Demeter Fenir here and trying to be a bit more active for my readers. Truly sorry about that, Everyone. Anyway, Gohan and Videl got physical on the last chapter but will that hurt them more then help them?
Gohan awoke to the most beautiful feeling, smells, and sight then he could have ever dream of. He was in Videl's bed with her snuggled up to his chest. He couldn't help but smile wide as the images and feelings of last night rushed to the forefront of his mind.
All of it was broken when suddenly Videl jumped up; eyes wide and full of fear. " Oh Damn it! I gotta get ready to catch my plane to London!" She jumped out of the bed and began to run around the apartment frantically. " Put on your boxers and help me, damn it!"
Gohan followed the command given with a sad look on his face, but when Videl stopped her actions and forced him into a kiss all was forgiven. " What was that for?"
" For not marking me last night." She explained as she started to continue her work.. " Don't go thinking we're dating or anything, Gohan Son! Last night was just a goodbye of sorts."
" I know, I know...married to the job and all that." Gohan sighed as he packed her last suitcase. " You have my email still, right?"
" Yes, I'll keep in touch as much as I can." Videl replied before hugging him and rushing out the door.
Gohan stood there for a small amount of time before picking up his clothes and heading for his own apartment. He had mixed feelings about all of this, but today he had a job to do and the sooner he got into costume, the better.
~ Downtown, Hercule City ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Knight sat on top a pole with his arms crossed and his cane neatly hooked onto his back. Today he would assume the role of Robin Hood, except he wasn't giving any of the spoils away to anyone in need.
What he really wanted to be doing was going after Videl in the streets of London, but first he had to make sure that these small fries got the message that Videl's Time, as well as this city, was his stomping grounds.
With a cat-like leap, he jumped from his post to the top of the bank's roof to wait for his prey. As he scanned the area; he noticed all the small petty thefts that were happening on the street: people were being mugged and shot at, cars were being stolen, and stores were being robbed. Did he really cause this mess? Did his ancestors experience the same thing too?
Knight focused on his last thought. Did they? He could barely recall a similar story but...his mind was in a fog. He needed help with that tell.
" Artemis. Demeter."
" What's up, Knight?" Demeter asked; her voice coming from the small speaker in his ear.
" I need you to look in the book for a story. It should tell of a time of a large outbreak in crimes and how my ancestor stopped it."
" Well, that's kinda vague, but I'll give it a look at." Demi sighed as she cut the connection.
It wasn't long before a large group of men started to make their way to the bank. Knight smirked to himself as he jumped down from the roof and in front of the steps and the shocked group. " Well, well. What do we have here? A raiding party?" Knight taunted.
" So's you musta be Knight." The largest male spoke with a slur. He was very large in size and in height. His hair was gelled into spikes and he carried a large gun, most likely a rifle. " Glad ta finally meets'cha."
" Seems like everyone knows me." Knight chuckled. He was pleasantly surprised by the large guy's polite manner.
" Yeah, wells. You's a legend ta us small timers." The man chuckles. " This me gang here and we's were goin ta rob tat bank. Wot's you doin here?"
" Just sight seeing." Knight smirked as an idea formed in his head.
" Knight! I found the story! You're Great great great...forever ago uncle hung a man in the center of town. I don't think that's going to be any help to you. Sorry." Demeter reported before leaving again.
Knight would have been nervous at this information, but he had this under control if he played his cards right. " I don't think I caught your name."
" The name's Daemon!" Daemon spoke as he puffed out his chest in pride.
" Daemon...I like it. What's a big man like you stealing for anyway?" Knight asked as he shifted his footing for a more relaxed stance. He felt more at ease now that he knew the man was friendly and they had all lowered their guns and weapons.
" I like ta challenge of it; ta thrill. Tat and ta money's good!" Daemon laughed. " why you's askin?"
" Since this crime wave hit; I haven't been able to play with the lovely Videl. I'm here to try and...settle things down." knight eyed the man to see if he had hit a nerve, but it seemed that the large male understood his dilemma.
" Ahhh. Videl's your girlie, huh?" Daemon chuckled again. " How you's plannin on stoppin all these peoples though?" Daemon then stepped forwards and smirked. " You's got a plan...right?"
" I was hoping I could offer you and your gang a deal."
~* I hope he plays along with this or things might not be so easy on me.*~ Knight thought as he watched Daemon think it over.
" I'm listenin."
" We all know that the police are underfunded and underemployed; I was hoping you could help them out."
" And why woulds I do tat?" Daemon growled.
" Because I'll pay you greatly and you get to have the trill of catching bad people all within the laws limits. Think about it; paid vacations, a steady job with good money, a company car, discounts, and you even get to go on highspeed chases and caught all these no talents." Knight smirked as he saw the groups reactions.
~* Hook, line, and sinker.*~
" Alright...my old man was a cop and so was his old man...maybe it runs in ta family. Who we's gotta talk ta to seal ta deal?" Daemon asked as he placed the gun on his back.
" There's a cop named Buns. He'll be your leader and commander officer. Tell him you want to sign up and then tell him I said to clean this town up and not let a single man go." Knight then handed daemon a capsule. " This contains half a million zeni in it. I know you might be thinking that this bank holds more but it's empty. Trust me, you got a good deal. Thief's Honor." Knight smirked as he then threw a smoke bomb and disappeared.
" What now, Boss?" A henchman asked.
" Didn't you hear the man? We's workin for ta cop's now! Let's get movin! On ta double!"
~ Police Office ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Buns was at his desk working and filing papers. The papers weren't his, but it seemed that was all the other cops thought he was good for. Only Videl and Knight were nice to him, and the two sisters he would game against on a number of online games. Everyone else thought he was too fat to do any thing worth while in the real world or to good to play against in the virtual world. It just seemed like he couldn't fit in anywhere.
Just then he heard a large bang and yelling suddenly; which had him concerned. It was either Videl and she was pissed, or it was someone wanting to rob them.
" We's here ta see Buns! Where he at?"
" Oh no..." Buns whispered as he heard the unknown man yell his name. He quickly got his gun and took it off safety. By that time the group of intruders entered his office. " Stay Back or I'll use deadly force!"
" Relax, MacBuns! We's here ta apply for jobs under your command, see?" The large man leaned in and whispered. " Your bud Knight sent us here ta help clean up his stompin grounds and get his Videl back. We need jobs and you's need men like us. Deal?"
Buns was shocked! He could only nod and blink for a few moments before shaking his head and snapping out of his daze. Next time he saw Knight, he had to thank him.
~ Gohan's Headquarters ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gohan sighed as he surfed the web for a cheap flight and hotel to London. He knew that he had solved the crime problem for the most part, so felt safe booking a trip to meet Videl and tackle these ' Untamables'. All he needed now was a little information...Maybe Bunsy could help him with that.
" Hey! Don't you two play with Mr. Buns on...whatever that game is?" Gohan called out from his bedroom.
" We're playing now if you wanna ask him something!" Artemis called back.
Gohan scratched the top of his head in thought, but decided to give it a try. He rose up from his bedroom chair and walked into the living room. " He can't trace us?"
" Nope. Demi tried to trace several assholes on here but couldn't; plus, we have a super protection program anyway. Now put this in your ear." Artemis explained as she smashed the buttons on the controller.
Gohan only shrugged and did as told. " Buns? Are you there?"
" Oh my God! Knight? What the Hell is going on." The voice on the speaker gasped.
" Seems like you play with my two teammates." Gohan smirked as he gave the sisters a thumbs up.
" I wanna thank you for sending those guys over to help us out! They even protect me against the other cops when they tease me." Buns laughed. " I guess I should be trying to track you and telling you that you should give up...but me and your team are kicking some noob ass sooooo, yeah. What do you need?"
" I need the files Videl has on that gang so I can be on the same playing field."
" Sorry, she took them all so you couldn't follow her, but I can tell you that she's looking for a guy named Brute. He runs a underground gym and hosts fight clubs and stuff. He also deals in the black market from what I've heard. You should be careful around that guy...he's a real juice head."
" Thanks, Bunsy! Cool detective work!" Gohan smiled at the info he so easily gathered.
" Thanks, now hand me back over to my teammates, will ya?"
" Oh! Sorry!" Gohan quickly gave the headset back to Arty and left the room. This trip was going to be fun after all.
