Chapter 4: Son Gohan…High School Student and Super Hero?!?!
"I'm heading out mom!" Gohan yelled as he opened the front door.
"Oh, wait a sec Gohan…here you'll probably want your lunch." Chichi said as she handed him the wrapped box containing his lunch.
"Thanks mom." He said with a grin.
"Gosh Gohan are you that excited to be starting school? You nearly forgot your lunch that's not like you!" Goku said laughing from the other side.
"Awe geese dad…" Gohan said scratching his head.
"Hey bye Gohan, have fun at school cause when you come back I want to hear all about it!" Reilena yelled as she ran between her parents to hug her older brother.
Gohan smiled and ruffled her long black hair "sure thing squirt. Behavior yourself at Capsule Corp ok? I don't want to hear anymore stories about you and Trunks blowing up another room again ok?"
"Awe, ok I promise." Reilena said with a pout. The last time she went over Trunks house the two of them began to spar in one of Bulma's labs and blew the whole thing up when Trunks released a ki attack, one of the many reasons as to why Trunks has been coming over their house recently.
"Well, I'm off you guys!" Gohan said waving.
"Remember son; listen to your teachers carefully." Chichi said with a loving sigh.
"Of course! NIMBUS!" Gohan called and just as quick the small cloud appeared.
"Taking nimbus to school? Gohan you know how to fly why don't you just do that. It will be faster." Goku asked his son curiously.
"Yeah, I know dad but I don't think the people of Orange Star City would like it too much if the first thing they saw this morning was a half alien boy flying by their window." Gohan joked.
Goku laughed "yeah I guess your right son. Well knock em dead!"
"Thanks dad! Bye mom, bye dad, bye Rei see you all when I get home!" Gohan said as he hoped on the cloud and road off to Orange Star City.
Boy, I hope today goes smooth. Gohan thought. "Awe what am I saying of course everything will go fine what could possibly go wrong? It's just high school if I can go to Namek and face one of the most feared warriors in the universe I can do this!"
"This looks like a good spot." Gohan said as he saw a clearing near the city limits and hopped down.
"See yah later nimbus, I'll need you for the ride home ok!" Gohan yelled as he started his walk to school.
Gohan walked quickly towards what looked to be a rally of cops outside of a bank.
Hey I wonder what's going on there maybe the banks being robed. Gohan thought to himself as he got closer.
"Hrmm, they don't look like they are making much progress and I am early for class maybe I should help them…but then everyone at my new school will know about my powers…I know I will just transform into a Super Saiyjin and no one will recognize me! Bulma always said that when we are transformed my dad and I barely look like our normal selves!" He said as he put his bag down.
Gohan quickly transformed and made his way over to the bank.
"Is this the best you pigs can do?" one of the robbers said as he fired a gun.
All of a sudden Gohan leaped up into the air and kicked and punched both of the robbers in the face.
"Huh, who's that?" a by stander said looking at Gohan.
All of a sudden one of the robbers when up to Gohan and started to shoot at him with their gun, of course Gohan easily was able to stop the bullets before they hit him and with that kicked the man in the face.
"He's…a…monster!" the man in the get away car yelled.
"Let's go!" his partner yelled as they tried to speed off.
With one shot Gohan let out a wave of energy that made the get away car loose control and crash, stopping the two men from getting away.
"Amazing! Uh, where did he go?" another by standard said looking for Gohan.
Far enough away from the scene Gohan quickly detransformed and looked back at what he had done. He noticed a girl with long black hair in pigtails talking with the police. She certainly didn't seem like one of the victims since she looked like she was questioning them. All of a sudden he noticed the orange star button on her shirt.
"Hey, she goes to my school…oh no she goes to my school!" Gohan said in panic.
"Hey, I know you guys didn't do this! This hardly looks like your work. Who could have done this?" She said angrily at them.
"Uh we don't know Miss Videl, but I know he had gold hair and was wearing am Orange Star High School button on his shirt just like yours." one of the cops said to her.
All of a sudden Videl turned around and saw Gohan standing there and quickly approached him.
"Hey you! Do you know who did this?" She asked suspiciously.
"Uh, no sorry I don't" Gohan said nervously.
"I can't believe I missed it, I should have stopped them." Videl said punching her fists.
Suddenly Videl turned around to see Gohan was gone.
"Strange where did he go, a gold hair fighter huh? I have to find him; I have to find out who he is now!" Videl said as she walked back toward the police.
Gohan now hiding behind a building let out a sigh "I really need to be more careful around here, people can't know about me and my powers, especially with the android battle coming up."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Sharpener, don't tell me you're the golden fighter." Videl said jokingly as she sat on her desk.
"Oh spare me, I don't have time to play super hero. I spent all morning working out my arms." Sharpener said running a finger through his long blonde hair.
"So Videl, do you think this guy can be stronger than your dad?" the blonde girl to her right said.
"What a joke Erasa, we all know that Videl's dad is one of the strongest in the world! He's won so many titles and he's the predicted winner of the World Martial Arts Tournament that is coming up next month! I mean, come on everyone knows that Mr. Satan is the strongest fighter out there so how can some guy with gold hair be stronger than him?" the boy in the next row said.
Videl smirked and took her seat as the teacher entered the room.
"Ahem, good morning my young…scholars…today we are being graced with a class member that actually knows how to read. That's your queue my boy." The teacher said to Gohan who was standing in the doorway.
Gohan slowly walked into the room "oh, good morning. My names Gohan, nice to meet you."
"Ooo look at him Videl, he's a cutie." Erasa said ogling over Gohan.
"What kind of name is Gohan?" the boy in front of them said laughing.
Videl stared blankly at Gohan trying to figure out where she had seen him before.
"That's weird, he looks familiar." Videl said still trying to figure out where she had seen him.
"He was probably on a TV spelling bee." Sharpener said laughing.
"Gohan here made perfect scores on all his entry exams English, Math, Chemistry, many of you can learn from his example." The teacher said pointing at him.
Huh entry exams? So that's what those were, they weren't practice tests. Mom you are way too sneak for your own good sometimes. Gohan thought to himself smirking but with a feeling of defeat because his mother out smarted him somehow.
"Example this!" someone from the back yelled as the whole class erupted in laughter.
"Settle down, settle down, you kids are an embarrassment to public schools!" the teacher yelled. "Well Gohan, you may sit wherever you would like to sit."
"Ok…" Gohan said nervously as he looked around the room for a free seat.
"Yoo-hoo new boy, here's one." Erasa said with a flirty tone as she pointed to the empty seat next to her.
"Oh, sure thank you." Gohan said with a shy smile as he made his way up to the seat.
"Nice to meet you." Gohan said smiling at Erasa.
"I'm Erasa with an E and this is my friend Videl." She said as she pointed to the girl next to her.
Oh no it's her! Gohan thought to himself as his face went from happy to concern in a matter of seconds.
"Gohan, you want to know who Videl's pop is? You'll be surprised, she's the daughter of Mr. Satan." Erasa said with a wink.
"Huh? Who?" Gohan said confused.
"You know, Mr. Satan the champion fighter, the owner of the world famous Satan gym franchise?" Erasa said in shock at the fact that Gohan didn't know who he was.
Gohan just stared at her blankly.
"Oh come on Erasa he's a nerd what does he know about fighting?" Sharpener piped in smirking.
Gohan smiled and thought I bet I know more about fighting than you, my dad and Piccolo have been teaching me since I was a kid.
"Well that must be neat being a celebrity's daughter and all." Gohan said looking at Videl.
"Our Videl is a special girl, of course being a friend of a daughter of a celebrity is pretty neat too yah know." Erasa said winking at Gohan.
"So you're the guy, yeah you're the guy was talking to outside of the bank this morning." Videl said piping in.
Gohan, a bit taken a back by her comment just slowly nodded his head yes.
"Wow, right after the gold fighter vanished." Erasa said excited.
"Who, the gold fighter? Is he a celebrity too?" Gohan asked curiously.
"Where are you from? You're out of the gossip loop. He's a crime fighter with super strength and magic powers. They say he looks like a teenage boy except that he has glowing golden hair everyone's talking about it." She explained to him.
Gohan quickly sank down into his seat oh no it's only been five hours and they have already made a legend out of me. I need to be more careful when I am in the city otherwise I might blow it he thought to himself.
Gohan glanced over at Videl who was glaring at him does she know?
"Gohan, I remembered something what the gold fighter was said to be wearing." Videl said staring at him.
Gohan jumped back a bit as she startled him.
"It was a white shirt, a black vest, and red pants sound familiar?" Videl asked him suspiciously.
Gohan looked down at himself as Videl described his outfit.
"Hey, that's funny you and the gold fighter dress alike." Erasa said oblivious to what her friend really meant.
"Uh yeah, funny." Gohan said nervously.
"Come on Videl, you know he can't be the gold fighter. Who in the world's ever heard of a little book nerd secretly being a super hero? The guy's got to be buff." Sharpener said laughing.
"Ignore him, I bet you can fight crime too if you wanted." Erasa said dreamily.
"Oh well I doubt it." Gohan lied to her.
Of course it's not him his hairs not even right but then again I heard rumors of fighters somewhere in the world who could…nah that's impossible unless he dyed his hair black before coming in but that is just ridicules Videl thought to herself.
"So uh did you just move into the city maybe we can study at your house?" Erasa asked him.
"Well, actually I commute here." Gohan responded, happy that they are off the subject of the gold fighter.
"Oh that's cool where from?" she asked interested.
"The 439 mountain area see it's pretty small..." Gohan started but was cut off by Erasa.
She jumped out of her seat and looked at Gohan "What oh get out of here, the 439 area is like five hundred miles away!"
"Hey! Excuse me miss, but I am trying to teach a class here!" the teacher yelled at her.
Erasa immediately sat down and stuck her head in her English book "how in the world do you get here? That's got to be close to a five hour car drive!"
"Well uh yes, that's how dedicated I am to my education!" Gohan said as he returned to taking notes.
I can't believe I just said that, good going Gohan what a way to try and fit in! he thought to himself.
The rest of the day was spent with Erasa asking more questions and Videl looking at him like she wanted to beat him up.
At the end of the day, after he told Erasa he couldn't drive her home Gohan quickly left Orange Star High School and proceeded to walk to a safe location where he could call nimbus to take him home.
Unknown to him Videl was watching him walk home.
"Now this is strange, he says he lives very far away but now he seems to be walking home." Videl said watching him and quickly began to follow him.
All of a sudden Gohan stopped and went into deep thought Hrmm, someone is following me…I think its Videl…I better make a quick run for it before she follows me even further.
Videl continued to follow him until she saw him go into an alley and all of a sudden disappear.
"Huh?!? Where did he go he was just here?!?" Videl said in frustration.
"That was a close one; I need to be more careful about these things." Gohan said from the roof of the building.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright Rei remember what I told you concentrate and let it all out." Goku said to his daughter.
Reilena stood there in fighting stance and went into deep thought. All of a sudden Reilena opened her eyes and looked up at the sky to see the nimbus go flying by.
"Hey look dad it's Gohan! He's back from school! Come on lets go meet up with him!" Reilena said grabbing Goku's arm and dragging him toward there house.
"Geese so much for concentrating." Goku laughed and with that scooped her up in his arms and instant transmission them to the house.
Reilena jumped from his arms and ran toward where Gohan was landing.
"Gohan, Gohan, Gohan!! How was school today did you meet a lot of new friends, did you learn a lot of new stuff, is it better than being home schooled by mom? Tell me, tell me, tell me!!" Reilena said yanking on his arm the whole time.
Gohan smiled and laughed "geese Rei let me get through the door first. How many sweets did you have today while you were at Capsule Corp?"
Reilena calmed down and looked up at her brother "Uh, well not that many Bulma kept yelling at Trunk's grandma about that. She said that Trunks and I didn't need any sugar since we were hyper enough as it is."
Gohan laughed "well, I can vouch for that." and walked through the door.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So you transformed and helped capture some bank robbers and now everyone is talking about the gold fighter?" Goku asked as he shoveled rice into his mouth.
"Yeah, pretty much dad." Gohan said while he ate a piece of sushi.
"Wow! My brother's a super hero that is so awesome wait until I tell Trunks! He is going to be so jealous." Reilena said as she got up to go call him but was stopped by her mother.
"I don't think so young lady, you finish your dinner AND your homework then you can call Trunks." Chichi said giving her the or else glare.
"Awe, but mom I don't feel like studying." She said as she sank back down into her chair.
Chichi ignored her daughters comment and focused her attention on her son "Gohan I think it would be a good idea if you tried not to transform, remember what I told you about trying to fit in."
"Yeah I know mom, but a girl in my class was there when I transformed and she didn't even recognize me or really think that I was the gold fighter!" At least, I hope she doesn't know that I am the gold fighter he thought to himself.
"Oh, a girl? You already have a girlfriend Gohan and it's only been your first day!" Goku said nudging his sons arm.
"Ahh, no dad she's not my girlfriend, she's just this girl you see, who works with the police and fights crime and stuff. Actually she is the daughter of a celebrity, some fighter guy named Mr. Satan and…" Gohan was cut off by his sister.
"What, you know Mr. Satan's daughter?" Reilena asked shocked.
Gohan stared at her blankly "uh, I guess so yeah why you ask squirt?"
"Well Trunks and I have seen him on TV a few times he's not as great as everyone says he is. He just lifts strange 'heavy' things. He can't fly or do ki attacks or anything. You and dad are like a million times stronger than he is. But he's always on TV for some weird reason I don't know why. Oh and Trunks said he owns a bunch of workout gyms that Yamcha goes to."
"Oh…I see, well I guess he is the favorite to win the World Martial Arts Championship this year." Gohan said as he saw his father begin to think.
"The World Martial Arts Tournament huh? Wow how many years has it been since the last time they held one of those?" Goku pondered.
All of a sudden Chichi slammed her chopsticks down and bawled her fists.
"Goku, what do you mean you don't remember the last time the World Martial Arts Tournament was held…" Chichi said as her anger swelled up.
Gohan and Reilena just stared at their mother knowing very well anytime from now she was going to blow her stack.
"Uh well you know Chichi it's been a long time since I heard they were holding one and…" he was quickly cut off by his wife.
"IT'S BEEN 18 YEARS GOKU, 18!!! YOU KNOW HOW I KNOW THAT? BECAUSE WE WERE MARRIED THAT DAY RIGHT AFTER YOU WON THE TOURNAMENT!!! HOW COULD YOU FORGET SOMETHING LIKE THAT IT'S THE DAY YOU AND I GOT MARRIED!!!" Chichi yelled.
"Uh, oh yeah you're right Chichi it has been 18 years. That was the one where Piccolo and I blew up the ring and after that they decided not to hold a tournament for a few years…" Goku said nervously looking at his wife.
"Humph, Goku you are so forgetful sometimes I swear!" Chichi said angrily.
"You and Piccolo are the reason it's been 18 years since the last tournament?" Gohan asked surprised.
"Yeah, we are kind of funny don't yah think." Goku said laughing.
"Hey, so I was thinking maybe Bulma could make me a disguise or something, I mean I am kind of afraid that after a while my classmates are going to start making the connection between me and the gold fighter…then I will have some real explaining to do." Gohan said as he finished his dinner.
"Hey yeah, I bet Bulma would totally make you a costume!" Reilena cheered as she jumped out of her seat.
"Hrmm, maybe I should head over there tonight to talk to her." Gohan said scratching his chin.
"Yeah, and I'll go with you!" Reilena yelled as she went to go put her shoes on.
"I don't think so young lady! You already were over there today and now it's time to study. I want my little girl to be intelligent and independent, and not like one of those girls on those Lifetime movies!" Chichi yelled at her.
"Awe but moooom…" Reilena whined.
"Don't awe mom me, go upstairs right now and start reviewing your grammar. I will be up after I finish with the dishes to check on you!" Chichi demanded.
Reilena just pouted and stormed upstairs mumbling something about how unfair it is and how Gohan gets to do all the cool stuff.
"Well I'm off!" Gohan yelled as he ran out the door.
"Oh dear, don't be out too late you have school in the morning!" Chichi yelled as he blasted off.
"Boy, I hope Bulma can help me with my predicament…" he said when all of a sudden someone appeared before him in the sky.
It took Gohan a bit to register who it was "Hey Piccolo what's up, training hard?"
"Humph, yes I have been but I know you haven't. Your father told me about the school thing." Piccolo said crossing his arms.
"Yeah, it wasn't my idea if I had it my way I would have waited for after our battles with the androids but you know my mother…" Gohan said laughing.
"Yes, I do but that doesn't mean you can slack off, we only have about a month left to prepare. I heard about your little incident this morning in the city, if I were you I would keep a low profile. You wouldn't want the earthlings to find out about what is to happen soon." Piccolo said concerned.
"Yeah I know, that's why I am going to Capsule Corp to see if Bulma can make me a costume or something for me to fight in." he said looking at his hands.
"Listen Gohan I know you can't just sit around and watch bad things happen to people, but I am warning you don't let this new super hero trade interfere with the task at hand. Your number one priority, regardless of what your mother thinks, is to train and defeat the androids got it kid?" Piccolo lectured.
"Yeah, I got it Piccolo but I got to hurry to Bulma's before it gets too late! I'll see you around!" Gohan said as he flew off.
"I hope you know what you're doing kid." Piccolo said as he watched his former pupil fly off toward West City.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So basically you don't want anyone to recognize you right? You know if I was your mother I would have waited until after the battle with the androids to send you to public school, but that's Chichi for you, more concerned with making sure you win the Nobel peace prize rather than actually bringing peace itself to this planet." Bulma asked as she puffed on her cigarette.
"Yeah, I know tell me about it if I had it my way I would have entered school after all the android mess. I am just scared that everyone at my new school will think I am a little weird if they see me fighting criminals. You think you can help me Bulma?" Gohan said slightly laughing.
"Well now, you can always not fight the bad guys and let the cops handle it. I mean, that's what my tax dollars are going toward. But I guess playing super hero is too much in your blood. So I'll just have to make you a disguise then. But what are you going to do when the androids come?" Bulma said smiling.
"Well, hopefully this whole super hero thing will only make it as far as Orange Star City and no one else will know, but wow, you really think you can do it?!?" Gohan said surprised.
"Gohan, remember your talking to a girl who designs and builds space capsules for a living. I don't think a little crime fighter costume is out of my reach." She said as she put her cigarette out.
"Thanks Bulma you're the best! This is going to make this whole school situation so much easier now!" Gohan said excitingly.
"Hey don't mention it, but it is going to take about two hours to make." Bulma said as she walked towards her lab.
"Oh, well then maybe I can play with Trunks in the mean time?" Gohan asked looking around.
Bulma smiled at him "Sure, you know you are always welcome to come over and hangout with Trunks. He has been kind of lonely since Vegeta left for space. Besides, Trunks has always looked up to you as an older brother…just as much as Reilena does."
"Sure, definitely maybe the next time my sister comes over I will too…but where did you say he is?" Gohan asked.
"Oh, he's upstairs in his room…hopefully studying. His tutor is coming tomorrow and I have a feeling he is behind on his work." Bulma said shaking her head.
"Ok, well maybe I will go and help him out with his homework then, thanks again Bulma!" Gohan said as he ran upstairs.
Bulma smiled then sighed and thought to herself I swear, he is just like his father.
"There yah go Gohan!" Bulma said as she handed over a watch to him.
"So I just press this red button to make it work?" Gohan asked amazed.
"That's it." Bulma smiled, impressed with her creation.
"Awesome, hey can I have one too mom?" Trunks asked looking in amazement.
"Maybe for your birthday son." Bulma said looking down at Trunks.
Gohan pressed the button and in no time his disguise appeared.
"This is amazing!" Gohan said as he looked in the mirror.
"Does it fit? I mean the last time I made you an outfit you were just a little kid." Bulma said winking at him.
"Yeah, why it's a super fit!" Gohan said in excitement.
Trunks looked at Gohan blankly "Never mind mom, I don't need one."
"I'll see you guys later and thanks again Bulma!" Gohan said waving before he took off back home.
"Bye Gohan come back to play whenever you want, like tomorrow maybe!" Trunks yelled waving.
"Bye Trunks!" Gohan said as he blasted off.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What a...interesting costume son…" Goku said as he stared at his son in his new outfit.
Well, I guess it's better than the disguise Bulma made me when we were kids to make it look like I was a girl…Goku thought to himself.
"Well, Gohan is it flame retardant? I don't want you to catch fire one day in that thing." Chichi said inspecting her son.
"Geese mom don't worry, Bulma made it, its safe!" Gohan replied.
"So did you come up with a new super hero name or are you just going to keep the name Gold Fighter?" Reilena asked as she sat at the table doing math problems.
"Well, I guess I can't keep the name Gold Fighter since they won't be able to see me transform, not that I am going to have to now that I have this thing." Gohan said as he took the disguise off.
Gohan sat at the table trying to think of a name.
"I know, how about The Great Saiyaman?" Gohan said looking to his family for some reassurance.
Goku just stood there and gave his son a nervous look "Sure…son if that's what you want."
"Well, ok then my new name will be The Great Saiyaman!" Gohan proclaimed.
Reilena looked up from her home work and gave her brother a weird look.
"That name is kind of dorky Gohan don't you think?" she said looking at him.
"Well, I like it and what do you know anyways you're just a kid." Gohan said as he walked upstairs.
"Hey, I am not just a kid!" Reilena yelled as she got up to go after him.
"Hey, Reilena you sit back down right now and finish those math problems!" Chichi yelled at her daughter.
Reilena sighed and sat down "Fine, but when I'm done Gohan is going to get it!"
"No he isn't now sit down and do your problems." Chichi yelled.
Reilena just sighed knowing she couldn't win this battle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Have a good day Gohan, go kick those bad guy's butts!" Reilena yelled and waved as she watched her older brother fly off to Orange Star City.
"Ha, ha well if I see any I will try bye guys!" Gohan yelled at his family as he flew off.
"You know I guess if it makes him happy, I can live with the ridicules outfit." Chichi said she guided Reilena back into the house.
Gohan flew over Orange Star City when he noticed a reckless driver on the freeway and lowered himself down in front of them.
Now say something heroic Gohan he thought to himself.
"Stop you fiend!" Gohan yelled as he landed.
Gohan stopped the car before it him and the two occupants looked out.
"What kind of meathead are you?!? Get out of the way!" the driver yelled at him.
"Hey why don't you watch where you're going?" the other said.
"It is you who should be more careful. Use your turn signals, follow the rules of the road and always buckle your safety belt!" Gohan yelled as he pointed at them.
"What is this, a public service announcement huh you have a name for yourself there little funny many huh?" the driver said as he and his partner stepped out of the car.
"Guardian of the city I am the one and only, GREAT SAIYAMAN!" Gohan proclaimed doing his super hero poses.
The two men looked at him blankly and then began to laugh.
"I don't know what's funnier your name or your outfit!" one of them said.
"Look, those helmet antennas, do they get good reception?" the other laughed.
Gohan, now angry, yelled and slammed his foot down, breaking the concrete in the process "STOP LAUGHING!"
The two men immediately went silent.
Gohan slammed his foot down again and this time the crack sunk part of the men's car.
"I put some thought into that name!" Gohan yelled.
The two men were at a loss for words.
"Uh…you miss understood me I thought that it was a very nice name and costume!" one of them responded.
"I wish I had one of my own." The other said.
Gohan smiled in satisfaction and walked over to their car and picked it up and put it back on the road.
The men stared in shock at what they had just seen.
"Thank you Mr. Great Saiyaman!" one of the men said to Gohan as they drove away.
"Yeah, you have a good day!" the other said as they drove off.
What promising young citizens! Gohan thought to himself as he smiled and made his way off to school.
"Hey you!" someone yelled from behind.
Gohan looked behind him and saw Videl standing there.
"What's your deal I was going to take care of these two guys! They are notorious gang fighters and I thought I had them, until you let them get away!" Videl yelled at him.
Gohan looked at her blankly "Gang fighters? I just thought that…"
"You just thought nothing! Great, now they got away and we have to wait until they commit another crime to bust them!" Videl yelled frustrated.
"Geese Videl I am sorry…" Gohan began until Videl cut him off.
"Sorry my butt…hey how did you know my name…Saiyaman?" Videl asked him curiously.
"Uh, well I have just heard about you that's all! I'm just a fan!" Gohan said nervously hoping she didn't catch on that it was him.
"Just a fan huh? Well if you are just a fan then leave the bad guy catching to me!" Videl yelled as she got up in his face.
Gohan backed away "Alright, I will I promises uh have a good day." he said as he blasted off.
"Hey wait a minuet come back here I want to know who you are!" Videl yelled as he flew away.
"He can fly? How strange…who was that guy? I need to know who he is!" Videl said angrily as she walked away from the scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man, I already learned this stuff like four years ago…I still don't understand why mom has to send me to school; I could be training with dad and Piccolo right now! Gohan thought to himself when all of a sudden he over head two of his classmates talking.
"You know, another hero appeared this morning but they say that he's not the Gold Fighter." One of Gohan's classmates sitting in front of him said.
"Yeah I heard…" the other one said.
Yes, the news is spreading! Gohan thought to himself.
"They say, he looks kind of funny but he's super strong yeah they call him The Great Singing Man." his classmate said.
Hearing this, Gohan immediately interrupted them.
"SAIYAMAN, THE GREAT SAIYAMAN!" Gohan yelled at the two as everyone in the room turned to look at him.
"How…in the world do you know that Gohan?" one asked him.
"Because…I know someone that really saw him." Gohan said nervously back.
Smooth Gohan, real smooth.
"Well Gohan, is there something you want to share with the class?" His teacher asked him.
Gohan fell back into his seat "Uh, no..."
Hrmm, I don't know Gohan something tells me there is something more to you than you are letting on…and I am going to find out what it is! Videl thought to herself as her wrist communicator went off.
"Go ahead captain." Videl said into her wrist communicator.
"Well, Videl we have a situation on our hands and we need your help. Some goons are holding the Mayor hostage at knife point!" the captain said.
"Ok, stay calm I am on my way." Videl said as she jumped out of her seat and ran toward the door.
"May I be excused professor…thank you!" Videl said as she ran out the door.
"Well actually…never mind…" the teacher said since it was too late to try and make her stay.
"What's wrong with her? Is she sick?" Gohan asked curiously.
"No silly, she went to go fight the bad guys." Erasa said.
"All by herself?" Gohan said surprised.
"Of course, she is the daughter of Mr. Satan you know, she's always going out there and saving us from the nastiest. Boy you really are from out of town huh." Erasa said.
Gohan just sat there nervously scratching the back of his head.
"But you know that's not safe." Gohan said worried.
"There is really no need to worry Gohan; Videl can lift even more weights then me. She's been training her whole life and some say she is even stronger than her father." Sharpener said laughing.
"Oh…really now…" Gohan said nervously remembering what Reilena had told him last night.
Well, I can't just sit here and let Videl go and fight those guys, she might need help! Gohan thought to himself as he got up from his seat.
"And where might you be going…" his teacher asked but was quickly cut off by Gohan
"Ah, bathroom…" Gohan said as he ran out of the room.
"Hero time!" Gohan said as he ran up onto the roof top of the school and transformed into his disguise.
Guardian of the city, I am the one and only Great Saiyaman! Gohan thought to himself as he did his 'Great Saiyaman poses'.
"Gosh, that sounds cool." He said as he blasted off to help Videl.
The gang sat outside the mayor's office waiting for Videl, one of the requests they had made to the police.
"Hey there she is boss!" one of gang members said as they looked to the sky.
"Let's get ready for some action boys." The leader said as his followers got ready.
Videl landed outside the mayor's office and ran toward the gang.
"Alright you crooks let him go! You can still get off easy." Videl demanded as she confronted them.
"Well, well, well so you are the tough girl that we have been hearing so much about, Mr. Satan's daughter. Well, where is your father? What kind of man would send his daughter out to fight a gang?" the gang leader said.
"Look mister my father didn't send me here I'm like a maid, I go wherever the filth is and I clean it up. My father is a busy man, if you want to challenge him you are going to have to get through me!" Videl said confidently.
The gang leader smirked "I don't want to challenge him…I don't even really give a crap about that buffoon of a man…what I really want is you!" the man said as he approached Videl.
Videl got into fighting stance when all of a sudden the mayor spoke up.
"No, no Videl this man is very strong I could never forgive myself if something were to happen to you!" the mayor pleaded.
"I can handle this mayor don't worry about it!" Videl yelled as she went to attack the gang leader.
Videl jumped in the air and kicked the man in the face, but to her surprise it didn't even faze the man.
She landed and looked up at him "you may look vicious but I bet you don't have a lot of brains." Videl said smirking as she got ready to attack again.
"And you are supposed to be some genius don't make me laugh I will put a stop to you Videl Satan." The man said as he approached her.
The gang leader threw a punch at Videl but she quickly dodged it and retaliated.
All of a sudden some of the gang members began to fire their guns at Videl.
Videl began to dodge the bullets as fast as she could. Seeing an opening the gang leader attacked her knocking her down to the ground with a mighty punch.
"Hey you back off!" someone said from behind.
The gang leader turned around to see The Great Saiyaman standing there.
"You back off chump!" one of the gang members said holding his gun up to Gohan's head.
Gohan nonchalantly took two of his fingers and bent the end of the gun, preventing it from firing.
"Mister, you and your men had better get out of this city while you still can." He said approaching the gang leader.
"Who are you?" the leader asked him/
"Who am I? SAIYAMAN!" Gohan proclaimed proudly.
Videl got up from the ground and saw Saiyaman posing in front of the gang leader.
Great, this idiot just keeps trying to steal my thunder! She thought to herself.
"Hey go home!" Videl yelled at him throwing Gohan off balance.
"Oh hi there fancy meeting you here." Gohan joked in his Saiyaman accent.
"Look, no one asked you to come here so stop interfering in my business, jerk!" Videl yelled at him.
Gohan looked at her blankly.
"You heard me, I can handle this!" she responded to him still angry.
"But I just…" he started but then Videl cut him off.
"You just want to get in my way, just like that Gold Fighter; I can handle this ON MY OWN! Now leave get out of here!" Videl yelled at him.
"If this is about earlier this morning I'm sorry I didn't mean to let those bad guys get away…" he began.
"Enough! I can't take it anymore, boys shut this guy up!" the gang leader said.
Two of the gang members ran up behind him and started to fire off their guns. Gohan quickly dodged them and knocked them out.
"Are you ok there sir?" Gohan asked the mayor as he untied him.
"Yes, thanks to you." The mayor said gratefully.
All of a sudden out of nowhere one of the gang members fired a rocket at Gohan and the mayor. Gohan quickly got up and stopped the rocket with a wave of energy, guiding the rocket slowly back to the gang member where it blew up.
All of a sudden Gohan looked over to see the gang leader with Videl in a head lock. Gohan angrily ran towards him but before he got there Videl jabbed the gang leader in his stomach knock the wind out of him thus causing him to let her go. Videl then jumped and kicked him in the back of the head knocking him down to the ground.
What a girl she decked him right in the head. Wow I have never seen a girl do that before…well other than my little sister but she doesn't count. She really didn't need my help after all. He thought to himself looking at Videl.
Afterwards the cops were arresting the gang members and answering questions from police so Gohan decided it was time for him to leave.
"Well, goodbye Miss Videl!" Gohan said as he began to fly off.
"Hey, Saiyaman wait a minuet! Thank you." Videl said to him sincerely.
"Sure, no prob." Gohan said back to her smiling.
"Hey that doesn't mean that I still don't want to know who you really are. I will find out!" Videl said to him smirking.
"Whatever you say see you later Videl!" he said as he flew off.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright Videl spill it, what is going on between you and you know who." Erasa asked her friend as they walked to the lunch room.
Videl stared at her friend blankly "what are you talking about you mean Gohan?"
Gohan walking behind them stopped in his tracks shocked.
"That's exactly who I am talking about he just disappeared from class right after you did. The teacher wouldn't let him leave but he still went anyway." Erasa said winking.
"You're kidding, darn him! Hey where did he go?" Videl said as she turned around to look for him.
"He was just behind us that's weird." Erasa said looking around.
Gohan was hiding behind a pillar as they walked by.
"Listen you guys when a geek disappears you should be glad." Sharpener said cockily.
"Gohan's not a geek; he's a heck of a lot cooler than you are Sharpener." Videl said snapping back at him.
"WHAT?!?" Sharpener said back in surprise.
"You heard me." Videl threatened him.
"Yeah and he's cuter too!" Erasa said dreamily.
"Yeah, if you like your men scrawny and weak." Sharpener said back to her smirking.
"Videl doesn't need a strong man; she can kick your butt all by herself!" Erasa said proudly.
"No she can't!" Sharpener said getting angry.
"Yes she can!" Erasa said getting frustrated with him.
"Yes I can!" Videl pronounced happily.
"Whatever…" Sharpener said in defeat.
The three students passed the library as Videl stopped.
"Hey guys, I think I am going to skip lunch today and do some research for that paper we have due in history class next week I'll catch up with you later." Videl said making her way toward the door.
Sharpener and Erasa looked at each other in shock. It wasn't like Videl to volunteer to study like this.
"Uh, sure girl I'll see you back in class." Erasa said to her waving.
"See you guys!" Videl said as she made her way in.
Alright Son Gohan let's see who you really are. Videl thought to herself as she sat down at the computer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Awe man, I don't know why I volunteered to wash the board and clean the erasers for the teacher after school, now I am late for training with my dad and Piccolo, they aren't going to be too happy about…" Gohan was quickly cut off by a voice behind him.
"So, Gohan…or should I say Great Saiyaman." The voice said.
Gohan froze and slowly turned around to see Videl standing behind him.
"Oh hi Videl I can't stay long I am late for an appointment I have…" he was cut off again by Videl.
"Cut the crap Gohan I know it's you, you are The Great Saiyaman, you can't fool me!" Videl said proudly.
Yikes busted, I can't believe it in one day the secret identity of Saiyaman has become public knowledge! Gohan nervously thought to himself.
"Uh, what are you talking about…?" Gohan began.
"Gohan, unlike the rest of our class I am not an idiot. I know that you are the Great Saiyaman so stop denying it. You are the same height, you have the same movements, same nervous laugh and your voices are similar. Not to mention you were MIA the same time that the mayor was held hostage today. So just admit it ok." Videl smirked.
"Oh man now everyone knows my identity…mom was right it was a stupid idea." Gohan said sulking.
"I wouldn't say that everyone knows. Only I know but I do think that the public has the right to know, maybe I should schedule a press conference." Videl said to him.
"No, please don't! You know the only reason I keep my identity secrete is to protect my family's privacy! It's for them please Videl!" Gohan exclaimed.
"Is that true?" Videl asked him.
"Yes of course!" Gohan said nervously.
"Hey, you're the Golden Fighter too!" Videl yelled at him.
"No, just Saiyaman!" Gohan said trying to hide the fact that he was lying to her.
"Why should I believe you?" Videl smirked.
"That guy has blonde hair!" Gohan proclaimed.
"You right about that, he's more handsome than you are too. I guess I believe you." Videl said slyly.
"Videl is there any way that you can keep this a secret between us?" he asked.
"Maybe, but you have to do something for me in return. Ok here's the deal, if you enter the World's Martial Arts Tournament then I'll keep your secret!" Videl exclaimed.
Gohan fell over in shock from her request.
"Ahh, Videl I can't do that you see there is…something else that I am preparing for that is much more important that the tournament isn't there something else I can do instead?" Gohan pleaded thinking about the android battle that he was preparing for.
"Oh and what is that?" Videl asked intriguingly.
"Uh, well, you see I can't tell you it's a family secret…" Gohan said hoping she would accept his answer.
"A family secret huh? Geese Gohan you sure do have a lot of secrets. I just figured that since your father is a former champion himself that you would want to compete as well against my father." Videl said slyly.
"Uh, how did you know my father was a former world champion?" Gohan asked intrigued.
"Well, glad you finally caught on, I know a lot about you Son Gohan I did some research over our lunch break and found out some interesting information like your father's name is Son Goku and has competed in three World Martial Arts tournaments. He came in second twice and won the last one, in fact he and another entry Piccolo, blew up the ring and that's why they haven't held a tournament in so long, not enough competition in fear of another incident like that happening. I put two and two together and that's how I figured out you were his son; I mean you look just like him too. Also they said he used light tricks and could fly, and that's how I linked you with Saiyaman. I figured all those tricks must run in your blood." Videl said proudly.
"Tricks, Flying? Videl those don't run in my family's blood anyone could learn how to do them." Gohan said laughing.
Videl looked at him interested.
"Well then since you don't want to enter the tournament and you say that ANYONE can learn these tricks of yours, how about you teach me to fly in exchange for keeping your secret?" Videl proposed.
And this way I can investigate you more Son Gohan, there is way more to you than meets the eye. Videl thought.
Gohan thought for a minuet about Videl's proposal "alright, I will teach you how to fly in exchange for not telling anyone that I am Saiyaman."
Videl smiled and looked up at him "good, I am glad we have come to an agreement. Too bad you don't want to compete in the tournament, I really want someone to knock my dad off his high horse and take the championship, my dad doesn't need anymore ego boosting."
Gohan sighed nervously and watched her walk away.
"Have a good day Gohan, and be ready cause when you least expect it I will be showing up at your house for those lessons." Videl smirked as she walked down the hallway.
Gohan just stared blankly in shock of the whole situation "Gohan, how do you get yourself in these messes." He said as he walked out the door to go home and train.
