Gohan's Revenge
Chapter 8
    

   Once Gohan and Videl had made it outside, they saw Vegita approaching them. ::I wonder why Vegita decided to wait for us?:: Gohan "said" to Videl as he wrapped his tail around her waist. Videl giggled slightly as she replied :: I think we are about to find out whether we like it or not in a few seconds. And stop moving your tail so much. It tickles.:: Gohan then started purposely tickling Videl and laughed as she playfully punched him in the arm. Vegita then came to a stop in front of Gohan.

"Are you two finished yet with your sickening display? Good. Not that I care, but what were you two doing in there? You weren’t in there long enough to be training her and you were gone for about two minutes here which had to be at least an hour in there." He then spotted the bite marks on Gohan’s shoulder as he moved slightly. "You didn’t! Are you stupid? You do realize that if she dies now you will too?

"What do you mean Vegita?" Gohan asked with concern in his voice.

"When Saiyans bond, the mate’s lifespan is shared. If either one of them die, the other will too unless they find a way to still see their mate quickly. While this is a major advantage for us saiyans that mate with humans since their life spans are so short when compared to ours, it is a major disadvantage too."

"But what about my mom? Dad died seven years ago and she is still alive." Gohan asked.

"Your mother has been speaking to Goku telepathically through King Kai since the day you told her that he died. While she isn’t actually seeing Kakarot, it is apparently enough to keep her alive."

"Well I don’t care. If Videl dies, I would rather die myself then have to live the rest of my life without her." Gohan stated as he wrapped his arms around her.

"And what about the rest of us brat? From what Goten has been telling us, it sounds like Cell was beating you when you were in supersaiyan level three. None of us are that powerful besides you."

"Well she won’t die. I won’t let Cell kill her."

"Fine. But if she does die and Cell destroys the universe, I will bust my way out of hell to come and kick your ass." Vegita said as he took off.

Videl looked at Gohan thoughtfully. ::Did you mean what you said back there about wanting to die than to live without me?:: ::Every word of it. It would be hell if I had to live out the rest of my life in loneliness. I would never be able to get over you.:: She then wrapped her arms around him and enjoyed just being close to him. ::I guess I better be extra careful than. I don’t want to be the cause of the destruction of the entire universe.:: She "said" as Gohan picked her up and took off. She snuggled into him as much as she could as he flew in the direction of his house.
    
    Once they landed, Gohan and Videl found themselves greeted by Goten, Future Goten, Chi-Chi, and Bulma. "Hi you two. How was the training? Did you reach another level?"

"Yeah mom I did. Do you want to see it?" Gohan asked with a grin on his face.

"No son. It’s bad enough that I have to live with the knowledge that my babies are monsters. I don’t want to be reminded of it anymore than I have to be. So Videl, did Gohan teach you how to use energy blasts?"

"Yeah it is great! He even taught me this really big one called a kamehameha. Although mine are not nearly as strong as his, I am happy I could do them."

::Should we tell Chi-Chi about our bonding and you proposing to me?:: Videl "asked" Gohan.

::Not yet. If we do, she will want us to get married right away and we wouldn’t be able to wait.::

"So Goten #2, I bet if you go find Vegita, you can convince him to train with you in the hyperbolic time chamber. That way, when you go back to your own time you can kill this Majin Buu there and have peace once again." Ever since the Future Goten had shown up, Gohan had called little Goten Goten #1 and big Goten Goten #2 to avoid confusion between the two.

"That’s a great idea! I’ll see you guys in a day!" Goten screamed as he took off at top speed.

"You know it’s disappointing to find out that Goten doesn’t calm down with age" Gohan stated as he stared at the departing Goten.

"You got that right." Chi-Chi said with a sigh.

"Well I think I am going to go watch some TV." Gohan said as he walked inside.

"I’ll join you" replied Videl as she hurried to catch up to him. Once inside, Videl found Gohan laying on the couch. She walked over to him and laid down with him and as she did she felt Gohan’s arms encircle her waist. They were watching some action movie when all of a sudden the anchorman of the news program flashed on the screen.

"Sorry for the interruption but we have just received some footage from an individual that goes only by Dende of the Cell games. That’s right folks! You will only see it here on ZTV." The announcer faded and with that Cell appeared on the screen. Across from him was Goku. Gohan gasped at the sight of his father. "I give up!" He heard his father say. ’Oh no not this. I am going to have to get Dende for this...’ Gohan thought as he heard Cell threaten to destroy the Earth. "I give up but there is still one person left to fight." "Who? Vegita? Trunks? Don’t make me laugh." Gohan absent-mindedly listened to the rest until he heard his father name Gohan to fight Cell. ’Man now everyone knows what happened and soon will know I beat Cell.’ He watched himself get smacked around awhile and then saw the mini-Cells appear and begin beating up his friends. He watched Hercule throw 16’s head in front of Gohan. He clenched his fists in rage as he remembered the gentle android and what Cell did to him. He then watched as 16’s head was crushed and Gohan powered up in response. The mini-Cells were taken out quickly and watched himself begin his fight with Cell. He spaced out for a little until he heard himself yell "KA.......ME........HA.........ME..........HAAAAAA!" and watched Cell be overtaken and destroyed after a long struggle. He felt Videl turn around in his arms and stared into her violet depths.

"I guess my father’s days of taking credit for you victory are over. You know even though I already saw that from your memories, it still amazes me what you did. Thank you Gohan for saving all of our lives." Videl said as she leaned in and kissed him.

"Am I interrupting you?" Chi-chi with a huge grin on her face. Both Gohan and Videl jumped at the sound of her voice and immediately began to blush BRIGHT red. "You know if you two look like tomatoes right now? You two need to relax. We all know you are going out so we expect you to kiss but we just like getting you angry. Maybe if you didn’t care so much then we wouldn’t bother you so much.

    Gohan blinked and then suddenly realized his mother was right. Once he did he leaned back in and kissed Videl again. He thought he heard his mother say something but he just ignored it and continued kissing Videl. He enjoyed it too much to care what anyone said. He barely noticed that his mother had left until he broke the kiss. He continued to hold Videl until they both drifted off into a gentle sleep. He continued to sleep with Videl in his arms until he heard his mother scream out that dinner was ready. He quickly woke up Videl and then bounded to the dinner table where Chi-Chi had a feast awaiting them

"I’m sorry I didn’t help with making dinner Chi-Chi. I guess I was a little tired."

"That’s perfectly all right Videl. In understand you had a hard training. I wouldn’t have let you help me anyway so just relax. Say I got a call from Bulma earlier. Finally that fake Hercule got exposed huh? Now my baby gets the credit he deserves for killing Cell. No offense to you or anything Videl but you’re dad is a goof."

"I know Chi-Chi. He had it in his head that he was the best and he finally got what he deserves. He hasn’t paid any attention to me since he lied to everyone and he needed to be put in his place." The rest of the dinner went by quickly and soon they all went off to bed.

Babadi’s Ship

"Master we have done it! We have brought Cell back from the dead! Our machine works!" The head scientist exclaimed.

"Good! At least you were good for something." replied Babadi as he quickly took control of Cell and a M appeared on his forehead. "Cell! In addition to the power boost you just received from me, we have made you a gravity chamber and Dabura here will help you train. Your mission will be to steal the energy of the boy who defeated you." Cell laughed and replied "Finally I can have my revenge! No Saiyan can beat me! It is an outrage that he did it the first time." Cell and Dabura then walked into the gravity room and the doors slammed shut.
