Enigma
Chapter 5
After a rather eventful game of Shoulder Wars/Chicken Fighting, the four teens headed back to their rooms. It was 5:00 PM. The time really did fly by. Bulma has announced that dinner would be served at 6:00 PM, so they had time to relax.
After both boys dried off and showered, they found themseleves sitting on their respective beds, watching TV.
"Looks like Saiyaman's has had nothing to do since we got here." Sharpener said.
"Hopefully it stays that way." Gohan replied.
"Why care? It's not like Videl is out there risking her life. It's just Saiyaman." Sharpener said with a chuckle.
"I don't know, I just like the peace I guess." Gohan lied.
"Yeah, I see what you mean. It's been forever since there has been a crime-less week." Sharpener responsed. [ AN: Sounds like Chicago (; ]
"Yeah. So, what's been your favorite thing we've done so far?" The half-breed asked his blonde friend.
"Not going to lie, that chicken fight was epic." Sharpener said. "But other than that...I'd probably say the Gravity Simulator thing. We should definitely test it out again tomorrow."
"Yeah, it's a lot of fun. You can also workout in there by increasing the gravity." Gohan informed his fellow student and friend.
"For real?" Sharpener said,
Gohan nodded. "Yup."
"I guess I did forget that you must know this place well, being Bulma's godson and all. What's that like anyways?" Sharpener asked.
"Hm? I really don't know. I'm just living my life." Gohan said with a chuckle.
"How did Bulma become your godmother?"
"My dad met her when they were little kids. They were really good friends, and once my dad and my mom got together, Bulma and my mom immediately hit it off and became best friends. Still are." Gohan explained.
"I hope this isn't a bad question, but what do you mean by Bulma and your dad were good friends?" The muscular blonde asked the jacked nerd.
Gohan sighed and looked to the ground. "He's not with us anymore." He answered. It had been years, but he still faced a little sadness when reminded of it.
"Oh, I'm sorry bro. I was hoping that wasn't the answer." Sharpener said, thoughtfully.
"It was seven years ago. I'm over it now." Gohan said, forming a fake smile in attempt to change the mood. "It's 5:45. We should probably get ready for dinner." Gohan said as he got up from the bed and stretched.
In the room just to the right, a raven-haired girl and a bubbly blonde girl were laying down on their beds.
Saiyaman hasn't appeared yet, but you could probably blame that on the lack of crime. But maybe...just maybe it is Gohan. He has the body. Videl thought, thinking back to the moments at the pool. Damn it Videl! Get your mind out of the gutters! She mentally told herself. Okay, he has the body. He showed up the same week as Saiyaman. They're both incredibly dorky, and he's only been at crimes that I've been at for the most part. Gohan and Saiyaman could be one of the same, but I'm probably just overthinking it. There is no way Gohan could be Saiyaman.
Erasa, on the other bed was staring off into space, thinking about the new kid who happened to have the best body shed ever seen. His chest, his abs, his legs, his thighs, his butt are all so perfect. She thought. I think I'm in love. Erasa thought, dreamily.
"Students of Orange Star Highschool. Please report to the cafeteria for Dinner. Mrs Briefs will once again be monitoring the cafeteria and providing assistance when needed." A voice on the overhead announced.
The hallway headed to the cafeteria in Capsule Corp went from being occasionally roamed, to being roamed by hundreds of students.
After a couple minutes, Gohan and Sharpener managed to make it to the cafeteria and stood in the line. "I'm starving." The spiky-haired teenager said, rubbing his belly.
"When are you not starving?" Someone asked, causing the half-breed to turn around. It was a certain raven-haired girl and next to her was a blonde girl.
"Hey Videl, Erasa." Sharpener said.
"Hey Sharpie." The blonde girl said. "Hey Gohan." She said almost dreamily with a cute smile.
Back off, he's mine. Videl thought. Wait what did I just think? I can't fall for a boy! I don't have time for one!
Soon, Gohan was in the front of the line. "I'd like the Son Gohan regular." He said, quietly, making sure no one other than his friends could heard him.
"Wait what did you just do?" Sharpener asked from behind him.
"I ordered my regular. I'm here quite often, so the robots know what I usually get." He told his male blonde friend.
"That's so cool." Erasa jumped in. "Must be cool to stay here and eat whatever."
"Yeah, the robots are good cooks. Not as good as my mom though." Gohan said with a chuckle. "I'm going to go sit in that corner once I get my food." He said as he pointed to the left corner of the room.
"Alright. We'll be there as soon as we get our food!" Erasa said happily. She always in a good mood, especially around dinner time.
Once the four got their food and were seated in the corner Gohan had spoken of before, Erasa began the talking-filled dinner period. "We should watch a movie tonight." Erasa suggested.
"I don't think there are movies in the rooms, so unless you brought some, we can't do that." Sharpener said after swallowing the chicken sandwich in his mouth.
"There aren't any in the guess rooms, but if we go to the room I normally stay in we can." Gohan suggested.
"Wait, what room?" Videl asked.
"The room I normally stay in when I stay here over night. There are movies in there. A ton of them." Gohan explained.
"Sounds good to me. At seven o'clock or so we can watch a movie or something." Erasa said.
"I'm in." Sharpener said, looking to Videl.
"Sure, why not?" She replied.
"Well, I'll have to show you guys where it is. It's across the building, she didn't even show everyone that part of the building." Gohan explained.
After what felt like hours of Erasa's gossip, the students were officially released to do whatever they felt like.
"I'm going to go back to my room to relax a little bit, we can go watch some movies afterwards." Gohan told the three.
"Sounds good." Videl said with a shrug.
About a minute or two later, Sharpener and Gohan arrived at their room. Gohan jumped on his bed and grabbed the TV remote. Turning it on, he switched to the Satan City News Channel.
According to recent reports, there is an undergoing gunfight outside the Satan City Mall, between the Satan City Police Department and the well-known Red Shark Gang. It does not appear that The Great Saiyaman or Videl Satan are at the scene. The female news anchor said.
"Damn." Sharpener said. "Think we should tell Videl?"
"Nah." Gohan said, shaking his head. "Going there from here in West City is way too long of a flight. We should just hope Saiyaman shows up." After finishing his sentence, Gohan gripped his stomach. "Ahh, I...need to use the restroom." Gohan said, running out of the room.
Sharpener just continued to lay on his bed. "There's a bathroom in here..." He started with a shout, but as he continued the sentence he realized Gohan was already gone. You would think he would know. I mean maybe there's a better bathroom or something? Sharpener thought with a chuckle. Meanwhile, Gohan darted through the hallways at a speed in which no one could even seen him. He managed to get out of the building without any interactions and flew off to the crime scene.
Man did it feel good to fly again. The young superhero finally made it to the Satan City Mall after a few minutes of flying in the light-less sky. He landed in the middle of the gunfight and ran towards the Red Shark Gang.
At the speed of light, with a kick to the jaw, he sent the first crook flying, before the criminal next to him could react, Gohan punched him in the temple, effectively knocking him out. Again, he moved so fast that he seemed to disappear and reappear behind another crook, as the crook turned around, the superhero punched him in the jaw, knocking him over.
"Saiyaman. Stay back. I'm warning ya." The biggest crook of all said, pointing a rifle at the young crime fighter. As the hero began to walk forward, the criminal walked backwards. "I'm warning ya." He said, but as Gohan kept moving, he put his hand on the trigger, and pulled it.
The half-breed caught every bullet, and at the speed of light, ran to the criminal and kneed him in the gut and then punched him in just north of his ear, causing him to lose conciousness.
Once his job was finished, the young hero took to the sky and was off.
"Thank you Saiyaman!!" The cop shouted, but Saiyaman couldn't hear the cop, he was already gone.
Minutes later, Gohan managed to make it back to Capsule Corporation and into the bathroom without anyone noticing. Once he got back to his room, a stretching Sharpener confronted him.
"You were gone like five years. I was starting to think you fell into the toilet." Sharpener said with a light laugh. "You'd think that someone who knows everything about this place would remember that there is literally a bathroom in this room." Sharpener said.
"Guess I forgot." Gohan said as he scratched the back of his head, giving Sharpener the typical 'Son Grin.'
"Yeah, whatever. Let's go get those two, it's almost seven." Sharpener said looking to the wall that stood in front of their two friends.
"Alright." Gohan said, opening the door and walking into the hallway.
End of Chapter 5
This chapter made me mad. Very mad. I wrote a 4500 Word Chapter. 4500. One of my longest chapters ever. The thing crashed. It crashed and I had to restart. (That's why it took so long to get this chapter out)
Hopefully you guys enjoyed it. It wasn't anywhere near as good as what the last one was like, but I guess it was for the better. I'll just wait to have some of the things I had previously done in the story.
Faux Fox: Lol, I'm a laid back dude, I don't really like writing a lot of drama between anyone. There will definitely be more as the story goes on and Gohan will get a little mad at times.
zfj: Haha, I thought the donut shop would be worth a laugh or two. And thanks, I try to have Sharpener as a laid back, funny dude that teases him a lot. I'm really a fan of both your current stories, and hopefully you can find time to update them.
Whoever made it this far, pat yourself on the back, most people probably haven't. Until next time!
