Sparks flew as Goten powered up to defend himself. Vegeta slowly floated to the ground and put Tai on his feet.

"Go back inside…" Vegeta said in a cold voice

Goten slowly stepped back, the sparks starting to wildly flash around his body until they merged into one gold aura.

Vegeta let out a sigh of disappointment "Is that all you have, boy? No matter, I'll finish you off with a mere Super Saiyan 1 attack!"

Goten's fear slowly rose as Vegeta's power level slowly, but surely, increased. The prince slowly looked at Goten, making him stumble back as the pure energy from his Super Saiyan state grew and spread wildly.

Goten slowly got into a crouch, to avoid being moved further "Vegeta! Listen to me, dammit! Tai was attacking me; I had to stall for time till he was worn out enough to listen to me!"

Vegeta grinned with a glint of evil in his eye "Why would he attack you?"

"I have no damned idea!" shouted Goten, getting angry at the stuck up attitude Vegeta had always owned.

Tai pointed at Goten and stomped on the ground "You put brother Trunks into hospital, that's what!"

Goten's eyes snapped to Tai "Wh-What! I didn't do that!"

Vegeta slowly charged up a small ball of golden energy, aiming it at Goten "Well, if it wasn't you, who was it?"

Goten "I… I don't know! But the man had great strength! He was about to kill me and Trunks took the blow!"
Tai frowned "That's a load of rubbish! No one's stronger than Trunks, except dad!"

Vegeta floated closer to Goten, to the point that the ball was pressed against his chest "Well then, shall I finish what that person, who you claim to have done this, started?"

Goten stepped back "V-Vegeta!"

"Stop it Vegeta! Listen to the boy! He's obviously not going to lie about something like this, is he?"

Goten slowly looked over to the voice he heard defending him, noticing Bulma and Bra.

Vegeta slowly frowned making the ball and his Super Saiyan state disappear instantly.

Bulma slowly walked past Vegeta "Now, shall we go inside to see how our son is doing?"

Vegeta sighed "Alright, alright, Bulma..!"

Vegeta followed Bulma, closely followed by Tai. Bra slowly followed by a distance, walking past Goten.

"Don't take him seriously, Goten…" She said in a quiet voice "He's so arrogant and self proclaimed, that he doesn't listen to reason half the time. Just stand your ground and show your true Saiyan spirit when he does it.. It always works for me!"

Goten slowly sighed, returning to normal "Yeah, Bra… But it only works because you're his daughter!"

Bra shrugged and ran off after her family.

Slowly looking at the sky, Goten thought about the fight that injured Trunks so badly. His eyes slowly drifted to the ground and he sighed sorrowfully.

"Don't die, Trunks…" he said as he turned to go back home

A man wearing a trench coat stood round the corner from the hospital and, as Goten walked past, slowly let off a smirk.

"He won't die…" he said "I know it for a fact."

Goten's eyes slowly drifted to the man and he raised a questioning brow "How do you know?"

The man slowly stood upright and looked at Goten "He just won't."

Goten just walked past him, finding the man mildly insane, then his mind clicked "Hang on, aren't you that Unknown…"

He slowly looked at the brick wall of the hospital, his eyes quickly looking around for the man.

"What the..?" he questioned "Where did he go? Ah! Never mind him, I should let dad know about Trunks!"

He quickly turned round and blasted off into the clouds, heading for his home.

"The young one has a lot of capability; maybe we should kill him before that Trunks get's well."

The man slowly looked at another person in the shadows "Many people on this planet have capability like his."

'I wonder why Vegeta was so edgy earlier' thought Goten as he could see his house on the horizon.

As he landed, Goten looked over to the doorway, seeing his father.

"Hey, Goten!" called out the always-happy Goku "Where have you been all day?"

Goten slowly walked upto his father, stopping about four foot in front of him "Dad.." he said in a quite voice "Trunks got hurt today, really bad. There was an explosion in West City and we went to see what it was. Turned out to be some weird guy that was really powerful, he hurt Trunks so badly he's in hospital as we speak."

Goku slowly blinked then smirked "Hey, don't worry! We can get a Senzu Bean from Korin!"

Goten slowly shook his head "No, we can't. He ran out, I went to see him earlier."

Goku slowly rubbed the back of his head "Ah, well that would be a problem. But don't worry so much, Goten. Trunk's is a strong lad, he'll pull through."

Goten slowly nodded and walked past Goku "I'm going to bed, dad.. I need the rest after the fight…"

Goku turned round and followed him up the stairs with his eyes "Alright, son.. You're mum's got dinner on, so I'll call you when it's ready!"

As Goten opened the door to his room he remembered what the man had told him outside the hospital. Trunks would survive, he had said. But how would he know? Was he psychic or something, or did he just.. Know these things?

Goten gave up questioning and slumped on his bed, looking at the ceiling of his room, but every time he started to drift to sleep, thoughts of Trunks and the two strange men came back to haunt him.

"Ah!" Goten shouted as he smacked his own head "Why can't I just relax and stop thinking about what happened! I can't make any sense of it all!"

"Goten, dear?" called Chi-Chi from the bottom of the stairs "Dinner's ready, come down!"

Goten slowly sat up and shook his head "Okay, mum! I'll be right down!" he said in reply as he stood up.

Goten slowly opened his door, walked down stairs and entered the kitchen.

"What's wrong Goten?" questions his worried mother "You look pale."

Goten slowly looked at Chi-Chi and shook his head "It's nothing mum, I'm alright!"

He slowly sat down at the table with his parents and started to slowly eat his way through the meal.

Goku and Chi-Chi looked at each other, and then Goku made the first comment.

"Son…" he started "You sure you're alright? You don't seem to be eating properly."

Chi-Chi nodded and continued "He's right, Goten. Is there anything we can do to help?"

Goten quickly shook his head and stood up "I'm finished.." he slowly put his chair under the table and walked out the kitchen and to his room again.

Goku slowly sighed "He must be worried about Trunks, him and Trunks were in a fight against someone and Trunks got seriously wounded."
Chi-Chi's eyes slowly flamed and she glared at Goku "MY BABY WAS IN A FIGHT AND YOU SAID NOTHING TO ME!"

Goten slowly laid on his bed, listening to flying pots and pans, hearing the random "Ah! Chi-Chi! Calm down!"

He slowly rolled over and closed his eyes, trying to get to sleep.

"Hmm, so this is where the young boy lives, is it?" said the man Goten had fought earlier that day.

"Yes, it would seem so. But we should come back during the night; in the camouflage of darkness." replied the coated man.

"Yes.. The night will be a perfect time…" were the finals words said before the pair seemed to 'fade' into the shadows.
