Chapter 12:
The Final Match
Neji, Tenten, Lee, and Gohan are in their next match against three Large-Body Heartless, two Mummies, two Zombies, and four Shadows. Lee uses his Taijutsu to eliminate two Shadows and the Zombies. Then, he slammed by a Large-Body and is sent to the other side of the arena. Tenten twirls her scroll round, and sends weapons to eliminate the Mummies, and the remaining Shadows. Suddenly out of nowhere, she's punched by a giant hand and is sent sliding towards Lee. Gohan goes to help them up. Then they look to see how Neji is doing, and is shocked to see him smashed by all three of the Large-Bodies "Body Slam".
"NEJI!!!" Tenten screams.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Neji yells out in pain.
Lee quickly dashes over and gets Neji out of there. He lays him down, and Neji starts coughing up blood.
"Neji, are you okay?" Tenten asks.
"I think some of my ribs are broken," Neji moans.
"Don't worry Neji, I will finish them off," Lee says.
"No, Lee. I'll do it. I have a move that can take all three of them out," Gohan says walking towards the center of the arena. The Heartless start stomping towards him.
"Kamehame…" he cups his hands behind him and a blue sphere of energy starts to form.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" he trusts his hands out in front of him and the sphere turns into a powerful energy blast that eliminates the Large-Bodies in an instant.
"Wow, what incredible power," Lee says in amazement.
Tenten and Lee carry Neji off the arena floor and put him on a patch of grass. Everyone runs to their side to check on Neji.
"Man, that was some major beating you took Neji," Naruto says.
"He can't continue the tournament in his condition," Tenten says. "I'll have to stay and heal his wounds,"
"Then, I too will stay by Neji's side till he is better," Lee says.
"Well, I'm sorry, but I want to continue fighting, guys," Gohan says.
"That's fine, if you want, you can continue with Naruto's Team," Tenten suggests.
"That's fine with us. Come on Gohan, let's kick some butt!" Naruto shouts.
Naruto's Team walks up to the center of the arena; they then see cell with a man and a boy their age waiting.
"I hear the other team's going to forfeit the match. To bad; it would have been an interesting battle," Cell says.
"Yeah, well we're here and that's all that matters; believe it!" Naruto says.
"It makes no difference to me. You're all going to die anyway," Cell says; then he hovers into the air and announces, "Now, the final match can commence; since Team Neji won't continue! Team Naruto will be facing the ruthless "Team Mist"! Let the battle begin!"
Final Match:
Team Naruto
Vs.
Team Mist
"Humph, child's play. Let's go, Haku!" Zabuza says.
"Time to show off Squad 7's teamwork!" Naruto says.
They split up. Sasuke and Sakura are going to take on Haku, while Naruto and Gohan take on Zabuza. Haku quickly does a few hand signs, and shouts, "Crystal-Ice Mirrors!!" and a dome of mirrors surround them. Haku vanishes into one mirror and his reflection is in every other mirror as well.
"Time to die," he says; then senbon needles come flying from every direction. Sasuke and Sakura block the needles by spinning their Keyblades. They couldn't all of them; because a few struck them in the legs and arms. They grunt in pain and fall to their knees.
Zabuza is fighting off Shadow Clones of Naruto. Gohan shoots an energy blast towards Zabuza; but he grabs a clone and tosses it into the blast countering it. Zabuza runs up and kicks Gohan towards the real Naruto. They collide, and slide towards the edge of the arena. He walks up to them; only to be greeted by a quick energy blast from Gohan. Zabuza dodges the blast, then a Naruto Clone kicks him in the face. Gohan quickly gets behind Zabuza and kicks him into the air. Both Gohan and Naruto leap into the air and they slam their fists into Zabuza's chest; sending him falling towards the arena floor. He lands with a 'crash' and is lying in a small crater.
Haku senses his partner is in trouble. Sasuke throws his Keyblade at the Mirror in front of him; and to Haku's surprise, it shatters.
"What!? That's impossible; how could you break my mirror?" Haku asks.
"The weapon we use is no ordinary weapon. It's the Keyblade; and it has the power to do anything!" Sasuke says while grabbing Sakura and exiting the dome. Haku emerges from the shattered mirror; and is sent flying by a powerful punch from Sasuke in the face. Haku collides with a boulder outside the arena.
Zabuza and Naruto's blades are clashing with each other; sparks flying from the striking metal blades. Zabuza slices horizontally; but Naruto jumps over the blade and lands behind him. Then, Gohan suddenly comes up and kicks Zabuza in the gut and Naruto kicks him under his feet and trips him.
"Ugh; you little brats are going to get it!" Zabuza says.
He gets up and does a few hand-signs. "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!!!!"
Water materializes out of no where, and forms the body of a large dragon.
"I'll handle this," Gohan says.
The Water Dragon charges towards Naruto and Gohan. Gohan steps up and ups his hands behind him.
"Kamahama…HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"
He thrusts his hands outward and a blue powerful energy blast fires demolishes the Dragon.
""What, no! Impossible!" Zabuza says. Then he quickly turns around and a Naruto clone tosses the real Naruto.
"Shadow-Clone Super Move:
Naruto Cannon!!!!"
Naruto collides with Zabuza, and slams right into his solar-plex. They both are sailing across the arena; then ram into a boulder.
"How…how can it be? I've been beaten be snot-nosed kids!" Zabuza grunts in pain.
Naruto gets up, and dose a victory pose. "Yeah! That's the power of Squad 7!!"
Cell slowly levitates down to the arena floor. "Excellent, you've survived the match. That makes you the winner of this tournament… However; there is one more little match you have to survive," He snaps his fingers, and darkness starts to form into a three story tall giant ape with a tail.
"RRRRRRROOOOAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!!!!"
"If you win this match, you go to the next tournament that will commence in a months time," a dark portal appears behind him and he enters. The Giant Ape Heartless beats its chest and roars loudly.
"How the hell are we going to beat that thing? It's huge!!!" Naruto shouts.
The Heartless brings it giant hands down and smashes the arena floor to pieces. The genin and Gohan got out of the way just in time to avoid the giant hands making them into pancakes. Gohan takes to the sky and fires energy blasts. The blasts don't seem to affect the Heartless; the Heartless just tries to catch Gohan with its giant hands. Sakura flings her Keyblade; and it smacks the Heartless up side its head. The Heartless looks down; growls at Sakura and tries to stomp her into the ground. Sakura trips and the Heartless lifts its foot to crush her. Sasuke gets there in time to counter.
"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!!!"
The Heartless roars in pain and pulls its now burnt foot away. Its foot is so hot the Ape Heartless is hopping on one foot. Gohan takes this chance to attack and gets behind the Heartless.
"KamehameHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
The energy blast pushes the Heartless forward and it falls flat on its face.
"Dynamic Entry!!!!" Lee kicks the Heartless in between the eyes. The Heartless roars in pain and tries to get up. Then 20 explosive kunai are implanted into the Heartless's hands; they explode and make the Heartless lose its balance and fall again. The Heartless roars in annoyance.
"Time for the final blow!" Naruto shouts running towards the Heartless with his Keyblade ready. Before Naruto could get close, the Heartless opens its mouth, and an energy blast fires towards Naruto. Naruto panics because he can't get out of the way in time; but Goku suddenly appears and moves him out of the way.
"Whew, thanks Goku," Naruto says sweating up a storm.
"No problem," Goku says putting Naruto down.
The Heartless rises on its feet and unleashes a mighty roar. The Heartless is now going on a rampage; stomping everywhere crushing boulders, smashing its fists into the ground making craters, and blasting everything in sight.
"RRRRRRROOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!"
The genin, Gohan, and Goku are catching their breath from dodging every move the Heartless threw at them.
"This monkey is nuts! How are we going to defeat that thing?" Naruto shouts.
"Maybe Goku and Gohan can take it out," Urahara pops up out of nowhere.
"Really? How can they do that?" Sakura asks.
"If they combine their Kamehameha Wave, they might be able to over power it," Urahara says.
"Yeah, it's worth a shot. Come on, Gohan!" Goku and Gohan soar over to the Heartless. They shoot energy blasts at it to get the Heartless's attention. The Heartless feels the blasts and turns around and growls.
"Come on you big loser! You're too weak to even touch us!" Gohan shouts.
"Good Gohan, get it mad enough to make it attack us," Goku says.
The Heartless growls at the comment Gohan said, and roars. Then an energy blast shot from its open jaws towards them.
"Ok, let's do it," Goku says.
Goku: "Ka…"
Gohan: "Me…"
Both: "Ha…me…HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"
The blasts collide, and appear to be equally matched. But Goku and Gohan put more power into their attack, and their energy blast easily overpowered the Heartless's blast. The blast smashes into the Heartless; the Heartless is then engulfed by a huge explosion. Out of the smoke, emerged a heart that rises into the sky and vanishes.

"So, you three are going to stay here?" Sakura asks Neji.
"Yes, we will stay here and train for the next tournament. Be sure to train as well," Neji says.
"You can count on that! There's no way Cell's destroying this world," Naruto says.
"You're to come back within a month's time. You better be stronger than you are now, because the next tournament is going to be even tougher. So be prepared," Urahara says.
"Don't worry, once we find this Jiraiya person everything will be under control, believe it!" Naruto says giving a thumbs up. Zabuza and Haku walk up to them.
"How about, me and Haku help you out with your training?" Zabuza asks.
"I can help in increasing your speed, and Zabuza can help in your stamina," Haku says.
"I don't see why not. The more training the better," Urahara says.
"Well, we better get going. We have people to find," Sakura says.
"Hold on, Naruto I have a task for you," Neji says.
"What is it?"
"If you find Hinata, be sure to keep her safe, "
"Sure thing, Neji. You can count on me,"
****
Cell is a distance away from the arena. "So, the Heartless was a failure, and those ninja were failures as well. Those Keyblade brats are stronger than I thought. Oh well, it doesn't matter, at the next tournament I'll crush them all, and this planet along with them,"
He then senses someone behind him. "Who invited you, Aizen? Back off, this is my show,"
"Fine, fight to your heart's content, fool."
