I'm grounded 'cuz I didn't do something I was supposed to (Why should I have to do the dishes?), so I got my car taken away from me. I can't drive it without an adult yet, but that's beside the point. Poor me. I actually had to sneak on to post this chapter, so if you see my mom by some freaky chance, please don't tell her ^^;. Anyway, you reviewers had a ton of ideas about who the Goku look-alike was; I didn't even think about Turles or an evil Mirai Goten. Thanks to all who have reviewed so far (I think it was 48 or something), but you're not gonna get a disclaimer this chapter. If you feel the need to read one, check out a previous chapter.
Hoshi no Chibi
Carrots are Cool
The mysterious PE teacher looked at the small device hanging around his neck. The fat blob this place called their "principal" shoved it into his hands before he went rushing out. The man blinked again, wondering what it was used for.
Maybe it's some type of controlling device? And what are the two little holes for?
Coming to the conclusion that it was used to control the children, he threw it at the ground as hard as he could, expecting some type of explosion to be made, but instead a loud bang filled the air, along with the floor vibrating for a moment. Still confused when it did nothing, he looked up from the little object towards the students, finding them all staring wordlessly, causing the warrior to smirk.
"Now that I have your attention," the mystery guy said, "I'll start this class you call "Physical Education". I have no tolerance for the weak, and you will do what I say unless you wish to be dealt a very painful punishment. Is that understood?"
This could be fun. Third-class never were allowed to teach a decent size class, even if their considerably weaker than a Saiyan.
|-@-|
Meanwhile, Gohan just stared in shock at the class' new PE teacher, along with the rest of the students, but for a different reason.
"Why did he throw the whistle at the ground?" Sharpner muttered to himself, not thinking the teacher could hear him.
That can't be dad. As far as I know, he never had a scar on his face.
"Excuse me!" the man yelled, causing the class to jump, "Exactly where do you get the idea that you can talk out of turn!"
And dad was never this scary. He's acting exactly like Vegeta when he goes on about his Saiyan pride and- Oh no...He's a dad from an alternate universe, isn't he?...But what's up with the green Saiyan armor? Dad never wore green...
"I- I just wanted to know your name sir! If that's okay, sir!" Sharpner shouted, thinking that the man was a retired army dude in old army armor of some type.
"You will not shout! And I suppose it is alright if I tell you my name, and a little about myself as well. Listen carefully, because you will be doing this after myself, one by one," the mystery guy said, "My name is Bardock..."
Gohan breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe I won't have to deal with a psycho, alternate universe dad after all.
"I am a Third Class Warrior. My deceased mate's name is Sereri, and I have two children by the names of Radditz and Kakkarot...What happened to that boy?"
Bardock's question was directed at Gohan, who had fainted yet again, his final thoughts being on ways to murder and maim the person who was stupid enough to produce Herc Lite, and the one that intoxicated the little green man in the first place.
"Passed out," Sharpner replied, not wanting to be scolded again, "Guess the fact you're a warrior freaked him out, or something. Stupid nerd-boy."
Videl rolled her eyes as Erasa put a hand on his forehead, "Poor Gohan..."
"Well, wake him up. I need to get this class started. While you're doing that, each of you will tell me your name, what level of fighting you are at, and the names of close family members," Bardock said, thrilled that he was getting a chance to train again. For the past year, he had been doing nothing but trying to track Frieza and convince the King that he was going to destroy them, so he had no time to do anything but dig around for dirt on the tyrant. He hadn't had a decent spar in ages, and was looking to get a good one out of one of these children. Bardock could tell that the boy that had passed out seemed to have energy radiating off of him, even without his scouter. His little happy trip was thrown down a couple of notches when he passed out.
"Maybe if his Princess Charming kissed him, he'd wake up," Erasa giggled, causing both Videl and Sharpner to roll their eyes at their friend's antics.
"You're doing it all wrong," Videl replied, positioning her face down near Gohan's. Then, in his ear, she screamed, "GOHAN! GET UP NOW OR YOU WON'T GET LUNCH!"
Gohan shot up at that, and hurriedly replied, "I'm sorry Mom. I didn't mean to, please don't take away lunch- uh...hi?" without thinking, causing his friends to crack up.
"See? Threaten his meal and he's up," Videl stated as it were the most obvious thing in the world, making Gohan fixate his stare at the ground, his cheeks now taking on a rosy color.
Bardock, overhearing this exchange, looked carefully at the teenage Son.
Food obsession, huh? If he had a tail he'd look almost like a Saiyan...
"...And my little brother Pete, but we all call him PK 'cuz it's cute 'n stuff. Um...that's all," the girl finished, rushing away from the oddly clad, Goku look-alike.
"You four, with the one that passed out, come over here," Bardock beckoned Gohan's little group, "You're next."
Videl, not being one to cower away, walked confidently towards the new teacher. Sharpner and Erasa hurried after her, afraid of angering "Mr. Bardock, sir". Gohan, still a little drowsy and nervous at meeting the grandfather his family and friends, including himself, never knew, took his time. He finally got there as Videl was starting to speak.
"...Satan Videl. My mother is dead, my father's Satan Hercule. I'm sure you know him..."
I saw a poster with a Satan Hercule on it. He looked like a moron. She looks nothing like him.
"...I've been fighting since I was about 8, I live in a mansion with about 50 rooms, and I have no brothers or sisters," Videl finished.
"It's good to see someone here has some fighting experience," Bardock said. Then, Erasa and Sharpner took their turns telling the man about themselves, and before Gohan could blink, it was his turn. Videl was smirking.
Now maybe I'll find out a little more about Gohan.
"Go ahead," Bardock urged the young adult, wanting to know more about him as well.
"My name's Son Gohan. I live with my mom, Chi-Chi, and my brother, Goten..." Gohan muttered, almost un-audible.
"What's your father's name?" the mysterious instructor asked.
"Um..." the demi said, twiddling his thumbs, "His name is Goku..."
"You're father is THE Son Goku?!" Sharpner shouted, beating Videl in doing so, "The guy that made it to the Tenkaichi Budokai finals when he was TWELVE!"
"Hehe. Yeah," Gohan replied, doing the little Son Grin thing, with the scratching of the head.
"So he's taught you some things in martial arts, correct?" Bardock questioned. So far, it seemed as though only two students in the class possessed any possibility of going anywhere with their fighting abilities.
"A little. I haven't really been training since he died, though," Gohan said sadly, remembering his father's sacrifice. Then, he piped up a little and added, "Vegeta and Piccolo keep wanting me to fight, but my mom doesn't like it, and only wants me to get involved with my studies, which is a little odd considering she's a fighter herself..."
Videl, Sharpner, and Erasa's eyes widened at Gohan. It was as though he forgot they were there, and his voice sounded relatively normal again. Bardock, meanwhile, was trying to figure out how this little teenager interested King Vegeta into fighting. Even the Prince was too caught up in himself to drop his pride and spar with a weakling, which meant that either this Vegeta was going crazy, or Gohan was a warrior with unimaginable fighting skills.
"...Actually, my parents got married at the 23rd Tenkaichi, which is a little unusual. But my mom's a lot less strict about Goten's studies. I found out a couple day's ago that she's been training him while I've been at school, which isn't fair at all. I mean, I really don't feel like training, since there isn't a point in doing so, but Vegeta keeps saying stuff like "it's in my blood", which is kinda true. But Vegeta's weird like that. All he does is spend his time in the GR, contemplating on "how glorious his victory over Kakkarot will be", when my dad is dead. He's also got this major ego problem..."
And Gohan's school buddies continued to give the demi weird stares as he ranted on. He was now talking too fast for the humans to understand him, but Bardock stood there, hanging onto his every word.
"...And that's it. Oops, I kinda just rambled on, didn't I?" Gohan finished, sheepishly, giving another Son Grin. Before Bardock could reply, the bell sounded, ending the class period. Gohan was about to go to the locker room when a hand was placed on his shoulder.
"Son, I'd like to see you after school," Bardock stated, trying not to let the boy see how shocked he was. Gohan nodded in reply, and walked away.
So...either the Prince or King lives here, has mated with a human and produced a hybrid. However, he's intent on defeating my son...This is very confusing. I will get that boy to take me to the Vegeta living here and get this all sorted out...But for now, I'll just find something to eat.
|-@-|
"Thank you," said a police officer, walking up to Goten and Pan, "We didn't even have to call Videl."
By now, a group of police-people had gathered at the crime scene, taking the three robbers to jail and returning the zeni. The whole incident had attracted a crowd, and the two children were just eating it up.
One of the reporters had finally made their way towards the duo, that annoying lady with the curly blonde hair, and asked, "So you two are the Great Saiyakids. Is there anything you would like to tell the world?"
Goten, giving a Son Grin, said happily, "It's cool, fighting crime 'n stuff. Now I get to be just like Brother!"
"So you two are related to the Great Saiyaman?"
Pan just nodded, sensing that her sensei and chibi sensei had made it to the crime scene. Turning towards the two Trunks, she found Mirai looking amused, while Chibi was glaring at the two, pouting about being left out. Goten continued to talk to the reporter and said, "Uh-huh! The Great Saiyaman is my big brother, and Pa- I mean Ni-gou is his future daughter!"
Mirai Trunks made a motion telling the two to hurry up, and then walked back towards the park, looking for a place for the two Sons to de-transform. Pan tugged on Goten's gi, then said, "C'mon Ichi-gou. We gotta go."
"Bye!" Goten chirped, and the two waved good-bye, heading towards the Trunks'.
|-@-|
"Gohan!" Videl shouted, running towards the demi. The dark-haired teen turned around, only to find her standing on her tip-toes, glaring at him with her face a little too close to his for comfort. Normally, he may not have minded the closeness of the two of them, but Videl looked ready to kill. "Why didn't you tell me you were a fighter?"
"It- uh...never came up?" Gohan said, backing away from her.
"What about your father? Why didn't you tell us you had a famous father?" Videl spat as Gohan continued to try and make as much space between them as possible.
"I don't really want the publicity," Gohan replied meekly, backing up into the lockers. Unfortunately for him, Videl didn't give an inch.
"I want to meet your family," the crime fighter stated.
"Why? Is it because your father left?" Gohan questioned, unsure of where the fiery Satan was going with this conversation.
"No. I just want to," Videl replied.
"Well...You can't really meet them right now. I'm kinda...hiding from my mom, 'cuz she has it in her head that she'll be getting grandchildren soon, and staying with two old friends. There are two things that my mom obsesses about, really: grandchildren and my studies. And even if you did come over, she'd probably think I would want to marry you, or something," Gohan said, blushing.
Videl gave him a funny look, then back up away from the lockers, giving Gohan some breathing room. She then said, "Fine. You'll just introduce me to the people you are staying with."
Blinking in confusion, Gohan asked, "Why do you want to meet them?"
"You grew up in the mountains. I want to see the kind of people you know. I'm guessing that the people you're staying with isn't the type you'll find around here," Videl replied.
"O- kay...But you see, these people are really different. I mean, you'll probably never meet people like them..."
Considering neither of them are human...
"Which is why I'm going to visit them. After school I'll meet you at that park with the stupid name that's near here," Videl stated as she turned to walk away, "Y'know, Super Satan Park, or whatever."
"Hold on," Gohan said, placing a hand on her shoulder, "I gotta meet our new PE teacher after school. So if you'll wait about 30 minutes, then I can probably take you."
Videl nodded, then walked briskly away, causing the demi-Saiyan to sigh in relief. Or, Gohan almost did, but then caught himself when he realized he was going to take Videl to visit Piccolo, a Namek who fused with the former Guardian of Earth, and Mr. Popo, a friendly, little black genie, who lived in a relatively large building on top of a very long, skinny pole. Plus, he also had problems concerning his mother and future daughter to worry about.
At least Dende isn't around. It'll be hard enough to introduce Videl to Mr. Piccolo and Mr. Popo. What have I gotten myself into?
|-@-|
And the chapter is over. Fixed the "no" in the title. I can't believe I was stupid enough to leave it capitalized. Bardock may seem a little mean this chapter, but he's getting to train an "army" of sorts, and he hasn't gotten to do anything exciting lately, so he's acting like one of his old Saiyan instructors, I guess. Anyway, Ichi-gou is number one and Ni-gou is number two in Japanese, kinda like Juuhachi-gou, which is number eighteen. Hehe, in the 13th DBZ movie, Gohan was Ichi-gou and Videl was Ni-gou, incase you were wondering. I got the name Sereri from Burenda's fic Wish for the Past (hope you don't mind ^^;). Actually I've seen a bunch of names for her, all sounding something like Celery, and as far as I know, Bardock's mate was never covered in the special (which I'm two seconds away from watching- at least until I get a job to pay for the movie), so I'm just gonna go with this. I may be wrong, don't sue, 'cuz the 50 cents and two sticks of Big Red bubble gum is going towards my car insurance fund. I also realized the first author note I wrote was crap, but I'm too lazy to fix it, so I'm sorry to all who had to suffer through it.
*Look at me!* ADVERTISING! *Look at me!*
What do you think about this story so far? Why don't you tell me! Just push that little button on the bottom left hand corner and type away! Only $2.99...Oh wait! I can't believe it! It's totally free! So feel free to leave any comments, flames, suggestions, or questions! (Kaio-sama chuckle/snort thing- or North Kai/King Kai chuckle/snort thing for dubbers)
In the NEXT CHAPTER, there will be a real advertising, with no stupid pun included, Videl may make it to Kami's Lookout, but may not considering she may happen to listen in on Bardock and Gohan's conversation that may happen next chapter. Mirai may get sick of the chibi's and drop them off at a certain lookout, and I may end up having Mirai get a teaching job after all, but it probably won't happen next chapter. And Bardock may end up breaking another whistle, which is what he did throw at the floor at the beginning, and he may be a little nicer to Gohan when they may start talking. And Chi-Chi may freak out when they stop feeling Gohan's ki. But I'm not making any promises.
Until next time, look up at the advertising.
