Trout caught Kakarot in his hands, and was delighted to hold onto him, but his bald headed sidekick was also being sucked into the hole; no energy left to fly. Trout sighed. He flew down and grabbed onto Krillian. He flew away with both Kakarot and Krillian behind a giant rock, conceived of more rocks and stood still from the suction. Trout was pressed against the rock. He saw Garlic Jr. fighting to get away.

" No! I will not be taken away!"

Garlic Jr. dashed away from the hole. Trout knew Garlic Jr.'s speed—was there a chance he could get away? Garlic Jr.'s escape was in vain. Garlic Jr.'s legs were completely sucked into the hole. Garlic Jr. grabbed a rock being sucked into the hole, it crushed into space dust. Garlic Jr.'s torso was the next thing sucked into the hole. The only thing not sucked into the hole was Garlic Jr.'s had and a hand.

" Help me!"

" I don't even think he deserves this kind of fate."

Trout watched Garlic Jr. sucked completely through the hole. The hole was gone when Garlic Jr. was gone. The moment Garlic Jr. was gone everything turned into a lake with green grass. Trout dropped Goku and Krillian on the lush grass. His son Gohan collapsed. The only one who was standing was Kami. Trout hoped Kami was a doctor because they looked like they needed serious help.

Trout saw a furtive figure flying over them, Piccolo. Trout followed Piccolo, and it brought him to a mountain. Piccolo hated Kakarot. He stared down at Goku and his son, wrathful.

" Enjoy today, Goku. Someday I will find you and beat you." Trout coughed. Piccolo looked at him.

" You don't really like Kakarot, do you?"

" Kakarot? I'm going after Goku." Piccolo replied

" Your never going to stop him. My Scouter says you only have a power level of 325. Even though your power levels are close, the one with the most power level always wins."

" Why don't you fight me? See what I'm really capable of when you irritate me."

" The only person I'm going to be fighting is my son...fighting him into shape. But don't worry, there will be a time you and I will see whose stronger. After all, I don't get a lot of action."

A long nail slashed his throat, but Trout flew over Piccolo. Trout was long gone. Piccolo found another nemesis. When he found Trout he would show him how powerful the son of King Piccolo was.

" Tarp, I'm home."

With hesitant steps Trout looked through the house. He checked the kitchen, stairs, and Tarp's room. Trout felt a kind of emptiness when Tarp wasn't there. Then suddenly he heard a loud sigh. Trout went downstairs. He walked into the living room, hesitantly checking to see if another of Garlic Jr.'s men followed him, saw someone sleeping on the couch.

" What a kid. First he's begging me to take him with me, and when I get home he's sleeping on the couch." Well, even the strongest fighters in the universe need to sleep." Trout got on the couch. He tried to crawl behind Tarp, but he was lain too close to the couch. " Tarp, could you move over a little?"

Tarp scotched over to let Trout in. Trout grabbed his son. Trout was feeling an euphemism, he didn't deserve to be this close to his son and doing something Saiyan's never did, it was just Tarp who drove him to commit this affinity. And Tarp was delighted his father was next to him. But tomorrow he was certain Dad would be rough on him in the training.

Trout was having a fight with his son Tarp. Tarp barely had the skills to block his father. After delivering a quick stunning blow Trout grabbed his son and tossed him to the ground. Tarp rose off the ground.

" What did I tell you?" Trout said. " You keep your hands only as far out as they need be. If you were in a real fist fight your opponent could just grab your arm and break it."

" Sorry, dad. I'll try harder."

Tarp and Trout had a rematch. Tarp jumped at Trout kicking his legs. Trout dodged every blow. He dodged a foot aimed for his face moving to the right. He jumped away from a foot to his stomach. And he poked Tarp in his stomach when he had the chance. Trout delivered a fist of Saiyan anger at Trout. Trout easily grabbed his hand.

" You did it again!" Trout let go of his son's hand. Tarp bowed his head and didn't dare look up. He didn't want his father to punish him. " You move your hands too far out. Watch." Trout walked to a giant tree that lost all its leaves. Trout punched the tree. He didn't hit it very hard, but before he punched it he rotated his arm. His punch was insidious. " See."

" All I saw was you punching a tree."

" We are going to fight."

" But dad...your so much bigger and stronger than me."

" Little kids can kill bigger. The key is to be stronger than them. I'm going to hit you in the right." Trout hit right, Tarp dodged. " Now I'm going to hit you in the left." Trout hit left, Tarp dodged again" Now I'm going to hit you in the right again." Trout hit right, Tarp dodged for the third time, Trout punched him in the left.

" That's not fair! You hit me in the left!"

" Yeah. So what?"

" So you said you would hit me in the right."

" Instead of listening to your opponent you should have been looking at him. If you paid attention to my eyes you could see I was aiming for your left."

" This is too weird! I don't want to play anymore!"

" Playing? You think this is a game? There are bad men out there who will kill you if they get the chance. I'm trying to teach you the basic fundamentals of fighting, to fend for yourself if these bad men show up, and you think it's just a game?!"

" But we don't have to get into battles, dad. We have the government, army, police, air force, all kinds of people who are helping everyone."

" They don't help people! They only help them if it's convient. There's not always an issue where their involved, but there is lots of bad things happening. We will not let ourselves be captured by these artful threats."

Trout considered fighting Tarp again. If he couldn't teach Tarp how to fight he would fail as a martial arts teacher and a Saiyan. Trout's eyes focused on a giant rock behind him. He thrust his hand and fired a blue ki blast. Tarp dropped to the ground as the ki blast overhead hit the giant rock and exploded. Sharp rock shrapnel exploded from the rock and impaled Trout. The shrapnel was deflected from Trout's chest.

" That's a ki blast. Have you learned enough to fire a ki blast?"

Trout tried using a ki blast. He saw a tiny rock he tried exploding. His resulting ki blast came out smaller than the size of a marble. The ki blast floated towards the rock for five seconds. Suddenly the ki blast popped.

" That's not a ki blast! Can't you use a ki blast? When I was your age I could fire enough ki blasts to destroy a meteor! You can't resolve your problems by quivering! Are you too scared aliens will come down and eat you? Do you think being stronger will make you a bigger target?"

" No! I think your just being a bully! I'm not you and I never will be! I hate you!"

Tarp flew off the ground and soared into the air. He, accelerated. Trout yelled below for his son to come back. " Tarp, get back here! Tarp!" Tarp was disobeying Trout. He wasn't listening to him. He was being a hard case. " I don't get it. I raised him the same way any Saiyan raises their children. Why can't he get stronger?"
