Gohan's Revenge
Chapter 6
![]() Babadi’s Ship, an hour later
Babadi was furious. This time he had watched as Yakon was killed so easily by this boy with enormous energy. Ever since he had sent Yakon, he had been pushing his scientists past their limits. He had them working non-stop on his resurrection machine and not one of them had been able to eat, sleep, or even relax for more than a minute before getting beaten by Dabura. Babadi watched as his head scientist approached him. "Before you even start, do know that unless you are going to tell me that my machine will be ready shortly, I will have Dabura turn you into a nice lawn gnome." "Master, it will only be a matter of time. We are very close to being done and I feel that we should have a result within the next couple of days." "Very well. I will hold you to that. You have one day. If in one more day you cannot show me any progress, you will be the next to try to steal this boy’s energy." replied Babadi.
Son House, two hours later
Videl woke up with a start as she felt Gohan jump out of bed. "Where you going Gohan?" "Crap! In my rush to get you to the park yesterday, I forgot to pick up my car! I’ll be right back so don’t worry. God I hope it’s still okay." Gohan replied "Don’t worry Gohan. I’m sure it will be fine but hurry up okay? I want to do something later together." "I’ll do my best Videl but don’t forget I have to go to work at 3:15." "Fine. Hey I will stop in when you get off and then we can at least fly home together." Videl said. "Hey don’t be disappointed. I am working so I can afford to buy you the things you deserve and to take you out every weekend. I knew that when I got my job at Best Buy that my free time would be reduced. But I do it because I want money to spend in the free time I do have." Gohan replied as he shot out the window.
Gohan flew along until he finally reached the capsule car. Amazingly, it was still in perfect order and no one had tried to mess with it. Once he put the car back in his capsule, he turned and got ready to take off. Just as he was about to he felt a strange ki approaching. ‘It sort of feels like Goten’s ki but this is tremendously stronger.’ Gohan thought to himself as a teenage boy landed in front of him. He sort of resembled Gohan as far as his facial features but his hair more resembled Goku. In other words, he looked exactly what Goten might look like when he became Gohan’s age. "Hi Gohan! Good to see you. Before you even start with the questions, allow me to explain a little bit. As you may have guessed, I am Goten. But not the Goten you know. I come from five years in the future. Bulma had just completed her time machine and she decided to send me back in time to talk to you. Gohan, my future is a very bad place. If time continues on its normal flow from now, in five days Videl will be killed by Cell right in front of your eyes. This will cause to go insane in my time and kill Cell again but this time you won’t just stop with him. You see, when Videl died you achieved yet another stage of supersaiyan. I think it would be Level 4. Once Cell was dead, you started tearing up everything in your path and after destroying an entire city, you will disappear and will not be able to be found been. Now you’re probably asking yourself why we didn’t just use the dragon balls to wish Videl back. The reason is that we couldn’t. The city that you destroyed just happened to have one of the dragon balls in it. Dende has been trying to think of a solution to this but has been unsuccessful so far. While all of this is bad enough itself, a terrifying new enemy named Majin Buu showed up about a year ago and has been terrorizing the Earth ever since. I came here to warn you about that and to maybe prevent Videl from being killed. You have any questions?" Gohan blinked in disbelief. ‘Why can’t people from the future ever bring good news?’ he asked himself as his mind raced.
Goten was flying as fast as he could to keep up with Gohan. After Goten had told him the story and they started moving again, Gohan had taken off and had been flying at top speed. It was as if he was afraid Videl wouldn’t be there when he arrived.
"Gohan you can slow down. Videl isn’t in any kind of danger for at least five more days."
"I don’t care Goten. I need to get to her NOW so we can hide her or something. I just don’t feel right being far from her when I know she will be in danger."
"So what do you plan on doing anyway? It’s not like we can protect her all the time. Once Cell comes back to life you will have to either leave her or take her to the fight with you. Either way, Cell will get her."
"I am going to take a leave of absence at work after today and I will take Videl and Vegita into the hyperbolic time chamber with me and train constantly until I reach the next level. If I am a supersaiyan level 4 when Cell comes, he will not be able to move fast enough to get Videl before I kill him." stated Gohan
"Not a bad idea. In fact, given the circumstance I would say it is the best course of actions." replied Goten as they landed in front of the Son home.
Gohan immediately rushed inside and found Videl. He wrapped his arms around her in a protective hug and brought her out to the living room. ’I am NOT going to lose her. I would rather die than to try to live life without Videl in it.’ He brought Videl over to the sofa and sat down with her, arms still wrapped tightly around her. He noted the strange looks that future Goten was getting from Videl and his mother.
"Mom, Videl, this is Goten five years from now and he has come bearing some bad news. Go ahead Goten. Explain to them what happens." Gohan watched the looks of shock and horror that Goten’s story brought from his mother and girlfriend. Once Goten was finished, Gohan explained what his solution was and then added "Will you go into the hyperbolic time chamber with me Videl? It is an awful place but I don’t feel safe having you out here by yourself. I wouldn’t be able to help you and I know for a fact that if you died, I would not be able to stay sane."
"Of course Gohan. It will be a great opportunity for me to get stronger. I want you to teach me that big energy attack you use so much. It could be useful."
"I will have to train you for awhile before you can do that but sure." Gohan looked at his watch. "Oh crap! It’s 2:30! I have to get ready for work! I wish I could just take off but the guys really need me considering it’s the Christmas season and I already have to take 2 weeks off." Gohan said as he ran to his room and grabbed his work shirt and name tag. As he ran by Chi-Chi he said "Bye mom. See you later." and then stopped at Videl. "Bye Videl. Be careful and I expect you to be there when I get off so I know you’re safe." he said as he leaned down and gave Videl a quick kiss before running outside and taking off. As he was flying, he threw his shirt on and sped up.
Best Buy, 2 hours later
Just as Gohan expected, it was hell at work. The second he got in the store and clocked in he was mauled by customers.
"Where are your PDA’s?"
"Can you help me find a computer?"
"Where is your bathroom?"
"Ok first off, PDA’s are under the big sign that says Wireless and PDA’s. Second off, give me just a moment and I will help you with that computer. Third, our bathroom is in the corner of audio." he stated in one breath as he worked his way over to the computer section. "Ok now sir, what will you be using this computer for?" Gohan than went on auto pilot as customer after customer approached him. After 2 hours of this, Gohan snuck into the paper isle and screamed in rage as he turned supersaiyan just for the relief it provided him. He walked back over and got funny looks from the guys he worked with.
"Didn’t you have black hair and eyes before?" He heard his supervisor ask.
"I will explain later." Gohan replied as more customers approached him.
After what seemed like an eternity, the rush of customers slowed down. Still in supersaiyan form, Gohan leaned against a shelf and looked as the other guys approached him.
"Okay we are slow now. How did you change your hair and eyes?" one of them asked.
"Well I am half Saiyan which is an powerful race of warriors. Right now I am in supersaiyan form. I only change like this when I am about to fight a powerful opponent or to burn off some anger. I got a little overwhelmed there and needed to burn some of my frustration off so I snuck into the paper isle and powered up. Anyway, what needs to get done? Videl is coming at close to fly home with me so I need to be done as soon as possible."
"Ummm okay. We need to get ten computers down to put on the shelf and have the same number of monitors that we need down." his supervisor said.
"Leave it to me. I will have it done in about 2 minutes." Gohan said as he blasted into the air and grabbed everything he needed and landed before anyone even noticed he had moved. He moved quickly to put everything in it’s place and was done in no time. He then noticed the astounded looks on the faces of his friends. "Problem guys?"
"How did you do that so quick? I just noticed you had gone when you were there again and everything was in his place."
"Another advantage of being half Saiyan is super speed and strength. This has nothing to do with what we were talking about but I need the next two weeks off."
"Why? We could really use you."
Gohan explained his situation and quickly got the approval of his boss. Just then, Gohan saw Videl enter his department and he ran over to her. Once he reached her, he gave her a deep kiss before grabbing her hand and bringing her to the group of guys.
"Can I go now? You guys shouldn’t have much left to do since I basically did all of the downstocking for you."
"Sure. Good luck. It will be a little hard without you here to help but you are going you be serving a much greater cause. And Videl, be careful. See you in two weeks Gohan."
"Bye guys." He said as both Videl and him ran out the door and took off hand in hand.
