A/N- Sorry about the lateness about this part. I deeply apologize to all of my fans (both of them).
Gohan launched a punch at Eltor. Eltor didn't move, Gohan's punch missed him on it's own. It was obvious that Gohan was no longer capable of fighting. Gohan punched again in frustration. His equilibrium was out of wack due to the blood loss.
Eltor mumbled the word pathedic before grabbing Gohan by the hair and lifting him several inches in the air. He was about to absorb Gohan's power when 18 threw a Destro Disk in Eltor's general direction. Eltor tossed Gohan aside and bounced the beam back at 18. By the time the disk reached her, however, she was already holding Gohan by the neck with one hand pointing a ki blast at Gohan's head with the other.
Eltor looked amused, "What are you doing?"
"You can't absorb Gohan if he's dead, can you?"
"What's your point."
"Stay back or I'll kill Gohan. Then your trip will have been for nothing."
Eltor had to laugh at that, "You'll kill your ally just to protect your own life? I don't buy it."
"He's not my ally! Not even my friend."
"Then why don't I make you a deal? You can join into my ranks, we could use someone as reasourceful as you."
18 narrowed her eyes, "Not a chance, you did kill one friend of mine."
Eltor sighed, "Oh well. By the way, I'm infinitely faster then you. By the time you start to fire that ki blast I will have killed you and absorbed Gohan."
Eltor never got a chance to prove his point though. Right after thoose words he recieved an unexpected Final Flash by Vegeta. As the dust settled around Eltor Vegeta launched another ki blast. Then another. Soon he was launching millions of them creating more and more smoke around Eltor and, hopefully, dissing out more damage to Eltor.
Eltor appeared behind Vegeta while he was still firing. It took seconds for Vegeta to sense Eltor's ki and before he could turn around Eltor kicked Vegeta into an office building. Eltor charged after the fallen Vegeta only to get blown away when the pissed Sayjin raised his ki to a high enough level to destory the entire office building he had crashed into. Rubble flied everywhere, that which came near Eltor dissolved in his aura.
Vegeta charged at Eltor and assaulted him with a fury of punches and kicks. Vegeta was fighting like mad with no really strategy except the hope to kill Eltor before he killed him, "Rapid Fire!!!" Vegeta throw thousands of ki blasts at Eltor sending the villian back. Vegeta didn't bother waiting for Eltor to recover. Seconds latter Eltor was once again faced with a barrage of punches from Vegeta. Eltor smiled at the Sayjins feeble attempts to win this battle. With a flick of his hand Vegeta was down at the ground before Eltor.
The Prince's eyes widened. He had not even seen the attack. He was now flying up into the air, but not by choice. Eltor had kicked the ground below him and when he raised his foot it had taken Vegeta with him. As Vegeta tried to regain his balance he launched a Final Flash at Eltor. The King grabbed the ball of ki and tossed it back at Vegeta who took the full force of the blow head on. But Vegeta was not willing to loose. Being held together by sheer stubberness alone he threw himself down at Eltor attacking his enemy once more. Instead of just taking the attacks head on, Eltor decided to fight back. When Vegeta tried to punch Eltor in the face, Eltor dodged and punched Vegeta in the stomach before Vegeta had a chance to make an attempt at blocking it. Vegeta fell back in pain.
"Your a stubborn one aren't you?" Eltor taunted as he kicked Vegeta in the side, "I like that. Tell you want, you'll be the last to die." With that Eltor turned his back on Vegeta and started to walk towards Gohan and 18.
Gohan wasn't mad at 18 for what she did and even if he was, it wouldn't have made a bit of difference. He was too weak now to move or even speak. All he could do was watch as Eltor fired a quicker-then-the-eye-can-see ki blast at 18, destorying her. Gohan fell down with a thud. He was about to give up all hope when he felt a familiar ki...Piccolo-san!
Eltor felt the ki too and stopped to look up in the air, "That Namek trained you as a boy, did he not Gohan?" He smiled knowing the 11-year old couldn't answer, "I think I'd be interested in fighting him..."
Don't... Gohan though, Don't hurt Piccolo-san.... But Gohan knew his silent pleas would not help as Piccolo landed at the battle area. He looked frustrated. As if he was fighting a war in himself as he was preparing to fight against Eltor.
The conflicting emotions were driving Piccolo mad. He couldn't stand it, he felt good reserface in him and he knew he was going to die. He still had enough evil in him, though, that he wasn't all too happy about the idea of dieing just to buy Gohan some time. He wanted to run away, he wanted to protect Gohan. So many conflicting emotions. He wanted to kill. That was the only thing he could get both sides of him to agree on. Kill! He needed to kill! This was his driving force as he charged up to reach his highest power level and then some. He was going to make a legend out of himself. He was going to protect Gohan even though he knew it would do no good. He was going to kill because that was all he knew for sure to do. And he was damn good at it. He was an expert at death. Piccolo grinned, "Their will be lots of blood by the end of today. I hope you don't have a sensitive noise."
With that Piccolo charged flinging a punch at Eltor who blocked the punch with his left arm and punched Piccolo with his right.
No! Gohan pleaed
Piccolo withdrew a bit, getting out of arms reach of Eltor. He hadn't expected the warrior to be that strong, he hadn't expected to be loosing after a mere punch. Eltor shot a ki blast at Piccolo who rode it for a while before crashing into a building.
Stop!
Piccolo launched a Masenko at Eltor who dodged it and put a whole through Piccolo's stomach. He collasped. Piccolo looked up at Eltor who towered above him.
Don't hurt Piccolo!!
Gohan!
Gohan's eye's widened it sounded like Vegroren. But he had died....
Gohan, transform. Vegroren commanded.
I...I don't have the stregnth to.
Gohan, listen, I gave you some of my root powers. When you transform it will heal your wounds, just like when Freiza transformed his tail grew back.
I still can't...I don't know how!
Yes you can! I now I've helped you all I can...good luck Gohan
Gohan's eyes refocused on the battle, that short conversation had provided Eltor with more then enough time to kill Piccolo several thousands of times over, yet Piccolo was still alive. One of Piccolo's sharp nails attempted to pentrate Eltor's skin, the nail broke and the rest of his hand followed suit. Eltor jabbed Piccolo in the stomach then swatted him aside.
"I must say, I'm disappointed. I was hoping the one that trained Gohan might be stronger then him."
Eltor heard some rocks fall, not from Piccolo, he was still down. Eltor moved his eyes to see Gohan getting up. He smirked, "I must give you credit, you people don't give up easily."
Eltor frowned when the boy took a fighting stance though, He shouldn't even be able to move, maybe he's stronger then I thought...
"I...won't....let...you...hurt...Piccolo" Gohan gasped out spitting blood as he did. Everything was so blurry. He was so tired.
"What you mean like this?" Eltor raised his left hand to face Piccolo and a Ki Blast began to form from it.
"NO!" Gohan tried to move to stop Eltor but in his weaken state ended up falling to the ground at the attempt. Eltor grinned slightly and launched the attack at Piccolo spewing the Namekians guts everywhere.
"ugk!" Eltor exclaimed as he laughed wipping off a piece of Piccolo's brains from his gi, "I think I over did it!"
Gohan stood in horror. He was now painted with green blood being washed away only by his tears, "You...didn't stop" Gohan wispered still trying to gather what he felt.
"Ofcourse not." Eltor laughed, "Come on kid, want to be a hero? All you have to do is kill me." Eltor laughed, "Or die trying!"
Gohan glared at Eltor, well, tried to atleast but it his expression was far too softened and saddened by the loss of his friend to show the anger he was feeling, "You...kill...WAAAA!!!" Gohan feel to the ground crying.
Eltor lifted his hand to form another ki blast, this time pointed at Gohan, "So in the end, your just a hopeless kid. What a waste of time. I don't even need to bother myself with the amount of power you have."
"SHUT UP!!" Gohan said as his stregnth returned to him, "I HATE YOU!!" Gohan could feel his muscles tightening against him, "I HATE YOU!!"
Eltor lifted an eyebrow, "Do you have more power in reserves? Please, do show it." He said lowering his hand, "Maybe you can make this trip worth my while yet."
"AAAHHHH!!!!!!" Gohan transforms to a Super Sayjin 2 at an alarming rate and countiues to power up, "PICCOLO!!!!!!" His muscles countiued to tighten, some viens were popping. This was like no transfermation he had ever had to endure, "AHHH!!!" Gohan got scared. At first he tried to stop it but then forced it to countiue. Piccolo once said it would be alot easier had he just faced his fears...he would not run away, no more of his friends blood would be spilled. He would except whatever consicences such power contained. He felt his face heat up. His entire body expanded then, in a wave of ki exploded!
Eltor's eyes widened as this happened. What the hell was that?! Soon the dust began to clear and he looked at the boy. His wounds were gone, his body looked matallic now, silvery, no longer organic. He hair was golden, but looked alot harder then hair, he looked like titanium gold, the aura surronding Gohan was green like Piccolo's blood, and his ki felt like that of a humans. Eltor recalled the tellings about the 4 specises, but no, that was crazy, the future couldn't be prefixed, and besides, Gohan's power, while higher, was still far below his own.
Well, might as well test him Eltor charged forward and kicked Gohan in the neck. Gohan made no attempt to block the blow, and was not even fazed when Eltor's leg violently collided with his neck. After several seconds Gohan turned his eyes to Eltor, "Masenko!" Gohan cried as his Masenko collided with Eltor sending the villian back. Eltor eyes widened when he landed on the ground. He didn't even see the attack!
Eltor slowly got up and grinned, "So, then the real battle may begin."
Tien reached Kami's look out and lay down Trunks the second he did. He glanced over and Dende who was looking at him with curiousity.
"I don't know what that person wants, " Tien responded, "...how are the others?"
Dende looked down, "Krillian and Piccolo are dead. Vegeta is too weak to fight...Gohan's gained alot of stregth though...but..."
"But?"
Dende looked at the floor, "Both Gohan and Eltor are holding back power. I'm sorry but I have no idea how much. If I knew I could tell you...but even when they are fully powered up...well, let's put it this way, currently with just their supressed power they could both kill Cell within seconds. There for me to tell who is stronger...they're both just so far out of my league I can't even register all their power into my head."
Tien nodded then smiled, "Gohan'll win."
"Why are you so confident"
"He's the son of Goku isn't he? Goku never lost a battle."
"He lost to Cell..."
Yumacha was having a hard time supressing his power he didn't want to risk Gohan's life because he was too afraid to fight himself. Finally he stood up Even if I can't help, I'm still going to try!
Their was a silence between Gohan and Eltor as their standoff began. Then their was the noise of an explosion when their fists connected milaseconds later.
