Chapter 10: The Beginning of the End
Gohan woke up to find Videl still in his arms. He smiled down at her and rubbed his hands across her back. He looked up and out the single window in the room and saw that it was morning, their bondage the day before had left them both exhausted. Gohan looked back down at Videl and gently shook her.
"Wake up sleepy head it's morning." Gohan whispered to her, "I'll help you make breakfast."
Videl groaned and slowly opened her eyes. She stared into Gohan's face and smiled at him. Oh Gohan… I haven't felt this safe and secure since… ever. She sent to him through their bond. Gohan smiled and kissed her.
Gohan unwrapped his arms from around Videl, which caused Videl to sigh, and slowly got up out of bed. Videl stretched back for a moment and followed suit. As Videl got up her nose wrinkled. I think we need to shower first, Gohan, we made quite a mess last night. Videl said telepathically. Gohan nodded, scooped Videl up, and bolted for the bathroom.
Once in the bathroom Gohan closed the door and set Videl back on her own feet. Videl hugged Gohan and gave him a little kiss before she headed towards the shower to wash. Gohan started to follow but Videl just shook her head. I need to get cleaned up, not create a bigger mess, Videl thought to Gohan. Gohan sat back and pouted a bit but complied with Videl's wish.
Videl took her time in the shower as she exaggerated every movement. She enjoyed the feel of Gohan's eyes on her body and wanted the sensation to last as long as possible. Thirty minutes later she turned the shower off and stepped out. She smiled at Gohan as she grabbed a towel and waved him towards the shower.
"Your turn, now I get to gaze at you while you shower." She said with a smile on her face.
Gohan grinned and walked into the shower and began to wash himself. He owed Videl at least a little bit of a show copied what Videl had done just before, only he exaggerated his more pronounced body parts to an extreme. Videl bit her lip and was barely able to restrain herself while Gohan showered. Gohan turned the water off and ki dried himself as he walked over to Videl.
"Enjoying our self are we?" Gohan said teasingly and kissed Videl.
Videl nodded as she leaned into the kiss and embraced Gohan as the towel dropped to the floor. Gohan energized his hands with ki and began to rub them across Videl's body drying her off in the process. Videl moaned and broke away. We should get dressed and head down. The others might be wondering what we are doing in here for so long. She thought. Gohan nodded and the two of them got dressed before they headed downstairs.
When they entered the living room they saw Kakkarot leaned back in one of the chairs as he held his stomach and moaned. Gurgling sounds emanated from that portion of the room and revealed the cause of Kakkarot's pain. Before they were even half-way across the room Goten bounded across the room and attached himself to Gohan's leg.
"What were you two doing in Videl's room last night? And what were all those funny noises coming from inside?" Goten asked innocently.
Videl and Gohan both blushed bright red, "Uhh, we were playing a game squirt. That's all" Gohan said.
"Really?! Can I play too? What kind of game was it? I've only heard those sounds coming from mommy and daddy's room before." Goten asked and began to hop around Gohan.
Videl blushed even brighter and said, "I'm sorry Goten, it's a two person game only. I designed this one just for Gohan and myself." She said and patted Goten on the head as he began to pout. "If you want we'll play a different game later. Now I need to get into the kitchen and start breakfast before your father's stomach decides to eat him." A loud roar followed by some rumbles and more gurgling sounds floated up from where Kakkarot sat.
Goten brightened immediately and began to bubble excitedly at the thought of food and a game. Videl and Gohan walked into the kitchen and began to prepare breakfast. A thought occurred to Videl as they began.
"Hey Gohan, since I'm a saiyan, does that mean I'm going to eat like one?" Videl asked and looked at Gohan.
Gohan shrugged, "I don't know, you might as well make enough for four saiyans. If you don't eat your share, I'm sure my father would love to have the rest of it." Gohan said.
Videl nodded and the two of them went back to the preparation of breakfast. Breakfast went off without a hitch and Videl found out she now had the appetite of a saiyan. She even managed to out eat Kakkarot, much to the surprise of everyone. When breakfast had ended the four of them walked back into the living room and sat down to digest their food. Gohan and Videl sat beside each other on the couch with their tails wrapped around each other while Kakkarot sat in a chair and Goten bounced around him.
Just then the door burst open and Vegeta walked in, followed by Landyn and Bardock. He ignored Kakkarot and Goten and approached Gohan. When he stopped in front of Gohan he looked at the two of them. He noticed the bite mark on Videl's shoulder and the way their tails were wrapped around each other and smirked.
"Got yourself a mate now Gohan?" Vegeta said, the smirk still on his face, "She sure is a beauty, and I can see why you wanted to turn her into a saiyan. If my guess is correct, she is also probably pregnant."
Videl's eyes widened and she brought her hands to her stomach. "I-I'm pregnant?" she asked in a hushed tone.
Vegeta nodded and smirked, "Just ask Kakkarot, to form a bond you both have to want each other more then anything, and that occurs at the peak when you share fluids." Vegeta said, "If the bond is successful, the female becomes pregnant, if it's not, the female doesn't become pregnant and the two can't stand each other anymore."
Gohan and Videl looked at each other and shared the same thought before they brought their eyes back to Vegeta before he continued, "I guessed she was pregnant from the fact she has your bite mark on her shoulder and the way you two still have your tails wrapped around one another." Vegeta surmised, "But that's not the reason I came here. Since we couldn't spar on the star ship, we're going to spar here. This planet should be able to hold us, Namek held pretty well under you and Frieza even though the battle didn't last very long. Now get your butt outside and let's get started." Vegeta said before he turned and walked out the door.
Gohan turned to Videl, "I guess I better go, Vegeta isn't the kind of guy you keep waiting." Gohan said before he unwrapped his tail from Videl's waist and headed out the door.
"You be careful Gohan!" Videl shouted at Gohan just as he left the house. He turned and waved back at Videl before he took off after Vegeta.
Videl turned to Goten and smiled, "Well Goten, I guess we can go play now." Videl said to Goten
A loud cheer went up from Goten as he scampered out the door with Videl close behind.
-------------------------
In a dessert, far from any cities…
Vegeta and Gohan stood on the ground a little ways from each other while Bardock and Landyn floated in high the air above. The area around them was ideal for a spar being just simply a large dessert.
"You better be prepared Gohan, I'm going to go all out on you." Vegeta said as a smirk crept across his face.
Gohan just shook his head and powered up to super saiyan, his energy whipped around him creating a miniature sand storm. Vegeta smirked even wider and powered up as well and turned the small miniature sand storm into a massive one.
All of a sudden a crash was heard and a shockwave rolled out from the center of the storm as Gohan and Vegeta met head on. Gohan and Vegeta traded blows fast and furious and sent multiple shockwaves into the surrounding desert. Landyn and Bardock were forced to back further away from the fight as it increased in intensity.
Gohan aimed a punch at Vegeta's face which was knocked aside and returned with a punch to the gut. Gohan dodged out of the way and kicked at Vegeta's side which was also dodged. As Vegeta dodged Gohan's kick he grabbed the leg and prepared to throw Gohan into the ground only to get a fist from him in the face. Vegeta rocked backwards and swept his legs low sweeping Gohan's legs out from under him. Gohan put one hand under him and kicked out with both his feet and hit Vegeta in the side of the face.
Vegeta flew backwards and fired a blast at Gohan. Gohan cut the blast in half, which sent both halves careening to either side of him, and charged at Vegeta. Vegeta flew forward to meet him and threw a flurry of bunches as he got in range. Gohan dodged and blocked all the attacks and returned with a flurry of his own punches at Vegeta's face, chest and neck. Vegeta upped his speed with his ki and zipped behind Gohan before he sent him into the ground with a double overhand slam.
Gohan slammed into the ground and began to burrow underground. He knew Vegeta couldn't sense him, and used that to his advantage. Gohan positioned himself under Vegeta and blasted his energy above and below him, creating a pillar of golden energy. The energy ripped through the ground, engulfed Vegeta and sent him flying into the air. Gohan blasted up through the newly created hole in the ground and chased up after Vegeta as the ground where he used to be collapsed in on itself with a boom. Before Vegeta could get his figure out where he was Gohan slammed his head into Vegeta's stomach and cracked his armor. Gohan zipped up around behind Vegeta and kicked him back down towards the ground.
As Vegeta neared the ground he turned and stopped himself just short of the ground. Vegeta grinned and began to gather his energy around him. Gohan stared down at Vegeta and sensed that massive amounts of ki were being poured into the blast. The yellow aura around Vegeta began to crackle and hum as it grew and condensed within the cup of his hands.
Gohan didn't waste any more time. He raised his hands above his head and began to gather the energy required to overcome Vegeta's energy wave. Before Gohan had time to finish a short from below caught his attention.
Vegeta looked up and Gohan and his grin grew, "FINAL FLASH!" he roared and sent his energy wave towards Gohan.
Gohan's eyes widened at the size of the blast and yelled, "MASENKO-HA!" and sent his own energy wave down towards Vegeta.
The two energy waves collided midway between the two combatants and generated a massive shockwave from the epicenter. Vegeta snarled and poured more energy into his beam and began to overpower Gohan. Gohan began to concentrate and poured more energy into his own wave to even it out as he powered up to his next form. Gohan's hair grew longer and his muscles bulked up as wind began to whip around him once more. He concentrated all his energy through one arm and freed the other up.
Gohan remembered what Bardock had done to him, and planned on doing the same. Vegeta saw none of this, his view of Gohan blocked by the huge ball of energy at the meeting point of the two waves. Gohan formed a ki ball in his left hand and focused on Vegeta's ki, his own view of Vegeta blocked as well. When Gohan fired his blast at Vegeta, he didn't send one like Bardock, he sent many.
Vegeta didn't see the blasts until it was too late. They hammered into his right side and destroyed the armor on his side before they continued through to hit his skin. Vegeta roared and took his attention off the duel for a second as he tried to combat the blasts that came at him from the side, which was all Gohan needed. Gohan felt Vegeta's energy wave weaken slightly as his attention was pulled away from it and brought both hands into it and poured all the energy he could into it. Gohan's energy wave quickly overwhelmed Vegeta's and slammed into him. Vegeta screamed in pain, passed out and fell from his super saiyan state. Gohan stopped his beam before it could kill Vegeta and flew down to him.
Landyn and Bardock, once they saw the spar was over, flew down to check up on their king. Vegeta lay on the ground; his breathe shallow with cuts and bruises all over his body.
Gohan fell out of super saiyan and put his hand behind his head and grinned, "Hehe, I think I over did it a little. I think he'll recover even without a regeneration tank, but I think we should get him to the nearest one anyways." Gohan said.
Landyn nodded once before he picked Vegeta up and flew away towards the nearest hospital. Bardock approached Gohan, a grin plastered across his face. "You sure learn from your lessons don't you Gohan?" Bardock inquired and continued before Gohan could speak, "You used the same trick on him that I used to win over your father, slightly modified of course, but the basics were the same." Bardock said. "I'm proud of you. If Vegeta's ego ever heals, he'll probably admit you into the royal elite guard. Having someone with your strength in the guard will make Vegeta almost invulnerable. Especially with him as a super saiyan himself." Bardock said and began to hover, "Now, let's head to your place. I'm hungry."
Gohan nodded and the two of them blasted off towards Gohan's house. On the way home Gohan turned and looked at Bardock, "Do you know what Vegeta plans to do?" Gohan asked and Bardock looked at him curiously, "About the war I mean. Does he have any plans for King Thraknor and the rebels?" Gohan finished.
Bardock turned and looked forward, "Not currently no. He's more concerned with rebuilding his base of power. I think between you and him, we don't really need to send anyone else to planet Thraknor. You two could probably decimate the entire planet yourselves. But I think Vegeta has a few plans thought out. I think he intends to make sure no one ever rebels against him again, and to that extent, plans on conquering all of their outposts and allies first before attacking their home planet. Once it's just the home planet, I think he intends to destroy it himself and not bother to send anyone down to clean up first." Bardock said and the rest of the flight home continued on in silence.
When Gohan and Bardock reached the house they found Videl and Goten in the middle of a spar. When Videl saw Gohan land she ended the spar and rushed over towards him.
"I'm glad to see you're alright Gohan." Videl said before she kissed him and wrapped her tail around his waist, "How did your fight with Vegeta go?" Videl said once she broke the kiss.
Gohan smiled down at Videl, "I beat Vegeta, he's a lot weaker then me, but I had more incentive when I first went super so my power stopped growing at a much higher level then his." Gohan said and embraced Videl. "I see you've been sparing with Goten while I was gone, how was it going?" Gohan asked.
Videl looked back at Goten, "He's very strong for a little guy; stronger then me." She turned back to Gohan and grinned at him, "But I'm sure you'll be more then willing to make me stronger." She said and kissed him again.
Gohan only grinned and walked into the house with his arm around Videl. The two of them sat down on the couch and relaxed against each other. Videl sighed and looked up, "I wish this war was over, so we could live our lives without having to worry about aliens or other saiyans trying to kill us." Videl said, a wistful tone in her voice, and looked down at her stomach, "I don't want to bring my child up in a time of war."
Gohan wrapped his tail around her waist and kissed her gently, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you or our child, and this time, I will keep that promise." He whispered, "I'll start training you again after lunch, how does that sound? You're also at the point where I can teach you about ki."
Videl looked up at Gohan and smiled before she nestled her head against his chest. Gohan wrapped his arms around her and smiled down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that day…
"You're doing fine Videl, keep it up, and you'll be flying high in no time." Gohan said as he watched Videl hover above the ground.
"Would you keep it down? This is hard to get the hang of." Videl said and dropped to the ground exhausted.
Gohan walked over to her and sat down beside her. "You're doing great Videl. If you keep going at this rate you'll be flying high in a couple days. You've already learned to use your ki and can form small ki blasts." Gohan said and rubbed Videl's back, "With me training, I'll make you the strongest female on the planet."
Videl leaned back against Gohan and smiled. Suddenly overhead shadows appeared as the star ships that Vegeta had ordered home from Ixiotchil entered the atmosphere and began their descent to their landing pads. Kakkarot walked out from the house and smiled up at the star ships and Goten ran out after him.
Kakkarot looked over at Videl and Gohan, "Let's go meet you mother Gohan, she'll be upset if we aren't there to greet her." Kakkarot said and flew off towards the ship with his mate on it. With a shout of joy Goten flew off after his father. Gohan turned and looked back at Videl before he picked her up and flew off to catch up with his father.
Not that I mind Gohan, but I thought you said it was degrading for a saiyan to carry someone, Videl thought.
Gohan smiled down at Videl, rank doesn't matter to me anymore, you're more important. Besides, you're a saiyan, its not like you're a slave anymore. There is also the matter that, besides Vegeta, no one would say anything to be because I'm a super saiyan. If I want to carry you, who are they to try and stop me? Gohan thought back to Videl.
Videl smiled up at Gohan and snuggled against him. Gohan and Videl soon reached the area where the star ships were landing and followed Kakkarot to the ship where Gohan's mother was. The door to that star ship opened and saiyans poured out from it. Chichi flew out a minute after the door had opened and flew over to where Kakkarot, Goten, Gohan and Videl were waiting.
Some saiyans frowned at Gohan and Videl but few dared to approach, those that tried were counseled against it by the saiyans who knew about Gohan's ascension.
Chichi flew into Kakkarot's arms and hugged him fiercely, "What happened here Kakkarot? The city looks like it was destroyed and the planet devastated." Chichi said and looks over at Gohan and Goten, "At least my babies are ok." Chichi said happily.
Kakkarot smiled down at Chichi and responded, "They attacked while we were gone. Gohan went super saiyan and either killed or sent running home all of the rebels."
Chichi looked over at Gohan, eyes wide. "My little boy ascended? Oh my goodness, you must be the strongest person alive." Chichi said to Gohan, and then noticed something, Videl's tail wrapped around Gohan's waist. "VIDEL! You have a tail, how did that happen?" Chichi asked, shocked.
Gohan gave a little laugh, "Ahh, we went to Namek while you were coming home and I killed Frieza there. There were also these dragon balls that I used to bring Videl and Goten back from the dead…" Gohan never got to finish.
"WHAT!" A screech pierced the air and every saiyan in the area held their ears and quickly fled the area. "YOU LET MY LITTLE BABY BOY DIE! HOW COULD YOU!" Chichi screeched at Kakkarot and Gohan.
Goten looked around confusedly, "Mommy, I'm right here, I'm not dead. What are you talking about?" Goten asked.
Chichi flew over to Goten and pulled him into a hug, "My baby boy, don't you worry, everything is going to be fine." Chichi said while Goten just floated there confused. Chichi turned to the other two guys, "You two are in BIG trouble, wait until we get home." Chichi said, her voice ominous. Gohan and Kakkarot shuddered and cringed back while Videl just laughed and Goten, still confused, scratched his head.
"Well, we should head home guys, it's getting late." Kakkarot said before he blasted off towards the house. "HEY GET BACK HERE KAKKAROT!" Chichi yelled and flew off after him. Gohan flew back slowly with Videl in his arms and Goten flew around Gohan as he chattered.
That night, yells of pain and massive WHOMPS could be heard for miles as Chichi vented her anger on Gohan and Kakkarot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 days later in the throne room on planet Thraknor…
"… And that about wraps up my report. We lost 45% of our saiyan forces and 67% of or allied forces. We lost half of our star ships, and with the arrival of the super saiyan, we don't stand much chance against the rebels." The saiyan general said, "Our only chance of stopping them if they attack is to destroy the super saiyan with our ion cannons before he enters the atmosphere. Should he land, we won't have enough fire power to stop him." The general finished and wiped some sweat off his face. King Thraknor's face was set in a frown, and when he frowned, saiyans died.
Just then a guard ran up to the throne and kneeled in front of king Thraknor. "My king, I have important news, king Cold and Cooler have just arrived. They should be here any sec…" The guard didn't finish as a loud bang resounded throughout the throne room and king Cold walked up to Thraknor with Cooler at his side.
Cooler glanced at the guard in front of the throne for a second before he incinerated him. King Cold crossed his arms across his chest and addressed Thraknor. "You will take your men, all of them, and all of your allies and you will attack planet Vegeta as soon as possible. I do NOT like having super saiyans running around, and I will not tolerate them any longer." Cold said in an angry voice. "My son and I are accompanying you there. We should be able to handle one super saiyan by ourselves. He will pay for making a mockery of my family. I want you to prevent the rest of the saiyans from interfering. They are not much by themselves, but there are far too many for my liking. You and your allies will destroy the saiyans while my son and I take out this… super saiyan. I expect you to be mobilized within a day, or your planet may have an… unfortunate accident." With that said king Cold turned and walked out of the throne room, Cooler just behind him, and left a scared saiyan king behind.
---------------------------
On planet Vegeta at the same time…
Gohan hovered high into the air and watched as Videl zipped across the sky as she quickly began to master the basics of flying. "Wow, you're doing great Videl. I still can't believe you've managed to fly this well after only three days of practice." Gohan yelled towards Videl.
Videl stopped zipping around and flew over to hover in front of Gohan, a large smile on her face. "Thanks Gohan. When are we going to start sparing? I'm getting the hang of this and can probably finish on my own. I want to get stronger, so I'm not a burden to you." Videl said.
Gohan smiled, "We can start now if you like. Just tell me if you want me to push you harder or not. I pushed Goten really hard, pushing him to the limits of his endurance and beyond. He was tired, exhausted, and constantly sore, but he got stronger real quick." Gohan told Videl. "So, I'll start off at a slow pace and if you want me to pick it up I will."
Videl nodded and landed in the clearing where their house was and Gohan quickly followed suit. As soon as they landed Videl launched herself at Gohan and aimed a kick at his side. Gohan grabbed the leg and flipped Videl over his head. Videl stopped herself before she landed and flew at Gohan. Just as she got close she fired a blast into his face and jumped back. Gohan caught the blast in his hand and sent it back at Videl to fast for her to see. The blast hit Videl and knocked her onto her back.
Videl climbed to her feet and growled. Videl flew at Gohan again and aimed another kick at his side which he grabbed and used to throw her across the lawn. Videl slammed into a tree, which she picked up and threw at Gohan before chasing after it. Gohan knocked the tree sky high before receiving a punch in the face that whipped his face back.
Gohan looked back at Videl, surprise on his face, only to get a kick in the side. Gohan stopped himself before he stumbled and grabbed Videl by her armor and threw her across the lawn into another tree.
"You're using your legs to much Videl. You have to balance out. You should only kick someone when you are surprising them or if you are sure that it will get through their defense and do some damage. Otherwise it just leaves you open. The kick, while more powerful, is much slower then the punch." Gohan instructed Videl. "The tree/punch combo was nice, but you should be wary of kicking too much." He said as he rubbed his jaw.
Videl nodded and flew at Gohan again, this time she aimed a punch at Gohan's face which he blocked and she followed up with a punch to the gut. Gohan caught the fist threw Videl across the lawn once more.
"Would you stop playing with me and fight me seriously?" Videl demanded as she walked towards Gohan.
Gohan only shook his head, "I can't, I would like to comply with your wishes but… I have the child to think of. I don't want to hurt you too badly." Gohan said. "I'm just going to stay on the defensive and give you pointers on your offensive. Sometimes the best defense is offense so this exercise can serve both purposes."
Videl sighed, knowing that Gohan was right. Before they could continue the training two small rumbles shook the lawn. Gohan and Videl looked down at their stomachs and smiled.
"I think we should see if Chichi has supper almost ready, she won't let me help her cook when she found out I was pregnant." Videl said with a shake of her head, "She doesn't want me to strain myself. We don't even know if I'm pregnant yet, all we have is Vegeta's word on it, although your parents both agree with him for some reason. Even if I was, I'm still only in the first stage of my pregnancy. I can still handle stuff like cooking." Videl finished and walked inside with Gohan beside her.
The two of them walked over and sat down beside each other on the couch, their tails around one another's waist. Videl leaned her head against Gohan's shoulder and sighed in contentment. Chichi stuck her head around the corner of the door at the sound of the sigh and smiled at the sight of Videl and Gohan together. I can't believe it, grandchildren already and they look so cute together, Chichi thought, hearts danced above her head.
A few minutes later Goten bounded into the room and hopped into Gohan's lap, "YAY! I have a new sister." Goten said excitedly, and beamed at Videl. Videl looked down at Goten and smiled back. Gohan ruffled Goten's hair before he set him back on the floor with a little smile.
A loud roar shook the house and announced Kakkarot's arrival. "Chichi, when's the food going to be ready? I'm starving!" Kakkarot yelled.
"You're always hungry Kakkarot, and supper will be ready in a little while." Chichi replied as she stuck her head around the door again.
Gohan looked up at the door as Bardock landed on the lawn and walked in. "You have any idea how much harder it is to contact you two about developments on the war when you two don't wear scouters anymore?" Bardock told Gohan and Kakkarot. "Not many people know about this yet, king Vegeta doesn't want to start a panic just yet, and it's not going to become public knowledge until he knows what exactly occurred." Bardock paused for a second, "King Cold and Cooler, Frieza's father and brother, were seen entering and leaving planet Thraknor. They are planning something, and Vegeta wanted you two to be ready for it, whatever it is." Bardock said before he left.
Gohan and Videl looked at each other, concern written all over their faces while Kakkarot stared into the floor, deep in thought. Gohan's face became grave and serious. Don't worry love. I won't let ANYONE harm you or our child. I will die before either of you are harmed. Gohan thought, his face set in a look of a determination.
You better not die on me Gohan; I do not wish to bring my child up without a father Videl thought before she embraced Gohan and buried her face into his chest. They both had a feeling Gohan was the reason for Cold's and Cooler's involvement in the war.
Supper that night was somber, as four of the five saiyans thought of the horrible things that might occur before the war was over.
To be continued…
So, you like this chapter?
Well, another chapter got done, sorry it took so long, but I've been busy preparing for my trip :) It's like a family gathering… well actually it IS a family gathering at a cottage location. Which means no computer, no TV, no consoles, just the great out door and electric appliances. This'll be the last chapter I post before I go on my trip. There are 2 more chapters left and it would suck MAJORLY to be stuck in the middle of it for a week. So, I'm going to wait until AFTER I'm back before I post again. Hope this tides you over until then.
