Chapter 6 - Violence
Disclaimer - *Yawns* I really am becoming sick and tired of doing these all the time, but I have to. I don't own DBZ. *Yawns*
Hehe, I guess my cliffhangers are working! The one in this chapter isn't so bad, because I know you all hate cliffhangers! Anyway, when I meant 'disappeared', I meant like Gohan doing a Zanzoken. I just couldn't be bother typing that name. Anyway, thanks everyone who reviewed! Also, I knew that I said that this might take a while, but it seems I got it up as fast as I usually do. Hmm, I must have been very creative last night.

Piccolo looked about him frantically, trying to find Gohan's ki. Vegeta had already located it, however, and quickly turned Super Saiya-jin. He chased after Gohan, and the others followed suit.
Vegeta disappeared and reappeared just in front of Gohan. Gohan looked on in shock as Vegeta kicked him to the ground. Vegeta then spotted the sword which Gohan had dropped and caught it.
The others arrived as they saw Gohan crashing into the ground and Vegeta holding the sword. They grinned happily, but that was short-lived as they heard Gohan screaming again. A harsh wind blew over them, almost causing them to lose balance. Lightning streaked across the sky in its own silver glory.
Suddenly, the screaming came to an abrupt halt as if the one who had been screaming had lost consciousness. They all looked in the direction of Gohan's silenced screaming. None of them could sense his ki and were looking around frenziedly, trying to find where he was.
Vegeta unexpectedly groaned and doubled over in pain. Then he was sent crashing towards the ground. He dropped the sword and just as it was about to hit the ground, Gohan caught it. Everyone looked on in shock as they saw that Gohan had ascended to his second form. His blank, expressionless eyes struck terror in each of them.
Vegeta finally was able to stand up and stared at Gohan with uttermost rage. How could it be that this eleven year old boy could be so much stronger than he? It was extremely maddening, and Vegeta found himself trying to keep himself from launching a head-on attack that would surely be his demise.
Gohan glared back at Vegeta. The only thought that filled his mind was that Vegeta was in his way, and would have to be killed.
Kuririn then shouted, his voice showing obvious signs of terror, "Gohan! Calm down, please! We can unravel this problem, I promise!"
Gohan turned his head slightly so he could look at Kuririn and said, "Shut up! Shigata gai nai!"
He turned his gaze back to Vegeta and smirked, "Vegeta! You will never beat me!"
That was it, Vegeta couldn't restrain himself anymore. He started to attack Gohan head-on just as he had been planning earlier. But Gohan somersaulted over him at the last second and as he was still spinning, punched Vegeta in the middle of his back.
Vegeta immediately became paralyzed as the wind was knocked out of him. He felt the coppery taste of blood at the back of his throat, but swallowed it hastily.
Gohan who was still spinning, landed on the ground directly below Vegeta and still smirking shouted, "Baka! I warned you!"
Dende who couldn't bear to see Gohan acting in such a way cried, "Gohan! What's wrong with you?! Can't you see that we're trying to help you?"
Gohan's smirk vanished and his face turned emotionless. He gazed at Dende and said, "I don't want any help."
As Gohan was distracted, Vegeta gathered up his ki, put his palm out if front of him and shouted, "BIG BANG ATTACK!"
The golden attack rocketed towards Gohan, but he just stood there, waiting for the onslaught.
Piccolo then shouted, "GET OUT OF THE WAY GOHAN!"
The blast hit Gohan and exploded. Everyone except for Vegeta crossed their arms to protect themselves from the blast and closed their eyes. Vegeta stood still, smirking happily. The explosion became louder as a huge cloud of dirt spread across the cliffs.
A few minutes later, the cloud of dirt and dust deteriorated. Everyone looked to see if Gohan was still standing there, but he wasn't.
Vegeta crossed his arms and spat out the blood that had been developing in the back of his throat laughing, "You see bozu?! No one can beat me, not even you!"
"Hmm, you were saying?" a voice echoed among the cliffs, sending chills up everyone's spines.
Vegeta looked on in horror as Gohan appeared before him. To Vegeta, everything seemed to be in slow motion as Gohan advanced forwards; little, blue lighting bolts crackling around his body, his shimmering aura burning anything it came in contact with, his eyes showing a calm green like the grass of a large meadow, yet the startling blue of electricity and pain and most of all his face, unemotional and unreadable.
"Of course I can beat you, Vegeta! You are the one will never defeat me!"
Gohan plunged his foot into Vegeta's stomach, so hard that it went through and out the other side. Vegeta's eyes went blank for a second, as terrible pain flooded through his body. This time it was even worse than that time that Freeza had shot that beam though his heart. But he was unaware of this as he fell to the ground.
Piccolo, Kuririn, Dende and Mr. Popo were beyond fear as they saw Vegeta fall as lifeless as a rag doll to the ground.
Mr. Popo who not used to seeing such violent scenes, looked away even though the scene had been imprinted in his mind.
Dende was traumatised. Gohan never acted this way!
Kuririn was speechless. Even though he didn't really like Vegeta, it still wasn't fair that he was in such a state of torture.
Piccolo, although used to seeing such things, was the worst affected. Gohan, the very first friend he ever had. He was usually so happy and pacifist, and always listened to ChiChi even though Piccolo didn't agree that Gohan's rare fighting talents should go to waste. But now, he was horrible and twisted, as if his mind had been warped. He was no longer kind and warm-hearted. He was now savage and evil.
Everyone winced as they heard Vegeta's screams of pain. Gohan had gone back on the rampage and was pounding Vegeta mercilessly.
Piccolo turned towards Kuririn and said desperately, "What's wrong with Gohan Kuririn? I know he was dispirited, but I never thought it was this bad!"
Kuririn said, but keeping his gaze on Vegeta, "When I found him, he was in distraught. I then saw that Haiya-Dragon, the same purple dragon that Gohan has loved for so many years, was dead. I think that pushed him over his limits. Then, he had to cope with learning that he now had a totochan, and well, it just gets worse from there."
Piccolo nodded and returned his gaze on the torture that was currently happening.
Gohan was still tormenting Vegeta, who now seemed to be fighting to stay conscious. He was no longer screaming, but moaning in pain.
Finally, Gohan ended his seemingly endless torture and shouted at Vegeta, "Never get in my way again!"
Vegeta who was unable to speak, coughed up blood in response. Gohan scowled in disgust and kicked Vegeta a couple of metres away.
Gohan's orange gi, which ChiChi had made him a few days before he had run away, was no longer orange and covered with Vegeta's blood. His hands were also covered, as he had also been punching Vegeta's wound. He was in no remorse over what he had done either.
He looked at the others and shouted, "If any of you try to stop me, you will suffer as much as Vegeta. Then I will cause suffering to the whole world until you finally say that you give up! Make the right choice!"
The others gaped at him, except for Mr. Popo who after making a slight glimpse at Gohan after he had finished tormenting Vegeta, had not dared to look again. Even without looking, he could picture what Gohan currently looked like.
Gohan then heightened his aura, and flew off, still holding the sword.
Dende stammered, "He he's lost control over himself! His Saiya-jin side has taken full control!"
Kuririn shook his head and said, "Iie. No Saiya-jin is or probably ever was that violent."

Poor Mr. Popo! Hehe! Well anyway, 'shigata gai nai' means 'there's no help for it', or something along those lines. Please review!
