"I'm positive, Danny. I can't land anywhere around."

"I've got an idea, land at home and come back in my car. The keys are on my bedside table. Get your butt back here ASAP."

"OK." Mike disappeared from view. Five minutes later, my car pulled up nearby. Mike got out of the car.

"OK, leave the car door open. I'm gonna lay Goten down on the back seat. Put the passenger seat down flat and Trunks can go there." I said.

"And what about me?" Mike asked.

"Sit with Goten, god! He isn't that tall!" I joked.

As soon as we got home, Goku was waiting there.

"What happened to them?" Goku asked, casually.

"Your pal got them" I answered.

"Which pal are we talking about here?"

"Vegeta."

"No! He wouldn't hurt his own son!" Goku said, stunned.

"Don't count on it. What I heard from Trunks earlier, he is capable of doing such a thing. Plus, he'd what to hurt Goten worse 'cos he hates you and you're family name

"Yeah, but why doesn't he just come after me?" Goku asked, holding his head, puzzled.

"Because you've already proven to him that you are stronger than he is."

"So he goes for the weak ones, I get it! But Trunks looks like he's been shot. Vegeta wouldn't need to use a gun."

"Yeah, but what if he paid someone to do the dirty job for him?"

"Who would do that? Money is no object in this place!"

"I know someone who would. You said money is no object, and I know that, but I also know, only know, one person that would want fame and power. Hercule Satan!"

"You're right. Hercule is a bit of a glory hog. He's too predictable." Goku answered.

"I'm gonna go now. "Mike said, walking out of the door.

"OK, thanks for all your help!" I shouted. Trunks then came round and started to groan at the injury he'd sustained. His eyes were showing the pain he was in. I ran over to him and put my hand lightly on the wound, which was still bleeding.

"I'm gonna kill that glory hog for doing this to you!" I said. I was feeling hurt myself because I absolutely hate it when Goten and/or Trunks are injured. I treat them like they were two of my own.

"Goku, there is only one way we can stop this. Your friend's healing powers." I explained.

"Who? Dende?" Goku asked, confused.

"Yeah, but how are we gonna get them to the lookout?"

"I'll get us there by instant transmission." Goku said.

"What's that?" I asked.

"It's kinda like teleportation." Goku said, "Put Goten's arm and Trunks' arm together. Then, you hold on to Goten with one arm, and with your other, hold on to me." So I did just that. Then, Goku put two fingers to his forehead, and a couple of seconds later, we were at the lookout! I looked around, amazed. I couldn't believe what we had just done.

"Danny, stay with the boys, make sure they're OK. I'm gonna go find Dende." Goku shouted as he ran off. Trunks was still groaning in pain.

"Danny, when…is…the pain…gonna…stop?" Trunks struggled to say.

"Soon, kid. Just hang in there." I answered, holding my hand on the gunshot wound, which was still pouring with blood. I knew that it was still bleeding, because it was leaking through my hand. I turned my head to check how Goten was getting on. The wound Goten had sustained had stopped bleeding, but he was still knocked out cold. I looked at the wound. It was a very deep cut, that deep, you could actually see the bone at the base of the cut and it looked like the bone had been broken by the impact.

"How's Goten, where…is…he?" Trunks asked.

"Can you move your head at all?" I asked him. He nodded lightly. "Well look to your left." Trunks turned his head slowly. He closed his eyes tight to indicate the pain he was in. As soon as he had finished turning his head, he opened his eyes.

"GOTEN! What…have they…done to…him?"

"It's OK, calm down."

"It isn't…OK. Look at him…He's…hurt."

"Same as you then. Don't worry, though. As soon as Dende gets here, you'll both be alright."

"Promise…"

"Yeah, kid. I promise." Just then, Goku came back, Dende closely following behind.

"Danny, could you just come here for a min?" Goku asked. I walked to Goku and we turned our backs to Dende and the boys.

"Are you sure it was Vegeta that did this?" Goku asked.

"Positive…Mikey got them red handed. He saw Vegeta power blast Goten, but we don't know who shot Trunks. It wasn't Hercule, because he was on TV when it happened." I said. Just then, I felt someone tapping my shoulder, so I turned around…and Goten and Trunks were stood there, with no wounds or injuries! I picked Goten up and sat him on my shoulders, feeling happy and proud.

"You kept you're promise then!" Trunks said.

"Don't I always!" I answered.

That night, I walked up the stairs to my bed, absolutely shattered! Tired was an understatement to describe how I was that night! Trunks was staying over, so all that we heard all night was either 'No! I won that time!' or 'You cheated!' etc. etc. As I climbed into bed, I heard a noise from Goten's bedroom. It sounded kinda like fingernails being scratched on a blackboard. I went to see what was going on. The boys were alright. They were also asleep, so it couldn't have been them that made the noise. Thinking it was just my imagination, I went back to bed. Suddenly, I heard the voice of a male adult. So I ran back to Goten's room (again). Still, no sign of life…well…apart from the asleep boys that is. I ignored that and went to bed. Just then, I heard Goten's voice. I ran back to his room (again again). Goten was sat on the floor, holding his head.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"Yeah, must have been a bad dream." Goten answered, climbing to his feet.

"Alright then, come on. Back to bed." I said. While Goten was climbing into bed, I checked to see if Trunks was alright. He was sleeping like a log. As soon as Goten was in bed, I backed out of his room.

"'Night kiddo." I said.

"'Night Danny." Goten answered.

I closed the door behind me. As soon as I got into bed, I thought to myself. If I was Goku, I should be really proud to have a son like Goten. He's loyal, kind, helpful. Sometimes, I really wished Goten and Trunks were my own two sons. With that thought safely out of my mind, I fell asleep.

The next day was like any other day. Sun was shining, birds singing, the whole boring fairy story scenario. The only difference was, we was woke up by a very, very loud shout from Goten.

"DANNY! MY VIDEO GAMES HAVE DISAPPEARED!"

"You what!?" I asked, concerned.

"My video games are gone and there's a massive hole in my window!"

"Well, didn't you hear anything, or see anything last night?" I asked.

"No, I've been asleep all night." Goten said, innocently.

"Apart from the time you fell outta bed, and the window was still intact then."

"Yeah, but I haven't got any video games now!" Goten said, tears in his eyes.

"Don't worry about that. We can get you another games console later. All we need to know is why did he take just your video games and nothing else?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You'll see. Let's take a look at this window."

When we got to Goten's room, the window had been broken from the outside. Trunks was still asleep on the floor. He had pieces of broken glass on his face, but, luckily, his face hadn't been cut by them, and he was still asleep!? He hadn't noticed the glass!?

"Trunks, wake up." I shouted. Trunks opened his eyes and sat upright. The glass fell off his face. He looked frightened at the glass, then at me.

"Danny, is my face cut at all?" Trunks asked quickly.

"No, your face is alright." I answered.

"Still as ugly as ever!" Goten joked. Trunks looked disgusted at Goten.

"He was only joking, Trunks. Don't worry about it!" I said, trying to calm him down.

"Yeah, I figured that." Trunks said, annoyed, "What's the damage then?"

"Well his video games are gone and that's it" I said to him

"Why just take his video games? He has loads of technologycal items here. It doesn't make sense." Trunks said.
