Chapter 8: Goten's Promise Fulfilled

The night was winding down, and Trunks thought it was a good time to leave. Trunk gave the girl he was dancing with his number, and then he motioned his hand for Thaila to meat him by the exit. Melody was stuck to Goten's arm. Trunks also motioned his hand for Goten to meet him "Well, Melody, I've enjoyed our time together but I really must be going" she quickly grabbed his hand and wrote her number "Call me some time OK. I can show around this city and we can have a lot of fun. You're going to call right? Promise me you'll call" Goten smiled at the blonde hair green eye vixen. "I guess I can call you "

Her eyes went all starry. She quickly gave him a kiss on the cheek and waved goodbye. As he walked towards Trunks and Thaila he couldn't help but look at his hand. He was curious as to why would she write numbers on his hand. As he got close to the group Trunks spoke "You only been on earth for half a day and your getting girls numbers and everything" Goten took his eyes off of his right hand

"Yeah about that.... Why did she write all these numbers on my hand for.?" Trunks almost fell over but he realized that Goten was accustom to this to all this. "I'll explain it all in the car".

It was close to two in the morning when Trunks and the rest of the gang arrived at Capsule Corp. Trunks explained to Goten what the number was for but thought it best he didn't explain anything else, Goten had to experience life everybody and he felt it wouldn't be fair to explain thing that would explain itself. "So Trunks, If insert these numbers into a phone then I can get in contact with her. That's pretty cool."

Trunks entered the code that opened the door from the garage to the main house. Trunks entered first followed by Thalia, and Goten. Trunks stopped and looked back at Goten "Goten, follow me so I can you a room and something to sleep in." Goten just followed, Thalia on the other hand gave the two demi-saiya-jins a hand gesture and headed towards the room that Bulma assigned to her.

Trunks finally stop and open the door to his room. "Goten come on in. I got to find a you a pair of shorts and a shirt to sleep in" After going through his closet Goten spotted a weapon that was in the corner "Trunks can I see that sword?" Trunks looked at Goten then back at his sword. After a couple of seconds he grabbed the sword "Here, be careful with I ok." If anything, Goten was marveled by the craftsmanship of the sword, this was truly on of a kind. "Cool sword Trunks, here you go?" Trunks placed the sword back in its sheath and placed it where it originally was.

He handed Goten a pair of shorts and a shirt "Here you go. Your room is across the hall from mind. So if you need anything tell me ok." Before Goten went to the door he looked back "Well there is one thing that I do need" Trunks was curious what was that gotten wanted from him? "I need your help to find Gohan's daughter. Can you help me find her, it was promise that I made to Gohan before I left." Trunks didn't forget that Goten mentioned to everybody that Gohan had a girl. He was shock and happy to hear that A piece of Gohan still lived in this world.

"Sure we'll start our search tomorrow. Is that ok?" Goten gave a smile "it's perfect. Oh and thanks Trunks." Trunks had the slightest idea to why Goten was thanking him "Thanks......thanks for what?"

"For helping me find Pan."

"Don't worry about it, know go get some sleep we have a long day ahead of us". With that said Goten headed to the room across from his. Dende was Looking from a top of the lookout "Popo, you know those two are something special" Mr. Popo shook his head in agreement "The son of Goku and The son of Vegeta, it's really no surprise." Dende gave a slight laugh "Well guess your right Popo, it's in their genes. I just hope that those two have the power necessary to beat Brolly." Popo turned his head slightly while maintaining the flowers in his garden "Don't worry, if anybody can do it, it would be those two."

Dende wasn't too bothered by Brolly, he was but the fact that he felt an evil presences on earth already was what really unease him. He started to think to himself "I hope that they can beat Brolly and this other evil force I'm feeling on the planet. They are the only hope for this planet and this universe. It's up to you Trunks and Goten. It's up to you".

The alarm clock ranged "BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG" Trunks slapped the clock that was on the night stand by his bed to the floor "Finally that blasted thing is off; well I guess I'll just take a shower now". Trunks walked to the door across from his bed, it led to the bath room attached to his room.

Goten on the other hand had been up for the past two hours. He was taking this time to get to know his mother a bit better. Actually everybody in the house has been up since eight this morning. Chi Chi was up and hour early cooking for the son she thought that was lost forever. While cooking people started to come down to eat with the exception of Trunks. Since that time Chi Chi and Goten have been sitting outside talking catching up. Oolong, Puar, Roshi, Lunch, Bulma, and Thalia have been sitting around talking.

Chi Chi was looking at Goten "You look just like your father, the resemblance is uncanny". Goten smiled, to be compared to his father was more than a compliment. This was the man that he respect and want to be like. His face was now serious "Mother, tell something "Chi Chi didn't have and idea what he wanted to know but she responded "What do you want me to tell you?" Goten looked down. He was trying to find the words that wouldn't scare the woman, she suffered enough.

He looked back up "Tell me about how your life was after Gohan died." He quickly regretted what he said. As expected her facial expression went from happy to sad in and instant. "I didn't mean.....if you don't want to talk about it then we can change the subject" Chi Chi looked up and smiled "No It's ok. When Goku died it saddened me beyond words. But I still had Gohan, and you were my gift that Goku gave before he died. When I miscarried I was never the same. Apart of Goku was gone, apart of me was gone. Gohan was that I had in this world. When Trunks informed me of his death I just... I jus......" Chi had to gather herself for a moment. The one thing she thought that she would always have was Gohan she never thought he would die before her, never.

"I'm sorry about what happened to you, truly, I'm try and put the past behind. You have me now, and when I find Pan, you'll have her too. It will never be the family you had but it is a family, and that's what counts right. I never got the chance to spend time with you like Gohan and dad did, and now that I have a chance I'm not going to blow it." Chi Chi started to smile as tears fell down her eye. "Goten, a couple of days ago I was dragging through life with nothing to live for it was like I was waiting for death. But you have giving me a reason to live. Fate works in a funny way. It took all that I loved dear just to replace it with a something new to love."

Stood up from the table then looked at his mother, "Well I Think it's about time that I go find my niece. I wonder how she'll react to me." Chi Chi stood up and walked over to him and hugged him "find her ok."

"I will. That I promise." Trunks walked in on the crowd. Standing by the door he screamed "hey Goten, are you ready!?" Goten jogged over to Trunks "Before we go can you give me a clothes to wear, these shorts you gave me are nice but pants would be better." Trunks gave a slight laugh "I guess I can do that"

20 minutes later Goten returned back to the group sitting out side. Everybody looked at him "Hey guys what do you think, pretty cool huh?" Goten jacket was the same exact on Goku had on during his search for the dragonballs in the Cell games. The only difference was that his T-shirt was orange and his pants were black. He also had black boots similar to that of Trunks mustard yellow boots.

Chi examines Goten's outfit "It's nice, I really like it."

"Well mom, me Trunks should get going". He turned his head slightly to the left "Ready, Trunks?" Trunks nodded to let him know he was ready to leave. "When ever you're ready Goten" Goten closed his eyes. He was scanning the planet for an energy signature that was similar to his owns. All eyes were on Goten as he was searching the Earth. His eyes shot open and a huge grin soon followed "I FOUND IT!!"

"Well maybe we should get going" Goten grabbed Trunks hand and placed his left index finger and middle finger to center of his forehead. Trunks quickly looked at Goten "Instannn......" before he could finish the sentence they vanished into thin air. Thalia was standing next to Roshi with hear jaw on the ground. Aioshi was resting atop of the balcony fence when he saw what Goten just did. "What the hell? He's gone amazing".

Thalia was still standing in shock. Her eyes still locked on to the spot that Trunks and Goten once stood "Ummm is it just me or did they just vanish into thin air." Roshi felt it was his place to explain "The short answer , yes. Actually, Goten just teleported. Where ever you want to go in the universe that technique will get you their in a 1/10th of a second."

"Wow that is an amazing technique. It shouldn't be long until they find her." Aioshi jumped off of the banister and headed back towards gravity room. To this ten year old boy strength was the only thing that mattered to him. Bulma noticed Aioshi wasn't lying on the second floor guard rail. She had a good idea of where he was going. Two days on earth and he has done nothing but train. Bulma felt sorry for the boy, she could see that his childish spirit was broken. She knew it all to well, she saw the same look in her son's face. She had to try to bring back the kid. "A kid growing up faster than required is a pity maybe I should go talk to him." Bulma leaves the others in the yard and heads towards the house with one goal in mind; who is the true Aioshi? She'll soon find out.

Somewhere in Eastern City (1/10th of second after Thaila jaw dropped)

"tttttt trannnnssssssmisssssssiiioooooonnnnn" They were smack dab in front of a sort of suburb type of area. Kids were playing stick ball in the middle of the street. Goten pointed to the girl who was at bat. "That's her. Her energy level is similar to mine, but remarkably similar to Gohan's "Trunk was inclined to agree. However, the one thing that bothered Trunks was that how come he didn't such a power before. He realized that it was relatively low, but strong than most humans. He figured the reason he didn't since it was because he was out lend his help to rebuild cities and enjoying life in his free time.

A kid with a green hat and blond hair prepared himself to pitch to the girl up at bat "Let's see if you can hit this one Pan." With that he The boy launched the ball forth. Pan focused on the ball and in an instant swung. CRACK!!!!!! The ball was out of plain view. "Maybe next Time Led". Trunks was amazed "The kid certainly has power" a little blond girl with blue eyes blue jeans and a pink shirt who was observing the Game from the curb looked up and screamed. "AAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Led looked at his sister, "What is the matter with you Paper?" The girl was at a lost for words, then she just blurted it out "ITS Trunks"

all of the kids looked up to see the who saved the world from the androids standing there. All of the kids started to run up to Trunks accept one. Pan just looked at him. The little girl who first took notice ran up to where he and Goten was standing. "It's really you. I'm Paper Pencil, and I'm your biggest fan." Trunks was at a lost for words, he was shy at heart, but he couldn't break the little girls heart by acting like an a-hole if he didn't say nothing. "It's nice to meet you Paper" Paper turned around and looked one of the girls nearby "he said it was nice to meet me" and with that fell to the floor.

The parents of the kids wondered what all the commotion was about; some decided to come out of their house. Two ladies emerged From the same house one with blonde hair blues and the other with black hair blue eyes. The blonde haired woman looked at her friend "Videl what the hell is going on out their?" "How am supposed to know Erasa, I'm no freaking Geniu......" Videl now saw what the kids saw. Erasa was wondering what made Videl stop in mid-sentence, then she followed her eyes and landed on the kids harassing Trunks. "is that who I think it is?" Videl eyes still focused on the purple haired man "Yep, it's him alright, but what's he doing out here?"

Goten looked at Videl, he then turned to Trunks to whispering over the kids "Trunks, that's her mother" Trunks tilted his head to Goten with look of question "which one?"

"The one with black hair; both of their energy signatures is similar." Trunks didn't have a clue on how to approach this situation. "What should we do?" Goten slapped Trunks's shoulder "that's easy silly; We go introduce ourselves" Trunks shrugged his shoulders. Both mean proceeded towards Videl and Erasa. While walking Trunks turned to his new friend " Goten, don't let her know that your Gohan's Brother, not right now anyway." Goten didn't have a clue to as why Trunks didn't want him to tell them who he was, but he figured Trunks knew what he was doing.

Trunks and Goten arrived in front of the ladies who were standing in front of the brick house. Trunks decided to speak up "Hi, I'm Trunks and this is My friend Goten" Goten wave to both of the ladies with a Smile. Trunks continued "Do you mind if we go in and talk?" Videl Thought that would be a good idea. Everybody proceeded into Videl's house. Videl escorted her two new guest to the kitchen table. "Do you guys want something to drink? "Goten responded "Water please" Videl looked at Trunks and smiled "So Gohan was right about you" Trunks eyes went wide in shock "Gohan told you about me?"

Yep. He told me that he was training a kid who would be the one to defeat the androids. When I got word that a young man defeated the two demons I knew it was the boy Gohan trained. Goten decided to enter the conversation "Actually that kind of why we're here. Can I ask you something Videl, what do you know of Gohan's family" Videl wasn't expecting such a question. " Actually I don't know much. I know he lost his father when he was young, he always talked about his father. He missed him a lot, you could tell just by how he used to go on about his father. He also talked about his mother but not much in detail. I wish I did know more about her family that way she could know about her father's side"

Pan ran through the door with her stick in hand. She was blunt and straight to the point "Mom what's going on?" Videl looked at her daughter "I don't know that's what I'm trying to find out" She then looked at Trunks for an answer. Goten stood up "The reason we're here is because I mad a promise to my father and my Brother. To make long story short I'm Gohan's brother." Videl gasped. Pan just looked at the man who claimed to be here uncle. Once the shock wore off, Videl was angry "How dare you play a joke like that. You have no right and will not let you make a joke out of the man that I loved. Get out of my house get out now" Videl was rushing the two to the door.

Both were trying to plead their cases to no avail. Then it hit. The only proof he needed lay in his wallet. It was a Picture of Goku, Gohan, and Chi. Gohan had asked him to hold on to the picture for him. Trunks pulled the picture out his wallet "Let me prove that Pan is his niece." Videl stopped "you got one minute" Trunks handed her the picture. Videl touched the little boy who was Gohan "Go......han" She glanced to the man in the picture and then to Goten "How are you in this picture?"

"That's not me, That's my dad". Trunks spoke once more "Please let us explain, it's along story but we can tell it if you let us" she decided to here them out. Go ahead. Goten smiled at Trunks "shall I explain, or shall you?" Trunks smiled back at Goten "Tell this story, I wouldn't know where to begin. It's a;; on you buddy" Goten sighed . He looked at Pan and Videl "I think you guys better take a seat this is a very ....very.....very ...very ..Long story"

Goten told his tale. He just hoped the would believe him. Pan was dying to know something "You mean I have a Grand-mother?" Trunks looked at the little girl "yep and she going to be happy to meet you." Pan Looked at her mother "Mommy can I meet her? "Videl didn't know how to answer this for she didn't know how to reach the lady "well I guess but...." Goten cut Videl off "You can go see her now if you want." Pan squealed "REALLY!!!" Videl still didn't know if she could trust them. But she went with her gut feeling. "Ok honey, we can go. so how are we getting there?" Goten looked at Videl "Instant Transmission"

Goten grabbed Pan hand. Trunks grabbed Videl's and place the other on Goten's shoulder. Goten turned to Erasa "You want to come too?" She looked at Goten like he was crazy "where are we going in the first place? " Trunks responded to the question "Were going to Capsule Corp, Goten's going to teleport us there." She laughed at what Trunks said. She held her best friends hand. She looked at Videl "Teleport he's crazy" Videl nodded in agreement Erasa made more wise cracks "Like anybody can teleport, I believe it when I seeee...."

Before she knew it she was standing in front of a bunch of people she never knew. Everybody except for Trunks and Goten was in shocked at what just happened. "eeeee iiitttttttt" She was at lost for words. Chi Chi Stood up "Goten your back." Chi Chi saw the little girl holding on to Goten's hand. Chi Chi ran straight for the little girl. She grabbed her up in a big huge "Pan my grand baby I can't believe it. I can't believe I a grand mother this truly is the two best days I had in a along time." Pan was signaling for some body to help her. Trunks tapped Chi Chi on the shoulder "Umm Chi Chi, she can't breathe." Chi Chi released how tight she was holding and let her go.

Pan caught her breath and returned the huge "You're my grandma. I have a Grandma and a uncle." Videl walked up to Chi Chi "Hi I'm Videl, It's a pleasure to finally you. I wish Gohan would have introduced us I'm sure we wouldn't be meeting under these circumstances." Chi Chi with Pan her arms "You right but You know Gohan always the shy one." Videl laughed "I guess that is true". Trunks walked up to where Roshi and the rest of the gang was sitting. "Hey did you guy see my mother?" Oolong responded "She went in the house about 20 minutes ago."

'Thanks." Thanking the pig, he headed to the house. he left Goten, Pan, Videl, and Chi Chi to catch up. Trunks entered the complex and headed For the second level. Walking down the hall he begin to call out "Mom, where are you?" Bulma responded "over here Trunks." He followed her voice only to find her looking in on Aioshi train. "Mom what are you doing here? "she pointed to Aioshi "I'm watching him train. I told him he should have fun, want to know what he told me."

"What did he say.? "

Bulma Took her gaze off of the window through which she saw The boy To look at her son" He said the thought of killing Brolly is fun enough. Trunks He may be bent on destroying that guy but if I'm not correct didn't you say he had a grudge against Goku?"

"Yes mom I told you this already why ask.? "

"Trunks Think about it. Its only a matter of time before he attacks the Earth." Trunks realized that his mother was right. Goku had warned that Brolly was going to come to Earth. "Your right he will come. Peace never last does it." He really didn't want his mother to answer that question "I guess it my destiny to protect it. Mom don't worry about Brolly, he wont harm us I guarantee it"

Goten came to get the two "Hey Bulma , my mother told me to come get you . she wants you to meet Pan ' Bulma looked at Goten "She's here! See you guys down stairs." Bulma ran as fast as she could to see what she looked like. Trunks Stopped gotten before he could return to the group "Goten, do you see Aioshi in there training" Goten shook his head "Yea, he looks like he's giving it his all."

"He is, and so will we. Goten a powerful warrior is coming to Earth. He is the legendary Super Saiya-jin. Alone I don't know if I can beat him, but together I think we have what it takes to win." Goten was glowing with happiness "So by Legendary you mean invincible, can't be beaten, the odds not in our favor right?" Trunks wide eye expressed his shock to how gotten responded to the news "Yea pretty much" a slight grin spread across Goten's face "so when do we Train?" Trunks Looked at Aioshi "Tomorrow, we start tomorrow" Both warriors turned their gaze to Aioshi. Tomorrow will be the day that the Son of Goku and the Son of Vegeta Train for a battle that they stand no chance of winning; or do they? Time soon will tell.
