(A/N You're all going to hate me by the end of this chapter, but bare with it, it'll be all good by the end of the story)
Chapter 5: Unwelcome Visitors
Gohan walked downstairs and yawned. Kakkarot and Chichi were standing in the living room talking to Goten as Gohan walked over and sat in one of the chairs.
"Goten, I want you to behave and be good for Gohan and Videl. You may not understand this, but it is very important that you stay near your brother at all times."
Chichi said to Goten while he was kneeling on the couch in front of his parents. "I also want you to watch Gohan and Videl and make sure they don't do anything funny while we are gone." Chichi looked up, noticed Gohan and smiled, "Hello honey, just giving Goten some last minute instructions before we leave."
"You're leaving this early? But breakfast hasn't even been prepared yet!" Gohan exclaimed, not believing his parents were leaving already.
Kakkarot patted his stomach and smiles, "Chichi already made food for the two of us, Videl is currently in the kitchen making breakfast for you three. She should be done rather soon considering there is only two saiyans to feed, not four." Kakkarot said as he walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he looked back with a serious expression on his face, "I want you to be careful Gohan, don't do anything funny, and don't let your guard down. This is the perfect time for them to attack us, when our forces are split in half, and I'm afraid that is exactly what they might do."
Chichi hugged both her sons and walked outside with her mate right behind her.
When the door closed Gohan sighed, "Looks like it's just you, me and Videl squirt. Do you want to do anything? I no longer have a sparing partner and I can work on my new technique later, which leaves me open this morning." Gohan said looking at Goten.
"Really Gohan? Can we train some more?" Goten asked excitedly and then remembered something, "Wait… I promised Trunks I'd go play with him after our parents left. Me and him and some of our friends are gonna go play hid and seek in the forest." His fathers warning to stay near Gohan already forgotten.
Gohan looked up at Goten and smiled, "It's alright. I'll find something to do. Just be careful, you know what father said."
Just then Videl walked into the room and smiled at Gohan. "Breakfast is ready, just help yourselves to it."
The two saiyans rushed to the kitchen and began gobbling down the food that lay on the table. Videl seated herself down and began eating, all the while thinking of the previous night.
When the saiyans were finished eating breakfast Goten scampered out of the house and headed towards the city to meet up with Trunks and his friends while Gohan and Videl walked into the living room and sat beside each other on the couch.
Videl turned to Gohan and found him smiling at her and couldn't help but smile back, "Gohan, I've been… thinking, about last night." Videl started. Gohan stopped her from continuing by putting a finger on her lips.
"Videl, from the first time I looked into your eyes, I felt something. I had no idea what it was at the time, and I still don't. All I know is that when I'm with you, I feel a happiness I've never felt before." Gohan removed his finger from her mouth, "I'm not sure what it's called anywhere else. Mother and father never talk about their relationship but I know they feel the same for each other that I feel for you. The only word I know that comes close is lust, but while… I admit you have a nice body, but there's something more to what I feel towards you. I don't know what it is. All I know is it makes me feel warm and happy inside whenever I look at you."
Videl looked at Gohan, eyes wide in surprise. "I-I don't know what to say… Where I come from, the word is called love. I just never expected to experience it for a saiyan." Videl said, surprise still written across her face.
Gohan's own expression mirrored Videl, "You... feel the same way?" Gohan said, and smiled widely, "At least I know the feeling isn't one way. I… just wish you were a saiyan. I'm not sure how a… relationship between a human and a saiyan will work out. I mean, no offense, but your extremely weak and you're a different race."
Videl smiled back at Gohan and embraced him. "It's alright, we'll figure something out." Videl said, still holding Gohan. She snuggled her head into his chest when he wrapped his arms around her. "As for being weak… I don't suppose you could… train me. I used to practice martial arts back home, but I never took it seriously. Maybe its time I did."
Gohan looked down at Videl in his arms, I can't believe this. I can't believe I feel this way for a human… oh well, it could be worse, it could be Alysa. Gohan snickered at the thought causing Videl to look up.
"What is it?" Videl asked
"Just thinking that falling for you is a lot better then falling for Alysa." Gohan said, wrapping his arms tighter around Videl.
Videl smiled up at Gohan, closed her eyes and relaxed.
The two of them stayed that way for a couple minutes before Gohan removed his arms from around Videl. Videl looked up at Gohan, a question written plainly in her eyes.
"Well, if we're going to get you stronger, we might as well start now." Gohan explained, still smiling at Videl.
Videl nodded and got up off the couch. The two of them walked out of the house and started training in the clearing where the house was located.
"Ok, before I can start teaching you ki control, we're going to have to build some ki. I want you to follow what I do, these are simple exercises that help you warm up. After that I'll show you some stances and forms along with some fighting techniques. After that, if we have time, we'll actually spar, but I won't use any ki to help keep the fight fair. Once you progress far enough to be noticeable with a scouter I'll teach you about ki." Gohan said and began stretching and doing various exercises meant for warming up.
Videl followed along with Gohan and mimicked his every move. By the end of the warm up Videl felt a little winded, but definitely warmed up. They were about to move on to the stances and forms when huge shadows appeared above. The two of them looked up and many star cruisers flying out of the planets atmosphere a few other smaller star ships following them.
(A/N Yes, I know saiyans have those pods but generally you never see more then 5 people going to 1 place so star ships are needed, but with THIS many saiyans going and the number is in the hundreds of thousands, they're using star ships. The pods are used when landing on planets.)
"There goes my parents, I hope they get back before anything bad happens. It may be just my dad rubbing off on me but I'm starting to get a bad feeling from all this." Gohan said as he watched the last of the ships leave the atmosphere. "Well, lets get back to training."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Five hours later…
Gohan walked into the living room followed by a very happy but an exhausted Videl. The two of them had gone in after Gohan's stomach rumbles reminded them that it was lunch time. Videl looked at the kitchen and sighed. I'm so tired, I'm glad I don't have to cook for four.
Gohan looked up at Videl from where he sat on the couch. "Do you want help with lunch? I'm not much of a cook, but I could help by bringing stuff to you." Gohan asked, "I know you have to be exhausted from all that. Don't worry, soon this will be nothing for you, you're a natural at this stuff."
Videl looked back at Gohan and smiled gratefully, "Thanks, I'd love that. It's hard enough to stand on my own two feet."
The preparation of lunch took longer then normal despite the fact they only had two cook for two saiyans. The training had taken its toll on Videl and it showed from how quickly she prepared lunch. When lunch was finally finished and set upon the table Goten zipped in and sat down.
Videl looked at Goten, "How did you know it was lunch time? I never called you." Videl asked, confused.
Goten beamed up at Videl, "My tummy was rumbling and I smelt food so I flew home as fast as I could and the game we were playing was almost finished anyways and I was REALLY hungry." Goten said really fast and began digging into the food.
Videl just smiled at him and began eating herself while Gohan was already finishing his third serving. Once lunch was finished Goten ran outside to rejoin his friends while Videl went to take a nap, exhausted from the training.
This is a good time to develop my technique further, Gohan thought smiling to himself. Gohan left the house and walked to the pond and began meditating once more. He extended his ki from him and enveloped everything around him. He could feel the trees, the animals, are living creatures within 80 miles of him. He found that particularly interesting considering that his power level is at 80,000.
With his ki extended around him Gohan tried to analyze the living things around him, but at first couldn't distinguish any differences between them. After awhile he began to notice a slight difference between the animals and the trees. The difference wasn't in strength like he first expected, but in life force. He had been trying to gauge differences in strength, forgetting that most of their strength didn't come from their muscles, but came from their ki. As their ki grew, so did their strength, as it decreased, their strength went with it.
Gohan smiled to himself, I'm finally making progress. Gohan used his ki, which was extended out from him, and wrapped it around each living creature in the 80 mile radius. As he did so the ki in the living creatures pulsated against his differently. Some strong and fast, some soft and slow. Strong and fast from the chimeras and lions, creatures of the hunt, while soft and slow from the trees and plants. He could even feel which way they were moving by whether or not they were moving towards the center of his ki blanket or the exterior. He smiled happily when something flying above and to the northwest flew through his ki blanket. The ki of that creature was pulsating savagely and quickly as his ki wrapped around it. That must be another saiyan that had to remain on the planet. Gohan smiled and stood up; the ki blanket disappeared and snapped back into him. Gohan sighed; I guess my next trick is to try doing it while I'm not meditating.
Gohan looked up and through the opening in the trees in the center of the glade. "Wow, I must have been meditating long then I thought, it's getting really close to supper, I better head home." With that Gohan began to jog home and quickly reached the clearing where his house was. As he entered the clearing the smell of food wafting from the kitchen made his mouth water and stomach rumble. He bolted for the door to the house and just as he hit the door Goten flew at it as well and both tumble down in a heap laughing.
Videl walked into the living room to see what the commotion was about and started laughing. Gohan and Goten were both rolling around in a heap at the door wrestling each other. "Ok you two, supper will be ready in a few minutes." Videl said as she tried to stifle her laugh.
At the word supper the two stopped wrestling and perked up immediately. Supper passed uneventfully and after the dishes were cleaned up Gohan began training Videl once again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8 days later…
Gohan flowed from stance to form and back again going through all that he knew. He smiled as his ki blanket was still in place and he could still detect ki levels of the animals, plants and various saiyans that flew within his ki blanket. I think I'm finally getting the hang of this; all I need to be able to do now is keep it up during combat.
Gohan frowned as he detected a really strong and violent ki was flying in the direction of his home. I wonder who that could be, there's no reason for anyone to come out… Alysa. "Shit! I forgot she said she was going to come over while my parents were gone." Gohan sprinted back to his house and got there a few minutes before Alysa did.
Gohan watched as she came into view and landed just in front of him. God, why does she have to do this to me? I am happy without her in my life. Gohan put on a fake smile, "Hi Alysa, what brings you here?" Gohan asked innocently.
Alysa smiles at Gohan, "So, have you made up your mind? Will you ditch the bitch and take me instead? You've tasted my cooking before, and you know its better then anything that slave can make." Alysa said sneering in the direction of the house.
Gohan remembers back to the one and only time he ate Alysa's cooking and is reminded that he never ever wanted to eat it again. Gohan is brought back into the present as she continued.
"I'm not sure what entertainment you get from her, but I can assure you, I can provide FAR more pleasure." Alysa took Gohan's hand and placed it on her breast. "All you have to do is say the word, and I'll take you to heaven." Alysa said as a grin took in her entire face.
Just then, Videl walked outside and saw Gohan's hand on Alysa's breast. Tears began to form in her eyes, until she saw the barely disguised look of disgust on Gohan's face and Alysa's hand that held Gohan's in place. Whew, I thought he was toying with me for a second. That bitch, I'll teach her to lay a hand on my Gohan.
"HEY! Take your hand off Gohan now!" Videl shouted at Alysa, storming across the lawn, spatula in hand.
Alysa turned and stared at Videl in amazement, "How dare you talk to me like that slave… Where is you collar? Gohan what's going on…" before she had a chance to say anything Videl pounced on her.
"Don't talk to me like I'm a slave, because I'm not, THAT'S WHY! NOW GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I KICK YOU OUT!" Videl screeched at Alysa swinging her spatula at her.
Alysa started to laugh until the spatula smacked her across the face giving her a jagged cut and knocked her off her feet. Alysa, now to angry to be shocked, bounded to her feet. "That's the last time you ever hit me bitch! YOUR GONNA PAY FOR RUINING MY FACE!" Alysa screamed at Videl and jumped at her.
The two girls grappled each other and started rolling around on the ground beating and biting, hair pulling and nail scratching each other. Gohan just looked on in amazement. If this wasn't serious I would be dieing of laughter right now, I'm glad I gave Videl those training sessions or she would be in trouble right now, as it is she is holding her own. I just hope this doesn't escalate to ki blasts, I haven't taught Videl how to control ki yet, even though she can, Gohan thought.
Goten decided that it was lunch time and appeared on the scene and landed beside Gohan. "Big brother, why is Videl wrestling that weird ugly lady on the ground?" Both winced when an 'I AM NOT UGLY' rose from the place where Videl and Alysa were fighting.
Gohan looked at Goten, "Well you see, Alysa has been chasing me for some time, but she hasn't realized that I don't like her and wouldn't mate her if she was the last saiyan alive." Gohan said and a gasp came from Alysa. She stopped fighting and Videl, before realizing she had stopped fighting her, hit which caused Alysa to scream at Videl and started the fight back up again. "She's fighting Videl because Videl knocked her down when Alysa tried to convince me that she was better then Videl. She thinks she's more beautiful and can cook better then Videl, but in my opinion, Videl beats her easily in both departments." Gohan said confidingly to Goten. Videl looked at Gohan, then Alysa and back to Gohan and her jaw dropped, which was immediately hit by Alysa. Videl snarled and started to roll around with Alysa again. "I'm just glad I've been training Videl. Physically she's just as strong as Alysa, which means she's average for a saiyan… I just wish she was a saiyan, that way I could mat… ahh I mean…" Gohan puts his hand behind his head and gives a little laugh. At this both Videl and Alysa stop fighting each other and stared at Gohan.
Did he just say I was as strong as most saiyans? And that he wanted to… mate me? Videl thought, shocked but pleased at both thoughts.
She's just as strong as a saiyan? But how? She was weaker then any saiyan when I first met her. And he wants to… how could I lose him? Alysa thought, shocked, upset and disappointed at her thoughts.
Alysa looked at Videl and screamed in rage. HOW DARE SHE TAKE MY MATE AWAY FROM ME! As she was about to attack, Goten got everyone's attention with a simple statement.
"Is daddy and mommy home already?" Goten said pointing into the sky.
Gohan, Alysa and Videl stared up into the sky and the blood drained from their face.
"Oh no." All three said in unison.
-------------------------------
Far far away, about a week's journey away from Gohan and the rest…
King Vegeta sat in his chair on the bridge of the flag ship. "What's the status on the attack?" King Vegeta asked Bardock who had just recently returned from the front lines.
Bardock bowed to his king, "My liege, the world should be yours in a matter of hours. It is suspiciously under protected. After breaking through their automated defensives and their shield surrounding their planet we have met minimal resistance. We have taken very few casualties and our men are currently cleaning up the rest of the rats that went into hiding after their pathetic excuse for a main force was eradicated. There wasn't a single person with a power level over 20,000 in it."
Bardock said, a frown on his face, "I'm worried my king, a planet this important to the rebels shouldn't be this easy to take over. Their ion cannon was even unmanned and disabled. It's almost as if they didn't want to destroy our starships."
King Vegeta looked away from Bardock and through the view screen at the planet below. "I'm beginning to agree with you Bardock, I expected a week long fight for this planet according to the data collected on the planet, and we've taken it in almost a day." King Vegeta stood up and walked to the huge view screen to get a better look at the planet. "Tell the men to forget about cleaning the rats out, take the supplies now; I want to begin heading home by the end of the day. I'm worried about my mate and child. I'll be in my quarters if there is anything more." King Vegeta turned to leave when someone at the communications part of the bridge spoke.
"My liege, we have an incoming message. It seems to be pre-recorded. Should I put it through to you office or view it here?" The communications officer asked.
"Show me here, I have a feeling I know what it is." King Vegeta said, waving his hand to the officer.
The view screen changed and instead of the planet, a large saiyan geared up in full battle armor sat in a golden chair. "How is it going Vegeta?" King Thraknor said with a smirk, "I'm guessing right about now you're thinking something is wrong. I am also assuming you have taken the planet or will in a few hours." King Thraknor laughed harshly, "You fell for my ploy Vegeta, just like Frieza said you would. I'll be waiting for you, on your own thrown, on your home planet. As your getting this we have begun bombarding the planet. Our saboteurs that we planted in your capital city while you were giving your speech have by now deactivated the external defenses of the planet and destroyed the shield protecting the capital city." King Thraknor leaned forward. "It has been a good war hasn't it? Your father was too cautious to do anything daring, not even Frieza could make him do something like you are now. We knew you were different, you may be stronger then your father, but you are far more reckless. And that recklessness will be your downfall." The king leaned back in his chair and propped his foot up on something unseen. "Frieza is getting bored with this war, and I can't help but agree. He wants this war ended, and he doesn't want you the victor. You're not worthy enough to be seen as an equal to Frieza. We made a deal, and the deal was to collaborate your downfall. Enjoy your small victory in taking that pathetic excuse for a supply planet… You didn't really think it was our main one did you?" King Thraknor laughed cruelly, "We publicly released information and boasted that this was our second most heavily defended planet and that it was our main supply planet. Since everyone was so focused on that planet, they never bothered to look for another." The king sat forward once more, his hand clasped in front of him. "I am recording the attack on Planet Vegeta, and when it's been totally crushed, I'm sending a copy to every ally you currently have. Seeing their saiyan ally fall, their home destroyed, they will be quick to leave the war, but I won't let them. I'll tell them, join me, or you will be destroyed, and I have no doubt that every single one of them will join. What species wants to be annihilated? None that I know of. I might… make a few examples of some of them, the more annoying and stronger ones. That should be enough to cow the rest to join." King Thraknor sat back and smirked so evilly it sent shivers down everyone's spines. "Oh, and your mate… I am going to enjoy her, I must say, you do have good taste in women when it comes to looks. I'm sure the thought of her son being… tortured for the rest of his life will be enough to break her." The king cackles insanely and the transmission ends.
King Vegeta began trembling, but not in fear, in rage. "Damn him, DAMN HIM!! IF HE TOUCHES HER I WILL RIP HIS HEAD OFF! FUCK THE SUPPLIES GET EVERYONE BACK NOW!! I WANT EVERYONE HEADED BACK TOWARDS VEGETA IN 15 MINUTES!" Vegeta roared to everyone.
The bridge burst into motion. Messages were sent down to the surface recalling all forces immediately and with the warning that anyone not back within 15 minutes would be left behind. People ran about preparing the ships for warp drive.
King Vegeta turned to Bardock, "Take the 50 strongest people you know and meet me on the star shifters, we're gonna go home as fast as possible. They have enough power to get there without having to refuel. We should be able to make it back in two days going at top speed. When we get there, we're heading to the capital; we must protect the capital at all costs. I won't have my mate in… his hands." King Vegeta snarled out and headed towards the star shifters.
Bardock turned to the two royal elite guards that were left on the bridge. "You two, help me. We need to send a message down to the other elite guards and top elite soldiers." The elite guards, having seen their king in a rage and the message on the screen didn't even hesitate before they went and helped Bardock.
-------------------------------
Back on planet Vegeta…
Goten started tugging on Gohan's battle armor. "Gohan, what's wrong? Isn't that mommy and daddy?" Goten asked, confused.
Gohan looked down at Goten, "No, its not… it's the rebels, they're here to kill us all." Gohan looked away from Goten's face and at the two girls, "We have to get to the capital NOW! It's the safest place to be, they won't be able to break through the shields protecting the city." Gohan said to the other two.
Both nodded numbly, their animosity forgotten under the threat of total annihilation. Gohan rushed over to Videl and picked her up. She gave a little yell of surprise but then wrapped her arms around his neck. The four of them rose into the air and began heading towards the capital.
Goten began tugging on Gohan's armor again, "Gohan, can't you beat them. I heard daddy saying you're almost stronger then Vegeta." Goten said as he tried to be brave. Alysa stared at Gohan in disbelief and mouthed the words, stronger then Vegeta?
Gohan looked down at Goten and smiled sadly, "No, I can't take them. I'm not strong enough. I'll probably end up being one of the last alive… but my power isn't strong enough to take all of them out." Gohan said with a sad note in his voice. "Don't worry Goten; I'll protect you and Videl with my life."
They didn't waste any more time with conversation and blasted towards the city as fast as they could. As they got within site of the city they began smiling in relief at the prospect of safety.
Then the unthinkable happened. An explosion occurred within the depths of the city, within the palace itself. The shield that surrounded the city flicked and vanished. The star ships above, taking the explosion as their cue, fired volley after volley of blasts and lasers at the city. Explosions occurred all over the city and screams of pain reached the ears of the four outside the city limits. The palace took the brunt of the assault and after several volleys the base cracked and shattered and the palace fell from the sky. It smashed into the circle below creating a massive crater and throwing a shockwave that leveled half the city. The spires and domes of the palace cracked and burst into flames as they fell. When the assault ebbed and stopped the only part of the city unaffected by the assault were the gates and walls. But the gates and walls were useless without the shield covering the city.
To the four people outside the city, it was like hell had opened its gates and unleashed its fury upon Vegeta. They saw their one and only bastion of hope crumble before them, and the main part of the saiyan army annihilated.
A scream erupted from Alysa as she saw her home destroyed and everyone she knew killed. "Why didn't we have warning? What happened to our planetary defenses and shields?" Alysa thought out loud.
Gohan stared at the city in horror, "No, NOO!!! This can't be happening. We have to hide, NOW! Everyone back to my place, we have to get away from the city. They're gonna be sending troops down to occupy it, and they will destroy any saiyan they find." Gohan said to his companions and headed towards the forest. "We'll go through the forest, that way they can't see us and will have to use scouters. It'll make it that much harder for them to find us."
Goten and Alysa didn't argue, they raced after Gohan and entered the woods seconds behind him. When they were all gathered they raced at breakneck speed through the forest heading away from the city.
Gohan took them a little southwest instead of south and stopped when they reached the glade he usually meditated at. He sat down and cursed, "Damn it, Damn it. I should have known something was wrong when we saw the guards gone and the lasers down at the gate. Damn it, they must have brought in saboteurs while the lasers where down and hid them in the city until our army had left. The palace was nearly empty with King Vegeta gone. He took almost everyone from there with him."
Goten looked up at his brother, tears beginning to form in his eyes, "Where's mommy and daddy? Why did those people do that to the city? They never did anything wrong." Goten remembered something, "Trunks and Bulma are still alive, I came home early cause Bulma took Trunks somewhere. Trunks didn't have any idea where, but Bulma said she was going to head off into the country not liking the Palace without Vegeta there." Goten said, brightening a little.
Gohan stared at Gohan and smiled, "Well, at least we know those two are alive. King Vegeta would tear everyone apart if anything happened to Bulma and Trunks." Gohan said.
Gohan let out his ki blanket, and hoped that no scouters had picked them up. When his blanket reached its maximum radius he let it fold around all the living creatures and gasped. The rebels were doing a systematic search of the area. Thousands of them searched in an ever widening circle from the capital as they looked for anything with a high enough power level to be detected by the scouters.
Gohan looked up and saw the others looking at him. "We have to get out of here now, they're searching the forest, and we'll be easy to be detected should we stay here." Gohan got up and picked Videl up again. "Let's go, we're heading south to the mountains. Maybe we can find a deep cave to hide until the main army gets back. I hate this, having to hide, but should we stay and fight, we will die, and it will be for nothing. If we wait for the army to get back we might be able to live and help take back the planet." Gohan said and blasted through the forest heading south again. Goten and Alysa didn't waste any time and followed as fast as they could.
A few minutes later Gohan left the forest and saw that he was really close to the mountains. Alysa and Goten emerged seconds later, struggling to keep up. As Gohan reached the canyon he gasped. In his haste to get to the mountains he forgot to keep his ki blanket extended. Goten and Alysa stopped just a short way behind him and Alysa's face went pale.
In front of Gohan, block his way to the mountains, was an army of saiyans spread out and using their scouters to pick up power levels. Damn, the saiyans landed in more spots then one. Damn it, we're screwed. Maybe if I distract them enough, Goten and Videl can escape. Gohan thought to himself, too angry at the rebels and too scared for Goten and Videl to care about his language.
The foremost saiyan looked up as his scouter bleeped and shouted to his companions. Gohan and his companions landed and waited for the worst.
"Videl, Gohan, when Alysa and I distract them I want you two to get out of here, escape." Gohan said to the two.
Goten looked up at his brother and shook his head, "No, I wanna fight to. I can help, I'm strong." Goten said, his voice quivering.
"No Goten, mother and father said for me to protect you, and I will be damned if I fail in that duty. I want you to take Videl and get out of here." Gohan said in a stern voice.
"You're not going anywhere rebels." A new voice said from above.
Everyone looked up and saw several hundred saiyans and allied aliens floating before them. Gohan turned to look behind him and saw that the other line of saiyans would meet up with them soon. Damn, if we don't beat these saiyans fast, we're going to be sandwiched between two armies. Gohan thought as fear and anger rose within him.
Just then Alysa screamed in rage, "IF I'M GOING DOWN, I'M TAKING YOU ALL TO HELL WITH ME!" and charged at the saiyans in front of her as she powered up to full an aura flaring around her.
Alysa flew up in front of the person nearest her, an enemy ally, and sent a blast through its head sending it to the ground. The rebels where taken aback at the attack, but only for a second before they attacked Alysa from all sides.
Goten powered up to full and joined the fray, kicking a saiyan off Alysa's back and sending a blast at it before turning around and slamming a fist into an aliens jaw, breaking it. Goten dodged a clumsy counter-attack and kicked the alien back into an on coming saiyan and didn't bother watching them tumble to the ground as he flew off and began pummeling another saiyan attacking Alysa.
Gohan seeing this didn't hesitate. He began powering up, his rage taking him to a new height. All the scouters began beeping widely as a bluish white aura flared huge around Gohan and his roar of anger echoed across the landed. The planet began shaking and wind whipped around his body in a frenzy. All combat stopped as they watched Gohan power up, amazed that anyone could hold that much power.
When Gohan finished powering up a cyan aura was flaring around him with a hint of yellow in it. Gohan looked up at the rebels and snarled, his face sending shivers down everyone's back. "You attack my planet, and hurt my friends, and you devastate our cities. YOU WILL PAY!" Gohan roared out and charged the saiyans. He flew full tilt into and through one causing her to explode and punch a hole through the chest of the saiyan behind him. The saiyans started to back away from Gohan, scared at raw power. The tables seemed to favor Gohan
Then the tables turned once again. The line of saiyans and aliens that Gohan and the rest had ran from, after they heard the scream of rage, had rushed to the battle. Gohan, Goten, Videl and Alysa were out numbered, 100 to 1.
The rebels rushed the four of them. Gohan fought with a rage he never knew he possessed and ripped through the saiyans and aliens alike. Tearing the head off one and throwing it at the next while he went after a third. A large group of rebels, seeing Videl as easy prey flew at her.
"MASENKO-HA!" Gohan fired his specialty weapon at a group of rebels that flew towards Videl sending them all into the ground with an explosion. Gohan turned only to get a fist in the face and a knee in the gut. The rebels had taken the time that it took for Gohan to save Videl to attack and, now that they were all over him, they weren't going to let him get his bearings straight.
Alysa kicked an alien in the head which caused its head to explode and fired a blast at an on coming saiyan and sent it flying back. Alysa got kicked in the back and was sent flying into the first of another saiyan only to be sent into a ki blast and sent flying into the ground creating a crater. A loud snap could be heard as her back broke on impact.
Goten flew back a little and began firing hundreds of ki blasts into a group of on coming saiyans causing many of them to fall from the sky. He dared into the cloud of smoke and began beating the saiyans around. Goten kicked a saiyan in the side and sent it into another, turned around and punched a third in the face and sent it to the ground with a ki blast. Goten turned to a forth and punched it through the stomach and back handed it away from him and gave a double kick to a fifth saiyan, sending it away.
Goten turned to Gohan and smiled, "Gohan, lookie me, I'm taking them o… OOF!" Goten was kicked from behind as he celebrated. The rebels, having witnessed the power of the small one, didn't play around with him. They sent blast after blast into Goten and smashed him into the ground. Goten let out a blood curdling scream as his body was destroyed around him but the saiyans didn't stop blasting until the scream stopped.
Gohan, when he heard his brother scream in pain, screamed in rage. His power level doubled when the scream stopped, followed by an even more horrible silence. The blue aura around him turned a vibrant yellow and his eyes took on a look that literally fried the saiyans around him where they hovered. Gohan screamed out his brother's name and started taking the saiyans around him apart, piece by piece.
Videl knew she was in trouble. She didn't stand a chance against these saiyans that could fly and fire ki blasts. Videl crouched into a fighting stance that Gohan taught her and prepared herself for the worst. The saiyans and aliens came at her from all sides and all at once. Videl fought back as hard as she could. She punched one alien in the face, crushing its jaw and breaking its nose and kicked a saiyan that came at her from the side. As Videl turned to face another a punch smashed into her stomach. Videl doubled over in pain, not having any body armor to protect her. A fist slammed into her back and a kick hit her in the face sending her flying. A couple saiyans fired blasts at her and sent her flying into another saiyan who punched a hole through the back and tore her spine out. Videl let out a scream of agony as she fell limply to the ground.
Gohan, seeing Videl fall, didn't think of combat anymore. He flew as fast as he could and caught Videl before she slammed into the ground. He looked at the wound in the back and tears began to form in his eyes. "God no Videl, not you too, don't leave me." Gohan turned Videl over and stared into her eyes.
"Go… Gohan… I'm sorry… I… love you…" Videl's eyes glazed over and Gohan stared in horror as life left her.
"Ooohh… look at that, a saiyan fell for a human… AHAHAH!! Look what I have?" The saiyan that tore the spine out tossed it to Gohan. "She wasn't much of a fighter, and now she's dead." The saiyan laughed cruelly, enjoying every second of this moment.
Gohan stared at the spine that landed on Videl's stomach. He slowly knelt down and laid her out on the ground brushing the spine away. Videl… why… why didn't you run, why did you have to leave me… WHY! The pain inside Gohan grew unbearable. Pain, anger and fear rolled through him unchecked, making him feel as if his body was on fire.
"WWHHYY!!" Gohan roared as his back arched and he let loose.
-------------------------------
On a star shifter a day away from planet Vegeta…
Kakkarot looked up from his seat on the star shifter startled. "Oh no, something's wrong with Gohan."
King Vegeta looked up at Kakkarot, "What do you mean? Is he dead?" Vegeta asked.
Kakkarot looked over at his king, "No, he's not dead, but he's in pain, unbearable pain. I can feel his emotions sometimes… when I'm near, and when they're strong. But for me to feel them this far away…" Kakkarot shuddered and looked away.
To be continued…
Oooo… I can just see the flames flying now, hehe. Goten dead, Videl dead, damn I'm gonna be getting my head chewed off for this :) You all know what's happening to him. Hehe, stupid rebels. Never make Gohan mad :)
So how is the chapter? See why I had to develop the relationship between Videl and Gohan so fast? People generally don't fall in love within and are ready to mate/get married within 3 weeks. I had to though, Goten brought Gohan to the edge and Videl pushed him over it.
What a cliff hanger eh? :) Hehe, I'll try to get the next chapter out fast, I seem to be doing one a day. Odd, I wanted to do em 1 every 2 days, oh well, guess I like writing this story
