To Ushindi: Hey, I enjoy reading your response. I'm glad you understand the lore I've added. It's appreciated. And as for your questions.
You'll have to keep reading to find out.
Yes, I'll make a note as to how exactly the Dragon Team is as of now.
No, it's not meant to be taken too literally, it's a general scale for others to understand where everybody is in terms of Battle Power.
To abyssdoor: Uh… We'll see about that, man.
To SuperSaiyanFever: Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying my content. It's nice to work with characters I know well to provide an interesting story.
That's all for now. On with the show!
Last time on Dragon Ball Z: PRIMAL, Gohan obtained new information regarding the Super Saiyan legend. As it turned out, the Super Saiyan and the Golden Oozaru are separate myths that were told around the same time as each other. They were passed down at the same time for so long that they merged together and formed the modern retelling of the Super Saiyan legend. And after a mishap with his little brother, Goten, Gohan suddenly grew his tail back and decided to keep his tail. What will happen now that his tail is a part of him once again? Will others tend to notice this difference with his alter ego? Let's find out, now!
Another week had passed since Gohan had regained his tail. The teenager adjusted to this change given the pros and cons of this.
One of the advantages of having a Saiyan tail is that with it, a Saiyan's strength in their normal state is multiplied by 2 times. That small boost could make a difference in terms of Battle Power given how powerful enemies were in the past. Not to mention it could be stacked on top of his transformation(s). It also works as an extra limb, another method of combat with the use of his tail.
However, the drawbacks of having his tail in combat are risky. For one, simply revealing the tail could give the opponent the idea of grabbing the tail. And if what the rest of the story regarding Raditz's death holds true, that could prove to be problematic to Gohan. There's also a giant furry chaotic elephant in the room.
Speaking of which, Chi-Chi outright nearly forced Gohan to get rid of his tail because of what happened to Grandpa Gohan via Goku turning into an Oozaru and accidentally crushing him to death. She did not want her son "becoming a monster", as she put it so delicately. In fact, the only reason Chi-Chi let Gohan have his tail for the first four years of his life was because Goku convinced her to put him to sleep early every night and wait until he was old enough to withstand the pain of removing Gohan's tail permanently.
However, much to Chi-Chi and Goten's astonishment, Gohan pushed to keep his new appendage as he promised to train with it to his benefit and sleep early during the night of a full month. Chi-Chi reluctantly agreed with Gohan on keeping his tail on the condition that he find a way to keep it hidden in public.
Even though he subconsciously felt a bit offended by his mother's comment, he disregarded it and relented to his mother.
Satan Mansion, Hercule City, Age 774
Currently, the daughter of Mr. Hercule Satan has occupied the computer of her bedroom, searching the world wide web. She was continuing a personal project that she had spent a month and seven days working on outside of school and police work.
You see, ever since she's seen sightings of the "Golden Warrior", Videl has had a hunch that he was either the child who was at the Cell Games or somebody of that group of "tricksters", as Mr. Satan dubbed them. Originally, she too wrote them off as fakes and cheaters of martial arts that used smoke, mirrors, and technology.
That hot take, however, was squashed by the introduction of the Great Saiyaman.
Saiyaman, to Videl, reopened that burning curiosity that fueled her desire to acquire knowledge. Of course, she too thought of the possibility of Saiyaman being another one of the tricksters that joined more recently, but the Golden Warrior was not somebody that Videl had seen in person. In the past thirty days, she's jotted down information regarding the Saiyaman character and logically concluded that there was more to these impossible acts than what her father had claimed.
And what further spurred her new approach to her investigation of the Cell Games and these special individuals was none other than her new classmate and friend, Son Gohan.
One thing that Videl noticed about Gohan was his demeanor. He was mild-mannered, soft-spoken, and very polite. Not something you usually see in the world that she currently lives in. Of course, this wouldn't be too suspicious if the spiky-haired mountain boy wasn't so nervous.
To Videl, nervousness isn't something that a person has if either you haven't done anything wrong, or if you aren't trying to hide something. Not to mention that he would randomly appear and disappear during and outside of school according to Sharpner and Erasa. And the fact that Gohan had been dodging certain questions and made up lame excuses proved her point that he was indeed keeping something from her.
Many things.
One of them was that Gohan was the son of the legendary (and controversial) Son Goku.
This had led Videl into suspecting that Gohan might be the new vigilante that was under the helmet. Of course, according to his mother, he's a normal scholar who did not like fighting.
...Yet, that answer didn't sit right with Videl. In her eyes, there was more to Son Gohan than meets the eye. And her theory still stood. Saiyaman and Gohan might be connected not only towards each other but maybe keys to who the Golden Warrior is and the mystery surrounding the Cell Games.
But first, she needed evidence to validate her theory.
Videl stretched her hands as she was typing and searching up articles relating to the 21-23 Tenkaichi Būdokai tournaments. From there, she used the articles and available footage to find anything relating to Son Goku himself, as not a lot of info could be found about the martial artist.
"Hm...Okay. According to most articles, Gohan's dad was one of the youngest fighters to participate in the Tenkaichi Būdokai. Wow, made it to the finals twice in a row! Tricks or not, he must have been crazy strong, even before facing off the Demon King. it says here that Goku was the youngest combatant to become a World Champion too…" Videl said, taking down notes.
Videl was looking at other information when she noticed the insignia that was shown to be on the back of his gi. The symbol is translated as "turtle".
'Wait, turtle!?'
Digging deeper, Videl realized where the wore the symbol on the back
Goku's orange gi originated. It seemed that Goku was lucky enough to have been taught under a legendary martial artist.
Videl screamed, "...That's the emblem of the Kamesenryu! The Turtle School! That means Gohan's dad was a student under the invincible Muten Rōshi!"
Despite the myths surrounding Muten Rōshi and his seemingly impossible feats, the revelation made sense to Videl. There had been video footage of "trick attacks" being used by several people during the past tournaments and Goku (along with three other people) had been seen performing an attack that was speculated to have been speculated that Rōshi created.
The Kamehameha wave.
'Ah ha! Finally, a breakthrough! Now, what about the flying trick...' Videl said, proud of her findings. 'Wasn't that Tenshinhan guy floating at one point? I'm one of the tournaments?
Videl spent another hour in the morning researching, and she learned some more shocking news. From there, she caught a picture of a younger Tien, Chaotzu, and a strange older man who all had a symbol that said "crane".
"N-No way!" Videl gasped. "The previous World Champion, Tenshinhan, used to study under the Tsurusenryu, the Crane School. Rival of the Turtle School. ...And their flying trick comes from them! Bukujutsu!"
After writing that down, Videl began to think to herself.
'Okay. Let's think about what I know about Gohan. His dad is Son Goku. And Goku knows those tricks from the Cell Games because he was taught under a supposed martial arts legend. He's the previous champ. He fought Tenshinhan, who was the champion before Goku. And Tenshinhan was trained under the rival school of Goku's discipline. And Saiyaman can fly. ...That makes sense, but how would I tie Saiyaman and Gohan both together? I'd have to find something that only Gohan and Saiyaman share that can't be explained.'
She would have continued her thought, but she was cut off by a few knocks on the door.
"VIDEL, SWEETPEA! IT'S 7:30! YOU BEST GO OFF TO SCHOOL BEFORE YOU'RE LATE! NO DAUGHTER OF MINE'S GONNA BE TARDY UNLESS SHE'S BEATING UP SCUM LIKE HER FATHER! BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Videl blushed at her father's antics as she sighed.
"Why does he have to be so embarrassing…?"
Orange Star High, Hercule City, Age 774
Orange Star High had a rotating schedule. That meant that each day starts off with the next period. For example, if Friday started off with the 1st period, Monday will have the 2nd period as the beginning period with the first period being the last.
And the last period of the day for Gohan was his 4th period, Calculus.
"Welcome back, Mr. Son" Ms. Sansu, the Calculus teacher, greeted our young hero. "Nice to see that you came on time for a change,"
This caused most of the class to laugh a bit at Gohan's expense. Gohan, keeping up his meek appearance, mentally groaned, feeling his Saiyan Pride being hurt.
'...Who's idea was it to and suit up to stop and help an old lady street with all of her twenty dogs? Oh yeah...me. Immature little shits! ...Woah! ...Did I just think that? Huh, didn't know where that came from.''
"Sorry, ma'am. I haven't been sleeping well at home lately. I'll try not to make it a habit as best as I can." Gohan lied, rubbing the back of his head.
"It's quite alright, Mr. Son. I am very well versed in how long of a journey you take to arrive here," Ms. Sansu understood, gesturing to Gohan to take his seat.
Gohan did so, sitting next to Erasa, with Videl and Sharpner nearby too.
"Hey, Son-kun!" Erasa greeted in a small voice, happy to see her new friend. "Last night was pretty rough on you, huh?"
"Yeah… it was. I didn't get a whole lot of sleep." He replied, thinking back to the nightmares he's been receiving since his father died.
Sharpner, slightly concerned, asked, "Do you feel like...you know, talk about it? You've been acting out of it all day."
"...I-I rather not." Gohan frowned, looking down in a somber manner.
The group fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say to him. Videl, understanding Gohan's pain from the loss of her mother, couldn't help but try to speak.
"Hey...we may not have known each other for very long, but we're here if you need somebody to talk to. We're friends, remember?"
Gohan looked over to the trio and smiled gratefully, nodding.
"...Right."
Erasa also commented on how stylish Gohan's new belt was, which he quickly thanked before going back to note-taking. Videl, looking at Gohan's "belt" mentally added that detail into her notes about Gohan.
Soon, the last period came and went like the wind. Once the bell rang, students poured out of the classrooms left to socialize, hang out, and perform other extracurricular activities.
Gohan was walking about until a certain pig-tailed girl caught up with him.
"Hey, Gohan!"
Gohan turned to see a not too amused Videl Satan. And his friend had a sharp glare that meant she was on the hunt for answers.
Gulping, Gohan said, "H-Hey, Videl-san! I didn't see you there. How's it going?"
"Don't give me that, Son Gohan! You haven't spoken much to us lately! Not to mention it's the fourth time this week that you've come in late! What's been going on with you?" She asked, placing her hands on her hips.
Sharpner and Erasa followed closely behind Videl, watching the exchange.
"W-Well, like I said before, I haven't been sleeping very well," Gohan repeated, hoping to be in the clear.
"And I think that you're full of crap!" Videl said boldly, pointing at Gohan.
Gohan flinched at the tone of the crime fighter's voice.
"For the past three weeks, you've been either showing up to class between five to ten minutes late or suddenly taking off in the middle of class right after I leave to do my work! And every time Sharpner, Erasa, or I were to ask about it, you'd come up some lame-ass excuse!"
At this point, Gohan's face turned pale.
'Crap! How is she reading me like this so easily?!'
Reading his face, Videl formed a knowing smile as she concluded, "I think that you're hiding something from us, Gohan."
"What do you mean, Videl-san? What do I have to hide?" The half-Saiyan asked seemingly innocently.
That was followed up with a weary laugh, which was to relieve the overall stress that Gohan felt by Videl pressuring him.
Erasa simply shook her head, thinking, 'She's been at this for nearly a month with no signs of giving up. I haven't seen anything quite like this, over a boy too It's! It's official, Videl's definitely crushing big time!'
Videl spoke, "I'm not sure just yet... But it's only a matter of time before you slip up while I'm watching you. So whatever you're hiding from us, I will figure it out soon or later. However, I have bigger fish to fry."
"Of course," Sharpner scoffed. "You've been so busy chasing caped bozos that you haven't even batted an eye at me. I'm hurt, babe. Whatever happened to us? We were so close."
"Zip it, Crayon! There was never an 'us' to begin with!"
Erasa, walking between Videl and Gohan, said, "Okay, okay. I think that's enough to interrogate Son-kun for today."
Erasa then winked at Gohan, who gratefully thanked her by smiling at her.
Videl was about to retort when the communicator in her watch started to go off.
"Son of a–Ugh! Duty calls guys… I'll see you tomorrow. And don't think this over, Gohan! Not by a long shot!" She said as she took off from campus to get her DynoCap holding her jetcopter out to dematerialize.
Gohan sighed in relief before smiling at Erasa.
"That's, Erasa-san. You're a lifesaver."
"It's fine, Son-kun," Erasa waved off. "I know Videl can come off as being a bit pushy and nosy but she has a good reason for it. Videl normally doesn't let anybody hang out with her."
"What do you mean?" Asked Gohan.
Sharpener explained, "I guess you wouldn't get it, being a mountain boy. See, Videl's the daughter of not only the strongest man in the world but also one of the richest people in the world. Mr. Satan's loaded and has a great amount of influence through the media, marketing, and other things that he invests in. You can imagine how many parents would try and encourage their kids to befriend Videl for her father's fame. It was hard for her to make out who truly cares for Videl and not the daughter of the World Champ."
Feeling guilty, Gohan averted his eyes to the floor.
'Gosh… No wonder why Videl acts like that. People tried to use her for worth as Hercule's kid in the past. That must have made her skeptical and untrusting of others for a while. And I'm not helping her case with how I'm acting… Still, the less she knows, the better everyone is off. I have a good reason.' Gohan thought to himself.
"...I see."
"You know what? I think what Videl's on to something," Sharpener said out of the blue. "I know that you eat three times more than the average guy, but I can't say that I completely buy you having bad food. Your mom's cooking is perfect."
"Hm… They do have a point. Now I'm curious. Where do you run off to?" Erasa asked.
Gohan was then caught between a rock and a hard place. He didn't know what to say. Anything he would come up with would have been dismantled.
"I...erm...I don't know what to-" Gohan said, trying to talk his way out of an explanation when he sensed Videl's ki moving away. "-I got to go guys! We'll talk later!"
Gohan turned his heel and ran off upstairs to the roof of the school, dropping his messenger bag!
"Son-kun! Wait! Your bag!" Erasa called out, grabbing Gohan's bag.
Sharpner, looking at Erasa, said, "Come on! Let's follow him!"
Nodding to each other, Sharpner and Erasa followed Gohan to the top of the roof.
The two blond(e)s opened the door to see Gohan on top of the balcony of Orange Star High.
Erasa was going to call out to Gohan, only for Sharpner to cover her mouth as they moved to the side of the building where the door was while crouching.
"Don't make a sound," He said. "We're going to figure this guy out. Let's see what he's up to quietly."
Gohan, looking around to see nobody nearby, pressed the red button on his watch. Suddenly, a bright light enveloped his body, changing him to his alter ego.
"Alright, now to get to Videl-san! Hopefully, I won't be too late!" Saiyaman spoke aloud before taking off to the skies, leaving two of his classmates' jaws dropped.
"H-Holy shit!" Sharpner stuttered, staggering a bit as he stood up.
Erasa, following Sharpner, said, "I can't believe my eyes right now. Son-kun… h-he's Saiyaman. Oh my gosh! We're friends with a superhero!"
"I knew it… I knew there was something off about him! But I never thought he'd be a lying trickster! Tch! I shouldn't be surprised given who his father is."
SMACK!
Sharpner was sent to the floor by a surprisingly strong slap from a glaring Erasa.
"AGH! 'RASA! What the hell was that for!?" The boxer shouted, holding his stinging right cheek.
"For acting like an asshole!" Erasa screamed while her face burned red in anger, frightening Sharpner's entire being.
"Hey! I've got a good reason-"
"Oh no, you don't Sharpner Crayon!" Erasa interrupted harshly. "Son-kun's been nothing but nice and polite to us and you end up making fun of him just because he's smart and because you're jealous of the attention he gets from Videl! There's absolutely no reason for you to treat him like the scum of the Earth!"
Sharpner scowled, saying, "Sure, bring up the fact that he's an anti-social bookworm who somehow gets my crush's attention! How original! Are we not going to address the giant caped elephant in the fucking room?! He's been lying to us for a month! He'd been using his school life as a cover to go and parade in the streets using those stupid dirty tricks Mr. Satan was talking about! I bet this was a ploy or a publicity stunt to gain fifteen minutes of fame while luring Videl into a trap! Open your eyes, Erasa! Brains is a fraud, just like the oth-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, SHARPNER!"
...The jock's mouth closed when he saw Erasa, who started to tear up but showed no signs of letting her anger go.
"You're the one who's blind! Son-kun has been nothing but nice to us and there you go again bashing on him! Have you forgotten all the good he's done for Hercule city? He saved many lives including Videl's! Not to mention that Son-kun had never even heard of her when we met him last month! Besides, why would he care about fame when his dad, tricks or not, did the exact same thing as Mr. Satan when that Demon King guy was still around?"
"..."
"Shame on you," Erasa spat, "How could you say something like that about your friend?! Do you have no respect for the deceased?!"
"...W-What? Deceased!? What are you saying?"
"He's dead, Sharpner! Son-kun's father died seven years ago! According to Videl, his mom said that he was killed by Cell!"
Sharpner paused, feeling a wave of guilt crashing on him. Of course, he was still angry at Gohan for lying about his 'extracurricular' activities, but even if his father was a 'trickster', he didn't know he was mocking a dead man.
Erasa, taking a piece of tissue out from her pocket, wiped the running makeup off her face as she continued.
"Look. Yes, Son-kun may have lied to us. And there are things about himself that like to keep private. To be honest, that's in his right. Though, I'm sure there is an explanation behind all of this. We just have to talk to the guy," Erasa reasoned, picking Sharpner up. " Regardless of his secrecy, he hasn't done a thing for you to warrant the crap you put him through. This animosity and jealousy towards Son-kun need to stop, Sharpie!"
"B-B-But he's a trick-"
"I mean it!" Erasa screeched firmly, not making up room for debate. "This ends today!"
"Okay! Okay! Kami, I'll do it." He grumbled in defeat.
Erasa smiled, "Good! Now, let's wait for Son-kun to get back. Knowing him, his mother wouldn't be too happy if she learned he left his messenger bag at school."
"I guess that sounds like a plan… So do we tell Videl? I'm pretty sure she would need to know about this." Sharpner asked.
Erasa merely shook her head, stating, "No, that wouldn't be fair to either Son-kun or Videl. As Saiyaman, he's done so much for the city. To tell Vi that may cause trouble for him. If we confront Son-kun about this, he'll have no choice but to spill the beans. Besides, Videl loves to figure stuff out. Telling her now would screw that up."
"...I guess that makes…" Sharpner muttered.
"Besides, Videl likes mysterious men." The pixie cut blonde chirped.
"Aw, come on Erasa! Really?"
Shaking her head, Erasa admitted, "Let's be honest Sharpner, Videl sees you as a close friend, a brother even. But you and Videl as a couple? Not happening."
The long-haired boy bowed his head hysterically, sad at the revelation he was now confronted with.
-Time Skip, Michelle's Paradise Hotel, Hercule City, Fifteen Minutes Later-
Videl flew across the city in her famous jetcopter until she saw a familiar set of white buildings that were currently surrounded by seven police cars.
This was Michelle's Paradise, a hotel named after her late mother, Michelle Ashuya neé Satan.
It originally was a vacation where she, Mr. Satan, and Michelle used to go on special holidays or events. Michelle always loved the place as all the fond memories she made held a special place in her heart.
By the time Videl's mother passed away from cancer and Hercule became the savior of the world, he bought the hotel and renamed it after the love of his life.
Now, every time Videl passed the hotel, she couldn't help but think about the faint fond memories she held of Michelle.
'Mom…don't worry, I'll get these pricks for messing with our spot!' She thought with conviction.
She landed her vehicle on a clear spot while the chief of police awaited her arrival rather eagerly.
"What's the sitch, chief?" Videl asked, getting out of her jetcopter.
"It's the Red Shark Gang again, Videl. But this time, they've gone full-on terrorist and they're not alone either" The police chief explained. "With the help of an assassin, the Red Sharks managed to take over the hotel with two dozen hostages in the clutches. Two of them being the mayor and his daughter."
"Damn it! What do they want?"
The chubby police chief shook his head, "...He demands five million in zeni and a fight with Mr. Satan himself."
'Of course, they've wanted to take out Dad ever since he's gotten huge in popularity. After all, their hold on criminal activities is tight. Too bad, Dad is too much of a busy man to be dealing with these pathetic lowlives anyways.' Videl frowned in thought.
"Videl, What's the best choice of action?" The officer asked.
The crime fighter turned to the older cop and said, "Watch for any other dangerous activities from the outside. I'm going to straighten this out personally."
"W-Wait a minute, Videl! It's too dangerous There's too many of them out there and they could kill you—" The cop tried to explain but it was too late.
Just like that, the young lady made a dash into the revolving doors, entering the hotel.
Many of the officers silently prayed for the safety of Videl, hoping that she would make it out in one piece.
"Look, up in the sky!"
Seconds after Videl's charge into the hotel, a flying figure made an appearance in the form of the Great Saiyaman.
Descending to where the police were located, Saiyaman noticed Videl's yellow flying vehicle with a lack of said teenager.
"May I speak to the chief of police, please?" Saiyaman requested in a deep, mature, and confident manner.
Said officer walked up to him, saying, "Ah! Saiyaman! Thank Kami you're here! Just in time too, because Videl just rushed inside!"
"What is the problem, sir?"
The chief explained to him how the Red Shark Gang teamed up with a deadly assassin to take the hotel hostage in order to lure Mr. Satan there.
"Ah...I see."
Looking at Saiyaman's visor, the chief stated, "Look son, I was skeptical of you and your tricks at the beginning. But that doesn't matter right now. I've known that girl since she was ten. Videl's bright and righteous with a beautiful heart. However, she's as stubborn as her parents. There's nobody quite like her. She's like a niece to me. I don't want to see her hurt or worse,"
He took off his hat and, continuing by saying, "Your service, tricks or not, has proved to me that you've got the same intentions as Videl. So I'm asking you, Saiyaman, not as a police officer, but as a man. Please, make sure she comes back safe and sound."
The Great Saiyaman, touched by the chief's words, said with a smile and a thumbs-up, "Of course, sir. I only help when I'm needed."
"Alright then, Saiyaman. We're counting on you. Go get 'em, son."
Lifting off the ground once again, Gohan flew up to the main building, crashing through a window in the process.
The masked vigilante ended up landing in a darkened room. Judging from the number "36" that was on the wall, he'd guess that he was on the thirty-sixth floor of the hotel.
Gohan used the new night vision feature in his helmet to scan the area for anybody. Not detecting anybody on the floor, the half-Saiyan closed his eyes to pick up any ki signatures, with Videl being a high priority.
'Okay… it seems that everybody is held in one spot somewhere below. The first floor it seems. Shit! Videl's nearly there too. I better hurry and make it down there before she and the other hostages get hurt! I still don't know how dangerous this "assassin" truly is!'
Finding a door leading to a staircase, Gohan dived down before slowing his fall, landing on the ground softly as he entered the very long hallway that led him to the lobby.
Sensing where she was and the distress that her ki signature was giving off, Gohan could only sigh in frustration.
'For Dende sake! Why does she always do this? I know she's a capable fighter with pride that could match Vegeta nearly but this is ridiculous! She's going to get herself killed one of these days!' Both his human and Saiyan side thought at the same time as he approached the auditorium with haste.
In under two minutes, Saiyaman busted through the wall of the auditorium, gaining everybody's attention.
The caped vigilante arrived just in the nick of time too. As a result of Videl jumping into the crime scene, she was held in a grapple where her neck and head were restricting her movements, courtesy of a large man who resembled a certain bald alien warrior Gohan fought in the past.
This was Rock, leader of the Red Shark Gang, and held a revolver pointed at the side of the struggling Videl's head.
His other two lackeys, Jimbo (the brown-haired guy with a green shirt) and Slimjim (the black-haired guy with shades on) held firearms with around six other members, keeping watch over the hostages including the Hercule City mayor and his seven-year-old daughter.
"Look who is finally here, boss! Mr. Boy Scout himself!" Slimjim heckle.
The gang began to laugh at Saiyaman with an evil cackle.
Videl too was eying her unofficial partner, not that she'd ever wanted his help. In fact, aside from trying to escape Rock's strong grip, she was seething at the audacity of Saiyaman trying to steal her thunder once more.
'Seriously, him again!? Why does this bastard always show up and do my fucking job! I don't need his help! How did he even show up here so fast!? It took me seven minutes to find everybody! Ooo, I hate this guy! Just wait until I get out of here!'
"We've been expecting you, Great Saiyaman," Rock spoke calmly and smoothly with a hint of malice behind his words. "I take it that you heard our demands, no?"
"I have," Saiyaman responded in a cold voice. "And both requests have been denied. Release everybody and call off your goons, or else."
Rock and the others were laughing at Saiyaman again, agitating him further on the inside.
"How cute. Do you actually think that you're going to stop us? I don't think so, freak. You see, Saiyaman, I found somebody that can match your dirty little tricks."
"DODONPA!"
Suddenly, a yellow blast of ki of was shot towards Gohan, only for the half-Saiyan to smack it out the window with his left hand, causing the civilians to scream in terror.
Jumping from the ceiling, a newcomer landed with the grace of a crane. This also took Videl and many other civilians by surprise.
'No way! That can't be…!' Gohan thought to himself as the figure reveal himself.
Standing in front of him was an aged martial artist whose upper face was replaced by built-in binoculars and a chrome-plated dome on his head. The man possessed a pointed nose, a small thin mustache, and black hair tied into a braided ponytail. He wears a pink chang pao with a symbol on it that translates to the word "kill" on the front.
"You've grown up to be quite a nuisance…haven't you, boy?"
To Be Continued...
It looks like our teenage crime fighter has his work cut out for him. With a familiar yet confident assassin taking the stance as an adversary for Gohan, saving Videl and the hostages will be a lot more difficult. How will Gohan and Videl get through this ordeal? And what would come of Erasa and Sharpner's discovery of Gohan's secret identity? We find out next time on Dragon Ball Z: PRIMAL!
Author's Note: Aw shit! It's about to go down! Gohan and Videl's got a mercenary to deal with! Let's see what happens next time!
