Falling for a Saiyan Part 21, Tournament Part 3

I charged at Goten, and he charged at me. This match would decide who goes on to the final match, and who goes home. If I had any chances of facing Trunks in the finals, I had to take out Goten first. I shot several punches at Goten, and he blocked every single one of them.
"C'mon, Melissa! Is that the best you can do?!"
I smirked at Goten ,who was laughing at me.
"You want more? I'll give it to you."
I swung my leg at his face, but he used his Saiyan speed to dodge it. I narrowed his eyes at him, and he smirked.
"Nice try, but I'm a lot faster than you are!"
"We'll just see about that, Goten!"
He launched himself at me, but smirked as I took off into the air. He followed after me, and our fight continued.

Goku's POV:
As Goten and Melissa continued their fight in the air, I was in awe at the energy I felt coming from those two. Judging from the silence, everyone else was just as amazed as I was. Krillin's eyes widened as Goten and Melissa increased their speed to the point where they were no longer visible.
"Man, check out their speed! It's incredible!"
Yamcha nodded in agreement and smiled.
"I know, and their energies are equally matched. It'll be tough to tell who ends up winning."
Gohan smiled as I looked at him.
"Something on your mind, Gohan?"
"Dad, to be honest, I'm not sure who to root for. I know Goten's my brother and all, but Melissa's become just as much a part of my life as he has."
"Torn between the two, huh?"
"Uh-huh."
Videl smiled at him and put a hand on his shoulder.
"No matter who goes on to the final match, Gohan, you should be proud of them for getting this far."
"You're right."
Vegeta smirked as we all continued to watch the fight.
"I know that look, Vegeta. You know who's gonna win, don't you?"
"What if I do, Kakarot?"
Piccolo raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms.
"If you know, Vegeta, enlighten us. What's your opinion on the outcome of this match?"
"Watch and see."
"All right, Goten! Let's finish this!"
"Bring it on!"
I smiled to see Melissa and Goten with smiles on their own faces. It was clearly obvious to everyone else that they were definitely having a blast out there.

Goten's POV:
Melissa and I attacked with everything we had, and the crowd grew silent as a sound similar to thunder was heard with every punch that met its target.
Melissa smirked at me, and I grew nervous as I felt her power level grow.
"Sorry Goten, but I'll have to end this match!"
I swung at her face with a clenched fist, but she disappeared. My eyes widened as I tried to pinpoint her energy signal.
"Peek-a-boo!"
Before I could react, she appeared in front of me, kicking me in the stomach. The force was so great, I fell from the air and landed outside of the ring. I slowly stood up as Trunks approached with a Senzu Bean.
"Thanks, Trunks."
"No problem."
Melissa landed on the ring, and Toshi held up his mic.
"Well, there you have it,folks! Goten has landed out of the ring, making Melissa the winner! Who will face her in the finals, her brother Mason or her husband Trunks?! The second match will begin shortly!"
Melissa approached me and smiled as she held out a hand.
"Good job, Goten. You did good out there today."
I shook her hand and handed her a Senzu Bean. She ate it, and smiled at Trunks as he headed for the ring.

Vegeta's POV:
As Trunks headed to the ring, I looked toward the door to the private room to see Melissa walking in.
"Hey, guys. Just came to check on Bella real quick."
Krillin handed Bella to her, and she smiled at the sight of her mother.
"Hey, sweetie. Did you miss Mommy?"
Bella giggled as her mother launched her into the air and caught her. Her little arms wiggled as she laughed. Goku smiled and approached.
"We've been keeping her occupied. Usually, she just sits on Vegeta's lap."
"Good to know you guys are here. I hope it's not too much of a bother for you."
Chi-Chi smiled and shook her head.
"It's no trouble at all, sweetie. With all you've done for us, it's the least we can do."
"All right, folks! Let's get the next match underway! It's Trunks vs. Mason for the right to face Melissa in the final match! Good luck, fighters! Begin!"

Trunks' POV:
Mason and I began our battle, and I wanted to give it all I had. I really wanted to face Melissa in the final match, but I had to take down her brother before that could happen. Mason kicked me in the face, sending me back a few feet.
"Stay focused, Trunks! Can't fight Melissa when you're daydreaming!"
"Hmph."
I punched at him several times, and he blocked them. I knew he'd be tough to beat, so I had to act fast if I wanted to defeat him. I also reminded myself that Goku was the one that trained him, so I had to be prepared for anything. We decided to take out battle to the air, and I smirked at how well I do when I fight in the air. There were no boundaries up here, and that excited me.
"Here I come, Mason!"
"Bring it on, Trunks!"
Our fight continued as our energy levels increased. I kicked at Mason and he ended being thrown back a bit.
"Nice one."
"Thanks."
"Incredible, folks! Trunks and Mason are still going at it! How much longer can they last?!"
I smirked at how pleased Toshi sounded. I could tell he was happy that there was action at this tournament, just as promised. Mason and I then decided to continue our fight on the ground. I could tell Mason was growing tired, and it wasn't a surprise since I got my strength from my father.
"Sorry, Mason, but it looks like I'll be the one facing your sister in the finals!"
With one final punch to the head, Mason fell out of the ring. Toshi looked him over as he stood up.
"There you have it! It looks like our reigning champ, Trunks, will face off against his wife, Melissa, for the crown!"

Goku's POV:
Trunks shook Mason's hand after their match ended. I was pleased at how well Mason did despite the fact he lost. Vegeta smirked and looked at me.
"Looks like Trunks and Melissa will face off in the finals after all, Kakarot."
"Looks like it. Man, I can't wait!"
Yamcha smiled as Melissa joined Trunks in the ring.
"There she goes, guys! She's entering the ring!"
Krillin smiled a big smile as he looked down on them.
"This is gonna be great! This is the match we've all been waiting for!"
"You said it, Krillin!"
I held Bella in my lap as Toshi entered the ring.
"Well Bella, looks like your mom and dad will be facing each other."
She looked up at me with a smile as Mason and Goten entered the room. I smiled at them as they sat beside me.
"Good job, guys. You did really well."
"Thanks, Dad."
"Yeah. Thanks, Goku."
Toshi held up his mic as Trunks and Melissa got into battle stances.
"Here we go, folks! It's Trunks vs. Melissa for the championship crown! It's clear that these two are great fighters, but only one will become the tournament champion! This match is guaranteed to be action-packed, so don't miss it!"
Toshi quickly jumped out of the ring.
"Okay, fighters! Begin!"
