Chapter 10
CRANE GANG HIDEOUT
"Welcome brother it's been along time." Said Crane Master
"Indeed it has, I hear that you need of my services." Said Tao
"Yes I have some people I need you to rid me of. One you already know." Smirk Crane Master.
"I see, who are they?" ask Tao
"The city two crime fighters Videl Satan and The Gold Fighter, the two of them has been destroying my organization all across town and I won't stand for it any longer. Also there is a young girl I would also like to see gone." Said the Crane Master tossing Mercenary Tao pictures of each crime fighter, gohan (a normal picture when he hasn't transform) and Erasa. Looking at the second and third picture, Tao started laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" Ask Crane Master.
"That boy in the picture, he is Son Gohan." Said Crane.
"What, Son Gohan is the Gold Fighter but how do you know." Said Troy confused.
"Seven years ago I was working for a crime boss in a small village. He was bullying the town folks there to give him their money and in return he would protect them from the one know as Cell. Well everyone agree but an old man and his granddaughter. I was about to kill them when a little boy with blond hair and green eyes showed up and spoiled my plans. He then told me his father was Son Goku, a very powerful warrior and it appeared that he was just as strong as his father was at that age (yeah right). Unfortunately, I was unable to beat him at the time but that different now. I've greatly improve and with my new parts I won't fail again." Said Tao
"But how can Gohan be the Gold Fighter? They don't even look alike." Said Troy.
"Of course not, like any good fighter he hiding his identity. It just so happen that I know who he is by his own mistake. You see no one really know what I look like because they never lived to tell about it {Except for two fighters and a village}. He's doing the same thing by changing the way he looks." Stated Tao.
"Well now that we've gotten that out of the way I'll leave to do your job brother. Have fun, oh and take them with you. Let them see how a professional handle things." Said the Crane Master getting ready to leave.
"Very well, I'll do it just this once. Follow me." Said Tao.
"So what's your plan?" Ask Tom
"My plan is simple take out the strongest fighter first and that would be Gohan. After that killing the girls will be easy." Stated Tao.
"But how are you sure Gohan the strongest." Ask Lee (Yes they do know that Hercule is not the strongest, they have been training under the Crane Master)
Mercenary Tao turn and look at the other fighters studying them.
"I see, none of you can read ki, humph my brother must be slacking off on your training just like he use to do with Tien, and it will be his down fall once more. Well for your information I can read a person fighting level, for instance out of all you, he is the strongest." Stated Tao pointing to Troy.
"He's right." Stated Zane.
"Well now how are you going to get Gohan?" Ask James.
"Simple I'm going to fight him on my terms." Said Tao
"Good luck we've trying that and all we got was our butts kick." said Jason.
"You've have been getting your butts kick not me." Said Troy.
"Enough all of you. You may have think that you was fighting him on your terms but tell me something how many people was present." Asked Mercenary Tao
"No one but us and whoever we was attacking." Said James
"That's my point, he's just like his father, he likes to fight you where it just you and him and no one to interfere. But this time it will be different, I will make him fight me in public where any one will be my victim, just watch." Stated Tao
Friday Morning
Finally it was Friday, and Gohan couldn't have been happier. The last few days had been hell for him and he was just ready for this week to end. Entering his classroom Gohan found that no one he knew (or would talk to for that matter) was there. Smirking to his self he headed to his usually spot and sat down. Not to long after Videl and Sharpner entered the class room.
{Just great, as if things can't get any worst, I'm stuck starting the day off with these two idiots} thought Gohan
"So did they ever figure out what happen at your house, there was a 2 hour special report about it last night on the news." Said Sharpner
"No they can't find nothing." Said Videl glaring at Gohan.
"Damn that's to bad I know your father pissed." Said Sharpner
"Like I would care if he's piss, hell he didn't even speak to me, he just spent the whole time fussing with the police. AND TO TOP THAT OFF HE BROUGHT THAT BITCH WITH HIM."
"Whoa Videl chill. Listen don't let her get to you besides you still haven't got Erasa a gift yet." Said Sharpner
"Damn with all that's been happening I totally forgot about that. I guess I'll do it today." Said Videl. Looking again at Gohan, she remembered that Erasa parents had wanted him to come to the party tomorrow as well. But seeing that they didn't have his address they opted for her to tell him since she knew him. It would have been fine with her, except for the fact that they didn't get alone with each other.
{And spending another Saturday with Gohan isn't exactly on my 'to do' list} thought Videl
"Gohan."
"What?"
"Do you have anything plan this weekend." Said Videl
"If I do that's none of your business." Said Gohan {What is she up too, well whatever it is I'm not falling for it.} thought Gohan
" Listen, Erasa parents are giving her a surprise birthday party tomorrow and they asked me to invite you since they couldn't find your address." Said Videl
"I see, so I take it that they just told you yesterday to invite me today, doesn't that seems kind of odd to you." Said Gohan narrowing his eyes.
"No I was told last weekend and-
"And you decided to wait to the last minute to tell me, thanks." Said Gohan turning around.
"No you jerk I just forgot that's all!" Snapped Videl
"Sure whatever." Said Gohan
{I swear he's impossible to get along with, well I did tell him. It's up to him if he's going to show up.} Thought Videl
"Hi guys." said Erasa as she came and took her seat by the others.
"Hey."
"Hi Erasa"
"."
"So do you guys have anything plan today? I thought that we could go out seeing that I have to spend tomorrow with my parents." Said Erasa.
"Sorry but I have to go to the mall-" started Videl until she quickly realize that she was about to spill about the surprise birthday party.
"Oh, well maybe I can come with you, I sure you don't mind." Said Erasa grinning.
"No not at all." Said Videl
{Nice going Videl, just how are you going to get a gift if she's with you the entire time.}thought Videl
"Great so what about you Sharpner, I know you don't have anything plan you're coming too right." Said Erasa.
Sharpner was about to say no until Videl cut for him.
"Of course he's coming, he's driving us seeing that my jet copter broken." Said Videl
"That's right yeah." laugh Sharpner giving Videl a weird look.
Gohan though couldn't take it any more and burst out laughing.
{I can't believe that she's actually buying that. They can't lie worth a flip!} thought Gohan
"What so funny Gohan?" asked Erasa
"Just this horrible 'lie' I heard." said Gohan smirking at Videl and Sharpner
"Really what was it?" Said Erasa stopping Gohan laughter.
{Not so funny now Gohan, let see you get out of this.}Thought Videl
{Well I can't ruin the surprise. Even I'm not that evil, wait I got it!} thought Gohan
"Do you really want to know?" said Gohan smiling evilly.
"Uh now that I've thought about it no that's alright." Said Erasa not liking the look on Gohan face.
"Oh, okay then your lost." Said Gohan smirking.
"I want to know." Said Videl smirking.
"I would tell you Videl but I doubt if you would comprehend it." Said Gohan
{Why that son of a bitch! Urgg he is so dead} thought Videl
{Gohan 21 Videl 5} thought Gohan
"So Gohan why don't you come along to." Said Erasa
"Sorry but I already have something plan for this evening." Said Gohan
"Okay then if you have time you know where to find us." Said Erasa
AFTER SCHOOL
Gohan arrive home shortly having decided that he would go to the party honoring Erasa parents wishes despite the fact that he had just been told. But another problem arrive, what to get her? Gohan had been thinking about this on his way home but couldn't come up with nothing which left him no choice but to ask Bulma for help.
"Sure I will help you Gohan, just let me finish this program and we will be on our way." Said Bulma.
"Um, exactly where are we going?" ask Gohan.
"To the mall of course, I know the perfect gift that she will like. Oh Krillen,18 and Marron, will be joining us." Said Bulma
Gohan groan hearing this.

Gohan had been thinking about this on his way home but couldn't come up with nothing which left him no choice but to ask Bulma for help.
"Sure I will help you Gohan, just let me finish this program and we will be on our way." Said Bulma.
"Um, exactly where are we going?" ask Gohan.
"To the mall of course, I know the perfect gift that she will like. Oh Krillen,18 and Marron, will be joining us." Said Bulma
Gohan groan hearing this.
{Bulma + Krillen + Mall = HELL!
{It's bad enough that I have to go the mall with Bulma. But with Krillen and his family there he's going to be on my case about liking some girl, and I thought this day couldn't get any worst.} thought Gohan
AT THE MALL
Gohan stood with Bulma outside of the mall waiting on Krillen to join them.
"So what do Krillen need." Ask Gohan.
"Oh, he's looking for a gift for 18. Apparently he forgot their anniversary is coming up doesn't have anything for her. Men, " Said Bulma frowning as she began to talk about how uncaring men are.
{Me and my big mouth next time just keep your mouth close. Well it look like Krillen have some problems of his own, at least now I'll have some ammo against himwhen he arrive.} thought Gohan
"Sooooooo, if he forgotten her gift why is he bringing her along with him." Ask Gohan
"Krillen doesn't know it but Master Roshi told me18 heard him on the phone and is coming along to give him a hard time." Said Bulma
It wasn't long after that Krillen, 18 and Marron finally arrive and they headed in the mall.
************************************************************ ************
Videl smiled as she finally slipped away from Sharpner and Erasa and was able to look for a gift.
{Good thing I got Sharpner to lie about needing help picking out a new outfit. Now where to head first?} thought Videl as she tried to think of a gift that would suit her friend.
Looking around she spotted a fashion store and headed in.
************************************************************** **********
{Hmmm, he's at the mall, perfect he won't even know what hit him.} Thought Tao
"Head for the mall" said Tao
"Yes sir."
************************************************** **********************
"So what do you need here?" Ask 18 looking at Krillen.
"I need Bulma's help finding something." Said Krillen nervously
"Finding what exactly?" ask 18.
"It's embarrassing to say." Said Krillen
{I'll say} thought Gohan and Bulma together
"So tell me in my ear, Marron won't hear." Said 18 narrowing her eyes.
"Say this looks like a nice place to start." Said Bulma trying to change the subject. The only problem was the store she chose.
"You need Bulma's help with female's clothes?!! What do you think I am?" Ask 18 angrily
"No, no 18 I'm not here for Krillen, I'm here to help Gohan with his present for his friend. Said Bulma nervously.
{"What!"}Thought Gohan
Seeing that this would be a good time to change the subject Krillen began to smile.
"So it's a girl you're getting a gift for Gohan?"
"YES Krillen and before you start she just a friend." Said Gohan rolling his eyes.
"Sure she is." Said Krillen laughing and making love calls.
{Okay, so you want put this on me uh, well let see how you like this.}thought Gohan
"So Krillen I'm sure you have big plans for your anniversary." Said Gohan smirking and making sure 18 heard him.
"Yeah sure." Said Krillen laughing nervously.
"So what are you doing?" Ask Gohan
"Oh, you know something very special, um excuse me I think I see something over there." said Krillen as he headed to look at some other things.
Bulma could barely control her laughter listen to Gohan and Krillen conversation.
{Men. If they're not fighting physically then it verbally.} thought Bulma as she tried to think of a way to lose 18. The answer soon came to her as Marron began begging her mom to take her to the toy store.
"Say Gohan why don't you go with 18 and Marron to the toy store." Said Bulma
"That's okay Bulma, Krillen can go with me." Stated 18
"Come on honey, let Gohan go besides I doubt if we'll be in here long and this way you can get Marron a toy while Bulma help me, after she find Gohan gift of course." Said Krillen
"Fine come on Gohan." Said 18
{That gift she helping him with better be worth it or he'll PAY, dearly.}" Thought 18
"Hey 18, what's the deal I thought we was heading to the toy store." Said Gohan
"We are but for now I want to see how much money would I get for this wedding ring, I trust you know why." Stated 18
"Yeah I know." {Krillen is so dead if 18 hates her anniversary gift}thought Gohan as they headed inside.
{Gohan????} thought Videl as she back track and took another look inside the jewelry store.
Sure enough there was Gohan talking with some WOMAN and a CHILD holding what appeared to be a WEDDING RING!!! Unknowingly Videl frown at this.
{So this is what he had plan for this evening.And who the HELL is THAT talking to him. Whoa chill Videl, you do not like Gohan...do you?} thought Videl thinking about it for a few minutes.
{So I may like him a little but that no reason to go crazy just because I see him with another woman, is there????}
"Videl come on I have been looking everywhere for you. You won't believe what she has done. She has made buy over ten outfits, TEN, come on I'm running out of money." Said Sharpner breaking Videl from her thoughts.
"Huh-" started Videl
But before she complete her sentence, Sharpner had grab her arm and was dragging her behind her shuddering as he thought about Erasa picking out any more outfits.
********************************************************* ***************
"We're here Mercenary Tao."
"Good you guys follow me but do not interfere, this is my fight." Stated Tao.
************************************************************* ***********
"Alright Krillen that should just about do it for 18, now time to help Gohan, after that, how about we get a bite to eat." Said Bulma
"Sure that's fine with me. Now where are they?" ask Krillen as they headed into the toy store. After looking around, they finally find them in the back of the store.
{Finally.} thought Gohan.
Not to long ago he felt some unwanted people enter the mall and this was not the place to have their little `talk'.
{The sooner she get this gift the sooner we can leave.} Thought Gohan
"So did you get 'everything'?" ask 18
"Yep, we sure did, now lets go get Gohan gift." Stated Bulma
{It's bad enough that I have to go the mall with Bulma. But with Krillen and his family there he's going to be on my case about liking some girl, and I thought this day couldn't get any worst.} thought Gohan

"Yep, we sure did, now lets go get Gohan gift." Stated Bulma
“I thought you were getting that back at the other store?” ask 18
“……I was and I did, but I also thought of something that will complete the package.” Said Bulma quickly not wanting 18 to know the truth.
So the group headed to the fashion store where Bulma quickly pick out Gohan gift.
"So what exactly is this?" ask Gohan
"This is the newest makeup kit, brought to you by the one and only Capsule Corp. It has over one hundred choices of items to choose from lipstick to eye liners and can be taken anywhere. Base on what you told me about her Gohan I'm sure she will love this." stated Bulma.
"Alright I just buy this and we'll be on our way." Said Gohan
************************************************************ ************
"Ah there he is, well Gohan let's see how you handle this." Said Mercenary Tao as he shot a blast towards the fashioned store.
{What the-} "EVERYONE GET DOWNN!" shouted Gohan as he pushed Bulma to the ground.
********************************************************** **************
{Come on where are they, they have to be around here somewhere. I need to know who she is.} thought Videl
"Videl why are we going the long way around? It will be much easier to get to the movies going the other way." Stated Erasa
"I know that, I'm just looking for something." Said Videl
"I thought that you had already found 'something'" said Sharpner.
"Not that-
************************************************************ ************
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
************** **********************************************************
< font color="black">{What the hell was that, a blast but where, possible Satan City since I can also feel Gohan, that where Bulma is!}thought Vegeta
"Hey dad did you feel that?" ask Trunks. He and Goten who were sparring had stopped when they felt the blast as well.
"You two follow me and stay close we're going to check this out." Said Vegeta
{Cool we get to see our first battle.} thought both Trunks and Goten
Else where around the world the other Z fighters had felt the blast and was also on their way. The blast it self and completely blew a section of the mall apart. Luckily though, Gohan able to stop a portion of the blast keeping their store somewhat intact.
********************************************************** **************
"Is everyone alright?" ask Gohan checking to see how everyone was doing.
"We're fine but who ever shot that blast at us is dead." Stated 18 now holding a crying Marron.
{Okay no one was kill from that blast, at least from what I can tell but who shot it, The Crane Gang isn't close enough to have done that and from what I could tell none of them knew how to hide their ki. Besides I can still feel them, and whoever shot this was much stronger than them.} thought Gohan
"COME ON OUT BOY, I KNOW YOU STILL THERE." Said Tao
{That voice, I know that voice but from where?} thought Gohan.
"Krillen, 18, I'll handle this, get Bulma and the other people and go." Said Gohan
"I'm not leaving, that idiot could have kill Marron and he's going to pay." Said 18.
"And pay he will but let me handle it first, and if you think I didn't do a good enough job you can finished it." Said Gohan.
"……..Fine but I'll be watching Gohan." With that, 18 handed Marron to Krillen, grabbed Bulma and exited.
"Watch your back Gohan." Said Krillen as he followed 18.
{Well now that they're out of the way it time I meet the mystery guest, but first a little change is in order.} thought Gohan as he transform into SS1 and headed towards the door.
************************************************************ ************
Videl didn't know what had happen. One minute she was talking to Sharpner and Erasa (and of course looking for Gohan) and the next thing she know she was knock to the ground by some type of explosion. Now she was fighting her way through the crowd that was running from the opposite direction of the blast.
{What in the hell could have cost that} Thought Videl. One thing had cross her mind though and that was that she hadn't spotted Gohan or that WOMAN with him running through the crowd.
{I hope he-they're okay} thought Videl
************************************************************ ************
"Ah so you finally decided to show your self, I was beginning to think that I had actually kill you with at blast. And look you decided to come out with a makeover, how nice but you can't fool me 'Gohan'." Stated Tao
"Cocky now are we, well just to let you know that blast couldn't have hurt me if you had hit me with it at point blank." Said Gohan
{So it him, that guy from the village, Mercenary Tao, the one my father defeated all those years ago, and whom I scared away 7 years ago. Looks like he had a makeover as well. At least that explain why I couldn't feel his ki, he'spart machine, better be careful with him, from the look of things he's gotten himself an upgrade and a good one at that.} thought Gohan.
"Oh really, well it's good to know you've kept up your training, at least now you'll give me somewhat of a fight." Smirked Tao {That one bluff he should have kept to his self, he's stupid if he thinks that I will fall for that.}thought Tao
"Oh I plan on giving you more than that." Gohan getting into a fighting stance.
"Well we'll just have to see about that." Stated Tao as both he and Gohan charge at each other.
The two of them gave a thunderous punch that shook the building and sent Mercenary Tao flying through the mall crashing into a clothing department store. But in less than a second Mercenary Tao was back up charging Gohan once again throwing a series of punches and kicks faster than the average human eye could see. Gohan though dodge them all and on Mercenary Tao next kick caught his leg and begin swinging him around until he finally decided to let him go sending him through the wall and outside of the mall.
************************************************************ ************
"Hey guys what going on?"
The group looked up to see Tien and Yamcha landing behind them. The group had made it to a near by building and was now standing at the top of it waiting for Gohan to come out.
"We, don't know yet, but we will after Gohan get back. Where's Chiaotzu?" Stated Krillen
"He headed to Korin Tower just in case we need some sensu beans." Said Tien
"I hope Gohan alright, I wonder who attacked us?" Said Bulma.
"I don't know who it is, but whoever he is he's not from space." Said Krillen {I know I'll that power before but from where.}thought Krillen
"Are you sure Krillen?" Asked Bulma
"Yes."
"I could care less where's it from, what concerns me is that it knows how to hide it power and there may be others with him."
All turn around to see Piccolo standing behind them.
"The Nameck has a point. That thing also knew exactly where to find Gohan." said Vegeta as he, Trunks, and Goten landed behind him.
"Vegeta, why did you bring them here?" Ask Bulma pointing to Trunks and Goten.
"Don't question me woman, besides you rather me leave them unattended." Ask Vegeta.
"No but you could have took them to my mom." mumble Bulma
"What happen to your clothes." Ask Vegeta
"We were caught in the blast, but Gohan got me out of the way." Stated Bulma.
"Great just what we need." Said Krillen as he pointed to the news helicopter flying over the mall.
Their conversation came to an end as they heard a crash and look to see and object flying from the mall.
************************************************************ ************
{What the}
After finally getting through the crowd, Videl was quickly coming up to the scene of the blast when she heard another loud crash. Not taking any chances she dove to the side. After nothing had happen, she looked around to see an large whole at the end of the mall.
{Looks like they took the fight outside} thought Videl.
Running towards the hole she notice two fighter staring each other down. One she quickly recognize as the Gold Fighter. The other she didn't know. {What is that}
*************************************************** *********************
MEAN WHILE AT THE BATTLE FRONT
Having tire of sizing Gohan up, Tao attack Gohan once again only to become enrage that none of his hits made contact.
"Stand still you bastard and let me hit you." Stated Tao
"Then I wouldn't be playing fair now would I." Said Gohan as he caught Tao punch and landed a kick that sent Tao to the ground.
{He is faster than I remember, no matter, he did me a favor bringing us outside} thought Tao.
"Hope I'm not boring you." Said Gohan smirking.
"On the contrary things are just getting started." stated Mercenary Tao as he stood up and began powering up.
"I see that you are quick, but let see you dodge this." Stated Tao as he began shooting multiple blasts at Gohan.
{Well here we go} Thought Gohan as he began moving around blasts after blast until he shot one of his own. To his surprise Tao dodge it and reappeared behind Gohan and with a swift powerful punch, knocking Gohan to a near by building. Not wasting any time Tao shot a blast directly in to the building destroying it.
"Take that Gohan!" Shouted Tao
{DID HE JUST SAY WHAT I THINK HE DID?} thought Videl
But before she could ponder further on that Gohan was back up and frowning at Tao.
{JUST WHAT KIND OF UPGRADE DID THIS GUY HAVE!} thought Gohan. Not wasting any time though he quickly charge Tao and engaged in combat.
{He's strong almost as strong as me in SS1.Almost} smirking Gohan disappeared with next punch and with a flip, he knocked Tao into the air. Before Tao could recover Gohan appeared in front of him bringing both his hand together over his head, he power up as far as he could go in SS1 and hit Tao right on the head sending him flying towards the ground. Slowing floating towards the ground, Gohan watch as Tao slowly got off the ground. That last hit had did number on Tao, his mechanical body seem to be broken in a few places. Not ready to give up yet Tao jump to the air firing both of his hands at Gohan. (You know like a rocket hand) Gohan quickly dodge them and headed straight for Tao.
{Bad move kid} thought Tao and he made his hand turn around and shoot blasts at Gohan.
Gohan for his part had caught on to Tao plan and using the after image technique he had tricked Tao into shooting a fake Gohan while the real Gohan appeared behind Tao, punching him directly through his back going all the way through putting a hole directly where Mercenary Tao stomach would be.
"Ahhhhhhhh," shouted Tao as he slowly fell to the ground with Gohan landing in front of him.
"Had enough, if you give up now, you might get off easy with nothing more than life in prison." smirked Gohan
{This doesn't make sense, how could that boy still be stronger than me, he can't possible be human. I have to think of something soon or I'll lose this match} thought Tao
Looking to his right, he notice a girl staring at them from the hole from what was left of the mall.
{That'sthe girl from the photo, well I may not be able to kill Gohan but at least I have the satisfaction that I kill one of them. But the boy still might be able to stop the blast, no matter, if he do, he'll be giving me enough time to put the remainder of my power into one final blast that he won't be able to stop.} thought Tao
"Die girl" shouted Tao firing a blast directly at Videl.
{What is he- Videl!!} thought Gohan
{Oh no this is it.} thought Videl as she watch the blast fly towards her. Closing her eyes, Videl waited for the blast to hit her.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Videl were thrown to the wall from the blast but was never hit by it.
{Huh} thought Videl as she open her eyes.
Standing above her and a few feet from where she was watching was the Gold Fighter.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah..I'm fine..thank yo-
"TAKE THIS" shouted Tao
Looking up to the sky Gohan notice that Tao had made a powerful and very large ki ball and was sending it directly towards them.
{That idiot, that blast can destroy the everything in miles of here, I have no choice I have to stop this!!!} Thought Gohan
Left with no other choice, Gohan flew towards the ki ball. Spreading his hand, Gohan caught the ball and sent back towards it creator.
"NOOOOOOO!" shouted Tao as he was engulfed by his own blast and was destroyed.
"Yo- You killed him." Said Videl
"There was no other choice if I haven't he would have destroyed the city." Said Gohan
{Why the hell am I explaining myself to her. I just save her life} thought Gohan
Mean while the others was flying towards Gohan when Krillen notice something.
"Oh no."
"What is it Krillen." Ask Bulma
"It that girl from Gohan class, we can't go down there she'll know who we are especially you guys. She will remember you from the WMAT. And I'm pretty sure she'll know who you are Bulma"
"Humph she won't know me, if she can't tell the boy when he is SS she won't know who I am." said Vegeta forgetting the fact that his picture was once taking during the cell games.
"Or us." shouted Trunks and Goten
"Fine, we'll head to Capsule Corp and wait for you guys there and remember don't call Gohan by his name " Said Krillen
"Yeah and don't let those news reporters get too close Vegeta." Said Bulma as Yamcha took hold of Bulma and headed follow the others.
After grumbling to his self, Vegeta, Trunk, and Goten landed behind Gohan and Videl in SSJ form.
{More Gold Fighters?} Videl as she notice them land.
"Here, thought you might need this." Said Vegeta smirking as he threw Gohan a sensu bean.
{That guy, he look like one of the guys from the Cells Games} Thought Videl
"Very funny, but I'm fine." Said Gohan as he turn to Videl. Looking at her he notice a few bruises on her which for some reason angered him a little which didn't go unnoticed by Vegeta.
"Take this." Said Gohan (aka Gold Fighter)
"What is that?" ask Videl frowning at the bean.
"Will you quit with the questions and just eat it, it won't kill you!" Snapped Gohan
Slowly taking the bean to from the Gold Fighter, Videl slowly ate the bean and was surprise to feel the pain that she receive from the shockwave of the blast go away.
{But How}
"Come on boy the others are waiting for us." Said Vegeta
{Others? Just how many of them are there and HOW IN THE HELL CAN THEY ALL FLY? WHAT IS GOING ON? I died and went into the Twilight Zone.} thought Videl
"Alright lets go." said Gohan
"Wait. " shouted Videl
Turning around the other waited as Gohan flew back down.
"You guys go on ahead I'll catch up." Said Gohan
{The last thing I need now is to have her trying to follow us in her jet copter, humph like it will do her any good.} thought Gohan smirking.
"What is it now." Said Gohan rolling his eyes
CLICKED
{Huh what was that} thought Gohan looking at Videl
"Nothing never mind."
Looking at her strangely Gohan finally decided that it was not worth his time and flew to catch up with the others.
"Miss Videl are you okay." Shouted the police as they finally made it to the scene.
"Yes I'm fine." Said Videl
"What happened here?" ask the Chief
"Some machine or something attack the mall. He was stop though by the Gold Fighter.
"Was that him leaving just now. "
"We saw three other guys looking similar to him, who are they?” Ask the Chief
"You got me chief." said Videl holding a camera. {But by the end of this weekend I will know your secret Gold Fighter}
Having seeing Mercenary Tao defeated the Crane Gang quickly headed towards their car.
"What are you guy waiting on come on we must leave now and reports this to the Crane Master." Said Troy.
{How could he be that strong, that power, I MUST have that power.} thought Troy as the Crane Gang left.
"I will beat you Gohan no matter what it takes"
