Morning. Gojitto leered over Gemini Town as he cracked his knuckles. The time was right to
resume the battle. Vegeta would lose this time, Gojitto was sure of that. Never again would he be
humiliated like yesterday. Such a fate could not be allowed. But now that he had achieved his
power boost, nothing could stand in his way. The end would be soon.

"Gojitto! He's to the west!" shouted Vegeta as he sensed Gojitto's ki grow immensely stronger.
Gohan gazed in awe. "You're kidding!"
"No! Now let's go!" yelled Vegeta, turning Super Saiyan and blasting off into the sky. Gohan and
Tenshinhan ran after him, eager to put an end to this futile battle.
"Be careful, Ubuu," said Bra as Ubuu prepared to follow the others. Ubuu smiled. "I'll be fine,"
he commented before blazing into the air.
Trunks and Goten stared in shock as they sensed Gojitto's ki. "Man! It's huge! We'd better get to
work right away!" shouted Goten as he headed toward the ROSAT. Dende waved. "See you two
later!"
The winds gave Vegeta a dramatic push forward as he flew away from Kami's Lookout. He
smiled. "Well, Gojitto, it seems like you are foolish enough to challenge me again. Very well. The
pleasure of killing you will be all mine."
Gohan looked over at Vegeta. The Saiyan warrior was clad in his old blue sleeveless outfit, and
either it was his imagination, or had Vegeta actually grown some hair? The prince looked just like
he had when he fought Buu, plus a few wrinkles. The whole Saiyan aging gene thing wasn't so
bad, Gohan decided. The half-Saiyan had increased his power greatly in the ROSAT, but he
doubted that he had the necessary drive to beat Gojitto. Vegeta, more likely, after surviving one
fight with Gojitto, was far more likely to win. Although, Gohan thought, the whole situation itself
seemed odd. Why was Gojitto so weak? Why did he lose to Vegeta so easily, even though he was
a quadri-fusion? He should have won in Super Saiyan 2, because that was like having the
combined strength of 4 SS2 against one SS4. Gohan was staring to wonder how much power the
Super Saiyan 4 form actually increased a person's power. This fight wasn't one to be taken
lightly. Gojitto would fight hard. Gohan had to make sure that Vegeta didn't lose his head.
Vegeta caught sight of Gojitto standing atop a skyscraper and set down juxtaposed from the evil
fusion. "So, Gojitto, you once again show your face, so does that mean you are ready to lose
again?"
Gojitto smiled. "I think this time I will win, Vegeta."
"And what gives you that idea?"
"Since our last battle, I have recovered completely, and grown in strength from such a brutal
beating. The world is viewed as a whole, but I see it as an empty. I will conquer this dimension,
and then fuse with every Kakarotto and Vegeta throughout all of time and space!"
Vegeta scuffed at the remark. "Whatever." He immediately bludgeoned outward, his body bulging
in all places, his hair growing long and golden. Vegeta was Super Saiyan 3. But the Saiyan didn't
stop there. He kept pushing himself, forcing his body further into its primal urge. His hair began
to turn black again, and a red tail sprouted from his pants. Hair could be seen beneath his loose
tank top, and Gohan, Ubuu, and Tenshinhan could easily see that Vegeta had finally accomplished
transforming into a Super Saiyan 4 without any sort of mechanical age merely by focusing his
power into reaching such a power.
"My God, Vegeta," Gohan said, stricken with shock, "You've done it. You've mastered control
of Super Saiyan 4."
Vegeta smirked as Gojitto floated closer. Finally, Gojitto stopped about twenty feet from the
Super 4, his hair flashing yellow and bringing him to Super Saiyan 2. Gojitto brought up his fists
in a defensive position, his eyes pleading for Vegeta to strike. Vegeta needed no urging, he was
glad to make the first move, ramming forward into Gojitto's chest. Gojitto barely blocked the
attack, and was instantly hit with a flurry of punches and kicks, the two Saiyans moving like
lightning in their battle. In the air, Gojitto had a strict advantage, his maneuvering techniques
greatly increased due to the extra space. Vegeta, though, was fitted to combat in all playing fields,
and did not take especial notice to Gojitto's extra help, which the prince himself deemed a minor
tip of the scales for which he had already broken with his own immense strength.
Tenshinhan whispered to Gohan. "Son Gohan, do you think Gojitto's hiding something from us?"
Gohan frowned. "Yes. I'm sure of it. He can go Super Saiyan 3."
Tenshinhan's eyes shot open wide. "What?! No way!"
"Yes, I am without doubt. And if he can achieve Super Saiyan 3, Vegeta will not likely be able to
stop him, even if we all work together."
Ubuu floated over to the others, apparently having heard the whole conversation. "So you're
saying we can't beat him?"
"Not necessarily. In Super Saiyan, it all depends on how much control you have over your power.
If Gojitto has yet to master Super Saiyan 3, then he will be significantly weaker. Another
disadvantage is that Super Saiyan 3 can only stay in his form for an elapsed time period.
Eventually, their power dissipates like in Super Saiyan 4, and they return to Super Saiyan 2."
"So maybe we can win!"
"Wait and see, Ubuu."
Gojitto darted forward, lunging and twisting his arms and legs at Vegeta, trying to hit him. But
Vegeta was moving too fast, and Gojitto couldn't lay a finger on him. With one swift punch,
Gojitto smashed into the ground, clutching his chest and groaning. Vegeta laughed. "You fool!
You aren't even stronger then that Ii-Shenron! I should put you out of your misery!"
Gojitto shrugged. "You could do that. Or..." His body instantly begin to glow with an inflamed
golden aura again. Vegeta glared angrily. Another one of Gojitto's escape plans? No. Gojitto's
hair began to flash black and yellow, and then began to extend, until a horrified Vegeta was
looking upon a Super Saiyan 3 Gojitto.
Gojitto grabbed some of his new hair and felt it. "Hmm... so this is what it feels like to be Super
Saiyan 3... my Kakarotto side could hardly remember. But it seems as though the temporary
cripple that kept me on the lowest form of Super Saiyan 2 has passed, and now I have grown a
substantial amount of power to add to my name. I do believe the playing field is once again turned
in my advantage, Vegeta-chan."
Vegeta backed off in awe. "How- how did you- you-"
"Reach SS3?" Gojitto said, finishing Vegeta's sentence. "I actually owe it to you. If you hadn't
beaten me up so much, I would have never reached this point. To admit the truth, I was quite
amazed to discover that you were stronger than me. But for some reason, the multiple fusions
have stumped my power boost so that it becomes harder to increase strength. Because of you, I
reached full SS2 and then SS3. So, thank you Vegeta."
Gojitto grabbed the Super 4 and flung him into a building. Launching ki blast after ki blast,
Gojitto watched in triumph as the building crumbled upon Vegeta. Gohan and the others stared in
shock. Gohan grimaced. "I guess it's my turn."
