"Triple Threat"
Chapter 10: " Having A Blast"

Videl stopped and stumbled back as she heard those terrible words, "W-What did you say? No, it can't be true... I-It can't... I won't believe it! Gohan can't be dead! He just can't..."

"Videl..."

"No, Bulma! That monster... Cell needs to be destroyed again. We need my father."

The others sweatdropped. "...Right."

"What's wrong now? My father defeated Cell before."

"No, Videl, he didn't." Bulma said, "Go-"

She was cut off when an energy blast was thrown at her.

After Vegeta hit the blast away from her, Bulma smiled, "Thanks, Vegeta."

Vegeta ignored her, "Cell! Come out and fight!"

"Patience." Cell said as he flew down and landed, "The girl shouldn't know the truth yet. And with Gohan out of the way, you all should be easy to destroy. Ka...Me... Ha... Me..."

Videl flew up in front of Cell, "You lied to me! You said Gohan wasn't dead! I'll destroy you!"

"Videl, get out of the way!" But Yamcha's warning was blocked out by the sound of the Kamehameha Wave.

"...Ha!"

"What? Ah!" Videl yelled as the wave of energy was shot at her and she tried to dogde it.

"Videl!" Yamcha ran to her, "Videl... come on, wake up!"

Videl stirred and got up, "Ouch. Hey, Yamcha... What was that?"

"Here." Yamcha gave her a senzu bean.

Videl didn't hesitate to eat it. After she swallowed, Yamcha said, "That was a Kamehameha Wave, the attack that destroyed Cell seven years ago."

"My father knew that attack?"

"Videl, hate to break it to you, but your father wasn't the one who defeated Cell. I don't want to make anyone mad at me, so I won't say anything else. You'll have to ask Gohan about his past."

"But he's dead! I won't be able to... tell him... anything..."

Vegeta dogded Cell's energy blasts, "Is this the best you've got? I thought you would have gotten better in seven years."

Cell charged at him and Vegeta flew over and kicked him in the trees. Cell flew back up and raised his power level. Now Vegeta was in trouble. He was already in his Super Saiyan 2 form, so he couldn't power up any higher.

Even though Vegeta was at a disadvantage, he wouldn't give up. He looked down at the others, "Get in the house while I fight him. It might get dangerous."

Before Bulma went inside, she glanced at Vegeta. He was taking the energy blasts' hit, allowing them to get inside safely.

Videl was the last one to head for the house, and Yamcha called to her to hurry up.

But Videl didn't hear him because she saw Gohan, "No, Gohan!" and dived outside in the grass. She could hear Yamcha and Bulma yelling to her, "Videl, come back here! It's too dangerous!" but she ingnored it. She had to protect Gohan's body.

After taking a huge barrage of hits, Vegeta finally gave in. He couldn't take the pressure anymore. He fell out of his Super Saiyan 2 form and onto the worn grass.

The remaining energy blasts hit the ground, shaking everything on it.

"Videl!" Yamcha yelled from the door. One last energy blast was soaring through the air.

And heading straight for Videl and Gohan.

"No!" Videl cried as she saw it. The others were holding their breaths, watching with fear in their eyes.

There's only one thing I can do. I can't let Gohan's body be destroyed. I just hope I survive. With that thought, Videl jumped on top of Gohan's body, just as the energy blast advanced toward her.

Don't flame me or throw food at me! I know it's short. I realized that as I typed it. I didn't know it was this short beforehand. I apologize! Oh, and to answer a question:As I was writing the chapters,I forgot to include him in the later ones(he is in future chapters, just not in some)...Sorry! It's easy to forget since there is so many characters.
