A Simple Change
Chapter 3: News
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ.
AN: Attention passenger's this is your captain speaking. I just have a few quick announcements before he get back on course. Firstly I have to thank everyone who sent in reviews. Secondly and most importantly I'd like to know how you guys feel in regards to lemons. I'm asking this because I plan on making this story more realistic seeing as I don't think Saiyan's act the same way as humans when it comes to certain situations.
As such I think I'm going to make several things different than from cannon. One thing Videl will not be Gohan's first girlfriend. I've also heard several interesting theories concerning Saiyans that I'm thinking of putting to the test.
One such theory was that while Saiyans generally have one mate they often had sex with more than just that one mate. Hell I've even heard some where it was said that incest was okay on Planet Vegeta. This of course doesn't necessarily mean that there will be incest in this fic I'm just saying what I heard.
However IF I was to receive a shit load of request I would consider it. As of right now I'm trying to determine who Gohan's first will be here are the choices
Bulma
18
Lime
Videl
Erasa
Chichi
If it was to be Chichi I'd definitely have my work cut out for me to make it believable. The others I already know I could do. Hell I have half a mind to just let Gohan take them all at least once. I'm also taking votes if I should do a bit of Videl/Erasa or not. Well please give me your opinions on that so I'd know what my readers think. Now we return to our regularly scheduled program.
Stewardess please get that soda and peanuts to ShadowMajin.
Start Now
It was a bright day in the 439 mountains, the area that had been a home for the Son family for over a decade. Only one day had passed since the day that had managed to change the life of a single demi-saiyan. It was now that the previous day's event's finally caught up with him.
In just one day he had lost his father, a man he'd thought to be unbeatable in battle. He'd killed the same person who caused his fathers death and subsequently become the strongest fighter in the universe. He'd been promoted from a low class Saiyan to a First Class Elite. He'd become the Earth's new Protector in place of his father, and had finally broken free from the hell that was studying all day.
Just thinking about all this made the demi-saiyan want to just stay in bed all day, as he suddenly found himself exhausted even though he'd just woken up. Regardless he still forced himself to rise from the comfort of his bed and trudged into the bathroom. Emerging from the bathroom some fifteen minutes later he dressed himself in his black pants and a long sleeved white Chinese style shirt and a pair of black shoes.
Once dressed he left his room and headed downstairs towards the kitchen. About halfway there he stopped and glanced at himself in the mirror. Frowning at the reflection he grunted before his energy skyrocketed and he took on his Super Saiyan state. Smiling at what he now saw he continued to follow his nose towards the kitchen.
"Morning mom" spoke the boy with a smile.
"Good morning Gohan, and just where are you off to all dressed up?" spoke Chichi
"First I'm heading to Capsule Corp. to see Trunks off, then I'm going to be with Grandpa for the rest of the day." Answered the young demi-saiyan.
"Okay just be back in time for lunch." Said Chichi with a smile.
Gohan nodded as he removed his shirt and sat down exposing the white tank top he wore. The reason why was revealed as soon as the food touched the table and he was allowed to eat. Chichi sighed at that, Gohan while a good boy left much to be desired when it came to table manners but she supposed that was just another part of his Saiyan heritage showing. Kami knows both Goku and Vegeta had nearly identical table manners as her son it was amazing nothing ever got on their clothes.
Once he was done he threw his shirt back on and said a quick good bye to his mother before heading out the door. Stopping for a moment he considered going to check up on Icarus. While he knew the dragon was well off Icarus was still his closest friend and had been for about three years. He supposed that was probably the way most human boys felt about their dogs. He smirked at that thought, only a Saiyan could take a dragon as a pet.
With a smile he made up his mind and called for the Nimbus Cloud. The yellow cloud streaked through the air leaving a yellow streak behind it before stopping down in front of the boy. Without a seconds hesitation he hopped on and headed towards Icarus's cave.
An hour later found the demi-Saiyan flying over the streets of West City. He sighed however seeing a number of reporters outside the gates of Capsule Corp. shaking his head he turned and descended in the back of the building. Almost as soon as his feet touched the ground the magic cloud took off and disappeared into the sky.
Making his way to the door he quickly punched in his families four digit pass code and entered the large building. Unknown to most was that the Capsule Corporation building served as not only the labs and office's of its workers but the home of the Brief family as well.
While most of the labs were underground, the office's remained on the first two floors. Over that was the garden, and the Brief's living area over that. The bedrooms over that along with the guestrooms and the newly built gravity room, and recovery center taking up the top floor. The newly designed gravity room capable of going up to 200 times earths natural gravity. The recovery center home to some newly built and improved recovery pods capable of healing both Humans and Saiyans. Too say Bulma had been busy since becoming Vegeta's mate would be a huge understatement.
As he walked the demi-saiyan noticed the shocked looks that crossed the faces of several workers. Shrugging it off as none of his concern he pushed on to the elevator. Upon entering the elevator he simply pressed his thumb to the pad and punched in the floor number. Once the elevator stopped he stepped out into the garden just in time to hear one of Vegeta's yells rip through the air.
"WOMAN WHY ARE THOSE WEAKLING HUMAN'S ON MY LAWN" screamed the prince of Saiyans as he glared out the window.
"HOW THE HELL I'M I SUPPOSE TO KNOW" replied Bulma from across the yard.
"WELL GET THEM THE HELL OUT OF HERE"
Anything further Gohan failed to hear as he had taken his hands and covered his ears in an attempt to spare his rather sensitive ear drums. Looking over he could see Trunks simply slip a pair of earplugs in his ears before turning towards a buffet table. Without even realizing he had walked over and sat next to Trunks staring at the table with hunger in his eyes. Trunks seeing the boy's predicament simply gave him an extra pair of earplugs he had kept in his pocket.
Orange Star City:
Videl sighed as she listened to Erasa talk at speeds she could barely understand. Somehow the bubbly blonde had started ranting about her first kiss, and when it would happen, how it would feel and countless other things she wasn't paying attention to. She wondered absently if her life long best friend had been dropped on her head as a baby, it certainly would explain a lot.
Ox Kingdom Later:
The Ox King, Gyumao was a very well known figure when it came to the royalty of the world. In fact his own status was second only to the king of the world himself. His popularity was only added to when he became known as one of the students to the Turtle Hermit, Master Roshi.
He eventually became known as the king of Fire Mountain, even being nicknamed as the Ox Demon King. His massive strength was only supported by his massive size making him quite the intimidating site when angered. Such things however meant nothing to him at the moment.
He'd lived a long life becoming one of the most feared men on the planet. He had fathered and raised a daughter who in turn had a son of her own. He had watched his grandson go from a sheltered boy who scared easily to the strongest warrior in the universe and he was only eleven. He'd be twelve if you counted the time he spent within the Hyperbolic Time Chamber upon Kami's lookout. He however tossed that to the side as it was only a day in the real world.
Regardless he couldn't help notice the fact that he was getting old. Well defined muscle had given way to a pot belly long ago, though he still kept some of his muscle. His moves had become sluggish and he often found himself winded for things he could've done without breaking a sweat at one point. Black hair had long since given way to the gray hair that covered him now.
It was with these things in mind that he had made his decision. He'd already run it by Chichi who also thought it was a good idea. Even still he was nervous about this as it would forever change the life of his grandson putting him in the spotlight that could very well expose the secrets of his family.
With a sigh he shook himself from his thoughts before turning on the plasma screen TV in his room.
Capsule Corp:
Bulma sighed as she took in the people before her. These reporters had been in front of the gates all morning trying to get information out off her. Trunks had just left about twenty minutes ago giving her the opportunity to handle the annoyances called reporters. To her right stood Vegeta face set in his ever present scowl as he glared at the bugs before him.
If it wasn't for his mate, the food, and the fact he had no place else to go he'd have probably destroyed this planet long ago. If not that he'd have at least killed off all the blasted reporters. Fortunately for these bastards the people on this planet could at least amuse him while there was no fighting going on. Now all he had to do was wait for his mate to get rid of these insignificant peasants.
Gohan watched the whole thing through his room window. In all honesty he wasn't interested in going out there at all. In fact the only way they were getting him out there in front of all those nosey reporters was if a riot broke out, and with Vegeta out there he seriously doubted that happened.
It was for this reason he was content to sit in his room watching his Ghost Rider DVD. He didn't care what nobody said Eva Mendez was HOT and he'd blast you with a ki blast before he let anyone say otherwise. It was for this reason that he missed the entirety of Bulma impromptu press conference, as well as the shattering of the beliefs the people of the earth had held. Even still when asked years later he'd still say his time had been well spent.
Two hours later found the demi-saiyan walking through West City's mall. He completely ignored the shocked looks from people who looked in his direction as Bulma was walking next to him. Somehow the blue haired beauty had convinced him to get his ears pierced. He actually didn't feel anything other than a slight, barely felt tickling on his earlobes.
Looking at himself, more specifically his ears he saw two teal colored studs, one on each ear. After a second of thought he bought two black ones as well. Bulma herself had bought several things to have delivered to Capsule Corp. once her shopping was out the way the two headed back towards her home before Gohan headed towards his grandfathers.
Orange Star City:
Videl sighed as she relaxed on her bed after a relaxing shower. Erasa had somehow had one of her more ingenious ideas today which ended up with them swimming in her pool. The reason she labeled the idea as ingenious was because today was an incredible hot day around 95 degrees.
Erasa had left around thirty minutes ago, her mother having had to come get her due to an emergency. Unfortunately her moment of relaxation shattered as she heard the argument her parents were having through the walls. Not long later her mother entered the room with a scowl on her face causing the pre-teen to frown.
In her opinion her mother was the definition of the word 'Goddess'. This was also backed up by the fact that she was a world famous model. Her long black hair was tied in two pony tails that stopped just above her waistline. Her arms and legs were well toned and muscled, though not bulky like a male's would be. (AN: Just picture Kurenei from Naruto with black hair and eyes and C-cups.)
Just about anytime they were together the woman was smiling so seeing her scowl said a lot to the younger girl. The older woman sighed as she closed the door softly. Sitting on the bed she motioned for the younger girl to come over to her, which Videl obliged to.
"I'll be honest with you Videl, things between your father and I haven't been good for a while and this latest stunt was the last straw. I've filed for divorce, and I want you to come live with me." Said the woman causing the girls eyes to widen.
With Gohan:
Gohan stared. That's all he didn't blink or move an inch. He simply stared at the man in front of him as if silently asking if the man was serious. Upon receiving a nod from the man his eyes flew wide with surprise. He couldn't believe it, but he had just been offered the chance to rule over the entirety of the Ox Kingdom.
His mother had always been rather tight lipped when discussing her past. Sure his grandfather came around often but she never really discussed her past. But to her his mother had been a princess of an entire country shocked him to the core. It was only now that his mother's old nickname for him finally made since, he now understood why she would always call him 'little prince'.
A smirk soon found it's way upon the young warriors face. It looked like Vegeta wasn't the only prince in town now.
"Alright then Gohan you should know this status comes with a lot. You'll have to study and understand business and politics as well as you know fighting by the time you turn eighteen. You'll also have to learn how to run a country but that will come to you in time." Spoke the Ox King with a smile.
"Now this also comes with several bonuses the most well known of which is Diplomatic Immunity though I doubt you'll need it much. Now you'll also notice you will be offered to test out a lot of high quality products before they even hit the market. The ones you like you would even be allowed to keep."
"Normally you'd have to worry about the media a lot, but I'm not going to give your name when I make the announcement. The only people that will know of who you are would be those in your social circle. What you'll probably find most beneficial though is now even if your father someday returns your mother can't make you become a scholar." Finished the Ox King.
Gohan by the end of this was close to drooling at the prospects. From what he understood the Ox Kingdom was the leading technological distributor in the world. Hell they even had stock in Capsule Corp. Why his mother turned down leadership he'd probably never know. What he did know however was that things were definitely changing.
AN: That's it chapters done. Next chapter will be a time skip of six months. Things may be looking up for Gohan but he'll soon learn what happens when things start going to smoothly. Next Chapter: Enter Bojack.
