Triple identity chapter 1
A tall, black haired teen was lying on his bed uncomfortably with his eyes on the ceiling, thinking thoughtfully. He was…afraid. But why? Why was he afraid of something that's so normal? In his life, he had faced multiple threatening situations, traveled to other planets, fought against intergalactic tyrants and had already taken out more lives than serial killers do.
And yet…
The answer was quite simple. He had never had a normal life. At a young age, before he even reached puberty, he had chosen to become a fighter and saw his father die twice, seen his mentor sacrifice himself, and saw numerous other things that most kids during that age would find to be traumatic. He was used to it now. He knew neither his father nor his mentor even regretted about their decision to sacrifice themselves for others. But it didn't make his live normal by any means.
Three years ago, when he was fifteen, Bulma Briefs, his godmother and owner of the Capsule Corporation, had convinced Gohan's mother that working at CC would help with his studies. His mother had agreed and Gohan started a small internship. It was common knowledge in the world that CC had multiple departments, ranging from clothing to literally, and even weapons. CC was into everything that could be legally made. In less than two years, Gohan had used his intellect to not only gain respect from his peers, but also work his way up in one of the most difficult department: The Research and development department. This department did exactly what its name suggested. They researched whatever they needed to and then made plans to develop it. After the previous department director decided to retire, the employers started to vote for Gohan to be the head of the R and D department. A few months later, Gohan had won over sixty percents of the votes. He was truly the youngest and most respected employee of the CC and through some miracle Bulma had actually managed to keep it quite so he could live a normal live, not bothered by the press.
Now, at age eighteen, Gohan had almost everything guys of his age dream of. And he was still the strongest fighter in the universe.
'Well', he thought, 'seven years ago, I was the strongest. Maybe Vegeta has surpassed me by now. After all he never stops training and all I've been doing these last few years is studying and working.'
It was true. Vegeta had reached the second level of Super Saiyan about a year after the defeat of Cell. Vegeta had never told anyone how he had reached it, but Gohan noticed it was around that time that Trunks, Vegenta's son, had first become able to walk on his own. He suspected it had something to do with that. Even so, he wasn't the strongest fighter in the universe anymore, but still, one of the strongest fighters and most definitely the strongest fighter of his age. And he had made a career in the Capsule Corporation of all places. Sure, it helped that his godmother was the owner, but she honestly did not have anything to do with his working his way up in the corporation.
And yet, Chichi, his mother, had enrolled Gohan in high school. When Gohan said that he wouldn't have to because he already had a great career, his mom had simply said that she didn't care.
"I still want you to get a decree Gohan. And besides it's about time you start to make some human friends your own age." She had also said something about grandchildren and a wife, but Gohan hadn't really been paying much attention any more.
'She has a point' Gohan thought. Gohan only had one friend his age and he wasn't human. This friend was a dragon that was born about half a year before him. The dragon's name was Icarus en he was well over 6 meters/20 feet high. Gohan had met him years ago, when saving him from a forest fire and they have been good friends ever since. Most of his other friends were much older and some of them not even human. Even Dende, who had become the new guardian of the earth, was actually older then Gohan.
Last night, Gohan and his mom had a little talk about Gohan's powers at school. A little talk basically meant that Chichi had instructed Gohan not to use his powers at all and that it was better if he didn't tell people about his job just yet while he simply nodded and agreed, afraid of the frying pan in her hand. Even with all his genius he never managed to find a way to protect himself from a frying pan.
The next morning, Gohan left for school after a good breakfast, consisting of what normal people would call a seven coarse meal. He also received a teary goodbye from his younger brother Goten, who didn't like the idea of his older brother being gone for longer than thirty minutes.
Gohan was flying over Satan City, a small distance from the West City where CC's main building was located, so the distance was nothing new. Just over five hundred miles and he wouldn't need more than half an hour if he took things easily, and less than two minutes if he flew at top speed. Gohan would attend one of the best high schools in the country, Orange Star High. Landing outside of the city so he wouldn't be noticed, Gohan decided to walk to his school from there. Orange Star High was located near the edge of the city, so it wouldn't be too much of a walk.
Just a few blocks into the city, Gohan saw something that confirmed all the bad rumors he had been hearing about Satan City. There was, in broad daylight and in the middle of the street, a very violent bank robbery going on. The police didn't seem to be able to do anything to the heavy weaponry that the crooks had brought with them.
'Damn, I should try to help them out. But if I jump in, everyone will know about my powers. How do I act without revealing myself?' he thought for a moment, and an idea came up. 'Of course, that's it. I'll just go super and no one will recognize me.' With that, Gohan quickly ran behind a bush and dropped his bag on the ground. Looking around to see if anyone was watching, he clinched his fists at his side and instantly underwent the legendary transformation of the Saiyan race. His black hair turned a bit spikier and became gold. His black eyes became green and his muscles expanded a bit. It had its own benefits to be a half alien at times.
Gohan jumped up and made sure that he landed in the middle of the four villains that were robbing the bank. Gohan responded to the stunned villains by giving the first of the four men a soft chop to the neck. The man had passed out before he even hit the ground. Turning on his heels, he gave the second robber a small tick on the head with two fingers which knocked him out instantly and gave him a massive concussion. The third and fourth one started to run to their getaway car in hopes of escaping. Gohan managed to knock one out cold instantly, but the fourth and last one actually made it to the truck and started to race away.
'Not that quickly,'Gohan thought as he moved forward to grab the truck. Pushing his heels into the ground, the big pick up truck didn't move one inch while Gohan held it. Slowly shifting his weight a bit to behind, Gohan began lifting the truck of the ground, much to the amazement of the people watching. After he lifted the car a feet or so of the ground, Gohan released an energy blast from his hand to destroy the tires and gave a shock to the driver. Dropping the car back on the ground, he noticed that the driver was already knocked out.
Deciding that at this point the police could take over, Gohan quickly shot up and moved to get his back as he transformed back to his normal form. As he stood up from the bush where his bag was hidden, a voice suddenly addressed him.
"Hey, you," As Gohan turned around, he saw a girl about his age and about a head shorter than him, standing in the middle of the street. She had shoulder length pink hair with a headband on her head. Her eyes were deep but light green and she was wearing a red shirt, short pants, fighting gloves and set of trainers. "What happened here?"
"I don't know. I didn't see what happened." He answered her.
"What?" she said. "How could you miss a bank robbery going on in the middle of the street?"
"Well…" for all his brains, Gohan couldn't think up a lie to save him. Luckily, he didn't have too because the girl answered is for him.
"I bet you were hiding in that bush all along. Coward." With that, she turned and walked away to the crowd, probably to interrogate someone else. Quickly Gohan turned on his heels and made a run towards his school, hoping that he didn't attract too much attention to himself.
Half an hour later, Gohan was once again feeling extremely nervous. He was standing outside of the classroom, waiting for the teacher to introduce him to the class. 'Okay Gohan, just take it smooth and everything will be fine.' From inside the class, he could hear all the other students making noises such as talking and gossiping and all the other noises they'd normally do. When they heard the teachers demand silence, he tensed up even more.
"Now then, boys and girls, I have an announcement to make. Today, we receive a new student. He has managed to make perfect scores on all his tests, which means that a lot of you can learn something from him." With that he turned towards the half open door and told Gohan to come in.
The moment Gohan walked into the classroom, people started to talk again. Most guys were talking about him either looking like a geek or not while he could have sworn he heard some girls whisper the word cute to each other.
"Well, Gohan, why don't you tell us something about yourself?" the teacher asked kindly.
"Okay, sure. Hi everyone, my name is Gohan. I'm seventeen years old and I've been home schooled for the better part of my life. I'm here to get my degree and I hope I enjoy my time here." He hoped that it was good enough for them.
"Do you have a job?" asked one of the girls.
'I knew it. Someone just had to ask.' He really didn't want them asking for his job or anything else of his personal life.
Knowing he couldn't lie, Gohan gave a half answer. "Yes, I work at the Capsule Corporation." Having a job at CC was not all that big. CC had a cleaning staff counted more than a thousand heads.
When it stayed silent the teacher spoke up again, "It seems that everyone is satisfied. Please take a seat somewhere Gohan, and I'll begin the lessons."
Before he could even start looking for an empty seat, a blond girl somewhere in the back jumped up and yelled at him. "Hey cutie, this seat is open. You can sit next to me." Turning a bit red at being called 'cutie', Gohan walked up the stairs to her. As he sat down, he had a good look at the girl that had called him.
The girl had short blond hair with big blue eyes. She was wearing a tight tank top and jeans. From what Gohan could see, which was quite a bit because her clothes were very formfitting, this girl could definitely give Bulma a run for her money both the general figure and chest size department. She quickly introduced herself as Erasa.
The guy sitting next to Erasa also had blond hair, but his reached down to the mid of his back and chest. He was wearing a sleeveless shirt that showed of his muscular arms and was, like Erasa, wearing jeans. Erasa introduced him as Sharpener. Sharpener didn't even look at Gohan, seemingly more busy trying staring ahead.
The third girl was the girl that Gohan had seen near the band that morning. Feeling even more nervous than before, Gohan sat down on his chair as the, boring, lecture began.
Sakura Satan was not a stupid girl and she knew her best friend good enough to know what was going on. Erasa was on another one of her matchmaking plots. She would either try to match this new kid to Sakura, or try to date him herself. She always was a sucker for looks and the new kid, she had to admit, was definitely not bad looking. He was tall, cute and from the way he carried himself she could see he was in good shape. She hoped that Erasa would try to take this kid to herself. The morning was frustrating enough as it was.
The bank were the miraculous 'Gold Fighter', as he had been named bystanders, had been robbed was no more than two blocks away from the school. As a result, plenty of people saw what happened and the rumors were spreading quickly. A person of their age and according to some people on the scene, wearing her school uniform and badge had saved the day by knocking three robbers out in a matter of second and then simply lifted a pick-up truck. She knew that she had seen something like that before, but she couldn't place when.
Erasa was introducing the new kid to the rest of Sakura's little group, meaning that he was introduced to her and Sharpener properly. There were only two people in the school that Sakura would hang out with and they were sitting next to her.
"So Gohan," Erasa said a few minutes into the lesson, "Where do you work at the CC?" Sakura turned around a bit too. She had heard Gohan say that he worked at the CC, but he had not said where he worked.
"Well, I work that the Research and Development department," he said shyly. Sakura raised her eyebrows a little. The R&D department is one of the most important departments in CC.
"Wow. And what kind of work do you do there then? With your brains, I bet you're pretty important right?"
Sakura shook her head, just barely holding back a sigh.'Great. She met the guy two minutes ago and already hitting on him. At least that means she won't try to hook me up with him.'
Gohan hesitated for a few seconds before he opened his mouth to give an answer. But before he could however, Sharpener spoke up. "Forget it Erasa. He probably works at the R&D department as a snack delivery boy or something."
It was because of Sharpener's word that Sakura suddenly made the connection. "Of course, that's it." She exclaimed.
"What's what?" Erasa questioned her, confused at her friend's sudden outburst.
Sakura turned toward her best friend and immediately got an eyeful of Gohan up close. He looked familiar, but she couldn't place it. And there was no way she was going to ask if they knew each other. Not only would that give Gohan the bad idea about here, Erasa would immediately try to hook Sakura up with the new guy, mistaking her question for interest. "This whole Gold Fighter affair. I just remembered where I've seen other people with golden hair and superhuman strength."
Before she could continue however, Gohan spoke up. "Excuse me, but who's this Gold Fighter you're talking about?"
"He's the town's new super hero." Erasa said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Just this morning he appeared out of nowhere and stopped a bank robbery in a matter of seconds. He's amazing. He's super strong, fast and has golden hair. That's why he's been named the Gold Fighter."
Suddenly, Gohan looked uncomfortable. Erasa quickly turned around back to Sakura and asked her what she was talking about when she said that she remembered the stuff the Gold Fighter had done. "It's from the Cell Games, remember? There were four people that had golden hair or could turn it gold. And the people at the bank said he was about our age, right? That kid was fighting Cell before the cameras broke, the 'delivery boy' was around our age."
"Come on Vi, you've got to be kidding me." Sharpener exclaimed.
'Damn.' Gohan thought. 'She's sharp. She didn't even se me fight and already made the connection the Cell Games.'Looking up, Gohan saw that Sakura was now watching him intensely and suddenly spoke up against him.
"Hey, Gohan, you know the reports on the Gold Fighter's clothes were? They say he was wearing a white long sleeved shirt and pants. Sound familiar?"
Looking down, Gohan suddenly realized the big mistake he had made when he stopped the bank robbery. He still wore his school clothes, making him easier to recognize.
"Wow, what a coincidence, you and the Gold Fighter are wearing the exact same outfit. How cool." Erasa chimed in, preventing Gohan from answering.
"Isn't this the standard Orange Star high dress code?" Gohan asked, suddenly feeling very nervous."
"It is," Sharpener said, "but since it's not mandatory, not a lot of people obey it."
'damn,' Gohan thought, 'This is not going to be an easy day. And the lessons have only just started. Why did mom have to send me to school?'
A few hours later, as he was flying home, Gohan couldn't help but think back about his first day at school. It had started with him playing superhero than being introduced to his classmates. After that, one of his classmates had thought that he was the Gold Fighter and to top it all, he had stunned all the students and teachers twice in four hours. First had been in physics, when he showed that he had mastered the subject and had answered a question so thoroughly that he had spent the better part of the hour on it and explained the material to the entire class(who had never understood physics better before). That had instantly won him a reputation in the class. Sharpener had, after that class, started calling him Nerd Boy.
The second event had been in gym. They were playing baseball and Gohan, not wanting to stand out even more, had decided not to swing. Unfortunately, it seemed that Sharpener who was pitching didn't care much. He aimed at Gohan's head. Gohan took the hit to the head without even feeling anything. That had, in turn, caused half the class to drop their jaws to the floor. No more than five minutes after gymnastics, Sharpener had approached him with the request to join the Boxing Club. Sharpener was captain and said that anyone with a hard head as Gohan might make a decent fighter. He had no idea how right he really was.
But all in all, Gohan had come to a conclusion about the day. If he was going to fit in, he would have to somehow distract people enough to forget the Gold Fighter. An idea almost instantly formed his head. He could draw attention away from himself and do one of the things he liked best: Helping people. With that in mind, Gohan changed course to CC. He needed to see Bulma.
Chapter 2:
As Gohan pulled out his cell phone to call to the CC he already dreaded the person who would answer the phone. He knew who it was; it was always the same person, that didn't matter to him. It was the way that person would react when he heard what Gohan did today that he didn't like.
"Capsule Corporation main building, communications department. You have dialed a personal number of one of our employees. May I ask who you are and what business you have?"
The male spoke with a light, happy tone. Gohan knew all too well that this business attitude would fade when he spoke up.
"Hey Tom," he started, but he never got farther because he was interrupted by the man on the other side of the line.
"Boss-man, how are you doing? Why are you calling? I heard you went to high school today." The man fired questions one after the other not even waiting for an answer.
"Putting aside the fact that I'm still wondering what you're doing in school," he continued, "You have to answer me one question Boss-man." Gohan was waiting for what he knew would be coming.
"How are the babes over at your school dude? Got a date yet?"
"Tom, just shut up and connect me through to Bulma will you? I have to ask her something." It was a well-known fact all around Capsule Corporation that you had to cut Tom short or he would go on ranting all day long if he had the change.
Tom Ruiter was appointed as the main communications officer for the Capsule corporation's main building about 3 years ago, when he was 25. The reason for doing so was simple. Although he had a tendency to simply ignore all kinds of etiquette, he had a tendency to address everyone rather crude; the Dutch man was a genius when it came to communications. Gohan was addressed as 'Boss-man' for example, while Bulma was always addressed as 'The Mrs.' A nickname that had earned him the wrath of Vegeta at first.
"Gohan," the voice of his Godmother, Bulma Briefs, said through the phone, "what is it? And how was your first day at school?"
"It was fine, I kind of liked it. Anyway, is it okay if I come over for a bit? I need your help for something and I think I could pick up on some of my work while I'm at it. I know you said you'd take over some of my work, but still. It's my work and I should do some of it myself."
"Fine by me kiddo," she answered, "you know you can come over anytime you want. There isn't any of your work left to do for this week, but the kids will be pretty happy to see you again."
"I'll be right over."
"See you in a minute then Kiddo" with that Bulma. With that she killed the line and waited for Gohan to arrive.
A few hours later, as he walked out of his office at CC, Gohan was thrown to the ground by two little kids that had jumped him.
"Hey Gohan!" the eight year old boy said. "What took you so long to work on? Didn't Mom already do all of your work?" the boy said.
"She did," he answered, "but I still wanted to check some of the things for myself. And I needed to do something while I waited for your mom to finish up on my request."
"You could have just come and play with us Uncle Gohan" the little girl next to him spoke up.
Bra had been born about 10 months after Gohan had defeated the space pirate Bojack, meaning she was born almost a year after Cell was killed. She was just a few months younger then Goten and, already, she was almost a mirror image of her mother. The only difference was that she had her father's eye color and strong chin. As much as Bulma completely adored Trunks, Bra could do no wrong in Vegeta's eyes. While he was putting Trunks through a rough training schedule (adjusted to the fact that he was, after all, still a kid) he didn't force Bra to do anything. Gohan could remember an incident when Bra had fallen when she was out at kindergarten. Vegeta was about ready to go and blow up the entire city block because she came home with a scratch. Only Bra and Bulma calmly explaining what had happened had managed to calm him down and prevented a massive destruction. Not to mention Bulma threatening to disable the cooking bots and start cooking herself.
"I know, but I still had some other work to do as well. Besides, now that I'm free we can go play."
"Hey kid, I've finished your suit." Bulma spoke up from behind them.
"Really?" Gohan asked. Both of the kids looked a bit disappointed that Gohan didn't miss. "Let's go then. I'll go and try it on right now. Come on guys." With that Gohan stood up with Trunks hovering near him and Bra sitting on his shoulders.
Bulma led him to her lab and handed him a simple watch. The simple fact that it didn't belong to some expanse company name was enough to tell Gohan that this watch did more then simply tell time.
"So, what does it do?" he asked.
"Press the red button and see. But first get my daughter of your shoulders." After Trunks had helped his sister down, Gohan pressed the button. His clothes changed instantly to a whole new outfit. Checking himself out in the mirror Gohan couldn't help but be pleased with the new look.
He was wearing a black body suit that was so tight it was almost a second skin. The only area that it did hide a bit was the crotch, something Gohan was thankful for. Besides the body suit he also wore white gloves and a green tunic over his torso and a helmet on his head. Attached to his shoulders with the gold-colored buttons was a big red cape. The helmet left the lower part of his face open, meaning he'd have to mask his voice on his own. His eyes were covered behind a black visor, making it impossible for outsiders to see through it. Above the helmet there were a few antennas placed.
All in all Gohan could only think one thing of his new outfit. 'Cool!'. The kids' thoughts about the outfit were something else though. 'He looks funny'Bra thought, while Trunks was a bit more direct. 'He looks like a total idiot. Dad's going to die from laughter when he sees this.'
"Thanks Bulma, it looks great. Just what I had in mind. How do I change back to my normal clothes?"
"Just press the blue button. Now I've build in a few features for you. When you're wearing that suit, all calls to your cell phone will be transferred to your helmet. You can phone just like when you're using a hands-free-set so you won't give yourself away too much. Now I think you should be going, your mom is going to get worried if you stay gone for much longer."
"You're right. Thanks again. See you two next time."
"Right, bye." Trunks said.
"Goodbye Uncle Gohan, see you next time" Bra said, right before Gohan flew out the window.
As Gohan flew over Satan City again on the way back home he noticed a commotion on the street. Looking down he saw a car riding way too fast in the city, almost hitting both pedestrians and other cars alike. 'It's a miracle no-one got hurt yet.' Gohan thought.
'Well, I wanted to distract attention from the Gold Fighter, might as well start now.' With that he quickly dropped down and landed on the streets right in front of the car.
The driver noticed the strange man in black and green suddenly dropping from the sky, but he was way too late to hit the brakes. He closed his eyes so he wouldn't have to see the bloodbath this would become. As soon as he closed his eyes however, the car jerked forward violently. Looking again he saw the strange man with a foot on the front of the car. The entire car appeared to be dented around the man's foot.
Coming over his initial shock, the man jumped out of his car, followed by his friend and started yelling at the weird man.
"What do you think you're doing, jumping in front of a driving car like that? You could have given me a serious trauma with that you idiot."
"I should be asking that question to you, good sir" Gohan said, making his voice a few octaves higher to mask it, "What do you think you are doing driving like that in the city. You could have hurt someone. Follow the rules of traffic, they exist for a reason." Gohan said. As soon as he was finished however, both men suddenly collapsed with laughter.
"What on earth is this guy saying. And what are you wearing?" one of the men asked in between laughs. "I Think," the other answered, also looking for breath because of his laughs, "this guy wants to play superhero. You've got a name, Greenboy?"
"A name, good point. I hadn't thought of that yet." Gohan said, as he realized it. Immediately he started thinking. 'A nice, cool sounding name to go with my superhero persona.'He thought. 'I know.'
"I am…" he said, his voice taking on an overly dramatic change. "The Great Saiyaman".
As soon as he finished speaking, both men laughed even harder. "What kind of a name is that?" the driver mocked, all the while laughing. It was the last straw for Gohan as his temper suddenly fired up. He slammed his foot down with more force then he intended, trying to get their attention again. The result was a big crack in the concrete and the entire crowd gasped. The drivers suddenly stopped laughing as well.
"I put some thought into that name!" Gohan yelled as he slammed his foot down again. "Stop laughing!" As he looked around he saw that he had caused a massive crack in the ground and the car had become trapped in it. Feeling sorry for the unneeded damage he did to the car, he walked over. Both drivers jumped aside quickly as he calmly made his way over. He picked up the car with one hand and placed it back on save road easily. As he turned around to face the driver he saw they were already on the ground, bowing as low as they could go.
"Please forgive us. We never intended any harm to be done. We're very sorry" They quickly said.
"Just be sure to follow the rules of the road next time. I don't want to catch you doing bad things again." He answered, before shooting of into the sky. The police had arrived at the scene and the drivers would be taking in by them. Justice would be served to them. pleased with his performance, Gohan quickly flew home, intend on telling his brother and mother about his exciting first day of school.
Gohan's family had reacted exactly as he thought they would. His mother wasn't happy with it, but agreed as long as it didn't interfere with is studies and he'd keep the number of missed classes to a minimum. Goten looked like he had heard that he would have three birthday parties in a row when he heard his brother had become a superhero. He thought Gohan's outfit looked really cool and loved the name Saiyaman.
He had stayed up late with both of them discussing what he should and shouldn't do with him being a superhero, a student and an executive of CC.
The following morning Gohan arrived a bit early to check if there were any places near school he could easily use to fly from and to, disguised as Saiyaman. It would certainly remove some of the travel time. He could reach Satan City in about half an hour when taking it easy, but inside of the city, he had to walk. That costs him another 15 minutes.
'Well,'he thought,'time to start school and hear the rumors about Saiyaman'
Sakura Satan was pissed. She didn't like other people doing things for her. She was too proud for it. Yet yesterday, her job had been done before she could even arrive. TWICE, in one day. The day hadn't even started yet, but already she heard rumors flying around about the new superhero. A rather fuzzy picture was taken, showing the town's new superhero, going by the name of Sa-something-man. She had heard, but was too angry to really care.
As she walked into the classroom she saw Erasa had asked going to join them again. Truth be told, Sakura didn't really mind. Because of her job with the police she was always a bit behind with her schoolwork. The teachers knew that and always gave her a break with the marks, often gaining more points then someone who had the exact same answers. She had tried copying Erasa's answers one time and she had scored a C+ while Erasa only had a C-. The explanation the Gohan had given on physics yesterday had helped her understand the stuff they were supposed to learn a lot better. She thought he explained it a lot clearer then the teacher, even answering a few questions that were being asked, both from the class and the teacher. There was no way on earth she was ever going to ask for someone to help her out, but with a little luck Erasa would ask and Sakura could listen in. And he, unlike most other persons male or female, didn't immediately start treating her like a princess because of her father. Sakura hated being treated like a princes almost as much as being helped with something.
The day progressed without any real problems, with the exception of Gohan's weird reaction when someone said that Saiyaman's name was 'Singingman'. Her silent hope that Erasa would ask Gohan to explain stuff was answered and Sakura's mind was currently at an overflow about all the stuff Gohan had told Erasa and Sakura. She was sure that eventually even Sharpener had started to listen. He really knew everything about any school subject, yet he completely failed to notice Erasa's advances on him.. She understood why he had gained perfect scores, he was almost the image of the perfect nerd. Bad social skills, but insane knowledge. The only thing off was that he was rather tall, along with sharpener he was the tallest guy in class actually, and the fact that he was quite good-looking, according to Erasa and almost all the other girls in the class. It wasn't until after lunch that her watch suddenly started beeping, indicating that the police needed her help again.
The captain quickly informed her of a gang taking a bus full of senior citizens hostage. She quickly jumped up and ran out of the classroom to go help out. Once on the roof she de-capsulized her jet copter and jumped in. she started the engines and set course for the buss station. After her father had approved of her acts as a crime fighter he had pulled some strings so she could have a jet copter pilot license and be allowed to fly in the city even though everyone else had to wait until they were 21 before being allowed to even try piloting one of these things. That was one of the few things Sakura actually liked about being a celebrity, you get advantages.
Just before she could arrive however, the captain called her again. The gang had taken the bus and drove out of the city, towards some of the cliffs only a few miles removed from town. Sakura quickly changed course to where her objective was now heading.
When Sakura saw all the police gars going at top speed on a single car road outside of town, Sakura knew she had reached her destination. She quickly speeded on towards the bus with the hostages. Just before she reached it however, she noticed something on her radar. Right behind her, there was another flying object approaching fast. Sakura assumed it was just the news crew, coming for their story.
As she approached the bus, one of the crooks tried to shoot her. in her jet-copter she easily evaded the badly aimed gunfire. When she was hovering above the bus, she pressed the button to turn the copter back into a capsule. As she landed on top of the bus, she quickly grabbed the capsule and put it back in her pocket.
As soon as she put it in her pocket however, she had to jump back. Bullets were again being shot at her through the roof of the bus. Moving quickly, she jumped back a little and immediately moved to the side of the bus. She moved quickly and kicked through the window easily, throwing herself with the force. The shooter was stunned by her appearance for a second and raised his gun to fire at her.
That second was all Sakura needed to close the distance and swiftly placed a powerful knee in his crotch. She had long ago learned that fighting by the fair rules of Martial Arts didn't always work with crooks like this. She grabbed his gun and tossed it out of the window. Quickly turning around, she dashed towards the 2 other gang members. One of them was short and the other was a giant. The giant was driving and as soon as Sakura got close both the giant and the dwarf were involved in the fight. With her far superior abilities as a fighter, Sakura easily defeated the two, knocking them both out cold.
It was one of the seniors that suddenly asked her a question. "Sakura dear, now that you've knocked out the driver, who's driving?"
Turning she saw that the massive robber still had his foot on the pedal and the vehicle was now going at top speed, right towards the cliff's edge. Not being able to drive a car, let alone a bus, Sakura did the only thing that she could.
She screamed as the bus flew over the edge, waiting for death to come claim her in a big crash. It never came.
When Sakura noticed that she wasn't falling anymore, she started looking around for an explanation. It came when she heard a voice, sounding too weird to be natural.
"Is everyone all right in there?" She quickly moved to the source of the sound and found a strange person flying underneath the bus, holding it up with his hands. 'Who's this guy? And better yet, how can he do that?' she thought, although she was eternally grateful for him appearing at that moment.
The strange helmet-wearing man kindly put the bus back on the ground causing not even the smallest of shocks. As soon as there was save ground to stand on all the elderly people stepped out of the bus and started taking pictures of there savior. Looking him over once, Sakura saw that this person was defiantly male and, from the look of his arms, no stranger to work outs.
"My apologies for scaring you all like that. But I feared that, if I stopped the bus before it went over the cliff, the sudden stop would have caused quite a bit of damage." He said, again speaking overly dramatic.
"Thank you." Sakura said as the old people finally calmed down a bit. "But who are you?"
"Of course." He said as he took a few steps back. "Allow me to introduce myself." Suddenly he took on a strange pose, turning around to show them his back and bended over, looking back at them upside down through his legs. His arms were both spread out beside him.
"I am…" he changed pose, now standing on both his legs again, crouched down and held his hands above his helmet, fingers pointing towards his nose. "The Great Saiyaman!"
'Way too cool! She'll never be able to recover from that' Saiyaman thought.
He was right in a way. Sakura was stunned from how Saiyaman had acted, but it wasn't because it was so cool. 'This guy is a total moron.' she thought.
Before she could voice her opinion, however Saiyaman jumped up and flew of. 'What the? That's the second superstrong superhero that flies of in two days. What's going on in this city?'
