Chapter 3

Flashback

"So, you're entering High School, in the city of that fraud nonetheless?" Piccolo asked his pupil. Bulma made it quite clear only Dende, Chiaotzu and Tien were allowed to miss the social gathering she planned at Capsule Corp, so Piccolo reluctantly attended this one in the shadow of a tree. He had relaxed a while before his first student had approached him.

"I can't really give you any advice on that topic. Is that the reason you have a movie marathon with Dende every 2 weeks? To prepare yourself for social interaction with your peers?"

"Nah, I think I'm quite a pleasant person in general haha. So with some tips from Krillin, Yamcha and Bulma I should be fine. The movie marathons with Dende are our way to have fun despite the busy schedule we both have. You know how busy we are, considering you are our sensei." Gohan responded, with a smug smile.

"Yeah yeah I remember kid, but since both of your growths' of the charts I don't think it's a bad thing." Piccolo stated with a softness in his voice he only has when speaking to Gohan. "So, what do you need help with?"

"Well, I was thinking about playing a superhero in my free time. If I run into crimes while flying to school, I can't help but stop people from getting hurt. You are the best seamstress I know of, not to mention the quickest, so will you help me?" Gohan asked with a cheeky smile.

"Hmph, idiot." Was all Piccolo said and wanted to walk away. Not even Gohan got away calling him a seamstress.

"Whoah, wait up big guy! I didn't mean it as an insult, but since you're my to-go-to guy for everything concerning the planet's protecting you were the best one to talk to first! Also, you have that clothes beam thingy! If you can point to someone who is even half as good as you are, I'll go to him." Gohan said, trying to placate his mentor, while holding onto his cape to prevent his escape.

Piccolo stopped trying to escape, not wanting to tear his favorite cape. "Alright, I'll materialize whatever you want. But I'm not one for originality. Your previous gi's weren't designed by me, so you should come up with the design for your superhero act."

"You're gonna be a superhero Big Brother?" Trunks piped up from his hideout in the bushes, Goten following suit and after a short rustle Marron came out as well.

"What were you doing there?" Gohan asked.

"We followed you Uncle Goh!" Marron said. She figured this was enough explanation because she ran off without another word. Gohan was curious why she ran off but got his answer soon enough, as she came back holding crayons and white papers.

"I draw, Trunks design and Goten names costume!" Marron said, looking at Trunks expectantly.

"Well, why not just use your gi you used during the Cell Games? No cape! You saw how easily you stopped Piccolo. Maybe wear a spandex like Dad underneath so they can't identify you by your scars. I'd take a red one to match your wristbands and belt." Trunks said pensively. "You can turn Super to conceal your identity. With your tail back, your transformation got a bit more primal, so with the golden hair, teal eyes and oversized canines no one will know it's you."

"Oh oh! We can call you the Great Saiyaman! You're great, half saiyan, half man and you're THE!" Goten reasoned proudly. Everyone sweatdropped after hearing his logic.

"We'll keep that one as a back-up, Goten. I don't want to advocate to the world anything about the Saiyans. Trunks, do you have a name for me as well?" Trunks was about to shout something, but Gohan interfered. "If you dare saying something along the lines of Delivery Boy, you will not be walking for a week, so help me Kami.

Trunks paled a little after that, glad he didn't say it yet. But he was a prince after all, so he had to keep up appearance. "I wasn't going to suggest that. Thanks for the vote of confidence Big Brother..."

Don't try to guilt trip me here, Trunks. I'm just making sure you aren't trying to make me look like a fool while I'm fighting crime. I want to strike fear into the hearts of evildoers when they hear my name."

"Oh oh oh, pick me! I have the perfect name." Goten interfered. Trunks however, was having none of it. "Well, why not go with Gold Fighter? I mean your hair is gold, you are a fighter and the name is simple enough.

"Gold Fighter? I don't know… It does have a catchy sound to it. But it's to general. It doesn't really say anything about me." Gohan said. "Well Goten, do you want to say what you came up with?"

"Yeah! You're Piccolo's student right? Why not name yourself after that? And have his insignia on your back and front. Then you're "The Demon". Goten said.

"Wow Goten, that sounds a lot better! It's not perfect but a step in the right direction. Marron did you draw the design?" Gohan asked Marron and got a thumps up in response. "Piccolo are you okay with me wearing your insignia? Last time I wore it I didn't exactly make you proud." Gohan said with a sigh, referring to their fight with Nappa.

"Kid, don't start that again. I don't regret saving you that day and you were 5. You did the best you could and in the end you squashed Vegeta. There's not a thing in the world that would've made me more proud than you wearing my insignia.

"Great! Marron, hand the drawings to Piccolo please and I'll go talk to Bulma to discuss a way to change into it fast."

"Does he really think I need a drawing to make the outfit I gave him 7 years ago with a spandex and my insignia on it? The kid really lost it this time." Piccolo scoffed but took the drawings anyway. 'That girl does draw well for a six year old. Dammit, I am not getting that soft! Focus Piccolo!'

"Bulma! Bulmaaa!" Gohan yelled across the room to get the bluenettes' attention.

"What's up kid? You seem to be in a hurry." Bulma responded and met him halfway the garden, abandoning her conversation with 18, Chi Chi and Yamcha. Not that she was glad to ditch their company, but when 18 started talking about having another child and Yamcha asked her if it was going to be named after one of her exes since Marron was one of Krillins' you could almost cut the tension in the air.

"I'm going to High School in Satan City." Gohan responded, grimacing as he said the name. "Mom probably told you, but I did some research and it has one of the worst crime rates in the world. I'm bound to run into some criminals and I won't let them get away with it. The kids have designed a costume, Piccolo is materializing it as we speak but I need a way to change into it quickly. Any ideas?"

"You remember that bracelet Vegeta gave you on your 16th birthday? Of course you do, you've been wearing that since the day you got it." Bulma added with a smirk.

The bracelet was a Saiyan heirloom, stating he was an elite warrior acknowledged by the royal family. It meant a lot to Gohan, not the upgrade from 3th class to elite since his dad was a 3th class and proud. No, the fact that Vegeta, his father's longtime rival and only full blooded Saiyan left as far as they knew, respected him and even gave away one of his few prized possessions from planet Vegeta meant the world to him.

While Gohan reminisced to that day and clutched the bracelet, Bulma continued. "Yes, that pretty golden bracelet with those three triangles on it and four emeralds embedded in it. I could make one of the emeralds into a button to transform your outfit and some gadgets like a police radio only for Saiyan ears and more. Or you could do it yourself in the lab if you want to."

"If you could do that, please do Bulma. I don't want to damage the bracelet and you're the more experienced scientist." Gohan said, taking of his bracelet in the process and tried to hand it to Bulma.

Bulma however, had other plans. "Son Gohan, did you just call me old?" She asked the oldest demi-Saiyan, who was now fearing for his life. 'Careful Gohan, choose your words wisely. You have an IQ of 250 on a bad day, you can do this.'

"No! I just meant that I still have a lot to learn compared to you, Mrs. Nobel Prize winner." Gohan said, hands in front of him in mock surrender.

That seemed to do the job, as all hostility left her face and she blushed. "Aaaawh you're the first on of all people here to remember! I know it wasn't as important as saving the planet, but the technology to capsulize entire cities deserves some recognition."

"Anyway, hand me the bracelet. I'll get started on it right away."

End flashback

So there Gohan stood, transformed into Super Saiyan with his golden hair, teal eyes and enlarged canines, sporting a purple gi with a dark red spandex underneath and red wristbands.

'Wow, if only the kids could see me now, they would be proud!'

There were twelve robbers, seventeen hostages and one girl blond girl who didn't seemed fazed by all the commotion and just kept on stacking the boxes filled with chocolates. 'This must happen a lot around here. She didn't even look up from her task!' Gohan thought amused.

The robbers however, were pissed off someone tried to stop them. What's even worse is that the guy dropped out of the sky! "Hey you, we don't take kindly to your kind here, trickster. So get lost before we pump you full of lead." Gohan assumed he was the leader since he spoke up and seemed to have the highest ki among them.

The trickster caught him off guard. 'The people here really are thick.' Gohan thought.

"Last chance, surrender to me now or face the consequences." Gohan said, emanating his aura, making sure the robbers could sense his power.

Some of the robbers quivered in fear when they felt it, but the leader just laughed. "And who are you, why should we listen to you? You're unarmed, we outnumber and outgun you and we have enough hostages to get everything we want and more. We're even safe from that little Satan bitch, so good luck tough guy."

"You can call me the Demon's Disciple. I'm authorized by the Kais to hold this part of the galaxy safe, I wouldn't exactly say I'm unarmed, numbers mean little to me." Gohan said before pausing. "As for the hostages, if you try to hurt a single one of them you'll regret it."

"Sure thing, big shot. Now you die. Get him boys!" The leader said, while he and his accomplices opened fire on Gohan.

Gohan just stood and caught every bullet fired at him. When he opened his fist and dropped every bullet he just smirked and said. "My turn."

As on cue, the front six cronies fell to the ground. Two had a broken nose, three with their hands clutched on their stomach and one with blood coming from his mouth. 'Who was this guy?' The leader thought angrily. He pointed his gun again at Gohan, but he was nowhere in sight. Spinning around, he was just in time to see his five remaining cronies crumble to the ground.

"Wha-. " Then the leader felt a sharp pain at the side of his head and went unconscious.

When Gohan turned to the hostages, he noticed they weren't exactly cheering him on. They looked rather scared and some even looked pissed. 'Okay Gohan, this is it. Say something cool and leave the scene. All those superhero movies with Dende should've made this easy.'

"Don't worry, only bad people are haunted by Demons and their Disciples." Gohan said with a smirk.

Some of the hostages visibly relaxed after that statement, some were skeptical and a couple were still looking angry at him. 'Oh well, their loss.' Gohan thought as he flew off. While landing on Nimbus he heard police sirens coming closer to the store.

"Nimbus, let's get home. I think I've done enough for today and I want to see Goten."

Half an hour later

"Goten, I'm hom-" Gohan called, before getting slammed on the grass with a happy orange-clad seven year old on his chest. "Hiya Big Brother! How was your day? I had fun with grampa today and we ate a bit T-Rex tail and then I spotted this lizard, I wanted to call him Gregory, but then I remembered King Kai's friend was named the same so I called him Fregory and then I asked grampa to wrestle with Icarus, grampa is still really strong! He won and then I flew a bit with grampa on my back and then-."

"Sounds like you had a fun day Goten. Are you hungry?" Gohan asked. 'Stupid question, the kid eats almost as much as me.'

"Yeah I am! Can you make the roasted centipede like mom does? Pleaseee? And some pork chops and a lot of mashed potatoes and rice and I'd like some pickles and can I have chocolate fudge as a desert?" Goten asked, talking a mile an hour.

"I'll try the centipede, but it might not be as good as moms'. The rest is no problem. Want to help me while I tell about my day?" The huge grin Goten had on his face was all the response he needed.

"Alright, you can start by washing all the vegetables while I cook all the meats." Gohan said while putting on an apron and started working.

"I got introduced to the class and sat next to a girl named Erasa and a boy named Sharpener. I think they're my friends but we'll see how tomorrow goes. They have another friend but she's gone somewhere. Hmm what else happened? O right, all the teachers were kinda weird, they kept asking me all these questions. Some didn't even seem to know the answer to their own question. During gym I shattered a spear and saved Sharpener and a guy named Eric from being crushed. And then I beat some girl named Nicole with Pai Sho. After school I played superhero and saved some people and beat up the bad guys. Cool huh?" Gohan told his little brother, who had stopped preparing the vegetables in favor of listening.

"Yeah you're the best big brother ever! Can I be a superhero when I grow up too? And I'm glad you made friends! What do all your classmates look like? Are they as strong as you?" Goten asked, eyes wide with a look of admiration present.

"I don't really remember the looks of my entire class. Some looked really similar to each other and just kind of blended in with the crowd." Gohan told Goten.

"That's weird Big Brother, people don't look alike." Goten said, laughing with his hand behind his back.

'Sure, kiddo. People don't look alike, like you look nothing like dad.' Gohan thought while rolling his eyes.

"Anyway, no they're not as strong as I am, nor as strong as you for that matter. They're only human with no proper training like Krillin or Mom, so they can't help it. Erasa is blond like Marron and is as interested in shopping as 18, she has short hair, blue eyes and is about Mom's lenght." Gohan started to drone, analyzing his classmates.

'Good he's entered Super Scientist mode, now where is that cookie jar?' Goten wondered.

"Sharpener is also blond but brown eyed with some muscles but not really strong ones, just bulky. He's about as tall as I am." Gohan continued, oblivious to the lack of interest of his little brother.

Eric is slightly taller than Mom, has brown hair and eyes and is really skinny. He doesn't really like me, but I hope to change that soon. I don't need more enemies haha.

"Haha, yeah." Goten said. 'What did I agree to? A-ha! There's the jar, better act fast.'

"Nicole has purple hair, black eyes and wears it the same way Bulma does. She's smaller than Mom, wears black glasses and is really into Pai Sho." Gohan told Goten, finally looking at him. Goten's hand was still in the jar and there were 3 cookies stuffed in his mouth.

"Come on Goten, I've been working really hard on dinner! You can't be that hungry." Gohan said.

"You weren't here today so I missed you! I didn't want to snack without you here." Goten said, eyes downcast to his feet. 'Awww, poor guy. I should cut him some slack.'

"Come here you." Gohan said, opening his arms. Goten sprung in them without a word and was crushed between Gohan's arms. "Don't worry, I'll always come back. You know that right?"

*Snif* "Ye-Yeah, but still I missed you." Goten said, trying to suppress his sobs.

"I know, I know. I missed you too. But when Mom gets back you won't be that lonely during the day." Gohan said, while hugging him tightly. After a while Goten calmed down and while ruffling his hair Gohan said. "You know what? Go play for a while, I'll finish dinner and I'll call you when it's ready."

"Thanks Big Brother! Goten said with a huge smile. Without another word he ran to the door. "MISTER TIIIIIGEEEER! COME OUT AND PLAAAAY!" Was all Gohan heard before he went back to work. 'Oh, that kid is really something else.'

30 minutes later

"GOTEN, DINNER TIME!"

Dinner went without a word. It wasn't that they didn't want to speak, it was just impossible to eat and inhale at the same time and speaking meant losing food.

"That was great, thanks Gohan! You've really got better at cooking!" Goten said with a smile when all the food was devoured.

"Thanks squirt! I try my best. Now go shower and when I get back I'll read you a story before we'll go sleep." Gohan said with a smile. He was glad Goten liked it, he remembered all too well how horrible his first attempts tasted. Not even the Saiyan blood in him could bring him to finish the meal.

When Gohan heard the shower running and Goten talking to the rubber duck he went outside and uphill. It was a five-minute walk and Gohan always liked to walk it. He tried his best to keep the path clean even though he knew his father didn't care for that.

At the end of the path he entered a meadow with a small creek and a beautiful tree in the middle which always seemed to bear fruit. In front of the tree was a tombstone with a small shrine around it.

This shrine is a tribute to Son Goku, the greatest hero Earth shall ever bring forth.

That was all it said in the carving, in front of the tombstone was a picture of the entire Z-gang with Goku in the middle, sporting his goofy smile, which was taken right before the Cell Games. To the left was a picture of Goku carrying Chi Chi in a wedding dress. The picture on the right held a family photo of Chi Chi, Ox-King and Gohan who held Goten, which in turn had a picture of Goku in his hands. Goten was about 3 years old in this picture.

"Dad, I had fun at school today. I know you've never been to school in your entire life so I hope I'm making you proud. I'll make sure it'll be a long time till you see any of us, but when we do meet again, I'll have a lot to tell you. But that doesn't mean I don't miss you." Gohan said with a sad smile.

He felt Goten leave the shower so it was time to leave. "Bye Dad, I'll see you tomorrow." Was all he said as he walked out of the meadow. By the time Gohan was back at the house, Goten already got into his pajamas and was eagerly waiting for Gohan.

"So which story do you want to hear?" Gohan asked.

"Tell me how you fought the Guinea Force before Dad came!" Goten said.

Gohan responded with a smile and looked at the happy child. He tucked Goten in and started the story. " Ginyu Force Goten, that's what they were called. Anyway, Krillin and I were facing off Guldo, an ugly green four-eyed alien. He had the ability to stop time. We were doing great and did some tag-team attacks, but didn't seem to win. Then Vegeta…"

That's the end of chapter 3. I know I said it would take 2 weeks for me to update, but I found some time to write this weekend, so enjoy.
I'm really grateful for all the awesome reviews and responses I'm getting from people. Thank you very much! I hope people won't hate me for giving him a new superhero alias, but Great Saiyaman didn't suit Gohan the way I want to portrait him and Gold Fighter is to generic. I've never written a fighting scene in my life, so I'll do some research for the next chapter. And the Pai Sho board is the only reference to Avatar, Gohan will not become the new Avatar or anything. I just love that game and some series need referencing every once in a while. If someone noticed the movie reference I did in this chapter, brownie points for you!
The chapter is a bit longer, do you prefer it this way or should I go back to 2k chapters? I might update next week but if I won't it'll be on the 30th.
