Another chapter up, I hope you like this one. The "Old Friend" is finally introduced, and you get your first albeit, anemic glimpse of the story main bad guy. Hope you enjoy.

An old Friend, a New Ally

Gohan placed his fingers to his forhead for the third time, and was successful. He reappeared just outside of Satan City, so as to avoid being seen just appearing out of thin air. Gohan took in the city from this distance, and could even more strongly sense the power coming from the center of it now. While this power was nothing compared to his own, there would likely be some issues, as there were with all unwanted guests of Earth.

"You felt it too huh son." Gohan looked to his left to see his dad as well as Videl.

"Dad, why did you bring her with?" Gohan said slightly agitated.

"Don't look at me, I told her no, but she grabbed on just before I left. She's pretty fast for a human."

"Yeah you can thank Gohan for that," Videl said. "Gohan, I just wanted to thank you for what you did," Videl said this as she walked toward him to engage him in a hug. Gohan returned the hug with a kiss.

"Well, what do you think Gohan? Should we go see what kind of trouble landed in the city?"

"Yeah, we better hurry, who knows what kind of trouble could be caused with that kind of a power level," Gohan said with a little worry in his voice. Both he and Goku knew that they would easily be able to take care of whatever it was. None the less, this power felt evil, similar to that of Frieza.

"Mind if I tag along?" Still holding Videl, Gohan looked skyward and spotted his old mentor.

"Hey Piccolo, nice of you to join us," Gohan said with a smile. "I take it you felt how dark this power feels?"

"Hm, quite. It is a power not that dissimilar from Frieza, extremely cold and evil," Piccolo explained.

"Well, let's g-," Goku was unable to finish his sentence as a large explosion could be heard and seen coming out of the center of the city.

"Videl, I want you to fly back to your dad's and wait there. I will come get you when it's safe," Gohan said as he looked Videl in the eyes, his hands on her shoulders.

"No Gohan, I'm coming with y-."

"No you're not," Gohan said, his voice very stern. "These guys are far more powerful than those androids you faced a few nights ago. The power these guys have could tear you to shreds. I couldn't live with myself if I let something happen to you. Please just go!"

"Fine," Videl said as she turned hard and took to the skies.

Why the hell was his master so infatuated with such a worthless little planet? This and many other questions were running rampant in the head of the being that finished piloting his crafts landing procedure. There are far better places to control. The beings on this planet will not even make decent slaves, they are all too weak. Regardless, the being with these thoughts would not disobey a direct order from his master. The being was a sickly yellow color, but he was by all means healthy. His eyes, were a dark, blood-red color, and that was only the start of his terrifying features. The yellow creature had a plethora of horns growing out of his head, but in a slicked back fashion as though they were large hair follicles. His ears were imbedded into his head, giving no piece of flesh for his enemies to grab onto. Inch long nails adorned his hands, but his feet were inside of warriors boots. His torso was protected by nothing other than the famous Saiyan armor. Besides the spandex style shorts that he wore, the rest of his body was without some form of covering. It was the way his master made his warriors dress, as little restriction of movement as possible. His second in command could be heard running down the corridor toward the cockpit. In entered what looked like a tall skinny, but still well built, version of King Kai. He was red skinned, and his antennas were thicker and shorter, but the short squat head was what made his appearance similar to that of King Kai. He looked rather odd, a skinny body, but it looked as though his head was removed and placed vertically in a press, then reattached. 

His eyes however were not behind sunglasses unlike King Kai's. They were a light purple, almost eerie against his red face.

" Argaon sir, should we proceed?" asked the red man. (A/N pronunciation: ARE-GAY-ON)

"Yes Urtan, take Bolsch and Kann with you. I will be out in a moment." (A/N pronunciation: ER-TAN, BOWL-SH, KAH-NN)

"Yes Argaon." With that Urtan left. The creature known as Argaon continued to stare out at the crowd gathering around his spaceship. Pathetic…wait, what were they called…oh yes Humans, Argaon thought to himself. Argaon punched in some computations to pull up info one last time on this worthless planet. He checked on last time to be sure that there were no beings capable of causing him trouble. He wanted this done in a day, two tops. Araon stood up, stretched and proceeded to the exit ramp. The three men he had with him were already beginning their assault on this city. He chose this city simply because it housed the man known as Hercule. His recorded power reading was insignificant when compared to his. But he felt he should take out this "World Champ" first, that would bring the people to their knees. He proceeded down the ramp, and as he did, Bolsch fired a gigantic blast of energy at a rather large building causing a massive explosion. He liked the guy, but he was a little nuts. He looked a lot like the humans of this planet, minus the fact that he was eight and a half feet tall. He had a brother who died under Frieza's command. That is when Bolsh went a little crazy. The large man was physically very muscular, but he housed extreme energy as well. He had dark blue hair unlike his brothers orange. His other cohort, Kann was a Namekian, and a damn strong one. It is rare when a peaceful race breeds a deadly warrior. Going back to Freiza, all of his men were far superior to him now, even compared to his maximum.

The people were now running and screaming hysterically, calling for their savior Mr. Satan. Argaon hoped he would come. Just then 2 men and a Namekian descended down in front of where his men were standing. On the left stood a man with with black spiky hair, next to him stood the Namkeian, and next to him stood another younger looking man also with spiky hair, but his was shorter. Maybe today wouldn't be so boring after all. Argaon stepped onto the ground and stared at the four that had just arrived.

"Are you guys the welcome party?" Argaon asked sarcastically.

"Not quite," the Namekian spoke first.

"We're more like the bouncers of this planet, and you just missed last call," the man with the shorter hair said with a chuckle.

"Hmph, you're a funny guy, what is your name?" Argaon asked.

"The name's Gohan, and I am here to make sure you don't hurt anymore people," Gohan said a look of anger on his face. All around him there were bodies, he assume most of these were from the explosion that just occurred.
"Gohan, did you say Gohan," the yellow man asked surprised.

"Yeah, what of it," Gohan said with disgust.

"Sir, it would seem that your brother was released from his planetary prison. But I am afraid to say that he has since been destroyed while attacking an unknown planet."

"Hmm, so my brother is dead. Do you know the name of the one who killed him?"

"Yes, Gohan is the name sir."

"Hmm I would very much like to meet this Gohan someday."
"Should I try to locate the planet of your brother's death sir?"
"No, that will not be necessary. Fate is a fantastic thing. I guarantee you that one day my path will cross with that of the one who killed my brother. So until then don't worry."

Argaon remembered the conversation that his master had had with one of his personal guards so many years ago. Gohan, Gohan was the name of the being that killed his master's brother. Could this be the same one? Argaon touched his scouter to get a reading on this human.



"Ha, you expect to fight and defeat me with a power level of five thousand. Think again you idiot. My power level is far superior to yours. As for the others," he checked his scouter again. "Pathetic, their power level is even weaker than yours. You do not even pose a threat to me or any of my men for that matter.

"We will see. So what should we address you as sunbeam?" Gohan asked with a smirk. He was quite impressed with that line himself.

"Hmph. You can call me Argaon. These are my men. The red one is Urtan, the big one is Bolsch, and the Namekian is Kann," Argaon informed them.

"All right enough with that damn roll call," Piccolo shouted.

"Antsy to die brother," Kann asked.

"No brother of mine would harm innocents," Piccolo shot back.

"So be it. Now you die." Kann charged up a ki ball and launched it at Piccolo. It was a direct hit.

"What a shame," Bolsch piped up. Then as the dust cleared, Piccolo could be seen completely unharmed.

"When will you people learn?" Piccolo said with a grin, his eyes closed. "This is how it is done. Special Beam Cannon," Piccolo brought his fingers to his head then toward the Namekain named Kann. Intending not to kill, Piccolo only blew off Kann's left arm.

"Ho-how did you do that, it's not possible, you're not as strong as Kann?" Urtan asked.

"Beginners luck," Piccolo said with a smile. Kann while visibly shaken at the power his Namekian adversary had, began to re-grow his arm.

"I don't believe in senseless slaughter, even though you have killed these people, I will give you a chance to leave," Goku said calmly. His face was one of disdain, but with a little hint of hope. He hated to fight to the death. It served no purpose. He only did it if he had to protect those that couldn't protect themselves from monsters like this guy.

The police had arrived and were setting up barricades around the spacecraft. It was rather large, which was probably why it landed in the intersection. The few people that survived the explosion were now waiting on the other side of the police barracks that secluded off the entire area around the spacecraft and its occupants. Hoards of others came to gawk at the spectacle that was unfolding before them. Four very unfriendly looking aliens, were squaring off against two men and another green alien.

Argaon had taken notice to the people that were watching them, and grinned.

"I'll think I'll stay right where I am," Argaon charged up an energy attack and fired in all four directions leaving craters where police and spectators had once stood.

"Nooo, you fiend, how could you do that?" Gohan yelled out.

"Your next punk," Bolsch began to run at Gohan and fired a punch that should have sent him flying to the other side of the Earth. Instead, the punch passed right through him.

"Wha…What the, where did you go?" Bolsch asked, his face full of confusion.

"Right here," Gohan said from behind him just before sending a kick to the big man's head sending him into the spacecraft, and snapping his neck in the process. He was dead.

"How did he do that, his power level is only five thousand," Urtan yelled out loud amazed at the speed and power of the young man that had just sent one of his friends into the ship causing it to become useless.

"Your friend is dead, and if you don't want the same thing to happen to you I suggest you heed my father request," Gohan said, his rage building.

"All right boys let's do this. For Bolsch!" Argaon said

"Right," Kann and Urtan said in unison.

"Urtan, you take the other human, Kann, the Namekain. I get Gohan." Now that they had their orders, the warriors shot forward toward their targets.

Piccolo and Kann took to the skies while Goku and Urtan remained on the ground.



"Last chance brother, join us and we spare you," Kann said with an evil grin.

"Hmph, think again hotshot. I took off your arm, maybe this time I should try for your head," Piccolo said with a grin. Before he could react, Kann sent a punch to his face sending him flying into a building.

"Ugh, damn. Shouldn't have gotten so cocky," Piccolo said as he stood up and dusted himself off. He then proceeded to remove his turban as well as his shoulder armor. Needless to say, the former Demon King was slightly perturbed. Piccolo jumped out of the building and began a barrage of fists and feet at his opponent. Kann kept up with him pretty well until Piccolo surprised him by turning a kick into an uppercut and sending the green warrior skyward. Piccolo phased up above him and sent both hands down connecting with the sternum of the other Namekian as he rose up to his level. Plummeting back to Earth, Kann coughed up a little of his purple blood. How was this piece of trash beating him. It's like he wasn't even trying. My scouter doesn't even register his power anywhere near mine. Oh no, he can mask his power, the others must be able to as well. The last thought Kann had was that he needed to let Argaon and Urtan know this bit of information he had just found out. He no sooner impacted the ground before he heard 'Masenko HAAAA'. And that was the last thing he heard

DBSS

"Ugh, I can't just sit here, I'm going to go see if I can help," Videl said as she stood up.

"No sweety, stay here where it's safe. I'm sure Gohan is all right, and he said he would come and get you when it was safe," Hercule pleaded with his daughter.

"I don't care, I don't just want to wait around to find out he died again. I'm sorry daddy, I have to go." With that Videl flew out the door, figuratively, and then flew, literally, to the center of Satan City.

DBSS

Urtan was getting his butt handed to him. These humans were far stronger than their scouters were reading. This one's power was not even one hundredth the amount that Urtan himself held, and he was maxed out as it was. The spiky haired human he now knew was Goku, continued to pummel him. Amidst the barrage, Urtan finally spotted a weakness in the human's defense and sent a punch right to his gut doubling him over, then an uppercut sending him skyward. Urtan phased to where the human was heading and kicked him hard in the chest sending him horizontally toward a building. Goku recovered a mere second before impact and decided he needed to end this now. Charging up his Super Saiyan form Goku lunged at the red skinned warrior and planted his elbow into his face.

"How did you change your hair," Urtan asked holding his face.

"I'm a Saiyan, this is called a Super Saiyan transformation.

Oh no, a Saiyan did he say. Before their downfall they were feared warriors, how can I compare to this man, this Saiyan. Wait, he is still weaker than me, I should be able to beat him. Summoning up all his courage Urtan launched an all out assault on the now gold hair warrior. Punches, kicks and everything in between. After knocking him to the ground with a head but he summoned all his energy into one last devastating attack firing it at Goku. Goku standing in his own crater had decided this was enough. As dark green energy beam came down to Goku, he slapped it away and charged up his own attack.

"I'm sorry it had to come to this. DRAGON FIST!" Goku lunged up at the red skinned warrior who was instantly vaporized by the attack. Now all that was left was Gohan to finish this off.

DBSS



Videl hovered high above the city, watching the fight down below. Goku and Piccolo had both make short work of their attackers, but Gohan was still fighting. She watched and waited hoping he wouldn't die against this thing. Though she realized that since the fight had started Gohan had not once been hit.

DBSS

All of his men were now dead. His only escape would be the pods inside of his ship. He would not be able to reach them without a distraction. His momentary lack of concentration cost him. Gohan had planted a fist right to his abdomen. Doubling over, Aragon coughed up blood.

"Damn you. What are you, you can't be human?"
"I am a Saiyan, and your time has come. You will no longer harm innocent li-," caught off guard, Gohan had been hit the first time since the battle started. It was a punch right to the chest that sent him stumbling back a little bit.

"A Saiyan huh, that would explain the strength and power. No matter, you are no match for my most powerful attack. PHANTOM DESTROYER!" The yellow, horn haired man brought his arms behind his head then launched them forward sending a black energy wave at a recovering Gohan. The explosion was massive

DBSS

Videl looked on as Gohan stumble back, then watched as the yellow man sent a powerful energy attack at her fiancée. When it hit she shouted "GOHAN!" That was all Argaon needed to hear, he now had his distraction. But it also looked like he would not need it. He had just destroyed the most powerful one of the bunch.

DBSS

The smoke began to clear and revealed nothing where mighty Gohan once stood.

"Heh heh heh heh heh. Not so tough after all."

"What do you mean, I'm right here," Gohan said with a sly grin. The yellow warrior glanced to his right where he heard the voice of Gohan come from, but instead of the man with short spiky hair, there stood a man with long golden hair.

"What the… how did you do that?" Taking a power reading, Argaon now realized he was far outclasses compared to this Saiyan called Gohan. He had to make his escape now.

"Well you have fought well my boy, but I am afraid you will lose something today," Argaon said with a smile. He eyes glanced upward toward Videl. Gohans followed and landed on his fiancée. His heart stopped at that very moment.

"HAA-AHHHHHH," Argaon shot a bright red blast straight at Videl. The girls death would give him time to escape. He wasn't sure why, but he felt the need to watch her perish.

DBSS

Videl watch in horror as the beam headed straight for her. Time slowed as she looked to see the face of fear Gohan had on, but before it had time to register, someone was in front of her.

"Don't you ever attack Videl!" It was Gohan, she couldn't believe it. He was so fast. Gohan watched as Argaon ran into his ship.

"For that cowardice you will die. KAMEHAMEHAAAAAAA!" Gohan launched a full power wave at the ship obliterating it. The last thought that went through Argaons mind was "This one looks go-."

DBSS

The large blue man sat in his chambers meditating. He spent a lot of his time doing this recently. He had recently found out that the planet Earth housed a being by the name of Gohan. He sent some of his weaker henchmen to Earth in hopes that they would find out if this was the very same Gohan that defeated his brother. There suddenly came a knock to his door.

"Come in," the large blue man beckoned. The door opened to reveal a squat frog looking creature dressed in some robes.

"Master Teralos (A/N Pronunciation: TEIR-EH-LOW-SSSS) we have just received word that the ship you sent to the planet Earth has been completely destroyed," the frog said sounding scared.

"Well that is very good news," the happiness obvious in his voice. His face was not able to be seen in the dark room.

"I'm sorry sir??"

"It IS good news. It would seem that this planet Earth houses the one who destroyed my brother," Teralos said sounding happy.

"Well in that case, should I set course for the planet?"

"No, I have seen my destiny. It does not bring me to that planet for another 5 years. We will proceed as we have been."

"Yes my Lord."

DBSS

"Videl are you sure all right?" Gohan said extremely worried. He hadn't let go of Videl since he powered down almost five minutes ago

"Yes Gohan I'm fine, see not a scratch," she said backing away holding up her arms. They were back on the ground now.

"Videl why didn't you listen to me? Why didn't you stay at your dads. You could've gotten hurt here, and if that happened I would never forgive myself." Gohan spoke soft yet there was a little anger in his voice.

"Gohan I couldn't just wait there for you, I was worried. I didn't want to have to experience that feeling of losing you all over again," Videl was not starting to tear up.

"Videl what about the baby, why didn't you think of that?" Videl looked at Gohan in horror. What had she done. She just put her child at risk, what kind of a mother would do that.

"Gohan I'm so sorry. That was so stupid what if, what if," Videl couldn't finish the rest of the sentence because she broke down into Gohans chest crying.

"Videl it's all right, nothing happened, and I would never let anything happen to you or the baby." This calmed Videl down some. The thought of Gohan protecting her always made her feel safe deep down inside. It was a wonderful feeling knowing he would always be there for her.

Videl released her grip on Gohan's shirt, and looked into those jet black eyes and smiled.

"Gohan I'm sorry I broke my promise."

"Ahh, it's ok, now we are even." Videl let out a little laugh at this.

Piccolo looked skyward as he felt a power approaching. It was Vegeta, along with Bulma in his arms. They touched down amidst the others.

"Looks like I missed a pretty good party Kakarott," Vegeta said with a smile.

"Yeah, what the hell happened here?" Bulma asked.

"Oh you know same old same old. Group of aliens tried to take over the planet," Goku said simply.

"You always miss the good fights don't you Vegeta," Piccolo joked.

"Shut up green bean," Vegeta shot back.



All of a sudden there was a loud snap sound from up in the sky.

"What the hell was that?" Vegeta exclaimed glancing skyward.

"I don't know…wait, is that a ship?" Bulma asked. And sure enough, a tiny ship could be seen lowering itself down to the street below.

"Who do you think that is Kakarott?" Vegeta asked, the curiosity obvious in his voice.

"I don't know, but I think it may be friendly," Goku said with a smile.

"That thing looks very familiar," Bulma said as she squinted in the mid-afternoon sun. The tiny ship opened up and out hopped a young man. He had ear length lavender hair, and wore a Capsule Corp jacket.
"TRUNKS!" Bulma shouted as she ran at the future version of her son. "What are you doing here?"

Bulma asked taking him into a hug. "Wow you sure have grown up a lot since you returned to your own time.
"Well having kids does that to you," Trunks said.

"I'm a grandma in the future now?"

"Well in my future. Remember, I have a different timeline," Trunks said as he used his hand to gesture a move in the other direction.

"Oh right," Bulma sounded a little disappointed.

"Well I don't suppose you brought the lucky girl back for us to meet," Bulma asked hopefully.

"Yea actually I did. You told me to. I mean the future you," Trunks said trying not to confuse his other mom. Trunks looked back at the time machine and noticed the other occupant hadn't moved yet.

"Hey come on out hunny," Trunks requested of his wife. She stood up and stepped out of the time machine. She was thin, with lower shoulder blade length blonde hair. She had a thin face, with bright blue eyes.

"What the…" Vegeta exclaimed. Then out of nowhere he shot out at the woman standing next to Trunks and picked her up by the scruff of her neck.

"What is the meaning of thi-," was all Vegeta could get out before her was hit hard in the face by his son and sent flying a few feet away. His wife fell back to the ground on her feet.

"Are you all right Eighteen?"

"Yeah, I half expected he would do that, I did kill him in the future after all," she said as she smiled at her husband.

"I'm sorry," Trunks said as grabbed his wife's hand.

"It's alright," Eighteen said as she leaned in and kissed him on the lips.

"Argg, I forgot how strong you were. I think you got faster," Vegeta said to his son as he got up holding his jaw. "Now an explanation would be nice if you don't mind."

"Yeah Trunks, last time you were back, I thought you hated her," Gohan said to his old friend.

"I'm sure there is a fantastic explanation." Piccolo who had stayed quiet now spoke up. He knew there was a reason Trunks was here, and he was trying to figure out why. Last time it was to alert us. Odds were high that was the case again today. Great, another chaotic battle for Earth, can't wait, Piccolo thought.

"Come on Trunks out with it. How did you hook up with such a pretty android who used to be your worst enemy?" Goku asked, his childlike demeanor very present right now.

I really have to warm them, but I suppose I should get them to trust her first. "Okay, but it is kind of a long story"

"Just get on with it boy, I would like to go home and ice this mark you felt the need to place on my face," Vegeta spat, still holding his face.

"Ohh my poor baby, want me to kiss it," Bulma said sarcastically.

"Gohan who is that," Videl whispered to her fiancée.



"Oh, well that is Trunks, Bulma's son. You remember you've met him. Well this is actually him from the future, a future where these two very deadly androids destroy most of the Earth and its populace. My dad, Vegeta, Piccolo, and myself are just a few of the casualties."

"But why is he with Krillin's wife?"

"In his timeline, Krillin is dead, and to be honest I can't answer the rest," Gohan said truthfully.

"I can though Gohan," Trunks said with a smile. Gohan should have known, Saiyan hearing was very good.

"So on with my story."

A/N Well there you have it, I think that makes 3 updates in 3 or 4 days, not exactly sure. I must now make a request. To any who read my story i would like to ask that you be so kind as to submit a review. It would be greatly appreciated. At first, I didn't think a lack of reviews would bother me, but the simple truth is it does. I must give a nod to "Shiva the Sarcastic" as well as "the killer00". Thanks for always reviewing. If you really don't want to review guys that's fine, but I enjoy reading what you people think. Okay thats it. Anyway. The next chapter will likely take place in the future explaining this odd pairing. I'll be honest I have 4 ideas as to how I want to do this, so it may be around a week before the next chapter gets out. I want to make the best possible story in dealing with these two, so I am going to take my time. If they become unbelievable, then it may affect the rest of the story. There is a small possibility that I will come back and add the story to this chapter, but if I can make the future chapter long enough than it will be it's own chapter. So until then, happy reading.
