"You mean he will spend eternity in hell!?" Videl yelled.
"Um...yeah. You humans have a nasty habit of asking a question to which you were just given the answer." Karukono observed.
Goku looked at her confusedly.
"What!? It's true."
"All right we get it. Humans are idiots. Yes, we know this. Now can we figure out what we're going to do while your son is roaming around the earth on a killing spree?!" Vegeta demanded.
"I don't know what we could do." Goku stated.
"We have to find him. We have to tell him to give up his powers!" Videl suggested.
"And say what? Um, excuse me Gohan, would you please give up your power so you won't die? Heh. Like he'd believe us." Karukono snorted.
"Well we have to at least try. We don't have anything to loose." Videl ushered them.
"Except for your life that is." Karukono said sarcastically.
Videl took a deep breath as her anger grew. She stomped over to Karukono, grabbed her shirt near the collar and shook as she stared at her.
"You got him into this mess! If it wasn't for you Gohan would still be here. He wouldn't be killing anyone! If something happens and we can't get him back you're the first one to die!" Videl screamed in Karukono's face.
Karukono wriggled free from Videl's grip.
"I'd like to see you try!" Karukono egged on.
"Don't push me Karukono. You're without your powers remember."
"I am a demon remember? Even without my powers, I am still more powerful than humans."
"Who says we are human?" Vegeta kicked in.
Karukono looked aside to see everyone staring at her menacingly. She gulped and looked back at Videl.
"Even if I had never come, he would have broken eventually." "But he wouldn't have received a power boost." Goku informed her.
"True. But it doesn't make much difference. Even without the power boost, he is still stronger than any other."
"Why did you come here anyway?" Piccolo inquired.
"A scientist opened a portal linking the human and demon worlds. I have my reasons for being the one to come through." Karukono answered as she stared deeper into Videls eyes.
"Is the portal still open?" Vegeta asked.
"How should I know? I pretty much crashed the place. I supposed it could be. Why?"
"Think about. We can't sense the energies from the other dimensions. If Karukono is just an average powered demon, imagine how strong the toughest ones would be." Vegeta thought.
"Average demon! I am not just some push over! I'm a third class demon!" Karukono snapped
"Out of how many classes?" Vegeta harassed.
Karukono pouted a little before answering.
"Four..." She answered meekly.
"Hah! So there are much stronger demons out there! We could go there, find the strongest one, and get him to beat Gohan down." Vegeta concocted.
"Wouldn't the demon kill him?" Videl asked worriedly.
"No. We would tell him not to. Just to beat some sense into Gohan. So that he figures out he's not the 'almighty one'. Then we can copse him into giving up his powers." Vegeta assumed.
"It's a good plan, but how to you suppose we go about doing it? Do you really think we can just walk up to the head honcho and ask if he will do us a favor?" Goku wondered.
"We can work out the kinks later. At least I actually put out an idea. That's more than I can say for you Kakorott [spelling...] He is YOUR son you know." Vegeta said.
"Karukono, can you take us through the portal?" Videl asked.
"I suppose. What's in it for me?" "You get to keep your life, and perhaps regain your beloved powers." Vegeta taunted.
"Hmp. Fine."
"Um...e...exuse me? Could you please help me?"
Everyone turned to the voice that spoke weakly. The girl Gohan had been torturing still sat against the wall.
"Oh shit! I forgot all about you!" Goku cursed.
Goku rushed over to her and helped her to her feet. He guided her over to Piccolo, who then healed her. All of her cuts and broses we gone.
"How can I thank you for saving me from that monster?" The girl asked.
"He is not a monster!" Videl screamed.
The girl jumped and grabbed Goku's shirt in a panic.
"Calm down. She won't do anything. She's just a little upset." Goku reassured the girl.
She released his shirt and stared at her feet.
Gohan sat on the edge of a cliff, looking out into the darkening sky. Her stared at the blood that stained his hands. His body twitched and shook. 'Something's not right here. Why do I feel tired?' Gohan thought to himself. Suddenly he felt a familiar urge pang in his head. Without fighting it, Gohan rose to his feet. He flew off into the sky and landed shortly at a small house that stood alone surrounded by forest. A river or stream could be heard in the darkness. A soft, warm yellow gleamed from the window. Voices of a mother and young child could be heard from inside. Gohan walked steadily towards it. He placed his hand on the side of the house as he looked in through the window. Ice began to spread from his hands devouring the house in ice. The voices inside became a little frightened as everything went cold and dark. Gohan phased through the wall and found himself standing in the living room where the people sat huddle next to each other. The woman stood up slowly.
"Please calm down. Please stop." The woman begged.
Gohan grabbed her by the throat at dug his fingers into it. Blood dropped to the floor and froze instantly. Ice spread over the woman's skin like a disease. Gohan laid dropped her top the ground, only for her frozen body to be caught and laid down softly be the child.
"Why are you doing this?" the child pleaded.
Gohan smiled and pushed the boy into the opposite wall with his energy. Ice began to cover him until he was left completely frozen. The walls and floor were coated with ice and blue frost. Gohan backed up to the doorway and smiled evilly at the scene. Something in his head flashed. Suddenly he saw a figure appear. The figure walked past him and examined the two bodies. The figure punched the ground and turned to look at him. Gohan walked towards the figure as the figure walked towards him. He found himself staring at himself, or what he used to be.
"Who...are you?" The figure stuttered.
Gohan smiled menacingly.
"Um...yeah. You humans have a nasty habit of asking a question to which you were just given the answer." Karukono observed.
Goku looked at her confusedly.
