Chapter 4

For Sale

[BGM: Infamous 2 Red Soundtrack- And I Thought I was a Pyro]

Ten days since V-Day.

High above the city stood the masked hero. Saiyaman looked down upon the city from a stone gargoyle on one of the many skyscrapers. Rain poured all around him and wind blew by, making his jacket flutter. Gohan watched for any signs of danger or struggle in the depths below, sensing for any erratic ki and using his Saiyan hearing to his advantage. His hawk-like eyes observed the finest detail as lightning flashed behind him and thunder rolled through the skies.

At that moment one thing ran through his mind, 'Man I must look so awesome.'

Laying back on the gargoyle with his hands behind his head the warrior sighed, 'But this is so boring. This is nothing like in the mangas and comics where the hero is in a never ending fight against evil. Well, it's almost seven and I'm soaked. I have no idea how Piccolo and Dende do all this watching. I should just contact them and see if they can sense any danger somewhere else.'

As Gohan was about to open a psychic link to the Guardian of Earth, he suddenly felt something strange: fifty energy signals in the same place, none above anything he couldn't handle with ease, but their energy signals all seemed to be rotten to the core, and there was a signal of pure evil in the building.

"Well, it's the best lead I've got so I might as well go with it. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and stop the crime before it happens." Gohan said aloud and then took off towards an older area of the city.

The buildings became smaller and further apart as the hero floated by and the rain battered against his mask. Eventually Gohan found himself in the Warehouse District, famous for the many crime deals that went down there.

Landing in front of a specific warehouse, the Saiyan could pick up muffled voices and shuffling inside, 'Hmm… let's see how lucky I am.' The Saiyan thought as he jumped onto the roof of the building and found a skylight, "Score." Gohan whispered and looked inside.

There were gangs of all sizes and designs ranging from fancy and edict tuxedos and dresses to plain brutes in sleeveless t-shirts. Looking over the faces of the higher-ups, Gohan could make out several crime bosses he had heard about before on the news.

"What the heck is going on in there?" The rain continued its onslaught as a light above a stage was turned on, revealing the man who seemed to be in charge: he seemed to be about twenty five and wore an expensive white suit and shoes with a black tie. His hair was thin and blonde while his face seemed to scream narcissism along with his fake, toothy smile.

Next to him was a young, beautiful, black-haired woman dressed in a black dress and black gloves, seemingly there as an assistant.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Started the man on stage, "Many of you are probably wandering who I am. For specific reasons, I will use the alias of Alex Young, and this is the lovely Naggai, my bodyguard." The two then bowed and Young revealed a silver suitcase from under a black drape as some started to yell out.

"Get on with it!" Yelled a burly thug in the back.

"Yeah, we have places to go!" Agreed another as Adam chuckled and the room went into an uproar.

"Please calm down, calm down. I assure you, this visit will most assuredly be worth your time. After all, why wouldn't you all be afraid when Saiyaman could be nearby?" The room quieted down and the gang members sat back down as Young continued, "As I thought, he is rather a pain in the side isn't he? In ten short days he's stopped multiple bank robberies, drug operations and turf wars with little effort, making a mockery of us. But, I believe I can help."

"How? Are you going to fight him?" Asked one of the better dressed criminals and the room laughed as well as Young.

"With this, I could." Adam nodded to Naggai and she stepped up to the suitcase, opening it and revealing several syringes with a glowing green substance inside, "This ladies and gentlemen is the Body Ultra Upgrade serum, or just B.U.U for short. One injection increases your overall strength by ten thousand times its original, as well as giving you the knowledge of several powers Saiyaman has used before. And with no negative side effects." Boasted the man onstage.

The billionaire was surprised when the crowd laughed at him and held their stomachs. A female gang leader stood up and said, "As if! This was just a big waste of time! I say we slit his throat and see how much he's got in his pockets before the police get here!" Her suggestion was met with cries of agreement.

Adam merely smiled on stage, "Well, if you want to act that way, at least see its results first. May I have a volunteer?" After a few moments, one of the thugs with less brainpower stood up and walked onstage.

"Hey doc, you sure this won't hurt me?" Asked the thug in a deep voice as Naggai began to inject him.

"Relax big fella. It will all be over before you know it."

[Stop BGM]

The bald volunteer growled as he held his stomach and he started to sweat profusely. His eyes bulged as his body shook and started to change. His skin became pale and his arms tripled in muscle mass, making veins evident and the same went for his legs, torso and neck. With a final scream of pain, his bones extended and the thug grew a foot in height, ripping his clothes and making him pant heavily from the transformation.

Meanwhile, the room started in awe as did Gohan, 'No way! He's almost equal with Nappa! And looks about the same too! If he gets another injection this could be trouble…'

Young was basking in the glory of the effects of the serum. This was what he was told it would do, and he could practically smell the money he was certain he would get from this, "Now, shall we start the bid at, let's say… two hundred million Zeni a case?"

[BGM: The Dark Knight Soundtrack 1: Why So Serious?]

The room went silent as Saiyaman dropped from the ceiling and landed with his fist as shards of glass came with him. Standing up slowly, he shot everyone a terrifying glare, as if it were a warning, but looked right into the eyes of Young, as though he were a monster.

"You…" Whispered Young.

"Yes me. You pig. All of you, willing to go to such lengths to carry out crime and hurt people. It makes me sick just standing here. Now turn over that suitcase, or I blow you all to kingdom come." Warned the hero as he held his hand out expectantly.

The meeting caller quickly regained his composure and turned to the thug that had undergone the transformation and nodded at him. The brute didn't waste time and flashed out of sight for most and hit Saiyaman right in the gut, but the shockwave of his own attack hit him and the being was blasted away from an unaffected Saiyaman who started a ki attack with his palm open.

"The suitcase, now!" The orb was complete and Young could only guess the sheer heat of the attack would incinerate him and his confidence began to falter, but not his will to win.

Adam grabbed the suitcase and Naggai, along with all the others in the room, opened fire with automatic weapons, hoping to somehow damage the hero, but Gohan merely stood there as the warehouse was filled with the sounds of gunshots and bullets clinking onto the floor. Unfortunately the thugs soon ran out of ammo.

"Alright, now I'm mad." The masked savior flared his aura and all were forced to the ground and Young dropped the suitcase. It slid across the floor right next to the man who had received the injection, who had only thoughts of revenge.

The room emptied quickly as everyone made for the door, but Gohan kept walking slowly towards Young who was trying to crawl away from the stage. The billionaire looked behind him and gasped as Saiyaman lifted him by the collar making his legs dangle above the floor.

Naggai tried a flying kick but her leg was caught and in a smooth motion Saiyaman threw her to the ground, unconscious.

"Please!" Begged Young as he grabbed at Gohan's hand desperately "Don't hurt me! I'll give you anything!"

"That serum, I remember it from somewhere. Where did you get it?" Saiyaman asked as he pulled Adam in closely with their faces only inches apart.

"I don't know honest! I don't remember how I got it!" Pleaded the man.

"Liar!" Gohan was cut off as a massive growl pierced the air.

[Change BGM: Day After Day by Haji's Kitchen]

The warehouse was filled with a dark cackle as the monster revealed himself. The thug's skin was now as pale as skin could be. His muscles were as thick as a person's body and were covered in veins and his height had increased to the point where he had to hunch in the building. The monsters clothes were ripped apart and only covered his midsection and the monster's eyes were black as night.

"His power. This could be trouble." Whispered Gohan as he dropped Adam and turned to face the brute who laughed again, "Now little man, you die!" Screamed the monster and brought down his fist as Gohan blocked with his arm and grunted in pain.

The shockwave created a massive crater that engulfed the entire district, yet Naggai and Adam somehow survived.

Gohan brought up his power level to match the monster at about five hundred million and had to jump out of the way as another fist came down and the Earth cracked. Gohan began to fire a series of light ki blasts that only stung the behemoth.

The brute flew into the air as he glared at Gohan who flew even further back, "Ka…. Me… Ha… Me… Ha!" The attack went across the sky in a bright blue trail but the being just backhanded it. This was revealed to only to be a distraction as Saiyaman's leg entered the thug's stomach making him double over in pain.

Gohan followed up with a punch to the chin and a blast to the face. The brute responded with a heavy punch that sent Gohan flying towards the city and the Saiyan found himself unable to stop his flight, "Darn it! He's too big! My attacks aren't covering enough area. Looks like I'll have to step this up a notch."

Gohan stopped midair and brought himself up to his full base power as the brute reappeared with his fist outstretched only for Gohan to knock it away and fly full force into his chest with a resounding crash that caught the attention of the people below.

The monster growled as he kneed Gohan and appeared above him with a black ball of ki in hand that Gohan was forced to take lest the city be destroyed. The smoke cleared and the hero fired a golden blast into the monster's eyes that temporarily blinded him.

While the thug roared in pain, the Saiyan flew back away and caught his breath, "What is with this guy? It's too dangerous to drag this out, but it may cost the city a bit."

Gohan flew directly at the brute and allowed himself to be grabbed which was followed by the monster grabbing him and pressing the hero against a skyscraper as they flew along, creating a gaping hole as Gohan was crushed and crashed at the same time.

The brute continued through five buildings before pulling Gohan out and smashing him in a clap that broke the windows in the immediate area, leaving Gohan dazed.

The monster chuckled and threw Gohan into the air and followed with two balls of ki prepared and smiled, certain this would end it.

What surprised him was that Gohan suddenly shot down and punched him in the head, dazing the brute which was followed by Gohan grabbing his leg and a mighty heave that sent the brute into the road below and created a deep crater that set off car alarms from the resulting shockwave.

The mutant tried to pull himself but was stopped when Gohan, flying at his top speed, hit him with a gigantic punch directly in the face that created an even deeper crater that almost engulfed a building.

The monster only turned back to him with a growl and prepared to move again.

"What does it take to get you down?" Asked the Saiyan as he hopped off of the monsters face and onto his chest.

Gohan prepared a ball of energy and began to scream as he filled it with power and aimed at the chest. Concentrating hard he screamed, "Hayabusa*-Breaker!" And a pillar of dark red energy filled the crater that reached to the sky. The city was filled with light as well as the echo of the scream of a Saiyan for one whole minute before the residual energy died down.

[Stop BGM]

The attack had required Gohan's full attention, but he had managed to prevent the blast from damaging the Earth and concentrated it upon the thug's body. When the smoke cleared the criminal was revealed to be normal again and breathing heavily as well as covered in many bruises and burns.

Gohan panted himself and figured that the effects of the serum were either temporary or had been used up when the thug tried to survive Gohan's new attack.

Collecting some decent stamina, the hero noticed that a crowd had gathered and police sirens were in the distance. Deciding now was the best time to leave, Saiyaman blasted off and left the thug for police to deal with.

He now had to face a far greater challenge: his mother.


In the office of Police Chief Furry, the canine was fuming to say the least. He threw various memorabilia at the windows as he ranted and Videl sat in the chair in front of his desk as he ranted.

"Billions! I tell you! Billions of Zeni to fix all that damage! We have no idea who sold or created the steroid and our only lead is currently in the emergency ward of the hospital for the next week, along with thirteen others! It's a miracle no one got killed!" The chief held his heads in his hands as he vented, "Worst of all, we can't charge Saiyaman for any of this because of his popularity, and we have no idea who the hell he is!"

"Umm… sir?" Asked Videl as the chief panted and responded with a grunt, "Why am I here? I'm certain that he is way out of my league, so I don't know what I can do to help."

The chief sighed and collected himself, "It's simple really: I want you to find out who he is."

"What!?" Asked the shocked heroine, "What makes you think I would have any more luck than you would?"

"Simple really: he likes you. During all of our encounters, he's insulted or belittled everyone but you. This gives you an advantage."

"So what?" Asked Videl slightly offended at what the chief was getting at, "You want me to pretend to like him? Well I don't! He's mysterious and all that, but he's also a jerk."

"Woah, woah! Calm down. I'm not asking you to fall in love with him, just find out who he is, or at least ask him to stop with all the property damage just to make an entrance. Besides, I've seen how you look at him sometimes." Teased the dog.

The female grumbled a few choice words before saying, "Fine. I'll try and get some time with him. But I won't like it."


Up on Kami's Lookout, the Namekian warrior known as Piccolo meditated near the edge to clear his mind and watch things unfold, looking for any more signs of danger, "Darn you Gohan. Stealing all the fun." Murmured the warrior with a smirk.

"Piccolo!"Yelled the Earth's guardian as he ran up to Piccolo and panted. The warrior had begun to train Dende in case of emergencies, so he knew the guardian was not panting from lack of stamina, but from panic.

"What is it Dende? What's wrong?" Asked the green skinned warrior as he stood up.

"Yemma! He… he wants to see you!" Spoke the guardian.

Piccolo nodded and concentrated, trying to pass between worlds. A technique he had learned from Kami's memories. In an instant Piccolo found himself in front of the desk of the gigantic red ogre King Yemma.

"What is it?" Asked the Namekian rudely.

"Piccolo! Thank goodness you're here! For some reason I can't reach Goku, or King Kai! I need your help with something."

Piccolo nodded expectantly and Yemma created a screen with his magic with footage of a golden haired warrior cackling and destroying everything in his sight.

"Raditz!" Asked a shocked Piccolo and Yemma nodded.

"He achieved that form yesterday and has been destroying everything! I don't know why, but all communications to the most powerful fighters in Otherworld are off. Can you handle him?"

The Namekian grinned as he took off his weighted cloak and turban, "Which way to HFIL?"


A/N: And that is chapter four! I hope I did good in the battle scene and I would like some feedback on it.

Now for a little explaining:

Hayabusa is Japanese for falcon, and I got the idea from another fic where Vegeta had an attack based on his 'Spirit Animal'. In basic terms, this is Gohan's Dragon Fist.

Q&A

Q: I wouldn't call Gohan an antihero if he's helping people for any reason besides the fact that it helps him but it is an interesting take on the hero thing. Mind you, his entire look and attitude comes off as a cross between Batman, a cowboy and Hollow Ichigo.

A: Gohan is very much anti-hero. Anti-heroes do what they want, how they want, when they want to. For example, if Gohan wants to punch someone in the face, he'll do it.

His reasons relate more to his attitude and they are somewhat selfish, but I'll get to that later.

His attitude is Batman on a very, very bad day and the mask is Ichigo, but the outfit is from a Batman villain called Hush.

Q: and was Gohan's self reflection about him becoming Saiyaman or about him deciding about his own future like not going along with his mothers plan and choosing his own future (which would probably involve him focusing on his training and protecting everyone when life threatening situations arise).

A: Gohan's self reflection was more about him deciding how he had to act as Saiyaman: He had to be worse than those he fought to make them never do evil again. But there was also a sense of responsibility for deciding to receive something special… but you'll have to wait and see what that was.

Till next time, please review!
