Energy Blade
- Age 773 -
- POV - Trunks
Sparing with Gohan had taught me how bad I was, too focused on increasing my ki or battle power
Right now i'm close to Gohan's base power level, I improved alot these past 8 months than my whole life. it was quite the eye opener i understood that having large amount ki is nothing if you're not managing efficiently.
My spars with Gohan let me know what i'm really missing, it was experience even in my previous I was never a fighter I understood that lot factors came while fighting, it wasn't simply punching and kicking it was more like chess, every move you make is strategically made so you have the upper hand. When to throw and how to throw, even light punches or jabs might make sense, blindly having large energy might give you an advantage but if they were close to your power levels it comes down to experience and your battle sense.
I slowly levitated and focused all my energy and my intent into forming a blade, my past techniques were way to rough and way too irregular.
*zigg* slowly a pure blade was formed, it looked similar to the Zamasu one with blue colour, before it was similar to Salza but right now it was more refined. i also tried to recreate abilities from the show although i could only make a bastardized version of it, and homing Ki and my variation of ki blades.
Using the same concept Piccolo used for his spiral cannon, using all the intent and energy with perfect ki control I was able to create this, sensing ki energy from the blade I felt it was almost above Gohan in his super saiyan state, which makes somewhat sense since all my ki is condensed into a blade form.
I started to see the limits of my ki blade by slicing trees and rocks in different ways one where I concentrated as thin as possible and for others to increase the length of the blade to attack further targets, Results came somewhat better than my previous time, from what I noted as long as I'm using this skill at my peak state of mind I'll able to use it in different forms without wastage of ki or else most of time this move cost all of my stamina and ki if i failed i'm out cold.
Although it takes huge strain on my mental abilities. that is why as long as I'm at my peak state of mind this move is better used.
"That looks powerful" Gohan said hovering over in the sky
"Not sure if i could use in the battle its not as versatile as my Ki blade, this one takes too long and too much energy just to maintain it."
"You should take some rest, part of getting stronger is leaving your body to heal. Overtrain-"
"I know Gohan, i'm just-" looking at my hand i felt weak, I never could go against Gohan even without his transformation there was nothing I could do against him. Whether tactics or anything else i'm just useless to matter worse I can't transform into a Super Saiyan.
No amount of fury helped even using my past life grievance as a way to invoke anger doesn't work. Imagining people close to me dying also doesn't work, I didn't understand why this thought was leading me to despair.
"Look Trunks, sometimes getting to where am I is not a instantaneous process. all have different paths on getting where they are. i understand you want to help against the androids." I think you misunderstood Gohan I have no issues with you going against Androids, since we still have time till i turn 12 i think.
'sighs' "lets get you home, afterwards i'll take you to a cool place I found." saying this we flew towards Capsule Corp.
------------
Most of time went towards training from early morning to late nights either I had been practicing my moves or stances if not then Ki training figuring on how to properly use it since Gohan was useless at it.
Ki blast and that Piccolo move is all he knows, it was quite basic our spars taught me battle against him was disadvantageous for me, whether its height or stamina, skills his on whole other level. only way i could even last was to go unorthodox style.
Today was a rest day, the reason I was busy was I always bored in this new world. my mother worked on her machine most of time and Gohan only came to visit us or to pick me up for training, I was all alone bored, tv was just news about androids attacks or where shelters are and most of time only radio works.
Reading was only thing I could pass time although i'm not at the level where I could build things like Mom does but i'm getting to point where I understood how it works but creating is entirely a different story.
This was something I had huge amount of admiration for my Mom, she could a build freaking time machine not to mention somehow able to replicate alien tech in her teens.

Author note.
After the Gohan spoilers from movie the power scale i thought for this fic got killed? so doing some changes starting from the fact that ultimate form is only stronger than ssj 3 and less than ssj2 rage.
As for Final Gohan form I wouldn't want to keep it canon maybe in future if I felt like using it. For potential awakened piccolo I might use him but without the whole wish thingy.
