After several hours of futile efforts of trying to turn invisible Goku and Trunks head over to Goku's house to check up on Gohan. Piccolo stays at Capsule Corps to train in the gravity room. On the way to the Son residence, Trunks asks, "Don't you think that my dad's going to get really mad when he finds out Piccolo's been using his gravity room."
Goku smiles, "Don't you mean IF he finds out?"
Trunks copies the sneaky smile, "I really didn't know you had it in you."
They drop down to the front door of the house and go inside. To Goku's surprise, they find Videl in the living room, waiting for Gohan to wake up. Videl gets up and says, "Hello Mr. Son, Mrs. Son already told me what happened. Is Gohan going to be alright?"
Goku says, "I'm sure he will. I'm going to try and get him up now."
"Could you really?"
"I'll give it my best shot." He sees ChiChi sitting in the kitchen, sipping some tea, obviously worried about her boys. Goku walks behind her and pecks her on the neck, "Hi ChiChi."
ChiChi says sadly, "Oh Go-Chan, I'm so worried about our boys."
Goku strokes her cheek with his hand, "Don't worry ChiChi. We'll get everything back to normal, like we always do."
ChiChi nods and says flatly, "Yes. Go and get Gohan back."
Goku leaves her reluctantly and turns to Trunks, "Stay down here, okay?" He goes up the stairs over to Gohan's room. Seeing his son so pale and unable to move, Goku almost feels like he is in his own state of helplessness.
A voice behind him says, "He doesn't seem alive at all when he's like that." Goku turns and sees that Videl followed him. Videl says, "But sometimes he screams and screams like somebody's torturing him. But he never wakes up."
Suddenly Gohan screams, startling everyone, "NOOO! DON'T HURT THEM! MOM! DAD! NO!"
Goku hurries by Gohan's side, "Gohan, I'm here. I'm right here. Everything will be okay."
Videl says, "Hold him down a sec."
Goku turns and demands, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to give him some medicine."
"Medicine to do what?!"
Surprised by Goku's tone, Videl says, "It's a sedative, it calms him down so he won't hurt himself." She reveals a rather large syringe filled with green liquid, in her hand.
Goku turns a ghastly pale color and shrieks, "Nuh-nuh-nuh-NEEDLE!" And in a fright he jumps under Gohan's bed, trying to keep the needle away from him. Videl sweatdrops and moves to give Gohan the shot. Without warning a small ki blast comes out from under the bed, destroying the syringe.
Goku yells from under the bed, "Don't put that stuff in him anymore! It's poison to him! When you sedate someone when they're in mind control, they can still be tortured! If you sedate him, he'll be powerless to do anything! And that will kill him!"
Videl shakes with shock, "Wh-what? Oh Kami, what have I done? I just made things worse!"
Goku says, "You did what you thought was best. But now we know that was wrong and it has been corrected. I don't think too much harm was done. It'll just be harder to pull him out."
Videl says meekly, "Okay. I hope you're right." Then comes an awkward silence. "Um...Mr. Son? Why are you still under the bed?"
"I'm stuck and I can't get out."
Videl shakes her head with amusement, "Okay, I'll help you." She grabs Goku's hands in an attempt to pull him out and get unstuck. Then Gohan begins screaming again.
Goku yelps, "Videl, maybe you should hurry it up a bit!"
Videl growls, "I'm trying!" She pulls with all her might, and Goku pops out from under the bed...and crashes into the opposite wall.
Goku smiles from his upside down position against the wall, "Well, that was fun."
"Mr. Son! Don't forget Gohan!"
Goku jumps up and goes over to Gohan's side, "Man, I really hope this works." He places his hand on Gohan's forehead and concentrates. He suddenly looks like he's discovered a gold mine and then... he starts screaming too.
Videl asks, "Mr. Son! Are you alright?"
He says, "No. Leave me. I connected with Gohan. I- AAAAAH!!" He trembles all over and whispers, "Gohan. It's me, your dad. Let me help you, I- KAKAROT! GIVE HIM BACK! GOHAN, FIGHT HIM!"
Gohan whispers, "I'm trying Dad. I feel so weak...."
Goku yells, "NO! GOHAN!" Goku opens his eyes and whispers, "No. I lost him. I almost had him back, but Kakarot took him. I couldn't stop it. I couldn't do anything."
Videl attempts to make him feel better, despite how shaken up all the screaming made her, "Look, you did the best you could. Which is better than any of us ever did."
Goku looks at Gohan, who had fallen back into a stupor, "I'm sorry, son. I will get you back, but I need to get stronger. I swear I'll get you back though."
Trunks waits for Goku to come back down in the living room, and hears shuffling feet coming down the stairs. He looks up and sees Goku with a not too common defeated look on his face. Trunks asks, "Gohan isn't awake?"
Goku says, "Trunks."
"Yeah?"
"Help me practice turning invisible."
