Claimer: I do own Emily and anyone else I decide to place in this chapter.
Emily stared around at the room she was about to spend a whole year in. Mirai Trunks was just gaping at all the familiar places he had spent with his father three years ago. He quickly showed Emily where everything was then they both stepped out into the training grounds, that went on forever. Emily took a deep breath and turned to Mirai Trunks.
"Trunks? By the time we leave here, I want to be at least a super saiyan. I know I'm going to be useless in this fight but I want to be of use." She said, Mirai Trunks threw her a funny look.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"I want to prove that I have what it takes to be out there with everyone, even though I am a girl. I want to turn super. Can you help me?" She replied, he nodded and smirked at her.
"Alright I'll help. It'll be better for both of us anyway seeing as I have surpassed super saiyan. Come on let's start you off, now how did Gohan teach me? Oh yeah, you need to feel anger or pain. Well that's how he taught me anyway." Mirai Trunks started.
"I'd rather stick to anger if you don't mind. I can't control myself when I feel pain, yet I kinda can when I feel anger. I'll think of my biological.... No wait that's pain not anger... tell you what. Annoy me." She said.
"Annoy you?" Mirai Trunks asked.
"Yeah, get me angry. Mock me, do anything. I can't get myself angry I need you to help me." She explained, he sighed and nodded, not sure on how to do this as he barely knew her and remembered Gohan's warnings. Meanwhile outside the hyperbolic time chamber, Gohan was busy getting tips on how to train Gotenks from his dad and Piccolo.
"Well their maximum is three isn't it? And Gotenks gets cocky if you remember so if you can at all, I suggest you use that to your advantage." Goku was saying, Gohan sweatdropped at this.
"And how do I do that? Gotenks doesn't listen to you when he gets cocky." He sighed, Goku grinned.
"Just show him that you mean business and who's boss, that'll stop him getting out of control." Piccolo said.
"I suppose I could try that, if I get to him that is... hey what do you think of her fighting then? She had another fight with Goten whilst you were in with Vegeta." Gohan announced, changing the subject to his sister.
"Emily? Well I want to see how she does in there first. I really don't care how strong she is. I'm puzzled as to why Radditz would have her training at such a young age, I mean we didn't start you off until you where five and a half." Goku replied.
"Maybe he knew he was no match for you?" Gohan suggested.
"Well he certainly didn't show it when he took you." Goku said, Gohan smirked at his father suddenly.
"What do you think about her and Trunks?" He asked, Vegeta's head snapped up at this, muttered something under his breath then returned his gaze to Goten and Trunks who were sparring at super saiyan.
"What about them?" Goku asked puzzled.
"You know them... I know she likes him, and I'm pretty sure he likes her." Gohan hinted, Goku still looked puzzled.
"Gohan is playing match maker." Goten explained, Goku widened his eyes at this latest news.
"What? What makes you think they like each other?" He cried.
"The way they look at each other and the way they talk to each other. It's kinda obvious." Gohan explained. Back in the hyperbolic time chamber, four months had passed and Emily had finally done it. She was twice her speed now, she had finally reached super saiyan and she and Mirai Trunks had got a lot closer than she expected. She and Mirai Trunks were sitting at a kitchen table having a break one day.
"Thanks for helping me Trunks. Wait until my dad finds out I can go super. I bet they've never seen a girl do it before." Emily said.
"Any time. Then again I've never seen a girl saiyan before, a lot has happened here. We can spar properly now that you've up to the speed I want us to be training at." He replied. Slowly, the months began to pass, and they were almost heading towards their final two months. During one of their fierce sparring matches, Emily had decided to test her special technique considering she had gone a lot stronger and assumed she could now control it. Warning Mirai Trunks that this attack was quite dangerous, she powered up and began calling upon her bomb.
"Destructo bomb....." She yelled, watching the white ball of energy surrounded by the yellow aura appear in her hands.
"Wow, I've never seen that move before." Mirai Trunks cried in awe.
"Neither had my dad, I dunno how I learnt it. Might have been Radditz's move. Blast!!!" She screamed, releasing the energy into a target, she had created out of a pillow with three circles done in red. Smirking as the bomb raced towards the pillow and molecular disintegrated instantly and prepared herself for the energy is was about to give off.
"This is one powerful attack." Mirai Trunks commented.
"Yeah, the energy that comes off it is unbelievable. I'd watch out if I were you, it's been known to knock me unconscious." She warned, powering up and lifting her arms to cross her chest. She eyed the energy that was now starting to drift towards her, knocking Mirai Trunks back in the process. She powered up to her maximum and got ready for the energy to hit her. As it came closer, she could feel it begin to hit her body, as she suddenly felt as she was getting stabbed over and over again by knives. Then the actual energy hit her and Emily's eyes rolled into the back of her head as her ki quickly disappeared and the energy engulfed her.
"Emily no!" Mirai Trunks yelled jumping up from his spot, and watched helplessly as she was sent through several pillars until the energy died down, leaving her worn and torn body slumped against a wall. Running over to her, he quickly scanned her for injuries. She had badly cut her head and had bruises appearing on her shoulders and arms. He scooped her up and made his way to the living quarters of the chamber. Fumbling around the first aid quarters, he was annoyed that Goku and Vegeta had used up all the sensu beans and hadn't replaced them. Growling a bit now, he grabbed a first aid box and began bandaging her up. So much for us training in the energy I wanted to be training in. He sighed as he left her to rest. Meanwhile outside the hyperbolic time chamber, Krillen had whipped up a card deck and was playing poker with Yamcha, Tien and Chowsu. Gohan was just staring at them in amazement as he wondered how they could be thinking of playing games when this monster was heading towards earth. He just sighed as he glanced at his father and Vegeta who were sparring then made his way over to Goten and Trunks, who was also sparring with each other. They immediately stopped sparring and stared up at the elder demi saiyan.
"Hey, how about you two fusing, I need to prepare." He stated.
"Prepare for what?" Trunks asked.
"Training Gotenks, if this guy is stronger than Buu, then Gotenks will need all the training he can get." Gohan replied, both boys looked at each other and nodded as they aligned their energies and transformed into Gotenks, who as predicted was still as cocky as he was three years ago.
"You ready to get beaten up?" He laughed getting into a fighting stance, Gohan smirked as he powered up to ssj2.
"Bring it on." He replied, lunging at Gotenks. The two pairs of saiyans continued sparring which lasted quite a few hours and before they knew it, it was time for Emily and Mirai Trunks to come out of the hyperbolic time chamber. Goku made his way up to the entrance to greet them as they emerged, but nothing could prepare him for what met him. He gasped as he recognised Emily in super saiyan form, and also stared as he watched Mirai Trunks emerge in super saiyan level three form.
"Oh wow, you guy's look terrific." He cried.
"I have actually ascended passed the super saiyan form, but I do too much damage staying in it so I'm staying in super for now." Emily stated as she looked at her father with her now emerald green eyes.
"I can't believe it. Wait until the others see. A female super saiyan Emily I'm so proud of you. I only wish I could have been there to see it." He said, Emily just smiled.
"Thanks dad, it wasn't easy. It took Trunks a while to push my anger." She laughed, Mirai Trunks smirked at this comment.
"Yeah, it was tough, but I got to you eventually." He joked, the three of them made their way downstairs and was greeted by more gasps as the others took in their new features.
"Oh my gosh, Emily! You're a super saiyan." Gohan cried.
"And Trunks has gone to level three." Krillen gasped, Goten and Trunks stared at the pair of them in shock.
"Aw, why did you have to go and become stronger? It's gonna be harder for me to wind you up now!" Goten pouted, Emily smiled at him.
"Didn't think you'd stay stronger than me now did you?" She teased.
"Hey, I can go to level three! Besides I'm going in the hyperbolic time chamber now, so I'll go even stronger!" Goten replied smugly, and went over to Trunks and Goten, Goku nodded at him.
"Oh that's right, you three are next aren't you. Good luck." He said, Vegeta didn't say a word, he was busy gaping at Emily and Mirai Trunks, Gohan nodded as he lead the two boys inside the palace.
"Wow, you look so different Emily." Krillen commented.
"Thanks, I'm satisfied that I've reached my goal, thanks to Trunks. I think I have my bomb attack sorted too, I actually stayed conscious when I used it in there." Emily replied.
"Only cause I dragged you out of the way of the blast Emily, don't be telling lies now." Mirai Trunks teased, Emily just stuck her tongue out at him as everyone laughed. Goku pulled her into a hug, much to her surprise.
"I'm so proud of you Emily, you've done great." He said as he let go, she smirked at this.
"Thank you dad. Hey I'm gonna warm up over there. He's skipped time so he'll be here sooner than we thought." She stated.
"How do you know that girl?" Vegeta demanded.
"We felt it whilst we were in there." Mirai Trunks replied, then lead her over to the far end of the lookout where they began sparring again. Goku smiled then turned his attention back to Vegeta.
"They make a cute couple don't they?" He asked.
"We don't have time to discuss this rubbish Kakarot." Vegeta grumbled as he powered up, taking the hint, Goku powered up also then the two saiyans began their duel again. Several more hours had passed when Emily and Mirai Trunks decided to take a break from their fighting.
"Hey, can I ask you something?" Mirai Trunks asked, shooting him a puzzled look, Emily nodded.
"Yeah sure what is it?" She replied.
"Well, in the time chamber, we got to know each other pretty well right?" He started.
"Right." She replied.
"So I was wondering if I uh... you know, after we beat this monster if you would... uh." He faulted, trying to work out how to ask something he'd been wanting to ask her for a long time now.
"Would I what Trunks?" She asked.
"Whether you would uh... go out for dinner with me." He blurted out, she cracked a weak smile.
"You mean like on a date?" She asked.
"Well, if you didn't want to I would completely understand." He stammered, Emily put her hand on his shoulder.
"I'd love to go out for dinner with you Trunks." She replied, he grinned.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah." She replied, and to her surprise, he pulled her into a kiss, but quickly broke away blushing.
"Sorry, didn't mean to." He muttered, Emily glanced over his shoulder at all the Z Fighters including her father and Vegeta staring at them, she had taken it, they had just seen the kiss, then smiled.
"Trunks? You had no idea how long I have wanted you to do that. I must warn you though, I've not had a boyfriend before so I'm kinda new to all this." She laughed, he smiled.
"Me too, don't worry I won't push it." He replied, they battled out again later on then swapped partners with Goku and Vegeta as Emily sparred with her father whilst Mirai Trunks sparred with his past father. Before they knew it, it was time for Gohan to come out with Goten and Trunks.
"So how did you guy's go?" Goku asked, Emily could tell it didn't go as well as Gohan planned as he was wearing one of his annoyed looks on his face, but chose not to say anything.
"We haven't upped any levels if that's what you mean. Gotenks kept making up stupid annoying moves so I spent too much time persuading him to actually fight." He replied, Goten and Trunks glared up at him.
"They weren't stupid." They yelled in unison, Gohan shot them a stern look but didn't say anything, as he was probably angry with the fact that he mainly wasted a year's worth of training time.
"You fused in there? Cool, wish I could have seen it. Fusion sounds really good." Emily said, staring at the boys.
"Except when you can't control them, which is still Gotenks's case." Gohan put in, earning another glare off the boys.
"Hey, we can control him!" Trunks snapped.
"Right enough with the arguing, Emily and Trunks say's he's skipped time, so he's gonna be here sooner than we thought." Goku said, interrupted them, thanking himself it wasn't Emily fighting with Goten.
"Yeah, it looks as though he'll be here tomorrow or the next day." Goten replied, everyone stared at him.
"How is it you know that? Your not supposed to sense things in the hyperbolic time chamber." Goku asked, Goten shrugged his shoulders.
"Could be the whole time thing. He's messing with time too remember, so to us we can't feel anything but in there we can sense every move he makes." Emily suggested, Mirai Trunks nodded.
"You know, you could be right there, when I told my mom all about Cell and the hyperbolic time chamber she started going on about theories all about time differences and all that. And she did in fact mention something like that." He said, Trunks stared up at his future self.
"Yep, that sounds like mom. And you understood what she said?" He asked smirking, Mirai Trunks smiled down at him.
"My timeline is a lot different to yours, so I have no choice but listen. It spared your dad's life didn't it?" He replied, Emily couldn't help but smile a little bit, Trunks was quite ignorant when it came to Bulma's inventions and science modes which she found quite interesting, and she felt he was asking for it when he joked about her sometimes.
"Alright, if he's going to be here in the next few days, then I suggest we spend what time we have left with our families and loved ones. This guy's stronger than Buu, and I don't know his strategies." Goku announced. Agreeing to meet back in two days, everyone took off in different directions.
