-1A/N: Now things begin to take shape. Enjoy!
Chitai cursed his stupidity. He was more than a little angry. Things had gone way out of hand. He shouldn't have listened to her promises. He should have realized that a demon from hell could not be trusted. Now, he was condemned to hell. He was going to die. Even a heroic sacrifice would be insufficient. In his greed, he sacrificed his soul. He remembered being a decent person. Now, condemned as he was, he was cursed to be recycled. He hoped that, in another life, he wouldn't be stupid enough to get himself condemned.
"Well…" He said. "This life is wasted." he looked resolutely at his damnation. "Gohan, give her hell." He said. He began to charge his ki. "HEY!" He roared. "Your first foe shall be me!"
"Oh?" She said, turning. "How cute, you think to resist me. Come on then, Chitai, let's have ourselves a little fun." She smiled wickedly.
Chitai charged full speed. His assault was powerful, and his attacks, swift. Still, as strong as he was, she was still more powerful. As quick as he was, she was swifter. He tried, but she still overwhelmed him. She kicked him away.
"You…" Chitai said, preparing for a charge. Suddenly, he was bathed in a crimson light.
Gohan's jaw dropped. Chitai was gone, destroyed. Only dust remained of his body. He watched the dust fly off into the wind.
"That was a little fun, don't you think so?" She asked. "He never even knew my name. It is Kinoko." She said.
"Well, then, how about we fight." Gohan said.
"Nah." Kinoko said. "I say you fight some of my minions, first." She giggled, again.
A dozen demons sped forth. Gohan, Trunks, Subutar, and Shousaku got ready.
"I'll take the strongest three." Gohan said, picking them out in his mind. "Trunks, you take the next set of three. Subutar, the next set. Shousaku, you take the weakest trio."
Gohan's three opponents were a trio of the ugliest things that he'd ever seen. Gohan launched forward. He punched two of them in the head, and kicked the strongest one in the stomach. They flew off, and slammed into a nearby mountain.
Shousaku flew up, and grabbed one of his trio out of the air. Holding it tightly by its neck, he slammed the monster into the ground, and began to drag it along, plowing up rocks and debris. He lifted into the air, and let it fall out of his grasp. Just as he let it go, he reached up, and slammed his foot in its side. It took off, slamming hard into one of his other foes.
Before the third one could react, he was right next to it. He slammed the demon in the head, sending it hurtling out of the sky, and into the water below. He crossed his arms, waiting patiently for his foes to regain their bearings.
The trio of demons recovered and charged. They got within inches of him. One of them tried to elbow him in the head. Another sought to kick his legs, the third one tried to punch him in the chest. Without even uncrossing his arms, he vanished. The elbower accidentally killed the chest-puncher when he snapped his neck. The leg kicker accidentally broke the elbower's back when his foot slammed into the elbower's side.
Shousaku reappeared. His arm was outstretched, his hand opened. He only saw the surprise of his foe, seconds before vaporizing it. Shousaku crossed his arms again. "Who's next?" He asked.
Gohan's trio came back, flying angrily towards him. The three of them threw punch after punch, desperately trying to hit him. He merely dodged this way and that, casually avoiding their attempts.
Eventually, one of them kicked him in the side of the head. His head didn't move. He held his hand up, and vaporized the attacking demon.
The remaining six began to encircle Trunks and Subutar. Each warrior drew his sword, and the two of them stayed on the defensive, waiting out their foes' patience.
One of Gohan's enemies attacked. It sent a flurry of attacks at Gohan. Gohan merely dodged them all.
Meanwhile, Gohan's other enemy was preparing a ki blast. Suddenly, he shot the beam at Gohan's back.
A cloud of dust appeared, and the demon smiled wickedly. When the dust cleared, however, he was no longer happy. Gohan was there, but the demon was not. It had killed its own ally. Gohan held his hand up, and blasted the demon into oblivion.
The demons were flying fast, circling Trunks and Subutar, keeping them in. Slowly, the circle began to tighten.
Subutar noticed a barely perceptible twitch, before Trunks disappeared. He was almost disappointed; Trunks had this one in hand.
Trunks reappeared, cutting one of the demons in half at the waist, and then vanished. He reappeared again, and beheaded another demon, vanishing again. He suddenly appeared, cutting another in half lengthwise, but was gone again. Another demon didn't even see him, his legs were removed instantly. He reappeared behind one, thrusting his sword through it's back. He turned around, and cut the last one in half, right through its abdomen. Trunks fell back, surveying his handiwork.
Subutar was amazed. The six demons were slain so quickly, that their pieces were still circling them. Trunks replaced his sword. As if on cue, the floating demon pieces exploded, precisely as Trunks' sword clicked into place.
A new trio attacked Shousaku, and he readied himself.
Three more demons came at Gohan, who was already prepared.
Trunks had to re-draw his sword as half a dozen demons charged at Subutar and him.
Not giving them time to attack him, Gohan annihilated the trio. "Hey, Kinoko!" Gohan shouted. "What say you 'dirty your hands', and fight me." he said.
"No use, saiyan. I am already far stronger than you." She said.
"You are mistaken." Gohan said. "I have not shown you the full power of a saiyan!" He yelled.
"Full power?" She asked. "How much could you have?" She didn't appear to be afraid.
"You don't know, how much power a saiyan can possess!" he said, his ki rising. "I showed you super saiyan, and now you see super saiyan two." His power continued to increase. "This is the power, of super saiyan three!" he shouted.
The whole planet shook. Even the demons stopped, to watch Gohan's transformation. Trunks' jaw dropped. Gohan hadn't given any indication of his max power.
Gohan's hair grew, this time down to his knees. His eyebrows disappeared. The whole planet was one big thunderstorm. His eyes shifted, revealing black irises in the center.
"I'm not impressed." Kinoko said. "Are you ready?" She asked.
"Of course." Gohan said, coming at her full speed. Kinoko had inadequate time to react. He slammed his fist in her face, knocking her away. She recovered in mid air, and charged back. She attacked with a flurry of punches and kicks, all of which were blocked by Gohan. Gohan countered, pushing himself further.
Eventually, Gohan broke through her defense, and managed to knock her away. She recovered in mid-air, and came back. She vanished in mid air. She reappeared, and kicked Gohan in the back, sending him away. He stopped himself in mid air, and came back.
She punched at him, but it was only an afterimage. A kick to the back of the head let her know where he was. The kick sent her head over head, flipping through the air.
Not giving her time to react, Gohan charged, and slammed her down. She hutled out of the sky, slamming into the rocky earth below. Gohan stayed in the air.
She suddenly appeared behind him, and kicked him in the back. He flew away, but she was already on top of him before he could stop himself. She kicked him in the head, sending him down. He skipped along the ground, before dropping into the ocean.
Gohan dragged himself out of the ocean. He flew into the air, coming at full speed. She fired a ki blast, but he had already disappeared. He reappeared behind her, and started to attack. She dodged everything he had, and casually knocked him away. He flew away, and dropped to the ground.
Something was wrong. He wasn't as strong as he was before. His ki was depleting, steadily. At this point, he was barely holding onto super saiyan three. He reached into his pocket, and pulled out a senzu. Eating it quickly, he restored his body, and his ki. Again at full power, he flew up to meet her.
"Healing?" She said. "That's unfair." She said.
"So is using an army." Gohan said.
"Touché." She said, and attacked. Gohan was able to keep up again. He was fully restored, but she wasn't much weaker. He didn't have enough senzu to bring this fight to an end. Still, he continued, hoping to find a weakness.
Subutar and Trunks were working their way through the demons. Subutar sliced through one, Trunks divided another in two, Subutar beheaded another. The two of them continued to cut through the opposition like whirlwind of blades. Soon, a full fifty demons fell at their twin swords.
Shousaku glared, real anger in his mind. Two dozen demons were standing before him, not letting him away. Shousaku set himself, and charged. He barreled straight through a demon, and turned around. The remaining twenty three warriors were still facing the other way. Twenty three ki blasts later, and he was done.
Kinoko stood up. Gohan had just slammed her into the ground. "You're not bad, Gohan." She said. "I'm so sorry!" She said, suddenly laughing. "I forgot to tell you why I'm here, and what I'm doing. Give me a second." She said.
Gohan's jaw dropped. Now she was going to tell him her reasons? "Okay, who are you, and why are you doing this?" He asked, more than a little annoyed.
"We're not really demons." She said. "You see, many, many years ago, I was a sorceress. I raised an army of hundreds of beings throughout the universe, and sought to destroy the kaioshin, the supreme rulers of the universe, and conquer all of existence. Well, I almost succeeded. Unfortunately, the kaioshin gathered enough power, and sealed my whole army in hell. In a rage, I sealed one of them in a magic sword. Which was very stupid of me, because a warrior came around, used the weapon against me, and did some serious damage to me! Well, they sealed me up. You see, when you went back in time, you disrupted the flow of time, and thusly, I was freed."
Gohan charged at Kinoko. She merely laughed, and prepared herself for the battle to save the universe…
