Chapter 2 is out of the blue ~TheUltimateMystic


Chapter 2: Enchanting Beauty


Satan City Park 10:05 A.M


'Yamcha, What did you get yourself into?' Gohan thought as he put on a pair of gloves and began to examine his body. 'Strangulation marks on his neck, clearly from a hand. The attacker gripped him hard enough to draw blood.' Gohan gently lifted Yamcha's rightly and carefully examined it. 'His right hand is severely bruised and broken in 5 different places. He hit something hard but what? A wall? No couldn't be there would be residual residue...Could he have hit his assailant? His skin would've had to have been as hard brick...' Gohan slowly turned over Yamcha's body and felt his back. Broken...Fourteen, no Fifteen vertebrae. His back was broken upon impact. He would have had to have been thrown with a considerable amount of force...' Gohan turned Yamcha's body back over and noticed a piece of folded paper sticking out of a secret pocket behind his shirt. Gohan carefully removed the paper from his pocket. The folded paper had Son Gohan written on the front of it. 'Interesting...' Gohan unfolded the paper. The paper had an encoded message which Gohan deciphered in under a minute.

"If you're reading this then I'm dead. For the past several months I have been investigating a mysterious cult known as the Saiyan Society. Most who have heard of them think they are simply a myth, they are not. The Saiyan Society is very real and very dangerous. I successfully managed to infiltrate their ranks and learned some terrifying things about them. I recently discovered there is an inner circle within the Saiyan Society dubbed "The Elite." What exactly being an Elite entails I am not quite sure of but...it's something not natural. I am leaving you this message because I fear they may be onto me. I wish I could tell you more but I don't think I have much time left to continue writing. Go to my house and look under the furthest left floorboard of my bedroom. There you will find a flash drive with very vital information on it. Good Luck my friend and goodbye."

Gohan folded the note and put it in his pocket and quickly made his way down.

"So, what did you discover?" Chief Inspector Krillin asked as Gohan finished coming down.

"It's Yamcha." Gohan replied. "The victim is Yamcha."

Krillin and Trunks looked stunned as they heard the name of the victim.

"Damn..." Krillin said as he lowered his head.

"How?" Trunks inquired.

"He was thrown one-handed by a single assailant." Gohan replied.

"H...how is that even possible?" Krillin replied.

"You'd be surprised what's possible." Gohan replied. "I once knew a fellow detective that was turned into a child. Chief Inspector, do you know anything about The Saiyan Society?"

"Can't say that I do." Krillin replied

"I've heard a few things." Trunks stated. "Mostly online rumors and ghost stories."

"Well, apparently they're more than just a myth." Gohan replied. "Yamcha left a note. He had been investigating them for quite some time. I suspect whoever is behind his murder is a member."

A sound of a large vehicle was heard approaching.

"That must be the crane here to retrieve the body." Krillin stated.

"Trunks, We need to head to Yamcha's place." Gohan said.

Trunks nodded in reply and the two took their leave.

As Gohan and Trunks left, a brief look of concern appeared on Krillin's face.


1700 Wolffang Drive/Yamcha's House - Outside. 10:30 A.M


A small white one bedroom house with run down paint and a small set of stairs leading up to a tiny cramped porch.

Gohan and Trunks arrived at Yamcha's place in a Taxi Cab.

"This is our stop." Gohan stated. "Pay the man Trunks."

"Me!?" Trunks exclaimed. "I thought it was your turn to pay the cab fare this time?"

"Yes, but I left my wallet at home." Gohan replied.

"...Again." Trunks replied. "Fine, but you owe me." Trunks took out the money for the cab fare and handed it to the cab driver.

Gohan and Trunks walked up to the stairs. As they were walking up Trunks almost stepped through a hole in the middle step.

"That was close." Trunks said as he continued on.

Gohan lingered on the middle step for a brief moment looking the hole before heading up to the door where a small blue cat ornament hung from it. Gohan removed the ornament and flipped it over to reveal a hidden key. Gohan took the key out and went to put it in the door's keyhole but stopped and a puzzling look came across his face.

"What's the matter, Gohan?" Trunks asked.

Gohan turned the doorknob to find it was already unlocked.

Trunks and Gohan looked at each other silently telling the other to be on guard.

The duo entered the house to find everything in disarray. A couch flipped over and torn apart, jars and various containers smashed and broken open, and numerous holes punched into the walls lined with blue wallpaper.

"It looks like the place has been ransacked." Trunks stated.

Gohan's eyes quickly darted around the room. "Doesn't look like anything's been stolen from here. I think whoever did this was looking for some..." A look of realization came across Gohan's face. "The flash drive."

A loud noise suddenly came from the bedroom area. Gohan and Trunks rushed to the bedroom door. Trunks picked up a nearby broken table leg as Gohan slowly opened the door. The door opened to reveal a petite young woman standing by a broken down bed. She had raven black hair that extended just past her shoulders. She stood just a little over 5 ft and wore a long white silk blouse, a black medium length frilled skirt, pink leggings, and black high heels.

"Wow, that was startling." The young woman said to herself. The young woman quickly turned around upon hearing Gohan and Trunk's footsteps.

Gohan noticed her right foot move forward slightly as a look of contemplation on her face briefly before smiling. She made direct eye contact with Gohan. Her eyes were a vibrant blue that could give the sea envy.

'Scars and bruises on her left and right index, middle, fourth and pinky fingers.' Gohan thought as he quickly analyzed her letting out a slight "Hmm" upon doing so.

"Hello." The young woman greeted. "Who are you?"

"My name is Gohan. I'm a private investigator." Gohan replied. "And this is my partner Dr. Trunks Briefs."

"Please just call me Trunks." Trunks added.

"Oh, you're a private investigator huh." Videl replied. "Then you must know Yamcha."

"Knew." Gohan replied. "He was found dead about 30 minutes ago."

"...Oh, my." The young woman replied. The look on her face was one not of shock but one of rather one of remorse which Gohan took notice of.

"How did you know Yamcha?" Trunks inquired.

"I hired him to help me find my missing dog." the young woman replied. "I...Oh, wait where are my manners. I haven't even introduced myself yet. My name is Videl."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Videl." Gohan replied. "Do you have any idea who did this?"

"No." Videl replied. "I just arrived shortly before you did."

"I see." Gohan replied before walking over to the left corner of the room and looked at the floorboards which had been smashed up. Gohan bent down and picked up an empty lock box. "It's gone."

"What's gone?" Videl inquired.

"The key to this case." Gohan replied.

"It looks like they whoever did this didn't leave a trace." Trunks stated.

"There's always a trace somewhere, Trunks." Gohan replied. "Even if it's a minute one." 'Although, whoever did this made sure to cover their tracks fairly well...' Gohan looked around the room looking for any trace of the perpetrator. 'Damn, this is...Wait there!' Gohan spotted a small piece of black fabric hanging from a nail sticking out of the bedroom door. Gohan took out a pair of tweezers and carefully picked up the fabric. 'Hmm...It's definitely a synthetic material. I'll have to have it analyzed.' Gohan took out a small plastic bag and placed in the fabric. "Trunks, I'm going to need you to take this to Bulma and have it analyzed."

"...No." Trunks replied.

"Come on Trunks." Gohan replied.

"No, you do it." Trunks replied.

"I need to go back to our place and check the archives." Gohan replied.

"...Fine." Trunks replied gritting his teeth.

"Who's Bulma?" Videl inquired.

"The only person I know more eccentric than Gohan...My mother" Trunks replied.


SCPD Crime Lab 10:50 A.M.


Trunks stood outside an opaque glass door with big bold lettering which read SCPD Bulma's Crime Lab – Enter at Your Own Risk.

Trunks let out a sigh as he pulled the door open and entered the room.

A cloud of white smoke filled The crime lab was littered with various beakers and machines and in between all of this, sitting in chair, was a woman with short blue hair, and three (not tobacco) cigarettes in her mouth, whose face gave the appearance of someone in the their late twenties although her actual age is considerably older. She wore a tight white tank top with a green peace sign on it, which showed off her decently sized cleavage, a long blue lab coat which was currently tied around her waist, tight black leggings, and black and white high top sneakers. The blue haired woman's eyes lit up as she noticed Trunks enter the lab.

"Heeeey Trunks!" The blue haired woman exclaimed. "Long time no see."

"Hey, Mom." Trunks replied.

"Don't call me Mom call me Bluntma I mean Bulma." Bulma replied as she began putting eye drops in each of her eyes. "Being called mom makes me feel so old."

"Mom, you're four..." Trunks went to say before being cut off.

"Uh uh uh." Bulma interrupted. "Don't you know it's not polite to mention a woman's age. So what brings ya by? Usually, it's Gohan who brings me the interesting stuff."

"Gohan's busy looking something up." Trunks replied doing his best not to choke on the smoke coming from his mothers 'Cigarettes'. "Can you to analyze some fibers we found at a crime scene?" Trunks took out the bag with the fibers and handed them to his mother

"Sure can do." Bulma replied as she took the bag before muttering "That reminds me. I need to call Raoul I'm running low."

"What was that?" Trunks inquired.

"Oh, nothing." Bulma replied with a smile.

"Wasn't there two other people working in here the last time I visited?" Trunks inquired noticing Bulma was the only one in the Crime Lab.

"Yeah, but they requested transfers." Bulma replied. "Apparently, they couldn't work properly citing a "hazardous work environment." light weights..."

"Well...I should really be going now." Trunks said as he began to walk away.

"Hey, wait." Bulma replied grabbing her son by the arm. "Give your momma a hug."

"...Alright." Trunks replied as went to give his mother a hug only for her to blow a huge puff of smoke in his face upon finishing the hug.

"Enjoy." Bulma said with a wink.

"...Every time." Trunks as walked away in a daze.
