A/N: Hey everyone! as promised, here is the first chapter to the Gohan/Zangya fic. Just like my other fic, I'm hoping I can upload a chapter weakly but no promises since anything could happen. Reviews are always appreciated and if anyone has any ideas on how this story could be better, feel free to let me know by review or pm. Thanks and hope you enjoy the first chapter of "Let's be friends."
Everyone at the Intergalactic space tournament including Chi Chi and Bulma were horrified of the events that were transpiring. What should've been a fun tournament quickly became a fight for survival. Chi Chi and Bulma were more worried about their sons who were in the middle of this altercation and ever since Hercule took down the transmission, nobody knows what's been going on out there.
"You can do it boys" whispered Bulma mostly to herself as all she could do was hope for the best.
Outside of the arena, the ground began to shake violently as Gohan ascended above the first level of super-saiyin. Bojack grew worried as he felt the teens power rise more and more. "Bujin, Bito" he said signaling them to restrain him.
The two Hera's appeared opposite of one another with Gohan between them. With smirks they began using their psycho thread technique, but were surprised when they realized that it was ineffective. They rushed to attack him, but with one swift kick and mighty blow, they were both quickly obliterated.
With a serious expression, Gohan looked to the two remaining Hera's. He could see the fear in the female Hera as her look gave it away, but his attention was focused on Bojack who still had a smirk as he moved behind her.
Gohan quickly realized what the space pirate was planning and immediately phased out of view.
Bojack, as a way to surprise the teen, pushed the Hera and followed it with a powerful blast that would certainly kill her.
Zangya had no time to react or even think about what was happening. She could feel the heat of an energy blast behind her and for a moment, everything went blank. She gently opened her eyes and found herself being held by the same boy that she was trying to kill mere minutes ago. She wanted to break away from his arms, but immediately felt a burning sensation in her back. To her surprise, she was gently put down on the ground as the young warrior turned to the being that nearly killed her.
"Coward, you were willing to kill your own just to get what you want?" asked Gohan, angry that such an act was made.
Bojack laughed at his question, "She's worthless anyway" with that said, he powered up to his super hera form and fired another blast. To his satisfaction, his attack hit his target, but he was shocked when the smoke cleared out revealing the boy unharmed. "I will kill you!" he screamed as he sped towards him.
Gohan not concerned remained in his position, and when the tyrant was close enough he punched him penetrating his abdomen.
Bojack's spine began to shiver as he could feel the end. "You fool! Any last words before you die?" he focused his remaining energy into his ultimate attack and prepared to fire.
"Actually Bojack, there is one word that comes to mind." He cupped his hands to his lower side and a blue aurora began forming, "kame-hame-HAAAA!" he fired his blast which engulfed the space pirate's attack with ease and finished him off in the process.
Lightning and thunder rained down on the island. Zangya witnessed the boy kill bojack, the person she feared her entire life. Her heart began to race as she realized that she was the last remaining Hera. She noticed that he powered down and fell to the ground once it was over. She knew that he was in no shape to harm her at the moment, but she couldn't say the same thing for his friends who would arrive at any minute and kill her as well. She took this opportunity to fly away as far from the island as she could. She had no idea where she was going, but all she knew was that she needed to get away before she met the same fate as the rest.
Gohan woke up to find himself in a hospital bed. He noticed that nearly his whole body was bandaged.
"Oh good, you're awake."
Gohan turned and smiled when he saw that the voice came from his mother.
"How are you feeling?"
"Little soar, but relieved that its over."
Chi Chi smiled, "Well I'm glad to hear that you and Trunks are ok."
He turned to the side and saw Trunks who was also in a hospital bed and everyone else sitting in a chair. He could sense Vegeta and Piccolo outside. He was about to comment on their situation, when Krillin grabbed everyone attention and turned towards the t.v where the news was talking about the attack.
"We are here at Battle Island where just this morning a tragedy had taken place when five terrorists who were not the intergalactic fighters, attacked the finalists. Despite the massive destruction to this island, only eight lives were lost. No footage of the end of the battle was recovered but to our knowledge, it has been revealed that today's menace was stopped by none other than the savior himself, Mr. Satan who was also in attendance. We will now take you to the press conference that was held today about the recent menace.
The image on the screen changed to a press conference that was being held by the sponsor of the tournament, chief officer, and Hercule himself. In the background, everyone could hear the chants of a crowd screaming, "Mr. Satan!" over and over. One of the reporters stood up, "First of all Mr. Satan, I would like to personally thank you for saving us from those tyrants. With that said my question is 'how did you defeat those terrorists?"
Hercule immediately started laughing, "It was easy actually, one dynamite kick to their leader and then the rest tried to run in fear. Of course they didn't get far."
Hearing this, the crowd went wild as they shouted his name louder than ever.
Another reporter stood up, "Mr. Satan, is it safe to say that we'll never see any of those attackers again?"
"Hear me when I say this" began Hercule, "I guarantee you that no one will ever see those weakling again."
The final reporter stood up, "is there any news on the finalists that were a part of this tournament?"
The chief officer decided to answer this question, "unfortunately one of the finalist died during the attack, but the other three were safely taken to the hospital and are expected to make a full recovery."
Hercule, letting everything go to his head decided to add to this statement, "those three fighters were lucky that I made it there in time, I'll be expecting a 'thank you' from them soon.
The crowd continued to chant for their hero, and Mr. Cash took this moment to speak, "well I believe I speak for everyone when I say 'thank you for saving us yet again.' In gratitude for such heroic deed and since the tournament was never completed. It would be an honor if you accepted the money." As soon as he said that, two ladies brought a huge check and Hercule's jaw dropped after seeing all those zeroes on it.
After a few seconds of daydreaming with the money, Hercule regained his composure, "well if it will make everyone happy then I will accept it."
For the third time, the crowd erupted as Hercule took the check and began posing for the camera.
"And there you have it folks-" began the reporter on the screen, but was quickly silenced when Chi Chi threw a cup at the t.v completely shattering the screen. Everyone turned to her and saw that she had a look of disgust.
"My son nearly died facing those aliens, and this bafoon takes all the credit?"
"Easy there Chi Chi" began Bulma, "Isn't it beneficial that he takes the attention from us?"
"yea, but to outright expect a 'thank you' from my son when he was the one who saved his life?"
"Mom?..." said Gohan getting her mother's alongside everyone else's attention. "Is it true that every one of them died?"
Chi Chi looked at him confused, "Of course, Trunks killed one of them and you got rid of the rest."
After a few moments of silence, Krillin was the one to ask, "you did kill all of them right?"
Gohan remained silent for a moment, "I don't know…" he finally answered.
"What do you mean you don't know?" asked Chi Chi
"I know I killed Bojack and two of his goons, but I remember he was about to kill one of his own by using her as a distraction to hit me, which would have killed her in the process."
"You saved her?" asked Bulma.
"I think I did" responded Gohan.
Now Tien was the one to talk, "so if you didn't kill her and none of us saw her than that means that she must've fled the scene."
"So you're telling me that one of them is still out there?" asked Trunks.
"We have to find her" commented Yamcha.
Gohan, seeing them in agreement decided to intervene, "guys, I doubt she will do anything. I remember the look she had before all of that happened. She was terrified."
"Even if that's the case, we still have to find her. We can't take any chances" responded Tien.
Everyone agreed that they needed to at least find her and know that she was going to be harmless.
Outside of South City, Zangya landed on a hilltop. She looked down on the city and took in the bright lights, streets, and buildings. Everywhere she turned to there was a multitude of people. She hoped that hiding in the middle of an insanely populated city would mask her ki signature. She descended into the middle of a dark alley where she couldn't be seen. She took a deep breath and joined the multitude of people.
Every now and then, she would catch someone staring at her which made her nervous that maybe they would recognize her from the earlier attack. To her fear, at that moment she saw a crowd ahead looking at a few televisions that were behind a glass window. She was more nervous than ever when she saw that all the t.v's were on the same channel which was the news station who were talking about the attack. If an image of her was shown she would be done for. The crowd watched as images of the damage that was made were being shown. What caught her attention though, was when the reporter went to a press conference and a man who she hadn't seen was taking all the credit. For a moment, she could feel her blood boil when that man claimed that he single handedly took them down with ease. She decided to continue walking as it became evident that they didn't have any pictures of the fight. If she was going to hide out over here, she was going to have to do what everyone else does. She sighed and began looking for a place in the city to start her new life.
