Gohan looked at the woman in front of him she had short spiky hair, something that seemed to be a common thing on this world, everyone inside the room had their hair standing or in some sort of spiky form.
There were a couple that had blue or smooth hair that didn't stand, but overall the majority of people here seemed to have black hair that stood up in one form or another, he also noticed that everyone's clothes seemed to be armor for some reason.
The woman's armor was like his own except it didn't have the shoulder guards and it looked like a skirt instead of pants, something like the one that Pear wore but the woman wore one with a shorter skirt.
''So wheres the other one?'' Gohan remembered that the woman said that Pearls parents would soon be coming to pick her up and he wondered just who was this woman that claimed she was his aunt.
''He's on a mission right now, but he'll want to meet you.'' Gine answered Gohan, knowing that Bardock would be interested in the boy simply because of how strong he was.
''I see'' the captain of the planetary defense force said as he put his hand on his communicator.
''It seems that we need a little bit more information, I need you to power up to your strongest level, that means the two of you.'' he said to Pearl and Gohan.
''Why?'' Gohan asked him.
The man leaned over to him and said close to Gohan's ear, in a low voice that not even Pearl who was still hiding behind Gohan's hand could hear.
''We aren't idiots we know your still holding back, that makes her a target. If you go full power even those that will target her will think twice about it.'' he told Gohan.
Gohan turned to look at Pearl and the only thing he could think about was keeping her safe, he wanted to just power up and deal with everyone, but really what had any of them done.
''If he was his dad or even Vegeta, they would fight everyone then train everyone until they were strong enough to actually be a challenge. Hell in Vegeta's case he would just make himself king, then make sure everyone else was strong enough to actually challenge him.''
Unfortunately, he wasn't either of them and he didn't want to show Pearl that everything could be settled by fighting, so that meant doing things the hard way.
He led Pearl to the center of the room and nodded, instantly Pearl began to scream as she dug deep into her power, she reminded him of himself back when he first started training with Piccolo.
The room stayed quiet and everyone's eyes turned to look at him, Gohan for his part patted Pearl on her head, he gave two steps back and began to call out to his power, slowly he felt himself growing in power until a flood of pure energy threatened to get out uncontrollably.
Everyone in the room simply stared in disbelief as Gohan's eyes turned white and a strange golden glow began to take over, slowly his hair took a red tint to it, before turning into a faded yellow.
No one moved except for Pear who had seen Gohan take this form more than once, their ways of measuring power were completely useless, every one of them displayed that the energy held by the boy was something that could only be described as a miniature star.
''Looks like we made the right choice'' the captain of the planetary defense force said, as he looked at Pearl once again holding Gohans hand.
''Alright we will send someone to pick you up tomorrow, you can wait for her parents to pick her up or you can leave the choice is yours.'' he said to Gohan and Gine.
Gohan slowly powered down and Pearl did the same, yet Gohan refused to leave Pearl and so he decided to wait until her parents showed up, unfortunately, minutes became hours and they never did.
''You can take her with you, don't worry about expenses you'll be paid a lot more then workers do, so she won't be too much of a burden. the Captain of the planetary defense force said to Gohan who was just beginning to walk out the door.
However, as Gine was about to walk out the door the man spoke to her in a voice that felt like it would kill her. ''That girl is the only thing stopping him from killing us all, make sure nothing happens to her.''
Finally when the three of them were gone the man reached to his ear and pressed a button on his communicator. ''Your suspicions were right, there's no way he was captured, he just wanted a way of that planet. Looks like the girl is his only weakness.''
