Chapter 3: Robed Fighter Revealed
"Why do I get stuck with all the cleaning duties? I thought my cleaning days were done when I kidnapped those village girls to clean my house."
"Oolong stop complaining, half of this mess here is yours anyway"
The blue furry cat known as Puar was also feeling the effects of cleaning; however, she would die before she admitted it to Oolong.
Over the horizon, a blaze that looked like a commit was heading straight for the smaller Island. Puar and Oolong both had stop to look at what was coming their way.
When what looked like a commit got in viewing distance a smile of joy came over the face of the two talking animals.
"TRUNKS!!!! It's good to see you man. Wow look at you, all grown up."
"Hey Oolong, its good to see you. You to Puar. I must ask you guys, is master Roshi around?"
The blue flying cat pointed in the direction where Roshi was at.
"He's in the house with Launch. Be careful Trunks she's cooking with seasoning salts."
"Thanks for the heads up."
Trunks started his journey towards the house. Trunks entered the house as if it was his second home; he walked through it at very slow but cool pace.
"Master Roshi! Master Roshi, where are you?"
Launch came storming out of the kitchen with a machine- gun in hand. "Who's making all the racket?"
Trunks gulped when he saw Launch with an Uzi. Everybody tried to stay on her good side when she transformed.
"Um hi Launch, I'm sorry about all of the noise but I was just looking for Master Roshi; do you know where he is?"
Trunk was on his p's & q's because he had no idea how Launch would respond.
"The Old man is up stairs."
"Thank you Launch"
As he tried to tip toe upstairs he was bought to an immediate halt by Launch.
"Hey kid, don't make no more noise or my pet Susie Uzi and me are going to play count the shells on the purple head dweeb."
Trunks looked at Launch and nodded his head in agreement then continued forward up the stairs.
Upon open the door he saw Roshi lying down with a magazine covering his face.
"What a dirty old man"
was all Trunks could think with a slight smile on his face. He walked up to him slowly with intents on tapping his shoulder to wake up the old man.
Shaking his shoulder lightly "Master Roshi Wake Up, Wake up Master Roshi"
"Leave me alone Oolong, can't you see I'm trying to get that hot young girls attention"
When Roshi opened his eyes he jumped up in shock, fore he wasn't expecting to see Trunks standing directly in front of him.
"Trunks you scared me there; how are you doing boy?"
"Well I'm doing good Master. How is everything with you?
"It's ok. Oh I'm glad you're here Trunks, Mr. Popo asked me to get in contact with you. He said for you to come to the lookout."
The expression on Trunks face was that of curiousness "Hmmm...Did he say what for?"
"Sorry Trunks, he didn't say"
"Well I guess I should get going to the lookout."
If Mr. Popo is looking for me then it must be important. I just hope that the Earth isn't in any immediate danger."
"Yeah me too." There was silence then the phone ranged
"I think I better I get that. Hello, Roshi speaking"
An all too familiar voice is on the other end "Roshi it's me, Bulma. Chi Chi and I are on our way to your island."
"Really" Master Roshi said the word with excitement and joy. He was glad that Bulma was coming. This usually meant that he didn't have to go food shopping for weeks.
"Oh Roshi, did Trunks stop by your island?"
"Yes he's standing right here in front of me."
"Can you tell my son that Mr. Popo is looking for him. He has requested that Trunks come to the lookout immediately."
"He already knows, I told him."
Launch screams from down stairs to let everybody know that lunch is ready
"WellIgottagolaunchjustfinishedlunchandifIdon'tgetdownstairsOolongisgoingtoe atallthe food BYE!"
Was all that Roshi said before he dashed past Trunks leaving the phone of off the hook, Trunks put the phone back on the receiver.
His curiosity was getting the best of him. Now the only thing that was run through his mind is why did Mr. Popo want him at the look out? After the thought flashed through his brain, he shot through the window heading north towards Kami's Peak.

Somewhere in the North Galaxy
"YES!!! We're almost there. Isn't that great kid"
Looking as if he could careless, Aioshi was just staring into the dark depths of endless space. A question was bothering the little boy all day. He wanted to know what that thing that attacked them was.
Aioshi quickly interject into the young woman's celebration with a question
"Thalia, what was that thing that destroyed our planet?"
She looked at the boy in shock at the question. After settling down she responded "I honestly don't know. The only thing I can assume is that he's a demon. I mean, to wreck havoc on a defenseless planet the way he did was shameless. Well anyway the good news is that we're approximately 3hrs away from planet Earth."
The child finally snapped and lashed out "Stop placing all of your faith in this warrior. For all you know it could be a myth"
She responded to the angered boy
"Then why did you come with me if you believe all hope is lost?"
Aioshi looked down at the ground while cracking a slight smile "I didn't board this ship to chase around what may be a myth. I boarded this ship to get revenge."
Looking at the child who seemingly went from a boy to a man in a matter of hours all she could think "was poor kid."
Maybe she did not understand what it was like for one to witness their family get killed. Her father died two years ago, so she was all that she had. Aioshi had no one; they all were slain in front of him.
"Aioshi I feel real sorry for your family, but even if you wanted to get revenge you don't look quite strong enough."
As Aioshi looked up, another cynical smile came across his face
"You obviously don't know what I'm capable of. If I must say so myself, my family and I were the strongest warriors on that planet. I trained day and night since I was two. Finally when my skills were called upon to defend my family and my home I was to weak."
With his clinched right fist slightly shaking, he looked to the sky "On my life; mother, father, Datrya, and Jeratas I will avenge all of you, that I promise."
Thalia didn't want to break the boy's spirit by restating the fact that he wasn't strong enough so she tried to make him feel at ease
"I hope you do Aioshi, I really hope you do."
The ships computer interrupted the two "Ship now Shifting to hyper drive, estimated arrival time for planet Earth approximately Thirty minutes."
"Only thirty minutes and well be on Earth, I can hardly wait."
Even though he didn't show it, Aioshi couldn't wait to see Earth either. The thought about how the planet looked was running across his mind.
"Agghhhhh"
The boy jumped up in shock, suddenly something had hit him. "Lia how do we find the Saiya-jin if he still exist?"
"Not to worry I have a way of finding our mystery man."
With the look on the kid's face, he was clearly curious to as how they might go about finding this Saiya-jin "With this device, it's called a scouter."
Aioshi was sitting waiting for her to explain "Basically a scouter can pick ki signatures. This particular one has a long list of species signatures including Saiya-jins. All we have to do is turn this bad boy on and Wa La, we've found are Saiya-jin."
The boy understood carefully but he still wanted to figure out how she obtained such a device"How did you get such an object"
She smiled at Oshi "It was in the supply closet. Every ship on our planet is required to have one so when space pilots go to distance planets they can know the power levels that they are dealing with, just protocol"
"I guess it make since. Just wake me when we land ok"
She smiled at the boy who looked so cold even with his eyes close
"Sure Aioshi."
*************************************
Back On Grand Kai Planet
The two fighters took their fighting stance. Pikkon glared at the fighter before him only to keep wondering who he was. Standing for a few minutes, without attacking, gave him time to come up with the perfect plan.
"I think I should test this fighter. I need to know how fast he is, how agile, and how hard he hit. Hmmm...I guess I should start off with a light attack to see how he reacts"
The crowd of dead warriors could be heard through out the stadium. Finally, Pikkon launched forward towards the cloaked fighter. As he vastly approached he blurred out of sight leaving behind only an after image.
The crowd was amazed. Everybody with the exception of the Z gang didn't see Pikkon zip behind the mystery man. A swift kick flew directly at the warrior's hood only to be blocked by his right arm. The green alien swung around still while in mid air to try and connected with a back heel with the left foot to the jaw; however, that was block with little effort.
Pikkon pushed off with his left foot to do an amazing arial display including a 360 twist flip completing a landing that would have earned him a ten amongst gymnastic judges. After standing there for a moment, the mysterious fighter finally spoke
"That was quite a display, but I thought we were going to lay waste to the sand bagging and get down to business."
Pikkon responded "Sure, But I only have one request... Can you please remove your robe so I can know whom I am fighting?"
"Only if you get rid of that weighted clothing. I want to fight you at you best, So if I win there will be no excuses to as who is the strongest." With the mysterious warrior's last words, Pikkon begin to take off his weight clothing.
Goku cracked a slight grin "Now this fight should get interesting"
Once Pikkon was done taking off his weighted clothes, he looked at the warrior before him and said "Now it is your turn."
The crowd starts chanting "TAKE OFF THE ROBE!!!!!!!" repeatedly.
After Continuous chanting the crowd fell silent, even Pikkon was shock. Krillin stood up and Screamed in shock "Iiiiiiii it's Gggggg Goku"
Goku responded to his shocked friend "No Krillin that's not me, Its Goten."
All of the Z fighters except for Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo Said in unison "GOTEN?"
Gohan starter to explain "Guys do you remember when my mom got pregnant but lost the baby because she was severely injured after the androids attacked? Well it seems my dad ask King Emma if he could take the baby and raise him. Emma agreed. For 21 years now, Goten has been training with dad and Piccolo on King Kai's Planet; while the rest of us was here training to become Grand Kai's apprentice.
Yamucha became curious as to how Gohan knew who he was.
"Hey Gohan how could you possibly knew about Goten? when you died 5 years ago you came straight here."
"Well I met him for the first time yesterday. But I am curious to why dad didn't tell me about him when he came to watch me in the tournament five years ago"
Goku put his eyes behind his head closed his eyes and smiled "I must have Forgot" Everybody Fell over anime style.
After they gained their composure, the focus was back on the fight.
Tien grinned "He looks just like Goku; Let's see if he's just as good a fighter."
Pikkon shook off his shock to ask, "Who are you kid?"
Goten responded "I'm Son Goten, Son of Son Goku."
"Well there is an uncanny resemblance between you and your father." Looking at Goten was like looking at Goku except he was an inch shorter, slight darker, and he had a tail.
"Well Pikkon I think its time I show you the true power of the Saiya-jin race"
with the last statement said all that was heard through out the stadium was a scream. Lights started to flash throughout the ring and with the final scream, Goten was standing before Pikkon with his Aura blazing gold; he was in his Super Saiya-jin Form.
**********************************
Back On Earth
Trunks was flying towards Kami's Peak. Judging by the speed that Trunks was flying at, he would reach the tower in under 3mins. As Trunks approached the seemingly endless column, he head directly up. Finally, he had reached the top. Before him stood Mr. PoPo
"Trunks, It's good to see you."
"It's good to see you too, Mr. PoPo, But can you tell me why did you need to see me?"
Popo put his head down "Well it seems that in about a half-hour a space ship will land 20 miles south from here."
Trunks stepped back in shock "Is the ki signature good or evil?" Popo answered, "I'm not sure." Trunks Turned south "Well I guess I should go greet our guest."
He Turned To Popo "Excuse Me Mr. Popo, can you inform my mother to what is going on?"
Popo smiled at the young man "It will be my pleasure to do so" With that said, Trunks blasted off into the sky heading to the coordinates That Popo Gave him. The only thing running through Trunks mind was that he was going to have defend the earth from danger once more.
"Why do I get stuck with all the cleaning duties? I thought my cleaning days were done when I kidnapped those village girls to clean my house."
"Oolong stop complaining, half of this mess here is yours anyway"
