Yomi Strikes

"Not bad Gohan-kun keep it up!" Miu said as she alongside the hybrid went through their gymnastic moves.

"I'm good but you still beat me in making it look so effortless!" Gohan said.

"Your going slower than you did when you first tried out here." Chihiro said as she watched the two with narrowed eyes. "Why is that?"

"I'm wearing weights. No matter what I do in my life I will always train my body." Gohan said.

"What?!"

"This is the way I train when I'm interested in any sports. I do have to be careful with my moves though."

"But you're just wearing a leotard with sweatbands. There's no way that you could be wearing weights!" Chihiro exclaimed.

"Fine, then I'll show you." Gohan replied as he walked over to the disbelieving gymnast.

"Hold out your hands."

'He's lying he can't be wearing weights.' Chihiro thought as she put out both hands.

"Prepare yourself." Gohan smiled as he took off one of his wristbands and put a hand underneath hers.

"W...what are you doing?!"

The minute that Gohan placed the wristband in her hands he had to steady the off balance gymnast as the weight almost made her go to her knees.

"What... how can something so soft be so heavy?!"

Hearing the commotion the other members of the gymnastic team came over to observe.

"Magic and if you were wondering, twenty tons, in each band. And thirty in the leotard itself." Gohan said as he removed it from her hands.

"One... one hundred and ten tons!? You should be moving like a snail!" Chihiro said with a blush as she noticed how close she was to Gohan.

"I wear heavier stuff at Miu-san's dojo." Gohan said as he put the armband back on. "My father trained the same way for some time, however, I am my master's student who constantly trains like this so I train like my master."

"And that's to kill yourself?!"

"Nope, to live like every day might be my last." Gohan said as he returned to his training.

"He's a god..." Chihiro said as she watched the hybrid fly though his gym workout.

"You know I can hear you right?" Gohan said as he blushed.

"You can hear..." Chihiro repeated with a blush of her own, as the other girls giggled.

"You know, you can increase your own abilities. Rivalry is a healthy way for people to improve their skills, and you obviously have a rivalry with Miu-san." Gohan replied.

"Use that to better yourself, you have the potential, I've seen it. Just stop distancing yourself from other potential rivals and learn from their styles to create your own."

"Gohan-kun..."

Bringgggggggg

"And that's the end of the day again." Gohan said as he looked away from the even redder former star.

"You're not ready for the ton weights yet but you can work with lower level weights at home, you'll be surprised at the difference." Gohan said as he picked up the equipment he was using and returns it to its holder.

"See you tomorrow, Chihiro-san." Gohan said as he made his way towards the men's showers.

'Oh... looks like someone's got a little crush.' Miu thought as she watched Chihiro.

'This isn't going to end well.'

Earlier that day...

"Welcome to the sixth official meeting of Shinpaku Alliance! We have two new members, one you personally know and the other... well you'll see." Niijima said as he stood at the front of Kisara's former base, his two guests at his sides. And as requested their faces hidden under hoods to shield their identity.

"Let's start with our new joint Assault General."

"Hey, guy's.." The one on the right said as they removed their hood on Niijima's request.

"This man is the reason that we all still live today, for he alongside our hero Mark Hercule Satan, took down the threat known as Cell. Please make our new comrade feel at home!" Niijima said as Gohan revealed himself in his Super Saiyan form for all of the others to see.

"...Delivery Boy!" All of the other members of the Alliance said upon seeing his face.

"But that's not all, we also have a...

"We never stood a chance did we Gohan?" Kaname said as she took off her hood.

"Nope, but it was fun finding out how strong you were!" Gohan said as he powered down. "You sure do know how to use a stick!"

"Wait Gohan and the Delivery Boy are one and the same?!" Tanimoto said in surprise.

"Geez, you guys could have at least waited before ruining the surprise!" Niijima sighed. "But as you can see we also have the former mentor of Kisara, who prefers to be called Freya."

"So you convinced her did you?" Kisara said as she walked up to Gohan. "Well don't think you've got it all covered blondie! You can and most probably will...

"Meow!"

"Oh, I had forgotten about this little one!" Gohan said as the sound came from within his doji. "I found it near to where I was fighting with Freya-san and it was hurt so I took care of its wounds."

Taking the small kitten out carefully, Gohan was almost pounced on by the cat lover Kisara.

"Hey, careful there! You might make me drop her!" Gohan said as the kitten rubbed itself against his fingers. "Here, she probably got mesmerised by my tail, cause she has refused to move from my side no matter what I do." He finished as he placed the kitten into Kisara's hands. "Sure is a fighter though, it could probably pick up some moves like Shigure-san's mouse."

"Already good at manipulating your allies Gohan-san?" Niijima said with a smirk.

"Shinpaku, Shinpaku!" Matsui said as he swung around the flag bearing the symbol of the Alliance.

"Manipulating? I don't need to use such petty tricks on...

"So you wouldn't like an all you can eat pass?" Hibiki Kugenin otherwise known as Siegfried said as he waved the card in Gohan's direction.

"That... doesn't work on me." Gohan said as his tail followed the path that Siegfried's hand was making.

"You mouth says no but your body says yes... Kisara said as she and the cat watched the movements of Gohan's tail.

"Stop that!" Gohan said as he swatted his tail. "We won't fall for their petty tricks!"

"But you're drooling, Gohan-san!" Matsui said as he pointed at Gohan.

"I haven't eaten enough yet! That's the only reason why I'm drooling!" Gohan said as he wiped his mouth.

"Anyway as Niijima said, me and Freya-san are new members of the Shinpaku Alliance. Nice to meet you!" Gohan smiled as he bowed his head.

'He's very humble and polite...' The other members of the Shinpaku Alliance thought.

"And just so that you guys don't get the wrong idea, I'm here because Niijima-san reminds me of my first sensei Mr Piccolo-san... also he was the first person who realized who I really was..." Gohan muttered.

"Once again with the compliments!" Niijima said as his antennae twitched again. "It would seem that you are aware of my weakness also!"

"TAIL!" Kozo Ukita said as he pointed at Gohan's tail.

"Oh... our newest member is also part ape so... yeah." Niijima added as the rest of the Alliance also stared at the tail.

'Man... this is going to be a long day.' Gohan thought.

Deep in the city in one of Yami's bases, a meeting of a much darker nature was being held...

"It would seem that our plan to draw out our little fish is not going as planned." Sho said as he glanced at the paper in his hands. "However we can officially say that other martial arts groups are starting to notice us, especially after the hard work you guys have been doing." He finished as he looked up from the paper to stare at his fellow disciples. "A great way to start your entrance to Japan."

"The dojo's around here are trash, I'm interested in seeing how Ryozanpaku's disciples fight." Said the one sitting on the right.

"I'm with my brother on this... this task is really dull with such little competition. I'm not able to show off the best of the Lucha Libre skills." Said the female on the left.

"I'm not too fond of this country, why are we making a statement here?" Said the male in the centre.

"For several reasons, one of which is to show to the Ryozanpaku that we mean business and on a larger scale due to the media coverage in this country every nation will see our skills." Sho said with a smirk.

"So this is to show the world what Yami can really do?" The female said with a smirk of her own. "Fine as long as I can show off my fantastic skills."

"On another note, have any of you heard from Boris? He hasn't radioed in yet..."

"Fifty Nine." Boris said as he looked at the Ryōzanpaku Dojo. "Right men, you have your orders. This is the final dojo on the list. Hakuzanryou. Though compared to the other dojo's that we've visited this one seems to be the one most worn down by time compared to the others."

"Then it's probably weaker than the others two." Said one of his men.

"Don't underestimate any opponent.. the reason why we succeeded is that those dojo masters were not as formidable as us."

"Proceed with caution, I sense a great deal of ki in this place!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Looks like we've got guests." Gohan said without opening his eyes as he sat beside Shigure in her room as they both meditated, a notion that was to Shigure's liking.

"Shall we let Kenichi and Miu-san.. actually I have an idea."

"What are you going to do?" Shigure said as she opened her eyes to look at her disciple.

"New technique I made." Gohan smiled.

Staring at Gohan as the dojo began to shake slightly from the power that Gohan was giving off before it settled.

"Now we wait..."

"Hold your positions!" Boris whispered to his men as they struggled to hold their footing due to an unexpected tremor.

"You are allowed to fall you know?" Said a voice from behind them. "Though most would have passed out by now. You have a great sense of balance and good Ki resistance. Well, some of you." Gohan said as a few of the men passed out.

"What are you?!" Boris said as he looked at the spectral Gohan. "A ghost?!"

"Hah, nothing so childish! I just wanted to see who had come so I used my latest technique to observe the intruders."

"If you truly wish to test us go to the centre building. You will not be disappointed." The apparition said before it disappeared.

Waking up in Shigure's lap, Gohan stared at his concerned looking teacher fondly.

"That was awesome! I've never tried that technique like that before... I guess I worried you a lot didn't I Sensei?" Gohan said as he reached up and clasped his master's cheek with his right hand.

"Don't do that to me again! I don't like it when you do that." Shigure said as she rubbed her cheek along his hand.

"Well if I promise you that I won't do it too much would you believe me?" Gohan said with a smile.

"You go out of your way to worry me and then say stuff like that..." Shigure sighed before smiling at her friend.

"Belive me I don't do it intentionally... so they have started." Gohan said as his eyes narrowed.

"Guhhh!"

Held at bay by Kenichi's techniques, Boris tried to find an opening in his enemy's attack.

'That encounter with that apparition has effected my resolve!' Boris thought as he used the techniques that he had learnt from his master. 'I'm also surrounded on all sides by enemy masters...'

"What have we missed?" Gohan said as he came in with Shigure and sat beside Akisame.

"Hoh! As I thought you were the cause of that tremor, Gohan-kun!" Akisame said as he acknowledged the two.

'That power was Gohan's?!' Kenichi thought.

"Kenichi! Don't get distracted!" Gohan said as Kenichi's attack speed slowed by just a hair.

However, that hair was just enough.

'I will not lose this opening!' Boris thought as he executed his killing move... Circle of the Shinigami.

Charging at Kenichi, Boris dove down, while executing a knee strike and grabbed Kenichi's leg simultaneously. Moving around Kenichi, Boris used his other hand to pull Kenichi's neck back and used his knee to push on his back, in an attempt to strangle him.

"As I feared it truly is the Command SAMBO!" Akisame said as he watched the battle.

"I guess that there are still moves for me to learn then." Gohan said as he also observed the battle... "However Kenichi has learned some ace in the hole techniques from me. That technique alone won't be enough to beat Kenichi!"

'Ace in the hole?' Miu thought as she watched Gohan smile.

Breaking the hold that Boris had on him, Kenichi turned the tables on the Yomi disciple.

"What?!" Boris exclaimed as Kenichi's Sei Ki increased.

"Hmm, you helped him tap into more of his Ki?" Akisame said to Gohan.

"Hai, the techniques that my mother taught me I taught Kenichi." Gohan said. "It seemed more appropriate than teaching him how to hit harder."

Ring ring!

"Hello? Yes, I'm the one currently on the phone right now." Apachai said as he answered the enemy's phone.

"...Apachai, what are you talking about over the enemy's comm lines?" Kensei said looking puzzled.

"Hey, Ivanov! It's for you. It's someone from your leaders or something." Apachai said.

"... Go ahead... take the call." Kenichi replied as he kept his gaze on the Yomi student.

Glancing wearily at Kenichi, Boris walked over to Apachai who passed him the phone.

"I'm currently in a match right now, can we talk after... Boris began.

"We have to retreat!?" Boris exclaimed.

"Did you meet the target?" Sho asked.

"Which target are you referring to?"

"Both."

"Then yes.." Boris said as he looked over at Gohan.

"Then return... we have achieved what was asked of us. If your men hadn't contacted me then I might be talking to a dead body."

"But we didn't bring him out in the open!" Boris exclaimed as he quickly glanced at Gohan.

"Yes, we did... that short but intense burst of Ki could only have belonged to a few martial artists... and one of those is Mikumo Kushinada."

'I thought that Ki felt familiar!' Boris thought. "However like I said, I'm in the enemy's territory it would be hard for me to escape.

"We don't mind! You can come back at another time!" Akisame said loudly.

"I heard that Boris so get back here now!" Sho said as he hanged up the phone.

"Understood..." Boris said as he crushed the phone in his grip.

"I never got your name strongest disciple." Boris said as he turned to Kenichi.

"My name is Shirahama. Shirahama Kenichi!" Kenichi said.

"Take this as a promise from Yomi that we shall fight again!" Boris said as he threw a badge with Yomi's symbol on it at Kenichi.

"It's a promise!"

"So you've been teaching Kenichi as well have you?" Hayato said after the members from Yomi had departed.

"Yes Sensei, your ways of training are efficient in one form, my training that I received at the age of five is another." Gohan said as Kenichi's jaw dropped.

"The age of five!?" What kind of monsters would need to train their kid at that..

"The monsters that would need to protect their planet... Do you remember when there was an invasion from space by two warriors?"

"... Those were your father's people weren't they?" Akisame said as he indeed remembered the terrible Ki that he had felt eleven years ago.

"Yes, the Saiyans had come to take control." Gohan said as he looked up at the sky in memory of the fights that he had been in on that day.

"Many great martial artists lost their lives that day... only for them to be seen once again a few years later. Do you have any idea of how that could have happened?" Sakaki asked.

"The Dragon Ball's were used to restore them." Gohan said making the masters all turn to look at him.

"So the legend about the seven magical balls that can grant wishes is true?" Kensei said.

"Indeed, their creator is a good friend of mine. He's also Kami." Gohan added.

"You know...

"!"

"Hayato Furinji... I would like to see my nephew." Said a voice from outside the dojo.
