A.N: Some themes in this chapter may seem like they were ripped off from a certain DC movie that recently came out but they are actually inspired by a few other Gohan fics where a lot of Earth hates him. I can't remember the 1st one's name but Gohan's Super Hero alias was Demon or Devil or something and he trained Goten, Trunks and Marron. And then the Fic of the previous owner of this account called Poor Mr Son dealt with similar themes. I will not deny however that this DC movie did inspire my execution of this plot point. Just wanted to clear that up.
Soon enough Capsule Corp came into view before them and the male of the due dropped back to his Black Hair mode or whatever he called it and came to a stop above the building itself. Gesturing for her to follow him Gohan floated down to the backyard of Capsule Corp. And touched down quietly. He sensed a mass of Ki signatures within the building and figured that's where his class was. "Our class is this way Videl. I think I sense Sharpener and Erasa and I definitely sense Bulma." Gohan explained as she touched down beside him.
The duo made their way through the halls making small talk, and something that had been eating at Videl finally made it to the forefront of the girl's mind.
"Gohan, back on the street earlier today, you were angry clearly about the innocent lives lost but that little girl made you feel something different. You lost control…I know I said I didn't want to pry too much, but I feel like this is important enough to be brought up" Videl started cautiously, measuring her tone and his expression, making sure she wasn't going to make him clam up defensively, "I've never seen you like that before" she continued, noting he showed no signs of a negative reaction, "That cloaked guy who attacked us dealt you physical injury but these murderers who couldn't hold a candle to you hurt you far worse…do you want to talk about it?" she asked tentatively.
When he sighed heavily Videl feared that he was going to push her away but to her surprise without so much as another word he began explaining it.
"I told you before most of my life was spent in conflict. My whole life has been spent in bloody battles to the death over the fate of the Earth. At age 4 I was kidnapped by my uncle who was a mercenary who did terrible things. Then my dad's greatest enemy took me to the wilderness and left me to survive for 6 months on my own, then for the next 6 months after that he trained me in Martial Arts in an attempt to bring out my latent potential, which is achieved via rage. Then my uncles mercenary friends showed up with the intent to kill a lot of people so me and my dad's friends tried to defend it as my father himself was…incapacitated…from his fight with my uncle." Gohan paused then as his eyes turned distant, bringing up a distant memory.
"Of the 6 of us that went out there, only me and 1 other survived the battle. Every single one of them died right in front of me. A few times, due to the powerful combination of DNA that is my genetic makeup, my combined rage and fear made me strong enough to momentarily overpower them but once my strength returned to normal they beat me and my dad's other friend to within an inch of our lives." Videl's eyes widened with each passing minute. This guy…he really had it bad.
"Seeing that girl there, barely old enough to understand what was happening around her, surrounded by death, by blood, crying and screaming. It triggered my least favorite memories and sparked an anger in me. It was like I was watching my childhood from my father's perspective, the only thing standing between a helpless, innocent child, and terrible murderous monsters. And I was so determined to save everyone I could, even at the cost of my own life, just like he did…" Gohan trailed off there, stopping in the middle of the hallway. Visions of his friends dying, innocent life being taken, and his father's smiling face flashed before his eyes. He was brought out of his thoughts when he was enveloped in a warm hug from the much shorter teenager.
He could tell she was on the brink of tears but he wasn't sure why? Had he hurt her feelings? "Oh Gohan, I'm sorry…the pain in your eyes…the memories I made you relive…I wish I hadn't asked, I'm so sorry Gohan." She apologised fervently, holding him tighter. He blushed at the contact but awkwardly hugged her back averting his eyes away. Thank god Vegeta wasn't here to see this, he wasn't sure he'd ever live this down.
After a few moments the Raven-haired girl pulled away slightly, craning her neck to look Gohan in the face, catching him by surprise by the genuine care sparkling in her Blue eyes. It was stunning how pretty she could suddenly become in a moment's notice, "Are you okay? I haven't hurt your feelings have I?" she asked cautiously. Again the amount of care and sympathy she directed with her expression and voice baffled the warrior, who had only known pain, pride, anger and fear his whole life. He felt a new emotion bubbling in the pit of his stomach and despite the heavy, fluttery feeling it ailed him with, he wanted to lose himself in it. He blushed even deeper and dumbly nodded at her with an embarrassing grin. Internally he threw up at the weakness he was showing but his body wasn't getting memo apparently.
Videl smiled back at him and he felt like he would die any moment now, he almost wished he would, so as to relieve himself of his weakness. Thankfully Videl had the sense to move on while he just stood there smiling like an idiot. "That's good, let's go then, our field trip awaits us!"
Gohan shook away the feeling, glancing away from the girl as he continued walking, "How can I let myself be affected so strongly while Videl doesn't bat an eye, dammit Gohan!" HD mentally chided himself, meanwhile little did he know, Videl's heart was beating every bit as fast as her friend's and her face had grown just as warm the moment she looked away.
They were walking through a particularly large space when Gohan suddenly turned to look past Videl at something and his face warped into a snarl, he pushed the girl out the way and stuck his stretched palm out. Videl watched as an instant later the space where her head was became occupied by a Basketball-sized Ki Blast. Gohan contained the ball with his energy and twisted his torso to the side, noting an open window, he swung his hand towards the window and released the energy out into the sky.
Gohan bent down to help Videl up off the floor with an apologetic smile on his face. "You stopped that attack before it got near you brat." A gruff voice commented. Videl looked at a nearby doorway to her left and saw Bulma's husband, who she now knew as Vegeta, leaning against a doorframe casually.
"Oh, it's just you Vegeta. Tch, guess I didn't slack as much as you thought huh?" Gohan shot back with a mix of ego and annoyance.
"Hmph, I wouldn't say that. If you trained the full 7 years you would be far beyond me, we wouldn't be as close in power as we are." Vegeta replied, but surprisingly there was no malice to his voice, in fact he seemed to be thinking about something.
"This is new. A week ago I was sure I had surpassed the boy, but for a brief instant I could have sworn his power raised astronomically" he pondered privately within the recesses of his mind. As a matter of fact he remembered sensing a similar spike in the boy's power when Broly had come back.
As his lady friend, the human girl, was pulled back to her feet he wondered if the two events perhaps had something in common…Wait that was it! How could he have been such a fool? The girl! The girl was always present, if it was indeed his mate then it was possible that his need to protect gave him some kind of strength and perhaps he wasn't imagining the power boost.
This was somewhat irritating but in a way it was comforting that if he WAS by some chance weaker than Kakarot when this tournament came around, at least the successor in his son may be more powerful yet and was more Saiyan-like to boot thanks to the Prince's own proud influence over the years. But there was no point in dwelling on this as these spikes of power could just be due to hormones and unreliable. Vegeta had never even INDISPUTABLY sensed Gohan's Ki at a level greater than what he currently wielded.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say Vegeta, next time how about you just say hello?" Gohan remarked cheekily. Causing Vegeta to 'hmph' in annoyance at him.
"Next time, I'll drag your lazy-ass to the Gravity Chamber and lay a royal beating on you." The Prince bit back scathingly.
"Sure you will, look me and Videl have to go catch up with Bulma and my class so if you'd be so kind as to let us past…"
Vegeta scowled more deeply but stepped to the side nonetheless, "Cursed weaklings taking up residence in my dwelling" Vegeta muttered under his breath before continuing a little louder.
"And for what!? So they can feebly attempt to grow their ignorant minds? They can't even wrap their minds around the fact that an obvious peacekeeper with special abilities is a good thing for their insignificant species, how could they possibly wrap their peabrains around the concepts of Capsule technology or space travel?!" he ranted.
The start of that part caught Gohan's ear, "Peacekeeper with abilities…" Gohan reached out to make sure no one was around, "You mean me?" Gohan asked in a hushed tone, suddenly paying rapt attention.
Vegeta merely hummed in affirmation before signalling for Gohan to follow him into the next room. Videl and Gohan walked after him as he approached a remote control on a table, "The people on this mudball have been particularly ungrateful as of late." Vegeta lifted the remote and pointed it at a large TV on the wall.
With a touch of a button it came to life and the Prince began flipping through the various news channels. Gohan's eyes progressively widened as he read headline after headline; "Saiyaman A Loose Cannon?" "Friend or Foe?" "Vigilante gone wild" "Super Hero or Super Zero?" "Double Agent Vigilante" "Planet Earth's real threat!"
"Who writes this bullshit!? You do nothing but help people!" Videl bellowed indignantly.
"Your fellow Earthlings don't seem to agree." Vegeta remarked evenly.
"Ridiculous! There must be plenty others who disagree!" Videl claimed confidently.
"There are, for now, but the World government is currently holding a meeting and discussing what to do about the surge of "Super-powered beings", as if they have any control over what we do."
Throughout this whole conversation Gohan remained quiet as he listened to the various reporters commenting on him, "He is NOT above the law! Vigilantism is an offense and he should be taken into custody!" One said.
"But you must see that many people agree that he's a hero! That couple he saved from certain death today can certainly attest to that!" someone argued in his defense.
"Tell that to the man his actions put in hospital, and the father of said man he injured in an altercation at downtown WCPD only an hour ago. He thinks he's some kind of force of nature, free to do what he wants! I say we put him behind bars now before he and his cronies turn on us! We here at West City during the recent Alien invasion have seen the destruction his kind bring."
"Gohan? Hey are you okay?" Videl asked with concern, his fists were clenched and he looked pissed.
"Yeah" Gohan replied with a deep voice, deceivingly calm, "I'm okay."
15 minutes later: With Bulma
"When Vegeta told me your Ki was all over the place, I didn't think he LITERALLY meant all over Earth" Bulma chuckled after being told the story of why Gohan and his friend were hours late to the field trip, "Sounds like you've had quite the day kiddo, I don't envy you hero types." Bulma joked as she had a message sent to the highschool confirming both Gohan and Videl had arrived as she said they would, because apparently written notes from a guardian weren't enough anymore.
"Well you missed the initial tour of the coloured arrows and signs and general way-finding about the facility but its really easy and more just a formality. You also missed the long winded safety precaution rules, fortunately for you we'll just pretend I spent all this time explaining it to you but seeing as you're in on the conspiracy now I'm not concerned about you finding anything abnormal." The genius joked before pushing her rolling chair back and standing up.
"I'll take you back out to your class in the 'fun wing' as one of your classmates so affectionately referred to it as." She told them, walking them back to their class for appearances sake so she looked professional to the class.
The walk was short and soon enough they were walking through a door to a wing boasting consoles, TVs, through a door there was a gym, on the opposite side a door leading to an outside area with a pool, a few hot tubs, and a garden with a few games set up. Videl gawked in awe and Gohan's eyes widened slightly. The boy had seen Capsule Corps extent plenty but Bulma really made this a teenagers heaven.
"Alright everyone Videl and Gohan turned up, I'm sure you'll be able to lay out for them this wing. A robot will come by in a few hours once I finalize everything with room arrangements based on your preferences from earlier today. As you were." Bulma called out over the activities, gaining some form of acknowledgement or another from most of the teens.
She turned on her heel and left, leaving Gohan and Videl to be rushed by various students. Videl by Sharpener, Erasa, and a few of Videl's other friends and Gohan by the single female populace of his class. He wondered what spurred the sudden forwardness of his class but he kept a straight face, knowing better than to let them see his fear.
"Gohaaaaan, where have you beeeen?"
"Class was boring without you to check out!"
"Do you want to come join me in the hot tub?"
Without really thinking about it he replied, "Actually the hot tub sounds pretty cool right about now. But I'd have to go to my room to change."
There was a collective squealing noise before one of the smarter girls made a comment. "Wait how do you know where your room is already? "
Gohan looked at her funny, "Because being Bulma's godson means I've stayed here more than once you know, I have my own room for when I visit." Be responded as if it were before realising he had just let slip something very important.
Another collective squeal, "You have your own room, separate from the guest areas?" someone asked.
Gohan looked confused as not one of the girls questioned the bit about Bulma. "Yyyeah it's just around the corner but it's a bit bigger and what not…" he told them cautiously.
"You should totally go get changed and come in the hot tub with us!" A girl insisted vehemently.
"Yeah and it'll be a good opportunity to show me where your room is in case I want to…'visit' you at some point." Another girl told him with a tone that made Gohan extremely skeptical of their intentions.
He ignored it however and just turned and left the room with a crowd of girls in tow. When the crowd cleared however Videl was left standing frozen before Erasa, who was trying to get her attention.
She had been in the middle of her conversation about how she'd been doing some special training when she had heard that last implication from a girl in the crowd, "Oh HELL no!" She declared making her Blonde friends' raise their brows.
"What, what did they say?" Erasa enquired. Clearly something about the fan-girling they had just witnessed didn't sit right with Videl for some rea-ohmygod she liked Gohan.
"A few of those prissy sluts are planning to seduce him!" she screeched. Shapener's eyes widened further at Videl's choice of words, she wasn't normally so judgemental. Why was she-oh shit brains hit the jackpot.
"That's not really fair Videl, they're hormonal teenagers and Gohan is just such a dreamboat floating on an oasis, you can't really blame them." Erasa reasoned with a raised brow and a smirk.
"The hell I can't! I'm making sure that NOBODY rides this dreamboat if I have to punch every girl in our cohort!" Videl declared with determination, making Sharpener cough awkwardly at Videl's double-meaning.
Erasa's eyes twinkled with signs of mischief and joy, "If I didn't know any better Videl, I'd say it sounds like YOU want to ride the dreamboat." Erasa implied with a suggestive tone that made Videl look at her with a bright red face and an expression that made the Blonde feel like she had said something scandalously dirty.
"This conversation just became extremely uncomfortable…" Sharpener decided aloud after coughing audibly and so he walked off to see what the other guys were doing to leave his two friends to do "girl talk" without him.
"I-Erasa that's-" Videl stuttered, clearly embarrassed by the very thought of such a thing.
"Oh come-on Videl, it's clear that you have feelings for him. You are 100% jealous of those girls trying to take your man!" Erasa layed on.
Videl huffed at her, "Erasa listen to yourself. Me liking Gohan? That doesn't even sound right." She remarked with a proud turning up of her nose at the idea.
"Well then you should have no problems with Gohan having sex with every girl in the cohort if he so chooses right? You don't care that he's probably going to have our classmates all over him in that hot tub?" Erasa goaded making Videl faulter a bit.
There was a silent moment before any reply was made, "Okay so maybe I think he's a little cute and interesting, what's your point?"
"You can't let them corrupt that boy. You need to strike while he's naïve and clueless. You two are close now right?" Erasa questioned. She assumed the answer was yes based on the fact that they both stopped coming to school and were "training" together when she had called.
"Well yeah, I stayed the night at his apartment, I know a lot about him, he considers me a best friend." Videl told Erasa hesitantly, purposely leaving out the fact that they had almost shared a kiss not too long ago.
"Perfect! It sounds to me like if you clung to him and insinuated to the girls that they stood no chance he'd be none the wiser right?" Erasa asked confidently.
"Probably but you forget that as naïve as he is, he's still a teenager and I doubt he'd be blind to pretty girls in not much clothing warming up to him." Videl pointed out.
"True, but the solution to that is simple, you just have to outshine them!" Erasa declared as if it were the most obvious thing.
Videl's face paled at the suggestion as she felt a great sense of apprehension at whatever her friend was about to suggest.
"He's going in the hot tub right? All you have to do is let me make you look irresistible to the guy and get all his attention on you." Videl gulped at this nervously because she knew she wouldn't be able to turn down such a good plan.
"Okay…" she muttered with a scowl and blush, "But how do we stop them from getting to him at night?" She questioned her best friend.
The blonde girl took a moment to try and think of a solution to the problem, "There'd have to be some reason that you couldn't use your room…but what would it be?" she questioned thoughtfully.
An idea sprung to Videl's mind as she tried to focus on the non-suggestive perspective of her plan. "Erasa I have a plan, don't ask now just…ugh, just help me get ready for Gohan to come back please." Videl requested.
Her friend pumped her fist and grinned in victory before grabbing her crime-fighting companion by the shoulders and steering her to a washroom.
*Meanwhile: With Gohan*
The warrior knew he had made a mistake now, these girls were prodding and squeezing his upper body and he struggled to do nothing but pry himself away and politely ask for some room.
He really wished he had asked Videl to come with him. Even Erasa or Sharpener would do. He finally arrived at his room and put his keycard into the slot. It beeped and unlocked his door, allowing him to get in.
The girls rushed in after him, looking around at his personal space. It was slightly nicer than their own rooms and it contained a huge, seemingly very comfortable, double bed. They 'ooh'ed and 'ahh'ed and he just rolled his eyes to himself.
"Alright, I need to change now so could you all please step outside. I won't be long." He asked with his most polite tone, there was a collective groan as they made their way out the room. One of the bolder girls stepped up to him.
"Are you sure I can't stay and help you Gohan?" she asked with puppy eyes that made Gohan feel a little bad, but he stood his ground.
"No thank you that won't be necessary. I'm just changing my clothes, what could I possibly need help for?" He asked nicely but was inwardly sighing exasperatedly as she layed a hand on his chest.
"Well…" she began suggestively as the other girls looked on in jealous horror, "I don't have to help you with that part, but there are plenty of other ways that I could help you." The seductress hinted as her hand slid down his chest and beelined for below his belt, but Gohan was far quicker. He caught her hand as it reached his lower abdominals and he became sterner with the girl.
" .you." he empasised, "Now leave, please." He told her. The girl looked slightly disappointed but nodded regardless and made her way out the room with Gohan in two.
She walked out the door with the rest of the group and Gohan moved to close the door behind her, she stopped him one last time to tell him to come to her first if he changed his mind. He told her with a fake polite smile that he'd keep that in mind before he closed the door and moved over to his cupboard to change.
As he selected a pair of shorts to wear and began changing clothes he decided that having to defend Earth from tyrants was the lesser of two evils when compared to dealing with fangirls.
At least there was an aspect of those tyrant attacks he enjoyed, physical activity, Martial Arts, pushing his body, exercise. It was at least therapeutic. Dealing with hormonally-charged teenage girls who he had no interest in lacked any real appeal. He sighed deeply after changing and made his way back to the door. He hoped something exciting happened soon, he didn't care what it was…
*Meanwhile: Somewhere underground*
"Good evening Gentleman. I thank you all for finding time to come here today. I trust you all left your King Furry in the dark as I requested?" a man hidden in shadow questioned the group of high ranking officials. Everyone in the room made a gesture or sound of affirmation.
"Good, then let's get right to the point, each of you are here because we have something in common, we all want Saiyaman brought to his knees!" The figure spat vehemently. "The general populace fear him, a small portion even hate him. For my own personal reasons I too want him brought down. So I would like to aid you all in achieving our goal."
"And how exactly do you plan to do that?" Questioned a general for the world army, "He's been hit with bullets, missiles, knives, grenades, energy blasts and come out unscathed, he can level mountain ranges and incinerate people and structures in their entirety!"
"I am fully aware of what he is capable of, I have technology that has injured him before and can even render him powerless, allowing you to do with him what you will whether for experimentation" he suggested, turning his gaze to the head of research and scientific development, "To weaponise him" he cast a glance to the general, "Or for public approval" his gaze met that of the Mayor of West City.
"All I need are your resources so that I can apply my technology in a way that could actually bring him down for good." The figure explained with a measured tone, "So are you in?" he questioned, receiving multiple nods from the room, "Good…then let's begin…"
*Soon After: With Videl*
It was taking forever for Erasa to find an outfit that wasn't too revealing but complimented her strengths and would catch Gohan's eye more than the other girls. As luck would have it he was just now finishing a conversation with Sharpener and the girls were trying to drag him to the hot tub.
He scowled in slight annoyance and caved, moving towards the hot tub, he reached the edge and pulled his shirt off over his head, gathering squeals and gawking from the harem of girls chasing him. Even Videl allowed herself a moment to stare before remembering she was supposed to 'wow' him, not the other way around.
She gathered herself and marched forward confidently, a few of the girls saw her coming and gaped at what they were seeing and what it meant for their own plans. "Hey Gohan…" she greeted smoothly, the only trace of her nervousness was the slight pink hue to her cheeks.
"Hey Vi…del…" he trailed off halfway through at seeing her, she stepped in closer, brushing his stomach with her chest by just the barest of margins. She splayed each of her palms on his chest, "I overheard you saying that you were going to the hot tub, but I never got the invite, I thought we were close?" she said in a staged hurt tone.
"Im so sorry Videl I didn't think you'd want to, of course we're close, please come with." He offered apologetically.
"Okay if you're sure you want me here…" she added, sounding unsure.
He couldn't stop it completely and Gohan's eyes dipped and glanced at her as a whole for a split second, "I definitely do." He responded with a deceivingly even tone.
"It's working! He just checked me out!" the girl inwardly exclaimed near-girlishly. She was surprised by how much she was enjoying this. He was obviously attracted to her and she wanted to know how much, against her better judgement. Gohan stepped down into the hot water before taking a seat on the upper ring , leaving only his chest and above dry.
Videl saw her chance and swiftly dropped into the water next to him. The water nearly reached her chin and she grinned inwardly at her new plan, "Gohan…I hate to bother you but this water level is too high, could I sit on your lap, just so I don't have to worry about inhaling any water or wetting my hair too much?" she asked, biting her bottom lip shyly.
"O-Of course Videl, I understand, um sure." He affirmed with a nervous tone that made Videl grin.
"Thanks Gohan, you're the best." She thanked as she sat her mostly uncovered lower half on his lap, receiving death glares and evil eyes from the other girls and she revelled in it, wiggling in Gohan's lap to stir both him and the swarm of girls up. Gohan gulped audibly and she felt a spark in her stomach. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all...
The hours of late evening passed quickly for the teens. Videl spent the whole time trying to balance being alluring and seeming innocent of anything intentional and it gave her a little excitement, which surprised her. But mostly she was just proud that she managed to keep Gohan's attention on her rather than the girls that pursued him. Meanwhile however Gohan was conflicted by his pride as a warrior and his undeniable attraction to Videl, further amplified by the memory of almost sharing a kiss with her during their training.
He decided it was a good time to get out the hot tub and socialise with the 2 blondes and he told Videl as much. She agreed with him and they climbed out the hot tub and began drying off with their towels. As they were drying a robot came out with their sleeping arrangements. It had a chart that had the lists of who would be staying where. Girls stayed with girls and guys stayed with guys as one would expect. Videl saw her name with Erasa and fist pumped, it'd be so much easier to put her plan in motion without some stranger watching her every move. She grabbed her stuff and took it back to her and Erasa's dedicated room.
Sharpener bopped Gohan in the shoulder with his fist, it hurt like he had just hit a wall or something but he ignored this and continued, "Yo Brains! You didn't tell me you were jacked!" Sharpener remarked good-naturedly.
Gohan just smirked at him, "You never asked me, nor did a conversation ever come up where me saying, 'yo by the way I lift' would be relevant."
"Ohhhh, so you're a smart ass are you? Alright let's see if you got the muscle to tussle with us-le!" Sharpener challenged loudly, causing Gohan to raise a brow at him.
When Videl returned she found Gohan doing a push-up competition with Sharpener and a few of the other boys. Some had already dropped out and were staring in amazement as Gohan kept going, only Sharpener and one other were still going. The crowd chanted each push-up as they were completed.
"60! 61! 62! 63!-" at that moment the 3rd guy dropped to his chest breathing heavily. Sharpener saw this happen and became fearful. He too was exhausted and was barely hanging on through it, trying to outlast Gohan. They broke 70 seventy and Sharpener felt ready to collapse. He looked to the side and saw that Gohan was smiling! There wasn't a bead of sweat on him and he hadn't slowed down or changed at all. This guy was insane! Lacking the strength and willpower to continue against this unstoppable machine, the blonde teen gave in and allowed his body some much needed reprieve. The child went wild cheering Gohan's name as he stood up, the winner. Sharpener lay on the ground, his muscles burning and his throat dry, drenched in sweat. Erasa ran over and helped him, pulling him up to his feet.
Gohan came to stand infront of the panting boy. "Guess this means I've got the muscle?" Gohan asked sarcastically making Sharpener laugh.
"Yeah, you're one bad motherfucker Gohan." While everyone was buzzing in excitement or moping in disappointment about their room arrangements and just generally enjoying themselves a gruff loud voice suddenly split the air, silencing them all. Everyone looked in the direction of the door and saw the short, blue and white-clad husband of Bulma standing at the door, "Gohan." Vegeta stated seriously and with no context. The teen in question noticed that Vegeta had used his real name rather than some insulting nickname and knew it was important.
Gohan turned and started walking towards the man, leaving everyone confused, "Gohan, dude! Where are you going?" Sharpener called out to him.
"Sorry guys this sounds important, I'll be back." Gohan assured as Vegeta stalked back down the hall, Gohan jogged after the stout warrior and disappeared inside.
Everyone remained quiet for a little while, staring after where the two had left, "Gohan sure is one mysterious guy..." Erasa commented, earning a nod of agreement from Sharpener and a few others.
Videl looked on worried with concern, wondering what could be wrong now. Just then she got a buzz on her watch. She looked and it was a message from the chief. When she read what it said her eyes widened and she bolted after Gohan, hoping to catch him, leaving everyone even more confused.
"Videl wait! Where are you going!?" Erasa called out, receiving no response at all. "What's going on with all this Sharpie?" Erasa asked in concern, biting her thumb nail out of nervousness.
The blonde jock didn't know how to respond to that question, he merely put a reassuring hand on his friend's shoulder and wondered privately. Something very strange was definitely going on all around Earth.
Meanwhile Gohan stood before a television beside Vegeta for the second time that day. Eyes wide and features of shock on his face. Vegeta looked at the boy out the corner of his eye as he spoke, "I have lived on this planet for many years now. The populace has always been ignorant, stupid, fearful and war-mongering, almost more so than the Saiyan's themselves. But something about this doesn't feel right at all..." The proud prince explained to the younger fighter who nodded mutely,
"...Gohan..." Vegeta called. Gohan's eyes darted to the corner looking right at Vegeta, "I would advise you to not go..."
Videl entered the room right at that moment, expression and posture that of a frenzied person, "Gohan! I just got the message from the chief at Satan City! They-!" She stopped abruptly when she saw the new's headline on the tv before them, and her blood ran both hot from rage and cold from fear simultaneously.
"SAIYAMAN, PUBLIC ENEMY NO.1!"
Okay now this chapter took a little long but I have an exciting announcement. The original owner of this account and the author of previous work "Poor Mr Son" stopped writing the story for lack of passion for writing anymore. However he has agreed to draw up a MANGA for this story all the way up to the end of the Buu Saga! It'll probably take awhile to catch up to where this fiction is but if you want to see all the action and drama unveil in manga form then follow the profile 'SSJ-Homeboy' on Deviant Art and he'll start posting chapters ASAP. Some will be out sooner than other's mind you depending on how much effort has to go into each drawing, but they'll come up.
Edit: He just put up an early concept sketch for Gohan on the account now
And no just so you know the manga will not be done in colour in it's initial run, it may be coloured and touched up after it is completed supposedly so let's hope for that coz I personally find the Black and White confusing sometimes.
