Hello everyone and welcome to the latest post from the demented mind of Naso. Some of you may be wondering when I will update my other stories, but don't worry I have been working on them. New stuff coming as well, but first I gotta get a hold of Lady Orla. Currently I am working on Fusion, The Crimson & Jade Saga, Ship Restored, Angel Dust, End of Episode, and Pokemon High 2. I'm writing this as a break from that! Still not fully active again, but still trickling out some writing to post. I hope you all enjoy the latest fiction of mine, and I would like to thank the author of B*tch Slap for inspiring one of the events of the story.

Chapter 1- Energy Raid!

Gohan tried to pay attention in his last class of the day, but he found it very difficult with what had happened during the weekend. The twenty-fifth world's martial arts tournament had taken place, and Gohan had won. He expected his father or Vegeta to win the tournament, but he didn't expect to win it himself.

From the very start it was an odd turn of events. He was surprised not only that his father and Vegeta were pitted against one another in the first round, but that Videl lost her first match. She had taken a beating by the inhuman monster of a man named Spopoviche, and he had only stopped when Gohan went super saiyen and started to head into the ring.

He remembered seeing her in the hospital afterwards, and he had promised her to get him for her. He kept that promise, but he had ticked off Piccolo to do it. He didn't go super saiyen as requested by his opponent, but instead had knocked Kabito from the ring in an instant. No one told him he was disobeying the supreme kai, so how was he to know?

Although he felt bad for not listening to the kai, Gohan did feel good that he would keep his promise to Videl. He still remembered the next round clearly, and how Videl had caught the tail end of it. Despite Spopoviche's ability to take a hit, he was no match for Gohan, and he was down and bleeding by the time Videl came to watch. Gohan had left the ugly jerk with a very clear message of what would happen if he ever saw him outside the tournament.

The rest of the tournament was more or less uneventful, until the final match. Gohan faced Vegeta, and he knew he hadn't trained to Vegeta's level in his seven peaceful years of life. Once again however, Vegeta's own ego was what got him beat. As the two headed for the ring Videl wanted to wish Gohan luck, but Vegeta had shoved her out of the way. Considering she still had tender ribs despite the senzu bean Goku got for her, it had hurt her to be shoved so rudely.

Considering Gohan's protective rage was still fresh from earlier, he had reached into himself for the power to beat Vegeta. It had still been very close however. Both Gohan and Vegeta were very beat up at the end. Everyone had been there for Gohan despite the incident with the kai, and Videl was no exception. She still didn't know about the truth with Sel, but she did realize he was stronger than her father was at present.

**I don't know why no one has picked up on this, but if you watch the episode where Sel remembers leaving his tank you can see that the computer writes his name as Sel. Everyone seems to use the Cell spelling, but I think that's wrong.**

Now that Gohan was back in school he felt as if everything was different. By lunch everyone knew he was the great saiyaman, and he had tried his best to ignore the gossip and stares. He had found out that Videl was being kept at home for what remained of her injuries, and Gohan guessed that was only her father being over protective.

In truth it was the one trait Gohan felt Hercule Satan should ever be admired for, so he didn't hold it against the guy. With all his thoughts on Videl, and how Sharpner and Erasa were avoiding him it was no wonder Gohan couldn't focus. That's when it happened. Gohan sensed his little brother's ki from far away, and he couldn't understand how Goten could be coming to his school with Chichi watching him.

As Gohan felt Goten get closer and closer he grimaced as he realized the little boy was not slowing down as he got closer to his brother. Goten soon was in sight, and didn't even seem to intend on stopping for the school building between the two. In fact he didn't.

Gohan was shocked that even Goten could be so foolish. His mother had used her frying pan on the boy enough to teach him about not destroying property. Goten scared the bejeezus out of everyone as he flew right through the large glass windows and stopped in front of his brother. Gohan was going to start yelling when he noticed Goten's expression. Something was terribly wrong.

"Ni-chan Mom's hurt bad!" Goten shouted, "Please you gotta help, Mom won't get up!" Gohan was completely surprised by Goten. What could possibly hurt his mother? Gohan turned to his professor who had ducked behind his desk at the eruption of glass, and addressed the man hastily.

"I'm sorry sir, but I have to go right now." Gohan explained, "My Mom is hurt." Without further explanation Gohan grabbed his little brother in a tight embrace and shot back through the windows. As he was going he turned into a super saiyen and increased his speed greatly. It was a good thing he had grabbed his brother, because Goten was now sobbing.

Gohan still had to know what was wrong though. "Goten what happened to Mom that you're so worried." Gohan asked. Goten sniffled and peered up at his bother from under his arm, and the scared look on his face almost broke Gohan's heart.

"Mom was getting vegetables from the garden, and I was getting her some stuff to use when I heard her scream." Goten explained, "I ran out and there were two men from the tournament attacking Mom with a thing like a magic lamp, but they stabbed her with it." Goten really started tearing up as he explained.

"Then what happened." Gohan asked before realizing he wasn't paying attention to his flight path, "Hold on a sec Goten." Neither of the two boys were fazed as Gohan flew through a mountain that had, unfortunately for the mountain, been between Gohan and home.

"Mom fell down, and then the men tried to stab me with the lamp thing, so I.. blasted them. They're dead I think." Goten explained, "Then I went to get you because Mom wouldn't get up." As Goten finished explaining he broke down into a fit of tears, and Gohan could only hold his brother closer as he sped up further.

He wouldn't be the least bit sorry over the death of those two freaks with the M markings on their foreheads. Within a few more minutes time Gohan had arrived at the garden of the Son household, and he found his mother lying prone on her face. As he got closer he could see she appeared drained of her ki, and that she was wounded in her side.

"Don't worry Mom." Gohan explained to his mother, "I'll get you help." Gohan realized he would have to take her to the hospital since Dende was getting Goku checked back in with King Yama.

**If you all remember Goku's first time being brought back to life, you would remember Kami being there so this is a good excuse to have Dende gone.**

Gohan then turned and addressed his brother. "Goten, you won't be able to keep up with me, so fly to Bulma's and get them to take you to the Satan City Hospital. Can you be strong and do that for me bro?" Goten nodded and rubbed away his tears. Then, both he and Gohan flew off at the full speed their super saiyen forms allowed.

Gohan made sure to sense if the two attackers were indeed dead, and he sensed their ki in a crater about a football field away from the house. They weren't dead but they were wounded. Gohan didn't doubt his next decision one iota as he fired a ki blast from his free palm. Both Spopoviche and Yamu didn't have a chance as the explosion vaporized them both instantly.

Gohan noticed a tear slide down his mother's cheek a moment later before Chichi choked out a phrase. "My.. my dear sweet boys." Chichi stated with a kind of sad pride. They were saving their mother even if it meant killing. She was both sad and extremely proud as Gohan flew her towards the hospital.

Very quickly upon arriving at the hospital however, Gohan feared he would demolish it. "I don't care if we don't have insurance!" Gohan yelled at the retarded secretary he faced. Couldn't she see they needed help!

"Sir please calm down or I'll have to call security." The secretary warned him. This must have been the third time she had to say something like that this day, because she really didn't seem to mean a word of it. Then Gohan got an idea from her threat.

"Look I'll tell you what." Gohan said, "I am the world martial arts champion as of this weekend, and if you can't understand what that means I'll explain it to you ok? It means that I am good for the money. It means that I am not a patient person. It also means that if you call security every staff member in this building not helping my mother will in need medical care within the next hour! Now I suggest you help my mother now!"

Taking a more careful look at Gohan the lady then looked at a magazine being read in the lobby by a patient. On the cover was the exact same face, and she noted that the headline read 'deadly champion'. "Right away sir this way please." The secretary quickly rattled as she stood up to instantly help Gohan.

Most of Gohan's friends would have figured Gohan would never be so aggressive, but then again none of them knew how protective he was, except for Videl. Gohan was soon relieved of his mother as she was placed on a gurney and rushed to the emergency room.

The secretary then gently restrained Gohan and tried to reason with him. "I need you to stay here PLEASE?" She pleaded with him, "We can't help her if you go in there and get in the way." Gohan understood and returned to the lobby. He was handed some papers to fill out for payment, but he only found out their purpose by reading them.

God knows the secretary didn't dare tell him what they were. Gohan started to fill out the forms to the best of his ability, but he just didn't know enough about his family's finances to complete them. That's when Bulma, Vegeta, and the two chibi walked over to Gohan. Gohan was mildly surprised to feel Vegeta put a hand on his shoulder to reassure Gohan.

Bulma exchanged Gohan's forms for his brother, and told him to 'let her handle it'. Trunks was trying to help the, once again, sobbing Goten. "It's okay Goten." Trunks said, "Your mom is really tough. She didn't die from the attack, so I know she'll be fine." Trunks actually had some logic in what he said. Their mother would most likely be fine if she had made it this far.

"Gohan is that true?" Goten asked, and his eyes were pleading for good news. Gohan smiled and ruffled his brother's hair before hugging him. He didn't really have to answer his brother further, but he did anyway.

"You better believe it squirt, and you better look out for the frying pan when she sees what you did to the woods." Gohan explained as he tried to cheer up his brother. It did seem to help a little, but Goten seemed to become confused.

"Ni-chan, didn't you do more damage after that though?" Goten asked, and Gohan sweat-dropped as he noticed a questioning glance given by Vegeta. He didn't explain to Vegeta in detail, but he slid his finger across his throat to indicate he had finished the two intruders.

That was all the conversation they had for the next three hours for the most part, and it was pretty certain that either the Brief's had been told by Goten who the attackers were or that they would wait to find out. Finally, after what felt like days, a doctor came out and addressed Gohan as 'Mr. Son?'.

The doctor explained to them once away from the waiting room, that they had encountered problems closing the wound even though Chichi wasn't bleeding after being stabbed. As odd as that seemed. Then they were allowed to visit Chichi, but she would have to get rest because she appeared very drained of energy. Gohan and the other's placed no arguments and went to see Chichi.

As it turned out the women didn't have much strength to speak, and the visit only lasted about a half an hour. After it they had to leave Goten and Gohan were going to head to Bulma's when Gohan sensed a familiar ki back at his home. After apologizing to Bulma and getting Goten paired up with Trunks, Gohan set off to meet their visitor.

~Fin.

I think that went really well with the exception of the sadness evident. Don't worry though, it only gets better from now on, so don't worry about angst plaguing the fiction. Next chapter Gohan finds that Goten is scared to part with his brother, but Gohan still has to go to school! Until next chapter this is Naso saying enjoy life, and treat your mothers right this mother's day!
