Chapter 6
Vegeta's second match of the day was pretty easy. He had his fun because he toyed with his opponent. He dodged all of his punches, kicks, and even got around his maneuvers to get to face Vegeta's back. Vegeta only laughed at him then pounded him to the ground. Knock Out. Vegeta won. Gohan and Krillin both watched Vegeta's victory. Krillin was, again, going to fight in the big ring. This time he was pumped; after listening to Hercule's big mouth he finally gets to punch it in. He had only 15 minutes to prepare for the match, but it was Hercule, how hard could it be?
The stadium was about to collapse after hearing Hercule's name, it became even louder when he entered the ring next to Krillin. Hercule started to bad mouth Krillin, just like he did to Cell before the actual tournament. That's okay, Krillin thought, I blew some steam facing Imu. Hercule was continuing the insults, one after another, finally Krillin fell asleep standing up. He caught himself asleep and went into a fighting position. The bell sounded and they were off. Hercule handed Krillin the first punch. It made him step back one-step but other than that he was motionless. He smiled, jumped up and punched Hercule right in the face. Hercule was in amazement that someone actually hit him. Krillin kicked him in the gut so that he'd bend over and punch him in the face. He kept repeating this until Hercule broke free of the combo. He tried to punch Krillin but he evaded the attack by jumping backwards ten feet, jumped high in the air, over Hercule's body and landed ten feet from his back. He then jumped backwards with an elbow sticking out backwards and elbowed Hercule's back. He let out a terrifying scream in pain. He was down on his hands and knees in pain. Then Krillin kicked him in the gut. Hercule was far from over, he got back up, in pain, then attacked Krillin, and missed. All Krillin needed to do was to get him out of the ring. Krillin grabbed his hand and started to swing him around in circles going as fast as he can. He let go and Hercule was air born until he hit edge of the ring. Oh man, he's not out yet? Krillin thought. Hercule got back up just in time to see his reign, at last, come to an end as he was punched out of the ring. As usual everyone in the arena was dead silent to the big upset. Krillin was still in the ring as a burst of mixed reactions came pouring into the battle area. Some good, some bad. What ever they were, Krillin had to get out of there.
Gohan was set to face Genu Melfesta in the small squared arena. Genu was a very masculine man with long black hair, but still no match for Gohan. Gohan started out with a hard punch that nearly knocked him out. Genu was mad, he got up and went after Gohan and gave him a kick, but all he hit was air. Gohan ax handled his back hard enough to send Genu to the ground. It was over; Gohan kicked him in the back and knocked him out. Gohan went on to the semifinals after one hard day.
Chapter 7
Krillin got out of bed the next day to get ready for his match that afternoon. He was waiting to see who his next opponent would be. A messenger was to come by and give him all of the info that day. Krillin decided to go take a quick shower, if he knocks the others will wake up, he thought. Gohan slept on a cot while Krillin and Bulma slept on the two queen sized beds. Gohan woke up just as Krillin started the water, then Bulma woke up. The two both had morning looks, not good. Gohan was tired while Bulma was panicking about the way she looks. The two got themselves together and waited for the messenger. Gohan had a confused look on his face. If Vegeta won both of his matches, he thought, then one of us will have to face him. Now he had a reason to panic. Just then a knock came from the door.
"Who is it?" Bulma asked.
"A representative from the Tenkaichi Budoukai tournament," the man said on the other side. Bulma opened the door as he gave her a sheet of paper. Krillin came in drying himself with his clothes on. He took the paper, read it, then dropped it with a look of shock on his face.
"Oh, no," Krillin said. Eyes wide open and face just blank.
"What?" Gohan and Bulma said in unison.
Krillin gulped hard then spoke, "I have to face Vegeta at noon." Bulma and Gohan both looked shocked. "Gohan, you got it easy, you have to face one more person until you face Vegeta," he said. Gohan took the paper to confirm it.
"Yep, sure enough, you have to face Vegeta," Gohan said. "But don't say that, I told him not to transform yesterday. Maybe he'll keep his word."
"Nope, not going to happen," Bulma shouted. "If I know Vegeta, he'll go the instant he finds out that you're stronger than him. Don't worry, I'm sure he just going to rough house you."
"No, he would love to kill a friend of Goku's, trust me." Krillin said. "I think I'm going to fight for a little bit, then take a phantom punch and fly out, on pretend that I'm knocked out."
"You better go get ready Krillin," Gohan said. "This isn't going to be easy."
Chapter 8
It was noon. Krillin took a deep breath before he was introduced. The stadium was sold out and loud. Krillin was introduced first. Right when his name was announced everybody booed him because of Hercules defeat. It would be nice to have Hercule face Vegeta instead of me, he thought. Then Vegeta's name was announced. He didn't waste any time. As soon as he got out to the ring he powered up. Aw, man, Krillin thought, I'm toast. The two started powering up then they fought. Vegeta came up with a hard punch but Krillin backed away in time to see Vegeta break some ring tiles. While Vegeta was going to take his fist out Krillin attacked with a hard punch. Vegeta avoided it but was hit by the side by a kick. He came in with a series of punches and kicks that Vegeta couldn't counter. Every punch, he hit Vegeta, every kick, he hit Vegeta.
'I don't get it', Krillin thought, 'I'm connecting every swing. I'm as strong as Vegeta, but he's about an inch away from transforming. I'm as strong as a Super Sayian! But I'm still no match for him.'
Krillin kept on with his relentless assault towards Vegeta. Finally they backed into their corners. 'I don't believe it, I'm in my original form and still he's beating me, what kind of training has he done?' Vegeta thought.
"Wow, Krillin's stronger than Vegeta," Gohan said. "I don't believe it but he is, he's surpassed a Sayian's original form." Bulma looked at Gohan.
"Are you sure? Is that even possible?" She said.
"I guess it is."
Krillin came in for a blow but Vegeta blocked it then the two grappled. "I'm getting mad," Vegeta said to Krillin. "You know I hate to loose." All of a sudden he booted a little bit of more power in him. He then tripped Krillin and punched him in the stomach. Krillin lied on the ring and opened his eyes just in time to evade a solder drop from Vegeta. Vegeta beat Krillin with every series of punches. He punched him everywhere, in the stomach, in the chest and in the head. After he was done Krillin looked beat up but was still in the fight. The two took a two second breather and went back at it. Vegeta went to the offensive side and beat Krillin even more. 'I'm going to pass out if I don't do something,' he thought. He jumped up as so did Vegeta, then came back down, raised his right hand in the air and aimed for Vegeta.
"Distructo Disc," Krillin yelled. A bright very large yellow disc came flying towards Vegeta at a high speed. Vegeta panicked and quickly moved out of the way, barely.
'He wasted a lot of energy on that beam,' Vegeta thought. 'This fight is over.' Vegeta came down and went after Krillin. He punched him and kicked him until Vegeta couldn't stand it. He held Krillin up by the neck and said something. "My win." He then held his hand out by his stomach and blasted Krillin. Krillin was knocked out. The winner, Vegeta.
Chapter 9
Krillin didn't wake up until a couple of minutes until Gohan's match. He was in the lockers with Bulma. He got up slowly and groaned.
"Careful, you took a hard hit from Vegeta," Bulma said. She helped Krillin getting up. "You okay?"
"What happened?" he asked. "Did you get the number of that train that hit me?"
"No, I told you, you got hit by an energy blast from Vegeta."
"Funny, I can't remember that." He stood up and started to itch his head. He had a confused look on his face. "Tell me again what happened."
"All right," she said. She told him everything that happened. Just as she was going to end Krillin interrupted.
"That's when he grabbed me by the neck and said 'my win', right?" He said. Bulma nodded yes. "I remember now. Man, I can't believe I'm as strong as a Super Sayian."
"We better hurry, Gohan's match is in a minute." The two walked out of the locker room and sat in their seats.
Gohan was ready. Again he was facing someone who didn't stand a chance. They called him the Kat, no one really knew his real name or who he was. 'Is this guy trying to be like Jacki Chung?' Gohan thought. He grinned at his own joke. The two were introduced and ready to fight. Kat started off with a jump kick and missed, he quickly turned around and swung a roundhouse. He missed again Gohan was too quick. He started a series of punches and kicks. 'This guy is about as fast as Hercule,' Gohan thought while blocking. 'That's fast for a regular human.' Gohan blocked his last block and pushed him back. They were back into their corners, and then Gohan took the offensive. He came after with a big leap, a low leap leaving him one foot above the ground, and punched him in the jaw. He began his series of punches and kicks, some made contact and some, very few, were blocked. Kat start to back up toward his corner. He got too close and with one hard punch he was out. Ring out, Gohan wins.
After the match Gohan went to the hotel and lay on the bed. It was about 9:30 so he had until 8:30 to sleep. 'This isn't going to be easy, facing Vegeta isn't my idea of fun,' he thought lying on the bed. Krillin and Bulma came in.
"Gohan, you okay, you look pale," Bulma said.
"I'm just thinking of Vegeta vs. Me," he said. "I watched how he fought Krillin. He's fast, if I have to, I'll transform if I have to." Krillin and Bulma where shocked.
"You can't do that, you made a promise," Krillin said.
"I know, but I'll get beat if I don't," he said. "He's a purebred Sayian, He's stronger in his original state."
"Okay, Gohan, do what you want."
Chapter 10
It was about two minutes until Gohan was going to make his entrance to the ring. He put on his cape Piccolo gave to him. He was ready physically but not mentally. 'How am I going to beat him?' Gohan asked in his mind. 'This one if for you, Dad.' He took the last minute to concentrate for the battle. Finally the stage was set Gohan was introduced first.
"Introducing first," the announcer said. "A little 15 year old making his way all the way to the championship. The last time someone as young as that made it was Goku, an 11 year old, but was defeated by Jacki Chung. His name, Gohan!" The crowd burst out with excitement. "Next, a spiky haired man with only one hard match all tournament, Vegeta!" Vegeta stepped into the ring with Gohan; the two stared at each other.
'I will win,' both thought at unison.
"I would love nothing more than to defeat Kakarot's son," Vegeta said. "That way I would know that I am stronger than anyone in the universe." The bell sounded and the fighters started to power up. After about a minute the two reached the point where they could go Super Sayian any second. "Well kid, I'm still stronger than you," he said. They started, both blocking every punch and kick they threw. The two didn't lay a finger on each other until Vegeta backed up and threw a hard punch. Gohan prepared to shield himself but was too late. He flew back to the edge of the ring. Vegeta flew in to finish him off by a ring out but Gohan jumped in time to see Vegeta miss. The two found themselves in the other's corners. They went back at it, blocking all of the attacks coming towards them.
'Maybe I was wrong about Vegeta being stronger,' Gohan thought. 'We seem evenly matched.' "Hey, Vegeta," he shouted. "How about dropping the personal rules? That means we can do anything we want."
Vegeta looked surprised, 'I've known this kid for a few years. He wouldn't do this, but this means that I could kill him.' "Why not? Lets go." The two started to power up some more both turning into Super Sayians with the ground shaking underneath them. Powering up to their peaks.
'I know I can go the next level, why can't I?' Gohan thought. He tried, the gold hair flickering wildly as he tried. 'I can't do it!' Vegeta finished and wasted no time, he flew in and hit Gohan. He gave up, 'I'll try later.' then started to attack Vegeta. He threw punches and kicks, with some connecting and other blocked. Finally Gohan backed out and threw some energy blasts toward Vegeta. He immediately went to a blocking format with his arms crossed over his chest. Every beam hit him but didn't faze him. He then came in for an attack on Gohan but he jumped up and threw another energy blast to the ground missing Vegeta. Vegeta jumped and kicked Gohan and combined his fists to pound him down. Gohan slowly got up and went back into a ready possession. Vegeta floated to the ground to his ready possession. They went back at it again, this time Vegeta was throwing the punches and kicks. Gohan, too, got hit and blocked some. Gohan jumped as Vegeta threw multiple blasts at Gohan, covering the sky gold. Gohan evaded all of the attacks. He came down to see Vegeta fire off one more blast. This time Gohan was hit. As soon as he was hit, Vegeta swung a punch and hit Gohan across the face. He took a few steps to shake off the pain. Then turned around to see another fist come toward him. Vegeta hit him again and continued his relentless assault toward Gohan. He connected on every punch. Finally Gohan blocked a punch and threw an uppercut to Vegeta. "Now it's my turn," he shouted. He came after Vegeta with a kick to the jaw then a punch to the face. Gohan then kicked him in the gut. Vegeta went down to his knees and gagged. He got back up as Gohan kicked him to the side of the face. Vegeta punched Gohan in the stomach. Gohan covered his belly and laughed.
"What are you laughing at boy?" Vegeta asked.
"I just noticed," Gohan said. "That I haven't taken off my weighted clothing. That's what's been keeping me back. I can't go to the next level with this clothing." Vegeta looked shocked.
'That's why he tried so hard powering up,' he thought. 'He was trying to go to the next level.' Vegeta was furious and immediately attacked Gohan. He threw all he had. 'I must drain most of his power before he takes off his clothes.'
Vegeta kept on attacking then finally Gohan broke free and hurried to take off his cape. Gohan punched Vegeta and went to his back and kicked him. Vegeta lied there like nothing happened then got back up. He went back to the offensive throwing everything he got. Gohan blocked every shot but made a little error. He left his belly open; Vegeta kicked him and grabbed his arm to throw him across the ring. Gohan flew to the edge and stopped, he dove to the ground to stop him. He got back up to see Vegeta come in for a punch but Gohan grabbed his arm and elbowed it to a point where it would almost snap. Gohan punched him and kicked him. Vegeta quickly recovered and swung an uppercut to Gohan's jaw.
"I've had enough of this," Gohan said. He then started powering up. The ground started shaking and masses of dust were going away from Gohan.
'He's going to the next stage,' Vegeta thought. 'I have to stop it.' Vegeta flew up and cuffed his hands in front of his chest as if he were holding a ball. His veins where popping out of his head as he concentrated on his power. Golden lightning was starting to come out of the space between his hands. Meanwhile Gohan was still powering up, then finally he screamed. His hair grew, his power rose, and he went into the Kame hame ha position.
"Ka-me ha-me"
"Final"
"Ha!"
"Flash!"
One huge blue ball of energy was going to intersect with a huge golden ball. The two met and were at a stalemate. Vegeta's power was drained from the attack, and he de-transformed to a regular Sayian. 'It's all up to the original blast,' he thought. The golden beam was starting to give way, as the blue wave grew stronger by the second. Finally the beam collapsed and Vegeta was in the center of the Kame Hame Ha blast. When it was over Vegeta was all torn apart. He fell to the ground but still into the ring. He got back up and tried to charge another blast but collapsed out of the ring.
Gohan was declared the winner by ring out.
Vegeta's second match of the day was pretty easy. He had his fun because he toyed with his opponent. He dodged all of his punches, kicks, and even got around his maneuvers to get to face Vegeta's back. Vegeta only laughed at him then pounded him to the ground. Knock Out. Vegeta won.

He left his belly open; Vegeta kicked him and grabbed his arm to throw him across the ring. Gohan flew to the edge and stopped, he dove to the ground to stop him. He got back up to see Vegeta come in for a punch but Gohan grabbed his arm and elbowed it to a point where it would almost snap. Gohan punched him and kicked him. Vegeta quickly recovered and swung an uppercut to Gohan's jaw.
"I've had enough of this," Gohan said. He then started powering up. The ground started shaking and masses of dust were going away from Gohan.
'He's going to the next stage,' Vegeta thought. 'I have to stop it.' Vegeta flew up and cuffed his hands in front of his chest as if he were holding a ball. His veins where popping out of his head as he concentrated on his power. Golden lightning was starting to come out of the space between his hands. Meanwhile Gohan was still powering up, then finally he screamed. His hair grew, his power rose, and he went into the Kame hame ha position.
"Ka-me ha-me"
"Final"
"Ha!"
"Flash!"
One huge blue ball of energy was going to intersect with a huge golden ball. The two met and were at a stalemate. Vegeta's power was drained from the attack, and he de-transformed to a regular Sayian. 'It's all up to the original blast,' he thought. The golden beam was starting to give way, as the blue wave grew stronger by the second. Finally the beam collapsed and Vegeta was in the center of the Kame Hame Ha blast. When it was over Vegeta was all torn apart. He fell to the ground but still into the ring. He got back up and tried to charge another blast but collapsed out of the ring.
Gohan was declared the winner by ring out.
