Bojack's eyelids twitched, and panic began to surge through him. The calm and composure on his face could no longer be maintained. The power Son Gohan was now radiating had already far surpassed his own.
To stand in Gohan's path now would be nothing short of suicide.
But what Bojack didn't realize was that it was already too late.
Just as Bojack was about to move aside to clear a path for Son Gohan, a blade-like pain suddenly tore through his nerves. A look of utter shock appeared on Bojack's face. His body hunched over violently, like a shrimp whose vein had just been ripped out.
Sweat poured from his forehead as he trembled and looked down at his abdon.
A seemingly harmless fist was buried deep inside his body, and the indentation in his gut continued to deepen.
BOOM!
Bojack's body was sent flying dozens of ters away.
Cell shot him a look of disdain and sneered, "Hmph. And here I thought you were sothing special. Turns out you're just like your useless underlings, nothing but dead weight."
But just as Cell finished speaking, a sudden commotion ca from nearby.
Son Gohan's figure had already appeared behind Vegeta. With a swift motion of his arm, Gohan chopped off the arm of one shocked Mini Cell that was holding onto Vegeta.
Purple blood splattered onto Vegeta's head as Gohan kicked the Mini Cell holding his skull straight into the sky. The other Mini Cells, upon seeing Gohan, reacted like they were facing the King of Hell himself.
For a mont, pure fear gripped them.
The remaining four Mini Cells scrambled to flee, but Son Gohan was never going to give them that chance.
SWOOSH--!
Gohan's body moved like lightning. In just one second, he sent one Mini Cell flying over a hundred ters.
More of his afterimages flickered into existence.
In a blink, several of the Mini Cells had their chests pierced clean through, the entire sequence flowing like water.
After all that, Son Gohan didn't imdiately attack Cell.
Instead, he flashed to Vegeta's side, crouched down, and gently wiped the blood from Vegeta's face. Suddenly, he noticed Vegeta's eyelid twitch, a sign that broke through Gohan's fury and helped him cling to his last shred of reason.
Vegeta was still alive.
But he was hanging on by a thread.
What was it that allowed Vegeta to hold on?
It was the brilliant golden light erupting from Gohan's Super Saiyan 2 form. The glow from Gohan's transformation washed over Vegeta's battered body.
And Vegeta smiled. A relieved, contented smile. A part of him was bitter, why hadn't he been the first to transform into Super Saiyan 2? But in the end, soone had done it. That was enough.
Everything that ca next… he would leave it to Gohan.
He wanted, just once, to see what Super Saiyan 2 really looked like. But now, he no longer had the strength to open his eyes again.
Using the last of his energy, Vegeta gripped Gohan's hand. His aura was barely detectable, and his voice ca out in broken, gasping fragnts: "Go… han… Trunks… I'll… leave… them…"
But just as Vegeta was trying to say his final farewell, he suddenly felt sothing slip into his mouth.
His tongue brushed against it and a faint sweetness surged through his senses.
There was no mistaking it, it is a Senzu Bean!
Using what little strength he had left, Vegeta chewed it. In an instant, he felt the dying cells within his body surge back to life.
His eyes flew open.
Before him stood Son Gohan in his Super Saiyan 2 form, the pouch that had held the Senzu Beans now completely empty, its remains caught and spinning in Gohan's swirling aura.
Vegeta could feel Gohan's imnse power, and he couldn't tear his eyes away. Gohan turned his back to him, not even looking over his shoulder, and said coldly:
"Vegeta Ojisan… leave the rest to ."
Vegeta opened his mouth to say sothing, but found… there was nothing more to say. He could only watch Gohan's back, small in stature, yet radiating unshakable strength.
Until at last, Son Gohan stood before Cell.
…
Watching Son Gohan steadily approach, Cell showed not even a hint of panic on his face.
"Don't get cocky, brat. You've only beaten a few small fries. You don't actually think you can beat , do you?"
Son Gohan remained expressionless, his eyes cold.
"I absolutely will."
Hearing this, Cell's pupils contracted slightly. Gohan's words were overflowing with confidence, and for a brief mont, Cell felt a flicker of unease. But how could Cell possibly allow himself to be intimidated?
He shouted sharply: "Then let show you my power! AHHHH!!!"
Cell powered up, and in an instant, dust and debris swirled as his aura surged higher once again. Elsewhere, Bojack, who had been blasted away earlier, crawled out from the rubble and hid in the shadows, quietly observing the clash.
Watching Cell's aura rise, Bojack shook his head in disappointnt.
"If that's all he's got, there's no way he can beat that Earth kid." Bojack squinted at the battlefield. Just looking at Gohan's silhouette from behind was enough to make him uneasy.
After hesitating for a mont, Bojack made a disgraceful decision. His gaze drifted to the spaceship parked in the distance. Taking advantage of the fight between Son Gohan and Cell, Bojack decided to escape Earth while he still had a chance.
To avoid attracting attention, Bojack chose to sneak over on foot.
Everything was going according to plan. He was just about to succeed… when an unexpected explosion occurred.
BOOM--!
A beam of energy rained down from the sky, and his spaceship exploded on the spot!
A deep, magnetic voice rang out behind him:
"Trying to run?" The voice belonged to Vegeta, who stood with one arm crossed over his chest and an energy orb pulsing in the palm of the other.
With the ship destroyed, Bojack's chance to escape vanished.
He suppressed his rage. Ever since his seal had been broken, he had never been this humiliated.
To be caught fleeing? If word got out, his na, Bojack, would be a laughingstock.
"Are you afraid?" Vegeta said with disdain.
Bojack flinched. Clearly, his inner fear had been seen through. Trying to stay composed, he replied: "Afraid? Don't be ridiculous. Are you seriously that sure this kid can defeat Cell?"
Vegeta answered without hesitation:
"Yes. He can. Because he's Kakarot's son. And this form of his is called Super Saiyan 2. Soone once told , if it's Super Saiyan 2, then it can defeat both you and Cell. You're smarter than Cell. You've already sensed your end is near, which is why you tried to flee. Unfortunately for you, I will never let you get away. You and that Cell will both be killed by Gohan."
With that, Vegeta imdiately transford into Full-Powered Super Saiyan.
His powerful aura caught soone else's attention.
SWISH--!
A golden figure suddenly appeared right in front of Bojack.
Bojack was completely caught off guard, his heart jumped into his throat. He locked eyes with Son Gohan for just an instant.
BOOM--!
Gohan's fist pierced through Bojack's abdon in a single instant. Not only Bojack, but even Vegeta, hadn't been able to react in ti.
BANG--!
Another punch landed, and Bojack's massive body collapsed to the ground, eyes wide in disbelief. He knew Gohan was strong now… but he never imagined this level of power.
Vegeta stood stunned, mouth open. Just monts ago, Bojack had been exchanging words with him, and now, Gohan had felled him in two punches.
Super Saiyan 2's power completely exceeded his imagination and yet, the one who had achieved it wasn't him.
Vegeta clenched his jaw, fists tightening.
He swore, he would reach Super Saiyan 2 too!
