Chapter 12:Lessons On Energy
Ray's Point of View
The crowd of people started to ask me questions,pulling on my arm or shirt to get my attention.
"Why do you own the Masamune?"one person asked.
"Can I touch the blade?"another person questioned.
'Isn't that a stupid question....,'I thought,"I wish you idiots would give me some breathing space!"
'Tell them:Stupid fools,I don't have time for you!Clear a path!'Trunks thought.
'If you say so,'I thought back.
"Stupid fools,I don't have time for you!Clear a path!"I demanded.
All of the people quickly ran to the other side of the room.
'Thanks,'I thought.
'Don't worry about it.I went through the same thing in my dimension.Only with reporters,'Trunks thought.
We walked out of the building to avoid any more questions.
"So..What now?We did what we came 'ere to do,right?"Cirrus asked.
"Yeah but...There's still a lot I want to know,"I replied.
"Our father..."Zapland trailed off.
I clenched my free fist,"I want to know...Why he did what he did."
"Do you wish to move onward with your life,willing to forget what happened?Or do you want to investigate the past and discover why things are the way they are?"Nono questioned.
"I have no choice but to move on,but..Nono,you're wrong.Moving forward doesn't mean forgetting about the past,but facing it,"I answered.
"You are right.There is only one path to choose currently,"he said.
"I want to know why he would do what he did to our peaceful town.So,I'm coming too,"Sarah said.
"It's going to be dangerous.You sure a girl like you can handle it?"I asked.
She smirked,"After hearing that,I guess I don't have a choice,do I?"
I smirked back,"..That's good to hear."
"Even though I don't know the whole story,I,too,wish to know why someone would burn down a town,"Trunks stated.
"Okay.What about the rest of you?"I asked.
"Hmph.I have no choice but to join you,"Zapland said.
"It has been awhile since I've seen the world.I shall accompany you,"Nono said.
"Heh..This is gonna' turn into some kinda' long adventure,ain't it?I guess I ain't got a choice either,"Cirrus stated.
"I guess that means I'll have to come along.Someone has to keep an eye on Cirrus,"Jessie laughed.
Cirrus glared at her.
"So,you people are going on a long trip,correct?"
I turned around to see a short old man looking at us.
"What's it to you?"I asked.
"I'm sure a person like you knows life is like a road with many potholes.And I'm sure you know what you're planning is going to be a long and hard journey,"the old man said.
"Just what are you getting at?"I questioned.
"I believe what I can teach you will help on your path.I own a dojo where people learn to harness the power within themselves.From what I can tell,you people have amazing potential.If you wish to learn how to harness your power,then follow me,"the old man replied and started to walk off.
I looked towards the others,"What do you think?Should we acknowledge the senile fool?"
"It wouldn't hurt,"Sarah said.
"I guess you're right.Let's go,"I said and followed the old man.
-----
"So,what do we do?"I asked.
"First,please have a seat on the floor,"the old man said.
"Gee,first you drag us in here then you say we have to sit on the floor.You really are senile,"I muttered before sitting down.
"You there,"the old man pointed to Trunks,"Show them the power you have."
'WHAT!?'Trunks thought.
"I can tell you've tried to hide it for some time,but you should have known you would have to show them sooner or later.Show them that you can fly and control your energy,"the old man said.
'Hey,at least he doesn't know you can make a breeze,make your hair stand up,and make it golden all at the same time,'I thought.
'You have a point,'Trunks thought and stood up.
He floated a few feet in the air,causing the others to gasp,except Sarah because she had seen him fly when we had escaped from Sygar.Then he held out his hand created a ball of energy.
"Tell me,how long have you been able to do this?"the old man asked.
Trunks made the energy disappear,"Practically since I was born."
"Who taught you?"
"An old friend of mine by the name of Gohan Son."
"I've never heard of him...Where does he teach?"
"A place...very far from here."
"I would like to meet him sometime.Perhaps you could bring him here one day?"
"...He's dead now..."
"Oh..I'm sorry to hear that.You may sit back down."
Trunks lowered to the ground and did as he was told.All of the others had questions forming in their minds,I could tell.
"So,what are you going to teach us first?"I asked.
"Well first,you must learn to manipulate your energy.It is something that everybody has in their body,it's just hidden,"the old man replied.
And that's when our lessons started.The old man never told us his name,only saying that a name has no true meaning.Instead,we continued to call him 'old man',which was his idea.
