Two months have passed since Goku was turned into a child.

Uub has spent these past few months at Capsule Corporation getting to know the Brief family as he waited patiently for the spaceship to be completed. Bulma had invited him into their home out of the kindness of her heart and a recommendation from Bra.

Uub's relationship with Bra was still a little rocky. He guessed he must of really left a bad impression on her during their brief first encounter. She said she had high hopes for him prior to meeting him, but Uub had no clue why.

He wasn't all that great or special. While he was undoubtedly the strongest human alive that wasn't really saying much when you consider the fact that all the ones who previously held the title had long since given up on fighting over a decade ago. Her being a half-saiyan he was sure she could surpass him if she ever took her training seriously. Saiyans were freaks when it came to their rapid growth.

Thinking heavily about it, Uub eventually came to the conclusion that it had to be about his connection to Goku.

It was the only notable thing he's ever done after all.

But that still felt... incomplete for some reason. She couldn't have had high expectations for him just because he was trained by Goku, it's not like that was uncommon amongst their group of peers.

Eventually his curiosity got the better off him and he went and asked Pan about it. Coincedently this was also their first ever conversation.

DBTL

"So, what do you want?" Pan asked impatiently. She was currently running late for her next training session with Piccolo and she didn't much appreciate being held up by uub of all people.

"Uhmm.. Well.. That is.." Uub mumbled out nervously. He reached up and rubbed his his golden earring as he tried to formulate a proper sentence in his head. His interactions with those of the fairer sex was at exactly zero and for some reason talking to one around his age made his natural nervousness even worse.

It was times like these that made him wish he was raised by someone other Goku. Someone who actually knew about things that weren't fighting related.

Pan started tapping her foot impatiently, a glare in her eyes. She crossed her arms and growled out "well? Are you going to say anything?"

Uub took a deep breath a deep breath to try and calm his nerves and then finally spoke up. "Me and your friend Bra got off to a.. Rocky start."

"Yeah, Bra is like that. She's pretty abrasive, it's why she doesn't have any other friends besides me. Is that it?" Pan rushed out hoping that uub would take a hint and leave her alone.

"Well, no," Uub reached up and scratched the back off his head. "I don't really care if she likes me or not. I just wanted to know why she had such high expectations for me?" It really bothered him. Why would someone he never met have any form of expectations for him?

"Is that all?" Pan questioned with an upturned eyebrow. "Isn't it obvious? It's because Grandpa chose you."

A look of frustration appeared on Uub's face. "That can't be it! It's just way to simple of a reason."

Pan looked him in the eyes with an annoyed look before sighing. "Fine! It's not just him choosing you, it's also the circumstances surrounding him choosing you," Pan explained.

"Huh?" Uub interrupted with a tilted head.

Pan had to admit with herself that he didn't look half bad and with his face tilted in confusion he actually looked cute. In the puppy way and not the attractive older boy way. To bad he annoyed her so much.

"Would you just let me finish!" Pan yelled.

Uub put both hands before himself and waved them in an attempt at calming her down.

Seeing the panicked expression on his face Pan calmed down and once again sighed. She also palmed her forehead in attempt to fight of her growing headache. "Sorry. I just have places to be and you're holding me up. Just let me finish, okay?"

Uub nodded while rubbing his earring once again. Pan wondered what that was about.

She then took a deep breath as she dived back into her explanation. "Did you know me and Bra were in the stands watching your fight with Grandpa?"

Uub shook his head no. But know that he thought about it he does remember a few brief moments of a young girl wearing an orange gi.

"Well we were and, let me tell ya, neither of us expected a human kid to put up a fight like you did against Grandpa, let alone Grandpa leaving to train you!" Pan explained. She sighed as she knew the next part would be especially embarrassing to admit but if would get him to leave her alone then she would gladly reveal it. "Truth is you amazed us. A kid barely older than us matching my Grandpa in combat and being taken off to train with him. For a few years me and Bra idolised you. We would imagine you sowing as this grand hero when we met again with long flowing hair and dashingly good looks.

It was just a strange childhood crush that I grew out of, but Bra never really did. I don't really know why, she never told me." A beeping noise emanated from a watch on Pan's wrist. "Oh crap, now I really am late!" She rushed past Uub and flew out the doors of Capsule Corporation. Hopefully Piccolo would understand why she was late and take it easy on her.

Who was she kidding? She was screwed and she knew it.

"Wait.. Wait!" Uub called out as she pushed past him, but ultimately did nothing to stop her as she flew away. "What's a crush?" He mumbled the question to himself.

He still didn't know what that was months later. Pan had refused to elaborate on it and Bra was avoiding him even more vehemently than before. Honestly he didn't understand girls at all.

Why did he get the sudden feeling that he never would?

Anyways, he spent most of his break hanging out with Goku. It turns out that Goku, even as a kid, still loved fighting and eating. Who knew?

Uub found himself bonding with the young child an entirely different way than he did with his adult version. Where his relationship with the older Goku was primarily father and son, at least in Uub's mind, his relationship with kid Goku was more like brothers.

Whenever Goku could pry himself away from his future wife arms he would come over to capsule corp and spar with Uub, Uub would give him pointers to help him better manage his strengths. Pointers that, ironically enough Goku had shown Uub in the first place.

All in all his most important moment during these past few months was the very beginning. When he and Bra convinced the older generation to allow them to be the one to hunt the dragon balls.

DBTL

"Absolutely not!" A loud voice reached Uub's ears as he wandered back into the building. He recognized it to be Chi-Chi, the wife of his master.

AS he stepped into room the tension hit him like one of his masters ki blasts. Bra stood in the center of the room with the adults in the sitting around her. All of the adults except Chi-Chi who was standing and had a furious look on her face.

Goku was sitting down looking back and forth between the two his confused expression matched Uub's current feelings.

"There's no way we would send a thirteen year old into space! Not even if it's to bring back Goku!" Chi-Chi continued and suddenly Uub knew what Bra had said that caused this atmosphere to form. She must have told them of her plans to retrieve the dragon balls.

"While I don't particularly agree with the way she worded it I do agree with the sentiment. don't you think you're a bit too young to young, Bra?" Bulma said.

As the other's poured in their disapproval Bra stood there, completely ignoring them. Her eyes were completely focused on her her father, who had his arms crossed and eyes closed.

"I don't quite remember asking any of you for approval," she said with a cold edge to her voice. "I, in fact, don't need any approval from any of you. I've already decided on my course of action and I'm just giving you proper fore warning.

And as for being 'too young' Are all of you serious? My father has been conquering planets since he could walk. My mother scoured the entire planet before she was two decades old, Goku was even younger. And I seem to recall hearing stories of an eleven year old being forced to kill a humanoid bug with an ego the size of the moon. To young?" She scoffed, "What a joke and a bad one at that."

Everyone in the room was left speechless. Heck even Uub was speechless and she wasn't even talking to him.

"And do you honestly think you're strong enough to handle all the beings out there in the galaxy by yourself?" Vegeta finally spoke up. "You're strong, Bra, but not nearly as strong as even Pan and the various races out there have had three decades to grow and develop without fear of the saiyans and Frieza. I wouldn't be surprised if some of those races have even surpassed Him in terms of strength."

"I have already guessed that," Bra interrupted. "And I've already procured the help of someone who should be more than strong enough to serve as my bodyguard." She glanced out of the corner of her eye at Uub, who started to run his earring now that the attention was on him.

"Him?" Vegeta questioned to which Bra responded by simply nodding. "Fine, but he'll have to pass a test first. He'll have to beat me if you want to search for the dragon balls." With that Vegeta stood and proceeded to walk out of the room. As he started to walk pass Uub he stopped and looked him the eye. "Prove to me that you are worthy of calling yourself Goku's apprentice and you'll be allowed to leave this planet." He started to continue his walk. "I don't know when I'll be back, but pray that I haven't mastered the third super saiyan stage by then."

And with that he left the house to go kai knows where.

DBTL

Since then Uub had been incredibly nervous, more so than usual at least. He had no clue when Vegeta would return, no one did. Apparently the guy had a habit of running of to train, usually off planet. How? No one really knew.

He didn't leave in any ships that is for sure.

Uub admitted that he didn't do much in the way of training during these two months. Honestly he didn't that any amount of training would help. If his current skills weren't good enough then there was no way a few months of training would give him the edge over Vegeta.

From what he knew of the guy he was always a fierce fighter who always gave Goku a run for his money. He would have to go all out if he had any hopes of beating him.

But back to the present. Currently he was heading over to the location where the ship he knew Bra and the Capsule Corp was busy making was at. From what he has seen of it, it was far too large to be built directly at the Corp, so instead they had a location specifically brought out to build it there.

He was heading there because Bra had sent him a message, delivered through Bulma, to meet her there. It was the first time she had attempted to contact him since his conversation with her months ago.

He was flying there now and he assumed that she wanted to tell him about the ship's completion. It had been two months afterall.

As he touched down at the sight his eyes were consumed with a ten story tall tent that covered up the construction.

"Uub," a voice called for his attention. He quickly recognized it as Bra, who's face was buried in a book strangely titled 'A Game Of Thrones', who was walking towards him. "So, you've made it," She said in the detached manner that Uub was still getting used to.

"U-uhh, yeah I guess," Uub replied.

"Good. Follow me." She quickly turned around back towards the oversized tent and entered it with Uub following along. As he entered he got his first look at what appeared to be the completed ship and stared in awe of it. During these last few months he had seen images of the ship Goku had used to travel to a planet named Namek.

The ship before him was similar in shape only. It was easily four times bigger than the one used by Goku and where that was black and white, this one was red and gold with small bits of black here and there. The symbol for capsule corp was in the center off it with a drawing of Bra's goggles nestled on top of the logo.

The code: CCSTS-003 was along the side of it with the words Grand Nimbus next to it.

"Whoa~" Uub stretched out. "It's amazing."

If Uub wasn't busy being in awe of the ship he might have noticed the smile of pride appear briefly on Bra's face, but alas, it was gone too soon.

"Of course it is. This is the culmination of all the tech that the Capsule Corporation has ever produced. Nothing quite compares to it in this world, and I bet any other world either. This ship would have probably bankrupted all of Capsule Corp to make if the world government didn't pay for it itself," Bra quickly explained.

"Huh? How did you get that to happen?" Uub questioned. He didn't know much about how governments worked, bu last he checked they didn't fund private companies venture into space.

"Simple. Hercule Satan owed me and my family more than a few favors. And all he had to do was whisper a few words in the right ears and make a few grand speeches about the wonders of space to the populace and we were given a blank check," Bra finished with a hint of pride creeping into her voice.

"Huh," Uub mumbled out. He supposed he should have actually watched the news, but he still had no clue about how to operate a tv.

"Since you'll be travelling with me you must know a few things about this ship," Bra started. "Follow me."

Uub nodded his his head and started following her.

"First off, you need to know why this ship is so big. It's because the ship has several floors meant for different purposes," Bra said. "One is for ship control, another is a kitchen, another is for storage, and another is for living space. There's even a training room." Bra leaped into the air at flew to the top of the ship. Uub quickly followed after her.

"But that's not what you need to see," Bra continued. As she and Uub landed at the top of the ship Uub noticed a strange black circular dot about as wide as a person is tall. Brawalke over to it, kneeled down and touched the and uub felt her focus ki into it.

It glowed a bright red color before disappearing, leaving what appeared to be an entrance.

"The ship is designed specifically with ki in mind." Bra said as she leaped into the ship, Uub quickly following. "I'd rather not allow this vehicle to be taken by alien pirates, so with the help of Dende I've learned how to combine tech with ki, similar to the methods used by the namekians," Bra finished.

Uub was know staring in awe of her. "Y-you learned how to do that in two months!?"

Bra snapped her book closed and turned to look at him. "I learned how in about a day." She lifted her hand and let out a pulse off ki and the entire room lit up in response. Thousands of lights danced across a board of buttons and monitors before him. He had no clue what any of this did. The walls were, to know surprise, red and floors gold. In the center of the room, just a short ways off from where he was standing was a podium with a black glass ball resting atop it.

Uub was sure that if his jaw dropped this hard again it's fall off.

"Just.. How smart are you..?"

Bra smirked and this time, Uub saw. He saw the way her eyes lit up. He saw how confident her posture was when she wasn't slouching over a book. He saw how genuinely happy she looked to be complemented. He saw all of this in the instant she allowed him to.

For some strange reason, his cheeks heated up.

"Smart enough." Was her short reply. Filled with more emotion than anything else he'd ever heard from her. Filled with pride that she managed to accomplish all of this. That all of her sleepless nights slaving away making sure everything was perfect was worth it. Pride that she, with the help of several others, had made the single most advanced piece of tech this side of the galaxy.

Who said she didn't take after her father and mother?

And with that she turned her head and approached the pedestal. "This is the control of the ship. If one pours a certain amount of ki into this the ship will take of. The ki you put, the faster it will you're doin that a coating of aura will coat the ship, just like old Namekian ships, and protect it from all outside threats." Bra finished.

Uub nodded along dumbly, not having any clue of what to say.

"The ship is powered purely by ki, so we don't have to worry about getting any fuel." Bra turned and started walking over to a wall that was on the opposite side of the monitors. She rested her hand on the wall and it pulled back to to reveal a small circular room. "This is the elevator. It's used to go to the separate floors in the ship."

"Huh," Uub mumbled out. He had no clue what an elevator was.

Before anything else could be said the roof above peeled open the same way it did when Bra touched it and a figure leaped down into the ship. Uub quickly recognized it to be Pan and she seemed to instantly recognize him as well. Uub timidly waved his hand in greeting and Pan simply scoffed and walked over to Bra.

"Hey Bra, you called?" Pan said with a wide smile to her friend. Bra responded with lifting her book back up to her face. "You could at least look at me..." Pan deadpanned.

"That isn't required to have a conversation with you, so I'd rather not."

Both Uub and Pan looked at her with confused expressions upon their faces.

"That was a joke."

"Ohhh." Pan and Uub said in unison.

"Hmph." Bra said, clearly annoyed they didn't find her joke funny.

"You're always so prideful about the weirdest of things, Bra," Pan said with a sigh. "Anyway, why'd you call me hear?"

Bra actually lifted her head and smiled deviously. "I have a plan. A plan that I need both of your help to accomplish."

DBTL

The day had finally arrived.

Three weeks after the completion of the Grand Nimbus Vegeta returned from his training and had informed Uub that they would fight immediately. Fortunately Bulma scolded Vegeta for returning and immediately getting ready for a another fight instead of spending time with his wife and kids.

So Uub was given one last day to prepare for the inevitable battle and he was currently preparing himself for the match by using image training.

And getting his ass kicked.

Again and again and again.

Even in his own head he couldn't picture himself landing a solid hit on Vegeta.

The man was one of the strongest beings to ever step foot in the galaxy and Uub was just.. Uub. He had never once been able to beat Goku in a spar and know all of a sudden he was supposed to beat Vegeta? This was crazy!

He literally had a better chance of shooting the wings off every fly within a square mile of his current location than he did at beating Vegeta.

"Ughh.. It's no use!" Uub growled while rubbing his head in frustration. He collapsed down onto his back with his arms stretched out and stared at the full moon.

"Giving up already? I thought we already talked about this." Said a voice Uub automatically recognized.

He sat up crossed legged and turned to watch as Bra approached. "Do you need another pep talk? How disappointing." Bra, strangely enough, didn't have any book in her hands. Instead, she had her hands behind her back.

Uub laughed nervously while scratching behind his head. "Sorry.."

Bra stared at him for a beat before sighing. She then walked over to him and sat down next to him. "You're really disappointing, but that's my fault. I apologise."

"Huh?" Now Uub was really confused.

Bra looked at him out of the corner of her eye before turning her gaze back up at the moon. "As Pan told you I looked up to you. I built an unrealistic image in my head of and I was disappointed when you didn't meet my expectations and for that, I'm sorry."

Uub stared at her for a second before chuckling and resting his head on his arms. "All's forgiven. Besides, I am pretty disappointing, aren't I?" He laughed again and Bra after a moment laughed along with him.

After the laughter died down the two stared at the moon once again.

"You know, it'll be a long time before we see can see the full moon again," Bra mused.

Uub looked down at the grass below him before mumbling out. "That's if I could beat Vegeta, which I doubt I can. After all all I'm just human and when has a human ever beat one of you saiyans? I don't know why you even bet on me."

Bra looked at him before raing her nose to the sky. "Hmph, it's not like I ever bet on a dissapointment like you."

Uub felt like he was punched by Goku.

"Is what you expect me to say, right?"

Okay now Uub was just confused and it must have shown on his face since Bra decided to elaborate.

"I'm not some heiress who looks down on those she calls friend, nor will I ever call you disappointing again." She looked at with a calm expression on her face. "I've already apologized haven't I? So why do you still expect me to look down on you?"

"B-because! There's no way i can defeat your father! You'd have to be an idiot to think I can win!" Uub snapped.

Bra didn't immediately respond. Instead she turned her head down and sighed. "Well I guess I'm an idiot than."

Uub's planned response immediately died in his throat. Instead all he can managed out was a gurgled up "Huh?"

"You heard me. I fully expect you to triumph over my father," Bra said while her eyes were closed.

"B-but didn't you just say that you weren't going to hold unrealistic expectations for me!?" Uub yelled. He couldn't understand this girl no matter how hard he tried.

"In my mind it is in no way unrealistic to imagine you triumphing over my father. Based off of what you told me of your training with Goku I fully expect you to overcome my father. It won't be easy but you'll manage."

Uub simply stared at her. Stared and stared and stared. What else could he possibly do in response to such words? "Do you... Really believe? Do you really believe in me?" Uub whispered after a long stretch.

"Of course. I always say what I mean, no matter what," Bra said while pushing her glasses further up her face.

Uub stared at her for a while again before smiling. "Thank you. I really appreciate that."

"No problem."

Uub stared at moon once again before chuckling as a thought popped into his head.

"Hmm? What is it?" Bra questioned.

"I just thought about it and this really will be the last time we will see the moon for a while."

At this Bra lowered her and mumbled something that Uub couldn't quite hear.

"Huh? What was that?" Uub questioned.

Bra sighed and raised her voice "I said there's a good chance that we will never see a full moon again. I talked a big game in front of my parents, but my father is right. We don't know what's out there or how much of a threat it could be."

Uub looked at nervously before scratching the back off his head. An idea then popped into his head and he stood up. Bra looked up at him questionly.

"You said you believe I can beat your father, right?"

Bra nodded with a confused expression.

"Then how about this. Believe in me a bit more and believe that I can bring you back. For some reason I feel that if you of all people believes in me than I could accomplish whatever I set out to do." Uub raised a fist and clenched it.

"If you believe that I could beat Vegeta than I'll do it! If you believe that I can show you the full moon again then I'll do it." Uub stretched his hand hand for Bra to grab. "So, how bout it? Willing to be a bit more of an idiot?" Uub smiled widely.

Bra stared in awe of someone for only the second time in her life. With the moon draped behind him and his kind welcoming smile and his outstretched hand she had to admit that he looked more heroic than anything her mind could conjure up.

A warm smile made it's way across her face as she raised a hand to grasp his.

"You really aren't.. Disappointing." she whispered so quietly that it barely reached her own ears.

And so a pact was made. A pact that will pull the two through the challenge to come.

A promise of seeing the moon once again.

DBTL

The time had come.

Uub's greatest challenge yet stood opposite of him.

Vegeta, in all his glory, stood with crossed arms and a glare in his eyes.

Vegeta had picked the location for this battle out and, by extension, had revealed where he had been going to train all of this time.

They were on the planet of the supreme kai's. A desolate planet that the only thing Uub knew about was that Goku's greatest battle had taken place here. Goku had never elaborated on who the fight was against. He just said that he needed a whole lot of help to overcome the challenge.

Apparently the Supreme Kai had allowed Vegeta to train here in peace as a thank you for his involvement in the previous battles that took place here.

Currently only the brief family were here to watch the fight.

"Are you done stalling yet?" Vegeta's voice interrupted Uub's musings.

"I-i'm not stalling!" Uub replied, embarrassed to have been caught daydreaming. The place just brought out a sense of... remembrance in him. He didn't quite know how to describe it.

"Then prepare yourself. I have no plans on holding back." With that said Vegeta slipped into fighting stance before immediately gunning towards Uub.

{PLAY : The Formidable Warrior,The Saiyan}

His speed was incredible, but Uub easily saw it coming.

He dodged the punch thrown at with the barest minimum of effort and as Vegeta pulled his arm back Uub nailed in the stomach with a knee, then grabbed his head and planted his other knee into his face.

Vegeta was sent flying from the force and Uub didn't let up.

Uub rocketed after him at vast speeds, faster than Vegeta could react in his base form, and planted his fist into his stomach before kicking him the back of the head. The force caused Vegeta to stop his acceleration and instead be forced in the other direction.

"I'm not done yet!" Uub said as he fired an energy valley at the body of Vegeta. He figured that he should put Vegeta down before he entered any of his super saiyan states.

Unfortunately, he couldn't as Vegeta powered up and blew away the smoke cloud that had gathered around from the blast. Vegeta let out a yell as blasted towards.

In his surprise Uub didn't do anything to protect himself and Vegeta took full advantage of that. He landed many major punches straight into uub's gut causing to gasp for breath.

Vegeta went for a Kick to head to end the rush, but Uub grabbed the and responded by punching Vegeta full force in the face. Still holding onto Vegeta's leg, Uub used it to pull Vegeta to him and delivered another punch to the face. He pulled the leg towards him again, but Vegeta hand with a ki blast greeted him instead.

Firing the blast directly into Uub's face caused him to let go of Vegeta's leg. Taking a few steps back, Vegeta fired forward again and delivered an uppercut to the still dazed Uub.

This snapped Uub from his daze and he responded by kicking Vegeta on the side of his head.

The force was so great that a shock wave went through the area and Vegeta briefly stumbled as his mind teetered on the edge of consciousness.

Uub took advantage and grabbed Vegeta by the arm and gathering ki in his other hand. Returning the favor from earlier. Uub fired the pink blast directly into Vegeta's face, sending the man flying back again.

Uub took this second to take a breath instead of rushing towards him again.

{End Song.}

"Wow, he really is keeping up with dad," Trunks said in amazement.

"More than just keeping up, he's giving his run for his money," Bulma replied.

Bra smiled behind the book she was pretending to to read. "Of course. If I didn't believe he could do this much than I would have a different way to get to space."

Trunks smiled down at her, almost pityingly. "While this is all great the real test should be beginning soon."

The smile on Bra's face disappeared as she watched her father climb to his feet. Saying that he appeared to be angry was a severe understatement.

"Alright you little runt," Vegeta growled while whipping blood of his mouth. "I hope you're nice and warmed up, because from now on you won't be landing a single hit on me."

Uub smiled with a confidence he didn't feel. "From what I hear from hear from Goku it's usually those who bark the the loudest that have the weakest bite."

A cocky smile made it's way onto Vegeta's face. "So the little runt does have a spine, huh?" Vegeta raised a hand and crunched it into a fist. "I'm going to enjoy turning it to dust." As he did that he opened his hand to reveal dirt which then blew away in the wind.

"Give it your best shot!" With that Uub yelled as powered up to his utmost limit.

"Oh believe me," Vegeta said as he got ready to power up to his fullest. "I intend to." WIth that his energy skyrocketed. His aura ebbed and flowed before rocketing off him as lightning started to spark across Vegeta.

With that, the battle recommenced.

{PLAY; Battle of Omega}

Vegeta and Uub charged in syncwith each other. Pink and gold auras trailing of each other as the two's first met.

The force of the two's punch caused an even larger shock wave than he earlier to kick up in the area. The ground beneath to crumble underneath them and all around them.

The force managed to push Bra and Bulma back as they struggled to keep from being pushed away. It got to the point that Trunks had to keep his hold on his mother as he himself struggled to hold on.

Vegeta and Uub continued to pour ki into their fists as neither allowed themselves to budge. They both let out a yell as their energy caused a large explosion to cover to each other.

Uub burst forth from the explosion first and flew straight into the air. He locked down and scouted around for any sight of Vegeta, but didn't notice him into it was to late as Vegeta appeared behind him and hammered him back towards the ground.

Vegeta then flew at top speed at Uub to deliver a kick to the back, but Uub righted himself in time and turned to block it with forearm. He then immediately responded. With a kick of his own that Vegeta blocked.

Uub went in with a punch that Vegeta ducked under, sped behind, and fired a hit Uub. Uub turned, but only met a fist to the fist.

Not shaken, Uub thrusted up his knee towards Vegeta's stomach, but Vegeta caught. A smirk appeared on Vegeta's face before he flung Uub around by the leg he know had a grip on before letting go.

As he was sent flying he turned his body in Vegeta's direction and fired a ki blast at him.

Vegeta grabbed it out of the air as flew towards Uub and crushed it in his hands.

Uub blocked the punch that was thrown at him by Vegeta and responded by snapping his leg up to kick Vegeta in his side. He followed up by uppercutting him.

Vegeta didn't seem at all fazed however and responded with a fierce rush. Uub couldn't respond as many punches and kicks landed on his.

But Uub wasn't willing to give up and expelled his ki all around him, forcing Vegeta to back up from him.

"Phoenix Driver!" Uub called out as he thruted his towards the still blown back Vegeta.

Vegeta righted himself in the air and watched as the pink energy came memories flashed across his mind as he remembered his last battle on this planet. "Tch! Final-!" Vegeta lifted a single arm in the arm as white energy began to form on it. "SHINE!" Vegeta pushed his hand forward and allowed the blast to race off to meet Uub's own.

As the two meet the biggest shockwave yet burst through the planet.

The ground beneath the two in flight felt the force full frontal and started to tear apart from it.

The beams struggled for a short while, but it was clear which one was the stronger of the two.

The Final Shine pushed forward straight towards Uub. Uub did all he could to keep it back and screamed at the top of his lungs. But, alas, there was nothing he could do as the blast pushed him back down to planet below and exploded in a glorious light.

The explosion spread out far and wide.

Wide enough that Trunks had to grab Bulma and Bra and fly far from the scene.

{SONG END.}

"This is insane! Is he really trying to kill him!" Trunks yelled over the explosion.

"Uub will be fine." Bra said with unshaken confidence as she watched her book burn up in the blast.

"How can you be so sure?" Bulma questioned. She had never seen her daughter act like this before.

Bra didn't reply immediately. Instead she just looked straight at the blast. "Because...

As the blast died down nothing but rubble existed as far as the eye could.

Vegeta was still panting heavily. It took a lot of energy out of him to not only produce a blast of that magnitude, but also keep control over it so that it didn't destroy the planet. It was something he had to learn if he wanted to train on this planet indefinitely.

"So *Pant Pant* that's it, huh?" Vegeta gasped out.

Uub slowly rose to his feet, beaten and battered. His clothes were in tatters and and blood dripped from various places on his body. He could barely stand and he knew this fight was almost over. He felt his eyes start to drift off to unconsciousness. He had no clue how he was still standing.

He mind felt... groggy. He knew he wouldn't be able to stay awake. Even now he could feel his eyes closing.

"... He promised!" Bra's voice ranged through the air and reached Uub's

"That's right!" Uub's eyes snapped back open!

"So you still have some life left in you," Vegeta aid as he glided back down to earth still in his super saiyan state. "I'd suggest you quit. You've been heavily wounded and your strength has been cut in half. You could barely keep up with me before, now you would stand no chance."

"I.. I can't give up yet... not yet!" So what if he was weaker than before!? He still had one last ace up his sleeve even if he hadn't actually mastered it yet.

-Flashback-

"You can use that?" Bra questioned as she looked up from her book at Uub, who was casually flying through the air. They were both inside the Grand Nimbus.

"Yeah! Goku taught me all of his techniques!" Uub replied excitedly... before immediately deflating. "Or at least tried to.."

"Huh?" Bra said with a tilt of her head. "What does that mean?"

Uub reached up and touched his earring before gliding back down to the floor. "Well... Let's just say that their are... Problems."

"Please!" Bra uncharacteristically yelled. "Please use it against the my father!"

Uub could only stare in shock.

-Flashback-

"Hmm? So you still have some life left? Fine then." Vegeta pointed two fingers at Uub and focused ki into it. "This is all it will take to bring you down."

Uub had to use. His master had strictly banned him from using it in a fight, but his master wasn't here anymore, was he?

He gathered the last of his inner strength and let it explode.

"KAIO-KEN X3!"

{PLAY: Dragon Soul Guitar Rock}

"What!?" Vegeta yelled as Uub's aura burst with red energy.

Uub's feet gripped the ground as he gathered his strength to push himself forward. He did so with with an incredible amount of force. The ground underneath him lifted into the sky do to the amount of pressure.

Catching Vegeta completely by surprise, Uub buried his fist into the man's stomach. The force lifted far into the air. Uub charged right at him, but this time was prepared and met his charge head on.

The aura were all that could be seen by even Trunks eyes as the flew all around doing battle, neither gaining a true edge.

The two punched kicked and fired ki blasts at a blistering pace moving faster than either ever had previously.

Uub kicked at Vegeta who blocked it and punched Uub away with great force, but Uub knew his body wouldn't be able to continue this much longer, so he didn't let up and was back upon Vegeta in an instance.

It was only Vegeta's experience that allowed him to keep up. He knew enough about the kaio-ken to know that Uub wouldn't be able to keep this up for much longer.

But Uub was still the faster and stronger of the two at the moment.

So it came down to a battle of endurance.

Whose body would give up first? That was the question on the mind of everyone present.

Uub overtook Vegeta and flew up high into the sky.

He had one last attack saved for moment just like.

He focused his ki into his two arms and allowed his aura to coil around his arms. It soon took shape in the form of two dragons coiled his arms with the heads replacing the fists.

Uub let out a roar reminiscent of a dragon and blasted towards Vegeta with the last of his energy. Vegeta tried to move out of the way, but his body was to beaten up to move fast enough. With no other choice Vegeta raised his arms to guard against the incoming attack.

"DRAGON'S !" Uub yelled as his left fest crashed onto Vegeta's guard, blasting it open and leaving him wide. "FISTS!" Uub finished as he threw his right dragon fist straight into Vegeta's gut sending him flying towards the ground at several times the speed of sound.

kaio-ken gave out just then and Uub himself fell straight to the ground, completely unconscious. But not before Vegeta did, who was currently lying unconscious in a large crater.

THe battle had been decided and Uub was the victor.

{SONG END.}

"Off me woman! I'm fine the brat's more injured than I am."

"Oh knock it off! You've broken most of your ribs and you were touch and go for a while there. Who knows what would have happened if we didn't have a senzu bean or two.

"Fine! Just hurry it up already."

It was quiet for a while and Uub felt himself drift back to consciousness.

"Mother, what's wrong with him? The senzu healed him yet he still hasn't woken up."

"I don't know. Goku never reacted this way when he used the kaio-ken."

And once again he was unconscious.

"Vegeta, do you you think it has something to do with..?"

"I don't know and I don't care."

"Well do you think we should tell him?"

"No. Kakarot took him in so it's Kakarot's duty to tell him what he is."

"I still think we should tell him. Afterall..."

Uub could once again feel his consciousness waning,

"He isn't exactly human."

Uub's eyes snapped open as he sat up in a rush. He took several deep breath as his scrambled mind gave some focus. 'What was that?' Uub tried hard to remember what he heard, but he couldn't hold unto it.

"Uub? Are you alright?" Bra's voice cut through his confusion.

"Huh?" Uub said as he looked around him. He noticed that he appeared to be in something similar to a hospital. To his left Bra sat in a chair and had a concerned look on her face. "Bra? WHat's going on? Where am I?"

Bra looked down at the book that was in her hand and then closed it. She shifted left and right and didn't meet his eyes. "I suppose I owe you another apology.." Bra said in a low voice.

"Huh….?" Uub said with a confused tilt of his head. He had no clue what was going on.

Bra slowly lifted her head and finally met her eyes with trepidation being seen in them. "When you told me you could use the kaio-ken I urged you to use it to beat my father. I didn't heed your warning about what could happen to you. And because you've been in a coma for the last four days, despite giving you a senzu bean."

Uub starred in with an even more confused expression before turning and scratching the back of his own head. "Honestly, it's not that big of a deal. I made the choice to use kaio-ken and I suffered the consequences. Simple as that." Uub knew what he was doing when he used it. The last time he used it before Goku banned him from using it had him in a coma for a month.

If he didn't find it so important to beat Vegeta he wouldn't have used it.

Speaking of..

"What happened to Vegeta?" Uub questioned. Dragon fists was his strongest attack and that was the first time he had used it on someone in combat. He had never even used it Goku. He hoped he didn't hurt him to badly in what was supposed to be a spar.

"Dad? He's fine. Your last attack hurt him badly, but we had a few senzu saved a gave him one before we gave you one," Bra explained.

"Oh, that's good." Uub didn't really like the guy, but he didn't want to permanently damage him. The two fell into amicable silence before a look of remembrance crossed Bra's face.

"I just remembered. The new dragon radar has been finished has been finished. Thanks to Dende it should be able to track the dragon balls even in there stone state." It wasn't hard hard at all to to make when in comparison to the Grand Nimbus. In fact she had spent most of the month making sure everything aboard the ship was in tip top shape. It would suck if they had to make a crash landing because they were missing a screw.

"So that means?" Uub questioned.

Bra smiled slightly before nodding. "Everything involving the ship is now complete. Departure is already be prepared and we will beheading out in a few days now that you're awake."

Uub smile back and then started chuckling at the idea of it all. In a weeks time they'll be leaving behind the only planet they ever knew and would be heading into the great unknown. The craziness of it all was funny to the two.

DBTL

The time had finally come.

All the final preparations had been made for the departure.

The food storage, clothing replacements, and all other necessities had been stocked completely.

Currently Bra was saying her goodbyes to her family.

"I doubt this excursion will take longer than a year. It really isn't a big deal mother." Bra tried calming her mother down.

"Still, you're my daughter. You can't tell me not to be worried about you." Bulma said before hugging her. "I'll always be worried about you."

Bra sighed before hugging her mother back. "I'll be fine, mother. Trust me."

Bulma sighed as well before looking up and glancing around me. "Where's Pan? Shouldn't she be here?"

Bra didn't meet her mother's eyes and shrugged her shoulders. "She said she had something important to do right now. We said goodbye last night."

"Okay.." Bulma said nervously before letting go of her daughter. She kissed her daughter on the forehead beforehand."Be safe out there, all right?"

Bra nodded her head and then turned away. She sighed and looked back at her family one last time before smiling and waving. It wasn't easy to leave her family behind but she knew that this was for the best. The dragon balls were a necessity and she was the only one who could keep the Grand Nimbus in top shape.

This was her duty and she'd sacrifice anything to achieve it.

With that she leaped up into the air flew into the Grand Nimbus.

Uub was standing in the center of the room right next to the control orb.

"You ready?" Uub questioned as he saw her land in.

Bra simply smiled and walked over to the orb.

"Always."

She placed her hand atop the circle and it changed from black, to red and the ship started powering up.

The ship gained energy before finally lifting of into the sky with aura trailing of of it.

"They're they go," Bulma said to her husband, who responded by huffing and walking away. Bulma took no mind to this and watched as the ship flew off. "Still, it's weird that Pan didn't want to be here."

"It's weird that you wanted her to be here," Uub said as he and Bra made their way down the elevator to the storage room.

"She's my best friend and while I'm sure you'll be great company there are things that I can't talk to you about," Bra replied with her nose in a book.

"Like what? I'm sure if you gave me a chance I'd understand. I'm not stupid." Clueless? Sure, but he was raised by Goku and Goku alone.

"Leave it alone." She replied with her face being buried even deeper into the book in her hands.

Uub shrugged his shoulders as the elevator opened up once more. "Okay, if you're sure." He said as they walked to the storage space.

"Trust me, I'm entirely sure."

"Uhm, guys?" The voice of Pan interrupted their bickering.

"Hmm?" they said in unison as they turned their attention to where they knew Pan to be.

"We have a bit of a problem." Pan said as she walked over to them and they could see what the problem was clearly.

Hanging off of Pan's neck was the young Goku.

"Hey guys!" He called out.

"Oh crap baskets." Both Uub and Bra said.
