CHAPTER ONE: UNIVERSITY LIFE
Narrator
Clears throat. Previously on Dragon Ball Z! Gohan took a major step in life. He entered High School. Then on his first day he met Videl, a feisty raven haired teen girl, who in an unexpected twist of fate was discovered to be a Half-Saiyan just like him and what started out as an odd sort of rivalry quickly grew into a friendship which quickly blossomed into a romance. Then a day that should have been filled with fun and joyful reunions soon turned into a nightmare as the evil wizard Babidi unleashed a force of pure evil onto the world, Majin Buu but Gohan with the aid of Videl and the rest of the Z-Fighters succeeded in vanquishing the evil that was Majin Buu and once again brought peace to the universe. Two years have passed and now Gohan and Videl prepare to take the next big step in their lives...College all the while a new but familiar threat waits in the wings.
Son Residence
On a cold fall day Gohan was saying fair well to his family.
"Are you sure you have everything?" Chi-Chi inquired
"Yes, Mom." Gohan replied.
"Toothbrush?"
"Yes, Mom."
"Deodorant?"
"Yes, Mom."
"Clean underwear?"
"Mom, I have everything covered. Don't worry."
"Of course I'm worried. My boy going off to college. He's all grown up and leaving me alone forever!"
"Mom, relax. The university's just in Satan City. I can visit you plenty of times."
"And ya still got me, mom." Goten chimed in.
"That I do." Chi-Chi replied as she rustled his hair. "Now where is your father. He said he'd be here to see you off."
And right on cue, the front door swung open with Goku standing in the doorway carrying an absurdly large fish over his shoulder.
"Sorry I'm late, Chi-Chi. The sparring session with Vegeta ran longer than I thought. He also kept asking when you were going to stop by for another one on one. I think his exact words were 'Tell that half-breed boy of yours that we still have an unfinished business.'"
Gohan simply chuckled nervously.
"Then I saw this really nice tuna while flying back and I just had to catch it."
"It's alright, Dad." Gohan replied. "I'm just glad you could make it."
"So ya all set for the big day?"
"Yep."
"Oh, Bulma also wanted me to tell you to expect a big surprise when you get to the university.
"Wonder what that could mean?" Gohan wondered just before his watch started beeping loudly.
"Looks like it's time to go. I love you guys."
Gohan gave his parents and little brother a big group hug before heading out the door.
Satan House
"Do you have enough notepads? Number two pencils? Toothbrush? Dental floss? Mouthwash? Dental hygiene is important ya know.
"Dad! Dad! Settle down." Videl replied as she placed her hand on his shoulder. "You're going to give yourself an aneurysm."
"I'm sorry sweet-pea. Today's just such a big day."
"I know I'm the one who should be nervous not you."
"And besides, dear, she's not even going to have to leave the city thanks to the new state of the art Satan University." Vidalia stated.
"I still can't believe the opened an entire university in your name."
"Well, I am a two-time savior of the world after all."
Videl and Vidalia looked at each other and then at Mr. Satan before letting out a good laugh.
"Hey, what's so funny?"
"Nothing, Dear."
"I'm surprised you're still here, Mom. I thought Vegeta asked you to spar with him and Goku today."
"No way. There's a Battle Ball game on today and I am not missing it. Oh, and of course I wanted to say goodbye to my daughter too."
"I love you too, Mom." Videl chuckled.
Suddenly the sound of a loud car horn honking was heard from outside.
"That must be, Erasa. Guess it's time to go."
Videl gave her parents one last big hug before she headed out the door, walked down entrance way and waited for the large gate to slowly open.
"Ah, screw this." Videl stated as she easily jumped over the 50-foot gate and landed in the passenger seat of Erasa's car.
"I don't think I'll ever get used to that." Erasa stated, her eyes slightly
"Eh, just give it time."
"So, bestie, ready for our first day as bono fide college students?"
"It's bona fide, Erasa, and Yes I am."
"Eh, I'll probably be doing more flirting than studying anyway."
"I'm sitting right here you know." Sharpner spoke up from the back seat, his hair was now dyed a light brown.
"Relax, sweetie. A little flirting never heart nobody. You're still my man."
"Well, shall we get going?" Videl inquired.
"Pedal to metal!' Erasa exclaimed as she slammed her foot on the gas pedal.
Satan City University
.'Alright, if they haven't arrived yet, they should be here any minute now..." Gohan thought as he flew high over the new Satan University, a state of the art university sporting an ultra-modern design and a campus big enough to fit a small town. Gohan landed near behind a bush close to the entrance arch making sure no one saw him as he didn't a bunch of attention brought to himself.
"Now where are they?" Gohan said out loud just before a shiny red convertible sports car came barreling past him.
"Yep...That's gotta be..."
The car stopped suddenly before backing up and stopping in front of Gohan.
"My neck!" Sharpner exclaimed.
"Suck it up, ya baby." Erasa replied. "Hey there Mr. Hero, hop in. Actually, I think I'll let Videl take over the driving so you can sit next to her."
"Oh thank god..." Sharpner stated as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Hey Sharpner, what's with the new look?"
"He was tired of people thinking we were related." Erasa replied.
"People kept giving me weird looks when I told them we were dating..."
"Hey, Gohan." Videl greeted.
"Hey, Videl." Gohan replied as got in the car and gave Videl a hug.
"Aw come on don't just hug her. Give her a big smooch."
Gohan gave Videl a quick peck on the cheek before Videl grabbed him and planted a big smooch on his lips causing Gohan to turn redder than a Vegeta after someone mocks his pride.
"Aw, he's so adorable when he's embarrassed." Erasa chirped
"I know right."
"Can we go now? There's a bed with my name on it."
Satan University Condo
"It sure was nice of Bulma to pitch in for this place." Erasa stated as they entered the living area of the condo.
"Yeah, Brains, I thought I was going to after stay in a shitty dorm but now we get to stay in a freaking penthouse."
"It's even bigger than I thought it'd be." Videl stated as she began to look around the place.
There were three floors, plenty of living and kitchen space, a gym, which took up the majority of the third floor, and 8 bedrooms.
"Why so many bedrooms?" Videl wondered. "I thought it was just going to be the four of us?"
"Well, Bulma did mention something about a surprise."
Just as Gohan said that the main door to the condo opened up and in walked a young man, with shoulder length lavender hair (And yes his hair is lavender, not blue because it would make no damn sense for his hair to be inexplicably blue with no explanation, especially if the kid version of him still has lavender hair! Why the hell does nobody in the series question this! Why does Bulma say "Does he have blue hair?" like it's always been that color? This really shouldn't bug me that much but it does dammit! And yes I realize saying "inexplicably with no explanation" is very redundant but that's just how frustrating I find this!) wearing a longsleeved periwinkle jacket, dark grey jeans with a red belt, and pale green boots.
"Trunks?" Gohan declared as he saw not Kid Trunks but his counter part standing in the doorway.
"Gohan!" Trunks exclaimed as he walked in and gave his friend a hug.
"Trunks?" Erasa wondered. "That ain't Trunks. Trunks is still a kid."
"It's a long story, Erasa." Gohan replied. "But this is Trunks. He's just from the future."
"The future?"
"Like I said it's a long story. I'll explain everything later."
"I'm not even going to question it." Sharpner stated. "I'm still trying to process the whole Saiyan thing."
"Trunks, what are you doing here?"
"Well..."
Flashback – Age 787 – Capsule Corp
"College in the past?"
"Yes, I've been talking to myself in the past and she said a new university just opened there. It's supposed to have great courses."
"Why can't I just go to college h...Wait, you were talking to yourself in the past, how?"
"Oh, I just invented a phone that can communicate with our alternate past timeline. Exactly eleven years in the past. It was nothing really."
"Right. Anyway, why can't I...Wait why exactly eleven?"
"Time is weird, Sweety."
"Well, I can't say you're wrong there but like I was saying why can't I got to college here?"
"Because of the damage caused by the Androids our school system is in shambles and I want you to have the best education possible."
"But what about the people? Who will be here to protect them?"
"Don't worry about that. Things have been peaceful for a while now and if something comes up I can always contact you in the past."
The present
"And here I am."
"Well, it's good to see you, again. Hard to believe it's been seven years. It's been too long."
"Actually for me, it's only been a two but I agree it has been too long. You sure grew up. You're actually taller than me now. It's kind of weird though, you look nearly identical to how you looked in my time just maybe not as...stoic."
"Aren't you going to introduce me?" A female voice rang out from behind Trunks.
"Oh sorry, Mai."
Trunks stepped to the side and in walked a woman with long straight black hair and ruby red lipstick. She was fairly tall standing barely shorter than Trunks and wore long a blue jacket with a yellow circle and red star on the right sleeve, slightly baggy yellow pants, black boots, and a green beanie.
"Everyone, this is my um friend, Mai."
"Nice to meet you all." Mai greeted.
"Well let me you both introduce to everyone." Gohan stated. "This is Sharpner, Erasa, and my girlfriend Videl.
"So you're the famous Gohan, huh." Mai stated. "Trunks has told me a lot about you and I must say you are way more handsome than I thought you'd be."
"And Gohan's told me a lot about you, Trunks." Videl stated. "You're quite the looker yourself."
Trunks and Gohan faces each turned redder than a sunburned Albino Namekian causing Videl and Mai to laugh.
"I think everyone here is going to get along great!" Erasa squealed.
"Okay so there's 6 people now but that still leaves two bedrooms unaccounted for." Gohan stated.
"Excuse me is this apartment number 749?" Another voice inquired
Everyone turned to see a Namekian, standing close to 7 feet tall, with a solid muscular build and strong jawline wearing a purple long-sleeved baggy deep v-neck tunic with matching pants tied together with a red sash, a white cloth ring around his neck and traditional Namekian boots.
"Good, I'm Gar. I call the room on the top left." The Namekian replied before heading straight into the room and slamming the door behind him.
"I guess that makes seven."
"So that would leave one more."
And right on cue, the eighth person approached.
An average looking Joe with no interesting features to note.
"I'm Kannon Fotter but you can just call me Kan."
"And that's eight."
"We're like one big happy family!" Erasa squealed again.
Several Hours Later
After everyone was settled in Gohan, Videl, Trunks, Mai, Erasa, Sharpner, and Kan decided to meet up on the roof.
Everyone sat around a crackling fire pit as they admired the beautiful starlit sky.
"The night sky is so beautiful!" Erasa exclaimed.
"Not as beautiful as you babe." Sharpner replied.
"Ah, you're so sweet."
"Any sweeter and I'm gonna barf." Trunks said jokingly while feigning a vomiting motion.
"So you're really from the future?" Erasa inquired to Trunks.
"Yes, I am."
"What's it like?" Sharpner inquired. "Is there like flying cars and instant food and stuff?"
"We have all of that now Sharpner." Gohan replied.
"Oh right."
"My world is still in a state of recovery after two deadly androids killed the Z-Warriors including my father. Gohan managed to survive but eventually, they got him too. Thousands of people perished at their hands before they were stopped..."
Everyone sat in silence as a somber feeling filled the air.
"Sooo Videl's a half-Saiyan like us." Gohan said to Trunks in an attempt to break the awkward silence.
"Oh really? How is that even possible? I thought My dad and yours were the only two full-blooded Saiyans left?"
"Well that's a bit of a long story but to give you an abridged version it turns out Videl's mom was a full-blooded Saiyan who had made her way to Earth as a kid, but that's not even the most interesting part. Guess who her father is."
"Who?"
"The one and only Mr. Satan." Videl replied.
"You mean that blowhard from the Cell games?"
"Yep." Gohan replied. "Though to most people, he's the champ and two-time savior of the world. How do you think the university and the city got their names."
"Yeah, I was wondering about that."
"After I defeated Cell, Mr. Satan swooped in and took all the credit."
"And you just let him do it?" Mai inquired.
"Yeah. I was more than happy too."
"Figures. Even in my time, you were never one for fame and glory."
"And with the recent threat, Majin Buu."
"You defeated Majin Buu?" Trunks replied.
"You're familiar with him?"
"Yes. Shortly after I defeated, Cell. I was approached by the Supreme Kai and Kibito. I was able to take out Babidi and his minions before Majin Buu was released but you actually faced him and stopped him. I heard his strength was supposed to be monstrous, beyond belief."
"It wasn't easy I'll tell you. We all fought tooth and nail. Videl, her mother, your father and mine as well Krillin and the others. We all gave everything we had to stop him or them...The Majin Buu thing was pretty complicated.
"But in the end, it was Gohan that put Buu away for good." Videl stated.
"Wow, I can't imagine my dad working well with others."
"Well, Vegeta's changed a lot. He's not that selfish prideful warrior that's willing to get others killed to serve his own goals."
"Although he still has a lot of pride." Videl added.
"And he's still very much a warrior." Gohan replied. "But your father's a pretty good guy now. Although there was that hiccup when he was possessed by evil and killed half a stadium full of people."
"Yeah, that does sound like my fa...Wait, what?"
"Um never mind that." Gohan replied rubbing the back of his head nervously. "But I think what truly set him on the path of good was seeing your death at the hands of Cell. You truly changed him Trunks."
"Wow, you guys are really into role-playing." Kan spoke up. "I like a bit of LARPING myself but you guys are really dedicated."
"Um, we're not..." Trunks began to reply.
"Just roll with it." Gohan interrupted.
"Anyway, Why don't you tell us about yourself, Mai?" Videl inquired.
"My stories not really interesting."
"Aw come on, I wanna know how ya met Trunks." Erasa pleaded.
"Okay well, that one's easy. We met a year ago which I guess would be six years from now in this timeline. I was working as a part-time security guard on a rebuilding sight for a property owned by Capsule Corp.
"A security guard? You don't strike me as the type." Videl replied.
"Don't let her looks fool you." Trunks replied. "Mai is pretty skilled in hand to hand combat and she's an ace with a rifle."
"Trunks was visiting the sight doing some inspection work for his mother when a gang decided to rob the place or maybe they were trying to make it their new headquarters. Not sure, I didn't really pay attention to their demands."
"You should have seen her. She took out nearly half the gang with her rifle before I even got a punch in."
"You were pretty impressive yourself. I've never seen anyone take out thugs with their bare hands like that. Not since Go...Go...Gooo on Trunks, why don't you tell them the rest."
"Sure. Shortly after making sure all the gang members were tied up. My mom arrived and after hearing what she did, offered her a job as head of security at Capsule Corp."
"And when Bulma decided to send Trunks off to College she asked if I would like to go along. So I took her up on the offer."
"Ah, that sounds so romantic." Erasa squealed.
"Romantic!?" Mai and Trunks both exclaimed. "Not we're not. I mean she's/he's not. Look we're just friends."
Both Mai and Trunks' faces turned a shade of red rivaling that of a red dwarf.
"Ah, they're in denial. That's so cute." Videl teased.
"We're not!"
A devilish smile formed on Erasa's face. She knew exactly what her mission was going to be, playing matchmaker.
"So anyway what's up with that Gar guy?" Trunks wondered desperately trying to change the subject.
"I knocked on his door and asked if he'd like to join us." Gohan replied. "He just said maybe but I guess he decided against."
"Alright, I guess we should turn in for the night. It's starting to get pretty late and we got class orientations tomorrow." Videl stated.
"You're right." Gohan replied. "But first I almost forgot about you, Kan. Why don't you tell us a little about yourself?"
"Alright. Well, I was born and raised in a small suburb in East City. I married my high school sweetheart the day we graduated. She would have been with me here at college but we found out she was pregnant that same day. We're expecting twins."
"Congrats man." Sharpner replied.
"Thanks."
"Anyway, I think it's about time to call it a night." Gohan stated.
Everyone night in agreement before heading inside. Everyone said goodnight before heading to their individual rooms however when they opened their doors they were all soaked by buckets of ice-cold water that had been placed on each of their doorways.
"Someone's dead meat!" Sharpner exclaimed.
Gar's door suddenly burst opened as he broke out into an uncontrollable laughter.
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha. I can't believe that worked. Sometimes you just can't beat the classics. Hahahahahahahahah..."
Gar's laughter stopped abruptly as everyone glared daggers at him but their glares and frowns quickly turned to smiles as Gohan said
"Good one."
Narrator
The first day of college is officially over. Having met new and familiar faces Gohan and Videl look forward to their lives at Satan University. What sort of high jinx and shenanigans lie in store for them and their friends? Find out next time on Azure's Revenge!
A/N
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of Azure's Revenge. Like I said in the prologue the first so many chapters, most likely about 10 or so, are going to be pretty peaceful. Focusing on the college life and such, maybe even have some more Saiyaman adventures like. Going back to the Not Alone roots. I intend for Azure's revenge to be even longer than Majin Unleashed and Not Alone combined. Anyway, please let me know your thoughts and as always, have a great day. ~TheUltimateMystic
