-I am the Great Saiyaman -

The day went by quickly after Gohan and Videl got back to school. The mystery man at the hostage situation was on his mind all day, but he didn't let that distract that from his learning. Lessons went by and lunches were devoured. Not before long, school was over. Sharpener, Jimmy and Clipper headed off to the gym, Erasa went out to the mall with some of her friends. Gohan and Videl headed to the park to enjoy the sun and catch up on some homework and work they missed when they went off to save the hostages. After they done the last page of their maths homework, the sun was setting and the chilly wind was starting to pick up, they figured that it was time to head home. Since Videl's mansion was not that far, they both decided to walk there instead of flying, hand in hand.

Gohan and Videl had like their little stroll they were saddened by the fact that soon the Satan Mansion was in sight. As they walked up to the gates, a security camera followed their movements and the gates opened and they walked in. They both stopped at the grand doors and faced one another. Videl smiled up and him and Gohan only did the same to her and opened his arms. She walked into them and he hugged her tight.

"The day went by too fast in my opinion." She sighed and she rested her head on his chest listening to his heartbeat.

"Not much you can do about that, but tomorrow is always a new day to look forward too." Gohan pushed her back only slightly so he could look down into her eyes. He rubbed his hands on her arms. She looked up at him.

"I know, but I'm going to miss you either way." Gohan smiled in humour from that, and only pulled her in another hug. She wrapped her arms his waist. After about a minute of hugged, they disentangled their arms and looked at each other.

"I guess I should head off now before my mum has a fit." Gohan smiled as Videl laughed.

"Yeah, your mum gets pretty scary. Better head home before she comes and barges down our gates demanding where you are." It was Gohan's turn to laugh.

"She tends to get like that sometimes." Gohan said. After a minute of just standing there, wanting to stay in each other's presence, a cool breeze went by making Videl shiver.

"You should get inside and have a hot shower." Videl nodded in agreement.

"A hot shower sounds good right now. Actually I might have a nice hot bath tonight, with bubbles, and candles in the dark." Videl cheekily grinned as Gohan's eyes widened, blushed and bit down on his lower lip. She couldn't hold it anymore and covered her mouth as she laughed. Gohan childishly frowned but the blush was still apparent on his face.

"I'm just going to go now." Gohan turned around and walked down the stairs, only to hear Videl calling him back but he ignored her. Taking a few more steps he felt something crashed into his back and hug him.

Still giggling, Videl said, "Don't be grumpy Gohan, I was just teasing you! You're so cute when you blush!" Gohan only huffed and rolled his eyes that were only followed with a dramatic up turning of his chin.

Jumping on his back, Videl kissed his cheek before whispering a goodnight in his ear then hopping off and headed back to the mansion. Turning around, Gohan said goodnight before hopping into the air and flying off.


By the time Gohan got home, it was dark and cold but the clouds around his house were cleared, showing a starry sky. When he got inside their warm house, he was greeted with his father and brother watching a movie on the television. From the smell of food wafting through the house, he believed his mother was in the kitchen cooking dinner. He took off his side bag and his shoes off before heading to his room. Inside, he placed his shoes by his door and went to his desk where he dropped his bag, opened it and took out his books and capsule case. He took his bag off the table and put his books on the far right hand corner.

He closed his curtains before leaving his room to join his family.

As soon as he got to the living room, his brother ran up to him, picked his nose and wiped his finger on Gohan's face before saying 'Snot face' and running off. Gohan groaned loudly in disgust and grabbed a tissue and rubbed the snot off his face. Goku, watching it all, laughed his face off while clutching his sides. With a small ki blast, the tissue with the snot was incinerated. Even though the booger was gone, Gohan rubbed his cheek on his shoulder continuously, still feeling the sensation of Goten's nose extract on his face as he sat down on the couch next to his father.

Goku was still giggling hysterically.

Giving his father a sarcastic like smile, Gohan finally looked at what they were watching on the television. Drop Dead Fred. No wonder Goten did that!

"When I see you Goten, I'm going to kill you!" Gohan yelled.

"No killing family members Gohan!" Chi-Chi yelled back.

"You get out of it this time Goten!" Gohan yelled.

Still grinning, Goku wrapped his arm over Gohan shoulder and pulled him in. Gohan simply leaned into his father as they both started to watch the movie again. Just a few minutes later, Goten warily walked back into the room and to the lounge, with a grin ear to ear. He kept his eyes on Gohan the whole time. When Gohan noticed him, he softly glared at his younger brother the whole time. If anything, Goten's grin got bigger than it was before.

Seeing that his brother wasn't going to move from his spot, Goten slowly walked up the lounge and sat on father lap to watch the movie again. Soon Goten full attention was on the movie. That was until Gohan made a strike and pinched his brothers' arm.

"Ouch Gohan! Why did you do that for!" Goten scooted off his father's lap and onto the other side, using his father as a shield.

"Take a wild guess Goten! Snot face me again, and I'll use you as my tissue and blow my nose all over you." Gohan warned as he stared unblinking into Goten's eyes. Goten just stared right back. Goku stopped watching the rest of Drop Dead Fred and was watching his sons' interactions instead.

"You wouldn't!" The little one dared. At this, Gohan suddenly stood up, eyes still locked onto Goten. Next thing Goten knew what that Gohan's face was right next to his.

"You would be right there." Gohan whispered. Suddenly he started to tickle Goten's sides. "But that doesn't mean I won't get pay back by tickling you."

Goku laughed as he held Goten in place as Gohan tickled him. Goten screamed in laughter.

This continued for some time until Chi-Chi yelled 'Dinner' out and Goku and Gohan ran into the kitchen followed by a Goten who was struggling to get his breath back, but had a large smile on his face. Soon when they were all seated, and began to eat. Chi-Chi finished before her husband and sons, but they weren't that far behind. She put her dirty plate in the sink and went to Goku. She wiped some rice that landed on his cheek and processed to kiss him there. She the stood up and walked to the exit of the kitchen then turned around.

"I'm going to have a wash, don't forget that it's your turn to wash up the dishes Goku." She then headed off. Goku just whined, but soon finished off his food.

Soon all the food was gone, Goku started to do the dishes and Gohan took Goten in the living room, waiting until the bathroom was free. Gohan took off his watch, pressed the button and his Saiyaman costume appeared on the ground. Picking up the helmet, Gohan inspected a slightly bend antenna. Goten, being Goten, picked up the tunic with the cape and put it on and laughed. Gohan grinned at Goten and the younger brother hovered around the room. Looking back his helmet, he straightened the antenna and put it down. He then continued to watch Goten.

His mother entered the room and yelled at Goten who was hovering all around the room. Returning back to the ground, Goten took of the costume and gave it back to Gohan who put it back with the rest of the clothing and returned it back into the watch.

Goku entered the room and sighed heavily, stretching his arms and cracking his neck. He joined his wife on the couch and watched the television which was showing the news. Chi-Chi looked at Gohan.

"You need a wash and so does Goten. Don't forget to put your uniform in the wash. I already iron your other uniform and it's hanging in your wardrobe." Gohan nodded at his mother. Picking up his brother and flipping him over his shoulder, Gohan walked into the bathroom.


After washing his brother and then himself, Gohan got dressed in his bedroom and then proceeded to lie in his bed. He only had his lamp on that gave his room a nice warm glow. He was staring up at the ceiling in thought about the man at the hostage situation.

There was something about that man. He didn't know what it was. It just the way he talked, the way he smiled. It just rubbed Gohan the wrong way. The longer Gohan thought about, he noticed that he never sensed the man's ki. Not even once.

He was so lost in thought that he didn't hear the knocking on his door. It was only when Goku popped his head in and called his name that he snapped out of his trance.

"Hey son, can I come in?" Goku asked.

"Yeah, I suppose." Gohan got up in a sitting position when Goku walked in and closed the door behind him. Goku took a seat next to Gohan making the bed bounce slightly. Gohan just ran a hand thought his hair as he took a deep breath in.

"What's wrong Gohan?" Goku went straight to the point.

"Huh, what do you mean dad? Nothing is wrong." Goku raised an eyebrow. One side of his mouth went down in a frown. Gohan sighed heavily again and looked down at his hands.

"Gohan, you've been annoyed all day. Don't tell me that there is nothing is wrong when there obviously is."

"Okay, okay. There was a hostage situation today but that isn't my problem. There was this strange man I met before I went in to save the hostages and, I don't know dad, there was something weird about this guy. I've been thinking about this all day." Gohan said and looked up at his father. Goku placed a comforting hand on Gohan's shoulder.

"Want me to take care of it Gohan?" Goku grinned as Gohan laughed. Trust his father to try and come in to save the day.

"No thank you daddy. It's probably nothing. He did say he was a fan, and I'm most likely just edgy about seeing a fan, especially before I save hostages." Gohan said.

"Well you know you can always come to me if you need me for something. I've been bored, and Vegeta is not sparring with me until he gets stronger." Goku smiled and stood up. "Well I should let you sleep. You have school tomorrow, and you need your sleep. I need to put you brother to bed too. He's been walking around the living room like a zombie for the past half an hour, trying to stay up."

"Haha, alright Dad, see you in the morning." Gohan smiled as his father gave a small wave before walking out the door and closing it.

Smiling Gohan laid back down in his bed and went back to staring at the roof of his room.

Maybe it really was all nothing. Maybe he really has been thinking on this a bit too much.

Deciding that maybe it was all just himself over-reacting on this, he turned towards his lamp, switched it off and went under his covers. For now, sleep sounded nice.


The sun rose to another day, but unlike the one that had just passed, it was sunny, the birds were chirping away and that little gap that the curtain just could not reach to cover, shone the bright sunlight right onto Gohan's face. Not wanting to get up yet, he turned over and pulled the covers over his face.

Just when he was starting to relax again and ready to fall asleep, he heard sound of his door opening. Before he could pull his covers over his head, Goten was bouncing all over him.

"Wake up Gohan, wake up. Wake up, wake up, wake up! Wakey wakey, rise and shine!" Goten quickly spoke as he continued to bounce on top of Gohan as the older boy groaned, and to turn around.

"You won't wake him like that Goten. Here," Goku picked up his youngest son and placed him on the ground before picking up the ends of the blanket and ripping them off Gohan.

It took a moment for Gohan to react, but when he did, he groaned loudly and curled up into a ball. Goku just looked at Goten, and seeing him wanting to jump on Gohan gave him the 'okay' to do so. This is resulted to Goku laughing and Gohan trying and failing to stop his little brother.

"Okay! I'm up! Get off me Goten!" Gohan sat up in his bed. Goten giggled before jumping off the bed and running out of the room, followed by a giggling Goku.

He yawned, stretched and got out of bed. Taking a glance at his clock, he saw that his father and Goten had woke him up half an hour earlier than what he had set on his alarm. He turned off his alarm anyway so it wouldn't ring later. Gohan left his room, not bothering to open his curtains.

Walking into the kitchen, he saw his father helping his mother with the cooking. Chi-Chi was over the stove, concentrating on the scrambled eggs, while Goku was making pancake batter. Goten was sitting at the table working on some easy maths revision that his mother had set for him. Gohan took a seat next to him and looked at his little brothers' work. Smile at Goten's answers, he leaned back in his chair and looked over to his parents.

Chi-Chi had just finished with the eggs and getting starting on the pancakes that Goku had mixed and given to her. His father was pouring giant glasses of orange juice and placing them on the table before leaving two full cartons on the table, and quickly drinking the rest out of the half-empty one before Chi-Chi saw. She didn't see him, but when he went to go over to her to check on how the pancakes were going, she noticed a little bit of an orange juice mustache on Goku and scowled at him.

After the pancakes were finished and brought to the table, Goten took his math work off the table, quickly walked to the living room and place it their be fore hurrying back to the kitchen and into his chair and starting eating with everyone else. Not long after, everyone was finished, and Gohan got up and had a quick shower before putting his uniform on, including his watch. He checked his bag to see if he had everything that he needed and set off, after Goten ran up to him and gave him a goodbye hug.

In the sky, Gohan enjoyed the rush of fresh morning air that surrounded him. The sun was beaming down on him and he had a feeling that it was going to be a great day.

Just his usual schedule, he landed in an alleyway in Satan city, and walked his walk to school. Looking at his watch, he noticed he still had half an hour before school started. He decided to walk around the city before headed to school. Why waste this beautiful morning anyway?

Just ten minutes into his little joyous walk, he heard it. Sirens and screaming. Quickly looking around, and seeing no one, he changed into the Great Saiyman and flew towards the screaming.

The site where the crime was taking place just astounded him. It looked like a large office building, a dull gray colour. In front of it was a large car park and beside it were more office buildings. The building where the crime was taking place though was damaged. Windows were smashed and glass littered the ground. Fire erupted on the top of the building and the firefighters were struggling to get it. Some were even on the neighbouring buildings, trying to extinguish the fires. The ambulances were at the scene near the entrance tending to the wounded or rushing them to the closest hospital. Sirens were going off and red and blue lights were flashing all over the place, combined with the helicopter that was flying overhead.

Overall, it was very hectic, and a barely controlled situation.

Every time Gohan had stopped a crime he had NEVER seen the SWAT there. They surrounded the building, helping victims out of the fire. They were swarming the place. What shocked him even more was that even members of the swat team were taken out and being treated. They were wounded heavily. He was shocked. He could hear bullets being fired faintly from inside. The strangest and more shocking to him was that there was no indication of evil ki inside the building. He could only sense victims who he had originally thought was from the fire, from their erratic ki signature. What had caused these injuries to the SWAT members? What was in there?

Gohan said goodbye to his beautiful morning and dove in, right in the middle of the chaos and ran straight to the entrance, only to be stopped by two SWAT members who were standing in front of the door.

"No one is allowed to enter." The man on the left said.

"But don't you know who I am?" Gohan asked, making his voice go an octave lower than his normal voice.

"I do, but I have been given orders to not let anyone enter. I'm sorry Mr. Saiyaman." He replied. Gohan growled. He looked above and he couldn't exactly break in one of the windows without letting the fire break out. The roof was also out the question since the fire was there as well. His only entrance was the front door, and he couldn't barge in without breaking the law. Gohan growled even more and looked at his watch. Only a few minutes have gone by, but time was nearing closer to the bell when school starts. He looked around to find the chief. Once he spotted him near a man in a suit who was talking, he quickly flew over.

Once he got over there and heard their conversation, he realised that they were arguing.

"- not interfere with our investigation." The man said.

"I will interfere if any citizen of this city or any of my men gets hurt." The chief said.

"No one is going to be hurt."

"Then explain why your men are coming out of that building bleeding?"

"That is none of your concern."

A vein appeared on the chief's forehead and Gohan decided to interrupt before things got out of hand. More than it was anyway. The chief noticed Gohan and sighed. The man in the suit just frowned at Gohan.

"Great Saiyaman! Thank goodness you're here!" The chief said and Gohan nodded.

"Look chief, I need access to the building, and I can't get in. The men at the door said I can't enter. I need permission." The chief groaned and Gohan raised an eyebrow.

"The SWAT isn't mine to order. Those men belong to this man," he pointed to the man in the suit, "and you need his permission." Gohan looked towards the man in the suit, and he was contemplating.

"Great Saiyaman. I've heard of you. My name is Agent Gent, and I'm currently investigating this attack." Agent Gent introduced himself and lifted his hand up to give a handshake. Gohan took it and shook it.

"Agent Gent, I would like your permission for your men to move aside so I can enter the premises." Gohan said. Agent Gent looked at the building and sighed then looked back at Gohan.

"Saiyaman, I give you permission under one condition. There is something in that building that would further our research. It is strong, but I also know you are strong, and possibly able to defeat this thing. You're only allowed to enter IF you defeat this creature but leave its corpse intact." Agent Gent crossed his arms as soon as he finished.

Shocked, Gohan looked back towards the building to search for any ki to see if he missed anything in his earlier search. He still couldn't feel anything. He looked back at Agent Gent and nodded.

The agent took a walkie-talkie off his belt and turned it on.

"The Great Saiyaman has permission to enter the premises. All men are not to engage to stop him." He placed it back into his belt.

"Thank you Agent Gent." Gohan said before running back to the entrance of the building. Agent Gent turned back towards the chief of police and began their argument.


Gohan ran straight through the open doors, mindful the dodge the troops that were being brought out wounded. Frowning, Gohan quickened his pace. He was about to run upstairs when he heard guns being fired from down below. 'The Basement' Gohan thought before running down a hallway and reaching a door that was also guarded by more SWAT members. They didn't acknowledge him as he ran between both of them and down the stairs.

When he got to the bottom, he entered a room where SWAT members were taking a breather. The room was big enough to house about thirty of them. Cement created the walls, roofs and ground. Some of the more injured ones sat down or leaned on crates and boxes that accompanied the room. Others were on the ground also catching their breath or reloading their guns. On the other side of the room were two large metal doors where the sounds of the gunfire were coming from. Most of the men kept a wary eye on it. Some even had their guns aimed at it.

One of them who noticed him, walked towards Gohan. He was also worn out. Gohan noticed that his sleeve had been ripped with some blood dripping. Even though he was huffing, he grinned at Gohan.

"You have no idea how glad I am to see you Saiyaman." The man said.

"What's going on?" Gohan asked. The room shook and some dust fell from the roof. Gohan sneered, still not being able to sense anything.

"There is something in that room. It's a monster and it keeps shooting beams of light. As of now, none of my men are dead, but a few have gotten heavily injured. Our bullets aren't penetrating its skin, but they are hurting it as far as we know. It's all we can do to keep it back inside that room," The man pointed to the door, "If you're going to enter, there are two small rooms on either side of the entrance. It is where we are currently taking cover when fighting it. The creature or whatever it is, is just past those two rooms and is in a larger, and spacer area." He finished.

"Thanks, but I think I'll take care of things for now." Gohan said.

"What ... How?" The man asked.

"Don't worry about that, as soon as I enter, I want you to order your men out of that room. Got it?" The man nodded and Gohan walked up to the door and glanced at his watch.

'Crap! Twelve minutes till school! I need to hurry this up!' Thought Gohan before a loud roar shook the room. He ran through the doors.

The man description of the room was right. Two smaller rooms were on either side of Gohan. In the rooms from what Gohan could see, men had set up machine guns and were firing away through little windows. Besides the machine runs, others were firing away on their assault rifles.

Sadly, the rooms blocked off the whole picture in the other room. What Gohan did see was that men were in the larger room firing at something off to the side. They were running around and successful dodging the ki blasts that were being fired from that Gohan believes is the creature.

The men, who were firing in the middle of the larger room, suddenly ran back. The creature finally appeared in Gohan's line of sight. It was disgusting, and it defiantly wasn't natural. It was a monster.

The monster was a dark gray, almost appearing black. It was thin and bony, giving it a sickly appearance. It was about the size of two grown men. It had a pair of legs and two pairs of arms that were equipped with large, sharp claws. The legs were short but still long enough to appear bony. Its' feet were long and flat. One pair of arms was long, giving the creature balanced as it walked around. The other was much smaller and curled around its chest, almost useless. Both were bony. The creatures' body was long and its ribs could be seen through the monsters dark skin.

The head of the creature was bizarre at best. It had a long mandible that overlapped its upper jaw line. Large sharp teeth were protruding out of it. Saliva was dripping out and landing on the ground. Its eyes were sunken in and glowed a deep purple. It had long ears on either side of its head. It had spikes along its spine that jutted out in an uneven pattern.

Gohan quickly yelled at the men to fall back, who were then given the order to leave the room. The men, who were running around the room, hastily ran for the exit as the men from the rooms gave them cover fire. Just as the last man was about to exit the room, the creature let off a ki beam from its mouth.

Quickly reacting, Gohan ran in front of the blast before it hit the man. It didn't hurt him, but he was shocked at how powerful the blast was.

"Get out of here now!" Gohan yelled as he ran towards the monster.

The man and the others in the other smaller rooms quickly retreated through the metal doors, closing them. Seeing that everyone was out, the monster focused solely on Gohan. It let out a loud roar and charged at Gohan.

It wasn't very quick and Gohan got out of the way, and moving deeper within the larger room. He shot a small ki blast at it drawing its attention away from the doors. It growled and opened its mouth charging a ki blast. It shot it and Gohan simply shot one of his own ki blasts back into the larger one headed for him, effective destroying it mid path. When the smoke covered the middle of the room, blocking Gohan from the monsters sight, he disappeared, only to reappear beside it and dropped kicked it in the small of its back.

The creature roared in agony as its spine was snapped, rendering the legs dead. Gohan quickly realised that the creature, besides the ki attacks, was really weak. It couldn't handle a kick. This made things easier.

Suddenly a large hand came up out of nowhere and knocked Gohan across the room, leaving a crack in the wall. Re-adjusting himself, Gohan wiped his shoulders and looked up. The monster was charging another ki blast.

With his speed, in a fraction of a second, Gohan appeared the creature, and with a swift blow, he cracked its neck effectively killing it. The ki blast it was charging dwindled out of life and the body landed on the ground. Landing next to the creatures large head, Gohan frowned at it.

Something like this ... shouldn't exist. The creature was something out of a nightmare, out of a horror story, yet it was here. It existed.

Moving the creature to its side with his foot, Gohan took one of its smaller fingers into his hand and broke it off. If there was one person on the world who could figure this out, it would be Bulma. He clutched the bony finger and looked at his watch.

'CRAP! FIVE MINUTES TO GO!' Gohan quickly ran for the door and was greeted with the SWAT members.

"I've taking care of that creature." Gohan said before heading for the stairs. Behind him he heard the men gasp and say small remarks such as 'No way!' and 'Incredible.' being said.

He finally made it out of the building, and was once again greeted with the loud and flashy sirens. He ran towards Agent Gent.

"The deals done. The creature is dead and in the basement." Gohan said and before the Agent to get a word out, he flew off into the air, disappearing to the normal human eye. He landed into the closest alleyway.

He looked at the finger and was about to switch his Saiyaman uniform for his school uniform when a familiar voice interrupted him.

"Simply amazing, Great Saiyaman. You truly never cease to amaze me." Gohan's head snapped up to see the man from yesterday, with that grin placed on his face. Gohan frowned at hit, with a slight glare.

"That creature you fought, it was mine. It was one of the first that I created in the batch I have made that were successful." He said with a gleeful expression. Gohan glared and sneered are him.

"Are you crazy! Who are you! What was that thing in there? Do you know how many people you could have killed?" Gohan yelled at him.

"Not crazy, no not at all. It was all for research Great Saiyaman." The man pushed his glasses back on a comfortable position. Gohan sneer deepened.

"Research for what?" Gohan quietly growled out. He could feel his power level rising with his anger. The man grin grew larger.

"You." The man broke out in laughter as Gohan gasped and reeled back in shock. Suddenly a bright light appeared behind the man, blinding Gohan momentarily.

When Gohan got his vision back, the man was nowhere to be scene. Gohan couldn't even feel his ki signature. Letting out a low growl, Gohan punched the wall next to him in frustration.

Taking in a deep breath, Gohan calmed his nerves. He opened his palm with the bony finger. That was his only answer to this mystery right now. That creature was connected to that man. He clutched it once more in his hand.

He glanced at his watch. Two more minutes to go before the bell.

Seeing that he wasn't going to make it with running, he simply took off and flew towards his school and landed on the roof. He took off his glove and used it as a little pouch as he put the finger inside of it. He switched back to his school uniform, and looked at his watch. A minute to spare.

He look in a deep breath and grabbed the strap of his side bag, moving it to a comfortable position on his shoulder before opening the door and headed for class.

After school, a trip to Capsule Corporation was needed.

- I am the Great Saiyaman -

A/N: Woo-hoo! Another chapter done. This time it is around 5,400+ words this time! Much better than last time and I am rather happy about it!

So who IS this guy? Y U NO SAY YOUR NAME, MR. MAN!

Anyway, I noticed that later chapter took away my scene breaks! Why I ought to ... –Shakes fist at sight and their silliness- I had planned this chapter to go out much earlier but there was this contest on Deviantart that wanted to enter and I had only a week left to finish off my piece. Hopefully I win! If I don't, I had fun drawing it anyway haha! You're probably wondering why I chose the movie Drop Dead Fred, right? The reason why I chose it was because I wanted to keep this era in Dragon Ball in the 90's. Goten character was created a few months after I was born and Drop Dead Fred was made around that time, so I thought it was the perfect movie. Sure I could have picked Robin Hood: Man in Tights or even Ghost Busters but I wanted Drop Dead Fred. I actually re-watched the movie after I wrote that scene and I couldn't stop laughing my head off. Seriously, if you haven't seen it, go watch it!

Until next time readers! I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
