"Dragonball AS: Destroyer Saga"

Chapter 2- "Crashed Party"

By- Tiny

The gravity room at Capsule Corp. had been updated many times over the years, considering it had to be upgraded to handle the increased powers within it, but it had been virtually overhauled the last few years. Trunks had been working with it constantly since his father disappeared, wanting to have every advantage he could in his training, and things seemed to have worked out quite well for him. Not only had he managed to build his own power up to previously unimaginable heights, but he had also been able to get Bra to Super Saiya-jin and push Marron past her father in strength!

Today would be it's real test, however, with five warriors of the highest caliber in Earth history standing within it's walls, but Trunks was confident in the rooms ability to withstand the pressure. After all, Bra had rebuilt it to withstand energy attacks from a Super Saiya-jin at the fourth level, so it shouldn't have any problem handling a few Saiya-jin who were weaker than that. Bra was probably sweating bullets about her precious room now, knowing for a fact that Trunks had blown it up when he last trained in there, but nobody was really concerned with that at the moment.

All of the fighters had changed into a much more comfortable type of clothing for their little sparring session, having changed into some Saiya-jin armor that Trunks kept handy for these little match-ups. Ubuu had been a little timid about putting the suit on at first, seeing as he had never worn anything like it before, but had agreed to do so after Trunks showed him how to get the bodysuit on. Now everyone was suited up and ready to go while they waited for the other guests to show up, everyone anxious to test each other's powers.

"Well, I guess we should all power up before we get this little match of ours started, huh guys?" Gohan chuckled, "Who wants to go first so we know who to pair off with?"

"I'll go first Dad," Pan volunteered, "I can't wait to show Trunks and Goten how strong I've gotten over the last few years!"

"Go ahead then Pan," Trunks chuckled, "Let's see just what you've got."

Pan smirked as she began to draw on her power, her aura flaring up all around her in a brilliant flash of white as her ki levels shot up to what they were in space almost instantaneously. Trunks was in awe at how quickly she had shot up to that level of power, since she used to have a bit of trouble with it, but there were no problems now as her muscles began to grow slightly. Both of the other male Saiya-jin in the rooms eyes nearly bugged out of their heads as they sensed her power suddenly spike well beyond what they had expected in a flash of golden radiance, her hair following shortly there after.

"Wow, I didn't know that Pan had transformed!" Goten gulped, "She's easily as strong as Dad was at that level before he left with the dragon!"

"Yep, she's a chip of the old block alright," Gohan chuckled, "I guess you're up now Ubuu, so let's see what the resurrection of Majin Buu is capable of."

Ubuu didn't bother to grace Gohan with a response as he let out a scream of raw power, causing the room to tremble slightly as his normally white aura shot up around him as a blood red color. Pan was thrown for a loop as she sensed the resurrected Majin's power shoot well beyond her own, easily even with that of a level two Super Saiya-jin, and the other's looked quite surprised to. The young man had shot to such a tremendous amount of power almost as though it was nothing, meaning that he was actually in full control of his energy. The fact that his black eyes had turned a little red slightly unnerved Gohan, but he didn't let as much show as the Majin's aura calmed back down, fading away as he waited for the next power up.

"Very impressive Ubuu, my father would be very proud," Gohan smiled, "Well Goten, I guess you should go now."

"Wait, I say I should power up along with Goten!" Trunks chimed in, "That way, we can see if we're still almost even in strength."

"I'm with Trunks, I've waited a long time for this," Goten shook his head anxiously, "What do you say Gohan?"

"I say go for, then we can get on to the real light show!" Gohan laughed, "Let's see what you two youngsters are made of!"

Trunks and Goten just smirked at the older warrior as they began to power up at a much slower pace, presumably to show off to one another, though it only took them a few moments to reach Super Saiya-jin. Pan hated having to see both of the older men surpass her so easily in strength, but realized that they were older by quite a few years so that should only be natural. What really got her, not to mention Ubuu, however, was the fact that their power still continued to go up exponentially, little bolts of lightning beginning to dance within their auras.

The muscles of the two warriors bulged out slightly as their hair clustered up a bit higher on their heads, even growing an inch or two, and the room began to shake about rather violently. Gohan was even stunned by how strong the two younger men had become, seeing as they had slacked off for so many years, but that wasn't what had the older warrior confused. From what everyone in the room could feel out, neither of the young men had any advantage over the other one, meaning that despite all their training and struggles, they were still dead even.

"Man, I thought I'd finally get the advantage!" Goten grumbled, "I'm beginning to think I'll never get ahead of Trunks..."

"If it helps, Trunks isn't ahead of you either, you're both dead even," Gohan pointed out, "You should both be very proud of yourselves, but now...it's my turn to show off a little bit!"

The other three Super Saiya-jin's watched in wonder, as did the one super powered Majin, as Gohan began to increase his power to new heights that even the other two couldn't have matched. His power went to Super Saiya-jin level two almost instantly, flaring up all around him in a fiery golden blaze as he roared with the kind of strength not heard since Goku's departure. It was almost as thought the legendary warrior was in the room once more as Gohan powered up to his fullest potential slowly, his hair beginning to grow down slightly.

Gohan's entire body bulked up incredibly as his suit stretched to compensate for his increased body size, thanks to the spike in muscle mass and strength, and his eyebrows faded away as the ridges protruded. The older warrior's forehead broadened as well, looking slightly more primitive and feral, but everyone else's eyes were still focused on the now knee length hair as Gohan's power capped off. It was absolutely unbelievable to think that in only four years, after slacking in his training for years, that Gohan had become so powerful but on the other hand, he always did have a knack for doing the impossible.

"I warned you that you'd be out of your league Trunks, and now you get to see just why," Gohan chuckled in his deeper voice, "Now, I say we have you and Goten up against each other, since your so close in power, and I'll spar with Ubuu and Pan in a two-on-one match. Sound good to everyone?"

"Yeah, so let's get this over with!" Goten cheered, "I can't wait to pound Trunks into the ground!"

"Then let's get this party started!" Gohan laughed, "Show me what you've got!"

The long-range scouter in one of the warrior's pods exploded suddenly as one of the powers on Earth shot up well beyond it's capacity, overloading the circuitry and causing a full system shut down. How such a thing was possible on the backwater planet was well beyond the fourth crew member's comprehension, seeing as the only one to ever overload the scouter was his commander or one of the dark warriors. It was a sign of hope that he had never thought they would find on Earth, and he couldn't wait to tell the other's.

"Commander, we may have something!" the man said frantically, "The long range scouter was just short-circuited by a powerful energy on the planet up ahead, stopping at nearly 75 million beforehand!"

"Interesting, to think such a power could exist on that planet is beyond even our wildest expectations," the leader chuckled, "How long do we have until we land at the highest energy source?"

"Approximately one and a half standard hours, sir," the man responded, "Do you want me to activate the boosters so we get there faster?"

"No, I can wait," the leader answered into the communicator, "Just keep me informed if you pick up anything on the radar or something, alright?"

The other man gave a quick affirmative before going back to trying to fix his fried scouter and monitoring the radar, leaving his commander to his own thoughts while he did so. The leader was a much older man than his partners, thus he had been made the leader after their previous commander was killed, so he knew for a fact that whatever that power on Earth was had to be around his own age. A furry appendage that had been securely wrapped around his waist flicked anxiously in the air of his pod as his anticipation built up to the boiling point.

"Soon, we will have allies against this darkness," the older man smiled, "And then, maybe we can live in peace..."

The sparring in the gravity room had been intense, though not enough so that the people involved would come out too terribly roughed up, but everyone was thoroughly satisfied as they walked out of the room. Over an hour of straight sparring was just what they had all needed to reform the camaraderie that they had all shared for years, and it had been wonderful! Even Pan, despite being the weakest participant in the whole thing, had had a great time sparring against her much stronger allies, as it provided a challenge of the highest degree to satisfy her Saiya-jin blood.

The five warriors had changed back into their regular clothes quickly before heading back into the living area, big grins on all of their faces, but those were to fade away as a very pale Bra rushed into the room. The other women weren't far behind either, all with equally panicked looks on their faces as they moved into the room, causing everyone's faces to darken. Something was wrong, very wrong, and the adrenaline that had flowed through their veins during the spars shot out with overwhelming force once more as they prepared for the worst.

"Bra, tell me what's wrong," Trunks said flatly, "Has something happened?"

"You might say that, big brother," Bra nodded, her chest heaving, "You see, four pods, a lot like Dad's old ship, landed in the front yard of the building."

"WHAT!" Goten gasped, "Who the hell's in them?"

"I don't know, but they got out soon after landing," Bra explained, "And they have one request for all of you."

"And that is?"

"They want to talk with Gohan and Goten," Bra sighed, "Or, as the apparent leader put it, to the children of his uncle, third class warrior Kakarot..."

Author's Notes: Yeah, the leader of the troop is a Saiya-jin and is Goku's nephew, so you can take a wild guess as to who his father is, and you'll get to find out who the other three crew members are in the next chapter. You'll also get to hear a bit of background on who the dark warriors are and why they are pursuing these four warriors, so stay tuned for that! Oh yeah, and you'll be introduced to the new human fighters in the group as things progress, but until then, let's recognize my readers!

The Wanderer: Thanks for reading and for your praise of this story! Hope to see more of your reviews in the future!

Gomer: Yeah, second place is nothing to sneeze about, but it's still nice to see you around here again anyway! And yes, please read and review my other stories, because hardly anyone else does. Thanks again pal!

Draco the Destroyer: Yeah, the last episode of DB:GT is a bit of a let down, but the series itself wasn't all that great, since it was only done for money and they seemed to rush through it. Good to see you back again this time and hope to keep seeing your reviews in the future!

The Great Singing Man: Thanks for your review and as for your question pertaining to Vegeta, that will be answered later on in the story as to whether he is really dead or not and why King Kai can't find him. Until such time, however, everyone thinks he is either dead or just that he has disappeared, so that's the way it'll be for now. Hope to see you around again soon!
