The Ultimate Saiyan

It has been a year since the defeat of the mighty Omega Shenron and the day Goku died (again) after giving his power to the real Shenron so everybody who was killed by Super 17 and the Evil Shenrons were resurrected. Since the Dragon Balls can't be used for another 39 years, the Z fighters train hard every day to ensure they are ready for any enemy that comes their way.

Prologue: Training Session

"Mom, I'm going to go train with Trunks." Goten said as he left the house.

He took off into the air, and as he was flying, he started thinking back to the first time he met his father and how nervous he got. The wind blew through his air as the young half-saiyan began to think of the few years he had actually gotten to know his father. He wanted to become that strong, so he could protect the Earth. Without the dragon balls to help them, the Z-Fighters decided to train extra hard to unsure the safety of the Earth. Yamcha, Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu, Trunks and even the great saiyan prince Vegeta. Goten thought about how the Earth was basically safe, but still, they had to become stronger. After all, there were some powerful enemies out there. He started thinking back to the time he fused with Trunks to form Gotenks and how they fought Majin Buu. He wanted to become that strong alone. But could he? Never-the-less, thinking about the fusion made him smile.

"Man, we sure were strong when we were Gotenks," he said out loud as if he were actually speaking with someone.

Trunks was heading for the door when he sensed a strange power which suddenly disappeared. He could have sworn he felt something. In fact, eight something's. But, then they just disappeared. Was it in his mind? He shrugged and turned to walk out. Then he sensed them again. Just then the front door opened and Vegeta stepped into the house to see Trunks with a confused look on his face.

"What?" Vegeta asked.

"N-Nothing", Trunks said as he walked past his father and out of the house.

He didn't know what it was, but Trunks had a feeling today was going to be ugly. And boy, was he right.

Goten stood in the middle of nowhere. While waiting for Trunks he thought back to the day he first trained with his brother. How they fought and how often surprised Gohan by transforming into a super saiyan. Gohan… he hadn't trained in a while. The optimist thought that there is no possible way someone stronger than Omega Shenron could appear. Goten hoped he was right.

"Hey, Goten, snap out of it," Trunks said as he landed, breaking Goten's trance.

"Sorry, just think 'bout the old days," Goten replied.

Trunks laughed. "The old days? Why? Never mind. I guess we should get this training session started." Trunks took his fighting stance.

"Lets warm up a little before we go full force." Goten prepared himself.

Trunks nodded and with that dashed straight towards Goten. Trunks swung a punch at Goten, but was easily dodged. Goten countered the attack with an upper-cut. With that Goten attacked Trunks with fury, but each punch was dodged or blocked by Trunks' speed. The fight got more intense with each punch, but was going nowhere as the two fighters were equal in every way. Trunks tried to retaliate, but the same thing occurred in reverse. It was impossible to land a bunch on one another. Suddenly, Trunks stopped fighting as he felt the strange energy he felt earlier that day. Too bad Goten didn't, as his fist connected with Trunks' face.

"Hey," Trunks shouted. "Watch it!"

"Why'd you stop fighting?" Goten asked, stepping back.

"Can't you feel it?" Trunks asked.

Just then Goten picked up the same strange energy Trunks felt. It felt weird. Really evil. Like Majin Buu evil, just not as powerful.

"Wh-What is that?" Goten asked.

"I don't know," Trunks replied. They both looked around, staying cautious as the wind picked up.

"There!" Goten shouted while pointing at someone standing on a mountain. "That must be the guy."

They both looked at each other, exchanging thoughts and then nodded at each other, before taking off at the same time. They flew to the mountain with great speed and stopped to find a red skinned, demon looking person about the size of the last form of Majin Buu – wearing black pants and nothing else. They could see the muscle on his red skin and some scars too.

"Hey buddy, are you lost?" Trunks asked, ready for a fight.

The demon didn't give him a chance to breath, before dashed towards Trunks and tried to strike him. Trunks used his speed to disappear behind the demon.

"Wow, your fast," Trunks said sarcastically.

But he spoke too soon. Trunks was hit on the head from behind by a surprise attack. He turned see his attacker only to find it was the same demon he just dodged.

"Wow, you really are fast," Trunks said surprised with his opponent's speed, no sarcasm this time.

"Trunks, he didn't hit you because he was fast," Goten said in a surprised tone.

Trunks turned around to see the exact same person standing in front of him.

"There's two of them," Trunks concluded.

And as if on cue, Goten got kicked on the head from behind as well.

"Make that three," Goten said annoyed.

Trunks turned to face the second demon to show himself. How many of these things were there?

"Well, are there more of you?" Trunks asked. As he finished his question, three more of these demons appeared in front of him.

"I had to ask," he said unenthusiastically. "Great, now there's six of them."

"Make that eight," Goten stated while looking at the four demons around him.

"Well, this training session just got a little bit more interesting." Trunks replied as he prepared for a fight.

And then they started powering up.

"Let's do this," Trunks said as he rushed towards his opponents.

All four demons suddenly disappeared. Trunks stopped and looked around. As he turned to his left he was punched in the face. Then another demon kneed him in the stomach and kicked him down. Trunks managed to gain control of the fight by dodging the next two demons attacks and knocking one of then into a mountain with one powerful punch.

Wow, these guys are fast. Trunks thought to himself.

"O.K. let's get started," Goten said looking at the four demons surrounding him.

All four demons suddenly charged Goten, who was praying they weren't all that strong. Goten started flying upwards hoping that the four demons smash into each other. But they pull up just in time and started following Goten, eyes locked onto their target. As for Goten, he could see that the demons were so close to each other and that gave him an idea. He turned, facing downwards, towards the demons and slammed his wrist together, ready to do something that he hadn't done in a long time.

"KA-ME-HA-ME-HAAAAAAAAAAA."

The blue wave of energy erupted from his hands, but unfortunately, the blast hit only one demon, as the other three dodged it. On the bright side, the blast has shot the demon straight into the ground followed by an explosion which shook the area.

Take that. Goten thought to himself.

Trunks charged the three remaining demons and punched one of them in the jaw causing the demon to start flipping backwards. He also though he heard a crack, but wasn't sure. The second demon tried to kick, but Trunks grabbed his leg and flew with great speed downwards, smashing the demon into the ground with amazing force.

After that he charged the two remaining demons and started punching one of the two remaining demons about 20 times, hitting with everyone, each one getting harder. He then lifted his hand to the demons chest and a blast of energy emerged from him, sending the demon crashing into the same mountain he hit the first demon into. The entire mountain began to cripple and come down. It had been a while since that had happened.

Three down, one to go.

Goten stared at the three demons in front of him, waiting for them to make the first move. The demons charged Goten and as they reached him, a fast moving fist fight broke out between the demons and Goten. There were blocks and dodges, but the hits were minimal and if they came, simply bounced off the fighters as fast as their fists were swinging. Goten managed to hit one of the demons and then blasted the other two into the ground with two energy waves.

"Three against one and I'm still winning," Goten bragged as Trunks appeared next to him "Done already?"

"Yep," Trunks replied with a smirk.

But it was too soon to celebrate as the eight demons appeared in front of the two young Saiyans.

"They're stronger than they look," Trunks said, fists up.

Before the boys could attack, the demons began to glow a bright ruby red colour. The light got so strong that it momentarily blinded Trunks and Goten, causing them to cover there eyes as a giant light flashed. As the light disappeared, Goten and Trunks took their arms away from their faces and saw that there were only four demons. From eight to four. They just halved.

"There are only four now," Goten said.

"Your right, but these ones look a little bigger than before," Trunks replied. "I-I think they fused."

"And they are much stronger than before," Goten added. "I can feel it."

Trunks started powering up, wondering if you should go higher. But then he decided he should so he could end this quickly. And just like that, after a great power up and an explosion of power, he was soon surrounded by a golden aura. He had transformed into a super saiyan as his hair turned gold and went up, as though gelled.

"So are we."

Goten, following his friends footsteps, also transformed into a super saiyan.

"Right," Goten replied. "Time for round two."

Trunks and Goten stand ready to fight their four new opponents, but will they be able to beat these demons or do these new enemies have more tricks up their sleeves. Find out in Chapter 1: A New Threat.
