CW( ): I realize that Gohan wouldn't do that, but…..he really doesn't want people to know. I was just pointing out that he was being his usual obedient self. Besides, and I quote "Gohan wanted to just get up and leave, but the teachers had already made it evident that no student was to leave the gym until Hercule is done speaking, no matter what." See…he WANTED to leave, but he would have faced the teachers getting on his case. He already has them mad because of his constant trips to "the bathroom", or at least I think so. I hope that explains it.

27flux: That's a great name. Thanks! I really needed it. Mortrat

((Blah))Author's notes

Last time: With Videl:

She was still gagged and sitting in the janitor's closet. Neftal was on guard still, and Videl was scared that no one would come to save her. She sat in this state, until a third person appeared. It was Saiyaman.

Chapter 5: Rescuing Videl

Gohan immediately launched an attack on Neftal, who was a lot stronger than he looked. Neftal, upon being attacked, managed to dodge and open the door of the closet so that the two warriors would be able to fight in a bigger space. He also drew his sword and started fighting Saiyaman with it. Videl, during all this, was scared, but she didn't feel as though she was in danger. That is, until the alarm started.

Neftal, while fighting, heard the alarm go off on his belt. He read the message that was sent, and it read 'kill the hostage the next chance you get. Had Neftal been anyone else, he might have killed Videl immediately upon reading that, but because he had half a brain, he decided to wait until Saiyaman was dead or incapable of fighting before he would kill her.

At that point, Gohan launched yet another set of attacks, this time with enough force to take down Hercule. However, Gohan had to be careful not to damage the school, so that's why he did such a weak attack. Unfortunately for Gohan, Neftal was much stronger than he had hoped, and the attack failed. It was then that he remembered the words of "the boss"(name will appear soon!).

Flashback:

"I have a piece of information that will devastate you, 'Saiyaman'. Or should I call you by your real name?"

"You wouldn't dare."

"But, yes I would. I will tell the world about you're little secret."

"Do you even know who I am?" asked Gohan, just to see what his response would be.

"Truthfully, no, but I have a friend that can know who you are. He has x-ray vision. I would call him in, but he is guarding my prisoner."

"What prisoner?" asked Gohan, who was afraid to find out.

"Why, I have the one and only Videl Satan."

End Flashback

'So, the guard has x-ray vision? This is going to be harder than I thought. Man, since when did keeping a secret become so hard? Now that I think of it, I wonder what the teachers think of that I just disappeared? Oh well, I shouldn't be thinking of that. I should just concentrate on fighting….' At that point, Neftal had successfully landed an attack in his stomach, causing him to double over in pain.

"Just give up, you fool", said Neftal, "there is no possible way that you can beat me. Remember, I have something against you. I know your secret, and I am not afraid to tell the world. They have a right to know just who their hero is. Take off that mask before I take it off for you!"

Now, you may be wondering where all the other students went. Well, they went back to class for another period, which was shortened because of Hercule's speech taking up so much time. However (don't I love that word?), class had just let out for the day. Almost all of the students crowded the halls, and the hallway, which Gohan was fighting in, was one of the major locker halls. Hence, the fight was seen by many of the students. Even Erasa and Sharpener got to see the action. Nevertheless, they were too afraid to fight Neftal.

When all the students started to crowd the hallway, Gohan started to feel uneasy. He had a feeling in the pit of his stomach that this wouldn't go well. Of course, he had to just keep going and try not to lose the helmet or let the innocent bystanders get involved. How right he was…

First of all, the crowd became filled with teachers, who attempted to break up the fight. Then, to make matters worse, Neftal fought the teachers back, so they were unconscious. After that, several students started to turn on Neftal, who in turn knocked them unconscious as well.

Then, to make things even worse, upon hearing the commotion, the rest of the group, Dodrian and Luciar, came running. Actually, Luciar, being like the Grim Reaper, levitated above the ground, and Dodrian, being the "evil henchman that will immediately obey everything that the master commands", walked in with his shoulders hunched over in a permanent way (use your imagination!) and stumbled as he walked.

Gohan saw the two come, and he immediately attacked them. Apparently, they were extremely weak compared to Neftal. After thirty seconds of fighting the two, they were disintegrated. Completely giving up on not damaging the school, Gohan used almost the level needed for Super Saiyan on Neftal. Sure enough, Neftal was dead within seconds, and the only thing to show for it was a few large dents in the wall.

In the gym, while all the above was happening:

The boss was so mad that Saiyaman just left like that. He quickly sent a message to his loyal Neftal to kill Videl Satan. However, the fighting was still going on at full blast, he could feel it. After he sensed a large gathering of people, and still no deaths, he sent his only two henchman as well: Dodrian, the cyborg; and Luciar, the mutated human.

After a few minutes of them leaving, however, they died, as well as Neftal. So, in order to leave knowing that Saiyaman has been hurt, he, the boss, left to gym where he was being bugged by Hercule and the reporters, and went to the place where the fighting was going on.

With Gohan:

He took the gag off of Videl and untied the ropes that were around her wrists. She immediately thanked him for it, and he said that it was no problem. He was just about to try and dispel the crowd when he felt to leader come into the area. He had hoped that the reporters had kept an eye on him, but apparently they would rather report on bad things than help when bad things are going on. Videl looked up at him, noticing that he wasn't paying attention to anything.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"The leader is coming", he said to her. To everyone else, he said, "Everybody leave. It is very dangerous!" No one thought otherwise. A minute later, the boss was there.

"Who are you?" the boss asked, "How did you manage to beat all of my bodyguards?"

"I've been training all of my life, that's how", Gohan said, trying as hard as he could to keep his voice as nonchalant as possible.

"Somehow, I highly doubt that training all your life is responsible for your powers. I highly believe that there is something more to it than just that."

"Even if there was more to it, I wouldn't tell you in a million years."

"Well, aren't you a smart one. Your confidence will be your demise. Oh, but who am I to give my opinion when you don't even know who I am? My name is Mortrat, the mastermind behind this mission, as well as a mutation genius. The four that you fought were all creations of mine—all of which were originally human, but I added certain…modifications. Gorsa and Dodrian were turned into cyborgs, and Luciar and Neftal were…more organic. Of course, they were all given the same treatment, just different materials. But enough of that, I want to know how you are so powerful."

"I'm still not telling you."

"Then at least tell me your name."

"No."

"Beware for your own safety then. Just remember this, I have friends in high places", and with that, he walked away.

"Oh no you don't!" screamed Videl, attacking Mortrat. She was able to bring him to the ground, held him there, and she pulled out her communicator to call the police and have the man arrested. 'Why didn't I call the police in the first place? I should have been able to at least set off my distress signal…. I am so slow' ((I was thinking about that, and wondering why I didn't do anything earlier. Sorry if that confuses anyone. It isn't important to the story))

Taking the chance to get away, Gohan quickly said good-bye and left Videl to hold down Mortrat, so he wouldn't get away. Videl looked as though she was going to kill Saiyaman for escaping before she could find out his identity, but she couldn't leave Mortrat there, so she had to stay and watch him.

With Gohan:

He flew as fast as he could away from the school, and when he was in the mountains where he lived, he pushed the button on his Saiyawatch and flew the rest of the way as a Super saiyan—to get home quickly enough so that his mom wouldn't wonder what took him so long. When he came within view of the house, however, he slowed down to make the alibi that he had made up more believable.

As he walked into the house, he ran into his mom, who was apparently wondering why he was a whole half an hour late. It was then that he told the alibi: He had left school at the regular time, but he decided to fly slowly home and take in the beautiful view.

Surprisingly enough, ChiChi believed him and let him go outside and play with Goten until it was time for dinner. He was glad to get the day over with, and after dinner and a shower, he crawled right into bed.

With Videl:

The police had come to take Mortrat to the Police Station. The media was all over Videl and Saiyaman, and Hercule used the publicity to prove once and for all that Videl was in need of a sidekick that would help her out in situations like the one that had just happened.

She was very glad to crawl into her bed that night, but she didn't fall asleep until a few thoughts crossed her mind, 'I don't need a sidekick! Why does everyone think that I am just about to break at any moment! I swear! My dad is just going to use this new problem to prove to everybody that I am some weakling! I should call somebody, but I don't want to bug anybody. Hopefully, tomorrow all of this will be sorted out. Yeah, like that's gonna happen…. Dad's already explained his ideas to the public, and my "weakness" has also been shown.'

End Chapter

So, how do you like that? Well, that's all with Mortrat, for the time being. Also, if you haven't already noticed, go back and read Gohan's dream in the second chapter. The meaning is starting to show itself. The feeling behind it is there, now I just need to add what happens to get her to say that. I might even add another dream in there somehow, but I would need to think about it for a while.

Now, it is time for a question:

How long should I make chapters? (Please answer this. I really need to know)

Approximately 1600-2,000 (as long as I have been doing)

Approximately 2000-3000

Approximately 3000-5000

5000+

Just remember, the longer the chapter, the longer it will take to update! PLEASE R&R!
