Chapter 8: Gohan VS Vegita

About 40 minutes later at the Son house Gohan, Goten, and Videl where trying to figure out what to do next.

"Lets see..." Goten said as he swarmed through the movies.

"Hmmm... nope! What's this... nah.."

"I could always go back home and get some more movies" Videl suggested.

"Thats ok. I know we have a good one around here somewhere." Suddenly Goten stood up.

"Whats wrong Goten?"

"Someone's here."

"Huh? Whos here?" Chi-Chi asked peeking her head out of the kitchen. Then they all heard Bulmas jet land.

"Hey Goten!" Trunks yelled outside. "We're here!"

Chi-Chi just then remembered that she had invited Bulma and them over.

"Oh my gosh I completely forgot!!"

Videl went close to her asking "What are we gonna due Chi-Chi?"

Chi-Chi thought for a moment looking at Videl, then at Gohan, and then to the door. She then relaxed at bit.

"I don't think we need to worry. Its just Bulma and Trunks."

Videl took a deep sigh. "I guess your right. I mean its not like Vegitas here."

As soon as she said that they both heard "Hurry up woman!!"

"OH NO!!!" They both seem to yell.

Goten was a little freaked out but he didn't realize the gravity of the situation.

"Hi Chi-Chi!" Bulma yelled out while opening the door. "Oh hello Videl." Bulma had been a little shock to see her there. "Goten, Gohan." She nodded in a hello.

Chi-Chi ran to her friend and grabbed her arm. "We need to talk for a second!" The she ran into her room before Bulma could even ask what was wrong.

"Huh thats strange.. oh Goten look what I found." Trunk took his hand out of his jacket revealing a dragonball!

"Wow!!" Goten put on a big Son grin and soon forgot about Gohan and Vegitas attitude.

"That makes 6!! (A/N: Goten and Trunks where collecting the dragonballs to wish for something, just don't ask me what) I can't believe it!"

"Yea but the radar can't locate the 7th."

"We'll figure that out later. Com'on lets go put it with the rest!" Trunks and Goten then sprinted to Gotens room before Videl could stop them.

Now she had to handle Vegita by herself.

"Brats!" Vegita mumbled then looked at Gohan and Videl.

"Don't you two have school?"

"Ughhh... schools canceled." Videl answered trying to think what she could do to prevent Vegita making remarks to Gohan who, was now looking down at the floor not wanting to look at Vegita.

Vegita notice something was wrong.

"Whats up with you brat?"

"Vegita please-" Videl had tried to stop him but Vegita kept egging on. Vegita was in a bad mood already so he was letting off some steam.

"No answer?...Hmp baka 3rd class warriors."

Hearing this Gohans muscles tensed as his anger started to rise.

"Vegita stop it!" Videl pleaded.

Vegita laughed hard. "So... he heh... now you need your woman to defend for you? Haaa ha just like you needed your baka daddy!"

Meanwhile... "Chi-Chi whats wrong? Why did y-"

"You have to leave!" Chi-Chi had cut Bulma off in mid-sentence.

"What?"

"This morning Gohan woke up and he... hes having a mental breakdown."

Bulmas eyes widened.

"I forgot to call. The doctor said not to have too many people around him. He's very vulnerable to anything right now!"

"Oh kami, and Vegitas here! I hope he hasn't said anythin-"

Before she could finish they both heard a very loud crash and a scream. The two ran into the family room only to see Videl screaming, a big hole in the wall, and outside, SSJ Gohan choking a pinned down and very surprised Vegita.

"Err, why you little-" Vegita stuttered struggling from the choke, then turning SSJ knocking Gohan off him.

As soon as Gohan caught his balance he rushed at Vegita punching him in the gut and kept on going into the hillside. Vegita jumped out from the hill followed by some debris and Gohan. After meeting in the air they went to hand and hand combat.

"Vegita, don't hurt him!" Bulma yelled.

"He's not giving me much of a choice woman!!"

"Gohan!!" Videl yelled. "Gohan please stop!!!"

But Gohan didn't listen. He was determined on one thing, killing Vegita.

Goten and Trunks, who had just ran beside their mothers to see what was happening, looked in shock at the battle before them.

"What are they doing!!?" Trunks asked.

"Ni..ni-chan...."

"Mom whats going on?" Bulma looked down at her son and briefly explained.

Trunks stood in shock. Shaking his head he turned to Goten.

"Goten we've got to stop him!!"

Goten looked at his friend. "How?"

"You'll distract him and I'll get my dad. If you get in his way he won't hurt you, its only my dad he wants."

Goten nodded. Then they charged up to SSJ and flew off. "Be careful!!" Chi-Chi yelled.

Gohan, who had just hurled Vegita 7 feet into the ground, saw Goten and Trunks charging at him obviously to save Vegita. He frowned then charged up to SSJ2 releasing a wave of power that sent the two back.

While Gohan charged up Vegita came jumping out of the ground yelling. Gohan waited for him.

"I'll kill you BRAT!!!!" He yelled taking a swing at the younger demi-saiyajin.

Right before he was about to hit Gohan vanished.

"What..." Vegita looked around. "Where did he go?"

Sudenly Gohan appeared behind him upside down neck to neck.

"Who weaker and inferior now?" He mocked.

Vegita spun around quickly but Gohan had already flipped over him and his foot met with the back of Vegitas neck sending him downward. Gohan caught up with him and kneed Vegita in the stomach then grabbed his arm and threw him into the air followed by a ki blast that Vegita just nearly dodged.

The two saiya-jins faced each other. Gohan looked over at Trunks and Goten who had given up trying to interfere, his power waves where too much for them. He smiled then turned to a badly beaten up Vegita. Vegita looked at him and scowled. There he was nearly laughing and still powering up.

"He's gone insane!" Vegita thought. "Each wave of power seems to feed into his madness."

Gohan stood there still gaining power at an incredible rate. Instantly he charged at Vegita punching and kicking him at an incredible rate. It was hopeless for Vegita to defend himself, Gohan himself couldn't even control his power.

"Final Flash!!!" Vegita yelled as he powered up his signature ki blast.

Gohan stood their smiling.

At the last second Gohan powered up his own ki blast and threw it towards Vegita. Instantly Vegitas blast was over powered and was now headed toward him.

Having Gohan over power his blast gave him enough time to jump out of the way. Unfortuatly for him Gohan appeared right near him and kicked him toward the blast. Vegitas body easily caught up with it and suddenly there was a big explosion.

"Vegita!!!" Bulma yelled out fearing the worst. "Oh Kami he's dead isn't he."

"No he's still alive!" Trunks said feeling his fathers ki.

"Err... Goten we have to do something!!!!"

"We can't, ni-chans too powerful!!" Goten looked at his friend with tears in his eyes.

Clearly Goten was just as upset about them not being able to do anything, if not more. It wasn't just Vegita in trouble, Gohan was as well with his breakdown. Trunks realized he was right but kept trying to think of a way.

"AAGGGHHHHH." Vegita charged up and then attacked Gohan head to head.

It seemed like all his energy was draining and given to Gohan.

"Damn I can't keep this up!!" Vegita thought to himself.

After another 5 minutes of constant fighting it was now taking a toll on him.

"How does it feel?" Gohan asked.

Vegita looked up at him in surprise.

"How does it feel to know your going to loose... and DIE!!!!"

"Why you!" Vegita lunged a punch at his face which Gohan easily blocked.

Gohan kneed him in the stomach, brought his leg around, and hammered him down with his leg. Vegita hurtled, then skidded, across the ground.

"DAD!!" Trunks yelled feeling powerless to help his father.

"Damn this sucks!!"

"Oh no!!"

Trunks looked up where Goten was looking. There Gohan was powering up a huge ki blast.

"This your end!!!" Gohan yelled feeding more energy into his blast.

Wind swurled around him causing Goten and the others to shield there eyes. The huge energyball kept doubling in size as Vegita and the others looked on in fear.

"Mwahahaha!" Gohan stretched his arms back.

"NOW YOU DIE BASTARD!!!!!" He attempted to throw the blast but at the last second it dissappeared.

Everyone looked up. His body went limp but a green arm stopped him from falling. Goten tried looking harder, the sun was blinding him. Soon he saw who stopped Gohan.

"Piccolo-san!!"

Piccolo slowly lowered to the ground with a limp Gohan. Goten ran up to the tall namek.

"Piccolo! How did you..."

"Kami's place. I've seen everything."

Trunks and Bulma ran past them to help Vegita. Piccolo turned to them.

"Your dads very lucky. As a matter of fact everyone is. If I hadn't left when I did I wouldn't have made it in time. That blast would have destroyed the whole planet."

Everyone gasped realizing it was true.

"T-The entire p-pl-planet?" Chi-Chi stuttered.

Piccolo nodded. Then he got out a senzu bean and threw it to Vegita. Vegita grabbed it then knowticed a slite smirk on Piccolos face. He munched it down giving the namek a glare.

"Asshole. He'll never let me live this down!"

Piccolo carried Gohan into the house and layed him on his bed.

"Oh my poor baby." Chi-Chi said as she gently brushed Gohans hair with her hand.

"Chi-Chi I'm so sorry... I had no idea."

"You didn't, know it was my fault." Before Bulma was about to speek but was cut off by Piccolo.

"He should be out for about 3 hours. I think its best if we let him get some rest."

Everyone went into the kitchen. "I'm going back to Kamis, maybe Dende and I can figure out a way to help." With that Piccolo took up to the sky and flew off.

"We better get going to." Bulma said as she gave her friend a hug. "I'm sorry about today and if you guys need anything I'll be over in a flash.... without Vegita." She said that last part in a whisper.

"Thank you."

With that Bulma, Vegita, and Trunks left.

"Kami whats happening?" Chi-Chi and Videl both thought as they sat on the couch resting from cleaning up the broken wall and while Goten pushed the capsuled wall over the broken one as a temporary repair.

"I just don't understand why this is happening to Gohan." Videl said as she started to cry.

Chi-Chi hugged her in comfort crying too.

"I don't know... It's all my fault. I've been so hard on him."

"Mommy." Goten said as he crawled inbetween them.

"Its not your fault.... It's mine.."

"Goten none of this is your fault sweety.... absolutly none of this. Please don't think that... please. You didn't do anything wrong. And telling me and the doctor about what's been happening..." Chi-Chi hugged Goten tighter "...that took so much courage. I'm so proud of you."

Chi-Chi then gave him a kiss.

Goten looked up at them with tears in his eyes.

"I'm scarred.. about ni-chan."

"Don't worry Goten. If we stick together to help Gohan everything will be alright." Videl said as she gave the little mini-Goku a hug.

Soon they fell asleep together on the couch with the start of rain outside. Their tears had dried and everyone was now in a deep peaceful sleep, ....except one. Gohans eyes suddenly lifted open!!!
