Hey, Kirbinatrix here. Yeah, sorry this took so long to get up. And I think we owe Inu-dude a round of applause. He got through that annoyingly boring chapter, and I think he did a good job.

Hybrid Theory

Gohan's fist rocketed through the air. He had been training for three straight hours. He had completely forgotten that he was currently skipping school. But what was going to happen to him if he was caught, nothing, that's the beauty of the last day of school. But he had forgotten about meeting with Videl. They were supposed to get out of school at one o' clock, it was a quarter after one right now. He threw a triple round house kick and landed. He flipped off the gravity multiplier and stepped out of the gr. He ran to the back porch of the giant capsule corp. building where Bulma and her mom were sitting.

"Hey, you guys wouldn't happen to have a shower around here that I could use would you?" Gohan asked, obviously in a hurry.

"Yeah, there's one down the hall, third right." Bulma answered.

"Thanks." He ran into the house and down the hall. He flung the door open and pulled his clothes off. He turned the water on and jumped in. All he wanted to do was get the stinking sweat off. He turned the water back off and got out of the shower. He opened every cabinet in the room before finding the towels. Man, Videl is gonna kill me. He couldn't wait to go with his friends, just hang out. He picked up his clothes and was about to put them back on when he got a whiff of the putrid stench on them. Oh man, I don't have any other clothes, and I can't wear these. Damn myself, damn me to hell. He got over it and put the clothes on. As he was walking out past Bulma she had to hold her nose.

"Gohan wait, I have something to deal with that." She went inside and emerged holding a small spray bottle. "This isn't perfume or anything, it's designed to take the smell out of clothes that get sweaty. I had to design it when just washing Vegeta's clothes wasn't enough." She sprayed Gohan down, and sure enough the smell dissipated.

"Thanks Bulma." He said, as he was flying off.

"No problem." She said still holding her nose.

Gohan landed in the back of the school and ran around to find his normal gang standing there, most were just palling around, but on of them had one of the scariest pissed off looks of all time, and Gohan had seen his mom mad. Videl was tapping her foot against the ground and constantly whipping her head around, scanning for something, almost like a lion on the prowl.

"Hi guys." Gohan said, after working up the courage, while hiding behind a bush. Most of them greeted him, but one was still bitterly cold.

"Gohan, where the hell have you been, we've been waiting for twenty minutes, did you just think that we would wait forever, well?" Videl started yelling at Gohan and approaching menacingly.

Another girl started talking, "Videl, chill out, you only got here two minutes ago, you were the second to last person here."

Gohan looked at Videl curiously. "Oh shut up." Videl yelled at him, before he had the chance to say anything. They all started walking up the wide path in front of the school, everyone talking to everyone.

"So where are we goin'?" Gohan asked, everyone.

"The mall, a movie, walking, the park, to get something to eat." He heard pretty much every answer possible.

"We're goin' to walk to the mall, to get something to eat, we'll figure it out after that." Videl said, loosening up.

"Alright, sounds cool." Gohan said. The all walked down the street, one giant mass of teenagers. Gohan was walking towards the back of the group, to avoid Videl until her ice woman form melted off into her nice friendly self, hopefully they were all lucky enough for that to happen today. As he was walking along a sudden spike of energy caught his attention, but where was it. He scanned the area, it had disappeared. He continued walking, but he couldn't shake what he had just felt. Every once and a while, he felt a spike of energy, it came and disappeared. He just disowned it, for now. As they walked into the mall parking lot he felt the spike again, it disappeared, but was followed by another, and another, and a bunch of others. But these new energies weren't living, the y were pure ki. He raced to stop the blasts that were headed for the group of adolescents. He knocked each of the dozen or more blasts into space, and while doing so noticed that each of the blasts was accompanied by the original spike. He formulated a pattern of where the continuous blasts were coming from. He lined himself up and threw a punch into dead air, then a figure appeared, just in time to be hit by Gohan.

The rest of the group had walked inside, and didn't even notice that Gohan had disappeared. Gohan was standing over an obviously older man, of, obviously, a different species.

"So, you're Gohan I take it." The elder man said, stunning him a little.

"Yeah, how did you know?" Gohan was a little startled that this man knew his name.

"I am Takasugi, I have come here to ask a favor of you." He asked still laying on the ground, stunned by Gohan's punch.

"How do I know whether you are good or bad?" Gohan asked.

"I guess you don't, well not until you see who I'm fighting." Takasugi looked on Gohan slyly. Gohan outstretched a hand to the man, and was suddenly transported to a completely white void of a room.

"What just happened?" Gohan yelled out in confusion. His voice echoed back to him through a seemingly endless nothing.

"I am capable of teleporting through time, through space, and through reality. Oh, I love that. I am capable of going through time, but reality is something no one can escape. I was sent to you by the Grand Council. A war is happening, and we need you to lead a specialized team of fighters into battle."

"Who is this war against, you said I would know what side your on when I see who you're fighting. Tell me about this war." Gohan was attempting to keep his cool. Things had been normal on the Earth, ever since Cell. He cursed that name, and everything with it. He had taken his father, his own father. He had tried and tried to get over it, but your own father's death, for which you blame yourself, isn't easily forgotten. He was stunned by this sudden war, which he had not even heard about.

"Here, let me show you my enemy, and this war." Takasugi offered, as a giant ball appeared before them. It lit up to display a massive army of creatures, seemingly from every edge of the universe. They were attacking a planet, ships were orbiting the planet, it was being wiped out. A large dark man stood in the back and seemed to be commanding the army. "This is the enemy's dark army. The man that I'm sure you've noticed in the back is the one that we are fighting against. He has the ability to travel through time, much like myself, and the attack that you are currently witnessing is live, it is happening now, but a hundred years ago. He attacks planets through time, he traveled back a hundred years and began to destroy the planet, that would affect the future, the planet will be gone, by this time tomorrow. We have organized our own army, but it will not be enough, for this man has enlisted the help of seven of the greatest fighters of all time, he has upgraded their power, strength, speed, and made them impossible for any normal man to beat."

"So, I'm supposed to beat these seven guys all by myself, that's great." Gohan said sarcastically.

"No, as I said, you will lead a team of your own fighters, fighters in their prime, much as you are, you will lead the Hybrid Five."

Ooh, what a great cliff hanger. I can't wait to see what happens next. I hope you enjoyed it. Oh I would like to ask a question.

Who do you think was the greatest bad guy of all time?

Who do you think, besides Gohan, was the greatest hero of all time?

Not that those will have any affect, because I probably already have all of them down, just wondering.
