Chapter 6 Gohan's Sword
11th of April 778 Sunday 1:23pm The New Briefs Mansion
Bra opened the door to the rainforest room. "Be careful," said Bra. "There are a lot of dangerous animals here,"
"Nothing I can't handle," said Sharpner.
"Didn't you learn anything from my brother? You're arrogance wi." but Bra was cut off.
"will be my down fall. I know I know," said Sharpner. "But come on this is a bunch of animal's here."
"These animals have been genetically enhanced," said Bulma. "Whoever they fight they become stronger then. Making them unbeatable. However, we did alter them again. When their fighting someone it takes time for them to become stronger. It's kind of a technique for the animals. And other modification is that the animals are gentle as can be. Unless you provoke them, then they'll act normal and attack,"
Just then a large gorilla came walking by. He was about the size of a tank. "Everyone meet, Kakarrot," said a young voice behind the gorilla.
Behind the gorilla stepped out the boys named Son Goten and Trunks Briefs, both wearing their normal gi's. "Hey guys," said Videl.
"Hey," they both said in perfect unison.
"Whoa," was all Hercule and Sharpner could say.
"Don't worry," said Goten. "Unless you tick him off, he's as gentle as real gorilla."
"Real gorilla's aren't gentle," said Sharpner.
"Your pathetic Sharpner. You've seen to many King Kong movies. In nature, there isn't a more gentle animal," said Trunks.
Sharpner blushed in embarrassment. 'Damn kid. Making me look stupid in front of Videl' Sharpner mentally growled.
"Would you guys like to see the other animal," asked Goten.
"Sure," said Lutop.
Goten and Trunks led them to a lake. Around the lake were all these animals. All of them were larger then what they would be in the wild. "This is Bardock," said Trunks pointing at the Crocodile. "And this is Chichi (fox), Vegeta (tiger), Ox King (Bull), Tien (bear), Yamcha (wolf), Krillen (Chimpanzee) and Goku (lion)," said Trunks.
The lion advanced on Sharpner, who of corse, was scared shitless. "Keep it away," screamed Sharpner who ran behind Goten.
The lion just looked clueless, shrugged (?) and moved to Videl. At first Videl was afraid, but then she could see that the lion meant no harm. Then she petted her. He seemed to like that. "He likes you Videl," said Goten with Sharpner still quivering in fear behind him.
As Videl patted the lion, he seem to smile. Or what passed as a smile for a lion. "They all have weird names," said Videl.
"They're named after friends and allies," said Bulma. "The lion is named after Gohan's father,"
"Gohan's fathers was named Goku," said Lutop.
"Yes and the strangest thing is that the animals all seem to act like the person they're named after," said Bulma. "Goku and Kakarrot is all sweet and gentle but very strong. Chichi has incredible mood swings. Tien acts serious and tough. Yamcha loves to chase things and is sort of the peace maker. All Vegeta does is hunt/train to become stronger. All the Ox King wants to do is eat. Krillen is easily intimidated. And Bardock is very clever."
"Let me fight one. I'll beat it easy," said Hercule.
"Yeah right." said Bra.
Everyone except Bulma stared at her. "Excuse me. I am Hercule! The strongest man in the universe! I don't think this animal could even pose a threat," said Hercule.
Lutop, Videl and Sharpner all nodded in agreement. "OK Hercule, two things. One. If you don't beat these animals within ten minutes then they crush you," said Bra. " and second, just because you beat cell does not make you the strongest man in the universe. For all you know there might be warriors that can destroy planets in a breath."
"Yeah right. Like that will ever happen." said Hercule.
Bra and Bulma smirked at each other knowingly. "Well if you want to fight one of the animals, then you can fight Kakarrot," said Bra.
"OK," said Hercule confidently.
Hercule walked up to the tank sized gorilla and punch him in the face. Hercule was shocked to learn that the gorilla was only slightly dazed. Then the gorilla lifted his arm up, grabbed Hercule by the collar and through him into a tree. Lutop, Sharpner and Videl ran over to him to see if he was all right. "Nice try Hercule, but you shouldn't have tried the sneak attack. The animals don't like it when you sneak up on them," said Bulma.
'And this is the guy who people think saved the world. How pathetic. I think next time we'll just get Kakarrot to save the world' thought Bra. "Well let's go to the next room now," said Bra. "And you two," she pointed at Hercule and Sharpner. "Stop picking fights ok. If you do your going to have a lot of injuries."
They walked out of the rainforest room. Videl noticed a room that said "GRAVITY CHAMBER". "Bulma," said Videl.
"Hmmm."
"What's that room," said Videl.
"That's one of the most dangerous rooms. It produces artificial gravity, which makes your body feel very heavy," said Bulma. "For safety reasons, we don't let just anyone train there."
"But I can train there right," said Hercule.
Bulma shook her head. "I'm sorry but it's broken and I haven't had time to fix it."
"Damn right woman," came a gruff voice behind them.
They turned around to see to Vegeta. "Hey dad," said Bra.
"Hello sweetie," said Vegeta (I cant imagine Vegeta calling anyone 'sweetie').
"Where's Gohan," asked Bulma.
"Still in the weaponry and he's pretty pissed. He can't find his favourite sword. You know, the one his baka father gave him for his eleventh birthday."
"OK, thanks Vegeta," said Bulma.
Vegeta just growled and walked off. Bra led them to the room that said 'WEAPONRY'. When she opened the door they saw nothing but darkness. "I'll go in first to make sure it's safe," said Sharpner.
Videl just rolled her eyes as he walked into the lightless room. "That's not such a sma-," started Bra but was cut off by a girl-like scream. They rushed in and Bulma turned on the lights.
There they saw Sharpner with his eyes looking up at a spear that was above his head by 4 millimetres. "Holy fucking shit," whispered Hercule.
"What are you doing here," came the young and powerful voice of Son Gohan.
Gohan was wearing a different gi this time. It was navy blue with black boots. It also had a white sash and wristbands. Videl had to admit that in a gi, he looked really. hot. "Well," said Gohan.
"We're showing them around," said Bra.
"Well if your going to look around at least help me find my sword," said Gohan growling.
"What's so good about it anyway? It's just a sword," said Sharpner. Big mistake.
Before anyone could foretell what would happen, Gohan had pulled another sword out and cut off a strand of Sharpner's hair. Sharpner let out another girlish scream and Videl and Bra giggled. "That sword was the last thing my father gave me before he died. He forged it himself," sneered Gohan.
"If the sword is so important to you, then why didn't you turn the light on to look for it," said Sharpner.
"Training. But I couldn't find it so I was going to turn the light on when you came in," growled Gohan.
Suddenly Videl noticed a sword up in a dark corner. "Gohan. Does this sword have a dragon like handle that's golden, a silver blade, diamond in the mouth of the dragon and a ruby, a emerald and a sapphire in the bottom of the hilt," she said.
"Yes. Why."
"Because it's up there," she said pointing to the magnificent weapon.
Gohan looked up at there he saw the dragon handled sword. 'What. How the hell could she find it so quickly when I've been looking for an hour and a half? Maybe she is stronger then we think. Yes I can feel her now. If she were to train under any of the Z warriors she could easily become the strongest earthling. But how did it get up there. I bet it was M.T. Grrr I'll kill him' thought Gohan carefully to himself just in case M.T. was trying to hear him. "Thank you for finding my sword," grumbled Gohan.
"Your welcome Gohan," said Videl smirking.
Gohan was going an angry red in his face. Probably from showing gratitude. He growled. Then Hercule remembered something. "Hey you're the one that gave my little girl a black eye."
"Yeah, so," grunted Gohan.
"So. You should be taught a lesson for punching my little girl," growled Hercule arrogantly.
Videl just rolled eyes. 'Here he goes again. Protecting his little girl and pounding every guy that lays a finger on me. Maybe something will come out of this and Gohan will be a little less arrogant' Videl thought to herself. "Your daughter is capable of looking after herself, and doesn't need an over-protective father like you," growled Gohan.
Everyone looked shocked. Gohan complimenting someone? He really encouraged or complimented anyone unless they had done something really hard or whatever.
"Now. If you would mind I've got training to do," growled Gohan.
"What are you training for," asked Lutop.
"The World Martial Arts Tournament," stated Gohan.
"Then why are you training with weapons," sneered Sharpner.
"Some of these weapons are very heavy. Plus using weapons can improve a warriors focus," said Gohan.
"So. Your going to fight in the WMAT, right," said Hercule.
"Right," said Gohan simply.
"Ha. I'll kick your ass. After all, your so skinny you would have problems lifting a twig," roared Hercule.
"You're a bigger fool that I thought you were. You never judge a warrior by what they look like," said Gohan.
"Oh yeah. At the WMAT I'll beat you into a pulp with strength to spare," yelled Hercule.
"That's what Videl said to me when we first met," said Gohan.
Hercule looked at Videl, who just shrugged. "Now. Go. Away," roared Gohan.
They all ran out. "Is he always like this," asked Lutop.
Bulma and Bra nodded. "The only one he treats with respect is his brother. Sometimes Goten can blow up tons of thing yet Gohan will just hug him," said Bra. "He gives me and Trunks similar treatment, but not as good as Goten. He never feels the wrath of Gohan."
"Well lets go to the last two rooms," said Bulma (I ran out of ideas of the other rooms so I just 6 rooms one weaponry and a break room. I might come up with some overs later).
"Mom," said Bra. "The last rooms are the Hell House and the Hyperbolical Time Chamber." (That's right they have their own HTC)
Bulma's face paled. "Ok then we better go get dinner then," said Bulma.
"Don't worry Bulma. I can handle anything," said Hercule arrogantly.
Bulma's faces then became stern. "No. Those rooms are the most dangerous rooms and are only used in times for extreme training. Any one who goes in there will come out injured," said Bulma.
"But I-" but Hercule was cut off by Bulma.
"You fool. It doesn't matter who or what you are those rooms are dangerous now lets go." And with that she walked off.
"Come on,' said the miniature version of Bulma. "Let's go."
Then they all walked to the dinning room.

During dinner, Videl chose to set in between Gohan and M.T. she would rather sit next to them then Sharpner. "Hey Gohan," whispered Videl.
"What," snapped Gohan.
"What are the Hell House and the Hyperbolical Chamber like and what do they do," asked Videl.
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me," said Gohan eating some beef.
"I promise I won't make any comments or anything," said Videl.
"Fine I guess it won't hurt," said Gohan. "The Hyperbolical Time Chamber is the second most dangerous room. The gravity is more intense, the air is thicker and the weather can change in a matter a minutes."
"What do you mean by that," asked Videl.
"One minute it can be scorching hot, the next it can be so cold that your hands freeze off. Also there is an endless nothing. If you lose sight off the entrance, you'll likely be lost forever," said Gohan.
"And the Hell House," said Videl.
"The most dangerous training facility in the universe. It is just a nickname. Its true name is Dariongal. It comes from the native language of Vegeta's home land," said Gohan.
"He's a foreigner?" asked Videl.
Gohan snorted. "You could say that. Anyway it means place of fear and nightmares. It can make your worst dreams a reality. It can create warriors of nightmares stronger then you. All in all, we don't use it all that often."
"Why,"
"We all went in there once. We came out alive. Just. Trunks, Goten and Bra insisted that they were all right but Bulma banned them from the Hell House anyway. That's how I got this scar," said Gohan pointing to the scar on his arm.
"What about that one," asked Videl pointing to the scar on his face?
"I gave that to myself. I used the sword that you found today," said Gohan as he shovelled down some rice.
Videl decided to leave at that. Dinner came and went, then the Satan's and Sharpner left to their own homes. When Videl was in bed she thought about what Gohan had told her about the Hell House. It could create warriors that could defeat you easily. It could make you face your greatest fear. 'Ha. I wouldn't have a problem, in that room. After all, I'm not afraid of anything' thought Videl. She would have gone straight to sleep, if it had not been the eerie voice in her head that said. 'Everyone is afraid of something Videl. And we will make you realise your true fear' then the voice faded with an evil laugh.
