Gohan lifted the ruins of the house.

"Anyone in here?" He called. He closed his eyes and looked for ki. "Over here!" He shouted. Laki ran over and used some wood beams to move under the rubble. A few moments later, she appeared with a young couple.

"Thank you," They said as Laki lead them to safety.

"Bravo Son Gohan, truly admirable," Ino called. He was standing at the end of the road with Kohga and Iga.

"Not these punks again," Gray groaned.

"I'll handle this," Gohan said.

"No no no, not so fast," Kohga laughed. Ino pulled a small boy out from behind Kohga and threw him to the ground. "Yield, or shall we see the boy's brain matter?" She smiled sinisterly as she planted her boot on the boy's head. Gohan's mind immediately flashed back to Android 16, and he powered up. Before Kohga could react, Gohan kicked her away. He knocked Iga and Ino away just as fast. Kohga grabbed her sword and ran at Gohan.

"Masenko!" Gohan blasted her point blank and caught punches on both sides from Ino and Iga. "You guys have caused enough damage," Gohan threw the two into Kohga. "Kamehameha!" Gohan blasted the three at near point blank range. When the smoke cleared, they were lying unconscious. A large explosion caught his attention. "Natsu, Gray, let's go!" He shouted.

"Water Slicer!" Alssa simply leaped over Juvia's attack. She opened a portal beneath Juvia and teleported her thirty feet her above her.

"Say your prayers!" Alssa flew up and swung at Juvia. Alssa simply passed through Juvia.

"What the?!" Juvia blasted Alssa way with a jet of water. Before she hit the ground, Juvia turned herself into water and splashed against the ground while Alssa crashed nearby. Juvia reformed as Alssa stood back up.

"Impressive, but it's a shame you've been fighting an illusion the whole time," Alssa smirked.

"Your bluffing, you're still wet from when you passed through me," Juvia said.

"Hm, your smarter than you look," Alssa leaned back and fell through a portal.

"Strike from a blind spot all you want, you'll just pass through," Juvia said. A portal opened above her and a large ki blast shot out. It hit the ground next to Juvia and the shockwave knocked her away.

"Then I just won't hit you," Alssa said in her head. Alssa opened a portal behind her and Punched Juvia hard in the face with a ki-powered punch. "Energy attacks do a lot more than harm you physically, so your water body is useless," Alssa started to pummel Juvia.

"Water Claw!" Juvia slashed at Alssa, but she grabbed her wrists and threw her to the ground. Alssa opened a portal and punched Juvia into the air. She charged a ki blast.

"Say goodbye," Alssa launched the beam and hit Juvia square in the chest. She fell to the ground like a stone. "You're a tough cookie."

"Fire Dragon ROAR!!" Alssa leaped out of the way. "Your mine!" Natsu tackled her out of the air. "I got her Gray get Juvia out of here," He said. Gray grabbed Juvia and made an Ice slide down and out of the way. "I don't like it when people beat up members of my guild," Natsu growled.

"Hm, feeling won't let you win," Alssa tried to punch Natsu from behind with a portal, but Natsu simply caught it. "I've seen you fight, don't bother trying," Natsu pulled her through and threw her away. "Fire Dragon Wing Attack!" Alssa slammed back into the ground. "Now Gohan!!" Gohan flew in and plowed Alssa into the ground and knocked her out with one punch to the jaw. Natsu and Gohan ran over to Gray. Juvia was unconscious and bleeding bad.

"Here, Senzu bean," Gohan tossed the bean to Gray. He quickly gave Juvia the bean. Juvia opened her eyes.

"What happened?"

"You got your but kicked," Nastu said.

Wendy heard Goku roar in pain. She took a deep breath and shook herself free from Carla's grip.

"Wait, Wendy!" She ignored Carla and ran back towards Goku.

I shouldn't have left, he needs help. She skidded to a halt. Shiripa was holding Goku by his throat. "Let him go!" Wendy shouted. Shiripa dropped him and flicked a ki blast at her. Wendy leaped over it. "Sky Dragon Wing Attack!" Shiripa didn't flinch against the blast of wind. Shiripa adjusted her footing and blasted Wendy into a tree with a shockwave from her eyes. Shiripa walked over and kneeled in front of Wendy.

"You have spirit, but you're a nuisance," She waved her hand and a rock burst out and knocked Wendy away. "Stone Dragon-"

"THAT'S ENOUGH!!" Shiripa turned to see Goku on his feet again. He powerd up into Super Saiyan with a look of pure rage on his face.

"You barely have enough energy to keep that form, and you can't win with it," Shiripa started to laugh. Goku teleported behind her and knocked her away. "Stupid Saiyan," Shiripa turned and swung at Goku, but he moved quickly enough to dodge her and kick her in the gut.

"Strength isn't everything, a true martial artist knows that!" Goku swung at her head, but Shiripa ducked, grabbed his leg and blasted him with a ki orb. Goku skidded to a halt. He let out a deafening scream and started to power up. The planet started to tremble. With a bright flash, the ground around them started to crumble.

"Goku!" Wendy shouted. When the dust cleared, Goku was now in Super Saiyan 3.

"Hm, I don't have time to toy with you at this power level. You're going to kill yourself by using this form at your level of fatigue," Shiripa turned and started to walk away.

"I don't care if I'm not as strong as Blue, I won't give up!" Goku raced forward, but Shiripa vanished through a portal and Goku demolished a cliff instead. Goku clenched his chest and fell to the ground, reverting back to his base form.

"Goku!" Wendy ran over and turned him over. He was stiff and barely breathing. Wendy quickly started to heal him. This is my fault. I shouldn't have left. I'm sorry. Wendy started to cry. "Come on Goku!" She poured everything she had into her healing. Please, Goku.
