The rain hammered from the sky, like and endless flood from a waterfall. Puddles formed on the ground, almost the entire size of the streets the rain had fallen in. A young man slowly walked through the puddle, the water splashing below his feet. HE slowly walked took a turning in the street and looked down an alleyway. He slowly stopped, noticing something of a slightly discomforting sight happening. All that could be seen was a woman lying on the ground and three men standing over her, laughing evilly.

"Stop resisting, luv!" shouted the first man of the three

The second slowly smirked as he pulled out a knife "Yeah, I don't really want to spill a woman's blood tonight!"

The third just started to laugh, but it was cut short as he started "This is great! I haven't had so much fun in a loAGH!"

The man fell to his knees, making a big splash in the puddle. The other two quickly looked at their companion then to the tall man in a trench coat and hood.

"You're going to regret that!" shouted the man with a knife as he ran at the shadowed figure.

"I believe you are the one who should be in regret…" he said in a calm and subtle voice as he hit the knife from the man's hand. The blade shot past the first man's head and cut his left ear off.

"Ah! You bastard!" he shouted, grabbing his ear in pain.

The shadowed figure then grabbed the arm of the, now unarmed, rapist and snapped it along the elbow. The man yelled out in pain as he let go, just as the man went to fall to the ground the shadowed man jabbed him on the forehead at lightning speeds. Both the still standing men seemed to instantly crush into a wall of the alleyway and fall to the ground unconscious.

The woman tried to cover her chest and backed away from the shadowed man "G-get away from me! Please, don't hurt me!"
The shadowed man slowly took off his trench coat with hood and handed it to the woman. "Put on…" he said slowly and quietly "And run home… It is not safe for a woman to be alone at night in a city like this."

The woman quickly put the coat on and burst into tears, hugging the tall man. She repeated two words over and over "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" as she hugged him tightly.

"Please.. Go home…" he said, as tears from the woman's eyes ran down his bare scarred chest "I will make sure you are safe…"

The woman slowly stepped back and dried her eyes "Thank you again… But what is you're name?" she said, wanting to at least know the name of her saviour.

"My name is not of use, young lady, but if you need to call me something, then call me the unknown hero…"

The woman slowly let off a weak smile then walked off down the street with the man, actually only being two streets from her home. After she got to the door, she was about to thank him one final time, but he had disappeared.

"It was amazing, mum!" shouted a young boy "They said the man managed to beat the men up with ease then he gave the woman his coat so she could get home!"

A woman with green hair looked up at the boy from behind her newspaper "Yeah, I heard about it, Tai.. It's in the newspapers, too!"

The boy jumped up and punched the air "It's so awesome! I'm gonna tell dad!"

The woman slowly smiled "Tai, I don't think that would be such a good idea.. Dad's training and you know how he doesn't like to be disturbed when training."

"But mum!" shouted Tai

She slowly smiled "Tell you're brother or sister, they might be interested."

Tai nodded "Great idea!" he ran off toward the kitchen to tell them the news.

The woman chuckled and started to read the newspaper again "He's been so energetic, lately…"

Tai kicked open the kitchen door and shouted "TRUNKS, BULA! I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU!"
Both of the half Saiyans jumped at Tai's sudden burst into the kitchen, Bra spilling her drink on Trunk's top.

"Aw man! That was my favourite shirt!" Trunks said as Bra grabbed some tissue and started to apologize.

Trunks slowly sighed "It's ok, Bra.. It's not like you done it on purpose."
Bra shook her head "Still, I'll make dad get a new one, you know how he can't say no to his little girl!"
Trunks slowly chuckled "Yeah, you got that right!"
Bra also laughed "I'll go now, sorry again." she slowly walked out the kitchen and looked for her dad to get some money.

Almost as soon as the door closed behind Bra, Tai jumped onto Trunk's back "Brother Trunks! I have something cool to tell you!"

Trunks fell forward from Tai's jump, landing on the floor "What now, Tai..?" asked Trunks, knowing he would soon regret it.

Tai slowly got off his brother's back and sat on a chair "It was on the news today! Someone helped a woman last night! She was getting attacked and the man managed to beat them up and gave the woman his coat so she could walk home. It was amazing; in the interview with her she said he had superhuman speed and strength! She also said he called himself 'The Unknown Hero'!"

Trunks slowly blinked and got to his feet "You sure that it's all true? When something like that happens you might just imagine someone being able to do that."

Tai slowly frowned "I aint lying! Why wont you believe me!"

Trunks slowly put his hand on Tai's left shoulder "Calm down, I'm just saying it might be exaggerated a little…"

Tai slumped a little and looked at the floor "Yeah, I guess you could be right. But I still think that it was someone that was super strong and super fast! It might have been another Saiyan!"

Trunks slowly blinked "I don't think it would be a Saiyan, Tai.. Anyway, I'm going to go for a fly, I need to go see Goten."

Tai slowly watched Trunks walk out the kitchen until the door closed behind him. He then stood up from the chair walked over to the fridge, getting himself a chocolate bar. "I'm sure it's all true.. And I'm going to find out!"

He ate the bar in one go and ran out the kitchen, dropping the wrapper. He then went to his room and grabbed his video camera and smirked "I'll get evidence, then they'll have to agree with me!"
Trunks flew past Tai's window, toward the sunset, waving to Tai. He slowly waved back, hiding the camera behind his back.

"Time to find out the truth, it's nearly dark!" He then climbed out his window and snuck into the city, in search for the hero he was so curious about.
