The revival of an old power

"Hello… Brolly" I said coldly.

He grunted in response as he looked at me with eyes devoid of any color other than white. "Kakkorot."

'Aw shit.' I thought 'he's still after dad.'

He extended his hand towards me as a nova of color shrank into the palm of his hand forming a ball of energy. Laughing maniacally he threw it at me. I caught it and sent it back at him. It took him by surprise and it knocked him back a few feet. He powered up into his legendary stage. I responded by turning super Sayajin 2.

We flew at each other exchanging hundreds of blows in just a few seconds, neither one of us gaining the advantage. It was a dead stalemate. Explosions echoed across the planet as Brolly and I fought. I sent a right cross at his with blinding speed and it hit its mark however I was greeted with a fist to the stomach. We separated for a moment as we both powered up energy blasts. Just as Brolly was about to release his blast I instant transmissioned just behind him and let loose with everything I had.

He struggled under the intensity of the blast as it slowly started to over power him until he let out a yell and hit super Sayajin two. He knocked the blast away like it was nothing more than an annoying fly. He moved faster than even I could see as he began to pummel me into a bloody pulp.

I was little more than a moving punching bag to him as I tried in vain to get away. I knew the area well and tried to use that to my advantage but he was too fast. He knocked me into the village that Videl and I first appeared at and I laid in the crater not wanting to move. I ached all over. My clothes were torn and in places burned. My world started to go slowly black as I lost consciousness.

As I opened my eyes I saw nothing. I felt nothing. No gravity. No wind absolutely nothing but darkness. I couldn't even see my own body. I could feel it move but couldn't see anything. I tried to find any indication as to where I was at but could only find a small light in the distance. As I moved towards it I felt an eerie familiarity about it. It felt like a long lost part of myself that I never knew that I had lost.

I finally got close enough to see what was creating the light. A lone figure stood before me creating the light. I couldn't make out facial features or gender, but I knew that it was a Sayajin. It had a tail that was glowing brightly along with the rest of the person's body. The figure turned toward me and raised one of it's arms at me. A ball of pure white energy formed and shot out at me.

As the blast hit my body, that I couldn't see, my vision changed. I saw earth. But it was vastly different. No human buildings stood. Instead buildings of an alien architecture were standing. I could see humans moving about but they all had a type of collar on. My vision caught sight of my friends from high school, Erasa and Sharpner. Though they looked older than when I saw them a few hours ago I could still recognize them. Sharpner had multiple scars over his arms and what I could see of his back through the ripped shirt he was wearing. He no longer held himself proudly. His stance was that of a broken man, with no will of his own. Erasa had a similar stance but she was in considerably better shape. She had a few scars but nowhere near the number that Sharpner had.

It was evident that this was not the world I knew and loved. My musings were cut short as I caught sight of another familiar figure. Her raven hair was down to her waist and unkempt. Scars littered almost every inch of her exposed skin. I could only imagine how many were covered by the rags she wore. Her stance was that of a proud person. A fighter. I finally caught sight of her face and gasped. Her once perfect features were marred and disfigured. It was evident that her nose had been broken a few times as well as her cheeks and jaw. However different she looked I could still recognize… VIDEL.

'What had happened here? This can't be the future. Where is Vegeta? Where is Trunks and Goten?' I thought. My mind was racing. That is until I saw another familiar figure. Brolly. He was walking proudly through the streets with an inflated ego that made Vegeta's look like it was nothing. He began to yell at Sharpner and Videl. Videl responded and got a swift backhand that sent her flying. This upset Sharpner but he didn't make any move to hinder Videl's beating. Brolly laughed and went on his way as other Sayajins came into view. Taking Videl away.

I moved closer and herd Sharpner mutter quietly, "This would have never happened if Gohan were alive." I was in shock. I… was… DEAD? I wandered around and sure enough I found out through the gossip of the remaining human slaves that there had been a brave few who had defied Brolly when he first came but they all died for opposing him.

My vision changed again and I was back in the darkness. This time there was no light there was only a faint voice whispering.

"Where are you? Why did you leave me? Did I mean nothing to you?" a female voice said.

I recognized the voice as Videl's. I tried to answer but a new voice came from a new direction.

"I'm not worthy of him that is why he left. I am a failure I was never good enough for his love." This time it was Goten speaking. Again as I tried to respond another voice came to me.

"You are weak. You should remember your place monkey. You will never be good enough for anyone." Frieza's voice said.

Other voices of my past came to me sometimes more than one at a time. It was starting to get infuriating when the figure engrossed in light appeared before me again.

"These are things hidden deep within yourself. You must let the past go, the cell games, Frieza, and your mother's death. All of it. Just let it go." I heard the figure say.

The words he spoke didn't shock me. What shocked me was that it was my voice coming from the figure. Slowly the light around the figure began to dim. There my body stood. There were some noticeable changes though. It was in a new level of super Sayajin. My hair was down below my knees and was a deep golden color. My forehead was more pronounced and my eyebrows were gone. My muscles were large and defined not bulky.

"What you saw is what will happen if you fail to defeat Brolly. And you will have proven your enemies right. That you are weak and nothing more than a monkey."

I thought back over the fights I had taken part in. Frieza, Radditz, Cell, Brolly twice before, and then myself doubt. I had dealt with all but the last one. And now it was time to lay that one to rest. I never really wanted to fight. I didn't think that I was good enough until I was forced to protect what I loved. Now that had to stop. I had to stand up for what I believe in. I gritted my teeth and moved toward my body in the new transformation. About three feet away from it I hit an invisible wall. It felt familiar, and I recognized it. It was the barrier I thought I had broken when I defeated Radditz. I placed my hand on the barrier and felt cracks and in some places small holes.

I now noticed that during my ramblings I could now see my body. I powered up and started to attack the offending barrier. I felt it start to crumble and break apart under my relentless assault. Blood started to flow from my busted knuckles but I ignored the pain and hit super Sayajin 2. Continuing my relentless assault I could feel the barrier as a whole start to crack and break down. In a violent explosion the barrier shattered. When the dust settled my super Sayajin 3 form smiled.

"Claim that which you have rightfully earned. Remember what you saw for that is the future if you fail." With that he walked toward me and held out his hand.

I took his hand and instantly we fused, becoming one. Power flowed through me like never before. I had complete control. The darkness began to fade as I could now feel gravity and the ground. I was on my back my body aching from the beating I had received from Brolly. I opened my eyes to find myself lying face up in a crater that had to have been a hundred feet deep. To my left I felt warmth touching my arm. As I turned to look my heart froze. It was Videl. She wasn't moving. I moved to check if she was ok but a straight-arm punch knocked me the other direction.

Brolly stood there laughing as I pulled myself from the mountainside he had knocked me into. My gaze switched from him to the body of Videl. She still hadn't moved. I looked back at Brolly, who was still laughing, with malice and hatred. I created an invisible sphere of energy around me as I powered up. The higher my power went the larger the sphere got. Before long the entire mountain was completely engulfed by the sphere. I hit super Sayajin 2, as I had fallen back to my normal form when I lost consciousness. I found that the vision I had had was more than that I felt the third level within my grasp… and I took it. With a shout a flaming aura erupted from the very center of my being as I started the transformation. I harnessed the power of the feared Oozaru form. Focusing my mind to remain in control I could feel my hair growing longer. My tail also grew slightly in length. My muscles bulged again and I could feel uncontrolled power flowing through me. Nothing I had ever felt before could compare to the power that I felt.

Brolly had stopped laughing. He was now shaking with fear. I was creating a wind so powerful that he could barely stay in one place. I felt the transformation finish and stopped shouting. I was glowing slightly as I let the power return to my body. My eyes were shut and I was completely focused. The wounds that I had sustained were now nothing more than scratches and small skin discolorations. My eyes snapped open to focus on the object of my hatred. BROLLY! In an instant I was in front of him starring him in the eyes. A look I had seen many times from past enemies like Cell, Garlic Jr., Frieza, and of course many human criminals. That look was fear and the knowledge that they were out matched and defeated.

I punched him in the gut so fast that my fist appeared to be in two places at once. He fell forward onto his knees gasping for breath. Not allowing him that pleasure I kicked him hard I the ribs. The kick sent Brolly flying straight up in the air. I matched his speed upwards keeping just ahead of him as we approached the atmosphere. I decided that that was high enough and hammered him back towards the ground. This time it was him who looked like he was in two places at the same time. He hit the ground so hard that the crater he made, made the one I created look like a small pothole.

After about a minute Brolly finally collected himself enough to come back after me. Punches flew at near light speed but all were either dodged or caught. His face contorted with anger, as he couldn't touch me. He stopped attacking me to catch his breath. I took this time to go on the offensive. I started out throwing a punch at his head about the speed he had been throwing punches at me. He blocked it, but only barely. Another flurry of punches saw him on his back again laying at the end of a very long crater. This sent him over the edge and he powered up to his maximum and sent a final blast at me.

Sky blue wisps began to form between my palms as I pulled them to my side.

"KA…ME…HA…ME…HA!" it started off just above a whisper and finished in a planet-shattering yell.

A sky blue beam shot from my hands as I thrust them forward and at Brolly and his energy wave. Our beams collided and it was quickly apparent that Brolly's was going to loose. His energy beam was quickly engulfed and so was Brolly. I stopped pouring energy into the beam when I felt Brolly's energy signal disappear. I powered down and fell into a deep and welcome sleep.

I awoke on a strange feeling bed. My eyes immediately shot open remembering what had caused me to fall into unconsciousness. A green hand held my chest down as I tried to sit up and a voice tried to calm me.

"Don' t move too fast Gohan. You may not have fully healed yet."

I turned to address the voice only to find that it was the Namekian I had talked to when I first arrived with Videl. A look of relief swept over face as I laid back down.

"You had us worried there for a moment Gohan, I felt your power flare up and then drop to almost to nothing and then return more powerful than anything we have ever sensed."he said.

"I'm fine." I shot up again but his hand held me still. "Videl! What happened to her?" I asked trying desperately trying to get away from him but stopped suddenly when my body started aching again. I was over come by sleep and the last thing I heard was the door suddenly opening.
