Jon: She was head cheerleader. [turns to Garfield] Ever had an entire pompom shoved
up your nose?
Garfield: Let me think....no.
Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: [whistling along to the ending song from Mario Land 2. Pauses, then glances
over at audiance & blushes] (embrassed) Heh-heh. Hi! Welcome to Part 2 of "The Masked
Avenger Rides Again!"
Vegeta: (saracasm) Whoop-dee-doo.
Chuquita: Oh you shut up or I'll pull you out of the fic and give your part to somebody
who deserves it! Like--
Vegeta: (glares at her) DON'T say it...
Chuquita: --"Kakarrot"
Vegeta: (smirks) You wouldn't dare.
Chuquita: [pulls out her now trademarked "Big Book of Author Spells"] Oh wouldn't I?
Vegeta: (mumbles) Haven't seen that thing in a while...
Gohan: [taps Vegeta on the shoulder] What IS that thing?
Vegeta: Don't ask.
Chuquita: [flipping through the pages of her "Big Book of Author Spells] Now let's see, which
one shall I use on you for that particular sarcastic remark...hmm.
Goku: [teleports into the room & points to one of the spells] OOH! THIS ONE!
Vegeta: ACK! WHERE'D KAKARROT COME FROM!
Goku: (shakes his head) Veggie! You should know that by now! Didn't your Mommy ever teach you
about the birds and the bees!
Vegeta: I DIDN'T MEAN HOW YOU WERE BORN YOU IDIOT! I MEANT WHY ARE YOU HERE!
Goku: Umm...I dunno! (grins)
[Chuquita & Gohan sweatdrop]
Chuquita: Oh brother...[picks up the "B.B.O.A.S" again] Now, which one did you say I should use,
Son-San?
Goku: This one. [points to one of the lines]
Chuquita: (a smile slowly creeps across her face) Say....I never noticed THAT one!
Vegeta: (nervous) Whadda ya mean, "THAT one"?
Chuquita: #984, the "Tattletale" spell.
Vegeta: What's that?
Chuquita: A spell that forces you to tell the truth for an entire 24 hours. For example say
if I were to ask you if that was your natural hair color, you would be unable to lie and the
spell would force you to blurt out the truth! (grins evilly at Veggie) Doesn't that sound like
fun?
Vegeta: [glances over at a dazed Goku, who's tongue is hanging out the side of his mouth]
[glances back at Chuquita] (frightened) NO!
Chuquita: (happily) Yes it is then! [zaps Veggie, who instantly covers his mouth with his hands]
Quick, Veggie! Tell me who's your best, [smirks in Goku's direction] buddy?
Vegeta: (bites his tongue) I..I..KAKA-CHAN IS!
Goku: (grins excitedly) REALLY little buddy?
Vegeta: (hangs his head) Yes.
Goku: [jumps onto Veggie & hugs him] AWWWWWWWwWWWwwwWWWWwwWWW! Veggie loves me!
Vegeta: ...!
Chuquita: (snickering) DO you love "Kaka-Chan", Veggie?
Vegeta: (growls) YOU SHUTUP!
Chuquita: I guess we'll just have to wait till after the show. (to audiance) Here's Part 2
everybody!
Summary: And once again the day is saved..by who? After watching Gohan's many superhero antics on
the news, Veggie decides it's time to break out his old "Masked Avenger" costume and hog some of
the glory for himself--and surprisingly ends up saving the day even better than Gohan has. After
much gloating and boasting, Gohan snaps and Vegeta decides to put an end to the compitition with
a contest; the first one to perform the biggest superhero feat gets the town and the loser must
give-up crimefighting for good! Who will win? Who knows...
*************************************************************************************************
" AHH! " Vegeta shrieked at Goku, who was standing across the room from him.
" AHH! " Goku shrieked back.
" AHH! "
" AHH! "
" AHH! "
" AHH! "
" A--hey Veggie, what're we "AHH"ing about anyway? " Goku asked, curious.
" YOU! YOU'RE DEAD! " Vegeta cried, pointing his shaking finger at him.
" I already explained that too you, I'm an angel now. I'm doing odd jobs to get enough
credit for some free days. " Goku sighed.
" You mean that whole mini-Kakarrot concience thing...I didn't dream that? "
" Now how could you dream that, YOU WERE AWAKE! "
" Well, I either assumed it was that or I must've enhaled some of those toxic fumes
from the nuclear power plant on my way over here. " Vegeta said, pointing out the window.
" Nope! I'm real! "
" So...you're here to play concience with me again? "
" Hmm? OH! No, he got better. " Goku said as Vegeta's concience appeared above him, a
miniture version of himself in an angel costume.
" Welcome back butterball. " the concience smirked, then disappeared.
" He never liked me...at least not since I mailed him to Aruba for making me be nice
to YOU. " Vegeta stuck out his tongue.
" So, ya wanna know what I'm doing now? " Goku said excitedly.
" No. "
" Come on! It's REALLLLY cool! Much cooler than the last job! " he said in a sing-song
voice.
" No. "
" I'll give ya a hint. It has to do with FISHHHHHHH... "
" ... "
" ... "
" In that case I don't want to even know. " Vegeta grumbled.
" Awww, Veggie! Hey! I'll give ya a lifeline, how about that! " Goku said, then snapped
his fingers as they instantly appeared in the two chairs in the "Who Wants to Be a Millonaire"
studio, " So what'll it be! Phone-a-friend? Ask-the-audiance? 50/50? "
" How about Send-me-back-home. " Vegeta glared at Goku, who quickly pulled a little
blue card out of his pocket.
" Oh-key do-key! Here's the choices! "
" Oh joy. " Vegeta remarked sarcastically.
" Son Goku's new part time job having do with fish IS: A) Aquatic swimming instructor,
B) A fish Superhero, C) A sushi-chef, or D) Mackerel massage therapist! "
Vegeta rolled his eyes, " HOW ABOUT E) I DON'T CARE! " he screamed, then blinked to see
they had reappeared back in Vegeta's 'throne room'; Goku sniffling.
" Fine, be that way, I don't care. " Goku rubbed his nose, disappointed, " I'm leaving. "
he cried sadly.
" Yes Kakarrot, thanks for the guilt, now get outta here. " Vegeta pointed towards the
door as Goku sluggishly waddled off towards it, then paused.
" OH! WAIT! " he pounded one of his fists ontop of the other, " I forgot. You weren't
supposed to see me just now. " he grinned, then put his pointer finger in front of Vegeta's face,
" Now watch very closely Veggie! " Goku instructed, then gave him a small smile. Vegeta watched
him quietly for a few seconds, then shrieked and fell back as two humongous, beautiful white
wings burst out of his back. He pulled some sparkily dust off one of them & held it tight in a
fist, " I gotta knock you out for a little while oh-kay Vedge-head? " he said happily as Vegeta
sat there in front of him, baffled.
" You..you..I GOTTA BE DREAMING THIS! " Vegeta screamed at Goku, " YOU'RE NOT HERE! AND
YOU DON'T HAVE..HAVE...THOSE _THINGS_!!! " he said, pointing at Goku's wings.
" Yes I do silly! They have hypnotic powers too, wanna see? " he said as he flapped them
once; Vegeta now staring at them like a confused drooling idiot, " Hey, that worked faster than
I thought. " Goku said to himself, impressed, then tossed the dust into the air & disappeared,
" Bye-bye little buddy! CYA later! "
" And he's been sitting here like this for at least 3 hours now! " Goten explained to
Trunks as they examined Vegeta, who was still in the same spot in
hypnotized-confused-drooling-idiot mode.
" Whoa. Bizzare. " Trunks said, surprised, then grinned impishly, " Let's poke him. "
" Why? " Goten asked.
" It's an ancient gypsy trick, I saw it on an infomercial. To test if somebody is still
alive you grab a rod. " he looked around the room, then picked up Vegeta's scepter, " And you
poke um! "
" Poke um? Poke um where? " Goten exclaimed.
" I'm glad you asked that question Goten. " Trunks smirked, then pulled the rod back like
he was playing pool, " Now watch and learn my friend. " he said, then thrust the rod forward...
and hitting Vegeta in the croch. Vegeta screamed out in pain and fell down sideways, whimpering
like a little girl.
" Trunks... " he growled in a squeaky voice as he grabbed his son by the collar & pulled
him down, " WHAT do you think...you're...doing! "
" Uh, uh-- " Trunks gulped as Vegeta went SSJ2.
" Whuh, what'll we do NOW! " Goten said nervously.
" Another ancient gypsy trick buddy. " Trunks bravely re-assured him, " It's called...
RUNNING AWAY!!! " he screamed as the boys did just that, leaving Vegeta on his side on the floor
of the throne room, his privates still throbbing with pain. He glanced up the stairs.
" Boys? Boys? " he said, still in the squeaky voice, " A little help...maybe...please? "
" WOW! I can't believe it! " Gohan said happily as he walked through the front doors of
his school, " I haven't seen Vegeta in his 'superhero' get-up the whole DAY! Maybe he decided to
give up... " he smiled, then sweatdropped, " Vegeta "give up", yeah right, and Dad's gone on a
diet. Like that's what happened. " he joked to himself, then opened the door to his classroom
only to see the class's eyes glued to a TV at the front of the room.
" Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah! " the newscaster seemed to be saying as
Gohan peeked around the corner of the TV and gasped.
" OH NO!...IT CAN'T BE... " he said, shocked.
" If it weren't for the Masked Avenger averting the two trains from colliding, our fair
city would've had a MAJOR disaster on its hands! " the newscaster reported as in the small
in-screen to the upper-right the Masked Avenger could be shown holding up the two trains in
mid-air, " ISN'T THAT AMAZING FOLKS! " the other newscaster said, amazed as Vegeta started
juggling the two trains, " LOOK AT HIM GO! "
" I CAN'T BELIEVE HIM! He's putting all those passangers in danger! " Gohan said in his
superhero voice, then looked up to see the rest of the class staring at him oddly. He laughed
nervously.
Vegeta set down the two trains on differnet tracks as they went on their way.
" And THANK YOU Masked Avenger, I'd have to say, if you didn't count Hercule, the Masked
Avenger HAS to be THE strongest superhero our city has ever had the pleasure of hosting. " the
main newscaster said, " And now onto the other news... "
" ERRRRRRRRRRRRRrRRRrrRRrRRrrrrRRR... " Gohan growled, " VEGETA!!! " he screamed at the
TV at the top of his lungs, " IT'S NOT RIGHT! IT'S CRAZY! IT'S BIZZARE! IT'S DOWNRIGHT WEIRD!!! "
he waved his arms about in the air, " WHY IS HE DOING THIS TO ME! WHY HAS HE BECOME SO BENT ON
BECOMING BETTER AT CRIMEFIGHTING THAN ME JUST BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO BE "Kakarrot's" SON! IF I WAS
ANYBODY ELSE'S HE COULD CARE LESS! I DON'T WANT TO PICK A FIGHT WITH HIM! HE'S A MENTAL CASE! "
he screamed, " IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO'S STRONGER! " Gohan picked up his backpack, put it on, &
headed for the door.
" Where are you going? " the instructor asked him.
" I'm calling home, sick! " Gohan said in disqust as he left the room.
" Ugh...I hate to leave school but if I had to watch those newscasters praise Vegeta one
more time I was gonna puke. " Gohan said to himself as he walked down the streets of the city,
then watched as a little girl skipped by him, wearing a "Masked Avenger" t-shirt. Gohan froze,
then whipped around.
" WHAT'S _THAT_! " he gasped at the shirt. The little girl smiled.
" It's my "Masked Avenger" shirt, he's my hero! " she said happily, " He saved my brother
from that forest fire the other day! Isn't he the coolest! "
" "Coolest"....right. " Gohan said, " Umm, little girl, out of curiousity, where'd you
get the shirt? "
" There! " she smiled, pointing to the Satin City gift shop, filled with tons of "Masked
Avenger" memorabilia.
Gohan zipped over in front of the store & peered in through the window, " THEY MADE HIM
AN ACTION FIGURE! THEY NEVER MADE ANY ACTION FIGURES OF ME! "
" That's because you're not a superhero silly! " the little girl giggled.
" Oh yeah! Well, " he looked around, then whispered, " keep this a secret, but I'm the
Great Saiyaman. " he smirked, then paused for a reaction. The girl stared at him blankly.
" Who? " she said, confused. Gohan's jaw hung open.
" WHADDA YOU MEAN "who"! SURELY YOU'VE HEARD OF THE GREAT SAIYAMAN! YOU KNOW! DEFENDER
OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE! THE HERO OF THIS CITY! "
The little girl shook her head.
" COME ON! THEY MADE A MOVIE OUT OF ME! THEY RE-NAMED A STREET AFTER ME! LOOK! " he said,
then grabbed her by the wrist and ran over to the street corner to a sign. Gohan screeched to a
halt in front of it, shocked, " I...I can't believe it! " he stared at the street-sign, which now
read "Masked Avenger" Road, " THIS STREET IS SUPPOSED TO BE CALLED SAIYAMAN DRIVE! "
" They re-named it yesterday! " the little girl said, " They had a big ceremony and
everything! The Masked Avenger even cut the red-ribbon for the opening of the new gift shop! "
she said, pointing to the store across the street.
" He did it...he actually did it. Vegeta's beaten me. " Gohan said in a faraway voice,
" He's become the better superhero. He doesn't have a job, and, and I guess if he was doing it
instead I'd have more time for my homework...maybe I should just concede to him so he can become
the new offical town superhero....there's no use now. "
" HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT! " a voice said from behind him. Gohan turned around to see Videl,
" YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE IN JUST LIKE THAT BECAUSE OF SOME NEW GUY!! "
" He's not just some new guy, " Gohan explained, " His real name's Vegeta, he's a "buddy"
of my Dad's. He's got some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, all he's interested in is
becoming better than my Dad and everyone else blood-related to my Dad; namely me & my little
brother. " he said, " Since Dad died, he's gotten a lot worse. He's even been calling me Kakarrot
lately just out of habit. "
" Kakarrot? Who's Kakarrot? "
" And, unlike other things he's tried in the past to "surpass Kakarrot", this one is
actually helping people--saving lives and...he's just a much better hero than I am. He deserves
the town. " Gohan hung his head.
" Oh PLEASE! Come ON Gohan! Stop feeling so sorry for yourself! " Videl yelled at him,
" Just because he does things in a sleeker, suaver, faster, more sophisticated style doesn't make
him any better a hero than you! "
" Gee, thanks Videl, I feel a LOT better now. " Gohan said sarcastically.
" Uhm, oh-kay, maybe that wasn't the best choice of words. " Videl said, " But you have
stuff that that even the "Masked Avenger" doesn't have. "
" Like what? " Gohan said flatly.
" Well, you have a helmet with antenee on it...and, uhm, your own theme song and those
little, cheerleader moves you do along with it and... " she trailed off.
" He is cooler than me, isn't he. "
" Well, yes. " Videl said, " But who cares! Just because he has a street named after him
and a whole line of clothing and a bunch of toys made in his likeness doesn't make him more of
a hero than you. "
" It did wonders for your Dad. " Gohan sighed.
" Actually, he's pretty ticked off about the "Masked Avenger" as you are. He hardly gets
on the news anymore. " Videl said, " The news about the "Masked Avenger" is spreading around the
country like a disease!....and everybody loves him. They're even talking about a movie deal &
building a whole town in his name! "
" I CAN'T LET THEM DO THAT! " Gohan shouted out of nowhere, " VEGETA HAS THE BIGGEST EGO
ON THE ENTIRE PLANET! CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT HE WOULD DO IF EVERYBODY STARTED PRAISING HIM AND
BOWING AT HIS FEET AND NAMING PLACES AFTER HIM! HE'D TAKE OVER THE PLANET THAT'S WHAT HE'D DO!
WE'D ALL BE HIS SLAVES AND HE'D ORDER US AROUND ALL DAY! WELL I'M NOT GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN! "
he announced in his Saiyaman voice, then put his superhero costume on, " I'M GOING TO STOP HIM
IN HIS TRACKS RIGHT NOW! " he said, then flew off, leaving Videl standing in the middle of the
sidewalk.
" BUT GOHAN! WHO IS VEGETA ANYWAY! "
" Ahhh, how wonderful it is to be ME. " Vegeta sighed happily as he kicked open the front
door to Capsule Corp & walked inside, " Sometimes I wish I could be someone else just so I could
have the pleasure of knowing ME. " he grinned, his ego swelling like a grapefruit. He walked into
the living room, where Goten & Trunks were playing video games. At the sight of Vegeta, Trunks
gulped, then nudged Goten, who just continued playing his game.
" Greetings peasants, your King has returned. " Vegeta smiled contently.
" I thought you were a prince. " Trunks said, raising an eyebrow. Vegeta glared at him.
" And "I" thought you were the one who punched my inerds with a staff and ran off! " his
snapped at him. Trunks laughed nervously, then quickly turned back to the video game to see he
had just lost.
Goten grinned widely at him, " I WON! I WON! " he said in a sing-song voice, " Hey Uncle
Veggie, I won! "
" Good for you Kakarrot. " Vegeta said dryly then went past them into the kitchen.
" Kaka-who? " Goten said, glancing over at Trunks, baffled. Trunks shrugged, equally
confused.
Vegeta opened the door to the fridge & grabbed a Pepsi out of it. Then, he started to
open the can.
" *RING*RING*RING*! "
" AHH! " Vegeta shrieked, dropping the can to the ground, which leaked all over the floor
. Vegeta whimpered at the loss of his drink, then growled at the door and stomped over to it. He
flung it open to reveal a very angry Gohan standing in front of him.
" Whadda you want Kakarrot! " he said, putting his hands on his hips.
Goten glanced over at them, still very confused, " Kakarrot? But, I thought I was--- "
" My NAME is GOHAN. Or are you just having a senior moment and experiancing some memory
lapses, huh? " Gohan said, ticked off.
" Listen, either tell me why you're here, or leave. I only have 15 minutes of celebrating
time before I have to go back and cut the ribbon on another mini-mall, got it! " Vegeta said,
glancing down at his watch.
" THAT'S what I mean! " Gohan exclaimed, " VEGETA YOU'VE PRACTICALLY TAKEN OVER THE
ENTIRE CITY AND YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BLOWN ANYTHING UP! THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU! "
" Say, when you put it that way...I HAVE haven't I! " Vegeta grinned, " Wow. Even
Kakarrot doesn't have his own city.... " he mused.
" Oh brother... " Gohan groaned.
" Heh-heh-heh, yes, just think, today I'll rule the city, then the planet, then the
entire UNIVERSE! HAHA! " Vegeta laughed maniaclly.
" That's EXACTLY what I wanted to talk to you about. " Gohan said as-a-matter-of-factly,
" I want to know why YOU, of all people, decided he's start saving people and playing superhero
when he KNEW that the city he was using as a host already HAD its own superhero. "
" Simple, to show Kakarrot that I am, obviously, the better-suited of the two of us to
protect the city. " Vegeta said cooly.
Gohan looked at him like he had sprouted a third eye, " ...are you CRAZY! "Kakarrot"
ISN'T HERE! HE'S DEAD! HE'S GONE! HE'S-- "
" --right in front of me. " Vegeta nodded as Gohan glanced over to his right to face a
mirror. He paled, noticing how strikingly similar he looked compared to his father, " He's also
behind me. " Vegeta pointed to Goten, who was standing in back of Vegeta, eating a bag of
fish-chips.
" OOHHHHH! LISTEN YOU! " Gohan poked Vegeta in the chest, " WE'RE GOING TO SETTLE THIS
RIGHT NOW! YOU AND ME! OUTSIDE! NOW! "
" YOU want to fight ME? In front of all my loyal and loving peasants? " Vegeta said,
intreged, " Who do think they'll cheer for hmm? " he remarked.
::He's right, I'd just be making his ego bigger if I did that:: Gohan thought, ::but what
else can I do! I have to stop him in his tracks, but how?:: " Hmm, what would Dad do in this
situation? "
" Probably eat. " Vegeta said sarcastically, then smiled, reminicing, " Yeah, he'd be
sittin in the kitchen stuffing his face with food he got out of my refridgerator and then I'd go
in there and SLUG HIM ACROSS THE FACE! *sigh*, I kinda miss that stupid happy look on his face...
and the way he'd call me his little buddy and how he'd try so hard to cheer me up even when I
didn't want him too, and how he'd always greet me with his disqusting kako-germ-filled hugs... "
he said, putting his arms around each other. He sighed happily, " Mmm..Kaka-chan....oh-kay,
that's enough of that, now step outside so I can kick your butt. " Vegeta said, pointing out the
door.
" Oh NO. NO NO NO NO NO. I've changed my mind! " Gohan said sternly.
" Ooh, whatsa matter Kakarrot? Are ya scared? " Vegeta said, grinning widely.
" I'm GOHAN! "
" ...right, Gohan, right. Sorry. So, "Gohan", are ya scared? "
" NO! I've decided that fighting you isn't going to stop you. So I propose a contest.
The first one who can prevent the most problems and save the most people within the next 24 hours
gets to keep his job protecting the city and the other must turn in his costume and never fight
crime again! "
" ...so all I have to do is stop the biggest catastrophy? "
" Well...yes. " Gohan nodded. Vegeta held his hand out towards him.
" Kakarrot, you have yourself a deal. "

" Now how could you dream that, YOU WERE AWAKE! "
" Well, I either assumed it was that or I must've enhaled some of those toxic fumes
from the nuclear power plant on my way over here. " Vegeta said, pointing out the window.
" Nope! I'm real! "
" So...you're here to play concience with me again? "
" Hmm? OH! No, he got better. " Goku said as Vegeta's concience appeared above him, a
miniture version of himself in an angel costume.
" Welcome back butterball. " the concience smirked, then disappeared.
" He never liked me...at least not since I mailed him to Aruba for making me be nice
to YOU. " Vegeta stuck out his tongue.
" So, ya wanna know what I'm doing now? " Goku said excitedly.
" No. "
" Come on! It's REALLLLY cool! Much cooler than the last job! " he said in a sing-song
voice.
" No. "
" I'll give ya a hint. It has to do with FISHHHHHHH... "
" ... "
" ... "
" In that case I don't want to even know. " Vegeta grumbled.
" Awww, Veggie! Hey! I'll give ya a lifeline, how about that! " Goku said, then snapped
his fingers as they instantly appeared in the two chairs in the "Who Wants to Be a Millonaire"
studio, " So what'll it be! Phone-a-friend? Ask-the-audiance? 50/50? "
" How about Send-me-back-home. " Vegeta glared at Goku, who quickly pulled a little
blue card out of his pocket.
" Oh-key do-key! Here's the choices! "
" Oh joy. " Vegeta remarked sarcastically.
" Son Goku's new part time job having do with fish IS: A) Aquatic swimming instructor,
B) A fish Superhero, C) A sushi-chef, or D) Mackerel massage therapist! "
Vegeta rolled his eyes, " HOW ABOUT E) I DON'T CARE! " he screamed, then blinked to see
they had reappeared back in Vegeta's 'throne room'; Goku sniffling.
" Fine, be that way, I don't care. " Goku rubbed his nose, disappointed, " I'm leaving. "
he cried sadly.
" Yes Kakarrot, thanks for the guilt, now get outta here. " Vegeta pointed towards the
door as Goku sluggishly waddled off towards it, then paused.
" OH! WAIT! " he pounded one of his fists ontop of the other, " I forgot. You weren't
supposed to see me just now. " he grinned, then put his pointer finger in front of Vegeta's face,
" Now watch very closely Veggie! " Goku instructed, then gave him a small smile. Vegeta watched
him quietly for a few seconds, then shrieked and fell back as two humongous, beautiful white
wings burst out of his back. He pulled some sparkily dust off one of them & held it tight in a
fist, " I gotta knock you out for a little while oh-kay Vedge-head? " he said happily as Vegeta
sat there in front of him, baffled.
" You..you..I GOTTA BE DREAMING THIS! " Vegeta screamed at Goku, " YOU'RE NOT HERE! AND
YOU DON'T HAVE..HAVE...THOSE _THINGS_!!! " he said, pointing at Goku's wings.
" Yes I do silly! They have hypnotic powers too, wanna see? " he said as he flapped them
once; Vegeta now staring at them like a confused drooling idiot, " Hey, that worked faster than
I thought. " Goku said to himself, impressed, then tossed the dust into the air & disappeared,
" Bye-bye little buddy! CYA later! "
" And he's been sitting here like this for at least 3 hours now! " Goten explained to
Trunks as they examined Vegeta, who was still in the same spot in
hypnotized-confused-drooling-idiot mode.
" Whoa. Bizzare. " Trunks said, surprised, then grinned impishly, " Let's poke him. "
" Why? " Goten asked.
" It's an ancient gypsy trick, I saw it on an infomercial. To test if somebody is still
alive you grab a rod. " he looked around the room, then picked up Vegeta's scepter, " And you
poke um! "
" Poke um? Poke um where? " Goten exclaimed.
" I'm glad you asked that question Goten. " Trunks smirked, then pulled the rod back like
he was playing pool, " Now watch and learn my friend. " he said, then thrust the rod forward...
and hitting Vegeta in the croch. Vegeta screamed out in pain and fell down sideways, whimpering
like a little girl.
" Trunks... " he growled in a squeaky voice as he grabbed his son by the collar & pulled
him down, " WHAT do you think...you're...doing! "
" Uh, uh-- " Trunks gulped as Vegeta went SSJ2.
" Whuh, what'll we do NOW! " Goten said nervously.
" Another ancient gypsy trick buddy. " Trunks bravely re-assured him, " It's called...
RUNNING AWAY!!! " he screamed as the boys did just that, leaving Vegeta on his side on the floor
of the throne room, his privates still throbbing with pain. He glanced up the stairs.
" Boys? Boys? " he said, still in the squeaky voice, " A little help...maybe...please? "
" WOW! I can't believe it! " Gohan said happily as he walked through the front doors of
his school, " I haven't seen Vegeta in his 'superhero' get-up the whole DAY! Maybe he decided to
give up... " he smiled, then sweatdropped, " Vegeta "give up", yeah right, and Dad's gone on a
diet. Like that's what happened. " he joked to himself, then opened the door to his classroom
only to see the class's eyes glued to a TV at the front of the room.
" Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah! " the newscaster seemed to be saying as
Gohan peeked around the corner of the TV and gasped.
" OH NO!...IT CAN'T BE... " he said, shocked.
" If it weren't for the Masked Avenger averting the two trains from colliding, our fair
city would've had a MAJOR disaster on its hands! " the newscaster reported as in the small
in-screen to the upper-right the Masked Avenger could be shown holding up the two trains in
mid-air, " ISN'T THAT AMAZING FOLKS! " the other newscaster said, amazed as Vegeta started
juggling the two trains, " LOOK AT HIM GO! "
" I CAN'T BELIEVE HIM! He's putting all those passangers in danger! " Gohan said in his
superhero voice, then looked up to see the rest of the class staring at him oddly. He laughed
nervously.
Vegeta set down the two trains on differnet tracks as they went on their way.
" And THANK YOU Masked Avenger, I'd have to say, if you didn't count Hercule, the Masked
Avenger HAS to be THE strongest superhero our city has ever had the pleasure of hosting. " the
main newscaster said, " And now onto the other news... "
" ERRRRRRRRRRRRRrRRRrrRRrRRrrrrRRR... " Gohan growled, " VEGETA!!! " he screamed at the
TV at the top of his lungs, " IT'S NOT RIGHT! IT'S CRAZY! IT'S BIZZARE! IT'S DOWNRIGHT WEIRD!!! "
he waved his arms about in the air, " WHY IS HE DOING THIS TO ME! WHY HAS HE BECOME SO BENT ON
BECOMING BETTER AT CRIMEFIGHTING THAN ME JUST BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO BE "Kakarrot's" SON! IF I WAS
ANYBODY ELSE'S HE COULD CARE LESS! I DON'T WANT TO PICK A FIGHT WITH HIM! HE'S A MENTAL CASE! "
he screamed, " IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO'S STRONGER! " Gohan picked up his backpack, put it on, &
headed for the door.
" Where are you going? " the instructor asked him.
" I'm calling home, sick! " Gohan said in disqust as he left the room.
" Ugh...I hate to leave school but if I had to watch those newscasters praise Vegeta one
more time I was gonna puke. " Gohan said to himself as he walked down the streets of the city,
then watched as a little girl skipped by him, wearing a "Masked Avenger" t-shirt. Gohan froze,
then whipped around.
" WHAT'S _THAT_! " he gasped at the shirt. The little girl smiled.
" It's my "Masked Avenger" shirt, he's my hero! " she said happily, " He saved my brother
from that forest fire the other day! Isn't he the coolest! "
" "Coolest"....right. " Gohan said, " Umm, little girl, out of curiousity, where'd you
get the shirt? "
" There! " she smiled, pointing to the Satin City gift shop, filled with tons of "Masked
Avenger" memorabilia.
Gohan zipped over in front of the store & peered in through the window, " THEY MADE HIM
AN ACTION FIGURE! THEY NEVER MADE ANY ACTION FIGURES OF ME! "
" That's because you're not a superhero silly! " the little girl giggled.
" Oh yeah! Well, " he looked around, then whispered, " keep this a secret, but I'm the
Great Saiyaman. " he smirked, then paused for a reaction. The girl stared at him blankly.
" Who? " she said, confused. Gohan's jaw hung open.
" WHADDA YOU MEAN "who"! SURELY YOU'VE HEARD OF THE GREAT SAIYAMAN! YOU KNOW! DEFENDER
OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE! THE HERO OF THIS CITY! "
The little girl shook her head.
" COME ON! THEY MADE A MOVIE OUT OF ME! THEY RE-NAMED A STREET AFTER ME! LOOK! " he said,
then grabbed her by the wrist and ran over to the street corner to a sign. Gohan screeched to a
halt in front of it, shocked, " I...I can't believe it! " he stared at the street-sign, which now
read "Masked Avenger" Road, " THIS STREET IS SUPPOSED TO BE CALLED SAIYAMAN DRIVE! "
" They re-named it yesterday! " the little girl said, " They had a big ceremony and
everything! The Masked Avenger even cut the red-ribbon for the opening of the new gift shop! "
she said, pointing to the store across the street.
" He did it...he actually did it. Vegeta's beaten me. " Gohan said in a faraway voice,
" He's become the better superhero. He doesn't have a job, and, and I guess if he was doing it
instead I'd have more time for my homework...maybe I should just concede to him so he can become
the new offical town superhero....there's no use now. "
" HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT! " a voice said from behind him. Gohan turned around to see Videl,
" YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE IN JUST LIKE THAT BECAUSE OF SOME NEW GUY!! "
" He's not just some new guy, " Gohan explained, " His real name's Vegeta, he's a "buddy"
of my Dad's. He's got some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, all he's interested in is
becoming better than my Dad and everyone else blood-related to my Dad; namely me & my little
brother. " he said, " Since Dad died, he's gotten a lot worse. He's even been calling me Kakarrot
lately just out of habit. "
" Kakarrot? Who's Kakarrot? "
" And, unlike other things he's tried in the past to "surpass Kakarrot", this one is
actually helping people--saving lives and...he's just a much better hero than I am. He deserves
the town. " Gohan hung his head.
" Oh PLEASE! Come ON Gohan! Stop feeling so sorry for yourself! " Videl yelled at him,
" Just because he does things in a sleeker, suaver, faster, more sophisticated style doesn't make
him any better a hero than you! "
" Gee, thanks Videl, I feel a LOT better now. " Gohan said sarcastically.
" Uhm, oh-kay, maybe that wasn't the best choice of words. " Videl said, " But you have
stuff that that even the "Masked Avenger" doesn't have. "
" Like what? " Gohan said flatly.
" Well, you have a helmet with antenee on it...and, uhm, your own theme song and those
little, cheerleader moves you do along with it and... " she trailed off.
" He is cooler than me, isn't he. "
" Well, yes. " Videl said, " But who cares! Just because he has a street named after him
and a whole line of clothing and a bunch of toys made in his likeness doesn't make him more of
a hero than you. "
" It did wonders for your Dad. " Gohan sighed.
" Actually, he's pretty ticked off about the "Masked Avenger" as you are. He hardly gets
on the news anymore. " Videl said, " The news about the "Masked Avenger" is spreading around the
country like a disease!....and everybody loves him. They're even talking about a movie deal &
building a whole town in his name! "
" I CAN'T LET THEM DO THAT! " Gohan shouted out of nowhere, " VEGETA HAS THE BIGGEST EGO
ON THE ENTIRE PLANET! CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT HE WOULD DO IF EVERYBODY STARTED PRAISING HIM AND
BOWING AT HIS FEET AND NAMING PLACES AFTER HIM! HE'D TAKE OVER THE PLANET THAT'S WHAT HE'D DO!
WE'D ALL BE HIS SLAVES AND HE'D ORDER US AROUND ALL DAY! WELL I'M NOT GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN! "
he announced in his Saiyaman voice, then put his superhero costume on, " I'M GOING TO STOP HIM
IN HIS TRACKS RIGHT NOW! " he said, then flew off, leaving Videl standing in the middle of the
sidewalk.
" BUT GOHAN! WHO IS VEGETA ANYWAY! "
" Ahhh, how wonderful it is to be ME. " Vegeta sighed happily as he kicked open the front
door to Capsule Corp & walked inside, " Sometimes I wish I could be someone else just so I could
have the pleasure of knowing ME. " he grinned, his ego swelling like a grapefruit. He walked into
the living room, where Goten & Trunks were playing video games. At the sight of Vegeta, Trunks
gulped, then nudged Goten, who just continued playing his game.
" Greetings peasants, your King has returned. " Vegeta smiled contently.
" I thought you were a prince. " Trunks said, raising an eyebrow. Vegeta glared at him.
" And "I" thought you were the one who punched my inerds with a staff and ran off! " his
snapped at him. Trunks laughed nervously, then quickly turned back to the video game to see he
had just lost.
Goten grinned widely at him, " I WON! I WON! " he said in a sing-song voice, " Hey Uncle
Veggie, I won! "
" Good for you Kakarrot. " Vegeta said dryly then went past them into the kitchen.
" Kaka-who? " Goten said, glancing over at Trunks, baffled. Trunks shrugged, equally
confused.
Vegeta opened the door to the fridge & grabbed a Pepsi out of it. Then, he started to
open the can.
" *RING*RING*RING*! "
" AHH! " Vegeta shrieked, dropping the can to the ground, which leaked all over the floor
. Vegeta whimpered at the loss of his drink, then growled at the door and stomped over to it. He
flung it open to reveal a very angry Gohan standing in front of him.
" Whadda you want Kakarrot! " he said, putting his hands on his hips.
Goten glanced over at them, still very confused, " Kakarrot? But, I thought I was--- "
" My NAME is GOHAN. Or are you just having a senior moment and experiancing some memory
lapses, huh? " Gohan said, ticked off.
" Listen, either tell me why you're here, or leave. I only have 15 minutes of celebrating
time before I have to go back and cut the ribbon on another mini-mall, got it! " Vegeta said,
glancing down at his watch.
" THAT'S what I mean! " Gohan exclaimed, " VEGETA YOU'VE PRACTICALLY TAKEN OVER THE
ENTIRE CITY AND YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BLOWN ANYTHING UP! THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU! "
" Say, when you put it that way...I HAVE haven't I! " Vegeta grinned, " Wow. Even
Kakarrot doesn't have his own city.... " he mused.
" Oh brother... " Gohan groaned.
" Heh-heh-heh, yes, just think, today I'll rule the city, then the planet, then the
entire UNIVERSE! HAHA! " Vegeta laughed maniaclly.
" That's EXACTLY what I wanted to talk to you about. " Gohan said as-a-matter-of-factly,
" I want to know why YOU, of all people, decided he's start saving people and playing superhero
when he KNEW that the city he was using as a host already HAD its own superhero. "
" Simple, to show Kakarrot that I am, obviously, the better-suited of the two of us to
protect the city. " Vegeta said cooly.
Gohan looked at him like he had sprouted a third eye, " ...are you CRAZY! "Kakarrot"
ISN'T HERE! HE'S DEAD! HE'S GONE! HE'S-- "
" --right in front of me. " Vegeta nodded as Gohan glanced over to his right to face a
mirror. He paled, noticing how strikingly similar he looked compared to his father, " He's also
behind me. " Vegeta pointed to Goten, who was standing in back of Vegeta, eating a bag of
fish-chips.
" OOHHHHH! LISTEN YOU! " Gohan poked Vegeta in the chest, " WE'RE GOING TO SETTLE THIS
RIGHT NOW! YOU AND ME! OUTSIDE! NOW! "
" YOU want to fight ME? In front of all my loyal and loving peasants? " Vegeta said,
intreged, " Who do think they'll cheer for hmm? " he remarked.
::He's right, I'd just be making his ego bigger if I did that:: Gohan thought, ::but what
else can I do! I have to stop him in his tracks, but how?:: " Hmm, what would Dad do in this
situation? "
" Probably eat. " Vegeta said sarcastically, then smiled, reminicing, " Yeah, he'd be
sittin in the kitchen stuffing his face with food he got out of my refridgerator and then I'd go
in there and SLUG HIM ACROSS THE FACE! *sigh*, I kinda miss that stupid happy look on his face...
and the way he'd call me his little buddy and how he'd try so hard to cheer me up even when I
didn't want him too, and how he'd always greet me with his disqusting kako-germ-filled hugs... "
he said, putting his arms around each other. He sighed happily, " Mmm..Kaka-chan....oh-kay,
that's enough of that, now step outside so I can kick your butt. " Vegeta said, pointing out the
door.
" Oh NO. NO NO NO NO NO. I've changed my mind! " Gohan said sternly.
" Ooh, whatsa matter Kakarrot? Are ya scared? " Vegeta said, grinning widely.
" I'm GOHAN! "
" ...right, Gohan, right. Sorry. So, "Gohan", are ya scared? "
" NO! I've decided that fighting you isn't going to stop you. So I propose a contest.
The first one who can prevent the most problems and save the most people within the next 24 hours
gets to keep his job protecting the city and the other must turn in his costume and never fight
crime again! "
" ...so all I have to do is stop the biggest catastrophy? "
" Well...yes. " Gohan nodded. Vegeta held his hand out towards him.
" Kakarrot, you have yourself a deal. "
