Goku had gotten up especially early this morning, his body had been itching for a training session ever since late last night. The full moon was approaching them and it always made him more on edge than normal. It was probably time for him to ask Vegeta to train with him again. He was more likely to say yes the closer it came to the full moon.
Over the years, Goku felt as if the two of them have gotten closer, but Vegeta was just a tough egg to crack.
Every muscle in his body tensed as he heard a noise come from downstairs, he sensed an extra energy signature in the home, it was decently strong, so he wasn't exactly sure who it might be. Quickly pulling on his gi, Goku lowers his energy level and ever so slowly makes his way down the stairs. All of his fears melted away as he heard two young boys trying to whisper somewhere in the kitchen.
"If you make any more noise they'll wake up! Come on let's go, we've got to hurry." Trunks grabbed Goten's wrist and tries to quickly sneak out of the kitchen. Hiding behind the counter,
"Where are you in a hurry to go boys?" Goku says loud enough to make the boys trip over one another as they tried to make it out. Chuckling softly, he shakes his head and watches the two of them. "How about instead of going to cause some trouble, you come and train with me this morning?" The older Saiyan offers. He could see their eyes light up at the thought.
"But we were going to collect the Dragon Balls, mom asked us to for her birthday next month." Trunks pipes up.
"How about we train this morning, then I can help you guys find the Dragon Balls super fast. It won't take any time at all!"
The thought of training with Goku, one of the strongest people in the world, exited the two little Saiyans beyond belief. Goten was practically jumping in place as he looked at Trunks, as if waiting for his answer. "Well.. Okay, as soon as we're done we'll need to get the Dragon Radar from Mom. Someone forgot to grab it on our way out." the purple haired Saiyan says, glaring slightly at Goten.
"I'm sorry! I thought you were going to grab it, so I didn't bother.." The young Saiyan says sheepishly. He wasn't going to hear the end of this for a while. Although it didn't really matter, Goten was more than excited at the chance to train with his dad. "Come on let's go!"
Goku couldn't believe his luck, now he had two little training partners this morning. If the two decided to fuse, that could really give him a nice challenge. "Alright! Let's get out of here before Chichi wakes up." Taking a hold of the two boys, Goku placed two fingers on his forehead and transported the two of them to a clearing near the Son house.
Taking a few moments to stretch, the boys jump up and down before eyeing their opponent. "Whataya think Goten? How should we go about kicking his butt?" Trunks confidently states. He knew that he couldn't beat Goku, but he was at least going to give him a run for his money.
"I don't know, I think we have the best chance if we fuse! That'll show him!"
"You're right, but we don't want to go all out right in the beginning! You take his left side and I'll handle his right…" Trunks says before looking at the older Saiyan, waiting until he gave them a smile and a come at me gesture with his hand. Taking one last look at the mini-Goku next to him, Trunks lunges towards the older Saiyan, Goten following suit.
Even with the two of them coming at him, all Goku had to do was block their punches. They weren't presenting much of a challenge yet. The older Saiyan laughed and watched the two boys. They had only pushed him back an inch or so. "This is fun and all, but if you worked together better, maybe this would be a little easier."
With that, Goku came to action. One hand punched his youngest, sending him into Trunks. Catching the two off guard, the older Saiyan kicked the two of them into a nearby tree, knocking it down. He couldn't help but laugh slightly as he watched the two of them come back up. "Come on boys! You should know better than to not give it your best."
Rubbing the back of his head, Trunks glares in Goku's direction. "He's way too cocky, time to knock him down a few notches.." Quickly turning Super Saiyan, Trunks speeds towards Goku with a new energy. His punches were fast as lightning, but still Goku was only blocking his punches. Goten was quick to join back in the fight, also having turned Super Saiyan.
The two boys were beginning to get frustrated at the fact the older Saiyan wasn't fighting back. It had been nearly five minutes of him just blocking their shots. "Why aren't you fighting back, this isn't very fair! I thought you wanted to train." Trunks
Although his technique was very good, it resembled Vegeta's. Trunks was lacking in power, Goku could feel that there was a lot of hidden energy that the young Saiyan wasn't showing. The same went for his son. "If you give me a reason to fight back, then I will." Goku smirked and watched the two boys reaction. "I can sense you boys are holding back, now come on!"
The older Saiyan sensed the spike in energy, but didn't see the flash of purple disappear behind them. The two boys coordinated a strike, Goten sends a punch into his dad's stomach while he was trying to find Trunks. While Goku was hunched over, Trunks smirked and slams his fists into his back from above him, sending him into a small new crater in the ground.
Completely dusty and disoriented, Goku sits up and shakes the dirt from his hair. Wow, they really did a number on me! Maybe this won't be a wasted session after all! "Good job boys! Now you've got me fired up." He says with a smile before taking to the skies once again. Taking a few seconds to stretch, Goku looks between the two boys and begins to devise a plan. While his mind was racing, the two young Saiyans attacked with the same fervor as before.
Just as Goku was about to knock the two into the ground once again, he had the perfect shot, but a scent assaulted the Saiyans noses that none of them could ignore… not only that, there was an energy close by, which meant that they had probably been spotted. Quickly coming out of the sky, the three Saiyans were on high alert as they looked around the clearing.
Goku was the first to speak. "Hello? Is somebody there?"
"Hello? I'm just a hiker! " Ellery called out as she slowly made her way closer to the orange figure. "I heard all the noise and I came to see…" Words couldn't describe the sight that she came upon as she entered the clearing. There were several holes in the ground, some trees had been knocked down, only adding to the space in the forest. "What was going on…"
"Hey! I've seen you at my house before, You're my moms friend. What are you doing all the way out here?" Trunks pipes up, the two of the boys had already transformed back to normal. Ellery looks over and sees Bulma's son, Trunks with the other two people in orange training gear.
"Uh, well I was just on a hiking trip and I heard all of this… commotion over here." She says with a small smile. "After the second crash, I came to see what was going on. What were you guys doing anyway?"
"Training! What's your name?" Goku looked at the woman in front of him, her scent was calming to him and somewhat familiar. She smells like a Saiyan...Goku wasn't even sure how he knew that, or if it was true. He felt like he was losing his mind because this girl's energy felt so familiar to him, but he had never seen her before.
"My name's Ellery." She says smiling at the tall man in orange. His hair looked nearly as crazy as hers. Training for what exactly? This place looks like a battlefield."
"My name's Goku! This is my son Goten, and you know Trunks. We're martial artists! We train out here because we can get a little carried away sometimes." Goku rubs the back of his head sheepishly as he smiled at the girl before looking at the two boys. "Do you do martial arts as well?" Goku asked, hoping for a possible new training partner.
Goku? As in the only person that was stronger than Vegeta, Goku? No way! "Bulma's talked about you guys before! I've never done martial arts before, but after she's talked about how good you are, I'd love to train with you." Ellery said excitedly. The thought of training with "The Goku" was an opportunity that she couldn't ignore.
Ellery had never thought much about martial arts before. She knew that every year the city held a martial arts tournament, but her parents had told her to stay away from the arena. "Only muscle heads with no life would enter those tournaments." She would always say to her.
"Awesome! Let's get started!"
Where in the hell are those two boys? They were supposed to take the Dragon Radar and get the Dragon Balls. Well I have one Dragon Radar and no boys in the middle of the gods damned afternoon. Bulma paced around her lab, there were an infinite number of things that the boys could be doing. The possibilities were nearly endless when it came to half-Saiyan kids.
She had wracked her brain for the last hour or so, trying to figure out where they could've gone instead of looking for the Dragon Balls. There was one person she could ask, but she wasn't too sure how happy he would be if she interrupted his training. I'm passed the point of caring, he can can for their energy and find him in two seconds..
Running down the hall to the Gravity chamber, Bulma hits the emergency shutdown on the outside of the door. She listened to his groan as the engines whirred to a stop. "This had better be damned good woman.." Vegeta spoke through the speaker.
"I know you hate being interrupted, but Trunks was supposed to take Goten and look for the Dragon Balls early this morning. It's nearly four in the afternoon and they haven't come by for the Dragon Radar, can you do your energy findy thing and go get the two of them? Please?" Bulma pleaded.
Fighting the urge to roll his eyes, Vegeta closed them instead and searched for his son's energy signature. "He's with Goten and Kakarot… I'd guess that when Trunks went to get Goten this morning, they were stopped by that clown and he took them away to train instead." There was also another rising energy he could feel. It was nearly as strong as what he assumed was Kakarot's son. Who in the world is that?
Bulma sighed in relief as soon as she knew Trunks was at least with an adult. "I know that you don't always like to train with Goku, but do you think that you could go trade them places? I really need them to get the Dragon Balls for my birthday next month." She hoped that the thought of training with Goku would be enough to get him to go. It was that time of the month where his training sessions would go well into the night.
"Why can't I just go and gather the Dragon Balls for you? It'll get done much faster and then I don't have to deal with Kakarot." As much as he didn't want to spend time with the other Saiyan, he was extremely curious to find out who that other energy signature belonged to.
"Come on Vegeta! Please just do this for me, it'll do you some good to train with a person instead of those bots in there."
Vegeta didn't want to admit it to the woman, but she was right. The bots were starting to get a little too monotonous for him. It was earlier in the week that Vegeta had realized the pattern the bots had started to repeat and he could remember their movements. Having an actual partner would be nice… but at what cost? My sanity?
"Fine I'll go get the boys, but you owe me for this!" He says before storming out of the gravity chamber and out to the front of their home, flying off in the direction he sensed them from.
