Chapter 37
Secrets
The world had conflicting views about Gohan's announcement at the tournament. A minority decided to accept the truth however the majority still worshipped their false hero but that was to be expected.
Bulma had thrown a huge party to celebrate Gohan's victory. However the winner of the 25th Martial Arts Tournament wasn't at his best of moods. He was lost in thought about the pig tailed girl to whom he got so attached to. Kaiser and Brila tried their individual best to keep his mind on something else but he just couldn't forget her angelic face.
Kaiser hadn't forgotten about his promise to his brother from the future. He had promised him to go to the future with him for two days. He had convinced Chi-Chi to let Gohan come with them to the future and she agreed to that because she had learnt something very important. Listening to Kaiser would make Gohan either rich or happy.
A week had passed since the tournament had ended and Trunks's time machine had finally recharged and it was time to make their trip to the future. They had made all of the preparations required for their trip and the trio from this timeline was very excited.
Trunks hadn't asked his father to come along because he knew he wouldn't agree and he wouldn't show the same kind of affection to his wife in the future then the one in present time.
"Ready to guys?" Trunks asked as he began punching in the coordinates for the future.
"Ready." The three said in unison as they jumped inside the time machine.
"Alright then." He said as he punched in the final coordinates. "Goodbye. I hope to see you soon." He waved his family goodbye. Bulma and Trunks gave him a wave whereas Vegeta just gave him a nod.
"Take care you guys." Bulma said as she waved goodbye. "Take care of them Brila."
"I will." She said with a smile as the pod closed up. The machine lifted into the air as the noise of the engines filled the skies and within a few seconds, the machine vanished from sight.
They materialized above Capsule Corp. A much darker and broken Capsule Corp. The trio watched in disbelief as they could no longer see the blue skies or the lush green grass or even the busy traffic that would normally be there. Everything was destroyed and ruined.
"Welcome to the future." Trunks said half heartedly as the time machine set down on the garden of Capsule Corp. The glass pod opened for the Saiyans to jump out of the machine and land on the grass.
"This is all the androids' doing?" Kaiser asked with a tone of distaste.
"99% percent of it." Trunks replied as he led them to the house.
"What about the other 1%?" Gohan asked.
"Probably humans themselves." Brila answered.
"Exactly. They thought that this was Armageddon and decided to waste the planet even more." Trunks spat.
"You must be somewhere in the universe." Kaiser said as he turned his head to Brila.
"She should be but if she is here then Broly should be here too." Trunks argued. "That is the main reason I didn't go to look for you Brila. If I would've run in to you, I would've run into Broly as well and he would've killed me. That is a different story now. I reached Super Saiyan a few weeks before coming to your timeline and I thought I would go back first and then look for you." He concluded.
"We can help you find me." Brila chuckled trying to lighten the mood and it worked as Trunks's lips curled into a smile.
"In here." Trunks said as he opened the door. It opened with a sickening creak and it closed the same way.
"Trunks! Is that you?" A woman called from the kitchen.
"Yeah it's me." Trunks replied as he began walking towards the kitchen. The trio followed him nervously wondering how the blue haired genius looked like now. "I have got a surprise for you." He smiled.
"What is it?" Bulma asked as she stepped out of the kitchen with a cup of tea. She dropped the cup as soon as she set her eyes on Kaiser. Her eyes widened with tears forming in his eyes and she started trembling.
"I brought them here from the past." Said Trunks.
Bulma slowly walked up to her son from the past. It didn't really matter when he was from, he was there and that's all that mattered.
Kaiser studied her elderly features carefully and the first thing that her faced showed him was pain and loss. He began walking towards her with his trademark smile that she hadn't seen since such a long time. Tears started rolling down her cheeks and she started sobbing softly.
"Kaisy? Is that truly you?" She asked as she stopped in front of him. Kaiser looked back into her eyes and gave her a tight hug.
"Yeah. It's me." He said as he helped her release all the pain she had inside of her when he died.
After almost thirty minutes of crying, her sobs came to an end. She studied his face carefully because hadn't seen him since so long. She then noticed Gohan standing next to Trunks.
"Oh Gohan! I am sorry." She said apologetically. "I didn't even notice you."
"That's okay Bulma." Gohan replied coolly.
"It's good to see you again." She said as she gave him a hug.
"Great to see you too Bulma." He said as he hugged her back.
Trunks thought that it was about time that he introduced the last member of the past to his mother. "Mom. This is Brila she-"
"I know who she is." Bulma interrupted shocking everyone. She walked up to her and gave her a tight hug. "Oh Brila honey. I am so glad to see you. You have no idea how Kaiser reacted when you died."
"WHEN SHE DIED?!" Kaiser exclaimed.
"Mom…what are you talking about?" Trunks asked in disbelief.
"I thought the fighters from Earth never made contact with Broly!" Gohan gasped.
"B-Bulma what do you know that we don't?" Brila asked.
"I haven't been honest with you dear." She told Trunks. "Let's go to the lounge and I'll tell you everything."
The four Saiyans agreed and followed her to the lounge. Countless of things were going through Kaiser's mind but the number one thing was that Brila was already dead in this timeline but he hoped that his mother from this timeline could provide him with the answers he needed.
They sat down on the couch and the Saiyans waited for Bulma to start explaining. She took her time as she thought carefully about what to say and how to say it but she had finally made up her mind.
"Brila came to Earth just when you were born Trunks. She had killed both Broly and Paragas with the help of a warrior called Pikkon." She said surprising the four Saiyans.
"They had lured them into an asteroid field and since Saiyans can't breathe for too long in space, they died as they got hit by the asteroids but unfortunately, Pikkon died in the process but Brila managed to get away and she had heard rumors about Goku being from Earth and that brought her here."
"How did I die though?" Brila asked.
"I am getting there." She replied. "You did not have the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan when you came here but you were the reason Kaiser was able to transform. You helped Kaiser through his recovery and you fought alongside Gohan against the Androids. Kaiser later on joined the fight later on when he fully recovered but when…" Bulma stopped as she bit her lip. These memories were too dark for her to remember but she needed to tell them. "When Brila died, Kaiser transformed into a Super Saiyan and went on to confront the Androids alone but they broke his spirit and his body." She said as tears started to threaten to spill from her eyes. "Her death demoralized you and you almost gave up. It took you one year to recover physically and mentally. We didn't have any senzu beans left because of the amount of pollution that had spread across the planet."
"How come you didn't tell me any of this?" Trunks asked in disbelief.
"Your brother asked me not to." His mother replied.
"W-What?! Why?!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Because I wouldn't want you to suffer the loss of a loved one you didn't know." Kaiser spoke sternly.
"That's exactly what he said." Bulma said in awe.
"Have I ever told you about a place called, 'Hope'?" Kaiser asked.
"Y-Yes." Bulma frowned. Kaiser figured that Hope would be either destroyed or polluted.
"What happened to it?" He asked.
"No one knows." Trunks frowned. "Only you and Brila knew of its whereabouts." He added.
"How come I didn't know?" Gohan asked.
"I am sorry." Trunks said with a heavy heart. "I don't know." He remembered going there once with his brother of this timeline when he was just three or four years old.
"Don't worry about it." Kaiser said calmly. "I know where it is. I am going there."
"I am coming too." Brila said as she jumped to her feet.
"So am I." Gohan stated as he slowly got up to his feet.
"Are you coming Trunks?" Kaiser asked.
"No. I won't be able to bear the sight of that place." Trunks said as he laid back. "It's probably destroyed."
"Very well." Kaiser replied. "Grab on you two." He commanded and they did as they were told and within an instant, they vanished.
"How do you know that Hope has been destroyed?" Bulma asked her son.
"Because I fought the Androids near Hope and after they beat me to a bloody pulp, they destroyed the whole place." Trunks frowned. Bulma moved closer to him and gave him a comforting hug.
The trio materialized where Hope was supposed to be located but they saw something that didn't look like their favorite spot at all. The water was polluted and it was far from clear. The water was tainted and there was an ungodly smell coming from it. The platform in the center of the lake was crushed and it was in pieces.
"Look at this place." Gohan said in disgust. "I am glad those monsters are dead."
"Kaiser, are you okay?" Brila asked the Saiyan in despair.
"I am fine." He sighed.
"I should have a talk with Videl of this timeline. I wonder if she knew the me of this timeline." Gohan said trying to lighten the mood. Little did he know that he made it worst.
"It matters not." Kaiser said sternly.
"What do you mean?" Gohan asked as heart began beating faster.
"She's dead. The androids got her Gohan." Kaiser said hoping that Gohan wouldn't flip.
Gohan's eyes widened at this revelation. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. His rage was swelling because just the thought of losing her was unbearable. Even if she wasn't from his timeline.
"Calm yourself Gohan." Kaiser said as he put his hand on his best friend's shoulder. "I know this is difficult for you but you can't let this get to your head."
Gohan took a deep breath and gave his best friend a nod. "You're right."
"Of course I am." Kaiser chuckled.
"Can we go back now?" Brila said as she latched onto Kaiser's arm. "This place isn't settling in too well with me. Not the way it's now at least."
"Right. Let's go back." Kaiser said as he put two fingers on his forehead. "Grab on. Let's get out of here." The two did as they were told and grabbed onto him and they were teleported away instantly.
They materialized into the lounge where the Briefs son and mother sat drinking tea. "How did it go?" Trunks asked uneasily.
"You were right Trunks." Brila frowned. "It was…"
"Not how it used to be." Kaiser continued.
"That was to be expected." The blue haired genius spoke. "Gohan, you should go meet your mother." Bulma suggested.
"She's still alive?" Gohan gasped.
"Yes. Go Gohan. It'll make her last days better." Bulma frowned.
"I'll go tomorrow just before we leave." He replied.
"Whatever suits you best." The blue haired genius spoke caringly. "I bet you guys are hungry. Let me go make something." She said with a smile.
"Where's my room?" Kaiser asked wanting to start a new topic. "I mean, is it the same one?"
"Yeah, it's the same one." Trunks said coolly.
"So…" Gohan said as he formed an energy ball in his hands. "You guys up for a spar?"
"We don't have any senzu beans Gohan." Trunks replied.
"We can still fight as Super Saiyans. We won't get hurt too badly." Brila suggested.
"Good idea." Trunks said in delight.
"Well then let's get to it. First let's find a barren wasteland." Kaiser chuckled.
"That won't be too hard." Trunks chuckled.
The next day…
"The time machine will be ready in 30 minutes. You best go now." Trunks suggested. Gohan nodded and signaled Kaiser for some teleportation help. Kaiser merely nodded and put two fingers on his forehead.
"You coming Bri?" Kaiser asked.
"Nope, I think I'll have a chat with Bulma." She said as she went into the blue haired genius's lab.
"Very well. Ready G?" Kaiser asked. Gohan gave him a nod and then right on cue, the two vanished from sight.
They materialized at the 439 East District mountain areas and that place was probably the only place on Earth that had been untouched by the Androids. For the first time since their visit, Gohan and Kaiser were able to breathe in fresh air.
"You ready Gohan?" Kaiser asked.
"I am not too sure Kaiser." Gohan said as a bead of sweat made its way down his forehead. "What am I supposed to say to her?"
"You'll know what to say once you go inside." Kaiser said reassuringly.
"Ya think she'll still recognize me?" Gohan joked.
"The most stuck up mother in all timelines won't remember her child? Please." Kaiser chuckled.
"I guess you're right. Will you come in?"
"I don't think so. This is something you should do alone. My presence will only hinder your little bonding session."
"Right. Wish me luck."
"Good luck G."
Gohan gave his friend a nod and he then opened the door and walked inside. Everything was the same as it was in his own timeline. There were pictures of him but only much older. He studied the scar he had on his eye and he certainly hoped that he wouldn't get one like that. Just then he felt someone in the room with him. He turned around to see an elderly lady with weak grey hair. She had a very wrinkly face and he could tell that most of them were because of tension and lack of sleep. She stared at the demi Saiyan with wide tear filled eyes. She covered her mouth with her hands and slowly walked towards him. Only then did he realize that he was looking at his elderly mother.
"G-Gohan?" Chi-Chi gasped. "I-Is that r-really you?"
"I am from the past mom." He replied sternly.
"MY BABY!" She shrieked as she hugged him as tightly as she could. She broke down in tears and kept repeating those same words over and over again for 20 minutes.
"Mom. Listen to me." Gohan spoke commanding her attention. "I have only come here for a short visit and I must go now."
"You're leaving me again?" She asked in disbelief.
"I have to get back to my own timeline mom but don't forget the fact that I love you and the me of this timeline loves you just as much." Gohan said as he took her hands. "I am sorry it has to end this way but it will get better. Everything will be fine."
"I have missed you so much Gohan. My heart barely survived the time you died." Chi-Chi whimpered.
"I know mom but I love you okay."
"I love you too Gohan. Who else came with you from the past?"
"Just Kaiser and Brila."
"Give them my best."
"I will. I must go now." He said as he got up from the couch.
"Okay Gohan. Please take care of yourself and listen to your mother from your timeline and make sure you give Videl my best." She said with a smile.
"Videl? Did I know her?" Gohan gasped.
"More than you do now I presume."
"Thanks mom. I love you." He said as he kissed her cheek and began walking out of the door.
"Now I can die peacefully." She whispered under her breath but it was loud enough for her son to hear. His heart dropped to his stomach when he heard those words and judging by her ki signature, she didn't have too long left.
He closed the door behind him and saw Kaiser ready with his fingers on his forehead. "It's for the best Gohan. She has nothing left in this world. Even my mother does not have much time left." He comforted.
"Thanks K." The demi Saiyan thanked as he put his hand on his shoulder.
At Capsule Corp…
"So he knew Videl huh?" Brila asked.
"Yeah, he loved her more than life itself. I believe that they have already met." Bulma said as she took a sip from her tea cup.
"Yeah but they didn't meet as Gohan and Videl, they met as Kakarot and Videl." She chuckled at the sight of her confused face. "We had to use aliases for a tournament we had to participate in."
"How come I didn't know any of this?" Trunks groaned.
"Because Gohan didn't like talking about her freely. They just brought back so many bad memories, according to him that is." Bulma explained.
"We're back." The two best friends in unison.
"Are you three ready to go?" Trunks asked. "I have already set the coordinates."
"You're not coming?" Brila asked.
"Nope, I have to stay here and heal the world." Trunks chuckled.
"Ready to go you three?" Bulma asked and she was met by three nods.
"Bulma. I have a request." The demi Saiyan said.
"What is it honey?"
"My mom does not have much time left. Please send Trunks sometime next week to check on her." He frowned.
"Will do." She replied sincerely.
"Now since that's out of the way, we must go." Kaiser said as he and the fighters from the past began making their way to the time machine.
The trio jumped in and set their luggage down. "It was good seeing you guys. Next time we meet, the world will be brighter." Kaiser smiled.
"Take care guys." The mother and son said in unison. The trio waved them goodbye as Kaiser pressed the ignition button that closed the pod and lifted the time machine into the sky and within an instant, it vanished.
A few months later…
Gohan's birthday was just a few days away and Kaiser and Brila wondered what to get him. They had all the money in the world to get him anything what he would want but they didn't really know what to get him. They just weren't too sure what he needed. They were brainstorming in the living room as they tried to outdo each other in chess.
"Any ideas yet?" Brila asked as she thought about her next move.
"A car?" Kaiser said bluntly.
"He'll be turning 15 and where will he drive a car anyway?" Brila asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"Good point. What about a plane? He'll need the sky for that and there's plenty of sky here." Kaiser chuckled.
"He would rather fly." Brila snapped back.
"Why don't you give me some ideas?" Kaiser snapped at her.
Brila thought long and hard about her idea but nothing sensible came into her head. "A motorbike?" Brila said uneasily.
Kaiser looked at her with a poker face but then he took a huge sigh. "What does he want?" Kaiser said under his breath.
"The right question is; what does he need." Vegeta grunted as he passed by.
Kaiser and Brila spent a couple of seconds to process that question and then they finally started wondering; what did he really need?
"I GOT IT!" Kaiser exclaimed.
"Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Brila asked excitedly.
"If you're thinking the biggest buffet ever then yes!"
"You're joking right?"
Kaiser burst out in laughter as he clutched his hands onto his stomach. "I am joking. I know what to do." He said as he transformed into a Super Saiyan. "Let's go." He said as he latched onto Brila's tail with his own. She smiled at him and transformed and within an instant, the two vanished.
A few days later…
Gohan's birthday was moving along smoothly and he had already blown out the candles but he also accidently blew the cake away at an already pissed off Vegeta. He made a lot of noise but Kaiser and Bulma managed to calm him down…somewhat.
The demi Saiyan had put all of his presents into his room with the help of his two best friends. He thanked them and they began walking back downstairs.
"You know, you two are the worst best friends ever." He chuckled.
"Why might that be Gohan?" Brila giggled.
"Is it because we didn't get you anything?" Kaiser smirked.
"That's exactly why." He said as he turned to face them.
"Oh don't worry Gohan. We got you something." She giggled.
"What did you get me?" Gohan asked excitedly.
"It's something so awesome that you'll thank us for days!" Brila exclaimed.
"I told you guys not get me anything expensive." The demi Saiyan groaned.
"Don't worry about that." Kaiser said with a smile. "We got you something money can't buy."
"Really?"
"Yup." Brila said as she leaned on Kaiser's arm.
"What is it?"
"Grab on and find out." Kaiser said as he put two fingers on his forehead. Gohan nodded and put his hand on his best friend's shoulder. Brila latched onto his tail with her own and the trio vanished from sight.
They appeared in a dark alley in an unknown city, unknown to the demi Saiyan at least. Kaiser and Brila looked around to check whether or not they were at the right place or not and after a few moments they gave each other a smile as they transformed into their Super Saiyan forms.
"Transform." Kaiser commanded.
"What? Why?" The demi Saiyan asked.
"Just do it." Brila reinforced the primary order. Gohan nodded hesitantly and transformed into his Super Saiyan form.
"Now wait here." Kaiser commanded.
Gohan was going to question him about his command but Brila caught him by his shoulder. "Trust us. Wait here." She said as she walked off with Kaiser.
Gohan watched the two disappear into another alley and he decided to lean on the building. "My birthday. Who gives people orders on their own birthdays?" He murmured. "Oh I know! The prince and his girlfriend." He said hysterically. "What did they get me anyway? What can you possibly get from dark alleys?" He asked himself. "I hope they didn't get me any drugs."
"K-Kakarot?" An angelic voice spoke from behind. Gohan knew this voice too much and he prayed to Dende that the voice belonged to her. He slowly turned around to see the love of his life. He saw the pig tailed girl that he met and kissed at the tournament.
"V-Videl?" He gasped. "VIDEL!" He exclaimed as he ran up to her and squeezed her with love.
"Oh Kakarot! I thought I'd never see you again." She sobbed as she hugged him as tightly as she could.
"I am here Videl. I am here." He said as he planted a passionate kiss on her lips. Videl returned the kiss by pushing back at his lips.
"How did you get here?" Gohan asked as he moved his lips away from her.
"Bardock and Lila came to my house a few days ago and asked me to come here to meet you! As a birthday present of course." She said as she gave him another kiss.
"Didn't your father say anything?" Gohan asked.
"What could he say? And besides, they managed to meet me alone." Videl replied.
"They were right; I will be thanking them for ages for this birthday present." He said as he gave her another kiss. "This is the best birthday present I could ever get."
"This is the best birthday present I could ever give." Videl replied as she felt like holding onto him forever.
Kaiser and Brila stood on the building next to the alley keeping an eye out for intruders but fortunately, there were none. They watched the two with a smile and chuckled at their dialogues.
"When will they see each other again?" Brila asked as it hurt her heart for the two lovers to be separated yet again.
"Next year. They will meet one year from now." Kaiser said with a hint of hurt in his tone. "It sucks to do this but we have no choice."
Brila heard the tone of hurt in his tone and decided to comfort him. She put her arms around his neck and gave him a comforting kiss. He returned the kiss as he put his arms around her waist and with that; all four lovers were in each other's arms, enjoying the peace and love.
2 and a half years later…
Time had passed and the times of peace did well on Earth's Special Forces. They got time for everything such as training, family and even their own social lives. Gohan had met Videl on each of his birthdays and the two got closer and closer every time and they were tempted to meet each other more and more.
Once, Gohan tried to meet Videl without anyone knowing but luckily for him, Kaiser was in Satan City that day and he stopped him before the demi Saiyan would do something he could regret. Gohan thanked him after not talking to Kaiser for almost a week. At first he was infuriated because he thought that how could one keep another away from his lover but after a few words from Brila, Gohan realized the magnitude of his mistake. He asked for forgiveness from the prince but Kaiser told him to forget about it and they made up after a huge a buffet.
Today the trio was lying on the lush green grass of The East District 439 staring at the clouds. They were all much taller now and a little more bulky. Kaiser hadn't changed a bit. His hair was still the same but one could argue that his face looked sterner for someone who just turned 18. Brila looked more of woman now even though she was still 17. Her face looked more angelic than ever but her hair had been unchanged, she was a full blooded Saiyan after all. The only one who looked a little different was Gohan. Kaiser and Brila had requested him not to change his hair style and thanks to them, he didn't and it suited him. He had the same hair style that he had during the Cell Games and whenever they would go to the city for some fun, all the girls would squeal at the sight of him.
"Mom has been trying to find a high school for me." Gohan spoke in his mature tone.
"Is that so G?" Kaiser spoke in a deeper voice.
"Where do you want to go?" Brila asked in a more woman like voice.
"I am not too sure. It doesn't really matter." Gohan replied in a bored tone.
"It'll be more fun if we go with you." Kaiser said with an amused look on his face.
"It does sound like fun." Brila added.
"You guys would really do that?" Gohan asked.
"Of course." Brila said as she nudged the demi Saiyan on his arm with her elbow.
Just then, Kaiser received a text message on his phone. He took his phone out of his pocket and opened the message.
"Who's it from?" Brila asked unenthusiastically.
"It's just a Capsule Corp. news message." Kaiser replied.
"What does it say?" Gohan asked.
"Oh nothing special." He said under his breath as he scrolled through the extremely long message. When he reached the last part of the message, he read something that fancied his interests. It was an advertisement about one of Earth's best high schools and they had a picture of their prefect on it too. In the picture he saw someone whom he knew quite well. "I think I know where we should go for high school."
"Where?" Brila asked.
"Is it somewhere near my house?" Gohan chuckled.
"Not quite." Kaiser replied. "We're going to Orange Star High School."

HollyKalinaStabler: Thank you very much for your review.
Vegetrunks: Thank you. I for one, am not much of a Goku fan so I don't mind him getting beaten up. People make a big deal about Broly but he isn't nearly as strong as a Super Saiyan 2. I am really glad you liked it.
LycosTamer: Forgive me Teacon. Please don't strangle me. You'll see. You'll be making an appearance soon.
ProManic: Thank you for such an ecstatic review. I really appreciate it. Buu saga will start in the next chapter and the real fun will begin. There will be plenty of GohanxVidel and KaiserxBrila. Thank you once again and I am really glad that you like this story so much and if you're a Naruto fan, you should read my Naruto fic too. I thought that the Dragon Fist would be a good idea. It would make things more epic. No, he will not be learning the Instant Transmission as of yet. I have no such intention but that might change. Don't apologize. The longer the review, the better.
Kakun: Sorry about that but thank you.
