"Sparking Energy"
Introduction: Act 1
"Alright, Trunks! Show me what you got!"
The kid grinned in excitement again before letting a roar escape from his throat, flying towards his sparring partner and throwing a punch to his face, only for it to be dodged quickly, Gohan kicked him without hesitation in the stomach, sending Trunks back to where he flew from. The latter didn't lose time and stood up, throwing a Ki blast to the half-breed, only for it to be deflected to the left by the hand of his opponent.y had been doing this all the afternoon, and Trunks hadn't hit the warrior, not even once.
Unknown by Gohan, Trunks flew to his right, preparing a fist and, when it seemed that it would connect with Gohan's cheek, the warrior quickly moved his arm to the right, guarding himself against the punch effortlessly before retaliating with a Ki blast from his left hand, Trunks being reached by it and damaged, losing his focus over Gohan and leaving an opening for his opponent, who didn't hesitate a moment and punched him in the face, sending him to where he flew from, again.
This time, Trunks didn't stand up but instead lied in the floor, rubbing his now sore nose, tears threatening to fall from his eyes. It made Gohan feel really bad for it, but he had to show Trunks that his enemies wouldn't show him kindness, they never showed that to Gohan, so Trunks would have to grow used to roughness, although, a part of Gohan was telling him he was already used to it, after all, Vegeta wouldn't let his offspring be weak, he was too proud of his heritage to do so.
"No fair Gohan! You're sixteen while I'm seven! That punch really hurt!" Trunks yelled to him with a cracking voice, still placing his hand on his nose, and Gohan just sighed. "You're right, Trunks, maybe I overdid it a bit, but just for you to know, enemies won't care about your age."
A "Huh?" was emitted by Trunks, indicating that the affirmation was confusing to him, and so, Gohan would have to explain himself. "You see, Trunks, there are many aliens in the space who could attack our planet, that's the reason behind our training, to protect our home from those who want to destroy it."
Trunks blinked before questioning with an innocent hint of amazement in his voice. "You mean that aliens attacked earth before? And what happened?"
Gohan frowned at the memory of Vegeta and Nappa arriving that time to earth, in that fateful day where good people died, even though these people, Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha and Piccolo were revived, it still sickened him to recall that day. "Yes, Trunks, that happened, and we gotta be prepared for when it happens again, we must continue to get stronger."
His father trusted on him, his father left him as the protector of the earth, and Gohan would protect the planet at all costs, even if that meant dying because his father didn't hesitate in doing so. He would honor his memory by getting stronger and protecting his home and loved ones.
"Leaving that matter aside, Trunks, "
"Huh?"
Gohan raised an inquisitive eyebrow before asking "How was your day in school?"
Trunks' gaze turned into a one that showed an enormous, colossal sense of boredom; it happened every day, Gohan and he had a bout before the former asked him if he did his homework and stuff like that, which was boring! How could a person so powerful be so focused on books, math, and all that stuff?
"It was boring as ever! I don't know why you keep asking that, Gohan! School is boooring!" Trunks shouted placing his hands in his mouth, making his shout louder, and Gohan chuckled in mirth; perhaps things hadn't changed and wouldn't change for Trunks, he didn't like school, but still, he was a genius, he inherited it from Bulma, he supposed.
He still remembered that day when Trunks showed him his 'greatest creation', a killer robot with sharp claws, knives, daggers that also prepared ramen, and Gohan didn't know how the robot did it! Whether the robot was turned off and lost somewhere in the massive Briefs residence or if it was still working and being used by Trunks was a mystery for the half-breed.
"That's why I prefer fighting Goten! He doesn't ask me about school." Trunks spoke again, and Gohan just looked to the sky. "Maybe Goten would like to be around other kids in a school, Trunks."
Trunks remained silent before ruthlessly body Gohan with all his exclamations and affirmations. "If he wants that then he can go to the park in Hercule City! He doesn't need to go to stupid school as I do! He haves it easier then me!"
Before continuing with his ruthless declarations, Trunks recalled something. "Hey, Gohan! Weren't you going to a high school tomorrow?"
Gohan was caught off guard by that and his face turned into a desperate one. "O-Oh no! That's right! See you tomorrow Trunks!"
With that, Gohan flew at full speed from the spot close to the Briefs residence, and whereas he directed towards his house in Mount Paozu, Vegeta went out of the gravity chamber with a towel and sweating profusely, his upper body being bare, only wearing the shorts made specifically for training, glancing to the direction where Gohan flew before looking to his son, who looked at him back at hearing the sound of the door from the chamber opening.
"Where did the son of Kakarot went?" He questioned, and Trunks just stood from the ground while replying "I don't know, I just told him he was going to school tomorrow and then he went flying."
"Hmph, that weakling." Vegeta just said, entering the house followed by his son; although it irritated Vegeta that such a powerful warrior like Gohan wanted to go to the "school", something that only limited his strength like all these books and stupid nonsense made for geniuses, like getting a job, Vegeta was glad that the son of his greatest rival was keeping up with the training as he himself did, he couldn't wait to test his strength someday and see if he could give him the challenge his father once gave him, Vegeta's blood pumped at this thought.
"Dad, Gohan said this planet was attacked by aliens once, is that true?" Trunks innocently asked, and Vegeta glanced at him with his almost perpetual stern gaze, recalling that time when Frieza and his father attacked the planet only to be stopped by his son from the future and then recalling how Cooler, the brother of Frieza assaulted them one day, but the idiot of Kakarot dealt with him.
Then these galactic warriors appeared out from nowhere and attacked the planet, the son of Kakarot only had to use the second level of super Saiyan to blast them into oblivion, of course, Vegeta himself fought with all of them!
No one had attacked the planet once since that, apart from Cell, of course, but that happened after the arrival of Cooler and before the arrival of Bojack and his group of idiots. "Yes, it was attacked, why do you ask that, brat?"
"Because I want to get stronger! Gohan told me they could appear at any moment, so I want to be strong when that happens!" Trunks affirmed with a face as tough as his father's, and the latter couldn't help but feel a strong sense of pride at the fact that his offspring wanted to augment his strength.
"If that is, then prepare yourself, because I will make you stronger, got it?!" Vegeta questioned with a hard tone, and contrary to what other people would do at hearing Vegeta's shout, Trunks stayed and retorted in the same tone "I promise I'll not disappoint you, father!"
Gohan felt very dumb at what he had done; he completely forgot about packing all the things inside his school bag! How could he commit such a mistake? His mother would be angry at him when he arrived, but there was the possibility of her not searching for his bag to make sure he packed everything, then she wouldn't be angry, but knowing his mother, who was very serious when it came to school, he leaned towards the former scenario.
Coming close to his house, Gohan found three triceratops babies squealing, alone in the mountains, and a sympathetic smile made its way to his face as he landed close to them glancing around, looking for any predator stalking the babies, achieving success in finding said predator, which was a massive Tyrannosaurus, nothing he couldn't handle.
The beast cocked its head to the side at catching sight of him, the animal was obviously confused at seeing the Saiyan standing in front of the babies, but Gohan knew that the beast came here to eat the triceratops trio, so he did the best thing he could do until the mother came.
Entertain the Tyrannosaurus and give him some food.
"It's been awhile, glad to see me?" Gohan asked as if the creature could understand his language, only earning a roar and a lunge from it, and before the beast could get closer, Gohan hopped over its head and, grabbing it by its horn, he went flying along with the creature, whose roars could be heard across the mountains.
As Gohan flew with the massive reptile, he could see that a big triceratops came to the rescue of the babies, it was obviously their mother, triceratops mothers were very violent and territorial, yet so caring about their babies, maybe she was fighting another predator while that tyrannosaurus approached her offspring.
Nonetheless, Gohan knew he would have to return the tyrannosaurus to his natural territory, moving creatures from one place to another could cause…problems, and he wasn't willing to deal with these problems.
He would just give the tyrannosaurus some good fished and then he would leave it be in nature, he was doing this just because he felt bad for the triceratops.
Everything went smoothly, and Gohan retrieved the tyrannosaurus to its home, safe and sound, and he walking towards the entrance of his house, the sky was already dark and full of stars, indicating that the night kicked in plenty of time ago.
Now his mother HAD a reason to be angry at him.
His predictions were correct because when he knocked on his door and his mother opened it, knowing who was knocking in, she put a severe expression and commenced to body him with questions all over.
"Where had you been, Son Gohan? I told you, you shouldn't train at late hour!" She yelled, and Gohan just scratched his head's backside nervously. "I can explain it! I've been helping a Triceratops mother with her babies and-"
"Your brother went to sleep long ago! And besides…" His mother pulled his school bag and showed it to him, looking at him with a scolding gaze, and Gohan's gaze fell to the ground, knowing what she would tell him. "I'm sorry for not packing everything…"
"Being sorry will not pack your notebooks and tools, you must prepare for tomorrow, Gohan! It's a prestigious academy the one you are going to!"
It was true; as if it was work of a miracle, Gohan got a place in the premises of Honnouji Academy thanks to Bulma, and once his mother found out that, she ruthlessly reminded him that it was a prestigious place and all that, and Gohan, well, he felt a bittersweet sensation.
Although he was still curious as to what awaited him in that place, it would be his first time going to high school and curiosity taking over was inevitable.
But for now, he would have to deal with his mother and get prepared for tomorrow.
Pretty simple start huh? I wanted to start as smoothly as possible, with a short 2K words chapter, but I hope you all like it. As you all see, I made some changes in the canon for this verse, such as Gohan keeping up with his training instead of...well, you all know.
See you later.
