Author's Note:

Thanks to everyone for the continued support! I'm really excited for this myself! :3

Disclaimer: Still don't own Dragon Ball Z. If I'm totally rich when I'm older, maybe I will purchase it! And do a whole new series of just Gohan... muahahahahaha!

CHAPTER SIX:

"What do you mean, Gohan was here?" Vegeta demanded. He slammed his fist on the small coffee table. The brown oak broke under his fist, shattering unto several pieces.

"Explain yourself!" Vegeta glared at Chi-Chi, murder in his eyes. "I want some answers, now." Chi-Chi was sitting on the couch, as Vegeta leaned down and got right up into her face, glaring.

"You leave my Mommy alone!" Goten had grabbed Chi-Chi's frying pan and hit Vegeta's cheek with the side of it. Vegeta flew into the wall, the plaster breaking under his body. He continued flying, until he collided with a small plateau.

"Chi-Chi, you're sure?" Bulma asked, ignoring the sparring half-Saiyan tyke and the arrogant prince. "You saw Gohan?"

"Yes, I did. He had blue hair, golden eyes, but it was still him. I could never get his face profile out of my head... I know it was him! Also, a voice told Goten and I that it really was him. This being said that he'd grant my wish. And I saw my baby boy." Chi-Chi drew a blanket closer around her shoulders. It had come from Gohan's room – she had gotten an addition built on the house so that Goten had his own room. Gohan's room hadn't been touched in the three years he had been gone... until now.

The blanket almost smelled like her son. Chi-Chi buried her face in it. The familiar scent of vanilla and pine tree needles.

"I want him back, Bulma. Maybe he'll come home soon... finally..." Chi-Chi started balling again, hiding in the plaid blanket.

"I know, Chi-Chi. We just need to keep our faith. Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta... everyone is going after Gohan. You'll get him back, I'm sure." Bulma looked out the window, frowning. The dragon did mention that Erai is able to control her prisoners. Maybe she did that to Gohan. I really hope not. the blue haired beauty looked down at her friend sadly. It would break poor Chi-Chi.

"You ready to go, Videl?" Gohan looked over his shoulder at his girlfriend. She looked really pretty today – she had recently cut her hair to shoulder length. It cascaded over her shoulders, and curled beautifully, framing her face. Her gorgeous blue eyes sparkled as she winked and gave her boyfriend a thumbs up. She had on a white tank top with "Fight" in navy letters. She had navy shorts, along with black combat boots.

"Ready as I'll ever be!" she grinned and kissed Gohan's cheek, smiling. She smirked at her boyfriend as he went beet red and twiddled his thumbs absently. He had on a dark purple gi. It was loose on the top half, exposing his well-defined chest. It was tied at the waist with a red sash, then continued down his body. It was tight enough to show off his muscles, but loose enough to not hamper him while he was fighting. He also had on black combat boots, and red wrist wraps.

"Come on, you big lug. Erai, we're ready!" Videl called. She glanced behind her at Erai. The beautiful woman had her hands in front of her, palms facing the portal she had created. It looked like a dark vortex, but Videl and Gohan had practiced going through those things several times.

"Good luck. Do you know of your targets?" Erai fixed Gohan and Videl with a serious stare. Erai had had a hard time concealing her dark energy, and she couldn't wait to use it again. I will wipe out all of Earth. Erai thought gleefully, her aura starting to change.

Both Gohan and Videl raised an eyebrow at the dark aura coming off of Erai, but nonetheless, they nodded.

"Son Goku, and Hercule Satan." Videl and Gohan said at the same time. They grinned at each other and started laughing.

"Well, let's go then!" Gohan grabbed Videl's hand and jumped through the portal. Videl wasn't strong enough to stand on her own through these, so she jumped on Gohan's back. She clutched at the back of his gi, watching the dark energy pass them by. Light shone in front of them, and Gohan dove towards it. Videl locked her grip as they landed, and the strange gravity sensation ended.

"We're here. You okay?" Gohan looked behind him as he let Videl down.

"Yup." Videl stretched, getting rid of the feeling of nausea. "Now we just need to find Son Goku and Hercule Satan!"

"Well, I did some research," Gohan started. Of course he did. Videl thought, shaking her head in despair.

"What?" Gohan asked, catching her look.

"Nothing." Videl waved her hand, telling him to continue. "Go on?"

"Well, Hercule took credit for the defeat of Cell. Should we ambush him?" Gohan asked. "He's strong for a human, but doesn't know how to control Ki. He should be simple to take down."

"Nah." Videl wasn't sure why, but she felt like she had to take revenge on Hercule Satan. "Let's try to find a public thing he's at. Then, we swoop in, embarrass him in front of everyone, force him to reveal the truth about the Cell Games, then we kill him!" she clenched her fist, an evil glint in her eyes.

"Whoa there! What did he do to you?" Gohan asked, slightly concerned by her hatred of him. "I know we have to kill him, but why do we have to tarnish his reputation?"

"I'm not sure. I feel like he's wronged me somewhere along the line." Videl admitted.

"Huh? Wronged you? But you've never even met him!" Gohan said. He glanced around at East City, blinking in confusion at a seemingly upside-down tower.

"Well, I feel like he has." Videl said, slightly annoyed. "Can we just do it, please?"

"If it makes you feel better." Gohan said, eyeing her suspiciously.

"Whoop!" Videl started cheering as a broadcast came on. The towers had viewing screens on them.

"Want to see the hero of the Earth?" the announcer boomed. He was short, with blonde hair and brown eyes. "Want to see the man who saved the world from Cell?!" cheering erupted all over the city. Gohan had to cover his sensitive ears from the horrible noise. "Then come to the Satan Mansion at noon today! The legend himself, Hercule Satan, will be giving us all a speech and will be signing autographs for free!" the announcer yelled. "Now come and support your hero!"

"There's our ticket." Videl smirked at the broadcast, until it shut down and everything returned to normal.

"Hm. That's in a few minutes." Gohan said, glancing at the giant clock towering over the city. "We better go if we want to make it!" he started running, scooping Videl into his arms. She screamed slightly as she fell backwards into Gohan's steady arms, and started moving at speeds she couldn't move by herself. Videl grinned, snuggling into Gohan's chest. He really is the best boyfriend. she thought happily, chuckling when Gohan blushed.

~DBZ~

The Z Fighters were gathered on the Lookout, and had just summoned the Eternal Dragon, Shenron. They had trained for three years straight, and finally felt ready to go and rescue the youngest of their band.

"Dragon!" Piccolo called. "I wish to know of Gohan's whereabouts!" Piccolo narrowed his eyes. Ask where Gohan was, then ask to be teleported there.

"The one called Son Gohan is currently on Earth, leaving East City and heading west." the dragon rumbled, lightning crashing down onto the ground.

"What?" Piccolo mumbled, barely able to hear anyone or anything. "Gohan... he's here." Piccolo mentally slapped himself, getting his composure together.

"What is Gohan's condition?" Piccolo demanded of the dragon, refusing to take no for an answer.

"The one called Son Gohan is purely under the influence of Erai." the dragon rumbled, his eyes glowing as he accessed the information. "His memories of all of you have been erased. He does not know you, and will stop at nothing to destroy you."

The Z Fighters were shocked into silence. They had always thought Gohan as mentally strong; none of them ever expected Gohan to fall prey to Erai's control.

"Physically, he is prime condition. Your wishes have been granted. Farewell." the dragon disappeared, the now dormant dragon balls flying off in different directions.

"Well." Krillin began after an uncomfortable silence. "What do we do now? Because I, for one, am feeling sorely outclassed if we're going up against Gohan." he groaned. "Why do I even participate in these things..."

"We go after Gohan before he hurts someone." Piccolo snapped. "And we force him to come to his senses. As for your second question... because you know if you didn't, I beat you until you agreed."

"You know, you guys are the reason I married 18." Krillin gulped. "But now, everyone can take her down too." he shook his head and yelped as his wife punched him in the shoulder.

"Hey, does anyone else feel that?" Goku asked, staring in the direction of East City. "That power level is HUGE!" Goku clapped his hands. "A good fight... oh, I can't wait...!"

"Goku, that 'good fight' is your son." Piccolo snapped.

"But how can you tell? It doesn't feel like his Ki to me..."

"Trust me... I would know Gohan's Ki anywhere." Piccolo said, emotionless. "Move out!" the Z Fighters powered up, and blasted off in the direction they sensed Gohan's Ki. Piccolo was in the lead, Goku and Vegeta at his sides, slightly behind him. Behind those two were Yamcha, Tien, Krillin, and 18.

I hope you're safe, kid. Don't you worry one bit, Gohan... I'll make sure you're back to normal. I won't let Erai harm you."

~DBZ~

"Guess they're onto us." Gohan looked behind him as he felt the Z Fighters' Ki's rocket. "They've sensed us. Let's go!" Gohan pushed the envelope as much as it could go without transforming into a Super Saiyan.

Gohan looked below him, spotting Satan Mansion. Hercule was giving a speech, saying something about how he was the strongest and how he was going to break twenty bricks with just one chop. Gohan rolled his eyes and landed on the stage, letting Videl down. She was slightly dizzy from the flight, so she clung to his chest while trying to regain her balance.

"Hercule Satan." Gohan said, emotionless. "So you're the person who lied to the whole world?"

"What do you mean?! I am the CHAMP!" Hercule boasted, the crowd throwing things at Gohan.

"Really? Hm, that's strange. I sort of remember you cowering behind a rock as I died." Gohan snapped.

"Y-You're the kid?!" Hercule recoiled from Gohan as if he had the plague. "You can't be serious!"

"Oh, but I am." Gohan took a threatening step towards Hercule, but paused, looking down at Videl.

"Hey, Videl, you doing alright?" he asked, concerned. He ruffled her hair slightly.

"I'm fine." Videl shook her head, spinning to face Hercule.

"I'm going to kill you!" she snarled. She stood in her fighting stance. "But first, you're going to tell all these people that you lied to them."

"V-Videl...? But... you disappeared... years ago..." Hercule was at a loss of words, staring at his lost daughter. "My baby girl has come home!" tears welled from his eyes, streaking down his cheeks. He stepped forwards, as if to hug Videl.

The raven-haired beauty was shocked speechless. She looked behind her, at Gohan, for support.

"Baby girl? Excuse me, but I don't know you." Videl snapped. "We were sent here to kill you. Erai has decided that scum like you needs to be wiped from the face of this planet. You have emotionally tortured a helpless child – and you must pay the price."

"Tortured? I'm so sorry, Videl! I had no idea I was doing that to you!" Hercule fell to his knees, sobbing. "This is my punishment, of course... sending my own daughter to finish me off."

"He isn't lying, Videl. He truly believes that you're his daughter." Gohan finally spoke up from behind Videl, raising an eyebrow. What in the world is going on here? Gohan wondered, eyes narrowing.

"Hey!" Hercule got up, putting on the tough guy again. "Why is my Videl hanging out with a boy?! Videl isn't allowed to date anyone who isn't stronger than me!" he boasted. He flashed the peace sign at the crowd, who cheered and screamed his name.

"Anyone... stronger than..." Videl trailed off, remembering the day she had that strange feeling. Videl sunk to her knees. Nothing was going right. Nothing could be right. Did Erai wipe my memories? she thought. Could I... really be just a tool for Erai to murder another person? And what about Gohan? Videl looked desperately at her boyfriend, who had his eyes closed, concentrating on Ki levels. Did she wipe his memories too? What if he's not the same if he gets them back? Erai did tell me that Son Goku killed Gohan, but Gohan doesn't remember it... suddenly, a feeling of calm tranquility enveloped Videl. Erai's influence taking her mind over. It doesn't matter. We must remove Hercule Satan and Son Goku from existance.

Videl got up, glaring daggers at Hercule. She raised her hand, concentrating her Ki, and threw a small blast at his feet. The explosion detonated, killing several civilians and sending Hercule flying into a wall.

Gohan's eyes snapped open as he heard the screams, seeing the dead bodies and the people running.

"No innocents were to be hurt..." Gohan's eyes lost the fire in them. Horror filled his face, shaking in rage at the six dead bodies. He locked onto one of them, a child... only four years old. For some reason he couldn't remember, this filled him with an infinite rage.

"How could you, Videl?!" Gohan turned on his girlfriend, an angry flame burning within his soul, reflecting in his onyx eyes.

"They had nothing to do with this! How could you drag a four-year-old into your problems?! He had nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with this!" Gohan felt like he could feel with the child, as if something similar had happened to him. He searched his memories, almost feeling something, but it soon faded. He just remembered screams, blood, and death. How could she...? he thought, eyes tearing up.

"He loved Hercule." Videl said. "And to me, that is enough to make him no longer an innocent."

"Videl, sweetie..." Hercule was back on the scene. He desperately held out his hands, pleading with his child. "Don't harm anyone else. Daddy is here."

"As far as I'm concerned, you're not my father! I don't even know you!" Videl screamed, raising her hand to get rid of some of the emotion turmoil she was currently in. She charged her Ki blast, but paused when sensing massive power levels land behind them. She whipped around, Gohan protectively stepping in front of her.

"We finally found you." Goku stared at his son.

~The Z Fighters have finally arrived on the scene to save Hercule Satan. How will Gohan react be being face-to-face with his father after three years, or even worse... Piccolo? Stay tuned for the next chapter!~

Guest:

Thanks for the review and continued support! I agree – I hated Pan's personality in GT. In this fanfic, Pan isn't alive – I didn't like her as a character, but Gohan and Videl do have three kids – first two are twins. Their hidden powers lie within each other. Male and female, the girl as a replacement for Pan. Her personality is different! Their third child will be a scientist, non-fighter. Same personality as Gohan, and massive hidden powers. However, he despises fighting even more than Gohan does. And because Gohan is a good father, he allows his child to choose his own path. Not giving away names, though! XD
