Flying through Satan City
Damn you Gold Fighter. Thought Videl. My life would be easier if you didn't show up.
"Would it?" The other half thought. "He did save you along with over a dozen others when the man showed up in the mall."
Well we don't know if I-
"Yes we do." The other side thought. "You're not stupid, you know he had more than enough explosives to kill you as well."
Shut up. Videl thought, forcing the other half into silence.
Looking out her passenger window she saw the golden bastard casually flying through the air. He noticed Videl looking at him. Looking at her, he gave Videl a wink before blasting off over fifty times faster than her jet copters max speed. One second he was there, the next he was gone from sight, leaving a gaping Videl alone.
How the hell- A stunned Videl processed what she had just witnessed. He just vanished! This jet copter is the latest model and yet he can fly that much faster?!
Infuriated that she has been shown up by the Gold Fighter, again, she floored the jet copter and soon arrived at general area the high speed pursuit was taking place in. She saw the Gold Fighter floating with his legs crossed in the air as he watched the chase go on. As it moved so did he, with his legs crossed. Show off.
Flying down Videl followed the cars closely. As she pulled up closer to the vehicle being pursued, a man leaned out one back window, putting suppressing fire on the police that were close behind while another man leaned out the other window, putting gunfire on Videl's jet copter. Of course being back up for the police force, it was equipped with bullet proof armor and windows. She was perfectly safe, even if they tried shooting out the engine some how.
She followed them for a few minutes, learning some of their strategy. Clearly they plan on staying inside rural and populated areas as much as possible, both to have as many alternative routes as well as prevent the police from returning fire in risk of hitting civilians. She processed. But since the police squad cars can't seem to catch up to do anything, and they keep dodging roads with traps set up, I'll have to do something myself. She developed a plan, one that would force her to go in low, with the danger of exposing the jet copters weak spot, the engine intake. Should a bullet fly into there it would destroy the not just the intake fans but would cause an ignition in the engine, potentially killing Videl if there was a crash. Oh well, go big or go home right?
Working her way forward slowly, to not cause too much disruption and preventing the length of her jet copters weak spot being exposed, she got close to the car. When she was five meters away, she gunned it. Flying forward she rammed the right landing rail of the jet copter into the left rear panel of the car, spinning it out of control just as they entered a T-intersection. The car flew into a wooden telephone pole in a t-bone style, obviously killing the man firing at the police on impact as well as potentially killing the person in the passenger seat.
Videl on the other hand, was moving at too great a speed as she flew into the T-intersection. She saw this as she flew, the second she realised it she threw the top half of her body into the passenger seat, quickly wrapping the seat belt around both biceps and held on for dear life, waiting for the impact.
She waited. Waited. Waited. Is it not going to happen or has my life just slowed down to reflect on it? Opening her eyes she peeked over the edge of the dash of the jet copter, still clutching the seat belt for her life.
There, the Gold Fighter floated, one arm extended, with his hand against the jet copter, effectively stopping the machine in its tracks. His hand was embedded one foot into the front of the jet copter, crushing the engine. Slowly he set it on the ground as a Videl, who nearly shit her pants, stared at him with mouth open. Gohan couldn't help but smirk and give her a wink which made her feel like her stomach gave a little jump.
That snapped Videl out of her trance. She cranked open her door and jumped out of the jet copter before running to the front to inspect the damage done. It was pointless. It was totalled. Dead. Never rising.
She grabbed her forehead before turning to face the Gold Fighter. "What the hell!" She shouted. "I appreciate you saving my life but couldn't you have done it in some other way that didn't involve destroying my jet copter?!"
"Yes." The Gold Fighter said, not blinking, just staring at her with his grin still plastered on his face as his blond eyebrows still had the form of a glare.
"Then why didn't you do that?!" She demanded an answer.
"Because you were too close to the house when I realized you wouldn't be able to stop yourself before running into the house. I wouldn't have been able to stop you with out damaging either the house or the jet copter." He explained. "So I did the option that would've mattered less. That family isn't rich like you are, Videl Satan." He said, emphasizing the name Satan, not in a hateful way though, more so a teasing manner.
All she could do was stand there with her mouth open glaring at him as she processed his logic. Damn, he came up with that solution really fast. As she thought more about it her gaze softened, clearly not forgiving of what he did but remained frustrated as well. How the hell am I supposed to get to school now? No way is the butler driving me, I promised myself that would never happen again!
"Besides, you can buy yourself a new jet copter or the department will cover the expenses since you received that damage in the line of duty."She thought about it with her eyebrows crunched together, deep in thought. Cute. Gohan thought.
"Although that does make me feel better, I'm still not happy about losing my transportation." She grumbled.
"That's somewhat understandable, although the jet copter is a piece of shit if I may say so myself."
Gasping Videl whipped her head around at him. "You may NOT say so yourself!" She exclaimed. "The great Bulma Briefs designed the jet copter herself!"
"It's slow. I'm much faster as you already know." He said, grinning since he knew he was right.
"You intolerable, insufferable, stupid, arrogant little-" Videl said, advancing on the Gold Fighter with a glare incredibly similar to Chichi's famous glare, although not nearly as effective but enough to strike a sliver of fear into Gohans soul.
Backing up, he spun to leap into the air as Videl jumped on his back with a roar, punching and hitting him. Although after five or so hits she pulled her hands off of him. This son of a bitch is a titanium wall! He's tough as hell! She thought as she rubbed her hands, feeling better as though she defended her idol's dignity, as well as finally letting out some built up steam with her frustration at school with Gohan and his secrets.
"Well that was unexpected." The Gold Fighter stated as got up, brushing off his clothes. "What was that for?" He asked, rubbing the back of his neck.
Videl froze at the sight of that gesture. It's so...familiar... "What is your real name, Gold Fighter?" She asked. "I know you from somewhere don't I?"
"No you don't." Gohan said.
"Yes I do."
"Nope."
"Yea, but never mind since obviously you won't say anything just like-" Videl said before stopping herself. ...Just like Gohan.
"Well? You got something to say or what?" Gohan said, acting impatient. He really didn't like to hang around for the reporters and the police although the police were already there.
Gohan. But, can it be? It can't! He's too...nerdy for this. Videl thought. "Uh yea, well um, you see, uh..." Videl stuttered as she thought for an excuse. "Right! Lets go!" She said waving the Gold Fighter over.
"Huh?" Gohan looked at her. "Go where?"
"To get my dad dumbass." Videl said. "Remember? You said you'd tell me this secret of yours as long as my dad was there to hear it."
"You are forgetting my other condition-" Gohan started.
"Your other condition was for when I needed your help next." Videl started walking away. "And as much as I hate to admit it, I had needed your help just now. Now lets go!" She said waving him over again.
"Not so fast." Gohan said. "You misinterpreted my condition and my actions. My condition was to help you in the line of duty. My actions served as helping the people who own that home. They clearly could not afford the repairs that would've been needed to fix their home."
"What?" Videl said, fury once again building up in her. "You are cheating me of this secret once again?!"
"Not cheating. Just correcting the misinterpretation of my conditions." Gohan corrected, clearly not sensing the rising anger in the smaller frame right in front of him.
"You son of a bitch!" She shouted, slamming herself into the unsuspecting frame of Gohan, only to make him lose balance and take a step back to regain his balance before falling back herself.
"Again?" A confused Gohan mumbled as he reached a hand down to help Videl up.
Slapping the hand away, Videl got herself up, brushing herself off. Gah! I've got to stop doing that! My shoulder feels like it was hit twenty times with an iron pole! She thought as she grasped her shoulder.
"Are you ok?" Gohan asked, putting his hand on her opposite shoulder.
Shrugging it off, Videl turned away. "I'll be waiting to hear this secret of yours."
"I'm waiting for you to hear it." He returned. And for your father to admit it.
At the Son household
Gohan flew towards his house, just minutes away. Tuning out, he closed his and listened to the forest below. He listened to the birds singing and chirping, the young animals running alongside their parents. The animals eating and lightly sleeping. Ah. What a perfect day.
"Gohan!" Screeched into his mind, causing him to stop and slap his hands over his ears. Looking around he saw the source down below. Chichi stood outside the house obviously screaming something, waving her hands in the air frantically. Noticing Gohan having his hands over his ears, Chichi stopped yelling for a second. Signalling with her own hands, she pulled them away from his ears, advising Gohan to do the same. With fear in his heart and knowing it would be better if he did so, he pulled them away slowly and floated down to the ground and landed in front of his mother.
"Oh Gohan, dear." Chichi began in a dangerously soft voice.
"Y-yes mo-mother?" Gohan stuttered nervously.
"Do you know what you've done?" Chichi said, the danger increasing and the soft voice evolving into a stern one.
"N-nooo..." Gohan said, almost certain she knew what he had done. She knows about me being the Gold Fighter!
Narrowing her eyes at him, Chichi whispered in a deadly tone, "You don't?"
"...no.." Gohan said, not convincing the intimidating smaller woman in front of him.
"You don't remember that you said you would take Goten out to play today?!" Chichi shouted. "He's been looking forward to it for a week since you said you'd take him to Satan City!"
"Satan City?" A voice said from inside. "I'm going to Satan City?"
Aww crap, I can't believe I forgot about that! Gohan scolded himself. "I'm sorry squirt!" He apologized to Goten. Turning to his mother he said, "I can still take him out today, if I go Super I can get us there in a minute and still have and hour to play before dinner."
"Well sounds like a plan!" Chichi said before turning away. "Oh and by the way..."
"Yes?"
A loud clang echoed around the home as Chichi pulled out her frying pan from her...sleeve? Did she really pull that out of her sleeve? Gohan thought as he desperately rubbed his head to massage the pain spiking over his skull. "Ow!"
"Don't you ever forget an arrangement you've made with your little brother!" Chichi said before walking back into the house.
Rising from the dust, Gohan looked at his younger brother who stood there bouncing five feet up from the tips of his toes. "Are we gonna go Gohan? Huh? Are we? Are we?" He excitedly asked.
"Yes now hop on and hold on tight." Gohan said, going Super Saiyan.
"Woohoo!" Goten shouted and jumped on his brothers back. Then they both were gone, vanished into thin air.
A minute later and they landed in an alley next to a park in Satan City. While Gohan turned away and powered down, Goten instantly ran out in front of traffic straight for the park.
Sensing his brothers actions, Gohan turned around instantly and grabbed Goten by the back of his gi. "Don't be stupid Goten, remember what I told you. No showing your abilities, be very gentle. And no leaving my side. Got it?" Gohan drilled.
"Right Gohan!"
"Good. Now stay by my side!" Gohan said, as he wandered over to the stop light, waiting to cross the street. "Okay Goten, follow me." He said as he began to cross, his brother closs behind.
Reaching the other side they walked towards the playground in the centre of the park. There was a slide that twisted over and over again, monkey bars, a tire swing with a few normal swings nearby, a slide rail and a pole.
"Wheeeee!" Goten shouted as he took off for the playground. "Trunks is missing out! I bet Vegeta never takes him out to do this!"
No, I bet he doesn't. Gohan thought, trying to picture Vegeta at a place as public as a play ground.
In West City
"Vegeta! Take Trunks to the park!" A shout echoed through the hallways.
"The park? The hell is a park?" A gruff one shouted back.
"I'm going to a park?" A younger and more excited voice shouted. "Yayy!"
"Shut it brat, you're not going any where unless I say you can!"
"Vegeta! You take your son to a park or I'll starve you for a week!" Bulma shouted.
4 "You wouldn't dare." Vegeta said as he took the argument to their bond.
"I wouldn't? Well then, consider it done." Bulma said.
"What, why you bitch!"
"Now, thats not helping your case at all. Two weeks you say? Alright, if you say so..."
"...What the hell is a park and where is the nearest one?"
Back in Satan City
Videl walked down the street with Erasa. Once again she had been drilling in her best friends mind that Gohan had to be the Gold Fighter. Gah, she's been on about this since we first got to the coffee shop! Erasa thought. They had been planing to just hang out a little bit since Videl didn't dare go to a chick flick or do shopping at the mall.
"I'm telling you Erasa! It has to be!"
"We've been over this Videl, the Gold Fighter has gold hair. Hence the title Gold Fighter." Erasa once again stated for what seemed the one hundredth time.
Nearing an open park they continued. "But I'm telling you Erasa! It has to be! There are so many similarities, they both rub the back of their head nervously, they are both built incredibly well and-"
"Wait a minute Videl." Erasa said.
"What?"
"Do you have a crush on either one of them?" Erasa questioned, the corner of her mouth twitching upwards.
"Wha-what? No!" Videl sputtered, cheeks feeling a bit red. "What made you suggest that?"
"Just the way you mentioned that both of them are incredibly well built. You stretched it out a bit and I think I could see the drool almost spill out of your mouth!"
"Absurd!" Videl shouted at her friend. "I do not like either one of them."
"And guess who's nearby Videl?" Erasa said giggling.
"Who?" Videl said, stopping and looking at her best friend with a tiring expression.
Pointing behind her friend, Erasa said, "Gohan! Hey Gohan!" She waved.
Gohan, hearing Erasa, turned away from Goten. Aw shit. "Hey guys!" He waved back.
"Come on Videl!" Erasa giggled as she half dragged her friend over to where Gohan was, watching Goten as he raced around the playground. "Hey Gohan, whatchu doing here?" She asked.
"I'm watching my little brother." Gohan said, jamming his thumb at the playground. "You'll know him when you see him."
Both Videl and Erasa surveyed the playground, looking for a kid who stood out. It took only a second as a kid with incredibly long and spiky hair ran past in an orange and blue gi.
"Awww! He's adorable!" Erasa said in her normal bubbly manner.
"So, he's into the arts is he Gohan?" Videl asked, more interested in the kids gi.
"Huh? Oh yea, we all are. You know, parents being martial artists and all." Gohan said.
"What symbol is that on his gi? Thats not any school I know of." Videl asked.
"It's not from a school. It's my dad's symbol." Gohan said, getting quieter than before.
"Oh yea? What belt was your dad anyway?" Videl asked, wanting to know Gohan's fathers skill level.
"Oh he was beyond what your dad could ever be." Gohan simply stated.
"What. Are you crazy or something?" Videl said. "In case you forgot, my dad's the world champ. Undefeated. Killed Cell."
"Or did he." Gohan mumbled under his breath.
"What did you say?" Videl challenged.
"Hey Goten, come here!" Gohan shouted, clearly ignoring the challenge. "I want you to meet some friends from school!"
The little boy scampered over to where the three teenagers were. Remembering the manners his mother had drilled into his head, he said, "Hi, I'm Goten. I'm seven years old." He introduced himself as he stuck out his hand, sticking the other behind his back.
"Aww, you are just too precious!" Erasa said grabbing him and hoisting him up. "I am Erasa and I am seventeen."
"Who's the mad girl?" He said, pointing at a scowling Videl.
"Hey! I'm not mad!" She said, scowling more.
"Gohan, is this your girlfriend?" Goten asked, causing Videl and Gohan to freeze and Erasa to nearly drop Goten from laughter.
Aww, double shit. This is not good.
A.N. Thought I'd describe this my story a bit more. This is NOT Japan. It may be a Japanese show but I don't care. This is an alternate universe so I see this as a different country. Just wanted to point that out. Anyway, not too big or small of a chapter. Just hope that I manage to keep up with my schedule!
