As day 2 of the tournament got started the Sayians were in the afternoon fight. They were not being allowed to watch the other teams fight, nor could they learn who won the other fight. But this did not concern them. They figured they could handle anything that came their way. So after some mild morning sparing to warm up and a big lunch, they go into their shuttle to get ready for the next fight.
Once they got to they crater, they flew down and looked around a little. They noted a fair number of smaller craters were scattered around now. "Looks like a couple interesting fights happened. I would have liked to seen them just to see what happened."
Vegeta nodded but focused his attention in the Ga-nich as they landed in front of them. Vegeta just smiled, "Well shoot, I forgot to bring my bug spray today." The Ga-nich seemed to ignore the insult and broke into 2 groups of 3 and charged the Sayians right away. Gohan and Vegeta fell back and started to power up, but quickly found themselves being pummeled themselves from the attackers. The Ga-nich also had a number of sharp edges on their arms and legs and soon opened up a number of cuts on both warriors. The Ga-nich didn't really hit that hard, but with 4 arms and 2 legs they were just too fast to keep from getting in a few blows. After Gohan got a painful cut across his butt, his frustration exploded and with a yell he powered up and blew a wall of energy away from himself that sent the bugs near him flying. The Ga-nich quickly recovered and started back but it gave Gohan time to throw a dozen Ki balls at the bugs still beating on Vegeta. Vegeta was able to use that as a distraction enough to land a couple solid blows and get enough time for him to finish powering up.
Now both at full power, they took the attack to the Ga-nich instead and just about started using them like tennis balls as they batted them around the crater. Finally after a couple minutes of that Vegeta and Gohan tired of this and paused their attacks so they could catch their breath. The Ga-nich regrouped and came after Vegeta and Gohan with another attack, this time with them standing all together and throwing dozens of Ki blasts. The Sayians started dodging and if one got too close they would bat it away.
After a short time of this, Gohan yelled out to Vegeta, "Cover me!" and jumped back to stand behind Vegeta and cupped his hands together to start a familiar chant. "Ka…. Me…"
Vegeta grinned and started throwing Ki blasts of his own that went impacting on the one the ones coming from the Ga-nich and filling the air between them with smoke.
Meanwhile Gohan continued to focus his energy, "Ha…Me…"
Then Vegeta zoomed upwards to get out of the way. The Ga-nich caught a glimpse of Gohan through the clouds of smoke and quickly gathered their own power into an attack as well. Gohan finished with a powerful yell, "HA!" and thrust his hands forward to send a beam of energy zooming at the Ga-nich. They responded with a beam of their own that met the Kamahema halfway. But Gohan's beam quickly overpowered the other one and blasted its way through to where the Ga-nich were gathered. As it hit the source of their beam it exploded and the fireball sent everybody flying, even Gohan and Vegeta.
Gohan and Vegeta quickly recovered and stood there watching the Ga-nich try and pick themselves up off the ground. Gohan was still panting with the effort extended when the Ga-nich gathered together and started something strange. The jumped on top of each other to form 2 columns of 3 each, then with the first sounds uttered since the fight began they started to buzz. After a moment they started to glow and the glow soon surrounded them and merged into one big glowing ball. A wave of energy blasted out from the ball and a spike of fire shot straight up. Gohan and Vegeta looked on in confusion as the glow faded and they found themselves facing not six bugs but one warrior with an impressively high Ki. This new warrior looked similar to a blue version of Cell but had insects face and 4 arms.
Gohan and Vegeta frowned at each other and landed some distance away from the new form of the Ga-nich. "Hmm, I would guess a power level of about 45 million now. Another group power-up to increase power. At least he is not as strong as Cell, do you think we can still take without having to transform, Vegeta?"
"I think so, but we will have to be careful, he is stronger than either of us in this form, so try not to let him hit you too much." Gohan nodded and dropped into a fighting stance next to Vegeta as the Ga-nich jumped into the air and flew in their direction. Just before he can in range to start throwing punches, Vegeta and Gohan jumped outwards and went in opposite directions away from the Ga-nich. He paused a second then went after Vegeta, so Gohan turned and started throwing Ki blasts in his direction. The Ga-nich ignored the blasts and focused in on Vegeta who finally turned and met the monster head on. Punches and kicks flew fast and furious for a minute until the Ga-nich landed a solid blow on Vegeta's chin that stunned him for a moment. But before the Ga-nich could follow up, Gohan appeared and kicked him hard in the lower back. The impact knocked him to the ground, but he recovered quickly to turn and find a pair of energy blasts from Gohan and Vegeta about to impact on him. He just had time to raise his arms to a defensive position before they hit. Before the smoke had even cleared, the Ga-nich charged up and caught Gohan with a hard punch to the gut. As Gohan doubled over in pain, the Ga-nich snapped off a round-kick that sent Gohan to the ground and crashing through several large rocks. Vegeta meanwhile had darted forward and caught the Ga-nich with a double blow to the back of the head which caused him to slump forward.
Then Vegeta grabbed one of the arms floating in front of him and started to spin. After several rotations to gain speed, Vegeta let go and the Ga-nich flew into the side of the crater and was buried in the rock dislodged by the force of the impact.
Then Vegeta flew down to where Gohan lay, half buried in the rock. "Are you alright?"
A cough come up from the rock, "Yea, I took harder hits when Piccolo was first training me." Vegeta nodded and moved a couple pieces off Gohan and started to bend over to pick him up when his eyes suddenly went wide. Before he could react, the Ga-nich connected with a thrusting kick against the side of Vegeta's head that sent him bouncing across the ground, finally coming to a stop as he lay there unmoving.
Gohan jumped up and threw a couple punches at the mid-section of the Ga-nich but was knocked away by another arm. Gohan recovered, stopped himself and charged back into the fight and connected with a couple more blows before he was caught and tossed into a nearby boulder. As he rolled out of the rubble from the impact, he grabbed a large chuck of rock, jumped up and threw it at the Ga-nich with all the force he could muster. An energy blast tore its way through the thrown rock, disintegrating it and flying right at Gohan. He jumped out of the way, saw the Ga-nich coming for him and ducked into the explosion caused by that Ki blast. Zooming out the other side, he paused to charge another attack when the Ga-nich suddenly caught up to him and sent Gohan crashing to the ground again.
Gohan managed to keep his balance after landing and jumped up into the air. "If Vegeta doesn't get back into this fight soon, I am going to have to transform to keep going." He thought as is eyes drifted over to where Vegeta was laying. But then he suddenly froze, Vegeta was not there! Before Gohan could look around, trouble with 4 arms was back and Gohan took several more punches to the head and shoulders before he crashed to the ground again. Gohan shook his head to try and clear the ringing when he felt Vegeta's power start to rise again. He saw out of the corner of his eye that Vegeta had moved to a tall rock some distance from Gohan was focusing his energy into a ball that was collecting in front of him. "Got to give him time to finish his attack," Gohan thought to himself and then rolled to the side just in time to avoid having his head driven into the ground by a pair of fists. He shot into the air away from Vegeta, then stopped and turned around raising his hands above his head. Gohan looked at the Ga-nich flying up towards him and focused his energy, "Masenko… HA!" Gohan let fly with everything he had right at the Ga-nich. But the Ga-nich didn't even pause, he burst through the attack and landed several rapid punches to Gohan's gut and ribs.
Gohan cried out in pain as a spurt of blood came out of his mouth. Then the Ga-nich clasped his two top hands together and clubbed Gohan to ground hard. Gohan hit, bounced out of the crater formed by his impact and fell again. He lay on the ground trying to fight passing out but not having much as his head spun and his ribs cried out in agony at the pain of having several of them broken.
The Ga-nich for his part, had paused as he looked down at Gohan trying to decide if he needed to continue the attack when a voice came from behind him. "Surprise!" The Ga-nich spun around to see Vegeta standing there with a grin on his face. Vegeta took a short jab with his left hand into the Ga-nich's face and then dropped a couple feet to get a free shot at the mid-section. With a yell, he launched his right fist, glowing with the energy Vegeta collected for the attack, straight into the gut of the Ga-nich. Only the second time of the fight the Ga-nich made a sound, and that was a scream of pain from the force of Vegeta's blow. Vegeta kicked the Ga-nich to the ground and then gathered himself for one more attack. With a scream of pure anger he focused a powerful blast than threw the Ga-nich more than 100 feet into the air. As the Ga-nich started to fall back down, there was a flash and he separated into his 6 individual members again. They all hit the ground and lay there unmoving.
Vegeta also dropped to the ground, having spent almost all of his energy in that last attack. But he managed to walk over to where Gohan was lying on the ground, still moaning in pain with every breath he took. Vegeta slumped to the ground next to Gohan and started to reach into belt for one of the Senzu beans he was carrying when a small floating ball dropped down next to him. "Medical help is on the way warrior. And congratulations on defeating your second opponent." Vegeta then just slumped back and waited for the others to arrive.

Once a flyer arrived with a stretcher, Vegeta was able to stand up and walk over. A medical tech ran a scanner over Gohan, "He has several broken ribs, a fair amount of internal bruising, and some bleeding, but he is not too bad off. Good thing you have a day off tomorrow, he is going to need it to even get back on his feet."
Vegeta shook his head, "Take us back to our ship, there is a regeneration tank there that can completely heal him by tomorrow morning." The tech nodded and they got Gohan loaded on the flyer and headed off. Once they arrived at the ship, they followed Vegeta's directions and got Gohan put in one of the tanks and started it up. After that, Vegeta dismissed the techs and sat down outside the tank to rest while Gohan healed.
Vegeta dozed off and the next thing he knew, he heard somebody call his name. He managed to force his eyes open and saw Lord Ventard standing there along with a couple of his advisors.
"Ah, Prince Vegeta. I just wanted to come by and personally congratulate you on the victory." Ventard moved over to look into the tank Gohan was floating in. "The little one has amazing stamina, he took a terrible beating but was not willing to give up until he could do no more. I was most impressed. I trust he will be okay?"
Vegeta groaned and stood up to check the readings on the side of the tank. "He looks like he is doing fine. He should be out of there sometime in the morning and be ready to go soon after that. Meanwhile, send us supper in an hour and breakfast at the normal time in the morning."
Lord Ventard nodded and spoke to one of the others that had come in with him, "See to it."
"Yes, my lord." He turned to Vegeta, "Food for just you sir?"
"No, both of us. Gohan needs to eat as well, it will help the healing process."
"Very good sir."
Then Lord Ventard stepped up again. "We will let you rest, you have earned it after today's fight. Again, well done on the honorable battle." And then they turned and walked out.
Once they got to they crater, they flew down and looked around a little. They noted a fair number of smaller craters were scattered around now. "Looks like a couple interesting fights happened. I would have liked to seen them just to see what happened."
