The three teens were flying over the Northern root of Mt. Paozu. Gohan was the first to speak.
"Hey Mirai? You're a lot younger than the last time we met, why is that?"
"I'm from a different timeline than that Mirai, one extremely similar to your own. So I already know about Gokuu's psychokinesis but I didn't know you had it." He replied surprised.
Lime, who had been playing around up to this point, decided to speak up. "So what are you going to do about Videl?"
"What about her?" Gohan replied.
"She knows that our alter egos have connection to the 439 now, it's only a matter of time before she starts accusing us of withholding information…"
"Oh…right…well I doubt she'll go too far for now, though her mother made a big deal out of us… a~nd then there's Hercule…A~ah, I'll figure something out."
"You have to fix her jetcopter too."
"Yeah, I'm kinda guilt-tripping about that. Well, I tested out some new equipment I developed for CC, might as well give it a field test."
They sped up and headed for Chazkegakure. Ever since Chichi and Bulma learned to sense ki to monitor the two terrors, she worries less about where Gohan is. But she still had her reputation to uphold, which meant she still gets angry.
Xx0o0xX
A short while later, they landed outside Gohan's new house.
"Hey mom!" Gohan called out.
Chichi came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on a dish cloth. "Hello son, how was school?"
"Well…you know…"
Chichi noticed someone moving outside the door. "Oh, hey Trunks." She greeted warmly, "I heard from Bulma that you were back."
"Hi Chichi, good to see you too." Mirai replied.
Gohan was looking around the house, searching for his father. Sensing him in the small lad in the backyard, he made his way out side.
"HEY, NI~I-CHA~AN!" came a high pitched voice. Gohan felt something slam into his back at a high speed, knocking him to the ground. Looking back, he saw his brother sitting on him.
"Hey buddy. What've you been up to?"
"I helped mama in the garden this morning!" Goten replied cheerfully, then frown, "But she got angry when a dug up one of the trees…but I put it back!"
"Heh, is that so?" Gohan asked, picking himself off of the ground, "Sis is inside…oh, and so is Trunks' big brother."
"REALLY?!" Goten started to fidget a bit, "I wanna see! I wanna see!" He took off full speed into the house. Gohan chuckled and continued on to the lab, which was in a small clearing in the woods behind the house. The lad had the standard capsule building shape, except that it extended deep underground and into the mountain.
Using IT, he located his father and made the jump into the lab. "Hey, Old man." Gohan called out in monotony, tossing is satchel into one of the chairs nearby. Gokuu was sitting at a table with a various tools and scientific instruments spread out on its top.
"I heard Mirai Trunks came back, how was school?" Gokuu asked, briefly looking up from the KVM.
"Ah, just those assholes with the KVM's causing trouble…again."
Gokuu chuckled. "Such is the human race. By the way, how's that Videl girl?"
Gohan tilted his head and sent a questioning glace.
"I could hear your sister complaining…even down here. Something about city girls trying to take what doesn't belong to them." Gokuu chuckled.
Gohan laughed. "I think she was talking about the hormonal girls holding onto me. But yeah, Videl can be a little nosy, but she's a good girl. Real fiery…" he lowered his voice and blush slightly, "pretty cute too."
"You see? Getting along with other women will get you into trouble." Gokuu said pointedly
"Just great." Gohan sighed, "I can't deal with the female jealousy thing."
"Well, how would you feel if your first friend started getting close to someone else?"
Gohan wave off-handedly, "I know, but me and Videl aren't like that-"
"Yet? You didn't hide your thoughts very well when she touched you this afternoon."
"Please don't tell her that. She was already pissed about me getting my face burnt off. And of course, Rapid Regen did no good for me."
"That's because you used it in a higher energy state, so it suck your base form dry to complete the process. In fact, you'll feel drunk more than anything." Gokuu replied.
Gohan sighed and leaned back in the chair, deciding to take a nap before his mother realized he was slacking.

In the middle of the of Satan City's upper class residential area, Videl lay on her bed inside her parents' enormous mansion…well, her father's anyway. Hercule insisted that they move out of their previous three bedroom home to this mansion after the Cell Games, complete with cleaning staff, the help and a gardening team. Of course, Tsana refused out right, not wanting to expose her daughter to anymore media attention than she was already going to be. But in the end, Hercule won.
Videl traced out insignia that was engraved into the base of the knife Gohan had given her. He was strange, to say the least. He kept his composure in situations most adults couldn't: that was, being roasted alive by her father. He was more mature than any other boy she'd met, yet he was still very childish when interacting with his sister. Not to mention his psychic abilities.
Erasa lay on another portion of the Double Queen sized bed. "So…"
"So…what?" the black haired crime fighter urged.
Erasa sat up and put on a devious smile, one Videl knew never meant any good for her.
"What do you think of Gohan?" she asked, propping up her chin with her hands. She giggled as a deep red stains her best friend's cheeks.
"W-what about him?" She stuttered, "He's strange, suspicious and-"
"Hot?" The blonde inquired suggestively. She didn't need an answer, because Videl's deepened even further.
Before Videl could deny it, her thoughts wandered to his appearance. He was cute, drop dead gorgeous even, and it didn't vexed her to know that that smile of his could make her melt. She blushed even harder as his smile crept back into mind.
"I bet his skin is soft." Erasa said, "He doesn't let a lot of people touch him."
"It was soft," she replied absent-mindedly, not realizing she'd fallen into her friend's trap.
"When will you confess to him?"
This snapped Videl out of her dream-like state, she sat up straight on the bed. "Confess?! Confess what?! I don't like him, Erasa!"
"Yeah, you do." The blonde said confidently. "He can fight too, your mom likes him so that's gotta be worth something, right?"
Videl lay back down and turned away from her friend, "We're not like that…" she lamented, 'We can't be, thanks to Daddy's stupid rule.'
"Well you don't seem to mind his nic-name for you 'Blue-eyes'." Erasa giggled as her friend grimace, "You hated when boys tried to hit on you like that."
"Yeah," she replied, then tried to defend herself, "but, Gohan isn't hitting on me."
Erasa marvelled at the shorter girl's stubbornness, but before she could say anymore, Videl cut her off. "You came here asking me about Guardian. How you manage to bring up Gohan?"
"Just needed some confirmation on something." Erasa pouted, "Anyways, what do you have so far?"
Videl hopped off the bed and woke up the computer, "Well, I know he's part of the Garrison. I looked up a list of all their active soldiers in this region, but I don't know his real name. But I think Lime knows, Gohan probably won't say anything."
"Did you check the Minotaur Royal Guard?" Erasa asked, but Videl shook her head.
"That part of the Garrison only guards the Royalty of the word, like King Fury, the Ox King and Queen Vixen." She said, "The whole Garrison is a global army. Gohan was right too, there is a firestorm online about why my father got rid of the ones in Satan City."
"So not much of a lead, huh?"
"Nope. But he did have this glowing belt thing around his waist."
Erasa jumped off the bed and walked over to the door, "I have to go home now. Good luck with your search V!"
Videl waved and leaned back in the computer chair. Her mind went back to what Kem said, that Gohan's father killed his grandfather. Gohan seemed to know who he was talking about, but just shrugged it off. He also suggested that Gohan was deceiving Lime, which made sense to her, not even real sibling had that kind of relationship. On top of that, for the past two days she'd been hearing some of the other girls say it was just a made up story; that Lime was actually with him for her own benefit.
She'd have to do her own research. Sighing, she sheathed the knife and proceeded outside to practice with it, she needed more on those two before she could put anything together, and now she had that Mirai to deal with.
Xx0o0xX
Two months flew by and our three teens had become part of Videl's group and got along well with all of them…well, except for Kemaru, who insisted on fighting with Gohan…not that the latter had any problem with it.
Videl had had to deal with more encounters with the super-powered members of the Red Shark Gang and their mysterious female fighter. Whenever they were around, Guardian or his friend were also there, but much to their frustration, she evaded them each time.
They usually didn't appear at the same time. The city had dubbed the silver fighter 'Angel', and it was very rare that either of the two would show up unless it was a life and death situation. Of course this meant that she had to drop her suspicions on Gohan and Lime, since Guardian or Angel sometimes stopped crime long before the police even got to call her. However, that was just the two demis placing post hypnotic suggestions on the class when one of them suck out, it would be stupid to use a lame excuse like going to the bathroom.
Since Videl's jetcopter was still busted, and she couldn't get the money to fix it, the teen had to hitch a ride with Chief back to school.
Xx0o0xX
Gohan was free falling above the city, mumbling to himself. "That's the fifth time she's tried to blow off my face! No human is supposed to be that powerful! Well, excepting the Z-Senshi…"
He landed on a building a block away and jumped into the alley below. Deactivating the Mk V, he sprinted to school to meet Lime and his remaining friends. Just outside the school gate, he met up with Videl who arrived a lot faster than he expected. Unfortunately, he was still pissed about his face. She smiled when she saw him.
"Hey, Gohan!" She frowned suddenly, "You don't look too good."
"Of course NOT!" He said, throwing his hands up, "I've been dodging careless pedestrians all morning! And stray explosions don't make it any easier! What's up with this city?! Crime so early in the morning!" Chief, who was driving found his rant amusing.
"Cheer up Gohan." Videl piped up slapping him on the back, "At least you didn't take on to the face."
Chief snorted and tried to keep his laughter in check, knowing fully well who she was alking about.
'This time.' Gohan thought.
The two teens casually walked into homeroom, the teacher surprised that Gohan had actually managed to come to school early. The class however was watching them intently. Gohan was wearing a lacquer black high-collared jacket with golden Z seal on the back. Gold trims lined all the edges. He work a grey jeans and a red T-shirt. He'd also changed his boot {A/N: to the ones Mirai and God Gokuu wear}. They also noticed a furry belt around his waist.
Lime walked in just as Gohan reached his seat. She wore a winter camo skirt with black knee length tights, with a black belt hanging loosely off her waist and a light grey, three-quart sleeve blouse with only the second to fourth buttons done. She took her place next to Gohan and greeted her friend. Erasa immediately started to talk.
"You look nice today, Gohan." Indicating to his new jacket.
He nodded in reply.
"So Gohan," Videl started. Gohan, who was leaning back in his chair, looked over at her. "What happened to the old one?"
He pointed at his sister, who flushed with embarrassment.
"I kinda blew it up?" She said. Mirai stifled his laughter.
Sharpner blinked, "…How…?"
"Working on one of my father's new prototypes." She said, "Put in too much power-"
"I was the only one blown up." Gohan interrupted, "Only me. Half the house went up in flames. Still only me."
"I feel sorry for you." Videl said, looking back at him.
"Don't be." Kem said disgruntled, "It's not like he died."
"Hmph." Gohan scorned, "I don't need to deal with your shit this morning."
He turned his full attention to Videl, "Anyways, like I said it would, the Ox King is re-establishing the Garrison's presence in this city before he steps down. So~o…I got this one branded. You'll see the ruckus it causes on tonight's news, because I was walking around in it for the whole morning."
"A good boy always does what he's told." She acclaimed. Mirai choked again.
Gohan folded his arms and leaned forward, smirking. "You won't be laughing when she starts with you." He then changed his to a more cheerful one, "But I'm sure that'll balance out…what with the add benefits, hehe."
Mirai and Lime blushed and Lime slapped his arm, Gohan smile grew even wider.
Videl watched on, slightly jealous. The three of them had a better relationship than Videl and her three friends. Even though they were opening up to Videl's group, they were still withdrawn. 'Surely, there has to be something under the surface.'
She continued to glare jealously as Gohan pulled Lime closer and started to ruffle her short spiky hair while she was trying to resist giggling all the while. Of course, Videl's glaring at the girl didn't go unnoticed by Erasa, who made a mental note to confirm something at lunch.
Just then, the teacher walked in and the two stopped their rough-housing. The lessons went as they had for the entire week; Erasa whispering to Sharpener about something, either Gohan or Lime being asleep while the other was dead bored, Kemaru diligently taking notes and Videl glaring at the three hybrids.
Xx0o0xX
It was Gohan's turn to be awake. He was leaning back in his chair, watching Lime sleep. Occasionally, he would cast a glance over at Videl. He knew she had potential, most adult humans had a power level of anyway between 5 and 10 killi, yet at her current level, Videl's was around 100 which surprised him quite a bit.
Gohan put his hands behind his head and surveyed her. Gohan had seen her figure when Bulma was conducting the fitness evaluations with CC's equipment, lean limbs and a toned stomach. He didn't know why she hid her body.
Videl leaned back and stretched, Gohan couldn't help but noticed that her chest was bigger than what was normally let on, due to her baggy shirt. Gohan blushed furiously when he realized he was staring. He heard Lime snicker through their link, she was probably seeing through his eyes.
** Keep quiet. ** He hissed, ** Unless you want me to start on you and Mirai. **
** S-Screw you! ** she stuttered, but she regained her composer ** … Or is that for Videl only? **
Gohan blushed again, this time Videl noticed. "Hey Gohan, feeling alright?"
Shaking off the blushed, he turned to her and smiled. Not his usual grin, Videl couldn't help but find it sexy, she felt her face becoming hot, and she smiled back. Again, Erasa just so happened to 'accidentally'notice.
Xx0o0xX
The bell for lunch sounded and Erasa grabbed Gohan and hurried outside. Fearing for her brother's sanity , Lime pulled Mirai after her by the back of his jacket while the others followed.
After catching up and sitting down beneath the tree, Sharpener was first to speak. "So what's the big idea dragging Brains out here full speed?" Videl was also curious.
"Well," she started, "if I didn't the three of them would've run up to the roof. And then we'd start to argue about going up after them because of him." She finished pointing at Kemaru
"I already told you," he said angrily, "I don't to be around that guy! I'm only here because Videl is."
"Hmph! Such weaklings such as yourself have no right being around superior being such as myself!"
Lime and Mirai made no attempted to hide their laughter, Kemaru growled at him.
"If I remember correctly, you were told to behave father." Mirai said, Lime giggled madly.
"Pipe down brat! I am the Prince of all Saiyans! I'd rather be spending time with Kakarot and his brats than this low level fool."
Gohan saw Videl holding back Kemaru, so he laided back in Lime's lap. Said girl sent a sharp glare to the attacking boy. Gohan scoffed and relaxed.
"Vegeta would be proud." Lime stated
"Yeah, but mom would have a heart attack."
Videl couldn't help but feel jealous. 'Dammit, I want to get to know them better.'
Erasa piped up. "What kind of name is Vegeta?"
:: A siayan name. :: Gohan stated
"What's a saiyan?" Videl asked.
"An alien from planet Vegeta." Lime said nonchalantly.
Sharpner scoffed. "Well that's original." He said sarcastically, "What, so you're aliens?"
"Half, get it right."
"Are you sure you guys aren't dating?" She asked suspiciously, "You sure act like it!"
"And you and Sharpener don't." GL said bluntly. Erasa blushed and Sharpener choked on his food.
"How?! Wha- When…?!" Sharpener sputtered
"Did we find out?" Gohan finished Sharpener's sentence, "Since Erasa stopped calling me cutie, she switched seats with Videl. All on the second day of school…oh and I have very good hearing, whispering isn't even a challenge."
Videl looked over at her two friends. "When were you going to tell me?!" She demanded.
"I'll tell you later, but don't change the subject!" Erasa retorted, then turned to Gohan, "Now answer."
Lime sighed and leaned back. "Must we go over this again?" Erasa nodded. "Okay, listen. Gohan and I became like twins after an incident some years ago…"
"What incident?" Videl inquired, but it was more like a demand.
"I'll tell you." He said, "Later."
"If we said anything more, Videl would start to act up." Lime said with a smirk. Videl pouted and crossed her arms, inadvertently pushing up her chest. Gohan again had to stop himself from staring.
Xx0o0xX
Some distance away, a red haired girl was watching Gohan lustfully. She sat with her friends watching our teens interact with each other.
"Gohan looks so sexy in that new jacket." Angela said.
"I'm sure he'd have more fun with us if he weren't hanging out with miss tight-ass, Videl." An underclassman said.
"And that Erasa stopped talking to us." Said another upperclassman, "Dumb bitch!"
Another underclassman named Mint, remembered what Erasa told her about her group of friends last year spoke up. "Well some of you girls just date guys just to sleep with them…And you did say that you wanted to sleep with him-"
"Shut up, Mint!" Angela hissed, "Look!"
The other girls, looked over just in time to see Lime put Gohan put in a headlock and roll over on top of him.
"That little slut!" Angela screeched. Mint face palmed.
'Didn't she hear what I said? It not like any of you are any different.' She thought.
Mint took this time to walk off and leave the other girls staring and gritting their teeth. Yes, she did have a crush on Gohan, but she'd at least make friends with him and not sleep with him, at least until she was legal.
The bell sounded and all the teens of OSH rushed to their next class, for our teens it was Gym then History.
Xx0o0xX
10 Hours Before
Far out into space, a former Trade Federation ship was cruising passed Namek Sei. Their five beings inside were from a long dead race.
"SIR, 5 HRS 30 MINS TO THE OUTER RIM." The AI said.
A familiar face was at the controls. "Good. Continue at the current speed. When we've passed Namek, start plotting a course for Earth Sei…Use the Hyperspace Jump Gate…"
"YES SIR."
He walked out of the bridge and into his quarters. He noticed his partner sleeping, the sheet wrapped loosely around parts of her naked body. He lightly stroked her hair, and lay down next to her, he felt sleep creep up on him."
"Soon…"
