Hello! I'm back with the Gohan/Videl story I promised long ago; That Golden Fighter! Yay! Finally it is up! Took me some time… xD

Remember, this occurs in an A/U, so there will be things that are different from Canon. Gohan will be more confident and he'll have a similar hairstyle as the one he had at the Cell Games (but, of course, if you want you can picture him with Canon Gohan's hair), Goku is alive and lived the first five years of his life in Vegetasei before being sent to Earth. Bardock and Gine had sent Goku there for his own means he is a little more Saiyan-like, though Grandpa Gohan managed to soften him up and raise him as an Earthling until he died due to a virus when Goku was ten. Planet Vegeta was never destroyed and the Saiyans were never killed. Frieza believed he killed all the Saiyans by destroying Vegetasei's surface, while they were all hiding on tunnels the Tuffles had made long ago. And Planet Vegeta's surface was restored after the Frieza incident. All Saiyans and half-Saiyans have their tails, and the Majin Buu incident already happened. If you want to know more about this A/U, please go check my profile. There I've written a whole timeline explaining the events that take place in this universo, as well as little paragraphs explaining the Mirai timeline, about Super Saiyans, the tails, etc. I'd recommend reading the timeline before reading this so you don't get confused in what's going on, but it's your decision.

The main pairing of this story will of course be Gohan/Videl. There will also be some Goku/Chi-Chi, Vegeta/Bulma, Krillin/18, Bardock/Gine and will also be canon characters paired up with OCs. Raditz/OC, King Vegeta/OC, etc., mainly because their mates/wifes never appeared, and in Raditz's case it never even existed. Maybe there will be Sharpner/Erasa and Lime/OC, but I'm not that sure.

I'll try to make this story as unique as possible. I'm pretty sure there will be ideas you've read somewhere in other fics, but I thinks that's 'cause there's so many people that has tried to do one of this stories. You know, the typical Videl tries to uncover Gohan's secrets kinda thing. But I repeat I'll try to do it as unique as possible.

The beginning of this story takes place about two months before the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament (which while it will take part of this story, it will be more detailed on its own story that I'm planning to write).I've written it on my timeline anyways.

Disclaimer: I don't own Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT or Dragon Ball Kai. They're all property of FUNimation, Toei Animation, Fuji TV and of course the great Akira Toriyama!

Sorry for the long A/N. I hope you enjoy your reading!

EDIT: Goku's mother has been revealed! Her name is Gine and she'll appear in Toriyama-sensei's Jaco the Galactic Patrolman's bonus comic, in April 4. I didn't know about her when I wrote this friggin' long A/N, so that's why I initially wrote Bardock will be paired up with an OC. I've edited it though. Basically, Gine is a canon character as she is created by Toriyama so yeah :) She is a Saiyan with a gente personality that didn't like fighting so much and was in Bardock's team. I've written more of what I know about her in my profile in my profile. I'm really happy to finally know who Goku's mother is! I just can't wait to see how she'll look like. You just had to make us wait 30 years to know who Goku's mom is, right, Toriyama-san? xD Oh, and thanks to Engel2092 for telling me about Gine. I wouldn't have found out about her anytime son without you. Thanks! xD

That Golden Fighter

By Marorin5

She didn't get him. He was not a normal guy—that she knew. She knew he was hiding something. They had only known each other for a week, but Videl Satan knew Son Gohan had secrets. Mysterious secrets. She just knew it. And she had many facts to prove her point.

His time of appearance was weird in the first place. There was this new hero in town known as the "Golden Fighter". This hero that was said to look like a blonde-haired teenager with superpowers. Some even said he was the Cell Games' famous Delivery Boy as a teenager. Videl didn't want to believe it, but it sounded pretty logical. At the Cell Games, the Delivery Boy looked as a boy around nine or ten years old, eleven years old maximum. He actually looked as a boy her age. In these seven years, he should have grown as well, right? But why would he come back now? To defeat criminals? To save the day? She was already there, and she could do things on her own, no sweat! So why did that guy butt in other's business? But back to the point, Gohan had appeared in school like any normal student. That was true. But he appeared only ten days after the Golden Fighter's first appearance!

It could've been coincidence, but Videl didn't believe it. The fact the Golden Fighter and Gohan were wearing the same clothes was no coincidence. The only problem was Gohan was not blonde. Then again, those guys in the clips of the Cell Games could turn their hair blonde. But her father had said those were just tricks…

Also, he didn't say much about himself. Well, that wasn't that bad, but still. Why wouldn't he want to tell people about himself? The only thing she knew was he lived with his parents, his twelve years old sister and his seven year old brother at the 439 East District. 439 East District! That place was five hours by car! Yet he came to school every day like it was nothing! It was so bizarre.

Other thing was the baseball game incident. That same day Gohan made his appearance, in Physical Education, they were told to play baseball. Gohan ended up in her team. The thing was, when Sharpner was sure to make a home run, Gohan just jumped 8 meters and got the ball! Eight meters! He said it had to do with some new shoes he had but somehow she didn't buy it just like anyone else did. Then it was his turn to bat, and he did a home run. Where did the ball end up? No one knows.

She still remembered that day. The day Gohan entered to her life. That was only a week ago, yet it felt it has been so long. She remembered perfectly when the wild haired young man entered her classroom and introduced himself.

"Attention class!" the voice of the teacher called. "Today, we'll give the welcome to a new classmate. A classmate that actually knows to read and write. He had perfect score in all the entry exams. You might want to learn a few things from him."

Videl blinked. A new classmate? She shrugged. Just a normal guy, no doubt. Well, not normal… The teacher said he had perfect score on all his entry exams. Videl sighed. A nerd, no doubt. All the class was muttering about the new classmate—or as they considered him—a nerd.

"If he had perfect score he is obviously a nerd," Sharpner said with a sigh.

"Aw, don't be so sure!" Erasa said. "He might be a nice guy! He may even become your friend, Sharpie!"

"Yeah, whatever," Sharpner muttered, obviously not believing that.

"That's your cue, young man," the teacher said. A teenager came in. Videl blinked. Well, she wasn't expecting this for a guy who had perfect scores on his exam. He didn't look like a nerd. He looked just… like a normal guy. Well, somewhat. He had wild, unruly, black hair and black eyes. He had somewhat pale skin. He wore a black, long-sleeved shirt with grey pants and black sneakers. Also, he wore some kind of… furry… belt around his waist. She had to admit, he was kind of handsome… Kind of.

"Hello. My name is Gohan. Son Gohan," the teenager introduced himself. "Nice to meet all of you."

"What kind of name is Gohan?" a jock asked in a whisper. Videl heard that comment, but she didn't mind. Her mind was elsewhere. 'He seems familiar,' Videl thought. 'But where have I seen him?'

"Alright, my boy, you can pick a seat so we can begin our class," the teacher said to Gohan.

"Sure," he said with a smile. He then turned, looking with his eyes for an empty seat.

Erasa stood up. "Hey, cutie!" she called. Gohan glanced at her. "Here's a seat," she said, pointing the seat right besides of her.

"Oh, thanks!" Gohan smiled and walked towards the seat. When he arrived, he smiled at Erasa. "Thanks for the seat," he said.

"No problem. I'm Erasa, with an E!" Erasa introduced herself. "The girl sittin' besides me is my best friend, Videl. And the boy over there is my other friend, Sharpner."

Gohan smiled as he sat on the chair. "Nice to meet you!"

"Same," Sharpner replied. "You don't look like someone to have perfect score on all the entry exams. You surprised me, Brains."

Gohan chuckled. "Heh. Well, let's just say I had a strict teacher."

"Hey, Gohan! Let me tell you who Videl's Pops is! You'll be surprised," Erasa said happily.

"Really? Who is it?" Gohan asked.

"The one and only, Hercule Satan!" Erasa replied.

"What? Mr. Satan!" Gohan replied amazed. 'He has a daughter? She is his daughter? What the heck? She looks nothing like Mr. Satan!'

"See! You were surprised!" Erasa said with a grin.

"Well, yeah," Gohan replied. "I mean, it sure would be nice to be related to a celebrity and all."

"Yup. Of course, being the friend of a celebrity isn't that bad either," she said with a wink. "Though Sharpner and I used to hang out with Videl way before her Dad saved the world. What can I say? We all owe him. Without him, everyone would've been killed by either Cell or now by that wizard who played with people's minds."

"Good thing Hercule gave them both what they deserved," Sharpner stated.

"Yeah, I guess…" Gohan replied, not really happy all the hard work he and his friends did was thrown into the dust.

"But, enough about Videl and her Dad. Let's talk about you," Erasa suggested. "So, say, in what school you were before coming here?"

"None, really. Actually, I was homeschooled," Gohan stated.

"Really? Well look at that!" Erasa said with a giggle. "Do you live at an apartment in the city or somewhere else?"

"Nah. I live at home with my parents and my two siblings."

"You have siblings?" Erasa asked.

Gohan nodded. "A younger sister and brother."

Erasa smiled. "Aw! How old are they?"

"My sister's twelve right now, and my brother's seven."

Erasa giggled. "Aw, how cute! I'd love to meet them someday. Say, where do you live at?"

"I live in the 439 East District, in Mount Paozu," Gohan stated.

"What!" Erasa cried as she stood up. "439 East District in Mount Paozu?! You live there?!"

"Miss Erasa!" the teacher's voice boomed. "I understand you'd like to get to know your new classmate but could you please not do it in the middle of class?"

Erasa quickly reacted. She sat down quickly and hid behind her book. "That's five hours away by car," Erasa stated in a whisper. "How do you do it?"

"Oh, that…" Gohan laughed nervously. "I've got a family friend that live there but works here. He has a jetcopter, so he brings me every day. He is a really nice guy," Gohan lied.

"He sure sounds like it," Erasa agreed.

"You're lucky he brings you here, or you'd take ages," Sharpner commented.

"Yeah, I am, aren't I?"

"Now I know who you are!" Videl butted into the conversation suddenly.

"Huh?" Gohan, Erasa and Sharpner asked in unison.

"You're that guy I talked to after the bank robbery this morning!" Videl stated.

"We talked? Oh, yeah! Now I remember! Woah, I can't believe we meet again! Crazy, huh?" Gohan grinned at her.

Videl nodded. "I guess."

"You mean, after the Golden Fighter appeared?" Erasa asked.

"Golden Fighter?" Gohan blinked.

"You don't know? Well, I guess it's because you live so far away you're out of the gossip loop. You see, ten days ago a hero with golden hair appeared out of nowhere. It is said he looked like a teenager like us, but with super-strength and powers. Up to now, he's only appeared three times. No one knows who he is or what he is called. Some people say he is the Delivery Boy from the Cell Games grown up. It's a real mystery who that guy is."

"Woah…" Videl noted Gohan seemed kind of nervous for some reason. "How weird! I wonder who he is?" he lied.

"Hey," Videl called. "Some guy that saw the Golden Fighter this morning told me how he looked like. He had a black shirt, grey pants, and black sneakers." Gohan looked down at his clothes, realizing that was the description of his clothes. "Sound familiar?" Videl asked.

"Uh…"

"Woah, look at that! What a coincidence! You and the Golden Fighter must have similar likes!" Erasa said, oblivious to her best friend's suspicions.

"Yeah! What a coincidence!" Gohan lied. "I mean, I never thought I dressed up like a superhero would! Man!"

Sharpner wondered why would Videl point out that with such… suspicion in her voice. Then it hit him. "Wait, Videl… You didn't really think Gohan is the Golden Fighter, right?" he asked. "I mean, he isn't even blonde!"

"Yeah, that's right," Gohan agreed, happy for the help Erasa and Sharpner were unknowingly giving him.

'That's true,' Videl thought. 'But those guys in the videos of the Cell Games could turn their hair blonde, too. Then again, Dad said those were just some tricks. But still…' She gave one last glance to her new classmate before turning her attention to the class.

And for the past week she's been trying to find out more about both the Golden Fighter and Son Gohan. She just couldn't help but think they were connected somehow.

Gohan was an enigma. He wasn't normal. And for some reason, she just had to know why he was so different. She just had to. Don't get her wrong. Gohan had been nice to her for the past week and she saw him as a friend, but she still thought he was hiding something—something big. And she wouldn't stop until she had her answers.

'Just wait, Gohan,' Videl thought, glancing at Gohan, who was paying attention to class. 'I'll find out what you're hiding, and what your relationship with the Golden Fighter is. And I won't give up until I have my answers. I'll uncover your secrets no matter what it takes!'

There it is! How's that for a first chapter? Please, leave a review and tell me what you think about this, and if you have a suggestion or something please tell me. I've got many ideas of events that will lead Videl into uncover Gohan's secret slowly, but I'd love to hear other suggestions too! Also, please check my other stories. I don't know how frequently I'll update this, but I'll try to do it in a 'normal' pace, you know, not with a whole month between each update. But, of course, real life gets in the way, and also, I've got two other stories (that will last round 6 chapters each) that are in progress right now and I would like to finish them. But don't worry! I'm already workin' for the second chapter for this one! ;)

By the way; yes, Gohan has a sister. Her name is Son Chimaki, and she's around four and a half years younger than her brother. Right now she's twelve, but she'll be thirteen in some few months. For her appearance imagine Chi-Chi but with spiky hair and with her hair usually in a high ponytail. About her personality... you'll have to read and find out.

Until next time! See ya! :)
