Silver Demon, Golden Knight

Chapter 4: Enticement

I will help you let go of your pain…

There was only a week left until the beginning of finals and all the teachers were handing out packet after packet of things they should study. Eraser and Videl came out of science class looking grim. "Six hundred questions!" Eraser exclaimed. "He said we're only having a hundred on the quiz and he makes us do six hundred! How fair is that."

"I guess he's still bitter from that little prank that the class did on him last month." Videl said as a matter of factly.

"Well he doesn't have to do get back at us that way!" Eraser said waving her hefty packet. "I mean I know he doesn't have a life but the rest of us do!"

"Not me," Videl said. "I'm going to do the packet."

Eraser shrugged. "Oy! I mean Videl, you always think your going to fail and then you ace all the tests! Relax…its not the end of the world if you don't score a perfect on all your tests."

They reached their lockers. Eraser dumped all her books in. It looked like she wasn't planning on studying at all that night. On the other hand Videl stuffed 3 books in her backpack. "Maybe you should be the one freaking out Eraser," she said. "I haven't seen you study since that time at Gohan's house."

Eraser smirked. "Don't worry, I'll study, at the night before like I always do!" she said. "Speaking of Gohan…what's up with him, he's been acting weird the whole day!"

Videl blushed slightly. "Well, I don't know anything," she lied.

Eraser lifted an eyebrow. "Just because I'm a blonde doesn't mean I'm stupid!"

Videl looked at her with mock horror. "How dare you!" she said airily. "Are you suspecting something about me and Gohan."

"Yes!"

Videl hoped that her face didn't look as how she felt. "Well…"

"Hey Videl!"

The two girls turned around. "Well speak of the devil…" Eraser said.

Gohan looked confused. "Don't mind her Gohan," Videl said nudging Eraser with her elbow. "Did you get the packet?"

Gohan rolled his eyes. "Yeah I did!" he replied. "I'd understand if it was 300 maybe even 400, but 600's a bit too much."

Eraser's jaw dropped to the floor. Videl laughed. "What?" Gohan asked innocently.

"Nothing Gohan," Videl said fondly.

"Videl! I wanted to ask you something."

Her face must have been red, because Videl felt the heat rising up in her face. "Uh…I have to go Gohan, but I'll see you later maybe?"

Videl hurried away towards the door blushing furiously.

*        *        *        *        *

Flying had always made Videl feel light and air headed.  It was like a drug, but no side effects.  She sometimes dozed off, not exactly asleep but more like daydreaming. This time when she went into the dreamlike state she heard the voice again.

You are afraid to trust and so you cannot love.

Blood and feathers marked the arrival of the voice. Videl had not gotten used to it.

Shit! Why can't you get out of my head?

You are afraid that once you let someone into your heart, they will betray you like your mother.

Laughter. Sickening and enticing at the same time.

You aren't strong enough to take the pain again…come girl…leave everything to me. I will help you let go of your pain. All you have to do is come.

*        *        *        *        *

          Videl snapped back into reality. She had missed the city by miles. Videl shook her head trying to clear her thoughts. She could sense the voice in her head. It was like someone was sharing her thoughts. "I have to do something about this," Videl said.

          Was something really wrong with her? It couldn't be. Maybe it was just worry from the finals. Nothing was wrong with her, she just needed to relax…

          *Beep* *Beep* Videl's watch went off. "What?" Videl asked.

          "Remember that robbery the other day?" the voice from the watch said.

          How could she forget? "What happened Chief?" she asked again.

          The chief went into an explanation on how the group that the last two men had belonged to was trying to finish the job. Videl could barely remember the other time even though it was a day ago. She remembered a strange feeling, as if she had lost complete control of her body and then she awoke in Gohan's house. It was weird, but she had to go help the police force. Videl would try and remember later. She changed direction and she headed towards the shopping district.

*        *        *        *        *

          "Hey," Videl said as she landed in front of the store. "How's it going?"

          The chief looked tired. "It's at a stand still," he replied. "We can't go in and they can't go out, but they have weapons now so be careful."

          Videl nodded taking a deep breath.  This was like the Red shark gang, a big organization that meant business. It was going to be a hard one, but she was sure that she'd get through it.

*        *        *        *        *

The boss of the gang was favoring his right arm as he oversaw the loading of weapons in to the truck. A bullet from one of the police officers gun had just grazed it. Those bastards the man thought as he faced towards the exit where the police had currently stationed themselves. When we get out of here they're all dead.

His thoughts were interrupted by a sudden crash as two of the men who were holding a crate of weapons were knocked unconscious. It was a girl. A teenage girl about 17 or 18 with short hair, he had never seen her before. "Who are you?" the man asked.

"You won't need to know after I'm through with you," the girl said.

"Oooh!" his men had taken that as a diss to the boss. The boss's right hand instinctively went to his gun and the boss flinched.

"When you get to jail they might fix that," the girl said again going into a fighting stance.

"You don't know what your getting into," the boss said taking out another gun with his left hand. It was wobbly he wasn't quite as used to using a weapon with his left hand, but it would have to do.

"I should say the same thing," the girl snapped. "You better just turn yourself in."

*        *        *        *        *

Videl's eyes narrowed as the boss laughed. He made a wave with his gun signaling that his men should get out of the way. The men all jumped behind a shelf taking in excited voice to each other. Then the boss faced Videl gave her another look over and then threw his gun to the ground.

That's one big mistake pal, she thought smiling inwardly. This would be easier than she thought. "Anytime," Videl said feigning impatience.

The boss stuck first, he charged at her giving Videl a kick towards her head. Videl raised her arms deflecting the attack and was pushed back a bit. She leaped down tripping the man.

The man was fast, even with one of his arms hurt. He got up and swung a punch with his left hand. Videl grabbed his fist twisted and has going to heave him over when all of a sudden she felt his right fist go into her stomach. Videl abruptly released her hold on the man the wind knocked out of her.

She had not expected the man to use his right arm, and she had also overestimated the wound too. It still hurt, she noticed as the man also paused wincing. Videl jumped up and leapt over behind him and dug her knee into his back. The man stumbled over and grabbed her knee before she could get off and slammed Videl into the ground.

Videl spit out blood, getting up as quickly as she could. She was already breathing hard. Her energy was not as it usually was especially since for a long time she had gone without sleep. Videl wondered how long she could last if the fight stayed her opponents favor.

"Had enough little girl," the man taunted.

Videl cracked her knuckles. "Just getting started," she said.

This time she charged towards the man and slid into his feet again. He fell over on his back. Not giving him a chance to get up she was on him punching his face. "Give…up…now!" she yelled giving him three punches. She stopped and put a palm to his neck.

"No." suddenly a gun was pointed at Videl's head.

Videl kept her hand on his neck. She knew that he would pull the trigger if she tried anything.

You are defeated! It was the voice again. Videl growled pushing down more on his neck. "I could crush you before you would shoot me." She said.

It was the biggest lie and the boss must have known. "Wanna bet?" he asked.

Videl jumped off him just as he pulled the trigger. It had missed her head but had gotten her in her chest. Videl gasped in shock and then fell to the ground. The man got up rubbing his neck gingerly amidst the cheers of his lackeys, while Videl lay there helpless.

"Not so cocky now huh girl?" the man said who was towering above her.

Videl spit into his face. She regretted that decision immediately. The man kicked her into the wall. Videl was coughing blood now.

So this is it, Videl thought grimly. This is how it all ends. I wasn't strong…

Come to me…

I might as well die.

You can't take the pain, come to me and I will help you let go of you pain.

Yes…Videl barely managed a nod, but that was all it took. She felt her body go numb. It was like that other time in class she had lost control of her body again. She could still see, she could still smell the smell of a dying person, she still felt her own blood staining her shirt, but she couldn't move, even if she wanted to. She felt another presence there it was another person. Two minds in one body.

What is this? Videl said feeling more helpless than she had already felt.

It'll all be over soon… the voice said. The other mind in had gotten control.

*        *        *        *        *

The boss had forgotten about the girl. She was probably dead for all he cared. His men had finished the loading of weapons and they were ready to leave. "Good job men!" he said. "The bi*ch will be proud."

The last thing the boss saw was his men cheering, before everything went black.

*        *        *        *        *

[Authors note: If Enjeli's in control then Videl will also be known as her so bear w/ me. It'll stop getting so confusing later]

It was the girl. She had touched their boss and their boss slumped to the ground. The men took out their weapons but none was ready to shoot. They saw the same girl, but that wasn't possible. How could she have gotten up after their boss had shot her?

Videl heard herself laugh, and then she heard words that she would have never say come out. "You peons! You are worthless, I should kill you right now!"

She saw the men back away from her. Videl felt weird. Her body was building up…energy. It was like the first time she tried to fly but this was different.

Then there was a white flash and all of the men were on the ground in the same state as their boss.

"Hey it's Saiyaman!" voices from outside, from the police. The men went forward towards her. Then Videl saw Gohan as Saiyaman appear.

"V-Videl?!" Gohan said gawking at her.

Gohan! Videl tried to say, but her mouth wouldn't move.

Enjeli has control now… she, Videl knew it was a girl, said.

"Oh Gohan!" she heard Enjeli say.

Then her legs were moving towards Gohan. Gohan started to speak but was cut off by her lips going to his. What are you doing! Videl screamed trying to move herself away from Gohan. It was no use. Enjeli or whoever she was, was in control now.
