The fight

Okay, here's chapter twenty under the new name. Now, to get a couple things over with:

Disclaimer: Do I own them? Hmph, I wish.

Note#1: Like I said in the previous chapter, I won't explain when it's a narrator's POV (Point of view) unless I think it's really necessary. And, from now on, whenever I'm just switching POV's in a section , I'll make a *~*. Don't worry, I think you'll understand better when you come to it.

Note#2: I need some people to help me with a couple things, look below for some details.

Note#3: Little reminder, words in mean they're spoken in Saiyan.

Dragonball GS Chapter 20:
The Fight


**Early at the Son residence...**

Goku tip-toed up to Goten's room. He knocked quietly. When he didn't get a response he opened the door. He walked over to Goten and shook him.



No response.



Still no response. Finally Goku gave up.



Goten sat up surprised and saw Goku's dark figure standing over him. (Of course, he didn't recognize him in the dark.)

Goku clamped a hand over Goten's mouth to quiet him.

Goten it's just me. Goku whispered.

Oh, heh... Goten relaxed.

C'mon, get up. We're supposed to watch that fight. Goku said quietly.

Oh yeah. What time is it? Goten asked, getting up and over to his closet.



4:30?! Why are we going over so early? Goten asked, pulling on his usual clothes.

Vegeta said to be there early and I have a feeling Anija's going to. Goku stated, walking over to the window.

Yeah, true. Uh Dad, what are you doing? Goten said. Goku was opening the window.

We're going to fly. Goku said.

You can teleport remember?

Oh yeah, heh, guess I forgot again. Goku said sheepishly. Goten sighed as he put a hand on Goku's shoulder. Goku put his index and middle fingers up to his head and they vanished from the room.

**Meanwhile, at Trunks and Anija's place...**

I pulled on a green gi, I wasn't even going to try to fight in tight clothes, that might slow me down. I tied the belt around my waist and let my tail hang free.

~Should I go through with this?~ I asked myself. My mind seemed to yell an answer. ~Of course! I can't live around here if Vegeta doesn't loose that attitude towards me, I have to do this!~ I nodded to myself.

I pulled my hair back into a loose pony tail. Trunks walked up behind me. He put a hand on my shoulder and turned me to face him.

Are you ready for this? Trunks asked.

I nodded.

Well, if you're sure, He started nervously.

You don't have to watch, I can do this by myself. I interrupted.

No, I'll come. I just don't want you to get hurt.

I don't want to leave this place Trunks. I've been here too long for that, and I couldn't leave you. If this is the only way your dad will see that then I'll do it, I said, I just hope I can take it, I muttered.

He looked at me quietly for a minute. Fine, c'mon, let's go. He said and walked out front. I followed quickly.

**At Capsule Corp...**

Where are Anija and Trunks? Goten asked.

They should be here-... Oh, here they come right now. Goku said as he sensed the approaching ki's.

Goten nodded. He looked over to the front door of Capsule Corp. As if on cue Vegeta walked out, looking stern and ready to kill something. (Or at least hurt it really bad) He was wearing Saiyan armor (Bulma had duplicated it but also made it stronger) and his usual blue spandex-like training suit underneath.

*~*

Hey Goten, Trunks waved as we approached. Goten flashed a goofy grin and gestured for us to land next to him.

'Morning, Goten said when we landed.

I just gave a small nod as an answer.

She looks serious. Goten whispered to Trunks.

Yeah, she's been like that since last night. Trunks said.

Are we here to blab or fight? Vegeta snapped. I looked over to him and narrowed my eyes.

I'm here to fight. I replied, balling my hands into fists.

Vegeta looked over to Goku, What are you doing here, Kakarot? He asked.

I'm just here to make sure nobody gets too carried away. Goku replied.

Vegeta Hmph'ed. Just then the Capsule Corp door swung open and Bulma came out carrying another set of Saiyan armor. We all looked at her.

Here, Anija, take this. I replicated Vegeta's armor. She said. I took it from her.

Uh... Thanks. I replied, looking at it in my hand. The armor was a different color than Vegeta's. Mine was mostly black and green.

Well... Aren't you gonna put it on? Bulma asked.

Umm, okay. I replied. I slipped the armor over my head and adjusted it a bit. I wrapped my tail around the waist of the armor. It felt weird to be wearing it but I figured it couldn't hurt.

Oh, here's the gloves. Bulma said, tossing the gloves to me.

~What's she trying to do? Make me look like Vegeta?~ I thought. Thanks, Bulma, I said and slipped the gloves on.

Vegeta just glared. C'mon, we haven't got all day you know! Vegeta said rudely.

Well you shouldn't fight here, let's go where there aren't so many people or buildings. Goku said.

Fine, c'mon. Vegeta said and lifted up into the air. We all went up after him. He headed away from the city and towards the forest.

Where's he going, Dad? Goten asked.

Our usual sparring grounds. Goku answered.

You guys have a certain spot? Trunks asked.

Yeah, you have your own too, don't you? Goku replied.

Oh yeah, heh. Trunks said.

We were quiet for the rest of the way. I kept my eyes on Vegeta and slowed as he lowered himself to the ground. By the way the ground was scarred and the surroundings were blackened I could tell that Goku and Vegeta did spar here. I looked around as I landed, taking in the trees and rocks, looking to see what could prove advantages and disadvantages.

Trunks landed next to me. Good luck, Anija. He said in my ear.

I replied, focusing my attention to Vegeta.

Vegeta sneered at me, Ready weakling? He asked, now speaking Saiyan.

Of course. I replied.

We got into our fighting stances.

Wait a sec, Goku said just before we started.

Both Vegeta and I said at the same time.

I think we should establish some ground rules for this fight, Goku started. He paused then continued, You both know this shouldn't be a fight to the death so there should be a time limit.

Time limit? Vegeta asked.

Yes. I think thirty minutes should be enough. Goku said.

Fine. That's all I'll need to finish her. Vegeta said.

Oh really? Prove it. I said.



Okay, Trunks, you have a watch? Goku asked.

Oh uh, yeah, I'll set it. Trunks said, messing with his watch, All set.

Ready? Thirty minutes, starting.... now! Goku said. He floated into the air, Goten and Trunks followed him.

I stood looking at Vegeta for a moment. He smirked then vanished. I turned around instinctively and blocked his punch to my head.

You'll have to do better than that! I said, slipping back into Saiyan.

I smirked. My move. I flipped back to a rock. I moved behind him quickly and went to punch him in the back. He turned and kicked my hand down.

And that was better? He asked sarcastically.

I jumped back and prepared to attack again. Vegeta charged towards me then vanished a couple feet in front of me. I turned around expecting to see him, but found nothing.

~Where the hell is he? I've got to focus.~ I thought.

*~*

Goku cupped his hand over Trunks' mouth.

Let her fight her own battles Trunks. Goku said.Trunks pushed Goku's hand away.

But I-

Just watch. Goku said turning his attention back towards the fight.

*~*

~Where the f-~ My thoughts were interrupted by a ki blast to my back.

I was thrown a few feet but quickly regained my balance. I turned around to see the arrogant Prince.

Hmph. You scraped my armor, how rude. I said, sarcastically.

Vegeta smirked and hovered close to the ground. I looked up to Goku, Goten and Trunks who motioned for me to focus on the fight. I looked back over to Vegeta and noticed he had gone Super Saiyan. Before I could really power up he fired a rather large ki blast at me. I was too surprised at the speed to counter so I put up my arms to block. His blast hit and started pushing me back.

~So maybe the gloves were a good thing.~ I thought.

I glanced behind me and noticed I was getting too close to some rocks.

*~*

Watch out for the- Trunks started.

*~*

::Crash!!::
I squeezed my eyes shut as pieces of rock flew from behind me. When the rocks settled I slowly stood and wiped a trickle of blood from my mouth. Vegeta smirked.

~Screw ki attacks!~ I thought.

I yelled in rage and quickly transformed to my first level. (I need to think up a name for that) I lunged at Vegeta and proceeded to cover him in a barrage of various kicks and punches. Some were blocked but many of my punches connected. I reached my hand out and slapped him across his face. He pulled back from me, breathing hard and glaring. He reached up and wiped a bit of blood from his cheek.

Figures, a bitch slap from a bitch. He said.

What? Aren't you used to being slapped? After all, Bulma can't think you're that good in bed. I smirked at my insult, which was probably a mistake on my part.

A vein protruded on Vegeta's forehead and he started to breath heavy. He yelled as he went to his next stage.

~Uh-oh.... I think I pissed him off.~ I thought.

Before I had a chance to go to my second level Vegeta was in my face.

Stupid Woman! Never speak like that to me! He yelled.

I doubled over when he brought his knee to my gut. He grabbed my shoulders and hurtled me toward the ground. I tired to control my ki enough to fly but I blacked out. I smashed into the ground and skidded along for a couple yards. When I finally stopped I groaned and looked up to Vegeta. He hovered about twenty feet above me with his hands aimed directly towards me.

~MOVE!~ My mind yelled.

I rolled to my right just before a bright yellow blast smashed into the ground.

~That could've been me, I've got to be more careful.~ I told myself.

I got back up and hovered to Vegeta's level.

You missed, Veggie. I snickered.

Believe me, it won't happen again. Vegeta threatened.

Twenty minutes! Goku called to us.

I nodded and glared at Vegeta.

Only twenty minutes Veg-head, better hurry.

Hmph, I could do it in ten. He bragged.

Really? Wanna prove it then? I taunted.

Brat! Take ten minutes off the time! Vegeta ordered Trunks.

Trunks looked confused,

That's all the time I need! Vegeta said, almost growling when he looked at me.

Trunks fiddled with his watch again, Uh... Okay, you have ten minutes to go.

I smirked, Oh, so you're actually going to try it? Ha, this oughtta be good.

*~*

Why did he want to cut his time? Goten asked.

He thinks he can beat her in ten minutes. Goku said, stating the obvious.

They both looked at Trunks who was concentrating.

I just hope that's enough time for her. Trunks said quietly.

Of course, the two Saiyans heard him easily.

She's a good fighter, she's also a very distractive talker. Goku said.

Huh? Distractive talker? Goten asked.

Haven't you noticed how she keeps talking to Vegeta? Almost like delaying him. A good strategy when working in a time frame. Goku said.

Trunks looked surprised, Oh yeah, she has been doing that.

*~*

Laugh now weakling, but you're the one who's going to be sorry. Vegeta said.

Sorry about what? Humiliating you in front of them? I teased, gesturing towards the bystanders.

Like you could. You have to resort to delays to win, that's why you're talking and not fighting.

~Crap, I knew he figure that one out. Awe well, I guess it's back to fighting.~ I thought.

Fine, bring it on Vegeta.

Gladly.

He vanished from in front of me. I charged up a ki blast and turned, sensing his movement behind me. I fired the blast as soon as I saw him. It hit but he quickly countered with a separate blast. They met and I struggled to keep mine matched, after all, he was at level two with me at level one.

I've got to move up a level or I'm going to eat dirt!~ I thought, ~But I can't unless I get really mad, crap!~

My blast began to retreat towards me. I pumped as much energy into it as I could making sure to save plenty for other attacks. Sudden;y I flashed back to my previous fight with Vegeta. Rage swept over my body as I tensed. I could feel my muscles straining against my skin and increasing in size.

I screamed as my body went into it's second level.
I opened my eyes and noticed that, just like last time, my sight was tinted red. I felt my hair brush the back of my legs and saw that it was a deep blood red.

~Finally, my second level!~ I thought.

I smirked and dodged out of the way of Vegeta's blast. I appeared behind him and punched at the side of his head. There was a dull crack when my fist connected and Vegeta started to fall towards the ground. I raced underneath him and charged up another ki attack.

Latyce Flare!! I yelled and cupped my hands together.
The orange blast rocketed up and shot into his back. He flew up a bit from the blast but quickly recovered.

~Damn~ I thought.

Thought you had me? Vegeta taunted.

I almost did.

Don't flatter yourself.

Just shut up and go, Veggie.

He lunged towards me. I put up my fists to block but the attack didn't come from the front. I turned in just enough time to see Vegeta appear behind me. He clamped on to my arms and put his hand on the base of my neck. A blue glow flowed around his hand. I struggled but couldn't get out of his grip. He let the blast go. I flew back through the air and smashed into the ground. I sat up slowly and held my head.

~Awe shit.~ I thought, wiping the blood off my forehead.

I stood and was suddenly under a barrage of kicks, punches, and the occasional ki blast care of Vegeta. I crossed my arms in front of my face to block, countering sometimes but not getting many hits in.

Five more minutes! Goku announced.

Vegeta stopped temporarily. I took this opportunity to go into the air.

~What can I do in five minutes?~ I asked myself frantically. ~What can I do?~

To be continued

I know, I shouldn't have stopped there but I figured I could start the next chapter off good this way. I do have some big plans for this.

Note#4: First let me apologize for the crappy-ass fight scene. I just can't seem to do them very well now. I dunno why.

Note#5: Another thing, so sorry for taking this long. Here's my excuse(s): 1) I would of posted Friday except that was my birthday and I think I deserved that off 2) As for Saturday, had to clean the cars, clean the house, then pick my friends up for a little pre-party sorta thing 3) Technically, it's still Sunday where I am but I had to throw a party today and I got a really bad sunburn. Ouch!

Okay, so much for notes and excuses, you're probably not buying any of it but it's true! It is!

**I need some people (One or two) that are willing to sort of preview' a couple chapters and give me their opinions on some stuff. You also will be asked for suggestions and things from me. ^^ Please, if anyone is interested (And I hope there's at least one person) email me. If you leave it as a comment I'll most likely see it too.** (I need to say thanks to Just A Thought for all her help and ideas for my story so far, you rock girl!!)
