Episode 29: Showdown Begins! – The Greatest Warriors Duel! – Son Gohan vs. Colonel Rild!
July 14th, Age 787

"All right, Rild. It appears you're gonna force me to fight you by hurting my friends... Now I'm forced to kill you. Ahhhhh!"

"Hmph-hmph. it seems he's a tad bit stronger than I expected."

"Ahh!" Gohan finished with a medium pitched yell as he finished his power up.

- "Ahh!"
- "Ahh!"

Gohan and Rild blitzed each other, throwing ki-charged punches at each other.

**booom!** their fists collided, causing a giant force of energy to shine off contact.

Gohan motioned a 360 spin kick, connecting with Rild's head, slightly pushing him back.

Rild quickly recovered, stumbling from the kick; he dashed back at Gohan.

Rild threw another powerful punch at Gohan.

Gohan ducked the punch, countering with an uppercut against Rild's chin-Rild's head went back, as a result.

Rild answered with a head-punch, budging Gohan across the sky.

Rild rushed Gohan, tossing a 90 degree-angled kick at Gohan's body.

Gohan blocked the kick, giving Rild a serious stare, teeth gritting.

In a flash, Rild's eyes lit, with strange, green patterns of foreign numbers scattering.

"Gill." Gill ran over to Vegeta and Trunks's metal slabs.

Gill semi-ejected a dematerialization device, sucking up the slabs. Gill dropped a portable transportation device, dematerializing itself for teleportation.

"Gill!" Gohan yelled, throwing his attention over to fading robot.

"You should be worried about yourself!"

Rild elbowed Gohan in the cheek.

**Vsh** Gohan vanished taking a swift recovery, disappearing out of his former spot.

Gohan appeared behind Rild, throwing a flying upper-kick, connecting with Rild's neck.

Rild went a good distance, eyes squinted.

**Vsh** Gohan appeared behind Rild, hitting him in the face with a ki-charged punch, connecting.

Gohan's next move was painful gut punches-Rild tensioned his face, as a consequence.

Rild had enough, firing a point-blank Metal Beam-Gohan canceled his hammer-fists barrage.

**Vsh** Gohan vanished from his former spot.

**Vsh** Rilld vanished as well.

**Boom!-Boom!-Boom!** Gohan and Rild exchanged two punch collisions, finishing with a single kick collision.

**Vsh** Gohan vanished once more, appearing in Rild's face.

"You can't keep up with my speed!" Gohan yelled, kicking Rild's head.

The attack sent smashing into a street, in a nearby M2 city.

Gohan threw both hands together, in V-formation, firing a yellow beam at an downward angle into Rilld's direction.

Rild quickly stood up—jumping out the way of the "Demon Flash."

Gohan landed, a quarter-mile from Rild.

An aura formed around Rild. "Hmph," Rild snarled, dashing.

Gohan dropped into his combat stance, waiting on the incoming attack.

Once Rild reached half-way, he fired a sudden "Rocket Punch."

Gohan's face lit from astonishment. "Huh?"

The Rocket Punch hit Gohan, repelling him backwards.

Still running, Rild fired his other hand-an open "Rocket Hand," which grabbed Gohan's face, circling him in roller-coaster-like directions around the city, smashing him into a large M2 building, pinning him.

By this time, Rild caught his other hand with the tip of his forearm, attaching it.

Rild appeared in front of Gohan, gliding forward with his forearm out, to attach his other "loose" hand, which pinned Gohan to the building.

"Mu-ha-ha!" How do you like that? Rild drew his arm for another punch.

"Arghhh!" Gohan screamed, firing dispersing ki blasts into Rild's stomach.

"Erggg!" Rilld shrieked, in pain.

Gohan quickly canceled his spamming ki blasts, cupping his hands in "turtle" form. "Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled, firing his Kamehameha Wave into Rilds forefront.

**PaKoooosh!** the Kamehameha sent Rild pinball-smashing into two buildings...then skidding across a street.

Gohan flew over, hovering over the same street.

Gohan landed on the street.

From the attack, Rild suffered a body full of damage.

"Heh. You know, Rild, I have to say you're an assuredly skillful opponent. I would like to see my dad fight you."

Rild opened both eyes. "Is that so? Mu-ha-ha! Indeed, I'm a truly skillful warrior, but you haven't even seen the peak of my true power or skills just yet."

"Errggghhh!" Rilld grunted, clenching his fists.

The ground formed white-liquid metal spread all over.
The entire planet of Machin Tetsu was covered in white liquid metal - Rild's own powers he released from his body.

Over in the battle site, pieces of the Sigma Force regenerated, twirling in a liquid metal typhoon.

In liquid form, the cyclone headed across the area, splashing onto Rild.

**Pooosh!** Smoke passed, hiding Rild.

"Shogan Rilld!"

**GrrZzzzzzzz** sounded Rild's spinning drill, on one hand.

**Tssssss** went the sound of hissing smoke, which exhaled through the holes of Captain Crescent's armor.

"I am the Mightiest Warrior in the Universe!" Shogan Rild announced

Gohan's eyes grew wider. "No kidding!"

Rild sprouted wings from Crescent's armor.

**Tooost** a red mouth cover slid across Rild's mouth.

"Let the games begin!"
