Sorry for not updating yesterday like I said. But I didn't get on my computer until late last night. So I didn't have much time to write.

I do not own Dragon Ball Z.

Last of Two Planets

Part 1: An Evil Returns

Chapter 3: Rescued

The Z-Senshi watch Gohan as he glances at Cell's ki blast with little interest before turning his attention back to the green monster before him. They are surprised to see Gohan's head suddenly snaps around towards the plane as a look of shock and horror spreads across his face before he races at the jet-copter and slams through its fuselage just before the ki blast obliterates it.

Gohan glares at Cell as the ball of light heads towards the plane when a sudden cry of desperation reaches out to him from the plane. With a burst of speed he flies to the plane. Just as he bursts through one of the heavily tinted glass windows he spots someone, a girl about his age, sitting on the floor with her eyes locked on the approaching ki blast as she awaits certain death. Picking her up, Gohan slams through the other side of the fuselage just as the blast hits the jet-copter.

"What's the brat doing?" Vegeta asks in surprise as he watches the ball of fire and dust rise into the air where the jet-copter once stood.

"It was only that loud mouthed fools plane." 18 says coolly.

"I don't know. He must've sensed something." Goku says while searching out any kis in the area. At first he can not sense anyone besides the Z-Senshi. But gradually he can sense the female Saiya-jin do to her fairly hi ki, then Hercule, and finally the cameraman that is cowering behind some rocks. Then, after concentrating on the spot where his son is, he feels another ki. The energy is incredibly strong compared to the average human, but is dwarfed by the power exuded by Gohan. "I got it!" He exclaims. "There's another ki right next to Gohan's.

The Z-Senshi focus their ki senses on the location. And then, in the blinding intense energy that is Gohan and Cell, they can sense a much smaller ki.

"Who is that?" Chaozu asks as he floats slightly behind Tien.

Krillin looks on as the dust and smoke begins to blow away. "I don't know. I didn't even sense it until just now."

"Yeah, it's hard to detect unless you concentrate." Yamcha says as Hercule and the woman run toward them.

"Well if it isn't the king idiot himself." Vegeta says with a smirk upon seeing Hercule. "Until I met him I thought Kakarott was the biggest fool alive."

"Gee, thanks Vegeta." Goku says with a smile making the others look at him in disbelief.

"Why didn't you save Videl?" The woman asks with tears in her eyes as Hercule struggles to regain control of his breathing.

"Save who?" Piccolo asks gruffly.

"Our daughter…Videl…you…green…th-thing." Hercule pants out.

"She was in the plane." The woman clarifies. "Why didn't you use one of your tricks to stop that blast before it blew it up?"

"Oh. That must be the other power we sense." Goku says while scratching the back of his head. "As far as we know, she's fine."

"Tell me. Who are you and why you, a Saiya-jin, choose to mate with such a weak human?" Vegeta demands of the woman.

Videl feels herself being violently pulled from the floor of the plane and closes her eyes tightly in anticipation of death. The sound of a violent explosion fills her ears while her mouth and nose are clogged by dust and smoke. But the pain she is expecting never comes while she lays, motionless, on the ground. As her mind slowly registers this, Videl feels a slight pressure from someone, or something, on top of her. Slowly opening her eyes, she sees the face of the boy who was fighting Cell. It is only mere inches from her own.

"Are you ok?" The boy asks, concern filling his voice and turquoise eyes.

Videl tries to answer, but only succeeds in choking on the dust in the air. "I-I'm ok." She finally manages to squeak out after coughing. "Would you mind getting off me now?"

"Oh…umm…sorry." Gohan says, blushing as he staggers to his feet.

Neither notice the short man stop right behind Gohan, a mischievous grin on his face.

"My name is Celina. And how the hell do you know about Saiya-jins?" She says angrily while glaring at Vegeta, not noticing his black hair and eyes, when a ki blast lands in the middle of them.

"As much as I'd like to see you fight amongst yourselves, I think the boy needs your help." Cell says.

"What do you care you monster!" Yamcha shouts at him.

"I just want a descent fight. And I know the kid is the only one here who can give me one." Cell says disinterestedly while forming another ki blast in his hand. "Now are you going to give him one of those Senzu beans or should I just kill you all right now?"

"Uhh…no. I'll give Gohan a Senzu bean." Krillin says as he grabs the small brown bag from Goku and walks towards Gohan. As he nears them he can clearly see Gohan lying on top of Videl. A grin spreads across his face as he stops right behind Gohan. "Is your girlfriend ok Gohan?" He says, the grin turning into a smirk.

"She's fi…WHAT? SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND! I DON'T EVEN KNOW HER!" Gohan yells as both he and Videl turn red.


"Well that's not what it looked like to me. I mean it looked like you two were mak…"

"Is there a reason you came over here?" Gohan interrupts.

"Yeah. Cell wants you to have a Senzu bean." Krillin says as he takes one out of the small bag in his hand and giving it to Gohan. "I guess you can too." He adds upon seeing the various cuts and bruises on Videl as he hands her one as well.

"It's a Senzu bean. You eat it and it heals you." Gohan says as he pops the small bean into his mouth. Almost immediately after swallowing it, his injuries disappear.

Videl looks on in shock as Gohan tests out the arm that had been dislocated only seconds before. "H-how?"

"I don't really know. Just eat it. You'll feel better." Gohan urges as he watches Cell float in the air a ways off.

A surprised look appears on Videl's face after chewing and swallowing the crunchy bean as the cuts and bruises disappear along with the headache she got from hitting her head. "This is…this is…"

"An annoying scene delaying my fight with the boy." Cell finishes for her. "Now run away before I decide to kill you earlier then planned." He adds while creating a ball of ki in his hand.

Krillin does not waste any time and quickly flies back to the other Z-Senshi. But Videl, either in fear or shock, stays next to Gohan.

"I see that one of you has a death wish." Cell says with a smirk as a thin beam of light shoots from an outstretched finger.

Gohan looks on in shock as the beam goes cleanly through Videl, piercing her heart. He watches the blood drain from her face, making her skin ashen. The blood oozing from the wound stains her shirt a dark red as her legs start to give out. In the distance he can hear the woman scream as she and her husband watch their child fall to the ground, seemingly in slow motion.

Oh no! I did it again! Man I'm torturing Videl in this fic.

A few things about this story:

I'm writing this purely for fun. I have not set a minimum chapter length for myself with this one, although I'll try to make each chapter at least 1000 words. Updates for this fic will be random since I'm also working on 3-4 other fics at this time.

Please Review.
