CHAPTER 20

Where can Gohan be? Thought Videl. She had hoped that he would have return sometime over in the night, but it was almost noon and still he had not returned. She really wanted to talk to him and sort some things out but that could only be done with him there.

I heard of cooling down but this is ridiculous. thought Videl

"Come on girl." Said Vegeta in front of her breaking her from her thoughts.

Videl wasn't stupid. It didn't take long for her to figure out that Bulma didn't want her wandering around Capsule Corp. alone. She had also guess that from one of Vegeta comments earlier that Bulma and Vegeta also knew about the blackmail incident and wouldn't trust her. But she had been okay with hanging around Gohan; it had given her a way to try to make up for what she had said about Gohan father and the blackmail. But being stuck with Vegeta was another story, and Videl quickly found out not to get on his bad side. She didn't believe it possible, but he had a temper that was even worst than Gohan. But things weren't as bad as they seem. She quickly found that being with Vegeta was just like been with Gohan: there was never a dull moment. After yesterday incident, Vegeta had taken it upon his self to see every new security personnel they had at Capsule Corp. to inform them that rules WILL be followed. But because they couldn't just leave their positions, he was stuck to go see them, walking all around Capsule Corp. It was amusing to see how fast people cleared out any room that Vegeta entered or how they dodge him when they saw him coming down the hall. She felt sorry for Vegeta next unfortunate victim.

No wonder he is considered second best- Videl frowned at that thought. She would have to quick thinking that. No longer was her father the World Strongest, hell he never was. She still couldn't get over the fact that her father took credit for something the he knew he didn't deserve. Though it did make sense as to why he didn't mine her taking credit for beating that assassin. She quickly began to wonder if all she had been doing for the last few years had been for nothing. After all who was she if she wasn't the daughter of the man that defeated Cell?

Deciding not to think on the subject anymore, she returned her attention back to Vegeta who had currently scared the poor worker into a corner.

"Do you understand?" ask Vegeta

"Yes sir, I promise you'll have no problems out of me." Answered the frighten employee.

"Good." said Vegeta as he continued on his way. This continued for the next two hours before Vegeta was finally finished. After which, they headed back to the main house where they had a lunch. Deciding it would be best to leave while still on Vegeta some what good side, Videl excuse herself to her room but not before Vegeta made sure she knew not to go snooping around. Entering her room she had decided on taking a nap as she didn't get any sleep last night. Only the nap was much longer than she expected as she looked the clock which now read 10:45p.m. Looking towards the window she notice that a storm had arrive explaining the loud noise that woke her up in the first place. She quietly headed down stairs for a snack since she apparently missed dinner again. She was in the process of making a sandwich when she swore she saw a figure outside doing the lighting flash. Wanting to make sure she was correct, Videl heading over to the window to get a better look.

"What are you doing girl?!" ask Vegeta; who in Videl book had came out of nowhere and scared the shit out of her. Having sense her wandering about he had come to investigate.

"I was fixing something to eat when I thought I saw someone." Answered Videl. She wouldn't admit it, but Vegeta really creep her out.

"Humph, about time the boy returned." Said Vegeta sensing that it was Gohan.

"You mean that's Gohan out there?'

"Didn't you hear me girl?" glared Vegeta. Seeing that everything was under control, he headed back upstairs.

Sure enough Vegeta was right as after about ten minutes Gohan finally came through the door. He wasn't shock to see Videl having already sense that her in the kitchen. He slowly made his way over to the counter preparing to fix his self a few sandwiches as well.

"So, how are you doing?" Ask Videl not liking the silence.

"Fine."

"..........................I'm sorry about what my father did, I had always thought something wasn't right, but I never thought it was that bad."

"Don't worry about it; you weren't there so you wouldn't have known."

"Right." Answered Videl.

The two made their way over to the table where Gohan quickly began finishing off his sandwich while Videl slowly ate hers getting quick glances at Gohan every now and then. Since her talk with Bulma yesterday there where several questions she wanted to ask Gohan but couldn't come up with how to ask him (though she did know that she wasn't going to pry).

"Will you stop that?"

"Huh, stop what?"

"You keep glancing at me when you think I don't notice; it's annoying. I would rather prefer you just go on and ask me the question."

"W-What make you think I want to ask you a question?"

"One you're stuttering and two, you only does that when you have a question." Answered Gohan knowingly.

Damn for someone who acts like he doesn't care he sure is observant. thought Videl.

Might as well get it off my shoulders

"Well it involved yesterday. When you did that.....thing and........transformed. I never seen or heard anything like that. I was just wondering how you were able to do that."

Gohan silently cursed his self for asking her to ask her question.

"It's complicated. To tell you would mean explaining a lot of things to you that you don't know and now is not the best time to get into it."

He still doesn't trust me. thought Videl sadly. Though she was still somewhat happy. He said it wasn't the best time, he said nothing about never telling her.

"Okay." Said Videl getting up to leave having finished her sandwich.

"Oh and Gohan, I wanted to thank you for finally telling me the truth about the Cell Games." Said Videl as she headed out the door glad that he had returned.

"Don't mention it." Answered Gohan as he watch Videl leave. He couldn't put his finger on it but something had changed since their last encounter.

B-

CRANE GANG HIDEOUT

"This has better be good; I have better things to do other than having being waked at four o'clock in the morning." Grumble the Crane Master.

"Oh I can assure you it is. The program is complete."

"What, I thought you said we had a couple more days?"

"It seems I underestimated how long it would take for their brain to download all the fighter techniques. They're already in the training and we're all set to see if the operation was a success. Of course we could wait till morning."

"NO! The sooner the better, well don't just stand there let's move." Said the Crane Master as the two headed down the hall to the training room. Entering the room, the Crane Master saw his student anxious for the tests to begin. For the next hour, the scientists watch in awe and wonder as the gang performed unbelievable moves and attacks that only the Crane Master could see most of the time. They were also astounded by their strength as well.

B-

Out in the forest by a small water fall, a certain Nameck meditation was disrupted as he sense several powerful ki readings.

This isn't good thought the nameck frowning. Not wasting any time he quickly headed towards the location where he felt the ki. Unfortunately he lost track of their ki before finding their location. But Piccolo didn't give up just yet deciding to fly to where he last felt their ki.

B-

This is incredible!! I knew they would be strong but I never thought they would be this powerful. With this I can create a whole army. thought Dr. Frank smirking which didn't go unnoticed by the Crane Master.

"So did you enjoy our little demonstration?" ask Troy as he and the others entered the room.

"Yes indeed, get dress it's time we headed back to Satan City." Smirked Crane Master.

Finally I will have my revenge on Gohan for what he did to me. We'll see who is the strongest now thought Troy as he and the others prepared to head out to Satan City.

B-

CAPSULE CORP. (MORNING)

I look terrible thought Videl finally taking in her appearance. With everything that had been going on she had completely forgot that one of her pigtails had been cut off. Now looking in the mirror she knew she had to do something.

Maybe Bulma can help me out. Thought Videl heading down the hall to ask Bulma.

"I was wondering when you would finally notice. Sure I'll help you out. Let me get dress and we'll head to the mall-

"Uh, couldn't we do this somewhere less crowded?" ask Videl. Though she usually didn't care about what people thought about her image, she did not want to see her new hair-do on tomorrow news.

"Well I suppose we don't have to go to the mall, I know, I have a friend who's pretty good with this type of thing, I'll call and see if they can come by later.

"Thanks. By the way have you seen Gohan?"

"Yes, he's training with Vegeta, Goten, and Trunks."

"Okay, can you show me where I can find them?"

"...............I think it's best you wait till they're finished, trust me the last thing you want to do is ruin Vegeta and Gohan fun. I swear sometimes they can act worst than Trunks and Goten.

"Oh, alright."

I thought for sure she would try to put up a fight. Maybe she's not so bad after all. thought Bulma.

"Say Videl, why don't you help me with a few things in the kitchen while we wait for them to finish.

"Sure no problem."

The two of them carried a nice conversation as they setup the kitchen for breakfast. To Bulma surprise the two of them did have a few things in common. After getting the kitchen ready Bulma went to setup Videl appointment while Videl went to freshen up.

"Well Videl you'll be happy to know that my friend will be able to make it after all. She should arrive right after breakfast."

"Thanks Bulma."

"No problem. Well it's about time you boys finish, go wash up and everything should be ready." Said Bulma. The group quickly headed to wash up knowing it would be better to follow her demand than argue. In no time they were at the table digging in. Looking at the group, Bulma noticed that Videl did fit in nicely with the group, besides it was fun to have someone else to talk to for a change (though she did make sure that she didn't let anything else slip). Take away her attitude and the whole blackmail thing, and Videl was a nice person to hang around with. Suddenly every male at the table stopped eating all looking in the same direction feeling a familiar ki heading their way in a hurry.

"PICCOLO!!!!" shouted Goten as he jumped out his seat and headed towards the door but didn't make it as he was grabbed by Bulma.

"Not so fast young man, you need to finish your breakfast."

"Aw, but it's been so long since I seen him."

"I'm sure Piccolo has better things to do than spar with you Goten, right Gohan?" ask Bulma.

"Huh, yeah." Answered Gohan. He had been trying to communicate with Piccolo before Bulma interrupted him. He quickly nodded to Vegeta, and the two of them quickly got up and headed outside.

"Bulma, who's Piccolo?" ask Videl. The exchange hadn't gone unnoticed by her as Bulma observe.

"He's an old friend." Said Bulma not wanting to get into detail.

Videl didn't say anymore on the subject but finished her breakfast. She knew something was up. A little while later Piccolo finally landed frowning as usually.

"What do you want nameck?" ask Vegeta wanting to skip the 'good morning' interlude that was usually done when meeting someone. If the nameck was here something was up and Vegeta was more than ready for some action.

"I need to speak with Bulma concerning these." Said Piccolo holding up what appeared to be files.

"Why? What's going on?" Ask Gohan

Early this morning I felt several large ki levels some ways from Satan City. But they disappeared before I was able to locate them, however, I was able to pinpoint where I last felt their location. Once I got there I found what appeared to be a base.

"A military base?" ask Vegeta curious.

"Not likely, there where no tanks and the men there wasn't wearing any uniform I've seen on this planet though it was heavy secured." Answered Piccolo

"Probably a black market base for selling drugs." Answered Gohan.

"Maybe so but that's not what concern me, after 'checking' out the base, it appeared that they was doing more than just selling drugs."

"And that IS?" asked Vegeta getting impatient.

"Tests, from what I gather, seven subjects were brought there to be made stronger. I later found out that it was a group so teenagers."

From the looks on their faces Piccolo could tell that neither Gohan or Vegeta liked the sound of that.

"Unfortunately, they had left before I arrive and I lost track of them after following their trail to Satan City."

"Tell me something, did anyone there mention Crane Gang or Crane Master." Ask Gohan

"No but the word 'Crane' came up several times. Wait a minute, you trying to tell me that the Crane Master is behind this." Ask Piccolo surprised.

"Of course the boy is nameck, now did you fine the one responsible for making them stronger?"

"No, apparently he left with the others, but I was able to `convince' another scientist there to get me information on him and some of his work. That's why I need to speak with Bulma, maybe she knows who this guy is."

"Did you destroy the base?"

"No, I didn't why."

"Well you said that they were operated on there, maybe Bulma can find out some more information there as well." Answered Gohan.

"Good thinking Gohan." Said Piccolo as the three quickly headed towards the kitchen.

Videl nearly chocked seeing the tall nameck entering behind them but luckily she was able to recover. Gohan curse noticing this. He had completely forgotten about Videl with the mention of the Crane Gang.

"Woman get dress, we're leaving. Something important has come up." Demanded Vegeta

"Huh, what's going on?" ask Bulma

"We'll explain along the way." Answered Vegeta.

"Gohan, what's going on?" asked Videl

"Something comes up that may involve the Crane Gang." Said Gohan. In all honestly he didn't want to tell her knowing how she is, but couldn't think of a lie. But that wouldn't be needed now as another idea had come up."

"Videl, I need you to do me a favor."

"What?"

"Stay here and watch Goten and Trunks."

"WHAT, but-

"Look, we need to make sure everything safe, don't tell you've forgot about what happen the other day."

"NO, I haven't forgot. But you're trying tell me Bulma can fight as well."

"No she can't, but she knows how to handle herself in these situations, unlike you she's been doing this since before either of us was born."

"He's right Videl, besides don't forget about your appointment and trust me, you do not won't to upset her. Said Bulma as she headed up stairs

She can wait for all I care. thought Videl dragging Gohan to the side.

"Look Gohan, your life isn't the only one in danger here. I have every right to go just as much as you."

"Maybe you're right, but unlike you I can protect myself from Troy."

"WHAT ARE-

"Tell me this Videl, how long have you known that Troy could fly."

".......Troy.....can...fly?"

"Look, I'm not asking you to say here just because I want you too, I'm asking you to stay for your own protection."

"...........................................Okay Gohan, I'll stay."

"Thanks."

"Are you ready yet woman?"

"We're ready dad." Answered Trunks and Goten.

"You two are staying here, and if I even feel you two heading our way you will learn a new meaning for the word punishment. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes." Answered both Goten and Trunks.

"Videl will stay here with you two and keep and eye on you as well."

Both boy's groaned hearing this.

"WOMAN-

"Yes I'm ready quit your whining. Videl my friend should be here any minute be on the look out for her." Said Bulma finally coming down.

"I will."

"Bout time, let's go." Said Vegeta as the four of them headed out the door. They were about to head off when they felt two people heading their way. Getting a closer look they soon recognize that it was Krillen and 18.

"Speak of the Devil." Said Bulma.

"Hey where's the fire?" ask Krillen landing with 18 holding Marron.

"Hey guys something came up and we need to check it out, sorry we won't be able to stay but Trunks and Goten inside with Videl. Thanks 18."

"Don't mention it beside I was getting sick of the island." Said 18

"Let's go already we've wasted enough time as it is." Said Vegeta. He would have blasted off after that statement but with only Piccolo knowing the location he was stuck with waiting. Taking one look at the group, Piccolo blasted off with Gohan and Vegeta (who's holding Bulma) following.

"And what are you doing." Ask 18 Glaring at Krillen.

"Huh."

"Shouldn't you be heading off with the others?"

"But what about Marron, you can't possible watch her while cutting hair."

"I'LL worry about that, I suggest you catch up with them before, you lose track of them."

"Right." Laugh Krillen nervously before flying after the other.

I'll never understand her. thought Krillen.

Might as well get this over with thought 18 as she headed inside.

B-

"Wow Piccolo you really did a number on this place." Commented Krillen as he and the others looked at the base. The base looked like a ghost town, it was apparent that everyone had fled. There was holes from ki blasts everywhere, and a few cars blown up as well. Luckily someone and put them out as to not draw attention. Even the building had some crack going up the wall.

"Well let's just say the guards wouldn't take no for an answer." Stated Piccolo as he led the others inside. Wasting no time Piccolo led them directly to the South Wing of the base where they found a large lab. After finding the main computer, Bulma got to work bringing files showing exactly what they was testing.

"Oh God."

"What." Ask the others present looking for any signs of danger.

"These designs, they are just like the ones that were created by Dr. Gero. Apparently they operated on seven human changing them into cybrogs using some of Dr. Gero designs. It also looks as though they use his gene slicing method as well."

All of the fighter paled hearing that (though Gohan and Vegeta were able to recover quickly). That had been one fight that all of them wanted to forget. The last thing they needed was a repeat.

"Great, just what we needed, seven fighters who's incredible strong, and what's worst is we don't even know who they are." Announce Krillen.

"I do, I'll bet anything they're the Crane Gang, remember his brother was a cyborg. Not to mention that they've been in hiding. My guess is that they were here being operated." Said Gohan

"This is strange, it seems that they took each of you guys fighting ability and gave it to one of the teens instead of combining them."

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"Well, remember how Dr. Gero had each of your fighting abilities. Well whoever design the Crane Gang designed them to each mimicked one of you, even you Vegeta. The only one I don't see on here is you Gohan."

"Well that to be expected, the Dr. didn't consider Gohan to be a threat considering his age at the time." Commented Piccolo.

"So what you are saying is that there are seven people out there with our fighting style?" ask Krillen

"Apparently so but there are some differences as well, one being that they already have a few fighting style they mastered from their sensei as well." Mentioned Piccolo

"What I want to know is how they were able to get these designs from that blasted Doctor. I thought you and my son took care of this crone drone?" ask Vegeta.

"We did, honest. We took out every computer and equipment there."

"Well it obvious you didn't finished the job. There's no telling how many scientists have this information." Grumble Vegeta glaring at Krillen.

"Oh give him a break Vegeta, maybe he's telling the truth. For all we know Dr. Gero might have had other files hidden else where that we never knew about." Said Bulma

"Look we can worry about that later, now why aren't you worry about the strength part?" ask Piccolo.

"Well from what I can gather from these files they had to limited how much power they gave the gang seeing that they were still inexperience, they didn't won't to risk them going overboard and killing themselves or destroying this lab."

"Well that good news."

"No it isn't, apparently two of them are still way more powerful that the others."

Not to many guesses as to who one of them is. thought Gohan.

"Can you tell who gain which of our fighting abilities?" ask Piccolo

"I'm trying to bring that up now. Just give me a few minutes."

TWENTY MINUTES LATER

"There I found it!" shouted Bulma happily.

"Bout damn time." Grumble Vegeta. Though the others didn't say nothing they all agreed with him on that.

Finally the computer brought up the list which read as follows:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

SUBJECT FIGHTER

Troy: Goku

James: Vegeta

Zane: Piccolo

Lee: Tien

Jason: Krillen

Tom: Yamcha

Tyson: Chiaotzu

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"That's impossible, if what you're saying is true then why can't we feel their power? If they have just half of our power we should be able to sense them anywhere on this planet." ask Vegeta

"Well they haven't unleash it. You forget we are not dealing an ordinary scientist. He's design them so that you can't sense them until they use their power." Announced Bulma

"Can you bring up any files on this Dr. Frank guy?" ask Gohan

"No need, I heard of him. If Dr. Gero ever wanted to take on a protégé, Dr Frank would have been the ideal choice. Up until six years ago he worked for the military on improving soldiers combat ability as well as repairing injuries for those who lost maybe an arm or leg. From what I was told he was the best there was and get this, he headed a group out to the Cell Game to gather information. A year after that he and a few other scientist disappeared- What wrong guys?" ask Bulma as she notice the others had their attention else where.

"It's them." Answered Gohan as he felt their power.

This isn't good. Threeof them are even stronger than Mercenary Tao was. thought Gohan.

"Krillen, take Bulma back to Capsule Corp." said Gohan

"Where are you going Gohan?"

"Where else woman, after them of course." Said Vegeta as he, Piccolo, and Gohan flew through the ceiling.

B-

CAPSULE CORP.

18 found the group in the living room as Trunks and Goten was fighting over the remote while Videl was laughing at their antics. Currently both were pulling each other back as they tried to grab the remote which had fallen on the floor.

"I'll take that." Said 18 as she turned on the T.V. putting it on Marron favorite channel.

"Now look what you did." Pouted Trunks

"Me, this was your fault. You had the remote last time, it was my time to have the remote." Said Goten

The boys continue to glare until they finally turn their back on each other silently fuming. Looking at Videl, 18 notice that her laughter had already stop as the girl was now frowning at her.

"You must be Videl." Said 18 sitting Marron on the couch.

"Yes, and you are?" snapped Videl. Her tone didn't go unnoticed by 18.

"18, Bulma called me this morning. I'm ready to start if you are."

The sooner the better thought Videl wanting to be rid of the blonde woman as soon as possible.

Videl slowly sat in the chair as 18 pulled out her hair kit to get started. After pulling out the bow in her hair 18 got to work cutting Videl hair.

"That assassin really did a number on you."

"And how would you know that?" ask Videl feeling somewhat ashamed. She had never figured Gohan to be a bragger but it looked like she was wrong.

"Bulma told me this morning. Besides I knew all about assassin thing."

"So I guess you pretty close with Gohan."

"Close enough." Answered 18 now beginning to understand why the girl was hostile. Though why she was jealous at her she had no idea. The only time she had remembering seeing the girl was at the mall-. 18 smile as she finally figured it out.

Well if the girl jealous, why not give her a reason smirked 18.

Krillen going to have a field day with this.

"So how long have you known Gohan."

"Seven years. We're 'good' friends Gohan and I." answered 18.

"Whatever." Grumbled Videl feeling disgusted.

If I had known THIS was who Bulma was talking about I would have settle for the mall. thought Videl

"Hey 18, after you finish with her how about a rematch." Ask Trunks.

"Yeah." Said Goten

"I don't think that's a good idea." Announced 18 eyeing Videl.

"Don't worry I KNOW all about Gohan beating Cell." Announce Videl smugly.

"Humph."

"What?"

"Curious aren't we. Well lets just say that Gohan not one to go around telling his business especially to someone like you." Mention 18 though she was surprised that Videl actually knew about Cell.

"I know more about Gohan than you think." Answered Videl knowing what 18 was hinting about.

"Only because you spied on him, and tried to blackmail him. Then you took his credit at school." Shouted Goten.

"Yeah and it was your fault that Hercule even came here in the first place. That why Gohan flipped out the other day." Finshed Trunks.

So that what that was all about. thought 18, like the others Z fighters, she too had felt Gohan energy go off the chart though she did not come with Krillen and hadn't thought to ask him about it when she saw him arriving back so soon.

Videl though was too shock for words. She hadn't counted on the two of them knowing about the blackmail incident.

That what I get for lying. thought Videl totally embarrassed.

"So what was that about knowing more about Gohan than you think."

This is hilarious thought 18.

"Are you finish yet?" Ask Videl ready for her to leave.

"As a matter of fact, I am." Answered 18 as Videl looked in the mirror. While Videl didn't like her, she had to admit, she did and excellent job fixing her hair.

"Well thanks for the hair cut, I'll walk you out."

"No need. Besides I think I'll stay until Bulma return." Said 18 smiling as she watched Videl frown at hearing that.

"Well since you're staying can we spar now." Ask Trunks pleading.

"Yeah, come on." Ask Goten.

"Alright we'll spar outside."

"Okay but no blasting." Said Trunks

"Yeah especially after what happen last time." Said Goten as both boys shuddered thinking about that.

"And no flying this will strictly be about skill. Also no 'changing'." Said 18 winking towards Videl. She figured that Videl had seen Gohan transformed especially if she had been here as long as Bulma said, but she didn't wont to have any uninvited guests.

"Deal." Said both boys as the group headed out side.

"Are you sure this is a great idea. I mean from what I hear they are pretty strong." Ask Videl

What is she trying to pull she can't possible be that strong. If I couldn't beat Trunks then there no way in hell she could. thought Videl following 18 to the tree outside.

"I can handle it." Smirked 18 as she place Marron by the tree.

"You stay right here while I go spar with Trunks and Goten."

"Okay mommy."

With that 18 heading over the boy who were current playing 'rock, paper, scissors, to see who goes first.

"Man you always win." Pouted Goten as he headed over to the tree to watch the fight.

"Whenever you are ready." Said 18 as she stood waiting for Trunks to attacks.

Without wasting any time Trunks took off throwing several punches and kicks at 18 who for the moment had decided on dodging his attacks. Videl was shock at how fast Trunks was. Sure she knew he was good having had a run in with him herself but she didn't think he was this good. Though what piss her off more was that 18 were managing to dodge all of his attacks. It didn't take her long to figure out that 18 was the stronger of the two. A little while later 18 finally took the offensive as Trunks was now blocking her attacks though several got through his defense. Catching Trunks next punch 18 quickly knee him in the stomach knocking the air out of him.

"You lose." Said 18 monotone.

"Hey he's just a kid." Started Videl she would have kept going until she saw Trunks get up grumbling as he stalk over to her and Goten. Apparently he wasn't hit as hard as she thought.

"Yes, it my turn!" shouted Goten as he headed toward 18.

"So what you're just going to lose too."

"I bet I'll last longer than you."

"Will not."

"Will too." Said Goten as he continued on his way wanting to get started.

"Ready."

"Sure kid."

And with that Goten took his shot at 18. If Trunks impressed Videl, you can bet what her reaction was at seeing Goten. She couldn't believe how strong the two were especially counting how old they were.

They're better than any opponent that I've ever fought against. thought Videl. Which made her wonder just how powerful Gohan really is.

It's no wonder he was able to defeat Cell

"Show off." Mumble Trunks after seeing Goten use the after image. Though it didn't get him anywhere as 18 dodge his kick and manage to catch Goten with a spin kick. Goten quickly recovered doing a couple of backward flips before setting his self back into his stance and charging again. He was surprised though to see 18 appear in front of him quickly grabbing him and slamming him to the ground.

"Told him he wouldn't last longer than me." Smirked Trunks.

"Yeh mommy wins again!" shouted Marron as she ran to her mom. The group slowly made their way back inside with Trunks and Goten going to change, while 18 put Marron to sleep as Videl watch her silently from the other side of the room. Though she was mad that 18 had managed to beat the boys she was still impressed at what the woman could do. Ten minutes later Marron was sound asleep and Goten and Trunks finally agree on a T.V. channel.

"Hey do you guys feel that?" ask Trunks

"Yeah, they're pretty strong." Mention Goten.

"Feel what? And who are they?" ask Videl feeling left out. The last time she had seen them like this was when that green guy showed up that morning.

"We don't know." Answered Goten and Trunks.

Looking at 18, Videl noticed that she was concentrating as well.

"Trunks give me the remote." Demanded 18 as she caught the remote and quickly begin changing channels.

B-

SATAN CITY (Doc Inc.)

The Crane Master smiled looking at his newly improve students. In only 2 hours they were now back in control of Satan City, and they didn't even have to use their powers to do it. After the crooks saw that their bullets had no affect on the group they gladly surrendered.

"Are you okay Zane, you don't look so good." Ask Tyson seeing his friend clutching his head.

"OF COURSE I'M NOT OKAY, I'M GREEN, I HAVE TWO FUCKING HORNS TRYING TO COME OUT OF MY HEAD, AND TO TOP IT OFF, I KEEP HEARING SOME DUMMY WHISPERING!!!!!" shouted Zane

"Okay, okay chill." Said Tyson backing away from Zane.

"Don't worry, by the end of today, you will have complete control over your hearing." Said Dr. Frank.

"That's good to know, how long before my skin changes back."

"Unfortunately your skin will remain that color. It seemed combining your DNA had an unknown side affect."

"No shit." Curse Zane looking at his green skin.

"Look you can worry about that later. Right now there's only one thing on my mind and that's Gohan. It's time we make him pay for what he did to us." Stated Troy

"Yeah and don't forget about his friend as well. I want payback." Said James. The other members in the group silently agreed as well.

"Yes I would like to see this Gohan as well. I'm curious as to how he got so strong." Announced Dr. Frank

"Then it settled we'll lure him out." Announced Crane Master.

"But how."

"Look around there's a whole city that yet to see your glorious power. Why not show them now." Laughed Crane Master.

"Yes, let show the City who's really in charge." Said Troy as he flew out the window with the rest of the gang following his footsteps. In no time, they landed in Satan Square, one of the busiest streets in Satan City causing a few wrecks as people watched in awe as they landed.

"How bout we give them something to really gawk about." Laugh Lee.

Slowly the group power up and began blasting everything in site from cars to buildings. The people that were once staring in awe were now running for their life. Slowly the group spread out each trying out their new power.

"Zane, Lee, gathered as many people as you can. I want to have a surprise for Gohan when he finally show up." Shouted Troy as he blasted another car in front of him. Nodding to their leader the two begin following his demands. The Crane Master and Dr. Frank watched from afar enjoying the boys handy work.

Yes this is better than I expected, the military will give me millions. though Dr. Frank.

"No, they won't Doctor, because you want be around to make anymore cyborgs." Announced Crane Master.

"How, how do you-

"How do I know, it's simple I can read minds, and yours stick out like a sore thumb. Tyson destroy him NOW."

Not wasting any time the Dr. took off. Apparently he had been doing some tests on his self as well. Tyson though quickly gave chase after him. A little while later the police showed up, but like the others they too were force to retreat.

"Chief, do something, call Videl."

"Are you crazy? She's in no condition to handle this." Said the Chief, dodging another blast.

"Then what do we do."

"We pray that the Gold Fighter will show up." Said the Chief

"But we haven't seen him since Videl said he was in that explosion at the hospital."

"So what? I've seen him blown up more times than I can count, besides he's the only chance we've got now. Said the Chief as he and the other officer ran for cover.

Look at them run cowards, they know supremacy when they see it. And soon Gohan, so will you. thought Troy as he destroyed another building..

"Guys, I'm getting that feeling again." Stated Tom. Looking at the group he noticed that the same thing was happening to them as well.

"It's Gohan, he's coming. Everyone get ready." Stated Troy.

B-

Smoke could be seen coming from Satan City as Gohan and the other finally reach Satan City limit. Seeing Gohan slow down, Vegeta and Piccolo followed suit.

"What's wrong Gohan." Ask Piccolo.

"Out with it boy, we don't have all day" announced Vegeta.

"Listen I want to go in alone." Said Gohan slowly facing them.

"I don't think that's a good idea, we are all ready out numbered as it is." Stated Piccolo

"Yes besides, you're crazy if you think we're going to stay put like children." Said Vegeta, he didn't all the out here just to sit on the side lines.

"Well I was hoping you two would sneak up from behind."

"WHAT?!!! THE PRINCE OF ALL SAYJINS DO NOT SNEAK UP ON HIS VICTIMS. ESPECIALLY WEAKLINGS." Shouted Vegeta.

"Remember what happen last time we attack? He nearly killed those people on that boat. If this is a trap then let me fall for it, at least this way we'll have some sort of back up plan should I fail." Stated Gohan. He could tell that Piccolo would comply to his request.

"Fine boy, we'll do this your way....for now." Said Vegeta thought he hated the fact that he was sneaking in on a bunch of humans no matter what kind of operation they had. There was no way they were stronger than a sayjin, a super sayjin no less. He and Piccolo slowly landed on the ground bringing their power levels as low as possible as they quickly headed in the city.

That was close. For a minute I didn't think Vegeta would cooperate. Well I better get ready for my grand appearance. thought Gohan as he transform to SSJ and began heading towards the Crane Gang.

CAPSULE CORP.

Finally. thought 18 as she saw an local network get interrupted by the news. She had almost turned to every channel.

WORLD WIDE NEWS

"WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM FOR BREAKING NEWS: SATAN CITY HAS JUST FALLEN UNDER ATTACK BY SEVEN MYSTERIOUS BOYS, ALL WEARING THE SAME UNIFORM. THE ATTACK STARTED AROUND 20 MINUTES AGO AS PEOPLE WITNESS THE GROUP FLYING THROUGH SATAN CITY. AS OF NOW THE POLICE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO STOP THE GROUP, BUT WE HAVE WORD THAT THE MILITARY IS BEING SENT IN AS WE SPEAK. OUR SAVIOR, HERCULE HAS SOMEHOW COME DOWN WITH A STOMACH VIRIS AND IS UNABLE TO HELP AT THE MOMENT. THE MAYOR AS ORDERED THAT EVERYONE IN SATAN CITY STAY HOME AND OUT OF THE STREETS. WAIT A MINUTE, IT SEEMS AS IF ONE OF THE CAMERA MEN HAS A CLOSE UP OF THE GROUP." Said the news anchor as the group finally saw a picture of the group.

Oh my god thought Videl seeing all of the destruction they had cause. What surprise her even more was who was behind it.

"the crane gang" whispered Videl. Though the others heard her, they continue to watch T.V.

"WE JUST RECEIVE WORD ON THE GROUP. IT APPEARS THAT THE GROUP OF BOYS IS THE 'CRANE GANG', A GROUP OF THUGS WHO WAS BROUGHT IN ABOUT A WEEK AGO ON DRUGS CHARGES BUT APPARENTLY ESCAPED A FEW DAYS LATER. KEEP WATCHING AS WE WILL BRING YOU UP TO DATE REPORT ON THIS DEADLY DEVELOPMENT!!!!!!" said the news anchor as they continue to show the destruction cause to Satan City.

B-

SATAN CITY

"How long do you think it will take for him to get here?" Ask James.

"Oh I don't think it'll be too long." Stated Gohan as he fired six blasts at the group. Troy, James, and Zane quickly dodge the blast while the others were thrown to the ground having been caught off guard.

"It's about time you show up, Gohan, I was beginning to think you'd be a no show. But I'm glad you're here. Now we have someone to test our power on." Stated Troy.

I could have sworn I felt three of them, where are they? thought Troy

"Really now, well don't count on it being easy. I'll have you know I give as good as I get...if not better." Smirked Gohan. Meanwhile the three that had been hit by his blast were now back on their ready to jump in as well.

"Yes, we've all seen just how good you are which is why we've got a surprise for you, boys." Said Troy pointing to James and Zane. Looking towards the two Gohan notice a group of people rounded up looking at the group scared.

Gohan tried to attack James and Zane but to his surprised Troy appeared in front of him punching him to a near by building causing it to collapse.

"You got him." Shouted the others.

"Not yet I haven't." announce Troy. His newly found powers told him that while that punch did do some damage to Gohan, he was still alright.

"COME ON OUT, I KNOW YOU'RE STILL THERE." shouted Troy

Damn, he's much faster than I expected, stronger too. Thought Gohan pulling his self out of the rubber at the same time rubbing his jaw.

"I wouldn't try that again if I were you, now here's how this is going to work, we going to test our power and you are going to do nothing. We'll start with Lee, Jason, and Tom going first, then Zane and James, and finally, I will finish it. And if you try to pull another stunt such as the one you just did, then." Troy finished his statement by firing a blast a nearby building destroying it.

NO!!!

"THERE WERE PEOPLE STILL IN THAT BUILDING." Shouted Gohan restraining his self from attacking.

"Now you see I'm not joking, shall we begin." Smirked Troy.

Gohan said nothing but drop his guard bracing his self for what was about to happen.

"Nice of you to see it our way Gohan." Said Troy as Lee, Jason, and Tom begin walking towards Gohan cracking their hands smirking.

This doesn't look to good, maybe I should have let Vegeta and Piccolo come with me, they better get here soon. thought Gohan as the three teen flew towards him ready to begin their assault.
