~Teen Love: Chapter 4~
Gohan continued searching for a power, a speck, anything that he could conclude as evidence to a evil force at work. Nothing ever showed though, not even a blip like a radar. Yet something was taking the lives of innocents. He could feel it in the pit of his stomach and it hurt each time he thought of how helpless they were. After nearly a half an hour of scanning, over and over again, he figured it would be best to wait for the others.
Gohan knew Vegeta since he was 5, weather he was his enemy or ally. Always a strong fighter and a flaring temper, Vegeta was someone you don't want to mess with. It was strange kind of. Vegeta, as cold as he seemed, and twice as bitter. Yet he still cared for his family. His wife, Bulma. Gohan knew since he was 4. Also he has two Children. Trunks, another exceptional fighter for his age is always hanging around with Goten. And then Bra, there new born.
Vegeta wore what Gohan considered a mask to hide his feelings. Often. a scowl, if not a smirk of anger. But since his daughter, Vegeta had become a little light hearted toward his family. He has a hatred for Gohan though, and his late father, Goku.
Goku and Vegeta had been arch rivals since they first fought, being exact opposites of each other. Goku, kind hearted, loving and carrying. Vegeta, bitter, cold, and .livid. Once Bulma almost forced him to even take anger management classes. And that was before they were married.
Goku was a caring and loving father. Gohan looked up to him, to teach him how to fight and how to reflect to situations. Gohan had an out of controlled temper, possibly worse then Vegeta's. His father and Piccolo changed that, training him and teaching him how to be a warrior. About two years ago he became even stronger when he obtained a level that is only know as "Mystic".
As Gohan sat and thought about these things when there was a flash of darkness, of evilness and another power. Gohan spun, looking away from his house. The evil power dwarfed the light that it was almost completely masked by it. Then in another second it was gone. The evil and the good but just died away a second after they appeared. One he recognized and it scared him to death.
"No.." He said and looked down at the ground. "Videl." His voiced trailed. He had to go, the others would have to figure out what was happening on their own. He burst into he sky flying as fast as he cold, strait to Satan City. Hoping, praying with his life that Videl was still alive and breathing. He glimpsed a cloud of smoke in the distance and continued flying. He was almost there, his cloths rippled in the wind, he let a slight grunt and a stream of light flashed over him, changing his clothes into his training and fighting Gi. He was going to need them.
As he approached the city, the damage was devastating. Everything was in ruins or burning to the ground. Nothing was left standing aside from a few small buildings. It looked like a ghost town. Gohan felt like throwing up, the smell of burning flesh and bone filled the air. It was nauseating, trying to hide his ill feeling he searched for Videl.
"Come on Videl! Where are you!" He yelled at himself. She had to be alright, she had to. "I shouldn't of yelled at you." He kept telling himself in his mind. "Please be alright." He continued to think but knew that something had to of happened. What ever he felt, it was like balling up all the evil from any monster he head fought before and mashing it all into the same being. "Maybe Vegeta and the others felt it. Maybe there on there way here." He searched some more, walking slowly and keeping his guard up. A chunk of rubble to his right moved slightly, it was a large slab of cement. Gohan looked at it for a second, perplexed and ready to fight he took a stance. It moved again as Gohan tried to search a power from it. Then it hit him.
"VIDEL!" He screamed. Her life energy was little more then nothing as he ran and tore the slab away. Videl was buried in smaller chunks of rubble, her clothes ripped and her hand she was pushing against the slab with was coated with blood. Gohan pulled her away from the rubble, tears in his face. Something had beaten her with in inches of her life. Videl looked at him with one eye, her other almost swelled shut. Blood tricked from the side of her head and more from her nose, eye, mouth, and cheeks. He looked down at her, pleading that she would survive. Videl looked back, unable to speak even. Her ribs were crushed and splintered; one lung couldn't even take in any air. She reached a blood hand up, placing it against Gohan's cheek. It slid off his face and a tear formed in her eye. It trickled down her cheek softly, mixing with blood it ran down the side of her face, her eyes shut and opened. Dazed and not knowing what to do Gohan did the only thing he could think of. He spoke from his heart.
"I love you Videl." He said. His words were clear enough that Videl could hear them but soft enough to feel his pain and anger swelling. Videl looked at him, his tears dropped on her torn shirt. She smiled lightly and opened her mouth as to speak. No words escaped but her lips moved. Gohan read them clearly.
"I Love you" Was what he read. He smiled down on her like an angle from above, he began trembling with fear and bit his lip. Leaning down to Videl, he kissed her softly. As he pulled away he felt sick. He wished that Videl was fine, that they were in the forest, lying down together, laughing and giggling with one another, now and then sharing a kiss, like they were only little more then an hour ago. Hot tears streamed down his face, he felt utterly helpless. All this power and strength; he's saved millions before but now he can't save a single life. And she right here to, in his arms. And all he can do is watch her die.
Gohan wished he was the one lying in the ground, in intense pain, and dieing slowly. Every second ticked away was like a blow to Videl, every monument he looked into her eyes, she looked back, as if to say "everything is going to be all right" but he knew it wasn't. He knew that with out any help she would die in his arms. He could try to get some help, but what if he was too late? What if Videl died alone, with out him while he tried to get something to help her. That was Videl's only fear. She's always told Gohan she wanted to die in the arms of the person she loved. Now it looked like that was going to happen.
Videl gasped in pain. Her breathing became stronger and more violent. She let out a long scream and clutched her ribs, the bleeding over her face became stronger and Gohan whipped it away, crying still. Just as things began to look there worst a voice rang from behind Gohan. It was gruff and sour, like that of a large man.
"Give her this. It will help." Gohan spun around, tears from his face were sent flying from him like liquid crystals in the sun light. Vegeta was standing behind him, he held a small container with some sort of medicine.
"She's got to drink the whole thing" he said as Gohan grabbed the bottle from him. He opened the cap and brought one arm behind Videl to hold her up, she screamed in pain. Gohan tipped the bottle to her lips.
"Drink." He commanded, not even knowing what the substance was but not caring. If it would save Videl then it didn't matter, did it? Videl gulped down a little of it sorely, she tried again but almost chocked on the second swallow. Vegeta watched unemotionally at her. It didn't matter to him if she died or not but if she lived then they could find out what had attacked her. It obviously wasn't around anymore and if it was they would of sensed it.
As Videl drank the last of the medicine, Gohan tossed the small container away and locked his eyes on Videl. She breathed heavily and continued to bleed. Nothing seemed to change aside from the fact that she wasn't screaming so much in pain. For a moment Videl opened her eyes. The left had stopped swelling and was almost back to normal, she looked at Gohan for a single second then passed out in his arms.
"Videl!?" Gohan yelled and shook her. Vegeta placed his hand on Gohan's shoulder, signing him to stop.
"She will live. What did this to her?" Gohan whipped away his tears and lifted up Videl gently.
"I don't know. Dud you feel its power too?" He looked at Vegeta.
"Yes. It was like Majin Buus, only worse. Everything in this city is dead. What ever it was killed them all and left." Vegeta said. He could sense nothing other then themselves. The sudden realization hit Gohan. EVERYTHING. His friends all lived here, his school was here. Millions of innocents, all gone for some evil purpose. He felt sick again. He tried to think of something else.
"Where's Trunks and Goten?" he asked.
"I made them stay back. They wouldn't stand a chance against this being alone." He said sternly.
"What if they fused though? Gotenks?" Gohan asked. I wondered if Vegeta had even thought of that. He had.
"There power isn't equal, the fusion would fail and they would be destroyed" Something in Vegetas voice mad him smile. The way he said that made him think that maybe he did have deeper feeling for others. They took to the sky and headed for the CC building. Gohan looked at the severely beaten Videl in his arms and smiled. "She's make it." He told himself.
Gohan continued searching for a power, a speck, anything that he could conclude as evidence to a evil force at work. Nothing ever showed though, not even a blip like a radar. Yet something was taking the lives of innocents. He could feel it in the pit of his stomach and it hurt each time he thought of how helpless they were.
