Author's Notes- Kioko: Yes, death threats DO make me work better! But I'm not encouraging you to send me more. *glances around nervously* But I don't want to get fed to Shenlong quite this early in my young life.
Mirai Trunks: But we could just wish you back with the dragonballs or get your seven-year leave early.
Kioko: Shut up! I don't need you encouraging them!!

Chapter 10: Gotenks Has Arrived! Please, Hold Your Applause
The six saiya-jins gaped at Cell and Frieza in disbelief. The way they kept opening and closing their mouths caused them to look like fish out of water. There was a rather unnerving silence until Vegeta demanded;
"Why the HELL do they always get immortality and I don't?!" He turned to Goku and grabbed him by the front collar. "Tell me, Kakarrot!! Did you also get immortality for the week your damn ass was back on this pathetic planet?!"
"Um...I don't think so, Vegeta, and this really isn't the right time to test that possibility out..." Goku replied, frowning. "We need to come up with a plan."
"Like what may I ask? Just keep throwing our strongest blasts at them until we're worn out?"
"No..."
Vegeta studied the look in Goku's eyes and he suddenly dropped Goku to the ground. "No. I refuse. I won't submit myself to that kind of humiliation! "
"C'mon Vegeta...It's the only way..."
"No! Have the brats do it! They know the damn dance just as well as us!!" Vegeta pointed at Trunks and Goten.
Gohan's head perked up. Had Vegeta and his father been teaching Trunks and Goten new techniques while he was at school?? That wasn't fair! Why did they get to learn new tricks? They were spoiled enough the way it is! They were even super saiya-jins already for crying out loud!
Gohan's eyes widened.
'Trunks...and...Goten...are super saiya-jins!!' he thought with glee. 'Haha! The age limit doesn't affect them! We still might have a chance!!'
"Um...Excuse me, Cell? Frieza?" Goku asked. "Could you give us about...15 minutes? We're trying to devise a plan and after that, you'll get to battle the ultimate warrior and maybe kick our asses a few times afterwards..."
"Kakarrot!!"
If Cell had visable ears, they would've perked up at this statement. Frieza, however, did not look so excited at this statement.
"Son Goku, how many times do you have to be reminded that Cell and I are the ultimate..." Frieza explained, before Cell cut him off.
"Of course you may, Goku, but this 'ultimate warrior' better be worth the wait." Cell said, his saiya-jin genes getting the best of him once again.
"All right! Trunks and Goten! Come here!" Goku commanded. "You too, Gohan and Mirai Trunks!!"
Chibi Trunks and Goten looked at their father's warily. Were they going to have to fight Cell and Frieza all by themselves now?
"Y-Yeah Dad?" Goten asked. "Are we going to have to fight Cell and Frieza?!"
"Yep!"
Chibi Trunks and Goten stared at each other in horror.
"Do you guys remember what Vegeta and I have been teaching you for the past few days? The fusion dance?" Goku asked as the six saiya-jins formed a huddle.
"Yeah!" both boys chirped, now looking quite excited.
"...Fusion dance...?" Mirai Trunks and Gohan asked in unison.
"It's a technique that I learned while I was in Other World. You must have two people of the same size and around the same ki level for it to work correctly."
"What does it do?"
"Ah, that's the interesting part. The two subjects do a series of movements and if they do it right, they become a fusion. The fusion is more powerful that the first two are by far." Goku explained. "We decided to experiment on Goten and Trunks first. They've perfected it already! It's amazing what fast learners these two are!"
"What Kakarrot's point is, is that these two brats are going to fuse and beat the shit out of those bakas," Vegeta interrupted. "But the fusion only lasts for thirty damn minutes, so you two are going to fuse the wrong way to by us some time. Seeing as though Cell is only as smart as the average Earth rock, he'll probably let us wait that time out. While we're waiting, Kakarrot and somebody else will teach you two brats how to fuse as a back up plan."
"And you came up with this plan in how long of a time?" Mirai Trunks asked raising an eyebrow. He looked at Chibi Trunks and Goten. "Do you two think you can fuse while you're super saiya-jins?"
Goku and Vegeta sent Mirai Trunks a startled look.
"What are you talking about, brat?! They can't turn into super saiya-jins!! They're too young!!" Vegeta growled.
"I'd have to agree with Vegeta." Goku added, nodding his head. "Goten and Trunks shouldn't have the power to transform for another few years yet."
"...Goku?" Chi-Chi asked. She peered over her husband's shoulder. "I couldn't help over hearing..."
"I bet you couldn't," Vegeta snorted.
Chi-Chi glared at him before continuing, "But during one of mine and Goten's sparring sessions he...transformed into a super saiya-jin on me. I told him never to do it again, but Gohan eventually found out. If Goten can do it, Trunks sure can too."
Vegeta and Goku gaped at Chi-Chi.
"Y-You're positive...?"
"I saw it with my own damn eyes, Goku! He had golden hair and blue eyes!" Chi-Chi argued. "Ask Gohan!"
"Mom's right. I had a heart attack when he turned super saiya-jin on me during one of our training sessions," Gohan said. He glanced at Goten, who grinned. "He's a strong little tyke."
"Are what the saying true, boy?" Vegeta asked, narrowing his eyes at Chibi Trunks, as if daring him to say 'Yes'.
"Yeah, Dad. Goten and I have been super saiya-jins for a long time! I was going to try and surprise you at the Budouki, but I guess the secret is out..." Trunks rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, a habit he had most likely picked up from the Son family. "Um...Surprise?"
"Wow..." was all Goku managed. When he recovered a few minutes later he said, "We'll just wait on fusing while your super saiya-jins. Just fuse at your highest levels in normal form. But remember, you have to screw up!"
"Yeah-yeah, Goku-san. Screwing up comes natural to us," Chibi Trunks scoffed, waving his hand impatiently. "Let's go, Goten!"
"Yeah!" Goten replied.
He and Trunks hopped out of the circle and then ran to the front of the stage. They sized each other up before walking about ten feet away from the other. They then posed themselves for first part of the fusion dance.
"Oh look, Frieza. I believe the chibis are going to entertain us with a dance," Cell snorted, smirking at the boys.
"FU..."
Trunks and Goten began to slide across the floor.
"What are they doing...?" Videl asked.
"...SION..."
"I have no idea." Bulma replied, shaking her head in disbelief. "Our husbands think of the wildest things."
"HAA!!!" They both shouted in unison. They're hands met, but Trunks didn't extend his finger. A blinding flash of light effulged the auditorium and everyone covered their eyes. When the light died down, they stared expectantly at the new figure. To most everyone's surprise(Goku and Vegeta had seen it enough times) the new boy had spiky black hair, with purple highlights running up the sides, obsidian eyes, and was small, frail, and old looking. Not at all what a fighter should look like.
Everyone except Goku and Vegeta fell over.
"T-That's the ultimate fighter you were bragging about?!" Frieza demanded, trying to hold back his laughter with no success. "What a joke!!"
"Aw man!" Goku exclaimed, slapping himself on the forehead. "Trunks didn't extend his finger! No wonder they didn't fuse right!!"
"You mean...that isn't his correct form?" Cell asked. Frieza stopped his laughing at once.
"No." Vegeta added, his face full of mock anger and disappointment. "Thanks a lot, brats!! Now we have to wait thirty minutes for you to unfuse!! By then all of us will be dead!!"
The new fighter's-if you would call him that-face fell. Cell, however, frowned at this.
"You said that this fusion," he pointed towards the old fighter. "will last thirty minutes."
"Yes..." Vegeta and Goku said slowly.
"So, if we wait thirty minutes, the boys will unfuse and then fuse again? Into the ultimate warrior this time?" Cell continued. Vegeta and Goku nodded. "Good. We'll wait thirty more minutes then."
"Wha...?! Bu...?!" Frieza stuttered. Vegeta greatly enjoyed the look of panic on his face. "You baka!! We only have a good four hours left on this damn mud ball! And you want to wait out the thirty minutes we could've killed them all in?! Are you insane?!"
"No, I'm not insane. Just blood thirsty." Cell replied. He glared once again at the new fighter and the rest of the saiya-jins. "This 'ultimate warrior' of yours better be worth the wait, or you'll regret that I ever let you have your precious thirty minutes."
'Yes!!' Goku and Vegeta thought in unison.
"Get over here...er...whoever you are!" Vegeta commanded.
The fusion walked slowly over to the other saiya-jins, wheezing the whole the way.
"Um...Do you have a name...?" Gohan asked, staring in shock at the fusion of his brother and Trunks.
"Uh..." the fusion muttered, in a weak, strangely bleanded voice. "It's Gotenks..."
"That suits you well!" Goku commented, clapping Gotenks on the back, causing the fusion to topple over. "Whoops! Sorry about that! Guess I don't know my own strength!"
"Kakarrot, stop the damn small talk and get over here!" Vegeta glared at Goku as he raised a hand and pointed it at the seats. He formed a ki blast and the shot it at the hundred or so seats nearby, leveling them.
"Vegeta!! That's another thousand in damages!!" Bulma shrieked. She ducked as a piece of chair came her way. "Damnit, Vegeta!!"
"There. Now you have room to practice," Vegeta said, ignoring Bulma and turning to Gohan and Mirai Trunks. "Kakarrot and whoever he is," He waved an irritated hand at Gotenks.
"Gotenks." Mirai Trunks substituted.
"As I was saying, Kakarrot and 'Gotenks' will demonstrate the fusion dance to you. I will be commenting from the sidelines, seeing as though I rather die than perform that damn thing."
"But Vegeta..." Goku whined. "It's not the same without you..."
"No, Kakarrot."
"C'mon, please?? With sugar and a cherry on top?"
"I said no and we're leaving it at that."
"Pretty, pretty please??"
"No, damnit!! What don't you understand about that simple word, Kakarrot?!" Vegeta roared.
While their father's continued to argue, Gotenks called Gohan and Mirai Trunks to attention.
"Seeing as though tousan and otousan are bickering," he coughed. "I will teach you the basics about the fusion dance. I will be your sensei from now on, so get used to it."
"Who'd thought we'd be learning 'the ultimate technique' from those twerps?" Mirai Trunks muttered. Out of nowhere, a walking stick came crashing down on his head. "Ouch!! What the hell was that for?!"
"No talking during my classes!!" Gotenks exclaimed angrily. "Now listen closely, unless you want to get hit again!!"
Mirai Trunks grumbled in annoyed tone, but obeyed Gotenks' orders. That walking stick left quite a bump.
"Now, firstly, you two must have equal power levels." Gotenks coughed again. "Now, power up to the highest level you can get to without going to super saiya-jin."
"OK..." Mirai Trunks and Gohan said in unison. What did this have to do with learning a simple dance?
"Hurry it up now! Time's a wasting!" Gotenks growled, smacking them both over the head this time.
"OUCH! We're going, we're going!!"
"I swear, Vegeta and Goku will never grow up," Chi-Chi sighed, taking a seat in on of the chairs that hadn't been destroyed by Vegeta. She straightened her dress out nervously. She wanted to be near Goku if Cell and Frieza suddenly decided to attack.
"Very true, Chi-Chi. It's like living with a demanding child. Its always 'Onna get this' or 'Onna fix the GR' or 'Onna fix me something to eat'." Bulma muttered, sitting beside Chi-Chi. "And do I ever get any thanks for it? Nooo..."
"Y-You two aren't surprised at all by what's going on around here?" Videl asked, puzzled. "How come Cell is back?? What the hell are super saiya-jins?? Or better yet, what the hell is a saiya-jin to begin with??"
"I don't know why Cell is back. He caused enough trouble already," Bulma explained. "And saiya-jins...Well, I'm sure Gohan will explain it when he feels the time is right."
"That's what he's been saying all night," Videl grumbled, sinking into a chair by Bulma. "'I'll tell you later, Videl. Promise.' Looks like later's going to be coming a lot later..."
"Oh, don't worry dear. Gohan will tell you eventually. He's just got a lot on his mind right now," Chi-Chi exclaimed. Videl looked over her shoulder to see Mirai Trunks and Gohan doing a ridiculous dance(and screwing up all the moves on purpose, much to Gotenks' annoyance) of some sort.
"Will one of you whipper-snappers get your ass over here and help me already?!" Gotenks demanded, tapping his cane impatiently against the floor. While he was distracted, Gohan and Mirai Trunks tried slipping out the door. "I haven't got all the time in the world, you know!!"
Chi-Chi frowned in annoyance. "I don't like this fusion idea. Your Trunks seems to be rubbing off on my Goten. I don't want him swearing up a storm the minute we get home."
"You worry way to much, Chi-Chi. Goten gets influenced more by Trunks without the fusion anyways." Bulma sighed.
"GET OVER HERE NOW YOU FUCKING BASTARDS BEFORE I KICK YOUR ASSES TO NEW NAMEK AND BACK!!" Gotenks yelled, chasing after Mirai Trunks and Gohan, whom he had finally noticed. For an old man, he sure had big lung capacity. "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO RESPECT YOUR ELDERS!!!"
"And who taught him that language, Bulma??" Chi-Chi demanded, glowering at the blue haired genius. "It's Trunks and Vegeta's influence, that's what!!"
"It is not!!"
"Is too!!"
"Um...Don't you think Goten could've just learned it off the T.V?" Videl suggested.
"NO!!" both women yelled together.
"So what are we supposed to do during this half an hour? Hmm?" Frieza asked, impatiently tapping his foot against the floor. "Play a game?!"
"That's not such a bad idea," Cell mused. Out of nowhere a pack of cards materialized and fell to the floor with a thump.
"How'd you do that?"
"I have Namekian genes in me. I can materialize anything from out of nowhere."
"Oh really? Can you materialize some poker chips as well?" Frieza asked, as he sat down. "I'm rather fond of poker."
"You're the betting type, huh? Well, all righty then. Poker it is." Cell exclaimed, as he cut the deck and began shuffling them. "What are we going to be betting with? Or better said, whom are we going to be betting with?"
"For the first game, I'll be betting the rights to kill Vegeta for...?"
"Hmm...How about the rights to kill Son Gohan?"
"Deal. Now hand me some cards!"
Thirty minutes passed way to fast for the saiya-jins. They really didn't accomplish anything like they had planned. Mirai Trunks and Gohan hadn't learned anything new in that time period, besides that Old Gotenks was a grouch and that the walking stick hurt like hell. Gotenks, Goku, and Vegeta had all gotten in a fight over who would be teaching the fusion dance and both Goku and Vegeta ended up with a black eye. After that incident, all of them had a new found respect for 'Walking Stick-sama'
"All right, to the fusion dance correctly, you must be mirrored images of each other," Gotenks exclaimed, pacing back and forth. There was a 'pop' a second later and Trunks and Goten reappeared, pacing beside each other, obvisouly not knowing they had unfused.
"Um..." Gohan said, putting his hand into the air.
"SHUT UP!!" Goten and Trunks yelled together, glaring at Gohan threateningly. "I'm trying to teach you bakas about fusion and all you do is try and interrupt me!! How will you learn?!"
"We haven't learned a thing from you to begin with and your fusion time is up," Mirai Trunks replied, rolling his eyes.
Trunks and Goten looked at themselves and then looked at each other.
"Wow...He's right, Trunks-kun!!" Goten exclaimed.
"Hmm...I guess we've gotten so used to fusion that we can't tell when we unfuse!" Trunks said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Hey, Goten, do you remember what we talked about?"
"Yeah. Do you mean," Goten replied. Out of nowhere a playbook came out of his tuxedo jacket pocket. He flipped through the pages and then stopped at a certain one. "Plan Alpha Omega Major Ass Toasting version 5.0?"
Mirai Trunks and Gohan looked at each other. How come they never got playbooks or cool plan names??
There was a sudden shout from the stage and everybody looked up to see Frieza laughing and Cell looking miserable.
"Haha!! I've won again!! Now you've lost the rights to kill, Gohan, Goku, and Gohan's girlfriend and the honors of blowing this planet to smithereens!!" Frieza gloated happily.
"Damn cheater!! There is no WAY in hell you can get FOUR Royal Flushes in a ROW!!" Cell roared, smacking his cards down the stage so hard that poker chips flew everywhere. "At least I still get to kill the fusion AND the rest of the population!!"
"Speaking of fusion," Frieza looked up and spotted the boys. "the little brats time is up! Finally!"
Cell cracked his knuckles, pushed the cards into a pile, and stood up. "So are the little guys ready to get beaten in a bloody and unrecognizable pulp?"
"Actually, I think it's you bakas who should be worried about being beaten into a bloody pulp." Chibi Trunks retorted, rolling his eyes. "C'mon, Goten! Let's go!"
The boys lined up again and did the now familiar dance moves, but this time, neither screwed up. There was another bright flash of light and the real fusion appeared this time.
"MWHAHA!! I am Gotenks, the all-powerful saiya-jin warrior!! Supreme being of the universe!! The champion of good! The general of justice!" Gotenks exclaimed. His voice was no longer old and feeble, but strong and confident. "Prepare for the ultimate saiya-jin smack down!!"
"...Smack down...? Isn't that WWF?" Goku asked unsurely.
"Damnit, I knew I shouldn't have let the brat watch that garbage." Vegeta swore, shaking his head in disgust.
Gotenks continued on in vain for quite some time about his various titles (half of which he had to improvise for, because the villains would ask about them) until Mirai Trunks found Walking Stick-sama and smacked him over the head with it.
"Get to work, Gotenks! You've wasted five fricken minutes with you're stupid glory speech! Start the ass-kicking NOW or there will be HELL to pay when I get my super saiya-jin powers back!!" he yelled. Gotenks clutched his head and then his ears in pain.
"Fine, fine!!" Gotenks growled. He slipped into his fighting stance and raised his eyebrows questioningly at the villains. "So which one of you losers want to fight me first?"
"Cocky little bastard..." Cell muttered, as he stepped forward. "I'll be the first to test your abilities."
"Test? Is there going to be extra credit?" Gotenks challenged. "'Cause you're going to need it after I do this!!" Gotenks raised his arms above his head, looked up to the ceiling, and begin to gather his ki. "SUPER...SAIYA-JIN!!!!"
"What are you trying to do? You know it's useless to even try." Frieza explained knowingly. "There's not going to be any super saiya-jins for another ...f-f-four..."
Frieza stopped dead when Gotenks lowered his arms and head and looked at the villains. The boy no longer had black and purple hair, but white gold. He also no longer had black eyes but blue.
"What were you saying about no super saiya-jins?" Gotenks asked, cocking his head to the side. He looked at himself. "It seems I'm a super saiya-jin or maybe it's my imagination." He looked at the older saiya-jins. "Guys, I am I a super saiya-jin or is it the light?"
"Super saiya-jin for sure, isn't that right, Mirai?" Gohan asked, smugly.
"Oh yeah. He's a super saiya-jin." Mirai Trunks added, grinning. "What do you think, Dad? Is he a super saiya-jin?"
"Of course, but we have to get the opinion of Kakarrot to be for sure." Vegeta replied.
"All right, all right! We get the point!" Cell yelled. "So he can turn into a super saiya-jin! Be deal! There's still only one of them!"
"Actually," Gotenks corrected. "There are two of them. The two that make up me can also become super saiya-jin. It's bad to underestimate the young."
Cell growled in annoyance. "I get the damn point! Now let's fight!"
Gotenks smirked on his opponent.
"Bring it on!"
-------------------------------------------------------------
Kioko: Gotenks is my all time favorite character to write for! His character is so cool and fun to write ^-^. There wasn't as much action as I planned for this chapter. But I promise I'll write a bunch of it for the next one.
Mirai Trunks: Action really isn't Kioko-sama's strong point, however. So it might take her longer to write it.
Kioko: Yup! Hope you liked the chapter and remember to review!
Next chapter: In the next chapter of 'Nothing But The Truth', Gotenks is going to screw up/around so much that Gogeta is forced to make his first ever appearance!
Mirai Trunks: But we could just wish you back with the dragonballs or get your seven-year leave early.
Kioko: Shut up! I don't need you encouraging them!!

"Oh look, Frieza. I believe the chibis are going to entertain us with a dance," Cell snorted, smirking at the boys.
"FU..."
Trunks and Goten began to slide across the floor.

"That suits you well!" Goku commented, clapping Gotenks on the back, causing the fusion to topple over. "Whoops! Sorry about that! Guess I don't know my own strength!"
"Kakarrot, stop the damn small talk and get over here!" Vegeta glared at Goku as he raised a hand and pointed it at the seats. He formed a ki blast and the shot it at the hundred or so seats nearby, leveling them.
"Vegeta!! That's another thousand in damages!!" Bulma shrieked. She ducked as a piece of chair came her way. "Damnit, Vegeta!!"
"There. Now you have room to practice," Vegeta said, ignoring Bulma and turning to Gohan and Mirai Trunks. "Kakarrot and whoever he is," He waved an irritated hand at Gotenks.
"Gotenks." Mirai Trunks substituted.
"As I was saying, Kakarrot and 'Gotenks' will demonstrate the fusion dance to you. I will be commenting from the sidelines, seeing as though I rather die than perform that damn thing."
"But Vegeta..." Goku whined. "It's not the same without you..."
"No, Kakarrot."
"C'mon, please?? With sugar and a cherry on top?"
"I said no and we're leaving it at that."
"Pretty, pretty please??"
"No, damnit!! What don't you understand about that simple word, Kakarrot?!" Vegeta roared.
While their father's continued to argue, Gotenks called Gohan and Mirai Trunks to attention.
"Seeing as though tousan and otousan are bickering," he coughed. "I will teach you the basics about the fusion dance. I will be your sensei from now on, so get used to it."
"Who'd thought we'd be learning 'the ultimate technique' from those twerps?" Mirai Trunks muttered. Out of nowhere, a walking stick came crashing down on his head. "Ouch!! What the hell was that for?!"
"No talking during my classes!!" Gotenks exclaimed angrily. "Now listen closely, unless you want to get hit again!!"
Mirai Trunks grumbled in annoyed tone, but obeyed Gotenks' orders. That walking stick left quite a bump.
"Now, firstly, you two must have equal power levels." Gotenks coughed again. "Now, power up to the highest level you can get to without going to super saiya-jin."
"OK..." Mirai Trunks and Gohan said in unison. What did this have to do with learning a simple dance?
"Hurry it up now! Time's a wasting!" Gotenks growled, smacking them both over the head this time.
"OUCH! We're going, we're going!!"
"I swear, Vegeta and Goku will never grow up," Chi-Chi sighed, taking a seat in on of the chairs that hadn't been destroyed by Vegeta. She straightened her dress out nervously. She wanted to be near Goku if Cell and Frieza suddenly decided to attack.
"Very true, Chi-Chi. It's like living with a demanding child. Its always 'Onna get this' or 'Onna fix the GR' or 'Onna fix me something to eat'." Bulma muttered, sitting beside Chi-Chi. "And do I ever get any thanks for it? Nooo..."
"Y-You two aren't surprised at all by what's going on around here?" Videl asked, puzzled. "How come Cell is back?? What the hell are super saiya-jins?? Or better yet, what the hell is a saiya-jin to begin with??"
"I don't know why Cell is back. He caused enough trouble already," Bulma explained. "And saiya-jins...Well, I'm sure Gohan will explain it when he feels the time is right."
"That's what he's been saying all night," Videl grumbled, sinking into a chair by Bulma. "'I'll tell you later, Videl. Promise.' Looks like later's going to be coming a lot later..."
"Oh, don't worry dear. Gohan will tell you eventually. He's just got a lot on his mind right now," Chi-Chi exclaimed. Videl looked over her shoulder to see Mirai Trunks and Gohan doing a ridiculous dance(and screwing up all the moves on purpose, much to Gotenks' annoyance) of some sort.
"Will one of you whipper-snappers get your ass over here and help me already?!" Gotenks demanded, tapping his cane impatiently against the floor. While he was distracted, Gohan and Mirai Trunks tried slipping out the door. "I haven't got all the time in the world, you know!!"
Chi-Chi frowned in annoyance. "I don't like this fusion idea. Your Trunks seems to be rubbing off on my Goten. I don't want him swearing up a storm the minute we get home."
"You worry way to much, Chi-Chi. Goten gets influenced more by Trunks without the fusion anyways." Bulma sighed.
"GET OVER HERE NOW YOU FUCKING BASTARDS BEFORE I KICK YOUR ASSES TO NEW NAMEK AND BACK!!" Gotenks yelled, chasing after Mirai Trunks and Gohan, whom he had finally noticed. For an old man, he sure had big lung capacity. "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO RESPECT YOUR ELDERS!!!"
"And who taught him that language, Bulma??" Chi-Chi demanded, glowering at the blue haired genius. "It's Trunks and Vegeta's influence, that's what!!"
"It is not!!"
"Is too!!"
"Um...Don't you think Goten could've just learned it off the T.V?" Videl suggested.
"NO!!" both women yelled together.
"So what are we supposed to do during this half an hour? Hmm?" Frieza asked, impatiently tapping his foot against the floor. "Play a game?!"
"That's not such a bad idea," Cell mused. Out of nowhere a pack of cards materialized and fell to the floor with a thump.
"How'd you do that?"
"I have Namekian genes in me. I can materialize anything from out of nowhere."
"Oh really? Can you materialize some poker chips as well?" Frieza asked, as he sat down. "I'm rather fond of poker."
"You're the betting type, huh? Well, all righty then. Poker it is." Cell exclaimed, as he cut the deck and began shuffling them. "What are we going to be betting with? Or better said, whom are we going to be betting with?"
"For the first game, I'll be betting the rights to kill Vegeta for...?"
"Hmm...How about the rights to kill Son Gohan?"
"Deal. Now hand me some cards!"
Thirty minutes passed way to fast for the saiya-jins. They really didn't accomplish anything like they had planned. Mirai Trunks and Gohan hadn't learned anything new in that time period, besides that Old Gotenks was a grouch and that the walking stick hurt like hell. Gotenks, Goku, and Vegeta had all gotten in a fight over who would be teaching the fusion dance and both Goku and Vegeta ended up with a black eye. After that incident, all of them had a new found respect for 'Walking Stick-sama'
"All right, to the fusion dance correctly, you must be mirrored images of each other," Gotenks exclaimed, pacing back and forth. There was a 'pop' a second later and Trunks and Goten reappeared, pacing beside each other, obvisouly not knowing they had unfused.
"Um..." Gohan said, putting his hand into the air.
"SHUT UP!!" Goten and Trunks yelled together, glaring at Gohan threateningly. "I'm trying to teach you bakas about fusion and all you do is try and interrupt me!! How will you learn?!"
"We haven't learned a thing from you to begin with and your fusion time is up," Mirai Trunks replied, rolling his eyes.
Trunks and Goten looked at themselves and then looked at each other.
"Wow...He's right, Trunks-kun!!" Goten exclaimed.
"Hmm...I guess we've gotten so used to fusion that we can't tell when we unfuse!" Trunks said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Hey, Goten, do you remember what we talked about?"
"Yeah. Do you mean," Goten replied. Out of nowhere a playbook came out of his tuxedo jacket pocket. He flipped through the pages and then stopped at a certain one. "Plan Alpha Omega Major Ass Toasting version 5.0?"
Mirai Trunks and Gohan looked at each other. How come they never got playbooks or cool plan names??
There was a sudden shout from the stage and everybody looked up to see Frieza laughing and Cell looking miserable.
"Haha!! I've won again!! Now you've lost the rights to kill, Gohan, Goku, and Gohan's girlfriend and the honors of blowing this planet to smithereens!!" Frieza gloated happily.
"Damn cheater!! There is no WAY in hell you can get FOUR Royal Flushes in a ROW!!" Cell roared, smacking his cards down the stage so hard that poker chips flew everywhere. "At least I still get to kill the fusion AND the rest of the population!!"
"Speaking of fusion," Frieza looked up and spotted the boys. "the little brats time is up! Finally!"
Cell cracked his knuckles, pushed the cards into a pile, and stood up. "So are the little guys ready to get beaten in a bloody and unrecognizable pulp?"
"Actually, I think it's you bakas who should be worried about being beaten into a bloody pulp." Chibi Trunks retorted, rolling his eyes. "C'mon, Goten! Let's go!"
The boys lined up again and did the now familiar dance moves, but this time, neither screwed up. There was another bright flash of light and the real fusion appeared this time.
"MWHAHA!! I am Gotenks, the all-powerful saiya-jin warrior!! Supreme being of the universe!! The champion of good! The general of justice!" Gotenks exclaimed. His voice was no longer old and feeble, but strong and confident. "Prepare for the ultimate saiya-jin smack down!!"
"...Smack down...? Isn't that WWF?" Goku asked unsurely.
"Damnit, I knew I shouldn't have let the brat watch that garbage." Vegeta swore, shaking his head in disgust.
Gotenks continued on in vain for quite some time about his various titles (half of which he had to improvise for, because the villains would ask about them) until Mirai Trunks found Walking Stick-sama and smacked him over the head with it.
"Get to work, Gotenks! You've wasted five fricken minutes with you're stupid glory speech! Start the ass-kicking NOW or there will be HELL to pay when I get my super saiya-jin powers back!!" he yelled. Gotenks clutched his head and then his ears in pain.
"Fine, fine!!" Gotenks growled. He slipped into his fighting stance and raised his eyebrows questioningly at the villains. "So which one of you losers want to fight me first?"
"Cocky little bastard..." Cell muttered, as he stepped forward. "I'll be the first to test your abilities."
"Test? Is there going to be extra credit?" Gotenks challenged. "'Cause you're going to need it after I do this!!" Gotenks raised his arms above his head, looked up to the ceiling, and begin to gather his ki. "SUPER...SAIYA-JIN!!!!"
"What are you trying to do? You know it's useless to even try." Frieza explained knowingly. "There's not going to be any super saiya-jins for another ...f-f-four..."
Frieza stopped dead when Gotenks lowered his arms and head and looked at the villains. The boy no longer had black and purple hair, but white gold. He also no longer had black eyes but blue.
"What were you saying about no super saiya-jins?" Gotenks asked, cocking his head to the side. He looked at himself. "It seems I'm a super saiya-jin or maybe it's my imagination." He looked at the older saiya-jins. "Guys, I am I a super saiya-jin or is it the light?"
"Super saiya-jin for sure, isn't that right, Mirai?" Gohan asked, smugly.
"Oh yeah. He's a super saiya-jin." Mirai Trunks added, grinning. "What do you think, Dad? Is he a super saiya-jin?"
"Of course, but we have to get the opinion of Kakarrot to be for sure." Vegeta replied.
"All right, all right! We get the point!" Cell yelled. "So he can turn into a super saiya-jin! Be deal! There's still only one of them!"
"Actually," Gotenks corrected. "There are two of them. The two that make up me can also become super saiya-jin. It's bad to underestimate the young."
Cell growled in annoyance. "I get the damn point! Now let's fight!"
Gotenks smirked on his opponent.
"Bring it on!"
-------------------------------------------------------------
Kioko: Gotenks is my all time favorite character to write for! His character is so cool and fun to write ^-^. There wasn't as much action as I planned for this chapter. But I promise I'll write a bunch of it for the next one.
Mirai Trunks: Action really isn't Kioko-sama's strong point, however. So it might take her longer to write it.
Kioko: Yup! Hope you liked the chapter and remember to review!
Next chapter: In the next chapter of 'Nothing But The Truth', Gotenks is going to screw up/around so much that Gogeta is forced to make his first ever appearance!
