"Weren't you going back to the future?"
Trunks nodded.
"I did go back, but something happened, so I came here again. Miss Bulma, you can call me... Little Trunks!"
"Little Trunks?"
"Mm-hmm!"
Trunks nodded.
"Miss Bulma, I have some other things to take care of, so I'll be going now!"
After saying that, Trunks left immediately.
At Mount Paozu.
Son Gohan had come to a grassy field to train when a figure suddenly descended from the sky.
It was Trunks.
Trunks quickly landed on the ground in front of Son Gohan.
"Trunks!"
Trunks was taken aback.
Then he quickly remembered that he had told Son Goku the truth about himself.
Thinking of this, Trunks nodded.
"Where's Mr. Son Goku?"
"Dad's training with King Kai right now!"
"With King Kai again?"
"Mm-hmm!"
Son Gohan nodded.
"Trunks, didn't you go back? Why are you here again?"
"Something happened, so I came back!"
"I see. Do you want me to call Dad over?"
"I don't think we need to for now!"
"We don't?"
"That's right. The Time Machine has run out of energy, so I might have to stay here for a while!"
"I see!"
"Mm-hmm!"
Trunks nodded.
"How long will you be staying?"
"I don't know. I'll go back once I've gathered enough energy for the Time Machine!"
"Trunks, can you tell me what happened in the future?"
"Sure!"
Trunks nodded and told Son Gohan what had happened in the Future Timeline.
"Trunks, have you ever thought about defeating those two Androids yourself?"
"By myself?"
"That's right!"
"I have, but the two of them are so powerful that I'm no match for them!"
"Then you can train. My dad used to be no match for Raditz, either!"
Trunks nodded.
"To be honest, I've been thinking about that, too! By the way, Gohan, do you usually train here?"
"No. I usually train in the Gravity Chamber!"
"The Gravity Chamber?"
Trunks rubbed his chin with his right hand.
"Trunks, how about we train together from now on?"
"Together?"
At those words, Trunks immediately thought of Son Gohan in the Future Timeline.
"Sure!"
After thinking it over, Trunks nodded in agreement.
The next day.
Son Goku and the others learned that Trunks was staying in their timeline to train.
At Mount Paozu.
Son Gohan and Trunks were training in the Gravity Chamber under three hundred times normal gravity.
Since Son Gohan wouldn't let Trunks transform into a Super Saiyan, Trunks could barely stand, let alone train.
Son Gohan chuckled and effortlessly began doing one-finger push-ups.
"Damn it!"
With a grit of his teeth, Trunks struggled to do push-ups with both hands.
Son Gohan smiled.
"Trunks, you'll never defeat those two Androids like this!"
"I... I know!"
As he spoke, Trunks sped up his push-ups.
The morning passed quickly, and before long, it was noon.
Trunks had already been worn out by the morning's training. His stomach kept rumbling.
"Why don't you come to my house for lunch, Trunks?"
Trunks was about to refuse, but his stomach betrayed him with another rumble, so he had to agree.
That afternoon.
After waking from his nap, Trunks followed Son Gohan to a grassy field on Mount Paozu.
"Gohan, aren't we going to train in the Gravity Chamber this afternoon?"
Son Gohan nodded.
"This afternoon, I'm going to teach you Instant Transmission!"
"Instant Transmission? Is that the technique Mr. Son Goku used to go to King Kai's place?"
"Mm-hmm!"
Son Gohan nodded.
"Once you've learned it, you can use it to escape if you ever run into an enemy you can't beat!"
"I... I see!"
It sounded pretty useful, but somehow it felt a little odd.
Son Gohan nodded.
Then Son Gohan began teaching Trunks how to learn Instant Transmission.
Under Son Gohan's guidance, Trunks learned to control his ki.
The most important thing when learning Instant Transmission was controlling your ki.
After teaching him Instant Transmission, Son Gohan also taught Trunks Son Goku's Kaio-ken.
Originally, he had planned to teach Trunks the twenty-times Invulnerable Kaioken, but since it was countless times harder to learn than the regular Kaio-ken, he changed his mind and taught him the regular Kaio-ken instead.
After that, Trunks spent every day training and learning Instant Transmission and Kaio-ken.
Time flew by, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.
After a year of training under Son Gohan, Trunks had learned Instant Transmission and Kaio-ken.
Having spent so long in the Main Timeline, Trunks was very worried about his mother in the future.
But the Time Machine still hadn't gathered enough energy. No matter how worried he was, he could only stay there.
When Son Gohan learned that Trunks was worried about Bulma in the Future Timeline, he immediately tried to reassure him.
"Don't worry, Trunks. Aunt Bulma will definitely be safe!"
Trunks nodded.
Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang in Son Gohan's ears.
"Ding! Congratulations, Master! Your battle power has reached ten billion! Your rewards are Basic Ultra Instinct, the Universe Seed, the Angel Staff (containing a Travel Cube), the Invisibility Technique, and 999 Senzu Beans!"
As soon as the voice faded, memories of Ultra Ego and the Invisibility Technique immediately appeared in Son Gohan's mind.
"Rewards granted. Please keep training hard, Master!"
"What's wrong, Gohan?"
Trunks asked when he saw Son Gohan suddenly staring blankly.
"Nothing!"
"Then, Gohan, let's keep training!"
"Mm-hmm!"
Son Gohan nodded.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
At Son Goku's house in West City.
Son Gohan was using his computer to check whether Dr. Gero had finished making Android 17 and Android 18.
Through the computer, Son Gohan discovered that Android 17 and Android 18 were almost finished.
"Are they almost done?"
Son Gohan murmured to himself. He suddenly remembered that Dr. Gero had once said Android 17 and Android 18 had actually already awakened. But since the two of them were disobedient, he had sent them back for modifications.
A little while later, Son Gohan saw that work had just begun on Android 19. He then altered the instructions in Dr. Gero's supercomputer, changing Android 19's original order to obey Dr. Gero and kill Son Goku to an order to obey Son Gohan and kill Dr. Gero.
Dr. Gero probably never would have imagined that all the Androids he created would end up trying to kill him.
