Here with chapter 2 of my story. I know the spelling of the last chapter was a bit weird but I'll try to make it better for you to read and beta-readers will be accepted *wink wink*. Also I've decided to make this a Bra story too as she will be involved too, sooner or later.
PSH
As I walked down the stairs with the robot Giru, I took notice of my surroundings. Bulma had drawn symbols on the walls that made this look like an Egyptian tomb or something. Half of the symbols I could make out as formula's for new technologies and some were just garbage. Giru seemed unnerved and was walking like he had seen this place a million times, which I guess he had since he was created here.
Knowing Bulma there was probably some traps around here to prevent anyone just walking in, if they even managed to figure out the password, so I was a bit wary and I treaded lightly. Giru seemed to notice my uneasiness, and tried to calm me down,"Master Goten, the traps only affect unauthorised beings, so people like you and me are free to enter without worry,".
I was impressed."Bulma created all of this so only a few people could access this place?" I asked the robot.
"Of course, Mrs. Bulma was very secretive," Giru replied.
I guess it was obvious, I even bet before the androids only her and her dad would have had access to the lab.
"Mr. Goten," Giru said, not taking his eyes off the path.
"Yeah,".
"Where is Mrs. Bulma right now," he asked.
I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth, it still hurt to think about it without imagining what Trunks had said about the demon snapping mom's neck then dropping her lifeless body on the floor. That in turn made me remember the look of terror in her face, her lying there dead. "Its none of your business," I replied back ,my voice harsh. That was probably cruel to Giru, but I wasn't in the mood.
Giru got the message. He didn't talk and we walked down the long stairs for a while. Then after a while I felt tired and my legs ached due to all the stairs, I wondered how she did it all the time. I attempted to sit down but then Giru suddenly stopped in front of me, causing me to get back up. He looked left and like back upstairs, then he knocked on the wall. The wall had a dragon curling around a ball which had four stars on it.
I looked at Giru confused. I didn't think there was a way through this one.
"Ok Giru, you're the expert, what now?," I asked him.
The robot looked at me like it was obvious."Like I said previously, this place is has also been redesigned to recognise you and the others,". I still didn't understand how that will make the door open. Then an idea flashed through my head.
I brought my hand to the wall with the symbol of the dragon and its ball, then pressed my palm on it like I was trying to touch the ball. Immediately the dragon's eyes turned red and the ball orange whilst the stars were red like the dragon's eyes. A deep voice came from what seemed like the dragon and spoke.
"Goten, finger-print recognised. Access granted,".
The wall shimmered then disappeared like it was never there and I stood there waiting to see if anything else was going to pop up. Giru as usual, walked ahead into the lab and after a few seconds, so did I.

The size of the room was the first thing that struck me.
The room was as big as the Batcave in batman and filled with as much stuff just like it. At one section of the room, robots and prototypes were strewn across the floor. Some were missing a head or leg and some looked like they had exploded trying to work. Some looked able and could have been used properly. They were placed inside a tube as if they had been ready to be turned on.
On the other side of the room, there was a deep chasm and at the bottom there were rods for nuclear testing. They looked they hadn't been used in a while. Probably for the last few years because I surely would have noticed the energy they gave off.
I followed Giru through the lab. I didn't know were I was going as I was checking the amazing inventions Bulma had created. There were giant capsules to a flying-bus. There was even a rocket in this place. I also noticed notes and ideas Bulma had written around. It was too bad she wouldn't be able to finish all this. Maybe one day I'll continue her legacy.
Giru led me to the back of the lab. There was a door there that unlike the others, it was locked with a massive chain and padlock across the door. Giru stopped in front of the door and turned around.
"Mister Goten," Giru said to me. I looked down at him. This wasn't going to be another test again is it.
"Just call me Goten and yes?" I replied.
"Yes Mister Goten," I sighed."This was the last place Mrs Bulma wanted you to go inside of in this whole lab,".
"Why?" I asked him, really confused. This place looked old, why would Bulma prevent me from here. It must be pretty important.
"Now that Bulma is dead, you now have full access here," Giru said, completely ignoring me. This robot is going to give me a serious headache.
Before I could ask him again, his hand changed to a key shape and he unlocked the door. He then stepped out of the way to let me through."Goten a lot of your questions will be answered in here". The robot pointed inside.
I guess there would give me better answers than Giru so I walked inside. I was confused, my family dead. If Giru said was true then I better have some answers.

The lab looked old and dusty. There were cobwebs in the room but it was surprisingly warm in here. A faint pair of footprints were on the floor and with my saiyan sights, I was able to see it. That meant somehow came here recently. Probably Bulma.
Giru had walked forwards again and taken the lead. He walked to a huge computer with a giant screen. I walked to him and looked at the computer. Unlike the rest of the place it wasn't as dusty, it looked actually freshly cleaned.
It was obvious Giru wanted me to turn it on but I decided to look around just to annoy him, if he could feel that emotion.
To my right there was a giant curtain and on it there was a faint writing on it. It was filled with more cobwebs and dust than the whole room so I guess this must have been Bulma's first project or something. I dusted the curtain and the words became more visible. It said 'P.S.H', written in red. I wondered what it stands for. I pulled the curtain behind and I swear I stood there for what seemed like an hour but was only a few seconds.
Behind the curtains had been two body-sized canisters. One canister was empty and the other held a girl inside, sleeping in a green liquid. The girl was naked and when I had realized that, I quickly turned around and blushed. It was the first time I had seen a girl naked and this girl looked about my age too. I turned around after a while and looked above the girl and at the top of her canister. There was something written there, it said 'Female' and I looked at the empty canister and it said 'Male'. Bulma had been making human clones, that was weird. Even for Bulma. The girl looked alive and judging by the footprints coming in this way, Bulma must have looked after her a lot. But I wondered what happened to 'Male'.
I looked around the room, trying not to look at the sleeping girl, and I saw a table with a laptop. I went over, picked it up and turned it on. The whizz of the machine came on then the screen turned on too. Only one icon came up on the screen. Underneath it, it had a name description 'PSH Diaries'. Curious, I clicked on it with the mouse. I was wondering why this PSH kept popping up and what it meant. Maybe Bulma's serious projects.
The icon was still loading up and whilst waiting, I looked at the girl again. I tried to look away from her 'lady parts' and focus on her face. There was a bit of condensation in front of her and I couldn't see her properly, but I noticed she had blue hair, just like Bulma and pale skin like she hadn't seen the sun. If I could just wipe that condensation of then maybe I could take a glimpse.
The computer had finished loading and there were video diary entries on the screen. I clicked on the on 'number 1'and sat down on the chair, focusing on it.
On the screen, a view of the lab came into focus then the camera shifted and Bulma's face came on. She looked younger and less wrinkles were on her face. Although she had worry lines on her forehead and dark rings hung under her eyes. Her voice then came on, "Ok computer, I've now collected samples of Goku and ChiChi's DNA cells and I'm ready to start Project Saiyan Hybrid," Bulma said. Why would did she want my dad and mom's DNA samples for and Project Saiyan Hybrid?
Before I could do anything else, Bulma turned the camera to the test tube I had seen before, the empty one. "Ok computer, let's do this. Computer activate cloning procedure, fusion Goku and ChiChi cells," Bulma commanded. Bulma had tried to create a clone, the most likely reason was to protect her against the androids and since my dad was the strongest, I guess it was obvious. But where was that clone or...am I that clone. Fear struck in my heart, could I have been a clone for the protection of Bulma. My mom had said that dad had been killed when I was little, why would she lie to me.
On the screen, a bright light flashed in test tube as the the two cells were fused. Bulma stood in the background with her goggles on, chewing on her nails, she was probably anxious that if this may fail and Trunks did too, then all hope was lost.
Bulma spoke again, "Step two. Computer add Gohan warrior DNA sample,". I couldn't see the sample in tube but in the computer Bulma was using, a DNA sample was being injected into the newly fused cells. I had been fused with Gohan's DNA, not bad. "Now step three, Computer, make the cell a fetus,".
This was some weird science but just then a blinding white light came from the tube and for a while all I saw from the screen was light. Then the light died down and as I peered into the screen, Bulma doing the same inside the computer, we saw a new fetus inside.
Bulma jumped and laughed, "Yes finally, I did it. I created a hybrid, do you see computer I did it," she said to the screen giggling. Me on the other had was shocked. I was created like this! I was a test tube baby and I was created as a sort of clone. Maybe that wasn't me, maybe since Trunks had defeated the androids and saved us, then maybe the clone had been put away. But where was it now then.
Video had finished and Bulma had shut it down. I sat back in the chair I was on thinking heavily. Giru had walked in and stood next to me, probably comteplating whether he should speak or not. Judging by him not speaking he decided not to speak. Ok, let's say even if I was the clone 'Male' then who was this 'Female' next to me in this test tube.
Curious I looked at the other entries and I clicked on number two. All it showed was Bulma saying she would use the growth accelarater on the fetus to make it become a man and attack the androids. But she had said Trunks should becoming back today and if he doesn't then she would use it. That was all in the video. I clicked at the third entry and it came up with Bulma at the screen.
She's smiling and looks happy, better than before. "Yes Trunks killed the androids, the city can be rebuilt again. I'm so proud of my son computer, he saved us all, oh my god I can't believe its over," Bulma literally shrieked at the screen. She looked so happy. Then she turned and faced the computer slightly more focused and serious though."I think Project SH has no real purpose now and the clones will be destroyed now. Well it was fun and I actually felt better now I've been in the lab so that's good," she sighed," Computer shut down-".
"Wait Bulma!" A high, female voice came from outside the screen. Bulma looked around, bewildered. Probably thinking how that person got through her defence.
"Bulma its me ChiChi," Mom said walking into view. She also looked younger but still had her hair in a bun and dressed pretty much the same too. It shocked me seeing her and young too. It sort of brought tears to my eyes and I tried not to replay the image of mum's neck snapping in my head."Bulma I want the baby please. He is my son, basically my own flesh and blood. I need him please Bulma,".
Bulma looked at ChiChi,"Bulma the clone was made to kill so it might be dangerous you know," Bulma warned my mom.
"I don't care, when Goku was a little baby he was evil until his grandfather showed him love and care he became the hero will love," mom retorted. My mom had always told me stories of dad and I knew this one already of how he fell from the sky in a pod and his grandfather took care of him. "Please Bulma he's the only family I have left,". Mom had tears in her eyes and a few were starting to fall.
Bulma looked at ChiChi, she had tears in her eyes too. "Oh Chi, it must be so hard losing Goku and Gohan. I lost Vegeta but I still have my darling Trunks. Yes Chi you can keep him,". They made me sound like a dog.
I had accepted that I was the clone but that was besides the point. Why hadn't mom or Bulma or Trunks tell me. I felt a hint of betrayal stab me.
After that Bulma had said in a few months the fetus would be a baby and mom could take care of him and that was pretty much the rest of the video. There were two more videos left and I clicked on the last one trying to skip ahead.
Bulma popped into the screen. This time she looked the same like she did before she died, quite old. That meant that this was a recent video and Bulma had been in her not too long ago. "Computer, hello diary. I can't believe I'm back here again and after all these years. Remember the first project 'Male'? Well he's a big boy now and he's called Goten," I blushed when Bulma referred to me as 'big boy'. Oh dear."Also his birthday is coming up soon too. He's going to be eighteen. Wow its been so long," So I was right it had been recent. "Anyways you remember the other project we started, yeah? 'Female'? Well she's going to be the same age as him too. I'm planning to reveal to Trunks and the family her existence on Goten's birthday as its her B-day too right? And that's exactly what I'm going to do, show everybody her".
Bulma pulled open a curtain and the girl in the tube with the blue hair was still sleeping in the green water. Bulma looked at the girl with what I thought was love. "Yes computer its time for Trunks to see his little sister, Bulla,".
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxX
That was the end of that video. I didn't bother to go back to the one before to see the creation of the girl, Bulla. I leaned away from the computer screen and thought again of the situation. Bulma had created a clone of her to be her daughter, although that would make her full human, sort of. I'm guessing since she was part of this project too she must have had a saiyan DNA, most likely Trunks's dad, Vegeta.
I stood from my chair and walked slowly towards the tube holding the girl. I pushed past Giru, who had been silent all this time, and I stood in front of the tube again. I tried to wipe the face of the screen and some of the condensation came of. I saw Bulla's face a bit better now and I got really close to her, I could see her properly. She had shiny hair that seemed green like the water, she had nice long lashes that floated softly in the water. She had full lips and I bet they would have looked bubblegum pink if it hadn't been in the tube. I blinked and stopped myself, why was I noticing these things.
I was looking around the tube, trying to find a way to get her out, there must have been a switch or something around here, maybe it was voice activated.
I tried that, ordering the computer to release her but nothing happend. I looked over at Giru for help but he said he didn't know. Stupid dumb machine, some assitant you are. "Sir why don't you try asking the computer to remove the water and maybe the lady is in a sleep like mode," Giru said. Maybe not so useless after all.
"Ok let's see then. Computer remove water from tube and deactivate sleep,"I commanded. There was a whirring sound and slowly the water in the tube went down till there was only a few drops on the floor and some more dripping of Bulla's body. Then the sound of gas been released came after and a shower of white smokey gas filled the tube.
I edged closer to the tube, wondering what was next, Giru followed behind slowly.
There was the sound of coughing coming from inside and then a pale hand stuck of the glass. I nearely jumped out of my skin. I flinched backwards though and when I looked back at the tube, I was faced with the big blue eyes of a beautiful girl.
We stared at each other for what seemed like a long time. Her eyes boring into me, those huge, shining, blue eyes. I could have sworn they were darker than Bulma's and looked like precious emaralds.
I caught myself and quickly got my composure back. I closed my mouth which had somehow fallen open and I looked down away from her eyes. When I realized were I was looking, my eyes went wide and I turned away from her completely.
"Porpoui ton visage rogue?," I turned round and saw she was still looking at me and may have asked me that question.
"Exscuse me?,".
"I said 'why is your face red?'" She asked again.
Is it me or did the temperature increase just now. I was so hot that I felt a bit of sweat on my head and on my palms.
"I don't know... I guess I'm blushing?" I reply to her. She looks at me and nods.
"I'm kidding son, my mom told me about all this stuff. She also told me its not right for boys to stare at girls naked," she said seeming cocky and bratty slightly.
I glared at her. "Hey you were staring first and I'm not son," I retort back to her.
She smirks and closes her eyes. "Computer open tube please," she says to the air. The tube door opens with a hissing noise and Bulla steps out, still naked.
I turn my head and put my hands in front of me. "Eww, don't you have a towel or something, your naked," I say to her.
"Oh sorry I didn't realize it," she says sarcastically. I narrow my eyes at her. She really was mean, she sounded definitely bratty and spoilt too.
Before I could reply back to her, a red light came on and a loud siren exploded into the lab, making me put my hands to my ears. Giru, who had still been quiet, started to jump around and shout. Bulla looked down at him acknowledging him for the first time. "Is he yours?" She asks me.
I shake my head. "Nah its my dogs," I try to be like her, sarcastic and all, yup two can play this game. She just looks at me.
"Cool dog," she says to me coolly, making me look dumb. Man I didn't like her.
Giru is still shouting 'breach' and I take this seriously and rush out this section of the lab to the massive cave, sword ready. I didn't get it. How did this person get in the lab without dying going through all those traps Bulma said. I realized I hadn't closed the first door but even if they did, they couldn't pass the stairways. It seemed impossible unless you weren't human.
I shivered when I said that. What an odd thought, how did that get in my head. Before I could say anything else I heard a shrill scream coming from behind me. I knew it was Bulla and I ran straight back. I knew she was a hybrid like me but she wouldn't be able to protect herself, since she hasn't undergone any training. Hopefully Giru had something to help.
I flashed into the room and I was met with the sight of Giru, who looked defused and Bulla on the floor, tied up, gag in her mouth. She had a cool look in her eyes, like nothing I was expecting from here, then I thought I was expecting someone to be here now. Bulla looked at me, I looked closely and I saw it wasn't all cool. She was trying to warn me about something but I had realized too late.
Before I could react, I felt a sharp pain across my back and I stood for a second, frozen, then I fell on my sides. I looked in Bulla's eyes and she had a scared look that somehow made me angry.
I found some strength and willed myself to go super saiyan. I tried to stand and I felt my hair go up then down. I turned around, my back screaming, and faced a figure dressed in a black outfit like a ninja but his head was left open. He had a samurai sword in his hand, not the type I had. I noticed he had little horns on his head and he had a mane of golden locks plus a golden goatee to add. He had a handsome face and a smirk was on his lips deep red lips.
"Who are you?" I asked him.
His smirk seemed to increase. "I'm suprised you can stand boy, normally the poison should have neutalized you completely then killed you," he said not answering my question. I tried to power up but instead I received a sharp pain in my gut.
As if noticing my distress the man spoke. "Are you trying to power up huh boy? Don't bother, you'll only hurt yourself more," the man had a regal sort of accent like he was British. "If you don't mind boy, I'll be taking this girl with me," he said turning to Bulla.
My eyes widened. I couldn't let this sicko take her, she was the only family I had left or something like that. But when I tried to move my arms, it suddenly became heavy and I fell face flat on the cold ground. I tried to stand again but my legs wouldn't listen, they felt like bricks. The man laughed at me, "The poison will make your limbs heavy and you wouldn't me able to move at all in a few seconds," the man walked over and kneeled in front of me. I tried to bite him but he grabbed my jaw. "Stupid child. Do not try this insolence with me foolish boy," he said and punched me in the face. My vision became hazy and blurry and black spots popped into my eyes.
I couldn't hear anything but the man seemed like he was talking to me. As he was saying he turned and walked over to Bulla and picked her up, she looked liked she was screaming. She looked straight at me and she mouthed my name. I tried to turn my head over to her but then a boot was suddenly in my face and everything went black.
