Book Of Demons Part 1: Arrival On Earth

by ShowNOOMercy

"Y…you destroy my home ." The boy choked, "Torture us until we beg ." Ty clenched his fists until they bled, "You lie to me, kill my father, kill my mother ." Ty was visibly shaking, "And now you've killed my friend…" Ty's KI started to rise, "You've ruined my life ." Ty slowly sat up and locked onto General Takeo . His eyes were glowing bright gold, "And now you're going to pay!"

On The Lookout

"He's still meditating?" Dende asked as he looked at Piccolo.

"Yes, he hasn't moved since he got here yesterday." Mr. Popo said. Piccolo was floating a few feet off the ground near the edge of the Lookout with his legs and arms crossed.

Inside Piccolo's Mind

"I've already told you I don't know anything about Vashmallians, or Herelaah, or Kamell, or anything the boys have told you." Kami said.

"I'm talking about their home planet, Sortos." Piccolo said. Just because Piccolo and Kami fused doesn't mean that their minds completely fused together. Kami was a 'Higher Power', and he knew things that he didn't want other people to know about. That's what makes this conversation possible.

"It was a planet. I know it existed, but I know nothing about it." Kami said. Piccolo concentrated on the two boys' energies.

"Have you ever sensed anything like that before?" Piccolo asked.

"No." Kami said, "…You don't trust them, do you?"

"Did you see what he did to Trunks? He nearly killed him without even breaking a sweat, and I feel like the older brother is hiding something." Piccolo growled.

"The younger was being controlled by the book. He did not wish to harm Trunks, but the young Half-Saiyan Prince pushed him too far and he got angry. The being inside that book sensed the anger and used Jaxon's body to attack Trunks." Kami said, "As for the Older Brother; you can't imagine the suffering and pain I sense from the boy. He's lost almost everything he cares about. All he has left is that strange creature named Taz and his little brother. He's lost almost all the hope he has, his pride has been critically hurt, he's been through many horrible experiences; I think he has a right to hide certain things." Kami said. He could tell Piccolo still didn't trust them, "Just give him some time, Piccolo. He'll open up. Right now he's just trying to learn how to trust people again."

"Hmph." Piccolo went back to studying Jaxon and Ty's energies.

With Vegeta And Trunks

Vegeta roughly dropped Trunks and walked a few feet away; the boy had done it this time. He was going to make sure he never sat down again. Trunks looked at his father and took a deep breath.

"Father, I'm…"

"Come here, boy." Vegeta growled as he turned around and crossed his arms. Trunks felt a bead of sweat roll down his face. Yup, his ass was about to be in a world of pain. "I said come!" Vegeta spat.

"Mmm…" Trunks looked at the ground as he slowly walked forwards. He couldn't out run it, he could only take it like a man; usually they weren't that bad. What Trunks didn't know was Vegeta was going to make this one of the worst spankings the boy had ever experienced. HIS SON just told someone the same thing he was told while working for Frieza. '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'. Sure, the story was that a giant meteor hit Planet Vegeta and destroyed the whole thing, but there were rumors and doubts by many of Frieza's men. Some believed that it was something else; hell, some even guess it was Frieza himself, and when he finally learned the truth from Frieza himself on Planet Namek, that evil piece of shit told him the exact same thing Trunks said to Ty. Vegeta looked down at his son and grinded his teeth. He slowly took of his glove and bent down on one knee; Trunks's eyes widened. "I…I'm in trouble, aren't I?" The boy gulped. Vegeta simply nodded his head before he grabbed the boy, yanked his pants and boxers down, threw him over his knee, and brought his hand down. Slap!

With The Z Warriors

Jaxon looked at the ground as several tears ran down his cheek, "I'm…I'm really sorry." The boy sniffed.

"It's ok Jaxon, we know you didn't mean it." Krillin said.

"Trunks can me a jerk sometimes, it's mostly because of his father." Yamcha said.

"…Is…is Ty ok?" The boy asked.

"I think we should give your brother some space so he can cool off." Goku said as he helped Gohan up.

"Man Jaxon, that was a hard punch." Gohan said as he rubbed the bump on his head.

"Ah ha ha ha ha haaa…" Jaxon laughed evilly as his eyes glowed red. They went back to normal and he shot a death stare at the Book, "Stop doing that!" The boy hissed, "Oh lighten up Book Keeper, I'm just having a little fun. I'm making conversation, is that so wrong?" Jaxon laughed, "You almost killed Trunks! How is that 'having fun'?" Jaxon growled, "He insulted your dead parents; you remember that day, don't y…enough!" Jaxon screamed, "I…I don't wana remember, I don't." Jaxon dropped the Book and backed away several feet. The Book rose into the air and floated back into Jaxon's hand, "P…please, I'm sorry." Jaxon sniffed as a tear ran down his cheek, "Please don't hurt me."

"It's ok." Goku smiled as he knelt down in front of the boy. He wrapped his arms around the boy and Jaxon began to relax, "We get it, the book makes you do these things, it's not your fault." After about a minute, Goku let go and ruffled the boy's hair, "Why don't you and Goten go and play for a bit?"

"Ok." Jaxon said quietly. He noticed Taz walking out of the house, "Taz, come."

"Rah." Taz grunted as he walked over to the boy.

"Transform." Jaxon sighed.

"Grah!" Taz transformed into his lizard-alien form and everyone except for Jaxon took a step back.

"Lose the spikes." Jaxon said. Taz wiggled around for a moment and the spikes on his back retracted back into his body. "Do you wana ride?" Jaxon asked as he looked at Goten.

"…Me?" Goten asked.

"Yea, do you wana ride?" Jaxon asked.

"…Is it safe?" Goten asked.

"Sometimes you just gotta take some risks and have some fun." Jaxon smiled.

"Uhh…" Goten glanced at his father who seemed ok with the idea, "Ok." Goten smiled as he slowly approached the beast.

"You don't have to be scared, he likes you." Jaxon said

"I'm not scared." Growled Goten. Everyone was watching him, which meant it was time to act Saiyan and Tough; something Goten found to be hard most of the time. Goten got within a foot of Taz and stopped; he was scared.

"Tell you what, I'll ride'em with you." Jaxon said as he climbed on. Goten relaxed just a little bit; it wouldn't be as scary if he had someone with him, right? "Try not to go too fast Taz, Goten's new at this." Jaxon said as he held out his arm and helped Goten on. The Half Saiyan held onto Jaxon tight and prayed that he didn't die.

"Shouldn't you two wear helmets?" Chi Chi asked nervously.

"Alright Taz, go!" Jaxon said.

Whoosh! "Wow, that thing has some speed!" Goku laughed.

15 Years Ago

"Hmph." Heinrich grunted as he, for the 100th time, tried to take the frakking key off of his neck.

"Well, you'll be happy to know that we figured it out." Heinrich stood up and bowed as Herelaah walked into the room, "Rise." Herelaah said as he held out his hand, "Thanks to the pictures you took in the temple, we now know the password to free anyone from the Key."

"Excellent, Holy One." Heinrich said.

"It seems that, like the Legend of the Book, the Key must also have a keeper. He who touches the Key must Guard it, but unlike the Book, the Key may be passed on through a password." Herelaah snapped his finger and a Guard handed Heinrich a piece of paper, "Say this."

"Ego hoc quod volenti mutuari Kamell claustra custodiunt. Sciens iam non sum ego uerba custodi claustra." Heinrich read it slowly. The key glowed silver for a few seconds and then stopped.

"Now, hand me the Key." Herelaah said. Heinrich took the Key off of his neck and held it out. The moment Herelaah touched the Key, it went around his neck. "There is also another method." Herelaah said, "If the Key Keeper dies, the murderer will take the Key."

"Good to know, my Lord." Heinrich said.

"It should also be noted that because of you, we now have a way of finding the Book of Kamell." Herelaah added.

"…How so, my Lord?" Heinrich asked.

"If we get within range, the Key will guide us to the Book." Herelaah said as he walked towards the door, "We will search every planet until we find it. Long Live The Vashmall." Herelaah left the room.

Present Day

"Waaaaaah!" Goten screamed as Taz ran with astonishing speed. Just then, Taz stopped and Goten was thrown off the beast.

Crash! Goten crashed into a tree and hit the ground.

"Uh oh." Jaxon gulped as he jumped off Taz and ran after his 'friend'. Jaxon used that word lightly because he'd only known the boy for a few days, but he had been really nice to him since he got here, so he could technically call the boy his 'friend'.

"Oww." Goten slowly rubbed his head.

"You ok Goten?" Jaxon asked as he bent down beside the boy.

"That was so fun!" Goten giggled as he rolled over onto his back, "Let's do that again!" Goten looked up at Jaxon who had a terrified look on his face, "Jaxon?" Goten sat up and turned his head to where Jaxon was looking at; it was a very large ship parked in the middle of the forest, "Whoa, what's that?" Goten got up and ran towards the ship.

"Goten, no!" Jaxon yelped, bringing Goten to an abrupt halt.

"Why not?" Goten asked as he turned to his 'friend'. Goten used that term lightly because other than Trunks, he didn't have any other friends. He had Gohan, but he was his brother, and he had the other Z Warriors, but they were all grownups, and he had Marron, but she didn't really have any super powers, and girls were icky. But Jaxon liked to play with him, and he was really nice, so he could technically call the boy his 'friend'.

"Th…that's a Vash…Vashmallian Sh…Ship!" Jaxon backed away in fear.

"…Vashmall?" Goten asked as he turned to the ship, "I don't sense anyone inside." Goten got serious, "Do you?"

"N…no, but…but they might be hiding their K…KI." Jaxon shook.

"Well…" Something about an Alien Space Ship made Goten excited, "Let's go check it out." The boy smiled. Ordinarily he would be scared, but seeing how weak the Vashmall had been so far, and the only thing he had to watch out for were their weapons, his 'Saiyan' side was in the mood for a little excitement and adventure.

"Are you c…crazy?" Jaxon asked as he got behind Taz.

"Don't be such a baby." Goten smiled 'So this is what it's like to be Trunks!' The boy thought, "Tell you what, I'll protect you." Goten smiled as he powered up. Jaxon slowly relaxed and walked over to the boy.

"Fine." Jaxon gulped, "T…Taz, c…come." Taz quickly followed the boy, still in his lizard form. The door of the ship was open, which made Jaxon worry even more. He reached into his pocket and his sweat dropped; he didn't have his gun. It must have fallen out of his pocket while he was riding Taz.

"Neat." Goten chirped, "These are nothing like the Spaceships Aunt Bulma builds." The ship was half the size of Capsule Corp's main dome building. It was covered in strange symbols and markings. There was some rustling in the trees and Goten felt Jaxon's tight grip on his shoulder, "Relax, it's just the wind." Goten smiled as he slowly walked onto the ship. Jaxon glanced at the Book; it wasn't talking, it wasn't even laughing. It was times like this that Jaxon hated the Book more than anything. The Book knew he hated when he was alone and when things were really quiet, and it was watching him suffer. Jaxon grabbed onto Goten's other shoulder with his other hand and was visibly shaking. The Book of Kamell floated close to Jaxon's chest. The two boys, and whatever Taz is, walked onto the ship and the door shut behind them, "Oww! Jaxon, that hurts." Goten winced; Jaxon was squeezing Goten's shoulders as hard as he could.

"I…I d…don't like this G…Goten. Me and…and…and my b…brother have b…bad memories on th…these ships." Jaxon shook.

"Let's just look around for a minute." Goten said. He felt like Trunks; the stronger and braver fighter who was the leader of the group. Taz slowly changed back to normal and kept close to Jaxon. Goten took an ID card off of one of the tables and examined it; it was similar to the ones used to get around Capsule Corp labs. The Half-Saiyan walked up to one of the doors and opened it; it was empty. "What is this? A closet?" Goten asked.

"P…prison Cell." Jaxon shook.

"Well where's the Prisoner?" Goten asked as he covered his nose. It smelled really bad in the room.

"I…I d…don't know. G…Goten, c…c…can we p…please leave?" Jaxon was trembling with fear.

"Come on, just a little more." Goten said. What he, Jaxon, and Taz didn't see was that the 'Prisoner' of the Cell who had been holding onto the ceiling had just quietly crawled out of the room, and it was hungry.

With Vegeta And Trunks

"Hmph." Vegeta turned around and crossed his arms as his son covered his mouth while he lay on his stomach; the boy's face was bright red, his eyes filled with tears, his pants half down, his ass was bright red, he had almost been afraid that his father wasn't going to stop. The first five were easy, but then ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty five, by twenty seven Trunks was sobbing and begging for his father to stop, but Vegeta was going to get his point across no matter how badly it hurt his son, "Pull your pants up." The Saiyan Prince growled. Trunks quickly pulled up his pants and turned his head away from his father; hands down, one of the worst spankings of his life. Vegeta felt like giving the boy two-hundred more spankings, but he had to control his anger, "What the fuck is wrong with you, you little brat?" Vegeta lost it and grabbed his son by the front of his shirt and held him at eye level, "Do you think you're funny? That you're some kind of hot shot with all those smart-ass remarks? You're not, you're just a little jackass show doesn't know when to shut the fuck up!" Vegeta roared; Trunks was visibly shaking.

Slap! Trunks bit his lip in an attempt to keep from crying any more.

"I've had it with your smart ass remarks! I can't believe you said that, my son, a Saiyan, a Prince, do…do you even think before you open that mouth of yours? Well? Answer me!" Vegeta screamed.

"Hah…" Trunks opened his mouth to speak, but he was so afraid, he couldn't do it.

"Boy, you really did it this time! No TV, no sweets, no game station, I'm going to make your life a living hell!" Vegeta screamed.

"Mmm…" Trunks bit his lip and tried to keep his 'cool'.

"…You don't even know what you did, do you?" Vegeta grunted.

"I…I…I…" Slap! Yup, Vegeta was going to get his message across even if it killed both of them.

With Jaxon And Goten…And Taz

Goten was loving this; the ship was so cool and there was so much alien stuff! He could hear Jaxon humming something that sounded really familiar.

"What song is that?" Goten asked

"…B…big B…brother sings it t…to me whenever I'm…I'm scared." Jaxon stuttered. Goten turned to the boy and gave a slight smile.

"If you wana leave, then we can leave." The boy sighed.

"Thank you G…Goten." Jaxon smiled.

"Kommen Sie in, Heinrich."

"Ah!" Jaxon grabbed onto Goten and began to shake rapidly.

"Heinrich, kommen Sie in; reagieren." Said a voice on a radio.

"Relax, it's just this radio thing." Goten said as he walked over to the device; he reached to pick it up, but Jaxon grabbed his arm and squeezed, "Oww." Goten pulled away.

"They're calling for Heinrich, don't talk to them." Jaxon said.

"All right, sorry." Said Goten quietly.

On A Large Ship Far Away From Earth

"We have lost all contact with Heinrich and his squad, which means the life forms of this planet are hostile and are most likely holding the two boys prisoner; they will probably try to kill them. We are not going to let that happen. Pilot, set a course for Earth, and send word to the rest of our ships; prepare yourselves for battle. Long live the Vashmall." General Takeo smiled evilly.

With Jaxon, Goten, And Taz

"C…come on G…Goten, I wana leave." Jaxon shook.

"What do you think I'm trying to do?" Goten gulped, "This place is a lot bigger on the inside." Just then, they heard something drop onto the floor and they both jumped.

"Wh…What was that?" Jaxon shrieked while practically hugging Goten.

"Rah." Taz grunted as he stared at the two.

"It was just Taz." Goten laughed as he took a deep breath.

"Darn it Taz, don't do that." Jaxon laughed as he grabbed his chest.

"…You really don't like this place, do you?" Goten asked as he looked at the boy.

"N…no, very b…bad memories." Jaxon shook, "Th…this…this…th…this…" Jaxon's heart sped up and a tear ran down his cheek, "This is the…the ship…th…that c…captured me…my b…brother and…and…and my p…parents. Th…the same exact ship." The boy sniffed.

"The same ship?" Goten asked in shock.

"Mhmm." Jaxon nodded as more tears ran down his cheek, "And…and they…they tortured us, chained us up, and told us that we were going to die and it was all…my…fault." Jaxon broke down in tears, "But…but my brother said it wasn't my fault, he…he said…he said it was his." Jaxon choked, "And…and mom and d…dad said it wasn't his fault, but he wouldn't listen. He…he said it was all his fault."

"Come on, let's go back to Capsule Corp." Goten said as he wrapped his arm around the boy's shoulder. They continued to try and find the exit.

With Vegeta And Trunks

Ok, now Trunks couldn't feel his ass, or his left cheek. The boy had a large red handprint on the side of his face.

"Let's try this One. More. Time." Vegeta growled, "Why are you in trouble?"

"C…c…c…cause I…I made fun of Ty and J…Jaxon?" Trunks sniffed.

"For the love of…" That wasn't the answer Vegeta was looking for, "No, you're in trouble because not only did you make fun of Ty and Jaxon, you're in trouble because of what you said." Vegeta growled.

"B…but father, I…I don't understand." Trunks quickly wiped his eyes.

"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." Vegeta snarled. It had been repeating itself in his head ever since he heard it, "You know who Frieza is, right boy?" Vegeta asked.

"Y…yes sir." Trunks shook.

"What happened to the Saiyan Race?" Vegeta asked.

"Frieza k…killed them." Trunks said.

"What happened to my parents?" Vegeta asked.

"Frieza k…killed them." Trunks said.

"Are Saiyans weak?" Vegeta asked.

"N…no sir." Trunks said.

"My parents were killed, my planet was destroyed, we tried to fight Frieza, but he was too strong, does that mean the Saiyans are weak too? Huh?" Vegeta asked, "I was killed by Frieza, does that mean you're calling me weak? Huh?"

"N…n…no s…sir." Trunks said.

Slap! "It sure sounds like it!" Vegeta hissed.

"I…I'm sorry." The boy choked.

"You think Saiyans are weak? Is that it? Are you calling my race weak, Trunks?" Vegeta yelled.

"No!" Trunks yelled.

"That boy and his brother have been laughed at and humiliated on every planet they have been to, and you're no better than those people, Trunks. I would never expect you, a Saiyan Prince, to say something like that. I was killed in my fight with Majin Buu, does that make you weak? Kakarott was killed by Cell, does that make Gohan weak? I…I don't know what to say anymore." Vegeta sighed as he dropped the boy.

"…I'm sorry, dad." The boy said quietly.

"You will apologize to both of them, or else I will…I…I'll make your punishment a thousand times worse, understand?" Spat Vegeta.

"Yes sir." Trunks sniffed as he looked at the ground.

"Now get out of my sight. Go cry like a baby somewhere else, go do whatever, but you have until midnight to apologize to both boys, and I will check to make sure you apologized." Vegeta growled. Trunks slowly took off into the air; he flew far away from his father so that he could cry alone. Maybe he shouldn't have said that to Ty, it was a little mean.

In Heinrich's Ship

"Goten, I want to get out of this ship, NOW!" Jaxon growled as more tears ran down his cheek.

"I'm trying." Goten said as he continued to look around. He felt Jaxon let go of his shoulder, "I'm serious Jaxon, I'm trying to…get…" Goten looked around, "Jaxon?" Jaxon was gone. He looked at Taz who was leaning back and taking a crap, "Taz, where's Jaxon?"

"G…" Taz stopped himself and looked around, "Grah?" He started to sniff around, "Rah!" He immediately transformed into his lizard form and gave Goten a look; somehow Goten knew what he was saying.

"Grrr!" Goten clenched his fists and powered up to Super Saiyan, "Jaxon?" Goten yelled as he tried to sense the boy's energy. He was having a hard time sensing anything inside this ship; even Taz's energy was hard to detect, "Jaxon I'm coming!" Goten yelled as he ran through the ship. The two stopped in their tracks and stared in shock.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! "What the?" Goten slowly walked forwards and tilted his head. Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! "…It's…it's…the Book." Goten said in complete shock. The Book of Kamell was trying to get through a large metal door by repeatedly ramming into it. It stopped and turned towards Goten, "Uhh Hi." The boy said nervously. Bam! "What? You wana go in?" Goten asked.

…Bam! Bam! Bam!

"Ok, hold on." Goten said as he took out his access card. He opened the door and the book flew inside, "Follow it Taz! It's going to Jaxon!"

With Trunks

Trunks found a nice quiet spot in the middle of the woods where he could regain his composure. His dad had never punished him like that, at least not over some simple words. He wiped his tears and rubbed his swollen cheek. On Earth, this would be considered Child Abuse; on Planet Vegeta, his father called it parenting. Saiyans were tough, so they needed 'tough parenting'. A time-out didn't always work for a Human/Saiyan Hybrid such as himself. Sometimes his father needed to beat some sense into him, but he was used to it. What Trunks couldn't understand was why his father 'blew-up' over some simple words. He remembered what his father said about Frieza and how he destroyed Planet Vegeta; maybe his father had taken his words personally. Maybe he took offense because he shared a lot of the same experiences as Ty. They both lost their planet when they were young, they lost their parents, and they were treated like crap and attacked by everyone they met. Trunks lost his train of thought and stood up. He slowly walked forwards and bent down, "…It's a gun." The boy said as he picked up the gun and aimed it into the air. He fired a single shot and his eyes widened; it was one of the plasma guns that the Vashmall used. Trunks got in a fighting stance and looked around, "Alright you pieces of shit, show yourselves!" Trunks snarled. He closed his eyes and searched out every KI in the area. He opened his eyes and turned, "Goten?" He could barely sense him, but that was Goten all right. He took a step forwards and tripped on something, "Damn it!" Trunks snarled as he charged up a KI blast and aimed it at the rock stupid enough to trip the Prince of all Saiyans. He lowered his hand and frowned; it was a large track made by an animal like a bear, or a dinosaur, or Taz in his lizard form. Trunks's brain went into overdrive and he took off into the air. He had a bad feeling about this.

With Goten, Taz, And The Book Of Kamell

"Now which way?" The Book was just floating there, "Which way?" Goten yelled.

Smack! Goten hit the ground and rubbed his nose, "Oww, what was that for?" The boy whined.

'Where is he Kamell?' Morgana growled.

'Shut it woman, I'm trying to find him. The technology on this ship makes it very hard to detect energy.' Kamell growled.

'I can sense the Half-Saiyan just fine, why is that?' Morgana snarled.

'Because he's a Super Saiyan! A Stupid Super Monkey!' Kamell snarled, 'His energy is legend, Jaxon is a rat!'

"Jaxon!" Goten called out, "Jaxon!"

With Jaxon

"Rah." The alien that took Jaxon growled. It had grey skin, long sharp teeth, it was very skinny, eight arms, four legs, three eyes, two long tongues, and a partridge in a pear tree…sorry. It took Jaxon into a large room and began to rip open lockers. The lockers were filled with weapons; it was the ship's armory. It looked down at the unconscious boy and began to drool. As soon as he took got off the ship, he would eat…he couldn't do anything with that Book or the Saiyan snooping around. Yes, this thing is smart, hungry, and well-armed…cause he has eight arms.

With Goten

"Jaxon!" Goten screamed as a tear ran down his cheek. This was all his fault; if he had listened to Jaxon and not gone onto the ship, this wouldn't have happened. The kid was afraid and he just called him a baby, some friend he was. Just then, he felt someone (or something) place a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and punched the alien as hard as he could. The alien smashed through the wall, and Goten launched after the alien and grabbed him by the front of his Green GI and punched him in the face again, "Where is he?" Goten snarled as he repeatedly punched the purple-haired boy in the face.

"Goten! Stop! It's me! Please!" The Alien screamed. Technically, alien was half correct; alien meaning Saiyan, the other half being Human.

"T…Trunks?" Goten gulped. He let fear take control of his mind and body. He was afraid that Jaxon was dead, and it would be all his fault. Jaxon was afraid of this ship, and now that Jaxon had vanished, he was afraid of the ship. He couldn't sense anything in this ship, he couldn't sense the outside world; it was making him dizzy, making him even more afraid. In short, Goten no longer felt like Trunks, he felt like Goten, "Trunks…I…I…" Goten was powered up to Super Saiyan, Trunks was not.

"…Ok, maybe I deserved that." Trunks mumbled; he had been a jerk to the two boys since they got here. And that last thing he said to Ty about his parents, he didn't mean it. He knew what it was like to lose his father, and that was only for two days before he was brought back by the Dragon Balls. He grabbed Goten's arm and was helped up, "Goten, where's Jaxon?" Trunks ignored the pain in his face.

"I…I…I don't know." Goten sniffed, "One minute we…we were exploring the ship, and J…Jaxon was afraid, and he…he wanted to leave, but…but I didn't, and…and…then he was gone…and the Book…and Taz…and…and…"

"Goten!" Trunks yelled, "Relax God Damn it! You're a Saiyan, act like one!" The boy snarled. Goten looked at the ground and bit his lip. Trunks's face softened and he let out a long sigh, "I really am a Jackass." Trunks said quietly as he placed a hand on Goten's shoulder, "I didn't mean that." Trunks said.

"Rah!" At that moment, several things happened.

'It's him!" Kamell yelled as he turned the Book and launched forwards.

'Stop!' Morgana yelled.

'What woman?' Kamell hissed as he stopped; his eyes widened. The alien had one gun held against Jaxon's hand. He had another gun aimed at the Book. He had a gun pointed at Goten and one pointed at Trunks. He had had one aimed at Taz and another gun moving around in case anyone tried anything. He had two hands wrapped around Jaxon tightly.

"Rah!" The alien snarled as he motioned for everyone to move out of his way.

"Grrr." Taz growled as he backed away.

"Yuh!" The Alien hissed as he aimed at Trunks and Goten; the two boys backed away.

"Trunks, we have to help him." Goten sniffed as the alien backed towards the door.

"Don't worry." Trunks whispered, "…I'll get'em." The alien kicked down the door with one of its' four legs and went out of the ship. Taz, the Book, Goten, and Trunks slowly followed. As they exited the ship, Trunks powered up to Super Saiyan and inadvertently scared the alien. It put Jaxon's leg in its' mouth while it took aim with his final two hands.

"Trunks." Goten whispered.

"I know." Trunks mumbled as he phased out of sight.

"Huh?" The alien gasped as he looked around.

Bam! The alien released Jaxon from its' mouth and hit the ship. The alien didn't like that very much because he got up and opened fire on Trunks. Trunks managed to dodge all of the bullets, but he didn't have an opening for an attack. The Book floated back into Jaxon's hand, and Goten and Taz ran over to the boy.

"Jaxon wake up!" Goten rapidly shook the boy as another tear ran down his cheek.

"Goten! I could use some help over here!" Trunks yelled.

"Rah ha ha ha ha haaaaa!" The alien laughed as he continued to fire, "Ah!" The alien almost fell over as one of his arms was broken off.

"…Hey dad." Trunks gave a nervous smile.

"Shut up." Vegeta growled as he launched at the alien and began to rip it into pieces. The alien screamed and begged in some kind of alien language, but Vegeta didn't stop until he broke the creature's neck; thereby killing it. Vegeta stood up and walked over to his son, "What happened to your face, boy?" The man growled.

"I sensed Goten after I left you, so I went to this ship, and when I got inside, the alien caught me off guard and well…" Trunks trailed off; no need to get Goten in trouble.

"It was a stupid mistake!" Vegeta hissed as he pushed passed the boy and walked over to Jaxon. His leg was bleeding from when the alien bit down on his leg and held him in his mouth. He also took a nasty blow to the head when the alien knocked him out, "What happened?" Vegeta snarled.

"Jaxonandmeandtazwenttoplaybutthenwefoundthisshipa ndjaxonwasafraidbutiwantedtoexploreandthenthealien andthebookandtrunksand…"

"Shut up!" Vegeta screamed; Goten covered his mouth and looked at the ground, "Calmly. Tell. Me. What. Happened!" Vegeta growled; he was still furious because of what Trunks said, and let's face it; Vegeta is always in a bad mood.

"I…I…I…I…"

"Come on Kakarott Junior, out with it!" Vegeta snarled as he inspected Jaxon's leg.

"I'm…I'm sorry." Goten sniffed.

"Grrr." Vegeta was beginning to lose his patience.

"Dad." Trunks stepped in and sat down next to his friend, "Just calm down Goten."

"T…Ty?" Jaxon moaned as he opened his eyes.

"What happened?" Vegeta growled as he helped the boy sit up.

"…We were riding Taz, and then…it's hard…to…" Jaxon's eyes shot wide open and he grabbed Vegeta's arm, "Th…th…that's a…a Vashmallian…that's Heinrich's ship." The boy shook.

"Let's get him back to Capsule Corp." Vegeta said. The boy was having trouble remembering what happened, which can be explained by the bump on his head.

"Hey Jaxon?" Trunks cleared his throat.

"…What?" Jaxon gave Trunks a mixed look.

"I'm really sorry for what I said back at Capsule Corp, and for anything else mean I've said, I didn't mean it." Trunks said quietly. Jaxon just stared at him; that was a first. Nobody had ever apologized to him after they called him a name, or insulted his family, or nearly killed him, or other things that may or may not have occurred on Planet Voon. "…I can be a jerk sometimes." Trunks looked at the ground and blushed. He hated apologizing in front of people, especially his dad, but he felt like he owed his father an apology too, "…Are you still mad at me?"

"…No, apology accepted." Jaxon said quietly. Was he still mad, yes, but he was happy the boy apologized. Just then, his eyes began to glow red causing Trunks to move behind his father, "But insult them again and I will snap your neck." Jaxon growled in a deep demonic voice. His eyes went back to normal and he placed his hand over the wound on his head.

"Let's go." Vegeta growled as he lifted Jaxon under his arm, "One of you grab the mutt."

"Hey dad?" Trunks asked quietly.

"Hn." Vegeta stopped, but didn't bother to turn.

"…I'm sorry for what I said, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." Trunks said quietly. Vegeta grabbed his son by the front of his shirt and held him at eye level.

"Let's get something straight, boy!" Vegeta snarled, "Saiyans don't have 'feelings', we don't have the same pathetic emotions that humans possess." Trunks was visibly shaking, but to the boy's surprise, his father gently set him down, but kept a firm hold on his shirt; Trunks looked up. The boy didn't have to, he wasn't told to, and he didn't need to apologize, but he did it anyways, and though he would never admit it in a million years, he was happy that he did, "You are to apologize to his brother when we get back to the house and then go to your room until dinner, and don't think for one minute that you're getting out of this punishment, do you understand me?" Vegeta snarled.

"Yes sir." Trunks said quietly.

"What?" Vegeta snarled.

"Yes sir!" Trunks yelped. Vegeta slowly let go of his son's shirt.

"Good, now you can carry that mutt back to the house, and don't give me this 'I'm afraid of dogs' crap. You're a Saiyan, now start acting like one!" Vegeta hissed as he took off into the air. Trunks and Goten both looked at each other; Goten crossed his arms and gave an evil smile.

"Yea Trunks, you're a Saiyan, start acting like one." Goten laughed before launching into the air. Trunks blushed bright red. That was Goten's way of getting 'payback' for what he said earlier.

"Grah!" Taz grunted as he transformed back into his normal form, leaned back, and took a dump.

"Gross." Trunks mumbled as he grabbed the alien 'thing', and took off into the air.
