Note: A little shorter chapter than the others that I have put out so far. Sorry, I guess.
Sirius Potter2: Yes, normal rules and government policies would not matter to Gohan, or any of the Z fighters really. They all hold the potential to crush anyone on Earth that would oppose them, other than themselves. As much as Gohan would rather live by himself, or with Bulma, he is going to be following his mother's decision to learn. I think I said that in the first chapter, if not than oops. But he will go with the flow, so to speak, when it comes to finally learning about the adoption mishap, and being 'forced' to move in with normal people. Plus I thought it would be cool to have Erasa going all boy crazy about Gohan with having to live with him.
Others that reviewed: Thanks for reading and I hope to keep your interest in this story.

Chapter 3
Lady Cold and her minions were starting to set up camp while they awaited their trusted messenger to return from securing their rightful place in history. The leader of the group seemed like she was watching her men set up camp, but was lost in her inner musings. With this new technique, not only will I be that much more formidable of an opponent, I will make much more money with the amount of planets that my men and I can purge. Planets that we used to discount because of the time it would take to get there in spacecraft would be open for sale. I could honestly have the entire universe under my control, instead of just the few galaxies that my spaceships can reach now.
She was jolted from her dreams and aspirations of suffering and conquest when her messenger made his own crater at her feet. Confused as to what had happened, she kicked him lightly to see if he was alive. When she got a groan in response she told one of her elites to move him into a rejuvenation tank so that he could heal and she could figure out just what the hell happened to him.
The people on this planet should not be that strong! We made sure of it when we were entering the atmosphere!
Lady Cold demanded that her right hand man go and sort this out. "Hagor, I want you to go to the palace and figure out just who has the audacity to openly defy the Cold Empire. You will not kill this person. You will bring whoever it is to me, so that I can make an example out of him, and get rid of pesky little peasants like them."
Hagor, always quick to carry out orders, simply responded, "Yes Ma'am" and took off into the skies in the general direction of the palace.
Lady Cold was furious that someone had the gall to do this to her men. It isn't that she cared for them, it is that she expected the respect given to her should be given, by any outsiders, to all of those associated with her. Well if this person can defy Hagor as well, I may have to actually do something to whoever this is. Either way, I am buying time to get information. Either Hagor comes back with this upstart, or Evora wakes up and tells me how he got beaten.
---------
Gohan, done with his food, sat back in his chair in the palace kitchen and patted his stomach in satisfaction. It had been awhile since he has eating something that he had not had before. Whatever it is that they are making me is great. It may not look like much but it almost matches what...Mom...used to...
Before Gohan could get caught in the past he noticed a fairly larger power level making its' way to the palace. Taking note of this, the young saiyan decided to go and find the king and report this finding.
As it turned out he didn't need to. He found the king staring off into the direction the power was coming from. Gohan spoke up, "Don't worry, he won't harm anyone. I'll make sure of it." After saying this, Gohan took to the skies to head off this new threat.
The new threat looked like Dadoria could have been his brother. Just as pink and just as fat, with spikes coming up at seemingly random points of his body.
Hagor and Gohan met over the fairly large capitol city. The esteemed Cold Empire warrior smirked when he saw that it was just a boy that he was facing. He thought to himself, Ha, Evora is such a weakling to be taken out by this scrawny boy!
The young saiyan, noticing the smirk, spoke first. "What are you doing here, and who do you work for? I thought that the Cold Empire was long gone after I saw Frieza and King Cold die."
Hagor was visibly thrown by the boy's remark. "As I told your friend who came by earlier, the Cold Empire is not welcome on this planet and should leave as soon as possible in order to remain alive" the boy continued.
Hagor laughed, and his laughter deepened when he saw the boy's reaction to it. Gohan could feel his saiyan side coming to the surface, and his saiyan side did not like being mocked.
Moving quickly Gohan shot forward and kicked the pink alien in the head effectively knocking him out. Again Gohan picked up the intruder and threw him back to the enemy space ship.
------
Lady Cold was thinking to herself about who it could be that would do such a thing to one of her elites. Her first thought would have been a saiyan, but there are not many left and the ones that are, would not be on a planet like this. Dismissing this idea she moved onto her rivals, the Optiquens. They are the only true threat remaining besides the few dirty monkeys that are scattered across the galaxies.
The Optiquens are a large dog/wolf like creatures that stand on two legs. They are covered in fur and at least seven feet tall. They are the only true large rival to the Cold Empire and they have made themselves a very annoying thorn in the side of Lady Cold, since the disappearance of her mate and son. The Optiquens have proven themselves more than ruthless enough to take over the position of rulers of the north quadrant, though Lady Cold would never give up that particular title.
For the second time that day, the Cold Empress had found her thoughts disrupted by yet another one of her men creating a crater in her newly set up camp. Losing all patience she issues three orders then leaves in search of this annoyance. One, kill both Evora and Hagor, two stay by the ship, and three wait for her return. Once she got affirmatives from her men she left.

Gohan decided that with the Cold Empire creeping up again, he would go ahead and call home and ask to speak with Vegeta. The young demi-saiyan decapsulated his space ship and went inside to the comms room. He quickly established a link with Bulma's lab to see her working intently on something or another, trying to make it work.
Trying to get her attention Gohan spoke up, "Bulma! I need to talk."
Bulma who had been doing something that required a lot of finesse, almost snapped at whoever had just disrupted her concentration, when it clicked in her brain that it was her godson who was talking, and not her mate yelling at her to fix the gravity room. She brightened at the thought of speaking to Gohan before rushing over to the screen.
"Heya, kid. What's going on?" Bulma was surprised that Gohan actually seemed really serious for once. "Bulma, I need to speak with Vegeta, and if I could ask, could you hurry? This is something somewhat time sensitive."
Bulma just nodded and set off on her quest to find her soon to be grumpy mate. After a few minutes of waiting. Vegeta and Bulma entered the lab. Vegeta looked plenty angry at being interrupted in his training to surpass the esteemed Kakabrat.
Gohan, upon seeing Vegeta, started talking. "Vegeta, how many people are in the Cold family?" The prince showed that he was surprised before quickly hiding behind his usual cold stare. "Why do you need to know Kakabrat? Is the invincible, fictitious 'Lady Cold' there at your doorstep?"
Gohan hesitated, "Well... actually, um, Vegeta, yeah she is heading this way now." Vegeta left all remnants of his facade behind and yelled, "WHAT?? SHE IS REAL?" before calming himself and continuing, "Nobody knew of Frieza's mother, and she was rumored to be insatiable, when it comes to killing things."
Gohan sighed slightly, "Outstanding... Well Vegeta, she has sent two scouts separately to Planet Yardrat's capital, hoping to muscle cooperation from the people here. Needless to say, I dealt with them. Now she seems to have gotten the message that her peons can't compare with me and is coming herself to get what she wants. I think that they want to learn the Instant Transmission technique so that they can purge planets faster and make more money that way."
Both Vegeta and Bulma went into their own thoughts. The saiyan prince was the first to speak. "Well it's possible that they found out about the technique and do wish to use it as you have said. I would imagine that there would be another motive as well. The Cold Empire doesn't take to change very well. One of the reasons that our race is now on the brink of extinction. The saiyans were beginning to change the way that the Cold Empire thought about battle and came to fear what we saiyans might become, so they wiped us out." He paused to take a breath. "I think that there is someone who is coming in on their territory which is forcing them to learn new things and do things differently so that they can eliminate the threat." The prince stopped.
The others listening in on the conversation nodded showing that they followed his logic. Almost as an afterthought, Vegeta added, "I think that we will have taken care of the entire Cold family after today."
Gohan looked relieved. "Good, there isn't anyone else after... Listen guys, I gotta go." With that the young saiyan cut the connection and capsulated his ship to ready for the last member of the Cold family.
