Chapter 1: The Arrival of a New Power.

The first few days back to school were littered with questions and suspicions. Basically surrrounding Gohan and Videl, especially after everyone found out about Gohan being Saiyaman and the Gold Fighter. Now, the chaos had dulled, and the two teens would continue their lives as quietly as possible. They both loved the other, but they had yet to tell the other that. Gohan and Videl were at lunch and Gohan was thinking about how to tell Videl what he felt about her. But before he could formulate even a crude plan, he noticed something strange. It was a sudden jolt of energy, someone increasing their signal, but he had never felt it before. He had stopped eating his lunch and looked around, which was a major non-Gohan thing and thus, caught Videl's attention.

Videl looked to Gohan, worried about his sudden alarm, "What is it, Gohan?"

Gohan looked to her, worry on his face, and said, "I felt a strange power from somewhere. I can't tell where it came from."

"What? That's weird," she replied, a little lost about the sensing though.

"What? Felt power?" Erasa asked confusedly.

"What are you talking about?" Sharpner added.

Gohan and Videl's other friends began to ask him what he meant by feeling power, but before Gohan could say anything, everyone jumped as Goku suddenly appeared, no doubt Instant Transmission.

"Dad! Please don't do that around them!" Gohan hissed, apparently feeling their shock.

"Oh, sorry Gohan, I guess I do take that little move for granted," he laughed somewhat embarrassed. But then, his mood firmed, and he asked, "Did you feel that? It was strange, I felt it for a second then I couldn't pinpoint it again."

"Yeah, I did," he told, confused at this unusual phenomenon.

"Hmm, this is weird. How could anyone hide their power level so fast?" Goku asked out loud.

"What is he talking about?" Sharpner demanded, "And how did you just appear like that?"

"Well, it's actually a real cool ability I learned when I visited the planet Yardrat, and it's a--," as Gohan covers his mouth and says, "Great dad, thanks for helping us out, how about we talk about this later?"

Goku looked at his oldest son with that old clueless look, but said, "Alright, see you later!"

With that he put two fingers to his forehead and disappeared.

Everyone stared dumbly at the spot where Goku had just been.

"Well. That was weird," Sharpner stated.

Videl wasn't confused by his father's departure as much as what had just transpired.

"Gohan, seriously, what just HAPPENED?!" she exclaimed.

Gohan looked hopefully for a way out, and whispered to her, "It would be easier if you came over to my house, since you're the only one who's seen this kind of stuff before. Please, it's hard enough with my other identities as it is."

Deciding to give Gohan the benefit of a doubt, she turned back to the bewildered teens and said, "No problems, don't worry about it."

As everyone relaxed and began to talk amongst themselves, Videl looked back at Gohan with worry, but Gohan put a warm hand on her shoulder and she smiled brightly.

As Gohan and Videl flew towards his house, Videl couldn't understand what held her back. Everyday, she was with Gohan and talked to him, and felt so happy just being around him. So why couldn't she tell him? She decided to tell him as soon as she landed. They continued on, Videl trying to collect all the courage she could to tell him this.

Finally, they reached the house and landed, and the two began to walk towards the door, right next to each other. Just then however, Videl stopped and said, "Gohan, hold on, I need to tell you something."

Gohan halted and looked to her, and saw that her face was filled with nervousness, as if she was trying confess a crime or something.

"What's wrong Videl?" Gohan asked worriedly, knowing that she was never like this.

"Well, you see, I been wanting to tell you something for awhile, but I didn't find the courage to say it. I think I'd better say it now. Gohan, I..."

She paused, and Gohan leaned closer and held her hand. She was just about to complete her sentence when they heard a mischievous voice from behind say, "Ohhhhh, whacha talking about, lubby-dubby stuff?"

It was Trunks, and him and Goten both began to giggle from the doorway. Videl and Gohan both looked at them, and although Gohan was irritated, it was Videl who was furious.

"HEY! Mind your own business!" Videl yelled at them, and they retreated back inside the house, definitely deflated.

Videl calmed herself and Gohan looked back to her, putting a warm hand on her shoulder and saying, "So what was it you wanted to say?"

Even though Gohan thought he knew what she was going to say, he wanted to hear her say it. But once again, just as she opened her mouth to speak, a voice from inside the house called, "Hey you two out there, I made cookies!"

This time Chichi was the culprit of the interruption, and Videl just closed her eyes in frustration, and said, "I'll tell you later, I know you probably want to eat."

Gohan then gently grazed her face with the back of his hand. Videl opened her eyes and saw the warmth in his smile and she returned it. As they went inside the house, Videl could barely contain herself from yelling what she wanted to tell him.

The Son residence was a bustling one today. All the family members, Bulma and her two Saiyans, as well as Yamcha, Krillin and his family, and Ox King. As the two teens walked in, they saw, of course, the slightly detestable scene of Goku eating. No matter how many times they saw it, the people who knew Goku could not understand how he could eat so much.

Goku said with his mouth full, "MMM, these are the best!"

Trunks and Goten were also stuffing their faces with cookies, while the remaining bystanders just watched the appalling sight. Gohan began to eat ravenously as well, while Videl, who was no stranger to sugar, began to eat as well, although nowhere near as fast as the others.

Insert eating scene here

As Goku shoved in cookie 123, he leaned back and said, "Oh wow, those were good! You make the best sweets Chi."

"Well, thank you Goku," Chichi replied, enjoying Bulma's slight irritation at her husband's lack of compliments.

"Don't expect me to say -anything- like that, woman," Vegeta growled.

As Videl picked up what she decided might be the last one, it slipped from her hand towards the ground. Gohan, through his own appetite, noticed this and, with a swift movement, caught it and said, "Oops, nearly dropped--" But as he spoke, he popped the cookie into her mouth, and her eyes lit up with that gesture, "--this."

"Gohan," Goku suddenly jarred his son from his gazing, "Did you feel that power again today?"

"No I couldn't feel it again," he told him dismayed.

"Hmm, well the only thing I can think of is that they were able to mask their powers really fast. Hey, Vegeta, did you feel that today too?"

Vegeta merely nodded, and Bulma said, "Yeah, Trunks did too, he said."

"Eighteen and I felt it too, pretty weird if you ask me," Krillin told them, Eighteen agreeing.

Videl suddenly snapped back to this problem and said, "Hey, I still don't get all of this, what's this sensing and power levels I've heard all over? No one has bothered to explain this to -me-," she accused, looking at Gohan sharply.

"Videl, I just didn't think you could understand since you can't do it," he tried nervously.

"Could you teach me how to sense like you guys?" she asked hopefully.

Gohan blinked, then thought about it. I've known how to sense since I was young, but I never really learned how, it just came to me. But before Gohan could answer, Vegeta interrupted, "That's something you should ask me. I had to earn that skill, and I think you'd be better off to learn from someone who had to pick it up," he chided with a tone of arrogance.

"Sorry, your majesty," she teased, Vegeta's visage going into a scowl, "But I'd rather learn from someone I trust."

When she indicated Gohan, his face flushed and he smiled again with that grin, and Videl shook her head at the look on his face.

"You can teach me, right Gohan?" she looked hopefully into her boyfriend's eyes.

"Well, I never really learned it, I just knew," he answered weakly.

"Aww, come on Gohan, I believe you can."

He looked into her eyes and saw the determination and pleading, and he couldn't refuse her.

"Well, OK, I'll try."

"GREAT! Then I can see what you people are all talking about!" She said joyfully.

Gohan laughed nervously, and Goten and Trunks couldn't help but snicker at the bind Gohan was in now.

"Yeah, but you said you wanted to tell me something. Come on," he told her, offering his arm.

The two walked into Gohan's room, but Gohan, wary of the way his mom would act, left the door open enough to show they would only talk.

"Oh, I can't wait, the grandchildren, can you imagine?" Chichi once again went off about with Bulma.

As the two women chatted noisily about baby names, Goku began to speak to Vegeta, "When you felt that energy today, did you feel, you know, its side, like if it's good or not?"

Vegeta, although hardly able to stand talking to Goku, decided it was important for both of them and said, "No, it was there for a second and disappeared."

"Yeah, I thought so."

Yamcha then broke in and said, "What are you guys worrying about? You're the strongest fighters there are, what's so bad about it?"

But Goku could only think about where a power like that could have come from. There was no familiarity, and it was so fast, he couldn't even follow it. Well, I guess Yamcha's right, but still, it just doesn't make sense.

As the two teens entered the room, Gohan followed Videl with her eyes and asked, "So what was it you wanted to tell me?"

Videl, however, instead said, "I'll get to that in a minute. First, I want to learn about this sensing stuff. It could have really helped if I could have sensed you when I thought you were dead, remember?"

Still thinking about that nightmare in his mind, and wishing so bad that he could go back and try to tell her that he was alive before she died to Buu, he answered, "Well, I'll try, but I don't really know how to be a good teacher."

"Just first tell me about the power levels and all that stuff. To me it's a bunch of garbage."

"OK. Uhh, well power levels are the signals a person sends out to let others know that they're there. Most of the time though, it's only something that happens when you increase your energy."

Videl looked lost, and asked, "Wait, what's this energy stuff you keep saying?"

"Well, it's basically the stuff you do all those abilities with, like fly, blast beams (Videl's eyes lit up mischieviously) and basically live. If you run out of energy when you fight, you basically... well, uh... die..." he finished grimly.

"Oh I get it. So if my energy runs out, I kick it, and I need it to fly. But what does that have to do with power levels or whatever?"

"Well, the more power you have, the stronger signal you send out. It helps to find someone who is raising their level, and is very helpful in fights when you can't see the opponent. You can also find out how strong they are by how much energy they have."

"Hmm, I get it. So can you teach me to sense?" she looked hopefully into his deep obsidian eyes.

"Heh, uh yeah, but first, you need to tell me what you wanted to say first, it's killing me."

Videl looked him straight in the eyes, then took his hand and said, "Gohan, this is really hard for me to explain. I don't know if I can tell you this yet."

Gohan held her hand with both of his and said, "Don't worry Videl, no matter what it is, I'll understand."

The two gazed into each other's eyes and Videl said, "Gohan, since I thought you had died to Buu, I was shredded. I didn't understand why I felt so lost without you, and I found out why when I heard that you were gone."

Gohan moved one of his hands up to her arm and held her lightly, and waited for what he hoped would be the words he wanted to say to her.

"Gohan, what I'm trying to say is, that, I..." Videl paused one last time and Gohan decided to fill her in and said, "Videl, are you trying to say that you love me?"

Videl stared mutely into Gohan's eyes, and finally finished, "Yes, I love you Gohan."

Gohan held her closer now with both arms and replied to her, "I love you too, Videl."

Videl's eyes lit up and glistened, her happiness more than words could express. Gohan, as well, could not hold his happiness inside himself, and smiled warmly as tears welled up in his eyes. Then, Videl brought her arms up and wrapped them around his neck and pulled him closer, and he pulled her closer as well. They continued to advance closer and closer until their lips were about to touch. Finally, Videl, unable to hold herself from him any longer, closed the gap and kissed him. They sat their, unsure if they were having a dream or not. They continued to kiss, holding each other for quite a long time, and finally broke off.

"Don't let me lose you, Videl," Gohan pleaded.

"Don't leave me then," Videl replied smartly, making Gohan smile.

They were just about to continue kissing when they heard a voice call from the other room, "Hey, time to eat!"

The two lovers on the bed heard this and separated, Videl a little disappointed. Gohan took her hand and told her, "I'll make sure we are together for as long as possible."

"You'd better. Now about the sensing, I'm not going to stop because of this, so you'd better be ready to teach me, tomorrow at my house after school. And you'd BETTER come," she told him.

"Great. Let's go," Gohan suggested.

"That sounds like a good idea," Videl said.

"Yeah, I'm starved," Gohan agreed.

"You're ALWAYS starved!"

"NO, I just always seem to eat when you come over, that's all."

"Sure. Whatever you say Gohan."

The dinner would pass as any other would in the Son household with 5 Saiyan-blooded men in the house: noisily and detestable. Videl would eat, but a very small portion, a morsel compared to the amount of food being pushed into any of the Saiyans.

522 portions altogether later, Goku said, "Ahhhh, that was delicious. The best food is here on Earth! Other World food just wasn't that good for those 7 years."

"So you regret your decision to abandon me and your sons NOW?!" Chichi accused, "Honestly Goku, only when you eat is when you decide to tell us stuff like that."

"Well I mean it, honey, I mean your cooking is so much better," Goku told her, once again innocently clueless.

"Oh, Goku, you big lug," Chichi softened.

"Leave it to Goku to talk about important stuff during or after he stuffs his face," Krillin quipped.

"Amen to that," Yamcha seconded.

Videl finished and got up saying her thank you's. She then turned to Gohan and said, "See you tomorrow, Mr. Make-my-heart-melt." Gohan laughed nervously about that compliment, especially since it was given around all of his friends and family. She turned to leave and wait for when she would next be in her boyfriend's hands.

However, a drastic event was about to take place before that, and it wasn't going to be run-of-the-mill.

This event started with one signal, which had suddenly appeared.

Goku, who was leaning back in his chair with the same grin on his face, suddenly became alert and sat bolt upright. To further this atmosphere of alarm, Vegeta's face suddenly turned to a mix of rage and shock. Gohan had just turned from Videl when he felt it too.

"WHAT?!" Goku suddenly jumped up and stood, apparently shocked, and looked into space, with that dreaded, familiar power again in his mind.

"But how, this can't BE!" Vegeta stood too and the entire room was suddenly nervous about what was getting the two Saiyans so worked up.

Gohan then realized that many people were in danger, including Videl, and he turned and yelled, "Wait, don't go yet!"

Videl turned confusedly to him and said, "What, what's wrong?"

As she said this, she had began opening the door, and she was completely oblivious to what was out there. In the darkness... a sinister red light shined menacingly against the night.

"VIDEL, GET AWAY FROM THE DOOR!" Goku warned, terrifying the teen.

"What?! What's happening?!" But she need only turn and see the light suddenly turn into a beam and shot directly at her.

"VIDEL, LOOK OUT!!" Gohan shouted, but to his utter horror, she wouldn't have had time to react.

Videl gaped in fear as the beam flew right towards her.

"NOOOOOOOOO!!" Gohan screamed.

The beam hit the girl square in the stomach and penetrated her body clear to the other side, the wound that was left was brutal and mortal.

Half the room gasped as the young fighter was knocked backwards and fell to the floor, and it seemed she was gone. The Son men looked at her in pure sorrow, as Chichi stared dumbly and then fainted, whom was caught by Bulma. Trunks looked bitter about this moment as Goten began crying, unable to understand this entire situation. Vegeta seemed to care less about Videl than about the force that attacked her. Krillin and Yamcha looked stupefied and Eighteen felt a twinge of regret. As the non-Saiyans and family members looked on in terror, Goku and Vegeta looked towards the dark door, knowing exactly who had shot that beam. Gohan, meanwhile, stared at his girlfriend, feeling as if every single bone in his body had been crushed into dust. He fell to his knees at her side, tears flowing fast, and he held her hand, and saw, with only a pang of relief, that she was alive. Then, the half-Saiyan's mood turned from this nightmarish sorrow to burning and unstoppable hatred towards the being who did this.

"Hm hm hm, oh my, did I say something offensive?" That downright awful voice drawled from outside, and the Z-fighters all looked on in anger and shock as the monster floated towards the door and was illuminated.

"This will be the last time you hurt anyone, I'm going to make positively sure of that, Frieza," Goku proclaimed.

The foul and wicked tyrant stood before the Son household, smirking about his handiwork, and said, "My, that's quite a threat from a monkey."

"How do you possibly think you are going to even land one blow on us, Frieza. We were too much 10 years ago. Now that you came back again like a fool, I can exact my revenge," Vegeta growled, still with burning hatred towards the monster's attack on his home planet.

However, Gohan walked in front of them all, and said, with enough coldness to freeze water, "You...have hurt so many...my friends...my family...and so many innocent people...and now you have taken my girlfriend!"

Gohan's voice rose with his last few words, as did his energy, and tears flowed from his eyes, "And now, I'm going to make sure you don't hurt ANYONE ELSE!!"

Frieza had only a second to change his expression from smug to horrified as the irate Saiyan zoomed at him and punched him in the face so hard, it nearly knocked the house down.

The tyrant yelled in pain as he flew through the air, and Gohan rushed behind him and booted him up into the air, Frieza bellowing in pain.

Then, all of his pain and sorrow rushing together in one moment, he put his hands together and summoned up energy beyond comprehension.

"KAAA--MEEE--HAAA--MEEE...HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan then released a blast as big as the one he used to finish Cell from his hands, heading right for Frieza.

Finally, Frieza regained himself, but then yelled, "WHAT?! HOW CAN THIS BE?!"

The brilliant blue blast collided with the former top power of the universe, and the results wouldn't be good for him. The white purple monster tried with all his efforts to stop the blast, but then couldn't hold on any longer.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

An incredible earth-shaking explosion rocked the area, and smoke and dust filled the area. The dust circled around the enraged Gohan, who was still seething with anger. As the dust rose, a storm thundered overhead, and it began to rain. Gohan, anger still boiling at the now dead evil monster, then snapped his thought back to Videl when he heard, "AHHH, Go--Gohan, where... are you?"

He heard her struggling to talk and he raced inside to her and dropped to her side.

"Videl, I'm right here, don't worry," he tried to calm her.

"Gohan! Can't you, AHH, help me? Come on, please Gohan, I need, OHHH, your help..." she rasped and crunched her face with the pain.

"Yes, don't worry, I won't let you go," he answered, hoping he could hold true, "DAD! We need Senzu beans, quick!"

Goku looked sadly at the two teens and told his oldest son, "I'm sorry Gohan. I went there two days ago for some and Korin said he wouldn't have any for two more weeks."

"WHAT?! Urgh, no, I won't lose her..." he told them, and thought about any way to save her.

Please, don't leave me, I won't forgive myself for losing you, I'll save you Videl.

"Wait! Dende, he can heal her!" he tried, but Goku again looked pained to tell him.

"I was thinking the same thing Gohan, but we can't get her there fast enough by flying and if I use Instant Transmission, the speed would strain her too much in her condition, and she would die..." he finished on a note of apology.

"No, no... Come on, there's gotta be a way!" he kept repeating.

Then, Videl opened her eyes with all her efforts and told him, soothingly, "Gohan, listen, don't even go off thinking this is your fault."

The two teens locked eyes again, but Gohan's tears clouded his own, and, amid groans of pain, Videl continued, "If you can't heal me, I understand. I really didn't think you could, frankly."

Her life force was beginning to slip away, but Gohan persisted, and told her, "NO, I will help you Videl, I won't lose you."

Meanwhile outside, the rain fell hard, and a flash of lightning illuminated the clearing around the Son house.

"Well, Gohan, if you can find a way to fix this, I won't doubt you again. But I don't think there is a way."

Again, another flash lit the ground, but anyone watching would have seen the silhouette of a dark figure now standing in the clearing, facing the house, defiance in his shadow.

"No, Videl, don't give up, PLEASE!" Gohan's voice intensified, tears welling up in his eyes fast.

"Look, just go and get those Dragonballs of yours, and wish me back. But Gohan, if that doesn't work, at least I knew you loved me," Videl told him, her eyes glistening with the sight of her boyfriend.

"No, Videl, no, DON'T LEAVE ME!" he nearly yelled.

The next flash of lightning would have revealed the figure moving towards the house.

"I will always be thinking about you, Gohan, think...about...me..." she finished.

And to everyone's true heartfelt sadness, the young teen closed her eyes and her pain left her as she took one final breath, upon which she said, "I love you Gohan."

Gohan looked down at her, her lifeless form laughing at him, mocking his attempts to find love. His shoulders shook and he lost it, and screamed, "VIDEL, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Whatever pain he had felt at anytime in his life, they didn't come anywhere close to the sorrow he felt now. She was gone, and he just fell to her shoulder and cried. He lay there, unwilling to go on without her, and he cried.

The other people there looked deeply hurt to see this happen, to see Videl leave their lives and see Gohan's ripped to shreds. Goku had apology all over his face, and tried to tell Gohan that all wasn't lost, "Gohan, we can still revive her with the Dragonballs, she's not gone for good."

But that will take time, Gohan thought, and every second without her makes me want to die..

Gohan just lay there, crying into Videl's shoulders, wanting to feel her presence more than he wanted to live.

Goku looked up to think about what to do about this entire situation when something caught his eye.

"Huh?" he wondered out loud, and the others looked at him, pondering what he had seen. They followed his eyes and they were on the door, and they too saw it.

Standing completely in shadow, a figure stood outside of the house, apparently watching this painful scene.

"Can... we help you?" Goku asked the stranger, although he couldn't tell if the person was looking at Goku.

But then, the figure, who had been watching the two teens on the floor, spoke in a low eerie tone, "No, I'm here for something else."

The being was a young man, and he sounded strange. Young but unusually strong. But, no matter how he sounded, his next action alarmed them.

He raised his hand towards the two teens, and opened his palm, pointed at Videl, and Gohan turned and, anger flaring once again, jumped up and said, "NO, I will not let anything else happen to her, even if it means my life."

The others looked horrified at this, and Goku said, "Gohan, wait! Don't do anything rash!"

Goku tried to talk to him but he ignored them and said to the mysterious figure, "I will not let you hurt her."

The being stopped, seemingly pondering this and then offered unusually, "Then how about I help her?"

The half-Saiyan raised an eyebrow as the young man in the door began to change his hand form and now it looked like he was about to snap his fingers.

"NO, DON'T!" Gohan tried to reason, but the figure, still unseen except for his hand, snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, a bright light began to form in his hand, and collected into one brilliant ball.

Then, like a jolt of lightning, the light shot to Videl, and Gohan wheeled and watched in apprehension at the scene now unfolding.

The light had spread like glittler over the lifeless fighter, and then began to swirl around the mortal bloody wound in the center of her stomach. As the light grew brighter, the whole room watched, wondering what he was doing.

Then they noticed it. "Hey, the hole, it's shrinking!" Goten exclaimed excitedly from over Videl.

Indeed, the wound was dissappating, and then, it was totally gone.

Everyone looked dumbfounded at this, but were about to be amazed even further when the light suddenly began to whirl over Videl, lifting her slightly off the ground, and began to rush through her mouth.

"WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" Gohan demanded loudly of the stranger, who continued to stare at the teen.

Then, the light all thrust into Videl at that one moment, and, to everyone's astoundment and utter shock, the fighter jolted and gasped loudly as if she had held her breath for hours, and sat bolt upright.

"Vi...Videl?" Gohan stuttered, unable to believe it. She was alive?

She looked around, and then saw Gohan and asked, "Is this heaven?"

"NO, YOU'RE ALIVE!!" Gohan fell again to his knees and took her hands into his own, tears now flowing because of his sheer joy. They couldn't hold back, and they embraced each other with their whole love flowing through the two of them as one.

"You see, Gohan, I told you you would find a way," Videl said teasingly, and hugged him tighter than ever.

"Well, actually," and he felt embarrassed to say this, "it wasn't me, it was this guy."

Videl looked behind Gohan as did everyone else to the figure once again in total darkness.

His mere presence sent an uneasy feeling into the newly revived Videl, and she thought, this guy brought me back to life?! How could he do that?

However, the question that everyone was burning to ask was to find out who this mysterious person was. But before anyone could get one word out, the figure had turned and began to leave.

Vegeta, however, decided to ask the gripping question, going off on a tirade, and yelled, "HEY! If you think that you can just randomly appear from nowhere, resurrect the demon child, and leave without even saying who you are, think again! Now explain yourself! Who are you and how did you revive the brat?!"

The being simply stopped, his silhouette not turning back to them, and said in an ominous voice, "My identity will soon be revealed to you and you will soon learn all of my intentions. In due time. Until then, remember this night."

The figure appeared to be finished, when Videl jumped up and got closer to the young man, and asked pleadingly, "Wait, please, at least let me say thank you for bringing me back to my boyfriend and life."

"Your welcome," he replied in a low voice.

"But please," she continued, "At least tell me who you are so I know who I am thanking for this."

"I won't tell you my name, but you'll understand when I do this," he answered vaguely.

The figure turned towards the Son household's occupants again, and clenched his fist. His hand began to glow a deep red, and soon his energy level rose, and they realized it.

"It's him!" Goku announced, "He's the new power level we sensed!"

Everyone looked marvelled at the figure, who looked back at them now, and then, another flash of lightning went off outside, and the witnesses of Videl's resurrection got a brief look at his face, which the lightning illuminated.

His taut, rigid face, boasting considerable and insurmountable will, his mouth turned in a smirk, as if he knew so much more than he was letting on. But it was the eyes, his blue eyes, not like Videl's crystal ones or Trunks's icy ones, but a tremendously deep and rich blue, and the way he looked at them, they truly saw what this teen had that none other had: an impassable will and strength beyond comparison, the determination of an entire planet.

Finally, the figure said, "When next we meet, you will see me for real and learn what you want. Be ready for that day."

And with that, he turned away again and walked out into the rain. Videl, still unsatisfied, tried to follow, but was taken by surprise when the young stranger suddenly glowed radiantly bright, and with a bright flash from the lightning, the figure was gone, somehow vanished into the night, and his power level once again disappeared.

The people who had witnessed this were entranced except for Vegeta, who was utterly angry that a power like that could resurrect.

"This is new," Goku then broke the silence, "I've never knew anyone could resurrect."

"Yeah, well, I think he was a little weird if you want my opinion," Krillin told them, a little disconcerted with this whole night.

"Come on, he couldn't be that bad," Videl then said cheerily, "If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be back right now. I bet Gohan's happy about this."

She looked at him with a bright smile and he affirmed by saying, "Happy? There aren't words for it!"

Videl shook her head at Gohan's wide smile again, and the young girl went up to him and then held each other again.

"Well, either way, we're back at the same spot as before. I think I was about to leave," Videl recalled, but her hand was held tightly by her boyfriend.

"I would feel better right now if I could escort you. You know, just in case," Gohan explained, with a plea in his eyes, just so he could help protect her if she was in danger.

"Whatever, just as long as you stay with me Gohan," she told him, slightly bored with his attempts to hide their love -now-.

The two then left the Son household after some quick goodbyes, and the two flew off together.

As they left, Goku wondered, Even if he revived Videl, why would he? We don't even recognize his power. I don't know if I can trust him, but one thing's for sure. He would be a great opponent.

Some ways away, the shrouded figure stood waiting to plot a move that would neatly fit the Saiyan's wish.

The new force descends upon the planet and the Z-fighters try to put together this puzzle. Who is this mysterious newcomer, how does he possess the power to resurrect, and most importantly, why did he concern himself with the Z-warriors? Find out in the next installment of Unlimited Power.
