The Saiyan-Man New Adventures Part 6
Frustration of Working: First Day
Returning to School on Wednesday was not easy for either of the Heroes. The front of the High School was mobbed by Reporters and Television Camera's, Along with probably a thousand fans and others that wanted to cheer Gohan and Videl. The drone of people saw them flying in and a huge massed cheer arose from the crowd. Thankfully the Police from Satan City were keeping everyone out except Students, Teachers and Faculty. Landing the two waved to the people and the cheering increased. Erasa was waiting as usual and she hugged them both. "Did you guys hear? You are getting Medals and an Award from the President." Erasa asked excitingly as she released Videl and then hugged Gohan. "Most of us believe it is about time." Walking down the stairs and when the door closed the booming voices died away.
"Yes we heard." Videl replied, grinning as they went to class. It was no better there. The whole class erupted into applause and cheers. Even Sharpner clapped, though he looked a little overwhelmed at the attention he had received on the way in. One of the Reporters discovered that he was friends with the Superheros and the Reporters attempted to ask him questions while he made his way into Orange High School. The Teacher entered and smiled at Gohan and Videl.
"The Principle would like to see you two." The Teacher said as he gestured towards Videl and Gohan. They turned and left, leaving Erasa wondering if there was another emergency that required them to go be Heroes again. Walking down the almost empty hallway, Videl wondered as well. But if it was another situation, a phone call to the classroom would be enough to mobilize them. Passing a Secretary, who waved for them to enter the Principal's Office. They stepped inside and a Middle Aged Man was waiting behind his desk.
"Please sit." The Principal said as he smiled over at them. "The whole school is proud of you, but the gathered masses is unacceptable. We suspect that this will continue for quite awhile so The School Board has decided to come up with a solution. You will take the end of Course Tests within the next day or so. Once completed you will not have to attend classes until you both Graduate." To Gohan and Videl it made sense, they would not have to worry about coming to classes and they could devote more time into being Superheros and to each other. It would also stop all of the fans and spectators from massing at the School.
"Okay I guess that will work, as it is now I doubt either of us can attend school without being mobbed." Videl said as she looked over at Gohan with a small grin and he instantly understood. She was not really thinking about that. She was thinking that without having to worry about getting up at 7 AM everyday during the week was not something she liked to do. Especially if they spend several hours the night before being frisky after doing the Superhero thing. "So do we go back to class?"
"No, I am thinking that this Saturday you take the tests. That way no one knows that you are actually here." The Principle advised as he stood and shook both of their hands and they left. Heading towards the roof. Videl would call Erasa later and have her come by for a visit as soon as possible.
Flying away the crowds below noticed them and believed that the Duo was heading out for some disaster. So they started to disperse. Videl smiled all the way home, she was talking about them taking a nap until Gohan had to go for his first Photo Shoot. That was at 5 PM and Videl was looking forward to seeing Gohan begin his Modeling Career.
After they both took a nap and checked the Televisions. They walked down to Michelle's Office where Gohan started nervously began pacing back and forth. "I do not know if I can do this." He said as he checked his watch and he was one minute early. When Michelle entered she smiled.
"I have good news, the Two Clients want to pay you an extra five thousand. Oh and Videl if you are willing they will pay you Ten Thousand if you will poise with him in your Uniform." Michelle said excitingly as she pulled out an one time contract for Videl. "They also want you to start with the shoot with you wearing yours as well, Gohan." They both touched their watches and their Uniforms appeared. Michelle led them into a large room, where clothes hung along one wall and several Cameras. Five men and four women waited. Two of the men were wearing expensive looking suits and were eager to meet both Gohan and Videl. Four hours later the shoot was over and Gohan made Fifty Thousand dollars but only received Forty Thousand Dollars, minus the Five that Michelle advanced them and Five Thousand for her commission. Videl made Ten, for just poising once with Gohan. "There will be others next week, same amount or more. With your popularity I will have no problem finding clients." Then Michelle looked at Videl. "I usually only handle Men, but there is a demand for you Videl to model with Gohan. I can probably get you some good money too. If you are interested." Seeing Videl's concern. "Oh it will be just like Gohan's contract, you will have final say on if you want to do it or not."
Videl shrugged. "I will have to think about it." With a check in each of their pockets, Videl and Gohan left the Photo Studio and headed back to their apartment. Gohan was hungry and they both decided upon Pizza. Videl made Gohan something special. Orange Soda with two scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream in a glass. He was leery as he looked at the concoction and frowned. "Try it, you will like it." She advised as she dialed the Local Pizza Delivery, ordering four large pizzas with pepperoni and extra cheese, Forty Eight Hot Wings and two orders of Bread Sticks. Looking back as Gohan tentatively spooned some of the Ice Cream with Orange Soda into his mouth. Liking it he ate and drank it down. "Told you so. Root Beer and Grape are also good." Fixing a glass for herself and refilling his. Talking lightly as they waited for the food. Which arrived twenty eight minutes later. Gohan paid and after signing another autograph, they sat and ate. Videl had two slices of Pizza, ten wings and four Bread Sticks. While Gohan polished off the rest. "If your metabolism ever fails you are going to be one fat man." She commented as she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
"Never happen." Gohan stated when she came back, he stood and went to the bathroom also. To brush his teeth. Suspecting that minimally Videl would want to make out and he was right. As soon as he sat down she straddled his lap and started to kiss him. since the News on the Four Televisions did not report any Emergencies, they had time to fool around. Videl was breathing hard and really getting aroused. Gohan had slipped his right hand up her shirt and inside her bra. Caressing her breasts. when someone knocked on the door.
"Shit, just when it was getting good." Videl gasped out, climbing off his lap and adjusting her bra back to cover her breasts again. "Remember where we left off at." She ordered as she looked through the peephole and frowned. "It's Krillin, 18 and Marrion. I guess fooling around will have to be put on hold." She opened the door and smiled. Gesturing for them to come in. Gohan stood and shook Krillin's and 18's hands, while Marrion hid behind her mother's leg.
"We were nearby and thought we would come for a visit." Krillin explained as Gohan led them to the couch and chairs. "I know it is late, but it is hard to catch you both. With you both going to school and you two being Superheroes."
"Yes well we do get a lot of free time." Gohan informed them.
"Not what I saw, we heard about the Volcano and about the President wanting to give you two an Award and Medals. Good work on that. You know if you ever need help, just give me a call." Krillin said as 18 glared at him, then glanced back at them.
"That is if he has time and right now he does not." 18 stated firmly, silently deciding to later inform Krillin that he had a full time job and that takes precedence over flying around being unpaid Heroes. "I cannot understand how you two can afford such a place." She glanced around the Apartment, it was not something that a couple of teenagers with no income could afford.
"I have a sort of job, that pays pretty good." Gohan replied and felt embarrassed. 18 noticed and pressed on.
"What type of job and if it pays this good perhaps Krillin should do it instead of being a Police Officer?" 18 asked as she smirked over at Krillin. Both Videl and Gohan looked at each other and Videl coughed and shook her head.
"Well I do not think he can do it." Clearing his throat, exhaling sharply Gohan continued. "I model clothes for Magazines and Billboards." He stammered out and heard both Krillin and 18 start to chuckle then laugh. "Hey it pays really good, I made forty thousand for five hours of wearing different clothes." He said defensively as 18 stopped laughing.
"Whoa, that is really good. No I doubt Krillin could do it." 18 stated smiling evilly at Krillin. " I am sorry but you are not as attractive as Gohan." That let the air out of the room as Krillin chocked, Videl and Gohan stared at 18. Who shrugged. "I was not serious, my Krillin is attractive. Well to me, anyhow." With that everyone chuckled, she had said it so straight forward that they thought she had been serious.
"No I do not think Krillin could, it seems that Gohan is the one that these Clothes Manufactures want. I would bet though that you could model clothes, 18. You are just the type. Blonde, Attractive and young looking." Videl informed 18 as she tried to get everyone's attention of the weird joke that 18 had said. Krillin also decided to change the subject at the moment.
"I cannot believe that your Mother, Chichi is allowing you two to live together. I thought by now she would have come here and dragged you home." Krillin stated as he thought of Chichi and how she was so strong willed and opinionated. 18 thought it strange, that Videl was keeping her hands together. Her right hand over her left, as if hiding something. Using her X-Ray Left Eye she focused on the hands and had her answer.
"Is that an engagement ring that I see on Videl's finger?" 18 asked as she pointed at Videl's clasped hands and Videl looked down wondering how 18 could see her finger and the ring. Moving her right to show Krillin and 18.
"Yes, how did you see that? I thought I had it covered where no one could." Videl asked as she showed both Krillin and 18 the ring, holding her hand out to them.
"I used my X-ray vision." 18 informed her then smiled. "So does that mean you are engaged?" Gohan nodded and Krillin started laughing.
"You are in so much trouble." Krillin stated chuckling as 18 glared at him to be silent. Gohan was about to offer them something to drink, when one of the Televisions caught his attention. A Cargo Train outside of a Small Town. North of Satan City was out of control and it could not stop.
"I can handle this, why don't you stay this time Videl? It is just a Train, nothing too serious. You visit with 18 and Krillin." Gohan rushed towards the Balcony and Videl frowned then nodded. Krillin stood.
"I could come with you, give 18 and Videl time to visit without us around." Krillin offered and Gohan shrugged. Krillin glanced at 18 and she nodded.
"Let Gohan do his thing, I do not expect to here you hurt yourself trying to do what he does." 18 ordered as Krillin joined Gohan and after turning on his Uniform. The two flew off at high speed. "Now let us talk about when you two are going to tie the knot. Is that the proper slang for asking the possible wedding day?" Videl nodded and glanced down at Marrion who was sleeping soundly on 18's lap and began to think it might be nice to have a child someday.
The Train was going three times as fast of normal speeds. Gohan flew along the Engine and landed. Inside the Engine Room, Gohan noticed instantly that there was no one driving the Train. Behind the Engine was twenty or twenty five loaded cars. Moving to the Clasp that held the cars attached to the Engine, he reared back and smashed the connector. Breaking it so that the Cars could come to a slow stop. the Engine lurched forward. Returning to the controls, Gohan tried to pull the throttle back to slow and stop the Engine. It broke off. "Well now I have to do it the hard way." Taking back to the air, Gohan braced his arms against the front, just at the Cattle Catcher and slowly put his feet down onto the rails. Grunting with effort, his feet skidded along. The Engine began to slow. As the metal started bending in, Gohan pushed harder. Grunting with the effort. Then in a flash he turned Super Saiyan and applied the added strength to slowing and stopping the Engine.
"You are doing it, but there is a sharp turn ahead." Krillin said as he flew next to Gohan, pointing further up the line. Gohan pushed harder, then frowned. There was not enough time. At this speed the Engine would fly off the tracks and smash into the town at the turn. Pulling back his fist he punched, then blasted the Engine with Ki Energy. With a titanic explosion the Engine disintegrated, into pieces landing on both sides of the tracks. Then braced himself for the Cars and as soon as they were within touch, Gohan slowed the Cars to a stop, then revert to normal. "Wow, good work. You make this look so easy and appealing. Maybe I should do this too."
Gohan chuckled. "Yeah right. All you have to do is get permission from your wife. I doubt that she would give it." He said and watched as Krillin milled that over in his mind, then smiled.
"You might be right, I barely got her consent for me being a Police Officer. What can I say she worries about me." Krillin explained, as they took to the air. Heading back towards home. Talking about Gohan being a Men's Clothing Model and possible Wedding dates.
Landing on the balcony, Gohan switched back to normal clothes and glanced inside his apartment. Videl and 18 were talking about different things as Krillin joined 18 on the couch. "So did you stay out of trouble on your little trip?" 18 asked Krillin as he looked from her to Marrion.
"You bet, all I did was watch. Gohan was right it as easy, well for him. Me I doubt I could stop a runaway Train as easily as he did." Krillin stated, as 18 smirked over at him. After another hour, Krillin and 18 stood. While 18 carried the tired Marrion they went towards the Balcony.
"Please come by anytime. It is nice to have friends by for a visit." Gohan said as he shook Krillin's hand, gave 18 and the sleeping Marrion a quick peck on the cheeks. Videl kissed each of them on the cheek, agreeing with Gohan. It had been nice.
"Sure, but maybe you can come visit us too. You know take a day off being Superheroes and come by for a Barbecue. Say next Saturday." Krillin said as he entered the air, floating. 18 nodded and joined him. Then they flew off. After they left Videl turned towards Gohan.
"So was the Train as easy as Krillin said?" Videl asked worried that maybe he and Gohan had exaggerated slightly about it being as easy as they said it was. That perhaps she should have been there also.
"It was easy for me, basically you would have only been able to do what Krillin did. Let me know that I did not have time to physically stop the Train Engine. I had to destroy it to stop it." Gohan said as Videl took his hand and smirked.
"Good, now where were we when we were interrupted?" Videl asked as she led Gohan into the Bedroom. It was only 11 PM and they did not have to get up early tomorrow so they could return to fooling around again.
Hercule Satan Mansion: Plans
Inside the Mansion, several dozen strong menacing looking men stood in a long line. Each one was a known bone breaker in Martial Arts and each had either been at the World Tournament or wanted to be at the next. More were due to arrive in the next two days. Hecule sat behind a table and interviewed each man personally. "Alright here is the deal. I am looking for the toughest and strongest Men that I can find. I am paying each Man Fifty Thousand Dollars, with a bonus of another Fifty if you personally are the one that makes who we are going after into a bloody broken mess. If he happens to die, then I will give you One Hundred Thousand." Hercule smiled at that and the big Bruiser across the table smirked.
"Who is that you want us to wallop on?" The Huge Man asked as he leaned on the Table, completely interested and willing to accidentally kill anyone for that type of money. As was most of the Men around him.
"Saiyan Man." Hercule said and the bruiser did not even blink. "I want him broken, bloody and if possible dead. Do you have a problem with that?" He asked as the man shrugged.
"For that type of money, no problem at all." The Man signed on and walked over towards the others. All of them were grinning and thinking of the Money. Hercule started chuckling which turned into one of his classic hardy laughs. As he began to imagine that Punk beaten, bruised, bleeding and hopefully dead. Then if everything goes right. Videl would be forced to come home. Now all he had to do is trick that punk into somewhere that Hercule could unleash these Bruisers. That would be the end of Videl's boyfriend once and for all. Smirking he knew exactly where and when, tomorrow at Satan Park. All it would take was an invitation to speak with the Punk privately. The idiot was bound to show up. Then at the same time as the ambush, Hercule will attempt to make amends with Videl so that she would never suspect that it was her Father. It was perfect.
"Be ready. Tomorrow is the day. Be at the Park and as soon as he shows up, I want him beaten, bruised, bloody and dead." Hercule stated as the thirty or so men nodded, now all holding Fifty Thousand Dollars each. Most looking forward to adding to that amount very soon. Picking up his Cell Phone he first sent a text to Gohan, forcing himself to be pleasant and nice. Then another to his daughter. Both he insisted that they do not tell the other, so neither suspected that he was behind anything sinister. To his delight they both agreed. Though Videl was somewhat suspicious. Texting back that she hoped that this would not turn into another argument. He assured her that it was not. That he only wanted to apologize and hoped to have some type of relationship with her. At least friendly enough to be Father and Daughter. That convinced her to at least meet with him at a Diner at noon. Gohan also texted that he would be at the Satan Park at noon. Laughing he watched as his horde of Bruisers left. "I have to remember to be shocked and dismayed that Gohan had been killed and provide as much support as possible to Videl and mourn with her about her lose." Then he laughed louder. Hoping he could act well enough to convince his Daughter of his sincerity.
