Even though the audience lost sight of her completely, Gohan and the Z-fighters didn't. Glancing up, the spiky haired half-Saiyan saw his friend reappear in the air several stories above him and dive straight down towards the ring. The second she blew within range, the girl cocked her foot back and, with a loud battle cry, spun a kick straight into his head.
Gohan's arm shot up to guard and the second the teen's leg collided, a shockwave rang out that produced a small, earthly tremor.
The impact being heard all around, the demi-Saiyan and his opponent held their positions for a whole five seconds. When the glowing girl eventually disengaged, the boy in orange looked at his raised arm in surprise, upon which he started feeling pins and needles that had his hair standing on end.
"Gaaah! I actually felt that." He probably shouldn't have relaxed so much. She put all of her power into that blow.
Unfortunately he didn't have time to gawk at his arm because the second Videl landed in front of him, the girl threw a right straight into his face. The boy dodged it and countered with his good arm, his fist crashing into the girl's block with the sound of a gunshot. Growling against the fist digging into her guard, the human fighter then slammed a kick into his forward leg and back flipped away, using the young Saiyan as a step ladder.
Upon spring boarding away, the instant Videl hit the ground the girl turned to the side and vanished in another crack of wind. Gohan's eyes darted left, following the clouds of dust that burst up in the direction the girl was traveling, before suddenly seeing her reappear on his right and throw a hook at his face. Blocking it blindly, he then turned to face her, where he was then met with the full fury of the girl's assault.
Punches and kicks flying, the raven haired girl began viciously attacking the half-Saiyan, forcing him to backpedal across the ring at a comfortable pace, blocking and parrying all of her attacks. Slipping left and right in a blur of movement, Gohan deflected and parried all of her blows, leading them into a running battle across the ruined arena.
The audience watched the pair vanish in the form of two indiscernible blurs that darted across the stage left and right. They couldn't tell who was who. All they could do was look around in confusion, and listen to the sounds of kiloton blows connecting over and over again. The most obvious shouts filling the air belonged to Videl, while the occasional grunt and exclamation of surprise came from Gohan.
Clearly sticking to defensive to see what else his student could do, the cheerful half-Saiyan began mixing it up and throwing in counters to try and throw his opponent off. In the midst of their scuffle, Gohan parried one of Videl's punches and threw a counter, only for her to block it and retaliate with an even more vicious assault. Glad to see how determined she was, he then threw a hard elbow, only to have it connect with one of her own that produced a concussive shockwave that cracked the ground beneath them.
Feeling the tremor, the astonished announcer gazed in awe at the sight before deciding to address his equally stunned audience. "Wow! What an amazing development! It seems our previous champion Videl has learned a few new moves since the last tournament! Feel that power! She's definitely not making it easy for our newcomer Gohan! Look at them go!"
Growling, Videl then threw a random flurry of punches, all of which Gohan intercepted with his own, their knuckles colliding in rapid succession before he interrupted the exchange with a swift, sweeping kick. Swaying back to avoid and leaping through the air, the pigtailed fighter drew her hand back and with a shout, fired a yellow blast of energy straight down at her opponent, only to see him slap it aside with a chop and counter with a blast of his own.
Videl dropped fast and avoided it, the attack shooting out of the stadium and into the sky. Once she was crouched, a blue aura suddenly exploded around her and, cocking her right fist back, produced a stream of electricity around it. She then shot forward, her energy taking on a strange, arrowhead shape that surprised the young Saiyan at her sudden increase in speed.
With a mighty bellow, the raven haired girl drove her lightning charged fist towards her foe in a blur. "Hawk Arrow!" She then connected with the cross-arm block Gohan held up, an impact producing an earthshaking thunderclap. The force of the attack traveled through the boy and punched a trench into the ring behind him, flinging debris into the air and a blast of wind across the stands.
Aura still raging around her, Videl kept her fist embedded in the teen's arm when she saw him smile at her.
"Nice power."
Grinning, the young fighter then sprang away. The moment Gohan fell into a defensive stance, his friend touched down on the very edge of the arena and powered up. Taking aim, Videl threw her hands forward and unleashed a concentrated golden blast of energy, much larger than her last, and lobbed it at the boy. The half-Saiyan slapped it out of the coliseum and fired one in kind, forcing the girl to leap to the side and avoid it. The second it took out a small chunk of the ring, she fired a second, resulting in an epic shoot out between the two.
Streaks of light flashed across the concrete mat, blasting out chunks of tile and concrete. The audience watched the display in awe, every so often screaming and ducking to avoid being pelted by debris. Eventually, after a trade off that lasted for several long seconds, Videl then had a stroke of luck when she landed off to the side and launched a single-handed blast at her opponent. This one came in low and fast, forcing Gohan to speedily leap into the air and avoid it as it took out the section he was standing on.
Suspending himself several stories above the ring, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, "Woot. That was a close one. Huh?" Noticing his opponent had disappeared, Gohan began looking around to see where she'd gone, only to then spin around when he sensed her reappear behind him in a charge. Impressed by her agility, he then engaged her in a midair battle, punches and kicks flying between them as they traded hit after hit. The sounds of rapid-fire gunshots once again filled the arena, drowning out all other noises.
Zangya, blinking as she watched the pair battle it out while the audience gawked, tiled her head when she heard Videl's shouts of effort. "Is it just me… or is wonder boy actually coaching the little spitfire?"
The Namekian warrior merely smiled.
