135 Beam struggle (1/2)

”Haaa. Amazing…” Goku was exhausted, he was heavily panting and his whole body trembled slightly. He had numerous cuts, holes and bruises all over his body. Some of the injuries were as long as 40 cm. He was standing on the arena, trying to catch his breath. Opposite of him was Aize who had some bruises here and there, but nothing that could be said to be a serious injury.

His breathing was as steady as before, nothing indicated that he just had a heaven devastating battle.

Aize leaned slightly forward, preparing to dash at Goku and end this fight, but before he could do so, a blurry figure appeared a few meters beside him and with it, a dazzling light.

”Haaa!” A youthful voice sounded out. A blue beam headed right for Aize. The blazing beam distorted the air with its high temperature and caved in the white tiles on the ground. Aize wasn't able to dodge as it was already too close.

”Tch. Ha!” A barrier formed around Aize. It blocked the beam and broke it into several beams behind him. He saw the recovered Gohan gritting his teeth as he put all his might into this Kamehameha. Goku suddenly appeared beside him, nodded at his son and then cupped his hands, drawing it to his side.

”Kamehame…haaaaaaa!” A similar but much stronger blue beam shot out, directly at Aize. In the flight it fused with Gohan's beam, forming a much bigger ki beam.

Aize, with his barrier, was slightly pushed into the ground, forming a hole in the middle of the arena. Aize was slightly pushed closer to the edge of the arena. He was gritting his teeth as he resisted the fused beam. With more effort he managed to stop, coming to a standstill with the two Ascended Super Saiyans.

His vision was obstructed by the gigantic blue ki beam and the wave attack sounded out right in his face, but that couldn't hinder his ability to hear what was going on, on the other side of the beam. He heard several voices and he instantly knew what was going on.

”Kamehameha!” ”Final Flash!” ”Masenko!” ”Makankōsappō” ”Maiden Blast!” ”Saturday Crush!”

Numerous ki beams headed towards Aize. They intermixed turning into a rainbow-colored beam. It directly pulverizing the tiles as it pushed Aize further back. Taro suddenly appeared beside and looked at Aize who was rapidly being pushed to the arena's boundary.

”Need some help?” Taro asked teasingly and proceeded to gather ki in both of his palms.

”Do I… look like… I... need... hel…p??” The veins all over his body were already bulging, threatening to burst any second.

”Hehe. Solar Buster! Ha!” He thrusted both his hands forwards, sending a bright golden ki beam directly against the fused beam. The beam from Taro was strong, but against the incoming attacks it was slightly pushed backwards.

Aize took the short delay of the beam and gripped his wrist with his other hand and poured all his energy into his open palm. The energy made his hand completely golden with arcs of golden lightning coming out to his sides.

”Collapsing Star Burst!” A thick beam instantly fused with Taro's and resisted the incoming attack. Although Aize was somewhat exhausted, with Taro, who didn't spend one bit of his attack until now, they were able to not only equal out the attack but push it back. Taro, in raw power, was stronger than Aize but his strength in combat could be said to be less than his. In a beam struggle like this, he could show of his advantage.

He started putting more energy into his attack and like a pulse, Aize and Taro's attack pushed the Z-Fighters attacks further back. But as they were fighting, Krillin approached Goku from the side and fed him a Senzu Bean in midst the struggle.

After eating the bean, his power had instantly been recovered and without hesitation pushed everything inside his Kamehameha wave again. With the sudden boost, their beam steadily pushed Taro's and Aize's beam back. 17, 18, Krillin, Yamcha and Tien quickly joined the others and blasted an attack of their own against their opponents.

At this point the arena was already a mess, no tile remained at its spot at the onslaught of this clash of beams. The ground was utterly ruined. A giant crater was formed by the impact. Every stray energy completely obliterated everything it touched.

Taro and Aize were being pushed back, theoretically it shouldn't be possible for them to contend with the Z-Fighters combined force, but surprisingly they were holding on longer than their opponents thought. After seeing Aize struggle against the father-son-Kamehameha, they quickly decided to strike, even if Taro still had yet to make a move. This was an opportune chance that they couldn't miss!
