AN: Hello again! Sorry this update took so long, but finals are finally
over and I have my very own brand new laptop!! HAPPY!! Anyway this one
backtracks a little to show you what was going on in Videl's mind when the
world was being overthrown by the chibis (Hopefully the italicized
flashbacks will show up right), then I'm gonna skip over to Gohan and bring
the story together so it'll probably be a long chapter (I write this before
I start the chapter so I may change my mind as I go and yeah. whatever).
Thank you all for the reviews, I've gone back and reposted all the old
chapters to fix a few inconsistencies, some contradictions in "Red" 's
character and such but nothing major enough for any of you to re read if
you don't want to.
SO ON WITH THE STORY
Chapter 14 The Return
Videl couldn't move. The harder she tried the stronger whatever force that held her seemed to get. *AARRGGG!!* she screamed mentally as the force that held her intensified yet again, causing her even more physical pain. *Why can't I move, what exactly is this that he's holding me in. this has to be another trick, like the ones the guys at the Cell Games used. "You see Videl, my dad. he died. He was killed by Cell seven years ago ." Whoa what the hell was that cause that definitely wasn't my voice! "Your dad did all those tricks that the guys at the Cell games did, can you do them?" Uh. that one was.*
"Ladies and gentlemen of the world," the boy started grandiosely, "Today is a day to rejoice. Behind me stand two figures you all recognize, Satan Videl, daughter of the great Hercule, and your dear King of the Earth, both of whom are now my prisoners." Videl glared at him as she continued to struggle to free herself. "I would like to announce to you all that I am the new ruler of this planet. Many years ago, my grandfather, the great Commander Red attempted to rule this world, he failed due to an unforeseen obstacle, but I will not make the same mistake as my ancestor. Where he failed I have succeeded, the Red Ribbon Army now controls this world!" He paused and looked at Videl who was still struggling, and smirked evilly before continuing on with his tirade.
"Anyone who tries to stop me will be defeated just as easily as Videl was, I have ultimate power! I am unbeatable! MWHAHAHAHA!!!" he laughed maniacally. *EASY!!!! WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS!!* Videl screamed in her mind, but kept her moth shut knowing that the pain would only increase if she opened it. *I am the daughter of the world champ! "I want to fight you; I want to see who is stronger. It'll be great, the son of the former champ and the daughter of the current champ." Ok that WAS my voice. but I don't remember saying that. "No Videl, you promised. Besides I haven't fought seriously in seven years and I'm not gonna start now. If I couldn't save my dad's life by fighting then there's no point in fighting at all." That voice sounds so familiar. but who is he and why can't I seem to remember this. Oww. my head.* Now I will return to King's Palace and await the one whom is responsible for my grandfather's defeat, if he does not arrive then people will die, city by city, everything will be destroyed! MWHAH." There was a sudden explosion and all the cameras in the gym exploded. The man who called himself Red looked around in shock, "WHO RUINED MY PRESS CONFERENCE! IF YOU DON'T SHOW YOURSELF NOW I'LL DESTROY EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM!!!!" He bellowed at the top of his lungs, into the microphone too. The noise caused made everyone in the room cover their ears, but also caused moans of agony to be echoed around the gym. Red turned to see the two figures dressed as ninjas, on the floor holding their ears and screaming bloody murder, right next to the largest speaker in the gym.
Suddenly everything began to shake violently, and said speaker flew across the gym in a flash of golden light. Red and the others near him were forced to cover their eyes due to the intense light and were even knocked to the ground by the aftershock. Not a good thing for Videl who was now face down on the floor, still unable to move a muscle. *This really isn't my day is it?* She thought glumly. Then, just as suddenly as it began, everything stopped, the light, the wind, and the breathing abilities of every single person in the gymnasium. The two figure, how had stopped whimpering in all the commotion, slowly got to their feet and walked over to Red. (AN: This just recaps a previous chapter for a while so if you remember it well skip ahead to the part with Gohan for all I care.)
"Actually. we did that. How are you gonna stop us?" Red looked at them shocked for only a moment before putting his strange gun at them.
"This is how boys!"
"Are you stupid or something? First of my mom used me to test how strong that thing is. I know how to break it so you, you probably couldn't even hit us anyway." Red looked at the figure in black and fired the gun, almost point blank at him. The boy was not hit, however, even though none of the people in the room saw him move an inch. "See what I mean. Plus you never told us you had anything to do with the Red Ribbon Army; we'll get in even bigger trouble if my dad and his brother find us here. My dad may have laughed it off before but because it was them who made those androids, dad'll kill me too." He took the weapon out of Red's hand and tossed it to the figure in white. Red could do nothing but stare at the two boys in shock.
"But. but I thought you wanted to help me take over the world?"
"No. not really. Why would we help you if we can do it ourselves?" he smirked at Red and kicked him off the stage, Red landed unceremoniously on the ground below and now everyone stared at the two small figures. The one in black slowly began to float and hovered on level with the microphone on the stage. The figure in white, meanwhile, had put the weapon down and was helping Videl to stand back up, still in her paralyzed state. "Now we are the ones in charge, and unless you give us everything we want we'll kill you all. And I have no problem with using you all as target practice, moving targets are best anyway." Some members of the crowd began to cry loudly at the young boy's menacing statement.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In yet another flash of light the five space travelers finally arrived at their destination. "Umm. guys," Gohan asked as he looked around the room they were standing in, "where are we, and why is that desk twenty feet tall?"
Before anyone could answer Gohan, a booming voice yelled from behind the desk, "Who are you? You're not supposed to be here you're not dead!"
"King Yemma," SK said with a bow, "my companions and I were wondering if you had any more information about what has been going on in hell that has you so worked up that you would yell at the Supreme Kai." *So this is King Yemma,* Gohan thought idly as he looked around the room, *Dad never mentioned this place was so huge. hey maybe I can visit him while I'm here!* King Yemma choked as he recognized the Supreme Kai, and began stuttering his apologies, that is until SK put up his hand to stop him. "Please, all we require is information; I must be on my way soon. So if you could please tell us what you know?"
King Yemma straightened himself out and sat back down on his chair before he began to speak. "We. well we don't really have an explanation for it. The ogres (AN: I'm not sure what those horned guys are called so I'm calling them ogres.) that were in charge down there have disappeared along with some of the high security prisoners. Most importantly the ones that were causing trouble down there before, that is until two of the Grand Kai's top students stepped in and stopped them. I hope they haven't found a way to escape back to the physical world. I don't think that even young Gohan here could stop them." Gohan looked at him questioningly
"How did you know my name?"
"Dende there has told me of some of your exploits, as did your father Son Goku. And before you ask, no you can not see him, he is on the Grand Kai's planet training right now and living mortals such as yourself are not permitted there for any reason." Gohan lowered his head in disappointment for a moment.
Suddenly he raised his head up, "Who is this Grand Kai anyway?"
"He is the Overseer of the Universe, pretty much the four Kai's boss." Dende informed him.
"Oh. but isn't that your job Supreme Kai?"
"Yes it is."
"Then are you the Grand Kai?"
"No Gohan, we are two different people."
"So if he has the same job as you, and you do all the work of watching over the universe. then what exactly does he do?"
"Umm. well," SK sweat-dropped, "I really don't know what he does." Everyone stared at the Supreme Kai, shocked that even he did not know what the Grand Kai true purpose in the hierarchy of gods was.
"It really doesn't matter either way and I think it is time for us to return to Earth. When should we expect your next visit Supreme Kai?"
"I will meet you at midnight in two day's time in the room of Spirit and Time," SK responded, "Do not speak my name outside the Time Chamber, if you must, call me Shin instead. We must be going now, until then, farewell my friends and be on guard!" With that the Supreme Kai and Kibito disappeared in a flash of light. Trunks reminded them that he had to teach the young god and hero how to block their thoughts. They picked it up in only a few hours' time and, after saying good bye to King Yemma, returned to Earth.
They all appeared on the Lookout a moment later, causing Mr. Popo to drop his watering car and run up to the trio in tears.
"Dende! Oh you have returned, I am so happy," he said as he hugged Dende tightly.
"Er. It's good to see you too Mr. Popo," Dende said, peeling the genie off of him, "as you can see Gohan, with some. help. from Mirai Trunks has brought me back safe and sound. Now, has anything been happening since I left?"
"Nothing much, Dende sir. well except the Red Ribbon Army has taken over the world."
"WHAT!!!" they all screamed together. Mr. Popo told them that most of the Z gang was at a tournament in the far north and Vegeta and Piccolo were in the Time Chamber so none of them had seen the television broadcast that ended abruptly only a minute before.
"Trunks, do you want to come with me, it'll be fun and we can head to CC after wards to get you a place to stay until everything is over with," Gohan asked as he transformed into his Saiyaman outfit.
"Sure, but do you have to wear that outfit. it looks ridiculous."
"What are you taking about," he does the little poses; "I am the Great Saiyaman!"
Trunks was on the floor laughing by this point, "Oh. my. you look so stupid! I'll let you keep the outfit if you promise to never no those stupid poses again, only frauds try and show off their strength that way."
Gohan thought about Trunks' statement for a moment before agreeing, "If it's ok with you, Trunks, I'm gonna call you Mirai when we get down there so no one knows your name, hurry up and transform so we can get going."
"Ok, ok," Trunks rolled his eyes and went super Saiyan. The two then took off towards Orange Star High School to stop the Red Ribbon Army from controlling the world.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"And what we want is." The figure in white added, "Is candy!!" The crying stopped and every jaw dropped to the ground. The other boy rolled his eyes and turned back to the crowd. "Umm. candy is good, but we also want other stuff like a castle of our own! Yeah we're the Dastardly Duo of Death and Destruction and we're in charge!"
"I really don't think so," Trunks and Goten looked up to see who it was that was speaking, and when they saw the two figures floating up near the roof of the gymnasium the color drained from their face.
"Umm. please," Trunks began as he backed slowly away from the descending figure of Gohan and Mirai, "we thought that anyone would be better than the Red Ribbon Army so we were gonna take over for a while. we only wanted some candy, please don't kill us!" Videl looked curiously at the young boy, *He had enough power to block a weapon that still has me frozen in place, yet he seems to be afraid of the Great Saiyaman and the other guy with him. that other guy does fit the description of the Gold Fighter, and he looks REALLY familiar too.*
"Yeah big brother we only wanted candy, it was this guy here," Goten said pointing to Red, "really wanted to take over the world and he even frozen that Videl lady with that gun thingy." Gohan looked over to where Videl was lying for the first time sice he had arrived. After staring at the two boys for a moment he walked over and grabbed Videl. He exerted his ki and with a sound like breaking glass Videl dropped to her knees.
"Thank you, they were telling the truth Saiyaman, they weren't behind this they were just in it for the candy. in fact," she said glancing slyly at the still cowering boys, "if it weren't for them he probably would have killed me." Gohan nodded before turning back to glare at the boys.
"So does one of you two want to explain what is going on here? How did FRANKIE manage to take over the world?"
"Uhh. we kinda helped him, but when he started hurting people we stopped him. we just wanted some candy big brother. who is that guy back there?" Goten pointed to Mirai Trunks who had been standing in the background watching the exchanges in amusement.
"Oh that's Mirai, it's a long story though so let's go I'll tell you all I can when we get to West City," Gohan then turned to face Videl, who was glaring at him intently, "Uhhh. Videl. do you think that you can handle this mess. without this thing," Gohan held up the CC freeze gun thingy, "he's not any threat." Videl nodded once before grabbing Frankie by the neck and dragging him off to give to the police force that was gathering outside.
"You ready Mirai? Or do you want to stand there trying not to laugh at us for a while longer?"
"Nope, SAIYAMAN, I think I'm ready... don't lose those two though," he pointed to the two boys who were sneaking out the door. Gohan turned to them and blasted their path, causing them to freeze where they were standing.
"Thanks Mirai, now lets go get these two little demon children back to where they belong."
"Wait," a voice came from the crowd. Gohan turned to see who it was and came face to face with Lime, "I'm sick of this stupid school, can I come too?"
"Sure, but take Nimbus, we'll fly slow so you can keep up, come Mirai, and you two, let's go."
"Uhh. big brother I can't fly remember?"
"Oh yeah. well I guess you'll have to take Nimbus with Lime then, can we go now?" With that Gohan blasted out the doors of the auditorium. Mirai shook his head in amusement before following after him, the two children and Lime running to catch up with the two extremely fast demi Saiyans.
They were all flying through the air before anyone really spoke again. "Goten, Trunks, take off those stupid costumes."
"You should too Gohan," Mirai said as he powered down from SSJ. The Nimbus and Trunks stopped dead in the air.
"You. you look like me!" Trunks said as he and Goten took off their masks and threw them to the ground.
"That's cause he is you Trunks, everyone I would like you to meet Future Trunks, I've been calling him Mirai, and, if you don't mind," he said motioning to Trunks' future counterpart, "we all should probably call you that so as not to get you confused with the runt over there."
"Whoa! I grow up to be cool! And I get a sword," Trunks exclaimed as they started flying again. Mirai laughed at the comment.
"What about me?" Goten pouted.
"Actually," Mirai started, "I have no clue who you are kid, well except for that you're Gohan's brother. In my timeline Goku died before the androids even appeared, so you were never born. Everyone in my timeline was killed by the androids 17 and 18, except myself, my mother, and Gohan."
"So I'm not born. but if I'm not born how am I here?"
"No Goten, he means in his world, mom told me all about the alternate timeline, there was no Cell and Android 18, Krillan's wife, was evil and killed everyone until the other me went came here and trained with dad and got strong enough to beat them both. Mom will be real happy to see you Mirai, she said you saved both of our lives once."
"Yeah, that was only because Vegeta was a heartless jerk, he didn't even bother to save you in that timeline, so I had to. although as far as I've seen he's changed a lot since then. I visited another timeline where he actually sacrificed himself to try and save you and mom. From what I was told, he had knocked Goku out so that he wouldn't stop him from fighting a futile battle. But he did it anyway, even after being told by Piccolo that he would lose his body and be banished to hell, he still did it."
"Ya know, I'm not incredibly surprised, Vegeta may seem as hard as rock but he's changed a lot over the years. When Dad first let him live after their fight here on Earth he gained respect for my father," Gohan paused for a moment at the memory, "and then after he told us of his past and died on Namek he began to care about those around him. But it was after you died Mirai that he really changed, he really loves Bulma and trunks, even though he only shows it in his own very. unique way." Mirai looked at Gohan slightly skeptical of his words but nodded his head in understanding nonetheless.
The two children told the others about Frankie and what he had told them about his plan to rule the world and his reasons for doing so. Gohan promised that they would not tell Bulma or any of the warriors about the two boys' involvement in the takeover of the world. for a price.
"Now," Lime stated glumly, "is explain to Bulma and Chichi why you stole that spaceship Gohan."
"Uh."
AN: Yeah, I left it kinda cliffy but I have to stop or I'll go insane. I actually had to reread all my old chapters so I could remember what was going on, I found a lot of inconsistencies that I cleared up, but if you have any questions please just ask in your review or email me. I finished my fairy tale which is good, and I have a year to write another, at least I have plenty of time this time around. Anyway, thanks for all the reviews I've gotten so far. if you write me a review you can have an imaginary cupcake that has green Christmas frosting and sprinkles!!!
Chapter 14 The Return
Videl couldn't move.

"That's cause he is you Trunks, everyone I would like you to meet Future Trunks, I've been calling him Mirai, and, if you don't mind," he said motioning to Trunks' future counterpart, "we all should probably call you that so as not to get you confused with the runt over there."
"Whoa! I grow up to be cool! And I get a sword," Trunks exclaimed as they started flying again. Mirai laughed at the comment.
"What about me?" Goten pouted.
"Actually," Mirai started, "I have no clue who you are kid, well except for that you're Gohan's brother. In my timeline Goku died before the androids even appeared, so you were never born. Everyone in my timeline was killed by the androids 17 and 18, except myself, my mother, and Gohan."
"So I'm not born. but if I'm not born how am I here?"
"No Goten, he means in his world, mom told me all about the alternate timeline, there was no Cell and Android 18, Krillan's wife, was evil and killed everyone until the other me went came here and trained with dad and got strong enough to beat them both. Mom will be real happy to see you Mirai, she said you saved both of our lives once."
"Yeah, that was only because Vegeta was a heartless jerk, he didn't even bother to save you in that timeline, so I had to. although as far as I've seen he's changed a lot since then. I visited another timeline where he actually sacrificed himself to try and save you and mom. From what I was told, he had knocked Goku out so that he wouldn't stop him from fighting a futile battle. But he did it anyway, even after being told by Piccolo that he would lose his body and be banished to hell, he still did it."
"Ya know, I'm not incredibly surprised, Vegeta may seem as hard as rock but he's changed a lot over the years. When Dad first let him live after their fight here on Earth he gained respect for my father," Gohan paused for a moment at the memory, "and then after he told us of his past and died on Namek he began to care about those around him. But it was after you died Mirai that he really changed, he really loves Bulma and trunks, even though he only shows it in his own very. unique way." Mirai looked at Gohan slightly skeptical of his words but nodded his head in understanding nonetheless.
The two children told the others about Frankie and what he had told them about his plan to rule the world and his reasons for doing so. Gohan promised that they would not tell Bulma or any of the warriors about the two boys' involvement in the takeover of the world. for a price.
"Now," Lime stated glumly, "is explain to Bulma and Chichi why you stole that spaceship Gohan."
"Uh."
AN: Yeah, I left it kinda cliffy but I have to stop or I'll go insane. I actually had to reread all my old chapters so I could remember what was going on, I found a lot of inconsistencies that I cleared up, but if you have any questions please just ask in your review or email me. I finished my fairy tale which is good, and I have a year to write another, at least I have plenty of time this time around. Anyway, thanks for all the reviews I've gotten so far. if you write me a review you can have an imaginary cupcake that has green Christmas frosting and sprinkles!!!
