"Are you sure this is wise, Gokan? You're not in the best condition at the moment."
"Go."
"Aprile is right. Maybe you should recover a bit more...."
"Santamu, the man said 'go', so let's GO!"
The air snapped around Elisia's body as she lunged forward, throwing a punch toward Gokan's face. The Saiyan, who remained in a statuesque posture, dipped to his right, allowing the female to soar past him. Pretty much immediately, Elisia responded to the dodge with a sharp elbow to Gokan's face. He was caught off guard and stumbled to the side and nearly fell over if it had not been for a slight incline that he used to maintain some sort of balance. "Ya like that?" The fiesty redhead, Elisia, asked rhetorically as she took her fighting stance.
Gokan didn't immediately respond to the woman who bore the codename D-11, but instead glanced over toward Aprile and Santamu, the only other two members of the Doll Unit close enough to Gokan to pose an immediate threat. Up until four days ago, Gokan had been recovering from the assault by a mysterious robed woman. That encounter ended with the woman doing something to his body that left him in severe agony for the past two weeks.
"Had this fight taken place a year ago, you would've mopped the floor with me. If You hadn't left Eden for three years, this fight would've been a stalemate..."
Gokan's eyes narrowed before he released two streaks of ki, one toward Aprile and Santamu both before he charged Elisia, who attempted a roundhouse kick in response. As Aprile and Santamu deflected the ki attacks, Gokan threw his forearms up in front of his face, stopping Elisia's leg from making contact with his face. His arms were then thrown forward, which in turn knocked the woman off balance. And while she was distracted, an uppercut sent her on her way, away from the Saiyan.
"I said GO!!!!!!" Within seconds, streams of ki began to light up the island as he unleashed blast after blast toward the eleven non-attacking members of the Doll Unit. Gokan hadn't dragged the entire unit out to some military designated island for a picnic. He brought them here to train.
"The changes you've gone through have given you significant power, but they come with a drawback. At this rate, you will degrade into a decrepit, hollow shell of your former self. Your power will whither as you stagnate, and you will die, Gokan Bushino."
The woman crippled him. Why? He had no idea, and had no time to sit around and guess. He needed to find a way to bypass the painful lock on his own physical abilities, and the only thing he knew of that would do so would be to physically exert himself. And to his knowledge, there was no better way to exert yourself than to fight twelve people at once. Katilina, Julia, and Kasumi especially would not approve of the methods Gokan employed in order to return to his peak, nor would they appreciate the fact that he went behind their backs and solicited the help of the Doll Unit. Though in his mind, getting friends to help him was a lot better than the alternative.
It was either the Doll Unit or the Hero Force, and he was sure that they did not want him to cause an international incident by picking a fight with Captain Generica or Power Princess.
Then again, TEMPLAR was an alternative. Too bad their ranks have splintered as of late.
"You are going to break down into a withered shell, Gokan. And when you do, they will be here to kill you."
"Fine then, Gokan!" Carmen exclaimed moments after she caught one of Gokan's own ki blasts and dispersed it within her hands. "If you want us all at once, then so be it!" At that exact moment, Carmen and Elisia launched themselves toward the Saiyan warrior, who immediately ignited his aura and blasted off into the air. Unfortunately, Xiayu used her speed to not only catch up to Gokan but also eclipse him. With minimal effort, she flipped and planted both of her sneakers on Gokan's head, shooting him to the ground with enough force to kick up a cloud of dirt.
The Saiyan slid a good twenty feet before he shoved his right shoulder against the ground and used the force to lift himself, providing enough momentum to cartwheel back to his feet. He stared at the attacking women an as he rubbed his head, and he couldn't help but smile. "Yeah, that's more like it," He exclaimed as he turned and looked over at Santamu and Aprile, "You two gonna jump in, or are you going to stand there?"
"Oh God, Kasumi is going to kill us."
"Yeah, but on the bright side, we can beat him up before she beats us up!"
"Go."
"Aprile is right. Maybe you should recover a bit more...."
"Santamu, the man said 'go', so let's GO!"

"To demonstrate just how hollow you will become, your ki has been inhibited. You will cause yourself great pain in your upcoming struggles, and you will need that to make yourself stronger."
