Yes, I have all the chapters written. I update when I don't have alot of work to do because I do still have to type them before I post them.
As for where Cell and Frieza is, you'll find out in this chapter.
Another thing: I'm tired of the reviews stating how "sick" Yamcha is. I understand that everyone has the right to their own opinion, but I get the idea! Yamcha and Videl's date is over with! This is a fanfic, where the author/authoress can manipulate the characters as they please. As you can see in this chapter, the Gohan/Videl relationship is starting to show more. I'm now done with my rant.
On with chapter 9!
"Triple Threat"
Chapter 9: "The Dead Truth"
Motionless. That's what Gohan's body was.
"Gohan! On, no... No, Gohan!" Videl immediately started crying as she ran to him and starting shaking him.
The tears came from Videl's face and dropped onto Gohan's hand.
"Gohan, you can't be dead... W-we never even got a chance to talk. You never got a chance to hear my true feelings. Gohan... you're more than just a friend to me. I may not know your past, but still... I-I love you. You can't leave me, Gohan, you can't... you can't..."
She laid her head on his arm.
The senzu bean Videl had rolled onto the sewer floor.
"The... senzu bean..."
flashback-
"It's a senzu bean." Yamcha told her. "If you eat it, your strength and energy will be restored."
end of flashback-
Videl picked it up and held it close to Gohan's mouth. "Eat it, Gohan. Come on... eat it."
"Not today."
That was Cell's voice.
Frieza appeared beside him and shot an energy blast at the girl.
Videl was slammed into the wall. She dropped the senzu bean and it fell to the floor. Videl tried to hold onto it, but it slipped out of her fingers.
"No!" She yelled when she saw Cell snatch Gohan from the floor.
"Don't worry, dear. He's still alive... barely."
Videl growled. "We need my father..."
"Your father?"
"You... don't remember him? He's the one who defeated you seven years ago."
"Hm?" Cell looked at Gohan in his hand. "You are mistaken, girl."
Frieza frowned. "Now, with Gohan out, his friends should be easy to take out. But if Goku has been keeping up with his training, he will be tough to beat."
"We don't have to worry about him. He killed himself just to defeat me. I, fortunately, survived and that's when Gohan attacked and destroyed me."
a few minutes later-
After they had left, Videl was alone in the sewer. "What... just happened?" Her voice echoed from the sewer walls. The image of her dropping the senzu bean flashed in her mind. "Oh, no! The senzu bean!"
She frantically searched for the senzu bean, feeling around with her hands and searching with her eyes. "I can't find it anywhere... But I need to go warn Gohan's friends. Cell is too powerful for them, atleast according to my father. But Cell said Gohan greeted him... Does that mean Gohan fought in the Cell Games? I'll win your heart, Gohan, and find out your secrets..."
And so she continued toward the sewer entrance for the second time that night.
It was now morning. Six in the morning to be exact. Chichi hadn't slept a wink worried about Gohan and Videl. Videl still hadn't arrive because the scene in the sewers took hours.
"Something's wrong." Chichi said. "Gohan would have been back by now and Videl took a senzu bean to him! Where could my baby be?"
"Right here." said a voice in the air.
"W-Who said that?" Chichi growled.
Everyone except Vegeta were shaking thier heads and pointing.
Vegeta was shocked, "How is that possible?"
"Uh... Chichi?" Krillin pointed a shaking finger, "I don't think you need to yell at him..."
"Why not?" Chichi asked as she turned around to look at the speaker's identity, "What? Cell! B-But I thought Gohan killed you!" She looked at Gohan, who was in Cell's arms, "What did you do to him you fiend!"
Cell laughed. "We came back to life."
"We?" Vegeta said through gritted teeth as he attacked Cell.
But someone held him back and said, "My, my Vegeta. Why be so hasty?"
Krillin studdered. "V-Vegeta, that's F-Frieza!"
"What! Frieza!" Vegeta growled. "How'd you get back?"
Cell threw Gohan on the ground. "Yes... Radditz was here also, but Gohan defeated him. But he obviously couldn't handle two enemies at one time."
Chichi ran up to the unconscious Gohan. "Gohan, wake up!"
"We'll be back." Cell said as he and Frieza disappeared. Vegeta said angrily, "How'd they get back to life? I'd love to have a go at them."
"Vegeta, we'll worry about them later. Now we need to get Gohan better." Bulma said, focused on helping the fallen warrior. "Anyone have any senzu beans?"
Krillin nodded and held his hand out, "Here, Bulma."
Bulma quickly put the small bean in Gohan's mouth.
at Videl-
Videl was getting closer to Gohan's house. "Come on, Videl. Get a hold of yourself. Gohan isn't dead. Cell said so himself. But... I can't help but worry about him..." She continued her journey.
30 minutes later-
Videl had arrived. As soon as she saw Bulma, she shouted. "Bulma! Cell! He's back! And he took Goh-"
She stopped when she saw Gohan. "Gohan!" She shook him but he wouldn't move. "Gohan!" She looked up. "Why... Why isn't he moving? If he had a senzu bean, that would help... wouldn't it?"
They stayed silent. Something was wrong. Very wrong.
Videl asked them again. "What's wrong? Why... isn't... he waking up?"
Tears started to well up in her eyes. "Why aren't you answering me?"
She looked up into their sad faces, her own tear-dried one waiting for an answer.
Finally, Bulma said. "I'm sorry, Videl."
"Sorry for what!"
Yamcha hung his head. "Cell stopped by and dropped him off. We tried to give him a senzu bean. Dende even tried to heal him, but..."
"But what!" Videl demanded.
Bulma walked up to her and looked at the fallen Gohan. "Gohan, why did you do it?" then looked at Videl with soft eyes.
"Videl... Gohan's dead."
Who saw that coming?
Silence.
OK, I admit that was a bit predictable, but it adds to the plot. Since my big projects are now over and done with,(Yay!) I can update alot more frequently!
