Kakarot Saga: Chapter 2: Battle of the young and old

"You're pretty strong for a kid," Gohan said with a small chuckle. "I was nowhere near as strong as you are, when I was your age. As a matter of fact…" But Gohan didn't get to finish his statement, for Kakarot continued his attack by kneeing Gohan in the face, and quickly following up with a kick to the same spot with his free leg.

A stream of blood soared through the air as Gohan fall to the ground. Slowly getting up, Gohan wiped the small trace of blood off his mouth with the edge of his sleeve. Finally standing up all together, Gohan outstretched his palms. Moving them gracefully to his right side, Gohan said. "KA… ME… HA… ME… HA!" As the last bet of what he said escaped his mouth, he thrust his palms forward and shot forth a large wave of light blue energy.

The scouter roared to life as the beam approached Kakarot, showing the read out of the energy. "What the hell?" Kakarot raised both hands to stop the beam. The beam plied into the young Saiyan's hands with great force. "Damn," Kakarot swore, as he started to release some of his own energy to push back the old man's wave. He was finally able to push the beam away from his face, but not without some difficulty.

The two energy waves cut through each other, showing no mercy. Gohan swore under his breath as the youngling pushed the wave back at him. "I'll just have to use some more ki that's all," Gohan released another short wave of ki into the energy wave, which started to push back the youngling with great force. But the Saiyan didn't hesitate; he too started to push more ki into his attack, causing both attacks to meet in the middle of the two warriors. This was, in fact, the battle of the young and old.

Finally seeing that the old man wasn't going to back down, Kakarot shot one last charge of his ki into the attack, which surprised the old man. Causing him to lose control of his own attack, and allowing the Saiyan's to ply right through the old man's chest.

The old man's blood covered the grass like a crazed child's work of "art". Looking up at the youngling, Gohan spat out a mouth full of blood, and winced at his pain. "You may have defeated me, but there are plenty more, here, that are stronger than me."

Kakarot let out a slow laugh as he winced at the lost of energy he used in that small battle. "Let them come," Kakarot's words surprised Gohan. "That's why I'm here. I'm here to wipe this planet clean of life." With that said, he raised his right palm over Gohan's head, and blasted it away. Kakarot turned his back on the smoldering pile of flesh and walked back to his spaceship. So, there are stronger warriors on this planet, good, at least I'll have some fun.
