dragon ball unlocked potential [night time]
chapter 1
the star littered sky was beautiful as it shined down over west city at capsule Corp, goten and trunks the youngest half saiyans sat in the yard staring up at the sky both the young boys mind were muddled after the events of bulma's birthday party aboard the super classy yacht. They thought they were strong, even stronger when they fused into gotenks. But it was clear that they were outclassed. "Man that cat guy was really strong even gotenks couldn't beat him" goten says breaking the quietness "i know last time we fused was when majin buu was evil though we were able to wear him down but he got the upper hand and he beat us" trunks replies "well at least dad was able to get that god transformation and beat him. well at least fight him until he got tired and left us alone heh heh hey trunks, I'd hate to admit it but i think we've um.. gotten weak" goten says closing one eye expecting his friend protest "y'know i hate to admit but you're right" to goten's surprise trunks agreed with him "after the events of majin buu we've become soft, i mean when was the last time we even trained?" Trunks asked "honestly i don't remember. but it's not our fault my mom is always telling me not too and you never bother to ask your dad" goten replies "yeah you're right we need to get stronger, we need to start training again" trunks says "easy for you to say my mom wont even allow me to do anything that involves fighting" goten replies "then will do it when they're not looking will plan a schedule for it everyday after school" but goten had a skeptical look no way they're gonna be able to pull this off. "don't give me that look it's gonna work lucky for us school doesn't open until the next two months plus, when school does reopen, whenever you come back from school just tell your mom that you're gonna hang out with me, i mean she's not going to be against it right" trunks deduced "will be doing this everyday right? So what if she starts questioning me then what?" goten asks still skeptical. "then tell her you're having study sessions with me i mean your mom's a sucker for those kind of things" trunks answers hoping his friend will agree. Goten ponders about it thinking it might not work but, "if we play our cards right this might actually work" goten complies which pleases trunks "see that's the spirit as long as we keep it subtle we win but there's one problem, who's is gonna train us?" trunks questions. the two boys ponder on who will train them, vegeta's on beerus' planet training and goku joined this morning, krillin is too busy with his job, gohan too, their last option is Mr. piccolo i mean he's the perfect candidate he's strict and disciplined, tough and demanding, strategic and tactical, he's the only one that can almost keep up with goku, gohan and vegeta he's the perfect teacher. so they both agree that piccolo will be their master they'll meet him tomorrow morning.
[next day 5:38am]
in a secluded mountain area, piccolo is seen meditating atop a small mountain levitating a chunk of it with him. his meditation is interrupted when he senses two familiar energies coming his way he opens his eye to see goten and trunks coming towards his home. At first he thinks they're probably passing by but to his surprise they touch down at his doorstep knocking on his door he questions why they wanted to see him, he sets himself straight and flies towards his house. "i don't think his home trunks" "too bad maybe we should come back later he'll probably be home by then" the boys were ready to leave until they hear someone land behind them turning around and it happens to be the person they were looking for. "morning Mr. piccolo" both boys greeted "any reason why you kids are up here so early?" piccolo questions while folding his arms "so for bothering but we were wondering if we could ask you something" goten apologizes "you see um... we were wondering if you could uh.."
"well spit it out what is it?" piccolo growled out in annoyance "we want you to train us, Mr. Piccolo" trunks declared surprising the Namekian at the boys' determination. this was the last thing he was expecting from the young saiyans. "Gohan and Krillin are too busy with their jobs, dad and Goku are on beerus' planet" Trunks continued "we would have asked tien and yamcha, but yamcha is not that strong and tien already has students at his dojo" Goten finished "you're always training right, can't we just join in?"
"Sorry but no" piccolo says which surprises the boys "oh come on please, we won't waste your time we need this" they begged "I've trained you once before and i see no reason to do so again. You both lack discipline though you might have potential but you two lack determination" piccolo scolded as he stared down the two half saiyans. "we are determined!" Trunks shouted. "we came here because we want to train! That fight dad had against lord beerus it made me feel something inside of me it made me want to fight like him, to become strong or even stronger than him" Goten continued "yeah me too i want to become stronger, i want to show my dad that i am a capable fighter, i want to make him proud" trunks declared "so please can you train us" the boys asked bowing their heads. They were clearly frustrated that's clear enough to the namekian. piccolo sighs "if i do this promise me you won't slack of cause the training is going to be tough and gruesome. If your going to quit when it gets too hard or you become bored you might as well fly home now" piccolo said surprised by the young boys' determination.
"we promise mr piccolo" both boys said in unison with fire in their eyes "well then we can start later" piccolo told them which excites the boys "alright this is gonna be awesome" Goten says as he flies home with trunks going in the opposite direction
[9:am]
piccolo watched as the boys were trading blows with each other he observed their fighting styles. Trunks style was just like his father but with his own, his movements were a mixture of karate and kickboxing. As for gotten, his fighting style was a mixture of his own and chichi it was obvious that gohan trained the boy in the piccolo style martial arts and chichi trained him with her own. The last time he saw chichi's fighting style was at the world martial arts tournament when she fought against goku. she was able to put up a good fight, though she lost it seems that her arts still lives on in her son
"Alright, you two. Take a moment to catch your breath, but don't get too comfortable. We still have a lot of work to do" piccolo says sternly' Boyh boys stop their sparring and flew towards him "alright I've seen how you two fight. though it's not bad but not good either" piccolo continues which makes the boys look in surprise and confusion "You both have incredible potential But power alone isn't enough. You need discipline, strategy and control." piccolo explains
'What do you mean Mr. piccolo" Goten asks curiously "Goten, your strength is impressive and your speed is remarkable. But you tend to rely too much on your instincts if you want to reach your full potential, you need to think more during a fight, anticipate your opponent's moves and adapt" piccolo explains to Goten "Got it. I'll work on that." Goten replies "And trunks, you're exceptionally skilled for your age you have a keen mind and a natural talent for combat but you can be overconfident never underestimate your opponent, no matter how strong you are" piccolo explains to trunks "I understand I'll be more careful" Trunks replies determined
"Remember, you both have the potential to be the strongest fighters in the universe but potential means nothing without hardwork and dedication. Now let' continue but first" piccolo stretched his hand at the boys before a golden beam shot at them shining them in a bright light, replacing their normal clothes with a new set of clothes. Trunks wore a blue gi with a black undershirt, red wristbands with a red belt and black boots. As for Goten, his gi was the same as his regular one but his gi was black instead of orange and his long sleeve undershirt was yellow instead of black along with a yellow belt. The moment the clothing materialized they groaned hunching over.
"woah they're really heavy." "they're weighted now let's begin." piccolo pivoted on his foot launching himself at them. stunned at the sudden attack, trunks was able to move out of the way but Goten couldn't even raise his arms up to defend himself as he flew across the wide lake cashing into the side of the mountain surrounding piccolo's home. trunks flew over to punch piccolo but was gut punched to the same spot Goten landed on. "this is gonna be a long day" he sighed to himself as he flew over to them
The days that passed were exhausting for the boys and weighed heavily on piccolo's patience to the point he almost told them to go home numerous times. But regardless, piccolo kept at it despite the lack of drive in the young saiyans. so the daily training began. each day, piccolo made sure that the boys had exhausted every ounce of energy in their bodies. Then once that was made clear they sparred until they were beaten and bruised and while they were gifted, they lacked the necessary experience of the namekian. But with the their potential, it was clear that they were learning. they were starting to fight better and think better and they've adapted quickly to the heavier weight of the clothes piccolo made for them. It had been two months since he had taken on the task of training the boys. From the outset, their potential had been evident. but now as he observed them, it was clear that their abilities far surpassed even his highest expectations. they had exceeded Gohan's power when he was their age, and their growth showed no signs of slowing.
with a final clash, Goten and Trunks separated, panting heavily. they floated back down to the ground "great work you two, but we need to talk" piccolo said as he floated towards them "I've been training you both for a while now, and your progress has been improving. your potential is far greater than i expected" "does that mean we can take a break?" Goten asks "No it means there's still more to learn but we're reaching the limits of what i can teach you" piccolo replies "what do you mean Mr. piccolo" Trunks asked. piccolo sighed "your potential far surpasses even Gohan's at his peak. there are techniques and levels of power i simply can't guide you through. you'll need someone stronger to take you to the next level
"but who are we gonna find that's gonna help us get stronger?" Goten asks [I can help with that] a loud voice shouted in Goten's head "Huh did you guys say something?" Goten asks wondering if it was trunks or piccolo "Uh no we didn't say anything" trunks answers confused [it was me, king kai] "oh you're my dad's friend, the one he goes to train with" gotten replies. Trunks looks at his friend confused but piccolo knew who he was talking to "wait are you talking to king kai?" piccolo asks "yeah it is. He said i should ask you if he can train us on his planet" Goten replies piccolo thinks about it. king kai has trained Goku in the past, so king kai would be the perfect option "sure why not it's probably best you two train under him he probably has more techniques and skills you can master" "but wait king kai, how are we gonna go to your planet? we don't know instant transmission and dad's not here" Goten asks [don't worry Goten, just gather all the dragon balls and wish me and my friends back to life. Your father promised he'd do it but he forgets when he gets home. So just gather all the dragon balls and wish me back to life. also there's another wish i want you to grant] "really what is it" Goten asks curious [you'll know once you've gathered the dragon balls] king kai cuts off with him. so gotten informs them of what they're doing and trunks agrees to help they say goodbye to piccolo and thank him for the training he's given them. he smirks as he waves them off. An 2 hours pass and both boys were able to gather the dragon balls "eternal shenron by your name i summon you forth" trunks yelled to summon the dragon, and as he yelled, the draon balls start to glow and the eternal dragon came out {you have summoned speak your wish now and I'll grant it} the dragon spoke. Goten stepped forward. "okay um shenron we wish that everyone on king kai"s planet were brought to life" [YESS WAY TO GO GOTEN] Goten says then the dragon's eyes glow red {It is done everyone on king kai's planet are alive. Now then speak your second wish}
the dragon spoke "Okay king kai what about the second wish?" Goten asks [okay ask the dragon to unlock your potential the same way grand elder guru did for Gohan] king kai replies "okay. Dragon we wish you could unlock our potential the same way grand elder did for gohan" Goten says {of course i suppose that'll be your final wish} "that's right" the Dragon spun around in circles, the boys watched in awe as they were surrounded by a light blue aura. once the dragon finished, the aura from the boys disappeared {It is done your dormant power has been unlocked i shall take my leave farewell} the dragon disappears and the dagon balls spreaded across the world. the boys looked at themselves to see if they were changes to which they were. trunks hair was a spikier and a darker purple than his normal light color (in other words, trunks has a more Saiyan appearance). as for Goten he remained the same. but there was one thing the boys had that shocked them, their tails had grown back but instead of being the normal brown, their tail color was the same as their hair "woah check it out Goten we got tails." trunks said wagging his little appendage. as Goten wagged his curiosity got the better of him as he grabbed it making him freeze in pain and fall "oh yeah my dad told me that a saiyan's tail was it's weak point" as Goten got back up they heard a teleporting sound behind them they expected it to be goku but once they turned around they saw a strange short man they've never seen before.
"sorry i took long kids been trying to sense your energy in fact this is my first time using instant transmission" recognising the voice the kids knew it was king kai "so you must be king kai?" trunks asked "that's right and thanks a lot Goten, i really owe you for bringing me back to life unlike your dumb father whonever even bothered to do so" king kai says wich makes the kids laugh " now enough of that let's get you two back to my planet to begin your training now hold on to my back" king kai says as the kids put their hands on his shoulders as they teleported back to his world
"Authors note" okay this is where am going to stop this story was based off of another authors story "Untapped potential of the youngest half breed" as well as smugstick's video where goten and trunks trained on beerus's world so i decided to make this story, a rewrite of dragon ball super where goten and trunks get to join their fathers on their adventures unlocking new transformations and facing new challenges this we'll last from resurrection F to the super broly arc. well until the granolah and moro arc releases on anime.
