Chapter One - Lessons

Location - Deep Space, Lab Omega:
The female voice spoke as it's owner watched the screen. "It's finally coming to and end Mainframe. About time too."

"Yeah. Were you able to keep a watch on that ship?"

"The one going to Earth? Yeah. It landed a few days ago. No big deal."

"That one power was high though. First things first when we get to Earth we destroy that ship and anyone on it."

"Fine by me. That one guy may be fun to fight. Never know…."

Location - Earth:
Gohan stood in his Great Saiyaman outfit, the helmet resting at his feet. Above him he watched Goten and Videl flying around in the sky. Videl was doing barrel rolls and loops though slowly, while Goten was going his fastest and literally doing loops around Videl.

"Goten!" she cried as he nearly flew into her. "Watch where you're going!"

"Sorry!" he called back laughing as he did a nose dive.

"Okay, that's enough of that you two! The tournament's in one week! If we're going to do any training for it we better start now!"

"Yea!" Goten shouted delighted. "Gohan, you promised to teach me the Kamehameha!"

"Goten!" he yelled. He'd promised he'd teach the kid the Kamehameha wave, and he would. But he didn't want Videl to….

"The what?"

To late. Goten landed beside Gohan as they watched Videl land. "The Kamehameha wave." Goten said.

"What's that?"

Goten turned and pointed his hand at a nearby rock. A small stream of gold energy surged out, hit the rock and exploded it. "It's like that." he said. "Only it's blue and it's done a certain way."

Videl stared at the blasted rock. "Oh……."

/Now he's done it./ Gohan thought putting his hand over his face. /Why does he always do that? I'm trying to not show Videl everything so she doesn't flip out. Next thing you know he'll go Super Sai-jin!/

It took a few more hours to explain the Kamehameha to Videl before he was able to even begin teaching it. Videl, of course, wanted to know how to do it too. So before he could teach to Kamehameha itself he had to teach her to do basic energy waves. That took almost an hour in itself. The entire time Goten was sitting off to the side looking bored.

"Okay I think you've got it now. Let's give the Kamehameha a try. Goten!"

"Yippee!" Goten cried jumping down off the rock to join them.

"Watch me first. Then I'll explain things and you'll try." Gohan turned and looked off at a distant boulder. /Have to keep this low powered. Don't want to do to much damage./ He cupped his hands at his side and stood staring at the boulder for a moment. Goten hand his hands clenched into fists at his side. His face looked like it was about to explode he was so excited. Then, "Kame…. Hame…. Haaaaaaaaa!" He thrust his hands forward and a wave of blue energy surged out. A second later it hit the rock and exploded light making them look away. When it died down the rock was gone. "Alright. Goten, you're next."

Meanwhile at Capsule Corp.

Trunks and Vegeta stepped in to the gravity chamber to begin the nights training lesson. Vegeta walked over to the control panel and typed in the gravity level. "Gravity set to 500 times normal." the computer voice chimed.

Vegeta smiled slightly and turned toward Trunks. "All right now. Let's see how you handle this."

Trunks nodded, barely able to stand, and began to power up. In a bright flash he transformed into a Super Sai-jin. "I'm ready when ever you are."

Vegeta's smile vanished. "We'll see about that." Suddenly he and Trunks vanished. Flashes of light and explosions were the only signs they were even there.

As Trunks threw a punch at his fathers he'd Vegeta dodged to the side and brought up his knee. Trunks launched up higher and dove around behind him. Quickly he kicked out hitting Vegeta squarely in the back knocking him forward slightly. Vegeta whirled around and slammed an elbow into Trunks's face. "Never let your guard down." he cried throwing a punch that landed squarely on Trunks jaw and knocking him into the ground. His golden aura suddenly vanished and his hair fell back down.

"That's all you've got?" Vegeta asked as Trunks stood back up and rubbed some blood off of his mouth.

"No." he panted. He began to power up again and a second later his gold aura exploded out again. He spread out his arms locking his green eyes onto his father. Small gold energy balls formed around his palms. Then suddenly he pushed them forward, the energy balls pointed at him. "Final Flash!" he cried. The gold energy flew forward catching Vegeta off guard slightly. He hadn't expected it to work. Quickly he tried to move out of the way but it was no good, the Final Flash hit him dead on and knocked him back into the gravity control system.

As he stood smoke rose from it and the number dropped down to 1. "Gravity machine damaged. Level set back to 1."

Vegeta looked down at his burned clothes and the small cuts on his chest. "Not bad kid." he said smiling again. "You're almost a good fighter."
