What If It Hadn't Happened?
Chapter 9
"Buu, stand aside for a moment," Babidi said, floating over.
"Why Buu no have fun?" Buu asked, puzzled.
"You will have fun, but I have just seen a golden opportunity," Babidi explained.
"Paparapapa!" he shouted, his eyes glowing red.
Gohan gasped, dropping out of all his Super Saiyan forms, back to normal. He screamed,
grabbing the sides of his head.
"Gohan, what's happening? Tell us!" Piccolo said.
"Something's...inside my head...it hurts! Dear Dende, it hurts," Gohan gasped out.
Piccolo flew down to Shin, seeing the Supreme Kai sit up. "Supreme Kai, I think
Babidi's trying to do something to Gohan!" he exclaimed, pointing towards the boy that
had just screamed in agony again.
"What?!? Impossible! Gohan has a pure heart! Babidi couldn't be taking control of
him," Shin said.
"Taking control? Like Spopovich and Yamu?" Piccolo asked, wincing as Gohan
screamed again.
"Yes," Shin replied before he flew up to Gohan. "Gohan, you've got to fight it! You're
stronger than him! You're innocent and pure!" he said, trying his hardest to get through
to Gohan.
"Innocent? I'm not innocent! I murdered my father!" Gohan retorted.
"Gohan, your father chose to do what he did, for Earth! It was in no way your fault,"
Vegeta argued.
"It was my fault! I could've stopped Cell! But I didn't, and Dad died. I killed him,"
Gohan replied.
"Gohan, you taught me about love, friendship, and trust. If it weren't for you, I would
still be evil. Your heart is too pure to be taken over like this," Piccolo said, but Gohan
just ignored him, screaming again. He went to level one, trying to fight Babidi's mind
trap.
"He needs the girl," Vegeta said quietly.
"Videl?" Piccolo asked.
"Yes," Vegeta explained, "I was walking down the hallway at CC, when I heard the two
of them have a fight. I couldn't understand all of it, but Gohan yelled something about
the Cell Games and being a murderer, and Videl ran out, saying she hated him. The girl
is the only one who can stop this darkness from consuming him. He's acting like this
because he doesn't have her anymore."
"Alright, I'll get her," Piccolo declared, blasting off in the direction of Capsule Corp.
"Gohan, you have the blood of a Saiyan running through your veins. You will not be a
puppet of some wizard," Vegeta commanded.
"I'm trying!" Gohan snapped. He went to level two, trying to get rid of the pain. The
Majin 'M' was magically branded into his forehead, and the intensity of his screams
increased.
"Gohan, you can beat Babidi! You can beat him!" Shin encouraged.
"It is futile to fight it, boy. You are under my control, now," Babidi declared.
Gohan shrieked again, going to level three, the evil-tainted energy more than he could
handle. It seared his skin, but left no mark. Vegeta and Shin were thrown backwards,
and even Buu was moved back a bit. Gohan forced himself back down to level two,
before the immense power destroyed his body in its already unstable condition.
Vegeta flew over to him and said, "Gohan, you must free yourself. If not for us, if not for
yourself, then for your father. He wouldn't want you to let yourself be controlled, and he
didn't blame you for what happened. He was really very proud of you that day."
Gohan flared his aura, sending Vegeta flying as he snarled, "Get away from me!" He
panted for breath, falling the large distance to the ground. Landing painfully on his
knees, he pulled at his hair, trying to distract himself from the battle raging in his head.
"Gohan!"
Gohan looked up, seeing Videl land next to him through blurry eyes.
"Gohan," Videl said, dropping to her knees next to him. Gohan bit his lip and closed his
eyes, letting out a whimper of pain.
"Gohan, it wasn't your fault. You didn't kill him," Videl said, rubbing his back.
"It's no use lying for me. I killed him. I killed my dad," Gohan replied as he jerked
away from her.
"Gohan, please! You can beat this! I want the old Gohan back," Videl begged quietly.
Gohan growled and asked, "Why do you even care what happens to me? You hate me."
Tears rolled freely down Videl's cheeks as she said, "Gohan, I don't hate you. I didn't
mean what I said, and I'm sorry. I care because I love you."
"Y-you do?" Gohan asked, his green eyes going wide.
"More than you'll ever know," Videl replied. The 'M' on Gohan's forehead disappeared,
and the terrible pain faded along with it. He powered down to normal, and Videl jumped
into his arms, hugging him hard. Gohan gratefully accepted the kiss she gave him, and
deepened it.
"I love you, too, Videl," he whispered.
Above them, Babidi stuttered out, "B-but...but h-how? N-no one h-has ever escaped m-
my control! It is impossible!"
"Videl, I'm sorry for what I said before. I didn't mean it," Gohan said, regret filling his
voice.
"It's okay, Gohan," Videl said, stroking his cheek.
"I'm sorry for breaking up you nice moment, but Buu's still here," Piccolo said, pointing
upwards.
Buu had watched the whole ordeal silently, and when Babidi said, "Buu, kill them, now,"
he replied with, "No. Killing bad. Love good, friends good. Buu want friends, but if
Buu kill, Buu get no friends."
"What do you mean you won't kill them?" Babidi demanded.
"Buu no kill," the blob stated simply. He floated downward and landed near Gohan and
Videl.
"You mean, you don't want to hurt anyone anymore?" Gohan asked.
"Buu be good! If Buu good, Buu make friends!" Buu answered.
"If you're good, we'll be your friends," Videl said.
Buu nodded enthusiastically and said, "Buu be good, Buu be good!"
"Now, as for our other friend here..." Vegeta trailed off, looking at Gohan expectantly.
With a sigh, Gohan said, "Go ahead." Within minutes, Babidi, thanks to Vegeta, was no
more than a pile of ashes, blowing away in the wind. The 'transmission' the wizard was
making was abrubtly cut off, one of the affects of the Galick Gun.
So, they flew back, Shin, Piccolo, and Buu leading the way, followed by Gohan and
Videl, who might as well have been one person, their hands were clasped together so
tightly, flying nearly on top of each other. Vegeta had sped off, his kind side lost again
as the arrogant prince part of him returned.
"Thanks for everything, Videl. If it weren't for you, I would be...on his side," Gohan
said with a shudder.
"I wouldn't let him do that to you. You're already mine," Videl said, flying over and
lightly brushing her lips against his.
"Well, I guess in the long run, you're a better 'owner' than him," Gohan pointed out.
Videl punched his arm and said, "Hey, that's not funny! I would hate it if Babidi had
taken control of you."
"I'm just trying to lighten the mood," Gohan said.
They soon arrived back at Capsule Corp., and were met by everyone else, who had been
waiting outside.
Gohan got a bone-crushing hug from his mother, who moved on to Videl, saying, "You
saved my baby! Thank you, Videl!"
"Chi-Chi...can't *cough, cough*...c-can't breathe!" Videl gasped.
"Um, Mom? I think your choking Videl," Gohan pointed out.
Chi-Chi let go of the beet-red (form lack of air) girl, who gasped for breath, rubbing her
neck. "Oops. Sorry, Videl," Chi-Chi said. But no sooner had Videl said, "It's okay,"
then Goten tackled her in a huge hug, along with Gohan.
"Goten! Why'd you do that?" Gohan scolded.
"I'm sorry, Gohan. I was just worried about you and Videl, and now I'm really glad to
see you guys," Goten said, frowning, because he had made his brother mad.
"It's okay, bro. But next time I nearly get my mind taken over, don't tackle me before
I've had a chance to rest, okay?" Gohan asked, patting Goten's head.
"Okay, Gohan," Goten said.
"Which reminds me. Gohan, I want you to go to bed right now! You've had to do a lot
of fighting today, so you must be exhausted," Chi-Chi suggested...AKA ordered.
"Okay, Mom," Gohan said, realizing he was too tired to put up a fight.
"Ha ha! Gohan has to go to b-b-b" Goten began, but was stopped by a huge yawn.
"You too, young man. It's getting late," Chi-Chi added. Both the son boys trudged
toward the CC building as the others decided to sleep as well.
"Hey, Bulma, where do you want me to sleep?" Videl asked, walking over to the blue-
haired genius.
Chi-Chi, who was standing next to Bulma, said, "I have just the place. Come with me."
She led Videl to the house, and the younger woman missed the smirk Chi-Chi gave
Bulma.

In the next chapter of WIIHH?: Knock knock. Gohan opened the door, coming face to
face with his mother and his girlfriend.

"Buu mad!" the pink blob shouted, steam coming out of the holes covering his pink skin,
as he literally blew his top.
