Chapter 2: The Boy and Detective Who Wanted to Find Answers
Her name was Videl Satan, and boy, did she love mysteries.
The tomboy was known for many different things. Of all things, she was the daughter of Hercule, the champion who had saved the world from Cell. She also loved fighting and was training to be a crime fighter. Secretly, however, Videl loved mysteries. (And was a huge anime and video game geek too but that's another story…) Ever since she was little, she wished that she could be in a life filled with mysteries. From strange phenomena to baffling murders without a lead, Videl was filled with curiosity. She had actually set up a secret base to solve kid's common mysteries when she had time, but usually, they were minor and easily solved. One day she would become a martial artist/ detective if she tried really hard. That was her dream… To become the next Sherlock Holmes…
Instead of her little request from kids, she finally found a case to her interest. The day she saw the Cell Games she noticed people there who came falling from the sky unexpectedly. As the footage went on, she saw them fight with swift and accurate moves matching and beating Cell's positions. Sometimes, they would move faster than the naked eye could comprehend. Then she saw the beams of light or forces of light. Whether it was beams, balls, or a type of radiating force field that looked kind of like flames, it was spectacular. Videl had never believed that they were just 'tricks' as everyone else had concluded, mostly her father. This was because when looking back on the old footage of the previous World Martial Arts Tournaments, she saw fighters use beams and fly, especially during the 23rd WMAT. After looking over at the tapes, (that she had received in a black market while she was walking on the street one day) she noted all of the aspects that she had seen. The beams, the fighters, and the years. Then, she had went to the library and done more research. She had learned that before her father, there was a man named Son Goku with spiky black hair who was the former champion. In the footage, she had learnt that Goku was very acquainted with a blue beam of energy. She also saw a man named Tien blow up the entire ring with an explosion. Did those things really have that much destructive power? Now that she mentioned it, Cell and those other fighters destroyed things with those blasts. Videl also heard about how the evil King Piccolo was described in an article of using 'illuminated fire appearing from coming out of the hands and mouth.' Then again, it was recorded that King Piccolo's reincarnation was at the WMAT. It was stated on how he blew up an entire arena! It was so strange and inhumane. Unidentifiable it seemed; however she believed she would soon change that. Picking up her book bag filled with all her evidence to this mystery, she headed back home deciding it was a time out for the day due to the sun starting to set.
Videl began to walk down the street quietly as her pink hoodie covered her loose, black, wavy, hair. She wanted to find these people, but how was she going to do it? On the computer, when she tried to locate records of where Son Goku, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Krillen and Chiaotzu resided, she found no valuable information. Somehow, she had to find out where they lived due to her steely determination. It was getting kind of late and she needed to get home back to the mansion. However, she didn't know how her father would feel… He used to be very upset because of his personality of over-protection for his only daughter. Now, it was mixed. Now, because of all of the fame from defeating Cell and those dirty hoes (thots, as Videl called them) surrounding him, her father had split feelings. Sometimes he cared, sometimes he was too occupied by those women. Sometimes Videl wished her mother was here. She missed her. When her mother was alive, her father was a very happy and unselfish man that went on morals and loved his family. When her mother died when she was six years old, her father went into a depressive state for over five months. That's when the idea of fame and pride came into his head. With these false ideals of having money, pride, and power will bring forever happiness and prosperity, her father fell into becoming a totally altered and unusual man compared to the one before. Hercule still had that love for his daughter and other aspects of the past, but he was still different. If you could travel to the past and fix an event before it happened, Videl would probably try to find a way to keep her mother alive. The fame, the riches, the benefits, she didn't care. All she wanted was to stay in that little yellow house beside the river bank again and go to annual festivals with her family. That was all she wanted…
"Ooff!"
Suddenly, while living in her thoughts, Videl unexpectedly bumped into someone.
"Oops! I'm sorry little guy!" Videl had apologetically exclaimed as she noticed a small child in a navy cloak.
"It is fine young one, but you must carefully inspect on what you do in the future. It could determine your whole life course…" The child had mischievously grinned while walking past the short eleven year-old.
"Hey, what do you mean-"
Before Videl could come up with any possible questions, the small child had disappeared into the thin air.
"I wonder what was up with that kid?"
Ignoring her question, Videl simply carried on just to conclude that that person was just some weird kid re-enacting a statement out of a show. Like usual…
The Next Day
The sunlight gleamed with radiance as the boy was getting prepared to solving his dilemma of an enigma…
Gohan had awakened very early this morning. He was ready to head to Capsule Corporations to find out more about his scroll. He wondered what it all meant. Was it a prophecy of some sort? Or rather, like he inquired before, something leading to treasure. After he put on a red sweater with a white, cuffed shirt underneath and some jeans, he headed out his room. Putting the scroll in his jean pocket, he almost made it to the door until…
"Hey sweetie, where are you heading this morning?" Queried his still sleepy mother.
"Oh hey mom. I was just going to see Bulma so she could help me solve a problem."
"What sort of problem do you have?"
"Take a look at this mom." Signaling his mother to come closer, Gohan received the scroll from out of his pocket and unraveled it.
"What is this honey?" Chi-Chi had question curiously.
"Someone had gave this to me the other day. Before I went to bed last night, I opened it and these hieroglyphics were inscribed in it that I couldn't understand. Before I gave up and decided to just ask Bulma if she could translate them, the scroll glowed a bright light and suddenly, it changed into our native language. I read it and it said something about someone being born with mysterious powers but I couldn't fully understand its context. It was such an enigma…" Gohan had explained.
"IT GLOWED AND CHANGED LANGUAGES?" Chi-Chi looked as if she were about to go nuts.
"Yea, weird hu-"
"No! Absolutely not! Gohan put that thing down right now! It might be witchcraft or sumthin'!" The woman looked terrified.
"I know it may sound weird mom, but think, aren't you curious of why this happened? I know curiosity may have killed the cat, but this thing could be very important to the future somehow. Please mom, you promised me one day that if I kept up with my studies, I could do something recreational in my spare time. So I decided if I do some research on this map that could become my free time. It's a win win situation. I get free time with education."
"Okay Gohan, just be careful for me. I don't need something happening to my big baby boy," Chi-Chi sighed as she remembered her promise.
Blushing, Gohan replied mumbling, "I will mother."
It had took him awhile to reach Capsule Corp. Today was a beautiful day. It may have been a little chilly, but it was warm for October. Actually, it had been unusually warm the entire fall so far. When he passed through West City and spotted Capsule Corp., he descended down onto the front entrance. Walking inside he walked up towards the reception counter.
"Hello sir, how may I help you?" Responded a nice lady with curly brown hair.
"Hi, I'm a friend of Bulma Briefs. Can I please speak to her at this time?" Gohan had politely replied.
"Your name please?"
"Son Gohan."
"Okay, just hold up a minute okay." The woman picked up the receiver and dialed a specific number. When someone picked up, she began to talk into the phone.
"Hi ! I called to inform you that a Son Gohan had wanted a meeting with you…Okay! He's allowed to come up! Thank you for your time and have a nice day!" The lady was talking to Bulma as she cheerily spoke into the receiver.
"Ok young man, your free to go! Just go to the elevator on your right and go to the 15th floor."
"Thank you very much mam!" Gohan had thanked the lady and walked towards the elevator. When he pushed the button that had a 15 on it, the elevator rose up to its designated floor. When it stopped and opened up, Gohan saw an aqua blue, short haired lady wearing a yellow shirt underneath a lab coat.
"Hi Gohan, long time no see!" Shouted Bulma, "So what's up?"
"Well Bulma, to make things short," Gohan pulled the scroll from his pocket and unraveled it. Bulma looked amazed.
"Wow Gohan, what an interesting thing ya' got there. What is it? Is it a scroll perhaps?"
"Yea I guess so. I was walking in the street one day and this little girl gave it to me. When I came home and opened it, it had some hieroglyphics on it that I couldn't understand. Before I gave up, however, a light illuminated from the scroll, and then, it turned into our own language. It was such a strange phenomenon that I couldn't comprehend. And it sai-"
Before he could finish his sentence, the scroll gleamed a bright light blinding them both. As it diminished, the language was changed from those weird hieroglyphics to the earthling (Japanese?) language. Bulma looked as if she were going to spaz out.
"WHAT IN THE LIVING HELL WAS THAT?" Bulma was definitely freaked out.
"See! I told you! It was the most breath taking thing I've ever seen! The girl who gave this to me said she couldn't read the language because it was filled with those hieroglyphics. Whenever you close it, they revert to those weird hieroglyphics again. Never permanent. They didn't change for her, so why are they changing now? Why did an old scroll bring forth a light? Before you try and answer those questions though, look at what it says…" Gohan had stated hurriedly as he handed her the worn piece of paper.
Peering at the scroll, Bulma carefully scrutinized the context within it. The woman seemed to be in deep thought as she thoroughly analyzed it. Gohan wondered if anyone could comprehend such text. Was it impossible? It was so weird and alienated that it made him feel sort of queasy.
"What does it all mean…"Bulma had questioned softly to herself.
Rising her head from the scroll, Bulma began to walk towards her lab concentrating. Behind her, Gohan scurried along.
"So what are ya' gonna do Bulma?" The boy had questioned
"Well I've decided to go on a documentation process. First, I'm going to use my computer to make a few scans of this artifact and observe it to see how old it is. Then I'm going to set on finding any sort of information on it. Come help me Gohan!" Bulma sounded very cheery while sitting at a laboratory chair next to her desk as she talked to her sort of like nephew Gohan. Smiling as he grabbed a chair with wheels, Gohan sat down next to Bulma as he glanced at the computer monitor. While both peacefully were explaining the procedure a 'wonderful' surprise busted through the lab doors.
"And what the HELL is he doing here! Shouldn't you be caring for your abomination of a mother brat?" Vegeta had spat out.
"VEGETA! WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE?" Bulma angrily screeched.
Both Gohan and Vegeta were taken back a bit, but Vegeta had the guts to speak back up.
"Woman all I am asking is what is what is Kakarot's (Kakarotto) brat doing in my house? Don't wear out your nip-"
"Your're such a jerk Vegeta! You have a problem with everything! All I am doing is helping Gohan with something! Tonight, your butt will be straight on the couch if you continue to act like an idiot!" Bulma yelled.
"To answer your question Vegeta, Bulma and I are trying to find out about a mystery on this scroll I found." Gohan smiled brightly.
"Brat instead of playing children's games, you should fight me. With your stupid clown of a father gone, I need someone at a higher level to fight me. Stop being a wuss boy and fight-"
Before Vegeta could say anything else, he glanced at the scroll and saw something familiar. When he began pacing towards it, he saw, he saw…
"What in the living hell!" The spiky haired man was astonished greatly.
"What's the matter Vegeta?" Questioned Gohan
"Boy, who gave this to you?"
"I met this little girl on the street with a blue cloak on. Does this look familiar to you?" Gohan was clearly confused.
"Yes you stupid spawn of your horribly idiotic father. This language, or so called hieroglyphs is the Saiyan language!"
If anyone had looked at them, Bulma and Gohan's eyes appeared to literally bulge out of their heads. In his mind, Gohan had just filled in a whole new load of queries. How did something like this get on earth? Why was it on earth and who created it? What did this all mean?
"I don't know what this all means…was there once Sayains on earth? Or maybe it was sent here?" Bulma looked so bizarre…
"I have no idea how a remnant like this came on this planet. I do know however, that by observing this, it must have been written at over some millenniums ago in the past. The writing style adds to this theory. Could this have to do with some sort of legend? The most difficult question I ask is who wrote this and why…These things don't just happen out of nowhere," Vegeta bluntly said curiously.
"It was glowing too! And it changed languages! It was all so weird! The message that it for tells is strange too. Hey Vegeta, do you mind reading it aloud?" The blue eyed scientist had asked.
"Fine, whatever…"
Vegeta began to read the scroll aloud, translating its language. Once he was finished, Bulma and Gohan both sighed. It still had the same message in both languages. Now they needed a new lead.
"What's the matter with you two?" Vegeta questioned.
"Remember how I told you that it could change languages? When it did, we read the same message that you did. Maybe it just changed languages. What I can't determine, however, is what causes it to change languages, how does it do it? Is there some sort of power within this scroll?" Bulma spoke with such inner thought in her voice.
"My ancestors were capable of many things. Even though the majority were fighters, a few of them had other skills. Similar to the Namekians. Maybe some of them used their power for the means of direct jobs, such as mysterious things like this, changing the appearances of things so that they can be understood easier. I remember hearing from the elder Sayain's legends, that long ago, our race was very peculiar and used their powers to do the unnatural, like to cause storms and to sense things from other planets far, far, away. Supernatural spectacles. These were just a few things. One day, however, one Saiyan harnessed some sort of energy to create something so grand, no one would be able to live through it. It was then realized that this so called 'Ultimate Weapon' could cause major chaos and destruction. So the Sayains destroyed the person who created this Grand thing and anything related to it. Rumors say that it was sealed somewhere on our home planet but it has long been eradicated before I was even born. Does this somehow relate to that legend?"
"That's a good starting point for us to learn and research Vegeta, but how are we gonna find out more about this?" Bulma asked.
"I think I know,"
Bulma and Vegeta both studied the boy. His face and posture was calm, but somehow it was filled with excitement and anticipation. They awaited his response
"Well, Mr. Po Pohas told me he has been on this planet for thousands of years. Since Vegeta recognized that style of the Sayain language from thousands of years ago, and this thing has appeared on earth somehow, maybe he might know something." Gohan indicated.
"That's a great idea Gohan!" As Bulma enthusiastically clapped Gohan's face began to turn a bright crimson.
"Tell me what that scary man thing says when you come back boy. I don't care if your witch-like mother nags you, you better get your ass by my gravity room by the end of the day. I'm just as curious as you are," Vegeta noted firmly.
"Here you go Gohan. I've already made a copy of this and put it in a secure file on my computer. See you later on today!" Bulma gave him the scroll as she waved goodbye. Vegeta defiantly grunted in disgust.
"Bye you guys, see you later!" The raven haired boy shouted.
Running out in West City, Gohan was shaking in his pants! He was so thrilled to find out more about his scroll. He could even learn something new about his origins!
Crossing the crosswalk and heading down an avenue past a curry shop and a McDonalds, Gohan raced towards a secluded area ready to take off. Just before he ran into a corner he had bumped into something.
"Oof! Owwwiiieee that hurt man! Hey watch were ya' goin' next time!" Sounded a small girlish voice.
"I'm sorry! Lemme' help you up!" The boy replied pleadingly.
That's when he saw her face…
Especially those familiar eyes.
I plan on not doing these sections about talking to you guys a lot. These will be rare. However, I need to sort things out. I think I will have more time soon, which will mean faster updates. I have a lot of secular work to tend to so that's why I can't update or write the story as fast as I want to. Anyways the main thing I need to note is that Videl's personality will be a little different. She will still have that strong, bold, personality she had before she started to train with Gohan in the Buu Saga, but with a childish, naïve, and friendlier in her personality since she is only eleven years old. To also mention, this story will not have filler and should get on to the point pretty soon (Maybe one or two more chapters who knows?)
So as a final note, I would Love to thank these special viewers…
