Klikk breathed deeply, for two hours he had been trying to lay even a finger on Shikkan. Shikkan stood a mighty 8 feet tall (6 for how much his body slouched) and grinned at Klikk.
"You're getting faster." Shikkan said.
"Stop stalling." Klikk grinned in between gasps. He charged at Shikkan, and Shikkan made the move to go left but Klikk slid (feet first) in the direction, Shikkan stopped just short and Klikk swung at him, but Shikkan just did a back flip, and ran backwards.
"Not bad." Shikkan laughed.
"I'm not done yet!" Klikk shot a blast into the ground and it through him up and at the direction of Shikkan, but the warrior dove out of the way in a roll and Klikk landed back on his feet. Wasting no time Klikk blasted towards Shikkan who jumped into the air and the chase continued.
Gohan grinned at his Dragon Ball as he flew. He checked the Dragon Radar again, still nothing. He was happy to have gotten this Dragon Ball, but he needed to hurry. He didn't sleep the night before and he was feeling it, he had been flying for awhile now. Suddenly Gohan felt a rippling in a power level. "I feel something... Someone's level just went through the roof... wait a minute! Its only one... it feels like its Ven!" Gohan blasted away as fast as he could in the direction he felt the force.
Ven smiled as he blasted away at the mountain. The Dragon ball's power could not be felt amidst all the Ki blasts he was shooting, but he knew that it was in there, he had sensed it earlier. Ven saw something out of the corner of his eye, the glint of an orange jewel, that was what he needed, his Dragon ball! Ven grinned but he knew it would not be that easy. A PL spiked to over a thousand right behind him as an elbow was driven into his back. Ven went flying and crashed into the rubble that he had blasted minutes ago. Ven groaned and turned around to see Gohan, and he rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Klikk groaned as he lay down, his body spent, they had been training for hours now and he could barely move.
"Up." Shikkan gave him a small kick. Klikk grinned and pulled Shikkan's feet out from under him, causing the warrior to fall onto his back.
"I finally got you!" Klikk grinned.
"Ha ha." Shikkan said sarcastically. "Now lets go get some Senzu beans from Korin, you might need them.
"Alright, alright." Klikk muttered as he floated to his feet. "I can barely move."
"Good, now come on." Shikkan blasted off, with Klikk following slowly behind. The two went down the lookout before finally reaching Korin's town. Klikk dropped to his knees and let out a small cry."Wuss." Shikkan looked back.
"This from the guy who stays away from the Earth."
"My body can't handle it."
"And mine can't handle this." Shikkan groaned in annoyance and rolled his eyes.
"Korin!" Shikkan shouted, and Korin walked towards them.
"You called?" Korin smirked, seeing Shikkan.
"You have any Senzu beans for me today?"
"Yeah I got a few, you can have 3 of em." Korin said handing Shikkan a pouch. "Gohan told me you would be coming, he said you had a new student that is very weak."
"Weak!" Klikk got to his feet and shouted angrily.
"I said you were feeling better then you think." Shikkan smirked.
"Be quiet. What are these things anyway?" Klikk asked, carelessly grabbing the bag.
"Careful!" Shikkan snapped, taking them back. These are Senzu beans! The immediately refresh you and heal your wounds.
"Lemme at em!" Klikk bounded at the bag, but Shikkan moved out of the way, causing him to fall.
"They are for emergencies, now lets get back to the lookout."
"What?!?" Klikk gasped looking at the long flight back up and fell to his knees. "Its so far!"
"Stop whining and lets go!" Shikkan lifted Klikk to his feet and flew off, with Klikk slowly following.
"Time to fight!" Gohan yelled at Ven as he got back to his feet. Gohan gave a yell and he became a Super Sayjin, Ven gave a slight grin.
"Your tired old man, and unless you can fight quickly, you'll be zapped of energy soon." Ven's grin had changed to a laugh, and Gohan charged forward.
"KameHameHa!" The speed of the blast pounded Van back into the rubble, and when the dust cleared, he got up, weaker then before, but still grinning.
"Ki attacks will only make you more tired Gohan, your running out of time." Gohan ran at Ven again and leaped into the air using a flying kick on him, but Ven just flew higher and began laughing. Gohan began charging a blast his palms and Ven darted around the air in amusement. Electricity began surrounding Gohan and he screamed, turning Super Sayjin 2 and shooting his Ki blast. Ven was hit by the blast and was shot into the air, before plummeting back to the earth, slowly hovering right before he hit the ground, but still smiling. The reason was that right after Gohan shot the blast, he turned back into a normal Sayjin, and was now dead tired and powered down. "It will be fun to kill you, old man." Ven laughed as he flew at Gohan. The Sayjin tried to fly out of the way but Ven appeared before him, and delivered a knee to his stomach. Gohan cried and blood flew from his mouth, Ven grasped him by his face, and delivered a hard Right hook to Gohan sending him flying.
Shikkan and Klikk arrived at the top of the lookout to see Dende looking very worried.
"How has Ichizo's training been going." Klikk said, barely standing, and not noticing Dende's worried expression.
"Gohan and Ven are fighting!" Dende shouted
"Lets go." Klikk groaned and began walking towards the edge of the lookout.
"No." Shikkan corrected, "Klikk you need to rest up, get some sleep and gather your energy, then head into the room of Spirt and Time to train."
"But-"
"Klikk you will die if you go now." Shikkan said. "I will go."
"But Shikkan, you can't survive it."
"Dende, how far are they fighting?" Shikkan demanded.
"Well, with your speed about 10 minutes away." Dende replied.
"I can hold my breath for about 40 minutes." Shikkan thought out loud, I should be able to make it to Ven, defeat him, and make it back within that time."
"But I must help."
"Klikk, don't worry about it." Shikkan gave a thumbs up, and then began inhaling. He was able to do it for about 1 minute, and at that time his body got much thicker, about this size of a humans (but still taller.) Shikkan then flew off at a high speed, and Klikk went back to rest.
"You foolish old man, who will help you now?" Ven walked over to Gohan and picked him up slowly until they were eye to eye. Gohan, despite the pain he had just been through mustered up a smile.
"I'm not beaten yet." Gohan through a punch at Ven which viciously cracked his face. Gohan furiously pounded away at his opponent's head. After it Gohan was tired and weak, and that was it. After it all Ven was still grinning and he delivered a kick to Gohan's side, that sent him flying into a large group of trees. Ven charged up a blast and fired again at Gohan, however this time it was sent back at him through the trees. Gohan slowly walked out of the trees. What was left of his hair had now grown a lot and was yellow, but no standing up, rather it was flowing behind him. Ven knew enough about history, this was a Super Sayjin 3! Ven had forgotten about the blast and it now smashed into him, sending him back. Gohan had his finger at his forehead for a few seconds and then pointed it at Ven. "Special bean Cannon!" Gohan powered down and fell over, lifeless after he fired the shot, and Ven noticed it coming this time and side stepped it. It crashed into the mountain behind him, destroying it and sending Ven flying forward.
"Fool... I have won now." Ven stood up and walked to Gohan. He took the small dragon ball from Gohan's side and grinned. "You have no reason to keep living, you would only be a threat." Ven charged up a blast in his palm, but then felt an intense power! He spun around and fired in the direction, but from what seemed like nothing, the blast was hit back and smashed into Ven, sending him flying over Gohan and into a tree. The source of the power was of course Shikkan, going to fast for Ven to see. Shikkan stopped in front of Ven who was standing up. "What the hell are you?" Shikkan held his hand up to Ven's face and sent out a Ki Blast that shot Ven back, impacting the force on his head. Shikkan balled his hands into fists was in deep concentration.
'Thunder Cry!' Shikkan called in his head, as opening his mouth would be hazardous. Two red beams shot out from his fists and crashed into Ven, creating a large explosion. Shikkan realized his time was short, he was running out of air faster then he thought. He grabbed Gohan, who was laying on the ground and flew off.
Shikkan flew with desperation, it had been 34 minutes since he left and he was feeling it. He soon reached the lookout and dropped to the ground, gasping for air. Ichizo looked at him with amazement.
"You saved Mr. Gohan!" Ichizo ran and hugged Shikkan's leg.
"It was nothing kid. Now is Klikk sleeping?"
"No Sir, he said he couldn't sleep so he would concentrate, he said he could get his Ki back faster that way anyway."
"Wake him up, Ven has two of the Dragon Balls and there is only one left."
