We are going to test your fighting abilities, if you are true Saiyans, we can have a conversation on reprieving you kids for intruding our planet." the royal counselor informed the boys as he lead them in the arena. It was a spacious plain hall. King Vegeta had already taken his seat to watch the fight.
The sovereign of the Saiyan race made a gesture with his hand, and a door opened.
A Saiyan in a white battle armor and spiky black hair entered the room.
It was Zorn a member of the Saiyan elite and confident to the planet's ruler, the same man who was pleading with the king on not handing prince Vegeta over to Frieza.
„Meet Zorn little brats! He's one of my best fighters and will tear you apart in a second!", King Vegeta announced. „And because you are little pathetic aliens you're allowed to battle him as a team.", he went on.
„Are you ready Trunks?", Goten whispered and glance at his friend.
Trunks stand there starring at his grandfather, then he looked over at Zorn and his eyes narrowed.
He reached out with his arm and drew Goten aside.
„I'm taking care of this Goten,- alone!", the lavender haired boy demanded.
„But Trunks.."
„Oh shush will you? I got something to prove here Goten, when we find your grandfather you can take your turn!", Trunks hissed at his best friend.
Goten shot his friend a brief glare but then slapped him on the back „Ok, but go easy on him yeah?", he smirked.
„Don't worry", Trunks grinned and walked over to face his opponent. „I'm doing this alone!", the young boy informed him and the king.
Zorn peered down at his little opponent and roared with laughter :" You wanna fight me alone kid? Hehe look at you wannabe Saiyan no tail light hair pathetic, I'll send you back to what ever ridiculous planet you came from!", Zorn yelled and charged towards Trunks.
Trunks easily dodged all of his punches even with his arms crossed.
„Don't go easy on me, come on silly", Trunks provoked the Saiyan elite.
As Zorn realized this battle wasn't going to be as easy as he thought it would be he quickly fired a ki-blast at Trunks. Trunks was able to block it by crossing his arms over his face, but this gave Zorn time to reach out at him and grab him on both oh his shoulders. He clenched his hands in an attempt to break to boys shuolderblades.
„Hehe what you gonna do now? I'm not letting you go!", he asked the boy.
Trunks just smirked in response."I'll just go super!" he let out a scream and enveloped in golden energy. Zorn was pushed back by the wave of energy that was released. Trunks' hair turned golden and spiked.
The digits on King Vegeta's scouter were changing immensely fast as Trunks power level went through the roof
„Wha- What? That's impossible! Is he... a Super-Saiyan? The transformation to the legendary warrior of our race is reserved for the royal family! No one managed this before and this little kid achieves it without any effort?", The baffled King exclaimed.
Trunks charged towardy Zorn landing several punches into his stomach and finnished him off with an uppercut.
„Defeated by a light haired tailless pathetic wannabe-saiyan, bag your face!", Trunks smirked as kicked some dust in Zorn's face.
„You did it Trunks!", Goten cheered and ran over to high five with his friend.
„Easy shmeezy!", Trunks said and high fived with Goten.
King Vegeta was still sitting on the sideline not able to move from the shock. One of his best fighters had just been knocked out by a little kid, a kid that was a Supersaiyan.
But that wasn't the only thing that had caught his attention, it was the kid's fighting technique it was somewhat similar to his own's, and the way the boy was smirking and moving reminded him of his son.
He shook his head to dismiss this ridiculous thought and stood up.
„Not bad kid, now come join me to tell me your story", the Saiyan King snorted trying to sound unimpressed and hide that he was actually terrified to the max by the child's transformation.
King Vegeta, Goten and Trunks walked down the hallway and entered a small room.
„Leave us alone!", the King ordered the two guards to who hastily left the room.
The Saiyan ruler took a seat and ordered the boys to do so opposite of him
„Now that we're alone, tell me your story, why are you here, where are you from, and how did you little brat achieve the Supersaiyan level?", the King demanded to know.
„Well, it's pretty hard to explain, but I'm prince Vegeta's son.", Trunks started but was cut off.
„My sons doesn't have a child, and he's on an assignment far away so stop lying to me bantling!"
„Let me show you", Trunks stood up and tossed the Capsule that held the timemachiene.
„See this is a timemachiene my mother made. We come from the future, and Vegeta is my father or what do you think why could I go Super-Saiyan?", Trunks stated.
After answering some questions only someone who knew Vegeta very well could know the Saiyan King was finally convinced.
„So it's true you're my grandson. That's great that means my revolt against Frieza will be a success and we all survive, otherwise you wouldn't exist!" King Vegeta concluded.
„I'm afraid that's not what happened...", Trunks said with a cracking voice.
„That's nonsense who's your mother then?"
„She's from earth we live there", Trunks muttered and shifted a little closer to Goten for support.
„Yeah it's nice there!", Goten stated.
„So you're a human-saiyan hybrid? What was my son thinking, he's from a royal bloodline and begets kids with a stupid human? A shame!", the furious King snorted.
„Hey don't talk about my mother like that! She's the nicest, smartest and richest woman in the world and without her the world maybe wouldn't even exist anymore, no dragon-radar, no timemachiend, no gravity-room and if she wasn't such a great supplier my father wouldn't have the time to train that much and become so strong that he ascended the Super-Saiyan form!", Trunks yelled angrily.
The King's eyes narrowed dangerously. He didn't know how to react. No one talked like that to the king of all Saiyans, but he could also see his son in Trunks rage and did just hear that Prince Vegeta ascended the Super-Saiyan fform so he couldn't refuse to smirk.
„Ok kid, now tell ma what happened!", he demanded.
„Well I don't know all the details, but one night I had a nightmare and slept in my parents bed", Trunks glanced at Goten to see his reaction, he didn't feel comfortable to admit that he sometimes slept in his parents bed because he was always all mature and the cool one of the two of them and Goten was supposed to be the baby. However Goten didn't seem to mind, maybe because he did that too.
„And they thought I was already asleep so they started talking... talking about my father's past, and it seems like you revolted against Frieza and he killed you..." Trunks clenched his fists „And then he destroyed the whole planet which resulted in he Saiyan genocide.", Trunks said and studied his grandfather's reaction.
He supposed him to be shocked or scared, but his face was completely emotionless.
„Then we'll have to do better this time." the monarch muttered. „And with two Super-saiyans on our side we can't lose right?", he went on.
„But we still have to be careful" Trunks interjected.
„Trunks isn't it? Are you ready to help the Saiyans to separate from Frieza's empire and reclaim your family's rightful throne over our people? This is perfect we will bring that tyrant down! And I almost had second thoughts on not killing Brolly because he might have achieved the Super-Saiyan level and be a help against Frieza, and now my grandson, a member of the royal family, an eight year old Supersaiyan comes along.
….
Miles away on Fieza's spaceship Zarbon entered his ruler's chamber.
„Lord Frieza I need to talk to you immediately.", the green alien demanded.
„What is it Zarbon?", the tyrant inquired.
„We just received word that a group of low class Saiyans managed to conquer planet Kanassa. A mission that is even considered difficult by elite warriors."
Frieza stood up from his hoover chair and started walking around the room. „Send them on another assignment to distract them and then get out Zarbon!", he yelled. The green being quicklly left the chamber.
„Their power increases so fast, now they're no threat but who knows, I might have to destroy them", the alien muttered.
…..
Trunks and Goten were lying in the bed in the room they were assigned by the king. It was very cold and the beds were quite hard and uncomfortable.
They should get some sleep and the next day they were supposed to help plotting against Frieza
„Hey Trunks, do you already have something in mind we can come up with tomorrow when planning the attack?", Goten asked with a soft voice.
Trunks turned to his friend and propped himself up on his elbows.
„Nope, frankly I don't know much about that whole stuff either, just that everyone was killed."
„Uh oh, do you think we can make it then?", Goten asked feeling a little scared.
„Sure! My mother told me when Mirai-Trunks came to our time he easily defeated him, and we are just as strong, and as Gotenks we're even stronger son don't worry Goten!", Trunks comforted his friend.
„You're right together we're invincible!", Goten piped.
„Yes we're the best team ever! And now we should get some sleep Goten", Trunks answered and shifted closer to his friend so he could share his favorite cuddly blanket with him he had of course packed.
As he drifted off to sleep he tried to recall some details he heard when his father told his mother about his past, but he was so tired he fell asleep soon
