AN: I've been wanting to write a new fiction for ages and then it hits me! A Great Saiyaman fiction! When I decided to write one, I didn't know what type I wanted to do, action, romance, comedy; but I figured, what the hell, why not focus on all three? So I give to you, out of the top of my head, my very first Dragon Ball Z fanfiction.

- I am the Great Saiyaman -
It has been seven months since the end of Majin Buu. The whole world, no not just the whole world, the whole universe had celebrated the end of such a devastating monster. Even the great lords who looked over the universe and the lords above them also celebrated. The tiny, pink, molding monster was finally destroyed.
Only a month ago we wished that the Earth inhabitants' memory of the evil being was wiped away. We don't want them remember such a horrendous part of history.
After all that, I thought the Earth would be safe. I could go back to studying, and saving Satan City of people who dare do harm. I was so happy that my father was even granted a life! My little brother would have his father for the first time in his life, and my mother would have her husband back. I have to admit, I still felt horrible that my father had to sacrifice himself to save the Earth with the battle against Cell. Time has loosened the pain, but it still hovers there like an old wound.
All I care about now is making my family proud of me, succeeding in life as a scientist, and most of all, protecting the ones I care about most.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The alarm clock rang at 7:00 am on a Monday morning. Slowing, a hand peeked out from under the blankets and landed on top of the snooze button on the clock, only to quickly retreat back under the warmth of the blankets. Not too long afterwards, a teenage male slowly sat up, stretched, yawned and rubbed his eye.
Groggily, he shifted his blankets off of him and sat his feet down on the ground before forcing his willpower to get him to stand up. Slowly opening his still tired eyes, he walked over to his curtains to pull them back showing a cloudy sky. Frowning at the dark sky, the boy turned around, opened his door and walked out of bedroom and headed to the kitchen where he expected his mother to be.
He was right.
In the kitchen, making a huge breakfast for champions, was his mother. She was gracefully moving around the kitchen, setting up the table, stirring the food on the stove and washing up dirty cooking equipment that was only going to be used again soon.
The boy walked over to his mother, kissed her forehead then went to sit at one of the kitchen chairs and lay his head on the table.
"Gohan, keep doing that and you'll fall asleep, and if that happens, I'm going to give your breakfast to your father and brother." Chi-Chi said without even turning around for the stove.
Gohan quickly lifted his head off the table and widened his eyes as he took in a deep breath to stay awake.
"I'm up, I'm up, I'm up." Gohan reassured. Looking towards her eldest over her shoulder she saw him give her a large, toothy but very tired smile. This made her laugh softly.
"Is Dad and Goten still sleeping?" Asked Gohan as he tried to take a piece of toast only to be slapped on the hand of his mother. Seeing that she was still by the stove made him absolutely confused on how she knew what he was going to do that, let along hit his hand from across the room.
"Those two are already up, and knowing them, they are properly excising outside. I told Goku to get inside with Goten if it starts to sprinkle. I can't let him get sick, Goten has studies to keep up with, and if he gets sick, he can't do them as quickly. You know Goten Gohan, he will find any excuse to get out of studying. Remind me to slap your father on the head when he gets back for letting Goten go outside, trying to make him sick in the cold and let him avoid his studies." Chi-Chi glared down at her cooking before turning towards a bowl and pouring flour into before mixing it around. Gohan was thankful he wasn't the pancake batter at the moment.
Getting out of the chair, he went to his mother and rubbed her on the shoulders before she decided to light the batter on fire with her glare. Chi-Chi sighed and welcomed the rubbing.
"I'm going to have a shower now and come down to eat-"
"Not until you get your father and brother inside."
"-Get Dad and Goten inside before we eat." Gohan rephrased what he was about to say and kissed his mother on the cheek again. He then headed towards the bathroom.
After having a quick shower, brushing his teeth, quickly doing his hair, and getting dressed into his school uniform, putting on his watch, Gohan walked outside to get Goten and his father inside.
Even though the clouds were gray, the grass was slightly wet, Goten was furiously trying to beat his father in the amounts of pushups they were currently doing at a fast past. He was failing but that didn't stop him.
Goten was huffing and puffing and Goku was just smiling the entire time as they were doing the warm ups.
"I ... won't give ... up ... u-until ... I beat ... you daddy." Goten gasped out as he was struggling to keep up with Goku's pace. Goku just laughed as he switched to one handed pushups but keeping the same speed.
Gohan let out a laugh when Goten finally gave up five minutes later and dropped to the ground and tried to take in oxygen to fill his burning lungs. Goku just grinned and stopped as he got up and stretched his muscles. He then picked up Goten, who was still trying to catch his breath and walked over to Gohan. Said boy was leaning against their house.
Ever since Goku came back, he and Goten clicked right away. They were so similar, and they acted like Goku was not dead the whole time. Gohan was so happy that Goten and Goku were happily getting to know each other through-out the months. Goten wanted to do everything with his father, and Goku never said no to him simply because Goku wanted to be with his youngest too. Gohan has also reconnected with Goku the time where Goten wasn't dragging Goku everywhere. They were just one big happy family again, and that's the way it should be.
Before Goku and Gohan could make conversation, Chi-Chi yelled out that breakfast was ready making the boys run into the house and quickly sit down at the table. Before they could get into eating though, Chi-Chi screamed at Goku for getting mud on the floor from his boots and not washing his hands. Chi-Chi made Goku and Goten wash their hands. No germs or bacteria were going to be dinning at her table. Not now, not any day!
Quickly washing the dirt away from Goku's and Goten's hands, they dashed back to the table and started to eat away at the food. Gohan already started.
Chi-Chi, making herself a separate plate before calling the boys in, sat down in her chair and started to eat her food at a speed where she wouldn't choke to death. That couldn't be said the same to the other three. Goku, who had finished off half of his breakfast, noticed a plate of bacon. Quickly taking those, he ate it, only to make Gohan glare death into him. Goku didn't noticed and started to finish off his food.
Gohan also started to eat, but glared at his father the whole time so he wouldn't take anymore of his food. Not long after, they were done.
Finishing off the rest of his juice, Gohan got up and walked over to his schoolbag. Putting it on, he turned back towards his family. Time to get a little pay back from his father for eating his bacon.
"Mother, don't forget to slap Dad for trying to get Goten sick in the cold his morning and avoid his studies." Gohan smiled as walked out the front door and taking off into the air, hearing the distant yells of protest from his father as he heard his mother screaming at him with multiple sounds of metal hitting on skulls.
Pushing a button on his watch and switching his clothes out for the Saiyaman ones, he adjusted his helmet before turning up the speed and racing towards Satan City.
Satan City weather was fairing much better than the weather at Mount Paozu. It was still cold but there was more blue sky than clouds. Smiling, Gohan looked at his watch and saw that it was only fifteen minutes until the bell signaling that it was time to start classes. Landing in an alley way, he switched his clothing back to his school uniform and walked the rest of the day.
Nothing happened on the way to Orange Star High, and that alone put Gohan in a rather happy mood. Strolling through the gates, he headed towards the main building and noticed Sharpener chatting with some other guys in his class. Headed towards Sharpener, some of the other mates nodded and smiled over to Gohan. Sharpener grinned and wrapped his arm around Gohan.
Ever since the week after the whole Majin Buu accident, everyone started to really warm up to Gohan, and even though their memory was wished away from remembering anything about Majin Buu, they still treated Gohan the same. Gohan loved it, even though they still called him a nerd, but he knew that it was all in good fun.
"Yo yo yo, sup Gohan! Glad to see that you're looking rather snazzy in your uniform!" One of the guys, Jimmy, said to Gohan as tugged on Gohan's collar. Gohan just snorted and grinned.
Two weeks ago, Orange Star High introduced a system where every student was to wear a uniform. Many students had argued against it, but alas, they didn't have a say. For the girls, the uniform consisted of a white blouse, orange and blue skirt. Males were to wear a white blouse and grey shorts. Both genders had to wear an orange and blue tie. Even though they had made that every student was to wear the uniform, they could wear it whatever they wanted with it.
"Not looking too bad yourself Jimmy." Jimmy simply put on a smug look and probed up his collar.
"It's all for the ladies!" Jimmy grinned and Gohan just grinned.
"These stupid uniforms do no justice to my babies." Sharpener rolled up the sleeves and flexed his 'babies'. "Look at them, they're suffocating under this top."
"I know your pain man. What are the ladies going to look at now when they see me? I'm all covered." Clipper rubbed his covered abs with a disappointed frown.
Gohan really didn't care what he looked like. He simply wore the uniform. He wasn't that interested in changing the look. It was just okay with what it looked like.
As they laughed about the way they looked, and in some cases, moaned at the fact that they couldn't show off their muscles, two girls walked up to them.
Arms wrapped around Gohan. Curiously, Gohan looked over his shoulder and saw Videl smiling up to him. Smiling back, Gohan turned around and kissed Videl on the lips before picking her up and turning back towards the males of the group. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and held her close. Erasa went in between Jimmy and Sharpener and started to talk to Clipper, who was in front of her and started to talk about her weekend.
Erasa was wearing stockings underneath her skirt, Videl just wore knee high tights.
Leaning his head on Videl's shoulder, hugged Videl tighter, Gohan whispered into her ear. "How are you?"
"I'm okay." Videl leaned her head back onto his shoulder.
"Just okay?" Gohan raised an eyebrow.
"Buu's sweet tooth kicked in last night. He turned a few of our couches into candy and chocolate. When Dad found out this morning, he told Buu not to do that again and that the chefs would make him something if he got a craving. Then after that, he started to go on and on about being the world champion. I walked into the middle of that all." She sighed.
"Did he make you listen to all of it? Poor baby." Gohan laughed as Videl lightly slapped his arm.
"How very comforting of you Gohan. Anyway, after listening to his hero speech for so long, it gets rather boring afterwards. Blah blah blah I saved the world, more blah blah blah, I am the world champion and so on." Videl sighed as she rested her cheek on Gohan's head.
"Would you look at both of them? They're lost in their own little world!" The sound of Erasa's voice made both Gohan and Videl look up at their little group of friends. Seeing all of them looking at just the two of them made Videl glare at them and Gohan awkwardly smile at them.
"Well if you two are finished, class starts in five minutes." Sharpener walked right passed them and headed towards the stairs that lead towards the main building where their classroom was.
Clipper, Erasa and Jimmy soon followed. Gohan and Videl, with a simple peck to their lips peacefully strolled after them with their fingers intertwined.
Third period the group of friends had History. Erasa and Videl were half listening to the teacher and taking notes down about the Red Ribbon Army. Clipper and Sharpener were taking about hitting up the gym later and working on their biceps, and Gohan was falling asleep on the desk from boredom. Jimmy, being Jimmy, decided to drip some water out of his water bottle on Gohan's neck. Gohan shot right up in his seat and quickly wiped away the water before it rolled down his neck and along his back. Jimmy laughed in his hand to muffle it.
Gohan growled at him and rubbed continuously at his neck still feeling the cold of the water. Hearing Jimmy's laughter, Sharpener looked over to see what was happening. Putting together a sleep, angry Gohan that was rubbing his neck furiously and a laughing Jimmy who was clutching a bottle of water, Sharpener figured out what was happening and joined in laughing.
Huffing, Gohan looked away from them, and to the front of the room. Looking towards the board, he saw that the teacher had written on the board a few question they had to answer before the class was over. Cracking his stiff neck, Gohan picked up his pen and started to write down the answers.
"Need help?" Videl leaned over and asked Gohan.
"No need. I used to hear stories about them all the time from my father, then later, I read about them." Gohan said.
"I might need your help then." Videl lightly laughed before turning towards her own work.
Not even ten minutes later, Videl's communicator went off. She quickly answered. Gohan looked towards her, as did their other friends.
"Speak Chief."
"Videl! We need your help! We got a hostage situation down at the bank on Turtle Street! The ransom is at five million Zeni!" The chief of Satan City police department spoke in haste.
"On my way." Videl got up from her seat and turned off her communicator. Gohan looked up seriously at her as she nodded at him. She ran out the door. With a quick 'Bathroom' Gohan ran out of the room and followed her to the roof of their school. The teacher couldn't even get one word out.
"You know, after all this time, you would think Gohan would make up a better excuse." Sharpener whispered to Erasa. She only nodded.
Once both of them were outside, Gohan quickly pressed a button on his watch and changed his normal school uniform into his Saiyaman costume as Videl slipped on her gloves. They soon took off and flew side by side towards the scene of the crime.
"I still don't understand why you don't want to be Saiyagirl Videl. It would be awesome!" Gohan said. Videl just gave him a blank face.
"I don't want to look ridiculous like you. No offence." Gohan frowned and looked away from Videl.
"It doesn't look ridiculous. It's fashionable." He mumbled off. Hearing that, Videl laughed. Soon the sounds of sirens and flashing lights came into view. Taking a quick glance at each other, they both took off on their separate ways, knowing their game plan. Videl would get the information and stop whoever tried to escape, while Gohan took out everyone inside. Ever since they thought of the strategy to avoid competition between each other, it has been successful.
Videl headed straight for the front entrance to talk to the chief to hear the full details and Gohan headed straight for the roof of the next building.
Landing on the top, Gohan quickly ducked down and assessed the situation. Sensing ki, he noticed that there were at least twenty hostages and about seven men surrounding them. Gohan was about to take off and head the back way when a voice interrupted him from behind.
"Finally I get to met you, Saiyaman." Startled, Gohan quickly turned around, cursing in his head for not sensing life behind him, and saw that it was a middle aged man who addressed him.
The man with dark shaggy brown hair, glasses, was leaning against a pole with his arms crossed. He wore a suit with a tie that was complete with a lab coat. He was smiling at Gohan. The sun was hitting his glasses in a position where Gohan couldn't see his eyes.
Frowning, Gohan asked, "Who are you?"
The man's smile became a grin as his pushed himself off the pole and stood tall. "My name is of no matter, I just wanted to see you for the first time. Your work of ... Heroism, of this city has intrigued me. The way you are just able to fly in, take down what is in front of you without even breaking a sweat, create balls of light from your hands and also seem to be impervious of bullets."
Gohan's expression didn't change. He continued to frown. There was something off about the man that was putting Gohan on edge. Gohan didn't like it. Not one bit. As soon as the man took a step forward, Gohan tensed up almost immediately, making the man stop. Gohan soon noticed that the man had brown eyes. The man just gave a deep chest laugh.
Deciding to play along like a hero, Gohan replied, "It's always nice to have a fan."
"Yes, a fan." The man's grin faulted for a moment as his pushed his glasses back up the bridge of his nose. This was not gone unnoticed by Gohan.
Hearing gunshots and screaming made Gohan quickly turn around back to the scene of the crime.
"I shouldn't keep you Great Saiyaman. I'm sure those people down there need saving." The man grinned at Gohan. The teenager quickly took off and followed his plan to rescue the hostages without looking back towards the man in the lab coat.
The mysterious man followed Gohan's movement until he was out of sight before exiting the roof of the neighbouring building.
It was simple rescue. The villains were easily knocked out, the hostages were saved and everything was fine a dandy. He got praise from the Chief of Satan City Police and quickly took off with Videl by his side.
Half way back to school, Videl flipped over and looked to Gohan.
"So what took you so long to stop them?"She asked. Gohan, who was still wearing his Saiyaman costume, took a quick glance at her, before looking straight ahead again.
"It was nothing." He replied.
"Sure, it was nothing. Seriously, you expect me to take that Gohan? How long have you known me for?" She raised an eyebrow at him. Turning fully towards her, he laughed and rubbed the back of his helmet.
"Seriously, it was nothing worth noting down." He grinned.
"Whatever Gohan." Videl turned back around and not before long the roof of their school came into view. Landing, Gohan quickly changed his clothing back to his uniform as Videl dusked hers off. They soon walked back into class together, earning them jokes from their friends that they were making out. This earned a blush from both Gohan and Videl.
- I am the Great Saiyaman -
A/N: Before you ask or complain I have few points I would like to say:
1. No, I do not want to have Saiyagirl in this.
2. I like Saiyaman's helmet. It looks awesome.
3. Jimmy and Clipper? Oh those are just OC's I made on the spot so Gohan's little group of friends include more than Videl, Erasa and Sharpener.
4. Uniforms? Oh yeah! Uniforms are awesome! Why? Because. Actually it's because I grew up in Australia and we wear uniforms over here. Well from every school I've seen. There might be a school in Australia where we don't wear uniforms. Who knows. I have no idea how you people can pick a different outfits all the time.
excuse never gets old.
I just want to say that I haven't written a fiction in a long time, so excuse the fact that it may seem a little crap and short, but I had this idea for some time. I just needed to get it out, and get back into writing. I was hoping to hit 4,000 words or more, but this is close enough I guess. Hopefully I can produce more words next chapter. Until then, hope you enjoyed it!
