Review responses

Element6: Thanks for the review. I'm not skipping forward as fast as the series. But I've considered leaving Uub out completely. I haven't made a final decision on that but I will tell you that Goku won't abandon his family for ten years just to train him.

Kanny: Thanks for the review. I appreciate your praise.

Son Oliver: Thanks for the review. Like I said above I don't plan on having Goku abandon his family. And I'll try to make Pan more mature when I get that far but it may still be quite awhile down the road.

Chapter 15

Goten awoke sleepily and wandered down the stairs from his bedroom to the kitchen. It has been five years since the defeat of Kid Buu and peace has reined ever since. Goten quietly takes his seat at the breakfast table beside his father and in seconds the two Saiyans were consuming enough food to feed three armies. "So Goten, did you get all your studies done?"

"Yeah sure mom." Goten says between bites. "I did it last night." Both Goten and Goku continue eating. About five minutes later Goten speaks up again. "I'm finished. Can I go train with Trunks now?"

"Sure you can honey. Just be back in time for lunch." Goten doesn't even hear the last part as he is out the door before she can even finish. "Saiyans." Chichi rolls her eyes. "All they care about is training."

Across the table Goku squirms in his seat.

Chichi notices and looks at her husband. "Yes you can go train with Vegita. Now get going. And be back in time for lunch."

"Thanks honey." Goku races out the door in a blur.

Outside a few miles away Goten and Trunks are exchanging blows at super-fast speed. Both are already in Super Saiyan form and are emitting more power than Cell. Over the last five years the two Saiyans have kept up their training and grown exponentially in strength. Goten throws a punch at Trunks but his fist only passes through afterimage. Trunks appears behind Goten with a kick to the back of the head sending the young Saiyan pummeling to the ground creating a giant crater. With a flash of golden light Goten ascends to the second level and flies out of his hole at Trunks. In seconds Trunks is also at the second level and the two demi-Saiyans are fighting faster then ever.

Several miles away Goku and Vegita were having their own little squabble. The two Saiyan warriors fought at level three. Vegita flew at Goku full speed and threw a punch at the taller Saiyan. Goku ducked out of the way and fazed behind the Saiyan Prince grabbing Vegita's long blonde hair and swinging him around in a circle before throwing him toward the ground. However, Vegita never hits. The Saiyan Prince stops his decent and fazes behind Goku with a quick kick to the lower back. Goku goes flying but quickly recovers. Goku charges back at Vegita and in seconds the two Saiyans are fighting at supersonic speeds.

Across the planet Gohan and Videl sit down at the breakfast table after some early morning fun in the bedroom. Videl starts into her plate and Gohan quickly consumes his entire pile of food. When they are finished Videl asks. "Are you going to be using the gravity room today?"

"No, I'm going to go and find Goten and Trunks and spar with them. The gravity room is all yours."

"Okay I'll see you when you get back." Videl goes over to Gohan and kisses him on the lips sliding her tongue into his mouth. "Be back a little early and maybe we can have a little more fun."

"I will be."

"You better."

Gohan raises his fingers to his forehead and disappears. An instant later he appears in the middle of Goten and Trunk's spar. The two boys stop all of a sudden as soon as they see Gohan. "Hey Gohan," Goten says acknowledging his older brother.

"Hey Goten. Hey Trunks. Care for another sparing partner today?"

"Sure," Trunks answers.

"Ok you two against me," Gohan says as his hair flashes gold and stands strait up. The two younger Saiyans charge the older level two Super Saiyan. Goten comes in from the left while Trunks comes in from the right both with a punch aimed at Gohan. However they only hit after-image as Gohan fazes out and appears behind Trunks bringing his fists down on the young Saiyan's head. Trunks pummels to the ground and Gohan charges Goten. Gohan fazes behind Goten with a kick but the young Saiyan is already gone. Goten appears behind Gohan with a kick of his own but Gohan fazes out at the last second. He reappears behind his brother and delivers a flurry of punches to his back. About this time Trunks recovers and fazes in behind Gohan a kicks him right in the back of the knees. Goten uses this moment of distraction to deliver a punch right to his brother's face. Gohan wipes a small trickle of blood from his face and charges his brother once again. In seconds the three warriors are fighting faster than the eye can follow. It is clear that even out numbered Gohan still has a slight advantage even without going to Super Saiyan 3.

A few minutes later Goten barely dodges one of Gohan's fists. I can't keep this up very long. He's too strong. Goten throws a look at Trunks and Trunks nods. Goten and Trunks both charge Gohan and faze out at the last second. They appear a short distance away a few feet away from each other. "Fu… sion… HA! As the fingers of the two warriors touch Gotenks appears in their place. "Now you have no chance. I'm way more powerful than you."

"I wouldn't be so cocky if I were you," Gohan says. "Remember what happened last time.

Gotenks frowns remembering the beating that Gohan gave him in the last they had spared. "That won't happen this time. I've gotten stronger." Gotenks charges Gohan his long golden hair flying behind him.

"So have I." With a flash of golden light Gohan's hair gets longer and his eyebrows disappear. He fazes out of the way just in time to avoid Gotenks' fist. He appears behind the fused warrior and swings a fist to the lower back. He hits nothing but afterimage. Gotenks appears to the side of Gohan with a kick but the Saiyan easily blocks it. The two warriors are soon throwing punches at super speeds neither one with the advantage. The spar continues for thirty minutes until finally Gotenks pops apart into two beings once again. The two warriors fall to the ground. Gohan flies down to the ground his hair turning back to its normal black. "I'm going to go train with Videl now. I'll see you next week for another spar."

"Yeah sure you're going to train," Goten says with a chuckle.

"Yeah you don't get much training in when your tongue is in her mouth all the time."

Gohan blushes and sweat drops. "I'll have you know that what we do keeps us in very good shape. It's great exercise. And we do some actual training too." Gohan flies into the air toward his house.

"Hey Goten."

"What is it Trunks."

"This training and sparing is getting a little boring."

"Yeah we do need something new. What'd you have in mind?"

"I thought it might be fun to go on a little adventure. My mom already has a ship that we can take. It even has a gravity room."

"Cool do you think my mom will let me go?"

"Let's go ask."

The two boys raise their fingers to their foreheads and teleport to Chichi's kitchen. "Hey mom. Can I go with Trunks into space to explore? I promise I won't stay gone too long and I'll keep up my studies."

"I don't know. It may be dangerous."

"Come on mom. We can handle about anything. We're both Super Saiyans."

Trunks elbows Goten. "Super Saiyan 2's"

"Oh Super Saiyan 2's. And if all else fails we can fuse."

"Oh all right as long as Bulma says it's all right."

"Thanks mom." Goten turns to Trunks. "Did you already ask your mom?"

"Yeah she wasn't going to let me but dad said it'd be good for me so she gave in. She said she could have the ship ready in five days."

"Ok I can't wait."

Alright another chapter out. I hope you like my little twist. Goten and Trunks going into space by themselves. What awaits them? Well anyway please review. It makes me update faster.
