Chapter 3: When the Music Stops

…

"What do you think you're looking at?" The raven haired girl he was staring at, all but exclaimed.

Erasa walked over to the girl who was wearing bike shorts, slapping her gently on the back. "Oh come on Vi, he's new. Cut him some slack; remember what you did to the last new one? Besides he's kind of cute."

"That's all you think about Erasa. Who are you anyway?" Icy blue eyes, gazed into warm onyx ones.

"I'm Gohan… Gohan Mune. What's your name?" Gohan asked, deciding to be polite. He was in a different environment, and he didn't know anyone. It was best to try and get their trust and stab them in the back, after all one of them must know the assassin. The assassin… Gohan had never found, his mother had been unforgivingly murdered, at the time they couldn't use the dragon balls. Afterwards he had managed to gather them, and quickly summoned Shenron, only to find out that she could not be brought back. For reasons, 'not understandable by mere mortals.' In the space of less than a year, he'd lost everything. A father, a mother and an unborn sibling.

"Oh come on, Mister Moon." The boy with long hair and a blue singlet moaned sarcastically, "Even up there you must've heard of Videl Satan. You know the daughter of Hercule Satan?"

Gohan rubbed his head nervously, where had he heard that name before. He knew it somewhere, somehow, but he just couldn't put his finger on it.

"Please tell me you've heard of Hercule? The defeater of Cell? Does that ring a bell?" Sharpener's eyes widened, if he hadn't heard of the name Satan, this kid must've had an isolated childhood. In fact he probably barely had a childhood.

"But I- Oh yeah you mean Hercules right? Hercules Devil right? I've heard of him." Gohan frowned slightly as he tried to remember who this supposed defeater of Cell was. He thought back to the Cell games, as he remembered the ZTV filming crew. 'Which one was he again? Oh yeah, that's right. He was the obnoxious one with a weird haircut. An afro if I'm not mistaken.' Gohan's eyes flashed with recognition.

Sharpener gazed suspiciously at the teenager; it was a well-known fact that Hercule was called both, Hercules and Devil. They were both puns on his name, but nobody referred so casually to him like that. "Well Videl is his daughter." The blond received a punch to his gut, from his raven haired friend.

"I'm more than capable of taking care of myself, thank you." Videl spoke in a gruff voice, brandishing her knuckles. "Name's Videl Satan, pleasure to meet you." She held out her hand.

Gohan was confused, what on Earth was she doing? 'One minute ago, she was yelling at me, and now she's acting like it had never happened?' Gohan grasped the hand firmly, his smooth hand dancing along her bike glove. "It's nice to meet you too."

A large bell rang, an electronic one if Gohan had to take a guess. From the many books which Gohan had read, he was almost certain that it meant the beginning of class. Taking his books from the top of his desk, he began to open them.

"Oi, moon-boy what are you doing? It's tutor period!" Sharpener laughed at the new boy's apparent idiocy.

"It's w-what?" This had definitely not been in any of the books he had read, there had always been a bell, and the character would move to the next class.

"Oh come on Sharpie, cut him a break, he's been home-schooled his entire life. It's not his fault he doesn't know how it works." Erase smiled gracefully before sending a wink towards Gohan.

The teacher walked in the door, frowning quite deeply. Until he noticed Gohan, it made him smile, Gohan seemed to be the perfect student, or at least that's what his test scores said. He looked slightly to the right of Gohan, only to notice Videl. That brought a far larger smile to his face. "Ahh Miss Satan, you're on time today."

Videl seemed to hear his muttering, and brushed her pig-tailed hair out of her face. "Well the chief hasn't called me in for anything, so it looks like today might be a good day." She smiled back, "besides I'd be missing out on History with you, if he did call me in, Mr. K!"

It was a rare event, Videl Satan smiling and at school on time, in the same day. Something must've been going right. "Always a pleasure to have a student like you, Videl. Now class, quiet down." He raised his voice towards the end of it.

"We have a new student today, I told you about him last year. His name is Mune Gohan, or Gohan Mune, as the Westerners put it. He received perfect scores in every single entrance exam, and I can personally assure you, he will be one of the best History students, I'll ever have test-wise."

Everyone quietened down when they heard the new kid, had received perfect scores on his exams, they all suddenly starred at him.

A few mutters of "Nerd" went around the class, as the girls smiled, the jocks laughed and the A-grade students allowed their jaws to drop. Who was this kid?

'Why do I feel so alienated… They're treating me like I'm some weird alien.'

…

Gohan ripped his school shirt off, as he let the wind embrace his bare chest. It was lunch time, and he decided he needed to catch some air. Though it would definitely not do to have someone recognize the school badge on his baggy blue shirt, so he just ripped the damn thing off and put it in his school back pack. He flew, his aura gently flaring. It was no longer the sweet silver that it was so long ago. It was now a war-tattered and dark grey; he had only noticed it after the assassination… Gohan clenched his fists as he let his mind wander once more… They'd pay, or hell hath no fury.

He laughed manically, as he let his power escalate, his power level rising dramatically. As he slowly ascended to the "legendary" Super Saiyan, flexing his muscles he let out a yell. Lightning struck nearby as a storm washed up, the wind howling as his aura changed from a dark grey to an almost magical golden colour. His now- dark, brown, lifeless- eyes turned into a gleaming light blue, teal. A tint of green was easily available among the pupils.

His hair was flashing wildly as he slowly made the transformation, it glowed bright white before fading to a light yellow, before returning to its former black. The process repeated itself a few times, before his hair stopped suddenly, staying as a bright brilliant gold.

He flew around flipping in the air, shouting wildly. It had been so long since he had done this, and it felt so right. He had finally gotten his portable Ki suppression device working, meaning he could do almost whatever the hell he wanted, without anyone sensing his power. He gave a knowing smile at the bracelet around his wrist, it was the beauty which did all of this.

Before he had, needed to resort to having it completely supressed as he managed to loot a few computers, and pieces of machinery to experiment his device on. First he had it in the shape of a computer which would supress any Ki signature within a one mile radius, if he remembered correctly that was around 1.6 Kilometres, in metric. That was quite a lot, but not much for someone of his calibre. He could do the whole mile in less than a quarter of a second, a couple of times and then some. It was where to this date, his base was. He then focused on fixing the computer, feeling the Ki of nothing at all, was far too obvious. The chances of anyone realising that 'nothing' was there, was slim to none, but Gohan hadn't wanted to take a single chance. He slowly, managed to get it to lock onto his Ki signature, at first it was extremely faulty and would occasionally blow a fuse. He could sense all energy around him, even the one within him. Sensing energy was like sending a small amount of Ki out like radar, almost using the same technology as sound waves. It would hit the target and go through, measuring how large the power was, before returning to the user. He could send the Ki to himself, and back, still getting the same amount of information.

Now Gohan and most of his friends could send out millions of Ki waves within seconds, it was very helpful. There however was always a feeling that something was wrong when he sensed his own mechanically suppressed Ki, it felt as if the waves were being tampered. Luckily he had, field tested it on various animals and began to realise that it felt tampered, because he could feel his own Ki better than others could.

After adding some finesse touches to the computer, he slowly shrunk it into a necklace, which surprisingly worked quite well. The only problem however was that whenever it blew a fuse, it would electrocute him. He may very well have been the strongest being in the universe, but getting electrocuted wasn't very pleasant. Especially with the way that constant electrocution would put him at risk, it would super-fry his body. He then began working on moving the more efficient computer soft wear to a micro-chip, which he hid inside his bracelet. Gohan had to admit however, the bracelet was a smart idea, but a little to suspicious. He would be asked to take it off due to how easily it could cut someone during sporting lessons, and refusing wouldn't help much. Perhaps a watch? Which would seek out his energy level in a certain range and suppress it? He wasn't too sure.

…

He could hear a helicopter a few hundred or so metres in front of him. And to be honest with himself it was really annoying him. The constant sound of the blades cutting the air, ruined the sense of nature which Gohan had come out here to achieve. Even wore was, that if they were to spot him, his life would practically be over, as he would be labelled a freak. He had read it before in a novel, something about the Paparazzi.

He starred on at the chopper, considering blasting it from the sky and onto the ground. When all of a sudden a person jumped out, and the helicopter disappeared in a puff of smoke. In fact, Gohan would say it just de-capsulized and the person who had come out of the Helicopter was carrying a capsule. Now remotely interested, in the fact that a person was about to plunge to their death Gohan almost charged at the person. He however begun to notice, just before he took off that the person fell into a roll.

Landing almost acrobatically, the person began to run down the building which she had landed on. Interestingly enough, it was a bank.

Gohan followed, now extremely interested, was this person about to hold the bank hostage? Another idea which he had gotten from a book, the worst he had done was stolen a computer. And that too, he hadn't really stolen it. He took it from Capsule Corp and Bulma said that her home was their home, once. He wasn't sure, but he didn't really care. He technically stole an item, but he knew Bulma would've let him anyway.

'Besides, the saviour of the Earth should be shown some gratitude as well.' Gohan thought before he began to ferociously shake his head, 'No! Dad wouldn't have said that, not in a million years. He saved the universe countless times and asked for nothing. That wasn't me just then. I've got to make dad proud of me, and prove to him that I'm strong.'

He floated onto the building, before dropping himself and walking down the stairs, tailing the person. He levitated slightly, to not make noise, as he ghostly followed the person.

Attempting to recognise the person, he frowned. He could distinctly see two pig-tails, tied with yellow hair bands, a white over-sized shirt and -what seemed to be – the bottom, of a pair of shrits. Thinking back to earlier that morning, he thought of every member he remembered within the class. Wait a second… That hair… Those shorts… That massive shirt.

"V-Videl?"

I will fight for what's right. Yes that means Kaka's fighting to see a Saiyaman Gohan, rather than the old and usual Gold Fighter bad ass figure. How about it guys? Some humor for once with Saiyaman? (Not going to have him acting like a total idiot, but I'd rather Saiyaman to Gold Fighter). Let us know what you think, and we'll consider it!

Have a look at our Code Geass fic, Heroes of the Ghetto. We intend to have a self insert for almost every TDS member.

Kaka out.
