Trunks emerged from the HBTC he mastered instant transmission on his own thank goodness.
Trunks traveled towards the end of the lookout, and looked down, everything seems peaceful. First he wanted to tell the survivors that they cane come out of hiding because the monster Cell had been defeated. But he felt it was the best to have the dragon erase everyone's memory.
But before he heads to Namek he wants to meet his friends.
Trunks placed fingers on his forehead and disappeared,when he reached the check in station he felt Erasa's ki and seconds later he was a few feet away from her.
She was sitting on a bench and looked behind her,
Trunks smiled brightly at her and blinked a lot to control the pending tears from surfacing.
Erasa rises from her seat taking steps closer to identify the individual.
"Trunks is it really you?" Erasa asked, he didn't have a halo hanging above his head but how did he get to the afterlife?
She covered her mouth in disbelief, he has grown so much and when Trunks walked over to her she ran to him
"Trunks-kun!" Erasa beamed in tears she stretched out her arms holding on to him.
She cried into his shoulder, she misses Gohan and kept thinking about what Trunks is doing in the past and now he's here, in arms reach.
It was blissful for Trunks too, have her leap into his arms finally reunited. He tried not to crush her as it was almost impossible to let go, he mourned her but now it's over.
Trunks looked down when Erasa took comfort in his beating heart, he's indeed alive and cradled him around the waist.
Trunks rubbed her scalp rested his cheek against it, he didn't want to leave her. but they will be together as a team very soon.
"How did you get here?" Erasa asked.
"Instant transmission," I technique I learned in the past " Trunks said..
"I've defeated that horrid android Cell, so that means we can all go home soon" Trunks mentioned brightening up and Erasa did the same.
Her iris sparked with relief,
"Truly?" Erasa's voice trembled. "That creature is gone?"
"Yes, I promise" Trunks said holding both hands.
"Then Let's fell Gohan the good news, He's training in the kais world to go beyond the Supersaiyan level if he ever gets a chance to head back to Earth" Erasa said.
Trunks smiled. "Heh I knew it, Onii-chan just won't accept defeat no matter what" Trunks said looking up in the sky, he was tempted to teleport there but there is still things left to do.
"I can't stay, I need to find the location of Planet Namek to wish you and Gohan back to life" Trunks said.
"No! please don't!" Erasa became distraught,
"Wait,hear me out" Trunks said trying to comfort her.
"It won't be very long with the dragon Radar"
"In only a handful of weeks it's done" Trunks explained.
"But I don't want to part ways again this soon" Erasa mentioned.
"When this is over well never have to be apart, we can all go home" Trunks mentioned.
"Gohan hasn't come back yet, he would have loved to see you" Erasa said,
"I know" Trunks said cupping her cheek.
"But if he was here he wouldn't want me to waste more time waiting for him."
"But You'll be all alone, " Erasa mentioned,
"Planet Namek is owned by peaceful warriors, so I'll be in good hands" Trunks mentioned.
"Onee-san, try not to worry I'll come back for you in one piece " Trunks said and placed his fingers to his forehead.
"Send Gohan my regards," Trunks said his temporarily goodbye.
Erasa nodded, she was so proud of him. Her little brother.
"Oh Trunks wait!" Erasa called out but Trunks was already gone.
She wanted to ask where Goku was, she didn't want to think of the worst, maybe Goku is already at Namek collecting the dragonballs there and Trunks just arrived here to tell the good new.
At least she hopes, she felt troubled hoping that her gut feeling is wrong. Goku cant be gone.
She watched the spot where she saw Trunks fade, sadness overtook her. Not knowing for sure if she wants to come back to Earth. Part of her wants to remain in the afterlife with Trunks and Gohan,
together where they'll never be harmed again nor grow old.

Erasa was sitting at the large grass field of otherworld, it was so strange that it has its own sun and nighttime,
Gohan approached her wearing a Kai uniform she rose from her position and walked up to him.
"Gohan" she said and quicken her pace to come to his side, Gohan lifted her up from the ground when she hugged him,
"Oh dearest" Erasa said running her hand through his spikes in acknowledgement.
Gohan rubbed her scalp in response.
It's been weeks since Gohan's last visit, and didn't want him to leave anymore.
"Please tell me you're done, I've missed you so much" Erasa said losing her patience.
"Yes," Gohan smiled. "It's done.. It was hard being apart from you.. but I'm here to stay"
"Erasa.. you've been amazing and you're one of the best friends I have" Gohan said.
"Well I thought you held me in a much higher regard" Erasa scoffed.
"But.. what did I do?" Gohan said surprised with her reaction.
"We're family aren't we?" Erasa said.
Gohan calmed down and gentleness returned in his iris.
"You're more than that" Gohan mused, If only he had the courage to speak up.
Gohan held on to both of her hands and leaned forward, Erasa flinched when a gentle touch kissed her forehead.
Erasa smiled tip toeing, giving a heartfelt smooch against the cheek in return.
"Well let's just hope you and I can enjoy our time together" Erasa said knowing that it won't be the last time Gohan has to leave for training.
"Besides What are you wearing?" Erasa said touching the fabric of his sleeves.
"A Kai uniform"..
"I'm officially an apprentice" Gohan smiled a little.
"So did the power ritual helped?" Erasa asked.
"Yes it did, I'm wielding a power beyond the Supersaiyan state" Gohan explained.
"All I need to do now is wait until I'm send back" Gohan said,
"Gohan, Cell has finally been defeated" Erasa explained.
Gohan eyes grew larger in size when she mentioned that.
"Did the Supreme kais did that?" Gohan wondered.
"No, It was Trunks" Erasa said and Gohan felt so much peace, The Earth no longer has to suffer.
"He came all the way here to tell the good news" Erasa added.
"He did huh?.. I knew he would succeed" Gohan said relieved.
"Where is he now?" Gohan held her shoulders.
"To planet Namek" Erasa's eyes shimmered.
"He saved the Earth" Erasa said, wishing she could see Trunks in action getting of that rotten android.
"Was Dad with him?" Gohan asked.
"No," he came alone" Erasa mentioned.
Gohan became distraught moving away from her in a short distance, trying to remain collected.
If his father is not with Trunks then it could mean one thing..
Gohan truly thought for the worst, he hoped his gut feeling is wrong.
"Shall I leave you be?" Erasa carefully asked.
"No, I.. I fear that father.." Gohan said and started to cry.
Erasa felt tears in her eyes sting too, and leaped forward holding him tight.
