Chapter Thirty-Seven: Goku Enters the Ring/ Nero vs. Black Hood
The next morning while they were eating most of the people had annoyed expressions with Goku group as Goku, Saiya and Nero eat till they were full.
"Another helping please" Goku said.
"Make those two helpings" Nero said.
"Three" Saiya said.
"I'll see if we have more" the waiter said.
"Take it easy guys you don't have to eat everything at once you know" Krillin said.
"Really why not?" Goku asked.
"I don't see the problem" Nero said.
"You only have two hours until your match it's not wise to fight on a full stomach" Roshi said.
"They call me a pig" Oolong said.
"I heard that!" Nero growled.
"It's not funny it's embarrassing" Bulma said.
"Your right I shouldn't eat everything at once I'll take a snack with me in case I get hungry later" Goku said as everyone at their table non Saiyan fell over.
"What a great idea" Saiya said.
When they finished Nero was using a toothpick as Goku burped and Saiya slapped the back of his head.
"What do you say?" Saiya said.
"Delicious!" Goku said getting another snack.
"No for that burp you say 'excuse me' you baka!" Saiya yelled.
"So who is you opponent going to be in the next match a refrigerator?" Oolong said.
"Ha ha ha very funny Proky" Nero said.
"I think he fighting someone named Pamphlet, sounds lame to me" Launch said.
"No Pumpkin" Puar said.
"Pumpkin?" Turtle said.
"It's Pamput he's awesome! Haven't you ever heard of him before?" Bulma asked as everyone a the table shook their heads.
"You guys need to get with the times" Bulma said.
"Yes I know Pamput he raised out of obscurity last year some say he's a fighting genius he participated in all sorts of tournaments and won every match he's ever fought" Roshi said.
"Really?" Goku said.
"That's great" Krillin said sarcastically.
"He's not just an athlete he's also a big time action star in movies like Big Bikes, Explosion 4 and Mutant Rage that one is my personal favorite his head band was cool" Bulma said.
"Pistol Pamput was better" Launch said spinning his gun in her hand.
"Yeah I'm sure you like them for their interracial plot lines" Oolong said as Bulma glared at him.
"Nice straw Oolong stick it up your nose" Bulma said.
"Hey this joint may not have the best food but the view is great!" Roshi said as a few girls walked by and he stared at their asses as Nero made a Shadow Tentacle pull Roshi chair from under him and knocked him to the floor.
"Behave or I will use you as my Shadow Needle pincushion" Nero said.
"He's serious Roshi back home whenever Nero found he need to make his 'point' he never hesitated to stab anyone in the ass with a Shadow Needle and trust me it is not a pleasant experience" Saiya said.
Later that day Nero was helping Goku fix his gi as Roshi sat with some girls staring at some of their features.
"So uh tell me what you like best about the tournaments" Roshi said.
'I know what I like' he thought starting at the skirt on girl wore.
"I really don't find the fighting enjoyable I like the costumes" the blonde said.
'Me too' he thought still starting at her skirt.
"I feel a strong sense of community when I'm with the crowed" the purple hared girl said.
"I'll bet they do' he said starting at her breasts.
"They have the best ice-cream cones" the large short girl said.
"I'm sure" Roshi said not staring at anything on her.
"What about you mister why do you like coming to the tournament?" the blonde asked.
"Hmmm? Actually I'm a participant in a matter of speaking I have three pupils that are uh competing" Roshi said.
"Pupils?" the purple haired girl said.
"That's right" he said looking around for them.
"There nice a tight" Nero said tying Goku belt.
"Hey Krillin Goku come here for a second" Roshi called.
"What the hell does that old perv wants" Nero said following them.
"Yes sir" Goku and Krillin said.
"These are my pupils Krillin and Goku and Nero is a good friend of Goku" Roshi said.
"Oh they're just so adorable I can eat them right up with chocolate and marshmallow" the large girl said.
"Huh?" Goku and Krillin said.
"It's a compliment you two you say thank you" Nero said.
"Oh Goku who your hairstylist?" the purple haired girl asked.
"So cute! Oh and so handsome" the blonde said as Nero blushed.
"Yes they are something aren't they? I've trained them myself" Roshi said as he looked over to see the girls had gotten up and now were fawning over Goku, Krillin and Nero.
"Look it's so shiny" the blonde said rubbing Krillin head.
"Wow these two got tails" the purple one said.
"Oh he so muscular" the large girl said as Nero blush deepened.
"Hey wait a minute I thought we were talking about me not them" Roshi said.
"Precious" the large girl said.
"So sweet" the blonde said.
"Good luck" the purple haired girl said.
"Thank you" Nero said as Roshi turned red with anger.
"Goku, Krillin Nero!"
"Huh?"
"Since you three have so much idle time on your hands we better make some use of it and do some training!" Roshi yelled as the girls gasped.
"Real training" the purple haired said.
"Can we come watch?" the large girl asked.
"Why the hell are you so mad? You called them over" Nero said.
Later they all were in the fighters waiting room as Nero and the others watched Roshi while the girls watched.
"Go Goku!" the blonde said.
"Good luck Krillin!" the purple said.
"Break a leg Nero!" the blonde said.
"Go gramps for pulling for ya" the large one said.
"Alright boys I may be wearing gloves but I'm going to give it all I got and I want you three to do the same! Got it!"
"Yes" Goku and Krillin said.
'How the hell did I get mixed with his impress the hot girls plan? You know what I'm taking advantage of my 'fine physique' and using it against you old man' Nero thought.
"Goku you'll be up first" Roshi said.
"Right" Goku said as and he Krillin went to stand next to the girls as Goku and Roshi bowed to each other.
"Go!" Roshi said as Goku began punching and kicking the gloves as Roshi occasionally made a swing Goku would dodge and continue to attack.
"Incredible" Krillin said.
"Amazing" the purple said.
"Wow Goku is so fast the old man strong to" the blonde said.
"Yeah he sure is" the purple said.
'Time for revenge' Nero thought, "boy are you girls hot? It feels hot in here you girls don't mine if I pull off my shirt do you? It a best tight I think I should but a new one" Nero said pulling on the his grey shirt.
"Oh go ahead we don't mind" the blonde said with blush.
"Yeah go ahead" the purple said.
"Please don't mind us" the large girl said.
"Thanks" Nero said pulling off his shirt as their girls gasped at his very muscular body as Roshi growled, "ah much better"
"Nero!" Roshi yelled then got punched in the face by Goku.
"What did you hit me for!" Roshi said.
"Is that all were going to do?" Goku asked.
"Yeah I was thinking of going to the pool later" Nero said as the girls giggled, 'take that you old pervert!"
"Yes only because you have a match later on next time I won't let you off so easy Krillin now you're up" Roshi said.
"Great!" Krillin said.
"Isn't he cute?" the blonde said.
"Just darling" the purple said.
"Just Krillin" Krillin said with annoyed expression.
"I'd still like to work out some I guess I'll go for a run" Goku said.
"Alright but don't go too far there isn't much time" Roshi said.
"I'll go with him a nice jog before I hit the pool sounds like a good idea" Nero said as the girls squealed and Nero smirked evilly at the angry Roshi as he followed Goku out of the fighters room and put back on his shirt.
IIIIIII
Later that day before the tournament started Saiya and the others looked for Launch, "where's Launch?" Bulma asked.
"She could be anywhere" Oolong said.
"Just listen for gun shots" Turtle said.
"Come on Launch isn't...you know what yeah listen for the shots" Saiya said.
IIIIIII
"Goku we should be heading back soon" Nero said as they jogged down the street as a car quickly pulled over in front of them as the window rolled down and a large man with purple hair and a cigar in his mouth came into view.
"I got bad news Goku" he said.
"What bad news?" Nero asked.
"They changed location for your match" he said.
"Really? They changed location?" Goku said.
"Sure the tournament now in a different place what you didn't get the memo?" he said.
"Memo?" Goku said.
"There was no memo" Nero said eyeing his suspiciously.
"I'm not surprised clinical error that why they sent me so you better hurry hop in I'll give you a lift" he said.
"Okay!" Goku said.
'Great Goku you idiot now I got to follow but I might as well have fun with this I need a test subject or two for my newest Shadow Technique' Nero thought getting in the car with Goku.
"Hello" Goku said to one of the large body guards, "so why did they change the location anyway?"
"What! Uh something about losing their building license why don't you just relax and look out the window enjoy!" the large man said.
"I'm okay" Goku said.
'Not for long kid Pamput going to win without breaking a sweat' the man thought.
'So that's his plan well let's see what nightmare I can create' Nero thought.
IIIIII
"What the hell do you mean they're not here!" Roshi yelled.
"No one seen them they've been gone for thirty minutes" Krillin said.
"Well if they don't get here soon they'll lose their fights!" Roshi said.
IIIII
'Good Goku fell asleep now I'll test my technique on big ugly here' Nero thought.
"Pull over!" Launch yelled ridding behind them on a motorcycle and holding an ice-cream.
"The hell?" Nero said.
"Don't you want you ice-cream! Can't you hear me! Stop the car!" she yelled kicking the door, "Goku wake up!"
"Oh hi Launch how are you?" Goku asked.
"Ask your friends to pull over so we can introduce properly!" Launch said.
"She got ice-cream" Goku said.
"Lose her quick step on it!" the large man yelled.
"Fine you want to do this the hard way you got the right girl!" Launch yelled following after them until Launch chased them to a dead end.
"Get her!" the large man said as the two bodyguards got out of the car as Launch kicked the first man in the gut and punched the other in the jaw and when a gun was pulled out she threw her ice-cream in his face and punched him in the gut and knocked him over with the other down bodyguard.
"Damn" Nero said.
"I hate to waste good food" Launch said.
"Don't worry Launch I'll buy you a cone later but what do we do with him?" Nero said making as Shadow Needle point at Pamput manager.
"Please I bruise easy! I'm sorry I just wanted Pamput to win the match that's all" he said.
"What's going on?" Goku asked.
"Goku what were you and Nero doing getting in the car with this slime can't you tell he dangerous!" Launch yelled.
"He said he would help me get to the tournament" Goku said.
"No he wanted to keep you away!" Launch yelled.
"It was a lie? What about the memo thingy?" Goku said.
"Goku I believe you must learn from your mistakes so learn from this you never get in a car with a stranger never no matter what convincing story they tell you and second the only reason I came because I had full intention of showing you what happens to slime" Nero said.
"Please don't hurt me! I was a fool!" the manager said.
"Yes yes you were" Nero said.
"Go on get out of here you got a fight to catch" Launch said.
"Right thank you Launch" Goku said running off.
"Go easy on him Launch" Nero said following after Goku as Launch cracked her knuckles.
IIIIII
"Now your patience are about to pay off for the fourth match for the quarter finals! Let's welcome our fighters! First is a man who needs no introduction the one the only Pamput!" the WTA said as he didn't see him come out of the fighters room then heard people cheer and spotted Pamput on the roof as he jumped off spun in the air then landed on the ring as people cheered.
"What a show off" Roshi said.
"Is he here to fight or sign autographs?" Krillin asked.
"Isn't he fabulous!" Bulma said with hearts in her eyes while the others had annoyed expressions.
"Now this is embarrassing" Oolong said.
"Agreed" Saiya said.
"Whether he's fighting in the ring or on the big screen Pamput where's superstardom like a crown! He's one plenty of championships and if he wins this one he'll become the strongest man in the world! Next we have the second place winner of the last tournament Goku! Huh?" he said when Goku didn't come out, "it appears as though that Goku is missing!"
"What has that boy gotten himself into!" Roshi said.
"Hurry up Goku!" Krillin said.
Meanwhile Goku has hopping from car to car with Nero following behind.
"Maybe I should have called Shadow Nimbus" Nero said.
IIIIII
"Well he's extremely late" the WTA said.
"Expected really I'm used to my opponents running away" Pamput said.
"Uh do to Goku unexplained disappearance and in accordance to rule twenty-seven fifty-eight A of the tournament guidelines the winner by forfeit is our esteem challenger-!"
"Wait! Wait! I'm here! Sorry I'm late" Goku said jumping from the crowds followed by Nero.
"He's here" Roshi said.
"Finally!" Krillin said.
"Sorry about that the idiot got into a car with Pamput manager, right about now I think Launch is taking care of him" Nero said joining them.
"Goku cut it close but it looks like he's arrived just in time the match will proceed!" the WTA said.
"I'm sorry I kept you waiting" Goku said.
"If you were smart you would have stayed gone" Pamput said.
"Folks the tension in this ring is thicker than my hair-gel you wanted a big fight well now you got it!" the WTA said as Pamput threw a fast punch and stopped inches from Goku face.
"What the matter kid scared stiff or am I just too fast for you?"
"Were you stretching or punching I couldn't tell" Goku said.
"What! You don't know who you're dealing with it's not your fault your just uneducated that's fine in fact I will bring you up to speed with a little demonstration with our indulgent of course" Pamput said the WTA.
"This is an odd request but you may proceed" the WTA said as Pamput jumped back and did a few punches and kicks then slammed his elbow into the wall and caused it to shatter.
"He's so talented" Bulma said.
"Just who side are you on Bulma" Oolong said.
"Goku of course uh well maybe both" Bulma said.
"Traitor" Saiya said.
"We just had that fixed yesterday" the WTA said.
"I can't complain he improved our view" Roshi said now watching from the other side of the broken wall with Krillin and Nero.
"Now you witnessed my power and this is just a taste" Pamput said.
"Uh okay" Goku said.
"You don't want seconds" Pamput said.
"He talks like he's in a movie" Krillin said.
"Yes Krillin a very bad movie" Roshi said.
"I give it two thumbs down" Nero said.
"And now without furfure delay it's time to start the fourth match!" the WTA said as Goku bowed.
"Thirty seconds, you got thirty seconds of Pamput time before you go down" he said.
"Keep your eyes peeled folks because with these two wild warriors going head to head anything is possible ready fighters!" the WTA said as the gong was rung, "and begin!"
"Remember my hair off limits and so is my back I just had it waxed" Pamput said as he charged at Goku who caught his fist then made several hits to his chest and gut as Pamput wheezed and began to stumble then fell over.
"Wow three seconds and he's down" Nero said.
"He's knocked out! The winner is Goku!" the WTA said.
"Goku you did it!" Oolong said.
"Yay Goku!" Turtle said.
"What? Well he's stronger in the movies and better looking too" Bulma said.
"What do you expect this guy was a chump" Saiya said.
"Who would have thought Pamput defeated with one punch! Like I said folks anything can happen and remember you saw it here first! So much for the action hero maybe he'll fight better in the box office!"
"You were incredible Goku and I knew you'd beat Pamput from the beginning there was no doubt that over blown windbag would pop sooner or later!" Krillin said as they double high-five each other.
"He's wasn't strong at all anyone could have beat him" Goku said.
"I don't think so Pamput may be a self-absorbed pain in the ass but beneath the hair and publicity stunt is an exceptional fighter the reason he seemed weak and ordinary to you is because you are not" Roshi said.
"Huh?"
"For once the old man is correct" Nero said.
"Both of you have proven threw your recent fights that you have moved beyond the limitation of ordinary men" Roshi said.
"But if were stronger than everyone else why did Yamcha who as good as we are lose his match and I myself had a hard time beating Chiaotzu" Krillin said.
"You're not the only ones with an edge in fact Tien and Chiaotzu enjoy the same advantages as you maybe more" Roshi said.
"Okay my match is next and I'm going to say this once to all three of you no matter what you see or feel stay out of the ring he's dangerous and his strength and power goes beyond anything any of you can reach and this gives him an edge but I have a few tricks up my sleeve as well" Nero said.
"And now the moment you all been waiting for folks the last match of our quarter finals Nero Son vs. the Black Hood!" the WTA said.
'Focus Nero all you need to do I knock him out that interrogate him on Bardock whereabouts' Nero thought as he walked out to the center of the stage.
"Yeah go Nero!" Bulma yelled.
"Kick his ass Nero!" Saiya said.
"Go Nero Go! Go!" Poru said.
"Nice friends you got" hood said walking out to the center of the ring.
"You never told me your answer for our deal" Nero said.
"The higher ups agreed to you deal the girl will be yours I have the key and controller to her slave collar right here" Hood said holding them up and put them in his pocket.
"Fighter are you ready!"
"After this fight hood I want information on Bardock whereabouts" Nero said going into fighting stance.
"Bardock? He's here" he said throwing back the hood covering his body to reveal the Saiyan armor as he floated off the ground with his head still covered as Nero saw two red eyes.
"Begin!"
"Time Slicer!" hood yelled as Nero disappeared as the attack missed.
"Shadow Blaster!" Nero yelled as Hood looked up to see Nero above him with a black kai ball as he launched it at Hood who dodged it.
"Impressive your power exceeds those weakling you call friends" Hood said.
"And this is me holding back" Nero said landing on the ground.
"I wonder how fast you can move when their lives are on the line" he said.
"The hell you say" Nero said as Hood held out his hand to Saiya and the others and formed a kai ball.
"Final Sprit Cannon" he said launching a kai blast towards his friends as Nero was given no choice and released his full powers as his eyes glowed red and his power incread.
"Black Hole of Darkness!" Nero yelled as a black hold formed in front of his friends and the blast went into it.
"Amazing! Believe me folks this is not fake this is real! Nero had just made hood blast towards the people disappear into a black hole!"
"Who said it's gone for good!" Nero said as another black hole opened up above hood and the blast came down hitting hood.
"Was that the best you got?" hood said standing with only burnt hood.
"Let's go!" Nero yelled as they charged at each other throwing fast punches and kicks at each other.
Nero then punched hood in the face and felt his fist had hit something that didn't feel like a face as he kicked hood in the air as he held both his hands out to both sides and made to shadow balls as hood was engulfed in a massive ball of darkness as Nero eyes glowed red and the sky began to turn dark.
"Nightmare Crusher!" Nero yelled slamming both the shadow balls in his hands together making the massive one above them explode.
"Time Breaker" hood said as Nero turned around a second to late and got a knee to the gut then several fast hit all over his body and was sent hitting the grunt.
"Ugh! Nice little trick! But I'm not the kind you should play tricks on!" Nero growled getting back up as hood formed a kai ball in front of him as Nero went in his own special Kamehameha stance.
"What is he doing!" Roshi yelled.
"Kamehameha! Nero knows it" Goku said.
"Darkness Kamehameha!" Nero yelled blasting a black kai blast at hood.
"Last Riot Javelin!" hood yelled as both their kai blast collided sending winds of energy in all directions.
"How strong is this guy! Nero should have been able to beat him sooner" Saiya said.
"Master he's a level 2 in SS!" Poru said.
"What! Nero can't even go to that level without exposing himself!" Saiya growled.
'I can't lose! I must win I can't let him win!' Nero thought.
'Nero' Bardock voice said in his head.
'Grandpa!' Nero thought as he saw a gold light flash in hood hidden face as he grunted.
"Now!" Nero yelled pushing back hood attack and hit hood with the Darkness Kamehameha with a bright light.
When the light cleared Nero was panting as he approached hood lying on the ground.
"Who the hell are you?" Nero asked reaching for his hood as Hood grabbed his hand.
"I don't think so" Hood said as Nero pulled his arm free and hood got back up and reached into his pocket and tossed Nero the key and controller then jumped out of the ring.
"Hood has just forfeited the match! Nero is the winner!" the WTA said as people clapped and Hood disappeared as Nero felt something hit him then coughed blood and fell over.
"Nero!" Goku yelled running out to him.
"No Nero!" Saiya yelled hopping over the wall to Nero with Goku.
"Get the doctors out here!" the WTA yelled.
'Before Hood hit Nero in the gut but it didn't affect him because it was one of those get hit now feel it later hits but what did he toss Nero?' Saiya thought holding the key and controller in his hand.
IIIIII
"Why did you forfit!" Miira yelled.
"This is why master" Hood said removing his hood to reveal the huge crack going down the mask.
"I see Bardock was trying to get back into his body well we better get that fixed so we don't have that same mistake again" Miira said.
