Power of the Heart

Chapter 7

The power that Gohan was emitting was incredible but Krillin could tell that something was wrong. Gohan's super saiyan ki keep flocculating; his power was going from being weaker than Krillin to being stronger than Goku in the matter of seconds.

"Gohan, you have to get control of your power." Gohan was too far gone in his rage to even understand Krillin.

- I have to help Gohan, but my body fells so weird after doing Kaioken x50. I can't even call upon enough power to stand. - Gohan let out a ferocious battle cry and attacked Number 17 but as he got closer to his target his power dropped. 17 realizing that something was wrong with the boy grabbed him once Gohan was in reach. Yamacha seeing the distress that Gohan was flew in to help him. Dr. Gero latched on to Yamacha and started sucking his life away.

"Just so that you know the power that I have collected today will keep me fill for several years." Dr. Gero stated as he drained Yamacha's life away. Once Dr. Gero was done he snapped Yamacha's neck. Krillin's mind when into total shock at the way his friends were being slaughtered. Dr. Gero walked over to 17 and took Gohan away from him. As Gohan's power fell once again Dr. Gero dropped him and started to torment Gohan.

"Where was that power that you had before? I want it, I want all." Dr. Gero relentlessly kicked Gohan to get him to release his amazing power again. The screams that were streaming from Gohan's mouth awoken something in Krillin, he had memories of the fights on Namek and the battle against Garlic Jr. Gohan was always there for him and now he couldn't do anything to help him. He felt so helpless and angry at himself all at once. He wanted to live, he wanted Gohan to live. Goku wasn't here anymore to save the day, it was up to him to help Gohan to destroy these androids. Suddenly, he was bombarded with incredible energy. Krillin reached deep within himself to get a handle on such amazing power.

"Stop…Stop...STOP IT!" Krillin yelled as he was surrounded by dark-colored flames. Dr. Gero and 17 both turned to the fallen warrior as blue fire shot fore from Krillin lightly licking their artificial skin. A phrase popped into the former monk's head and called it out. "ULTIMATE KAIOKEN TIMES ONE!" Krillin felt his power increase hundredfold.

"Where do these lowly creatures get their power from? I must have it all and I shall!" Dr. Gero flew at Krillin intending to take all of his new power but all he got was an afterimage. Krillin appeared in front of 17 and before 17 even realized what was happening he was punched three times in his abdomen then kicked away from Krillin.

"How can this be? I will crush you like I crushed Vegeta." 17 stopped himself in midair then soared towards the empowered Krillin. The two powerhouses met each other and started dishing out unbelievable amount of punishment to each other. 17 caught Krillin with a left hook then fired point blank at Krillin sending the courageous warrior to the land below.

"HA, even with your new power, you aren't stronger than 17 plus he will never tire like you will." Dr. Gero gloated as his creation slowly descended to the ground. 17 picked Krillin out of the dirt but the warrior kicked him in his chin.

"Why you little shit. I will kill you now."!7 voiced as he wiped the blood oil from his lip. Krillin looked up and smirked at him.

"What is so funny you dead fuck?"

"This…TAYIOKEN!" The battlefield was bathed in tremendous blue light blinding 17 and Dr. Gero. Hidden by the fist of the sun, Krillin also send out thousands of mini blades of ki that stabbed in to 17's eyes.

"I can't see." Dr. Gero stated as he rubbed at his eyes to make the pain go away.

"You destroyed my eyes! When I get my hands on you I will kill!"!7 exclaimed as he started firing off blasts in every direction. One of his shots slammed in Dr. Gero's right side making his right hand useless.

"I'm right behind you." Krillin stated as he threw his right arm in the air.17 whipped around only for him to hear Krillin speak again.

"Now you die, KIENZAN!" The disk of ki flew straight its mark, cutting off 17's left hand. Krillin threw several more, one separated 17's head from his shoulders and others leaving no two joints intact. Dr. Gero regained his sight just as 17's head dropped in front of his feet. He picked it up and the look frozen on 17's face was one of pure shock and fear.
