Chapter 19: 9 Days
"Hey Krillin go back to the cartoons, Trunks and I like that show!" Reilena said as she got up from the pillow she was sitting on.
"Yeah besides it's not like anything else is on." Trunks said to him rolling his eyes.
"Hey if I am going to be stuck here for the next few days watching the TV for Cell's announcement I refuse to watch mindless cartoons for hours strait!" Krillin said to them.
"Well you won't be it's only on for an hour!" Reilena said sticking out her tongue.
"Hey how about we put something neutral on…like the news?" Yamcha said to them.
"Good idea no one can disagree with that." Future Trunks said as he grabbed the remote from Krillin and changed the channel.
"We disagree!" Trunks and Reilena said at the same time.
"Well too bad, three against two we win!" Krillin said triumphantly.
Trunks and Reilena sighed as they sat back in their seats to watch the news reports.
"Hey are you sure that Cell said to watch the TV to see where the games were taking place because I don't know how much longer I can just sit here without doing nothing." Yamcha said to them as he got up.
"Yeah bro that's what he said I heard it with my own two ears." Krillin said to him.
"Well listen you guys can give me a call when he shows up on the TV…I have some training to do…I can't just sit here and act like everything is fine." Yamcha said to them.
"Hey hold on I'll go with you too!" Krillin said running towards him.
"Yamcha are you sure you want to fight him?" Puar said floating up to him.
"Yeah, I have to I have to do my part I refuse to sit this one out, if Cell is going to kill me I'd rather do it fighting." Yamcha said to Puar.
"Fine go out and play if you want but leave Cell to me because I don't want anyone to get in my way…do you understand?!?" Vegeta said to them as they walked past him.
"You know that's a lot of talk from someone who got their butt kicked by Cell don't you think?" Yamcha said cockily.
"What no he tricked me…he can not defeat me I am stronger than him! I alone have the power to defeat Cell." Vegeta insisted.
"Oh and what about Goku…and Gohan?" Yamcha said to him.
"Yeah my dad and brother might be able to defeat him!" Reilena chimed in.
"Rei don't make my dad angry…besides we don't know how strong your dad and brother got from their training yet…" Trunks whispered to her.
"So, I am sure they got strong, even stronger than you from the future and your dad!" Reilena said getting angry.
"Yeah sure if you say so…" Trunks said rolling his eyes.
"Hey take that back or I'm going to sock you so hard…" Reilena said getting up now.
"Oh yeah I'd like to see you try!" Trunks said as they both got ready to attack each other.
"Hey, hey, hey you two stop this right now this is absurd!" Chichi yelled as she got between them and grabbed them both by the ear.
"Ouch mom that hurts let go, come on let go!" Reilena said to her.
"Yeah Miss Chichi please ouch!" Trunks said squirming.
"You two apologize right now or Reilena you are grounded for two months on top of the punishment you are going to get for everything else you did and Trunks I will not hesitate to call your mother up right now and tell her how you are acting!" Chichi scolded.
"Oh no way mom you wouldn't do that!" Reilena said upset.
"Yeah you can't call my mom you can't tell her I will get in so much trouble!" Trunks pleaded.
"Ok fine then…apologize….NOW!" Chichi yelled.
Trunks and Reilena both sighed in defeat "Sorry…" they said at the same time.
"That's more like it!" Chichi said happily.
The others just looked on in awe at what had just occurred.
"Grrr you know this little gang is the cause for the way they are acting so I don't know why you are so surprised!" Chichi yelled as she stormed off to the kitchen to do dishes.
Man Rei wasn't kidding…note to self never piss Chichi off…EVER Future Trunks thought to himself.
"Anyways Kakarotto…he doesn't have a chance." Vegeta said with a slight laugh.
"Father if we are going to win we can't think like that we are going to have to work together on this one...Goku and Gohan are both an important part of our team!" Future Trunks said to him.
All of a sudden Bulma came storming into the room "Trunks….Trunks where are you come out right now!"
Trunks and Future Trunks both looked at each other and sighed.
"Trunks, Trunks oh there you two are!" Bulma said running up to the two.
"Uh hi mom…" Trunks said to her.
"Mother…" Future Trunks said hesitantly.
"Oh what a coincidence that young man over there has the same name as my grandson…" Mrs. Briefs said.
"That's because he is your grandson…from the future…" Oolong said as he stuffed his face with cake.
"Oh…OH…oh my how weird…" Mrs. Briefs said.
"Let me get a look at you….are you ok did Cell hurt you Piccolo and Tien told me everything…" Bulma said inspecting her future son.
"Yes mother I am fine really…" Future Trunks said backing away slightly.
"Well good I was worried…and as for you mister who do you think you are leaving the lookout like that! How many times have I told you not to interfere with your father's training and while he was fighting the bad guys you could have gotten hurt or KILLED?!?" Bulma said angry.
"Sorry mom I just…" Trunks began when all of a sudden Bulma grabbed him and pulled him in for a hug.
"Sorry smorry all I care about now is that you are safe…don't ever scare me like that again do you hear me?!?" Bulma said almost in tears.
"Yes mom…" Trunks said embarrassed.
Vegeta looked on in semi shock and disgust…in disgust over her hysterical emotions towards their son and in shock that she actually had been telling the boy to leave him alone when he trained and was in battle.
All of a sudden everyone looked over to see Master Roshi sitting in front of the TV watching his 'exercise programs'.
"Hey Roshi what do you think you're doing we had that on the news!" Chichi yelled at him.
"Well you all lost out while you were talking so I am going to watch my programs!" Master Roshi said as he watched the girls on the screen.
"Man do you have no shame old man really…" Oolong said as he scooted his way over next to him in front of the screen.
"Gross I always forget how dirty of an old man Master Roshi is…" Trunks said.
"Yeah I know…" Reilena said as they looked on in disgust.
"Hey you come back in ten years and tell me that ok?" Master Roshi yelled at Trunks.
All of a sudden Cell appeared on the screen scaring both Master Roshi and Oolong.
"Hey look everyone Cell's on TV!" Reilena said pointing to the screen.
Everyone quickly gathered round the TV as they flipped through the channels to find that he was on everyone.
Hello People of Earth I am Cell…I have a message for all of you…now pay attention to what I have to say your boring lives are about to get a little more interesting thanks to me…I have enjoyed terrorizing earth but now I have something far more entertaining planed for this planet. For those of you who don't remember me take a closer look at my face…the big monster of Nicky Town…I am the evolved form of that creature and I owe it all to this pathetic planet for providing me with the bio extract that I needed. Now the reason I'm here is to announce my decision to hold a martial arts tournament…I'm calling it the Cell Games…it's a catchy little title don't you think? The Cell games will be held nine days from today area S point five twenty eight miles north east of East City, there you will find an arena that I designed myself. I modeled it after the one used in the original World Martial Arts Tournament and I believe it is the ideal location for me to crush my competitors. So bring me your best fighters and I will fight them one by one in a contest of strength. This is the last chance for planet Earth if I am not defeated then it belongs to me. My competitors will have the advantage since I will not be able to rest between matches and my new opponents can enter the competition immediately. The rules will be the same as the Worlds Martial Arts Tournament if you give up or your body touches the outside of the ring you loose, and though I will try to avoid this if you die you will of course be disqualified. I hope I haven't frightened any of you from entering so now that you know where the competition will be held all you have to do is find the courage to show up. Now watch this here is a little taste of what you will be up against… Cell said when all of a sudden he let go a blast that wiped out half of the city the television station was in.
Come and get me if you dare…and now…let the games begin…Cell said as he flew out of the whole in the TV station.
"So he really is serious…" Master Roshi said in shock.
"Well…at least he's giving us nine days to train…" Reilena said mesmerized by what had just occurred.
"If that is even enough…" Trunks said.
"He's going to destroy the planet if we don't stop him!" Krillin said frustrated.
"That's right the stakes are a lot higher than we had originally thought we are in big trouble guys!" Yamcha said.
"Well…it's been nice knowing you…maybe we should all get together in the other world when this is all over." Oolong said nervously.
"Man…what are we going to do not even Trunks or Vegeta could beat him…we need Goku…" Yamcha said.
Bulma looked on slightly confused as to what had just happened when she noticed Vegeta taking his shirt off "what are you doing Vegeta…"
"Hear me out I don't really care what happens to this planet…but I promise I will destroy Cell…" Vegeta said walking out of the room.
"Huh…what…" Bulma said confused.
"Wait a minuet father I will go with you!" Future Trunks yelled as he ran after him.
"Yeah me too dad!" Trunks said as he started to walk towards him.
All of a sudden Bulma got in front of him "oh no mister you are staying right here not after that little stunt you pulled yesterday!" Bulma said angry.
"But mom I…" Trunks said trying to reason with her.
"No buts you are lucky I didn't ground you!" Bulma said to him.
Trunks sighed in defeat "oh man this is so not cool…"
"Hey son from the future before you go let me cut your hair…it might get in the way." Bulma said to him.
"Oh man why does he get to go…" Trunks said disappointed.
"Because he is older that's why and he doesn't go running off without his mother's permission to go fight scary green android monsters!" Bulma said to her younger son.
Future Trunks looked at her in shock and blush mother if you only knew the truth…
"So wait a minuet where are you guys going?" Krillin asked them.
"Where do you think we are going baldy?" Vegeta said as he left the room.
"Back the hyperbolic time chamber I presume…" Krillin said aggravated.
"Cool…so guess I will just go back and wait with them for dad and Gohan to…" Reilena began but Chichi cut her off.
"Oh no young lady you are coming with me back to the Kami house! You have already proven to me that you can't be trusted unsupervised!" Chichi scolded.
"Awe but mom I promise I won't…" Reilena pleaded.
"No buts you are coming with me and the others to the Kami house and that's that!" Chichi yelled as she went to gather her things.
"Man…you would think that she would at lease let me stay here…the Kami house is so boring…there's nothing to do there and mom won't let me train…" Reilena said looking at Trunks.
"I heard that young lady and there is plenty for you to do there…like your homework!" Chichi yelled.
"But mom that planet is under attack I need to train incase everyone needs me to fight!" Reilena said to her.
"No, no, no, no. NO! Ugh this is all your father's fault for introducing you to this gang of...of...of HOOLIGANS!" Chichi said grabbing her by the arm and leading her out of the building.
"Bye Rei…I'll call you while you're at the Kami house!" Trunks yelled as he watched her leave.
"Man this is so lame…" Reilena said as she boarded the airship and they left Capsule Corp.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey turn on the TV lets see if Cell has said anything else!" Yamcha said as they all walked into the Kame house.
Master Roshi grabbed the remote and turned it on to the news station where they were showing all the mass panic and fear from the people of Earth.
"Man…look at all those people….are they all running from Cell?" Reilena asked looking at the TV.
"I think so kiddo…" Krillin said as he watched.
"But I don't get it…don't they know that it doesn't matter if they run…Cell will still kill them all if he blows the planet up or something you know? I mean…I overheard Trunks's grandpa say that all the androids Dr. Gero made had bombs inside them with the strength to blow up the whole planet!" Reilena said to them.
"Yes, but sometimes people do things that make them feel safer even though it may not really change anything. These people running from their homes and out into the country side is there way of trying to subdue their fear…" Master Roshi said to her.
"Well…I think that you need to go and practice your grammar and you won't have to worry about a thing." Chichi said as everyone fell over anime style.
"Yes mom…" Reilena said as she went and grabbed her grammar book from her bad and started to do her exercises.
"Man this is all my fault…I just had to destroy the remote! I am such a jerk!" Krillin said to them upset.
"What…what did you say…?" Yamcha said in shock.
"Krillin I don't think it's your fault…I think that Cell would have eventually found her you know? And if you did destroy her…Trunks's dad didn't seem to keen on destroying him…so I am sure that Cell would have done something to win…" Reilena said while she did her homework.
Krillin turned to her "What….what are you talking about?"
"No Krillin she is right even if you did destroy her I am sure that Cell had more tricks up his sleeve and Vegeta would have given him the chance…" Master Roshi said.
"But I still think I should do something!" Krillin said as he headed to the door.
"No Krillin…as your Master I forbid you to go…if you want to fight him then enter his tournament. The only thing I can see us doing right now is to wait for Goku and Gohan to finish their training and see how strong they have become…" Master Roshi said to him.
"Yeah…I guess you are right…" Krillin said as he walked back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So how much longer are Goku and Gohan going to be in there?" Future Trunks asked as he sat on the lookout.
"Three hours…" Videl said nonchalantly.
Everyone looked over at her surprised.
"What…didn't think that I was keeping track please…I want them to come out more than anyone." Videl said with a smirk.
"Yes she is right they have three more hours left to finish off their year." Mr. Popo confirmed.
"I am sure they will stay longer than that…Kakarotto and his whiney brat will do anything to surpass me!" Vegeta snorted.
"Vegeta they are training in there so they can defeat Cell not you…they've already done that once already." Piccolo said to him.
"Shut your mouth Namek I won't hesitate to blast you all the way to the other world!" Vegeta yelled.
"Father please…" Future Trunks said trying to calm him down.
"Why don't you rest Vegeta…while I go in…?" Piccolo said to him with a smirk.
"Well that is a waste of time. I mean you don't really think you are going to become as strong as a Saiyjin do you?" Vegeta said with a smirk.
Piccolo said nothing as he avoided eye contact with Vegeta.
Vegeta smirked "fine take your day but I will have the rest of the time to train in there until the day of the Cell Games."
"I wouldn't count on that…didn't you know that you could only spend two days inside?" Piccolo smirked.
"What…you lie…that's ridicules how gullible do you think I am?" Vegeta said aggravated.
"No it's true…after forty eight hours the entrance will disappear and you will become trapped in there forever…" Mr. Popo confirmed.
"But father there is plenty of time we still have twenty three hours left." Future Trunks said trying to be smart.
All of a sudden everyone but Videl's head turned to the entrance to the time chamber.
"Huh…what…is Cell here or something?" Videl said looking around.
"No…they must be done…I can feel Goku's energy…" Tien said.
"What why now it's hasn't even been a year…" Vegeta said.
"Uh what are you guys talking about I don't see them anywhere…or feel them for that matter." Videl said getting frustrated.
All of a sudden a tattered and torn Super Saiyjin Goku and Gohan came around the corner to greet them.
"Ah Vegeta and Trunks I knew I sensed them Gohan…ah Videl glad to see you stayed up here….and I can still sense Cell too but now he is even stronger." Goku said looking around.
Videl just stared at them blankly almost not being able to recognize Gohan with his now longer hair and bulkier muscles.
"Go…Gohan…is that you…" Videl stuttered as she looked at him.
Gohan looked at her and gave her a goofy grin "yeah of course it's me Videl…who else would I be?"
Videl walked over to him and started to inspect every inch of him "your hair…it's long and blonde…I think…you should cut it…"
Gohan laughed "yeah that's the plan as soon as I get home."
"There is something else different about you but I can't figure out what it is…." Videl said still looking at him.
Gohan just put his hand behind his head and laughed nervously.
"So you guys care to fill us in on what's been going on while we've been gone?" Goku said to them.
"Yeah…sure…" Tien said still amazed.
"Oh and before you get started…I really need to get something to eat I'm starving!" Goku said to them as everyone fell over anime style.
"Well at least he hasn't changed at all." Tien laughed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mmm this is really hitting the spot!" Goku said as he ate.
"Yeah definitely dad!" Gohan said as he shoveled rice into his mouth.
"I don't know if I will ever get used to this…" Videl said as she looked on in disgust.
"You don't really…" Piccolo commented.
"Uh wasn't there enough food in there for you guys?" Tien asked.
Goku and Gohan looked at each other and nodded their heads.
"Oh jerz desh nlty if doof dif jubs Gohan…" Goku began with his mouth full.
"Uh Goku how about you try saying that without your mouth full." Piccolo said.
Goku quickly swallowed his food and began again "what I was saying was that Gohan and I can't cook very well so it's been a really long time since we have had a home cooked meal."
"I see this…" Tien said looking on.
"I mean really there was this one time that I asked Gohan to fire me up a roast beef and he completely disintegrated it! Goku said laughing.
"How can they be Super Saiyjin's like this and be acting so…so natural…" Vegeta said looking at them in aggravation.
"Alright thanks a lot Mr. Popo that was great!" Gohan said as he sat back full.
"Yeah you said it son that was a good meal." Goku said to him.
"Wow…I still don't get this whole Saiyjin eating thing…" Videl said blankly.
"So Trunks why don't you tell us what's been happening?" Goku said to him.
"Oh right…" Future Trunks said as he began to tell them everything that has happened in their absence.
"Hrmm so that's it a tournament huh? I got to say it sounds interesting…" Goku said with a smirk.
"What…what did you just say?" Piccolo said in shock.
"Interesting…what do you mean interesting the whole world is going to end and all you can say is interesting?!?" Videl said in disbelief.
"Yeah it sounds like an interesting challenge…hey Mr. Popo do you still have the clothes I left here?" Goku said.
"Sure I do let me go get them." Mr. Popo said.
Goku changed into his normal clothing as Gohan had Piccolo materialize a new one for him…one like his without the training weights.
"Hey Goku I am sure that my mother would make you some new Saiyjin armor if you ask her." Future Trunks said to him.
"Nah I want to fight as an earthling thanks though." Goku said with a smile.
"Ok…Kakarotto do you think you can beat Cell now?" Vegeta said walking up to him.
"Can't really tell yah I haven't seen him since he absorbed 18 and transformed…I'll have to go check him out…" Goku said as he instant transmission himself to where Cell was.
"What where did he go he just disappeared?!?" Videl said looking around.
"Don't worry dad just used his instant transmission to take him to where Cell is." Gohan said nonchalantly.
"What…what do you mean how did he…" Videl said when he cut her off.
"I promise I will tell you later…ok?" Gohan said putting his hand on her shoulder.
Videl looked up at him and slowly nodded her head as Goku appeared again.
"So do you think you can beat him?" Future Trunks asked him.
"To be honest Trunks he is a lot stronger than I thought he'd be I can't really be sure until I see him fight…but if I had to fight him right now…I am pretty sure that he would kick my butt." Goku said.
"I get it Goku…I understand…" Future Trunks said to him.
"He can still use the hyperbolic time chamber once more…there is still plenty of time left and we decided to go in first…then Vegeta who wants to go alone…" Piccolo said to him.
"That is because I don't want any of you to interfere with my training!" Vegeta snapped back.
"Well I've decided not to go in because I don't think I would be a worthy opponent." Tien said to them.
"Trunks will be next followed by Goku and Gohan you two will be last…" Piccolo said.
"Thanks but Gohan and I don't need a turn…there is only nine days left so I think we will train outside until then…" Goku said.
"You're not serious!" Vegeta yelled.
"Yeah…I mean don't you guys need to maximize the amount of time you have to train…I mean Cell is really strong and you just said if you fought him now you would loose!" Videl said in shock.
"I know what I said and I really don't think that Gohan and I need another turn." Goku said smiling at her.
"Uh dad are you sure about that?" Gohan said hesitantly.
"Yup I'm positive!" he said to his son.
"Goku are you sure you want to do this?" Piccolo asked him.
"Yeah don't worry guys I mean it won't do me or Gohan any good…it takes too much out to me and Gohan…I don't know why you are freaking out about this?" Goku said to them.
Vegeta smirked "I get it little Kakarotto finally admits he is too weak to handle this kind of training."
"Yeah right, if you think torturing your body in there is the same as training then go for it. I mean I know how important it is for you to keep up with my strength level so I guess you might want to take that extra year." Goku said with a laugh.
"Oh really, it sounds to me that you think you have become much stronger than I am right now." Vegeta said with a smirk.
"Sure I am definitely far above you…" Goku said to him.
"Uh do your dad and Vegeta have some kind of friendly competition going on?" Videl whispered to Gohan.
"Well yeah kind of but I wouldn't exactly call it friendly." Gohan said with a slight laugh.
"What did you say Kakarotto I don't believe you!" Vegeta said getting angry.
"Believe what you want Vegeta…but I know the truth." Goku said with smirk.
Vegeta just stared at him with a cold face.
Gohan decided to break the silence between them "hey Videl maybe my dad can give you a lift back to your house I mean unless you wanted to stay up here longer?"
"What are you talking about I can fly remember you taught me and besides you have to answer what I want to know!!" Videl said with an attitude.
"Uh yes you're right…but maybe before the tournament on another day we can get together over coffee or something….and besides it's got to be over an hour to Satan City! With my dads instant transmission you will be home in seconds!" Gohan said nervously.
"Absolutely not Son Gohan who do you think I am an idiot you are trying to avoid the whole situation well guess what I don't think so I am not leaving until you tell me!" Videl said getting up in his face.
"But Videl…" Gohan started.
"Maybe today isn't a good day Videl…I mean Gohan and I haven't been home in a long time and I kind of promised Chichi that I would bring Gohan home right after we finished…" Goku said walking up to her with a smile.
"But…ok fine…but don't be surprised if I show up at your house over the next few days!" Videl said to him.
"Ok and I promise to tell you anything you need to know!" Gohan said backing away from her.
"You better…" Videl said crossing her arms.
"So I guess we will be seeing you guys at the tournament…Videl hold on to my shoulder." Goku said.
Videl walked over and put her hand on his shoulder as did Gohan.
"Bye everyone good luck training!" Gohan said as they disappeared.
"I wonder what Goku is planning?" Tien said.
"I don't know but I hope that whatever it is it helps us beat Cell." Future Trunks said to him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Uh dad what are we doing at Master Korin's?" Gohan said looking around the tower.
"Oh sorry just had to make a quick pit stop I wanted to talk to Korin…if that's ok with you two." Goku said to them.
Videl and Gohan slowly nodded their heads as Korin and Yajirobe came out.
"Oh its you guys…" Yajirobe said as he sat down at the table.
"Hey Yajirobe what's up? You remember Yajirobe right?" Gohan said looking at her.
"Yeah I do…how can I forget such a coward." Videl said with a smirk.
"Hey take that back I am not a coward!" Yajirobe said yelling at her.
"Well I agree with the girl you are a coward." Korin said walking up to her.
"Videl this is Master Korin he grows the sensu beans we use sometimes up here. He's also a trained martial artist my dad trained with him years ago. Korin this is my…friend Videl." Gohan said.
"Ah very nice to meet you Videl." Korin said shaking her hand.
"Yeah…same here…" Videl said confused.
"So Goku you wanted to speak to me? I am sure it's about your troubles on Earth with Cell?" Korin said focusing his attention on him.
"Yeah I was just down there and Cell seems to be pretty much indestructible…" Goku said with a laugh.
"Really then why do you look so calm Goku what's going on? Did you discover some new secret in the hyperbolic time chamber?" Korin asked him.
"Actually yeah I did!" Goku said laughing.
Huh what is dad talking about when did he do that I was with him the whole time? Gohan thought to himself.
"Well Korin the reason why I am really here is I wanted to see if you knew how strong Cell really is." Goku said to him.
"Hrmm…well up till now he hasn't shown his full potential but yes I could tell you more or less." Korin said to him.
"What how is he going to do that?" Videl said to Gohan.
"Beats me…" Gohan said shrugging his shoulders.
"Then can you tell me where I stand…here I will channel my power for you." Goku said to him.
"Sure go right ahead." Korin said with a smile.
Goku began powering up almost causing Yajirobe and Videl to fly away from the energy he was emitting. Videl quickly latched onto Gohan's arm for support.
"Ok Goku you better stop now or you are going to wreck the tower!" Korin yelled.
Goku powered down leaving a stunned Yajirobe hanging onto one of the pillars of the tower.
"Uh Videl…you can let go of my arm now…if you want…" Gohan said nervously.
Videl looked up and quickly let go of his arm and blushed "Sssorry…"
"Well that was about half of my power…" Goku said to him.
"Half…that was only half…" Videl said shocked.
"So what yah think?" Goku asked him.
"That was only HALF of your power….what's wrong with people like you can you not be happy until you wreck the whole planet?" Korin said in shock.
"So how do I stack up against Cell?" Goku asked.
"Well that's kind of hard for me to answer…but to be blunt I would say Cell would have to be stronger." Korin said.
"What Cell is stronger well what are we waiting around for shouldn't we be planning our escape?" Yajirobe said in panic.
What Cell is stronger than him…no way he has so much power that's nuts… Videl thought to herself.
"Yup that's just what I had thought I just wanted to make sure…thanks Korin!" Goku said to the surprise of everyone.
"Uh don't…mention it…" Korin said still in shock.
"So are you two ready to go?" Goku asked them.
"Yeah dad…I think so…" Gohan said hesitantly.
"Ok so I was thinking of dropping off Videl first then going to Master Roshi's to get your mom and sister ok?" Goku said to Gohan.
"Yeah sure that's cool…" Gohan said back to him.
"Videl lives in Satan city right…I will just try to find a large ki in that area and maybe you can fly the rest home?" Goku asked her.
"Yeah…that's fine sir…" she said.
Goku grabbed onto both of them and began searching for a ki.
"Uh sorry to bother you Korin…" Gohan said as they vanished.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goku, Gohan and Videl appeared in a field near some dinosaurs grazing.
"Ok this is as far as I can get you…is this ok?" Goku asked her.
"Yeah…this is fine…thank you…." Videl said to him still confused as to how this whole instant transmission thing worked.
"Alright let's go son I am sure your mother is waiting for us." Goku said with a smile.
"Right bye Videl I'll see you around!" Gohan said as they disappeared.
"What hey wait a minuet I wasn't done…talking to you…" Videl trailed off.
"Stupid Gohan…you haven't seen the last of me…when you least expect I am going to get what I want…" Videl said as she flew off towards the city.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright let's get your mom and sister and go on home…we can relax more there. I figured that we have three days of rest…then three days for some training then another three days of rest before the games." Goku said to him calmly as he walked towards the Kami House.
"Hey dad can I ask you something…I mean I've just been wanting to know do you think we have a chance to beat Cell?" Gohan asked him worried.
Goku laughed "hey let's not worry about that right now…we have nine days lets just kick back for awhile we deserve it!" Goku said pushing him towards the house.
"Hey look guys its Videl's dad on TV…" Reilena said pointing to the screen.
"Oh yeah that's right…her father is that clown Mr. Satan…" Yamcha said unenthusiastically.
"Hey guys what's going on?" Goku said as he and Gohan walked through the door.
Everyone turned to see them walking in.
"Goku…it's you…" Master Roshi said.
"Yeah who else would I be?" Goku laughed.
"Then you must be Gohan…wow you really buffed up…" Oolong said in amazement.
"Dad…dy…Daddy!" Reilena yelled as she jumped into his arms.
"Hey whoa there Rei I've only been gone a day." Goku said with a smile.
"I know but I missed you…" Reilena said as she pulled away from him.
Goku smiled and gave her a hug "aww well I missed you too Rei."
Reilena turned to look at Gohan "wow Gohan your hair sure grew really long."
"Yeah…I know…" Gohan said running his fingers through it.
"So what cha guys watching on the TV?" Goku asked as he set Reilena down.
"Oh just that goofball Mr. Satan…" Krillin said unimpressed.
"Yeah he just announced that he will be fighting in the tournament…hey did anyone tell you about the Cell games yet?" Yamcha asked him.
"Wow Videl's dad is going to be fighting in the tournament…" Gohan said.
"Yeah Trunks from the future told me all about it and I just got back from checking out Cell's new body." Goku said to them.
"So…you can take him no problem right Goku?" Krillin said getting up.
"I don't know really…from what I saw he looks pretty tough…to tell you the truth if I were to fight him right now he'd probably kick my butt." Goku laughed.
Everyone but Gohan fell over anime style from his last comment.
"But daddy what do you mean you can't beat him…you are the strongest in the universe remember…" Reilena said looking up at him confused.
"Well Rei I'm glad that you think so but right now I think that title belongs to Cell…for now…" Goku said to her.
"Ok Goku quit fooling around you are kidding right?" Yamcha said with a laugh.
"No actually I am dead serious…" Goku said.
"So how come you are in such a good mood?" Master Roshi asked him.
"You are hiding something aren't you Goku I know you…" Oolong said to him.
Goku laughed "that's for me to know."
"But anyways where's Chichi Gohan and I came here to take her and Rei home with us." Goku said looking around.
"Mom's upstairs cleaning…" Reilena said with a sigh.
"Ah I see Chichi hey Chichi I'm back!" Goku yelled.
"Goku…is that you? I was so worried about you I was just about to…" Chichi said as she ran down the stairs and all of a sudden noticed Gohan there next to him.
"Gohan…your hair…" Chichi said in shock.
"Ok Chichi calm down…don't get upset…" Master Roshi said to her.
"Yeah mom it's just hair…" Reilena said bracing herself for the worse.
"Hi hun it's time to take you home." Goku said with a smile.
"Yeah…mom…let's go…" Gohan said hoping to avoid a scene.
"But…your hair…it's…long…and untamed…and…" Chichi said as she let out a scream.
"Oh man too late there she goes…" Krillin said hiding behind the couch with Oolong.
"Gohan why is your hair blonde like this who gave you permission to dye it you may be a teenager but you are still my son!" Chichi said grabbing on to his hair.
"Chichi it's not dyed…Gohan and I are just Super Saiyjin's we are just trying something out that's all honest." Goku said to her.
"But why can't you go back to your black hair…and it's so long…how are you going to get Videl to marry you looking like this!" Chichi said almost in tears.
"What?!? Mom calm down really I can go back to my natural hair color honest…dad and I are just going to try and stay Super Saiyjin's till the Cell Games so we can have more power in battle that's all and I was going to cut my hair as soon as we got him!" Gohan said trying to calm her down.
"You…you had better mister!" Chichi yelled at him.
"Alright let's go Chichi…Rei are you ready?" Goku said to them.
"Yeah let me just go get my stuff!" Reilena said as she ran to gather her school supplies.
"Alright so I guess I will see you guys later!" Goku said with a smile as he and his family vanished.
"Man I wonder what Goku has up his sleeve that is making him this calm…" Krillin pondered.

Videl landed near her house to notice that the street was blocked off and police were everywhere.
"Huh…what's going on I hope dad is alright…" Videl said to herself as she approached the barricade.
"Hey what's going on why is my street closed off?" Videl said to one of the officers.
"Oh Miss Videl I am glad to see that you are safe with Cell running around. The streets closed off because of the crowd around your mansion." The officer said to her.
"What…a crowd why?" Videl asked.
"Because your father just announced that he would be competing in the Cell Games didn't you know?" the officer said to her.
"WHAT MY DAD IS FIGHTING IN THE CELL GAMES IS HE INSAINE?!?!" Videl yelled shocked.
"Well yes I don't know why you are so surprised I mean he is the world champion in martial arts." The officer said to her.
"Listen bud let me through I need to talk to my dad." Videl said as she pushed her way through.
"Hey Videl wait a minuet…" the officer yelled at her but it was too late she was too far away to hear.
Is my dad nuts…Gohan's father isn't even strong enough to defeat Cell…what makes my dad think…no he doesn't think he can this is all a publicity stunt…one that is going to get him killed! Videl thought as she approached the mansion.
"Alright let me through…move out of the way I live here!" Videl said as she pushed her way through the crowd.
Finally she reached the gates and pushed pass security to get into the mansion.
"Ah Miss Videl glad to see you again." The butler said to her.
"Hey where's my dad I need to speak to him right now!" Videl said to him.
"Ah yes Mr. Satan is in his study may I take your things?" the butler said to her.
"No thank you!" she yelled as she ran up the stairs to his study.
"Ah Mr. Satan you are a genius when it comes to marketing yourself." Mr. Satan said as he sipped his brandy.
"Dad?" Videl said as she burst through the door.
"Ah Videl how have you been sweetie?" Mr. Satan said walking up to her to give her a hug.
Videl stepped away from him "why does it matter you haven't really cared ever since your career has took off…and it's gotten worse since becoming world champion! There is a people eating monster out there dad and you never once called me to make sure that I was ok!"
"Well sweetie I just lost track of time and you know there are a lot of things going on now that I am world champion and all. And besides you never once called me to make sure that that Cell monster didn't gobble me up!" Mr. Satan said to her.
"That's not the point dad….err never mind all this I didn't rush here to argue with you about your lack of parenting skills! Dad you are insane for wanting to fight Cell!" She said to him.
"Oh please he doesn't scare me I know what he's doing he's using tricks to scare people into thinking he is really strong that's it I can take him no sweat." Mr. Satan said to her.
"No dad you can't there are people out there that are stronger than you who can't even take him! You will get yourself killed!" Videl yelled back at him.
"No I won't sweetie I am world champion and there is NO ONE stronger than me I am the strongest in the world I can handle a stupid little monster and you are not going to change my decision." Mr. Satan said turning his back.
Videl just stood there on the verge of tears "dad I can't let you I can't loose you too I already lost mom and I can't let you kill yourself by challenging Cell!"
"Your mother's situation and this are nothing alike I am not going to get killed by Cell and I am going to fight him and that's that!" Mr. Satan yelled back at her.
There was a few seconds of silence between them then Videl began to speak "fin…you know what I can't be here right now…I can't watch you do this…"
Videl left the room and stormed down the hallway to her room.
"Videl wait where are you going?!?" Mr. Satan yelled as he followed her to her room.
Videl began to through some of her clothes into an overnight bag that she had.
"Videl what are you doing I order you to stop packing right now!" he said to her.
"I can't stay here with you acting like this I am going to stay with someone else for awhile." Videl said whipping away her tears.
"Videl why are you doing this why are you getting so upset over this do you not have faith in me?" Mr. Satan asked her.
Videl looked up from her bag "because no matter how much of a jerk you can be I love you dad and I can't watch you go get yourself killed…and you know what I did have faith in you…but not anymore not after the way you have been acting since mom died."
Videl zipped up her bag and walked towards the window.
"Videl at least tell me where you will be staying." Mr. Satan pleaded with her.
"I don't know probably Erasa's." she said as she flew out of the window.
Mr. Satan looked on in shock as he watched his daughter fly out the window.
"What…how…can she fly when did she learn that trick?" he said in shock as he looked out her window.

"Ah geese mom that was a great meal…" Gohan said as he rubbed his stomach.
"Yeah definitely Chichi I love your cooking." Goku said as he leaned back.
"Well I am glad that you think so." Chichi said with a warm smile.
"Well I am going to go and watch some TV…" Reilena said as she got up from her chair but was blocked by Chichi.
"Oh no you going upstairs and studying young lady!" Chichi said to her.
"Awe but mom that's not fair why do I have to study Gohan doesn't!" Reilena whined.
"Well it's not Gohan's fault that his classes got canceled because of Cell now go" Chichi yelled.
"Ok…" Reilena said as she heard a knock on the door.
"I'll get it!" Gohan and Reilena said at the same time as they bolted for the door.
"Ha beat you to it squirt!" Gohan said as he went to open the door.
"No fair you're a Super Saiyjin!" Reilena whined as she went back to the table.
"You snooze you loose!" Gohan said with a laugh as he opened the door.
Gohan's face quickly went to shock as he saw who was at the door.
"Videl…"
