Chi-Chi looked around the stadium to see if she could find Goten. She expected him to come after his last match. Figuring that he was with the other kids and Goku, she did not press the matter. This was the only day that he could spend time with his father. Speaking of Goku, she wanted to do something special just the two of them that he would like.

The first match of the adult division began with Krillin against a man named Pintar. Chi-Chi could hear some of the audience around her make jokes at the size difference. She could not believe that some people still thought that something like that could matter so much in a match. The only time she heard about that happening was when Goku was a child facing Jackie Chun in the last seconds of the match.

"Go, Daddy!" Marron cheered.

"That guy is your dad?" Pin questioned.

"Yeah! And he's gonna beat that big guy up and win the tournament."

"18 has a better chance to win than him," Bulma whispered.

"True," Chi-Chi whispered back.

"I'll learn how to fly before that happens," Oolong said out loud. The two mothers instantly hit him for saying it loud enough for Marron to here.

"Miss Erasa and Mr. Yamcha who do you want to win?" Marron asked.

"Gohan definitely," Erasa answered without hesitation. "I mean the Great Sayiaman."

Bulma started to elbow Chi-Chi and gave her a sly grin. Chi-Chi rolled her eyes and smiled back at her. If Gohan would ask her, Chi-Chi had no problem making her apart of the family. She already comes around quite often.

"Well, I say it's a toss-up between Gohan, Goku, or Vegeta. Those three have been training all these years."

"It wouldn't be Goku if he wasn't off training, even in the other world," Roshi added.

The group was so busy talking that they did not notice that Krillin had just won his match.

"That wasn't so bad," Krillin said.

"It seems like it won't get interesting until we fight each other," Goku figured.

"Good luck out there Piccolo," Gohan cheered.

Piccolo did not respond. Instead, he watched as his opponent started to move. Something about his opponent felt familiar to him. The Kami in him spoke out once they were in the middle of the ring.

Goku and the others were shocked when Piccolo forfeited the match. The look on the man's face got them on edge. Piccolo would never give up a fight unless he knew that he couldn't win even then that was a rare option for him.

"What's wrong Piccolo?" Goku asked.

"The difference between our power is too great."

"He must be something then.

"You gotta be kidding me," Krillin groaned. "I gotta fight him next."

Videl, who was ignoring their conversation, started to walk out with her own opponent towards the right.

"Good luck Videl!" Gohan cheered.

Videl did not respond which caused Gohan to sigh. The moment Videl came into view for the audience everyone booed. Since she was used to this, Videl did not let this bother her. This did bother the Z Fighters and their friends.

"How can they do that before the match even starts?" Goku wondered.

"It's because she's Mr. Satan's daughter. They always give her a rough time," Gohan answered.

"Sins of the father much," Krillin said.


Even though she and Videl were not on good terms, Erasa could not stand hearing the audience berate her like this. Videl is a great fighter and everyone here knew that. They just could not let go of what her father did years ago.

"Go Videl! You can do it!" she yelled.

The others join in even though they never met Videl personally. Bulma cheered extra loud since Videl seemed to be the only other woman in the bracket besides 18. In her words, "ladies stick together".

A few feet away from them, Sharpener cheered his hardest. Everyone around him could tell how much of a fan he was to Videl. This disgusted most of them. No one could see the appeal about the daughter of a liar.

"The match between Videl and Spopovich will now start!" the announcer yelled.

Videl went on the offensive immediately. Even though her father has beaten him a few years ago, Videl did not want to give him any room to breathe. He must have gotten stronger and wanted payback and defeating her would be an easy way.

Spopovich managed to block some of her attacks while getting his own hits in. Overall it seemed like Videl has the fight in the bag. The nervousness Gohan had earlier about this fight was even gone.

Videl kicked Spopovich back a few feet away. Everyone thought that was the end of it until he got up grinning. Goku frowned. Something was not right. It seemed like there was something more was going on with Spopovich.

"I'm gonna wish you stayed down!" Videl yelled.

She dashed towards and gave him a roundhouse kick which he caught easily. Spopovich whispered something in her ear before he slammed her on the ground repeatedly. The only thing Videl could do at this point was to cover her head and use her other leg to try kicking him away from her.

After another slam to the ground, Spopovich stomped on Videl's back. Videl screamed out in pain. Spopovich grabbed her pigtails and pulled them back as he put more pressure on her back. Through her screams, Videl tried to pull him off her.

"She can't win this," Goku said.

"Videl!" Hercule yelled as he ran passed Goku and the others. He could not believe what was happening to his daughter. She did not deserve to go through this.

Spopovich threw Videl up in the air and kneed her in the stomach. Videl threw up blood and seemed to be barely conscious a few teeth seemed to be missing as well. Spopovich took his time and started to punch Videl in the face. Being the stubborn person she is, Videl tried to fight back by frailing her arms in an attempt to hit him.

"Videl you have to give up sweetie!"

"You aren't worth Babidi's time," Spopovich told Videl.

Gohan could not take it anymore. Videl might hate him but he could never wish bad onto her. Out of anger, he powered up into Super Saiyan form. If it was not for Goku and Krillin he would have gone after Spopovich. Yamu glanced at Gohan.

"Stop playing around," Yamu yelled. "We don't have time for this."

Spopovich nodded before kicking Videl over to Hercule. If it was not for her twitching Hercule would have thought that she died.

"With Videl out of the ring, Spopovich is the winner!"

No one cheered as everyone was horrified at what they just witness. Erasa and Sharpner both left their seats and ran towards the medical area where they were sure Videl will be sent to.

"Something isn't right about that guy," Goku said.

"Shouldn't someone go get her one of those Senzu beans?" 18 asked. "She's not gonna make it without one."

"Does anyone have one?" Goku asked.

"Nah, we came here for fun. Didn't think it was needed," Krillin answered.

"I'll go get some then," Goku said as he got ready to Instant Transmission.

"I'm gonna go check on Videl!" Gohan yelled as he ran off.

"Let me see if I can get them to stall for a moment," Krillin said.

18, Piccolo, and Vegeta noticed that those three were not the only ones who left. Shin and his friend had left as well. Piccolo knew the reason why but was unable to say. It was a good thing that neither 18 or Vegeta were not nosey people.

Once Gohan made it to the medical area, he was met with Erasa and Sharpner. Sharpner was on one side of the bed with Videl's hand in his while Hercule was on the other side. Erasa seemed to be on the verge of tears. The sight of Videl being hooked up to a machine.

"He broke her spine," Erasa told him. "She might not recover from it."

"Don't worry my dad is gonna bring some medicine that will heal her up."

"Really?" Hercule asked.

"Yes, sir. And don't worry after my next match I'll take care of Spopovich."

"Gohan!"

Gohan turned around to see his dad holding a bag full of Senzu Beans. Taking Erasa with him, he walked over to Videl. He needed her to help place the bean in Videl's mouth.

"If she eats one of this she will feel better," he explained. "I need you to put this in her mouth."

"Alright."

Erasa gently opened Videl's mouth and slid the bean in. She then helped her chew and swallow it. A moment after, Videl managed to open her eyes and sat up. Hercule and the others could not believe it.

"Where am I?"

"You're at the medical bay, sweetie."

"I can't believe it. A bean really did fix you up," Sharpner said.

"Thank you both for saving my daughter," Hercule said.

"I'm just glad she's alright."

"It's no problem."

"Your match is up next isn't?" Hercule asked Gohan. "You should get going."

"Right."

Gohan and Goku left the room with Erasa leaving a little while later. With them gone, Shin entered the room.

"What are you-"

"Someone has been trying to possess her," he explained. "I've been waiting for the right time to help her."

"What do you mean someone been trying to possess my daughter?!"

"Are you like a priest or something?"

"I'm more than that," he replied.

"So that's why I've been hearing voices?" Videl questioned.

"That is correct."

Shin raised his hand and a faint glow appeared around Videl before disappearing.

"I won't be able to do this again for some time, but this should help. I need to be on my way."

Before anyone could say thank you, Shin left. He had to be there when Spopovich and Yamu make their move. The safety of the universe counted on it.


*Rewatching the Videl and Spopovich fight is hard to do. This is the only fight in the series that is hard for me to watch because of how brutal Videl gets beaten. I had to figure out a way to write it out to make it worst.

I'm working on an outline to rewrite the Buu saga because honestly, it's my least favorite saga. The saga needs more structure anyway.

I'm done with school for the semester and almost done with work till next fall. Hopefully, I can get back on a schedule for writing.
