Fallen Angel

Chapter 1

I don't own DBZ. This chapter is set a couple of weeks after Buu was defeated.

Trunks and Goten were flying away from Capsule Corp. They had just sneaked away from Bulma, while she had been engrossed with her latest project.

"Hey, Trunks!" Goten called out as they weaved between the trees. "What are we gonna do?" Trunks looked over at his friend, and shrugged.

"Dunno." He said. "Spar, maybe." Goten's face split into a wide grin.

"Cool!" He said, with enthusiasm.

Trunks rolled his eyes at his friend, and headed up into the clear sky. Goten followed him. As soon as they were clear of the treetops, they faced each other. Then got into fighting stance, opposite each other. Trunks smiled and went super saiyan, Goten looked surprised for a moment then grinned and joined his friend. They attacked each other. Neither of the little demi-saiyans knew that they were being watched.

"Sir!" A raised voice interrupted Gradus's doze. He growled, this had better be worth it, or some ones going to die, he thought.

"What is it!" He snapped, stood and walked towards the source of the voice. It belonged to a technician, who was working at the scanning desk. Hmm, Gradus thought, maybe this will be worth waking up for.

"W...we've found two that f...fit the criteria, sir." Gradus raised an eyebrow.

"Two?"

"Y..yes sir. O..on the same planet."

"Tell me, why were they not found before now?" Gradus asked flatly. "And if you stutter once more, I shall hand you your voice box." The technician swallowed hard, his eyes shone with fear.

"We have only just started to scan that area of the galaxy, sir." The technician looked relieved that he'd managed to say it without stuttering.

"I see, now show me these two fighters." He said. The technician turned and pressed a few buttons, and Trunks and Goten appeared on the screen. They were still locked in their spar. Gradus's eyes widened in shock. These two match the criteria? But they were children! The power level of the criteria alone would disallow any child, unless...

"Tell what race are they?" He demanded of the technician, who pressed a few more buttons.

"Half the native race of that planet and half saiyan." Now Gradus couldn't contain his shock.

"Saiyan!" But they have blond hair! Saiyans have black hair. On the screen, Trunks and Goten finished up their spar, and powered down. Gradus stared as Gotens hair returned to black and Trunks's to mauve.

"Super saiyans." Gradus muttered and smiled, this is his lucky day. He'd been waiting so long for this. "Which is the strongest?"

"The purple haired one, sir."

"Good, transport him right away."

"Yes sir."

Goten and Trunks were lying in the middle of a clearing, they were both breathing hard from their spar, it had been full on. Goten turned to his friend.

"Do you think we should be getting back." He said.

"Why?" Trunks asked.

"It's getting dark." Goten said, Trunks looked over at him and smirked.

"Goten's afraid of the dark!!" He teased. Goten frowned.

"Am not!!"

"Are to!!"

"Not!"

"Are!"

"Not!

"Are!" Goten threw him self at Trunks and they wrestled, rolling on the ground. When Goten was being pined by Trunks he noticed something in the sky, a bright light was heading right for them.

"Trunks!" He said.

"Huh?" Trunks said, and paused at the tone of his friends voice.

"What's that?" Goten said, pointing at the sky. Trunks turned at looked at the light. It was getting very close to them, but what ever it was there was no ki attached to it. They stared at it for a awhile then realised that it was going to hit where they were lying. Just before it struck they leapt into the air.

"That was close!" Trunks said.

"Yeah."

Suddenly the light rose from the crater that it's impact had caused, hovered for a moment then head straight for Trunks.

"Ahhh!!" Trunks yelped and flew as fast as he could away from the light, which still had no ki. He weaved, dodged and tried everything that he could think of to shake it off his tail. But nothing worked and it was gaining on him. He could feel it almost touching his feet.

"Trunks!" Goten yelled and knocked Trunks out of the way of the light, which hit him instead. Thunks watched in horror as his friend disappeared.
