Chapter 321 - Chapter 321

(Back on Earth)

Sandra's outburst was only the beginning of things to come. Before Gohan could even begin to regain his bearings, he suddenly found himself being brutally assaulted by his opponent, who proceeded to unleash the biggest ass-kicking he'd ever received upon his person. Her rage burned around her as intensely as her aura and lightning, as every hook, elbow, punch and kick Sandra managed to land crashed against the boy's arms and body; smashing his guard open like the window of a car.

The sound generated by all of her attacks connecting one after the other was equivalent to that of an artillery bombardment falling upon the landscape, with the shockwaves actually mimicking the ferocity of one.

As for the female Saiyan, she no longer held the serious or composed expression she'd previously been wearing. The instant she snapped, her face had transformed into one of unbridled fury. Coupled with her frenzied attack upon her adversary and it became clear that Gohan was no longer fighting the same Sandra he was before. The female Super Saiyan 3 cried out as she swung at her target with reckless abandon, pulverizing his guard several times with straights before splitting it open with a wicked uppercut. The instant his head was exposed, she then mashed him with hooks, before thrusting a kick into his chest, smashing him across the landscape and plowing him through the dirt.

Gohan, lying in a massive crater of his own making, spit up blood and looked up in shock, where he saw Sandra marching towards him with lightning dancing around her in a storm. By this point, a devilish grin had spread across her bloody face, indicating the Saiyan was excited.

"Come on, Gohan… get up. I know you've got way more than that in you! Hit me! Fight me!" Running her tongue over her lips and sucking up the blood running down her face, Sandra giggled madly, her eyes blood shot and reflecting a look of hunger. "Show me the girth of a true Saiyan Warrior! A true Super Saiyan! Give it to me! Give me everything you have! I want it! I want all of it!"

Not willing to go down that easily, Gohan sprang to his feet and leapt at his opponent with a punch, only to suddenly get hit in the face by lightning fast hook from a sharp angle. Several more punches flew at him from random angles that he desperately tried to block, but no matter where he positioned his arms Sandra's fists powered right through his defenses. After several more crushing blows, Gohan retaliated with a right straight, but had his wrist caught by Sandra and pulled towards her. Bringing his face right in front of hers, Sandra then snarled at her opponent through a manic and beastly grin.

"You call that a punch? That was pathetic," Sandra growled, bringing back her knee and burying it into Gohan's stomach, knocking the wind out of his lungs. "I want you to hit me! To rip me apart with your bare hands!" She then grabbed his long golden mane, pulled him up, and began driving her fist into his face. Loud crunch sounds rung out every time she struck him, more and more blood becoming smeared over her knuckles with every draw, "Fight me! Fight me! FIGHT ME! FIGHT MEEEEE!"

Quickly regaining a moment of consciousness in between her punches, Gohan yelled out and threw his head forward, his skull crashing into Sandra's face. The hit causing her to release her quarry, Sandra spat blood onto the floor and smirked broadly.

"That's the spirit!" Sandra barked, darting forward and slamming a fist into the man. "Do or die! Fight to your last breath!"

Stumbling, the demi-Saiyan barely had enough time to put up his arms before he was once again set upon by his adversary. From that point, both he and the audience of four standing on the sidelines could only watch helplessly as Sandra proceeded to pummel him into submission. Despite being able to stay on his feet, the attacks the woman landed smashed right through his guard, hitting him repeatedly in the face and body. What's more, not only were her attacks thrown with full swings and full power, but they were fast and continuous, coming in one after the other without pause.

Sandra yelled and grunted every time she threw an attack, kicking Gohan in the sides, battering his front with straight punches, and knocking his upper body from side to side with merciless hooks. Every once in a while she threw an uppercut into his body, burying her fists into his ribs and knocking the wind out of him. At first it looked as though the half-Saiyan would be able to withstand the assault, but as her punches and kicks continued to knock him about, it quickly became apparent that he wouldn't. Soon, Gohan could no longer keep his arms up and was now staggering about, Sandra's fists impacting his head over and over again, sending his blood splattering all over.

Her fighting style no longer reflected the grace and choreography of a trained warrior. No. Every single attack she threw was that of a ruthless thug; one more animal than Saiyan. As a result, no mercy or quarter was shown towards her enemy. Just violence.

Zangya's expression reflected horror when she watched the dazed and barely conscious Gohan receive another crushing blow to the head. "GOHAN!" she screamed out.

Laughing in a psychotic manner, her enraged state preventing her from hearing the Hera's cry, Sandra let loose several more haymakers upon her foe, watching Gohan's face cave in and feeling his bones turn to mush beneath her knuckles. By this point, her gloves, once a clean and shining white, were now turned red from the boy's blood. When a bit more splattered across her face, the Empress licked it up and lunged in with another punch. "What's wrong, stallion?! CAN'T KEEP UP WITH ME ANYMORE?! Well, FUCK YOU!" she howled as she drove one more punch across his face, sending Gohan flying into a boulder. The instant his body collided with it and wedged into its side, leaving the teen lying unconscious against it, the female Saiyan powered up and charged in one last time, "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!"

"STOOOOOP!" Zangya cried out, sprinting towards the pair several dozen yards away.

Looking up in alarm, Vegeta also leapt forward, "Zangya! Wait!"

Gohan's face was barely recognizable. Due to the amount of blows Sandra had landed, not only was both his cheeks puffed up like he had cotton stuffed into his mouth, but his right eye had swollen completely shut, he had blood running from his eyes, forehead, mouth, ears and nose, and a swollen temple throbbing in the corner of his hairline. As for the rest of his body, it was clear he had nothing left. No more punches, kicks, knees, or words left to give. He'd been hit so many times by Sandra's latest assault that he'd practically been broken. His arms were hanging limply from his shoulders and his legs could no longer support him, which was clearly shown by how he was lying against that boulder, waiting for the last punch now hurtling his way.

"W-What happened?" Gohan thought, unable to see anything but blackness, "Did I… did I lose? Am I… dead?"

No. He wasn't dead. But he was out of it. All he could feel was numbness and a cold fast approaching him. The clear signs of his brain shutting down and his body failing him.

"Who… who did this to me?" He was at a complete loss. The punches his brain had received had literally knocked him senseless.

There was no light in his one remaining eye, as it was staring vacantly up into the sky… into an unending darkness. Though he'd been knocked unconscious, he was still in his Super Saiyan 3 form, which was miraculously being held up by whatever willpower his body was gripping onto.

It wouldn't make much difference in the next few milliseconds though, as Sandra, approaching him in bullet time, unleashed a fully loaded punch towards his face, her knuckles corkscrewing through the air like a missile.

Unable to see it coming, the busted up Gohan could only stare into darkness and wonder who had knocked him out.

All of a sudden, from out of the shadows, he heard the sound of several low voices echoing all around, moments before a group of faces came flying right at him. When they stopped, Gohan found himself confronted by the demonic mugs of Radditz, Nappa, Garlic Junior, Turles, Lord Slug, Recoome, Ginyu, Frieza, Android 13, Doctor Gero, Broly, Hatchiyack, Cell, Bojack and Vulcan, all grinning at him and taunting him with a haunting chorus of chuckles and laughter.

"Wh-What's this?" Gohan thought with a confused look in play, watching as the bodies of his past villains stepped into view and stood over him, all cackling and grinning at him while bathed in a blood red glow. "What the hell are all of you doing here?"

Knowing who each and every one of them were and remembering what all of them had done to him and his friends, the sight of all these villains staring him down just… pissed him off.

Really, really… really pissed him off.

"It's all…

"…"

"…"

"It's all…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

Then… it happened.

"IT'S ALL YOUR FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLT!"

An explosion louder than anything anyone had ever heard suddenly rang out as a shockwave greater than a comet colliding with the planet rocked the entire continent, as Gohan, from out of nowhere, drove a punch right into Sandra's face. His scream of rage was drowned out by the impact of his blow, which reverberated through the heavens with the distinct sound of bones crunching. In that moment, Sandra's skull and jaw fractured, while her head was sent bending in the opposite direction she'd been moving.

So sudden was the attack that everyone, from Zangya and her lot on the sidelines, to the group watching from King Koku's Palace, to the Gods watching several hundred thousand galaxies away, stood frozen in astonishment.

Almost immediately after landing his meteor of a haymaker, Gohan set upon Sandra with an onslaught of blows. Moving so fast that his attacks blurred together, the enraged demi-Saiyan unleashed the most brutal rush attack his friends had ever seen him perform, the sound of multiple thunderclaps and bones being mashed echoing all around. With his fists and shins powering into her from all angles, the stunned Saiyan Empress was unable to do anything as she was battered around like a piñata. The instant Gohan's first body mangling salvo ended, blood spewed out of Sandra's open mouth, along with a strangled cry of agony.

"What the fuck?" Maya whispered, watching Sandra's body fly back and crash into a hillside, disintegrating it and every other hill stretching behind her for several miles in a cloud of dust.

"G-Gohan," Zangya choked out, having stopped in her tracks the moment she saw him wake up.

Or so it seemed.

With blood caking his face and his teeth bared, Gohan had taken rage-out to a whole other level. A snarling sound left his lips with ever breath he exhaled, steam leaving both his mouth and nostrils, and clouding the air around him. What's more, on top of the bodily fluids running down his swollen face, his eyes had creased in a clear display of fury, and his one open eye had glazed over with a shade of red. Since he was still in his Super Saiyan 3 form, his transformation made his expression look all the more beastly, as he stood in place panting like a wild animal.

That was just sugarcoating it. He looked down right terrifying.

To put it simply, the audience was at a complete loss.

"It looked like he was knocked out by Sandra's punches," Vegeta murmured, blinking as he watched Gohan sprint after his stunned opponent. "I don't get it."

"It happened while he was unconscious," Zangya spoke up, drawing the prince's attention towards her. "He must have snapped."

Maya looked across at the Z-fighters in shock, "W-What does that mean? What happens when he snaps?"

The Hera looked at the pair of invaders fearfully, "I've only seen him lose it a couple of times. But this is the first time I've ever seen him rage out like this." She then looked back to see Gohan close the final distance between him and his enemy, "I don't know what the hell happened to him while he was knocked out for those five seconds, but whatever did, it really must have gotten under his skin."

She had no idea.
