Dragon Ball The Next

A few months have passed.

"Hmm. What is this?" Trunks asked as he saw a cupboard box lying in front of the capsule cooperation compound.

"Young master Trunks. This is something that your friend Son Goten asked to give to you and your father." the security replied.

"But why is it still here? Shouldn't someone give this to the reception?" Trunk asked the security.

"Well, you see. We tried to move it but no one can lift this." The security replied.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Trunks asked as he tried lifting the box.

"What? Why is it not moving?" Trunks was shocked. He was using all of his strength but he still couldn't lift it for more than a few seconds before needing to put it down again.

"This must weigh around at least 10 tons." Trunks said.

"I guess there is not helping it." Trunks said as he transformed into a Super Saiyan.

"Now that is much better." Trunks said.

He was still somewhat struggling but at least he could lift them now.

"10 tons? That is heavier than a truck. No wonder we can't lift it." The security guard said in shock.

"Hey. Does Goten also have his blonde hair when he was carrying this?" Trunks asked.

"He is using the transformation that the young master called Super Saiyan." the security replied.

He didn't mention that Goten however was not even struggling and lifting it without any signs of fatigue.

Trunks brought the box back to Vegeta and Bulma.

Both of them are relaxing near a swimming pool in the garden inside the capsule cooperation.

"Trunks. What are you doing here?" Vegeta who was giving Bulma a neck message asked his son.

"Goten gave this box. Saying they are for us."Trunks replied as he dropped the box.

"It's so heavy. To the point I need to use Super Saiyan to lift it." Trunks said as he detransformed.

"Dad. Can we open it now? I want to see what Goten gave us."

"We will open it after I finish messaging your mom so wait for a while," Vegeta said to Trunks.

"Ehh. Can't I open it now? I want to know what's inside?" Trunks asked Vegeta.

"Vegeta, let Trunks open the box. It's fine if he opens it near us anyway right?" Bulma said to Vegeta.

"Fine," Vegeta said.

Trunks quickly opened the box to see a few items.

A set of gi in a child's size that resembles the gi that Trunks usually wear. A set of armour and a bodysuit that resembles the one that Vegeta used to wear. It also has a small glass bottle that contains a Senzu bean, a letter and a small golden bracelet.

"Clothes, bracelet and a letter?" Vegeta asked.

"These clothes are heavy." Trunks said as he held the clothes that were around his size.

"They must be weighted," Vegeta said.

"It seems like That brat is not slacking off," Vegeta said while smiling.

"Trunks, throw the armor to me. I want to see what kind of weight he chooses for me." Vegeta said to Trunks.

Of course, he moved a few steps away from Bulma as he didn't accidentally want the weighted armour to hit her.

"Here I go, Dad." He said as he threw the clothes to Vegeta.

Vegeta tried to catch it just by using his one hand. He was not expecting it to be that heavy as a child chose it for him.

Which backfired and he accidently dropped it to the ground even though he technically caught it.

It was too heavy for him to lift them effortlessly in one hand without being in his Super Saiyan form.

He was also caught off guard by how heavy it was.

"Trunks. Are you not going to read the letter?" Bulma asked while Vegeta was still in shock.

----------------------------

At the Lookout Piccolo and Goten were having a light spar.

Goten was still in his Super Saiyan state however his hair now is less yellow compared to how it used to be when he was training under Vegeta.

The colour is now on a more softer side.

It was also more fluffy and the edges of his bangs were rounder. Even his eyebrows seem to have softer edges compared to before.

It was the Super Saiyan state after Goten mastered it.

This is astonishing. The second kid of Son Goku is even more talented than Gohan. He already has enough power to rival me. Piccolo thought as Goten successfully blocked and counter-attacked him during their little spar.

Even though Piccolo could do things like extending his limbs and have better ki control than Goten he was overwhelmed.

"That's it, Goten. If you train for a bit more you could really surpass Vegeta." Piccolo complimented Goten.

Piccolo and Goten were not very close.

Despite staying for months at the lookout Goten was never able to get much closer with Piccolo, Dende and Mr Popo.

And the reason was simple.

Because they were mostly Gohan's friends and not his.

Goten's situation is like a brother of your best friend coming to stay over at your house while your best friend is busy.

They would not neglect the brother and will still have a decent relationship but it would be hard for the younger brother to become as important as their friend.

Vegeta and Goten were able to get along as Vegeta trained Goten.

Trunks was able to get along with Goten easily because they were of similar age with similar strength.

When Goten meets Piccolo he is already a Super Saiyan so he does not need to rely on him to teach him.

Piccolo was more of a sparring partner to him than a master.

Dende and Mr Popo are people who do not talk regularly and have a log of tasks that they have to do.

Goten has been training with Piccolo for over two months already.

He was supposed to go home after a month but he decided to stay on the lookout for a while since he had nothing better to do at home.

How is he just keeping up with me? Didn't he grow stronger? Goten thought as he continued to spar with Piccolo.

At first, Piccolo was stronger than him but as time progressed Goten realized that Piccolo wasn't much stronger than a normal Super Saiyan.

But he didn't think that it was this severe. He just thought that Piccolo was at least comparable to a Saiyan who fully mastered Super Saiyan.

But when he realized that Piccolo was being pushed by him, Goten recognised that Piccolo was far below Master Super Saiyan by a huge margin.
