Chapter One

The English teacher was in the middle of a lecture when Satan Videl ran into class, halted, and apologized to her for being late. She then took her seat next to her friend Eresa.

"Hey girl," Eresa said casually.

"Hey," Videl replied just as casually and then turned to the young man next to her, "Hey Gohan."

"Hey Videl," Son Gohan smiled and replied.

Videl and Gohan are a couple now. After the World Martial Arts Tournament, the two had admitted their feelings for each other. Gohan had given up being Saiyaman to fight by Videl's side as himself. Occasionally there would be a challenge for Saiyaman that the two would answer together. Sometimes just Saiyaman or Gohan would answer and occasionally just Videl.

An hour into the class just Videl was called out and the teacher excused her quickly. About an hour later Gohan's communications watch went off. He answered it, thinking it was Videl, but instead he found the Police Chief on the other end. The Red Shark Gang had reformed and had come back. They had Videl and they wanted Saiyaman. He was excused by the teacher and then ran onto the school roof. He transformed into Saiyaman and took off.

"Come out Saiyaman! Or we'll break this girl's neck in two like a twig!" a member of the new Red Shark Gang yelled, as his comrade increased pressure on Videl's neck.

Videl was beaten very badly, barely holding on to consciousness, and was weakly fighting to stay awake and get free. She was loosing blood as rapidly as her consciousness.

'All my struggling, all my fighting, it's all in vain,' she thought as she began to drift into the blackness of unconsciousness, 'Gohan were are you? I need you!'

~~~~~~

Saiyaman landed and took a step backwards in surprise, as the gang divided into two, revealing that they indeed had Videl. It also revealed that their huge friend had his giant hands around her neck and was slowly squeezing it. Saiyaman growled low in his throat and his ki skyrocketed.

"Hey boys, we rubbed monkey man's fur the wrong way!" The member, the one that had spoken before, stated over his shoulder, "I think she's his girl!"

The entire gang started laughing.

"Enough!" Saiyaman roared.

"Shut up!" their friend roared at Saiyaman, "This girl is going to be dead unless you fight our boss!"

At that statement the whole gang went quiet. Suddenly Saiyaman growled as he felt a familiar, yet unfamiliar, ki land nearby. A older, more scarred version of his father appeared. There were other differences than the scars and age, as the stranger had a tail and a ki scanner.

"Greetings Gohan. I am Bardock, your father's father."

Saiyaman's eyes went wide as he heard this.

"You're supposed to be dead," he replied coldly.

"I was, but I came back, a few days ago, after I heard you were in love with a human. Now take that ridiculous bucket off your head eldest grandson!" Bardock ordered.

"Not until the girl is safe!" Saiyaman replied, "Then I will take the helmet off and willingly fight you!"

"The girl? Fine," Bardock replied and snapped his fingers.

The man, the one that had Videl in a choke hold, threw her toward him. Saiyaman caught Videl in midair and flew her over to the Police Chief.

"Please get her to a hospital," Saiyaman pleaded, "I ask of you, for her sake. I love her."

"Gohan, I already know you love Videl," The Police Chief replied and took Videl from him.

"I might be dead by the time Videl awakens and might never get the chance to do this in person," Saiyaman softly stated and produced a small package, "Would you give her this for me when she wakes up?"

The Chief nodded, took the package, and was soon gone from sight with Videl. Saiyaman turned to Bardock and took off his helmet.

"Now we fight!" He cried, threw his helmet at Bardock, who smacked it away effortlessly and charged.
