Chapter 25 - Gokun To The Max

Ii took a long good stare at the young man standing before him.  He remembered him faintly from the encounter at camp, but he also remembered he easily disposed of him.
"Don't  you remember how I defeated you before with ease...not even breaking a sweat."
Gokun turned to his left.
"Yeah, I know, but you're missing one thing."
"Oh?"
"While you were stealing the  Dragon Balls to gain power, so did I.  I'm not the same Ii, get it?"
Ii eyed the boy again.  He had no choice but to fight, but it never bothered him.
"You sure are stupid." Ii said.
He pointed at a distant landscape.
"We will fight there got it?" 
Gokun nodded, and the two flew off.

The boys and girls found a safe place to watch the battle from.  They decided not to go far, just in case Gokun needed their help.
"You think he can do it?" Rue asked.
"Lets hope so.  With Ii gaining a power up like that, we'll need a miracle to beat that." Piccolo said.
"Lets hope he is that miracle." Linni finished.

Gokun stood in normal form on a high ledge.  Ii did the same and threatened the boy again.  It wasn't long before they began to fight, but Ii was a little perplex.  He remembered that Gokun could turn into a Super Saiya-jin, but how come he didn't bother to now?
"Trying to prove you can beat me without transforming?" Ii asked.
Gokun ignored and delivered a kick, which Ii avoided.  Gokun delivered another one, but Ii avoided that one too.  Ii laughed at Gokun's efforts, and sent a fast punch back at the boy's face.  Gokun evaded it safely.  Ii threw another punch, but it missed him again.  
He's faster than he was before...
The battle continued, and none of the two fighters showed any signs of energy drain.  Ii was confused at how Gokun could fight at this capacity without transforming, or getting hit.  Finally, Ii believed that something "was" different about Gokun.  

The clouds in the sky began to stir, and lightning began to strike.  Their fantastic powers ripped the sky apart, as the on lookers watched.  Ii  kept fighting, and finally backed Gokun into a cliff side.  He threw a punch, which hit the boy square in the gut.
"You see?  You can't beat me." Ii laughed.
Gokun looked up and gave the beast a long stare.  He began to power up and turned into a Super Saiya-jin.  Ii flew back and crossed his arms.
"Its getting serious now isn't it?"
"For you!" Gokun directed at him.  He powered up some more, and flew at Ii at a great speed.  Ii watched on, waiting for the clash.  When their powers collided, the sky let out a huge boom, which made Piccolo and the others look on in disbelief.  
"You go Gokun!" Linni cried.

After some more tough fighting, Ii was forced to power up himself.  Gokun was turning out to be harder than he anticipated.  The fighting continued, and Gokun eventually revealed to the fiend an ability he learned during his training.
Gokun powered up once again, and turned into Super Saiya-jin 2.  This amazed everyone, and the fighting continued once again.  Ii wasn't pleased with what was happening.  He couldn't understand it.  Gokun was much stronger now, but how could he be overpowering him?  He absorbed the Dragon Balls didn't he?  He should be invincible.
"This is mad!  With the Dragon Balls, I should be the most powerful in the universe, like I was 100 years ago!"
Gokun laughed.
"Funny, it just so happens that the last time the Balls were used, it was only 5 or so months ago.  They're not at full power, so you're at a lost Ii-Shenron."
So that's why Ii's lacking power once again.  This angered the beast, and he punched Gokun away.  
I need to get stronger to defeat them, Ii told himself as he growled at his opponent.
"You think you can still defeat me with those weak moves of yours?!"  
Ii powered up, and gave a sneer.  
"Watch closely..."
Gokun stared at Ii as he powered up for a few straight minutes.  When he was complete, Ii smiled in triumph.
"Lets see if you can dodge this..."
Ii let loose a big power wave, which forced Gokun to shield himself.  He looked up at Ii.
"Should I be slightly pleased with that, because I'm not." 
Ii sneered again.
He shot a quick blast of energy at Gokun, and to the boy's surprise, the beam disappeared into thin air.
"They're gone..." Gokun said.
Then five separate beams appeared from five separate directions, and made a direct hit into Gokun.  Ii laughed, but was soon put back in his place when Gokun reappeared and shot an energy wave straight at Ii.  The attack left injuries on Ii's right shoulder, but it didn't bother him.  
"You're good." Ii said sarcastically. 

The fighting progressed through the day, impressing everyone watching; either from Kami's Lookout or the cliff side where the safe escapees took off too.  It kept blowing their mind at how Gokun had achieved such strength in a short amount of time.  For Kaioshin, he couldn't believe that the ritual made him that strong, because that's all he did.  Vegeta let them in a little secret.
"Gokun lived a tough life; no family no friends until now.  He had to fight to survive."

Ii was getting annoyed once again.  He was being beaten up by someone he didn't even know.  He at least thought it might be Gokou or Vegeta because he saw how strong their ancestors were, but what about this kid?
Gokun could turn into a Super Saiya-jin too, so he must've come from their linage.   Ii took a breather, as did Gokun, and asked him who his ancestors were.  Gokun hated hearing stuff like this...he didn't know.  Not knowing what to answer, Gokun just said,
"It doesn't matter, all that matters is that I'm here to kill you once and for all."
The fighting got real intense, and Ii was sweating bullets.  He could feel his power dropping faster than Gokun's.  Something desperate had to be done.  With a successful escape from Gokun, Ii taunted him saying that he cannot defeat him.
"We'll see." Gokun replied.
Ii smiled.
"You have no idea.  You may have learned more skills than before, but I still have one up my sleeve."
Ii began to power up for a slight second, and out stretched his arms towards Gokun.  The Super Saiya-jin looked on.  He couldn't sense Ii powering up for an attack.  What was he up too?
