MAJOR OOC For Vegeta in this chapter. You'll see what I'm talking about.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta stood in front of the huge building.
"What is this place?" Vegeta crossed his arms.
"Well, it's—" Goku began to say. A TV appeared in front of them.
"If it isn't Goku. I knew it was only time until I saw you again. Please, come right in, and bring your friends with you."
"It's a trap dad."
"I know son, but we won't know anything until we go." Goku proceeded to walk into the building. Gohan looked over at Vegeta, who shrugged his shoulders and walked after Goku.
Gohan, Vegeta and Goku ran into an empty room. There were several holes in the ceiling. After a few seconds, the door behind them slammed shut and spiked balls started to flood the room.
"Never teach an old dog new tricks" Goku smirked. They all flew into the air. After about five minutes and a million ki blasts later, the room was empty, once again. Another TV came down out of nowhere.
"So Goku. I see that there was no challenge there." Dr. Kotchen smiled, like always.
"I thought you were dead Kotchen. You're pulling the same tricks you did last time, and it won't work."
"But I did that to warm you up Goku. When you make it here, you will pay the ultimate price. Oh, and I have some people who seem to know you here." The TV switched over to the cell, showing Videl and Bulma. Gohan gasped at the sight.
"Videl…" Gohan clenched his teeth and tried to suppress his anger. He watched helplessly as a creature walked over to Videl, grabbed her collar, pull his fist back and—the screen went black. "Videl!" At this point, Gohan didn't bother to suppress anything. He immediately went Super Saya-Jin, tearing out several bricks in the wall.
"Gohan, calm down. Now is not the time to be losing it."
"Leave me alone dad!" With that, Gohan disappeared down the hall. Goku was about to go after him when Vegeta stopped him. "Let him go. He has his own matters to take care of that do not concern you." Vegeta smirked and started down the hall. "And so do I." Vegeta then started to head down the hallway. Goku stared at the emptiness of the hallway and smiled. He realized that it was Gohan's and Vegeta's battle this time, not his. Somewhat relieved that he was for once not needed, he blasted a hole in the ceiling and flew out.

Vegeta quickly caught up to Gohan, who had by this time calmed down. His hair was back too normal, although his eyes were green.
"Leave me alone Vegeta" Gohan said, without turning around. Vegeta walked up next to Gohan.
"You're not the only person fighting for something kid."
"Where's my father?"
"I don't know. I really don't care either. He probably left, figuring we could handle this."
Gohan thought about Vegeta's last words. "Did he just say we? Since when did Vegeta include anyone in anything except himself? This is new." Eventually, they had reached a dead end. Gohan looked at Vegeta, who nodded. They both powered up fairly weak ki balls and blasted through the wall. Walking through the debris, they found a single cell. Easily bending the bars, they walked in a looked around. It was fairly large and dark, so it was hard to see. Gohan heard someone whimpering in a back corner.
"G-Gohan" The voice said weakly. "H-help m-me."
Gohan eyes went wide as he ran towards the voice. It seemed to take him forever to run the short distance, but as he got closer he could make out the figure. Finally reaching the person, he knelt down in front of her. "Oh my god Videl, look at you!" He grabbed her shoulders and scanned her body. "What have they done to you? I swear I'll—" A tear rolled down Videl's cheek.
"What's wrong?" Gohan said, wiping away the tear.
"I didn't think you'd come. I thought you forgot about me. I thought you hated me because of the argument. I'm so sorry Gohan I shouldn't have freaked out at you. I'm so sorry."
Gohan brought Videl into his arms. "Hush. Be quiet. You have nothing to be sorry about. Everything will be okay. Don't worry."
"But it won't. It won't" Videl buried her face into Gohan's shoulder. "I'm hurt, Bulma's hurt, that crazy scientist is planning to destroy the universe or something. We're all doomed."
"Vegeta and I will take care of it. He's here with me."
"Really?" Videl pulled away and looked up and Gohan. Gohan's eyes softened. "Really"
~*~
Vegeta knelt down next to Bulma. She looked lifeless. Her face was a mixture of pain and terror. Vegeta sat on his knees and lifted Bulma into his arms. "Wake up Bulma" He said softly, gently shaking her. He considered punching her in the stomach, but quickly shook the thought away. He might have done that with everyone else, but not her. Vegeta shook her again. "Come on. Wake up." He looked up at the ceiling, then back down at her. He moved a piece of hair off her face. "Oh god, please wake up" Vegeta's whole body shook uncontrollably.
~*~
Gohan looked over at Vegeta. There was a sight you didn't see every day. Gohan then turned to Videl. "I'll be right back." He kissed her on the cheek. "Don't move." Gohan stood up and walked across the cell.
~*~
Vegeta felt a cold hand on his shoulder. Looking up, he saw Gohan's face. "Leave me alone Gohan." He looked back down at Bulma. Gohan did the same.
"She's an amazing person, isn't she?" Gohan looked down at the ground.
"Yes, she is. That's why I can't let anything happen to her."
Gohan knelt down next the Vegeta. Taking two fingers, he touched Bulma's neck. After a few moments, he stood back up. "Don't worry Vegeta. She's still alive. Her pulse is weak, but she's alive." Gohan turned and walked back over to Videl.
~*~
"Come on Videl. Let's go." Gohan said, slinging her arm over his shoulder. "Hey Vegeta. Let's head out of here." Vegeta shook his head silently and stood up with an unconscious Bulma in his arms. He silently followed Gohan, not taking his eyes off her. They all slowly headed towards the door, seeing that there was no immediate danger ahead of them. They were about to walk out when they heard a voice.
"I told you I wasn't through with you, Videl."
