The Salga Saga

Chapter 2

Telew got up with a loud groan. When he looked around the forest was dark, and the moon, and stars supplied the only light source. When he looked over himself he saw his wounds were closed, and his bruises were healed. His chest still had a light burn scar on it, but he knew it would go away by tomorrow. The Arsudu growled when he couldn't feel the soldiers' ki anymore.

'That bastard,' he thought as he remembered the figure that blasted him. 'I was thrown out of my demon form with just one blast from that bastard. If he is who I think is, then he'll be back. I know he will.' With that the Arsudu took flight back to the house.

OOOOO

Sasami sighed as she did the dishes. Even though she enjoyed telling Tei those stories, they just reminded her too much of Gohan. Even after seven years, she still couldn't forget him. She had declined even one of her father's choices for her fiancé, she only wanted one person, Gohan. But there was no telling if she would ever see him again. The princess sighed as she finished the dishes. Ryo-Oki gave her a worried look.

"Don't worry Ryo-Oki, I'm fine," Sasami said with a light smile. "I just need to go to bed, I'm really tired." Ryo-Oki wasn't convinced though, the cabbit followed Sasami as she walked out of the kitchen. Then she saw a tear roll down Sasami's face.

OOOOO

Washu eyes were fixed on her main computer as she typed. The loud clicking sound of the keys, and the roar of all the machines she had on ran through the lab. The scientist pulled up a picture of one of her star portals, and started to add more modifications to it.

'Just a little more, then if my hypothesis is right, then…'

"Mama, what are you up to?" Tei asked from behind her. Washu spun around in her chair, and picked up her son.

"What are you doing up? I thought Sasami tucked you in," she said as she ran her hand through his short hair.

"I was, but your typing woke me up," the little boy replied.

"Sorry about that honey, but I'm really close to something," Washu said as she started to type again. Tei stared at the big screen, his eyes looked at the many numbers and formulas that he surprisingly understood.

"What are you doing to your star portal mama? Are you adding a feature?"

"I hope so. If this works then this portal will be able to do more than just travel great distances," Washu said. The door suddenly swung open to revel Telew with a disgruntled look on his face.

"Daddy!" Tei exclaimed, and rushed towards his father. "Daddy, mama is adding something to her star portal." Telew picked up his son as he walked across the lab.

"What hell is up with you? It looks like you got beat at the tournament. What happened?" Washu asked.

"These three bastards attacked me. I used my demon form to try and stop them. But their leader took me by surprise, then those three idiots knocked me out," Telew answered. "I'll be in the training chamber for the rest of the night." The Arsudu then set his son down then walked into the training chamber.

"Mama, why did those bastards fight daddy?" Tei asked. Washu sweatdropped at how much Telew could influence their son.

"Honey, don't say bastard okay," Washu said.

"Why?"

"Well…it's a grown up word. Well anyway, if you can't sleep, why don't you help mommy with her little project." Tei smiled and nodded. 'Just a little longer. Just a little longer, Sasami.'

OOOOO

"I'm going to school mom!" a young man called as he ran to the door.

"Okay, but don't be late!" his mother called. The young man nodded.

"Nimbus!!!" he shouted. Suddenly the yellow cloud swooped down from the air, and landed in front of him. "Come on nimbus, I'm late." Once he was on the cloud floated back in the air, and sped towards the city. As you may have guessed, this young man is Gohan. It has been seven years since he and Piccolo left Tenchi's world, and three months after the whole Buu incident. Things had been quiet since then, but Gohan kept training with his father and Vegeta. Sure he didn't train as hard as the two of them, but he wanted to be in shape if something big like Buu ever happened again. He still couldn't believe his dad was back for good, every time he woke up in the morning he always thought his dad would be back in other world, but he was always right there next to his mom snoring his head off. Gohan remembered the first night his dad came home, he had never seen his mother so happy. She was so happy, Gohan thought her heart would explode from her chest. Gohan laughed at the first thing his dad did when he came home, eat, he ate until there was barely anything left in the cupboards.

'Same old dad,' Gohan thought as Nimbus flew towards Orange Star city. Gohan looked at his watch, and saw it was only 7:30. "Hey I'm actually early! Maybe I can relax for a little while." A sudden sound of gunshots caught Gohan's attention. The young man looked down and saw an armored car being robbed by seven masked guys. The police tied down to a tree, and everyone was too scared to do anything.

"Hurry up, before more cops show up!" the leader shouted. Gohan sighed from above.

"Man, there goes my time to relax," he thought out loud. He stood up on the cloud, and pushed a red button on his watch. In an instant he was dressed in his superhero outfit. He kept the scarf and sunglasses from the tournament since he thought it looked cooler. (At least to me it does.) Without hesitation, Gohan, or Great Saiyaman leaped from the cloud and landed on the armored car.

"What the hell!" a robber shouted.

"Who the hell are you!?" the leader asked as he raised his gun.

"I am, guardian of the city! The one, the only, Great Saiyaman!" As he said all this, he went into different odd poses, which became his trademark with the people. "And you are robbing this armored car. Please drop your weapons, and turn yourselves in to the police. Violence is not necessary."

"Shut up!" one robber shouted, and fired his gun. Saiyaman quickly teleported behind him in an instant, and raised his fist.

"You should have listened," he said in his superhero voice, and threw his punch. The robber sailed through the air, and landed with a loud crash on a car.

'Whoops, maybe that was a little too much,' Gohan thought.

"Shoot him shoot him!!!" the leader ordered. Gunshots filled the air, and hundreds of bullets sped towards the superhero. Saiyaman turned around only to be meet with bullets bouncing against his chest.

'Ow! These things sting!' Saiyaman thought, then put up his hand, catching the remaining bullets with ease. "Guns are very dangerous, put them down before some one gets hurt." The robbers were in shock, he took all their shots, and didn't even flinch!

"W-W-W-What the hell is this guy!?" another robber wondered. Saiyaman suddenly leaped in the air, and gave the robber a swift kick across his face. The man soared across the road, and hit a brick wall. Two more charged him, but Saiyaman simply put up his elbows, and broke the men's jaws. Some of their teeth clicked against the ground as they fell like rocks. The four remaining men dropped their guns and ran towards their car.

"Forget this! I'm outta here!" The car sped off, and the robbers thought they got away, but suddenly they hit a steel wall, or at least that's what they thought. When they opened their eyes, they saw Saiyaman standing in front of them with a smirk on his face, and the police swarmed around their car.

"Thanks for the help Saiyaman," the chief said.

"No problem chief," Saiyaman replied, and flew off. The superhero gasped when he saw the time. 7:40. "Aw man!! I'm late!!!"

OOOOO

Gohan quickly made his way towards his first class, which was already in progress. He paused when he made to the door. He sighed, and opened it. Everyone turned towards him towards him.

"Gohan! You're late! Always, you're late! Why!?" the teacher shouted.

"Well.. Uh…there was a disturbance," Gohan said. "My brother got sick."

"Your brother must have a very weak immune system since that's the fifth time this week you used that excuse!!" Gohan sweatdropped at how red the teacher was getting.

'Fifth time? Man I need to come with a new one,' Gohan thought.

"Take your seat, and I expect you answer many questions! Or else!" Gohan sighed, and took his regular seat next to Erasa, Sharpener, and Videl.

"Hey Gohan, did you hear, there was a Great Saiyaman sighting today," Erasa whispered. "Did you see it?"

"I bet he didn't, too busy in the library," Sharpener said. Gohan sighed.

'Man does news travel fast here! That only happened a couple of minutes ago, and they're already acting like it happened a couple of hours ago,' Gohan thought. As the class rolled on, Gohan's eyes started to drop, and his mind wandered. It went back to Tenchi's house, he remembered Ryoko, and Ayeka's fights, Miyoshi's whining, and Kiyone's yelling. He heard Washu laughing as she finished another one of her crazy inventions, and Telew grunting as he trained. He saw Tenchi trying to break up Ryoko and Ayeka, and Yohso sipping tea like nothing's happening. Then he remembered Sasami. He remembered everything about her. Her smile, her laughs, her cooking, everything.

"Gohan," she called. "Gohan." "Gohan."

"GOHAN!!!!!" Gohan suddenly yelled and fell off his chair.

"But Tenchi, it's Piccolo's turn to do dishes!" he exclaimed from the ground. Everyone stared at him in confusion. When Gohan realized where he was, he smacked his forehead.

'Please tell me I didn't say that out loud.'

"SON GOHAN!!!! BEING LATE IS ONE THING, BUT SLEEPING IN CLASS!!!!!" the teacher bellowed. "OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW!!!!" Gohan sighed, and went into the hall. What a way to start the day.

OOOOO

Gohan sighed as he walked with his three friends, who were currently laughing at him.

"Wow Gohan! Caught sleeping in five classes in a row! Now that's a record!" Erasa laughed.

"And here I thought you brainy types could stand those boring classes," Sharpener snickered.

"You should have heard him snoring in biology!" Videl giggled. Gohan sighed.

"Come on guys it wasn't that bad was it?" he asked, that only made them laugh harder.

"You have no idea!" Erasa laughed. A sudden loud explosion silenced the three laughing teens. They watched as black smoke rose from an area, and people were swarming around it. Gohan suddenly had a stern look on his face as he looked around.

"What the hell was that?" Sharpener asked.

"It's probably just Videl's dad. He's always trying out new things like this," Erasa figured. Gohan had other ideas.

'There's no way some cheap pyrotechnics trick could pull off a blast of that magnitude. There's something big on the way. I can feel it,' he thought.

"Gohan something wrong?" Videl asked.

"Videl, there's something coming," Gohan replied softly. His eyes suddenly caught sight of three figures floating in the air. Erasa gasped when she saw them.

"Look! Up there! Some kind of monsters!" Gohan curled up his fingers into fists as the three figures floated towards them.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here, a bunch of kids," the green said. "The girls are actually kind of pretty." Gohan stepped in front of his friends with a dangerous look on his face.

"Leave them alone," he stated coldly. The three guys just laughed.

"Well what do we have here, a wannabe hero?" the blue one chuckled.

"Beat it kid, before we tear out your bones," the red one warned.

'Their energy is incredible! It reminds me of that one guy, Dabura. Who are these guys?' Gohan wondered. "Look I'm only telling you once, leave this planet." Sharpener, and Erasa were surprised at the sudden change in Gohan's voice. It was like he was a completely different person. The Gohan they were used to would have never done this.

"Beat it kid!" the green one shouted, and fired a blast that sent Gohan flying into a building.

"Gohan!" his friends cried.

"Bri!" the blue one shouted. "We have no time to be messing with weak humans. We must find our target!"

"Sorry Dirk, but the way that kid was looking at me, it just reminded me of that damn Telew guy," Bri said.

"Rirk, scan the area, where is the strongest power level?" Dirk asked. Rirk whipped out a small computer and started typing.

"Hmm, the strongest would be…." But he was suddenly cut off by a strong blast that knocked them back a few feet. Everyone looked and saw Saiyaman float down with his hand extended.

"Who the hell are you!?" Bri shouted.

"I am, guardian of the city! The one, the only, Great Saiyaman! And you monsters have been terrorizing this city. I will not allow this any longer."

"Who is this guy?" Dirk asked. Rirk gasped when he looked at the small computer.

"It's him! He has the power level closest to the one Lord Salga showed us!" Bri chuckled, and cracked his knuckles.

"Good I was getting a little bored with this place. Especially that one human. The one with the damn afro, and the cocky attitude. He couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag! At least this guy will give me a challenge."

'Why are these guys after me? What did I do to them?' Gohan asked himself.

"Now guys, lets go!!!" Bri suddenly shot towards the superhero, but Saiyaman quickly flew into the air avoiding his attack, but he was met with a strong blow to his stomach by Dirk who had beat him in the air. Rirk appeared above him, and brought down his elbow. Saiyaman quickly recovered by flipping, and he landed with grace on top of a building. The superhero got into a strong fighting stance, readying himself for the next batch of attacks.

'Who are these guys? And what do they want with me?' Gohan asked himself, but he barely had time to think because suddenly the soldiers were on the attack again. Bri threw a fast jab, but Saiyaman swiftly dodged, and countered with a swift kick to his jaw. The green alien stepped back, but the other two quickly charged Saiyaman from behind him. Gohan took to the air to avoid their assault, but the aliens were soon hot on his trail from behind him. Saiyaman growled a little, but he suddenly cupped his hands together.

"Hurry he's slowing down!" Dirk exclaimed. Saiyaman smirked a little.

"Right this way, boys," he said softly. "Ka Me Ha Me… HA!!!!" The blue blast collided with all three soldiers and blasted them back into the street, causing a large hole form in the middle of an intersection. The superhero floated down in front of the hole surveying the damage.

"Nice work Saiyaman!" Erasa exclaimed. Gohan sweatdropped, and thanked heaven that everyone in his high school was so gullible. It took him and Videl awhile to fool everyone into thinking that he wasn't really Saiyaman. He also tricked them into thinking that when the bight light blinded them while he was transforming he traded places with the real gold fighter. He sighed at how close it was that his identity was reveled, but Sharpener still had his suspicions. A sudden movement snapped Gohan from his thoughts. He snapped his head back towards the hole, only to see the three aliens fly out, and with smirks on their faces.

"This guy is stronger than I first thought," Rirk chuckled.

"We might even die," Bri laughed.

"Well boys it looks like we'll have to use it after all," Dirk said with a smirk.

"What are you talking about?" Saiyaman asked.

"You'll see," Bri chuckled as he reached into his belt and pulled out a small bottle. The other two did the same. The small bottle was filled to the tip with a strange blue liquid that had a light glow to it. The bubbles fizzed to the top as the three popped the caps open. Saiyaman readied himself for anything as the aliens finished the drink in one gulp. The half Saiyan suddenly felt a sudden increase in their power. His eyes widened as their muscles grew seven times their normal size. Their chest armor expanded to make room for their bigger muscles. A purple aura surrounded all three of them as they laughed manically.

"Now let's get him," Rirk said with new confidence.

"Gladly!" Bri exclaimed, and shot forward. His new speed was incredible, it took all of Gohan's will power not to lose sight of him. In a blink of an eye, the green alien was in front of the Saiyan superhero with a smirk on his face. Saiyaman threw a fast punch, but the attack passed right through him.

"What!" he exclaimed. When he turned his head to look behind him, a sudden strong force knocked him into the air. Saiyaman went flying through the air, when he was about to regain his composure, Rirk suddenly appeared in front of him, and attacked with a fast kick to his ribs. Gohan was sent higher in the air, then Dirk appeared above him, and knocked him back to the ground. As he fell, Bri teleported behind him, and gave him a strong sidekick to his chest making him bounce on the ground twice before he collided with a building. The capture squad laughed from the air as they folded their arms.

"It's a good thing lord Salga gave us these potions before we left. He must want this guy badly," Dirk said.

"Come let's see if he's still alive," Bri chuckled. The city people who were watching crowded around the hole in the building to see if their hero was still alive.

"Saiyaman?" a little boy called softly. The crowd quickly moved out of the way as the aliens walked towards the hole.

"Looks finished to me," Bri said with triumphant smile on his face. Suddenly a yellow blast shot out of the hole. The three aliens quickly dodged, and Saiyaman shot out. He fired a strong blast at Bri, who slapped it away, but while he was open, Saiyaman's fist collided with his stomach. The green soldier gasped in pain, but Saiyaman wasn't through there, the hero started pounding the green alien's face with incredibly powerful punches. The other two flew towards him with ki blasts ready. Saiyaman blasted Bri into the ground with a strong blast, then turned to the approaching two.

"Crimson Laser!" Rirk exclaimed.

"Azure blast!" Dirk shouted. Saiyaman swiftly flew to the right dodging their attacks, and raised his hands over his head.

"Masenko Ha!" The other two aliens flew higher in the air to avoid Saiyaman's attack, but a loud yell caused them to look up. "Take this!" Dirk was met with powerful boot to his chest that caused him drop out of the sky. When Rirk tried to throw a punch, Saiyaman quickly dodged, and elbowed him across his face. The hero then grabbed his foot, and shot towards the ground. When he was close enough, Saiyaman raised the solider over his head, and slammed him into the street, causing Rirk to spit out blood.

"Nice moves big guy!" a man exclaimed. Soon the entire city was cheering his name. It was like he was Herclue.

'Whoa, let's not go there,' Gohan thought. 'Mystic, I'm gonna have to thank old Kai someday. This really came in handy.' Suddenly the capture squad started to rise from their holes. Gohan was in shock, they should have at least had some broken ribs or bones, but they were getting up like nothing happened!

"Well that was fun," Bri said.

"Yeah a real blast!" Rirk laughed.

"There's no way!" Saiyaman whispered.

"Ha, Ha, ha!!!! You fool! Not only does this chemical increase our power and speed, but our endurance as well! You can do whatever you want to us, but it will take you a long time before you even break a bone!" Dirk said with a confident smile. On the sidelines Videl made a tight fist.

"How can Saiyaman fight that?" Erasa asked.

"He's gonna have to fight harder if he wants to beat these guys," Sharpener said.

'Hang in there Gohan,' Videl thought. She wanted to help, but she knew she would only make things worse for Gohan. Not only that, but she didn't stand a chance against these guys.

"Now go!" Dirk ordered. Bri and Rirk shot forward
