Chapter 44

Gohan looked at the massive Arcosian in horror, not from appearance but from the unbelievable amount of power now being generated by his opponent.

Krieza smirked as he saw his opponent's confidence disappear and the realisation of his defeat set in. Krieza flew at Gohan as fast as he could leaving the young Super Saiyan in complete confusion as his opponent suddenly disappeared and tried to sense out his opponent. Krieza smiled and punched the confused Saiyan's face causing the Saiyan to rocket off and smash through building after building. Krieza waited for his opponent calmly as he knew from the power he had put in the punch that his opponent would be alive, but hurting very badly.

Gohan flew out of the rubble he was in and floated into the sky across from Krieza as blood dripped down his forehead, with cuts covering his entire body and his clothes were completely ripped apart. Gohan angrily charged his opponent with everything he had, launching as many combinations of kick's and punch's he could, hoping for even one of them to connect.

Krieza watched the young Saiyan as he moved out of the way of each and every punch without even trying, as his opponent seemed to be moving in slow motion to him and it caused him to chuckle, infuriating his opponent who tried his best to land a single blow against him. Krieza eyes lit up red and suddenly Gohan was blasted away from the Arcosian by a fierce wind, but quickly stopped himself and launched a mighty energy blast at his foe only for the blast to be redirected by a powerful wind that was generated by Krieza with a mere flick of his rest. The energy ball sailed past the Arcosian and crashed into the city and exploded enveloping the entire area, showing the power of the warriors fighting.

Gohan charged forward and drew his fist back and launched it forward as hard as he could, landing the punch on his foe's face. Gohan was shocked as he saw his attack seemed too had done nothing to his opponent but didn't stop and attacked with a fury. Gohan put his power behind every punch and kick he landed onto the Arcosian that caused explosions to come from the two warriors' from the force. Krieza watched in amusement at every hit that was landed on him before growing bored and reaching his arm out and grabbing the Saiyan's head before throwing him into the ground creating a massive crater.

Gohan slowly dragged himself up from the ground after the beating he had just taken and growled in anger "This guy is so much stronger than me, even my best attack's seemed to do nothing to him" thought Gohan in worry before getting an idea.

"If this doesn't work, I'm done for" thought Gohan as he brought up to fingers to his head the same way he did with instant transmission but instead of teleporting he generated a powerful yellow energy.

"This worked on Raditz even though he was more than twice as strong as Piccolo. I hope this can do the same for me. Just hope he gives me the time to charge it" thought Gohan as he charged the attack.

Krieza looked at the young Saiyan in interest as he felt the boy's power level starting to swell and gather "Hmm, maybe he has some more left in the tank" thought Krieza as he decided to wait and see what his opponent was up to.

Gohan relaxed slightly when he noticed Krieza seemed to be willing to wait for his attack. Gohan charged his power into his attack when he felt/hoped it would be strong enough and suddenly disappeared moving at a speed even the super powered Arcosian had trouble tracking and reappeared behind him almost instantly.

"Special Beam Cannon" yelled out Gohan as he let out the corkscrewing attack that smashed and drilled its way into Krieza's unsuspecting back.

Krieza let out a gasp of pain as he felt the beam try to pierce through him but quickly turned around and brought his hands up catching the powerful beam. Krieza grit his teeth in effort from the blast before throwing the blast over his head and into space.

Gohan looked in horror as he saw his blast had been redirected. He thought for sure his combination of Instant Transmission plus the Special Beam Cannon would have worked but his opponent seemed at most winded from the attack while he had drained a lot of his energy to produce the power.

Krieza looked at his hands that now carried scorch marks and a little bit of blood before looking back at his opponent with a smile "Fantastic, what an incredible attack. If I had been a bit weaker, it might have worked. But still I am truly impressed" said Krieza.

Gohan shook his head and laughed slightly at the Arcosian's excitement "Glad I could impress you" responded Gohan.

"Do you have any other attack's you would like to try. I would gladly wait for you to use them" asked Krieza in delight.

Gohan let on a sigh before shaking his head "Sorry fresh out."

Krieza shook his head "Pity, well then I guess I'll just have to finish this "as he suddenly disappeared.

Gohan tried to sense out his opponent when he was suddenly grabbed from behind by two gigantic arms squeezing his arms to his body. Gohan threw back his elbow knowing he wasn't strong enough to simply break his opponent grip but felt his elbow hit solid muscle and seemed to have no effect on his Arcosian opponent. Gohan tried again and again, but each blow appeared to do nothing to his opponent.

Krieza grinned as he started to squeeze the Saiyan in his arms. Gohan let out a scream in pain as he felt his bones being grinded and the unbelievable pressure being put on his body seemed unbearable.

Krieza grinned at his opponent's scream "You have done well young Saiyan. But I am still the strongest fighter in the universe. But you shall get an honourable death a warrior of your calibre deserves" said Krieza as he prepared to finish his opponent.

Krieza was suddenly struck in the face, a powerful kick landed directly on his face but stood completely still as the kick did nothing to him. Krieza looked at his opponent and saw it was the blonde woman who had fought Killer Frost. Krieza then was kicked from the other side in the face this one with a lot more power, but still nothing to him as he looked and saw this time it was the green-skinned woman who looked slightly different now but was interested as he noted she didn't have a scratch on her even after fighting Sub-Zero who had been his second in command. Krieza let Gohan go and backed up as he thought the fight could be of interest with the three in front of him fighting together.

Gohan was breathing heavily as he felt arms wrap around of him on both sides "Gohan are you okay" asked both 18 and Zangya at the same time who then glared at one another.

"No he is too strong, we have to escape from here" responded Gohan shocking the two when suddenly Fasha showed up in her Super Saiyan form next to the group. "This is a fight we can't win, he is infinitely strong than I am" continued the beaten down Saiyan.

Gohan tried to sense out into outer space so he could transport the group to the closest planet but was shocked when he couldn't sense past the planet's atmosphere.

"I, I can't sense anything outside the planet," said Gohan in shock causing Krieza to laugh.

"Of course you can't there is a special barrier around the planet stopping anything from sensing inside of here and anything from looking outside the planet. How else would we keep this planet a secret if we are constantly generating so much power that it would tip of every single scouter and sensor in the universe" laughed Krieza as he explained it.

"But, But how did I teleport in here then," asked Gohan in confusion.

"Simple we had to remove the barrier so we can launch a ship. I'm sure you sensed out this part of space before don't you think you would have sensed mine or my fighter's power's instantly" answered Krieza.

Leaving the group shocked "So you see this fight is to the finish" said Krieza with a grin.

"Gohan I know he's strong, but we have no choice," said Fasha, which Gohan nodded to.

"Where are Bardock and Tora," Gohan asked as he expected to see his grandfather in the air beside him.

"Him and Tora got pretty messed up in the last battle, it's just going to be the four of us" explained Fasha as she nodded her head in the direction of the two Saiyan's watching the battle from the ground, where Gohan noticed Nappa lying unconscious "Wait where's Vegeta?" asked Gohan.

"Die Lizard" yelled out the tiny prince as he charged Krieza.

Krieza felt the mosquito bite like hit on his face before looking at the small prince. Krieza's eyes twinkled just slightly that no one would even be able to notice it when a massive wind smashed into him and launching the prince into a crater unconscious.

Meanwhile with Tora and Bardock, Bardock had placed Tora on the ground and leaned his friend against a knocked down wall as he stood and the two watched the battle knowing they couldn't help.

Tora looked up in the sky at his friends and could only hope for the best when he noticed a deep cut on his friends arm that was healing slowly "Bardock here" said Tora getting his friends attention as offered the white cloth to his friend.

Bardock looked at his best friend in confusion before he noticed the deep gash and nodded his thanks as he wrapped it around his arm and tied it to cover the cut as a bit of blood stained the white cloth but helped stopped the bleeding.

"So this is it," said Tora.

"Maybe" responded Bardock.

"And we can't even help," said Tora as both he and Bardock waited for the battle to commence.

The group of four floated across from the monstrous Arcosian warrior who waited for his opponent's attack. "Gohan…stay back and rest" said 18 as she, Zangya and Fasha floated in front of him between him and Krieza.

"WHAT?" asked Gohan as he took in deep breaths.

"No 18 is right. Your power is dropping ever second. You won't be able to last much longer. The best thing you can do is try and gather your energy and think of a way to beat this guy while we distract him" said Zangya which.

"But" was all Gohan got out when both girl's turned and glared at him.

"Ok," Gohan said simply as he floated back reluctantly and tried to gather the energy he needed as he could feel his Super Saiyan 2 transformation slipping.

18 glared at Krieza "How could you lie to your own people. You tricked them into serving you and when you didn't need them anymore you just threw them away" asked 18 in complete anger.

Krieza looked at her in confusion before realizing what she was talking about "Seems you were doing more talking than fighting with your opponent now weren't you. But it doesn't matter now. I trained my warriors, raised them from nothing. So you ask me how could I throw them away. Simple, they were my tools, created by me to serve me. And once they no longer do that… Well whats the point of them being around" Krieza answered simply.

The three warrior women charged their opponent Fasha led the group and landed the hardest elbow she could manage on the Arcosian's stomach before moving out of the way and flipping over him. 18 came next and delivered the strongest kick she could possibly give to Krieza's face launching herself of him and floating next to Fasha.

Zangya was the last to go and blazed her fierce green aura around her as she attacked with everything she had and delivered a devastating uppercut to the Arcosians chin whose face barely even moved up from the force before doing a roundhouse kick to the back of his head, before re-joining the group.

The group of three then attacked at once, each attacking the gigantic Arcosian with everything they had, hundreds if not thousands of blows landed on him from every angle and side as the three attacked from different sides. Krieza looked at the three warriors in curiosity but was quickly getting bored when the three jumped back and charged up their most powerful energy blast's they could muster.

Fasha charged up a massive amount of pink energy into her right hand before throwing in the air and spin kicking it at her opponent "Hunting Arrow" yelled the Saiyan.

18 was next and charged up a massive blue ball of energy in her hand "Power Blitz" yelled the android as she released the blast.

Zangya then charged up a powerful red almost orange energy blast in her right hand and launched it "Beauty Trigger."

The three different colored energy balls each rocketed into there waiting opponent as it slammed into him. Both Fasha and Zangya we're breathing in heavily from the power of the attacks they had just unleashed while 18 floated beside them calmly.

When the dust cleared, Krieza wore the same board looked as he did before "Is it my turn now?" Krieza asked calmly.

Fasha growled in anger before charging the Arcosian and threw a punch at him. Krieza merely caught the punch before throwing the Saiyan into the ground cratering it. When the Saiyan women was revealed, her hair was back to it's original black, having dropped her Super Saiyan transformation and showing she was unconscious.

Zangya attacked next while 18 covered her from behind by unleashing a never-ending swarm of energy balls that slammed into the unmoving Arcosian. Zangya charged Krieza and went for a powerful kick to the face the he dodged easily. Krieza then grabbed Zangya by her foot and head and brought her down in a powerful and extremely devastating back breaker. Zangya let out a terrible scream of pain as she felt her spine beginning to shatter from the pressure.

Krieza then stopped but kept a firm grip on the Hera warrior's foot before throwing her viscously to the ground. Krieza quickly followed this up by pointing to the ground with both hands and unleashing an immensely powerful energy blast that consumed the transformed Heran warrior. When the smoke cleared, there was a massive creator and lying in the middle of it covered with dirt was Zangya, who had now reverted back to her original state and was clearly unconscious.

18 who hadn't stopped blasting the Arcosian with her most powerful energy blasts this entire time was suddenly rushed by the gigantic Arcosian. Krieza used his stretched out arms to clothesline the blonde fighter, who was sent spinning. He quickly followed this up by putting his hand in the air and charging an energy blast before swinging down and unleashing it in the androids face who was blasted into the ground and taken out of the fight.

Gohan watched on in horror and anger as he watched one by one as his friends who he cared for deeply and the girls who he was beginning to feel something for he couldn't even explain be tossed around and hurt by the being in front of him. Gohan let loose his anger as his golden aura exploded around him and he charged the Arcosian with everything he had and punched him on the cheek causing to actually stagger the seemingly unbeatable Krieza.

Krieza noticed it had been Gohan who struck him and smirked "Not bad, I see you have something left after all" before he hit Gohan with a knee to the gut causing the young Saiyan to hack up blood before jackhammering him into the ground and launching a powerful energy blast at his opponent.

Gohan felt the energy blast hit him and burn into his skin as he was dragged into the ground and felt the horrible amount of energy try to incinerate him. Gohan did his best to hold the blast back as he smashed into the ground and it exploded. When the blast cleared Gohan was standing on his feet, he could feel his energy waning, he didn't even know how he was staying in his Super Saiyan 2 form currently, but all he knew was, that he was. Gohan slowly floated from the crater with deep, ragged breaths as he floated across from his opponent and felt like his body could fall apart at any time.

"You have given me the best fight of my life Saiyan. And for that you will be rewarded with an honourable death" said Krieza.

Gohan was silent before saying something "How?" asked Gohan, confusing the Arcosian.

"How what?" asked Krieza.

"How did you know when you couldn't transform anymore? How did you know that this was a final transformation and there was nowhere else to go?" asked Gohan.

Krieza looked at his opponent with interest before answering "It was quite simple. Whenever I looked deep inside myself, I could sense it. I could sense this speck of light, of energy. It was always so far away and so hard to even find. But it was always there. And that, that is how I knew when there was always more energy, more strength to be acquired. But when I reached this stage, no matter how much I looked nothing was there" Krieza explained while Gohan nodded in understanding.

"You know I never knew there was a form. A power beyond the first level of Super Saiyan. It was my father who knew of it. I never knew how. He was always so sure of himself like that there was no way he was wrong" said Gohan. "And over the past few years I tried to figure out a way for me to tell if there was a level beyond a Super Saiyan 2. But I was never able to understand how my father did it…Till now" continued Gohan.

"Ah… So you still have a spark left in you then. Well go on and grab it" said Krieza in excitement.
