On October 19th, I got to see an incredible show! The dojo that I train at had a thing called "West Wind Bok-fu Black Belt Demonstration". There were awesome weapons katas, stunt board breaking, and a 10 round boxing match between Keith Sheppard and Jonathan Estes. (They went all ten rounds, and the win was by seven points or something)

God as my witness was it ever awesome! I encourage you the reader to get into martial arts. It is really incredible the way it helps with all aspects of life, not just physical fitness.

Chapter 4:

A gathering at the Sons! Beware of Blather mouths, Gohan!

~~The Son Residence~~

Goku slurped up another king-size bowl of Ramen and sent it to his black hole of a stomach. Goten and Trunks played a video game in Goten's room. Chichi unloaded yet another plethora of dishes from her newly acquired dishwasher; a gift from Lunch and Tenshinhan. Goku ate at the same time as he carried on a conversation with some friends who dropped by for lunch. The littlest one was with Goten and Trunks. It seemed that she had found a cavern that Goku knew well, and thus the conversation became much more delightful.

"…And it was in that place I found a Giant octopus and ate him for dinner!"

"Really? An entire Giant Octopus?" Juuhachigou asked with a Sweatdrop "Those things are bigger than elephants…"

"Yeah!" said Goku "an' it was right in that cave you guys are talking about!"

Kuririn smiled at old memories "You mean that Marron's favorite scuba spot is where we fought Blue Shogun? I never would have guessed!" (1)

"Hey, that reminds me!" said Kame Sennin "Where did that old diamond go? We never did sell it, you know."

"I totally forgot about that!" said Kuririn. He heard chopper blades "What is that?"

Goten came jumping into the room "Niichan is home! That's his Ki!"

Goten opened the door with Goku next to him. To their surprise, not only Gohan, but three other people were there too. Goten recognized one of them and jumped up like a rabbit to hug her.

"Videl san!" he chirped

Videl rubbed Goten's hair "Hey Goten-chan!"

Ireeza squealed and picked up Goten "Oh, Gohan! Is this your brother? He is so Cyuute!!! You really are a cutie pie, aren't you?"

"Sure am!" boasted Goten

Sharpener crossed his arms and entered "For a guy who won the Tenkaichi Budoukai, I expected a bigger place."

"We prefer our atmosphere humble and peaceful" said Gohan truthfully "Besides, if we need another room we always have Hoi-Poi capsules. You see-" Gohan stopped as he realized his friend wasn't paying attention. His eyes were sparkling and his hands were trembling. He looked like he'd just seen Kami Sama or something.

Sharpener looked in awe at the man in the Orange Gi "It's…it's you!" he stammered "Son Goku! It really is Son Goku!"

Gohan blanched "What? He's home…? Here comes indiscretion…" he thought "hey dad, I thought you were sparring with Vegeta!"

"I'm taking a lunch break. " said Goku "I know Videl, but who're these guys?"

"This is Sharpener, and this is Ireeza" said Gohan "Sharpener, as you may notice by his moon-eyes, has always wanted to meet you."

Goku shook Sharpener's hand "It's great to know I have a fan out there! Most people practically worship Mister Satan. When did you first hear about me?"

"Well when--" Sharpener began,, but Goku cut him off

"Wait, there's no need." said he; he put his hand on Sharpener's head "I forgot that I could do this!"

Goku concentrated "Ah, I see. You were born in a village just north of here to a woman named Rii. From her you learned of Oolong and the time she spent living with him with two other girls. The story went that a monkey tailed boy defeated Oolong, and then took him along with a blue haired teenager on his magic cloud. You were born shortly after the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai, the one I won. When you and Rii saw how the kids in the 24th were more promising than the adults, Rii reminisced about a man named Son Goku. That was the first time you heard the name. You researched with the help of Ray Dio Announcer. He gave you copies of the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd Archival videos to watch. You watched them in awe as you first saw a mere child defeat a huge Pterador, followed by a tall Western Desert man, and then only barely lose to Jackie Chun. The 22nd amazed you further, and then the 23rd. Even after Cell was defeated, you still felt that Goku was the greatest, and that he would have made shorter work of Cell than Satan did." (2)

"h-how did you…"

"I've been able to do that ever since I went to Nam-"

"DAD!" cried Gohan

"What? Was the fact that you and I have been to space supposed to be a secret?"

Videl, Sharpener and Ireeza turned to Gohan "YOU'VE BEEN TO SPACE??"

Gohan blushed and laughed nervously enough to make Don Knotts jealous "Yeah…I was five when it happened…" Gohan pleaded in his heart "Please don't let him say anything about Dragonballs…"

"So you were in the Junior Space cadets before they were forced to disband?" asked Ireeza

Gohan liked the idea of a cover story "Uh, yeah…we only went to one planet…"

"So, what planet was it?" asked Videl

"Namek-sei!" said Goku

"What? Is that the tenth planet?" asked Videl

"No, it's in another Solar System" said Gohan in defeat "We traveled there on a ship that could go faster than light. It was from Namek-sei to begin with"

"so how was it?" asked Ireeza with a cheery voice

"Very pretty" admitted Gohan

Goku crossed his arms "And if it hadn't been for that damned Furiza, it might still be there!"

Gohan screamed and fainted "No…no…agony…indiscretions…" of course, nobody knew what the heck he was doing. (3)

Videl scratched her chin "A great deal of stellar bodies vanished from the charts many years ago. The last one occurred when Gohan and I would have been five."

Goku shook his head "Furiza…he destroyed many planets…including--"

Gohan jumped up "ARRRRRGGGHHH!"

"What?"

Gohan whispered to Goku in perfect Saiya-jin "I don't want them to know about Saiya-jin yet!"

"oh! Is that all? What about the dragon balls?"

"NO!"

"Videl knows about them don't she?"

"Yes, but she's technically a Z-familiar!"

"What about Ireeza? I'd think she'd know a little bit about the D-balls already…"

"What the heck does that mean?"

"You will find out in time…"

"Dende…Piccolo…Karin…Roshi…mom…Vegeta…you…my Teacher of English…everyone I know speaks in riddles!"

"hey, Goku sama" said Sharpener "You were saying?"

"Oh!" Goku laughed and Son Scratched "he destroyed many planets including…Planet X!"

Gohan sweatdropped, for he knew Goku just heard that from some movie about a golden three headed monster who came to Earth to fight a gray reptile monster and a giant brown Pteranodon (4). But he still found that answer to be better than "my home planet, Vegeta".

"You mean there really was a Planet X?" asked Videl

"Well, yeah!" said Goku

"No wonder scientists have yet to discover its location!" Exclaimed Ireeza "It's been destroyed all along!"

Videl still looked suspiciously at Gohan. Ireeza and Sharpener easily bought the Planet X Story, but she felt Gohan knew more than he was letting on.

Trunks came running in "Come on, Goten! Black Knight can only wait so long to blast Blue Ninja into the next dimension! And that's no metaphor; I plan to use his Portal Fatality!"

Goten Son Grinned and jumped from his perch "Oh yeah? What makes you think you're gonna win?"

The chibis ran back into Goten's room, and the badly recorded sounds of a fighting game began.

"That was Trunks Vegeta!" exclaimed Ireeza "Does that mean you're friends with Vegeta and Buruma Vegeta?"

"yeah, but at first just Buruma" said Goku "She's my oldest friend! The first person since my grandpa that I ever met…kinda like the neechan I never had!"

"Hmm" said Sharpener "Goten sure looks a lot like the description of the little boy who took Oolong from the village…"

"For good reason!" Goku laughed "That boy was me! And Buruma was the teenage girl!"

Sharpener's jaw dropped "Y-you mean…! You're the one who…? I don't believe it! Talk about small circles!"

Kuririn came up to the door "hey, Juu-chan is getting bored. Can we all sit down?"

Sharpener and Ireeza squatted down to see Kuririn up close.

"Hey! It's the guy who beat the fat guy!" exclaimed Ireeza

Soon as they were all situated on the sofas, Sharpener immediately recognized a certain woman next to Kuririn.

"You must be Juuhachigou! Runner up of the 25th Tenkaichi Budoukai!"

"That is I." said Juuhachigou

Gohan smiled "ask Sharpener anything about the Tournaments! He knows a lot!"

Kuririn cocked an eyebrow "Really? Does he know anything about me?"

"Sure do." said Sharpener "Kuririn. Born in 736 AD and raised at the Orinji Temple as a monk. As he was found at the monks' doorstep, he has no known genetic family. At age thirteen he sojourned to the dwelling of Kame Sennin who trained him and Son Goku in the martial arts. He entered the 21st Tenkaichi Budoukai where he advanced to the Semi Finals and was defeated by Jackie Chun. Kuririn took part in the 22nd Tenkaichi Budoukai. He advanced far, but was defeated by Son Goku. Afterward, Kuririn challenged Piccolo Daimaou and was presumed dead; later he informed the king that reports of his demise were grossly exaggerated. In the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai, Kuririn was defeated by Ma Junior. Afterward, Kuririn stayed from the spotlight. At the 24th Tenkaichi Budoukai, Kuririn did not compete, but he did attend a ceremony in which his and Son Goku's busts were added to the Hall of Fame. After the time of the Cell Game, Kuririn began dating a beautiful woman known only by name; Juuhachigou. In 770 the pair were wed, and a year later their daughter was born. Kuririn entered the 25th Tenkaichi Budoukai, but came down with Puffer Fish poisoning and could not compete past the first round. To this day, Kuririn lives with his family in a location unknown."

The whole room was speechless. All the eyes were wide and they slightly bulged. Only Gohan's face was different, but his was a goofy grin and "triangle eyes".

"Wow…" said Kuririn "He even got the corny cover up story straight…"

"I wonder if he knows about Roshi…" said Juuhachigou

"Muten Roshi…I know very little" said Sharpener "Just that he was once the greatest martial artists alive"

"Now he's just a lech…" muttered Juuhachigou

There was a sneeze from the bathroom, and then a flush. An old man with sunglasses came out

"Did somebody call?" he asked

"no, Muten Sama." said Kuririn "We were just talking about martial artists, and you came up"

"Really, now! Eh heh!" Roshi laughed "Say…isn't that Videl?"

"It is" said Gohan

Roshi poked Videl in the chest "yes! I never forget a consistency!"; he found himself swatted across the room.

Kuririn waved his hands "Don't be offended, Videl. If he does that, it just means he's accepted you!"

Videl looked cock eyed at Kuririn "Accepted as what?"

"As Gohan's girlfriend of course!"

"KURIRIN! SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" growled Gohan

"yeah! What's the big idea, short stack?" grumbled Videl

"…Short stack…? That kinda hurts…"

"Oh look at you!" Chichi mused "You two are so cute together! Oh, yes! Grandchildren…soon!"

Gohan sweatdropped "hey, dad, who else is here?"

"um…" Goku scratched his head "Just us here, and Oolong-"

Sharpener jumped up "Oolong the Terrible is HERE??"

"Well…yeah!" said Goku "what's wrong with that?"

"I was just a little surprised is all."

"why?" Asked Goku, utterly puzzled

"Well, it's not everyday you get to meet a demon, right?" giggled Ireeza

Sharpener, Videl, and Gohan sweatdropped.

A pig-like person walked into the room "Hey Gohan." he said happily

"Hi Oolong." said Gohan

Sharpener picked up the piggish imp "THIS is the TERRIBLE Oolong? He's a little pork chop! Who could be wimpy enough to be scared of him?"

"look pal, I can be VERY scary!" said Oolong

"yeah…to a pale of slop…" Joked Juuhachigou

"I TOLD YOU BEFORE! I ONLY LOOK LIKE A PIG!" growled Oolong

Sharpener scratched his head "I still don't see how a little pint sized porker could frighten an entire town…?"

"Lemme show you! CHANGE NOW!"

"Oh no!" whimpered Gohan "Not in the house…"

Oolong transformed into a tremendously large mechanical thing that resembled something out of Gundam. His head broke the tiles on the roof. Sharpener, impressed, jumped up to examine Oolong closer.

"Wow! That is so cool! I wonder if this is like real metal…"

Sharpener punched his hardest punch into oolong's knee. Indeed it felt like metal, but it wasn't strong like metal. The shape shifter fell down whining, breaking a coffee table and denting the floor. Gohan hung his head and whimpered. Oolong reverted and rubbed his knee.

"What the…I just defeated Oolong!" exclaimed Sharpener

"Don't pat yourself on the back, kid! My strength stays the same no matter what I become, and I am really a weakling."

"Oh…so the villagers must have been afraid of your looks…"

"No, they were afraid of my Transformation's looks! My real looks are studly!"

Ireeza squealed "Well, I think you would be good with suction cups on your hands and feet looking out of car windows!"

Oolong steamed "Gohan, if you don't tell them to stop, I'll…tell EVERYONE about you-know-what!"

Gohan choked "you…you wouldn't!"

"try me! Gohan…is…"

"No…no…"

"A SLEEPWALKER!"

Gohan blinked "That's all?" he laughed "You know as much about blackmail as Emperor Pilaf knows about torture!"

"Grr…"

"Oh, dad" said Gohan "Sharpener wants you to give him some training tips!"

"Oh! Sure!" said Goku "Soon as the others leave for the picture show I can show ya all you want!"

Kuririn looked at his watch "Jeez! Thanks for reminding me Goku! Juu-chan, we're gonna be late to the movie!"

Juuhachigou jumped up "All right, let's go. Chichi, thanks for offering to baby-sit Marron for us!"

"Not to mention Roshi…" muttered Kuririn

(note: The humorous events later that night between Kuririn, Juuhachigou and a lost wallet can be read about in "Why Kuririn Needs a Wallet Chain" by yours truly)

"No problem"

All those from Kame House said their goodbyes and left. Goku led Gohan, Sharpener, Videl, and Ireeza to the backyard. It was a very large and fenceless backyard made up of an entire mountain, but a backyard still. Goku did some stretches, slapped his face and went into a classic stance. Sharpener sat Indian style and watched.

"The first thing ya gotta do--"

To make a long story short, sharpener painstakingly received a few lessons from Son Goku himself. Eventually, he coaxed Goku into taking him and Ireeza to all his haunts. That session doesn't come into this tale…not just yet. Gohan ended his day knowing that happily only very little information leaked out.
