Ch 3- Interesting reunions.
I have said it before and I will say it again, I do not own dragon ball z no matter how much I want to! I do own Jason, Jasmine, Jake, Jackson and other J's maybe appearing in the future. Enjoy!
Jason stood there with an agape pale face.
'Is this the same Gohan that terrorized my time or am I just seeing things? How could this be possible? That device not only transported me back in time but it also sent me back to the place of Gohan's High school life. I wasn't born yet so I don't know when he starts to be influenced but I might as well try and find out, but for now I guess I just have to be cool.'
"You look like you had just seen a ghost, what is wrong Jason?" Erasa asked with concern.
"Uh.. it is just I don't know anything about public schooling so if I do anything that looks funny please help me correct it ok? I am a little nervous." Jason said with fake fear.
"Well, public school isn't the hard part of this city bro the real hard part is all of the commotion and crime there is." Sharpener said with hints pointing to Videl.
"Yeah, that is why we have Videl. She takes care of the bad guys for us so we can live in peace in our little worlds." Erasa said with a happy sigh.
"Isn't that dangerous?" Jason asked Videl but she was quick to get feisty.
"Look just because I am a girl doesn't mean I am a weakling. I know what I am doing and am stronger then any guys you know!" Videl shot back.
'Oh, I doubt it with Gohan sitting right next to her. I am surprised she hasn't sensed his ki yet. Oh well, maybe they can't sense like we can.' "Do you have back up fighters to help you?" Jason asked clueless.
"She doesn't need back up, she is the daughter of the great MR Satan you know, she is strong enough to fight off any criminal." Erasa said with assurance.
"Thank you Erasa, I can speak for myself." Videl mumbled.
'Now I recognize her! That is Hercule's daughter! The girl I rescued this morning! If she couldn't fight off that little gang how the hell can she fight off villains?' Jason thought.
"So guys, class is about to end, what do we have next period?" Jason asked.
"Outside Team sports, so get your game on nerd-boy," Sharpener said with his nose in the air.
As the 5 teenagers transitioned to their next class, Jason decided to talk to Gohan.
"Are they always so hospitable?" Jason asked with sarcasm.
"Relax, they always do this to the new kid. I was the new kid last month and it was the exact same way. I am Gohan, nice to meet you." Gohan said with sincerity.
"I am Jason, nice to meet you too," Jason said with false sincerity.
'Hmm. He doesn't seem ruthless and evil. Well, I guess the sayajin race hasn't been overthrown yet. Hey, maybe I can stop the overthrowing from happening! But for now I guess I play baseball' Jason thought to himself with relief.
"So where do you live Jason?" Erasa asked with kindness.
"Out by a lake outside of town about 600 miles away." Jason quickly replied.
"Do you have family here?" Videl asked pretending to care for Erasa's sake, because she is very fragile when it comes to guys and her best friend.
"No, my family is all dead. I live alone." Jason said with regret.
"That is so sad Jason!" Erasa said as she went over to hug Jason but since Jason doesn't know how they used to show affection back in these times, he swiftly dodged it being very clueless.
"I won't bite! I was just trying to show you sympathy." Erasa said starting to cry herself.
"It
is ok, I am just not the hugging type." Jason said as he smiled and
comforted
Erasa.
"So shifting subjects, Jason do you know how to play baseball?" Videl asked with real care.
"Not really, I don't play many sports. I never have time." Jason answered back.
"What do you do in your spare time then nerd? Solve Rubix's cubes? Sudoku? Nerd decathalon?" Sharpener said with arrogance.
"No, the commute is so long I barely have time to do anything except study during home hours." Jason said blandly.
"Alright then it should be easy to beat your asses!" Sharpener said with rudeness.
The Coach introduced Jason and then they two head coaches (being Videl and Sharpener) proceeded on picking their teammates. The coin flip showed that Videl picked first.
Videl picked Erasa and Sharpener picked most of his masculine buddies for his team.
"Hey Videl, the two nerds are left. You can have them both I have enough for my team I don't need any nerds dragging me down!" Sharpener said with cockyness.
'Man this guy is going to be annoying to be with for a while. Damn part of me just wants to kill him. The other part says I am a nice guy and don't waste me energy on weaklings.' Jason thought.
"Alright fellows and ladies, play ball." The coach announced.
Sharpener's team was up first since they had less players. Videl was pitcher and Gohan and Jason of course were in the outfield.
"Why do we get the outfield? I can play this dumb sport!" Jason said to Gohan curtly.
"We aren't strong enough to man the infield or fast enough so they stick us out here." Gohan said with a polite tone.
'Gohan I know you are strong enough. Now I have to be careful even the slightest bit of my real power would freak them out, so I have to suppress it for now.' Jason thought.
Videl pitched the ball and Sharpener was up to bat so he hit it far up in the sky. He started to run the bases knowing no one could catch it.
"Fly-ball, get it Jason!" Gohan said urgently.
Jason jumped up really high and caught it, but then he realized what he just did.
'Ah, damn it! Even when I suppress my power it keeps coming back! That wasn't even trying though! Oh well I guess it is time to float down.' Jason thought nervously.
"Impossible! How the hell did you catch that ball I sent it 35 feet in the air!" Sharpener yelled at Jason.
"Uh…. Luck? I told you I never played this game, but I guess I can jump really high, or I must be wearing some kind of special shoes. Maybe jet propelled?" Jason said sweating.
"Must be luck. Yeah, but no nerd strikes in the same place, come on boys let show them what we are made of!" Sharpener addressed his team.
'I have got to be more careful.' Jason thought nervously.
"How did you do that Jason? You must have jumped 35 feet in the air!!" Gohan asked with awe.
"It must be my shoes." Jason said laughing weakly.
'Yeah right… those shoes… I don't buy it. I am watching you Jason I know something is up with you, and I will find out what. Ah, now I am just like Videl! Videl keeps trying to find out the secret identity of Sayaman by following me! Is this right? I will have to sleep on it.' Gohan thought to himself.
Sharpener's best pal Asher, who was the 2nd best hitter, hit a ball into center right field where Jason was standing.
"Get it Jason!" Gohan yelled.
Jason picked up the ball and threw it 'lightly' to second base. The ball burned through the glove and the baseman was able to pick it up.
"You are out! Game over, Videl's team wins 5-0!" The Coach said nearly speechless.
Half of Videl's team looked at Jason with mouths wide open.
Gohan raised his eyebrow. 'Jason, I know you are hiding something! I don't need to sleep on it, that is enough evidence for me. Time to find out what you are hiding.' Gohan thought.
"Jason you know those gloves are highly flammable you may be smart but not smart enough to get away with a mini tracking explosive! Oh well no one was hurt and no teacher knows so let's just go the bell will ring soon." Videl shot at Jason.
'Wow, you have GOT to be kidding me. A little explosive? Oh well, at least I kept my cover.' Jason thought to himself as he begun to walk back to the school.
The bell rung and the 5 teens were at their lockers, and Videl, Gohan, and Jason had theirs right adjacent to each other.
"Interesting first day huh?" Jason asked the two teens.
"Yeah, maybe you do have a thing for baseball." Videl mumbled under her breath.
"So what are you 3 talking about? Something cool?" Erasa asked Videl.
"Not really." Videl said.
"So anyway my dad said my grades were good enough so I can hang out with you guys for the afternoon! What do you want to do Videl?" Erasa politely asked her friend.
"I know! The 4 of us can go into town after school! There is bound to be a crime somewhere and I can finally find out the identity of Sayaman!" Videl said with excitement.
'Does she ever give it a rest? I will have to make up some excuse again.' Gohan thought.
"Sorry Guys I am doing Mr. Bender's project tonight so I can't" Gohan said innocently.
"Fine, so you want to go with us Jason?" Erasa asked half-blushing.
"Erasa, conference!" Videl said pulling Erasa to the side to talk with her.
"Erasa what are you doing? We barely know this guy and you are inviting him to go with us to a dangerous place?" Videl whispered.
"Relax, with you there we will be fine! And besides, I like him. I mean as a friend, but I think we should give him a chance. Please Videl?" Erasa asked sweetly shooting Videl the 'puppy dog' face.
"Damn, alright Erasa he can come with us," Videl agreed in whispers.
"Alright!" Erasa bounced up and went back with Jason.
"You can with us Jason, you are new in town so I want to tell you about a big jerk called Sayaman. Sayaman is a masked 'hero' that tries to save the city which is my job. He uses fancy lights and smoke and mirrors to deceive those great fighters. I am smart though I can see through his little sham. But, he is a popular person, but if I can unmask him I can expose him for the goober he really is!" Videl explained.
'Wow, she must really hate this guy. Sayaman huh? I will just see how strong this guy really is.' Jason thought.
"Sure I will go with you guys." Jason replied smiling back at Erasa.
"Alright, meet me at the bank in half an hour and he is sure to be there! I took this afternoon off crime fighting so I could hunt him down!" Videl said with giddy as she walked away.
"See you soon Jason. Bye!" Erasa squealed happily.
That left only Jason and Gohan.
"Sayaman huh?" Jason asked Gohan.
"He is a strong crime fighting super hero, why does Videl hate him so much?" Gohan asked Jason as if he didn't already know.
"Jealousy? Videl does seem the jealous type." Jason replied, but then walked away proceeding to the bank as Gohan was left alone with his thoughts.
'Hm.. This mystery might just unravel itself if Jason goes to find me later, and with Videl too. Everything is falling into place if I want to find out what is up with him.' Gohan thought.
As Jason walked down the street he ran into a familiar face. His father.
'DAD!!!! He is alive! Well duh he is alive you moron Gohan hasn't killed him yet! I can still sense his energy but he is masking it so he works a job inconspicuously. I wonder what he is doing here.' Jason thought to himself endlessly.
Walking past his father as if he didn't know him, he proceeded down to the bank where a robbery was in progress.
"You will never take us alive, coppers!" A man with a gun yelled from the inside of the bank.
Just on cue, a mysterious figure drops down from the sky wearing a helmet and a cape and 2 training gis.
"Not to worry citizens, the Great Sayaman is here!" Gohan said with a fake heroic voice.
'Wow he is strong… much stronger then I thought.. I wonder if this guy is a sayajin. It would make sense, the names sound so alike.. sayajin and sayaman… I will just wait… soon enough Videl will come and expose him.' Jason thought.
As if on another cue, Videl came down in her jet-copter with cameras and many other devices in her copter. Videl spotted the robbery and looked at Sayaman with envy.
'Well, at least they don't have many hostages…' Videl thought to herself relieved.
Erasa was the last one to show up but she got a little to close to the scene. The man grabbed her and held her for a hostage.
"If you don't want the girl to see her end, then let us go with all the money!!" The man yelled with confidence.
Videl realized that they got Erasa. In an instant she forgot about Sayaman and tried to help Erasa. The man heaved a fake sigh and pointed the gun at Videl's face.
"No no no, you don't want to die too now do you princess?" The man said with arrogance.
Sayaman approached the bad guys by disappearing and reappearing in front of them.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you sir. Those citizens have done nothing wrong to you!" Sayaman said with a heroic voice.
"Want your girls back? Here, have them back, I will take you instead!" The man said.
"Bring it." Gohan said coolly.
The man tried to apprehend Gohan but couldn't because he was too fast. He took the gun and bended it and twisted it and then he threw the man in his car. Before he had a chance to run off, Gohan took him out of the car and crushed it. The bad guy gave up and went willingly into the squad car.
'That was just like…. The man I saw yesterday morning! Of course! He did all of the same things and all the same moves, they are even the same height! Well now I know what to look for. Yes!' Videl thought.
"Are you alright miss?" Gohan asked Erasa and Videl.
"I am fine, thanks!" Erasa said leaping for him hugging him tightly.
"I could have handled that on my own you big jerk!" Videl yelled at Sayaman.
"Miss Videl, you are very strong but that man was stronger! I am off. Goodbye Miss Videl!" Gohan said with his fake voice.
"Isn't he dreamy Videl?" Erasa asked half-dazed.
"No!!!" Videl answered defensively.
'Hm… This is definitely unusual. This guy can crush guns, cars and move almost as fast as I can! This man is no ordinary earthling, there must be something more to this. Wait, what was it that Dad said before Gohan attacked him that day? Think!' Jason thought.
Flashback
Gohan had destroyed most of the nearby cities by now. Huge cities like Satan City and West City were in shambles. Jason and Jake inspected the damage in Satan city. As Jason and Jake flew around, they came upon a billboard. It showed Sayaman on a pedastool looking heroic. It read, 'Our hero, the city thanks you for your help.' Jason and Jake are looking at it and exchange looks.
"Who was sayaman?" Jason asked his father.
"Sayaman was supposedly a powerful person who protected Satan City from everyday crimes and villains. Apparently, he wasn't good enough to protect himself. He was killed by Gohan." Jake said with remorse.
"Was he a sayajin like Gohan?" Jason asked with curiosity.
"Yes, supposedly. I believe I read a book somewhere about him, stating that his other identity was a rural teenager in the mountains. Apparently, after Gohan killed them, there was no one left who could stop him." Jake said as he trembled.
"Hmm. Dad, are we the strongest ones left?" Jason asked with fear.
"I am afraid so son. I am afraid so." Jake said quivering.
End Flashback
'Rural Teenager in the mountains… well he must still exist now, so all I have to do is trace his powers and his ki back to his house! I will find out who he is!' Jason thought to himself.
Jason proceeded to fly into the mountains following Gohan but making sure not to fly too fast or use too much energy or Gohan could sense him.
After a good long while, Gohan walked into the house. Jason decided to eavesdrop in the house because he doesn't know who Sayaman is and can't just invade his house.
"Mom I am home!" Gohan said in an empty house.
There was a note on the refrigerator.
'Gohan, left to buy groceries for dinner tonight. Will be back at 8. Love you, Mom.'
Gohan read the note and tried to sense for Goten's energy. Goten was just outside the house.
'He is coming! I better hide!' Jason thought to himself.
Gohan came out of the door unmasked. He looked and sensed around for his brother but could not find him. He picked up his ki signal 5 miles north, so he decided to run.
'Gohan is Sayaman? Figures. Might as well follow him and see what he is up to.' Jason thought in a cool manner.
Jason started power-walking to where Gohan was. Gohan found Goten and they were just talking.
'Hm.. that face looks familiar. Where have I seen that face before?' Jason asked himself.
"Goten, ready to play?" Gohan asked powering up.
"Yeah! I have a surprise for you this time!" Goten said as he powered up to super-sayajin.
"You are a… super-sayajin?" Gohan asked Goten with awe .
"Yep, I am all strong now like you so now I might have a chance!" Goten said giddily.
"In your dreams!" Gohan responded.
Jason was clearly in shock.
'Now I know where I know him from! That is Goten my old trainer! He was with me when I ascended to sojo!' Jason thought.
Flashback
2031
"Jason you aren't trying hard enough, a true warrior doesn't use their eyes to see uses their energy," Goten said promptly.
"Master Goten there is no way I am going to ever become even close to strong now! Buu may be dead but I can still work to be strong to defend this planet one day!" Jason said with hope.
"Yeah maybe. Now let's spice things up a bit!" Goten said powering up even more, giving Jason quite a run for his money.
Goten was throwing many chi-punches and kick and energy waves and Jason was barely able to withstand them all. Goten was obviously winning the battle.
'Hmm. I wonder if I can get him to transform to a super-sayajin. I don't know if he even is a sayajin but there must be something past his level of strength!' Goten thought.
Goten transformed to Super-Sayajin and decided to give Jason a scare. Goten went inside Jason's house and grabbed his mother and decided to pretend to punch her.
"Knock it off! Leave her alone!" Jason said as the fire was in his eyes. Jason focused his energy and knocked Goten away from his mother pretty hard.
'I am going to regret doing this, but this is why we have the dragonballs.' Goten thought.
Goten readied up a kamehameha and Jason assumed it was for him so he braced for impact but instead of firing at him Goten swerved the ball of energy and used it to destroy his mother.
"You monster! How could you do this. YOU… WERE…. MY…. FRIEND!!!!!!" Jason exploded as Goten nodded.
'That is it Jason, get angry at me and lets see what you can do.' Goten thought with a little sweat rolling down his cheeks.
Jason's pupils went away for a moment and lighting started to swirl around him. Goten felt the aftershock and started to sweat. Jason's hair started to change colors.
'Yes, he is transforming!' Goten thought happily.
Much to his confusion, Jason's hair changed from Red to Silver. The lightning around him was a blue color. The aura around him was not yellow but black.
'What the hell??' Goten thought to himself confused.
Jason charged Goten and Jason gave him a good energy-punch to the stomach. Goten was surprised at the magnitude of power this was. Goten charged up to full power and decided to fight him back.
A weblock of kicks, punches, mass energy waves and ground-shattering combos had Jason and Goten busy, until Goten and Jason used their max power attacks and had them meshed together for a good 10 minutes until Jason ran out of energy and was nearly annihilated by Goten's super kamehameha. Goten rushed him off to Korin's to get him fixed.
"Korin! Please tell me you have senzu beans!" Goten said panicked.
"When don't I? But Goten tell me what you need them for first." Korrin calmly responded.
"My student is out cold and I nearly killed him with an attack!" Goten said anxiously.
"Alright here." Korrin said throwing Goten 4 beans.
Goten cheered and started to run off, but Korrin said something to him before he left.
"Goten, be prepared, I don't think we will stay in this time of peace for long, so be sure to keep him alive and not to overdo the energy attacks. Save it for the villains." Korrin said as sweat rolled down his face.
"Alright, thanks Korrin," Goten bowed before he left.
End of Flashback
Jason watched Goten and Gohan fight for a good 30 minutes. Goten was still very strong and it appeared Jason was left speechless to his magnitude of power.
'Goten must only be like 7 years old and he is almost as strong as I am! In 24 years he is way stronger but now he is about my power, but at 7 years old? It is mind boggling.' Jason thought to himself.
"Goten, you fought well, but you aren't a match for me!" Gohan said victorious.
Goten was beaten in the match but got up and laughed.
"Wow big brother you are strong! I don't think I will ever beat you!" Goten said gleefully.
"Goten, do you sense that?" Gohan said with concern.
"Yeah there is someone in the area!" Goten said happily.
"Let's scan the area!" Gohan said as Jason begun to sweat.
'Oh Shit!' Jason thought to himself.
Cliffhanger! What will happen next? Be sure to keep reading because I love it when people read my stories.. gives me a sense of accomplishment. Anyway, I will be online all day so I will keep writing the story, but you need to help inspire me by writing reviews ok? Have a merry break! Thank you!
