Auther note thingys!
Well its probably obvious from my first chapter that I am new to publishing stories on here, stupid doc management system… making me feel stupid! *pouts*
Well, I guess i will give a little of what(or don't) I have planned for this fic, let's see.
-Majin Buu will make an appearance in this fic. But I will be changing it to how I think it should have ended. (A non-scrubbed Gohan of course)
-No MAJOR roles for Lime, future trunks, time travel, evil chibis torturing Gohan, etc.
- Rating will probably change sooner or later, going to add a tad of angst/fluff and what not.
-Chapter lengths will be anywhere from 1,000-3,000 words but I will compensate for short chapters by trying to update at least 3-4 times a week. :3
Spanks and mentions!
Bloodredcandy: Thank you Very much I really appreciate the feedback. And I also am a fan of Gohan actually having sayain blood in him and refusing to quit training.
SSJAguila: I honestly hate the idea of anyone but Goku and Gotenks Achieving SSJ3. No clue why, but as you will see in this chapter that he has seen his potential a few months after cell and has been striving to reach it. For example in this fic has mastered SSJ2 and is a little stronger than when he fought cell. All your nit picking will either be sorted out with this chapter.. or they will just create more issues for you… I hope it's not the latter! ^_^
Sportsfan64: No lime, unfortunately. And I am replacing Sayiaman with a full time Gold Fighter persona.
Aaron-Leach & chaos267: Thanks! :D Hope I don't disappoint you guys!

"Speech"
Chapter 2- Transformation
The only visible indication of Gohan's shock was a slight widening of his eyes, even though brief and unnoticed by most, Videl saw it and started to get even more suspicious. She didn't really suspect Gohan to be this mysterious golden fighter, but now she was beginning to believe her own wild suspicions.
"Um, well… You see Vid.." He was cut of by Erasa.
"WOW, Gohan you dress just like the gold fighter!" Erasa giddily chirped. "But your hair totally isn't gold like the all those people said!" Erasa said while inspecting Gohans ebony locks.
"Hehe, I guess so Erasa." Gohan was relieved to have Erasa's ditz quell Videls mind.
Videl sat back in here seat and crossed her arms with a 'Hmph'. Erasa was right even though they were wearing the same clothes, she didn't know of any type of device or hair product that could change hair color back and forth that quickly.
'Whew, that was a close one I guess I will have to pay Bulma a visit after class just in case something like this morning comes up again.' Gohan thought as her turned his attention to the lecture that was just now beginning.
Gohan was snapped out of his lecture induced stupor to the sound of a weirdly alarmed wristwatch. After finding the source of the strange beeping he noticed it was coming from Videl.
"Videl here." She spoke into her communicator in a hushed tone.
"Ah Videl! We have a gunman holding up a jewelry store on South and Main, we can't get close because he has the owner as a hostage! Please come at once!" The static sounding voice screamed from the other side of the communicator.
"Be right there chief!"
And with that Videl waved to the teacher who nodded with permission to leave. She was gone before the teacher had a chance remind her about the homework for that night.
'Well that was odd, why would the police be contacting her for help? Isn't that their job?' Gohan was utterly confused.
Seeing the look of confusion on the new kids face, Erasa decided she was a little curious to why he didn't know who Videl was, everyone knew who Videl was and what her 'extra circular activities' entitled.
"Hey Erasa? Why was Videl contacted by the police? " he asked curiously.
"Well because her father being who he is, she is called to help on some crimes when it's just too much for the cops to handle… Duh!" Erasa pointed out thinking he at least had to know who her father was.
"Really? Who is her father? The mayor?" Gohan asked.
Erasa sweatdropped. "No sweetie, her father is the world savior? " Gohan arched an eyebrow. "Hercule Satan? The world's strongest man? The destroyer of Cell? Any of this ringing a bell?"
Inside Gohan cringed, but to hide his anger and disappointment towards that idiotic oaf of a man, he decided to play his ace in the hole for getting out of most situations he didn't want to talk about; naivety.
"Hmmm can't say it is Erasa, I knew who cell was, but I never heard who finally beat him." Gohan gave Erasa a smile and he prayed to kami that his "ignorance" would bring him bliss. He could only remember small snippets from when he learned of this Hurcule debacle. He didn't want a repeat of that especially around all these weak and fleshy highschoolers.
It was Gohan's twelfth birthday, it had only been four months since the final showdown with cell, yet here he was sitting outside of capsule corps, sitting at a picnic table with one of those ridiculous party hats on, stuffing his face with Ice cream cake.
Gohan wasn't what we would call happy, no he was quite the opposite really, but yet he kept a smile on his face for the sake of his mother, at least while she was near him. Her being pregnant with Goten he wanted to be there for her and show his support regardless of the pangs of depression, guilt and anger running thru his veins.
Gohan notice Bulma walking towards him, dragging a not so please Vegeta with her to congratulate him.
"Happy Birthday Gohan, hope you are enjoying your party!" Bulma cooed while slipping a gift card to a local restaurant along with an upgraded mobile gravity simulator into his bag, hoping he wouldn't find them till later. Bulma then waited for a few moments before sending a nasty glare at Vegeta. He huffed and shoved a loose card into Gohan's face.
Gohan paused a moment at the unexpected gift from Vegeta.
'This must be Bulma's doing' he sniggered to himself
On the Front was what appeared to be a dancing devil wearing a party hat similar to the one he was wearing, and a pitch fork that had pierced a rather cheesy piñata. 'Definitely Bulma's doing.'
The Card read as followed;
: To BRAT
I hope you have one HELL of a birthday!
VEGETA:
Gohan laughed more at the fact that Bulma had somehow forced Vegeta into signing a card rather than the relatively LAME joke the card had implied. But Gohan was snapped out of his musings by the hoarse voice of Yamacha yelling from the window for everyone to check out what's on the television.
Bulma dragged Vegeta with her and Gohan abandoned his now melted cake, and headed into the large main living area of the Briefs estate. Everyone was crowding around a 105in flat screen, sitting or standing where they would be comfortable. Gohan walked over and stood behind his mother who was sitting on the couch next to a now seated Bulma. On the TV was some sort of parade or celebration, there were thousands of people crowding behind barricades of steel and police and swat personal. Gohan read the news title slowly crossing the screen; in all actuality he wasn't too surprised by what he was reading.
:MR. SATAN WORL HERO! DESTROYS CELL WITH ONE PUNCH! MR. SATAN AWARDED KEYS TO EVERY MAJOR CITY:
Gohan chuckled as his mother threw a tantrum to end all tantrums, she was livid!
"That should be my little boy covered in confetti, my boy being showered with money and glory. NOT SOME UNDER EDUCATED HOOLIGAN WITH A GOD COMPLEX!" she bellowed as the rest of that gang laughed at her antics.
She and the rest of the Z-Fighters became quiet when the blaring of ceremonially music and the celebrations of the crowd dwindled to a whisper and the "hooligan" took up the podium, snatching the microphone from its holder.
"YEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH THE WORLD CHAMP HERE!I AM HERE TODAY TO OFFICALY ANNOUNCE THAT I AM THE DESTROYER OF CELL YEAAAHHHAHAH! AND I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT ALL HONNERS GIVEN TO ME THIS DAY!" Hercule boasted, he didn't care if he was lying to the world and his daughter, he was too caught up in the moment and the doors that would be opened for him.
As he stood there, answering questions from the press, everyone sitting in the living room back at Bulma's were cracking up just listening to the made up fantasies he had come up with to appease the crowd. But the air in the room had turned from giggles and tears, to serious in a heartbeat. A question was brought up as to who the other fighters were and how the managed to do the miraculous things they did.
"Of course I know who they are! They were nothing but a bunch of fakers trying to get some recognition from the day by pretending to fly and planting explosives around the ring." Hercule stated in a serious tone to show his disapproval for the 'fake fighters', "That Trickster in the HORRID orange gi who went up after I lost my balance and slipped out of the ring, is nothing but a liar and a despicable person for trying to deceive you all!"
By this point Gohans rage was thru the roof, unable to keep his ki from rising he somehow managed to make it outside where he dropped to his knees as his ki began to skyrocket. He could barely interpret the panicked screams for him to keep calm from his friends and family, he swore he could even hear his father trying to calm him with sweet words and praise. But It didn't matter, nothing mattered. All his anger and guilt swirled around him as he ascended to SSJ2 and his ki until he was surpassing his maximum when he was at his peak in the fight with cell.
He could make out the surprised gasps of his friends as his hair flickered back to its original color, although for only a moment before it changed right back to a brilliant gold, a new terrifying level beyond which thought impossible, made its self-know to the Z-fighters.
A cold and terrifying darkness took hold of Gohan after that, he awoke later to find himself in the medical wing of Capsule Corps. He blinked his eyes a few times to adjust his eyes to the light to see Vegeta in the opposite bed from him sitting entirely naked and slightly damp with nothing but a sheet covering his little sayain, with Bulma and Mrs. Briefs tending to his multiple wounds.
"When the hell is Green Bean going to be back with one of those blasted beans, I am tired of being around this overly cheery psychopath you call a mother! NO I AM SURE I DON'T WANT A SPONGE BATH DAMNABLE WOMAN!" Mrs. Briefs chuckled and Vegeta rolled his eyes till they fell upon Gohan. "Brat! Give us some warning next time before you fly off the handle like that, interrupt my shower again and next time I won't just knock you unconscious." Vegeta spat while giving Gohan a threating glare.
Gohan returned the glare with a son grin and a scratch of the back of his head.
Erasa was shocked to say the least, "Where do you live? In a cave somewhere in the mountains!?"
"Actually I Live in the 439 mountain area, and no I do not live in a cave." Gohan fired back rolling his eyes at the condescending blonde.
After Erasa interrupting the class with the newly required information that Gohan live more than four hours away, and Gohan hiding his head in the book to avoid the stares from the rest of the class, he was relieved when the bell rang and he dashed for the exit. The rest of his classes where boring and to slow paced for him even him to stay awake. He found a comfy tree to sit under outside of the cafeteria where he consumed his lunch and would make sure to thank his mother for the 4 dozen brownies she included with his lunch. He was in the last class of the day which was gym, which since he was new he had to fill out paperwork and liability forms for his Uniform and locker. Gohan was ecstatic for the break to be by himself until he counted the final few moments of his first day of school away. The bell rang and he handed his paper work to the teacher, and promptly head for the roof where he, did a quick ki check to check for anyone in is vicinity and took off toward Bulma's.
Making his way thru the labyrinth that is Capsule Corporation, following the path that would lead him the quickest to Bulma's ki signature. When he finally reached her lab he politely knocked and announced his presence. The door slid open reveling Bulma's warm face, she stepped aside to allow him access. He stepped in and the door shut behind him.
"so let me get this straight, you want to make you a capsulated costume just in case you want to fight crime without anyone suspecting it's you?" Bulma questioned.
"Yep! Nothing to flashy tho if you can help it, something respectable and intimidating would do the trick." Gohan beamed thinking of all the poses that could go along with his new crime fight alter ego.
"OK OK Gohan, ill see what I can do go hang out or something I will find you when it's finished ok kiddo?" Bulma replied.
"Awesome! Thanks a million Bulma! " Gohan buzzed with excitement as he headed out the door and plopped down on the big purple couch right outside Bulma's lab. He sat there for about an hour and a half thinking about today's events and how he would tell his mother about his first day of public schooling.
He was suddenly brought from out from his thoughts when a watch fell into his lap, he looked up and saw a smirking Bulma staring down at him. "Well are you going to go try it on? Hmm?" she poked his forehead.
Gohan jumped up slipping the watch over his wrist and made a b-line for the nearest mirror. Once positioned in front of the mirror, he inspected the watch and placed a finger over the blue button. Glancing over at Bulma for conformation which she nodded her head that that was the correct choice to activate his disguise. He hesitated then pressed the button activating the integrated capsuling systems inside the watch. After the light and smoke had settled he was stunned with what he saw in the mirror. He looked at himself for a few moments twisting his body to see different angles of himself, then he went SSJ and gave himself a look over for a few moments before ascending into SSJ2.
He looked at himself again in the mirror, after 30 seconds of viewing his new disguise with his SSJ2 attributes he turned to face Bulma and smirked.
"This is perfect."
