The Final Showdown Begins
I don't own Digimon or Dragonball Z
"I still can't believe it folks, for the first time since I have been the announcer of the Worlds Martial Arts Tournament, both competitors are unable to answer the ten count," the announcer said to the stunned crowd. Goku and Hero lay unconscious in the centre of the arena after their energy waves cancelled each other out. "Therefore, for the first time ever, the next semi-final match between Daisuke and Junior will now be the Championship Round of the Tournament."
"Goku!" Daisuke shouted, jumping down from the roof of the building and landing beside Goku. She helped him to his feet. "Are you alright?"
"Ugh….I'll be fine Daisuke. I'm just exhausted right now, but I'll be back up in a bit," he answered with a grin, making Daisuke smile back.
"You idiot, you could have really hurt yourself and Kami if things went bad."
"Aw come on, it wasn't that bad."
"Yeah right, you're lucky you didn't kill yourself by using up all your Ki in that last attack," Daisuke said, helping off the arena stage to the others.
"What about Kami?" Goku asked, making Daisuke looked over at Hero to see him stir. The man sat up and looked around at the crowd, which began to applaud him much to his visible confusion.
"Did I miss something, is this where the Martial Arts Tournament is?" he asked.
"Yes it is, you must have banged your head pretty hard or something," Daisuke answered, holding back a laugh.
"Uh, I better find a seat," Hero said running off. "This makes no sense! All I was doing was getting some pickles and soda," he mentally rambled.
"Hey dad!" Hero stopped to see a young boy jump out of the crowd. "What a great fight!"
"What?" he asked his son.
"I didn't know you could fight; I have the strongest dad in the world," his son answered happily.
"Next up is the final round as Daisuke and Junior battle for the championship. The most spectacular, unprecedented match is set to take place here today, so get ready! The fight will begin after a ten minute intermission," the announcer said.
"Intermission is for weaklings," Piccolo said, walking off the rooftop.
"I'll be right back," Roshi said before leaving Bulma and the others.
"What was that all about?" Bulma asked.
"How should I know, but he's been leaving every five minutes," Oolong answered.
"Knowing that old man like I do, he's probably gone off to find a date," Launch said, making Oolong laugh.
"Put a sock in it or so help me I will!" Bulma shouted, silencing Oolong.
"Sure, gang up on the pig," he grumbled. A loud rumbling sound echoed throughout the arena as storm clouds gathered, blocking out the sunlight as lightning blasted across the sky.
"Almost fitting that thunderclouds gather right before the next fight," Daisuke said, earning a nod from Goku.
"Are you ready for lots of pain? I do hope that Kami covered that in your training," Piccolo said, appearing beside Daisuke and Goku.
"Oh don't you worry about me. You should be more worried about yourself," Daisuke told him.
"What're you going to do, kill me? That would kill Kami as well. Tough choice isn't it; kill me and Kami along with me. Or allow me to live and risk me killing you, your friends, and conquering the world," Piccolo said before walking away, laughing even as rain began to pour.
"For once, I'm confused Daisuke. Explain," Roshi said, walking over along with the others.
"Yeah, Junior obviously wants to rip you to pieces, so what's the history between you two? Tell us what's going on," Yamcha said.
"I gathered from his bad looks and bad attitude he is one of King Piccolo's tribe," Tien said.
"Come on Daisuke, tell us? Or aren't you allowed to say anything?" Krillin asked the duo.
"Don't be silly," Yamcha said.
"It's complicated to explain guys," Goku said as Daisuke breathed out slowly.
"Junior is King Piccolo," she said.
"But that's impossible Daisuke, I saw you destroy him," Tien said.
"You're right Tien I did kill him," Daisuke replied, thinking back to when she obliterated King Piccolo in their final battle. "But according to Kami, when Piccolo created one final egg before his demise, he put his entire essence into that egg. Junior hatched from it which means he's Piccolo reincarnated. To make matters worse, his power seems to be even greater than what his father's was. One way or another, I have to find a way to defeat him," Daisuke said as lightning arced across the sky again with a thunderous roar.
"I'd never thought we'd have to face another Piccolo; no matter what we do, he always seems to return," Roshi said.
"That is true," Kami said walking towards them causing Tien, Krillin, Yamcha and Roshi to look at him in fear.
"Piccolo…." Roshi whispered.
"That's not King Piccolo Master Roshi, that's Kami. The one who trained Daisuke and I for three years after the death of King Piccolo," Goku told his master.
"That is correct," Kami said.
"But how can we trust him, and where did he come from anyway?" Krillin asked.
"I am the one who possessed Hero so that I could get close to Piccolo. Alas, it seems I underestimated my student's will to win," Kami explained.
"But who are you exactly?" Tien asked.
"Piccolo and I were once one and the same. Piccolo was the evil within my heart, so I cast him out. Thus King Piccolo was born, and it has been that way ever since," Kami said. "We are connected; if one of us dies, than the other will share the same fate."
"But that's crazy," Krillin said.
"It's the truth Krillin," Daisuke told him. "The only way that Piccolo can be defeated is with the Evil Containment Wave. If we kill him, Kami will die."
"Then what do we do?" Krillin asked trembling in fear. "Only Roshi and Tien can use the Evil Containment Wave, but they can still mess it up and die. And fighting him together with our combined strength still wouldn't be enough."
"With all the training me and Dai have been doing, I'm going to have to disagree," Goku said confidently, and Daisuke nodded.
"To bear such a burden upon one's shoulders, it is unfair," Roshi said with sorrow.
"Don't worry Roshi, I know that I can defeat him," Daisuke replied confidently.
"So you have a plan?" Tien asked her.
"Of course, beat Piccolo down until he cannot move even a finger," she answered, making the others sweatdrop.
"So in other words, you have no plan?" Krillin asked, causing Daisuke to pout.
"That was a plan, and it's gonna work. Now if you'll excuse me, I think the intermission is about to end." With that, Daisuke walked off to the arena stage.
"Good luck Daisuke, I believe Junior thinks you are the only threat to his plans of conquering this world," Roshi said.
"That's quite a story," Piccolo said, making everyone except Daisuke look at him leaning against a wall. "When it comes to being a nuisance, Daisuke excels. No one is more troublesome than her. Perhaps your saviour would have a little glimmer of hope had she not been so lazy during her training," he said chuckling, and Daisuke turned to face him. "Your friends think you have skill, but we both know the truth; you were just a little girl who got lucky. But three years is a long time, and I've grown stronger," he told Daisuke, and she almost heard King Piccolo speaking as well.
"You're not the only one," she replied, causing Piccolo to laugh.
"Keep up the brave façade; it's only a matter of time until I send you from this world. It and all your friends will be mine, and there's nothing you can do about it. The intermission is over; come, it is time to fulfil my destiny," he said, walking away as the clouds parted, allowing the sun to shine once again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, your patience is about to be rewarded as the final match of the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin. Please welcome the contestants Junior and the reigning and defending champion from the last tournament, Daisuke Motomiya!" the announcer shouted as the crowd cheered loudly. "Who will be the next master of martial arts?"
"Don't worry about your friends Daisuke; once I kill you, I'll send them into oblivion as well to join you," Piccolo said, walking onto the arena stage.
"Forget about what he said Daisuke, you can beat him," Krillin encouraged her.
"I won't let you down." Daisuke removed her blue shirt showing a tight and form fitting black tank top underneath and handed the shirt to Goku. "I'll be back, I wouldn't want you to become a grieving husband before we're even married," she said before kissing Goku on the lips and walking onto the stage.
"She used weighted clothing as well?" Tien asked Goku who nodded.
"The crowd is getting extremely anxious and it's no surprise. Both of these competitors have one thing in common; they're both super human. Get ready folks, because this fight is going to be a big one," the announcer said.
"You should feel honoured that I am your executioner," Piccolo said, removing his cape and throwing it away.
"Ready on my mark, begin!" the announcer shouted as the gong sounded, causing both Daisuke and Piccolo to roar. They charged towards each other, blocking the other's strike. Daisuke punched with her other hand, but Piccolo blocked and thus began a fierce and even exchange of punches and kicks, Daisuke's friends watching on in worry. Daisuke threw an elbow that was blocked by Piccolo, who then caught her other hand. Pulling his spare fist back, he threw an uppercut, hitting Daisuke in the jaw and sending her flying backwards. However, she flipped and landed on her feet before kicking behind her, hitting Piccolo on the jaw as he appeared there, sending him towards the edge of the stage.
Both Daisuke and Piccolo suddenly became blurs, and continued their fight with the crowd unable to follow. The sounds still echoed through the area along with the fighters' grunting.
"It's an even match," Roshi said.
"You're right," Tien replied, looking into the sky where the fight had moved. Daisuke and Piccolo landed back on the stage, returning to visible view. Piccolo smirked before holding his arm out which suddenly extended towards Daisuke. She caught it and spun around, throwing Piccolo into the air who righted himself. He was unable to gather his bearings because Daisuke thrust her fist upwards at him and an invisible wave of pressure knocked him back. Daisuke jumped into the air and flew towards Piccolo. He smirked, turning and fired an energy blast from his hand, hitting Daisuke directly and sending her falling towards the stage. Immediately afterwards, Piccolo fired another blast, hitting her again. As she neared the stage, he held both hands out and fired rapid fire Ki blasts that bombarded her body and caused debris and smoke to fly everywhere.
When the smoke finally cleared, Daisuke was lying in a crater. Piccolo landed in front of her with a cruel smirk. "It seems that Daisuke is down for the count," the announcer said as he began to the count.
"Daisuke get up!" Krillin shouted in worry.
"Those blasts hit Daisuke straight on," Yamcha said before he noticed Goku smiling. "Why aren't you worried Goku, your fiancée just got blasted point blank."
"Because I know Daisuke, it's going to take much more than that to keep her down."
"I hope you're right Goku," Tien said.
"Nine….." the announcer said, but before he could finish the count Daisuke got to her feet with a smirk.
"I can't believe it, it's like her skin is made of steel I don't see a single scratch on her," Roshi said, astonished.
"I told you she was okay," Goku said, smiling at Daisuke.
"Was that the best you had Piccolo, I'm still standing. The only really damage you did was to my shirt," Daisuke told Piccolo, looking down at her tank top that was slightly torn.
"Playtime is over," Piccolo said, and Daisuke chuckled.
"Your ego is so bloated I'm amazed it fits in the ring. I'm going to enjoy taking you down a few pegs." Piccolo chuckled.
"Why don't you leave the one liners to me?"
"My pleasure."
"That's it Daisuke, keep Piccolo babbling so you can recover," Roshi said.
"Yes, quite clever," Tien agreed with the Turtle Hermit.
"Are you going to keep babbling or can we get back to the fight?" Daisuke asked Piccolo, clenching her fists.
"You should be careful for what you ask for!" Piccolo told her, clenching his own. Both fighters remained still, confusing everyone.
"What're they doing, aren't they supposed to be fighting?" Yamcha asked in growing concern before slowly electricity arched from Daisuke and Piccolo's fists. Both their bodies began to glow, causing the wind to turn into a gale. Wind and electricity erupted from their bodies surrounding them. Both charged, and the barriers surrounding them clashed, fighting for dominance. Both were zapped by the others' barrier. Daisuke screamed pulling her arm back as her Ki began to surround her. The same thing happened with Piccolo who pulled his arm back and roared, throwing it at Daisuke. Both clashed elbows in a flash of light.
Piccolo pulled back before beginning to attack Daisuke with ferocity and incredible speed. Daisuke did the same, and both blocked and dodged. She leaned back, avoiding a punch before throwing her own, but Piccolo avoided it before punching her in the stomach. She rebounded quickly and the exchange continued until Daisuke and Piccolo grabbed the other's hands in a test of strength.
Daisuke's eyes widened as she saw Piccolo's eyes glow red, and she ducked just as Piccolo fired beams of Ki from his eyes before retaliating by kicking Piccolo in the face, making him stumble back. However, he maintained his positon by extending his arms, still holding onto Daisuke's hands. He twisted them, sending Daisuke onto her back. Piccolo lifted her up and slammed her into the ground. She jumped to her feet, breaking free from Piccolo's grip followed by her hitting him in the jaw with her knee. Landing on the ground, she blurred from sight and vanished with a trace.
"Whoa, after an incredible exchange, Daisuke has once again vanished," the announcer said while Piccolo looked around, trying to find Daisuke.
"Good plan for Daisuke to do this, it keeps Piccolo guessing, leaving him unable to retaliate," Roshi said.
"Daisuke is very good at disappearing; her speed is incredible," Tien said, his three eyes looking around for Daisuke.
Piccolo roared, throwing his elbow out to the right and hitting Daisuke who suddenly appeared. The blow struck her face, sending her flying through a wall beside Krillin and the others, causing it to collapse. Piccolo laughed.
"Daisuke, you alright?" Krillin asked before noticing no one was under the rubble. "She's gone again."
"Where is she!?" Piccolo demanded before he heard a whisper behind him.
"Right here." He turned only to be kicked in the face by Daisuke, sending him flying before he flipped and landed on his feet. A moment later he felt Daisuke punch him in the stomach as she appeared in front of him and began to punch Piccolo repeatedly.
"That's it, punch him!" Oolong cheered while Piccolo stumbled backwards. Daisuke appeared behind him, and when he turned around, she jumped and kicked him in the jaw, sending him flying back. He stopped with a flip and jumped into the air, hovering and growling in anger. He wiped blood from his mouth.
"That was one big mistake human!" he roared at Daisuke.
"Like I haven't heard that one before!" she shouted back.
"Up until now I've tolerated your insolent behaviour. Now you must pay, you just sealed the fate of your race!" he shouted, holding his hands out. He cackled evilly while his hands began to glow.
"Stop it, this is between you and me Junior!" Daisuke shouted. "Everyone get down!" she shouted to the people around.
"What's wrong?" Krillin asked.
"Watch as your precious people are crushed under the weight of my blast," Piccolo shouted.
"Leave them alone, it's me you want!" Daisuke told him as he continued to charge his attack laughing madly. "Get down here you coward," she said before flying into the air.
"That's right, look into the eyes of your killer!" Piccolo shouted, firing a massive energy blast which headed right towards Daisuke.
"That's it, aim for me," she said. She caught the blow on her hands. Gritting her teeth at its strength, the beam forced her back to the arena floor and began to push her through the tiles. She a roar of effort, he managed to deflect the blast, causing it to fly towards a nearby mountain range where it erupted in a massive explosion. The ground to shook and when the flash of light faded, a massive cloud of smoke rose into the air before clearing to reveal a gigantic crater and nothing else remaining.
"Why won't she just die?" Piccolo growled as he saw Daisuke land on the stage.
"This is getting way out of hand Junior!" she shouted in anger while the crowd cheered at Daisuke for saving everyone's lives.
"That was only a mere glimpse of my power I can destroy you at any time," Piccolo told her.
"Fine then how about I show you something from me to you. A Super Kamehadoken!" Daisuke replied, cupping her hands. "KA…..ME….." she said as a bright sphere of white light appeared in between her hands.
"A super Kamehadoken?" Yamcha asked in awe.
"Daisuke wait, if you kill Piccolo you'll kill Kami as well!" Roshi warned, and Daisuke looked over at Kami before she growled and nodded, cancelling her attack and causing Piccolo to laugh.
"Too bad you can't kill me Daisuke, but think about it, at least I can kill you instead. Be honest, at times like this you wish you were the bad guy. I am unstoppable, I've already won this battle!" he said, causing Daisuke to snarl. "You stand there so defiant, but I've seen your heart and it bleeds for all these pathetic weaklings who call you hero. You're just as spineless as they are."
"Then come down here and fight me!" Daisuke challenged him.
"Stay calm," Goku said to himself.
"You don't get it, I am the superior being here, so I call the shots. In one fell swoop, I can obliterate your kind off the face of the planet. Afterwards I will usher in a new age where I rule supreme."
"Leave these people alone and come down here if you're so tough," Daisuke challenged.
"They will all die!" Piccolo replied, holding his hands out again as he began to charge another energy blast.
"That energy….watch out Daisuke," Roshi said.
"Damn it, what can I do….I have to risk it. After all, I can use the Dragonballs to restore Kami's life like I did with Goku," Daisuke said before cupping her hands again. "KA…..ME…." once again a bright sphere of white light appeared in between her hands.
"Aren't you forgetting something, you need the Eternal Dragon to make a wish come true and he was destroyed three years ago!" Piccolo roared, firing the huge energy blast right towards Daisuke.
"You're right Junior; however, the dragon was resurrected three years ago once I killed your father. HADOKEN!" Daisuke shouted, firing a gigantic beam of Ki towards Piccolo's attack, and the two beams clashed, battling for dominance. "HAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"How is this possible? I am invincible!" Piccolo shouted as his beam was overpowered by Daisuke's, engulfing him in a brilliant flash of light and destroying the building from the shockwave alone. The flash of light died down, revealing a large cloud of black smoke.
