A/N: I know, it was about time I updated. Wow nearly 2 months, this was my longest not updating. But I was having that writer's block, then the internet not working, and then I had to go to high school for the first time! And blah blah blah. Enough of keeping you waiting, enjoy!
Chapter 19: The Rematch
As the ssj Gohan flew towards the creature that had been observing him the whole time, he pressed the red button on the transformation watch. He didn't want his clothes to get all warned out and risk his friends asking what had happened. So he wore his purple gi instead.
With a yell Gohan threw punches and kicks, which the creature all to easy avoided. His opponent then quickly vanished. Sensing him from behind, Gohan managed to land a kick in his face. Being off guard he didn't have time to dodge the powerful Masanko headed straight towards him.
There was a bright flash as the attack hit the target. Or at least that's what young Gohan had thought. All of a sudden he was punched hard in the stomach making him gasp. Grabbing his head, the creature hit him in the face with his knee.
Rebounding back, both of them flew straight towards each other. As they collided with each other. Gohan punched him in the face and he got kicked in the stomach. Gohan dodged his close range wave and punched him in the stomach. Grabbing him though, the creature threw him to the ground hard. As he was about to step on him, the saiyan managed to roll over.
Gohan quickly stood up and wiped the blood on his mouth. "Hehehe. Not bad." Said the enemy. "This should be more fun than I thought." Gohan smiled. "With all the battles I've been through lately, I've managed to get a lot more stronger than I thought I'd ever get."
"Yes. I was hoping that releasing your saiyan side would have that affect on you." Gohan's eyes widened a bit. "W-what do you mean by that?" "Hehehe. You mean you haven't figured it out? Now, you didn't think your saiyan side was acting up all alone." The young saiyan spoke, "What are you saying?" "I'm the one who's been awakening the saiyan side within you."
"But why? Why go to all the trouble?" The mysterious creature started to laugh. "What would be more better than seeing the look on your face, when you've destroyed all the ones you care about."
Gohan smiled. "Well in that case I'll make sure that doesn't happen, because you die right here and now!"
Now, that the saiyan knew it was the mysterious creature who was releasing his saiyan side, all he had to do was kill him for it all to be over. And he intended to do just that.
Gohan vanished from the spot and threw a punch. The creature moved aside evading it, but the saiyan kicked him full force on the stomach. The result of that made him cough up blood. Regaining his composure, he threw a huge energy blast at Gohan.
The attack pushed Gohan back a bit as he managed to grab it in time. With a yell he threw the energy blast up into the air.
As the saiyan looked back to where the creature had been, he was no longer there. He tried searching for his energy, but he couldn't locate it. Looking up into the air he saw a bunch of energy blasts heading straight for him. The young saiyan jumped backwards avoiding them.
Gohan realized that he was standing a few feet from Videl. He was worried that she might get hurt during all this fighting. But there was no way he could get her out of there. That creep wouldn't let him escape.
As he looked around he saw that the police had been standing there the whole time. It amazed him that they hadn't left yet with all this fighting and the buildings being destroyed. He yelled out to them, "Hey! One of you needs to get Videl out of here! I'll hold him off for you to get a chance. Then try to get far away from here!"
They nodded their heads. Clearly they had understood what he had told them. Hopefully his plan to get Videl to safety would work.
As he turned around, the creature suddenly appeared right in front of Gohan. Ducking he evaded his assault. Then with a kick he sent him flying up in the sky. He powered up and flew after him. Gohan disappeared and reappeared right on top of the creature. He thew a punch, but his opponent evaded it and he got punched in the face.
As he quickly looked down below, he smiled as he saw that the policemen had gotten Videl and were now driving to safety. At least now he knew that she would be out of harms way.
"What are you smiling about boy?" Asked the creature. "Now that I know that this city is empty I can fight to my fullest without worrying for anyone's safety." Responded Gohan. "And I think for your own good, you should do the same." The cloaked creature let out a small laugh. "You saiyans are way too confident. And that my boy will be your demise. Like you, I've gotten a whole lot stronger than before.
With a yell, he started to power up. A bright yellow aura started to surround him, showing off just how powerful he really was. Now it was Gohan's turn as he too started to power up to his maximum in super saiyan level.
Gohan knew that he could advance to ssj2, but he'd rather not take the risk. He knew all too well that doing that would awaken his saiyan side and he might end up loosing control again.
Both fighters took their stances. Then in a flash both disappeared. A huge explosion could be heard as both their fists made contact. Each fighter's attacks matched blow for blow as more explosions could be heard up in the sky.
Gohan came in flying towards the creature. He quickly powered up an energy attack and threw it. Just as it was about to hit Gohan he vanished. He then appeared behind the creature who didn't have time to react in time and was hit in the stomach and sent flying to the ground.
The creature stood up and charged towards Gohan who did exactly the same. Gohan hit him with a punch, while he also got punched back. The saiyan hit him in the stomach with his knee. Throwing a punch towards him, the creature vanished and kicked Gohan from behind.
The saiyan got sent flying, but stopped himself in mid air. The creature appeared from above and was about to him with his elbow. Moving to the side Gohan dodged the attack and kicked him in the face.
Gohan back flipped away from the enemy and got into a fighting stance. The creature started to laugh. "Not bad Gohan. That's exactly what I'd expect from a saiyan, but I'm afraid to say that this fight is over." The young saiyan didn't say a word to that.
"Gohan, why do you keep resisting? I know that you saiyans are very proud and thirst to become stronger and have more power. If you come with me you can get a lot more powerful than you are now. You can deny it all you want, but you know that deep down you enjoy fighting just like any other saiyan."
"I've got to admit that your right. The saiyan in me does like fighting, but your wrong if you think I'll be going with you. I have my family and friends and I'll do whatever it takes to protect them."
"Now Gohan, don't be so hasty." Responded the creature. "I don't have to be. I wouldn't ever dare betray them like that. I'd easily give up my life for the people I care about. So, my answer will always be no!"
"Hehehe. It doesn't really matter whether you want to come or not. You will come with me even if I have to force you. Now then, you will see my real speed!" At that instant he vanished from the spot. Gohan tried his best to feel out his energy, but he was moving at incredible speed that he couldn't detect it.
All of a sudden the saiyan was hit with tremendous force in his stomach making the saiyan gasp out in pain. The creature then hit Gohan again with huge force in the face. He continued on the assault, punching Gohan repeatedly. The young saiyan couldn't defend himself since he was moving way too fast.
Gohan was kicked in the stomach and sent flying up into the air. Gohan coughed up a little bit of blood. Regaining his composure he saw him flying towards him. He threw a punch at the creature, but missed when he disappeared. That got him kicked in the face.
"Hahaha. What's wrong Gohan? Can't you keep up?" Said the creature in a mocking tone. Letting out a frustrated growl, the saiyan charged towards his opponent. He threw several punches, but they were all too easily avoided.
The creature punched Gohan several times in the face. He grabbed him by the front of his shirt. "How about it boy? You can't beat me like this. I'll give you one more chance. Come with me and you can stop this humiliation." Through gritted teeth Gohan spoke, "Never." He smiled. "Fine. Have it your way." With a kick, he sent the saiyan crashing onto the ground.
Gohan slowly got up. "I'm no match for him like this. There's only one way I might be able to beat him, but I'd be taking a huge risk. I don't have a choice I have to go all out." "So, Gohan are you about ready to give up?"
Gohan's hair slowly started to stand up as he let out a yell and once again transformed into a super saiyan 2.
The young saiyan just hoped that his saiyan side wouldn't try to take over. He didn't think he'd be able to stop it. All he had was to hope that, that wouldn't happen.
"Hehehe. So, you've decided to transform." Said the creature amused. "Heh, I hope for your sake you can control yourself. Don't want anyone else to end up like your father do we now."
Disappearing from the spot, Gohan quickly punched him in the face. And kicked him in the chin. With a punch to the stomach the creature was sent flying towards the ground. At that moment Gohan, let out a furious energy volley that hit with a brutal force. Gohan then raised his hands to his head, "Masanko-Ha!", and threw the blast.
When the energy wave hit, the place shook because of it's tremendous force. When the smoke cleared, the mysterious foe was nowhere to be seen. Behind Gohan, he appeared. He was about to hit him with a punch, but Gohan grabbed it. Twirling around he threw him through several buildings.
The creature floated back up into the air. "You should be careful boy. Remember I still have the last dragon ball your after." Gohan smiled. "Are talking about this?" He said taking out the four star ball. The enemy's eyes widened. "How did you get that?" It was when he had thrown him through the building that he had swiftly gotten it from him.
Gohan spoke, "Look you took a gamble and you lost. You may have been the cause of my saiyan side getting awakened, but after I kill you I won't have nothing to worry about anymore."
Quickly flying towards him, Gohan threw a punch that went right threw the creature's stomach. He coughed up blood. Cupping his hands together Gohan charged up his attack, "Ka Me Ha Me HA!" Throwing it, the blast hit the creature full force crashing to the ground.
Once again when the smoke cleared there was no sign of him. Sensing the area Gohan could no longer feel his energy level.
Gohan let out a sigh as he powered back down to his normal state. He smiled, "Now then. I have to get back to the other, but before I do I better go home quickly to get washed up." Since he had been fighting he had a bit of blood on him and he didn't want the others asking him questions.
With that he flew towards the Mount Paouz area.

About 20 minutes later Gohan finally arrived at Capsule Corp, where his friends had been waiting for his return.
"Hey look! It's Gohan, he's back!" Yelled Krillin. "So, how did it go? Did you find all of the dragon balls?" "Yup, I sure did." "Great. So, what are we waiting for? Let's summon the dragon!" Said Krillin.
Placing the dragon balls on the ground outside, Gohan spoke, "Shenron Arise!"
The dragon balls began to glow immensely as the skies above darkened. There was a bright flash of light as the dragon emerged from the balls.
"You have collected all seven dragon balls, so you have been entitled two wishes. Quickly name your desires." Spoke the mighty eternal dragon Shenron. Gohan spoke, "Shenron! Please revive all the people who were killed today." The dragon's eyes started to glow red. "Your wish has been granted. Quickly state your second wish."
What the young warrior said next surprised everyone. "Shenron you don't have to grant any more wishes today!" "So be it. I shall take my leave now." With that, there was a bright flash of yellow again as the seven dragon balls scattered all over the Earth once again.
Everybody was left shocked standing there. Why had Gohan told the dragon not to grant any more wishes? That's not what they had planned.
Gohan knew that the second wish was supposed to be used to repair Vegeta's house and all the other building's damaged during the fighting, but something about the battle with the creature didn't seem right. He was a tough opponent and he couldn't have been beaten so easily. Gohan just hoped that he was wrong. At least if anything happened, they would just have to wait 4 months for the dragon balls
Turning to his friends, he spoke, "I have to go." Without saying another word, the young saiyan took off into the sky and flew off before the others had time to ask questions.
