CHAPTER 3

ANTROZOUS

FEATURED MUSIC: ANTROZOUS

Trunks looked at Antrozous suspiciously as the dark figure asked for help. He then realised he was completely healed from his fight with his father. Trunks stood up to his full height and eyed Antrozous. "Why should I help you?" Trunks asked.

"Now, now boy." Antrozous replied. "I see you are your father's son, no manners"

"I'm sorry but I'm not in the mood right now!" Trunks retaliated angrily.

"I am aware of your troubles, but there are worse yet to come if you don't help me." Antrozous replied.

Trunks lifted an eyebrow.

"There is a fighter with incredible power on his way, he will not be defeated easily and it will take more than Vegeta, Gohan, Goten and yourself to stop." Antrozous explained. "He is the son of the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly and is far more formidable than his father. I would stop him but I can't. That's why I need your help."

"So, we need to train huh?" Trunks asked.

"Undoubtedly so." Antrozous replied with a nod.

Trunks nodded, turned his back, and flew off quicker than Antrozous could stop him; all he wanted was Goten right now. He could feel Goten's energy signal, it felt relaxed so he went after it.

Goten sat back by the lake, his hair and clothes blowing in the wind as he stroked the wild cat that had came to greet him. He felt relaxed now and reflected on what had happened with Trunks. He began to think about his feelings for Trunks, were they mutual? He wasn't sure, or to be put better, he didn't think he wanted them to be. Yet, when Trunks wasn't around, he wanted him to be around, he had always enjoyed his company; he was like a brother to him. Goten continued to stroke the wild cat in his arms, the cat purring to the continuous strokes. The wind blew a lot more strongly now, but it didn't bother Goten much, he was relaxed. Suddenly the cat jumped from his arms with a loud shriek as someone landed behind Goten. Goten didn't bother turning round, he knew who it was… Trunks.

Trunks came closer and sat down beside Goten as he stared out at the lake. He didn't talk, nor look at Goten as he sat there, enjoying the peace of being with Goten. "So, is there anything to say?" Goten asked, breaking the silence.

"I don't know." Trunks replied, "Is there?"

"Trunks, I don't want to be around you right now" Goten said, "I need time to think."

Trunks stayed silent for a long time, the wind blowing against his lavender hair, making it fall in front of his eyes slightly. His belt moving from his right leg to his left as it blew in the wind. Goten's spiky hair hardly moved in the wind except from a loose strand. Trunks gaped for a while and then flew off quickly, heading back home, leaving Goten to simmer.

Chi-Chi was washing the dishes and looking out the window, Gohan and Videl were round at the Son house and were talking when they all felt a cold, dark, breeze sweep past them. Gohan and Videl instantly became silent and looked around, so did Chi-Chi.

There was a loud smash as Chi-Chi dropped a plate in shock as she saw a dark figure standing on the ceiling. The figure chuckled lightly at the woman's surprise to his appearance. Videl looked up at him with spite, feeling that he was evil. Gohan however, was perfectly calm. "You could knock," he said, "Antrozous"

Videl and Chi-Chi looked at him. "You know him?" They both said in unison.

Gohan nodded with a smile as Antrozous teleported and was now standing on the floor. "I see you remember me after all these years, huh Gohan?" He asked.

"Indeed I have" Gohan replied. "What brings you here?"

"I was wondering where your father might be," Antrozous said, scanning the house telepathically. "I don't sense him here"

"He's not here," Gohan said solemnly. "He died fighting Spinta."

Antrozous' eyes widened. "That isn't good!"

"Why? What's wrong?" Gohan asked anxiously.

Antrozous then told him about the Son of Broly coming to Earth.

Vegeta landed at Capsule Corp, still bleeding as Bulma rushed up to him. "Vegeta, what happened?" she asked.

"Our whelp!" He said sternly. "He disobeyed me. I was bringing him back and he disappeared."

"And you just left him?" Bulma asked. "You didn't try to find him?"

"Couldn't be bothered." Vegeta said.

Bulma looked like she was going to explode, as strong as he was, Vegeta knew he wouldn't survive. He knew this even more so when Bulma pulled out her own version of Chi-Chi's Frying Pan Of Doom.

From outside all you could hear were crashed and bangs as Bulma attacked the saiyan prince with all her might.

"Now, I must leave and find your little brother." Antrozous said floating into the air.

Gohan nodded in agreement and let him leave. Thus, Antrozous teleported and left.

"So, what was all that about?" Videl asked.

"Remember Broly? The big guy with all the muscles." Gohan asked.

"Hey! I do." Videl replied

"Well, his son is coming to Earth." Gohan said simply.

"What! He had a son??" Videl cried in surprise.

Gohan nodded and looked outside. "We need to prepare."

Goten was still sitting by the lake, deep in thought when a leaf fell from a tree causing him to look up and see Antrozous hanging upside down. "Who are you!" Goten exclaimed.

"I am Antrozous, a friend of your brother's." Antrozous said, the words vibrating in Goten's chest instead of his ears.

"Well, go find him then." Goten said, looking away.

"No, I have came for you and won't leave here without you." Antrozous said. "So I would stop worrying about Trunks Briefs"

That did it, Goten snapped and turned super saiyan and charged at Antrozous. Goten went for a punch but Antrozous just faded away and appeared where Goten had been sitting. "You shouldn't challenge me boy." He said.

Goten spun round and fired an energy blast at Antrozous, who again faded into thin air and reappeared somewhere else. Goten charged for him and tried punching and kicking him but all that happened was his fists and feet when straight through Antrozous. He tried to hit him faster and harder but still to no effect. "Are you even in front of me!" Goten yelled.

"No." Was the reply that sounded in his head.

"Then where are you!" He yelled.

"Here" Antrozous said, he was behind Goten and took the opportunity to knock the demi-saiyan to the ground.

Goten rebounded of the ground and flew up to Antrozous who vanished again and knocked him into the lake. Goten flew out in fury. "Now I'm all wet!"

"Let me sort that for you" Antrozous said and a blaze of fire rushed towards Goten, drying him off but not harming him.

Suddenly Antrozous flew into the ground as Trunks kicked him from behind. "How dare you harm Goten" He shouted in rage and transformed into a super saiyan. Antrozous appeared above Trunks who charged, with Goten in tow, towards Antrozous. Antrozous tried to vanish and fade to avoid all the attacks but it was proving very difficult. The two young saiyans were extremely powerful together and could use combo attacks that even Antrozous had difficulty with. But now was not the time to complain about them, the time was for him to survive the onslaught of two angry demi-saiyans.

Antrozous teleported to the ground and was instantly followed, he stuck his arms out to the sides and yelled as a great force of wind was generated from his body and blew towards Goten and Trunks, knocking them both away. The two saiyans got up quickly but Antrozous was gone, he had vanished into thin air and had arrived at Kami's lookout so he could talk to Piccolo and Dende.

"Where did he go?" Trunks yelled.

"How should I know?" Goten replied.

"I don't know." Trunks answered and turned back to normal, as did Goten.

Goten looked at him with spite.

"Goten, if you never want to speak to me again or to be near me then that can happen. All you need to do is say and I'll disappear." Trunks said.

"Then go and disappear." Goten said, hatred in his voice. Although, the hatred was more at himself.

Trunks then flew off, tears coming from his eyes.

Goten didn't care, he just flew off in the opposite direction back towards the Son house.

I think that is a good place to end this chapter. Next chapter, Broly's Son Arrives! Will they stand a chance? And, did Vegeta survive Bulma's attack? R/R
