Episode 6: Gohan's Determination
With all the other Z warriors out of comission, Gohan has to fight Basil alone. Basil begins to slowly walk toward Gohan.
Basil: "You've got to be kidding me. You, fight me one-on-one? Ha! You barely come up to my waist, kid!"
Gohan: "I have no choice but to fight!"
Basil: "Well then, if you have a death wish that's fine by me!"
Basil begins by rushing up to Gohan and knocking him to the ground with one single punch. He then proceeds to stop on his head. Gohan screams in pain as Basil continues his abusive attack. He then picks up Gohan and says.
Basil: "You know, I have a bit of a soft spot for kids. If you tell me that you give up, I promise to let you live."
Gohan did not say a word and Basil becomes increasingly frustrated with the boy and proceeds to say.
Basil: "Grrrr, stupid brat!"
He then throws Gohan through the air. He flies across the landscape and comes to a stop when he crashes into a mountain. Basil then uses his signature attack, The Energy Bomb. He starts by charging up all of his energy, then a large, glowing green ball of energy forms in the palm of his hand. The ball of energy was a emitting a green flaming aura. Once the attack was fully charged, Basil unleashes it on an unsuspecting Gohan.
Basil: "It's over! ENERGY BOMB!
Basil chucks the energy bomb at Gohan. A massive explosion erupts on impact. The sky lights up with a flashing green light, gusts of wind roar throughout the land, and Basil laughs as he watches the huge explosion. Soon, everything returns to normal and all that is left is large mushroom cloud where the mountain was. A wounded Krillin, watching the horrific scene, tries to get up, but his efforts are all in vain.
Krillin: "No, G-Gohan!"
Basil: "What a dumb kid, Hey Gin! What are we gonna do now?"
Gin: "Well, know doubt we're gonna have to change plans since our target, Goku, is dead. For now, we will meet up with the others, tell the Boss what we learned, and come up with a new plan."
Basil: "Before we go, you don't mind if I kill these worthless pieces of trash do you?"
Gin: "Hmph, you're always such a gluttonous one, even when it comes to fighting."
Then, to the Assassin's surprise, Gohan gets up out of the crater where the blast had took place. He slowly walks towards the Assassins. His clothes are torn, his face is dripping with blood, and sweat and confronts his enemies despite the odds being heavily stacked against him. The Assassins become irritated by this child.
Basil: "What's with this kid?!"
Gohan: "We're not done yet! I-I'm still fighting!"
Basil,in a fit of anger, charges at Gohan and delivers devastating attacks at the defenseless Gohan. He then tackles the child and Gohan falls to the ground.
Basil: "What a worthless kid. This time you better stay down if you know what's good for you!"
Basil turns around and walks away, clearly victorious. Basil laughs to himself as he mocks how weak all the Z warriors are. He stops in his tracks; however, and senses that his fight is not over. He turns around and sees Gohan standing up and ready to continue the fight. At this point, Basil is absolutely livid by the child's unwavering will to fight. He continues to mercilessly beat Gohan to a pulp. But every time he does, Gohan manages to get up and face him. This happens a few more times until the angered Basil says.
Basil: "What is this kid?! Why won't you give up? It's clear you don't have the energy to fight."
Gohan: "I have to keep fighting. If I don't stop you guys, you'll destroy everything and everyone. The same way you destroyed that city with all those innocent people back on the island! I have to keep fighting, NO MATTER WHAT!"
Just then, an incredible surge of power came before Gohan. This surge of power was so great that a big gust of wind had erupted, blowing back dust and small rocks. Gohan's power level begins rise at a substancial rate. Naturally, this comes as a big shock to the Assassins. In that moment, Gin begins to analyze Gohans power in order to figure out what is happening. He then finds a shocking discovery.
Gin: "This can't be! Such intense power!"
Basil: "What the hell is going on?! Where is this power coming from?!"
Gin: "What? It can't be! Basil, be careful! my scanners indicate that this child is a Saiyan! How is this possible? One minute he's on the brink of death and now, his power is almost the same level as Basil's!"
Basil: "A Saiyan, huh? This outta be interesting. You better give me all you got, kid!"
Gohan: "Then I won't disappoint you!"
Both fighters come charging in at one another and then. . . Crash! The two warriors collide with such force that the crashing noise echoes throughout the land. The two warriors exchange fast punches, not bothering to block any of them. Gohan kicks Basil in the stomach, which causes him to reel back in pain. This was the first time an attack actually did some damange to the great lizard. Basil reacts by elbowing him in the face. Gohan flies back, but makes a quick comeback by charging head first at Basil. The fighting continues as they fly through the air, punching and kicking each other relentlessly. Gohan soon manages to get the upperhand. He thows a heavy punch to Basil's face. Then, Gohan knocks him to the ground. Basil crashes to the Earth and creates a small crater. Gohan begins to charge all the remaining energy into one final attack. Basil manages to pick himself up off the ground.
Basil: "Damn brat! What the!" -he looks up and sees Gohan charging up.
Gohan: "Take this!"
Gohan fires his massive energy beam at Basil. The blast makes its way towards him in which he replies:
Basil: "Don't make me laugh!"
Basil manages to grab hold of the beam. Soon, a struggle ensues between the fighters. Basil tries to send the attack back, while Gohan desperately tries to finish the attack. Basil is able to stand up and lift the beam over his head. While this is happening, Gin is off to the side, scanning Gohan's power. He sees that Gohan's power has deminished greatly.
Gin: "Hmph, looks like all that power is gone now. It's about time Basil finishes this."
After struggling for several minutes, Gohan loses all momentum in his attack and Basil manages to send it flying back to him. The attack hits and Gohan then falls back down to Earth, having suffered a devastating blow from his own attack. This time, Gohan is unable to continue. He struggles to get up but is unable to do so. Basil walks over to him, laughing at the child's attempt to defeat him.
Basil: "Aww, what's the matter kid? Where did all that power go?
Gohan: "I-I have to do something. I can't give up!"
Basil: "Well, it's been fun. But don't feel to bad, out of all the fighters here, you're the only one who gave me a real run for my money and I thank you for that. NOW DIE!"
Right before Basil delivers the final blow, He is suddenly blindsided by a kick to the face which sends him flying. A new fighter had entered the battle. Gin is shocked to see who it is. Gohan looks up, and to his suprise, sees a familiar face.
Gohan: "Vegeta!"
Vegeta: "Hmph! You're all so pathetic. You better let me handle this for now!"
