"Gohan!"
Gohan diverted his attention downwards, looking at the ruined city, buildings slowly toppling over their own weight, what remained of the populous screaming in fear, he looked down to see a Purple haired boy, a boy he knew.
"Trunks, what? What are you doing here!? It's not safe!" Gohan shouted, mostly in anger of himself, he didn't get here quick enough, he wasn't fast enough, nor strong enough to beat them, even if he'd gotten here fast enough.
"I.. I.. needed to help, I couldn't just let those monsters. I couldn't just let them terrorise us!" Trunks cried, tears crawling down his face clutching a fist so hard veins were popping out of his arms
"Train me Gohan! Please! I'm a half-Saiyan just like you!"
Gohan flew down to him, and looked directly into his eyes, he had his mother's eyes, Bulma's eyes, but he could see past those eyes, he saw his father's spirit, Saiyan spirit, he could recognise it a mile away. He kneeled down to his level, looked him directly into his eyes.
"Yes, I'll train you" a smile was brought to his face as he said it, he was reminded of his own master, Piccolo, the valiant Namekian, who when the Cyborgs attacked, saved him once more, he will forever owe him for that, and vows to pay it back, how else could he do it than passing on his fighting prowess.
Trunks' crying stopped, and he looked at Gohan, the way a son would look at a father, and he wrapped his arms around him, as tight has he could.
"Thank you Gohan"
Trunks and Gohan both returned to Capsule corp, where Gohan was reunited with Bulma, for the first time since Vegeta died, Bulma looked at him, tears brought to her eyes
"Gohan! You're alive?!" she dropped the equipment she was carrying and scurried towards him arms embraced for a hug, which Gohan accepted with open arms
"Gohan's gonna train me mom, I'm going to be a super saiyan like dad!" Trunks said, with a huge grin on his face
Bulma immediately released her hold on Gohan
"You're what?" She shouted, spiting her words in Gohan's face, followed by a slap
"Ow- Bulma it's not as it seems, Trunks is like me, he's a Saiyan and-"
Bulma slaps him again "Are you forgetting that Vegeta was a Saiyan, he still died Gohan, I won't.." she clutches Gohan's gi "I can't lose him, he's all I have left!"
Gohan looks at her, in her blue eyes the ones she passed to Trunks "Bulma, you know more than anyone what one Super Saiyan can do, you know how powerful they are, Trunks is a saiyan like me, if there's two of us, we might just" He pauses " We might just stand a chance"
Bulma's face, still sturn"you're just going to train him, and ONLY! When he's as strong as you, or even stronger, then, and only then her will fight do you understand me?" She shouts, looking up at Gohan, who not saying a word, just nods at her.
