Chapter 2

They slowly made their way further into the village. The stone buildings all seemed to be empty. Stores were closed and not even a whisper of wind made a sound, as if afraid to enter the village. "Where is everyone?" Gohan asked as they stopped at the town square.

"The castle," Goten said from behind the group, causing everyone to jump.

"How do you know kid?" Vegeta growled.

"Better yet how did you get here?" Goku asked trying to put on his best 'I'm your father' face.

"I've dreamt of this place," Goten said with a glazed look in his eyes as he started toward the castle. It didn't take long to reach the towering, extravagantly carved, front door. On it was carved the same scene as that on the pendant. Sure enough the noise from inside was enough to raise hell. It sure sounded as if a whole village was crammed in there. Goten couldn't believe his eyes, he had dreamed of this place for as long as he could remember. Was this just another dream? Was he still asleep? Had he not really just met his father? He turned around to make sure they were still behind him, half afraid that his newly met father wouldn't be there. But he was. Though they were a little further back behind him and Trunks. Goten turned back to the doors. In his dreams he always opened them to a huge hallway, where an old man would be waiting for him.

"Goten why don't you open the door?" Trunks asked. "You aren't a baby are you?"

"I'm not a baby! I'm not! I'm not! I'm not!" Goten yelled.

"Then why don't you open the door?"

Goten turned away. He couldn't tell Trunks that he was scared, then he would call him a baby. Only one thing to do- He opened the door. This time there was no old man waiting for him, there was no one waiting for him. Indeed he wasn't sure if any one had even noticed the door open, even though it was huge.

"Now this is a party!" Goku said from behind, walking through the doorway, into the huge room. The room could fit at least two football fields in it, but because at least 500 people were crowded in it, it seemed much smaller.

Music was thumping as couples danced and the people sitting clapped. Drinks were being passed round and the smoke left everything in a haze. Laughter filled the air, and it was almost contagious. Everyone was smiling as they entered the room, except Vegeta who determinedly kept a scowl on his face.

Iris was dancing in circles. Eyes closed, arms stretched up. It was the glory of being alive, of surviving another war, of only having one more to try to live through. Everyone felt the same way. Everyone had lost some one here. No! She thought, I can't dwell on that. I've seen what it does to people. I'll drive myself mad. Think only that you are alive. Focus on the good.

She opened her eyes as the front door opened. Years of training and war, caused her to go on the alert, even though the practical part of her brain said it had to be someone she knew, someone from the village. The land was owned by the 12 and had enough curses, hexes and charms to keep out 2 millions of the strongest witches and wizards. Only people with the pendant could get through. Still she was uneasy.

She made her way slowly towards the door. Making her way between people, chairs and tables. When she could finally see who stood there her blood went cold. How? How had they come here? Unless … She dug in her pocket where she kept the pendant. It was empty. What to do? What to do? The captain. She had to take them to the captain.

Videl had to be dreaming. She had just been transported in a bright light to a medieval village with Gohan and his family and friends. It had already been an odd day. Actually her life had been anything but normal since she had met Gohan. But this was the weirdest.

"Gohan. Where are we? If you know you had better tell me!" Videl said.

"Ah," Krillin sighed, " she's already giving you orders." 18 gave him a look. "Just kidding," Krillin laughed.

"It's her," the man called piccolo said. He creeped Videl out. He hardly said anything and he never smiled, or frowned, or showed emotion. Not normal. And he was green, definitely not normal.

"Who?" Gohan asked

"the girl who dropped the Pendant."

Just then the girl appeared. She looked different now. She had changed from her fighting clothes to tight almost skimpy clothes, and her red hair was down now. It was long and wavy. And her green eyes shown with irritation. Or was it fear? As she came up she said urgently, "Please come with me."

"And why should we?" Vegeta snarled.

"Because you have to learn the truth, and the captain will definitely want to talk to you."

"Who are you?" Videl whispered.

"Iris."
