This is me deciding to attempt the Paparazzi Challenge set forth by Shadow 4146. I recommend reading the one by Crimsonwild called House of Cards. I got this on a poll on my profile but would you want me to write a fanfiction sequel to Dragonball Evolution which is a huge guilty pleasure of mine. Also let me make this clear: I like Hercule and any bashing of him in this story is strictly comic relief. I did watch DBZ on Toonami but I could not remember much of what happened after the Cell Games but Gohan going to school, the Great Saiyanman and it was to my frustration Hercule taking the credit though I think I had vague memory of Videl. I have read tons of Gohan in High school fanfiction so that is how I was able to recall of Erasa and Sharpner.
The Capsule Corporation, a corporation run by the Briefs family that is famous not only around the world not how the universe since unknown to the public they have extended its practices to the universe. In the headquarters a sharply dressed but muscular young man by the name of Gohan Son was not only a high ranking executive of the Capsule Corporation but a family friend of the Briefs. "Okay just sign here and everything will be in order." Gohan said handing a document to an alien wearing official looking attire.
This alien was a high ranking official of the intergalactic police force known as the Galactic Patrol, having an appointment there to purchase a large shipment of Capsules for the Patrol's use. Of course the Capsule Corporation had to work really hard with a secret section of the government that knew about the aliens on the planet to set up an intergalactic conversion rate to turn earth money into the currency of all the other worlds and vice versa.
The official finished signing the paper and Gohan gave him a receipt order, the official nodded thanking him and went out of the office only to stop at the sight of the angry Vegeta the Prince of the nearly extinct warrior race of the Saiyans and husband of Bulma Briefs the daughter of Doctor Briefs the founder of the Capsule Corporation. "What do you want?" Vegeta shouted angrily at the official struggling with the tie his wife made him wear over the fighting attire that was usually his default clothes. The official just ran away with the receipt order.
P"Sheesh kill off a couple species and now the universe thinks you're the bad guy..." Vegeta muttered, when they found out that Galactic Patrol were not happy to find the Saiyans on Earth but relented when they and the rest of their allies known as the Z Warriors told them that they were usually peaceful or at least they don't go around killing races (and had to reassure them that Vegeta's days of destroying races were over).
Gohan laughed as he watched this as he then went back to work. Just a normal day for them or at least what is normal to them. Then suddenly his phone got a call and he answered it. "Gohan..." said the worried voice Videl of his wife as of three years, not long after they had graduated High School who mostly worked at her job of the Capsule Corporation at home on her computer so she can be with their two year old daughter Pan.
The two did not get off to a good start when they met with Videl being mostly suspicious of her new friendly nerd classmate and of the mysterious golden haired vigilante but she warmed up to him and found out about his Saiyan Heritage of his family and friends plus that the vigilante was him. She could not beleive it when Gohan introduced him to one of his mentors and honorary uncle Piccolo especially since her mother told her scary stories of the infamous Demon King Piccolo before she died.
Gohan's desk was a family photo taken recently of Gohan, Videl, Pan who was in her father's arms, Gohan's brother Goten, Gohan's parents Goku and Chi-Chi and Gohan's grandfather the Ox King. Gohan was dressed in his old vigilante get up: sunglasses, a black martial arts Gi and a black leather jacket.
"What is the matter Videl?" Gohan asked concerned wondering what was worrying his wife so much...
*TTTP*
At that moment in a huge mansion in Satan City, Hercule Satan (having long ago legally changed his name to his stage name which he named after his old dojo) the reigning World Martial Arts Champion and saviour of the planet was at home watching his huge flat screen TV. He was channel surfing through the various news channels to see if there was anything related to him or any martial arts contests he was sponsoring and nine times out of ten. Earlier he was watching a minor Martial Arts contest that was won by Sharpner a student of his and an old high school classmate of his beloved daughter Videl.
He lost contact with Videl three years ago after she graduated from High School, they had an argument about all the fame and interviews he had been given and was questioning whether the fame of being the world's champion was warranted. Because he never thought that that she would even suspect he never actually beat Cell he waved her off. She moved out of the mansion after High School taking her possessions and the money from her personal bank account with her and Hercule believed she just needed some time and would be back one day. He actually did miss her and the mansion did not feel the same without her and the last few times he won the World Martial Arts Tournament he wished Videl was there to witness it. Despite not knowing where she was, she did actually send to him presents for Christmas, his birthday and Father's Day and she would send a note saying she hoped to see him one day which brought a smile to him and led to his idea that she just needs time before coming back home.
After feeling some joy seeing Sharpner smiling for the cameras as he held that golden trophy, he was great lad and he wondered if he could subtly tell Sharpner he would approve if he wanted to date his daughter. He thought he had tremendous potential as a future martial arts master which is why he took him on as an apprentice after he had left High School. Whenever he would ask Sharpner said that he had not seen or heard from Videl either but they guessed that she was working out her feelings for the young lad.
Skipping a few channels he paused when he caught a news channel that was showing a picture featuring a young woman in a shopping centre with a stroller that had a young infant girl in it. The girl looked just like Videl, stopping himself from changing the channel when he noticed this he put the remote down after turning up the volume as the reporter was talking:
"This was taken just a few short hours ago by one of our freelance reporters of a woman who bears a strong striking resemblance to Videl Satan, the daughter of Hercule Satan who has not been seen in the public eye for three years. The reporter said that he heard the little girl seen call the woman 'mommy', so is the hidden Videl Satan now a mother and if so then who is the father of the grandchild of our champion..."
One thing Hercule knew was that this must be related to why Videl has been missing for these few years and he was certain he will get to the bottom of this...
Coming up with Hercule legally changing his name to his stage name, that is actually something the late great Ultimate Warrior did (I was a huge fan of this guy from watching old WWF tapes and when I found that out I thought that was actually cool) If you want to know about the Galactic Patrol well another manga written by Dragonball's creator Akira Toriyama is Jaco the Galactic Patrolman which I really recommend.
