Videl sat on a plain white window ceil, looking out into the sky. Pain and worry consumed her face. Her fists were tensed with eagerness.

"Something's wrong…oh Gohan what's happening to you..." Videl whispered while placing her hand on the window.

Videl's thoughts were interrupted when a short woman barged in without knocking. Videl recognized the woman as the same woman who shoved Gohan and Karukono away.

"What are you doing just sitting around?! You'd better get to work young woman!" She shouted at Videl.

Maybe Videl was tired, or stressed out, but for some reason her temper clicked. She stood from the window ceil and stared down at the woman.

"Excuse me if I'm mistaken…but I believe we are paying YOU to do the work around here." Videl snapped.

The woman had a look of shock about her.

"How dare you speak to me like that?! You are nothing but a little girl and I am being paid to turn you into a proper woman!"

"What? You want me to be some kind of house wife or something?" Videl rolled her eyes.

"Precisely. There's nothing else you could do to make a living. You just have to find your self a nice man, not like that filthily boy that brought you home."

Videl's eyes narrowed her hands in fists and quivering from anger.

"What did you just say?"

"I don't think Mr. Satan should allow you to see such a boy as that. There's not an ounce of fat on the boy! Bringing you home dirty and with torn clothing, that boy is no good. It's such a shame that boy from you school is no longer around, what was his name? Sharpner or something…"

Videl's anger rose but something snapped in her mind and for the moment the anger was gone.

"What do you mean Sharpner is no longer around? What are you talking about?"

"Well I should think you would know! It's not everyday a mysterious madman blows up the school."

Videl gasped.

"Bl…blew up the school…What?"

"Surely you heard. You should have been there as well...Everyone from your high school was killed."

After a moment of being paralyzed with fear Videl ran to the window and jumped out. She flew into the air not knowing where she was going. All she knew was she had to fly…just fly. Somehow without thinking, Videl wound up at Orange Star High…or what was left of it. She landed near the entrance and looked around in pure horror. All of the people she knew…her friends…all gone…dead…Then a thought ran through her mind that made her gag.

"Gohan…Gohan…you did this didn't you…"

Scene change

Still standing next to Piccolo's body Gohan brought out all his strength facing some one he could hardly see. Gohan could feel the power emanating from the being and desperately tired to release the deeper of his powers, but nothing more came. Power seemed to flow endlessly from his adversary giving him a great advantage over Gohan. Gohan tensed up with anger and lunged at his opponent blindly. He held out his arm for a punch and just as it seemed he was about to reach his target he felt his head smash into the ground. It snapped up and hit the ground again causing Gohan to gasp. His vision was blurry for a moment and he couldn't even figure out what had happened. It had happened so fast…He tried to get back up to his feet but as soon as he leaned up he was sent back down. This time he felt something around his neck, squeezing. Gohan tried to draw in a breath but no air came. When his vision cleared his eyes widened when he saw the face of his opponent…Himself, only with red eyes and something much more evil about him.

Gohan grabbed the arm that held his throat and frantically tried to pull it off him. The red eyed Gohan smiled and thrust more power into his arm, breaking the rock with Gohan's neck. With his last little breath escaping him, Gohan squirmed for air. He heard his own neck pop as it grinded into the ground. After his many futile attempts to free himself, Gohan raised his hand into the air and faced it at the red eyed Gohan. Using the little strength he could muster from his suffocating body Gohan sent a blast right into the red eyed Gohan's face. The blast hardly left a scratch, but it did cause him to release his grip from Gohan's throat and stumble backwards. Gohan nurtured his throat coughing as he taught himself to breath. Every breath hurt and his voice was noting but a rasp. The red eyed Gohan was quick to recover and sent a kick into Gohan's side. Gohan rolled over clenching his stomach.

Gohan had been in some fierce battles and had become somewhat accustomed to brutal pain, but this was too much. Something about the pain was different, it was like thousands of needles were stabbing him and breaking off or like someone was just sitting there squeezing his very life from his bones. The aches could be felt throughout his body and he struggled just to move. The red eyed Gohan made his way over to the twitching body on the ground. He squatted down beside him.

"You were a fool to challenge me I'm glad I broke free from you when I had the chance. You are nothing but a weakling without your beloved hidden powers. I could drain your life away in an instant, and yet why haven't I? Let's just say your part in this isn't quite over yet."

Gohan looked up at the evil force in front of him. His breaths were short and tense and his body shook just trying to lift his head. After a few seconds of attempting to move Gohan dropped back to the ground unconscious.

Scene change

As Videl continued to search through the rubble that was once her school something tugged at the back of her mind. Something had happened and something was telling her she had to go. Without considering what she was doing, Videl had once again taken flight. She found herself flying over an area she had never seen and began to wonder how she knew exactly where to go. She looked below her to see several figures. One of them had a weird energy around them; Videl recognized this figure as Gohan. But then she saw another figure that she also recognized as Gohan.

"What the…" Videl trailed off.

As she got closer to the figures, the Gohan with the weird aura looked up at her. Videl froze in mid air. She blinked and jolted back when Gohan appeared but a foot from her. She saw his red blaring eyes and gave a little gasp. Gohan moved closer to her, grabbing her arm as she tried to back away.

"How nice of you to join us my dear, Videl."

"What's going on? Your not…" Videl managed to stammer.

Gohan frowned.

"Well how rude. I am indeed the real Gohan. Only, I've gotten rid of my weaker half."

"No…" Videl looked down at the Gohan who lied on the ground.

She looked back at the red eyed Gohan and then back down below. She darted down to the earth and ran towards Gohan. She collapsed to her knees and placed her hand on Gohan's shoulder. At first Gohan jolted from her touch but he moved his head a little and relaxed as he saw Videl's face.

"Oh Gohan…please hold on…I'll get you help I swear it." Videl whispered.

Gohan looked up at her, a look of sadness in his eyes. His look paralyzed her and broke her heart. She could feel the pain he was in and could do nothing but lower her head and be silent.
