"This is incredible." Gohan said. "You guys go up here every night?"

"No, we go up often but we need to make sure we haven't worn ourselves out." Minato said.

Suddenly a group of shadows noticed the four of them and started moving towards the group.

"You remember the evokers we gave you?" Mitsuru asked.

"Yeah, so we're supposed to shoot these things right?" Videl asked.

"Not exactly." Mitsuru said before holding her evoker to her head. "Penthesilia."

As she said that, Mitsuru pulled the trigger and her persona appeared.

"Wait, you shoot yourself to summon a persona?" Gohan asked hesitantly.

"Exactly, Bufula." Mitsuru said calmly as her persona froze one of the shadows in a block of ice.

"Well, no time like the present." Videl said holding her evoker to her head and pulling the trigger.

"I thought so, nothing." Minato said before summoning his own persona.

"In that case let me try something a little different." Gohan said cupping his hands at his side. "Ka-Me-Ha-Me-Ha!"

Suddenly a blue orb of light appeared in Gohan's hands and he launched a beam towards the shadows, severely injuring one of them.

"Impressive, can you do that?" Minato asked Videl.

"No, I can't." Videl said. "Still, I might be able to do something."

The moment she said that, Videl flew towards the shadows and kicked one of them into the wall.

"Archangel, Hama." Minato said calmly as his persona appeared and destroyed a single shadow.

"Please be careful, I sense Death." Fuuka said nervously.

"Arisato, we need to move quickly." Mitsuru said.

"I know, the stairs are just past these three shadows." Minato said.

"I'll try and buy you guys some time, where's Death?" Gohan asked.

"Don't be a fool, it's far too dangerous to fight him yourself." Mitsuru said.

"I can handle it, trust me." Gohan said calmly before flying off.

"What is he doing, we need to avoid Death at all costs." Mitsuru said.

What the, I'm sensing a huge power level, Gohan thought. "What the, what is that?"

Suddenly a massive humanoid creature with one eye and two guns noticed Gohan and shot a bolt of lightning at him.

"That was way too close." Gohan said while dodging the lightning bolt. "Alright, let's take things up a little."

With those words Gohan began charging his energy before transforming into a super saiyan.

"Something strange is going on with Gohan, he's nearly as powerful as Death." Fuuka said in shock.

"Are you sure, how is that even possible?" Mitsuru asked. "Yamagishi, can you lead us to him?"

"I'll try, but please be careful." Fuuka said.

Hold on, there's no way that's possible, Videl thought.

"Is something on your mind Videl?" Minato asked.

"Oh it's nothing, just a stupid thought." Videl said.

"They're just around the next corner, somehow he's holding off Death." Fuuka said in surprise.

"Masenko-Ha." Gohan said before launching another blast towards Death.

No way, Gohan is the gold fighter, Videl thought in shock.

Suddenly a purple circle surrounded Gohan before he collapsed to the ground and fell unconscious.

"This is bad. Penthesilea, blind him." Mitsuru said urgently.

As she said that, Mitsuru's persona launched a blast of ice at Death's face effectively blinding it.

"Grab Gohan and hold on tight." Minato said pulling a small crystal out of his pocket.

"Got him." Videl said quickly just as Minato smashed the crystal and everything vanished in a flash of light.

"You're all safe, that was extremely dangerous." Fuuka said.

"My head, what hit me?" Gohan asked weakly while getting back on his feet.

"Mudoon, it's extremely powerful and it knocked you out instantly." Mitsuru said calmly. "You shouldn't have underestimated him."

"You were right, but I'll be prepared for next time." Gohan said. "I won't hold back."

"Hold back, just how powerful are you?" Akihiko asked.

"Oh well I can show you guys later." Gohan said. "Wait, how did we get back here anyway?"

"You were beaten and we used a Traesto gem, it helps us leave Tarturus if things get dangerous." Minato said.

"Alright Gohan, you have some explaining to do." Videl said. "You're the gold fighter."

"You saw that?" Gohan asked rubbing the back of his head. "Can you please keep it secret?"

"Alright, on one condition." Videl said calmly. "I assume you remember?"

"Yeah, I'll enter the tournament next time." Gohan said before turning to Akihiko. "I guess there's no point in hiding it now, so just wait a second."

With those words Gohan began to gather his energy again and transformed into a super saiyan again.

"This is incredible, he's as strong as before." Fuuka said in amazement. "You said this is holding back?"

"Yeah, I can go beyond this." Gohan said before he continued to gather his energy.

This is unbelievable; Gohan could really do this the whole time, Videl thought in disbelief.

Suddenly a flash of light filled the room before revealing Gohan with a flaming glow and lightning surrounding him.

"This is my full power." Gohan said.

"Well Yamagishi?" Mitsuru asked.

"I don't know what to say, he's like a different person." Fuuka said. "I wouldn't believe it if I wasn't seeing it in front of me."

"Well whatever it is I'm glad you're on our side." Akihiko said as Gohan powered down.

"Hey guys, the dark hour is almost over." Junpei said. "We should head back to the dorm."

"Right, we can discuss this more tomorrow." Mitsuru said calmly.

"King Kai, can you hear me?" asked a voice into his mind.

"Of course, but why would you want to speak with me?" King Kai asked in shock. "I would imagine you have more significant matters to attend to."

"That is precisely why I'm speaking with you, there is a great evil on the planet Earth, something that if we do not stop quickly could threaten the entire universe." the voice said.

"Are you sure, alright what do you need me to do?" King Kai asked.

"I need to know who the strongest fighters on the planet are, I'm going to seek their help for this matter." the voice said.

"Of course, give me a moment to check who's currently on the planet." King Kai said.
