(AN: Welcome to Chapter 3 Of AWNA, I'll try to update atleast once a week. Going for 4K words this chapter, hopefully I can get there. Starting the writing of this on the 28th, anyways, enjoy! Also, I've learned a few ways to make my writing better, and hopefully I can get better using them.)

Chapter 3

Thirty minutes after the group's encounter with Tien, they had headed to Videl's house. Once they arrived, Gohan found himself calling his mom to talk to Goten.

"Son household, Chi-Chi speaking." His mom said right as she answered the phone.

"Hey Mom, I'm going to be at a friends house. Can you tell Goten to take the nimbus to Satan City's Ice Cream Shop at six?"

"Next time ask, and yes I will tell him. So what's the plan?" His mom asked.

"Well, I'm watching movies with three other people at a friends house until about six, when we're all going to go trick or treating with Goten."

"Well If Goten goes you should let Trunks come." His mom replied.

"Well, that's fine with me, I'll call by Capsule corp if the others are alright with it."

"Alright, well have fun." His mom told him, she seemed to be a little less strict than what she was like a few years ago.

"I willl. Love ya."

"Love you too."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Gohan walked back up the stairs into Videl's room and handed her the phone back. "Thanks. Him and one of his friends are coming, if that's alright with you."

"The more the merrier." Erasa said. "What are they dressing up as?"

"Goten is going to be a giant pumpkin, I don't know about Trunks." He turned to Videl. "Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm going to need to see your phone again." He told Videl.

"Oh that's fine." She said as she handed him the phone and he dialed Bulma's number.

"It's Trunks, who is it?"

"It's Gohan. Trunks, you wanna come trick or treating with me or Goten? You gotta act good and no tricks or powers or anything."

"Alright I'll come."

"Okay, well we'll meet at the ice cream shop here in Satan City at 6ish. Wait, do you have a costume?" Gohan asked.

"No, but my mom can make me one real quick."

"What are you gonna be?"

"You'll see." Trunks said as he hung up.

Gohan once again handed the phone to Videl.

"So what movie are we going to watch?" Erasa asked. "How about The Alien Invasion of Age 762?"

"You mean the movie about the supposed alien attack from when we were kids?" Videl asked.

"Yeah, it's supposed to be really good."

"Well let's watch it!" Videl said as she took the remote typed the name of the movie. Meanwhile, Gohan was sitting on the corner of the couch, face white, but not as white as earlier. He really wasn't in the mood to watch what happened to his family and friends when he was younger, but he didn't really have

Gohan looked at his watch. 5:45. The movies sucked, straight up, awful, and they could all agree on that. It was nothing like what really happened, which was a good thing, but it was still a waste of time. They decided to change into their costumes at that moment and drive to the ice cream shop in the costumes. So, once they all got changed in different rooms, the four walked outside.

"So, Jet Copter or car?" Sharpener asked.

"Car." Videl said, Sharpener threw his capsulized convertible in response. He hopped in, followed by his three friends.

"Well, let's go!" He shouted as he flew down the road in his convertible.

'I don't know what's more dangerous, being a passenger in a car that Sharpener is driving or fighting Cell.' Gohan thought. As the rid e continued his mind started to drift to what Tien had said. 'Why me, like why? And why would Tien even want to host a field trip, I bet he won't be able to stand teenage humans. They must've paid him, but why would he want to be paid?' Gohan thought. Once they were just a minute or so out, Gohan scanned the ki signatures near by. Goten and Trunks were indeed already there, hopefully they hadn't caused too much of a problem.

They arrived after five minutes, and Gohan was the first to walk into the shop, he walked over to Goten and Trunks who were sitting in a booth eating ice creams.

"Hey squirt, hey Trunks." He said as he sat down. "Look, before my friends come in I have to make one thing clear to y'all, if you say or do one think involving Saiyans, our past, Saiyaman, or our powers I will lock you in the GR with Vegeta and not let you out to get food for a week." He said, as the two boys' face drained of color, the other three caught up to Gohan right after he finished talking.

"Hey Gohan. Is that your brother and his friend?" Erasa asked.

"Yeah, the one with black hair is my brother Goten, and the other one is his friend Trunks."

"Trunks, Goten, this is Erasa, Videl, and Sharpener." He said as he pointed to each of his friends as their names came up in the conversation.

"Hey Goten. Hey Trunks." Erasa greeted. 'this Trunks kid looks way too familiar. Like I've seen him on TV or something.'

"I'm going to go order the ice cream." Sharpener said, breaking Erasa out of her train of thought.

Once they finished their ice cream, they realized there was a problem. They couldn't just drive to each house, there was too many people for five seats.

"Let's just walk. That makes it feel more like a Halloween anyways." Erasa said, the sun was already going down. All six carried a big pumpkin container to keep candy in. They walked down the street, they had decided they would go to the rich neighborhood, because they were rich they'd probably give out more candy.

They finally arrived once the sun was all the way down and it was dark. There was tons of people, mostly kids with their parents, roaming the streets.

"Hey look! That house has a light on, doesn't that mean free candy!?" Goten asked, excited to see the first house.

"Usually." Erasa said, as she led the group to the door. Knock knock.

The door opened to an elderly lady smiling.

"Trick or treat!" Goten said, chucking afterwards.

"Oh yes, you all must want candy." She said as she grabbed a handful of candy from her bag and put it in Erasa's bag, then each of the others.

"Thank you." Gohan said, receiving a chuckle from the women.

"Have a great Halloween y'all." She said and laughed, closing her door.

"She was nice." Erasa said, looking in her bag. "What did y'all get?"

"She gave me a lot of pops and a popcorn ball." Videl said.

"She gave me like a thousand snickers." Gohan said looking into his bag.

Sharpener was staring at his bag in awe.

"What did she give you Sharpie?" Erasa asked.

"A rock." He said and every burst out laughing including Goten and Trunks.

"Did she really?" Videl said while laughing. Sharpener just showed Videl the bag, once she saw it she started laughing so hard she almost cried. It was safe to say that lady didn't exactly like Sharpener for some reason.

Their legs were tired. Their bags were heavy. Erasa looked down at her Phone to see the time. 11:12. How much longer would this be?

It seemed like Goten and Trunks could do this forever, and Gohan certainly didn't mind.

They had finally gotten through with their second neighborhood, and Goten insisted they did one more neighborhood.

"Most people are already asleep Goten."

"But some still have lights on! We'll go there, but if you guys are too tired you can just wait here." Goten suggested.

Seeing as their was no way anything would happen to the two since there was still many more people trick or treating, they let them go.

As Goten and Trunks approached their second house of the street, it didn't feel right. The outside was decorated, but it wasn't the same. They knocked on the door and an older Italian man opened it.

"Trick or treat." Trunks said as he raised his bag out.

"Oh, I'm sorry I left my candy in the basement, can you come help me get it? I'll give you both extra." He said, motioning the two to come inside. "Follow me." He said.

He opened the door to the staircase to the basement, which Goten nor Trunks seemed to see walking in. It was well hidden. Once they got down to the basement the man pulled something black out of his pants, but it was too dark to really see what it was. "Is that our candy?" Goten asked.

"No." He said as he tried to push Goten into the corner, but he didn't budge. "What the." He said as he tried again, he didn't budge. The man seemed to not care and walked over to the stairs. Meanwhile, Goten was looking around the room when he saw something. It was two pairs of eyes from the corner.

"Wair Mr! I think there is two people over there." Goten said pointing to the other corner of the room. The man just walked up the stairs and shut the door behind him.

"Goten I think he's trying to lock us down here." Trunks said.

"Why would he do that?"

"Well, why else would he ask us to come to his basement? Heck, there's already two people down here." Trunks said.

"Ya, you're probably right."

"So let's get out of here." Trunks said and Goten nodded. The two turned Super Saiyan at the same exact time, lighting the room up. They looked to the corner of the room. The eyes.

The two pairs of eyes they saw. They belonged to two kids. Who laid slouched against the wall. Dead.

"Goten we have to go now." Trunks said as he looked back to Goten, who nodded. They charged for the door and broke it. The man, looked at the door when they saw it.

"Wha-how did you-" the man managed to get out before Trunks walked over to him and punched him in the groin, and then in the head, effectively knocking him out. He dragged the man out side, followed by Goten. Trunks dragged him with his left arm, as the right had the candy bag in it.

"Hey Tru-" Erasa started, but wasn't able to finish as she saw he was dragging someone. She gasped.

"Why are you dragging someone?" Gohan asked.

"Well, this guy tried to lock us in his basement." Trunks replied.

"For real though, why?" Videl asked.

"I'm serious. Right Goten?" trunks replied.

"Yeah, he asked us if we could help him get candy." Goten said.

"And you just managed to knock him with ease and escape."

"Yeah, we just went Super Saiyan." Trunks said and shrugged, Gohan's face drained of all color.

"Super what?"

"Super Sai-" Trunks started before Gohan interrupted.

"Yeah, well we should turn this guy into the police." Gohan said, Vide modding in response.

"Oh and there was two kids in there that were dead." Trunks said as if it were nothing.

"Woah, what now?"

"Two kids in his basement were dead." Trunks said again, as if it was an every day thing.

"Erasa call the police. Sharpener stay here and make sure this guy stays here and doesn't try to escape if he wakes up." Videl said as the two nodded. "Gohan, I'm going to need your help here."

"Uh, okay." He said. So they all walked over to the house, led by Trunks.

"The door was somewhere around here" Trunks said as he walked around. "It blends in." The four walked around the wooden floor. "Here it is!"

They opened the door to the basement and walked down the stairs.

"They were right there." Trunks said as he pointed at the corner. "Oh wait that's where we were. They were over there." He said as he pointed to the corner. They walked over to the corner and saw something. They were right. Two people were in the corner. Videl turned the flashlight on her phone.

They were both boys, the first boy was five or so, the other was their age. Both had blond hair. She turned the flashlight back to the second one, and tapped him. He moved. He was alive.

He seemed to have woke up and tried to say something. But as Videl soon noticed, there was tape over his mouth. She pulled it off.

"Thanks so much." He said as he got up. "I' Max. I tried to come down here to get this kid. So, I was walking by with my little sister, Trick or treating and I saw him get this kid to come inside. It was about two hours ago. I don't know if my sister even made it home."

"Well, we're glad we could find you. We have the man who did this." Videl said.

"The man? There was two." Max informed them.

"Two? Where's the other one?" Videl asked.

Once Gohan heard this he scanned the building. Someone was in the basement with them. Then Gohan felt it. Someone was breathing down his neck, and Goten and Trunks were to his left. Gohan turned around and threw a punch to the person's head, and another to the right side of his face, he fell over.

"What the hell. He was there the whole time?" Videl asked. She shined the flash light over him.

He was an older guy, looked like a sailor, he was tall, had light hair and was in a brown suit with a brown hat on. On his suit was a sticky note, Videl read.

"What does it say?" Gohan asked.

"It says, too late." Videl replied.

Gohan noticed something red next to the note. "We have to go now!" Gohan shouted. He picked Videl up and ran, followed by the other three. Once they got up the stairs they tried to open the door but it was locked.

VIDEL'S POV

She heard police sirens. She thought back to the note. 'Too late.' What did that mean? Then, Gohan busted the door down like it was nothing. They all ran out, and she soon followed. Police cars were everywhere, but that's the last thing she saw. The building exploded.

(AN: 3K words. I've been real busy, I'm sorry it took so long to write this. Tried to make this a more mysterious chapter. Soon it will be less fun and games with Gohan and his friends and more questioning and crime fighting as Saiyaman. I re-read this one once, and didn't see any notable mistakes. I'm trying to limit the authors notes to only the beginning and end of the story. Anyways, please review and give me your thoughts on this chapter and what I could do later on in this story. Hopefully it hasn't been too bad of a story.)

Until next time.
