Hey look, a new chapter!  I know it's been like, forever, but this semester is turning out to be much busier than I thought it would be.  Anyway, I was having terrible writers block for this story, but now I've got the ball rolling so I should update more often that…six weeks, I think.

I updated my bio, so check out my profile to delve deeper into the psyche known as Liz.

Chapter 14:  The Cavalry, or More People to Make Gohan's Life Miserable

            Gohan looked furtively between Mirai Trunks and Videl.  Upon seeing the look on Trunks's face, Gohan finally saw the Vegeta in him.  Spectacular.  Just what he needed.  Hoping that Videl might have mellowed out in the three seconds he hadn't been looking at her, Gohan turned his attention back to her.  No such luck.

            "Gohan!  I demand to know now  why this guy is calling you sensei.  You can't possibly be his sensei, he's the same age as us!"  Videl  said, still giving Gohan the patented Satan glare.

            Dende, if you ever want to do me a favor, do it now!   Gohan thought.  For the first time that day, Dende seemed smile on him, because the bell rang at that exact instant.  Gohan broke out into a big smile.  "Oh look, we gotta go to PE now.  See you there!"  Gohan jumped up and ran, leaving everyone staring at him, except Videl, who was still glaring, and Trunks and Vegeta, who were standing side by side with identical smirks on their faces. 

            "Well, I guess we should follow him."  Goku said, scratching his head.  "Um, Videl, you should probably go in front, because I'm not sure exactly where we're going."  Vegeta rolled his eyes.  This was just so below him.

            At the mention of her name, Videl snapped out of her Gohan-interrogation mood and turned on the person closest to her, which just happened to be Mirai.  

"You!  Why are you calling Gohan sensei?  If he won't tell me, then you better!"  she snapped.  Mirai, now his normal calm, sweet self, started to sweat.  No wonder Gohan had looked so scared at the girl. 

            "Well, uh….I uh, er,…."  Mirai stuttered ever so succinctly.  Fortunatley, or not, however you feel like looking at it, Erasa stepped in right there.

            "Videl, be nice!  He's probably only playing a joke, right, cutie?"  she said, cooing at Mirai.  "Come on, lets go catch up with the other cutie, and see what fun we can have in PE!"  Erasa latched onto Mirai's arm and led him out.  Videl followed closely behind, still wanting answers and not going to calm until she got some.  Goku and Vegeta followed, each both hoping for a chance to get some exercise in during PE.  Bulma followed close behind those two, musing.  She had already figured out that something was going on between Gohan and Videl, and it amused her to no end watching them beat around the bush.  And now her future son was being pursued.  She would have grandchildren yet!   But, wait, she wasn't old enough for grandchildren yet, was she?  No, she was still young and beautiful.  Bulma made a mental note to discuss this with Chichi next time she had a chance.   Yamcha walked next to Bulma, glad that Vegeta was no longer staring at him as if trying to make his head explode.

            Hercule and Sharpener came along last, neither one believing that they had been forgotten by the rest of the group.  Sharpener was also upset at the Videl was paying so much attention to nerd boy, and even Erasa was now hanging all over that guy with the weird freaky hair.  However, upon trying to think of someway to get the girls back, Sharpener  developed a headache and had to quit. 

*~*~*~*~*

            Gohan wasn't sure why he had run out of the classroom so quickly. Well, actually he did, he wanted to get away from Videl.  Kinda.  Even though she did smell good…  Gohan blinked.  There is was again, his brain thinking about how good Videl smelled.   Even when she was in one of her scary-girl modes, Gohan thought she smelled good.  And she did look kinda cute with that tell-me-or-I'm-gonna-hurt-you look on her face.  G

            Gohan stopped and decided to wait for his group.  They appeared soon, with Mirai surrounded by a group of rabid fan girls, having jumped him upon leaving the classroom.  Gohan could help by smile at looking at his future friend surrounded by a lot of people he really had no idea what to do about.  Then there was Videl.  For some reason, he couldn't take his eyes off her, even though she appeared to be on the warpath, most likely for him.  A guy in the hall stopped and tried to talk to her, going to so far as to put his hand on her arm.  Gohan felt a growl rumble deep in his chest at seeing that.  However, it stopped once Videl punched the other guy in the stomach and he fell to the ground.  Gohan was once again confused.  Since when did he start growling about anything?

            Vegeta, though, had seen the whole thing, including Gohan's reaction.  He smirked even bigger.  He decided to tell his mate, knowing she would tell Goku's harpy, and then she would torture Gohan about grandchildren.  Vegeta actually smirked so hard it could be taken as a real smile.  He liked causing trouble.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch…

            Goten and Trunks had been sparring out in the woods near the Son house, Chichi watching Trunks as both of his parents were out for the day and his grandparents were on vacation.  Amidst blowing up mountains and stuff like that,  Goten started asking Trunks questions.

            "Hey Trunks, what do you think is happening at the school where everyone is?"  Goten asked, blocking a punch from his friend.

            "Well, my dad told me they were gonna do all sorts of experiments on humans and stuff, like cut them open and look at their insides."  Trunks replied, ducking a retaliatory kick from  Goten.

            "Really?  Don't you think the humans would mind though?  I know I wouldn't like it if somebody cut me open to look at my insides."  Goten said as he flew higher.

            "If my dad said that's what they're doing, then that's what they're doing.  He is the Prince of All Saiyans."  Trunks reminded Goten yet again.

            Goten decided to just ignore his best friend and continued to spar.  The conversation lapsed as the two boys pushed their power levels even higher so that both were right below super Saiyan.  Suddenly, both felt a new and very powerful ki appear in the direction of Satan City.  They stopped and floated for a while, then looked at each other. 

            "Trunks, what's that?" Goten quiered.

            "I dunno Goten, but it feels like it's coming from where our families are."  Trunks replied.  Goten looked at him nervously.

            "What if it's a monster Trunks?  Everyone else might need our help."   Goten said.

            Trunks smirked.  Finally, a challenge.  "Let's go then.  I think we should go ahead and find our dads, and then go from there."  Goten just nodded, and the two of them took off towards Orange Star High, blasting into Super Saiyan along the way.

*~*~*~*

            Chichi was humming to herself as she puttered around the house.  She liked having free time of her own.  She loved her husband and adored her boys, but everyone needed personal time every once and a while. 

She was cleaning the kitchen when she came across a capsule labeled GL-F.   Frowning for a moment, Chichi then realized it was Gohan's lunch, specially modified for today to feed both him and Gohan.   Setting her face determinedly, Chichi walked outside.  She couldn't let her boys go hungry or eat nasty cafeteria food.  Briefly she thought about Goten and Trunks, and then decided she could be there and back before they came in for lunch.

"PICCOLO!  I NEED YOU!!!"  Chichi bellowed at the top of her already formidable voice.  After waiting a few seconds, she repeated herself.  When there was still no reply, she took a deep breath and screamed even louder, if that's even  possible.

"PICCOLO!   I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME! COME HERE!  IT'S FOR GOHAN!" Chichi endeared towards the one thing Piccolo seemed to respond too, Gohan.  Then she waited.

A few miles away, well within Chichi's voice range thanks to his superior Namek hearing, Piccolo was in what could be considered a moral dilemma.  He indeed did hear Chichi, and was more than willing to help Gohan whenever necessary.  But he did not relish the idea of going and seeing the harpy.  Finally, deciding to take one for the team and telling himself to tell Gohan he owed him a favor, he set off in the direction of the Son house.

"What do you want, woman?"  Piccolo growled at the much smaller woman.  Chichi just glared back.  No love was lost between the two of them.

"I need you to take me to Gohan.  He forgot his lunch and I have to get it too him."  Chichi declared.

Piccolo growled.  He was being turned into a chaffeur service?  Only for Gohan.  "Fine.  I'll take you and then bring you back.  Don't expect me to do it again."  With that, Piccolo grabbed Chichi and threw her over his broad shoulders.  Chichi did not like that at all, and began punching and screaming at him.  Piccolo vaguely wondered if he should rip off his ears real quick and be done with it.  But that would probably frighten the human, and he'd have to explain.  Then she'd get mad at him and start yelling all over.  Piccolo could see a dangerous cycle coming on, so he decided just to ignore her to the best of his abilities.

            Halfway there, Piccolo picked up the same ki that Goten and Trunks felt.  However, he was able to recognize it.  That didn't soothe his brain much; last this ki had randomly appeared, it was to warn the world about peril danger.  Piccolo growled "Hold tight female, we're going faster."  And took off towards Mirai Trunks, hoping that he was just here for a visit and not with another doomsday prophecy.

Back in our deeply recessed place…

            Cell was still thinking of a way to become stronger than the Saiyans, with absolutely no inspiration whatsoever.  The Ginyu force still practicing new poses, except now they were going the cheerleader approach and forming human pyramids.  Frieza had gotten bored long ago and was blasting rocks on the ground. 

            Finally, Frieza had had enough.  "What was the point of us breaking out if no one had a plan to defeat the Saiyans? I can't believe I'm associating with such moronic company. We are just lucky no one has discovered up yet."  He yelled.

            Cell looked up from his thinking position.   "Well, Frieza, if we are so moronic, why don't you think of a way to defeat the Saiyans.  I mean, they've already defeated you what, three times?  Certainly you've found a weakness or something by now."  Cell commented sarcastically.

            Frieza looked at Cell with ultimate rage in his eyes.  He began to power up one of his planet destroying death balls to hurl at Cell.  Cell, in response, pulled his hands back to do a Kamehameha with his tail snapping behind him.  The Ginyu force for once had enough brains collectively to not to do anything.

            "Brains you have enough, but strength you lack."  Came a strange little voice from inside a nearby jail cell.  "Come to me and I shall increase your strength beyond what you believe possible."

            This got everyone's attention.  "And who are you?"  Cell asked of the voice.

            "I am the Majin wizard Bibidi, killed thousands of years ago by the Supreme Kai.  Maybe you've  heard of my best project, Majin Buu?"  the voice replied.

            For the first time ever, Frieza was speechless.  He had heard of Majin Buu and the wizard Bibidi.  "Y…you, are the wi..wizard Bibibi?"  Frieza stammered.  "I've heard of you, and your creation.  You destroyed millions of planets and killed trillions of life forms before you were destroyed."

            "Ah, an enlightened one.  Yes, you are right.  And if you free me, I will instill in you the power of the Majin, so that you may exact your revenge, and together we can continue my domination of the universe." Bibidi replied.

            "How do we know we can trust you?"  Cell asked.

            A dry chuckle  emitted from the pen.  "You can't.  But I assure you, I will make you more powerful than you ever imagined if you free me.  After that, we will see what happens."

            Captain Ginyu stepped forwards.  "I think I speak for my entire force when I say we accept."  The rest of the group nodded.  Ginyu though, was thinking to himself.  Once this guy is freed and the Saiyans are destroyed, I can kill the others and the Ginyu force will rule all!

            Frieza was next.   "I know the power of the Majin; I agree to your offer."  However, he was thinking along the same lines as Ginyu.  With this power, I will easily defeat the Saiyans and the rest of these fools, and take my place as Frieza, Lord of the Universe!

            Cell stepped forward.  "Although I do not trust you, I also will use your power."  I can annihilate the Saiyans, and then fulfill my right as Ruler of All!

            "Very well.  Now, release me."  Bibidi commanded. 

            Ginyu, Frieza, and Cell all fired a powerful energy blast at the door of the holding.  Once the dust settle, Bibidi was finally seen.  He was, well, not what everyone had been suspecting.  Bibidi looked more like an overgrown catfish than a powerful wizard.  He chuckled when he saw the looks on the faces around him/

            "Do not be deceived by appearances.  I am more powerful than you can believe."  Bibidi said.  With that, he raised his hands and shouted "Mapary Mapa".  Instantly, the Ginyu Force, Frieza, and Cell were clutching their heads in pain as they were violated by the magic of the Majin.  After a few minutes, though, they were all standing up straight with a giant Majin symbol on their forheads.

            "Excellent.  Now, lets go take over the Universe."  Bibidi said.

Hehe, poor Gohan.  So, I think I've got everyone at Orange Star for some odd reason or another.  This is gonna be fun.  And now all our favorite bad guys are Majin!  What will our favorite Saiyans do?
