Hey guys! I'm back with a new chapter for y'all! Sorry for the long wait, though! At least it wasn't as long as last time. XD
Hope you enjoy this chapter!
After that match, it was Rose's turn to fight a twelve-year-old guy. Rose was grinning widely. She knew she was completely outclassed by her Saiyan friends; she was happy she had enough luck to shine in the tournament for a little at least before being defeated by her stronger friends. Sure enough, the daughter of Yamcha didn't have much trouble defeating the older boy.
The next fight was Goten versus Pia. Unlike her sister, Pia was aware she was gonna be defeated by her older cousin. She couldn't match up against a Super Saiyan. However, that wouldn't mean fighting him wouldn't be fun. And Goten seemed to think that as well, because he grinned at her as they were walking towards the ring.
"This is gonna be fun!" he cheered.
Pia smiled. "Yeah, it will be!"
The announcer grinned even wider when seeing Goten. Things were starting to get fun now that the good fighters were left. And he was convinced Goku's son was gonna give quite the show. 'That girl was hanging around the kids of Goku and the others. I'm sure Pia will be super. And if Goten is as good as his father, then this will be an amazing fight!' "Fight!"
Goten immediately went offensive and launched himself to fight Pia. Pia was more focused on dodging; using whatever openings she could find to attack Goten whenever she had the opportunity to. After exchanging punches and kicks, Pia jumped back to gain more distance between them and attack him with energy blasts. Goten blocked them and then jumped forwards to attack her once again.
Pia was barely able to dodge the kick Goten threw at her, using her smaller body to roll on the ground before uppercutting him. Goten didn't expect that, so he was stunned for a few seconds which gave Pia a perfect chance to blast him. Goten took the blast head-on, but it didn't make much damage. Pia was just happy she'd actually managed to blast him.
Goten flew up to where his cousin was. Pia was able to dodge a lot of her cousin's attacks, but some of those still hit home and they fazed her. She was getting tired as well. So when Goten blasted an energy beam at her, she wasn't even able to react and suddenly she was out of bounds.
While the announcer exclaimed the winner was Goten with a huge smile on his face, Goten went to check on his cousin. "Are you okay?" he asked her.
Pia smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine. I knew I'd lose anyway."
"You were awesome there though," Goten told her.
"Thanks!"
The same people who were cheering for Trunks before now were cheering for Goten. As for the rest of the audience; they were still in denial, still trying to figure out how those very realistic tricks were being pulled off. Others still booed, but the cheering managed to overshadow it. Chi-Chi was smiling widely while Goku teased his sister about his son beating her. Gohan was grinning as well; clearly happy for his brother even though the outcome was pretty obvious. Chimaki hugged her little brother once he and Pia made their way back, and then she hugged Pia as well.
After the fight between cousins, it was time for their other cousin, Daikon, to fight a fourteen-year-old that was beaten easily. After that, it was time for both Cella and Chimaki to fight. That was alright with both girls though; they both loved to fight each other. While it was obvious that Chimaki was stronger than Cella, the full-blooded Saiyan was still a great fighter and managed to catch Chimaki off guard with her skill.
Chimaki and Cella grinned at each other before walking to the ring together. They were really close friends, and they loved to fight. Doing so in a ring with a whole lot of people watching just made it so more fun!
"And now, it's time for the first of our quarter-final matches! These two girls show some sensational fighting skills, and it'll be just amazing to see them fight each other! It's time for the twelve-year-old Chimaki and the fourteen-year-old Cella to show us just how it's done!" the announcer called out as the crowd roared in anticipation. 'I can tell this won't be like the other battles. Cella seems to be strong, and they seem to be friends. Goku's daughter might have to fight seriously now!'
"This is gonna be fun," Chimaki grinned.
Cella smirked. "Damn right!"
Once the roar died down there was a moment of silence.
Then the start signal sounded and mayhem broke out.
Her aura surging far beyond her own control, Chimaki charged straight for Cella, firing Ki blasts as she did in the hopes of keeping her opponent from avoiding the first assault. Her right arm drawn back, Chimaki slammed forward into her friend's defensive stance, only to bounce of her crossed arms. Chimaki swiped furiously at her opponent only to find all of her kicks blocked by knees or forearms and couldn't seem to connect with any punches or elbow strikes. Seeing a small opening by the right side of Cella's ribs, Chimaki dropped her guard and feinted with her right knee only to side punch her foe in the rubs, staggering them.
Seeing weakness, Chimaki snapped her left first to connect with the side of Cella's head, except she swung just in front of the spot she meant to. Bewildered, Chimaki felt her footing go from her and she slammed forwards onto her face and, more significantly, Cella's waiting knee, causing a cut to open above her left eye. Sliding off of Cella's knee, Chimaki fell to the arena floor, as she rolled at high speed to gain ground and push back up a Ki blast hit her back pushing her further sideways and into the ground.
'I'm in a bit of trouble. Better take to the skies,' Chimaki decided as she flipped forwards and darted straight up just as Cella rushed forwards to her attack her again. Looking down, Chimaki saw something she hadn't expected at all.
There was another Cella.
"I really hate copies!" Chimaki hissed loudly as she it dawned on her the whole time she was trying to beat down Cella she was simply being distracted.
"You got me," the injured Cella clone laughed as she merged back with the original Cella, phasing back out of the way of a hastily fired Masenko from Chimaki.
While the clone had received a significant amount of damage; as the power is halved when copies are made, so are the extent of the injuries to the original when the copy merges back. Cella had a couple of bruises on her forearms and her ribs clearly bothered her a little but she was otherwise unharmed.
Knowing she had to go on the offensive again, Chimaki descended feet first into the ascending form of Cella, only to pass straight through an afterimage. Chimaki tried to halter herself but her momentum was too great as she managed to slow and begin to pivot to where she sensed Cella, she was met with her grinning face and a knee to the gut that took left her breathless, effectively stunning her for a moment. Cella flipped onto her back and used Chimaki's stationary body to her advantage, push-kicking off her face and righting herself. As Chimaki careered towards the ground Cella fired a stream of Ki blasts down after as she balanced her flight again.
Raising her arms above her head she put her palms together and dark blue Ki crackled between them. Charging for a couple of seconds, Cella then threw her arms down towards Chimaki's impact crater and thrust her palms and the orb of Ki that had formed downwards. Sending it straight towards her friend's Ki signature which had sparked back up disturbingly quickly.
"November Rain!" Cella yelled, proud of being able to showcase her signature attack which exploded as soon as it reached the grounding. A huge flash went off and blinded her for a moment, when her vision returned she saw she'd blown up a quarter of the arena floor and more importantly there was a retaliatory Kamehameha heading straight for her. Wheeling down and corkscrewing towards an undamaged section of arena floor out of the way, Cella was met with Chimaki's right leg which smashed her out of flight and into the ground.
Rising to her feet quickly, Cella dodged a punch to the face and got a look at Chimaki who, in her opinion, was looking terrifying at that moment. With a deep cut above one of her eyes and heavy bruising whether her clothing had been torn she looked like she'd come out of a sparring session with Vegeta. The concerning thing though was the look on her face. A contorted mixture of embarrassment at having been toyed with all match and the resulting anger from it. Her eyes were hard like Cella had heard happened at times with Goku and Gohan.
No sooner than Cella dodged the next punch, she was caught in the chest with a kick and forced back before she could even react. A Ki blast went off at her feet forcing her to jump and promptly be crunched back down by a two handed blow by Chimaki. Dazed but still with it, Cella rolled to avoid the kick that would have sent her out of the arena, pushing herself up with her right elbow and flight she sent out an area Ki wave to try and gain some time.
She thought it had worked but was dismayed to see Chimaki's silhouette move through the wave and towards her. A kick landed with the side Cella's thigh, buckling her stance and leaving her open to an elbow in the collarbone. The pain nauseated Cella and she stumbled which luckily caused her to dodge the kick that would surely have knocked her out. Knowing she had to counter attack, Cella focused and shot off a few jabs to Chimaki's face. She blocked them all but the sudden change in roles unsettled her. Seeing an opportunity, Cella tightened her defense and let Chimaki come at her.
Using her small agility advantage, Cella ducked around the first onslaught, catching Chimaki during more arcing kicks and chops. Which only further annoyed her and caused her to be sloppy, leaving more openings. Though nothing that Cella landed was noticeably hurting Chimaki anymore.
'I need to go harder. All I'm doing is annoying her,' Cella realized grimly as she hopped backwards to gain some ground.
Moving some Ki into her legs, Cella kicked out at Chimaki much more vigorously than before. The first two missed entirely, the third hit in Chimaki's ribs and made her wince. However, as Cella tried to press the attack, Chimaki figured out the pattern and blocked Cella's right leg with her arm, forcing it down. With Cella's momentum gone, Chimaki closed the distance and thrust her forearm sideways into Cella's stomach, and using the distraction grabbed the front of her outfit. With no way to break free, Cella tried to fly out of her grip but was got blood a blow to the jaw for her efforts.
Drawing her right arm back, Chimaki moved Ki to it and flung it forward into her friend's chest as she let go of her.
"It's over," Chimaki stated as Cella was thrown by the force of the blow out of bounds, digging a small trench into the grounds as before she came to a halt.
"The winner is Chimaki by ring out! Congratulations on making it to the semi-finals!" the announcer shouted. The crowd was screaming in elation; while there were still shocked people, people who were in denial and even booed, the excited fans' cheers overshowed them. Girls in particular were cheering at the two Saiyan girls over the fantastic show they had put. It was kind of inspiring.
Cella wearily got up on one knee and pushed herself up slowly, limping slightly and holding her side with her left arm she walked gingerly to her old friend who was also going to meet her.
"Hey, sorry I got so rough in there. I kinda saw red a bit. That was an awesome fight! You should be proud," Chimaki apologized with a sheepish smile, hoping she hadn't gone overboard.
"Hey, we're both fighters here and Saiyans. We're supposed to live for this stuff, so don't worry about it. Though, personally, I don't know what the appeal is. Congratulations and thanks for not just going Super Saiyan and annihilating me," Cella smiled back laughing when she heard some people in the crowd chant her name as she patted Chimaki on the back.
"I may have won, but looks like you won the heart of the crowd this round," Chimaki joked. "Let's go get healed up and see the others." Chimaki shook her head at her friend as Cella played up to the crowd even as she was grimacing through pain.
It was Cumber's turn next, and he had to fight a fifteen-year-old. The fight didn't even last five minutes. After that, it was Trunks versus Rose.
"I guess this is where my luck ends," Rose chuckled, resigned.
She did put up a fight, and she was obviously a much better fighter than all the other human kids that were participating. However, that didn't mean she had much of a chance against Trunks, and the fact she didn't know how to fly yet didn't work for her advantage. So when Trunks defeated her, she'd just shrugged and walked back with Trunks.
"Did you see the audience?" she asked the older boy with a laugh. "They were shocked!"
Trunks grinned. "Yeah, well, they should be. We're awesome."
The next fight was between Goten and Daikon. The two cousins walked into the ring once they were called. Daikon looked down at his younger cousin and grinned.
"Okay, so as much as I hate to admit it, I know you're stronger. Just don't think I'm goin' down without a fight!"
Goten laughed as he grinned. "I wouldn't ever think so!"
The announcer gave a smile to the audience, grinning; he couldn't wait to see what Goten would do. "Fight!"
Knowing Goten was a lot faster than him, Daikon let his cousin dash towards him and kick out. Throwing his arms up to block the first frontal blow, Daikon turned slightly to the right and let Goten mostly glide past him. Goten was surprised he missed and went at his cousin with more power, throwing a vicious series of punches that he knew couldn't be dodged. Daikon dodged the first blow to the face by inclining his head back, only to be caught in the ribs by Goten's left fist. Grunting from the pain, Daikon ignored the follow up kick to his knee and waited for Goten's next strike. Goten sensed weakness and powered up a little more and swung a bit wildly for Daikon's face, missing entirely as his cousin flew back and grabbed his outstretched arm.
Pulling him in with a grin, Daikon poured as much Ki as he could into his left arm and arced it into Goten, illuminating his cousin through its sheer power, causing the boy to writhe in pain. Not giving him time to recover, Daikon pulled him further towards him before letting go and dispersing Ki in a concussive wave into Goten; slamming him back across the ground before skidding to a stop just before the edge of the arena. Getting up, Goten wiped his mouth and shakily looked at his hand to see—to his disbelief—blood.
"I told you I wasn't going to make it easy for you, Goten! I suggest you get serious!" Daikon warned with a smirk that mirrored his father's perfectly.
"Serious it is then," Goten shouted back as his face darkened in renewed concentration and his aura started to transition to gold.
Putting his hands together at the side, Goten drew energy into the gap between his palms and began to utter the immortal words not heard at the tournament for decades. "Kame…" the seven-year-old called out as blue energy pulsed.
'Oh, man! Only chance I have is to try and weaken it with my own blast. I hate that move,' Daikon groaned as he realized what Goten was doing and began to charge Ki into both his hands, moving them out to the side.
Yellow hued Ki charged in Daikon's hands as he raised them up to meet together above his head. Energy crackled between his palms as he poured as much Ki as he could in what he knew was a probably futile attempt to stop his cousin.
'All I have to do is slow it, stop the charge and fly up; only got to struggle for a few seconds. When I'm free of it I can after image and try to wear him down. He's a kid; he'll get frustrated and try to end it fast and go Super Saiyan. I'll keep making afterimages and clones and tire him; he's young'n me and won't be able to hold it for too long,' Daikon planned ahead, trying to think of anything but the pain that came with pushing through his usual limits.
'He is really trying with that. I may have to put more in than I'd like,' Goten realized with a small frown. Suddenly though an image he'd seen from an old fight came to the forefront of his mind and he knew he had the fight won. "Ha!" Goten yelled as he forced his arms forward, unleashing a blinding blue barrage of Ki at his opponent.
'Ah, man! He went early!' Daikon panicked as he feared he hadn't channeled enough power. Throwing his arms down he hurled the gathered Ki into a constant stream of energy; his signature move, based on his father's Double Sunday.
Daikon screamed under the immense pressure he felt from forcing Goten's assault back, despite this the conjoined beams slowly inched towards him as the resistance increased.
Sensing it was time, Goten grinned before winking at his older cousin. Daikon was confused momentarily but focused on keep his Ki flow stable, determined not to buckle under the sheer force. Just as he was sure he could abandon the struggle, suddenly Goten's resistance simply ceased and Daikon's attack overpowered the Kamehameha and dug a massive trench in the arena, blowing it apart and stopping only at the walls that shielded the lowest seated spectators, impacting deeply. Blinded by the flash and being stuck to the spot in order to stop his Ki beam from killing the audience
Daikon briefly registered a dark blur above him and slightly to the side of his face before everything went white and then very dim. He had a vague sensation of pain and moving quickly before the numbness of shock took over and he slammed into the ground dazed.
'Ah, no… I better not be...' Daikon began to think as he groggily got up ready to defend himself only to hear the most hated words to a fighter be announced over the arena speakers.
"Out of bounds!"
"What the hell did you do?!" Daikon questioned as his cousin came towards him and powered down. He wasn't angry; just utterly confused as his plan had been ironclad in his mind.
"Well, I saw you were really determined and putting in a lot power, and Super Saiyan can be tiring so instead of overpowering you and getting tired, I thought I'd cut off the struggle, speed over and punch you in the face," Goten laughed as he rubbed the back of his head. It'd been a great fight and he was hyped.
Daikon was just stunned by the brutally effective simplicity of his little cousin's plan. When he did regain some composure something very serious came to mind though. "That could have killed people, Goten. It was dangerous. I very nearly didn't stop in time!" Daikon lightly scolded; it wasn't his place to tell him what to do but he needed to say something before Gohan or the others did.
"Dad or one of the others would have blocked it if it was too much," Goten replied, not entirely convinced himself by what he was saying.
"Yeah, maybe. Anyway, it was a good fight cousin. Good luck in the next round, kid," Daikon congratulated, deciding not to upset Goten after his win. The cousins bumped fists as they walked back from the arena to vigorous applause. A huge grin plastered on Gohan's face. Now, the quarter finals of the Junior Division ended, and both his siblings managed to get to the semi-finals. Of course, he didn't expect any less.
"You look relaxed. I really hope your sister hasn't taught you her tricks and moves," Chimaki noted once she and Cumber had walked into the ring. Cumber stood with his arms crossed, cracking his neck with lazy head rolls.
"I should be. I've got to the semi-finals with there being three Super Saiyans in the contest. I want to see what the gap is between the best of the rest and you guys and that's about it. But don't worry; tricks aren't my thing, no secret plans," Cumber replied with a shrug and a laid back smile. 'She won't know what hit her,' he assured himself, hoping his outward lack of ambition would lower her guard.
"No tricks? This won't last long then," Chimaki replied with a note of arrogance that masked the unease she felt; she knew she couldn't use Super Saiyan just yet, which limited her and was a bit concerning. 'I'm still stronger than him if I go out of the gate as hard as I did end of the last fight.'
"And now for our first semi-final! Twelve-year old Chimaki versus fourteen-year-old Cumber! Competitors, are you ready?!" the announcer called out over the sound system.
With a rising of fists from both martial artists to signify they were ready, the countdown began and they settled into their starting stances. Chimaki powered up to the level she was at in her last fight and narrowed her eyes. Cumber just avoided eye contact.
'This is going to be amazing! I can't wait to see what Goku's daughter will do next!' "Begin!" the announcer roared over the speakers as the crowd went insane, cheering both fighters on.
Moving forward, Chimaki went for a rush attack, to clear Cumber out of the ring if possible. She went in with an elbow strike and expected Cumber to dodge; not committing entirely she shifted her weight slightly so as to wheel around with a rib kick. Cumber stayed his ground and threw up his arms to deflect the strike, grunting as he felt a bruise form, but with her balance already upset and the follow up in motion made her stumble and miss the kick entirely, cleaving through air.
Her eyes widened as she looked at Cumber's face and saw the cold look in his eyes; she had made a terrible error.
Cumber flurry punched her in the face more to disorient than injure and used his left hand to grab her outstretched right leg. Using his leverage he lifted her and slammed her sideways into the arena floor. Not letting go, he raised her again but rotated on his heels and swung her in a wide, arcing manner, remembering Goku using his Dragon Throw technique in spar a long time ago.
'Not enough to get her out of the ring but can't risk her senses returning anymore,' Cumber grimaced as he saw the surprise fade from Chimaki's eyes and Ki begin to glow from her hands. Not waiting to build up more speed, he hurled her straight for the nearest side of the arena.
Throwing her arms back, Chimaki righted herself as much as she could and fired Ki blasts off to slow herself, just stopping a few feet from the ring. As she straightened Cumber phased into view and kicked the top right leg, missing her hastily guarded ribs. Wincing from the stinging blow, she tilted her head back, avoiding an upper cut, retaliating with a kidney blow that caused Cumber to grit his teeth.
Thinking he'd lose focus, Chimaki raised her power even more and pressed forward with a barrage of kicks and punches which Cumber parried as best he could before dropping his guard to take a slicing fist to the face. Shaken but firm in his resolve, he slipped his right arm in under Chimaki's guard and fired a point blank Ki ball that exploded against Chimaki's stomach, pushing her back and forcing her to bend forwards.
Sensing weakness, Cumber snapped his left leg forward and caught her in the side of the jaw, knocking his opponent sideways by several feet. Using the new distance, Chimaki turned with the momentum and fired a poorly charged Masenko to gain time to compose herself; only for her reckless foe to cover his head and fly straight through it.
Raising her power even more, Chimaki braced herself as she got into a traditional Turtle School stance, anticipating a furious assault. Her eyes widened in horror though as Cumber enveloped himself in near off-yellow Ki and crashed into her fists first. Rocked and carried off by the sheer concussive energy, Chimaki flared her aura and rose up where it was safer to right herself. As she flipped forwards though her hair was grabbed by Cumber who having chased after her then dragged her in towards his waiting knees.
Her spine slammed onto Cumber's knee and stretched back, Chimaki saw stars and reflexively sent out a wave of Ki which forced Cumber off of her. Forcing herself to straighten, she raised her power even more, to the border of her base form limit and dropped to the ground.
'If you want to fight this rough, we're doing it on my terms now!' Chimaki raged as pain continued to pulse up and down her back. Dropping about a dozen feet in front of his obviously enraged foe, Cumber settled into a more traditional fighting stance.
'She's a bit hurt, but that did a lot less than I thought. The more brutal I got, it seemed the less she felt things…' Cumber pondered, confused as to what was happening until his friend's aura rose with her breath and her control of her Ki slipped, allowing him to sense it. Realizing the considerable increase in her power throughout the fight, he began to sweat for the first time.
"You realize the real fight starts now and you've done this to yourself right?" Chimaki asked through gritted teeth as she struggled to keep her aura in control, on the limit of going Super Saiyan without meaning to.
"Yeah, the real fun starts here! I'll tell you one thing, though. You won't ring me out like the others. You'll have to keep hitting me until I can't get up. Only way I'll lose," Cumber replied seriously, committed to seeing this through as far as he could.
"That's the only way I plan to end this one," Chimaki shot back before rushing forward once more.
With a clear power and thus speed advantage, Chimaki came at Cumber faster than he could properly react and kicked his chin, jerking his head back. As he began to fall back she went behind him and push-kicked him forwards. He rocketed face first, tearing up the arena floor as he went along before skidding to a halt two thirds of the way across. Seeing a chance to end things early, Chimaki pulled her arms back and put her palms together for the Son signature move.
'Well… she's done holding back,' Cumber joked to himself feebly, dimly hearing Chimaki chant what where usually the last words foes of the Son family ever heard.
Cumber tried to fly but was still too rattled and only raised himself to his hands and knees, hovering an inch at best before faltering to the floor. He started to sweat as the glow from Chimaki increased to the point it was blinding. Knowing he had maybe a couple of seconds, he tried to think about what his friends and family would do.
'Trunks would just go Super Saiyan and tank it. Vegeta and Gohan would deflect it. Goku would just use Instant Transmission. None of that helps at all… Got to be quick and creative. Krillin would probably try some desperate attack to launch himself up. Well, nothing to lose I guess,' Cumber reasoned as with a sigh. He resigned himself to a last ditch attempt and probably inevitable defeat.
Pressing his palms flat to the rubble, he poured out and remaining Ki he could muster and fired straight down. The energy burrowed a hole straight down through the arena and the force pushed him several feet above the ground just as Chimaki screamed out her attack and it flowed towards where he had just been. He had a stinging sensation across the front of his body as the outer edge of Chimaki's Kamehameha grazed him, despite that he'd avoided it and gained valuable recovery time.
'I can't believe that actually worked! Going to have to pay more attention to some of the old crazy stories Dad and the others tell. But first of all, I need to settle this score,' Cumber celebrated as cut off his Ki beams and stabilized himself, glaring at Chimaki who was still firing her Kamehameha.
With a defiant roar, Cumber flared his aura back to life and flew as fast he could, fists pulled back at Chimaki's stationary form. Looking up in shock, Chimaki's eyes widened as Cumber's fist came into frighteningly clear view. Cutting off her attack, she tried to evade but it was too late and her vision blurred as Cumber's fist connected squarely in her face, his speed amplifying the force of the attack.
Staggered, Chimaki threw up her arms across her face but was caught in the ribs several times, causing her to gasp. Instinct took over and she collected herself, flying back and trying to gain distance with some jabs and kicks which Cumber parried and returned with shots that mostly hit their mark. Bruised and totally off-balance, Chimaki reverted to the most basic things her brother and father had taught her; the traditional Turtle School defensive stance. Trying to predict the pattern of his attacks, she fluidly weaved in and out of his techniques paths and regulated her breathing, slowly regaining clarity.
Cumber was starting to tire from the relentless pace and his advantage was fading as every moment went by. His legs shifted with an annoying delay and his cut and swollen arms began to feel like they were weighted down. His thoughts drifted to an alternative approach but it distracted him enough to be rewarded by a fist buried deeply into his gut, forcing him to finally back off.
'Okay, she's looking back on form. A fist fight may not be the way to go anymore, fighting at range doesn't work out either; she'd win a beam struggle. What the hell am I going to do?' Cumber thought with frustration as he flew in a zig zag motion backwards, narrowly avoiding Chimaki's increasingly powerful but wild attacks. With no other options left, he resorted to the desperate, last resort of every Z-Fighter in history; a volley of Ki blasts.
It went as well as could be expected, slowing Chimaki for only a second before she just ploughed through them and grabbed him by the throat.
Grinning wildly, Chimaki squeezed and spiraled down, forcing Cumber towards the ground who could only claw at her hands in vain. As the rapidly approached Cumber ceased his struggle and locked eyes defiantly with Chimaki. And in a pause between gasps for air, winked.
Putting his hands together, he charged yellow Ki and then thrust his palms directly into Chimaki's chest.
"Double Sunday Surprise," he wheezed, laughing internally at the look of horror and disgust etched on Chimaki's face as the Ki beam carried her off of him and exploded against her, sending her flying back.
'Took fighting dirty to a new level. Dad would be proud,' Cumber chuckled to himself before impacting the ground and his world going blank.
Aware of loud voices announcing something, Cumber slowly opened his eyes and groaned at the light, his head throbbing with agony. Raising his head he faintly heard the announcer declare Chimaki the first finalist and that Goten and Trunks were up next. As he began to sit up he was grabbed and raised by an unknown figure. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts and vision he blinked and looked at his side to see Chimaki holding him up.
"Welcome back," she grunted under the strain, clearly exhausted.
"What just happened?" he asked thickly, memory still cloudy.
"You kept your promise. You didn't go down easy and I had to knock you out. That last move hurt by the way," she replied, adding the last bit with a frown as she half carried him towards the changing rooms.
"Nice. Good luck in the final," he smiled, proud of how good a show he put on as the crowd cheered his name when he feebly raised a hand to the stands.
"Thanks, let's just get you a Senzu Bean first before you go playing to the crowd. I think Dad brought some just in case," Chimaki replied as they entered the changing area and met their friends and family.
"Hey! Got ahead of you guys and asked Uncle Kakarot for Senzu Beans," Cella smiled at her brother and friend, giving them the Senzu so they could heal. "Dad was proud of your new tricks, bro," she added, and Cumber grinned at her.
"Now, it is time for the night fight! Seven-year-old Goten versus eight-year-old Trunks!" There was an uproar from the crowd; the people that cheered for Goten, Trunks, and everyone else were making themselves known. The announcer could understand them. He had a feeling this would be an awesome fight! "Whoever wins this will get to fight Chimaki in the finals! Which of these boys will get the chance?!" The crowd screamed in response; some cheering for Goten while others cheered for Trunks.
"Finally, it's our turn to fight each other!" Trunks grinned widely. He and Goten fought constantly but doing so in a tournament seemed to be more awesome. "Let's show these people how it's done!"
"Yeah!" Goten cheered.
"You can beat him, Goten!" Chimaki cheered for her brother. She knew Trunks was stronger but strength isn't everything and Goten was faster. Goten might be able to win and if he did, then they'd both get to fight in the finals. If not, she'd fight Trunks, which is awesome, too, but it wouldn't be as cool as fight her own brother. 'Two of Son Goku's children making it to the Junior Division's finals. That would be so cool!'
Both half-Saiyans made their way to the stage. "Whoever wins this gets to fight your sister," Trunks noted. "It doesn't matter who wins, we've got to beat her!"
Goten laughed and shrugged. Honestly, he didn't think they could beat his sister without teaming up. That didn't mean they wouldn't give it a go! "We can try."
Trunks smirked. "Of course, I'm gonna be who gets to the finals."
"Don't be so sure!" Goten grinned.
The announcer grinned ear-to-ear. 'I can tell this is going to be amazing!' "Fight!"
Yes, I did end it there. XD I actually wanted to get the Junior Division done in this chapter, but it turned out way longer, so it will be finished next chapter. That's okay, though, since Gotrix is who's writing the fights (thank you, man!) I've written ahead while he's at it so I don't think it'll take as long as last time. Hopefully, I'm right. :)

oldTimer: Yes! It's so awesome! Personally, I loved the tournaments. Which is why I'm pretty excited about all this. Especially when we get to the Senior Division!
Gokuu the Carrot: I've updated! Yay! Why would I judge you for reading this all over again? I'm flattered this is one of your favorite stories! :)
airnaruto45: I've never watched Soul Eater to be honest. XD I've heard it's good though.
Ninuhuju: The reenactment video is so bad but it's just hilarious. XD I just loved the Z-Fighters' reactions. And yeah, that seems to be the kind of person that woman is. Good thing that Trunks and Goten put 'em in their place! XD
Shigure Toshiro: The Junior Division seems like a stupid idea in general, after having kids like Goku and Krillin fighting in the tournament. But I guess that Goku, Krillin and Chiaotzu were exceptions, because everyone else was over fifteen, and the tournament officials might've wanted to give little children a fighting chance. Also, Piccolo was three when he participated in the 23rd WMAT, but he didn't look like it, so… XD
aira240302: Hola! Las reacciones de todo el mundo a esa película eran chistosas según yo, la cara de anonadados de los Guerreros Z XD. Las peleas las escribe Gotrix porque honestamente no soy muy buena en eso así que por qué no pedir ayuda?
Los nombres, bueno además de los típicos guerreros Z están Raditz y Tanip, los hermanos de Gokú. Raditz está con Kyuri y tienen un hijo llamado Daikon. Tanip está con Mato y tienen a Pia y a Kytsu. Además de ellos están Resu y Celga (amigos de Gokú antes de que lo mandaran a la Tierra) y ellos tienen a los mellizos Cella y Cumber, que son amigos de Chimaki. Rose es la hija de Yamcha y Violet (la coronel de Red Ribbon Army).
Yo sé que puede ser jodido cuando hay OCs pero supuse que sería más realista que si sobreviviera el planeta Vegeta entonces habrían más Saiyajines que estuvieran relacionados con los guerreros Z. XD Además, como viven en el planeta Vegeta no interponen mucho así que fue como, why not? Mientras no sean OP, yo no tengo problemas con los OCs, y he tenido la suerte que hasta ahora han sido bien recibidos. :)
No sé qué decir de Super. Es como… no sé, tiene cosas buenas y cosas malas. Y sí, le cambiaron el color de pelo a Mirai Trunks, no tengo idea por qué. También siento que están haciendo a Gokú más imbécil de lo que en realidad es (yo siempre he pensado que Gokú no es estúpido, simplemente no fue educado) y hay veces que la animación es asquerosa. Pero se viene la nueva saga en febrero y me hizo feliz, porque va a aparecer el Androide 17 y Gohan se ve fuerte de nuevo! :D
Ahora estoy viendo Ansatsu Kyoushitsu, pero otros anime buenos que he visto son Angel Beats, Charlotte, Death Note, NANA y Shingeki no Kyojin (la segunda temporada sale en abril del próximo año y soy feliz!), también me han dicho que Noragami es muy buena aunque no la he visto aun. Creo que ya dije suficientes. XD
tepicmail: Today!
Anonymous: Chimaki is going to the finals, and it's either Trunks or Goten who is fighting against her. Both of them are weaker, yes, but remember that if they're out of bounds they lose and if they somehow manage to outsmart her or something, they may win. If they manage. XD As for Trunks versus Goten… next chapter, you'll see. XD
Yeah, Mr. Satan didn't really show up in this chapter but he will in the next. XD I have plans, and I'm excited! The aftermath of the tournament is gonna be big with the whole Hercule thing going on!
rainne 2000 16: Thanks! That scene always made me laugh in canon. XD
Darth Nightmaricus: Yep. Goku didn't kill him, but a virus did. Also, the other day I found out Grandpa Gohan was 79 when he found Goku in canon. So, in this AU, he met Kakarot when he was 84 died when he was 89. Wonder how old the Ox-King is, though…?
As for the calendar, well, I did read that the DBZ calendar had a real world equivalent. But I'm pretty sure we didn't have capsules during the 80s. XD But anyway, we can just ignore Dr. Slump's calendar and assume that during Age 774, the Deadpool movie was a thing. :P
Also fun fact, according to this calendar, Goku fought Piccolo and married Chi-Chi the same year Nirvana released Nevermind. Awesome. XD (I like Nirvana a lot, in case you haven't noticed… xP)
WiffleDick678: Because… I'm inSaiyan! (Badum TSS! XD)
alphawolf2196: DUDE THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS XD
"They allowed us to come back from Other World to do commentary, mate!"
I love TFS. XD
God dammit Nappa: Any TFS reference is good in my books. XD I'm a girl. :) Glad you liked this story so much! That's awesome to hear! Yeah, I don't hate Mr. Satan, but I feel the Z-Fighters should be recognized or something. Like, everyone just forgot about their existence and that's not fair. But anyway. XD
To be honest, I've seen worse ships. Like, not only in this fandom, but sometimes I'm just like, "Why?" Just WHY would someone ship that! I don't ship Sharpner and Videl, but that's not nearly as bad as other ships I've seen. XD
Mirienka2: Thank you! Glad you liked it! :)
Dynamos: Thank you so much! :)
Super tiene sus momentos buenos y malos. Debo admitir que me reí todo el capítulo de baseball (lo de la pose de Yamcha, no me podía parar de reír XD) y estoy feliz por la nueva saga ya que vuelve el Androide 17 (tal vez conozcamos a su familia?) y Gohan se ve fuerte de nuevo! :D Lo que me jode es que, en vez de elegir a Yamcha, eligen a Roshi. No entiendo, o sea Roshi me cae bien y todo, pero Yamcha es mucho más fuerte! Si están compitiendo en un torneo y necesitan gente fuerte elijan a Yamcha no a Roshi! Pero bueno XD
Bra es canon pero aparentemente es un año menor que Pan. Y… yo no sé qué pensar de eso. Es extraño, en mi cabeza Bra siempre fue la mayor, pero será… Al menos va a existir XD
Thanks again! Love to read comments like this. Makes me really happy. :)
Secret Identities: Just wait 'til the crowd of old tournaments realize who's fighting in the Senior Division! :P
Thanks for all the reviews, guys! They make my day! :D I have the match up of the Senior Division planned, but I'm curious, who do you think will fight who? Let's see if you actually manage to guess some of the upcoming battles. XD
Happy New Year, guys!
Until next time!
