Warrior of the Future: An old friends plea…

Gohan lies on the ground wounded and beaten as Frieza continues to blast away. Nearly four hundred of his minions watch in joy as their leader tears apart their enemy. Bulma and the Z-fighters are speechless in despair.

"hohoho what fun this is, but a last I want Son Goku and I wont settle for just you whelps!" Frieza powers up another blast from his finger tips and wit ha simple point at his target he unleashes death. Gohan is helpless watching his fate decided for him…but Piccolo has a deferent agenda as he uses himself as a shield for Gohan. The blast rips through his chest and Piccolo falls to the ground dead.

"Piccoloooooooo!" Gohan wakes in his bed with sweat running down body he glances out his window to see Videl, Bulma and Chi-chi enjoying a nice afternoon. It's been nearly six days since Goku Vegeta and Piccolo have gone off to find the Super Dragon Balls. Gohan feels weak and cant stand constantly being saved. He walks over to his old blue training Gi and tightens his red belt. He wont be a weakling anymore.

As he walks out they're shocked to see Gohan in his training gear, and his hair cut a little shorter with hair spiked once more. "Gohan?" Videl questions looking at the serious look on her love's face. "I understand." She tells him giving him a hug.

"Everyone I'll be heading to the Lookout to train I'll be back in a week." He tells them. Chi-chi of course screams at him asking why he cant train here, but Gohan explains he cant go all out since everyone will be so close to him and with that he's off.

He draws closer to the look out seeing the new repaired building. He lands to the greetings of Mr. Popo and Dende. "Gohan it's been so long!" Dende tells him in joy of his old friends arrival.

"Yeah sorry it's been while."

"What brings you to the look out?"

"I heard you rebuilt the room of spirit and time."

"Oh wow you're going to train that great we have a visitor here that would love to help you with that!"

"Really who?" Gohan questions.

"Long time no see Gohan, you got scrawny on me." It takes Gohan no time to recognize his old ally.

"Trunks?!" Yes Trunks but not the young kid and friend of Goten this the Trunks from an alternate future who came back to the past and stop the Androids and help defeat Cell. He wasn't an Adult but a few years had been added to him he was at least twenty now.

"Oh my god why are you here, is everything ok, how's your mom?" Gohan begins questioning him.

"That's just it everything isn't fine."

"What's going on?"

"In my time Frieza has been resurrected he even got a new gold form and destroyed the earth even at my full strength I couldn't stop him. Everyone is dead…" Trunks clinches his fist looking down. "I've come for Goku and my father's help they're the only ones who can help me now." Trunks story hit's a nerve in Gohan.

"I'm sorry trunks but that's going to be impossible."

"What, why?"

"Our dad's, Piccolo, and a few other's our somewhere in the universe fighting the God of Destruction's champions to keep earth safe." Gohan explains.

"If that's true then all is lost." Trunks states in despair.

"No not yet." Gohan replies.

"What do you mean?"

"I'll help." He tells Trunks.

"But Gohan at your current power…"

"I know Dende!" Gohan interrupts. "We still have a day left one the Room of spirit and time right; with that we'll get the power we need and I'll regain my lost strength." He explains.

"Do you really think we can do it?" Trunks asks him.

"Of course we can; we're our father's sons aren't we?" Gohan smiles.

"Well if you guy's really are going to do this then right this way." Mr. Popo escorts them to the room of spirit and time. The two Z-warriors enter the room. The enhanced gravity and thin air at first catches Gohan off guard but his body quickly adjusts while it doesn't faze Trunks one bit.

"Alright we got exactly 365 days of training on our hands, what should we do first?" Trunks asks.

"Well first let's see how strong you've gotten Trunks." Gohan suggest.

"You first." Trunks smiles.

"Well fine but you'll be disappointed, I haven't trained in six months and I can barely go super Saiyan right now."

"Wait really?" Trunks is shocked as Gohan powers up. The once simple form of Super Saiyan has now become a struggling effort for him. "Wow you really are weaker."

"huh…huh…huh…I must keep going…power up trunks…huh…huh…we'll fight now." Gohan orders.

"If you say so." Trunks beings to power up and Gohan watches as his friend's power washes over his own like a tidal wave. "This is my full power!" Trunks stands with a smirk as his power in Super Saiyan two is twice as strong as Gohan's when he was a kid.

"What are you waiting for an invitation?" Gohan jokes.

"Hm…funny." Trunks dashes forward full power.


Next time - The training of future Trunks and Gohan begins. Trunks shows signs of surpassing super saiyan two while Gohan quickly catches up to his once massive battle as his body begins to rebuild back it's lost structure and unlock the now slumbering power…
