Under any other circumstances, Gohan would've held off on the reinforcements. He knew how powerful he was back then, and the last thing he wanted was to put someone else in danger. At the same time though, he himself didn't have much of a chance the way he was now, and he knew Nita had the same level of strength he had.

So, after a moment of constant dodging and blocking, Gohan finally spoke up.

"A hand would--" He started, before getting cut off by a punch aimed at his face. The older man bringing one hand up, and catching the fist, before yanking it downward and delivering a powerful kick to his younger self, driving him back. "A hand would be great, yeah. I was... not in a good place when I was younger."

His younger self was pushed back a bit, but ultimately, didn't take enough damage to fall down. Seemingly seething at the fact that Gohan was hurting him, as the older man tensed back up into a fighting stance.

"The way my normal powers work, I'm at my strongest when I'm angry." He explained, gulping down the lump in his throat. "And when I was ten, I was... very angry."
