Chapter 10 The World Champion

"Ladies and gentleman!" Started the announcer. "We have now reached the final match of the world tournament. The winner of this match will recieve the grand prize of one million zeni, as the well as the prestigious title of world martial arts champion!" The crowd began to roar in anticipation as the final two fighters made their way into the arena. "We have a special treat for you all today." Continued the announcer as the fighters made their way to their corners. "The fighters are brothers! Thats right people, 12 year old Kakarot and 18 year old Raditz will battle it out to see which one of them is the best. Perhaps it will even en the sibling rivalry hahaha...hah...Anyway, fighters...Begin!"

The two saiyans darted towards each other and set upon each other. Kakarot started the exchange with a punch towards Raditz's head, Raditz ducked and sent an uppercut towards Kakarots jaw. Kakarot nimbly hopped back and sent a kick into Raditz's back. The kick only made the saiyan stumble and he returned with a flurry of punches at Kakarot. Kakarot blocked each of the punches and started to return some of his own. The boys found themselves deadlocked as neither one could land a hit on the other. One of Kakarots fists struck Raditz's and both were sent stumbling back from the shockwave it produced. "Kamehameha!" Shouted Kakarot as he sent the wave at his brother. "Double Sunday" Raditz shouted responding with his own wave which met Kakarots head on. Kakarot had still been warming up so he was caught completely off guard when Raditz decided to pour power into his attack. Raditz's beam quickly overtook Kakarots and sent both attacks smashing into his brother and launching him flat onto his back. "Alright then," thought Kakarot as he wiped blood from his mouth "warmups over."

Kakarot launched back at Raditz with a flurry of attacks which to his surprise, Raditz managed to block. "Damn!" He thought to himself. "I shouldn't have let that attack catch me off guard like that. Now i'm using what should have been my reserves." Raditz was going all out as well and found himself struggling to keep up with the attacks. The two continued to throw punches so furiously that they were subconsciously rising off the ground and into the air. "Amazing!" Came the announcer as his gaze followed the fighters up into the air. "Both fighters are beginning to take flight!" The saiyans ignored the announcer as both were completely focussed on their fight. Both fighters quicky disengaged before flying back at each other. Kakarot dissapeared as Raditz'z fist passed through an afterimage. Kakarot reappeared behind his brother and landed a punch on the back of his head. Raditz turned and countered before Kakarot could press his advantage. Kakarot dissapeared again leaving an afterimage only for Raditz to turn around immediatly. "Your too predictable brother!" He boasted before sending a punch through another afterimage. Raditz had just a moment to be confused before Kakarot came from under him and sent a knee into his jaw. Raditz recovered quickly and sent a punch through Kakarots defences and catching him off guard. The punch struck Kakarot in the cheek and stumbled the saiyan as Raditz sent more punches into his brother. "Oh no. Kakarot!" Screamed Bulma from the crowd as she watched the fight unfold above her.

Kakarot regained his senses and began to block the punches again before a swift kick to his brothers stomach bought him an opening. Kakarot sent a left and then a right into his brothers head before sendinng kicks to Raditz's head aas well. He darted above to finish off his brother with an axe handle which passed harmlessly through an afterimage. Raditz appeared to Kakarots side sending a punch through Kakarots own after image. Kakarot sent an elbow into another of Raditz's afterimages before the real saiyan appeared above him and sent him hurtling down to the ground with an axe handle. Kakarot created a crater as he smashed into the ground but quickly composed himself. Raditz attempted to strike from above but his fist smashed through the ring instead. Kakarot lunged back with a kck into his brothers ribs sending him flailing onto the other side of the ring. Raditz picked himself back up and launched back at Kakarot with both hands. Kakarot caught both hands in midair leaving him in the awkard position of trying to hold them back.

Kakarot began to push his brothers hands back towards him when Raditz opened his palms and sent two balls of purple ki into Kakarots face. The blast hadn't hurt much but had distracted him enough for Raditz to escape his grasp and head butt his brother with all his might onto the ground. Kakarot climbed out of the hole on the ground just as he had before, albeit slower. Raditz wasted no time in lunging back at his brother who prepared to go on the defensive again. In his haste, Raditz hadn't paid enough attention to his own defence and swiftly found himself being knocked around by his intended victim. Kakarot sent a knee into his brothers chest before sending a series of punches into Raditz' face. Raditz continued to be beaten until he fianlly caught both his brothers hands and swung his tail up into his jaw. The hit was only a weak one but it gave Raditz enough time to send a powerful roundhouse into Kakarots chest and sending him sprawling backwards onto the stage. "Kakarot is down!" Shouted the announcer as everyone in the crowd, especially Bulma, stared at the warrior. Raditz dropped to a knee, panting as his brother rose once more, damaged but not done. Kakarot took a look behind his brother to see the sky getting dark. "Hey Raditz." Said Kakarot as he panted. "It's getting dark, we had better not transform if the moon comes out."

"What you saying?" Asked his brother as he began to steady his breathing.

"One final push to end it."

"Your on." Smirked Raditz as he dropped into a fighting stance once more.

Both saiyans leppt at each other for the final time with each forgoing their defence in place of non stop attacks. Both were swinging wildly at each other and landing hits on the other at the same time they took them. Kakarot sent a roundhouse into his brother who was sent flailing backwards. Raditz quickly recovered and as he skidded across the arena on his feet he launched three ki blasts at his brother. Kakarot crossed his arms in defence of an attack that never came as the blasts landed short, kicking up a smoke screen and dust into Kakarots eyes. As Kakarot tried to focus, Raditz came darting through the smoke and sent a punch with all his power into Kakarot who slid across to the edge of the ring before slowly slipping off. "Kakarot has left the ring! The new world champion is Raditz!" Shouted the announcer as the crowd cheered wildly for the victor. "No!" Said Bulma to master Roshi who had decided to join her. "How can that be? I thought Kakarot was stronger?"

"He was." Replied Roshi. "But that blast near the start was a lucky one and it brought him down to Raditz's level."

Raditz made his way over to his brother and gave him a helping hand onto the stage. "Well done brother." Said Raditz in between waving to his new fans. "You fought well." "Don't worry." Replied Kakarot as he gave a friendly wave as well. "Next tournament you're going down." It had taken forever to get the boys healed and the medical crew had to use every bit of their knowledge to put the saiyans back together, but eventually both of the fighters were healed and, thanks to their saiyan cells, were stronger than ever. The saiyans made their way off of the stage and headed to the nearest restaurant to spend Raditz's new prize money. Bulma, Roshi, Krillin and Oolong all joined the saiyans as they finished off all the food the restaurant had available. "Wow, you guys must be hungry." Said Bulma as she eat the scraps of food that they had left. "Yep." Kakarot said with a burp. "So master Roshi, are we going back to training now?"

"No there would be no point to that." He replied in between mouthfulls. "You boys have both surpassed my teachings. It's time for you both to explore the world and find a new challenge."

"Really? But where?"

"I suppose you could both see master Korin."

"Who's master Korin?"

"Korin is a master of martial arts. He also possesses the sacred water, it is said that if you drink it, you become the strongest fighter on Earth."

"Bit late for that." Chipped in Raditz as he swallowed more and more mouthfulls of food.

"Not if you boys go the long way, from now on no flying."

"Awww but that'll take forever." Replied Kakarot as he finished another plate of food. "And it won't make us that much stronger."

"Well if you like, I can build you guys a gravity room to train in." Said Bulma as she finished her dinner.

"That would be great!" Said Kakarot as he finally finished eating.

"Sure, come over any time you want." She replied flirtatiously and making Kakarot blush once more.

Raditz and Kakarot left their hotel for the last time as they watched the sun rise over the clowds in a wonderful orange light. "Well little brother." Said Raditz as he stretched his neck. "Guess we had better go find something to fight." They allowed themselves to bathe in the scene before setting off for a new adventure.
