AN: Hey guys I'm back again. I'm really on a roll now… Well I think I'll be working on my other stories soon too so don't expect this to be a daily event sorry but I just don't think it's possible. Anyway since the one person who reviewed pointed this out, I'm sorry for the lame fight last chapter, I don't think Gohan would be the one to draw out a match just to let his opponent make a fool out of himself. So anyway, enjoy!
Videl was sitting on the short grass stretching while Sharpner was relaxing on a tree when Gohan returned, dropping in from above.
Sharpner let out a surprised yelp as his friend landed in front of him. "Since when can people fly?"
"You should've expected it Sharpner, you saw him fly at the Cell Games." Videl teased.
"Oh, right… Well let's get going then." Sharpner suggested to divert the focus to Gohan and off of him.
"Yeah Gohan, what's first?" Videl asked.
"You both put these on." Gohan told them tossing them both capsules. The two popped them open and were surprised to find a shirt that weighed way too much.
"Why do we need different clothes?" Sharpner asked as he stripped of his old blue shirt and into the new red one. "And why does it feel so heavy?"
"These are training tools to help you gain speed." Gohan answered. "They weigh thirty pounds so they feel heavier than a normal shirt."
"Gohan, where do you expect me to change?" Videl snarled.
The half breed gulped as he realized what she was saying. "Um, behind a tree or something?" He suggested hoping that would satisfy her.
"Behind a tree he says, obviously I'm not going to right out in the open." Videl muttered to herself as she walked into the trees surrounding the clearing.
Once she came back Gohan said, "Right, now how about we do, uh, um… Oh I got it, how about we run around the clearing." He looked around the football field sized clearing before adding. "A hundred laps should be enough."
"Are you kidding, a hundred?" Sharpner yelled.
"No, that should be a good warm up." Gohan tilted his head trying to figure out something. "We could do more if a hundred isn't enough."
"No! No, it's okay." Sharpner interrupted his thoughts before the number could get any higher.
Gohan walked over to the edge of the clearing before responding with a quick, "Hurry up!" When his friends were next to them he started jogging without a word.
"Gohan slow down!" Videl gasped after sprinting after him for two laps.
"Oops sorry." Gohan slowed down until Sharpner and Videl were easily able to keep up. "I guess I overestimated your speed."
"Overestimated? How are you not even out of breath?" Videl asked now able to cope better with the slower pace.
"I know, he isn't wearing a weighted shirt!" Sharpner snarled.
"Of course I am! I normally don't wear one anymore but I figured if I was going to be training with you guys then I might as well get as much as I could out of it. The shirts don't really help me." Gohan told him.
"Why not?" Videl asked.
"The heaviest shirt I know of doesn't really help at all in my training. If we make the shirts any heavier they tend to be too bulky and get in the way." Gohan explained speeding up the pace slightly. "Don't fall behind."
"So how much do you have on?" Sharpner asked.
"This is about three hundred and fifty pounds and is just a bit too bulky, I only wore it because I figured I wouldn't have to move that fast." Gohan told them.
"That's impossible! I could hardly lift that much once much less run with it." Sharpner protested.
"When we stop you can lift it if you want." Gohan offered. Finally when the two non alien teens were ready to collapse Gohan stopped. "There, that's a hundred."
"Finally." Sharpner said before falling onto his back, Videl joining him a second later.
"Come on guys, that wasn't that bad. Didn't you want to see if I was lying Sharpner?" Gohan asked.
"Oh yeah, let me see that shirt." Sharpner ordered standing up slowly with his hand out.
Gohan easily pulled out of said shirt and held it out a few inches from his friend. "Go ahead, pick it up."
Sharpner reached out and tried to pick it up with the same amount of force he would a regular shirt and it didn't even budge. He lifted up the shirt with all his strength and was barely able to lift it four inches with one hand. Finally he added his second hand and was able to take it completely from Gohan's grip but had to drop it ten seconds later. "How do you walk around with that?" He asked putting an emphasis on that.
"I went through enough training to have that be easy, before the Cell Games I trained under ten times gravity so this is nothing." Gohan told them.
"Ten times… How'd you even get to somewhere with ten times gravity?" Videl asked.
"Oh, there's this room now that we call the gravity room that can change the force of gravity." Gohan explained his words speeding up as he went along. "But that wasn't where I trained then but it was something like that, just it was able to fit a year into a day although we didn't stay in there for a whole year."
"What?" Videl asked, not comprehending most of what he had just said.
"We have a gravity room that can manipulate gravity to be more than that of earth's and there is also another room that lets you live a year in only a day that has ten times earth's gravity." Gohan explained slower.
"Okay, you live in a fantasy land, let's let Gohan go off on his own and defeat some evil alien." Sharpner joked, not believing him one bit.
"I've already dealt with two evil aliens and one not so evil any more; I don't want to have to deal with any more." Gohan said seriously.
"Are you serious? What do you mean by aliens?" Videl asked.
"Oh you know, people from different planets wanting to come destroy the human race to make Earth more marketable on the intergalactic planet trade." Gohan answered with a shrug. "And yes, I'm very serious. That's why I started training at the age of four under Piccolo."
"Stop pulling our chain you big goofball." Sharpner said, trying to make Gohan say something that actually made sense for example that he was making it all up and was just really strong from chopping down trees and living in the woods or something.
"I think he's telling the truth Sharpner." Videl told him.
"No way, are you serious?" Sharpner looked to Gohan for confirmation.
"I'm not lying I promise. If it weren't for my dad we would've been wiped out over ten years ago." Gohan said. "Now, how about we continue training?" He snatched his shirt up from off the ground and had it on before either city dweller noticed he had moved.
"You mean that wasn't it?" Sharpner almost cried.
"You can't just tell us something like that and then not explain!" Videl screamed.
"Okay, how about I explain after we finish training." Gohan smirked.
"No, you explain about your dad and over ten years ago now and then everything else later." Videl ordered.
Instead of answering Gohan attacked her with a swift punch that didn't connect but used enough force to knock her back a step. "We've had enough of a break it's time to get back to work." He said with an unnatural focus.
"Who are you and what've you done with Gohan?" Sharpner joked. "Well, what are we doing now?"
"Well since you guys already worked out at Videl's I was thinking a short spar and then being done for today." Gohan suggested.
"Just don't forget, you're explaining everything after we are finished." Videl growled.
"Well maybe not everything but some things sure." Gohan reasoned.
"Why not everything?" Videl pouted.
"We would be here for another year or more!" Gohan protested, not enjoying the guilt he felt from causing Videl to pout.
"Fine! But you will explain everything to me at one point." Videl said after another minute and Gohan not relenting.
"Woah man, you just stood up to the puppy dog face." Sharpner whistled with awe as she gave up.
Just then a cell phone rang, causing both Sharpner and Videl to scramble to find their phones. It turned out to be Videl's and after a short conversation of 'yes' and 'no' and 'sure' she put her phone back into a hidden pocket. "I have to go; apparently my father has a press conference for one thing or another and he's dragging me along. But I expect to be told everything tomorrow."
"Okay, when do you want to train again?" Gohan asked before she ran away.
"Tomorrow? Whenever but I really have to go, just tell me in school." Videl said before running away.
"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then and we can figure it out." Sharpner said before also running off.
"And then there was one." Gohan chuckled to himself before heading home.
