Year 767

After the defeat of the monster Cell, the Earth has a new hero. The camera even though badly damaged was able to film the ending of the tournament. Instead of World Champion Mr. Statan saving the like everyone assumed he would, a young boy with blond hair that somehow became black. A child had just defeated a Cell.

Year 774

It was like every other day at Orange Star High School. Erasa Shine sat in her seat waiting for the professor to come back. Her friend Sharpner was off trying to flirt with their classmate, Videl, leaving her alone. Erasa had tried to befriend the strong girl but had little success. The girl didn't trust others easily. Honestly, it made sense why she didn't trust others. She is the daughter of Hercule Satan and ever since the battle with Cell their lives had gone down the drain.

With the loss of his wife, Hercule spent more time with women that flocked to him because he is the World Champion. Videl wasn't happy with this but she never voiced her opinion about it. No one could really go against the strongest person in the world. His match with Cell should have been an easy victory for him. Even after his quick lost to Cell, everyone still believed that he would come back after the weirdos that decided to come were defeated but that never happened.

An unbelievable battle then started with Cell and a man with golden blond hair which the world would soon know as Son Goku. Punches to fast for a person to see and explosions happening every two seconds, nothing about their fight made sense. The world was sure it was all fake and Hercule telling them this was even more proof. When the challenger forfeited the match he sent in someone no one would have thought. Son Goku had sent in his son.

The boy looked just like his father. He had his green eyes and black hair with the only difference was their style of clothing. The match between he and Cell was unwatchable at first. The monster manhandles the boy and later created little versions of himself to fight the boy's friends. Once the death of the large red-head fight, the world shed a tear the boy who screams could be heard around the world.

The rest was history. The boy defeated Cell but not without any more sacrifices. The boy father had paid the ultimate sacrifice trying to get Cell away from the Earth when he threatened to blow himself up and when Cell came back he had shot a man with long hair. Even with the death of his father and two of friends, the boy managed to kill the monster.

It took a moment before anyone could comprehend what just happened. The child had just saved the world. It was that day that the world turned against Hercule and saw Gohan, the boy who defeated Cell, as their hero. Endorsements, reporters, and fans flocked to the young boy. They even named a city after him and his father, Son City. Wanting to know more about the hero reporters dug through his family history to find that he came from a fighting family.

Both parents had taken part in the World Martial Arts Tournament. His mother, Chi-Chi, appeared in the 23rd while his father dates all the way back to the 21st. Even though no more information could be found out about Goku's side of the family but it became public knowledge that Gohan was the grandson of the Ox-King through his mother.

Erasa snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the door open. The professor had just walked in with a new student by his side. Even if he looked skinny at first Erasa could tell that he had muscles. He looked like a proper type guy and he seems to be not from around here.

"Everyone I would like to introduce Son Gohan. He will be a student here for now on."

"H-hello."

The class immediately broke out into chatters. Erasa watched as Gohan sighed. It seemed to look like he was disappointed in something. On the side of the room, Videl glared at the teen. Today could not get any worse for her.

"Settle down class. Settle down," the professor said. "Mr. Son you may take the seat next to Miss. Shine, raise your hand."

"Over here!"

Gohan walked to the back of the class where Erasa was. The blond gave him a smile that seemed to wash away his doubt that he had about coming to school.

"Don't worry I'll catch you up on the things that we're doing," she whispered as class started.

"Thank you."

The class went by as normal or as normal as it could be. Erasa noticed people would look back at them but in reality, it was only Gohan that they were looking at. Gohan himself didn't notice it. He was to busy listing to the professor to notice.

The next class was PE. They were playing baseball today so, after everyone changed clothes the class met up on the field. Gohan was looking at the field when Erasa walked up to him.

"So Gohan how's your first day so far?"

"I was nervous at first, but I'm learning a lot."

"Huh."

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't think you would be a nerd."

"H-hey! I'm not a nerd."

"Whatever you say Gohan."

"Everyone in your positions!" the coach yelled.

"I'm glad that I'm on your team Gohan," Mark, a classmate of theirs, said.

"Yeah me too," Suzie agreed.

"Thanks."

"Hey, you don't mind after this you give me your autograph right?" Mark asked.

"So that is that what they want?" Erasa thought.

"S-sure."

"Alright!"

"Can I have one too?"

"If you really want one."

"Thanks, Gohan!"

"Good luck Gohan. I won't hold back just because we're on different teams," Erasa said. She wanted to get his mind off of what just happened.

"Right! This should be fun."

Even though it was basic knowledge that Gohan is a special type of guy, it still shocked everyone that he could jump ten feet in the air. Gohan, who had no clue that he was already standing out, threw the baseball as softly as he could. Even after he held back most of his power, the catcher still fell backward because of the pressure.

Gohan was feeling good at his actions until he noticed the looks that he was getting.

"Did I throw it to hard?" he wondered.

"Gohan that was amazing!"

"I don't know anyone who can jump that high!"

Erasa watched as Gohan got swarmed by their classmates. Everyone seemed to be around him except Erasa and Videl. Erasa smiled at the at her classmate but got the cold shoulder. Videl was to busy glaring at Gohan. Erasa could feel the anger coming from her.

"Let's get back to the game!" the coach yelled.

Gohan hummed to himself as he closed his locker. Besides what happened on the baseball field and his classmates' reaction to him, today was a good day. He was all ready to go when someone bumped into him making him slam into the lockers.

"Excuse me," he said.

"Don't talk to me!"

"S-sorry!"

Gohan watched as the dark hair teen storm off. He recognized her from his class but other than that she was a total mystery to him.

"Sorry about her."

"Erasa. Who was that?"

"That's Videl Satan the current World Champion's daughter."

"Satan! I didn't know a guy like him had a daughter!"

"Yeah, she's a little rough around the edges when it comes to people."

"I see."

Gohan rubbed the back of his head. He still didn't understand the why she, he hated him. He knew that Satan got backlash about losing so easily in the fight against Cell. Maybe that had something to do with it.

"So, Gohan are you joining any clubs?"

"A lot of people has asked me to join their clubs but I rather focus on my studies."

"And don't you live far away? That gotta be a pain commuting every day?"

"It's not so bad," he laughed. "Well, I see you tomorrow."

"See you."

Gohan decided instead of just flying off once he was out of school that he would wait and find an empty area to leave from. He didn't want anyone to find him and make a fuss. Him being famous left his mind until he was bombarded by fans. It took him ten minutes to escape the crowd.

"How can anyone take this?"

He was about to fly off until he noticed two people in an alleyway. A man was mugging a young woman. Without hesitation, Gohan came between them. He grabbed the man's wrist and stared him down.

"You shouldn't be doing this."

"Aren't you Earth's savior?" the woman whispered.

"I don't care who you is! Get out of my way pretty boy!"

The mugger tried to punch Gohan with his free hand, but he missed and Gohan head butted him in response. Once the man was unconscious, Gohan started to float with him in hand.

"I'm going to take him to the police now."

"Alright."

Gohan let out a nervous chuckle when he saw the heart eyes that the woman was giving to him. After a quick stop at the police station, Gohan decided to take a detour to Bulma's house to see if she had anything to help him with his problem. He knew that Son City had high crime rate and he needed something to help him fight it without being noticed.

The journey to West City was a quick one since he could go as fast as he wanted. Even though it has been a while since his last visit, Gohan knew where Bulma would be and even got a treat of Trunks being with her. He guessed that Vegeta was training.

"Gohan!"

"It's good to see you."

"Good to see you guys."

"What brings you here?" Bulma asked putting down her mug.

"Well, I was wondering do you have anything that could help me fight in Son City without being noticed. It's kinda hard to help people when they surround me."

"You are your father's son alright. Give me a minute."

"Man, Gohan it's so cool that you have a whole city named after you."

"You really think so?"

"I'm back! This watch will help you about your problem."

"That was quick. Thanks, Bulma!"

Gohan put on the watch and got a good look it. He wondered how it was going to help him.

"Just press the two buttons on the side at the same time."

"Mom can I have one too!"

Gohan did as he was told and pressed the button. His outfit changed and he even got a helmet that covered his face. Gohan could not stop smiling at his outfit while Trunks went pale at the sight of it.

"On second thought, I'm fine."

"Are you Trunks because this looks pretty awesome," Gohan said as he twirled around.

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Now no one will know who you are."

"You're a genius Bulma. Thanks!"

"You flatter me Gohan."

"This is gonna make things a lot easier."

The next day Erasa was on her phone before class started. She was looking up more information on the new superhero that been helping out citizens today. The city needed someone like him going out beating the bad guys.

"Morning Erasa."

"Oh, morning Gohan. Did you hear about this new superhero going around? I think his name is the Great Sayoman?"

"Great Saiyaman!"

"Huh?"

"Well uh, that's his name the Great Saiyaman."

"So you heard about him too even though you live so far away?"

"Y-yeah. I heard it on the way here. A lot of people were talking about him."

"Why don't you and your family move here? Wouldn't it be easier to get to school that way?"

"It would be but we really love our home. I actually don't mind the commute to here."

"Because you can fly right? I remember seeing it on tv."

"Y-yeah, I can fly."

"Weird how the Great Saiyaman can fly too huh."

"Well uh, it's possible for anyone to fly you see yeah so uh he probably learn it from somewhere!"

"If anyone can fly maybe I should come over to your house so that you teach me can teach me."

"What?"

"Just kidding."

Gohan could feel his face heat up. He didn't know where that came from. The teacher then came into the room to start the class. Gohan sat in his seat and got his books out. Unknown to him, Videl had heard his entire conversation with Erasa. The gears in her head started moving at her realization.

"Time to get off your high horse Earth's savior."

A few days have passed. Gohan has enjoyed his time as the Great Saiyaman. It is a better afterschool activity than any club he saw. He gets to help people and get any extra publicly. Nothing could go wrong or so he thought.

Gohan was running late to class this morning since his Great Saiyaman duties took longer than usual today. Everyone was already in class so the halls were empty. All he needed was a notebook from his locker then he would be all set.

"Gohan."

Gohan jumped at the voice. He turned around and was surprised at the person calling him. She should have already been in class.

"Videl?"

"You're late today."

"Yeah, I overslept."

"Lair! You're the Great Saiyaman aren't you?"

"W-what are you talking about Videl!? I just overslept is all."

"You can't lie to me. I've been watching you Gohan so I know what you been doing."

"Please don't tell anyone. My family and I are already in the public's eye we don't need anymore."

"Now why should hold my tongue Mr. Saiyaman?"

"Please Videl. I'll do anything."

"Anything huh? Well, then I want you in the 25th World Tournament."

"HUH?!"

"Yeah, I want to humiliate you in front of everyone just like you did to my dad."

"Listen Videl, I never meant anything bad to happen to you or your father. I don't wish any bad on anyone."

"I don't care about your wishes. You just better be at the tournament or else."

"What if we go on a date instead? Doesn't that sound nice?"

Videl glared at him before walking off. Gohan had no say so in this matter. He dragged his feet all the way to class. He could not believe his luck. There was no way he could talk about his problem with Erasa since she had no clue that he was the Great Saiyaman.

After school and his afternoon crime watch, Gohan headed back over to Capsule Corporation to visit Bulma. The World Tournament doesn't allow headgear like his helmet. Knowing Bulma she could fix his problem.

"So you're joining the tournament out of blackmail from that clown's daughter," Bulma queried.

"Yes. This is the only way she'll keep my secret."

"Well, I have just the equipment to hide your identity during the tournament."

Bulma gave Gohan some sunglasses and a white bandana to wrap around his head. The two of them seemed so pleases with the new edition to the outfit. Trunks, who has been watching them, didn't share their enthusiasm for the outfit.

"Nice! I didn't know it would be this simple!"

"What do you think Trunks? Pretty cool right?" Gohan asked.

"No comment."

"Honestly Gohan you can win without even trying," Bulma pointed out. "There's no fun in that."

"How 'bout this? This tournament is you go, I'll go too!" Vegeta offered as he entered the room.

"You want to join Vegeta?"

"While you were living it easy, I've been training so now the power gap between us is now revised," he replied.

"That's right! Gohan you haven't been training all these years. Are you still able to change to Super Saiyan 2? Bulma wondered.

"Wait! So you and Dad are gonna fight?! That's so cool!" Trunks marveled.

"Hey, maybe I should join too."

"Did anyone else hear that?" Trunks wondered.

"Dad? Dad, is that you?"

"Kakarot?"

"Yep! It's me!" How's everyone doing?"

"Everyone's great! How have you been doing Dad?"

"I'm doing well even though this is the Afterlife."

"Are you really going to be able to join the tournament with us?"

"Yeah! I asked Baba could be there for one day on Earth to join. I can't wait to fight you and Vegeta."

"Great!"

"This is excellent. Everyone should be ready... I've become pretty strong."

"Me too! I see you all later."

"Mom, what just happen?"

"Don't worry about it. And Gohan you should tell your Mom and Krillin about this. Piccolo would probably like to know too."

"Right!"

"None of them stands a chance against me," Vegeta chuckled.

"Oh yeah, Vegeta! You should dress like me in the tournament to hide your identity."

"What! I don't care about things like that!"

"Well, I see you guys later."

"Bye Gohan!"

Gohan decided to first head to Krillin to tell him the news. Krillin was living at Master Roshi's house for the time being since he had no income coming in. He now had a family to take care of now.

"What! No way! Goku is gonna compete this is amazing!"

"Goku? Well whaddya know," Roshi said.

"Well if you, Goku, and Vegeta are joining there's no reason for me to be there."

"Aw, come on Krillin."

"I know it would be great in all, but I have to start training again and I don't know how my wife would feel about that."

A ball suddenly bounced out of the house. A little girl chased after it. She looked up at Krillin and smiled.

"Hey, Dad! Get the ball!"

"There you go Marron."

"She's adorable Krillin! Hey, how would you like to see your dad compete in a martial arts tournament?"

"First, she would like to know if there's any prize money involved."

Gohan and Krillin looked to see Android 18 in the door frame.

"Oh, hey! Yeah, they pay out to the top 5 spots. The overall winner gets paid 10 million Zeni then it goes down to 5 million for the second place and third place gets 3 million."

"Enter Krillin, I will!"

"Hey, Dad if fight I'll watch you."

"Come on Krillin!"

"If you two think I should then fine."

"Maybe I should join too," Roshi joked.

"No way, you're too old!" Marron yelled.

"Hey Gohan, let's not tell Piccolo about this so I'll have a better chance at of getting into the top five," Krillin whispered.

"I don't know Krillin. I was going to tell him too."

"Alright then if you can't do me this one favor than I'll gonna have to tell you what I think of your outfit."

"What are you talking about? This is the pinnacle of style. I think you lost your fashion touch living out here for so long."

Krillin stared at his longtime friend. How can someone as smart as him make such a bad style decision? Whoever gave him that to him must have just as bad style.

"Chiao! See you at the tournament!" Gohan yelled flying off.

The next stop for Gohan was the Lookout. There Piccolo, Dende, and Mr. Popo greeted him.

"If Goku is joining than it will be a tournament to remember," Piccolo stated.

"So what do you say? Are you gonna join?"

"Sure kid. Sounds like fun."

"I'll bet Dedne would enjoy watching the tournament," Popo said.

"Yeah, you should come!"

"No thanks. I rather stay up here and watch everyone."

"I do have question Gohan. You're not gonna wear that to the tournament are you?" Piccolo asked.

"What? Man, not you too! You don't think my outfit looks good?"

"Hm, Gohan I can't lie to you. It's ridiculous."

After their brief chat, Gohan headed back home to tell his family the news. He realized during the flight that he hasn't even asked his mother could he join. Even though she has more lenient over the years, she still had a say so in what he does. He would have to play his cards right. He decided to tell her over dinner since that seemed like the perfect time.

"What! Oh my gosh, Goku is coming back after all this time! This is unbelievable" Chi-Chi yelled. "I hardly know what to think! Your father is really coming home."

She grabbed Goten who was eating right next to her and picked him up.

"Great news son you get to meet your daddy. Isn't that wonderful? You get to meet your daddy!"

Her emotions got the best of her and tears started to fall at the thought of having Goku around. Gohan couldn't help but smile at that. While he and Goten lost a father she had lost a husband.

"Wait, I don't people in Otherworld get old. Maybe I should I get a facial and do my hair different? What do you think boys?"

"Sure mom. By the way, since Dad is competing in the tournament you think I can compete as well."

"What did you say Gohan?"

"I would like your permission to compete in it with Dad and miss some school so I can train for it."

"What are you serious?!"

"Yes, of course."

"Gohan you know your studies take priority over fighting!"

"But Mom, Dad is only going to be here for one day!"

"You're going to college soon and you need to be preparing for that!"

"But if I win the 10 million Zeni from the tournament and with the money, we already get from royalties from all of the things they made about me; we can pay for mine, Goten, and even our children's college funds!"

"We could? We could! Our whole family will be filled with PHDs! Of course, you can join Gohan! Of course!"

Gohan signed in relief. Just mention the college fund and any parent would go with your idea.

After dinner, Gohan and Goten got ready for bed. Even though Goten had his own room made, he liked sharing one with his big brother.

"Hey, Goten I'm gonna need your help me train alright?"

"Me?"

"Yeah, I need someone strong to help me out."

"Alright!"

Gohan was about to fall asleep until Goten started to talk again.

"Hey Gohan, what is our dad like?"

"He's like an angel Goten."

"What's an angel like?"

"Well, you know they're watching over you and always have your back."

"Wow."

It has been a couple of days since Erasa last saw Gohan. She wondered if he was sick or if something bad has happen to him. Videl has been in a good mood lately maybe she had something to do with his disappearance. The last time Gohan did come to class he did seem a little depressed.

"Well there's only one thing to do," Erasa told to herself. She was going to go over to his house.

She remembered where Gohan lived from one of their conversations. Since she didn't know if he was getting the notes for class, Erasa made copies of hers. She bought a bunch of snacks for her three-hour trip.

When she laid in front of his house, Gohan was nowhere in sight. She was instead greeted by what she could she only guess as his mother since a sister never was mentioned by him. She bowed and gave her a large smile wanting to give off a good first impression.

"Hello. I'm Gohan's friend from school and since he hasn't been coming lately I thought he might want some of the notes that he missed."

"Gohan's friend?"

As if on cue, Gohan along with Goten ran up to them. Gohan was surprised to Erasa at his home.

"What's going on we saw the airplane on our way back?" Goten asked.

"Erasa what are you doing here?"

"Notes," she answered holding them up.
