Chapter 19.

CAPSULE CORP. (MORNING)

Videl woke up in a white room trying to figure out where she was. In a flash, everything from last night came back to her; the break in at her house, Von, and the kidnaper, and of course, the explosion. Fear ran across her face as she couldn't remember exactly if Gohan had saved her or if the assassin still had her. She begin to check herself to see just how badly hurt she was after last night. She was surprised to find that she was completely healed without a single scratch. After getting over the shock that she was fine she quickly got up to try to find a way out of there. After doing a quick check-up of the room and finding no way to escape other than the door she carefully sat by the side of the door waiting for someone to come in. She didn't have to wait long as a blue haired lady opened the door. Deciding to attack first and ask questions later, Videl quickly lunged at the women being quite sure that she had her by surprised. But before Videl knew what happen her attack had been stop and Videl founded herself pinned to the floor.

“Videl, calm down, no one here is going to hurt you.” Stated Bulma seeing her struggling to get away. Hearing this, Videl stop struggling. Getting a good look at the woman, Videl finally realize who she was.

“Miss Briefs?”

“Yes but if you don't mind call me Bulma, Trunks let her go.”

“But mom, she might try to attack you again.”

“I'm sure she's not going to try that again, right Videl.”

“...........Right.”

Reluctantly Trunks let Videl go who was somewhat surprised that her attack was stop by a kid.

“Now go get Goten and finish getting ready for school, you Grandma will be here any minute to take you two to school.”

“Okay.” Said Trunks groaning as he left.

“Bulma, I don't mean to be rude but where am I?” ask Videl

“Well you're at Capsule Corp., but to be more specific, you're in the Medical Part of Capsule Corp. You were in bad shape last night when Gohan brought you in. I'm glad to see that all of your injuries have been healed.”

“Yes, exactly how did that happen, normally it would have taken me weeks to heal those injuries. Was I given a bean?”

“No, but here we can heal just about any wound in a few hours depending on how bad they are. Come, you must be hungry, how about we get something to eat, then I can explain what happen.”

“Okay.” Said Videl as they headed to get breakfast.

ONE HOUR LATER

“Alright now that you're finished eating lets get started, I'm guessing at Gohan told you about the assassination plot right?” ask Bulma, seeing Videl nod she then begin explaining what was happening.

“Well don't worry about last night, I've already straighten everything out with your father and after a little `convincing', he's agreed to let you stay here for the time being at least until we can catch the Crane Gang. And your friend Erasa, have she already left town.

“Yeah, she left yesterday.”

“Okay well if you'll follow me, I'll show you to your room.” Said Bulma getting up with Videl following suit. Bulma quickly showed Videl to her room and gave her a quick tour of the main house before brining her to the front part of the medical wing.

“And this is how I was able to heal you wounds.” Said Bulma showing Videl a room with several rejuvenations tanks, currently two was in use, one of which causing Videl to grasps after seeing the occupant (Unlike the series they are able to wear underwear).

“Is he going to be okay?” ask Videl worried and forgetting what Bulma had mentioned earlier.

“Of course.”

“Has he been in there all night?”

“Uh, oh no he's not in there because of last night.”

“He's not?”

“No, he's in there from one of his training session with Vegeta. They should be coming out any minute now.” Said Bulma motioning to her husband in the other tanks.”

“You mean they are in there from there training?”

“Yes.”

“THAT CRAZY!!! How could you let them train like that?”

“.....Because unlike you I've seen how much they can improve from training like this. So unless you know something I don't, I suggest you keep your thoughts to yourself.” Snapped Bulma getting over her shock of Videl yelling at her.

Videl shut her mouth. It was true that Bulma did know more about them than she did. Besides, Videl still had a feeling that she didn't know all there was to Gohan and here she was yelling at one of the few people who did. She couldn't believe that she had just yell at one the most powerful and richest person in the world.

{Great, way to go Videl, she heal alls of your wounds, give you a place to stay to be protected from further attacks and you go and piss her off. At this rate she'll probably kick me out of the house before nightfall.} Thought Videl

“Sorry about that, it just that I used to being told not to over do it.”

“....Don't worry about it.” Said Bulma with a knowing look on her face.

{Boy Gohan, you really have no idea in what you've gotten yourself into} thought Bulma

The two sat there in silence for the next few minutes until a beeping noise from the tank was heard signaling that Gohan and Vegeta were finished

“Why don't you step out for a minute while they get dress.”

“Okay.” Said Videl blushing as she left the room.

Slowly the doors open and Gohan and Vegeta stepped out, both looking quite refresh from their spar.

“Hurry up and get change, your `friend' is waiting for you outside.”

“How long as she been up.”

“Long enough to get on my bad side.”

“Well that wasn't too long now was it?” smirked Vegeta

“Oh shut up Vegeta. Gohan I don't want her running around Capsule Corp. alone, I'm guessing from our conversation earlier that there are still many things she don't know about.

“Yeah, only things that I've already mention.”

“Okay, since you brought her here Gohan, I'm making it your responsible for watching her.”

“WHAT! I thought you wanted me to help you with finding the Crane Gang.”

“You and I both know I can handle that by myself, you just make sure she stays out of trouble.”

“Looks like you going to be babysitting.” Laughed Vegeta as he headed out the door allowing Videl to enter and ending any chances of Gohan to get out of the deal.

{We'll see who'll have the last laugh} thought Gohan

CRANE GANG HIDEOUT

To say the Crane Master was impress was an understatement. The Doctor improvements on his boys had far surpass anything the Crane Master could have ever imagined, and the fact that he had just found out that they would be complete in a few days couldn't have come at a better time. As of now their operation had been a success as he watched them show off their new found strength and speed in their underground training room.

{With this type of power, we will be able to rule this entire planet. Gohan and his friends won't stand a chance.} Thought Crane Master.

“I must say I've love what you've done to them. They are far more powerful than I have ever imagined. How did you come up with this Dr. Frank?

“To be honest, I only came up with part of this. Several years ago I stumble upon a cave. From what I found it was a lab of some kind, and from the looks of it somebody had destroyed everything site. I guess they were in a hurry or they would have notice the iron safe at the far end of the lab. Seeing that there was nothing left I took the safe and left. I was amazed with what I found in the safe. Whoever the person was, he was a genius in robotics; however some of it was out dated so I remodeled a few things in his design. You see he was planning on building androids with AI(artificial intelligence). But that was too dangerous. Plus all machines have a limit as to how strong they can become but humans have the ability to go beyond normal limits. So instead of using machines I decided to use implement my design with humans. As you could see from the upgrade I gave your brother it was a success. Had he been a machine he would have never been able to fire that last blast. But I was still missing some key elements in the project such as fighters DNA. If you'll notice, one of you boys has slightly change color.”

“Yes he's green.” Frowned Crane Master.

“That the second part of my operation. I've found a way to combine their DNA with other people, in their case their DNA has been combined with some of the fighters from the Cell Games.”

“What?! How?”

“Well after the Cell Games the government wanted to know what the hell that creature was, so they sent out a research and development team to see what they could find. Guess who was appointed to lead the team.” Smirked Dr Frank

“I don't think I did find anything on him but I did find some other interesting things, such as blood sample from the other fighters from the Cell Games, and pieces from what could possible been an actual android. Anyway I kept their DNA. It wasn't until I found that safe in the cave that I was able to come up with a way to combine people DNA. Now come the third part of my plan. I have here programs from the safe I found of different fighters techniques that will be programmed into the boys. If all goes as plan this should be over with in a few days.” Said Dr. Frank

“Genius, pure genius. Well if that's all we're waiting for lets get started.”

“Yes lets.”

B-

CAPUSLE CORPS.

Videl silently sat on the opposite end of the table while watching Gohan work. After telling him that Bulma had given her a tour she quickly found out that Bulma had left some things out; one being the gym they were currently in. It was then that Videl decided to train while Gohan said something about only training in the GV room or outside, so he brought in his laptop and begin search for the Crane Gang.

“DAMNIT” said Gohan as he pounded his fist on the table breaking it, at the same time shocking Videl.

{And people tell me I have an attitude problem} thought Videl looking at the now destroyed table.

“I take it things are not going very well?” ask Videl. She quickly got her answer seeing the murderous look on Gohan face. Deciding not to joke further on the subject, Videl suggested that they get lunch. Seeing that he was getting nowhere on the computer, Gohan agreed. He was surprised at how fast time had gone by, Goten and Trunks had already returned from school and had joined Vegeta in cleaning the kitchen of all food. Gohan quickly joined the feeding frenzy while Videl suddenly lost her appetite.

{And I thought just two of them was bad enough, no wonder Bulma keeps coming up with new inventions. The way those four eat I'm surprised they have money to spare.} thought Videl

“Don't worry Videl, you'll get use to it.” Said Bulma as she too sat down and begin eating. Regaining some of her appetite, Videl finally joined the group. After eating, Bulma went back to work looking for the Crane Gang while Vegeta took Goten and Trucks to train leaving behind a piss off Videl and a laughing Gohan.

“It wasn't that funny Gohan.”

“That's from your point of view, I can't believe you ask to train with them. I've never seen Vegeta laugh that hard.”

“Really, and what so bad about that?”

“Did you remember anything I told you from the hospital, you wouldn't last a second with Vegeta literally, and let's not forget what Trunks did to your attack this morning.” Said Gohan still laughing.

“...........How did you know about that? I didn't tell you.”

“I overheard Trunks telling Vegeta and Goten.”

“Well he just got lucky.”

“Lucky my foot, I've seen your attacks and knowing you, you were aiming to knock whoever it was coming through that door out. Face it Videl training with them will only get you hurt or worst.”

{He may have a point} thought Videl remembering how she saw him and Vegeta this morning. Seeing the robots come in to clean up the kitchen, the two of them headed into the living room to relax for the evening with Videl choosing to watch television. She was surprise to see Gohan sit with her.

“Given up on your laptop?” ask Videl. It wasn't everyday she saw Gohan stumped like this. Usually he always found a way. Sure there were times when he didn't and she would give him hell, but on the other hand she really wished he had found some clues.

“There's nothing there, Bulma been at this since this morning and she's come up with nothing. There's no use in looking for information for something when it's not there. We have no choice but to wait for their next move.” Answered Gohan.

“So you're just going to sit here and wait.” Ask Videl getting angry. Though looking at Gohan she was surprise to see that he wasn't worrying like her. After all both of their lives was on the line.

“Aren't you worried? I mean we have no idea as to what they are up to or when they will attack. Yet you sit here as if y-you're used to this.” Said Videl finally realizing why Gohan wasn't so worried. Things were starting to make sense ......well some of it.

“Videl...........why hadn't you told news yet? Ask Gohan before she could come up with another question.

“.....”

I mean you made it clear that you would yet still you wait. I hope you're not waiting on me to give in because if you are then-

“I'm not going to tell the news Gohan, I never had any intentions of telling them, not after the way they did my family. I wouldn't want that to happen to anybody. I just wanted answers and that was the only way I saw I could get them.............Gohan.....I just want you to know that I'm sorry about what I said about your father. I had no right to say that whether he was dead or not....it wasn't my place........I also had no right to involve your brother either.....It was just that all my life I've always been in control of things, no matter what it was, I even had a say in the divorce......anything that involved me I made sure I was on top... that one of the reason I became a junior police........but all of that change when you came along....I was no longer in control, instead I had to stand by and watch everything from the sidelines......Even my father knew more on the matter than me.......Granted that's no excuse to do what I did.....I just wanted to be in control again. And I thought with you giving me the answers I wanted I......I could do that. I wanted you to know that.” Said Videl finally. She had been trying to come up with a way to tell him, but with him asking that question she figured that now was a good time as ever to tell him. She just hoped he would accept her apology.

“You mean you did all of that to be in control.” Ask Gohan frowning.

“You have no idea what it's like to live with my father. To constantly be told that you always have to be number one. To always strive to do your best only to be told you could have done better. It sickening to listen to that all the time. And then to top that off he wanted me to take credit for something I didn't do. I mean to lie like that is unthinkable. How could he have suggested something like that? It kind of made me saw how you felt when I was trying to blackmail you. I mean how can he justify that?”

Gohan sat quietly as Videl calmed herself. He had never seen this part of Videl before; sure he had seen parts of it but never thought it was this bad.

{Maybe what Erasa said was true.} thought Gohan.

“Well you sure do have a strange way of showing that miss `My father destroyed Cell.” Said Gohan. Videl was about to argue that until she notice the teasing look on his face.

“Please I only say that because it helps with getting what I want.”

“Spoil Brat.”

“Same goes for you.”

The two look at each other before they started laughing. It wasn't long before the two quiet down and finish watching tv.

“Well that it for me I'll see you later Gohan.”

Gohan nodded as he too headed for his room.

CAPSULE CORP. (MORNING)

Videl slowly entered the kitchen and quietly took her seat waiting for the food to be brought out. She was surprised to find that she was the only one there. With the way Gohan and the others eat she had assume that they would be the first ones down.

“I see you're up, funny I never really thought of you as a morning person.” Said Bulma as she entered the room.

“I'm not, the alarm on the clock went off.”

“Sorry about that, I didn't know the alarm was set for that room.”

“That's okay.” Said Videl as she started to dig in. She knew it wouldn't be long before she would be joined and her chances of getting food then wouldn't be likely remembering the other day. After breakfast Trunks and Goten was off to school while the others learned of Bulma's failed attempt to locate the Crane Gang.

“Well that settles it, we wait.” Said Vegeta heading out the door.

“I'm sorry Gohan but wherever he is, he's making sure they won't be found.”

“That's okay, I kind of came to that conclusion yesterday when neither of us found nothing.”

“Well unfortunately I have a meeting to attend so I'll you two later.” Said Bulma as she headed out the door.

“So what's on the agenda for today?” Ask Videl

“Nothing as of yet.”

“Then how about a spar?” ask Videl, why she didn't ask Gohan yesterday was beyond her. Remembering what Krillen had said about Gohan, she wanted to see it for herself.

”Yeah a spar with Vegeta sounds-

“I'm not talking about Vegeta, I'm meant a spar between me and you.” Smirked Videl

“You're serious aren't you?” ask Gohan.

“YES I'm serious.”

“Do your brain comprehend anything I say, if I can handle myself against Vegeta and even best him in some of our sparring matches what make you think that you can beat me.”

“I didn't say that I could, I'm just asking for some competition, punching a punching bag for hours on end can become quite boring besides you fight with Vegeta all the time.”

“That because he can offer me a challenge.”

“Oh I see; you're scared.” Smirked Videl. That got her desired response as Gohan growled at her comment.

“Fine, get dress. I'll see you in the gym” Said Gohan as he headed to his room. Ten minutes later the two stood feet's apart glaring at each other.

“Oh and Gohan, just to make this fair, no flying, or shooting that ki thing, no disappearing, but most of all no holding back.” Said Videl.

“I'll agree on the first three, but I can't agree about the last one.”

“AND WHY NOT, you're not the only one around here that can break a table just by punching it. And lets not forget what happen to that punching bag.”

Knowing that it would be pointless to argue, Gohan simply walked to the wall. Videl was about to question his action when she saw him simple flick his wrist at the wall totally destroying it and shocking the hell out of Videl.

“That wasn't even a fraction of my strength. I don't know what you thought about my strength but I can assure you it's not a trick.” Said Gohan as he entered the ring and taking a stance. Unfortunately, his little demonstration had frozen his opponent stiff.

“I'm not going to hurt you Videl.” Sighed Gohan.

{THE HELL IF YOU AREN'T} Thought Videl, the truth of just how strong Gohan and the others are, were finally starting to sink in. It also meant that her father would have some explaining to do when she saw him.

“Look, you've seen me fight other people, many who was much weaker than yourself, so as I said earlier I'm not going to hurt you, well no more than if you was fighting a opponent who was just as strong as yourself.”

“You.....can do that?”

“Yes, now are we going to spar or have `you' chicken out.”

That did the trick, without warning Videl attack Gohan with a series of punches and kicks.

B-

{Don't worry Videl, I'll be there soon.} thought Hercule. He was piss to find out someone had broken into his house. And he was even more furious to find out that they had tried to kidnap his daughter. Hercule would have returned home that minute if it wasn't for the fact that he had received a call from C.C. saying that his daughter was fine that they would take care of the damage received at his home. He easily agreed to that, after all it would be bad for business if the press was to find out that some one had the courage to break into his home. But when it came time to agreeing to let Vide stay there he had refused reminding them that he defeated Cell and that his daughter would be safer with him. Imagine his surprise when the person told him he was lying and that they could prove it. That shut him up. Not wanting to chance anything Hercule quickly complied. But after thinking it over something didn't add up. If what the person said was true then why didn't they come forward sooner? It had been seven years since he had claim that he had defeated Cell, and no one had ever said differently. Of course that was before he had saw the Gold Fighter on the news but even they hadn't bothered him. Besides if they had proof to what they claim then why not give it to the press who would have paid dearly for it. Instead they only used it to stop him when he said he was coming to get Videl. After thinking about this for a day, Hercule finally decided to go get his daughter. While he was glad they were paying for the damage at his house, he didn't trust them. After all there had to be a problem with any company that didn't want to invest in Hercule Inc.

{They may know the truth about Cell but they don't have any proof and it'll be my word against theirs.} thought Hercule as Capsule Corp building came into view.

B-

“Shit.” Curse Videl as another one of her attacks was blocked. The two had been at it for the last three hours and she had yet to land a punch on him, though he was quick to exploit any opening he saw in her attack. And to make matters worst he didn't seem to be tired at all.

“You'll have to do better than that.” Smirked Gohan as he easily dodged her kick to his stomach.

“Shut up and fight.” Yell Videl throwing a punch at Gohan head only to have him catch it and using her momentum to flip her on her back as he had done so many times that morning.

“You really need to work on your anger, it going to get you killed one day.” Taunted Gohan

“You're not one to talk about anger.” Said Videl getting up

“Maybe so but it doesn't interfere with my fighting. Shall we continue?”

“What do you think?” ask Videl as she charged once again.

B-

“IF YOU DON'T OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW AND LET ME IN, THERE'S GOING TO BE TROUBLE!” Yelled Hercule into the screen. After the computer didn't recognized him as a guest he called the Gate Security to let him in. After all who would refuse the great Hercule. Apparently they would.

“Guys we have to let him in, I mean he's Hercules for crying out loud, and he's threatening us.” said one of the guards.

“ARE YOU CRAZY, look I don't care who he's I'm not opening that gate, he may be the world strongest but I haven't seen him pick a fight with Bulma's husband.

“SO WHAT?”

“Look you're new here and haven't met Prince Vegeta, and trust me you don't want to either, beside the rules clearly states that unless Miss Briefs herself have cleared them, they cannot enter, and she didn't mention anything about Hercule to us.”

“Maybe she forgot.”

“Miss Briefs never forgets anything.”

“Well call her husband.”

“You call him I don't have a death wish.”

“Well call her son, he's still here.”

“Don't be stupid, give me that......look sir we don't have your name on our list so we cannot let you enter.”

“ALRIGHT LISTEN UP YOU FOOLS, YOU HAVE UNTIL THE COUNT OF TEN TO LET ME IN, OTHERWISE I'LL BE FORCE TO DO TO YOU WHAT I DID TO CELL, 1...2...3...4...5...”

“THAT'S IT MOVE OUT THE WAY I'M LETTING HIM IN.”

“Fine, but you're accepting full responsibility.”

“Okay just open the gate.”

“Alright, but you need to get down there and see to it nothing goes wrong.”

{We're all doom} thought the guard as he went to find Vegeta

B-

“Welcome to Capsule Corp. sir we sorry about any inconveniences we caus-

The guard speech suddenly stop as Hercule picked the guard off his feet and slam him to the wall.

“You can skip the pity speech, take me to my daughter NOW.”

“Y-Ye-Yes s-sir, just put m-me down and I'll take you to her r-right away.” Said the guard as he began directing them to the main house. After doing a quick check up, he then led the `world savior' towards the gym.

“YOU DID WHAT!!!!!!!” screamed Vegeta to the guard not caring that his ki blazed about him. It was bad enough that the guard came and disturbed him but to let that idiot in Capsule Corp. was just too much.

“I d-d-didn't do nothing, it was the n-n-new guy, he did it before we knew what happen!” said the guard, he had seen Vegeta like this only once and knew this wasn't good.”

{OF ALL THE PLANETS I'VE BEEN TO THIS ONE NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME WITH THEIR STUPIDITY!} though Vegeta. He quickly sense where Gohan and Videl was and finally found Hercule heading directly in that direction.

“OUT OF MY WAY.” Sneered Vegeta as he sent the guard flying across the lawn with his flare up.

{Knowing my luck I'll probably get blame for the whole damn thing} thought Vegeta. After thinking it over he suddenly slowed his pace. After all if he was going to get blame for something that wasn't even his fault he was going to make damn sure that it was worth it.

B-

“You know Gohan.......if you wanted to stop.......there are better ways of doing it.......than knocking the breath out of me..................a simple “lets stop for now”.............would have done it for me.” Said Videl clutching her stomach while trying to catch her breath. She had waited for Gohan to make a smart reply but nothing came her way. Looking at Gohan, she noticed that his mind was somewhere else.

To be honest, Gohan hadn't planned on hitting her that hard, but with Vegeta ki blazing out of control and him sensing a strong (at least stronger than a average human) heading his way he kind of overdid it. Let just say they was both shock to see Hercule burst through the door. For a moment, time stood still. Then all hell broke loose.

“WHAT IN THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY DAUGHTER?” yelled a furious Hercule seeing Videl on the floor clutching her stomach and some minor bruise from their sparring.

“Dad calm down-

“NO, I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!!! I CAME HERE ONLY TO FIND SOME......BOY BEATING MY DAUGHTER WHILE SHE'S DOWN. SO YOU LIKE PICKING ON DEFENSELESS GILRS WHEN THEY'RE INJURED WELL NOW YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH ME.” Said Hercule.

“For your information `Hercule' your daughter isn't injured. Any jackass could see that.” Said Gohan glaring at Hercule. There were no words that could explain the hate that he had for this man, and just seeing him here was slowly causing his power to rise (and because of the yelling).

The others stood in the room shock. Not since he had defeated Cell had anyone said anything like that in Hercule presence. Sure there were many who challenge him and called him names but many would back down when they came face to face with him, unless they had a weapon or something. But looking at Gohan it was clear that he didn't have one.

“Dad I'm fine, Bulma took care of my injuries. Gohan and I were just sparring.” Said Videl finally getting to her feet.

Looking at her closely Hercule saw that she was telling the truth. But that was forgotten as Hercule suddenly remembered where he had heard that name before.

“You're the boy from the police station aren't you. HOW DARE YOU TRY TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER CREDIT FOR DEFEATING THAT ASSASSIN.”

“What. Did. You. Say?” ask Gohan. The fact that he had not attack so far was an achievement in itself. But his darken expression didn't go unnoticed either, even Hercule took a step back before he regain his composure.

“You heard me you little punk, I should kick your sorry butt now.”

“You can try Hercule but the only one here who will get their butt kick is you.” Stated Gohan.

“Why you little-

“Dad what are you doing here?” asked Videl jumping between them. She knew if she didn't stop this soon it would end ugly.

“Huh, oh Videl go get your stuff, I'm taking you with me.” Announced Hercule

“What? But why?”

“Because I said so that's why. And you boy, you tell Miss Briefs that she will be hearing from my lawyer. No one tries to trick Hercule. What are you waiting for Videl, get to it.”

“No.”

“What?”

“I said no, she's not leaving.”

“Look boy, I don't know who you think you are-

“I'm Son Gohan, son of Son Goku, and don't you forget it.” Glared Gohan.

{Son Goku.....that the champion who won before me, the Fake...well isn't this interesting.} thought Hercule.

“So you're his son, look don't blame me kid I just see it the way I see it. He was a fake who-

“NO YOU'RE THE FAKE. YOU WOULDN'T EVEN BE STANDING HERE IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM.”

“......HOW DARE YOU YELL AT ME BOY, I AM HERCULE. THE ONE WHO DEFEATED CELL, YOU SHOULD GIVE ME THE RESPECT I DESERVED.”

“RESPECT, you want me to give you respect after what you did. You're not even worth licking my boots. So you defeated Cell huh, that's funny, as I recall he knock you out the ring without even trying.” Smirked Gohan, calling his father a fake was the last straw, and he would make sure Hercule would be taught a lesson.

“What are you talking about boy you wasn't even there.”

“Oh but I was, I remember seeing you hiding behind the boulders as Cell destroyed that Android and how you scramble away when he made copies of his self.”

“How...how do you know that? No one knows about that.” Questioned Hercule beginning to sweat. None of these things had ever been told to the public.

“I see, you don't remember me, well Hercule let me refresh yoUR MEMORY” yelled Gohan as he transformed into a super sayjin knocking everyone down around him (at the same time knocking out the guard who would remember nothing).

“Remember me now.” Smirked Gohan evilly.

Hercule went to say something but nothing came out. He knew who Gohan was, he was the one that really destroyed Cell. Very quickly Hercule begin crawling toward the door but stop as Gohan appeared in front of him.

“I can't have you leaving just yet now can I, after all, it's been so long since we've seen each other.” Said Gohan as he picked Hercule off the floor standing him on his feet. Putting his hand in front of Hercule, Gohan slowly begin forming a ki ball putting it close to Hercule making sure that he could feel the heat of the ki ball. Without warning he shot it at the newly replace punching bag destroying it.

“So tell me Hercule, you still think that was fake?” ask Gohan

“Look, w-we can work th-this out.” Stuttered Hercule

“I think it too late for that.” As he shot a blast right in front of Hercule knocking him to the far end of the gym.

“GOHAN STOP THIS.” Cried Videl finally getting over her shock at seeing him transform. She had never seen him this mad before, and feared what he might do to her father.

“Why. I thought you wanted to know the truth.” Said Gohan glaring back at Videl.

Before Videl knew it Gohan had appeared in front of her holding her crying father by his side.

“You said you don't like to be trick, well you wasn't, Bulma didn't lie when she said she had evidence against you and I'm all the evidence she'll ever need.”

“Ok kid, you're right, p-please let me g-go.”

“Not until you tell her the truth.” Said Gohan pointing at Videl.

“Okay, okay.........just don't hurt me..........................................Videl..........I wasn't the one................................that defeated Cell.” Answered Hercule.

“Tell her where you were!” barked Gohan causing both of them to flinch.

“I-I ran away when everything e-exploded. By the t-time I came out of hiding the battle had stopped.”

“And seeing no one there you decided that it was best for you to take all the credit, didn't you?”

“……………………̷ 0;.....”

“DIDN'T YOU?”

“yes.”

“That's enough Gohan, you made your point.” Stated Vegeta standing at the door. While it had been fun seeing Gohan scaring Hercule to death, he knew that Gohan was only seconds away from going SSJ2 which in his angered state could destroy the whole gym.

“Don't forget about 16.” Stated Vegeta seeing that Gohan hadn't move from his position. Hearing that name Gohan slowly begin to calm down. He glanced at Vegeta only once as he floated off the ground making sure that Hercule saw him before flying through the roof heading as far from Capsule Corp. as possible. Slowly Vegeta entered the gym noticing the unconscious guard and what was once a punching bag.

“Yeah that's right he better leave...don't know who he's messing with.” Stated Hercule

“Shut up, JUST SHUT UP DAD, how could you do this, you lied to me, mom, EVERYONE.”

“Listen Videl-

“NO!!!!! I will not listen to anymore of your lies.” Cried Videl getting up and heading out the gym wanting to get away from her father.

Hercule was about to follow her when he was stopped by Vegeta

“I believed you have outstayed your welcome. To put it's simple it time for you to leave.”

“But Videl-”

“Will stay here until further notice, understand.”

Hercule was about to protest wanting his daughter no where near Gohan, when he suddenly notice Vegeta eyes flash green, he quickly agreed.

“I'm glad I made myself clear, I assume you know where the exit is, and next time I advise you to take my woman advice or you won't be dealing with the boy, but with me instead. NOW GET OUT!!!” Said Vegeta glaring at Hercule tossing him back with his power.

Hercule wasted no time exiting Capsule Corp. having a lot to think about, but he knew one thing, never again would he ever call those fighters a fake again.

“Um sir.”

“WHAT IS IT NOW.” Ask Vegeta looking at the guard who had come to get him in the first place.

“It's your wife, she back and just saw Miss Videl running to her room, she wants to know what happened.”

{Great just great. And to make matters worst the others are here as well} thought Vegeta sensing the Z Fighters

{Great they leave me here to play message boy, might as well get this over with}

Though Vegeta

“Contact the medical wing and have someone come check him out and when he cleared Send. Him. To. Me. I'm going to make sure this never happens again.”

“Yes sir.” Said the guard feeling sorry for his partner.

Having giving a quick summary of what had happened the Z fighter left seeing there was nothing they could do to help, everyone knew that when Gohan got like this it was best to leave him alone. Meanwhile Vegeta got an earful from Bulma. After enduring her lecture he was more than glad to meet the guard that caused all this and have a little `chat' with him.

{About damn time something went my way} thought Vegeta as he drag the crying guard to the Gravity Room.

B-

“Videl, can I come in?” ask Bulma

“Yeah.” Mumble Videl

“I brought you some food, since you didn't come down for lunch or dinner.” Said Bulma putting the food on the table.

“Thanks”

“Are you okay.”

“I'm okay, just a little shock that's all.”

“Okay then I'll see you tomorrow.”

“Hey, Bulma.”

“Yes.”

“Why didn't any of you come forward after the Cell games?”

“To be honest there was a lot of things going on during that time that non of us had even heard that someone had took credit for killing Cell. One being that we all lost a good friend that day. By the time I had found out it had already been 4 months and I'm one of the most well inform people on the planet. Though there was a few of them who wanted to have a little `chat' with your father when they found out.”

“I see.....it just I'm surprised Gohan waited this long to say something to my dad.”

“Videl, Gohan didn't find out about this until he started school. You see the person we lost was his father, and Gohan took that pretty hard so we all thought that it was best to tell him later.”

Videl said nothing more on the matter. She suddenly realized why Gohan despised her so much.

{And to think I constantly kept telling him that he couldn't even compare to my father. It's my father that can't compare to Gohan.} thought

“Has Gohan returned?”

“Not as of yet, he's still cooling off somewhere. No doubt that confrontation with Hercule sent him over the edge.”

“It wasn't Gohan fault, my father basically put his self in that position.”

“No doubt about that.” Laugh Bulma

“.......Bulma, how could Gohan changed like that, I mean all this time I thought it was make up-

“Videl, that an answer only Gohan can give you, it's not my right to say.”

“You're right.”

“Well I'll be seeing you now.”

“Okay, and Bulma.”

“Yes.”

“Thanks.”

“No problem.”

Well that's it for this chapter, Next time on A New Adventure, the Crane Gang make their move.
