Chapter 3-Halo's Deadly Encounter
"Pan, I'm relaying on you to watch your aunt while I'm gone." Goku said.
"You bet Grandpa!" Pan said cheerfully.
"I'll be back soon Videl." Goku said.
"Sure Goku." Videl replied.
"See ya soon daddy!" Halo called, waving furiously as she so often did.
As Goku flew off into the distance, Pan turned to Halo.
"It's so weird Halo." Pan said. "You're my aunt, but I'm older than you!"
"It does make you laugh doesn't it." Halo said, giggling.
"But I don't mind! Better to have a younger aunt than no aunt at all!" Pan said happily.
Halo nodded in complete agreement and laughed contentedly.
"Okay you two, inside now." Videl said. "Bra, Marron and Tyler are coming over later and you don't wanna get messing do you?"
"No way! Come on Halo, we'll think of a game in my room." Pan said.
"Okay Pan." Halo said.
The two girls ran inside and practically jumped up the stairs, much to Videl's amusement. Videl then walked down and sat on the sofa and glanced at a framed photo on the small table to her right. In the picture were all the Z Fighters, apart from Halo, looking cheerful, carefree and happy. This picture was taken a week before the tragedy which claimed hundreds of lives, including Chichi, Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Vegeta. The end result had also left Mirai Trunks stranded in this timeline, since his Time Capsule had been destroyed. However, there was some hope for him. Bulma, ever since the battle, had been determined to get Mirai back to his timeline and decided that if her future self could build a time machine then so could she.
Videl sighed softly to herself as her mind went back to the last time she saw Gohan.
*Flashback*
"I have to go help my father fight, Videl." Gohan said, holding his wife close to his chest.
"Then let me come with you." Videl whispered.
"You know I can't let you do that. It's too risky and I'd never forgive myself if you got hurt or died. Besides, who would look after Pan?"
"I could ask Bulma, she's already watching Marron and Bra."
Gohan shook his head.
"I'm sorry Videl, not this time."
"At least…promise me you'll come back to me and Pan."
"Videl…I don't know if I can promise that. I can't because I have no idea what'll happen, you know how powerful this enemy is; you of all people remember what happened to Vegeta. A Saiyan never breaks a promise Videl that's why I can't promise you that I'll come back. I will however, promise you that I'll always be with you in your heart and soul, no matter what happens."
Videl hugged her husband tighter, laying her head against his muscular chest as silver tears spilled from her eyes. She knew in her heart that Gohan was right and the promise he made was the promise that would never be broken. Gohan lifted her head gently so he could see her face. He softly wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled lovingly.
"Take care of Pan for me while I'm gone and take care of yourself." Gohan whispered, kissing Videl forehead. "I'll always love you."
"And I'll always love you Gohan." Videl said, kissing his cheek.
Gohan then floated above the ground, blew Videl a kiss and flew off in the direction of the already raging final showdown.
*End Flashback*
That was the last time she saw Gohan alive. As she came back to reality, Videl felt bitter tears flowing down her cheeks. There were days when Videl felt that Gohan's promise had been broken, but she knew it hadn't. Her heart hurt so much from the grief. Videl got up, walked to the window and looked into the sky. Amazingly, but not to her surprise, she could just manage to see a single star shining in the daylight sky. She knew who it was, she just wished she could grow a pair of satin white wings and fly up to him.
"Oh Gohan." Videl whispered. "You have no idea how much we, how much I miss you. You're not here to watch your daughter grow up, your sister neither. I know your watching over us, but it's not the same. Pan growing up into a beautiful girl and she's very strong like you. Halo too, is a strong for her age, but that's not to be unexpected. She's always asking about you and everyone else up there. She so badly wishes to meet you and know you like she should. Halo has two brothers and a mother, whom she's never met. It's not fair; it's not right. You should be here Gohan, to watch everyone grow up. We should be together, to live, love and grow old together. But no matter what Gohan, I know you're always with me and everyone else, you all are. I love you Gohan."
Though Videl couldn't see, the star shimmered more brightly in reply.
"I don't know if that's a good idea Halo." Bra said.
"But I wanna go explore!" Halo said. "I'm bored."
"Yeah but it's dangerous." Pan said.
"Isn't your father going to be coming back soon anyway, Halo?" Marron asked.
"All the more reason for us to go on a quick adventure then!" Halo said.
"Well we want to stay inside since it's raining and Videl won't let you go on your own." Bra said.
Halo sighed and walked towards the door.
"I'll just go get some drinks then." Halo said sadly.
Halo walked slowly downstairs and noticed Videl asleep on the sofa. Halo looked back upstairs, then back at the front door and smiled to herself.
"No one will mind if I just go for a little run around." Halo thought, opening the front door.
No sooner had Halo walked out the door than the lightning and thunder started ripping across the dark sky. Halo, though a little nervous, didn't let it worry her and she run off cheerfully into the tall trees. Halo jumped around for about 10 minutes before she sat down to take a break. Halo let the large raindrops refresh her as they splashed across her gentle features and ran down her body.
It was then that Halo's senses suddenly alerted her to a presence. Halo stood up and looked around. It was dark so she couldn't see much, but she let her senses guide her. Soon enough she saw the back of a small figure sitting down in a tiny clearing muttering.
"Erm, hello?"
The figures spun around and fell over in fright. Halo winced.
"Sorry about that, I didn't mean to scare you." Halo said.
The figure stood up. He was the same height as Halo, maybe a little taller. He looked human, apart from a few features. He had dirty blonde hair which stood out in sharp spikes, two small black horns on the side of his head, dark green spikes sticking out from his back, a unicorn like tail and small dragon wings.
"Who are you? What do you want?" The figure asked harshly.
"Oh my name is Halo Son. Who are you?" Halo replied.
The figure raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
"My name is Rogue." The figure replied.
"Hmm, that name sounds familiar, but from where." Halo thought to herself.
"Tell me, are you related to Goku Son?" Rogue asked.
"Yeah, he's my father. How'd you know him?" Halo asked.
A large and very menacing smirk slid across Rogue's face and Halo instantly become extremely afraid.
"Deary deary me, how stupid of your father to let you wander to your death young Halo Son." Rogue said sinisterly.
"What do you mean?" Halo asked in fear.
"Has he not told you about me?" Rogue asked. "Did he not tell you what happened to your mother and your two brothers along with Vegeta, Trunks and other pathetic weaklings that live o0n this planet."
"They were killed, b y a terrible monster a long time ago." Halo said.
Rogue's vicious smirk increased and all too quickly, Halo realised what Rogue was talking about. Her senses saved her as Rogue threw a powerful blood red energy ball at her. Halo flew backwards and landed hard the wet ground, nearly slipping. She assumed a fighting stance, trying to break her fear.
"It's you! IT WAS YOU WHO CAUSED THAT TRAGEDY!" Halo yelled.
"Well it took you long enough." Rogue said, walking towards Halo.
"But…but dad said that you were dead!" Halo said.
"I'm sure he did." Rogue replied, standing opposite Halo. "But he was wrong. I survived! Now I shall claim my revenge on him and those other fools!"
"YOU LEAVE MY FATHER ALONG!" Halo screamed, baring her teeth.
"Oh I won't kill him right away. Where's the fun in that?" Rogue said. "No, I think I'll let him suffer by killing you."
Halo growled fiercely. Half of her was terrified, but the other half was furious that this beast that had killed her mother, brothers and her friend's father and brother was still alive and ready to get revenge.
"I WON'T LET YOU TOUCH THEM!" Halo yelled, her Ki level rising dramatically.
"And what are you going to do about it little girl?" Rogue taunted.
Halo finally cracked. Head thrown up high in the air she screamed for all she was worth. A bright golden aurora wrapped itself around Halo's body and she transformed into a Super Saiyan. This was the first time she had reached the level and she was the first female Saiyan to do so. She stood opposite Rogue, totally covered in golden flames, her aqua eyes burning with a fierce fire. Rogue was drawn back by the power since he didn't expect it. Halo used this to her advantage and shot forward. She punched him in the face, twisted behind him and kicked him in the back, blasted upward and finally elbowed him in his chest so he crashed into the ground with a sickening thud. Halo landed straight opposite and breathed heavily. Since she had never used the Super Saiyan powers before, she wasn't used to it and tired easily.
Suddenly, she heard a cruel laugh. To her disbelief, Rogue rose from the crater surrounded by poisonous purple aurora, not one single scratch on his body.
"This can't be happening!" Halo said in shock. "Not even a scratch! Surely you can't be THAT powerful!"
"YOU LITTLE FOOL!" Rogue screamed. "WHY DO YOU THINK YOUR PATHETIC FAMILY AND FRIENDS DIED? BY UNDERESSTIMATING MY POWER! NOW YOU DIE!"
Rogue's power increased even more, causing the entire Earth to shake. Halo stood froze to the spot in fear. Then, pure electricity blasted down from the sky and hit Rogue. Then, his power harnessed the lightning and turned it into a deadly black colour.
"I hope you'll have no hard feelings towards me Halo Son." Rogue smirked. "It's just that I know your father, Son Goku, cares very deeply for you and that's why I must kill you. Farewell little angel."
Rogue then stuck his hand out and the lightning shot from his hand into Halo's body, impacting on her chest. Halo screamed to unknown decibels and was blasted by the power. Halo crashed into many trees before smashing into the ground. Halo lay still for a few seconds before half opening her eyes. Every other part of her body was limp, she could barely breathe and her heartbeat was getting weaker. Her head fell to the side, watching a still laughing Rogue enter the deeper darkness of the forest. Halo let her eyes drift shut as the thunder and lightning continued to echo through out the entire world. The rain pelted Halo's lifeless body on the ground, the lightning highlighting her silent and bloody features.
Suddenly, a soft golden glow came from above Halo's head in the sky and the halo symbol on Halo's head joined the glow. Halo's eyes struggled to open again and she managed half. As she did so she heard a flapping sound, like a pair of cotton soft wings. Then, Halo felt a pair of strong, warm arms wrap around her broken body and lift her from the wet ground. Halo turned her head so she could look upward. Her eyes met a pair of gentle black orbs and a kind smile.
"Be still Halo, you'll be okay."
Halo noticed a halo ring around the figure's head and a set of beautiful cotton feathered white wings coming from his back.
"Are…you an Angel?" Halo managed to ask weakly.
The figure looked down at Halo and smiled gently while holding her closer to his chest as he began walking.
"Yes, I am an Angel."
"Are you…going to take me to heaven?" Halo asked.
The Angel smiled again and began stroking Halo's wet and matted black hair, soothing her.
"Sssshhh, no more questions Halo. You sleep now, everything will be different in the morning."
Halo's head turned to the side so it rested on the Angel's chest and her soft eyes closed once more.
The lightning slowly faded as the thunder became more distant and light returned.
So how was that? Want more? R&R and tell me! ^_^
