Hi there. I'm back again.

In this chapter we'll see more about Gohan defeating the Saiyans. I hope you like it! There will be a bit of strong language in this story. Just a warning.

Thanks to Ivanoma for beta-reading.
I don't own it..

Chapter 37. Defeating the Saiyans.

The five Saiyans walked over the street. Gohan frowned and looked down. Vegeta smirked. "Sorry, Brat. It is for your own good."

Gohan shook his head. "No its not. It is for your stupid pride." He said as he crossed his arms.

Turles put an arm around the boy. "That too. A Saiyan shouldn't be treated like that. "

"Well, it is not my fault I went there at the age of four." Gohan gave a glare at the Saiyans who all shrugged.

"Don't you want to get back at him? "Nappa asked, frowning.

Gohan shook his head. "It was ten years ago. He probably forgot all about me. "

Vegeta frowned. "He will be in big trouble if that's the case. "

"He didn't even do anything. He never succeeded. "

"So? He tried. That's the idea." Raditz countered his nephews comment.

They stopped at a house, holding back the teenager who tried to walk further. Vegeta gave a quick look at the frowning boy before kicking the door in. Inside, they found a man around 34 sitting on a couch. He got up and looked at them. "Who are you? What do you want? "

Gohan was pushed forward by Vegeta. The boy sighed and stepped to the man. "Remember me?" He asked threateningly.

The man frowned at Gohan and watched his features. Then a small light of understanding erupted in his eyes as he saw the boy's tail. The man grinned. "You're that monkey boy. Wow, you're even more hansom than when I last saw you. "

Gohan shuddered for a second, thinking about the night with the man. It was kind of hard to see him after all this time. The man looked at Gohan with amusement. "Well, what's your business here? Came to finish what we never got to finish?"

"Something like that. "Gohan said and he launched himself at the man. The Saiyans watched Gohan attacking and beating the man up. When he was done, Gohan went to walk out the house.

Vegeta grabbed the boy's shirt. "Wait. I never heard the man apologize."

Gohan shrugged. "I just want to go" He looked at the ground with a frown.

Vegeta grabbed the boy by his arm and turned to the man on the ground. "I don't hear anything." He said.

The man groaned and looked up. He didn't look very good now that Gohan was done with him. The man locked his eyes on the Saiyans and smirked. "Want to hear something? All right. That boy is so warm in bed. It made me feel all tingly inside. I'm surprised that you never tried it. You look like men who recognize good things. Have you ever tried it? "

Four tails flicked angrily. Gohan looked away and shuddered again. The man continued still smirking. "Okay. I apologize, hansom, for not being able to fuck you. "

At this, the four Saiyans attacked the man and killed him. Gohan looked at the man and then at the Saiyans. His eyes were wide open. He stared at the adults as Turles, Raditz and Nappa grabbed him and pushed him out of the house. He kept staring at them until Vegeta turned to him.

"If you're going to keep doing that, I'll give you the same treatment. " He threatened. Gohan gulped and looked away.

() **** **** ()

Gohan sat at the table, playing his game. The boy frowned and muttered something. Turles watched the boy play and sat down next to him. "Are you winning?"

Gohan shook his head. "No, I can't pass this level."

"Poor boy. He can't win in real life, and now he can't even win in his game." Vegeta sneered walking in.

Gohan glared at him. "Shut up."

Turles smirked and looked at the game. "Cut him some slack, Vegeta. It's really hard to beat us. Especially for such an inexperienced boy."

"You'd better keep your mouths shut. You can't even pass level 5." Gohan said to Vegeta and Turles.

Vegeta shrugged and walked to the kitchen to get something drink. "Just wait, Brat. When you're in the war, I'll surpass that level."

Gohan nodded. "Yeah, right. In your dreams." He mocked before turning back to his game again. Vegeta put some drinks on the table and sat down next to Gohan. The two adults watched Gohan playing.

Gohan frowned. "Wow, I've got the feeling I'm being watched." He muttered. The two adults laughed.

Vegeta nudged Gohan. "I think your feelings are right."

Turles grabbed the game. "I want to play."

Gohan let him grab it. "Suit yourself. Watch out or you'll get obsessed with it."

Vegeta turned to Gohan. "So, are racing games the only thing you like?" He asked before taking a sip from his drink.

Gohan shrugged. "That was just the one I picked in the store then." Turles growled which earned him a smirk from Gohan. "Having trouble?" He sneered.

Turles ignored him and tried again. Vegeta nudged Gohan again. "We were talking."

Gohan turned back to Vegeta and nodded. "I don't know about other games. I didn't really look around the day I got the game."

"What do you think you would like?" Vegeta asked moving his drink on the table. Turles gave a quick look at Vegeta but turned his sight back to the game.

Gohan shrugged. "I don't know. I don't even know what kind of games there are besides racing games. I guess a combat game couldn't hurt." He added the last sentence with a smile.

"Good idea." Turles said smiling. "Maybe he can win a fight in a game. He needs a victory once in a while."

Gohan looked at the two adults. "You can't just let me live with the fact I can't beat all of you, can you?"

The two adults shook their heads amused. Gohan crossed his arms. "Well, I bet I can beat you one on one."

Vegeta raised his eyebrows. "Oh, really? Care to prove that?"

Gohan shook his head and frowned. "Yeah, right. Within the first ten minutes, the others will be joining us. I've fought enough for today."

Turles smirked. "I guess he knows us too well."

"I guess." Vegeta answered before he turned to Gohan again. "Did you already think about what you're going to take with you to the war?"

Gohan shrugged. "I guess not. I don't have much to take with me. My only possessions are in the box, which I'm going to leave here with you."

Vegeta nodded. "You'll probably get a uniform there. You can leave your clothes here."

"You'd better take nice things to eat with you." Turles continued. "The food at wars is terrible if there even is any."

"Good advice." Gohan said smiling. "I'll take some with me."

"Let's see. After you go to the war, we're going off to purge planets again. They have our scouter numbers so they can reach us if something happens." Vegeta started. "In case something happens and you can't get back to the head quarters." Vegeta reached in his uniform and gave Gohan a capsule. "We have linked scouters. You know how to work with those." Gohan nodded. "Keep that with you at all time but you can't let anyone notice you have it okay?"

"Yes but why not?"

"I don't know if they like it when people connect with the outside world." Vegeta crossed his arms. "Just keep it to yourself."

"All right." Gohan answered before looking back at his game again. "Having any luck?" He asked Turles.

Turles frowned. "No, this game is terrible."

"Level 6. You've surpassed Vegeta already." Gohan said impressed.

Vegeta frowned. "I want to try it." He said reaching out for it.

Gohan leaned back in the chair, not wanting to get caught in the fight. Turles pulled the game back. "I'm playing."

"Give it here." Vegeta said pulling it back again.

"No, let go!" Turles snapped back.

Gohan watched the two fighting over the game. "Maybe we should buy you your own games." He offered amused. The two adults frowned at him and Gohan put his hands in the air. "Just a suggestion."

"I have a suggestion." Vegeta began with a smile. He grabbed Gohan by his collar and pulled him up.

Gohan frowned. "I get the feeling I'm not going to like that suggestion."

Vegeta shrugged and pulled the boy with him. Gohan put his hands on Vegeta's and tried to pull them off his collar. They walked to the door and Raditz and Nappa came in. Gohan raised his eyebrows. "I can't believe the timing you always have." He said disbelievingly. The two adults shrugged.

Vegeta smirked. "We were about to have a little sparring match." Vegeta was interrupted by an "Of course." from Gohan. Vegeta ignored the half-breed and turned to the other two Saiyans. "Care to join us?"

"Yeah, sure." Raditz said nodding. Nappa shrugged and Turles got up with a smile.

After this Vegeta turned to Gohan. "You know, sometimes I wonder if you really are a Saiyan. You don't really seem to like fighting."

Gohan pulled the Prince's hands off his collar and shrugged. "I like fighting, I just don't like slaughters. Which is probably going to happen within the next three hours."

"Well," Vegeta started walking out the room, the other saw this as a sign to follow. "Why don't you change that and turn it into a victory?"

"That's really a good example of 'easier said than done.'' Gohan answered crossing his arms.

"Ah, well. It was worth to try." Vegeta said shrugging. They walked into the training room and locked the door. That way nobody could disturb them or see their sparring sessions.

Vegeta turned to the other adults. "I want to train with the brat alone. Are you okay with sparring with each other?"

The three adults nodded and jumped into the air. Gohan raised an eyebrow as Vegeta turned to him. "Well, I was thinking about what you said earlier and I wanted to give a one-on-one fight a try." Gohan nodded and got in a fighting stance. "But." Vegeta started. "You have to keep your power level at 50%"

"50?" Gohan asked with wide eyes. "That's too low. Especially when you power up to your max."

"Just do it." Vegeta answered as he got in a fighting stance.

Gohan sighed and crossed his arms. "You know, I was really hoping to get out of this alive."

"50% now!" Vegeta snapped. Gohan uncrossed his arms and powered up to fifty percent. Vegeta nodded. "This is fifty?" Gohan nodded affirmative. "Good. If I notice you going any higher, I'm making it four against one." Vegeta said adjusting his stance.

"Okay." Gohan said as he got in a fighting stance as well. 'This is going to be great.' He thought sarcastically.

() **** **** ()

Gohan dodged a blow to the head and sent one back at Raditz. He received a kick in the back, launching him through the air to the ground. Gohan groaned and rolled on his back. He went to jump up when he noticed he couldn't move. Gohan looked up to see Turles holding his arms above his head. He looked down to find Nappa holding his legs. Gohan struggled. 'Damn, they got me.'

Raditz knelt to the ground next to him and looked at the boy. Gohan frowned and he tried to shake his bangs out of his eyes. This didn't work though. "What is this about?"

Raditz smiled. "You should know." He reached out and brushed the boy's hair out his face.

Gohan widened his eyes and sighed. "Can't you just leave me alone? I shouldn't have told you about it."

"Sorry, Boy. You did tell us about it." Turles said as he tightened his grip on the boy's arms.

Gohan nodded. "Big mistake." The four adult Saiyans smirked.

"So, Half-breed, spill it. Who attacked you during your time at Camp?" Raditz asked. Vegeta descended to the ground a few feet away and crossed his arms.

Gohan shook his head. "I'm not telling." He struggled which only made Turles and Nappa tighten their grip.

Nappa looked at the boy. "Come on, Half-breed. Just say it. We want names."

Gohan struggled again. He didn't want to tell the names. After the reunion, they decided that Gohan had to take revenge on the every man that attacked him. He had taken care of Himona already. Vegeta found out about Himona's two friends. They took Gohan to them and forced him to beat them up. After that, the four adults went to see the headmaster to ask if he knew a few names. The headmaster complied happily since he was always fond of Gohan and hated those guys for attacking the boy. Vegeta was fiercely insistent on visiting the guy who was the first to try it. The guy who had been Gohan's room mate in his first week. They visited there first. Gohan was hesitant because the guy hadn't succeeded. He wouldn't have another chance to ever again.

After that, they tried several times to force him to tell. He even woke up one morning with the Saiyans standing around his bed, telling him to spill it while pinning him down and threatened to lock him up without food if he didn't say something. This threat didn't work, though. The Saiyans got hungry within a few hours and walked away to get something to eat. Gohan was able to sneak out then.

Raditz frowned when Gohan didn't answer. "Don't tell me we have to torture it out of you?"

Gohan looked up. "I'm used to torture by now." He hissed, glaring at Vegeta.

Vegeta put his hands up. "It was for your own good. You'll thank me someday."

"Yeah right."

Raditz shook his head. "There are different kinds of torture, Boy." Gohan frowned but then widened his eyes and panicked. Raditz laughed. "Not that kind of torture."

"You don't even know what I was thinking." Gohan said pouting.

"What were you thinking then?"

"Why don't you say what you thought I was thinking?" Gohan asked daringly.

"Why don't you say what you think I thought you were thinking?"

Gohan blinked. "I lost it at that one."

Raditz mouth twisted in amusement. "Yeah, me too. "

Vegeta rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Just get it over with."

Raditz nodded and turned back to Gohan again. "Spill."

Gohan frowned. "We don't have time for this. The war is in two weeks. Lying on the ground isn't going to help me. Besides, If we punish everyone who attacked me, we will be at this for weeks. I don't have time for that."

Nappa shrugged. "You'll have enough time after the war. You're sixteen, Boy. You have your whole life ahead of you."

Gohan looked at Nappa. "Who says I'll survive the war."

"Wow, I never knew you were such a downer. We say you'll survive it." Turles answered with a smirk. "And you know what happens when you disobey us."

Gohan rolled his eyes. " I'll tell that to the enemy when they try to kill me."

"Good idea. It could save your young life." Turles answered. Gohan let his head fall back on the ground.

"Soooo. Tell, or I'm going to torture it out of you." Raditz said as he extended his hands.

Gohan raised his eyebrows. "What are you going to do?"

Raditz smiled. "The only torture that's still effective on you. The tickle torture."

Gohan frowned. "Don't even think about it." He didn't like that idea.

Raditz nodded and put his hands on Gohan's sides. Gohan struggled and nearly panicked as he felt Raditz's touch. His power level flared but then he settled down and narrowed his eyes. "You, of all people, should know I don't like it when people touch me without permission." Raditz flinched and pulled away. Turles and Nappa flinched too and loosened their grip.

Vegeta's eyes narrowed. 'His power level just went through the roof. He could have pushed Nappa and Turles off easily. He didn't do it, though.' Vegeta widened his eyes as it hit him. "Of course." He raised his voice. "Hold him!"

Turles and Nappa looked up at Vegeta and nodded. They tightened their grip on the boy again. Gohan looked at Vegeta. "Why?"

Vegeta gave a warning look at the other adults and knelt down next to Gohan. "Why don't we make a little bet? If you beat us today, we can't ask for names anymore. If we win, you'll tell us every name."

Gohan frowned. "Not a chance. There's no way I can beat you all."

Vegeta narrowed his eyes again and he backhanded the boy. "I knew it. How can we expect you to beat us if you can't believe it yourself?" He elbowed Gohan in the stomach. Gohan coughed up blood and gave a confused look at Vegeta."Did you really think we would expect you to beat us if we didn't believe in it? That we're working on a lost cause?" Another punch in the stomach made Gohan gasp for air. Turles and Nappa looked at each other hesitantly but both decided to let Vegeta continue."That's an insult to us boy. If we say you can beat us then that's the truth. We believe in you. So start believing in yourself for a change." Gohan looked at Vegeta with wide eyes.

Vegeta extended his hand at him. "Make that bet, Boy."

Gohan frowned. "I don't want to tell the names."

Vegeta smirked and he shifted a bit closer. "Then don't lose."

"I can't beat you guys, Vegeta." Gohan screamed at him.

Vegeta backhanded him again. "Say that again and the next one will be in a very vulnerable place." He threatened.

Gohan looked away, which only made Vegeta grab his chin. He forced the boy to look up at him. He let the boy go and gave a quick look at Turles. The man caught the look and gave a confused one back. "If you don't want to say it you could always sent a blast at Turles. Your hands are free." Vegeta said preparing a blast in his hand.

The other adults gasped silently. Gohan didn't notice this and nodded. "Good idea." He prepared a blast in his hand. Ready to send it. With a quick movement Turles let Gohan's hand go and pushed it in the air. Vegeta caught Gohan's hand and shook it. The moment the two blasts touched each other they flew out of their hands. Gohan watched the two blasts circling around their hands. Then Vegeta's blast went in Gohan's wrist and vice versa.

Vegeta let go of Gohan's hand with a smirk. Gohan looked at his wrist the where the yellow contours of a little star appeared. "What the heck is this?"

"You, my boy, just made a bet." Vegeta answered.

Turles and Nappa got off Gohan and the boy sat up. "What? No I didn't. I didn't agree with it!"

Vegeta nodded amused. "Yes you did. We shook our prepared hands. Welcome to the Saiyan style of betting, Boy."

Gohan looked at the star on his hand. "What's this?"

"That's the reminder of the bet. If you loose the bet, you have to do the punishment. If you don't do that, the blast in your arm will explode. Bye bye, arm." Vegeta held up his own arm to show a little star on his wrist.

The sixteen year old shook his head defeated. "No. I can't believe I fell for it." He said softly. "That's low. Using my own heritage against me." He hissed to the adult.

Vegeta shrugged. "I'm a warrior. I'll do anything to get my way."

"Will this stay there forever?"

Vegeta shook his head. "It'll disappear when the bet is over. If you win, though, our punishment will never be over. The star disappears in two days but it shows up when you think about it."

Gohan panicked. "But what if I forget a name? What if our definition of an attack is different? I can't survive the war with one arm, Vegeta!" Gohan yelled as he got up.

"You're still thinking you're going to lose the bet." Vegeta frowned. "Let me tell you, you're the only one in this room who's thinking that."

Gohan sighed and put his head in his hands. "Damn it." He whispered.

Vegeta rolled his eyes and got in a fighting stance. "Don't talk, Brat. Fight."

() **** **** ()

"Ka me ha me ha!"

The wave hit Turles and he fell to the ground. Gohan saw it and slowly let himself fall to the ground. Panting, he fell to his knees. He felt a burning pain in his wrist and saw the star turn black. He looked up to see a three small blasts flying to Nappa, Raditz and Turles. They all groaned softly as the blasts went in their arms.

Vegeta slowly got up and walked over to the teen. "Good job, kiddo. You did it. You won the bet." Gohan looked up and smiled. Then he fainted.

That evening the four adults were talking. Gohan was sent to bed early because he needed rest. The boy didn't agree with it so they knew he was probably reading or playing his video game. Turles smiled. "He did it. I never knew he could do it."

Vegeta smirked. "I knew it."

Nappa nodded. "That bet was a great risk, though. How did you know he would win?"

Vegeta crossed his arms. "I was thinking when you were questioning him. I've been thinking about it a lot, actually. The boy has great potential. The problem is that it only shows when he's angry or scared."

The others frowned and Vegeta continued. "Remember when Raditz first met him? Half-breed attacked him because he was angry at him." Raditz nodded.

"After that, the boy pulled more stunts like that. I remember the night we were purging a planet and we left the four year old alone. I felt his power level flare for two seconds and then disappear again. Something could have happened at that moment. I also remember when I attacked him and touched his shoulder he snapped. His power level was higher than I could image."

Nappa widened his eyes. "That's true."

Turles smirked. "So you decided to create a situation which was beyond his control. He really didn't want to tell us, but was scared to lose the bet and mess up. Smart thinking."

Vegeta nodded. "It was a dangerous decision for the boy. I knew he would do it, though. Add a little pressure and he's ready to go."

"That's why he'll do well in the war. He'll get pushed to his limits. He's one to make friends. If he looses one..." Turles drifted of and looked at the boy's room.

"Damn that war. The kid's had enough trouble, already." Raditz said frowning.

"I guess we're to blame for that." Vegeta said smirking. "So stop feeling guilty. The only thing we can do is get him ready. The rest is up to him. I didn't lie about what I said today. I have full confidence in him."

Turles nodded. "Me, too." The other two agreed.

Raditz frowned. "I don't like that we can't ask about those attackers anymore. I really think he should take revenge on them or at least scare them."

Nappa cracked his knuckles. "That's too bad." He said nodding. "He'll have to come to us with it."

Vegeta smirked. "That won't last very long." The others looked at him again.

"If he goes into heat, he'll understand the ways of a Saiyan. He'll want to take revenge on them." Vegeta said nodding.

"Do you think he'll go in heat?" Turles asked frowning.

Vegeta nodded. "I'm sure of it. He's a half-Saiyan but he has the other symptoms."

"Now that you mention it, I noticed a small change in his scent." Raditz said as he got up to get a drink.

Vegeta nodded. "Me too. It's very faint though. It'll probably take a while."

"I hope not during the war." Turles said frowning. "Maybe we should warn him ."

Nappa shook his head. "Add more problems to his mind? Bad idea. Just hope it will come after the war. It's more fun for us if he doesn't know."

Raditz laughed. "He won't know what hit him."

Vegeta frowned. "Back to the war. What do we do now he defeated us?"

"Defeating two Oozaru?" Nappa asked. Gohan succeeded in defeating Vegeta as an Oozaru. That's why they decided to make it four against one again.

Vegeta nodded. "I guess that's good. Four is too much." The others agreed.

In his small room Gohan was reading a book. He was lost in it so he didn't notice someone coming in. He looked up when the book disappeared from his sight.

"I'm starting to wonder where you keep those things." Vegeta said frowning.

Gohan pouted. "Please give it back?"

Vegeta shook his head and gave a strict look at the boy. "Didn't we tell you to go to sleep?"

Gohan shook his head innocently. "You told me to go to bed. You didn't say anything about sleeping."

Vegeta laughed. "I guess that's right." He threw the book in the air and caught it again. "So, since you completed the first task. Tomorrow we'll start with a new goal."

Gohan got up. "What's that?"

"You'd like to know that wouldn't you." Vegeta asked teasingly.

Gohan crossed his arms. "I hate surprises."

"You'll love this one." Vegeta said smirking. He turned around and walked back to the door. "I'll come back in a half hour. If you're not asleep by then you're in big trouble." He said as he turned around again. Gohan rolled his eyes and nodded. Vegeta tossed the book back to Gohan. The boy caught it with a confused look. Vegeta put his hand on the doorknob. "I never saw that thing." He said with a smirk. "Why take away something I didn't see." He winked at the boy and closed the door.

Gohan changed and went to lie down in his bed. He looked up at the ceiling and thought about the day they visited the headmaster for names.

Flashback ****

Gohan looked around when they walked in the hallway to the headmaster's. Two guards came walking up to them. One of them spotted Gohan and grinned. Gohan closed his eyes and sighed. "Hi, half-Saiyan." The guard waved at him. "Long time, no see. You're not coming back are you? Are they tired of you already?"

Gohan frowned and ignored them. The guard frowned and grabbed his arm. "You didn't answer my question."

Gohan turned to him. "I would let go or else.."

The guard laughed. "Or else what? I see you got rid of the bracelet. Too bad. I have to say, you look great in pain." Gohan frowned and punched the man away. Then he fired a blast at him, leaving him on the ground unconscious.

Gohan stalked further. The four Saiyans looked at him. "Let's do this and go."

They nodded and followed him to the headmaster's office. The headmaster looked up when they came in. "Ah, yes. Hello."

The headmaster got up to shake their hands and they all sat down. "So Gohan, how are you doing?"

"Fine, thanks." Gohan said politely.

"Good. The camp is quiet since you left. You're really the one who formed that group. After you left, I really thought the runaway group would fall apart. They didn't give up, though. Mainly because Justin would let it happen. He and Boris were so loyal too you, saying that you wouldn't give up either."

Gohan smiled. "That's really good to hear. I met all of them something like a year ago. Justin and Boris met up with me a few times after that. They were doing fine then."

Vegeta frowned. This conversation was taking too long. "We came here for a different goal."

The headmaster nodded. "Yes, I heard. I'd be happy to give the names of the men who he had encounters with."

Gohan looked down at his knees. The headmaster noticed this and looked at him. "What's wrong? You don't agree with it?"

Gohan looked up and shrugged. "Just continue."

The man behind the desk frowned at the boy and then turned to the Saiyans. "This is very hard for the boy. I suppose you're helping him through it?" he asked coldly. The Saiyans nodded and the headmaster smiled. "Well, it's a big list. Remember Gohan came here when he was four. A very easy target. Once you have that reputation, you never get rid of it."

The Saiyans nodded and Vegeta glanced at the frowning boy. He turned to the headmaster. "We just want him to pay it back to them."

"And what do you want?" The headmaster asked Gohan.

Gohan frowned. "Just don't ask for my opinion and continue." He said agitatedly. "This is taking way too long and I want to get out of here."

"You don't want to get back at them?"

Gohan sighed. "No, I don't. I mean…. Whose fault was it that I got attacked? I can try and blame the whole world but the fault ends with me. Now they're forcing me to blame them but it doesn't work like that. We can go make all those people pay." Gohan got up and frowned. "But in the end, I'm the one who has to face all of them and I'm not in the mood to do that." Gohan walked to the door and turned to the headmaster. "Give them the fucking names and be done with it."

He walked out and closed the door. The headmaster looked at the Saiyans. "Did you ask if he wanted to do it?"

"He's overreacting." Vegeta said. "Give us the names and we'll make sure we do something about it. We're his guardians, so we can decide."

The headmaster nodded. "Right. Here they are. I only have the names from the people we caught." A long list of names was given to Raditz, who frowned as he saw the number.

The headmaster turned to the Saiyans. "I hope you know what you're doing."

The Saiyans got up. "Don't worry. We know how to handle him." Raditz said. They said goodbye and walked out. Gohan was waiting outside the door with a frown.

The headmaster watched them go and sighed. He looked at three more lists with names. "I hope I'm doing the right thing, Boy."

They walked through the building in silence. When they walked outside Vegeta grabbed Gohan and pushed him into a wall. Gohan frowned at the harsh treatment and looked at Vegeta. "You really need to stop doing that. You can just ask me to go stand here."

Vegeta ignored the comment and looked at the boy. "Do you really blame yourself for being attacked?"

Gohan was caught off guard by this question and looked away. A growl from Vegeta made him look back at the man. Raditz and Turles leaned against the wall on either side of the boy and Nappa stood beside Vegeta.

"I don't know. Its just... When you get attacked all the time by different people, you just start to wonder... Is it me? What's so special about me, so interesting? I mean, there were younger boys coming in when I was there. Justin, for example, started when he was thirteen and they still attacked me when I was fourteen. I just started to blame myself for it." Gohan looked down.

Vegeta sighed and frowned. "That's stupid. You shouldn't blame yourself for what happened. You didn't have a real chance to prove them wrong."

Raditz nodded in agreement. "Just think about it. You got there when you were four. Just like the headmaster said, if one man looks at you like that, the others will follow. The first attack on that night you came there sealed your destiny. People under the age of ten become a worthy goal."

Vegeta cupped the boy's chin. "Don't blame yourself, Boy. We didn't attack you did we? Nobody tried anything and you walked around alone a lot. It has nothing to do with you personally. It's just that first night."

"That's why we have to visit that man." Turles said with a smirk.

Gohan frowned and looked at Vegeta. "How many names did you get?"

Raditz crossed his arms. "Ten."

Gohan sighed relieved and smiled. "Okay."

"We know that's not everyone. We'll find a way to get those names." Vegeta said.

Gohan rolled his eyes. "Sure."

"Okay, why don't we visit number three on the list first." Vegeta said as he looked at the list. "He doesn't live far from here."

Gohan frowned but he didn't say anything. Raditz nodded. "We'll do that."

When they arrived at their destination, they pushed Gohan in to attack him. After this, they walked outside again.

Vegeta smirked. "That's one down." He looked at the boy and then turned to the other adults. "Why don't we grab something to eat? I hear there's a great restaurant nearby."

The other Saiyans nodded and they walked to the restaurant. Gohan gave a quick look at the house before Vegeta grabbed him and pushed him further.

End of flashback ****

Gohan thought about the other attacks. Within a span of three days, they attacked the rest of the available men. The others were somewhere out in space. He remembered being thankful for that. He hated being forced to attack those goons.

The door opened and Gohan looked up to see Vegeta peaking in. Gohan quickly closed his eyes. Vegeta smirked. "Caught that."

"I'm asleep." Gohan answered with a smile.

"Good boy." Vegeta said before he closed the door.
