OK, let's get going. Story commence.

The crowd became deadly silent. On the ground lay the proclaimed second strongest teen in the world, felled by the schools biggest nerd.
Videl ran passed Gohan and knelt down beside Kem. She turned him over onto his stomach, when she heard him breathing she sighed and sat back on her heels. Seeing as how Gohan now wasn't worth any concern of her's, much to her surprise, she flipped out.
"What the hell, Gohan?!" she screamed, "What did you do?!"
"Knocked him out..." Gohan started, before getting punched in the stomach. He had anticipated that and dropped his ki so Videl wouldn't hurt herself.
"He didn't…"
"Do anything? I just went too far?" Gohan said, pretended to be hurt by the punch. "Oh please, you would have tried the same thing to Blue-eyes."
"You of all people should know it lacks honour to strike someone turning away." Mirai said distastefully.
Erasa decided to break up this conflict before it got worse.
"S-So, Gohan?" she started tentatively, he looked over at her, "How'd you dodge without opening your eyes?"
"Yeah, how did you?" Videl asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Anyone can do it." Gohan said, "Well…"
"Maybe not you guys." Lime picked up, "You've been deafened by the city."
"It takes practice in a very quiet environment, then increase to noise with every session." GL said, mimicking each other's actions unconsciously, Mirai just looked at them strangely.
[Low frequency, annoying beeping]
Gohan sighed gratefully at Videl's new rigged communicator, she answered it almost immediately.
"What is it Chief?" she asked.
"Videl?! Videl?! [BOOM!] GAH!" Everyone looked tensed up.
"You all right Chief?!" Videl asked frantically.
"Videl! It's those guys from the other day!" Chief yelled
"The ones with the KVM's?" Gohan asked, somewhat to himself. Videl's head snapped in his direction.
"What?!" she screamed, Gohan flinched slightly and Lime glared a bit.
"Nothing!" Lime snapped, surprising Videl, "Just speculating to himself"
"No time, Videl!" Chief said as another explosion was heard in the background, "Get down here now!"
"On my way!" Videl said, "I'll deal with you later." Gohan nodded nervously
nervously.
"Hmm, sounds dangerous." Lime mused, smirking. She turned to Gohan, "You can handle this by yourself."
Gohan huffed and turned to leave. "By the way," he called back to Erasa and Sharpener, "that guy will be waking up soon."
Gohan made his way to the roof, before activating the Mk V armour and flying towards a pillar of smoke in the distance.

Videl touched down a few blocks away, not wanting to be blown out of the sky.
She made it to the scene in no time. Wrecked cars were everywhere and giant chunks of road were blown out. The police were taking shelter behind a huge pile of debris and reporters were a ways off there as well.
One pretentious blonde looked up. "It's Videl!" she said, the cameras turned and focused on the four teens. When they were properly behind the debris the reporter started her onslaught.
"Videl do you think you can stop these thugs?"
"Oh course I can!" she said proudly, "You're looking at Hercule's daughter!"
The reporters nodded in agreement, until they heard a deep sign. "I should warn you about thinking that way…"
The blonde looked behind her and was startle by the presence of a Golden haired teen. Before anyone could react, he disappeared and at the same time reappeared next to Videl.
"So you're that trickster the rival news station has been trying to catch a glimpse of." The woman spat, "What gives you the right to belittle Videl?!"
He adapted a sitting position then snapped his fingers. All the news cameras shorted out, cutting off the live transmission. "I find it pointless to explain myself to someone whose method of deduction is biased and faulty."
Videl couldn't help but smirk. The blonde flushed in embarrassment. "You little…"
"Brat?" The boy intercepted, "I think I'm better at your job than you? I didn't, but you did"
Videl found that very similar to what Gohan did just a few minutes ago. He turned his attention from the stuttering blonde to Videl. "Sit." He said simply.
Usually, Videl had a problem with people commanding her, but this Gold Fighter was different. He had this dangerous authority about him that couldn't be ignored. On the other hand, he had a familiar air about him, but Videl just couldn't place it.
"They're toying with you." He said, eyes closed.
"This is toying with?!" Chief asked incredulously, Gohan nodded.
"They can fly, remember?" He put in.
Videl sighed in vexation. "Well then let's take them out now!" She said getting up. As soon as she did, the closest crook shot a beam at her. Gohan intercepted it with a smaller one of his own, causing a huge explosion that left a crater in the street."
The fighter pushed her back down. "Like I said: toying with you. If you think they're not waiting for you to pop up and try to stop them you're as big a fool as they."
"Well we can't just wait!" she yelled. She jumped over the debris, "If you're too scared to fightwith your stupid tricks, then I'll do it myself!"
She walked some distance before addressing the gang. "You thugs better give up if you don't want to get hurt!" she said smirking.
"Ha!" one of the crooks laughed, "As if you're going to touch us! Come and try!"
Videl charged forward, ignoring Chief's warnings. One of them fired a ki blast at her, she side-stepped it and rolled around another. A female member fired a well-placed blast, forcing Videl to jump over it. But while she was in the air, the woman fired another shot.
Videl looked at the incoming blast with fear evident on her face. 'Dammit!' she thought, 'I can't dodge!'
She should really have listened to Gohan. She closed her eyes as the light from the blast increased and she felt its heat. She waited for the impact, she heard Chief and the reporters yelling frantically. However, the blast never hit her, she hit something hard and then there was the shock wave from an explosive impact.
Videl hit the ground hard, knocking the wind out of her.
She opened her eyes and locked onto a slightly surprised Gold Fighter, the left chest plate of the armour he was wearing had been blown off.
'Odd,' he thought, 'this armour isn't supposed to fold under these weak blasts, looks like there's more to these KVM's than I thought…'
Videl scampered back a bit when she realized the gang members had closed the distance between them.
The female member stood in front of her. "Keep your mouth shut and come with us." She said.
"Like hell I will!" she said, supressing her fear.
"So be it," she stepped back and addressed one of her cohorts, "kill her."
A burly man approached her and extended his palm, it started to glow and a red orb formed. It grew to the size of a basketball and the man made a motion to fire. Videl was beat, she had to admit it, she sat on her heels and waited for death for the second time that day.
She flinched when the man started to grunt and the ball started to spark. Suddenly a sliver blur flew past her and stuck the man in the centre of his chest. The device started the smoke and the man misfired into the air, the orb came down some distance away and exploded. The thug fell over unconscious.
Every one turn their attention to the Gold Fighter, who was spinning three small blades, not paying attention to anything but the destroyed section of his armour.
"Oh?" the woman said looking Gohan up and down, "Aren't you a looker?" she licked her lips.
"Give up now." He said darkly. He eyed Videl, she seemed more shocked that anything.
"Sorry beautiful," the woman said with a bit of sultry, "can't do that."
Gohan stopped spinning his blades and readied himself to throw one. The woman looked at him, "Tsk, suite yourself." She sat on the stairs and crossed her legs, "Try not to hurt him too much, I want him unscratched."
The remaining two ran forward, charging ki blasts as they went. Gohan shot forward and rushed passed them, as they turned around to fire, he shot two ki blasts at the matrices, causing them to overload. He jumped back just as the KVM's exploded. Brushing off his shoulder, Gohan turned his attention to the female crook who was sitting with her hand to her chin. When he was standing in front of her, she stood up and looked at him.
"I'm impressed." She said.
"Give up now." Gohan said calmly. The woman laughed slightly and walked down to him and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Or what?" she challenged, "You're not the only one who's good with blades."
"What is your purpose building these devices?" He asked, "Forcing out the body's energy like this is deadly."
She put her hand over her mouth for a bit, studying him. Seeing that he wasn't giving an inch, she removed her trench coat to reveal a sleek black almost skin-tight outfit with a KVM mounted on her chest.
"Sorry sweetie, can't answer that question." The woman approached him. Gohan reached to grab another blade but the woman grabbed his hands, and with surprising force, pinned them to his side. "And to think you're only like two year younger than me…Oh well…We'll meet again."
Gohan was about to speak when the woman brought her lips down on his. Before he could even react to what was happening, a hard uppercut slammed into his chin. Gohan hit the ground some distance away, a small ki blast hit his face and exploded, smashing his head into the concrete below.
He began to sit up, touching his bruised face. A police officer rushed up to him and helped him to his feet.
"Are you alright?!" he asked, "That was one hell-of-a blow you took."
Gohan put his hands into his pockets and nodded. "I'm fine." He looked up at the sky to see a faint outline fading into the distant. "But it wasn't supposed to hurt in this form-"
"Hey, you!" He heard Videl's familiar scream. She stormed over to him and grabbed to top of his armour. "Who are you?"
"Just a Guardian." He stated simply.
"A Guardian of what? A you did was use a tonne of those light tric-"
"Your mind is closed." He began to float when he noticed the journalists advancing.
"Wait!" Videl grabbed, his foot.
"Don't you have a boyfriend to get back to or something?" Gohan asked getting nervous
Videl face stained red, "WHAT, No! I just want to know the name of the name of the man who saved my life."
He paused for a moment, then he reached down and gently removed her hand. "Like I said: Guardian."
A bright golden aura appeared and the cameras momentarily stopped flashing. By the time her vision returned, Videl only saw a streak of gold ascending into the sky.
