Gohan’s Lab

  Gohan was writing down questions he had on his mind, like why some energy bsts were different colors, if it was possible to change the color of certain ki bsts, if it was possible to combine two different attacks together, and anything else that came to mind. While waiting for Bulma to message him to let him know when they were close to his b, once he received the message, he walked to the control console to disable the security system opening the doors to let them in. After they passed through the security doors, he closed them, rode the elevator down to greet them, waited until he saw their submarine break the surface, make its way to the dock, and then helped them climb out.

  “Hey, Vanadis how have you been?” Gohan asked, holding his hand out to help her climb out.

  “I’ve been well Gohan, how about you?” Vanadis answered taking his hand with a smile, he noticed that her hand felt very nice and soft, and that if felt pleasant in his hand. She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear once she was standing firmly on the dock.

  “That’s good to hear, I’m doing well too.” Gohan answered smiling back.

  “Ahem…” The sound made them turn around to see Bulma looking at them with a big smile on her face, “Oh, sorry I had something in my throat, care to help me out as well Gohan?” she asked, holding her hand out.

  “Oh, right sorry.” Gohan said, reaching his hand out, stopping when he felt something in his hand.

  “It might work better if you let go of Vanadis’s hand first.” Bulma pointed, smiling wider.

  “Wha? -” Gohan asked, making them both look down and see that they were still holding hands, they both quickly let go going red in the face.

  “Oh… I-I’m so sorry I didn’t realize.” Gohan stammered, trying to apologize.

  “N-no… it’s fine, I should have said something.” Vanadis said looking down.

  “N-no I should have let-” Gohan started saying.

  “Hey, guys!” Bulma interrupted them again, saving them from any further embarrassment.

  “S-sorry, Bulma.” Gohan said holding his hand out to help her.

  “I-I’ll go wait by the elevator.” Vanadis said, still blushing as she quickly walked away towards the elevator.

  “Hmm… did she do something different she looks good, I mean she’s always looked good but today it feels like there’s something more…” Gohan thought staring at her retreating back, wondering how she would look without her b coat. “Wait! Where did these thoughts come from!” Gohan thought, closing his eyes, and shaking his head trying to clear his mind. When he opened them, he saw Vanadis had entered the elevator and was facing them waiting, their eyes meeting for a second before she quickly looked away.

  “Oh! you stopped looking just in time.” Bulma said from behind him.

  Gohan’s eyes went wide and his face red realizing that he forgot Bulma was behind him, he knew it was no use coming up with an excuse, since he was caught red handed, “I-I’m sorry Bulma, please don’t tell her… I don’t know what came over me.” Gohan mumbled staring at the ground in embarrassment.

  “It’s fine Gohan, I won’t tell her, I know that you’re at the age where you start noticing the opposite sex…” Bulma said patting his shoulder, “and just between you and me… I don’t think she would mind you staring.” Bulma whispered as she passed him heading towards the elevator.

  “I… what!?” Gohan’s brain stopped working for a second processing what he heard.

  “Come on Gohan, this thing won’t install itself.” Bulma said with another grin.

  “R-right.” Gohan called out, taking a few deep breaths to calm himself before following her, “So will you guys finally tell me what this project you guys have been working on is?”

  “Yeah, we will because we’re going to use one of those empty spaces we left back when we first built this pce.” Bulma answered nodding, as the elevator moved up.

  “O-oh ok no problem but that still doesn't answer my question.” Gohan stated, looking at Bulma since he didn’t know how to look Vanadis in the eyes without thinking about what Bulma said to him.

  “It’s a new training room, that Vanadis came up with, with you in mind, you will love it trust me.” Bulma said smiling, walking out of the elevator. “I’m going to need an empty table ok.” Bulma said looking at him.

  “Y-yeah sure, there should be one free.” Gohan nodded, “You wanted to build me a new training room?” Gohan asked, forgetting his earlier embarrassment, trying to meet Vanadis’s gaze, but she just nodded refusing to look at him for some reason. “Can I ask why?”

  “I-wanted to.” Vanadis mumbled, still avoiding his eyes.

  Gohan wanted to press her on why she felt the need to build him a new training room when Bulma shouted at him, “Oi, Gohan, she can expin ter now come over here and take a look at what we’re going to be building.” she was spreading some blueprints on an empty table.

  “Ok...” Gohan responded, “…c-can we talk ter?” Gohan asked apprehensively looking at Vanadis who nodded slowly still looking at the ground.

  “Thanks.” Gohan replied with a smile before making his way towards Bulma, “Vanadis seems different I’ve never seen her this nervous before, she has always been so confident. There’s also the whole thing with me staring at her, I’ve never done that before… I wonder if there’s something wrong.” Gohan thought to himself, before shaking his head to clear his mind again. Before he started going over the blueprints, and notes that Bulma had pced on the table.

  Gohan didn’t know what to expect when Bulma told him that they were building him something, but he knew that it would be something great. However, the more he looked over the blueprints and notes, the more he realized how mistaken he was, this new training room would be nothing short of extraordinary. From what he could understand it was some sort of training room that would allow him to fight solid holographic enemies, the enemies should even be able to use Ki based attacks and could change the environment to something else.

  “So, what do you think?” Bulma asked with a big grin on her face.

  “Y-you came up with this?” Gohan asked, turning to Vanadis amazed by what he was seeing, Vanadis nodded slowly looking up to meet his gaze.

  “Y-yeah, I know that we still have to properly test everything and there’s a chance that it might not work at first, but I thought that it would be something you would like very much but if you don’t like it, I can come up-” Vanadis started saying.

  “No!” Gohan interrupted, “Sorry…” he quickly apologized seeing her looking disappointed, thinking that he didn’t like it, “Its… just that …looking at this…” Gohan said gesturing at the pns, “… I don’t think I could find the right words to describe how incredible this is.”

  “R-really, you like it?” Vanadis asked, looking up at him.

  “Like it? No, I love it.” Gohan answered smiling widely at her, making her return the smile, seeing her smile made his stomach feel funny for some reason but before he could try and understand it Bulma cut in.

  “I told you he would love it.” Bulma said smiling at Vanadis who nodded back.

  “So, when do we start building this room?” Gohan asked eagerly to get started. “Based on these blueprints just building the room should take us a while.”

  “Oh! don’t worry about that, we got that covered.” Bulma said pulling out two capsules and tossing one, once the smoke cleared Gohan saw hundreds of robots lined up in rows. “These are construction robots we’ve built, and they will oversee the building of the room.

  “Oh! that’s great but if they are doing the building then what will I do?” Gohan asked.

  “Nothing, we just needed you to give us access to your b, so we can start building this.” Bulma said causally, almost making him fall.

  “What!? Really?” Gohan asked.

  “No, I’m just yanking your chain, Gohan.” Bulma ughed, “we’ll still need your help with some things, and that’s not counting you actually testing the room out once we get it up and running.”

  “Ok, that sounds better.” Gohan said shaking his head at Bulma’s antics. “what’s in the other capsule?”

  “Oh, this is all the required materials needed to build the room.” Bulma said tossing the other capsule.

  “Wow!” Gohan muttered, seeing that the other side of the b filled with tons of different materials.

  “Yeah, gathering all the supplies needed is what took the most time, some of these things we’re hard to find, it didn’t help that we couldn’t ask you for help.” Bulma said shaking her head, “But it’s going to be worth it, now let’s put these robots to work.” Bulma said enthusiastically pulling out a remote from her b coat pocket, enter some commands that made the robots get started on building the room.

  “That’s really useful.” Gohan said watching the robots get started.

  “Yeah, they should help speed things along.” Bulma nodded looking at Vanadis, “Vanadis you’re in charge I need to speak with Gohan for a sec.” Vanadis nodded in reply, taking the remote and walking away to give them some space.

  “What’s up Bulma?” Gohan asked, a little concerned.

  “Nothing major I just felt like, I should apologize to you Gohan.” Bulma said, turning to him.

  “Apologize? For what?” Gohan asked, tilting his head in confusion.

  “You know for what Vegeta did, two months ago… taking the spaceship we prepared for you.” Bulma expined, seeing that Gohan was still confused.

  “Oh! that don’t worry about it, him doing that actually helped push me to try out something I’ve been wanting to test out for a while but haven’t had the right motivation to try out.” Gohan said smiling at her.

  “…nevertheless, I still feel like I should apologize for his actions, we got the ship ready for you to use and then he just takes it for himself in the middle of the night, I swear I thought he’d turn over a new leaf. I mean he was still training himself to the ground, but he would occasionally make time for me and Trunks and then he does something like this.” Bulma said shaking her head.

  “It’s fine Bulma, like I said it worked out for me in the end.” Gohan said patting her shoulder. “If anything, I should be the one to apologize, I should have known telling him about my conversation with my dad would cause him to start training a lot more. I just didn’t think that he would just take off to space without a word. Sorry about that.”

  “… you’re too good for your own good Gohan.” Bulma sighed shaking her head patting his hand. “But you shouldn’t apologize for his actions he’s a grown man and should take responsibility for his actions.”

  “Oh! don’t worry Vegeta and I will have words when he gets back, but if he didn’t take the ship then I wouldn’t have been able to find the motivation to train my body to adapt to the vacuum of space.” Gohan said chuckling.

  “Heh, well I would love to see you put him in his pce we can even hold the tour-…” Bulma trailed off, looking up at him in shock.

  “WAIT! DID YOU JUST SAY YOU CAN SURVIVE IN SPACE!?” Bulma shouted, pointing at him, mouth open in shock.

  “Y-yeah, I mean it took a while for my body to adapt to the harsh conditions, but I pushed through and now I’m able to survive past the Exosphere. I even took care of a rge asteroid that was heading towards earth the other day.” Gohan said chuckling.

  “THAT WAS YOU?!” Bulma shouted again pointing at him, before putting a hand to her face and shaking her head, “Of course it was you… I should have guessed you were responsible.”

  “Did I miss something?” Gohan asked scratching his cheek confused by her sudden anger.

  “D-did you miss something?” Bulma repeated looking at him like he had grown a second head, “Do you hear that Vanadis, he’s asking if he missed something…Argh, You Saiyans are impossible!!” Bulma shouted, messing her hair up before storming off, leaving him alone with Vanadis who’d come back hearing the yelling.

  Gohan turned to Vanadis for answers, “… a couple of days ago there were reports of bright fshes in space, followed by a sudden meteor shower that scientist couldn’t expin, so they asked Capsule Corp to investigate since they have the best telescope, but we weren’t able to find anything.” She expined, seemingly back to her normal self.

  “Oh!” Gohan said chuckling in embarrassment.

  “Yeah, Oh!” Bulma said walking back, “I wasted time investigating that phenomenon, time I could have spent working on this project.”

  “Sorry, Bulma I didn’t think that my training would have caused such a stir.” Gohan said looking at her. “Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?”

  “… its fine, Gohan, it’s just you Saiyans just keep surprising me.” Bulma sighed, “I mean honestly being able to survive in space. I’m scared to think of the next thing one of you will do, but you can make it up to me by doing two things for me.”

  “Sure, what do you need?” Gohan asked nodding.

  “One is spending some time with Trunks once we’re done here, he’s been a little sad ever since Vegeta left, and I think spending time with you can break him out of his funk.” Bulma expined.

  “Oh, ok no problem, I like spending time with Trunks.” Gohan replied with a smile.

  “Good now the robots should finish in a few days so while we wait for them to finish, we will focus on any st-minute things, so I hope you don’t mind us crashing in your living quarters.” Bulma said with a smile.

  “Yeah, no problem I don’t sleep here that often.” Gohan replied with a shrug.

  “Great, now let’s get to work.” Bulma said cpping her hands.

  “Wait what’s the second thing you want me to do?” Gohan asked.

  “Oh! that… I’ll get back to you ter.” Bulma said, giving him a smile that worried him a little.

  --

  While the robots worked on building the room Gohan, Vanadis, and Bulma focused on performing st minute checks, while also catching Gohan up to speed on the project. This left them so busy that Gohan didn’t have time to think about whatever was going on between him and Vanadis. Even more so after Vanadis woke up with a new idea that she started working on immediately taking over a small section of the b for herself, she wouldn’t tell them what she was working on, just telling them that it should improve the training room tenfold. Gohan left her alone after Bulma told him that it’s best to let her work by herself whenever she gets like that, so he concentrated on helping Bulma with whatever she needed.

  Soon Gohan found himself standing next to Vanadis and Bulma inside the newly finished training room admiring it, the outside was pin looking with metal walls and a door, but the inside was the same size as the Gravity Room, but with purple floors, blue mirror like walls, with hidden slots in the ceiling where the holographic projectors were stored, and a control console that would sink into the ground once the room was activated.

  “So, now that’s it’s done who wants to give me a walk through?” Gohan asked gesturing at their surroundings, amazed by how everything turned out.

  “Go ahead, this is your baby after all.” Bulma said patting Vanadis’s shoulder when her phone suddenly started ringing, “Sorry I need to take this.” Bulma said, walking out with a wave, answering the phone.

  “Looks like it’s just the two of us.” Gohan said with a smile, that Vanadis returned, “I’m ready when you are.”

  “OH!... right… like you already know it’s an advanced training room, that should hopefully use the data you input into the console to create solid holographic enemies for you to fight, and it should even let you fight in different environments. I also wrote a program that should let you fight any previous opponents, but I’ll need you to test that portion out.” Vanadis expined smiling at him, pushing her gsses up with her index finger.

  “Wha-!” Gohan was stunned by what she just told him, “that’s what you were working on?” Gohan asked, looking at her in surprise.

  “Yes, the idea came to me the first night, and I thought of way to make it work, and I believe I have a working version for you to test out.” Vanadis expined, brushing her hair behind her ear.

  “That’s amazing Vanadis!” Gohan replied smiling at her, “…wait what do you mean by fighting previous opponents?” Gohan asked intrigued.

  “Theoretically by inputting the required data into the console, the sensors inside should create a solid holographic copy of whoever’s data you entered allowing you to fight a copy of said person. Hopefully if I did everything correctly, then the sensors should even let you change the surroundings to match the environment where the battle took pce.” Vanadis continued expining.

  “… so, what you are saying is that if I wanted to fight anyone like… Frieza on Namek than I would input the data and the sensors would create a holographic copy of pnet Namek and Frieza for me to fight.” Gohan repeated not believing his ears.

  “Yes, theoretically that’s what should happen, but like I said you will still need to test it out, so there might be a few more kinks that might pop up that we can work on, but first we need test to see if the projectors work first.” Vanadis said gesturing towards the training room.

  “Right, makes sense, we need to make sure they can handle something simple first before moving on to the harder stuff. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, this is incredible.” Gohan said, still not believing his ears, giving her another smile. “I can’t wait to try it out.”

  “Me either, I’m looking forward to seeing if everything works out well.” Vanadis replied, returning the smile.

  “Oh, I’m sure with all the work you and Bulma put into it, there should be little to no problems.” Gohan complimented.

  “Don’t forget you helped out too.” Vanadis pointed out.

  “Oh, no I just did the occasional physical lifting, handing of tools, while you guys did everything else, compared to you two I didn’t do much.” Gohan denied shaking his head.

  “Oh, no don’t put yourself down, Gohan…” Vanadis said softly squeezing his arm, “you are no slouch either, I don’t know anyone else who could end up helping us with only a few days’ worth of studying. You even pointed out a few things that we overlooked.”

  “…Thanks, Vanadis, that means a lot coming from you.” Gohan said looking into her eyes and smiling at her. That’s when they noticed her hand on his bicep, she quickly let go both going red in the face.

  “… we still have some work to do, we don’t know how durable the holograms will be, if they will be able to actually use ki bsts, and a few other things as well.” Vanadis said clearing her throat. “We just need to wait for Mrs. Bulma to finish her conversation so we can start the actual tests.”

  “Hmm, well that doesn’t sound bad, I’m looking forward to that.” Gohan replied looking up at the ceiling. “… that reminds me Bulma mentioned something about you making this with me in mind, what did she mean by that?”

  “Oh… uhm…I” Vanadis stammered going silent looking at the ground.

  “Now come on Gohan, don’t embarrass the poor girl, just say thank you.” Bulma said walking back toward them, wiping a frown off her face.

  “Sorry, it’s just that this… like I said before this is an amazing gift, and I feel like a simple thank you isn’t enough.” Gohan chuckled nervously scratching the back of his head.

  “Oh… n-no it’s fine, I just wanted to give you something… as a thank you for defeating Cell.” Vanadis shook her head. “I know you don’t really care for recognition, but I felt like you should at least get something, and I thought what’s better than a new training room.”

  “… wow, I-I don’t know what to say except… thank you for this amazing gift Vanadis.” Gohan said, giving her a small bow. “I hope I can do something just as amazing for you someday.”

  “O-oh, you don’t have to.” Vanadis refused, shaking her head.

  “It’s the least I could do for something this amazing.” Gohan replied giving her a bright smile.

  “Oh! uhm… I.” Vanadis started stuttering again.

  “I’m sorry to interrupt but unfortunately we need go a problem came up, with the convention.” Bulma said looking at them. “Can you go start the submarine Vanadis I need to talk to Gohan for a sec, we can come back another day to give the room a proper test.”

  “Y-yes Mrs. Bulma I will.” Vanadis said suddenly walking away quickly. Leaving Gohan staring at her back in confusion as she hurried away.

  “There she goes again, acting all nervous suddenly…it’s almost like she’s two different people at times… I hope she’s ok.” Gohan thought waving as she entered the elevator.

  “Thank you, I’ll be there soon.” Bulma said, bringing his attention to her.

  “So, what’s up Bulma?” Gohan asked, turning to her after the elevator closed.

  “Nothing major, I was wondering if you could come pick Trunks in a couple of days and look after him for a while.” Bulma replied.

  “Umm… sure when and for how long?” Gohan asked.

  “Sometime Friday and… until next Friday.” Bulma answered hands in front of her in a pleading motion.

  “An entire week!” Gohan excimed.

  “Sorry it’s just that this year I’m pnning on holding a science convention to try and find any hidden talents and one of the guys who was going to help out suddenly cancelled and now I have to find someone to take their pce.” Bulma expined.

  “Oh, wow that sucks Bulma… yeah I guess I can look after him for the week…” Gohan sighed.

  “OH! thank you Gohan you are a life saver, mom and dad will be out of town next week and I don’t think I could look for someone to take care of Trunks and find someone to repce the guy who cancelled.” Bulma happily sighed.

  “Yeah, no problem… at least I have some time to come up with something for us to do.” Gohan sighed shaking his head, “Is there anything else I can do to help?”

  “Oh! No, you are doing me a huge favor by taking care of Trunks.” Bulma replied shaking her head.

  “Are you sure, you don’t need anything else.” Gohan asked one st time.

  “Oh, no I should have enough time to find someone now.” Bulma smiled at him.

  “Ok, if you say so.” Gohan said watching her closely as she nodded, “Good… when will the convention take pce, it sounds fun.”

  “It will take pce early next year; it’s just taking a lot of time trying to organize everything. I have to find people to come and talk, I have to promote it, find volunteers to help set up, and so many other things.” Bulma expined.

  “Will you need any help setting up?” Gohan asked.

  “Oh, no, I can’t ask you for anymore help this convention will take pce over a couple of days, I can’t ask you to take a few days out of your schedule to help me with this.” Bulma said shaking her head. Entering the elevator that Vanadis sent back up. “You are already doing me a huge favor by taking care of Trunks.”

  “It’s fine Bulma, I think I can spare some time to help you and like I said this sounds like fun, just tell me what you need, and I’ll help however I can.” Gohan replied as Bulma entered.

  “Ok, if you insist, I’ll send you everything you need to know ter.” Bulma said smiling at him, “I’ll let Vanadis know that I found someone to help her out.” Bulma said with a grin as the elevator doors closed.

  “Wait what!” Gohan called after her, but the elevator was already going down. “… why do I feel like I just got pyed.” Gohan muttered to himself.

  --

  Next Day, A Few Miles Outside West City

  Gohan was meditating on top of a mountain, waiting when he heard a familiar fp of something flowing in the wind, “Hey, Piccolo, gd you could make it.” Gohan said, opening his eyes smiling as Piccolo nded in front of him.

  “You’re looking good Gohan, thanks for agreeing to train with me.” Piccolo replied with a smirk, holding his hand out for Gohan.

  “It’s no problem, Piccolo, I was pnning on asking you for a spar, but you asked first.” Gohan smiled, taking the hand, and standing up.

  “Hmm… so how do you want to do this?” Piccolo asked nodding.

  “Hmm… how about we start with a normal spar… no Ki bsts, no transformations for me, and then ter move on to a regur spar.” Gohan answered.

  “So pure martial arts first?” Piccolo asked, Gohan gave him a quick nod. “Sounds good.”

  “Great, let’s do this.” Gohan replied with a grin, getting into his fighting stance.

  Piccolo grinned as he took of his turban, and cape tossing them off the mountain as they crashed into the ground sending up a cloud of smoke, Gohan let out a whistle, “Nice.”

  Piccolo responded with a smirk, cracking his neck. “Ready?”

  “Yeah, let’s do this.” Gohan answered cracking his neck and knuckles.

  Gohan got into his fighting stance grinning as Piccolo copied him, they stared at each other neither moving the only sound heard the whistling of the wind. They both inched their feet forward slowly never taking their eyes off the other before they both lunged at each other.

  Their fists colliding with a resounding boom, the shockwave cracking the top of the mountain, sending pieces flying up, Gohan quickly threw another punch which was blocked by Piccolo’s forearm. They quickly traded a flurry of punches and kicks moving around the top of the mountain, this went on for a couple of minutes. Pieces of the mountain breaking and flying into the air as they moved about, they soon ended their attack with two punches they both dodged by tilting their heads to the side before both jumping back a small cut appeared on their cheeks as they nded.

  “Not bad.” Piccolo grinned wiping the blood from his cheek, with his thumb.

  “Thanks, you too.” Gohan replied, returning the grin as he wiped his cheek. “Ready to kick it up a notch?”

  Piccolo nodded his head with a grin as he charged towards Gohan, who did the same they interlocked their fingers as they both charged up their energy trying to overpower the other, the mountain crumbling from their overwhelming power. This left them floating in the air as Gohan decided to pull Piccolo towards him headbutting him, followed by a knee to the stomach, ending with a quick spin tossing Piccolo into the air.

  Gohan vanished appearing behind him hitting him with a quick chop to the back sending him flying towards the ground, where Gohan vanished again to kick Piccolo back into the air, Gohan vanished back into the sky. Gohan started charging his next attack when Piccolo elongated his arm grabbing Gohan’s Gi yanking towards him and flinging him towards a rge mountain that he crashed into, followed by a Ki bst that sent him through the mountain and crashing on some barrels, that covered him in some sort of foul-smelling liquid.

  Gohan shook his head, pushing aside the barrels, as he stood back up, he recognized the smell as gasoline, he took the time to look at his surroundings, it looked like he was in some sort of power room if the numerous barrels around him were any indication. The little light coming from above him let him make out something leaning against a wall, so he decided to walk towards it, seeing that it was some sort of generator.

  “Come on Gohan, I know you can take more than that.” Piccolo shouted.

  “Hold on a sec, Piccolo I think I found something interesting.” Gohan thought.

  “What is it, Gohan?” Piccolo asked.

  “I don’t know yet but if I had to guess it’s some sort of b.” Gohan answered as he tried turning on the generator, but it didn’t start so he decided to see if there was any fuel left for it, he found some and refilled it. Once it was full the lights flickered on giving Gohan a better look at the room, he was in seeing lots of barrels, and some cables leading away from the room he was in. “Let me explore it a little.”

  “Explore it ter I want to continue our spar.” Piccolo thought back.

  “Give me a sec it shouldn’t take long.” Gohan thought back, before cutting off the connection to Piccolo. He made his way through the cavern, he felt a breeze coming from his left, he turned and saw some sort of doorway covered in greenery that was slowly making its way into the cavern. He saw the cables continued to the right, so he followed them, they led him to a section where the rock wall turned into steel, the cable led to two doors one was open and the other was closed he entered the open one and found himself in a dark room, he looked around for a light switch.

  Finding it he turned it on, waiting for the lights to flicker on, when they did, he took in his surroundings, he saw all the cables leading towards a rge white cylindrical pod leaning against the wall at the end of the room. His eyes widened as they nded on a familiar symbol on one of the walls, “SHIT!” Gohan muttered, “PICCOLO COME DOWN HERE WE MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM!” Gohan thought.

  Piccolo quickly came flying towards Gohan finding him standing his eyes open wide, “What’s the problem Gohan!” Gohan pointed towards the wall at a red ribbon symbol on the wall next to an open white cylindrical pod with the number 21 on it. “Shit!”

  ____

  (AN: First part done, I rewrote this one a few times not quite sure on which direction I wanted to go in, before finally deciding on this one, for a few reasons. One because I wanted to finally reveal what Vanadis and Bulma have been working on a new training room that is inspired by the same one in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. The second reason I’ll leave for you guys to specute on and the third was so that I could write from a different POV for the next part.

  When I first decided on writing this fanfic, I told myself that I would do my best to keep centered around Gohan, except during certain times where I felt like a different perspective would help overall. Which is why the next chapter will be written from a different perspective and contain a few time jumps.)
