A few days have passed since Goten went on the trip with Trunks and his family.
"Ring. Ring." The telephone in Goten's living room started to ring.
Chichi went to the phone to pick it up.
"Hello,"
"Hello. Is that you, Ms Chichi?" A voice was heard.
"Trunks is that you?" She asked back.
"Do you have anything to tell me or do you want me to call Goten for you?" Chichi asked.
"Yes. I want to speak to Goten." He asked.
"Fine. Wait for a moment. I will call him for you." She said.
"Goten. Trunks is on the phone." She called out to her son.
Goten was at home at that time so Trunks didn't have to wait too long for him to receive the phone.
"What's wrong? Did you want to ask me something?" Goten asked.
He taught him how to control his ki a few days ago, so he thought Trunks wanted to ask him something related to that topic.
"No. I wanted to tell you that Gohan came to my house this morning." Trunks said.
"He asked my mom to make a voice changer for his lame costume. He also said he is going to participate in the World Martial Arts tournament." Trunks continued.
"So it's already the time he awakens," Goten muttered to himself.
"What was that?" Trunks who heard a few words but didn't clearly understand what Goten said asked him about what he just said.
"No. It's nothing." Goten replied.
This might be dangerous. I have not reached Super Saiyan 2 yet and the World Martial Arts Tournament is already going to start. If I don't train harder, I might die at the hands of Majin Buu, just like in the manga. Goten thought in his mind.
Although he knew that if everything went as it was supposed to, Goku, his father, would be the one to save the day from the universal threat, he knew it was no longer set in stone because of his existence.
If a small flap of a butterfly's wings could cause a storm, what are the potential changes that someone who did not follow a path set for him could make?
Since he started training, Goten had known that the peaceful future Goku had created might change.
He was not entirely sure but it was a likely scenario that he could not ignore.
So he knew he had to prepare for the upcoming threats, so he could handle them personally if need be.
"My dad also said he is going to participate since Gohan is going to be in it." Trunks continued his yapping.
"And you know what the most surprising thing is. I heard a voice which is quite similar to yours this morning saying that he would also participate in the tournament. When I asked who that voice belongs to Mom said it's you and Gohan's dad." Trunks said to Goten.
"Trunks. Are you free today?" Goten suddenly asked before Trunks could finish his words.
"I have classess but I can sneak out if you want to meet me." Trunks replied.
"Great. Then can you come to my house right now? There is something that I wanted your help with." Goten asked.
"Sure." Trunks said.
Goten then hung up the phone.
"What did Trunks say to you?" Chichi asked.
"It's nothing important. He just asked me to go out to help him with something." Goten replied as he went towards his bedroom and started to change his clothes.
"Remember I won't stop you from playing games but you still need to limit them so that they won't affect your eyes," Chichi said to Goten.
She thought Goten was going out to play video games with Trunks.
"I know mom. I will be back in a while." Goten said as he went out.
"Wait. Are you going to Capsule Corporation on your own?" Chichi asked in a worried tone.
"No. Trunks is going to pick me up. I just think it would be better to wait for him outside." Goten replied.
"Then later, I will be back soon." Goten waved goodbye to Chichi.
*****
After a few minutes, Trunks arrived at Goten's house.
He didn't know how to fly towards long distances properly just yet so he had to use one of the hover cars that his mom owned which was driven by a robot.
Goten looked at Trunks and felt a little bit jealous when he saw how much wealth that Trunks was born into.
After all, who doesn't want to be born into wealth?
In terms of genetics Trunks is even better as just like him he was also the son of a Saiyan and his mom can be considered one of the smartest beings in the universe.
But he put away those thoughts as he still had a loving mother and brother, it's not that Trunks' parents don't love him but his mom and dad are usually busy and unable to give him the warmth of a normal family most of the time.
"What do you want to do?" Trunks asked Goten.
"I want to go somewhere. Is your robot free?" Goten asked Trunks as he pointed at the robot that drove him.
"He should be. We have plenty of robots at home." Trunks replied.
"Then do you know where Korin's tower is located," Goten asked the robot.
The robot showed an Ok through its monitor that acted as its face.
Goten have never been to Korin's tower so he can't just fly there directly that is the reason why he asked the robot to drive him there.
Of course, his first plan was to ask Trunks to take him to his house and ask Trunk's mother about the location of the Korin tower but now since the robot knew the location he could just skip those steps.
Of course, his goal was the ultra divine water since it is said to be able to unlock his true potential.
He believed that if he was able to drink this water his progress towards the Super Saiyan 2 goal post would have been much closer.
