Chapter 3

I cannot stay my hand
From reaching out so that I can
Empower you
For all eternity

Videl peered through w3hat was left of the window and looked down upon an unconscious Gohan laying on his back with his arms and legs sprawled in various directions. She gasped and rushed down to the main floor of the Satan mansion. Flying out the front door Videl went to Gohan she bent down to the demi saiyan and examined him. Videl felt the back felt the back of Gohan's head for any injuries sustained from the impact, but fortunately there was only a small goose egg.

Videl then debated on what to do next. She didn't want to stay there; for fear that Gohan would awake and begin his terrorizing all over again. Videl figured Chichi would want to know what had happened, but Videl didn't want to leave the woman alone with a potential threat to her life. The only person she could think of that could possibly handle Gohan was Vegeta. Videl had never met the prince in person, but from what she had heard she wasn't going to be eager to meet him. Still going to Capsule Corp. was probably the best place for Gohan.

Videl went to get her jet copter since Gohan would be too difficult to try to fly and carry Gohan at the same time. After getting the copter Videl went to try and pick Gohan up off the ground. After a few unsuccessful attempts Videl was finally able to get Gohan up into the passenger seat. She buckled his seat belt then got in on the other side. After starting up the jet copter it was off to Capsule Corp.

After a long time of flying the copter finally landed on the property of Capsule Corp. Just as Videl was getting out of her seat a hand rested on her shoulder and she turned around to see Bulma smiling back at her. "Hey Videl, what are you-"

Bulma stopped as she took notice of Gohan's motionless body still inside the copter. "Um, what's going on?"

"Well you see, Gohan came over to my house to talk to me about something. All of a sudden he started shaking and then turned into this crazy psychotic person."

Bulma's face paled, "oh no."

"What?" asked Videl.

No answer came, only the site of Bulma running off back into Capsule Corp. Videl raised an eyebrow and began following the older woman. Just as she got to the entrance the doors slid open and out walked the prince. "It's time."

"Time for what?"

"Just help me get the brat onto this stretcher, quickly."

Videl quietly followed Vegeta back to her copter. Vegeta picked Gohan up by his underarms while Videl picked up his legs. They both then began wheeling the stretcher back inside. On the way Videl repeated her question, "time for what?"

Vegeta finally acknowledged Videl. "Time for you to decide the brat's fate."

Videl raised an eyebrow. "Ok…"

The rest of the short trip was in silence as the two saiyans and Videl finally came upon the lab. Vegeta pressed some random buttons on a keypad, the lab doors opened and they entered. Videl watched as Vegeta left the two and walked silently over to Bulma, who was looking at something through a microscope. The prince came up behind his mate, wrapped his powerful arms around her and whispered something in her ear. Bulma giggled and playfully pushed Vegeta away. He smirked at Bulma, but frowned again when he saw Videl was staring at the couple. Bulma stood and straightened her lab coat while walking over to the younger woman. "He's still unconscious, good. Hopefully he'll stay that way until I've gathered enough information."

Vegeta walked over and stood beside Bulma. "Woman, you don't need to collect info, you already know what's wrong with him."

"But there has to be some kind of scientific explanation for this all. What if it happens again with Trunks or Goten."

"There is no explanation for why it happens, it just does. If it happens to the other brats when the time comes, we'll be ready. It may not happen though. It happened to the boy though because he's not fully appreciative of who and what he is. He still blames himself for his father's death. That's why this all happened in my personal opinion."

Videl was now the one to speak. "Wait, hold on a second, what's going on?"

Both adults stopped their quarrelling and looked over to the young woman. "Gohan's changing, something's happening to him." Bulma said.

"No shit, I can see that. He almost tried to kill me in my own home. What I want to know is what's going on with him and why."

Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Enough woman let me handle this one."

The prince went to sit down and so did Videl, while Bulma hooked up various monitors to Gohan. "You see Videl, Gohan's not a pure blood. It's been along time since I've seen a half saiyan, and I've seen a similar case to the brat's before. What appears to be happening is an internal battle of sorts between his human and his saiyan side. The violence you experienced at your house, that was Gohan's saiyan side coming out. It won't be long before his saiyan blood eventually wins, and he becomes full saiyan, unless-"

"Unless what?"

"Unless you mate with him."

Videl face bunched up. "What?"

Vegeta smirked. "Unless you mate with him. This is what happened with the first case I saw. After the saiyan mated he was fine, became stronger actually. You have to show Gohan that he's fine the way he is, give his human side the confidence and high moral it lacks right now to keep his saiyan side in check. Think of it as a self-esteem booster."

Videl couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Why do I have to do that, isn't there something else you can do."

Vegeta shook his head. "No there's no other way. You either mate with him within the next 24 hours or the Gohan you know and love will probably never be again."

"But we've never discussed doing anything like that."

Vegeta sighed. "Look do you love the brat."

Videl nodded.

"Good then it's settled, you either mate with him, or leave him."

It seems to ease my mind
To know that you've brought
Meaning to my life
