Unlimited: Story of a Dreamer
Chapter 2: Reasons for Delay (Short chapter)
The two city wide heroes stood in awe of the globally known fighter, who had finally reappeared after a month of waiting.
"Unlimited!" Videl said, overjoyed at her wish coming true.
The teen gave her the usual smirk and said, "I've been waiting to see you again. I assume you still have questions?"
"Yeah, for starters, why are you robbing this bank?" Videl said, her face changing to calm.
Unlimited chuckled and tossed the bags of money back into the bank and then snapped his fingers. Before the bystanders and everyone knew it, jets of light raced to every place there was damage and repaired it. The teen then lowered his hand and said, "What do you mean?"
Videl looked with regard to that incredible technique, and then Saiyaman said, "Well, I guess you're cleared for right now, sir!"
"Such a ridiculous personality you have there," Unlimited told the green-spandex clad Gohan, who then raised an eyebrow about his criticism.
"Forget about that, you have a TON of explaining to do," Videl reminded.
"Hmm, isn't this funny?" Unlimited asked, "I come back and in 3 seconds you are already asking me to explain my life."
"Well, you kept me waiting a month, and I'm not a waiting person," Videl said, antsy to hear about Unlimited's background.
"Don't worry, you'll learn what you want to know, but I think it's only fair to let the others who fought me listen too."
The two looked at each other, and when Gohan nodded, Videl sighed and said, "Fine. Let's go, though, I'm not waiting very much longer!"
"Right," Unlimited agreed, and then raised his arm to detach one of his bracelets, which dropped to the ground and then disappeared, which Videl had not seen when she had fought him.
"Let's go," Gohan then interjected, and the three took off, leaving the police in the dark, who all stood there with their mouths open at the scene they had just witnessed.
The three headed for Capsule Corps, and then Videl said, "What took you so long to get back? Couldn't you have resurrected yourself?"
Unlimited looked to her and smirked, saying, "I could have come back within a week, as self-resurrection takes a week of preparation, but I wanted to indulge in the world I was in. After all, Other World is better than life."
"I don't know, not if you don't have your girlfriend close," Gohan said, having switched back to normal clothes.
"Yeah, same here," Videl said.
"So you have a girlfriend Videl?" Unlimited joked, and Videl blushed heavily and yelled, "NO! I MEANT BOYFRIEND!"
"Of course," Unlimited said, chuckling softly, Gohan laughing as well, when Videl wheeled around to Gohan and bopped him on the head.
"OW! Come on, Videl, I was just teasing!" Gohan complained, and Videl shook her head, smiling at Gohan's discomfort.
They continued on for a minute or two when Unlimited said, "You two should go get Goku and his family, I'm sure they also all want to know."
"Yeah, and a lot of our friends too," Gohan told him, as Krillin, Yamcha, and the others also wanted to meet the new fighter.
"You two go get them, I'll meet you at Capsule Corp in half an hour," Unlimited said to them.
"Where are you going?," the couple said in unison.
"I want to look around this world a little more, since I never got the chance too," Unlimited replied, and then ascended higher into the sky as he took off fast, the two not sure what he had to do here.
As the two teenagers flew off towards Gohan's house, they mulled what they had just seen over in their heads.
"WOW, he actually came back!" Videl said, excited to finally be able to talk to Unlimited.
"I told you he would," Gohan said, and Videl smiled at him brightly.
Gohan came closer to her and held her hand as the two jetted towards the Son residence.
As they neared, they broke apart their hands and descended, landing in front of the house at the same time and Gohan calmly walked to the door. Videl, on the other hand, was zoning out as she gathered all the questions in her head.
"Hello?! Dad? Mom? Goten?" Gohan yelled as he opened the door, and Chichi appeared.
"Oh, Gohan, I see you brought Videl along too?" Chichi said precariously, eyeing the two together, thinking how happy a couple they would be.
"Yeah, but we aren't spending too much time here, we just met someone at Satan City," Videl told her.
"Oh really, who is it?" Chichi asked, not sure who could be important to them.
"Remember that guy we beat one month ago in that fight?" Gohan asked, and Chichi's face filled with surprise.
"He's back?! That Unlimited guy?!" Chichi said somewhat panickedly.
At that moment, Goku walked in and asked, "What's going on?"
"Unlimited is back!" Videl told the Saiyan, who then became equally shocked as his wife.
"WHAT?! For real?! Wow, he actually did resurrect himself!" Goku said, excited to meet him for real this time.
"Yeah, he said he's going to tell us about everything at Capsule Corp. No doubt Bulma and a lot of the others want to know who he is," Gohan said.
"Alright, let's get going!" Goku said, and then went off to find Goten.
"Hmm, I wonder how schooled he is? He seemed pretty intelligent from what he's done," Chichi said, her prevailing opinion of brains over brawns emerging again.
As Goku and the newly informed Goten came in, the boy chirped, "He's back?! That same guy that said he would destroy the Earth and then said he was kidding?!"
"That's right squirt, and we're off to meet him, but you have to stay here," Gohan teased, and Goten pouted, "Aww no fair, I want to see him too! I want to learn to snap and do awesome tricks like he does!"
"Well, let's go then!" Goku announced, and the Sons and Videl held onto each other as Goku put two fingers to his head. After a second, they found themselves in front of Capsule Corp, Bulma's mom watering the plants as usual.
She looked up and, in her ditzy way, said, "Oh, hello there Goku and everyone! How are you?"
"Fine thanks, we just heard about a special person coming here in a little while, and we thought you all might want to know," Goku explained.
"Oh, well Bulma is in the kitchen right now, and Vegeta is doing his training. Would you like some tea while you wait for the special person?"
"Sure," Chichi answered for Goku, and they all began to move into the house.
As they entered the kitchen, they found Trunks taking a chocolate bar from the fridge and Bulma drinking a cup of coffee when they walked in.
"Oh, hey everyone, what's up?" Bulma asked, wondering why the entire procession had come to her house.
"We just got word that Unlimited is coming here soon," Goku told her as Goten broke off towards Trunks and Gohan and Videl moved to the side as Bulma's mom began to get Chichi some tea.
"No way! He's coming here?" Bulma said shocked, and Trunks also looked up in surprise.
"Yeah, me and Videl met with him earlier and he said to tell anyone who wanted to hear his story," Gohan explained.
"Wow, after threatening Earth and taking it back, then coming back to life, he's got some skills there," Bulma said, a little dreamily.
At that moment, Vegeta walked in and took one look at Goku and said, "Woman! What is that clown Kakarot doing here?"
"Waiting for Unlimited," Bulma said in a nondescript way, shocking the wits out of Vegeta.
"WHAT?!" Vegeta looked irritated and there was a hint of anxiety in his face.
"Yeah, he's going to be here in a few minutes!" Goten piped from behind him.
Vegeta looked shocked and angry, still not happy having to lose to Unlimited a month ago.
"How long did he say before he got here?" Trunks asked.
Videl answered, "He said 30 minutes, but that should be up by now."
As if on cue to those words, they felt his energy spike, very close to their position.
"Feel that?" Gohan asked, and Goku replied, "He must like dramatic entrances."
The group of people went outside to look for the teen except for Vegeta and Bulma's mom. The Sons and others in company looked around for him, but didn't see him.
"Hey, where is he?" Goten asked.
"Uhh, dunno," Trunks replied.
But then, they heard a crack of thunder from above them, and they looked up to see Unlimited newly materialized, electricity circling his body.
"Sorry, but I like to make one dramatic impression when meeting people," the teen explained calmly, a smirk appearing on his face once again.
"Hey, it really is you!" Goku said, satisfied that he did decide to show up.
"Yes, and I assume you all were wondering who I was a month ago?" Unlimited inquired, and most of them nodded in unison as Unlimited descended towards the ground.
"Dude, you were so powerful, and then you just snap your fingers and you do all those awesome things! Can I learn to do that?" Trunks asked hyperactively.
"YEAH, me too!" Goten echoed.
"Now hold on Goten, we first need to find out who this young man really is. He did revive my future daughter-in-law," Chichi said.
"MOM! PLEASE DON'T DO THAT!" Gohan yelled, and Videl visibly blushed.
"She's right though," Unlimited said, and they looked at him again, and he added, "I did resurrect her. Now I'll tell you how and why I came here, just as I promised."
"Great, let's move into the sitting area," Bulma suggested, and she led the way into the house, the Son family minus Gohan following first, and then Gohan, Videl, and Unlimited entering last, Trunks closing the door behind them.
As Unlimited came in, he looked to Vegeta, who had been standing in the shadows, and Unlimited said, as if a sudden shadow had loomed over him, "You shouldn't regret your loss. Goku did not win by himself either."
Vegeta didn't say anything but his face did change as he realized that fact. Unlimited turned from him and went into the sitting room, where many were already situated.
Goten and Trunks fidgeted as Unlimited took a seat on a nearby armchair, and then said, "This story is hard to explain, so I guess I'll start from the beginning."
