[[Continued from here: A new journey begins! Spirit-ken training!]]
The elderly man readied himself in a stance unfamiliar to anyone that knew him. His knees were bent as were his elbows. His hands were flat and un-fisted. His eyes had a certain twinkle in them that they hadn?t had in far too long of a time. The aged human?s expression was calm; he also carried a small smile across his face. A warm aura encompassed his entire persona, and yet he had made no effort to call upon any power he had.
The large musty ogre gave a chuckle as he looked down upon time worn warrior. ?So, you think you can really take me then? Your funeral, old man.? Gramps was done giving any kind of responses and just shrugged off what he had said. Gohan waited.
The bartender looked on, unaware of the destruction that would befall his bar. He was curious as to Grandpa Gohans fighting ability though, and wondered if he would put up a better fight than the kids had, so far, he had.
As if fallowing the same train of thought, both the fighters vanished from sight. The elderly man behind the bar looked around, and saw nothing. Then, directly in front of him in mid air the two warriors connected, the old fighter?s knee was firmly implanted in the forearm of the large green humanoid. He winced slightly from the power of the elderly man, and just as quickly as they had appeared, they had disappeared again. Large booms erupted around the room, stand alone chairs and tables were quickly destroyed from the shockwaves that were volleyed back and forth between the two warriors.
A large boom rattled over the head of the bartender, the green fighter had managed to land a swift and powerful blow to the stout mans gut, sending him into the far wall. Part of the wall crumbled down upon Gramps as he impacted it. There was no movement. The pub owner shook his head as if he had suffered the defeat himself.
?Stupid old man, He could never beat me. He did give me more of a fight than those wretched kids however.? He laughed in victory.
The hulking jade humanoid turned to the bartender; giving him a good look over. He obviously wasn?t the person that he was looking for, more so of a person that knew the whereabouts of the person that he was seeking. He walked over to the long table that was the bar and looked deep into the eyes of the old human.
?Where?s Jyukin?? he questioned.
?Come again??
?Don?t play stupid with me; you know exactly who I?m talking about!? It was clear in his voice that he was quite agitated with the whole situation.
???
The warriors are was quick to grab at the bartenders collar and lift him off his knees. ?Tell me!? he shook him as he roared out in complaint.
A rock fell from the pile. Then another. Soon enough old man Gohan had dug himself out of the debris. He simply brushed himself off, not overly concerned about the brute that had just knocked him into a wall. After a moment of cleaning himself up he shot a glance at the ogre.
?What?s your name sonny?? he questioned.
?Ahaha! I gotta hand it to you Gramps, Your not as frail as you look!? he responded.
?Ill tells you my name, but you won?t be knowing it for long, since you?re standing in your grave!?
He was not impressed in the least. ?So tell me, already.? His voice was cold and stern, yet it carried the softness of the old man that he was.
?Jiah Hokai?
?Well, I might as well introduce myself as well. Son Gohan-jiisan?
?I don?t care about your name; you?re the one who?s going to die here, not me.? He retorted as if offended by Gohan extending his name.
?Well, lets get this show on the road then.?
?Lets.?
Not waiting for any sign of an opening this time, Grandfather Gohan rushed Jiah. Just as he was upon the emerald combatant he came to almost a complete halt. He used the momentum from running on his last step to plant his hands into his foe?s stomach. Jiah almost doubled over from the unexpected pain. Before he had time to back up however, the old man was already going for a follow up attack. He had planted his hands into the jade fighter?s stomach so that his hands connected at the wrists.
Jiah looked down at the old man as a white light appeared where his hands were planted.
?Masenko? was the only thing he muttered. The light grew exponentially before shooting out of the old mans hands; the beam shot him to the other side of the bar. The beam illuminated the bar and covered Jiah in its light, making him fade from sight.
As the beam hit the wall it exploded, bringing down almost the entire wall.
?Ladies and gentlemen, fights from all over! Syntech is proud to present to you the second annual Dante?s Abyss!?
Gohan looked about, shocked and amazed. ?Another DA? So soon?? he thought to himself. Memories of Conquest flooded him, Pigero?s death from the mighty explosion, his own ?death? when he fought against the small bug leader of the Outcast Forces, Cell Junior. His fight against Justinian with the help of King Cold.
?Maybe I should sign up again?? he questioned himself. ?I might be able to see some of the old Dante Forces.?
Almost immediately he had made up his mind and quickly made his way to the sign up station. Much to his surprise, and relief, it was not the woman who had taken him though the sign-ups the previous competition. The attended was a young woman, long dark hair, dark eyes, tan complexion; most dudes would have killed to date her.
?Name?? he asked, her voice was soft and innocent, only adding to her beauty.
?Son Gohan-jiisan, you should have me on file, I had participated in Dante?s Abyss: Conquest.? He replied.
She moved the mouse around and clicked a few types and hit a couple keys on the keyboard before she responded. ?Yep, we have you on file, have you learned any fighting techniques since you last participated in DA??
?I can?t say that I have.?
?Well okay then, I have all the information I need, now you just need to step through he teleportation tube on your left, and you will be transported to the arena.?
?Thank you.? He smiled and left for the teleportation tube. It was time to get this show on the road.
