Confessions
Hours had passed, lives in danger, and questions to be answered. With in a few hours it seemed as though life itself became as black as Gohan's dreams. Vampire high schools students, a sexy vampire woman, the mysterious cloaked stranger, the familiar voice, and something about destroying a family. Then again who better to know the chilling stories of family drama then him, his black haired head tossed and turned ruffling his spikes. Dreaming again.
Flashback*
Cell screamed as he bashed his fists into Gohan's young body, hammering him away shouting "I WANT YOU TO BE FURIOUS, DO YOU HEAR ME?". The violence hammered on, destroying Gohan's innocent plea to Cell, along with the hopes of an entire planet. Except in Goku's eyes.
"No dad, please you can't lose you can beat him, you can beat em all"...
"No son he's just too powerful for me that's why I chose you, I know that your destined to become more powerful then all of us" Goku told him.
"DAD NO YOU WERE WRONG" tears streamed down Gohan's face, the darkness boiling inside his frightened head. He violently shook at the fear, the cold gripping fear crushing his golden heart. Such pain, such agony, destroying his heart and mind as if he was a soul in hell being eternally punished. His jaws opened wide screaming inhuman cries, the pain increased.
Freeza laughed "Your father is DEAD, he died just like you will squealing and begging for mercy right before I DESTROYED HIM." Gohan shook his young head back in tears, glaring at the ice cold being.
"Dad....please....(sobs).....your stronger then me, stronger....DO YOU HEAR ME GOD DAMMIT STRONGER. YOU CAN'T FUCKING DIE"...
Gohan's eyes widened as the image of Goku became Freeza, grappling his arm and crushing down on his heart, hopes, and dreams with his words. "Your dad's not coming home, he's DEAD. He died, he's a loser just like you."
"DAD DON'T GO STOP IT, LEAVE HIM ALONE"...
Radditz laughed coldly "Come on I want you to say Uncle brother, HAHAHAHA Uncle HAHAHA." Goku screamed his heart out at the pain, the god awful pain of his insides being shredded apart by his own brother.
Gohan's hands gripped the sides of cold bed railing bars, bending them like paper clips as the veins surged through his Sayian blood. Burning like fire.
Radditz: A sentimental joke...
Freeza: Your dad's not coming home, he's DEAD. He died, he's a loser just like you...
Cell: Another life you could have saved Gohan...
Mr. Blue: How you let your bastard father DIE....
DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!
"NOOOOO" the screaming rage of fury could no longer contain the black darkness that poisoned Gohan's dream and heart for so many, many years. The surge of Super Sayian energy boiled every fiery ounce of blood in his body, the rage exploded. The furious force of the blast rocked the very foundation of Earth itself with his screaming force. The whole planet shook. Blank stares and expressions of shock escaped the Z family at Capsule corp.
"GREAT SCOTT BOY COOL IT" Gohan's eyes jerked to the voice, immediately calming down. Exhaling a huge breathe of relief at the sight of Dr. Briefs. "Oh man Dr. Briefs I am so sorry I was just having a nightmare" Gohan stated softly watching the french fried doctor, sit down coughing smoke. Tossing away the sizzled chard's of his cigarette into a garbage can. "Doctor what happened to you?" Dr. Briefs weakly laughed at Gohan.
"Why you did my boy, not intentionally though I admit it was one hell of a buster" Dr. Briefs wheezed, limping on his way out to exit the bed room. Gohan looked around and gulped weakly, the entire bedroom was totally vaporized. It had black burnt marks and sizzling smoke all over the place. Gohan blinked wide eyed "No wonder he didn't say much, my nightmare caused my powers to jump in." Gohan blinked sweat dropping "Oops".
In the main wreck room everyone stood there impatiently waiting, pacing back on the floor as the deathly seconds of the clock ticked by loudly. Yamcha, Krillin, 18, Goten, Bulma, Vegeta, Master Roshi, Dende, and Chi, chi had all been waiting there. Worried deathly sick about Gohan's condition, Videl paced the room faster then even Gohan's mother. Tears were forming. "I don't believe it I WON'T believe it, I just can't, Gohan WILL MAKE IT."
Yamcha sighed shaking his head softly side to side whispering "It's so sad," Krillin looked up to him scratching his black haired head in confusion. "Hey Yamcha what's the matter? I mean we all basically know Gohan's gonna ok, that's what Dende is here for" Krillin stated. But Yamcha's look remained. "It's not that Krillin just look at Videl" Krillin looked towards the young girl, her beautiful blue eyes shimmering with fading hope for her young love.
The very essence of her soul and heart yearning for him to come back to her, to love, to hold, to hug, yet her walk not only showed worry but sorrow. Almost an angry sorrow like she walked alone from the rest of existence. "Yeah she's hot" Krillin exclaimed, Yamcha immediately face faulted down. Groaning out loud "YOU IDIOT" he leapt back up his feet and smacked Krillin's skull. "OW" Krillin whimpered with a growl, rubbing his hairy head.
"Your lucky that I decided to grow all my hair back or your fist would have hit solid monk" Krillin grumbled, Yamcha sighed again and crossed his arms. "Don't you see Videl is knocking herself out for Gohan cause she loves him, but love can't last unless your completely honest with your spouse. I mean think about it. How can 2 people love, cherish, and trust each other when you hide something as big as our lives from Videl?" Yamcha said sadly.
Flexing his yellow suit as he leaned upon the blue wall, sighing at the fond memories of his lost love with Bulma. "That and being a scar faced horn dog doesn't help either" Krillin added nudging Yamcha lightly, Yamcha nodded. "Yeah I uh HEY" he grabbed for Krillin and missed, watching the laughing monk taunt and tease him as he chased him around the room. Sighing from boredom 18 blinked her blue eyes to Videl, gently patting her shoulders.
"Hey don't worry Gohan is a tough kid he's gonna be fine, especially with a strong woman like you with him" 18 smiled winking to a blushing Videl. Her cheeks puffed up red just like a pair of rosy tomatoes at 18's kind words, "Thanks 18 I just wish I could go in and see him" Videl said in a sad pout. Bulma came out smiling rosy red lipstick lips, with a tray of cookies in hand. "I know this is my mom's gig but I thought I'd give it a shot" Bulma said.
Passing out the cookies happily to all around her, after all they were just as much family as Trunks and Vegeta were. "Thanks Bulma your being such a dear about all this" Chi, chi sobbed as she bit softly into a cookie. Bulma smiled and wiped some of her tears away with a tissue softly "No sweat, you guys are welcome to stay here as long as you need you always know that. What kind of family would we be if we just ignored each other?" Bulma said.
The sweet the sound of those words rang like a lost memory in her mind, as if it was something she never knew or never had. "Family?" the word seemed to alien and foreign to her, Videl's own lips having trouble pronouncing it. Her own life she looked back to within a flash it was over in the same second, after her mother died it was only her and her father. "Not much of a family" she thought to herself, watching all everyone here like one big family.
Videl's Thoughts
I don't understand this, all my life I've worked my hardest to prove dad how strong I am and how good of a fighter I can be. To prove I'm not weak. And despite the fact he's the only family I have left, I just can't believe what I see. These people aren't even related, even some they can't stand. Yet they all act as if they're one big family, what connects them?
"OOF" "Uh" at the sounds of grunts of groans, even more followed as all eyes stared at Master Roshi laying painfully down on the ground with Piccolo. "Roshi what in the hell are you doing were supposed to helping Piccolo heal, not get em banged up AGAIN" Bulma shouted as she crossed her arms. The old man coughed and wheezed struggling to pull himself back up, "Do you have any idea how much that cape of his weighs?" Roshi said.
"Who's ever idea it was to have an old man carry me up is getting stabbed in the eyes" Piccolo growled, wincing as he slowly stood himself up. Placing a green hand over his gut, Bulma and 18 regretfully dragged Roshi to his feet. Suddenly some odd noises were coming from Gohan's room, Videl jumped up. "Screw this my Gohan is in there" Videl stated loudly, rushing to the door. Shoving past everyone in front of her and hammering down the door.
Piccolo sighed sweat dropping to himself "I sure hope Dende got out of there in time," "Hey Dende" the young Namek turned to Gohan from the window. Gently prying his green hands away from the window he was leaving to, Gohan smiled at his old friend as he sat up from his bed rubbing his full chest. "Thanks for all your help for healing Piccolo, Videl, and making me whole again" Gohan said, Dende laughed softly and hugged him.
"Hey it's no problem I just hope you tell Videl soon about everything, I feel like a cat burglar" both Gohan and Dende laughed at his joke. Gohan nodded watching his friend quietly exit through the window, and just in time too. The door crashed down with a slamming fall, Videl stood there totally shocked. The angel blue eyes mirrored the love of her life in complete perfect health, "Oh thank Kami YOUR ALIVE" Videl squealed as she hugged him tightly.
Laughing as soft tears of sorrow streamed down her smooth cheeks, Gohan stumbled back a bit laughing softly as he hugged her too. "Hey careful I'm damaged goods here" Gohan chuckled softly, Videl smiled and nuzzled him. "It's just so good to know your alive Gohan I mean" Videl tried to finish, tears continued to form in her eyes as she tried to speak. Her words getting gargled. Gohan smiled & gently put a finger to her lips, hushing her sobbing.
"Hey, hey sweetie everything is fine and so am I, I'm not going anywhere except to be right here with you" Gohan said as he softly kissed her lips. Embracing his warm filled love Videl kissed him right back just as deeply, savoring every sweet filled taste of true love's first kiss all over again. The thought that she might never have tasted the warm filled love of his kiss, would kill her heart. "You have so much heart Gohan" Videl said happily.
Gohan blushed and coughed as he tried to hide his redness, Videl giggled and helped him walk back outside to the smiling faces of his friends and family. "OH MY BABY" Chi, chi screamed out as she tackled down her son, hugging him and smothering him with crying tears and mother loving kisses. Gohan pleaded "ACK MOM need AIR" Chi, chi gulped, shaking off her flushing embarrassment. "Good to see you back Gohan" said Piccolo.
Gohan winked to his mentor returning the warm smile, "It's good to be back I feel like a whole new person, ready to make that monster Mr. Blue pay" Gohan stated. Flexing his fists tightly, Chi, chi simply smiled crossing her arms. "And here I was worried you'd be hurt my goodness that Dende sure patched you up good," Krillin suddenly spitted out his drink at Chi, chi's words. "ARE YOU NUTS DID YOU FORGET?" Krillin screamed to her.
Chi, chi suddenly gasped and clasped her mouth shut sweat dropping "Oops" she softly uttered, Videl blinked oddly at her. "Dende? Who's Dende? I thought Gohan met up with Dr. Briefs in there" Videl asked questinginly. Watching everyone sit in stunned silence, if someone didn't explain who the hell Dende was FAST. They were all screwed, big secret time screwed. "Why uh AHEM yes actually they meant Dr. Dende you see.
"I'm a doctor by science my dear not in medical but in my line of work, you meet the kind of doctors that work in the medical field. So I called up my friend Dr. Dende and he fixed you up like brand new" Dr. Briefs explained, swallowing the cold lump of doubt in his throat at Videl's stern face. She slowly sighed and shrugged her shoulders saying "Oh I see, thanks sir." Everyone sighed deeply relief but now with Gohan back, it was time to talk.
The serious matter of the mysterious Mr. Blue and his evil assistant Nocturna, desired desperate discussion. Hopefully they figure with all their minds put together, they can find out who or what this thing is, and how to beat him. "So let me get this straight, some weirdo in a Batman rip off get up, cape, and cowl attacked you guys at the school play. But that was after some weirdo sex loving vampire chick, turned your class mates into vampires."
Gohan nodded to Bulma the young mother sat down crossing her bare legs slightly confused, "Now that is weird definitely a new one for us" she said. "But from what you guys say that vampire girl is nothing compared to this Mr. Blue guy" Yamcha stated, Krillin poked his black haired head in thought. So many thoughts, and wonders, and theories passed through all their heads, but none explain this Blue character. "But this just doesn't make any sense.
I mean according to Videl and Gohan the guy was built tougher then a stack of bricks," Videl nodded to Krillin rubbing her fists still. "I gave him everything I had and then some and it didn't even phase him" she stated, Gohan then showed everyone his steel cut hand. They gasped at the staples. "And this came off my hand when I punched him in the face" Gohan said, Bulma picked up one of the staples, examining it carefully to her blue eyes.
"Geez whoever made these things must have flunked out of doctor school, it's an incredibly cheap made piece of metal it's even got rust" Bulma exclaimed. "Huh?" 18 blinked as she saw something attached to the tiny staples, she extended her hand to Gohan "Can I see that?" he nodded and handed her one. The beautiful android raised it to her ice blue eyes as she enhanced it, examining it closer. Spotting tiny fragments of blue tissue on it.
"Now I'm not a brain here but I'm pretty sure metal doesn't have slimy blue gunk attached to it" she said, rubbing her black gloved fingers over the stuff. A thought perked into her head "That's strange I've felt this texture before, thick, slimy, yet very warm, YES I know I felt this stuff before but where?". The odd thought continued to puzzle 18, meanwhile Piccolo paced the floor. Talking as he walked side by side, still hiding behind his thick white cape.
"That's all well and good but something more important is missing from our little puzzle man Mr. Blue, he also knew who I was along with Gohan and Videl. He knew personal things about us, secrets we've told no one else. Now we all fought this guy and it's clear to me he's definitely not human at all" Gohan nodded, agreeing with Piccolo. "The staples are proof enough" Yamcha said, Piccolo scratched his green chin as he tried to remember.
Remember something Blue was saying about revenge, something about getting payback from Gohan and Videl. But not just them from their "Families" Videl blurted out, Piccolo snapped his claws at her words "Yes." Piccolo nodded and pleaded Videl to continue, she bit her lip and spoke on "Yeah that guy kept saying he wanted revenge on my family and Gohan's. He mentioned my name and my dad's too" Gohan just sat down and listened.
Mesmerized by the words Videl said, this was all coming as big news to him. After all he was unconscious after that blast he took and Videl heard Blue. Piccolo cracked his neck and put on his game face, "Our main priority is to find out what this guy has to do with Gohan and Videl's families." "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL DOING HERE?" a booming voice screamed out, yet everyone regretfully knew who it was. Vegeta stormed in furiously.
Bulma groaned and flexed her hand across her face "Chill HONEY, were just helping out Gohan heal I told you this earlier" Bulma repeated. Vegeta huffed and flexed his muscular forearms out, staring sneerful stares at everyone. Especially a dead stare at Gohan's face, to which he was currently facing. "I just didn't want to believe that the son of Kakkarott was a total pussy, what kind of fighter are you?" Gohan growled. He backed Vegeta out of his face.
"Look Vegeta this guy was a lot tougher then anything we've faced before" Vegeta laughed at Gohan, "For someone who dropped out of training for 7 years that's a good joke kid." Vegeta turned with the old Sayian smirk on his face, walking away from the highly pissed off Gohan. "If that's true how come you still train?" Gohan stated, Vegeta laughed again answering "A true warrior always is ready for battle anytime, anywhere" Gohan then grinned.
"Is that just a nice way of saying your too weak to beat my father or me?" Gohan mocked back, the whole room stopped at an ice cold stand still. Krillin's drink dropped to the ground with a clank as it spilled on the floor, "I can't believe he just said that" he gulped to himself softly. Vegeta turned. Glaring his boiling Sayian eyes the hell flaming rage of the prince of Sayians, his pride was his heart and both had been destroyed by Gohan's mocking.
He jammed his blue vested chest against Gohan's black vest and glared angry eyes at each other, growling to one another dogs. "Say that again BOY" hissed Vegeta "Anytime OLD MAN" sneered Gohan. Videl immediately shoved herself between the 2 quarreling Sayians, pushing them both apart. "All right vegetable head no one hurts my Gohan, but he knows better then to pick a fight" Videl's words only succeeded in pissing Vegeta off further.
Bulma nods smirking to her husband with her nose wrinkling "Looks like Vegeta knows better then to smart mouth a woman right honey?" she teased, watching the love couple watch out. Twisting his gloved hands violently. "Gohan and I have a little something to chat about right?" Videl said to Gohan nudging at his sweat dropping "agreeing" little smile. "Right" he said As they began to leave Piccolo shouted, "We'll take care of Mr. Blue Gohan.
Once we figure out a plan things we'll call you so be prepared" Gohan nodded and waved back to Piccolo, heading towards the door with Videl. Vegeta grappled his white gloved fists tighter and tighter as his rage burned, flaring his angry eyebrows at the smug Sayian boy. His thoughts beating him down repetitively. "That arrogant little brat, who does he think he's talking to? I am a prince and this is my house....well I'll SHOW HIM" he thought.
Suddenly flaring his enraged fist into a powerful yellow energy glow, Vegeta screamed out and fired a blast towards the couple "VEGETA NOOO." Ignoring his wife's pleas of shock and anger as the energy attack was fired, he watched angrily as Gohan turned around with Videl in fright filled gasps. Leaping to the sides the blast crashed into the door and exploded instantly, a powerful blast of windy gust of ruptured concrete hurled across the room.
"VEGETA you asshole have you gone completely nuts THEY ARE OUR FRIENDS, you could have killed someone" Bulma continued to scream. Piccolo growled and bawled up a fist to smash into the smug Sayian prince, "That was totally uncalled for" he snarled. Vegeta faced Piccolo grabbing his white cloak tightly, "Butt out Namek my pride is my business not yours. Your all a bunch of spineless cowards & wussies, your weaker then Gohan.
Kakkarott's son is strong enough to survive a pitiful attack like that, he may be soft inside but he's still of Sayian blood. Where YOU and HE failed I will succeed, once I find this Mr. Blue I'll tear him apart bit by bit" Vegeta said. Clenching a bawled fist at the growling Piccolo, Krillin and the others immediately ran to help Gohan and Videl. Shoving off the stone chunks, quickly removing them as they coughed and wheezed from the dusty fields.
Videl wiped a tiny cut from her cheek and sneered an angry finger to Vegeta, "What the hell are you trying to do kill us? That rubble could have crushed us." Krillin blinked at her "Huh? I thought that blast would be a better thing to worry about Videl," Videl looked to Krillin and laughed softly to him. As Videl continued to speak Gohan's face dropped all color into a pale white, this looked REALLY bad. Once Videl starts he knows where she'll take it to.
"I can't believe you guys still think a few measly fire cracker tricks are gonna hurt me" Videl said proudly, sporting an even prouder smirk back to Vegeta. The Sayian prince growled a growl like his fury has never unleashed before, his face went red as steamed gushed out from his bulging neck. Gohan gulped "Oh shit" Vegeta jerked his head upward and screamed, a howl of unbelievable fury boiling out from his lungs like a volcano from hell.
The bellowing tones of his scream shook the very core the planet harder then any earthquake ever well. Vegeta huffed and puffed his anger into bull like snorts, glaring almost evil eyes to Videl. "THAT FUCKING DOES IT! I HAVE HAD IT! THIS ENDS NOW!", Vegeta shouted as Yamcha and Krillin grabbed his arms. "Vegeta no you remember that Bulma said GAH" Krillin's words were cut off, as both he and Yamcha were blasted right off.
Videl stood simply stunned and spellbound with horror, at the endless depths of monstrous fury Vegeta was busting out. He shoved everyone including Bulma away from him as angrily and quickly as possible. "Vegeta NO" Gohan pleaded his eyes screamed for the prince to stop, but it failed. "Shut up I refuse to play these childish games anymore, and hide my life from your girl" he shouted. Videl's face began to wrinkle from horror to rage.
"What the hell is he talking about Gohan?" Videl demanded as she stared cold eyes at possibly her ex-boyfriend, but Gohan was a total nervous wreck. Vegeta answered her back "I'll tell you exactly what I'm talking about, for 7 long years your eyes as well the entire world's has been blinded by stupidity. Your own world is falling apart as we speak and it's BEEN falling apart for years, right under your nose. Your retarded brain dead excuse for a father, Mr. Satan is not the world's strongest fighter. HE NEVER WAS.
He's the weakest of every weak human being on this miserable planet, we are the true heroes of this dust ball. US you always told Gohan we walked around like we were better, as if we were set apart from the world somehow. WE ARE, we are the strongest beings in the entire universe. We have defeated every single threat that has come to this planet as well others, are you getting it now? Those aren't stupid parlor tricks you brainless witch.
Those are REAL we have those powers and no one else does, you've been lied to since birth. Cell wasn't defeated by Mr. Satan, HE defeated Cell," the words out of his mouth were like a screaming bullet in Gohan's heart and soul. Shattering the very existence of life, love, and friendship with Videl. Her eyes were like 2 stars on a far away planet, like 2 worlds inside her eyes. Eyes that were finally opened to the true truth, the truth Gohan kept from her.
Vegeta's slaughter of words and truth continued to hammer away Videl and Gohan's life of lies, "Your father was beaten by Cell in a matter of seconds. Cell was one of the strongest beings in existence, and no human on this planet could stop him. That is where WE came in" Videl swallowed a cold deep lump, trembling down her throat. Every word he said was even more unreal sounding then the last, & deep in her heart Videl had known all along.
She was in a mixture of mad racing emotions of fear, anger, curiosity, despair, and depression but even though she'll regret it. She had to know more. "What do you mean we? You make it sound like your not human" Videl squeaked out, only to lose her trembling voice at Vegeta's grin. Before he even said it, Videl's sinking broken heart had already known the answer. "Were not human, these weaklings are but not me or Piccolo.....or Gohan."
Videl stared at Gohan the love she was willing to give & spend her life with, the boy she was so sure that he was the one. But now the truth comes out. The horrible "alien" truth, even Gohan's name sounded so alienating to her. Vegeta continued "We are the last remains of an extinct race known as the Sayians, the most powerful warriors in the universe. We were born on the planet Vegeta named after it's ruler King Vegeta, my father hence my name.
Me and Kakkarott or better known as Goku were the last of the Sayians, but when we settled down here and started a family there was more born. Goten, Trunks, and your lying lovey dovey Gohan are half Sayian and half human. The powers, the flight, the impervious strength, the energy sensing, it's all of our natural race not yours. Piccolo is also an alien but not from our planet, from a far away place called Namek where we all had the pleasure to visit.
But I think the main thing you need to know VIDEL" as Vegeta began to finish his sentence, Videl turned around and took a long last look at Gohan. The alien boy she loved and lost, the alien boy that loved but lied to her. As each word was then spoken from Vegeta, her tears poured down a little bit harder and her heart broke a little bit deeper. "You are weak, you've ALWAYS been weak, you've been lied to, you have ALWAYS been lied to.
By your father, by your friends, by the world itself, and best of all by your love Gohan. He has been stronger then everyone on this planet since he was 5, you will never be in our leagues for you are not part of OUR WORLD. This is our world right where it should be ABOVE the false world of lies you live in, we have the real world. The real world that has been right in front of your faces, that you all have been just too stupid to notice" he finished.
With a matter of seconds Videl bolted towards the nearest exit around, Gohan went to her begging with tears already streaming as he grabbed her arm. She jerked it harshly away from him glaring back, a cold heartless stare. Those blue eyes that were filled with so much hope and beauty, were now filled with tears, pain, and most of all HATE. "I hate you Gohan.....get the hell away from me you.....freak," and with that Videl ran away forever.
A cold breeze of nightly chills filled the empty and hollow heart filled room, a thousand eyes and hearts broken into tears and sorrow for the poor boy. With in just a few days his whole life of love and hope was coldly destroyed, all because of his life. The life that he was born to hide and die in forever. Never able to bring another life into his, for it would only die as well. No voice or words could help Gohan, as he stood there watching, crying, dying.
to be continued....
Hours had passed, lives in danger, and questions to be answered. With in a few hours it seemed as though life itself became as black as Gohan's dreams. Vampire high schools students, a sexy vampire woman, the mysterious cloaked stranger, the familiar voice, and something about destroying a family. Then again who better to know the chilling stories of family drama then him, his black haired head tossed and turned ruffling his spikes. Dreaming again.
Flashback*
Cell screamed as he bashed his fists into Gohan's young body, hammering him away shouting "I WANT YOU TO BE FURIOUS, DO YOU HEAR ME?". The violence hammered on, destroying Gohan's innocent plea to Cell, along with the hopes of an entire planet. Except in Goku's eyes.
"No dad, please you can't lose you can beat him, you can beat em all"...
"No son he's just too powerful for me that's why I chose you, I know that your destined to become more powerful then all of us" Goku told him.
"DAD NO YOU WERE WRONG" tears streamed down Gohan's face, the darkness boiling inside his frightened head. He violently shook at the fear, the cold gripping fear crushing his golden heart. Such pain, such agony, destroying his heart and mind as if he was a soul in hell being eternally punished. His jaws opened wide screaming inhuman cries, the pain increased.
Freeza laughed "Your father is DEAD, he died just like you will squealing and begging for mercy right before I DESTROYED HIM." Gohan shook his young head back in tears, glaring at the ice cold being.
"Dad....please....(sobs).....your stronger then me, stronger....DO YOU HEAR ME GOD DAMMIT STRONGER. YOU CAN'T FUCKING DIE"...
Gohan's eyes widened as the image of Goku became Freeza, grappling his arm and crushing down on his heart, hopes, and dreams with his words. "Your dad's not coming home, he's DEAD. He died, he's a loser just like you."
"DAD DON'T GO STOP IT, LEAVE HIM ALONE"...
Radditz laughed coldly "Come on I want you to say Uncle brother, HAHAHAHA Uncle HAHAHA." Goku screamed his heart out at the pain, the god awful pain of his insides being shredded apart by his own brother.
Gohan's hands gripped the sides of cold bed railing bars, bending them like paper clips as the veins surged through his Sayian blood. Burning like fire.
Radditz: A sentimental joke...
Freeza: Your dad's not coming home, he's DEAD. He died, he's a loser just like you...
Cell: Another life you could have saved Gohan...
Mr. Blue: How you let your bastard father DIE....
DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!
"NOOOOO" the screaming rage of fury could no longer contain the black darkness that poisoned Gohan's dream and heart for so many, many years. The surge of Super Sayian energy boiled every fiery ounce of blood in his body, the rage exploded. The furious force of the blast rocked the very foundation of Earth itself with his screaming force. The whole planet shook. Blank stares and expressions of shock escaped the Z family at Capsule corp.
"GREAT SCOTT BOY COOL IT" Gohan's eyes jerked to the voice, immediately calming down. Exhaling a huge breathe of relief at the sight of Dr. Briefs. "Oh man Dr. Briefs I am so sorry I was just having a nightmare" Gohan stated softly watching the french fried doctor, sit down coughing smoke. Tossing away the sizzled chard's of his cigarette into a garbage can. "Doctor what happened to you?" Dr. Briefs weakly laughed at Gohan.
"Why you did my boy, not intentionally though I admit it was one hell of a buster" Dr. Briefs wheezed, limping on his way out to exit the bed room. Gohan looked around and gulped weakly, the entire bedroom was totally vaporized. It had black burnt marks and sizzling smoke all over the place. Gohan blinked wide eyed "No wonder he didn't say much, my nightmare caused my powers to jump in." Gohan blinked sweat dropping "Oops".
In the main wreck room everyone stood there impatiently waiting, pacing back on the floor as the deathly seconds of the clock ticked by loudly. Yamcha, Krillin, 18, Goten, Bulma, Vegeta, Master Roshi, Dende, and Chi, chi had all been waiting there. Worried deathly sick about Gohan's condition, Videl paced the room faster then even Gohan's mother. Tears were forming. "I don't believe it I WON'T believe it, I just can't, Gohan WILL MAKE IT."
Yamcha sighed shaking his head softly side to side whispering "It's so sad," Krillin looked up to him scratching his black haired head in confusion. "Hey Yamcha what's the matter? I mean we all basically know Gohan's gonna ok, that's what Dende is here for" Krillin stated. But Yamcha's look remained. "It's not that Krillin just look at Videl" Krillin looked towards the young girl, her beautiful blue eyes shimmering with fading hope for her young love.
The very essence of her soul and heart yearning for him to come back to her, to love, to hold, to hug, yet her walk not only showed worry but sorrow. Almost an angry sorrow like she walked alone from the rest of existence. "Yeah she's hot" Krillin exclaimed, Yamcha immediately face faulted down. Groaning out loud "YOU IDIOT" he leapt back up his feet and smacked Krillin's skull. "OW" Krillin whimpered with a growl, rubbing his hairy head.
"Your lucky that I decided to grow all my hair back or your fist would have hit solid monk" Krillin grumbled, Yamcha sighed again and crossed his arms. "Don't you see Videl is knocking herself out for Gohan cause she loves him, but love can't last unless your completely honest with your spouse. I mean think about it. How can 2 people love, cherish, and trust each other when you hide something as big as our lives from Videl?" Yamcha said sadly.
Flexing his yellow suit as he leaned upon the blue wall, sighing at the fond memories of his lost love with Bulma. "That and being a scar faced horn dog doesn't help either" Krillin added nudging Yamcha lightly, Yamcha nodded. "Yeah I uh HEY" he grabbed for Krillin and missed, watching the laughing monk taunt and tease him as he chased him around the room. Sighing from boredom 18 blinked her blue eyes to Videl, gently patting her shoulders.
"Hey don't worry Gohan is a tough kid he's gonna be fine, especially with a strong woman like you with him" 18 smiled winking to a blushing Videl. Her cheeks puffed up red just like a pair of rosy tomatoes at 18's kind words, "Thanks 18 I just wish I could go in and see him" Videl said in a sad pout. Bulma came out smiling rosy red lipstick lips, with a tray of cookies in hand. "I know this is my mom's gig but I thought I'd give it a shot" Bulma said.
Passing out the cookies happily to all around her, after all they were just as much family as Trunks and Vegeta were. "Thanks Bulma your being such a dear about all this" Chi, chi sobbed as she bit softly into a cookie. Bulma smiled and wiped some of her tears away with a tissue softly "No sweat, you guys are welcome to stay here as long as you need you always know that. What kind of family would we be if we just ignored each other?" Bulma said.
The sweet the sound of those words rang like a lost memory in her mind, as if it was something she never knew or never had. "Family?" the word seemed to alien and foreign to her, Videl's own lips having trouble pronouncing it. Her own life she looked back to within a flash it was over in the same second, after her mother died it was only her and her father. "Not much of a family" she thought to herself, watching all everyone here like one big family.
Videl's Thoughts
I don't understand this, all my life I've worked my hardest to prove dad how strong I am and how good of a fighter I can be. To prove I'm not weak. And despite the fact he's the only family I have left, I just can't believe what I see. These people aren't even related, even some they can't stand. Yet they all act as if they're one big family, what connects them?
"OOF" "Uh" at the sounds of grunts of groans, even more followed as all eyes stared at Master Roshi laying painfully down on the ground with Piccolo. "Roshi what in the hell are you doing were supposed to helping Piccolo heal, not get em banged up AGAIN" Bulma shouted as she crossed her arms. The old man coughed and wheezed struggling to pull himself back up, "Do you have any idea how much that cape of his weighs?" Roshi said.
"Who's ever idea it was to have an old man carry me up is getting stabbed in the eyes" Piccolo growled, wincing as he slowly stood himself up. Placing a green hand over his gut, Bulma and 18 regretfully dragged Roshi to his feet. Suddenly some odd noises were coming from Gohan's room, Videl jumped up. "Screw this my Gohan is in there" Videl stated loudly, rushing to the door. Shoving past everyone in front of her and hammering down the door.
Piccolo sighed sweat dropping to himself "I sure hope Dende got out of there in time," "Hey Dende" the young Namek turned to Gohan from the window. Gently prying his green hands away from the window he was leaving to, Gohan smiled at his old friend as he sat up from his bed rubbing his full chest. "Thanks for all your help for healing Piccolo, Videl, and making me whole again" Gohan said, Dende laughed softly and hugged him.
"Hey it's no problem I just hope you tell Videl soon about everything, I feel like a cat burglar" both Gohan and Dende laughed at his joke. Gohan nodded watching his friend quietly exit through the window, and just in time too. The door crashed down with a slamming fall, Videl stood there totally shocked. The angel blue eyes mirrored the love of her life in complete perfect health, "Oh thank Kami YOUR ALIVE" Videl squealed as she hugged him tightly.
Laughing as soft tears of sorrow streamed down her smooth cheeks, Gohan stumbled back a bit laughing softly as he hugged her too. "Hey careful I'm damaged goods here" Gohan chuckled softly, Videl smiled and nuzzled him. "It's just so good to know your alive Gohan I mean" Videl tried to finish, tears continued to form in her eyes as she tried to speak. Her words getting gargled. Gohan smiled & gently put a finger to her lips, hushing her sobbing.
"Hey, hey sweetie everything is fine and so am I, I'm not going anywhere except to be right here with you" Gohan said as he softly kissed her lips. Embracing his warm filled love Videl kissed him right back just as deeply, savoring every sweet filled taste of true love's first kiss all over again. The thought that she might never have tasted the warm filled love of his kiss, would kill her heart. "You have so much heart Gohan" Videl said happily.
Gohan blushed and coughed as he tried to hide his redness, Videl giggled and helped him walk back outside to the smiling faces of his friends and family. "OH MY BABY" Chi, chi screamed out as she tackled down her son, hugging him and smothering him with crying tears and mother loving kisses. Gohan pleaded "ACK MOM need AIR" Chi, chi gulped, shaking off her flushing embarrassment. "Good to see you back Gohan" said Piccolo.
Gohan winked to his mentor returning the warm smile, "It's good to be back I feel like a whole new person, ready to make that monster Mr. Blue pay" Gohan stated. Flexing his fists tightly, Chi, chi simply smiled crossing her arms. "And here I was worried you'd be hurt my goodness that Dende sure patched you up good," Krillin suddenly spitted out his drink at Chi, chi's words. "ARE YOU NUTS DID YOU FORGET?" Krillin screamed to her.
Chi, chi suddenly gasped and clasped her mouth shut sweat dropping "Oops" she softly uttered, Videl blinked oddly at her. "Dende? Who's Dende? I thought Gohan met up with Dr. Briefs in there" Videl asked questinginly. Watching everyone sit in stunned silence, if someone didn't explain who the hell Dende was FAST. They were all screwed, big secret time screwed. "Why uh AHEM yes actually they meant Dr. Dende you see.
"I'm a doctor by science my dear not in medical but in my line of work, you meet the kind of doctors that work in the medical field. So I called up my friend Dr. Dende and he fixed you up like brand new" Dr. Briefs explained, swallowing the cold lump of doubt in his throat at Videl's stern face. She slowly sighed and shrugged her shoulders saying "Oh I see, thanks sir." Everyone sighed deeply relief but now with Gohan back, it was time to talk.
The serious matter of the mysterious Mr. Blue and his evil assistant Nocturna, desired desperate discussion. Hopefully they figure with all their minds put together, they can find out who or what this thing is, and how to beat him. "So let me get this straight, some weirdo in a Batman rip off get up, cape, and cowl attacked you guys at the school play. But that was after some weirdo sex loving vampire chick, turned your class mates into vampires."
Gohan nodded to Bulma the young mother sat down crossing her bare legs slightly confused, "Now that is weird definitely a new one for us" she said. "But from what you guys say that vampire girl is nothing compared to this Mr. Blue guy" Yamcha stated, Krillin poked his black haired head in thought. So many thoughts, and wonders, and theories passed through all their heads, but none explain this Blue character. "But this just doesn't make any sense.
I mean according to Videl and Gohan the guy was built tougher then a stack of bricks," Videl nodded to Krillin rubbing her fists still. "I gave him everything I had and then some and it didn't even phase him" she stated, Gohan then showed everyone his steel cut hand. They gasped at the staples. "And this came off my hand when I punched him in the face" Gohan said, Bulma picked up one of the staples, examining it carefully to her blue eyes.
"Geez whoever made these things must have flunked out of doctor school, it's an incredibly cheap made piece of metal it's even got rust" Bulma exclaimed. "Huh?" 18 blinked as she saw something attached to the tiny staples, she extended her hand to Gohan "Can I see that?" he nodded and handed her one. The beautiful android raised it to her ice blue eyes as she enhanced it, examining it closer. Spotting tiny fragments of blue tissue on it.
"Now I'm not a brain here but I'm pretty sure metal doesn't have slimy blue gunk attached to it" she said, rubbing her black gloved fingers over the stuff. A thought perked into her head "That's strange I've felt this texture before, thick, slimy, yet very warm, YES I know I felt this stuff before but where?". The odd thought continued to puzzle 18, meanwhile Piccolo paced the floor. Talking as he walked side by side, still hiding behind his thick white cape.
"That's all well and good but something more important is missing from our little puzzle man Mr. Blue, he also knew who I was along with Gohan and Videl. He knew personal things about us, secrets we've told no one else. Now we all fought this guy and it's clear to me he's definitely not human at all" Gohan nodded, agreeing with Piccolo. "The staples are proof enough" Yamcha said, Piccolo scratched his green chin as he tried to remember.
Remember something Blue was saying about revenge, something about getting payback from Gohan and Videl. But not just them from their "Families" Videl blurted out, Piccolo snapped his claws at her words "Yes." Piccolo nodded and pleaded Videl to continue, she bit her lip and spoke on "Yeah that guy kept saying he wanted revenge on my family and Gohan's. He mentioned my name and my dad's too" Gohan just sat down and listened.
Mesmerized by the words Videl said, this was all coming as big news to him. After all he was unconscious after that blast he took and Videl heard Blue. Piccolo cracked his neck and put on his game face, "Our main priority is to find out what this guy has to do with Gohan and Videl's families." "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL DOING HERE?" a booming voice screamed out, yet everyone regretfully knew who it was. Vegeta stormed in furiously.
Bulma groaned and flexed her hand across her face "Chill HONEY, were just helping out Gohan heal I told you this earlier" Bulma repeated. Vegeta huffed and flexed his muscular forearms out, staring sneerful stares at everyone. Especially a dead stare at Gohan's face, to which he was currently facing. "I just didn't want to believe that the son of Kakkarott was a total pussy, what kind of fighter are you?" Gohan growled. He backed Vegeta out of his face.
"Look Vegeta this guy was a lot tougher then anything we've faced before" Vegeta laughed at Gohan, "For someone who dropped out of training for 7 years that's a good joke kid." Vegeta turned with the old Sayian smirk on his face, walking away from the highly pissed off Gohan. "If that's true how come you still train?" Gohan stated, Vegeta laughed again answering "A true warrior always is ready for battle anytime, anywhere" Gohan then grinned.
"Is that just a nice way of saying your too weak to beat my father or me?" Gohan mocked back, the whole room stopped at an ice cold stand still. Krillin's drink dropped to the ground with a clank as it spilled on the floor, "I can't believe he just said that" he gulped to himself softly. Vegeta turned. Glaring his boiling Sayian eyes the hell flaming rage of the prince of Sayians, his pride was his heart and both had been destroyed by Gohan's mocking.
He jammed his blue vested chest against Gohan's black vest and glared angry eyes at each other, growling to one another dogs. "Say that again BOY" hissed Vegeta "Anytime OLD MAN" sneered Gohan. Videl immediately shoved herself between the 2 quarreling Sayians, pushing them both apart. "All right vegetable head no one hurts my Gohan, but he knows better then to pick a fight" Videl's words only succeeded in pissing Vegeta off further.
Bulma nods smirking to her husband with her nose wrinkling "Looks like Vegeta knows better then to smart mouth a woman right honey?" she teased, watching the love couple watch out. Twisting his gloved hands violently. "Gohan and I have a little something to chat about right?" Videl said to Gohan nudging at his sweat dropping "agreeing" little smile. "Right" he said As they began to leave Piccolo shouted, "We'll take care of Mr. Blue Gohan.
Once we figure out a plan things we'll call you so be prepared" Gohan nodded and waved back to Piccolo, heading towards the door with Videl. Vegeta grappled his white gloved fists tighter and tighter as his rage burned, flaring his angry eyebrows at the smug Sayian boy. His thoughts beating him down repetitively. "That arrogant little brat, who does he think he's talking to? I am a prince and this is my house....well I'll SHOW HIM" he thought.
Suddenly flaring his enraged fist into a powerful yellow energy glow, Vegeta screamed out and fired a blast towards the couple "VEGETA NOOO." Ignoring his wife's pleas of shock and anger as the energy attack was fired, he watched angrily as Gohan turned around with Videl in fright filled gasps. Leaping to the sides the blast crashed into the door and exploded instantly, a powerful blast of windy gust of ruptured concrete hurled across the room.
"VEGETA you asshole have you gone completely nuts THEY ARE OUR FRIENDS, you could have killed someone" Bulma continued to scream. Piccolo growled and bawled up a fist to smash into the smug Sayian prince, "That was totally uncalled for" he snarled. Vegeta faced Piccolo grabbing his white cloak tightly, "Butt out Namek my pride is my business not yours. Your all a bunch of spineless cowards & wussies, your weaker then Gohan.
Kakkarott's son is strong enough to survive a pitiful attack like that, he may be soft inside but he's still of Sayian blood. Where YOU and HE failed I will succeed, once I find this Mr. Blue I'll tear him apart bit by bit" Vegeta said. Clenching a bawled fist at the growling Piccolo, Krillin and the others immediately ran to help Gohan and Videl. Shoving off the stone chunks, quickly removing them as they coughed and wheezed from the dusty fields.
Videl wiped a tiny cut from her cheek and sneered an angry finger to Vegeta, "What the hell are you trying to do kill us? That rubble could have crushed us." Krillin blinked at her "Huh? I thought that blast would be a better thing to worry about Videl," Videl looked to Krillin and laughed softly to him. As Videl continued to speak Gohan's face dropped all color into a pale white, this looked REALLY bad. Once Videl starts he knows where she'll take it to.
"I can't believe you guys still think a few measly fire cracker tricks are gonna hurt me" Videl said proudly, sporting an even prouder smirk back to Vegeta. The Sayian prince growled a growl like his fury has never unleashed before, his face went red as steamed gushed out from his bulging neck. Gohan gulped "Oh shit" Vegeta jerked his head upward and screamed, a howl of unbelievable fury boiling out from his lungs like a volcano from hell.
The bellowing tones of his scream shook the very core the planet harder then any earthquake ever well. Vegeta huffed and puffed his anger into bull like snorts, glaring almost evil eyes to Videl. "THAT FUCKING DOES IT! I HAVE HAD IT! THIS ENDS NOW!", Vegeta shouted as Yamcha and Krillin grabbed his arms. "Vegeta no you remember that Bulma said GAH" Krillin's words were cut off, as both he and Yamcha were blasted right off.
Videl stood simply stunned and spellbound with horror, at the endless depths of monstrous fury Vegeta was busting out. He shoved everyone including Bulma away from him as angrily and quickly as possible. "Vegeta NO" Gohan pleaded his eyes screamed for the prince to stop, but it failed. "Shut up I refuse to play these childish games anymore, and hide my life from your girl" he shouted. Videl's face began to wrinkle from horror to rage.
"What the hell is he talking about Gohan?" Videl demanded as she stared cold eyes at possibly her ex-boyfriend, but Gohan was a total nervous wreck. Vegeta answered her back "I'll tell you exactly what I'm talking about, for 7 long years your eyes as well the entire world's has been blinded by stupidity. Your own world is falling apart as we speak and it's BEEN falling apart for years, right under your nose. Your retarded brain dead excuse for a father, Mr. Satan is not the world's strongest fighter. HE NEVER WAS.
He's the weakest of every weak human being on this miserable planet, we are the true heroes of this dust ball. US you always told Gohan we walked around like we were better, as if we were set apart from the world somehow. WE ARE, we are the strongest beings in the entire universe. We have defeated every single threat that has come to this planet as well others, are you getting it now? Those aren't stupid parlor tricks you brainless witch.
Those are REAL we have those powers and no one else does, you've been lied to since birth. Cell wasn't defeated by Mr. Satan, HE defeated Cell," the words out of his mouth were like a screaming bullet in Gohan's heart and soul. Shattering the very existence of life, love, and friendship with Videl. Her eyes were like 2 stars on a far away planet, like 2 worlds inside her eyes. Eyes that were finally opened to the true truth, the truth Gohan kept from her.
Vegeta's slaughter of words and truth continued to hammer away Videl and Gohan's life of lies, "Your father was beaten by Cell in a matter of seconds. Cell was one of the strongest beings in existence, and no human on this planet could stop him. That is where WE came in" Videl swallowed a cold deep lump, trembling down her throat. Every word he said was even more unreal sounding then the last, & deep in her heart Videl had known all along.
She was in a mixture of mad racing emotions of fear, anger, curiosity, despair, and depression but even though she'll regret it. She had to know more. "What do you mean we? You make it sound like your not human" Videl squeaked out, only to lose her trembling voice at Vegeta's grin. Before he even said it, Videl's sinking broken heart had already known the answer. "Were not human, these weaklings are but not me or Piccolo.....or Gohan."
Videl stared at Gohan the love she was willing to give & spend her life with, the boy she was so sure that he was the one. But now the truth comes out. The horrible "alien" truth, even Gohan's name sounded so alienating to her. Vegeta continued "We are the last remains of an extinct race known as the Sayians, the most powerful warriors in the universe. We were born on the planet Vegeta named after it's ruler King Vegeta, my father hence my name.
Me and Kakkarott or better known as Goku were the last of the Sayians, but when we settled down here and started a family there was more born. Goten, Trunks, and your lying lovey dovey Gohan are half Sayian and half human. The powers, the flight, the impervious strength, the energy sensing, it's all of our natural race not yours. Piccolo is also an alien but not from our planet, from a far away place called Namek where we all had the pleasure to visit.
But I think the main thing you need to know VIDEL" as Vegeta began to finish his sentence, Videl turned around and took a long last look at Gohan. The alien boy she loved and lost, the alien boy that loved but lied to her. As each word was then spoken from Vegeta, her tears poured down a little bit harder and her heart broke a little bit deeper. "You are weak, you've ALWAYS been weak, you've been lied to, you have ALWAYS been lied to.
By your father, by your friends, by the world itself, and best of all by your love Gohan. He has been stronger then everyone on this planet since he was 5, you will never be in our leagues for you are not part of OUR WORLD. This is our world right where it should be ABOVE the false world of lies you live in, we have the real world. The real world that has been right in front of your faces, that you all have been just too stupid to notice" he finished.
With a matter of seconds Videl bolted towards the nearest exit around, Gohan went to her begging with tears already streaming as he grabbed her arm. She jerked it harshly away from him glaring back, a cold heartless stare. Those blue eyes that were filled with so much hope and beauty, were now filled with tears, pain, and most of all HATE. "I hate you Gohan.....get the hell away from me you.....freak," and with that Videl ran away forever.
A cold breeze of nightly chills filled the empty and hollow heart filled room, a thousand eyes and hearts broken into tears and sorrow for the poor boy. With in just a few days his whole life of love and hope was coldly destroyed, all because of his life. The life that he was born to hide and die in forever. Never able to bring another life into his, for it would only die as well. No voice or words could help Gohan, as he stood there watching, crying, dying.
to be continued....
