Goku vs Chiaotzu! Only one will win

I don't own Digimon or Dragon Ball Z

Yamcha, still in the hospital and resting in his bed, opened his eyes and looked at Puar, who was by his bedside. "Puar, I'm guessing with you being the only one here that the last match is about to begin right?" he asked and Puar nodded. "I hope Goku is prepared to take on Chiaotzu, he could be just as strong as Tien."

"You think Goku can win don't you?" Puar asked him.

"Yes, he's a strong and talented fighter. But Shen and his followers are dangerous, deadly," he answered looking at the ceiling. He saw images of Shen and his students. "Puar, go to Goku and cheer him on. Please bring me the news of the fight when there's something to tell."

"Alright," Puar said as he flew out of his chair. "I'll be back soon Yamcha." He flew out of the room and closed the door behind him.

"Good luck Goku, you're gonna need it," Yamcha said looking out the window.

Meanwhile, back at the tournament arena, Goku stood across from Chiaotzu.

"Goku good luck!" Bulma cheered.

"Goku's number one!" Launch cheered as Goku looked at Daisuke. She grinned and nodded, actions that Goku returned.

"This next match is the fourth and final match of the quarterfinals and a sequel of sorts to the second match. Both Turtle and Crane houses suit up for a rematch with Master Roshi's Goku fighting Master Shen's Chiaotzu," the announcer said.

"Yes and the outcome will be the same as before," Shen said chuckling.

"Wipe that smug smile of your face. Goku is going to win this time!" Bulma told him.

"I'm here," Oolong said making his way through the crowd to Bulma, Launch, Krillin, and Turtle.

"About time, what're those?" Bulma asked the pig.

"There pom-poms," he answered, handing the pom-poms to Bulma and Launch.

"They look like bad wigs, what're we supposed to do with them?" Bulma asked.

"You're supposed to cheer with them, you know make a lot of noise for the home team. Like this. Go Goku! Go Goku! Go Goku!" Oolong shouted jumping into the air, and Bulma growled in frustration. "Ready? Shake those pom-poms left and right, we're gonna help Goku win this fight. Go Goku, Go Goku. Goku is cool he's got a tail and that is why he cannot fail!" Oolong cheered before Bulma smacked him on the back of the head.

"Cut it out!" she shouted.

"Sounds great don't you think?" Launch asked with a smile, and Bulma sweatdropped.

"Good luck Goku, be careful," Daisuke told him as she levitated behind the wall.

"Right," he replied before he looked at the blank face of Chiaotzu. "What's he thinking? I should have watched him fight in the elimination rounds," he thought as a gong sounded making the crowd cheer.

"Let the fourth and final match begin!" the announcer shouted.

"Fight, let's go," Goku said taking a stance, but Chiaotzu remained motionless. "Uh you do know that fighting requires you to move right?" he asked, and Shen chuckled as Chiaotzu levitated a few inches off the ground. "Wow, that's a neat trick."

"Goku, watch out!" Daisuke warned, but it was too late as Chiaotzu flew across the arena towards Goku and kicked him, sending him flying into the air and he looked down to see Chiaotzu following. Goku flipped over and dived down towards his foe, but his target moved away and he gulped.

"Goku watch out!" Krillin shouted, and Goku landed on his feet before jumping into the air. Chiaotzu followed and both exchanged and blocked punches before Goku flipped back and landed on the ground, looking up at his flying opponent.

"He's just hovering there," Bulma said in awe.

"This guy must save a lot on airfares," Oolong said before Goku jumped towards Chiaotzu. The young student of Roshi vanished into thin air, making Chiaotzu gasp.

"That was fast," Launch said.

"Chiaotzu on your left!" Tien shouted.

"Huh? But that would be…no wait…left is…" Chiaotzu stuttered before Goku appeared on his left and punched him, sending him skidding back. Goku continued his assault, punching relentlessly, and Chiaotzu blocked his strikes. Despite the pale boy's efforts, Goku slowly pushed him towards the edge of the arena.

"Keep it up!" Launch cheered.

"Smart kid, he's gonna push Chiaotzu out of the ring," Oolong said, but as the two fighter's neared the ring's edge, Chiaotzu flew into the air.

"Get down here! Are you a fighter or a balloon!?" Goku asked angrily.

"The flying technique, pure Hermit Crane. Nonsense," Jackie Chun said as he watched the fight.

"You seem to know a lot about my master old man," Tien said, looking at him curiously.

"That's right. And his name is Jackie Chun," Daisuke told him, glaring at the tri-clops.

"Believe it or not folks, Chiaotzu is walking on air," the announcer said as Chiaotzu walked on thin air back towards the arena.

"Okay Goku, what now? I can't jump attack him otherwise he'd dodge and send me flying out of bounds," Goku thought.

"It's a trick," Oolong said.

"I don't think so," Krillin replied.

"Watch closely. I've got a surprise," Chiaotzu said, holding his hands up.

"Just get your pale butt down here!" Goku shouted as Chiaotzu gathered energy at his fingertip, making Tien and Shen chuckle.

"Dodon Ray!" Chiaotzu shouted as he fired a beam of yellow energy towards Goku. He jumped back as the attack hit the arena ground, and a man covered from head to toe in bandages in the crowd groaned and collapsed, leaning over the wall, and Shen chuckled.

"That will be your friend if he stays in the ring for much longer," he said.

"So the person who burned that guy in the elimination round is…" Bulma said shocked.

"That's right. It was Chiaotzu," Shen replied.

"I never would have expected that cute kid of being the psychotic type," Oolong said worried as Chiaotzu readied another attack.

"Dodon Ray!" he shouted again, firing three separate energy blasts towards Goku who jumped out of the way of each attack.

"Give me a break, what's he using!?" Goku shouted ducking under another energy blast.

"The Dodon Ray! The same technique you told me that the Mercenary Tao used!" Daisuke said, making Tien look over at her as Goku dodged another Dodon Ray.

"What did you say? Who has the same technique as Chiaotzu?" Tien asked, walking over to Daisuke who landed on the ground and looked at him.

"Dodon Ray, that was the name of the technique Mercenary Tao was using when Goku defeated him," she answered. "I don't have firsthand experience with it, but Goku explained it pretty clearly when I was asking about Ki attacks he's dealt with in the past."

"If you say your friend beat Tao, you're lying," Tien said.

"It's the truth, Tao killed Goku's friend's father. And then he tried to kill Goku," Daisuke said.

"He was a great man," Tien said. "When did this happen?"

"I don't know exactly how long ago," Daisuke answered. "It was before I started travelling with Goku. All I know is that Goku beat him and when he left Tao alive, the guy threw a grenade at him. Goku deflected it back and there was nothing left of Tao," she explained.

"Tao was one of the strongest men I know. How could that weakling defeat him?" Tien thought.

"Have you got a problem?" Daisuke asked and Tien growled and stormed off. "Was it something I said?"

"Daisuke, did Goku really kill Mercenary Tao?" Jackie Chun asked her.

"Yes Jackie, he really did. Why does everyone keep asking me that? I wasn't even there at the time, they should ask Goku if they want the details."

"Oh Daisuke, for once I wish that you were lying to me. You and Goku have no idea of the repercussions of your actions," Jackie Chun thought. "Daisuke, the man Goku said he killed….was Master Shen's brother," he told her.

"What, Shen has a brother?" she asked in bewilderment. "Huh."

Meanwhile back in the arena Goku was dodging Dodon Ray after Dodon Ray.

"This is nuts. How can I hit a guy who flies and keeps firing energy blasts at me?" Goku asked himself, dodging more blasts while Chiaotzu laughed.

"Goku get out, it's too dangerous!" Launch shouted.

"That's right girl, if you value your friend's life you'll convince him to give up before he gets himself killed," Shen said cruelly.

"Goku give up, it's too dangerous!" Bulma shouted.

"Warriors never give up in the middle of a match," Krillin said.

"It's not about giving up, it's about self-preservation," Launch protested.

"He'll win. I know he will," Oolong replied. Goku ran towards Chiaotzu dodging the Dodon Rays as they flew towards him.

"Okay, Goku think. There's got to be some way to get him down from up there," he thought. "Wait, that might work." He stopped running as he neared the edge of the arena, and turned and glared at Chiaotzu who was laughing as he prepared another Dodon Ray. "I hope this works," he said before taking off running. "Ka-Me-Ha-Me….!" he shouted as he jumped into the air. "HAAAA!" He threw his hands behind him and fired a Kamehameha wave towards the ground. He used the force of the attack to rocket towards Chiaotzu whose eyes widened in shock before Goku crashed into him, catching him off guard. Goku punched him several times, forcing him towards the ground, but at the last second Chiaotzu flew back into the air and Goku landed. "Damnit!" Goku growled as his opponent laughed.

"Master Shen, Master Shen!" Tien shouted making his way through the crowd towards Shen. "I have something to tell you,"

"What is it? Can you not see I'm busy watching one of my students about to win this match?" he asked Tien.

"Don't give up Goku!" Daisuke shouted to her friend as he dodged another Dodon Ray. "Try the Kamehameha again!" she encouraged him.

"Easier said than done!" Goku replied before he dodged another Dodon Ray.

"Let me see if I am understanding you. You are saying that my little brother Tao was killed by the monkey in the ring?" Shen asked Tien angrily.

"Well… uh yes Master, but I am sure it was just an accident," Tien replied carefully.

"Someone killing Tao is not an accident it's absolutely impossible!" Shen shouted. "Especially if you are saying it was one of Roshi's scum. Chiaotzu! I want you to stop playing around with your opponent and finish him off!" he shouted to the flying boy.

"What's the matter? Is your own pupil having trouble making good on all the bloated threats you made?" Bulma asked.

"Well at least both of my boys can still walk," Shen answered.

"Sure, but can they talk at the same time?" Oolong asked him.

"Why don't you come and say that to my face!" Shen shouted back.

"I just did," Oolong replied.

"I heard that you insolent porker!" Shen returned.

"I am afraid that simply defeating master Roshi's students is no longer an option for Shen. He wants them dead," Jackie Chun said.

"You think this is because Goku killed his brother?" Daisuke asked in concern.

"I'm afraid so."

"Goku, be careful," Daisuke thought.

"Get ready, here comes Dodon," Chiaotzu said as the energy around his finger grew in size until his whole hand was covered by the energy.

"Okay, let's try the Kamehameha again," Goku said as he took a stance. "Ka…Me…Ha….Me…!" he shouted as a sphere of blue Ki appeared in between his cupped hands while Chiaotzu continued to charge his Dodon Ray.

"Alright Goku, show this guy who is boss!" Daisuke shouted.

"The Kamehameha is a dangerous weapon," Jackie Chun said.

"So what? You've seen how strong Goku is. I think he can handle using it to counter the Dodon Ray," Daisuke told him. "Take this guy to the cleaners Goku!" Daisuke cheered, and Goku nodded with a grin.

"Dodon!" Chiaotzu shouted as the sphere on his finger grew in size and he lifted it over his head.

"Kill him!" Shen shouted.

"Ray!" Chiaotzu shouted, firing his attack towards Goku, and Shen and Tien smirked.

"HAAAAA!" Goku roared, throwing his hands forward. He fired his attack towards the Dodon Ray, and both beams clashed, struggling for dominance.

"Impossible!" Shen shouted shocked. "How can that pathetic monkey summon enough power to counteract the Dodon Ray?" he asked while Tien watched on in shock.

"I didn't think a student of Roshi's would be capable of such power, to be able to summon enough energy to counteract the Dodon Ray," Tien thought as Goku grunted in effort. Shouting with the exertion, his Kamehameha began to slowly push Chiaotzu's Dodon Ray back.

"What's going on?" Chiaotzu asked.

"I'm about to win this match baldy. You're done!" Goku answered as he put more power into his attack and it broke through the Dodon Ray and hit Chiaotzu, creating a massive explosion.

"Chiaotzu!" Tien shouted as he saw his friend fall towards the crowd covered in burns before he stopped falling and floated back towards the arena.

"You've gotta be kidding me. Even after being hit with the Kamehameha this guy is still floating?" Goku asked in disbelief.

"Wow, it's not often I am surprised, but I never knew that Goku had gotten this strong," Krillin said and the others nodded.

"You're different than the other foes I have faced. It's not often I do this, but for you I will use my special technique," Chiaotzu said as he removed his hat.

"Special? What are you going to try and blind me with your bald head?" Goku asked.

"Excellent, you know what is coming next," Shen said to Tien.

"Oh yes I do," he replied. "This fight won't last much longer," he added as Goku jumped into the air and sent a kick towards his opponent who dodged and jumped into the air. Beginning to spin around like a drill, he flew towards Goku who jumped over the attack just in time, and Chiaotzu bounced off a nearby wall and spun towards Goku again.

"That's not special, I can do that," Goku said as he jumped towards Chiaotzu and rammed his head into Chiaotzu's. Unfortunately he was thrown back and held his head, shaking it several time to clear his mind.

"Goku, are you alright?" Daisuke asked, and Goku looked at her and smirked.

"Never better," he replied as Chiaotzu landed on the ground. Instantly Goku was in front of him and Chiaotzu jumped back in shock. He tried to punch his opponent, but Goku caught both of his hands.

"Let me go!" he shouted.

"Why would I do that?" Goku asked. Chiaotzu gasped as Goku lifted him over his body and slammed him into the arena floor twice before throwing him across the stage. Chiaotzu screamed before he was elbowed into the ground by Goku who appeared above him. The Turtle student then grabbed him by his leg and spun him around before throwing him away. Running under him, Goku grabbed Chiaotzu and threw him back across the arena before appearing again and kicking Chiaotzu into the air. Following up, Goku jumped up after him and delivered a double axe handle, sending Chiaotzu crashing into the arena floor.

"Whoa…since when did Goku get that fast and strong?" Oolong asked in shock as Goku landed on the ground. He smirked as Chiaotzu pull himself to his feet.

"That guy has a high pain tolerance," Jackie Chun said. "What has happened to Goku? It's like he is an entirely different person." Chiaotzu jumped and spun around again as he headed towards Goku who held his hands up and caught his foe. He skidded back towards the edge of the arena before Chiaotzu stopped spinning around.

"He stopped him," Daisuke said.

"Lucky," Tien growled.

"My turn again? Because that really wasn't anything special," Goku taunted, making Shen and Tien growl as Goku punched Chiaotzu in the stomach before kicking him away. Goku charged towards Chiaotzu who jumped up and held his arms out towards Goku, who stopped in his tracks and fell to his knees, holding his stomach in pain.

"Goku, what's wrong?" Daisuke asked worried.

"My stomach, ugh it feels like it's on fire," Goku returned.

"That's it. Concentrate, don't push him out of the ring, kill him make the monkey suffer, let my vengeance begin!" Shen thought as he watched Goku writhe in pain before Chiaotzu kicked Goku into the wall and he fell down.

"Goku! Get up, you can't quit now!" Daisuke encouraged him.

"Your encouragement is admirable but nonetheless futile. Chiaotzu will destroy him for what he did to my brother Tao!" Shen growled, and Daisuke looked at Goku in worry.

"Goku! Come on, there has to be a way you can win this fight," Daisuke cheered, trying to encourage her friend.

"Goku has a strong will, he would have made an excellent pupil. But he is too headstrong, impatient much like Tao. I tried to train him, mould his natural aptitude for combat, but I was too young and arrogant to temper his ego. He couldn't stand being anything but number one and he certainly didn't care for the 'I told you so' of an older brother. I should have treated him more like a student then a friend. If only I had more time, our similar gifts eventually drove us apart. I must admit I was jealous of his phenomenal strength. It all came so easy to him, our relationship became adversarial; even in the quiet moments we were at odds. The tension built so thick that one day all it took was a ball of spilled rice to break our fragile alliance. The last time we spoke was in anger," Shen thought as he watched Chiaotzu kick Goku around the arena.

"I have to do something, otherwise I feel like my stomach is going to burst," Goku groaned in pain.

"This is becoming embarrassing," Oolong said. Chiaotzu chuckled as he continued to kick Goku around.

"Why is he only kicking me?" Goku thought. After a moment, the answer came to him. "That's it. He isn't using his hands because he can't, he needs them to control his powers. The only problem is, I don't know how to make Chiaotzu use his hands… but maybe I can use my Ki to counteract his powers… After all, there has to be a limit to how much he can control. Here goes nothing," Goku grunted. He flared his Ki to its limit and a shroud of it appeared around his body. Chiaotzu found himself losing control of his opponent and gulped before Goku punched him in the stomach, making him reel back in pain.

"He overpowered Chiaotzu's technique!" Shen shouted in disbelief as Goku charged towards Chiaotzu and attacked him again. Punching him in the face, Goku sent him flying out of the arena and he crashed into the wall before hitting the grass.

"The winner by knockout is Goku!" the announcer shouted and the crowd cheered. Goku grinned as Daisuke jumped over the wall and ran up to Goku.

"Alright Goku, you did it!" she cheered and Goku chuckled.

"I think Goku enjoys the crowd's adulation more than the actual victory itself," Jackie Chun thought as Daisuke and Goku celebrated in the middle of the ring while Shen and Tien growled.

"Chiaotzu! How could you lose to that monkey brat!?" Shen shouted in disappointment.

Later that day, everyone was in Yamcha's hospital room telling him what had happened. "Wow that's amazing. Good job Goku."

"It was nothing. That fight was fun, but I'm a genius with how I beat him," Goku replied grinning. Bulma raised an eyebrow, and he scratched his head sheepishly. "Maybe not that kind of genius, but hey, I won." The others laughed.

Later that night, Daisuke, restless as her mind thought about the fights to come, looked where Goku should have been sleeping. To her surprise, there was no one there. She got up and looked out the window to see Goku sitting on a bench outside of the hotel they were staying at. Seeing her friend stiffen suddenly, she was nevertheless surprised when he called out.

"I know you're there. No point hiding from my nose," he said turning, and the two saw a ninja jump towards Goku. He ducked under a kicked and leapt backwards before jumping. He kicked the ninja who stumbled backwards. "I know your scent, why don't you remove the mask Shen?" he asked, and the ninja removed his mask to reveal Shen who growled at Goku. "Why are you attacking me?"

"The reason is obvious, you murdered my brother!"

"Not on purpose. He attacked me, I defended myself," Goku replied.

"But you were the one who ended his life," Shen accused. "Tao is dead, I don't care how it happened but you will pay," Shen told him. He jumped towards Goku who moved to return the charge, but before either of them could hit the other, Tien appeared between them and stopped their attacks. Goku jumped back and landed on the ground along with Tien and Shen. "Tien, what is the meaning of this?" Shen asked him.

"My apologies master, but this isn't how it should happen," he answered.

"Explain," Shen demanded.

"No one wants to avenge Tao's death more than I. But killing Goku here is not the way to do it; he doesn't deserve a quick death. He deserves to have his friends watch him fall in the ring, broken and humiliated publicly," Tien said.

"Your heart is cold and ruthless, it warms my own," Shen replied. "Very well."

"I am honoured master," Tien said bowing to his master. "And as for you, the next time we meet, it will be for Tao's honour," he told Daisuke.

"I'll fight you, but it'll be for Yamcha," he replied.

"Just don't lose any matches until then," Tien told him. "From what I've seen, you'll be able to defeat the mutt."

"I almost want you to beat Jackie just so I can kick your ass," Goku replied. "And don't underestimate Daisuke." With those final words, he watched Tien and Shen walk away.
