Well another day another chapter hay :oP Just a note this chapter covers Videl, Sharpner, Lime's and Eresa's time during Gohan's absence for the week where he stays on the look out after his fight with Trunks.

Chapter 29: A week without Gohan

Two days after Gohan had his fight with Trunks:

The left hook was easily blocked by a right elbow a sharp kicked followed the block connecting with the blonde's chin. Stepping back Sharpener smiled as he wiped the bead of blood from his lip with his right arm.

"Something's pissed you off Videl" Sharpener said with a chuckle before straightening up into his boxer's stance.

Videl ignored Sharpener's comment instead deciding to give the tall blond a glare it was true Videl was incredible pissed off having found out that Gohan had to be sent home for a while due to personal reason's the Satan girl quickly realised that her training with the teen would be put on hold till he came back.

"Are you going to just keep staring at me or are you going to fight" Sharpeners taught quickly grabbed Videls attention. The crime fighter immediately rushed forward launching a right jab that was quickly pushed aside by Sharpener's left.

Instinctively Sharpener sent his right fist towards Videl's stomach anticipating the move chopped down at the right handed fist pushing the punch harmlessly out of the way. Sharpener took a step back before coming forward again with a left upper cut. Caught off guard Videl bent backwards placing her hands on the ground to flip back onto her feet however before she could do this Sharpener reacted dropping down the long haired blond quickly swiped Videl's arms from under her body causing her to crush into the ground.

Busied but not beaten Videl quickly got back onto her feet and faced the tall blound that was smiling back at her.

"You never used your feet before in are fight's Sharpener" Videl looked at her friend suspiciously

"Maybe I decided to change my technique a little as your dad always say's you got to use everything you can to win" Shapener said with a smile.

The two continued with their sparing session as Lime and Eresa watched on both girls sat down with a little picnic between the two of them.

"It's good to see Sharpener out and about again after spending all night in the infirmary" Lime said with a sigh as she looked on at the fight. "Though I wish he wouldn't start fighting straight away he was really badly hurt I can't believe he's even moving."

"Boy's will be boy's as they say" Eresa said with a chuckle "Hay at least you know where your boyfriend is I can't remember the last time I saw Gohan. "

"Yeah Gohan dose have a trait of disappearing" Lime said reminiscing " I guess he gets it a lot from his dad I suppose"

"Did you know Gohan's dad well?" Eresa remembering that Gohan's father was killed by Cell.

"Not really I only meet him once before" Lime said with a sigh "but from what Gohan told me he was a great guy though he was never really their when Gohan was growing up he had to keep going away to fight"

"Yeah guess it must have been tough" Eresa sighed feeling quite sorry for her boyfriend at that moment "When do you think he will be back?"

"I don't know" Lime replied sadly

"Your technique is sloppy" The voice caused all four friend's to stop what they were doing and look at the new arrival. His purple hair blew with the wind as (F)Trunks step forward in his usual wife beater and tight demine jeans

"What do you mean are techniques are sloppy I can't find a single opening in Videl guard at all" Sharpener replied without looking at Trunk's keeping both eyes on the girl in front of him.

"That's because you're not looking properly " Trunks said calmly as he walked into the middle of both Videl and Sharpener.

"God I wouldn't do that if I was him Videl and Sharpener look like really good fighters" Eresa said with awe.

"Naa Trunk's is a powerful fighter just look at those muscles" Lime said with a smile as she watched the exchange.

"Listen you stop being a jerk and back off this is mine and Sharpener's spar I don't care if you come from the future or not that doesn't give you right to be rude to people" Videl shouted angrily.

"Like you are" Trunks replied knowingly noting Videl surprised expression. " Don't act so surprised I heard all about how you were treating Gohan from my mum"

Videl's surprise turned to angrier all self-doubt quickly rushing away.

"And it's rude to talk about people behind their back now if you would kindly go away me and Sharpener have got a spar to finish"

"Make me" Trunk's replied cockily before dropping into a fighting stance.

"Fine" Videl called back before rushing forward at Trunk's who easily dodge her right fist.

Videl continued to throw punch after punch at Trunks only for the blue haired warrior to dodge each one with ease.

"Why can't I hit you" The girl cried out in frustration sending a right leg to kick (f) Trunks in the rib's however before the blow could land Trunks swept the foot Videl was balancing on from under her.

"You're a pretty good fighter you've got speed and power if you actually learned to control you Ki you could become quite formidable it's a pity though I don't think you will ever learn" Trunks said generally sadly before turning away to walk off.

"Wait" Videl called out after Trunks her hand's clenched into fists. "Before this trip started I believed myself to be one of the best fighters around second only to my father, but now I see that there are so many fighters out there, you, Gohan, Vegeta just to name a few. I'm not even sure how my father matches all of you in power anymore. But what I do know is if there are strong people like you around fighting for good then there must be stronger people out their fighting for their own evil intentions like Tao and his brother and if I'm going to face them I need to get stronger" Videl gave Trunks a determined glare.

The boy from the future smiled back at the crime fighter before continuing.

"I see that Gohan has trained you better than I expected but then I shouldn't be surprised he did teach me after all" Trunk's let out a small chuckle "You might be able to be taught to control your Ki yet"

"Do you really think me being able to control this Ki thingy will make me stronger" Videl ask eagerly, deep down all the Satan girl wanted was to be able to get stronger in order to help more people out just like her father did when he defeated Cell.

"First off Ki is not just a thingy it is energy that you and I or anything else in the world has it flows though you and is constantly their however not a lot of people have the ability to access this power and even fewer have the ability to control it to any use. But it's their you proberly have experienced the presence of Ki many times before but you probably put it down to it being your second wind. And to answer your next question yes controlling your Ki is going to make the two of you much stronger" Trunks finished.

"The two of us" Videl answered back in confusion

"Yes my mum told me about Gohan training you so I decided to check out your strength for myself and from what I've seen you and this guy other here" Trunk's indicated Sharpener "have a lot of potential who knows you might even be able to match up to Tien and Krillien's level"

"So what's your point? " Sharpener asked bluntly wanting to find out why Trunks was telling them all this.

"The point is Gohan's not going to be hear for a while and I've taken it upon myself to take over training Videl while he's away however I've decided that I now want to train you as well since you could never have enough allies" Trunks said calmly.

"Wait so you are just going to train us to control this Ki that is within us which will supposedly make us incredible stronger and want nothing in return" Sharpener asked suspiciously.

"Nope I do want something in return" Trunks began pacing up and down "I want you to use the power I am going to teach you to help others and for when the time come's protect the planet from threats that could destroy it in the instant"

"Threats that can destroy the world instantly you mean like Cell?" Videl asked eagerly

Trunks took a second to contemplate his answer for a moment he wanted to be honest but did not to give to much away about Gohan and himself.

"Yes like Cell you see from where I was from we didn't have Cell we had two androids that attacked when I was just three years old they killed everyone that stood up to them slathering them like dogs" Trunks hands began to curl into fists as a white hot aura began to rush around him. "They destroyed every city killing billions of lives growing up was a constant fight for survival me and Gohan did everything we could to help but it was never enough" Trunks look down sadly tears beginning to form in his eyes. "That is why I want to train you to become stronger I do not want this time to face the same destruction that I saw and if the Z fighters ever fell I want at least some people around to at least be able to escape and maybe have the ability to save others"

The mood around the group quickly became Solome as all eyes fell on Trunks, Sharpener quickly felt slightly guilty at questioning his intentions it was Videl whoever mind keen as ever that picked out that Trunks was not being completely truthful about his story.

"So what happened to the androids in this timeline?" Videl asked carefully trying not to upset Trunks and press him too far.

"Very observant of you Videl" Trunks said with a smile. "Let me tell you guys the full story that way things might be more clearer"

Trunks went on to explain his part to play in the events leading up to the Cell games while leaving out most of the parts involving Gohan. As the purple haired teen finished something in Videls mind clicked as she began to process the information she had been told. As the others looked on in awe.

"So you fought the androids with Gohan in your timeline but since you couldn't win your mum decided to create a time machine so you could go back in time and give the leader of the Z warriors heart medicine to cure him so he would be around for the battle with the androids and so the Z warriors would also have time to train" Videl said with a triumphant smile on her face.

"Basically yeah" Trunks said slightly worried at Videls smile.

"But that's not it is it I was thinking it was odd that you didn't tell us the Z warriors names since you must have known them at least by their names if not more closely if you were giving them medicine I know for a fact I wouldn't trust someone that came to me claiming to be from the future and take medicine from them."

"What are you getting at Videl" Eresa asked cautiously. Both Lime and Trunks quickly exchanged nervous looks between each other.

"Don't you remember from history Eresa? When the two aliens attacked earth who was the elite team dispatched to stop to fight them" Videl said with a smile etched across her face.

"The Z fighters" Sharpener yelled out in amazement cursing himself inwardly for not remembering that fact.

"And we know who were in the Z fighters don't we" Videl began looking at Trunks who gave a gulp. "And thinking about it the Z fighters that went to fight the aliens look exactly the same as the mystery fighters that turned up at the Cell games don't you think Trunks?" the stare Videl gave the Demi-Sayian was so intense that the purple haired had to take a step back. "I would say if you died you hair blond you would be an almost identical match to one of the fighters"

Lime let out a small gasp that didn't go unnoticed by Videl a small smile crept upon the crime fighters lips the gasp was confirmation enough the crime fighter was defiantly onto something.

"Another thing struck me if I remember correctly Son Goku, Gohan's father was in the Z fighters when they thought the aliens but Gohan told me his father died from a fatal heart virus that couldn't be treated however you just told me that you came back with medicine to cure the virus and their being rumours for year that it was Goku and not the fat sword wilding man who was the really leader of the Z fighters which leads me to conclude"

"Just get on with it" Trunks snapped angrily, annoyed with himself for allowing Videl to work out secrets Gohan had tried so long to hide.

"Goku was at the Cell games he was one of the fighters with golden hair he was the man after my dad that fought against Cell before the delivery boy went on to fight, now there was a boy who thought the aliens couldn't be more than four years old and would be around the same age as the delivery boy when he fought Cell who would be our age now." Videls mind was ablaze completely ecstatic about figuring out a mystery even the greatest of detectives could not figure out. " It all make sense now his powers the ability to fly the golden fighter who appeared in the city just as he started school being the great Sayiaman it all fits the delivery boy it's …Gohan"

Sharpener and Eresa both gave a cry of shook though one more fake than the other. Lime and Trunks both remained silent their eyes meeting.

"Though there is one thing I haven't worked out and I was hoping you would tell me Trunks" Videl's smile was the completely opposite to Trunks scowl. "Where is Gohan's father?"

Trunks stared at Videls smug face angier brewing within him he was a fool for telling the arrogant girl all his secrets and allowing her to discover Gohan's and for thinking she would ever have the patients to control her own Ki. "What a waste of potential must be her father's teaching's" Trunks thought to himself before answering.

"Gohan's father is dead he died sacrificing himself so his son could have a somewhat normal life, Gohan has had to face more suffering than you can possible imagine and not only that the insult to martial arts that you call a father not only took his credit but also rubbished accent techniques used by martial artist for thousands of years. You and your family are a disgrace to martial arts I can't believe I ever thought I could train you"

With that Trunk's stormed off leaving a bewildered Videl in his wake who began to feel incredible guilty.
