Only One Can Be The Best

"This is it folks! This is the match we have been waiting for! Both these boys have had it easy heading into the finals but now it comes down to just them! Let's get this match started!"

"I hope you know Taiken, I am going to win!" Saikon said as he took a similar stance to Taiken.

Taiken had his hand in front of his face getting ready. "Yeah, I hope you mean that as in win second place! There is no way I am going to let you beat me!" He headed straight for him.

Saikon waited. He then went to punch Taiken and Taiken did the same. Their fists clashed. They then went to kick eachother and once again they clashed. It seemed like it was a small explosion. This continued for several minutes. Finally they both jumped back in backflips and when they landed they stared eachother down.

"How the heck did you stand up to that? Oh well, doesn't matter anymore." Taiken went at him again.

This time so did Saikon. They clashed again but this time it was their forearms. They then both hit eachother right on the sides of their faces. They stood up after landing from the hit and rubbed their cheek where they were hit.

'This match is awesome. It was just what I wanted to see today. I am so excited.' The announcer thought to himself.

They got faster and better as they clashed. Finally Saikon tried to land a kick high on Taiken and when that happened Taiken dropped below him and sweep kicked him. Then Saikon landed on his hands and started hopping back. Taiken smiled and so did Saikon. They were having a blast fighting. They went to attack eachother again and they both dodged. They then started to move around the arena faster and it seemed they would disappear and all you would hear was their clashes and hits. They continued on.

"Well would you look at that? You can't seem them anywhere!" The crowd was shouting.

Eventually all the clashing blows stopped and they were on opposite sides of the ring. Taiken was still smiling and so was Saikon. This time Saikon really wanted to end it though. "I am going to perform an energy related technique, after I do it you will be out of this match." He started to build up energy in both his hands. "Kai Blast!" He started shooting off balls of energy at Taiken.

Taiken was trying to dodge them all at first but decided he could do better. He then focused and started kicking them back at Saikon. Saikon then started to blast the ones coming back at him. That created a smoke screen. Soon Taiken came through the smoke screen and hit him in the face. Saikon went flying but landed on the edge of the ring. Taiken went to hit him again and that is when Saikon kicked him on the jaw and sent Taiken flying back to his own side. They both stood up two seconds later.

"I think I can beat you with your own technique Saikon." He started build up energy as well. He put his hands together. "Double Kai Blast!" He shot off stronger balls of energy at Saikon.

Saikon started dodging them. He started to blast them but it didn't work. His were too weak. He then did the same thing as Taiken. He started to blast him with ones he created with two hands. After all the blasts stopped they stood where they were. "You're better then I thought kid."

"So are you Saikon." Taiken was starting to lose his energy. He then decided that he could keep going on. He went at him and more clashes happened.

"How do these kids keep doing this?!" The crowd was puzzled.

When they landed they were out of energy. They were both breathing heavily.

The crowd was in pure awe of what they had done. Then one guy was standing. "More, more!" The whole crowd started shouting. "MORE MORE MORE!!"

This seemed to reenergize both Taiken and Saikon. What they didn't realize is that they only had enough for one more blow a piece. They both went at eachother. They flew through the air and landed a kick on eachother's jaws and then they both went flying. They both landed outside the ring at the same exact time. They were both out cold.

The announcer got in the ring. "Umm... We haven't had this happen before. Let me see if there is anything in the rules about this." He found a rule book. "Well the rules state that if they both pass out in the ring then the first one to stand up and declare, 'I am the champion' would be the winner. However if they both pass out on the outside of the ring then the match is a draw and they split the prize." The announcer stated.

The entire crowd was shocked. All of a sudden a roar started up of cheers. "That was a great match! We should have more like this one in the future!"

Eventually Taiken stood up. He was shocked though. "I landed outside the ring!"

"Yes you did, the match is over." The announcer stated.

"Wait, so you mean I lost?!"

"Well not exactly. Saikon also landed outside the ring, at the same exact time as you."

"So what happens with the prize?"

"You guys split it down the middle."

"Ok, I guess I need to train harder for next time." He smiled as he went over to Saikon. "Hey, wake up!"

Saikon woke up. "What happened with the match? Did I lose?"

"Actually we both landed outside the ring and so we are gonna have to split the prize fifty-fifty. That was the best match I have had all day though."

"Same here." He smiled as he stood up and started walking.

"Time for me to start training." He looked around before walking away.

Is this for real? Did he actually tie with someone else and not get mad about it? Well maybe next time they meet there will be a different outcome.

Next time on Dragon Ball Z. It looks like Iko knows more things that are useful in Taiken's quest to becoming stronger. But just what is this odd looking orange ball on the ground?
