This is an AU about the world martial arts tournament. It's a Gohan and Videl fic, so those who for some twisted reason don't like those, just click on that little button labeled "back". In this version, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks are the only ones who have entered the tournament. Goku is not coming back, and Vegeta and the rest of the gang are not entering either. Some are spectators in the stands, like Yamcha was. Also, Gohan felt that Videl was getting too close to finding out he was Saiyaman, so he had Saiyaman disappear. It's explained earlier in the fic.

100 reviews! Yes! Thank you! ::Does dance even Saiyaman would find embarrassing:: Now let's turn up the heat…

Tournament Troubles

*Before the fight*

"Trunks! I've got a little problem down here!" Goten and Trunks, in costume as Mighty Mask, wait in the waiting area, in the back so not to draw attention. They were passing time watching the fights and watching Gohan talk to that girl.

"Goten! Shhh! Keep quiet or else they're going to know what were doing!"

"Oh…but, I really got to go, Trunks!"

"……Goten, you should have went to the bathroom before we put this costume on! We're going to miss that scary guy's match!"

"But it's going to come out! I can't hold it in!"

"Oh, alright, let's find a bathroom."

*Later*

Trunks stands outside of a bathroom stall in the bathroom, the costume laying down on the floor next to him. "Goten! What's taking so long? We're going to miss the fighting!"

Goten's voice is heard thourgh the closed door of a public bathroom stall. "Trunks, I'm going as fast as I can!"

"Alright, alright, just hurry up!………Hey, who was that girl that Gohan was talking to earlier?"

"I don't know. I think her name was Videl. Krillin said she was a girlfriend."

"Gohan's girlfriend? Ohhhh……I didn't know your brother had a girlfriend!"

"Trunks?"

"Yeah?"

"What's a girlfriend?" Trunks falls down.

"Goten, a girlfriend is a girl that a boy real likes, and goes out with to the movies and stuff, and eventually marries if they really like each other."

"Ohhh…so Gohan's going to marry Videl? Does that mean I'll get a new big sister?"

Trunks sighs. "They MIGHT get married, Goten."

"Oh, okay."

A few minutes passed. Trunks was growing even more impatient. "Goten! How much longer are you going to take?" A flush answered him and Goten stepped out of the stall.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake and the lights flickered. Dust from the ceiling floated down, shaken loose. Goten and Trunks had to brace themselves to keep from falling over.

Goten looked at his friend. "Trunks! What's going on?"

"I don't know! Let's go check it out!" They both ran out, the Mighty Mask costume laying forgotten.

They ran down the hall towards the waiting room. Turning a corner, they run into what's left of the waiting area. Rubble and fire is the only thing left of it. Trunks stops dead, but Goten doesn't. Goten smacked right into him, sending the two sprawling forward.

"Trunks! Why did you stop?" Goten got back up, holding a bump on his head.

"Look at this place. Someone's really having a good fight! Goten, do you sense that energy? It's enormous!"

Goten nods. "Yeah, it's big brother!"

"Yeah, but who is that other power? And why is the sky so dark? And there is so much smoke!"

"Yeah, it really scary! Like a horror movie!"

"It feels so scary…so it probably means more fun!"

"Yeah, let's go!" The two run out into the rubble and come across the ring. Except for a huge crater in it, the ring is otherwise intact. However, the same could not be said for the rest of the stadium. The stands have almost been completely leveled by Omega's blasts. Much of the city behind the stadium is an inferno.

"Trunks, up there!" Trunks looks up to see a Super Saiyan Gohan floating in the air, along with a transformed Omega. "Who is that up there with brother?"

"I think its that scary guy, but he looks a lot different than before. What's he doing?"

Goten watches as Omega rises into the air, then fires a blast. In horror, Goten sees the blast pierce through that girl Videl.

~0~

Gohan couldn't see anything else except for Videl as the energy pierced through her body. He couldn't see the ground, the fire, the rubble, or Omega. All he could see was Videl as she stood there for an instant, than slowly fell backwards to the ground.

Time seemed to almost stop, or at least moving so slowly to torture Gohan with this horrible event. A second seemed to last an eternity as Videl's body fell. Blood flowed out like a river at the small coin-sized hole in her chest. Her eyes looked afraid, but slowly turned lifeless. Then she hit the ground.

She wasn't moving at all.

When she hit the ground, his ears allowed Gohan to hear the evil laughter; the laughter that came from Omega. He slowly turned back to Omega, his rage building.

Gohan's teeth clenched. His fist tightened. Veins in his arms and forehead throbbed. "YOU…AN…I…MAL!"

Gohan exploded with power; his energy field around him expanding to several times the area it was before and lightning reached out from his body, striking the ground below him and reaching out towards the sky.

Gohan suddenly charged forward, faster than anyone else can even detect, and plants a hard kick right onto Omega's head, snapping it back. Then Gohan goes low, treating the stomach of the giant as if it were a punching bag, delivering several hard punches to it before giving Omega a hard uppercut to his jaw.

As Omega floated back from the blow, Gohan charged forward again, landing another kick to Omega's stomach. Omega flew back from the force of the blow. Gohan charged an energy ball in his right hand, and sent it flying. Omega barely saw it coming in time to block it, covering his body in smoke. He looked up just in time to see Gohan charging forward, throwing another energy ball into Omega's face at point blank range.

The blast sent Omega flipping end over end backwards, until he hit the ground hard a few hundred feet from the ring.

Gohan saw this and exploded with his rage again, his energy bathing the entire island in a gold light. He fired dozens and dozens of energy blasts onto Omega, covering the area around Omega in a glowing dome of energy. Finally, Gohan backed off, but he was far from done.

Cupping his hands in the traditional style of the Kamehame, Gohan gathered all of his energy for a single attack. An energy ball formed in his hands, and slowly grew to the size of a beach ball. Golden light flashed around Gohan and reflected across the island as his power grew more and more focused into the blast. Columns of light shot out of the energy ball focused in his hands, spreading up into the sky and out past the island, seemingly going forever.

"KA…ME…HA…ME…HAAAAA!" Gohan let loose the blast right into the still glowing energy dome. The blast fed the dome's energy, and it spread to several times its diameter.

As the energy dome made from the blasts eventually faded, and as it cleared effects of the blast could be seen. The dome had created a huge crater that was at least two hundred feet in diameter, all of blackened earth. The blast had let loose a horrible shockwave, smothering the fires from the blasts, yet still small columns of smoke rose into the air. The clouds began to part, allowing a little sunshine though.

There was nothing left of Omega. He had been completely incinerated.

Gohan floated in midair, his hands still thrust forward from releasing the blast. But his head hung on his shoulders, which were shaking. His eyes were shut, trying to stop what was coming but it was no use. The tears ran down his checks. "…V…Videl…"

"Brother!" Goten's yell made Gohan's head snap up, and he looked back towards what was left of the stadium. "Brother, come here, quick!"

Gohan flew back towards the ring. There he saw his brother and Trunks leaning over Videl's body, checking it out. Then came the best thing he heard.

"She's still breathing!"

Gohan landed fast and hard to get down to Videl as quick as he could. "Are you sure, you two?"

Trunks nodded. "Yes, but she's in real bad shape. She might not make it!"

"Do you two have any Senzu beans?" Both of the kids shook their heads no. Without senzu beans, there was no way to heal Videl here.

"Alright, you two, I'm going to have to take her to Dende. You guys try to find Krillin, Yamcha, and the others." The two boys nodded as Gohan picked up Videl.

Gohan leaped into the air, then, took off at top speed, the force of his takeoff throwing the two boys backwards head over heels. Gohan remained a Super Saiyan to move at top speed, using his energy to create a wind shield to keep the wind off of Videl. He held her close.

Videl's wound still bled profusely, covering his shirt in her blood. Gohan could barely sense her energy, and it was growing weaker by the second.

She didn't have much time left.

Gohan made the journey to the base of the tower in record time. He shot upwards, top speed. He didn't have a second to lose. He sped past Korin's place. Unfortunately for the cat-like god, he was standing next to the side of the tower. As Gohan flew past him, he was blown back. Gohan thought he heard Korin yelling something about no fly zones as he sped past, but he had more important things on his mind.

Gohan zoomed over the lip of the lookout, landing on the floor of the Lookout. He could see Dende running out to meet him.

"Gohan! I sensed your battle, there's no need to explain. Who's this?" Dende said, pointing to Videl.

"Dende, she's a good friend of mine. She's hurt pretty bad, could you please heal her? Please, Dende, I can't stand to lose her…"

"Yes, of course, please lay her down her." Gohan did as he was told, and Dende put his hands over her, his energy spreading through her body and gave a glow.

~0~0~0~

Another cliffy, I know, but not as evil as the last one. I must be losing my touch.

Response to reviews:

xT-Zealot – I know, but those Metal Coolers were not the real Coolers, and Goku and Vegeta were nowhere near as strong as Gohan is right now. Plus, he could regenerate, making it a lot harder to beat. Also, more people would be familiar with Move 5 since it just came out in English, so I'm trying to not make too much reference to Movie 6.

CustomMagnum – Gohan's strong, but nowhere near strong enough to go SSJ3, even if he is super angry. No, he's strong enough right now as is.

gerrys giant green grassmonkey – Never underestimate how evil I can be. Bwahahaha!

Sorceress Fujin – YES! YES! YES!

vsd2oc – That's one BAD joke.

Bcat – Love them all.

Karisah – Couldn't get him to time travel, so I just sent him to the next dimension. By the way, what is up with the chocolate licorice?

Evil Shadow – Sorry, but if he died nice and slow like I wanted, then there would be no way Videl would have lived.
