Gohan couldn’t get that unforgettable day out of his mind. You would think he would love to remember the day he achieved Super Saiyan 2, but he didn’t. That was the day he transformed and let his amazing new power go to his head. He had foolishly refused to destroy Cell, even when his father insisted. He grimaced remembering Goku sacrificing himself all because Gohan didn’t finish Cell off sooner.
And now Goku was dead and unable to be revived with the Dragonballs because he had been revived before when he died from Piccolo’s Special Beam Cannon. During the fight with Buu, he had only been able to stay in the real world for one day to compete in the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament.
Gohan attacked Brolly head on, but the evil Saiyan blocked every one of his punches and kneed him in the gut. His Super Saiyan strength wasn’t enough. “Gohan, did you hear me?” yelled Yamcha. “Turn Super Saiyan 2!” Gohan turned to face him.
“I’m sorry, Yamcha,” he said. “But I can’t achieve that power at will anymore.” They all gasped. He turned back to Brolly. “But I don’t care,” he growled. “I’m gonna take this guy on one way or the other.” He powered up and his ki aura grew, forming a crater in the sand. “18, let’s get outta here!” cried Krillin. They both blasted off and flew away from the island. Master Roshi ran inside with Yamcha. Goten flew away to meet up with Vegeta, Bulma, Trunks, and Bra at their house near Capsule Corp.
Gohan charged at Brolly again and again, letting loose a flurry of punches of kicks. Brolly punched him in the face and knocked him into the water. A second later, Gohan came flying back up and landed a punch on Brolly’s stomach, who grabbed his arm and tossed our hero at the Kame House. He smacked into the house so hard, the island shook. Brolly laughed at him.
“You can’t beat me!” he declared. “Even your pathetic wimp of a father was no match for me.” Those words struck Gohan hard. Something snapped in his brain. He could feel his restraint slipping. That feeling was somehow familiar from the fight with Cell. He started screaming. The island shook violently. He began to transform again. His hair grew bigger and his muscle mass increased.
“Maybe there’s more to Kakarrot’s son than I thought,” said Brolly. He put on a Scouter and read Gohan’s power level. “No!” he screamed. “270,000,000! And it’s still growing!” Gohan continued to transform as his power level increased by the second. Finally, he achieved Super Saiyan 2 once again. Brolly’s Scouter now indicated that Gohan’s power level was 325,000,000. Gohan stood before the evil Saiyan, then charged and punched the heck out of him. Brolly landed in the lake. He blasted back out and hovered in the air. He began to get furious!
“I’ll wipe that smirk off your face!” he roared. “I’ll show you what I’m REALLY made of.”
He began to power up and use all of his energy. Little he did he know, he was making a foolish mistake. The same mistake that Future Trunks made, in fact. His muscles bulged grotesquely and his pupils disappeared. His eyeballs were completely white. Lightning crashed and thunder rolled, almost as if they were expressing his power. He no longer looked like a normal Saiyan. He looked like a monster!
He grinned at Gohan. “I have ascended as well,” he declared. “Just call me Super Brolly.” He charged at Gohan and sent two punches at him. Gohan dodged them effortlessly. “You’re a fool,” said Gohan. “You bulked up your body too much. Now you have about as much speed as a snail.”
Brolly became so furious by this remark that he started to power up intensely again. His Scouter fell into the water in the process. Gohan dove down, went underwater, and grabbed the Scouter. He put it on and read Brolly’s power level. “120,000,000,” said Gohan solemnly, remaining as calm as ever. Finally, Brolly charged at Gohan. Gohan dodged his fist and punched his opponent in the stomach as a counterattack.
Gohan grinned at Brolly. Then, suddenly, he took off. He started flying over the water as fast as he could. Brolly growled in rage and followed him. As he was flying, he wasn’t looking back. Brolly gathered as much energy as he could. He fired a big ki blast through his hands. Gohan looked over his shoulder and there it was. A speeding, purple orb only about ten feet away. And judging from its speed, he didn’t have time to dodge it.
