"All soldiers report to the Loading Bay." came a voice over the intercom.
Gohan sighed. He would now have to leave Videl to go out and fight an enemy that wasn't worth fighting. Videl stirred form her slumber as she heard the loud noise of the intercom. "What the hell is that noise?"
"I have to go now Videl, I promise you I will come back." Gohan said as he kissed Videl.
Gohan grabbed his things and before leaving he looked back over his shoulder and looked one last time at his love.
"Good luck Gohan, and come back alive." Said Videl as she hugged Gohan.
Gohan smiled and said, "don't worry, I will."
"You better." Said Videl.
At that Gohan smiled again and gave Videl one final kiss and he was gone.
"There you are." Said Goku.
"Yes father, sorry I'm late." Said Gohan.
"It's all right, now do you know your objective?" asked Goku.
"Yes, me and my men are to make our way to the planet's capital city and see if the planet's leader is still alive, and if he is gather whatever men he has and defend the city." Said Gohan.
"Good, now get in you pod, your leaving in 3 minutes." Said Goku.
"Yes sir." Said Gohan.
Gohan hopped into his pod and closed the hatch. "Pod 2906 now taking off, good luck soldier." Said the flight director.
"Thank you sir." Gohan replied.
At that Gohan's pod was hurdled from the Loading Bay towards its destination. When Gohan landed he immediately got out and started rounding up his men. "Ok men, here is what we are to do, we are to try and make our way to the capital city undetected, if we are detected try and avoid any fighting and make it to the city's outer defense wall in one piece. Once at the outer walls you are to fly to the capital's Hall and wait there for further instructions. I should be there first, but if I'm not there when Calasky gets there then he is in charge with giving the rest of you orders, understood." Said Gohan.
"Yes sir." Said Gohan's men in unison.
"All right then, move out." Said Gohan.
Each man was to have a partner incase something happened. Each pair of men was to consist of a weaker and stronger man that way no pair would consist of 2 weak men. Gohan was paired with a third class saiyan who didn't like taking orders from anybody, rather he liked to do what he thought was right.
"We should go this way." Said Gohan.
"No we should go this way." Said his partner.
"Why the hell would you want to go that way, huh? There's more guys that way than this way." Said Gohan.
"If we go my way we won't have to fight as strong as guys." Said Gohan's partner
"Yeah, but if we go my way there are less guys." Said Gohan.
"But they're stronger."
"I rather deal with 6 strong guys than 38 weaker ones, the weak have a greater chance of sneaking up on you." Said Gohan.
"True, ok let's go your way."
"Finally." Said Gohan.
Gohan and his partner actually didn't have to fight anybody, with Gohan knowing how to suppress his power level and his partner's power level lower than Videl's they snuck by with little difficulty. After much dodging and suppressing of power the 2 saiyans finally made it to the outer walls of the capital city. "We're going to have to move fast if we don't want to be blasted down by Frieza's men." Said Gohan as he started to ascend over the wall.
"I rather walk." Said Gohan's partner.
"No we are to fly to the Hall and defend the city at all costs." Said Gohan, "walking would take longer and we have a greater chance of running into trouble."
"Ok, once again sir, you are right."
"I know." Said Gohan.
The 2 saiyans flew through the air as fast as they could. Several blasts were thrown at the 2. Gohan dodged them with ease. His partner on the other hand was having more difficulty and was hit by one he didn't see coming. The saiyan was knocked from the sky and landed with a thunderous "thud" into the ground. Gohan immediately descended to where his partner had fallen and started rummaging through the rubble the other saiyan had fallen into. After several minutes of searching Gohan saw a hand sticking out of the rubble. Gohan finished clearing the rubble from the fallen saiyan's body and what he saw he didn't like. Gohan's partner lay before him in a mass pool of blood on his stomach. Gohan flipped the saiyan over on his back. The saiyan slowly opened his eyes and coughed up some blood. "Ouch, that hurt." Said Gohan's partner weakly and forcing a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll get you out of here." Said Gohan.
"Don't bother, I ain't gonna make it anyway, sir." Said the saiyan.
"Don't say that!" Gohan said raising his voice.
"Sorry sir, but it's the truth. Before I leave this shit hole I have for a life I need to ask you a favor sir." Said the saiyan.
"What." Said Gohan.
"Would you tell that woman I have back home th-that I'm sorry for never making her my mate, that I wanted to wait till after this mission was over." Said Gohan's partner.
"I will." Said Gohan.
"T-thanks s-sir and also tell her th-that I love her." And with that the saiyan took his final breath and was gone from the universe, leaving only the outer shell of his soul.
"Goodbye, soldier." Said Gohan as he the dead saiyan's eyes.
