Lord Mal looks at the General standing next to him, "Still think Son Gohan is a waste of our time?" Lord Mal points at the viewscreen and a ki detector next to it, "this is the power that we detected 2 months ago."
The General merely nodded. He had hoped that the boy wouldn't display such power and that they could leave without capturing him. Not anymore though, the Demon Piccolo had proven to be powerful enough to bring out the boy's true power. And he was the one that would have to restain him throughout the trip to the Planet Yajito. He was thankful for his resurrection, but he had no wish to be a part in this operation. However he knew he would remain a part of this regardless and he had not grounds to resist Lord Mal anymore. Hopefully he would somehow save Son Gohan...his nephew.
Vegeta's punch missed his target and, as a consequence he recieved a Commander Soshito's knee logged into his stomac. Vegeta slowly backed away in pain and cursed under his breath as he did. Had he not have been so careless at the beginning of this battle he would have had an easy time winning. Instead he had underestimated his enemy and had now used up too much energy to put up a good fight. Vegeta tried to push away the pain as he took a weary defensive fighting stance trying to catch his breath while he waiting for Soshito's inevitable attack.
Gohan felt Vegeta's ki falling rapidly. In concern he turned his head to see Vegeta and Soshito exchanging punches, Vegeta was pushing himself to keep up with the still calm Soshito. Gohan would soon have to deal with both of them at once if he didn't hury and defeat Piccolo. Piccolo upcut an unsuspecting Gohan and then headbutted his stomac and countiued to drive down with Gohan until they landed in the ground, Gohan spit out blood on impact. Easier said then done, thought Gohan as he slowly got back up.
Lord Mal looked at the monitors and then at ki measuring devices, "Somethings not right."
That sent the General out of his train of thought, "Hmm?"
"Ever since Gohan got driven into the ground by Piccolo, his Power Level hasn't changed. No signs of increased fatigue, no signs of additional damage (although he has more cuts now), it's as if Piccolo's attacks are becoming ineffective."
"Sayjins don't adapt to attacks...maybe he can draw energy from the ground?"
"Not likely. He seems to be spending most of the combat in the air by choice. Plus this isn't like the ground on Earth, their is nothing to draw energy from. No, it looks like he's gaining power at an equal rate that he's losing it. Which is impossible. I mean where would the energy be coming from?"
Vegeta lay on the ground near Soshito. He struggled to get up, but both of his arms were now broken and the rest of his body was torn and bruised. He no longer had the stregnth even to fight back, but Soshito seemed to have been unharmed by the battle. Vegeta now understood that he never had a chance, Soshito delayed his inevitable win for the sake of his own immusement.
Gohan watched in terror as Soshito formed a ki blast mere inches from Vegeta's head. No! Gohan dodged a punch from Piccolo then charged at Soshito. The Commander merely smirked as he turned the now ready ki blast on Gohan.
"This can't be! Gohan's power has exceeded our initial readings!"
The General was just as shocked and for a moment stopped seeing Gohan as a helpless kid, but instead a threat to his life, "W-well maybe his ki has increased over the past 2 months?"
"By this much? No, plus it's steadily increasing as if this kind of power is nothing to him. He's...he's already a Super Sayjin...what...he can't be transforming again...so how is he getting this kind of power?!"
Gohan positioned himself in his midair charge so that his left foot would be the first thing to come in contact with Soshito. The Commander launched his ki blast at Gohan but the childs foot offered as enough of a shield that the blast didn't do so much as slow him down. Soshito opted to move out of the way and allow Gohan to come in between him and the injuried Sayjin.
Trunks-Chan stopped struggling a bit in Tiens arms. Man this kid was strong! It took all of his power just to restain the child from rushing off to aid his injuried father. But Trunks seemed to trust Gohan and now that he was inbetween Vegeta and Soshito, Trunks' struggling died down a bit.
Gohan closed his eyes and begun trying to find every last drop of ki in him. He had now positioned a Ki Shield to cover him and Vegeta from danger. Ofcourse seeing as he was convering most of his power for the task at hand, Piccolo and Soshito could break it. But Soshito seemed genuily curious as to what the boy was doing and not only didn't attack, but he ordered Piccolo to not attack as well.
Gohan breathed in deeply as he felt the power around him begin to encircle his body quickly. He was already generating quite a battle aura but now it was expanding rapidly. The high winds mixed with Gohan's ki flying everyone caused explosions and thunder as dust began to conceal Gohan.
"The increase...it's slowly down, I think the worst is- oh no!"
"AAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" the dust that covered Gohan was replaced by ki blasts flying everywhere, clearing the dust and causing explosions everywhere. Vegeta's limp body was blown away and was eventually stopped by Tien who was trying to stop himself from being blown away by the winds himself. Gohan's muscles expanded then the contracted, with more constrated muscle then before. If their was an onche of fat on his body it was gone now, he was all muscle. His hair began to grow more spiky and firm. It was now even higher up on his head. Gohan now had trouble focusing. He had only summonded this power a few times and he was not yet accustom to the power it yield. It made him feel light headed and the pain was almost unbariable. He felt as if he was going to die. He felt as if he had died. "AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
Commander Soshito had seen enough, he did not know how this kid had gained this kind of power, but he would not let him finish his transformation now that he knew how dangerous Son Gohan would be after it was complete. He launched a ki blast at Gohan. It bounced off his body and Gohan didn't even notice that the blast had even hit him. Frustrated Soshito tried to charge Gohan but found that once he was within a foot of Gohan's body the battle aura was too much to be beared. Soshito had easily defeated Vegeta but he couldn't even touch this kid!
I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Gohan tried to push the thought out of his head, he needed absolute constration, he just needed one last surge of power and... "AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" It was unbariable! He couldn't concentrate any longer. He felt the power slip and then...and then it was over. The transformation was complete. His body could now handle the unimaginable power that it had acquired. He had transformed into a Super Sayjin Level 2.
