-Act 4: Meteors-
"So Sum, how was my match?" Mr. Mystery asked as he sat down beside me.
"Sorry… but I don't know… I spent the entire match talking with Pan and Uub."
"Really? Wow… well I saw you helping up Pan after your match her, so I guess it was kinda obvious you'd talk with her. However, what about Uub?"
"Well, Uub came over here to compliment me on my match victory and to say that my match against him will be way harder than my match against Pan."
"Well if you defeat him you'll either go up against me or the victor of the next match. Ahahaha! I sure hope we both win our matches so we can fight against each other. Hahaha!" I stared at Mr. Mystery and wondered how this guy can love fighting so much, yet talk about like a game of tic-tac-toe. I also wondered how one guy can have so much luck. I mean his guy practically has shamed me with like over 8000 deus ex machina against me. This guy must be like on God's A-list of something… I really hope I can just get this all over with and go back home and eat instant noodles… Wait I don't know where I am let alone if my teleportation will ever work enough to get me anywhere that I can't actually see. I turned to Mr. Mystery and desperately asked him, "What Age are we in?"
"What Age? Well I think it's Age 194. More or less. Give or take. Ahahaha! Did you forget or something?" Age 194? That's one century and a three decades into the future! I can believe this! I teleported into the future! Wait… that means I don't have to worry about the cops following me. I guess it might not be all that bad to be here after all. "Porta, hey Porta. Are you daydreaming Porta?"
"What? Oh… sorry Mr. Mystery, I was a little distracted."
"Well pay better attention next time! Your match with Uub is about to begin!"
"What?" I quickly stood up took a big gulp from my water bottle and headed outside. "Well, see ya later Mr. Mystery! Wish me luck!" Uub was already outside on the Battle Platform waiting for me to begin our match.
"Match 5! Sum Porta vs. Uub! Let's get ready to see an incredible match! Contestants! BEGIN!" Uub quickly threw so many kicks and punches that all I could try to defend myself. He quickly delivered many blows that he stopped to let himself breathe. "Your mistake," I whispered as I teleported to one of the platforms corners.
"What the-," said Uub when he saw that I was no longer in his reach. I tried to gather as much strength as possible so I could prepare myself for when I actually try to fight against him. "Right here Uub!" I shouted as I tripped him from behind. He grabbed on to my ankles and smashed me over and over into the stone floor. "Argh!" I gotta to think fast if I don't wanna become part of the floor. You have to use chi from your feet to help yourself. Manipulate Chi, the energy. Pan and Mr. Mystery… if chi can travel to the feet… and if beams can be made from the hands… That's it!
"KAAAAA-ME!"
"Huh? Be quiet! There's no way you can know that!"
"HAAAAA-ME!"
Uub smashed me into the ground again. "Be quiet!"
"HA!" I screamed as I unleashed one of those beams that Mr. Mystery showed me… However this was from my feet. "Argh!" yelled Uub as he fell victim to my close-range foot beam. He let go of me and flew ten feet away from me. "How did you learn that? There's no way you should know it to!"
I stood up and snickered at Uub. "Ha! Talk is cheap! Let's hurry up and end this Uub!" I went towards him and kicked him with my bare feet(guess what happened to my shoes ). Uub then did an uppercut on me and knocked me down. "I'll gladly finish this!" he said as he flew up in the air. I might not know how to dance in the sky… but I've got a load of "choices". Uub began to charge a Kamehameha beam from his hands up in the sky. "KAAAAA-MEEE!"
Sorry Uub, but looks like you'll fall victim to my new attack! I teleported into the sky next to Uub and kept myself up there by teleporting over and over in the same place. "Did you miss me?"
"What? You know Instant Transmission to?"
"Yes! Now feel Houdini's Meteor!"
"What!" I teleported above Uub and like diving into a pool, I went towards Uub fist first. He was completely astounded and didn't have time to responded to my fists digging into his abdomen. We were just about to fall into the platform when I grabbed him and fire a small blast at the platform to slow our descent. We fell hard… however, not as hard as we could have. I looked at Uub. He looked worse than someone who survived their house being shotdown… well clothes and stamina wise. Besides that, he looked great for someone who survived a skydive without a parachute. He walked towards me and I braced myself for Round 2. "You win Sum Porta. You truly deserve to fight against my sensei." He then walked over to the announcer and said, "Uncle" in the calmest and happiest voice I've ever heard.
The announcer was dumbfounded, however he still had a job to do. "After this unbelievable fight, Uub has forfeited the match, so Sum Porta is the victor!" And in came the cheers from my adoring public. I heard whistles, air horns, and even people shouting my name. I was astounded by how much people actually liked these matches. I had to move back to contestants building, but let me tell you it was hard to do considering the toll my body has taken today. Then, I thought of Uub. I ran back instead to see Uub sitting with Mr. Mystery of "my" bench. "Hey Uub. How are you injuries?"
"Nothing big. Let me tell you right now Sum, that match… you didn't go all out did you."
"Well I did slow down our descent if that's what you mean. Like a wise man once said, "The person you fight isn't your opponent-"
"It's your friend."
I smiled once I heard that Uub knew this saying. That meant that my theory was correct. Considering what he said back in the platform also prove my hypothesis. Mr. Mystery is indeed the sensei of, at least Uub. However, Pan is still under the "indefinite" category. "So Mr. Mystery, I think it's time for you to go to your match."
"That's right Sum. Thanks! Here take this as a way of me saying 'thanks'" Mr Mystery then put two beans in my hand and left to fight against his last "friend". What a strange guy…
"Hey Sum, can I have one of those?"
"Sure. I don't see why anyone would want these beans anyway."
"Figures you wouldn't know about them. These beans are called Senzu Beans. Eating one of these beans will keep you full for ten days and restore your strength."
"Wow… well I guess we both need one. Bottoms up." I mumbled as I ate the wonder bean. Once I swallow the small miracle-maker, I felt power coaring through my veins. I felt my stomach expand and I no longer felt the need for food. "Wow Uub. This is fantastic!"
"I know. You're going to need all you energy if you're going to take him on."
"That guy sure is mysterious. I wonder if I'll be able to beat him."
"Not a chance. He's a god if you compare him to a normal earthling. If you compare him to OUR type of earthling then he's a legend. You might stand a chance against him. Especially since he never goes all out during tournaments."
"Well as long as I get to finish my plan I don't think it matters if I win or lose."
"You sure are calm."
"I just hope that everything ends well."
"Contestant Name Withdrawn has won! We will take a short intermission and return to the last match of the Tenka'ichi Budōkai, where Name Withdrawn will face Sum Porta!"
"Hey Sum! Looks like we'll be facing each other in the next round!"
"Looks like we will Mr. Mystery, looks like we will."
