It had been several weeks since the announcement of the world tournament. With the tournament coming in a few months Trunks and Goten went to training the others and themselves. Goten and Trunks had taught the fusion dance to Kakkarot and Brolly who had many failures due to Brolly's refusal to look stupid. Nelis, Radditz and Lena often visited the palace to train with the prince, while Goten and Asuka used Trunks's gravity room for their training. Trunks and Ashe decided against constant training and so whenever Goten and Asuka weren't using the gravity room, the couple would train for an hour or two with the extra gravity provided by the gravity belts.
The tournament was almost two months away and already other students hounded Trunks and Goten about what the grand prize would be. Goten would tell big grand stories about unrealistic prizes while Trunks just ignored them.
On this particular day Trunks was waiting in Hun's living room waiting for Ashe to finish getting ready for their day together. Since school had let out for a few months for the tournament Trunks had dedicated the entire day to having fun with his new girl. (AN: They are a warring type people, I'm pretty sure education takes the backseat when it comes to fighting.)
"So tell me Trunks will the strongest Saiyajin be entering the tournament?" Hun questioned as Trunks grinned and shook his head. "Why not, you would win for sure!" Hun grinned as Trunks sighed.
"That's the problem." He grinned as Hun smiled and then called for Ashe. The girl yelled back something that sounded like 'shut up' or 'hold up' Trunks thought it most likely to be the first.
He knew that Ashe never really liked or cared about her father. He had abused her physically and mentally. Now that Ashe was much stronger than him she often lashed out at him with snide comments or sent him warning glares whenever he said anything she didn't like. Hun, on the other hand, had become more subservient towards Ashe. Trunks knew it happened for two reasons: one, his daughter's 'life-mate' was many times stronger than him, and second his own daughter was also many times stronger than him. Hun really had no choice but to put up with Ashe's disrespect.
Trunks wondered if that would be how he acted if he ever became stronger than his father. Though Vegeta never went as far as Ashe's father had, Trunks still wondered. Ten to fifteen minutes late Ashe appeared at the top of the steps wearing a short red skirt with black shorts hidden under the skirt, a pair of knee high skin tight black boats, black forearm gauntlets, and a white A-shirt which had a V cut collar and under this shirt was a regular black A-Shirt.
(AN: A-shirt for those who don't know what those are: undershirts that are sleeveless also called 'wife-beaters' how it got that name I don't even want to know)
"Hey, Trunks. Dad I will be back later today, when mom gets out of bed tell her I said bye." Ashe then rushed by her father and latched onto Trunks's arm.
"Where to first?" Trunks asked as the couple closed the door behind them and flew into the sky.
"I don't know, I kinda want to train, but you don't want to." Ashe stated and Trunks laughed.
"I wanted you to have fun today! If training is fun to you then we can do that." Trunks grinned as Ashe brushed a lock of blonde hair from her face.
"Trunks have you noticed anything different?" Ashe asked and Trunks grinned nervously. As soon as he did this Ashe frowned and shook her head.
"Never mind. I thought you would notice my hair has grown a little." Ashe stated as she ran her hands through her blonde locks. Trunks raised a brow and replied.
"Actually you're hair is just straighter." He countered and Ashe frowned and then laughed.
"I know, I just wanted to see if you could tell the difference." She grinned and began to fly towards his home.
"Where are you going?" Trunks yelled as she replied.
"Training… remember?" Ashe yelled back and blasted towards his home.
In the Future Timeline:
"I'll handle it Kakkarot, you just make sure you get rid of those damn dragons!" Vegeta growled as Goku smiled back at him.
"Don't worry Vegeta, I'll handle it." With that Goku stated as he blasted off into the sky. Vegeta turned to Bulma and sighed.
"Will he always surpass me? Every attempt I make at reaching his strength is wasted because he always finds a way to go beyond me… now Kakkarot has reached the fourth level of Super Saiyajin and I can't even reach the third." Vegeta growled to himself as Bulma comforted him.
"Don't worry Vegeta, I've been working on a way to advance you to the next level just like Goku! I think it will be ready soon, but first you have to go back and warn Trunks and Goten of baby and the overuse of the dragonballs." Bulma reminded him and Vegeta nodded.
"I'll return woman. If you need me then come in after me and get me understand?" Vegeta asked and Bulma nodded with a smile.
"Now hurry up, by the time you get back I will have a process by which will transform you into a level four Super Saiyajin." Bulma grinned and Vegeta smirked as he stepped into the Time Portal.
Vegeta arrived on Planet Vegeta instantly inside of the palace and came face to face with his younger self.
"Brat, where is my son?" Vegeta asked the prince who answered.
"Trunks is somewhere with Ashe… where, I don't know. If I were you, I would check Bardock's home. Now if you excuse me, I have training to do." Prince Vegeta walked quickly past his adult self and into a room.
Vegeta watched the young man disappear into a room and growled. He ignored the younger Vegeta's disrespect and exited the palace and flew for Bardock's estate.
On the planet Earth, in the past timeline, Janemba was gathering the very being that would give him the edge on the Saiyajins. Janemba had spent the entire year searching for the beast and after hearing the little magician's claim of the beasts power Janemba had to find this creature.
Majin Buu, would give Janemba the hate and evil energy he needed to become much stronger than any of the other Saiyajins. Releasing those dead Saiyajins on Planet Vegeta gave him strength and power but it wasn't enough… he needed more and now this Majin Buu creature would give him that.
Janemba understood that he needed the small magician to work his magic in order to revive the beast so Janemba set out to find the small magician. His search had landed him near the Planet Vegeta. Janemba had no intentions of starting a battle but he did want to see what the Saiyajins were doing, he didn't want to have planned so long and hard for nothing.
Janemba opened a portal and reappeared near Trunks's presence. Janemba then felt another force coming towards them and hid out of sight.
Trunks and Ashe were about to enter the gravity room but Trunks felt his father's power level and waited. When Vegeta arrived he took notice of Trunks's appearance and laughed.
"So you finally cut that girly hairstyle off? I'm proud!" Vegeta laughed as Ashe stepped up.
"Actually I cut it and I would appreciate it if you didn't make fun of it!" Ashe growled as Vegeta's eyes narrowed. Ashe refused to back down and only glared at the older man. Trunks quickly jumped in front of Ashe and began to speak.
"Father, what are you doing here?" Trunks asked and Ashe answered.
"Being a nuisance." She retorted and Vegeta, instead of exploding and getting angry, began laughing.
"A true Saiyajin woman, alright… Trunks I just hope you can survive her. She's a keeper." Vegeta grinned and turned to his son. "Listen up boy,there is a lot I need to warn you of." Vegeta thenbegan and he started to explain the Black Star Dragon balls, Baby, Super 17, and the present danger the future timeline is in.
Janemba could only grin and smile as he heard of Baby and the Tuffle scientist. If Janemba could reconstruct Baby in this time, then Baby could take over the Saiyajin's minds and they would serve him! Janemba then vanished in a portal in search of the scientist known to have created Baby.
Vegeta concluded telling the two about the bad and then told them about Goku's level four form.
"What? Super Saiyajin four?" Ashe asked as Trunks frowned and then thought for a moment.
'If Goku has reached the fourth level then have I, I mean I've reached level three but I know that I have a lot more power than that' Trunks thought to himself and then looked up at his father and smiled.
"Wow, level four, huh? Oh well I guess that's something I'll have to work for then." Trunks stated as he stood up and took Ashe's hand and led her away to the side.
"Ashe, I know that this tournament is important to you and everything, but if what my father says is true then I have to go find Baby and stop his creator before he can complete that thing." Trunks stated as Ashe sighed and nodded.
"I'm coming along too… if you leave by yourself then everyone will get suspicious. If I go then everyone will think we're hiding away together." Ashe stated and Trunks sighed and agreed.
"But you have to stay out of trouble… I don't want to lose you." Trunks stated as he kissed her on the cheek. Ashe's face reddened momentarily before she frowned.
"I'm a super Saiyajin… I can handle myself." Ashe reminded him and Trunks sighed and shook his head.
"I'm not saying that its just that…" Trunks was about to continue until he heard a growl and then an 'ouch'. Trunks stepped over into the bushes beside the gravity room and pulled out Kakkarot who was rubbing his arm. Brolly walked out from the bushes and sighed.
"I told you to stop moving." Brolly stated and Kakkarot frowned.
"You pinched me! Trunks didn't even know we were over there and if you didn't pinch me he would have never found out." Kakkarot stated as a little tear threatened to fall. Brolly apologized and Kakkarot cheered up. Trunks cleared his throat and both young boys began to laugh nervously.
"Now I think I know how everyone felt about me and Goten always getting into trouble." Trunks sighed as Brolly continued to laugh nervously and edge his way to escape. Ashe cut him off and lifted him by the collar and turned to Trunks.
"What are we gonna do with these two… I mean we can't let them go, they'll tell someone." Ashe commented and Brolly and Kakkarot shook their heads.
"NO we wouldn't tell anyone, we promise." Kakkarot pleaded and Ashe laughed.
"Yeah, and I am then King of the Saiyajin race." Trunks grinned at Ashe's words and then looked Kakkarot in the eye.
"They're coming with us." Trunks stated.
"What?" Ashe, Brolly, and Kakkarot all chorused together. Trunks sighed and began again as Vegeta arrived to see what the commotion was all about.
"If we let them stay they will tell everyone about this, then the tournament will most likely be called off and all of those Saiyajins that have been training night and day will have done it for nothing. Another point is that these two know the fusion dance and so having two very powerful Super Saiyajins around ain't a bad thing. Plus if we don't take them someone will force them to tell and then Goten will try to come and that may leave the planet unprotected." Trunks explained and Ashe nodded in agreement.
"I figured this was the sort of action you would take and so I brought these for you." Vegeta tossed three capsules into Trunks's hand. "Remember how you first got here in that ship?" Vegeta asked and Trunks nodded. "Well that's the fuel for the ship. Three tanks full… though I doubt you can even use up half of one, Bulma told me to give them all to you." Vegeta stated and Trunks nodded.
"I'm going back now to help with the situation in our time… don't allow Baby to come into being or else." Vegeta warned as he blasted off back towards the palace. Trunks went to his room hastily and brought back another capsule. He opened it and a car sized ship appeared.
"It can hold a maximum of six, but we're only taking four." Trunks grinned as he rubbed the side of the space ship and grinned even wideras he began to load fuel into it. "Brolly tell your parents that you're coming with me and Ashe to go training out in space, Kakkarot I'll talk to Phalli. Ashe tell your parents the same. We will meet back here around the same time tomorrow. I shall gather you all together and then we'll leave here and go to a more private and secluded area to take off from. We'll board the ship then and get started. Remember talk only to you're parents no one else." Trunks warned. Kakkarot and Brolly nodded and then looked at Trunks expectantly. "What?"
"Can we train with you two?" Brolly asked as Kakkarot nodded happily. Trunks looked to Ashe who shrugged and nodded herself.
"Sure come on." Trunks opened his gravity room and once the other three stepped in he closed the door behind him.
Janemba left the planet immediately in hopes of finding project baby before the Saiyajins left to destroy it.
"All I must do is find the hate force of one of the Truffles and it will be done! Those Saiyajins will be nothing but slaves for my bidding! With the aid of Majin Buu, not even Gotenks can defeat me!" Janemba grinned darkly to himself as he drifted through realms searching for the Tuffle scientist.
The Next Day:
Goten, Asuka, and Nelis were visiting Prince Vegeta in hopes of training with him but Radditz and Lena had already beat them to it and Prince Vegeta refused Goten and Asuka's help due to their make out session that occurred only moments into their last session together.
Goten and Asuka began to leave with Nelis, but one of the guards insisted that the prince wanted to speak with Nelis.
"Ohh! Prince Vegeta and Nelis?" Asuka asked as she grinned and continued, "My next queen… I do hope you won't forget about us little people." Asuka teased as Nelis turned red from embarrassment and some anger.
"Shut up, Asuka… I didn't do this to you when you started dating Goten!" Nelis growled as Asuka's eyes widened.
"So you and the prince are dating?" Asuka asked and Nelis clamped both hands over her mouth and shook her head vehemently. Asuka laughed and congratulated her friend as Goten looked confused.
"Asuka, what is going on? Nelis are you and Prince Veggie in love?" Goten asked as Asuka pinched his arm and grinned.
"Nope, but they are dating." Asuka stated as Nelis sighed and agreed with the last statement. Goten laughed a little then even harder.
"What's so darn funny?" Nelis asked now fully angry. Goten stopped and grinned as he wiped his eyes.
"In a way you're going to become Trunks's step mother!" Goten burst into a fit of giggles as he fought to keep down the louder laughter. Asuka sighed and knocked Goten up side the head.
"You're going to be nearly ten years older than your step mother." Asuka countered. Goten stopped laughing and then sighed as he realized her words to be true.
"Oh well…" Goten then pulled Asuka along with him. Asuka turned back to Nelis and gave her a 'thumbs up'.
"Good luck with the prince!" Asuka called out as she disappeared around a corner. Nelis turned red as the guard several yards behind her heard the whole thing.
"Um, lets get going shall we?" Nelis asked nervously as the guard saluted and replied.
"Yes, Princess Nelis." He turned and immediately began leading Nelis to the prince. Nelis, on the other hand, hadn't followed but just stared off into space as her cheeks grew redder from the embarrassment.
The guard led the young woman into the princes chambers where Prince Vegeta awaited as he looked out his window. He had obviously left his training chamber and was awaiting Nelis's arrival.
"Hello, Vegeta." Nelis stated with a small wave of her hand as the prince smirked and turned to her.
"I heard those fools down there bothering you… are you okay woman?" He asked as Nelis smiled as her cheeks reddened. She nodded and moved closer.
"Will we be training together today?" She asked but Prince Vegeta shook his head.
"Actually I wanted to have some alone time with you in another way. Nelis would you like to have dinner with me tonight, just us and no one else?" Prince Vegeta asked as Nelis turned a brighter shade of red and agreed.
"I would love to my prince."
Trunks, Ashe, Brolly and Kakkarot had all tricked the adults into believing they were going to a secluded spot to train. Trunks had the space-time machine up and operational while Ashe was finishing up packing all of their supplies and capsulizing them. Brolly and Kakkarot were off chasing after one another trying to see who was the fastest.
Trunks shut down the machine and then capsulized it while he turned to Ashe.
"Ashe, go get those two before they draw too much attention to us." Ashe followed her loves order and yanked the two boys from the sky and pulled them towards Trunks.
"You two are going to get us caught!" Ashe growled and Brolly laughed.
"You just want to get away with Trunks and be alone!" Brolly grinned and Ashe pulled at his arm a little harder causing him to stop talking.
"One more time and it will be your last!" Ashe shouted and then Trunks laughed.
"Come on Ashe don't kill them too soon." Trunks stated as he lifted into the air as Ashe let the two children go and followed Trunks. Kakkarot and Brolly regained themselves and blasted off after the two.
"Trunks!" Kakkarot called out as Trunks slowed up a little to allow the boy to catch up with.
"What is it Kakkarot?" Trunks asked as the air whipped across their faces as they neared their destination.
"I was wondering if you had space suits just in case we had to be in space. I don't think I can breathe without air." Kakkarot stated and Trunks turned to him and raised a brow.
"Did you lose brain cells or something? I don't think anything can breathe without air." Trunks said as Kakkarot turned red and frowned.
"NO! I didn't mean it like that I meant what if we need to fight in space or something like that?" Kakkarot started as Trunks waved him off.
"I'll handle it if it comes to that but I highly doubt something like that will happen." Trunks grinned as he flew off leaving the three of them behind. Ashe blasted off faster after him as Brolly stuck his tongue out at Kakkarot before taunting.
"And I am the faster one." Brolly then blasted off after Trunks and Ashe as Kakkarot frowned and followed.
As Trunks began to slow down he descended and opened up the capsule containing the space-time machine and then opened another capsule.
"Ashe, Kakkarot, Brolly, we're going in space so I decided to snag a few of these from our dear Prince Vegeta and his soldiers. I present to you all the new and improved Saiyajin Battle armor." Trunks pulled out a black jumpsuit from his uncapsulized case and showed it to the three.
"Cool! It has its own armor too?" Kakkarot asked as Trunks pulled out a white chest armor plate. (AN- What Vegeta was wearing when he first came to Earth but without the shoulders… so basically it's a black version of what Goku and Gohan was wearing in the time chamber during Cell Saga.)
In moments Kakkarot and Brolly took off to hide behind some bushes to change into their new gear while Ashe and Trunks stayed near the ship. Ashe winked at Trunks and then looked over to where Kakkarot and Brolly went before smirking evilly.
"What's that response for?" Trunks asked as Ashe grinned as she walked behind the ship and began to take her top off. Trunks immediately turned around and continued. "Ashe, what are you doing?"
"Don't you wanna watch?" Ashe asked as Trunks's face turned red. It was time's like this where he wished he still had his long hair instead of the shortened spikes he know had. At least with his long hair he could cover his face.
"Ashe, Kakkarot and Brolly could come back at anytime." Trunks warned and Ashe laughed.
"From all the dirty little stories I've heard about you from Goten, I thought you would take advantage of this moment?" Ashe asked and Trunks turned around and frowned.
"What has Goten told you?" Trunks questioned as he caught a glimpse of Ashe's bare back but couldn't see anything lower than her waist due to the ship's interference.
"Goten, told me that during your time over in Rouge city you were quite the ladies man." Ashe turned to Trunks and raised a brow before continuing.
"I heard of all of the things you would do with those other girls." Ashe's tone sounded bitter and harsh. "he also told me how some of those girls weren't even your girlfriend… just girls you decided to play with." Ashe stated as she held up her short pink skirt a flipped it over towards Trunks's direction. He unconsciously caught it and shook his head.
"Ashe, what's wrong?" Trunks asked the dreaded question and that's when Ashe turned fully towards him. She was angry and Trunks was already dreading the next few moments.
Ashe ignored the fact that she was completely nude and leaned over the ship and shouted at Trunks.
"We've been dating for nearly a month and a half and you have yet to even attempt to make a move on me. Hell we barely kiss! Asuka told me that she and Goten nearly slept with each other the second day they met. Radditz and Lena are constantly on each other, Nelis and Prince Vegeta are more physical then we are and they try to keep their relationship a secret!" Ashe growled and then continued, "Am I that repulsive!" Ashe nearly whispered as she began to cover herself with her arms and shook her head as her tears dripped all over her arms and chest.
"Ashe, listen please don't act like this." Trunks stated but Ashe shook her head and put the Saiyajin armor on in a hurry. Trunks was about to continue but Kakkarot and Brolly blasted into view and began to argue.
"No I am!" Kakkarot shouted but Brolly ignored him and continued shouting the same. Trunks turned back to Ashe whose head was down and she was fully dressed in the black jumpsuit and white armor. Trunks reached out to touch her but Ashe swatted his hand away immediately. With a sigh Trunks turned to the boys and called them over.
"Time to go everyone." Trunks announced as the group took their seats and Trunks began the lift off sequence. He turned to his right and glanced at Ashe who was still very upset and Trunks wished that he could say something or do something to make her feel better but he knew that if he tried anything Brolly or Kakkarot would comment on it or interrupt him.
In a matter of seconds Trunks, Ashe, Brolly and Kakkarot were in space and heading towards the coordinates his father gave to him before he returned to the present.
'As soon as this is all over, I can sort this out with Ashe… I wish I could comfort her but she would most likely brush me away again.' Trunks thought as he stole side glances at the girl.
Brolly had felt the negative vibe coming from the older couple and kept quiet. Kakkarot noticed the same thing and decided that speaking wouldn't be such a bright idea. So, in silence, the four Saiyajins traveled through space to find what was thought to be the remains of the Truffle people and stop the mad scientist from creating Baby.
The entire trip had been a quiet one. No one had said a thing since they had set out and that had nearly been four hours ago. Trunks looked at the young lady once more and sighed.
"Ashe?" Trunks whispered but she didn't respond. "Ashe?" Trunks spoke again and this time the young lady turned her head slightly and looked at him. Trunks froze as he saw the anger and hatred she had for him in her eyes and dropped the subject altogether. He turned back to directing the ship and promised himself not to speak anymore.
In the back two seats Kakkarot and Brolly were staring at each other and both decided that going to sleep would be best just incase the two began arguing. Neither Brolly nor Kakkarot wanted to witness that so both children tried their best to drift off to dream land.
The next day on Planet Vegeta, Goten and Asuka were inside of Trunks's gravity chamber training for the upcoming tournament. Goten was pumped about the tournament because he wanted Asuka to win and with all the training she was doing, she would. Goten knew Ashe was stronger than Asuka but he doubted that they would train as hard as the two of them have been training for the past month and with the tournament only a few weeks away Goten was quite confident in Asuka.
Radditz and Lena entered the room and the four of them decided to have a four way sparring match under the maximum gravity of five thousand times the planets natural gravity.
Else where on the Planet Prince Vegeta and Nelis were training as well but chose to do so under less stressful conditions, for Nelis's sake. The entire planet seemed to be in training for the upcoming tournament that promised to be the most spectacular event in Saiyajin history.
Bardock and King Vegeta were readying the tournament battle site for the upcoming day. The two men had received aid from their future sons on how to design the battle stage so that it could withstand the harsh environment that it would soon be under. Mostly, though Bulma did all of the tweaks and directing of the platform's creation, she had left most of the blue prints before she and their two sons left, due to the fact that their timeline had received some sort of problem. Regardless, the construction of the ring had continued.
King Vegeta had also entered himself into the tournament and was anxious to begin but the ring and the communication systems that would broadcast the event all over the planet were not yet operational. Hence the reason it would take another two weeks for the tournament to begin.
"So Bardock will you be entering as well?" King Vegeta asked and Bardock merely nodded.
"Of course my king." Bardock stated as King Vegeta grinned.
"Yes, this will be the most auspicious event our people have ever witnessed! I can't wait!" King Vegeta grinned but Bardock frowned.
"If you are entering as well my King, what if someone defeats you? I mean Brolly and my son are even beyond us now, what if you must face one of them in battle and lose? The people will challenge your thrown won't they?" Bardock asked and King Vegeta shook his head.
"Bardock, none of that matters, if I lose to anyone that person must first fight my son for the right to the thrown and then they must fight Trunks, my grandson. The chance of anyone on this planet defeating me and my son is unlikely, but defeating Trunks is impossible." King Vegeta stated, "And besides if that individual gets to Trunks and loses I doubt he will want to be king and so he will just give that responsibility back to me." King Vegeta reasoned as Bardock nodded.
"It is time that I go and retrieve the young Namek, Nail. He has promised to be a guardian for our planet. I will return so." Bardock stated and instantly vanished.
"Yes, this will be the most glorious events of all of Saiyajin history!" King Vegeta grinned as construction continued.
"Yes, the Tuffles are on this planet! I have found them! Now those Saiyajins will pay Baby will be mine!" Janemba grinned as he descended onto a darkened planet light years away from the new Planet Vegeta.
"Now what was that doctor's name?" Janemba said aloud as he landed on the desolate planet. "Oh yes, they called him Dr. Myuu." Janemba laughed as he blasted off in search of the particular doctor.
