Chapter 2: Meet Beat

Around 2 hours after the encounter with the unknown man in the street, Gohan finally began to wake up. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see he was in a hospital room.

"Ungh." He groaned, trying to get up.

"Gohan!" Videl said, walking to him. "Are you OK?"

Gohan nodded weakly, and then saw that Videl wasn't the only in the room. "Hey, what's Piccolo and Trunks doing here?" He asked.

"Videl told us what happened." Piccolo said. "She said you had been knocked out by some guy in the street."

"Yeah." Gohan nodded. "He was destroying a lot of buildings and hurting people. I thought I could take him out, but when attacked him, it didn't do anything."

"You mean it didn't harm him!?" Trunks asked, amazed.

Gohan nodded, and then he turned to Videl. "But, what did he do to you after he knocked me out?"

Videl tearfully told Gohan exactly what happened, at which when she finished he crossed his arms.

"So he wants to destroy the planet then." He said.

Videl and Piccolo nodded.

"Then we have to stop him!" Gohan tried to stand up, but he wasn't able to.

"Here," Piccolo walked to him and gave him a Senzu bean. "I figured you might need this."

"Thanks Piccolo!" Gohan said gratefully, taking the bean and eating it. He then jumped up. "So where can we find him?" He asked.

"That I can easily tell you." A voice said at the door.

Everyone turned in alarm, but noticed that it was only Vegeta.

"Oh, thank goodness. I thought you were the guy on the street." Videl breathed.

Vegeta grinned. "I saw him headed for the wastelands. Apparently he and Piccolo have the same bad taste in where to live, none." He smirked when he finished.

Piccolo frowned, but didn't say anything.

"Then let's go!" Gohan said, flying out of the window. Piccolo and Videl followed, and Trunks was starting to when Vegeta stopped him.

"What do you think you're doing?" He asked his son.

"Uh, helping Gohan." Trunks said.

Vegeta looked at Trunks. "I cannot allow you to come with us." He said, to Trunks' surprise.

"But…why dad?"

"Because this is not work for a kid!"

"But dad, I may be young, but I'm strong!"

"I said no, and that's that! Now, get back to your mother!"

With that, Vegeta flew after the others.

"Sure, the adults get all of the fun." Trunks grumbled, as he flew back to Capsule Corp.

Meanwhile, on the Supreme Kai's planet: Supreme Kai and Elder Kai were talking with each other.

"You know Elder Kai, I'm worried about Earth." Supreme Kai said. "This new guy is very powerful, but nobody knows it yet."

"Well, what do you suggest we do?" The Elder Kai asked.

Supreme Kai stood up quickly. "I have to tell Goku about this. This threat is the greatest they've ever faced, and if Goku isn't there I'm afraid that all will be lost."

Elder Kai nodded in agreement. "Go then," he said. "I cannot stop you. Go tell Goku, and may you have luck."

"Thank you Elder Kai." Supreme Kai said, as he flew swiftly towards King Kai's planet, where Goku was busy training.

"Kamehameha!" Goku shouted, firing his signature attack. The Kamehameha went completely around the planet, and right before it hit him he turned around and deflected it.

King Kai watched his friend and pupil. Goku has learned a lot since he first came. He thought to himself.

Back on Earth, Gohan, Piccolo, Videl, and Vegeta were flying as fast as they could to the wastelands, to catch this mysterious man.

"We're here, but where is he?" Videl asked, as the four stopped and looked around.

Piccolo pointed to a spot a couple hundred yards ahead of them, where a man was standing. "He's right there." He said.

The four levitated down to the ground and walked up to him.

"Alright whoever you are, I order you to surrender yourself!" Videl commanded.

The man turned around, and Videl and Gohan instantly knew it was him by the ponytail.

"Well well, look who it is." He said coolly. "I didn't expect you to be here so soon."

That voice! Why have I heard it? Vegeta wondered.

"And Gohan," the man continued. "I didn't expect you to recover that fast. I'm impressed."

"Enough talk!" Gohan said sternly. "You will pay for attacking the city! But first, who are you? And why did you attack Satan City?"

The man laughed. "Pardon my laughing," he said. "I just find it humorous that you think you can stop me."

Gohan, Piccolo, and Videl glared at him.

"Well, to answer who I am: My name is Beat, leader of the Black Skulls!"

Vegeta gasped when he said that. The Black Skulls! That's why he looked and sounded familiar! But wait, if he's here, what does he want?

Piccolo noticed Vegeta's change of attitude, but said nothing.

"So, Beat, what do you want here?" Gohan asked.

Beat crossed his arms and looked at each of the Z Fighters in front of him. "Didn't Videl give you my message?" He asked. "I'm here to destroy this planet!"

"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Piccolo shouted, speeding at Beat.

Beat blocked all of Piccolo's attacks, and then teleported behind him and hit him in the back of the neck, knocking him out.

"Piccolo no!" Videl screamed, as the Namekian fell to the ground senseless.

"Anyone else want to die?" Beat asked, smiling.

Gohan, ticked off about Piccolo, walked forward. "I won't forgive you for doing that!" He shouted angrily.

Beat chuckled. "So, you will be next then. Very well."

Gohan got into a defense stance. "I'm ready when you are." He said.

Beat smirked. "This will be fun!"

Gohan and the Z Fighters have finally met their opponent, and already found that he is a lot stronger than they originally thought. And now, Gohan steps up to the plate to fight. Can Gohan defeat Beat and save the world? Can Supreme Kai get to Goku? And what is the similarity of Beat and Vegeta? Found out next time in Dragon Ball Z!

Chapter 2 done! This was SO much fun, having Trunks and Vegeta arguing with each other! So, Supreme Kai: He's my favorite Kai, of course he'll be in it! So, can anyone guess what Beat and the Black Skull have to do with Vegeta? If you find out, you get a cookie! :D
