The next day Goku could be seen laughing full-heartedly when his youngest son came downstairs for breakfast sporting a black eye. "What happened? Did you get on Trunk's bad side?" He asked between fits of laughter. Goten scowled.

"Way to rub it in dad…" he said. Goku stopped laughing immediately.

"Whoa! Seriously? But you two are the best of friends! What happened??" He asked again. Goten sighed and sat down while Chichi rushed back in the kitchen after dashing for the medical supplies when she saw her son and went to treat him. Goten let his mother tend to him as he explained the story.

"Well, it was our turn to fight right and I was really excited because I was going to get to show Trunks what you taught me but something seemed to be distracting him… I thought he was faking it and attacked him. He must have thought I was a real enemy or something, I never felt him hit me that hard before… He hit me so hard I fell out of the ring!! I didn't see him after that, he must have flown off." Goten finished.

Goku burrowed his eyebrows thoughtfully. "Hmm, I see. That's very unlike Trunks. Just give him time son, I'm sure he'll come by and talk to you." Goku encouraged with a reassuring smile. Goten smiled back and nodded. He got up and went to his room, deciding to catch up in his studies instead of be seen out with the embarrassing black eye.

Goku was just about to finish his mountain of food when a knock was heard at the door. "Ahh! That must be Trunks!" He said, confident that his prediction would happen. He opened the door and was surprised to see King-Kai standing there. "King-Kai! HI! It's great to see you again!! What brings you here??" Goku asked with a wide, toothy grin.

"We have a problem Goku." The short, blue man said. Goku's once again immediately sobered up.

"How can I help?" he asked. King-Kai frowned and began to explain the danger approaching.

"Goku… you, your friends, and your family are about to face an enemy far more deadly than Majin Buu!" He said bluntly. Goku blinked at him in incredulous surprise and promptly fell over.

"WHAT!" He said in amazement. "You're kidding! Someone stronger than Buu??" Goku asked. King-Kai gave him a tolerant look.

"Goku! Like I said before, this is not the time to get excited! This is serious! This… this… beast was crossed by your grandfather… I thought everyone knew this story?" King-Kai said. Goku's eyes widened.

"My grandfather??" He asked. King-Kai nodded.

"Yes. A long time ago a fierce Saiyan warrior, your grandfather, led a team to a planet of Varmydiens, a powerful and ancient race of warriors who could resurrect the enemies of their enemies and send them against them, then take the power of the ones who died by their hands or the hands of the ones who the Varmydiens were after if the resurrected ones died…

Initially weak the race grew too strong for the Saiyans until they used their ultimate transformation and crushed the planet and all of their inhabitants… or so they thought. Goku… their leader survived… I felt his power before but it was fleeting, now I fear he may be back and seeking revenge!" King-Kai finished. Goku frowned and nodded in understanding.

"Alright. So what can we expect?" He asked. King-Kai thought for a moment.

"The Varmydiens have the ability to see their enemies' worst enemy and send it against them after reviving them. It doesn't matter how far away the Varmydien is from its enemy… it's sort of like telepathy except they can only see he enemy of the enemy. Chances are he will revive the worst foe you have ever face… such a Buu…" He explained. Goku, lowered his head in thought and closed his eyes.

King-Kai waited impatiently for his decision. Goku's eyes snapped back open and gave him a determined smile. "Then we must train." He announced finally. King-Kai nodded.

"Yes… I will return to you and inform you if I feel him on the move. Make use of the Time Chamber." He suggested and left. Goku announced that he was going to visit their friends to Chichi and left. First stop, Piccolo.

End A/N: The reason this chapter is so short is because I split it… Don't worry; they won't all be like that.
