Vegeta, Trunks and Goten , Goku finished eating and packed their hiking bags so their could begin their 10 mile hike. Being young boys Goten and Trunks took off running towards the mountain base which their camp was only 2 miles away from, being Goku he ran after them trying to catch them while watching them run around with a scowl on his face Vegeta kept an eye on Trunks making sure he did hurt himself.
"Man Goku I thought you were faster than this?" Trunks taunted as Goku lunged towards his but missed as Trunks jumped over him and flew 20 ft above Goku. Goten followed to watch what his father would do hearing his friends statement about him being slow. Hearing his son taunt Kakarot made Vegeta smile and want to join in on the fun the others were having up in the sky., so he places his bag on the ground flew up and joined his son.
Narrowing his eyes at the purple headed saiyan Goku said sticking his tongue at Trunks in a very childish manner without realizing Vegeta had joined in on their little conversation. " Hmpf don't push you luck Trunks because remember I can transform into a SSJ3 while your are still a SSJ."
Angered by the saiyan clown's remark he look at his, said out loud to make sure Kakarot heard what was about to happen.
"Hey boys do you think Gotenks wants to play tag with Kakarot?" Vegeta yelled as he looked towards Trunks who happily responded by flying over to Goten who was gladly happy to help embarass his father.
Goku looked at Vegeta then to Goten and Trunks who were standing perfectly still and with that Goku knew that they were about to fuse. Sensing them rise their ki to the same level is what the hint that he better start powering up because when the boys fused they could reach SSJ3 easily better than he could which amazed him.
Watching Goku start to power up the boys began their fusion dance. "Fuuuuu…..sionnnnn. HA!" Goten and Trunks said in unison as the finished the fusion within one minute and the end results was Gotenks.
Gotenks stood there with his famous smirk on his face as he watched Goku who had been powering up since their began their fusion he had only made it to SSJ2. "Man I better hurry up because he looks like he is ready to play." Goku said as he screamed once more which triggered him to transform in SSJ3.
Watching from a distant Vegeta laughed because he knew that Gotenks was going to beat Kakarot at his silly game of tag.
"You ready old man?" Gotenks said laughing as he easily transformed into a SSJ3.
"Old man…. you boys have some guts." Goku said as gave them a stern look before he disappeared.
On high alert now Gotenks quickly looked behind then back to the front etc.. Until he sensed Goku's ki above him, when he looked up he saw Goku was charging them. Jumping out of the way just as Goku who was about to hit him on the head he powered up 2 ki blasts from his hands and threw them at Goku who was still fazed by Gotenks speed which directly hit Goku in his stomach.
"Did that hurt Kakarot?" Vegeta shouted as he smashed into the ground nearby him.
"Yea that actually did hurt. You boys have been training with Vegeta haven't you?" Goku said as he arose from the crater he had created and looked at Vegeta and Gotenks who was laughing at him.
"So what if I did train them? Surely you can handle them their are our sons." Vegeta said as he watched Goku expression to his comment that he could not even beat a couple of children.
"That's not fair Vegeta but I can still beat them." Goku said as he flew up to the laughing Gotenks who didn't notice him until he got a roundhouse kick to the face that sent him flying into the nearby mountain side.
"Boom!" was the only sound that Vegeta and Goku heard and when Gotenks made contact with the mountain there was a small landslide that covered up him up. Goku wiped blood from the corner of his mouth as he waited for Gotenks to recover from his kick. A few seconds passed and then there was a flash of light, from the rumble emerged Trunks and Goten.
"Hey what happened to me being an old man?" Goku asked as he smirked at the two young saiyans.
"We were only kidding around dad." Goten said as he rubbed his head.
"Yea Goku you didn't have to use all your power in that one kick." Trunks said as he floated down next to his father.
"Next time don't get distracted because that gives your enemy enough time to strike back and even possibly kill you." Vegeta said as Trunks landed next to him
"So I have to keep a clear mind while fighting huh Dad?" Trunks said as he looked up at his father who was watching Goku help wrap up Goten's head.
"Yes son, if you have a clear mind nothing can break your focus." Vegeta said as he put his hand on Trunks' shoulder.
"Right so when are you going to teach me how to do the Big Bang?" Trunks said with a hint of excitement in his voice.
"Kakarot!" Vegeta yelled
Hearing his name Goku and Goten flew down to Vegeta and Trunks to see why he was called.
"What's up Vegeta?" Goku said as he landed in front of Vegeta
"Well I want to teach Trunks my Big Bang attack but I need someone to throw blasts at me so I can also show him how to keep a clear mind."
"Wow you must be excited Trunks learning your dad's strongest and best attack." Goku said as he patted Trunks on the head.
"Yea I know I can't wait!" Trunks said as he tugged at his father's leg
"What is it boy?" Vegeta asked as he looked down at the lavender haired boy.
"You and Goku could fight so you will be able to show me the Big Bang."
Smiling at his son idea Vegeta looked at Goku to see him wearing his stupid grin with his hand on his head.
"Fine I guess Kakarot will have to do." Vegeta said smirking at Goku
"That's not nice Vegeta I am the perfect sparring partner for you." Goku said as he got into a fighting stance
"Oh really well let's find out Kakarot!" Vegeta said as he got into his fighting stance as well.
After 10 minutes of Goku and Vegeta fighting in the sky they both landed and both collapsed onto their back near each other while staring up at the mid-afternoon sky.
Vegeta stared off into the sky thinking about how far he had come since his first visit to Earth. Just as he started to find peace and quiet he was interrupted by Goku's voice.
"Damn idiot can't he shut up for 5 minutes!" Vegeta thought as he sat up and looked at Goku who was grabbing his backpack from Goten.
"Come on Vegeta we promised the boys we would teach them new moves and some of our signature moves after we sparred." Goku said as he patted Goten and Trunks on their heads.
"Yea dad come on! I wanna do the Big Bang already!" Trunks said as he grabbed Vegeta's bag and handed it to his father.
"Don't rush me I will teach you the Big Bang when I think you're ready to handle that much power." Vegeta said as he scolded his lavender hair son.
Saddened by his father's remark Trunks handed him his bag and ran to walk with Goten and Goku and left Vegeta behind them.
"He is so mean sometimes why can't he be more like Goku?" Trunks thought as he looked up at Goku who had a small smile on his face.
"Your father loves you Trunks he is only like this because he wants you to be strong so when he is gone you protect yourself and your loved ones." Goku said as he turned to look down at Trunks who was shocked to hear Goku's voice in his head.
"But I'm strong enough already." Trunks said as he looked down at his feet.
"You are very strong for your age but you are not strong enough to defeat every enemy on your own Trunks and you father knows that because it has happen to him many times."
Confused at Goku's comment Trunks looked up at him and saw that his small smile turned into a thin line as Goku had stop walking and was now looking at the Prince who was still walking towards them.
"What do you mean?" Trunks asked as he saw his dad walk past Goku and him
"When Majin Buu ate your mother and you he felt responsible because hours before he had sacrificed himself to stop Majin Buu which didn't work. He wouldn't stop blaming himself and he still blames himself to this day because he says if he was only stronger to protect you and your mother." Goku said just as Vegeta brushed passed him
Trunks watched as his dad passed them and thought to himself "Dad you are the strongest person I know… I just wished you would see that too."
"One day he will realize it Trunks but your father has a very strange way of figuring it out." Goku said as he walked passed Trunks to join Vegeta.
"What was that all about?" a very confused Goten asked as he looked at Trunks with that signature Son look.
"Oh that it was nothing I was just thinking about my girlfriend Mai. You wouldn't know it's big kid stuff." Trunks said hopefully Goten would buy his lie.
"Yea I guess I wouldn't understand. Anyway we better go before our dads leave us and eat all of the food." Goten said as he took off running to where their dads were.
"Hey wait up for me Goten!" yelled Trunks as he took off after the miniature Goku.
"Vegeta I'm taking Goten a couple of miles to the West so you and Trunks can go East, train as well." Goku said as he looked down at the Prince.
"That's fine as long as you and your brat don't interrupt my and Trunks lesson we should be fine." Vegeta said as he looked for Trunks
"Where are the boys?" Vegeta asked with a little hint of worry in his voice
"Umm I don't know hold on." Goku said
"GOOOOOOTEEEEENNNN!" Goku yelled which cause Vegeta to cover his very sensitive ears.
"You idiot why did you just find their Ki?" Vegeta shouted at Goku
"Oh I guess that would work too." Goku said while he rubbed the back of his head laughing at the angered Prince.
" Tch, I have no clue how you became the strongest being in the Universe." Vegeta said while rubbing his forehead with his middle and index fingers.
"Vegeta I found the boys they are coming this way." Goku said as he looked at the unamused Prince
"Thank Kami nothing happened….. I don't know if I could have lived with myself knowing that something happened to my son." Vegeta thought as he saw lavender hair come into view.
As the two young saiyans walked up to the fathers Vegeta looked at Trunks and without saying one word took off to the East to where him and Trunks would be training at.
"Dad where are you going?" Trunks said as he dad flew off
"If you want to learn the Big Bang you better hurry up because I'm tired of waiting son." Vegeta said as he looked back at his son below him. Trunks glared at his dad and soon flew up to his father where they took off to the East.
