DRAGONBALLZ
THE TWISTED MIND
Explosion Of Power
Anger consumed Gohan's entire being. He was furious, everytime he finally had victory within his grasp someone else came along to fight him. He shifted slightly feeling over a ton of debris and rubble shifting on top of him. He chuckled lightly.
He sent out a shockwave with a shout of effort that threw tons of debris out into the sky where he heard a cry of suprise, he phased behind it with a punch but the person gracefuly slipped out of the way while turning to face him. It was Eighteen.
Gohan grinned in a friendly manner as he said "Hey Eighteen how are you?" He said it as if they had met by chance at the mall.
"Well enough, though I would very much like to know what you think your doing," Eighteen stated calmly.
"What? You mean this?" Gohan asked with a goofy grin while looking around. "Just having some fun," He said a moment later.
"By trying to kill my husband!?" Eighteen said with a cold fury in her eyes. The deadly beauty before him suddenly charged with a series of gracefuly arcing kicks aimed at his head and neck which he dodged with
ease.
"Is that all you got!?" Gohan asked her as she pulled back her leg and sent in a barrage of punches each of which he dodged. Suddenly she phased behind him with another kick but he doubled over allowing the kick to sail past harmlessly
before whirling with a punch she barely blocked before she let out a shout and unleashed an endless flurry of punches and kicks which Gohan blocked in an almost bored manner. After a moment he suddenly vanished and appeared behind Eighteen with a backhanded strike that sent her crashing into the remains of an office building before he sent a blast after her, but she managed to kick away from the rubble avoiding the blast. Gohan smirked as he sent a series of blasts,
aiming them so that Eighteen escaped all of them by less than an inch.
'Damn it! He's just toying with me!' Eighteen realized as Gohan started laughing. 'I'll show him!!' She mentally declared as she suddenly whirled around bringing her hands before her and firing a massive wave of purple energy that engulfed
Gohan in a second. Quickly Eighteen began a barrage of blasts into the evergrowing cloud of smoke that glowed from within with the purple residue of the blasts. After a moment she stopped and eyed the smoke cloud wearily, knowing that if she let her guard slip for even a second, that would be all Gohan needed to kill her.
"Look, I'm getting tirred of toying with you," Gohan's voice drifted from behind, and she whirled to find he wasn't there. "This is getting boring and I think we need to do something a bit more interesting to make it fun again, wouldn't you say?"
His voice came from all directions this time.
"Get out here and fight like a man!!" Eighteen roared in anger.
A mocking laugh came from within the still drifting cloud of smoke as Gohan said "See! I'm having fun again already," She threw out a hand towads the smoke cloud and the largest blast yet flew forward, so large was the attack that it
completely enguled the cloud, and everything for miles was engulfed in a purple light as it detonated. For awhile the entire planet shook from the blast. When it stopped Eighteen lowered herself to the ground looking around for any trace of Gohan.
Applaud came from behind and when she turned she saw Gohan standing there clapping. "Well done! That was one heck of a blast!" He congradulated, thoug one could easily hear the mocking edge his voice held. Finally he stopped and just
stood there watching her.
"What are you looking at!?" She demanded.
"Nothing, I was just thinking. I'm gonna let you have one free shot. I won't do a damn thing to block it or avoid it," Gohan replied.
"How do I know your not lying?" Eighteen asked.
"You don't," Gohan shot back.
With a sigh Eighteen began gathering energy into her hands. One of the many advantages to being part android was that she had a limitless supply of energy, this of course didn't mean unlimited strength and speed, that was limited though
she could grow stronger by training just like anyone else. But she never got tired, and given enough time she could make a blast strong enough to kill any of the Z-fighters. The entire city began to shake voilently, cracks and fissures spread outwards from Eighteen as she gathered more and more energy into the growing blast which was already more powerful than the last one. Rubble and Debris lifted into the air all around her as the sheer amount of power she was holding grew
so great she could barely hold onto it.
Gohan still stood in the same place with a sinster grin in place. So far he had been true to his word even though the sheer size of the blast Eighteen was holding blocked him from her veiw. Finally she could not manage any more, and she
fired. The beam that leapt from her hands was nearly a mile across and at least half that tall, it slammed into Gohan who was pushed back amidst swirling debris as the energy slowly engulfed and surrounded him, then tore through the city and out into the ocean where it travelled for miles before exploding with tremendous force. The resulting blast was so great that entire buildings were torn to pieces by the shockwave and a swirling dome of ki rushed outwards from ground zero
evaporating water as it went until it reached land which it shredded in its wake until it hit the city vaporizing everything in its path. It was so bright that Eighteen had to close her eyes and cover them to avoid blindness, and the sound was deafening beyond anything she had ever heard before. The winds that picked up blew her backwards through dozens of battered and broken buildings and soon the spot where she had been standing was also engulfed, and the dome stopped,
then slowly faded.
The picture of destruction left behind was incredible. No war had ever yielded such a sight. A massive crater nearly a hundred miles across had been formed, half on land, with the last five or so miles being within the city limits, and the other
half in the ocean which even now was pooling into the crater. What few buildings had still been standing within the city had either been vaporized byt the blast, or torn apart by the shockwave. And from the spot where Eighteen had stood all the way to the ocean's edge was a chasm that had been carved into the earth far deeper than the crater.
Eighteen slowly pulled herself out from under some rubble, her vision blurrd and her ears ringing. "I got you," She said slowly with a savage grin.
Up above Goten and Trunks looked down at the results of the blast in total shock.
"Maybe we didn't need to come after all," Trunks muttered.
"Check that out!" Goten kept saying.
Eighteen took a few minutes to regain her senses, but no sooner was hearing and vision back to normal than Gohan phased right in front of her causing her to stumble back in suprise. The saiyan had some light burns and even a scrape or
two that he had not had earlier. Rage filled his face.
"You actually hurt me," He snarled hatefully, all amusement gone from his face. "Of all the weaklings on this planet you actually caused me harm," He said again. Then with a furious yell he came forward with a brutal punch to the androids
face sending blood flying from her mouth as she flew back with a cry of pain tearing through countless buildings until she flew out of the city and crashed into a mountain range.
Gohan chuckled after a moment when nobody attacked him, relief flooded through him. He would never admit it, but he felt tired and he could use a rest.
Suddenly in the sky above he heard a cry of "FUSION-HA!!" Then a bright light swallowed the city.
Gohan had only one thing to say. "Shit,"
