Vegeta
At 450 times Earth's gravity, Vegeta was in the middle of his daily work out. He was sweating hard, pushing his body, constantly trying to reach new limits. When suddenly he felt Gohan's ki take a huge leap. 'What the fuck?' Vegeta stopped training. Concentrating on Gohan he could tell the boy was abnormally angry, why he hadn't a clue and really wasn't interested. What had his attention was how much power Gohan was emitting. Falling to his knees Vegeta violently shook his head trying to deny it. 'NO! NO WAY CAN THE BRAT BE EMITTING THAT MUCH POWER!' Denial turning to rage Vegeta stood back up he said to himself quietly "Hump, the brat's heading my way. And he's still pissed. He better not be in the first form. I only felt his power jump once though." Not getting any more time to ponder, Gohan punched right through the ceiling not stopping his flight at all. He slammed down into the floor 10 feet away from Vegeta. His impact created a huge crater destroying most of the GR's floor. From his position, one knee on the ground the other held up only the foot making contact, Gohan raised his head and made eye contact with Vegeta.
"Spar now." Was all Vegeta heard before the kid rushed him faster then he could see. Fazing to Vegeta's right Gohan placed his hand on Vegeta's shoulder. Before the Prince could react Gohan had 2 finger's to his forehead and the 2 were on a distant desert planet. "Power up now Vegeta, 2nd form, I know you can do it. Now if you even want to try to live through this do it!" Came Gohan's cold command.
"Do you mean to insult me brat? You just interrupted my training and ruined the Gravity Room, DAMIT! Bulma is gonna bitch about it to me." Finishing his snide complaint Vegeta started powering up. First he easily popped into the first transformation. His muscles bulged and his hair turned yellow. "Alright boy prepare to witness the full power of your prince. AAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!" Vegeta was hovering off the ground. He was hunched over with his fists tightly clenched, his body started shaking from the influx of power. He had only managed to ascend to this form once before.
Flashback
He had been in the GR for 18 hours, this was it he was going to do it. He could feel the power bubbling just out of his grasp. 'Today is the day I attain what is mine. I have spent months in the first form. I have full mastery of it. I will achieve this next transformation NOW!' With his entire being focused on that single thought Vegeta was hunched over with his fists clenched, sweat was pouring off his body, he paid it no heed. 'Ascend damit!' He continued to think. 'Why can't I do this? I have the necessary base power, I even have full mastery of the first form!' Switching from thoughts to yelling Vegeta's voice rang throughout Capsule Corp. his rage could be clearly heard in every word. "I WILL ASCEND NOW, FUCK! I MUST DO THIS NOT ONLY FOR MY SELF." He continued but his voice was barely a whisper as he said the last line to himself. " but for Bulma, for Trunks my son and heir. I must have this power I must be strong enough to protect them. I need to be stronger." Realizing he was not strong enough to protect his own family pushed Vegeta over the breaking point.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
His scream of rage, and pain was heard by everyone within several blocks of Capsule Corp. His hair started elongating and it's point's separated into more points. It's color changing from a pale yellow to a deep rich gold. His muscles bulged increasing with the new massive power flooding his body. He grew several inches taller. His aura had erupted around him, small bolts of blue electricity surrounded his rapidly pulsing golden aura. He was nearly glowing, his power emanating off him. The Earth was shaking as Vegeta continued powering up to the maximum he could within this new form. He lusted to feel his new full potential. The force of his presence was to much and the floor of the GR was eaten away, the pieces hovering several feet above the ground. Hitting his max Vegeta's power exploded around him. The GR blew up. The ceiling and walls were vaporized in the rush of raw energy. A massive vortex of dirt was caught in the air swirling around Vegeta. Opening his eyes for the first time since, he saw the damage he had caused to Capsule Corp. A huge crater was all the remained of the GR. Part of the garden had been hit by his energy, the missing wall was proof. All the windows had shattered. Realizing he made a huge mistake in where he chose to finally ascend Vegeta powered down. The rush of power dissipating. Bulma came sprinting up from her lab only to fall flat back on her ass. Mouth agape and eye's bugging out of her head.
She glanced up and saw her husband floating there above the crater. He was panting heavily, most of his clothing was ripped and split. But what caught Bulma's attention was the massive smile on his face and the strangely happy sounding laugh coming from him. Bulma stood up and walked out onto the front lawn. She got a good look at all the damage. Her anger flared again. "VEGETA! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO THIS TIME! HOW DID YOU EVEN DO THIS! THE GR CAN HANDLE MOST ANYTHING YOU THROW AT IT. AND I KNOW YOU KNOW BETTER THEN TO FIRE A FINAL FLASH AT THE WALL!"
Still laughing Vegeta descended down to stand next to Bulma. Finding he was entirely drained he ended up on his knees instead. Out of breath still he answered. "I- I did it finally." Looking up he locked eyes with Bulma. Seeing her confusion he could no longer contain the wave of emotion that was pouring off him.
:: BULMA I FINALLY ASCENDED TO THE 2ND LEVEL! THE POWER! I HAVE NEVER BEEN THAT EXHILARATED IN MY LIFE! ALL MY HARD WORK HAS FINALLY PAID OFF! I CAN KEEP YOU SAFE. BOTH YOU AND TRUNKS.::
Bulma was literally floored. For the 2nd time that day she fell on her ass. Vegeta's happiness and excitement were overwhelming. Bulma could feel it rushing through their bond uncontrollably. ::What do you mean Vegeta you have always been able to keep us safe? You are one of the strongest people in the universe.::
::No woman.:: Vegeta retorted. He had finally regained his composure and returned to his normal attitude. ::I was weak. Kakarrot's brat's power far exceeded my own. But now I am a power never seen but once. Now I can protect you and our son. Now you will be safe. However I must apologize for the damage I caused. I should have been trying to do this somewhere else. I had forgotten the raw power that your body releases when you transform for the first time. With no control it caused a lot of damage. Even more since the 2nd form is far stronger.::
Sighing Bulma couldn't be mad at her husband. She finally understood why he had constantly been pushing himself everyday. Harder even then before the androids had appeared. And she was glad that he was so happy. Returning to speaking she said playfully. "Well mister looks like you won't be able to train for awhile. It's going to take me a while to rebuild the GR from scratch. And you will be helping this time. I am going to teach you how to fix it. So I won't have to hear you whine every time you ruin it. I know you Saiyan's are actually very intelligent, no matter how much you stick to being warriors."
"Yes well there is a reason I am so arrogant."
End Flashback
Yes, Vegeta hadn't tried ascending again since that day. But he new that Gohan would tear him apart if he didn't give it his all. Continuing to power up his hair changed from a pale yellow to the striking gold of an ascended saiyan. His aura exploded around him. Blue electricity flashing everywhere as he continued screaming. His blue spandex suit grew with his new height and bulging muscles.
"Wow Vegeta seeing how long it took you, I'd say this is only your 2nd time ascending. This won't be as fun as I thought." Gohan taunted. He stood waited with his arms crossed smirking at Vegeta's display of power. Reaching his max Vegeta's roar ceased as his energy exploded around him, still unstable at his full power from lack of practice. "Ya know what Vegeta, I am really pissed and I don't want to just slaughter you so I will fight you in my first form." Said Gohan with a vicious smirk. He dropped from his ss2 state to his first form. Faking a yawn to show his boredom Gohan floated their waiting for Vegeta to attack.
"That mistake is going to cost you this fight brat." Was Vegeta's sneering response. "NOW GET READY TO FEEL THE POWER OF THE PRINCE OF SAIYANS!" Roared Vegeta as he flew at Gohan full speed. Gohan dropped into his fighting stance. Then charged at Vegeta. Meeting, the 2 super powers slammed together, fists and knees coming together with tremendous power. Vegeta had a slight power advantage but Gohan relied on speed when fighting and even in his first form he was quick enough to keep up when Vegeta went for a power hit. So going blow for blow with the Prince was a bad idea. He quickly shot down to the ground. Vegeta came down with the force of a mountain behind his kick. Fazing out, leaving Vegeta to stand in the massive crater he had just created, Gohan reappeared behind Vegeta and sent a right hook at his head. Expecting this Vegeta ducked and spun, he swept his leg along and knocked Gohan off balance. Then Vegeta caught him on the chin with a nasty uppercut.
Gohan was sent flying high into the clouds. Vegeta fazed out to appear above him and laced his fingers together. He threw a jackhammer right into Gohan's stomach. Gohan hit the planet with enough force to throw it out of orbit. Flying out of his crater till he was level with the Prince, Gohan snorted "Looks like this will be interesting." With that said the 2 collided again.
Fighting back and forth across the planet they fought for 5 hours. Approaching the 6th, Vegeta was tiring out. Every hit he landed on Gohan should have been a devastating blow. But the boy seemed almost unaffected like he had when they first began sparring. If it weren't for the tattered remains of his Saiyaman outfit, his bloody lip, and the several gashes on his arms and legs. Vegeta would have thought he never landed a blow. 'Gohan's stamina is preposterous.' He thought.
Seeing his foe panting heavily Gohan decided to end the fight. He had noticed it was getting hotter and hotter on the planet. Looking over he saw they were heading towards a star. 'Huh we must have knocked the planet out of orbit with our fight. Good thing I brought us out here.' Snapping out of it, Gohan yelled to Vegeta. "Hey the planet is heading towards that star. We need to end the fight. Final Flash vs Kamehameha lets go." With his message delivered Gohan flew to be level with Vegeta. He bent his knees and cupped his hands at his side. Entering the famous stance of the kamehameha. As he began focusing his energy he had a sudden thought. 'Why was I even so angry today? Why did I freak out and reveal that Saiyaman is also the Gold Fighter. Sure not many people new about the Gold fighter, he had only made one appearance, and you could only see him from behind on the hotel's security camera, but still his first alter ego's appearance had a certain reputation to it. This spar really helped me calm down. I have been meaning to fight Vegeta for a while. Especially since I felt him ascend.' Finished thinking, Gohan began chanting. "Ka...Me...Ha...Me..."
Only to hear Vegeta "FINAL FLASH!"
Mentally blocking Vegeta's voice Gohan finished his attack to meet Vegeta's halfway. "HAAAAA!" His wave shot forward to meet Vegeta's golden one. All his ss2 energy focused into his attack, Vegeta was winning their competition. Gohan couldn't let Vegeta win for several reasons. The most important was Vegeta didn't know the instant transmission and that star was pretty close. Besides that though, this was the first serious spar he had had with Vegeta in several years. And he had a reputation as the strongest warrior in the universe to uphold. His Saiyan pride could have played a part as well, but he blocked those thoughts and instead started laughing.
He yelled loud enough that it carried over the sound of their raging beams clashing. "Well Vegeta you are put up a good fight but it's time to finish it." With that said Gohan effortlessly ascended to the second form. After the Cell Games he had spent the first year constantly in his ss2 form, working to attain full mastery of it. Smirking he powered up so that he was only just stronger than Vegeta and then sent his power into his blast. Just before Vegeta was overwhelmed and knocked out Gohan yelled "GOOD NIGHT SWEET PRINCE!" His trademark taunt he always yelled when he finished Vegeta in a spar.
'Dam that kid. One day I will beat him.' Was Vegeta's last thought before fading into unconsciousness. Gohan fazed over to Vegeta And grabbed him before he could fall to the ground. Putting 2 fingers to his forehead Gohan stretched his senses out searching for Piccolo's ki. Finding it he materialized moments later Vegeta in tow, onto the Lookout.
"Hey Piccolo. Is Dende around?" Gohan asked.
Startled by their sudden appearance he opened his eyes and stood up from his meditative pose. "Hey kid, I didn't sense you and Vegeta fighting. But now I see my suspicions were correct, you did learn the instant transmission from Goku. Anyway Dende is right behind you." Piccolo answered with his deep voice.
Turning around Gohan saw Dende. "Hey Dende." Was all Gohan got out before Dende hugged him.
"You need to visit more often Gohan. Piccolo and Mr. Popo are very routine about everything. I need some excitement in my life. And watching the troubles of the people of Earth is so boring. All of them are so petty. Or their problems are to big for me to do anything about. Like World hunger or something. Anyway let me see to healing you two." With that said Dende put his hands up by Gohan's chest and a faint glow surrounded his body as Dende began healing him. He then healed Vegeta. Thanking him and saying his goodbyes Gohan took off with Vegeta. It was late, his mother would be furious. But he was happy. He had been cooped up for months. No training and he had really needed that spar. Arriving at Capsule Corp. He set Vegeta down and slapped him to wake him up. Groggily Vegeta got up acknowledged Gohan then said "You will come by tomorrow at 8 am to help me repair the damages you caused. With that he nodded to him before walking inside without another word. Gohan took off home.
He had yet to power down from ss2 he was just as comfortable in it as in his base form. So he shot off at extreme speed, and reached his house minutes later. Walking to the door, he knew she was waiting for him. Gohan tried to steel himself before knocking. His mother was going to be livid. She had told him to be home right after school. Now nearly midnight he was in for the pan beating of his life. Then once she satisfied her beating of him she would talk his ear off for at least an hour he was sure. Sighing he let himself in and walked to the kitchen. "Hello mom."
