Gohan took in a deep breathe as he looked across at his female counter part. Gohan hopped out of his blocks charging Terra. She narrowed her icy gaze leaping into the air over Gohan as his fist hit the ground crushing where she once stood. She pulled Zyphon back swinging down with a mighty slash causing energy to fly from her weapon's blade.
"WHOA!!"
Gohan's eyes lit up as he dove out the way rolling across the water. Still aloft in the air she swung again shooting yet another ground crushing blast at him. Gohan back flipped landing awkwardly before regaining his balance.
"You could really hurt someone with that thing."
Terra only smirked at Gohan's playful comment as he set back into his battle stance. She floated back down to the ground leaping towards him again screaming out as she cocked her weapon back.
"Here we go!"
Gohan changed into a Super Sayain 2, catching the handle of her weapon as she drove it down at him. They both clutched their teeth tight as Gohan turned on his power even more in an attempt to drive her back.
"Yo...you're strong Sayain!!"
Gohan slowly began to sink farther back into the ground. He fired a kick into her stomach, breaking her concentration. He began to spin her by the axe around in a circle. She was caught off guard as he let her go sending her into the woodland area. She crushed several trees and large rocks before coming to a halt. Gohan began to breathe heavily as he wiped the sweat from his brow waiting for her to rebound.
"Man, she's tough!"
Terra slowly paced out of the woodland area strapping Zyphon to her back once more. She sneered at him setting into a fighting stance. Gohan smirked looking over at her.
"You sure you want to fight me like that? You said so yourself...I'm pretty strong."
"So sure of yourself Sayain?"
He set into his fighting stance narrowing his eyes to her.
"Yes, my father always told me to fight with my feelings. My feelings are telling me to get the stone to Alexia, so that's what I'm going to do, like it or not."
She gave a growl leaping from her stance towards Gohan, swinging with grand power, forcing him to side step her aggressive movement, she swung again over the top forcing him to duck under her attack. Gohan tried his hand at an attack, tossing an uppercut in her direction. She showed off her graceful agility, arcing her back to avoid Gohan's blow. She placed her hands flat against the ground, flowing her feet into his jaw as she finished her flip. Gohan fell back onto the ground as she reset in her fighting stance waiting for him to get back up. Gohan pulled himself up rubbing his jaw as she went on the attack, he awkwardly evaded the rapid blows. His wide eyes did not match her determined glance as he caught her fist pushing her back, she turned sweeping Gohan to the ground, causing him to fall back. He caught him self rolling over into an energy wave. His eyes grew wide as she caught it slamming it back in his general direction. He barely got away as he floated just above the smoking hole. She smirked as Gohan exhaled in relief.
"Gosh, you've got a mean streak don't you?"
Gohan floated back to the ground again as she pulsed her hands, waiting for his next move. They both exploded going into a dance of war.
******
Gannon slid back across the lawn on his back again. Goku fired another round of energy blast in his direction, charging up his energy with an angered yell. The grounds rocked with every blow laid to Gannon. Slowly the large brute was loosing his power to the stamina of the Sayain. Goku had gotten his fighting down to a science, shifting between Super Sayain levels to conserve strength. Gannon was in no means a match for the Super Sayain 3 technique without his magic. And Goku wasn't about to allow him the time to use it. Gannon leapt into the air barely pulling away from the attack. He soared through the sky, looking down at the creator. He growled deeply to himself as he looked down. His eyes grew stunned as Goku had once again gotten behind him in Super Sayain 3 form. Goku began to lay waste to him, pounding away with stern blow after stern blow. The blood flew from Gannon as Goku grunted with each massive blow he laid to his enemy's face. The planet rocked as the shots became harder and faster, Goku finished spinning into a round house kick that shot Gannon across to the garden. He crushed a set of statues laying motionless as Goku floated above him. He looked up with fear painting his eyes. Goku's gaze was hard and intimidating.
"N...no! I cannot be beaten by a SAYAIN!!!!"
Gannon took off out the blocks flying at Goku with a hard punch. Goku caught his fist. Gannon shuttered with rage and embarrassment.
"Damn...stupid...SAYAIN!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!"
Goku shook his head as Gannon tried to free himself from the grip Goku had laid on him.
"I don't understand why you have to be this way. Give up now, and leave here. No harm will come to you..."
"Yeah right, you want me to submit to you!?"
"That's right..."
"Never! I will die fighting for my mistress!!"
Goku wound up back smacking him to Alexial's feet. She clutched her fist as she too was loosing her hold versus Alexia. Alexia stood there with rage in her eyes as Gannon attempted to pull himself up. Alexial had suddenly found herself surrounded as Buu tossed Shibi at her feet as well.
"Milady..."
Shibi pulled herself up in front of Alexial. She gazed compassionately at her leader.
"We must retreat from here...we are beaten..."
"What!?"
"She is right Mistress..."
Gannon stood in front of her sensing the futility of the fight.
"...Perhaps we should stand back to strategize."
Alexial closed her eyes tight before pulling Gannon into her.
"My dear Gannon, I was always fond of you. I love you so much..."
Gannon's eyes widened in shock as she kissed his chest seductively, looking up at him before nestling her head into his muscular frame. He then found himself gagging from her powerful chain as she held him high. Shibi looked between them shocked.
"Milady!?! What has...*gag*"
Shibi too found herself elevated off the ground kicking and screaming for air. Alexia and the others looked on shocked. Alexial's eyes had turned from compassionate to cold as her two subordinates fought for their lively hood in her grip.
"But how quickly I get over it is astonishing."
She began to radiate a green energy around her as she placed her hands to their chests
******
"No...she wouldn't!?!"
They all looked on, gazing hard into Yema's television as Shibi and Gannon struggled for their lives.
******
The winds blew hard as Alexia looked on with Goku and Buu. Their eyes were filled with disbelief as the green energy consumed Gannon and Shibi.
"You're going to a better place now, as a part of the lord of all eternity.."
She pulled her hands back as their souls fled from their chest to her hands. The jewel on her chest turned green as they were sucked in leaving the bodies in her chains lifeless. Alexial could feel the increase in her power as she allowed the bodies to fall to the ground in front of her. She destroyed their corpses with a stern energy blast leaving nothing but a smoking creator in their wake. Goku boiled with anger. Despite them being his enemy he hated senseless killing. Alexial's power had grown, she could feel Gannon and Shibi coursing through her as she looked around at those who opposed her.
"Aww you all look so sad..."
"Alexial...that was completely unnecessary!!"
She looked at her sister with an arrogant smile. She began to rub her earlobe chuckling seductively. Alexia narrowed her gaze upon her sister once more as her twin spoke to her.
"Now you didn't expect me to just leave a pair of corpses laying around our peoples land now did you?"
"You know that's not what I meant..."
"Oh come now, they were your enemies, why worry about their short-comings?"
"It doesn't mater who they were, death in such a manner did not suit them..."
Alexial laughed hard at her sister before wiping it away as quickly as it came.
"How amusing, you are as big of a sentimental sap as the day we went our separate ways."
The sky ripped lightening again as they all stood there, staring each other down.
******
Vegeta's eyes narrowed he felt the increase in Alexial's power. He clinched his teeth tight, before turning towards the gravity room. He turned hard stopping himself dead in his tracks. He couldn't move, he knew he needed to strap on his armor and go help them, but something continued to hold him in his shadow's wake.
"Dammit! Snap out of it Vegeta!!"
******
Gohan's head flew back as Terra began to rock him with hard right hands across the large chambers. Gohan would eventually block one or two but still seemed to lack the ability and confidence to take control of the battle. Gohan swung missing badly as she lifted a foot to Gohan's stomach, shooting him through the thick crystal ceiling to the main chamber of the palace. Gohan caught himself pulling and crossing his hands over his head.
"Masanko.....ha!!!"
Gohan fired the yellow beam at his aggressor, clutching his teeth as his blast cut the air. Terra pulled Zyphon again, the grand axe appeared to absorb the blast. She cocked back swinging her blade causing Gohan's blast to fly back at him in a wiping slash motion. Gohan avoided the blast barely as he spun out of the way. Terra was on him again taking to the attack with another slice, Gohan blocked the attack only to go flying through the front of the temple, crushing the pillars as he bounced down the stairs. Gohan rebounded in time to meet her with a new energy wave, this time he connected sending her back through the palace. Gohan turn on his energy the best he could causing the planet to shutter violently.
"Alright let's see you catch this one!!"
Gohan hoped into the air pulling his hands back as the blue light formed in his palms.
"KA..."
******
Alexia turned sharply along with the others as they felt Gohan turn his energy on. Goku was the first to cry out to his son.
"GOHAN!?!"
*******
"I want off!!"
Bulma fell to her knees as the planet shook once more from Gohan's energy. They all watched with a hard glance at the young half-breed as they waited to see if Gohan would once more wear the shroud of a hero.
******
"..MEA...HA..."
Terra stirred slowly pulling herself to her feet before spinning Zyphon in her hands again. She came set as Gohan's power increased.
"MEA..."
Terra's eyes popped open as she finally realized the magnitude he was putting into the blast. Gohan's scowl deepened as he threw his hands forward. Goku watched on tossing his hands up.
"Gohan no!!!"
"HAAAAA!!!!!!"
Everyone's eyes widened as the blue light scorched from his hands making contact with her instantly. She never had a chance to avoid it as she screamed out in terror with the beams explosion. The entire area went up in light, causing the terrain to become decimated once more. The winds from the attack blew hard across the planet, while it rumbled causing chaos everywhere. Gohan floated high above exhaling deeply as the dust began to settle. He transformed back to normal as Goku appeared in the air behind him with Alexia tucked in one arm and Buu dangling from his tentacle. Alexial appeared just in the distance as well, starring hard into the destruction Gohan caused. She looked over at him as he floated weakly in front of his allies.
"I'm sorry it came to that Terra..."
Gohan bowed his head in the memory of the valiant guardian as he pulled out a Sinzu bean, recharging himself. He turned giving the bag to his father who followed his sons lead. Alexial inched her way nearer still gazing down at the hole in the ground Gohan made. Perhaps she might need to withdraw and strategize. Gohan pulled the stone out of his pocket holding it out towards Alexia.
"Here you go, now you can use it to finish off Alexial for good."
Alexia smiled as Goku and Buu did a victory dance. Alexial watched with anger in her eyes, That twerp!!
******
"Well done Gohan!"
Piccolo clutched his fist tight as the Son household exploded with cheers and high fives. Krillin grabbed 18 planting a big one on her, laughing in celebration. She blushed as she pushed him away playfully.
******
"Alright Gohan!"
Dende did a little jig in a circle holding Popo's and Yajerobi's hands. Koren rubbed his whiskers giving a nod of approval.
******
"That's right! Don't forget who taught the boy mind you!!"
Old Kai pointed to himself as the heavens gave a huge sigh of relief.
******
"Damn Monkeys..."
Frieza smashed his hand on a rock with a deep scowl on his face. He knew the danger of the situation. Even his life...well afterlife was at stake, but despite being grateful he hated the fact it was a Sayain. It was like Kid Buu all over again, yet another Sayain to save the day. Cell stood with Cold and the Ginyu Force only shaking their heads in disgust.
******
Vegeta took in a deep breathe replacing himself on the couch.
******
"Well it's time to finish this Alexia."
Gohan continued to hold the gem out to her as she slowly inched her way forwards, still slightly hurt from the battle. Goku placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Here eat one of these it'll make you stronger."
She shook her head.
"There is no need. Once I absorb the stone I will be healed as well as having an increase of power. I want to thank you Goku for your help."
Goku chuckled heartily rubbing the back of his head.
"Don't mention it!!"
She then looked into the distance.
"I'm sorry Lord Vegeta that you could not have been here for this day..."
"I'M SORRY YOU GAVE UP ON ME!!"
Gohan's eyes shot open as Terra appeared behind him strangling him with the hilt of her axe, dragging the warrior back to the planet. How she was still alive shocked them all, even Alexial had not seen the lightening quick movement of the guardian. The stone fell from Gohan's hands as he was lifted higher in the air. His allies eyes opened wide as the stone bounced across the ground. Alexial's eyes grew large as well shooting a look back at her sister. Alexia took off toward the planet as did Alexial. Gohan turned on his energy in an attempt to get free, it wasn't working as Terra increased the hold on him. Buu took off as well giving chase for the stone. Goku gripped his teeth as he placed two fingers to his forehead disappearing with instant transmission. Goku was the first to arrive, he picked up the stone gazing towards Alexia. Goku transformed into a Super Sayain, firing the stone to her before turning to deck Terra. She flew back as Gohan sat on his knees coughing while rubbing his throat. Alexia extended her hand again as the stone spiraled towards her. Victory was only a foot away...and there it would stay as Alexial intercepted the stone with her chain drawing it into her body. There faces dropped as Alexial began to laugh as the light from the eternal stone began to take over her body. Alexia landed next to Goku with terror written across her face.
"No..."
Alexial could feel the metamorphosis taking place as her wounds slowly healed up and her armor repaired. The design became more sleek as her shoulder guards shrunk to several piercing points. It turned from burgundy to red as a long sharp spike grew from the gauntlets like a sword as the stone set into her chest blazing with it clear sparkle. Alexial chuckled.
"Too bad...looks like I've got possession of the ball now..."
She laughed again as Alexia's eyes fluctuated in fear. What now?
