Fic Title: Battle For The Earth

Chapter 1: Haunting Visions

By: Mirai Trunks G

Everyday was the same for Trunks. always training and honing his skills. It wasn't long before the next tournament and Trunks wanted to make sure he was ready, ready to fight for the junior championship title for the 5th yr in a row. But he knew he would have competition with his best friend, Goten who had also entered. But, Trunks also knew that Goten wasn't as strong as he was and that trusting someone was his biggest weakness.

As Trunks continued to train he didn't realize that his father, Vegeta was closely watching his every move. "I can't BELIVE how much he has improved in the course of only two weeks." Vegeta said crossing his arms and narrowing his eyes. Vegeta had also entered the tournament hoping to get another shot at HIS rival, Kakarott But, somehow he always knew that Kakarott was always stronger and one step ahead of the game and that HE who was the Prince of all Saiyans was only second best. The more he remembered the past the more he remembered....remembered how Mirai Trunks fought against Cell and then how the young Saiyan was struck down and killed by the bio warrior, and to his amazement he even remembered how Kakarott's son, Gohan who was but a half breed defeat the one villian that the Saiyan Prince could not.

While continuing to remember the past Vegeta didn't notice his son's friend, Goten standing beside him. That is until Goten said something. "Hey Vegeta." Goten said watching Trunks in the gravity chamber. "I see Trunks is really training hard this year." "Yes...he is. He wishes to win the tournament for the fifth year in a row..." Vegeta said still staring at his son. Goten knew how proud Vegeta was at his son and wasn't afraid to boast about him. As Goten turned back at the picture window of the gravity chamber, he seen Trunks walking over towards a towel. He then looked up, Smiled and waved. Goten waved back and watched as Trunks exited the chamber. "hey father, hey Goten." the youth says waving again. "Your doing great son. Just keep up the work and training." Vegeta said placing his right hand on his son's shoulder. Trunks watched as his father was prepearing to enter the chamber and just before Vegeta entered Trunks smiled. "Thanks dad!" Vegeta just nods and stares at Goten for a moment and then enters the chamber.

"Man your father still gives me the creeps." Goten says smilling and placing his hands behind his head. Trunks just laughs. "well alot of people say that. Especially the public. anytime me and him walk into a shop everyone moves out of the way because they are so scared of him!." both laugh as they enter the kitchen. Trunks walks over and grabs two cola's, he tosses one to goten and opens the other. "I heard your training for the next Tenkaichi Budokai." Goten says sitting his drink on the counter. "Yeah mom and dad both said i could enter. but we're still not in the adult ranks." "Yeah i know that stinks doesn't it." as Trunks and Goten walk over to the table and sit down Bulma and Trunks' 5yr old sister, Bra walk in carring groceries.

Bra, was Vegeta and Bulma's second child. she too was half Saiyan just like her older brother. but didn't like fighting as much as a normal saiyan. When not busy helping her mother Bra usually hangs out with her father, Vegeta.

"You know we could use a little help out there!!" Bra said sitting a couple of bags on the ground. "Sorry sis, i didn't know you and mom were home." Trunks says taking a drink from his soda. "That's okay honey. we can get it, isn't that right Bra?" The blue haired beauty says smiling at her daughter, who looked at her mother disapprovingly. "Mom Trunks is older than me! i think he is old enough to help out too!." "Aww sis but i have company right now, i'll help after Goten leaves." "Promise!?" "Yeah I promise!" Trunks says smiling and giving the thumbs up sign. Trunks then watches his sister run off to her room smiling.

As Trunks and Goten continue their conversation Bulma goes out and checks the mail. when she comes in she leans against the counter and looks at an envelope addressed to her son. "Hey son you got something in the mail dear. i think its from the tournament officials." Trunks gets up from the table and walks over to his mom and she hands him the letter. Goten gets up as well and joins the two. When the lavender haired youth turns the envelope over he sees the official seal of the martial arts tournament and smiles. excitedly, he rips open the envelope. Inside the letter read:

"Dear Mr. Briefs,

We are pleased to announce that you have been granted the permission to participate in the adult division of the World Martial Arts Tournament.
When you arrive you will register as usual. be sure to bring this official letter of authorization with you so that the registration booth will place you in the appropriate division.
Be advised though, that this division is much tougher and the penalties are much higher than that of the Junior Division. and that the scoring of the matches are also much sticter given that this division is for the more advanced fighter.
We, at the offices of the tournament have been impressed by your current victories these past 5 yrs and have seen that you are indeed a well trained fighter. We hope that will continue to participate in the many tournaments that have yet to come!
Enjoy your summer and we look forward to seeing you within the next two months.

Sincerely,
Robert K. Peerson, President"

After reading the letter Trunks was speechless. He couldn't belive what he had just read!! The Officials were allowing him to participate in the adult division! The young teenager didn't know what to say. both Goten and Bulma who was now leaning against the counter drinkins some tea. was wanting to know why Trunks was so quiet. "so what did the letter say dear?" as Bulma took a sip of her tea. "Mom, Goten! guess what!" Trunks said with wide-eyed excitement. "what is it Trunks?" both Goten and Bulma said at the same time. "The tournament officials are allowing me to compete in the adult division of the tournament!!." "What!? Thats great Trunks!" Goten said as he too smiled from ear to ear with excitement. "hmm I wonder if that means that I am in the adult division as well!?" "Oh i'm sure you are Goten." Bulma said with a reassuring look. "can i look at the letter Trunks?" Goten said pointing to the piece of paper.
"sure, here you go." as he glanced at the letter he could tell it was the real thing. and he DID wonder if he got one as well. "Hey Bulma can i use your phone for a minute?" Goten asked while walking over to the cordless. "sure Goten go right ahead and oh..Tell your father I said hi alright?" "sure thing!"

As Goten dialed the phone he seen Dr. Briefs and Kitty walk into the kitchen for something to eat and then turn around and leave. After about the 6th ring, Goten started to wonder if anybody was home or if they might have all been over at his brother, Gohan's house. After letting the phone ring 4 more times Goten hung up. disappointed he walked over and sat back down at the table. "wha's wrong with you Goten?" Trunks questioned. "I take it nobedy was home." Goten lowers his head. "No..." "cheer up Goten! Ya know i'm sure you got a letter too. i mean if my big strong son as well as your best friend got one, then i am positive that you got one as well." Bulma said reasuring the half saiyan. "hey yeah maybe your right!" Goku's son said now standing. "any ways i need to be getting or my family will worry." "are you sure Goten? I'm sure your mother wouldn't mind if you stayed here for the night." Bulma now looks at Goten and smiles. Placing one hand on her while the other rests at her side. "of course i wouldn't mind Goten. You and your family are welcome here as much as they like and you know that!!" She says winking and smiling. "I know, But i still have to train for the tournament as well. so i probably ought to go." Goten says standing by the door. "Okay maybe me and Trunks will stop by tomorrow and you two can train together while i visit with your mom and dad! how does that sound?" "Sounds good to me. see you guys tomorrow then." Goten waves and takes off for the sky. As both Bulma and Trunks wave from the ground.

"Give Us your money old man!!" One of the robbers said pointing a gun at the shop owner. "If i give you the money then will you leave?" The robber just laughs. "Hey boss we gos company outside! We gots us some Coppers hehe." "What!?" "We know your in there Black Steel gang!! now come out with your hands up!!" The captain of the police squad yells through a megaphone.

Meanwhile up above Goten was flying by when he heard the sounds of Gunfire just below him. "Hmm...I wonder whats going on down there?" Goten said stopping in midflight and hovering several feet above the scene. "I think i'm going to check this out." Now descending and landing back behind a building close to the stand off, Goten runs over and asks a spectator whats going on. "Excuse me sir! Bu, can you tell me whats happening here?" The man just keeps his watchin on the police and robbers ignoring the young Goten. So...Goten tries again. "SIR!!!" he hollers, right into the man's ear. the man screams as goten backs away. "what do you want boy!?" he questions angrily. "what is goin on here?" The man can't belive he just heard this boy say that! How could the boy not know whats going on. As if Goten knew what was going on! Yeah right! "You mean you don't know!?" "Know what sir?" "That the Black Steel gang has been holding up that their shop for over 2 hours now!" "What!?" Goten said in shock. He couldn't belive that nothing was done yet and that the police should have stopped this long ago. "I've got to do something to help!" Goten said out loud. The blue haired man just stared at Goten. "You have got to be crazy if you think a kid like yourself can stand up against the Black Steels!!" "I know i can!" Goten says narrowing his eyes and smiling and then he walks off.

As the young half saiyan approaches, he is in awe at how the police could let this standoff get so out of hand. knowing what he was going to do, Goten marched right into the line of fire. "Hey whats that crazy kid doing!?" one of the officers hollered as he seen Goten. "Hold your fire!! Hold your fire!!" Goten could hear that the police had halted their assault now that he was in their way and he also heard the police chief tell his men to stand down and hold position. "Kid Get of of the way now! I reapeat get of the way!!" an officer hollered through the megaphone. As the police continue to pursuade the mysterious boy to move, the boy turns around and smiles.

Goten tells the police immediatly that he isn't going anywhere until these crooks have been captured and imprisoned. just then the boys smile faded and what the police saw next was almost nearly impossible!! "What is he!?" one officer asked the police chief. "I...I..Uh..." naturally he was as stunned as the rest of his unit. Now glowing with the burning rage of a super saiyan Goten immediatly jumps into the fray, his powerful emerald eyes staring down at each of his opponants. "What the!? why is that boy glowing now commander??" one of the flunkies asks the leader. "I don't know and i don't care anyone who stands in the way of the black steel gang will die!! Shoot him down men!!" with those words the men obeyed their leader. Goten just stood their firmly planted to the concrete and still smiling. "when are you going to give up!! its futile to fight me! you won't win!!" Seeing that the bullets aren't even hitting the young man they stop firing. "Wha, What the heck are you!?" another man asked to the golden fighter standing b4 him. as they were watching this mysterious man of gold they didn't notice that he had moved from his position and had appeared behind them. "I am the one who will put an end to this! I will be the one to put you away!!" with those words all the men jumped and looked very frightend now. except for a few. "How did you get in here so fast!! it isn't possible to move like that!" Goten just smiled. "and now you will all pay for your crimes!" with that the men get angry and start firing inside the shop. The young super saiyan catches every single bullet and crushes them in his fist. "If that is the best you can do then you might as well surrender now!" with those words the leader of the gang busted forth.

Being a martial arts expert the leader of the gang, went forth attacking this golden warrior with everything he had, doing nothing but touching the air. finally Goten powered up slightly and and knocked the leader of the gang out the window and to the waiting police who quickly collected the fallen gang leader. soon the men were attacking this young boy who had defeated their comrade but their attempts were also met with failier and with the waiting police outside.

Powering down to normal, Goten stepped outside and smiled. the police looked up and seen that this boy no longer had the golden aura, the golden hair or the piercing green eyes. He looked just as normal as any other citizen of the city but yet he wasn't. Something was different about him, something that they couldn't figure out. "whats wrong? You all look like you've just seen a ghost." Finall the police captain who was still dumb founded about this whole situation tried to speak. "Kid....how....when..." Goten just let out a small laugh. "Well i have to be going now, take care and start training your men better or the citty will lose faith in the law enforcement." with those words goten took off to the sky again and headed home. as the officers arrested the black steel gang and stared at the young here as he flew off.

It was almost midnight and Chi Chi was worried. So worried in fact she wouldn't let Goku, Gohan or Videl sleep. Goku and Gohan both went outside while Videl was trying to stay awake at the kitchen table. "Look Chi Chi I'm sure Goten is safe. I mean he IS a super saiyan for crying out loud. He isn't a regular human. so i am sure he can take care of himself." Videl said lying her head on the table. Just then Chi CHi turned to Videl and smiled. "maybe your right. I guess i do worry to much." As soon as she said those words, Goku and Gohan both floated down infront of the doorway leading to the inside of the house. "Any sign of Goten?" Chi Chi said looking at her husband and oldest son. "He should be home in about 30 minutes hun." Goku said as he walked in. "Gohan i think you can take Videl and Pan home now. They look exausted." Goku said turning to his son. Gohan smiled and looked at his beautiful wife asleep at the table and his beautiful daughter asleep on the floor lying on a soft down pillow. They were all exausted but instead decided to the night at his father and mother's house.

Gohan always missed the Earlier days. but not the days that he spent fighting the monsters known as Cell and Majin Buu. Someday he thought, that would make an awsome story to tell to my daughter. but not right now. she was still much to young. he would have to wait at least another 5 yrs before she would truely understand her heritage and the heroic legends of her grandpa Goku and her father, Gohan.

As Gohan drifted into a deep sleep he didn't know that his brother, Goten had arrived safely home. Luckily Chi Chi didn't punish him. all she did was tell her youngest how worreied sick he mad her. Goten appologized and explained everything that had happend. Luckily both his parents belived his explanations. Because the same thing happend to gohan when he was 17 and that the robbers/kidnappers were a gang called the Red Shark gang. Finally at 2am Goku and Chi Chi sent Goten to bed. Soon both Goku and his wife also went to bed. "Man i really though you were going to let him have it there for a minute Chi Chi!" Goku said placing his hands behind his head. "He is your son goku so i figured you could handle it the way you wanted." Goku blinked a couple of times in awe. "Chi Chi? Are you feeling alright?" Goku says turning to his wife. "I've got my scholar so....if you want Goten to be like you thats fine with me." She says reaching for the light smiling. "Now go to sleep Goku. We'll talk somemore tomorrow. Okay sweetheart?" "Okay hun, Goodnight." "Goodnight Goku." With the lights off, Goku rolls over to face the outside of the bed but instead falls off. Chi Chi hears a loud thud and turns the light back on to find her husband face down on the floor. "OWWW!!!! Darn it!! Where did that floor come from!!!" Goku says getting up and rubbing his head. "That was smarts!" Chi Chi just laughs and Goku double blinks at her and starts laughing too. "Okay we have had our laugh for the night. Goodnight Goku." Goodnight Chi Chi. Sweetdreams." "same to you to Goku." and both fall fast asleep.

"Kaaaameeeehaaameeehaaaaaa!!!!!" The dream still echoed in his mind. Gohan couldn't figure out what was going on. but he knew it wasn't good. everyone was there. His brother Goten, Trunks, his father Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin and #18...but he couldn't figure out what could be happening. As gohan stood there. He seen the person or being just snicker, hold his or its hand up and fire a blast at them. as the blast got closer Gohan turned into SSJ2 and put a shield up that would protect everyone. squinting from the bright light he tried to make out this beings face but couldn't. he could here the cheers and ll comming from his family and friends. "I'm trying my best!" he shouted "but this being is too powerful!" "Gohan if we could help you we would but all of us have fought and failed its you turn to protect the earth again son!."

As Gohan held the Ki shield he looked back behind him, the bright light only made everyone look like dark shadows against the lit up atmosphere. as he turned back around a chunk of the ground flew right at his face. Gohan thew up his hand and blasted it. The small pieces flew passed him. one cutting his face, another his arm. he to was loosing like everyone else. he could feel his shiled slippin and just before the shield totally slipped, one huge blast came down from the sky and totally decimated the monster. as everthing started to come back into focus, Gohan took his shield down and looked up at the sky. as the dust settled he could see 2 glowing figures standing infront fo the sun. "Oh my gosh. I forgot about everyone!" he says turning to his friends and family.

As Gohan looked back he could see that everyone was alright. he sees his father walking towards him. "You did it son! thank you now the earth will be safe once again." Gohan smiles. "it wasn't only me dad. Someone else helped too." Gohan said smiling and looking for the two who aided him. but they were now ehre to be found. at that moment another huge ball of light headed for them and as Gohan and the rest screamed he woke up. "What the heck was that!?" Gohan says breathing heavy and wiping the sweat from his face. Gohan looked over at Videl and Pan who were both still sleeping soundly and then looked over at the clock, 5:15am it read. "Man, Some dream." He said laying back down, trying not to wake his family. "but what could it mean..." Gohan pondered on the dream until he fell back into a soundless sleep.
