Gohan carried his body through the snow, making his way to Fujon Cave.

"Alright I'm here. Lightning was right, I can feel a large amount of energy coming from within the cave."

He trudged ownward. Inside Fujon Cave, Gohan was mesmerized by all of the glistening crystal surrounding him. Blue, pink, green, yellow, a wide variety of colors. Gohan picked up a blue crystal. He examined its shiny features.

I think Setsuna would like this. I'll keep on to it.

He put the crystal in his sheath and moved forward. At the end of he cave, he seen a big blue ice golem.

"What the, what the heck is that?! It's huge!"

The ice golem didn't take notice of Gohan until he spoke. The golem looked down at the young man.

"Vile human! Why you come into domain of golem," it's voice sounding a bit slow.

"I'm uh, I'm here to defeat you!"

"Defeat me? Golem think you funny. Seal almost gone. Me almost full power, but Golem defeat you now AHHHHHHHH!"

The golem shot a blue beam out of his mouth.

"Woah!"

Gohan was able to dodge it just in time. He moved away, bringing out StarLight.

"It's time to take you down!"

Gohan charged at Golem and swung his sword. It barely made a dent in Golem's rock hard, icy body.

"Huh?! Tsk, HAAAAAA!"

Gohan was hacking and slashing away, not even making Golem flinch.

"Golem don't know what boy up to, but boy annoys golem."

The giant swung his arm, knocking Gohan away.

"It's big alright, plus StarLight isn't having any effect at all."

Golem slowly moved forward.

"Die boy!"

Golem plunged his fist at Gohan. Gohan jumped in the air, dodged the fist and jumped on it's arm.

"Let's go!"

Gohan ran up Golem's arm and backflipped kicked it in his face.

"Ughhhh!"

Golem fell back, feeling the impact of Gohan's boot.

"Golem felt hit. Now you die!"

"Gohan don't think so!"

"Now you mock Golem?! Golem make you pay!"

Golem smashed his hands on the ground. Ice shards starting formed and headed for Gohan. Gohan's sword started to pulse. He lifted StarLight in the air and brought her down in mighty fashion.

"Slash Wave!"

A giant air wave came from the sword and smashed into the ice shards. Particles of ice shards flew everywhere as they were destroyed from the Slash Wave.

"Ghhhh!"

Gohan covered some of the shards with his sword. Suddenly Gohan felt an extremely large force hurl him almost out the cave. Golem's fist slammed into StarLight, knocking Gohan back. StarLight was flung out of his hand. He held his chest and coughed a bit of blood.

"His power is crazy, and the seal hasn't completely worn off yet..."

The cave started to rumble. It shook from above, some of the crystals were dropping from the ceiling.

This cave is gonna collapse at any minute. I need to make sure I'm out when it does, while he's still in it.

The ground rumbled again, only this time it was Golem running towards him.

"Freedom! I'm almost to freedom! Out of my way boy!"

Gohan grabbed his sword and put it back in his seath.

"Sorry but, I don't think you'll be getting your freedom. The only thing you'll receive is your death!"

Gohan powered up some. The energy building up in his body, swirling around him. He put his hands at his side.

"Kaaaaaaameeeeeeeehaaaaaaameeeeeee!"

A blue-ish like energy formed in Gohan's hands. The energy turned into a ball and it grew bigger with more energy Gohan put it into it.

"DIE!"

Golem punched max power at Gohan. The energy was getting too big for Gohan to handle!

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Gohan fired the kamehamea wave directly at Golem. A blue energy lit up the whole cave.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO! FREEDOM!"

Golem was turned into nothingness from Gohan's ultimate attack. Golem was no more.

"There, I did it. Woah!"

Gohan became off balance from the cave shaking. It was going to collapse soon. Gohan hurried out the cave. He checked to see if the blue crystal was still intact. Sure enough, it was.

Gohan returned to Lightning and reported his success.

"It was a golem inside the cave. It was hard but, I was able to defeat it."

"I expect nothing less from Minato's descendant. You can go now."

"Alright. Huh?!"

Gohan felt a tremendous power coming from outside the throne room. It was a bit dark, powerful and dark.

"Lightning, you feel that?"

"I do. Let's move Gohan."

"Right!"

Lightning and Gohan ran to see the trouble.

The snow was getting heavier by the second, a blizzard falling down on them. In the midst of it all, a dark knight laid in the snow.

"Was this...where the power came from," Gohan asked.

"I believe so. I've never seen this creature before in my life."

The dark knight instantly stood on his feet. Gohan pulled out his sword.

"Who are you?!"

"Oh I'm hurt! You've forgotten me so quickly Minato Namikaze!"

The dark knight pointed at Gohan.

"M, Minato?"

"Don't play coy with me! Your Minato Namikaze! You have his energy, the same golden energy since when we last fought! Now I have trained long and hard for this battle once again! I may have lost in the past, but that's in the past! Now we do battle!"

Gohan's power just dropped to zero and suddenly lost his will to fight.

What's with this guy...

Lightning stepped to the dark knight.

"I regret to inform you that this may be the closest to Minato you'll get."

"Wha, why do you say that?"

"This is his descendant Gohan Yatakashi. He's inherited Minato's power. Of course their identical to each other, but your sorely mistaken."

"So he's not...Minato..."

Gohan put his sword back.

"I'm not him, but I do have a bit of his power. Sorry if this isn't what your expecting. Now if you'll excuse me, I have somewhere to be."

Gohan teleported home. The dark knight stood there in the cold disappointed beyond belief.

"N, no. This cannot be...I sensed his power. I came all the way here to fight Minato. That damned Minato!"

"What's this...!"

Lightning felt a huge power surge from within the dark knight. The purplish dark aura from him was released all at once, stinging the air around him. Lightning was getting pushed back.

He's an odd one, but his power is incredible!

"I'VE CAME ALL THIS WAY FOR MINATO! I DEMAND A FIGHT! YOU GIRL! TELL ME YOUR NAME!"

Lightning was getting a bit creeped out, not by his power, but by his...attitude.

"Priestess Lightning..."

"BUT THE SKY IS CLEAR! SEE?! I MADE A JOKE! NOW FIGHT ME AHHHHHHHH!"

Gohan went home and changed clothes. He still had the crystal in his hand. He made his way to the party.

"How I love this Christmas party," Ento said.

"I'm enjoying myself actually," Tenshiro said shirtless.

"If, if this game was only with Tenshrio, I'd be glad to do this, but this is insane," Amy said in a bunny outfit.

"I feel so humiliated, I don't know why I agreed to this," Rosa said in a Santa outfit.

"I don't seem to mind much...," Setsuna said in a swimsuit.

"Strut yourself Setsuna! Bam!" Izuna was wearing a one piece swimsuit.

"This is getting good. Now I just need to get ASUKA unclothed..." Ento said looming in Asuka's direction.

"Suckers, you'll never see me like them," Asuka said confidently.

The gang was playing strip poker. Tenshiro lost once so he choose to take off his shirt. Rosa and Amy were utter first timers in poker and lost. Ento had a wide variety of selections for them to choose from. The only reason Amy agreed was by Tenshrio's persuasion. By "Persuasion," basically his sparkling abs and awesome six pack. Xion, Dawn, and Ayame had no intentions of playing and possibly losing. Gohan came knocking on the door. Ento opened it.

"Gohan my man! I'd knew you'd be back!"

"Like I said I would. Why is everyone dressed up," Gohan asked.

"This is just getting more and more humiliating!"

Ramone laughed at Rosa's expense, but she felt that Rosa was secretly having fun. Setsuna face flushed red. She desperately wanted to cover her body in some clothes.

"AHHHHHHHH Gohan don't look! To soon to soon!"

She threw her coat at him.

"Setsuna what are you- Buah!"

Gohan's face was stuffed in Setsuna's coat. The Atrocious Bliss boxes came out of her pocket.

"I'm gotta put my clothes back on!"

Setsuna grabbed her clothes off the couch and headed to the bathroom.

"Just what is going on..." said a confused Gohan. He put Setsuna's coat on the couch.

"A game of strip poker my friend. Wanna join," Ento asked.

"No thanks."

"Awwww your no fun. Well, your good buddy Tenshiro showed up."

"Never said we were friends," Tenshiro said focusing on the task at hand.

He was in a heated poker game against Asuka. Everybody else was relaxing, watching television and enjoying the falling snow. Setsuna came from the bathroom moments later. Gohan was in the corner talking with Ento.

"It was that big?!" Ento said wanting to know about Gohan's mission.

"Yeah, it was huge. I'm just glad I was able to get out in one piece. I was able to snag this."

Gohan pulled the crystal out of his pocket.

"It's pretty. You got that from the cave?"

"Yep. There were tons of them."

"You couldn't snag one for your buddy Ento?"

"Well the cave was collapsing and-"

"Hi boys!"

"Setsuna!"

Gohan quickly slid the crystal in his pocket.

"So what took you so long? I thought something might've happened to you? Oh wait don't me, you got me a present!"

"That's exactly the reason! It took me a long time to find it but well, here it is."

Gohan pulled out the crystal. Setsuna's eyes widened at it's malevolent beauty.

"It's, its, I can't believe this. This must've cost so much..."

"Well I did have to fight for this."

"I'll leave you kids alone."

Ento left the two to themselves.

"Huh, what's this?"

Ento accidentally kicked a box. He seen two on his floor. He picked them up and examined them.

"Atrocious Bliss. Who's are these?"

"NOOOOOOOOOO!"

Setsuna tackled him and the boxes fell to the floor.

"Help Xion! I'm under attack!" Ento yelled.

"No thanks."

Setsuna scooped up the boxes.

"What were you doing going through my coat?!"

"I didn't! They just fell out, honest. I guess uhh, you were planning on having a memorable Christmas as well huh?"

"D, don't talk so loud. I'm guessing you know what they are."

"Oh yeah. If your serious about doing this, then I won't stop you. Just don't make any noise and clean up when your done."

"Yeah...hey Gohan, come here for a sec."

"Okay."

Setsuna led Gohan into Ento's room and locked the door.

"What are we doing in Ento's room," Gohan asked.

"Oh I just wanted some privacy ya know. Hey can you show me that crystal again?"

"Sure."

They sat on Ento's bed. Gohan took out the crystal.

"I don't how you got your hands on something like this but, I love it."

"It's yours. Here."

The crystal shined in Setsuna's eyes.

"I'll treasure this always. Here, I have something for us."

Setsuna took out the boxes. She handed the blue box to Gohan.

"I wonder what's inside."

Gohan opened the box to find...nothing.

"Setsuna there's uhhh, nothing inside."

"What?!"

Setsuna opened her box to find nothing in it as well.

"At least I got this for free..." She said under her breath.

"Wait a second..."

Setsuna looked at Gohan. He had his nose in the box, smelling it's contents.

"This doesn't smell bad. Actually, it has this appealing scent."

Gohan had his nose all in that box.

"Your a strange one Gohan..."

"It smells good, but what is this I'm feeling? It's as if my body is on fire!"

Gohan dropped the box and touched his body. It was indeed hot.

Your body will get hot, and you'll yearn for each other's touch.

Remembering the lady's words, Setsuna opened her box and took a big whiff of it.

He's right. It does smell good. Soooo good, that my body...

Just like Gohan, Setsuna's body started to burn up.

"My body burns!" Setsuna said clutching her chest.

"What is this..."

"Hold me Gohan!"

Setsuna tackled Gohan on the bed. She laid on top of him.

"Setsuna..."

"Gohan..."

Setsuna started kissing Gohan. They stayed like that for awhile, the Atrocious Bliss taking effect.

"My body is still hot...maybe I should...take off my clothes..."

Setsuna started taking off her top, showing her bra and bare breasts.

"Setsuna, wa, wait just a sec..."

Gohan couldn't think straight. He was living in the moment. OH YEAH!

"I don't think I can wait anymore Go-Go. Do you...do have something before we get started?"

"Something...!"

Who would've thought I'd get myself into something Like this?! I didn't bother to bring a condom with me! It wasn't like I was gonna ask Setsuna to have sex with me! AHHHHHHH!

Gohan was getting mind boggled. Setsuna climbed on top of him.

"It's ok...if you don't have one. This is my first time...so please be gentle, okay?"

"Yeah, sure thing..."

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Gohan felt something. A faint power that was slowly dropping. He didn't know how he was able to feel it, but it felt like a distress signal. He couldn't shake the feeling off.

I can sense a power decreasing rapidly. Is this Lightning's power?

"Gohan, please say something..."

"Setsuna I...I can't do this. I'm sorry but I have to go."

Gohan moved Setsuna to the side and got off the bed.

"W, wait Gohan!"

"It's an emergency I just remembered. I'll be back, I promise!"

Gohan unlocked the door and left Ento's apartment. Everyone wondered why he left so abruptly, calling his name out but he gave no response back. He raced outside.

Who was that dark knight? He gave me an odd feeling. If this is indeed Lightning's power I'm sensing, then I'd better hurry!

Lightning was kicked away in the snow, bruises and cuts all over her body.

"So, so strong..."

Lightning was barely able to stand, while the dark knight was throwing snow at her, trying to find some enjoyment.

"You gave me an unpleasant fight young lady, so I'll give you mountains of snow balls as a reward! Take all of this!"

He started chucking snowballs at Lightning. Her anger was seeping through, but knew she was no match for the knight. Gohan teleported on the battlefield, sword in sheath, determined look on his face. The knight threw a snowball and Gohan caught it, crushing it in his hands.

"Oh my it's the Minato Namikaze reject. Go away, I'm playing with the young priestess," the knight said readying another snowball.

Gohan turned around towards Lightning. He looked down and checked her injuries.

"Are you alright Lightning?"

"I'll be fine."

Lightning stood up.

"This knight...his power is incredible. It's as if he was just toying with me. How humiliating for you to see me like this..."

Gohan looked towards the knight. The knight waved and began making more snowballs.

"Go back to Valhalla. I'll handle this."

"Your no match for him! If I couldn't do it, what makes you think you can?!"

The moon shined brightly on Gohan. Gohan turned towards Lightning.

"Because I'm Minato Namikaze's descendant."

Lightning couldn't explain it, but she caught a glimpse of Minato. The face, the posture, his reassurance, it resembled Minato just like Lightning remembered when she was a little girl.

"Al, alright then. Do be careful."

Lightning sped back to Valhalla.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!"

The knight chucked snowballs at Lightning. Gohan took out StarLight and sliced all of them.

"MOVE IT REJECT!"

"I'll be your opponent. In the name of my ancestor I will defeat you!"

The dark knight's attitude changed.

"Oho, this'll be fun."

The dark knight used his dark energy to conjure a sword, imbedded with dark energy.

"Shall we begin, Yatakashi?"

Gohan has sworn to defeat the knight in Minato's name. There's no turning back now! But that moment with Setsuna... -Crescent Waves
