A/N: Here, we finally have the 1st chapter of the rewrite for "Dragon Ball Super" starting with the Battle of Gods! And this time, it'd start off with the events from episodes 73 and 74 of the original, but with a more, shall we say, "Super Hero" feel to it, if you know what I mean...
Dragon Ball Super: Battle of Gods
Chapter 1: "Gohan and Videl's Plight!; A Preposterous Saiyaman Film Adaptation?!
First, it showed a planet exploding in space before then showing a small, pink villain with menacingly black sclerae and red eyes laughing and then eventually fighting Goku, whose hair was now long, golden, and spikey, trading blows with one another as Kibito Kai, Elder Kai, and Dende watched with concern on Namek. It wasn't long before Vegeta even had a run for his money going up against the villain.
Narrator: "Previously on 'Dragon Ball Z', the inhabitants of Earth faced the most terrifying foe they'd ever seen and it seemed nothing would remain. But Goku and Vegeta made a desperate final stand."
Then, everyone raised their hands and lending their energy to Goku's Super Spirit Bomb, astonishing Hercule, who gasped in awe before the monstrous villain looked up to see Goku holding the Spirit Bomb right before tossing it at Buu, who barely managed to hold it back only to be met with Goku in Super Saiyan form, who then promptly pressed hard with a yell, causing the spirit bomb to incinerate Buu into pieces and explode without a trace left as Goku and Vegeta then gave thumbs-up to each other in celebration before then showing Shenron in the sky with Goku then speaking to everyone in the lookout before then showing the Earth and several other planets seen from the galactic sky of a sort of asteroid where, as old, cheesy music plays on a tape recorder, Jaco was eating at a UFO-looking restaurant as the chef hands out a bowl of noodles to the Galactic Patrolman.
Narrator: "Then, Goku summoned a massive Spirit Bomb, drawing on energy from all the revived people of Earth, who rallied to help because of Mr. Satan's plea. And as more energy flowed in from across the universe, this mighty Spirit Bomb proved too powerful for even the destructive alien magic of Majin Buu. 6 months later, using the power of the Dragon Balls, humankind's memories of Buu's terror and destruction were erased, and the planet has enjoyed 2 more years of peace. Until one day..."
"Here you go, pal.", the chef offered as he handed the bowl to him.
"Oh, yeah, it's noodle time!", Jaco exclaimed in joy.
Then, he said a sort of quick prayer as he was getting the chopsticks ready and split them from each other.
"Thanks for the grub.", Jaco gratified before he then added some seasoning and then began eating as the chef grew puzzled.
"Mmm, hm-hmmm! So good!", Jaco said, the noodles still in his mouth.
"You sure you're supposed to be eating in duty?", the chef puzzled.
"Eh, it's fine.", Jaco assured before the chef had another question.
"Mmkay, but what about that?", asked the chef, looking at the ship before Jaco turned back to it and knew what he was talking about.
"Oh. Him. That's Watagash. Don't be fooled by his appearance. He's on our most-wanted list.", Jaco warned, practically astounding the chef.
"Whoa, sounds dangerous!", the chef exclaimed.
Jaco, however, saw no reason for alarm.
"Oh, calm down. He's locked up tight. And I promise you, there's no way he can escape.", Jaco assured.
However, Jaco was about to be proven wrong as the jar then began to break apart with but a glitter on the cotton ball antenna.
Then, the ramen chef asked another question out of concern as Jaco continued eating.
"Even so, is now the best time to stop? Shouldn't you take him to straight to prison?", asked the chef.
"Even Super Elite Galactic Patrolmen get hungry, all right?", Jaco only retorted before Watagash then burst out from Jaco's ship, surprising the chef and Jaco as it then flew off far away, and even seemingly blinked out like a star.
"Uh, say, Pops?", Jaco asked as the chef walked out to join him.
"Yeah, what?", asked the chef.
"Would you mind making an official statement that despite my many objections, you forced me to stop for some ramen?", asked Jaco.
The chef only turned to Jaco and objected.
"I'm filing a complaint.", the chef responded.

First, it showed the one-star dragon ball close-up before zooming away to reveal the other 6 dragon balls along with it. Then, it zoomed away past the sun with the 1-star Ball stopping and then becoming encased in a bright light, which spread to create a whole outline of the logo, which is only revealed when the glow faded right before the symbol flashed in appearance next to the two main words before the dots, representing the Japanese kanji for it appeared one by one.
"DRAGON BALL SUPER"
After a moment, the symbol flashed again, this time showing Goku holding Goten, who pulled out several turnips by accident along with the one he intended to pull out. Chi-Chi was taken aback by this and was not the least bit happy about it at all. She even chewed out Goku and eventually grew furious enough to chase after Goku as he carried Goten while yamcha, Oolong, Puar, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Master Roshi watched.
Then, it showed 5 stars coming together only to scatter with said stars becoming dots on a green radar held by Bulma, who watched as Vegeta and Trunks had a friendly spar. Afterwards, it then showed Videl walking up to Gohan and baby Pan only for a quake to be seen with Hercule rushing after a playfully fleeing Buu, who carried Bee, while Baby Pan dropped the ball before Android 18, Krillin, Marron, and Cocoa, the royal-blue colored human-turned alien, popped up with grins to Gohan and Videl before showing Piccolo turning around.
Next up, it showed Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan stepping forward toward a bright blue light, which then showed Whis and Vados emerging first before then showing Beerus and Champa, whose backs were against each other, prompting the trio to charge at them. Then, it showed Vegeta jabbing and elbowing the Frieza force soldier and then strike again with a hard punch, launching him back and sending him crashing down to Cocoa, who fired her blue eye beams at the soldier blasting him towards Gohan, who elbowed him in the gut right before hitting him hard with a backhand to the face while Goku was shown blocking the kicks and striking back, though his kick was more successful.
Afterwards, it showed Hercule's champion badge flashing with Cocoa appearing by his left as well as Jaco appearing on his right, both doing their respective poses with Cocoa making a heart and Jaco doing his usual pose before Gotenks turned up only to diffuse back into Goten and Trunks with Majin Buu appearing from below.
Next up, Cocoa and Videl unleashed their auras with Goten and Trunks doing so before it showed Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan while zooming away before Goku went Super Saiyan 3 while Gohan went Ultimate and Vegeta turned Super Saiyan 2.
Finally, it showed Goku and Gohan side-by-side with red energy waves passing by Goku, briefly showing his red eyes with black irises and crimson hair while for Gohan, his energy waves were silver and violet, even briefly showing his red eyes with black irises and long, silver hair with a bang sticking out before both auras exploded with Shenron appearing and emerging from below and behind them before then soaring with Gohan, Videl, Cocoa, Piccolo, Krillin, Goten, Trunks, Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Vegeta, and Goku soaring before Goku stopped and descended with Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan landing in front of the group with smiles of determination, accompanied by them, Hercule, Android 18, Marron, Majin Buu, Bulma, Puar, Oolong, Master Roshi, and Jaco.

Act I
Later, in the morning, Gohan was finishing up on his report before he then stretched himself. Suddenly, he heard an eerie noise that spooked him, prompting him to turn back around and see Piccolo holding onto a little baby girl.
"Oh, hey. Piccolo's here.", Gohan grinned.
Joyful, he went over to the window and then opened it.
"Papa!", Pan cooed happily before Piccolo handed Pan back to him as she giggled.
"Thanks for your help. Sorry we have to keep asking you to watch over Pan.", Gohan apologized.
But Piccolo was not in the mood.
"Don't give me that. What's up with you lately, anyway?", Piccolo asked.
"Well, I'm doing a research report. They found these ants on a southern island. Not your ordinary bugs by any means.", Gohan began as he got out his laptop and then held it out to Piccolo, showing a black ant and a glowing, golden ant for comparison. "As you can see, when the nest is in danger, they transform and give off a golden glow. Like they're going Super Saiy-ant!"
But that only made the Namekian angrier.
"I don't care what you're working on, Gohan! Do your Saiy-ants matter more to you than your own daughter, huh?! IS THAT WHY YOU CAN'T LOOK AFTER HER YOURSELF?!", Piccolo shouted.
That had Gohan a bit scared.
"Of course not! But you can still watch her every now and then, right?", Gohan asked.
Piccolo only growled in annoyance.
"Piccowo?", the little baby asked before Piccolo sighed in defeat.
"While I've got your attention, when was the last time you did any kind of training? What if some new world-ending evil shows up?", Piccolo asked.
"Eh? Do you really expect that to happen again?", Gohan asked, making the namekian growl angrily. "Why worry? No one's gonna threaten Earth now. Dad and Vegeta are here. Plus...", Gohan began.
But Piccolo, having lost his patience, struck at Gohan, who blocked the arm on instinct.
"You weren't thinkin' I'd gone soft, were ya?", Gohan asked.
But then, Gohan was struck in the gut and nearly collapsed. Pan giggled at this on account of a funny face Gohan apparently made when he was hit.
"Really...?", Gohan groaned.
As soon as he recovered, Piccolo held out his hand and changed Gohan's outfit from his normal clothes to the similar demon clothes that Piccolo was wearing, weighted shoulder-pads and all, but with the inclusion of olive-brown shoes with rounded tips and black wristbands.
"That's heavy...!", Gohan grunted.
"Didn't have too much trouble with it as a kid.", Piccolo smirked.
"This is gonna make it harder to focus on my research...!", Gohan grunted.
"Quit complaining.", Piccolo responded just before Videl gave a surprised yell, catching him and Gohan by surprise.
Piccolo growled in worry before he and Gohan both ran off, back towards the living room.
"What's wrong, Videl?", asked Gohan as he and his mentor caught up, only to find that the only surprise is what's on the TV.
"Look at this!", Videl exclaimed, puzzling Gohan and Piccolo.
"Huh? What the...?", Piccolo asked as the TV showed a teaser of a sort of movie coming soon as it showed Hercule fighting the Great Saiyaman before it then showed the Great Saiyaman and Saiyawoman on the left side of the TV and Hercule on the right before the title of the movie appeared.
"Coming soon to a theater near you! Great Saiyaman and Great Saiyawoman VS. Mr. Satan!", the narrator exclaimed as Piccolo and Gohan looked on puzzlingly as the Namekian blinked a couple of times.
"Uhhh...", Piccolo said.
"Huh?!", Gohan exclaimed in puzzlement at the same time before it then showed Barry Khan on a rock near the ocean and turned to the camera as the waves crashed against the rock before it then showed a sort of super-popular idol turning to the audience and giving a cheerful pose as her hands form a heart before it then showed a comical clip of Hercule standing on top of the Earth.
"Starring, in the role of Great Saiyaman, the mega-popular superstar, Barry Khan! Featuring super-popular idol, Cocoa Amaguri as his love interest, the Great Saiyawoman! And playing the legendary combat sportsman Mr. Satan is none other than Mr. Satan himself in his acting debut!", the announcer proclaimed, still baffling Piccolo, Videl, and Gohan as Pan giggled.
"Now filming. Follow us on social media for updates.", the narrator finished as Mr. Satan practically hogged the camera.
Gohan was quite puzzled.
"What? A Great Saiyaman movie?!", exclaimed Gohan.
"Sure looks like it! And one where he fights Dad, too!", Videl replied.
"But what would he possibly have to gain from making something like that?", Piccolo puzzled.
Later, Hercule was speaking with his daughter over the phone.
"Ah, so the teaser finally dropped, huh? Sorry I couldn't give you a heads-up. The industry loves their non-disclosure agreements. It's a whole thing, y'know.", Hercule responded before he chuckled and Videl then responded back.
"For goodness' sake, sounds like you've gone completely crazy. What is going on here?", asked Videl.
Hercule then had to explain.
"Well, babe, it's like this: Barry, you know, Barry Khan? I call him Barry. He approached me outta the blue, practically begging me to appear onscreen with him.", Hercule explained as Barry was driving in his red car to Hata Bros. Studio where a crowd of fans were there, surrounding him, or at least they would've been were they not blocked by the security guards as Barry Khan makes his way there before he then had a news interview.
"Hey, Barry, can we get a comment from you? So, in real life, the Great Saiyaman and Great Saiyawoman were a two-bit hero duo who was all over the papers for a minute, but then vanished into oblivion without a trace, right?", asked the newswoman.
"Yeah, you could say the couple didn't leave much of a cultural footprint.", Barry replied.
"So then, why'd you choose to make a movie about such 'unappealing superheroes'?", the newswoman asked.
"A thoroughly appealing guy like me needs a challenge. It's called acting.", Barry responded as he then took his glasses off and then grinned as his teeth shimmered.
Meanwhile, Gohan turned and saw that Piccolo was leaving as did Videl.
"You're heading back already?", Videl asked.
"Do you want us to pick you up another one of those plushies you like?", Gohan asked.
Quickly, Piccolo turned around and snapped.
"NO! I NEVER LIKED THOSE THINGS AND I NEVER WILL!", Piccolo shouted before flying away in a huff.
As he flew, he gave an embarrassed look.
"One was too many...", Piccolo sighed.
Later, as the crew was chatting the A.D. was surprised to see Barry Khan.
"Oh, good morning, Mr. Khan!", the A.D. greeted nervously. "What a beautiful day to make a movie."
However, Barry didn't feel the same.
"Hey, you, A.D.", Barry only spoke.
"Uh, yeah, what's that?", asked the A.D.
"You know that teaser?", asked Barry.
"You mean the one they released yesterday?", asked the A.D.
"Replace it.", Barry spoke, surprising him.
"They called the project 'Great Saiyaman VS. Mr. Satan', which is wrong. The full official title is 'Barry Khan in: Great Saiyaman VS. Mr. Satan'!", Barry explained before the A.D. had to explain the reason for it not being included.
"Uh, that might be too long for our lunchbox...", the A.D. began only for Barry to snap at him.
"JUST REPLACE THE DARNED THING AS IN NOW!", Barry shouted, taking the A.D. aback.
"Of course! Uh, sir, what do we do now?", asked the A.D., only to notice that the director was practically shaken by Barry's yelling.
Barry was quite peeved at what he considers a rather egregious oversight.
"Jeez. Try and remove my name. Show some respect! This is my movie, and don't you forget it.", Barry warned before the P. A. called over to him.
"Mr. Khan, we need you in wardrobe! Pronto!", the P. A. called before Barry then headed over there.
Meanwhile, Hercule, Videl, Gohan, and Pan were checking out the studio.
"Oh, wow. So this is where they make movies, huh?", asked Videl, impressed with the setup.
Gohan had only one visible regret, as non-regrettable as it seemed.
"Man, I wish I coulda brought my Dad to see all this.", Gohan spoke.
Then, Hercule probably guessed that there was little to no point.
"Well, if he's off training, there's no pulling Goku away.", Hercule guessed.
Meanwhile, as King Kai, Gregory, and Bubbles looked on, Goku practically sneezed downwards before placing his finger below his nostrils.
"Ah-choo! Uh, big one!", Goku spoke.
Back on Earth, Cocoa then called out to Hercule, catching his attention.
"Mr. Satan! Oh, it's so good to see you!", Cocoa shouted as she giggled and ran over to him.
"Oh, hello, Cocoa!", Hercule greeted in a surprised manner before he chuckled.
"I missed you so much.", Cocoa admitted as Hercule practically blushed.
"To think, we just met each other yesterday.", Hercule blushed.
"Hey, let's give it our all today, okay?", encouraged Cocoa.
"Well, since you asked so nicely, I'll give it a shot!", Hercule replied before laughing, embarrassing Videl and Gohan.
"Oh, Mr. Satan, you're so funny!", Cocoa commented.
"Oh, uh, forgive me. Where are my manners? I forgot to introduce you.", Hercule spoke before he then introduced her. "Uh, this is Ms. Cocoa Amaguri."
"I'm Cocoa! The super-popular idol!", Cocoa introduced before Hercule introduced her to Gohan, Videl, 21, and Pan.
"This, here, is my beautiful daughter, Videl, and my son-in-law, Gohan. The girl with the red and blue dress is 21. And that little cutie is my granddaughter, Pan!"
"We're sorry for interrupting your schedule, I'm sure you're busy.", Gohan apologized as Pan giggled.
Then, Hercule tried to expose his secret.
"Oh, and Cocoa, you'll be shocked to hear this, but, despite his mild-mannered appearance, Gohan is the real Great...", Hercule began only for Videl to cover his mouth and stop him from blowing Gohan's cover.
"DAD, NO!", Videl shouted, puzzling Cocoa.
Then, Gohan had to explain.
"We're actually trying to keep this a secret.", Gohan whispered before Hercule tried to object only for Videl to be adamant.
"But this is your chance to be famous!", Hercule assured before Videl objected.
"I hate to break it to you, Dad, but not everybody has the desire to be famous like you! Besides, Gohan's boss at the university is a real stick in the mud! If he finds out the truth, Gohan'll lose his position for sure!", Videl reprimanded as Gohan giggled nervously.
Then, at that point, Barry then cleared his throat, catching everyone's attention.
"Oh! Hey there, Barry!", Hercule greeted.
"Good morning!", Cocoa greeted as well.
Then, Barry took Videl's hand and raised it with his own, puzzling her.
"Um...", Videl puzzled before Barry spoke.
"So, which agency are you with, sweetie?", asked Barry, puzzling Videl.
"'Scuse me? What do you mean 'which agency'?", asked Videl.
Then, Barry nonchalantly responded.
"Oh, how silly of me. It's just that you're so beautiful, I assumed you were an actress, or at least an extra.", Barry explained.
Then, Hercule laughed before speaking.
"Classic Barry! You got excellent taste. This here's my daughter.", Hercule introduced.
"Oh, is that so?", Barry playfully asked as Pan gave a mad look and grumbled, puzzling Gohan.
"Pleased to meet you. I'm Barry Khan.", Barry introduced. "If you'd like, I can give you an autograph, anywhere you want."
Then, Videl only gave an angry look for a moment before she then grinned and politely refused.
"Oh, no thanks.", Videl refused as she then removed her hand from Barry Khan's, shocking him.
"Now, If you'll please excuse us. Let's go, honey.", Videl spoke as she turned and walked away with Gohan, who was carrying Pan, following her.
"Coming, dear. Heh.", Gohan assured.
"Bye bye.", Pan spoke, leaving the bewildered Barry Khan behind before he then noticed the camera crew from the news and quickly grew embarrassed.
"Well, uh, apparently, she's illiterate. My autograph would've been wasted on her.", Barry fibbed in embarrassment before he chuckled.
"Reading, am I right?", asked Barry.
Gohan was quite puzzled.
"You could've just humored him, y'know.", Gohan suggested.
"I know, but I don't want it.", Videl explained.
"Big star's autograph?", asked Gohan before Videl turned to Gohan with a grin.
"Hey, listen, Gohan. You're a much bigger deal to me.", Videl assured with a grin, puzzling Gohan before she giggled and Gohan eventually joined her.
Later, a tank was on the set as the A.D. spoke through the megaphone.
"All right, everyone, we're shooting Scene 26! This is Great Saiyaman and Great Saiyawoman's first big action sequence where they narrowly dodge the charging tank at the last second.", The A.D. spoke as Gohan turned to see two Stuntmen, one for which is a woman, filling in for him and Cocoa, especially in more technologically advanced suits with the helmets even have glowing yellow eyes on it.
"Wait, Barry and Cocoa aren't doing it?", puzzled Gohan.
"Yeah, he's always saying how he wishes he could do all the stunts himself, but unfortunately, the suits won't let him, 'cause if an A-list star gets injured, they've gotta shut down production. But otherwise, he totally would. As for Cocoa, she said that she's very shy about it because she ain't used to the superhero gig, movie or otherwise, so her stuntman offered to help with her action sequences.", Hercule replied.
"They're so brave.", Videl replied.
"Okay, but what about those suits? They definitely look new.", Gohan said.
"Yeah, well, the director said he prefers the edgy type of superhero movies. Says it gives them more depth to their character, hence this scene.", Hercule explained.
"Okay, guys. we're all set.", the stuntwoman assured before the A.D. spoke.
"All right, picture's up! Aaaand...", the A.D. began before Barry interrupted.
"Hold on a sec!", Barry shouted, puzzling the A.D. ""I just want to make one minor adjustment."
"Uh, sure. What is it?", asked the A.D.
"Instead of leaping away like a chump, right before it hits him, he leaps inside the tank and the other one grabs that tank and smashes them to the ground once everyone was evacuated. That'll make us look more heroic, you feel me?", asked Barry.
"Well, if we rig up some wires, then maybe...", the A.D. suggested.
However, Barry refused, shocking the stuntman.
"We're not using wires. One of the selling points in my movies is I never use them.", Barry replied, causing the stuntman to holler.
"What?!", the stuntwoman exclaimed
"If you can't do it, you two're fired. Oh, and I'll make sure neither of you work in this business again.", Barry threatened, causing not only the stuntman to panic a bit, but also making the stuntwoman angry.
"You're insane!", the stuntwoman shouted.
"Hey, Barry. Don't you think that's askin' a bit too much?", Hercule asked in worry.
Then, Barry retorted in response.
"'A hero is one who, no matter what obstacles may arise, refuses to give up and always answers the call to fight'.", Barry quoted, puzzling Hercule.
"That quote sounds familiar.", Hercule admitted before Barry spoke.
"It should. It's a quote from the first brilliant page of your memoir. A truly great book by a man among men.", Barry responded, appeasing Hercule as Barry smirked.
"Wow, you really do have a ton of respect for me, don't ya? I'm touched. I'm deeply touched!", Hercule asked as he then patted Barry's shoulder.
"First Page is the only one I read.", Barry thought before Hercule shouted to the stuntman.
"Hey, Mr. and Ms. stuntmen, give it your all!", Hercule shouted before chortling as the stuntman dropped down in worry as the stuntwoman growled.
"Not cool, Dad!", Videl added as she and Gohan walked over to the A.D.
"Excuse me, sir?", asked Gohan, catching the A.D.'s attention.
"Huh?", puzzled the A.D.
"Is there any way you'd let me do the stunt instead?", asked Gohan, surprising the stuntman and worrying the A.D.
"And me, too, please?", Videl asked.
"For real?! You two're no stuntmen!", the stuntman exclaimed.
"He's right, an amateur couldn't possibly handle the...", the A.D. began before Barry interrupted him.
"Go on. Let him.", Barry suggested, surprising the A.D.
"Barry.", the A.D. spoke.
"I know why you want this. You think if you appear in my movie, you can brag about it and impress women, am I right?", Barry guessed.
Videl knew better and thought differently.
"That's not why!", Videl shouted.
Then, Gohan's reply broke the ice on both sides.
"Actually, you're right,", Gohan replied, puzzling Videl.
"Gohan?!", Videl puzzled.
"I was thinking when Pan's a little older, we can show her the movie, and she might get a kick out of seeing her Dad as a superhero.", Gohan assured, surprising Videl before she grinned.

Later, both Gohan and Videl were in their new Great Saiyaman suits as they did a pose to get ready a few moments before the A.D. spoke.
"Okay, Mr. Gohan, are you ready to go?", asked the A.D.
"Sure am!", Gohan responded.
"Anytime you are!", Videl added as Barry scoffed and focused his eyes on Videl and then turned to Pan as he thought back to how he was embarrassed from earlier.
"Embarrass me, will you? Hope you enjoy watching your husband get horribly disfigured.", Barry thought.
"All right, picture's up! Scene 26, Take 13! Ready, slate, and action!", the A.D. shouted as he then began the scene before the tank began rolling toward Gohan and Videl.
As the crowd watched, Gohan and Videl waited for the right moment as Pan watched with a hopeful grin as Hercule seemed puzzled. Then, after a few moments, Gohan then jumped at the last second above the tank, surprising Barry and the others while Videl, Pan, and Hercule were excited for him as Gohan then burst into the tank and out with the driver before the tank went haywire only to get grabbed by Videl lifted up toward the other side, and then smashed into the sand pile just as Gohan safely landed the pedestrian to the ground.
"What the heck?! Who are you two?", the pedestrian asked before Gohan then answered in a serious voice as it showed a spotlight behind him.
"I am the lightning that sparks in the night. I am the unmitigated champion of justice who tolerates no evil!", Gohan began as he then began his pose from way back when he first assumed this identity and finished his pose, this time with lightning sparking out from said pose before Videl landed beside him.
"And I am his partner of justice.", Videl added.
Then, Videl dipped backwards as Gohan held her before they moved back as Videl stood up and then posed together.
"We are...!", Gohan and Videl began before finishing said poses.
"The Great Saiyamen!", Gohan and Videl finished, making Pan coo in gasping awe.

Act II
Gohan yawned as he was holding a bag with the Great Saiyaman clothes in it.
"Man, this is turning into a major hassle.", Gohan sighed as he flashed back to what happened earlier.
The crowd was practically amazed with Gohan's exceptional talent.
"Oh, wow! That was awesome, dude!", the stuntman exclaimed.
"Can't believe you two're such natural talents.", the A.D. added as Gohan and Videl took their masks off. "You two may be the best I've ever seen."
"He's right, you know.", the Stuntwoman added.
"Thanks.", Videl grinned.
That took Gohan aback before Barry shouted to him, and reprimanded him, much to Videl's disgust as she glared at him.
"Hey, just a minute, hot shot! Those silly poses you struck weren't the ones I choreographed!", Barry reprimanded before the director shouted back at Barry.
"Is there a problem with that?!", the director asked, catching Gohan and Barry by surprise before Barry turned to see the director, who then removes his glasses to show some fire in his eyes.
"I asked if you had some kind of problem with that, kid? Well, do ya?", asked the director, practically threatening Barry, who then panicked and had to escape the situation.
"Uh, no. I, uh, I think I hear my agent calling! I'll be in my trailer if anyone needs me!", Barry shouted before he ran away, practically scared, making Videl giggle.
"So, Gohan and Videl, was it?", asked the director.
"Uh, that's right.", Gohan replied.
"Mm-hmm.", Videl nodded.
"I've never seen anyone with so much talent. I'm making you two my lead stuntmen. Why, with you performing feats like that, this picture just might be my masterpiece.", the director spoke.
Gohan only brushed the back of his head.
"Huh, well, when I put the suit on, I guess I just kinda got into the role, but I'm not really cut out for all this.", Gohan sighed.
However, Videl insisted as she scooted over to him while picking Pan up from Hercule.
"Oh, why not? With the mask on, nobody has to know who you are, right?", asked Videl, surprising Gohan.
"But, Videl...", Gohan began before Videl whispered into his ear.
"Plus, it reminds me of the old days, and that's kind of a rush.", Videl whispered, surprising Gohan before Hercule pitched in.
"You've gotta do it, Gohan. This my movie's my big break, so I need it to be as spectacular as possible!", Hercule whispered, making Gohan chuckle in embarrassment.
Later, elsewhere, Videl was paying a visit to Bulma.
"Wait. You want what?!", Bulma asked in surprise.
"An update for my Saiyawoman Suit.", Videl replied, holding up a bag for her costume.
"Oh, is that all? I'm surprised you haven't asked about that for a long time. Lucky for you, I managed to put it together some time ago just in case.", Bulma responded.
"Really? That's great!", Videl grinned.
Later, Videl was now wearing her new Saiyawoman Suit modeled after the costume she wore some time ago during the movie shoot.
"Whoa! That looks awesome! Thanks, Bulma!", Videl grinned.
"Anytime, Videl. Don't mention it.", Bulma grinned.
Then, Videl flew out in her new Saiyawoman Suit as her helmet was being formed from the back of her head.
"Time to give this new uniform a spin.", Videl smirked before the helmet finished forming with the bright yellow lights shining brightly when the helmet finished before she took off.
Meanwhile, Gohan was stumped as he sighed.
"How am I gonna memorize this whole script?", asked Gohan.
Then, he suddenly noticed a bank robbery in progress.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there's a bank robbery in progress! Please evacuate the area immediately! I repeat, please evacuate immediately!", the policeman shouted as Gohan then decided to run in, but not without looking for a private spot.
Once he found it, Gohan got out the suit, which opened up, revealing all kinds of high-tech stuff inside.
"I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing all that.", Gohan said in amazement before he stepped inside with the armor closing from bottom to top, fitting quite nicely around him before the helmet closed, covering his face.
Just then, Videl saw Gohan getting ready to charge in.
"Huh? Is that Gohan? Now, it's really like the old days!", Videl grinned before she headed off towards where Gohan is.
Meanwhile, Krillin was confronting the two robbers.
"We've got this place completely surrounded! Drop your weapons and surrender!", Krillin shouted, only for the big robber to turn around and cock his weapon.
"Why should we?", asked the robber just as another with a yellow beanie joined in.
"What? Are you trying to be some kind of hero? Charging in here all by yourself?", asked the second robber.
"No way this shrimp is a match for our military-grade gear!", the robber exclaimed as it showed 10 workers were shown to be raising their arms.
"Yeah, just look at him!", the second robber agreed as Krillin got into a stance.
"Take this!", the robber exclaimed, shooting the energy bullets at Krillin, only for him to dodge the bullets quickly before he then landed.
"Had enough yet?", asked Krillin.
The robbers then gasp in surprise before Krillin spoke further.
"Like I said, drop your weapons and...", Krillin began only to be interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Surrender!", the Great Saiyaman and Great Saiyawoman exclaimed before both burst through the walls, making their debut as he chuckled, only to notice that Krillin was practically pelted with debris from the wall and then gasp in response.
"Oops. That's not good.", Great Saiyaman stated before the two robbers grew surprised.
"Guess we need to be careful, huh?", Great Saiyawoman said, puzzling Gohan.
"Huh? Great Saiyawoman?! What are you doing here?", Great Saiyaman asked.
"I just feel like you could use some help.", Great Saiyawoman replied.
"Yeah, but... How'd you know to come here?", Great Saiyaman asked.
"The news. It's not that hard to figure out.", Great Saiyawoman replied.
"Whoa, is that you?!", the second robber exclaimed, catching both Great Saiyamen's attention.
"And what's with the new high-tech duds, let alone that chick?", the first robber asked.
"I am...", Great Saiyaman began before the second robber interrupted.
"The Great Saiyaman, we know! And you must be the Great Saiyawoman we heard so much about!", the second robber exclaimed, puzzling him and Videl before he spoke further. "C'mon, don't pretend you don't recognize us!"
"Hold on. They know you from somewhere?", Great Saiyawoman asked.
Then, the Great Saiyaman had to take a trip to memory lane to try to remember them.
"Uh... Lemme think. Lemme think.", Great Saiyaman spoke as the two robbers growled before he finally figured it out.
"Ah!", Great Saiyaman exclaimed before it went to a flashback of the last time he fought them, which was a year ago, before the World Tournament that revealed the presence of Babidi and Dabura as one robber was repeatedly punched in different places.
"Oh, no! Please, no!", the second robber exclaimed before being bonked on the head before the Great Saiyaman turned to Videl, who still had long hair back then.
"What should we do with these two, Videl?", asked Great Saiyaman in the flashback before it went back to the present with which he finally remembered them.
"Oh, I know you guys, now! You were the bad guys from that heist! That sure takes me back. So, how you've been?", asked Great Saiyaman as Videl remembered when she met them before.
"Oh, that's right. Back when I figured that Gohan was the Great Saiyaman all along.", Videl thought before the second robber to snap at him.
"How do ya think we've been?!", the second robber exclaimed angrily, taking Gohan aback.
The second robber then reprimanded him, not knowing that Watagash was creeping through, behind the robbers past the debris.
"Thanks to you, we were locked up behind bars until yesterday! Ooh, there wasn't a day that went by in there we weren't thinkin' about what we'd do to you! And now that we're finally out, we can pay you back for what you...", the second robber shouted before the 2nd robber suddenly tensed as a red aura came over him before he went limp and slowly fell down.
Meanwhile, Jaco noticed that Watagash's usual red signal had changed to a blue color, puzzling him.
"Uh-oh. What is he doing on Earth?", asked Jaco before he hurried back to Earth.
Back on Earth, Piccolo opened his eyes with a gasp, apparently breaking from meditation at his remote place at the mountains before turning toward the source.
"I'm sensing some bad energy.. And it's coming from over there.", Piccolo said before taking off toward where the bad energy was at its strongest.
Meanwhile, the first robber ran over to the second robber.
"Hey, what's wrong? Did you just fall asleep in the middle of a heist? Seriously, who does that?! Hey, get it together!", urged the first robber.
"SHUT UP!", the second robber shouted in a distorted voice before smacking his partner to the wayside, from behind, worrying and surprising Gohan and Videl.
"Hey, that guy was your partner! What was that about?!", Great Saiyawoman exclaimed in shock.
"You stay out of this, bro... I don't know what happened to me, but... right now, I'm feeling so powerful, like I could clobber just about...!", the 2nd robber began as a cotton-like antennae formed on the top his head. And what's worse, his eyes glowed a blank red and he bulked up while getting slightly furry, worrying Gohan and Videl.
"ANYONE!", the 2nd robber roared right before dashing toward Great Saiyaman and then began trying to punch him, only to miss with Great Saiyaman barely keeping up.
"What got into this guy?", Gohan thought as he struggled with the 2nd robber laughing intensely before sending Gohan flying upward with a punch and chasing him as Great Saiyaman tensed.
Then, the robber tried to attack with a backhand armswing only for Gohan to flip out of its path.
"Hey, take it down a notch!", exclaimed Great Saiyaman before kicking him back down to the bank in time for Great Saiyawoman to kick him into the ground.
Of course, the robber quickly got back up as the Great Saiyaman got on top of a police car and Great Saiyawoman on top of another.
"This oughta put a stop to this.", Great Saiyaman spoke as he cupped his hands together and began preparing a Kamehameha.
"Ka... Me...", Great Saiyaman began before Videl spoke up.
"Gohan, wait...! Look...!", Videl whispered before he realized that the policemen were watching.
"Oh. Whoops.", Great Saiyaman spoke as he knew that they can't see that, so he went for the next best thing. "Great Saiyaman Beam!"
At that moment, he prepared a small yellow orb on his finger and then flicked it to the 2nd robber, knocking him out as they appeared to be dazed out.
Just then, Piccolo arrived in time to see the robbers knocked out and Watagash leaving its host behind and going into hiding, making Piccolo tense.
"So, that's where that bad energy was coming from...", Piccolo thought.
"Can't leave this guy hiding around.", Piccolo said to himself.
Then, the policeman spoke out loud through his megaphone.
"Well, all right, then! Let's move! Secure the perps!", the policeman shouted before Krillin spoke to Gohan and Videl.
"Hey, Gohan, Videl! Just what do you two think you're doing?", asked Krillin before Great Saiyaman and Great Saiyawoman then had to keep their respective covers from being blown.
"Sorry, sir, but I'm not Gohan. I'm the Great Saiyaman!", Gohan spoke.
"And I'm the Great Saiyawoman.", Videl added, only peeving Krillin a bit.
"Come on, aren't you two a little old to be dressed like that?", Krillin whispered before Videl whispered back.
"It's kind of a long story.", whispered Videl, earning Krillin's sigh before Gohan then noticed Watagash going through a sewer grate, puzzling him before Piccolo shouted.
"Hey!", Piccolo exclaimed, catching Great Saiyaman's attention.
"Huh? Oh, hey, Piccolo. What's up?", Gohan asked as Piccolo also noticed that Videl's back in the Saiyawoman gig with Gohan.
"Hi, Piccolo.", Videl greeted.
"I'm not even going to ask why you got back into it.", Piccolo said to Videl before turning to Gohan.
"Listen. I sensed some bad energy nearby and I found out the source. It looked like a squiggling dandelion.", Piccolo said.
"Squiggling dandelion?", Gohan asked.
"Exactly. So, be sure to keep an eye out for that thing. There's no telling what that thing is actually capable of.", Piccolo responded, earning Gohan's nod.
Then, Piccolo realized something.
"Wait a minute. If you two're here, then who's watching Pan?!", Piccolo asked in worry.
"You don't need to worry. She's back at my place. Dad and Chi-Chi are supposed to be watching her right now.", Videl responded.
Speaking of, Pan was playing building blocks with Hercule while Chi-Chi was making food.
"Well..., so far so good...", Chi-Chi sighed in relief.
Meanwhile Cocoa was walking home.
"I still can't believe it... Gohan and Videl are the real Great Saiyaman and Great Saiyawoman." Cocoa said excitedly.
Then, all of a sudden, something made a noise causing the poor woman to jump in fright.
"Hello? Is someone there?," Cocoa asked looking around.
Then another noise came, scaring her again.
"If this is some kind of prank, it's not funny!" Cocoa shouted out, scared now.
Then, the noise came right behind her making her jump and look down to see a small and weird looking creature.
"Aww. Well, aren't you the cutest looking thing I've ever seen.", Cocoa said picking up the small creature gently.
The creature then started crawling up her arm.
"Hahaha, stop that! It tickles! Hahaha!", Cocoa laughed as the creature made its way to the top of her head.
Then it let out a warbling noise as it began to glow brightly, blinding Cocoa. After a moment, the flash of light faded and Cocoa saw that the creature mysteriously vanished.
"Huh, where did it go?", Cocoa asked out, loud looking around before what appeared to be a dandelion popped out of her head.
"What in the world!?", Cocoa said in surprise.
Then the dandelion started warbling, speaking to Cocoa in her mind as her body started gaining more musculature.
"Wait, you're… here to help me?", Cocoa asked the alien, said alien nodding in agreement.
"But who are you?", Cocoa asked as a bump appeared behind her just above her butt.
As she looked back, the bump grew larger and larger until it burst from her pants revealing a long, slender tail, she tried moving it and to her surprise it swished back and forth behind her.
"What are you doing to me? And why do I have a tail now?!", Cocoa shouted out in surprise as her skin gained a slight blue hue and her hair grew longer and turned brownish blue.
The next day, the news were all over the place.
"Last night, a man and woman claiming to be the Great Saiyaman and the Great Saiyawoman foiled an attempted bank robbery. The vigilantes' true identities remain a mystery. However, many people believe it to be part of an elaborate viral marketing campaign with some even suggesting the man in the Great Saiyaman costume and the woman in the Great Saiyawoman costumes may have been film stars, Barry Khan and Cocoa Amaguri, themselves.", the news reporter spoke as it showed Gohan's fight with Broly before it showed him flocking the Great Saiyaman Beam before flying off and then the bank with the walls damaged from the fight before it showed Barry Khan and then the TV turning off.
The next morning, Gohan and Videl were at the Hata Bros. Studio.
"Morning, everyone!", Gohan greeted.
"Nice work!", the D.A. admitted.
"What do you mean? We haven't even done another scene yet?", Videl puzzled.
"Yeah, we saw the news!", the stuntman added, puzzling Gohan and Videl.
"Huh? What are you talking about?", Gohan asked.
"Look at this guy! He's so modest!", the stuntman reacted.
"Modest?", Videl asked.
"You two took the costume home with you last night, didn't you?", the A.D. guessed.
"And the Great Saiyaman and Great Saiyawoman we saw on TV was...", the stuntwoman began, worrying Gohan and Videl, before Bulma got everyone's attention.
"Hey, you guys!", Bulma greeted, distracting them from the discovery.
"Oh, Bulma! Can we help you?", asked the A.D. as Bulma walked over to the crew.
"Actually, there's something I need to apologize for.", Bulma only responded before holding out the papers and began explaining.
"Really? What's that?", asked the A.D.
"Regretfully, I think this must've been the suit that was stolen from my lab.", Bulma explained, puzzling the crew. "You know that replica of the Great Saiyaman and Great Saiyawoman costumes that I put together for the production? Well, I also made a spare suit just in case the first one was damaged during filming. Unfortunately, we had a break-in at the lab, and the back-up suits were stolen. But, on the bright side, at least the thieves used them to fight crime and not perpetrate it, right?", Bulma explained.
"Wow, are you sure?", asked the A.D.
"Yeah, I was convinced Gohan and Videl, here, were the Great Saiyamen.", the stuntman added.
Gohan then had to cover it up.
"What? That's ridiculous. There's no way that could be true.", Gohan fibbed.
"Yeah. We were just rehearsing our lines.", Videl added just before Barry shouted.
"What are you all standing around for?", asked Barry before the crew noticed Barry and panicked.
"The talent's on set. Don't make eye contact! Scatter!", the A.D. whispered as they then fled as Barry shouted to Gohan.
"Hey!", Barry shouted.
"Uh, yes?", Gohan puzzled.
"Don't come on my set acting like a big shot. Just 'cause you and your wife can do a few measly stunts doesn't make either of you hot stuff.", Barry calmly reprimanded as Videl gave a slight stink face at him before Gohan then ended the conversation.
"Sorry about that. We'll just go change into the suits now.", Gohan apologized before he and Videl then took off with a smile, thinking to himself.
"Thank you, Bulma. Thank you, thank you, thank you!", Gohan thought.
"That was a really close call!", Videl thought.
Later, Gohan and Videl were having a talk with Bulma.
"You really saved our bacon back there. That was quite a performance.", Gohan complimented before Bulma stated otherwise, although also pointing out the bright side.
"That story was pretty implausible, so it's lucky for you two, film folks are used to gaping plot holes. I gotta say, though, you two haven't changed at all, getting carried away whenever you put those outfits on, high-tech or otherwise.", Bulma commented, slightly embarrassing Gohan.
"Yeah, sorry.", Videl apologized.
"Your heroic exploits are fine, but you have to be sure to always put your family first, okay?", Bulma suggested.
"Right, of course.", Gohan agreed.
"You got it.", Videl agreed, neither him, Videl, nor Bulma knowing that Cocoa was listening at the door as she was drinking something from a cup and then giggling as the creature warbled curiously.
Later, Gohan and Videl were just finishing up on their stunt.
"The Great Saiyamen!", Gohan and Videl exclaimed in a serious voice.
"And cut! Brilliant!", the director shouted with joy.
"Great, we got the shot! That's a wrap, everybody! Thank you. I'll see you all back here tomorrow...", the A.D. spoke as Gohan and Videl took the masks off and then sighed before Cocoa got their attention.
"Gohan. Videl. Smile.", Cocoa spoke, puzzling Gohan and Videl.
"Huh? Hey, Cocoa. What's up with the new look?", Videl greeted.
Later, Cocoa just explained the situation and told Gohan and Videl her request, puzzling, if not shocking, them a great deal.
"What?! You've been transformed by a small creature?!", Videl asked.
"And you want to rehearse your lines with us?", asked Gohan.
"Sure do.", Cocoa replied as Gohan then began backing up to a wall, only for Cocoa to catch up to him at the same pace as Videl looked worried for Cocoa's part.
"Yeah, but wouldn't you rather work with a real actor? Someone who knows what the heck they're doing?", asked Gohan.
"Yeah, or maybe even see someone about this?", Videl asked.
"No, Gohan, it has to be you and Videl. Please?", asked Cocoa.
"Yeah, but...", Gohan began only to hit a dead end before Cocoa spoke further.
"This is a pivotal scene between me and Great Saiyaman, and it's not like I can ask Barry to do it with me.", Cocoa explained before she then whimpered like a puppy before Gohan quickly had no choice but to concede.
"Uh... Fine, we'll do it.", Gohan agreed.
"But along the way, we need to figure out what's going on and see if it's good or not.", Videl added.
"Lucky me!", Cocoa exclaimed as she twirled around once.
Later, Gohan and Videl, still in their new suits, and Cocoa, in her normal clothes despite her tail sticking out, were outside in the same spot where Bulma and Gohan were talking earlier.
"I'm confused. We thought that you wanted to rehearse back at your place.", Gohan admitted before Cocoa turned around to face Gohan and Videl.
"That's right.", Cocoa assured.
"Then, what are we doing up here?", asked Videl before Cocoa then explained.
"Well, I was thinking maybe you two could just fly me back home.", Cocoa replied, puzzling Gohan and Videl.
"I must say, I was quite surprised. Imagine, the Great Saiyaman who thwarted those bank robbers was a little old couple like you! I may have accidentally heard you and Bulma talking up here earlier.", Cocoa stated, shocking Gohan and Videl before he had to try to talk her out of it.
"Uh, listen, Cocoa.", Gohan began, only for Cocoa to turn around and tell him that it's okay.
"Hey, don't worry about it. Your secrets are safe with me.", Cocoa assured, calming Gohan down.
"Thank goodness.", Gohan sighed.
"But in return for my discretion...", Cocoa began, puzzling Gohan.
Later, Cocoa was on top of Gohan's back as he was flying around with Cocoa sightseeing.
"Oh, wow! It's so pretty! As long as we're up here, do you mind taking the long way there? This is amazing.", Cocoa requested.
"Okay, sure.", Gohan agreed before he did so.
Later, Gohan and Videl were still flying above the city.
"Ooh! It's even prettier at night!", Cocoa exclaimed.
"Had enough yet?", asked Gohan.
"I guess so.", Cocoa replied.
"By the way, I've been meaning to ask. If that change happened last night, then how'd you manage to keep that under wraps?", Videl asked.
"Sometimes make-up is surprisingly useful.", Cocoa grinned as Gohan and Videl started to head off to Cocoa's place.
"All right, next stop: your place!", Gohan shouted before the pair noticed Jaco on top of his UFO.
"Is that... a UFO?", Cocoa asked.
"Who's that?", Gohan puzzled.
"I don't know.", Videl puzzled.
"Great Saiyaman and Great Saiyawoman...! I don't know who that is behind those masks, but I have no doubt that Watagash and his partner's hosts... AAAAAAARE YYYYYOU TWO!", Jaco finished as he posed, puzzling the trio before Jaco aimed his gun at them.
"That's weird. Do you two know this guy?", Cocoa said.
"Actually, no. That's the first time we saw him.", Videl responded.
"Great Space Cannon..., ENAGE!", Jaco shouted before the front of the ship opened up and revealed a cannon up front and Jaco aimed his gun at them.
"What?! Is he seriously gonna shoot us?!", Videl shouted.
"And now, I shall disintegrate you both, before you can cause me any more trouble here, Watagash!", Jaco glared.
Then, Jaco pressed the trigger before the Great Space Cannon fired right at the trio, causing Gohan, Videl, and Cocoa to exclaim in surprise and alarm.

First, it showed Gohan and Videl standing together in front of a bright white light shining from a hole before showing them glaring down with seriousness as Pan was being held up. Then, it showed Cocoa, whose skin was now completely royal blue while her hair is royal blue and her eyes are completely blue and lens-like, growing into a giant before then showing an evil monster's red, lens-like eyes glowing before blasting its eyes beams as well as Barry Khan, now infected by Watagash, smashing through the wall and tossing Gohan aside before then showing Barrygash powering up to a point that he seemed to be glowing before a red line zipping past a shocked Gohan and expanding to reveal lava behind him, stupefying the evil monster before Gohan got furious as he teared up, his eyes swirling red before they turned completely red with black pupils before roaring as the helmet broke apart and the blue aura overtook him, shocking the monster as Piccolo spoke all before it then showed the now-helmetless Great Saiyaman with long, spikey, silver hair and a bang, and red irises and black pupils full of quiet rage and anger as he was now shrouded in a violet aura with a silver white outline and purple lightning sparks before kicking the creature away with a vanish and a severe kick to the gut before then showing a half-mutated Barry roaring as his red eyes glowed right before showing Gohan stretching out his hand and preparing a kid blast with his outstretched palm in seething anger and an equally calm expression as Piccolo, Gohan, and Goku spoke.
Piccolo: "Hey, everyone! This is Piccolo speaking! Listen closely, Gohan. You have the potential to become the most powerful being on Earth. You have to believe in yourself and unleash that power! It's do-or-die time, so draw out all your strength and use it to protect your world and everyone in it!"
Gohan: "Right!"
Goku: "Next time on 'Dragon Ball Super'! 'For My Beloved Ones!; The Beast Within the Indomitable Great Saiyaman Awakens?!'"
Piccolo: "You better not miss even a second of it, got it?!"

A/N: And that concludes the first chapter of the Dragon Ball Super Rewrite. Pretty cool, huh? I think you can figure out what the next chapter would entail.
