The History Of Gohan

Chapter 13

Dragon Ball Z: History of Gohan - Chapter 13

The rain grew heavier as the wind picked up. It seemed as though if the androids didn't destroy West City, the dangerous weather would.

"What happened to you, Cold?" Future Gohan began in desparation, "Three years ago, a blast like that would have completely destroyed you, and here you are, standing as if nothing happened at all!"

"What I did is irrelevant at this point, child. All you need to know is that I am unstoppable! Fighting back is useless!"

"Yeah, well you may be able to take a hit pretty decent, but," Future Gohan hovered back several feet, closer to Yamcha, Tien, and Present Gohan, "I wonder how well you can take four hits.."

"Alright! 16, 17, 18! Get out there and help him out! Each of you pick someone and defend Cold!" Gero ordered, pointing to the skies where a heated battle was about to begin. Android 17 and Android 18, who had both been itching for a fight for quite some time now, immediately leaped into the air to do as they were told. Android 18 attacked Tien as Android 17 attacked Present Gohan.

"16, why aren't you out there fighting?" Gero asked frantically.

"I do not wish to fight."

"Do I look like I care? You better be grateful that I let you out of stasis, you machine! Now get out there and protect our mission!"

Android 16 stood silently.

"Fine, factory recall!" Gero said as he took 16's place in the battle. Ironically enough, he was squared up against Yamcha once again, who, this time around, was putting up a much better fight since he was not attacked by surprise.

"Guess this just leaves you and me..." Future Gohan stated, his golden hair waving in the fierce winds.

"If your father couldn't even scratch me, what makes you think you will do any better?"

"I don't have any evidence to suggest I'll do any better," Future Gohan clenched his fists as he sparked his aura, "But I'm the one who spared your sorry life years ago, and I'm not going to let anyone else take a beating for my bad call.." He suddenly darted in the direction of Cold, "Rhaaaaaaaahhhh!" and jabbed his elbow into Cold's face, knocking him back slightly.

"Your energy tasted good, young man.. I've been craving more of it here lately, you know?" Dr. Gero insulted Yamcha while fighting him.

"Too bad, but you can taste my fist!" Yamcha shouted as he swung his fist toward Gero's face, only to be caught by Gero's quick reflexes. Gero punched Yamcha strongly in the stomach. He was able to collect himself quickly and continue the scuffle.

"Not bad.. Your speed is impressive, young one." Cold admitted. He was able to talk like this after a devastating blow due to his newly-gained lack of pain, which he was utilizing greatly today.

Future Gohan said nothing; he simply let out a series of punches and kicks, all of which were guarded by Cold with minimal effort. Wishing to break the combo, Gohan vanished behind Cold and quickly kicked him in the back. While he had a free shot, he immediately grabbed Cold's tail, as it was completely vulnerable for an instant.

"Hey, you're kinda cute, you know that?" Android 18 toyed with Tien.

"Can it, cyborg freak!" He harshly replied as he punched Android 18 with great power, his first substantial strike onto her.

"Is this really your best strategy, fool? Grab me from behind? Do you have no pride?" Cold asked, not seeming threatened, but annoyed, by Future Gohan.

Future Gohan ignored his questions, "Guys! Keep your eyes open!" he vaguely shouted to his fellow Z Fighters as he swung King Cold toward Dr. Gero with amazing force from his tail.
