Neo sat up in bed and wiped his eyes clean. He looked around before climbing out of bed.

After getting cleaned and changing into his day clothes, a purple shirt, similar in style to Goku's with blank under armor that covered his entire upper arms, and flexible pants that resembled jeans, purple boots, and a brown belt with a gold buckle. His tail came out of a hole in the back of his pants. Neo also put black, weighted arms bands on his wrists.

Piccolo greeted him when he stepped out into the main lookout area.

"Good Morning Neo. Did you sleep well?"

"I did."

"So, are you ready for you training with Vegeta?"

"I'm a bit nervous. If I lose control there might not be any way to stop me, and cutting off my tail would only ruin the exercise."

"He could always destroy the moon ball."

"Oh…" Neo felt stupid for missing that detail. "Never thought of that."

"Your nervousness causes you to assume the worst. Don't worry. It'll be fine."

"Thanks Piccolo."

After finishing breakfast and a brief sparring with Piccolo, Neo left the lookout and flew to Capsule Corp.

Vegeta stood outside the gravity room waiting for Neo to show up. He was anxious to see how powerful Neo really was. He also wondered what the Oozaru would look like since Neo was apparently a super saiyan.

Neo's figure appeared in the distance. Neo was on the ground in front of Vegeta a few minutes later.

"You're here. Now we can leave for the training grounds."

Neo nodded and followed Vegeta into the air. He noticed Trunks following behind.

Vegeta turned his head slightly and saw Trunks out of the corner of his eye.

"Trunks? What are you doing here?"

"I want to see the training too. I've never seen an Oozaru before."

"Oozaru are dangerous."

"But…I'm a super saiyan. You said that it was the ultimate transformation."

"Neo is a super saiyan, so when he transforms he'll be a super saiyan Oozaru. You're welcome to come, just stay a safe distance away."

"Yes dad."

Eighteen sat down on the living room couch at Kame house. She was deep in thought.

Krillin came down the stairs and noticed his wife's thoughtful expression.

"I something wrong Eighteen? I've never seen you like this before."

"It's just…" Eighteen looked down at the floor. "That guy from the future."

"You mean Neo? What about him?"

"Isn't it obvious? He looks so much like Seventeen. His eyes, his hairstyle, even his voice is similar."

"Hmmm. He said he was from an alternate reality and not the future of our reality. Maybe he's related to you."

"But…he's obviously part saiyan. There are only male saiyans left so for him to be related I would have to be the mother."

Krillin sensed that this conversation was going somewhere he didn't think it should go. Eighteen can't be the mother…she's Marron's mother.

"Let's just drop the subject Eighteen. It's probably just a coincidence."

In the middle of a desert, Neo stood facing Vegeta. Trunks was a hundred feet back sitting on a rock. His saiyan eyesight allowed him to see what was going on clearly.

"Alright Neo. I want to see how powerful you really are without the Oozaru transformation. So power up to your maximum."

"Aright." Neo started powering up. His hair spiked, as he became a super saiyan. His hair that stood straighter and grew an inch longer as he ascended to super saiyan two.

Vegeta was mildly surprised at the youth's power. Impressive, he's already ascended past a super saiyan and he still can't beat that Glorft creature? We really do have our work cut out for us.

Vegeta had to hide his utter surprise as Neo continued to ascend. His hair grew longer and started to resembled Raditz' hair. His eyebrow ridges bulged slightly as his eyebrows disappeared. After a minute of powering up, he now stood before Vegeta as a super saiyan 3.

"Impressive Neo. I have a request of you."

"What kind of request?"

Vegeta smirked. "You have to help me become a super saiyan three while I help you become a giant ape. You're the only one who's ever done it while being alive and without fusion."

"It's a deal."

"Right. Let's begin."

Vegeta created a moon ball, and the training began.

Gohan sat in the corner of his room. He had long since finished studying for his finals, and was no deep in thought.

Videl walked into the room and felt concern when she saw Gohan.

"Gohan? What's wrong?"

Gohan looked up at her with a surprised expression.

"Videl…what are you doing here?"

"You're mom invited my dad and I over. He's down there eating her cooking right now with Goten. I was worried sine you weren't there. Your mom called to you several times."

Gohan looked shocked. "She did?" He got up and was about to go down when he felt Videl's hand on his shoulder.

"I know something's up with you. Why don't you come out and say it?"

Gohan sighed. The look Videl was giving him showed that she wouldn't settle for anything less than a clear answer.

"I'm thinking about Neo."

"Oh…you mean that guy who came from the future?"

"Yeah. He seems familiar to me."

"How so?"

"I don't know, but I recognize him…I think…it's hard for me to explain, but he feels like family to me."

"That's weird."

Videl's eyes lit up when an idea came to her head.

"Maybe he is family. He did come from the future. Maybe he's our son."

Gohan blushed. "Our son? So does that mean we're dating now?"

"You'll get your date when you ask for it, but I would like to have a future with you."

Gohan started to blush some more. Then they heard Hercule's voice.

"Videl! You two better not be doing anything up there!"

Videl sighed. "Let's go down before my dad decides to check on us."

Vegeta destroyed the moon ball, ending the training session.

Neo reverted to his normal form and dropped down on his knees.

"It's no use Vegeta. I still can't control it."

"You've made progress. It never happens the first time."

Trunks decided to come closer since it was now safe.

"That was awesome. You were like the juggernaut from my new video game."

Neo blinked, and gave Trunks a confused look.

"Bulma gave the brat a new game that he's been playing during his spare time."

"Oh…when should I start teaching you about super saiyan 3?"

"You can start now unless it requires sparring."

"Alright. I guess…to start you're supposed to power up as high as you can without exploding."

Vegeta powered up to his super saiyan 2 and pushed the form to its limit.

"Then you have to train until your body can't take it anymore. I'm not sure what happens next. It took me four years after become super saiyan 2 to reach super saiyan 3. All I remember is my pen up frustration at not being able to defeat Glorft. It exploded and then it happened. It's kinda like the original super saiyan transformation."

Vegeta was listening intently. "I see. I'm no stranger to what I have to do. I'll have to do this training alone. You can go now Neo."

"Thank you Vegeta." Neo flew back towards the lookout to rest.

"Can I help you train dad?"

"No Trunks. I understand what Neo meant. I'll have to do some solo training. Just as I did before I became a super saiyan. You should go home. It's starting to get dark."

"Okay dad." Trunks turned super saiyan and flew off towards Capsule Corp.

When he was out of sight, Vegeta started doing finger pushups at high speed.

He then moved on to shadow boxing. He put in as much effort as he could and maintained super saiyan 2 as long as he could.

After three hours of constant training, he dropped from the sky and decided to rest before heading home.

Goku sat deep in thought on the Grand Kai's planet. Pikkon was sparring with Olibu in the arena behind him.

The Grand Kai saw Goku and decided to check up on him.

"Something the matter Goku?"

"Oh…Hi Grand Kai. I just feel useless right now."

"Why would you feel useless?"

"All my friends are going to fight their greatest battle ever, and I can't do anything to help. It's just like in Trunks' alternate future where I die before the androids come. It's such a waste."

'Don't worry about it Goku they can fight this battle themselves."

"Thanks Grand Kai."

"There's more on you mind."

"Oh…yeah. I was also wondering who Neo is."

"I could tell you. I make it a point to read the minds of any individual who comes here from an alternate reality."

"Could you tell me who his family is? He looks like some combination of Gohan and android 17."

"Funny you should say that, because that was for the most part a true statement."

"What do you mean?"

"He's your grandson, and the mother is Eighteen."

Goku's eyes seemed to bulge out before he fell on his back.

"Shocking? It would be since the two were mortal enemies when Neo was conceived. I'm not sure how it happened, though I also don't really want to know."

Goku got up and scratched the back of his head with a nervous grin on his face. "I think we shouldn't tell the parents about Neo's true identity. Who knows what would happen."

"Yeah. They're both with other people. I doubt Krillin and Videl would be pleased and Gohan and Eighteen would feel like divorced parents. Neo is their son, but they can't give him a normal family life."

"Yeah…but Gohan's smart. He might find out eventually."

"its better they find out than have it told to them. They would have proof, and they might understand why he kept it secret. Neo might be met with hostility from them, especially Krillin and Videl if he told them who he was. They might think he was trying to break up two perfectly fine relationships."

"Yeah…thanks Grand Kai. Now I'm ready to have a spar. Hey Pikkon. I want to go next!"

The Grand Kai chuckled to himself as he watched Goku run into the arena and start sparring with Pikkon.

He then left. I have to find out what I can about Glorft. The Kai archives should contain information about him.

I don't plan on including much of Neo's training. I'm going to focus on how the charecters interact with Neo. For everyone who reads this chapter, I would also like you to read my other story 'The History of Neo.' Its the prequel to this story and might clear up a few things.
