As the sun began to cast long shadows across the training grounds, Bra stood at the center, her gaze fixed on Gohan. A sense of excitement and determination surged within her, knowing that a proper battle with Gohan would push her limits and sharpen her skills. Despite Gohan's seemingly unassuming stature, Bra was acutely aware of the immense power that resided within him. She had witnessed him in action before, seen the way his strength and speed defied his appearance. It was a reminder that true power wasn't always reflected in physical size. As they faced each other on the training grounds, she couldn't help but marvel at the depth of strength hidden beneath his unassuming demeanor. This fight was not just a test of her own abilities, but a chance to fully comprehend the strength that Gohan wielded, and perhaps even uncover a few of his techniques that he hadn't shown in their previous adventures. Bra flexed her fingers, feeling the tingle of anticipation coursing through her veins. Adjusting her stance, she focused her energy, allowing it to flow through her body like a current of electricity. "Let's see what you've got, Gohan," she said with a confident smile, nodding at him to acknowledge the challenge he had proposed. His request for a friendly but fierce bout intrigued her, wondering if he had something specific in mind or if he simply wanted to gauge each other's skills. Either way she was confident of coming out on top. With a swift movement, she reached up and began unclasping the straps of her weighted clothing. The metallic jingling filled the air as piece by piece, her attire fell to the ground around her feet. Soon, she stood there in only her fighting gear—a karate gui and white boots similar to those worn by her father. Her training attire clung to her figure flawlessly as she lightly bounced on the balls of her feet, a visage of profound concentration etched across her features as she focused herself. With every bounce, her vibrant hair swayed with the motion of the air. Offering her opponent a fleeting, disarming smile, she landed on one foot and seamlessly propelled herself forward, bridging the small gap between them in the blink of an eye. Her first strike was a lightning-fast jab aimed at his midsection, followed by a swift elbow aimed at his head. The strikes were meant to test his reflexes and gauge his defenses. Without skipping a beat, she smoothly transitioned into a leg sweep, her foot sweeping low to knock Gohan's legs out from under him, aiming to catch him off guard and create an opening for her next move.

The sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden hue across the training grounds which was situated on an island near Kame's House. Gohan stood at one end of the open arena, his stomach fluttered with anticipation. From the moment he met Bra he knew that she was strong, very strong. Her power and potential were off the charts and awe inspiring to him, and he himself had been training hard to reach her level -- and to surpass it. His long dark locks were buffeted by the serene island breeze, the scent of salt water tickled his nose as the boy's tail swayed to and fro. Bra's aura coursed through her like an open current as she assumed her fighting stance. Gohan studied her posture and found no discernable weaknesses that he could exploit. His nerves spiked and he exhaled to steel them. His eyes flashed opened and his gaze was afresh with resolve and determination. The boy bowed to Bra respectfully after she spoke. "Thank you for the opportunity. I look forward to fighting you," He said in a courteous manner. He then began to slide off his wrist weights that were courtesy of Master Roshi. The blue wristbands fell harshly onto the ground and it in turn left a dent on the arena floor. Gohan flexed his wrists before falling into a fighting stance of his own. His orange gui fluttered as another breeze sailed by, this one even calmer than the last. Like a starting signal Bra rushed him after the wind died, moving deftly on the balls of her feet. A white hot knuckle came quick like lightning, yet Gohan managed to block the attack with his forearm just in the nick of time. His arm stung but his focus never wavered as he measured Bra for her next attack, which was a swift elbow strike aimed at his head. Gohan used his small stature to his advantage to duck below the attack and he felt the wind of her strike sail past him, but she managed to catch him off guard with a sweep that clipped his ankle and made him lose his footing. He fell onto the ground but he braced himself with his wrist and swung his leg forward to kick Bra on her ankle in an attempt to get her to fall down onto his level. With a heave Gohan pushed off of his hand and hopped back onto his feet and attempted a series of jabs to Bra's face and torso -- the strikes were quick and precise as Gohan opted to be the one to set the pace of their bout.

Bra's eyes glinted with a mixture of satisfaction and eagerness as Gohan skillfully evaded her attacks. His swift blocking and evasive moves impressed her, reinforcing her belief that this spar was going to be an intense battle. She felt the rush of exhilaration as she observed his agile maneuvers, each action a testament to his formidable skills. Bra's keen instincts allowed her to anticipate Gohan's incoming kick. As he swung his leg towards her, she quickly braced herself, planting her foot firmly on the ground to absorb the impact. The force of the kick reverberated through her leg, but she stood her ground, her muscles tensing as she absorbed the blow. Her eyes locked onto Gohan's, a mixture of determination and a touch of admiration evident in her gaze. Gohan's rapid rebound to his feet caught Bra off guard, her astonishment momentarily halting her next move. In the blink of an eye, the dynamic of their sparring session shifted drastically. Instead of pressing her advantage, she suddenly found herself on the receiving end of Gohan's swift counterattack. Before she could react, one of his jabs connected with her face, a forceful impact that sent a shockwave through her head. The blow was jarring, the intensity of it resonating down her spine. The unexpected punch forced her head to snap to the side, her vision momentarily blurred. Despite the pain that radiated from the point of impact, Bra's resolve remained unshaken.
Bra scowled slightly, the sting of the punch fueling her determination as she swung one fist round towards the younger Saiyan. Just before her fist reached him she channeled her energy into it, creating a searing burst of power that enveloped it as she aimed to strike him. Following through on the momentum of her Blast Punch, Bra seamlessly transitioned into the next phase of her assault. With an explosive burst of speed, she executed a skillful spinning kick. Her leg arced through the air like a whirling blade, aimed at Gohan's centre mass. It was a calculated move, harnessing her flexibility and strength in an attempt to create some distance between the two of them. Hoping Gohan would still be distracted with her previous attacks, Bra seized the opportunity. Her palms radiated with energy as she swept her arms wide, conjuring an arcing wave of concentrated energy. The Energy Wave streaked straight towards Gohan, leaving a trail of luminous residue in its wake. Its speed was breathtaking, a testament to Bra's efforts in mastering the ability. As her energy wave shot towards Gohan, Bra let out a deep breath and worked her jaw subtly, shaking off the residual impact and attempting to clear her head from the lingering disorientation caused by Gohan's earlier strike.

After Gohan's swift jab connected to Bra's jaw, snapping her head to the side, her poise remained unshaken when she initiated her counterattack. Her fist surged with power and her energy jolted outward like static electricity as her strike cut through the air like a hot knife. Gohan did all he could to keep his guard up by crossing his arms to meet her force with his forearms. Upon impact her fist caused him to stagger ever so slightly, his stance nearly broke under the weight of her attack and the Ki she channeled through her fist rippled through his arms but dissipated at his elbows. Immediately Bra saw an opening and took advantage of it. Since Gohan had his arms raised up to block her surging fist, his midsection had been left wide open. She moved like an accomplished gymnast and twirled her body while maintaining her balance, raising her leg up to deliver a hard kick to the boy's midsection. His gut shot with pain as the blow caused his feet to skid across the arena grounds, kicking up dirt and debris in the process. Gohan managed to halt his momentum by leaning his weight forward and stomping his leg on the ground, leaving a boot-sized impression upon the earth. Through the trickle of dust was a luminous glow whose glint caught Gohan's eye. A wave of energy parted the dirt, the speed of the Ki wave was apparent as Bra displayed her prowess and practiced precision of her Ki. But Gohan too, had been practicing as well. His aura ignited around him like a furnace of flame that was translucent in nature. Gohan then pressed both arms forward and his aura surged to his palms. With a howl he unleashed his aura into a blast of energy to meet Bra's energy wave in kind. She wasn't the only one that was adept at utilizing her Ki energy. Gohan had a knack for it actually, his sixth sense buzzed and his instincts followed and he knew the right amount of output he needed to disrupt and neutralize Bra's attack. When they both met they erupted and generated a tempest of dust that blanketed the arena. Once more Gohan's aura burst to life, causing his long jet black hair to stand on end. In the next instant he seemingly disappeared entirely, his body moved at great speeds that the naked eye would have a hard time tracking his movements. Only the faintest hum of a wisp of wind and the the subtlest shifting of dust would alert Bra of Gohan's intent, but they then it may have be too late. The boy attempted to lash out his fist at her jaw with a surge of force, his body encased with his Ki as he did so to maximize his attack. Gohan wouldn't stop there however, as he then levitated in the air and crossed his arms in front of his face and dived towards Bra's midsection to attempt to ram his full weight into her and send her reeling.

As Gohan charged toward her with a powerful punch, Bra seemed to vanish in a manner similar to what Gohan had done moments earlier. She reappeared close to her original position, hopping on one foot as she tried to slow her momentum following her attempted dodge. "Woah!" she exclaimed to herself, irritated at misjudging the maneuver. Before she could fully regain her footing, Gohan's hammerhead charge came barreling towards her midsection. With little time to prepare herself, Bra braced for the impact, feeling the force of Gohan's charge strike her in the stomach. The impact jolted her, once again forcing the air from her lungs as it caused her to skid backward, her feet struggling to find purchase on the ground. In an attempt to turn her error into an opening after Gohan's charge, Bra decided to turn his momentum against him. As he came into contact with her, she shifted her weight and fell backwards, bringing her knees up towards her waist. With a powerful thrust of her legs, she attempted to launch Gohan into the air, sending him soaring above her. Recognizing his intent to engage in close combat, Bra was resolute in thwarting his strategy and maintaining control of the engagement. As she anticipated Gohan soaring into the air, Bra wasted no time. She extended her arm and fired a rapid volley of six Ki blasts, each one streaking toward Gohan with pinpoint accuracy. The energy projectiles illuminated the sky around him, creating a dazzling display of power. The blasts were aimed to keep him on the defensive and limit his options in midair. With Gohan still airborne, Bra saw her chance to deliver another blow. Concentrating her energy, she coalesced it into a single concentrated point between her hands. As her previous attack reached her younger opponent, she unleashed a focused energy beam, its intensity and speed offering no possibility for evasion. The beam streaked relentlessly towards Gohan, a compact torrent of energy aimed to make direct contact before he could evade.
Bra swiftly regained her footing as her energy blast streaked towards its target, her movements fluid and controlled. Her breaths were steady despite the intensity of their exchange. With a determined glint in her eyes, she prepared for the next phase of their bout. She knew that Gohan wouldn't stay down for long from what she had thrown at him, and her experience told her that he still had a few tricks up his sleeve.
"Nice moves, Gohan," she remarked, her voice laced with a mix of camaraderie and competitive spirit. "Consider that a good warmup."

Gohan had planned to drive Bra back by barreling into her body with the full weight of his, but she managed to outmaneuver him by using his own momentum against himself. With expert balance and precise timing, she snapped her leg up towards him when she leaned backwards, rattling him with a deft kick that launched him into the air. The boy grunted and managed to shake off the pain just in time to be met with a half dozen bolts of energy blasts that streaked through the sky towards his position like guided missiles strikes. Gohan met the blasts with his own - he aimed his palm downwards towards the bolts of Ki and channeled his energy to his hand, a flash followed and an array of azure blasts met Bra's energy salvo head on. An emission of power occurred that spawned a starburst of energy that lit up the sky like fireworks. However, Bra unleashed a singular beam that knifed through the haze and clipped Gohan in his shoulder. The boy grimaced at the pain and gritted his teeth, his body dared to betray him when his focus wavered. Gohan composed himself and controlled his descent by cutting through the vibrant fog, tucking his body into a ball and rapidly spinning on his way down to the ground. He accurately measured his vault and gracefully touched down onto the arena floor by landing on the balls of his feet, displaying his superb body control. Bra made a complimentary remark which caused the boy to give her a bashful smile. "Thanks. You have nice moves too Bra," He returned her compliment with equal zeal. "But, from now on, it's all or nothing! Get ready!" Gohan declared, his words were coated with passion and determination born from his dream to be the greatest martial artists. That was a dream that he shared with his good friend and Bra's own aunt Tights, and this battle was a stepping stone to fulfilling that goal. It was do or die time. Gohan's orange gi illuminated in a bright white light - the radiance coursed through the rest of his body as he tapped into the wellspring of his Ki. When he roared the arena floor quaked beneath his boots, dirt swirled around his figure in a tempest, kicking up pebbles and deposits of bedrock that were embedded in the ground. His aura further intensified when the full might of his power bubbled to the surface, and only when he gained control of himself did his aura output do the same. The quaking ceased - the rocks fell back onto the Earth - and his pale aura shimmered with specks of gold. Without warning he launched himself at Bra with renewed vigor, flying towards her with his right fist was reared back. However, his gesture had merely been a feint and he quickly darted to her left and attempted to slam his palm viciously towards her diaphragm to knock the wind out of her. Gohan pressed forward to keep Bra within his reach and with an explosive leap he rose his knee towards her chin to try and knock her body backwards.

Bra: 3.5% damage Gohan: 4.62% damage Alright, first off. I would like to say that it's refreshing to see a simple, friendly battle between two newer members of our site. The premise is simple: two friends want to test their skills against each other. This battle is set on Roshi’s Island(as many players first battles are) and uses physical attack combos and straightforward strategies. It makes me feel nostalgic by reminding me of my first battle. That being said, how you two are RPing puts me in my first battle to shame. You guys did well in terms of imagery, conveying your actions with brevity while still paying attention to details such as the effect on the environment and the effect the hits have on your character. Gohan is excelling in the department of imagery with things such as him powering up making things levitate like in the show or impressions left by him planting himself on the ground. Not to say that Bra is lacking. She is up there with him, I like the descriptions of her movements and how she still felt the lingering effect of a hit she took in her second post when in most cases the characters react to the pain and the injury inflicted on impact then simply moving on to the other things relevant in the RP. All and all. I like what I’m seeing here and look forward to seeing how this fight goes and what else your characters get into. Note: Bra's power level is higher than Gohans and with that one advantage Gohan's blast cancel should have technically failed, however I'll let it be a success since I like that he attempted it as a new player and I'm not trying to fail things on someone's first battle. RP AwardBra secures it by a narrow margin. It was a difficult choice to make and took some rereading. I consider doing it by a coin toss, however, that wouldn’t have been in the spirit of how the RP award is meant to be given. What compelled me to give it to Bra was that I was getting more of a sense of what her thought process was when it came to the moves she made, as well as a description of her techniques making use of her agility. Fight on!

As Gohan's palm slammed viciously towards her diaphragm, Bra's instincts faltered for a split second. She tried to evade the blow, but Gohan's speed was too much for her in that moment. His palm struck her diaphragm with force, causing a sharp gasp to escape her lips. Pain flared through her as the impact knocked the wind out of her, leaving her momentarily breathless. It was a stark reminder of the intensity of their sparring, and she winced as she stumbled back, trying to regain her composure. A small, impressed smirk tugged at the corner of her lips as she retreated a step, her breath slightly ragged. Bra couldn't help but notice the difference in Gohan's attacks since he had powered up. The force behind his strikes had increased significantly, and she could feel the impact resonating through her body. It was as if a switch had been flipped, unleashing a newfound level of strength in him. The challenge excited her, though. It pushed her to tap into her own reserves of strength and skill, determined not to be outdone. Their sparring match had just taken a thrilling turn, and Bra was ready to rise to the occasion. Jolted back from her observations, Bra barely had time to bring her arms down to block Gohan's rising knee attack. It was a formidable strike, and she could feel the raw power behind it. Despite the impact, her stance remained remarkably firm, a testament to her combat prowess. Yet, Gohan's momentum was undeniable; his knee pushed her arms back with a force that sent them smacking into her own face. The collision rattled her, and for an instant, her vision blurred as the world spun. Bra's Saiyan instincts kicked in, urging her not to falter in the face of adversity. With a deep breath, she channeled her energy into an attack she had learned from her brother. Her palms faced outward, fingers splayed wide, as she extended her arms. A surge of golden energy erupted from her hands, forming a searing sphere of crackling power. As the sphere expanded, the air around it seemed to crackle with unreleased energy. If Gohan wanted all or nothing then that's what he would get.
The brief second felt like an eternity as the golden blast surged toward Gohan with breathtaking speed. The air sizzled with its presence, and it left behind a faint trail of radiant energy. Without pausing to assess the result of her previous attack, Bra swiftly conjured four vibrant energy balls, each crackling as she did so. With a swift motion, she unleashed them, sending them hurtling towards Gohan. The energy balls followed distinct trajectories, converging on his position with precision. She aimed to keep Gohan on the defensive, pushing both herself and him to the limits of their abilities in this intense battle. Without hesitation, Bra then propelled herself forward with speed, soaring through the air to close in on Gohan. She knew that this next move needed to be executed with perfect timing. With a fierce determination burning in her eyes, she shouted, "Solar Flare!"
Her fingers splayed wide as she released a brilliant burst of light, a blinding radiance that erupted in front of Gohan. The intensity of the flare was blinding, a searing brilliance that threatened to overwhelm his senses. It was a strategic attempt to blind and disorient him, creating yet another opening for a decisive blow.

Bra's composure was nothing to scoff back. Even as Gohan did his best to drive her back with his assault, she remained steady with her feet rooted on the ground like an oak tree. Gohan wanted to close the distance between them and continue to keep her on the backfoot, however, when her palms faced him a burst of golden energy was unleashed from her hands. The boy's eyes grew wide as the energy blast careened towards him, searing the ozone upon approach. The heat that emanated from it felt as if Bra had harnessed the sun itself. With a howl of defiance Gohan placed both of his hands up and caught the attack. The skin on his hands singed and burned as he was driven back, his boots skidded across the arena floor and left tracks on the dirt and grime. His teeth gritted together as he summoned more energy, desperately tapping into his reserves. The aura that encased him erupted, and with a heave Gohan managed to toss the blazing comet into the atmosphere above. Gohan's hands were blackened, a testament to the intensity of Bra's attack. She continued her assault and peppered the boy with spheres of Ki energy. Each one seared his Gi and his face was twisted in a grimace. He backpedaled due to the force of the attack, his balance faltered as if he stood on shaky ground. His plan was to keep Bra on the backfoot, yet she was the one that had him where she wanted him. He balled his charred fists despite the sting of pain the boy felt in his palm and was ready to meet Bra head on, that was, until she positioned herself in front of him, her figure radiated as the sun's rays beamed around her. When she shouted the words "Solar Flare" a blinding white light stung Gohan's eyes and he shut them closed, but the glare stung his eyes to the point where tears welled up. On instinct he covered his face with his hands and writhed in agony, but he couldn't allow himself to remain defenseless. His aura sprouted around him and he flew backwards to get some distance between them as continued to rub his eyes. "Ah! I-I can't see!"

A surge of irritation coursed through Bra as she witnessed Gohan's deft deflection of her Burning Attack and she decided it was time to unleash her full power. Her muscles tensed as she landed on the sand and her aura flared brilliantly, radiating a bluish-white intensity that matched the determination burning in her eyes. With a focused mind and unwavering resolve, she powered up to her maximum potential. The air around her crackled with electricity as her energy surged, causing her ponytail to lift in the air behind her head. The sand beneath her feet danced in chaotic harmony, forming small, intricate patterns that mirrored the turbulent energy coursing through Bra. This was the moment she had been waiting for, the opportunity to push herself to the limits and show Gohan the true extent of her strength. With her power now surging at its peak, Bra seized the opportunity she had created with the blinding Solar Flare. As the dazzling radiance still enveloped Gohan, she didn't hesitate. Her muscles tensed as she gathered energy into her cupped palms, a bright blue aura crackling around them.
"Take this, Gohan!" she exclaimed, her voice cutting through the brilliance of the Solar Flare. "Kamehameha!" With a swift, fluid motion, she thrust her arms forward, unleashing a devastating Kamehameha wave. The azure beam tore through the air with ferocious speed, heading directly for the blinded Saiyan.
With her Kamehameha unleashed, Bra had no intention of relenting. The intense blue beam surged forward, an unstoppable force aimed at Gohan. But she had more in store. As the Kamehameha raced towards its target, Bra pivoted swiftly, her focus unbroken. She began to form a series of energy blasts in rapid succession, her hands crackling with power. These balls were far more dangerous than her previous attempt, and she hoped their increased potency might catch Gohan off guard. Without a moment's pause, she released six vibrant energy blasts, each streaking towards Gohan in a pattern not dissimilar from her previous attack.
As her energy blasts streaked towards their target and illuminated the sky around him, Bra knew this was the moment to press her advantage. Her power had surged to its maximum, a blazing aura enveloping her form. With an electrifying burst of speed, she closed the distance between herself and the blinded Gohan in an instant.
Her approach was swift and fluid, like a bolt of lightning. Bra aimed to exploit the temporary blindness caused by her earlier Solar Flare, knowing that this was her chance to land a decisive blow. With a fierce cry, she executed a razor-sharp swipe kick, her leg arcing through the air with pinpoint accuracy.
The kick sliced through the air towards Gohan, aiming to catch him off guard and incapacitate him. The energy coursing through her intensified the power behind the kick, making it a formidable attack that could turn the tide of their intense battle. Bra was determined to seize this opportunity and claim victory in their fierce sparring match.
The flurry of attacks had been intense, and as the smoke and energy dissipated, Bra couldn't help but feel the weight of her exertion. Her breath came in ragged gasps, and the surge of energy that had powered her attacks now waned. She could sense the toll it had taken on her body. A bead of sweat trickled down her brow as she realized that she had pushed herself to her limits. Gohan, despite being blinded temporarily, was a formidable adversary, and Bra knew that she needed to be cautious and strategic in the moments that followed.
No crit on Solar Flare.

Gohan halted his retreat once he sensed that he was an adequate distance away from Bra, which would give him some time to recover his eyesight. He rubbed his eyes with his hands which still singed with burn marks that occurred when he deflected her blazing energy blast. His eyes burned and his vision was foggy at best, but he was finally able to see again. My vision is better now...He witnessed Bra's energy surge until it reached its apex. The turbulent winds buffeted the battle field, nearly knocking Gohan backwards. With a grimace he held his ground, raising his guard for what was to come. Bra eagerly went on the offensive and cupped her hands behind her back. She yelled the name of a technique that Gohan had yet to master, but had seen in action only once before by their shared Turtle Hermit master. Kamehameha?An opal sphere of energy formed between her palms, and from Gohan's vantage point it appeared as if she held the sky itself within her grasp. Once the beam was fired the boy's vision was blanketed in hues of chalk and cobalt, its radiance and glare rivaled the intensity of the Solar Flare technique that Bra had unleashed on him before. Still, Gohan was ready. He stomped his feet onto the ground, one after the other, until they had both been entrenched within the arena floor. He spread his arms wide and his aura sprouted around him, swirling outward like a tempest. The boy howled at the beam, causing it to splinter into rays that would harmlessly sailed past him. However, before the dust could settle Bra had already unleashed a barrage of energy bolts. Gohan had been unable to reclaim his guard and thus his body was bombarded by the blasts. The boy's teeth grinded together as the searing pain seeped into his very bones, peppering his skin in dark bruises and leaving his Kame martial arts gui in tatters. Since both his feet had been entrenched into the sand he managed to hold his position, however, he had to press down onto his heels to keep himself from wavering. A speck of light alerted Gohan of Bra's approach, her form materialized like a streak of lightning from out of his peripheral. The thunder came with a vicious kick that careened towards his head. The blow caused Gohan's head to snap back and his body staggered backwards, but only so far. His base foot slid back but his front foot remained tethered to the soil. His forehead was marred with an abyssal lesion, yet he refused to fall. In spite of the pain, in spite of the odds, in spite of Bra's power, in spite of her relentless foray, he would not yield. Gohan's eyes burned with determination and competitive fire, he took a single step forward towards Bra, his front foot unearthed from the ground as he did so. "I'm not going down that easy, Bra!" The boy shouted in utter defiance. Not just to her as his opponent, but to the pain that coursed through his body. He brought both of his hands up in front of his face, his fingers were spread out and his palms faced himself. "And now it's my turn! Solar Flare!" A kaleidoscopic array of light would assault Bra's eyesight much like she had done to him earlier in the battle. A sea of radiant light blanketed the arena, casting a dome of brightness that encased the training grounds. Swiftly Gohan took advantage of the technique by unleashing a massive barrage of Ki blasts from the palms of his hands in rapid fire succession, he closed the gap as he did so, stepping forward every time he unleashed a blazing blast to keep Bra within arms reach of him. One step - Blast. Another step - another blast. On and on a dozen times over, and his aura would explode around him when he reached striking distance, aiming to land a savage knuckle strike towards her abdomen.

As Bra's eyes strained to adjust to the sudden, blinding radiance of Gohan's Solar Flare, frustration pulsed through her. "Oh, come on!" she exclaimed, her voice laced with irritation. It was a tactical move on Gohan's part, one that momentarily left her blinded and disoriented, and Bra couldn't help but express her exasperation at the clever maneuver. After all, she had just executed a similar tactic moments ago.
Still reeling from the blinding effects of Gohan's Solar Flare, Bra knew she had little time to react to his expected barrage of energy blasts. Though her vision remained compromised, her heightened senses picked up on the surging energy signatures of the incoming projectiles. Acting on instinct, she let out a high-pitched shriek, similar to Gohan's counter to her Kamehameha moments earlier. The soundwaves she produced disrupted the trajectory of the incoming energy blasts, causing them to veer off course. It was a desperate but effective move, a testament to her resourcefulness in the heat of battle. The blasts harmlessly detonated in the distance, their threat neutralized by Bra's quick thinking.
Despite surviving the barrage of energy blasts, Bra knew she couldn't remain on the defensive for long. She could sense Gohan's presence closing in on her, his movements quick and precise. Still partially blinded from the Solar Flare, she had to rely on her other senses and sheer instinct. However, her temporary blindness proved to be a significant disadvantage in the heat of battle. Gohan's next attack came swift and unexpected, and her attempt to block it fell short. His fist connected with her side, a sharp and powerful blow that sent her reeling. She took deep, steadying breaths, trying to regain her composure as she blinked away the spots of light that danced in her vision. The residual energy coursing through her veins, the remnants of her earlier power-up, continued to fuel her for the moment as she braced for Gohan's next attack.

"I'm not done yet!" Gohan roared. He continued to pressure Bra and keep her on the defensive. He opted to get inside of her guard and invade her air space to put a damper on the amount of room she had to operate - Bra had already displayed her proficiency in maneuverability, so Gohan did his best to take away one of her strengths. His aura erupted around him and he shot towards her like a torpedo, he snapped his right leg up to attempt a thunderous kick to her chin. The impact was fueled by the wellspring of energy within him, bubbling his Ki to the surface. He reared his left fist back, his knuckle blazing hot with energy. Gohan took another step forward and attempted to ram his fist into her abdomen. The goal was to get her to double over in pain as well as to disorient her. The will to win, the desire to be the strongest, those thoughts spurred his savagery. His modest, somewhat demure disposition had corroded into ashes. What was left was an ever burning fire, a furnace of flame that was forged by his Saiyan ancestry. The boy's adrenaline had spike and his blood boiled, the thralls of combat casted a spell of passion on him. He couldn't lose. He had to win. Gohan catapulted himself towards Bra's sternum headfirst, his Ki acted as thrusters, increasing his speed and velocity to attempt to crash into her sternum and send her sprawling backwards. Through sweat and ragged breaths he pressed forward to keep his advantage, raising both of his arms up so that his palms were facing her. He shouted a battle cry and unleashed a flurry of energy blasts towards Bra, one after the other in rapid succession. The azure blasts of Ki encircled her like vultures and rose up into the air before finally raining down on her in a storm of power. The blasts erupted once they touched down onto the arena floor, knocking up dirt and debris and bedrock, causing the grime to cascade all around the two combatants.

Gohan seized the opportunity of Bra being blinded well. With lightning speed, he delivered a powerful kick to Bra's chin, the impact causing her to stagger back momentarily, a gasp escaping her lips as her head snapped backwards away from the blow. But Bra was forced to recover quickly. Her Saiyan reflexes kicked in, and she anticipated Gohan's follow-up strike. Just as his fist aimed for another blow to her abdomen, she swiftly dodged to the side in an attempt to narrowly avoid the second attack. Their movements were a blur of martial arts prowess and determination as they continued their fast paced battle.
As the exchange of blows continued, Gohan displayed his versatile fighting style. Seizing the momentum from his missed punch, he transitioned seamlessly into a surprise maneuver. With a sudden burst of speed, he had launched himself into the air, performing a flying headbutt aimed squarely at Bra. Caught off guard by his slightly wreckless attack, Bra couldn't evade in time. Gohan's headbutt landed with a thud against her, knocking her back again and leaving her momentarily disoriented.
Refusing to be overwhelmed, Bra was forced to quickly regain her composure after Gohan's flying headbutt. She knew that she had to pull out all the stops. As Gohan began launching a barrage of energy blasts towards her, Bra's determination blazed in her eyes. With swift and precise hand movements, she responded in kind, generating her own concentrated energy blasts.
The energy attacks collided mid-air, creating brilliant explosions of light and sound that echoed throughout the island. The intensity of their power struggles sent shockwaves through the surrounding area. Bra's determination and control over her ki allowed her to hold her ground, countering Gohan's onslaught with equal force. The two warriors engaged in this spectacular exchange, their energy blasts clashing and illuminating the training grounds as they pushed their limits in pursuit of greater strength.
Without pausing to admire the ensuing light show, with a burst of fiery energy, Bra unleashed another searing Burning Attack at Gohan, the intense energy forming into a swirling sphere of destruction. It streaked through the air, hurtling directly toward Gohan, leaving a trail of incandescent light in its wake similar to that of her previous attempt.
As the explosion from her Burning Attack cleared, Bra seized the moment to close the distance between them. She moved with incredible speed, her form a blur as she closed in on Gohan, her muscles coiled and ready to strike. The young Saiyan had always excelled in close combat, and now, she aimed to prove her prowess once more. This might also give her the opportunity to catch her breath as well, considering she had already exhausted a significant portion of her energy reserves in their opening exchanges.

Gohan had done all he could to keep Bra on the ropes, yet his relentlessness did little to deter her, in fact, it was written all over her face - since she was a Saiyan like him her blood also boiled. Determination ruled over her, and she refused to yield. She matched Gohan's energy blast salvo with one of her own, and once they collided an iridescent smog blanketed the training grounds. The boy jumped backwards, catching on to Bra's pace as well as her mindset. She liked to try and catch him when he least expected it, and the cover of fog would have been the perfect play. As he predicted, a blazing inferno sphere cut through the smoke, the heat that radiated from her blast burned ozone. This attack, she had launched at him before. Gohan was prepared for it, so he gritted his teeth and braced himself. He crossed his arms in front of his body and ignited his aura around him, when the blast collided against him the heat seared his flesh and bruised his forearms. The boy wasn't prepared for the shear magnitude of the attack and a yelp escaped him, but through shear willpower and defiance he didn't allow the blast to overpower his stance nor overtake his balance. He slammed one foot onto the earth, and then the other, and when the blast erupted in a furious tempest of heat his orange Kame House gi was left in tatters. Gohan felt his body grow heavier, blisters licked painfully on his arms, and the bruises that adorned his skin were specks of purple and black. Even still, the boy couldn't allow the pain to cause him to waver. When Bra charged him to close the distance, he had to expand his senses to trace her since her speed exceeded what his eyes could track. He painfully slid into his ready stance in preparation for a close quarters bout. Gohan slid his front leg forward as he dipped low, angling himself to try to catch Bra with an uppercut to her chin. Gohan leaned in and reared his other fist back and attempted a straight punch towards Bra's sternum. With a roar he hopped up into the air so that he was eye level with the Saiyan and reared a ki charged knuckle back and careened it towards her cheek to attempt to send her reeling. He switched fists and did it once more, aiming for Bra's other cheek with azure energy coiled around his knuckle. Another punch rammed towards her chest while he remained ascended at eye level with her, and as he descended onto the ground from his hop, he jumped up once more and attempted a rising knee to her chin.
