Thank you reviewers!(you know who you are!) Here's the next chapter. I think it's better than the last one.


Last time...

"Nope. Your not crazy." Then before Videl could respond her father came storming out of the house screaming something about boys not being allowed. Videl turned to Gohan and shoved him a bit. "Quick! You have to get out of here! I'll see you tomorrow. If my father sees you, you're dead!"

"Okay, see you tomorrow then." Gohan replied, not wanting to come face to face with that big oaf anyway. He ran around the corner and was gone.


Chapter 7: Double Revealing

For the next five weeks Gohan walked Videl home every single afternoon. He fell in love with her the moment he laid eyes on her that very first time at the robbery. He hadn't told her yet, he was afraid that she wouldn't feel the same way and that she would reject him. For now, he was willing to be just a friend. Videl still hadn't figured out that Gohan was the Gold Fighter. She was close though, Gohan just didn't know it.

Gohan was deep in thought as he arrived at school that day. Mainly because he started to get that feeling again. He was unable to describe it. All he knew was that some evil force was going to attack that very day at 13:36 PM sharp. He would be in Gym class at that time and they would be playing baseball. What he didn't know was where this new threat would strike. He had alerted Vegeta and Piccolo of the impending threat and told them to stay alert. Neither Piccolo nor Dende had been able to sense anything so far.

Walking down the halls of school Gohan didn't even realise that the halls were empty and that he was, quite obviously, late. Just then Videl came running in, and noticing Gohan she stopped to talk to him.

"Hey Gohan!" She said happily. Gohan on the other hand was too deep in thought to register that she was talking to him. This confused Videl. Over the past five weeks she had come to know Gohan as a happy carefree person. Something was obviously bothering him.

"Gohan? Are you alright?" She asked while taking him by his shoulders.

"What..?" He now noticed Videl standing in front of him, holding his shoulders, with a worried expression on her face.

"I asked if you were alright." She repeated.

"Oh! Yeah. Hey, you cut your hair!" Gohan was able to say with a smile. He just noticed that she looked even more beautiful with the new shorter hair. "It looks great on you!"

"Thanks! I was hoping you'd like it. But you're not changing the subject. What's wrong?" She asked again.

Something abruptly happened at that moment that Gohan was totally unprepared for. He felt like his energy was being drained as a searing pain ran through his spine and settled in his entire being. The pain was enormous. He closed his eyes, clenched his fists as he slid down to the ground in agony. He was vaguely aware of Videl kneeling down next to him talking with concern in her voice, but he couldn't make sense of it. The immense pain caused him to moan softly, but what he really wanted to do was scream. Then he saw flashes of a shocking scenario.

A tall black figure with an undetectable energy was approaching earth. A cold aura emanated from the being. His red eyes were empty and cruel. He saw the black, evil being approach a city. Then to his horror he recognised it...Satan City.

As the vision left him he felt the pain leave him too. Slowly he was able to regain himself. Videl's voice started making sense again. The fit had only lasted for about a minute, but it had felt like an eternity. Slowly, and still in a lot of pain, Gohan sat up against the wall, aware that Videl was trying to get him to respond.

"Gohan! Are you alright! Gohan!" She looked completely freaked and concerned.

Gohan finally found his voice. "I'm okay."

"I don't believe you!" She stated clearly. "You were writhing in pain. I saw the contorted look on your face Gohan." She said as her voice became shaky and her eyes began to shine as the moisture started to build. "You're still in pain, I can see it. You look exhausted. I'm taking you to the school nurse."

"NO!" Gohan said abruptly, startling her. "I'm fine. Just let me sit here for a while." he said as he was trying to will away the pain.

"Gohan, you are not fine. Why won't you tell me what's wrong?" She asked sympathetically.

Before Gohan could stop himself he blurted out, "Because you'd think I'm a freak! And I couldn't stand to live if you looked at me fearfully. Because I think I love you." He finished in a whisper. While Videl was still taking in what he had just said Gohan tried to get up. The result wasn't good. He had barely gotten two steps away when he fell to his knees and flat on the floor.

"Gohan!" Videl exclaimed worriedly when she saw him collapse. She knelt down next to him, he was lying on his stomach, and his face was facing to his left. When Videl looked at him she realised that he was unconscious. Checking his pulse she was relieved to find a strong and steady heartbeat. After she had done this she was shocked to see Gohan's hair suddenly turn golden. Videl pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

Sure enough, she was wide awake. She stared down at the golden haired Gohan. "So you are the Gold Fighter." She stated to herself. Gohan groaned in his unconscious state, and then his hair turned back to black. Sweat droplets started forming on his forehead. Videl noticed this and put her hand against his skin. 'Oh my god, you're burning up!' she thought. 'Better get you to the nurse right away.' And with that she took a hold of his arm, put it around her shoulder, and struggled with his limp body to the nurse's office.

"Nurse May!" Videl exclaimed, a bit out of breath, as she stumbled into the room with the unconscious Gohan. "I need some help Nurse May. He collapsed in the hall." she said as the nurse rounded the corner.

"Oh, my goodness, Miss Videl, he looks awful! Here, let's put him on the bed." Videl and the nurse put Gohan on the bed, and then the nurse turned to Videl. "Okay dear. You can head back to class now."

"No! I want to make sure he's okay!" Videl said with determination written all over her face.

"Well, okay dear."

The nurse began her examination of Gohan. She lifted his eyelids and used a small flashlight to peek inside them. Then she took his temperature and mumbled something under her breath.

"What did you just say?" Videl asked with innocent curiosity.

"He has a very high fever. I'm surprised his parents let him come to school. This boy should be in the hospital.

"Is it really that bad?" She asked with wide eyes.

"Um...perhaps not. He needs rest. We'll see how he's doing after school, and if necessary he'll be taken to the hospital."

"I'm staying with him. The teachers won't mind." Videl took a chair and sat down next to Gohan.

"Very well."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Gohan awoke with a start at 12:55 PM. His head hurt but he shrugged it off as he sat up. He was confused to see where he was and that Videl was there. 'What am I doing in here?' he thought. Videl saw his confusion and asked, "Are you okay Gohan? You collapsed in the hall. You had a pretty high fever." Videl was now looking at Gohan to see his reaction.

'I collapsed? Wait! The vision! Satan City is the target! What time is it?' He looked at his watch. '13:01. Only 35 minutes until the attack. I can't believe the pain I felt when the vision started. I wonder why...? I had a similar vision during my fight with Cell. But it didn't hurt as much back then. I could barely feel anything back then. Then again, I was a Super Saiyan 2 at the time. And now I was just normal. Maybe that's why I felt so much pain.' His line of thoughts was interrupted by a female voice.

"Gohan are you okay? You had that exact expression on your face before you sank down to the floor earlier today." Gohan didn't answer, he couldn't find the words. "Gohan?" She asked pleadingly. "Fine! Don't answer me! But just so you know, after you passed out, your hair turned Golden." Gohan looked up in shock. "That's right Mr. Gold Fighter. I know it's you." Then she gently said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Gohan looked into her beautiful eyes and was able to give her a weak smile as he said, "Thanks."

Just then the nurse walked in and saw that Gohan was awake. She took his temperature and told him that he could leave on the condition that he returned home immediately. Gohan wasn't going to do that. Satan City would be attacked in less than twenty minutes. He walked out with Videl and saw that Gym Class had started. He paused, and was just about to sit down on the bench next to the baseball field when Videl's words stopped him.

"Gohan, the nurse told you to go home."

"I can't."

"Well, why not?" She asked confused.

"It's complicated." He said depressed.

"More complicated than...love?" She asked with a smile as Gohan's head shot up to look at her. "You didn't forget what you said earlier, did you?"

"No, I remember. It's just I sorta said it...in the...heat of the moment." He took a deep breath and signalled her to sit down next to him. "I only have about fourteen minutes to tell you about...everything. So here's the condensed version." Gohan started explaining his entire life to her as fast as he could. He didn't know why, but he felt as though he could trust her. It was probably the same factor that made him feel so strongly for her. But, then again, what is love without trust. He told her everything. From Raditz to Frieza to Cell to Keeper, he revealed everything to the beautiful girl in front of him.

"...so in two minutes a monster is going to attack somewhere in Satan City, and that's why I can't leave." Videl was silent. "You probably think I'm a freak." Gohan said sadly. He stood up and walked off, before Videl could do or say anything. When she looked around for him after finally finding her voice, he was gone.

Gohan used his speed to get up on the school roof without anyone noticing him. He sat there, knowing that whatever the black creature from his vision was would be arriving in a mere 90 seconds. As he waited, for what appeared to be an eternity, he hoped that he would be strong enough to defeat this new threat before it got the chance to kill. He couldn't sense anything yet, and that made him worry. 'What if this guy is like the androids and I can't sense him. How am I going to find him?' he thought worriedly. He then stretched out his senses to try and find any trace of the evil being, before it could attack. Nothing.

Then he remembered the vision. 'Of course! The vision! That maniac is going to approach from the northern side of the city. Okay, what places are pretty crowded in the middle of the day at the northern side of the city, because if I were him that's where I would attack.' Gohan thought as the clouds started to seep in from the east. 'The school!' Gohan suddenly realised as he quickly turned to look at the baseball field where many humans were in plain sight. 'Oh no!' He thought as he saw a huge black energy wave with red lightning head straight for the field.

Without thinking he transformed into a Super Saiyan, his hair became golden-blonde once more, his eyes turned green, and his power rose dramatically. Then he stormed forward without any sort of hesitation. He disappeared from the roof and then reappeared between his fellow class mates and the death-bringing blast. He let out a yell while raising his power to a high enough level to deflect the blast.

He raised both his hands in front of him and waited for the blast to make contact. When it finally did Gohan caught the blast with ease. The being noticed his beam being resisted and poured more energy into it. Gohan was slowly forced backwards until his feat made contact with the ground beneath him.

While this was going on the students on the field just stood there. They were surprised to say the least. Videl, who had joined the class after Gohan had disappeared stood there and watched as Gohan was trying to fend off the blast. She felt the wind that was whipped up by the force of the attack rush by past her. She had trouble keeping her footing and put her arms in front of her face, looking between a small gap between her arms she watched, and did not move. 'This can't be a bunch of light tricks like father said. Now that I'm standing so close to it, it's almost as if I can feel how much power is in that thing. It's terrifying! How could father say that it's a trick! Wait a minute! Now I know father wasn't the one who beat Cell. It must have been Gohan. He did speak the truth a few minutes ago. Wow, look at him. He's so determined.'

Gohan's feet had now begun to break the ground beneath him as the sheer force kept pushing him back. All the students just stood there, almost as if they were entranced by the sight. "What are you waiting for!" Gohan yelled at them. "Get the hell out of here before you get killed!" Gohan then transformed to Super Saiyan 2. Physically he didn't change much, his eyes stayed the same and his hair became a little longer, but his power doubled. With a mighty yell he sent the blast back to its owner.

Black feet made contact with the earth, and for the first time Gohan could see his opponent clearly. Light reflected from his entire body, it gleamed in the sun that was still not covered by the clouds. He looked as though he was made entirely of some kind of metal. His eyes were a blood red with no pupils. His smooth black body radiated with an evil black aura. Gohan made eye contact with the being and immediately realised that the fight was not going to be easy.

"What are you all still doing here!" Gohan yelled at the students. "Do you want to get hurt!" A couple of freaked out students left, the rest were intrigued by the sight that met their eyes. They moved further away, but kept the two super powers within their sights. Videl was the closest to the two entities that were about to clash in an all out war. 'Please don't get hurt Gohan.' She thought worriedly as she watched the two.

"So, who are you?" The Super Saiyan asked.

"I am this planet's doom." The being said in a voice, so cold and evil, that it would've made Frieza cower in fear.

"Do you have a name? I generally like to know my opponent's name before I send them to the next dimension." Gohan said in voice filled with sheer determination.

"The name is Gatra. And I know all about you Gohan. Make no mistake, I will be sending you to the next dimension." He said with a laugh as Gohan only looked at him with pure disgust. Then Gatra charged at the warrior before him.

He threw a punch to Gohan's face that he easily side-stepped, in addition Gohan sent his foot into Gatra's back, sending him crashing into the dirt. The school's sport grounds had officially become a battlefield...
