Gohan's transformation into his Beast Form sent a shockwave of energy through the battlefield, the sheer force of his power causing cracks to spider across the ground. His silver hair stood tall, his red eyes gleaming with intensity, and his aura roared with unrestrained might. Even the seasoned warriors on the sidelines—Goten, Trunks, Kale, and the others—could barely contain their awe.
Pan and Bulla, standing side by side, could feel the overwhelming weight of his energy pressing down on them. This was the form Pan had witnessed during the fight against Cell Max, but seeing it up close was an entirely different experience. It was like standing in the presence of a storm.
Pan smirked, though sweat dripped from her brow. "This is it. The form I've been waiting to face. Let's go, Bulla."
Bulla, her Super Saiyan Blue aura blazing around her, cracked her knuckles. "You know it. We're not backing down, not now."
The two girls exchanged a brief glance, a silent agreement passing between them. They had trained together, fought together, and now they would push each other to the limit against Gohan's ultimate power.
With a flash of speed, Pan launched herself at Gohan first. Her aura flared as she punched toward him, aiming for his chest, but Gohan easily deflected her strike with the back of his hand. He moved so fast it seemed effortless, a testament to his newfound strength in the Beast Form.
Pan grit her teeth and immediately followed up with a spinning kick, but Gohan dodged it, leaving her foot to sweep through the air. Before she could regain her stance, Bulla was already on the attack, her movements fast and precise as she unleashed a barrage of punches aimed at Gohan's midsection. Each hit was packed with power, and her Super Saiyan Blue energy crackled with intensity.
But Gohan remained unphased. He dodged and blocked their strikes with ease, his red eyes watching them carefully, almost as if he were analyzing every movement.
"Impressive," Gohan said calmly, a small grin forming on his face. "You've both grown stronger. But is that really all you've got?"
Pan landed a few feet away, her fists clenched tightly, her heart pounding with excitement. "Not even close, Dad. We're just warming up!"
Bulla grinned, wiping a bit of sweat from her brow. "Let's show him what we really learned."
In perfect sync, Pan and Bulla powered up again, their auras flaring so brightly that the air around them shimmered with heat. Pan's transformation went further, her golden Super Saiyan aura deepening as she accessed a higher form, Super Saiyan God, her fiery red hair and aura igniting the battlefield with an ethereal glow. Next to her, Bulla tapped into the full power of Super Saiyan Blue Evolution, her blue aura intensifying as her power skyrocketed to match Pan's.
The ground trembled beneath their combined energy. Now, it wasn't just Pan and Bulla fighting—these were two warriors who had pushed past their limits, each wielding god-like power.
Gohan's expression grew serious as he felt their ki surge. "So, this is what you've been working on in the Time Chamber."
Pan's fiery red aura flickered as she smirked. "Yep. We're not just fighting you, Dad. We're showing you how far we've come."
Bulla stood beside her, her aura pulsing with blue electricity. "Ready, Pan?"
"Let's do it," Pan nodded.
The two girls charged at Gohan together, their speed now matching his. The battlefield became a blur of red and blue as their auras collided with his, sending shockwaves across the landscape. Pan's strikes were swift and fluid, her godly ki weaving through the air like fire, while Bulla's blows were precise and devastating, her Evolution form giving her raw, explosive power.
Gohan blocked a punch from Pan but felt Bulla's kick connect with his side. He grunted, impressed by the force behind the attack. They were working together flawlessly, their teamwork honed to perfection inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. But Gohan wasn't done yet.
With a sudden burst of speed, Gohan pushed back against their combined assault. He caught both of their punches in his hands, holding them in place with ease. His aura flared, and he smiled. "You're strong, but you'll have to try harder than that."
In an instant, Gohan spun them both around, tossing them aside. Pan flipped in midair, landing on her feet, while Bulla skidded back, barely maintaining her balance. They were both panting now, but the determination in their eyes never wavered.
From the sidelines, Goten and Trunks watched in awe.
"Pan and Bulla are insane," Goten muttered, his jaw hanging open. "I've never seen them fight like this."
Trunks nodded, his eyes wide. "Yeah, and Gohan... he's just playing with them at this point. That Beast Form is on a completely different level."
Kale, standing nearby, clenched her fists, feeling the intensity of the battle in her own bones. "It's like they're not even fighting the same person we knew."
Just as Gohan prepared for another attack, Pan and Bulla suddenly vanished, their speeds too fast to track. They reappeared on either side of him, their fists glowing with energy as they unleashed their signature attacks.
"Ka...me...ha...me...HA!" Pan shouted, her hands glowing with the familiar blue energy blast as she fired it directly at Gohan.
"Final Flash!" Bulla roared, her father's signature attack charging in her hands as she unleashed it alongside Pan's Kamehameha.
The two beams of energy spiraled together, hurtling toward Gohan with unstoppable force. Gohan narrowed his eyes and, without hesitation, extended his hand.
With a single swipe of his palm, Gohan's Beast Form easily deflected their combined attack, sending it careening off into the sky where it exploded in a brilliant display of light.
Pan and Bulla, panting from the effort, couldn't believe their eyes.
"How...?" Pan gasped, her energy flickering. "How is he this strong?"
Bulla clenched her fists. "We gave it everything we had..."
Gohan floated above them, his aura calm but overwhelming. "You two have grown beyond anything I could have imagined. But remember, there's always another level. Don't stop pushing yourselves."
He landed softly, his transformation fading, the silver hair and red eyes disappearing as he returned to his normal state.
"Great job," Gohan said, smiling at both of them. "You two are amazing. But we're far from done. Let's keep training."
