It was midday and that meant Son Gohan had a three hour break from studying. Though it took a few hours and a few flying a pan to the head, Gohan was able to convince his mother to allow him to study for five hours a day. A time table was set on Chi Chi's approval also allowing him to train for five hours and the weekends free to do what he wanted.
'I wonder what dad's doing right now; probably training," Gohan thought while walking along the trees surrounding his home. He reached a lake and promptly took off his clothes after which he jumped right in. Fifteen minutes later he came back out with a catfish twice his size.
He dropped it off at his home for an afternoon lunch and flew into the forest. "Alright, time to start mastering Super Saiyan Two, if anyone stronger than Cell or Bojack pops around, I got to be ready!" Gohan determinedly stated out loud.
"You need any help!"
Gohan turned around and let out a big smile. "Piccolo, always good to see you around!"
Piccolo smirked, "Yeah kid, same here. But before we do anything else, Dende wanted me to inform you about something."
"Really, what," Gohan asked. He walked over to Piccolo with his two hands behind his head and eyes closed.
"We wished back all those harmed by Bojack and his men, and one of his crew, a female scum apparently came back to life," Piccolo growled.
"Yeah Piccolo, I remember that," Gohan told his mentor, "If you want I can track her down to make sure she doesn't cause any trouble. Then again, she may not be so bad after all!"
Piccolo smirked. He took of his turban and cape. "Just like your father, Goku!"
And with that he charged at Gohan beginning a long training session.
Chi chi was cleaning up the living room when she heard a knock on the front door. She fixed her apron and trudged to the door. Opening the door she was met with the smiling face of Gohan's new friend, Lime.
"Hello Mrs. Son, is Gohan around?" Lime asked
Chi Chi didn't know too much about Lime only that Gohan saved her and her village and the pair had met twice. "Gohan's not home right now dear, he uh went to the mountains for a bit."
Lime's eyes looked down a bit, "Oh, its ok. Gohan did promise me he would teach me to fly…"
"Oh… he told you about that?" Chi Chi said surprised. She looked at the down casted look on the little girl's face. "Hey Lime, why don't you come in for a bit huh. I made lemonade and some sponge cake."
"Sure Mrs. Son, I would like that!"
Vegeta walked out of the gravity room. After a long training session he finally deserved a three minutes break. However that shortened to one minute after he sensed Gohan's Ki. He popped right back into the gravity room. "Grrrrr…"
While on one side of Capsule Corporation Vegeta was training, on the other side Bulma was watching some very important news. Less than one hour ago, space centers around the world detected an extra-terrestrial object around Jupiter heading to Earth.
'Hmmm… if I can zoom in on this picture and digitalized its resolution, maybe I can figure what this thing really is' Bulma thought.
"Any success so far," Dr. Briefs asked his daughter.
"Yeah, it seems like sort of spaceship. Bigger than Frieza's for sure!" Bulma said back. "I'm going to ask Vegeta if he sense any strong power levels, so we can know if it's a threat or not. Oh god, I hope not. Gohan and the other had enough for a lifetime since that space pirate."
"Spaceship, I can't sense anything stronger than Krillin out there, so it cans that bad. It's not worth your time! Now let me train,'" Vegeta told his wife.
"Hmmm… I hope it's not an alien trying to destroy Earth again," replied the Saiyans wife.
*growl* "Blasted woman, don't interrupt my training again! If I say it's not worth your time, it's not worth your time. Feeble woman."
"Feeble woman. Feeble woman! We'll all see a feeble Saiyan tonight when he has no dinner to come home to!"
"Gohan, you're getting stronger and stronger," Piccolo said after an intense spar.
"Yeah, soon I'll be able to master Super Saiyan 2. Give a year maybe."
Piccolo eyes shot towards the Sons House. "You have company, Gohan."
Gohan looked confused until he sensed… Wait, oh god no! Did she actually find his house? He didn't remember telling her where he lived. Wait, did he?
"Thanks Mrs. Son, those were delicious, you really, truly are an amazing cook," Lime complimented.
Chi Chi eyes closed in delight. She always liked hearing how good a cook she was.
The pair heard the front door open and close.
"Oh good, Gohan's home," Lime squealed in joy.
Gohan scanned the room; Lime seemed to be fine with him. His mother looked…humble…enough. Good.
Scratching his head he began, "Lime surprised seeing you here."
Lime ran up to him, "Gohan, you promised you would teach me how to fight properly so I can defend myself!"
"Yes I did promise you that. I didn't say when…"
"Nuh uh, you said I can come whenever I want in Mt Pazou."
Gohan closed his eyes. Why did this feel like a losing battle? Truth be told, Gohan didn't feel like he could train a, a…human? Whatever, there's a first time for everything.
"Alright Lime, let's get started. Do you know what Ki is?"
"Is that a food?"
Videl was lying in her bed when her father called.
"Sweet pea! Some of your friends are here!" yelled the Godzilla voice of Hercule.
*sigh* "At least I've got company," Videl thought.
Three of her closest friends came, Erasa, Sharpener and Damian.
"Hey guys," Videl said to her friends.
Right away Erasa lunged forward and wrapped her best friend in a hug. "Ohhhhh Videl! I'm sorry you didn't get to fight! Why did you leave us after your father beat up the bad guys! Why didn't you call me? How's the pain? Much?"
"Erasa loose off her, you got your death-hug trap syndrome again," Damian hastily said. He too had been victim to one of those.
"Yeah though, it's kind of sad you didn't get to fight though. With what you've got, you could have made it to your father!" Sharpener exclaimed.
Videl however was unable to answer them as she was recovering her breath. With one heave she caught it back. "Erasa, one question a time. Damian, you're right, it was. Sharpener, yeah I'm kind of sad too."
The group conversed for an hour until they got up to go home. Erasa promised she would text and so did Sharpener. Damian however did not leave the room. He closed the door and walked up to Videl eerily.
Videl noticed and said, "Dude, why haven't you gone yet?"
Damian sighed and said, "Videl, I need to know something."
Videl backed away, "Damian, you're creeping me out."
"Videl, listen to me, did… did Mr. Satan defeat Cell?"
Videl was stunned. What kind of question was that? "Of course my dad beat Cell, what do you mean?"
"It just doesn't seem right. Videl, my uncle was in the army that fought Cell. He doesn't believe those light tricks are trick. And he doesn't believe your dad beat Cell."
Now Videl was getting angry. He doubted her father and actually thinks her father would lie to her and the world like that. "Damian, you and I both know that those lights tricks are tricks. You and I both know, my father is the strongest man alive! How dare you speak ill of him! Please, just… Get out!"
"Your dad always seems to have stomach cramps before he goes up against someone like Cell or at the Intergalactic Tournament, but afterwards they suddenly disappear! Up until now, we haven't seen any more Cell footage, just some crappy short movie! Up until now, no one can figure out how those guys at the tournament can fly. There are a hundred scientists there and not one can get a lead!"
"Damian, what the hell has gotten into you? I don't want to see your face again! Guards!"
And just like that, the boy was frisked away. Videl didn't know it, or perhaps didn't want to, but she lost one of her best friends today. One that will soon fill her with regret.
"Sir, we have reached our destination," shouted someone over the intercom to Sinn.
"We confirmed that the inhabitants are all humans, sir!"
"No way humans are this powerful. A preposterous theory. What the hell could gave off a power level of 300,000,000 sini. Last time I felt such power was against the Super Saiyans, there's only one thing to do now."
"Soldiers, we have arrived to Planet Earth, it's time. Time for extinction!"
