first at Trunks and then at Goten. The expression on his face was just unique! He stared at Trunks, puzzled, which led me to take a closer look. At first I didn't notice anything else, but then I finally saw why Goten was about to burst into laughter. He was actually sitting in a broom closet!


Almost at the same time, Goten and I snorted at it.


Trunks frantically tried to free himself from the closet, but the attempt failed and he rumbled out with several buckets. Slightly angry and totally embarrassed, he kicked her back and closed the door. Indignant about our desperate efforts to stop laughing, he kicked the door again, which was beginning to burst.


"Oh ... hehe ... oops. Let's get out of here before she finds me.I tell you it can be really annoying: "


"Whom do you mean?" I asked while Trunks pushed us down the hall into one of the many rooms.


I noticed how he looked at me as inconspicuously as possible before answering my question.


"Pan of course ... little burdock. You must be Mizuki, don't you? Goku talked about you earlier."


I just nodded.


"Trunks there is something we should tell you."


Goten looked at me insecure as if he feared I would attack him from behind if he even said a word about my secret, but I had nothing against it. So Goten Trunks told what I had told him. Trunks seemed very interested, but showed understanding and said: "Then it is better you keep it to yourselves. Um ... do you want to come back with me? Mum and the others are sitting in the garden."


I shook my head quickly. Trunks suddenly crossed his arms and bowed his head thoughtfully.After a short pause, he remembered something. "How about we show her our training ground in the forest, Goten?", He addressed me quickly, "I mean you want to get stronger, don't you?"


I nodded again.


"Well, then we are probably the perfect training partner."


He grinned broadly at me. Slowly my mood improved and I agreed to go with them. A short time later we made our way into the said forest.


Nobody, not even me, noticed the shadow that followed us inconspicuously ...




“There it is!” Trunks pointed to a small piece of forest hidden behind huge rock walls far from any civilization.


He flew in front of Goten and me. When the little green spot in the otherwise gray mountain world came closer, he picked up the pace again. I had no problems following him, because my earlier training meant I was already quite strong and a slightly faster flight did not cause me any difficulties.Then Goten shot past me. A few more serious thoughts swirled through my head.


> Why are the two of them so fast? You can't possibly be that much stronger than me ... what's your secret? <


The ambition seized me and I felt the urge to have to prove myself. I gathered my strength as far as possible and actually I got a little faster, but it wasn't enough to keep up with Goten and Trunks. Exhausted, I landed next to them, sank to the floor and gasped for air.


"How ... do ... you ... that * phew *?" I gasped. Strangely enough, I got no answer, just earned a sly smile. It took me a moment to recover before we entered the forest. After a short march we reached an open piece of land. A large clearing stretched before us. It reached to the base of one of these really gigantic rock faces. In this clearing there would have been enough room for a whole house.

"So there we are," said Goten while he was removing the bushes on the rock face that blocked the view of a cave.


"In here Trunks and I used to play. Today we're hiding things in it that nobody should discover."


Goten smiled and disappeared into the darkness of the cave. I looked at Trunks questioningly, but he only indicated the entrance from the Goth with a nod of his head.


In his hand he held two beautiful balls. The material they were made of seemed to be crystal-like, which gave them a soft sheen. In addition, orange-red stars drew her insides. I counted seven in one ball and three in the other.


"These are Dragon Balls. I told you about them Mizuki."


I took another look at the two balls, then Goten brought them back.


"Well then," said Trunks, "let's get started! Hey Mizuki, how far are you with your training?I know you are not weak, you can feel that, but it would be better if you show us whether we have to hold back a lot, right Goten? "


He didn't look at him but I saw him nod in agreement.


> Well wait! You'll be off your socks when I'm done


I was just about to start doing a few exercises when Trunks interfered with me.


"Wait a minute! It's enough if you concentrate your energies as much as possible."


I was totally confused but then did what I was asked to.


"lso i'm starting"


I missed that feeling very much. To be able to feel the full power of the body was indescribable. It spread in every corner. I felt my energies and strength gathering at one point, ready to flow out.


Finally I gave her free rein. It penetrated out of my body and enveloped me in a veil of white light. A cold wind whirled over the floor, blew my hair wildly through each other and then disappeared again with the light.

"Wow not bad," muttered Goten, with a slight sidelong glance at Trunks.


"Well then let's get started! Mind if we warm up a little?"


I nodded to Trunks and then looked for a nice spot from which I could watch the two of them. I sat down in the shade of a large tree that drew the edge of the clearing.


Goten had meanwhile finished his stretching exercises. He checked again whether Trunks was ready and then got into position.


"Full power trunks?


"Well what else? Come on!"


An insane wind swept across the clearing. The trees around me bent under the tremendous pressure and I also had my problems sitting upright at all. In addition there was this bright light that bathed the whole area in a golden glow. When it subsided, I couldn't believe my eyes.


Still surrounded by a bright, prancing light, Trunks and Goten stood before me.Their whole appearance was different. The wildly protruding hair, these cool eyes and the uncanny power that emanated from them made me shudder.


`Ahh, so you were looking for the Saiyajins. Your new friends, Mizuki? `


I twitched violently and immediately began to tremble.


> That voice ... it can't ... it's impossible! <


While I was hearing soft voices, Trunks and Goten began their training.


Goths made the start. He jumped at Trunks with a huge leap, faked a targeted punch and then used Trunks confusion, even if it were only seconds, to give him a kick in the neck.


Thanks to Trunks' quick reactions, he blocked the kick with his forearm and clutched Goten's leg with the other.


Goten, whose leg was now firmly gripped on Trunks' shoulder, dropped back and gave him a violent kick under the chin.


Trunks let go of his leg, allowing him to land safely with a clean somersault.Trunks, on the other hand, lifted it off its feet. He fell backwards to the floor, immediately pushed himself off with his hands, and with a few flicks he got himself a safe distance. Annoyed, he wiped his cheek, his gaze fixed on Goten.


> What do they call "practice"?

I didn't know which of them to cheer, so I left it all.


Trunks finally broke out of his rigidity. He shot at Goten at high speed, let himself slide on the ground in the middle of the barrel and slid on, feet first. He hoped Goten would be blown away but he reacted faster than he thought.


He jumped up and cleverly dodged Trunks' attack. He stopped high in the air, that had to be almost 10 meters. He didn't hesitate, reached out and fired three small ki balls at the trunks lying on the floor.


I was so captivated by the spectacle that I lost my caution.

Suddenly a strong hand grabbed me and a strong arm wrapped itself around my neck from behind. I panted desperately and tried to free myself, but nothing was of any use.


"So that's them ... you thought you were safe with them what?"


I knew that voice. It was Laevus and this time it was the real one.


I felt his grip loosen, which allowed me to get some air.


Then he raised the hand that was still free.


It shone and shone in a wonderful blue that quickly darkened. Two small threads separated from it, twisting and wriggling. But they didn't stay that small. Soon they were the size of spears.


Finally he fired her.


I gave a choked scream when I saw who they were meant for. I wanted to warn them to help them but my voice failed completely.


Trunks and Goten fought a fierce training match high in the air and none of them noticed anything that was happening down here.

I couldn't see it and turned my head as the spears hit their targets.


Finally I got over it and looked up at the two of them. Trunks sagged first. His leg was bleeding profusely, then he fell to the ground, closely followed by Goten who pressed his hand on his shoulder.


Both hit hard. Their tortured faces made Laevus laugh. If only I had been able to free myself. I would have loved to straighten his ugly face.


Suddenly I felt my feet leave the earth and I knew exactly what would come next. He brought me back.


I stopped fighting when I looked again at Goten and Trunks.




> I'm sorry .... I will never let you suffer again because of me ..... <




Tears ran down my cheeks as I finally disappeared from Gotens and Trunks' field of vision.
