~Saiyaman Saga~
Chapter 9 – Conclusion
"I am the protector of this city. I will not back down! For all the innocence you threaten, I will not forgive you!" Slouching forward, Gohan opened the flood gates. His white aurora slowly changed to gold. His eye that was visible due to the missing piece of visor of his helmet turning blueish green. Gohan's body then few open, his back arching back and his arms flailing out. His helmet broke apart, disintegrating under the power as his golden hair spiked up while his red cape broke free from his back and fell to the ground.
Videl ran to the end of the ally and looked up, only to step back in shock. Saiyaman is the golden fighter?
Videl's eyes widened. Wait...
~Flashback to Videl during Cell games~
Sharpner, Erasa, and Videl had been watching the the introduction to the Cell Games at her house. In shock, they watched as Mr Satan challenged the evil Cell only to be tossed away like a wet tissue.
Sharpner stuttered. "H-how is it possible? He's the best the earth has! We're all doomed!"
Erasa shook the boy next to her. "Hold it together, we still can put our hope in all those mystery fighters that flew up."
"No! We're doomed! We-" With a rather loud thud, Sharpner fell to the ground limp as Videl sighed rubbing her fist. "His head sure is thick."
Erasa turned to Videl. "Y-you think we still got a chance, right?"
Videl turned to the tv and watched. "I...I'm not sure. My papa was the best...but anything's possible."
Just then the camera man panned the group of mystery fighters. Videl noticed a tall man that looked very familiar and a smaller version of himself standing next to them, both having golden hair.
Erasa giggled. "The short blond kid is kinda cute!"
Videl rolled her eyes. "We just have to have hope these guys can last till my dad feels better."
Goku then stepped forward, the next to fight. Videl squinted at the tv, wishing she could get some better reception. "Gah, this thing keeps blurring out!" Walking over, she started to hit the tv.
Erasa pleaded. "I don't think it's the tv. I just think it's the fighting."
"You think so?" Videl walked over and sat back down. "Did they say the name of this guy yet?"
Erasa shook her head. "I don't think the reporter guy knows."
Videl sighed. "Not a very good reporter. These guys sure are mysterious though. Who'd a thought so many people would have the guts to come fight?"
Erasa shivered. "Not me, that creepy Cell guys just gives me the shivers."
Videl balled her hands into fists. "If I could help, I'd be there...but I'd only get in papa's way..."
"Man, you sure are brave Videl." Erasa smiled weakly back, Videl doing the same.
They watched as Goku fought, Videl still couldn't shake the feeling that she knew him from somewhere. The fight itself though, it was something else. Both Goku and Cell were moving insanely fast and were shooting balls of light at each other and then rush in throwing volleys of punches and kicks.
And then it happened, Goku warp ka-me-ha-me-ha-ed and blew the top half of Cell off, the legs falling limp to the ground. Videl and Erasa looked at the screen wide eyed and at the edge of their seat. "H-he won!"
Videl nodded slowly, trying to figure out how the man had pulled such a feat. But before the celebration could start, the monster Cell sprouted a new head! Both the girls gave out a shriek. "H-how is that possible Videl?"
Videl could only shake her head. It shouldn't be possible, what is he?
After a few words exchanged by the fighters, the hero looked to the side where the others were and yelled something. The other mystery fighters stepped back in shock at whatever he had said. After a few more words, the other blond boy who looked like the last fighters son flew down and stood in front of Cell.
Erasa squeaked. "That kids our age, and he's gonna go up against Cell?"
Videl was still on the edge of her seat, studying the boys face. The announcer forever dubbed him the Delivery Boy...
~End Flashback~
It all was coming back to her now. The golden fighter had been described as a boy her age, and had golden hair, just like the kid from seven years ago. The golden fighter was the delivery boy from the Cell Games! A..amazing, Saiyaman was really the delivery boy all along...wait...
~Flashback to Videl's trip to OtherWorld~
Goku whined, "It's been seven years King Kai. I said I was sorry so many times!" Goku flailed his arms in wild motions to emphasize just how many times he had said it.
Videl thought for a moment. "Seven years ago...is that when you died Goku? During the time before the Cell games?"
Goku nodded. "I died trying to save everyone from Cell in his tournament."
Goku...Gohan..and both with the last name Son. I didn't think it was possible...but... "G-gohan's your son?"
Goku nodded as if it were obvious.
~End Flashback~
Videl eyes somehow got even wider as she fell backwards, here eyes fixed on the golden man hovering above her. That man from the Cell Games was Goku! I knew I recognized him! How could I have forgotten...and his kid...the delivery boy...the golden fighter...Saiyaman...Gohan?
Gohan finished his transformation to Super Saiyan, his golden aurora wrapping around him giving him a distinct glow. His eyes locked onto Dino. The mob man had not moved during the entire thing, his grin had shrunk some, but was still there. "Is the light show over? I thought I was going to go blind for a second."
Gohan didn't make a comment back. He was tired of his friends being in danger because of him. Gritting his teeth, he slowly floated towards Dino. Dino laughed, "Has that blond hair sucked all your intelligence?" Dino shot forward launching a flurry of punches and kicks. Every one of them hit, but Gohan only kept floating forward. Dino flew back and growled. "At least I finally get to see your ugly mug. Just some young punk, huh?"
Gohan only keep floating forward. Dino's grin disappeared all together now. "Tch, just die!" Holding both his hands together, an energy ball grew. Giving a battle cry, the ball shot towards Gohan. Gohan held up his right hand, and at the last second chopped the ball. The ball split in half and went on either side of Gohan, exploding in the background. Videl, who had been directly behind Gohan, was safe in the middle of the explosions.
Dino flew back further now, putting more distance between the two fighters. Gritting his teeth, Dino started launching a volley of energy blasts at Gohan. Gohan disappeared into the cloud of smoke that resulted. Dino keep shooting into the smoke cloud hopping he was hitting something. Gohan shot out of the cloud of smoke, still getting hit by the energy balls but not caring, and landed a solid punch to Dino's stomach. Dino wailed out in pain, falling over Gohan's punch. Gohan then pulled his punch back and thrust his knee into the same spot he hit before. Dino coughed up blood this time, just holding onto his consciousness. As Dino floated up from getting hit by Gohan's knee, Gohan twisted bringing his foot up and slamming it into Dino's stomach. Dino few up into the air, only regaining composure after he was high above the City.

The scouter had gone off for Gohan again. Bulma quick picked it up and put it on, finding that he was once again fighting in Satan City. Running to the nearest tv, Bulma turned it to Satan City news channels. Finally finding one, she sat down and listened, hopping that Gohan was ok.
A reporter was huddled behind a pile of rubble, talking into the camera as explosions rocked in the background. "As you can see, Satan city is a war zone. Rumors are going around that the police tried to arrest Dino, the leader of Nail Industries, on ties that he had something to do with the Red Rain army."
Bulma huffed. I knew there was something wrong about that guy. The reporter continued. "Videl and the Great Saiyaman lead the police in the attempts at arrest when a fight broke out, causing the damage you see behind me."
Did Gohan do all that by himself? Nah, he wouldn't go crazy like that...so can his enemy use energy waves too? Strange, I can't pick up anything on my scouter.
An explosion then rocked the area where the reporter was. Just then, Gohan's power level spiked. Bulma stood up. He needed to go super saiyan? What's he fighting out there?
-DBZ-
Dino couldn't understand it, but he was losing. He brought his hands in front of him, and the wires in his suit started to light up. The energy ball started to grow, and it just kept growing. The wires on Dino were starting to smoke. But he knew he had no choice. "All right Saiyaman! All or nothing, let's end this!"
Gohan let himself fall to the ground, landing softly. "Fine by me." Dropping into a fighting stance, Gohan put both of his hands to his right behind him. "Ka...me...ha...me..."
Dino's energy ball was about the size of a small car now, ghostly white electricity was dancing around the ball, giving it a truly evil look. "Time to die Saiyaman!" Pumping the last of his suit's energy into his attack, he grinned. Suddenly the man turned away from Gohan and pointed the ball down towards the City below him.
Gohan swore under his breath. No time, hope this works! "HAAA!" He thrust both of his hands forward, sending the energy beam towards the menacing looking energy bomb, aiming just below it.
Dino thrust his bomb down just as the Kamehameha wave was going to pass it, causing the bomb to hit Gohan's energy wave. The two energies collided with each other, the Kamehameha pushing the bomb up into the atmosphere where it exploded harmlessly.
Gohan sided, watching as Dino harmlessly fell to the ground, falling to a knee. He could hear him breathing heavily. Apparently the technology did take a tole on the body.
As Gohan started to walk towards Dino, Dino turned reveling a small pistol and fired at Saiyaman. Gohan caught the bullet and then dropped it for effect. Dino fired again, but Gohan swatted it harmlessly to the ground this time. Dino's eyes were white, but he fired the gun yet again. Gohan caught it again, and then flicked it back towards Dino, hitting the gun out of his hand. Dino passed out completely after the gun was hit away, falling to the ground limp.
Videl peeked around the corner of the ruble she was by, watching as the gold fighter slowly powered down. Sure enough, it was Gohan's hair style, black and spiky. Slowly working up the bravery she stepped outside into the street, and started walking towards him.
Gohan slowly leaned down over Dino and pulled off the gloves and boots the man had on. He looked at them for a while. To think these things could push me so far as super saiyan. Maybe Vegeta was right, I have been training, but nothing like I did in the old days.
With two quick energy balls from both hands, the technology was destroyed in an instant. Standing back up, he turned to be face to face with Videl. Sh-shit she scared me. Man, and she says I'm sneaky. "M-miss Videl! It's good to see you ok."
Videl blinked. He hasn't realized that he doesn't have his helmet on? "Same goes for you. But what should I call you now?" A glare spread across her face.
Gohan swore under his breath. She must have seen some difference in me after I transformed into super saiyan. "Uh...w-what do you mean Miss Videl?"
Videl waked up to Gohan till she was very much in his face. "What do I mean? Well, you go by Saiyaman...the Golden fighter..." Gohan swore again under his mouth. "...the Delivery Boy..." At that one, Gohan's eyes started to widen. How did she... "Or maybe simply Gohan. Cause those all are names you've gone by, right Gohan?" Videl pointed a finger at him with a devilish grin on her face replacing the scowl that was there moments before.
Gohan started to step backwards in fear, only to trip over the out cold Dino. "B-but how?" Videl simply answered with a pat on his head. Gohan blinked. She tapped my head...Slowly he reached up to his head himself, searching for a helmet that was no longer there. After realizing that it was gone for real, Gohan started to tremble. Aww man...busted!
Videl looked down at the super hero, a softer smile growing on her face. "To bad I have to take these three losers to the cops, or I'd interrogate the hell out of you." Gohan blinked, looking up. Videl looked up as some of the brave cops and reporters were peaking around corners of streets down the road. "Now get going before I change my mind." I'll talk to you later, Gohan. You'll get yours soon enough. Gohan didn't need to be told twice. Standing up, he gave a Saiyaman solute as he started to take off.
Videl watched him from the ground as he slowly flew out of site. The police and press would be on her soon, asking more and more questions, but she wasn't worried about that right now. Her eyes stayed on the horizon Gohan had just passed as a small blush crossed her face. Gohan huh?...
-DBZ-
Gohan watched Videl as he flew up and away. He couldn't help but be thankful that the whole Red Rain ordeal was now over. I never knew Videl was that good of a fighter, taking those two on all by herself. What a girl.
