"So your Goku's son. It's a pleasure to meet you Gohan." Mirajane said as she handed him something to eat.

"So dad mentioned me?" Gohan yawned. Goku and Vegeta had gotten up early to go train. Goku asked Gohan to come, but he wanted to stay with Videl.

"A little bit. He mainly went into how you mostly gave up fighting for your education. Don't worry though, he made sure to emphasize how proud of you he is." Mira chuckled.

"From what I hear, you can also do that Super Saiyan thing," Gray said.

"Yup, although it's not my true power. I was out of the fighting game for a while and I only just got my true power back. My body triggered the Super Saiyan form because I've been using it more recently." Gohan explained.

"Ah, so it was easier for it to bring that power out, I get it," Mira said.

"So, you said your dad is famous?" She asked turning to Videl.

"Yup, for stealing Gohan's glory a long time ago. It's a long story." Videl laughed. Gohan couldn't sense Vegeta and Goku's ki, but he could feel the energy from their attacks.

I hope they don't wear themselves down too much, we need to save Senzu beans. At least they've trained to lessen Blue's stamina drain.

"One, two, one, two, one, two, keep pushing!" Happy chanted as Natsu did push-ups.

"Next time I see that punk with the chains, I'm gonna melt that smug look right off his stupid face!"

"Aye, sir!" Happy cheered.

"That kind of reminds me of training with dad," Videl smiled.

"What, him not doing any work while you push yourself?" Gray chuckled.

"Yeah, that's about right,"

"HaaaaaAA!" Peppira transformed into a Super Saiyan 2. "This is incredible! Those two really figured out the kinks with these forms. How did you figure out how to do this stuff?" She asked Alssa.

"Right, you weren't here for that meeting. To keep it short, I figured out a way to access their memories and learned everything I could about their techniques, fighting style, and history." Alssa said.

"To defeat an opponent, you must understand them," Peppira said.

"Exactly." Alssa smiled.

"How's it coming?" Shiripa walked into the hall.

"Excellent, I'm more powerful than- your face!" Peppira exclaimed. Several large, black marks covered Shiripa's face. "You look like a cracked egg!" Peppira rubbed her hand over the marks.

"I'm fine!" Shiripa pushed her hands away. "I just tried to bring out more of my true power in this body. It worked, but caused this." Shiripa said, gesturing towards her scars.

"Well, as long as you're okay," Peppira said softly.

"If I had a watch on I'd be looking at it really condescendingly right now," Allsa said.

"You always gotta be solid cheek?" Peppira snapped.

"Yup, now let's get back to it."

"Hey Vegeta, can you show me that new power you got in the tournament?" Goku asked. "Maybe it's strong enough that I would have to go back into Ultra Instinct."

"I doubt it," Vegeta grunted. However, with a mighty roar, he unleashed his evolved Super Saiyan Blue form.

"Now this will be fun." Goku powered up into Kaio-Ken.

"HEY GUYS!" Jet skidded to a halt between the two Saiyans. "Erza has called a meeting, and she wants you two there." Jet bolted away just as soon as he arrived.

"Alright, Lucy and Virgo will take Goku and Vegeta under the barrier to a concealed area before entering. You'll have to do your best to find and stop Shiripa." Erza said. The two Saiyans nodded. "That means the rest of us will have to keep her goons and those creatures busy. Myself, Gohan, Natsu, and Gajeel will handle the more powerful of her followers."

"Alright, I've been itching to deck that Miga punk!" Natsu cracked his knuckles.

"I thought you said his name was Iga." Happy said.

"Well whatever it is, I'm gonna kick his butt!"

"Aye, sir!"

"Quiet you two!" Erza snapped.

"Sorry," Natsu whimpered.

"Mirajane, I'm trusting you to hold down the fort and look after Wendy, make sure she rests."

"Right Erza." Mira nodded.

"When we're out there, fight in pairs, watch each other backs. Now let's get out there and win!"
