Part 1

This story is being told by Goten.

"Trunks, hurry we're going to be later then usual." I said watching Trunks stand in front of the mirror combing his purple hair. "Just wait a sec. I'm almost done." I walked outside and waited. Trunks hopped out the door and started running. "Yo, I'm still back here, baka." He turned to see me leaning against the house. "Oh, I thought you left. Come on we're going to get it real good this time." He said. 'I'll always be here.' I thought.

Trunks turned and started flying. "Normal people don't fly!" I yelled following him. "Let's not be normal today. Let's be...oh I dunno Saiyans." He said smiling and flying faster. 'Something's watching us.' I thought. "Thanks for waiting up Trunks." Bra yelled from behind us. Close behind her were Pan and the unsteady Marron. "Hey, Bra, Pan, Marron... I forgot about you." I said rolling my eyes. "Hey uncle Goten!" Pan yelled. I turned to wave and started to land.

We landed a block away from the school and walked the rest of the way. "Ready for our big history test?" I asked every one. "No!" we all said in unison. Then laughed. "Well, half hour late again Trunks." I said looking at my watch. "Half hour?!" Bra screamed. "Don't worry. They probably won't care." Trunks said bumping into the principal. "Looook....It's the San/Briefs clan." He said looking at his watch. "Late again I see." "I'm not a San or a Brief so I guess I'll be going then." Marron said trying to sneak by.

"Well, sir, we are late but you're making us later. So we'll just be on our way." I said walking towards class. "No one is leaving until I call parents." He said grabbing the back of my shirt. "But sir, all our parents are out of town." Marron said. " 'Cept Gohan. My daddy." Pan said, a little louder then she hoped. "Pan! And another thing...The San and Briefs are two different clans." Bra said spitting out her tongue. "Well, I guess I know who to call." He said walking inside. I turned around fast. "What was that? I thought I felt a ki raise and fly away."

"Well Goten, your brother's on his way." He said. "Gohan? Why?" I asked. "Son-Gohan is the only one home and is old enough to know what I'm talking about." He said. "Sir, there is a man out here to see you, says his name is Gohain." A lady on a microphone said. "That's Gohan." Gohan voice also made its way through the microphone. "Whatever." The lady said. "Send him in." The principal said. Now I love my brother a lot. But he's just, too perfect. He's a great scholar and a great fighter. "Hey, Goten." He said rubbing my head as he passed.

'What is it with people, do they think my Saiyan hair is good luck? Everyone rubs my head. I mean it's stiff and spiky. Rub Trunks' hair, it's nice and silky.' I vented in my head. "Now Gohan, I'm not sure if you are aware, but Goten and Trunks have been late for the last tree days. No note, no call. They just show late." He said. "Well, maybe school should start later." Trunks said under his breath. We both giggled. "Trunks, Goten, Pan, Marron Bra don't you have a history test today?" I sighed and nodded.

"Well, get to class." he ordered as we stood and began walking out. "Trunks, how's it going?" A girl asked. "Oh hi." He replied and turned the corner. "What is with you man? 'Oh, hi.' You need to make conversation with the girls that talk to you." I said. "I would kill to be you, man. You're a lady killer." "I have my eyes set on someone else." He whispered. "Are you still hooked on Pan? Dude, she's my niece." I quietly yelled stopping. "Hey, you're hooked on my sister." Trunks said opening the door to the history class.

"Yeah but that's different." I lied walking in class. "Trunks, Goten, Bra, Pan, Marron take your seats." The teacher said not looking up from his computer. "How'd, you know?" Trunks asked. "Trunks, we're always late." I said sitting. "But still..." "No talking during the test. You have a half hour to complete it, go." The teacher handed us our tests. It was fairly easy considering all Trunks and I ever mark down was "C". We walked out of class early because we finished early and were bored.

We walked to the principal's office to see if Gohan would drive us to get something to eat. Trunks being extra late made us have to skip breakfast. Gohan walked out of the office smiling and waving to the principal. He shut the door and saw us. "Hey, guys." "Well, Gohan, how bad is it?" Trunks asked. "Well, you almost had detention. But I talked him out of it." He replied. "Thank you Son-Gohan." Trunks said. "How 'bout lunch to celebrate!" I said.

We walked to the van and drove off campus. "Gohan...Are you going to tell mom?" I asked so no one would hear. "Well, I'm not going to tell mom, but you're going to tell dad." He replied. "You're just lucky your dad is Goku, the nicest pure blooded Saiyan alive. You don't have the Prince of the Saiyan race as your father. Gohan, can you not tell Vegeta please? Trunks and I will tell mom but please don't tell father." Bra pleaded. "Okay, but I'm going to ask Bulma and father about it tomorrow so all of you better tell soon." Gohan said.

We pulled into a drive through. "What can we get for you today?" the intercom lady asked. "I'll have four burgers, four large fries and 3 cokes." Gohan said. "Will that be all?" She asked. "No, um...could you triple that order? Thank you." Gohan said. "Well...that will be about $105." She said. "Cool." He said pulling up. I pulled out my wallet and gave Gohan a twenty. "I know it's like 17.50 each or something but oh well." I said putting my wallet and calculator away.

Gohan gave me a weird look. We pulled up and the girls ran to the TV. As soon as they turned it on a reporter showed up. "And police think the explosion was caused by a gas leak." They flipped the channel before I could get anymore info. Trunks and I trained for about two hours. Trunks hit me with a hard punch and I slid across the yard. "That one had to hurt." A girl's voice said from behind me. "Bra." I gasped. "Hiya, Goten, you okay?" she asked leaning down to me. I looked at Trunks and noticed that he wasn't looking at Bra or me but behind us. When he landed he was still starring.

"Pan, how's it going?" Trunks asked. Pan walked from behind Bra. "It's going good," she said looking down at me. "Nice punch Trunks." Trunks smiled and blushed. "You really think so?" he asked stupidly scratching the back of his head. "How's it going, uncle?" Pan asked staring down still. "I think my leg is broken." I said trying to move it. "Yep. Broken." Bra said examining my wound.

"I'll be fine." I said trying to stand. As soon as I put pressure on it I collapsed. "Don't try to stand. It'll only hurt more. I just heard Goku come home, I'll go get him." Bra said in a comforting voice. Dad came out with mom and Gohan. "Goten, honey. Are you okay? What happened? TRUNKS!" she blurred everything together. "No, it wasn't his fault. I just hit my leg first after Trunks punched me..." I had realized what I said after it was too late.

"Trunks!" Mom shot him a glare. "Come on, Chi-Chi, it was just as much Trunks fault as it was Goten's. Goten chose to spar." Father stated. "Um, dad do you think you could get me one of those beans?" I asked feeling my other leg go numb. "Don't argue with me Goku!" Mom yelled. "I'm feeling faint!" I said. "Sorry Chi-Chi, I just think that it's unfair to blame Trunks when Goten could have just said no." Goku fought back. "Everything's going black." I said. "Come on, Trunks. Let's take Goten inside and get him a bean." Bra said putting one of my arms around her.

Trunks and Bra brought me inside and grabbed the bag of beans hanging from one of my dad's gi's. "Goten, can you hear me?" Bra said holding the bean in front of my head. I couldn't speak. 'Man, she's pretty hot for a 14-year-old.' I thought...or did I? Bra gave me a weird look and then an embarrassed smile. "Oh shit, did I say that out loud?" I asked. She nodded, putting the bean in my mouth. "Are you okay now?" Trunks asked. I nodded. "Good." He said punching me in the arm.

"Ow, Ass." I said to him. "What? You want another beating?" Trunks said standing. I speared him as fast as I could through the open window. We rolled away from each other and stood in fight positions. "Goten! Trunks! Stop it right now!" Mom yelled. "Mom, they're just working something out. Please just let them." Gohan said. I had ignored mother's call anyway so I wasn't going to stop. Trunks jumped at me but I moved and kneed him in the stomach. He grabbed my foot and threw me into the ground.

I sank in the ground about three feet until Trunks flew up and landed down on me. Which pushed me down about five more feet. He jumped off me and as soon as I stood up he kicked me. I flew back and came to a harsh stop. I looked up to see a green man holding the back of my gi. "Piccolo." I said as he dropped me. "Goku, Dende needs to talk to all of us." he said. Piccolo took off with Gohan, father, Trunks, Pan, Bra and me. We stopped to get Vegeta, Tien, Krillin, Chotzu, and Yamcha. We landed on top of Dende's lookout. "Where's Marron?" Trunks shrugged and stared at Dende. "I have been watching a creature run around and collect all of the Dragon Balls. He was moving way too fast for me to figure out who it was. Every time I knew where he was, it was too late, he had left already."

"Well, the creature has taken them to a ship and has taken off. He has summoned the dragon many times. Because the ship he is in has a protective boarder and the Dragon Balls cannot leave." Dende explained. "We need all the help we can get." Just then a big yellow ship landed on the lookout tower. Out jumped Bulma and my mom. "Trunks!" Bulma said. "Goten!" my mom yelled. "Your principal called." Bulma began. "He said you were late again." My mom finished. "As I was saying we need all the help we can get, who's in?" We all raised our hands. "Pan, do you really think you're up to this?" Gohan asked. "No she's not." Videl walked out of the ship also, along with 18. "Mom, please." Pan begged. "No, you're not strong enough yet." Videl said.

"Trunks, Goten, don't even think that you two are going. You are staying home and going to school, on time. Now get on the ship." Bulma said. Pan, Trunks and I all walked back to the ship. "Be careful." I said to everyone but looking at Bra. "Daddy, I don't think I'm ready to take on this evil." Bra tugged on Vegeta's shirt. "What do you mean, not ready?" Vegeta growled. "Hey, if she's not ready she's not ready!" I growled back at Vegeta. "You better watch your mouth boy. Or I'll..." "Or you'll what, Vegeta?" father stepped in.

We walked on the ship and all sat in the back away from our parents. "Oh come on, it is one battle you're going to miss. They probably won't need you guys anyway." Bulma said. Trunks looked up at her and glared and Bra did the same. I sat starring out the window. 'Good luck, father. I swear I will come and help you.' I thought looking at the tower. "What 'cha lookin' at?" Bra came and stood by me. "I wish I could go with them." I said taking my eyes off the tower and looking at Bra. I turned and leaned up against the wall of the ship and slid down to a sitting position. Bra sat next to me.

"They will be all right. I mean it's not like I'd make such a big difference but I just like being there if anyone does need help." I said. "I know what you mean. I never really make a big difference but I still like the fight." She replied. We both smiled and sort of blushed. When I looked out the window again there were dark clouds covering the view of the tower. "Looks like rain. Do you just want to have dinner over at our house?" Bulma asked all the adults. "Can we go pick up Marron first? I told her we wouldn't be long." 18 asked nicely.

"Looks like you're having dinner at my house." Bra said smiling. "Yep." I said. "Hey, Goten wanna stay the night?" "Looks like I'm staying the night also." I smiled and Bra reached for my hand. The ship landed and I stood up and opened the door. "Thanks, Goten." Marron said climbing in. "Wait, where are we." I looked out the door and checked the view. "We're at my house." Marron said taking my spot next to Bra. 'I'll just stand.' I thought looking out the window. "Looks like a real big storm is headed our way." I said to anyone who was listening. 'Goten. Can you hear me?' a voice said in my head. 'Dende? What are you doing in my head?' I asked the voice. 'I just thought you might want to see your dad before he leaves.' 'Hell yes, I do.' "I'll be right back!" I yelled opening the door and flying out.

Trunks ran to the door and shut it quickly. "Goten!" Mom yelled looking out the window. I turned Super Saiyan and flew as fast as I could to the lookout tower. As soon as I got there I embarrassed my father. "Please, take me with you." I begged. Father got a sad look on his face. Vegeta walked over to me and pulled me off to the side. "Listen, Goten, my baby girl is down there. And I'm putting you in charge of watching her. If anything happens to her I'll be ready to completely blame you." "Threats aren't going to make me stay..." I stopped realizing something. "Bra.." I whispered. "Yes boy, she is waiting for you. Now say bye and head on down."

"Good-bye everyone!" I yelled as they all entered a ship. As soon as they left I turned to Dende. "So...What's up with the clouds?" I asked. "I'm having a feeling something bad is going to happen. I'm just setting the mood." He said calmly. "Something bad?! With dad and Gohan?" I yelled. "No, the other group. You better get going. Chi-chi is getting mad. Just meet them at Capsule Corp." "Thank you, Dende." I yelled running to the edge and jumping off. I flew fast to Trunks' house to try and beat the others. I landed looking around. 'No ship, I guess I did beat them.'

Just as I walked in the house I heard the ship land. "Goten?" Bra called as she entered the house. I jumped on the couch and looked up at everyone. "Where have you been?" I asked breathing hard. "Oh, shut up. I know you just got here. You had your ki flared up." Bra said pushing my legs off the couch and sitting. "Goten!" Where have you been?" Mom yelled running in the room. "Dende contacted me and said dad wanted to say bye. When you came to get us we didn't have a chance to say 'bye'." I said.

"I'm sorry Goten." Mom said hugging me. "While they're gone you two are going to have a tutor. He once tutored Gohan and look at him now." Bulma said. I looked at her. "Mom! Gohan told us about him. I don't want him "tutoring" me." Trunks argued. "I already told him to come and he's bringing an assistant because there are two of you." My mom added. "Hey, mom, I think I need some help with my studies also. Can I use that tutor guy with the guys?" Bra asked. Bulma notice how close Bra was sitting to me and agreed. "Anyone else? Pan, Marron do you girls want to also?" Videl asked. "Why not? Got nothin else ta do." Pan answered and Marron nodded.

"Well, he's coming tomorrow." Bulma said walking into the kitchen to make dinner. 'I wonder if that was the bad Dende was talking about.' I thought standing and following Trunks to his room. We walked down the many halls of the house. All of sudden Pan ran up behind me and shoved me into the wall. "You're it!" she yelled as she ran off. "It?" I whispered. I jumped at Trunks and tagged him before he could jump away. I ran down the hall and hid in a closet.

"Marron is it!" Trunks yelled running passed where I was hiding. I ran out of the closet. As soon as I turned the corner Marron jumped on me. I fell back and it looked like Marron was straddling me. Which she was. We were both laughing and I looked up to see a very disgusted Bra looking right at us. "Uh, oh." Marron said getting off me. "Bra it's not what you think." I said walking towards her. "Get away from me." She said walking to the kitchen. She sat on a chair and awaited her food. Trunks and I walked in. "Here you go, boys. Now go to your room and play Nintendo." Bulma said. I looked at Bra. 'This must be the bad he was talking about.' I thought. Trunks and I left the room. "Mom! I'm going for a walk." I heard Bra yell just before the door slammed. "I guess Pan and Marron followed." Trunks said looking around.

"Maybe we should follow, I mean it's dangerous out there." I said pulling on one of Trunks' jackets. "Whatever." Trunks put one on also. "Mom, we're going to follow them, just to make sure they're safe." I yelled. We followed to the school, the river, and downtown. "They're going in an alley." I said. "Yeah, I saw them." He said. We ran to where they entered. Pan was lying on the ground and Marron jumped into Trunks' arms. "It was awful. They hit Pan and Bra and dragged Bra away." She said sobbing. "Trunk stay here with Pan, I'll get Bra back." I entered the door Marron had pointed at.

I heard screams and then felt Bra's ki. "Bra!" I yelled running at the first door I saw. I looked in and saw Bra in a corner and a man holding a dagger and walking towards her. I jumped at him and chopped his neck. "Goten!" she jumped up. "He used handcuffs and I was too weak from the blow to the head to get them off." I grabbed the guys' necklace and tore it off him. It had a key on it and I tried the lock on the 'cuffs. "Hey, who are you?" some guy asked. I pick up Bra and pushed him aside and walked out.

"Trunks, pick up Pan and carry her home." I looked and Marron. "Hey, can you fly yet?" I asked. "Well, my landings need some work but yeah." She replied. "Okay well, let's go home." I said taking flight. Pan slowly woke up. "Are you okay?" Trunks asked slowly. All she did was hold on to Trunks tighter. When we got back to the house I brought Bra to her room. "What happened to my baby?" Bulma asked pushing me aside. "Some guys attacked her. And I promised Vegeta I would protect her, so I'm going back there to kick his..." I trailed off noticing mom in the corner. I ran out the door, grabbing Trunks.

We flew out the front door before Videl knew Pan was hurt. "Trunks, we need to find those creeps and get them back." "I know and I really want to change to Gotenks but they're too weak for a good beating. Unless..." Trunks got an evil grin on his face. "Let's just scare them." I finished his sentence. We stopped in mid flight. Trunks put one hand on my chest and I did the same. There was a big flash and out popped Gotenks. We flew off and broke into the door of their hideout. We grabbed the one that forced Bra onto her knees. "If you ever even talk to that girl again, I will personally kill you and everyone else here. You would die a slow and painful death. Do you understand me, boy?" The me part of Gotenks asked and threw him through the wall.

Then the fusion wore off. "And if I don't kill you, he will." I pointed at Trunks. "Did you hit the other girl?" he asked. "No, no...it wasn't me. Johnny!" he yelled. "What?" A man yelled back. "Get your ass down here now." the other yelled. Johnny jumped the stairs and looked at Trunks and I. "Who are you?" he asked. "Did you hit the black hared girl?" I asked. He nodded and leaned against the doorway. Trunks closed his eyes and powered down from Super Saiyan form. His purple hair fell to his shoulder. Eye's still closed Trunks lunged at Johnny and backhanded him through a different wall. "Our work here is done." I powered up a ki blast and shot it through the roof. Trunks and I flew through the newly formed hole in the roof.

"What do you say we go check up on our ladies?" Trunks asked. He returned to SS form and we flew as fast as we could back to the house. When we got back Pan and Marron were watching TV. "Where's Bra?" I asked. "Oh, Goten, she passed out right after you left." Marron said. I ran to her room and inside I saw what looked like 'Sleeping Beauty' or 'Snow White'. "Bra?" I cautiously walked inside. "Are you okay?" I pulled up a chair and put it next to Bra's bed. "The princess is awakened with a kiss." A woman said. "Bulma?" I turned to see all the women, Videl, mom, Bulma and 18.

"Well, here goes nothing." I said leaning down to Bra. When our lips met I could feel my whole body tingle. When I released I saw her open her eyes "Goten?" she asked feeling my cheek. "Awww." Came from the crowd behind me. Her blue eyes focused on me and she gave me a hug. "Thank you so much for following us." She said. "Well, I think I'm going to go retire to bed. Good night everyone." I said lightly kissing Bra on the forehead. As soon as I got to Trunks' room I passed out. (Fell asleep)

The next day...

"Trunks, Goten, Pan, Marron, Bra get up, you need to go to Chi-Chi's house and work with the tutor!" Bulma yelled. I woke first. Bra was lying on my chest. "Bra." I whispered in her ear. "It's time to go. We need to get up." She woke up and kicked Trunks and said the same to him. Same pattern with Marron and Pan and then we were all up. We got dressed and hopped in the van. Trunks and I got the double seat while the girls sat in the back. "I hope he doesn't bring his whip." Trunks whispered. I nodded and turned back to talk with Bra.
The tutor
When we arrived at the house the tutor was standing outside with his assistant. Mom said we would be studying in Gohan's room. When he moved we changed it into a studying area (rarely used by anyone, dad and I wanted to put weights in there). I studied the assistant. He was tall, very buff and had tanned skin. He stood with his hands behind his back. And he was holding a bag. "What's in the bag?" I asked. "Books." The tutor said.

We walked to the room and the tutor shut/locked the door. This time, he sweet talked mom into leaving and heading to Bulma's house, leaving us alone with him. He reached into the bag and pulled out the whip. "We're screwed." I said under my breath. "Okay everyone, I'm Mr. Lee. Now Sit Down And Get To Work!" he yelled. 'It's been an hour and he still hasn't used the whip. What was Gohan talking about? No, he wouldn't lie to me, would he?' I thought

The chairs were set up so that we faced the wall. I sat on one end then Trunks, Marron, Pan, and Bra. Just then Bra leaned in; she looked at me, smiled and waved. I smiled and waved back. She turned back and giggled with Pan and Marron. Trunks sighed as I shrugged. "Silence fools." Lee said cocking back the whip. 'NO!' I stood up. "Hey, don't hit her!" I yelled. "Sit, boy." The whip hit my arm, there was a sharp pain and then it went numb. "Goten, you're bleeding." Trunks said wiping some blood from my arm to show me. "I don't care." I said holding my wound. I sat down.

The whip cracked again. "OWWW!" Pan yelled in pain. "That's it." I said standing again. Trunks grabbed me and I looked down at him. He shook his head. "Why not?" I asked. He shook his head again. I gave him a funny look and sat down. "Not yet." He said. A while passed and Bra stood up. I don't get how to do this." She said. "Quiet woman!" Lee said. He cocked his whip again. I jumped and caught the whip before it hit her. "Sit boy." He said.

I pulled the whip away from him and threw it out the window. His assistant grabbed me from behind. He pulled my arms behind my back as Lee picked up my chair. He broke off one of the legs. "This will teach you boy." He said swinging it. I closed my eyes. I heard a thud of the wood hitting something. But it wasn't me.

I opened my eyes to see Bra lying at my feet. She had jumped in front of me and taken the blow. "NO!" I yelled going Super Saiyan. The assistant was shocked and he released his grip. I jumped up and kicked him in the stomach. I then jumped to Lee and kicked the leg out of his hand. I grabbed the front of his shirt and hoisted him into the air. "Don't ever touch her again." I growled at him. I couldn't stand to look at him anymore. So, I threw him out the window.

Just then Bulma and mom's heads poked threw the door. "I knew you liked her! I told you!" Bulma yelled pointing at mom. "This was all a set up?!" I yelled. "I had to prove to your mother that you liked my baby." Bulma quivered. I shot both of them a glare as I brought Bra to my bed. "How could you not tell us?" I heard Trunks talking to his mom outside my room. "We needed to know and under pressure was the best way. We knew Mr. Lee would bring a whip and knew Goten would kill if he saw Bra hurt.

"Please wake up." I said stroking Bra's sky blue hair. "Goten, honey you're bleeding." Mom ran into the room. "Yes I know." I said still mad at her. "And another thing..." I heard Videl's voice outside. "What's Videl doing?" I asked mom. "She's beating up Mr. Lee. She found the mark on Pan's back, which is getting cleaned by Trunks right now." She replied. "G.... G...Goten...?" Bra stuttered. "Bra. I'm here. Are you okay?" asked raising her head. "Yes, I'm fine." I helped her stand and we walked downstairs to Bulma's great cooking.

"About a month has passed and still no word from anyone." I said kicking a rock in the lake from the cliff dad used to take Gohan and me all the time. "They're probably all right, Goten. You just need to be patient." Bra said rubbing my hair. 'Again with the hair, and again Trunks is right there. Rub His Hair!' I yelled in my head. "What's that?" Trunks looked up into the bright blue sky. A large metal object was falling from the sky. "Do you think it's...It is, it is them!" I said jumping for joy.

"No, it's just they're ship." Trunks said. "I can't feel anyone's ki. Can you?" Trunks turned to me. I lowered and shook my head. "It's going to hit right here!" I yelled seeing it get bigger and bigger. We all jumped as the ship fell past us and into the lake. I jumped in to retrieve it. Trunks followed with Bra and Pan close behind. Marron wasn't strong enough to help, or even fly straight yet.

We pulled it up and pushed it out of the lake. I walked over and kicked the door. "Dad?" I asked peering through. "I told you no one is..." he trailed off seeing Vegeta lying on the floor of the ship. "Father!" Bra yelled running in. "We got to get him to the rehabilitation tank." I said looking at Trunks. We all picked up a part of Vegeta and started to fly towards Capsule Corp.

"Bring him down here." Bulma said as soon as we got there. We ran downstairs and placed him into the tank. Bra brought chair down stairs and set it next to the tank. 'Vegeta. Wake up.' I thought. I walked to the kitchen. Bulma was crying and mom was trying to comfort her. "Shh, it's going to be okay. He's going to wake." Mom said. "It's not Vegeta I'm worried about. It's Bra, She hasn't eaten or slept since they brought him yesterday. She hasn't even left the basement." Bulma said.

"Goten, will you go down and check on her?" Mom asked. "I was just down there, she isn't moving an inch." I said. "Can you bring her food?" Bulma asked. "Anything to help." I said, picking up the tray. "Such a sweet boy." She said, rubbing my hair. But surprisingly I didn't get mad. I walked to the door and sighed heavily.

"Bra?" I asked, opening the door slowly. "I brought you food, if you want it." I called from the top of the stairs. She simply shook her head. "Well, it's up here if you..." I sensed a ki slowly rise. 'V...Vegeta?' I thought. I walked down the stairs and stood next to Bra. She stood, "Daddy?" she asked rubbing the tank. "B...B..Bra?" Vegeta's eyes slowly opened. Because Trunks and I make Gotenks we share thoughts. So, to get his attention I thought to him. 'Trunks hurry. Vegeta is waking up!' As soon as I finished that he ran down the stairs.

"Dad?" he said opening the tank. "Trunks? How am I here? What happened to Kakorot?" He asked. "You came back in the ship and were passed out." I said. "I don't know what happened. We stepped out of the ship and some people jumped us. They were all wearing cloaks so we couldn't tell who they were. They were too strong. I was thrown back into the ship like they wanted me to come back here." He explained.

"We have to go help them." I said. "Right, in five days we will go." Vegeta said. Trunk and I ran to his room. "We're going to need new suits. This is going to be a fun battle." I said. LATER...

"Trunks, you ready yet?" I asked. Trunks was in his room changing into his new suit. "I saw me wearing this in a dream once." he said walking out. His suit consisted of: yellow and black boots, dark blue pants, a black tank top and a blue coat with a Capsule Corp. symbol on it. "Wow, that is a lot different from the green gi and red belt you wore all the time." I said stepping into the room. I stepped out of the room wearing Gohan's old suit.

"Gohan wore this during the Cell Games." I said pulling the weighted cape on. "He sowed in my symbol also; then gave it to me." I said. "Time to train." Trunks said walking to the gravity chamber. When we opened the door we saw two figures fighting. "Super Saiyans?" I said looking in. The two figures were indeed Super Saiyans but both female. 'Bra and Pan?' I thought. 'No way...How?' "Goten, Trunks?!" Bra gasped. "You...You both?" I stuttered. "Well, yeah. And we are working on a new technique." Bra placed her hands on Pan's shoulders as Pan did the same. "Fusion." Trunks said. A flash of light and then a figure popped out. "Call us Bran." She said. "You...you fused." I said; mouth gapped open. "Yes, we spent a year in the time chamber to get to level 1 of Super Saiyan." "When was this?" I asked.

"You two took a whole day to figure out what you were going to wear." She said. "Yeah, but we look cool." I said. "How bout we spar?" Trunks said. Trunks and I turned level one of Super Saiyan and fused. "Gotenks vs. Bran. You want me to get Vegeta?" Marron asked standing alone. "Yeah." I said. Vegeta arrived not believing that his baby has fused. "Bra?" he asked coming in. "It's Bran." She said. "So you're the reason Dende wouldn't let me into the time chamber." He said grinning.

"Well, as Prince of the Saiyans I say: Begin!" he said. Bran lunged at me. I disappeared right as she got close enough. I appeared behind her and kicked her in the back. She turned and shot a ki blast at me. I jumped out of the way before it hit. 'We are at the same in strength.' I thought. 'I know. What can we do?' Trunks thought. We fought and fought until we were too weak to attack. Bran was doing the same.

Bran was now on her knees trying to recover from the last ki blast I shot. 'Finish with a jump kick.' I thought to Trunks. As we flew down to kick Bran grabbed our feet. Bran picked us up and threw us back down. With a last effort I shot a ki blast at her stomach and crashed into the floor. Bran was hit by the blast and she fell also. Both fusion's wore off after we fell.

Trunks woke grasping his right arm. I woke holding my ribs together. Pan was rubbing her head and Bra rubbing her left arm. "Good." Vegeta stood clapping. "So, can we go help you get the others back?" Bra begged. "Yes, with you all able to fuse you will be a great help." Vegeta said. 'He's being nice?! Something's not right.' I thought. Vegeta picked us up one by one and took us to bed.

"Three days left." I said to myself, waking up first. I walked through the many halls to the kitchen. "I don't know how to explain it... We were jumped and I was kicked back into the ship." I heard Vegeta in the kitchen. "Like, they wanted you to come back here for some reason." Bulma said. "What could they want?" I asked myself before I entered. "Hi all." I said. Vegeta stared at me. "Are you going to be ready?" He asked. "Sure. Are you?" I asked sitting. "How long did it take you to advance to level 2?" I asked. "That depends on how much determination you put into it, boy." He said walking to the gravity room.

"He means well." Bulma said. "I know, you want me to go wake Trunks?" I asked her. "Sure, get Pan and Bra while you're there." I nodded and walk back through the labyrinth of halls. I arrived in Trunks' room and kicked his leg. "Hey, get up." I said. "Shut up." He said throwing a pillow at me. "Just get up." I threw it back. "Bra, Pan get up!" Trunks yelled as we walked past her room. "Goten, Trunks, are the girls up? I need to talk to you." Bulma asked.

"What's up mom?" Bra asked. "This thing, whatever it was that threw Vegeta back into the ship. It wants you all. Apparently it has fought all the other Z fighters when you weren't even born yet." She said. "Whatever it is, I want you to be careful." "Mom, we'll be back." Trunks said. "Yeah, nobody can beat Gotenks." I said smiling. "Except Bran." Pan said. "You guys, do we really need the other three days?" Bra asked.

Trunks opened the door on Vegeta's training. "Father, we're ready." 'We'll never be ready.' I thought. "Good. Our ship is on Dende's lookout tower." He began. "Listen, Kakorot showed everyone how to do this. It is only right to show all of you. Focus your energy on somewhere you really want to be. Clear your mind and go." He said. I opened my eyes and looked around. 'I'm home.' I thought. "Mom, come here quick." I said. She came running out of her room. "Mom, I'm leaving today. I'm going to get Gohan and dad back." I said. "Be careful." She said hugging me tight.

I used the instant transmission to go to Dende's lookout. "The ship is in the exact same spot. They are waiting for you. Good luck." Dende said as we entered the ship. "It should take us about three hours to get there. We installed a faster engine." Vegeta said. I put my headphones on and meditated. Trunks looked out the window that faced earth the whole time. While Vegeta, on the other hand, looked out the window that faced the ship.

"Thirty minutes!" Vegeta called out. I took my headphones off and walked to the door. " Goten, do you see that giant black thing out there?" Vegeta asked. I nodded. "That's the ship." "Wow. It's huge, how are we going to find everyone?"

"Vegeta, What kind of power level does he have?" I asked. "Goten, I know just as much as you know about him." As soon as we got off the ship about 50 little green guys surrounded us. "What the heck are these things?" I asked. "Saiba Men." Vegeta answered.

"So do we give in or fight?" Bra asked. "FIGHT!!!" I yelled. Right as I did three Saiba men attacked me. I wasn't ready so I jumped back. But as soon as my feet touched the ground I was kicked in the back. As I flew forward still stunned by the hit another hit me on the top of the head sending me face first on the cold metal floor. I was pissed. I got up and with one powerful hit knocked ones head off. It wasn't pretty.

After doing this nine more times I got a little tried, not enough to call it quits though. We started walking. It seemed the walkway would never end. But as luck would have, it did. We walked through the doors we saw at the end. The room was pitch black. When the light turned on we found that there were hundreds of the Saiba men. I looked around. Back and forth making sure there were no surprise attacks.

When I made the first kill I thought how many more could be in this ship. I figured why not go faster and get this over with. I lunged at three more and knocked all their heads together. There were the times when they would get good hits on me.

I got this idea so I ran to the middle of the room and powered up. When I was done I shot in every direction hitting all saiba men. When the smoke cleared I looked around to find Trunks, Vegeta, Bra and Pan. They all popped out with blood from the saiba men on them. "Nice." Trunks said. In the far corner of the room there was a door labeled prisoners. We walked in and I heard a voice coming from one of the cells.

"Hello, who's there?" he asked. "It is me, Goten." I said walking to the front of the cell. I saw someone that I never thought I would see again. "Goten?" he said standing. "Gohan!" I yelled running at him. I gave him a big hug and he told me about the others. I walked to each cell releasing everyone. Krillin, Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien, and Chotzu. "You are all here." I said. "There is one more cell." Gohan said smiling. I ran to the last cell to find yet another loved one. "Father, you were captured too?" I said jumping into his arms.

"Goten, look in those cells over there. I thought I heard something earlier." My father said. I walked over slowly to the last three cells. "I've never seen these three before." I yelled back. "It looks like a young Kakorot." One of the men said. "Nap..?" Vegeta said stuttering. "Nap?" Trunks said. "Nappa? You're bodyguard?" Trunks ran to the cell. I shot a beam and knocked off the lock. All three of the men walked out and showed who they were.

"Nappa, Radditz, Bardock. What are you three doing here?" "What a touching family reunion." A voice from the shadows speaks. "Who's there?" Gohan called. The figure moved into the light and revealed who he was. "Cell! Perfect Cell!" I yelled. "That's not all." Another figure said stepping into the light. "Freeza, and evil Piccolo. There's Garlic Jr.!" Vegeta yelled. "And look, the henchmen, The Spice Boys and The Ginyu Squad." Goku said. "Looks like that's it." Pan said.

"Not, really." Another voice said. "King Cold, Cooler. You are here too. And another Super Saiyan? Bring it on!" I yelled going Super Saiyan. Trunks, Pan, Bra and Gohan did the same. Then Goku, Vegeta and even Radditz, Nappa, and Bardock. "They are all super saiyans?" Freeza yelled. Gohan lunged at Cell. "This time you die for good!" He yelled.

Tournament/Training

"Stop!" Goku yelled. Gohan had stopped in mid flight inches away from Cell. "I agree, not here. Let us have a tournament." King Cold said. "Eight on eight, pick your best fighters. Who ever wins gets earth." Freeza said grinning. "Nev..." I began. "Agreed." Vegeta interrupted. The trip home did not take long at all. When we got there my father put a set of numbers, 1 to 8, in one hat. And did the same for another hat.

Freeza took one hat back to the other bad guys. "Father, what will happen if you get set up with someone like Garlic Jr.?" I asked. "Son, in a way you and Gohan are both stronger than me...and I'm not saying that just to make you feel good." He said rubbing my head. "All right, everyone pick!" Goku yelled. "Another thing father, Trunks and I are going as Gotenks and Pan and Bra are going as Bran." I said

Everyone picked. "When I call your name tell me your number. Along with you bad guys also. "Gohan." He called. "Three"
"Gotenks"
"Eight"

"Who is Gotenks?" Freeza whispered

"Vegeta"
"Two"

"Bardock"
"Four"

"Radditz"
"Five"

"Nappa"
"Seven"

"Bran"
"Six"
"Bran?!" King Cold said.

"Brolly"
"One"

"Piccolo Dimai"
"Five"

"Cell"
"Three

"Garlic Jr."
"Six"

"Freeza"
"Four"

"Cooler"
"Two"

"Captain Ginyu"
"Seven"

"King Cold"
"Eight"

"Okay it looks like the fights go as followed, the 1st match will be Goku and Brolly," Dende said gathering the notes he took. "The 2nd will be Vegeta and Cooler, 3rd Gohan and Cell." At this point everyone gasped. They all knew it was Gohan, at age 11, who actually beat Cell in the cell games. Gohan grinned, knowing his and Cell's powers have increased greatly and he wanted a good fight.

"In the 4th it will be Bardock and Freeza, 5th Radditz and Piccolo Dimai, 6th Bran and Garlic Jr., 7th Nappa and Captain Ginyu, and the 8th and final battle will be Gotenks and King Cold." Dende finished. Cold folded his arms and starred at Trunks and me. I looked back at him and glared while Trunks stuck his tongue out at him. "The tournament will begin in exactly two weeks!" Dende yelled. "We will train in our space ship and return in two weeks. And will not attack this planet. Though it will be tempting." Cooler said entering the ship. The others followed. "Oh, this will be called the Cell Games 2. And we will fight by my rules." Cooler yelled before the ship took off.

"Everyone, we have fourteen days to train for this, we could move some beds into the hyperbolic time chamber and all train in there at once. Let's go!" Goku flew away with everyone close behind. I wondered if King Cold is going to be a lot stronger then us. I thought, landing on Dende palace. Once we moved the beds inside we all entered. "Okay, in here we can all get a years training in a day. Everyone pick a sparring partner and we shall begin." Goku had picked Vegeta or the other way around. It didn't matter, everyone knew that they were the strongest. And Bra chose Pan.

Gohan and Bardock began sparring already. "Son against Grandfather." I said. "Well I guess it's me and you." Nappa said patting me on the back. I turned to see a seven-foot tall man hover above me. "Where's Trunks?" I said trying to back out of fighting him. I looked over to see a young purple haired boy sparring with Radditz. "Darn you, Trunks!" I whispered under my breath. "Let's get going." Nappa said.

I went Super Saiyan. "Okay," I said, getting in fighting stance. "Let's start like regular Saiyans," he said. Now Nappa is bald. So how can he turn Super Saiyan? Better word usage, how can anyone tell? I know for a fact that Nappa is stronger than I am in regular form. But I can still try, right?

"GO!" he yelled, jumping at me. I dodged it by leapfrogging over him. As soon as I landed he kicked me in the back. I flew forward but the gravity in the chamber caused me to slowly fall onto the ground. I staggered to my feet. "Where'd he go?" I couldn't sense him. "Uh, oh." I turned around to meet a fist to my chin.

"That's it!" I yelled going Super Saiyan. I jumped at his head and kicked him. He flew back. As he stood I could see a slight blue in his eyes. And his mustache was yellow. "Oh, Kia." I said, "You may be able to beat me in regular Saiyan form. But try me now!" I yelled. He came at me with a right; I dodged it and kneed him in the stomach. Leaning down I elbowed him in the head straight down into a kick. He flew back and hit the ground hard. I dropped to my knees breathing hard. "Good Goten, now continue." Father said. The whole group had stopped sparring and was watching me and the seven-foot Nappa fight. "Get up, Nappa. You are an elite. Beat this pathetic excuse for a Saiyan!" Vegeta yelled.

I turned to Vegeta and shot him a glare. Long enough for Nappa to regain posture and kick me straight in the head. "Focus on Nappa, not Vegeta!" Trunks yelled. I stood up and lost him again. "No, where is he?" I was tripped from the side and it all went down hill from there. He grabbed my foot and flew into the air. As soon as he got high enough he threw me back down. I realized what had just happened when it was too late. I hit the hard hot floor of the chamber with a loud thud. "Finish him!" Vegeta yelled.

Nappa flew straight down, trying to land on my head. I moved just before he landed. He kicked me in the stomach and I flew into the air. When I got high enough he punched me in the ribs. I, again, landed hard. I stood up to see him with his arms folded and a smile on his face. 'Shit, how can I beat him?' I asked myself. 'Boy, I hope we have those stupid beans here. This is gonna hurt." I jumped at him but he merely moved to the side.

He chopped at my arm. I could only flinch. "Goten!" Trunks yelled. Now, I had a broken rib and broken arm to his bruise. Something clicked inside me. 'This was exactly like the Cell/Gohan fight. Cell broke Gohan's arm, but Gohan still won.' I jumped right at Nappa for a kick to the head. He snatched my leg right out of the air and flew up about 100 yards up. 'Of course I'm Goten, not Gohan.' Again he threw me to the ground and again my body made a loud thud. I could hear Nappa yelling.

I looked up to see a large ki blast coming right at me. I put my useable hand out in front of me to block the attack. 'Damn, he's way stronger than I thought. And this is only day one. Geez, I have a lot of training to do.' I thought. I couldn't take it anymore. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!" I yelled. I felt my power soar to new heights. "KA.....ME....HA....ME....." I began. "HHAAA!!" I released the most powerful kamehameha attack I have ever had. "NNOOO!!" Nappa and Vegeta yelled in unison.

The kamehameha shot him up another 50 yards. He stopped the upward soar and began to fall. "Big boom." I said passing out. "Goten, Goten are you okay?" A voice said. My eyes opened to see seven blurs around me. "I'm fine." I said looking around; trying to focus. "Really, because you have a broken rib, your right arm is broken, and you got a cut on your cheek." Bra said. They all helped me stand up, my free arm holding my rib. "Where's Nappa?" I asked looking around, "And Vegeta?" "Vegeta is giving Nappa a lecture." Trunks said smiling. "A commoner defeated an elite." Bardock said rubbing my head.

"Goten, we need to train as Gotenks." Trunks said. "Gohan, could you help us train?" I asked him. "I guess so. But you'll have to take it easy on me." He said smiling. "Wait, if we fight King Cold as Gotenks what would happen if the fusion wore off?" We all pondered the question but eventually shrugged it off. Trunks and I fused together and got in fighting stances facing Gohan.

Through the year we all have trained a lot. Trunks finally managed to get to level 2 and Gohan is at 2.5. Vegeta and dad are at level 3. Nappa, Radditz and Bardock are at 2 only because of Cooler's wish, or so I was told and Pan and Bra are both at 1.5 and rising. We all walked out of the Time Chamber. Ripped clothes and all. "Gohan, you're out." Dende said as soon as he saw Gohan.

"Afternoon, Dende." He said in reply. "Dad, can Trunks and me go swimming?" I asked. He nodded and smiled. "Race you!" Trunks yelled taking off. I flew close behind. "We're going too!" Bra yelled with Pan close behind her. "Trunks, we got followers!" I yelled. "Well...hurry." Was all he said in reply. I saw Trunks get farther out in front of me. "Hey, wait up!" I yelled and he slowed down. "Thanks." I said zooming past him. "Goten!" he yelled as Bra and Pan pasted him.

I touched down on the cliff above the lake. Bra and Pan landed just after me with Trunks pulling up the rear. I took what was left of my shirt off and jumped off the cliff. Trunks followed doing a cannon ball. Bra and Pan stared down at us. "Well, are you coming in?" I called from the lake. "We don't have our suits here." Pan called back. I raised my fingers to my forehead and thought of Bulma's house. "Be right back!" I called and vanished.

I arrived at Capsule Corp. in no time. "Bulma?!" I called walking into the kitchen. "Yes? Oh, Goten it's you. Where are the others?" she asked looking behind me. "Oh, they're still at the lake. I just need to get Bra and Pan some swim suits. Do you know where they would be?" I asked. "Yeah they were just washed, check in the basement." She said. I ran to the stairs and swung open the door to see my dad and Vegeta...playing cards?!

"Hey dad, hey Vegeta. How's it going?" I asked, hopping down the stairs. Vegeta hid his cards, "Just discussing tactic." He said. "K. Um...Do you know where Bra's and Pan's swim suits are?" I asked him. "How would I know that, boy?!" "Okay, calm down your majesty." Said grinning; grabbing the suits. "That's enough, Goten. So, Vegeta, you got any three's?" Dad said. I grinned and used the instant transmission to get back to the lake. "Miss me?" said throwing the suits at the girls. "Thanks." Pan said. I jumped off the cliff, "No Problem!" I yelled just before I hit. Pan and Bra put their suits on, on the top of the cliff.

"Just go away!" Bra yelled. "Uh oh." I said, flying out of the water. "But Bra, I've changed." A man said. "Get off!" she yelled. I stopped flying right before the edge so it looked like I was climbing you the cliff. "Hey!" I yelled, seeing the same guy that was in the ally. "It's you." He said, pulling out a gun. "You're dead." I said, walking towards him. "No my friend. You are dead." He fired the gun. I put my hand out in front of me.

I stopped the bullet in mid flight. "You're dead." I said again. My ki flared and the bullet was shot back at him. He fell to one knee clenching his arm. "I told you I would kill you. Well, you got lucky today." I said picking him up by the collar of his shirt. "You make me sick." I punched him in the face. As he fell back, I kicked him and he flew off the cliff. "Incoming!" I yelled down at Trunks. Trunks let the guy hit. "That had to hurt." Pan said looking over the edge.

He climbed out of the water and crawled away. "So...later." I said jumping in again.
