Silver Demon, Golden Knight
Chapter 6- Capture
Authors Note: Okay I should have said this earlier but there was no Buu and Goku never competed. To you FF.net readers I completely forgot! I finished long time ago but forgot to upload. Enjoy. Yeah yeah I know my demon info is wrong but forget about it and read it please?
"The best way to expel the demon is to kill its host."
That wiped off the eager look on Gohan's face. "K-kill the demon's host?" Gohan asked blankly.
"There is another way," Dende put in quickly. "An exorcism."
"I thought that stuff only worked in movies," Bulma put in.
"There is a small chance that it'll work and the demon will be immune to it forever if it doesn't work," Dende continued.
"Gohan the best way is to kil—"
"I'm not going to kill Videl!" Gohan said sternly.
Bulma threw up her arms. "Well what are we waiting for? Lets get Videl and do the exorcism!"
"It's not that easy," Dende said.
"Only a few Namek's had ever mastered the exorcism technique, and the last person was Guru," Piccolo said.
"What?!" Bulma exclaimed. "So you mean that—"
"No," Piccolo snpped mildly annoyed that Bulma was interrupting. "We can learn it however, with a book."
"The Book of Purification?" Dende asked.
Piccolo nodded. "But Piccolo the book has been lost for centuries!"
"No it hasn't," Piccolo said. "It's in Sector 324."
Bulma looked at Piccolo incredulously. "But that's all jungle,"
"Yeah, and that's not the worst part." Dende pointed out. "Sector 324 who would have thought it'd be there!"
Gohan was puzzled. What were they talking about? Dende noticed the look on Gohan's face. "Sector 324 is also called the Forbidden Jungle. It is only accessible by foot cause there is a 150-mile barrier blocking off any automobiles, magic and ki energy."
Bulma whistled. "200 miles? I never knew that there was that much open space anymore."
"I don't care," Gohan said. "It's our only choice."
Before Bulma could open her mouth Dende went into a room. Gohan and Bulma wondered where he went and were giving Dende questioning looks when he came out. It was a golden pendant with the eternal dragon engraved on it. "Take this," Dende said handing it to Gohan.
Gohan took it and looked at it. The pendant was pretty, but it didn't seem useful. "What is it for?"
"You need to find Videl and put this on her." Dende said. "It will keep the demon at bay until we are ready to do the exorcism, but only if she keeps it on."
Gohan nodded. "Thank you Dende," he said gratefully.
Dende nodded. "Find the book fast," Piccolo cut in. "The longer Videl's exposed to the demon, the smaller the chances are for a successful exorcism."
Bulma put her hand on Gohan's shoulder and smiled. "Lets go, Gohan." She said. "You have to find Videl."
Gohan nodded. "Bye Dende, Piccolo," he looked at each of them gratefully.
"Bye!" Dende said waving. Piccolo nodded slightly.
Gohan
and Bulma got into the plane and flew off into the distance.
* * * * *
"So it looks like you have a lot of packing to do, huh Gohan?" Bulma said as she was steering the plane.
"What?" Gohan had been looking at the pendant.
"Well two hundred miles is a long way to walk, even for a Sayian." Bulma pointed out.
"Don't worry," Gohan said. "I've been through this sort of thing before."
"Huh?" Bulma asked confused.
"When Piccolo started training, he just left me in the middle of nowhere to survive on my own. It was hard but I made it." Gohan replied.
"Lets hope Videl is up to a long walk too—I'm dropping you off at Satan City, is that alright with you." Bulma said suddenly turning.
"Yeah," Gohan nodded. Videl was sure to still be around there. "I feel her from here."
"What?" Bulma asked. "Don't tell me that Enjeli's that powerful?"
"No, it's not that, she's still just as powerful as she was before," Gohan said. "Enjeli's ki reminds me of Master Roshi's and maybe even the Eternal Dragon…it's ancient!"
Bulma shrugged making another turn. "Well that's good, we wouldn't want another Cell."
Gohan grunted. Cell, that name still made him mad.
"Sorry! That was so stupid of me!" Bulma said. "You okay?"
It took a while for Gohan to answer, he was that mad, but he finally answered. "Yes," he growled.
"Just checking," Bulma said. "We're almost there."
Gohan didn't answer. He had nothing to say. Videl and his dad…it was his entire fault. Every time someone had needed him, he had frozen, unable to do anything. He was a coward.
He gripped the pendant and to its surprise it was warm almost hot. What could it mean?
"Here we are," Bulma said pressing buttons.
The plane landed in a park, the picnickers scrambling to get a way from it. Bulma had said her goodbyes to Gohan and Gohan had gotten out of the plane. "Come by my house," Bulma said preparing to lift off again. "I'll help you pack."
"Thanks Bulma," Gohan said looking up at her.
Bulma ruffled his hair. "Go find your girlfriend."
Bulma shut the door and the plane rumbled to life and lifted off. Gohan waved until the plane was out of sight and looked around. The park was huge; it was one of the biggest parks in this district.
The pendant was still hot, and this time it was blinking. Gohan had an idea. He took a step north. The pendant started to blink slower. He stepped back and it went back to normal. He took a step east and the blinking grew faster. The pendant seemed to be some sort of radar. The more it blinked he guessed the closer he was to something, hopefully Enjeli.
He headed east and Gohan noticed that he was heading towards the pond. What would the demon be doing there? It was no time for second thoughts, Gohan thought as he looked at the glowing pendant. He was almost there.
This part of the park seemed empty, Gohan could feel Enjeli's evil ki strongly. He was close now. Gohan stepped into the pond area, a secluded pond surrounded by weeping willows. Brushing the branches of one of them he saw the Enjeli.
It was beautiful and horrifying at the same time. Enjeli was standing on the water in the middle of the pond her short black hair waving in the breeze. White, bloodstained feathers floating around her as she gazed at the sky in concentration.
Gohan was careful to be quiet. He couldn't let Enjeli get away. He stepped out near the pond. Enjeli didn't notice, she was still staring at the sky. He made a lunge for her but before he could grab her Enjeli flew up her wings flapping furiously. "You," she said.
Enjeli started to fly away but found herself to be facing Gohan. "W-what!" she stammered.
Enjeli threw a punch at Gohan. It hit him, it didn't do anything except shock Gohan, but he recovered and with one arm pulled her to him. It was a hard task to get the pendant on Enjeli; Enjeli was using her wings to her advantage pushing them into his face trying to get him to release her. Finally Gohan was able to swing the pendant on her neck. He released Enjeli who flapped her wings moving herself above Gohan. "What is this?" she screeched putting her hand on the pendant.
Enjeli was about to rip it off herself when the pendant flashed. She screamed and fell out of the sky. Gohan flew down and caught her just when she was about to hit the shallow pond. He stared into her eyes. They were starting to have life in them again. Enjeli was beginning to fade and Videl was coming back.
Gohan flew out of the pond to under a tree and set Videl gently on the grass. "Please," he whispered looking at Videl. "Let her be alright."
* * * * *
"Wha? Huh?" Videl yawned suddenly snapping back to reality.
The switch in control came so swiftly that Videl was struck numb for second, but Videl was getting used to herself again. She lifted herself up in a sitting position and realized that Gohan was right in front of her. He was staring at her with a look that she couldn't quite place. "Videl!" Gohan sobbed the wind was knocked out of Videl as Gohan hugged her.
She felt the heat rise up in her face as he was sobbing into her shirt. Gohan must have been worried, Videl sure as hell was. That thing…Enjeli. What had happened? "Gohan," Videl said gently pushing Gohan away from her.
Gohan stopped. "Sorry about your shirt," he apologized.
Videl shook her head giving him a mischievous smile. "It needed a wash."
They both laughed at the sudden reversal of roles. "Videl, I thought that you were gone!" Gohan said relieved.
Videl stood up but fell over again. "Damn wings!" she cursed.
Gohan helped Videl up. It was weird getting used to new weight that the wings added to her, but Videl managed to stand. "What happened? How did you stop her?"
"The pendant." Gohan said.
He had taken her hand and they were walking around so that Videl could get used to walking with wings. Videl's hand went to the pendant. It was warm and nice. Her hands closed over it. "Don't take it off," Gohan said sternly. "Or else Enjeli will get you again."
Videl nodded. She could still feel Enjeli's presence within her. "So how do I get Enjeli to stop messing around with me." Videl said. "The pendant is nice and all but…I want to have my body to myself."
Videl thought she saw Gohan flinch, but her eyes must have been seeing things. "We have to exorcise Enjeli out of you."
"W-what?!" Videl asked surprised. They stopped.
"It's the only way." Gohan insisted.
Videl found the idea of an exorcism scary and weird but she had to do it. "Okay, so how do we do it?"
