Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z or any of its characters. I also do not own the book Prophecy from which part of my idea comes from. I borrowed the mother's name from Escaflowne, which I also do not own, because I don't know her real name. By the way, the Saiyaman Saga never happened, but Buu will appear later on. Videl is a full blood Saiyajin.

Chapter Six
Attack
It has been a year and a half since Gohan and Videl bonded and became mates. Everything is peaceful and quiet, with the exception of the occasional Oozaru rampage. Gohan and Videl have grown closer and closer with each passing day. They are to the point that they can hear each other's heartbeats on opposite sides of the planet.
'Everything is so peaceful,' Videl thought to herself one night as she stood out on their balcony, 'I'm bored to death of peace.'
She suddenly felt two very large ki signatures spike up. One she knew, by heart, as Gohan's and the other was pure evil. Videl shivered as she realized that it was almost just like Freesia's. Freesia was dead, Gohan had told her so, and so was King Cold. A sudden explosion rocked the palace and Videl was thrown backwards, almost falling, but caught herself.
Videl watched as a golden light fell from the sky, hit the ground, and then disappeared. The light had been Gohan's ki and he was undoubtedly badly hurt. Videl flew toward the site at breakneck speed. She stopped in mid-air, took a shaky breath, and landed at Gohan's crash-landing spot, which was not very far from the palace.
"Gohan!"
Gohan was lying on the ground underneath what was left of the two's favorite shade tree. One look told Videl something was seriously wrong. When she got to Gohan's side, she knew saw that Gohan was half dead. She began to cry onto Gohan's barely rising chest.
"Don't die Gohan!" She choked out. "I need you! I love you!"
Gohan moaned and barely opened his eyes. Videl noticed two tears race down his cheeks before he weakly smiled.
"I'm glad I know what love is," he stated weakly, "With you I feel peaceful, content, and whole. Something I hadn't felt in the five years before I met you."
Suddenly another light appeared around Gohan. This light lifted him up from the ground and slowly began to choke him. Videl let out a cry as a silver and white version of Freesia stepped out of the shadows; a hideous smirk was on his face. He took a step toward Videl, who took an unconscious step backwards.
"Frost!" Gohan hissed angrily though his throat was currently being crushed, "Torture me if you will! But leave her alone!"
"Why?" Frost replied coolly, "I think she'll be fun."
"Leave my mate out of this!" Gohan cried defensively through what was left of his windpipe.
"Mate?" Frost replied with a even bigger smirk and dropped Gohan, "This will definitely be fun."
Gohan slowly stood up and dropped into his fighting stance.
"Monster! You've already killed the Queen and most of the people on this planet! Leave her out of this! This is our fight!"
Videl swayed on her feet as she heard that her mother was dead.
'I'll make him pay!' Videl vowed to herself.
Frost smirked.
"You two are both too weak to hurt me. I think I'll do what my brother did, anyway."
Frost shot a huge blast at the planet's core and then disappeared. Gohan knew what would happen and that there was little time to think twice. He slipped something into Videl's palm and told her how to activate it. Videl's eyes widened at the thing, a capsule as Gohan had called it, in her hand.
Videl ran off a little ways, clicked the top of the capsule, and gently tossed it. Her eyes widened as far as they would go at the sight of a huge spaceship. Without hesitating, Gohan picked Videl up and carried her inside. He programmed the ship for Earth and then set the countdown timer to five minutes.
"300 seconds until ignition…" The computer beeped in response, "299…298…297…296…"
A sudden explosion outside caught Gohan's attention. Videl desperately gripped his hand as if never wanting to let him go.
"Don't go!" she pleaded.
"I promise that I'll be back in time."
Gohan had to vow a couple more times before Videl would let go and then he raced out of the ship. When he got out there, he saw that Frost was back. He slapped the door closed and then turned to Frost. They instantly began their fight and Gohan clicked down the timer in his mind as he went.
'216…215…214…213…'
Gohan dodged a blast directed at him and then shot one back. He threw punch after punch and kick after kick at Frost, leaving no scratch or dent on the ugly creature.
'156…155…154…153…'
Gohan went to Level Three thinking about how Videl would be injured by Frost if he were to loose. Frost saw this and transformed to his second form, which looked like a silver and white version of Freesia's final form.
'135…134…133…132…'
Gohan began to fight with strength anew. He was evenly matched to Frost for a while before Frost transformed again. Gohan watched in terror as spikes, a foot long, shot out of Frost's back, his muscles doubled in thickness, three horns sprouted out of his head, and more happened still.
'75…74…73…72…'
*I'm sorry Videl, but there is simply no way I'll defeat him and make it back to the ship in time!* Gohan mentally screamed.
'50…49…48…47…'
Gohan was thinking about Videl so hard that he didn't notice that Frost had snuck up on him. He felt terrible pain in his back and then his chest. Gohan looked down, in surprise and pain, at the bloody tips protruding from his chest. Frost had gored him through the back with two of his horns. He had done it so the horns had come through Gohan's lungs and out the front.
Frost grinned in triumph as he slowly removed his horn. He relished the pain filled screams of the young Saiyajin. He watched in fascination as the body fell onto the ground and remained deathly still. Frost laughed his eerie laugh, telling any survivors, one's that were nearby, that he was victorious. Now that the male was taken care of, all Frost had to do was kill the Princess.
Once the Princess was dead, the few remaining Saiyajins would be thrown into chaos and soon all would be dead. Frost powered up another attack and prepared to blow up the ship that he knew she was in. He sneered at her face; she was looking out a porthole in the spaceship. Her face was pale and, even from this distance, he could tell she was crying.
'13…12…11…10…'
"Long live the Princess..."
Frost shot the attack off and grinned in triumph as he saw it would hit its unprotected target. Frost's eyes nearly bugged out of his head as an unseen force deflected it. Frost let out a hideous cry of anger as the smoke cleared and the mortally wounded Gohan was revealed. Frost smirked and charged at the ship and the unsuspecting young man.
Frost's horns gored into Gohan once more. Now it was though his chest and out his back. Frost smirked as he heard the unmistakable crunching sound of the ribcage being crushed. Frost was delighted at the sight of blood flying from Gohan's mouth. He slammed the near-dead Saiyajin against a nearby wall several times. Frost was so busy taking his anger out on Gohan that he almost didn't hear the ship's engines start.
'5…4…3…2…1…0…'
The ship took off in a roar of smoke and was suddenly gone. Frost let out a roar of anger and just as he did, the planet exploded.
