They had walked all day careful not to break anything,Gohan could feel most of the people's power levels and most of them were around Tien Shinhan's level, meaning that even if they attacked him they wouldn't have been able to hurt him.

Unfortunately, Pearl was a different matter entirely, she was weaker than most of the people around them and Gohan knew that the only reason they weren't trying anything was simply because he was standing next to her.

They stopped walking and for the first time since arriving in this world Gohan felt nerves a power was stronger than everyone around him was approaching, only that it wasn't alone, there were more with it.

There was no point in hiding, the source of the energy he had felt was already floating above them, slowly a group of men and women dropped down,

None of them said anything as they looked at each other measuring one another.

''I know you can understand me kid, so I'll make you a deal. You see if you manage to beat me no one else here will attack you, the reason is simple, I beat all of these weaklings all at once.'' A bald man said to Gohan before pausing and pointing at Pearl.

''That one is going to get you killed, she's not a fighter, let her go and we will find a good place for her. Even if you do beat me, the Super Elite will be waiting for you and if you beat them, it's going to be a lifetime of running for the both of you.''

''You know I'm right, we can't just let you escaper after beating every one of our strongest.''

Pearl hid behind Gohan, this was the first time she felt a true sense of dread, it was obvious that any wrong move could and would get them killed.

Gohan slowly let go of Pearl's hand and she looked at him with fear, no doubt expecting him to leave her, yet when she was about to say something her eyes widend, as she felt Gohan's power grow, he was going to fight and if he had to he would do it alone.

'No one touches the girl, there's no point in wasting your time.'' the man ordered the people behind him, as he stepped forward.

There was no point in saying his name or hearing the boys either, not right now anyway, so he let his power flow attempting to not only match but surpass the boy's power.

It was but a second but in that split second, both fighters met each other's fists, Gohan using his past experiences from that life that was now gone, alongside the experience he had while learning how to move this new body.

The Elite used everything he had learned during the wars he had lived thru, neither budged from their spots, each punch given was met with a block from its intended target.

Pearl watched in amazement, she had no idea that her brother, was it cousin, to be honest, she didn't know how she and Gohan were related, but they must have been something, considering they both grew up on that other world.

So caught up on what was happening in front of her, that she failed to notice that all of the other fighters had snuck up behind her.

''hey kid want something to eat?'' a woman wearing a bigger version of the clothes she herself was wearing asked her.

''Relax, you don't disobey orders in something like this, you aren't as strong as him right, so if I wanted to hurt I could do it and you wouldn't be able to stop me.'' The woman said to Pearl as she handed her what looked like cooked meat.

She hesitantly stretched her hand and took the meat.

''He's really something, that boy is actually starting to push the general back'' the woman said to Pearl.

''Yeah, Gohan is the strongest in the whole world.'' Pearl said as she happily bit into the meat.

Gohan felt the man begin to call more and more of his power and for a moment he remembered Pearl and how she hadn't made a sound, he was slowly pushing the Saiyan warrior back so he bothered to look behind him and felt himself fill with fear, when he saw Pearl surrounded by all of the other Saiyans.

So with a roar, he brought out more of his power sending the man flying and flew towards Pearls direction before carrying her and flying at full speed towards where all of the ships were arriving and leaving.

The rest of the gathered Saiyans only watched their communicators told them everything they had to know, had they attacked the girl they would have all been dead, Gohan had not only surpassed any of their power levels he was already a super elite by power alone.

The general rose to his feet and looked at the direction his subordinate were looking at.

''your not getting off this world kid, not while she's at your side.'' he said as the Super Elite announced that they were already waiting for the kid.

''Come on let's get everything ready, they will need food, a bath and a place to sleep, it's not every day that a super elite is found.'' he ordered his subordinates.

Gohan stopped when he felt several power levels standing in every direction of the base, some were flying and others actually felt like if they were below ground.

This was the moment when they either escaped or would become prisoners, then who knew what they would do to them and what they would be forced to do.

He let go of Pearl and looked at her. ''Pearl, listen to me when I start fighting you run towards a ship and push the biggest button you can find I can get off this planet by flying, so I'll be able to get inside once the ship is in space.''

''So no matter what you see you keep running and push that button.'' he told Pearl, he knew that whoever these Saiyans were their communicators had already picked up on his power.

Pearl just looked at him and nodded.

''Well might as well say hello.'' he said as he called out to all of his power until he reached the point that going any further would cause him to a transform into Super Saiyan.

Pearl felt the warriors all head in Gohan's direction and Gohan flew towards the nearest one, remembering his words she ran towards a ship that had its door open.

The sky seemed to shake as the fighters met in mid-air, and the explosions of their energies meeting seemed to completely replace the sun in the sky, it got to the point that she didn't know if it was day or night.

For a brief moment, she swore she saw Gohan fighting someone that was trying to catch her, but in that same moment, they were gone.

She wanted to cry, but she had to push that button, finally, she reached the ship and ran towards the biggest room she could find, the biggest room had to be the most important one, right.

It was there that she found a green button that was bigger than all of the others and she pressed it and the world turned dark.

Gohan was fighting off Saiyans that seemed to resemble a weak version of Frieza, but when he heard a ship begin to power up he knew Pearl had managed to get in one and was about to escape and then he felt his heart stop.

The ship powered down and a man holding the unconscious form of Pearl walked out.

''It's over, you may be able to kill all of us, but she will die before that. I'll cut you a deal, you can keep your mate and even live your life on this world, you never have to see a fight ever again, all you have to do is surrender.''

Gohan looked at the man and he was about to go Super Saiyan when the man began to squeeze Pearl's neck, Gohan lowered his head and powered down, he had been beaten, by someone that never bothered to power up himself.

He slowly lowered himself in front of the man and looked at him in the eyes, the man for his part simply walked up to him and handed Pearl over to him.

''We needed to know how strong you were, think about it, why would the two of you be able to hide in a world where everyone can fight.''

'' The king will want to speak to you, but for today and tomorrow the two of you will need a place to stay and something to eat.'' The man said to Gohan, before stopping.

''You may escape but this should show you, you can't keep her safe.''

Reluctantly Gohan began to follow the man as he carried Pearl in his arms.
