Chapter 4: The Arrival
Zipping through the sky with his purplish hair grazing his ear, Trunks was rushing to the area that Mr.Popo, Earth's current guardian had given him.
"Only two more miles to go, I should be there in less than two min."
As he flew over a very rare nice green forest area, he couldn't help but feel that he would have to fight. He hoped that he didn't have to fight, but it wouldn't be his life if he didn't. Trunks arrived at the location. He started to descend towards the ground.
"Popo said that the ship would arrive in 30 min, it should have landed already."
As Trunks started to get impatient, a gust of wind caught him of guard from behind. The power of the wind raised his hair and his blue Capsule Corp. jean jacket. Raising His right arm over his head to block the rising dirt Trunks eyes was fixed on the ship's door.
Inside the ship, Thalia went to Akasmi room to notify him of their arrival. The young girl was filled with joy. She finally would get to meet the man who defeated the all power Frieza, as well as the rest of the cold regime.
She busted in his room "WAKE UP!!! We're here, we're really here."
The young boy jumped up when she screamed. After sitting up, everything she said begin to registered. He begins to break free from the effects of just waking up.
"Calm down! Are you trying to rip my freaking ears off!! Ok Thalia, let's get that scout watamajig so we can scan for a Saiya-jin key signature"
Thalia shook here head in agreement and continued to the items closet. The young girl opened the closet and pulled out two scouters. The scouters that she had in hand were far more advance then that of Vegeta's. These scouters not only read the power of someone, it can also determine their race as long it is in the scouter's computer database.
Returning from the closet, she handed Aioshi the blue lens scouter while she held on to the red lens one. After receiving the highly advanced scouter, Oshi seemed shock that a small item like this could read a persons power level. After looking it over, he decided to put it on over his right eye.
"Let's see how this contraption works. Ok, I think I'll press this big red button on the side." The screen quickly started up. A few seconds past before the scouter started to pick up a power. "Hey what's going on Lia? This thing is acting up" The young boy started to panic but Thalia didn't,she knew that it could only mean that the scouter is picking up a power reading.
"So tell me what does it say kid?" Replying to her comment with sarcasm
"You have a scouter; use it"
She realized that he was completely correct so she decided to face his direction and turn on her scouter.Both of the ship occupants were shocked at the power reading that was on their screen. It seemed that a level of this magnitude was unconceivable. "300,000! That's impossible" Maybe it is not Oshi. I remember my father telling me that Freezer power level was five hundred Thousand plus."
Well who could that be with a power level that high?"
"Let me check" Lia clicked the red button on her scouter two times so get additional information. After three seconds, all of the information popped up. What she saw brought a smile a cross her face.
"It's him; It's the Super Saiya-jin. He's outside of the ship"
The girl started to walk over to the control panel by the ship's door. Lia pressed a few buttons to open the door; Aioshi, however, didn't like this idea one bit. He quickly ran in front of the door to stop her from leaving.
"What do you think you're doing? It's too dangerous to go out there with a power reading that hi."
"It's ok kid, where not in danger. I can't explain why but I feel like were completely safe"
Looking deep into her eyes, he could see that she really believed it to be true. Aioshi decided to take a chance on her judgment by stepping aside to let her continue.
As the door begins to slide open, Trunks, clutched the handle of his sword. Before he could draw it, heSaw a girl step off the ship. He wondered; who was she and why was she here? The girl begins to walk over to the last remaining Saiya-jin. Smiling happily, while approaching the girl said "HI. I'm Thalia; You must be the Legendary Super Saiya-jin; the one who defeated Freezer and family" Trunks, was utterly shocked by the girls statement. She thought that he was Goku, the one and only Goku. After searching and scanning the area he found another ki signature, but that signature and the girl before him was neither large enough to be a threat to the Earth. He looked at the girl and decided it was all right to introduce himself. "Hi, I'm Trunks. I'm sorry to say but the Super Saiya-jin named Goku, Died about 22 years ago."
"You're not him" Thalia started to look disappointed that the man she had come all this way to see was dead. Her spirit was now officially broken. It finally hit her, the scouter said this person was a Saiya-jin, was he Goku's son?
"My Scouter indicates that you're a Saiya-jin. Are you not?
"Yes, I am a Saiya-jin"
"Are You Goku's Son?"
Trunks started to wonder why she wanted to know so much about Goku. What was it that she wanted from him? He noticed when he told here he was dead it rather broke her heart. Trunks decided he should find out more. The ship door started to open; Aioshi decided to join the party. When he arrived to where the two young adults were standing, he decided to join the conversation
"So is he the Legendary Super Saiya-jin"
Thalia looked at him with a sad look and replied, "No, he is not"
Trunks started to get furious. How dare they judge him without evening asking if he was a Super Saiya-jin. He looked at both the girl and the boy curious; why were they looking for Goku. He couldn't take it any more, he had to know "Tell me, why are you looking for Goku. Maybe I can help?"
The young half-pint responded sarcastically "We need the help of a Super Saiya-jin, not a Saiya-jin"
Trunks decided he should tell them about his abilities "Well if a
Super Saiya-jin is all you're looking for then look no further"
Thalia couldn't believe what this guy had just said. Sure, the scouter
stated he was powerful but Freezer could beat him, yet he claimed to
be a Super Saiya- jin. All she could think was that this guy was
full of himself.
"Your strong, no doubt about that, but a Super Saiya-jin? Give me a
break"
"So you doubt me huh? I guess I have to show you my true power then "
Trunk started to raise his ki level. As it began to raise, the ground
around the surrounding area begin to shake. Both Thalia and Aioshi
stood in shock as the numbers on the scouter began to climb. Trunks
was wearing the infamous Vegeta smirk as he powered up.
Trunks scream's can be heard from miles away. His power is shaking the
nearby earth. "His level is climbing fast, he's already at 2 million
and its still going." Not only was Aioshi surprised, he was also
impressed. They both started to observe a golden aura with electricity
surrounds his whole body. Both scouters blew up as his level kept
rising. Finally, Trunks eyes turn green; after that his hair
turned a golden yellow, He was a Super Saiya-jin.
Thalia couldn't believe what she was seeing. She was trying to fight
the image out of her head of the warrior who destroyed her race and
home. "Both fighters are exactly alike", then it clicked. The warrior
who destroyed her planet was a Super Saiya-jin.
"It can't be.... is this the Super Saiya-jin form? He looks ...looks like
the monster that destroyed my home and everything I loved."
A tear slowly began to escape her eye. Trunks notice that his
transformation was causing her deep pain, he decided to power down.
Slowly his hair & eyes went from yellow & green back to purple &
blue, his normal form.
"He looks just like the guy who destroyed our home world Oshi"
The boy was inclined to agree; he actually did battle against the
fighter. If this was, true then the Super Saiya-jin wasn't a hero; he
was a monster. Noticing their emotions after seeing him transform,
Trunks decided he would assure them that he was no threat.
"Hey, You guys don't have to fear me. Just tell me why you came here
looking for Son." Thalia was reluctant to speak. She was clearly faced
with mixed emotions. For one he didn't act like a killing
machine. In all actuality, he looked harmless. After searching her
feelings the purple headed girl felt that Trunks was of no threat to
them.
"The reason we're looking for the warrior you call Goku, I know him as
Kakarott from my fathers stories, is because he is the only hope we
have of saving the universe from falling into the hands of what
appears to be another Super Saiya-jin"
Questions quickly started to flood Trunk's head "How did she know
Goku's Saiya-jin name was Kakarott? And what is this she speaks of ...
another Super Saiya-jin?" As Trunks was thinking about
there being another Super Saiya-jin out there, he figure he'd run down
the list of the Saiya-jins who survived planet Vegeta's destruction.
"There was my dad, his friend Nappa, Son, Radditz and OH NO!!" Trunks
knew who it was that they were referring to. Trunks decided to get a
description of the warrior before he jumped to conclusions.
He decided to ask about the warrior in detail.
"Tell me one thing did he adorn a gold chain, two gold wrist bands,
and two gold ankle bands with green orbs in each of them?"
The two aliens looked at each other astonished. His description could
not have been more accurate. Aioshi wondered if he knew the warrior,
since he described features that nobody on his planet had
missed. The jewelry, aside from the golden hair and lack of pupils,
those were the only features that clearly stood out.
Aioshi asked, "Do you know him or something?"
Trunks decided to explain but first, but thought that they should go to his house before he does anything else. The wind in this desert region was starting to pick up and the sun was slowly starting to go down. He figured he should call his mother on her cell, he desperately need her help. He pulled out his phone and started to dial up her number.
"Come on mom pick up" after 7 rings a familiar voice came from the receiver
"Hello, Bulma Briefs speaking"
"MOM I need you to come to Sector 631 quick. Oh and bring your capsule conversion tools with youOk"
Bulma was puzzled as to why Trunks called She wondered if something was terribly wrong. Her son normally would never call her unless it was of an important matter. She wanted to know the reason to as why he wanted her to hurry with the capsule conversion machine.
"Tell me honey, why do you need the capsule conversion tools"
"Long story mom, I'll explain when you get out here. And mom "
"Yes sweetie"
"Bring a ship with two extra seats, we have guest that's going to be staying with us for a while"
Seeming curious by her son's statement, she decided to wait until she arrived to ask all the questions that Plagued her.
"Ok Trunks, I love you
"Love you to mom; see you when you get here." With that, Trunks hung up his phone and slid it back in the inner pocket of his jacket. He directed his eye to the two space travelers before him. He was sporting a smile to assure them that they were in no danger.
"You guys can't stay out here so I decided to inform my mom that the two of you are going to stay with us. We have a huge compound that I think the two of you will like."
The white haired boy decided to drop his anti-trust shield; he could no longer deny that he didn't feel safe. For some reason he felt that he could trust this guy, it was something about him. He decided it was time he introduced himself.
"I forgot to Introduce myself, My name is Aioshi, and you can call me Oshi for short."
"Ok Oshi, I will"
Back On Roshi Island
Only at Roshi's house for about 15 minutes, Bulma had to head back to Capsule Corp for the supplies trunks had asked for. With the estimated speed of her jet she should be home in approximately 20 min and at the coordinate trunks gave her in estimate 10. From her quick calculations her, trunks, and his guest should arrive home when the sun go down.
"Roshi I have to go, that was Trunks"
"Really, what did he want?
"For some odd reason he want me to come to sector 631"
Chi Chi decided to interject into the conversation "That place is a desert region. What is Trunks doing out there" the words escape Chi Chi lips in a worried motherly tone.
"Bulma I want go with you"
Master Roshi added "me too. Maybe this has something to do with Mr. Popo asking to see Trunks at the lookout".
Master Roshi got up from his recliner chair in the living room and headed up the stairs to change in into to pants and a long sleeve shirt. He hadn't left his island in almost 20 years. When the androids attacked, he decided to take refugee in a submarine about 30 miles off the coast of his island.
When he had needed food, he would send Puar and Oolong because of their shape shifting abilities. When danger arrived, they would shape shift themselves and the items into a form that was suitable. This was on technique that proved useful. Roshi came back down the stairs prepared to leave
"Where did Bulma and Chi Chi go?"
The pig responded, "They're waiting for you in the plane old man"
Master Roshi started to fume, he hated being called old "I AM NOT OLD YOU FAT PIECE OF SWINE! I'm just age challenged"
"Sure old man, whatever you say"
Before Oolong could bathe in the glory of getting to the old man, the turtle hermit slapped him hard on the head with his long brown wooden staff.
Rubbing the bump on his head, he glared at Roshi "WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?"
"I'M NOT OLD!"
"ARE TOO!"
"AM NOT"
ARE TOO!
CLICK CLICK was the only sound that was heard in the living. Both Oolong and Roshi quickly got scared and looked by the steps to see launch with a barrage of gun machine guns. She was packing so much heat that she could have taking on a small country.
"SHUT UP YOU PUNKS!" Next one to make noise is going to be hit with every bullet I have. Old man Get out of here, as for you pig clean that kitchen NOW!
Oolong & Roshi looked at each other wide-eyed. Roshi begin by saying "Well if she say I'm old then I'm old"
"I guess the kitchen is going to look like it never did before"
Growing annoyed and impatient Launch screamed "GET GOING YOU LOSERS!"
With that said, both headed to where they were directed to go. Roshi flew out the door like a bat out of hell and Oolong was doing his best Mr. Clean impression in the kitchen. Roshi Jumped In the ship "GO, Hurry before she hurts me" Both Chi Chi and Bulma knew that he must have pushed launches wrong buttons. They both laughed and sad in unison
"Silly old man"
Back on Grand Kai's Planet
The fight between Pikkon and Goten was heating up. Goten was indeed his fathers Son. Looking at the way he fought you would think Goku was fighting, accept Goku mistakes was minimum to zero while Goten made countless mistakes. Pikkon capitalized on every mistake.
"I thought you were better than this Goten, I guess I was wrong."
Eventhough it seemed like Goten was being sloppy, Piccolo noticed something that only Goku and Tien noticed. "Goten you sly devil" Gohan was confuse by Piccolo's comment
"Piccolo he's getting creamed. What do you mean by your previous statement?"
"Gohan look closely, he's studying his opponents skill level. This is similar to what your father does"
"Really, dad does this?"
"Yes. Goku feels out his opponent. He usually forces his opponents into various positions where they have to show their speed, agility and by letting his opponents hit him, he kind of gets a feel for how much effect their punches are going to have on him down the line."
Gohan knew that strength didn't determine a fight, he even knew a fighter had to be slightly smarter then his nemesis. The thing that Gohan didn't know, but intrigued him, was that there was actually a science to fighting. If that was the case then Piccolo & his father were fighting geniuses.
Gohan had finally learned the lesson that his father wanted to teach him before he died. Gohan begins to flash back to a time when he and his father were alive.
Gohan you're a good fighter, I'm so proud of you."
"I'm ok dad. I wish I was as good as you"
"Gohan when were done with your training your going to be better than I could ever dream of becoming"
"Dad you're a Super Saiya-jin, the strongest warrior in the universe. How can I compare to that?"
"Gohan that's why we're training, Son I want you to become a Super Saiya- jin"
Gohan was speechless by what his dad had just said; He wanted him to become a Super Saiya-jin. This was an impossible feat, so Gohan believed, but if his father believed he could do it, then he could do it.
"Dad I'll try my best".
"That's all I ask. Gohan, once you reach Super Saiya-jin I'm going to teach you a very intensive lesson about fighting. I know you think its just kicks, blocks, and punches, but believe me its much more to it then that. We trained hard enough today, let's go home"
End of Flashback
Goku never did get around to teaching Gohan that lesson. He died Three weeks after their Conversation. Gohan looked over at his father and smiled. Eventhough at times he seems naïve and stupid, he is a genius when it comes to fighting. The fight started to pick up
"Your good Pikkon, but I actually thought you were better. I guess my dad gave you more credit then you deserved, this fight is over." Pikkon just smiled at the Goku look a like
"Over! Are you deluded? You may have the same fighting style as your father but your technique is sloppy. Kid you're right about one thing this fight is over and I'm going to end it".
Goten smiled back at Pikkon as if he had an ace up his sleeve. "You're not as smart as you look. If you noticed your weight clothes are off, which means you're fighting at your best. Your hits are not as strong as my dad told me they were, so with that said I know what you are capable of. Idiot, I've been playing with you all along. Like I said its time to end this"
Pikkon just realized what he did. He revealed his true power to this warrior. Maybe this kid was much smarter than he looked, but Pikkon could not help but think that he was bluffing; however, what if he was not. That would mean he got Pikkon fighting style down to the T, which means that this fight really was over. Pikkon decide he would have to do his Tornado flash it was his only chance.
Goten knew this was going to happen; this was exactly what he wanted. He wanted to show of the new move that he has been working for a year now. This move would be his signature attack; he could not wait to use it. The Green alien, from the west quadrant, began to power up his attack.
Putting both of his fists together, Pikkon begin to power up. Reddish orange flames surrounded his body. "I hope your ready kid, this is my ultimate attack; the Tornado Flash." Goten seemed unfazed by West Kai's prizefighter comments.
He extends both of his arms to the center of his chest with his hands laying side ways with and open palm; it almost looked like Vegeta's hand position when he used the Final Flash against Cell. Goten started to speak to Pikkon
"You're the first to see my signature attack Pikkon, but you won't be the last. I dubbed it Rays of Fury"
"Nice name for a technique, but names don't when fights."
"Your right let me show the true power of the technique"
Both warriors are at opposite ends of the ring charging up for their attack. The energy forming from both warriors is shaking the mini-universe type stadium. The Energy started to form in to the palm of Goten's hands, while Pikkon's energy formed about 2 inches away from his Fist. Krillin looked at Yamucha, then at Piccolo, and then back at the ring.
Krillin said in a stern voice, "We will know the winner of this battle soon."
Pikkon screamed "THIS IS IT TAKE THIS TORNADO FLASH!!!!"
Goten Screamed out loud "HERE GOES NOTHING; RAYS OF FURY"
Both of the energy waves speeded towards each other on a collision course. Goten's bluish green beam, and Pikkons reddish orange beam connected; however, the unexpected happen. Everybody in the stadium was shocked as to what just happened. It seemed that when Goten's beam had hit about 20 little balls flew from the beam in calculated positions.
Goten smiled as Pikkon stared in fear. Goten facial expression got serious. It was time to end the fight that looked like he would lose. Every ball of energy that was stuck in mid-air began to collapse on Pikkon's whole body. Once the balls hit him, he dropped his beam allowing Goten's beam to make a direct hit in the chest causing a massive explosion that sent Pikkon out of the ring.
The ref was stunned at what he just saw, but he regained his composure
rather quickly. "Ladies & Gentlemen the winner of this year's
tournament, and the new Afterlife champion, Goten! Wasn't that an
amazing attack I don't think I ever seen anything like that ever."
Goku couldn't believe it either "How did he execute a technique of
that caliber?"
Krillin added "Yeah. You got to admit that was a killer finale. A
very unique signature move I would say"
All of the Z fighter s looked at Krillin and shook their head in
agreement. Goku eyes fixed on Gohan for a couple of seconds then he
fixed them on Goten "My boys, you never cease to amaze me, I'm
proud of you both. Goku turned to Piccolo and said with a look of sad
joy on his face
"It's going to be hard to see Goten go"
"Yea but the Earth needs another warrior. Eventhough Trunks is an
accomplish warrior, he's going to need help in the near future
defending it. Besides Goku, this is just what Chi Chi needs."
"Your right Piccolo, Chi Chi needs somebody to care for, and Goten
needs to know his mother. In the end reviving him with the Namekian
dragon balls is the best thing."
Goku smiled at the sky and thought "You're going home son, you're
going home"
Zipping through the sky with his purplish hair grazing his ear, Trunks was rushing to the area that Mr.Popo, Earth's current guardian had given him.
"Only two more miles to go, I should be there in less than two min."
As he flew over a very rare nice green forest area, he couldn't help but feel that he would have to fight. He hoped that he didn't have to fight, but it wouldn't be his life if he didn't. Trunks arrived at the location. He started to descend towards the ground.
"Popo said that the ship would arrive in 30 min, it should have landed already."
As Trunks started to get impatient, a gust of wind caught him of guard from behind. The power of the wind raised his hair and his blue Capsule Corp. jean jacket. Raising His right arm over his head to block the rising dirt Trunks eyes was fixed on the ship's door.
Inside the ship, Thalia went to Akasmi room to notify him of their arrival. The young girl was filled with joy. She finally would get to meet the man who defeated the all power Frieza, as well as the rest of the cold regime.
She busted in his room "WAKE UP!!! We're here, we're really here."
The young boy jumped up when she screamed. After sitting up, everything she said begin to registered. He begins to break free from the effects of just waking up.
"Calm down! Are you trying to rip my freaking ears off!! Ok Thalia, let's get that scout watamajig so we can scan for a Saiya-jin key signature"
Thalia shook here head in agreement and continued to the items closet. The young girl opened the closet and pulled out two scouters.

"You have a scouter; use it"

It seemed that a level of this magnitude was unconceivable. "300,000! That's impossible" Maybe it is not Oshi.

"Come on mom pick up" after 7 rings a familiar voice came from the receiver
"Hello, Bulma Briefs speaking"
"MOM I need you to come to Sector 631 quick. Oh and bring your capsule conversion tools with youOk"
Bulma was puzzled as to why Trunks called She wondered if something was terribly wrong. Her son normally would never call her unless it was of an important matter. She wanted to know the reason to as why he wanted her to hurry with the capsule conversion machine.
"Tell me honey, why do you need the capsule conversion tools"
"Long story mom, I'll explain when you get out here. And mom "
"Yes sweetie"
"Bring a ship with two extra seats, we have guest that's going to be staying with us for a while"
Seeming curious by her son's statement, she decided to wait until she arrived to ask all the questions that Plagued her.
"Ok Trunks, I love you
"Love you to mom; see you when you get here." With that, Trunks hung up his phone and slid it back in the inner pocket of his jacket. He directed his eye to the two space travelers before him. He was sporting a smile to assure them that they were in no danger.
"You guys can't stay out here so I decided to inform my mom that the two of you are going to stay with us. We have a huge compound that I think the two of you will like."
The white haired boy decided to drop his anti-trust shield; he could no longer deny that he didn't feel safe. For some reason he felt that he could trust this guy, it was something about him. He decided it was time he introduced himself.
"I forgot to Introduce myself, My name is Aioshi, and you can call me Oshi for short."
"Ok Oshi, I will"
Back On Roshi Island
Only at Roshi's house for about 15 minutes, Bulma had to head back to Capsule Corp for the supplies trunks had asked for. With the estimated speed of her jet she should be home in approximately 20 min and at the coordinate trunks gave her in estimate 10. From her quick calculations her, trunks, and his guest should arrive home when the sun go down.
"Roshi I have to go, that was Trunks"
"Really, what did he want?
"For some odd reason he want me to come to sector 631"
Chi Chi decided to interject into the conversation "That place is a desert region. What is Trunks doing out there" the words escape Chi Chi lips in a worried motherly tone.
"Bulma I want go with you"
Master Roshi added "me too. Maybe this has something to do with Mr. Popo asking to see Trunks at the lookout".
Master Roshi got up from his recliner chair in the living room and headed up the stairs to change in into to pants and a long sleeve shirt. He hadn't left his island in almost 20 years. When the androids attacked, he decided to take refugee in a submarine about 30 miles off the coast of his island.
When he had needed food, he would send Puar and Oolong because of their shape shifting abilities. When danger arrived, they would shape shift themselves and the items into a form that was suitable. This was on technique that proved useful. Roshi came back down the stairs prepared to leave
"Where did Bulma and Chi Chi go?"
The pig responded, "They're waiting for you in the plane old man"
Master Roshi started to fume, he hated being called old "I AM NOT OLD YOU FAT PIECE OF SWINE! I'm just age challenged"
"Sure old man, whatever you say"
Before Oolong could bathe in the glory of getting to the old man, the turtle hermit slapped him hard on the head with his long brown wooden staff.
Rubbing the bump on his head, he glared at Roshi "WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?"
"I'M NOT OLD!"
"ARE TOO!"
"AM NOT"
ARE TOO!
CLICK CLICK was the only sound that was heard in the living. Both Oolong and Roshi quickly got scared and looked by the steps to see launch with a barrage of gun machine guns. She was packing so much heat that she could have taking on a small country.
"SHUT UP YOU PUNKS!" Next one to make noise is going to be hit with every bullet I have. Old man Get out of here, as for you pig clean that kitchen NOW!
Oolong & Roshi looked at each other wide-eyed. Roshi begin by saying "Well if she say I'm old then I'm old"
"I guess the kitchen is going to look like it never did before"
Growing annoyed and impatient Launch screamed "GET GOING YOU LOSERS!"
With that said, both headed to where they were directed to go. Roshi flew out the door like a bat out of hell and Oolong was doing his best Mr. Clean impression in the kitchen. Roshi Jumped In the ship "GO, Hurry before she hurts me" Both Chi Chi and Bulma knew that he must have pushed launches wrong buttons. They both laughed and sad in unison
"Silly old man"
Back on Grand Kai's Planet
The fight between Pikkon and Goten was heating up. Goten was indeed his fathers Son. Looking at the way he fought you would think Goku was fighting, accept Goku mistakes was minimum to zero while Goten made countless mistakes. Pikkon capitalized on every mistake.
"I thought you were better than this Goten, I guess I was wrong."
Eventhough it seemed like Goten was being sloppy, Piccolo noticed something that only Goku and Tien noticed. "Goten you sly devil" Gohan was confuse by Piccolo's comment
"Piccolo he's getting creamed. What do you mean by your previous statement?"
"Gohan look closely, he's studying his opponents skill level. This is similar to what your father does"
"Really, dad does this?"
"Yes. Goku feels out his opponent. He usually forces his opponents into various positions where they have to show their speed, agility and by letting his opponents hit him, he kind of gets a feel for how much effect their punches are going to have on him down the line."
Gohan knew that strength didn't determine a fight, he even knew a fighter had to be slightly smarter then his nemesis. The thing that Gohan didn't know, but intrigued him, was that there was actually a science to fighting. If that was the case then Piccolo & his father were fighting geniuses.
Gohan had finally learned the lesson that his father wanted to teach him before he died. Gohan begins to flash back to a time when he and his father were alive.
Gohan you're a good fighter, I'm so proud of you."
"I'm ok dad. I wish I was as good as you"
"Gohan when were done with your training your going to be better than I could ever dream of becoming"
"Dad you're a Super Saiya-jin, the strongest warrior in the universe. How can I compare to that?"
"Gohan that's why we're training, Son I want you to become a Super Saiya- jin"
Gohan was speechless by what his dad had just said; He wanted him to become a Super Saiya-jin. This was an impossible feat, so Gohan believed, but if his father believed he could do it, then he could do it.
"Dad I'll try my best".
"That's all I ask. Gohan, once you reach Super Saiya-jin I'm going to teach you a very intensive lesson about fighting. I know you think its just kicks, blocks, and punches, but believe me its much more to it then that. We trained hard enough today, let's go home"
End of Flashback
Goku never did get around to teaching Gohan that lesson. He died Three weeks after their Conversation. Gohan looked over at his father and smiled. Eventhough at times he seems naïve and stupid, he is a genius when it comes to fighting. The fight started to pick up
"Your good Pikkon, but I actually thought you were better. I guess my dad gave you more credit then you deserved, this fight is over." Pikkon just smiled at the Goku look a like
"Over! Are you deluded? You may have the same fighting style as your father but your technique is sloppy. Kid you're right about one thing this fight is over and I'm going to end it".
Goten smiled back at Pikkon as if he had an ace up his sleeve. "You're not as smart as you look. If you noticed your weight clothes are off, which means you're fighting at your best. Your hits are not as strong as my dad told me they were, so with that said I know what you are capable of. Idiot, I've been playing with you all along. Like I said its time to end this"
Pikkon just realized what he did. He revealed his true power to this warrior. Maybe this kid was much smarter than he looked, but Pikkon could not help but think that he was bluffing; however, what if he was not. That would mean he got Pikkon fighting style down to the T, which means that this fight really was over. Pikkon decide he would have to do his Tornado flash it was his only chance.
Goten knew this was going to happen; this was exactly what he wanted. He wanted to show of the new move that he has been working for a year now. This move would be his signature attack; he could not wait to use it. The Green alien, from the west quadrant, began to power up his attack.
Putting both of his fists together, Pikkon begin to power up. Reddish orange flames surrounded his body. "I hope your ready kid, this is my ultimate attack; the Tornado Flash." Goten seemed unfazed by West Kai's prizefighter comments.
He extends both of his arms to the center of his chest with his hands laying side ways with and open palm; it almost looked like Vegeta's hand position when he used the Final Flash against Cell. Goten started to speak to Pikkon
"You're the first to see my signature attack Pikkon, but you won't be the last. I dubbed it Rays of Fury"
"Nice name for a technique, but names don't when fights."
"Your right let me show the true power of the technique"
Both warriors are at opposite ends of the ring charging up for their attack. The energy forming from both warriors is shaking the mini-universe type stadium. The Energy started to form in to the palm of Goten's hands, while Pikkon's energy formed about 2 inches away from his Fist. Krillin looked at Yamucha, then at Piccolo, and then back at the ring.
Krillin said in a stern voice, "We will know the winner of this battle soon."
Pikkon screamed "THIS IS IT TAKE THIS TORNADO FLASH!!!!"
Goten Screamed out loud "HERE GOES NOTHING; RAYS OF FURY"
Both of the energy waves speeded towards each other on a collision course. Goten's bluish green beam, and Pikkons reddish orange beam connected; however, the unexpected happen. Everybody in the stadium was shocked as to what just happened. It seemed that when Goten's beam had hit about 20 little balls flew from the beam in calculated positions.
Goten smiled as Pikkon stared in fear. Goten facial expression got serious. It was time to end the fight that looked like he would lose. Every ball of energy that was stuck in mid-air began to collapse on Pikkon's whole body. Once the balls hit him, he dropped his beam allowing Goten's beam to make a direct hit in the chest causing a massive explosion that sent Pikkon out of the ring.
The ref was stunned at what he just saw, but he regained his composure
rather quickly. "Ladies & Gentlemen the winner of this year's
tournament, and the new Afterlife champion, Goten! Wasn't that an
amazing attack I don't think I ever seen anything like that ever."
Goku couldn't believe it either "How did he execute a technique of
that caliber?"
Krillin added "Yeah. You got to admit that was a killer finale. A
very unique signature move I would say"
All of the Z fighter s looked at Krillin and shook their head in
agreement. Goku eyes fixed on Gohan for a couple of seconds then he
fixed them on Goten "My boys, you never cease to amaze me, I'm
proud of you both. Goku turned to Piccolo and said with a look of sad
joy on his face
"It's going to be hard to see Goten go"
"Yea but the Earth needs another warrior. Eventhough Trunks is an
accomplish warrior, he's going to need help in the near future
defending it. Besides Goku, this is just what Chi Chi needs."
"Your right Piccolo, Chi Chi needs somebody to care for, and Goten
needs to know his mother. In the end reviving him with the Namekian
dragon balls is the best thing."
Goku smiled at the sky and thought "You're going home son, you're
going home"
