Dragons of Tribeta-sei
PART 1 A New Life
Chapter 1 A Bad Day at School
The 439 Mountain Range Area was a beautiful place, the mountains here were all curved at their peeks with patches of moss and an occasional branch of a plant sticking out the sides of them. The tallest of these mountains was called Mt. Paesal. Hardly anyone lived here because it was heard of as the home of very nasty demons when these 'demons' were really just large dinosaurs and wolves and large animal-like hunters who think they are all big and mighty and powerful. But still people don't go near these mountains because of it. The only reason that they would go near these mountains is for a dare or something. That is what they say. It was nighttime with morning just around the corner and the sky was dark with tens of thousands of stars out. The sounds of crickets and frogs singing their night song filled the air. The ground was moistened with dew, and just slightly fogged the trees were. In the darkness of the woods there were small lights flickering as the fireflies danced in the night air. In the distance to the east, a dim light peeked over the horizon. The light grew brighter as the sky around the light changed from a dark Bluish-black to a spectacular Pinkish-purple. The rays of the sun put light on the plateaus of Mt. Paesal. The shadows moved to rise on the ground behind every cliff on the opposite side from the sunlight. The birds started to wake and sing their morning song. Dew dribbled off of the leaves of some underbrush as a dragonfly landed on a flower nearby before taking flight again. Soon twilight will come soon. About fifteen miles away from Mt. Paesal was a two story round house. On the left hand side of the house is a brick house built into it with a straw roof. Large oak trees on either side of this house, a flower garden on every window seal except for the bedrooms. As the light touched the house, the white paint reflected the beauty of the sunrise.
The camera then turns to the window leading into the kitchen of the house where a woman was leaning of a pot filled with ramen, busily stirring in raw scrambled eggs into the noodles as well as some chicken flavored seasonings. The woman had long black silky hair that was currently tied up in a bun, a few strands dangling in front of her ears. Her dark black- purple eyes sparkled with the joy of cooking as they concentrated on the woman's task. Her smooth cream-colored skin shown beautifully in the light of the sunrise. The woman wore a dark purple dress with pink pants underneath and an apron over it. Her hands were busy with chopping celery into bits to add of the other vegetables that she'll be adding to the ramen. The name of this woman was Son Chichi Ox. The daughter of the Ox King and is technically a princesses as well as an Amazon. But instead of being at the castle she was in a soft country house with her own family. When she was young, she was somewhat of a coward but was able to get through her tasks out of instinct. Back then she wore a skimpy Amazon outfit with a helmet with some kind of blade upon it. When she got older she married a man that chooses fighting over anything but always puts his family's first. When he fights, he fights for them to keep them safe as well as the rest of the world. But on other occasions when the chance came he would choose fighting over family anytime. At Chichi had to live with that several times. But that was the past this is the present and she has a happy family with two sons. One of them is married and she will soon be a grandmother. She can't wait. As Chichi turns to flip the French toast another woman was setting the dinning room table. She had short black hair cut into a buzz cut and was a little spiky. She had sky blue eyes and silky tanned colored skin. She wore spandex black pants with a white and pink tee shirt. Her name was Videl Sataan. But now she was Son Videl because no more then a month ago, she married the eldest son of Chichi. And she was pregnant with a little girl. (They found that out while at a hospital visit a while ago.) Videl as been living with the Sons ever since she got married. She was busily setting the table with plates and silver wear. Sitting at the table waiting for breakfast to be served was a tall handsome young man with black spiky hair the defied gravity and sprayed out in all directions. He had coil black eyes and tanned muscle bound skin. He was a fighter and a hero. He wore a pair of blue sweat pants and a white tank top tucked in. His name is Son Goku, also known as Kackarotto. Kackarotto is his Saiya-jin name but he prefers the name that he was brought up with and that is Son Goku. He came to earth as a baby and hit his head and was made to be the hero of the planet and the universe. He has defeated so many evil beings and is known as a saint. He is so carefree and naive and innocent and, and pure! Sitting next to him was his eldest son named after his grandfather, Son Gohon. Gohon was a Professor and had top grades in all of his classes. And now he was married to Videl and was soon to be a father in a couple of months. Gohon in his youth has also saved the planet a couple of times too. He is a retired fighter.
At the moment both father and son were laughing about something with the women.
"Yea! Dad, don't you remember that time when Yajarobie tried to join Vegeta when he first came to earth! Hahaha! The fool had no idea what he was getting into!" Gohon cackled as he recalled that memory.
Goku nodded and chuckled. "Oh yea, Vegeta wasn't exactly in the 'mood' to deal with Yajarobie because he was desperate to kill us. But you beat him good when you changed into an Ozaru, Gohon." He said with pride towards his eldest son who grinned in return.
Chichi scowled as she bopped her husband over the head with her frying pan. "Now Goku-sa, you didn't even ask me if Gohon could fight back then! You had no idea how I was feeling about hearing about you getting killed and Gohon getting kidnapped by Piccolo and was gone for over a year. I never felt more alone in me life!"
"Ah, but we came back didn't we, Chi?" Goku replied while rubbing his sore head. "We came back to you."
"Yes and then you both took off again to find the Namekien dragonballs! And left me alone again! Gohon was only with me for no more then a few weeks and you Goku-sa were with me for less then a month before you went to help Gohon without a though of how I felt! You thoughtless bastard!" Chichi yelled mockingly and turned her back to her husband and headed towards the stove. She continued to stir the stew until she felt strong arms wrap around her.
"Chi, you know that I fight for you, Gohon and Goten. I'm sorry if I left you alone to many times in the past. I thought about you all the time when I was dead. And I missed you."
"Down boy! Not in front of Gohon please!" she tried to growl but it turned out to be a purr as Goku played around with her bond mark on her neck, making her squirm and purr.
"He has seen it before, Chi. Besides he did this to Videl, I can see the bonding mark on her that she is trying to cover up with make-up." Goku purred without looking at Videl who blushed in shock. "How did you know.that?"
Goku chuckled as he glanced at her over Chichi shoulder, "A Saiya-jin always can tell, Daughter-in-law."
Gohon smirked, "Your starting to sound like Vegeta, dad."
Goku made a monk horrified look and let go of chichi and hopped on the heals of his feet. "Oh no, am I turning into Vegeta brother or am I just going insane!"
Everybody laughed. Videl had to stop laughing pretty quickly because she felt a sudden erg to go to the bathroom or to the nearest sink and excused her self and vomited into the kitchen trashcan. Gohon got up and went to see if she was ok. She assured him that she can handle it and finished. She heaved a sigh of relief and slowly sat down at the table. "Are you sure its going to ok, huni?" Gohon tried again. "Its just morning sickness, Gohon." Chichi replied.
"It was the same with you and Goten when I was pregnant. The sickness will wear off in a couple of months. But don't worry about Videl, it is normal for pregnant women."
Gohon nodded, "If you say so mom. Videl, didn't you say you have another doctors appointment today?"
The girl nodded, "Yes, I do. Around 11:00 this morning. At Sataan Private Hospital, in Sataan City." Gohon nodded in confirmation, "Alright, I'll take you there then." Thank you Gohon."
~*~
Chichi had just finished making the stew when she thought about her second son, Goten. There have been some strange things happening around him lately so she asked if Goku knew anything about it. Goku put on a thoughtful look for a few minutes. "Yea, your right Chi, I've heard rumors from Bulma that Goten has been acting up a lot. Loosing his temper lately but for what reasons, I don't know."
Gohon nodded, "I heard similar rumors from Yampcha who claimed to have seen Goten loose his temper and destroy half of his home in the desert. He told me that he doesn't know what is causing him to do this. There that and rumors from Trunks that he's been falling asleep in class at school a lot and acting like he hasn't had any sleep in days. I wonder what's up with him." He glanced up towards the staircase as though hoping that his brother would come stumbling down the stairs to give them answers. But the staircase remained empty of the little Demi-Saiya-jin.
Chichi also glanced at the stairs but turned to the clock on the wall, which told her that his alarm clock should have gone off about 15 minutes ago. And wondered what was keeping her son from coming down for breakfast. She shrugged it off and started placing dishes on the table.
~*~
The camera turns and heads up the stairs and down the hall on the second floor past several family pictures and to a open door to the left at the end of the hallway. Inside the room was dark but light from the sunrise was seeping in through the open window. The room was littered with clothes and books and toys. It was a simple small bedroom. A chest of drawers in the corner filled with all kinds of clothes, mostly orange uniforms, blue gis, black and red gis, and some several pairs of jeans and matching t-shirts. In another corner were a small desk with schoolbooks and a pad of paper and a pencil on it. A full-length mirror right next to his chest of drawers, a twin size bed in another corner next to the window with a table, which had a clock that says it's about 8:04 am. Five more seconds past when.
BEEEP! BEEEP! BEEEP!
The alarm went off at 8:05 am. The form sleeping on the bed let out an annoyed grunt and rolled over onto his stomach, he reached over to the table wear his alarm clock was and felt around for it.
BEEEP! BEEEP! BEEEP!
That sound was getting too annoying. So the 10-year-old boy opened one eye half way to glare at the thing making all that noise. He couldn't find the snooze button so a formed a small energy blast in his hand and blasted the clock clean off the table. The chi blast did it's job and destroyed the clock, sending pieces of it flaring in all direction all over the floor near to table where it once sat. Once that was done, the boy rolled over, getting his feet tangled up even more in his blanket. With in a few seconds, the boy whose hair defied gravity and flared out in all direction was snoring peacefully.
~*~
Chichi was just finishing placing all of the food on the tables when a loud crash sounded from the floor above causing everyone to pause in what they were doing and glance up at ceiling. Gohon was getting up from where he sat as if to go and check what that noise was. But Chichi stopped him and said that she'll go see what it was. Gohon argued, "But mom it could be an intruder and you probably won't be able to handle it!"
"I can take care of myself Gohon, besides it was probably just Goten. You sit down and eat your breakfast." She was already heading up the stairs as she said this. Gohon sighed with defeat and settled back down to listen for any sign of what is going on upstairs. ---------------------------------------- Her eyes narrowed as a frown came across her face when she saw the destroyed alarm clock lying in a heap in the foot of the table next to the bed. Her frown deepened when she saw her son still asleep. She heaved a deep breath before shouting out at the top of her lungs. "SON GOTEN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! GET UP!" The outburst caused the people downstairs to flinch and cover their ears. One could have thought the house trembled by the force of her yell.
Goten jumped out of his skin and must have been prepared to ward off an invader, while still half asleep. He relaxed when he saw that it was only his mom. Unconsciously his stomach growled as he realized that his breakfast was waiting for him down stairs. But as soon as he saw the 'look' on his mom's face, he froze and wondered what he had done wrong.
"Good, It's about time you got up. Now hurry and get dressed and ready to go."
Goten gazed his mother in confusion, "Why? Are we going anywhere today?"
Chichi let out a frustrated sigh and hollered. "BECAUSE YOUR CLASS STARTS IN LESS THEN 10 MINUTES!"
"NANDAIO?"
Within a split second he was digging through his drawers searching for some descent clothes to wear to school. And horridly pulled on his pants, jumping up and down on one foot trying to get his other leg in the jeans in the process of pulling on a T-shirt with blue sleeves and a blue collar and blue words that said 'GOTEN SON'. He threw on his orange boots and his watch. Then he stuffed all of his schoolbooks into his black book bag, zipped it up half way and through it over his shoulder. He zanzoukened out into the hall and down the stairs crabbed a piece of toast and raced out the door with it in his mouth.
His parents watched him out the window as he transformed into a Super Saiya- jin and took off into the air.
Videl-san sighed and hoped that her brother-in-law would have a nice day at school. She was about to head into the kitchen to help Chichi clean dishes when she saw a capsule labeled 'Goten's Lunch' on the table. "Oh, look guys. Goten forgot his lunch."
Goku chuckled, "In that case, he'll be back."
As if on cue, Goten raced back into the house nearly knocking over a vase with flowers in it and started to look around wildly for something. His black every which way hair was replaced with flaming strait up golden hair. His coil black eyes had turned green and were darting around in search for something. "Hay has anyone seen a capsule."
Videl held it up. "Is this it?"
"Yea, that's it. Thanks Videl-san! See ya later!" With that said he raced out the same way he came in knocking and breaking that bran new vase that was seated by the door and was long gone to hear his mothers shrieks about the vase.
Chichi sighed "I do hope Goten has a better day at school today..."
"Ah, don't worry about it, mom. Goten will be fine, besides he'll have Trunks to help him through his problems." Gohon said while doing bills.
"I hope so..." Chichi thought.
~*~
As soon as Goten had taken to the air, he powered up to his fullest and charged in the direction of the school at light speed. All the while cursing himself, "MAN! I can't believe I slept in that long! I'm going to have to really move!" He past over forests, oceans, and towns so quickly that they looked like mere colors to him. He looked at his watch, which told him he now had 8 minutes to get to class before the tardy bell rings. But he couldn't go any faster then this. Sometimes he wished he could teleport like his father. "There it is." He spotted the high school dead ahead; the junior high should be a couple of blocks ahead of that. He put on little bit more burst of speed and was there within a few seconds. As he screeched to a halt in mid-air he powered back down to normal form and landed lightly on the roof. He ran towards the door which appeared to be locked; but because of the fact that he was half alien he tore the door clean off its hinges with a loud crack. He zanzoukened down the stairs and into the halls and took off in the direction of his homeroom. He half ran, half flew down the halls and stairs to the second floor. His watch now told him that he now had less then 4 minutes to get to class. He thought has he turned the corner and yelped in startlement as he spotted one of the adults coming his way, he tried to dodge to the right but didn't see that cleaning cart when. he crashed into it.
{SPLASH} {BANG} {KONG!}
The force of the head on collision had knocked him up and over the cart as it tipped and fell over spilling all of the bucket and jugs of liquids all over the place making the floor very slippery. The woman let out a startle shriek as she slipped on the liquids. Everything started to go in slow motion as Goten did a flip in mid-air and landed on the woman and the liquids. While trying to regain balance both the woman and Goten pushed each other in opposite directions. Goten was flung into a large plant in the corner, his hard head shattering the vase and knocking the plant over, spilling dirt everywhere. The woman skated across the floor and went rolling until her back was up against a wall. Goten lay on his back making the 'demon be gone' sign with his hands, spirals going in circles in his eyes as he lost consciousness.
It took the person a few minutes to regain herself. She was shocked as she gaped at her surroundings and saw the mess in front of her. Her eyes then settled on a small boy lying on his back near the tree, which has also been knocked over. She shrugged off the fact that she was now dirty and wet and a little busied and crawled over to the boy to get a better look. The frown that had appeared on her face deepened when she saw that it was the runner up of the last tournament, Son Goten. She dragged him with her to some dry ground and staggered to her feet. She picked him up with out a word and limped towards the nurse's office.
As soon as a certain lavender haired young man heard of the accident, he asked to be excused from class so that he could do school work in the nurse's office and watch over his best friend.
~*~
As soon as Goten opened his eyes he had to blink furiously because of the blinding light that came in through the window. He sat up and looked around. He wasn't in his room back at home. Everything was white... the walls, floor, sea line, bed, linens and furniture. He noticed a few pictures of sick people on the walls as well as cat scans. So he realized that he was in the nurse's office at his school. As far as how and why was he in that room, he had no idea. But he found a way to get answers when he saw that his best friend, Trunks had his back turned and appeared to be in deep thought.
"Heya Trunks, What're you do'en here?"
Trunks must have jumped 5 feet into the air, his hair standing on end and was suspended in mid air. His books and his pencil went flying in all directions and all over the floor. It was curious that Trunks looked like he was going to ward off an ambush; but relaxed when he saw that it was only Goten. He let out a long agonizing sigh before he started to turn an interesting shade of scarlet. "Goten don't scare me like that! You almost gave me a heart attack."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
"So are you feeling alright?"
"I feel a little dizzy and confused..."
Trunks sighed, "What is the last thing that you remember?"
Goten looked at him for a moment before trying to concentrate. " Let see the last thing that I remember is trying to get to class before the teacher did, I turned a corner and saw someone in front of me then... nothing... "
"You crashed into the principle while on your way to class."
"Oh..." was all Goten could say knowing that he is in some really deep trouble now...
After another check up from the nurse Goten was aloud to go back to class. The counselor stopped him before he could leave the office. "Son Goten, you will have to clean up the mess you made with the principle before you head to class. Also because of what happened you now have detention for a week, you will have to write the sentence, 'I will not run in the hall way and I will never be late to class again.' 1,000 times. Is this clear?"
Goten sighed, "Yes, mame."
"Trunks, you had better head back to class as well or you'll be late and get a tardy." the counselor told Trunks.
"Hia, I'll see you later, Goten." Trunks said as he headed for class.
"Right..."
As soon as Goten had all the utensils necessary to clean up that mess he got to work. He picked up the cart and while floating in the so to not to slip on the liquid and rolled the cart to a dry part of the floor. After that he picked up the plant and moved it then began to soak up the liquids into cloth and then mopped up the floor to make in nice a shinny the way it was before. Then he headed for class. The teacher asked him for a note if he has one. He gave the teacher the note that was from the counselor and took a seat. He sat in the desk right behind and to the side of Trunks. He took out his math book and some paper.
It has been up to 15 minutes, no matter how hard he tried to keep up with the class he just kept on dozing off...
(Goten found he walking through an endless darkness. He saw a light up a head, and found that a person was admitting the light. It was a guy that looked just like his father only he had a nasty scar on his left cheek; a red bandanna in his glowing spiky hair. He just seemed to be just concentrating on something. He wore all black clothes: Baggy pants, shirt, boots, and gloves that had the fingers sticking out of them. There was a tattoo on his right shoulder, it was a scale and cross bones.
Goten was confused about this guy, he couldn't quite put his finger on it but there was something about this guy that was familiar to him... but what?
All of a sudden there was a flash of light so bright that he had to cover himself up. When he opened his eyes back up he found himself in front of a woman of some sort. She looked somewhat like Piccolo only with lighter skin color; she had red hair and wore a skimpy outfit of some sort. He icy eyes gazed upon him then she held out a hand to him and asked him to come with her...
"What do you want.........")
{SPLASH!!!!!}
Goten jumped out of his skins when he was showered with freezing water. While shivering from the cold he looked around and found himself still in the classroom with everyone staring at him. He growled and glanced towards Trunks expecting him being the one to pull this prank only to find Trunks staring back at him with an innocent look on his face.
"SON GOTEN!"
He looked in front of him and found himself to be nose to nose with Mrs. Pantene...
"WAAAAAAAAAA! Y-yes mame?"
Goten sat up strait and waited for what his teacher had to say. Mrs. Pantene sighed before continuing. "Mr. Son, this is the third time this week that you did this and I have not yet told the counselor or the principle about this, but this has to stop so I'm going to tell them today. Now I want you to get those buckets of water and go and stand in the hall until class is over with. Now shoo."
Goten hurriedly rushed out the door without spilling the water. He just stood there for a long time thinking to himself...
"I'll be glad when today is over with. I don't think I should head home right away, maybe I'll just find dad and talk with him about this. Yea that what I'll do..."
{BAM}
Suddenly the door to his classroom slammed open and the teacher walked out and into the hall and closed it. "Son Goten, I thought that the rules are no talking in the hall? You are disturbing my class!"
Goten winced, "I'm sorry Mrs. Pant leg, it's just that I'm having a bad day and." Goten trailed off miserably.
"Go to the principle's office and give him this note." As soon as she made sure that Goten had the note she turned and headed back into the classroom closing the door behind her.
Goten groaned. he thought as he headed towards the principle's office.
~*~
Trunks sighed as he went back to his schoolbooks.
"Trunks, could read this next paragraph, please?"
"Right..." Trunks said as he looked into his book for a few minutes then smiled at the teacher weakly...
"Um, Which paragraph am I reading...?"
The teacher frowned and calmly said, "The third paragraph..."
Trunks nodded, "Then Mr. Sataan made friends with a mystery fat pink man named 'Majin Buu' and has become his top student. His daughter Videl has shown her strength and has beaten her father in battle. Everyone thinks that she could have been the one to defeat Cell..."
"Good, thank you Trunks." ----------------------------------------- "Lets see here...5x + 8 = 56? Uh... 56 - 8 = 49... So that means that.... 49 / 5 = 9/4ths..." Math has always been Goten's worst subject in school. And it just had to be Algebra that he was studying... "UGH! I HATE MATH! I WISH NEECHAN WAS HERE TO DO THIS FOR ME!!!!"
"Goten? One more word from you and I'll triple your school work!" Principle Kennedy yelled from her office.
Goten sighed, he really wished that he had stayed home that day. He already had enough trouble on his hands.
As if on cue the lunch bell rung. Goten smiled to him, he has been waiting for that darn bell to ring for the last 45 minutes. So feeling on him he looked towards the counselor for an excuse to go to lunch. After giving him a hard stare, she finally dismissed him to lunch. Goten let out a happy cheer and raced out the door to get his lunch and meat Trunks at their usual spot.
~*~
As soon as Goten put his books up and pulled out that capsule the resembled his lunch he headed out into the back schoolyards to find Trunks so that they could eat and talk about stuff, hopefully with no interruptions this time. Last time they interrupted by the Latest School Bully. He was picking on the weak again so they had to stop him. Trunks beat up his pales while Goten just bruised him up and through a lemon pie strait into his face, knocking him out cold with the taste of lemon all over his 'beautiful face' and clothes. Hopefully they won't have to worry about anything like that today.
As soon as he found Trunks seated underneath their usual tree that they spend time at. As soon as he got their he decided to surprise Trunks by launching at him from behind, but however Trunks was prepared for it and pined Goten underneath him with in a split second. Goten groaned. "How come you always know where and when I do that, Trunks?" Trunks chuckled, "That's because you haven't learned the element of surprise, Goten." Goten stared at him in confusion. Trunks sighed in annoyance. "In other words, you keep on forgetting to hide your power level. I told you this a thousand times Goten!" "Sorry..." Goten laughed in embarrassment.
~*~
BOM!
As soon as the dust cleared their lay a picnic table completely covered with food. Both Trunks and Goten took a seat and began to dig in. They took their time even though they were literally inhaling the food. It wasn't until something small and hard smacked Goten in the jaw.
"Owwwwww..."
Goten looked down in front of him and found that it was a stone that hit him. Then...
"HAY, YOU! RUNT! I hope your wearing your diapers because your going to be crying real soon as I finish with you. You're going to pay for humiliating me yesterday. You Little Runt!"
Goten groaned as he tried to ignore Atoka as he and his friends approached. Atoka slammed his hands on the table making the dishes clatter on the table gently. Both boys ignored him and continued to eat. This made him even more angry so he knocked all of the dished out and onto the ground. A bowl of soup spilled all over Goten's school clothes. Trunks growled in great annoyance and stood up and yelled.
"Why don't you go bother someone else you piece of shit? Can't you see that this is not a good time for Goten?"
Atoka gasped and glared at Trunks before screaming out in anger. "WHY YOU LITTLE FREAK! HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT! YOU ARE THE LITTLE PEICE OF SHIT!!!" Then he through a punch at Trunks who easily dodged it before kicking Atoka away from him.
"Get lost you fool."
"MAKE ME COOLADE HEAD!"
While Trunks and Atoka argued and fought, Goten just sat there completely in a trance.
Finally Goten could not stand it any longer and powered up into a Super Saiya-jin. "STOP IT!!!!" Goten self destructed, blowing up the yard and a quarter of the school. Trunks had taken the now unconscious burnt bullies up into the sky. Thank Kami there were no other students in this area or so he thought. The dust cleared and Goten remained still standing except for the fact that he now had a tail. Trunks landed and dropped the bullies and suggested that he and Goten skipped the rest of school for the day. Goten agreed immediately and they both took to the air.
~*~
Goku and Vegeta were on their way to a deserted training ground. Vegeta was being his usual impatient self, saying that training was much more important then spending time with Chichi or in his case, having to be stuck being Bulma's slave while going to the mall on a shopping trip. As soon as he found out, he ditched her immediately leaving her to fume over his stubbornness. They had just passed over Sataan City when an explosion appeared in the direction of the schools.
"What the!!!" Goku yelped as he came to a halt in mid air to stare at the now bellowing mushroom shaped cloud that was diuretically over the area where his youngest son went to school. Then only two seconds later he felt his son's chi shoot through the roof.
Vegeta had also stopped in mid air to gaze in the direction of the mess. His eyes showed slightly troubled features but no other emotions. He too had sensed Kackarotto's second brats energy fly. "Che, looks to me like your brat is having a mental problem, Kackarotto. This is what, the 6th time that something like this has happened?"
"The 4th Vegeta! C'mon let see if there are any survivors." Goku hollered over his shoulder as he was already heading towards the base of the mushroom cloud. Vegeta grunted in annoyance and followed.
Almost half of the school was demolished, there was a large group of people gathering around the wreckage and already Fire fighters and police men were there searching through the ruble in search of survivors as well as research teams looking for the cause of this. There was a large crater to the left, completely covering the area that used to be the left side of the school as well as the playground. Goku landed near the middle of the crater and looked around. He spotted a lot of corpses lying in the crater. There were 15 dead bodies in this area. They looked to be 5 or 6 year olds. Goku grimaced once he saw them and spotted a heap of slightly burnt kids getting up off to the side and looking around shocked at what had happened. Vegeta just landed and was merely standing there gazing around at the wreckage. Goku approached the burnt kids and asked them how this had happened.
"That freak did this! A gaki that looks like you, sir." Was their answer?
Goku stared at them before looking around at the wreckage again. 'Goten did this? This is the biggest thing that he has done yet! I wonder what is making him loose control like this?'
"Lets go, Kackarotto. There is nothing that we can do here." Vegeta tried to tell his friend.
Goku shook his head saying that he'll stay and try to find out from the schools what's been going on but Vegeta insisted that they go to the training ground and get this off their minds. "Besides, training in far more important then a few dead bodies! Lets go!" he took to the air and waited impatiently for Goku to pick up the pace.
"Right, ok. I'll have to talk to Goten about this later if he shows up at home or not. Then I'll have to look for him. But I need to get this off my mind. Ok lets go fight!" with these words Goku took to the air startling the hell out of the school bullies and head off with Vegeta to a training ground nearby to start their training for the day.
~*~
"Ah... Like I always said, flying is something very relaxing ne Goten?" Trunks asked his best friend as they flew through the air. For the past 15 minutes Trunks has been trying to get Goten into an interesting conversation while trying the cheer him up. After blowing up half of the school, the poor boy felt sick to the stomach. Goten simply answered everything with a "Hia." Trunks sighed, what else could he do to get Goten's spirit up. Then for the first time he noticed a long brown fluffy tail that just appeared there.
"Hey Goten?"
Goten finally looked at him in question. There has been silence for almost 20 minutes now. "Nani?"
"When did you get a tail?" Trunks asked motioning to the newly grown tail.
For the first time, Goten noticed it as well. He reached back and grabbed it as soon as he stopped his flight and just hovered there, he pinched to see if it was real. He yelped as a short shock of pain shot up his spine. It was real all right. So he shrugged it off and answered Trunks' question. "I don't know how it happened. It just did."
Trunks sighed then got an idea that should be fun. "Hey, Goten. What do you say we go to a nearby desert and play?"
A Son smile finally formed on Goten's face as he nodded excitedly. "Yea, sure why not. Lets do it!"
Trunks smirked and nodded and looked around. They were hovering over the ocean with lots of deserted islands scattered everywhere. He glanced into the distance and saw a huge deserted island. Then almost immediately he sensed two large power levels battling against each other over there. He recognized them to be his father's chi and Goku-san chi. "Hey lets go over there. Our dads are fighting over in that direction. So lets fight nearby. Ok?"
Goten nodded and he and Trunks took off in that direction.
~*~
After landing in a clear sandy desert. There were a few cliffs scattered everywhere, a slight breeze passed and the sand flew with the breeze.. There was whistle through the wind. The two boys had just dressed themselves in the Martial Arts clothes that they carry with them everywhere. They tossed their stuff to the side and adopted a battle stance. The stared each other down waiting to see who will make the first move. Then they both launched at each other both blocking their first attacks. They stayed in the position where they were pressing one arm against the other. Then after growling and glaring at each other they separated and attacked again this time going up in the air where they started to trade punched and kicks. Each of them was matching each other's movements perfectly. Then after a powerful attack from each of them they separated once again. Staring each other down. Trunks then disappeared and reappeared in front of Goten to throw a punch at him, which wasn't blocked. Goten angrily shot back but had it blocked.
"Your getting slow, Goten." Trunks said thrusting his knee up at Goten.
Goten saw the attack and blocked it. "We'll see who is getting slow."
Trunks growled and jumped away from Goten saying, "Oh come on let's get serious, AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Trunks transformed into a Super Saiya-jin. "Right, AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Goten also transformed. They both disappeared. The only thing you could see was flashed of light ever now at then, you could also hear grunts and battle cries. Finally they reappeared with Goten on the ground and Trunks up in the air preparing to do a chi blast.
"KAME.... AHME...." Goten started out, as his battle oara got bigger. Chi forming in his hands as waited for Trunks to start. Trunks smirked. Trunks then through an energy disk at Goten. Goten was startled by this and quickly made an after image as the disk went strait into the ground. Then he heard Trunks shout a title of his attack and he saw a large energy blast headed in his direction so he concentrated then released his own blast. "HAAAAAA!"
The two blasts collided then there was a huge explosion. Trunks' blast was disabled but Goten's blast wasn't as it continued to its real target. "SHIT!" Trunks was barely able to avoid that as a portion of his shirt was burned away. He watched as the blast disappeared over the horizon. Then he realized that his guard was off... He felt a sharp pain on his back, stomach and then head as he rocketed towards the ground. He didn't move for several minutes, then his hair turned back to normal. For once in a lifetime Goten actually won a battle with Trunks. Goten heaved a big breath as he too powered down. Good luck was starting to turn his way after all.
~*~
Meanwhile nearby, Goku and Vegeta were also fighting. After doing another couple of attacks they separated and glared each other down. Before they could continue there was a huge flash of light off in the distance. The two Siaya-jins were startled as he gazed off into the distance. In an instant both felt two familiar ki's fighting each other.
:"Isn't that Goten and Trunks? Great maybe we can get an answer out of them about how that happened at school. Come on Vegeta lets go and watch their fight." He powered down and headed over to the other battlefield.
Vegeta nodded and also powered down and they both flew off in the direction where the two kids were fighting. When they got there they watch as Trunks through and energy disk at Goten who dodged it. Then Trunks thrust out a Burning Attack. And Goten finished with a Kamehameha. Trunks' blast was disabled while Goten's Kamehameha wave continued on and hit Trunks whom barely missed it. Then Goten appeared behind his best friend and kneed him and hammered him in the spine at the same time. Then Goten finished the job and hammered Trunks in the back of the head knocking him out instantly. Goten won. Trunks lost...
Vegeta growled... "Shit... Damn that brat... Kackarotto.
"Huh?" Goku asked and turned to look at Vegeta.
"Damn you Kackarotto. You've been training that Brat without my knowing!"
"Um... No. I haven't been training Goten for a while now. Goten is acting like he had a bad day. That is probably why he pushed himself to win." Goku said as he turned to go and Congratulate his son on his win. Vegeta growled and followed.
"Hey Goten, nice job!" Goku hollered as he landed next to his son who had just powered down.
"Otousan!" Goten grinned at flew into his father's arms happy to see him. Goku grinned proudly back and ruffled the boy's hair that looked so much like his own. Trunks groaned and got up; once he saw his father he too greeted him though not as enthusiastically as Goten greeted his father. "Hi dad." Vegeta gave his son a death glare. "Brat, you will training twice a day from now on until he beat Kackarotto's brat! And no allowance for a week!" Trunks gaped at his father, "But dad! That's not fair!" "Life is never fair, brat!" Vegeta snarled.
Goku shrugged them off before placing a serious expression on his face before turning to the kids. "Goten what caused you to blow up the school earlier?"
It was Goten's turn to gape at his father. "How did you know. uh I was having a bad day." He said quickly cutting himself off mid sentence. He looked at Trunks for support that came to his aid. "Yea, we had gotten into an argument and Goten just lost control is all, he didn't mean it. It was my fault because I started the fight."
Vegeta instantly could tell that it was a lie. But didn't say anything.
Goku could also tell too. But he didn't push the matter thinking that he'll re ask that question when he and his son were alone.
"Lets go Trunks." Vegeta grabbed his son by the ear and proceeded to drag the boy up into the air with him. Trunks's yelping about let go but was ignored and dragged all the way home.
Goten and his father waited until Vegeta and Trunks were out of site before turning to each other. "Well let's get home, okay Goten." Goku said as he started to take to the air. Goten nodded and followed. Along the way Goku asked his son, "So, do you want to talk about how your day went at school?"
Goten looked at father in question. "Huh?"
Goku explained that he could tell that Goten must have had a bad day at school. There was no other explanation as to why he pushed himself to hard during the fight with Trunks. Goten sighed and admitted that he did have a bad day at school. He went right down the list of bad things that happened that day from the start to his dad.
1. He was late for school. 2. He crashed into the principle and made a mess. 3. He fell asleep during math class. 4. He was talking in the hall. 5. He 'talked back' to the secretary. 6. He got Detention. 7. He got picked on by the school bully. And 8. He lost his temper and blew up half of the school.
Goten also mentioned that he had a weird dream while he was sleeping during math class. In fact he has been having similar dreams for the past week. Goten told his father that they may be visions of his future but he doesn't know that.
Goku knew that Chichi wasn't going to like the sound of that. He was going to have to take the blame for what happened for Goten's sake. But when Goten mentioned those dreams he has been having and claims that they are visions of his future, it made him curious as to what kind of dreams they were. So he asked his son to share information with him about his dreams. Goten nodded then after some thinking he spoke.
" Well I see myself outside with Kasaan doing chores, when some spaceship of some kind lands and a alien steps out of it. The alien looks somewhat like Piccolo only it is a woman. She has red hair, her antennas sticking out and she appears to be wearing clothing similar to what human girls wear. She says something in another language that I couldn't understand then she tell me that I'm the 'Gateway' and that I must go with her to her home planet to meat the 'elders'. I refused and Kasaan tried to protect me. The next thing he know is that I can't move a muscle and then everything goes black... That's when I woke up."
Goku looked worried. That did not sound like an ordinary dream to him. "Did you say you've been having the same dream for the past week?"
"Yes, I've been having similar dreams each time. What do you suppose they mean, dad?"
Goku looked like he was in deep thought. I don't know what those dreams mean. But if they really are visions then I'm going to find out what they mean if they really come true that is...
"Daddy?"
Goku gazed at his son then smiled a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about them, Goten. I'm pretty sure that they mean nothing. What do you say we pick up a big fish before we head home?"
"OK."
~*~
"WHAAAAT! YOU DID WHAT??"
As soon as Goku and Goten got home they ate dinner with Gohon and Videl and Chichi. Afterwards Chichi asked her son how was school that day. Goku and Goten had cringed. They were both kind of hoping that she wouldn't ask. But they also knew that she was going to find out anyway so Goten told everyone what happened. Everyone except Goku was shocked to say the least. Especially Chichi...
Gohon and Videl took a hint and quickly left the room. Leaving Goku and Goten to take Chichi's tantrums.
"I can't believe you Goten. I thought you were smarter then this. Blowing up your own school...Falling asleep during *Math* class! You are grounded young man! You are not to see Trunks for a whole month. You will do nothing but studying, sleeping or eating for the next week."
"But mom it wasn't..."
"Don't you but mom me Son Goten!"
Goku butted in, "Chichi, don't you think that is a little severe?"
"You stay out of this Goku. Half of this is probably your fought. Look what yours, Vegeta's and Trunks' bad influence did to our son." Chichi sobbed. "My baby has become a Pucker too...Waaaaahhhhhhh"
"Chichi, it's not like that..." Goku sighed in defeat knowing that trying to explain things were not going to help any so he gather his wife up in his arms and tried to help her stop crying. "Sssshhhh don't cry Chichi. Please." Goku gently rocked her from side to side. When Chichi stopped and looked into her husbands coil black eyes and smiled. "Oh Goku what could I ever do without you..." Goku pressing his lips againsed hers to cut her off. As he kissed her he started to pull down her sleeve but chichi caught herself realizing that they were still in the kitchen and Goten was in their presents."Oh no you don't. Now meet me in our room. Go on. Shoo." Goku let a disappointed groan as Chichi pushed him out of the room.
Goten thought.
"GOTEN!"
Goten jumped and quickly headed upstairs to his room.
And hour later Goten was not able to get any sleep because of all the 'noise' coming from his parents room but he paid it to no mind. He was finally able to get some sleep after about another ninedy minutes. His last thought was 'I wonder what my future will bring...'
That is a fair question for young Goten. What will his future Bring? The only thing that I can say is that his life is about to take a sad but good turn starting on the next chapter of SAGA 1 A New Life; Goten's Dreams.
PART 1 A New Life
Chapter 1 A Bad Day at School
The 439 Mountain Range Area was a beautiful place, the mountains here were all curved at their peeks with patches of moss and an occasional branch of a plant sticking out the sides of them. The tallest of these mountains was called Mt. Paesal. Hardly anyone lived here because it was heard of as the home of very nasty demons when these 'demons' were really just large dinosaurs and wolves and large animal-like hunters who think they are all big and mighty and powerful. But still people don't go near these mountains because of it. The only reason that they would go near these mountains is for a dare or something. That is what they say. It was nighttime with morning just around the corner and the sky was dark with tens of thousands of stars out. The sounds of crickets and frogs singing their night song filled the air. The ground was moistened with dew, and just slightly fogged the trees were. In the darkness of the woods there were small lights flickering as the fireflies danced in the night air. In the distance to the east, a dim light peeked over the horizon. The light grew brighter as the sky around the light changed from a dark Bluish-black to a spectacular Pinkish-purple. The rays of the sun put light on the plateaus of Mt. Paesal. The shadows moved to rise on the ground behind every cliff on the opposite side from the sunlight. The birds started to wake and sing their morning song. Dew dribbled off of the leaves of some underbrush as a dragonfly landed on a flower nearby before taking flight again. Soon twilight will come soon. About fifteen miles away from Mt. Paesal was a two story round house. On the left hand side of the house is a brick house built into it with a straw roof. Large oak trees on either side of this house, a flower garden on every window seal except for the bedrooms. As the light touched the house, the white paint reflected the beauty of the sunrise.
The camera then turns to the window leading into the kitchen of the house where a woman was leaning of a pot filled with ramen, busily stirring in raw scrambled eggs into the noodles as well as some chicken flavored seasonings. The woman had long black silky hair that was currently tied up in a bun, a few strands dangling in front of her ears. Her dark black- purple eyes sparkled with the joy of cooking as they concentrated on the woman's task. Her smooth cream-colored skin shown beautifully in the light of the sunrise. The woman wore a dark purple dress with pink pants underneath and an apron over it. Her hands were busy with chopping celery into bits to add of the other vegetables that she'll be adding to the ramen. The name of this woman was Son Chichi Ox. The daughter of the Ox King and is technically a princesses as well as an Amazon. But instead of being at the castle she was in a soft country house with her own family. When she was young, she was somewhat of a coward but was able to get through her tasks out of instinct. Back then she wore a skimpy Amazon outfit with a helmet with some kind of blade upon it. When she got older she married a man that chooses fighting over anything but always puts his family's first. When he fights, he fights for them to keep them safe as well as the rest of the world. But on other occasions when the chance came he would choose fighting over family anytime. At Chichi had to live with that several times. But that was the past this is the present and she has a happy family with two sons. One of them is married and she will soon be a grandmother. She can't wait. As Chichi turns to flip the French toast another woman was setting the dinning room table. She had short black hair cut into a buzz cut and was a little spiky. She had sky blue eyes and silky tanned colored skin. She wore spandex black pants with a white and pink tee shirt. Her name was Videl Sataan. But now she was Son Videl because no more then a month ago, she married the eldest son of Chichi. And she was pregnant with a little girl. (They found that out while at a hospital visit a while ago.) Videl as been living with the Sons ever since she got married. She was busily setting the table with plates and silver wear. Sitting at the table waiting for breakfast to be served was a tall handsome young man with black spiky hair the defied gravity and sprayed out in all directions. He had coil black eyes and tanned muscle bound skin. He was a fighter and a hero. He wore a pair of blue sweat pants and a white tank top tucked in. His name is Son Goku, also known as Kackarotto. Kackarotto is his Saiya-jin name but he prefers the name that he was brought up with and that is Son Goku. He came to earth as a baby and hit his head and was made to be the hero of the planet and the universe. He has defeated so many evil beings and is known as a saint. He is so carefree and naive and innocent and, and pure! Sitting next to him was his eldest son named after his grandfather, Son Gohon. Gohon was a Professor and had top grades in all of his classes. And now he was married to Videl and was soon to be a father in a couple of months. Gohon in his youth has also saved the planet a couple of times too. He is a retired fighter.
At the moment both father and son were laughing about something with the women.
"Yea! Dad, don't you remember that time when Yajarobie tried to join Vegeta when he first came to earth! Hahaha! The fool had no idea what he was getting into!" Gohon cackled as he recalled that memory.
Goku nodded and chuckled. "Oh yea, Vegeta wasn't exactly in the 'mood' to deal with Yajarobie because he was desperate to kill us. But you beat him good when you changed into an Ozaru, Gohon." He said with pride towards his eldest son who grinned in return.
Chichi scowled as she bopped her husband over the head with her frying pan. "Now Goku-sa, you didn't even ask me if Gohon could fight back then! You had no idea how I was feeling about hearing about you getting killed and Gohon getting kidnapped by Piccolo and was gone for over a year. I never felt more alone in me life!"
"Ah, but we came back didn't we, Chi?" Goku replied while rubbing his sore head. "We came back to you."
"Yes and then you both took off again to find the Namekien dragonballs! And left me alone again! Gohon was only with me for no more then a few weeks and you Goku-sa were with me for less then a month before you went to help Gohon without a though of how I felt! You thoughtless bastard!" Chichi yelled mockingly and turned her back to her husband and headed towards the stove. She continued to stir the stew until she felt strong arms wrap around her.
"Chi, you know that I fight for you, Gohon and Goten. I'm sorry if I left you alone to many times in the past. I thought about you all the time when I was dead. And I missed you."
"Down boy! Not in front of Gohon please!" she tried to growl but it turned out to be a purr as Goku played around with her bond mark on her neck, making her squirm and purr.
"He has seen it before, Chi. Besides he did this to Videl, I can see the bonding mark on her that she is trying to cover up with make-up." Goku purred without looking at Videl who blushed in shock. "How did you know.that?"
Goku chuckled as he glanced at her over Chichi shoulder, "A Saiya-jin always can tell, Daughter-in-law."
Gohon smirked, "Your starting to sound like Vegeta, dad."
Goku made a monk horrified look and let go of chichi and hopped on the heals of his feet. "Oh no, am I turning into Vegeta brother or am I just going insane!"
Everybody laughed. Videl had to stop laughing pretty quickly because she felt a sudden erg to go to the bathroom or to the nearest sink and excused her self and vomited into the kitchen trashcan. Gohon got up and went to see if she was ok. She assured him that she can handle it and finished. She heaved a sigh of relief and slowly sat down at the table. "Are you sure its going to ok, huni?" Gohon tried again. "Its just morning sickness, Gohon." Chichi replied.
"It was the same with you and Goten when I was pregnant. The sickness will wear off in a couple of months. But don't worry about Videl, it is normal for pregnant women."
Gohon nodded, "If you say so mom. Videl, didn't you say you have another doctors appointment today?"
The girl nodded, "Yes, I do. Around 11:00 this morning. At Sataan Private Hospital, in Sataan City." Gohon nodded in confirmation, "Alright, I'll take you there then." Thank you Gohon."
~*~
Chichi had just finished making the stew when she thought about her second son, Goten. There have been some strange things happening around him lately so she asked if Goku knew anything about it. Goku put on a thoughtful look for a few minutes. "Yea, your right Chi, I've heard rumors from Bulma that Goten has been acting up a lot. Loosing his temper lately but for what reasons, I don't know."
Gohon nodded, "I heard similar rumors from Yampcha who claimed to have seen Goten loose his temper and destroy half of his home in the desert. He told me that he doesn't know what is causing him to do this. There that and rumors from Trunks that he's been falling asleep in class at school a lot and acting like he hasn't had any sleep in days. I wonder what's up with him." He glanced up towards the staircase as though hoping that his brother would come stumbling down the stairs to give them answers. But the staircase remained empty of the little Demi-Saiya-jin.
Chichi also glanced at the stairs but turned to the clock on the wall, which told her that his alarm clock should have gone off about 15 minutes ago. And wondered what was keeping her son from coming down for breakfast. She shrugged it off and started placing dishes on the table.
~*~
The camera turns and heads up the stairs and down the hall on the second floor past several family pictures and to a open door to the left at the end of the hallway. Inside the room was dark but light from the sunrise was seeping in through the open window. The room was littered with clothes and books and toys. It was a simple small bedroom. A chest of drawers in the corner filled with all kinds of clothes, mostly orange uniforms, blue gis, black and red gis, and some several pairs of jeans and matching t-shirts. In another corner were a small desk with schoolbooks and a pad of paper and a pencil on it. A full-length mirror right next to his chest of drawers, a twin size bed in another corner next to the window with a table, which had a clock that says it's about 8:04 am. Five more seconds past when.
BEEEP! BEEEP! BEEEP!
The alarm went off at 8:05 am. The form sleeping on the bed let out an annoyed grunt and rolled over onto his stomach, he reached over to the table wear his alarm clock was and felt around for it.
BEEEP! BEEEP! BEEEP!
That sound was getting too annoying. So the 10-year-old boy opened one eye half way to glare at the thing making all that noise. He couldn't find the snooze button so a formed a small energy blast in his hand and blasted the clock clean off the table. The chi blast did it's job and destroyed the clock, sending pieces of it flaring in all direction all over the floor near to table where it once sat. Once that was done, the boy rolled over, getting his feet tangled up even more in his blanket. With in a few seconds, the boy whose hair defied gravity and flared out in all direction was snoring peacefully.
~*~
Chichi was just finishing placing all of the food on the tables when a loud crash sounded from the floor above causing everyone to pause in what they were doing and glance up at ceiling. Gohon was getting up from where he sat as if to go and check what that noise was. But Chichi stopped him and said that she'll go see what it was. Gohon argued, "But mom it could be an intruder and you probably won't be able to handle it!"
"I can take care of myself Gohon, besides it was probably just Goten. You sit down and eat your breakfast." She was already heading up the stairs as she said this. Gohon sighed with defeat and settled back down to listen for any sign of what is going on upstairs. ---------------------------------------- Her eyes narrowed as a frown came across her face when she saw the destroyed alarm clock lying in a heap in the foot of the table next to the bed. Her frown deepened when she saw her son still asleep. She heaved a deep breath before shouting out at the top of her lungs. "SON GOTEN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! GET UP!" The outburst caused the people downstairs to flinch and cover their ears. One could have thought the house trembled by the force of her yell.
Goten jumped out of his skin and must have been prepared to ward off an invader, while still half asleep. He relaxed when he saw that it was only his mom. Unconsciously his stomach growled as he realized that his breakfast was waiting for him down stairs. But as soon as he saw the 'look' on his mom's face, he froze and wondered what he had done wrong.
"Good, It's about time you got up. Now hurry and get dressed and ready to go."
Goten gazed his mother in confusion, "Why? Are we going anywhere today?"
Chichi let out a frustrated sigh and hollered. "BECAUSE YOUR CLASS STARTS IN LESS THEN 10 MINUTES!"
"NANDAIO?"
Within a split second he was digging through his drawers searching for some descent clothes to wear to school. And horridly pulled on his pants, jumping up and down on one foot trying to get his other leg in the jeans in the process of pulling on a T-shirt with blue sleeves and a blue collar and blue words that said 'GOTEN SON'. He threw on his orange boots and his watch. Then he stuffed all of his schoolbooks into his black book bag, zipped it up half way and through it over his shoulder. He zanzoukened out into the hall and down the stairs crabbed a piece of toast and raced out the door with it in his mouth.
His parents watched him out the window as he transformed into a Super Saiya- jin and took off into the air.
Videl-san sighed and hoped that her brother-in-law would have a nice day at school. She was about to head into the kitchen to help Chichi clean dishes when she saw a capsule labeled 'Goten's Lunch' on the table. "Oh, look guys. Goten forgot his lunch."
Goku chuckled, "In that case, he'll be back."
As if on cue, Goten raced back into the house nearly knocking over a vase with flowers in it and started to look around wildly for something. His black every which way hair was replaced with flaming strait up golden hair. His coil black eyes had turned green and were darting around in search for something. "Hay has anyone seen a capsule."
Videl held it up. "Is this it?"
"Yea, that's it. Thanks Videl-san! See ya later!" With that said he raced out the same way he came in knocking and breaking that bran new vase that was seated by the door and was long gone to hear his mothers shrieks about the vase.
Chichi sighed "I do hope Goten has a better day at school today..."
"Ah, don't worry about it, mom. Goten will be fine, besides he'll have Trunks to help him through his problems." Gohon said while doing bills.
"I hope so..." Chichi thought.
~*~
As soon as Goten had taken to the air, he powered up to his fullest and charged in the direction of the school at light speed. All the while cursing himself, "MAN! I can't believe I slept in that long! I'm going to have to really move!" He past over forests, oceans, and towns so quickly that they looked like mere colors to him. He looked at his watch, which told him he now had 8 minutes to get to class before the tardy bell rings. But he couldn't go any faster then this. Sometimes he wished he could teleport like his father. "There it is." He spotted the high school dead ahead; the junior high should be a couple of blocks ahead of that. He put on little bit more burst of speed and was there within a few seconds. As he screeched to a halt in mid-air he powered back down to normal form and landed lightly on the roof. He ran towards the door which appeared to be locked; but because of the fact that he was half alien he tore the door clean off its hinges with a loud crack. He zanzoukened down the stairs and into the halls and took off in the direction of his homeroom. He half ran, half flew down the halls and stairs to the second floor. His watch now told him that he now had less then 4 minutes to get to class. He thought has he turned the corner and yelped in startlement as he spotted one of the adults coming his way, he tried to dodge to the right but didn't see that cleaning cart when. he crashed into it.
{SPLASH} {BANG} {KONG!}
The force of the head on collision had knocked him up and over the cart as it tipped and fell over spilling all of the bucket and jugs of liquids all over the place making the floor very slippery. The woman let out a startle shriek as she slipped on the liquids. Everything started to go in slow motion as Goten did a flip in mid-air and landed on the woman and the liquids. While trying to regain balance both the woman and Goten pushed each other in opposite directions. Goten was flung into a large plant in the corner, his hard head shattering the vase and knocking the plant over, spilling dirt everywhere. The woman skated across the floor and went rolling until her back was up against a wall. Goten lay on his back making the 'demon be gone' sign with his hands, spirals going in circles in his eyes as he lost consciousness.
It took the person a few minutes to regain herself. She was shocked as she gaped at her surroundings and saw the mess in front of her. Her eyes then settled on a small boy lying on his back near the tree, which has also been knocked over. She shrugged off the fact that she was now dirty and wet and a little busied and crawled over to the boy to get a better look. The frown that had appeared on her face deepened when she saw that it was the runner up of the last tournament, Son Goten. She dragged him with her to some dry ground and staggered to her feet. She picked him up with out a word and limped towards the nurse's office.
As soon as a certain lavender haired young man heard of the accident, he asked to be excused from class so that he could do school work in the nurse's office and watch over his best friend.
~*~
As soon as Goten opened his eyes he had to blink furiously because of the blinding light that came in through the window. He sat up and looked around. He wasn't in his room back at home. Everything was white... the walls, floor, sea line, bed, linens and furniture. He noticed a few pictures of sick people on the walls as well as cat scans. So he realized that he was in the nurse's office at his school. As far as how and why was he in that room, he had no idea. But he found a way to get answers when he saw that his best friend, Trunks had his back turned and appeared to be in deep thought.
"Heya Trunks, What're you do'en here?"
Trunks must have jumped 5 feet into the air, his hair standing on end and was suspended in mid air. His books and his pencil went flying in all directions and all over the floor. It was curious that Trunks looked like he was going to ward off an ambush; but relaxed when he saw that it was only Goten. He let out a long agonizing sigh before he started to turn an interesting shade of scarlet. "Goten don't scare me like that! You almost gave me a heart attack."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
"So are you feeling alright?"
"I feel a little dizzy and confused..."
Trunks sighed, "What is the last thing that you remember?"
Goten looked at him for a moment before trying to concentrate. " Let see the last thing that I remember is trying to get to class before the teacher did, I turned a corner and saw someone in front of me then... nothing... "
"You crashed into the principle while on your way to class."
"Oh..." was all Goten could say knowing that he is in some really deep trouble now...
After another check up from the nurse Goten was aloud to go back to class. The counselor stopped him before he could leave the office. "Son Goten, you will have to clean up the mess you made with the principle before you head to class. Also because of what happened you now have detention for a week, you will have to write the sentence, 'I will not run in the hall way and I will never be late to class again.' 1,000 times. Is this clear?"
Goten sighed, "Yes, mame."
"Trunks, you had better head back to class as well or you'll be late and get a tardy." the counselor told Trunks.
"Hia, I'll see you later, Goten." Trunks said as he headed for class.
"Right..."
As soon as Goten had all the utensils necessary to clean up that mess he got to work. He picked up the cart and while floating in the so to not to slip on the liquid and rolled the cart to a dry part of the floor. After that he picked up the plant and moved it then began to soak up the liquids into cloth and then mopped up the floor to make in nice a shinny the way it was before. Then he headed for class. The teacher asked him for a note if he has one. He gave the teacher the note that was from the counselor and took a seat. He sat in the desk right behind and to the side of Trunks. He took out his math book and some paper.
It has been up to 15 minutes, no matter how hard he tried to keep up with the class he just kept on dozing off...
(Goten found he walking through an endless darkness. He saw a light up a head, and found that a person was admitting the light. It was a guy that looked just like his father only he had a nasty scar on his left cheek; a red bandanna in his glowing spiky hair. He just seemed to be just concentrating on something. He wore all black clothes: Baggy pants, shirt, boots, and gloves that had the fingers sticking out of them. There was a tattoo on his right shoulder, it was a scale and cross bones.
Goten was confused about this guy, he couldn't quite put his finger on it but there was something about this guy that was familiar to him... but what?
All of a sudden there was a flash of light so bright that he had to cover himself up. When he opened his eyes back up he found himself in front of a woman of some sort. She looked somewhat like Piccolo only with lighter skin color; she had red hair and wore a skimpy outfit of some sort. He icy eyes gazed upon him then she held out a hand to him and asked him to come with her...
"What do you want.........")
{SPLASH!!!!!}
Goten jumped out of his skins when he was showered with freezing water. While shivering from the cold he looked around and found himself still in the classroom with everyone staring at him. He growled and glanced towards Trunks expecting him being the one to pull this prank only to find Trunks staring back at him with an innocent look on his face.
"SON GOTEN!"
He looked in front of him and found himself to be nose to nose with Mrs. Pantene...
"WAAAAAAAAAA! Y-yes mame?"
Goten sat up strait and waited for what his teacher had to say. Mrs. Pantene sighed before continuing. "Mr. Son, this is the third time this week that you did this and I have not yet told the counselor or the principle about this, but this has to stop so I'm going to tell them today. Now I want you to get those buckets of water and go and stand in the hall until class is over with. Now shoo."
Goten hurriedly rushed out the door without spilling the water. He just stood there for a long time thinking to himself...
"I'll be glad when today is over with. I don't think I should head home right away, maybe I'll just find dad and talk with him about this. Yea that what I'll do..."
{BAM}
Suddenly the door to his classroom slammed open and the teacher walked out and into the hall and closed it. "Son Goten, I thought that the rules are no talking in the hall? You are disturbing my class!"
Goten winced, "I'm sorry Mrs. Pant leg, it's just that I'm having a bad day and." Goten trailed off miserably.
"Go to the principle's office and give him this note." As soon as she made sure that Goten had the note she turned and headed back into the classroom closing the door behind her.
Goten groaned. he thought as he headed towards the principle's office.
~*~
Trunks sighed as he went back to his schoolbooks.
"Trunks, could read this next paragraph, please?"
"Right..." Trunks said as he looked into his book for a few minutes then smiled at the teacher weakly...
"Um, Which paragraph am I reading...?"
The teacher frowned and calmly said, "The third paragraph..."
Trunks nodded, "Then Mr. Sataan made friends with a mystery fat pink man named 'Majin Buu' and has become his top student. His daughter Videl has shown her strength and has beaten her father in battle. Everyone thinks that she could have been the one to defeat Cell..."
"Good, thank you Trunks." ----------------------------------------- "Lets see here...5x + 8 = 56? Uh... 56 - 8 = 49... So that means that.... 49 / 5 = 9/4ths..." Math has always been Goten's worst subject in school. And it just had to be Algebra that he was studying... "UGH! I HATE MATH! I WISH NEECHAN WAS HERE TO DO THIS FOR ME!!!!"
"Goten? One more word from you and I'll triple your school work!" Principle Kennedy yelled from her office.
Goten sighed, he really wished that he had stayed home that day. He already had enough trouble on his hands.
As if on cue the lunch bell rung. Goten smiled to him, he has been waiting for that darn bell to ring for the last 45 minutes. So feeling on him he looked towards the counselor for an excuse to go to lunch. After giving him a hard stare, she finally dismissed him to lunch. Goten let out a happy cheer and raced out the door to get his lunch and meat Trunks at their usual spot.
~*~
As soon as Goten put his books up and pulled out that capsule the resembled his lunch he headed out into the back schoolyards to find Trunks so that they could eat and talk about stuff, hopefully with no interruptions this time. Last time they interrupted by the Latest School Bully. He was picking on the weak again so they had to stop him. Trunks beat up his pales while Goten just bruised him up and through a lemon pie strait into his face, knocking him out cold with the taste of lemon all over his 'beautiful face' and clothes. Hopefully they won't have to worry about anything like that today.
As soon as he found Trunks seated underneath their usual tree that they spend time at. As soon as he got their he decided to surprise Trunks by launching at him from behind, but however Trunks was prepared for it and pined Goten underneath him with in a split second. Goten groaned. "How come you always know where and when I do that, Trunks?" Trunks chuckled, "That's because you haven't learned the element of surprise, Goten." Goten stared at him in confusion. Trunks sighed in annoyance. "In other words, you keep on forgetting to hide your power level. I told you this a thousand times Goten!" "Sorry..." Goten laughed in embarrassment.
~*~
BOM!
As soon as the dust cleared their lay a picnic table completely covered with food. Both Trunks and Goten took a seat and began to dig in. They took their time even though they were literally inhaling the food. It wasn't until something small and hard smacked Goten in the jaw.
"Owwwwww..."
Goten looked down in front of him and found that it was a stone that hit him. Then...
"HAY, YOU! RUNT! I hope your wearing your diapers because your going to be crying real soon as I finish with you. You're going to pay for humiliating me yesterday. You Little Runt!"
Goten groaned as he tried to ignore Atoka as he and his friends approached. Atoka slammed his hands on the table making the dishes clatter on the table gently. Both boys ignored him and continued to eat. This made him even more angry so he knocked all of the dished out and onto the ground. A bowl of soup spilled all over Goten's school clothes. Trunks growled in great annoyance and stood up and yelled.
"Why don't you go bother someone else you piece of shit? Can't you see that this is not a good time for Goten?"
Atoka gasped and glared at Trunks before screaming out in anger. "WHY YOU LITTLE FREAK! HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT! YOU ARE THE LITTLE PEICE OF SHIT!!!" Then he through a punch at Trunks who easily dodged it before kicking Atoka away from him.
"Get lost you fool."
"MAKE ME COOLADE HEAD!"
While Trunks and Atoka argued and fought, Goten just sat there completely in a trance.
Finally Goten could not stand it any longer and powered up into a Super Saiya-jin. "STOP IT!!!!" Goten self destructed, blowing up the yard and a quarter of the school. Trunks had taken the now unconscious burnt bullies up into the sky. Thank Kami there were no other students in this area or so he thought. The dust cleared and Goten remained still standing except for the fact that he now had a tail. Trunks landed and dropped the bullies and suggested that he and Goten skipped the rest of school for the day. Goten agreed immediately and they both took to the air.
~*~
Goku and Vegeta were on their way to a deserted training ground. Vegeta was being his usual impatient self, saying that training was much more important then spending time with Chichi or in his case, having to be stuck being Bulma's slave while going to the mall on a shopping trip. As soon as he found out, he ditched her immediately leaving her to fume over his stubbornness. They had just passed over Sataan City when an explosion appeared in the direction of the schools.
"What the!!!" Goku yelped as he came to a halt in mid air to stare at the now bellowing mushroom shaped cloud that was diuretically over the area where his youngest son went to school. Then only two seconds later he felt his son's chi shoot through the roof.
Vegeta had also stopped in mid air to gaze in the direction of the mess. His eyes showed slightly troubled features but no other emotions. He too had sensed Kackarotto's second brats energy fly. "Che, looks to me like your brat is having a mental problem, Kackarotto. This is what, the 6th time that something like this has happened?"
"The 4th Vegeta! C'mon let see if there are any survivors." Goku hollered over his shoulder as he was already heading towards the base of the mushroom cloud. Vegeta grunted in annoyance and followed.
Almost half of the school was demolished, there was a large group of people gathering around the wreckage and already Fire fighters and police men were there searching through the ruble in search of survivors as well as research teams looking for the cause of this. There was a large crater to the left, completely covering the area that used to be the left side of the school as well as the playground. Goku landed near the middle of the crater and looked around. He spotted a lot of corpses lying in the crater. There were 15 dead bodies in this area. They looked to be 5 or 6 year olds. Goku grimaced once he saw them and spotted a heap of slightly burnt kids getting up off to the side and looking around shocked at what had happened. Vegeta just landed and was merely standing there gazing around at the wreckage. Goku approached the burnt kids and asked them how this had happened.
"That freak did this! A gaki that looks like you, sir." Was their answer?
Goku stared at them before looking around at the wreckage again. 'Goten did this? This is the biggest thing that he has done yet! I wonder what is making him loose control like this?'
"Lets go, Kackarotto. There is nothing that we can do here." Vegeta tried to tell his friend.
Goku shook his head saying that he'll stay and try to find out from the schools what's been going on but Vegeta insisted that they go to the training ground and get this off their minds. "Besides, training in far more important then a few dead bodies! Lets go!" he took to the air and waited impatiently for Goku to pick up the pace.
"Right, ok. I'll have to talk to Goten about this later if he shows up at home or not. Then I'll have to look for him. But I need to get this off my mind. Ok lets go fight!" with these words Goku took to the air startling the hell out of the school bullies and head off with Vegeta to a training ground nearby to start their training for the day.
~*~
"Ah... Like I always said, flying is something very relaxing ne Goten?" Trunks asked his best friend as they flew through the air. For the past 15 minutes Trunks has been trying to get Goten into an interesting conversation while trying the cheer him up. After blowing up half of the school, the poor boy felt sick to the stomach. Goten simply answered everything with a "Hia." Trunks sighed, what else could he do to get Goten's spirit up. Then for the first time he noticed a long brown fluffy tail that just appeared there.
"Hey Goten?"
Goten finally looked at him in question. There has been silence for almost 20 minutes now. "Nani?"
"When did you get a tail?" Trunks asked motioning to the newly grown tail.
For the first time, Goten noticed it as well. He reached back and grabbed it as soon as he stopped his flight and just hovered there, he pinched to see if it was real. He yelped as a short shock of pain shot up his spine. It was real all right. So he shrugged it off and answered Trunks' question. "I don't know how it happened. It just did."
Trunks sighed then got an idea that should be fun. "Hey, Goten. What do you say we go to a nearby desert and play?"
A Son smile finally formed on Goten's face as he nodded excitedly. "Yea, sure why not. Lets do it!"
Trunks smirked and nodded and looked around. They were hovering over the ocean with lots of deserted islands scattered everywhere. He glanced into the distance and saw a huge deserted island. Then almost immediately he sensed two large power levels battling against each other over there. He recognized them to be his father's chi and Goku-san chi. "Hey lets go over there. Our dads are fighting over in that direction. So lets fight nearby. Ok?"
Goten nodded and he and Trunks took off in that direction.
~*~
After landing in a clear sandy desert. There were a few cliffs scattered everywhere, a slight breeze passed and the sand flew with the breeze.. There was whistle through the wind. The two boys had just dressed themselves in the Martial Arts clothes that they carry with them everywhere. They tossed their stuff to the side and adopted a battle stance. The stared each other down waiting to see who will make the first move. Then they both launched at each other both blocking their first attacks. They stayed in the position where they were pressing one arm against the other. Then after growling and glaring at each other they separated and attacked again this time going up in the air where they started to trade punched and kicks. Each of them was matching each other's movements perfectly. Then after a powerful attack from each of them they separated once again. Staring each other down. Trunks then disappeared and reappeared in front of Goten to throw a punch at him, which wasn't blocked. Goten angrily shot back but had it blocked.
"Your getting slow, Goten." Trunks said thrusting his knee up at Goten.
Goten saw the attack and blocked it. "We'll see who is getting slow."
Trunks growled and jumped away from Goten saying, "Oh come on let's get serious, AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Trunks transformed into a Super Saiya-jin. "Right, AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Goten also transformed. They both disappeared. The only thing you could see was flashed of light ever now at then, you could also hear grunts and battle cries. Finally they reappeared with Goten on the ground and Trunks up in the air preparing to do a chi blast.
"KAME.... AHME...." Goten started out, as his battle oara got bigger. Chi forming in his hands as waited for Trunks to start. Trunks smirked. Trunks then through an energy disk at Goten. Goten was startled by this and quickly made an after image as the disk went strait into the ground. Then he heard Trunks shout a title of his attack and he saw a large energy blast headed in his direction so he concentrated then released his own blast. "HAAAAAA!"
The two blasts collided then there was a huge explosion. Trunks' blast was disabled but Goten's blast wasn't as it continued to its real target. "SHIT!" Trunks was barely able to avoid that as a portion of his shirt was burned away. He watched as the blast disappeared over the horizon. Then he realized that his guard was off... He felt a sharp pain on his back, stomach and then head as he rocketed towards the ground. He didn't move for several minutes, then his hair turned back to normal. For once in a lifetime Goten actually won a battle with Trunks. Goten heaved a big breath as he too powered down. Good luck was starting to turn his way after all.
~*~
Meanwhile nearby, Goku and Vegeta were also fighting. After doing another couple of attacks they separated and glared each other down. Before they could continue there was a huge flash of light off in the distance. The two Siaya-jins were startled as he gazed off into the distance. In an instant both felt two familiar ki's fighting each other.
:"Isn't that Goten and Trunks? Great maybe we can get an answer out of them about how that happened at school. Come on Vegeta lets go and watch their fight." He powered down and headed over to the other battlefield.
Vegeta nodded and also powered down and they both flew off in the direction where the two kids were fighting. When they got there they watch as Trunks through and energy disk at Goten who dodged it. Then Trunks thrust out a Burning Attack. And Goten finished with a Kamehameha. Trunks' blast was disabled while Goten's Kamehameha wave continued on and hit Trunks whom barely missed it. Then Goten appeared behind his best friend and kneed him and hammered him in the spine at the same time. Then Goten finished the job and hammered Trunks in the back of the head knocking him out instantly. Goten won. Trunks lost...
Vegeta growled... "Shit... Damn that brat... Kackarotto.
"Huh?" Goku asked and turned to look at Vegeta.
"Damn you Kackarotto. You've been training that Brat without my knowing!"
"Um... No. I haven't been training Goten for a while now. Goten is acting like he had a bad day. That is probably why he pushed himself to win." Goku said as he turned to go and Congratulate his son on his win. Vegeta growled and followed.
"Hey Goten, nice job!" Goku hollered as he landed next to his son who had just powered down.
"Otousan!" Goten grinned at flew into his father's arms happy to see him. Goku grinned proudly back and ruffled the boy's hair that looked so much like his own. Trunks groaned and got up; once he saw his father he too greeted him though not as enthusiastically as Goten greeted his father. "Hi dad." Vegeta gave his son a death glare. "Brat, you will training twice a day from now on until he beat Kackarotto's brat! And no allowance for a week!" Trunks gaped at his father, "But dad! That's not fair!" "Life is never fair, brat!" Vegeta snarled.
Goku shrugged them off before placing a serious expression on his face before turning to the kids. "Goten what caused you to blow up the school earlier?"
It was Goten's turn to gape at his father. "How did you know. uh I was having a bad day." He said quickly cutting himself off mid sentence. He looked at Trunks for support that came to his aid. "Yea, we had gotten into an argument and Goten just lost control is all, he didn't mean it. It was my fault because I started the fight."
Vegeta instantly could tell that it was a lie. But didn't say anything.
Goku could also tell too. But he didn't push the matter thinking that he'll re ask that question when he and his son were alone.
"Lets go Trunks." Vegeta grabbed his son by the ear and proceeded to drag the boy up into the air with him. Trunks's yelping about let go but was ignored and dragged all the way home.
Goten and his father waited until Vegeta and Trunks were out of site before turning to each other. "Well let's get home, okay Goten." Goku said as he started to take to the air. Goten nodded and followed. Along the way Goku asked his son, "So, do you want to talk about how your day went at school?"
Goten looked at father in question. "Huh?"
Goku explained that he could tell that Goten must have had a bad day at school. There was no other explanation as to why he pushed himself to hard during the fight with Trunks. Goten sighed and admitted that he did have a bad day at school. He went right down the list of bad things that happened that day from the start to his dad.
1. He was late for school. 2. He crashed into the principle and made a mess. 3. He fell asleep during math class. 4. He was talking in the hall. 5. He 'talked back' to the secretary. 6. He got Detention. 7. He got picked on by the school bully. And 8. He lost his temper and blew up half of the school.
Goten also mentioned that he had a weird dream while he was sleeping during math class. In fact he has been having similar dreams for the past week. Goten told his father that they may be visions of his future but he doesn't know that.
Goku knew that Chichi wasn't going to like the sound of that. He was going to have to take the blame for what happened for Goten's sake. But when Goten mentioned those dreams he has been having and claims that they are visions of his future, it made him curious as to what kind of dreams they were. So he asked his son to share information with him about his dreams. Goten nodded then after some thinking he spoke.
" Well I see myself outside with Kasaan doing chores, when some spaceship of some kind lands and a alien steps out of it. The alien looks somewhat like Piccolo only it is a woman. She has red hair, her antennas sticking out and she appears to be wearing clothing similar to what human girls wear. She says something in another language that I couldn't understand then she tell me that I'm the 'Gateway' and that I must go with her to her home planet to meat the 'elders'. I refused and Kasaan tried to protect me. The next thing he know is that I can't move a muscle and then everything goes black... That's when I woke up."
Goku looked worried. That did not sound like an ordinary dream to him. "Did you say you've been having the same dream for the past week?"
"Yes, I've been having similar dreams each time. What do you suppose they mean, dad?"
Goku looked like he was in deep thought. I don't know what those dreams mean. But if they really are visions then I'm going to find out what they mean if they really come true that is...
"Daddy?"
Goku gazed at his son then smiled a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about them, Goten. I'm pretty sure that they mean nothing. What do you say we pick up a big fish before we head home?"
"OK."
~*~
"WHAAAAT! YOU DID WHAT??"
As soon as Goku and Goten got home they ate dinner with Gohon and Videl and Chichi. Afterwards Chichi asked her son how was school that day. Goku and Goten had cringed. They were both kind of hoping that she wouldn't ask. But they also knew that she was going to find out anyway so Goten told everyone what happened. Everyone except Goku was shocked to say the least. Especially Chichi...
Gohon and Videl took a hint and quickly left the room. Leaving Goku and Goten to take Chichi's tantrums.
"I can't believe you Goten. I thought you were smarter then this. Blowing up your own school...Falling asleep during *Math* class! You are grounded young man! You are not to see Trunks for a whole month. You will do nothing but studying, sleeping or eating for the next week."
"But mom it wasn't..."
"Don't you but mom me Son Goten!"
Goku butted in, "Chichi, don't you think that is a little severe?"
"You stay out of this Goku. Half of this is probably your fought. Look what yours, Vegeta's and Trunks' bad influence did to our son." Chichi sobbed. "My baby has become a Pucker too...Waaaaahhhhhhh"
"Chichi, it's not like that..." Goku sighed in defeat knowing that trying to explain things were not going to help any so he gather his wife up in his arms and tried to help her stop crying. "Sssshhhh don't cry Chichi. Please." Goku gently rocked her from side to side. When Chichi stopped and looked into her husbands coil black eyes and smiled. "Oh Goku what could I ever do without you..." Goku pressing his lips againsed hers to cut her off. As he kissed her he started to pull down her sleeve but chichi caught herself realizing that they were still in the kitchen and Goten was in their presents."Oh no you don't. Now meet me in our room. Go on. Shoo." Goku let a disappointed groan as Chichi pushed him out of the room.
Goten thought.
"GOTEN!"
Goten jumped and quickly headed upstairs to his room.
And hour later Goten was not able to get any sleep because of all the 'noise' coming from his parents room but he paid it to no mind. He was finally able to get some sleep after about another ninedy minutes. His last thought was 'I wonder what my future will bring...'
That is a fair question for young Goten. What will his future Bring? The only thing that I can say is that his life is about to take a sad but good turn starting on the next chapter of SAGA 1 A New Life; Goten's Dreams.
