Ch. 5 The Red Shark Gang rolls into town...
Gohan had managed to convince his mother that he could still fight crime, with the solution he and Piccolo came up with, and keep his studies up. Still, his ears rang continously throughout the remainder of the day as a result of his confession of the day's events.
Gohan was, in fact, flying around in his superhero outfit right this second, pondering the mysteries of life. (A.N. Yeah, right!!)
He was actually debating with himself whether or not he should go get some breakfast. His stomach was on the verge of convincing him when he spotted a large yellow object in the corner of his eye.
*It's Videl.* thought Gohan, *There goes my breakfast.* Gohan sighed.
Gohan decided to have a little fun with the girl. Picking up his speed, he began to fly straight towards the clouds.
***
Videl frowned as she watched the Gold Fighter begin to fly towards the heavens. *So, he thinks he can outrun my copter? He's got another thing coming!!*
Videl pulled the stick back on her copter, and began to pursue the superhero.
*I've got you now!* she thought triumphantly as she emerged through the cloud cover, with the Gold Fighter right in front of her.
***
Gohan grinned when Videl emerged from the clouds. He knew he could leave her in the dust, but, he was having too much fun.
Gohan then increased his speed greatly, and began to fly an evasive course. He laughed when he saw Videl's jet-copter struggle to keep up to him.
***
Videl was fuming. *How the hell does he move that fast!!* thought Videl.
Suddenly, the Gold Fighter just stopped. Videl gasped, then slammed on her brakes. She barely avoided a collision with the superhero.
*Jesus!!* She thought, and tried to stop her fast-beating heart. "You jackass!! Who the hell do you think you are!?!" She yelled to his grinning face.
Finally, the Gold Fighter quit grinning. Now, a deep scowl that made Videl shiver, covered his face. "Who the HELL do YOU think YOU are!?!?!?! I have as much a right to privacy as the next person!! I haven't even done anything wrong yet!!" he screamed back.
Videl frowned. She knew his argument was valid, but something about him just struck her as wrong. Before she could open her mouth to voice this opinion, he cut her off.
"Fuck it, I've got better things to do than screw around with you!!" he yelled. Videl blinked, and he was gone.
*Where the hell . . .?* Videl thought. Then, she looked at her watch. She groaned. *I'm over two hours late for school!!*
***
Gohan was unsurprised as Videl suddenly rushed in the classroom. He'd known all along why she was late. Still, he acted like everyone else. He raised his head like Erasa and Sharpener and gave her a questioning glance, then resumed his normal school stupor.
***
Videl was still fuming at the Gold Fighter. Still, she knew she could find out if the Gold Fighter did indeed come to her school by asking Erasa if anyone was late. Erasa was always sniffing out possible secret relationships, especially ones that involved coincidenting absences and late arrivals.
Videl sank into her seat with a heavy sigh. She felt incredibly tired for some reason. She'd probably used up too much energy trying to catch the Gold Fighter.
She waited about ten minutes, then, in a seemingly casual air, turned to Erasa. "So, was anyone else late besides me?" she asked. Despite the air of boredom that surrounded her, she was in fact watching the whole room for any strange reaction.
Erasa nodded. "Yeah, as a matter of fact, Gohan was about five minutes late to class." said Erasa.
Videl's wandering eyes snapped straight at Erasa. "Gohan was only five minutes late? Nobody else?"
Erasa shook her head. "Nope, just Gohan." she replied.
Videl blinked. She knew if anybody was late, Erasa would know about it.
*Guess he doesn't go to school here after all. Gohan, apparently, is not the Gold Fighter, unless I was hallucinating.* thought Videl.
Videl's thoughts were interrupted by an all-too-familiar beep coming from her watch. Clicking the all-too-familiar button, she spoke.
"Yes, this is Videl. What's up chief?" asked Videl.
"Videl, a number of men calling themselves the Red Shark Gang have taken the mayor hostage. Their leader apparently wants to have a fight with your father, but we can't find him! You're our next best hope! They've also set up a barricade so we can't hit 'em with snipers!"
"I'll be right there. Just hold on." said Videl.
Five seconds later, Gohan merely watched as she ran to the door. He'd heard everything the chief said, but remained where he was. He knew the situation was well in hand.
***
(A.N. Maybe you haven't noticed, but the two henchmen from the gang that we meet, when Gohan gets punched in the face, are both named jim in some form or fashion. Therefore, I named the leader Big Jim as a reference.)
Big Jim cocked his head to the side. He'd been waiting over an hour for that cowardly bastard, Hercule to show his sorry ass.
Finally, he got tired of waiting. Signaling to one of his men, he pointed at one of the cop cars. "I don't ever want to see that car again. Just make sure one of those dumbass snipers doesn't put a bullet through your head."
The man nodded, then ventured a little out of the barricade with his bazooka.
Raising his voice, Big Jim called out, "Hey, pigs! Here's a little love letter from the Red Shark Gang for not bringing that stupid son of a bitch you call Hercule!"
His man raised the bazooka and fired without any further ceremony. The car went sailing ten feet in the air, flipped, and landed with bone-crushing force on the street.
A dazed-looking cop crawled out of the wreckage, cradling a broken arm. Otherwise he appeared unharmed.
Big Jim waited another ten minutes, and was about to order another car blown up, when a large yellow skycopter landed on the opposite side of the barricade.
"Alright, boys, get ready for action." said Big Jim. A good many of them snickered. Big Jim was surprised that Hercule had enough balls to show up.
***
Videl ran out of her 'copter, then jumped over the barricade without a single thought.
Standing at her full height, she glared at the large man she assumed was the leader. She glanced at the mayor, who was tied up with a knife at his throat.
"I suggest you let him go. Otherwise, I'll kick all of your asses."
She let her hardened gaze float over all the gang members. Her eyes snapped back to the large man, who was laughing.
"Ha! Someone, please, tell me who this little bitch jokester thinks she is!" laughed the large man.
"Boss, that's Hercule's daughter, Videl Satan." said the man Videl recognized as Jimbo.
Another man, whom Videl recognized from the chief's descriptions, to be Slim Jim, spoke up. "What me to take this bitch on, Boss?" asked Slim Jim.
"No, I'll take care of the Satan spawn myself." said Big Jim.
Big Jim rose out of his seat and walked up to Videl. He had to look down a lot, because he was at least twice the height of Videl.
"So, little girl, where is that pansy ass father of yours?" asked Big Jim.
"Look, my father's a busy man, so you'll just have to put up with me instead." Videl smirked as she spoke.
"Fine then. If I have to beat the shit out of you to get your father out here, then so be it. But, because I'm a good sport, I'll let you have a free hit." said Big Jim.
Videl's smirk grew, then she aimed a roundhouse kick at Big Jim's head. He took the blow right on his cheek, snapping his head to the side.
Grinning all the more, Big Jim turned to Videl and said, "If that's the best you can do, I suggest you run and get your father."
Videl dropped her smirk, and dropped into a fighting stance. Before she could launch a second attack, however,
one of the gang members fired his weapon at her feet.
She had to 'dance' to keep from having her feet shot off.
She didn't see Big Jim coming until it was too late.
With a grunt, he threw his tightened fist straight at her face. It was the last thing she saw before everything went black.
***
Big Jim felt satisfied. That had been a nice little warmup. Still, he'd have to ask his men to refrain from shooting at Hercule. He wanted to have the dumbass begging for mercy before he killed him.
***
The mayor was in shock. *We're all doomed!!* He thought. He just knew he was going to die here. With Videl unconscious, and Hercule nowhere in sight, the gang had no use for him.
It was kind of sad. He'd actually had so much more plans for making the city better. It looked like they would never happen now.
Out of nowhere, a large glowing object hit the middle of the parking lot, in between Big Jim and the mayor. The shock wave threw everyone to their feet for the surrounding two miles.
When the mayor finally regainded his full senses, he looked at the impact crater. (A.N. If any of you have seen Zoids, imagine the Judge's entrance.) The moment he saw the spiky blond hair, he felt more relieved than any other point in his life.
It was indeed the Gold Fighter who levitated out of the crater. The mayor sighed. Now, he felt kind of sorry for the Red Shark Gang.
***
Gohan didn't take to long to assess the situation. From the looks of it, Videl had gotten in over her head. She was good for an untrained human fighter, but you needed a lot of energy to be bulletproof, and Videl simply didn't have it.
He turned to the largest man he saw there. At the same time, the man turned to him.
"Who the hell are you!?!" asked, no, demanded the man.
"You can just think of me as the one who's gonna hurt you." said Gohan.
"Fuck you, you blonde bastard. Hey boys!" the man called, and all of his men looked up. "Shut this guy the fuck up!!"
As one, the men all nodded. Pulling out several guns, they all aimed and fired. Unfortunately for them, Gohan was no longer there.
Moving faster than the human eye can follow, he moved behind a fat gangster, and gave the man a light pat on the back. A light tap for Gohan, however, sent the man sailing into the barricade.
A few light taps later, and almost the entire gang was out cold, except Big Jim.
Gohan turned to the large man.
"Are you going to give up, or do I have to hurt you too?" he asked.
Big Jim snarled, then charged straight at Gohan with an upraised fist. Gohan sighed. At that moment, Big Jim brought his fist crashing towards Gohan's head. He didn't block.
Big Jim's fist hit with bone-crushing force. Unfortunately for him, it was his bones that were crushed as his fist crumpled like aluminum foil.
"You son of a bitch!" he screamed.
Gohan frowned, then punched Big Jim in the gut. The blow sent him sailing through the barricade. When he landed on the other side, he attempted to rise. With a heavy grunt, Big Jim lifted his upper body, sagged, and lay still on the asphault.
Gohan sighed. That hadn't taken a lot. He turned, and walked over to Videl to make sure she was okay.
***
Videl was slowly becoming aware of her surroundings. As the spots cleared from her eyes, she recalled the leader of the gang and what he had done. All of a sudden, she became aware of the blue eyes and golden hair that were very close to her.
She blushed when she realized that it was the Gold Fighter. He was standing extremely close and not saying a thing.
Finally, she broke the silence. "You bastard! What the hell do you think you're doing so close to me!?!" she screamed. Whipping her hand around, she slapped at his face.
He caught her hand before it connected.
"I see you're alright. I think I'll leave now. However, I suggest that unless you find a way to become bulletproof, you refrain from fighting a group of men with assault rifles and bazookas." he said.
He dropped her hand, stood up, and turned away. Without another word, Gohan flew off.
Videl was still blushing, furious at him for doing her job, and for making her feel weak.
*Damn him and damn these hormones!* she screamed in her mind. Outwardly, she sighed and went to help the mayor, who was still tied up.
A.N. Konnichiwa, everybody! It may have taken me forever, but I came out with another chapter. That little spark of inspiration that got this fic started, well, it decided to jump ahead to the Tenkiachi Budokai.
By the way...
...The contest is over!! The winner is...Whiz Kid!!! The moment I saw that name, I liked it. So a saiyan boy named Brandu will be in my next fic.
To xT-Zealot: I already know what I'm going to do, thanks. I appreciated the input.
To Sorceress Fujin: Here you go.
To Syaoran's Blossom: Your welcome for no Saiyaman.
To Chibi Kenie: Thanks for all the suggestions, but I prefer not to think of the whole Saiyan race as vegetables.
To Anonymoose: What the fuck was that about internal organs!?! I really wish you guys would check my errors. I don't have anyone to do it for me, and I expect you to comb the fic. Oh, and there's no such thing as perfect. It's just an ill-concieved idea.
To Lauren Williams: I'm going to make Gohan a little OOC.
To Nighthalk008: Thanks for the suggestions.
To Jenn: I know how what I'm going to do with Gohan. Thanks for the input. Oh, and Videl did it unconciously.
To edward-tivrusky-5: Thanks for your support.
To Jimbo Jones: Thanks for the suggestion.
To A-man: Another chapter here, and I give a damn about the mistakes.
To Duo: Thanks for the support, but please be more specific when defining mistakes.
To Saturn-Hime: Well, they wouldn't be annoying if you let me know about them so I could correct them.
To Jeril Dragonsoul: Thank you for your support.
To Raksha: You could say that it's just conditioning from his mom, but I like to think of it as an uncertain creature exposed to a different enviroment.
To GohanPimp: What the fuck kind of name is that!?! Anywho, it becomes more interesting with correct grammar and spelling. There's nothing I've found more annoying in a fic is a misspelling.
To cubeviper: I fully intend to finish this story.
To Cutsy: I cannot fault you for not caring about the mistakes, however, I hate them, and would appreciate any notification
from the readers.
To Articuno: I care about the mistakes, but thanks for your support.
To Naso: Thanks.
To gerrys giant green grassmonkey: I dunno, has Piccolo even taught him that??
To Drunken Gohan: Thanks.
To Whiz Kid: You really are a Whiz Kid!! I love that name. If you got it from a vegetable, don't tell me.
To melissa: As much as the idea is appealing, it doesn't fit into my story.
