Hey guys long time no see huh? Listen I know there are probably some of you who are really mad at me since I kinda disappeared and didn't post anything for almost a year and all I can really say is that I am sorry, life just kinda got busy with work and all the other things that I tried to take on, but regaurdless of all of that I am back and will try to post something at least once a month if not sooner. Really I don't even know how many people even have this fic alerted anymore more but for those that do you get an extra treat, since I have been gone for so long this chapter is my longest one yet. Hope you like it and don't forget to leave a review
Back with the spectators.
"Hey guys look, Goku just lost all of his long blond hair." Hinata said as she and everyone else noticed Goku powered down.
"Hey you're right and Vegeta just powered down to, but why did he do that? Are they done?" Sakura asked giving a questioning look to Gohan.
"I doubt it. They should still have plenty of power left to keep going. And on top of that they haven't even powered up to level four yet. I have no idea what they are doing." He said with a shrug
"Well maybe they are taking a break. All that flying around must make them tired." Naruto said.
"Don't be stupid blondy. Vegeta sensei can fight for days at level three, he doesn't need to take a break." Tahki shot back, instantly getting a very ugly glare from Naruto.
"But didn't you say you have never seen him transform above level one. If that's true how do you know how long he can stay at level 3?" Nola asked with another smug smile on her face.
"Yeah…well…..GRRAAHH…I'm just sure he can ok!" the red head yelled back.
"Tahki!" Vegeta's voice seemed to call from inside Tahki's head, instantly getting her attention. She then closed her eyes and focused on Vegeta's voice.
"Yes what is it?" She thought in her head.
"I want you and Nola to put on your blutz wave visors right now" he ordered.
"But why? What are you going to do?" she asked a bit confused.
"Grrr…just do it!" he roared causing the red head to flinch. She then opened her eyes to see everyone looking at her. "What?"
"Are you ok? You all the sudden just shut your eyes and then started flinching?" Sakura pointed out.
"Relax pinky I was just talking with sensei that's all." Tahki said.
"But how, your lips weren't moving" Naruto said still confused.
"It's called telepathy Einstein" she told him rolling her eyes. "Anyway, Nola Vegeta says that we have to put on out blutz wave visors right now."
"What…the visors, but why? The only reason that we ever need to use those is to…" she began to say before the reality of what the two super warriors were really planning to do sunk in.
"What? What are they doing?" Kakashi asked after seeing the somewhat shocked expression on the blue haired saiayns face. But before she could answer him they all saw Vegeta charge a very bright energy ball in his left hand.
"There's no time to explain Tahki hurry up and put them on!" Nola said urgently as she and her shorter counterpart put on a pair of red lensed visors. A few seconds later Vegeta hurled the ball into the sky and let it sail. Once it was high enough he quickly closed his hand into a fist, causing the ball to explode. But unlike other energy blasts that the saiyans had faired up till now, this one seemed to glow in the sky sending rays of bright white light in every direction.
"What the heck? Are they trying to blind each other?" Shikamaru asked as he shielded his eyes from the light.
"No far from it. They are inducing the Oozaru transformation" Gohan said.
"Oozaru?" they all thought at the same time while remembering what Goku had told them earlier that day.
Flashback.
"Another way that Humans and Saiyans differ is really kind of easy to find if you look, sayains have tails." Goku said as he uncoiled his brown tail from around his waist letting it wiggle freely.
"What? I thought that it was just a furry belt" Ino screamed in her head.
"Well didn't see that coming" thought Skikamaru.
"So does that mean you are part monkey or something?" Naruto asked.
"Actually in a way I guess it does." Goku chuckled "You see sayains have an ability to transform into giant apes during a full moon. However, for most sayains transforming into the great ape or Oozuro state causes them to lose control of themselves and go into a very primal state of mind. And while in that state a transformed sayain will usually end up attacking anything that moves." Goku explained.
"So…have you ever transformed?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Well…I have a few times I guess but like I said most of the time the transformation causes the individual to lose control of themselves and usually they don't remember the event at all. To be honest I can't remember ever doing it, but people have told me that I have at least a few times" he said.
End of Flashback
"Hang on, they are trying to transform into uncontrollable apes?" Shikamaru asked finally realizing what they were doing.
"Looks like it, even though I am not sure why they are doing it. Technically they only had to do it the first time." Gohan said seemingly loosing himself in thought.
"What do you mean the first time?" Kakashi asked.
"Well to transform into a super saiyan four you must fulfill two criteria. First you have to be a full blooded saiyan, so technically the newer capped saiyans or half saiyans like me wouldn't be able to ascend to this level. The other condition is you have to be able to keep conscious control of yourself in the golden Oozaru state. But after you complete the transformation the first time, you are able to transform into super saiyan four anytime you want so really transforming into the golden ape first is just an unnecessary step." Gohan explained.
"Ha you're just over thinking things Gohan." Piccolo said with a chuckle. "Those two aren't doing this because they have to; they are doing it to show off."
"So they are going to transform into crazy monkeys just because they think its fun?" Ino asked in disbelief.
"No trust me transforming into the giant ape state is anything but fun. Unless you like the feeling of popping out of your own skin and losing all conscious thought that is." Gohan told her.
"Um…guys" Hinata said quietly but still load enough to get everyone's attention. "I think something is wrong with them." They all quickly shifted their gazes back to the two saiyans and quickly noticed that in the span of a few minutes they had both moved a good half a mile away from each other and were both now standing on two high cliffs. That wasn't the only thing that the spectators noticed however. The two saiyans were looking directly at the brightly shinning ball high above them with a blank stared expression on both of their faces. Along with that it seemed that their bodies were spasming randomly. Visibly contracting and relaxing, almost as if they had lost control of their own muscles. Then all off the sudden their eyes turned blood red as they began to growl. Their fist quickly clenched and their teeth began to sharpen. They both then hunched over and let out a blood curtailing roar as their power exploded violently outwards sending chunks of rocks and debris flying everywhere. They then quickly lurched backwards as even more power began to fly out of their bodies, causing two huge columns of light to envelope them and shoot up into the sky. Lightning began to dance around them as the ground started to shake. And a few seconds later the ground underneath the two saiyans exploded sending a massive amount of rocks skywards. Then huge columns of the planet's surface began to distort and shoot upwards causing new mountains and cliffs to form all around them. Suddenly, without any warning an awesome yellow light burst from where the two saiyans were and two huge golden apes suddenly grew into existence.
"Holy crap…what the heck are those things?" Naruto yelled as the two apes continued to grow in size and roar menacingly.
"That's the saiyan ape that we were talking about earlier." Gohan told them in a matter of fact tone.
"Those things are huge!" Lee said in awe at the sheer size of the two beasts.
"Yep and they still aren't done growing yet." Nola commented getting a wide eyed look from everyone. A few moments later the ground exploded again as the two giant beasts let out one final roar as they finished their transformation. The Konoha ninja were in complete awe at what they were seeing. Goku and Vegeta had seemed like normal people when they had first met them, albeit a bit odd and far stronger than any of them but more or less normal, but now they didn't know what to think. A good two miles in front of them stood a sight that none of them would soon forget, two huge red eyed beasts that were easily bigger than even the boss toad Gababunta, were roaring like mad and pounding their chests at each other, almost like two guerillas fighting for dominance. Their golden fur was shinning in the sunlight as sparks crackled and popped randomly around their massive bodies.
"Holy cow those things are even bigger than the fox is" Naruto thought to himself as he watched in wide eyed amazement.
"So…that's a-a…Oozaru?" Ino asked a clear hint of fear in her voice.
"Yes it is, now everyone stay alert depending on how much control those two have gained in that form we may have to move very fast." Piccolo said with a very serious expression on his face.
"Are you nuts? We've got to get out of here right now!" Naruto yelled a bit panicked.
"For once I agree with Naruto." Neji said, clearly just as shaken as everyone else. "Goku said that it while saiyans are in that state they are unable to control themselves. If that is true and they see us we won't stand a chance."
"And since when do you know so much about saiyans?" Nola asked as she removed her visor. "Not all saiyans turn into crazy raging beasts when they transform, only those that are very weak minded or untrained do. With the proper training it is very easy to keep control of your mental state in that form. However in the golden ape state the process of gaining mental stability is much harder due to the increased power. Technically any saiyan that can transform into a super saiyan can also transform into the golden ape state since really all it is, is going super saiyan in great ape form. But it is very taboo for any capped saiyan to attempt the transformation since almost no one in our entire history has ever been able to master that form, other than Kakarott and Vegeta of course." She explained.
"So then they are in complete control right now?" Kakashi asked looking at the giant golden apes again.
"It looks like it." Gohan said as he walked back in front of the group again. "Nola Tahki, I suggest getting behind me when they start powering up, the power unleashed when they ascend may even be too much for me to stand up against." he told as he summand a clear white aura around himself and took off high into the air.
"Hey where is he going?" Naruto asked as he watched the half saiyan ascend higher and higher into the air.
"He is preparing himself" Piccolo said in his usual deep voice.
"Preparing for what?" Hinata asked getting no replay from the cryptic Namek. Suddenly they heard someone yelling again. Everyone quickly turned their attention to the two giant apes but quickly realized that they weren't doing any yelling. Then all of the sudden the wind started to pick up again but this time it wasn't blasting them in the face, it was blowing almost straight down on them. They all quickly looked back up to where Gohan had gone and saw a bright white ball high above them that was slowly getting bigger.
"!" the half sayain yelled as his power began to spike. His own white aura began to whip around his body almost as if it were a wild flame dancing around him. The Konoha ninja braced themselves for what most of them thought was going to be another insane storm inducing transformation. However a few seconds later the wind stopped and the half saiyans yelling died down. Then in an instant Gohan appeared right in front of the group again, everyone's eyes immediately fell on the transformed half saiyan expecting to see some crazy new form like the other super saiyan transformations had but they were all surprised to find that even with his back to them he really didn't look any different. Other than some subtle changes like his hair being a little spikier and his muscles being a bit bigger he looked much the same as he did before he powered up. Everyone remained silent for a few moments all thinking their own thoughts about what had just happened, until a certain blond shinobi let he curiosity get the better of him and broke the silence.
"Uhh…hey Gohan what did you do?" he asked as he inched closer to the half blooded saiyan.
"It's alright Naruto" he said as he turned to face the curious ninja "I just had to power up to my full powered state to be able to create a shield strong enough to withstand Vegeta and my dad's next transformation."
"Really? You don't look all that different to me" Naruto said.
"Are you serious?" Tahki almost yelled as everyone turned to look at her. "Can't you idiots feel his power level? It's…insane" she said with a very shocked look on her face.
"What are you talking about? What power level?" Shikamaru asked and this time Nola responded.
"I-I don't know how but…Gohan is now at the same power level that Goku and Vegeta were at after they transformed to level three." She said sharing the same shocked expression as her shorter friend.
"But his hair didn't change like theirs did." Lee pointed out.
"It's a long story" Gohan interrupted turning his attention back to the two roaring apes in the distance. "But the short version is that I had all of my hidden power released with the help of elder Kai. What you see now is what most people call my mystic state in which my power rivals that of a super saiyan three." He said in a much more serious sounding voice. "Anyway I can explain that later, what you guys should really paying attention to is happening right there" he said pointing to the two huge apes. They all turned to see what was going on only to be shocked at the fact that both of them were now floating a good distance from the ground and were radiating a very bright golden aura that seemed to be whipping around their bodies like a flame.
"What's happening to them?" Neji asked.
"They are ascending into their final forms" Gohan responded. The two apes suddenly threw their arms back and let out one more very loud roar before being engulfed in a new even brighter white light. All of the ninja covered their eyes from the blinding light wondering what the two warriors could possibly be doing now. A few seconds later the light faded away and the loud roaring of the apes died off, the ninja opened their eyes and stared in wide eyed shock at the newly transformed warriors that floated above them. The two saiyans looked drastically different now, aside from the obvious increase in muscle mass. Goku's black hair was much longer and spikier then it was in his normal state, reaching all the way down to his mid back. Most of his upper body was now almost completely covered in crimson red fur, along with a much longer red tail twitching behind him. He was also wearing a pair of yellow paints with blue wrist bands and black shoes. Vegeta looked very similar to Goku but sported some very noticeable differences. His black hair still stood straight up and had a very prominent widow's peak but like Goku's was much wilder and longer. Deep crimson fur covered the majority of his upper body as well. And like the taller saiyan, the prince also made a wardrobe change. He was wearing dark blue tight paints with light blue gloves and boots.
"Whoa…" Naruto said.
"So that is their ultimate form huh?" Kakashi commented.
"Incredible" Sakura said mouth agape.
"T-this is unreal. Their power…it's crazy. I have never felt a power this high before." Nola said in a tone that sounded like a mix of shock, surprise and fear. Tahki weakly nodded in agreement with her mouth hanging open. Even Piccolo and Gohan had surprised looks on their faces at the sheer mass of energy that was radiating off of the two saiyans.
"Man I had almost forgotten" Gohan said looking at the two warriors. The two fighters hadn't moved an inch since their transformation and just seemed to be staring at each other. That is until Goku slowly turned his head to look at the group. It was in that moment that almost all of them began to get nervous. Goku's eyes had changed from their usually playful kind look to a much sharper dangerous gaze, one of a seasoned and experienced fighter. Gohan quickly blinked once he saw his father looking at them and immediately knew what he was waiting for.
"Everyone get behind me!" Gohan yelled popping everyone out of their own thoughts. Everyone quickly complied and Gohan started preparing his new, stronger defense. He quickly powered up again causing a bright white aura to surround his body before extending both of his arms outwards.
"!" He yelled as a transparent bubble once again began to surround the group. As the half saiyan continued to yell the shield began to get thicker, almost to the point that it began to look solid. A few moments later, Gohan stopped yelling and slowly brought his hands back to his side, opened his eyes and looked at the energy sphere around them. After a moment to make sure everything was the way he wanted it the orange clad half saiyan extended his right arm in front of himself, so that his open hand stopped mere inches away from his energy sphere. Gohan then closed his eyes and began to focus on something. For awhile nothing happened but nobody dared to say a word. Then out of nowhere a loud crack was hear from the groups left. They all quickly looked to see that a large line now extended from the ground all the way to the top of the sphere. Then another crack to the right and a similar formation appeared then another and another. Soon the entire bubble seemed to be cracking under some invisible force as numerous lines seemed to shoot up from everywhere. The noise was defining and as more and more cracking began to sound off, more of the occupants of the bubble began putting their hands on their ears to dampen the sound. A few seconds later the cracking began to die down and everyone let their hands drop from their heads to see an almost breathtaking sight. The shield that they were standing in had changed from the once smooth surfaced bubble to a crystalline one. The sphere now appeared to be made of many interlocking hexagonal crystals, almost like a clear igloo.
"Whoa…what is this?" Sakura asked as she put her hand on the now solid energy shield. But as soon as she asked that Gohan fell to his knees panting very hard.
"Hey Gohan are you ok?" Naruto asked as he went to the half saiyans side.
"Yeah…I'll be ok…just give me a second." he said as he continued to catch his breath. After a few seconds of heavy panting the supercharged half saiyan finally stood back up and relaxed a bit. "Sorry about that guys but I had to put almost half of my energy into the technique to make this shield sturdy enough to hold off super saiyan 4 power." He explained.
"But what is it made of? It looks like some kind of crystal but I have never heard of any technique that uses ki to create crystals." Nola said tapping on the glass like wall.
"It's a technique I learned while helping out some people on planet Varluslia a while back. The planet is actually one giant block of ice and the people their use techniques like this to shield themselves from the bitter cold. And as to what this shield is made out of it is actually crystallized ki. The only thing is that the shield is only as strong as the amount of energy you put into it, so to make it strong enough to shield us from Vegeta and my dad powering up I had to put over half of my total energy supply into it, which as you could imagine can take it out of you pretty quick." He said.
"So what happens now?" Hinata asked returning her gaze to the super powered duo in the sky.
"Well now that they know we are at least somewhat safe I would assume they are going to start any time now." Gohan told her.
Back in the sky
Goku smiled as he watched his son's new crystal barrier form around him and his new students. Even though he himself didn't know the technique, he had been to the planet were Gohan had learned it several times before and knew that it would hold up. So with his concerns of the fights spectators relieved he turned and grinned at his long time rival. Goku simply sent the saiyan prince a small nod signaling to him that he was ready. Vegeta also nodded silently saying the same thing. The two saiyans then began summoning their energy again. Slowly yellow streaks of energy began to radiate off of their bodies, once again resembling yellow flames licking around them. Then suddenly they began to draw out an unbelievable about of energy.
"!"
"!"
The two warriors yelled as an intense yellow light began illuminating from their bodies. The ground quickly began to shake again but unlike the previous times it seemed as though the entire planet was shaking. The sky also changed, it quickly lost its bluish green tint and almost went totally black, as if some great storm was rolling in. Then a rapid serious of pulses of energy began to shoot outwards from the two fighters causing a rapid succession of shockwaves to rip the ground and anything else that wasn't secure apart. Boulders the size of elephants we tosses around like they were pebbles, a few even crashing into Gohans energy barrier. But luckily for the spectators the shield held fast and blocked the monstrous debris. A few seconds later the pulses stopped and many of the spectators thought that they were done but the two saiyans continued yelling and the ground had not stopped shaking. Suddenly the two began to be engulfed in a bright yellow light right before their immense power exploded outwards. However this time the backlash of the explosion was easily ten times worse than anything they had done before. The wind began to blow even stronger than it had been and the ground began to shake even worse. Most of the Konoha ninja had to shield their eyes from the immense light that was coming off of the two saiyans as they continued to throw quantum amounts of energy in every direction. Slowly though everything began to settle down again, the wild winds began to subside, the shaking stopped and the sky returned to its previous state. They all opened there eyes once again to see that the land around them was almost unrecognizable. Almost every tall standing structure for at least a few miles had been blown away. The green grasses that had covered the ground looked like it had been sand blasted out and was replaces by a barren dirt covered field.
"Whoa…they did all of this just by powering up?" Ino asked as she continued to survey the newly destroyed area.
"Now you know why I had to erect this barrier. I don't even think me or Piccolo could have stayed standing after that." Gohan said. "But that isn't important right now, take a look up there" he said pointing to the two small figures still floating in the sky. They all followed his figure upwards to see an awesome sight. The two warriors were now completely powered up with a very recognizable golden aura flashing around them. After a few minutes of just sitting up in the sky they both descended back down to the ground a good 50 feet away from each other.
"What do you say we get started Vegeta" Goku called out as a gentle breeze blew over the barren battlefield.
"I couldn't agree more Kakarott." Vegeta called back. A few moments later they both moved their arms forward and blasted and golden energy beam at each other. The beams traveled the distance separating the two warriors in a matter of seconds and when they collided a huge twisting ball of yellow energy enveloped the entire area between them, only stopping mere inches away from the two saiyans that were still pumping more energy into their attack.
"HHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"RRRAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
They yelled as even more energy was put on both sides. But no matter what they did the two sides stay remarkably even. More dust and debris began to blow in every direction and the power struggle ragged on. The ground began to crack and giant slabs of rock began to shoot out form random points across the ground causing new mountains and plateaus to pop up. As the seconds ticked by, the churning yellow energy orb in the center of their blasts began to grow wider and wider until it bathed everything within a 10 mile radius of the battle in a bright yellow light before it exploded. As soon as the beam struggle had ended Goku and Vegeta disappeared and once again began to fight at ridiculously high speeds. The only thing that the spectators could make out was quickly moving blurs every now and then and the thunderous booming sound that they made whenever a strike landed. The two warriors continued to fight at their high speeds for a few moments longer before Vegeta attempted to land a powerful right hook into his rival's side. Goku saw this coming and quickly shot back a few feet to dodge the strike but Vegeta wasn't about to give the orange clad fighter a break, and quickly extended his right arm and fired a bright purple beam at Goku. Said saiyan managed to just barely duck underneath the blast and lurched forwards in an attempted to land a low strike on the prince's abdomen. But this time Vegeta managed to spin out of the way and put Goku in a tight head lock with is left arm and before the taller saiyan could struggle out of the lock, Vegeta put his right hand right in Goku's face and sent an invisible wall of energy flying at him. The force of the blast was strong enough to send Goku flying backwards a good distance before he ended up imbedded in a semi tall rock face. Vegeta wasted no time in catching up to his trapped rival and stopping a few feet away from him.
"What's the matter clown? That all the strength you have?" Vegeta mocked as Goku raised his head and glared at him. "I can't say I'm surprised though, you always were inferior to me."
"Ha you wish Vegeta" Goku shot back with a smirk.
"Hmpf confident to the end as usual." Vegeta said as he floated back a few feet and thrust his left arm out, finger tips up, creating a blue ball of energy in front of his palm.
"Big Bang Attack" he called out as the small blue orb quickly increased in size and launched out of his hand. Seeing the energy ball coming Goku quickly freed himself from the rock he was trapped in and used a burst of super speed to disappear with mere seconds to spare before Vegeta's attack hit, completely annihilating the rock face.
"What?" Vegeta asked when he saw that his point blank shot had missed. The saiyan prince quickly began to look around to see where his opponent had gone but couldn't find him anywhere.
"Hey Vegeta up here!" Goku's voice called out from above. Vegeta quickly turned and looked up to see Goku floating about 20 feet above him doing something that the saiyan prince had never seen him do before. Goku was floating with both hands over his head holding onto the end of a long yellow rod of energy. The rod was about 4 feet long, was no more than a few inches thick and was sparking wildly as the taller saiyan held it.
"What in the world…?" Vegeta asked himself clearly not recognizing the attack.
"Try this on for size Vegeta, Photon Wave!" Goku called out as he swung the light rod in a downward arc sending a huge golden energy wave rocketing at his shorter opponent. Vegeta held his left arm out in front of him, thinking he could simply swat the blast away but when his hand came in contact with the huge wave of energy he found that he couldn't. He struggled to push the mammoth blast back with his one arm but found that slowly the beam was pushing him back. In a last ditch effort not to be end up at the bottom of a crater, Vegeta bought his right hand close to his left so that his palms were close together and prepared an attack of his own.
"grRRRAAHH… Final Flash!" He called out as his own large beam blasted out of his hands and managed to split Goku's beam in half, sending both half's of the attack to the ground where they both exploded violently. He then used a burst of super speed to disappear and get to where Goku was still floating.
"Wow Vegeta I'm surprised, I thought I had you or sure that time. You're actually the first person that I have used that technique on who was able to get out of it." Goku said with a smirk on his face and the light rod still in his left hand.
"Well what did you expect, that I would be cut down that easily?" Vegeta shot back. "Anyway where did you learn that? I never figured you for a swordsman." He asked eyeing the energy rod.
"HA…no it's not a sword, it's a technique that I learned from the Grand Kai. It took me awhile to learn it because to even create this thing you have to have an incredible about of control and extreme skill be able to pump enough energy into it without it becoming unstable. I just wish he didn't make me wait 500 years to teach it to me. It would have come in handy against Majin Buu. Anyway I will tell you more about it later; I don't want to be giving you too much information about my new techniques before our fight is over." He said falling into a defensive stance with the rod still in the right hand.
"Well I guess I have to give you some credit, you aren't as stupid as you used to be." Vegeta shot back as he also fell into his own stance. "However…you seem to forget who you are dealing with!" He yelled as he thrust his right arm forward and launched a huge untamed blast of golden energy right at his rival. But right before the mammoth blast hit Goku raised his rod over his head and quickly sent another large photon wave flying. The photon wave managed to cut Vegeta's blast in half, causing two smaller beams to quickly fly by the spiky haired saiyan. Once the beam had been deflected Goku looked up and wasn't too surprised to find that his rival had used the blast as a diversion and had disappeared. Goku kept his sparking rod in front of himself in a defensive position as he tried to find his opponent but even with his advanced energy tracking skills the shorter saiyan was nowhere to be found.
"Alright Vegeta, where are you hiding?" Goku thought as he continued to stretch out his senses to locate Vegeta.
"What's wrong Kakkarott? Can't find me?" Vegeta's voice seemed to echo out of nowhere.
"What…?" Goku asked out loud as his eyes shot open and he began to look around.
"Really Kakkarott you shouldn't be so surprised. Just as you have learned new moves over the past millennia so have I. This is just one of them, but unlike you I am not going to be revealing anything about where or from whom I learned it." His voice echoed once more.
"But how…you couldn't have just disappeared." Goku called out still looking around.
"Your right it is impossible to vanish completely however what I have done is the next best thing, I suppose I can make things a little easier for you since you are to dimwitted to find me yourself." Vegeta's voice said. And suddenly Vegeta popped into existence right in front of Goku. And with a strike as quick as lightning the shorter saiyan let loose a devastating blow to Goku's face, effectually sending the taller saiyan flying towards the ground. Goku tried to right himself but the punch left him dazed and as a result was effectively disoriented. A few seconds later he hit the ground hard, face first, causing a huge amount of dirt and dust to fly into the air out of a deep newly made crater. For a few moments Goku just laid there trying to replay what had just happened, along with trying to dull some of the pain that seemed to be ringing in his head.
"That was amazing Vegeta, I don't know how you did it but you managed to completely get around my senses. I wouldn't expect anything less form you though" he said to no one in particular as he picked himself up and took a knee.
"I'm glad you think so" Vegeta's voice said from behind Goku, instantly causing the taller saiyans eyes to widen in surprise. Time seemed to slow down as Goku looked over his left shoulder to see Vegeta standing there with his usual smirk on his face. But what alarmed Goku the most was the fact that Vegeta had his arm extended and was holding an energy ball right at his back. As soon Vegeta saw the panicked look on his rivals face he fired the ball and sent Goku flying forwards and into the hard rock of the crater wall. But it didn't stop there; the ball kept going, pushing the taller saiyan like a drill threw the rock for nearly a mile before it exploded violently creating another large crater in the process.
Back with the spectators
Gohan stood there with his mouth hanging open at what he just seen. Vegeta had somehow managed to get the drop on his dad by disappearing completely and then appear out of nowhere. Not even his experienced eyes could keep up but he knew for a fact that the saiyan prince had done something other than just use pure speed, especially if Goku wasn't able to find him.
"Man that looked like it hurt" Naruto said breaking Gohan out of his trance. The shorter blond was now standing right next to him, watching the fight with wide eyed fascination.
"My word…what power" Lee said with a similar expression on his face. Gohan couldn't help but chuckle a little at their reactions especially given the fact that the two warring saiyans probably still had plenty of fight left in them.
"So do you think it's over?" Ino asked after seeing Vegeta calmly rise up into the air from the crater and not seeing any sign of Goku.
"I don't know but it sure looks like it" Kakashi replied.
"Ha I wouldn't be so sure if I were you" Gohan said with a smirk. And as if right on cue the ground started to shake again and Goku's mighty yell began to sound off. A few moments later the ground that Goku was buried under began to glow and golden beams of light began to shoot outwards until finally it all violently exploded, sending rocks and debris flying everywhere.
"Well Ino I guess that answers your question" Shikamaru said as he and everyone else waited for the thick cloud of dust to settle. When it did settle the Konoha ninja were astonished to see Goku standing in the center of a giant hole with only a few scratches and cuts to show for Vegeta's brutal attack.
Vegeta couldn't help but smirk at seeing his rival staring up at him with that defiant look on his face. It reminded him of when the two had first met. So confident and determined to win no matter what the obstacle and no matter how much more powerful his opponent was.
"Well Kakarott looks like you managed to finally dig yourself out but I am curious to see what you plan to do next." He yelled to the taller saiyan below him, only to get a smirk in return. Goku then squatted down and crossed his arms in front of his face and started summoning his power once again. But something was different that immediately caught the princes eye. Goku's aura was still its usual golden color but for some reason it was beginning to flicker a distinct dark red.
"!" Goku yelled as his power burst forth causing his aura to turn completely red, along with a powerful shock wave to rip across the area.
"Are you ready Vegeta cause this is one of my ultimate attacks that I doubt even you can completely defend against. FINAL KIAO-KEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNN!" He yelled as a previously unknown power erupted from the lone saiyan causing yet another extremely powerful shockwave to fly out in every direction. But unlike the last one, this one was powerful enough that even Vegeta had to put his arm up to cover his face. Goku's muscles budged out even more than they already had and the pupils in his eyes disappeared, leaving only the white sclera behind. He gritted his teeth and squatted down even further and prepared for his attack.
"What the…all this power…from a kiaoken?" Vegeta asked out loud as he looked down at the blinding red light that was emanating off his rival. He had seen the technique many times in the past but never had Goku managed to amass this much power from the technique, it was astounding. After a few seconds of powering up Goku shot up into the air, faster than anyone's eyes could even try to keep up with, and appeared right in front of Vegeta with his arm pulled back ready to strike. At that moment Vegeta had an odd sense of de sha vue remembering this same situation during their first fight. And just like in their first fight Goku slammed his fist right into Vegeta's skull but unlike the last time this punch was about a million times stronger and effectively sent the saiyan prince flying like a rocket, straight through several tall rock formations. But Goku didn't stop there, in a red flash of light he disappeared again only to reappear right in front of where Vegeta was flying. And once the saiyan prince was close enough Goku pulled his leg back and landed hard kick to the shorter saiyans back, sending him hurtling straight up into the air. Vegeta tumbled helplessly as he continued his upward progression, he knew that that Goku wasn't done yet and that he would soon launch another strike from somewhere he just didn't know where. That is until he saw Goku appear from out of nowhere right above him with both hands clasped over his head. The saiyan prince had no time to prepare any sort of defense and could only brace himself. When he got close enough Goku shot both of his arms downward and struck the prince right in the ribs causing Vegeta to yell out in pain as the force of the blow sent him plummeting towards the planet's surface. A huge and violent explosion was the only thing anyone could see once Vegeta hit the ground and from the way the ground shook for a few seconds everyone silently agreed that Gokus strike really must have been something. Debris flew everywhere and a giant plum of dust and smoke rose high into the air. After that Goku let his kiaoken spark out and leaned over painting heavily.
"Man…I don't know if I should do that again. I forgot how much energy that kiaoken actually uses up." He said as he continued to catch his breath. For a few moments nothing happened and everyone on the ground thought that the fight might be over, but Goku new better. He knew that that caliber of attack wouldn't be enough to bring Vegeta down. Hurt him maybe but end the fight, not a chance. A few moments later Goku finally managed to regain his composure and straightened himself as he cast his gaze to the cloud of dust below him. His eye darted back and forth trying to find his rival but all the debris was making it difficult.
"Come on Vegeta, I know that you can't be done yet so why not come out!" he yelled into the smoke as a mischievous smile crawled across his face. "Unless you're scared that is!" Suddenly Vegeta appeared right behind Goku in his galaic gun stance, but this time the charging ball in his hands wasn't purple but red and black.
"I fear nothing! SUPER GALIC GUN FIIRRRREEE!" He yelled as he thrust his arms forward causing the beam to red light to blast from his hands. Goku didn't have much time to form a counter attack since Vegeta was so close, however he did manage to get his arms up in time to try and push it back.
"Grrah…this isn't good, I have never seen a super galic gun before but it defiantly lives up to the name. I don't think I can…push it back!" he thought to himself as he gritted his teeth and continued to push. In a last ditch effort to avoid being hit by the monster beam, Goku took his left hand and put his index and middle figure to his forehead and vanished. With nothing holding the beam back it blasted forwards and ended up colliding with a large mountain that was easily a few dozen miles away from the battle field. When the beam hit, the giant tower of rock and stone exploded into a giant fire ball instantly incinerating everything nearby. The ground shook violently and high winds whipped around the landscape. When everything had settled down the huge mountain that had been their moments ago was gone and in its place was a mile deep smoking crater.
"You know Kakarott I am beginning to find that move rather irritating." Vegeta said as he sensed Goku appear a few feet behind him.
"Well I can't say I really wanted to end up at the bottom of another crater. Other than just letting that attack hit me the instant transmission was my only option" Goku reasoned back.
"Tch…it doesn't matter I guess. Besides before this day is over I will make sure that you end up at the bottom of an even bigger crater anyways." The prince smirked.
"Ha whatever you say Vegeta." Goku said right before the two disappeared and once again began to engage in high speed combat.
The ground shook and wind whipped violently across the landscape as the two warriors continued their invisible fight. The Konoha Nin looked at the scene in awe; even with Gohans onmi eye technique no one could even track them anymore. Only the ever constant shockwaves and explosions signified that the two were even in the area anymore. Then suddenly a large chunk of the ground in the far distance exploded blasting tons of debris into the sky. Meer seconds later a small island to the left of the group's field of vision and had to be at least good several miles away from the first explosion detonated. Moments later another loud boom was heard and they all quickly turned to see a tall mountain far off in the distance shatter into pieces. Then another large plot of land far to their right blew up. This trend continued for several minutes until a vast portion of the area was covered in craters, and still Goku and Vegeta kept fighting.
"My gosh…their incredible. I can hardly keep up" Piccolo commented as he continued trying to keep pace with the super charged saiyans.
"I know I can't either" Gohan said, his own eyes moving rapidly along with the two combatants "How much longer do you think they can keep this up?"
"It's hard to tell, their power is so much higher than anything I have ever experienced before, its mind boggling" the tall namak responded. Gohan nodded in agreement, it was doubtful that there was anyone one else in the entire universe that could do what his dad and Vegeta were doing. He then let his eyes drift away from the fight for a moment and turned to look at the rest of the people under his shield. When he saw their faces he had to try extremely hard to suppress another chuckle. Almost all of the ninja his dad brought with him had their mouths hanging open in a state of total shock. Even with his mask on Gohan could tell that the older white haired ninja shared the same expression. The two saiyan females however were doing a little bit better at covering up their surprise. Nola was focusing extremely hard trying her best to keep up with the fighting duo but it was pretty clear that she didn't posses the skill to keep up with this kind of combat. Tahki on the other hand looked almost agitated as she watched the fight. Her teeth and fist were tightly clenched as sweat dripped down her forehead. Gohan really couldn't blame her for it though, after being taught by someone for over ten years only to find out how much power they truly posses can be a bit of a shock. He remembered seeing his dad use his kiaoken for the first time against Nappa and the shock that he and Krillin had been in. He just hoped that she wouldn't turn out like Vegeta had for so long after his dad turned supersaiyan, leaving everyone to train who knows where for a year only to return and torture himself in his gravity chamber for another three.
"Gwaahh!" Naruto suddenly yelled causing everyone but Gohan and Piccolo to jump.
"Dang it Naruto what the heck did you do that for?" Sakura yelled resisting the urge to strike Naruto on the head. Said blond slowly turned his head to her with a very scared look on his face.
"N-Naruto what is it?" Hinata asked a little worried.
"I just realized…we actually fought against him and he could have done that to any of us any time he wanted to!"He yelled point at the sky.
"Oh my gosh…your right" Ino said as her jaw dropped even further then it already had.
"And the worst part is…we all had the fool hardy idea that we could beat him" Neji said.
"Ha I wouldn't worry about it too much you guys." Gohan said snapping everyone out of their musing. "My dad would never use his full power in just a friendly spar. He knows how strong he is and I am pretty sure he had a good idea how strong all of you were before you started fighting and he would never hurt anyone just because he could. Vegeta might if he got ticked off enough but my dad is usually to laid back to let things get to him unless you're evil and have to be defeated or has to go to the hospital." He said.
"What? What does he have against hospitals?" Sakura asked, given her profession as a medical ninja she and Ino both were curious to know. Gohan sighed and lowered his head in shame before answering.
"Because according to him hospitals have doctors in them and doctors give shots. And he is deathly afraid of shots." He replied. As soon as he did however everyone but he and Piccolo face planted on the ground.
"Are you serious?" Tahki yelled "A guy who can blow up mountains with one figure and can go toe to toe with Vegeta is afraid of a little needle?"
Nola nodded in agreement "I have to agree, are you sure he wasn't just pulling your leg when you were a kid or something?" she asked.
"No he wasn't kidding, the last time he was at a hospital I was told he hid under a bench and refused to come out on account he didn't want to get a needle and he wasn't even the one who was sick" None of them could believe it, a man with as much power as he did was afraid of something so small. Naruto thought about this for a moment before a foxy grin started spreading across his face as all sorts of ideas for pranks started filling his head. However a very loud sonic boom brought them all out of their own thoughts and back to the fight. Apparently the two warriors had collided high in the air and due to the force of their blow, where now flying in opposite directions of each other. Vegeta was the first one to recover and with a swift flip he charged up and shot off like a missile towards Goku. The taller saiyan had no time to put up any type of defense before Vegeta reached him and only managed to cross his arms in front of his chest before Vegeta's left fist collided with his forearms.
"Nice try but you're not getting off that easy!" Vegeta roared as his aura burst into existence giving him the power needed to push both himself and Goku forwards at a very high speed. Before Goku could do anything about this new predicament he and Vegeta collided with another tall rock formation causing Goku to become embedded into the rock.
"Now before you get any bright idea's" Vegeta said as his fist that was still pushing on Goku's crossed arms spread out into an open palm and a rope of energy shot out, pinning Goku's arms to his chest. Goku tried to break the bonds but even with his super saiyan four strength, he couldn't break them.
"Struggle all you want Kakarott, it won't do you any good. After our last fight all those years ago I learned how to strengthen those to the point where even a super saiyan four can't break them." Vegeta said arrogantly.
"So what now? Did you tie me up so you can take a break or are you going to talk me into surrendering?" Goku asked.
"Hardly but now that I have you full attention I think I will show you a new technique I happened to pick up." He smirked as he lifted his right arm up at his side. Suddenly thin blue rings of energy began to travel from his shoulder to the end of his hand only to disappear once they reached the end of his figures. Soon more and more of the rings began to travel down his arm until his entire right arm began to glow a bright blue.
"What the…?" Goku asked not knowing what his old rival was up to.
"You should feel privileged Kakarott, you are the first person I have actually used this on since I perfected it." He smirked again. Suddenly five small sparking disks came into existence at the end of each of his figures. Vegeta then slowly closed his hand, making a fist, and pulled his arm back.
"Now try this on for size clown! Meteor Crusher!" he yelled as he thrust his fist forward and into Goku's gut. For a second nothing happened, but suddenly the gold band that held Goku in place shattered. Mere seconds later the large rock formation that the taller saiyan was stuck in violently blew up, shattering into a million pieces and Goku went flying out the other side at breakneck speeds. The orange clad warrior plowed through several more rock faces before going through the top of one larger mountain and slamming into the ground. But he didn't stay there long though, a few seconds after he landed a bright yellow light burst into existence and blasted right through the rest of the mountain and rocked right for the shorter saiyan.
"What the…there's no way?" Vegeta said as he saw Goku charging at him. And this time it was Vegeta who was hit hard. Using his momentum Goku managed to connect his fist with Vegeta's head, sending the prince flying in the opposite direction. Goku then put his two figures to his head and used his instant transmission to warp right in front of where the prince was flying. He pulled back once again and punted his rival up into the air before falling into a lower stance and cupping his hands behind him.
"" Goku started as a red ball of energy began to gather in between his hands. By this point though Vegeta had managed to get control over himself and now hovered in mid air watching his rival charge up his attack.
"Well if that's the way you want it." Vegeta said as he cupped his right hand and held it at his side and a green energy ball formed in it.
"MEEEEEEEHAAAAAAA TIMES TEN!" Goku yelled as he thrust his arms forward and a huge red beam of energy fired out towards the saiyan prince.
"FINAAAALLL SHIIIINNNE!" Vegeta roared as he drove his arm forward releasing a giant green beam of energy. When the two attacks met the result was explosive to say the least. Everything surrounding the two beams was instantly destroyed when they collided. Mountains turned to rubble, trees were stripped bare before being uprooted or turned to ash and debris was flying in every direction.
"Amazing…his one handed beam…can keep up with…a times ten Kamehameha" Goku thought as he continued to push. But the taller saiyan quickly noticed that even with his strongest kamehameha he was losing ground.
"Ha…what are you going to do now fool?" Vegeta yelled out.
"Well I guess I have…no choice" he grunted. "Sorry to do the…same thing as…last time but I don't…want to lose! FINAL KIAO KEEEEEENNN!" he yelled as his aura once again turned a deep red and an enormous power burst outwards. And within the span of just a few seconds the red beam quickly overtook the green one and headed towards Vegeta.
"Oh no you don't not this time!" he roared as he pulled his left arm back and another green orb formed in his palm. "Double FINAL SHIINNNE!" he yelled as he trust his other arm forward combining both of his huge green beams together. Things immediately shifted as Vegeta's attack overcame Goku's and the locked beams instantly shot back and collided with the taller saiyan, causing a huge explosion when it hit. This explosion was easily the biggest one yet. The ground shook violently and the winds were intense, picking up even more rocks and debris. When it ended a huge crater was all that was left but the thing was immense, easily 5 miles across and at least one or two miles down. Slowly Vegeta began to descend towards the ground panting heavily as he did so. When he landed he instantly took a knee in an effort to catch his breath. And as he did that, at the bottom of the crater Goku slowly dug himself out. He wasn't able to guard against the whole attack but by giving up on pushing the beam back he managed to plow his way underground and avoid a small portion of it. Using what energy he had left he got to his feet and began to float out of the crater. Once he made it to the outside of the giant hole he let himself fall onto the ground, resting on his hands and knees.
"Man Goku it's been awhile since you've been beaten up this bad." He chuckled to himself as he winced at a sharp pain in his ribs. Even though he managed to grunt through the pain, vegeta's meteor crucher attack had done some major damage and he knew for a fact that he would need someone to patch him up later. Slowly he put some pressure on his shaky legs and got to his feet and as he did he noticed Vegeta a few yards away do the same.
"Hey Vegeta what do you say we end this with a bang?" Goku called out .
"What did you have in mind?" Vegeta asked.
"One more attack and this time we put everything we have into it, no holding back." He replied with a smirk.
"Well if you really want to be shamed again all you had to do was ask." He shot back.
"Good then let's get to it" The taller saiyan said as he and Vegeta jumped back a little farther away from each other. Goku ended up landing on a high cliff top while Vegeta shot up high into the air. Once they were both in place the let their awesome powers explode from their bodies once more causing severe effects on the area around them. The sky once again turned dark and lightning began to strike wildly in every direction, the wind picked back up to over hurricane speeds and the ground shook causing it to split and crack everywhere.
"Holy cow, what the heck are they doing now?" Naruto yelled as he tried to keep his balance on the shifting earth.
"They are charging up for the final attack so everyone stay alert, there is a good chance that this half of the planet may go up when they do this." Gohan told them, his eyes never leaving the two fighters.
"Half the planet?" Sakura almost whispered in shock.
"This is incredible…I have never felt this much power before!" Nola said staring wide eyed at what was happening before them.
"I know…but I wonder who is going to win." Tahki said in equal shock.
"Well regardless of that everyone just be ready. The back lash form the attacks they are going to use may be enough to break my barrier." Gohan said earning a somewhat panicked look form the Konoha nin. "Don't worry though, we have a backup plan." He said with a smirk as he turned to lock his gaze with the tall Namak beside him. They both nodded and got to work. Gohan put his left hand onto the wall of the shield, closed his eyes and began to pump more energy into it, while Piccolo closed his eyes and began to gather his own energy.
Back on the battle field.
"Alright Vegeta are you ready for this!" Goku yelled at his rival as his yellow aura chirped wildly around him.
"Of course I am clown, let's do this!" he yelled back.
"Alright then here we go!" Goku said as he leapt up into the air and thrust his right fist in front of himself. "Super Dragon Fist EXPLOOOOODDDE!" he yelled. And as he did a huge and bright explosion engulfed his body. While to the spectators this was an odd thing to see in and of itself what came next caused their jaws to hit the ground. Emerging from the fiery explosion came an enormous, roaring golden dragon. It's long serpentine like body twisted and looped a bit before it launched in Vegeta's direction. But Vegeta wasn't about to be outdone by his rival and started doing something that no one had seen him do before.
"Alright Kakarott let's see how your ultimate move holds up to this. Tiger Claw Strike!" he yelled as a similar explosion surrounded and engulfed his own body. But unlike Goku's Dragon fist, a huge bright green ball of energy emerged from the explosion and quickly rocketed to the ground. The green mass hit the ground and bounced forward, once it made contact with the factored earth the second time the giant twisting ball of energy shattered like an egg and the form of a huge dark green tiger came into existence. It let loose a very loud blood curtailing roar before galloping off to meet Goku's dragon. The two energy creators roared like mad as they began to get closer to each other. It only took a few seconds for the mammoth beasts to reach each other but when they did the result was explosive. When the energies hit a huge, very bright ball of white energy engulfed the two and sent shockwaves that literally began ripping the surface of the planet apart. The ground began shaking again but this time instead of just more cracks forming on the already beaten up rock, jets of lava started exploding out everywhere. The winds were so intense this time that they were literally blasting apart mountains and cliffs like they where nothing. And as the seconds continued to tick by the white ball of energy the two saiyans were locked in began to increase in size, quickly engulfing about a miles worth of space in less than a few seconds. Gohan saw this and knew that if he was going to act now was going to be the time to do it.
"Hurry Piccolo…do it NOW!" he called out as he did his absolute best to make sure his barrier held up.
"Right everyone hang on!" the giant Namake called out as he began concentrating. He then quickly took a knee and placed his left hand on the ground. Suddenly Piccolo pushed a ball of white energy out of his hand and into the ground and it quickly began to bath everything else, including the barrier, in a very bright light. Everyone inside shielded their eyes from the light but after just a few seconds all the light began to fade. Slowly one by one the ninja and the two saiayans began to open their eyes again only to see that they were no longer on the cliff overlooking the fight. In fact the terrain was completely different from what it was just a few seconds ago, it was covered in what looked like grey sand and the ground was covered by craters.
"Hey where are we?" Nola asked as she and the others continued looking around. But suddenly all eyes went to Gohan as he dropped his hand from the shield and slowly began to fall backwards. Kakashi was the first to act and grabbed Gohan from behind and gently laid him on the ground.
"Gohan are you ok?" He asked as the half saiyan continued to breathe heavily trying to catch his breath.
"He should be fine in a few minutes" Piccolo said as he stood up to his full height. "He's just exhausted; he had to use almost every ounce of power he had to keep this shield from breaking apart when that happened." He said pointing upwards. Everyone followed Piccolo's figure and were all out amazed at what they saw. Above them a huge green planet dominated the sky but what immediately caused everyone's jaw's to drop was that on the left side of the planet was a huge twisting ball of white energy that had to be at least a quarter the size of the entire planet and was still blasting visible shockwaves across the planet's surface.
"If you still haven't figured it out we are on one of the moons that surround this planet, and that white ball is where Goku and Vegeta are." Piccolo said calmly.
"So…you're saying that…that is the explosion that they made when those two animal things hit?" Naruto asked his eyes still glued to the scene in front of him.
"That's exactly what I am saying." Piccolo responded. The rest of the ninja just stood there in silence not knowing what to really think as the continued to watch the swirling maelstrom continue. Nola and Tahki were having a similar reaction but for a different reason. Seeing this kind of thing wasn't really new to either of them especially given the fact that even a mid level saiyan could potentially blow up a planet, but it was that fact that the pure amount of energy that was being expelled from this one attack was just inconceivable. All in all they were both just surprised that the entire planet hadn't ripped itself apart yet.
"My gosh…if that had happened on earth the entire land of fire would be gone" Ino said quietly still in awe of the spectacle.
"Ha you have to be kidding." Piccolo said shaking his head instantly getting a look of confusion from everyone.
"What do you mean?" Neji asked
"If that blast would have happened on earth the entire planet would be gone. This planet is easily 10 times bigger than earth is." He said with a shrug. Almost everyone's jaws dropped at that.
"What…no way…" Shikamaru said returning his gaze to the planet.
"My word…what kind of people are we dealing with where blowing up planets is as simple as executing one attack?" Kakashi thought to himself.
"So how much longer do you think that they will go at it?" Naruto asked at seeing no sign that the raging energy storm was about to die off.
"I…don't think it should be that much longer." Gohan said weakly as he tried to sit up.
"Hey you might want to take it easy for a while" Sakura said as she walked over and kneeled beside the exhausted half saiyan, going into nurse mode. "I don't know much about the kind of energy you guys use but if it is anything like chakra you're going to be out of it for awhile. If you want, me and Ino can try to refill some of you energy with a medical ninjutsu, but I'm not sure how much good it will do given how much energy you guys use." She said honestly only to get a small chuckle form Gohan.
"Don't worry about it, I will me alright because I have these." He said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small brown pouch. He carefully undid the string that held the pouch closed, reached in and pulled out a small green bean.
"Hey what's that?" Sakura asked looking at the bean in Gohan's hand. It didn't look like much, kinda like a very tiny lima bean or something.
"This is called a senzu bean. This will have me back to normal in no time." he said as he popped the bean into his mouth. As he chewed the bean Sakura was looking at him with a confused look on her face. How on earth was a little bean like that supposed to do anything. It was so tiny it would even make for a decent snack, let alone making you feel better. But regardless she stayed quiet and watched to see what would happen. A few moments later Gohan swallowed the bean and as he did he closed his eyes, took a deep breath and not more than two seconds later suddenly jumped into the air and landed back onto his feet, clearly surprising everyone around him (except Piccolo that is).
"AWWHH….that's much better" he said as he stretched his arms out a little.
"Bu…bbut how?" Sakura and Ino asked at the same time clearly not understanding how a little bean could bring someone back from the brink of exhaustion so quickly. In truth the rest of the Konoha nin were wondering the same thing but given all of the other strange things that they had seen so far they didn't say anything.
"Oh well that how senzu beans work. Just one of these beans has the ability to restore someone's health and energy almost completely. It also has the nice side effect of keeping whoever eats one full for up to ten days, even though for a saiyan that only equates up to about two." He finished with a chuckle. Everyone was amazed to hear that, and they all began thinking of all the benefits to having these magical bean. "But before any of you get too excited I should tell you that these things are very hard to find. In fact there is only one place to get them and the owner of the beans doesn't give them out to just anyone." He said popping almost all of their bubbles.
"I hate to interrupt Gohan but it looks like it is safe to return to the planet's surface now." Piccolo said still looking at the planet's surface. Gohan and the others shifted their gaze to the planet as well and saw that the wild energy storm had finally dissipated completely leaving a massive crater on the surface of the planet.
"Whao…look at the size of that thing." Naruto said astonished by the large blemish the planet now had.
"Yeah it is but we should get back. Knowing my dad and Vegeta they are probably pretty banged up by now." Gohan said as he turned to Piccolo and gave him a nod. The Namek nodded back and took a knee once more while placing his hand on the ground beneath them. Slowly he pumped his energy into the ground and just like before a bright white light began to surround them. Everyone closed their eyes again as they were teleported back to the surface of the planet.
