Thank you all for the reviews. Made me realize I more than messed up on a few parts, especially putting Capsule Corp. in Satan City like an idiot, I'll come up with something for that. As for Frast, I just wanted to get her introduced for now, I think this will probably be the last chapter dealing with her for a while. Also for Cole, I'll touch base on why there's a little bit of panic as to why he can use Ki attacks.

-Chapter 3-

Gohan woke up at 6:30 the next morning. The alarm clock sat on a window sill in between Gohan and Goten's beds. Goten stirred a little, he looked at the alarm and his brother, and then he pulled his sheets over most of his head and went back to sleep. He tried but he couldn't manage to fit all of his hair underneath his sheets too. Gohan noticed and chuckled to himself, he wondered if his father ever had that problem since their haircuts are identical. Gohan got up and turned off the alarm, he looked outside and thought to himself, 'Where did it all go? It didn't seem too long ago that I would be running around these woods.' He stood there for a minute brushing his fingers through his short black hair. It characteristically stood up like that off his father's and Vegeta's. Gohan knew that this is how his life would be for the next couple of years, he may as well get used to it. He walked over to the closet next to the door and pulled out some clothes. He decided that just a pair of jeans and a nice shirt would be all he needed, no one else seemed to dress fancy. He changed, put on his nice, black, leather shoes Chichi bought for him just for school. He was almost down the stairs when he forgot to pin for his shirt. He ran back up to grab it and came back downstairs.

"Good morning Gohan," Chichi greeted her son warmly, her mood has definitely improved since last night.

"Good morning mom," Gohan greeted her back, he still was troubled by Cole. He kept thinking the same thing over and over last night, 'How could he use Ki? It is such a closely guarded secret by our friends, we would never teach someone we could sense darkness in, none the less let them roam around while we knew it. And on top of that Hercule made the whole world think it was a bunch of tricks, so no one believed it was possible.'

"The world's savior has a plan to protect us from Cole already," Chichi said sarcastically. She was still angry about Hercule taking all of the credit.

"About time," Gohan replied, equally sarcastically. They both laughed and sat down to eat.

"He's supposed to address the world this evening."

"Where is he giving his solution?"

"Right smack in the middle of Satan City, where else would he go?"

"I might go check it out after school."

"You're kidding."

"No, I'm serious. This could be good, plus I'm sure they could always use an extra hand that they don't know of."

"If you want to," Chichi knew she wouldn't be able to stop her son from going, plus she wanted this Cole person defeated.

Chichi was more than used to cooking for Saiyans, so breakfast for Gohan was just as large as his dinner. It sported a hundred pancakes, a couple jugs of juice, and a whole bushel of fruit. The two of them finished eating their breakfast and they cleared the table. Gohan went and grabbed his bag. Said good bye to his mother and flew for the city. It was about 7:15 by the time he left. More than enough time, he wasn't going to have to rush this time. 'I really should be Super Saiyan when I'm flying, I won't have to worry about people if they see me,' Gohan thought. He agreed with himself and transformed, the trail of golden light behind him. He heightened his senses as he passed over the highway, he wasn't going to let anyone cause trouble while he's around. Just as he finished his thought he looked down and saw a car racing between cars taking pot shots at a police car chasing it. 'Oh geez, he thought to himself. I sure know how to jinx myself,' he flew down to intercept the shooting car.

"Ma'am, if you don't mind, I have a question," the lieutenant spoke up. His voice contrary to his appearance was quite soft. His armor was much more elaborate than the common foot soldier, it was actually a full suit that sported a helmet with a scouter built in to it. His orange skin and green Mohawk of hair made him seem like quite a rowdy man, yet he was very soft spoken, it's always the quiet ones that were the most vicious in the galaxy.

"Yes lieutenant?"

It's been 12 hours since the Tuffles left, since then the war ship has been quiet, ready for anything.

"Why are we going to take so long on this ship if you have the smaller one that can get there in a week? And why are we even dealing with these Tuffles? They're so weak and pathetic it makes me sick."

"And that's why you'll never be a great leader," Frast hissed angrily. She didn't like her orders being questioned, even if it was by her second in command. "Do you know why my family has fallen to these Saiyans?"

"Is it because the Saiyans are powerful?"

"You cannot think only of power when it comes to battle, there is also strategy. What my family made the mistake of doing is running head first with no idea of what they were doing. All Frieza and my father wanted was straight up revenge, and it clouded their judgment. They had no idea how many warriors were on the planet and what caliber they would be of. Cooler did the same thing, he ran in to conquer those who have challenged us and he fell. What's even worse is that they all underestimated their opponents. I could leave this ship, fly to Earth myself, get there in a day or two before the Tuffles, destroy the Earth from its orbit and then kill the Tuffles. However that isn't cold enough for me. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and like all great meals, it requires a great amount of preparation. I will not ruin this chance to achieve what my fallen family couldn't."

"I understand revenge, and all of that, but this is wasted effort."

Frast got impatient, she was already in the third transformed state. She hated it because her feminine side wanted to show off the power she has with jewels and such, however she also loved the intimidation and psychological aspect it came with. She only needed to flick her lieutenant to send his corpse flying across the room, bust through the wall and open a void into cold space. She decided that a show of rage was in order, "THEN YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND REVENGE AT ALL, HAVE YOU NOT LISTENED TO ME! I WILL MAKE THESE SAIYANS DIE, BUT BEFORE THAT THEY WILL WATCH EVERYTHING THEY LOVE, ALL THAT THEY HAVE BUILT ON THEIR NEW WORLD CRUMBLE UNDER THEIR FEET!"

She finished her rant and stood up, half the guards in the room lost consciousness. She could tell her lieutenant was about to be next. She walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "Listen to me, my decisions will never be questioned again. You will go around this ship and tell everyone that there will be no slacking. I want the infantry to train and prepare themselves for our date on Earth. I want all of them to study the information we have gathered from our eavesdropping scouters and accounts by Frieza, and especially once the Tuffle reports start coming in. If I find out that I'm employing lazy bums of soldiers, they'll all be dumped into space and I'll find more. But that's not before I slit your throat in front of everyone on this god damn ship, do I make myself clear?"

The lieutenant was at a loss for words, he just stood there shaking his head. His orange skin shaking under his armor, and his green hair looking like it just wanted to run off of his head. He immediately ran for the barracks as Frast walked over towards the viewport and stood staring into space. Her thoughts echoed through her head, 'I will not make the same mistakes my family did.'

Gohan went tearing down from the sky to the ground until he was hovering over the trigger happy car. It was an old, red, beat down used car. He could definitely tell they bought it a day before just for this. What also gave it away that they just bought it used was the "live life in peace" bumper sticker that they didn't bother to take off. 'You know I always wondered how they can keep firing and never run out of ammo,' he thought. He looked in the rearview seat and saw it half occupied with money and the other half with ordinance. 'That's how,' he thought to himself with a sigh. He went down and picked the car up by its rear bumper and flew straight into the air with it until they were 300+ feet from the ground. Gohan just hovered there grinning to himself as looked into the car. The gunmen just stared at him with terror on their faces. They all wore black leather jackets and black ski mask, the one exception being the man in the passenger seat wearing a pair of black sunglasses. 'Why don't they ever change it up a bit, what's wrong with red or yellow? Either way walking around with guns and bags of money in your hand screams I stole this, especially if you're wearing a ski mask,' Gohan thought to himself, slightly disappointed in the criminals. He looked down at the police who were just dumbfounded, they all sat there with jaws dropped and guns at their sides.

"Sorry guys I'd love to take you home with me, but I'm sure the police want you more," Gohan said as he rapidly descended towards the ground. He landed and put the car upside down right next to where the police had set up a roadblock. Police officers instantly surrounded the car with guns drawn. By the time they thought to talk to the golden man, he was gone.

"A GOLDEN man!" Videl screamed at the officer. She was angry but that wouldn't kill the officer's good mood.

"Yes, you should've seen it he was here less than 15 minutes ago. He picked the car up and flew up straight in the air with it. He was surrounded by gold light, it was incredible."

Videl just left the officer and walked back to her capsule copter. She's been chasing that gold light since yesterday. Her mini helicopter came in handy when she chased it all the way to West City where she looked all over town just to chase more golden light to the outskirts of the mountains. 'Just my luck, why does fortune always frown on me when it comes to these things?' Videl thought to herself with a pout. Her pig tails picked up with the wind as she started flying back towards the city.

Gohan landed in an alley by the edge of the city and transformed. 'We'll see how serious Videl is about seeing me transformed before I try and hide anything more,' Gohan thought to himself. He walked out of the alley and across the street whenever he saw a capsule copter coming tearing through the air, it was a light blue shade and had enough room to comfortably seat two. Yet it was small enough that it could land on an empty street without any hassle. Which it did, right in front of Gohan, who wasn't surprised to see Videl in the pilot's seat. Videl hopped out, condensed her copter back into capsule form. As soon as she put the capsule in its case she looked up and saw Gohan awkwardly watching her.

"Hey Videl, what's up?" Gohan asked trying to be casual, even though he knew this is the second time he got seen with the golden light by him.

"Hi Gohan, I'm trying to find out about these freaky golden light trails. I responded to a call on the highway where there were gunmen but the golden man cam, lifted the car a couple feet in the air, and landed it right for the cops. Before they could talk to him though he left," Videl said with an agitated tone in her voice.

"Oh wow, that's incredible. He must've done it before I hit town."

"How do you usually get here?"

"My mom usually drops me off"

"Did you see who left the light trail?"

"No I just got on this street and it was here," Gohan actually didn't lie this time, he gets a little annoyed about how flying as a Super Saiyan leaves the trail.

"Nice, did I ever ask where you live?"

"439 East District, it's pretty far. We have to leave early to drive here."

"That is pretty far. Then what were you doing at Capsule Corp. yesterday?"

Gohan was starting to get tired of questions, Videl was eating at his time. He didn't want just make it to school every day, "Videl, can we just talk in school, I don't want to rush across town every day."

Videl realized she was practically interrogating Gohan and instantly felt bad. Gohan was a good guy in her mind, he hasn't done anything yet. She frowned a little at how she just treated him and said, "Yeah sorry Gohan."

"Thanks, see you at school," Gohan said as he started walking. 'Man she was starting to look upset, I'll have to apologize when I see her next,' Gohan reflected. He looked at his watch, again he had just enough time to make it to class if he booked it. Gohan picked up his pace and kept thinking to himself. In particularly, Cole, something just didn't add up about him. He had enough Ki to wipe out a city, yet he was just a normal human. Judging by the stances he took and the attacks he used he wasn't taught by any one Gohan knew. It puzzled him deeply, 'Next time I run into him, I can't show off like I did last time. I'm going to have to go right at him.' Gohan finally reached school with five minutes to spare. He was walking to class when a joyful Erasa found him. She was wearing a blue shirt and jeans that seemed to fit her well. She walked right up to Gohan and gave him a hug.

"Gohan, I was worried about you yesterday. If it was an emergency I'm sorry, what happened?"

"Oh um, well-"

"Come on Erasa, it's clear he isn't much of a talker," said the familiar jock, he wore a yellow tank top with tan pants. He hardly acknowledged Gohan except with a glance.

"Sharpener, believe it or not friends talk about these things, not push them away."

"Right that reminds me Gohan. Mr. Satan just donated a whole bunch of money to putting a martial arts program in during P.E. I'm sure you know how to fight, especially after our bout in the boxing ring. You want to go at it today?" Sharpener asked with a grin. He might have been a little limited in a boxing ring, but in martial arts he had more options.

"Uh, well."

"Come on Gohan prove me wrong about how you're just a lucky book worm."

"Fine Sharpener, he'll go. And he'll beat you too," said Erasa as she grabbed Gohan by his arm and dragged him away from the jock. 'How am I going to do this without accidentally killing the guy?' Gohan worried. Yet at the same time he looked forward to humiliating the jerk again. "Don't worry about him, he just feels threatened by you. I saw how you handled him yesterday, if you beat him at his own thing he'll know to leave you alone," Erasa said confident in Gohan.

Gohan didn't really know what to do or what to say. Erasa clung to his arm like a toddler at a crowded mall, he didn't know if he liked it or not. The two of them walked into class like that and the teacher looked up with a face of disapproval and said, "No, not in this class. You two leave that in the hall where it belongs."

The whole class started to laugh as Gohan realized what he meant. 'He thinks we're a couple!' Gohan thought as we pulled his arm free. Erasa just stood there and smiled. She happily followed Gohan to their seats, purring like a kitten. Just as they reached their seats Videl and Sharpener walked through the door. They both walked up, Videl followed by the jock. She just looked disgusted as Sharpener kept grinning.

"What happened this time?" Erasa asked.

"I'm getting sick of this guy," Videl pointed at Sharpener.

"Hey Gohan, are you ready for our match today?" Sharpener asked excitedly.

"Uh, yeah," Gohan responded, he still didn't figure out how he was going to go about with it.

The bell rang and the teacher started his lecture. Gohan was trying to pay attention to him, but Erasa wanted it instead. She kept staring at him and distracting him, he'd look over and she would wave to him and he would wave back awkwardly. He had no idea why she was so friendly to him. Until during one of their awkward moments the teacher just turned around and stared. The glare through his glasses seemed to penetrate through Gohan's soul as the teacher once again said impatiently, "Ok you two, I told you once, I will not say it again. No more of this, it stays in the hall where it belongs, keep it up and you both get detention."

The whole class was silent except for Sharpener who started to laugh.

"Sharpener, detention," the teacher said as he turned around to face the board again.

Sharpeners gleeful expression turned dim, and everyone wanted to laugh at his misfortune. He just turned and glared at Gohan who thought, 'this just isn't going to be your day.'

Cole woke up in his small sack in the corner of his cabin. He stood up wearing his jeans, socks, and shirt, and cracked his entire spine as he twisted himself. 'Good night's rest,' he thought to himself. He inspected his cabin, it was just one room with a table, a box where he kept his things, and a small kitchen area that sported a wood burning range and a sink that tapped into a nearby well. He walked up to the one mirror in his cabin and inspected himself. His blood red hair was slicked by the way he liked it, it reached towards the back of his head. He also took time to take admire the scar a wolf gave him his first night here. He then pulled a small tooth out of his pocked to admire the token he took from the wolf after he slayed it. He sat down at the small table and started thinking to himself about his plans. 'If I can't even touch that kid then there's really not too much I can do in terms of ruling the world,' he thought to himself disappointedly, 'However I can do my best to try and ruin him, and I still have to work on dethroning Hercule.' His sad, sick smile started to grow on his face. 'It's too early though, he'll be expecting me to do something large for now. But he hasn't seen my face thanks to that hood, a luxury he doesn't have,' the sadistic man started to grow excited. "But hey I have plenty to do here, and there's still much to learn," Cole said as he walked towards the range. He opened up where you would normally wood sat a small ornate box, he pulled it out and set it on the table. He carefully opened it and filled through the scrolls. "Maybe I did learn everything from these already," he said with a frown, "I bet I can find another box where I found you though!" Cole excitedly put the box and its contents back in the range and ran outside. He took a knee and extended his sense, 'well there doesn't seem to be anyone out here, I may as well fly.' He levitated and starting flying towards a mountain on the horizon, his smile on his face thinking about how there could be more techniques to learn. More ways to get an advantage, more ways to kill, another way to test himself. He flew off in the horizon, eager as ever.

Gohan hasn't been paying attention at all until Gym class came. He was trying to keep watch out for Cole. He didn't know whether or not the killer saw the pin for his school, but he wasn't going to be surprised if he decided to take a visit. But more or less Gym came quick, which was actually going to be a lot nicer considering he could eat lunch before it. It was a shame though his friends ate at different times than he did. Sharpener was already at the ring standing before half the class was out, a smile on his face. Gohan knew Sharpener told half the school that two of them were fighting today, everyone in the class was excited for it. Everyone but the anticlimactic teacher who could tell Gohan really didn't care about the fight but Sharpener did. The teacher was sporting a pair work out shorts and a grey shirt the said in orange, "Orange Star High School Sports." He ordered everyone into line, called role, and then did something no one saw coming, took a seat on a chair he brought. "Today, I'm sure you've all heard about how Hercule donated a whole ton of money so you could practice martial arts in his name," a trollish smile grew on his face as he knew the whole class was waiting for the fights to begin, "But today we'll be going over the rules of the ring as well as a brief history lesson in respect to the man who made this possible. Sorry to get you all changed out here ready to go for nothing but this will probably take the whole class. You may as well take a seat"

Everyone looked shocked and disappointed, none more than Sharpener. Gohan however wanted to start laughing, he found the move funny, it almost reminded him of his father. The gym teacher never talked about the rules, and he quite frankly made fun of Hercule Satan a lot. He liked to poke that Satan got soft after his fight with Cell. It didn't sit over too well with Videl, but the he didn't real care about her, regardless most of the students. So they all sat there for almost 40 minutes listening to the teacher tell them rules and history that they all knew already. Whenever he dismissed them he called Gohan over to talk, "You know, teachers really aren't as dumb as our idiot students make us out to be."

"Oh I figured that one out about 40 minutes ago haha," Gohan couldn't keep it back anymore, the gym teacher was now his favorite.

"Frankly you all know I care about martial arts rules as much as I do Hercule. I just wanted to take a chance to grind their gears today after all of the times I hear them making fun of me behind my back."

"You sure picked a great day to do it with this fight. I don't know what Sharpener has against me, he just feels the need to try and prove himself better than me."

"Some guys just have to do that, it's what makes them proud men. You have to respect that, and you will never change that."

Gohan was actually shocked that the teacher just stood up for Sharpener.

"I know I'm a proud man too, I didn't do this today to get at Sharpener, rather all you little craps hahaha. Now get out of here, I'm rooting for you tomorrow Gohan."

Gohan walked back to the locker room happy, compared to everyone else in class, the teacher actually taught him something today. After changing the students were all waiting out in the hall as usual. Sharpener was about to come over to talk trash at Gohan when he was intercepted by Videl, "Hey Gohan, you said before we could talk more now, right?"

Gohan did suppose he said that, "Yeah I guess I did, what's up?"

Sharpener saw what just happened and walked away like a sad dog.

"So what were you doing at Capsule Corp.? Do you work there?"

'May as well be honest with this one,' "No I know Bulma Briefs."

Videl looked shocked, "are you two related?"

'She is the closest thing I have to an aunt,' "No, she's a friend of the family."

"Good friend to have, was that why you had to leave?"

'Well considering a huge Ki spike came out of nowhere, she was a stop,' "Yeah I promised to come by and tell her about my first day of school."

"Well it's good to hear you have good friends, any other connections with famous people?"

'I'm getting good at this lying thing,' "No, and I don't really think of Bulma being famous when I'm with her, she's just Bulma."

'That's pretty notable as a good guy,' "Well that's really good to hear, Gohan. Guess what happened right after you disappeared? Another golden light trail showed up. And it headed right for the mountains when I tried chasing it."

'Should've probably been a little more careful about that,' "No kidding, I ran back inside to see if I could get a ride from Bulma."

'Wait a second, he lives in the mountains, 439 East District. That's kind of where the streak dissipated towards,' "Gohan, have you ever seen anything odd where you live? Like people flying or something?"

'Only giant fish and dinosaurs that roam everywhere, I'm not even going to mention Goten,' "Not really, it's pretty quiet where I live."

'Well it was worth a shot,' "Well thanks for going through another round of questions with me again."

"Yeah no problem, but if you don't mind, I'd like to ask you some questions now?"

'Oh, that's different,' "shoot."

'Let's see what we can do here,' "Well, I heard that your last name is Satan."

'Let's see if he wins the prize,' "Yes."

"So are you related to Hercule?"

'WE HAVE A WINNER! COME TAKE YOUR PRIZE GOHAN, A YEAR SUPPLY OF FREE RICE!' "He's my dad."

'Figured as much, she has a decent Ki level,' "So does that mean you're going to be with your dad for his speech today?"

"How do you know about that?"

'Seriously?' "I live in the mountains, not in a hole. We have T.V. up there too, I saw it on the news."

'Woops' "Oh, sorry I didn't mean it like that."

"It's fine, but hey I have to get going, so see you later?"

"Yeah, see you later Gohan."

Gohan walked away, Videl couldn't help but smile, she didn't even know why. At one point she was making fun of him in her mind. She had to sort through her thoughts a bit, she looked up and saw a giggling Erasa lunging at Gohan's arm and she felt her blood boil a little. She just walked the other way.

Other than that one conversation, the day went by pretty fast for Gohan. Teachers were done with the first day of class excuse and weren't putting up with any more talking so the trio (Sharpener had detention) had to wait until after school to make plans to hang out.

"Well I actually have to be with my dad for his speech, so I'm just going to go home now," Videl said as she waved good bye.

"Yeah I have to get some homework done. Second day of school and I have homework, maybe you can help me Gohan, after all you're the smartest guy in class," Erasa said with a wink.

Gohan felt uncomfortable, besides he wanted to go check on Trunks anyway, and he wanted a little surprise at least, "Not today Erasa, I really have to go visit someone, they're not doing so well."

"That's fine we have all year," Erasa said and waved good bye.

'Now, I need to have some fun before I leave Satan City,' Gohan thought to himself. He tried to sense Videl's Ki, it wasn't too hard, hers was higher than the average person. Gohan ducked into an empty alley, transformed into a Super Saiyan and flew right for Videl. He passed her and started to make his way for the look out. He looked behind him and saw her furiously running after him but she couldn't make it through the crowd of people before the trail of light dissipated. She stood there with her arms crossed angrily and marched back to her house. Gohan laughed a little and thought, 'well there's one sighting that I wasn't in the vicinity of.' Gohan sped up and headed straight for the lookout.

Well another chapter done for now, I admit there's some more I can do with this but I'd rather just post this now and get started the next time I'm free. But hey, thanks for the reviews, especially for the ones that post where I made a mistake like about Capsule Corp. being in Satan City haha. Also I plan on this chapter being the last one with Frast for a while. Well hey let me know what you all think, and I'll try to get the next one out soon.
