Krillin saw it, he knew he had to have it. His padded shoes made barley any noise upon the kitchen floor as he crept, trying to remain unnoticed from Master Roshi sitting watching a rather "visual" exercise video. Krillin smiled as he had in full view the sight of his desire, cake. The soft and succulent filling and the moist frosting called to him, beckoning to pleasure. Krillin indulged himself with a finger-full of icing, finally picking up the knife and preparing to cut himself a slice of heavenly delight.
"What are you doing Krillin?" came a loud, child like voice from behind. Krillin jumped a mile high and gasped as he was caught in the act. He cringed his teeth knowing immediately who it was.
"Hello....Gohan." he muttered, disappointed and still hungry.
"Mommy says that that's is for dinner, you shouldn't have any." Krillin nodded and put down the knife, reluctantly. He turned to face Gohan, rubbing his fatigued eyes. "Man Krillin, what happened to you?" Gohan gasped as he saw several large bruises and bleeding cuts all over Krillin's face and tattered body. Krillin shrugged, thinking for a moment.
"Oh! I just came back from a training session with...um...I cant remember."
"You cant remember?!" Gohan said almost laughing.
"Well, I was hit pretty hard." He said, rubbing his bald head. Gohan laughed and ran a hand through his black hair which had grown much longer since Krillin had last seen him. It was good to see a old friend.
"Krillin, you and I should spar sometime." Gohan implied, Krillin smiled but then shook his head.
"Are you kidding? I would be pummeled, your a Super Sayjin! I wouldn't stand a chance!"
"Awww...I wont use all my power. If your ok we could spar now." Krillin didn't want to disappoint his best friends son, being that Goku was to return soon to the Kame house from finding the last dragonball, a personal favor to Bulma. Krillin reluctantly nodded and motioned for Gohan to lead the way. Giggling like a child, Gohan leaped out the door and never hit the ground. Surrounded in a green aura he blasted off, Krillin soon followed suit.
They flew for at least a hour, trying to get to that special spot where Goku first fought Vegeta, then they could have some fun. The landscape flew by hastily, Krillin's mind really not focused on the upcoming battle but instead on the beautiful canyons and the piece of moist cake he left behind. His mind snapped back into reality as he realized he had left Gohan behind about a quarter mile ago, he turned around and landed on the opposite cliff from him. The dirt felt chalk like under his feet and Krillin attempted to gather his thoughts. He knew he could not win, or have a slim chance at it, but he would show Gohan and everyone never to underestimate a short, bald, angry little man. He looked at the child's face, he was smiling gleefully. "Like a true Sayjin, always enjoying a battle." He muttered to himself, also understanding part of his happiness engulfed in innocence. Krillin raised his hands into battle position and prepared for Gohan's onslaught.
"Hehehe. Ready Krillin?" Gohan yelled, waving madly.
"Anytime kid." Krillin responded. Krillin prepared to attack but yelped as Gohan vanished before him. His mind racing furiously, he ducked swiftly as a fist nearly struck where his head was a moment ago. He twirled around, attempting to strike Gohan with the back of his fist but felt it grabbed and held in place. But being older with more fighting experience, he took advantage and kicked backwards, striking Gohan in the face but nearly breaking his arm in the process. Gohan let go and Krillin leaped into the air, bursting off and gaining some distance. Krillin turned, looking down upon the child rubbing his nose.
"Owwwww!" Gohan yelled. He looked up at Krillin, smiling again. Gohan leaped into the air and charged Krillin. In response, Krillin cupped his hands.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaahhhhh!" He yelled, charging energy and gathering it to him. He extended his hands and blasted a green beam at the charging Gohan. The sky darkened as the beam exploded and a dusting of rock and dirt flew into the air. Had he got him? I couldn't have been that easy. His thoughts were confirmed as he felt a large power behind him and plummeted to the ground as a large kick to the back stuck him. Regaining control, he used his hands to flip himself onto his feet before he went face first into the earth. He slid a few feet before regaining his balance but he didn't have much time to gather his thought's. A blur appeared in front of his face and a fury of punches flew at him as Krillin moved left and right in a desperate attempt to dodge them. Each punch barley missed his face as Krillin scanned for a possible area to strike back. He thought he saw a opening, a flash, a nanosecond of opportunity but as he moved in he buckled as a strong right hook took him across his jaw followed by dozens of wounding punches to his midsection. Krillin felt the air escape from his lungs as he desperately attempted to yell in pain. Finally a stinging upward kick to his face sent him flying backwards away from the painful grip of Gohan. His body landed roughly on the jagged Cliff-top.
Krillin took a breath but felt Gohan moving in again. Reacting with a second wind of speed, Krillin blurred left and Gohan's furious punches pounded through the rock he laid on seconds ago. Gohan was actually shocked at the move but was on the defensive as Krillin moved in with dozens of two fisted punches aimed at his face. Gohan raised his hands in defense and felt every blow strike his arms, pain shot up through his body. Taking a brief hesitation opportunity, Gohan leaped back instead of attacking and powered up. He surrounded himself in a red aura and drastically raised his power. Seeing that he was at the moment no match for the powering up Gohan, Krillin followed suit and he too powered up. "Time to turn up the heat!" Krillin yelled. "Bring it on chrome dome!" Gohan yelled, his battle rage getting the better of his personal feelings. Gohan attacked swiftly but felt Krillin blur behind him and trip him to the ground. Gohan immediatly leaped to his feet and blasted into the air, speeding as fast as he could go, feeling Krillin hot on his heels. Gohan gathered energy to him.
"KA....!!!!" he yelled, still speeding upwards but looking down and cupping his hands at Krillin. "MEHAME!!" he felt his energy about to hit its peak, he knew he had to fire quickly because he could also feel Krillin gather energy. With a final scream of "HA!!!!!!!!" he felt the Kamehameha wave fly from his hands and at Krillin. Krillin, his arrogance getting the better of him, was struck by the beam and felt it overtake him and blast him full speed at the earth. Gohan stopped, still maintaining control over the beam, he moved his two finger upward and the beam followed suit instead propelling Krillin up into the air.
Krillin didn't remember if he had ever been hit with a Kamehameha wave before but now he understood what Vegeta must have gone through. This was pain he never felt in his life, he screamed aloud but it was muffled by the beams roaring energy. He flew upwards for what felt like hours but he knew was only seconds. Finally regaining control, he leaped off the beam as it continued upwards to dissipate in space. Krillin squinted, breathing heavily and nearly on the verge of tears. His uniform was tattered and the top half ripped away. He was badly singed and could barley move. He hovered high above the clouds for a moment, regaining his composure.
"Aw man. I knew I couldn't beat the damn kid. Why must humans be so weak?" He hovered lower, ready to give Gohan his surrender. Though as he parted the clouds, he gasped at what he saw far below. A massive power level was emerging, followed by a large flash of light. Focusing his vision, he easily saw the figure below, powerful with bright yellow hair. Krillin gasped, he couldn't believe Gohan actually went SSJ. He saw a blur coming up at him at full speed, only red eyes and fury present.
"My god! Gohan! Were only sparr-" his words were abruptly cut off by a crushing blow to the face followed by several near impossible to see blows. He barley saw his opponent as he had no strength of ability to defend himself as he felt crushing blow after blow to his already tattered and badly hurt body.
Finally seeing Gohan, he was horrifying in his perfect and blinding form. He was at awe with his mature form and his flowing golden hair, like a glowing heavenly light. It was beautiful, yet terrifying. All Krillin saw was a flash of energy, a searing pain, and everything went black.
Am I dead? Krillins mind raced. He found himself in a black area, impassible. Everything was a blur, silenced, horrifying. Time was irrelevent, and such it could have been hours, days, perhaps even seconds. He layed down in the darkness and waited for death.
"Krillin?! Are you ok?! My god!" came a familiar voice, it sounded faint and very far away. Moments passed before he heard other voices around him, they too faint but with a sense of freindship and compassion.
" Son what did you do?!" came another distant voice, Krillin smiled.
"I...I...I lost controll daddy!!! Im sorry!!!"
"We have to get him to the hospital!"
"You know better never to spar with...well...humans! Its wrong and you could seriously hurt them. You are a Super Sayjin, you cant just play around, this is not a childs game! They are weaker, they cant stand up to your kind of power!" said a raspy and condescending voice, Krillin recognized it as Vegeta. Krillin felt anger well up within his soul. Weaker?! Who were they to call him weak?! Krillin had always been tired of being second best. But not he was not second best, he was fourth! It was absoulute horror. He could not speak, cry out or see. He felt trapped under a high sheet of ice, freezing in the caverns of his own mind. Then he seemed to fall for what felt like a eternity.
"Krillin?" a soft voice awoke him from his terror.
"What?! Huh?!" Krillin said, jolting into consciousness.
"Just lay back, your alright. Your in the hospital." He felt a soft, female hand push him back down gently. "We thought we were going to lose you." He did not respond, the thought of his own death at the hands of Gohan disgusted him. He lay quiet and still for a hour. Later he felt himself sponge bathed and dried, the simple sounds of a hospital around him. Hours passed, Krillin soon felt no one would come to see him.
"Krillin?! Thank god your alright!" came a sudden voice. Krillin woke up from accidently dozing off a few hours ago. His vision cleared and he soon saw the freindly and familar face of Goku in front of him. Krillin managed a smile, he tried to wave but looked down for the first time to see his body strapped to the bed and casts all around him.
"H...Hi Goku." Krillin spoke, his voice raspy and weak.
"Just be still...your ok. I have someone here who wants to apoligize to you." Goku motioned to someone outside the door. Krillin felt anger well up within him as Gohan walked in the door, almost in tears.
"Im sorry Krillin..." he muttered, no able to look him in the eye. Krillin did not respond but instead turned his head, not able to look at the kid.
"We will leave you alone...you need your rest." Krillin kept his emotions in check, needing all his strenght to refrain from attacking the boy verbally. As they walked out, Krillin made a pact with himself. He would never be the weakest again. He would find a way to become more powerfull, and show thoes Sayjins what a human can really do! He would make them sorry for ever doubting him!
