Chapter Two
NOW: GOKU'S HOUSE
"He should be showing up two days from now, in the mountains not far from the city." said Goku with a short, quick nod, glancing to the other fighters. Majin Zaku was coming, and they had two days to train. Silence. "How powerful is he?" asked Vegeta, against the silence. "Dai Kaio believes he is about three times as strong as Buu, the most powerful foe we've ever faced. His power level is unimaginable." Vegeta gulped, his Saiyan confidence suddenly disappearing. "Kakarot, do not worry," said Vegeta, as much to himself as to Goku. "We'll find his weak spot, and kill him." "Well, that's just the problem," said Goku with a grimace. "Dai Kaio says he has the ability to genetically evolve to any weakness discovered by his opponents. A bonus added on by his creators."
Vegeta was dumbstruck. He racked his brain, looking for an answer. "I know what to do. Me and Kakarot have to fuse again, to become Gogeta." Gohan looked at Goku and Vegeta. Each of them were at least sixty years old, but they were still immensely powerful. "Are you guys sure you're okay to fight? I mean you are…" Gohan was cut off by Vegeta. "We may be old, but Gogeta is the only one who can beat this Majin…this Majin Zaku. And if you want to test that out, feel free to fight me."
"Vegeta-sama…" said Gohan. "…I didn't mean to insult you. I'm just saying, my little brother and Trunks could fuse to become Gotenks, and if they could figure out how to control Gotenks' temper, they might even be able to surpass you guys, as Gogeta." Vegeta thought for a few seconds. Before he could speak, Goku did. "We should definitely fuse, and so should Goten and Trunks. This Majin Zaku is unimaginably powerful. Me and you, Vegeta, as Gogeta, could start out the fight, and if we need help, Goten and Trunks, as Gotenks, will come. Combine the two ideas, see what I mean?" There was silence at the table yet again, and in the playroom, Boxers gave the scoop to Goketsu and Pan. Two days to train.
NOW: THE GRAVITY DOME
"C'mon, Vegeta, is that all you got?" asked Goku, seconds after he had dodged Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta's Galick Gun. "If we want to make Gogeta powerful enough to beat Majin Zaku, you have to achieve Super Saiyan 3. It WILL make Gogeta a million times stronger." Vegeta laughed as sweat poured from his face. They stood in the Gravity Chamber, going 120x strong, and Goku hadn't even broke a sweat. HE was unimaginably powerful, so if he was scared of Majin Zaku…
"I'm not done yet, Kakarot," said Vegeta. "Final Flash!" Vegeta fired a powerful Final Flash at Goku, and Goku yelled, "Kamehameha x100!" to meet Vegeta's attack. The two blasts of ki met in the center of the chamber, exploding all over the place. Vegeta charged at Goku, and Goku grabbed his clenched fist in midair, as he attempted to punch Goku, flipping him onto his back. Vegeta groaned. "We've been training for hours, Kakarot…" Goku kicked Vegeta in the face. "Where's that Saiyan Pride you always talk about?" Vegeta stood up, clenching his fists. "Don't you lecture me about that, Kakarot. Bullet Galick Gun!" Vegeta got into the Galick Gun position, using his new attack, and blasted a series of Galick Gun bursts. Goku blocked them one by one. "You're on the way to going Super Saiyan 3, Vegeta. I can tell."
"So you think WE need to train also?" asked Boxers as he walked down the school hallway with Pan and Goketsu. "Yeah," said Goketsu. "We can help my dad, and your dad, Boxers, and probably yours too, Pan. And of course, Grandpa Goku and Great Uncle Vegeta." Goketsu's friends nodded. "How will we get out of school?" Pan asked. "We can all leave sick…" said Boxers. "…and then meet in the City Gravity Chamber to train." Goketsu nodded. "OK," said Pan.
And so they did. It seemed Goketsu had developed a serious case of the common cold, Boxers a stomach virus, and Pan some strep throat. When Goketsu's mother, a human named Kiku, picked him up, Goketsu told Kiku he was going to the library, to pick up some books if he was out of school tomorrow as well. Boxers and Pan told the same story to their parents, and soon they were at the front of the gravity chamber.
