Son Haru got up the fine Monday morning. It had been seven years since the Cell Games and he was on his way to school.
Purchasing his own place in Hercule City was the best move he ever made.
Because Haru stayed in shape and wanted to stay at the top of his game, he naturally clashed with his mother who wanted him to study.
Her expectations were unreasonable. Haru was already an honor student, but he couldn't balance his training with studying overtime.
Haru lamented the fight he had with his mother before he ran away from home.
"Mom, I'm sorry… I just can't—"
"CAN'T WHAT!? LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER!? HOW CAN YOU BE SO UNGRATEFUL!" Chichi cut him off before he could fully speak.
"But mom, if dad's gone, then I'm the sole protector of the Earth! If I don't stay at my best, who knows what threats could come next!?" Haru pleaded, but to no avail.
"TALKING BACK!?" Chichi exclaimed as she slapped Haru full force.
Because he let his power down, he felt the full force of his mother's hand.
The commotion caused baby Naru to start crying in the other room.
Haru slowly and silently looked up into Chichi's eyes. Then without a word, walked out the door. Leaving everything behind.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING!? YOU COME RIGHT BACK HERE MISTER!" Chichi yelled as she ran outside.
Haru simply flew away. An act that would resonate amongst their family for the rest of the seven year skip.
Goku had witnessed the argument from other world. But because King Kai was too busy with something else, he didn't get to speak to Haru about it right away. Maybe if he did, Haru would have turned back.
Goku understood why his son wanted to stay at his best, but he was also disappointed that it cost him his relationship with Chichi.
He knew his father and sister would be disappointed in him for that, but at the same time, he could no longer handle Chichi's nagging. He felt bad for his mother because he knew she was already hurt by the death of his father, but Haru thought the right thing to do if he couldn't get along with her was to disappear, and so he did.
The prize money Haru acquired from the World Martial Arts Tournament six years ago got him enough to buy his own place, and have some saved up. It was a big prize that year.
But money couldn't buy a good relationship with his sister and mother. Naru had been a baby through most of it, so she didn't know Haru well, only the biased stories Chichi told her. With that, she didn't understand why her brother could be so selfish in times of peace. As did Chichi.
After Haru easily won the tournament years ago, he stopped competing, mostly because he had won such a large prize. Because so many years had passed, and Haru kept a low profile, he was able to stay well known but not famous.
Hercule was defeated by Haru, tossing him out of the ring. A scene that was very comical. But because Haru stopped competing, having won the multimillion zeni prize that year, Hercule was able to reclaim his title the year after and onwards, so people slowly began loving him again. Die hard fans wrote Haru's prior victory off as a fluke.
Even so, Hercule's daughter, Videl, wanted revenge.
The world still thought Hercule defeated Cell, but Haru didn't care.
Haru spent the last six years self-homeschooling and training every chance he got. He was able to convince Bulma to give him his own training facility in his luxury house (it's effects similar to Vegeta's gravity chamber and the Lookout's Hyperbolic Time Chamber, in terms of intensity.) He also didn't feel lonely because he had some company.
During Bojack's invasion, because Haru had been training after the Cell games, he was able to call on the power of his SSJ2 form at will, and was able to slaughter his men very easily, save for Zangya.
He felt remorse because she looked so defenseless. The following year was a struggle for her because she didn't really fit in, and this was around the time Haru had run away from home. The reason Haru didn't kill Zangya at the time was because he had trained to control the SSJ2 form a little more, and after Bojack was dead, she really was no longer a threat.
Because she turned out to not be so bad, Haru took her in after he won the world tournament and got a house. She had been living as a cashier and struggling the year after Bojack and his men were defeated.
Despite Haru's charity, the others thought his relationship with Zangya was sexual; the first few years it wasn't, but secretly, the following years, the two were indeed having sex on occasion. The power went to Haru's head somewhat, and he figured he could do whatever he wanted.
Family and friend gatherings became awkward after Haru severed his ties with his family. Piccolo and Vegeta understood the most. Boy wanted to train. Bulma knew that Chichi can be ridiculous sometimes, as did Tien and Yamcha. Krillin hung out with Haru on occasion so his relationship with the Z-fighters stayed for the most part, the same.
When he brought Zangya to the gatherings, at first everyone was on guard, but they slowly got use to her presence, as they did with Android 18. Chichi hated her with a passion. She thought that she was the one manipulating Haru to turn his back on his family.
Because of his continuous training, Haru not only had full control over his SSJ2 form, but he also reached and mastered SSJ3 over the seven year skip, much to Vegeta's dismay.
"Time for school." Haru said out loud, as he gathered his things and finally decided to try fitting in with other people his age.
His house was very nice and comfortable, complete with a large bathroom and training facility. Haru wore his Orange Star high school uniform and kissed Zangya before walking out the door.
"Have a great day, darling!" she called out as he left.
Zangya would spend the day cleaning the house and then leaving for work as a model.
"Uh oh, I'm gonna be late." said Haru, so he decided to speed down the sidewalk.
Haru ran into burglars robbing a bank. Again he dispatched them easily as a super saiyan, then seemed to teleport away and so, the legend of the golden fighter returned, but this Haru was much more serious as he made his way to class.
"Class I'd like to introduce our new student." spoke the class Professor. "That's your cue my boy."
After he said this, Haru walked in. "Hi, I'm Haru, nice to meet you all." he said politely.
"You can sit over here, new boy!" called Erasa from the top of the class desks. She was attracted to him already.
