This story (From Chapter 1 onwards to around Chapter 10) has been amended numberous of times due to amendments of the names, grammars, and words. Those who read this story right now may find some changes a bit different than the old ones.
I am trying to re-write these old chapters to make it readable. I do not guarantee my English is better than before but at least I'm making it the best I can. I am not American and English is not really my native language. So please spare me if you find my words awkward.

I do not own any characters of DBZ.
[Don't read below if you do not want to know how long this story goes before reading my story. This is a bit of a spoiler.]
This is my first attempt to write and post officially of anime characters on the internet and yes, Gohan/Videl is my very first one as well. I'm a late watcher of DBZ even though I already knew about this anime since ages ago. Anyway, I always wanted to write a story version after Cell's defeat. Apparantly I find myself that Buu Saga does not suit what I am about to write so thus, this story does not have the existence of Buu. On the other hand, I may introduce some original characters enemies/allies throughout the story. This story has been separated into 3 parts (saga which you also named that). I know it's long but I can't help it. It's in my... DBZ Writer blood. =_= Some of the beginning and certain areas are more or less similar to the original story (since I don't want to spoilt a lot of parts which may turn out weird) but there would be some changes with my ideas put on it.
Please take note that this is my own version of DBZ. I do not own any of the characters.
The story, obviously, will focus quite deep on this favourable couple but beware of complicted and fighting scenes to be involved as I tend to write it like an adventure story. Another spoiler (which I already warned it above not to read here if you don't want to know spoiler); Gohan will have two identities aside from his origin - The Golden-Haired Warrior and The Great Saiyaman (Won't appear until the 2nd saga).
As I mentioned above, this story is going to be a pretty long one so prepare to have this story on-going for years. I had researched that many readers do not like the way I am planning because it seemed to be dragging it. But I want to take a try on a theme not only on romance but some action fights. I started this story a couple of months back which is around March-April of 2012 but I have yet written it all out yet. As of till now, I'm only on the second saga.
I am a new author so therefore negative comments may be welcome. But it won't affect the plot since it had all been planned out. My English is VERY VERY VERY limited. Forgive me if I used the same simple words over and over again. I might be using some incorrect verbs or grammars as well. I had read some old GV stories and I realized not many people are using the Japanese terms. I am a Japanese dub fan and I thought using it is fun. But as I kept on writing, I realized a lot of people complaining about the names and terms and thought I didn't even know how to spell their name properly. So... I decided to stay all in English except for some areas!
Chapter 1: The Golden-Haired Warrior
Peace has been going on for years since Cell games; that is if we don't count in the common crimes done by the humans like bank robberies, hijacking bus and etc. These 7 years have been awfully peaceful. Humans living in their homes, kids go to school, adults work and of course even the criminals continued to do their career of what that should be considered as a crime. It wasn't a major threat to Earth anyway. The legend of the Cell games were widely popular around the world but most people would prefer not to talk about it. Some even have forgotten about the terror monster that once wanted to destroy Earth. Except for our heroes who were involved in that game. But one particular person will not be able to forget it like a dream. That was the person who took down Cell with his last shot of Kamehameha, namely, Son Gohan.
If only the humans knew he was the true hero. Yeah like as if anyone would even believe a mere kid did that. It's even more unbelievable that the kid used to be a shy cry-baby who was afraid of even the tiniest thing. He wasn't just being brought up strict by his over-reacting mother but also pampered as well since the age of 4. He can't remember when he had started studying, like as if any normal parents would start having their son to study at that age? Speaking about his mother, she has never like her husband to love fighting and in fact, she really hates that. So she never like Gohan to take a habit from his father. True enough, the kid doesn't like to fight deep inside. He doesn't particular hates fighting since he still has Saiyan blood in him but probably he doesn't want to fight in the wrong way. As for his goal, he always wanted to be a scholar, probably being affected by his mother's motto every single day and night for him to be the very best, but it's not like he hates it. But soon, his life completely changed when his so-called related Saiyan uncle, Radiz, whom is the brother of Goku's, arrived on Earth and kidnapped him. Not only he was later rescued by Goku and Piccolo, he was forced to train in order to fight against the soon-to-arrive terrible Saiyans. He was able to grow stronger since then and able to show his true abilities. Whether if it's the story of Saiyans, Freeza or the Andriods or even Cell, these memories will always engraved in his heart. But Cell's story had the biggest impact on the boy whom he had blamed himself all the time for being cocky and caused his father's death. Even though he knew his father didn't blame him, the scar was not able to erase. But he knew he had to move on to support his mother and his later on brother.
"Gohan!" The voice of the most powerful woman on Earth travelled from the living room, or maybe it was the kitchen? He wasn't really awaken yet. "Wake up right now! We have to go to school and have your entrance registration today!" Ah, now then he could clearly heard her voice from the kitchen. He rubbed his eyes to wake himself up. But his eyes failed him or rather his brain that wants to rest more. Then the brain gave orders to the rest of his body, telling him to sleep more. His eyes went back to closing mode when suddenly, a crazy, loud, weird, music, came out of nowhere and entered into his sensitive Saiyan's ears, causing him to shriek in pain and forced to get up from his bed. "AHHHHHH! What the hell?!" he turned to see what the hell was that noise and his eyes focused on a chibi version of Goku, who was standing there, laughing at him while holding a weird looking trumpet device.
So that's the culprit… and again!
"Brother, you can't go back to sleep. You don't want to see the second stage of Mom's mood right?"
He blinked sleepily for a second before he sighed and rubbed his hair, not knowing what to reply back to his 7-year-old brother. This little cute boy who resembled Goku is Son Goten. He was born a few months later right after Cell games, a kid whom Goku had left before he died. He was made around one of the 9 days before Cell games. "When will you stop your way of waking me up with different kinds of methods, Goten? I'm going to deaf soon someday because of your playful methods!"
But the Chibi version of Goku just smiled sheepishly. "You're strong so you will be fine!"
The boy just knew exactly how strong his brother was and talked like it was nothing to him.
His smile was just too irresistible as he placed an arm and rubbed his hair. He couldn't bear to scold the little one. He was especially very lenient to him because he just looks so much like his dead father. He even took over Goku's cheerful personality. The only thing that they were different is the living environment between them. Goten just has more education than Goku who grew up in the mountains. "Maybe I should warn that playing pranks maniac not to give you anymore weird stuff." He pointed at the trumpet looking thing and was obviously talking about the prankster who lives at Capsule Corp.
He had finished doing his morning routine. After that, he opens his wardrobe and stared at the amount of clothes he had. Since today is his registration at Orange High School, maybe he should wear something formal. He took out his blue western suit out. Chichi probably will be glad about that. After wearing it, he stared at his reflection at the mirror. As if he looked cool himself, he made some weird poses before he steps out of his room and have his usual humongous breakfast prepared by Chichi.
Breakfast was done in a couple of minutes. Goten was told to stay at home alone where else the Saiyans mother will follow with her eldest son. She gently patted on Goten's head. "I've asked Trunks to come so you won't be bored." Just like Gohan, the mother was lenient to him. "Shall we go?" she turned to Gohan.
Gohan smiled and faced at the sky. "NIMBUS!"
Within a few seconds, the famous super speed cloud came flying from the sky.
"We're not going there by Nimbus. We're going by car!" said Chichi who threw a capsule on the ground, popping out a small red car. "Nimbus is too small for both of us and I want to have normal ride like HUMANS, if you get what I'm saying."
The teen laughed weakly at his particular mother who always wanted to stay as normal as possible. Goten, who was next to Gohan, hugged Nimbus to comfort the poor little cloud that seems to be disliked. Chichi had always wanted to stay low and normal as much as possible and that's why she wanted to Goku to have a driving license. But now that he's gone, she had to learn her own. Chichi usually sends her younger son to his school using a Jet Copter since her son hasn't learn how to fly yet. As for why she wouldn't allow him to ride on Nimbus, she finds it a dangerous toy for Goten to ride on despite knowing he is strong enough to even kick down a Dinosaur. She does, however, let him ride around the area but not too far yet. Well, being worried is just a nature of a mother.
While on the way, the teen felt his heart racing nervously. Since he didn't had any chance to attend school due to that there wasn't any school or city nearby at where they were living, he kept pondering what a high school life is. He was pretty nervous but excited at the same time. He used his brain and recalled the things he had read in books about schools. School is a place for not just study but can make plenty of friends, have fun, hanging out and maybe more. He really wanted to make his own friends because the people he knew are just friends of his father's. Today, well, it isn't going to be today since it's only for his registration. But he just got to wait a little while before he officially goes to school. His thoughts were filled up about the people he'll get to meet in the city when he suddenly sensed something further up and had his eyes rolled to the corner. Chichi suddenly stopped the car because there were cars ahead blocking for some reasons.
Something was definitely going on ahead. But because the place they stopped was just right opposite of where the problem was and that they were at the corner of a turning point of the mountain, it was easy to see ahead and opposite from where they were. Consider that he had better eyesight than ordinary humans, he spotted a few police cars with polices holding their guns aiming at a man ahead who seemed to be with a girl hostage.
"You are completely surrounded! Put down your gun and release the hostage!" said one of the police.
"I'm not insane. It would be wise that you surrender one of the cars and let me escape." The man, who seemed to be in his early thirties, threatened back. He looked quite muscular and dangerous though it looked weak to any of the Z-Fighters. But still, he seemed to be stronger than the police.
Chichi sighed and read the time on the display digital clock. Travelling to Satan City needs a long time and of all times, this just have to block their way. "I don't understand what the police are doing. How could they not have the power to stop these criminals from doing crimes?!"
Gohan chuckled as a joke but stopped when he sensed his mother's infamous glare. "We don't have time to waste so go and settle this instant! But make sure you won't be recognized okay? You don't want the whole media to be coming after you, right?"
The teen nodded with a face of understood. He had himself transformed inside the car before he got out. It was lucky that there weren't any cars behind him so he managed to hide his identity. He faced ahead and flew right to the scene immediately. The police were just thinking up of a solution when a man suddenly appeared behind the criminal, just after a blink of an eye. All of them had their eyes big. As for the criminal, sensing that the police was weird, he turned back, only to drop his jaws in surprised. Where did this guy appear from?! He thought and retreated a few steps away from him while having his gun aiming at Gohan while another arm grabbing hold of the girl. "W-Who the hell are you?!"
The police were all as surprised as he was.
The teen ignored his question but stay calmed, except that he had his eyes fixed with a glare at him. He would prefer not to harm people if possible. "Release her immediately or you'll regret it."
Feeling that it was a joke, the criminal laughed. "How funny! You better stay out of this or you'll be the one to regret it!"
His threat was obviously useless to the Saiyan. Seeing that this man does not heed his advice, he had to do what he has to do. He used his speed and a step to reach to that man, which obviously to a human's eyes that seemed like a teleportation. The criminal was stunned of that speed that he fired at the teen in panic.
All audiences had their eyes shut after hearing the sound of a fun continuously. Then, it stopped. All eyes opened again. To their amazing shocking reaction, they see the criminal on the ground with his eyes spinning around as if he just got knocked out. They also noticed that the hostage was in the arms of the mysterious guy.
Slowly, the teen let the girl down whose face was flushing red. He didn't know she had such reaction but he just left the scene before the police can catch him to ask questions he won't be able to answer. He had himself hide to the nearest forest that was near the mountain, turned back to his normal state, and quickly rushed back to the car.
"You should have knock him off the moment you had the chance." Whined his mother while she starts driving further up as the path was free to drive again. But at some point, they were stopped by the few police officers earlier. One of them had their head down to reach the driver seat. "Did you guys just witness a guy with his hair gold? He saved the hostage but left immediately, and we are wondering if you know any of his features."
The teen noticed his mother was more than just normal mad and cut in. "I'm afraid not, sir!"
The police stared at the teen for a moment. "I think he wore a similar suit like you are… but your hair…"
Chichi finally burst. "We are in a hurry and stop delaying us!"
As the police was shocked by her reaction, he moved back and allowed them to move on. Chichi drove away immediately and for once, it was thanks to Chichi that no more questions needed to answer.
The police are definitely weak and just too weak that drives that woman mad. She was even stronger than them and she could probably also settle this her own. Even though there aren't aliens trying to take over the world, these cops were just too weak to even catch a normal criminal!
As the car drives on further, a yellow helicopter was spotted on the air before it slowly lands on at where the criminal was just captured. Someone stepped out of the copter and a girl wearing white shirt and tight spandex pants had her hands on her hips. Her hair was tied in pigtailed with gold clips. Her brows pulled together and was simply confused about something yet serious. She seemed like a very important person though she looks not any younger than Gohan. Her eyes moved around the scene and made her way to one of the officers. "Where is that criminal?" she questioned him.
"Oh Videl, you were a little late. He has been caught and is in the car right now. We're about to bring him back to the station."
This time, her brows raised in surprised and then a quizzical stare. "H-He was caught that fast?"
The girl whose name was called Videl finds how surprising that they managed to catch him this easily. Because as far as she understands, the police has never broke their record of catching a criminal within 20 minutes. They usually managed to catch more than that if she is not around. This time, it was too fast.
It was then the office respond gained her interest. "It was a young man with golden hairs who helped out. He was wearing a blue suit though. He just appeared out of nowhere and helped out and knocked out the criminal, then left. We don't even have the time to thank him."
Golden hairs. The description definitely rings a bell. She could clearly remembered the mysterious people from the Cell games that happened years ago. A few of them did have their hairs in gold. Or is just a coincidence that this guy just had his hair dyed? Because it wasn't really unusual for people to dyed their hair blond these days. Her thoughts about the guy were about to disappear when the police continued. "These days there aren't any businessmen around this area and there was one guy wearing a similar blue suit in one of the cars which we had questioned." Such an odd coincidence made her eyes twitched. "He may be the same guy right? Why didn't you stop?"
"Well the driver was a lady who seemed to be rushing for something and besides, the guy's hair is black. Although he seems a bit young to be an adult."
Her fingers placed under her chin while questioning herself. The police was right about something. First of all, it's rare to have business people hanging around in a distant area from the city like here. And even there are, the numbers are very low. Yet, the person described in the car was a young guy? The guy with Gold hairs also wears a suit too! To add more, the percentage of wearing long sleeves under the hot sun these days is extremely low. But how does that explain with the hair colour?
One thing for sure, she wants and eagers to know who this Golden hair guy.
…
After registered his name, the teen was given a few set of exams in all subjects. English, Japanese, History, Physics and etc. Since it was just to test his knowledge, the questions weren't that a lot and he had plenty of 4 hours to get all subjects done. But it was just too easy for the teen that he completed within an hour. Since his results will only be revealed by tomorrow, he has to make a trip back the next day to collect his papers. Chichi had long gone for her shopping around the city and had asked Gohan to go back himself after finishing his entrance exams. But seeing that he has plenty of free time, he decided to take a small tour around the school. But then again, he was afraid of getting lost. Thus, he left the school by flying off the sky, forgetting that he should refrain himself from being seen. But usually no one will bother to look up to the sky when the weather seemed to be hot these days. It was then he felt a familiar ki coming ahead of him.
It was easy to sense who this ki belongs to.
The person stopped in the air. "Hey, Gohan." Krillin had already sensed the teen. His eyes widened a bit and smiled. "Wow, you're wearing a suit under this weather?"
"Is it weird? I think I gave a pretty good impression to the teachers." He laughed weakly and asked. "So what brings you around the city?"
The used-to-be-bald monk had a light blush planted on his cheeks and smiled in bliss. "Shopping new clothes for my wife. She got bored wearing the same clothes every time."
Gohan could tell his friend is truly happy despite his wife seemed kind of cold to the rest. But he was glad because his friend had his married wish come true and with an additional family added in as well. It was then he decided to tease him. "Glad that you're happy with your wife. Dad used to tell me you're really short and how will the girls like it or not."
Krillin closed his eyes in anger with a little anime-like madness. "Is me being short a joke for him only?" But he quickly jumped the subject. "Someday, you'll meet your right person. Say, with your looks, I bet you're going to be popular around the girls. You're going to high school soon right?"
The teen blinked awhile… dumbly. But of course, he wasn't like Goku who completely knows nothing about girls or marriage before he married Chichi. Still, he hasn't had any experience knowing a girl his age yet when all his life were dedicated to studying. Love? He just simply had zero experience in it. "I'm not sure if I am prepared for that yet."
"I bet you will!" His friend sent him an eerie stare. "I bet you'll meet a girl soon in your school. But if you really don't have anyone that you like, maybe I'll find someone to introduce you."
His suggestion seemed awkward for the teen to think that as a joke. He doesn't even understand much about girls except his mother and Bulma. They're the only females he knows the best and… they aren't exactly the gentle types like he had read in books about girls. Now when he think about girls, he just hope there aren't going to be girls just like the both of them.
…
The next day, Gohan was able to get up early for once. He had his breakfast quick and headed off to school using levitation, since it was faster. But while he was on his way almost reaching the school, an incident arise again and this time, two men have kidnapped a boy whose father seemed to be extremely rich. He stopped in the air and noticed a few police cars chasing after an old rented green car that was driving in crazy and reckless speed. It wasn't hard to tell that there were 2 people in the car since one of them had his arm out of the window with a gun, shooting the police at the back.
"DADDY! DADDY!"
The boy seemed like about only four. Crying non-stop, he had hoped a rescue from his father. His father was in one of the police cars, desperately chasing after the kidnapper for his son.
"SHUT UP!" One of the kidnappers hit the boy's head. "You're getting on my nerves!"
The teen was at the sky at the right view to see what was happening inside the car. Anger just boiled up his blood when he first recalled about the memory being kidnapped by his uncle. He had a flashback how his father and Piccolo arrived and tried to fight against the Saiyan but it was tough. Although he had lost conscious back then, when he learnt the news that his father died trying to save him makes him mad. He doesn't want the same thing to happen. This boy is just like the old him.
To cover his identity, he once again transformed to Super Saiyan. Without warning, he landed himself on top of the rented car and blast the top with his ki to create an exit, between his legs. The car obviously had a huge hole on top and Gohan had already floated back up in the sky, with a pair of anger eyes. The two kidnappers stared up in shock after this guy appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the cover of the car. One of them dropped their gun in shock in the process and released the boy from his arms while the other one continued to drive desperately, hoping to escape away from this guy. But Gohan managed to fly in, grabbed the boy with him and flew up to the sky within a few seconds. Then, he formed a ball of ki and send it to one of the wheels, destroying it and flattened it, giving the car a huge screech before it stopped and crashed at the corner of the road near the rail.
This becomes the second time he had helped the police but not within his intention. It was just to save someone. The kidnappers were instantly captured by the police and the boy had returned to his father happily after he released the boy to the ground.
He brought up a smile to see the boy returned to his father and was about to flee when a policed stopped him. "Hey, thank you for saving the boy. You had helped the police twice with your unbelievable powers. Just who in the world…?"
He didn't want to reason with them but it would be rude not to respond. "I feel that helping people is the right thing to do, nothing more nothing less." He was afraid that if he had stayed longer, his face would be exposed to the public soon. Who knows if some people might recognize his normal state too? Without continuing, he flew up to the sky and left.
"Wait… V-Vi… el… wants… to…"
Gohan had flew too fast that he failed to capture the message what the police was trying to tell him.
It took the teen to reach the school within 10 seconds. He collected his results and was proud he got full marks for all of that. Of course, he got praised by the Principal and teachers and even think he should be placed in the best class… that is if exist a class like that in an average public school. There are very few students who get high marks in one paper since the school marks paper strict.
He left the school by flying again and somehow, he passed by the same area where he had saved that boy earlier. He stopped in air and looked down. He noticed the police were all still there for some reasons but what caught his eyes was that someone else was with them. Someone not wearing a police uniform but a simple shirt and tight pants. There was a girl among them. Yeah right, a girl? But what is a girl doing with the police? Her face seemed mad, for some… reason. But since his hearing was better than ordinary people, he could hear the conversation and… he was particular interested in that girl somehow.
"Why can't you try to delay him for just a few more minutes? Arg! Just who the hell is that Golden-haired guy?! He saved, helped and left? Just like that?"
Well it wasn't hard to realize that she was talking about him.
"Don't ask for the impossible. He's too strong and he can fly! How am I supposed to stop that?"
The girl growled in frustration. "Whoever you are I'm going to find out about you! If you're this strong, then I'm going to see you myself!"
Uh Oh. He gulped. Now he has to be extra careful about this one. He hasn't got a clue why she seemed eager and tough but it's not like they will see each other again. And yes, he hoped he'll never have anything to do with her… for the best. That is… if he can fight against fate.
