Chapter 6 – No need for worries
Gohan was flying to school as the golden fighter. He had assumed the role of superhero for the past week and was enjoying himself tremendously. School was easy, he had new friends and a added bonus, his mother didn't make him study so much now that he was at school. He had more time to spend at home now, training and playing with his younger brother and his best friend. Life had little worries for Son Gohan.
Gohan had to stop as he noticed some commotion down at the city. He flew down and landed. He saw a bank being robbed by five men carrying rifles on their backs; he landed and tapped one of the criminals gently on his shoulder. The criminal turned around and when he saw the golden fighter he fumbled his grip on his rifle. Once he regained composure he tried shooting Gohan.
"Don't you crooks ever learn?" he asked as he caught all the bullets and showed them to the crook.
The crook was paralyzed with fear; this sort of thing didn't happen everyday to him. He stumbled and fell on his back. Gohan lifted him by the collar and threw him against another crook knocking them both out. He then punched the lights out of the crook harassing one of the employees that was supplying him with the money, He punched one of the crooks and sent him flying against the wall and kicked the last criminal that was watching the back entrance out of the bank.
He gathered all of them and picked up a steel bar lying nearby and used it as a rope to tie the criminals together. The crowd was cheering him yet again, but his sight caught something there in the sky a jetcopter was approaching. He decided not to stay and took off in a flash of gold.
Videl arrived a minute later and noticed that the people were still cheering at the sky and noticed that she was late yet again. She looked at the sky and saw the streak of gold that was slowly dissipating.
"Darn it, I am never here on time. I have yet to see this Golden Fighter with my own two eyes, is he avoiding me or something?" she thought to herself.
Gohan however was relieved that he was gone.
"Can't let her even get a glimpse of me. Who knows what she'll deduce." He told himself.
Suddenly his watch started beeping. He was late for school yet again.
"Oh man. Late again, this superhero business eats up a lot of time." He told himself.
With a burst of Ki, he took off at incredible speeds. A few seconds later he was at school and landed on the rooftop. As he was walking the corridors he noticed that they were empty. They were usually packed with students.
"What's going on, why is there nobody here?" he thought.
Then realization hit him. He remembered that school was out today, something about Teacher's day or something. He climbed all the way back to the rooftop and took off only to almost slam onto Videl's jetcopter in the process.
"Oh no, it's her. I gotta get out of here." He mentally told himself.
Videl on the other hand had other thoughts on her head.
"Its him, he's here! Wait a minute, what is he doing here? This is a public school, unless he is one of the students," she thought.
Gohan flew in the opposite direction, but Videl followed him. She kept following him wherever he went, around buildings, over the city, under bridges and even almost touching the road, so he decided he had enough, he increased his aura to fly off.
When this happened, he noticed that the jetcopter was out of control.
"Oh no, in my rush to fly off, I jammed the jet's coordination system, she's going to fall!" he exclaimed.
Videl's jetcopter had started to fall, she braced herself for death.
Gohan caught it in mid fall and brought it to a rooftop. He opened the hatch and removed a shocked Videl from the inside and lay her down on the floor, so that she could get her breath back. She looked at him and saw nothing more than black tinted goggles and golden hair.
"Yet somehow, I find him very familiar," she thought to herself.
But she had to say something.
"Thank you Golden Fighter, for…uh…saving me and stuff," she told him.
"It's no problem at all Videl, that's what I am here for," he told her as he walked to the edge of the rooftop.
"Hey wait, don't go yet! Tell me who you are!" she demanded of him.
"You know who I am, but just for the record, I am the golden fighter," he told her and jumped off the roof.
Once Videl recovered from her shock she walked to her jetcopter and took off for school. As she arrived there she experienced the same as Gohan. It was empty.
"So he was a student, once he saw that school was out, he decided to take off for home. I am one step closer to finding out who he is. I will figure it out!" she thought to herself.
She followed in Gohan's example and took off for home.
As Gohan reached home he noticed Goten and Trunks sparring. They were incredibly strong for their age. Gohan did not have half the power they had when he was their age and Goku and Vegeta at that age were jokes compared to them. Father would have been proud of Goten, just as Vegeta tried to hide the pride he had for his son, Trunks.
"Hey Gohan, why are you back so soon?" his mother cut his thoughts.
"Oh, school was out. Forgot about it." He said.
"Okay, then you can watch Goten and Trunks for me. Bulma and I are going shopping, don't expect us so soon. There is lunch on the oven, it will take a while to be ready, so keep yourselves busy meanwhile." She told him.
"Alright mom, have fun." He called over as his mother left with Bulma.
He walked over to Goten and Trunks, who were still sparring. They noticed him coming and stopped.
"Hey Gohan, back so soon from school?" asked Goten.
"Yeah, no school today. Forgot to mention it o mom yesterday." He told them.
"Great, you want to spar?" asked Trunks.
"You two sure about that? He asked.
Trunks and Goten looked at each other and nodded.
"Oh yeah, bring it on!" they said as they got into fighting stances.
Gohan also got into his fighting stance and waited. The two rushed at him at the same time, Goten tried to punch him and Trunks tried to deliver a kick to his gut. Gohan left an after image and punched Goten into a nearby tree and kicked Trunks into the air.
Trunks and Goten got up and rushed at him again, this time with different tactics. Goten gripped Gohan's legs and Trunks fired a small ki blast to distract Gohan, but followed the blast with a flying kick. Gohan almost fell for this but at the last moment grabbed Trunks' foot and threw him against a pond. Then he grabbed Goten and threw him to the same pond.
And so the spar went on and lasted for three hours before they were exhausted and went to shower and ate lunch.
In the other dimension…
The ruler was walking up and down the isle waiting for news. They should be testing the rift today, but he had no volunteers.
"I would go, but who would run the kingdom? I have to stay, but there are no volunteers for this test and we must test it first," he told himself.
"Do not worry father, I will go," said Dyra.
"You daughter? No! I will find someone else to do it. I won't risk your life," he told her.
"No father, there is no one else. I will go and test the rift. I am also the strongest after you, I can handle myself. Don't worry about me." She told him.
"But you are my only child, I don't want to lose you," he said.
"You won't lose me father. I will be back safe and sound. I promise," she told him.
"All right then, I see that I cannot change your mind. You are as stubborn as your mother. I will inform the scientists right away. Please be careful daughter." He told her.
"I will father, I will," she replied as they parted directions.
