The Last Stand

Chapter Seven: Videl informed
It was the next day and Gohan was waiting for Videl to arrive and again was thinking about what to and how to say it. "Do I tell her everything or just the stuff that she should know about right now, like Flying, Ki, and energy waves." Gohan thought. Just then Videl's jet chopper landed in front the house and stood there for her to get out. "Hey Gohan, so what did you want to talk to me about hmm." Videl said as she hopped out of her chopper. "We'll get to that later, but first I want you to come in and meet my family, but watch out for my little brother he's a bit playful at times." Gohan said as he toward the house. "I think I can handle some little kid, Gohan, really I can take care of myself." Videl called after as she followed Gohan into his house. "Yeah, okay Videl." Gohan said as he mentally laughing to himself as he compared Goten and Videl's Ki levels and found that Goten was at least 20 times stronger than Videl. When they got into the house Chichi was in the kitchen and was apparently cooking. Gohan walked up to his mom and said "Hey mom I'd like to meet someone." To which Chichi replied. " Oh and who might this someone be." It was then that she saw Videl and then looking toward Gohan she said. "Gohan, who is this and why haven't you introduced her to me." "Oh, mom this is Videl, she's a friend from school." Gohan replied blushing. " Oh a friend, yeah sure Gohan" Chichi replied as she winked she winked at Gohan, who blushed all the more and whined "Mom" To which Chichi responded "Okay, okay I'll stop. Oh and you're just in time for lunch, Videl would you like to join us." She said this as she gestured to the mountain of food on the table, at which Videl stared with amazement and said "Wow you really eat that much around here." "Well most of it is for Gohan and Goten, they both have quite the appetite growing boys you know." Chichi replied knowing full well how much two half Saiyans could eat. At that Chichi went over to the door and yelled out. "GOTEN, LUNCH IS READY." Not a moment after she said this Goten was at the table with chopsticks in his hand and a plate in of him with a mountain of food on it, and this he was eating as fast as he could. Gohan went over to the table and also started eating but in a slightly more civilized manner. Videl also went over to the table and tried to eat but couldn't help looking at Gohan and Goten and thinking " How does Gohan eat that much and still keep in shape, whoa, where did come from I never thought about how anyone else looked before. "After everyone had done eating and cleaning up Gohan took his mother aside and said, "Mom, I need help with this problem I have." "What is it Gohan" Chichi replied. "Well it's about Videl, we really need all the help we can get before the Saiyans arrive and Videl's a good choice right now with so little time but there something else. I really care for her and I don't want her to get hurt, so should keep her in the dark about me and my past and new threat that's coming, or should I tell her everything and let her get involved." Chichi stood there for a while thinking of a good answer for son's question when finally she spoke up, " Well, the best advice I can give you is this. You need all the help you can get right, so get her involved and during the fight watch her and if she gets hurt you'll get angry and when you do your hidden powers will come out, just like they did with Cell." To which Gohan said, " Mom you're the best thanks, now I have to go get Videl and tell her everything, I'll see you in a while bye" with that Gohan walked over to Videl and said. " Hey Videl you want to go for a walk I am ready to talk to you." "Alright lets go." Videl chirped and with that they walked outside and on into some woods until they came to a clearing with a lake which had a waterfall on the far side of it. Gohan stopped by a large boulder and sat down and Videl did the same right beside him. "Alright Videl, I've been hearing that you want to know who the Great Saiyaman is for some time now." Gohan said and Videl countered with " Yeah why, do you know who he is." "Yeah actually I do." Gohan replied as stood up while pushing the red button on his watch, which caused the Saiyaman outfit to appear, and then he flew up and floated in front of Videl and she gaped at him and stammered " I never even considered that it might be you Gohan." "Well, that was the idea, it was to protect my family from the limelight." Gohan said as came back down to the ground. "Videl," "Yeah Gohan what is it." "Well there are a few more things I have to tell you and it's a long story." "Well, I've got a lot of time." Videl said as they both sat back on the ground. Then Gohan told Videl about his Saiyan heritage and then went on to tell about his life in detail including his fight with Raditz and then on to his training with Piccolo and then of the arrival of Vegeta and Nappa and his role in the fight with them. Then he went on to tell Videl about the aftermath of the fight and his journey to Namek with Krillin and Bulma and his battles there with Frieza's henchmen and on to the battle with Frieza himself. Then he went on to tell about his battles with Garlic Jr. and the Spice boys, and then the return of Frieza and appearance of Trunks, with him beating Frieza and King Cold single-handedly and his message from the future about the Androids appearance in three years. Gohan then pressed on to tell about his training with his father and Piccolo during those three years. Gohan then stopped to let Videl take all this in and she was still doing this when Gohan said "Videl," "Yeah what is it Gohan." She replied. "Well, I just wondering if you wanted me to stop, because it's getting late and there are some you might not want to hear." Gohan said after Videl had answered. "No, Gohan I want to hear everything, I almost can't believe what I've already heard, but for some reason I trust you." She said, to which Gohan replied. "Okay Videl but I warned you." Gohan then went on to tell about the appearance of the Androids, and how Goku fought with them and was defeated. Then he told about the events leading up to the discovery of Cell and then he went on to the pursuit of Cell and his pursuit of the Androids and the absorbing of which caused him to go into his final form. Gohan then stopped and took a breath and continued on to his Training with his dad in The Chamber of Spirit and Time. He then went on to the days before the start of the Cell games and the time he spent with his family. Then he started to get choked up as he described his dads' fight with Cell and of his own fight with Cell after his dad had given up. He then described how he told Cell about his hidden powers and then how Cell did things to unleash his power. Gohan then stopped for the next part he had to tell was quite hard for him and then after catching his breath for a minute or went on to tell Videl about his powers being unleashed and his fight with Cell after they were. He then described Cells' subsequent crushing at his own hands and then he told about Cell last desperation move, blowing himself up to win, and having Goku sacrifice himself to save everyone else. After Gohan told this he broke down and wept and Videl tried to comfort him in any way she reasonably could, but to no avail, because all Gohan kept saying "It was all my fault, I should have killed Cell when I had the chance." He then caught his breath and began to tell Videl about the end of his fight with Cell. First he told about how Cell came back, somehow, alive and how Cell killed Trunks and knocked out Vegeta, he then told about how Cell was about to blast Vegeta when He (Gohan.) jumped in front of the blast and it hit and broke his arm. After that happened Gohan told Videl how Cell then charged up a kamehameha and he did as well except only with one arm. Gohan then talked about the ensuing energy contest between him and Cell, and the intervention of his friends and how they helped him. Gohan then cleared his throat for he knew the next part would be hard for Videl to take in. Gohan then about his victory over Cell and immediately after he told Videl this she jumped up and yelled at him, "You mean you beat Cell, I don't believe it." "Well that's what happened." Gohan retorted not at all surprised by how Videl reacted. They stood there for about five minutes in uneasy silence when Videl suddenly snapped "Prove it." "What?" Gohan said somewhat surprised when Videl repeated, "Prove to me how you beat Cell." "Alright, here goes" Gohan sighed as he concentrated his energy, then with a quick, but sharp yell Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan. At this Videl jumped back and stammered, "You're the Gold Fighter too, ok that makes sense but what was that kamehameha thing you mentioned." "I'll show you, but you better stand back." "Okay." Videl replied as she complied. Gohan then cupped his hands and brought around to left side and moving his whole body accordingly. "KA…" Gohan started as he brought energy to his hands "ME…HA…ME…" Gohan continued as brought the energy into a beam. "HAAA…" Gohan screamed as he unleashed the kamehameha, it went over the surface of the lake and slammed into a mountain, completely destroying it. "Wow." Videl said as she stared wide-eyed at the rubble. After this display Gohan reverted out of Super Saiyan form and said, "Videl there are two other things I have to tell you." "What is it Gohan" "Well, remember when I told you about the Saiyans." "Yes, I do, Why?" "Well, there are five hundred-thousand of them on their way here right now, to destroy earth." "Oh my gosh, what are you going to do about it Gohan." "That's where the second thing I have to tell you comes in, you see there not enough warriors around here who can manipulate Ki like the Saiyans and you are the strongest person I know of who can't." "Really?" Videl said, as she blushed a little. "Yes, really now the Saiyans will be here in three months, so I can teach you how to fly and use energy attacks" "Energy attacks what are those" Videl said a little confused. "It's the same thing as the thing I shot from my hands earlier." "Wow, you mean I can learn to do that." " Yes, if you accept my offer to train you." "Oh yes, I accept" "I don't know, Videl, I wouldn't want you getting hurt." "Oh please Gohan, don't worry I'll be fine." "Alright if you say so Videl." "Thanks, Gohan." "Okay, now I just have to run back to the house and tell my where going" Gohan said as he disappeared and headed back towards his house. "Hey, where are we going." Videl yelled after him but Gohan was already out of hearing range. Not three seconds after he started Gohan was at his house and in the door, " Hey mom I was wondering if Videl and I could go up to Dende's lookout so I can train her, in about a week." "Oh, Gohan you told her, how wonderful of course you can go, don't make me a grandmother to soon, I'm not ready yet." " Mom." Gohan whined but then said, " Thanks again mom." With that he ran out of house and back to where Videl was. He found Videl lying on the grass almost asleep but not quite, as she spotted Gohan when he came out of the woods and he got near she said, "Hey, you never where we were going." "Remember that lookout I mentioned in my story." "Yeah." "Well that's where were going." "Okay, but what is it." You'll see, now lets go do that homework so you can go home, but can you meet me at this spot in about in about five days so we can go up to the lookout." "Alright, that would be Thursday right, Okay I'll be here." "Good now lets go." With that Videl and Gohan did and talked for the rest of the day until Videl had to leave later that night.
