So I got to explain something about this chapter. So since Videl is in disguise, whenever another person is talking about her, they assume that she's a guy. But when we see it through her eyes, she refers to herself as a girl. It's kind of confusing, but I did my best. I hope you enjoy it, and as always please comment.
When walking into the main building, Gohan wasn't surprised to see Buu or that mysterious red fighter. The other fighters looked tough, but it was nothing they couldn't handle. One fighter had a big H on his chest, another was a boxer, and the last looked to be from a small African village.
As all the fighters looked over each other, the announcer and a few officials wheeled in a bracket board, and a box. "Ok now this is going to be like any other tournament. Each fighter will draw a number out of the box, and the number that corresponds with the bracket will be you position in the tournament. I'll call your names in alphabetical order." The announcer said. "Now, first up is Buu."
Buu bounced up to the box, and pulled out a piece of paper and said, "Three!"
"So Buu will be in the second bracket; next up is Gohan."
"I got number 7." Gohan said showing the piece of paper to the officials.
"That puts you in the last match; next is Goku."
"Number six" Goku said showing the piece of paper.
"Match number three for you. Now next up is Mr. Hurricane"
"It's The Hurricane." The fighter with the H on his chest corrected, "Number one; that's a sign right there."
"First match for you. And next is Levi."
The boxer stepped forward and pull out a number, "Four."
"Number four, so that puts you in the match against Buu. Next, is umm the Scarlet Fighter."
"Scarlet Fighter; what kind of a name is that?" The Hurricane said laughing.
"It's better than the Hurricane." The Scarlet Fighter said walking by him with her arms crossed. She then walked over and picked a number, and was lucky no one could see the surprise in her eyes when she said, "Eight"
"So that puts you in the final match against Gohan. Vegeta you're next."
Vegeta said nothing, and just showed a piece of paper that had the number two on it to the officials.
"So it will be Vegeta versus the Hurricane in the first match. Being that all the other fighters have a spot, that means Mr. Zamba will be fighting Goku in the third match."
"It's just Zamba." The fighter from the African village said.
"Oh sorry about that" the announcer said looking door at his clip board. "Now I better go announce the matches to the audience. So Vegeta and Hurricane, you're on deck."
"So Vegeta is my first victim." The Hurricane said throwing a bunch of punches to warm up.
"Good luck Vegeta." Goku said.
"I don't need luck." Vegeta said with his eyes closed and his arms folded.
The announcer took center stage, "Now the moment you've all be waiting for; the matches have been finalized and the fighters are ready to go. In our first match we have Vegeta versus the Hurricane. Our second match is Buu versus Levi. Our Third match is Zamba versus Goku. And our final match is Gohan versus the Scarlet Fighter. Now without anymore delays, let's get our first match on the way."
The crowed began to erupt as Vegeta and the Hurricane walked into the ring. Up in the crowd, the Saiyans' friends and family reacted to the line up.
"That was close; I almost thought Goku was going to have to fight Gohan in the first round." Chi Chi said in relief.
"Come on Vegeta, don't embarrass him to much!" Bulma said yelling as loud as she could.
"Now let the match begin!" The announcer said.
"Prepare to feel the wrath of the Hurricane." The fighter yelled as he ran full speed at Vegeta.
Vegeta did nothing, and just stood there with his arms folded and eyes shut. At the last possible second, Vegeta fully extended his arm with his fist clenched. This caused the Hurricane to run full force into his fist, knocking himself out cold.
"Wow, I don't know how to call that. Was it a self knock out or a one hit knock out?" the announcer said.
"I don't care what you call it, just call the match." Vegeta snapped at him.
"Vegeta wins"
The crowd erupted in roars. "That's my man!" Bulma screamed.
Vegeta walked back into the building, and was congratulated by Goku. "Good job Vegeta, but you didn't have to take him out that quick."
"Now on to the next match" The announcer said as Buu and Levi walked out on stage. "Let the match begin!"
About an hour later, Levi finally collapse from exhaustion. Buu hadn't moved the entire match, and Levi had been punching him in the gut over and over.
"Eight…Nine…Ten. That's it Buu is the winner." The announcer said.
"Finally!" Chi Chi said half asleep.
"Well how about we move along with the matches. Next up is Goku versus Zamba." The announcer said. "Goku is a former champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament, and Zamba is a first time competitor that has shown great promise." The announcer said as the fighters entered the ring.
"Come on Goku, show no mercy!" Chi Chi yelled as she punched the guy in front of her.
"It is an honor to fight a former champion." Zamba said bowing to Goku.
"It is an honor to fight you too." Goku said also bowing.
"What good sportsmanship, how about we give them a round of applause folks?" The announcer said as the stadium erupted in applause.
"Come on Goku, rip his eyes out." Chi Chi screamed.
"Uh Chi Chi, I think you should calm down a bit." Krillin said.
"Grr" Chi Chi said glaring at Krillin.
"Forget I said anything." Krillin said looking away nervously.
"Wimp" 18 said when her husband backed down.
"I can never win." Krillin said.
"Let the match begin!" The announcer yelled.
Zamba fought with a lot of heart in the match. Out of respect to Zamba, Goku didn't fly or use energy blasts. Goku had a couple of close call, but in the end Goku knocked Zamba out of the ring.
Goku reach over and helped Zamba off the ground. "Great job Zamba, you almost had me that last time."
"Yes but you were the superior warrior. It was an honor to be defeated by you." Zamba said pulling himself up with the help of Goku.
"I love to fight you again when you get some more training in."
"It would be a pleasure."
"So that means Goku will be moving on to the semi-finals; now on to our final match." The announcer said throwing his mic up into the air. "Now we got a good one for this last match, it's Gohan versus the Scarlet Fighter."
"Good luck son, and remember don't underestimate this fighter." Goku said look over at the Scarlet Fighter.
"I won't dad." Gohan said and then walked over to the entrance to the ring.
While walking the long walk to the ring, Gohan noticed something familiar about the way this fighter carried himself. Gohan couldn't put his finger on it but he felt like he knew this fighter.
"Gohan is the son of Goku and has shown just as much talent for fighting, if not more, than his father. And then we have the mysterious Scarlet Fighter. Not much is known about this fighter, but in the qualifier he scored very high. This final battle is shaping up to be an exciting one."
Up in the crowd, Piccolo became more alert at the announcement of the fight.
"Come on Gohan, knock his block off." Chi Chi said jumping up and down.
"Oh please, this guy will be no trouble for Gohan." Krillin said leaning back in his seat.
"I won't be so sure of that Krillin." Piccolo said,
"What do you mean?!" Chi Chi snapped at Piccolo.
"Focus on that fighter's energy." Piccol said.
After a few moments of trying, Krillin finally figured it out, "He has none; how is that possible."
"I don't know" Picccolo said.
"Excuse me, but what does that have to do with my son losing a fight?" Chi Chi said annoyed.
"Maybe nothing; but this fighter punched almost a 300 in the qualifier. The closest person to him was Mr. Satan who punched a 150. By not being able to sense his energy is a big disadvantage to Gohan, because he won't know if the fighter has used up his entire energy on an attack or not. He's fighting blind here."
"That won't affect him at all; he can take him." Chi Chi said, "Come on Gohan!"
Gohan was starring down the fighter and thought, 'I get this weird feeling like I know him or something, but from where?'
"You can feel the energy heating up down here; the energy between these two fighters is electric. Now let's not keep them waiting any longer, let the match begin."
Gohan and the fighter stood still for a few moments, and then Gohan decided to move. Gohan jumped forward to attack with lightning speed. Just as he was about to make contact, fighter ducked. 'What?' Gohan thought in amazement. Then with just as much speed, the fighter kicked Gohan to the other side of the ring. Gohan got up, and looked over to see that the fighter was still in the exact same spot. Gohan touched his right thigh, and felt the box's imprint.
"Come on that was terrible." A deep robotic voice came from the fighter, "You're defense is full of holes."
"Thanks for the help, but I already have plenty of mentors." Gohan said racing toward the fighter again.
As Gohan punched with intense speed, the fighter took to the sky and Gohan followed suit. The fighter phased in an out around Gohan. Gohan could tract his movements and began to get confused.
"Over here" The Scarlet Fighter said as she punched Gohan back down to the ring.
"Focus Gohan!" Goku yelled to his son.
"Well Kakarot, looks like your boy is losing his touch." Vegeta said smirking at the scene.
"He's just not focusing; I know he can do it if he focuses." Goku said.
Gohan got up breathing heavy, and then the fighter landed a few feet away. "It's the suit" Gohan said.
"What?" The fighter said not quite hearing him clearly.
"The suit, it's blocking you ki some how." Gohan said holing his right thigh.
"Very good, you always were a smart guy." The fighter said.
"How do you know that?"
The fighter was silent.
"Who are you?!" Gohan said lunging forward, but again the fighter dodged it.
Up in the crowd, Chi Chi was losing her mind. "Come Gohan, land a punch!"
"He can't track him, and the fighter seems to know all Gohan's moves." Krillin said.
'Who is this fighter?' Piccolo thought.
As Gohan tried to land another punch, the fighter dodged again. "You were a lot better before." The fighter said now taunting him.
"Who are you, and how do you know who I am?" Gohan said not attacking any more.
Again the fighter was silent.
"Real fighters aren't afraid to show their faces; you're just a coward."
Then the fighter decided it was enough, "Coward? I am not a coward. I'm not afraid to show my face, you just haven't asked."
Gohan was dumbstruck by this. "Uh…can you show me your face?" Gohan asked.
"You didn't say please." The fighter said now playing with him.
"Will you please show me your face?" Gohan said a little annoyed with this fighter.
"Ok"
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Scarlet fighter has agreed to take off his mask. Who could be under there?" The announcer said.
The whole crowed went silent as the fighter reached under the mask and began to pull it off. Slowly the mask revealed deep blue eyes, and raven black hair. Videl then threw the mask off to the side and waited for the realization to set in.
"Videl?" Gohan said softly.
"Videl?!" Chi Chi, Krillin, and Bulma all said in unison. 18 and Piccolo just starred in silence, but were just as shocked.
"Ladies and gentlemen the Scarlet Fighter is none other than Videl Satan; the daughter of our Champion, Mr. Hercule Satan. This is changing in to quite some fight; the son of a former champion and the daughter of our current champion, facing off against each other in the same ring. Let see what happens."
"Hello Gohan" Videl said in a harsh tone.
"Videl?" Gohan said just as shocked.
"I guess I can take off this cape and gloves now." Videl said throwing the items off the stage. "Shocked to see me aren't you?"
"Videl, I…" Gohan began but was cut off.
"How could you just leave me on my own you big jerk?!" Videl asked now going on the attack.
"I needed some time…" Gohan said dodging every move.
"You need some time?! You didn't even give me a chance to explain myself."
"You kissed another guy, what was there to explain?" Gohan said dodging, but not trying to attack.
"I didn't want too." Videl said just as intense, but she had stopped attacking.
"There was still a kiss Videl, and it hurt me." Gohan said standing still.
"I am sorry Gohan, but there is no way I can take it back." Videl said standing right in front of him.
"Videl I'm not sure how I feel anymore."
Videl was silent then walked right up to Gohan. "Gohan are you saying you don't love me anymore?"
Gohan was silent and didn't make eye contact with her.
"Gohan if that's what you're saying, throw me into that brick wall right now; break every bone in my body because if you're saying that you'll have no problem doing that. But I can still say after all this that I love you."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the punches and kicks have stopped and now it seems to be a war of words. I cannot hear the exact words they are saying, but something tells me that it happened outside the ring." The announcer said.
"Gohan" Videl said, "Do you still love me?"
Gohan looked at Videl straight in the eye, turned around, walked over to the side of the ring and jumped down voluntarily.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Gohan has jumped out of the ring. That makes Videl the winner."
Half the crowd began to cheer, but the other half was silent. Videl just starred at Gohan. "Gohan?"
"This is not the place to talk about this." Gohan said. "Let's go some place else."
Gohan then took to the sky, but slow enough for Videl to follow.
Videl then turned to the announcer and said, "I forfeit" Then Videl began to follow Gohan.
"Uh Videl has just forfeit, and that means Goku will have a spot in the finals." The announcer said.
"Aw that's no fun." Goku said disappointed.
Bet you didn't see that coming. I know Gohan fighting Videl was very predictable, but I don't care. So my next update might take a while. I decided to take a break from writing. One because I have finals, and two I was getting way to into my own story. So much in fact that when I thought about my crush, I was calling him Gohan. (I am not a creepy fan-girl, I was just thinking about my story too much.) It freaked me out too much so I will take a break for a bit. I swear I'll get back as soon as I can. I hope you can be patient, and please comment. If I get a lot of comments, I might consider writing the next update sooner.
