"Gohan! Gohan get up!" A female voice could be heard. It felt like an echoed voice beaconing him back from somewhere far away. Gohan's eyes opened and he felt them sting as sunlight hit them. He was not sure how long he was out, but it felt like far to long. His body just suddenly felt so drained, and even now his body felt heavy. The light of the sun break as above stood Videl in her Saiyaman Crimson outfit.
"What happened?" Gohan groaned as he lifted himself up, a struggle to do so. He was not sure what happened to all his strength. He looked around and found himself imprinted into the ground, remembering that he had been in the air fighting. His hand instantly grabbed the Z-sword, and moved to stand with it. Instead its weight held him down and refused to lift from the ground. "What… why is it so heavy now."
A small distance away, the red figure of Dabura was making his way to his feet. He looked to his hands before clenching them. ~So that is how it is, place on a world and then weaken us. Must mean you have some fear of our abilities. Little did you know the true power of the king of demon realm. ~ The demonkin thought to himself as he stood up fully and looked at the fighter he challenged beforehand. Now a second warrior was with him, some woman in a helmet that covered her face. "Looks like you're affected as well, but not that one. Must mean she is just too weak for it to harm her."
"You know what is going on then? Sounds like we are lucky then, you have no chance against us together. You should surrender and tell us everything you know." Videl announced, gesturing with an extended finger. Her stance one of confidence as she summoned what Ki she could pull up to have her cape billow heroically.
The demon laughed at her comment, his hand out stretched back toward her. "A warrior from demon realm does not just give in. I will make you suffer for even suggesting the opposite." Dabura's sword appeared in his hand, his body slide almost unnaturally toward Videl.
His body instead shifted to evade a blade that fell for his head, Gohan used instant transmission that he learned from his father to instead transport the impossibly heavy sword. He hoped to catch the demon unaware. Gohan released the blade as it sank into the grass below. His feet hit the ground before he launched himself at Dabura. Kita had trained him how to fight a sword wielder, even when unarmed. He shifted his Ki to his arms and used it to repel the blade away as he shifted his body away from the edge. Dabura's counter swing instead severed a few hairs from the young man's hair. Gohan was quick to shift one hand to Dabura's wrist, the other to his shoulder, his leg placed into the footing of Dabura and wrenched him off the ground. Dabura simply grinned though, as his hand released the sword. He simply summoned it to the other hand, and thrust forward. Gohan released the wrist to allow him to narrow his stance and the blade cut into the cloths on his body but left his body uninjured so far. A shout as Videl entered the fray, a heavy kick went for Dabura's head. Instead the demon pulled back his sword arm and blocked the attack with easy.
"At least you both are willing to try to face me. To bad for you… and for her… I am holding back." He grinned as aura darkened, red and black flares wrapped around his body. With both arms he repelled both fighters with ease. Gohan and Videl flanked the demon who released his evil Ki, and grew stronger and stronger.
"You act like you're the only one holding back. Crimson battle jacket, Engage!" Videl exposed a watch on her wrist, a smile on her face as she pressed on the button. The Capsule Corp developed battle suit began to materialize and replaced her other suit. Now in a proper battle armored suit ready to fight. She entered another battle stance, ready to charge forward.
"Right, my turn." Gohan brought both hands to his sides. "Let's finish this and go straight to level two!" His body tensed as he summoned his Ki, but found that drawing out the saiyan's super state was difficult. He roared out as he pushed himself into finally entering a super saiyan. He felt his body was tired already from the transformation though, his Ki was being drained a lot faster than he planned.
The two warriors could not wait to learn what was happening though. The two rushed forward to take advantage of their flanked position against Dabura. The Demon King grinned as he blocked both of their attacks, surprised by the sudden power increase. He remembered the golden-haired form being powerful, but he was releasing his full strength and not holding back against some welp like before. A twist of his wrist and he soon aimed his blade for Videl. Gohan quickly took hold of body and pulled him away into a suplex. Dabura's body crashed to the ground, his hand lifted and smacked into Gohan's elbow to force one arm to let go. Grabbing the wrist, Dabura rolled to stand and pulled Gohan with him. Videl rushed forward as Debura stood, aimed a kick for his face that was block by the flat blade. His vision impaired as Videl summoned her Ki to her hands and fired a blast into his stomach, her other leg kicking into his arm holding Gohan and making him release her boyfriend.
Dabura growled at the idea that even as he brought out his demonic Ki, these mortals could hold him back. He needed to remove one of them from the equation, his hand gripping his sword tightly. The boy would know of one of his abilities, after all he was there for one of his most deadly secrets… but the girl would most likely not know. A grin on his face. "The next move will be the beginning of the end. Come at me with everything you have, or die with regret." He admitted his own victory.
Videl and Gohan both did not like the sound of this. The two shifted to instead stand beside each other. If nothing they could defend each other better this way. "Gohan, why are you not going to higher levels."
"I can't, I am pushing as far as I can go… well beside grade 2. But I feel a massive drain from this form already. I just don't understand why he is not feeling the same thing." Gohan's eyes focused on the demon, wondering what he was planning.
Dabura lifted his hand and fired a blast, the two brought up their Ki and went for the air. Dabura leapt into the air with a downward slash aimed at Gohan. Videl shifted to move forward to kick him in the head. Dabura suddenly spit at her incoming leg. Gohan's eyes realized the danger, his hand quickly pulled her away. Instead from his shoulder to his waist a slash went down his body. In an instant the slash burned with the fury of flames, his skin around the slash turned red as if irritated as Gohan screamed out in pain the seared itself into his mind. His body seized under the pain as he could not even think properly. Dabura was not done though, Gohan's body slightly over Videl's as the demon fired a blast down and soon crashed them both into the ground with Videl smashed between the ground and Gohan.
"Looks like you two get to die together. Allow me to make your last moments filled with agony." Dabura lifted the blade overhead, ready to through it down through the pain wracked Gohan and into Videl below.
"Leave my future son in law alone!" Mr. Satan's voice yelled out, Dabura's head first turned to look at the ground. But then he thought he head it above him? The demon looked up to see the human was in the air with a parachute. An instant later a Jetcar slammed into Dabura's body. The surprise impact was enough to at least to force Dabura to slide away as the Jetcar rend itself apart from the impact. Mr. Satan held out his finger to issue challenge. "Your facing the world champion now. Mr. Satan!"
"What a foolish mortal. No matter, he dies as well then." Dabura lifted his hand to the air. Mr. Satan as no long alone though. The new opponents suddenly showed themselves. One grabbing the human from the parachute, the other two almost like twins stood in with a serious look. "Who… where did you."
"God sent us." One of the green figures spoke, cracking his knuckles. "I have not had an actual fight in some time. Piccolo, you mind taking the lead while I get the rust off."
"If you need time to get the rust off, then you're not training hard enough." Piccolo snapped at Nail, who just shook his head instead.
"Sorry, just trying this human thing. Dende kept remarking on how humans are so interesting." Nail said, his stern demeanor not shifting. This caused everything he said to sound more sarcastic than anything. "Anyway, I am better close range. You do whatever you are doing."
"More ants." Dabura growled. "What ever God you have here, will die after I kill everyone here." The demon launched himself toward them. Piccolo brought out two balls of energy and began to launch them in rapid directions. Nail dashed forward to intercept. Dabura thrust his blade forward to stab the creature before him. Instead he finds a fist firmly planted into his face as Nail's arm extended forward passed the sword's reach. His other arm wrapped around his sword arm like a snake and tightened as he attempted to break his arm. The demon's arm was stronger still though, twisting the blade and severing the namekian's arm. Nail yelled out in pain, grabbing his arm and tearing it off his body. Dabura surprised by this event, and caught unaware by the Namekian regeneration.
"Hellzone Gernade!" Piccolo called out as he used the energy he had tossed around to attack Dabura from all directions. The demon roaring as many places he could not just defend against, and unaware of the other Namekian's attack. Nail launched another attack, a punch aimed for his body. Dabura used the flat of his blade to block the incoming attack. "Special Beam Cannon!" Another Piccolo shouted out; Piccolo had used the multi form technique to prepare one attack while distracting with a different one. A drilling beam hit the flat blade, the pressure hit Dabura and he was forced to use his other hand to hold the blade at bay. Piccolo's attack finally piercing through, the blade snapping from the hole now made as Dabura was run through with the attack.
The demon coughed up blood, he looked to his sword in two pieces. He growled as weaker fighters had begun to take him down. "I cannot believe this. I am the king of demon realm. I will not be killed in this way!" He shouted out.
"Your right, look behind you." Piccolo said with a grin.
Dabura glared at Piccolo, but the prideful smile showed him that there was no point in lying. He turned his head, and what he saw was Gohan standing again. Beside him was another Namekian, Dende. After moving Mr. Satan away, he had snuck around to Gohan and healed him. Gohan already in position, his hands to his side as a blue ball of light shined. "Get off my planet!" Gohan roared out, and fired a massive blast at the demon. His feels of keeping the demon alive were removed the moment he planned on turning Videl to stone. Filled with anger, he released enough to engulf the demon king, the blast carried into the sky with no end in sight.
Another fight ended. With so many fighters needed to face each opponent, will our other heroes be safe? Is there enough back up between the fighters? Will some of the enemy have their own back up? And what will happen with the androids? Lets see what next chapter entails for us!
