Chapter 9 The IW Universe History Part 2

(Forgot to mention in last chapter, this is scarred Goten's past)

A few months after Goten befriended Zach, He and his family as well as all the Z warriors were at Capsule Corp celebrating Trunks's tenth birthday. "Hey Goten" Krillin greeted Goten who was sitting near the Capsule Corp entrance, "what are you doing over here? Aren't you enjoying the party?". "Yeah I'm fine Krillin I'm just waiting for a friend of mine I invited" Goten said with a cheerful smile. "A friend?" Krillin asked before his confused face morphed into a snarky, sly one, "you mean girlfriend?". "No!" Goten yelled defiantly. "Hey dude" Trunks said walking towards Krillin and Goten, "what's this I'm hearing about you having a girlfriend?" Trunks teased. "It's not my girl-!" Goten stopped as there was suddenly a loud boom in the distance. Everyone turned around to see what looked like a ufo shooting into the sky. When the object had gone as high as the tallest building in the city it suddenly started zooming towards Capsule Corp. the craft then launched two missiles ahead of itself which shot to the party area. The projectiles then suddenly stopped just before hitting the ground, they reposition themselves pointing upward and then land in a clearing. After the jets die down, projectors come out of the missiles's sides and they made a holographic landing pad. The saucer came to rest on the pad and a door opened. The group was surprised and apprehensive about this new arrival. "Uh mom did you organize an alien themed air show for my birthday cause if so pretty lame" Trunks said rudely. "No I have no idea what or who this is?!" Bulma replied with confusion and slight fear. Then out of the mysterious vessel came out Zach with a huge grin on his face. "You all enjoy that!" Zach yelled with excitement, "this capsule corp? I thought I may have overshot the accelerator a little". "You flew that thing?!" Bulma yelled in shock. "Hell yeah I did, me and my pal Goten built this to test out my new exhaust less engine and so we can pretend to be aliens! Kinda fitting considering his heritage" Zach explained. "Goten?" Trunks asked confused. "Do you always have to make such a big entrance?" Goten commented walking over, "last time you sang the first few verses of the H.M.S Pinafore". "Oh you like it when I sing" Zach teased playfully. "Hee hee yeah I do, glad you could make it" Goten lamented. "Goten who is this?" Gohan asked. "Is this the new friend you were talking about?" Krillin asked. "New friend!?" Trunks exclaimed very confused. "Nice to meet you all" Zach addressed the group, "Goten has told me a lot about you guys, Vegeta please don't hurt me". "No promises" Vegeta said with a scowl. "What about me?" Xavier asked coolly. "I know what you are" Zach said a air of malice in his voice. "Well what has he told you about me?" Trunks marched up with a smirk of cockiness. "Oh yeah your the grape colored hair glory hogger that Goten likes to play and spar with" Zach jokingly responds. Trunks however took offense to the comment. "Ha ha Zach your a riot!" Goten laughed obliviously. The party went on with most of the Z warriors getting used to Zach and vice versa. However Trunks leaned on a wall separated from everyone else brooding. "Why is Goten friends with some weird nerd, and how come he told him a grape haired glory hogger?!" Trunks thought angrily. Sometime later in the evening the party wrapping up Goten and Zach were sitting near the capsule corp gates chatting. "So do you think everyone likes me aside from you know who?" Zach asked. "Oh yeah everyone liked you, my mom even said she liked that I was friends with a super genius, she's thinking you can help me with my studies!" Goten said joyfully. Zach looked up and saw a large circular ship with a logo saying "Capsule Corp Gravity". "Hey is that Vegeta's gravity chamber over there?!" Zach asked excitedly. "Yeah I wish Vegeta let me train in there with him and Trunks.." Goten lamented sadly. "Well I don't know about you training with them but I'm gonna make you a gravity chamber!". "Really?!" Goten exclaimed ecstatic. "Of course!" Zach announced confidently "I know how much you wanna get stronger and fight alongside your father and Trunks but neither of them is taking the time to train you, I obviously can't spar with you, you cream me in two seconds, but I can construct the tools you can use, just give me a few minutes to scan and gather the skimatics for the chamber and I'll see if I can't duplicate and improve it!". "You don't need to do that, you've already done so much for me" Goten said. "It's ok I'm your friend and I like doing stuff for you, besides you've had a pretty shitty life so let me spoil you a little" Zach said waving off his friends concerns like they were paper. "Your the best friend ever Zach!" Goten shouted happily hugging Zach into a death grip. "ahh I can't gag breath Goten gag" Zach said between gags. "Oops sorry" Goten sheepishly apologized. "Don't worry about-" Zach was interrupted by a loud voice. "Best friend?!" Trunks yelled furiously. Goten and Zach looked on startled and scared. "Trunks! I didn't think-" Goten tried to explain before Trunks cut him off. "Yeah you didn't think, you didn't think that I wouldn't notice that you replaced me as your best friend with some wimpy nerd!" "Woah look bud I have no-" Zach tried to reason with Trunks only to be cut off himself. "Save it!" Trunks shouted before turning back to Goten, "I thought your stupidity and obliviousness was amusing or tolerable but not anymore, you really are nothing but a retarded piece of shit!" Goten began to cry tears forming in his eyes, "no trunks please don-" Goten sobbed before Trunks his unopened present for him back at Goten. "This friendship is over" Trunks declared darkly before stomping back towards the party. Goten curled up into a ball crying his heart shattered that the person he once fought Majin Buu with now hated him. Zach went over to comfort Goten. "Hey cheer up pal, maybe Trunks will come around and forgive you" Zach said optimistically. Goten lifted his head tears streaming down his face looking back at the party, "I hope your right".

Two years later

Goten tried many times to make up with Trunks but the irate boy wouldn't hear any of it and just told Goten off or ignored him until he eventually left. This left Goten devastated, especially when word got around and Xavier began taunting him with it adding it to his repertoire of abusive acts and tricks. Luckily his friendship with Zach remained and continued to thrive. The two pressed on to find some dirt on Xavier but the bastard was unfortunately very good at covering his tracks. This didn't stop them though from having good times together. Zach eventually built Goten is own gravity chamber and thanks to it Goten could now reach super saiyan three without needing to fuse with Trunks.

At the son family house outside.

Goten's parents had gone out again. Xavier was left with him again but strangely just wandered off somewhere not bothering Goten. He had been doing that for a few years now with increasing frequency. Goten though curious didn't complain too much as this gave him time to hang out with Zach or train in his gravity chamber which he kept hidden in a capsule whenever everyone was home, not to mention it stopped Xavier's abuse for awhile though Goten couldn't shake the feeling that his demonic twin brother was up to something terrible. "Hey!" Zach greeted Goten having used his tele-porter to teleport to Goten's house. "Oh hey Goten said over by his gravity chamber with some tools beside him, "your just in time the flux compassitor needs realigning and some walls are dented". "Wonder how that could've happened?" Zach said sarcastically laughed . "Oh by the way don't forget we...Zach suddenly fainted. "Zach wha..." Goten suddenly succumbed to the same mysterious force which was revealed to be a strange spiky black ball releasing some kind of knock out gas. Xavier then walked over wearing a gas mask picking up the two unconscious boys. Sometime later Zach and Goten woke up in a strange room. "Uh my head, what happened?" Goten asked dazed and confused. "Uhh Goten you might want to take a look at this" Zach said in a stunned tone looking out a window. Goten looked out and saw what appeared to be many stars flying past them. "Wha what is this?!" Goten said panicking. " I think we're in space and judging my the zooming stars we're traveling light speed" Zach deduced. "How did we get here?!" Goten asked fearfully. They then noticed the capsule corp logo on the ceiling. "Well we're in one of Bulma's spaceships so whoever put us on this trip is from Earth, I doubt Bulma did this though" Zach surmised. Suddenly a door opened, out of it came chains that wrapped around Goten and Zach before they could react. Stepping out of the door was none other than Xavier holding the end of the chains and with his usual blank expression he said, "Ready to meet the boss?".
