"COME ON! PUT YOUR BACK INTO IT!!!" Screamed a spiky haired man to his purple haired teenager son. The two were sparring in a blue grass meadow that had a purple sky above it with yellow clouds. Goku and Goten watched from the sidelines, both were sporting blonde hairdos and had green tints to their irises indicating they were in their super Saiyan forms. Both were sweaty having just finished training themselves. "Aw come on, Vegeta. You don't need to be so hard on him" said Goku concernedly, "No son of mine is gonna have Saiyan blood and be soft!" Vegeta retorted as he flew forward at his son and threw a punch which the boy dodges just barely. The boy smirks having dodged his father but his celebration is cut short when Vegeta quickly elbows his face with the opposite arm and sends him crashing into the ground. Goku and Goten gasp in shock. The purple haired boy lifts himself up rubbing his jaw "that was dirty!" He complains. Vegeta was standing just a foot away with his arms crossed holding a scowl "Of course it was! Do you think your opponent is gonna give a damn about fairness?! Out in the real world combat can be life or death and you'll do well to remember that or end up a corpse! Do you understand me, Trunks?!". Trunks stands up and dusts himself off "Yes, sir" he replies softly.

"Alright, boys, we have one more lesson today and then we're done"  Goku says, "Goten, power down for me and go stand by Trunks" Goku asks of his son. Goten's hair recedes back to his normal black hairdo that was exactly like his father's and then does as he's told and stands next to Trunks. Goku stands next to Vegeta and looks to him "Ready, Vegeta?", "Yeah yeah let's get this over with" Vegeta replies. "So, boys, remember your fusion, Gotenks?" Goku begins. The boys look to each other quizzically and then back at their fathers, "Uh, yeah. Why?" Goten asks. "You two are now significantly older since the last time you fused, and because of that we need to retrain you to make sure your power levels match and balance correctly" Goku explains very matter of factly. "You two have never fused, how are you gonna train us in something you don't understand?" Trunks asked. Goku and Vegeta smirk, get into position, and in unison say "Fuuuuu....sion! HA!". As they say this they do a ritualistic dance that involves them sliding towards each other while staying side to side, pointing their fingers to their far left and far right respectfully, and then bringing the tips of their index fingers together upon saying "HA!". "No way....." the boys say in disbelief. A shining light briefly envelops the men and when the light fades another man stands in their  place.

This man had hair similar to Vegeta and wore an open black leather vest with a yellow collar and shoulder pads that are made of the same material. The man stood with the cocky air of Vegeta but put forth the studiousness of Goku in his stature. When he spoke it was with a voice that was combination of both Goku and Vegeta's. "Behold our fusion! I am neither Goku or Vegeta! I am something much greater: Gogeta!". The boys begin exclaiming to each other about what they just saw. "I told you that's what they'd be called.....!" "No no you said it was gonna.....!" The boys' overlapping chatter starts to irritate Gogeta who was now scowling. "SILENCE!" Gogeta shouted in a booming volume with his fused voice. The boys do as their told and stand at attention. "Now, let's see yours" Gogeta orders. "Right!" the boys say in unison. They get into position and begin doing the fusion dance as their fathers did. "Fuuuuuuu.....sion! H....." "yoo-hoooo! Saiyans!", the effeminate voice from the crystal ball interrupts the boys' fusion. The boys stop and look towards the voice. Standing where the voice was coming from was Whis, a tall statuesque light blue skinned man with purple lips and white hair. "What is it, Whis?" Gogeta asked. "Pardon the intrusion but Bulma says for you all to return home. She said it was very urgent" Whis replies. "Is my mom ok?" Trunks asks, "She seemed mostly concerned but
we'd be better hurry. Her sense of urgency was alarming". "Alright, let's get going" Gogeta says.
