Last time on Dragonball Z, Gosen and Trunks displayed little of the power they harbored to kill both Frieza and King Cold without any effort what so ever. Now with Frieza gone, Goku, our hero, has returned, what information will come out today!

Chapter 4: A New Threat


"How did you guys know I'd be here?" Goku said, just as confused as anybody else.

"These guys said he'd lead us to you. We thought you knew them from somewhere." Bulma said, trying to give him the best answer she could.

"But, I don't know these guys. Although this one has a striking resemblance to Gohan." Goku said, looking over at Gosen. "But hey, I been wanting to ask. Who defeated Frieza? Was it you Piccolo? Or was it you Vegeta?"

"None of us did, it was these 2 guys." Piccolo said. Goku had a surprised look on his face. Piccolo continued by saying "These 2 guys turned into Super Saiyans and finished Frieza without any effort at all.

"What? A Super Saiyan?! Wow, a Super Saiyan at their age, just imagine the training they had to go through!"

"Goku, can we talk, you me and him, alone?" Trunks said, eager for a reply.

Goku's look turned from perplexity to a look of concern, yet eagerness. "Alright then, sure." Goku, Trunks, and Gosen all fly about 500 meters from the original distance so no one can here the conversation even the slightest bit.

"Thanks for doing this man." Trunks said

"No problem, but shoot, I should be thanking you for defeating Frieza for me. I had a chance back then to finish him, but I was only fooling myself, thinking that he might change."

"Not him, he was out of control and had to be stopped, so we took the initiative for you." Gosen said.

"Well thanks to a special technique I learned, I could've been there in a matter of seconds." Gosen and Trunks both looked at Goku with a perplexed feeling in them.

"How would you have done that?" Gosen asked.

"This new move I learned from the Yardrats. It's called Instant Transmission!" Goku said while winking.

"You mean like time travel?" Trunks asked eager to know the answer.

"No, you travel at the speed of light, depending on your capability, you can travel even faster than that!"

"Sounds like an extremely useful technique." Gosen said, now feeling obligated to learn the technique.

"But now I want to ask you something Goku." Trunks said, changing the subject.

"Shoot." Goku said, allowing the question to be asked.

"Can you transform into a Super Saiyan for us?" The question was clear as the summer skies, but it seemed to be the question that confused Goku the most in the entire moment he was back.

"Please Goku."

"Well, alrighty then. Here goes nothing." Goku prepared himself, as his power level began to shoot up to amazing heights as quickly as it could. Next thing everyone knew, Goku stood there, as strong as a ox, in his Super Saiyan form, with his power bleeding out. Piccolo and the others didn't know what to make of the transformation.

Even Gohan didn't know what to make of it, even after seeing it for the second time, it still felt like such a dream for him.

"How can he generate so much power? It's amazing, it's even more than those 2 kids just now!" Yamcha said, easily impressed.

"Damn you Kakarot! You always seem to be 2 steps ahead, but I wil have it, I will experience it!"

Trunks and Gosen seemed to be most pleasured by Goku's transformation. "Ok, what's next friend?" Goku said.

"Now we all be Super Saiyans!" Gosen said, seemingly more hyperactive than before. In the same instant, both Gosen and Trunks became Super Saiyans, as there power began to leak out the same way Goku's did. Yet their power, didn't seem to match up to Goku's new found strength.

"A-Amazing! They're on fire guys!" Yamcha exclaimed, still the most easily impressed out of the group."

Goku seemed just as surprised as the rest of them, even after hearing they were Super Saiyans. " We're exactly the same." He said.

Both Trunks and Gosen's face turned into a look of focus, and they attacked Goku as one. Goku didn't move, as both Gosen and Trunks stopped mid-attack. "Why didn't you try to avoid it?" Trunks said almost annoyed.

"I searched your feelings, so I knew you would stop." Goku answered, as he seemed a little too confident than usual.

"I see, well this time we aren't going to stop, got it?" Trunks answered back.

"As you wish." Goku then got into his stance, getting ready to the attack of the 2 Saiyans. At that same moment, Gosen and Trunks attacked Goku head on. Goku moved back and the 2 surrounded Goku into a high speed combat motion. Even with extra arms and legs, they still didn't manage to hit Goku even once.

Gosen spun around for a round house kick and Trunks did the same, instead he was about to strike with his blade. Goku stood his ground and blocked each attack with his arms. The Super Saiyan aura that surrounded them buckled as it became bigger and shrunk back to normal size.

"Heh, amazing, you're even stronger than I remember!" Gosen said with excitement.

"I've never fought you before, so I'm quite surprised you're just as strong as my mom said you were." Trunks added.

"I'm glad I didn't disappoint." Goku said. Soong after the conversation ended, they all reverted back to normal to continue their talk.

"Back to business. Goku there is something I need to talk to you about, but to get there I need to start from the beginning." Trunks said.

"Alright then, go ahead." Goku said, allowing him to continue.

"Okay. My name is Trunks and this guy is named Gosen. The next few things I say might come off as bit of a shock. We're both from the future."

"The future?"

"Yes, Vegeta was right. Only you, Gohan and himself have Saiyan blood, and I got mine from him. He's my father."

"W-What?! You're Vegeta's son?!" Goku yelled out. This was probably the only time he became so surprised in his life.

"Yes, I'm half Saiyan, half Human."

"Haha! That means Vegeta is going to be a daddy!" Gosen always loved his dad's sense of humor, so he chuckled a little bit under his breath.

"This person standing right next to me is your son. He was the twin brother of Gohan in my timeline."

"WAAAHH?! TWIN BROTHER?!"

"Yeah, I'm Gohan's twin brother. That's why we look so similar. But some circumstances made us come here. Bad circumstances made us come here." The mood went from comedic to a moment of mourning so easily with one sentence.

"What kind of circumstances?" Goku asked.

"In our time, 1 year ago we lost everything by 1 single being." Trunks said.

"A single being?" Goku asked, confused.

"Yes, he was a green creature. His name was Cell. An android created by Dr. Gero of the Red Ribbon Army. Remember them?" Gosen said.

"Yeah! I defeated them!"

"Cell was created to be the perfect being. All of our cells are in that monster. All of our cells combined to make the perfect android, capable of destroying all life in the universe with his power." Trunks added to Gosen's previous explanation.

"This "Cell" is that strong?" Goku asked, almost excited to here the answer.

"Yes, he is. We've almost died each time we came into contact with him, we may look strong to you now, but the most we could do when we see him is run for our lives!" Gosen said desperately.

"Huh? But what about the others? Aren't they helping you guys?" Goku asked.

"They can't, they're all dead."

"What?!"

"Yes, Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE! Gohan, Piccolo, Vegeta, Krillin, Tien, Chaoitzu, Yamcha, Roshi, Oolong, even my own mother, Chi Chi, dies a brutal death to that monster!"

"Chi Chi too?" Goku took a long pause, even though the present Chi Chi is unharmed, he's angry to know that she's been killed in an alternate timeline.

"The only one still alive, yet hiding in fear constantly is Trunks' mother."

"But wait, what happen to me? you guys?" Goku asked.

"You were the only one to even hold your ground against Cell, but in the end he managed to get you as well. With no one there for me , I came here, deciding to start a new life, and stay with you, Gohan and Mom."

"I see."

"The set date for Cell's arrival is just about 3 years from now. He appeared out of no where, so we don't know his exact location of arrival, but keep watch on the news. You may here some breaking reports on city destruction or people missing." Trunks said.

"We really shouldn't be telling you this Dad, because it can change history, for the better, or even for the worse. But we have to take a chance at it. Some history should change, things are pretty bad right now."

"I understand." Goku said. New found confidence seemed to fill up within Goku and tried to reassure the 2 young Saiyans as well as possible. "Not just me, but all of us will train as hard as possible to make a difference. So you don't have to worry about a thing."

"Heh, you're just as confident as you were in my time. So full of energy and so powerful too. My mother was definitely right about you."

"You're mom knows me?" Goku asked curiously.

"Yup, in fact she's standing right there." Trunks said while pointing at Bulma in the distance. Much to Goku's shock he fell down laughing hysterically.

"B-BULMA'S YOU'RE MOTHER?!" Goku yelled out, so loud it could be heard from the other Z warriors. But it was still too vague to actually make out what he said. Piccolo almost fell to the ground himself as his strong sense of hearing made him over hear the shocking discovery.

"That boy lifted his finger and Kakarot fell down!" Vegeta exclaimed, curiously wanted to know what will happen next.

"Wow, Bulma and Vegeta, that's wild."

"I will be born 2 years from now. I haven't seen my father for a while, so it was nice to finally see him again. And he's as proud as I remember. But please don't tell them, because if they get wind of it, they might shun away from each other."

"Don't worry about it, you're secret is safe with me." Goku said, reassuring him.

"Thank you, well I should be going now. My mom needs to know everything went ok."

"Ok, tell her that I send my love."

"I will, this is where we part ways Gosen, I hope you enjoy your new life here."

"I'll try too. Thank you Trunks, and have a safe trip back home." Gosen said.

"I will. I'll also be training for the day I return to you. I'll be back to you guys within a years time to see how things are going. Until then this is goodbye." As Trunks finishes he flies off back to where his time machine landed.

"He left without even saying goodbye." Yamcha said, sounding disappointed.

"Hmm, how am I going to tell the others?" Goku said

"I'll tell them, Its not much to explain so it'll be easy." Said Gosen, not yet used to talking to his father who is practically a stranger at this moment.

All the Z fighters ran over to Goku and Gosen. Within a 10 minute period, Gosen told his origin and the entire story, while managing to keep Trunks' origin a secret.

"Sounds like a load of bull." Yamcha said, as if he knew the entire situation was a lie.

"Believe what you want to believe, as for me, I want to live, so I'm going to train, harder than ever." Piccolo said.

Without warning Vegeta made a huge outburst, "Listen! Kakarot just because we're fighting on the same side, don't think I changed or anything between us has changed! Got it?! When this is over, you're next!"

"Sure!" Goku said, as optimistic as ever. All the other Z warrior gave their farewells, and departed to start their training right away. Goku asked Piccolo for a training partner, and Gosen was welcomed as a part of the family with open arms.

Goku got into the usual argument with Chi Chi over Gohan's studying, and she quickly became used to Gosen, wanting the same level of studying from him as well. Gosen and Gohan looked at each other and gave a grin, knowing that they had encountered the same argument in the past and that some things will never change.

Vegeta asks for a gravity chamber that goes above 400x earth's normal gravity. And all the Z fighters began to train at their own pace, while Goku, Gohan, Gosen and Piccolo all pushed it past their limit. Gohan and Gosen became more acquainted as they trained together, with Gosen showing the noticeable advantage against Gohan, and Goku and Piccolo watched with a smile on their face.

"Ready Bro?" Gosen said waiting for Gohan's move.

"Bring it!" Gohan said.

Gosen began to scream out loud, to power up as the high snowy mountain began to tremble. At the same instant he disappeared and began entering high speed combat with Gohan while still maintaining his advantage.

"Read my movements Gohan! Don't just use your eyes, use all of your senses! to its full advantage!" Gosen told Gohan.

Narrator
Now Gohan must learn Gosen's fighting style and adapt to it accordingly, Gohan must train hard if he wants to be as strong as the other 3. One year passes and everything seems to be going well. But off into the distance, there seems to be a problem on New Namek, as if they already couldn't get a break!

No power levels anymore. I did it for fun, but now it's slowing me down
