Author's Note: Oh no, Trunks and his cocky attitude aren't done yet, and what's with Ty's flickering gold eyes? Is he hiding something? You'll just have to read in order to find out LOL.

Capsule Corporations

"…Hey, what happened to you?" Bulma asked as Ty slowly walked into the kitchen. The boy had bloodstains on his shirt and dried blood on his face.

"Your husband wanted to see how good of a fighter I am." Ty mumbled.

"He did that to you?" Bulma slammed her fist down on the countertop. Leave it to Prince Jackass to beat up an orphan kid two days after he arrives.

"Good guess, but no." Ty started to blush.

"…Well then who?" Bulma asked; Ty gave her a mixed looked.

"I'll give one guess." Ty growled.

"…He made you fight Trunks?" Bulma asked.

"Yyyyyyup." Ty sighed as he grabbed a paper towel, wet it, and wiped his face.

"Well? Who won?" Bulma asked. Ty mumbled to himself as his face turned brighter red. Meanwhile, Vegeta was listening to them from around the corner. "Well, Trunks is a…"

"A Saiyan, it's been said. That still doesn't change the fact that some five-year-old purple haired smartass just nearly killed me with one kick to the stomach." Ty hissed, "That is, after he beat me around like I was nothing."

"He's eight." Bulma stated.

"He acts like he's five." Ty mumbled.

"Yes, Trunks's cocky attitude can be a bit much sometimes, but he's a good kid. He just wants to act tough so people think he's a tough fighter; it's a Saiyan thing. He gets it from his father." Bulma said.

"Yea, well…" Ty mumbled, "Being tough doesn't mean you have to be a Jackass."

"…I like that idea." Bulma let out a small laugh; in fact she'd been telling Vegeta the same thing for years. She stared at the depressed look on Ty's face. The woman couldn't tell if he was upset about the fight, or upset about something else, "Why don't we go outside and join the others? It's a nice day out." Bulma suggested.

"Hn" Ty reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette that he grabbed earlier, "Fine, I could use one of these anyway." He got up and stared at Bulma, "Do you guys really think you can stop the Vashmall?"

"I know we can; don't you worry, we'll get them for everything they've done." Bulma smiled.

"…Good." Ty said. Bulma noticed a tear roll down the boy's cheek, but didn't say anything. She thought for a minute; the boy had lost his home planet just like Vegeta. Only difference was that Ty watched his parents get tortured to death, and he's been on the run having to take care of his little brother. She placed her hand on the boy's shoulder and Ty looked down as another tear ran down his cheek.

"We'll get them, I promise." Bulma said; Ty slowly nodded.

"…Th…thank you very much for…for your hospitality…if there's any…anything I…I can do t…to repay you…" Bulma wrapped her arms around the boy and pulled him into a hug.

"Just try to relax, that's all I want you to do. You've been through enough and the Earth's Special Forces will handle it from here." Bulma said. The boy let out a few cries but regained control. When he closed his eyes, he felt like it was his mother hugging him. Vegeta frowned and slowly walked off. He felt bad for the kid; not that he would ever say it, but he would make sure that the Vashmall were stopped. Ty wiped his eyes; he just nearly lost it, but he was cool, everything was good. The boy looked up at Bulma.

"…Do you really call yourselves the Earth's Special Forces?" Ty sniffed.

"Sometimes it's the Z Warriors or Z Fighters." Bulma said.

"…What does the 'Z' stand for?" Ty asked.

"…I…don't…know." Bulma said; what did the 'Z' mean?

"Hmph, lets go." Ty said as he walked out of the room with Bulma.

Outside

Goku, Gohan, Krillin, and even Yamcha were all preparing for the Vashmall. Chi Chi, 18, Marron, Puar, Oolong, Master Roshi, and Mrs. Briefs were all watching them on the side. Actually, they were watching Jaxon who was trying to catch Goten and he was making progress. Goten was actually having a hard time shaking him. Their chase had gone around the city, to the harbor, and back to Capsule Corp.

"You're fast." Goten said.

"Like I said; I'm not a fighter, I'm a runner." Jaxon said, "And I have my energy back." The boy smiled. After having eaten and getting a good nights rest, he felt great. At that moment, Trunks walked out and looked up at the two.

"Goten, enough goofing around, I want a real fight." Trunks called out. Jaxon and Goten landed and Jaxon immediately grabbed Goten. Goten's jaw dropped; he let his guard down.

"Does this mean I win?" Jaxon smirked; Goten nodded slightly, "Yay, so does this mean you'll teach me the Kamehameha wave thing?" Jaxon asked.

"…Of course." Goten smiled.

"I heard my brother went to fight you; how did he do?" Jaxon asked

"I kicked his ass, he was pathetic." Trunks said with a proud smirk. Jaxon said nothing and watched Bulma and his brother walk outside. Trunks turned and gave a slight chuckle. "Come for another ass kicking?" Trunks laughed. Ty ignored him and sat down. The brat needed to learn when to shut the frak up. He took out his cigarette and lit up. "Oh what? You're mad at me because I'm better than you?" Trunks smirked.

"That's enough, Trunks." Bulma growled. The fight was over, Trunks needed to take his 'victory' and shut up.

"I guess your brother was right; you two can't fight, so all you're good at is running away like cowards." Trunks said. The Young Prince's cocky, smart-ass, jerk attitude was unusually high today.

"Trunks!" Bulma yelled.

"Hey, it's not my fault his race is nothing but a bunch of weaklings. If that's how they fight, then it's no wonder his parents were killed." Said Trunks. Ty felt a tear roll down his cheek as he clenched his fists; the brat was heading into a very personal territory, and it was a territory Ty didn't like to go into. Trunks just crossed the line, "Oh what? Is the baby gona cry?" Trunks laughed. At that moment, Ty's eyes started to flicker gold. The boy was making him angry; he wouldn't like him when he's angry.

"Grrr." Jaxon looked at Trunks. His eyes began to glow bright red and he became very mad.

"What, you gona go crying to your mom…oh wait…" Trunks noticed Jaxon's glowing red eyes and his face changed.

"Grrr." Jaxon slowly walked towards the boy and started breathing heavy.

"Hey, back off." Trunks growled as he took a step back; Jaxon continued to walk forwards. Trunks watched as the book floated from Jaxon's hand and rose above his head; the two became surrounded in a red aurora of energy. Jaxon cracked his knuckles and continued to move forwards.

"What did you say to him?" Jaxon roared. His voice sounded demonic and it actually sounded like two put together; a deep one and Jaxon's. The sky turned dark and it became very windy, "Fool, you have angered the Keeper of the Book of Kamell! Now you will suffer my wrath!" Jaxon screamed. Ty's eyes stopped flickering gold as he watched his Brother/Kamell. Trunks continued to back away. He glanced at the others who were just watching in shock. Trunks held up his fist and swung it at Jaxon. The boy caught it effortlessly and crushed his hand into blood, bone, and gore.

"Aaah!" Trunks fell to the ground as he began sobbing uncontrollably.

"Stuck in this prison; only able to speak and walk through this body, I am no match for a planet, but one half-breed Saiyan brat should be an easy kill!" Jaxon snarled as the sky turned cloudy and the wind picked up.

"Jaxon, relax!" Gohan said as he landed next to the boy.

BAM!

"Foolish boy!" Jaxon spat as Gohan hit the ground and blacked out.

"What the hell?" Vegeta yelled as he ran outside. Jaxon's KI was rising at an alarming rate. Lightning began to light up the dark sky.

"Dad!" Trunks screamed. Vegeta flew at Jaxon, but he dodged.

"Looking for me?" Jaxon asked. Vegeta turned to see Jaxon holding his son by the neck.

"Drop him, NOW!" Vegeta snarled as he powered up to Super Saiyan.

"Hmph!" Jaxon held up his fist and shattered Trunks's nose.

"Son of a…" Vegeta launched at the two, but Jaxon phased out of sight.

"Ah ha ha haa!" Jaxon punched Trunks in the chest, breaking several ribs.

"Help!" Trunks screamed.

"Who's the weak race now?" Jaxon snarled as he punched the boy in the stomach, causing him to spit up blood.

"Please!" Trunks begged.

"You treat them like crap because you're stronger…" Jaxon dodged Vegeta again, "But…" Jaxon once again dodged, "You're just as breakable as they are!" Jaxon snarled as he snapped the boy's leg.

"Aaah!" Trunks screamed bloody murder while Jaxon showed no sign of mercy.

"Thou has sinned and thy debt must be paid!" Jaxon roared as he held up his fist.

"Kamell! Enough!" Ty screamed.

"Hmm?" Jaxon turned to Ty and dropped Trunks to the ground. Trunks started sobbing in pain. Jaxon quickly took a step back and licked some of the blood off his hands, "Don't cross me again half breed brat, or else I'll kill you!" Jaxon spat as he went back to normal; he collapsed to the ground and blacked out. Vegeta sprinted over to his son and lifted him into his arms.

"What the hell was that?" Snarled Vegeta at Ty. Ty held up his middle finger and ran over to Jaxon; he had tears running down his face, "Well?" Vegeta growled.

"Your son is a jackass like the rest of the Universe; we're leaving. Taz!" Ty yelled.

"Grah!" Taz came out of nowhere and sat down in front of the two.

"Hn?" Vegeta raised his eyebrow; what did he miss? Ty stood up and began to walk away, but then turned.

"Don't you ever talk about my parents like that again…" The boy hissed as he took off. Vegeta looked down at his bloody and beaten son and almost shot him a death stare.

"Ty, what did he say?" Vegeta growled as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his bag of Senzu beans; he took a bean from the pouch. Now he was down to one. Ty stopped and turned.

"Let him tell you…" The young teen growled. His eyes flickered gold several times. Vegeta placed the bean in his son's mouth and waited. He then dropped the healed boy to the ground and crossed his arms.

"What did you say?" Vegeta spat.

"Mmm…" Trunks looked at the ground as his heart began to race; he was going to die.

"Trunks, you have five seconds to tell me what you said before I beat it out of you in front of everyone." Vegeta growled.

"Int my falhrc is nthing bt a bch of wking. If tht hw thy fght, thn inowder his prts kd." Trunks quickly mumbled.

"What?" Vegeta snarled. Trunks took a deep breath; he was a dead man.

"It's…not my fault his race…is…nothing but a bunch of weaklings…if that's…how…they…fight, then it's no wonder…his…parents…were…killed." Trunks said quietly. Ty felt more tears roll down his cheek; that was low, and that hurt a lot! Hell, that was something he'd expect from the Vashmallians.

Slap! Trunks went flying passed Ty, Jaxon, and Taz and Vegeta followed. The Saiyan Prince grabbed his son and took off. Vegeta was considering killing the brat; he had a big problem with what he just said.

"Frakking little shit." Ty spat as he held Jaxon.

"…I…he…Trunks didn't mean that." Goku said.

"Bull shit! He's just like everyone else; they don't give a shit about you or your life, they're stronger than you so they take advantage of you, and they say what they want just to make themselves feel even stronger." Ty said as he turned away from the others. He felt Goku place his hand on his shoulder.

"I hope you'll still stay." Goku said quietly.

"…" Ty said nothing.

"It's too dangerous for you to leave. The Vashmall are hot on your trail, and there's no way you'll be able to fight them alone, let us help you." Goku said.

"…That's the first time someone wanted me to stay." Ty sniffed. What was is about this planet? Why was everyone so nice?

"Hn." Goku just smiled.

"…Fine, you know you guys are the first group of people to not try to kill us." Ty said as he shook the man's hand.

"I can't imagine why people can be so mean." Goku said.

"Well, you saw one reason a few seconds ago." Ty said as he looked at his brother.

"…So that's happened before?" Goku asked.

"Yup, that was Kamell talking. He doesn't like Trunks, and neither do I. That little shit isn't to come anywhere near me or my brother!" Ty spat.

"…You know Vegeta is gona make sure he apologizes." Goku said.

"He can apologize as much as he wants! I have every right to break his frakking nose!" Ty spat as more tears ran down his cheek.

"…" Goku stared at him.

"Hey! I might have to take it when there are hundreds of people with swords and guns, but when it's one frakking kid, it's different! He shouldn't be able to talk to us like that!" Ty yelled, "…It's…it's not fair." The boy mumbled.

"He shouldn't, and Trunks is like that sometimes; trust me. He says a lot of mean things, but he gets it from his dad." Goku said.

"Hmm…" Vegeta had a hostile attitude, but Ty thought he was ok, he just had a little jackass for a son. Goku patted the boy on the back and went over to help Gohan up.

"Mrs. Briefs?" Ty said. As much as he didn't want to, he had to.

"Yes?" Bulma smiled as she walked up to the boy. She hoped Trunks was getting hell for that comment. That was uncalled for and just plain rude.

"Can you take me to my pod?" The young teen asked. He needed it; he really needed it.

"Sure." Bulma smiled.

"…You want us to watch him?" Goku asked.

"Hmm?" Ty stared at him and smiled, "If it's not too much trouble. You know once he comes out of his shell, he's going to be a handful." The boy let out a small chuckle. He'd held off for long enough; he needed his 'stuff'.

"Trust me when I say I can handle it. I've babysat Trunks and Goten at the same time." Goku smirked as he took Jaxon.

"Thanks, I'll come back out if I sense him do that thing again." Ty said as he followed Bulma. He hoped Trunks was getting hell right now. He felt a tear roll down his cheek. Ty was starting to get that horrible feeling again; he needed his 'stuff' NOW. The only reason he asked Bulma to take him was because he didn't know his way around the house, and he couldn't think straight.

In The Labs

"Here they…are?" Bulma watched Ty sprint to Jaxon's pod and open it. He began to dig around for several things. He grabbed a bag and started to load the bag with several items.

"…Looking for something?" Dr. Briefs asked. He was busy with Ty's pod and the computer inside.

"Nothing." Ty growled as he tied the bag shut and quickly walked out of the room.

"…What was that about?" Bulma asked.

With Ty

Ty sprinted into the kitchen and began to open every cabinet until he found a cup. He then began pacing back and forth.

"…Grah." Taz grunted as he walked into the kitchen.

"Jaxon's room, where did he sleep?" Ty spat. Taz stared at him, "I need this! Tell me where he slept!" Ty yelled. Taz walked out of the room and Ty followed, "Faster you frakking rat." Ty hissed.

"Grrr…" Taz growled. He hated when Ty got like this; the boy was crazy.

"Come on!" Ty spat as he ran ahead of the beast. Taz stopped at Trunks's room and Ty kicked the door open. He ran around the room, knocking over various things, looking for Jaxon's sack of stuff, "Where is it? Gods Damn it, where is it?" Ty shook.

"Gruh…" Taz grunted as he walked down the hall. Ty quickly followed until they got to another room; it was Jaxon's 'Other' bedroom. Ty kicked the door open and jumped on the bed. He grabbed the sack and tore it open. He then dumped the contents on the bed and picked up a small worn picture; it was a picture of Ty, Jaxon, and his parents.

"Mmm mmm." Taz whined as he walked off. He decided to let his master do what makes him 'happy' and rejoin the others outside

"Stupid trash; shut the frakking door!" Ty screamed as he kicked the door shut and ran back over to the bed. He knocked the lamp off the nightstand and began the only thing that seemed to bring him happiness in this hellhole called a Universe. He got out a large unopened bottle of some kind of liquid. The bottle had a label with strange symbols on it. Ty opened it and filled the glass up; the liquid fizzed and smelled horrible. The boy held up the glass and looked at the picture. He then chugged the cup and looked at his sack. Ty gave an evil smile…time to test his luck.
