Established Universe [EU] Pennywise is thrilled that two young boys just unwittingly entered his new lair, but Trunks and Goten are just there looking for a dragon ball.

Goku laughed when he heard the plan
Trunks and Goten got caught in a jam
Wanting only another dragon ball to grant a wish
Unwise to Penny who spotted his fresh fish
Licking his lips to the boys who would make a great dish
Trunks and Goten looked over and saw a smiling Pennywise who they quietly punched through a wall
They spotted the dragon ball and proclaimed “today was a good day”
Followed by a triumphant “Hip hip Hurray!”

(Please forgive typos, grammar and creative license. Not an expert int the material.)
In the dark tunnels of a long deserted sewer, a sleeping presence awakes. “What’s that?” it says to itself. The presence pulls its dormant energy together to form a darkness. One that fills the large room that it is in, much like a vapor. It condenses further to the shape of a humanoid. This has always been its favorite shape as well as its favorite prey. “Visitors..” hissed the presence. It knew this man made cave network like it knew its own molecules. Something stirred in its home. Not a rat, frog or lost dog. No, this was sentient. No, rather, they were sentient. They could feel. They could think. More so, and most important… They, could, fear. Though, the presence had learned to survive off many substances or even the lack there of. It craved fear above all. And no being produce more delightful, tasteful fear, than humanoids. The presence was old. Older then worlds. It has seen many cultures, many worlds and endless realms. In these, he was called by many names and in some realities, no name was given at all. Of all them Pennywise was his favorite. By this name he has live for many an age. And, in this realm on this world he has had his fill of fear. Being beaten only once, by a group of human children. But no more a loss to him than leaving a restaurant would be to a human who found a hair in their food. They could chose to eat it but why waste your time. There are millions of restaurants, why spoil your appetite on this one? Now in the form of a human shadow Pennywise quickly passed from tunnel to tunnel closing in on these poor lost souls. As he approached his prey, he made sure to come from behind and, being well accustomed to the element of surprise, he decided to hide from any form all together. Rather to be there unseen even in to the light of day. Gaining on the intruders his heart sang with gleeful malice. “Children. I love children.” Pennywise thought to himself. Nothing was as euphoric as the unbridled fear a child could muster forth from the nothing of thought. As he observed them, he noticed many things were off. Though they looked human, they had many qualities that would suggest they were not of this world, or maybe this reality. They had two legs and arms, a torso and a head. They wore clothes and walked, as did the humanoids of this reality. But… “They.. have… a power..” Pennywise sensed. Being more observant he noticed that the light he first thought to be torches were not so. When he focused on the light, he saw that each boy was holding an arm up with an index finger on golden fire. The flames flickered and lapped without consuming, nor did they leave odor or sound of flame. More concerning was the sense that he felt when he entered the tunnel they were in. Almost like a pressure. As if being a few hundred feet under water. Each also had a device with them. Not a phone like the mindless meat sacks used above ground. The technology looked unfamiliar for this people’s age, or this world in general. Pennywise decided to probe one of their minds. He chose the one with purple hair. Loving to pick on children who dyed their hair because they often did so for attention being more likely to be insecure. Pennywise reached out to the kids mind but immediately he realized this was a mistake. The child’s mind was hard. Hardened by he know not what. He retreated. The pair stopped, the purple haired child stopping first of course. “What is it?” Goten asked. “I’m not sure.” Answered Trunks. “It was almost as if a mind was asking of my mind.” “What?” “I don’t know, it’s hard to explain.” “Are you OK Trunks?” “Yeah… though. I think a little more light might be in order.” With that, the fire that licked the finger of Trunks burst into a glaring fire that engulfed his whole hand. The flame circling Trunks hand, though only slightly larger, illuminated the whole tunnel. Not one crack hid from the light. Pennywise almost forgot he was incorporeal. A twinge of surprise and fear ran down what would be his back had he one. Trunks looked back and forth, never stopping where the non-eyes of Pennywise surveyed them. However, each time Trunks eye line passed his, even for the briefest of moments, he thought for sure Trunks saw him. Trunks stood, arm in the air his hand now a fist, looking for any sign of what he just felt. Eventually Goten grew bored and pressed the matter. “I don’t see anything. Are you sure you felt something, I didn’t.” “Yes Goten. I felt something” “Well, I don’t see anything.” Sigh. “Neither do I.” “So let’s move on. I want to find that Dragon Ball and get out of here, it stinks.” “Alright, just keep an eye out and your guard up. I know I felt something.” Pennywise let them move on. Letting the gap between himself and them grow. Had he had form the cat and mouse game would have been over and he so enjoyed it. “Trunks and Goten” Pennywise recalled. It was always good to know the names of your prey. What the hell were Dragon Balls though. The name didn’t carry the gravity of the simple toys children played with on this world. No, the cadence of the word was heavy. The heaviness that was often reserved for holy items. Something else to keep in mind. Always remember your preys prey. Bait is a beautiful tool. Pennywise wouldn’t dare to probe ether of their minds again, not so soon after failing and not without distraction. Odd, humans were easy to probe, like opening an unlocked window with no glass. If purple hair was human, he was a breed apart. Seeing that the others finger was lit just as Trunks was before, Pennywise figured the same was true of Goten as well. He decided to follow and wait. “We’re definitely in the right area. The Dragon Radar says the Ball is close.” Said Goten “Sure, but how many turns and detours will we have to take?” Trunks suggested. “Hopefully not much more. I can’t take the smell much longer” “I can’t take your smell much longer.” “SHUT UP TRUNKS!!” “Take it easy I was just kidding.” “I’ll leave it to you to take it easy. Did something ask ‘of your mind’ to be a jerk?” As they joked, they came to a tunnel intersection with a giant pool in the middle. There were some maintenance lights above. Some flickered, some were out and ever fewer work proper. They stopped for a moment and spectated the area. Trunks flame making the maintenance lights seem pointless. It was then that Pennywise thought it opportune to engage. While the two boys were walking and kidding each other Pennywise was able to glean some information from their minds. Mostly what a Dragon Ball looked like. However, he did not know their true importance, just that they were important to these two. He took on the guise of a glowing Dragon Ball at the bottom of the shallow pool. “I’d say were about 7 kilometers away from the Dragon Ball.” Trunks announced. “Are you sure?” Asked Goten. “According to my radar, why? Does yours read different?” “Just a little!” Goten shouts while jumping into the pool. Goten rushes in waste deep water to a glowing orb at the bottom of the pool. Trunks at the wrong angle to see the orb only sees Goten wading through water. Not being dull, Trunks checks his radar then Goten’s location. “Goten, what are you doing? It can’t be in there!” Goten plunges his arm into the water submerging himself for a second then victoriously holds up the Dragon Ball. “OH YEAH?!?! What’s this thingy then? Goten mocks. Trunks checks his radar again then looks back to Goten as he summersaults out of the pool landing right next to Trunks. “This thing must be broken.” Say’s Trunks with a grin on his face. Goten laughs while saying, “Your face must be broken.” “That doesn’t even make sense.” Shoots Trunks, still with a grin. In this moment when the boy’s spirits are high, Pennywise decides to strike. While they were laughing and congratulating each other, the Dragon Ball began to glow stronger. “Trunks, the Dragon Ball is getting brighter.” “I haven’t seen that before. Here, let me have it.” As Goten hands off the globe and just as both boys’ hands are touching it, the Dragon Ball explodes. So great and fierce was the explosion that it knocks Trunks through the air into a wall. The concert gives and shatters holding Trunks in the wall for a moment before letting him fall to the ground face first. The light blinds him shortly and the impact dazes him profusely. For a few minutes he lies on the stone ground remembering how to breathe, what he was doing and were he was. When he gains some sense, he raises to a sitting position still using one arm to stabilize himself and another to rub his head. “What was that?” Now with a little more constitution he manages to get to his feet and survey the area. There were no fumes, residue or particles in the air. Not like you would expect from an explosion. There was some dust from the wall behind him but other than that, the area was completely unchanged. “Goten!” No response. “Hey, Goten. Where are you bud?” Trunks, gaining his composure rapidly began to realize he was alone. “GOTEN!! GOTEN, WHERE ARE YOU!!” Suddenly Trunks hears the sound of walking in shallow water in a tunnel. It was a bit away and to his left. Still not 100% he strained to look for the source of the sound. “GOTEN!!” He shouted in no particular direction in general. He then catches movement out of the corner of his eye. It was in one of the tunnels on the left hand side. Trunks burst into the air and started to fly towards the opening of the tunnel. As he breaches the opening, he sees Goten walking out of sight down one of the turns in the tunnel. Strangely enough, he could have sworn Goten was holding a red balloon. Trunks speeds though the air in pursuit.
“GOOOTEEEEEEEENN!!!!!”

Sometimes in the depth slumber, when sleep is a shroud, there is a sensation. Falling, a smell that reaches into your supper memories. Often it is the feeling of a fly upon your nose, a light irritation that leads to slow waking. Then you get the sensation you are being watched.
I can only assume these feeling though, for me it is my favorite game. Well maybe my second, above it is bringing you to the point where you think you must be dreaming. Fireflies and terror as you try and wake up. Two small sets of feet are trodding on my sewer tongue. They are youthful, energetic, curious, boisterous, and unafraid.
"Yeah well I can think of way better wishes than you Trunks!" This was followed by a raspberry as the two boys rounded the corner to my pump station. The one that was speaking was a short spiky haired child in an orange training gi. The other was the older, taller and purple haired dressed similarly but in blue green.
"Don't we need to wish your dads friend, the monkey that taught him Kaioken back to life first?"
The shorter child pouted a little before shaking his arms "Yeah but there are three! That's enough for a monkey and whatever we want." In his hands was a small compass that was beeping as they got closer to me. "Besides I'm pretty sure its a cricket that taught him how to use the spirit bomb." Where they trying to find something? Did I have some lost toy that they were foolish enough to pursue? I reached into the murk and depth of my abode and found a small globe, a broken red car, and a green scorpion before settling onto a melon sized jewel with two stars inlaid.
They jumped as the water gurgled in the center of the room and a statue rose up. It was a demons head with the ball in its middle on a satin pillow. I donned the guise of an elderly man in the robes of a monk. A gentle, trusting figure for youths so dressed.
"Welcome young students, I see by your garb that you are following the martial path and it has led you to my secret sanctuary!" I greeted them as I stepped out of the shadows, wide sweeping gestures with my arms. "If you wish to take my jewel you must first pass a ferocious test!"
The younger of the two, Goten, turned to the older Trunks, "This is just like with Master Roshi, if you have any of your moms laundry capsules he might have cookies."
"Why do you think I carry around my moms laundry, that was one time."
"But Cookies."
"I don't have any panties for this old pervert."
"Cookies!"
"Boys!" The were not afraid or enticed at all. "I am no pervert but i will give you cookies," I smiled, "After you defeat my challenge." I struck a martial pose. I would defeat them, terrorize them slowly as they baked in fear, delicious.
The older boy took up a stance across from me, he seemed determine to win that jewel. My true eyes reflected for a moment in its reflection. I began, super human speed and strength, a savage kick that would bring the boy to turns. He countered with a punch faster than I could see. It hit me square in the groin and I fell to my knees. My vision went white and when I came to I saw my skin had to, I had been hit so hard I had turned back to Pennywise.
Still clutching my groin I looked and saw that Trunks had left the fighting stage and that Goten was walking toward the statue. When he had reached inside the jaws of the demon head came down in a instant. 'They will know their error now." I waited for his scream or the feeling of fear to wash over me. It did not. The boy was standing just fine with both hands turning the ball over, examining it for dirt and damage.
"How!"
"Oh, that snapping trick? I got past that with my turtle school reflexes." He pulled forward the breast of his gi, showing me the symbol that read turtle school. My rage grew as I realized who they were. More children sent by the damned turtle.
Rising I made my voice echo as I released the darkest wave of killer intent I could. "You damned children will be destroyed! I will devour you until you are nothing but dust in memories of your mothers!"
The boys seemed scared now as the older said "Its that guy our dad's met, the god of destruction with the bald alien guy!" They looked toward eachother feeling outmatched. I would let them simmer in this fear. "If we fuse our dads should notice!"
"Yeah!" They started to do a little dance but the orange boy slipped and a large red button fell out of his shirt. It beeped. "Crap! I wasn't supposed to take that!" a small little creature appeared in robes.
"Yay! Goku called! You got small! So cool! Saiyans are so Cool!"
"Hey Zenchan, its actually Goten, I'm Goku's son I called you on accident."
"Oh, really?" The alien looked dejected but perked up after a moment, "We can still play though right? You're my size so maybe it will be even more fun!"
"Yeah but this god of destruction is threatening us and we can't play if we are erased." The alien pondered for a minute before looking toward me.
"Belmond! You were lots of fun at the tournament but I want to play with Goten today. You should go home." He pointed at the tunnel behind me as he said this as if to indicate I was unwelcome.
"I am the darkness, I am the fear!," I grew to fill the room, "I have a power of 10,000 and I have devoured soul after soul. I will destroy you all!"
The small alien turned his eyes toward me squinting, "Bye bye from existence Belmond." I lunged forward but was stopped as he made a raspberry. It was the strangest feeli-.

“Hello? Is anybody home?” A boy, who couldn’t have been more than 10, trudged through the dank and dirty sewers of a small town called Derry.
“Idiot!” Another voice reprimanded as he slapped his companion upside the head. “Don’t go calling around for random people. Mom’s gonna kill me if we get in trouble again.”
“Ouch...” Watery eyes met a pair of irate blue orbs. “You didn’t have to hit me Trunks-kun...”
Trunks, who looked the same age as his companion, rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. “Sorry Goten. When we get home I’ll let you have one of my toys, if you want.”
“Wow really?!” All traces of tears gone, Goten clasped his hands, starry eyed and all. “Any one?”
“Any one.”
“Wow! Thanks Trunks-kun, you’re the best!”
“And don’t you forget it!”
Suddenly, the two boys perked up. Something else was nearby, something dark. It crept along in the shadows, sticking to the darkness like a parasite. A child’s worst nightmare, dressed in the grotesque form of a clown, rose up from the ground like a specter.
“Hello!” Goten waved politely.
“Goten!” Trunks immediately hissed out, covering his friend’s mouth with his hand. “I told you not to do that!”
A demented giggle echoed throughout the sewer. The cackling laughter of something not quite right.
“Two itsy- bitsy children, coming to my home?” The clown asked with a hyena’s voice. “What a wonderful surprise!”
Goten couldn’t help himself.
“I like surprises!”
Even Trunks, the more levelheaded of the two, found himself growing curious. He pointed at himself.
“So do I!”
“Good!” The clown clapped his hands in demented delight as he ambled closer, walking on long, shifty legs. “Good, good!”
“My name’s Goten. What’s your name, Sir?” Goten had always been polite, and today was no exceptions. It had been something his mother drilled within him from the very first day.
“My name?” The clown gasped with a dramatic flair. He pointed to himself, long fingers rapidly tapping the red fluffy buttons on his chest. “Why, I’m Pennywise, the Dancing Clown!”
Then, sinisterly. “Do you want to play?”
At the word ‘play’, both boys perked up in interest, forgetting the entire reason they were down here in the first place.
“Sure!” They chorused together, leaning forwards with matching grins.
“Wonderful!” Pennywise clapped his hands madly again. “Now listen carefully children. The game we’re going to play is called Do You Wanna Float, okay?”
Two nods.
“Now, all you have to do is look into my eyes, and you’ll float!” The Dancing Clown grinned grotesquely, displaying each and every one of his ugly, mottled teeth.
“That sounds boring.” Trunks pointed out in disappointment.
“Oh, no, no, no.... It’s in fact, quite the opposite!” A squealing, howling giggle. “It’s fun, fun, fun!”
“Goten,” Trunks leaned over and whispered in his friend’s ear. “I think it’s retarded.”
Goten only blinked. Oh no...
“Mr. Pennywise, Sir?” Goten raised his hand.
“Yes my dear little Goten?”
The boy took a deep breath. “Are you retarded?”
“W- What?” The clown seemed taken back by the question, and so Goten pressed forward.
“Aunt Bulma said that some people are just dumb. And well, their brain go boom! Are you one of these, um....”
“Non- vaccinators?” Trunks supplied helpfully.
“Yeah!”
The clown only looked confused. Finally, he shook his head, a mess of frizzy orange hair moving with him. “Now, now children, let’s get back to our game, shall we? After all, we all float down here...” Here, Pennywise trailed off, reverting back to a hyena’s giggle.
“But you’re on the ground.” Goten looked even more confused now, and not at all interested in the game anymore.
The clown looked flustered. “But- but you see my dear Goten, soon, I’ll be floating, and you will too!”
Goten looked disappointed. “But... I can already float...”
Trunks nodded in agreement. “This guy’s boring Goten. Let’s get outta here. We can go search for the Dragon Balls somewhere else.”
“Wait- wait!” As the two boys turned to leave, Pennywise moved to block the entrance. “Come now boys, there’s no need for that. I have these- um, Dragon Balls that you seek.”
Goten perked up. “Really?”
Trunks only sighed. Goten was his best friend and all, but sometimes he was a little too dense for his own good. This Pennywise guy was either retarded, or a pervert who liked kids, and he was willing to bet all his toys that the ditzy clown was both.
“Oh yes!” Pennywise nodded fervently, still cackling to himself. “Here, right here!”
Goten leaned closer until they were practically eye to eye. A pair of curious black orbs met sinister eyes with an evil gleam sharpened over a millennia.
“Where? I don’t see them...”
“Right here, Child! Yes, right here.” A quiet giggle. “Right behind these eyes are - Ack!”
Goten poked the eye.
“What-!”
He poked it again, harder this time.
“Ack-!”
“I don’t see them.” The black haired boy turned to Trunks. “You wanna try?”
Trunks shrugged. “Sure.”
Faster than Pennywise could react, Trunks grabbed its eye and ripped it out. The clown howled in pain, stumbling backwards. “You- you brats!”
Sighing, Trunks turned to Goten. “I told you it was boring. Now, can we please go? I’m hungry and we still have to visit other places before dinner tonight.”
Goten only nodded. “Okay!”
Being ignored for the first time in its millennia of life, Pennywise howled in rage. The demented clown threw himself at the two boys, aiming to kill. Claws sharpened by the very darkness that it was born in struck at Trunks first.
“Ah, a pedophile then.”
Pain.
Within milliseconds, Trunks turned and planted his fist straight into the clown’s massive forehead. Wreathed in an electrifying flame, the boy had turned from a seemingly normal kid into a warrior with golden hair, basked in holy light. Cerulean blue eyes stared down coldly as Pennywise shrunk into the shadows with a sinister hiss.
“Trunks, why did you go super?” Goten tilted his head in curiosity.
Trunks only pointed at the clown. “It’s a pedophile.”
Goten’s eyes grew wide. “Like the ones Mommy warns us about?”
“Mhm.”
Within seconds, the normally meek boy joined his friend in the sky, glowing like a warrior from the heavens. “Let’s teach him a lesson, Trunks.”
“Don’t...”
A ball of pure, undiluted power formed in each of the boy’s hands. Crouching in a warrior’s stance, the two boys forged on, glaring at their opponent in the shadows beneath them.
“Touch...”
With every word, their power spiked and grew, until the cannon of pure power they held in their hands contained their holy ire.
“Little...”
Pennywise could only stare up in horror as his doom grew closer and closer, and at the hands of two random brats too!
“Kids!”
With a final shout, both Goten and Trunks released their signature moves. Kamehameha and MLG Cannon slammed into Pennywise’s petrified form with the wrath of an angry god, and the demented clown was pulverized in an instant.
The two boys powered down, and set foot on the ground again. They looked at each other.
A moment of silence passed.
Finally, Goten spoke. “I’m gonna tell Mommy we met a pedophile.”
Trunks’ reply was swift. “If you do, you’re not getting that toy.”
Goten only pouted.
“Come on,” Trunks punched his friend on the shoulder. “We still have to visit one other place before dinner.”
“Fine...”
“Oh come on Goten! I’ll give you that toy I promised you right when we get home.”
“... Pinky promise?”
Trunks grinned widely. “Pinky promise.”
Goten beamed. “Yay!”
“Okay, but we gotta hit one more spot.”
“Okay!”
“Let’s see...” Trunks took out a radar and punched in some numbers. “It says here that the next location is...”
He paused.
“What the hell is a Slenderman?”

The description of a “warrior with golden hair” is referring to Trunks turning into a “super saiyan.” Without going into exactly what that means, a big part of it is his hair turns gold and his eye color changes to bright green. It’s the primary indicators that the change occurred.
Google “Super Saiyan Kid Trunks” to see what he’s supposed to look like at that point u/Orionx1975’s story.

“Give it to me! Give it to me!” “Listen Goten, I’m the eldest so I get to hold the Dragon Radar” “Trunks are you sure the Dragonball is in the sewers? This place stinks!” Scoffed Goten.
Trunks and Goten, quite easily the strongest children in the universe are hunting the Dragonballs. 7 mysterious orange spheres with the power to grant whoever finds them all 1 wish. With all the heavy hitters fighting in the tournament of power Trunks and Goten have a chance to be mischievous. Setting out to find the final Dragonball, their wish is going to be the best yet!
“Ooooh a balloon!” Goten walks further in the sewer and reaches out. “FOUND IT!” Trunks shouts.
Trunks puts the Dragonball into his satchel and hovers. “Goten let’s go, it’s time to... Goten?”
Trunks couldn’t see Goten. “Gotennn? Hello?” Trunks lands and hesitantly walks deeper into the sewers. A familiar substance was scattered all over the sewer walls. Trunks stretched out to touch it. “Blood?”
Trunks turns serious. His whole body tense he instantly goes Super Saiyan. His yellow aura lights up the tunnel ahead of him. A thin line of blood was crawling towards him. “Goten!!!” Trunks flashed forward so fast then stopped as the tunnel ended.
A strange creature was crushed into the wall. His body was almost completely flattened. It had red hair, sharp spikey teeth and a hole blown through its stomach. “Is that thing wearing a clown sui... Goten! There you are! What the hell happened!?!?”
Goten was sat looking sad holding a burst red balloon.
“I was playing pass when this clown appeared and tried to bite me”. His right fist was drenched in blood.
“Playing pass with who” asked Trunks. “There’s no one here”.
“His name was Georgie”.
Edit: changed cylinders to spheres haha it was late!

"Golly jee" cackled Pennywise "Fresh toys to play with"
The clown followed two innocent boys through his new den. He heard them arguing about whose dad could beat up whose, typical young boys. He decided that he would have some fun with them before he made them into a meal.
He took his very innocent cute form and crept up behind them. He turned his finger into a claw, and reached out give them a scrape across the back of the legs. As his claw made contact it snapped off on the dark haired boys leg.
"Hey Trunks, knock it off I know that was you!" Goten shouted "You're not gonna scare me! Even if it is dark down here."
"What are you talking about stupid?" Trunks snapped back "I didn't even touch you"
Pennywise quickly hid and was stunned. His hand stung from where he broke off the claw. These were clearly not normal boys, he would have to take things up a level. He prepared to turn himself into his most frightening and devilish form. As he did though the boys continued to argue.
"Trunks you jerk, I'll show you" Goten launched a kick at Trunks legs.
The purple haired boy dodged and threw a punch back. Immediately it went from playful fighting to a high powered brawl. The boys began moving faster than the eye could see, smashing through the sewer tunnel walls, and huge bursts of light were coming from their hands barely missing each other and sliced through concrete, steel, and stone with ease.
Pennywises clown jaw literrally dropped to the floor. He continued to hide where he was, frozen in fear. He shut his eyes for a moment, and listened to the turbulent sounds of a raging battle sounding like heavy artillery fire.
All of a sudden it was silent, and he slowly opened his eyes. It was suddenly bright out and his new lair was destroyed, he stood in the rubble. All of a sudden he heard a happy voice behind him.
"Look Trunks it's a clown!"
Pennywise turned around and the two boys were hovering above his head.
"What a stupid looking clown, and what is he doing down here?" Trunks asked Goten.
Pennywise thought this is my only chance. These silly boys let their gaurd down. He transformed into his vicious form, and lunged to swallow them both whole in one bite. As he did the dark haired boys face lit up with excitement.
"There it is Trunks!" His hand pointed behind Pennywise.
Pennywise had almost reached the boys when he felt the worst pain he had ever felt. Before he new what happened he was lying in a pool of his own blood looking up at the boys a few feet away. The dark haired boy reached down and picked up an orange ball.
"Good job Goten" Trunks cried "That weird clown though wasn't any fun though. He wasn't funny or tough. Oh well"
Pennywise felt himself blacking out. He was not sure how this had happened. The last thing he saw was the two boys fly away into the distance at an incredible speed.
"Bye, Mr. Clown!" The dark haired boy shouted as they flew away

"Come on goten dragon radar says it down this drain" Trunks start to climb down as goten exclaims"No trunks its gross down there, and what if theres a monster" 'Ha there is a monster down here now' trunks thought to himself as he climbed down the drain. "Come on dont be a wimp its only a little rain. Besides if there is a monster down here hes the one that should be afraid. Were two super saiyans remember?"
"Well i guess yea youre right trunks" Goten follows trunks into the drain.
"Trunks get your off my head!"
"Uh... Ahhh goten thats not my hand"
"Then what is it!?"
"Its a... Its a... A clown!"
Goten and trunks go super saiyan. The light from their auro lines the clowns teeth as his smile widens from cheek to cheek.
"What do you want mister" goten cried as he made a fist.
"Just to play" the clown said as his smile still got wider.
"Only creeps hangout in tunnels and ask to play with kids. Come on goten lets toast him."
Goten nods. Then they both raise a hand and a energy ball appears in each. They launch them and both hit the clown direct hits to the stomach and chest.
Once the smoke settles the clowns smile appears again.
"This guys tougher than he looks goten we better fuse so things dont get messy"
"Mhm" goten nods
Before the clown can react the two boys perform the fusion dance with utter perfection becoming Gotenks!
/* Will Gotenks have the power to defeat the clown. Find out next time on r/writingPrompts */ //jk
Once fused Gotenks immedietly skips super saiyan 2 and transforms into a super saiyan 3 causeing the ground to shake. The clown however seems even more amused.
Gotenks then unleashes his kamakazie ghosts attack. Each ghost hitting a different part of the clown and exploding with a tremendous amount of force.
When the smoke clears there is nothing left.
Gotenks fusion ends and trunks scratches his head"i guess that was a little much oops"
"Oh hey look the dragon ball was in his pocket" goten reaches for the ball and puts it in their backpack with the other balls.
Find out what happens, next time on dragon ball z

If you have watched all the Goten-Trunks Arc you would realize that they are never really afraid of anything, Goten is naive/innocent and is curious about anything, Trunks is also inquisitive but the type of kid that always pranks someone or dares stuff, even when they are about to fight with majin buu, instead of thinking on how to defeat him, they re think sweets

"Dad said we weren't supposed to go with strangers, Mister clown." the small boy apologized.
"Aww you're always such a crybaby, Goten" sighed Trunks, still fiddling with his small device, "plus the radar says the ball is right down there."
The clowns face in the storm drain switched from a fake frown to a welcoming smile. Sensing his chance he added "That's right boys, we have lots of balls and fun and toys down here, and if you come down and play, I'll teach you how to float!" .
Goten exchanged a look with Trunks.
"If you say so, but Mister, I already know how to float."
The clown thought the boy meant swimming, but was cut off from explaining when the younger of the two boys lifted himself off the ground and hung there, like he was demonstrating the simplest thing in the world.
"I uhh, yeah. Hmm. " The clown was suddenly not so sure of himself.
"Yeah that's an easy one" added Trunks, "but can you do this?"
And with a burst of radiant energy his hair switched from purple to golden sunlight, searing the drain monster with a flash of light that near vaporized it.
Later, Pennywise the Clown found himself pressed into the darkest corner of his own lair, wounded and terrified that the two "children" who we currently rummaging through his pile of treasures would stumble across him.
After a short while, he heard them yelp happily as they found what they were after. He peeked his head out from behind a shadow to see what they had found, and instead watched as they disappeared upwards with a sonic boom.
Pennywise looked at the ruins of his lair, and the small trickle of rocks and dust still falling from the ceiling. He moved over carefully and looked up through the newly created shaft. It went upwards through his sewers, through 20 meters of rock, and straight off into the blue sky.
With an expression of horror, he started having thoughts of picking a new dimension; this one had gotten weird.

爆発の爆発は、笑い声から笑顔に変わった。彼のチャンスを感知して、「それは正しい男の子だよ、ここにはたくさんのボールと楽しいおもちゃがあり、遊びに来たら遊ぶ方法を教えてくれるだろう！ 。
GotenはTrunksと見た目を交換しました。
"あなたがそう言っていればミスターだが、私はすでにフロートする方法を知っている。"
この少年は泳ぎを意味すると思っていたが、2人の少年の若者が地面から離れて吊るされたときに説明を止められ、世界で最もシンプルなものを実演していたようだった。
"ああ、そうだ、うーん、"そのピエロは突然自分のことを確信していなかった。
「うん、それは簡単なことだ」トランクを追加しました。「これはできますか？」
そして光の爆発的なエネルギーで、彼の髪は紫色から金色の太陽光に変わり、それを蒸発させた光の閃光で水切りモンスターを吹き飛ばした。
後で、ペニー・ワイズ・ザ・クローンは自分自身の隠れ家の最も暗い隅に押し込まれ、負傷し、恐怖を抱き、現在は彼の財宝を捜し出している2人の「子供たち」が彼を横断して遭遇する恐れがある。
しばらくすると、彼らは彼らが後になっていることを見つけたので、喜んで歓声を上げました。彼は自分の頭を影の後ろから覗き込んで、見つけたものを見て、代わりに音が上向きに消えていくのを見ました。
Pennywiseは、彼の隠れ家の遺跡と、まだまだ天井から落ちている小さな岩や塵を見ました。 彼は慎重に移動し、新しく作られたシャフトを見上げた。それは彼の下水道を通って、20メートルの岩を通り、青い空にまっすぐに上った。
ホラーの表情で、彼は新しい次元を選ぶという考えを持ち始めました。これは奇妙なものだった。

His power is only as strong as how afraid his enemies are of him, thus why he becomes a whimpering noodle when the kids nut up in the books/movie.
Also, Dragonball characters, for those who arent familiar, are comically overpowered. Even weaker ones, like these two, which are probably a tiny fraction of the stronger characters, have more than enough power to vaporize planets. The stronger ones can do so with small flicks of the finger and when trying can end entire star systems.

u/pasher5620 Jun 26 '18
Doomsday is different in that he literally can’t be beat by the same thing twice, which forces Supes to get creative. They can potentially fight eternally so long as Superman has a yellow sun nearby. Superman can also get to a level where he’s the right hand of God and is essentially omnipotent and uncreate Doomsday.
Also, Superman has taken hits from beings that can shatter planets with a single punch. Goku has not been shown to be able to dish out that kind of power in his physical attacks at a consecutive rate. Ergo he can’t physically hurt Superman past a certain level.
3
u/TheSilverOne Jun 26 '18 edited Jun 26 '18
Also goku just powering up shakes infinity, so arguing his punches can't Shatter planets is stupid. Goku transcends the third dimension, and is above time. Of course goku can Shatter a planet with a punch, but he doesn't because he's a good guy fighting to save planets. Trading punches in ssg form with Beerus damn near had the entire universe collapse on its self, and he's enormously more powerful now.
Dbz fighters were casual planet busters in the Saiyan Saga. Vegeta straight up erases a planet easily before he even got to earth.

Gokus screams shake entire planets with the power he has at the end of super entire planets could be destroyed with a casual wave of his hand ( if beerus can destroy half a planet with a tap and ultra instinct puts goku above gods in power then pretty simple conclusion) dragon ball z goku would lose absolutely I don’t think it would be a domination type thing but he would lose in the end. But with super the level of power that was reached was ridiculous.
2
Jun 26 '18
Lol, you need to catch up on the show. When goku was super saiyan god, he could two punch THE UNIVERSE. He then got two more transformations, which at minimum, made him 1000x more powerful than super saiyan god.
Goku could shatter a planet with .000001% of his power at this point.
3
u/pasher5620 Jun 26 '18
The only reason the universe was threatening to collapse was because ofboth Goku and Beerus’ strength and Beerus wasn’t even coming close to his full power. Goku could not achieve such a feat alone. And while Goku got two more forms after that, SSGSS is the same power level as God it just hits harder whereas God is faster. Ultra Instinct is powerful but it has a time limit as it consumes a lot of energy.
With all of that, Superman has shown feats that easily outmatch those forms without having to soak up the sun for thousands of years.
1
Jun 26 '18
Lol, not even close. Base form frieza (who is magnitudes weaker than golden frieza, who is currently weaker than SSGSS) when he was defeated and out of power, casually blew up the earth is .1 seconds while too weak to even stand.

u/pasher5620 Jun 26 '18
Goku would never use Kryptonite as he values a fair fight above nearly all else, even to the detriment of entire universes.
As for Ultra Instinct, a form more powerful than most gods, while it allows Goku to be able to dodge many things, he can still be hit by anything that can move faster than his body can physically react to. While that is still faster than light by a good margin, Superman has been shown to fly at speeds far faster than anything Goku has achieved outside of Instant Transmission. Superman can also take pretty much any punch Goku could throw at him. Supes has taken hits from beings that can shatter dimensions, Goku hasn’t been shown to match that yet.
Goku also has no defense against Superman’s heat vision. Superman can fry the inside of Goku’s brain before Goku can even move. Superman also has the ability of becoming a god as long as he spends 10,000 years in a yellow sun. If he reaches this state, Goku has literally no chance.
TLDR: while Goku might be able to beat some of Superman’s weaker forms, he would lose solidly once Superman lowers his mental inhibitors.

u/CaptinTexaco Jun 26 '18
I’m sorry I usually ignore a lot of goku vs Superman things but I gotta say you are wrong. Superman has never traveled faster then the speed of light. I believe the fastest he moved was like .1 mph slower then speed of light.
Plus if we go by comics/manga all the energy blasts travel at the speed of light and they have time to have entire inner monologues before getting hit. I don’t think people realize just how fast dbz characters move.
One last thing Superman has also been damaged by nukes where as multiple dbz char have literally swatted away attacks that could destroy entire planets and later in the series galaxies (supposedly) and Superman has almost died from characters as strong as him such as doomsday and zod.
Oh and ultra instinct increases both reactions and power not just the ability to dodge that was only the first stage before he perfected.
So basically: Strength: Superman Speed: goku Technique/experience: goku Powers: Superman
And I would even say in 3 of the categories they have a slight edge over the other the exception being technique. Sorry but if you read Superman comics and dragon ball manga you can see it pretty clearly Superman just powers his way through everything with punching while goku has more of a balanced martial arts fighting style.
6
u/pasher5620 Jun 26 '18
Superman has literally flown across the galaxy in seconds at certain points. He is a far sight faster than light by a considerable margin
Superman can also take hits from Doomsday which can crack planets with ease. The only reason he almost dies to any character is because he has mental blocks that suppress his powers. Once he gets rid of those, he is essentially unstoppable by anyone barring top tier god beings.
2
u/CaptinTexaco Jun 26 '18
The fastest Superman has ever flown on earth is Mach 9350 which is still below light speed however in space you are right he has flown faster then light speed so I was wrong on that part.
Goku fights characters that destroy entire universes with ease getting hit by the very blasts that destroy them with nothing but torn clothes and some scratches.
As I said before Superman has been hit by a nuke and it drained him of all his power for a considerable amount of time. And a nuke is a far cry from a planet busting weapon
The hardest part about arguing against Superman is which Superman am I arguing against silver age, golden age, new 52? And which universe because all of them are different and there are even a few that have removed the moral barrier/ mental blocks and they are powerful one of the most powerful character in all media platforms but so is goku.

Superman can also take pretty much any punch Goku could throw at him. Supes has taken hits from beings that can shatter dimensions, Goku hasn’t been shown to match that yet.
Weren't Goku's punches capable of destroying the universe when he fought Beerus? And he is now hundreds (if not thousands) of times stronger than that.
1
u/pasher5620 Jun 26 '18
He was only capable of that with the combined power of Beerus and Goku and it was only because Goku was letting that power go uncontrolled as he wasn’t used to it which caused the waves.

So once Superman stops being a super bloke in the moral sense he'd win? That's why I said zod would stomp him
And spending 10000 years in a yellow sun is prep time, theres a plethora of characters who with 10,000 years of prep time they'd stand a chance.
If by some non-canon means, goku had 10,000 years of prep I think it'd be a far more equal fight.
But I do concede that if supes dropped all his moral hang ups and got real into murder he'd win in an instant
But supes doesn't kill and he sure as hell doesn't burn people's brains out so
2
u/pasher5620 Jun 26 '18
Supes’ moral hang ups aren’t involved if it’s a straight up death match. He already knows he has to kill. Since this is the case, he’s free to go full power, which is a far sight higher than Goku’s.
I will agree that the 10,000 years is prep time, but once he achieves that state, he can literally make or unmake anyone he wants whether they want it or not. God himself fears this power, but since Superman is such a virtuous person, he chose to make him His right hand instead of killing him.
I don’t think Goku would ever be able to achieve powers similar to this as quite frankly he probably wouldn’t be smart enough to understand the complexities of it.
1
u/mylifeisashitjoke Jun 26 '18
How? It's not supes without his personality. A kryptonian without a permanent moral block is not Superman
That's someone like zod.
I will concede if you strip away everything that defines Superman as superman, he would win. Yes. But that's far too reductive to allow it, it's like how inspector gadget would win any practical fight because his ex machina is rando machines appearing out of his appendages and saving the day.
Take away inspector gadgets magic ex machina and he's a run of the mill quadraplegic with some pretty advanced prosthetics.
Super man without his morals and perfect to a fault personality is the thing that puts him aside from other kryptonians. He's born naturally, and he's got more morals than Jesus H Christ. That's supes.
Remove all of those morals and what seperates him from any other kryptonian apart from putting his y fronts on too late when getting dressed?

Leaving vegetable alive so he can have fisty cuffs again is different from never ever ever killing for moral reasons
The guy loved a good fight. He loved a fight with challenge. Super man does what Superman does because he's just.

Superman saved more than he beat people up, self sacrifice over nailing a guy

That's pretty non canon. I vaguely remember some folk being proper mad about it, even though it was shown as difficult for him.
The argument was probably based on supermans obscene God level abilities and how it was totally unnecessary
I feel like all super hero films ever should be treated as non canon AU. If Superman was full strength in a film it wouldn't have any impact as an action film, it would have to be a story of morality and struggling with godhood surrounded by mortals.
And moral dilemma doesn't fill seats sadly.

Zod is a God level character, because he never had those hang ups. I still think goku would win purely based on the idea of anime power levels. Shonen developed this one up-manship to sell eps and manga over competitors, so he always got even stronger
Strip that away, goku wouldn't be goku. Naruto wouldn't be naruto. Saitama also wouldn't exist

Have you watched dragon ball z? They are literally the most powerful dudes in the universe save a few. Pretty sure pennywise would shit a brick before picking a fight with them.

dragon ball z
Pennywise is too big for Z, but there are some high tiers in DBS that may be able to handle the real form. Avatar is ez though.

The first thing It noticed was the smell of ape-flesh.
At first, It thought It was still dreaming, in Its own way, of those long-forgotten ages after It arrived on this world, when the ancestors of Its prey (the monkeys, the humans, the once and future man-apes) first learned to cook their food with fire- and to fear being cooked by fire themselves. But underneath this aroma was a smell from even further in the Ago. During Its long journey from the outer darkness beyond the stars, It had smelled other worlds than Earth. That same smell lurked beneath the ape-smell, and the surprise of this (another new emotion, one which It despised) woke It fully, to hear...
Childrens’ voices echoing in Its tunnels! This was right. This was good. This was familiar. Alien smell or not, the brats had awoken It and It would now feed.
Hours later, It discovered the source of the voices, and the alien-smell, and for the second time that day, It was (fraidy-cat!) surprised. The children were floating, they were (ha-ha all OVER you!) mocking It, this power was Its (MINE) alone and it would make them pay in blood and fear, oh yes. It shrieked, and the noise made them afraid, and this was right and good. In one, a father (an alien, a monkey alien?) with severe eyes and sweeping black (or was it gold?) hair. It sneered at this. They were human enough. But in the other, the black-haired child with ... a CLOWN. An alien clown, with sharp teeth, a purple-crested head and a long tail It could feel taking shape and a name which as the children turned and saw It for the first time took shape (freeze, ah say, freeze boy, I gotcha) in Its mind...
But just as It began to speak, something strange happened: the blue-haired boy noticed something in the tunnel, a small orange orb, buried in the rubble, and there the rest of the story passes out of all knowledge, even my own.
I’m sad to say, I don’t know how it got there, or what stories got mixed up and passed along to those boys, or how they found their way to our world in the first place. What I do know is that in late 1983, a young man named Son Goten and a young man named Trunks Breef went searching for something called a Dragon Ball beneath the City of Dis (otherwise known as Derry, Maine) and instead found the Orange Bend and its fearsome guardian... and that one year later- exactly one year later- on the other side of the world, an up-and-coming author named Akira Toriyama celebrated the first issue of his new manga, Dragon Ball, about a young boy searching for orange orbs under the guidance of an old man called the Turtle Hermit.
