Well, the main plot-line is over but it doesn't end yet. I'd guess that there will be around 2-3 more chapters after this one to wrap up the whole thing.

Ch. 9 Nightmares of Weaknesses

"Who do they think they are? I'm not weak." Videl muttered .

She had been assaulted the punching bag in her father's dojo with a barrage of kicks and punches since the morning. She couldn't get over the how Gohan refused to spar with her the previous day. In Videl's mind, he basically told her that she wasn't strong enough.

"I'm not weak!" Videl shouted at the top of her lungs, finishing her relentless attack.

Videl had decided to stop she had been training since the morning and she was beginning to ache all over her body.

"What are you guys looking at, get back to training!" Videl snapped at her father's students who she now noticed were staring at her.

She exited the dojo to go home and rest. Videl was hoping to maybe go home and just relax but today just wasn't her day.

As soon as she arrived at her home, she noticed a group of journalist gathering in-front of her father. Obviously kissing his pompous ass.

"So champ, what you're saying is twenty men will have a chance to fight you for the World Martial Arts Championship title?" one journalist asked.

"The right. This will take place on Papaya Island, it will be like the World Martial Arts tournament. And the twenty men who survive the preliminaries will get to fight in a battle royal. The last man in the ring gets to face me. Not that they could beat me." Hercule announced arrogantly.

That's it. I've got it. Videl thought, I'll threaten Gohan and get him to enter the my dad's battle royal tournament. Then I'll eliminate him and them we'll see who's weak.

Satisfied with her plan to "persuade" Gohan to fight, Videl rushed inside to take a shower and get some rest. After the shower she was so exhausted from her killer training regiment that she fell asleep just from sitting on her bed.

She slept quietly and peacefully for a while until the middle of the night when se started to twist and turn in her bed.

(Videl's P.O.V.)

"How quickly you forget, Videl." a voice laughed

"What's happening? Where am I? Who are you?" I asked, trying to hide my fear.

"I thought you'd remember me after but then again we've only met a few months ago. And you are Hercule's daughter." the voice laughed

"G-Gohan?"

"Yeah it's me." he said stepping out of the shadows.

"Gohan why are you…"

"Because you forget to quickly Videl. Just yesterday I saved your life. Drake had you practically begging for you life." Gohan laughed, the mockingly.

I was in shock. Even though I hated to admit it, he was right. Drake did almost kill me and probably would have if it weren't for him.

"I know what you're thinking Videl. It's about time you showed me some respect. But if only you had sooner. You see, Videl, I beat Drake easily crippled you and just think…"

And then she background changed. I was no longer in the dark void of…well darkness. I was now in a quiet grassy field. There were trees leading into a forest and a small house.

"Were am I?" I muttered.

"What do you mean Videl. You're at home." a voice said from behind me.

I turned and was prepared for what I saw. Gohan was standing behind me but he seemed a little older wearing a suit and next to him was a little girl who looked like a 4 year old version of me with short hair wearing a red gi.

"Mommy are you okay." the little girl asked.

"mommy." I muttered.

"Is mommy okay, daddy." the little girl asked Gohan.

What! Did the girl who just called me mommy call Gohan…that means…BEEEPP!

(Normal P.O.V.)

The alarm clock sounded waking Videl up from her dream. She one part of her was grateful for it but another part of her wanted to find out more. That part of her wanted to see if they were happy and wanted to believe that it was reality. She hated the part of her. The part of her made her feel vulnerable. Made her feel brittle, fragile, weak.

Well that's it for this chapter I guess. I hope you like it. I know this one was short but think of it this way the shorter these chapters are the long the story is. (joking) Anyway thanks for reading and please review.
