Gohan cracked his neck from side to side as Vegeta stood in front of him, powered to a Super Saiyan 2. Gohan glared at him intently, barely feeling the 600g force bearing down on him inside the gravity room.
"I don't have all day, or am I that pretty to stare at?" Vegeta asked, his tone oozing with his usual sarcasm.
Gohan released his ki and a golden aura swirled fiercely around him. Gohan then launched off and made the first strike. Vegeta easily dodged it and settled them into a back and forth flurry of lightening quick strikes.
"I was expecting a little more from the son of Kakarot," Vegeta laughed. Gohan snarled threw a punch at Vegeta. Vegeta dodged it, but ducked right into Gohan's knee. The strike knocked Vegeta back, but only for a second.
Gohan dodged Vegeta's first punch, his second, and caught his third. He then threw the hand to the side and planted his palm firmly against Vegeta's chest. If Vegeta had actually been trying Gohan never would've gotten the chance to pull this off, but Vegeta was taking the fight lightly so Gohan took to the opportunity. Gohan channeled his ki to his palm and let out a burst of energy.
A small explosion rang out against Vegeta and sent him tumbling over the gravity room floor. He quickly got to his feet, unfazed. "I guess I better start taking this seriously," Vegeta remarked.
Gohan channeled more ki to his hands, but stopped before the ki left his body. Goten's hands pulsed with a golden glow as he fell into a fighting stance. "We've only got two months left in here. That and I would've hoped you'd been taking it seriously the whole time," Gohan said.
Vegeta fell into a fighting stance as his golden aura began to grow into a whirlwind. "Don't lecture me, boy. I'll show you just how seriously your prince takes battle," Vegeta said as he launched forward at Gohan.
Gohan pushed off his back foot and prepared to meet Vegeta head on. Although the main portion of his mind was on the fight he began to wonder about his family down below. Everyone was acting crazy, but as soon as Vegeta and himself had come up to the Chamber, their minds had been cleared.
Gohan's eyes went wide as he disappeared and reappeared behind Vegeta, narrowly missing a devastating kick to the face. Vegeta whipped around, but Gohan signaled him to stop. "Vegeta, I think I know what's going on," Gohan said, trying to capture Vegeta's attention.
"What are you talking about?" Vegeta asked while settling his feet on the floor and crossing his arms.
"I think I know why everyone is going crazy down there," Gohan answered.
"Well get on with it then. There's no time to waste," Vegeta said, visibly impatient.
Gohan powered down; his hair falling back into its resting place and turning black. "When did everything begin to go down hill?"
Vegeta snarled, "I found Kakarot attacking my son in the front yard about two weeks ago."
Gohan nodded, "Well, who showed up the next day as everything got worse?"
Vegeta shook his head, "You're telling me that the new girl is behind all this? She's young… and a woman! How would she have the power to do all of this?"
"I don't know," Gohan said, now having second thoughts if it was really Laurel or not.
"We'll save this conversation for the dinner table. Now give me everything you've got… boy!" Vegeta roared as his aura threatened to warp the sides of the gravity room.
Gohan smiled at Vegeta's lust for battle. Once they were out of here and back below, they'd figure everything out. Gohan fell into his fighting stance and let the Super Saiyan power flow through his veins.

Videl sat at Chichi's side. Chichi was getting better since Vegeta had attacked her, but it was a slow progress. Goten probably should have left her in the rejuvenation tank. Goten… what a fucking idiot.
"Videl, where is Gohan?" Chichi asked.
Videl didn't really want to tell her that Gohan was training because a new alien threat was on its way, but it had to be done. "Gohan is with Vegeta in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber," Videl said with a smile to comfort Chichi.
Chichi immediately sat up, "What? Why does he always have to run off and train? Train, train, train! That's all it ever is with these people!"
Chichi continued to run her mouth and finally Videl started to feel angry with it. That's all this woman ever did was bitch. Videl finally couldn't take it anymore; she slapped Chichi. Chichi stopped and stared at Videl with such shock, such surprise, it looked like she was going to faint.
"Videl?" Chichi whispered and began to scoot backwards across the bed. Videl stood, not knowing why she had just done that. She knew she had slapped her, but she didn't even want to. It just came over here.
The door creaked and Videl shot a quick glance at it. Laurel was there, peeking around it. "Hey guys, I thought I heard a commotion."
Videl snarled, that nosey bitch, "Get out of here. Go fondle all over your precious Goten."
Laurel's eyes went wide and quickly became glassy. She turned and left the doorway quicker than she had come. Videl shook her head and sat back down on the bed. What had come over her? Why was she acting like this?
"Videl, are you okay?" Chichi asked, a hint of fear in her voice.
"I'm… I'm fine," Videl answered, not wanting to say more than she had to.

The robed figure glanced over at Frieza and smirked. Frieza returned the smirk and nodded. "Frieza, I trust your judgment. Your decades of tyranny have led you to my side. What's your call?"
Frieza stepped up to the large window. The robed figure peered at him already knowing the answer. Frieza finally turned towards the robed figure, "Do it."
The robed figure smiled and pulled back his hood. The purple of the top his head shown brightly against the overhead lights, the crimson red of his face oozed with enjoyment, and the black "M" that adorned his forehead lit up for a moments time.
Frieza glanced over at his master, "So, we haven't gotten this straightened out yet. Should I call you Bobidi or Janemba?"
He actually wanted to be called Janemba. Even though it was his mind that had been fused with Janemba's resurrected body. Still, Janemba couldn't resist. "Just call me… your god," Janemba said and smirked as he raised his hand up. A red glow surrounded his hand and then disappeared. This… would be quite a show.

Goten held Laurel and hugged her tightly. He never wanted to let her go, she meant everything to him. Goten remembered when he first met her; just shy of a week and a half ago. It hadn't taken very long, but he had grown to care for her more than anything.
Laurel looked up at him, "I don't know what's going on, Goten. Everyone's been going insane since I've been coming around."
Goten shook his head, "Everything's going to be fine." Goten bent down and kissed her forehead, but when he came forward he found something that brought back memories from his early childhood. It was the Majin "M" and it was slowly surfacing on Laurel's forehead.
Goten stumbled back, fear flooding through his veins. Laurel looked at Goten in shock, "You too?" Goten was about to speak when Laurel doubled over; it looked like she was about puke.
"Laurel, what's wrong?" Goten asked. He had no idea what was going on.
Laurel fell to her knees and began screaming in pain. Goten rushed to her side and knelt down beside her. "Goten, get out of here," Laurel said, gritting her teeth.
"I won't leave you," Goten said adamantly.
"Leave!" Laurel screamed and threw her hand out. Goten felt the impact of the punch and immediately left the living room via the air. He crashed through the front door and landed in the middle of the street.
Goten got to his feet and glared intently at the front door, a dark blue glow coming from inside. Suddenly, the house erupted in blue energy. Smoke and debris filled Goten's vision. "Mom! Videl!" Goten yelled, remembering that they were in the house. Goten fell to his knees; it had only taken a few seconds and everything was falling apart. His girlfriend was now Majin Laurel and two members of his family were dead. There's no way they could've survived that explosion, Goten thought.
The debris and smoke finally began to drift away and in the middle stood Laurel, a blue ki tornado swirling around her. Goten stared intently at her; her hair had become light blue and her eyes were a frosty color.
"By the order of my Master, Earth will not survive past today!" Laurel screamed, her eyes focused on Goten.
Goten could feel her power level soar past that of a Super Saiyan 3, but what was she? How did she have so much power? Goten got to his feet and fell into his fighting stance. He knew he wouldn't have a chance to talk to Laurel while she was being controlled, but how… Bobidi was destroyed.
"Please Laurel; I know you're still in there!" Goten yelled out, trying to reason with her. Goten knew he'd have to fight her alone. Trunks was gone, Vegeta and Gohan were wouldn't be here for another two hours, Goku was still defending New Namek, and the other Z fighters lived too far out to contact.
"What's wrong, baby? Didn't know I was like you?" Laurel laughed. She then took a step toward Goten, but was quickly joined by three aliens. Goten shook his head; it was the squad dad was talking about, Goten thought.
"Laurel, I won't fight you, but the other three won't leave here alive," Goten said, hoping they wouldn't catch his bluff. The three aliens were also extremely powerful. Goten could sense it too well.
Laurel laughed, "Goten baby, we think too much alike. They won't survive. Laurel then let out a yell and suddenly the aura around her expanded. It enveloped the three aliens and disintegrated them with ease.
Goten stumbled back, her power was amazing. "What are you?"
Laurel took another step forward, "I am Majin Laurel! I am a Super Jinteki!"
Goten shook his head, "Human's aren't that powerful. Those no such thing as a Super Human."
Laurel suddenly disappeared, but quickly reappeared face to face with Goten. "Oh we do exist. Welcome… to the new evolution," Laurel smirked and backhanded Goten in the jaw.
Goten didn't have time realize what had happened before he was soaring across the city at a fatal speed. Goten was suddenly stopped as he crashed head first into a mountain side. Goten, pain coursing throughout his body, managed to slip himself out of the indention he made and fall to the ground below. With one strike she had sent him to the countryside, unbelievable.
Laurel suddenly appeared in front of Goten and this time gave him a powerful punch to the nose. The force of the strike launched Goten through the base of the mountain and out the other side. Laurel then appeared beside Goten, mid-flight, and elbowed him in the chest. Goten spiraled to the ground and crashed harshly.
Black splotches began to fill Goten's vision; there was no way he could hold out long enough to stop Laurel. Goten glanced up and saw Laurel standing over him. "Please, don't let it be this way," Goten pleaded, his eyes becoming glassy.
Laurel kneeled down beside Goten and cupped his cheek. She then rested her head against his forehead and began to cry. "What everyone was feeling this whole time was fake and compliments of this Majin mind control. What I made you feel for me was fake, but what I feel for you… it's real. I'm… so… sorry," Laurel stood up and appeared as if she was going to puke again. But before she did, a smirk twisted her lips. She then pointed her hand at Goten's head, blue energy building up in her palm.
Goten, in too much pain to move, laid there and mustered up enough energy to say one more thing. "It's not fake…" Was he managed to get out.
Laurel looked away and Goten saw a tear slid down her cheek. He knew she didn't want to do it, but her body didn't give her the choice. Goten finally let his head drop back as a blinding blue light enveloped him and drove his soul into darkness.
