15 Years Ago

"Over two-hundred and fifty years I've been searching for this temple…and at last…Long Live The Vashmall." Herelaah said in awe.

"Tell me Holy One; this book, it seems to be top on the priority list above all your other 'wanted' items." Takeo grunted

"This temple contains the key; the key to the greatest power the Universe has ever seen; the key to start the Great Journey of the Vashmallian Empire." Herelaah smiled evilly, "What? You doubt its' existence?" Herelaah hissed.

"No, Nobel Hierarch! As I said when I gave the pledge; Long Live The Vashmall. I live to serve you, my lord, and I am most anxious to witness this Great Journey." Takeo bowed. While he joined the Vashmall long ago, it was only recently that he was promoted to General.

"Good, very good." Herelaah smiled, "Heinrich!" The Prophet snarled. It had taken him three years of digging on this planet, but he finally found the temple. Thanks to Babidi decoding the stored vision in that Kanassan necklace, he was able to find it. Once he had the key, he would search for the book. It shouldn't be too hard, but he would need to beef up his currently small 'Empire'.

"Yes, my lord?" Heinrich walked up to his master and bowed.

"The key, find it!" Herelaah hissed.

"Yes, Herelaah. De key will be in your hands before de day is done." Heinrich smiled evilly as he held up his sword, "Onwards, schnell, schnell!" Heinrich yelled as he led several Royal Guards into the temple.

Present Day: Planet Earth

It was decided that since a Massive Alien Armada was heading towards Earth, the Z Warriors needed to train and get back into tip-top shape. It was no secret that many of the fighters had taken their training very lightly since Majin Buu was defeated. They were all enjoying the new peacetime, and with Goku brought back to life, many of the fighters had been spending time with him (especially Gohan and Goten). Vegeta had summoned Trunks back to the Gravity Room after his pitiful performance from a few hours ago.

"Hey Jaxon, wana spar?" Goten asked Jaxon as he floated over to the boy.

"Spar?" Jaxon asked; he looked at his book. "You? Want to fight me?" The boy asked in shock.

"Yea, why not?" Goten smiled.

"I don't know. I'm more of a runner, not a fighter." Jaxon said. He, like his big brother, lacked self-confidence

"We could play tag again. I won't use Super Saiyan or power up really high." Goten said.

"…Ok." Jaxon smiled as he stood up.

"Ready? Go!" Goten said as he jumped into the air; Jaxon quickly followed.

"Go get'em Jaxon." Ty smirked as he leaned against the wall.

"Hey." Said a voice. Ty glanced over to see Trunks, "My dad wants you." The boy said.

"Any particular reason?" Ty grunted.

"Dunno." Trunks shrugged his shoulders and walked back inside. Ty stared at Jaxon for a moment and then closed his eyes; nothing out of the ordinary that he could sense, "Are you coming?" Trunks hissed.

"Grr…" Ty's eyes flickered gold, "Calm down, I'm coming." Ty grunted as he followed the Jackass. Ty followed Trunks through Capsule Corp, and eventually to a very large metal door, "What the hell is in there?" Ty asked.

"That's the Gravity Room." Trunks said.

"…Right…" Ty mumbled. What possible use could a room dedicated to Gravity serve? Trunks entered his code and opened the door; the two boys stepped inside.

"Took you long enough." Vegeta grunted.

"I didn't realize I was being timed." Ty chuckled.

"Alright, enough talk, I want to see just how good of a fighter you really are." Vegeta said.

"Alright, bring it." Ty said.

"Not me…" Vegeta said, "The boy."

"What?" Trunks asked in shock.

"What?" Ty asked in even more shock.

"You heard me." Vegeta said.

"This sounds like a relatively bad idea." Ty said.

"What's the matter? Afraid I'll kick your ass?" Trunks snorted.

"Oh no, I'm just afraid I might kill you." Ty said; he sounded like he actually meant it.

"Ha, don't make me laugh. I can beat you with one arm behind my back." Trunks had a proud smirk on his face.

"Yea right!" Ty laughed, "What are you? Four? Five-years-old?" The old boy asked.

"I'm eight!" Trunks hissed. How did he look five?

"I highly doubt that." Ty let out a small chuckle.

"Grrr." Trunks growled as he got in a fighting stance, "I'll show you." Trunks spat.

"Bring it on, Violet." Ty said as he got in a fighting stance.

"No Super Saiyan Trunks, understand?" Vegeta said.

"Trust me, I won't need it." Trunks smirked.

"Grrr." Ty's eyes flickered gold and then went back to normal; he was going to enjoy this. Just then, Trunks phased out of sight and Ty felt someone kick him from behind, right into a wall.

"Oh this is going to be way too ea…sy?" Ty jumped up and launched at Trunks. Trunks dodged and got back into a fighting stance, but where was Ty? Just then, Trunks was knocked off his feet by a kick to his leg from behind him. Ty brought up his foot and brought it down towards Trunks's face. Trunks rolled out of the way and got back up to his feet, "Not bad, but if that's all you've got then…"

"You gona keep running that mouth of yours, or are we gona fight?" Ty Growled. Trunks heard his father let out a chuckle and clenched his fists.

"You're mine!" Trunks hissed as he phased out of sight.

15 Years Ago

"…What are we waiting for?" One of the Royal Guards asked. They had just entered the temple and in front of them was something rather odd.

"Why ist this portion of de pathway different?" Heinrich growled. The hall behind them was rock and rough. This section was about 50 feet long, white, and smooth. It had hundreds of small holes on the ground and on the walls.

"You think it's a trap, boss?" A Royal Guard asked.

"Ja." Heinrich nodded, "You go first." Heinrich grabbed one of the Guards and pushed him forwards.

"Ah!" For every hole on the ground the Guard touched, an arrow would shoot out of one of the holes on the wall. The Royal Guard fell to the ground, covered in arrows, and was surrounded by a pool of blood.

"Ha, und I was worried." Heinrich laughed as he strolled down the hall. He was pelted with hundreds of arrows that went into his skin, but he didn't seem to care much. He got to the end of the trap and collapsed to the ground. Thirty seconds later, he was back on his feet, fully recovered, "I shall be back with de Key." Heinrich said as he walked off. The other Royal Guards just stood there in shock.

Present Day

"Get back here!" Jaxon yelled as he flew after Goten. The two boys were flying all around Capsule Corporations, and in truth, it was some of the best fun Jaxon had in long time. The two boys flew around the main building, then high into the sky. They flew back to the ground and flew through a few trees, "You're really fast, Goten." Jaxon laughed as he tried to keep up.

"Thanks, you too." Goten said. He noticed Jaxon almost lose control multiple times, but other than that, he was a fast kid.

"Yea, I don't fly to much. I'm a little out of practice." Jaxon said as he almost lost control again. Without even knowing it, the two boys started flying away from Capsule Corp and into the city. They weaved through the skyscrapers and flew through the park.

With Ty, Trunks, And Vegeta

"…Why won't you stay down?" Trunks whispered in shock.

"Gn…nnn…" Ty spit some blood onto the floor before stumbling to his feet and getting into a fighting stance once again, "Come on Earth Child! Is that all you got?" Ty smirked. Truthfully, he wasn't very happy about this fight; he was getting his ass kicked by a five-year-old with purple hair. Vegeta was impressed; not by the boy's strength or fighting abilities, but by the fact that he wouldn't give up. Trunks had kept his word the entire fight and hadn't used his left arm, Super Saiyan, or any blasts (he was allowed to, he just didn't want to turn the boy into a pile of ashes). Ty's eyes flickered Gold and he straightened up. "Guess I'll have to use some of my old tricks then." Ty said as blood dripped off his chin.

"You can't beat me, why do you even try?" Trunks asked

"Cause I'm not goin down without one hell of a fight." The boy growled as he began to walk around the round room. His pace increased until he was running, then he got really fast, then he started to run on the walls.

"What the hell are you do…"

Bam! Trunks hit the wall and rubbed his head.

"Cheap shot." Trunks mumbled.

Bam! "Now the kid is mad." Vegeta chuckled as Ty really started to toss Trunks around, but the only problem was that he was doing minimal damage.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Ty was on a roll.

"Grrr!" Growled Trunks as he phased out of sight. It was time to make this kid go crying home to his mommy…oh wait…

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Ty fell to his knees and began breathing heavily. What the frak was this kid?

"Give up yet?" Trunks laughed.

"You'd…like that…wouldn't…you?" Ty coughed as he stumbled to his feet.

"Grrr." Trunks ran at the boy, but he dodged.

Bam! Trunks stumbled forwards as Ty kicked him in the back of his head. It wasn't a very hard kick, partially because Ty was getting tired, but he just didn't have the kind of power and strength to be a Half-Saiyan.

"Oh you're going to regret that." Trunks snarled.

15 Years Ago

"Ringel, Ringel, Rosen, schöne Aprikosen, Veilchen und Vergissmeinnicht, alle Kinder setzen sich!" Heinrich sang as he walked down the hall (Ring Around the Rosy)

"Halt!" An armored robot hissed as it rolled into the hall.

"Hm hm hmm." Heinrich hummed to himself as he pulled out a large plasma-shotgun.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! The robot fell to the ground; it had several holes in its' head.

"De Key, De Key, I'm coming for De Key." Heinrich sang. Herelaah was sure to reward him for this.

Present Day

"Now where did he go?" Goten mumbled as he looked around. He got the feeling to look up and his eyes shot wide open.

"Look out below!" Jaxon laughed as he did a dive bomb towards Goten.

"Ah!" Goten yelped as he dodged. Jaxon's eyes shot wide open as he struggled to stop.

Crash! "Jaxon, are you ok?" Goten asked as he ran over to the boy.

"…Oww." Jaxon mumbled as he rubbed his head, "Time out." The boy said. Goten helped the kid up, "Guess my flying needs more work, huh?"

"You know, big brother could teach you how to fly better. He taught me and Videl how to fly." Goten smiled; he pondered over something for a moment, "I could even teach you." Jaxon looked at the boy and tilted his head.

"…Really?" Jaxon asked; he seemed relatively surprised.

"Of course!" Goten smiled, "Maybe I'll teach you the kamehameha wave too." Goten smirked.

"Really?" Jaxon smiled.

"But…" Jaxon tilted his head, "First ya gotta catch me." Goten giggled as he shot into the air; Jaxon smiled and took off after him.

With Ty, Trunks, And Vegeta

Trunks just stared at him, jaw dropped; Ty was getting up again!

"Enough…is enough." Ty coughed as he pulled out his gun, "If…if…if I can't hurt you…you with a fist, th…then how about…hot p…plasma?" Ty hissed as he fired several shots at Trunks; the boy dodged all of them, "Grrr!" Ty fired shot after shot as Trunks ran around the room. Ty had enough of this little shit. Trunks was making a fool out of him; a little brat beating him around like he was nothing, and he wasn't causing Trunks any damage. His eyes were rapidly flickering gold at this point.

Click…click, click, click!

"Aww man…" Ty whined; he was out of ammo.

"Looks like he's tougher than you thought, huh Trunks?" Vegeta smirked.

"Grrr! He's nothing." Trunks hissed.

"Really? Then why does he keep on getting back up?" Vegeta asked.

"He's nothing but a stupid…" Ty clenched his fists, "Weak…" Ty grinded his teeth, "Pathetic…" Ty's eyes were rapidly flickering gold, "Piece of trash who couldn't hurt a fly!" Trunks snarled.

"Grah!" Ty's eyes lit up bright gold. Now he was mad; not just about this, it was a lot of things actually, but this pushed him too far.

"I won't be beaten in front of my father." Trunks mumbled, "Not by you!" The boy powered up to Super Saiyan and launched forwards; Ty never saw it coming.

Bam! Ty smashed into the wall of the Gravity Room and fell to the ground where he lay there motionless. Vegeta straightened up and stared at the boy. He was literally not moving, and there was a small puddle of blood forming next to his mouth.

"Ha! Give up yet?" Trunks gave a proud smirk; now the boy would have to admit that he was a better fighter. Vegeta slowly walked over to the boy and sensed his KI; it started to drop. "Is he ok?" Trunks asked as he powered down.

"I told you not to use Super Saiyan, did I not?" Vegeta growled as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small leather pouch. He reached into the pouch and pulled out a Senzu Bean and stuffed it into the boy's mouth, "Come on Damn it, chew!" Vegeta lightly tapped the boy's cheek. Ty slowly chewed the bean and managed to swallow. His injuries slowly disappeared, but his pride wasn't going to be recovering any time soon. His pride was already damaged enough from three years on the run. After his parents died, things got 1000X worse, "Go wash up, you're done." Vegeta shot his son a death stare.

"What, no trophy?" Trunks asked. Vegeta stood up and held up his hand causing Trunks to sprint out of the room.

"Perhaps this wasn't as good of an idea as I thought." Vegeta said.

"Your son can go to hell." Ty growled as he pushed himself off the ground.

"Yes, the boy has a mouth." Vegeta said.

"Whatever." Ty mumbled as he slowly walked towards the door; his eyes were back to normal.

"That was better than I thought it would be." Vegeta said, "You have fighting potential."

"I just lost to a purple haired five-year-old, and you're complimenting my fighting?" Ty chuckled.

"He's eight, and he's half Saiyan, it's no wonder that his power level is so high." Vegeta said.

"Yea, well…" Ty left the room. Vegeta could tell the boy was pretty pissed about losing to Trunks, but he was telling the truth about the boy's fighting. He'd never seen fighting techniques like that and he was defiantly giving some (small) trouble for Trunks during the fight. It's strange; he could have sworn the boy's eyes were glowing gold right before Trunks knocked him out.

15 Years Ago

"Bei den Göttern! By the Gods; The Key of Kamell." Heinrich said in shock. There it was; 50 feet in front of him, sitting on a large stone in the middle of the room, right in the open, completely unguarded, "Nein, to easy." The Bounty Hunter growled. He looked around the room and saw writing and symbols all over the walls. He took out his camera and began to take pictures. As soon as he had documented every inch of the wall, he made his way over to the Key. It was a rather simple looking key, nothing too fancy. Hell, it was even rusted in some spots. The key was attached to a small silver chain so that it could be worn around your neck, "De hell with it." Heinrich said as he snatched the Key off the rock; it immediately went around his neck and lit up bright silver for a few seconds, "Easy as un strudel." Heinrich smiled as he began to walk. Just then, the entire temple began to shake, "Ah yes, there's de trap." Heinrich said as he began to look around. The ceiling started to crack and the room was caving in. "Now I think I should go." Heinrich said as he sprinted out of the room, "Curse de idioten who built this place!" Heinrich growled as he dodged falling rocks.

Outside The Temple

"…Well, there goes the temple." Takeo mumbled as he watched the temple collapse.

"Nnnnoooo!" Herelaah screamed at the top of his lungs, "My key!"

"You worry too much, my Lord." Said a voice with a German accent; Herelaah looked up and smiled evilly. Heinrich blasted himself out of the temple, completely unharmed, with the Key around his neck.

"Excellent." Herelaah smiled evilly, "Ah ha ha excellent. Ah ha ha ha! Excellent! Long Live The Vashmall!"
