Hi everyone, here it finally is. The last chapter of part one, finally! Anyways, I know it's been almost a month since I've updated but, I've been working on another story that I'll be uploading after this one. So let's get this chapter going!
I don't own Dbz, just the story plot.
End of it all?
The day was finally here.
Goku stood in front of a rather big steel door, with determination written all over. Chichi stood at his side with a confident smile on her face. Both took a quick glance at each other as the door opened up. As they stepped out, hearing the crowds cheering thrillingly for the tournament to get started. About a good distance away, Xioren was sitting on a throne beside a woman with very light curly brown hair and emerald green eyes. Xilon sat on the opposite side smiling down at the couple with confidence. His plans were finally ready for action.
" Hello! Today is the last day of the tournament! As you can see, we have a male contestant and a female contestant left. Since we have been doing this tournament in pairs, these two are going to pair up. They will compete in different arenas though and each will have a certain amount of opponents. The male will have.." The announcer says and is interrupted by surprisingly, Xilon. " Hold on! I think these two should work together to defeat whatever amount they originally were going to have, and just combined them without the separation. Don't all of you agree?" Xilon asks the cheering crowds, as Xioren looks at his younger brother angrily. Xioren stood up and grabbed his brother by the shoulder, turning him around until they were face to face.
" What do you think you're doing? I never asked for your opinion." Xioren said, glaring at his brother furiously.
Xilon smirked saying " The crowd seems to like my idea. Even Glossana agrees with me."
Xioren heard the thousands of people chanting " Let them work together! Let them work together! Let them work together!" He glances over his shoulder at Glossana who also nods her head approving. Xioren let go of his brother's shoulder and told the announcer " Fine, let them fight together."
" Are you sur.." the announcer began saying as Xioren cuts him off shouting " Yes! Now get on with it already!"
" Okay, it seems like the two finalists are going to compete together in the same arena." the announcer said as the crowd roared with excitement.
Goku looked at his wife and asked " What? I never expected Xilon to stand up like that to Xioren." Chichi looked up at him and said " Let's just say, part one of the plan is complete."
" Part one of the plan? What plan?" Goku asked confused as Chichi smiled and said " Don't worry about it. I'll explain everything when we get out of here with the others."
Goku looked away from his wife thinking 'With the others?'
" So as I was about to say a while ago, the two contestants will be fighting against eighty people in total. The first ten will be easy to fight against but the difficulty will rise as each group of ten fall. So, let this tournament begin!" the announcer said as the visible shield vanished from the outside of the arena.
Soon the first ten opponents began walking towards the arena. The group had both males and females. Chichi quickly tugged on Goku's gi. She had a smile on her face as she said " Don't think for a minute that I'll stand aside and watch you fight the whole time. I'm definitely competing."
Goku's eyes grew as he asked " Are you serious?"
Chichi folded her arms against her chest with one eyebrow raised and asked " I'm very serious or what, you don't think I'm capable enough to fight?"
" No I just…didn't expect you'd want to fight, that's all," Goku said quickly, trying to stay on Chichi's good side.
" Well, it's been a while and besides, we've never really fought as a team before. So I think today should be our first day working as a team." Chichi said, as they walked towards the arena.
The couple were right in front of the first group of ten opponents. Both Goku and Chichi decided to beat their first opponents separately and work together for the other groups.
" Okay begin!" the announcer said as the couple charged right at their opponents.
Moments later Goku and Chichi defeated their first group of opponents with ease. Both looked up at Xioren, seeing his angry expression.
" Wow these two sure know how to compete together! Let's see if they can keep this up!" the announcer said as the next team moved towards the arena.
Goku and Chichi got into position, ready to defeat all in their path together.
About an hour later:
" They just might win this tournament! They only have one more group to win it all!" the announcer said as the crowds began chanting " Win! Win! Win!"
Chichi kneeled on the ground, breathing heavily. She had defeated twenty-five opponents, all ranging on different levels of power. And Goku had just finished defeating his forty-fifth opponent. He was a little tired but still had energy to keep fighting, unlike Chichi. Goku ran over to Chichi's side. He helped her up and asked " I can handle the last ten on my own. Why don't you just sit out for a while."
" No way, I'm at least going to beat up four of those guys before giving up." She replied as she tried walking but felt a sharp pain on her side. She flinched at the pain and looked up at Xilon, his eyes looking down at his right hand. Chichi's eyes grew bigger as she walked towards Goku, who was waiting for the last opponents.
" Goku listen to me. Don't move a muscle." Chichi said to him as both stayed still.
Xilon saw this and pressed a button that was hidden on the throne he was sitting on. All of suddenly, Goku and Chichi both fell into a trapped door, that lead to a underground passageway out of the castle. It was phase two of Xilon's plan.
" Hey, you okay?" Goku asked his wife, holding his head with his left hand.
" Yeah…," Chichi says, as she shakily stands up.
Goku slowly got up on his own two feet and looked around. He was in the middle of a dark blue underground passage by the looks of it. The walls looked extremely old, ancient almost. He then looked up and saw that he was about a foot away from the ceiling. Goku easily touched the wall above him, with almost no effort at all. He looked over at his wife. Her eyes also scanning her surroundings. Soon her eyes met his as Goku walks over to her.
" So, what are we doin' down here?" Goku asks as Chichi looks up at him responding " Xilon told me that there is one escape route leading outside the tournament grounds. So we can both escape without anybody noticing."
Goku nods his head, and follows Chichi.
A few minutes past by, as they arrived to the suppose door that was going to lead them out. Chichi suddenly froze in place. Goku stopped himself from bumping into to her. He took a step forward and saw Chichi's shocked expression. He looked up ahead and to his surprise, there wasn't a door in sight.
" I can't believe it…the…the door has to be here!" Chichi exclaimed, running her fingers through her loose hair.
" You mean, this isn't the way out?" Goku asked as Chichi furiously shook her head no.
Goku watched Chichi slowly fall to the ground, her hands covered her pale face. He walked over to her and kneeled down on one knee beside her. He then put one of his arms around her small frail body. Chichi immediately turned, and wrapped her arms around Goku. Goku's eyes widened as Chichi began crying.
" It's over now, they'll find us, separate us and probably punish Xilon for helping us. Nothing's going right." She says as she whispers crying " Oh Gohan."
"Shh…It's alright, I'm sure we'll be outta here in no time. That is, if we can find a way out." Goku says smiling, lifting her chin up and wiping her tears away. Chichi closes her eyes and smiles warmly, saying " You sure know how to lift my hopes up, don't you?"
Goku grins at her and says laughing " Well, I try ehehehe!"
" Oh you big goof, come on we have to check the other directions just in case." Chichi says as Goku helps her up.
They both began walking around, checking every possible place for a second escape route. Chichi felt her whole body shiver as they walked towards a windy route. Luckily, they spotted a door at the end of the hall. Goku easily was pushing through the windy hall, unlike Chichi. He saw that she was having a hard time breaking through and offered to carry her. Chichi embarrassedly said no, but Goku picked her up anyways. They arrived at the door as Chichi kept screaming "Put me down, Goku!" Goku lowered his arms and Chichi jumped out of them, blush appeared on her cheeks. Goku just stared at her puzzlingly, scratching his head. He shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the door. Surprisingly, the door wouldn't budge. Chichi told him to just push the door down. He did as his wife said and fell face forward onto the ground. Chichi walked around Goku as her eyes widened. They were back at the tournament grounds. Goku sat up and realized the same also. Xioren caught them and quickly stood up. He narrowed his eyes, taking the microphone away from the announcer.
" So you two were trying to escape together weren't you?" He asked, his voice full of hatred.
Goku got up from the ground and said " Chi, I know Xilon won't survive if I kill Xioren but, I honestly want him gone." " I know, but you have to calm down. You can't let him reel you in. He just wants to see chaos happen."
" But why would he want that to happen here? Doesn't he care about the people around him?" Goku asked as Chichi replied " I've already told you, Xioren loves to fight. I'm sure he doesn't care if these people live."
" What kind of monster his he?" Goku asked, as he tighten his fist. " I don't know. He's changed so much since I last saw him." Chichi said as she lowered Goku's fist. " Let's just set our problems aside for now and think about all of these people and Xilon first."
" Okay, stay close to me Chichi." Goku said in a low voice, as he took her hand into his. She looked at him worryingly, thinking as they started to walk towards Xioren 'I hope Goku doesn't do something he'll regret.'.
" The tournament is over, everyone leave the stands." Xioren said over the microphone, as people began leaving. He then jumped down to the ground and walked towards Goku and Chichi.
Just as he was approaching them, he quickly grabbed Chichi's hand and pulled her towards him. Goku's eyes narrowed even more than before at Xioren.
" Sorry about taking your wife away from your side, but, I think she'd be better off with me." Xioren said as Chichi tried pulling her hand away from his tight grip.
" And you, why'd you abandon me for this low life Saiyan? He didn't even know the meaning of love and you still went after him. I on the other hand, knew exactly what love was but you never considered me to be in your life. Sadly, you had married this clueless fool before I had a chance to ask for your hand in marriage." Xioren said, looking at Goku with anger in his eyes.
Goku, not changing his facial expression said " I don't know anything about you or what relationship you and Chichi had in the past but, she's married to me. And yes, I agree that I was still a bit clueless when I married her, but as each month past I began having these strange feelings towards her. I was unaware that I was slowly falling for her. I finally fully realized my feelings for her after we had our son."
" Of course Saiyan, but she's still staying with me, since you've already had her for a few years." Xioren said, catching Goku off guard as he let go of Chichi's hand and pushed Goku into the arena.
" That was a cheap shot Xioren." Xilon said under his breath, as he continued to watch nervously.
" Why you…!" Goku began saying, as he was just about to get up and beat the living daylights out of Xioren when he heard Chichi say " Okay, you win…I'll…I'll be the queen of your kingdom."
Goku eyes widened as he said " What?! Chichi no!"
Chichi walked over to him and kneeled down on the ground in front of him. She moved closely to his face as her hair fell to the sides of their faces.
" I'm sorry but I can't let you attack Xioren. Xilon hasn't done anything wrong other than his few mistakes. Just please don't make this anymore difficult. Okay?" she said quietly as she saw Goku's expression change into a hurt one.
" Okay." He quietly says as she leans closer to his face. Their lips met as Chichi pulls away saying " I'm expecting you to rescue me in a non violent way."
A small smile appears on Goku's face as she says " Remember, I love you." A small grin appears on Goku's face as he says " I love you too, hun."
Slowly, she smiles and stands up holding one of his hands. Goku didn't want her to leave but slowly her hand slipped from his hand. Chichi then walks towards Xioren, with an angry expression written all over her face. Soon two guards arrived and lead Goku out of the tournament grounds. He looks back and sees Chichi smiling at him as she disappears into a dark hall. Goku looks forward thinking 'Don't worry Chi, I'll find a way to get you back. I promise.'
