"You should join the world martial arts tournament." Videl said with her arm placed to Gohan's chest, the young man pushed against the wall by the smaller female. Her eyes sharp, intense and daring him to look away. The scene looked suggestive if someone was to come around the hall and spot them.

"What? Why?" Gohan nervously looked around, breaking his gaze from Videl. It had been a week, and Videl had been trying to catch him doing something strange for a week now. With her running out of class to save the day being the norm, the appearance of the 'invisible guardian' only came before and after school hours. Her attention being intensified on him when she had the chance.

"You know why, you showed some skill that rivals my own. I might be stronger but you're faster. You might actually challenge me, and push me to a new limit." Videl said pulling back with her fists against her hips. "I want someone my equal to learn off of. There is no point in going otherwise."

"Listen, I appreciate that but I don't really want to join in the tournament. It will bring unwanted attention, kids from our school will be there. And there will also be reports, which will only bring out my other secret." Gohan shivered at the idea that he might get swarmed here at school once more just because of his family.

"Oh, that is right. Your secret." Videl smiled devilishly. A smile that worried Gohan. "If you don't join, I will have to just show a little picture at a Gala with your mother and brother. One where my father was a special guest. It won't be hard to prove who you are to the school with that."

"W-what!? Videl you promised not to tell anyone." Gohan was visibly aggravated by the threat.

"Your right, but I can get my own lunches. Join, or I tell everyone you're the heir to Capsule Corp." She said leaning in and forcing Gohan to back off to the wall again. "You don't have to enter in with a fake name, and wear a mask if you have too. But I will fight you in the tournament."

"Fine, I will join." Gohan answered slightly defeated, but then pointed to her with a furrowed brow. "But win or lose, you say nothing."

"Oh no." Videl wanted to keep Gohan honest. "You show up, and beat me I will keep my secret. You show up and lose, I will decide if you fought well enough to keep it to myself." She smiled knowing if he wanted to keep the secret, he would have to play along.

Gohan wanted to argue, but Videl had him by the metaphorical balls. "But you keep your promise, I win you keep quiet and stop black mailing me."

"If you win." Videl a victorious smirk on her lips and a sassy twist to her hip before walking away from her victim. Gohan sighed lightly as he thought how he was going to fight her, and not just outclass her. It would be bad to beat her like she was no challenge, as it might compel her to be vengeful and spill his secret in spite.

-Three days later-

Gohan had left school late, finishing his studies with a few fellow students. They were impressed with how quickly he was at understanding the more advanced school work. He was quick to tell them it was because of him being homeschooled so long and his tutor had kept him from slacking. On his way to his false living area, when a chime came from his phone. Lifting it up, he saw it was Erasa sending texts. "Probably wanting to see if I want to hang out again."

~Hey there, 'hero'. Bet you think your some sort of big shot taking down my boys a week ago. ~

Gohan's eye raised as this text seemed strange.

~Now it is time for pay back. Come alone, warehouse 4 in the downtown area. You call the cops; your cute friend here goes missing. ~ A new chime, a picture sent. He recognized Erasa's cloths she wore today, though her head was covered with some bag. A knife held to her body, making the young woman tense in the picture. ~If you want proof of how serious we are. ~

Another picture, Gohan hesitated to open it. Who else could they have got to? Who was it threatening his friend? It wasn't a ransom, so they didn't know who he was. He finally pressed the picture to bring it up, Sharpner laid on the ground. Blood pooled around his body and his arm bent the wrong way to show it was broken. Gohan couldn't tell if he was alive or not.

~Who is this? ~ Gohan sent the text back. ~What do you want?" ~

~You, warehouse 4. Downtown. One hour. ~

Gohan could feel a cold sweat. He knew whoever it was he could take out, but Erasa was an innocent that would get hurt if he was brash. And Sharpner was out somewhere to die as well. He shook as the idea of his new friends being hurt by someone going after him. The young man began to dial out, calling Chichi's number. The woman surprised, but Gohan asking if they had extra Sensu Beans they could bring to Satan City for him. He announced he did not have time to explain, he just needed them quickly. He had an hour, he needed to find Sharpner in the time as he could die any minute. Erasa was their bargaining chip, and would not be hurt to keep him from resisting whatever they wanted to do to him or get him to do for them.

Gohan turned, only for Videl to be standing behind him. Her hands placed on her hips. "So… what's a Sensu Bean? Some sort of drug? Calling some sort of dealer? Is that why you disappear form you house?" She said questioning him, implying something completely wrong. Her eyes looking over his face as his eyes looked desperate, they shifted like he was trying to figure out what to tell her.

"Nows not a good time. I have to…" Gohan attempted to slip by but Videl kept herself placed in front of him while he used human level speed. The hybrid did not want to have to use force on his classmate. "Get out of my way, please."

"Telling me will get me to do it faster… I don't like finding out my classmates are up to something bad." Videl said, her voice stern and her stance unwilling to back down.

"Damn it, Videl. You're just making me waste time."

"I think you find that your wasting time, tell me whats going on."

Gohan shook as he wanted to keep her out of the fight. "Fine." He said tossing her his phone. The human surprised as she sudden grabbed the device. Gohan used the moment of opening to slip by her, Videl yelling at him as he did not stop and ran. He could only hope that who ever was coming would move fast. He rose his Ki, allowing it to flare up and only hoped it meant someone would think he was in trouble and come.

Videl tried to follow behind, but Gohan moved fast to fast and when trying she could only see a dust trail to follow him. "Geez, how can he possibly be this fast?" She said as she lost him, huffing as she tried to give chase as long as she could. Her hand gripped the cellphone and almost tossed it to the ground. She then remembered it was Gohan's phone, and opened up the newest messages. Seeing that someone was black mailing Gohan with a hostage, and wondered what he was in.

-Gohan-

He tried to sense Shapner's Ki, seeing as every thing had a little Ki. He just hoped that Sharpner had a higher Ki to follow and that he had not passed away already. Worry filled him that an unknown assailant had attacked his friends, that worry also made him furious that someone would do so and not come for him directly. His Ki would flare, to the point Tarble would take notice.

Tarble's mind called into Gohan, asking what was going on. Gohan kept looking but explained that two friends were attacked and one was kidnapped. He was now looking for the other, as he received evidence of him being hurt. Tarble reminding Gohan to keep a level head, letting himself confuse himself would make it harder to find his friend. The older Saiyan confirms for Gohan that Nappa was in flight, but would take a few minutes to get there. Gohan explained the injuries, Yurin butting in and telling Gohan to place the ring she made for him onto his friend. Yurin able to use it is like one of her tags to cast magic through, and heal his friend enough to survive at least. Gohan thankful that they were paying attention to what was going on, the two guardians reminding that it was their job.

Gohan felt he could not keep running, it was taking to long. He would have to risk being seen, even as it grew darker. He took to the air and tried to fly over buildings as much as possible to keep from being seen. It had been fifteen minutes and he already searched between Sharpner's home and school. He then realized that Erasa and Sharpner would have been close most likely if he got pictures of bother of him… at least he hoped that was the issue.

It was getting closer and closer to twenty minutes when he heard something, it sounded like something falling in an alley way. Gohan landed and entered the alleyway, finding the blood-soaked shirt of his blond friend. His eyes dazed as he looked to Gohan. "They… took…" He said as he stepped forward, his legs shaking visibly.

Gohan knew he could not wait any longer, slipping his ring off his finger. "I know, this is going to sound stupid. But sit down and put this one." Gohan said leading Sharpner to lean against the wall.

"Your right that does sound stupid." He said wincing slightly.

"Humor me." Gohan held the ring to sharpner, the human rolled his eyes and put the ring on. His eyes widened as he could feel the pain suddenly disappear. The ring glowed with the radiance of a candle, and he looked at Gohan as the young man looked to downtown.

"What are you going to do?" Sharpner said, knowing the look being the same as Videl's when she saw 'evil'.

"I am going to save Erasa. Sharpner, you need to keep my secret." Gohan said, vanishing from Sharpner's sight suddenly. The blond teenager making a mental note to take on Gohan's good side, because he could feel his anger.

-Videl-

It was getting dark even for Satan City, but downtown was busy as always. Her approach would be found easily if she took the streets, and instead had to take side alleys. More then once she had to deal with a drunken letch trying a pass on her. She couldn't waste time though, Gohan had run off while Erasa was in trouble. The young lady knew Sharpner was in danger too, but it would be a needle in a hay stack to find him and almost impossible for the two teenagers to help. Of course, he could be going for some drugs to try and get Erasa back, a different issue she would need to bring up with him.

She found warehouse four, but found it was guarded. Pulling out her phone and using it to enhance images. "Those are not normal security." She spoke to herself as she saw the guards holding sub-machine guns and walking back and forth. Four mean at the gate, less armed but she noticed them having batons. "Looks like outside has a total of six sighted, front is well guarded. I will need to sneak around the side and try to get a roof access. Possibly take out one of the guards." Videl worked on planning her attack on the seeming strong hold. Before making a move, she sent a text to her police contact. In it she gave the address and informed of a possible hostage, and sent what pictures she could. The contact informed her keep her position tell she had back up, but Videl ignored that.

Slipping over a wall, and kept low as she moved around crates. She noticed a greater group of people just around the warehouse passed the gate. It was almost like the whole area was filled with wrongdoers. "What did you get into? What is Erasa having to deal with." She said to herself, having to slowly move.

"Hey!" Videl suddenly froze when she heard a voice call her direction, placing her back to the crate. She waited a moment and hoped it was not her caught. "Who drank the last can and didn't fill the cooler?" The call came out, letting her sigh lightly. Relaxed that she was not caught, she stepped forward and kicked a can by accident.

"Whose there?" Someone called out.

"Think it is our guest." Another voice.

"Pretty uncaring if he cared at all for the blonde." Another voice.

Videl could hear footsteps getting closer. If she ran, they would fire on her and she couldn't dodge three people with guns. The moment they did fire also meant Erasa could be hurt. She would have to finish off these people before they made to much fuss. Instead she prepared herself to fight multiple targets.

A man suddenly jumped out with his gun at the ready, only for as kick to land into face. Videl landed and moved fast, climbing the crates with leaps from her powerful legs. As she climbed, she found that she didn't have just three opponents but eight. She mentally cursed herself, but dropped down on the other man quickly. Several strikes to his body and one hard punch to the jaw sent the man to the ground. The group soon began to pull out chains and pipes, glad that this was going to be a Melee as it meant she could possibly take them down without to much noise.

The young woman rushed the group, surprising them with her brave charge. Videl leapt into the mob of thugs. An impressive display as she anticipated many attacks, but soon a well-placed chain would hurt her leg. Fighting the pain, she would take out another opponent but get a pipe to her side in retaliation. Then brutal sock to her jaw, the more they successfully hit the less she was able to fight them. Soon her arms grabbed and pulled behind her. Her unguarded midsection then hit into tell her legs could not hold her up, coughing and dragged toward the warehouse.

"Looks like to all seem to be having fun." A voice said behind them, crackling knuckles. The group turned to be face to face with a giant muscle-bound man, a malicious grin on his face. "Kid wanted me to leave this to him, but I couldn't very well let him have all the fun. Come on, your mine to play with." The man lowered his body and motioned with both hands to come for him. "Come, give Nappa a show."

A small part of the group left to take down this oversized gorilla of a man, one man taking his pipe and hitting Nappa's head. The man called out as his hand hurt from the back lash of hitting his hard body. Nappa then grabbed the pipe, and crushed it between his hands with a smile. Then with a flash, the thugs all were forced against each other. Nappa's speed easily overwhelmed the thugs, and with quick strikes they were unconscious and gathered. The large man looking to Videl who was injured, pulling out a Sensu Bean and handed it to her. "Here, this will help out. Gohan should be done soon."

"What is it?" Videl said a little suspicious of a friend of Gohan's. Even if he did just save her from what could have been a worse beating.

"It helps heal wounds, unless you like pain. Which all the power to you." Nappa said with a attempted quiet laugh.

Gohan on the other side of the warehouse, walked slowly to the front gate. He strode toward the four guards out front. It was there he was stopped; each man drew their baton to show force. One even poked his chest to show a red light on him, a warning that even if he did something that he would get killed. Gohan nodded as he understood, and was guided to the warehouse. The doors opened like a palace gate. As he walked in, he saw men and women sat on crates as if waiting for him.

One man sat higher than any of them, a coat rested over his shoulders, his hands and wrists wrapped. Dark curled hair raised from his head in a Fro. His eyes shifted from Gohan to another man in the group. "Is he the one?" His voice serious, yet bored sounding. A man nodded, Gohan recognized as one of the thugs his friends got in a fight with. "Good, now the fun can begin."

"I want to know that my friend is safe." Gohan called out, as he did not see Erasa here.

"You're not here to make demands." A woman responded as the others laughed lightly. "You live, maybe you will see her again."

"I came as requested. I don't care what you do to me, but I want her to be released." Gohan yelled out allowing his Ki to burst slightly, which pushed the air out and into the group of thugs around him. The group confused on what just happened.

"Show him." The leader spoke, the others looking at him confused. "Don't make me say it twice." The group gulped and nodded. A second story office area had its light turned on, Erasa lifted to face Gohan, to show she was close. "Happy." The man said coldly.

"Very. Now what do you want from me?" He asked, wishing to get this over with.

"That is simple… your going to get a beat down. And taught a lesson. We will make her watch, just as a warning to any other friends of yours." The leader said with a still bored look on his face.

"So, you're going to team up on me?" Gohan asked for his response to be just laughed at. "Then I will have to inform you of something you don't know." Gohan's eyes focused on the leader.

"Oh, the boy wants to try to intimidate us. We have you surrounded and your all alone." Another thug called out as he pulled out a knife.

"I am the unseen wind… the gust of Justice… I am the force of good that you cannot comprehend." Gohan said, the lights suddenly burst and darkening the warehouse. "Darkness and evil shall be banished by me." He continued as he powered up, turning super saiyan and generating light for the others to see. Erasa already by his side, the human confused at where she was as well. "Innocents will no longer fear you, as today." He dropped his super saiyan state, throwing the room into darkness. "You are defeated by the Great Saiyaman, Satan's City's champion of Justice." Gohan said the first thing he could think of, still hating the name 'Invisible Guardian'. Gohan left Erasa, and moved quickly to knock out all his opponents before he took Erasa out from the warehouse. The red light shined against him; his gaze turned as the thug aiming his gun at him suddenly shattered at the barrel. The thug sent back by the impact and left dazed where he was.

"Gohan?" Erasa's mind was still catching up to what just happened.

"Don't worry, Your safe now. So is Sharpner." Gohan sighed as he felt he would never have a normal life, in any semblance.

Erasa let out a sigh of relief, resting her head to his chest. She then chuckled, Gohan looking down to her. "I think we need to get you an outfit, if you're going to play superhero. You already chose a lame name; I will have to make you look cool at least."

The two unaware that Videl had watched most of the event. Gohan transforming, moving so fast that she couldn't keep up, him taking out every threat. She turned to Nappa to question him, but watched as the large man took to the sky. Her eyes widened as she believed she found his master, and knew she would have to train a lot harder to keep up with Gohan.

And so, The Great Saiyaman is still born. Videl witnessing the birth after assuming her classmate was up to no good. Instead finding he had the same sense of justice as her. But not only that, witness to someone take flight. How will this influence her interaction with Gohan? how will things change with Gohan's friends? Lets see what events transpire next chapter!
