Truths of the Past

Written by: Northerner7


"Ha Ha Ha. Thank you! Thank you! Remember ladies and gentleman, I Hercule Satan, am the World Martial Arts Champion and the slayer of Cell! And to commemorate this day, May 26th the anniversary of the Cell Games, ZTV and I have a special surprise for you. Actual Footage from the Cell Games with an added ending. Ha Ha Ha now witness my great defeat of Cell!"

'Oh kami I can't take Hercule anymore.' thought Bulma. 'If he continues to parade around like this insulting my best friend and ridiculing his sacrifice I might just snap on him.'

The footage rolls, and you can see Hercule and the camera crew arriving. Eventually his pupils show up begging Hercule for the chance to battle Cell. They charge off and are pushed out of the ring by Cell's energy. Surprisingly to Bulma, it next shows Goku get up to fight skipping Hercule's embarrassing defeat. After his battle Goku goes to call on his son to take his place but instead a voice actor is used and he says instead.

"Son, come here Cell and I are really hungry, so please go out and get us some take out, and ask the Champ if he needs anything."

At that moment the screen switches to actors and a boy who barely looks like Gohan at all goes up to Mr. Satan and faints after praising Mr. Satan's awesomeness. Hercule laughs and promises to protect the boy and save the world. He then runs on to the ring and calls Cell out. Rushing at Cell he punches him once while yelling his patented "SATAN PUNCH" and Cell's head flys off and his body explodes in a puff of smoke. Turning to the crowd Hercule flashes his V sign declaring his defeat of Cell. The camera then pans to the z actors who all are on their knees worshiping Hercule as the greatest. Then the Goku look alike crawls over and kisses Mr. Satan's boot and says.

"Thank you so much Mr. Satan, I was too weak to even hurt Cell and I was scared for my son. Thankfully you promised to protect him. And you saved the whole world with a single punch, you are my hero Mr. Satan!"

Bulma's jaw was wide open, her face was a dangerous red and a vein on her forehead was twitching so badly you would think it was dancing. As Hercule walked back to the podium at the front of the large crowd he flashed his V sign and let out another huge laugh. Inside his head he was thankful that he had a speech writer because even he was slightly nervous addressing a crowd of every dignitary, king, and rich person on the planet. But then forgetting that he jumped right into his final speech.

"So as you can see I AM THE GREATEST MAN ALIVE! YEAH! Now I would like to take this chance to tell you a bit about the tricksters who showed up at the Cell Games. From what I have gathered most of them were involved in several of the Tenkaichi Budokai's before I competed. And I would like to call out all of them for their tricks as the cowards they are. Real martial artists don't use those tricks because they are stong and actually respect the sport. And I think the World needs to take a moment all together to laugh at those men as the jokesters they are. HA HA HA HA HA!"

At this point Bulma was so mad she stood up and walked out. As she walked out the door to the building she let out a scream of rage.
'Why did we let that complete ass hole take credit? Not only has he made martial arts a joke in the past couple years he also continues to insult my best friends sacrifice and his death. That's it I can't take it, that bastard is going down!' As Bulma was thinking this all to her self, 2 men walked up to her, decked out in black suits with black sunglasses, once the approached her one reached out and grabbed her shoulder. Being shaken out of her thoughts Bulma whirled around, seeing the 2 she yelled.

"WHAT? Why did you just grab my shoulder! Don't make me call my husband I am pissed right now and you don't want to deal with him."

The taller of the 2 men, the one who had grabbed her shoulder said. "We know Mrs. Brief. That's actually part of the reason we are here. If you would be so kind as to wait with us for a moment King Furry should be coming out. He wishes to talk to you."

"Fine I will wait."

Several minutes past and then the King of the World, King Furry himself walked out. Seeing Bulma and his 2 agents he headed their way.

"Hello there Mrs. Brief it is a pleasure to meet you, I am King Furry but please call me Balto. Not many people know that that is my actual name kind of funny isn't it?"

Chuckling to herself Bulma responded. "It is an honor to meet you Balto, and please call me Bulma, Mrs. Brief is my mother. Your agents here said you have something you want to talk to me about?"

"Ahh yes, First I have some questions, Since Capsule Corp. is the leader in most scientific fields would I be wrong in saying you have several observation satellites circling the world?"

"Well yes sir, I launched our first one myself about 20 years ago."

"I see now forgive me for being forward but you were close friends with Son Goku correct? I have had my men scavenging all over the globe for information about him and about several events that have occurred in the past 20 years. I believe that a majority of them involve Mr. Son himself. Every time we get any kind of lead we end up following it to Capsule Corp."

"Balto sir, Son Goku died 3 years ago on this day. So if you are trying to find him I think you ca-"

"Ahem thank you for telling me Bulma but I was already aware of his death. I have a business venture I would like to talk with you about, please step into my jet with me. We can head to my castle and discuss the finer points."

Hours later Bulma found herself grinning ear to ear walking out of the Royal Castle. Mentally through their bond. :: Vegeta you are going to love what just happened.::

::Ahh spare me Woman unless it's humilating one of the brats or the oaf i'm not going to enjoy it.::

Smirking to herself Bulma replied :: Just you wait, tomorrow i'm going to need your help flying me around and finding everyone.::
