Man, I have worked my butt off all weekend on class work. Fortunately I took some time off to work on this story. I just realized, however that I'll have to work double time to get the rest of this story typed up. Here's the next chapter with, hopefully, an awesome fight scene.
Chapter Twenty-Five
Vee returns home and tells her mom about her small adventure that, believe it or not, lasted for 45 minutes.
Vee: …So I dove in the lake only to find that he wasn't there. Next thing I know, I'm coughing up water on a beach…not too far from here. And that's what happened.
Mom: I think Mr. Goku can take great care of himself. So next time you have the urge to rescue him, give it a second thought, okay.
Vee: Okay….Well it's about time for me to go get my sheath and sword from DeWayne's house. I'll be back in a little while. Then I can eat dinner and Goku will be coming over at six for a spar 'do over'.
Mom: Well I guess you won't go Berserk this time, right?
Vee: Oh, no of course not. I'm really confident this time. (hugs her) Please don't be worried, mom. I'll be fine.
Mom: (places her hand on her only daughter's head) I know, sweetie, I know.
I know you want to 'see' (read) the battle so I'll give a brief summary what happens between now and the spar. Vee goes to DeWayne's house to retrieve her sword and its new red and yellow sheath. She thanks DeWayne's father for his extreme kindness and DeWayne for his help. She leaves DeWayne's house and meets with her parents at home for a quick dinner.
Dad: So I hear that you and Goku are sparring again.
Vee: Yep, but this time I'm positive nothing will go wrong.
Mom: (leans over to whispers to Dad) She even gave me a hug and told me not to worry.
Dad: Ooooohhh. (nodding in understanding)
At Goku's house
Goku: (stuffing food in his face)
Chi Chi: (thinking; while dreamily staring at Goku) Yep. That's the Goku I married.
Goku: (stops mid-spaghetti string to look at Chi Chi; thinking) I can feel her staring at me.
Chi Chi: (blushes and quickly turns her attention to her plate when he makes eye contact with her)
Goku: (shrugs it off and continues to eat; eager to finish in time for the spar)
Chi Chi: (slowly returns her gaze toward her husband and chuckles at his usual eating behavior)
Goku: (slams his last bowl of food down on the table, startling Chi Chi) All done. (stands up and grabs all of his dishes to wash them)
Chi Chi: What are you in such a hurry for?
Goku: (half of his dishes already cleaned) Vee and I are going to try sparring again. This time without her going Berserk. I really want to see her true fighting side.
Chi Chi: Oh…Well do come home alive Goku.
Goku: (chuckles while putting away the dishes) It's not like she's gonna kill me.
Chi Chi: (gives him a blank stare and taps her foot)
Goku: (glances at her) Oh, yeah, that's right. She kinda already tried. (chuckles nervously)
Chi Chi: Just be careful, okay?
Goku: (embraces his worried wife) Don't worry, hun. I'll be fine.
Back at Vee's house
Vee: (in her room, changing into an outfit good enough for battle)
Mom: (hears knocking at the door) I'll get it. (opens the door) Hello Mr. Goku and…are you DeWayne?
DeWayne: (wearing very heavy, but warm clothing) The one and only.
Goku: Vee and I are sparring in the North Pole again. I came to pick her up. Is she ready?
Vee: (walks out of her room and toward the front door) Yep.
Dad: Why don't we go with you; you know to watch you and Vee in action?
Goku: Sounds like a plan. You'll need some warm coats though.
Vee: Is there anywhere else we can fight with a better climate so our 'audience' will be a little more comfortable?
Goku: (chin in hand) Hmm….I guess we could use the tournament ring. There's plenty of space for fighting and our 'audience' will have seats as well. How's that sound?
Vee: Perfect.
DeWayne: Aw. So what am I going to do with all this extra clothing? I'll just be wasting your time bringing it back to my house.
Mom: You can leave them here. If you forget to get them, I'm sure Vee will return them to you.
DeWayne: Thank you ma'am.
Mom: (chuckles) I don't think I'm old enough for 'ma'am' just yet.
Dad: (rolls his eyes)
DeWayne: (gives his extra layers of clothing to Vee's Mom)
Mom: (puts them in the house) Okay I'm ready to go.
All Five: (leave through Instant Transmission and appear in the middle of the tournament ring)
Mom, Dad, and DeWayne: (go up to the seats at the very top of the arena so they could get a good view when Goku and Vee take the battle to the air)
Goku and Vee: (take their stances in the ring)
Goku: Now remember, this isn't a real tournament fight, so there's no such thing as ring out, alright.
Vee: (powers up to Super Saiyan 4) Gotcha.
Goku: (takes liberty in making the first attack, coming at Vee with fist aimed at her face) Haaa!
Vee: (eyes widen, throws her arms up to block and teleports out of the way) Phew! Huh?
Goku: (changes direction, now coming at Vee with a kick, smirk on his face)
Vee: (frowns, focusing, and takes a fighting stance)
Goku: (kicks at Vee)
Vee: (dodges and counterattacks with a blow to the cheek)
Goku: (allows himself to be hit and is sent zooming toward the ground; his body makes a crater in a corner of the tournament ring)
Vee: (thinking) He should have been able to block that.
Goku: (gets up and chuckles) You're pretty strong. (rubs his cheek) I'll have to make sure I evade everything you dish out at me.
Vee: (rushes toward Goku, throwing ki blasts at him in the process)
Goku: (dodges the blasts and retaliates with some of his own)
Vee: (teleports behind Goku and aims to elbow him in his back)
Goku: (teleports out of the way appearing above her with a double fist slam toward her head)
Vee: (teleports completely out of sight)
Goku: (growls inwardly) Where'd she go?
Vee: (in the air, giggling)
Goku: Found you! Ka-me-ha-me
Vee: What's he doing?
Goku: Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Vee: No way! That's too powerful to deflect. (dodges the 10xKamehameha, only to notice that it's homing in on her; continues to flee and looks at Goku) I wonder how long he'll keep this up.
Goku: I've got you on the run, Vee. What do you plan on doing next?
Vee: (still flying in random directions) Just wait and see.
Goku: (chuckles while still controlling the Kamehameha wave)
Vee: (starts flying toward her opponent)
Goku: (thinking) I've tried that on Frieza before, but I've never had this happen to me.
Vee: (thinking) If I could just pull up at the last second…
Goku: (thinking) I just got an idea.
Vee: (gets close to Goku and readies herself for her quick upward lift)
Goku: (as soon as Vee starts heading upward, grabs her foot while letting the Kamehameha wave continue its course)
Vee: Oh no! What are you doing? Let go of me. We'll both get hit by that thing!
Goku: Not on my watch.
Everything takes a sudden stand still.
Vee: You don't have a watch.
Goku: (shrugs his shoulders) Figure of speech?
Vee: I guess.
Their surroundings return to normal play.
Goku: (keeps his hold on Vee until the wave is just close enough, then lets go of her and Instant Transmits from its crosshairs)
Mom: (screams in horror at the sight)
Dad: (puts his arm around Mom and comforts her)
DeWayne: (watches intently, but a few sweat drops appeared on his forehead)
Vee: (yelps when the wave makes contact with her, an explosion of great intensity makes itself known)
Goku: (in the air awaiting the results of his attack)
The dust clears revealing…
Vee: (scorch marks on her clothes, a few on her arms and face, turns toward Goku) You'll pay for that. You big meanie.
Goku: (tilts his head a little) I think I made her angry. (takes a fighting stance and focuses on Vee with a frown) Now to see what she's really made of.
Vee: (powers up while yelling and raises her arms; similar to a Spirit Bomb attack)
Goku: (frown becomes a face of interest) What's she doing?
Vee: (energy flows up her arms and out of her hands, becoming invisible once it reaches the air)
Goku: (concentrates on the upcoming attack)
Vee: (her energy gathers above Goku without him realizing it) Energy…Rain! (brings her arms down to her sides causing the gathered energy to fall upon Goku, forcing him down onto the ground and exploding)
The dust clears…
Goku: (standing in the affected area, still blocking, thinking) She's stronger than I thought.
Vee: (thinking) Nothing. Not even a scratch.
Goku: (relaxes, looks at Vee, then teleports in front of Vee and begins his assault)
Vee: (dodges every melee attack thrown at her with little trouble and concern on her face)
Goku: Not fighting back?
Vee: (frowns then begins an assault of her own)
Both: (throw attacks at each other, a blow for a blow, a dodge for a dodge)
Mom: I had no idea my little Veenie was this powerful.
Dad: She's not 'little' anymore that's for sure.
DeWayne: I had no idea she could be that close to Mr. Goku's power level. It's a good thing she's not evil.
Goku: (lands a punch in Vee's face while moving toward her, then makes a 180 degree turn and hits her in the back)
Vee: (grunts and quickly recovers, sending them both into another frenzy of punches and kicks)
Goku: I've got to hand it to you, Vee. You claim to not have that much experience with fighting, and yet you fight as if you were born to.
Vee: Well, I can't just allow you to beat me up now can I?
Goku: No…I guess you can't.
Both: (continue to attack, block, and dodge until Goku backs off a throws a rather large ki blast at his opponent)
Vee: (shoots off a similar blast)
The blasts meet and create a flashy explosion, sending both of the fighters back, blocking their faces.
Goku: (breathing heavily, arms hanging by his side)
Vee: (rapid breathing, arms still in fighting stance)
Dad: Any idea on who's winning?
Mom: No clue.
Vegeta: Kakarot's going to win.
DeWayne: (practically falls from his chair) When did you get here Mr. Vegeta?
Mom: He's been here since the beginning of this fight.
Dad: (nods) I sense a lot of anger within him as well.
Vegeta: (thinking) What's not to be upset about? That girl is practically stronger than me.
Mom: Who's Kakarot?
DeWayne: That's Mr. Goku's Saiyan name. The one he was born with.
Dad: Why do you say that Mr. Goku's going to win.
Vegeta: (chuckles) From what I remember, he's won almost every battle he's been in. Besides that, he's a little stronger and has way more experience. Knowing him, he's probably allowing Veenie to attack him so when he recovers from the battle, he'll be much stronger.
Goku: (cups his hands for another Kamehameha Wave)
Vee: (catches on quickly) No I'm not letting you do that again. (rushes in for an attack)
Goku: (thinking) Just as I thought. (continues his stance) Ka-me-ha-me…
Vee: (closes the gap between them and throws a punch)
Goku: (teleports behind Vee) Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa! (directly hits Vee)
Vee: (is sent flying into the seats of the arena, her body creating a crater)
Mom: My poor baby; I know she can't possibly handle so much brutality!
Dad: Don't worry I'm sure she's fine.
Vegeta: Hmph.
Vee: (laying in the crater, motionless)
Goku: (with a little sadness) I guess this fight is over. (approaches Vee)
Vegeta: (thinking) Kakarot you fool can't you tell she's faking?
DeWayne: That battle was a little too quick.
Goku: (lands next to Vee) Hey, are you alright?
Vee: (suddenly grabs him by his foot) Rrrrraaaaaa! (pulls him into the air at high speed and quickly shifts direction toward the ground, then slams Goku down with all her might)
Goku: (screams in pain)
Vee: (lands on a fixed part of the ring, breathing heavily and barely able to stand)
Goku: (grunts while trying desperately to get on his own feet) You tricked me.
Vee: (between breaths) I learned that from you. Remember when we played tag?
Goku: (manages to bring himself to a sitting position) I think we should call this a draw. I barely have enough energy left to continue and I can tell you're fighting to stay standing.
Vee: (plops down on the ground) Not anymore.
Both: (go into a fit of laughter)
Mom: Is it over?
Dad: I believe so.
DeWayne: Man, I don't think I'll ever get as strong as them.
Vegeta: You won't if you keep thinking that way. (leaves the arena)
Mom, Dad, and DeWayne: (leave their seats and approach the badly bruised and cut fighters)
The spar is finally over, but don't worry there'll be more battles soon. (Provided I get them typed and uploaded before summer break.) Well, what do you think of the battle scene? Was it cool? Did it suck? Please review and let me know. I really need input from readers. Until the next chapter, Roosha.
