------------------------------
Earth...a planet so small, so insignificant why would anyone care about it? That's what one would think, but then they would be wrong. This insignificant planet is home to one of the weakest race in all of the known galaxies. Constantly, however, this planet is threatened by some of the strongest known tyrants. Then what is keeping this planet from coming under complete control of these tyrants? The answer is simple, yet almost unbelievable: Saiyans. If not for the powerful race of the Saiyans, this planet would have been under the siege of the more powerful races of the universe. This story tells the tale of how the race of the Saiyans once again save the Earth from the evils that threaten it...
------------------------------
"Trunks! Goten! Get up now! You need to get ready for school or you'll be late again!" A woman's voice rang from downstairs, disturbing the peaceful slumber of anyone who happened to still be sleeping. The woman, who had her long black hair up in a bun, was standing at the bottom of the stairs. Tapping her finger impatiently against her yellow, sleeveless one-piece dress, she continued to urge them on. "Get up already or I'll come up there myself!" She was finally greeted by a loud groan, and walked off, feeling that her threat had done its purpose.
Just up the flight of stairs, in a room to the right when one has just come up the stairs, were two boys, moaning about the sudden disturbance. On one bed laid Trunks, a boy with light-purple hair, which was cut in a bowl-cut. Rubbing his eyes in order to get the sleep out of them, he continued grumbling at his predicament. "Just another minute...please." He looked at the clock on the bed stand next to his large bed to learn of the time. "Four o'clock in the morning! What the hell!"
"Hey! What's all the yelling about?" Goten, a boy with messy black hair that he had let slightly grow in length so it was a tad different than it had been four years before, questioned as he rubbed his left eye. He let out a loud yawn before stretching out on the capsule bed that Trunks's mom, Bulma, had set up for him.
"Your mom's waking us up at four in the morning!" Trunks yelled in an enraged tone as he jumped out of his bed and pointed at his glowing clock.
Goten showed an equal amount of surprise, jumping out of the spare bed, and simply uttering, "What!"
"Your mom must have gone crazy over night!" Trunks sneered, hastily straightening up his bed hair.
"Or maybe we did something wrong?" Goten asked peering into the mirror that Trunks was also looking into. He still couldn't grasp why Trunks was so obsessed with fixing his hair.
"Yeah right," Trunks said sarcastically, "putting us in school is already enough punishment for anything we've done 'wrong', isn't it?"
Goten stared down at the floor, thinking of something to say. The words finally came to his mouth, no more than ten seconds later. "Yeah, I guess you're right about that... Hey! Let's go see what's up with my mom waking us up so early."
Trunks needed no further words of encouragement from Goten to convince him to follow along with his friend's idea. The purple haired boy swiftly opened his bedroom door, and the two of them ran down the flight of stairs. They took a sharp right, and ended up in the main part of the house, the gigantic living room, where a couple of robots were dusting the shelves.
"Good morning, master Trunks," one of the robots greeted them as it twisted its head around to see them better.
Trunks looked at the robot, uninterested, and answered, "Sorry, can't talk now, Robo 8000. Goten and I need find out what's wrong with his mom." The robot let out what could be a sigh, and continued with its housework. The two boys continued their 'journey' by heading into the large Capsule Corp. kitchen.
Upon entering the kitchen, they found it to be completely empty; not one person or robot was there. Looking around gave them sight of a huge stack of used dishes that were stacked next to the sink. Trunks growled when his eyes brought him to the empty table where they usually ate, "If they're going to wake us up at four in the morning, then they could at least have made us some breakfast."
The two boys next silently decided to search around the kitchen for any signs of where their parents could be. Goten began checking around various cabinets and drawers, while Trunks made his way to the refrigerator. Once opening the refrigerator, Trunks gapped in amazement at the amount of empty space there was - nothing but milk could be found.
"Great your dad just had to eat all of our food," Trunks complained, giving his best friend, Goten, a deadly glare.
Goten seemed to be unaware of the nasty look Trunks had given him; he just walked to the door in the back of the kitchen, and opened it. When opened, the fresh outside air drifted into the room, and the pale light from the yet-to-be-fully-risen sun dimly lit up the otherwise dark room. Seeing that Goten was heading outside, Trunks quickly followed along, and both of them found that the light in the gravity room Trunks's mother had made for his father many years ago was on. Normally, such a sight wouldn't faze either of them, since Trunks's father, Vegeta, practically lived in the building, but right now they figured that the place would be their best bet for finding what they sought. It was a short run to the building, and in no time the two found themselves at its door. Trunks was the first to reach out and open the door. They were greeted by being immediately blinded by the artificial lighting, and when their eyes had finally gotten used to it, they spotted Goten's mother, Chi-Chi, his father, Goku, Trunks's mother Bulma, and Vegeta.
Trunks stepped into the room, throwing his arm down in anger. "Hey! What's the deal with waking us up at four in the morning?"
Bulma, a woman with shoulder-length bluish-green curled hair, and a pink nightdress was the first to turn around. She was holding her recently born daughter, Bra, securely in her arms. "Well..." Bulma started, though by the uncertainty in her voice, one could tell she wasn't too sure about why they had been woken up either.
"We wanted to give you these!" Goku, the ever-optimistic savior of Earth, exclaimed pulling two shiny earrings out from a blue shirt that was worn under his orange gi.
Those in the room peered at the earrings skeptically, taking in every detail they could. Three small white orbs were directly below the 'hook' that attached the earring to the ear, and below the small white orbs was a much larger orb – the top half was blue, and the bottom half, separated from the top half by a white protrusion resembling Saturn's rings, was golden. "And why would we want these?" Trunks asked, both he and Goten taking an earring a piece. "What're they supposed to do?"
Goku smiled like a child who had just been given some candy, and simply said, "Put them on and see."
Trunks decided to stop questioning the older man, and did as Goku had instructed, putting the earring onto his left ear. Goten followed suit, also putting the earring on his left ear. The entire training room was silent as everyone waited for something to happen, the dull chirping of the birds outside being the only audible thing.
Goku blinked a couple of times in puzzlement before the solution suddenly hit him, "Oh, I guess one earring is supposed to be on the right ear, and the other is supposed to be on the left."
"All right then...Goten you put it on your right ear," Trunks ordered.
Goten didn't hesitate or protest, he simply took the earring off of his left ear and put it on to his right ear. When the earrings still failed to do anything, Goku once again remembered a small detail he had failed to mention.
"Oh! That's right! Now both of you need to look straight into each other's eyes."
"Simple enough," Trunks said shrugging his shoulders.
The blue and gold earrings started to glow white as the two boys looked each other in the eyes. Then an incredible force began to be exerted on Goten and Trunks's bodies, forcing the two to slam into each other. Impact of the two boys caused a massive explosion, the white glow it produced engulfing the entire room.
Chi-Chi and Bulma both grabbed onto their husbands' arms when the strength of the explosion started to force them closer and closer to the training room's wall. The white glow lasted no longer than a few moments, and soon began to clear away, three shadowy figures standing where Goten and Trunks had been forced together. The dust that had accompanied the explosion settled, and Chi-Chi, Bulma, and Vegeta were left in bewilderment after the recognizable figures of Goten, Trunks emerged. However, what bewildered them was the unexpected sight of Gotenks.
"I'm finally back!" Gotenks yelled flexing his muscles, then running his hand through his spiky black and purple hair that stood straight up.
"Hey why aren't we Gotenks?" Goten inquired as he inspected his hands, continuously flipping them up and down.
A wide grin spread across Goku's face upon finding that the earrings had worked. "Because you used the Fusion Earrings! But... it's kind of complicated to explain what they do," Goku admitted.
Chi-Chi composed herself, using her hands to wipe off the dust that had found its way onto her clothes. Her gaze shifted from the three young half-Saiyans standing side by side to her full-blooded Saiyan husband, Goku. "Do tell; I'm sure we're all curious."
Bulma shook her head in agreement to what Chi-Chi had said while rocking baby Bra back in forth in her arms – Bra had amazingly remained quiet throughout the entire ordeal. "Yes, I'd like to know just what it is they do, too."
"Who cares what they do?" Vegeta abruptly snarled. "The earrings are useless if you ask me – now we just have another worthless child to watch over."
Gotenks's eyes slanted in frustration at his 'father' Vegeta, but remained calm and collected when retorting, "Really now? I guess you should classify yourself as 'worthless' as well."
Bulma and Chi-Chi both tried to stifle a laugh while Vegeta fumed in extreme frustration, raising his fist in Gotenks's direction. "You idiot! Who do you think you're talking to? You owe your allegiance to the Prince of all Saiyans!"
"More like the Prince of all nimrods," Gotenks mockingly said to his father. "Compared to me, you're the weakling. I could easily beat you and claim the title of Prince whenever I wanted."
"I'll make you eat those words, brat!" Vegeta quickly ascended to the Super Saiyan level, a form where his jet-black spiky hair turned golden yellow, along with his black eyes changing to a bluish-green color. With his fists outstretched, he hurried forward in Gotenks's direction.
"Vegeta, stop!" Goku's stern voice echoed off the room's walls while he jumped in between Gotenks and Vegeta, skillfully grabbing Vegeta's fist before it could strike Gotenks.
"Get out of my way, Kakarrot!" Vegeta ordered, gritting his teeth as well as adding more force to his punch.
Despite the amount of pressure Vegeta was exerting, Goku refused to allow Vegeta to move any further. "No, Vegeta, you can't hurt him!" He yelled, though sweating from Vegeta's strength.
"Yes, Prince Dumbass, listen to what he's got to say!" Gotenks grinned sardonically at Vegeta, snorting with satisfaction.
"Gotenks! You stop this nonsense, too!" Chi-Chi ordered. Her intense glare was enough to take down any enemy. "Stop mocking your father!"
Bulma stepped up to her husband and placed her free hand soothingly on his shoulder. "Vegeta cool down and we'll try to get everything straightened out."
Figuring that enraging his wife would definitely not be in his best interest, Vegeta lowered his power level until he was no longer a Super Saiyan. "Fine, but don't let that damned kid near me or I'll blow him to pieces," Vegeta growled, walking over to a far corner away from everyone else.
"Okay like I was trying to explain before," Goku sighed once everything had settled down. "These earrings make an entire new being. You see when two beings put the earrings on, the earrings not only let the two people who put them on stay as their own beings, but they also create a being of the two fused together." He quickly took in everyone's face, taking particular notice in Goten's baffled expression. "Do you understand?"
"No." Goten admitted, shifting his gaze to the floor in order to avoid everyone else's eyes.
Goku smiled at his youngest son, realizing just how similar he and Goten were. "To make it simple, the earrings let a fused being be their own being, while the two people who normally do the fusion still get to be their own beings as well."
"I guess that makes since," Trunks responded, knowing that Goten now understood by the sudden glow in his eyes. "But why did you make us use the earrings?"
"Is there a new threat that only we can defeat?" Gotenks's eyes gleamed with eagerness once his Saiyan love for fighting started to burn inside him.
"Well..." Goku started, trying his best not to look directly into Chi-Chi's eyes.
Chi-Chi, however, knew exactly where Goku was going, and immediately disproved. "Oh no you don't!" Chi-Chi screamed, stomping up to Goku and jerking his head so he was facing her. "I'm not letting you make my children fight some evil beings from who knows where again!"
"Bu-but Chi-Chi! They're needed so we can fight the upcoming threat, and keep the Earth safe from the evils who want to harm it," Goku objected.
"NO! NO! NO! NO! " Chi-Chi cried clutching her arms as if she felt a chill running up her spine. "The last time you said that you needed Goten to save the Earth, he and Trunks ended up getting absorbed by Majin Buu! I WON'T HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN!"
Placing both hands on his wife's shoulders, Goku further explained, hoping to calm her down. "Chi-Chi, be reasonable! The upcoming threats aren't going to eat our children. The threats are a group of Saiyans, who've somehow survived the massacre of Freeza, and they're heading towards Earth right as we speak!"
"More of those monsters!" She sobbed, pulling away from Goku, and shoving her face into her hands. "Why can't we be a normal family and live a peaceful life? Why are there always villains trying to tear this family apart!"
"Because we're the protectors of the world!" Gotenks blurted in.
"Yeah, Mom!" Goten shouted, jumping in the air with more energy than he had had when he first woke up in the morning. "Besides living a normal life would be boring!"
"You're right..." Chichi replied, though she didn't seem very convinced. "I guess I'll have to live my life with a husband who can't even get a job or make any money for us."
"Hey! That's not true! I have the job as the world's protector!" Goku exclaimed proudly, beaming with an unseen radiance.
Chi-Chi's eyes went from sweet and sincere to disgust and disbelief in a matter of a second. "Job! Job! Is that what you call saving the world from evil aliens? And even if it is your 'job', then why does Hercule always get the applause, glory, and money when he doesn't even do any of the work!"
Goku began to scratch his head, trying to think of a way to get out of his current situation, when nothing came, he could only laugh out loud in a goofy manner. "Well, that's something I really haven't been able to work out yet."
"Mom, Dad, can you please stop bickering?" Goten asked while watching the two through annoyed, slanted eyes. "It's kind of ridiculous."
"Goten's right," Bulma agreed, gaining the attention of both Goku and Chi-Chi when Goten had not, "we should stop the fighting before any more conflicts come between us."
Vegeta, meanwhile, was watching the scene with a dissatisfied air about him. To be perfectly blunt, he wanted every last one of them to be out of HIS training room at that exact moment; he was not willing to tolerate any more intrusion on his training time. "Well, if you're done talking about nonsense then I'll get back to my training," Vegeta snarled, gritting his teeth in frustration.
Bulma seemed unaware of the annoyance that was held in his voice, and just casually waved her free hand in his direction, still trying to calm Chi-Chi down. "Whatever, just don't blow a hole through the door again," Bulma ordered. "The last time you did I got sued by our neighbors to fix their house."
"Sure," Vegeta agreed sarcastically. He stood in the gravity room for a while, impatiently tapping his foot as he awaited the departure of everyone but himself. When no one showed signs of leaving, he completely lost control of his temper. "What the hell are all you idiots waiting for! I can't train with you in here! GET OUT NOW!"
Bulma's head snapped right back to face Vegeta, her lip twitching in utter defiance. "Don't be so rude!" Her high-pitched scream was like daggers to anyone who heard it, especially to those with sensitive Saiyan hearing.
"Shut up, woman, and get out of here NOW!" Holding his ears from the agony of her yelling, Vegeta still managed to maintain his dignified position while yelling back at her.
"Fine!" Bulma shouted while stomping over to the training room's door. "We'll get out of your way, Prince Dumbass! Just don't expect me to build another training and gravity room when you destroy this one!"
Vegeta snarled as Goku, Chi-Chi, Goten, Trunks, and Gotenks made their way out of the training room in utter shock, surprised at what had just occurred between the two. Bulma, who had remained next to the door while the rest walked out, gave Vegeta a deathly stare, a stare that she only gave during her rare fits of rage, walked out of the room, and slammed the door behind her.
By now, a few veins could be seen popping out of Bulma's head while she clenched her fist. "I SWEAR I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!"
"Hehe, that's Vegeta for you!" Goku laughed slapping the back of his head with his left hand in an attempt to keep Bulma from exploding anymore than she already had.
Chi-Chi shrugged her shoulders in disbelief, agreeing with what Goku had to say. "Yes, he's just Vegeta. He only seems to be able to express himself like a child at times..."
"Mom! Dad ate all the food!" Goten began to jump up and down, waving his arms around to gain the attention of everyone, something that worked to his advantage.
That was exactly what Bulma needed to get her mind off of her fight with Vegeta. In no time, Bulma had completely forgotten about Vegeta, and was now pacing around Goku, along with Chi-Chi, scorning him about his habit of eating everything in sight. "Goku you ate all of our food!"
Goku's face went blank for a moment, unable to answer while the two women stalked him like a couple of vultures around a dead animal. "Well...uh... I was kind of hungry last night so I just had a little snack." Nothing could save him now, his lie was unraveled the minute he accidentally said 'little'.
"Little?" Gotenks inquired, using his memories from Trunks to recall how empty the refrigerator was. "You call leaving nothing but milk little?"
"And like you wouldn't do the same thing, too?" Trunks asked turning attention to Gotenks while Chi-Chi and Bulma continued their scolding of the defenseless Goku.
Gotenks snorted, obviously amused by such a notion. "Not me! Hah! I'm Gotenks, the greatest, and most flawless Saiyan ever created! I'd never do such a thing like that!" Trunks glared at Gotenks through half-slanted eyes, noticing the slight increase in size Gotenks's nose had gotten upon bragging about himself; he was less than impressed by what his fusion had said.
"Riiiight," Trunks's sarcastic voice seemed to be unnoticed by Gotenks who was still praising himself. "Anyway, what are we supposed to eat now that there's no food?"
Chi-Chi folded her arms across her chest, not giving much thought to what they were to do. "I guess you'll just have to eat breakfast at school." Her suggestion was an undesired one, the three young Saiyans spitting their tongue out in disgust."What about me?" Goku whined. He started to hold his grumbling stomach in an attempt to gain sympathy from the two women.
"Well, since you ate all of our food, I say we make you wait until dinner to eat!" Bulma threatened, wagging her finger disapprovingly at Goku.
"Bu-but I'll be skin and bones by then!" Goku whimpered.
"Then you can either go to school with Goten and Trunks to eat, or you can go shopping with us." Goku could tell by his wife's stern voice that it was one or the other: there was no escape.
Goku, however, was smarter than he let on; he knew which was the less evil of the two, and quickly made his choice. "I don't even think I would want to eat their school's food."
"Hey! You're lucky! We have to eat school food until we're in high school!" Goten complained causing a sudden silence to fall upon the group.
Bulma sighed and looked down at her watch, "Well, now that that's settled, I think it's time you guys started getting ready for school." Afterwards she smiled down at baby Bra who was still sleeping despite the immense amount of yelling that had happened in the past half hour.
"And what about me?" Gotenks tapped his foot on the ground to act as if he was irritated, but in reality was overjoyed that he had no way of going to school. "You expect me to just walk into the school when I've never been there before? You really think they'd just let me do that?" The grin on his face grew in length; he was without a doubt certain that there was no way to ruin his plan.
"Hmm..." Chi-Chi rested her head on a hand to help her think of a solution. "That does pose as a problem..."
"Don't worry - I've got it covered." Bulma interposed a moment later. "Capsule Corporation's donated millions to the school in recent times, I'm sure they'll have no problem in letting you in the school at my suggestion."
Gotenks moaned, and Goten and Trunks snickered in satisfaction. Chi-Chi seemed to be unaware of the small scheme Gotenks had tried to pull off, and set her strict gaze onto the three boys. "Well, now that everything FINALLY seems to be settled, how about you three go inside and get ready for school?"
Goten, Trunks, and Gotenks could only stare back at her in a way that clearly read, "Get real". Chi-Chi seemed to completely comprehend what their expressions meant, and she showed it when her face turned a bright red. "What are you still standing here for! I didn't suggest that you get ready for school, I TOLD you to get ready for school!"
The three Saiyans' eyes grew wide in fright; only Chi-Chi and Bulma could manage to scare those who were thousands of times stronger than them. "Yes, ma'am!" Trunks stammered, taking no hesitation in running into the house, tripping on his way.
"We'll be on our way!" Gotenks responded mere seconds after Trunks, following behind the light-purple haired boy at a tremendous speed.
Goten eyed his surroundings nervously, noticing that he was the only one of the three still standing there. "Umm... sayonara?" Scrambling off towards the house, Goten was gone from sight in the blink of an eye to Chi-Chi's satisfaction.
"I wish you came over here more often, Chi-Chi," Bulma stated. "Trunks seems to listen to you more than he listens to me."
------------------------------
"I can't wait for you to go home, Goten," Trunks grumbled, spitting out toothpaste once he had finished brushing his teeth.
"Why?" Goten questioned, sticking his head through the door that connected Trunks's room with his bathroom. He had changed clothing so that he was now wearing a black t-shirt with the words 'Son Goten' written across it in white along with blue jeans. Trunks had on a red t-shirt with black button up shirt over it, and blue jeans as pants. Both wore a badge on their shirt that signified they went to Orange Star Middle School.
"Because your mom has some kind of evil power," Trunks answered, walking into his bedroom.
"Hey! It's not that she's evil, she's just strict about school." Goten looked down at the ground, seemingly not believing what he had just said himself.
Trunks noticed the sudden depression that had fallen on Goten, and decided to cheer him up. "Well, look at it this way: She was much stricter on Gohan than she is on you."
"Yeah, that would stink, I probably would have never been created," Gotenks added; he was still wearing the standard fusion clothing, which were composed of a short dark blue vest and white baggy pants. "And you would be a nerd just like Gohan, Goten!"
Goten let out an excited laugh, playfully punching the air in a make believe battle. "And then Majin Buu would have killed everyone!"
"Yep, we're the real reason that Majin Buu was defeated!" Trunks agreed while he tied the laces of his white shoes. Both Goten and Gotenks took a seat next to Trunks on his bed. "If we could've stayed fused for at least another ten minutes, then Majin Buu would've been killed, and Gohan and Vegetto would have been made completely worthless!"
"Goten! Gotenks! Trunks! It's time to leave for school!" Chi-Chi's voice interrupted the small talk they had started, and brought them regrettably back to their thoughts of the day ahead – school.
They made a quick look at the time – it was 6:13. Normally kids would've complained and protested at being made to go to school at such an hour. They, however, knew that the time was needed in order for them to get from the West Capital to Orange Star Middle School in Satan City, and still have time to eat breakfast. Jumping up from their seated positions on the bed, the three raced down the stairs. Just Goten and Trunks grabbed their backpacks, but all three took money for food from Chi-Chi, hurried out the door, and finally burst into a light blue transparent ki, flying off towards school.
