Recap of the Last Chapter:

Videl stood there and closed her eyes. She didn't have time to react. She couldn't jump out of the way. Within seconds, she expected excruciating pain to occur, and probably death. Yet, nothing happened. She opened her eyes to see everyone staring with their mouth's open, at this figure in front of her.

"Saiyaman?" she asked softly at the person with their back turned toward her.

This person was different though. As the figure turned around, Videl saw that it was a teenage boy. He was in a full bodysuit, dark gray in color. He had black hair that was combed back. He also had these brown eyes that seemed gentle, yet they seemed to pierce through Videl.

"No - I'm not Saiyaman," he said softly, as he looked into her eyes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------



Videl stood there shocked. She didn't know what to say or how to react to this person. She just stared into those eyes that seemed to look deep into her. This stranger then smiled. Videl snapped out of this daze and took a good look at him. His hair was black and combed back. He had these brown eyes that seemed gentle, yet pierced. This stranger was in a full dark gray bodysuit that held snug to his slight muscular body. The suit went down to his ankles where his shoes were. The long sleeves covered his arms down to his wrists. He didn't wear gloves like Saiyaman did. Instead, his bare hands showed. The collar of the neck went up midway up his neck and two black stripes that started on each side of his shoulders down, past his chest, and to his ankles. There was a watch on his left wrist, while his hand was clinched tight. He also had a PS symbol on his upper left chest area and again on his shoes.

"Are you done looking?" he asked, smirking at her.

"Oh - sorry," Videl replied, a little embarrassed about staring at him.

"You're not Saiyaman, are you?" she asked, knowing well the answer.

"Again - I am not Saiyaman," he replied softly.

"Then who are you?" Videl asked, a little annoyed.

Both of them ignored the crowd that was behind them. Everyone wanted to know who this new guy was. Even the villains were watching with anticipation.

"I am Elie - Phantom Elie," he replied, smirking again.

"Isn't Ellie a girls name?" Videl asked.

Phantom Elie nearly fell over at this comment. "No, no no - it's spelled E- L-I-E. Short for electricity," Phantom Elie explained.

"Oohh," Videl replied. "Sorry about that."

"That's all right. I get that all the time," Phantom Elie said with a smile.

"Oh yes. Before I forget, here is the bullet that was aimed towards your head," he said as he stretched out his left hand and opened it to reveal the bullet.

"Boy, not very subtle, is he?" Videl thought.

"Uh, thanks," Videl said, as she took the bullet from Phantom Elie's hand, noticing that it was unharmed.

"How did you catch that bullet without hurting yourself?"

"Tsk tsk tsk. You ask too many questions," Phantom Elie replied, waving his finger in Videl's face.

Videl wanted to deck Phantom Elie for the attitude and gesture he just displayed.

"You jerk! That was just rude!" she yelled.

"My - and what a temper you have!" Phantom Elie exclaimed calmly. "You need to work on it," he smirked.

"Ohhh!" Videl was only able to mutter.

Phantom Elie then turned around and looked toward the crowd that watched in silence. "My name is Phantom Elie. It's E-L-I-E, and not to be confused with a girl's name."

He then looked at the boss. "Try that again, and I will be forced to take harsher measures against you."

The boss rolled his eyes and allowed the police to put him in the police car. The car then sped off towards the boss's new residence.

"Thank you sir!" the mayor exclaimed. "I don't know what this city would do if Videl were to get hurt.

"Think nothing of if sir," said Phantom Elie.

"It is part of my job."

"Yes - yes I see," said the mayor. "What do you think Saiyaman?"

Phantom Elie turned to see Saiyaman coming down from the sky behind him. "I don't know why Gohan wears that stupid costume," Phantom Elie thought. "He looks ridiculous."

"It is nice to meet you Saiyaman," said Phantom Elie, extending his hand for a handshake.

Saiyaman took this hand and shook it, smiling at Phantom Elie. "It's nice to meet you too Phantom Elie," he said in his overly dramatic super hero voice.

"Hmm. I can't figure out who this guy is," thought Gohan. "It can't be David. His ki signature is different. Plus, Phantom Elie's ki is a little lower than David's."

There was silence for a few moments as both crime fighters held each other's hand. They broke the handshake though and laughed nervously. "I hope we can fight crime together in the future Saiyaman," said Phantom Elie.

"Yes, that would be nice," said Saiyaman. "Crime never sleeps."

"And we don't want to forget our other crime fighter," the chief added, pointing over to Videl who was blushing at the gesture.

"Ah yes, we don't want to forget about her," said Saiyaman.

"No we don't," Phantom Elie added. "Otherwise, she will get very cranky."

"I heard that!" Videl yelled, glaring at Phatom Elie.

"Yes, I know," he replied, smirking.

"Uh - well Miss Videl," Saiyaman joined in.

"He didn't really mean anything by it. Isn't that right Phantom Elie?"

Though he wanted to torture Videl, Phantom Elie knew he had to leave. "No, I didn't mean anything by it. Though I hate to do this, I do have to get going."

"Uh, wait, before you leave," the mayor spoke up.

"Would you mind if I gave you a communicator? This way, we can call when something comes up."

"Sorry," Phantom Elie replied. "But I must decline. Don't worry though. I will be of assistance in the future. Plus, you also have Saiyaman here to protect you."

"Yes sir!" the mayor exclaimed. "I look forward to your help in the future."

With that Phantom Elie nodded in agreement and flew off. "Up, Up and Away!!" He yelled while laughing out loud.

"I always wanted to say that!" he yelled back before disappearing in the city.



Videl and Saiyaman watched as Phantom Elie flew away and disappeared behind the city buildings. Gohan concentrated on Phantom Elie's ki. "So he's going that way," he thought to himself.

"Just when I thought Phantom Elie couldn't be as dumb as Saiyaman, he had do go and say that," Videl said, as she smiled.

That comment broke Saiyaman's concentration on his lock of Phantom Elie's ki. "Hey, what do you mean by tha-" Gohan stopped as he looked at Videl's face.

She had a dreamy look in her eyes. The look in her eyes made Gohan jealous. "Hey why does she do that for Phantom Elie, while she always looks at me like I'm crazy," he thought.

"Don't tell me you think he's cute," said Saiyaman.

Videl broke out of the dreamy state she was in. "What do mean by that?!" she snapped.

"You look like you want to go out with him," Saiyaman replied.

"Why? Are you jealous?"

"Well - no - I just think he was a little rude," said Saiyaman, blushing and rubbing his cheek with his finger.

"Well, I didn't know you were so interested Saiyaman! Besides, I don't plan on dating him," Videl said, as she lowered her voice.

"I am a girl after all. Am I not allowed to think that a guy is cute? Hmm?" she asked, glaring at Saiyaman.

"I guess you're right Miss Videl, but - I - just want to you be careful. That's all," he replied, blushing a dark shade of red, looking down at the ground.

"That has to be Gohan," Videl thought. "He acts too much like him. But I can't prove it yet."

"Don't worry Saiyaman. I will be careful," she said.

Saiyaman nodded to her. "Okay then. See you later Miss Videl," he said as he flew away, heading back to school.

"Aw, darn! I missed the rest of my 4th period. And I missed 5th period," Gohan said to himself as he looked at his watch. "It also looks like I am late for 6th period."

Gohan touched down on the roof of Orange Star High. He felt David's ki in the building. As he concentrated, he found that David was in his 6th period class.

"Oh great! How am I going to explain my running away," Gohan thought.

Gohan changed out of his Saiyaman costume and ran downstairs.



Sixth period went on without incident, though Gohan did get a good yelling from the teacher about being late. David did give Gohan some trouble though.

He asked, "Hey, where did you go?"

Gohan only replied nervously, "Uh - guess I had some bowel problems."

David gave a questioned look but decided it would be better not to get into it. Videl also came in late, but was excused easily because she was a crime fighter. Nobody really chatted this period, which mainly was because this teacher had a close eye on Videl, Sharpner, Erasa, Gohan, and David. After what seemed like forever, 6th period ended, and so did the school day. Videl, Erasa, Sharpner, Gohan, and David met at the door.

"Since not all of our lockers are close together, why don't we meet at the school entrance? Then we can go for some ice cream?" Videl asked.

"And yes David, we can pay for you. That is if you don't eat like Gohan!" she added.

"Works for me," David replied.

"Okay," said Gohan.

"What a great idea!" Erasa exclaimed.

"Yeah - sure," said Sharpner.

"Great, then we'll meet at the entrance of the school," said Videl.

With that, all of the five of them went off in their different directions to their lockers. All of their lockers were fairly close to one another, so they were able to see one another leave. Poor David was having a hard time with his locker. David just couldn't figure out how the combination worked. He tried it one way, then another, but the stupid thing wouldn't open.

"Argh! Stupid thing! Open!" David exclaimed out loud.

He looked around and noticed that the others were already gone.

"Couldn't they have helped?" he thought.

David was getting quite frustrated with the stubborn combination locker that wouldn't open. He wanted to blast the stupid thing into oblivion, but there were too many students around.

"Can't get it open huh?" someone said from behind David.

He turned to see a teenage girl smiling at him. She had emerald colored hair, with dark emerald eyes. Her hair was straight, with a few strands of bangs that went down to her emerald eyebrows, while the rest went down to her mid back. She was definitely taller than Videl, but a few inches shorter than David. She had a dark green shirt with light blue jeans that went down a few inches below the knees.

"She's beautiful!" thought David.

"Hi, my name is Kia, what's yours?" she asked.

David snapped out of his daze and felt embarrassed about staring. "Oh, uh - my name is David," he said.

"Nice to meet you David," said Kia. "Now, about that locker."

"Oh - yeah. The stupid thing won't open. I can't figure it out," David sighed.

"Here, let me help you," said Kia, as David moved over, allowing her access to his locker.

"What's your combination number?"

"You promise not to steal it?"

"Yes, I promise not to steal it," Kia replied, playfully rolling her eyes.

"Okay, it's 10, 25, 0."

Suddenly, the locker opened. "Got it," said Kia, as she looked at David and smiled.

"So that's how you open it!" exclaimed David. "I would never have figured it out the way I was going!"

"Now I can break into this thing any time I want to," said Kia, smirking.

"Great! Now that means I'm going to have to get a new locker," David said, smiling.

Both just stared at one another for a moment not saying anything, but looking into the other one's eyes.

"Uh - thanks for your help," said David, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"No problem," replied Kia.

David reached into his locker and pulled out some books he would need to finish the night's homework. Kia opened her locker, which was next to David's.

"Well what do you know, our lockers are next to each other," said Kia, after she had taken her books from her locker.

"Yeah, who would have thought," replied David.

After David was finished he closed his locker. "I just hope I don't forget what you taught me," he said, as he looked at Kia.

"You shouldn't. It's not too hard to remember," she said as she smiled.

"Hey - you know - my friends and I are going out for some ice cream. Do you want to come?" David asked.

Kia's eyes lit up for a moment. "Ice cream? That would be wonderful," she thought.

But then she remembered that she already had plans to go do something with her friends.

"I would love to David, but my friends and I are doing something. Maybe another time?"

David was a little upset about this, but quickly got over it. "Yeah, that will work," he said.

David then realized that he had forgotten about the others. "Oh, I have to get going. See you tomorrow?" he asked.

"When?" Kia asked.

"Same time, same place?" David asked.

"Yeah! Okay! I'll see you tomorrow," Kia replied.

"Bye!" said David as he ran down the hall to meet up with his new friends who were waiting for him at the school entrance.
