~Saiyaman Saga~

Chapter 8 – War!

Videl had never gotten a call from the Chief telling her to go somewhere outside of Satan City, but that Saturday morning had been interrupted just for that. There has been a break in over in West City, and they had gotten the man to talk. Apparently the man had ties to the Red Rain Army, hence the reason Videl was headed over. The strange part was that he wasn't at the West City's police station, but rather Capsule Corp.

I've never actually been to Capsule Corp before. I wonder if it's really as big as what I've heard. As Videl landed in front of the large complex of buildings, she noticed a woman with blue standing near the gate to enter. The buildings are about the same size as the mansion back home...but they sure have a lot of open space.

As Videl stepped out, the woman walked up to her. "It's a real treat to have you over Videl, I just wish we could have met under better circumstances."

Videl nodded. "You must be Mrs Briefs. Ya, it's no treat to be broken into."

Bulma laughed. "Well, not for me at least."

Confused, Videl wondered what she meant, but Bulma turned and waved for her to follow. Deciding not to worry about it, she did as asked.

After crossing the estate over to a rather large building, Bulma punched in a few numbers and the door slid open. After walking down a small hallway, they reached another door. After the two walked in, a blur shot past past them and stopped just behind Videl. Videl looked back in shock to find a man cowering behind her.

In a voice that had pure fear wrapped around every word, the man stuttered out a few words. "T-take me in! Do what ever you want to me! J-just keep that kid away from me!"

Videl blinked, looking back in front of her, a small boy walked up with a tape from a voice recorder in his hand.

"Man, I thought playing cop was going to be funner than that." The small boy tossed Videl the tape, as a grin crossed his face. "Though getting him to talk was kind fun." The man behind Videl winced at the boy said fun.

Videl blinked again, looking to Bulma as the boy walked away. Bulma shrugged. "Believe me, I had nothing to do with it. My husband and son caught him last night, and they got him to talk on that tape."

Looking down at the tape, and then back at the guy behind her she was at a lose for words. "W...well, I'll take him to Satan city for further questioning."

Bulma smiled. "Just tell him that if he doesn't talk, you'll leave him in a room alone with my son for a while."

The man nearly screamed as he hugged Videl from behind. "N-no! Please, whatever you do, don't do that! D-d-don't worry, I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"

Videl landed an elbow to the mans face, effectively rendering him unconscious. She picked up the man and flung him over her shoulder. "Well, I'll be leaving then, thanks for your help." Strange family...I wonder what that kid did to this guy?

-DBZ-

Videl was simply amazed at just what was on this tape. Somehow that kid had gotten this guy, who's name was Bob, to confess to everything. He gave every last detail he knew about the Red Rain Army and it's ties to Nail industries. Every cell in every major city with their leaders, he even agreed to testify in a court of law. The chief was just as baffled. After listening to the tape a few times and talking to Bob in person after he came too, they had enough info to take down everything having to do with the Red Rain.

Videl sat back in her chair, thinking of the best move to make next. I'm sure they'll know soon that we got this guy to talk, so we need to move fast. But if we just run in there, we'll easily be over our heads. As much as I hate to say it...we need that Saiyadweeb.

Standing up, Videl looked at the Chief. "Contact the police chiefs in the cities with Red Rain cells in them and start to coordinate things. We'll need to hit them all at once if we're going to get them all."

The chief took out his handkerchief and rubbed his forehead with it. "Such a thing Videl...are you sure it's even possible?"

"It'll have to be. I'll leave you to it."

"But what will you do?"

A scowl crossed her face. "I'm gonna try and get some help."

-DBZ-

Having the day off, Gohan had decided to patrol Satan City giving himself a break from his mother. Sighing, the super hero watched as two crazy speeders slowly were taken away by some cops. Suddenly a yellow jet-copter shot just over him, blowing the Saiyaman over causing him to land on his face.

Slowly standing up holding his head, he looked to see Videl landing. As the girl approached him, he straitened himself up and waved at his friend. "H-hello Miss Videl. What seems to be the problem?"

Videl's glare only worsened as she suddenly threw out a hand at the hero. Looking away and making a face that looked like she just ate something disgusting, she balled her free hand into a fist. "Look, we got some people that have been attacking with that crazy technology and...well...I need your help."

Gohan blinked. I'll be damned. "Where there is evil, I will be there! Of course I'll help!"

Videl glared back at Saiyaman. "Stow it. I don't need the dumb one liners, just your help."

Gohan waved his hands in front of him. "Y-yes, of course." Sheesh, she's really pushy today!

-DBZ-

After listening to the tap, Gohan was really feeling the pressure. He wanted to laugh after hearing Trunks over the tape torture the poor man. He could only be thankful that Goten hadn't been there, because if he had been Bob might not have made it.

After listening to the plan a few times, Gohan nodded. The plan was to hit all the cells in the other towns at the same time first, and then hit the main one in Satan city just after. Videl and Gohan would lead the way making sure everything went smoothly. It was to happen later to day to make sure they didn't have time to react to the spy spilling the beans. Though they didn't think it possible, they still figured that the RR Army would find out about it somehow. So the best plan would be to move fast.

Gohan stood up and smiled under his helmet. "Well then, if we know what we have to do, lets get into position!"

-DBZ-

"You're sure the changes will be enough to take Saiyaman out?" Dino was sitting in his chair holding a chart that he had gotten from one of his lead scientists who was in the room standing across from him.

"Based on the data we received, yes. It should be more than enough." The man in the lab coat stated plainly.

Dino grinned slightly. "Good, put it in the closet and you may be excused." The scientists did as told and turned to leave.

"Boss! Boss Dino! We're so screwed!" Claudio burst through Dino's office door as the scientist left, breathing heavily. "Every single one of our operations outside of Satan city have been hit, including all Nail Industries buildings! There are police starting to mass outside this building as we speak!"

Dino stood up in from his chair, slowly looking out his window.

Nuncio burst in seconds later. "B-boss! The cops, along with military forces are here! There' in the bottom floors and coming up now! We got to get you out of here!"

Dino didn't move, still staring out the window.

"B-boss?" Claudio stepped forward.

Dino balled his hands into fists, turning to his men. "Prepare for battle. I will not let them get away with this!"

"S-sir?" Nuncio blinked.

"You heard me! Get ready, we're going to fight back! I will not let them take everything from me after I've gotten so far! If I can't have power, I'll take it...by force."

The two men ran out of the office room to suit up for battle. Dino turned and walked to a closet in his office. Opening it up, he pulled out a small suit case. A cold grin crossed the mans face.

-DBZ-

So far so good. Videl and Saiyaman had lead the police into the Nail Industries office building and everyone so far had given up without a fight. Videl grit her teeth together. They were yet to face Dino or either of his two best men. This is going to well...to easy. Where are they?

Gohan had been thinking the same thing. He couldn't shake this feeling that there was trouble ahead.

A large explosion rocked the building, bringing most people to their knees to stabilize themselves. Videl and Saiyaman however, stood tall and looked up. Gohan spoke up first. "That was just one floor above us! Come on, lets go!"

Videl nodded, following after the super hero. When they reached the next floor, they found a rather large hole in the wall. Running up to it and looking out, they saw three small dots on the ground looking back up at them. Gohan squinted his eyes as he saw a small light grew from one of the dots. N-no way...is that an energy wave attack?

Before he knew it, the energy ball was almost at the building. Quickly grabbing Videl, Gohan shot out the hole in the wall just as the energy ball entered, causing a huge explosion which made another hole on the other side of the building.

Gohan landed, setting Videl down. Videl was looking around trying to figure out just what had happened while Gohan was eying the man in the middle.

The one called Nuncio had a pair of the same boots that had increased the speed of the swords man. Claudio had the gloves the other man had, which had increased strength. But the one who was Dino only had normal gray clothes on, including some metallic boots that looked slightly sleeker than Nuncio's and cloth gloves with a red orb in the center of the palm. Gohan was sure it was Dino who had shot the energy wave, but he couldn't sense any energy coming from him.

Gohan looked around as the people and police in the area ran for cover. Hmm...that power faintly reminds me of the androids...Dr Gero must have had some scientists working under him before he went completely crazy. "Dino, give up. We have everything we need to put you away. Make it easy on yourself."

Dino's grin on his face faded away as a glare took it's place. "No Saiyaman. I will not give in. I'll fight you to the end, I'll kill you for ruining me!" With that, Dino shot towards at speeds that caught Gohan off guard. Dino slammed into him, pushing him through a building before stepping back slightly and punching Saiyaman in the stomach, sending him flying halfway through a car.

Videl blinked, wide eyed. D-did that really just happen. He pushed him through a building! Videl turned to the two men left standing in front of her who were both grinning. Nuncio stepped forward. "Well, little lady. Sorry to say it, but your gonna die here."

Videl glared them both down. "O really?"

-DBZ-

Gohan ripped himself free from the car, standing back up. "That's some impressive stuff you're wearing. I didn't think you guys were that advanced."

Dino walked through the smoke holding a palm pointed towards Gohan. "It's our latest model. I really should thank you though. Your remarkable powers inspired my scientists to try and match it."

Gohan's glared Dino down. "You're not welcome."

Dino fired an energy wave towards Gohan, only to have it simply batted away. Gohan started to walk towards the mob man. "Evil will be punished. I must warn you, this path will only lead to pain."

Dino laughed coldly. "Sorry Saiyaman, but this time you will not win so easily." He shot forwards again, launching a volley of punches at Gohan, who blocked each and every one.

The man jumped back after not being successful. Lunging again at Saiyaman, he wound up and shot a punch aiming right at his stomach. Gohan batted the punch away and landed a knee the the man's stomach as he passed over. Dino flew up, only to stop mid air.

"So you can fly too huh?"

Whipping his mouth, Dino hovered mid air trying to regain his breath. "You never stop amazing me, but it will end with me on top!"

Dino arched his back and held his arms in a half flexed position, and let out a loud battle cry, shattering all the windows near by. A white energy wrapped around the man, giving off a cold metallic feeling to anyone who could see the energy. Dino leaned forward after the power up, grinning as he eyed Saiyaman.

Gohan was wide eyed. How'd a guy like him get technology like this? He's only going to hurt people with his power...I have to stop him. Here and now! Gohan hunched over, arms flexed. His own white aurora shot out from inside him, finishing off what windows that had survived the first burst of energy. Gohan let out a war cry as a second burst of energy shot out, doubling the size of the white aurora.

Straitening back up, Gohan eyed Dino from behind that visor. Dino grinned even after the display of power. "As soon as I kill you, I'll take that god ugly helmet off you and blast your face until your own mother won't be able to recognize you!"

Dino shot towards Gohan, launching another volley of punches and kicks.

-DBZ-

Videl was out numbered, but she was not ready to admit she was outmatched. Dropping down into a defensive stance, she readied herself. Nuncio shot forward, becoming a blur as he started to circle Videl. Videl's eyes shot everywhere trying to catch a glimpse of this guy. Before she could find him though, Claudio jumped through the blur, the metallic glove lighting up as it powered up. He punched down, but Videl was able to jump back, but the small crater the man made caused Videl to lose her balance. Nuncio took advantage and started kicking Videl with feet that were just blurs. Videl, with her back to the ground, held her hands in an x to protect herself from the kicks. Just as the kicks stopped, she saw Claudio closing in again with another powered up punch.

Videl kicked her feet up just dodging the punch. She then, while doing a handstand, thrust both her feet up and into Claudio's stomach. He coughed up saliva as he gasped for air stumbling back.

Nuncio stopped moving for a split second. "Bro!" Videl twisted her hands around and extended her feet out in opposite directions, starting to spin creating a windmill attack. Her first leg made contact with Nuncio's legs, kicking them out from under him. As he twisted mid air from the hit, a second foot landed squarely with his shoulder sending the man flying.

Videl flipped herself back up and resumed her fighting stance. The two brothers stood up next to each other, holding their wounds. Videl grumbled. Don't these guys know when to give up?

-DBZ-

Gohan couldn't believe that some guy with no training was giving him trouble. He blocked every incoming attack from Dino, but he couldn't find an opening. Dino then jumped back and launched an energy wave at Saiyaman. Gohan fazed out of the way of the attack and re-appeared just behind Dino. Winding up, Gohan balled his fists together and thrust down. Dino, not even taking the time to look, raised his right hand up and caught the attack with ease. Gohan was stunned. H-how? Before he got an answer, Dino shot his free hand's elbow into Gohan's side.

Gohan coughed up saliva as he tried to regain his breath, while backing up holding his side. Dino would not give him that time however. Quickly he was back upon Gohan, launching yet another volley of punches and kicks. With one hand holding his side, Gohan blocked the incoming attacks with his other hand and his knees, but he was slowly falling behind without his other hand. Soon Dino connected with a punch to Gohan's face, sending him flying back through a building and out the other side.

-DBZ-

Videl, Nuncio, and Claudio turned when what sounded like an airplane hitting super sonic exploded to their right. Saiyaman shot out of a building moment's later. Unable to move in time, Gohan crash landed on top of Nuncio and Claudio, effectively knocking them cold.

Videl ran over to where Saiyaman had landed. "S-Saiyaman!" With a slightly gaping mouth, she watched as Gohan slowly stood up and looked over at her, somehow still smiling. A chip from his visor had busted off from the punch Dino had landed, reveling one onyx black eye.

Videl froze. She knew she had seen that eye somewhere before. Saiyaman looked down at the two he had landed on, and then back to Videl. "S-sorry. Didn't mean to end your fight for you." Just then, and energy wave shot through the hole Gohan had created from being hit through the building. Gohan stiffened, holding his hands out in front of him, catching the blast. "Miss Videl. I need you to get to somewhere safe. This is going to get a lot more ugly before it gets better."

Videl could only nod, but her legs wouldn't listen. Gohan let out another battle cry as the white aurora surrounding him grew yet again as he pushed the energy wave up into the sky where it exploded harmlessly. Gohan shot back through the hole where the energy had come from, only to re-appear on the other side moments later. Videl, finally finding her strength, shot down an near by ally to the next street where both fighters were at. She was not going to miss this for the world.

Gohan stood in front of Dino yet again, his white aurora surrounding him. "Last chance, I will not give you another chance to give up. I suggest you take it."

Dino only laughed coldly. "You're yet to hit me! Quit bluffing and die quietly!" With that, Dino arched his back again and began to power up. The white aurora swallowed him, growing another 3 times of what it was before.

Gohan didn't flinch. I can't believe a guy like this got his hands on this kind of technology... "I am the protector of this city. I will not back down! For all the innocence you threaten, I will not forgive you!" Slouching forward, he opened the flood gates. His white aurora slowly changed to gold. His eye that was visible due to the missing piece of visor of his helmet turning blueish green. Gohan's body then few open, his back arching back and his arms flailing out. His helmet broke apart under the power as his golden hair spiked up.

Videl ran to the end of the ally and looked up, only to step back in aw. Saiyaman is the golden fighter?
