DBZ: My Way
New Responsibility
Videl was finally waking up when she heard noises all around her. Not knowing where she was, she laid there trying to out a face to the voices she was hearing and wondering why people was in her room. Not being able to tell who the voices was she began to open her eyes. "Hey everyone the sleeping beauty is woke" she heard someone say. She then heard a lot of feet scampering around then it stopped.
"Hey Videl your finally woke can you hear me" she heard someone else say.
"Awww my head hurts" she mumbled then looked around "this ain't my room where am I" she asked.
"Videl its me 18 what do you remember" asked 18.
"What do I remember" she started to think "I remember someone looking for my mother, then they was saying something about a debt, then......"she stopped talking and had a horrified look on her face.
"Vi talk to me, tell me what else you remember" said 18 now sitting right in front of her.
"I....I....please tell me it didn't happen" she said to 18.
"Talk to me Vi what are you feeling" 18 said.
"I killed them" she said in a low voice.
"Videl listen to me..." she was interrupted by a crying Videl.
"I killed them" she yelled while crying then she got up and ran out the house while everyone just looked at her retreating body.
"Um should one of us go after her" asked Krillin.
"I'll go get her" said 18 as she started to walk after her. She finally caught up with Videl who was sitting up in a tree looking out over the lake that she first started training her at. "You ok" she asked sitting down next to her.
"How could I just kill 2 people like that? I didn't even think about it, I just hated that they was talking about my mother like that so much tat I lost all ration thought" she then leaned on 18 and started to cry again.
18 held Videl while she cried. Once Videl stopped 18 started to talk "look Vi I know killing people ain't easy but sometimes its the only way" she told her.
"What do you mean" asked Videl.
"What would have happened if you haven't killed them and let them go free" asked 18.
"Don't know" she answered.
"I have a good idea of what they would have done want to hear it" 18 asked Videl nodded. "Ok if you would have let them go they would have probably left the planet and never came back, or they would have went to another part of the planet and took another girl who couldn't fight back forced her to be their sex slave and used her for breeding" she looked at Videl "would you have let them do that" she finished.
"No of course not I would never want that for anyone" answered Videl.
"Good now you I know you wasn't thinking about that at the time, but sometimes you have to think about these things when your fighting people like they were" 18 finished.
"I understand now, but that don't mean I like killing" said Videl. 18 laughed at that "whats so funny" she asked.
"Well Videl if you have liked killing then we would have had a problem" said 18.
"What you mean by that" asked Videl.
"Well if you have liked killing everyone you love would have been in danger of you killing them just because you think its fun" said 18.
"What I would never do that I will only kill if I have to" yelled Videl.
"Good now that we have worked out your whole killing thing lets get you home" they jumped down off the tree and started to fly back towards Satan city.
They got back to the city and walked towards Videl's house and was stopped before they could walk through the gate of the mansion, "Videl Shisho Satan where the hell have you been I have walked around this entire city looking for you" they heard someone angry say behind them.
Videl froze and slowly turned around and looked into the eyes of an angry Erasa "hey Erasa" she started.
"Don't 'hey Erasa' me you know how big this city is" she yelled again.
"Sorry I forgot that I was going shopping with you" said Videl.
"Oh like I didn't figure that out after I couldn't find you the first time I came to your house looking for you" Erasa said sarcastically.
"Hey sorry but im18 and its my fault that Videl was gone I took her to a friends birthday party" said 18.
"Oh but Videl knew how important this was and she promised that nothing would keep her from going" yelled Erasa.
"Erasa don't get so angry you still have time to go shopping the wedding is tomorrow at noon" said Videl.
"What the mall closes in an hour and we both know how hard it is to get you shopping for pants let alone a dress" Erasa said still angry.
"I said sorry will you forgive me" asked Videl.
"Why should I" asked Erasa.
"Well if you do me and 18 will go shopping with you after the wedding plus I will take you to meet Bulma Briefs" said Videl.
"Really you expect me to believe you know Bulma Briefs" said Erasa.
"Well yea have I ever lied to you" asked Videl. Erasa just looked at her like she grew a second head "ok have I ever lied about anything that don't include shopping" corrected Videl.
"You have a point if it don't involve shopping you never lie, but also you have to tell me where you have been and why it has been so hard to find you" said Erasa.
"I think I could explain that" said 18. Erasa just looked at her "Vi could we go somewhere that no one will hear us" asked 18.
"Ok come on" they walked in Videl's house "Mimi i'm home" Videl called.
"Hey Videl how was your day" said Mimi walking in to the foyer "oh who are you" she said seeing 18.
"Mimi this is my friend 18, 18 this is Mimi" Videl introduced them "hey Mimi 18 and Erasa will be staying for dinner" Videl told her.
"Ok I'll call you when its ready" she answered.
"She seems nice" said 18.
"Yea she is the one I always go to when I have a problem" said Videl leading them to her room. 18 then proceeded to tell Erasa everything she was able to gather about Videl's mother, about saiyan's, about androids, and about cell.
"So your saying that Selena was this super warrior who was able to blow up planets without a thought" asked Erasa.
"Well if she wanted to she could" answered 18.
"I find it hard to believe that Selena would do that she was the single nicest lady you would ever want to meet" said Erasa.
"Well we can show you proof" said 18.
"How" asked Erasa.
"Vi will you" 18 said. Videl sighed and changed into her warrior form. Erasa was shocked the Videl who she looked to as an older sister just changed her hair turned white and grew longer, her eyes went from gray to blue, and she had her white aura around her, but when she looked at Erasa her eyes was just as soft as they always was when she looked at her.
"So everything you told me was real" said Erasa, Videl nodded "this is so cool, my sister can save the world from bad people" she then said with a bunch of excitement. Videl sweatdropped.
"Erasa are you ok" asked Videl.
"Vi-Vi this is wonderful i'm so happy for you, now you really are your mothers daughter" she said hugging Videl "oh also you now have no reason to be late for our shopping dates now that you can fly" said Erasa.
"What you mean your going to make me do even more shopping" said Videl.
"I don't see what the problem is Vi-Vi you could use a new wardrobe plus shopping with me ain't that bad" said Erasa.
"Hey if it makes you feel any better I'll even join you on your shopping dates" said 18.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this" Videl mumbled.
"Come on Vi-Vi it wont be that bad we can go the day after tomorrow" said Erasa.
"Sounds good to me, but what do we do until dinner" said 18.
"Well usually Videl helps me better myself defense she been teaching me for the last 2 years" said Erasa.
"Oh really show me what you got" said 18 while Videl just sat on her bed flicking through channels on the TV.
Videl then got a thought "hey 18 you think if I call Bulma she can have a dress in my size delivered before 11 in the morning" she asked.
"She should I mean she is only the single richest person in the universe she should be able to have anything done when she wants it done give her a call" said 18 while she started to spar with Erasa.
Videl picked up her cell phone and dialed Chi-Chi's number.
'Hello Son residence this is Gohan speaking.'
'Hey Gohan it Videl.'
'Hey Videl how are you doing now?'
"Good 18 helped me get through.'
'Thats good did you need something?'
'Yes is Bulma still there?'
'Hold on' a few seconds Bulma picked up the phone.
'Hey Videl whats up?'
'Bulma I wanted to ask if you could have a dress delivered to my house in my size by 11 tomorrow morning?'
'Sure why do you need a dress I thought you hated them?'
'Well my best friend Erasa her brother is getting married and she is making me wear a dress and I don't have one.'
'Oh a wedding dress what size dress do you wear?'
'Hold on' "Erasa so you know what size dress I wear?" she asked.
"How come you don't know what size dress you wear" asked 18.
"Because I never bought a dress anytime I needed one I always got one from Erasa"answered Videl.
"You need one in size 4 Vi-Vi" said Erasa.
"Ok thanks" 'Bulma I need one in size 4'
'Ok I'll have it delivered tonight'
'Thanks Bulma your a life saver'
'Chi-Chi said stop by when you get the chance'
'Ok I'll come over after the wedding'
'Ok bye'
'Bye. They both hung up the phone "she said it will be here tonight" said Videl.
"Cool I can't believe your friends with THE BULMA BRIEFS" said Erasa.
Then the door opened "hey sweet-pea how are you doing" asked her father.
"Father do you ever knock the door was closed for a reason" yelled Videl.
"My house I don't need to knock, who are you have we met before" he asked Videl.
"She is my friend and if you met her before why don't you remember her name" said Videl.
"I know where I met you at you was there when I defeated cell" he said.
"Um who are you" asked 18.
Hercule face vaulted "i'm the great Hercule the world champ" he stated rather loudly.
18 just blinked "why are you so loud we are in the same room" she said.
"Hey you look to old to be my sweat-peas friend" he said.
18 just shrugged "i'm her trainer if that makes you feel any better" she said.
"Oh a fellow fighter maybe we should go on a date" he said.
Videl and Erasa both turned green and looked like they would puke soon, 18 looked at him like he grew another head "your not my type" she said.
"What i'm everyones type" he said.
"Nope I don't like guys who neglect their kids, also if you suggest I should go on a date with you again I'll kill you" she said in a deadly voice.
"I don't neglect my daughter" he yelled.
"Oh really where was she all day" she asked.
He thought for a minute then turned and walked out. 18 turned and looked at Erasa and Videl then laughed, "I never seen humans turn that green before" she said.
2 Days Later Outside Satan City Mall
Videl was sitting in front of the mall waiting for Erasa and 18 to show up, she knew Erasa would show because she never missed a chance to shop and she knew 18 would show up because she still had her chopping card. So here she sat on a Saturday morning waiting to go shopping when she could be sleeping or beating up the guys who trained under her father or sleeping, but no the two blond pains who she thought of as sisters had to come shopping as soon as the mall opened.
As she sat on the bench see was looking at all the happy daughters walking and having fun with their mothers and it depressed her a little. She wished that her father had died and her mother had lived in her opinion her life would have been much better that way. She tried to get her mind off these thoughts but every which way she turned she saw a happy mother and daughter. Although her best friend Erasa mother treated her like a daughter sometimes that wasn't enough. So she got up and started to walk around and window shop until they came.
A few blocks away 18 and Erasa was walking up to the mall. Erasa was telling 18 about how hard Videl has had it since her mother died and how her father never really cared about her even when her mother was alive. She also told her how Videl always said her life would be better if her father was dead and her mother was alive and in more ways than one they both believed that would be true but knew it would never come to be. As they continued to walk and talk they heard the alarm of the bank a few blocks up. And begin to run to find out what was happening.
Videl was waking to the ice cream parlor when the bank alarm went off. She ran the block to the bank and saw that it was being robbed and the police was in a shootout with the gang that was robbing it. She looked around for a place to transform then saw an empty alleyway across the street from her. She ran across and down the alleyway until she found a dumpster that would hide her small frame from anyone who looked down the alleyway then she quickly transformed.
Once 18 and Erasa got there they saw the shootout that they was able to hear a few miles away and they both wondered where Videl was since when Erasa called she told her she was already waiting at the mall. Just as 18 was about to help the police Videl flew from the sky she was wearing her sports bra and a mini skirt she had bought as a gift for Erasa to give her new sister. When she landed everyone was shocked at seeing her. Most of the guys there was drooling at seeing her only in a sports bra and mini skirt, they was able to see her well shaped body and toned abs and arms, but she wasn't muscular. Most girls looked at her as if she was a tramp since she only wore a sports bra and a mini skirt that stopped at her thighs.
Videl tried her best to ignore the looks she got from the people and started to approach the part of the gang that was shooting at the police, "drop your fire arms and put your hands in the air" she said in a cold voice.
"Yea right what is a little tramp like you going to do to us" said one of them gang members. They then started to shoot at her. She disappeared shocking everyone again then appeared behind them and quickly disarmed each gang member and knocked them out. She carried the six people one by one over to the police. After she dropped the six in front of the police she then went into the bank and started to bring out gang members one by one.
Once she finished taking care of the gang members and they all was handcuffed and in the back of a squad car she was about to fly off when she was stopped by a reporter, "excuse me miss but can I ask you a few questions" asked the reporter.
Videl thought for a minute "sure but only a couple questions" she told the reporter.
"Ok first who are you?"
"I'm a warrior who just happened to be passing by when I saw what was going on and decided t o help."
"Ok do you have a name?"
"Selena."
"Will yo be here again?"
"I don't know that depends on my schedule."
"How are you able to fly?"
"I can't tell you that."
"So there is a chance that you will be back?"
"Yes there is but only if crime gets so bad that the local police can't handle all of it."
"Ok thank you."
"Bye" Videl then took off before anyone else could stop her.
18 and Erasa saw the entire thing that Videl did and they both was proud that she decided to use her powers to help people instead of just sitting back. They was standing in front of the mall when Videl walked out of the alleyway and ran up to them. "Hey what took you two so long" asked Videl.
"Sorry we just took the chance to get to know each other a little better" said 18.
"Whatever" said Videl.
"Hey Vi-Vi where did you get that mini skirt from I thought you hated wearing skirts" asked Erasa.
"I do and I brought it from that store around from my house, it was for you new sister but now I have to get her a new one since I had to wear it" said Videl.
"Oh you are so wearing more mini skirts Vi they look way to good on you not to" said 18.
"Yea it would be a crime if we let you go without showing off your sexy legs" said Erasa.
"Shut up Erasa and I don't want to wear a skirt" said Videl.
"To bad your getting some and you will wear them the only time you allowed not to wear them is when its cold outside" said 18.
"What you can't do that" said Videl.
"Yes I can as you official big sister I can veto anything you wear you have to wear what we say since we are the fashion savvy ones in this friendship" said 18.
"Yea and as you best friend and little sister you have to listen to my suggestions and since I agree with 18 you can't argue" said Erasa.
"I hate you two" Videl said.
"At least we are not making you wear belly shirts also" 18 and Erasa said at the same time.
"So Vi are you going to make it a habit of saving the day" asked 18.
"I don't know I know I should but eventually someone will figure it out if I consistently disappear and show up as my alter ego" she said.
"Wait you know Bulma right Vi-Vi" asked Erasa.
"Yea why" asked Videl.
"Why don't you ask her to make you a suit that you can change into when there is danger and you can put off the flying as part of the suit" said Erasa.
"Why don't you always act smart Erasa" asked Videl.
"Why should I if people think i'm just a dense blond then they will leave me alone unlike you who people know is the smartest girl at our school your always being asked to give other people help and stuff like that" said Erasa.
"So you act stupid so people can leave you alone" asked Videl.
"Yup" said Erasa.
"Only you would think of something like that" said Videl.
"Blonds get no credit" said 18.
"Hey blonds can't be smart and beautiful what does that leave for us girls with black hair" said Videl.
"Well technically you don't count Videl since you have 2 hair colors" said Erasa.
"Whatever lets get this shopping over so I can do something productive with my Saturdays" said Videl.
6 Hours Later
The 3 girls was finally walking out of the mall. Videl looked tired and pissed, 18 and Erasa looked pleased. They each had multiple bags in their arms, "I can't believe you two" said Videl.
"What did we do" asked 18.
"We was in there for 6 hours that what you did" yelled Videl.
"You act like you actually had better things to do" Said Erasa.
"Maybe I did" yelled Videl.
"Oh like what Vi" asked 18.
"Um I have to talk to Bulma" said Videl.
"Yea Vi-Vi that wont take that long and what would you have done the rest of the day" said Erasa.
"Probably sleep knowing her" said 18.
"Yea probably would have" said Erasa.
"Hey stop teaming up on me" said Videl.
"Why should we Vi its fun" said 18.
"Its no fair you two always agree on everything and vote against anything I like" said Videl.
"Hey us blonds have to stick together" said Erasa.
Videl just huffed out in frustration, turned her noise up at Erasa and 18 and walked away. Erasa and 18 laughed then ran to catch up with her. "Ok Vi we will do something you want" said 18.
They continued to walk to Videl's house to put their bags there since it was closer. Once they put their things away they walked around Satan city with nothing to do until Videl saw an ice cream parlor. They was almost in the store when they heard a group of people yell out they turned and saw the group running at them. They was trying to figure out what was going on.
"Whats going on" asked Videl.
"No clue" said Erasa.
The next thing any of them knows Videl was tackled in a big hug by the group. Erasa and 18 laughed at her unfortunate fate of having a Videl fan club. Videl herself was struggling under the group of ten kids all her age. "Will you two stop laughing and help me" she yelled at Erasa and 18.
"What did you do to have such a fate" asked 18.
"Being known as Videl Satan is all I did" she replied still trying to get up. Erasa and 18 just laughed more. "Will you people get off of me" she yelled.
"Videl will you go on a date with me" one of them yelled.
"Hell no now get off of me this minute or I will leave this city and never come back" she yelled. The kids all jumped off of her so she can get up.
