Hello guys! It's been a long month since last time, and I'm really sorry for this absence, but I just came back from my long holidays, so I couldn't write or post until today. You can throw rocks at me if you want, I don't mind.
For those who thought that I had stopped my fic, I won't, so keep reviewing, thought I'd like you to review a bit more (that would make me happy!)
Disclaimer:… You know it by heart now.

It's simply brilliant, but go to see it for yourself!
Chapter 11: Let the beast hit the floor…
Gohan hardly stood up, completely lost. His father, who was supposed to be dead, was standing before his eyes, as for his dead family. Videl landed beside him and held him tight inside of her arms. She began crying on his shoulder.
"Oh, Gohan! I thought you were dead, you weren't moving…" She then placed a hand on her belt, extracting a senzu bean from it.
"Here!" she said, wiping her tears. "It's unfair if only they can heal at will."
Gohan paused and stared at her right in the eyes. He took the bean and ate it. His body pulsed with the newly fulfilled energy he had, and he felt stronger, due to his saiyan ability to become stronger after each fight.
"Thanks." he said. Then he bent a little to kiss Videl on the cheek. She blushed, and turned around to face him, but he was already standing next to his family.
"Hey son, how nice of you to join us! We will need your help." Goku said.
"I know." the teen replied, turning into a super saiyan. "Let's go."
They all jumped in the melee. Four angry super saiyans versus 13 almost immortal raydans. Gohan fought with a demonic anger, darkest than ever, unleashing even the smallest drop of sorrow he accumulated in the past years. He didn't know what this feeling was.
Fear? No more.
Adrenaline? Part of it could be.
Content? Happiness? Not really.
Desire to win? That's more like it.
Though they always stood up, he sent his enemies faster to the dirt. But what surprised him was his father. He toyed with his opponents like they were little kids playing around him. Every single hit was deadly precise and awfully powerful.
*He's fighting to kill, but he's trying to avoid it…* Gohan thought. He then realized that Radditz and Bardock fought the same way.
*How did Radditz become so powerful?*
Videl was dispatching her senzu to all of the fighters. When she arrived next to Gine, she saw that the saiyan woman was crying, a large smile on her face.
"I'm actually seing my husband, my sons and my grandson fighting together… I dreamt of this moment all of my life. But how can this be? Is it magic? Sorcery?"
"I also don't know…" Videl answered, while healing the woman with a senzu bean.
They watched the fight with the others, not joining the fighters.
At the same time at CC:
Bulma was working on a laptop, while watching the fight with the cameras she implanted in the landscapes. A strange alarm sound caught her attention. With a swift turning of wrist, she hid the camera display system, and selected the icon on the desk that was red: the space map icon.
*Oh no. This can't be…*
She opened the map. Nothing abnormal around the planet. *This was maybe a meteor…* she thought. She almost closed the program, but the second she did, a huge vessel-like figure entered the area. She fell on her knees. *Reinforcements…*
But she didn't panic.
"I must warn the others. Let's hurry!" she said, more to convince herself than to talk. She ran out and jumped into her jet copter, then took off, towards the fight.
In the desert, the fight was raging. The dark sky was filled by bright colors, caused by the ki blasts exploding on their targets.
The 9 non-fighting warriors were still recovering, hidden behind rocks to ensure a little protection from blasts or energy waves. Videl watched, and prayed in silence, hardly following his friend's moves, but still perceiving them. *That must be the ki training! I can't see him, but I can still feel him*
In a flash, the four fighters were standing on the ground, not breaking a sweat, but still panting a bit.
"This fight is never ending. I'm feeling bored, father." Gohan announced.
"How long have you been fighting, kid?" Bardock said.
"For an hour or so… grandpa." Gohan answered, quite unaccustomed to the honorifics.
They didn't share a word after that, but all fell in a Kamehameha stance and begun charging.
"Now, this is a real Family Super Kamehameha!" Goku shouted. They shot their waves of ki all at once, illuminating the place with a warm light. They aimed at the king, who stopped smiling. His men stepped forward to shield him, but he protested.
"No! I won't be able to…"
He didn't finish his sentence. It was too late, the whole group got hit by the terrible blast.
Gohan, Goku, Radditz and Bardock stood proudly in front of the impact zone. Through the remaining steam, they could see all the raydans, lying down, seriously wounded. Good point: none was healing.
"It seems that you are out of juice."
The raydan king's face was bleeding a lot, all the right side was burned. Suffering, he said:
"You won this one, but 'cough' the others are coming! You lost!"
"What others? You promised…" Vegeta begun, joining his comrades.
Then they all turned their heads up, to witness the slow descent of a yellow jetcopter. Bulma got out of it and ran towards them, shouting.
"Reinforcements! They are coming!"
At the same time, in the sky, the dark clouds tore open as a gigantic ship got through. It stopped above them. Only seconds after he stopped, they could see a huge number of warriors flying right in their direction.
"They are stronger than us…"
The saiyans turned their heads to face the king who just spoke.
"Each time I healed my men, I healed my whole army, not only those who were fighting… And when you heal someone that is already at his full potential…"
"You make him stronger…" Gohan ended. "Shit."
Soon, they were surrounded by a mass of warriors, already in their ultra state. They had to count on their superior speed to win, but they were diving in a mass of warriors, strongest than simple super saiyans. Gohan was fighting back with all his might, but suddenly felt an intense pain, coming from his stomach. Two raydans had connected their fists in his stomach from under him. Gritting his teeth, he kicked them in the jaw, but lost track of the others, and fell under a cascade of hits, as hundreds of enemies were rushing on him.
Goku had a hard time to believe it. *Those aliens are strong! I'm excited!* he thought, grinning, but his smile disappeared after he took a nice blow on the face.
Bardock and Radditz fought together, back to back. They got near Goku, getting him up, and looked for Gohan, through the enemies' army.
The wind was blowing strongly, the storm was gaining power, as lightning bolts hit the ground, sometimes even striking a raydan.
The three saiyans finally found the teen. Gohan was lying, unconscious, on the ground, as enemies were standing proudly on him.
"Gohan! Wake up, son!" Goku shouted, more to be sure that he was still alive than to give him an order.
Indeed, the teen was grunting. He closed his hands into furious fists, cutting his own flesh with his nails.
*I don't want to use it. What if I lose control? What if… I kill every one?...* He brutally hit the ground with his fists, forcing the raydans that were standing on him to take distance.
"I… I will…" he begun.
*…but I have no choice… I must do it, for the Earth's sake, for my father's… my family's… and Videl's sake… Please forgive me!*
"I'll protect every one!"
He got hit by a lightning bolt. But it was different. The bolt was yellow, and didn't harm him, it was more like it woke him up, filling his energy. The wall that stood in front of his power vanished, and released the real beast that was sleeping until now.
A great shout tore through the silence as Gohan's anger oozed out from him. His hair started to grow, to end at the bottom of his back, as his eyebrows disappeared, replaced by strong muscles, forcing his face into a constant angry expression.
"Now the real fight begins!" he yelled as he charged, alone, into a thousand soldiers army.
Here it is. Short, but I wrote it in one small day… So be ready for the next ones. Also, a little one shot will be coming out soon…
To the reviewers that asked for it… I intended to make Gohan ssj3 before I started the fic, but anyway, you had what you wanted! Hope you like it…
Oh, and the title of the chap is inspired from the song Bodies, from Drowning Pool. I saw a few Broly AMV's with this song, so why not with Gohan?
Well, 'til next time, see ya later!
