(A/N: Hey people! I guess I decided to hit back at the fanfiction writing with some more DBZ and time travel! But here we have the great Trunks and Goten! This idea has been in my head for a while as a 'what if' and I'm giving it a spin. Any ideas or thoughts are more than welcome as a review or a message, just tell me!

I obviously don't own anything related to Dragon Ball, so enjoy the first chap!)

"Trunks are you sure this is safe?" Goten questioned in a whisper as he hovered towards the closet with Trunks leading the way. He was trying his best to be very cautious to not make any sounds with his feet.

The lavender haired boy nodded, keeping his eye on the key prize that was in that very closet. "Of course this is, Goten; we haven't got scolded in the last 30 seconds. That means she isn't here right now."

He knew very well of his mother's routine when she was working in the laboratory. Bulma would first arrive around 10:12 a.m. and leave approximately 12:30 p.m. to take a break during all weekdays. She would then return in the evening around 8-9 pm. She was much more active, especially during the weekends. Though sometimes when she's working on a really important project, her time's would be unpredictable like this week, luckily for these two she was off to some conference in the meantime.

"Well she's going to be really mad if she finds us in here. And your mom is almost as scary when she's angry as my mom."

Trunks smirked at Goten's obvious fear. "Then I guess we can call off the bet here and say my Dad was the best." Goten furrowed his eyebrows at him, clenching his fist. "Clearly my dad was the strongest, even when he was a baby! Gohan always told me how much strength he had before I met him. And you saw how powerful he was when Majin Buu was around!" He immediately covered his mouth realizing he was beginning to yell, his voice echoing off the grey walls.

Trunks rolled his eyes from hearing that same defense each time from Goten as they both landed on the ground by the time they arrived to the secret safe. "Whatever, what truly matters now is we're going unlock the truth ourselves."

The two opened the doors as they looked in the dark closet. Using the flashlight Trunks brought along with him, sure enough the small grey safe was there labeled with #C.C.-749. Goten observed the many numbers and other glowing buttons on the safe with amazement as Trunks began punching down on many of them. He then came to a stop as he looked puzzled, looking at the raven haired boy. "Hey Goten, what were the last 5 numbers I told you to remember?"

"Oh, that's easy! It was 48632 I think."

Trunks entered the digits Goten informed him of. After a second, a green light appeared along with the sound of a small ding. "Wow Goten, how do you memorize so many numbers that well?"

The other boy shrugged, laughing while scratching the back of his head "I don't know, I guess studying all the time at home does have its perks."

The two demi-Saiyans then placed their focus back on the safe. Trunks slowly opened the door as it made a sharp squeaking sound. And there it was. Trunks took out the watch. It was colored a dark navy blue with two small square buttons. There was one on the right side and the other on the left. The screen is the main feature was shaped as a circle, currently being off.

"Hey Trunks, how come we just didn't wish for the dragon balls to take us to our dads?" Goten asked, holding the device he had in his pockets. They already had the dragon radar on them; they could have gathered the mystical seven balls in no time.

"That would've been just too easy. Besides if we used the dragon balls then everyone would have known we were up to something! Plus how could we be able to get back right after? For all we know, someone could've already used them in that time. We'd be stuck there for about a year. That's why this time watch can just take us back in an instant! You can count me out of that."

"Yeah, good point. Who knows how much trouble we would get into for being missing in a whole year?" He shuddered at a number of questions he would've received by Chichi by the time they would've returned back to the present time, putting the radar back in his pocket.

Making sure they had the necessary capsules in the small container, Trunks then proceeded onto checking for the approximate date back in the past and the location for Earth, assuming both their parents would be there at that point.

Trunks looked over at Goten offering his free hand. "Are you ready?"

Goten smiled eagerly, grabbing his hand. "Yeah! This is going to be so exciting!"

With that confirmation, Trunks then clicked the right button. Any second now they would begin disappearing from this time period…But there was no sudden glow emerging in the room.

Clicking it a second time thinking that it must've not sensed the first attempt, the two waited a few more seconds for the watch to begin working. It failed again.

Trunks knew that his mother had abandoned the full completion of this invention, but since he did saw her recently tweaking it a bit, there had to be some way he could get it to function! He began banging on the watch, his patience dwindling. "Come on you stupid watch, just get us going already!"

Goten took the watch away from Trunks' grip observing the front and back of it. "Be careful Trunks, you could've smashed it into pieces! Is it broken or something?"

"Of course it's not! I know I saw my mom working on it with no problem about 3 days ago. There must be some malfunction going on. Just give it back to me; I know what I'm doing."

But when Trunks attempted to grab the watch out of the younger boy's hand, it wouldn't budge. "C'mon Goten, this isn't funny." He tugged on the other end with a bit more force.

"Why won't you let me help you out? Maybe I can do something, just give me a second, please Trunks?"

"No, you'll just end up making it explode somehow!"

With the two stubborn demi-Saiyans arguing, they began pulling harder on the opposite bands of the watch with increasing strength. As they continued on bickering, they both accidentally dropped it on the floor.

Looking at each other for a split second, they both charged and fell to the floor, and caught the opposite ends of the watch again. "Just let go Trunks, you're gonna mess it up!"

"Maybe if you let go, nothing bad won't happen. Besides, this is my mom's invention. I know what I'm doing thank you very much."

As the two continued on with their bickering and tugging, a bright blue light suddenly began to shine. Just after a few seconds, their arguing came to a halt as they were trying to figure out what was going on. The floor began to rumble as the light grew brighter, making it difficult to see what was happening.

One by one they then felt their bodies starting to elevate off the floor. They both began to panic, trying to adjust their bodies back on the floor by shaking their arms and legs. But it was no use. It felt like there was some invisible resistance that was keeping the two boys from actually moving up or down. This was definitely a normal reaction that any time watch would cause- Right?

But before either Trunks and Goten could answer that question, everything in the room began spinning to an image of nothing.

Trunks slowly opened his eyes, trying to readjust what was before him.

For starters, it was pretty damn hot.

As he stood up, dusting off his dark turquoise gi, he noticed that for sure that Goten and himself were on a different planet. The air was rather thin and humid, making it difficult to breathe normally, but still bearable. The ground appeared very sandy with a hue of cafe brown. The skies were a mix of a ruby red and orange. There was no sight or even a small buzz of any animal or insect from where he was. There wasn't even a slight breeze.

Everything here just seemed so... dead.

Trunks began to focus again when he noticed Goten not too far away. He was still laying down still on the sand. He approached him, shaking his body with some force. When that wasn't working, Trunks as well started slapping the boy's cheeks repeatedly. "Come on Goten, we don't have all day to be staying wherever this dump is."

Eventually Goten immediately eyes popped open from the last slap as he grabbed Trunks' hand to stop. He rubbed his face carefully, eyes a bit watery from just waking up out of nowhere. "Agh, that really stung Trunks! Why'd you have to..." But before he could continue on, Goten began to cough. "Gee, what's up with the air? I can barely yell at you!"

Trunks chuckled at that, helping Goten stand up. He wiped his forehead shrugging. "Beats me. Guess wherever the time watch took us, this is definitely not earth." The time watch.

"Oh crap, where did the time watch go?!" It was in neither in his or Goten's hands. The two momentarily decided to split up to look all around until Goten called out Trunks. "Hey, Trunks, I found it! This thing still looks like it's still on too."

"What is saying?" The lavender haired boy immediately flew over to Goten. The raven haired boy shrugged looking at the reading. "Well, the year is still the same. But it looks like it took us some different planet, it's not reading out well." Trunks took the watch out of Goten's hand to look at. "It's probably from all that sand, here let me see."

But what Goten was saying was indeed correct. No matter how many times Trunks attempted to, the clear location these two were stuck in wouldn't appear on the digital screen. Perhaps it probably hit the ground too hard by the time they arrived.

"Great, what are we going to do now?" Goten began to pout, clearly unamused with how things turned up. They should've been on earth searching for their fathers by now, why of all times did they have to catch this bad luck.

Before Trunks could answer, he suddenly tensed up to a fighting position, clutching his fists. He began looking up at the sky, eyebrows furrowing. "You sense that, Goten?"

Goten nodded firmly, mirroring the same position as Trunks. There was something heading towards their direction, and judging by the various kis, there were quite a lot of them, and they weren't so friendly either.

Soon enough their suspicions were confirmed. Around 20 or so figures appeared in the sky in the shape of some large aliens. One by one they landed on the ground. They varied in colors of red, yellow and orange, mimicking the landscape. They looked a lot like some reptile species judging from their scaly spotted skin and piercing eyes, almost like a Gecko to be exact.

One of the gigantic Gecko aliens took a step forward, making it far more noticeable that he was the only one of the group to be blue. He eyed the two demi-Saiyans before him, grinning with this venomous like smirk. "Why would you look at that. Sorry kids, but this planet isn't no playground for you two to be at."

"Then what planet is this?" Goten asked, looking around still puzzled.

"Planet Sabaku of course. One of the strongest and prideful planets in this galaxy."

Trunks eyed the blue alien with a cold stare with his arms crossed but then smirking himself. "Geez sorry, pal. We weren't too sure exactly where we were. But now that we know, judging from you and your buddies here, guess we really are at the right place for a bunch of annoying grown babies."

The blue alien growled at Trunks' cockiness. "Smart mouthed are we, huh? Now don't go acting all tough kid. We all can have both you and your little friend there torn into little pieces any second now." The rest of the aliens grew closer, surrounding Goten and Trunks in a smaller circle.

But that intimidated neither of the boys one tiny bit. Trunks rolled his eyes at their fit, as raised his arms across his head clearly unamused. "Alright, we get it. You're tough and strong because you have big muscles, awesome! Happy now?Look, we wish we had the time to ramble on but save it for another day." Why does it always have to be the bulky guys who acted the most idiotic? "Let's ditch these dorks, Goten."

Goten nodded. "At least we know where we are. Now if we could a rocket ship or something to find our way out of this planet.

The two elevated off the ground, heading for the sky. However just as they were about to fly off full speed, that same blue gecko alien flew up right behind Trunks. "Now where do you children think you're headin' off to?" He swung a fist, aiming towards the boy's back, just to knock him down. But he then realized his fist hit merely just the thin air as both of them vanished.

Trunks eyed the blue alien with more annoyance now. Was it that difficult for the species to understand? "Didn't you hear me the first time? We don't have to time to play with you idiots." The blue alien man along with the rest of his men noticed the two somehow were able to teleport right behind his back. He turned around, gritting his teeth.

"Guess you brats got a few tricks behind you sleeves. But don't expect that'll save your asses now." He smirked as he pointed at the demi-Saiyans. "Alright boys, let's give these pests the best and last play time of their lives."

With that order, the other aliens raced to sky directly at Trunks and Goten at several angles, eager to wipe them out in an instant.

Goten and Trunks immediately raised their ki, getting back to their fighting position waiting for the impact of the aliens. Trunks smirked over at Goten. "Guess we're finally having the chance for new opponents after so long," Goten smirked right back Trunks. "Yeah! Let's just hope we aren't too rusty."

And just like that, the two disappeared taking on half of the brightly colored alien men.

Goten was trying his best not to hurt them too hard as he easily blocked their incoming punches and kicks. Gee, they really aren't that fast. One by one he was able to knock them out to the ground by punching their arms and foreheads, even letting some of the men collide to their own men, knocking them out.

Trunks, on the other hand, was having no problem letting them intake the pain they were so hungry for. He as well moved at a much faster pace, attacking the men in the gut and kicking their backs. "Hey Goten, these guys really aren't so fun."

Goten nodded as well, avoiding another punch and knocking the alien down to the ground. "Yeah their technique isn't half bad, but they're pretty slow overall."

They expected this fight to be over within just a few seconds. Soon enough the truth in that statement started to dwindle. Though the majority of the aliens were knocked out, there was a good handful of them, about 5 who still shot right back up, increasing in speed. It became serious enough to the point where both the boys were receiving some bruises on their bodies.

One of the red colored gecko alien men then was able to send Goten flying straight down to the ground just when he lost his guard for a second. He smirked with confidence. "Hey, I got one of those runts down!" He flew back down to find Goten lying down, rubbing his head. Trunks looked down for a slight second to check on Goten but he was too busy keeping up with his own fight.

He clutched his fist together and went to kick Goten flying away. "Did you really think it'd be that easy to defeat us." He questioned while chuckling darkly. But just as his foot was about to make contact with the young boy's body, a hand got a grasp of it. The red alien immediately tensed up when he saw the sight in front of him.

"Actually to be honest, yeah. But I have to hand it to you guys, you're not so bad."

What was once a dark jet black color was now a rich light yellow of blonde that as well was spiking up. Goten's eyes as well turned from black to a mix of green and blue. He then clutched tighter to the alien's foot, then releasing him by tossing him a great distance away.

All the aliens began to stare at Goten in amazement and confusion. The orange alien who was fighting Trunks in midair looked at him skeptically, backing away slowly. "W-What the hell are you two?"

Trunks smirked easily sensing he was putting his guard down. Without even blinking, his hair as well turned blonde with the same green eyes, his aura shining in all the alien's eyes. "It's what we call a 'Super Saiyan'. Don't forget it."

Before the alien could even comprehend what the boy meant by that, Trunks vanished right behind his back, hitting him with both fists like a bat, sending the orange gecko deep into the sand. Trunks smirked seeing the other aliens clearly shaking seeing one of their men down on the ground. "Don't worry, Goten and I both have enough energy to share with you guys."

Just like that, the two young Super Saiyans began to take out the rest of the geckos with ease, with both sides knowing they didn't have a chance against such strong ki. In about 2 minutes, Goten and Trunks seemed to have defeated them all, observing all the passed out bodies lying in the sand.

Trunks lowered himself on the ground, getting out of super saiyan form, Goten following right after but staying up in the air.

"Did you really have to turn Super, Goten? I was hoping I was going to be the first one to show it off at the last minute."

"I couldn't help it! If I didn't, that guy would've had me flying for sure Trunks. Besides you already made yourself look and sound all macho when you told that orange guy what a 'Super Saiyan' was. You're so much like your dad sometimes.

Trunks shrugged. "Can ya blame me? It'd be totally boring to just knock them out the first second. We had to toy with them just a little bit." Trunks took out the watch he placed in his pocket, tightening it now on his wrist. "Anyway, we should get going."

As he continued on with trying to find earth on the time watch, he suddenly sensed something crawling up behind him. His suspicions were confirmed when he heard Goten beginning to yell.

"Trunks, look out!"

It was too late, however. In almost a split second, Trunks found his arms stuck, being tied down by that same blue alien. "You're not going anywhere this time you runt."

Trunks felt his sweat cold for a moment. It shouldn't have been this difficult to get out of this lock, but the more Trunks squirmed and struggled, the tighter his hands felt. He gritted his teeth. "What the heck are you doing to me?"

The blue gecko laughed at the lavender-haired child. "Silly boy, how dare you try and underestimate us, especially me. Only a select few of us can use our hands to tighten our grip to our enemies with this special kind of grip. Keep on fidgeting like that, and you'll have to say goodbye to those hands of yours. And don't let your little friend there involved or he'll be my next victim after you're annihilated ." Trunks saw Goten who was already on the ground hesitant to intervene or do nothing.

The alien kept a tighter grip on Trunks hands as the young began to grunt in pain. The air without a doubt was getting thinner, as he coughed more frequently. "To be honest, I haven't had to use this technique in years. You should be honored, mighty Super Saiyan."

Trunks shut his eyes tightly trying to ignore the pain soaring throughout his body that felt like it was draining his power. There's no way this creep could just take him out like that!

What felt like an eternity on Trunks' wrist soon became liberated out of nowhere as he sensed a ki blast right where that alien was.

Trunks pulled his hands away, preparing to swing right at that ugly blue gecko right in the middle of his face. But he was no longer there. He looked over at Goten confused. His ki could no longer be sensed anywhere.

"How did that alien guy just disappear out of nowhere?"

Goten pointed up at the sky not even glancing at Trunks. "You should ask that kid over there."

Trunks looked up the direction where Goten was pointing. He was still puzzled, wondering why Goten appeared so shocked. But by the time he made out the small figure, his heart sank, eyes wide open in shock. The pain in his wrist for the moment was nonexistent.

It's Dad.

Yep, I ended it right there! But don't kill me! Sorry if this chapter went by a little slow for some of you expecting to see young Vegeta, but we always have to build things up for the true prize we want!

EDIT: Don't be all tripped up in that young Vegeta wiping out that guy. That is supposed to confuse you will be later explained

Please forgive me on slow updates, do understand I have other responsibilities, but I will do the best I can!

Thanks for reading and review your thoughts on this or any suggestions are welcome :)))))))
