On the sideline…
"What even is Earth 6?!" Vegeta said. "And how could I have killed Gina's mother? I've never heard of that planet, much less attacked it!"
"Neither have I," Piccolo replied. "I don't think any of us have."
"Maybe we should ask Whis!" Goku said. "He'd know!"
"Yeah," Vegeta said, "but he's off with Beerus blowing up some random planets. From what I heard, though, he's only blowing up planets without intelligent life. See: inability to cook." This caused some laughter among the Z Fighters.
"I mean, you're not wrong!" Chiaotzu replied. "But seriously, I think Gina wants to kill Vegeta."
"If she wants to kill me, let her try!" Vegeta replied. "I have matched a God of Destruction, found a level beyond a God, defeated an invincible being, and destroyed the Hyperbolic Time Chamber; twice! She. Can't. Beat. Me. And then, I'll kick her sweetheart's ass so hard, he'll crash into King Yemma's desk!"
"Well, be careful," Tien replied. "Despite everything you think, strength alone will not defeat her. These two fighters are speed fighters. No matter how hard you hit, it doesn't matter if you miss. You'll need to think with strategy, not just 'attack attack attack.'"
"Bitch, please." Vegeta cracked his knuckles. "These two will be easier than Chiaotzu."
"Hey, at least I'm not the target!" Krillin said.
"Yeah, that shit's been run to death," Vegeta said. "Insulting you would be beating a bald, dead horse. A Saiyan God has better things to do than that."
On a spaceship…
Gina was putting on some grey clothes. The spaceship resembled a futuristic-looking living room, with a circular couch and table, several lockers, including one that was open and empty (its contents, a box of capsules, were at Gina's feet), a kitchen area, several computers, and a control area, featuring a single chair, several consoles, and a front window. There were also several other windows around the spaceship. 3 large doors were also present. The entire ship seemed to be painted in shades of cool black, not quite reaching grey.
"What do you have to gain, Gina?" Mark asked.
"Killing him might not bring Spritze back," Gina replied, "but at least I can stop them from hurting anyone else."
"And you think taking out Vegeta will do the trick?"
"Hey, if we can eradicate the royal family, maybe we can set up a puppet government, and calm down the Saiyans."
"Gina, this isn't the Earth 6 way."
"We're going to fight anyway. Might as well kill him."
"Gina, what you do next is your choice. But I beg you: do not kill him. I don't even think he's guilty of anything. If you must, we can capture him, and bring him to Earth 6 for trial, but killing him is not necessary."
"Your concerns have been noted. But, full disclosure, I still intend to kill him."
"Very well."
In the ring…
"Alright!" the announcer said. "It is time for our 2nd semifinal match: Gina vs Vegeta! Hey, that rhymes!" Gina and Vegeta walked into the ring. Vegeta put his hand out for a handshake, but Gina simply replied with a blank stare, one with a bit of anger, and scarier than Mark's stare.
"I'm not letting you get away," Gina said. "Ki generators 25%."
"Oh, wow, an entire 25%!" Vegeta said, sarcastically. "I'm so scared! Not shake my hand; I'm SO fucking offended! Sure taught me a lesson."
"I'm going to fucking kill you, Vegeta."
"Uh, you do realize that killing is against the rules?" the announcer said.
"Then Mark will win, and by extension, I will."
"Don't worry," Vegeta replied, "I'll stop it just fine."
"And yet I feel more emotion for life than you, or anyone in your family."
"Heh, not my fault that I'm always in the position to save this planet."
"Whatever." Gina turned towards the crowd. "Attention everyone! My name is Gina, as you already know. I am an alien. My race is known as the Snaralis, and thus, I am a Snarali. Currently, I am facing a Saiyan, another race of alien. And I'm not just facing any Saiyan. This is a member of the royal family of a brutal empire! He killed an entire province of my people; well, more specifically, he ordered their deaths, but he is nonetheless guilty! And now, I see he has come to wreak destruction upon your planet! But do not fear! I have found myself in a position that happens to suit me to save your planet! I am going to kill this monster, and bring peace to the universe!"
"Gina, you're an idiot," Vegeta said.
"Let me guess, 'I'm an idiot if I think I can beat you.' Well, forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think I heard the other fighters back there saying that Buu wiped the floor with your Saiyan ass!"
"No, you're an idiot if you think I still want to blow up this planet. If I did, I would have done so years ago! Besides, the entire empire has been erased; Frieza conquered us, then he killed basically all the Saiyans, then we killed Frieza and his army, then Frieza's new army brought him back, then we killed him and his new army, then he got brought back, and has basically no empire, and has zero power over the three remaining Saiyans; myself, Kakarot, who you know as Goku, and Broly, who's on another planet! Also, Paragus might be alive, but none of us have any fucking clue!"
"And why should I buy any of that bullshit?!"
Vegeta took a deep breath. "You know what? I'm not even going to try to convince you otherwise. If you want to try and kill me, go ahead, bitch."
"Heh, let's go," Gina replied.
"Go!" the announcer said.
"Fighting AI engage."
"Don't play with him!" Mark screamed. "Just kill him or knock him out so we can go home! We have better shit to do!"
"KIKOHO!" Gina screamed, firing a Kikoho at Vegeta. Just before it hit Vegeta, however, Vegeta turned Super Saiyan Blue, allowing him to absorb the shot, though he was still pushed back a good margin. "KI! KO! HO!" Vegeta was able to jump up, and flew down at Gina, and attempted to perform a neck chop, but it went right through her, as it was an afterimage! Gina, from behind, blasted Vegeta with a massive ki blast, knocking him back, but Vegeta was able to catch himself before he hit the glass. Gina teleported, and began attacking him repeatedly, but Vegeta was able to block her attacks, before headbutting her back into the ring. Gina, however, caught herself, doing a backflip, and jumping back at Vegeta, and the two began exchanging punches and kicks. Eventually, Vegeta was knocked back, and Gina pursued him, but Vegeta was abe to regain his balance, and the two began exchanging punches and kicks, now going above the seating, and Vegeta was able to land a punch on Gina, knocking her away. Vegeta then rushed her, punching her with both hands up, then down, planting her in the ring. He then picked up Gina by her right ankle, and began spinning her around, preparing to throw her like a discus.
"KI SPIKE!" Gina screamed, causing a small explosion that forced Vegeta to let go of her. Gina then blasted Vegeta with another ki blast, knocking him back, and punched him again, almost forcing him into the wall, but Vegeta was able to catch himself, and caught Gina's punch, throwing her into the ring. Vegeta flew down at Gina, but Gina bounced him off with a mouth ki blast, and jumped out of her hole. Vegeta flew back down to the ring, landing behind Gina and ran at Gina. Gina simply smirked, and did a backflip just before Vegeta was able to punch her, kicking Vegeta from behind, and ejecting him with a ki blast. Vegeta was able to catch himself before he hit the wall, and Gina teleported behind him, and put him in a full nelson, throwing him at the glass. Vegeta was, however, able to get his fingers to his forehead just in time to use instant transmission to get away, causing Gina to nearly flip into the glass, but she was able to avoid the glass, and flew like a torpedo at Vegeta. However, she used an afterimage trick, throwing an afterimage at Vegeta. Vegeta, however, would not be caught off guard, and stayed tense, allowing him to absorb Gina's punch. Gina began punching and kicking him repeatedly, to seemingly no effect, until one punch was able to knock Vegeta down
"I have no way of announcing this fight!" the announcer said. "These two are just going too fast!"
"He's already having trouble keeping up?" Mark said.
"Well, yeah!" Krillin replied.
"Well, he's gonna have even more trouble as this goes on. They're both only gonna speed up, you know…"
Vegeta was able to complete a backflip, and as Gina tried to punch him, Vegeta was able to block, and Gina jumped back, before teleporting behind Vegeta and kicking, which Vegeta, once again, blocked.
"Are you kidding-" Vegeta began, turning towards Gina, before Gina punched him in the side of the face, and throwing him down by his head, catching him off guard while he was talking.
"And Gina takes a cheap shot on Vegeta!" the announcer said, as Gina continued to punch and kick Vegeta.
"What the hell, Gina?!" Goten yelled.
"Yeah, Goten, that was so dirty!" Goku replied.
"It's not my problem if Vegeta leaves himself open to attack," Mark said, turning around. "The fighting AI is designed to find openings to attack. It does not discriminate between actual weaknesses and distractions. That was Vegeta's mistake."
"See, now there's something we can agree on," 17 said. "I may favor this planet not being destroyed, but I'm not above a little cheap shot if my opponent leaves themself open in battle."
"Besides, where we're from, cheap shots are a sign of a good fighter; seeing openings in your enemy and taking advantage! Is that not basic fighting?!"
"If you've ever been to one of our fights…" Krillin said.
"Man, 17, you should have eliminated those guys from Universe 2 when you had the chance," 18 said. "Yunno, when they were screaming at you?"
"Goku was in the way," 17 said. "I couldn't take all 4 of them at once. I could beat Goku alone, but not with an entourage of him, 3 fighters from Universe 2, and that asshole Top."
"C'mon, 17, I just wanted a good fight!" Goku replied.
"Did you forget the penalty for losing?"
"I'm sorry, I don't follow," Mark said.
"Oh, just an old battle royale-style martial arts tournament…" 17 replied. "I took a cheap shot on some people while they were transforming, and Goku didn't like it."
"That's going to get Goku killed someday." Mark turned back towards the fight.
"It has."
Things were not looking good for Vegeta, as Gina continued to pummel him, over and over again, eventually knocking him out of his Super Saiyan Blue state. Eventually, Gina slammed Vegeta into the ground, and held out her palm.
"Ugh, finally," Gina said, charging up a massive ki blast, a look of pure disgust on her face.
"She's going to kill Vegeta!" Goku yelled.
"Shit, she's actually going to do it," Mark said, but with only a tinge of worry. He then became calm. "Eh."
"How the fuck can you say that?!" Trunks demanded.
"I told you already: I don't give a shit what happens to you. This is between Vegeta and Gina. I'm not involved. But if any of you try to interfere, I won't hesitate to send you flying all the way to Veris. Ki generators 25%."
"I WON'T LET-" Trunks began screaming, powering up to Super Saiyan, as he charged at the battle, but Mark teleported in front of him, and swatted him away, sending him flying.
"Anyone else wanna try?" Mark replied.
As Trunks was sent flying, he was screaming. His screaming was able to trigger something in Vegeta, and he jumped out of the hole just as Gina shot her ki blast at him, causing a massive explosion, destroying the ring yet again.
"Seriously!" the announcer yelled. "We are now out of rings!"
A shield formed around Vegeta, as he began screaming, and suddenly, a massive explosion occurred, with white light going all over the place, and shattering the glass!
"OK, this is getting too much!" the announcer said. "Evacuate the stadium!" Everyone began screaming, as everyone, including the announcer, ran out of the stadium, except the fighters.
When the light died down, Vegeta was standing in front of Gina, with grey eyes, grey hair, a white aura, and the loss of all emotions.
"Holy shit…" Goku said.
What just happened to Vegeta? How will the fight continue from here? And how will the tournament end? The end of the 26th Tenkaichi Budokai next time on Dragon Ball Silicon!
