Hero's Spirit

(A/N: I might skip some points on the DBZ side. Why? Because you should know them already. I will probably mention them in a small explanation, subtitle thing, but not a full blown segment of the story)

Plh: Yusuke can use his unique Sacred Energy, but I wouldn't say 'mastered it' just yet

Deflow: This happens just after the end of the anime. I'm not taking ALL the OVAs into account here, I just thought Yusuke having his ramen stand would be a nice touch. As for the whole Power Level thing, I prefer to just wing it. Still it's nice to know that Team Urameshi would be somewhat capable of matching the Z-Fighters.

Chapter 2

Yusuke and Keiko were at the usual Ramen Stand, with Yusuke giving her a review of what his first day of High School was like. "Well Yusuke, guess some things really don't change. Could you go at least 1 day without skipping a class?" She scolded him. "Oh, come off it Keiko, it was just Gym." Yusuke groaned. "By the way, what do you think I should do about that Videl girl? I've only just met her, and I don't think she's just gonna ask to be my friend." Keiko looked up in thought for a moment. "I don't have the answer to that Yusuke, but maybe she'll lay off if you just ignore her." she suggested. Yusuke chuckled, "I doubt that. After all, it didn't work on you." he laughed out. Keiko shot Yusuke a glare, that shut him up.

"Oh yeah. You said there was someone powerful in your new school. Shouldn't we be worried?" Keiko asked. "Right, I almost forgot." Yusuke started. "Well, this other new kid, Gohan, I'm positive he's the 'Gold Fighter' everyone's talking about." Yusuke explained. "How do you know for sure?" Keiko asked. "Well for one he was wearing the same thing, second while my Spirit Awareness isn't as good as Kuwabara's, I'm positive Gohan and the Gold Fighter have the same energy signal, and third, Gohan jumped 10 feet in the air during a baseball game!" Yusuke said. Keiko thought about it for another moment. "Maybe you should go see Genkai about this. If anyone can figure this out, it's her." Keiko suggested. "Of course! That's brilliant. Let's go!" Yusuke said grabbing Keiko's arm. "Hey wait! Yusuke!" she called as Yusuke pulled her along.

(Meanwhile, just outside of West City)

Gohan had just received a watch courtesy of Bulma. At the push of a button, the watch materialized a costume for Gohan to hide the use of his powers. After a few moments of hanging with Trunks, Gohan took to the skies on Nimbus. "Wait," he said to himself. "If I make an appearance in my new suit, they'll all forget about the Gold Fighter." Gohan pushed his 'Transformation Button' and jumped off of Nimbus in his new 'uniform'. Gohan flew off at full speed, where he came across a crazy out of control car on the freeway. Never missing a chance to help, Gohan landed forcefully in the car's path. "You fools! Do you have any clue how dangerous that is?" Gohan called out to the persons inside. The two came out of the car. "Hey, what're you supposed to be, a public service announcer?" The first one said. "We don't take to kindly to jokers here. You got a name for yourself little funny man, huh?" the second one taunted. "A name?" Gohan thought for a second. "Got it! Guardian of the city! I am…The Great Saiyaman!" He declared while in a 'fist pump' pose.

(With Yusuke and Keiko)

The two had finally arrived at Genkai's temple. "Well, it's been a while since we came to visit our favorite old hag, eh?" Yusuke said. Keiko elbowed him in the chest. They walked up to find Yukina, and she was talking to- "Wha-! Kuwabara?" Yusuke exclaimed. "Hmm?" Kuwabara turned around. "Urameshi! Keiko!" he said "Hello. It's been a while," Yukina added. "I'll say" Keiko replied. "So, what brings you here, you dropout?" Kuwabara asked. Yusuke glared at Kuwabara. "Don't call me that moron, and besides, the fact I'm in school is why I'm here." Yusuke explained.

"I'm flattered you chose to come to me, but even I can't do the impossible and make you an academic wonder, Dimwit." said a new voice. "Hello Yusuke, and you too Keiko." Genkai greeted. "Master Genkai." "Hey Grandma, long time no see." Yusuke said. "I assume this isn't a personal visit, am I right?" She said getting straight to business. "Yeah." Yusuke confirmed. "Well…I can't help you." "I HAVEN'T ASKED ANYTHING YET!" Everyone started laughing. "I'm a psychic Yusuke, not a miracle worker. I can't help you pass your classes, only you can." Genkai said with her trademark 'troll face'. Yusuke started fuming. "It's not about studying! It's not a 'What goes on at school,' it's more of a who." That got the other's attention as Yusuke started explaining.

"So this new kid Gohan, just might be even stronger than Raizen." Yusuke just finished telling them his first impressions of Gohan and what he gathered from when they stopped the bank robbery. "Well Urameshi, didn't think you'd be the 'Public Hero' type," Kuwabara said. "Shut up! Was I supposed to just let those guys get away with shooting people?" Before a fight could break out between the two, Genkai spoke up. "You said this boy's name is Gohan right? Son Gohan?" she asked. "Yeah, I think so." Yusuke confirmed. "I think I may have an answer for his strength." Genkai cleared her throat as the four teens gathered around her. "Many years ago, when I was even younger than you all are now," "Bet that takes you back doesn't it Grandma? [THWACK!] Ahaho…my coccyx!" "As I was saying, before I even met Toguro, I was an aspiring martial artist. One day, while on a personal training trip, I came across an old man with a baby. The old man's name was Son Gohan."

Yusuke gasped when he heard this. "Wait! So the old man you met has the exact same name as my classmate? That's TOO weird to be a coincidence." Yusuke said. "I agree. It's possible they could just be related in some way, but in this time, my Gohan would be long gone." Genkai said. "Wait, wouldn't the baby Old Man Gohan had be an adult right now?" Keiko chimed in. "Yes, of course. If my memory serves, the child's name was Goku." she explained. Yusuke and Kuwabara thought back. "Hey! I think I remember that name. Some kind of powerful martial artist from before we were even born." Yusuke said. "Yeah, I think I remember he was the winner of the World Martial Arts Tournament before that afroed moron Hercule showed up." Kuwabara added.

Yusuke started chuckling. "Weird you just brought him up Kuwabara, cause his daughter's in my class." he proclaimed. "Really? Well how is she? One of those stuck up snotty rich girls?" Kuwabara asked. "I…can't say for sure, but I will say she doesn't know how to mind her own business." Yusuke answered.

"Master Genkai, do you recall anything about a monster called Cell?" Keiko asked. "Oh yeah. Everyone kept bringing that up when I said I didn't recognize Mr. Satan." Genkai took a cross-legged pose and closed her eyes. "I remember Cell fondly. Seven years ago, there was news of a city called Gingertown losing all of it's citizens. That mystery led to another when a number of islands in the east disappeared. Not long after, the creature made himself publicly known and hosted a tournament in an attempt to find the ultimate challenge: The Cell Games. I had already known that nobody on earth stood a chance against his overwhelming power…or so I thought. A small legion of fighters stepped in with incredible strength and control of their energy. The one who stepped up to fight was a man with spiky blonde hair. After what was an incredibly entertaining brawl, the man surrendered and called his successor. The successor was a small boy, no older than 10 years old."

"What!?" The teens all gasped. "Who the hell puts a 10 year old kid up to fight an evil monster?" Yusuke asked. "Don't look so surprised, dimwit. You've fought crazy beasts before your balls fully dropped." Genkai said with a teasing smirk. Yusuke gritted his teeth, trying to think of a comeback, but drew a blank. "Stupid hag," he said under his breath.

"Anyway, I could see all the resemblance, that boy was the man's son." "Well, that explains a lot." Kuwabara interjected. "He must've really had confidence in the kid." "And rightfully so Kuwabara. After the boy got thrashed around for a bit, the last thing I remember is watching him explode with rage and release power so great, you could possibly feel it even in The Demon World." Genkai finished up. "Okay, as awesome as that sounds, what does that have to do with this Satan guy?" Genkai snapped her fingers. "I knew I forgot something. The fight had ended after the TV lost reception, but according to a radio feed, Hercule defeated Cell, but I knew it was a load of crap. All that moron did was talk smack and get bitch slapped." Yusuke and Kuwabara started laughing. "I'd pay to see that." Yusuke said.

Yukina, who had stepped away from the story circle to get tea, returned. "Guys, there's something on the TV you might wanna see." she said. The group followed her to Genkai's TV where a news broadcast about a new hero was airing.

"This mysterious costumed avenger, so graciously prevented what could've been a great disaster on the traffic of this area by stopping a road raging car. The crazy drivers are now being taken to spend a few days in jail. The city owes a great thanks to the hero who calls himself, 'The Great Saiyaman'".

The TV showed an image of Gohan in his new costume and Yusuke and Kuwabara immediately started cracking up. "What the hell kinda costume is that?" Yusuke managed out. "I know, he looks like a retarded Power Ranger!" The two boys ceased laughing when Keiko and Genkai shot them glares. "In all seriousness Yukina, why would we need to know about this?" Keiko asked. Before she could answer, Yusuke did it for her. "Because I'm 90% sure that that's Gohan under that helmet." "Yes, and I'm 100% sure that your Gohan is the boy from the Cell Games. And on that note, I'm also sure that my Gohan's grandson is your Gohan's father Yusuke." Genkai said. "That should explain why he's so powerful. He's the son of a formerly famous martial artist." Kuwabara concluded. "Yeah, but that still doesn't tell me how they get their hair to do that glowy blonde thing." Yusuke said. "That's one piece of the puzzle, your gonna have to fit together yourself slacker."

(The Next Day)

Gohan, in his hero costume, flew full speed to another day at Orange Star High. Actually on time, he landed on the roof, changed back to his street clothes, and proceeded to his first period class, unaware that there was a witness to his 'Transformation'.

In the class, Gohan couldn't help but listen in on a conversation about his alter ego. 'I knew it. Everyone's talking about me now.' Gohan chuckled, pleased with himself when Videl's watch started beeping. "Chief, what is it?" she asked. "Videl, there's a gang of thugs who've hijacked a city bus. We'd normally handle this ourselves, but they've got hostages." he replied. "I'll be right there." she said while rushing out the door. "What's up with her?" Gohan asked Erasa. "She went to go stop the bad guys. What else?" "All alone? Isn't that dangerous?" "Calm down Brainiac," Sharpener assured him. "She's Mr. Satan's daughter. She's nearly as strong as her father." Gohan let that sink in for a moment. 'That clenches it, she needs backup." Gohan asked to be excused to the bathroom and headed straight towards the roof of the school. "Alright. Now what's a good, transformation phrase?" Gohan said to himself. "Saiya Power!…No that sucks. How about…Transform-a-go-go!…No that's worse. Screw it, TRANSFORM!" he shouted out changing into his costume. Saiyaman then flew off the roof in stealthy pursuit of Videl's jet.

(Meanwhile)

Yusuke stayed on the roof all day after he saw Gohan land and change, thinking about how to confront him. Yusuke was jarred from his thoughts by the sight of Videl's Jet blasting off from the school. "Where's she going?" he asked out loud. Not wanting to miss any action, Yusuke jumped off the roof, and fired a Shotgun blast downward to cushion his fall. Knowing he wouldn't catch up on foot, he 'borrowed' a nearby bike, and started pedaling with all he had.

Videl had caught up to the hijacked bus with Gohan close behind, unbeknownst to her. "Alright you punks, your free rides over!" She said while crashing into the window. "I think not, toots. Get her boys!" The leader commanded. The henchmen guys started firing directly at her, but Videl leaped up and bounded off the bus's roof, landing two decent kicks on them. While Videl was dealing with the two gunmen, the leader started coaxing the driver thug to go faster and try to throw of Videl's center of balance. The plan almost worked, until it caused her to tumble into the leader and knocked him and, miraculously the driver unconscious.

The hostages started cheering, thinking they were saved until one man realized, "Wait, who's driving this thing!?" Apparently, he realized to late as the bus started rolling off the edge of a cliff. Everybody panicked in the face of the inevitable until…the bus just stopped falling…gently. Videl looked out the window to see how they had survived and looked down below to see a costumed figure holding the bus effortlessly.

When the bus was back on stable ground, the citizens cheered once again for their two heroes. "That was incredible I tell ya." "Absolutely awe-inspiring." Videl took a step forward with a small smile and asked the costumed savior. "So…just who are you." "I am…Guardian of the City!" he started while striking Ginyu styled poses. "I am the one and only…Great Saiyaman!" he introduced himself. Everyone sweat dropped. "I'll see you again soon Videl." He said while flying away. 'How does he know my name!?' Videl thought.

"Man. What the hell happened here?" Yusuke asked to no one particularly. Videl turned towards the familiar voice. "Yusuke? What're you doing here? Better question, why weren't you in class today? And did you see that guy with the cape?" she asked frantically. "To answer your questions, I came to help, school bores me, and yes." Videl was about to ask him another question when the unconscious criminals came too and tried to escape. "Hey! Where do ya think you're goin'?!" Yusuke shouted. Before Videl could say anything else, Yusuke sprinted to them, leaped high in the air, and brought both his forearms down on their heads. "And stay down this time." Videl and the former hostages stood there flabbergasted. "What?" Yusuke asked. An awkward silence later, Videl agreed to fly Yusuke back to school, if he answered some questions.

(In the jet on the ride back)

"Where'd you learn to fight to like that?" Videl asked. "Self taught, I'm a street fighter." "How'd you follow the bus?" "On a bike". "Are you serious?" "Completely." "What do you know about Saiyaman?" "Just that he looks like a Power Ranger on crack." the two laughed. "You're a pretty decent guy Yusuke." Videl said. "Well, glad you think so cause I can't guarantee you'll see me too much. Like I said, school bores me." Yusuke replied. "You could go to class and pretend to care like everyone else." Videl suggested. "Hmmm…nah." They finally returned to the school where Videl let him off on the roof. "Thanks for the lift." Yusuke said. Videl gave a two fingered salute and landed in front of the school. "Now, back to problem (A). How to confront Gohan about his powers." yusuke said.

End of Chapter

(A/N: What do you think of Genkai knowing Grandpa Gohan? I wanted to give the Yu Yu Hakusho gang some insight into the Z-Fighters, and Yusuke a legitimate lead to go on. Before anyone asks Yusuke x Videl is NOT HAPPENING. It's Canon Pairings. Leave a Review.)
