I don't own DragonBall Z or any of its characters.

This is a Goten POV story, if you don't like, don't read. This is set in future trunks time.

PSH

(This is not Goten's pov yet as Goten has not been created yet, so bear woth it)

Trunks had left for the second time to that other timeline to help Goku before Cell struck and destroyed the whole city. They had to prevent it.

Although Trunks had always had her faith, Bulma was still worried about the current problem at hand: the androids. They still terrorized the people in what used to be an industrial city buzzing with life. Skyscrapers and homes had been destroyed and people were forced to take shelter underground, living in fear. Bulma couldn't take it anymore. Something had to be done.

Over the years, Bulma had taken the DNA of Goku and fused it with an egg cell from ChiChi to create a new saiyan similar to Gohan, she had also taken a sample of his dna too, so this new hybrid would be the best. She had convinced ChiChi to allow it, it was the only way in case of the failiure of Trunks.

She had grown the embryo to a full baby and since ChiChi had raised it. The baby turned out to be a beautiful boy, who looked a lot like his father. She had kept it a secret, so that one day she would let Gohan train him, so it would be as powerful, maybe even more so. But later Gohan was killed by the androids when Goten was only seven. ChiChi took it to herself to raise the baby.

A few years before when the boy was still a baby she had been wandering what to call the baby.

"Should I call you Goku Jr, you look so much like your father, you little baby," ChiChi cooed the baby. The little boy squirmed and giggled, grabbing ChiChi's finger with his chubby hands.

"No that bring too much pain," ChiChi said tearing up. She sighed wishing her husband was here. He had named Gohan. "No, I know what to call you, you little rascal," she said tickling the baby.

"Goten is your name," the baby stopped squirming and looked at his mother."Don't like it huh? Well that's too bad, every boy in this family must have a 'Go' in their name".

Seventeen years later

Woop woop, today is my eighteenth birthday and I'm finally going to go out. My mom had been training me all this years and she had thought me a lot, I even became a super saiyan. Bulma says I should be able to go super saiyan two easy or I should be able to beat Trunks.

My mom was getting old, so was Bulma and Trunks was getting a few grey hairs too. Trunks had thought me his moves, how to control my saiyan powers and over the years, I over passed him. When we sparred and I beat him, he looked up at me and he had a proud look in his eyes.

Bulma had taught me all about science and I was nearly as smart as her like she been to her father, well that's what she told me.

Mom brought the cake down and Trunks and Bulma brought the party hats as they started singing the birthday song to me. Mom put the cake at the table and I blew out the candle and cut the cake. Mom, as usual, had made a giant cake and I was wondering if I could eat it all.

"Oh my little boy is a man," Mom said as she gave me a big hug. I blushed a bit, I mean I'm eighteen for pete's sake.

"Mom," I grumbled. Everyone laughed at this and gave me hugs, they congragulated me and gave me presents. I got a sword from Trunks (so cool), a special capsule from Bulma, who said I shouldn't open unless I have to. I looked at mom and she looked back and held a box to me. I took the box and opened it. Inside was an orange gi, with a blue sweat shirt and blue boots.

I looked at mom and saw she was crying. Oh man."Goten this was your father's favourite outfit when he used to save the world" my mom said between sniffing. I looked down at the box for a moment and then back at my mom. I dropped the box and ran to hug her.

"Thank you mom, this is the best gift ever," I said to her. She looked a bit shocked and then she hugged me back.

"Oh Goten, your the best ever," she replied."Your father and brother will be proud,".

"You bet they will Goten, because I'm proud of you," Trunks said giving me a thumbs up.

"Yup, me too kiddo," Bulma said joining in the hug.

I grabbed my presents and ran upstairs. I put on my dad's outfit and looked in the mirror. A face looked back at me. The face looked like me but it wasn't. The face smiled and did a thumbs up. I blinked and looked at the mirror but it was only me staring back this time.

I stumbled back on my butt and blinked. What the heck! I was probably hullucinating but if I thinking straight could that have been...my dad? Everyone did say I looked like dad.

I stood up and stopped thinking of it. I put my sword on my back like Trunks did and I walked downstairs to my family.

"Oh Goten you look-," my mom started.

"Just like Goku," Trunks and Bulma finished. They said it in a hushed tone like I was something like a superhero. Heck, I am a half alien.

We had cake and I told mom I was going out to the city. Since I'm an adult, I can do whatever I wanted, so mom didn't try and stop me.

I dropped my sword and I changed out to my usual casual outfit. Then I flew off to the city.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxX

I decided to detour of and go to the mountains, I just wanted to check something out.

I dropped on a cliff and looked at a desolate looking place. Perfect. I stepped out and got into a stance. I put the bottom of my hands together and drew back. Doing that I also drew energy and a blue glow was creeping onto my palms. The glow solidified and became a ball of energy. Then the ball expanded so it was as big as my head. I then released the energy at a single mountain and it exploded before the blast even hit.

After the smoke cleared, I looked at the mountain...or what it used to be.

"Woah, I think I just created a new canyon, better not tell mom," I said as he flew to the city.

I dropped down onto a place in New West City. It was by the cafe and I eyed it a bit feeling slightly hungry even though mom had made a massive cake. I ignored the cafe and walked around looking at everything in the shops wandering what I can buy or where I could get a job.

I was walking past the tv shops when a news bulletin came in.

"This just in, a demon-like thing has struck again. The demon as you know has being striking homes, towns and small villages for 3 weeks now and no one seems to be able to track it, let alone stop it." the news reporter said. Demon, what?"The demon has now decided to attack near our city in around the 400 district. A crew of elite police and firemen has arrived at the scene and found some houses destroyed completely" I looked at the houses they showed and my mouth dropped. I quickly took off. My mom, Trunks, Bulma could be...no, I had to save them. With that I rushed off to find my family. I failed to hear the other part of the people being possibly dead.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxX

My mind screamed at me and my heart was in my mouth as I flew topspeed towards my home. The ground below me was destroyed as I went over it but I was to distraught to notice. I willed my self to go faster and I began to feel my hair moving upwards and my power increasing. But like the ground I didn't notice till afterwards.

As I kept moving, I saw other house on the ground that had been destroyed and bodies lay on the floor, dead. I felt my anger grow and grow. These people had been friends of ours and didn't deserve this. For once in my life I felt the urge to destroy something but I didn't like the feeling so I tried to think of something else. I started thinking maybe my family weren't dead but they were just injured, surely Trunks could have beaten that monster.

I quickly came to my house and landed a couple feet away. There were police and an ambulance there and I ran quickly to them, "What happened here,".

"I'm afraid you have to stand back son, serious business here," A policeman said to me, holding me back.

I pushed the man away but not with all my strength as I was still a super saiyan and I ran towards the wreckage. My mother and Bulma lay on the floor, dead. I kneeled down at my mother and stared in her eyes. They looked back at me lifeless and frozen in what looked like terror and judging by the bruises on mom's body, she must have put up a fight. I started crying and I bowed my head into her stomach. When I had I finshed, I looked up and closed my mothers eyes. I did the same for Bulma too.

The police and ambulance had backed away and giving me some space but now that I had finished, they attempted to pick up the bodies but I stopped them, telling them I would bury them myself. They looked at me and nodded and the policeman from earlier walked towards me and put a hand on my shoulder."I'm sorry kid," I didn't even look at the guy. I didn't even need his compassion. I sent an electeric spark to my shoulder and the guy took his hand of me and rubbed it."What the heck!". I walked away from the man and turned to face a policewoman.

"Excuse me ma'am" I said. She turned and looked at me,"have you seen another body, a man with purple hair and a jacket?".

"Yes, the ambulance are putting him inside the viechle, he might be still alive," she replied. My eyes widened and I turned back to normal. The woman stood aback,"what the hell happened to your hair?!". I didn't even reply as I rushed off to the nearest medic truck.

Inside one I found Trunks. He looked beat up and blood poured from his nose mouth and sides. But yet his right eye was open, the other was black and swollen.

"Trunks what happened?" I asked, amazed he was still alive but I couldn't believe anyone had beaten him up like. Trunks was the strongest, no one could beat him up like this."What happened to Bulma an...and my mother," I was beginning to crack up.

Trunks good eye looked around as if he didn't know where he was. He finally rested his gaze at me."Goten...," his voice sounded like sand paper, dry and beaten,"a...a demon..." He stopped and drew breath. I realized that Trunks was dying and if he didn't save his last breath he'd be a goner. He was all I had left.

"Trunks, save your breath, these guys will take care of you," I said as I put a finger on his lips, trying to silence him.

In fact it did the opposite as he swatted my hand and I could hear his heart rate increase."No Goten, listen," his voice had hardened and he sounded nearly the same,"A demon killed your mom and mine. He was sent by the king himself, Dabura,". Dabura, who's he?.

As if he could read my mind, Trunks quickly continued,"He sent one of his lackeys and it easily outpowered me. It said it was looking for you and you had to die," I didn't look that fazed but I was worried. I had never in my life hurt anyone or done anything wrong that would affect anyone. "I had gone out for a walk and whilst I was walking I felt your mom and my mom's ki with something else. The ki felt evil so I immeadiately flew to them. I found my mom dead on the floor and the demon holding your mom by the neck. I shouted to drop your mom and the thing looked at me, then it snapped your mom's neck and dropped her,".

I reeled back. What the heck, to my mom! That sick bastard! I felt my ki rise and fall, my hair was going blond and my eyes were probably going teal then black. Trunks, I guess saw my hair change and he grabbed my arm. "Calm it," Trunks said in his gruff voice. I forced my self to calm down and Trunks continued.

"I turned super and charged the demon. The demon didn't even move and as I attacked it full force, I pretty much thought it was dead," Trunks took a sharp breath. He was using his dying breaths on me. "I jumped back and looked up at the demon. A huge hole was were his chest used to be and I saw huge gallons of blood pouring from the hole. But yet it looked unfazed".

Trunks stopped yet again and took many breaths, trying to suck in as much air as possible,"it didn't die but the hole grew back to flesh and it then sealed back on. The demon then looked back at me and charged at me at a fast rate. I didn't have time to dodge so I put a guard across my body yet it wasn't good enough. The blow broke my arms and the force went staright to my stomach leaving me to cough blood. The blow took me to the ground, leaving me semi-concious, shocked. It walked towards me and continued to beat me up until I was an inch away from dead,".

Trunks took more breaths but they sounded painful. He put a hand on my arm, which I wondered how if his hands were broken. "Goten he..." Trunks coughed and blood came with it.

"Trunks shut up now, save your breath," I asked desperately. He looked at me and got an angry look on his face.

"No Goten listen to me," more blood came form his cough and I knew with all this blood loss, he wasn't going to survive."He's looking for you and...he's only the first". Trunks gripped me tightly and looked at me intensly with his good eye. I had begun tearing up and everything turned misty.

"Goten...kid...you mustn't lose hope," he coughed and drew in a gasp.

"Trunks if you die, I don't know what to do," I let the tears roll down my eyes.

"Goten you're stronger and better than me, my mom's taught you a lot and so has yours," he drew in one last breath."Don't let them be in vain...everything they taught you... because...you've made them and me proud... And also your father and Gohan...". With his last breath, my best friend died.

I had mourned and buried my family by what used to be our home. The ambulance had let me take Trunks when they saw he was dead but they had done some checks for the records and the detectives had inspected his body to see any links or patterns relating to the killer.

The police had found my birthday presents, somehow they hadn't been destroyed, and were about to keep as clues when I said they were mine and they gave it to me. I put on my dad's outfit on and the sword on my back. I went to a lake, where I was my face. I looked at my reflection. I noticed my eyes were slightly red but I still looked like my dad.

I grew angry at this. I couldn't be looking like dad and not been able to save my mom like he used to. I didn't want to disgrace my dad by been a cheap copy of him. I took out my sword and looked at my reflection in it. I turned the blade around and it had some words on it 'Tengoku no eiyuu' written in japanese symbols. This means heaven's hero, yeah some hero I was. I held the sword to my face and then I closed my eyes and chopped some hair of.

I opened my eyes and looked in the mirror. My hair was still a spiky mess but it was smaller and it curved off to the left. I should probably see a barber.

After throwing left over hair away, I sat down and thought about my situation. My family were dead leaving me by myself. A demon sent by Dabura killed them and Trunks and was supposedly after me too. Trunks would probably want me to avenge him and right now that was all that was in my head. I wanted to blast something but staying with Trunks had taught me to keep a cool head and staying with Bulma had taught me I needed a plan.

I needed somewhere to start. My first thought was that since Dabura is a demon king, he would most likely live in hell, but how do I get there was the question. I pondered deeply but nothing came to mind unless I track down the demon that killed Trunks and interrogate him. I didn't know where he was and anyways if he was after me I might as well let him come to me.

I flew back at the house and sat by the graves hoping I could get an inspiration from them. I noticed I hadn't carved their stones, so I pointed a finger and lasered their names and what they were to me onto it too. I came to Bulma's stone and began hers too.

"Bulma Briefs, best aunt and scientist," I said aloud. I stopped and looked at what I wrote. Of course, Bulma was a scientist! She had made the capsules! I pulled out the capsule she had given me from my pocket and clicked on it and threw it on the ground.

The loud bang came out and smoke filled the area. After the smoke cleared all I could see was a small box with an orange button on it. Curious, I pressed the button and the box came to life. A mini robot stood with arms and legs and a red eye.

"Hello Goten, I am Giru," The robot said in its metallic voice.

"Hey they Giru," I was a bit shocked but I still responded. So this was what Bulma gave me, a talking robot. I would have laughed if I wasn't so serious. "How do you know my name?".

"Bulma designed me to be your assitance, she also appointed me to tell you of her lab," the robot responded. The lab, Bulma said I should never go there but if this robot said Bulma gave it instructions to go then I guess I can go.

"Show me the lab Giru," I ordered.

"Right away sir," to my suprise the robot began to fly and flew a few metres behind the house. It then stopped at a field full of grass, nothing in sight. I looked around and I began to get angry again. If this was a joke this robot was going to hell.

"Giru, I said take me to the lab or I'll shut you down," I threatened. The robot didn't looked fazed. It walked a few yards right and knocked in the air.

"Its right here sir," Giru said looking back at me. I was about to say something before Giru cut me up."I believe the password is written on your blade".

Password. Blade. Of course, Bulma had basically let me go into the lab anytime at all. I looked at where Giru was standing and said the password."Tengoku no eiyuu". Immediately the lab became visible and two doors appeared. I pushed open the doors and a flight of stairs led down, nothing could be seen at the botton. Giru walked on ahead and I followed suit.
