The Saiyan-Man New Adventures Part 10

The Mountains in the West:

With a groan Gohan awoke, he still felt weak and he was sore all over his body. Sitting up, he spit out blood. He had struck so hard that he had accidentally split his lip open. He knew that there was no way that he could fly, he just did not have the energy. He barely had the energy to stand. Rubbing the grit from his eyes he crawled over towards a large rock that he could lean against and help him stand. Frowning he knew by know, Videl would be going crazy with worry and concern. Reaching down to get his phone from his pocket, deciding to give her a call to inform her that he was fine. To his dismay he pulled out the shattered remains of his phone. It was smashed into uselessness. Exhaling he shook his head. "Great, now I am officially screwed. Which means I am walking out of here." With some reluctance, he looked down a gravel trail that led downward. Hopefully towards civilization. Starting to walk, he headed down the trail. After about an hour, he stopped to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Generally such a hike would not even cause him to lose his breath. But after using all of his energy, he felt weak and tired. Reaching a fork in the trail, he shrugged and decided to take the right hand trail, since it still headed down.

Four hours later, Gohan began to wonder if he should have taken the other Trail. Deciding to continue he walked on. He was out of breath when he reached the top of a rise and looked down. There about five miles away was a small store and a highway. Inhaling he nodded and proceeded on. It took him longer than he expected he reached the Store and made his way over to the Pay Phone. He did not know those things still were around, but thankful that there was. Picking up the receiver. "That has not worked in years, son." An old voice said from the doorway of the Store. Gohan glanced over and saw a white haired man with a mustache shaking his head negatively. "I would let you use my Phone, but the Fire knocked out all the Phone Lines."

"How far is the closest civilization with maybe working phones." Gohan asked.

"About twenty miles that way." The old man pointed west. "As the crow flies. The road is about thirty miles." Gohan looked west and frowned.

"Any public transportation going that way? Like a bus maybe." Gohan asked as he wished he had just enough energy to fly that far. But if he had anything left he would have flown off the Mountain.

"You are Saiyan Man ain't cha? Why not just fly to where you need to go?" The old man asked him and Gohan closed and reopened his eyes. "By the way names, Fred."

"Yes I am, but I used up all my strength and energy fighting the fire. So until I can rest and recharge, I am a pedestrian. Meaning I am walking." Gohan explained as the old man chuckled. "So is there any buses or anything?'

"Sorry Son, but no. A car might happen by in the next hour or so. Maybe you can hitch a ride." Fred gestured. "Why not come in, I can spot you a drink of water and maybe a sandwich." Gohan reached into his pocket and pulled out some money.

"I can pay Sir, can I get maybe ten or twenty Sandwiches?" Gohan asked, his stomach growling at the mention of food. The old man stared at him in shock.

"I guess I could, but who is coming to eat them with you?" Fred asked as he went in to make the Sandwiches. Then watched as Gohan ate them all and asked for a couple more. "Where the hell do you put all that?" As Gohan smiled and shrugged. "You do seem a little more coherent then you did earlier, though." Going back into the kitchen to make Gohan five more sandwiches. Then heard the roar of engines and quickly returned to look out the big window. "Oh no, not again." He gasped out, sweat began to bead on his old face and Gohan looked at him confused.

"What is wrong, Sir?" Gohan asked as he joined Fred at the window. Gazing down the long dusty highway. Seeing about twenty Motorcycles roaring into view.

"It is the Hellbounds, local bad boys. They have been causing some trouble around here." Fred told him as his hands began to shake. "Called the Cops a couple times, but by the time they arrive the Gang is gone." Gohan watched the Motorcycle gang approaching and exhaled. He was not up to having the energy to fly, but he guessed he would have enough to deal with a bunch of hoodlums. He body was still resilient to harm, that was something. Squaring his shoulders he closed his eyes concentrating on drawing as much energy as he could.

The Apartment: Search Party

Pacing back and forth, Videl tried the phone again and again it went to Voicemail. "Shit come on, answer. Let me know you are alright and are on your way home." She pleaded to the phone. As she debated on just flying to where Gohan was last seen, she frowned. The area was vast and any chance of just happening upon him was impossible. Glancing out the window she saw someone flying towards her. Her heart began to beat and as the figure came closer she noticed that it was not Gohan. When he arrived she smiled slightly. "Your Goku, Gohan's father right? We met at the Worlds Martial Artist Tournament" She asked as a man that was the spitting image of Gohan stepped into the Apartment and nodded.

"Yes I am. I cannot sense Gohan and thought you might have heard something." Goku said as he looked down at Videl and she really began to worry.

"No not a thing! I saw him fall on TV and I have not heard from him." Videl felt panicked as she glared up at Goku. "I do not know what to do, that area is so big and I have no idea where to start looking for him." She said to Gohan's father and he smiled.

"That is alright, I will go. Maybe it is that I am so far away from him. That I cannot sense him." As Goku turned back towards the Balcony. Videl rushed besides him.

"I am coming too." Videl said as Goku frowned. "I am going with you!" She demanded. "He is very important to me, I love him and we are getting married." She told Goku and he nodded. Flying west, Goku had to go slower than he wanted so that Videl could keep up, but as he arrived he found that he was not the only one concerned. Yamcha, Krillin, Piccolo, Goten, Trunks and even Vegeta were flying into the area.

"Vegeta I did not expect to see you here." Goku said as he looked at the Saiyan Prince with confusion. Vegeta smirked and shrugged.

"There are not many of us left Kakarot. Even if your brat is only half Saiyan, he is a Saiyan. That is something." Then Vegeta looked away. "And Bulma ordered me to come." He said barely audible. Bulma and he had watched when Gohan fell from the sky and after several hours of argument she had won and he was told to go help look for Gohan. "Now everyone try to find the Brat and let's get this over with." He stated as they all chuckled lightly and did as he suggested. All but Videl, she had not learned that yet. So she just waited impatiently.

Standoff:

As the Hellbounds reached the small Store. Gohan was waiting for them. At first the Gang of Motorcycle Thugs paused, then as one they moved towards Gohan. The leader was a large Man that easily surpassed Hercule Satan in size and Muscles. He was a dark haired man, with an eye-patch and scars on his face. Wearing a bright red vest with a burning skull on the front. Still on the Bike was a young Woman, perhaps about nineteen or twenty. She was dressed in very revealing shorts and a halter top that barely kept her breasts fully contained. Her blonde hair hung loosely down her back and Gohan could tell that she was not here voluntarily. As the Large Brute touched her bare leg she flinched. After a few seconds; the Man swaggered up to Gohan and leered down at him. "What's this Fred? A wannabe Saiyan Man to try to intimidate us." He yelled towards the open door of the Store and Fred shook his head. But Gohan answered the big thug.

"No, I am Saiyan Man and I suggest that you get on your little bike and leave!" Gohan said with as much bluster as he could produce. Trying not to weave or show that he was feeling slightly weakened. A couple of the others shifted uncomfortably on their bikes, but more gripped weapons. Gohan deduced that they were believing their Leader. That the Dressed up young man was a fraud and not the real Saiyan Man. The Larger Man glared down at him and started laughing.

"Yeah right. Like a big time Superhero would bother with something as trivial as us." The Leader stated, hearing a couple of his cronies laugh as well. "Naw. You are just asshole that Fred and the others around here convinced to try to scare us off." Glancing behind the Big thug, Gohan saw seven more of the gang get off their Bikes and approached. Gohan gritted his teeth. Deciding that intimidation was not going to work, it is going to come down to him fighting. At the moment he may not have the energy and strength. But he was a highly skilled Martial Artist and he doubted that any of these men were. The odds though were a highly uneven and he noticed that some of the had guns. Any resiliency he might have might not be totally effective. There was a good chance that at close range the bullets would partially penetrate his skin.

"Nothing is too trivial for me. Now are you going to leave or am I going to have to take you down." Gohan said confidently, going into a fighting stance. One of the others stepped closer to the Leader and seemed hesitant to take on a noted Superhero.

"I do not know Drake, he sure looks like Saiyan Man." The smaller man said as he exhaled. "If he is, we could be in for it."

"Spence, if this is Saiyan Man. Which I doubt, from what I heard Saiyan Man would not give us the choice to leave. So man up." Drake the Leader declared as he reared back to hit Gohan. Deciding talking was over, action and violence was now appropriate. Gohan was ready, with a classic block, he moved under the blow and drove his fist into the Larger Man's Stomach. Knocking the air out of him. Spence drove forward and Gohan took him down with a round house kick. The others that were off their Bikes surged forward and for the next two minutes. Gohan was blocking, punching and kicking. Drake the Leader who Gohan hoped was down for the count, but wasn't bellowed like a bull and came at Gohan swinging. Ducking under the larger Man's fiery of punches, Gohan kicked Drake in the face with a high jump flip kick. His boots colliding with Drake's nose breaking it. As Drake stumbled back he glanced around seeing the half dozen of his boys on the ground. Snarling back at the others. "Guns, take this piece of shit down! I want him dead!" He growled. Five Members of his gang walked forward, guns in their hands. Drake jumped to the side as the five men began to fire their guns at Gohan. Dodging all the incoming fire, Gohan flinched as one singed his cheek. One of the armed thugs lined up on Fred and Gohan did not have a choice. As the thug fired, Gohan jumped in between and felt the bullet hit him in the right shoulder. Penetrating a good half inch into his shoulder. Knocking him over. Starting to rise, he reached over and pulled the bullet out like a sliver and exhaled. The thugs had stopped briefly staring at Gohan as if he was unreal. Then as one, lined up and started firing again. Unfortunately having been struck, it had slowed him considerably.

The Search: Contact

Unfortunately even with them all concentrating trying to detect Gohan, they were having no luck. But Piccolo had other advantages that the others did not have, his increased hearing. "I hear gunshots." He stated as he opened his eyes. "That way." He pointed towards the east.

"You do not suppose that Gohan has gotten in some type of trouble?" Krillin asked as he shaded his eyes and looked towards the east. "Maybe we should check it out?" Videl was already heading in that direction as fast as she could fly. "I suppose me and Piccolo should go with her while the rest of you keep trying to sense him." Before the others could agree, both he and Piccolo flew after Videl.

"Raise your power levels if you find him." Goku advised as he saw Krillin wave in agreement and then streaked off to catch up with Videl.

Flying as fast as she could muster, Videl flew towards the east at high speed. Knowing Gohan was probably in the midst of whatever was happening towards that direction. He was not the type to back down from trouble, even if he was weakened or not able to fully defend himself. That was just how he is.

The Store: Rescue

Down on one knee, Gohan looked up at the gunmen. He was bleeding from several partial impacts from the bullets. Half the bullets that hit him could be seen on the ground, dented from hitting his resilient skin. The other half were stuck in his his skin. The bullets were going deeper and deeper into him and he knew that the next shots would severely cause him injury. He had been able to take out two of the Gunmen and the other three had called for others to join them. Now there were eight of the armed thugs taking aim at him. Drake the Leader, smirked as he looked over at Gohan. "You are a tough one, I will give you that. But like I thought you aint Saiyan Man." The big thug started to laugh as he gestured for his gunmen to finish off the interloper once and for all.

Bracing himself, Gohan considered his options. There wasn't any. The only and best thing he could do is rush them and hope that he could get close enough so that he could take them out before they seriously injured or killed him. "Sorry Videl." He muttered thinking about her, how upset she will be when he falls and does not return to her. Bringing out his final bit of energy that he had left he prepared to lunge forward and hope.

Approaching the area that she now heard the gunfire Videl spotted the source. About thirty Motorcycle Thugs were down below her and eight of them were lining up to shoot Gohan. With a scream of pure rage. She streaked down onto the gunmen like a hurricane; as they lined up there guns to fire on her Gohan. Dropping down amidst them. Punching and kicking any that were there. She was beyond angry she was pissed. She felt her blows breaking the thugs arms and legs as she pummeled whoever dared to hurt her Gohan. Snarling she grabbed one man and threw him across the pavement to skid to a stop before a very large brute. The man waved for the rest of his gang to attack. "Get her, it is just a girl!" He bellowed, then felt someone grab his jacket and spin him around. Seeing a punch aimed at his face. He had forgotten about Gohan. As the punch connected he dropped to the ground unconscious. Missing the arrival of two more that went through his men with no problems. In three minutes all of the Motorcycle gang were down for the count.

Videl rushed over to Gohan, knelt and hugged him roughly. Causing him to wince, but he held her just as tightly. She glared up at him, looking at all of his wounds. Noticing some of them bleeding soaking his Uniform. "Ever heard of ducking? You are a mess." She stated. Helping him up. Fred stumbled out and looked around at the unconscious Motorcycle Thugs.

"I can't believe what I just saw." Fred stammered out as he noticed some of them had broken bones. Videl had not been gentle as she attacked and she did not even feel guilty about how she reacted. They had the gull to threaten to kill her Gohan.

"Videl you want to use your phone to call the Police and perhaps a couple of Ambulances." Gohan said painfully as Piccolo stepped over to him. Handing him a Sensui Bean. "Thanks Piccolo." Crunching the Bean and feeling the healing effects pulse through him. His energy now completely restored as well. Exhaling with relief he smiled.

"You and I are going to have a long discussion about this when we get home." Videl said as she dialed the Local Area Police, making sure that ambulances were also sent. Gohan frowned knowing he was in some serious trouble. Within minutes. Goku, Yamcha, Goten, Trunks and Vegeta arrived. They had felt Gohan's return to normal. Before Gohan could inquire on Vegeta being there, the Saiyan Prince took Trunks arm and they left.

"Vegeta came to look for me?" Gohan asked his father. Gesturing to the departing Vegeta and Trunks. As the three new arrivals looked around seeing all of the unconscious and hurt men lying on the pavement and gravel.

"It seems he was told to, by Bulma. Are you alright Gohan?" Goku asked as he landed and looked at Gohan's blood soaked uniform.

"Yes, thanks to Videl's timely arrival and Piccolo gave me a Sensui Bean." Gohan replied as he turned to look down the highway. "Police and ambulances are coming, I do not think you guys want to be here." As he looked at Piccolo, Goku, Trunks, Goten and Yamcha. Piccolo and Krillin quickly joined Yamcha in the air followed by Goku and Goten. "Tomorrow me and Videl will come home for a visit. We can catch up then."

"That might be a good idea, since Videl told me you two are planning on getting Married soon. I bet your mother would like to know that." Goku said as he and the others left leaving the two Superheroes to deal with the authorities. Gohan looked over at Videl and she shrugged. The cat was out of the bag and Videl did not care. She figured that Chichi was already fuming that she and Gohan were living together, so why not tell Chichi the rest.

After talking to the Police, the couple took to the air. Videl held his hand as they flew towards home. She was silently going over what she was going to lecture him about. The carelessness. The not contacting her to let her know he was alright. The fact that when she arrived he was hurt and bleeding and the most important thing. How could he foolishly take on a gang of thugs and expect to live. When they arrived at home, she wanted to yell at him. But instead jumped into his arms and kissed him. They had delayed or postponed having any relations for two days and she wanted to remedy that. Holding her up by her ass, she moaned in his mouth as he groped her. It did not take long as they slipped to the floor. Kissing and fondling each other. Seconds later clothes were being removed and tossed in various directions. With him sitting with his legs bent at the knees and she down on his hips. Reaching down she pushed him inside her and began to move up and down his member. putting her forearms on his shoulders and her hands behind his head. While he fondled and caressed her small breasts. Moaning loudly, she thrust hard with her hips. Feeling him deep within her, while her insides squeezed and tightened around his member. He had moved his hands down to her ass to help with the movements and soon she was moaning even louder. Feeling several orgasms rock her body. When he came inside her, she came as well. Both inhaled and exhaled sharply. Getting their breathing back to normal. "Bedroom, I want more." Videl panted out as Gohan lifted her and took her into the bedroom.

The Hospital:

Sitting up, Erasa picked up a mirror and looked at herself. She was angry and frustrated. But mostly she never wanted something like that to happen to her again. At that moment she made a decision. If Videl can learn to fight and be a total bad-ass then so can she. So when Videl and Gohan came for a visit she would ask them to find someone to train her. Teach her to fight, fly and be just like Videl. No one was going to do what Hercule Satan had done to her, again. With that she laid back down and felt reassured. Thinking as she fell asleep. "Never again."

To be continued.
