Chapter 15: Resting Before Training!
"Gotenks! Idiots! Where are you?!" Goharo shouted while flying around the world. He still couldn't believe he lost the idiot. Piccolo was right, they are smug. "Listen, if you come out now, I won't beat you to a pulp." He landed in a rocky area and found Gotenks just laying on a rock. "Figures." He walked up to Gotenks as he sat up.
"It's about time you found me." Gotenks replied. "I guess I'm just too fast for you." Goharo hated Gotenks attitude. All smugish and stuff. He'll be happy if he got to teach him a lesson or two.
"Never in a million years you'll be faster then me." Goharo said.
"Oh yeah? Then how did you lose me?" Gotenks asked while smirking. Here he goes again, acting smug.
"Gee I don't know." Goharo replied sarcastically. "Maybe because you threw sand in my eyes and blasted off." Gotenks laughed. Jerk.
"And here I thought you'll be the stronger one." Gotenks laughed. Goharo 'hmphed' before chuckling evily.
"I AM the stronger one." Goharo chuckled. "I'm the brains and muscle while you're the lazy ass who sits around all day." They kept staring at each other with evil smirks. Before they could throw more insults at each other, Piccolo appeared. "What took ya so long?" Piccolo was out of breath to say anything. "Damn. Did you run around the world or something? You're out of breath."
"I've already been around the world eight times while this jerk only been around it six." Gotenks pointed to Goharo, who huffed. "So, I've been relaxing a little."
"You BOTH are wasting energy...and time." Piccolo panted.
"I don't need a lot of time to beat Majin Buu." chuckled Gotenks. "Can't you see how strong I am?" Goharo thinks Gotenks's ego is bigger then the lookout.
"Didn't you see how I still struggled against Buu, even in super saiyan?" reminded Goharo. "If I'm correct, we both have the same power level as a super saiyan. If you fight him now, you'll be killed." He doesn't know why he's saying this. He'll still think he's stronger then him.
"Yeah, but like I said, I'm the stronger one." Gotenks was about to fly away, until Goharo grabbed his ankle. "Hey! Let me go!"
"No! You're not making the same mistake twice." Goharo replied. Gotenks struggled to get free.
"I. Said. Let. Me. GO!" Gotenks used all his power to fight out of Goharo's grasp. Both of them struggled.
"Fine! I'll let you go!" Goharo then slammed Gotenks in the rocks, making a huge crater.
"Goharo, what did you do?!" Piccolo demanded. His reply was a POP! And Junior and Taro were back to normal. Once the dust settled near Gotenks, Goten and Trunks were also back to normal. "That's it! You four follow me now!" Piccolo flew away as the four children followed.
"Again?! I tell you guys not to run off and you do it again?!" Piccolo shouted. "I even gave you a speech so that you won't run off! Where were you planning on going anyway?!" Taro and Trunks were silent.
"We were planning to go door to door and sing people Christmas carols." Junior replied as Goten snickered. Piccolo hit them on the head.
"No time for games! There won't be a Christmas as long as Majin Buu's still alive!" Piccolo was then hit in the head by Chi Chi.`
"No one lays a finger on my baby and grandchild but me!" Chi Chi shouted. Piccolo rubbed his head.
"Piccolo, we're sorry." Taro replied. "But when we fused, we uh, became a little too cocky." Goten, Trunks, Junior, and Taro laughed nervously. Piccolo huffed.
"Enough is Enough. Come on boys, let's get you cleaned up." Chi Chi replied. She then took the four kids to Bulma, and took care of them.
"You four! Playtime is over, time to get back to work." Piccolo ordered.
"Whoa Whoa Whoa! Now?! We just got back!" Junior complained. "We only took a sip of water!"
"I'm still thirsty!" whined Goten.
"Your too uptight! Just leave it to us! We're strong enough to beat that guy already!" Trunks shouted. Taro nodded in agreement.
"Why you little...I've fought with all three of your fathers in combat! Since before you were born! You four don't have a clue! Even the smallest bit of power can mean the difference between winning and losing." Piccolo replied, quite angrily. Chi Chi and Bulma marched up to Piccolo as he sweated nervously.
"How dare you! Goten, Junior, Trunks, and Taro are boys, not men! Understand?" Chi Chi waved her finger at Piccolo. Piccolo knew not to make Chi Chi angry.
"But, they need to train." Piccolo reasoned. He never felt so nervous in his life.
"No!" Bulma also waved her finger at Piccolo. "They need to rest!" Bulma and Chi Chi kept yelling at Piccolo, until he panicked.
"Alright! Perhaps it is a good idea. You four will resume our training after you take a nap." Piccolo nervously replied.
"I get the big fluffy pillow!" Trunks and Goten ran inside while Junior and Taro walked behind them. Junior put his hands behind his head, in a Son fashion.
"Not so fast Goten and Junior! You both need to take baths first. You're all sweaty from your last fight. Aren't you?" Chi Chi said.
"Okay Grandma/Mom!" Junior and Goten replied.
"You too Trunks and Taro!" Bulma also said. Taro and Trunks were confused.
"We will mom!" Trunks replied, hiding his confusion.
"What a nice snack." Junior rubbed his stomach. Goten bulged in agreement.
"I need to take a nap before I fall asleep." Goten yawned as Bulma and Chi Chi cleaned up their mess.
"Race ya to the bed!" Junior ran towards the bed as the other three followed.
"Hold on Trunks! You two need to take a bath first." Bulma replied.
"Same goes for you Goten and Junior." Chi Chi added.
"Okay." Junior replied.
"Let's take a bath together." Goten pushed Junior towards the bathroom.
"EEWW! No way!" Junior protested.
"It's okay Junior, You and Goten used to take baths when you were little. I even took some pictures." Junior turned red from embarrassment. Goten laughed.
"Alright here's the deal. This is my half of the tub, and that's yours." Junior pointed. He was trying to stay away from Goten as far as possible.
"Oh come on Junior." Goten moved forward as Junior panicked.
"I said stay back you!" Junior splashed Goten. Goten wiped the water out of his eyes and splashed back. "Oh yeah?" Junior and Goten kept splashing each other as water fell out of the tub.
"Hey! Don't get the floor wet." Trunks and Taro were on the other side of the room, holding a towel. They faced the wall, not even bothering to look at Goten and Junior in the bath. Goten and Junior put their arms on the side of the tub with their chins resting on their arms.
"Sorry Mister grumpy pants." Junior replied, making Goten laugh. "Move your foot." Junior kicked Goten's foot as Goten apologized.
"At least I don't get to bathe with another boy." Trunks shot back. Junior and Goten looked at each other and shrugged.
"We're family Trunks, that's why." Goten replied. "Like my mom said, me and Junior used to take baths together when we were little." Junior, again, turned red from embarrassment. He doesn't even remember taking a bath with him.
"Could you guys hurry up? I smell over here." Taro said impatiently. "It's bad enough I gotta take a bath with him."
"Who said you had to take a bathe with me?!" Trunks shouted while turning red.
"Your mom did. And I don't wanna make her mad." Taro replied.
"My mom always treats you like you're her second son." Trunks sighed. "What's the deal with that?"
"I don't know. Just, hurry up and bath so we could go to bed." Taro replied. Trunks yawned in agreement.
"Stop Icarus that tickles!" Junior laughed in his sleep as Krillin sat on the wall, waiting for them to get up. "No, not the test. Grandma would be mad if you mess it up."
"He's so much like Gohan." Krillin sighed. Trunks's foot accidentally kicked Goten in the nose. Goten sat straight up, while holding his nose and accidentally elbowed Junior. Junior also shot up, rubbing his forehead and hit Taro with his back. Taro shot up and accidentally punched Trunks.
"OW!" All four of them moaned.
"Hey you guys! We've gotta go to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train!" Krillin said. Their response was a yawn. "I SAID GET UP NOW!" Goten and everyone else were wide awake. After putting their gis on, they walked outside on the balcony.
"That's Majin Buu?" Taro asked in disbelief while looking at the new Buu.
"If it is, he must be on a really big diet." Goten replied. This Buu was a lot skinnier then the last Buu. And a lot taller.
"Make no mistake," Piccolo said, catching the four kids attention. "That is Majin Buu and his strength increased a lot. You boys need to understand, we're in a very grave situation, things have changed. For every minute out here you train six hours in the hyperbolic time chamber." Piccolo started to walk away with Krillin and Dende close behind. "Maybe that's enough time." Goten was about to follow, until he saw his mother walking towards Buu.
"Mom what're you doing?!" Goten asked. Junior's eyes widened.
"WHAT?!" both Piccolo and Junior asked. They quickly looked over the balcony to see Chi Chi walking up to Buu.
"Grandma! Stop!" Junior shouted to get Chi Chi's attention. It didn't work. She then slapped Buu on the head. She started to yell at Buu. Buu turned around and shot a beam at her, turning her to a egg. Buu then stepped on her.
"NOOOOO!" Junior and Goten cried.
"I'll get you you stupid beast!" Goten then started to jump off the balcony, until Junior stopped him. "Let me go!" Goten turned super as some tears fell from his cheeks. Junior looked down at the ground.
"Listen, I know how you feel. But, we need to focus. If you go down there, we'll be dead. When we go in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, you can take out all your anger. Understand?" Goten sniffed until he slowly nodded. Junior put an arm around Goten's shoulder. "I'll guide ya."
"Junior, promise me..." Goten sniffled.
"Promise you what?" Junior asked.
"Promise me that you'll never leave me. I don't want you to end up like Mom and Gohan." Goten replied.
"I promise."
