[A/N: When both Trunks are together then the pint sized version will be called young Trunks to clear things up so you know who is who, otherwise they're both just listed as Trunks and the context will tell you which is which.]

Chapter Five - Goten Vs. Da'kar! part one

"Wow!" The announcer cried. "We've had a really exciting first few rounds! We're getting closer to the final match now, only four more to go! We have three shining young competitors this year who have been just amazing! They've completely dominated the ring today but only one can claim the title!

"So let's hear for them! Seven year old Trunks, six year old Goten, and eight year old Da'kar! Our next match is between Trunks and Jim!"

The two entered the ring and, once again, a few seconds later Trunks walked back out as the winner. "Wow!" the announcer was back. "Trunks is moving on to the final match! Our next match is between two of our best fighters in the Junior Division. Goten and Da'kar!"

"Go Goten!" Trunks called as Goten and Da'kar walked toward the ring.

Up in the stands on the top walk-way stood Goku and the others. Videl stood next to Gohan, "Wow, they're all really good."

"Yeah." Gohan watched Da'kar step into the ring. He looked like his brother. His hair was the same bright red as Hiroshi's but it was laying down flat on his head. He also wore the same out-fit as Hiroshi. "I wonder of Hiroshi's as good as his little brother."

"Yeah." Videl said as the two fighters took their stances.

The announcer went over the rules and started the match, then quickly backed off the ring. "I've been watching you fight Goten." Da'kar said. "You're really good."

Goten smiled and nodded. "So are you."

"I expect you to give it everything you have."

"You bet."

Da'kar nodded and then vanished.

"What! Where is he!" Goten cried. Suddenly he reappeared right in front of him and lashed out with a punch. Goten just managed to duck under the fist. As he did Da'kar spun and smashed the back of his right foot into Goten's side. Goten flew across the length of the ring and only just managed to stop from hitting the ground. He floated back up into the ring. "You are good."

Da'kar smiled and charged at Goten. Fists and feet flew as they threw punch after punch at each other. Every so often on of them would jerk back slightly as a blow landed. Then they started to lift into the air. The crowd watched in awe as the two young fighters rose higher and higher into the air. A white aura formed around Goten while a red one formed around Da'kar.

"I don't believe it." Krillin said watching the two. "He's neck and neck with Goten. You said you know him Gohan?"

"His older brother's in my classes at school. He's also in the tournament."

Goku smiled. "Man, if we don't watch it those kids are going to get stronger than us. Look at them go!"

Suddenly the two of them split apart and Goten fired a small gold energy stream at Da'kar. The red head dodged around it and it flew harmlessly off into the sky. Da'kar smiled. "My turn." he said. His eyes flashed as he thrust his left palm forward. A stream of red energy flew out toward Goten. The young Sai-jin ducked under it at and dove toward the ring as it flew off into space.

Da'kar was right behind him. Goten hit the ground, bounced right, stopped and flew feet first at where Da'kar was. Goten caught him off guard and knocked him into the ground. He began to cup his hands, /I'll try the Kamehameha./ and pulled them back to his side. "Kaaaa meeee Haaaa meee HAAAA!" he thrust his palms forward toward Da'kar and the blue energy plowed toward the young man.

Da'kar was on his feet again. Quickly he placed his left hand under and around his right wrist bracing the arm. He pointed the his right fist at the coming energy attack. "Fire Punch!" he called out. Red energy flew from Da'kar's fist and collided with the blue of the Kamehameha. The two energies began to push each other back and forth near the center of the ring a small indentation beginning to form in the ground. With a cry more energy shot down the length of Da'kar's energy wave and slammed into the Kamehameha and began to push it back.

Goten watched in surprise as the other attack neared. /Looks like I have to go super, even if Gohan said not to./ and with a flash of blinding gold light Goten transformed. More energy surged down the length of the Kamehameha and plowed through Da'kar's attack hitting him head on. He flew backward out of the ring and toward the stands. Inches away he stopped himself and floated in mid-air watching Super Sai-jin Goten. With a smile he floated back into the ring.

"Wow!" Goku cried. "He's a Super Sai-jin!"

"Super what?" Videl asked eyes bugging out of her head.

Back down in the ring Da'kar was brushing off loose pieces of cloth that had once been attached to his outfit. "Guess play-times over huh?" he said touching down. "Okay, that's fine. It'll be more fun this way." Da'kar reached down and removed his gloves. Then bent down and took off his boots, untied his belt and took off his shirt and two wrist bands. He tied up all the clothes with his belt and tossed it out of the ring. It crashed to the ground with a resounding thud leaving a 'small' indentation.

"Weighted training clothes." Gohan said.

Trunks eyes were locked on Da'kar. There was something familiar about the way the young fighter handled himself.

"So Goten, ready for round two?"

"Yeah. This is going to be so much fun!"

Da'kar smiled. "Let's do this." and the two vanished from the sight of the spectators. Goku and the others watched them continue the fight in the air while everyone else was looking around to see where they went, Videl included.

She turned to ask Gohan where they were and saw his eyes darting around the sky. She looked up but didn't see anything. Looking back down at Gohan she was about ask when Goku spoke up. "Wow, look at those two go! It's amazing."

"Sure is." said Gohan. "I knew Goten was strong but I never thought he was this strong."

Krillin nodded as he watched them go. "Either of these two could have given Frieza a run for his money. It's amazing, but who did that Da'kar kid get so strong?"

Trunks still had that pulling feeling in the back of his mind like he knew something about Da'kar but couldn't quite place it.
