Somewhere in Satan City
"The plan to overthrow the Ox King is underway," a dark figure announced. "Soon everyone will bow down to you." They were standing around a round table covered with papers and blood.
"You would hope that for your own sake," a raspy voice echoed throughout the room. "You know that I have power that far exceeds yours. Furthermore, I want you to eliminate Hercules Satan, for he has cast me away from everyone else by banning these so-called light tricks. I'll show him what a "light trick" could do when I blow up his mansion." He laughed manically.
"So do you want me to eliminate Hercules Satan or are you going to blow him up?" the shadowy figure asked, confused.
"Kill him and his daughter and the I'll blow up his mansion. Who will want the privilege of killing them?
"I do," a quiet brown headed boy said.
"If you complete this job, Mercenary Dave, I'll promote you into a Captain."
"I'll go immediately," Dave mumbled.
"Soon the whole world will bow down to me after we destroy every other energy user, including the son of the person who cast me into this machinery, Gohan."
Videl's POV
If you ever wanted to hear gossip, all you needed to go was to do the Girl's locker room. Most people were talking about how Dave dumped Angela and who he was currently dating dating. Videl didn't like him; just a pervert who loved blood and fighting. One time he even tried to seduce her which resulted in a rather large bruise. She quickly changed into her gi, which looked just like her dad's which annoyed her. However, it had a light brown undershirt.
As usual, the people in the "in crowd" were gossiping and the nerds were sitting in corners, hoping they could skip PE, except Gohan who sat in between both groups.
"Today, we'll be starting a martial-arts session. Today Mr. Satan will be visiting and demonstrating," Mr. Matthews announced. Everybody liked Mr. Matthews, especially because he didn't give out detentions."
Everybody started cheering, even the nerds who didn't want to do anything physical. Only Gohan looked tense and somewhat agitated.
"What's wrong?" Videl asked as she slid near Gohan.
"It's nothing..." he quickly changed his mind, "I don't really...like...your father."
"You should be thankful, he saved your life," Videl replied angrily. She didn't really respect her father that much either but he did save everyone from Cell.
"That may be true, but he said a lot of rude things about other fighters, such as my hero, Son Goku," Gohan pointed out.
"Still, that still gives no reason to disrespect him. Without him, Son Goku and the others wouldn't even be alive right now."
"You don't get it," he mumbled quietly to himself. "And probably never will by the way your dad acts."
Suddenly, Hercules Satan ran into the door. "Introducing... Hercules Satan," one of his butchers said with a loud voice.
"That's right. Today I'll be demonstrating how to fight like a real man." He placed 10 pieces of wood on the ground. "Ha!" he cried as he jumped in the air and karate chopped 7 pieces. "Ow!" he squeaked.
"I mean," he cleared his throat, "that was easy. I could do more of course."
Everybody excluding Videl and Gohan clapped and cheered loudly. Videl thought it was especially pathetic, considering there were already cracks in the wood to make it easier to cut.
"Now to demonstrate," Hercules said, "I'll fight one of my top students, Sharpner."
Sharpner flexed his arms and looked around. Finally he found where Videl was and gave her a seductive wink. He went onto the mat with Hercules on the other side.
"Whoever gets knocked out of the ring or can't get up for 10 seconds loses," Hercules said as he flexed his muscles.
You couldn't really say the match was even. Even thought her dad was an idiot, he was the strongest in the world. Plus, he had more experience.
Both of them got into their stance, which was the tradition Hercules Satan Stance of Awesomeness. It was basically a basic kicking stance with the only change being that the right was changed into a tiger fist.
Sharpner attacked first, launching a fury of kicks and punches, which was known as the Hercules Combo of Justice. Her dad blocked them easily with his right arm and his right leg. Sharpner finished with a awesome Dynamic Kick, which he dodged with a tilt of his head. Using Sharpner's obvious balance disadvantage, he used a foot sweep (which surprisingly didn't have a name) and knocked Sharpner over. Sharpner tried to use a basic kip-up (look it up) but failed and landed on his butt. And he was in an advanced level. Sharpner tried to look as if he meant to do that and kicked her dad in the stomach. Her grimaced, but to him, Sharpner's kick seemed like a slightly strong person's kick. Hercules used the Rolling Attack and rolled into Sharpner, pushing him out the ring. He raised two fingers and laughed loudly, although his only accomplishment was beating up a high school boy.
Everyone clapped except Gohan who was busy laughing his head off and Videl who was reading a random book she found on the ground. She had ask why he was laughing soon of else she die of curiousness, which killed the cat. "What's so funny about this Gohan? You think you can beat my dad?" she asked.
"Easily," Gohan answered, absentmindedly.
Videl smirked. She wished Gohan knew what he was in for. "Dad, Gohan volunteers to fight you."
"What? This nerd?" he laughed out loud. Suddenly his smirk faltered as he gazed at Gohan almost like he recognized Gohan. "Um... I won't fight him, I'll break him."
Everybody laughed, but Gohan just smirked back. There was some kind of relationship between them that she was destined to find out. She narrowed her eyes trying to notice every detail. Her dad's nervous twitching and Gohan's audacity. Almost like Gohan was stronger than him and they both knew it. She quickly dismissed that thought "Nah it couldn't be that. How could Gohan be stronger than her dad? Even if that was true, then why is he pretending to be a nerd?" she thought to herself.
Videl had a plan. Quickly she yelled in a disguised voice, "We want to Hercules fight!" The rest of the people started cheering and yelling.
Her dad's expression turned into sheer panic."It it will be a burden to my pride to fight someone so weak. I don't want to fight him. I don't..." his complaints were drowned out from the cheering.
"Pride? Since when did you have any?" Gohan asked provokingly. Videl never seen Gohan like this. Then again, she only know him for 4 periods. Did he have different personalities, or was he just pretending to be nice just to get on her good side?
They pushed her dad into the ring along with Gohan who calmly stared him down.
A/N This was one of the more difficult chapters. I rewrote it many times but this was the best I could make it. This was longer and actually included the fight, but I felt the need to divide it because I couldn't find I proper ending for the end of the fight. Just a side note, if you put a review on Ch. 1 after I finished Ch.2, I wouldn't post it here.
Aaron Leach- Again, I appreciate your encouragement.
Tim Kudo- Thanks I will keep updating
Chaos 267- Thanks
Erstine 13624- I hope I wouldn't keep you waiting either.
shadowr2d2kirby-Thanks, actually for Hercules I was going to show character development with a little blackmail mixed with all of it on Gohan's part. Still, Hercules will get what he deserves.
