*~East District 439~*

*~Videl~*

After breakfast, Gohan and Videl went outside to the field they spared in, where Gohan was proposing an idea.

"So your telling me," she said, in a disbelieving tone, "That we can train for a WHOLE YEAR in a single day?"

"Look, I know it sounds like I've gone crazy," 'You have no idea.' "But It's true! Dad and I used it to train for the Cell Games, and I spent months inside in Super Saiyan, never dropping out of it. Heck, I didn't even spend a full year in there, and I managed to not only reach Super Saiyan, but dad told me that I went beyond!" He said, trying to convince her.

"Wait, what do you mean by 'beyond'?" Videl said, curiosity spiked.

"Oh!" Gohan exclaimed, face-palming, "I didn't use it against Cell! I could've stood more of a chance!"

"Uhh, Gohan?" Videl said, trying to get his attention.

"But instead, I just HAD to attack him in a blind rage, didn't I?" He went off, ignoring her.

"Gohan!" she tried again, to no avail.

"If only I went at it with a clear head," he said, still ignoring her, "Maybe I would've-"

"GOHAN!" Videl yelled, obviously having had enough with him ignoring her. "What do you mean by 'going beyond'?"

Gohan looked like he was thinking about something, when he suddenly snapped his fingers, and said, "It's kinda hard to explain, so why don't I just show you?" before he jumped into Super Saiyan.

Videl, getting confused, just looked on, curiosity spiked, while he clenched his fists, a low growl escaping him. Then, his aura, which was barely visible, suddenly intensified, bathing him in golden flames. Sparks were dancing along his form, but he payed no mind to it, instead, growling even louder as he went through more changes. His eyes, which were teal, darkened slightly, while his hair, which had two small bangs, lengthened slightly, while the two bangs in his forehead seemed to force themselves together, forming a single long bang in front of his eyes. His muscles seemed to bulk up, before they shrunk, making him slightly taller in the process, while giving him a leaner look. When he was done, he relaxed, and turned to Videl. While he was relaxed, his aura was more visible than before, with the occasional spark dancing on his form. His face, while usually carefree, had a scowl painted on it, before he calmed himself down. Every time he made the jump, he would have to relive those painful memories, but it was getting easier.

Videl was openly gawking at him. She didn't expect him to know about the form. The only one she knew who used it was her older sister, Sydney. And boy, did she rub it in her face. But knowing Gohan could reach this form gave her a new goal: to 'go beyond' as Gohan called it.

Turning towards him, she said, "Alright Gohan, I'm going to believe you. I want to go to this 'Room of Spirit and Time', and I'm going to 'go beyond' just like you, but I want you to help me."

He looked at her, and smiled. "Sure," he said, "After all, you did ask me to train you."


*~The Lookout~*

*~Gohan~*

"Erasa, tell me again WHY you wanted to come with us?" Gohan heard Videl say for the fifth time. Apparently, Erasa accidentally heard their conversation and, not wanting to feel helpless like the first time Cell was around, asked them if she could tag along. Videl demanded that she stay with the Son's, or at least with Tien, but Erasa proved to be even more stubborn than Videl.

So now, here he was, pushing along Erasa's Jetcopter while the two argued.

"I already told you why, Videl!" Erasa yelled, "I am not going to just do nothing this time! Did you know that Cell freaking blew me and mom up! Do you know how that feels? It's horrible, and Dad told me that he was so mad, he nearly killed himself just TRYING to hurt Cell!," she yelled, this time shutting up Videl. Erasa never told Videl this, because she knew that she already hated the bug. This was just another reason why she should hate the mutant grasshopper.

Videl was now talking in a quiet voice. "So that's why I couldn't call you guys while your family was away..." All Videl knew about that time was that Tien and Launch moved to a temporary house on an island, away from civilization, in hopes on not 'running into trouble'. From what, she didn't know. What she didn't know, was that while Cell was blowing up islands, looking for Amanda, or Android Eighteen, the island Launch and Erasa were on was bombarded with his blasts. Tien, when he felt the ki of his wife and daughter disappear, confronted Cell once again, this time on a one-on-one. As he was about to get killed, he was saved by Vegeta, of all people, but only because of his obsession of beating the strongest warrior at his prime. After that, Tien received a senzu from Mirai Trunks, after Cell was already in his Perfect form, making him far too powerful for Tien to even THINK about revenge. But later on, during Gohan's final bout with Cell, Tien, along with the rest of the Z-Fighters (including a furious Vegeta, who had just lost his future son), managed to hit Cell with enough power to break his concentration, providing Gohan with the perfect opportunity to finish Cell off.

Gohan was floored by this information. He never knew about ANY of this. Tien never mentioned it during the whole Cell fiasco. He looked at Erasa through the rear window of the Jetcopter, she was close to tears, having to relive the memory of her sudden death. Videl was looking at her in shock, never expecting her friend to have experienced death.

Gohan almost sighed in relief when he saw The Lookout. The atmosphere in the Jetcopter was far too sad for his liking. Informing them of their near-arrival by tapping the glass in front of them, he successfully knocked them out of their musings, letting them prepare for a landing.

Gohan let go of the Jetcopter, instantly appearing in the Pilot's seat, with the controls in his hands. He directed the protesting aircraft upwards through the last 100 meters. Just as he cleared the edge of the lookout, it finally gave out, with it not being designed to fly that high.

Grabbing a gym bag each, they capsulated the Jetcopter. When Videl and Erasa actually payed attention to where they were, they stood there in shock. They were on a floating palace, with little plants growing out of gardens. The circular platform was covered with square tiles, and the palace-like structure was flanked by two weird towers that were held up by a thin support. Seeing Gohan entering the palace knocked them out of their shock however, and they ran in order to catch up...

...only to run into a dark figure.

This man was wearing a red genie's outfit, complete with a turban that had a large blue jewel in the center, and pointed shoes. The most unsettleing thing about him, however, was his blank stare, and constant smile.

"What are you three maggots doing here?" He asked, looking at Gohan for his answer.

Gulping nervously, Gohan said, "Uh, hi Mr. Popo. Do you by any chance know where Dende is? We need to use the Room of Spirit and Time."

"The maggot is outside, in the back," Mr. Popo said, turning and walking away.

Gohan breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Popo gave him the creeps. "Come on," he said. "Let's go meet Kami."

Walking behind the palace, they found Dende, in a lawn chair, sipping a drink from a pineapple. He was snickering as he watched on, too caught up in whatever he was doing to notice the three teens.

Videl and Erasa stared. Little. Green. Man.

"Really Dende?" Gohan said, catching the Guardian's attention. "Messing up Vegeta's life again? One of these days, Earth's going to need a new guardian." he said, shaking his head at his old friend.

"What?" Dende asked, "Guardians are supposed to protect their planets from threats!"

Putting a hand on his shoulder, Gohan saw what Dende was doing, and he said, "You're protecting the Earth, by messing with his Soap Operas?"


*~West City~*

*~Vegeta~*

Vegeta was sitting on his couch, watching a 'pathetic human's show' that he somehow got hooked onto.

"Just say it, Carmen. Tell me you love me." The male actor pleaded.

"Can't you see she's with another man? She's going to leave you!" Vegeta screamed at the TV.

"A-Alexander, I-" Was all the female actor said, before the station's antenna mysteriously gave out, and the frustrated screams of housewives (including Vegeta) rang throughout West City.


*~The Lookout~*

*~Gohan~*

Dende started cracking up, while Gohan was chuckling. Vegeta really got into his soaps. Turning to his other friends, Gohan introduced them. "Dende, these two are friends from school, Videl and Erasa. Videl, Erasa, this is Dende, the shortest guardian the Earth has ever had."

"Hey! I'm not that short!" Dende protested, glaring at Gohan.

"You know I'm only messing with you, Dende," Gohan said, giving him a Son Grin.

"I know you are," Dende said, switching his glare to a smile. "So, what are you here for?"

"Didn't you see what happened down there?" Gohan asked, looking at Dende strangely.

"Well, someone had to ruin a certain Saiyan Prince's life," Dende said, crossing his arms.

"What did you do to him?" Gohan asked, in a tired voice.

"Gave him ED." he simply said.

"...What?"

"Nothing to concern you about. Now, tell me what happened."

"So let me get this straight," Dende said, after getting filled in. "Cell's back, stronger than ever, Goku's back, with a new transformation, and you want to use the time chamber again, to get stronger. Did I miss anything?" he asked, a sarcastic tone to his voice.

"Aww come on, Dende! Don't be like that! Just let us use the chamber!" Gohan pleaded.

Dende suddenly laughed, "All I wanted to do was mess with you. Of course I'll let you use it," he said, before continuing, "I managed to change the time chamber to how I told you I would do it."

Gohan got excited. "You mean..."

"Yup!" Dende exclaimed, before saying, "More than one person can go inside, and you can go in there a many times as you want, but you can still only go in one year at a time."

"Dende, you're a freaking genius!" Gohan exclaimed, heading towards the palace.

"Don't I know it?" Dende said, following him. He then turned around, addressing the girls. "You two coming, or what?" he said, making them scramble towards Gohan. When Erasa passed by him, Dende suddenly grabbed her arm, startling the girl. "I need to talk to you," he said, getting serious.

"What do you need to talk to me about, Kami?" Erasa said, getting nervous.

"Just Dende is fine. I don't really like to be called Kami. It never really suited me." he said, trying to help her relax. He then took out a small book, one that looked like a mini encyclopedia. He opened it, flipping towards the table of contents. After finding what he was looking for, he said, "Do you know what this book is?"

Shaking her head no, she said "No, what is it?"

"This is called The Guardian's Book. It contains information about every single person that ever walked the Earth." he said, grabbing the corner.

"How can it hold information on EVERYONE? That looks to thin for that." she said, skeptical.

"It expands," he said, stretching it from it's corner. It was now the size of a large encyclopedia.

"Oh, she said, looking at it with surprise. Then, she got an idea. "Wait, does it say every little detail, like, let's say, who their parents are?" She asked, hopeful. Don't get her wrong, she loves Tien and Launch with all of her heart, but it would be nice to know.

Turning the book to face her, she saw that it showed her birthday, age, favorite hobbies, likes, dislikes, and even where she was born. "That's not right," she said, looking at the location. "It says here, that I'm born on a planet called Loiro, where I was sent from my parents, Amigável (Mom: Ah-me-gay-vel), and Falador (Dad: Pha-la-door), just before it's destruction at the hands of Frieza."she read, before it hit her. "I-I'm an alien?"

Dende just nodded. "When I found out you three were coming, I did some research on you and Videl, to make sure you guys were good. When I read yours, I noticed the caption under 'deepest desire' that read 'Wishes to know who real parents are', so here," he said, pulling out a much smaller book from his robes. Handing it to her, he said. "This little pamphlet contains all the info I could find on your parents. I also took the liberty of including the info on your race, if you wanted to know about it."

"Th-thanks," she said, reaching for it with shaking hands. After she got it, she hugged Dende, thanking him.

Patting her back, he said, "Don't you need to go with Gohan and Videl?"

"Oh, right! She yelled, squeezing him once more, before catching up with her friends, who were waiting for her.

"So, what did Dende want to tell you?" Gohan asked, curious at his friends behavior. Normally, Dende would tell you in front of other people. This must've been serious.

"Apparently, I'm an alien." she said, looking at their shocked faces.

Gohan was the first one to recover, having actually seen other aliens, many of which were actually humanoid.

"Did he tell you who your parents were?" he asked.

She held up the pamphlet, which she figured out expanded, just like the Guardian's Book. "He put all he found out about them, and my... ...race in here." she said, looking through it.

Looks like you finally found your about your parents, huh?" Videl said with a smirk. She had tried to help Erasa find her parents, but ended up with nothing.

Just then, Dende walked in. "Aren't you all supposed to be inside the chamber by now?" he asked.

Gohan face-palmed himself. "Oh, right! Videl, Erasa, let's go!" he said, opening a set of heavy wooden doors, and walked inside the chamber, the two girls right behind him.


*~Room of Spirit and Time~*

*~Videl~*

Looking around the room, Videl easily memorized the layout. They were in some sort of living room area, with four doors, two large couches, and an archway that led to the training grounds. After a little inspection, she found that two of the doors led to a set of bedrooms, each with for beds each, meaning that up to right people could go inside at once. Another door led to a kitchen, with a pantry that refilled itself, or so Gohan told her. The last door let to a a hallway with eight doors, each a bathroom on it's own. Walking back to the living room area, she found Erasa on a sofa, looking through the pamphlet.

"Find anything interesting about your race?" she asked, gaining Erasa's attention.

"Yeah," she said. "Apparently, my race doesn't eat much, rivaled Saiyans in strength, and has a transformation that can make me stronger, and are very durable," she said, looking it over. "Huh, wonder what that means."

"That's cool, what about your parents?" Videl asked, taking a seat next to Erasa.

After a few minutes of reading the pamphlet, she said, "Well, it said here that my mom was a scientist, a good one at that, and my dad was a warrior, one of the best in their planet. They meet each other while they were kids, and got together in their twenties, having me not long after that. When the planet was endangered by Frieza, they sent me to Earth, just a it detonated. Look, there's a picture of them!" she said, looking at a lose piece of paper that fell out.

Showing it to Videl, she saw a blond couple. The man was dressed in what resembled Saiyan armor, without shoulder pads. It did have thigh guards, though, and it was colored blue and black. He had blue eyes, with a handsome face, and a messy haircut. He had his wife wrapped in his powerful arms. The resemblance to Erasa was uncanny, to the point that you would've mistaken them as twins, save for the long hair, which cascaded down behind her, reaching to her mid-back, and her brown eyes, as opposed to Erasa's bob cut and blue eyes. She had on casual-looking clothes, with what resembled a lime green T-shirt, and khaki pants. In her arms was a bundled-up baby, obviously Erasa. The two were smiling at the camera, without a care in the world.

Looking at Erasa, she found tears in her eyes, with a small smile. "They look like a good couple, don't they?

"They do," said Gohan, as he came from the direction of a bathroom, already dressed in his purple gi. "Come on, Videl, let's leave Erasa here for a bit. We can start training, if you want." he said.

Giving him a nod, Videl got up, and went to get dressed.

Once she was dressed in her white tank top, a blue short sleeved shirt, and black spandex shorts, she went out to the training grounds, only to freeze in shock. All there was out here, was white. There was no clear floor, there was just white. But she knew there was a floor, because Gohan was standing on it, already in Super Saiyan 2, his aura raging, with lightning crackling around him. When he noticed her, he stopped, still in his ascended form, and said with a smile, "Come on, Videl! Let's get started!" he said. Just as she was about to go out, his eyes widened as he remembered something. "Watch your step!" he yelled, to no avail. A soon as her foot made contact with the ground, she was sent crashing down, as she suddenly felt heavier. She struggled a bit with the extra weight, before she finally got it. Stomping towards Gohan, she was panting by the time she reached him. He chucked a bit, before he said, "You have it easy. I wasn't even half a good as you are with ten times gravity when I was a kid."

"T-ten *pant* T-times? It f-feels like *pant* I-I weigh a ton!" she managed to say between pants.

"That's because your body isn't used to lifting a much as you weigh now. You probably weigh half a ton." he said, before adding, "Don't worry, it gets easier with time, and you'll be a lot stronger than you were. When you get used to this, try to stay as a Super Saiyan as long as you can, and if you can get to a month, without dropping it, we'll move on to trying to get you to ascend. Does that sound good to you?" he asked, getting a nod from her as a response. "Alright. When you get used to the gravity, call me over.I'm going to go and see if I can trash Erasa the basics of ki." he said, as he went inside.

When he walked inside, she stated going trough her forms, frowning when she noticed how slow she was, compared to the outside. By the time she managed to go through all of them, she was sweating profusely, but she managed to get some of her old speed back. So she went at it again. And again, and again, until after five hours of grueling work, she managed to get back to her old speed.

She then made her way over to the living area, ready for a meal.

Over with Gohan, he was currently out in the little platform connected with the living area, trying to help Erasa draw out her ki. When he left Videl over an hour ago, he patiently waited for Erasa to finish looking at the information Dende have her. After an hour, she went and got dressed in a white karate gi she used to use, but still fit her. The two of them then made their way out into the platform, where Erasa stared in shock of the training grounds. After a few minutes of just silent staring, she managed to knock herself out of it, and followed Gohan's instructions, siting down cross-legged, breathing in deeply as she tried to bring her power out to the surface.

Four and a half hours after he left Videl, he informed Erasa that he was going to get started on lunch. Instead of replying, she just nodded, still trying to call out her ki.

While he cooked, he was aware of a presence in there with him. As he was finishing up the food, he turned around and saw Videl, sitting at the table, with a look of hunger on her face. He chuckled, and set down a large plate in front of her, stacked with food. She immediately attacked it, finishing it in record time. Setting down another in front of her while he worked on his first plate, the two went at it.

After filling up the bottomless pits they called a stomach, Videl finally noticed something. "Gohan, why are you still in the ascended form?" she said, as she took in his blond hair, with the lone bang in front if his face, and the occasional crackle of static. He was obviously suppressing his power, as he was gathering the plates they used without braking them. While he washed the plates, he said, "I'm trying to master 'Super Saiyan 2' by staying in it a long as possible," to which he received a nod.

After that was done, he went outside, checked up on Erasa, who by this time, managed to make a turquoise ball of ki. After telling her to keep making more until it became second nature (after a good rest, of course. That did take a lot out of her), he went just outside the platform, where he started doing some light training. After an hour, his body forced him out of his ascended form, not being able to handle it after nearly seven continuous hours. The most he had ever done was six hours during a training session around a year ago. Collapsing to his knees, he was barely able to hold onto the regular Super Saiyan form, only through his mastery of it did he hold it. Stumbling back in the living area, he was meet with a worried Videl, who was watching him through her own training, and got worried when he collapsed. "What happened?" she asked, looking him over. Erasa then walked in, still forming ki balls, but it had become easy enough to the point that she could now walk around while doing it. "Yeah Gohan, what happened?" she asked. "One second, you were training like you've just started, and the next, you're on the floor, and the lighting stopped going around you." she finished, a curious look in her eyes.

"It's nothing," he said, ignoring the non-believing looks coming from the two. "I was just forced out of Super Saiyan Two, because I pushed myself too hard. I wasn't as careful as I thought."

Nodding their heads, the two girls figured out that all he needed was rest.

"Hey, Videl," he said, gaining her attention as the two were leaving. "Did you get used to the gravity?" he asked, standing up.

"Yeah, I did, why?" she asked, looking at him.

"Are you up for a quick spar?" he asked, already heading out the archway.

Following him outside, she said, "Sure, but are you sure you're up for it? You were in pretty bad shape a few minutes ago," she said, obviously still worried about him.

"I'm fine," he said, before she shut him up.

"You are not fine," she said. "You basically just collapsed from exhaustion! Go and train Erasa for now, while I try holding Super Saiyan, okay?" she suggested, leading him over to Erasa, who was now able to make ki balls without too much strain.

Sighing in resignation, he simply nodded his consent, and trained Erasa, while Videl transformed, and followed Gohan's lead, taking it easy.


*~Five Months Later~*

*~Gohan~*

Gohan was currently standing in front of Videl, in a sparring stance. Just a month ago, she managed to stay in her Super Saiyan form for a whole month, and now, they were going to attempt to get her to ascend into Super Saiyan two. "Are you ready Videl?" Gohan asked, powering up to the Super Saiyan two form.

Nodding at him, she said, "As ready as I'll ever be, Gohan

Nodding at her, he suddenly kept at her, phasing out of sight, only to reappear in front of her. Knocking her away with a simple back hand, he said, "Alright. From now until this spar ends, pretend I'm Cell," before he appeared in her line of sight again, kicking her upwards.

Gritting her teeth in pain, Videl managed to right herself, and managed to replace Gohan's form with Cell in her mind. Snarling, she leaped at Gohan, and managed to hit him across the cheek, but he managed to shrug it off, instead grabbing her outstretched hand, spinning her around before throwing her at the ground. "Come on, Videl!" Gohan yelled. "Try harder! Everyone but you is dead, and the only one standing between Cell and your family is you!" he yelled at her, before he rained blows on her, not letting up on his assault. He didn't want to be this harsh, but Videl told him that he had to stop holding back on her.

Suddenly, he phased behind Videl, grabbing her arms, and pinning her to him. He leaned in, and whispered in his best imitation of Cell, "Girl, I'm just toying with you, your not even worth my time. I'm going to let you watch as I destroy your family," Gohan felt sick saying that, but he knew that she would do anything for her family.

With her eyes closed, Videl actually believed that Cell was holding her, despite Gohan's terrible imitation. When she heard what 'Cell' said, she snapped. Blowing Gohan back with the force of her ki, she let out a scream as Gohan felt her ki spike tremendously. Her hair, which was already spiked upwards from the regular Super Saiyan form, went more rigid, as it grew a few more inches. Her muscles bulked up slightly from her part, before shrinking right back, adding a couple of inches to her height. Her eyes, instead of becoming a harder teal, like Gohan's, instead went a lighter shade, resembling a turquoise color. Finally, pink sparks started appearing on her form, reflecting the color of her regular aura.

A he looked on in awe, she started to examine herself, noticing the sparks, frowning. Pink. Of course.

She suddenly turned towards Gohan, ready to strike, before blinking at him. She forgot that Cell wasn't really there, and when she saw Gohan instead of Cell, she got thrown for a loop. Noticing his look of awe made her smirk. "Are you done starting at me, or what?" she said, her smirk growing as he blushed a bright red.

"I-it's not l-like that, Videl! I-it's j-just-" he stuttered out, before Videl cut him off. Laughing at his nervousness, she said "I know what you were doing Gohan! I was messing with you!"

"Y-yeah I-I knew that..." he said, trying to hide his blush. The truth was, he was actually admiring her. He didn't know when, but he had developed feelings for Videl offer the last few months. He didn't know what it was, it could've been her stubbornness, which pushed to better herself. Or maybe it was her determination, which is what made her get back up after she failed something, and take it head on once again. Or maybe it was her caring side, as she worried over him, over any little issue, making him wait any injury out. It could've even been her beauty, which to him was the picture of perfection, with her brilliant blue eyes in the forefront on his mind. Well, whatever it was, he had fallen for her, and hard. Especially now, with her jumping around in joy of her reaching the next level of Super Saiyan.

When she noticed him looking at her little show, she froze in midair, and blushed. Now it was his turn to smirk, as he said, "Looks like someone's excited." Damn him and his good looks, and perfect personality. She's been crushing on him for a while now, and it's getting worse.

"Sh-shut up!" she said, as she launched a ball of ki at him. However, due to the power she now had, it launched at him with much more force than she intended to use, carrying him with it, before blowing up in his face. Luckily for the both of them, it was still too weak to do any real damage, but it did make a funny sight.

Emerging from the smoke cloud the blast made while coughing was Gohan, covered in soot. His hair was black once more, but when he opened his eyes, it revealed them to be the hard teal they were, meaning his hair was saturated in soot. Shaking his head, he produced a cloud of soot, making him start coughing just two second of seeing him like that, Videl cracked up.

"Oh hardy har har. Very funny," Gohan said with narrowed eyes, before suddenly launching a ki ball at her, detonating it in her face. When the smoke cleared, it revealed Videl, who was coughing, covered from head to toe in soot. Blinking as Gohan laughed at her, she growled, while saying, "Oh, it's on!" while tackling him to the ground.


*~Four Months Later~*

*~Videl~*

"Videl! Erasa!" yelled Gohan from outside. "Come on outside! I've got to show you two something!" he called, while they went outside. They found him outside, standing a good ways from the living area. Before they began to get closer though, he held out his hand, and said, "Stay back there!" he yelled, from where he stood. They complied, wondering what he was going to do.

Suddenly, the two felt his power spike, as he jumped straight into Super Saiyan Two. He then went into a 'power up' stance, knees bent, hands clenched at his sides as his power spiked upwards once again. He let out a scream as his body started to change. His muscles bulked up tremendously, before slimming back down, still larger than before. His eyes seemed to form pupils in a dark green color, at the same time his forehead grew out, giving him aneanderthal look. As his eyebrows disappeared, his hair began lengthening, reaching all the way to his waist in wild spikes. The bang in front of his face grew, now able to reach his chin, although it was held in the air his aura, which was a blazing inferno. Enormous blue lightning started to crackle around him, striking the ground and leaving scorch marks. The power they felt from him was mind-numbingly high, and the only thing they could do was just stare as he relaxed and turned took at them, a smirk in place.

"I think I reached Super Saiyan Three," he said, knocking them out of their states of mind.

"Well no shit, Sherlock," Videl said, while Erasa just nodded.

Suddenly, Gohan's aura disappeared as he fell forward, his body not yet used to the strain. He fell to the ground at a dead faint, face-planting the ground, while the two girls scrambled towards him.

The two barely managed to pick him up, as his body easily weighed a ton, if not more, but they managed to get him into the living area, and layed him on one of the couches.


*~Later~*

Groaning, Gohan opened his eyes, immediately regretting the action as he was assaulted by blinding white light. Waiting a bit to let his eyes adjust, he slowly opened them back up. When he was used to the light, he found himself on one of the couches, while he heard the sound of flesh hitting flesh from outside.

He sat up, nearly crying out as he received an enormous headache from the action. After a few minutes of gritting his teeth, riding out the headache, he managed to let it subside. He managed to stand up, but immediately sitting down from a wave of nausea. Residing the urge to not puke, he stood up once again.

This time, he was able block off the nausea, making his way to the kitchen. Grabbing an empty glass, he filled it up with water, gulping it down in seconds.

Outside, Videl and Erasa were sparring, with Videl holding back while Erasa the everything she had at her. During he stay in the chamber, Erasa had grown in power. Compared to Gohan and Videl, it was nothing, but now she could easily take on Nappa.

Easily dodging her strikes, Videl suddenly kneed her friend in the gut, before before punching her in the face, sending her sprawling.

Managing to end up in a crouch, Erasa shot towards Videl, with a fist cocked back. Videl, who was preparing her self for a hay-maker, was thrown for a loop when Erasa suddenly sent a kick at her. Just as she was about to push the advantage, she suddenly noticed movement coming from within the living area of the chamber.

While she was distracted with the movement, she was suddenly slugged in the face by Videl, who took advantage of her lapse in to land a clean punch.

Rubbing her aching jaw, Erasa said, "Videl! Why did you do that! I wasn't paying attention!"

"That's the point. You weren't paying attention," Videl said with a smirk. This fell when she saw movement inside coming from the living area. Vanishing from Erasa's sight in a blur of motion, she appeared in the living room, next to the couch where Gohan layed. Finding it empty, she heard water running from the kitchen, and headed there, when she found Gohan next to the sink, his arms supporting him as he stared at it.

Turning to the sudden movement, Gohan have her a groan, and said, "What happened?"

Instead of giving him an answer, she lunged at him, wrapping him up in a hug.

Blinking at her reaction, he managed to calm her down enough to ask, "Videl, how long was I out for?"

Calming down, she said "A-about two weeks."

His eyes widened in surprise. "TWO WEEKS!"


*~Two Months Later~*

*~Gohan~*

"Are you sure you're ready for it Gohan?" Videl asked with worry. "The last time you tried it, you were passed out for two weeks!"

Gohan, who was getting ready to try holding the Super Saiyan Three form for a while, just said, "Don't worry Videl. I'm stronger than the last time. Besides, I need to reach this form to be able to even think about going against Cell," Gohan said, getting ready for the jump.

Jumping straight into Super Saiyan Two, Gohan braced himself as he began to power-up. He let out a scream as his body started to change once more. His muscles bulked up tremendously, before slimming back down, still larger than before. His eyes seemed to form pupils in a dark green color, at the same time his forehead grew out, giving him aneanderthal look. As his eyebrows disappeared, his hair began lengthening, reaching all the way to his waist in wild spikes. The bang in front of his face grew, now able to reach his chin, although it was held in the air his aura, which was a blazing inferno. Enormous blue lightning started to crackle around him, striking the ground and leaving scorch marks.

This time, he was able to hold it, as he began to slowly (by his new standards, of cource) go through his forms, appearing as a blur to Videl, who was barely able to see the blur of motion that were his arms. After a while, Gohan, satisfied with the light training, turned towards Videl, finding her staring at him with a strange look. When she saw him staring at her, she blushed, embatassed at having been caught admiring him. "S-so you can hold it, right?" she said, getting a hold of her embarrasment.

Nodding, he said, "Yeah, I can hold it, but not for long," he said, reverting back to Super Saiyan 2. "It still takes a lot out of me, so I can't use it for to long," he said, getting frustrated. "The only good thing is that we still have a month in here," he said. "Maybe by the time we get out of here, I'll be able to use it, without so much trouble." He said heading inside the living area, intent on finding some food.


*~One Month Later~*

"Wow, I can't believe it's already been a year," Erasa said, as they were getting ready to leave the Room of Spirit and Time. During their time spent in the chamber, the made went leaps and bounds with their training. With Gohan reaching Super Saiyan Three, Videl reaching Super Saiyan Two, and Erasa now able to easily dispatch Nappa with ease.

"I know what you mean." Videl said, packing her clothes jn a bag.

"Time really passes by in here, doesn't it?" Gohan said, picking up his clothes while stuffing them inside a gym bag.

"Well, the reason it passed by so fast was because all we did inside here is train!" Erasa said, annoyed.

"Well, that' what the room is for, right?" Videl retorted.

"...Right." Erasa said, looking sheepish.

"Well, there's no time like the present, let's go," Gohan said, heading towards the heavy oak doors.

And so together, they all exited the chamber...


Sorry for not updating. I'm already working on the next chapter.
