Note: I am so sorry about the time between updates, but it's something I can't control. The computer still has a mind of its own - literally. We can't even shut it down properly! I'll try to update whenever it is cooperating with me.
"Triple Threat"
Chapter 14: "Confrontation"
Videl looked at saw Gohan. "Go... Gohan?"
He nodded and smiled. "Who else would it be?"
Videl's eyes became watery but then she frowned. "Gohan... You lied to me!"
-flashback-
Videl watched in horror as the attack hit him. "Videl...get out of here... before it gets worse..."
"No, Gohan! I can't! I can't lea-"
"Here." Gohan said as he laid his last Senzu bean in her hand and pushed her forward. "Don't worry about me! Get out and tell the others where I am. Eat the Senzu bean. And Videl... if anything happens to me... know that you've always been a good friend to me."
"Enough with the chatter!" Black Rain(Radditz) yelled. "You two need to separate! I have a score to settle with your dear Gohan."
"So do I."
"And me too."
"Go, Videl! Run away! Tell the others!"
And with that, she ran toward the light.
-end of flashback-
"You said not to worry about you! And you gave me your Senzu bean knowing it was your last!"
Gohan laughed nervously. "Uh... sorry?"
Videl's anger turned to tears. "Oh, Gohan. I'm sorry. I just missed you."
"Yes, I'm so glad you're back, Gohan." a voice said sarcastically. It shot an energy blast at him, but he just hit it away.
"I know it's you, Cell! Come out and face me!"
Cell laughed. "You're brave against one of us, but not together. You're lucky Frieza is off planning his own scheme."
Suddenly, Vegeta came shooting from the sky, battered and torn. "Cell... why'd you run away?"
"Don't kid yourself, Vegeta. You were losing. I left you there to die, but it seems it didn't work out."
"Fool! I was just resting!"
"Right..." Cell blasted Vegeta with a Kamehameha.
Vegeta yelled as he fell to the ground. Bulma and Trunks ran to him.
"Vegeta!"
"Dad!"
Trunks stood up. "Dad... I'll beat him for you."
In a blink of an eye, Gohan appeared in front of him. "No, Trunks. Cell wants a rematch with me, so that's what I'll give him!" He flew up in front of Cell. "You ready? Let's go."
Gohan quickly powered up to a Super Saiyan and caught Cell's punch. He smiled.
Videl watched him with amazement. "I've never seen him use that speed before! And that strength! Could he have done that when I didn't know he was Saiyaman?"
"He could always do that. At least since he was four years old." It was Bulma.
Videl turned. "Huh?"
Bulma nodded. "He was born that way. Now come on inside. It'll be safer and Gohan can fight at his best." Bulma led her into Capsule Corp. The others were already inside.
"But what about Gohan? We're just going to leave him there! He just got back! I barely got any time with hi-"
"Be quiet, girl." Vegeta said harshly as he slowly walked into the building. "That boy is more powerful than any of us here. He's the only chance there is at defeating Cell."
The others stared at him. That wasn't like Vegeta. They then just watched Gohan fight.
Gohan dogded Cell's energy blasts. "Let's finish this!" He shouted as he powered up to Super Saiyan 2. "I will defeat you!"
Cell laughed. "You're as weak as you were the first time. Haven't been training?"
"I've had other things to do. I moved on with my life, Cell. I went to school and go an education. And still, I'm going to defeat you once again. Ka... Me... Ha... Me..."
Cell quickly advanced toward him and knocked Gohan to the ground, stopping him from forming the blast.
"Gohan!" Videl called.
Cell was charging at him at an extraordinary speed, and Gohan wasn't even attempting to move.
Short chapter I know... The next one is a little longer! I'll try my best to update soon!
