I do not own ANYTHING! Dragon Ball Z is owned by Akira Toriyama and this Version of AF is owned by Mrqball.
I own nothing written here, not even a letter!
Gohan: This is Pixel's first Series, so try to be kind. Constructive criticism is much appreciated.

*The novelized version of this story isn't completely canon to mrqball80's version of AF, though it is very similar.
Space, Age 796
The space pod flew through the asteroid belt, red glass window shining. A large meteor obstructed its path, but the pod flew through it, effectively destroying the asteroid and not slowing down at the same time. In a few minutes, the pod had sped past Mars, heading towards its final destination: Planet Earth.

Mt Paotzu's foothills
Trunks tapped his foot impatiently, a trait that he had inherited from his father, King Vegeta. With a scowl, another inherited trait, he crossed his arms and looked up into the partly cloudy sky, muttering to himself. He was wearing an outfit very similar to his Mirai counterpart, a man he had idolized since childhood. A slightly strong breeze blew over the foothills, and Trunks mentally cursed himself for not bringing a jacket that had actual sleeves.
"C'mon, Goten," the 31-year-old said under his breath. "You're late for training…again!"
Trunks suddenly looked up to the East. A few moments later, a man came into sight, flying over the hills that surrounded the area Trunks was in. His hair was pushed over to the right side of his head, spiking upwards, too. As he came upon Trunks' position, the man dropped from the sky and landed a few meters in front of him. Trunks, arms still crossed, regarded his outfit: a nice orange polo and slacks.
"Hey, Goten," Trunks said to the man. "Where's your fighting outfit? You are going to train with me, aren't you?"
Goten gave him an apologetic smile. Trunks frowned, figuring that something was most likely going on outside of his field of knowledge.
"That's what I came here to tell you… I won't be training with you today." Goten answered, giving his life-long friend the Son family smile. Trunks groaned.
"What?! Why?" Trunks glared at Goten, who looked back without remorse. The two adults had been friends for far too long to be intimidated by each other. "Your reason better be good, Goten. This is the fifth time this month that you've ditched training!"
"Well," Goten began putting his hand behind his head in a Goku-like manner. "You see, there's this girl and we've been talking for a good while now."
Trunks' glare intensified. "So, what's that got to do with our training?"
Goten chuckled, albeit nervously, a little bit, still scratching his head. "Well you see, she asked me out on a date and we haven't been on one yet, so I agreed to go out with her."
Trunks unfolded his arms in shock. "A DATE?! You changed your plans so you can go out on a date? What is it with you and girls these days?"
Another laugh escaped Goten's lips. "You know me, I just like to chill and date girls. Well, I can't stick around for long. I have to get going so that I won't be late." Goten started to hover a few feet off the ground, preparing for flight. "Women don't like that. We'll train next time, alright?"
Trunks grumbled, but consented. "Okay then, next time, Goten."
"See you around, Trunks!" Goten replied, and at that, flew off at top speed towards East City, leaving Trunks alone again.
Trunks scowled. "Darn it! Now I don't have anyone to train with, unless I go to father…darn it!"

Mountains outside of East City
The space pod whizzed down to the jagged mountains, fire surrounding the spaceship's hull. Crashing through top of a particularly tall mountain, it collided with the earth, creating a huge crater in the dirt. The citizens of East City felt the tremors in the ground, the blast was so great. After a few moments of panic, however, they returned to their daily lives, assuming the vibration was just a minor earthquake.
As the dust settled, lightning appeared, crackling around the space pod. In an instant, it was vaporized. A man with white hair and two black stripes became visible. He had a green gi, and a large neon green aura surrounded him as he let out a brief scream, letting lose a portion of his power.
"AHH…" the man sighed. "Finally! I'm out of that piece of junk… MAN! It feels so good just to stand again!"
The mysterious man floated several meters off the dirt. He started to talk to himself again. "So this is Earth," he said. "This is where father spent his life…" The man raised his fist menacingly. With an evil laugh, he continued: "Earth, prepare to be destroyed by the son of Goku, XICOR!"
Xicor looked to the Southwest with a smirk. "Someone is heading this way…HAH! He must be pitifully weak if that's his true power! I think I'll go introduce myself to this person."
Suddenly, Xicor vanished, leaving the mountains.

Wasteland
Goten flew through the sky, an excited smile lighting his face. I regret having to leave Trunks like that, he thought to himself. I'm just not into fighting like I was when I was little. Mom's been right on at least one thing in my life… I should get married!
The 30-year-old glanced at his wristwatch. "OH MAN," he cried, panicking. "I need to hurry up and get to the movie theater! I can't be late or she'll dump me. Boy, I don't want that, I need to hurry!"
As he flew, though, Xicor appeared before him. Goten stopped in surprise.
"Hmph… so, you're Goten?" Xicor questioned.
"Who the heck are you?!" Goten retorted, for though he was still confused, he could tell that this guy was evil. "How did you know my name?"
Xicor let out peal of laughter. "I don't think that matters, for you won't be alive much longer…DIE!" A green chi blast formed on his hand and was shot at Goten. The man didn't have any time to react, and was enveloped in the dangerous energy.
"Ack!" Goten cried, loosing consciousness as he fell to the wasteland below.

Sky
Trunks flew through a cloud, muttering insults to Goten and his father under his breath. Suddenly, he stopped and looked eastward.
"What's going on back there?" He questioned to himself. "A humongous power reading just came out of nowhere! I know that can't be Goten's power level. I need to go back there, and quickly! I hope he's alright…"
As he prepared to go off into flight again, he stopped for the second time. A dot appeared on the horizon, quickly developing into his father's form. Vegeta was wearing his usual maroon tank top and gray cargo pants.
"What's going on over there?" He questioned his son, stopping.
Trunks blinked. "I don't know, but I think that whoever that guy is just attacked Goten!"
"Then what we waiting for?" Vegeta shouted with his usual smirk. "I'll make this man wish that he had never come to this planet!"
"Right!" Trunks replied, and the father/son duo set off together.

Me: So, what did you guys think? Love it? Hate it? Don't give a crap? Let me know in the reviews! I would like to get one before posting my next chappy!
Gohan: Still, I don't see why you had to do this at this ungodly hour of the night!
Me: *Sticks out tongue* Hey, It's not my fault that I can't sleep! Oh, and before I forget, If you want to see the original video, just search Dragon Ball AF Episode 1. It's the 4-hour version, because I think Mrqball's version got taken down, but King X KoK's compilation is still up, thank goodness!
