Chapter 1:News of a New Threat

Seven Years After Ray and Trunks' Departure
Two figures panted as they dropped into fighting stances.The dark surroundings made it appear that they were giving off sunlight through their auras.Several Dragons watched on,their red eyes glowing.Within a second,faster than even the Dragons could see,the two figures had raced forward,their fists colliding.The one with lavender hair did a backwards somersault,kicking the one with brown hair high into the sky.As he came back down,the one with lavender hair spun around and kicked him once more.

"IMPRESSIVE.FOR MORTALS,YOU ARE QUITE STRONG,"Shenrunga noted.

A blue light shot from where Ray had been kicked,signaling that he had powered up.Through all of their years of training,the two had learned what to expect from each other,so Trunks was ready for the blast that came from behind.As he turned,he held out one palm and caught the ball of blue energy.It entered his body,causing his arm to glow.The glow traveled to his chest,and eventually to the other arm where it shot back.

Ray smirked,"Super....Nova...."

The blast almost hit before Ray disappeared.Not expecting this,Trunks looked around for the other fighter.He could feel no energy,but knew Ray was somewhere nearby.

"HA!!!!"

Trunks whirled around,expecting to see the green energy a good distance away because of its slow pace.But instead,he saw it right in his face and had no time to react as the blast collided,creating a massive explosion.Trunks coughed as dust surrounded him.After it settled,he shook his head.

"It's a good thing we can't feel any real pain in this dimension,"he said.

"Yeah.But the bad thing is,the food's terrible!"Ray exclaimed,looking a feast table the Dragons had prepared.

'PERHAPS THOSE TWO....ARE READY,'Shenrunga thought as he watched the two grinning warriors.

A brown haired Tororin and a lavender haired Saiyan dropped into fighting stances.The Tororin rushed forward,missing a punch to his friend's jaw and instead getting kneed in the stomach.Noticing a chance,the Saiyan cupped his hands together and rammed them into the Tororin's back,causing him to fall face first into the ground.Not wasting a moment,the Saiyan floated into the air and charged his energy.Ten blasts rained down on his fallen friend,rendering him dizzy.

"Okay,man!Enough!"Titus exclaimed,"Gee,you'd think I was evil or something the way you charged those blasts!"

"Eh....Sorry,I got carried away!Wait a second....Didn't we blast Gohan a few minutes ago?"Dart asked.

"Yeah,but....Where in the world is he?"Titus questioned himself,looking around for the other Saiyan.

They flew around,retracing the paths they had taken while sparring,and eventually found Gohan in a pile of rubble.It looked like he was unconscious,so they slowly landed and looked him over.

Gohan smirked and opened his eyes,holding his palms out,"KAMEHAMEHA!!!!"

The blue and white blast shot out,narrowly missing its two targets.Dart and Titus both glared at their friend.

"You dirty scoundrel!The spar was over and you just HAD to BLAST us,didn't you!?Gee,your worse than Vegito when it comes to rotten tricks in battle,"Titus scolded,but with a smile on his face.

"Oh,it's over already?Darn,I was hoping to see that new attack of yours,"Gohan said,jumping to his feet.

"Well,I never said anything about not showing it to you,"Titus stated with a smirk as he pointed to a tree,"See that tree?It's going to be toothpicks in about ten seconds."

Both Gohan and Dart,as well as four figures in the shadows,watched intently as Titus clenched his fists.After doing a few hand movements,his aura intensified.

"Pride...."the aura intensified even more,looking like it was going to explode,"....OF THE LION!!!!"

The aura changed colors,going from silver to a dark red,and shot up around his neck.The energy created a strange mane around the son of Ray's neck.A loud roar echoed around them as a giant lion was created from the energy.It rushed toward the tree,and Titus started punching the air.For every punch,the mighty lion slashed its powerful claws through the air.The tree started to get ripped and shredded under the mighty strikes.As the lion disappeared,Titus walked forward and grabbed one of the remnants of the tree and picked something out of his teeth with it.

"That piece of beef was driving me insane,"he said after spitting.

"Woah...."the two witnesses trailed off.

Dart grinned,"That was almost as strong as your dad's Super Nova!"

"Yeah....And with enough practice....It'll be stronger,"Titus said.

For seven years,the two had worked harder and harder,trying to surpass the power that was once held by their fathers.They knew that it may be a long time before they returned to the Earth,so they were prepared for any evil that may arrive.

"What are you trying to say?That we have to stop our training permanently!?"Trunks demanded,not believing his ears.

"NO,ALL THAT WE REQUEST IS THAT YOU LEAVE THIS DIMENSION PERMANENTLY.YOU ARE FAR BEYOND WHAT WE ARE CAPABLE OF TEACHING,"Shenrunga replied.

"Well,Trunks can go back to Earth and train.But,what about me?King Kai banned me from his place after I burned Bubbles a little,which I STILL say was an accident,and the Grand Kai is still mad about me blowing up that portion of his mansion during the Tournament,"Ray protested.

"THERE IS STILL THE SUPREME KAI'S PLANET,"another Dragon pointed out.

Ray's and Trunks's jaws dropped as they glanced at each other.

"The....The Supreme Kai!?"they both exclaimed.

"YES.I AM SURE YOU TWO KNOW OF MAJIN BUU FROM STORIES TOLD TO YOU.SOMEHOW,HE IS IN YOUR DIMENSION AS WELL.THE SUPREME KAI HAS SENT US A MESSAGE THAT TELLS YOU TWO SHOULD GO TO HIS PLANET IMMEDIATELY,"Shenrunga said.

The two warriors grinned at each other before realizing something.

"Uh....How do we get there?"they asked,sounding as if they were fused.

Shenrunga's energy started to change,"SEARCH FOR THE ENERGY EXACTLY LIKE MINE IS NOW.USE YOUR INSTANT TRANSMISSION AND YOU SHALL BE THERE."

The two nodded and Trunks laid a hand on Ray's shoulder.Ray put two fingers to his forehead and closed his eyes.After finding the energy,the two disappeared.
