Gohan maneuvered about the clouds and the foreign object became clear. It was a bus full of people.

"Hey! It's the Great Saiyaman from the movie!" said a hostage.

As the people clamored for their hero, Gohan looked out across the horizon, horrified. Cars and other vehicles littered the skyline. Many of them containing people.

Gohan quickly looked back at the bus and noticed the woman herself was on board. The top half of her face was obscured by a large fedora, but he wasn't fooled. Gohan recognized her jumpsuit and her demeanor was far too calm and collected.

"Hey, Gohan!" shouted a distant voice. Gohan winced in fear. Someone else knew his secret identity. He pounded his fist against his head in a rhythmic manner. He should've stayed out of this mess and let the police do their job.

Gohan wrestled with the thought of his family being in danger because of his outed identity. But all of the paranoia turned out for naught as it was just Goten and Trunks.

The tykes came up to Gohan and asked him what he was up to.

Not now. He couldn't take any more drama. But then he got an idea.

Gohan hunched down, making Goten and Trunks lean in for a secret.

"I need your help," Gohan relayed.

"What's the payback?" Trunks replied.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"What do we get in return for helping you?"

Gohan's face burned with anger. He violently whispered, "Seriously!? People's lives are in danger right now!"

Trunks scratched the back of his head, feeling a tad bit ashamed. Goten eyes then lit up like he just got his grand a-ha moment.

"You want us to carry these cars down to the ground, right?" he asked.

"Yes! They are going to fall any second now and we can't have them cause any collateral damage. Too much is at stake."

The rogue woman in the bus tipped her fedora and smirked. Only mere seconds later did she smash her adjacent window to make her escape. She used her gravitational prowess to fly away at booming speed.

"Think of this as a race," Gohan added. "Whoever carries down the most vehicles to the ground wins."

Goten and Trunks both relished the spirit of rivalry and they both transformed into Super Saiyans.

Once the vehicles began to fall, the competition commenced. Gohan estimated about fifty-five vehicles were airbound; with more than half of them containing people.

Trunks got the first leg up by carrying eight cars in each arm. Goten trailed behind with seven cars in tow in each arm.

Mind you, all of this was happening while the vehicles were falling at near terminal velocity.

The incessant cries of the helpless fueled Gohan's rage. There were still twenty-five vehicles left. Many lives hanging in the balance. If even one life was lost, then the thief won.

No way in hell was that gonna happen.

Gohan powered up. His mystic ki illuminated the city. He raised and altered his voice to his Great Saiyaman persona.

"I am the hero of justice! I never forgive evil! I am Great Saiyaman!"

He became a roaring wind, rapturing the remaining vehicles in freefall. Goten, Trunks, Videl, and the rest of the general populace were stunned by Great Saiyaman's surreal speed. Even Goku felt it miles away.
