This is kind of a filler chapter to add more people and prepare for the next chapter, which I have been looking forward to writing since I started this story. BTW We are right now in present time at Hercule Satan Manner.
Gohan sat quietly on the couch in deep meditation. It had been a while since Goku told everyone to go home while he contacted some people about the puppeteer; he would call them with any new information. Videl quietly came into the living room and sat down next to her husband to be; the two were planning to get married in a month.
"Gohan…Try not to worry. Your dad will find Goten, and the others too." She said with a smile. Gohan looked up and gave a small smile back.
"I'm not too worried; they're smart fighters. Who ever this Puppeteer guy is, he'll be in for a big surprise when Vegeta, Goten, and Trunks get a hold of him." Said Gohan with some cofidence. Just then two familiar figures walked into the room. One was Videl's father 'The World Champion….sigh' Mr. Satan. Close behind him was his best friend Mr. Buu (The good Majin Buu who Mr. Satan became friends with during the Buu saga).
"Hey Gohan" started the champ, "I had the staff cook up a lunch for you if you want some". Said Mr. Satan nervously; he was still trying to figure out where Vegeta had gone earlier. Buu's eyes slightly opened at the sound of food. Gohan stood up and looked at his 'soon to be' father in law.
"That sounds great, thanks Mr. S." Said the teenager. Just as the four of them were about to leave they were stopped by a voice.
" 'He's not happy with the team' he says, ' doesn't want all these children' he says, well he wants adults…I'll give him adults. I'll give him Gohan and more." Growled the puppeteer as he talked to himself. Suddenly a large portal opened up in the middle of the room and a green light shot out instantly. The Puppeteer marched out of the hole; he looked rather annoyed. "Ok whom do we have here?" he said as he looked at the immobilized people. "Gohan… ok that's the one he wanted, but just because I'm SOOO NICE, I'll give him some extra help. Lets see… Videl… I'll bring her along so Gohan will be distracted. Ahh yes… Mr. Buu to frighten the young boys (remember that the young boys don't know that fat buu turns good at the end of the saga). And… OH YA… Mr. Hercule Satan, the world champion, the one who defeated Cell….. HAHAHAHA… I'll bring him along to bug the crap out of Veggie-Chan!" Said the puppeteer. The puppeteer pulled the four new players into the portal and began his journey back to the other five players.
Vegeta opened his eyes and sat up. 'Well that was short' thought the prince as he looked at the sun's position in the sky. From what he could tell, he had only been sleeping for 25 minutes. They still had 35 minutes before they would be transported to the next area. He looked down at the two boys next to him. Trunks and Goten were still in terrible condition from their fight with Majin Buu. He slightly shook his son awake. The boy slowly opened his eyes.
"How do you feel?" asked Vegeta quietly. Trunks looked up at his father; he was in agonizing amounts of pain, but he didn't want his dad to know that.
"Fine… can I have some water?" Said the boy; his throat was extremely dry. Vegeta stumbled to his feet and began to limp. He noticed the younger version of his son was sitting on a rock looking up at the sky.
"Boy" said Vegeta, trying to get the kid's attention. The young Trunks quickly turned around. "Fly up and find some water, or some civilization so we can get some help, come back in 5 minutes" ordered Vegeta. Young Trunks nodded and took off.
Young Trunks scanned the ground for any sign of life, water, or anything for that matter, but there was nothing. There was nothing but rocks and craters (Not knowing of Goku's supper saiyan three transformation that took place before they arrive). Then something caught the boy's eye; it was a person. The boy flew down to see a severely injured version of his dad struggling to get up. This wasn't future Vegeta though, he had been wearing something more casual… not his fighting gi. Majin Vegeta looked over at the boy and quickly sat up.
"What the hell are you doing here?" spat Vegeta; he seemed mad. Before Young Trunks could answer Vegeta spoke again. "Never mind that, make yourself useful and find Kakarrot. He should have a senzu bean. Find it and bring it back to me". Said Majin Vegeta. "WHAT ARE YOU STUPID? I SAID FIND ME THE BEAN OR I'LL DESTROY YOU". Roared Vegeta. Trunks jumped and took off back in the air; he didn't know why this Vegeta was being so mean to him, but he said something about a senzu bean. He could find it and bring it back to the others. He flew back high in the sky and saw Goku lying unconscious on the ground. Trunks quickly flew down to the saiyan. He reached into the man's pocket and found a very small bag. He poured the contents into his hand; a single bean fell out. Trunks smiled and took off back towards the others with the bean held tightly in his hand.
Future Vegeta held the two future boys in his hands as he waited for the return of the younger boy. He was trying to figure out which one was in more need of help… they had were both just about even. He then heard a small voice come from Future Goten.
"There he is". Said the boy as he watch Young Trunks appear in the distance. Young Trunks made his landing on top of a small bolder in front of the group. He was tossing the senzu bean up and down in his hand.
"Guess what I found," said the boy with a smile. Vegeta looked at the bean being tossed in his younger son's hand.
"How did you get that?" said Vegeta with a small amount of joy.
"It's kind of a funny story, I found you and Goku lying a couple miles away and…." Before Trunks could finish he felt the bean slip past his fingers and watch helplessly as it landed into a small yet deep crack in the earths surface. Trunks panicked as he jumped to the crack and began to dig, but it was no use… the bean was lost. His face turned red with embarrassment as he turned to face his father. Vegeta COULD NOT BELIEVE what his younger son just did. They finally had a way to heal one of them and the younger Trunks messed it up.
"You dropped it, didn't you" said the prince calmly. Trunks head was facing the ground as he avoided eye contact. He nodded his head.
"And that was the only one you had, wasn't it" continued Vegeta. Trunks nodded again.
"OFF ALL THE STUPID, IDIOTIC, CARELESS THINGS TO DO, WE FINALLY HAVE A WAY TO HEAL OURSELVES AND YOU FUCK IT UP!" Yelled Vegeta in a rage. He was MAD. Trunks kept his head lowered as he listened to his father yell; He messed up big time. He kept his cool, held back tears, and took his scolding like a man. Vegeta was about to punish the boy when the Puppeteer (Who had finally returned from gathering the new players) cut him off.
"OOOOHHH Goody, what did I miss?" Said the puppeteer as he listened in on Vegeta yelling at his younger son. Vegeta looked up at the sky and yelled.
"SOOO? Where's Gohan?" Asked the prince.
"OK OK, CALM DOWN VEG, don't have a freaking cow. Just to show you how nice I am, I brought you… NOT 1, But 4 new players. May I present Player number SIX; she's the daughter of the world champion, liks long walks on the beach, and is madly in love with Gohan Son… Presenting Videl Satan". Videl was thrown out of a portal and was caught by young Goten. "Next up; he's strong, a saiyan, and goes to school, please give a warm welcome to GOHAAAN SOOOON!" said the Puppeteer, there was an applause coming from an unknown location. Gohan fell out of the portal and landed on his feet. "Now, please give a warm welcome to he champ himself, the one who beat cell Sigh, HERCULE SATAAAN." Hercule fell out of the hole and landed on his head. Gohan helped him to his feet. "NOW, I brought this next player especially for you Young Trunks and Young Goten. Please give a big FAT round of applause for MAJIIIIN BUUUUU!" The portal grew about 10 extra feet wide as the good pink giant fell from the hole and smashed into the ground. Young Trunks and Goten both screamed and ran behind Vegeta. "You have 25 minutes left… I'll let you guys explain everything to the newcomers," laughed the puppeteer as his voice faded; he was going to get a head start on the next area… he had some tricks he wanted to try out.
Vegeta looked at Gohan and gave a noticeable smile. He finally had some help. His smile then faded as he looked over at the girl, the liar, and the fat-ass that had also arrived. He sensed Buu's ki and knew right away that this was the good Buu; not one bit of evil. He was almost positive that the Puppeteer had sent the others to either get in their way, or annoy them. Gohan directed his attention to his injured little brother, and the injured Trunks.
"What happened to them… and what happened to you?" said Gohan seriously as he gently removed his brother from Vegeta's hands. Vegeta took a big breath before starting; it took him 5 minutes to explain everything; from the time his son had arrived atop the lookout, to now. Gohan listened to every word Vegeta said. The prince finished and looked back down at his son. Videl and Hercule both had similar looks on their faces… they were still rather new to these kinds of situations, while the Z warriors had been going through them all their lives.
"So it sounds like Majin Buu really got you guys good" said Gohan as he looked at Vegeta's injured body. He then noticed two heads slightly come out from behind Vegeta; they were looking wide eye at Mr. Buu. "Hey Vegeta… who's behind you?" asked the half-saiyan; Vegeta forgot to mention that Young Trunks and Goten were apart of their team too.
"Those two boys are Trunks and Goten from 6 months before our time; they were added to the game before we left the lookout. They are probably afraid of Majin Buu over there, because they haven't exactly had to many enjoyable memories of the monster… now have they." Vegeta said with a smirk. Hercule spoke up for the first time.
"There's no need to worry, this Buu wouldn't hurt a fly, he my friend, he's a changed man." Said the champ.
"Buu no hurt boys, Buu nice, Buu help". Said the monster that Goten and Trunks had seen do horrible things; kill Vegeta, Kill Gohan, kill innocent people, destroy Capsule Corporation (Remember the Puppeteer has been quite busy changing time). The two boys didn't move from behind Vegeta; it would take some time before they would trust him. Buu looked at Vegeta; he felt bad that his evil self had caused them so much pain. He would fix that; Buu walked over to the prince. Young Trunks and Goten both ducked down and coward behind Vegeta. Buu held up his hands and placed them on Vegeta. "Buu make all better" said Buu. A pink light came from his hand and surrounded Vegeta. Young Trunks and Goten quickly moved from Vegeta and hid behind Gohan's legs. After a couple of seconds Vegeta could feel no more pain… his body was healed. He then looked down at his son.
"Quickly, fix him!" Said the prince. Buu placed his hands on the small boy and healed him. Trunks watched as the creature placed his hands over his chest, and soon felt his ribs fix, his swollen eye went back to normal, and his bruises faded away.
"Sorry, Buu no fix boy's clothes" said the monster. Trunk's body was healed, but his gi still had a large tare on one of the shoulders… this was his favorite gi… oh well, at least he feels better. Buu then moved to Goten who was in Gohan's arms. Instantly the young Trunks and Goten ran back behind Vegeta. Buu healed the boy's broken leg and dislocated shoulder and the rest of his injuries. The two older saiyans set the boys on the ground and watched as they let out a cheer.
"ALRIGHT!" Said Future Trunks, "No one can stop team awesome now!".
"Now all we have to do is find The Puppeteer, then we can all go home". Chirped Future Goten. Just then, the group of nine saw a big puff of smoke in front of them. From the smoke cam a very large TV. The Tv was showing a big tournament taking place… It was the Martial art Tournament from earlier that morning. They then saw an announcer walk to the middle of the arena.
"ALRIGHT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET'S BEGIN THE FINAL ROUND OF THE JUNIOR DIVISON; GOTEN Vs TRUNKS!" Yelled the announcer. A small timer appeared on the side of the screen; it started counting down from about 15 minutes. The group stared at the TV, they had a bad feeling about this.
OK THAT'S IT FOR THIS CHAPER, PLEASE REVIEW!
