SSJ10Matt: Oopsies, sorry about the mix-up, my messy writing is very hard to read. I'll see what I can do about giving you a bigger part.
Lauren: Erasa isn't in the story, I didn't think that she'd like this kinda stuff and since it's optional, I think she would have opted out.

Everyone: Hey guys, soz for the late update…I know I said I'd update more in the hols, but I've been bad…I've been spending my holiday working, camping, drawing, getting ideas for every other fic but this one and becoming totally obsessed with Orlando Bloom… =P I spend all of yesterday afternoon going through my old magazines getting pics and articles on him and sticking them up on my wall…I'm not crazy, I swear! I've also been reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I'm almost finished now, it's taken ages! The book is about this thick -- |____________________| no joke! Anywayz, lets see what I can do with this chapter…fingers crossed I don't stuff it up!

As soon as the shaking subsided, people who'd thrown themselves on the ground quickly sprang to their feet, looking around trying to find out what had just happened. Everyone began running in the opposite direction of where the blast was, when suddenly, another explosion took place right in front of them, causing everyone to fall over again.
Gohan crossed the clearing and when he was in the woods on the other side, he took to the air, thinking that his camping mates would be too busy trying to escape the explosions than looking up into the air to see if any of their friends were flying.
As soon as he was above the treetops, Gohan saw the source of his problem. Goku and Vegeta were having one of their hard-out training sessions.
"Dad!" Gohan yelled, getting Goku's attention. Goku looked at Gohan and was rewarded for that action by getting hit in the face with a ki blast from Vegeta.
"I thought you would have learned your lesson by now, Kakarot, never turn your attention from a fight" Vegeta mocked.
Goku ignored Vegeta. "What are you doing here?" he asked Gohan.
"Well, I'm camping over there" Gohan said, pointing in the direction where the stray ki blasts were going, "And my friends aren't really liking having to run from explosions all the time, so if you could just move your fight elsewhere, that'd be really cool"
"I don't see why we should move our fight, just for your weakling friends" Vegeta said, crossing his arms defiantly across his chest.
"Well," Gohan said, gaining a smirk "I wonder what Bulma would say if you killed or injured an innocent person"
Images of sleeping on the couch, no GR room, numerous bashes on the head with a frying pan, pint-sized meals and many other punishments the woman had come up with before went flying through Vegeta's head.
"Your threats mean nothing to me" Vegeta said, smirking at Gohan.
"Oh yeah?" Gohan said, pulling a cell phone out of his pocket. He started to dial the number of Bulma's phone in her lab. Gohan smirked as Vegeta's expression changed from one of defiance to one of almost fear.
"You're not really going to do that, are you, brat?" Vegeta said, getting slightly worried.
Gohan just smirked and dialled the next number.
"Come on, brat, I'm sure you don't need to bring the woman into this"
Next number was dialled.
"Okay, okay, we'll move!" Vegeta said, clenching his fists as if he wanted to beat Gohan up.
"Come on, Vegeta" Goku said as he flew off in a different direction. Vegeta followed reluctantly, looking back at Gohan, scowling.
Gohan smiled to himself and touched back down on the ground before anyone missed him.
Luckily, everyone was too preoccupied with their own survival that no one had given a second thought to what was going on.
"Gohan!" a voice yelled from over the other side of the clearing.
Gohan looked over to the owner of the voice, Chelsea, who was motioning for him to come over and join the group, who'd managed to find each other in all the chaos. He started to push his way through the crowd of people and by the time he finally got there, people had mostly calmed down, realising that they weren't going to die just yet.
"Are you guys alright?" Gohan asked
"Yeah, we're fine" Tobun answered
"Where'd you go?" Reez asked
Gohan put his hand on the back of his head and laughed nervously. "Uh, well, I got caught up in the crowd of people," he said.
"Oh"
Time passed and soon everyone had forgotten about the explosions and earthquakes, due to a little unintentional stunt pulled by Hercule.
As we all know well, our dearest Herc is an idiot, putting it nicely of course, and as you may, or may not remember, the last we saw of him, he was wearing a pair of very nicely decorated boxer short, while trying to run around with his pants around his ankles. Well, continuing on from where we left off with him…
Hercule had been running in aimless circles and at the moment, he'd had enough sense to stop and pull his pants up before he continued running, but he just so happened to be running in completely the wrong direction…or the right direction, it depends on which way you look at it.
Now, my dear readers, poor old Herc is not going to get lost, but instead, get the shock of his life as he saw something that he'd hoped never to see again in his life.
Flying people.
Apart from defying the laws of gravity and almost every other natural law imaginable, it was just plain freaky for the general public.
As he stared up at the sky in shock, sanity (if you could call it that) began to slowly invade his mind again/(for once?) and he came to his senses and realised that these people looked very familiar. In fact, he'd swear that one of them had been on his camp.
He also noticed that two of the flying people also had that gravity-defying blonde hair that brought back so many memories. Oh, how he hated that hair.
The three flying people seemed to be talking and suddenly, the two blondes flew off in the opposite direction and the other one flew down and landed in the woods a little further away.
Finally realising that his legs were still attached to his body and seemed in reasonably good working order, he turned himself around and ran back through the forest yelling something incoherent about flying men with evil blonde hair.
The unintentional stunt that was performed by Herc, now came into play. As he neared the campsite, he was still yelling and he looked totally mad. His hair had finally worked itself into an afro again, but whether it was done by Herc, or from fright was anyone's guess. His eyes were wide with shock and he looked like he'd lost it a while ago.
As he burst out of the woods, he was still yelling and of course, that attracted the attention of the campers, who all stared at him in shock, wondering what the hell had happened to poor old Herc.
Herc looked around the clearing and finally spotted what he was looking for.
Gohan.
He stumbled across the clearing to where Gohan was standing with his friends. The group drew back as Hercule, looking like a madman, edged closer to them.
"Hey! What's Hercule doing!?" a girl called Zuki yelled out, getting the attention of everyone in the campsite. Everyone was so used to Hercule's craziness, that most people just ignored him.
Gohan turned around, only to see Hercule striding towards him looking like a deranged lunatic.
"Yikes!" he said, getting the attention of his friends, who all quickly scattered, leaving Gohan straight in Hercule's path.
Gohan's eyes widened as Hercule got closer and closer until he stopped right in front of him. Hercule stood up straighter, making himself look taller and stared Gohan straight in the face.
"I know you" Hercule stated.
"Yeah," Gohan bluffed, "I've been on this camp for the past week and half"
"No. I know you from the Cell Games"
Gohan hesitated for a second, trying to think of something to say, "I wasn't at the Cell Games." He blurted out. 'Yeah, great one, Gohan' he thought.
"Yes you were. You were that boy"
"Nope"
"Yes"
"Nope"
"Yes"
"Nope, nope, nope"
"Yes, yes, yes"
"Would you guys just shut up!" Videl interrupted, pushing in between her father and Gohan. "But I think we'd all like to know the answer to that question"
Gohan looked around the clearing to be met with expectant faces. Curiosity was written over everyone's features and everyone was impatient. Everyone wanted answers. Answers he wasn't prepared to give…
"Well, uhhh…"

Author's Notes: Haha! I'm evil! I left ya guys another cliffie! Again, I'm really sorry about the lateness, I was gonna post it the other day, but I never got around to finishing the chapter until today. Here's hoping the next chapter will be out very soon as we're nearing the end of the story. I reckon there's about 5 or so more chapters to come.
Just a quick thing (well, actually not so quick), I've got most of the groups and stuff sorted out for the next chapters, and I really haven't got room for any more people unless I do some serious rearranging, so if you put your name down now, there's a big chance that you won't get put in. Sorry to do this, but I had way more people than what I originally expected and ppl are still asking, and I'm kinda stuck for places to put people. I'm still trying to stick to my goal of getting everyone in, but not everyone will have a big part, so sorry if you only get a little mention, I hope you guys can understand.
