Chapter 11
Piccolo waited, he half expected to hear Goku's voice right away, but did not hear it. Instead he heard the voices of Chi-Chi and Bulma arguing about who was the prettier woman. That was a fight that would not be won easily, Piccolo thought. Then without a missed beat Goku and Trunks appeared in front of Piccolo. The dragon had a weird way of knowing where they needed to be. Sometimes it creeped out Piccolo to no end.
"Hey Piccolo, how's it goin?" Goku asked.
Piccolo smiled.
"Yea, how is it goin?" Trunks asked and then paused. "Goku do you feel that? Is that power Gohan and my dad?"
Goku paused and walked out onto the front of the lookout and walked to the edge.
"Yea Trunks and it seems they are not alone. Wow Vegeta has surpassed himself! We may not be needed after all!" Goku said with great enthusiasm.
"Wait a minute; you guys know what's going on?" Piccolo asked.
Goku turned, "Yea Piccolo, you should know I always show up at the feet of King Kai. He was rather happy to see me this time. I think he has finally gotten over the fact that I blew up his planet with Cell."
Piccolo could do nothing but grin. Same old Goku, always willing to participate or help.
However, Piccolo had a feeling that things were going to turn for the worse. That was always Kami's intuition, and it sometimes made him worry. Kami always made the situation direr than it was. But that came with being Guardian for as long as he has. He has seen everything happen to the earth and knows how quickly it can get out of hand.
"Hey Piccolo, can you see the fight from here?" Bulma asked.
Piccolo found hearing her annoying voice refreshing. You could always count on Bulma to make things seem lighter at the moment.
"Yea I can Bulma, and Vegeta and Gohan are doing rather well, better than I had anticipated."
"You let my baby go there and fight them?" Chi-Chi yelled at Piccolo.
This was another thing that was refreshing to Piccolo, he hated hearing it at the time, but he knew that all Chi-Chi wanted was the safety of her family.
"I'm sorry Chi-Chi, but I couldn't have stopped him if I wanted to. He felt the hurting of all the people down there and couldn't stand it. Not to mention his sense of duty that he had to help out because you were no longer alive Goku."
Goku smiled, his son had really become the fighter that he had always hoped he would. In addition, he was fighting for the right causes. Even though he may be fighting out of rage might have not been a good thing. Nevertheless, he knew at least that Gohan's motives were the correct ones.
"I can understand that Piccolo," Chi-Chi said. "But what I don't understand is why you didn't try to stop him physically?"
Piccolo's attention seemed to be focused on the fight below; he was secretly hoping that Vegeta and Gohan had what it took to keep things going.
"Gee, it seems to me like Gohan and Vegeta may have everything together Piccolo. I may not be needed after all." Goku noted.
Piccolo was not as sure.
Meanwhile back at the battle Gohan's energy seemed to be growing.
"Goddamn kid where do you keep all this energy?" The Vegeta android said in confusing.
The android's attacks were only stopping Gohan temporarily. Only enough time to give in another hit before Gohan would retaliate. Every punch Gohan landed seemed to get stronger and stronger. This seemed to get on the androids nerves as his facial expression continued to show more contempt with each hit.
"How do you feel now android? Does being beaten down like the slime you are seem a little less fair when you're facing someone of greater power?" Gohan asked in sheer anger.
"Or are you just scared that a lowly Saiyan is kicking your ASS?" Gohan yelled as he punched the android in the face. Gohan then grabbed him by the hair and slammed a knee into the androids face. This gave the android a confused look as Gohan grabbed him from behind and started to kick his back with his knees. The android yelled out in pain with every hit. As if, he was actually in severe pain. Gohan's intensity grew as his power climbed to even higher levels than Gohan thought he was capable of.
"How do you like it now? How do you like being reduced to such a meaningless and pitiful state?" Gohan asked.
The android did not have a response, save for one maneuver that he had been saving for an emergency. The android turned his legs backwards and caught Gohan by the legs and started to pull down towards his front. This caused Gohan's arms to let go and throw him in front of the android. The android let go and concentrated a large energy ball in front of his hands. Directed straight at Gohan, the energy ball launched and hit Gohan dead center in the back. Gohan yelled in pain, and another hit and another. Gohan could do nothing but yell in pain. His attacks increasing in power, and in number.
"How do you like that kid?" The Vegeta android asked, as he flew at him and planted his knee into the center of Gohan's back.
"How do you like the feel of my might now? Are you so smug now that I surprised you and gave you a taste of your own energy?"
Gohan tried to reach behind himself and grab the android's knee. However, the android moved it away and just slammed his clenched fists down onto Gohan's shoulders. Sending the young Saiyan hurtling to the ground, and impacting into a giant boulder.
Gohan got up, stunned, and looked up at the android.
"Dad, I will not fail you." Gohan said to himself, "I will defeat this android and prove that I'm just as great a fighter as you."
Meanwhile Vegeta was dishing out a vengeance, all his own on the android Goku. His fist implanting into the androids face, and then his leg flying against the androids side. The android went flying into the ground while Vegeta appeared in front of it and used his own hair as a weapon, which launched the android straight into the air. Vegeta flew up past the android, grabbed him by his hair, and kept on pounding on the androids face.
"How do you like that android? Do you like it when my fist connects to your face? You look tired, maybe you should LIE DOWN!"
Vegeta slammed the android into the ground, fired his largest attack at the android and then slammed his knees into the androids back.
"Wow this seems to be so hard. A lowly Saiyan is beating the android that can destroy a defenseless city. I wonder if your counter part is having as much fun. WHY DON'T WE FIND OUT?" Vegeta yelled as he threw the android in the direction of Gohan's fight with the android Vegeta.
"Gee Gohan, doesn't it seem like things are turning around?" The android Vegeta asked smugly.
Without hesitating Gohan appeared behind the android and backhanded him to the ground. The android hit with a loud crash as the earth around him broke free. Gohan then impacted with his foot directly into the androids back. Gohan grabbed him and threw him to the side. Firing energy attacks at the android, one after the other. Gohan then flew into the cloud of smoke and found the androids knee in his side and its fist across his face. Gohan then quickly turned and thrust his leg against the androids side and threw his left fist into the androids right cheek.
"This is for my Father, this is for my Mother, this is for my Daughter, and this is for my Wife." Gohan said after every punch he gave. Giving every ounce of his energy into his attacks.
The dust cleared and then Gohan got into his dad's famous pose.
"And this is for me," Gohan put his hands together in front of him, and positioned one foot in front of him and one foot behind him.
"KA-ME-," Gohan brought his hands behind him, and an energy ball appeared between them.
"HA-ME" Gohan concentrated every ounce of his energy into his attack.
"This android is your end!" Gohan yelled before finishing his attack
"HAAAAAAAAAA" Gohan brought his hands forward as he yelled the last part of his attack and the energy ball turned into an energy wave and went straight for his target.
The android looked shocked and scared. He was going to meet his end at the behest of this puny mortal, and he did not want it to end this way. The android started to launch energy ball after energy ball at the attack. However, none of them even stopped it; it just kept on coming straight for him. The android stared at it; it seemed to move more slowly than it actually was. Nevertheless, the android couldn't move, as if it were scared stiff. Then the energy wave hit it, and the force of the attack pushed him back for yards. The android tried to catch the attack but failed. The attack started to move around him but still hitting him, going through him almost. The pain was excruciating, and the android could do nothing but scream in pain. Gohan added more energy to the attack.
"I know you cannot survive this android, this is your farewell." Gohan tried to push it even harder.
"Now go to hell and be gone!" Gohan let every ounce of energy he had into the attack.
The ground shook and the ground beneath them started to crumble and some of it fly away from the ground. The android seemed to disappear in the blast, so Gohan ended the attack.
Gohan was exhausted.
The android's body appeared in the air, falling to the ground. The face of the android had an expression of pain, but no life to it. Gohan looked relieved as the body hit the ground. However, he was still uneasy about being so calm after what he just went through. He walked over to the android, being cautious not to let down his guard until he was absolutely sure.
Then all of a sudden, the other android hit the ground beside them. And Vegeta appeared above it slamming his fists into its stomach repeatedly.
"Is that all you got android? Does that feel good? Is this how you defend your actions of destroying all those innocents?" Vegeta was looking rather pissed.
The android Goku could do nothing but yell aloud every time he was punched. He even coughed up blood once or twice. His robes around his chest were completely gone and you could see where Vegeta had been attacking him before, there were cuts and bruises everywhere on the androids body. Vegeta didn't let up on it one second, and kept on beating it down even though it stopped screaming. Gohan had to punch Vegeta in the face before he stopped and calmed down.
"Relax Vegeta, I think its dead." Gohan said with a chuckle.
Vegeta looked at Gohan and saw how beat up he was. Vegeta didn't look as bad but did feel some of the androids attacks. He looked at Gohan and smiled.
"It's over Gohan, we don't have to hurt anymore." Vegeta said with a smile.
