This story is strictly non-canon with the actual series obviously, but I thought up the idea of what it would have been like if 18 and Krillin had been left a Saiyan child not long after they married. Not unlike the small child Grandpa Gohan had found. This story will span until the end of GT, and starts pre-Majin Buu.

The child's hair was unkempt, short and messy, it always was. He was tall for his age and had a black furred tail to match his black hair. And as always he was hanging upside down by his tail from the light attached to the ceiling, and how he gets there every time when he can't even fly yet is beyond both his adoptive parents.

He was found in a space pod by Gohan only a few weeks after Krillin and 18 were married and the newly weds had decided to raise the child as their own, by now however the boy had a little sister to play with, Marron. Now 5 years old, the child named Burges was not as smart as his sister, but his strength more than made up for it.

"Krillin!" yelled 18 "can you take Burges outside and train him like you promised me you would".

"Yes 18, come on Burges, we'll go outside and I'll show you something" said Krillin unenthusiastically.

Unknown to the young Saiyan it was decided by 18 the night before that he would be trained by them so he could look out for his sister when she reached school like he was about to.

It was a beautiful day outside as it always seems to be at Kame house and Burges rushed towards the palm tree on the island and began to climb.

"Burges, get down here, I want to show you how to fight" yelled Krillin at his disobedient child. Burges replies by poking his tongue out at him,

"No way, I want Mommy to teach me" says Burges continuing to climb the tree as Krillin goes inside to get 18.

"Burges get out of that tree now" said his mother angrily, "Now listen to me, if you won't do what you're father wants, then I'll have to train you"

"OK mommy" replied the child happily.

As is the norm for full blooded saiyans, Burges seemed to be focused by fighting; the whole time he and 18 trained he didn't try to climb anything and had even learned from his mother to treat his father with respect. Over the next few months Burges continued to train with both of his parents, the more he learned the better he behaved and became more focused.

A whole year had passed when Gohan turned up on the island to tell Krillin about Goku's return from otherworld and his entrance into the Word Tournament.

"You'll fight too won't you Krillin?" asked Gohan

"I don't know what my wife would say about that?" said Krillin

"She'd ask if there's any prize money. I'm going to enter Krillin, why wont you?"

"I suppose fighting in another world tournament with Goku will be fun, sure count us in, Gohan" said Krillin with a degree of enthusiasm. "I suppose Burges will fight as well, He'll enjoy it?"

As the week before the tournament passed Krillin and 18 stepped up their training while Burges preferred to spend time with his sister, showing her how he can fly now. Burges at this time did not know that 18 and Krillin weren't his real parents, and they never told him that he was a Saiyan, although Vegeta kept an eye on the child for any clue as to who his real parents were, for he was more powerful than his own son who was a full 2 years older than him.

Finally the day of the World Tournament arrived and Burges was so excited he climbed the walls of Bulma's plane, much to the annoyance of Bulma.

"You know Krillin, your children are so very different, Marron such a sweet girl, and Burges is such a disobedient prick that he makes even Vegeta look like an angel. It's like Marron takes almost completely after you and Burges is mostly like 18"

commented Bulma

"Hey, what do you mean by that, my son does exactly what I say" exclaimed 18. "Come here Burges" Burges came running to his mothers side with an innocent look on his face.

Upon arrival at the World Tournament Krillin told Burges to go play with Trunks and Goten. Burges walked behind the pair in silence for a few minutes before becoming bored and playing with his tail, this was the first time he'd ever met any of these people, they all looked so strange, one even had green skin, and the one with the tall spiky hair kept looking at him, he didn't like it, the only Z-Fighters he actually knew were Gohan, his parents and Master Roshi. The group stopped in the middle of a courtyard when a tall man with spiky hair and a halo hovering over his head appeared out of nowhere, Goten and Burges had the same reaction, hide behind their mothers' legs.

"Hi everyone" said the tall man, "well, are you going to say something or just stare at me all day" he continued.

"GOKU!" yelled Krillin, Gohan and most of the others as they ran toward the man named Goku , for the first time in his short life Burges saw his father cry, this must be the man he had heard everyone talk so much about.

After signing up for the Tournament Burges walked beside his mother and sister watching his father and Goku speak when suddenly they stopped.

"AHHHH! It's Android 18, watch out everyone!" yelled Goku noticing 18 for the first time. Burges jumped in between his mother and Goku as if to protect her.

"It's alright Goku, she's not bad anymore, she and I are married and have kids now" quicklyly replied Krillin.

"Oh…….congratulations, but who's this kid with the tail, did Vegeta and Bulma have another son"

"No, this is mine and Krillin's son Burges" replied 18

"I'll explain later" said Krillin quietly.

The group then remained silent until reaching the registration desk where they separated into two groups; Bulma, Chi Chi, Yamcha, Roshi, Marron and Ox-King went off to the spectators seating area while Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, 18, Piccolo, Krillin and Burges continued into the locker room to prepare for the Tournament.

Once in the locker room Krillin pulled Burges aside to speak with him in private.

"Burges, the other kids you'll be fighting against won't be as strong as you, unless you're fighting Goten or Trunks. So I want you to promise me that you won't hurt any of them, just knock them out of the ring, alright"

"OK daddy". Burges seemed to be struggling with something on the inside, something deeply confusing to him. "Daddy, how come that dead guy was surprised that I have a tail?"

"Because when Goku was a boy he had a tail, and Vegeta had a tail until a few years ago, so did Gohan as a boy". This didn't seem to ease his child's confusion, but he asked no more questions as a voice sounded over the arenas PA system.

"All Junior division competitors come to the waiting room please, the junior tournament is about to start". At that Goten and Trunks rushed off to join their fellow competitors while Burges hesitated, staring seriously at his parents he waited for them to say something, 18 just continued her stretching while Krillin looked proudly upon the child he had helped raise

"You'd better get going Kiddo"

Once Burges was out of earshot Krillin walked over to Goku and Gohan.

"Hey Krillin what's the deal with your son, how come he has a tail?" Goku asked in genuine curiosity

"He's not really our son" Krillin started as 18 walked over to join the conversation.

"Yeah I found him in a Saiyan space pod about a year after I defeated Cell. I sensed a powerful being and went to investigate, Krillin arrived at the crash site a couple of minutes after I did" Gohan continued. "I was going to take him home and mum and I would raise him with Goten".

"But I said that I'd take him instead, 18 and I had been married for a few weeks and I thought it would be a good idea-"

"But it wasn't" 18 cut Krillin off mid sentence. "As a baby he was quiet, but as he grew he became restless and disobedient, when Marron was born he became worse because we didn't give him as much attention".

"He didn't start talking until about 3 years old, which was after Marron, even when he could speak he was still quiet, which I take it is unusual, because Gohan used to cry all the time and you told me that you weren't very quiet either, for a Saiyan" Krillin finished. "He doesn't know about us not being his real parents, and he's pretty protective of 18 and Marron"

"So who do you think his real parents are?" asked Goku

"Before I let Krillin take him we took him to Bulma for some tests. It turns out he's a full blood Saiyan, which got Vegeta interested in him, but we have no idea who his parents are" Gohan said very matter of factly as he walked from the locker room.

Burges followed Goten and Trunks all the way to the waiting room, where upon entering he found himself feeling nervous, though he tried his best to be like his mother and not show it. Goten and Trunks walked over to the far wall of the room and leaned up against it, discussing what they would do with the prize money from winning the tournament.

"I'm going to buy toys" said Goten happily.

"You're such a toddler Goten" replied Trunks

"That's easy to say when you're the richest kid in the world, you've got all the toys you want" came the reply from a sodden faced Goten. "Hey, what will you buy if you win Burges?" he asked Burges suddenly cheerful.

"Umm, I don't know, I'd probably give it to my Mom" Burges replied carefully.

"HAHAHAHAHA, good one Burges, you're a funny guy, you know that" Trunks said as he burst out laughing.

In no time the first fights were finished and it was time for Burges to fight Trunks. Trunks walked into the stadium first, seemingly confident, while Burges walked in several steps behind looking like he was about to pass out. Goten passed them walking back in to the waiting room a triumphant look on his face.

"Ha, that was real easy, Good luck Trunks"

The fight started and it seemed all one sided for a while, Trunks was pounding Burges, His fists seemed to be blurs of flesh. The fight continued to be going all Trunks' way until he hit Burges in the face, angering the young Saiyan. Suddenly Burges started to move faster than the untrained eye would believe, he was suddenly behind Trunks punching and kicking from behind, even using his tail as another fist.

Trunks burst into the air to try and get away from Burges and regain control of the fight, but Burges followed him. The pair continued exchanging blows in the air, much to the surprise of most of the crowd.

In the stands Goku, Krillin, Vegeta, Piccolo and 18 stood watching the exchange with interest, this was the first time any of them had seen the children fight properly, Vegeta was proud that Trunks would be enjoying the rare challenge of fighting someone that seemed to be his equal, except for one thing that only Vegeta knew that the others didn't, his son could turn Super Saiyan. Krillin was coaching his son from afar, even though the child was probably stronger and faster than he was, and 18 looked on proudly.

Back in the fight nothing had changed, the pint sized fighter kept exchanging crushing blow after crushing blow in an attempt to knock the other one out of the ring. Eventually the two fighters touched back down on the ground, both sweating profusely and seeming to be enjoying the fight and respecting each others abilities. Suddenly Trunks rushed at Burges throwing another flurry of punches and kicks, each one blocked with the ease of a seasoned veteran. Burges returned the favour with a flurry of his own hitting Trunks hard for the first time. Trunks looked like he'd had enough of this kid's insolence and decided to end it. Trunks' hair began to change colour as Burges rushed him, only to stop suddenly, Trunks had appeared behind him, holding him by the tail, paralysing Burges with pain. Trunks then punched the young saiyan in the back hard enough to knock him out of the ring, making Trunks the victor.

Trunks and Burges both left the ring with a new found respect for each other. Burges was soon in the stands beside his mother awaiting the final fight between Goten and Trunks. Vegeta seemed supremely smug about the abilities of his son.

"Your son stands no chance Kakarot" Vegeta said to Goku with an air of superiority.

"Oh yeah, well I think that Goten will do fine against Trunks" Goku replied

"That sounds like loser talk to me, just like Baldy over there"

Krillin bent down next to Burges and looked upon his son proudly, "Don't worry about him Burges, he doesn't really mean that you're weaker than anyone, it's just that Trunks got lucky and found your weakness. Your mother and I are proud of you, you did really well, I think you're stronger that me now" he said proudly to Burges. The child just looked at his father and could see that he meant it, he looked up at his mother seeing the pride in her eyes.

Just before the fight started Krillin took Burges to sit with Marron. Once he had sat down Marron reached over and hugged her brother, she didn't have to say anything, and he knew what she meant. Yamcha turned his attention to Burges and said "Hey kid, that was some fight, I think you're stronger than your dad"

"Yes it would appear that way" said Roshi, "I see you've put the best parts of your parents fighting styles together to create your own, that's quite ingenious" he added making sunglasses shine.

Suddenly the crowd burst into a roar as Goten and Trunks walked into the stadium, the fight was about to begin. Trunks attacked first, but he seemed to be holding back, as Goten easily deflected the attacks. Goten however didn't hold back, he attacked ferociously, even landing a few hits, Trunks took to the air and launched an energy beam at Goten, it hit it's intended target but Goten was able to hold it at bay. The energy beam quickly dissipated and Trunks launched another flurry of punches and kicks at Goten from above, Goten got hit pretty badly and in the blink of and eye his hair had turned golden and gotten even spikier, an instant later Trunks did the same thing, Goten leapt up at Trunks and managed to hit him with a small energy beam and a couple of kicks, the fight appeared to be totally even.

Trunks and Goten then rushed towards each other at the same time meeting in the middle, colliding fist to fist. Again they parted only to come to the same stalemate, trunks quickly fired a barrage of energy beams at Goten, all of which he deflected into the air, Goten was than tackled out of the air by Trunks, who had taken advantage of the moment Goten wasn't paying him any attention. The small Goku look alike fell to the ground rapidly but managed to stop himself inches from the ground. Trunks stood in the air confidently, in a pose that had been used by his father many times, he seemed supremely confident of himself and that he would win.

In the stands Goku was gob smacked at the fact that at their age they were Super Saiyans, Vegeta seemed unfazed by this piece of information, he knew Trunks could turn Super Saiyan; it was only natural for him to assume Goten could also. Krillin wasn't even watching the fight, he was looking for his son, who had left his seat.

"18, do you know where Burges is?" he asked worriedly

"He's gone out into the courtyard to train, he must have seen Goten and Trunks turn into Super Saiyans and must be trying to make the transformation himself" She said as if it were obvious. Krillin hovered a few inches above the ground for a few seconds before flying off to show Burges something.

While this had been happening Goten and Trunks had continued to exchange punches kicks and energy blasts, the fight got faster and faster. Goten had lost a sleeve to one of Trunks' energy beams and Trunks had a little rivulet of blood coming from his brow, the fight was still fairly even. Bulma had noted that they both fought and acted like their fathers when the fight, Goten fights just like Goku, letting the enemy make the first move, and Trunks was just as confident in his superiority as Vegeta, it was like they were Goku and Vegeta as children.

Krillin landed next to Burges who was having a fight with the air, the kid looked angry. "Burges, are you alright?" Krillin asked quietly. He knew Burges had heard him and he knew he wouldn't respond "Come with me, there's something I want to show you" he said taking to the air once more. Burges followed him higher and higher as something came into view. "That's the lookout Burges; if you want to train I'm sure Mr Popo and Dende would help you"

The pair landed and Mr Popo came to greet them, "Hello Krillin, and you must be young Burges, it is a pleasure to meet you" said Popo cheerily

"Hi Popo, I was wondering if you would watch Burges for a while, he wants to train to become a Super Saiyan and I was hoping you and Dende could help him" Krillin asked. Popo seemed to think about what he had said for a moment before answering.

"Yes, I think we can help"

The fight between Goten and Trunks was starting to get dangerous as Trunks lost some of his composure as he lost his patience, Goten was able to dodge the punches and kicks easily, and managed to go on the offensive, forcing Trunks to fight defensively. Goten was only getting faster, as if the fight so far had only been a warm up. Touching back down on the ground Trunks wiped the blood off his brow, while Goten tore off what was left of his sleeve. Goten once again waited for Trunks to make the first move, but this time Trunks was faster than him, managing to punch him in the stomach, winding the young warrior. Trunks took advantage of the by kicking Goten in the side. Goten slid towards the edge of the ring and Trunks leapt after him, only to be knocked over by a kick to the chest. The two Fighters squared off once more, both determined to win the fight.

Burges walked with Popo over to the far end of the lookout, Dende saw them coming towards him and greeted the child enthusiastically "Hello, you must be Burges, I watched your fight with Trunks, you're quite the fighter"

"Excuse me Dende, but he wishes to become a Super Saiyan just like the other boys" said Popo

"This is just the right opportunity to use a little trick I learned from Guru when I was just a boy, Burges stay still" Dende placed a hand on top of Burges' head, a light erupted from his hand, engulfing the child, just as quickly as the light appeared ti disappeared, leaving Burges feeling stronger.

Trunks was getting annoyed now at how he was being kept honest by Goten, who was a whole year younger than him. Goten looked like he was enjoying the fight but was getting tired, he would have to finish this soon. This time he attacked first but was too slow for Trunks who hit him in the cheek, Trunks continued the assault, forcing Goten backwards towards the edge of the ring, a few more steps and he would have him. Goten sprung up into the air and landed behind Trunks trying the same tactic, but it didn't work, for his trouble Goten got hit in the face and thrown out of the ring only to hover just above the ground. Trunks the appeared above Goten and gave him a two-handed downward punch sending a foot underground, the fight was over.
