"Why do you have a gun on school property?"
--------
"Gohan! Please stop worrying about those two!" Videl pleaded as they sat down with Eraza and Sharpner at an outside table for their lunch period. Gohan sighed in stress as he couldn't figure out if what he sensed was good or evil. This irritated Videl to the point where she would have slapped him if he wasn't her boyfriend. "GOHAN!!! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!!"
Gohan snapped out of his thoughts as he finally realized Videl was trying to talk to him. "Sorry Videl; what were you saying?"
"You don't have to repeat it Videl; he's just jealous because he's afraid you like Percy." Sharpner chuckled as he couldn't wait to see how mad Videl would get. He wasn't disappointed…
"What?!" Gohan squeaked as he knew this wasn't going to end well.
Videl slammed her fists against the table. "Gohan; is this true?! Were you just saying that you felt something strange just to cover up your jealousy?!!!"
Gohan waved his hands in defense. "No Videl! It's not like that at all!"
"Oh REALLY?! How do I know that's not a lie?!! You tend to lie a lot you know!!"
"I swear it's the truth! – And in my defense, I only lie to keep my family's privacy; you know that!"
"I hope we're not interrupting anything…" Percy trailed off as both he and Serena took a seat next to Eraza; trying to ignore the heat between the two. Gohan looked at them suspiciously before feeling someone slug him in the arm; knowing it was Videl instantly.
"Don't worry," She began as she slouched in her chair a bit. "You weren't interrupting anything."
Gohan laughed nervously before sitting back down; slowly unpacking his lunch.
"I'm Percy and this is my friend Serena, what are your names?"
Videl crossed her arms and looked down with anger apparent on her face.
"Well, my name is Eraza!" Eraza said happily.
"My name is Sharpner; and I work out my guns everyday…" He bragged before winking at Serena. Serena winced and would have slugged him in the arm if Percy didn't give her a death glare.
Videl blew her short black bangs out of her eyes. "I'm Videl Satan and he's the BIGGEST jerk on this planet!"
"I told you it wasn't true!" He whined. Percy studied all of them intently as if trying see if he could get a clue to which one they were suppose to be looking for.
"I'm Gohan…" He sighed in grief before he dumped the rest of his lunch out of his bag. Serena and Percy's eyes went wide in shock as they saw how much food Gohan had with him; it was enough for three whole picnics!
"Uh…you're not gonna eat ALL of that, are you?!" Serena asked with her brown eyes wide.
Gohan looked up at her weirdly. "Ya, why wouldn't I?"
"Isn't that a little too much?" Percy asked as shocked as Serena.
"Don't worry about 'brains', he can eat twice as much than that without having what muscle he does have turn into flab! But you might want to scoot away just a bit; trust me, he's a slob when he eats!"
"A slob? I'm way better than my dad when he eats!" Gohan retorted a bit confused before beginning to eat. Serena and Percy regretted not listening to Sharpner's advice as they were quickly covered in flying crumbs.
"I see what you're saying…" Serena trailed off as she tried to suppress her anger.
"That hit the spot!" Gohan said only a minute later.
"YOU'RE ALREADY DONE?!!" Percy almost yelled.
"Yep, but I'm still hungry…" Gohan trailed off as the all too familiar beeping of Videl's watch went off.
Videl quickly pressed the intercom button. "Yes sheriff; Videl here."
"Why is she talking to her watch?" Serena asked getting the idea that she was crazy until the watch replied.
"Thank goodness you answered! An entire elementary school is being held captive by a gang called 'The Assassins Gang.' They're threatening to blow up the entire building if we don't bring them ten million zenie."
"Alright, Saiyaman and I are on the way!" Videl reassured the sheriff before jumping out of her seat. "Can you guys cover for us while we're gone?"
"When you say 'us', you mean you're taking the nerd with you again?!"
"Hey! He's not a nerd! – Come on Gohan, we better hurry!" Gohan quickly got up and ran into the school building. Serena and Percy watched them with much confusion.
"Where did they go?"
"Didn't you hear? They're going to save the kids at the elementary school!"
Percy's eyes fell wide open in shock as he couldn't imagine those two fighting anyone besides themselves; especially Gohan. "Isn't, isn't that dangerous?"
"Not for Videl that is! She's the daughter of Mr. Satan! I'm just a little worried about Gohan…"
"Who's Mr. Satan?" Serena asked obviously not very interested in the conversation at hand.
Eraza and Sharpner nearly fell out of their seats anime style. "You mean you don't know who Mr. Satan is?!" Eraza said in an unconvinced tone.
"He saved us all from that killer Android Cell! Some say that Videl is actually stronger than her father now…"
Serena and Percy looked at each other with the same thought. She could just be the one they were looking for…
"YAY!!!" Goten shouted as he flew around and about the city at a dangerous speed. Newspapers, garbage, and even some trees blew widely around as the small child flew around for his own amusement. 'Mom never said where I could play at!' He laughed with his pure happy laugher that could make anyone happy. Nothing could have stopped him from having his fun; almost nothing…
"Help me!! Please, I can't get out!" Goten stopped immediately where he was and looked around for who was pleading for help. "HELP!!!" Goten finally pinpointed where it was coming from and quickly went down the block to see a small red bricked school. Inside the gate of what looked like the playground, a small boy about the same age as Goten was trying to climb the fence as fearful tears fell from his feeble eyes. Goten ran on over to the gate as fast as he could; accidentally frightening the small child as he fell on his back.
"What's wrong?" Goten asked as the boy slowly looked back on up at him. No matter how badly Goten scared him, something else was frightening him even more.
"Please, please get me outta here; before they come back!"
Goten looked up at the scaling fence before quickly scrambling over it and landing gracefully next to him. "Before who comes back?"
"Hey you kids!!!" An angered voice shouted from behind them.
"They caught us!!" The boy cried and tried to climb the fence again. The man pulled out his rifle and aimed it right at the two small boys.
"Come with me or I'll shoot you!"
Goten looked at him rather curiously. "Why do you have a gun on school property?"
The shocked man nearly dropped his gun when he heard the seven year old use such big words for his age; just to him. "Cause, cause I can! Now stop fooling around and get back in the building!!"
"I think your lieing sir. I may be home schooled, but I'm sure that no one is allowed to have weapons near it. So I suggest you leave or I'll tell my big brother on you!" Goten threatened; but still had a smile on his happy yet confused face.
"So you're going to tell your big brother on me eh?" He laughed. "Stop fooling around and get inside or I'll kill you both!"
"Killing is a bad thing. If I were you, I would reframe from attempting to try it." Goten said still with a confused expression as he didn't understand the situation. The little boy on the ground had enough and stood up slowly.
"Come on man! Let's do what he says, I don't wonna die!"
"Die why would you die…" He trailed off as the little boy dragged Goten inside the building; the man following close behind still trying to figure out if Goten was in special Ed or something.
"So where is this elementary school at again?" Gohan asked as he was now in his Saiyaman disguise; but had the bandanna on instead of his ridiculous helmet and without his red cape (Sorry Great Saiyaman lovers, but I can't stand Gohan when he's Saiyaman).
"It's about five minutes away if we keep this pace up, but three if we fly faster. You can fly faster, right?" Videl asked while holding her hand out to try and block some of the wind from getting in her eyes.
"Are you kidding? Of course I can! I wasn't sure if you could."
"Alright then, let's fly at top speed." Videl ordered as she took off.
'Okay then…' He said to himself before doing what he was told. In less than a minute, he passed Videl and arrived at the red bricked elementary school where cops were stationed outside. 'Hey, where'd Videl go?' He asked himself as he looked on behind him. Just in the distance, he could see a small dot coming towards him. 'Great…looks like I'm in for an earful this time…"
"Does Videl have….powers?" Percy asked in a lowered voice. Sharpner and Eraza looked at each other before laughing.
"Of course not! There's no such thing as powers!"
"Then how is she expecting to save all the kids?!" Serena asked getting worried. She loved little children and knowing that they were in danger frightened her so; a motherly instinct kicking in.
"She can do it; she's a master of the Martial Arts…"
'Mar, Martial Arts…that's what worries me…'
Goten looked at his surroundings to see that the school was actually large on the inside. It had about over fifteen classrooms with each being as large as an average sized living room. As they passed on by the empty classrooms, Goten didn't see any kids or adults around; but as he didn't understand the real danger he was in, he shrugged it off.
They came to an abrupt stop in front of a rather large door that had a sign reading, 'Electrical Room.'
"Why are we at the Electrical Room?" Goten asked as the door swung open rather aggressively. A chubby man with greasy black hair wearing brown baggy pants and a red stripped shirt appeared in the door way. He had an old fashion cigar in his mouth as an evil grin appeared on his cracked lips. He chuckled mercilessly and scared the boy that Goten was with to the point where he was crying. Goten looked at him sadly before he looked back up at the man. "Can you please stop looking do dull; you're scaring my friend." Goten asked kindly. The man laughed even harder at this as he didn't rightfully hear everything Goten said.
"You should be scared too little boy; we can kill you in an instant if we wanted to." He leaned on down and was a foot away from Goten's face. The smoke from the cigarette made Goten gage as he coughed violently
"Get your stinky breathe away from me! It's worse than my friend Todo's breathe! And he's a dinosaur!" The man became aggravated at what the boy was saying. "And when was the last time your mom made you take a bath?! EW!!!"
"You've got some nerve you little brat!" He growled as he grabbed his gun out of the hoister and aimed it right at the still coughing seven year old boy.
"Stop it! He's just a child! He doesn't know any better!" A frail female voice pleaded; obviously a teacher. The man muttered something about misbehaving children before putting his gun away.
"Roger, throw them with the rest of the trash!"
"Yes Larry." Goten's coughs turned into laughter after hearing their names.
"Roger? Larry?! Those are lame names!" He said between breathes. This irritated them both, but Roger just pushed them both in. Goten however, didn't notice as he was still laughing.
"We'll be right back. If any of you try to escape, you all die! Understand!" He looked down at the still laughing Goten. "And someone shut that kid up!" He finished before slamming the door shut.
Goten's friend stopped crying as he heard the still laughing Goten and became somewhat at ease. Same with everyone else. Even though they had never seen this boy in their life, his carefree spirit could be felt a mile away.
"GOHAN!!!" Videl screamed causing the cops below to look up and see them. Gohan placed his hand behind his head and laughed nervously; something that his father, brother, and himself were known especially known for.
Videl's rioting lecture was long forgotten at the sight of him as she blushed. "Lets just go and save the kids…" She then landed and ran to the cops. Gohan shrugged and followed suit.
All the police were staring at her with much shock as they still couldn't get used to the idea of someone being able to fly. The sheriff however, was the only one that seemed to gain his composure. "You guys made it just in time! They're giving us fifteen minutes to get the ten million zenie before they blow up the whole school!"
"Any idea where the children are being kept at?" Saiyaman asked as he felt a familiar power reading inside the building. 'Is…is Goten in there?' He mused to himself. 'Na, he wouldn't leave the house without mom…' He concluded as turned his attention back to Videl and the county sheriff; unaware of the two pairs of eyes that watched them…
"Are you sure that Videl is the one that's supposed to help us Percy?" Serena asked while watching the scene below them.
Percy sighed. "I'm not sure, but she seems to be the strongest person on this planet. It's kinda weird how there is another planet like ours that has almost everything that we have. The planets names are even the same!"
"We could have just traveled into another universe by accident." Serena added on as she lost her footing and nearly fell off the roof. Percy, however, saw this and grabbed Serena's arm just in time. She looked back at him and smiled nervously; trying to hide her blush.
"Be more careful…" He trailed off as he just noticed the man standing next to Videl wearing funny clothing. "Who in the world is that?!" He asked trying not to laugh. Once Serena was safely back on the roof, she looked down to see the man as well. Her laughs however, escaped her.
"I….don't…know!!! But he sure looks ridiculous!" She said in between breathes. Percy however knew that there was more to him then they thought…
