The Tournament Battles Continue...
Gohan and Toppo continued to stare each other down as their two shades of aura seemed to surround them calmly. Everyone couldn't help but feel the anxiety, the waiting absolutely killing them slowly. Everyone watching back on Earth couldn't even eat or enjoy their food as they saw the entire thing unfold before their very eyes. The fact that Gohan and 17 were nearly eliminated while Frieza was down for the count brought them back into reality despite the two victories prior to this. However, Krillin continued to be mesmerized by Gohan's new found power, "I don't know what happened to Gohan but...whatever he's become saved 17's behind. I can't tell whether or not to count this as luck or a miracle.".
"Probably, both if I had to say. I just hope he's become strong enough to fight that guy on his own," Riley muttered.
The stage started to shake violently, the growing pressure emitted off of their auras indicating that the showdown was going to commence. Gohan slowly formed into a stance, his back foot moving just enough so the it's behind his front as if he was ready to charge. His legs squatted slight, causing his aura to flicker a bit while he balled his fist closest to his back foot while his hand closest to the front curled it fingers as if they were claws. Combined with his body tilted more towards an angle to where his front leg is always facing it's opponent, Gohan had solidified a stance that compliments both his father and Piccolo's style of fighting. All he needed to do now was focus on his opponent and anticipate his moves accordingly as he felt this fight would be decided by whoever gains the upper hand first. Once he mustered up his resolve he decided to make the first move, "Here I go...".
The half-breed took only a single step in order to close the distance between them, his overall speed shocking the god of destruction a bit as he saw his leg raise towards his head at frightening velocity. With seriousness, he used his forearm to defend, allowing the Saiyan's leg to crash into it with bone crushing force. Their was a momentary pause before the aftershock came, the ground cracking beneath them as they stared into each other's eyes. Without warning, they broke out into a short flurry of punches and kicks before disappearing from where they were previously standing. They moved swiftly across the stable part of the broken stage and tried to out pace the other in a contest of speed. Each time Gohan would have seemingly taken the universe 11 candidate's blind spot, his blow would be met with one of his own before vanishing again. In vice versa, Toppo would try to catch the half-breed slipping, however, Gohan seemed rather perceptive, catching whim of his feints rather easily and effectively countering with quick jabs to the stomach.
They weren't effective, but it showed clearly that a contest of speed was not the only thing being fought here. Now growing tired of this little game of theirs, Toppo swung with a right hook aimed at his torso in an attempt to make him back away. But, due to his large size, the half-breed simply leapt into a high knee to the chin, stunning him a bit as he tumbled backwards in pain. The barrage didn't end there as Gohan delivered another quick knee to the same spot before dropping down below his waist in order to sweep one his his legs off the ground with a swift kick. The giant god of destruction became off balance enough for his body to start fall towards the ground, though, he wasn't willing to fall into a position of vulnerability and prevented his fall with the support of his hand. Using his free hand, he pointed at the half-breed who became shock at what he was about to do, "Justice Flash!".
Gohan recoiled at the sight as he crossed his arms in order to defend. He felt the energy pellets push him far away into a boulder, shattering it as it barrage him enough to cause many spontaneous explosions. Toppo kept his fire going, feeling as if he had the advantage now that he's pinned him down with his Justice Flash. But, it was short lived since the smoke suddenly dispersed to reveal the Saiyan blocking the barrage with what seems to be an energy disc emitting from his right hand.
