Chapter 16
"Sir there's a unidentified pod heading towards the planet's atmosphere." said a pod flight controller.
"Can you establish contact with it?" Kakkarott asked.
"I'll try sir."
The saiyan was able to make contact with the fast approaching pod. "This is General Kakkarott of the Elite Saiyan Armed Forces. Your pod is in unauthorized flying space."
"Dad, is that you?" Gohan asked.
"Go-Gohan, is that really you?" Kakkarott asked in disbelief.
"Dad, it's me, it's good to here your voice again." Gohan said.
"Yours too." Kakkarott replied.
Just then contact was lost between the two saiyans because of the space pod coming into contact with the planet's atmosphere. "I want a medic to be prepared when that pod lands." Kakkarott ordered.
"Yes sir."
At the Crash Site
Videl slowly got out of the pod tat Gohan and she had been cramped into. Videl stretched and then helped her mate out. Gohan stretched as well. "Wow, we're finally home. I never thought I'd see it again." Gohan said as he held Videl close, thankful for everything turning out all right.
Gohan and Videl walked from the crashed pod. They had not gotten two meters from it however when they both heard a very familiar voice. "Hey you two." Kakkarott said as he and what Gohan thought was a medic landed.
"Hey dad." Gohan said.
"Hey Gohan." Kakkarott nodded quickly before turning to Videl.
"Videl are you alright?" Kakkarott asked worriedly.
"Yes, I'm fine." Videl answered.
"Is the baby alright as well?" Kakkarott asked again.
"Just fine." Videl repeated.
Kakkarott smiled in satisfaction. "Good."
Kakkarott, Gohan, Videl and the medic then took off into the air, flying the short distance it was to the Son house. A few moments later, all four landed outside their destination. "Thank you for your assistance, you may return to the medical bay now." Kakkarott said, shooing off the medic.
After the medic left, Kakkarott showed Gohan and Videl inside. "Chichi we're home." Kakkarott called to his mate.
In the depths of the cozy house, Chichi's reply could be heard. "What do you mean by 'we' Kakkarott?"
"Come see for yourself." Kakkarott replied.
Chichi's footsteps were heard as she came from the kitchen to see what Kakkarott wanted her to see. When Chichi's eyes fell upon Gohan and Videl she nearly fainted. "Hi mom." Gohan said.
Chichi's stared in disbelief at Gohan for a moment. She couldn't believe that her son was alive, especially since Frieza's men had kidnapped Videl. Chichi walked up to Gohan and poked him with her finger, to make sure he was real. After she was convinced the young saiyan standing in front of her was real, Chichi flung her arms around Gohan. "Oh Gohan, I'm so glad you've come home, I thought you would never come back."
Gohan nodded and tried to pry off his mother, who had him in a bear hug, which was cutting off his breathing. "Mom, I'm glad to see you too, can't breath." Gohan said while struggling for air.
"Oh, sorry." Chichi apologized, releasing him.
For the next few hours Gohan told the rest of his family his adventures in the time he had been gone. "Yeah, this guy's name was Remon, the one that disappeared and- oh no, I forgot to send a distress signal for Remon after I beat Frieza. I promised him I would." Gohan said, mentally kicking himself for his forgetfulness at his still young age.
"It's alright Gohan. I have taken car of that for you." Kakkarott said.
"Thanks dad." Gohan said.
"So how did you defeat Frieza so easily, Gohan?" Chichi asked, knowing that Gohan was strong, but Frieza was no pushover.
"Well to tell you the truth, I really don't know. I had this strange feeling of rage overwhelming me. All I remember really is Frieza having Videl in his arms, threatening her one minute, and the next he was staring up at me from the ground." Gohan said.
"May I fill in?" Videl asked.
"Of course." Gohan said.
"Well from what I could see, after Frieza took hold of me, Gohan started getting a really strange look on his face. He was super saiyan at the time, but it seemed like he went beyond a super saiyan, his hair seemed to get longer, and the golden aura around him got even more brilliant. The ground started rumbling underneath our feet and Frieza was so freaked out that he let go of me, next thing I see is Frieza on the ground and Gohan holding a ki ball to his head." Videl said.
Kakkarott and Chichi looked at each other, and then at Gohan and Videl, they couldn't believe what Videl had just said. Gohan going beyond super saiyan, was it possible? It could have been, but even so if he did, how come he couldn't remember any of it? Kakkarott pondered on this question. "Gohan, do you remember anything at all, how you even were able to turn this 'level' beyond super saiyan?"
Gohan shook his head. "No, I'm afraid I don't."
Kakkarott looked down at the ground. "Then I'm afraid we'll never know how you could turn, therefore you probably will never be able to do it again."
"Hey, let's stop worrying how Gohan turned into someone he doesn't even remember being. What matters is that he, Videl and the child are alive and well. Now that Frieza is dead we can get back to our lives and the saiyan race won't have to live in Frieza's shadow anymore. I say we should celebrate." Chichi said, smiling.
Everyone looked at Chichi as if she were a genius. "Great idea, Chi. We'll celebrate tonight. I shall tell the king and see what he thinks." Kakkarott said as he got up and headed towards the front door of the house.
Chichi grabbed him before he was able to make two steps towards his destination. "Hold on, I don't want the king to know quite yet, Kakkarott. I just wanted to have a celebration here at our house with family and friends, no big fancy balls where every saiyan on the planet is there."
Kakkarott nodded. "Alright, whatever you say, Chi."
"Good, now who should we invite?" Chichi asked.
"I'll tell you what Chichi, why don't you and I make up the guest list, and let the guys go do there thing." Videl suggested.
"Great idea, Kakkarott, why don't you take Goten with you guys and go tell the king the news." Chichi said.
"Ok." Kakkarott said.
Kakkarott went upstairs to find Goten, who was playing with his toys in his room. "Hey Goten, want to go play with Trunks?"
Goten jumped in the air excitedly at the mention of his best friend's name. "Yeah."
"Let's go then." Kakkarott said.
With that Kakkarott and his two sons took to the air, heading towards the royal palace. Moments later the three saiyans were outside the palace walls. A guard came up to the three and asked, "What is your business here?"
"I'm General Kakkarott and these are my two sons, Son Gohan and Son Goten. We are here to see his majesty."
Even thought the guard knew the three saiyans, he still eyed them suspiously, for it was his job. "Very well then, you may proceed." The guard said.
Kakkarott, Gohan and Goten made their way to the throne room, where they found Vegeta and Bulma both sitting on their thrones. Vegeta turned his head when he heard the three coming. "Awe Kakkarott, what brings you here?" Vegeta asked.
He then noticed Gohan standing next to his father. "Gohan, your back. Did you defeat Frieza?"
"Yes, your majesty, I did." Gohan replied.
Vegeta jumped p and started dancing around. "This is great, we must celebrate!"
"Actually, your majesty, that's why we are here." Kakkarott said.
"Oh, really." Vegeta said.
"Your, majesty, my mate came up with the idea of having a private party, with family and friends. She was wondering if you would come attend tonight's festivities?" Kakkarott asked.
Vegeta smirked. "Of course, just name the time and place and I and my mate will be there."
"It shall be tonight at the Son residence, at the first showing of the quarter moon." Kakkarott said.
Vegeta smirked. "Very well, we shall be there. Shall the brats attend as well?"
"If you wish tem to, your majesty." Kakkarott responded.
"Very well, I'm sure Trunks will be delighted to see your son tonight, or would you like to see him now, Goten?" Vegeta asked.
Goten got an excited look on his face. "Yes sir, if that's ok with you, of course?" Goten asked, remembering whom he was talking to.
"Of course. Guard, bring me my son." Vegeta ordered.
"Yes, your majesty." said the guard.
"Kakkarott, you may leave your son here, we shall bring him back with us this evening." Vegeta said.
"Very well, your majesty." Kakkarott said.
"You may go." Vegeta said, waving him off.
Kakkarott bowed, as did Gohan. They then turned and left to return to the Son house.
That Night
"Welcome your majesty. Thank you for coming." Gohan said as he let Vegeta, Bulma, Trunks and Bra into the house.
"Thank you Gohan." Bulma said.
Kakkarott came into the room and greeted Vegeta." Hello, your majesty, I'm so glad you could come." Kakkarott said as he bowed slightly.
"Please Kakkarott, don't bow to me tonight, we are after all in your home, and tonight I want you to address me by my name." Vegeta said.
"As you with, your ma-I mean yes, Vegeta." Kakkarott corrected himself.
Vegeta laughed. "Ha ha, that's right, now let's celebrate the freedom of the saiyan race."
"Right." Kakkarott said as he led the royal family inside the house.
Kakkarott, Vegeta and his family came into the backyard of the Son house. Kids were running around, chasing each other. Adult saiyans were talking and laughing, while holding drinks in their hands. Trunks came up behind Kakkarott and lightly tugged on his shirt. Kakkarott turned around to face the little boy. "Hey trunks, what's up?" He asked trunks as he bent down to Trunks.
Trunks looked at Kakkarott shyly. "Sir, I was wondering if you could tell me where Goten is?"
"I thought he was with you, Trunks." Kakkarott said.
"He was, sir, but he ran off and now I can't find him." Trunks replied.
"Well let me see if I can find him."
Kakkarott stood up and looked around the crowded back yard to see if he could see his smaller twin. Kakkarott looked around a few minutes before spotting Goten over by Videl. "Goten, come here!" Kakkarott called to his son.
Goten turned around to where he had heard the sound of his father's voice. When he spotted him Goten gave Videl a hug before running in Kakkarott direction. "Yeah daddy?" Goten asked.
"Hey, why don't you and Trunks go play." Kakkarott suggested.
"Ok." Goten answered.
"Have fun." Kakkarott said, patting his son on the head.
Goten gave Kakkarott the classic Son grin before he and Trunks ran off. Kakkarott then turned to Vegeta who was conversing with Gohan on the subject of Frieza's defeat. Vegeta turned to face the father of the legendary super saiyan. "Hey Vegeta, would you like something to eat or drink?" Kakkarott asked.
At the mention of food, Vegeta became entranced. "Lead me to the food." Vegeta commanded.
"Right this way." Kakkarott started walking.
As Kakkarott and Vegeta went off in the hunt for food, Gohan decided to go find Videl. Gohan found her talking with Chichi and Bulma. Gohan encircled Videl from behind and turned her around, kissing her softly. "Hey." Gohan said after he released Videl.
Chichi and Bulma giggled. Gohan looked at the two saiyan women in confusion. "What's so funny?" Gohan asked.
"Oh nothing, just that it's another eight month till the full moon." Chichi said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Gohan asked again.
"Nothing." Both women said in unison.
Gohan was confused, but let the matter rest. "So Videl, when are you expecting the baby?" Bulma asked.
"By the next full moon." Videl said.
"Wow, that long." Bulma said, thinking Videl had been farther along then that.
"Yep." Videl replied.
"Well if you have any questions, just ask us." Chichi said.
"Ok." Videl said.
Gohan and the three women talked awhile before Vegeta called for silence. "Everyone, silence."
Everyone shut up. Vegeta continued. "Thank you. Tonight is a very special night as I'm sure all of you know. Tonight we celebrate our triumph over one monster. Tonight we gather to thank one saiyan who had the courage and power to stand up to this tyrant, fight him and win. Tonight we celebrate this one saiyan's safe return home. Tonight we celebrate, Gohan."
Applauds erupted from the crowed everyone started cheering and chanting Gohan's name. Everyone started yelling, "speech?"
Gohan made his way to the table on which Vegeta was standing. Gohan looked out over the crowd of about one hundred people, all standing and cheering for him. "Silence!" Vegeta demanded once again.
Again everyone was silent. Gohan became nervous, he had no idea what to say. "Uh, thank you, thank you all for your support. I'm honored. Uh, well, I um would like to thank his majesty for giving me the support and encouragement I needed to fulfill this mission. My family and friends for caring so much," Gohan paused and looked over at Videl and smiled, "but most of all I would like to thank Videl Son for always being there for me and always giving her love to me. Thank you Videl, I love you."
The crowd cheered once more. Gohan started down from the table when Vegeta grabbed him by the shoulder. "Not yet Gohan." Vegeta said.
Vegeta once more called for silence. "Dear people. Tonight is very special, for tonight not only do we celebrate the defeat of our most hated foe, but also the anointment of this man," Vegeta pointed at Gohan, " Son Gohan, we the saiyan race are very thankful for you courage in defeating Frieza. We would like to show our thanks to you. By my word, you are now free of all past crimes. You and your family may return to the city and live in peace."
Gohan couldn't believe what he just heard. He had just been acquitted of all his past crimes. It was a miracle. Gohan shook Vegeta's had feverishly. "Thank you, your majesty."
With that Gohan stepped off the table and went directly to where Videl was standing. He picked her up, spun her around and then kissed her with such passion that Gohan thought he would lose it right there. Life was truly wonderful. It couldn't get any better. Gohan didn't know though that it was about to get a lot better.
After everyone had left at the end of the party and Gohan and Videl had said their goodbyes to his parents, they flew off for home, Videl in Gohan's arms. When they reached home Gohan immediately went to bed. Videl, who wasn't as tired, took her time changing into her pajamas. When Videl came into the bedroom she found Gohan laying in the middle of the bed, in the buff and fast asleep. Videl had a naughty idea right at that moment.
Another dream that will never come true
Just to compliment you sorrow
Another life that I've taken from you
Gift to add on to you pain and suffering
Videl undressed and climbed into bed, Gohan facing away from her. Videl smiled mischviously as she took hold of Gohan's tail, which was lying peacefully on the mattress. She gently started rubbing it. The tail suddenly came alive, as did its master seconds later. Gohan started purring loudly.
Another truth you can never believe
Has crippled you completely
All the cries you're beginning to hear
Trapped in your mind and the sound in deafening
He slowly opened his eyes to see the perpetrator who was responsible for waking him in a rather pleasant way. Gohan turned around to face Videl. He felt tired no more as he noticed that his mate was wearing no clothing, which she usually did. Gohan felt himself become aroused with even knowing it.
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn my alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Gohan's tail wrapped instinctively around Videl's wrists, making them immobile. Gohan pounced on top of Videl, placing her arms above her head. He then started kissing her with a fiery passion that had been concealed for some time.
Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark and the world is threatening
Videl somehow broke free of her bonds, which Gohan did not object to, and started letting her hands rhomb over his body. Videl hand's rested on Gohan's chest a little while before wrapping her arms around his neck.
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Gohan kissed Videl hard before suddenly plunging himself in her. Gohan started a fast, furious pace with in her. Gohan felt himself coming, with one final thrust, he released deep inside Videl.
Return to me
Leave me alone now
Return to me
Cast aside
Return to me
You've made me turn away
Videl had not come yet however. She wrestled Gohan on his back and started her own vigorous pace atop him, it didn't take her long to come thought, which Gohan did as well. Exhausted, the two fell asleep, Videl on top of her lover, with him still inside her.
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
They take everything from you
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn my alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
"Sir there's a unidentified pod heading towards the planet's atmosphere." said a pod flight controller.
"Can you establish contact with it?" Kakkarott asked.
"I'll try sir."
The saiyan was able to make contact with the fast approaching pod. "This is General Kakkarott of the Elite Saiyan Armed Forces. Your pod is in unauthorized flying space."
"Dad, is that you?" Gohan asked.
"Go-Gohan, is that really you?" Kakkarott asked in disbelief.
"Dad, it's me, it's good to here your voice again." Gohan said.

After everyone had left at the end of the party and Gohan and Videl had said their goodbyes to his parents, they flew off for home, Videl in Gohan's arms. When they reached home Gohan immediately went to bed. Videl, who wasn't as tired, took her time changing into her pajamas. When Videl came into the bedroom she found Gohan laying in the middle of the bed, in the buff and fast asleep. Videl had a naughty idea right at that moment.
Another dream that will never come true
Just to compliment you sorrow
Another life that I've taken from you
Gift to add on to you pain and suffering
Videl undressed and climbed into bed, Gohan facing away from her. Videl smiled mischviously as she took hold of Gohan's tail, which was lying peacefully on the mattress. She gently started rubbing it. The tail suddenly came alive, as did its master seconds later. Gohan started purring loudly.
Another truth you can never believe
Has crippled you completely
All the cries you're beginning to hear
Trapped in your mind and the sound in deafening
He slowly opened his eyes to see the perpetrator who was responsible for waking him in a rather pleasant way. Gohan turned around to face Videl. He felt tired no more as he noticed that his mate was wearing no clothing, which she usually did. Gohan felt himself become aroused with even knowing it.
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn my alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Gohan's tail wrapped instinctively around Videl's wrists, making them immobile. Gohan pounced on top of Videl, placing her arms above her head. He then started kissing her with a fiery passion that had been concealed for some time.
Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark and the world is threatening
Videl somehow broke free of her bonds, which Gohan did not object to, and started letting her hands rhomb over his body. Videl hand's rested on Gohan's chest a little while before wrapping her arms around his neck.
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Gohan kissed Videl hard before suddenly plunging himself in her. Gohan started a fast, furious pace with in her. Gohan felt himself coming, with one final thrust, he released deep inside Videl.
Return to me
Leave me alone now
Return to me
Cast aside
Return to me
You've made me turn away
Videl had not come yet however. She wrestled Gohan on his back and started her own vigorous pace atop him, it didn't take her long to come thought, which Gohan did as well. Exhausted, the two fell asleep, Videl on top of her lover, with him still inside her.
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
They take everything from you
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn my alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
