I would like to publically thank Chaos267 for taking the time to review. While I won't ever beg for reviews, I will say that whoever reviews does usually get a sneak preview to where the story will be going next. And to be frank this is the last chapter that I have pre-planned, so updates may be a little slow because of schooling that I'm being subjected to *sigh*.Thanks and happy readings!

Chapter 2- The New Arrivals
And before long in front of the class stood three very odd looking "people". On the far right of the trio stood a male figure of someone who looked to have spent the majority of his life in the sun. His skin was a deep orange almost a caramel brown, his hair shown a bright golden hue that could rival who any ssj3's color, and it was a mass of spikes and curls aside from a few braided and beaded strands. His eyes were at a tilted slant that carried a deep crimson hue to kind irises. He was obviously someone who kept active, his tall lean frame [that was just short of the other male in the group] had no fat upon it, exuded an air of confidence that some might take as arrogance. He wore something akin to the uniform of the Celtic warriors of old, that showed a plenty fold of tattoos and tribal markings that he wore with pride. The girls in the class had immediately perked up upon his entrance and had not stopped giggling amongst themselves, especially Erasa. His white shirt was lose and the neck line plunged and showed his pectorals, his cape was a green and black plaid that fell easily off his broad shoulders. Where his trousers started was a mystery as the last few inches of his shirt and first few inches of his pants were covered by a sash that also held up a patch of cloth that contained his clan's symbol and three claws from some unknown creature. His hunting boots were calve high and made of deer skin as were his arm bracers.
In the middle stood a short tomboy who despite appearance Gohan could tell that she was a fully developed woman. She looked to be at most 12 years old at the height of 4'8", and would be described as a pixie. She held her long fire red locks of curls in a severely plaited rope that despite her efforts was escaping its confides and wisping about at that very moment. Her eyes where a startling mix of jade green and azure blue with a silted pupil; Her skin was so pale that appeared translucent, it was giving off a slight glow in the direct light as well, which contrasted sharply with the golden freckles that sprinkled not only her face but her entire tiny body it seemed. She carried an impish look about her, and she seemed to spell trouble for all who crossed her. She was clothed in the attire of a young boy living in Earth-sai's middle ages, or more like that of a yeoman's; her leggings were made of some sort of material that seemed as tough as leather yet as supple and stretching as spandex. The shirt looked to be plain cotton; the hunting jerkin she sported was definitely made of the same material as her pants. And to top off the whole ensemble she wore forest boots, wrist bands, a belt for her pants, and a harness for other weapons all made of the same mysterious material. All in all it looked to Gohan like she was from an ancient race or beings that were well known for their fighters, hunters, and the fact that men and women shared an equal statist, to them your worth was based on your skill. The women always whore strict bindings in public from puberty to the time they have found a proper mate, for it was rumored that to see an unbound Arytiaen [Arryytee-iee-an] woman was to see a goddess herself upon the mortal plan. The Arytiaen people were powerful and proud; they were also once, a very long time ago, allies of the Sayians, along with their cousins the Naaigitia [Nah-aee-gee-teeah], who he figured that the first male was from.
The third and final new student stood off from the others, he wore his people's traditional clothes, he obviously had only just entered his teen years despite his almost 7' tall frame. He was the most foreign looking and it was obvious that for the duration of his stay he would be a loner, for he was a Namekian. "Class I would like to introduce you to some new classmates of yours, they will be staying here on Earth experience it and all her wonders. Now I know that some of them look quite different from what you're used to seeing," this was obviously directed to the Namek as the teacher had been inching away from him since he had first come into the room, "I ask that you be kind to all of them and you put Earths best foot forward. This year due to some miraculous occurrence and the need to understand other cultures and species, we will have some Extraterrestrial exchange students coming here and to other schools throughout the year. Now if you weren't aware before two years ago scientists who were working in conjunction with CC and NASA stumbled upon intelligent life forms not far from Earth in a quadrant we had never looked in before,…" at this several of the not so smart students gasped while the Arytiaen and Naaigitia just laughed and the Namek stared on impassively**Gohan had seen him quickly roll his eyes and herd him snort under his breath, the two others had also seen and heard this by the indication of their increased laughter** "… and ever since then Earths' officials have been working towards friendly communications, and learning more about space and what to look out for so feel free to ask your new classmates anything, for you my lucky students are living in a time unlike anything history has seen before! Mr. Yahamari finished with an excited gleam in his eye, completely unaware of how the three aliens were now glaring at him for adding on to the already enormous lists of questions that they would have to face. While Gohan unable to resist snorted rather loudly at the ridiculousness of the history teacher and the moronic looks of amazement and awe on the idiot Earthlings.
Videl once captivated by the rare speech given this teacher that was actually good and didn't send her into lala land [also trying not to give into her urges to guts jump Gohan and kiss him there and then] and by all the secrets of the new students represented quickly came back to herself at unacknowledged crushes' snort. "And Just What In The Hell Are You Snorting About Gohan!? I thought this type of thing would be right up your ally!" **In her shock she kinda over does it and will come off bitchy for a lot of her scenes so please forgive her for the many mood swings ahead! :( Thank You! ;)**
"Yeah Nerd-Boy this has geek written all over it!" came Sharpeners' ever so intelligent response.
Mr. Yahamari finally getting over his shock at his star students display of disrespect said, "Indeed Mr. Son would you like to explain your reasoning behind your rudeness to the rest of the class?"
"No" came Gohan's' brutal yet honest and immediate answer.
"Let me rephrase that Son you will explain your horrible actions now!"
"Nah. Don't feel like it." was all that could be heard coming from Gohan's stoic face. While internally he thought, 'well I've already dug myself into a hole and they did say I had to play nice until the other aliens arrived, and they have indeed started Orange Star High so I really don't need to keep this fucking façade up any longer. Might as well have some fun with these weaklings! **Cue: Internal Evil Grin**'
Most of the class had come out of their stupors by now and were gasping at Gohan's attitude, who would ever thought that Orange Star's biggest "Nerd" and resident Genius [and in their view teacher's pet] could talk so disrespectfully to a teacher!
"Mr. Son what is the meaning of this!? First your late for class the third time this week may I add! Then you openly disrespect me and your peers, and to top that off you are being a horrible example of both your species and Planet Earth to our guests!"
Turning around quickly Mr. Yahamari tried to assure the group of non-Earthlings "Not all humans are like that; in fact Gohan usually tends to be one of my better behaved students. I really don't know what's gotten into that boy! Maybe he is just nervous to be faced with something so new." He whispered frantically to them, thinking that no one could hear him. ** But we all know that our favorite Sayian could. ** Only to be met with laughs of the two "normal" looking aliens as the Namek remained impassive as he had heard Gohan mutter "No, I'm actually being rather nice compared to the rest of my Species, stupid Human!" and Renlon [The Namek] started to put all the clues together that this was their contact who would help them navigate human society, just remained respectfully silent.
"Don't worry we have faced worst attitudes before, I mean have you ever had to deal with a Sayian before? Even one in a good mood?" the red haired pixie asked flippantly.
"Sayian?" was the only intelligible response given by Mr. Yahamari who was shocked that the alien girl could speak Japanese so well. And suddenly the entire class was even more focused in on the conversation, having stopped their gossiping about Gohan's actions, in the front of the class room. Even Gohan's ears perked up to hear what they would have to say about his people, yet for all you looked at his face it remained as impassive as it was when he first came in that day.**CoughVidelCough**
"Well First before I explain shouldn't we continue introductions my feet are getting rather tired from standing for so long." Was all that could be heard from the Naaigitia.
"Why of course! My apologies please state Your Name, Age, Race, Planet, something about yourselves, and your planet."
After looking at each other Renlon voiced "Ladies First." His deep voice resonating throughout the small classroom, to the startlement of his new peers.
The Arytiaen just rolled her eyes and spoke with her melodic voice "Hello I'm Natasha, I'm 18 by your years, I'm from planet Aryton, and I'm an Arytiaen, I enjoy fishing and hunting, sometimes with my siblings, on my planet men and women have always been equal in status." The class gasped that she wasn't younger; Gohan internally congratulated himself on guessing right.
Then Renlon and the Naaigitia looked at each other and simultaneously agreed for the Naaigitia to go first. "Yo! I'm Mitosuke, I'm 20 in Earth years, I come from Naaigi, my people are known as the Naaigitia, we are cousins to the people of Aryton, and I like to help out with my family's Blacksmithing business that we have run for over three hundred years." His baritone voice held traces of mischievousness in it, a telling sign of a prankster. Most of the females sighed at the sound of his voice and gained dreamy looks within their eyes. Erasa was the worst of them.
With no preamble the last stepped forward and said "Renlon is my name, I'm 15 in your system of counting, and I am a Namekian from New Namek. I help my people's elder's plant and grow the forests of our new home. My people are asexual and thus are neither male nor female." His deep voice yet again rang throughout the room, his statement breaking the girls out of their reverie and shocking many.
"W-w-Well thank you for that r-Renlon, Natasha, and Mitosuke. You may have a seat right in where ever you like." Stammered Mr. Yahamari
Coincidently there was a seat right next to Gohan open and two on the other side of Sharpener. Erasa the ever friendly one quickly waved them over.
"Yoo-hoo over here guys…", as they approached they all fealty a similar feeling that fate was interfering again pushing them toward the muscle head, bubbly blond, inquisitive coffee haired girl, and grouchy Gohan, "Well Natasha You can sit in the chair farthest from Sharpener-he's a bit grabby if you know what I mean- and Mitosuke I'm sure you won't mind sitting next to Sharpener he won't hurt you, And Renlon Gohan is a nice guy normally so why don't you get to know him." The three were so shocked to be ordered around by a seemingly ditzy blond that they couldn't help but follow her Drill Sargent like orders.
Mr. Yahamari having regained his composure said much to the chagrin of the aliens, "Well I know how curious you all would be with our new arrivals so I planned out our time to have a Q and A all-around that will include going back and forth between our new friends and us, where they will ask us any question that they wish to know and then we will do the same. They will start first."
This statement was met with much excitement from the class and some trepidation from all of the non-humans in the room. Natasha spoke first "well um uh, Humm well, ah! Are there really dragons on this planet?"
"There have been many rumors but if anyone has really seen them they have not come forward to tell the public." Was the only thing that Mr. Yahamari could say on the subject, however before he could ask the question that had been put on hold earlier he was interrupted.
"Yes they exist, you have to go far out into the country to find them because they are very shy around humans but it you help one then the rest will always help and trust you, heak if the deed is great enough you could even become a rider." Gohan said rather matter of factly.
"Mr. Son please stop telling lies there is no such thing as dragons we all know this, I just didn't want to hurt this poor child's feelings." As Natasha's eyes started to fill with tears of outrage at the thought of being thought of as a child; Gohan swiftly spoke.
"No Sir you don't understand, I'm the one who has spent my whole life exploring the wild, and l grew up in the country so I've seen them, and they are very much real. So why don't you ask someone who actually knows something about the world before you start to spout lies. And if you don't believe mw then go ask Ms. Konoko about them." Gohan finished with a note of finality that no one could disagree with.
"I will Mr. Son, and then when you are proven wrong you will be facing a months' worth of detentions for your impertinence." Mr. Yahamari said his voice practically dripping venom or as he thought when in reality he was just squeaking. Storming out, he missed Natasha's quiet "thank you" and Gohan's nonchalant nod in return.
A few uncomfortable moments later a red faced Mr. Yahamari entered with a young pretty Ms. Konoko the science teacher that had a free period and decided to stay to protect the students from the bigoted idiot that they had for a history teacher. Everyone knew that the old geezer Mr. Yahamari had a crush on the new science teacher who was young enough to be his daughter, and that she despised him.
"You will still be receiving detention Mr. Son." He said sourly
"I don't think so Yahamari-san he only got defensive after you insulted both of them, and ha is right dragons do exist in the wild dear." Ms. Konoko said to Natasha, who nodded in acceptance.
Yahamari huffed and asked impatiently "What Is a Sayiaing or whatever they are called?"
"SAYIANS are the most bloodthirsty, brutal, barbaric in their customs, yet they are one of the most powerful races to ever exist in the universe, some are even stronger than the kais." Was the answer Mitosuke gave.
Gasps and strangled screams were all that could be heard in the swiftly silencing room. "What! Surely you jest. How could such a race of beings exist?" Yahamari shrieked.
"Oh it gets worse. But first, what do you do for fun here on Earth?" Mitosuke queried.
"WORSE! Fun! How can you think of fun after reviling that?" Yahamari exclaimed.
"Well you did say that we would take turns with the questions." Mitosuke said slightly confused.
"Yahamari-san! You should know better to keep your word!" Ms. Konoko chastised a now guilty Yahamari. "We have a number of divides and activities that we use to de-stress and entertain ourselves, It depends on your interests, and hobbies, to tell what you will use, but I'm sure that we will find something for you." She said kindly to Mitosuke, he nodded in acceptance.
Natasha spoke up, "In response to earlier yes it does get worse. You see that is only if your race is lucky enough to be allies with the Sayians." The faces of the class paled dramatically at the thought; while you could hear a faint amused chuckle from the back of the classroom that most dismissed as a figment of their imaginations but Videl having heard it come from Gohan's direction so she stored it away to investigate latter. Seeing that they won't be able to really focus on their questions Natasha took pity on them and continued to elaborate, "Well Sayians kinda have the reputation similar to that of your 'boogieman' except that they actually exist. They thrive of pain, war, battles, fighting, and death. The phrase 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger' is taken literally with Sayians. Their strength and power doubles whenever they survive near death experiences, especially those from a fight. Parents form around the universe use them to scare children into behaving and doing what they are told. And remember they truly do exist." By that time over half the class looked as if they were going to lose their breakfast.
"What! You are kidding! Nothing can be that horrible!" Yahamari said trembling. This time Renlon answered, startled students and two teachers jumped when they heard his deep voice reverberate throughout the room once again; it took them all some time to process the words he spoke, "No they speak the truth. Every word of it. Up until a few years ago back when the Cold Empire still ruled most of the universe, It was universally accepted that the Sayian race was extinct, with the exception of the few that survived to serve the Empire, destroyed along with their planet in a sudden meteor shower. After the Sayians were gone the Cold Empire grew and continued to destroy any thing in their path. Then one day 12 years ago the Scion of the Empire landed on Namek and started demanding that we handed over an ancient and powerful set of artifacts that dated back to our Great War, when we didn't comply he killed each and every one of us." He was interrupted with jumbled and garbled words and that to yell over it all, "Silence! I will explain, the artifacts had the power to grant any three wishes within the creator of the artifacts power, with the help of a mysterious group of warriors, and one in particular was able to kill the Empire's leaders, causing a good majority of the Empire to collapse into itself, saving us all. The warriors turned out to be a group of protectors that inhabit Earth The Z-Gang or Z-Warriors, they are the Guardian of Earth's Champions, and in their midst are several of the Legendary Super Sayians or The Ascended Ones. They were kind enough to save one Namekian child and used the artifacts to transport every one but their strongest warrior and Frieza[the Cold Scion] to earth, where they revived all of us and were kind enough to offer us a place to stay until they could find a new planet. Then a few months ago The Sayians and their planet suddenly appeared and they eradicated each and every branch left of the Empire." Renlon finished, the Arytiaen and Naaigitia looked at him in shock that a Sayian let alone multiple would be willing to help any other race, let alone willingly give their lives to protect a planet not their own.
"What do you mean 'The New Sayian Empire'?" asked Videl the only non-comatose student.
This time Natasha replied, "The Sayians as he said were recentily discovered to have been in hiding for the last few decades, they said that they used a new type of cloaking device to shroud their planets system in darkness on the outside; Officially speaking mind you, their reason was that they hid was that they were sick of being used as Murders for Higher; unofficially they were rumored to have found a way different from the Namekian Artifacts to come back from the dead and that they destroyed the remains of the Empire because they wanted revenge for the Empire using them and the Colds being the ones responsible for the death of their race and planet. Of course this is all unofficial due to no one really wanting to go there, because let's face it even to their allies they are scary enough as is."
Her statement was met with much confusion from the bewildered students. That is until Videl spoke as if she had just come upon epiphany, "Of Course! What's worse than an Untouchable Warriors?" at the blank looks she received from her 'Peers' she continued, "An ENTIRE Race Of Them! Warriors that don't die! Or stay dead for long and come back for vengeance!" Shudders at that very thought went through the room even the aliens were yet again horrified to think of such a possibility, yet if you looked close enough Gohan remained as impassive as ever. In fact now that she thought of it Gohan hadn't been affected by anything they had heard that day besides the odd chuckle here and there, Videl again noted this all down mentally to ponder latter.
"Now, I think that our Questions have waited long enough, you all owe us three questions. Renlon I believe that it is your turn." Mitosuke stated with authority.
"Thank you Mito-san." Renlon then turned to Gohan, "Gohan was it?" at his nod Renlon continued, "Tell me Do you mayhap go by Kazuma on the odd occasion?" At that both Natasha's and Mitosuke's eyebrows rose as the put the facts together. The rest of the class's however furrowed in confusion at his question. Videl's in particular were accompanied by a fierce scowl. Gohan just smirked evilly having been expecting this for quite some time. He then replied…
{-}
AN: Ok guys thanks for sticking through, again I'm sorry for all the explanations, but you have to remember with Natasha and Mitosuke I had to come up with not only names and descriptions and backs stories for them, but also their people, and it's hard to try to describe them to you the way I see them, as opposed to Renlon who you already know his race from the original so you can easily picture him. Also I apologize for the heavy use of words that might be unknown to you but all in all it's for your own good, I'm expanding your vocabulary. And I know that I'm also hard to fallow at times, Hell I can barely keep up with my brain, and even if I can keep up I don't understand it half the time to beguine with.
