Chap 5, Frieza's Offer and Threat
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So . . . young Gohan is a Super Saiyan. Well, we'll just have to use that to our advantage!" Frieza said and cackled. "Bring him to me! He will make a perfect war slave!"
"Yes Master Frieza! I shall do your bidding" answered (uh . . . um . . . don't kill me!) Mustard. (A/N: Isn't that one of the names of the freaky men with Frieza?)
~*~*~*~
I hadn't seen Gohan for two weeks and yet I feel like I hadn't seen him in two years.
But today, that all that ended. Everyone, including us humans were crowded into the same arena ChiChi died in. I was right by the medal gate and I looked inside to see some bug-looking creep. Blue antennas stuck from his head, twitching back in forth with the sounds of people's cheers, two ENORMOUS eyeballs eyed around the arena.
The next thing I knew Frieza appeared, dragging Gohan behind him by a chain. I knew that Gohan could easily escape the chain and by the look on Frieza's face I knew he did to.
~*~*~*~FLASHBACK~*~*~*~
"Gohan . . . long time no see" Frieza said smoothly. Gohan glared.
"Should have kept it that way too" Gohan said, saying his thoughts openly.
"I know you remember what happened. Who could forget? I've heard tell of you a sacred Super Saiyan. They do not lie, do they?" Frieza said in his snake like voice.
"Get to the point Frieza. I'm not going to play your game" Gohan said.
"I shall give you two choices. We are having fights with other planets and they send they're strongest fighter to fight one of ours. I would personally do it, but why do it when there's a Super Saiyan to do it for me? You fight, or I'll pay your family a little visit. You don't want to cause more deaths in your family cause you were too much of a coward, do you?" Frieza asked knowingly. Gohan's blood boiled as he looked at Frieza's sneering face.
"I guess I don't have an option with it, do I?" Gohan said uneasily. He shifted on his feet and suddenly became really interested in the floor.
"Not unless you want your little brother dead" Frieza said coolly. Gohan closed his eyes and wished he didn't have to say the words he was gonna say. But the last thing he wanted was Goten dead too.
"I'm under your power"
~*~*~*~END OF FLASHBACK~*~*~*~
Gohan's eyes were hard and cold, yet with a something far in them that said something I couldn't see or at least understand. He met my eyes and we just stared, not breaking the connection. The connection was broken by Frieza jerking Gohan's head back. I saw Frieza whispering something to him and I knew it was threatening words of some sort. He unchained Gohan and withdrew to his compartment above them.
"Let the fight begin!" Frieza yelled.
The bug-man attacked first, throwing dozens of punches at Gohan's face. Gohan moved so fast no one could see him. He was just a golden blur as he moved. I tried to focus my eyes the way I'd heard the Saiyans say and I saw bits of flashes, a golden one and a green one battling it off. All of a sudden the bug-man fell from the air to the ground, writhing in pain. Gohan landed on the ground and stared down at the bug-man. He walked over to the bug-man's side and stared at the bug.
"Kill him! Kill him!" the Saiyans all around chanted. I looked around at them and then at Gohan.
"Gohan kill him" Frieza yelled. Gohan bit his lip and kneeled down by the body.
"Give me an honorable death" the bug-man squeaked.
"If that's how you want to die" Gohan responded. "I'll make it quick"
Gohan drew a ki ball into his hand and shot it through the bug-man's heart (that is if bugs have hearts . . . hmmm). The bug-man smiled. "Thank you . . . " he murmured then went into his death.
Gohan bit his lip and stood up, closed his eyes and shook his head. Gohan turned and walked away from the body. Sighs of boredom escaped the Saiyans. That's when I noticed his hair was flaming gold, his eyes like a crystal. He caught my gaze and for some reason smiled softly. All I could do was stare, as all the other Saiyans were doing. Gohan, I knew he was a Super Saiyan, but why was he doing what Frieza told him to do?
~*~*~*~
I ran. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. Tears were flung on my face by my eyes. I saw nothing, but a pitch black night. I tripped and fell onto the ground, scraping my knee with proof since it was bleeding. I didn't bother to try to get up as a clutched the ground surrounding me as I smudged my cheek with dirt from the earth.
"Videl" a male someone said. They said it affectionately, but sadly. The person approached me and sat down near my head. He pulled me to him and I fell on his lap, my head resting on his shoulder. I felt warm and protected. He kissed my forehead and whispered in my ear.
"Videl, you'll have to leave sometime. You can't stay here. I've got to get you out of this place. You and the others. I know you don't want to stay" he whispered. He suddenly looked up, but I couldn't see what he stared at. "Run Videl. RUN!"
I got up with protest and did as I was ordered. That's when I heard a pained groan . . .
~*~*~*~
I jumped up and felt the sweat on my forehead. I shivered in the night air and saw Erasa open her eyes slowly. She got up and pouted.
"What is it Videl?" she groaned.
"Bad dream, well, I think it's a bad dream . . . it did sorta have a good part in it. But that part didn't last too long . . . so was it good or bad?" I said, speaking my scattered thoughts.
"Bad! Happy? Now go to sleep!" Erasa muttered annoyed.
"I don't think I can" I whispered. Erasa immediately was in my face, any sign of sleepiness had disappeared.
"What happened? Huh? What happened?" Erasa asked inquisitively. I blinked a few times as I tried to adjust better to the darkness.
"Well . . . I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell you" I mumbled. "You see I was running and crying when I fell down and my knee got a bloody scrape. This guy helped me up and pulled me into his lap where he kissed my forehead. He started whispering about getting me and others out. But he went quiet and told me to run. So I did and I remember hearing pained groans and I woke up"
"Hmm . . . interesting. Very interesting" Erasa said in one of those deep detective voices. I gave her the evil eye and slapped her arm.
"You didn't care about any of the facts after the guy came in did you?" I accused the boy-crazy blonde.
"Was he cute?!" she said, not even listening to what I had to say before.
"I couldn't tell, but his voice was warm and his hold was so protective and I felt safe" I found myself saying and snapped back to reality. I wasn't about to let the giggling teen find me all mushy-gushy about some guy I didn't even really know.
"Harsh dream, yet somehow assuring, if you get my drift" Erasa said, while fluttering her eyelashes.
"I don't" was my descriptive respond.
"Well you see the part with him in pained agony was harsh. Yet it was assuring you that there was someone there for you if something came along your way! You get it now?"
"Sense when have you become so well . . . wordy I guess?" I mumbled.
"I've always been smart and intelligent!" Erasa cried out softly.
"Name a time"
"Uh . . . well . . . how should I know?!"
"You are you. That's why" I said then said teasingly. "Dumb blonde"
Erasa rolled her eyes and pushed me back down. "I need sleep so shut up for heaven's sake" (A/N: Okay, for anyone who is getting this wrong, here's the situation. Videl and Erasa have to sleep on a hard bench together. Don't make a face! This is not a slash! There!)
~*~*~*~
"Gohan!" Goku shouted. Gohan turned and looked at his father.
"What is it, Dad?" he asked.
"What's going on! Why were you out there?" Goku demanded.
"Frieza wanted me to fight the guy"
"And he put you in chains before you fought? And since when have you been a Super Saiyan?!"
"Ever since I saw you go Super in the woods" Goku suddenly was frozen to his spot, staring Gohan in the eyes.
"How do you know about that?" Goku ordered fiercely.

Sorry guys about it taking me so long to update! I've just been sick (my dad wouldn't let me on the computer!) and had a bit of a writer's block. Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Is this a cliffhanger? Too me it sorta is, but it might not take you too long to find out what's going on. I, hopefully, will be able to put another chapter up soon.
