Goku vs Tien and Krillin vs Hero

I don't own Digimon or Dragonball Z

"Okay folks, the arena is now repaired and we can get on with the next match of Tien Shinhan versus Son Goku," the announcer said, and sure enough some workers had just finished repairing the broken tiles where Yamcha had landed in his fight with Piccolo. "At this time will both fighters please make their way to the arena?"

"Good luck Goku," Daisuke said smiling at her husband-to-be, and Goku returned the smile.

"Thanks, how about a good luck kiss?" he asked chuckling, making Daisuke roll her eyes before she quickly kissed his cheek, causing him to blush.

"Now get going." Goku then walked down to the arena with Tien following. The crowd cheered as both took their places opposite one another.

"I don't think this match is going to be pretty," Oolong said as he watched both men.

"I wonder how strong their training has made them since the last tournament," wondered Roshi as he too was eager to see this match.

"Unlike these dullards, I'm not so easily impressed," Piccolo said, walking off to get a better spot to view the match.

"Those dullards might surprise you," Hero thought with a smile.

"This is a match I've been looking forward to since the last tournament Goku. I want to see just how strong your training with Daisuke made you." Goku chuckled at Tien's comment.

"And now let the match begin!" the announcer shouted, and both men shot towards one another. Tien threw his elbow forwards while Goku raised his knee to block the blow. A quick shift caused Tien to shift into a barrage of fast punches, but Goku dodged each strike before back flipping and jumping into the air. Tien followed a moment later. "It looks like this fight has taken flight," The announcer said as the crowed looked up into the sky. Tien held his hand out and fired a Ki blast towards Goku who swatted it away and chuckled before Tien rocketed towards him at incredible speed. Upon reaching Goku, both began to throw punches at one another.

"Wow, look at them go," Yamcha said as he, Daisuke, and the other remaining participants watched the fight.

"They've certainly gotten a lot stronger since the last tournament that's for sure," Krillin said in agreement, and Daisuke smiled as she watched Goku fight.

"Whoa, using astounding force Tien Shinhan has caught up to Goku, and now the two are trading punches in mid-air!" the announcer shouted as he looked at the fight through a pair of binoculars. The fight continued in the sky until both fighters headed towards the ground, still exchanging blows. As they reached the arena, they jumped away from each other. Landing on their feet, the two charged towards each other again before both vanished from everyone's sight.

"Tien Shinhan, Goku!" Roshi shouted, caught off guard by the two fighters disappearing.

"In a strange twist, both opponents have gone invisible but we can still hear their eerie sounds of combat," the announcer said, and sure enough, the sounds of Goku and Tien fighting echoed around the arena.

"For humans they're awfully imaginative," Piccolo said as he watched the fight continue.

"Where did they go?" Krillin asked, looking around.

"They moved so fast even my ears can't keep up," Yamcha said, while Daisuke smiled as she watched the fight. The two fighters returned to view and grappled in the middle of the arena.

"Whoa, Tien Shinhan and Goku are practically are each other's throats," the announcer said as Goku leaned back and kicked Tien in the midsection, sending him into the air where he vanished and landed on the ground. He charged towards Goku, but the black-haired fighter jumped over Tien and flipped before landing on his feet. Tien suddenly appeared behind him and threw a punch, but Goku vanished, causing Tien to look around before finding Goku standing off to the side.

"About time you found me, did you get lost?" Goku asked with a grin. Tien panted as he regained his breath.

"It doesn't get any more exciting than this folks, Goku and Tien Shinhan standing toe to toe in intense combat. The way it looks now, this match could go either way. Let's just hope they don't disappear again," the announcer said.

"I disagree, one of them clearly comes up short. Tien Shinhan has an uphill battle if he looks to defeat Goku with his usual tactics. Despite all that running around, he hasn't lost his breath," Roshi said. "He has learned to control his energy, conserving just enough to stay ahead of Tien. Such power, if I weren't wearing glasses I'd wouldn't believe my eyes."

Goku ran towards Tien and threw a series of punches and kicks, but Tien blocked or dodged each strike before vanishing and appearing behind Goku. As he threw chops at Goku, the black-haired fighter was forced on the defensive. Tien abruptly found himself surprised as Goku jumped over him and landed before shooting towards himself. Goku rammed his head into Tien's stomach, sending Tien crashing into a wall. Running towards Tien, the man burst out of the rubble just in time to grab Goku and deliver a head-butt, him sending crashing through the opposite wall. The crowd cheered while Goku held his head.

"I never knew your hard head could be so painful," he groaned, looking at Tien.

"The most effective weapons are those that are least expected," Tien replied before running towards Goku. He blurred from sight and appeared right in front of Goku who slid under his legs and grabbed his ankles, forcing Tien to land on his hands. Tien twisted his body around and flipped Goku, and throwing him away. Goku flipped, landed on his feet, and jumped over Tien, placing his hand on his head and causing Tien to growl. He tried to hit Goku, but missed and his opponent grabbed him from behind, causing the duo to swap positions.

"It appears that this fight will be decided by the one who has the strongest will to win," the announcer said as both Goku and Tien began to glow, the ground cracking beneath them. A flash of light emanated from Tien, throwing both fighters away from each other, and the crowd cheered as both landed on their feet.

"The crowd seems entertained, but they wouldn't know a good fight if it kicked them in the head," Piccolo grumbled.

"Well done, I'm amazed by your level of skill. You were already near perfection three years ago, but now it seems your training with Daisuke has increased your skill level beyond that of what you were last time," Tien complimented.

"Thanks, but you should really save that praise for yourself," Goku replied.

"But seriously, there is one skill I've improved upon that you can't even keep up with, and it just so happens that it is the most important for a successful attack," Tien told Goku who looked slightly worried. "And that is the skill of speed!" With that, Tien jumped high into the air and Goku followed shortly after.

"There they go again," Bulma said as she watched them both jump into the air.

"Once more Tien Shinhan and Goku take their battle to the skies!" the announcer shouted as Goku reached above the clouds, looking around for Tien but unable to find them. Suddenly he turned and threw a kick at an attacking, Tien but he vanished before he could be hit.

"Your eyes are still working Goku," Tien said, appearing behind Goku who turned to look at him just before he vanished and appeared again somewhere else. "I'm impressed, I'm moving at terrific speeds and yet your eyes are still able to track me. But just because you can see me doesn't mean you can react in time." Goku turned just in time to see Tien drop an elbow into the back of his neck, causing him to fall down to the arena with a crash. Tien appeared and began to attack Goku who was unable to keep up with the newfound speed of Tien. He was then kneed in the face, sending him flying towards one side of the arena where Tien charged after him. Goku flipped over him again, but he was unable to rest or react as Tien was once again on the attack. He blurred from view several times before striking Goku.

Goku vanished from sight, but Tien was still able to attack him until Goku tripped and landed on his back. Barely managing to dodge Tien's blows, Goku was still able to grab his ankle and threw Tien into the sky. Tien vanished again before appearing behind Goku and kicking him, sending him flying towards the edge of the arena.

"Goku!" Krillin shouted.

"He'll be thrown out of bounds!" Yamcha added, but Goku spun around like a top and landed on the arena safe, and the crowd cheered.

"Goku, take them off!" Daisuke shouted to her fiancée, who turned to her.

"Are you sure Dai?" he asked, and she nodded.

"It is obvious that Tien's speed is greater than the last tournament, you'll need all the advantages you can get in this match."

"She has a point Goku. Face the facts; your body is slower than mine. We both know that I will win this match," Tien said. "I'm not bragging it's simply a fact."

"I admit I'm not as fast as I can be, but if you'll give me a minute…." Goku said, and Tien nodded, allowing him to continue.

"Suit yourself, if you're going to lose you might as well be comfortable," he told Goku who chuckled as he began to remove his black undershirt. It was a visible struggle.

"That's a first, Goku's struggling to lift a shirt," Krillin said, perplexed.

"Maybe the heat has gotten to him," Yamcha suggested, but Daisuke merely smiled as Goku dropped the shirt, causing the tiles it landed on to crack. Tien looked at the shirt, stunned.

"Goku do you mind if I look at your shirt?" Tien asked, and Goku nodded. Tien knelt down and picked up the shirt, but was surprised at its weight. "This thing weighs a ton, have you been wearing this for the entire tournament?"

"Yup, it was part of my training that I went thought with Daisuke and Kami," Goku answered, dropping his wristbands which were also heavier than normal. "It's not much different than Master Roshi's style, he wore a big turtle shell to gain strength. It's pretty much the same principle here."

"Your wristbands and your boots as well?" Tien asked in surprise, picking up both items of clothing.

"Can you two continue the fight? This is a tournament," the announcer told them.

"What're you guys doing?" Krillin asked as he and Yamcha ran over. "Don't worry about this stuff, we'll take care of it," he told Goku, picking up one of the boots, or at least attempting to.

"This is unlike any shirt I've ever seen before," Yamcha said holding Goku's shirt.

"How do you walk in these things?" Krillin asked Goku.

"It wasn't easy; those boots are about twenty kilos each," he answered. "My wristbands are five kilos each, and my shirt is fifty kilos,"

"That's a hundred kilos! I don't believe this guy, he'll do anything to get stronger. I wonder if Daisuke is also wearing weighted clothing," Tien thought.

"It took me a long time for me and Daisuke to carry that much; in the beginning, we both struggled to carry a few rocks," Goku said, stretching his arms and back. "But it was all worth it. Now that I'm not wearing that weight I feel lighter than a feather," he said jumping into the air. He ran around the arena and threw punches and kicks at incredible speed, shocking everyone.

"I wonder how they'll react when they learn my clothes are even heavier." Daisuke thought with a grin. "Having an enhanced bone structure is a nice perk."

"Let's go," Goku said with a grin.

"Impressive, I've never known you to show off," Tien said as the two fighters took their stances.

"The fight is back on!" the announcer shouted. Tien charged towards Goku and threw a punch, but he blurred from sight. Despite turning swiftly, Tien barely managed to lift an elbow to block Goku's own elbow strike.

"I have to congratulate you; that is, I would if I was impressed by your new speed. All that training and I'm still one step ahead of you," Tien told Goku who smirked.

"Are you sure about that?" he asked, holding up a red belt. "This belt does belong to you right?" Tien blushed before looking down to see his pants fall down, revealing his white boxers. The crowd laughed.

"What's going on here!? You stole my belt right from under me?" he asked, pulling his pants up.

"Unbelievable," Krillin said while Daisuke laughed at Tien's predicament.

"Doesn't make sense; no matter how fast he moved I should have seen him," the tri-clops thought until he remembered how Goku blurred from sight just after Tien attacked him. "I was wrong, I allowed my arrogance to blind me," he said to Goku. "I have never known a man or beast that can move as swift as you, but if you think that alone will aid you, you're sadly mistaken. Tien Shinhan will fall before no man," he then took a step before his pants fell and he tripped, causing the crowed to blush and laugh as Tien pulled his pants up.

"Here, you might have better luck if you get dressed." Goku handed the belt back to Tien who grabbed it and walked off.

"I don't need your help, just you wait, I have yet to play my best card," he told Goku.

"What do you mean? Are you planning to use the volleyball technique again or the tri-beam?" "No, I want to defeat you in this match, not blow you to a million pieces," he answered. "Besides, with that incredible speed you'd dodge the blast. What I have in mind isn't as destructive as the tri-beam, but its close enough."

"I'm not worried," Goku replied casually.

"You will not escape," Tien told him.

"Tien sounds serious," Yamcha said as Tien and Goku jumped into the air and punched one another, but the punches clashed, causing the fighters to land at their opponent's starting position. "My mistake was to believe that three eyes would catch you. These eyes have failed, so if three won't win this fight, then I will use twelve. They will see you fall."

"Twelve eyes? Make your move," Piccolo thought.

"I'm sorry, but this is the way it must be," Tien told Goku as he grunted in effort and his body began to glow.

"Is it just me, or is Tien beginning to glow?" Yamcha asked.

"I see it too, it's like he's on fire," Krillin answered as Daisuke saw Tien split into two.

"If you think that's something wait until you see what is next," Tien said as both copies then split again, now leaving four copies of Tien.

"Nice move, finally some entertainment," Piccolo said chuckling.

"Incredible," Krillin murmured.

"Tien Shinhan has split into four, presumably by use of the afterimage technique," the announcer said.

"No, not the afterimage technique, this is completely different," Daisuke thought, watching the four clones attack Goku. The fighter dodged the strikes, but was clearly pressed by the sheer number of incoming attacks. Eventually he faltered, and one Tien kicked him in the chest.

"What in the world, that's not the afterimage technique," Yamcha said.

"Those punches felt real, images can't hurt people," Goku said, holding his stomach.

"Goku, watch out it's not an illusion, they're solid clones," Daisuke warned him.

"That's right, this is my ultimate technique; quadruplication," the four Tien clones said at once.

"Quadruplets, wow," Launch said.

"Hello Launch, didn't you hear him say quadruplication? It's a technique," Bulma told the blonde.

"There is a new spin on an old classic," Roshi thought.

"How'd you do that?" Goku asked Tien who chuckled.

"Right now you must be thinking how will I be able to defeat four Tiens? Well the answer is quite simple, you're not going to!" one of the clones shouted before all four charged Goku. Goku blocked a kick from one, but was kicked in the jaw by another and he flipped back.

"I'm right behind you Goku!" one Tien shouted, and Goku spun around to face him. Even as he turned, a strike sent a burst of pain through his back and he was knocked forwards. The Tien now in front of him slammed a punch into Goku's stomach, sending him skidding across the ground.

"Oh that does not look good. It looks like four Tien Shinhans are better than one. Goku looks like the beating he just received took more out of him than first thought," the announcer spoke as Goku got to his feet slowly, holding his side.

"Charge!" the four Tiens shouted, but Goku vanished and the four stopped and looked around.

"Over here!" Goku shouted, and the four clones turned around. Goku kicked one in the stomach, sending it crashing into the other three and knocking them down.

"Nice work, you caught us off guard with your speed. But with all four of us looking at you at the same time, you won't be so lucky." With that, the four Tiens each ran to one of the four corners of the arena.

"What is he doing?" Goku asked, looking at each Tien carefully. "What're you doing Tien?" He noticed the four clones each holding one of their arms up, and Piccolo smirked as he watched.

"Now!" one Tien shouted as the four clones fired a beam of energy towards Goku. Trapped with almost nowhere to go, Goku was forced to move in the only direction still left to him. The four beams collided, creating an explosion and a mushroom cloud. When the smoke cleared, there was nothing but a crater.

"Where'd he go, I don't see him at all, do you?" Krillin asked while the four Tiens looked into the sky.

"There!" one shouted.

"Focus!" another shouted before the four all fired beams of Ki from their third eyes into the sky. Everyone watched in worry as the four beams hit something and they heard Goku scream. He fell from the sky through the clouds he was hiding behind.

"How did he find Goku hiding in those clouds?" Krillin asked as Goku hit the arena hard, and Daisuke gasped, covering her mouth in shock.

"Game over," one of the clones said before he and his copies turned and walked away, but they stopped as they heard Goku shout.

"Ow!" They turned to see Goku rubbing his head in pain before he got to his feet and chuckled.

"This can't be…" one of the Tiens said in shock.

"That was a good one Tien, I'm a little sore."

"A little?" one clone asked.

"I have a feeling if we dropped an entire city on him all he would get would be a headache," another said.

"Careful, this time you won't walk away," Tien warned.

"Funny, but there won't be a second time; you won't use the same trick twice," Goku replied.

"You sure?" Tien asked as Goku stretched again.

"Yet again Goku has done the impossible. He is an honest man, but to the laws of physics he is a wanted man. As I've watched him grow over the years, it seems what makes him so special isn't his strength or speed, but his endurance; nobody can break him," Roshi thought.

"I respect you Goku, but I will win at any cost," Tien told his opponent who shrugged. "Are you really going to just shrug, I'm trying to tell you that you are in danger. You stay in this fight, I will hurt you or worse."

"I already found two weak spots in your strategy Tien, I'll be fine," Goku told him, and Tien growled.

"My technique was perfect, you don't know what you're talking about."

"Try it one more time Tien, then you'll see what I mean."

"Oh I'll do it again alright, but this time I'll use my full power. I tried to do the right thing and give you a way out of this, but you turned it down now the consequences are on your head."

"What weak spots is he talking about?" Krillin asked Yamcha.

"Maybe he hit his head harder than we thought," he answered while Daisuke shook her head.

"No, Goku's right, there are weak spots to Tien's technique. And Tien can't see them, not yet anyway."

"What're you guys waiting for, let's get this over with," Goku told the four Tien clones.

"Fine!" they shouted, running to the four corners of the arena.

"Will Goku have better luck this time, or will this move put Tien back in the winner circle?" the announcer asked.

"Now!" one clone shouted, and he along with the other three clones fired a beam of Ki right towards Goku. Again he jumped into the air, and flew right into the path of the sun.

"You can't escape us Goku!" Tien shouted as the four clones fired a Ki blast from their third eyes right towards Goku.

"I think otherwise," Goku said as he held his hands up to his face. "Solar Flare!" A bright flash of light emanated from Goku and blinded everyone except the glasses wearing Roshi and the announcer, while the four Tiens covered their eyes from the bright light.

"This is weak spot number one, your eyesight is a little too good," Goku said as he landed back on the arena.

"It seems that Daisuke isn't the only one apart from me to use the Solar Flare technique," one Tien said as he began to punch and kick at Goku with his eyes closed, but Goku dodged each strike and ran circles around Tien. "This was a bad idea Goku, you have to rely on your eyesight same as me, which means you're also at a disadvantage."

"I disagree, there are two of you behind me right? One is leading a knife-hand attack while the other is performing a right roundhouse kick."

"You guessed, how can you be sure?" Tien asked him as the flash of light began to die down.

"Lesson finished, I assume you can see clearly again? Good, then I won't need to hold back any longer," Goku said, confusing Tien.

"Holding back, how can you have been doing that while you were losing?" one clone asked.

"Your second weak spot hurts you the most, it's what cost you this match." Goku shot towards one of the clones and punched him in the stomach before the clone could react. In an instant Goku ran towards another clone and kicked him several times in the mid-section, sending him flying, before moving towards the third clone and blurring from sight. He kicked him in the stomach before punching the last clone, sending them all flying out of the ring and landing in a pile, shocking the audience before the four clones turned back into one Tien. "That's an impressive technique, I would have loved to use it on some enemies I fought, but I don't think it works in a fight like this. Not only were you split into fourths, but so was your strength."

"Good reasoning, nice to know Goku sharpened on more than just his fighting skills," Roshi thought.

"Way to go Goku," Daisuke said with a smile.

"I won't pretend I'm not wounded, but it's only my pride," Tien told Goku as the two shook hands and the crowd cheered.

"The winner of the match is Goku!" the announcer shouted over the thunderous applause.

"Alright Goku!" Krillin cheered, followed by Yamcha while Daisuke smiled happily as Goku walked over to her, and she kissed his cheek.

"That was amazing, you almost had me worried a couple of times," she told him.

"The winner of the match is Goku!" the announcer shouted over the thunderous applause.

"Alright Goku!" Krillin cheered as did Yamcha while Daisuke smiled happily as Goku walked over to her. She kissed his cheek.

"That was amazing, you almost had me worried a couple of times," she told him.

"Aw it was nothing," he replied.

"And now ladies and gentlemen, we are now on to the last of the quarter-final matches; Krillin versus Hero!" the announcer shouted, and the crowd cheered as Krillin stretched.

"Wish me luck," he told his friends walking onto the arena.

"I almost feel sorry for that guy fighting Krillin," Bulma said.

"Wow, so many people," Hero said as he walked down the steps to the arena.

"I guess they'll let anyone fight these days," one member in the crowd said, looking at Hero scratching his head.

"This won't take long," Yamcha said watching Krillin take his spot opposite Hero who bowed to him.

"I am honored to be able to fight you," he said.

"Uh no problem," Krillin replied.

"I feel bad for Krillin, there is no way he'll win," Yajirobe said as he watched the fight.

"And begin!" the announcer shouted as Hero took a stance. He made silly Kung Fu sounds, making Krillin sweatdrop.

"This guy is something else," he thought. "Uh… feel free to attack me at any time," he told Hero who looked at him.

"Okay, I appreciate your kindness."

Behind the arena, Daisuke had a serious look on her face as she watched the fight intently.

"Is something the matter Daisuke?" Tien asked, looking at her in concern.

"I'm fine, I just have a strange feeling about Hero." Her words caused Yamcha and Tien to stare at her.

"What're you talking about? The guy is a goofball, what's there to be worried about?" Yamcha asked.

"Something is off. Can't you see it? No one that pathetic would make it to the finals. Sure he never had to face us, but we were not the only capable martial artists there" Yamcha and Tien frowned in thought, but pushed it away to watch the confrontation in front of them.

"That's it for the warm up, I'm ready to go," Hero told Krillin.

"Alright, go ahead, let's see what you got," he replied. Hero made stupid noises and ran around Krillin as the crowd laughed. After a few moments, Hero ran towards Krillin and swung his Krillin dodged easily and Hero stumbled and fell to the ground. Even as he did so, his leg flailed and kicked Krillin in the stomach, catching him off guard and making the bald martial artist clutch it.

"Lucky shot," Krillin said as the crowd laughed loudly. "But hey, with moves like that, who knows what's next."

"Oh, yes, thank you…wait, I mean sorry… no I'm embarrassed," Hero spluttered.

"It should be me who is embarrassed, I should end this fight while I still have some credibility…ugh I'm beginning to sound like Yamcha," Krillin thought. "Let's get back to the fight, okay Hero?"

"Uh sure," Hero said, nodding.

"I don't want to hurt the guy. I'll just kick him out of the ring." With that, Krillin jumped towards Hero and threw a kick, but Hero ducked. A sickening crunch filled the air as Krillin's groin smashed into the top of Hero's head, making his eyes grow wide for a moment. A second later he screamed in pain and fell to the ground, holding his unmentionables while the crowd once again laughed.

"Oh that's gotta hurt, who would have thought Krillin could fall victim to circumstance for a second time? So much for experience; at this rate, accident prone Hero will win in no time. Since this is a self-inflicted injury, we will forgo the ten-count to allow Krillin to recover," the announcer said sniggering.

"Poor Krillin," Yamcha said.

"An accident? Perhaps, but even if it was in a sensitive spot, an ordinary person would have difficulty causing that much pain to a martial artist like Krillin," Daisuke thought, eyeing Hero carefully.

"Say that was a toughie, maybe you should have warned up first. I can give you a few pointers," Hero told Krillin who had jumped to his feet, blushing in embarrassment.

"I thought that this would be my chance to show everyone what I could do. This is not how I wanted things to go," he thought. "I appreciate the concern, but as you can see, I'm in fantastic shape!" he told Hero.

"Oh I understand. Accidents happen to me all the time, it must be very difficult struggling in ones chosen profession," Hero said laughing.

"You seem awfully confident for someone who isn't a martial artist. You don't expect to beat me do you?" Krillin asked him. "Get real, you'd need a miracle."

"Miracles happen every day. Besides, what you see isn't always what you get," Hero said. "And I've done a pretty good job so far."

"Well when it comes to luck you're powerful," Krillin replied.

"Thanks. Now are you ready for a secret?" Hero asked before blurring from sight and reappearing just as he slugged Krillin across the face, sending him flying through the air. The crowd went silent while those who knew Krillin were shocked.

"Who are you?" Krillin asked, getting to his feet.

"You were paying so much attention to my theatrics, you never realized the subtle moves I was making. Didn't your master ever tell you not to judge power based on appearance?" Hero asked. "If you take nothing else from this fight, remember the golden rule; perception is a great defense."

"I was right, it's all an act. I bet even his name is phony," Yajirobe said.

"I get it now, very clever," Krillin said. "You even fooled me."

"Yeah, I'm good," Hero replied.

"Yeah, good at lying. But I'll show you that a real martial artist doesn't need those tricks," Krillin said.

"Oh well, we'll do it your way, it's much more entertaining," Hero said as Krillin charged and began to unload a flurry of punches. "Oh, and remember this…" Hero kicked Krillin in the leg, stopping his offence. "Never leave your feet unprotected."

"Who is this guy, where'd he come from?" Roshi asked. He wasn't the only one shocked at Hero's abilities; the entire crowd was gaping at the struggle.

"I don't believe it, the fight has turned in Hero's favor; how is this possible?" Yamcha asked as Krillin attacked Hero again, only to be elbowed in the jaw. The blow caused him to stumble, holding the side of his face.

"He fights like a master," Tien thought watching the fight.

"Hurry up Krillin and take the old man down!" Launch shouted.

"I don't think it is up to Krillin, he simply has more than he bargained for in Hero," Roshi told her.

"Aw, you look spent; maybe you should take a moment," Hero said, causing Krillin to growl. He lunged at Hero with a flying kick, but Hero disappeared, making Krillin look around. "I'm right behind you little man." With that, Hero appeared behind Yamcha and kneed him in the back, sending him crashing to the ground.

"This isn't good," Tien said. Goku nodded along with Daisuke while Krillin struggled to his feet.

"Krillin can't be defeated like this, get up!" Goku shouted.

"Don't pity me, I don't need it!" Krillin growled.

"You're absolutely right, what you need is good coaching," Hero said. "You're out of your league, I'm much stronger than you. Just between you and me, I'm not from around here," he whispered.

"No one is from around here," Krillin said.

"No that's not what I mean. I'm not from this planet, I'm a visitor," Hero said.

"You look pretty human to me," Krillin replied.

"Oh this is just a body, what you might call rented space. I inhabit this body," Hero said.

"He's an alien," Daisuke said, managing to hear Hero's and Krillin's conversation.

"He said that?" Yamcha asked.

"I can't hear anything," Goku answered, making Daisuke roll her eyes. "What's an alien doing here on Earth?"

"I don't know, but I doubt it's to simply win a tournament," Daisuke answered.

"Right thanks for the confession but it doesn't matter where you're from, it doesn't change the outcome of this fight," Krillin told Hero. "Now then, prepare for my ultimate attack." He took a stance and he bent down and brought his arms to his sides and his hands began to glow.

"Well don't go to too much trouble," Hero told him.

"What does he plan to do with that energy?" Goku asked Daisuke.

"Don't know, but it isn't the Kamehameha or any other energy attack that I'm familiar with," she answered just before Krillin threw his hands forward and fired two reddish-orange energy waves towards Hero. He easily dodged with a leap to the side, but the two waves turned around and headed towards Hero again who ran off as the attack chased him. He jumped into the air and the waves followed. Once he landed on the ground again, Krillin brought his arms down and the waves crashed into the stage in an explosion, throwing Hero off his feet. Krillin chuckled before Hero righted himself and charged towards him, elbowing him in the chest and sending him flying through the air until he hit the arena wall and landed on the grass.

"He…he lost…." Yamcha said, stunned.

"Uh…the winner is Hero!" the announcer shouted, and the crowd cheered.

"No way," Goku said in shock while Daisuke frowned and looked at Hero before gasping.

"I can't believe it, I know him, I've seen his true face before." she thought as Hero smiled and walked past her. He winked while Krillin walked back, his head hung in shame.

"I can't believe I lost to him," he said.

"Hey don't worry buddy, you were great," Goku praised him.

"I guess so," he replied, while Daisuke looked at Hero who once again winked at her.

"I know who you are….Kami," she thought, watching Hero walk away.
