Vegeta sent a relatively small ki blast Gohan's way and disappeared…Gohan only smiled and waited until the blast neared…He slowly raised one finger and the blast stopped in mid-air. Vegeta suddenly appeared from behind Gohan and kicked his lower back, so he went flying into the blast. He wasted no time and sent a brutal volley of ki blasts in the relative area of Gohan. Vegeta was cut short when an arm was wrapped around his neck and pressed tight. Vegeta clawed desperately at the arm clutched around him until deep grooves spilled blood from Gohan's arms. Vegeta recoiled and flipped over, kicking Gohan square in the nose. Vegeta punched, but his fist was caught. He grimaced and looked up into Gohan's cold ruthless eyes. Matching smirks sprawled across both challengers' faces, as both egos soared. Gohan broke away and slowly and painstakingly wiped the oozing blood from his arm, careful not to let a single drop fall to the ground. He cupped his hands and sipped the blood back as if it were mere water. Unaware of being vulnerable as he drank, Vegeta crept up and smacked his hands into his face, breaking Gohan's nose. A few shimmery drops of blood fell from Gohan's hand and splattered on the ground. With every dark drop hitting the Earth, Gohan shuddered. Vegeta, thoroughly disgusted with it all, decided to make short work of Gohan, grabbed his arm, and stuck his other hand right up to his stomach. Gohan only had time to look down before a huge hole was blown through his belly. Or…had it? Vegeta cursed under his breath and backed away slowly. Gohan was still busily looking down at the drops of blood…Vegeta blinked a few times, had he imagined it? He was pretty sure he saw the blast go through, the small shredding sound of ripped skin…yet…when he blinked Gohan shimmered and there was no hole. No proof that he had hit him at all. Vegeta grunted and flew at him again, sending a punch to his head strong enough to knock it off. But it met with the same result…Gohan shimmered and seemed to be okay. Gohan finally turned hate-filled eyes toward Vegeta, "Look what you have done! Three drops! That's how many hours I'm going to save to kill you! Slowly and painfully!" Vegeta sneered and they were both at it again, throwing punches and kicks with a few ki blasts here and there. After awhile it became painfully clear that Vegeta was wearing out. His punches did little more then scratch Gohan, his ki blasts merely flicked away. While Gohan…he seemed to be getting stronger. After getting three repeated elbow-to-the-face, Vegeta backed off a little, clutching his face. Gohan only cocked his head and smiled. "What's wrong Vegeta…? Are you tiring out already? Come on…my sister fought better then you do!" Vegeta exploded in rage and power, and flew at Gohan. "Stop." Vegeta stopped so suddenly, his body made the sound of a bow being shot with no arrow. Vegeta's power crackled and hissed around him. "Let me fight you coward! A true warrior-" Gohan cut off Vegeta in mid sentence," Don't give me that crap about true warriors! I don't care about pride and dignity! I'll cheat if I must. I only care about winning!" "And right now…I'm tired of this game. I've got things to do and people to see, and right now it's your turn to die." He said it so easily, as if he were proclaiming his name, and not Vegeta's death. "And I wasn't kidding when I said I'd take three hours to kill you…"
