Chapter 5: Bringing out the Monster…

Gohan had been humiliated by Vegeta, beaten and made into nothing more than a fighting toy, but by his actions he had possibly done the worst thing he could have done, because finally Gohan felt alone in the world, he had nothing to lose now, winning was the only option now. At least it was to what was inside him, for long now Gohan had a visitor in his head, a little nagging voice one might diagnose as him merely growing up and having new rebellion inside him, but was not so, it was far more dangerous, corrupting and evil than anything which a normal Human would grow up with.

The teenager reached his house and entered, the bruises, cuts and injuries present to his parents, as they looked wide-eyed at the sight. Goku was the first to come out of his shock and looked more concerned now, he stood up but did not speak trying to work out what had happened. Chichi was the first to speak and she bolted forward, sliding onto two knees to get a closer look at her precious boy.

"My little boy what happened to you!? You have bruises all over you! Who did this!?"

Gohan pushed his mother away from him and walked into his bedroom, slamming it shut and locking before his mother had time to recover and ask more annoying questions. He pulled his chair out and sat at his desk looking at the bracelet on his wrist, he gritted his teeth in anger, his veins bulged in his forehead slightly as he gripped it with his other and pulled hard, but to no avail, it stayed there strong only proving to hurt his other wrist which it held onto.

"Gohan son… come on, what has happened? You can tell us, we won't think any lower of you for it… we just want to help…"

It was Goku's voice at the door, and Gohan had to admit he felt a slight urge to open the door at his words, but something kept him on the seat. He sighed and decided just to get rid of his father… but then an idea came to his head. He stood looking sadder than ever and unlocked the door. His father stood looking as caring as ever and held out his arms as Gohan ran into them.

"Dad… Vegeta beat me up…"

He started to cry into his father's chest as Chichi stood next to them. Gohan was obviously upset but Goku knew they were true, he wouldn't let Vegeta get away with this, and he'd pay the price for hurting his son so badly. Goku gently pushing Gohan off him in a caring way and smiled.

"Don't worry mate, I'll deal with Vegeta, he won't do it again I promise! Now I think you should wash your cuts in case they get infected."

Goku was about to leave when Gohan grabbed him again. Goku's eyes were drawn down to the bracelet now waving in his face.

"He put this on me, that's how he beat me, else I could of defended myself… I can't even get into Super Saiyan with it on."

Goku held his son's arm and looked at it carefully, it was defiantly some sort of power blocker or absorber, but it was not a Saiyan one, guessing it anyway from one he saw a few years ago, it must be one of Bulma's inventions. He let the arm go and looked out of the window thinking for a moment before he decided what he would do. He'd take Gohan with him to capsule corp. and get the bracelet off, and then find Vegeta if he wasn't already there.

"Ok well I guess you're coming with me then to get that thing off. Can you fly?"

"No sorry dad."

They headed towards Capsule Corp as Goku held onto Gohan and took them there himself. They landed just outside with Bulma waiting. She waved, flagging them into their landing almost. She had her usual smile on her but then it turned to shock as she saw Gohan injured. She bent down and examined him looking worriedly. Then she saw the bracelet and her eyes went wide.

"Oh my god Gohan what happened!? You look… terrible!"

"Vegeta attacked him Bulma… and put that bracelet on him, can you take it off please? Also is Vegeta here by any chance?"

Bulma looked uneasily, Vegeta was here but she knew what Goku would probably do and lied all to the satisfaction of Gohan. He watched as his father shot off into flight and headed towards Master Roshi's house where Vegeta supposedly was. Gohan was led in and put into an examination table, his wounds were dealt with and towards the end of the 15 minutes he was in there his bracelet was took off, power surging back into his body. He sighed as it was done in a slight personal victory… now came the interesting part.

"Thanks Bulma, I feel great!"

Bulma smiled and helped Gohan off the table. He begun to walk out and Bulma waved him goodbye, she turned back around and begun to clean up the bloody equipment she had used to heal Gohan. However the boy had snuck back in, and silently grabbed her around the mouth and nose. She tried to scream but was unable to as oxygen would not enter or leave her body. She struggled but found herself getting weaker and weaker, as she fell unconscious Gohan released her with a smirk and moved towards the computer in the lab. He fiddled with a few buttons until the CCTV came up and he caught sight of Vegeta.

"Gotcha…"

He laughed lightly and begun to exit the lab, looking back only to check if Bulma was still out cold. She was and he continued following the corridor to the end and opening the door. Vegeta was doing press-ups and was oblivious to the intrusion. He was still too busy to notice, well he didn't notice until the shoes of someone appeared next to him. However as he looked up it was too late as the foot of Gohan was firmly planted into the Prince's side, which sent him flying and smashing through a glass window.

"Your bitch was kind enough to take off that little bracelet."

He spoke as he calmly climbed through the gap in the wall that once housed the window, which now lay smashed on the grass. He had a sickening smile on his face as he neared Vegeta who was just beginning to recover and stand up. Gohan was quick on the case as he grabbed the vest of Vegeta ignoring the dampness of his sweat stained clothing as he pulled hard and brought Vegeta's skull into contact with his own, it was far too fast for Vegeta to stop and he fell back almost instantly knocked out from that attack, both their skulls bled, but Gohan was not affected by his own as he picked Vegeta up by his long hair.

"Give me a reason now to blow up your sorry face…"

Vegeta spat towards Gohan, but the boy simply moved his leg and the spit landed on the ground, it was almost as if Gohan knew that was going to happen. With lightning quick reflexes Gohan hurled his fist into the stomach of Vegeta, over and over again. He wanted to finish this off now, but also wanted to give the son of a bitch a true feeling of pain. He picked him up again by the skull and but kept his palm on it and crushed down with his fingers making the Saiyan prince yelp in pain as he attempted to pry the hand off his head. However he was not powerful enough…

So Vegeta decided then he would have to defend himself properly. He jumped into Super Saiyan and then to the surprise of the half-Saiyan into Super Saiyan 2. However a smirk appeared on Gohan's head as he pushed the Saiyan from his grip. He did not rise in power levels and looked at Vegeta with a daring smile. The Saiyan obliged and flew forward aiming a powerful Ki blast at the boy, which was easily stopped, as Gohan held his hand out, the blast seemed to absorb into the kid's skin.

Vegeta carried on shrugging that last block of Gohan's off. He had a trick up his sleeve and now was the time. He flew back, up into the sky and looked down he screamed the words "Galick Gun" after a brief moment of raising enough power to launch the attack. Suddenly a light formed in his hands and it shot towards Gohan who stayed in place looking unimpressed. At the last minute Gohan put out his hands and the attack did not blow up like Vegeta expected, he looked on stunned, but was not phased as he carried on adding more power to his attack. However the child did something unexpected as the attacked turned around and shot towards Vegeta.

The Shock hit Vegeta and he had no way to move his body. The blast hit him and he found his power running out quickly. His eyes shut as he blacked out and fell from the sky to the floor. Gohan was highly amused by the fight and walked over to the defeated Saiyan. He was out cold, barely alive, but he would survive, Bulma would help him once she woke up and saw the CCTC footage of her boyfriend on the floor bleeding. He laughed and took to the sky wondering what fun to have next…
