Gohan pushed open the door to the medical room and walked in slowly still clutching his wrist and moaning about the pain he was in. Videl promptly followed behind and began to study the room they were in, their were ten beds in total, five on either side of the room, all in neat rows. The medical equipment though out the room was the newest and most advance on the market from X-ray machines to heart monitors just about everything you would need to run your own private hospital.
"Wow why dose Bulma have such an advance medical room Gohan?" Videl ask curiously.
Gohan stopped rummaging though one of the many draws in the room and turned to face his crime fighting friend.
"Well you see it's because sometimes when coming up with new inventions and creating new products. The workers here use and come in contact with volatile materials that could explode or poison them if their not careful, so Bulma wanted to have such an advance medical bay, so she could get her staff medical attention as quickly as possible and to keep them in a stable condition until an ambulance can arrive" Gohan said plainly. And to have a place where we can go to recover after fights with deadly enemies without causing suspicion.
Turning back to the draw, Gohan began to rummage again leaving Videl to explore her surroundings. The young crime fighter studied the art work that was displayed across the room with one particular drawing catching her eye. The drawing was of a dragon with a long curled body encircled by seven balls, each with a different number of stars on them from one to seven. In between the seven balls was tiny writing that Videl had to squint to see.
Around the world these seven balls hide, lying in wait for you to find, once gathered place them on the floor, and call forth the eternal dragon Shenron, from his place of rest he rises , to grant one wish of your desires, once all is done the balls will fly, turned to stone they once again hide, to be found in one years time. Videl was stunned by what she had read and didn't quite understand what she was reading.
"Errm Gohan what is this picture on about?" Videl asked her gaze still fixed on the drawing in front of her, within a few moments Gohan was beside her, his wrist tightly wrapped in a bandage.
"It's about the legend of the dragon balls, you know what that is don't you?" Videl merely shock her head in response much to Gohan's surprise. "really wow I thought everyone knew the legend of the dragon balls. I was told at such a young age, I'm really quite surprised you don't know"
"Well can't you tell me it then" Videl snapped back, Gohan nodded before he spoke up.
"Ok I will but first lets get you cleaned up a bit and tend to your wounds, then I will tell you what I know of the legend"
Videl complied allowing Gohan to help clean the dried blood of her face, before applying a gel like substance to the areas that where causing discomfort. Though it took a lot of convincing on Gohans part, Videl was glad she had listened as her pain quickly subsided. Taking a seat on a bed the crime fighter waited patiently for Gohan to take a seat opposite her. The Demi-Sayian took a moment to scratch at his cut wrist before beginning.
"Long ago the Kami of earth pulled on a hooded clock to explore his planet to see what needed fixing and what could be left alone, on his journey Kami saw many disturbing things. Man kind was on it's knees, starvation and thirst was a virus upon the land with very few having the means to survive. Returning to his sanctuary Kami spent many day's in his study coming up with a way to ease man's pain, after seven long days the god came up with a solution. Calling forth his magical genie servant, Kami sent forth the task to retrieve the egg of a dragon, after two days the genie returned from his task. After several months of care and neutering the egg finally hatch bring the dragon babe to the world, Kami named the dragon Shenron and bestowed upon the babe great wisdom and the power to grant any wish before sending the dragon out to the world of man. But man's greed corrupted the young Shenron turning the young dragons pure heart to one of evil. Realising that man should not be given the power to have their wishes come true unconditionally and the threat that Shenron may turn evil and destroy the world he was meant to help, Kami decided to lock the dragon away into seven balls. Each ball went on to represent the seven deadly sin's locking away man's and the dragon's evil intentions and scattered across the world. Man can forth in rage, annoyed that the dragon granting their wish's was locked away. Hearing their cries Kami appeared before them with a compromise, if man could gather up the seven magic balls used to seal Shenron then they would be deemed worthy to call forth the dragon and have one wish granted. Kami decided to make the task at hand harder to keep the corruption of Shenron to a minimum, once a wish had been granted the seven balls would turn to stone before scattering around the world again, not turning back till one year had passed. This is the challenge Kami has set, the challenge of the Dragonball's" Gohan took a deep breath after he finished slightly tired from preaching the old legend, parts of it where true, but a lot was what Mr Popo had made up when telling the world about the dragon balls so people could use them.
Videl sat opposite him with wide eyes, wow I can't believe I never heard that legend before, it sounds like something that would be past down from generation to generation. A question formed in the young crime fighters head buzzing around in her mind desperate for an answer.
"You don't believe in that old legend do you Gohan?" Videl ask curiously, Gohan merely looked at her contemplating his answer. Well I can tell her truth that I believe in the dradonball's and their power but I can leave out the parts about actually seeing Shenron.
"Well yes I do actually Videl, I think I am one of the select few that do the actual name for people like me that believe in the legend and search for the balls are called Dragonball hunters" Gohan finished with a chuckle dragon ball hunters is what Goten and Trunks came up with and Gohan had to admit it sounded cool.
"Really ? You believe in that stuff? I'm sorry Gohan but you don't come across as someone that believes in myths and legends I thought you were someone that dealt more in facts and evidence"
"Well I don't believe in all of them, but you find a lot of legends are based on true stories that just got diluted and change into something a lot bigger." Gohan replied with a genuine smile, it was nice to share stories like these and discuss them with his friend without giving to much away.
"But how could you possible know it's true? I'm sorry but without evidence I can't believe it"
Gohan looked at Videl in the eyes, before considering what to do next he had trusted to tell her this much why not let her into more.
"Can you keep a secret Videl?"
"Yeah of course"
"Promise"
"I swear on my fathers life"
Satisfied Gohan took from his pocket an object wrapped up in a cloth, Videl watch as Gohan slowly unwrapped the cloth from the object revealing an orange ball with four stars on it. Videl let out a gasp.
"Is that … is that a Dragon ball ?" Videls whispered excitement shacking her voice.
"Yes it is" Gohan had a massive beam on his face, smiling at the expression on Videls face.
"Can .. Can I hole it"
"Sure"
Carefully Gohan placed the ball into Videls outstretched hands. The young fighter sat their a look of awe on her face as she felt the ball in her hands, another question buzzing in her head.
"Where did you get this from ?" She whispered her eyes never leaving the ball.
"It's been handed down though out my family, it started with my great grandfather Gohan who gave the dragon ball to my dad who then gave the dragon ball to me"
Videl carefully gave the ball back to Gohan, who wrapped it back up in it's cloth and placed it back into his pocket.
"We better get back to Bulma and the others over wise they will be wondering where we are" Gohan spoke after several long moments, this seemed to break Videl out of her trance as she stood up and followed Gohan out of the room.
They meet Bulma and the others in a hallway half an hour later, with Bulma right in the middle of talking the scientist immediately stopped talking when she caught sight of Videl and Gohan returning to the group.
"Aww you two have made it back just in time, I was just about to tell everyone that I am giving you all tomorrow off to do whatever you want with. I think it's for the best as a lot of you won't be focused after what happened to that poor girl Angela" Bulma's words where meet with load cheers from the students who where considerable more cheerful after what they had been shown by the scientist. Bulma waved her hand for quite "It's really no problem, after all you have been though you deserve a nice break" The scientist chuckled before turning her gaze to Gohan. "I've just finished showing the class the kitchen, the recreational room and the lab I'm sure you can show your friend here (Indicating Videl) the areas later on"
"Yeah of course Bulma"
"Brilliant right now I'm pretty sure you were all put into groups of five before we came here so if you could get into them now I will show you were you will be staying while you're here with us"
The class complied everyone hurried along to get into their reprehensive groups, Videl and Gohan quickly found the others. Eresa squealed once she saw her best friend completely fine and pulled Videl into a big hug.
"Oh I'm so glad your ok Videl you looked really hurt" As she spoke Eresa tightened her grip.
"I'm fine, but if you keep holding me tight like this you might strangle me to death" Videl chuckled.
Eresa quickly released her friend as Sharpener and Lime approached Gohan.
"So how the wrist?"
"Fine thank you Sharpener, have you guys had fun while we've been away?"
"Yeah we have it's been brilliant, I can't believe how many time's we have came here we never seen the recreational room, Gohan I'm ashamed of you" Lime jokingly pouted at the Demi-Sayian.
This however remained Videl of another question she had intended to ask Gohan but had forgot due to being distracted by the dragon balls.
"Talking of which I've been meaning to ask you how do you know the Brief's ?"
Gohan began to answer before Bulma interrupted, stating that they were going to see where the students would be staying now. So the Demi-Sayian quickly said he would explain later and lead the group as the followed Bulma down many winding corridors and out back to a large field. The students let out a gasp at what they could see.
Scattered across the Field was ten top of the range Capsule houses, the class began murmuring excited whispers about where exactly they will be staying.
"The family dome is just over their" Bulma pointed to a large dome shape house to the left of the students. "Any problems just feel free to come round anytime, though just watch out for my son Trunk and my husband Vegeta" The scientist chuckled before pulling a Capsule out of her pocket and De-capsule it revealing a boxes full of card keys, the scientist took a couple and began to pass them to the students. " These cards will give you guest access privileges so you can enter the recreational room the kitchen ect, without me being their it will also stop the guards attacking you, so I would keep the cards on you at all times" Bulma waited patiently until she saw all of the students had a card key. "Right I will show you all what house you will be staying in.
The student followed Bulma to the houses scattered around the field with five members of the group leaving into a house at each house they got to all holding a number key in their hand's, this happened until Gohan and his friends where the last group standing with Bulma, Videl was the first to realise something was up.
"Wait Mrs Briefs I've just realised their no more houses left for us lot"
The group looked at each other with concern in their eyes, will we have to sleep out on the field tonight? Bulma turned round to the group and began to laugh.
"Please call me Bulma, Mrs Briefs is too formal and it makes me feel old. Also don't worry your stating with me in the family dome"
"Really?" Eresa eyes were glistening with excitement.
Bulma nodded.
"Yeah of course, your all friend's with Gohan you wouldn't think I would let my favourite God son and his friends sleep in them old things, oh no you guys are only getting the best from me"
Bulma then began to walk to the house with the other's in tow, Gohan quickly rushed to her side and began to whisper in her ear.
"You really didn't have to do this Bulma this is to much, I would have been perfectly happy in one of those houses"
"I know you would have been kid, but can't a god mother spoil her god son every once in a while, your so good you deserve a little special treatment once in a while"
Gohan didn't know how to reply to that so he just smiled and said thanks.
"No problem, just remember that I'm the best" Bulma chuckled.
Meanwhile at the outskirts of Satan city the coach that had taken the OSH student's to Capsule Corp pulled outside an old factory, the driver slowly got out of his vehicle sweat pouring from his body. The man walked into the dark and coolness of the factory.
"Did you do what I asked" The hoarse voice asked from the shadows,
The driver reached into his pocket and pulled out a vial full of red liquid before tossing it into the darkness, a white hand came into the light and caught the Vial before it fell to the floor.
"I also found out that the boy is indeed the Son of the famous Son Goku" The driver bowed as he said this trying to hide his visble shaking.
"You have done well Jewels, very well in deed however I am sick of seeing you in that primitive form please return to your true form" The voice from the darkness hissed a fork tongue flicking into the light.
Jewels complied her manly features where replaced by a slim feminine one her ears grew long and pointy, her skin turning from white to a light sea blue.
"Yes you are in deed beautiful" The harsh voiced cooed from the shadows.
"Thank you very much Dar….."
The clocked figure flew from the shadows, quickly pinning Jewels against the wall by her throat before she could utter his name. Jewels could see the red eyes of her master glowing brightly from the darkness of the hood that covered his face.
"What did I tell you" The cloaked figure hissed, his fork tongue flicking threaten to pierce Jewels skin. "Never say my name out load in this realm you never know who could be listening, if you must call me something call me Master or sir" The figure released his grip before returning to the shadows leaving Jewels panting on the ground trying to regain her breath.
"I am sorry Marster it will never happen again"
"It better not, your lucky I am so forgiven Jewels it must be your female charms" The fork tongue flickered into view again causing Jewels skin to crawl. "I have another mission for you, you are to breach into the Capsule Corp security and turn their guards against the Briefs family and monitor how they do against the boy and report back to me"
"And what will you be doing sir" Jewels asked her curiosity getting the better of her. The figure hissed before replying obviously annoyed at being questioned.
"It is none of your business, however since you have done such a good job with your mission I shall reward you by answering your question. I am going to analysis the boys blood you retrieved for me to see just how much potential energy he really has, while I am doing this I will also continue to hunt down and absorbed energy so I'll have enough power to subdue the boy when we meet in battle. Dose that meet your approval?" The cloaked figure hissed sarcasms laced the voice.
Jewels merely nodded before standing up and leaving the factory.
Well what do you guys think about that then :o) So Jewels was the one that cut Gohan's wrist and what dose this mysterious figure want with Gohan? What is he planning and where did he come from, find out this and more on the next chapters of Gohan's field trip from hell.
So tell me what you think :o) please review
