Foreword: Since Youtube has stopped allowing ad block to be used on it's platform, I've put more time into working on Some Help. Just so you know, forcing people to pick between paying for safety online or risk malware and hacking is technically extortion and punishable by 10-14 years imprisonment in Australia. Enough with corporate greed, we have a story to enjoy and I hope you do so let's start this show!
Bansuri gave the flattest stare he could to the person standing in front of him, the recipient of this unimpressed look fidgeted and looked away from being under such scrutiny. The person was wearing a black bodysuit beneth a green tunic that had a bright red cape attached by clips on the shoulders, white saiyan style boots and gloves with the top of the head obscured by a helmet that had to antanae jutting out of it.
Bansuri: "...that outfit is awful."
Saiyaman: "N-no it's not! It's cool!"
Bansuri: "...do you think your poses are cool too?"
Saiyaman: "Yeah, they make me look heroic"
Bansuri: "...maybe the trip to Namek left a mark."
Saiyaman: "What? I'm completely fine"
Bansuri: "So your poses don't remind you of the Ginyu Force?"
Saiyaman: "...that doesn't mean anything"
Bansuri: "Trauma has many forms Gohan, there's no shame in talking to someone about your feelings."
Saiyaman: "...did you talk to someone?"
Bansuri: "I did, it was very therapeutic"
Saiyaman: "...was it V-?"
Bansuri: "Yes it was Vegeta and they talked about their feelings too. I'm not getting into details but talking it out helped him too, notice how he isn't a major prick any more?"
Saiyaman: "Huh, I thought he mellowed out because he had kids..."
Bansuri: "That is also a factor, yes"
Saiyaman and Bansuri stared at each other in the allyway before Bansuri smirked and teleported away, leaving Gohan confused until...
Videl: "Saiyaman!"
Saiyaman: "Eek! I must go!"
Saiyaman launched into the air much to Videl's anger, the girl stomping her feet in anger as Erasa, Sharpner and Gohan walked into view of the alley. Videl looked at Gohan and then to the figure flying away before giving a sour look and stomping out of the alleyway, Erasa and Sharpner looked confused but Gohan was quietly relieved that Videl hadn't figured out he was a clone yet.
Gohan: "Man that outfit is cool..."
Sharpner: "Heh, it's the lamest and dorkiest thing I've ever seen."
Erasa: "I dunno, those black tights are definitely nice to look at...what do you think Videl?"
Videl: "He's a vigilante, how he looks doesn't matter 'cause I'm gonna catch him!"
The quartet walked from the alleyway and returned to the class field trip they had walked away from due to Videl spotting Saiyaman, said class now clamoring around World Champion Mr Satan who had happened to be passing through on his was back home from an advertisement of one of his many products with his face on it. Videl's shame of her father was Gohan's saviour against Videl's continued scurtiny, at least for the moment.
A purple-skinned being stared at Planet Earth through a crystal ball, his white mohawk swaying in the breeze as well has his ear rings decorated with yellow orbs, his red skinned attendant looming behind hiim sharing in his concerned frown. These two beings both had large pointed ears and had within them the aspect of Creation, simply put; they were Kais.
Red Kai: "Are we certain that Babidi has found Majin Buu on that planet?"
Purple Kai: "Given how he has integrated his ship into the world itself, there is no question that not only has he found Buu's egg, but has set about gathering energy for the egg to hatch"
Red Kai: "Damn, there is no helping it then. We must go to Earth and find Babidi to stop his destructive ambition."
Purple Kai: "Then let's make haste and travel to Earth"
The red Kai nodded in agreement and after a moment's hesitation the two vanished from the Realm of the Kais, the two internally praying that none of the helpless inhabitants had run afoul of the evil wizard and his strongest minion; the Demon King Dabura.
In a dark room illuminated by candles, a small yellow creature gazed hopefully at a dial that showed it was only the tiniest bit over empty for what ever was being monitored. While the amount was small, the progress was far quicker than it was before due to converting two of the locals into loyal minions, said men being fighters with a grudge that Babidi didn't care to pay attention too and simply used the wickedness within them to put them under control. They were nothing compared to his favorite minion Dabura but they had their uses; like being normal enough to move around without having too many questions being asked which was helpful due to a whole tournament coming up and he needed Yamu and Spopovich to participate to find people with strong energy to help Majin Buu awaken.
Dabura: "I have observed these rodents in the past and I can assure you that none of them are even remotely capable of even stalling your plans master. The two new slaves are more than capable of crushing any competition these humans can muster."
Babidi: "Excellent news Dabura. The millions of years of preperations I have made for this day are about to bear fruit! With Majin Buu under my command I will conquer this world then make those damn Kais pay for killing my father!"
Babidi cackled with delight at his hard work paying off and at the idea of seeing the Kais crushed underfoot with the weapon he now had. Babidi simply needed to wail a few weeks until the tournament began.
Dabura: "Hmph! What a pathetic title; 'Strongest Under the Heavens'. I doubt these foolish mortals know the full scope of how insignificant they are in the grand scheme of things."
Babidi: "Oooh, they'll get a clue when Buu is revived and when we lord our power over them"
Dabura: "I will relish their screams when the time comes"
Babidi: "As will I"
Both Dabura and Babidi let out malicious laughted at the suffering that will soon occur, will their plans come to fruition? Will they be stopped? Find out next time on Some Help.
Bonus Scene: Great Saiya-Style Change.
Gohan: "Since the tournament rules say that helmet's aren't allowed, I have to figure out how to hide my identity a different way during the tournament. Any ideas?"
Bulma paused and considered how to hide Gohan's very noticable hair and eyes, the of shaving Gohan's head being funny but impractical and reminding her of Roshi.
Bulma: "Hmm, how about shades and a bandana? That'll keep you covered and let you fight."
Gohan: "Hmm, let's give it a try and see how it works"
A quick application of sunglasses and a bandana later, the Great Saiyaman now had a tournament legal version of his costume. Vegeta and Bansuri entered the room from the direction of the Gravity Chamber looking battered from training and both paused to look at Gohan's new look.
Bansuri: "...the problem with the outfit wasn't the helmet, it was the red cap with the green tunic and the white and yellow boots."
Vegeta: "You're outfit looks like some stupid cosplay"
Bansuri and Bulma both raised eyebrows at the fact 'Cosplay' was in Vegeta's vocabulary, both silently asking for clarification for how the word got there.
Vegeta: "...Bulla told me about it"
Bansuri: "...What a doting father"
Bulma: "Anything for 'Daddy's little Princess', right?"
Vegeta stomped away with a flushed face to get a drink, leaving behind the chuckling Bansuri and Bulma and the cooing Gohan.
Bansuri: "...should I make a big pretty princess dress for Bulla?"
Bulma: "Sure, but make it Vegeta sized..."
Bansuri gave Bulma a confused look and was about to question it when he paused then broke into laughter, holding his stomach as he cracked up with Bulma joining in.
Bansuri: "P-haha! Princess Vegeta HAHAHA!"
That comment put both Bansuri and Bulma into further hysterics, the two shedding tears from how hard they were laughing with Gohan trying to stop himself from joining in but still letting out chuckles.
