A/N: Some chapters, like this one, will start before the end of the last chapter. There will also be points where I separate a sections and go back to show something from someone else's perspective. Hopefully I don't confuse anyone.
Chapter Two - Birth of Saiyaman
Sheba and Daemon watched as the rest of the class filed out of the room before they too began to leave. "I don't know if this was the best idea Daemon." She said looking up at her brother. "All these people..."
He placed his hand on her shoulder and squeezed lightly. "We'll be fine sis, don't worry so much." She smiled faintly and nodded. As they made their way outside were they scanned the crowd below them. They were about to make their way from the school when Erasa saw them and waved them over.
"Hey!" she said as they approached. "We never got the chance to introduce ourselves today." she said smiling. "I'm Erasa, this is Sharpner, and Videl." They each shook hands with the others as Erasa introduced them. Sharpner didn't miss the look on Videl's face when she shook hands with Daemon. He was about to step between them when sirens started off in the distance.
Videl turned and looked for a moment then glanced back at the others. "Got to go." she said taking off. Daemon and Sheba watched for a moment then followed as well.

Gohan stood outside the police tape with the rest of the crowd. It had turned out that someone had broken into someone's home. Unfortunately for them the family was home. Now they were holding them all hostage, six people in all, and threatening to kill them if they weren't allowed to leave. He was trying to find some way into the building to help when the sound of an air car reached his ears. Everyone turned to see Videl land and walk over to a cop. /What's she doing here?/ he wondered.
As he watched her something tugged at the back of his mind. At first he didn't notice it but it quickly became impossible to ignore. A large power was nearing them, not nearly as strong as him but still high. Quickly he began to scan the horizon for any sign of the nearing power. /I don't recognize it so it's not just someone fly past./ His attention to the sky was suddenly diverted by a gunshot and screams from the gathered crowd. Turning back to the scene he realized Videl wasn't there anymore. Then, as he was about to ask someone what had happened, the front door to the house was flung open and Videl rolled down the front steps. /What in the world?/
As Videl hit the sidewalk she managed to get to her knees before the paramedics reached her. Then Gohan could see clearly the blood running down her right leg. /That gunshot! They must have shot her... but what was she doing in there in the first place?/

Videl climbed out of her air car and walked over to the officer in charge. "Miss Satan, we haven't even had time to call you yet." the officer said in surprise.
Videl just nodded. "I was just getting out of school when I heard the sirens. What's the situation?"
"We're unsure of the specifics but three people are inside holding the family, about six people, hostage."
Videl nodded and walked past the officer and made her way up the steps. A moment later she was inside and could see the family huddled together in the living room. Leaning against the far wall was a young man in his early to mid twenties in a pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt. He glanced at her through his long white hair but, much to her disbelief, he did nothing. To her right she could see a young woman with a pistol in her hand. As Videl caught sight of her eyes she froze, they seemed... lifeless. "I've come in here to tell you to give up." she said eyeing the two while trying to find the third.
The man with the white hair smiled. "My dear girl, this is none of you concern." he said lightly. "It would be a shame for this world to lose such a beauty."
Videl growled and was about to attack when the girl to her right raised her gun and fired. She heard the shot a split second before the intense pain tore through her leg. She fell to the ground mostly in shock as the pain was fading rapidly. Before she could even get up she felt hands grab her and lift her off the ground, then suddenly she was rolling down the stairs in front of the house.

Gohan was still debating on what to do when a steak of white surged down from the sky and through the roof of the house. He realized instantly that it was the power he'd felt a moment ago. There were screams and the crowd backed away from the house as more gunshots rang out. Gohan watched the house uncertain of what to do. Then he felt a second power spike inside the house. /What the..../ As he focused there were a few flashes of bright light from the windows and the second power dropped back down. Then the white light burst out of the house again and sped off into the distance.
To stunned to do anything Gohan just stared after it. /What in the world?/ By now most of the people had left but Gohan had stayed behind to see what had happened. The paramedics brought out three people on stretchers. There was a man with white hair who looked like he'd been hit by a truck, and two girls who seemed to having nothing wrong with them. Shaking his head he made his way from the house to the city's edge where he took to the air.
Before he'd started for home though a thought came to him and instead he went to Capsule Corp. He landed and walked in to find Bulma standing over a stove. This shocked him more than what he'd seen earlier. "You're cooking?!" he asked teasingly.
"Gohan!" she cried turning around. "It's been to long kiddo, you should come by more often."
"You still haven't answered my question." he said smiling.
"Yes, I'm cooking." she said hotly. "But it's no big deal, it's only instant potatoes. Vegeta and Trunks are out on a 'camping trip' this week." Gohan smiled, he knew what a camping trip meant. Intensive training that would require numerous Senzu Beans to recover from. "So what's up Gohan? How'd your first day of school go?"
"Pretty good I guess." he replied shrugging. "But there was a robbery on my way to school. I transformed before stepping in but it's not much of a change in appearance." He purposely left out the part about the energy blasts and decided not to even mention the hostage thing from a little while ago. He didn't want everyone panicking if it wasn't anything to worry about.
"Sounds interesting."
"Yeah... but if I'm going to keep helping out in the city I'm going to need a better way to disguise myself."
"Ohhh, a costume!" she cheered turning. As soon as she was no longer facing the pot of mashed potatoes it began boil over. "Oh no!" she cried turning back around to move the pot. However it was to late to save the potatoes, they were now black and rock hard. "I can make time machines, space ships, teleporters, repair Androids, shrink people, and a billion other things but I can't cook! Why?! It makes no sense!"
Gohan laughed as he opened the fridge and began pulling out armfuls of food. "Your probably just to smart." he said laying it all out. "So what do you say? I make us some food and you come up with something for my problem?"
She stuck her hand out and Gohan clasped it. "Deal." she said shaking hands. "I've got just the thing to, should only take an hour or so to modify it." As she started out of the kitchen she called back. "And I'll call Chi-Chi, tell her where you are. That's the last thing we need, a hysterical mother tearing up the city!"
It turned out Bulma also decided to invite Chi-Chi and Goten over for dinner. Of course, once she got there she insisted on cooking but Gohan had his brother drag her out of the kitchen. "I'm cooking tonight." he called. "Take the chance to relax some mom. It only took about an hour for the meal to be ready and set out.
"Oh boy Gohan!" Goten cried walking into the room. "Look at all that food! You cook even faster than mom!" Goten's eyes were practically popping out his head as he looked at the mound of found.
Bulma couldn't believe it either. "Don't you think that's a little much Gohan? We've only got two Sai-jins here to feed. Chi-Chi and I don't eat nearly as much as you guys."
Gohan grinned as he scratched the back of his head. "Yeah well... I thought it would be a good idea to have leftovers. That way you'll be able to eat without burning your food. Even you can use a microwave. I think."
"Hey!" she cried slapping his arm.
Goten just started laughing. "I don't know big brother... she burnt the melted cheese sandwiches she made for me and Trunks last week." It didn't take long for the two half Sai-jins to cut down the pile of food to more normal level. Meanwhile Bulma and Chi-Chi kept trying to find out more about Gohan's first day of school. Had he made any new friends? Met any cute girls yet?
Finally, when everyone was finished eating and the table was clean, Bulma produced a normal looking watch. "Here you go Gohan, this is what you wanted."
"Really?" he asked looking it over before slipping it on. "So how does it work?"
"Easy, just press the little button on the side here. You'll need to put a little energy into it to activate it. Then poof, your costume is on!"
Gohan reached down and did as she said. Almost instantly his outfit had changed and he looked himself over in a nearby mirror. "Oh, wow Bulma, it's perfect!" he said looking over his new outfit.
"Gohan's a Super Hero!" Goten cried.
Gohan looked down at Goten for a moment. "You know what... I'm going to need a name. What do you say Goten, any ideas?"
Goten's little face scrunched up in concentration as he thought of a name for his Super Hero big brother. "Oh! I know! You can be called Saiyaman! No, no. Great Saiyaman! Yeah that's it! Great Saiyaman!"
Gohan ginned under his helmet and put his fists on his hips striking the typical Super Hero pose. "Look out evil doers! For now you must deal with Great Saiyaman!" he said in a deep voice. It was all Bulma and Chi-Chi could do not to laugh but Goten was cheering.
