The Final
Next up to the stage were Gohan and Tao, the Announcer as always hyped up the fight between the two. As the two stood across from each other they eyed each other's weaknesses, since they trained together along with Shen and Roshi they had determined each other's weaknesses, they each stood silently waiting and calculating.
Then the Announcer called start and Tao launched at Gohan. Quickly Gohan raised a block. Tao's fist connected with the block then his fist shifted and gripped Gohan's forearm. Gohan reacted by jumping back, pulling Tao with him, with Tao off balance he Kicked Tao in the face, but Tao used his other hand and blocked it. Taos eyes shone bright yellow and two thin ki beams shot out. Gohan shot up to the sky hovering, astonishing everyone, the beams just missed his feet as he flew up sharply, angry Gohan shouted "You trying to kill me?" Tao snickered trying to get Gohan angry and succeeding "Maybe." At that comment Gohan's eyes narrowed, he sealed his mouth and determined this needed to end now. Silently he charged a Kame hame ha, the blue ball grew in his hands at his side. Tao smirking that Gohan had fallen into his trap raised his hands forming a circle with Gohan in the centre charged energy in his body. Gohan then sharply shot straight down at Tao, Kamehameha at the ready. Tao smirking now knew he had this in the bag. Gohan fired the Kame Hame ha however to Tao's surprise it was not pointed at him but away from him, this confused the mercenary for just enough time for Gohan to rocket towards Tao with a foot outstretched, the foot Collided with Tao's midsection with tremendous speed and power sending the mercenary straight into the turf creating a small crater. Gohan was proclaimed the winner by ring out.
When Gohan got back to the contestants area Roshi was there waiting "Good work out there Gohan, using a Kamehameha as a speed boosting attack technique smart, never would have thought of that myself."
Gohan calming himself down let his mouth form a smile.
Roshi then continued "There has been a new development with Kakarott. After the Tournament he intends to fight all of us and all of our students at once. So as a precaution I gave every single one of the students a sensu bean as well as informing them of its properties, only Chichi, Shen and Chaotsu were injured so they ate the bean straight away, everyone else has been told to only use theirs in a dire circumstance."
Gohan "Let's hope he continues to not kill."
Roshi "yeah, I hope so too, anyway here is your bean." Roshi then hands a Gohan a sensu from his pouch, Gohan then tucks it in his pants.
Then after some setup time it was Time for the Final match Gohan vs Kakarott. The announcer as always hyped up the match. Kakarott stood across from Gohan, the first human he ever met, yet he was one of the strongest people on the planet, Kakarott smirked at the memory of finally beating him after multiple failed attempts. Gohan stood watching the short, tailed, shirtless, scarred, teen before him smirking. "Thinking about when you finally beat me are you?"
Kakarott looked up eyes filled with joy at the memory "Yep, no sweeter victory than that one." Then his eyes hardened "I intend to end this quickly Old man, and get to the real fight."
Gohan smirked at his adversary, his plan had worked, he had prevented another massacre, by simply informing him about the tournament. Yes it was horrific that the entire town, police and military were massacred, but the child wanted a fight, he later heard from Shen that the kid flew around and attacked him. That meant the kid was looking for a challenging fight for a few years before the massacre, and from what he knew the Kid needed to fight, every time he fought him, he'd say the same thing. He was glad now and hoping that the tailed warrior will continue to appear at these tournaments to satiate his need.
The Announcer called start and Kakarott shot straight forward but to Gohan's surprise he attacked from
Above sending a kick his way. Gohan was sent flying towards the grass, Like Shen before him he tried stopping mid air, but to Kakarott's surprise when he was going to strike him into the ground, Gohan was already rocketing back towards the fighting stage with two yellow ki beams powering his movement.
The saiyan sharply flew to the stage, Gohan landed at the same time he did. Kakarott smirked at the display, this won't be as easy as the rest. This time Gohan charged at Kakarott, arriving at his left side, the saiyan threw a punch at the old man hitting him as he tried to block. The old man tried to punch and kick the saiyan in a flurry, only to hit him once, while the rest were blocked. The attack was barely felt, so Kakarott sent a Haymaker to hit Gohan's head, only for the old man to Rocket to the right using a Ki Blast, landing a decent punch to his face drawing blood before rocketing away. Kakarott smirked "Might have a bit o' fun before the real battle."
Kakarott then launched himself at Gohan, who in response Rocketed away, noticing this Kakarott swiftly angled his flight path to meet Gohan where he would be and sent a roundhouse kick. Gohan unable to respond fast enough was sent flying across the sky. Kakarott chased the old man with a wide grin on his face, when he caught up threw a barrage of Kicks and punches at Gohan aimed at his chest. Gohan managed to dodge some of them using ki rocket boosts but most landed, the old man himself managed to land a few rocket boosted punches as well. Kakarott having fun and his blood boiling from all the combat sent a strong punch that hit Gohan's face both drawing blood and disorienting the man. Gohan rocketed away and slapped himself to get back in the game, but as he was reoriented he noticed Kakarott hovering in front of him. The saiyan while smiling shifted to a smirk "It's time to end this, I can't wait for the real battle." The air swirled around the tailed teen flinging around leaves and dust before the wind just as suddenly died and all the leaves and dust fell.
The child had powered up Gohan knew, but by how much he couldn't say for certain, he needed to not be in a combat situation to sense his power.
The child vanished and before Gohan knew what happened he was struck in the gut and curb stomped slamming into the dirt surrounding the stage and bounced before finally settling on the ground.
The announcer shouted "There we have it folks Our Champion for the twenty second World Martial arts Tournament, The strongest under the heavens is Kakarott." The crowd roared as they cheered and clapped their hands. Gohan was stretchered out by tournament Medics.
The announcer turned towards Kakarott "Now that you have won the Tournament, would you like to tell us something about yourself?"
Kakarott smirking remembering what he did a few years ago just to get a challenging fight stated "You should already know who I am." He couldn't believe that none recognised him, he caused a massacre on live tv, how were they not recognising him?
The announcer looked mystified, yes the name did seem familiar but he just couldn't place it and now that he mentioned it his hair and tail struck a cord as well.
As if to answer the thoughts in the crowds and Announcers mind Kakarott continued " I am Kakarott, I wiped out the entirety of Orange Village, the People in blue with their loud cars as well as the entire military. Do you remember me now?"
The Jubilation died as suddenly as it started maybe even faster as the realisation kicked in. "Now I want my pay check."
In shock the Announcer just handed over the check, the camera man on reflex took Kakarotts picture in shock. The whole crowd stood silent in shock then after processing, survival kicked in and they started rushing towards the exit, screaming.
Kakarott smirked "Finally, that's what should of happened yesterday, you people are real slow on the uptake. It's almost a miracle that your race survived to this day over the eons of evolution. Thank you wild life Documentaries."
