So, I'm back once again. I can now say that I actually do see an end in sight for this fic (as previously I was mostly just working through canon for the most part and didn't have a set end point in mind). Thanks for sticking with me through it all and I hope the story wraps up in a way that leaves everyone satisfied. Just to clarify though, we are not close to the end yet, but we are officially taking the first step towards it, with the start of this new Arc. Just how long this goes on for I'm not sure, but we are not even halfway to the end of the story, more like a quarter, or even less than that at this point, since these next few arcs will really hammer in the character and romantic development before the fists start flying. Enjoy!
I'll be honest, I was worried how I was going to transition from the Cooler Mini-arc to the high school arc, but I now have a great idea which will incorporate Lime, Videl, #18 and Cell, while also leading into the Buu Saga.
I likely won't go into Super or related events here. There will obviously be a few things I use, such as Golden Cooler and potentially a few other characters briefly, but this story will end after the end of my last arc, which starts now actually and will run in the background of the high school and Buu arc, before wrapping up everything itself with its conclusion.
SSJ3 Kyuubi Gohan.
Previously:
Gohan and Bulma finished the remote to separate Cooler from the Big Gete Star, thanks to Gohan attaining a sample of Cooler to calibrate the machine. Meanwhile, Broly continued to hold Cooler's attention, even going into his equivalent form of Super Saiyan Two, before Gohan returned and Cooler was split apart by the remote. Now the battle continues with Broly and Gohan facing down the organic aspect of Golden Cooler.

Chapter 11 – New pursuits
Gohan and Broly both stared down the incomplete alien. While he was missing a few limbs, what remained of him was technically immortal, which made fighting him an issue.
'Well Broly, what do you think? He has to tire some time, now that he isn't attached to the Big Gete Star at least.' Said Gohan, as the Saiyan boy studied Cooler.
'That sounds good enough to me.' Said Broly, before his own green aura started to swell around him.
'So you still plan to face me despite being so outmatched. I don't think there is a handicap I could even give you to put you on equal footing with me.' Taunted Cooler.
'I think you'd need feet for us to have equal footing of any sorts.' Quipped Gohan, causing the alien to seethe.
'Perhaps I should just remove you of such cumbersome things.' Snapped Cooler, before raising his sole left hand and locking his index finger onto the two Saiyans, before a fiercely powerful beam of purple energy shot at Gohan.
The young hybrid avoided the attack, dodging to the left, while Broly charged forward to meet Cooler. The golden alien met the Saiyan head on, surprisingly enough, fist meeting fist and sending out a loud concussive sound blast, which gouged into the earth far below them. Cooler then snapped his gaze directly to Broly's chest, before a beam blasted out of his right eye and slammed into Broly's chest, sending him back a step, breaking their deadlock. Cooler would then charge at Broly, a dark silver aura surrounding him, before he launched his body at Broly like a projectile. Broly was again sent back a short distance by the attack, but it seemed to amuse him more than hurt.
'If you're trying to give me a massage, my back could use some work.' Joked Broly.
'I see, then I shall have to accommodate you.' Said Cooler, before raising his finger, a large glowing ball of energy quickly forming and expanding, looking not unlike a small sun.
'Take this!' Cried Cooler, launching the attack at Broly.
Broly gathered green energy into both of his palms and raised them to meet the attack. Broly grunted against the attack, before smirking, as he raised the attack up, before sending it hurtling at Cooler. Cooler was momentarily taken by surprise, as his own attack suddenly came flying at him. Cooler prepared to dodge, only for Gohan to launch a Masenko into the attack, causing it to explode. Cooler's form was blasted away from the attack, taking the first bit of real damage through all the fighting so far. Gohan noticed this and sent a quick glance to Broly, who seemed to grin in realisation as well. Cooler's attacks could definitely hurt him.
'How dare you?' Spat Cooler, only for Gohan to kick him in the head, sending him flying.
Cooler tried to steady himself in mid-air, only for Broly to suddenly appear in front of him and launch a right armed lariat, spinning Cooler around and sending him flying. A kick from above struck Cooler in the back, as Gohan appeared above him with Instant Transmission, sending him falling to the ground. Cooler's descent was interrupted, as Broly grabbed Cooler in a bearhug and started to spin, as the two raced to the ground. A loud explosion was heard as the earth opened up, chunks of rock and debris shooting into the sky, before lazily floating back down to blanket the area. Gohan dropped down to the ground slowly, waiting to see what happened. Once again, a Supernova appeared through the dust in an instant, before rushing at Gohan. Gohan's eyes widened in surprise, before he crouched down and launched a Kamehameha wave at the bottom of the attack, before angling it upwards, causing the blast to soar into the sky. The attack exploded a few hundred metres above the ground, sending a burst of heat downwards and blasting away the dust below. Cooler was revealed to be floating in the air, with Broly standing in front of him, a few scuffs on his shoulders following his last attack.
Broly cackled in amusement as Cooler raised his arm in a knife-edge chop, malicious looking purple energy flowing over the limb, before the two aliens rushed each other. A harsh grating sound, like nails against a chalkboard sounded out, as Cooler's attack struck Broly's chest. The behemoth grinned as the attack tried to damage him, grabbing Cooler by his partially damaged head moments later, before throwing him away. Gohan suddenly appeared in the trajectory of Broly's throw, before Cooler was kicked up into the air. Broly swiftly flew into the air, meeting Cooler's back with an elbow, causing the warrior of evil to let out a short gasp, as spittle flew from his partially opened mouth. Broly suddenly twisted in mid-air, before an axe kick smashed into Cooler, sending him flying downwards again. Gohan dug his feet into the ground, powering up another Kamehameha wave, which he blasted into Cooler's midsection. Broly laughed from above, as Cooler was sent back towards him, before flicking a green ball of Ki down. The attacks of blue and green met in the middle, before the entire area went white, as the attacks exploded with a furious pulse of light. The two Saiyans waited patiently for the aftermath of their attack to be revealed, only for two separate pulses of purple energy to shoot at each of them. Gohan launched a Ki blast against the beam, causing it to detonate, while Broly simply backhanded it behind him, with it exploding shortly after. In the moment it took for those two actions to occur, four Supernova's appeared in the sky high above the pair.
'Now, face the wrath of my Golden Metal Supernova!' Said Cooler, as he launched the spheres of destruction down.
'Broly! Bounce two of them, I'll get the others!' Ordered Gohan, before charging up a Super Kamehameha.
The blue beam was launched, a stunning expansion of both colour and destruction when compared with the original, so much so that it stopped one sphere dead it its path, before slowly starting to return it back to sender. Gohan grunted, noticing he had missed the second ball, which was still descending rapidly and would hit the ground in mere moments. Gohan pushed as much Ki into the Super Kamehameha as possible, causing the ball to speed up in its ascent, before the beam was abruptly cut, as Gohan teleported just below the second one. Gohan quickly made contact with the second ball, allowing it to push him down with it, before teleporting high into the sky, above even Cooler, before letting it descend once again.
Meanwhile, Broly had charged up two balls of green Ki in his hands, before launching one at each of the two balls heading his way. The instant the attacks made contact, Broly rapidly starting to charge and release many more green Ki blasts, each impacting against their original Ki blast, before the two balls were slowly stopped in place. Broly rose and appeared beside one of the balls, before grabbing it with both arms. Broly heaved upwards, raising the ball above his head, before throwing it back up. Moments after sending the first ball up, Broly gathered green Ki again, this time letting it coat his right fist, before punching the aggregation of his energy attacks, causing them to explode, which propelled the second of Cooler's Golden Metal Supernovas back up at a frightening speed.
Cooler had watched his attack being thwarted and quickly flew out of range of the attacks. As the four balls of his destructive energy came close to a collision, Cooler felt a hand on his back.
'Hi there.' Said Gohan, before teleporting the two of them back into the approaching epicentre of the blast. Gohan then quickly teleported back out, leaving Cooler to bear the brunt of his own attacks.
The explosion of the four attacks was so great, that all sound seemed to disappear at the moment of impact, before a veritable cacophony of sound erupted. Had any humans been nearby, their eardrums would have burst at the sheer decibel level of the sound and rendered them near deaf. The two Saiyans luckily did not share this fate however, the sound only registering as a mild annoyance to their hearing. Regaining their vision, the two Saiyans noted Cooler was floating in the midst of the attack, looking somewhat worse for wear, with some purple blood dripping out of his mouth and torso, but not at all looking as though he had just taken on four extremely strong attacks head on.
'Broly, I think it's time we finish this.' Whispered Gohan, causing Broly to smirk.
'I've been waiting to try this out.' Said Broly, as his entire form started to glow green, as his aura started to pour out of him.
'This is the end for you, Cooler!' Shouted Gohan, before hunching down.
Gohan's cries shook the earth and the sky as he transformed. Gohan's eyes flickered slowly, becoming a darker green, while his muscle mass bulked up slightly, veins popping out all along them, reflecting the strain of the form. Gohan's hair started to grow and lengthen, with a second lock of hair hanging down over his forehead, while the rest of his hair lengthened and reached all the way down to his waist. Gohan's eyebrows vanished and his brow enlarged slightly, giving him a more menacing appearance. Lastly, Gohan's aura had become a much darker yellow, almost matching Cooler's golden form in colour. Gohan exhaled deeply, before bringing his hands up to his forehead, gathering energy as he would for a Masenko, only the colour of the energy being gathered was a deep purple.
Cooler watched the two Saiyans power up and prepare their attacks, leading to him to do the same, Cooler instantly formed a Supernova above his head, before it suddenly shrunk down to the size of a golf ball. Cooler repeated the process over two dozen times, until he had a multitude of small super compressed Supernova attacks orbiting each other, similar to a galaxy.
Broly gave a deep throated grumble, as green Ki started to form into a ball in front of him. Broly let the attack build to the size of a basketball, before he started to compress the ball as he added more and more energy to the attack.
In unison, the three combatants unleashed their respective attacks. Gohan roared and pushed his hands forward, launching a large wave of purple energy from his hands. Broly also pushed his hands forward, causing the green ball of Ki to distort and exploded outwards, propelling a wave of increasing amplitude out towards Cooler. Cooler brought his hand forward, edging his attack forward slowly, the multitude of balls lazily spinning around each other, slowly expanding as they travelled. Gohan's purple beam rushed forward alongside Broly's green, the two attacks meeting but remaining separate, as they slammed into the spinning balls of death Cooler hand launched, each ball now the size of a large boulder. A concussive blast was heard as the attacks met, before a high-pitched ringing sound started to be released from the epicentre of the attacks. Cooler's energy balls continued to expand, pushing against the attacks of the two Saiyans. Eventually, Cooler's attack merged into one gigantic attack, which started to push back the attacks of the Saiyans.
'Broly! Give it everything! Everything you've got!' Roared Gohan over the sound of the attacks, before giving a mighty yell himself.
Broly snarled momentarily, before he started to chuckle. The chuckle slowly grew louder, until eventually Broly was cackling madly. A green beam of energy was suddenly shot from Broly's mouth, being added to the mix, now allowing the beams to push back the grossly enlarged Supernova. Cooler grunted in response, before aiming his only hand downwards, giving a continuous mighty Kiai, causing his attack to once again push back against that of the Saiyans. Gohan grunted in annoyance, seeing the attacks were once again in a stalemate, but while Broly and Cooler's reserves were still reasonably full, Gohan was quickly running out, due to the demands of his form.
"It's all or nothing I guess." Thought Gohan, closing his eyes momentarily, before looking deep into his core again.
Gohan had previously looked within himself to seeker further Super Saiyan power, but now, Gohan was looking for anything at all. Anything to give him one last boost of power. Gohan started to hear shouting and crying, causing him to scrunch up his eyes in confusion, before he started to make out the words.
'It hurts, it hurts.' Cried a little boy.
'Come on! Show me that power you have locked away!' Ordered a gruff voice.
"Piccolo?" Thought Gohan, before a flicker caught his attention.
Gohan's eyes snapped open and were now glowing white.
'Haaaaaaaaa!' Roared Gohan, a fresh wave of white energy blasting out from his hands, engulfing his purple wave and growing, feeding off his own energy.
Broly's eyes shifted over to Gohan slightly, observing his form, causing Broly to nearly tremble in excitement at the power he felt. Cooler on the other hand, seemed to flinch at Gohan's cry, feeling the insane increase of power Gohan had just undergone. The result of the power boost was soon made apparent, as Gohan's white beam of energy ripped through Cooler's little galaxy and washed over him.
'No, this can't be!' Cried Cooler, as the attack of the Saiyans washed over him, turning his entire world white.
The beam which had enveloped Cooler would continue to soar through the air, escaping the atmosphere completely and blasting through space itself, before finally exploding, shaking the very solar system. Gohan exhaled and quickly dropped back into his Full Power Super Saiyan form, just in case there was still a fight to be had. Broly likewise had dropped back into his original Legendary Super Saiyan form. Walking over to near where Cooler had been flying, the two Saiyans saw the hybridised alien, still in his Golden form, but lying unmoving on the ground, staring up at the sky.
'Well Cooler, looks like you are still alive after all.' Commented Gohan.
True to form, Cooler was still alive, only he appeared to have sustained a little bit more damage. His golden coating seemed to be covered with rust and was slowly fading away, while the parts of his body which had been fused to the Big Gete Star were sparking.
'To think, I wouldn't be destroyed by an attack of that sort, but it would still be enough to short circuit the components integrated into my being, paralysing me. I cannot think of a more embarrassing way to lose a fight.' Commented Cooler calmly, continuing to stare at the clouds above him.
'What's it like, being immortal but still feeling pain? Sounds like hell.' Asked Gohan.
'Hardly, this is a mild annoyance at best.' Scoffed Cooler.
'I wonder if this means we can hang you up and use you as an indestructible punching bag.' Commented Broly, causing the golden being to scoff.
'Well Cooler, time to take you away from here. We'll figure out where to put you later.' Said Gohan, as Broly walked over to the clump of alien and machine.
'I didn't underestimate you two at all, yet I still lost. It makes me wonder what it is about you Saiyans that makes you so annoyingly powerful. Even immortality doesn't seem to be enough to match the absurd timing of your growth in strength.' Commented Cooler, as Broly scooped him up.
'I'm not just a Saiyan, Cooler… something it seems even I forgot…' Commented Gohan thoughtfully, before placing his hand on Broly's back, with the three then disappearing with Instant Transmission.

One year later
Clyde had worked many cases in his short career and funnily enough, most were on the odd side. Clyde remembered working one case, where members of a gang had been so intoxicated on drugs, that they literally cracked each other's skulls and partially ate the brains of an unlucky member. That being said, he had a knack for picking the weirder cases. When clothes started to turn up randomly in Gingertown, Clyde had been one of the first people on the scene. It isn't as though being there helped any as they had never solved the case. This led to Clyde's current problem. Clyde had been called to investigate a collection of disappearances, however once again, clothing was left behind. It made Clyde first think the skull cracking gang had moved on to straight cannibalism, but the last he heard, their leader was dead and the last of them were living a quieter life as a small community. Breaking into morgues, hospitals and graveyards was a bit of a bold move if the group was honest in their desire to live normal lives now.
Clyde looked through the collection of photos he had from the scenes of interest. Three morgues, two cemeteries and one hospital had all been hit. Two were in Gingertown and the rest were in Nicky Town. This didn't seem too odd, as the towns were close by, but now, there was suddenly a report coming out of East City, which was quite a distance from the two towns.
'Hey Clyde, we just got another report from Central City, another morgue.' Spoke a voice through Clyde's radio.
Clyde sighed as he pressed a button to respond.
'I'm on my way.' Said Clyde, standing up and grabbing his brown trench coat, which had been draped on the chair behind him.
"I need to get to the bottom of this." Thought Clyde, putting on his coat and heading to his car, in order to examine another mysterious crime scene.
-line break-
Gohan sighed as he enjoyed the feeling of the gentle breeze washing over him.
'This is a great spot, Lime.' Said Gohan, lying on his back.
'Yeah, it is, isn't it?' Replied Lime dreamily, also lying down on the soft grass next to Gohan.
After Cooler's defeat, Gohan had finally allowed himself to relax for a change. Now with Broly here and Cooler taken care of, Gohan finally felt that he could take some time for himself to rest. Ever since the day Raditz had shown up and kidnapped Gohan, the young hybrid had been battling day in and day out without any sort of rest. First it was training with Piccolo, then fighting Vegeta and Nappa, followed by the army of Frieza and the tyrant himself. For a brief moment there had been peace, however, just before Goku could return home, Trunks had arrived to eliminate Frieza and warn them of the android threat, which would then continue into the threat of Cell. After Cell, again, they had to deal with another Saiyan threat, in the form of Broly and finally, a Golden Cooler. With that taken care of, there was at last, for the first time Gohan could remember, no immediate threat to the safety of the earth.
'So Gohan, what are your plans now?' Asked Lime.
'My plans? What do you mean?' Asked Gohan.
'With your life, what do you want to do now?' Explained Lime.
'Hmm, I don't know. I guess I could finally focus on my studies. It might be nice to do something a little less intense all the time… but if my mother finds out, I think she'd work me into the ground…' Started Gohan thoughtfully, before becoming nervous towards the end.
'Isn't there a way for you to study without being forced into it?' Asked Lime.
'Hmm, I doubt it… but yeah, maybe I could ask Bulma for some help. She might have an idea.' Said Gohan, standing up as he did so.
'You're going now!' Exclaimed Lime in disbelief, just as the two were enjoying some peace and quiet.
'Why not?' Asked Gohan.
Lime sighed, before following suit, standing up as well.
'Okay then, cut our meeting short again Gohan, but really, I'm starting to think you don't like hanging out with me.' Teased Lime, causing Gohan to chuckle nervously.
'Well… I mean… oh, I know, why don't you come with me?' Suggested Gohan.
'You don't mean teleport, do you?' Asked Lime warily.
'I mean, we could fly, but it'll take a while if I'm going slow… it won't be so bad if you just close your eyes.' Suggested Gohan.
'I don't know.' Said Lime hesitantly.
'I'll introduce you to Bulma and you can meet Trunks too, the little one.' Said Gohan.
'Ok then.' Agreed Lime, taking a step closer to Gohan, now within arm's length.
'Ok now, Lime, close your eyes and count to three.' Said Gohan, placing his left arm on Lime's shoulder
'One, two, three.' Said Lime obediently.
'You can open your eyes now.' Said Gohan.
Lime opened her eyes and saw she was standing just outside the Capsule Corporation building.
'When did we teleport?' Asked Lime dumbfounded.
'On one.' Said Gohan with a grin.
'I didn't feel a thing.' Commented Lime in shock.
'Well, it helps that you closed your eyes this time. Also, you get comfortable with it after a few dozen times.' Explained Gohan.
Gohan saw Lime nod and decided to ring the doorbell. Gohan waited patiently for a minute with no response, before deciding to make his way in himself.
'Gohan, you can't just break into someone's house.' Whispered Lime.
'It's not breaking in; I'm not breaking anything.' Reasoned Gohan, causing Lime to look at him in disbelief.
'Really now?' Questioned Lime.
'Just close your eyes.' Said Gohan, placing his hand on Lime's shoulder again, before the two teleported inside the building.
'I still think you shouldn't have done that.' Protested Lime.
'I've done it before, besides, it's not like they'd mind anyway.' Said Gohan, before leading Lime into Capsule Corporation, specifically, the living quarters where Bulma, Vegeta and Trunks would be.
'It's actually pretty quiet to be honest, I would have expected more noise usually.' Said Gohan.
'Why's that?' Asked Lime.
'If there was ever anyone addicted to training, it'd be Vegeta.' Said Gohan, before deciding to sense for the Ki of those he was looking for, only to find Tarble's Ki first.
Gohan then started to make his way towards Tarble, hoping to figure out what was going on. Tarble was sitting on a small sofa, resting his head on a clenched fist, deep in thought.
'Hey Tarble, what are you doing?' Asked Gohan, walking over to the gentle Saiyan.
'Oh, hello Gohan, I was just getting ready to leave actually.' Said Tarble.
'You're going back already?' Questioned Gohan in surprise.
'Well, I didn't say much at the time, but, well I was going to do it just around the time Broly and you came by, but I was going to ask Gure to marry me. I only decided not to because of the threat of Cooler, but now that that is taken care of, I would like to go back. It has been nice seeing Vegeta again and meeting the others, but I'm just not accustomed to living here.' Explained Tarble.
'Oh wow, I didn't know Saiyans knew about marriage… but that might be because dad thought it was food and Vegeta doesn't seem the type either…' Admitted Gohan.
'It isn't something Saiyans make a big deal of, but it does happen.' Explained Tarble.
'Well, do you want me to teleport you back?' Asked Gohan.
'I think you'd have a bit of trouble with that, there aren't any particularly noteworthy Ki signatures to focus on back on planet Tech-Tech. Once I'm there you'd be able to find it I think, but right now it might be hard having to navigate through all of space to teleport.' Said Tarble, causing Gohan to no in understanding.
'I see. Do you think you'll come by to visit? I'm sure Vegeta will miss you, even if he won't admit it and I think Broly would as well, maybe… it's hard to tell with him sometimes.' Asked Gohan.
'Maybe down the track. Although, if you need my help, you can teleport to me, I'd be happy to help in an emergency.' Said Tarble.
'Thanks Tarble, but from the sounds of things, you have your own life to take care of. If there is an emergency and we need you though, I'll be there, but I think we can handle things for now. It would be pretty unlikely for another immortal alien to come to earth. That's even with the fact that we revived Planet Namek. Just also long as Frieza and Cooler don't have any other brothers to worry about, we should be fine.' Said Gohan encouragingly.
'Thanks Gohan, it has been a pleasure getting to know you. Let Broly know I'll miss him as well.' Said Tarble, to which Gohan nodded.
'Of course.' Said Gohan, before a mechanical sliding door opened and Vegeta walked in, Trunks pottering beside him.
'The ship is ready Tarble, the woman wants to talk to you about something about a phone number.' Said Vegeta, causing Tarble to nod.
Tarble walked over to Vegeta and Trunks, before squatting down to look at Trunks.
'Goodbye for now little nephew, I'll be sure to visit some time.' Said Tarble, to which Trunks waved and clapped his pudgy hand on Tarble's, which he had offered for a shake.
'Goodbye brother, I promise to come back and visit.' Said Tarble.
'Take care of yourself, Tarble.' Said Vegeta in a rare display of affection, clasping Tarble's left shoulder briefly, before letting his arm fall back to his side.
Tarble nodded, before the door opened again and Tarble went to find Bulma.
'So what are you doing here?' Asked Vegeta, looking at Gohan, ignoring Lime's presence for the moment.
'I came looking for Bulma, I wanted to get some training from her.' Explained Gohan.
'From the woman?' Questioned Vegeta in disbelief, so much so that he didn't notice Trunks walking over to the two guests.
'With science related things, not that kind of training.' Explained Gohan, as Lime squatted down to play with Trunks.
'Hmm, well I suppose something which could help defeat an immortal Cooler can't be entirely useless.' Commented Vegeta.
'You should tell Bulma that, I'm sure she'd be happy to hear it.' Commented Gohan.
'Hmph.' Huffed Vegeta, causing Gohan to laugh.
Trunks suddenly gave a loud laugh, as Lime was making faces to amuse the small child, drawing Vegeta's attention to her.
'Who are you, girl?' Asked Vegeta.
'I'm Lime, Gohan's friend and the new mayor of West City.' Declared Lime, causing Vegeta to look at her in disbelief.
'Of course the humans would elect a pipsqueak.' Commented Vegeta, causing Lime to blow a raspberry at him.
'Really Lime?' Asked Gohan in amusement, only for Lime to continue playing with Trunks, pretending she hadn't heard anything.
'Anyway, how have things been with Trunks?' Asked Gohan.
'He is already comfortable in ten times gravity, as expected of a Saiyan child.' Said Vegeta, causing Gohan to look at him strangely.
'You've started training him? Isn't he two?' Asked Gohan.
'Saiyans were sent to conquer planets at that age. A little bit of training is nothing for a child of a proud warrior race.' Defended Vegeta.
'I guess.' Muttered Gohan, seeing Trunks and Lime enjoying themselves, ignoring their conversation completely.
'Well, that's taken care of. Tarble said he'd give us a ring when he gets home.' Said Bulma, having appeared through the door Tarble had disappeared behind.
'Hey kiddo and another kiddo… what are you doing here?' Asked Bulma, once spotting Gohan and Lime.
'Bulma, this is my friend Lime. I met her before the Cell Games.' Introduced Gohan.
'That's right and I'm a powerful individual.' Said Lime boisterously, causing Bulma to laugh.
'Hey what's so funny? I'm the mayor of West City you know?' Questioned Lime.
'Wow, even my lies were better back when I was a little girl. Who would believe you are the mayor of West City?' Laughed Bulma, only for Gohan to cough as he motioned with his eyes to Vegeta, causing Bulma to supress her laughter.
'I mean it isn't completely unbelievable, but you'd have to at least look the part and overalls don't really pass for the mayoral type.' Finished Bulma, causing Lime to huff.
'Anyway Bulma, Lime and I were discussing what I could do now, and I wanted to train under you. I would just study at home, but I worry mum might go over the top again.' Said Gohan, revealing his reason for seeking out the scientist.
'Well I mean if the work we put in on that remote was any indication, I'd say you have quite the knack for it. I'm sure I can work something out and keep Chi-Chi happy. I'll call it an apprenticeship, that should work for her. Besides, I've been meaning to send her something to help out with Goten. Two Saiyans are hard enough to feed, but three must really be something, even for a princess.' Agreed Bulma easily.
'Thanks Bulma. What do you want to do now, Lime?' Asked Gohan.
'I might just stay and train with this little guy instead.' Said Lime, enjoying playing with Trunks, even when he got a hold of one of her pigtails, before she gently pried his surprisingly strong grip off, causing Vegeta to raise an eyebrow.
'Ok, I'll try to be quick and get you home after I sort a few things out with Bulma.' Said Gohan, before he followed the scientist down a corridor.
'Girl, do you have any fighting experience?' Asked Vegeta.
'Well, my Grandfather fought in a World Marital Arts Tournament and I've picked up a few things here and there.' Said the girl, not paying too much attention the question.
'And how did you get her anyway?' Asked Vegeta.
'Gohan teleported us.' Answered Lime easily, as Trunks managed to grab on to both of her pigtails this time.
Vegeta again raised his brow at this in surprise, before making an odd decision.
'Trunks, let's go. You can come too girl.' Said Vegeta.
Trunks immediately let go of Lime and wriggled out of her grasp, jumping out of her hands and softly landing on the floor, before walking after Vegeta.
'Where are we going?' Asked Lime, deciding to follow the two.
'To train.' Said Vegeta.
