Chapter 1

He walks down the hall kind of nervous not knowing where he is. This is a new arena for him. With the halls full of metal lockers and an eery silence he continues down to a door. He waits outside of it as a man peers out at him. The man has a nice smile on his face and a goatee to accentuate his age. He signals and the man enters.

"This is our newest student everyone. Go ahead and introduce yourself son." Says the man with the goatee. "Uh right." He turns to the large room of students. "My name is Son Gohan, and I'm honored to join you all here for my first day." This was a high school and Gohan was about to enter a world that no kind of training could have prepared him for… Being a teenager in high school. He looks around the class at his fellow students. They all stare in silence. Then out in the back, by an unseen teenager, "Oi! Look at the nerd!" Everybody laughs as Gohan puts his hand behind his head and smiles in all good sportsmen ship. "Now quiet down everyone! That's not a good way to make our guest feel welcome." It's OK sir! Obviously somebody has an issue with people smarter than themselves. There's nothing they can really do to offend me."

The class "Ooh's" at Gohans statement as if waiting for something to happen. The teacher raises his ruler and slams it on his desk. "That's enough! Now Gohan, if you'll find your seat we can get started." "Yes sir!" Gohan looks up at the mass of seats the students were in and looks for a spot to sit. He scans the area but it seems pretty packed when all of a sudden a bubbly blonde girl shouts and waves at him. "Yoo-Hoo! Gohan up here!" He looks at her direction and sees a spot right next to her. He quickly heads to it. As he runs up the side stairs a jock sitting near the edge sticks his foot out to trip Gohan. Gohan notices right away and thinks. "I could just jump over it and they'd all be impressed. Then again, I don't really care for much attention. I'll let him get away with it this time." Gohan deliberately trips on the jocks foot, dropping his books and stuff. The room laughs once more. "Uh sorry about that. I should really be more careful." "That you should nerd. Now get going before I make you lick the dirt from where you scuffed up my shoe." Gohan picks up his books and under his breath "Yea, good luck with that." "What the hell did you say?" "Uh nothing. Just sorry about that!" The jock stands up. "Maybe I should teach you a lesson!"
"Hey Zach!" A voice yells out. Everyone looks at the direction it came from. It came from a beautiful young woman, with ebony hair and blue violet eyes. She looked scrawny under her obnoxiously large shirt, but Gohan could feel she was tough and stronger than anyone other than him in the room. "Leave the new kid alone. Don't be such an asshole!" "Ms. Videl! I will not tolerate such language in my class! Now everyone take a seat before I take drastic actions!" They all respond with a quick sorry before they all take their seats. Gohan sits next to the bubbly girl and she whispers to him. "Hi Gohan! It's great to meet you! I'm Erasa!" With a big cheesy smile on his face he greets back. "It's a pleasure Erasa." "Oh and this blondey that's looking all "cool" is Sharpener. He's the leader on all the athletic teams. I'm sure if you'd ask him he'd let you join!" Sharpener leans forward and joins in. "Not likely. We don't need any scrawny nerds joining any of our teams. Sorry nerd boy, but you'll have to sit it out." He leans back as Erasa hits his arm. "God Sharpener, why do you got to be such a dick?"
"Is everything alright back there?" The teacher interrupted. "I'm sure we'd all love to hear how Emperor Nero set Rome on fire another time." "Uh no sir. Sorry. Just got excited about the new kid is all." She scratched together. "Well then, can it wait till class is over? Because we have a lot to cover." "Uh yes sir! Sorry sir!" The teacher went back to writing on his chalk board. Erasa itching to talk pulls out a piece of paper and writes as fast as the wind during a hurricane and hands it to Gohan. "Forget about Sharpener, he acts cool, but he's really lame. Anyway, you see that girl staring at you, next to Sharpener?" He looks up to see what she's talking about and sees the ebony haired girl staring him down. He grins and waves, and she sort of snarls at him. He picks up his pencil. "Yea, she saved from that goon earlier. Who is she?" A pager beeps at the front of the class as the teacher halts his teaching. He pulls out his pager to read it. His face mixes with excitement and franticness. "OK class, you're all dismissed! My wife is in labor! I have to go!" The class cheers him on as he runs out the door. Everyone gets up, even Gohan as he is stopped by Erasa.

"Where d'ya think you're going? We just started talking!" He sits back down. "OK then." She smiles and without looking reaches behind her and grabs her ebony haired friend. "Anyways this is Videl. And you're not going to believe who her father is!" "Erasa please!" Videl pleaded. Her friend just looks at her and smiles. "Who's her father?" This time Sharpener joins with more enthusiasm. "Why he's none other than the great hero of the world, Hercule Satan!" Videl looks away in embarrassment and somewhat anger. "Oh great, now he'll just wanna get with me because of my father" "Oh… OK." Videl turned back at his reactions, and the other two just stared at him with surprise in their eyes. "Just 'OK'? No, 'Oh my God, no way!' or 'Oh Videl you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in the world, will you get this signed for me?' Nothing?" Videl questions with a growing intensity. "Hey I said that only onc-" Sharpener begins but he's silenced by Erasa's finger. Gohan looks at them with confusion. "Yea. Just OK." "Erasa begins again, "Gohan… You do realize that this is the man that saved the world? From Cell!" Gohan draws a blank expression, "Yes I do, but that was seven years ago. I'm sorry I'm not super enthused by the fact that fraud still lays claim to that title of World Champion."

Erasa and Sharpener stare at him with eyes wide and jaws down. Videl clenches her teeth in anger. "What?" Asks Gohan. He thinks over what he said and realized he said that which need not be said. "Crap! I forgot I wasn't talking to the Z Warriors!" He looks at the seething girl, "Uh what I meant was-" A fist aiming for his face is thrown by Videl as Gohan moves out of the way. "How dare you say that about my father!" She throws a kick that misses as well. "Stop moving!" Gohan tries to explain, "Now hold on! I didn't mean what I said!" She tosses a desk at him. He grabs it as she punches through it and hits him in the jaw, causing his neck to slightly turn. She holds it there as the two blondes just stare. Gohan, whose expression has changed from his playful, innocent one to stern and threatening. He turns his head back towards Videl before speaking. "There. You hit me." His voice was low and cold. Even Videl had to admit that it almost scared her. She retracts her hand and holds it. "Geez! What the hell is your face made of? Steel?" In his same cold voice he responds, "Bone. Very strong bone." He turns from Videl and goes to get his things. In his friendlier voice he speaks to the two blondes, "It was nice meeting you guys. I hope we'll have lunch sometime." In shock Erasa speaks, "Uh, yea. Let's do that." Gohan walks down and to the door, with a blank face as he passes Videl. "Hey wait!" Videl calls after him. He turns very sharp and quickly and it sends a quick shift of wind that hits Videl in the face. She stops in her track. "My name is Gohan. I hope you learn it, and understand that there are things about me you will never know, but one thing I will tell you is that I meant no harm in what I said. Take it or leave it. I will see you in class tomorrow." He turns and leaves, leaving the three speechless.

"What… The Fuck… Just happened?" Sharpener questions. "He just took a punch from Videl. I've seen what happens when that happens, shit, I know what happens, and the new kid just took it. Videl were you holding back?" She stays quiet as she nurses her hand. She looks at the door and her expression goes back to being tough. She looks back at her friend. "Of course I held back! Next time I won't. And he'll know what it's like to mess with me!" She laughs a similar one to her loud father, as she gathers her stuff. "Come on! Let's go. They walk out of the building and to a bare spot on the parking lot as Sharpener and Videl toss their vehicles down. "Hey Vi! Are you gonna join me and Sharpie at the mall?" Videl is about to answer as her watch goes off. "Yes captain?" "Videl! There is a hold up outside the bank on Charlotte and fifth! They are armed and extremely-" It goes quiet. "Captain! Captain!" She looks at her friends. "Sorry guys, not this time. Duty calls." She starts her engine and flies off towards the scene.

She arrives on the scene but the commotion has died down as the criminals are all bandaged up and in the back of the police strong car. She looks around confused. She goes to the chief, "Hey chief! What happened here? Who did this?" The chief almost looks stunned, "Oh Videl you should have seen it! This young man with glowing blonde hair and what seemed to be green eyes appeared out of nowhere! He stopped the enemies with what seemed to be a wave of his hand and it just- wow! You should have been here!" She looks at the large man like he was an idiot, "What the hell are you talking about? A man with golden hair and magic powers? You sound ridiculous!" The chief looks hurt, "But it happened. And you might know him! Yes! He was wearing a black vest, red pants and a white shirt with a Orange Star on his vest." She now looked at him with intrigue. "Red pants? Are you sure that he had blonde hair, and not a wig?" "Why? Do you know who it is?" Videl thinks about it, "I may. I can't be sure. Don't worry about it, I'll look into it." Without another word she gets back in her ship and flies away. "OK Gohan, you have caught my interest, now I want to know your secrets. And by God, I will find out."
