Bra raised her arm just in time to block Gohan's uppercut aimed at her chin. Their strengths clashed as she gritted her teeth, feeling the force behind his strike. Seizing the opportunity, she countered swiftly, using her left leg to aim a powerful kick at Gohan's midsection, hoping to disrupt his next strike.
Bra's instincts kicked in as she anticipated Gohan's next powerful strike. She used her speed to instantly shift a short distance away, narrowly dodging his first punch aimed at her. Her lithe form flickered briefly before reappearing a few feet to the side, avoiding the blow. Bra couldn't help but notice a subtle change in Gohan's approach. His attacks, once precise and controlled, were now becoming increasingly rash and erratic. It was as if his initial confidence had given way to a surge of raw power that he struggled to contain. She observed how his strikes, while still potent, lacked the precision they had earlier. His movements were more aggressive but less focused, causing some of his blows to miss their mark entirely. Bra seized this opening, her keen Saiyan instincts detecting the vulnerabilities in his onslaught.
Bra's reflexes were razor-sharp as she raised her forearm in a swift and precise block, intercepting Gohan's incoming ki-charged punch aimed at her face. The force of Gohan's punch crashed against her arm, sending shockwaves rippling through her body as it sent sparks of energy scattering through the air. Agonizing tremors rippled from the point of impact, radiating outward and making every nerve ending scream in protest. Her forearm throbbed with an intensity that was almost unbearable, and a grimace briefly marred her usually composed expression.
Bra's teeth clenched together, and beads of sweat formed on her forehead as she fought to maintain her stance. The pain was a constant reminder of the immense force behind Gohan's strike. Yet, she refused to give in.
With another burst of speed, Gohan aimed a powerful punch directly at her stomach. The force behind the blow was staggering, and Bra, caught off guard by its sudden ferocity, struggled to muster a defense in time. She managed to partially block the attack, but the impact still sent more shockwaves of pain through her abdomen.
Without a moment's pause, Bra was forced to counter Gohan's next attack, a rising knee aimed at her face. His assault came with such velocity that Bra instinctively raised her forearm to protect her chin. The collision between Gohan's knee and her forearm sent her arm flying back and to the side, but she used the momentum to her advantage, springing into another counterattack as she spun with the force.
Her first move was a lightning-quick jab aimed at Gohan's solar plexus, forcing him to flinch and momentarily lose balance. This was followed by a perfectly timed elbow that swept across, aiming to connect with the side of his head.
Continuing her relentless assault, Bra seamlessly transitioned from her previous attacks into another two-strike combo. With a fluid motion, she executed a spinning backfist, aiming to connect with the side of Gohan's head as he attempted to regain his balance from her previous strikes. The sheer speed and precision of her movements would, she hoped, leave little room for him to react.
Bra wasted no time and swiftly followed up with a potent straight punch directed at Gohan's midsection. Her aim was clear - to disrupt his breath and progressively erode his defenses. While Gohan's composure had waned, resulting in powerful yet less precise strikes, Bra opted for a different strategy. She relied on speed and precision, delivering a flurry of strikes with the intent of overwhelming him through sheer volume rather than raw power.

Bra was a step ahead of him every time. She disrupted his strike with a hard kick to his midsection, her leg snapped at him like a viper, stinging him with a vicious strike that took his breath away. Still, he attempted to press on, but the pain further slowed him down. It was if she had gotten faster as the battle went on, predicting his movements with ease and precision. How was she doing this? Gohan thought, his concentration was broken by a furious counter attack after he attempted to tag Bra with his rising knee strike. She had smoothly blocked the attack and weaved her assault through her defense, knocking the boy back with a combination that consisted of a body blow that hitched his breathing and an elbow on his hard head. Pain radiated in tremors that caused him to yelp aloud, the impact knocked him out of his rhythm as he stumbled forward, exposing his flank to Bra who took full advantage and careened a hard knuckle strike to the side of his head. Gohan grunted and the blow had nearly sent him toppling over, his front leg had been lifted off of the ground and he did all he could to maintain his balance with his base leg. Bra's relentless assault never faltered, she moved in and peppered him with lightning quick strikes, and Gohan finally relented. His knees grew weak and gave out under the pressure of Bra's blows and finally his body gave out and he fell backwards, landing onto the hard, unforgiving training grounds. His body ached all over, his bruises and cuts stung like bee stings and fired up his nerves. With a pained expression he slowly began to make his way back onto his feet, his eyes burned with fire and brimstone and his translucent aura spiked around him in a fury. "I can't lose!" Gohan's ravenous locks stood on end, his muscles tensed up, causing veins and striations to ripple down the length of his bicep. He harnessed his Ki energy to create an aura shroud around himself, which he initially struggled with doing due to fatigue. But he wasn't going to allow himself to give in. The training grounds was assailed by a tempest of wind from the water front. High tides of salt water crashed onto the shore, and Gohan's Ki erupted outward, but the shroud remained ever present. "I have to be the strongest..!" Or... ...or I'll never be able worthy enough to meet them. Gohan clasped his hands together with his palms facing Bra. His aura flickered and his hands gleamed with a pale white light. A clear blast of energy was launched from his palms and it careened towards Bra's direction, but Gohan purposefully angled the trajectory of the blast towards her lower body, so once the blast erupted when it reached the earth a shroud of dirt and debris would suspend around her. Bra was skilled in close quarters combat, so he opted to use a little misdirection whenever possible to keep her out of rhythm. He tracked her Ki signature through the low visibility fog, her body radiated energy outward like a beacon for his sixth sense to follow. Gohan hopped high into the air until the sun was at his back, his tiny body cast a looming shadow beneath him. Gohan took in a deep breath until his chest expanded, and when he lurched forward he spewed a torrent of flames from his nostrils. It descended upon Bra like a flamethrower, cooking the soil and leaving a trail of soot and black ash in its wake.

As Gohan's energy blast collided with her lower body, Bra grunted in pain. The impact knocked her slightly off balance, and the swirling debris obscured her vision briefly. She was still shaking off the dust and dirt that clung to her fighting attire when the searing heat of Gohan's fire breath washed over her, causing Bra to gasp in surprise once again. Her eyes widened as the flames engulfed her already damaged gi, and she instinctively tried to pat out the fiery embers that clung to her clothes. The acrid smell of burnt fabric filled the air, and she winced at the sensation of her skin tingling from the residual heat. The flames danced around her for a moment before she managed to extinguish them, her gi now singed and smoldering. She briefly considered conjuring a Ki sword, a formidable weapon she had trained with extensively. Its shimmering blade could cut through almost anything, and it would give her a distinct advantage in the fight. However, her sense of sportsmanship and camaraderie prevailed. This was meant to be a friendly bout, a test of skill and strength between allies. Using such a lethal weapon would go against the spirit of the contest. Instead, she lunged forward with incredible speed, her boots aiming to connect with Gohan's abdomen in two swift and powerful kicks before she chose a strategic retreat. With a graceful backflip, she somersaulted away from Gohan, creating some distance between them. "Boom," Bra exclaimed with a mischievous grin as she landed. Her kicks weren't just ordinary strikes; they were charged with a burst of energy. That energy detonated with a controlled explosion, releasing a concussive force that she hoped would send Gohan hurtling backward. The detonation would also leave a smokescreen in its wake, adding an element of surprise to her tactics. Bra watched the dissipating smoke and, before it could clear completely, she prepared to unleash another Burning Attack. Her hands crackled with fiery Ki as she gathered the energy, forming a swirling sphere of intense heat between her palms. With a swift and fluid motion, she thrust her hands forward, releasing the blazing energy in a ball straight toward Gohan. But she didn't stop there. In the blink of an eye, Bra vanished from her current position and reappeared off to the side. Taking advantage of her newfound position, she gathered her energy once more, this time shaping it into a more devastating Kamehameha wave. She struggled for a moment to control the surging energy, feeling its raw power crackling in her hands, but with a fierce shout, she released the colossal wave of energy, its power surging toward Gohan with incredible force. The sand, already heated from the intensity of the battle, was instantly agitated by the searing energy. Waves of sand were pushed aside as if a hurricane had swept through. As the echoes of the Kamehameha wave subsided, Bra found herself standing amidst the smoldering carnage of their battle. Her once-pristine fighting gi was now tattered and scorched, smoke rising from the singed fabric. She could feel exhaustion creeping over her like a heavy shroud. Bra's hands found their way to her knees as she bent forward slightly, her chest heaving as she gasped for breath. Beads of sweat trickled down her forehead, mixing with the dirt and soot that clung to her skin. The intensity of the battle was taking its toll, pushing her to the limits of her strength and endurance. How much longer could she go if Gohan persisted?

The flames flickered in the training grounds, and Gohan remained on guard. The light of the fire reflected luminously off of his hazel irises, his hard gaze was fixated on Bra's direction, focusing on her Ki signature in an attempt to track her movements. Although Gohan's technique had a devastating potential to burn and singe flesh, he knew that Bra was more than capable of enough to withstand the technique even if she took it head on. A subtle shift in the suspended fog alerted the boy of Bra's movement, but his eyes were unable to trace her trail. Instead, all he could do was brace himself mentally, his base leg slid back in preparation for her attack. Two boots slammed into his abdomen, Gohan lurched forward and spittle flew from his mouth. He shuffled his feet in a desperate bid to realign his stance once more, but then Bra uttered a word that caused his eyes to shoot open wide with surprise. Boom. The boot impressions left upon his tattered gi and bare chest exploded outward in a burst of concussive energy that sent Gohan toppling backwards. His brain rattled in his skull and at the speed of a wink his vision was clouded with stars. He clenched his fists and refused to blackout, tensing his muscles in defiance as he fell backwards and used his momentum to bounce off of the palm of his hands, flipping backwards and spring boarding himself back onto his feet. More smoke and smog lingered in the air, making relying on his sense of sight fruitless. The smell of soot and ash flared his nostrils, and the sounds of high waves crashing against the shore assailed his hearing. The only sense he could rely on now was his Ki sense, but he anticipated that Bra would once more use the veil of smog to her advantage. He was proven right when her power spiked once more, and on instinct the boy's aura ignited around him. If he waited for her to fire the blast and lay eyes on the technique then it would be too late, he had to move preemptively. His body moved in a blur, flickering out of sight with such speeds that he generated a sonic boom in his wake, the sudden burst of wind cleared the smoke from the training grounds and Gohan remained in the air in search of Bra once more, only to be alarmed to feel her energy spike to heights that he had never thought possible. The dim glow of cobalt between her cupped hands bloomed in radiance when she pumped more power into it. This wasn't an ordinary Kamehameha wave, Gohan could feel it, but the power that Bra harnessed was so great that rays of light projected from the glowing orb she held between her hands. When she fired the technique Gohan quickly flew backwards towards the ground, but the beam was so large that he couldn't escape it entirely. The best he could do was come up with a gambit, and his aura flared when he called his body to action. As the beam careened towards him, Gohan increased his speed to his limit to fly away from the beam's trajectory, kicking off of the ground to increase his velocity further. However, he was still endanger of being overtaken, which was where he opted to generate a blast from his palm to boost him further and narrowly avoid the beam from engulfing him. However, the aftershock of the wave's impact upon the training ground generated a massive force that sent the boy's body sailing through the sky. With a resounding thud Gohan landed head first onto the ground, leaving an imprint upon among the sand. The shore did little to cushion his fall or the pain. Yet even still, his determination to press on didn't waver, yet his body screamed for him to stop. Muscle aches, bruises, cuts and scrapes, all took their toll on his young body. His mind flashed to the effigies of his parents whose faces he could not make out in the shadows of his memory, but he knew that they were strong martial artists, and he was determined to become one himself, to be the very best, so that maybe one day he would be worthy enough to meet them again. Was that why they abandoned him? Because he was weak? Gohan balled his fists and staggered back onto his feet, shakily he pressed forward towards Bra, sweat dripped from his chin and his half lidded eyes were overtaken by exhaustion. "Not yet," Gohan's energy flickered around him, fading in and out, reflecting the state of his body. "Give me all you've got Bra!" Gohan shot up into the sky, halting when he was still within eyesight of Bra. He pressed both of his palms forward and he did all he could to keep his muscles steady despite the tremors due to fatigue. With a shout he unleashed a torrential volley of large energy sphere that careened towards her position, blotting out the sky itself. The hailstorm of energy blasts would seem endless as more shot out from his palms, erupting into grand explosions upon impact with the ground.

Okay, so based on how you guys were writing your damage and fatigue, I tossed Joseph’s previous damage assessment and put you guys into my n00b system which increases the damage of combos and lower DRs, effectively making the 2%s like 8%. As you’ll notice in the breakdown, I also have a weakening system, meaning the more damage you take, the more damage hits will cause. You can see this a little in the DR1s. This helps things speed up as writer’s fatigue settles in, and generally, you’re a bit more tenderized.  Gohan specifically asked me to look at his partial dodge. In regards to using an attack to dodge, it's a little sketchy but I personally would allow it. TBF though, you have a lot of creative freedom in how you get your speed higher, using PF is ki, your aura can push you, etc. You don't necessarily need to use an attack. To the partial dodge thogh: To Gohan’s advantage, Bra’s Kamehameha wasn’t greatly detailed. I liked the sand effect but the beam itself could have been fleshed out more. Higher DRs you want more description in them because the better they are written the harder it is to write a dodge that’s even better written. You also want to be very clear where the attack is coming from as we will get to. So with that advantage, Gohan’s introduction to the attack build up was great. Nice description, great feeling, but then it sizzled out. You just quickly flew. With Bra’s superior speed I’m not sure you could have simply out flown the blast to the ground. Using the ground and Aura Shot to push you out of the impact zone was good but you needed more creativity in the initial escape, even if it's just detailing the struggle or desperation and adrenaline used to outrun it. Fortunately for you however, Bra did not actually specify where she ST’d to. Off to the side is vague so you might have had a lot of time to move, idrk. So I gave it 70% dodge due to Bra giving you more creative freedom to her attack than she really should have. Despite this criticism and the n00b system, you guys are seriously fighting like a pair of Second Souls. The only other mistake I saw was the blast cancel with Aura Shot vs Energy Wave. While the DRs are the same, Energy Wave costs 2% ki while Aura Shot costs 1%, making Energy Wave stronger. It still mostly negated the energy wave though so hardly a wasted maneuver. I really enjoyed the roleplaying of Bra’s more potent attacks. I also really liked her Power Up! I’m a flashy guy. Both of you write your blocks great, acknowledging the impact and force of the attack which I love. Gohan also has great roleplay with his Hammerheads and physicals but I think Bra took the flow of the battle more both with her Solar Flare and grapple response. Gohan could have taken it if that dodge kept going with how it appeared to him, but I’ll give the reward to Bra this go around. I feel like fatigue is settling in a bit, so keep on your toes people! Especially since the damage is getting heavier. |

As Bra caught her breath and the sweat-soaked strands of her hair clung to her face she knew she couldn't afford to rest for long. With sheer willpower, she pushed herself back into a ready stance, her determination shining through her weariness. Gohan showed no signs of relenting and his next attack was imminent. Moments later Gohan released a rapid barrage of smaller ki blasts, each one streaking towards Bra with menacing speed. She raised her forearm, gritting her teeth as she deflected one of the blasts with a controlled motion. The impact sent a shockwave through her arm, but she managed to redirect the blast away from her, sending it harmlessly into the distance. With incredible focus, Bra continued her defensive flurry. She deflected another blast, the force of it causing her to skid back slightly in the sand. Then, in quick succession, she swatted away two more energy projectiles with precise movements. The air around her crackled with the residual energy as the blasts veered off course, creating small explosions in the distance. With quick thinking and nimble footwork, Bra continued to deflect the incoming blasts. Her arms moved like a blur as she deflected the fourth and fifth, sending them harmlessly scattering across the battlefield. The volley of energy projectiles seemed endless, but Bra's Saiyan instincts and combat experience kicked into high gear.
She danced between the incoming blasts, her movements a symphony of precision and agility. Six, seven, eight—each blast met her forearm with calculated deflections, sending them off course to explode harmlessly in the distance. Her senses were on high alert, and she weaved through the onslaught, determined to close the gap and challenge Gohan head-on.
But before she could get the chance, Gohan unleashed another wave of attacks. This time, six smaller blasts streaked towards her with even greater speed and power. Bra knew that her earlier strategy of deflection wouldn't be enough this time.
As the energy blasts neared, Bra gritted her teeth and planted her boots firmly into the sandy ground. Her arms trembled as she gathered her energy, not to deflect the blasts entirely, but to absorb their shockwaves. With a determined focus, she raised her forearms and braced for impact.
The first blast struck, and a shockwave reverberated through her body, causing the sand beneath her feet to swirl and dance. Her boots dug into the ground as she absorbed the energy, and her teeth clenched harder. The second and third blasts followed suit, each one sending powerful vibrations through her limbs.
Bra's muscles strained as she fought to maintain her stance. The fourth, fifth, and sixth blasts bombarded her, their combined force threatening to push her back. But she held her ground, channelling her inner strength to absorb the relentless shockwaves.
As the final blast dissipated, Bra let out a heavy breath, her arms trembling from the immense effort. She had weathered the storm of attacks, but she knew that Gohan was far from finished. The battle had pushed both of them to their limits, and the outcome remained uncertain. She teeth clenched, her azure eyes locked onto Gohan, her intention clear: she was coming for him.
With her aura flaring brilliantly, Bra shot towards Gohan like a meteor. She closed on him with incredible speed, her fists leading the way. In a blur of motion, she unleashed two rapid-fire strikes, her knuckles flying towards Gohan's defenses. The first strike was a lightning-fast jab, aimed at Gohan's midsection. Her knuckles, powered by the kinetic energy of her approach, struck with pinpoint precision, seeking to find a gap in his defenses.
Before Gohan could react to the initial strike, Bra's second punch followed in a seamless flurry of motion. This time, her target was his shoulder, a calculated move to disrupt his balance and thwart any attempts to counter her assault. Her knuckles sliced through the air, trailing streaks of energy that crackled with intensity.
Following up seamlessly before he could fully recover, Bra delivered a devastating kick aimed at his midsection, intending to send him hurtling back to the ground. The force behind her kick was immense, a testament to her determination to maintain the upper hand in their intense battle. As she finished the follow-up of her kick, Bra's body pulsed with exhaustion, breathing heavily. She could feel the fatigue settling in, her muscles protesting the intense exertion. She realized that she had only one more significant attack left in her. She couldn't afford to waste it. Her eyes remained locked on Gohan, searching for the perfect moment to unleash her final assault, hoping that it would be enough to secure her victory.

Bra shot out like a missile towards Gohan, her body careened towards him in a blur at speeds impossible for the naked eye to track. The boy was unable to muster up a proper defense in time, and as a result he was caught with a swift jab to his midsection. A low gasp escaped his lips as the wind was taken out of his lungs. He attempted to float backwards to gather some distance between the two of them, but she managed to close the air space even quicker. A second strike battered Gohan's shoulder, he yelped and he instinctively brought his arm up to holster it in place. Was it dislocated? No. Thank goodness not, but it sure felt like it had been. Bra's coup de grace was a deft kick to Gohan's sternum, but the boy was ready for it. Compared to her previous combination, the kick was half a beat slower, and it was all the time he needed. Gohan braced himself, tightening his abdominal muscles in order to soften the blow of Bra's strike. When her boot drove into his stomach he resisted the concussive force that threatened to fling him back towards the ground. If Bra wanted an up close and personal fight, then that's exactly what she'll get. The boy's eyes burned with a fire fanned by his resolve to not only compete, but to win. Being a great martial artist meant everything to him - it was all he had to cling on to. When he pushed through the fog of fatigue, what he was met with on the other side was a level of mental acuity and alertness that could only be described as a fighter's second wind. Suddenly, his moves came with a sense of clarity that he lacked previously. Gohan opted to move inside of Bra's guard to negate her inherent reach advantage, flying towards her quickly in hopes that his sudden rebound would give him the opening that he needed. The boy rushed in head first, rotating his body like a spinning top to increase the velocity of his strike. He aimed directly for Bra's chest to knock her backwards, but that was just the beginning. The spin as well as the placement of his previously strike was intentional - Gohan fluently reached his arms out to grab Bra by her shoulders and slam his hard head towards her nose to try and daze her. He spun again, his body twirling in midair with a level of grace that mimicked Bra's own, and he attempted to knock her back with a roundhouse kick towards her temple. The boy roared, his aura ignited, and the sudden scream of silence pervaded as Gohan vanished from sight, his body moving at a supreme speed that made it hard for the naked eye to track. Gohan appeared once more in front of Bra, his palm glowed since it housed an orange sphere of energy that he would thrust to Bra's face at point blank range. Once more Gohan's body disappeared, only to materialize to her flank, this time with the opposite hand that had an orb of Ki dwelling within his grasp. He rammed it towards her spine in an attempt to send her tumbling forward, and he'd continue his assault all the same, blitzing her from every angle that he could conceive to do so. The third shot aimed for her right shoulder blade, and once more Gohan would smoothly vanish, only to reappear to Bra's lower left side, his body in a crouch and the opposite hand glowing with energy. The fourth blast was aimed at her ankle to disrupt her balance and possibly even send her to the ground. It was at this moment Gohan would rise just a few feet above Bra with both palms facing her. He'd get as close as he possibly could to her so that she would have a hard time avoiding his onslaught - and he pumped his arms to deliver a devastating string of energy blasts towards her upper torso. Five, six, seven, eight, Gohan roared a battle cry as he continued on, stopping when the total number of blasts reached a dozen. Dust and debris billowed around them, blanketing the now unrecognizable training grounds.Sweat dripped profusely from Gohan's brow and his aura flickered wildly, its potency faltered and faded, hanging on by a thread much like his own Ki reserves had. He was nearly spent, even with his impressive Ki control, he was on the verge of bottoming himself out.

Caught off guard by the unexpected aerial assault, Bra reacted with split-second reflexes. In midair, she brought her forearm up to block Gohan's spinning headbutt, the impact sending jolts of force through her arm. However, Gohan's momentum was relentless. As she deflected his attack, he seized the chance to grab hold of her, his forehead connecting with hers in a powerful headbutt, forcing her back slightly and leaving her momentarily stunned by the bold maneuver. Blood began to trickle from Bra's nose, crimson droplets falling in slow motion through the charged atmosphere. Each drop seemed to hang in the air for a fleeting moment before disappearing into the ether. The metallic scent of blood mingled with the crackling energy, a stark reminder of the fierce battle unfolding between these two Saiyan warriors. As Bra was still recovering from the intense headbutt exchange, her senses slightly dulled by the trickle of blood from her nose, she found herself vulnerable to Gohan's swift and powerful roundhouse kick. His leg swung through the air like a lightning bolt, and before she could fully react, the impact landed squarely against the side of her head. The force of the kick sent shockwaves through her skull, and a fresh burst of pain flared up. Her vision briefly blurred, and she felt herself being propelled backward through the sky, her lithe form twisting in the air before she regained control of her movements. Gohan's attack had taken its toll, leaving her momentarily disoriented, but her Saiyan resilience refused to let her falter. With a determined shake of her head, she steadied herself, ready to reengage. Fortune would have it that Bra being knocked away from Gohan by his kick gave her a fraction of a second more to react to his next attack. As Gohan reappeared in front of her with an orange sphere of energy, Bra attempted to dodge his point-blank assault. Her reflexes kicked in, and she spun with incredible force, attempting a mid-air flip to evade the impending energy blast. She believed she was still faster than Gohan, but his speed was certainly not lacking. The sphere grazed her cheek, leaving a searing mark and causing her to wince. Gohan's subsequent attacks came relentlessly. He materialized at her flank, aiming for her spine, and Bra twisted her body desperately to the side, narrowly avoiding a direct hit. The blast glanced her side, sending her tumbling through the air, but she managed to regain her control quickly. The third blast targeted her right shoulder blade, and once more, Bra reacted swiftly, twisting her body to allow the attack to graze her, minimizing the damage. Gohan's fourth shot aimed at her ankle was intended to disrupt her balance, but Bra used her incredible agility to perform another mid-air somersault, avoiding the blast altogether. Gohan seemed slower in his next movement, rising above Bra as he prepared to pepper her with more blasts. She used all the speed she had left to shift herself backward and away from the younger Saiyan, vanishing and reappearing at a slightly further distance, giving herself more time to dodge each of his blasts, even as she evaded the first pair as part of her retreat. She heard them whizz past her and off into the distance, their sound fading quickly. She didn't have the luxury of watching them go. While evading, Bra's mind continued to work, assessing her options and calculating her next move. The idea of turning her defense into a powerful counterattack took shape, and without a second thought, she initiated the process. "Ka..." she muttered, starting to form her next attack in her hands even as she moved, narrowly avoiding his next attack as she vanished again.
As her energy gathered, a faint but distinct shimmer enveloped her hands, a visible sign of the immense power she was harnessing. The aura around her intensified, pulsating with a vibrant, azure hue that matched the color of her eyes. Every muscle in her body coiled with potential energy, poised to unleash devastation. "Me..." Bra exclaimed with urgency as she gracefully lifted one leg to avoid the next incoming energy ball. The near-miss only fueled her determination. Her focus remained unbroken as she continued to charge the Kamehameha. The air around her crackled with energy as the the technique fell into place. Her aura flared brilliantly, casting a radiant glow across her form. The atmosphere seemed to hum with anticipation, recognizing the impending release of this mighty force.
"Ha..." Bra's voice rang out with determination as she executed another precise teleport-like movement, shifting her position closer to Gohan as she slipped between the closing trajectories of two more of his blasts.
Her hands, still clasped together, began to emit a brilliant blue light, the aura of her charged Kamehameha crackling with energy. The ground not far beneath them trembled slightly, feeling the immense energy she was harnessing.
"Me..." she could see Gohan fire his final two blasts at her now. The first flew at the space her head had occupied just a moment before, singing the end of her ponytail off as it flew past her. The close call only heightened her focus and resolve. Her aura, now charged with the building power of the Kamehameha, pulsed brilliantly around her. The blue radiance from her hands also intensified, casting a bright, almost blinding glow that illuminated their surroundings.
The second and final blast from Gohan flew at her chest, which was undefended as she prepared her attack. It sliced straight through the afterimage where a scrap of her hair was still falling from its predecessor, vaporising it instantly even as Bra moved on. She appeared with startling speed just under Gohan, positioned to his left, her placement carefully calculated to catch him off guard.
"Ha!" Bra's shout reverberated through the battlefield as she closed the remaining distance between her and Gohan. With every ounce of her remaining strength, Bra unleashed the Kamehameha wave. It erupted from her palms in a dazzling torrent of azure energy, a titanic force of destruction and power. The wave didn't just surge; it exploded forth with a startling brilliance. Its brilliance briefly outshone even the blazing sun above, casting a blinding radiance that engulfed the island. The air itself seemed to crackle as the Kamehameha roared towards Gohan, a cataclysmic force that threatened to engulf him in its devastating embrace.
As the resounding echoes of her Kamehameha wave subsided, Bra's energy reserves were depleted, leaving her feeling drained and vulnerable. She slowly descended from the turbulent skies, her lithe form gracefully touching down on the sandy ground. Her boots sank slightly into the soft surface as she settled on her knees. The battlefield around her bore the scars of their fierce battle, a testament to the sheer intensity of their clash.
With sweat-soaked hair clinging to her face and her once-pristine fighting gi now tattered and singed, Bra was battered but not defeated. She drew upon her Saiyan heritage, her willpower burning fiercely in her determined eyes. Uncertainty loomed as she scanned the battlefield, searching for any sign of Gohan amidst the dissipating energy particles. She wasn't sure if he was still standing, but she knew that she needed to dig deep within herself to find any power she had left. With a deep breath, she closed her eyes and began to power up once more, a soft aura of energy enveloping her as she tapped into her remaining reserves, ready to face whatever came next.

"Ka..."
The incantation began, even as Gohan desperately tried to solidify his offense, Bra's composure and focus exceeded his. She tapped into the depths of her Ki and it began to swell, even the ocean itself grew wild under the wake of her might.
"Me..."
Once more Bra swiftly avoided another bolt of energy, and all Gohan could do was marvel at how she lithely avoided his mad dash of energy bolts. Her energy spiked even further, and it emanated in waves, buffeting the arena training grounds and taking the boy aback.
"Ha..."
Her hands were clasped together, and the familiar cobalt blue sphere was within her grasp. The power that she wielded was immense, and rays of light shone from the sphere, bright enough to rival the glory of the sun itself.
"Me..."
The final blast had been cast, and Gohan wanted to desperately put an end to Bra's prefatory assault. The radiance of the blast further intensified even more so than before, the blue in her hands matched the blue in her eyes, and for the first time when Gohan stared into them...doubt seeped into his mind.
She vanished in a blur, her movement eclipsed his ability to track her by sight or sense. His heart thundered within his chest when he saw her materialize near him with the destruction wave within her grasp.
Even as Gohan attempted his hardest to move, to ignite his aura and boost him back, there was no avoiding what was to come...
She had him right where she wanted him, and there wasn't anything he could do about it. He was a half a beat too slow - and that made all the difference.
"HA!"
The energy roared towards Gohan like a tumultuous tidal wave, picking up dirt and debris in its path. The force of it is was staggering, threatening to tear the very fabric of the training ground apart.
Gohan's eyes widened, and his heart raced. He knew he had to block the attack or be overwhelmed.
With a deep breath, he gathered the remaining dirges of his own Ki energy, and his muscles tensed as he braced for impact.
The Super Kamehameha wave smashed into Gohan's defensive stance, generating an explosion of power and light that sent shockwaves throughout the training grounds. The ground beneath Gohan's feet trembled as the air crackled with fire and electricity.
Gohan strained with every fiber of his being, his arms trembled as he tried to push back against the force of the Super Kamehameha. Beads of sweat form on his forehead as he channeled all his strength into a desperate defense. He felt his body give way, his feet slipped, his balance broke, and it was in that moment that his thoughts drifted towards the parents he never knew.
They were strong martial artists, and that was all his shrouded memories told him. He was left alone in the in the forest, surviving any which way he knew how. Was it a path that they set him on? To get stronger? To fight? He took it as a challenge, and he had to rise to the occasion, or else he may never be worthy of them.
Yet his will and determination exceeded his physical capacity, and his body was eventually engulfed by the blast, even when he attempted to raise his aura around himself to aide in his defense, it wasn't enough. Gohan's body was shot backwards, bouncing against the ground like a rolling stack of hay. A sickening crunch was heard when his small frame rammed into a stone fixture, a yelp escaped his mouth and he ended face first onto the ground.
For several moments Gohan was sickeningly still, his tattered and bruised body was bare as his Gi had been singed away under the wake of the turtle destruction wave. Consciousness remained however, and he astoundingly managed to gather enough strength to remain on his knees as he crawled towards Bra, resolute in continuing on in spite of his condition.
He would put everything he had left to give, even as he crawled on his hands and knees, into a punch towards Bra's leg, that he ultimately whiffed by a mile and fell back onto the ground beside her.
Frustration budded and Gohan gritted his fist. He couldn't dare look at Bra as he spoke, his eyes welled with tears.
"Y-You...win...." It was during this time that perhaps Bra would understand that at the end of the day, Gohan was still just a child, a child that wasn't in full control of his emotions yet, and a child that hated to lose to the point of tears.

Bra stood on shaky legs, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath. Her body was a tapestry of pain, every movement a reminder of the intense battle she had just endured. She could feel Gohan's presence beside her, his labored breathing mirroring her own. Bra managed a tired but genuine smile. "You're no slouch yourself," she replied, her voice equally weary. "That was one heck of a battle. You did great..."After a moment, she slowly lowered herself to the sandy ground, her legs folding beneath her. Sitting cross-legged, she leaned back on her hands, taking in the vast expanse of the battlefield before them. The cerulean sky stretched endlessly overhead, a serene contrast to the chaos they had unleashed. As she regained her breath she let her body fall backward onto the soft, warm sand. Her lithe form sprawled out, her arms and legs splayed as she stared up.
She couldn't help but reflect on the incredible strength that Gohan possessed at such a young age. It was a thought that weighed heavily on her mind, not out of jealousy or rivalry, but out of pure admiration. Gohan's power, his tenacity, and his unwavering spirit in the heat of battle were nothing short of remarkable. There were moments when it seemed like he had nearly surpassed her during their fierce battle, pushing her to the very limits of her capabilities. However, his response indicated that he still lacked a certain level of maturity, despite his immense power. She believed that with time, that maturity would inevitably develop. Then there would be nothing holding him back.
As for herself, Bra knew that to survive the impending battles that awaited them, she would need to ascend to an even greater level of strength. Her lack of control had almost cost her this fight.
Action: Accept Surrender |
