Gohan walked out of his room; checking to make sure his blue gi was on tight. The 17 year-old had promised his father he would spar with him today, but he had taken five minutes longer to change that usual. Not wanting to make his dad wait any longer Gohan hurried down the stairs. As he did he heard some giggling coming from the nearby living room. It sounded like Goten and Trunks and Gohan was going to just ignore them when suddenly there was a zap sound followed by a bright flash of green. A second later he heard Trunks’ voice shouting excitingly.
“Awesome, it worked!” cried Trunks, laughing with joy. “Now it’s my turn!” Gohan hurried toward the room to see what was going on, but before he got there another zap was heard and then another flash of green light. Gohan entered the living room a second later and discovered…nothing. The room was completely empty.
“What the heck?” the teenage half-Saiyan walked further into the room as he looked around with his black eyes. He definitely heard Goten and Trunks in here. After taking a few more steps away from the doorway, Gohan’s foot bumped into something and it slid away a couple feet. He glanced down and spotted what looked like a toy gun on the floor. Curious, Gohan picked it up and examined it in his hands. “That Goten…you’d think he’d of learned by now how angry mom gets when he leaves his toys around.” Gohan looked up from the gun and glanced around the room sternly. “Goten! I know you’re in here!” Gohan waited for his younger brother to come out of hiding, but there was no sign of him. Gohan went back to observing the toy gun and noticed the Capsule Corporation’s logo on it. “So it’s not a toy…don’t tell me it’s some kind of invisibility ray.” Gohan pointed the gun at himself and pulled the trigger as he said this. At the time he didn’t think much of the action, but it would prove to be one of his biggest mistakes. The gun lit up in his hands and with a zap it fired a green beam that hit Gohan square in his chest. Gohan was blinded by the resulting flash of light for only a second, but when his vision returned he noticed two things.
First, the gun was no longer in his hands, but on the floor in front of him. Second, it was HUGE. What had once looked like a toy gun now looked like a gigantic contraption before him. Gohan gaped up at the huge mechanism before spinning around and looking at the rest of the room. His living room now looked impossibly huge as if it was a whole other world. The cracks in the wooden floor now looked like he could squeeze through them and the furniture around him went up for miles. Gohan estimated he was only a centimeter in height!
“O-Okay…not an invisibility ray.” Gohan mumbled to himself.
“Yeah! Gohan joined us!” came the familiar, childish voice of Goten. Gohan looked to his right to see his brother and Trunks running toward him. Both were shrunken like him.
“Hey, watch where you’re stepping, Gohan!” Trunks shouted as they reached him. “You almost stepped on us a few times back there!”
“I did?” Gohan realized the two kids really were in the room and he simply hadn’t noticed. He was glad they were both unhurt, but… “Would one if you tell me what’s going on?”
“Can’t you figure it out?” Goten asked, smiling widely as he laced his arms behind his head. “Trunks brought a real-life shrink ray from home! Now we have all this space to play in! Isn’t it awesome?!”
“Awesome? Are you joking? Goten, this-” But the two demi-Saiyans didn’t seem to want to stick around since they both started to take off into the air while Gohan was still talking. The spiky haired teen thought fast and quickly grabbed one of the kids’ short legs in each hand before pulling them back down to the floor.
“What’s the big idea?!” Trunk’s asked as he glared at the older male.
“Listen, you two! You don’t seem to understand how dangerous this is! We’re the size of flies! What does mom do when she sees a fly?”
“S-She…swats it.” Goten answered with a gulp, but returned Gohan’s stern gaze with his own. “But mom isn’t home right now! She and Trunks’ mom went on some vacation together. The only one home is dad.”
“That doesn’t make this any less dangerous!” Gohan shouted back; getting frustrated. He couldn’t believe he had accidentally shrunk himself…but then again if he hadn’t he or someone else might of stepped on the two tiny kids. “Listen…we need to get back to normal. Lets try to find an undo switch on the shrink ray and-”
Before Gohan could finish he was interrupted by a loud BOOMing noise. It was quickly followed by another BOOM…then another…then another. The booms were getting closer and the floor started to tremble with each one. The three boys realized the sound was footsteps and they all fearfully turned their heads toward the living room’s entryway. A few BOOMs later and someone entered the living room. It was…
