Chapter 4: Old faces
Trunks and Goten were playing in the forest near chi chi's house when suddenly 6 people landed before them.
"Who are you?" Asked trunks...
"I'm Nappa and this is Radditz...and those four losers are..."
"Were the...".
"Oh no" muttered Radditz "there not..."
"Ginyu force!"
"Burter" yelled one taking on a strange pose
"Jaice" yelled the small white haired one who also took on a pose
"Raccome" yelled the big red haired one who took on a pose
"Guido!" Yelled the short fat one taking on a pose...
Suddenly racoome fell over.
"Idiot you messed it up..." yelled Guido...
"I know! It's just...it felt too off without the captain..." grumbled racoome
"Yeah its not the same with out the captain..."
Goten and trunks looked at each other and burst out laughing
"Hey those little punks are laughing at us!!!" yelled jaice
"Hey kid why aren't you scared of us!"
Trunks laughed "scared of you? Give me a break!" Suddenly trunks had an idea "You guys are weaklings!!" he said in his best Vegeta impression "you're not worthy of licking our boots"
"What did he say?" Gasped burta "lets crush the little twerp!"
Radditz looked at Goten suspiciously he turned to his fellow saiyan "Hey Nappa does that look like?"
"Yeah that kid looks like kakorott... "Replied Nappa
"I think it would be wise to sit this fight out..."
"Lets make it interesting... if we beat you, you work for us!" Said trunks...
"Sounds fine to me if we beat you you'll be our personal serving boys you'll spit shine our boots for us!" said racoome
"Okay lets do this!!!" said burter "Guido you first."
"Not again!!!" groaned Guido
"No buts about it teach these twerps some manners!" roared jaice
"But!!! But!!! I hate going first! Last time I was the first to die!!!"
"Guido their friggin kids!" said racoome
"That's what you said on namek!"
"If you don't...WE'LL be the ones to beat you!" yelled the trio
"Very well then...but I still think it's unfair..." Guido took up a fighting pose...
Trunks turned to Goten "after you...he said smirking"
"Okay!!" laughed Goten rushing forward
Guido smiled a quick charge will spook the kid... "Ahhhhh!" He roared racing forward.
Goten smiled and shot forward and floored Guido with one punch...
Jaice looked at burta "uh-oh..." he groaned, "I think we're in trouble..."

The supreme kai stepped away from Gohan.
There he won't remember anything that hercule said...minimizing the damage to the space-time continuum, its better that way...he's waking up!
Gohan awoke to find himself staring at Goku part of him wanted to run and hug his father...but suddenly he felt rage building.... "So you couldn't keep in touch?" He snapped
Goku looked at Gohan surprised "Gohan?"
"Seven years dad...its been nearly seven years and you didn't think to contact us once!" said Gohan his repressed rage rising...
Vegeta smirked "well, well, well, kakorott's brat has teeth..."
"Gohan I just thought..." began Goku
"Thought? THOUGHT!!!! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!!!!! YOU DIDN'T THINK! HOW DO YOU THINK MOM TRULY FELT? AND WHAT OF GOTEN GROWING UP WITHOUT A FATHER!"
"Goten? Who's Goten?" asked Goku
"You don't know? He doesn't know...good kami he doesn't know he has another son.." Said piccolo in shock
Gohan suddenly went super saiyan-jin two "you selfish bastard!!!!"
"Whoa Gohan I'm sorry I didn't know! I really didn't know! I guess I screwed up big time! But I'm back now I can begin to make it up to you guys..." said Goku contritely
Gohan sighed in frustration powering down "well you better!" he grumbled "you can start by visiting mom..."

Nappa looked at the battered and bruised Ginyu force in five minutes he watched 2 under ten year olds do what a grown warrior of his calibre could not he saw them beat the stuffing out of the Ginyu force... he looked at Radditz wide eyed
"Do you give up?" Said trunks...
"We give! We give!" cried racoome
"That's good you now work for us!" said Goten jumping up and down...
Radditz was totally dumbstruck... "Nappa did you see that such power in these little children!" he said to Nappa
"Did you say Nappa?" said trunks...
Nappa looked at trunks "what's it to you?"
"Aren't you supposed to be bald? My dad called you a bald loser..." continued trunks
"Well yeah I lost my hair but I got it back... hey what did your dad call me?" snapped Nappa angrily
"I called you a bald loser, baka!!!" came Vegeta's voice
Radditz and Nappa spun round to see Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and piccolo
"Yikes! Um hi Vegeta! Kakorott!" Said Radditz
"You baka's have 30 seconds to explain yourselves before I blast you!" Barked Vegeta his palm raised
"Welltherewasthislightandwewokeuphereweweretravellingandranintothesetwo aretheyyourchildrenWedidn'tattackthemthentheginyuforcearrivedandchallengedthemandtheytheybeatuptheginyuforcewhonowhastoservethem... please don't kill us again Vegeta!" Yelled Nappa
"pitiful..." snorted Vegeta "very well I'll spear your lives this time!" he turned to trunks "so you beat up the Ginyu force and now they're your slaves... good boy!"
"Thank you father!" said trunks with pride
Goku however was not paying attention to this he was too busy looking at a dumbstruck Goten. "Hi there little fellow I'm Goku! You must be Goten!"
Goten nodded "are...are you really my daddy?"
"Yep!" Replied Goku
"But aren't you supposed to be dead?"
"I was but I'm back now..." replied Goku
"Really?"
Goku nodded. Goten cried out and rushed into his father's arms...

the supreme kai stood looking at Buu "amazing I sense no evil intent from Buu...you say you're from the future and yet....by being here you changed the future...so you shouldn't exist!"
"that's not exactly true..." said a female voice "they're from an alternate future." said a feminine voice
the supreme kai spun round and gaped before him was the west kaioshin. But she had been dead for thousands of years
"how? Wha? this doesn't make sense?!!! Wait your from an alternate time line as well..." replied the supreme kai
"yes in my timeline it is you who was killed by true Buu not me. But that doesn't mater... what does matter is something terrible has happened my reality and several other realities have ceased to exist...somehow...I don't know how exactly I was thrown here"
the west kaioshins words sunk in to F.Hercule's mind "what no! what about pan and the others!"
"They are gone as well most likely." Replied the west kaioshin
"Cant we use those dragonballs to bring them back?" pleaded hercule
"You can only use the dragonballs in the continuum where your loved ones exist and since the continuum they existed in is also gone we can not revive them...."
F. Hercule fell to the floor in agony "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
