Chapter 10: Back to School
Gohan awoke the next morning at about three a.m. got into his training gi and went into his personal Gravity Room and began his regular training regiment. Powering the gravity up to ten thousand times that of earth he powered up into his new form of super saiyan and began to test out the speed capabilities. After twenty minutes he decided to activate his training drones…they emerged from the walls and came in the forms of Frieza, Cell, Vegeta, and his father.
All of them were at the same level of power as Vegeta. They attacked full force forcing Gohan to the defensive being out numbered he was stretching the speed of his new form to the max. Blocking most of the attacks occasionally one or two got through and did little but annoy Gohan to the point where he got tired of the Frieza and Cell bots and Simply destroyed them, The Frieza drone met its end with a fist through it's "Stomach" while the Cell drone met it's end when Gohan broke it in half with his knee. Upon the defeat of the Frieza and Cell drones the remaining drones immediately gained a power boost bringing them up to a power level close to that of Goku, sensing that they might have a chance they attacked again. This time around Gohan was having a lot more difficulty blocking the attacks unfortunately more and more of the attacks got through his defenses. Becoming more agitated by the second Gohan's anger began to build and soon he had had enough he lashed out at the first drone to attack him ironically that would happen to be the Vegeta drone, it threw a punch at Gohan who simply side stepped the attack grabbed its wrist and twisted feeling the metal bend and break in his grasp he flung the drone into the far wall and pummeled it with ki blasts. Ensuring that the "Vegeta" was down Gohan turned his focus towards the remaining drone, the Goku drone felt his power increase to the point where it would rival the power of Gohan in his Super Saiyan three form. Gohan smirked as his mind registered the fact that this robot had become a challenge that he would enjoy very much. The drone dropped into the familiar turtle style stance that Goku used so often and sized up Gohan and realization hit that he might just have a chance to exact his revenge for the death of his "friends".
Charging at Gohan he immediately went on the offensive battering away at his defenses. Realization hit Gohan that this drone was only a mere 20,000 points below him. The saiyan blood in his veins began to boil with the urge of the fight. The drone's aura flared to life and charged at Gohan with a renewed sense of urgency, Gohan's own aura flared to life as he flew to meet the new challenge head on. They met in the center of the gravity room where their fists collided with a thunderous shockwave.
Videl jumped and fell out of bed…looking out the window trying to find the thunder clouds or at least the source of the noise, seeing that the sky was clear and blue confusion set in as to where the noise came from…BOOM!!!!!!! This time the whole house shook, realizing that it came from within in the house from the area where Gohan's training room was located she ran through the house hoping that he was okay and didn't blow anything up. SMACK! As she rounded the corner she ran into what she thought was a solid wall of steel until a strong pair of hands reached down and picked her up. Slightly dazed she followed the arms to their owner and realized that she had run into the back of Goku as he was watching the monitor that Gohan had installed on the side of the room so he could record his training sessions and work on his technique afterwards. After a couple of seconds she realized that not only Goku but also Piccolo and Vegeta were there watching Gohan train as well. Not wanting to feel left out she turned her gaze to the monitor and what she saw there not only surprised her but actually slightly shocked her. It wasn't the handsome care free demi-saiyan that she fell in love with but instead there was a man with shoulder length black hair and red fur covering his upper body except for a spot on his chest he also had on a pair of white fighting pants that she had never seen before. Confusion had set in once again realizing that she couldn't she her Gohan on the screen she tapped Goku on the shoulder getting his attention.
"Umm Goku who is that guy in Gohan's training room?" Goku could hear the confusion in her voice.
"Oh that's Gohan…He reached a new level of super saiyan the other day remember. Guess he couldn't wait to try it out, not that I would do anything different." His voice was so full of pride that even Vegeta smirked at him.
"Like a true saiyan warrior…he is testing his limits to the max. Just look at the power read outs they are giving off."
Videl shifted her gaze down to the bottom of the monitor the drone was putting off a power that was only a mere 20,000 points less than Gohan was putting off.
"Wow he's really going all out huh?" she asked staring at Goku and Vegeta.
Without looking away from the screen Vegeta grunted in disgust. "This is nothing woman you should have seen him three hours ago…he was taking on four opponents at once all of them equal to my power." With a smirk full of pride he continued on "Despite the painful blow to my ego it fills me with pride knowing that he was my student for the last four years." Videl could actually feel the pride radiating off of the saiyan prince.
BOOM!!!!! Another thunderous collision between the two fighters inside the gravity room brought everyone's attention back to the monitor. Luckily the cameras that Gohan installed were capable of following the speeds at which he and his opponent attacked with. Videl shifted her gaze to Gohan's opponent and gasped when she saw a mirror image of Goku except for the metallic skin of course. Another thunderous collision snapper her out of the trance she was in. Just in time for her to see Gohan go flying into the wall followed by the drone…as soon as Gohan hit the drone began to mercilessly pound his fists into Gohan's stomach.
INSIDE THE GRAVITY ROOM
Punch after punch landed in his gut…blood shot out of his mouth as the Goku drone smashed him into the wall like a blood thirsty lunatic. Flaring his aura to life and sending out a wave of ki to push the drone away from him. Gohan launched himself directly at the drone and drove his fist into its face with full force followed by a knee to the gut and an elbow the back of the head as it was dropping to the ground he kicked it up into the air and began to juggle it across the room with various punches and kicks. Eventually after five minutes of that Gohan grew bored in toying with his opponent deciding that he was hungry and wanted breakfast he caught the drone in his grasp and threw it into the wall launching up into the air and powering up he brought an arm above his head.
"MA…SEN…KO…HA!!!!" he threw his hand forward as the beam of pure ki shot towards the fallen drone Gohan noticed that the normally golden colored beam was actually blood red. The drone managed to lift his head up just in time to see the red beam envelope himself…his scream sounded throughout the house as his "life" was ended. Gohan drifted back down to the floor and powered down into his normal state satisfied with his training session.
OUTSIDE WITH VIDEL
"Wow I haven't seen Gohan use that attack in awhile…at least not since Namek." Goku was scratching his chin in thought.
"Kakkarott you fool he hit you with that attack the day he gained the new level…he must have really hit you good either that or you truly are stupid." Vegeta chuckled at the insult that he gave his rival. "But enough about your stupidity Kakkarott did you see the color of that beam?"
"Yeah I'm standing right here why wouldn't I?"
"Kakkarott the beam was red! Masenko-Ha is usually gold!"
"What's your point Vegeta?"
"My point is normally a saiyans ki color doesn't change unless they are in the Oozaru form." Smirking satisfied that he had out done the other saiyan in some way.
"Oh so what your saying is that this new form is kind of like the Oozaru form?" Confusion filled both Goku's voice and his eyes.
"No Kakkarott it isn't…It appears that your son has found the purest form of the Oozaru form."
"Excuse me but what exactly is an Oozaru?!" Videl was glaring between the two of them with her hands on her hips looking very much like Chichi.
"Oozaru is a transformation that saiyans undergo when they still have their tail and there is a full moon." Everyone spun around to the direction of the new voice which turned out to belong to Gohan.
"That was some amazing performance you put on in there son." Patting him on the back Goku beamed the famous Son grin.
"You truly are a saiyan of epic proportions Gohan." Vegeta smirked at his student and walked off heading home.
"I'm proud of you kid…who would have thought that the timid boy I trained eleven years ago would turn out to be the most powerful being in the entire universe." Pride was in Piccolo's voice as he ruffled Gohan's hair.
"Thanks Piccolo couldn't have done it without you."
"Gohan are you okay? That robot looked like it hurt you pretty bad." Videl wrapped her arms around him and squeezed unintentionally.
"Ahh…Videl not so hard I think I either broke some ribs or at least cracked a few." Wincing Gohan placed his arms between her hands and his injured ribs.
"Here Gohan I have a sensu bean here." Piccolo took the bean out of his wristband and tossed it over to Gohan.
"Thanks Mr. Piccolo." Placing the bean in his mouth he began to chew slowly and swallowed immediately feeling his power surge pack into his body.
"Sure is a good thing you had a sensu bean with you Piccolo it sure would be hard for Gohan to go to school with broken ribs." Videl stated as she turned and began to walk towards their bathroom to shower and change, Gohan turned and walked into the kitchen.
"Would you like something for breakfast dad?" he asked as he started placing plates on the table.
"No Gohan I already ate…but I would love to use the training room while you are at school today if it isn't too much trouble?" Goku began stretching to work out the knots in his muscles.
"No problem Dad you should know that you don't have to ask. Just don't blow it up okay?"
"Gohan after that Masenko-ha you fired I'm pretty sure that I couldn't come close to blowing up your gravity room." He flashed a very Vegeta like smirk and headed towards the Gravity room.
As soon as Videl finished her shower and came downstairs Gohan scarfed down his meal and headed for the shower. Five minutes later he came down wearing his favorite outfit, a green muscle shirt with the image of a silver dragon and a white tiger on opposite sides of a ying yang locked in a staring match, black cargo pants and a pair of black and green Nike Shox. Videl of course was wearing her normal outfit. On their way out the door the decided that they would take Videl's copter instead of Gohan's preferred method of travel. They climbed into the copter and headed towards Orange Star High.
"Wow we haven't been to school in a week I hope we haven't fallen behind by too much." Nervousness setting in as the realization that he might be behind in his studies set in on Gohan.
"Where did my strongest-man-in-the-universe-could-stare-death-in-the-eye laugh and beat it senseless go?" she smirked as she stared at the nervous teen.
"No…wouldn't want him hurting Sharpner for checking out my girl now would we?" Gohan had such a serious look on his face that Videl couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You…Just…Sounded…Like…Sharpner." She managed to get out in between laughs.
Not finding it the least bit funny Gohan turned and stared out the window at the ever approaching school. Noticing that his mood had turned sour, Videl stopped laughing and focused her attention on piloting the copter instead. Ten minutes later they landed on the roof of the school. Videl capsulated her copter and turned to walk down the stairs and into the school. Where they were immediately greeted by Erasa and Sharpner, Gohan instinctively placed an around Videl's waist and glared at Sharpner growling slightly.
"Hey! Nerd boy whatcha doin with my girl? You should get your arm off you before I hurt you."
"Sharpner I suggest that you back away and deal with the fact that I am not your girl I am Gohan's or he will introduce you to a level of pain that will be like any other that you have ever felt in your life…yes even worse then what I have ever given you." Videl smirked as Sharpner started to shake, looking into his eyes she saw that he was not looking at her but his eyes were locked into Gohan's. She shifted her gaze into Gohan's eyes and what she saw scared even her…what she saw was not the care free nerd that entered their class with perfect scores instead she found a glare that belonged to the young man that had faced death and snatched victory from its jaws. Gohan let out a small growl causing Sharpner to practically jump out of his skin.
"Ha he wet himself…what a dork I can't believe he thought that he was better than me."
Sharpner fell back on his ass and scrambled up off the floor and sprinted down the hallway tripping over himself and the other students fall down again as he rounded the corner. Erasa looked dumfounded as she watched Sharpner run like a scared animal. Gohan's glare softened as he watched Sharpner fall on his face as he rounded the corner.
"Okay you two let's get to our first class the sooner we get there the sooner we get to go home." She practically skipped down the hallway.
"She's right Del we better get going." He moved his arm from around her waist and placed his hand in hers and began leading her down the hallway.
Class was going as usual when suddenly Videl's watch went off. The watch kept beeping as everyone looked around trying to figure out where it came from. Everyone's gaze shifted to Videl and suddenly it clicked.
"Huh why is everyone staring at me? Oh yeah its my watch its been so long since it's gone off that I forgot it was even there…"
"Videl here what's the problem Chief?"
"There is a bank robbery in progress Videl, they are heavily armed and we can't take them down." Gunshots could be heard in the background and the chief sounded incredibly panicked.
"Right I'll be there…just hold out ten more minutes." She jumped out of her seat and ran out the door. Seeing her leave Gohan immediately shot his hand up.
"SENSEI I HAVE TO USE THE BATHROOM!" He shouted as he ran out the door following the same path that Videl did heading for the roof.
Once on the roof he transformed into super saiyan four making him completely unrecognizable and took off after Videl's ki signature…he easily caught up to her jet copter. Flying up next to it he reached over and knocked on the window catching her attention. She turned to see what exactly was knocking on her window she couldn't help but smile as she locked eyes with Gohan who was beaming the son grin through the window. Reaching over she pressed a button and opened the door so he could ride with her.
"Videl we have a slight problem if I am going to be helping you out I need a different name…Got any ideas?"
She looked him up and down taking in his appearance.
"What did Vegeta say this was the purest form of again?"
"Oozaru, the saiyans ape transformation."
"Then call yourself Oozaruman."
"Thanks but no thanks Videl… how about Great Saiyaman."
"Let's go with just Saiyaman that sounds good."
Gohan nodded and Videl smiled and turned her attention to the windshield seeing the flashing lights from the sky. She guided the copter down to the street and ran up to the police barricade.
"How many are we talking here Chief, six or seven?" slightly out of breath she placed her hands on her knees and started taking deep breaths.
"At least twenty men Ms. Videl and that have military grade rifles." He was clearly scared and shaking slightly.
"Videl you better let me handle this one I'm practically bullet proof." Saiyaman said as he walked calmly towards the bank.
Blinking a couple of times the Chief finally asked "Who was that Videl?"
"Oh that's umm…my sidekick yeah that's right my sidekick his name is Saiyaman and he is unbelievable." She looked incredibly nervous but the chief just passed it off as concern for her friend.
IN THE BANK
"This was so easy I can't believe they call themselves police." Stated one thug as he counted some of the money they had taken.
"You guys should really find respectable jobs and get off the streets."
"And just who are you? The monkey man." Asked another thug pointing his gun at Saiyaman "Whoever you are you've just made a big mistake pal."
"Not as big a mistake as you did by calling me a monkey." Saiyaman's glare was almost as deadly as he himself was. Suddenly he phased out and appeared behind two of the thugs before they could turn around he grabbed each of them by their head and smashed them together. As they crumpled to the ground unconscious he smirked at the remaining thugs. Phasing out he brought down at least three more before the others started shooting at him. Faster than you could blink his hands flashed back and forth catching the bullets, after about two minutes they stopped firing and waited for the dust to clear. Their jaws hit the floor when they realized that not only did they not do any damage to their target but they didn't hit anything else either. Saiyaman smirked at them as he opened his hands and there were each and every bullet that they fired at him only they were flat like they had hit solid steel. He could hear the thugs whimpering slightly as they turned and ran out of the bank and into the closest police car shaking with fear.
The police could only stare as fifteen thugs ran out of the bank and into the backs of various police cars. Shifting their gaze to the bank they stared a Saiyaman calmly walked out of the bank dragging five unconscious thugs behind him.
"Wow not even twenty minutes that has to be some kind of record." Whistled the Chief "You were right Videl he really is unbelievable."
"Yeah he sure is…" she sighed.
Thirty minutes later after they managed to get away from the media asking all the questions about where Saiyaman came from and how he met Videl. They climbed into her jet copter and headed back towards the high school with Gohan retelling what happened inside the bank before everyone came out. Not long after he finished his story did they arrive at the school with just enough time for their last class. Videl walked in first followed by Gohan five minutes later with a hand on his stomach.
"Ahh Mr. Son glad you decided to come back for my class." Said the teacher when he noticed Gohan walking to his seat "May I ask what took so long?"
"I think I had some bad sushi sensei." He groaned out as he took his seat.
"Well next time check the expiration dates Mr. Son I have seen how you eat."
The whole class burst out in laughter at the comment knowing exactly what the teacher meant.
The remainder of class went off without a problem and soon enough Videl and Gohan were giving Erasa a ride home trying to ignore the multitude of questions about Saiyaman and how Videl knew him. As soon as they dropped her off they let out a sigh of relief and headed for Gohan's house silently praying that Gohan's house was still standing and that they had food left…leaving Goku in the house training wasn't the best idea now that they thought of what they had done. Coming over the horizon the saw the whole house was still there they landed in the backyard and came in the backdoor where they found Goku napping in the spare bedroom food crumbs on the side of his mouth indicating that he had been into their food.
"Videl you wake him up, I'm going to see if he left any food for us." Gohan sprinted towards the kitchen.
"Goku…Goku…" she was gently shaking his shoulders but nothing was happening "SON GOKU WAKE UP RIGHT NOW!!!!!" she yelled at the top of her lungs causing Goku to jump up smacking his head off the ceiling.
"Ouch! That really smarts." Rubbing his forehead Goku got up off the floor.
"How was your training Goku?" she asked innocently as if she hadn't just caused the man unintentional head trauma.
"Fantastic Gohan really know his way around when it comes to electronics and technology." He flashed the famous Son grin and headed towards the kitchen where he felt his son's ki.
"Those two…I don't know how they do it…oh wait yes I do they are saiyans duh." She sweat dropped at her own stupidity.
IN THE KITCHEN
"Wow dad so your saying that you are close to the next level to huh, that's really something…we need you and Vegeta to train together sometime because he is close to the third level as well." Gohan finished his statement and began to think of how he could force the two over the edge and into the next level.
"I'm going home Gohan your mother has supper ready I'm sure so I will see you later." Goku raised his fingers to his forehead and waved goodbye. Videl came into the room already in her night clothes sat down and began picking away at the food that Gohan had cooked for them. He left to change into his night clothes, returning back to the kitchen the finished their meal and went into the living room to watch some T.V.
They sat up until about eleven thirty at night before they went to sleep preparing for the onslaught of questions about Saiyaman and how exactly Videl knew him. Gohan laid himself down next to Videl and wrapped his arms around her waist snuggling down into her neck kissing it a couple of times and tracing his kisses up her collarbone rubbing his hands up and down her arms.
"Gohan as much as I love what you are doing right now we both now that we or more specifically I'm not ready." She moaned slightly as Gohan pulled away.
"I know Del it's just incredibly hard to control my saiyan side." He rolled out of bed and stood up "I'm going to take a cold shower and see if that helps."
She drifted off to sleep shortly after he left to take his shower. Gohan returned with a towel around his waist grabbed some shorts and changed into them climbing into the bed as gently as he could and wrapped his arms around her again. As soon as he was comfortable he drifted off to sleep.
