Chapter 4 - Power Revealed
May 31st 771 1:50pm
The 2 fighters stood 10 meters apart. Although both of the fighters were the same age and members of the same school there were several striking differences between their choices of clothing. While Gohan stood confidently in a piccolo style gi, minus the cape and training weights, Yan was in a very simple black affair, having just removed his overcoat, having bluntly refused to wear the standard issue school P.E. kit. Both had looks of confidence on their faces but Yan's showed he was a little bit too confident, a mistake that many of Gohan's opponents had made, and all had quickly regretted.
***
Gohan watched an arrogant smirk make its way onto Yan's face as his opponent slipped into a balanced stance. Gohan however had quickly decided that he didn't want to risk drawing this fight out any longer than he needed to. Shifting from the carefully balanced stance he had used against his six other opponents he focused his stance completely on offensive techniques, moving his arms into a position where they would be perfect for executing quick powerful punches but would be no use for defence, relying on his speed and agility to get him out of harms way if needed.
Tien watched with growing agitation as Gohan change his stance, and at the same time felt the Sayjin ki gradually raising to the level that Gohan would use in a battle situation, not what should be a friendly spar. What worried him more was that Gohan's opponent's ki was also rising, and it wasn't long before both of them were well above anything Tien could hope to achieve.
"What is he doing, that stance is completely useless against a skilled opponent." Videl's voice, although seemingly critical was full of concern.
" I wouldn't say that, I haven't seen a fight yet where Gohan has lost when using this stance, and that included beating me, his father and his first mentor at various points. I'm more worried about Yan, as Gohan has enough knowledge and skill to allow him to make most strikes he uses with this stance lethal." Videl looked at Tien carefully as he spoke. Not many martial artists would complement another as strongly as Tien had unless they deserved it, and the fact that Gohan had said he hadn't seen Tien since he was 11 meant that as a child Gohan could beat a previous World champion, something that even Videl doubted she could do.
"Begin when your ready" Tien's voice now held a serious tone that had been absent in his prior announcements, having realised there was a chance that Yan would not be alive by the end of this 'Spar'.
As Tien called for the fight to start Gohan stood and waited. He could feel that his opponent was about as strong as his normal form, which put him in a bit of a dilemma. He knew that he might have no choice but to go super if the fight became to intense as he didn't want to risk drawing it out and bring Vegita into the situation, as the city was not really a place where Vegita's usual collateral damage tolerance could be observed. He was pulled out of his thoughts as he realised that he had subconsciously blocked Yan's first 3 attacks, returning his full attention to the fight.
Yan's next 3 attacks, against any other opponent would have won the match. But against Gohan they didn't even class as a threat as he dodged them and then blocked the swift kick aimed for his head. The next attack volley was more calculated, causing Gohan to regret the choice to focus on offence as it was forcing him to move around a lot more than he wanted. Deciding that he needed to take the offensive, Gohan stepped back causing Yan to stretch out to try and attack, which left a huge hole in his defences, which Gohan happily capitalized on, driving his fist fight into the other fighters stomach. Yan's entire body came to an abrupt halt and Gohan took full advantage of this, delivering a potentially lethal attack to Yan's neck before stepping back and waiting for his opponent to rise again.
The response was not the one he expected as Yan lunched a powerful ki blast from his prone position, hitting Gohan full on.
"Fool, you should of never given me the chance to." Yan's victorious tone was abruptly silenced was the dust cleared showing Gohan standing there as if nothing had happened.
"I'm truly disappointed, I though you may of at least qualified as a good warm up but obviously I was mistaken." Gohan wasn't the least bit surprised when Yan suddenly phased out, reappearing at the other end of the ring.
"Oh I can do a lot more than that, I just didn't think it was worth powering up for someone of your strength, but it seams I was mistaken." Against any of the other Z fighters the huge surge in Yan's power may have been enough to allow him to quite easily win the fight. But unfortunately for him, the young Demi-Sayjin standing before him hadn't even been phased by the tremendous jump in power his opponent had made.
"You know that against almost anyone else on this planet you would now be pretty much guaranteed to win, but I'm afraid against me you just don't cut the grade. Now observe."
Tien's worried expression intensified when he realised just what Gohan was about to do. "Oh Shit."
"What's wrong?" A huge explosion of energy drowned Videl's question out as Gohan's power up reached an explosive climax. Although he hadn't transformed, the increase in power Gohan had gained from the last few years of training meant that he was now almost as strong in his normal form as he had been during the period he was a permanent Super Sayjin. This however was the first time Gohan had truly accessed the power he had developed, having kept it as a trump card until this point.
"Looks like you're slightly out of your league kid, why don't you just give up while you still have the chance." The vortex generated by Gohan's aura caused the ground to buckle up around him and a strong wind to develop in the gym building.
"Never." Yan's word cut through the excited voices of the students and the noise created by the air moving at fast pace around the room.
"So be it." Gohan spread his legs apart and stared to focus the energy in his body. 'Just Hope I cam still do this properly, been a good few years since I've practised it.' Bringing his head up Gohan met the aggressive glare Yan was giving him and smirked slightly.
"KIO KEN TIMES 10." The area around Gohan exploded as his now bright red aura expanded, further buckling the gym floor and causing his hair to stand up in a style reminiscent of his super Sayjin transformation. Red bolts of energy intermittently discharged from his form, his body not being fully able to control the huge amount of energy now being focused through it. Both Tien and Yan stared at Gohan in amazement, neither of them having any idea that he could use the Kio Ken. Yan didn't have long to contemplate this fact though as he was brought out of his shocked state by the feeling of Gohan's fist planting itself firmly in his stomach. The blow knocked Yan straight out of the ring, and caused him to embed himself nice and deeply in the gym's main wall.
Gohan didn't make any move to check weather his opponent was still conscious and instead just stood in the middle of the ring, his aura still raging around him. His arms hung loosely by his sides as he focused on Yan's ki signature, waiting for the boy's next move. As Tien stood to declare Gohan the winner a blast of energy suddenly shot out of the hole, but not towards Gohan's stationary form. Instead the blast was fired directly as the young woman sitting next to Tien, Videl. The second he saw this Gohan knew that if that blast hit her Videl would be quite easily reduced to a pile of ashes, and Yan would be surly killed by the blast Gohan would use in retaliation. Gohan instantly disappeared from view, just before an explosion engulfed the area in which Videl was sitting.
Tien drew in a sharp breath as he realised what had happened, quickly checking over in his mind the members of the class, which he couldn't see. He came up only 2 short, and as the smock cleared it became apparent that both Gohan and Videl had disappeared.
"Stupid fool, I knew he would fall for that, but now he's dead, as there's no way someone could of survived that blast, now its just time to remove the witn."
Yan visibly paled when the raging form of son Gohan appeared 5ft in front of him, right in front of the remainder of the class as the unharmed from of Videl Satan ran through the door adjoining the Gym to the playing fields outside. It was at that point Yan noticed the ten-inch diameter ball of energy that Gohan was holding between his palms. As a look of shock made its way over Yan's face as Gohan smirked, uttering a single syllable as he brought his arms forward sharply. "HA"
