Here's the next Chapter of my story, I would like to thank troyboltonsgirl for reviewing my story, thanks a bunch :) Now we go to stop #2 on the Puppeteer's list…. DBZ is not mine.

Goku was pinned to a bolder, he couldn't move. His neck, arms, and legs were all pinned by energy rings. He looked badly beaten. Just then, Vegeta appeared in front of him; looking beaten himself.

"What's the matter? Not winning as easily as you thought" Said Vegeta sarcastically

"Nrgh, I never said it would be easy," replied the immobilized saiyan

"Mmph, You won't be winning at all," Said the prince. He slapped Goku across the face.

"Gnrrgh" growled Goku

"What CLOWN? Are you feeling angry? Humiliated? Is that it?" Said Vegeta as he kneed Goku in the gut. "FOOL! You don't know the meaning of humiliation!" Vegeta said. This was the fight he had been training for… FOR SEVEN LONG YEARS: It was his turn to beat Kakarrot, his turn to win. Just as Goku was about to escape the evil prince's energy hold, they were interrupted by a small cough. The two looked over to see a tall, black suited, doll faced man watching them.

"Sup", said the Puppeteer; he wasn't exactly sure how he would pull this off, but if he did, he would have enough energy to travel back in time a trillion years (not that he needed to) "You fellas having a nice day?" he politely asked.

"LISTEN, I DON'T KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE, AND I DON'T REALLY CARE, BUT YOU HAVE TILL THE COUNT OF 10 TO LEAVE BEFORE I BLAST YOU TO HELL" Roared Majin Vegeta. "ONE!" he began

"Wow, a little bit testy, aren't we?" Said the puppeteer as he sensed the power levels of the two saiyans; even now they had enough energy to help him complete his plan, but he wanted the extra amount that would make him a GOD.

"TWO!" Continued the Prince as he turned from Goku and faced the man.

"Well first allow me to introduce myself, I am The PUPPETEER" Announced the puppet.

"THREEEE!" Vegeta said; he didn't really seem to care who he was, he just wanted to get back to beating Kakarrot.

"Hmmm, well then I guess I won't tell you," Said the Puppeteer; trying to spark curiosity in the prince's mind.

"FOUR!" continued Vegeta, uninterested in what the rag doll had to say.

"AWWW Come on! Don't you even want to know why I'm here?" Said the puppeteer, he didn't like this Vegeta… he wasn't as nice as the others…. 'Vegeta and nice… something I never thought I would say in the same sentence' Thought the puppeteer.

"FIVE" Vegeta said as he reached the half waypoint of his counting.

"SIIIIX" mocked the Puppeteer; he wanted to get some kind of reaction out of the prince.

"SEVEN" Said the prince as he began to raise his hand.

"Oh come on, that's not far, you skipped six!" Complained the Puppeteer.

"EIGHT!" Continued Majin Vegeta as he began to charge a ki blast.

"GRRRR, fine I guess I'll just get on with it." Sighed the Puppeteer.

"NNIINNEE!" said the saiyan as he took aim.

"GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE HE KILLS YOU" Yelled Goku, not wanting to see the man get hurt.

"SILENCE Mr. 'I don't want to tell Vegeta I'm a SUPER SAIYAN THREEEE". Yelled the Puppeteer; that caught Vegeta's attention and he quickly appeared directly in front of the Puppeteer.

"What did you say!" Barked the Prince.

"OHH Veggie; you do care!" Joked the puppeteer; he knew Majin Vegeta would take care of the rest. Vegeta then grabbed the Puppeteer's neck.

"Talk Puppet Freak before you lose your head." Said Majin Vegeta; he wasn't sure if he had just heard this man correctly. If he had, then Kakarrot would be a dead man…. Well you know what I mean (because he's already dead…. Didn't you see the halo?)

"I said that Goku AKA Kakarrot AKA Mr. Liar Pants over there can turn into Super Saiyan Level Three; I've seen it with my own eyes" The Puppeteer revealed a sinister smile across his face. Vegeta dropped the Puppet and watched him land gracefully on the ground. The two stared at each other for a few moments, until Majin Vegeta spoke.

"Thank you for the heads up; feel free to stay for the show" Said Vegeta as he turned to Goku; he looked MAD!

"Your quite welcome your majesty, I'll just take a seat over here" Said the puppeteer as he materialized a lawn chair and sat down to watch the fight.

"KAKARROT! You Lying pile of CRAP, you pathetic BAKA, YOU, YOU! I knew you were holding back; well ENOUGH HIDING, POWER UP TO SUPER SAIYAN THREE AND GIVE ME A REAL FIGHT!" Spat Vegeta; he couldn't believe it… KAKARROT BEAT HIM AGAIN!. He never could surpass the saiyan's power level, he was always one step ahead of him; well no more, he would beat the super saiyan three and then train every single second of every single day until he reached it.

"Vegeta" Started Goku calmly, "I didn't mean to hold back, it's just that turning into a super saiyan three requires an unbelievable amount of energy; if I went super saiyan three then I would use up all of my energy and would have to leave before the day was over." Said Goku; he had been given enough energy to last him a day on earth before he had to return to other world. Vegeta landed a punch straight across the restrained saiyan's face.

"You turn super saiyan three right now… or so help me…. I'll…. I'll…. I'll kill the others!" Said Vegeta. Goku went into shock; surely he couldn't be serious, but Goku looked straight into the possessed saiyan's eyes; he would do anything to get a full and fair fight from him, even kill his own friends and family.

"Vegeta.. I'm ashamed of you; how dare you even say you would kill our friends and family, that's not the Vegeta I know… I" Goku was cut off by Vegeta's knee ramming straight into his groin.

"I will go there right now and start with that pathetic brat of yours, now power up, this is your final warning". Vegeta said. Goku didn't have a choice; even if he managed to hold Vegeta off for a while, he would soon have to leave this world, and there was no telling what he would do if he didn't get his wish.

The Puppeteer was watching the whole argument take place as he ate a bag of popcorn; he was beginning to like this Vegeta.

"Fine, but you have to promise that you will never hurt another human being as long as you live if I turn into super saiyan three… deal?" Sighed Goku in defeat; he cared too much for his family and friends to take any risks.

"What ever you say," laughed the prince as he released his captive. "Now get on with it".

Goku stood up and began to gather his ki.

"This is it," Said the puppeteer, he knew he had seven minutes until the others arrived: it would take Goku about 6 to reach super saiyan three. He was going to have to act fast. With that the Puppeteer watched as a mass of golden energy appeared around Goku. The Saiyan began to scream as he began his transformation. Vegeta couldn't believe what he was sensing… 'This is it' thought the Majin Prince.


Young Goten led the group down the tie die tunnel; behind him was his friend from his time (Young Trunks) who was standing closely to his Father from the Future. Vegeta was weak, he had ignored the pain until now; his injuries from Majin Buu were beginning to affect his whole body. The prince slowly but surely limped down the dimensional hallway with his injured son and friend in his arms. He knew the three of them would have to get some help soon if they were to carry on. His thoughts were interrupted when he felt a small tug on his shirt. It was the younger version of his son; he smiled at his future dad, but still looked concerned. Vegeta thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Where did you take the others?' asked Vegeta; hoping it was somewhere far away from the furious Majin Buu.

"Well, me and Goten flew as fast as we could for about 20 minutes, then we came across a small town. We landed, and a bunch of people came out. We didn't really have time to explain anything because we felt your energy's begin to drop, so we told the people to take good care of them and we sped off back to you… and it looks like we got there just in time too". Said Trunks. Vegeta looked at the boy.

"Thank you" said Vegeta under his breath; Trunks was barley able to catch his father's approval for his disobedience (Vegeta told the boys to take the others far away and not turn back). The young boy slightly smiled. Vegeta then felt his legs give out and he collapsed to his knees; Young Trunks caught him before he fell any further.

"I'M FINE" Yelled Vegeta; he hated it when people found the need to help him, but who was he kidding, he needed some help right about now, he was injured, his son and friend were injured, and he had to look after the younger boys too. Trunks jumped back as his father yelled, but then looked at Goten; the two boys nodded their heads in agreement, they both knew what the other was thinking. The two young boys walked over to Vegeta and gently lifted the future boys out of his arms. Trunks held Goten, and vice versa. The two boys then floated up a few feet in the air and placed Vegeta's arms around their shoulders so he would have support. Vegeta didn't resist; he didn't have the energy to. He looked over towards his younger son and gave a slightly noticeable smile. Trunks smiled back; he knew that even from his future dad, it was his way of saying I love you. The five continued down the path, hoping to find the exit soon.


"COME ON DAD! I SAID MOVE IT!" Ordered Young Trunks as he and Goten dragged the Future Vegeta down the hall. Vegeta had suffered far more injuries from his fight with Majin Buu than first thought; he was drifting in and out of consciousness. Trunks stopped for a moment and set his dad down gently. He walked over to Goten who was still holding the Future Trunks in his arms.

"Goten, do me a favor and hold him, I need to help my dad." Said Young Trunks as he placed the Future Goten in his friend's arms. The young boy balanced the two boys in his arms without causing them any significant pain. He continued to walk forward hoping for an exit soon. He squinted his eyes and looked down the long tunnel; he could see a small light in the distance.

"Trunks! I think I see the way out!" said Goten with enthusiasm. The small boy began to pick up speed while still being careful not to hurt the boys in his arms. Trunks walked back over to his future father and lifted his arm over his shoulder.

"Come on Dad, just a little bit further." Said Trunks as he dragged the man towards the exit. Vegeta began to close his eyes, but Trunks wouldn't allow it, his dad had taught him to never quit; quitting was for the weak. "DAD I SAID MOVE!" Said the boy angrily; he wasn't going to let his dad give up so easily, even if the man was from the future, he was still his dad, and he wouldn't let him rest. "COME ON DAD! YOU CALL YOURSELF THE PRINCE OF SAIYANS! WHAT KIND OF A PRINCE GIVES UP JUST BECAUSE HE WAS BEAT UP BY A PINK FAT-ASS. YOU ALWAYS TAUGHT ME TO NEVER GIVE UP AND STAY STRONG, AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU GIVE UP, NOW MOVE!". Yelled Trunks. This got Vegeta's attention; he despised anyone who called him weak, it made him angry, and hearing it from his own son got his adrenalin pumping. The prince stood up and began limping towards the exit; just about 20 more feet. A large smile came across Trunks's face, "Now that's the dad I know!" said the boy. They reached the end of the tunnel and stepped through the portal; first thing they had to do was find some help.


The Puppeteer smiled as he finally saw Goku power down to normal; It had taken 5 minutes to drain the super saiyan three's massive amount of energy, but it was worth the wait. The Puppeteer whipped the two saiyans around and released them from the green light sending them plummeting towards the earth. The puppeteer raised his blade to the sky and released a bolt of lightning; the sky around turned black and cloudy. This was the power he had been waiting for. Technically he had one more time stop that was located earlier today, but that was incase he couldn't get Goku to fully power up. He decided that he would still go there to try out his newly gained power. He then saw a portal open up on the ground below; 5 very tired (3 severely injured) saiyans fell out and landed on the ground. The puppeteer looked at his watch. O.O they were 7 minutes late… It had taken them 17 minutes to get through the portal… wow

"What took you guys so long?" Yelled the Puppeteer, "I was beginning to think that your injuries from Majin Buu were to much to handle and you dropped dead on the way here." Laughed the Puppeteer. Vegeta then cut him off.

"PUPPETEER! I have a request," Yelled the prince. The puppeteer grew quiet… this was the first time the prince had correctly said his name so he must be serious. "I require help, I need another play on our team… someone who isn't a child. Please!" Said the Prince. He needed help or else he was going to loose his mind.

"That seems like a reasonable request" said the puppeteer, "Anybody you have in mind?" Asked the puppeteer as he raised his hand preparing to rip a portal. Vegeta thought for a moment; he wasn't going to ask for Kakarrot (He was to proud for that), most of the other fighters were weak, and then one person came to mind.

"I wish to add my time's Gohan to our team". Said Vegeta; Gohan was powerful and mature, and would be able to help him manage the four children. The puppeteer smiled at his request; he could have picked so many other better people.

"As you wish," Said the puppeteer. "Next time however, I would think about your decision a little bit more, like maybe adding Future Goten to the team, or requesting Piccolo and his healing capabilities… You have 1 hour before I send you to your next location, I'd use that time to rest if I were you". Laughed the Puppeteer as he ripped and entered the portal.

"DAMNET!" Yelled Vegeta as he collapsed to the ground; his adrenalin was slowly wearing off. "The puppeteer was right, we should have added Goten, or had him bring Piccolo, at least we would be able to heal ourselves." He had forgotten that Future Goten wasn't apart of the team; he could be left behind and couldn't catch the puppeteer. Vegeta looked over as the two younger boys gently placed the critically injured future boys on the ground; they were still conscious and still in a lot of pain. He stumbled to his feet and limped over to the two boys, and laid down in-between them. He gently grabbed Goten's hand incase they were transported early; this would keep him from getting left behind. The prince moved the two boys closer to him and looked up at the sky, and slowly closed his eyes to take a nap. He added one final comment before he drifted off.

"You boys should rest, you deserve it." Said the Prince; and with that he fell asleep. The Future Trunks and Goten were also sleeping. The Young Trunks and Goten looked at each other; they had both had a long day (Since their day had started with the World Martial Art Tournament). The boys quietly joined the other three fighters and closed their eyes; a quick nap wouldn't hurt.
