Dragonball Mae: The Early Years

Training

"Let's get started." Goku said with a determined look. "The fusion technique is like a dance. You have to do a specific series of moves and your timing has to be just right. It's not hard to learn but it does take practice."

"A dance?" Trunks asked. "I don't think this fusion is as great as you say it is."

"Just give it a try." Goku said.

"Fine but I still think it's stupid." Trunks mumbled.

"Can you just shut up and do what you are told!" Mae snapped.

"It's okay." Goku said glancing at Mae. "Now both of you power up to super saiyan." Without hesitation both boys powered up. "Okay now raise your levels as high as you can."

As their power rose Piccolo entered the training room. "Their Power is amazing for their age." He said standing next to Mae.

"Yea I'm really impressed." Mae said crossing her arms. 'I wonder if Goten would be stronger if I had taken the time to train him.' She thought as the boys reached their maximum power.

"Okay now raise it to your max." Goku said.

"What?!" Goten and Trunks said surprised. "But we did already!"

"Oh that's okay then." Goku said. "Trunks your power level is higher, lower it a bit to match Goten's."

While they got their power levels sorted out Mae turned to Piccolo, "So you came to learn this fusion?"

"Yea I figured it would be a good thing to learn. Plus you can be a bit harsh when training." Piccolo said honestly.

"I just don't see any point to being soft." Mae said looking at the boys.

"Vegeta taught you that." Piccolo said as Trunks and Goten reached equal power levels.

"Yea he did." Mae shrugged.

"Now that your energies are even remember how this feels, now go back to your base forms." Goku instructed.

"How come Goten couldn't just raise his power level to match mine?" Trunks asked.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't!" Goten said looking down.

"It's okay, son. Trunks is older so it's only natural that his power level is a bit higher." Goku explained.

Suddenly Bulma burst in, "Goku I don't want my son getting hurt!"

"Bulma come on you can't be in here." Krillin said following her.

"I deserve to be here for Trunks." Bulma snapped.

"Come on let them train." Krillin said putting Bulma over his shoulder and carried her out.

"Krillin let me go!" Bulma demanded.

"Sorry about the interruption!" Krillin laughed as he left the room.

"I wanna try again." Trunks said.

"Me too!" Goten nodded, both were eager to train.

While Babidi and Majin Buu were destroying another city a woman from the tournament contacted them. "Hello Babidi? We have some information about the boy called Trunks." She said.

"Oh you do?" Babidi grinned. "Let's hear it then."

"Well you see Trunks cheated in the tournament and beat my son. So when I found out where he lives I figured it would be a good idea to tell you!" The woman explained.

"Hurry up and tell me or I will kill you." Babidi threatened.

"How rude! Fine he lives at Capsule Corp in West City." The woman said.
