Chapter 13
Gohan woke up to the sound of pounding on his front door. "Gohan open up!" Shouted a strange voice from the other side of the door. "I'm coming!" Gohan yelled as he opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door 2 saiyans came in as if they owned the place. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Gohan asked confused.
"Son Gohan you are under arrest for the crime of mating with someone outside the saiyan race."
Gohan had a metal collar placed around his neck. If he tried to escape the collar would send and electrical charge through his body, stunning him. "Is the human girl here with you?" asked one of the saiyans.
"Yes, she's in my room, asleep." Gohan replied.
One of the saiyans retrieved Videl who was dressed only in bed sheets. "Kami, can't a girl sleep without some psycho saiyan cop coming in and taking her away?"
"You may dress, but then you are to come with us to King Vegeta's palace to stand trial." One of the saiyan cops said.
After Videl was dressed the 2 saiyans took Gohan and Videl to King Vegeta's palace. They appeared in front of Vegeta himself who was sitting on his thrown with Bulma by his side. "Your highness we have retrieved Son Gohan and his mate as you requested." Said one of the saiyans.
"Ah good, Lieutenant am I right?" Vegeta asked.
"Yes, your highness." Gohan said as he bowed his head.
"Gohan I am ashamed, I never would have thought one of my highest ranking officers such as yourself would have gone so low as to mate with a slave, a human slave at that."
"I was willing to do it." Gohan said.
"You were willing to commit a crime that you knew would banish you from your home! Why may I ask." Vegeta said.
"Because I fell in love with this woman and for that I am willing to everything and anything for that, your highness." Gohan said, as he looked Vegeta right in the eye.
"If that is your reason that I'm sorry, but you are here by banished from this very planet. If you ever set foot on Vegeta again you and your mate will be hunted down and eliminated, that is all." Vegeta stated.
Gohan lowered his head, he never imagined he would have been banished like this. He was at least hoping his father would come and testify on his behalf. Just then the doors to the royal chambers flew open and in stepped Goku and Chichi. Gohan smiled, his father always liked to make an entrance.
"What do you want Kakkarott?" Vegeta asked.
"Your highness please stop. I would like to testify." Goku said.
"I'm sorry Kakkarott, this trial is over, I have made my decision." Vegeta said.
"Vegeta let General Kakkarott speak."
Vegeta looked over to see his wife staring daggers at him. Vegeta sighed, damn that woman.
"Humph, very well you may speak.
"Thank you, your highness." Goku said, "your highness, my son may have mated outside of our species and that I'm am ashamed of, but he also saved many lives as well. You see not only did my son save are ship from the Ginyu Force, but he also turned to the legendary super saiyan." Goku stated.
"He what, no he didn't Kakkarott, I can except Gohan saving a few lives, but turning super saiyan and defeating the Ginyu Force is way beyond belief." Vegeta said.
"What if I told you I have proof." Goku said.
"Proof, ha, what did you bring, one of the Ginyu Force's members?" Vegeta laughed.
"No, even better, I shall allow Gohan to demonstrate, go ahead Gohan." Goku said.
Gohan nodded and powered up. His eyes went from black to green and his hair from ebony to gold. Everyone in the room stared at Gohan, it had been more than 3,000 years since the legend last came true and now here right before their eyes was the legend in living color. "I don't believe it, yet he's real." Vegeta said astonished.
"After everyone was done staring Vegeta spoke, "Kakkarott I must believe you now, but a crime can not go unpunished. Gohan you may stay on planet Vegeta, but you and your mate are to go to the Desert of Souls to live, if you come back to the royal city without permission from the Royal Congress than I shall stick to my original decision and you will be banished forever from planet Vegeta, do you understand?" Vegeta asked as he looked down at Gohan.
Gohan couldn't believe his ears, he had not been banished, the Desert of souls was miles from in form of civilization, but Gohan rather live there than on a distant planet light years away from his home. Gohan shook his head excitedly. "Thank you, your highness."
"YOU are to be ready to leave in 8 days from now, is that understood, and I will not strip you of your ranking, but you will never be allowed to become an elite." Vegeta said.
"Yes your highness, and thank you again." Said Gohan as he bowed and the 2 saiyan cops took off the collar from around his neck.
