A/N: Wow! I haven't continued this in… a while! The main reason is that I've had some epic writer's block for this chapter, and I'm still not satisfied with what will most likely happen here.

But please, bear with me through this and I'll try to be better.

Chapter 4

Problems

"Move it now!" Hollered a large construction worker at Gohan, Sekkai and Onio who were currently standing in front of a dense forest.

"No way!" Declared the female of the group, "These trees are alive too and deserve the same rights you have! Besides where will all the dragons live?" She then pointed to all the animals congregated behind her.

"Not. My. Problem. Now move or I'm going through you!" The construction worker said as he jumped back into his large yellow bulldozer and started the engine.

Gohan growled at the man's nature. Although not as caring about nature as Sekkai, Gohan had a love for the forests because they reminded him of Earth, and all the times he would play with his own dragon: Icarus. As for Onio… well they promised him some food and he had little else to do.

"We're not moving!" Declared the demi-Saiyan, "So you can take your bulldozer and shove it up your…"

"What's going on here?" Called a familiar voice from above and Gohan scowled as he recognized it, though the others had to wait for the figure to land, before bowing upon realization that it was Vegeta. Gohan remained standing however with his arms folded.

Vegeta ignored this disrespect and repeated his question, "I was flying overhead, expecting to see development for the new settlement , and I find you all having a conversation. What is the meaning of all this?"

"Well, um, your majesty…" Started the construction worker, "I was about to begin work when these kids showed up and stopped me. I swear I was going to get them to move as you arrived sir."

"King Vegeta." Started Sekkai, "I realize that we need more housing and all…"

"…but there are other spots with no animals or trees." Continued Gohan.

"Yeah." Finished Onio as he munched down on an apple.

"True." The king said as he put a hand on his chin in contemplation and Gohan sighed silently in relief, thinking that perhaps they would make progress today and the animals would be spared after all.

These hopes were shattered when a loud bang occurred, and Gohan looked up to see Vegeta with his palm aimed at the forest and his glove smoking. As for the forest itself, it was engulfed in flames and the cries of various creatures could be heard throughout the area.

The female Saiyan stared in horror as Onio dropped his apple and Gohan clenched his fists as he stared at the smirking ruler, "There may be other spots, but I prefer this one."

Gohan was then caught by surprise as an iron fist hit his gut, causing him double over in pain. The owner of the fist turned out to belong to Vegeta who stared at the boy with an icy cold glare, "Don't forget your place, boy. If you ever growl at me again, or even think of challenging my orders, I will make your life very difficult, understand?"

Rage entered the demi-Saiyan's mind as he held back his transformation. This was what Vegeta wanted: a fight. But Gohan was smarter than that, instead of submitting and saying yes or starting a fight, the boy simply stared at his 'ruler' defiantly while smirking.

Seeing that he would have no more fun here, the king told the construction worker to get back to his job and blasted off, leaving the three teens to look on as more of the forest was destroyed.

Several hours later, Gohan was sitting on a rooftop of a building near some newly built train tracks going through some homework when he felt a familiar ki come near and a shadow come over him.

"Hey dad, what's up?" The studious Saiyan asked without looking up.

"Gohan. We need to talk." Goku replied in a serious tone.

"About what dad?" The boy asked again, still not looking up from his books.

"Well, about Sekkai." Gohan finally looked up, "There's a reason me and your mother don't want you to spend so much time with her…" The head male of the Son house sighed, "I know this won't be easy to say cause you like her so much, but she's endangering everyone."

""What?" Asked the second youngest Son, very confused.

"It's to do with your training." Again, Gohan could feel his anger growing, "Because of her, less and less time is being spent on it. I know how you feel about her, but as far as we know, you, right now anyway, are the strongest person in the universe. That gives you certain responsibilities. If we were attacked, you might not be able to protect her because you didn't train enough. So Gohan, do you understand?"

Saying that was awkward for Goku would be a very large understatement, but he believed it needed to be said.

"I understand dad."Those words surprised Goku, and he looked down to see his son with no hint of anger or joking, so he felt glad that the talk was over and then left Gohan to his studies.

If Goku had paid closer attention he might have seen that the pencil which was in his son's had been snapped in two and his aura radiated pure rage.

It was late at night, and the king was training hard, waiting for a certain someone to show up. He assumed his waiting had paid off when the door opened, a door which would only open when someone with a certain power level or above was there, and none would dare trespass, plus he had already had a match with Kakarot, so he was fairly certain about who it was.

"So, boy." Vegeta smirked as he kept his back to the door, "I see my little show at the forest finally had an effect on you. Well, prepare yourself!"

The king spun around and was suddenly shocked in awe as he sensed the mindboggling power this being held, "Who… who the hell are you?"

The gigantic figure smirked as he loomed to Vegeta who remained in shock, "Me? Well, you can call me The Legendary Super Saiyan."

A/N: This chapter was hard. Especially the part between Goku and Gohan, it almost hurt. But what's done is done and I hope you guys stay with me.
