Kami dove behind the nearest out cove to dodge another onslaught from Garlic Jr. The guardian knew that he was limited in his options now that Garlic Jr was immortal but he didn't think that he would be so outclassed. Once his guardian aura was spent Kami had no choice but to retreat to try & figure out another way to fight him. Unfortunately all the damage Garlic Jr received was instantly regenerated due to his immortality. As a final gambit Kami began to glow, even Garlic Jr was shocked by his choice of action but knew he had nothing to worry about. Kami began to push his body causing his lost guardian aura to reignite & the aura to suddenly weigh on Garlic Jr. "You're a fool" smirked Garlic Jr "All of this is for nothing, my father died while you sat on your lofty perch". As Garlic Jr spoke he grew angrier, now each statement came with a blow. By the end of his tirade Kami could no longer use his aura for offense & was simply using it to heal his body. Garlic Jr took one last look at Kami & his eyes began to glow. Garlic Jr knew that his darkness eye beam attack would kill Kami by shooting two thin purple energy rays from the eyes & firing it straight through Kami's head. Before the attack could begin Garlic Jr began to sense his Spice Boys aura's disappearing. It was unfathomable to think that his elite warriors would lose. It was worse as he could now feel Goku & Piccolo coming towards him. Garlic Jr watched as both opponents walked towards him, he kept his hands wrapped around Kami's neck. No words were spoken Garlic Jr turned & while dragging Kami behind him, Garlic Jr hovered over to his enemies. Garlic Jr began to gain a yellow aura & his body began to shake. Garlic Jr threw Kami at Piccolo's & Goku's feet & began to smile. As Garlic Jr entered his transformed state, Garlic Jr.'s skin became darker, becoming massive in size & muscle built increasing his strength & power far beyond what he showed while battling Kami. When at his strongest in this state, Garlic Jr.'s pupils & irises disappear, & he gained a yellow aura. Garlic Jr fired a combination of many energy waves, much more powerful than the average ki blasts & fired at a very rapid rate. Piccolo dodged while Goku grabbed Kami & dove down the corridor dropping of Kami with the others. Goku could hear Chi-Chi running up & down the hallways looking for Gohan while Krillin, Tien, Yamcha & Chiatzou were slowly making there way towards the battle. "Stay here & watch him" was all Goku said before running back full speed. When he reached the atrium he saw Piccolo & Garlic Jr releasing bright flashes of light from their eyes in a power struggle. Goku went to charge but Garlic Jr punched Piccolo & moved behind him to elbow him in his back. Then, Garlic Jr backhanded Piccolo into the ground & flew after him. Finally, Garlic Jr. grabbed Piccolo by the neck & flew downwards to slam him into the ground, inflicting a significant amount of damage. Garlic Jr. looked at Golu & launched an energy ball from each hand, before firing a third powerful ball from both hands forcing Goku to dodge. When Goku looked up Garlic Jr was rushing at him at full speed with Piccolo being caught up in a lariat in Garlic Jr's arm. Not able to dodge in time Garlic Jr smashed both opponents threw multiple pillars until he reached a wall. Instead of stopping Garlic Jr forced both fighters to bust through the wall where he let the both of them fall to the ground. Not to be deterred both men kicked back up off the ground & got into combat positions. Both took off their weighted clothes for better speed. Piccolo stated "He is capable of causing much more damage to us than in his previous form. However, this form's bulky state causes a noticeable decrease in his speed. This should allow us to more easily counter & outmaneuver Garlic Jr. in battle". Goku nodded then charged straight at Garlic Jr. Goku suddenly slid forward & launched a brutally powerful elbow strike into Garlic Jr's gut, delivering enough force to shatter his body completely. Goku then cupped his hands together & reeled back, then slammed his fists into Garlic Jr's chin. The impact knocked him upwards as Piccolo leaped over Goku. Piccolo stretched his arms by expanding & contracting the cells in his body through willpower. This allowed him to grab Garlic Jr & pull him close to fire a very powerful energy wave shot from a single hand at point blank into Garlic Jr's face. The blast blew him backwards & Garlic Jr spun in the air landing on his feet. He began to fire recklessly attempting to destroy his opponents & was able to tag both fighters. Goku ripped off his burning gi top as Piccolo regrew the arm that was blown off. Taking this time Garlic Jr charged again. Garlic Jr once again grabbed them both by the face, but this time they worked together & pulled Garlic Jr to the ground. Garlic Jr pulled his arms back & released a blast into the ground. The blast fired up into the sky forcing Goku & Piccolo to dodge. As they fought Krillin, Tien, Chiatzou, Kami, Yamcha & Master Roshi watched from a containment barrier created by Kami. Within that barrier Kami used what little energy he had to heal the fighter's wounds. "They're amazing" stated Chiatzou. "How can they be so powerful" questioned Yamcha as they watched. "Those two are something else, we could never truly reach them" said Tien. Krillin laughed. It started low then little by little it grew. "Its our fault" he said. "We could all sense it, except for the one I fought & lost to, they were all pretty much equal in strength". The reason we're barely clinging to life & those two are still fighting is because we don't try hard enough". Krillin slowly pulled himself up to his feet. "I train every day, but outside of going over the basics & firing energy waves at the ocean I've barely progressed since the tournament. Those few times I trained with you Yamcha you even admit that you hardly push yourself beyond exercises". Tien decided to defend himself "I train constantly every day; I push myself from sunrise to sunset I am not like you". "You're also not them" stated Yamcha. "You hold back in your training for Chiatzou. We all know that you can't get stronger working with someone that much weaker than you". "What will you do" asked Master Roshi. "You're all more powerful than anything I've ever seen & honestly I never dreamed there was a strength beyond Goku & Piccolo. This could be the greatest threat this world has ever known or just the tip of the iceberg. You know your weaknesses, you know your flaws, do you surpass them or let them define you & wait for these two to rescue you?" Behind them they heard quiet sniffling. Chi-Chi stood there with a sleeping Gohan in her arms. "Goku sees you all as his rivals" she said quietly. He sees Krillin as someone who is weaker in strength but believes that your strategies & techniques will one day defeat him, so he works to be smarter. Tien, the way Goku speaks you were an even greater challenge than Piccolo & said he can't wait to face you again" she chuckled "You're the only person he thinks losing to will be fun. Yamcha he fully believes he must work his punches up to the level of your wolf attack cause as he puts it THAT WAS THE BEST HIT I'VE EVER TAKEN. You've lost something because you didn't need to push yourselves. But now my husband needs you all to get stronger. He needs you to inspire him just like his strength inspires you". "What about me" Chiatzou asked. "He thinks that since you can move stuff with your mind you must be to smart for his to even try to outthink" she laughed. All of them smiled while standing to their feet. They would support; they would push themselves & they would fight. Even if this was a fight far beyond their abilities, they would fight. It was at that point a massive blast eclipsed the battleground & when they looked down they saw Piccolo & Goku on the ground while Garlic Jr was on his knee gasping for breath. "Why won't you die" Garlic Jr gasped through breathes. "Its not hard, just surrender yourselves to my omnipotence, my immortality, my Makyan strength. When I take the life of Kami I will become the new guardian of this world & all will bow before me". As he spoke, Goku & Piccolo began to stand. Neither spoke, both simply began to charge an attack.
