Chapter Eight
Screaming and chaos was detectable in the air in Satan City this afternoon.
A huge fire had broke out in the Orange Plaza when a cook left his oven mitt on the burner of his gas stove and it caught fire that sent the high quality hotel up like kindling.
Huge waves of flames spat out from the broken windows that had exploded from the heat. Hundreds of people had made it out of building but still many remained.
The fire fighters had their water trying to calm the roaring fire and they were doing their best but still the yellow Jet Chopper appeared to ease situation.
Videl Satan arrived as soon as heard about the disturbance in the city that she had been protecting since she was a young teenager.
Cautiously the co-pilot that was assisting young Miss Satan eased down where the people who were still in need of rescuing gathered. "Videl, I don't think this is such a good idea," the co-pilot, Hogan, stated uneasily.
"I have to help them," Videl explained frantically as she quickly glanced back and forth to his face and at the fiery doom she could be putting herself in.
Throwing caution to the wind Videl jumped out the Chopper and landed on the brittle rooftop.
After hearing Hogan's plea to come back Videl disregarded it and ignored her common sense that was right now agreeing with him. As the raven-haired girl looked forward she saw the group of people huddled together faces' that brighten when they saw her running to try to fix this predicament they had been put in.
"There are children, trapped downstairs, the firefighters can't reach them," one of the men panted his face layered in sweat. Videl nodded and dashed the exit and was greeted at the bottom by a huge wave of smoke that buried itself deep in her lungs.
A few random coughs ridded the thick gas from her throat as she ran down the hall to a room where she heard faint voices. Upon reaching the doorway see saw huddled together much like the others on the roof with quiet whimpers.
"It's okay," Videl began soothingly as she slowly walked into center of the room.
The three children's little faces peeked out from their cocoon positions for the raven-haired crime fighter to see that their faces were tear stained.
Fear engulfed them, as they knew that their fate was evident.
Sympathy flooded Videl's heart, she knew she had to help them. "Come on," she said firmly trying to sound confident in haven of distress.
The three children took her hand as she led them briskly through the corridors of the huge hotel. "Videl!" the crime fighter's head set voiced.
"What is it captain?" Videl asked using her free hand to push the device more into her ear to hear his words better
"The floor is going to give, you need to get out there now," explained the static words of the chief of police.
"I'm going as quickly as I can," Videl snapped as fear began to take its toll on her. Switching off the head set, Videl relied on her instincts now, still holding firmly to the children's hands.
She followed the path she took before as she saw the grayish sky that the smoke had discolored.
The children followed hastily trying to keep up with the teen that was much faster than they were.
The youngest, who was about five lost his grip and fell to the ground that gave out to the force his little body caused its weak structure.
His scream echoed as he fell, Videl whipped around diving to grab him but missed.
The two other's, who must have been his sister and brother, screams intertwined with his.
Videl felt her heart sink and pounded her fist on the floor that was a little sturdier, but as she lifted up her face she saw the boy being carried by none other that the Gold Fighter.
"It's you," she said in an almost inaudible whisper.
A smirk appeared on his face as he stood on the floor, pulling Videl up to face him.
"Come on, we need to get out of here," he explained sternly as he picked up two of the children while Videl held the last one.
The Gold Fighter led them as they reached the staircase.
Little explosions of flames reached them once in a while but the Gold Fighter protected all of them from its damage.
When they reached the base of the stair the Gold Fighter put the two children on the ledge, instructing them to run out there, then he took the one in Videl's hands and told him to do the same.
He got up there ready to help Videl up. He held his arm out for her to grab.
"Hurry," the Gold Fighter exclaimed as Videl hesitated, "Now!"
Videl took his hand but the floor gave out as before.
"Videl!" he screamed as he dove after her body falling at an uncontrolled pace.
Speeding up Gohan caught her firmly in his arms as he landed on the ground shielding her with his body from the falling wood and glass.
After he stopped feeling the falling remnants he sat up looking directly into Videl's beautiful blue eyes.
His Saiyan side again barked at him to make a move but he ignored it as he helped her up.
"Are you okay?" the Gold Fighter asked as he wiped the dirt that stained her face as he held her chin.
She nodded as she blushed on the inside for the feel of his hands.
"I don't know how I can thank you," Videl explained as he flew her back up to rooftop.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find a way," the Gold Fighter said slyly.
They then helped all those people to get down safely. "Thanks mister," the youngest of three children they saved said with a toothy smile.
"No problem kid," he said as he nudged his chin with his fist in a playful manner, "I have two brothers your age at home, but you're pretty brave, I don't think I could be as courageous as you when I was your age."
Videl smiled at his relationship with children.
After the three left with their eternally grateful parents the two went off.
"So," the Gold Fighter began, "I see you started to fight crime again. How's your foot?"
"Fine, it's perfectly healed now," Videl explained.
"Well I've been filling in for you, patrolling the city and what not," he stated.
They laughed slightly and then silence filled the air.
"So I should get going," the Gold Fighter explained as he got up, but felt and arm hold him back.
"Wait," Videl's soft voice began, "What's your name?"
"I can't tell you," he said sadly, "I need to keep my identity a secret."
"Why?" she countered back, "I mean you help people, you saved my life and many others, why not let people recognize you for it."
The Gold Fighter shrugged his shoulders, "I guess that never really mattered to me, getting recognition," he paused after receiving a confused look, "Bye Videl."
He flew off leaving Miss Videl alone to ponder her thoughts that filled her mind about the mysterious Gold Fighter.
The next morning Videl walked briskly down the crowded hallways of Orange Star High.
She hated crowds, they annoyed her, having to wait for the people who were too slow to move and just congested the already narrow passage for the students.
She was still a bit shaken up about the whole fire thing but she hoped a day of normalcy would change it.
"Hey," Gohan said as he leaned again the locker next to hers.
"Hi," Videl replied before being silenced by a strong pair of lips against hers.
After a squeal of surprise Videl ended the kiss.
"Gohan remember I think we're going too fast," Videl said slowly trying her hardest not to look him in the eyes, "I mean we aren't even dating yet."
"Well we should change that," Gohan said softly holding her hands in his own.
"Are you asking me out?" Videl inquired, not catching the hint the Demi-Saiyan gave her.
"Yeah," Gohan chuckled, "So what do you say?"
"Um," Videl paused, she wouldn't have hesitated yesterday, it just was the Gold Fighter was definitely holding tightly to her thoughts, she had been thinking about him a lot lately.
She wanted to know so much about the gold haired hero because he was so much of a mystery to her.
The half-breed teen frowned at Videl's hesitation.
"Okay, I guess I have my answer," Gohan stated sadly as he walked off.
"Gohan," Videl said quickly running after him, "Yes."
"Really?" Gohan asked.
Videl responded by grabbing Gohan by the back of the head and pulling him in for a deep passionate kiss.
They parted after grabbing a majority of the school population's attention.
"Great," Gohan said beaming as he walked off, "Call me tonight!"
Videl nodded in agreement as she walked to her first class it was with a bit of a bounce in her step.
When Gohan got home that afternoon Bulma saw the silly grin on his face.
"Well I guess someone had a good day," Bulma chuckled trying to poke at why he was so happy.
"Yep," Gohan said plainly, his face still inhabited by the smile.
"Care to share?" Bulma asked. "
I'd love to but I need to go train with Vegeta," Gohan said quickly trying to find a way out of the uncomfortable topic for him.
"Vegeta took Goten and Trunks out to the Park, he won't be back for an hour," Bulma explained with a grin that said she was pleased with the way she trapped him.
"Well I have a ton of homework," Gohan lied as he walked off.
After he dropped his stuff off in his room as he ran down the huge hallway leading deeper and deeper into the center of the house the Demi-Saiyan stopped and proceeded to the Gravity room to get in his overdue training for the tournament.
Already Vegeta, Goten and Trunks had agreed to participate and Gohan knew the Vegeta was training close to twenty hours a day, so he needed get to work.
After setting the Gravity to 6000 Gohan lifted his red and blue baseball T-shirt off and went over to the pull up bar that he wanted to start training with.
A few hours later Gohan still was in the Gravity room, Vegeta had been tired out from the demon duo's reign of terror at the park and was resting in his room.
A thin layer of sweat covered his entire body as his strenuous training continued. He had raised the gravity up to about 10,000, as he was a Super Saiyan 2.
The little robot pods around him were shooting highly condensed Ki blasts that were about as powerful as Kamehameha Wave.
He was dodging and countering each blast successfully, occasionally getting hit with one.
Over all the noise Gohan's Saiyan hearing heard a ringing of his cell phone.
Gohan froze, he knew exactly who was on the other end, Videl.
After pausing like that Gohan felt a sting of pain run through his body, he just gotten hit with five of the blast.
"Crap!" Gohan muttered under his breath as he rushed to turn of the machine and answer his loud phone.
Moving as quickly as he could Gohan ran actually flew down the hallway but as he reached the doorway to his room he heard fatal words that made him stop dead in his tracks.
"Hi this is Capsule Corp. Bulma Briefs speaking."
