Author's Note: I'm so very sorry this took a very long time to get out, I've been extremely busy with so many things that kept building up, but here's chapter 2, now firstly I need to say something and this might come off as a bit rude but I just have to say this. You guest reviewers REALLY need to either make your own accounts or use a nickname. I keep seeing unnamed guests and until recently I thought they were the same person, so this confused me. Unless it's the same guy who is still just "guest" I might not approve any unnamed guest reviews anymore unless nicknames are used. So now that is over, let's enjoy the fight between Heihachi and Gula, this was very tricky for me for write and it gave me so much trouble.


Chapter 2 – Mishima vs. Saiyan

'Monkey-girl'….. if there is anything that can get under a Saiyan's skin, it has to be being called a monkey. It is such a degrading and condescending insult that it makes any Saiyan infuriated, and nearly all of Freeza's soldiers refer to them as such to taunt them. The fact this man called Gula a monkey will be the last mistake he ever made, and she'll make him pay for it when she beats him and his balding head so deep into the ground!

Once Gula charged at Heihachi she raised both her arms up to start throwing hard punches at him, he reacted by attempting to block them but was hit by one during the flurry of attacks. Gula took that chance to spin herself around and nail the man's side with a Roundhouse kick to send him far back.

It certainly made some distance between the two fighters as he flew back, but Heihachi quickly recovered by bracing his feet and a hand in the ground to prevent himself from being sent further back away from his opponent.

From these short exchange of blow Heihachi was able to notice that despite the woman having strong power in her attacks, her fighting style was sloppy and unpolished. As if she was just throwing random blows and hoped for the best with such an unrefined style. If Gula did something about that, she'd be even more of a force to be reckoned with.

As Heihachi stood back up and kept a cautious look at Gula, the Saiyan stood there with a deathly glare which made the man let out an amused scoff. It was his turn now to press on the attack as both warriors charged at each other. The Elder Mishima used his skill and refined fighting tactics to his advantage as he had Gula on the edge with a series of punches and kicks she was barely able to block or dodge before taking another hard palm to her chest, seeing her enemy's hand spark with light blue lightning before being sent back into a tree.

Gula had landed on all fours as she breathed heavily and coughed up a bit of blood, she couldn't believe what was happening here. Low-class without ki skills or not, she was still a proud Saiyan warrior, and here she was losing ground to an elderly man that was not only a strong fighter but also had form and finesse to his fighting style. Needless to say, Gula was feeling frustrated, if Freeza's soldiers couldn't kill her even when ganging up on her then this man certainly would if she didn't do something.

So against the better judgement of common sense in favor of her pride, Gula once again charged at Heihachi in a mad rush who was prepared for her in a stance. Once again, she just threw punch after punch and the occasional kick to at least try to hit the man, who seemed to read her like an open book and was constantly blocking and dodging the attacks.

As Gula's rage kept rising from her frustration from all the misses, so did her speed. Her punches and kicks came at the man much faster and was even nearly throwing him off balance as he tried to keep up with her. A wide smirk appearing on the Saiyan's face as she used that chance throw a feint to his face before throwing a true hard punch directly into Heihachi's stomach!

"Oof..!" Heihachi let out as he doubled over and dropped down to one knee while he clutched at his stomach. The sheer power he felt in that blow hurt far more than anything he'd every experienced before, this woman, whoever she is was very powerful, and if he wasn't careful here then she could kill him without any effort.

Still though, despite her flimsy fighting style, this woman was proving to be a worthy opponent to test himself against as her raw power alone makes Heihachi's blood boil with excitement of the thrill of the battle. As it should be for anyone of the Mishima bloodline, as they live for battle and almost nothing else. And this certainly brought a very satisfied grin on Heihachi Mishima's face.

"Interesting…." The elder Mishima muttered as Gula closed in on her opponent, looking down on him with that never leaving death glare full of anger. She grabs him by the top of his head as the Saiyan woman lifts him up to the point where Heihachi is no longer on his feet and proceeds to land punch after punch on the old man, not letting up in the slightest.

But despite all this relentless punishment, and some blood dripping, Heihachi never dropped his grin as the blows kept coming at him. Just when Gula threw another punch, it was stopped dead in the man's hand. "W-what?!" Gula let out as she was now in shock over her punch being blocked by an opponent who should be completely out of it.

In this quick moment of having her guard dropped, Heihachi used this chance to use his free hand to swipe at the woman's arm holding his head to let him go. While keeping his grip on her thrown fist, the Mishima will lean his head way back only to throw it forward to deliver a strong headbutt directly on Gula's face with enough force to send her flying back again as he released her fist in the process.

"Interesting! You are truly strong! This has been the most worthy and exciting fight I have had in a long time!" Heihachi said with pure eagerness and excitement in his voice, standing up straight and looking down at Gula who was pushing herself up to one knee as she glares at him. "Now, come on. Show me more of your power." He said as he got back into his stance, waiting for the monkey tailed woman to get up and continue the fight.

"Bastard… no one, and I mean no one, has ever given me this much trouble…." Gula let out in a pained voice and clenched teeth, giving the hint of her offended. Not even when Freeza's mooks ganged up on her did the proud Low-Class Saiyan ever been given a hard fight that drove her into a corner like this, it was a first for her. And it was at the hands of an old, senile, and weaker human who was making a fool out of her!

Despite her handicap, Gula always took pride in her strength, but right now it was being shattered before her eyes by this man. It was the most nauseating thing she ever experienced. Having managed to struggle to her feet, the Saiyan clenched her fists tightly to the point of blood started coming out of her palms as she looked on at Heihachi with unrivaled anger, with thoughts of all the many ways she would kill him.

Just then, before either fighters made a move, a familiar bear jumped in front of Heihachi and roared at Gula, who was slightly taken aback by the sudden appearance of the creature from before as it charged at the woman in a mad rush.

"Kuma, stop!" Heiachi shouted at his pet bear, but strangely it didn't hear him and kept going at the woman. Who already snapped out of her surprise and gritted her teeth as she got into a stance and pulled one of her fists back behind her.

"Get out of the way, disgusting beast!" Gula yelled at she dodged to the side to avoid a slash/punch from the bear and threw her fist forward at it and hit into its head with a hard uppercut with all the force she could muster as it sent it flying straight up.

Kuma roared in a defeated sort of 'tone' as he went up high spinning until he was no longer in sight, followed by a twinkling star like effect as Heihachi looked up dumbfounded at what just happened. He slowly lowered his head to stare at Gula once again who was still in that same stance and was looking at the elder Mishima again.

Nothing was said as the fighters looked at each other in silence, until that silence was broken by the most unexpected thing of all time.

*grumble*

The sounds of a hungry stomach.

"Huh…?" Heihachi let out after hearing grumbling sounds, seeing the woman's face go red with embarrassment and soon notices her limbs are trembling. Followed by her dropping to her knees and clutching at her stomach, even breaking eye contact with Heihachi as she looked straight down at the ground.

"Damn it! Of all times to get hungry…." The Saiyan said, feeling utterly humiliated for having lost the will to fight thanks to her massive hunger. Had it not been for that, Gula would've kept going and killed this old bastard. But now she was left at his mercy for him to finish off if he wished, and she had no choice but to wait for that finishing blow.

Gula lowered her head in both shame and defeat, having reluctantly accepted her fate for possible death by a skilled warrior. Which in hindsight, is a much better way to go out than die hopelessly on an exploding planet while half dead. If Saiyans had a form of honor in defeat, this would have been very satisfying to lose to a worthy opponent, even if they happen to be weaker than them in some way.

The Saiyan woman waited and waited, but strangely, the old man made no moves to finish her off. Only laughter in the place of death, as the victor could not help the booming rumble escaping his chest.

"Hahahahahaha!" Heihachi let out as he laughed out loud as he fixed his stance to be standing up straight with his fists on his hips. With Gula slightly raising her head to look up at her opponent with a raised eyebrow in confusion, wondering why he isn't finishing her off.

"A very strong fighter, slightly stronger than me at that, toppled and unable to fight due to something as simple as hunger. How very amusing and interesting." The old man said while sporting an amused smirk, one which made Gula cringe and grit her teeth. Now the elder Mishima started to walk over towards the Saiyan, at this point she started to brace herself thinking he was now going to end her life after making light of the cause of her downfall.

Gula dropped her head and closed her eyes tightly, hearing Heihachi's foot steps come closer to her with each step. Once the foot steps stopped, she opened her eyes to see the man's bare feet. He was standing over her, and now it was only a matter of time before her life was over. But only that, it didn't come at all. What was he up to?

"Despite this weakness, it was still a good fight. I have respect for the strong." Heihachi said with pride in his voice, surprising Gula who looked up at the older man with a surprised look. Seeing this on her face, the elder Mishima merely let out an amused scoff and then lowered a hand to the Saiyan woman. "I thank you for giving me the chance to test out my improved skills, now stand."

The defeated Saiyan looked back and forth between Heihachi's face and his hand in confusion, unsure of what she should do. But she would slowly accept the winner's hand as he hoists her up to her feet. "Why would you spare me? I tried to kill you." Gula asked very bluntly as the man chuckled again.

"Only because I provoked you into fighting me, I have no reason to take your life since I saved it in the first place." Heihachi answered so matter of fact, causing Gula to raise an eyebrow as the man started to turn around and walk towards the Dojo. At this point, Kuma was falling down as his growls can be heard by the two warriors, but neither paid any mind to it as the bear landed head first before falling onto the side.

"Now, let us eat and regain our strength. Kuma! Fetch us plenty of fish!" The elder Mishima said as he went inside the dojo as the bear slowly got back up and growled in a reluctant but affirmative tone and went into the forest to go and do what his master ordered him to do.

All the while, Gula remained standing in place where she was, still feeling very confused about the whole situation completely. On how she survived Planet Vegeta's destruction, how she got on this planet, and why the warrior she was fighting spared her life. It was all so much for her to take in in the span of possibly a few hours or days. She looked on between the old man entering the dojo and the bear who was still within the Saiyan's view before he finally vanished from it.

It was at this point that the young women finally snapped out of her trace, shaking her head slowly a bit before she started to follow Heihachi inside, deciding to just take what is happening at face value and be grateful that she was still alive and escaped the jaws of death. "Oh screw it…" She would say as she went inside.

And if anything, she was definitely looking forward to eating some food.


40 Minutes later…

It was an agonizing wait for Gula, but after some time passed, the wait was completely worth it. The food was ready and she was digging in, eating everything that was edible and kept going and going to satisfy her hunger as much as she could.

All while a dumbfounded Heihachi and Kuma sat in front of her watching the madness in shock at how much the woman was eating, having seen her eat about 10 big bowls of rice, 15 roasted big fish, and at least 5 baskets worth of fruit and counting. They hardly ate 1/3 of their own meals while Gula was wolfing everything down she can grab down, and still wanting more.

After eating 4 more bowls, 5 more fish and 2 more baskets, the Saiyan burped loudly in satisfaction at the meal she just had, even going so far as to tap her stomach triumphantly a few times. Heihachi had hoped that would finally fill her up and save some food for him to eat before continuing his training. But then when Gula turned to look at him to say something, to his horror she said then said: "You got any more food?"

At that, both Heihachi and Kuma reacted to what she said differently. For the former he spit out the food that was currently in his mouth and looked upon Gula with complete outrage, while the latter coughed a few times and growled in a way that sounded like him going "WHAAAAAAAT?!" while his jaw was agape.

"You're still hungry?! You ate more than half of the food we have here, woman!" Heihachi shouted at Gula in complete anger and then growled through his teeth, followed by him slamming his fist onto the table, cause it and everything on it to bounce.

This caused the Saiyan to look at the old man all unamused as she leaned back and put a foot on top of the table, not caring about manners or her behavior to others. "So, that's a no, then?" Gula asked, but got no answer as Heihachi kept glaring at her, which already told her the answer. "Eh, fine. That will do for now."

"Hmph!" Heihachi let out as he continued his own meal in peace along with Kuma, there was complete silence between everyone during this time. It wasn't until Heihachi was almost finished with his meal that the ice was finally broken.

"So, what happened to you and how did you get here?" He asked in a no-nonsense way, which Gula noticed immediately. She opened an eye open and looked in his general direction, thinking for a short while on whether to tell a half truth or a full-on lie. She did just meet this guy after all, and the first thing they did was get into a big fight. How can she tell a complete stranger she doesn't trust?

With nothing to lose, Gula merely shrugged her shoulders and looked away before she finally answered, with a half-truth. "Beats me, I was fighting a group of people who tried to kill me, beat the hell out of most of them, the rest ran off, I fainted, and next thing I know I was here. I'm just as confused as you are over how I'm both here and still alive. By all means, I should be dead right now."

Hearing that, Heihachi raised an eyebrow, the thought of this woman being targeted for whatever reason spoke volume of her. "Why would people try to kill you?" He bluntly asked Gula, who merely just redirected her sight on him.

"I don't know, I was just minding my own business and then I was ambushed. They didn't give me any chance to find out." Gula said, which was a flat out lie. She knew why Freeza's men attacked her, but there was no way someone from a planet that most likely hasn't even have proper space travel can understand.

Heihachi grumbled in response, slightly disappointed with the answer he was given while he continued his meal. He took a sip of his tea, as he opened an eye and got another look at the woman's monkey tail. Now that they have a moment, now seemed like a good chance to ask about it.

"So, you mind I ask how is it that you got a monkey tail? And while I'm at it, how is it that you're so abnormally strong?"

That was a question that made Gula react quite hastily, she quickly turned her head to look at him with expression that in a way basically said 'what did you say?!'. This was something the Saiyan had to think deeply on, she had to tell the old man something regarding her origin. After a few seconds of thinking, Gula let out a sigh and answered.

"I'm a descendent of an ancient warrior tribe that was long forgotten from history, I'm what is known as a Saiyan. I guarantee you won't find any information on us. My people slowly died out over the years as we faded into nonexistent obscurity. There are so few of us left now, I wouldn't be surprised if I was the last Saiyan right now."

Hearing this made Heihachi's eyes widen in surprise, he was definitely interested in hearing more from the Saiyan woman. "And as for your tail and strength?" He continued to press on, on those topics since Gula didn't answer on them yet.

"My people weren't all about keeping knowledge on our tribe, but from what I do know is that we are possibly descendants of the Monkey King. We inherited some of his strength, as well as his tail."

She answered as she turned away from the old man, twitching her unseen eyebrow in irritation at having to make up something so absurd. A Monkey King? Surely there was no such thing ever. Gula can only hope this person was dumb enough to believe such tale, if not then she didn't know what else she could say.

"You're a descendent of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King?"

Heihachi said which caused Gula to turn back towards him, unable to believe what she just heard. Not only did he acknowledge the existence of a Monkey King, but also said a name for him. That alone told her there did exist such a thing on this planet's history some time long ago. It was the perfect cover story she can use now to explain herself.

"Yeah, I am. Surprising, isn't it? But like I said, we're a dying people that history doesn't acknowledge right now. As if we were the biggest mistake to Sun Wukong's legend. So there is no chance in hell we'll be significant anymore to this world." Gula stated as she decided to lean back and lay down, sighing deeply as she now though of what she should do. As she was stranded on this planet with no idea what there is out there, her options were currently very limited.

"Hmm…. Maybe you could be." Heihachi said with a smirk and a chuckle, which immediately got her attention as she sat back up and saw that look on his face. It told her he was plotting something, but what was it? From the look of his expression, which looked rather sinister, she didn't think she'd like what he has in store for her.

"What are you talking about?"

The Elder Mishima chuckled again as he finished his food and his tea, setting the bowl down as he looked at the Saiyan square in the eyes with that smirk still on his face. "You're remarkably strong, stronger than me, in fact. However, you're fighting style is complete garbage, just throw blows hoping they would land. You can only rely on your brute strength and speed in a fight."

Gula started to glare at the old man again as she clenched a fist, while she did admit that he was right about how she fought, it was still frustrating to be called out on it and by someone who defeated her. "What's your point, then?" She asked, sounding just as frustrated, which causes Heihachi to laugh.

"Calm yourself, miss. That's what I'm getting to." He said while repositioning himself so one arm was resting on the table while he pressed his hand on top of one of his knees as he kept that smirk on his face. "I'd like to train you in my Mishima Style Karate, help you utilize your superb strength and speed more properly in a fight." Heihachi finished, his smirk widening after stating his proposal for the Saiyan woman.

Hearing this offer made Gula's eyes widen and her jaw slightly agape. Learn a proper fighting style to be more efficient in a fight? That is too good of an offer to pass up on, but she can't help but think there was a catch to this, as that smirk was still on the old man's face. "If I do accept this offer, what must I give you in return?"

Seeing that the Saiyan knew there would be a catch made Heihachi laugh again at how sharp she was. "Nothing to complicated, I just want you to spar with me in between training sessions and help me get stronger." Gula raised an eyebrow at such a simple requirement, something the elder Mishima noticed and continued. "I got sloppy months ago and lost to someone I despise, whom also took everything from me. I'm training to sharpen my skills again to take back what is mine."

Now it was Gula's turn to smirk in amusement, already understanding what it is that this man wants. As she somehow has the same feelings even though they might be impossible to achieve whatsoever. "So, you want revenge on this someone then, is that it?"

"Damn right I do!" Heihachi slammed his fist down on the table again, denting it someone which helped emphasis his point. Gula raised an eyebrow, really amused and impressed by his desire for vengeance. With the chance to get stronger and craftier herself and helping someone get revenge, it was killing two birds with one stone. It truly was too good of a deal to pass up.

"Alright, old man. You got yourself a deal. I'll help you get stronger so long as you teach me how to fight better." Gula said to accept the offer, but it seems that the way she said it got under the man's skin. And she knew why.

"Don't you dare call me an old man, woman." He said which caused the Saiyan to laugh.

"Well don't YOU call me woman, I don't even know your name. What am I supposed to call you?" Her smirk widens a bit, but her words made Heihachi stop in his tracks, as she did bring up a very valid point. Neither of them ever bothered to introduce themselves to each other at all.

Seeing her point, the elder Mishima calmed himself and straightens himself up as he calmly replies to Gula. "Yes, that is true. Let us start this partnership properly then." He held out his hand to the Saiyan woman, which she looked at briefly before returning her stare back at the man's face. "I am Heihachi. Heihachi Mishima."

"Hmph..." She let out before reaching out and taking in Heihachi's hand into her own, giving him a strong but not too strong grip as she accepts the handshake with a smirk. "I, am Gula." She said as both warriors' smirk at each other, knowing that the next few months of constant training with each other will certainly be very worthwhile to both of them in the long run as they help each other to get stronger, together.

So long as they don't run out of food before the training ends, that is.


End of chapter, I hope I did that fight scene well and if you couldn't tell the narration for this was not centered on any character here aside from that first part as it constantly jumped between Heihachi and Gula. As this was tricky, I'm sure you can imagine how the next more serious fights will be for me to write down. The only part that was fully planned from the start was how it ended with Kuma being sent flying for comedy. Now onto the (long) replies to two unnamed guest reviews.

Guest who apologized: First off, I must apologize to you myself, I accidently deleted your second review since I tried to merge it with your first so I'll just put it here.

"Also I entirely agree that it the history of dragon ball isn't the only history that needs to be protected in the time nest and I apologize for my blasphemy again in my previous review. But dude so far this story going good and awesomely well. It will obviously take a while but I hope to see another awesome chapter of this story"

I'm pretty sure we're all familiar about Goku's badass Ultra Instinct by now, and I'm honestly not interested in that 4D movie. I'm not a fan of Broly since he's overrated as hell and is just a crappy character with an uninspired motivation, like, why must they keep hyping him up and giving him new forms to keep him alive? Like, wasn't it enough giving him Super Saiyan 3? No, they also gave him SSJ4 and his own God form as well. It's getting ridiculous. Anyway, I'm really glad that you are enjoying this story, it means a lot to me. I might be only at 4 chapters so far but I've worked really hard and put so much thought into this and how to progress with it while asking my partner for some advice and suggestions to make it work better, and I hope that you and everyone else who enjoys this will continue to stick with me as this goes on.

Guest talking about Gula being OP: Gula is weaker than Raditz. Goku is a pure blood Saiyan himself and he was 2/3rds weaker than his brother when they fought and if it weren't for Kami's training he wouldn't have been able to match Piccolo Jr. Raditz was speculated to have a power level of between 900 to 1200, Goku had 330 at first which boasted to at least 410 or so when he took his training weights off. Besides, I don't think you see where I'm going with this. Plus, my partner has a few things to say himself after he saw your review so I'll let him take over for this part:

- Not all Hybrids have the "RAGE POWER" like Gohan did, look at literally every hybrid that isn't Gohan.

- The lack of Ki ability is to intentionally nerf the son and mom so they DON'T just wipe the floor with Tekken/SF people.

- Saiyans came in all sorts of power levels. While weak compared to Nappa and Vegeta, there's nothing saying in canon that Raditz's time in Freeza's army hadn't made him stronger than almost any Saiyan other than the King.

- Bardock and Goku aside, there's never been any indication that the other lower class Saiyans were capable of becoming as massively powerful as those two. It's entirely possible that the lower class Saiyans were just that, lower class and generally worthless Saiyans who had to rely on the moon to have any real power.

- Gula is not a "special Saiyan", meaning she's not a "lower class with power to rival an elite" or a "destined Super Saiyan in making" or so on. She's a low class Saiyan who is nowhere near the strongest levels and who can't even fly or shoot energy.

And there you have it, thanks partner. Like he said, not every Hybrid is like Gohan. People seriously need to stop assuming that Gohan is the base for every Earthling/Saiyan hybrid. Yes, Trunks and Goten could become Super Saiyan young, but they never showed any potential to be stronger than their parents, have gotten their asses kicked by Android 18, and were of no use in combat against any threat except through fusion but only barely. Gohan was special, yes, but every hybrid is not going to be special. Gula and Heihachi's son is going to be another example of that. Only thing that would make him special is that he will have Mishima blood.

Also, yes, I'm fully aware of the new upcoming Broly movie for Super. I was completely hyped until they confirmed Broly, making me lose some of my hype. I'll still see the movie, but I'm not looking forward to seeing Broly be made canon to the Dragon Ball story officially. My only wish is that they reinvent his character, that's all I wish from that movie and it will help me enjoy it more. Also that version of Broly was included in Xenoverse 2, joy. At least the inclusion of Gogeta in both the movie and the game with Super Saiyan Blue helped raise that hype back up.

Anyway, please review if able, constructive criticism both kind and harsh, but not rude, is always appreciated. ^^
