"I didn't come out here to gawk at you!" Gotenks snapped, "What are you waiting for?"
Eli didn't respond.
"Well, if that's how you wanna do it," He continued, "Then allow me!"
With that, Gotenks charged at his confident opponent, only to have his punch evaded and to be kneed in the gut instead, causing him to flinch.
Eli, however, didn't have time to continue his attack, as he was slammed through a wall by a kick from Gohan. Goku and Vegeta saw this as an opportunity to deliver one of their respectively strongest attacks.
"KA...ME..." Goku began while charging an energy sphere in his hands, which were now formed as a cup.
"FINAL--" Vegeta began as well while placing his arms horizontally as energy spheres appeared in each hand.
"HA...ME..."
"HA/-- FLASH!" Goku and Vegeta yelled as they both fired their trademark attacks.
Eli, who had just recovered from Gohan's blow, made no effort to avoid the combined beam and simply flicked it away to the sky with the palm of his hand.
"I expected more from you two." Eli said arrogantly.
Goku and Vegeta were speechless. The best they had to offer was nothing more than a simple energy pellet to him? What kind of power does he actually possess?
At this point, both Gotenks and Gohan charged at Eli, both throwing a flurry of punches and kicks, but all were either dodged or blocked.
Eli, however, was not doing this without effort. He was getting tired, fast, as were his challengers, but he managed to axe-handle Gotenks into the ground, and catch a flying kick from Gohan, which he used to smash him onto Gotenks.
Vegeta took advantage of the distraction his allies made, and put all his strength into a kick to his son's neck.
The kick connected, sending a shockwave into the direction the kick was made. The effect it had on Eli, on the other hand, was that it only made him angry.
Eli slowly turned around to face his father, as he suddenly punched him in the face, sending him flying. Eli didn't want to play around, as he caught up with his beaten up father, and cracked his spine with one single kick, and then slammed him into the ground.
Vegeta was immobilized and nearly unconscious, as he began to revert. It was then that Goku tried to interfere, by charging at Eli with a flurry of punches.
But Eli's attention was on his father, as he slapped Goku several yards away.
"I chose my path when I killed you the first time, father." He whispered, "I do not plan to stray from it."
At that point, Eli put his hand to Vegeta's face, as he killed him in the exact same manner he did before. Decapitation.
Gohan and Gotenks had been hurt by Eli's blows pretty bad. Gohan didn't know whether Eli had become stronger, or just more ruthless.
Goku, who had just emerged from the rubble he was slapped into, sensed Vegeta's ki disappear. It was too late. Vegeta was the first to die.
"Damn it!" He told himself, "There has to be some way we can stop him!"
Goku didn't have time to think up a plan, as Eli flew to him.
"You're next, Goku." He smiled, "I'll teach you to meddle in some one else's affairs."
In the blink of an eye, he had planted an elbow in Goku's face, forcing him to spit out his own blood as he was catapulted backwards.
Goku realized that Eli put all he had in that blow. He was already taken out. The Kamehameha he launched earlier, combined with his Super Saiyan 3, had used too much energy, as he reverted to his base form.
"Time for you to keep my father company." Eli grinned.
He began to do the hand motions associated with Trunks' attack.
"BURNING ATT--" Eli yelled, as he was drilled into the pavement by Gohan's foot to the back of his head.
Gohan wasted no time, as he floated back into the air, and held his wrist with his other hand.
"MASENKO... HA!" He yelled as he launched the massive energy beam towards the crater Eli was in.
Gohan was not alone. Gotenks came to his aid, and began charging his own attack.
"VICTORY CANNON!" Gotenks screamed while firing the blast into the crater as well.
The beams made a direct hit with the Earth, increasing the size of the crater even more, just barely leaving Goku safe.
Gohan and Gotenks were panting heavily.
"Is it over?" Gotenks asked, when suddenly he defused.
"Cause we sure hope it is." A now very scared Goten added to the question.
Clapping could be heard from above them. As they looked up, they were amazed to find Eli, heavily wounded.
"Bravo." He began, "If I hadn't made it out of there in that split second, you would have had me."
His arrogant look changed to one of anger.
"How unlucky for you." He finished, as he elbowed Goten in the back of his neck, breaking it, and launched a blast into his stomach, ending his life.
Eli was through playing games. His next victim would be his sibling, as he kicked him in the stomach, and shot an energy pellet into his mouth, killing him as well.
Gohan was too shocked to do anything. When he fully realized what washappening, he launched his offensive. But, as tired as he was, he was easily tossed aside.
Eli couldn't keep this up much longer. He knew he had to finish this quick. He caught up to Gohan, and began charging an energy sphere.
"It's been fun, Gohan!" He yelled excitedly, "But fun's gotta end sometime!"
At that point, Goku appeared behind Eli, and grabbed onto him, as he used all of his energy to transform back to Super Saiyan 3.
"Gohan! Do it! This is our only chance!" Goku yelled.
"But father, you'll--" Gohan started as he was interrupted by Goku.
"Do it, Gohan! There's no other way!"
"So be it." Gohan said, "Goodbye Eli. Goodbye father."
Gohan began to channel all of his energy into his hands.
"It isn't enough. I'm too worn out to summon enough energy to kill Eli! Now what? I'll fail, just like I did against Buu!" Gohan said to himself.
Gohan became desperate, and suddenly it came to him.
"No. I will succeed this time. Father, Goten, Trunks... this is for you. Even for you, Vegeta. May the Earth rest peacefully after this day."
Gohan had summoned all the energy he could muster, but it didn't stop him. He continued to summon energy, all he had and more, as lightning began to encircle his hands.
The ground around Gohan trembled underneath the power he was bringing forth, pieces of rubble floated around him, the sky rippled at the sight of his godlike strength.
It was done. With one final nerve shattering scream, Gohan launched the gigantic energy blast at Eli and his father, engulfing them both.
When the smoke had cleared, Eli and Goku were vaporized. Gohan was the only one left standing.
"I--I did it." He stuttered as he collapsed to the ground. Gohan's eyes were white. His pulse had stopped. Gohan, the strongest of them all, had given his life once again, to protect the ones he loved.
Meanwhile, a mysterious figure slowly walked around the other end of East City. He noticed the fight, it was hard not to, but he thought it wise to stay clear from it.
"Such power... all gone to waste. Bah!" He thought to himself.
He smirked.
"No matter. I'll find another. Mazgur will not be stopped again!"
