Naruto : Omni-Z

CHAPTER 3

Gohan's small form shook as he stood, covered in cuts and bruises. Despite the tears streaming down his face, he clenched his fists, staring defiantly at Recoome.

"I am Son Goku's son. I won't let you win!"

Gohan shouted, his voice breaking but his resolve unshaken. The battlefield was grim. They'd been fighting Frieza's elite warriors for what felt like an eternity, pushing themselves to the brink with each encounter.

Zarbon and Dodoria were tough enough, but now, with the Ginyu Force in the picture, things had taken a brutal turn.

Recoome smirked, his cruel eyes gleaming as he watched the beaten boy struggle.

"You've got spirit, kid. But that's not gonna save you!"

Recoome lunged, his massive leg extending in a powerful kick. Gohan braced for impact, but before he was hit, someone appeared in a flash and caught him. Gohan looked up and saw his father, Goku, standing firm and calm, catching him like it was the most natural thing in the world.

"Don't worry, son."

Goku took out a small, green bean and placed it in Gohan's hand.

"Here, swallow this. It'll help you get back on your feet."

Gohan took the Senzu Bean and swallowed, his energy instantly replenishing, bruises fading, and strength restored. Goku placed a steady hand on his son's shoulder. They'd managed to bring a lot of Senzu Beans on this trip thanks to Naruto's work in replicating them—Goku would have to thank him later. Naruto's skills in bioengineering had been a game-changer; without him, this battle would have been unwinnable.

Recoome's eyes narrowed, annoyed by the interruption.

"Another Saiyan, huh? Doesn't matter how many of you come. You're all going down!"

Goku looked up, his calm expression unwavering as he let Gohan step back.

"Gohan, get behind me. I'll handle this."

The other Ginyu Force members watched with amusement as the new arrival stepped forward. Jeice laughed, elbowing Burter.

"Looks like Captain Ginyu's little party is getting lively!"

Recoome took a step forward, towering over Goku.

"You think you can take me on? I'll crush you just like your kid!"

But Goku's aura began to flare, his power surging higher and higher until it radiated like a blazing star. The smirk dropped from Recoome's face. He hadn't expected this level of power from a low-class Saiyan.

Goku smiled, his eyes narrowing.

"I've got a lot more than just spirit to back me up."

Recoome lunged again, his fist aimed at Goku's face, but Goku sidestepped in a blur of speed, grabbing Recoome's arm and throwing him with incredible force. Recoome crashed into a rock formation, rubble flying as he broke through it. He stumbled to his feet, looking more shocked than injured.

Jeice and Burter exchanged uneasy glances. This wasn't going as they'd expected.

But Recoome wasn't finished. With a growl, he charged up a powerful ki blast, the energy radiating in his hand.

"I don't care who you are, Saiyan! This is the end!"

Goku calmly braced himself, his own ki glowing as he prepared to counter, his strength and confidence unwavering in the face of the Ginyu Force's might.

Meanwhile, Gohan, fully healed, stood behind his father, inspired by Goku's strength and courage. The tide of the battle was turning, and Gohan knew, with his father here, there was hope.
