Sooooo. This is a side story for the another story that I'm writing, I just hope this is even remotely good.

Anyway, Young Justice the animated series and Green Lantern are property of DC Comics and WB entertainment and Dragon Ball is the property of Akira Toriyama and Toei Animation.

Prologue

At the age of seventeen, Trunks had come to accept many things that he didn't even acknowledge when he was a kid. Thanks to that both he and his friend and practically brother, heck his other half considering that Gotenks wouldn't exist without them, had matured greatly. They attended public school together at their own insistence and had gotten to have a lot of fun, meeting new people and even dating girls as they got older. Goten more than Trunks, the younger Son had become fascinated by the opposite sex almost immediately after he hit puberty, which had his mother wondering where he gotten that from considering his father and brother were never that girl crazy.

Now as their last year of high school loomed, Trunks felt he wanted to have one more great adventure. Before he started to take things seriously as the heir to the Capsule corporation and; threw himself into his studies with a renewed vigor.

'Not that I'm not already at the top of my class.' he thought as he packed the things he would need for this adventure. 'But being the head of Capsule Corp is a whole ball game.'

Once he gets finished packing, he put his things in a capsule and pulled out the capsule case on the inner pocket of his orange and brown vest pocket. Opening it, he placed his the capsule inside and put it away. Looking up he felt as Goten as he approached Capsule Corp and landed in the back yard.

Walking to his bedroom window, he opened it and wave at his friend.

"Hey Goten, you ready?" he asked getting his attention.

"Yeah, I'm good to go!" Goten answered giving his friend a thumb up.

"Alright!" Trunks replied, and jumped out the window to land out side. "Then let's get this show on the row."

"Hahahahaha!" Goten laughed and rubbed the back of his head, his long hair obstructing his eyes. "I can't wait for us to go toKonatsia, I bet Tapion will be surprise to see us."

"That's the idea," Trunks said as he reached in his best and took out the capsule case. Grabbing the time machine capsule he threw it, and with a loud boom and a lot of smoke the time machine stood in front of the duo. "Well let's get going!"

This time machine's designed just like the first one that Bulma had seen, about twenty years ago, except that she had thought of making it bigger to accommodate five people standing with before it became a tight squeeze. Trunks had added two chairs for comfort bringing the space down to two people.

After the two got inside the time machine, they took their seats and Trunks started the take off sequence. A minute the time machine was in the sky, a round white aura surrounding its form and with a wink it disappeared.

Traveling through the dimension that governed time in their world, was always an exciting experience for Trunks. When ever he looked out the dome shape top, he wondered about the effects of those rainbow colored lights that moved in this otherwise empty realm. If someone where to come in contact with them, would that person get aged to dust, or would they get de-aged into non-existence.

Maybe they just cease to exist.

"Trunks you're doing it again." Goten called to his friend, causing him to turn to him with a startled look.

"Sorry, I just can't help but think whenever we visit Tapion."

"I hear you, but try not to space out again." Goten replied. "You're the one who knows how to pilot this boat, and if you're not paying-Aaahhh!" Goten exclaimed as the time machine begins to rock and he gets thrown back on his chair.

"Trunks, what's going on?" he asked as his friend worked furiously at the controls.

"Give me a minute!" Trunks replied, as he used the equipment to make a rudimentary scans.

"Something caused the time machine to over shoot our destination... shit!" he said and looked up and out the dome.

Following his gaze, Goten saw as the rainbow colored energy got drained into a white expanse creating a swirl of color as it did.

"Trunks, get us out of here!"

"I can't." Trunks replied sounding solemn as he tried to get control of the ship. "That thing is sucking everything into itself, we just don't have enough power to avoid," he trailed off as he thought of something.

"Goten transform!" he told his friend as he transformed into a super Saiyan.

Nodding, Goten transforms and follows Trunks instructions as the purple haired teen gave them to him. Together they surrounded the ship with their power, creating another layer to the protection for it and began to pull away from the swirls gravity.

'Were doing it!' Trunks thought with a smile. 'Were going to live!'

That thought was short-lived however, because as soon as he thought it, as the white expanse became black. Enhancing its gravity by a hundred times the force, until they're sucked into it and inside a black corridor, whose gravity began to slowly crush the time machine around them.

The had two tried their best to keep the gravity out but in the end, it was a futile effort. As the machine molded itself around their bodies, pushing them shoulder to shoulder; as the gravity crush them to death. Taking one glance at each other they knew that they only had one option and with a loud yell, they called out every bit of power they possessed, destroying the time machine before it could crush them, leaving their lives in the mercy of the void.

?

In an underground laboratory, a group of scientist worked on an experiment to improve upon existing portal technology and create their own, while behind the safety of a force field. However, since the beginning of this experiment, all results had proven inconclusive and, no matter the changes to the design, or new calculations, they kept coming up short. As their understanding of the technology wasn't enough to make any significant leaps or changes.

With today being the last day that this experiment would run before it gets shut down. The scientist involved are putting all their efforts together with all the data from the previous attempts. With newly acquired power source to use that would hopefully bridge together their universe to others.

The head scientist a middle aged caucasian man with pepper colored hair and mustache, looked toward the bald man who has funded and provided the necessary equipment and nodded, informing him that they were ready to start thier final attempt. Before turning back to the main computer console, as his team informed him of the process at hand.

The bald man in a black business suit a white shirt and red tie with slightly tanned skin. Looked on as the scientist worked, his arms crossed over his chest and a bored look on his face. Truthfully, he wasn't all that hopeful for this experiment, as the current used of the portal technology was already flawless and there are much more interesting things happening on this lab after all.

But he decided to be here, for this last run to finally put the last nail in the coffin in what has been the worts experiment to date, before he head towards genetics manipulation lab to see the beginning of his new pet project as its brought to life.

Bringing his attention back to the project at hand, he saw as the usual bright white bright portal appeared between two pylons, only for it to emmidiately begin to draw in exotic energy in the colors of a rainbow. The force field used to protect them was keeping it from exposing anyone in the room, but from the way the shield fluctuated, he could already tell that it wouldn't hold for too long.

"Shut it down." the bald man ordered in a calm voice, as he watched the panicking scientist work.

"No wait, I can fix this!" the head scientist spoke up as he typed furiously at the main console.

"I said, shut it down." the man order again his voice taking a dangerous edge as he glared at the man for daring disobeying him.

For a second, scientist was frozen in place, as he remembered just who he was talking. Before nodding meekly and beginning to input the shut down sequence. He was halfway done, when the usually bright hole in the universe that was the portal, became black and, started to suck in more exotic energy at an alarming rate.

"No, no, no, no, no, NO!" the head scientist protest as he tried to work out the problem.

"Useless!" the bald man exclaimed with annoyance as he moved up to the scientist and pushed him out-of-the-way.

Typing quickly, the bald man used his incredible intelligence to combat and correct the problems that were arising with both the shielding and the shut down process of the portal. He was just at the brink of finishing when a golden energy shot out from the portal, overloading the force field generators while knocking everyone in the room back and destroying the portals main power supply.

Groaning from his position on the ground, the bald man shook his head to clear the cobwebs, before bringing a hand up to his head to steady himself. Feeling his hand become wet, he brought it away from his head, to see it covered in blood. Glaring at it for a second, he turned his gaze at the room searching for the incompetent man who almost got him killed because of his inability to compensate for his mistakes.

But as his gaze roamed the room, he came upon the two forms that hadn't been in there before.

'How did they get here?' he thought before getting to his feet and moving towards them.

Doing so, had allowed him to see that there were pieces of yellow, black and grey metal, that wasn't part of the experiment spread all around the room.

'They came from the portal.' he concluded to himself, forgetting about the scientist and reached into his suit jacket, for his high-tech communication device and contacted his genetics department. 'If they managed to come through portal intact, then they can prove useful to me.'

"Doctor Desmond," he replied as the person at the other end picked up. "I have two new specimens for you to test out."

Chapter 1

July, 20, 2025 17:00 EDT Earth Time

A white and green ship, that resembled a manta ray, with a large green orb of energy inserted into its tail. Flew through space, heading towards the former location of the planet Earth. As it headed towards its destination, it took measures to avoid the new asteroid field created when the planet Earth got destroyed.

Inside the ship, the Interceptor, its sole occupant, a short blonde haired young woman, with pointy ears, golden skin, wearing a skin-tight black and green suit. Sat at the ships command center, tapping away at the control console as she went over the data that its AI, was gathering with the ships sensors. As she looked over the data, she thought back to the reason that she was here now.

How her allies, Kilowog, Sinestro, Saint Walker and the sentient planet Mogo had come out from hiding and attacked one of the galactic emperors factory planet to steal a ship so that they could use its power source to . During that time, the emperors forces, compromised of red lanterns, yellow lanterns and the reprogrammed Man Hunters. Had been at war with the forces of Apocalypse and all its conquered planets for the last six months. Leaving this planet, on the far side of the galaxy, with only its main forces to protect it.

Of course those main forces consisted of a red lantern who over saw all the work being done in the factory and a dozen battalion of 300 man hunters strong as they over saw productions of ships and Liberators. The plan had been simple and the five lanterns knew that to succeed, they would have to-

"Lantern Rrab." the AI spoke up cutting into Arisia's thought.

"What is it?" Arisia asked, knowing full well what the AI was going to say, but wanting it confirmed any.

"You asked me to remind you when we reached our destination." AI spoke again, the globe of light that composed its interface blinking as she spoke in her synthesize voice. "And as you can see on your console. Were 600,000 kilometers from where Earth was formerly located."

"Right." Arisia answered with a nod of her head. "How soon until we can travel back to the year 2010?"

"In anticipation to your need, I already started the time machine function added to the Interceptors systems." the AI explained as she commanded the console in front of Arisia to show her the progress. "It will take one minute before the ship is ready."

"Then as soon as your ships ready, takes us to our destination."

"Acknowledged."

July 22, 2010 16:00 EDT

Cadmus Labs: SL 52 Hidden Room Beside Project Kr

The room beside the original holding cell for project Kr aka Superboy, was one of Cadmus largest kept secrets. As being held here where countless specimen to use for experimentation or for the use of supplying genetic material for future projects. Most of specimens themselves consisted of genomorphs ranging from G-globins to G-sprites, that were created by Cadmus with intentions of being used as weapons.

In this room however, there existed 4 specimens that where different from the rest.

One of them was a young man about 14 years of age, with red hair combed up into spikes and olive skin. That looked pallid because of the fluid he's suspended in to keep him alive. Looking at the boy though the first thing you would noticed was that his right arm was missing from the elbow down with nothing but a set of bandages keeping the damage from being visible the second was that he was only wearing a set of shorts to protect his decency.

In the middle of the room, pass the tubes containing a roll of G-trolls to hide the red-haired young man, was another boy in the same predicament. This boy though was taller with short black hair that had been comb forward and, he had a slightly dark shade of olive colored skin to the first boy. What makes this one different from the other boy was that his pod was largest offered to any human size being, with multiple computer consoles.

However, these two weren't the people who green lantern Rrab had sneaked into Cadmus deepest levels for. Moving on from Project Match's pod, she headed in the opposite direction of the pod containing the Roy Harper. Flying past all the pods, until she reached two that where set up in a corner in the back, hidden from all prying eyes.

Inside each pod, were the two young man that she had looked for, and one of the few answers to the threat that has plague all life in the universe in the future.

Looking over them both, she shook her head at the lighter haired teenager with bronzed skin condition.

'Once I get them back to the Interceptor, I better wake up the one with the darker hair first.' Arisia thought as she pointed her ring at the pod contained the black-haired young man with the fair complexion.

Firing her power ring, she cut a large hole into the pod that released the mixture and the young man. But before he could hit the ground she had created a construct of a large cushion and caught him, turning towards the other pod. Arisia extended her hand forward and cut into its glass surface, released the second young man from his prison before catching him like she did her friend.

With little more than a thought, she brought both constructs together and fused them into a large bubble, making sure that it was big enough to keep her two damsels comfortable.

"Interceptor AI." She called as she brought the ring closer to her face. "I've got the two specimens that lantern Jordan had reported were used to created Nikao. Now I need you to send me the information on the underground tunnels so that I can get them back to the ship."

"Acknowledge." The AI's feminine voice responded over the power rings communication system. "Sending map of the underground cavern and all possible exits now."

After a few seconds, a second construct's created in the form of a map that showed Arisia where she would have to remove the wall to reach the rest of the underground cavern. As well as showing her a detail map of said cavern, how to navigate it to the exit furthest from Cadmus and approximately how long it would take her to accomplish.

Getting to work immediately, Arisia had found the wall she needed and use her rings to remove it in a way that would allow her to put it back into place; covering her tracks. Once she had removed the wall and made her way further into the cavern she sealed it behind her and left. Never one noticing the thin, humanoid shape man, with grey skin and horns who had watched her rescue of Goten and Trunks from the shadows.

'Looks like my sneaking in here has finally come in handy.' Dubblix thought with a smile as he filed away the weaken walls site, before turning and heading out; making preparations for the future.

July 23, 7:16 EDT

Interceptor Medical Bay: ?

Goten was dreaming of a land of breakfast food as far as the eye can see, with syrup filled streams, man-made waffle roads. With a milk pouring fountain new nestled between a group of trees that had bacon for leafs.

To the half saiyan was almost the picture perfect heaven.

Running towards one of the trees, he leaned down and grabbed a piece of the pancake earth; pulling a piece of it from the ground before jumping into the air. Landing on one the branches of one of the trees surrounding the fountain and he began to grab and eat the bacon with the piece of pancake ground. As he ate, Goten looked around this world, taking in the sights and the smells of food. In the distance he could see a mountain with what looked like giant fried eggs, donuts and bagels dotting its top where snow would have usually been.

'Man, the only thing this place needs is girls and it would be perfect.' he thought with as a small smile came to his face and he reached for more food.

Suddenly he heard it, the bell-like laughter of girls coming from somewhere behind him. Turning his head, he saw something that hadn't been there before, a large house made of bread, and walking around the corner towards the back of the house was a group of girls dressed in strange lab coats. Talking amongst each other as they disappeared around one of the houses corners.

Jumping off the trees branch, Goten tried to call out for them as he ran in their direction. But all he could managed was a garble speech as his cheeks were out puffed out with food. Chewing quickly, he swallowed the food as he made it to the corner and turned to look.

"What!?" he let out in a gasp as instead of the girls he was expecting he found Trunks, sitting in a wheel chair in front of a cliff, with his back towards him.

"Trunks, What's going?" Goten asked as he made his way to his friends side. "And why are you in that cha- Oh no."

The half saiyan finished with dismay as he reached his friend.

'No, this isn't happening!' he thought with a shake of his head as he took in Trunks' appearance.

Goten had never seen Trunks looked so ragged in his life, not even after a fight where they went all out against each other. Looking at his face, he saw that it was shallow and grey as though he hadn't eaten or gotten any sun in a long time.

His eyes where dull and unseeing as they stared ahead, the usual dark blue eyes that he remembered, looking dead. The hair that he remembers his friend putting so much effort into taking care of, looking as though he hadn't washed it for weeks, giving it a matted and greasy look. The smell coming off his body was the worst thing he had ever smelled. Even worst than his father after they had a long training session from when he was a kid.

But what had shocked Goten the most and had him shaking a little with disbelief, while tears began to run down his cheeks. Was that Trunks had been missing an arm and a leg, the wound visible and bleeding out in large amounts, from what was left of his left knee and right elbow.

"T-Trunks!" Goten called for his friend as again as he slowly reached for him and placed a hand on his shoulder. All the while, the world around him being forgotten as it morphed into a nothing but dark shadows, leaving the two in a deep nothingness.

"A-are you alright? Who did this to you? Can speak? Answer me?" Goten asked one question after another, while shaking his friend's shoulder.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Trunks suddenly roared out in a distorted voice as he turned his head towards Goten, his eyes glowing red; causing him to let go of Trunks' shoulder and stumble backwards.

"W-what?" Goten asked as he shook his head in confusion.

'How can this be my fault? I don't even know what happened?'

"I WAS THE ONE THAT THEY DECIDED TO HURT BECAUSE YOU WHERE TOO SOFT!" Trunks said again as he floated into the air and slowly turned the rest of his body towards him. "IF YOU HAD BEEN A BETTER WARRIOR I WOULDN'T BE IN THIS DAMN CHAIR!"

"I-" Goten began as he tried to find his voice and he stepped away from his friend.

"YOU WHAT?" Trunks roared. "YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING? BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY IT!" he finished and flew at Goten, tackling him to the ground.

As the two hit the ground, Trunks brought his left hand around Goten's throat and began to squeeze with all his might with the intent on killing the other half saiyan.

"T-Tru-" Goten choked out as with tears in his eyes, unable to bring himself to fight against his friend. As the shock from discovering him and then being blamed for his condition had shocked him into in activity.

"I'LL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER BETRAY ME AGAIN!" Trunks said as his form changed into a shadow with red eyes before a second-hand wrapped itself around Goten's throat, applying more pressure.

'Trunks!' was the last thing Goten thought before a sharp smell invaded his senses.

Gasping in as much air as he could, Goten jumped sat up in bed and looked around the unfamiliar room, as he tried to catch his breath.

'It was all a dream.' he thought with some relief as he reached up and brushed his hair away from his eyes. 'Trunks isn't hurt and he doesn't blame me, it was nothing but a dream.' he told himself with as much conviction as he could muster.

"Have you managed to calm yourself?" a synthesized voice asked from behind, causing him to gasp in surprise and jump off the bed.

Landing on the ground, he quickly pivoted around to get met with a green see through ball with a circle in its center, that was hanging above a computer monitor with a naked picture of him.

"Why do you have that picture?" Goten questioned as he blushed with indignation.

"It's compromised from the scans we preformed to get access to your over all health." the ball answered.

"Y-y-your a girl!" Goten exclaimed as his annoyance, became embarrassment and he flushed further and looked down. "AAAHHHH!" he screamed and jumped in front of the bed, making himself as small as possible when he realized he was in his underwear.

"Are you alright?" the ball asked again as it lifted from the console and floated towards him. "My reading indicate a sudden spike in your biometrics."

"Stay back!" Goten exclaimed as he moved to keep himself out of sight. "Can't you see I'm not decent!"

Stopping, the Interceptors AI's circle of light blinked once in confusion.

"What does decency have to do with this situation?" the AI asked wondering at the new etiquette being presented to her.

"Well, it's just, you're a girl and I'm a guy." Goten began as he peeked over the bed. "And while I may boast to get girls pay more attention to me, this is taking it a little far."

"Then it's of no concern." the AI answered, the circle in its center blinking with every word. "While my voice is that of a female, I am an Artificial Intelligence created to running this ship."

"Oh." Goten replied with a blink. "I guess that's fine, but I would feel better if I could have some clothes."

"Understood." The AI replied and with another blink a compartment opened up in the ceiling, before a green light scanned over Goten and the bed.

As the scanner made its second scan, Goten felt as his body gets engulfed in green energy, that proceed to form around him, creating a skin tight black outfit, with green boots and gloves.

"I don't have any data on your preferences, so I created something along the line of a green lantern uniform."

"Thanks!" the half saiyan replied as he got up from behind the bed and examined his new form fitting black uniform with green boots. "I can't say is really my style, but its definitely better than walking around in my underwear."

"You are welcome." the AI replied. "However, there are some matters that we need to discuss."

"Sure thing beautiful." Goten replied as he winked at the floating hologram. "But first can you tell me were my friend is? You know since I'm here, then Trunks has is probably here too, right?"

"Your friend is the one of those matters we need to speak about." she replied ignoring his compliment. "As he's inside one of the recovery chambers getting refitted for his new arm and leg."

"What!" the dark-haired youth exclaimed as he followed her gaze to a side wall with three round seals on it. Concentrating his Ki senses, he tuned out the world as he felt for Trunk, finding him inside the recovery chamber furthest to the left.

'This can't really be happening.' Goten thought allowed his concentration to waver. 'Trunks couldn't have lost his arm and leg.'

"...he should come out of the chamber within the next few hours." the AI said, drawing Goten back to reality.

"Yeah, thanks." he replied as he shook his head.

"Do you want to see him?"

"NO! I-i mean no, that's alright." he replied his voice betraying his nervousness. "You said he's being treated so..." trailing off, he coughed twice to find his voice again. "Anyway, you wanted to talk to me about something?"

"Yes." she replied and started heading towards the door. "If you would follow, I'll take you to green lantern Rrab. So that we can discuss the matter at hand." she finished as the door opened for her.

Following after her quickly, Goten risk a glance over his shoulder at the chamber his friend is getting treated in, before turning away as the dream came back to him.

"So, what's your name?" Goten asked while stepping out the door after the floating hologram, looking for something to distract him from his own thoughts.

"My name is green lantern Artificial Intelligence 310025001." she replied as she led him to the galley.

"Okay, I'm pretty sure that's not a name. And everybody's gotta have a name."

"Hmm." the AI hummed with some interest. "Do you have any suggestions?"

"How about Bun?" he suggested with a smile.

"No." she replied, her synthesize voice taking on a dead pan tone.

July 23, 2025 7:16 EDT

Floating over the factory planet, dressed in a white cloak with gold trimmings and the kryptonian symbol for the house of EL on its back, that hid everything except his square chin. The galactic emperor, Nikao, over looking the damage that the green lanterns and the blue lantern had done. Looking from left to right, he saw the large gouges that Mogo had created into the least important parts of the factory and smiled fondly.

'Its exactly as it was in the records.' he thought, and turned his head as he felt the red lantern that he had left in charge fly to his side.

"Royalty!" The black ant like alien greeted as he came to a stop beside him, his wings beating furiously as he floated beside Nikao. "I'm sorry to have failed in properly protecting this facility. If it would make any difference, I would gladly offer of my life in compensation."

"That's alright." Nikao replied with a small shake of his head. "This was suppose to happen as it did. If anything, I should congratulate you on a job well done, Nakara."

"Royalty?" Nakara asked wondering if something was wrong.

"Get factory back to working order as soon as possible." he told his loyal servant. "We still have much do."

"At once my queen!" Nakara replied and flew down towards the factory to begin giving orders.

'Everything went according to Aya's files.' he thought, assured of his future's existence.
