Trunks and Goten snuck quietly through the hallways; however, no one was there to see them. The halls were deserted. "This is kinda creepy." Trunks said looking around. "So where did we land before?"
"Uh, I think it was right here." Goten said looking around.
Trunks looked around too, "Well where is it?"
"Um…" Goten scratched the back of his head, "I don't know."
Trunks crossed his arms and thought for a moment. He could feel the energies of Frieza and his men just a little ways from here. "Hey Goten. Do ya think Frieza got it?"
He black haired boy looked up blankly. "Ya think so?"
"Only one way to find out." The two demi saiyajins bolted off to the room the power was coming from.
Outside the large doors Goten and Trunk where trying to peek underneath the door. "I can't see anything!"
"We gotta just go in." Trunks said standing up and crossing his arms.
"But what if it's not with Frieza?" Goten said standing as well.
"Where else would it be." Trunks said opening the huge doors.
Inside was a long and wide room with a whole army of different creatures lined up around its edges. In the back of the room, right across from the door was a floating throne, with Frieza lounging lazily in it, his hands holding the Time Travel machine.
As soon as the two opened the door, all eyes where on them. Goten, however failed to notice this and just smiled happily and ran into the room. "Look Trunks, there it is!"
"Oh, my. Are you lost little boys?" Frieza's strange voice drifted across the silent room. Although he had been surprised by the sudden entry of the children, he assumed their power was too low for the scouters to pick up.
"Yeah, sorta!" Goten laughed while rubbing the back of his head, "Anyway we kinda need that thing you have back, see we dropped it…"
Frieza smirked coldly at the young saiyajin, he also motioned to one of his followers to grab the boy, "Do you know that this is my planet? You're trespassing. That's punishable by death."
"Huh?" Goten's eyes widened and his head tilted curiously, "How can you own a whole planet?"
Trunks, who was still in the doorway, saw the movement and ran over to this friend's aid. Of course he moved across the room so fast most everyone didn't even see.
The follower charged with grabbing Goten, a big headed purple creature named Appule, was walking over to catch the boy, he stopped however when another child appeared in front of him.
"Hey what do you think you're doing?" The purple haired boy said, standing in front of the long headed alien.
Appule was so surprised to have the kid appear like that that he didn't respond. Trunks then turned to look at Frieza, crossing his arms and glaring, "What do ya mean 'punishable by death'? Are you crazy? Just give us back our machine and no one gets hurt."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vegeta had looked up like all the rest of the room's occupants when the door swung open. Many of them thought it was a late comer, but Vegeta knew no one would be that daring. He didn't know what to expect, as his scouter showed nothing, but what he didn't expect to see was the boy he had seen earlier come bounding into the room and straight up to Frieza.
Nappa and Raditz also noticed the Saiyajin features the boy had. However, Vegeta was starting to doubt his own assumptions.
Vegeta noted the boy didn't have a tail, had paler milky skin, and seemed to have a carefree and happy air about him, very much unlike the usual Saiyajin personalities. The Saiyajin Prince clenched his teeth; the boy obviously had no idea where he was.
Frieza spoke softly to the boy, as if the boy's presence hadn't angered him, which was true but also one of the tyrant's strengths. Frieza didn't get angry often; either because everyone was too afraid to do anything to displease him, or the fact that anything that angered him he soon destroyed.
Frieza told the boy the punishment for being on this planet without his permission, but the boy either didn't understand, or was a fool. Vegeta saw the creature called Appule approach the boy, probably to knock him out and drag him over so Frieza could torture and kill the defenseless young one. Vegeta almost felt sorry for the young Saiyajin look alike, but those feeling soon turned to shock as the other child he had seen appeared seemingly out of nowhere and right in front of Applue.
This boy looked vastly different from the other, he had light, almost grayish purple hair and blue eyes, and his skin was a darker tan. This boy obviously doesn't know where he is either, Vegeta thought, as the first thing the boy did was insult and threaten the powerful lizard tyrant.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frieza, who had been surprised at the boy's speed, blinked a few times before bursting into laughter.
This of course made Trunks growl and shout, "Hey, what's so funny?"
"Yeah, was there a joke or something?" Goten said, still having not realized that Frieza had wanted to kill him.
"Oh, was that a threat? How cute, you two must not realize who you're speaking to." Frieza motioned to Appule to attack, which broke him out of his shocked stupor.
Appule pulled back for a punch, he then sent it flying at Trunks' head, intent on teaching the child a lesson and get in good favor of his master. However, Trunks brushed his punch away like he would a fly, the force of that simple gesture sent Appule sprawling on the ground and sliding a few meters away.
"I think I do." Trunks said confidently.
Goten, who was still a bit behind in this turned to looked at the brushed aside alien. "Hey, what cha do that for?"
"Geez Goten, aren't you paying attention?" Trunks said. "Frieza told that guy to attack us."
Goten, finally aware, turned and glared at Frieza and waved his arms a bit, "Hey that's not very nice!"
Frieza however wasn't paying attention to Goten, but rather looking at the boy who had deflected the punch so easily.
"Ready to give up now?" Trunks folded his arms again, and smirked, "Me and Goten are one of the strongest beings in the universe. So you can either give up are we can kick you around a bit."
Frieza ignored the specific way the statement was spoken, and merely chuckled, "Arrogant little brat aren't you? Zarbon, Dodoria, teach them some manners."
Trunks crouched down into a battle position. "Goten, you take the big pink one and I'll take the ugly green one."
"Okay!" Goten crouched much like Trunks and faced Dodoria.
"U-ugly?!" Zarbon shouted Trunks a vein popping out on his forehead.
"It's what I said." Trunks smirked while still in fighting position.
Zarbon seemed to fume. "I'll have you know I'm the most beautiful-"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever ugly! I thought we were supposed to be fighting?" Trunks yelled at the tall alien.
"Why you!" Zarbon launched himself at Trunks only to be stopped dead by a fist to the stomach. Zarbon bent over, the air spilling from his mouth as he clutched his mid section. Trunks in one swift motion bent his knees to get under his opponent then shot up, his right fist slamming into Zarbon's jaw sending him flying.
Trunks crossed his arms in victory as Zarbon's unconscious body fell face first a few yards away. He looked over at Goten who was bouncing on the unconscious Dodoria's big belly and laughing cheerfully. "Wow this guy is really bouncy!"
Trunks smirked at that and was about to speak to Frieza again when Goten let out a yelp and jumped of Dodoria. "Ow, ow, ow! I think I hit one of his spikes!" Goten said with tears in the corners of his eyes and his hands covering his rear end.
Trunks was distracted from what he was going to say and instead turned to his best friend. "Hey, be careful Goten!"

Vegeta was surprised when the boy brushed aside the alien Appule's attack. Of course Appule was a pathetic warrior, but he hadn't expected any power from either of the children, as they hadn't shown up on the scouters.
When the purple haired one announced that they where the strongest in the universe Vegeta scoffed at their over confidence. That position was reserved for him! As soon as Vegeta had enough power to defeat Frieza.
When Frieza sent out Zarbon and Dodoria everyone was surprised. The crowd of guards, techs, and warriors where astounded that Frieza would use those two to fight kids. Those two where Frieza's right hand men, both extremely powerful. Vegeta assumed Frieza wanted them taken care of quickly.
Vegeta watched the boy he thought was a Saiyajin. He crouched down after his companion had told him who he would fight. "You sure are big and round." The kid said, however it didn't seem to have been meant as an insult, he said it like an observation.
Dodoria, however, had growled and then smirked at the boy who was actually smaller than him. "You're pushing it kid!"
The pink alien moved to knock the boy unconscious, but as his fist swung all it hit was air. Shocked to have his target disappear like that, Dodoria didn't notice Goten hovering above him until it was too late. Goten landed a solid elbow right to the side of the pink blobs nearly none existent neck, causing Dodoria to fall flat on his back, unconscious. Across from him they could see Zarbon landing in a heap on the ground.
Vegeta along with Raditz, Nappa, and the whole room where stunned, most had there eyes bugged out and their mouths gaping. 'These can not be ordinary kids,' Vegeta thought, before seeing something that made his want to take it back.
Goten landed after his attack, right on Dodoria's stomach, and bounced a little. The unconscious alien didn't even twitch. Smiling and laughing the spiky haired boy began to bounce up and down while screaming, "Wheee! This is fun! Wow this guy is really bouncy!"
Vegeta thought he couldn't be anymore shocked until the boy accidentally hit one of Dodoria's sharp spikes. The boy yelped and shot of the alien with gushed of tears coming out of his eyes and him holding his injury.
"What are these kids?" Someone from the crowd of warriors said what was on everyone's mind.
