Chapter 5 – The Beginning of the End

----

Gohan's heart seemed to stop, and the already black room seemed to get darker. The thunder and lightning seemed to become more intense, and it was all because of the voice, which called from the entrance of the house. He just knew he was going to die... why did Dende have to be so cruel?!

"Brat! Kakarot's spawn! Where the hell are you?!" exclaimed the saiyan. His voice seemed to get closer. These few seconds passed, and Gohan was becoming desperate... Here was Vegeta, a full-blooded saiyan who was proud of his heritage. Here was Gohan, he was afraid of people KNOWING of his heritage. To someone who knew how big of a dilemma this would be, they would have sympathy for the teen. Of course, Dende wasn't as nice as everyone else since the lookout was destroyed.

All of Gohan's friends seemed to quiet down. Maybe this was some crazy man... But, why would he be looking for his child and calling him that? That might have been more of an insult than a true name. But that was what was going thru the human teen's heads at the moment since they didn't know Vegeta that well... actually, they didn't know him at all! They would soon meet him though... Bless their poor souls.

All teens gasped when they noticed a soft blue glow come from the other room, which seemed to be coming closer! All knowledge of the photo album left the teen's minds and it gave Gohan the time to move it to a better hiding place.

When Vegeta entered the room, both chibi's were hiding under the blankets while sitting on top of the female's laps. But what surprised the humans was the light that Vegeta held in his palm. There was no candle, and no flashlight. It just seemed to be a blue neon ball of light!

"Ah, you're here Spawn of Kakarot," stated Vegeta as a smirk came onto the prince's face. It was seen by the dim light his life energy was giving off. He walked into the darkened room more and smirked when he noticed two shaking blankets on the human female's laps. Vegeta slowly walked over to them; he didn't even make a sound till he grabbed the blanket off of Videl's lap.

Videl wasn't sure about this short, crazy man. From this little glowing trick that he had in his palm, he sounded like one of those guy's that were from the Cell Games that her dad described. Magicians were what her father called them.

When the blanket was lifted, Goten's cheerful smile showed up on his face. "You found me!" he exclaimed with out a care in the world. Vegeta's lip seemed to twitch as he went over to the other blanket. But before picking it up to reveal his son, he asked Goten.

"Kakarot spawn," Videl winced. 'What a degrading name,' she thought. "Did my brat turn Super?" Gohan's face paled even more as he stood in the corner of the room and Goten's expression... well... it was as cheerful as it could get.

"Yep!" the chibi exclaimed, "He did turn super!"

"In front of these puny humans?" asked Vegeta with a smirk.

"PUNY?! I am anything BUT puny!" exclaimed Videl as she jumped up from her seat and stood before him. 'How dare he?! I am one of the strongest females on this planet!'

The saiyan prince turned to Videl with a glare. He looked at her up and down, and then began to circle her. 'Not bad...' thought the saiyan as he looked up to Gohan. He seemed to be fuming, yet fearful.

"Not bad..." muttered the prince as he scanned her ki energy level. Maybe he did under estimate her... He walked back before Videl with a smirk growing on his face. "Maybe you aren't so puny as I had thought..." The prince grabbed one of her arms with his hands to see if it had any fat on them. From what he felt, it was all lean muscle.

Videl tried to snatch her arm back, but was VERY unsuccessful. This man was STRONG! Maybe stronger than her! She inwardly growled.

When Vegeta let go of her arm he looked back to Gohan. "You have chosen well." He looked back to Videl, the classic Vegeta smirk plastering onto his face, "She would be the perfect mate for you."

The two chibi's from the other side of the room burst out laughing. Of course, Trunks was laughing harder since he knew what was already going on. Vegeta glared to his son as he came out from the blanket that covered him on Erasa's lap.

"Are you mocking me?!" questioned the prince becoming peeved. Trunks began to laugh harder as he jumped from the teen's lap and ran up to his dad. He motioned for his dad to come down to listen. With the rolling of eyes the prince did and he heard his son whisper, "I think he's already bonding with her!"

Vegeta's smirk returned, and it became eviler than ever. "Is that so?" asked the prince standing up once more. Trunks nodded. "Yep!"

"Well, well then..." Vegeta began to make his way up to Gohan. The hybrid saiyan teen was now becoming very embarrassed. Yep the saiyans were going to ruin his life.

During this time, Erasa and Sharpener were too shocked to say anything! One moment there was this guy, with this strange glow-in-the-dark ball in his palms enter the room. The next he was saying that they were weak... then he was stating that Videl would be a good 'Mate' for Gohan?! "What is going... on?" asked Erasa very confused. She looked back down to where a book was to be, but it wasn't there! She looked to Sharpener, and he looked back. The two just shrugged as they looked back to their friends.

Videl was fuming. 'What in the world does this guy mean by mates?!' She was just about to growl out loud in frustration.

Gohan was sweating like crazy. 'Why did Vegeta have to come here at THIS time?! Why did he have to have the ki ball in his hands while coming in here? He can see just FINE in the dark!'

"Gohan." The black haired teen looked over to his friend. "What do you mean by, 'why did he have to come here with a ki ball in his hands'? What the HECK is 'ki'?" she asked crossing her arms.

"I didn't say any of that..." stated Gohan nervously.

"Yeah Videl. You must be hearing things again..." stated Erasa to her friend.

"Dammit! I know what I heard! Gohan stated something about this 'ki' thing!" Videl pointed to the ball of light in Vegeta's palm. She immediately looked to Gohan with a glare. "And I want my answers NOW!"

Vegeta was slowly getting what was happening, and he now understood his son's words. A dark chuckle rumbled in his throat as he turned to the two teens with this new knowledge that he had with these two teens. But first... he wanted to have some fun.

"You want to know what ki is, Girl?" asked Vegeta as he walked up to her. He noticed the black haired human female nod her head quickly.

"Yes! I want to know that this 'ki' is! And what it does!" she answered back becoming excited. Now, Vegeta wasn't feeling so merciful at the moment to the hybrid saiyan teen which stood in the corner as white as a ghost. And with the thought of a good spar later on, he continued on.

"Okay then," stated the prince as he got in the middle of the room, "But I must say that I am quite surprised that Kakarot's brat," he pointed to Gohan, "didn't tell you about this sooner." Vegeta smashed the ki energy that was in his palm so the room could be darker as it had originally been. Speaking in the dark, he started.

"Ki energy is your life energy. All saiyans, and some of the stronger humans, although they can't surpass our great strength, can use this ki energy too." The room lit up once more as the blue glowing aurora enveloped Vegeta. The humans could feel the power, and for some strange reason winds came up, and whipped their hair around. All could see the room clearly although everything seemed to be a shade of blue or white. But the humans noticed the saiyan's smirk. "And this," he created another ball of light. This one was more of a fireball than the gentle glowing ball of light he had before. "...is a ki ball." With the smirk growing wider, he threw it at Gohan.

Many gasps were heard as the ball of light came closer and closer to Gohan. He was close to panic when he noticed Vegeta create the ball of light! He knew his friends would be asking him all of these questions that he didn't want to answer, and they would think of him as a freak... But when the ball of ki was thrown at him his worries of all that had been revealed to his friends vanished, as his main concern was to dodge, or destroy the energy before it destroyed him. Gohan powered up enough to where he could grab the energy, and destroy it with his hands so it wouldn't harm him. Unfortunately, the power level was almost as high as Vegeta's was. So he too had a glowing power aurora enveloping his body.

Being snapped back into reality, his warrior gaze on Vegeta vanished as he powered down and placed a hand behind his head. The room became dimmer with out the second aurora. Gohan began to chuckle nervously.

"G-Gohan?!" questioned Videl as she gazed at her friend wide eyed. "You have some questions to answer!" she exclaimed stomping her foot on the floor and crossing her arms. The black haired teen gulped as he watched her. She was starting to act like his mother! Gohan just hoped that she wouldn't bring out the frying pan. Gohan unconsciously shivered. 'Damn that evil pan!'

Chichi made it back to her seat in the living room. In the mean time, Bulma had found a candle not far away from where she was sitting, and lit it. It provided SOME light for them to look around.

"Oh, I sure hope Gohan and his friends are okay!" exclaimed Chichi as sobbed in her hands. "I just know Vegeta's going to ruin my baby's chance to having a wife and to starting a family!!!" Bulma gave a small sigh as she patted her friend on the back.

"Don't worry Chichi. If it is true that the girl, Videl, will be your future daughter-in-law, then she wouldn't have a problem with you're son being half alien, or with my husband... or with our kids jumping around and running on the walls..." Bulma placed a worried finger on her cheek. "Okay so maybe we DO have a problem..."

Chichi glared up at Bulma, "I'm not worried that she would want to know more about Gohan! I'm worried that she's will get herself KILLED with our children's ki's and with your husband around! We already know that Trunks went Super!" Bulma gave a sad nod.

"Yes... that is true..."

Chichi then became hysterical, "Oh! I will NEVER get to see my grand children!" Bulma could only pat her friend on the back... then a thought hit her.

"Say Chichi..." started Bulma, "Where did you come from before you arrived here earlier?"

Chichi thought for a moment. "Well... I had left for town to buy some new clothes for the boys and me... and then I went to the supermarket! After that... I... rushed here... because of the..." Chichi stopped in mid- sentence. "Oh no." She looked over to the blue haired scientist in horror. "The boys don't have any food at home!"
