Chi-chi ran as fast as she could to avoid all the bullets heading her way. She slid using her knees, to the nearest wall, trying to give herself some cover while she planned her next move.
"Come on back out here you little bitch!" One of the guys yelled at her.
They had all stopped shooting, as a way to coax her out of her hiding spot. They weren't the brightest group she's face, but then again, what kind of semi-intelligent person would try and rob a bank with all this commotion?
Taking the opening though, she quickly ran out, and before they could do anything, she used her knee to strike the guy who called her a bitch. She heard a satisfying crunching sound come from his face, before he crumbled to the floor.
She kicked the other one at the crotch, before he could even think of grabbing his gun. She turned to the other one to glare at him causing the guy to break out in a sweat.
He closed his eyes, as he tried to shoot, but nothing came out. Opening them again, he saw his gun in Chi-Chi's hands. She smiled at him before punching him straight on the face, knocking him out instantly.
Still holding the gun, she used both of her hands to break it. "I hate when they use these things. Whatever happened to good old fashion fighting?" She muttered to herself. Although, if she thought about it, just using your fist wouldn't be very helpful when trying to rob a bank.
She moved to the first guy she knocked out, and grabbed his gun to break it too. Finally she went to the guy she kicked in the balls, and tried to pick up his gun. As soon as she bent down though he used that chance to slice her across the cheek.
"Ow!" She yelled as she stumbled backwards and grabbed her cheek. Looking up, she seen the guy smiling at her as he held on to a bloody knife. Growling, she swiftly kicked the knife out of his hand. "You'll pay for that jackass."
Seeing the guy gulp in fear, was only a little bit satisfying to her. She ducked down fast, and punched him hard on the stomach. He hit the floor soon after that.
Looking back and forth, she seen that the police still hadn't made it to the scene. Turning back to the guy she had just taken down, she kicked him straight on the face. That will show him what happens when you injure a lady on her face!
She heard the door burst open, and she quickly straighten up. Had they seen her kick the guy when he was already down?
"Lady Anonymous!" Chi-chi heard her alter-ego's name being called. Turning, she saw a man with grayish black hair, and a scruffy mustache. He had a heavy frown on as he approached her. He was the usual head officer who took care of incidents like this one.
"You made it here before us." He stated as he surveyed the scene around them. It was a mess when she had first entered the scene.
She had already been up to start her usual morning workout, when she heard people screaming about a robbery from a nearby bank. Chi-chi had rushed back inside to change into her outfit before she ran to the back herself. As soon as she got there, the guys had already shot the place up. Bullets had ruined all the walls and furniture in the bank.
Luckily she had not seen any bodies laying on the floor when she got there. As soon as she entered the scene there though they had immediately began to shoot at her.
"Nice job as usual Lady Anonymous." The police officer acknowledged. "We'll take care of the rest from here."
"Are you sure?" She politely asked before she caught sight of his watch. Grabbing his wrist she brought it closer to her eyes to make sure she wasn't mistaken. "Oh no! It's already this late!" She exclaimed. "Sorry, I have to go!"
Not waiting for an answer, she ran out of the bank as fast as her feet could take her. If she showed up late to school again, she'd have to serve detention for it this time.
She noticed some weird stares from people around her as she continued to sprint in a populated area of the town. Not a surprise since they were probably wondering why their beloved hero was running around like a madwoman.
Waiting till there was no one really around, she ran behind some trees and bushes. She stripped off her blue top armor first. When she was younger, and she used to play superhero for fun, she wore only this part with some bikini bottoms, and boots.
How her father let her walk out of the house in just that, she would never know. Now, she wore similar armor except she added a skintight suit underneath. It covered her stomach and half of her legs. Not much more, but it gave her some comfort.
After all, it was difficult to combine both comfort and flexibility to move in an outfit. The skin tight suit underneath allowed her to perform difficult tricks without getting in her way. The upper armor part and the bikini bottom armor also provided extra protection without hindering her.
She unclasped her cape in irritation. Why did she include it in her outfit if she couldn't even fly? It sure would have been useful for her right now!
Lastly, she slipped out of the bottom bikini part, so that she was just in her skintight suit. The suit also covered her breast too, but the armor covered it up, so it looked like it only started at her stomach.
Quickly she stuffed everything in her backpack that she had brought with her. It was usually hidden behind her cape when she fought. Guess the stupid thing was useful sometimes. She took out her school uniform and started to dress back up. The shirt and the long skirt covered all of her suit, so no one would be able to tell she was wearing one. It helped that she wore her skin tight suit at all times in case she had to suddenly change to a different outfit.
Chi-chi removed her boots and gloves leaving her socks on. They were black, and were also part of her uniform. She quickly slipped on her shoes and almost ran back out. She stepped on her mental breaks though making sure to still stay hidden.
She had almost forgotten about her helmet! She used to also wear this pink helmet as a child, but she upgraded it a little for her 'professional' outfit she used when she was Lady Anonymous. It now included a visor that added a little bit more of a disguise for Chi-chi. If her eyes were semi concealed it would make it harder for people to be able to tell it was her.
She put her hair in a bun to finish up her normal look. It helped a little more that when she was a normal civilian she had her hair in a bun, and when she was a superhero, she let her hair down. It probably should have been the other way around so her hair wouldn't get in the way of her fighting, but it was to late to change it now.
Looking around, she quickly ran out of her hiding spot and continued to run towards her school. After a while, she noticed some student from her school starting to appear, so she slowed down and started walking. Letting out a breath, she let herself relax. She wasn't going to be late this time!
"Chi-chi!" The secret hero heard her name being called. Looking in back of her, she seen the school's known beauty running towards her. Bulma Briefs, part of the brief family, the richest family in Japan. Not only did she have the beauty and the money, but she also had the brains to go with it which had gone past most people's head.
Most considered her a Bimbo, but she was actually really gifted in the science department. Although she was a little slow when it came to reading between the lines. She had to have some kind of limit after all.
She was also Chi-chi's best friend. Sort of a surprise to some people since they were such opposites. Bulma was the exotic type while Chi-chi was pretty, but that's as far as it went. Being next to Bulma most of the time, people tended to overlook her. Especially the boys.
Not that Chi-chi had really cared. In fact, she considered it a plus when it came to hanging out with Bulma. She had to deal with boys constantly trying to flirt with her, and girls trying to hang out with her because of her money and fame. She also had to deal with people hating her because of her popularity.
Chi-chi probably would have felt bad with her if Bulma hadn't handled it perfectly herself. She had quite the mouth on her that came in handy more than once for her. It kept the crazies around her in line.
Their friendship worked out perfectly despite the difference. Most things that would tear friendships apart never really bothered them Not even the money part of it.
Chi-chi wasn't exactly poor, in fact she was considered rich from where she came from, but after her and her father moved to the city, things became much more expensive for them.
Her father owned a Chinese restaurant that did okay. It was enough for them to live comfortably, and Chi-chi was satisfied with that.
Bulma on the other hand was filthy rich. It didn't really get in the way of their friendship though. There were a few times where Bulma offered to pay for Chi-chi sometimes when she was low in money and couldn't really afford to go out places. She usually declined which would sometimes frustrate Bulma, but they would quickly get over it.
"Good morning Bulma." She greeted when the bluenette neared her. She had her hair tied in a ponytail today. "You look kind of angry."
"Of course I'm angry!" Bulma exploded. "You won't believe what Vegeta told me yesterday on our date!"
Vegeta. A name that involved a lot of their topics. Vegeta was Bulma's 'boyfriend' although Chi-chi wouldn't exactly title him that. They were together, but girlfriend and boyfriend didn't really fit them.
They went out on dates and stuff, but Chi-chi wouldn't say Vegeta was Bulma's boyfriend exactly. More like he was already her husband except they didn't live together.
Chi-chi had tried to avoid Vegeta in the beginning of their relationship since he was so rough with everyone, and she didn't want to be tempted to kick his ass. And the reason she didn't want to do that was because first, she would most likely destroy him, and secondly it would put Bulma in a tough spot to have to always pick a side.
So she avoided him. Not that it was hard. He didn't exactly go out of his way to try and talk to her. Eventually though Bulma sneakily trapped them and left them alone together a couple times forcing them to bond.
It wasn't easy at first, but Chi-chi tried for Bulma's sake. After getting one word answers from him most of the time, she finally stuck gold when she brought up the topic of fighting. They had gotten into quite a discussion about different fighting styles and techniques until it became easier for them to talk.
They weren't going to start hanging out with each other or anything, but they did at least get along when they had to. It had made Bulma happy, so Chi-chi guess it was worth the trouble.
"What did he say?" Chi-chi asked.
"That's just it! He didn't say anything! Not even to tell me he wasn't coming!" Bulma yelled in anger. "That stupid man forgot about it and instead went somewhere with Goku and Krillin!"
Goku and Krillin. Also familiar names to their usual conversations. Goku was one of Vegeta's few friends. Every time Chi-chi saw him, the guy was laughing, or smiling at something. He and Bulma knew each other since they were kids so they were also good friends.
Chi-chi never really talked to the guy herself except for a few occasions. He was more a friend of a friend to her.
Krillin was a short bald guy who was always goofing off. He was also surprisingly a ladies man. He was currently going out with some girl that had long straight purple hair and a nice body.
She didn't approve of his ways, but it wasn't really her business in the first place. They were good friends, and out of the three group of boys she got along with him the most.
Chi-chi noticed they were already at the entrance of their school. "So what are you going to do?" She questioned.
"I'm going to kill him!" Bulma growled. Then her anger suddenly dispersed. "Or I could just tell him some guy hit on me and then kissed me!"
Chi-chi laughed at her friends plan. "Please tell him during class! It'll make it even better."
"My thoughts exactly." Bulma agreed.
Suddenly she glared at the door, and a second later Vegeta walked in. That woman had a sixth sense when it came to him. "Vegeta!" She scolded as soon as he came in.
Goku and Krillin came in behind him snickering. Vegeta must of told them about the date he was suppose to be at.
"I already told you I'd make it up to you! What more do you want from me!" Vegeta defended himself.
Bulma puffed out her cheeks full of air, as she pouted at him before she let it out. "Fine, but your paying, and I want to go to that new cafe that you've been avoiding!"
Vegeta groaned. "Not that one! Its too girly for a man like me to be in!"
"Its either that or..." Bulma let her threat hang. Since she didn't finish it Chi-chi guessed it was something private between couples.
Vegeta held her glare for a couple more seconds before he gave in. "Fine, whatever. As long as you stop shrieking like a banshee."
Bulma grinned in satisfaction. "Good, so what exactly was it that you ditched me for?"
"I didn't ditch you." Vegeta argued as he crossed his arms and looked the other way.
"We went camping." Goku stepped up to explain.
"For a day?" Bulma question suspiciously.
"He meant we went hiking!" Krillin corrected as he elbowed Goku. "He considers it camping since we went in the morning and ate lunch and dinner there."
"Why were you there all day?" Bulma asked again.
"It was a long trail." Vegeta answered before the other two could. "Enough with the questions already." He said as he went to sit down.
Bulma joined him in her seat next to him, as they continued talking. Krillin and Goku made their way to their seats next to Chi-chi.
"So, Chi-chi, how'd you spend your Sunday?" Krillin asked as he settled down.
Chi-chi remembered that she had dealt with a hostage situation involving the mayor. "I had to go help one of my friend from being stuck with a creep hitting on her. It took a while, but he finally got the hint." After I knocked his ass out and saved the mayor that is.
"Next time don't be afraid to call us if it gets out of hand." Krillin said as he flexed his arms. "Wouldn't want you having to deal with psycho's all the time. Right Goku?"
Chi-chi laughed at the irony.
"Sure, but Chi-chi looks like a capable girl. I doubt she would need any help from us." Goku said.
Krillin looked at Goku in shock. "Chi-chi looks like she couldn't even hurt a fly!" He exclaimed. "Uh, no offense Chi-chi." He quickly said.
Goku rubbed his chin as he looked thoughtfully at Chi-chi. "Nah something about her screams strong. Have you ever trained before Chi-chi."
Chi-chi begun to feel cold sweat. Could Goku see through her act? "No, I haven't." She let out a nervous chuckle. "M-Maybe I should try it one day though. I do study some fighting styles even though I don't practice them."
"Really? I didn't know that!" Krillin said in amazement.
"Her father was a student of Master Roshi." Vegeta added stepping back into the conversation.
"Uh no way!" Krillin exclaimed. "The Master Roshi! The same Master Roshi that has lived for 100 years and is said to be stronger than 1,000 men even now! The same one that Goku's grandpa learned from!"
Chi-chi blinked in surprise. "Goku, your grandfather studied under Master Roshi too?"
"Not only that, but Goku's grandfather is the great martial artist known as Gohan!" Krillin answered for her.
"Gohan?" Chi-chi said in surprise.
"You know of him?" Goku asked. He was shocked that she knew enough about fighting to know who his grandfather was.
"Yeah, I've studied a lot of his work! He was a great inspiration for me growing up. My father said he trained with him when they were learning under Master Roshi." Chi-chi replied.
"What's even cooler is that Goku's grandpa trained him and his brother when they were little!" Krillin added. "It's what helped him learn how to-"
"Krillin!" Goku and Vegeta both yelled.
Krillin quickly covered his mouth. "Oops! Sorry, I didn't mean to say that!"
Before Bulma or Chi-chi could question any further, the teacher walked in. "Okay class, today we will be learning about…."
Chi-chi wondered for a second what Krillin was going to say. What did Goku learn because of his grandfather? Was it something that not even her own father knew about?
"SOMEONE KISSED YOU!" Vegeta shouted interrupting the class. Chi-chi quietly giggled to herself. She couldn't believe Bulma actually went through with it.
Chi-chi was walking home after taking care of some other bad guys that had tried to mug some guy. She was no longer in her super hero costume and instead was walking around in her uniform. Her feet were aching from so much walking.
She had already paroled around the city twice by foot, and she was just about to finish it up and head home, knowing she was already at her limit when the mugging happened. Those stupid guys had her running for quite a bit before she caught up to them.
She had ended up at the complete opposite side of the city from where she lived. Now she had the long journey of walking back home on her already blistered feet.
Her father was probably starting to worry for her since she told him she'd only be out for awhile. She slapped herself on the cheek as a way of motivating her. Gah, this was starting to be tough on her! Why did this city have such a high crime rate!
"Hey, need some help getting home?" Chi-chi almost jumped out of her skin when she heard the voice from behind her. Some superhero she was. Where were those reflexes when she needed them. Instead they just helped her avoid bullets when she was being shot at. Useless.
She turned to see a flashy guy. He had slicked back black hair, and green eyes that almost seemed like they were glowing. He was also wearing a lot of piercings and a nice suit. "My car is just around the corner if you need to get home. You look kind of tired there."
Chi-chi lifted her eyebrow. "You don't actually expect me to believe that? No thank you." She firmly answered. I'll get your ass later creep. No way was she going to let some creep trying to lure young girls into his car, roam the streets.
She turned her back to him to leave, which was probably the worst idea, but she was tired and clearly not thinking straight. Why else would she just let her guard down and turn her back to him thinking that was going to be the end of it?
Before she could even take a step away, she was shoved into an alley way with her face being crushed into a wall.
"Too bad, guess I'll just have to take you here then!" The guy said into her ear as he rubbed himself against her bottom.
She quickly broke his hold and kicked him away from her as hard as she could. Even though her legs were tired, she had some adrenaline helping her, and ended up using a little too much strength. The guy flew to the opposite wall, and broke some of the brick off from the impact.
He dropped to the ground as he held onto his stomach and tried to get air back into his system. The guy stood up look furious. His eyes and face were red, and some veins were popping out. "Bitch!"
"What's going on here!" Someone said from outside the alley.
It prevented Chi-chi from finishing the guy off herself. She looked up to see Goku and Vegeta standing from the outside of the alley. It took a second for them to adjust to the scene in front of them before they quickly rushed to her side.
Chi-chi panicked for a second. "Um, help! This guy harassed me!" She yelled. It sounded kind of over dramatic to her, but she wasn't really use to playing victim. She hope they didn't notice the dented wall.
"Shit!" The guy yelled before he pulled out a knife. "Stay back if you value your lives!"
Chi-chi looked nervous for a second. She knew Vegeta and Goku were strong, but should she do nothing when the enemy had a knife out? She had to help out!
Goku went towards the guy quickly, and Chi-chi almost yelled when the guy thrust the knife out, but Goku looked prepared for it. He grabbed the guys wrist before using it to slam him to the ground. The impact caused him to let go of the knife and Vegeta went to grab it.
Although Chi-chi noticed he didn't exactly run for it. It looked more like Vegeta casually went to retrieve it. Why did he do that? What if the guy had tried to grab it again?
"Let me go! The bitch is lying!" The guy said as he struggled beneath Goku. "I didn't touch her!"
Vegeta snorted. "Too bad for you, but we know this girl."
"Yeah, and it kind of pisses me off that you would accuse her of that." Goku said as he lifted his head a little before hitting it against the ground, knocking him out.
"Uh, are you sure that was a good idea Goku? What if you really damaged him?" Chi-chi asked nervously. She wasn't worried for the guy as much as she was worried about Goku getting in trouble with the cops because of her.
"Nah, I just knocked him out. I made sure not to use to much force." Goku answered. "By the way, are you okay? I'm surprise you're not freaking out over the situation. Wasn't it scary for you?"
Chi-chi tried to make herself look more concern. "I guess I'm still in shock or something. I phoned the cops though so they should be here soon."
"I'm sure Bulma will be freaking out over it enough for the both of you." Vegeta said. "That woman will probably burst in tears when you tell her."
Chi-chi cringed at the thought. Having Bulma crying was like having a puppy crying. It would make you want to do something to stop the tears because it'd be too sad to watch otherwise. Chi-chi was always weak against things like that.
"Maybe we shouldn't tell her." Chi-chi suggested. The two boys quickly agreed with her.
"Geez where was that Lady anonymous girl when you need her." Vegeta said after some time. "Doesn't she usually show up for this kind of thing?"
"You can't expect her to know when every little bad thing is happening in the city!" Goku defended. "I'm just glad we were around to help Chi-chi out."
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "What's with this crush on her Kakarot? You're acting like a little school girl."
Chi-chi's eyes widen in surprise. Goku had a crush on her! Well, on her alter ego!
"I don't have a crush on her!" Goku quickly said. "I just like the way she fights!"
"Cause she moves around a lot in that suit." Vegeta added.
Chi-chi could feel her face heating up.
"Well, yeah, but also the fighting." Goku outright admitted with no shame. "I've never seen anyone that could fight like that."
"She's okay for a girl." Vegeta said.
Chi-chi inwardly glared at him. If she ever got the opportunity to kick his ass as her alter ego, she would defiantly take it!
"I bet she could beat you." Goku countered. "You're probably stronger than her-"
Chi-chi inwardly glared at Goku too. There was no way Vegeta was stronger than her!
"-but Lady Anonymous doesn't just fight with her strength. She uses clever strategies. Some that are even similar to Master Roshi's turtle school's style." Goku finished.
Chi-chi started to worry a little. What if he put two and two together and realized it was her. He already knew her father was a student of Master Roshi's.
"Kakarot, only you would be stupidly in love enough to believe in something like that. No way can she beat me."
Just then the cops finally made it onto the scene. "Good job guys, we'll take it from here." The officer said as he took the unconscious man to the back of his car handcuffed.
Chi-chi felt a weird sense of deja vu. "Well I guess I'll just be heading home then."
"Wait, don't you want us to walk you home?" Goku offered. Although it sounded more like he had already been planning to do that.
"I'll be fine. I doubt two bad things in a row will happen to me." Chi-chi joked. She knew full well, with her luck in attracting danger, it might very well happen. Not that the heroine would have much trouble with it.
"It'll make the fool feel better, so just take the offer." Vegeta advised.
Chi-chi was pretty much use to Vegeta's way of talking, and realized he was also worried about her walking home. "If your sure. My house is on the other side of the city though." She warned.
"So is ours." Goku replied as they started walking.
"Really? What were you guys doing all the way over here then?" Chi-chi asked. She saw that both Goku and Vegeta both shared a look before turning their attention back on her. Very suspicious.
"Krillin lives around here." Goku answered her. "We were just coming back from visiting him. What about you? What were you doing all the way over here?"
Now it was Chi-chi's turn to look suspicious. "I was running an errand for my father."
It took awhile, but they were finally reaching Chi-chi's father's restaurant. "This is where you live?" Goku questioned in confusion.
"No, my house is just down the street, but my father owns this restaurant, so I help out sometimes." She explained as she led them inside.
The restaurant was a little busy with a few people, but it wasn't packed. She seen her father look up from the cashier place. He was handling the bill with a customer. "Chi-chi! Where have you been? I thought you said you were only going to be gone a couple of hours!"
"Sorry dad." She apologized. "I ran into some trouble with a guy, but Goku and Vegeta were there to help me out."
"What!" He exclaimed. After he finished with the customer, he made his way towards her and crushed her into a hug. "You're not hurt are you?"
Even though her father had personally trained her himself, he had still treated her like a young child. He had no idea about her double life as a super hero. And she had no intention of telling him about it. He would just end up freaking out about it, and worry about her even more than he did now.
She wasn't even sure if he would even allow her to continue her super hero duties if he found out. She didn't blame him, she was his only daughter, and he just wanted the best for her, but that was why she couldn't tell him.
"I'm fine dad." She reassured as she returned the hug.
"So I guess me and Vegeta will be heading out, now that we know your safe." Goku interrupted.
"No!" Chi-chi's father yelled. "Please stay and eat. Its on the house. Its the least I could do for saving my little girl."
"Sure, thanks!" Goku said as he went to sit down. Vegeta shook his head at him, but soon followed him.
"Great! Chi-chi, go prepare them something to eat." Her father instructed. They still had other customers to attend, so the cooks in the back were already working, leaving Chi-chi to be the one to prepare the food.
"Alright dad." She agreed as she went to the back. Hopefully her father won't say anything too embarrassing to Vegeta and Goku while she's gone.
