P. Chi-Chi watched as her older self started to dissipate into the air, just as the white angel had. She looked down to her hand. It too had begun to dissolve into beautiful sparkles. She hadn't felt like she was leaving. Though, she felt as if she was in pure bliss. Like this place would one day be important to her and her family. She moved her hand away and saw something twinkling through some rubble below her feet. 'What's this?' She bent down and extended her hand to pick up the shimmering jewel that was halfway buried. She had to move away some debris before she could fully see it in her vision, but the reward was unimaginable. It was a pair of silver crescent moon earrings. They were a lovely sight indeed. P. Chi-Chi looked around. "The angel, these must have been hers. She must have dropped them while she was talking with us." She clasped her fingers tightly around her new treasure and slowly disappeared back into her world.
~~Room of Time and Spirit~~
Two and a half months later Hey, that dream sequence took a long time in the "Real world"
"Come on Minako! Come on Ami! We know you can do it!" Usagi sat on the sidelines with her friends, Makoto and Rei, of a very intense fight between her father and her other friends. It had been going on for about twenty minutes now, with only one of the parties getting worn out.
Currently, the two female fighters were trying to double-team the older fighter. Though, since they were beginning to wear low on energy, he was able to match their attacks without much effort. Goku looked over to his daughter while throwing Ami into Minako by her foot. "What? After all I've done for you and you're not going to cheer me on?"
Usagi giggled as she smiled mischievously. "Nuh-uh. You're not on my team." She pulled her legs up to lean against her chest as she wrapped her arms around them. "Better watch out."
"Huh?" He turned his head back just in time to watch two legs swinging backwards at his face. "Whoa!" His head was thrown back with a great force. So much, that he fell back to the ground. "Dang you guys. Where did that come from?" He grabbed his face and covered it with the full length of his hands as it began to feel warm from the hit.
Minako leaned over the Saiyan fighter and grinned. "You shouldn't let yourself get distracted Goku." With that being said, she kicked him in his side.
Goku, having expected a dirty trick like that, reached out and grabbed her foot before she was able to pull it safely back within her 'personal bubble.' "You should have known better then to do something like that. I'm always expecting it." He had fought long enough with all of the girls to know that they would always try stuff like that.
With one tug from his arm, Goku had Minako fallen onto the ground. He quickly rose to his feet and looked over Minako, who was currently unable to get up. "Hehe, too much for ya?" He turned around and directed his attention towards the blue haired fighter. "What do you say? You wanna continue?"
Ami nervously turned to her friends who stood on the sideline. She had been so worn out from all of the fighting that she had already done. "Uhhh..."
Usagi winked at Ami as she grinned. "Go Ami!"
Ami turned back to Goku. She wouldn't even give him the satisfaction of telling him that she would be continuing. Instead, she put her hands together and formed an aqua blue Ki attack. She didn't give Goku enough time to react to the energy build up before she fired it. Within the time that she had fired the attack at her opponent and the time that it was nearly close enough to hit him, she jumped off to the right in hopes to avoid any retaliation attack that may have come from him.
Goku easily avoided the attack. He quickly jumped to the air and began to build up an attack of his own, but was forced back down by a greater power. One in which he had not expected. His body slammed hard against the ground, causing it to shake. He grabbed the back of his neck, where he had been hit. There was only one person who could have possibly done that to him. There was only one person in that room with a power remotely stronger than his own at the time. "Usaaagiii!" He turned his head around to see his daughter hovering over him. She had had an unfair advantage over him at the time for she was still powered up to her fullest. Which was the normal power of a Super Saiyan, while he was still powered at a very low level, compared to hers.
Usagi giggled. She had found what she just did very funny. Actually, she was rather enjoying her newfound power. In order for her father to be able block any of her attacks, he would have to have been a Super Saiyan. "I'm just having some fun."
Goku stood to his feet. "I know you were. Though there is a separate time for fun, and a separate time for being serious." He didn't want to get into having to scold her so decided that he would have to change the subject fast. What she had done wasn't THAT bad. He was about to call off the spar anyways. He had other things that he wanted to do. His time in that room was nearly coming to an end and there were still many things that he had wanted to teach the kids. Usagi still hadn't reached her greater level yet. He hadn't really expected things to take as long as they had been taking, but it WAS a lot of power that she was trying to call out. He would let her body take as long as it needed.
He put his hand into a small brown bag that was tied to his sash. "Here, now we will start the real training for the day." He tossed a forth of a Senzu bean to Minako and Ami. That was just enough to replenish their energy for their next fight. "I want you all to fight me now. But, I want to let you all know. I will be fighting with the same strength as androids 17 and 18. I want you to know what you're up against. If androids 19 and 20 do happen to get past the Goku and Vejita of this time, then you will have to fight the other two. They are more deadly then anything you have ever gone up against. They never wear low on power. You can't even sense their power."
Minako consumed the Senzu bean, which was just thrown to her. She could immediately feel her energy returning to regenerate her body. "What will happen if we can't beat them?"
"I don't think you have to worry about that. I don't think the second pair will be awakened. You guys have enough power in you to beat them. Everyone else will be there to help, though, don't count of relying on them, as I have said before. They aren't trustworthy. I know you don't have to worry about Cell. He is still in his larva form. But, you will have to destroy Gero's lab if you don't want the Cell of this time to come to life." 'Hey, maybe Kami will stay un-merged from Piccolo in this time.' "So, are you ready?" He asked as he looked around to the eager faces of all the young fighters, who all nodded back at him. "Ok then. Let's start this thing." His power level was able to rise with just a short thought about it. His hair flared up in its golden color as he turned Super Saiyan. But he didn't stop there. The androids were much more powerful with the power that of a Super Saiyan. He continued to let his power increase, stopping it just before he reached level two. He relaxed his muscles as much as he could, being careful not to relax too much. "All right. I'm finished."
Rei stared in awe. She liked to consider herself strong, but not THAT strong. His power was incredible. She never knew that he possessed such power. Though she knew that it had to have gone on beyond that even. Usagi's power was nearly that much when she had finished with her transformation. "I...uh...I think we can do this." She turned her head to Makoto and Usagi. "Right girls?"
Ami analyzed his power in her head. She had not thought of any strategies that could attack anything of that power. She only knew of one thing that may work. And that was their combined attack that they had been working hard on. "Let's hope so." She stepped back. She had been too close to him for comfort.
Makoto, on the other hand, sort of liked this. She had been eager to know what she would be up against. She actually liked this idea. She would know what she needed to work on. Whether it be speed, or defenses. She lowered herself into her fighting stance as she glanced over to Minako. "Let's make this worth our while."
Usagi knew better then to jump into the fight, like Makoto appeared to want to do. She knew how her father fought. Not only had she been sparring with him for the past few months, but also she had watched him spar with her brothers for countless hours when she was younger. She knew how he really fought. Most of the time he held back when he was fighting with them. But this was to train for real. He was going to act as if he was one of the androids, to get them ready. She would have to take her time to plan things out instead of just going for them. Like Ami usually did. "I guess we're ready now." She made sure that her power level was raised to its greatest extent. She wanted to use all of the power the she possessed. Though, she knew it wouldn't be enough. He was far stronger then even she was at the moment. But that was ok with her. "Let's do this already."
Goku smirked. "Right."
The two parties glared at each other. Neither of them wanted to make the first move. Though Makoto had to hold herself back. She so wanted to just start, but she knew that if she had, she would be annihilated before she even got close enough to punch him. She knew what they had to do. They would have to fight using teamwork. One would have to do something to distract him, while the other would attack. They had been working on those kinds of attacks for a while. This was a perfect time to use them.
Minako grabbed Usagi's wrist, letting her know that she was ready to start. Usagi nodded. She kept her eyes on her father not wanting to take them off for fear if she did he would attack. "Ready?" She whispered. Without waiting for a reply, she figured that Minako was ready since she was the one who basically suggested they attack together, both girls shot out from their position and raced towards Goku.
Minako was in charge of creating a diversion. Usagi was stronger and could therefore hit harder at the moment. She was a valuable asset. Plus, Minako was slower. Which was what they needed. If Usagi would have been the one to create the diversion, she would have been incredibly fast. Thus making Goku use more speed too. Minako most likely would not have been able to keep up. This way, Minako would slow down Goku, while Usagi would have been able to use her full speed and hit Goku easier.
Minako slid underneath Goku's leg and quickly bounced back to her feet. She turned around, planning to kick him in the lower back, but found a fist planted firmly into her cheek.
Usagi, who was flying towards her father and about to kick him, stopped cold in her spot. Even she hadn't expected that much speed from him. She decided to ditch the kicking idea and went straight to her second plan. That was to retreat and get the others. She couldn't risk going in alone. It was crazy. "Guys...." She turned around and started to fly back to her friends.
Goku reached out and grabbed his daughter by the back of the neck. "That's one thing you just learned. Be prepared." With that, he flipped her over his back and bashed her body against the floor. "These androids are ruthless. They don't care about you or anyone else. They kill for the fun of it."
For once Ami didn't know what to do. Before, she easily made a plan to defeat, or at least, hit Goku with a few good attacks. But there was no way for her to match his speed. But she wouldn't give up. She would continue to analyze his fighting styles and hope for the best.
All of a sudden, she was pushed to the ground. "What the..." She turned over on her side to see Rei lying on top of her.
Rei sat up and looked down at Ami. "Pay attention Ami. You nearly got hit. Luckily I was standing by you." She stood up and ran off to go and help her friends fight.
Ami was stunned. She had never missed an attack before. Though, she was letting her mind wander quite a bit. She was too worried about finding his weak spot. She needed to just fight him. She couldn't do this in a real battle. She pushed herself off of the ground and frowned at Goku, who was currently, throwing and dodging punches with Makoto. "Yikes. Maybe I should think about helping." She quickly shrugged her thoughts about weaknesses off and joined to rest of the group.
Makoto dodged a punch to her shoulder as she stepped to her left. She retaliated by sending a punch of her own to Goku's hip. He blocked the punch with his forearm, while he dodged a kick from Rei to his head. He threw his head back and hit Rei's legs with it, while kicking Minako away with his left leg. Things went on like this for about ten minutes. Nearly anything that the girls had to give Goku, he blocked. Anything that did actually make it to him had barely any impact on him at all.
When he finally decided that he had had enough, he jumped away from the fight, leaving his five opponents down on the ground. He wasn't slightly worn out, but not to the point where he needed to rest. He was far from that. The girls seemed to be holding up. Well, as well as anyone of their skill level could. Their bodies were filled with blood from their fighting, but that was to be expected. He pulled his hands to his side and began to build up, once again. "Ka...Me...Ha..."
Usagi's eyes widened. That was one attack that you didn't want to be in the way of when the person you were fighting was much stronger then you are. "Everyone out of the way." She jumped into the air as her friends around her ran to opposite sides of the area.
Goku grinned as he paused his attack. "I don't need to target all of you. One is just fine."
Usagi knew that that was true. There was only one thing that she could think of that could take him out at that point. The problem was, getting close enough to do it. "ATTTACK NOW!"
Without any hesitation from any of the girls, they all attacked with their strongest Ki attack that they could muster up from their tired bodies. All except for Usagi, who had other plans. She watched as the four mysteriously different colored attacks made their way to her father, who just stood there. He still had his attack halfway powered up. She was certain that if they all hit at once, that he would be damaged, allowing her time to move in and carry on with her own plans.
The four attacks hit their target and exploded with a giant roar. A blanket of smoke covered her father. She giggled to herself. Without even taking the time to read his power level to see if he was effected, she darted from her spot with her hands out. She built up her own energy as she neared the cloud of smoke. Her hands began to glow with a fizzled yellow aura. 'Hehehe...let's see you block this daddy.'
Just as she finally reached her destination, the smoke was lifted without warning as a large yellow ball came flying out right for her. Unaware of what was about to happen, Usagi panicked and stopped herself short. Before she could fully turn around, she was being thrown to the ground by her father's Kamehameha. 'Where did that come from?' She smash into the ground, stomach first. "Ooo..."
Goku crossed his arms as he landed. He examined his daughter's arm and the new wound, which he just made on it. "Don't ever let me catch you doing that again! Had you tried to sense what I was doing, you would have known about that attack. You could have taken proper action and tried to avoid it. If I was your real enemy, I would have already attacked you again and probably killed you. This is not a game so don't act like it is." He looked around to the other girls who were now approaching the battlefield. "That goes for the rest of you too."
Usagi lifted her arm, to find that it was stiffer than before the attack. 'Oh great.' She turned her head ever so slowly to look at her arm, which was covered in freshly revealed blood. 'I guess I still have to fight like this.' "Sorry."
Ami smiled to herself. She knew what Usagi was trying to do back there. She was going to use her stunning attack. But why had she done it that way? She was able to turn it into an attack that could be thrown. Of course, every time that she had used it before I had failed. It just wasn't fast enough. Usagi probably realized that. And once they had him in her attack, not only would her attack eat away at him, but also they could possibly find a way to attack him without disrupting the attack. But the question was how would they go about getting Usagi close enough to do such a thing? He was too fast for them to get near. And whenever they did get close to him, he was always so quick to hit them away. She waited until the fight started up again to pull Usagi aside.
Usagi impatiently waited for Ami to tell he why she asked her aside. She wanted to get back to the fight as soon as possible. "What is it Ami?" She held her wounded arm close to her body.
"You know how you were going to attack your dad with your little stun attack?" Usagi nodded. "Well, that may be the only way we can get him down right now. He's too fast right now. Too fast for us to get near him. But, if we can somehow distract him long enough to use that attack on him, then we may be able to win this."
Usagi grinned. That was what she was going for before, but she had learned that it would take much more then four attacks to get him stopped long enough. It would be pointless to attack him head on all the time too for the fact that there would wear themselves out faster then they would be wearing him out. "We could try out combined attack."
Ami nodded. That had crossed her mind. "We should try it. Then, as soon as we release, you can teleport to him and grab him."
"Right. That sounds like a plan."
Ami looked past her friend to the other's, who were not able to hold up as well against Goku as they had when the spar first started. Every hit took its toll on the girls. "We should execute right away. You keep your dad busy while I inform the others of our plan."
Usagi nodded. "That's a good idea. I'll get on it right away." Usagi flew off in the direction of the fight. She knew what she had to do. Though, she didn't know how well her body would hold up.
She stopped and crossed her arms when she got in a good yelling range. "Hey you!" Goku finished up his roundhouse kick on Rei and turned around to look at his daughter. "Yeah you! Bet you can't catch me!" She stuck out her and made a face at him, taking off shortly after to avoid any sudden attack that may have been coming.
Goku grinned as he gave himself a power burst, flaring his aura around his body. He didn't have to chase her for too long. She had been much slower than he was and he could feel her power decreasing as the spar wore on. But, this is what he wanted them to go through. He wanted them to know what it was like to fight an enemy who was much stronger then them. Even though he didn't think they would have to, he wanted them to know. Just in case something did happen and the people of this time couldn't protect him. They had come up with some good strategies so far, yet none of them had worked. Later, he would let them know what they should work on, and what they should ditch.
He reached out and grabbed a hold of the back of his daughter's GI. "Caught you." He pulled her close to him and flipped her around so she was facing him. "Think fast." He raised his knee and violently inserted it into her stomach.
Usagi curled up in sever pain. Getting hit in the stomach was nearly as bad as getting her tail hit, which she had carefully tucked under her GI and around her waist. Though, a few times it had nearly been hit when she was fighting fast hand to hand combat with her father. "Owe...owe...owe..."
"Don't stop long enough to let the pain sink in! Try to ignore it!" He wrapped his fingers around her waist, raised her up over his head, and threw her down to the ground with all his strength.
Usagi tumbled to the ground, unable to stop herself for the force of the air pressing against her body was far to great for her to handle. When she hit, a hole was created from the impact with Usagi falling in it. "Why me?" She raised her hand to feel around the outside area of the hole.
~*~*~
Back with the others...
"So you guys want to pull a combined attack on him?" Makoto thought that it was a great idea. It was a good way to test out the strength of it. They had never really tested it out on much. Not anything with the power of what Goku currently had. It was perfect.
Ami nodded as she looked over her shoulder to the fight between Usagi and Goku. Usagi didn't look too good. It was hard enough for them to all fight him, let alone the fact that Usagi was trying to go solo. "Yeah. We need to act fast."
"Right." The four girls jumped into the air, giving it their all, and boosted themselves to the fight.
~*~*~
Goku threw Usagi threw Usagi away from him, after she finally made it close to him. But not close enough to touch him. He raced past Usagi and hit her back the other way once she reached him, doing the same on the other side of her. He went back and fourth like this until he felt the other fighters' energy behind him. He looked at them and smiled. "Hi ladies."
Usagi was finally allowed to touch the ground again. She had a splitting headache and her skin was raw all over from the constant beatings in which she had just received. "Whoa, I don't feel so good anymore." She lay on the ground with all of her limbs spread out as far away from her body as they could get. Her tail had even loosened from its hold around her body.
Minako could sympathize for Usagi. She had been through her fair share of hits that day. "Come on Usagi. We need to do this."
Goku smirked in fascination. "What are you guys planning?" He couldn't wait to see what they had up their sleeves.
Usagi slowly rose to her feet. She hadn't really wanted to, but she needed to continue. She was determined to win this. And besides, if this were a real fight, she wouldn't have been allowed to just give up whenever she wanted to. "Right. I guess we do." She slowly staggered over to her fellow fighters, careful not to walk to close to her father. She was a bit surprised to see that he didn't attack her.
She sighed as she let herself lean against Makoto. "Wow. I'm really tired now."
"Don't give up." Makoto turned her head to Usagi's ear. "You're the most important part of this attack. It will be over soon.
That was motivation enough for Usagi. She had had enough of this. Anything to get it over with was great for her. "Ok. Let's get this done." She placed both of her hands standing straight up in front of her, much like the other girls did. Their hands created a ring with a large opening on one side of it. This is where they would concentrate all of their energy.
Goku knew right off the bat what they were doing. He had seen them practicing it many times before. But, he decided to let them proceed with it. "Let's speed things up girls. Enemies don't want to wait forever to be attacked. They would rather do the attacking." He watched as a massive energy ball was formed in the opening. Each of the girls' colors mixed in to make a spiral effect.
They all pulled back on the attack. Rei looked around to her friends. She didn't know how much longer they could hold it. It was too powerful for them to hold. They were running low on energy. "On three. One...two..."
"THREE!" Usagi released her part of the blast at the same exact time as the others, which was exactly what they had been practicing.
Goku couldn't believe the amount of energy that it held. It was indeed a great attack, but it wasn't completely flawless. One of its major flaws being the amount of time it took to build it up. Since it did take so much time, he was able to prepare himself to move whenever it began to move. Which is precisely what he did. He didn't wait around for it to get him. But, before he totally got out of the area, he stopped to attack the group, which was his downfall.
Usagi teleported to her father and grabbed onto his back. "I have you now!" She began concentrating the last of her energy on her special attack.
'Crap.' "Get off me." Goku grabbed a hold of Usagi's wounded arm, on purpose. He knew that she would let go if he did. He knew exactly what she was going to do.
As much as it hurt, Usagi didn't budge her arm. She had to bite her lower lip in order to keep her grip. She remembered what her father had just told her not ten minutes ago about not letting the pain sink in. Her hands began to glow again. This time, they were firmly placed around their target.
Goku tried to pry his daughter's hands off of him, but it was even harder since she was on his back. He couldn't reach her very well. "Great. Just great. The one thing NO ONE can guard against."
Usagi giggled. "That's right." She could feel her energy leaving her body as it was distributed all around her father's. But, something was wrong. He was still moving all about. His body was covered with her energy, yet, he was still moving. She closed her eyes. 'He's too strong. I need more power. But, I'm all tapped out.'
Goku began to thrash his body all about. He didn't want her to somehow get a power boost from anywhere. He didn't enjoy being in this attack. But his power seemed to be much stronger then hers. Too strong for her to make an effective attack. Her finger's dug into his skin as she tightened her grip. He felt her tail wrap around his leg for extra leverage. Without even thinking about what she was doing, Usagi began to raise her powerlevel higher and higher. Goku felt it. He was sure that the others had felt it too by they way they were looking at him. 'What? What if she hurts herself again?' "Stop."
Usagi opened her eyes. "Stop what?" She raised it even higher. She didn't know what he was talking about. She didn't know what she was doing. And if he was referring to her attack, he was nuts if he thought he was going to stop her by telling her to stop.
Goku began to get worried. Though her body didn't seem to be reacting, he wasn't totally sure. He looked over his shoulder and gasped at what he saw. Usagi's hair flickered silver over and over. "Oh boy..." He looked down to her tail around his leg, it too was turning sliver. "Do you realize what you're doing?"
Usagi unconsciously raised the amount of power that she was putting into her attack. Surprisingly, she hadn't even felt the power change. "Yes."
Goku sighed. Obviously she didn't otherwise she would be freaking out and jumping for joy. He looked back at her again once he felt a major power increase from no where. 'Good god.' Her hair was totally silver. Like the day he had arrived. It was so bright that he had to squint just to look at her. "Usagi you did it." And that's when it happened. He could no longer move.
Usagi smiled when he stopped his motion. Her attack had finally worked. But how? She pulled her head back and got a good look at her father's body and could have screamed. "Why is it silver?" She let go of her father and pulled back, while looking at her hands in confusion. "What the..." Her aura was silver too.
Goku smiled as he turned around. He hadn't been in that attack for too long. He still fully had his energy. "Congratulations Usagi. You've just reached your level of Super Saiyan."
Usagi's eyes widened. "I what?" She looked over to her hair. It was pure silver. "Whoa...I did, didn't I?" She looked up at her father, her face consumed with a smile. "THIS IS SO COOL!"
Goku chuckled. 'I knew she didn't know what she was doing.' He powered back down to his normal level. "Very good. I'm proud of you. You've accomplished a lot in the past few months here. Your body is fully able to hold that power now. You learned to use it through training and not hate or fear. Your body is ready for it. It wasn't forced upon it. That's why you are able to use it." Usagi began to power down too. "Hey wait, don't do that. I want you to get a feel for the power. I want you to get used to it for a while."
Usagi powered back up. "Sorry."
Goku landed to the ground. He motioned Usagi to do the same. "It's ok. I'm not mad." He looked around to the girls on the other side of him. "All of you gather around. I need to talk to you." He watched as they complied with what he told them to do. "Ok, well, as you know, Usagi has reached her so far, highest potential. But, that's not what I need to talk to you about. It's about our fight we just had." He could tell that all of the girls were very tired and worn out but he couldn't give them Senzu beans. It was important for them to learn to heal on their own. "Now then, you guys fought very well. Though you have a lot of work to do before you meet the androids. That's not bad though. It's expected that you aren't up to their level. Some things you need to work on, I don't have too many problems with what you're doing. I pointed out a few things during the fight, work on them. My major beef is that combined attack. Though it is strong it takes up a lot of time. Too much time actually. It also leaves you guys together for too long in one space. That makes it easier for the enemy to attack you all at once. It's better to be spread out. I know how much you guys love that attack, but it's dangerous to you as fighters and will hold you back. But I was VERY impressed with your overall skill." He looked to Usagi. She had taken some of the hardest beatings. "Sorry about that kiddo."
Usagi smiled. Though it hurt a lot, she knew it was to help her. "That's ok daddy."
(Ok, that's it for this part. What did you think? Was it good, or bad? Please tell me. Thank you!)
~~Room of Time and Spirit~~
Two and a half months later Hey, that dream sequence took a long time in the "Real world"
"Come on Minako! Come on Ami! We know you can do it!" Usagi sat on the sidelines with her friends, Makoto and Rei, of a very intense fight between her father and her other friends. It had been going on for about twenty minutes now, with only one of the parties getting worn out.
Currently, the two female fighters were trying to double-team the older fighter. Though, since they were beginning to wear low on energy, he was able to match their attacks without much effort. Goku looked over to his daughter while throwing Ami into Minako by her foot. "What? After all I've done for you and you're not going to cheer me on?"
Usagi giggled as she smiled mischievously. "Nuh-uh. You're not on my team." She pulled her legs up to lean against her chest as she wrapped her arms around them. "Better watch out."
"Huh?" He turned his head back just in time to watch two legs swinging backwards at his face. "Whoa!" His head was thrown back with a great force. So much, that he fell back to the ground. "Dang you guys. Where did that come from?" He grabbed his face and covered it with the full length of his hands as it began to feel warm from the hit.
Minako leaned over the Saiyan fighter and grinned. "You shouldn't let yourself get distracted Goku." With that being said, she kicked him in his side.
Goku, having expected a dirty trick like that, reached out and grabbed her foot before she was able to pull it safely back within her 'personal bubble.' "You should have known better then to do something like that. I'm always expecting it." He had fought long enough with all of the girls to know that they would always try stuff like that.
With one tug from his arm, Goku had Minako fallen onto the ground. He quickly rose to his feet and looked over Minako, who was currently unable to get up. "Hehe, too much for ya?" He turned around and directed his attention towards the blue haired fighter. "What do you say? You wanna continue?"
Ami nervously turned to her friends who stood on the sideline. She had been so worn out from all of the fighting that she had already done. "Uhhh..."
Usagi winked at Ami as she grinned. "Go Ami!"
Ami turned back to Goku. She wouldn't even give him the satisfaction of telling him that she would be continuing. Instead, she put her hands together and formed an aqua blue Ki attack. She didn't give Goku enough time to react to the energy build up before she fired it. Within the time that she had fired the attack at her opponent and the time that it was nearly close enough to hit him, she jumped off to the right in hopes to avoid any retaliation attack that may have come from him.
Goku easily avoided the attack. He quickly jumped to the air and began to build up an attack of his own, but was forced back down by a greater power. One in which he had not expected. His body slammed hard against the ground, causing it to shake. He grabbed the back of his neck, where he had been hit. There was only one person who could have possibly done that to him. There was only one person in that room with a power remotely stronger than his own at the time. "Usaaagiii!" He turned his head around to see his daughter hovering over him. She had had an unfair advantage over him at the time for she was still powered up to her fullest. Which was the normal power of a Super Saiyan, while he was still powered at a very low level, compared to hers.
Usagi giggled. She had found what she just did very funny. Actually, she was rather enjoying her newfound power. In order for her father to be able block any of her attacks, he would have to have been a Super Saiyan. "I'm just having some fun."
Goku stood to his feet. "I know you were. Though there is a separate time for fun, and a separate time for being serious." He didn't want to get into having to scold her so decided that he would have to change the subject fast. What she had done wasn't THAT bad. He was about to call off the spar anyways. He had other things that he wanted to do. His time in that room was nearly coming to an end and there were still many things that he had wanted to teach the kids. Usagi still hadn't reached her greater level yet. He hadn't really expected things to take as long as they had been taking, but it WAS a lot of power that she was trying to call out. He would let her body take as long as it needed.
He put his hand into a small brown bag that was tied to his sash. "Here, now we will start the real training for the day." He tossed a forth of a Senzu bean to Minako and Ami. That was just enough to replenish their energy for their next fight. "I want you all to fight me now. But, I want to let you all know. I will be fighting with the same strength as androids 17 and 18. I want you to know what you're up against. If androids 19 and 20 do happen to get past the Goku and Vejita of this time, then you will have to fight the other two. They are more deadly then anything you have ever gone up against. They never wear low on power. You can't even sense their power."
Minako consumed the Senzu bean, which was just thrown to her. She could immediately feel her energy returning to regenerate her body. "What will happen if we can't beat them?"
"I don't think you have to worry about that. I don't think the second pair will be awakened. You guys have enough power in you to beat them. Everyone else will be there to help, though, don't count of relying on them, as I have said before. They aren't trustworthy. I know you don't have to worry about Cell. He is still in his larva form. But, you will have to destroy Gero's lab if you don't want the Cell of this time to come to life." 'Hey, maybe Kami will stay un-merged from Piccolo in this time.' "So, are you ready?" He asked as he looked around to the eager faces of all the young fighters, who all nodded back at him. "Ok then. Let's start this thing." His power level was able to rise with just a short thought about it. His hair flared up in its golden color as he turned Super Saiyan. But he didn't stop there. The androids were much more powerful with the power that of a Super Saiyan. He continued to let his power increase, stopping it just before he reached level two. He relaxed his muscles as much as he could, being careful not to relax too much. "All right. I'm finished."
Rei stared in awe. She liked to consider herself strong, but not THAT strong. His power was incredible. She never knew that he possessed such power. Though she knew that it had to have gone on beyond that even. Usagi's power was nearly that much when she had finished with her transformation. "I...uh...I think we can do this." She turned her head to Makoto and Usagi. "Right girls?"
Ami analyzed his power in her head. She had not thought of any strategies that could attack anything of that power. She only knew of one thing that may work. And that was their combined attack that they had been working hard on. "Let's hope so." She stepped back. She had been too close to him for comfort.
Makoto, on the other hand, sort of liked this. She had been eager to know what she would be up against. She actually liked this idea. She would know what she needed to work on. Whether it be speed, or defenses. She lowered herself into her fighting stance as she glanced over to Minako. "Let's make this worth our while."
Usagi knew better then to jump into the fight, like Makoto appeared to want to do. She knew how her father fought. Not only had she been sparring with him for the past few months, but also she had watched him spar with her brothers for countless hours when she was younger. She knew how he really fought. Most of the time he held back when he was fighting with them. But this was to train for real. He was going to act as if he was one of the androids, to get them ready. She would have to take her time to plan things out instead of just going for them. Like Ami usually did. "I guess we're ready now." She made sure that her power level was raised to its greatest extent. She wanted to use all of the power the she possessed. Though, she knew it wouldn't be enough. He was far stronger then even she was at the moment. But that was ok with her. "Let's do this already."
Goku smirked. "Right."
The two parties glared at each other. Neither of them wanted to make the first move. Though Makoto had to hold herself back. She so wanted to just start, but she knew that if she had, she would be annihilated before she even got close enough to punch him. She knew what they had to do. They would have to fight using teamwork. One would have to do something to distract him, while the other would attack. They had been working on those kinds of attacks for a while. This was a perfect time to use them.
Minako grabbed Usagi's wrist, letting her know that she was ready to start. Usagi nodded. She kept her eyes on her father not wanting to take them off for fear if she did he would attack. "Ready?" She whispered. Without waiting for a reply, she figured that Minako was ready since she was the one who basically suggested they attack together, both girls shot out from their position and raced towards Goku.
Minako was in charge of creating a diversion. Usagi was stronger and could therefore hit harder at the moment. She was a valuable asset. Plus, Minako was slower. Which was what they needed. If Usagi would have been the one to create the diversion, she would have been incredibly fast. Thus making Goku use more speed too. Minako most likely would not have been able to keep up. This way, Minako would slow down Goku, while Usagi would have been able to use her full speed and hit Goku easier.
Minako slid underneath Goku's leg and quickly bounced back to her feet. She turned around, planning to kick him in the lower back, but found a fist planted firmly into her cheek.
Usagi, who was flying towards her father and about to kick him, stopped cold in her spot. Even she hadn't expected that much speed from him. She decided to ditch the kicking idea and went straight to her second plan. That was to retreat and get the others. She couldn't risk going in alone. It was crazy. "Guys...." She turned around and started to fly back to her friends.
Goku reached out and grabbed his daughter by the back of the neck. "That's one thing you just learned. Be prepared." With that, he flipped her over his back and bashed her body against the floor. "These androids are ruthless. They don't care about you or anyone else. They kill for the fun of it."
For once Ami didn't know what to do. Before, she easily made a plan to defeat, or at least, hit Goku with a few good attacks. But there was no way for her to match his speed. But she wouldn't give up. She would continue to analyze his fighting styles and hope for the best.
All of a sudden, she was pushed to the ground. "What the..." She turned over on her side to see Rei lying on top of her.
Rei sat up and looked down at Ami. "Pay attention Ami. You nearly got hit. Luckily I was standing by you." She stood up and ran off to go and help her friends fight.
Ami was stunned. She had never missed an attack before. Though, she was letting her mind wander quite a bit. She was too worried about finding his weak spot. She needed to just fight him. She couldn't do this in a real battle. She pushed herself off of the ground and frowned at Goku, who was currently, throwing and dodging punches with Makoto. "Yikes. Maybe I should think about helping." She quickly shrugged her thoughts about weaknesses off and joined to rest of the group.
Makoto dodged a punch to her shoulder as she stepped to her left. She retaliated by sending a punch of her own to Goku's hip. He blocked the punch with his forearm, while he dodged a kick from Rei to his head. He threw his head back and hit Rei's legs with it, while kicking Minako away with his left leg. Things went on like this for about ten minutes. Nearly anything that the girls had to give Goku, he blocked. Anything that did actually make it to him had barely any impact on him at all.
When he finally decided that he had had enough, he jumped away from the fight, leaving his five opponents down on the ground. He wasn't slightly worn out, but not to the point where he needed to rest. He was far from that. The girls seemed to be holding up. Well, as well as anyone of their skill level could. Their bodies were filled with blood from their fighting, but that was to be expected. He pulled his hands to his side and began to build up, once again. "Ka...Me...Ha..."
Usagi's eyes widened. That was one attack that you didn't want to be in the way of when the person you were fighting was much stronger then you are. "Everyone out of the way." She jumped into the air as her friends around her ran to opposite sides of the area.
Goku grinned as he paused his attack. "I don't need to target all of you. One is just fine."
Usagi knew that that was true. There was only one thing that she could think of that could take him out at that point. The problem was, getting close enough to do it. "ATTTACK NOW!"
Without any hesitation from any of the girls, they all attacked with their strongest Ki attack that they could muster up from their tired bodies. All except for Usagi, who had other plans. She watched as the four mysteriously different colored attacks made their way to her father, who just stood there. He still had his attack halfway powered up. She was certain that if they all hit at once, that he would be damaged, allowing her time to move in and carry on with her own plans.
The four attacks hit their target and exploded with a giant roar. A blanket of smoke covered her father. She giggled to herself. Without even taking the time to read his power level to see if he was effected, she darted from her spot with her hands out. She built up her own energy as she neared the cloud of smoke. Her hands began to glow with a fizzled yellow aura. 'Hehehe...let's see you block this daddy.'
Just as she finally reached her destination, the smoke was lifted without warning as a large yellow ball came flying out right for her. Unaware of what was about to happen, Usagi panicked and stopped herself short. Before she could fully turn around, she was being thrown to the ground by her father's Kamehameha. 'Where did that come from?' She smash into the ground, stomach first. "Ooo..."
Goku crossed his arms as he landed. He examined his daughter's arm and the new wound, which he just made on it. "Don't ever let me catch you doing that again! Had you tried to sense what I was doing, you would have known about that attack. You could have taken proper action and tried to avoid it. If I was your real enemy, I would have already attacked you again and probably killed you. This is not a game so don't act like it is." He looked around to the other girls who were now approaching the battlefield. "That goes for the rest of you too."
Usagi lifted her arm, to find that it was stiffer than before the attack. 'Oh great.' She turned her head ever so slowly to look at her arm, which was covered in freshly revealed blood. 'I guess I still have to fight like this.' "Sorry."
Ami smiled to herself. She knew what Usagi was trying to do back there. She was going to use her stunning attack. But why had she done it that way? She was able to turn it into an attack that could be thrown. Of course, every time that she had used it before I had failed. It just wasn't fast enough. Usagi probably realized that. And once they had him in her attack, not only would her attack eat away at him, but also they could possibly find a way to attack him without disrupting the attack. But the question was how would they go about getting Usagi close enough to do such a thing? He was too fast for them to get near. And whenever they did get close to him, he was always so quick to hit them away. She waited until the fight started up again to pull Usagi aside.
Usagi impatiently waited for Ami to tell he why she asked her aside. She wanted to get back to the fight as soon as possible. "What is it Ami?" She held her wounded arm close to her body.
"You know how you were going to attack your dad with your little stun attack?" Usagi nodded. "Well, that may be the only way we can get him down right now. He's too fast right now. Too fast for us to get near him. But, if we can somehow distract him long enough to use that attack on him, then we may be able to win this."
Usagi grinned. That was what she was going for before, but she had learned that it would take much more then four attacks to get him stopped long enough. It would be pointless to attack him head on all the time too for the fact that there would wear themselves out faster then they would be wearing him out. "We could try out combined attack."
Ami nodded. That had crossed her mind. "We should try it. Then, as soon as we release, you can teleport to him and grab him."
"Right. That sounds like a plan."
Ami looked past her friend to the other's, who were not able to hold up as well against Goku as they had when the spar first started. Every hit took its toll on the girls. "We should execute right away. You keep your dad busy while I inform the others of our plan."
Usagi nodded. "That's a good idea. I'll get on it right away." Usagi flew off in the direction of the fight. She knew what she had to do. Though, she didn't know how well her body would hold up.
She stopped and crossed her arms when she got in a good yelling range. "Hey you!" Goku finished up his roundhouse kick on Rei and turned around to look at his daughter. "Yeah you! Bet you can't catch me!" She stuck out her and made a face at him, taking off shortly after to avoid any sudden attack that may have been coming.
Goku grinned as he gave himself a power burst, flaring his aura around his body. He didn't have to chase her for too long. She had been much slower than he was and he could feel her power decreasing as the spar wore on. But, this is what he wanted them to go through. He wanted them to know what it was like to fight an enemy who was much stronger then them. Even though he didn't think they would have to, he wanted them to know. Just in case something did happen and the people of this time couldn't protect him. They had come up with some good strategies so far, yet none of them had worked. Later, he would let them know what they should work on, and what they should ditch.
He reached out and grabbed a hold of the back of his daughter's GI. "Caught you." He pulled her close to him and flipped her around so she was facing him. "Think fast." He raised his knee and violently inserted it into her stomach.
Usagi curled up in sever pain. Getting hit in the stomach was nearly as bad as getting her tail hit, which she had carefully tucked under her GI and around her waist. Though, a few times it had nearly been hit when she was fighting fast hand to hand combat with her father. "Owe...owe...owe..."
"Don't stop long enough to let the pain sink in! Try to ignore it!" He wrapped his fingers around her waist, raised her up over his head, and threw her down to the ground with all his strength.
Usagi tumbled to the ground, unable to stop herself for the force of the air pressing against her body was far to great for her to handle. When she hit, a hole was created from the impact with Usagi falling in it. "Why me?" She raised her hand to feel around the outside area of the hole.
~*~*~
Back with the others...
"So you guys want to pull a combined attack on him?" Makoto thought that it was a great idea. It was a good way to test out the strength of it. They had never really tested it out on much. Not anything with the power of what Goku currently had. It was perfect.
Ami nodded as she looked over her shoulder to the fight between Usagi and Goku. Usagi didn't look too good. It was hard enough for them to all fight him, let alone the fact that Usagi was trying to go solo. "Yeah. We need to act fast."
"Right." The four girls jumped into the air, giving it their all, and boosted themselves to the fight.
~*~*~
Goku threw Usagi threw Usagi away from him, after she finally made it close to him. But not close enough to touch him. He raced past Usagi and hit her back the other way once she reached him, doing the same on the other side of her. He went back and fourth like this until he felt the other fighters' energy behind him. He looked at them and smiled. "Hi ladies."
Usagi was finally allowed to touch the ground again. She had a splitting headache and her skin was raw all over from the constant beatings in which she had just received. "Whoa, I don't feel so good anymore." She lay on the ground with all of her limbs spread out as far away from her body as they could get. Her tail had even loosened from its hold around her body.
Minako could sympathize for Usagi. She had been through her fair share of hits that day. "Come on Usagi. We need to do this."
Goku smirked in fascination. "What are you guys planning?" He couldn't wait to see what they had up their sleeves.
Usagi slowly rose to her feet. She hadn't really wanted to, but she needed to continue. She was determined to win this. And besides, if this were a real fight, she wouldn't have been allowed to just give up whenever she wanted to. "Right. I guess we do." She slowly staggered over to her fellow fighters, careful not to walk to close to her father. She was a bit surprised to see that he didn't attack her.
She sighed as she let herself lean against Makoto. "Wow. I'm really tired now."
"Don't give up." Makoto turned her head to Usagi's ear. "You're the most important part of this attack. It will be over soon.
That was motivation enough for Usagi. She had had enough of this. Anything to get it over with was great for her. "Ok. Let's get this done." She placed both of her hands standing straight up in front of her, much like the other girls did. Their hands created a ring with a large opening on one side of it. This is where they would concentrate all of their energy.
Goku knew right off the bat what they were doing. He had seen them practicing it many times before. But, he decided to let them proceed with it. "Let's speed things up girls. Enemies don't want to wait forever to be attacked. They would rather do the attacking." He watched as a massive energy ball was formed in the opening. Each of the girls' colors mixed in to make a spiral effect.
They all pulled back on the attack. Rei looked around to her friends. She didn't know how much longer they could hold it. It was too powerful for them to hold. They were running low on energy. "On three. One...two..."
"THREE!" Usagi released her part of the blast at the same exact time as the others, which was exactly what they had been practicing.
Goku couldn't believe the amount of energy that it held. It was indeed a great attack, but it wasn't completely flawless. One of its major flaws being the amount of time it took to build it up. Since it did take so much time, he was able to prepare himself to move whenever it began to move. Which is precisely what he did. He didn't wait around for it to get him. But, before he totally got out of the area, he stopped to attack the group, which was his downfall.
Usagi teleported to her father and grabbed onto his back. "I have you now!" She began concentrating the last of her energy on her special attack.
'Crap.' "Get off me." Goku grabbed a hold of Usagi's wounded arm, on purpose. He knew that she would let go if he did. He knew exactly what she was going to do.
As much as it hurt, Usagi didn't budge her arm. She had to bite her lower lip in order to keep her grip. She remembered what her father had just told her not ten minutes ago about not letting the pain sink in. Her hands began to glow again. This time, they were firmly placed around their target.
Goku tried to pry his daughter's hands off of him, but it was even harder since she was on his back. He couldn't reach her very well. "Great. Just great. The one thing NO ONE can guard against."
Usagi giggled. "That's right." She could feel her energy leaving her body as it was distributed all around her father's. But, something was wrong. He was still moving all about. His body was covered with her energy, yet, he was still moving. She closed her eyes. 'He's too strong. I need more power. But, I'm all tapped out.'
Goku began to thrash his body all about. He didn't want her to somehow get a power boost from anywhere. He didn't enjoy being in this attack. But his power seemed to be much stronger then hers. Too strong for her to make an effective attack. Her finger's dug into his skin as she tightened her grip. He felt her tail wrap around his leg for extra leverage. Without even thinking about what she was doing, Usagi began to raise her powerlevel higher and higher. Goku felt it. He was sure that the others had felt it too by they way they were looking at him. 'What? What if she hurts herself again?' "Stop."
Usagi opened her eyes. "Stop what?" She raised it even higher. She didn't know what he was talking about. She didn't know what she was doing. And if he was referring to her attack, he was nuts if he thought he was going to stop her by telling her to stop.
Goku began to get worried. Though her body didn't seem to be reacting, he wasn't totally sure. He looked over his shoulder and gasped at what he saw. Usagi's hair flickered silver over and over. "Oh boy..." He looked down to her tail around his leg, it too was turning sliver. "Do you realize what you're doing?"
Usagi unconsciously raised the amount of power that she was putting into her attack. Surprisingly, she hadn't even felt the power change. "Yes."
Goku sighed. Obviously she didn't otherwise she would be freaking out and jumping for joy. He looked back at her again once he felt a major power increase from no where. 'Good god.' Her hair was totally silver. Like the day he had arrived. It was so bright that he had to squint just to look at her. "Usagi you did it." And that's when it happened. He could no longer move.
Usagi smiled when he stopped his motion. Her attack had finally worked. But how? She pulled her head back and got a good look at her father's body and could have screamed. "Why is it silver?" She let go of her father and pulled back, while looking at her hands in confusion. "What the..." Her aura was silver too.
Goku smiled as he turned around. He hadn't been in that attack for too long. He still fully had his energy. "Congratulations Usagi. You've just reached your level of Super Saiyan."
Usagi's eyes widened. "I what?" She looked over to her hair. It was pure silver. "Whoa...I did, didn't I?" She looked up at her father, her face consumed with a smile. "THIS IS SO COOL!"
Goku chuckled. 'I knew she didn't know what she was doing.' He powered back down to his normal level. "Very good. I'm proud of you. You've accomplished a lot in the past few months here. Your body is fully able to hold that power now. You learned to use it through training and not hate or fear. Your body is ready for it. It wasn't forced upon it. That's why you are able to use it." Usagi began to power down too. "Hey wait, don't do that. I want you to get a feel for the power. I want you to get used to it for a while."
Usagi powered back up. "Sorry."
Goku landed to the ground. He motioned Usagi to do the same. "It's ok. I'm not mad." He looked around to the girls on the other side of him. "All of you gather around. I need to talk to you." He watched as they complied with what he told them to do. "Ok, well, as you know, Usagi has reached her so far, highest potential. But, that's not what I need to talk to you about. It's about our fight we just had." He could tell that all of the girls were very tired and worn out but he couldn't give them Senzu beans. It was important for them to learn to heal on their own. "Now then, you guys fought very well. Though you have a lot of work to do before you meet the androids. That's not bad though. It's expected that you aren't up to their level. Some things you need to work on, I don't have too many problems with what you're doing. I pointed out a few things during the fight, work on them. My major beef is that combined attack. Though it is strong it takes up a lot of time. Too much time actually. It also leaves you guys together for too long in one space. That makes it easier for the enemy to attack you all at once. It's better to be spread out. I know how much you guys love that attack, but it's dangerous to you as fighters and will hold you back. But I was VERY impressed with your overall skill." He looked to Usagi. She had taken some of the hardest beatings. "Sorry about that kiddo."
Usagi smiled. Though it hurt a lot, she knew it was to help her. "That's ok daddy."
(Ok, that's it for this part. What did you think? Was it good, or bad? Please tell me. Thank you!)
