Dragon Balls GN: Episode Seven: The Amateur Rounds!
By Maria Cline
A young woman excitedly went into a preparing room with microphone in hand. She was short with straight black hair and dark eyes. Her dress was bright red and festive with a business look to it. "Hello, I'm Maria Kline for Funimation News and right now I'm in the preparing room for the Tournament contestants. The kids rounds have just been completed and here is the winner." She looked around to see a young man with a trophy and a scowl on his face. "Hello, you must be Majunor."
The boy looked up and asked, "Weren't you the one who performed the marriage ceremony at Pan's wedding?"
Maria shook her head. "No, you must mean my cousin, Maria Cline (with a 'C')."
"Right."
"How does it feel to win the Tournament Budokai?" Maria asked excited.
"I didn't win. I just completed the Kids division."
Maria tried not to scowl at the smart elect remarks. "But, that's a big deal to many young future martial artists out there."
"So?"
Maria looked up and grinned, "Heh heh, so, are you going to fight in Grand Round?"
"Count on it." Majunor said as he held his trophy, "I'm going to kick some asses."
"Oh! It's time for a commercial break." Maria blurted out.
The cameraman and Maria gasped as the man turned off the video. "We're off."
"Thanks." Maria said as she glared down at the boy. "What's the idea, kid? Cussing like that on _live_ television?!"
"My name is Majunor. Why don't you take that camera and the cameraman and bug someone else?"
"I will." Maria turned on her heel and walked away. "We need to go somewhere else." She grumbled as she looked around for more potential candidates. "Ah hah!" She crowed as she went up to a group of fighters who were stuffing their faces full. "Excuse me?"
The group looked up and Maria smiled. "Hello, I'm Maria Kline and I would like to interview you for my show. What are your names?"
"I am Vegita. That is all you need to know." Vegita pronounced. After many years on Earth, he learned that announcing that you are an alien is not a very good idea. "Aren't you that girl who performed the ceremony?"
"No, that's my cousin. Maria Cline (with a 'C'). Vegita Briefs." Maria said, "A veteran in the Tournament and very mysterious also Bulma Briefs' husband. And you must be Trunks Briefs." Maria said to Trunks who was sitting next to his father.
"Yeah."
"So..." Maria said as she pointed the microphone at the young man, "what is it like to break every single girl's hearts with the marriage to Pan Son, daughter of Gohan Son and Videl Satan Son, granddaughter of Hercule Satan?"
"There's more men out there for all those single women." Trunks replied quickly as he grabbed Pan's hand.
"So, you two will be fighting against each other in the Tournament?"
"Maybe, maybe not." Pan replied, "It depends on the luck of the draw. Trunks and I spar a great deal, we fight to win. If we don't, then it's an insult to each other."
"Wow." The cameraman muttered as Maria glanced at him.
"What a couple. Okay, so..." She looked over at Torakak, "What about you?"
"Me?" Torakak asked as he looked up.
"Yes, so, Piccolo, will you be destroying any more rings any time soon?"
"Huh?" Torakak looked around him and then pointed to himself. "Oh?! I'm not Piccolo. My name is Torakak. I'm going to fight in the Amateur rounds."
Maria put her hand up to her mouth. "Oops. I'm so sorry."
"That's okay." Torakak waved his hand and grinned. "All green men must look alike to you."
Maria grinned as well. Despite his demonic appearance, Torakak was very friendly and in many ways was more of a kid than Majunor. "So, are you and Piccolo related?"
Torakak looked up and shrugged. "Well, I knew Piccolo for a very long time before he died. He was very much like a brother to me."
Maria and the cameraman blinked. "Piccolo died?" Maria repeated.
"A very noble death." Torakak added.
"I'm sorry."
"That's cool."
Maria glanced around and went to Gohan. "Mr. Gohan, I heard that you and some other fighters are joining your father-in-law in a battle to save Earth. Can you tell us when and where this battle will take place?"
"That is none of your concern, woman!" Vegita boomed as he snatched the microphone at super speed. "Listen up! There is no need to feel frightened! The Earth's strongest warriors will stop the threat!"
Torakak and every other fighter jumped on the Saiyan as Trunks grabbed the mike and said, "Just some publicity. I can most assure you that."
"Right." Maria said as she and the cameraman slowly inched away and then bolted away.
"Aww man." Goten moaned as he watched the girl ran off.
"We're not in this for the glory." Torakak reminded, "We're just here to have fun."
"I know." Goten sighed. **But some glory would be nice once in a while.**
*****
The group gathered as they went to the Amateur Rounds preliminaries.
"Well, looks like we won't be battling each other." Torakak muttered as he frowned.
"That's okay." Rosemary said, "I want to battle in the rounds and I might not be much against you guys."
"What about the Spirit Kioken?" Earl asked.
"No! Besides, I would collapse after that." Rosemary muttered as she still remembered the first time she did that powerful but deadly move.
"Hey, you just need to practice on it." Torakak advised, "Any powerup move is needed to destroy enemies."
"But it nearly killed me. Besides, it's a tournament."
"Right."
"You may do it anyway." A new voice said as Torakak and everyone else glanced over to see a young man with long black hair and ice blue eyes.
"Seventeen!" Torakak greeted, "How's it going?! I heard that you were here."
"Ummm..." Seventeen said as he glanced at everyone else. "I'm sorry but my memory banks must be faulty or something. But, who are you?"
"Huh?" Torakak pointed to himself, "Didn't anyone tell you? Aw man."
Seventeen frowned as he shook his head. He looked like Piccolo but his ki wasn't like him. Also, his body language was very different from other Namekians he met in the past.
"It's me."
"Me who?"
"Foolish, cyborg." Vegita said, "Can't you recognize a former Saiyan when you see him?"
"Sai- no. No, it's not physically possible." Seventeen said as he gazed closer, "Goku?"
"I was. Now, I'm Torakak."
Seventeen sighed. "I isolated myself for nine years and all this happened." He looked over at the other members, "Who are you?"
"Oh, this is Earl Grey, Yamcha's son, this blue girl is Rosemary, and you know the rest."
Seventeen nodded to the two. "Well, good luck in the rounds. You'll need it."
"Right." Earl muttered.
"So, you're Eighteen's brother. That's cool. I can see a resemblance." Rosemary said as she smiled.
Seventeen nodded to the young woman. "We're twins."
"Oh. Cool."
Goten glanced up to see Seventeen and Rosemary smiling to each other. **Hey! Seventeen is much older than Rosemary. No, they're not flirting with each other.**
******
After the Preliminaries, everyone gathered in the area where all of the fighters for the Amateur rounds. There were fourteen slots for the fights. Rosemary, Torakak, Seventeen, Choutsu, and Earl Grey stood together as they watched the various fighters gather.
"They feel so weak." Rosemary muttered, "I hope I get some of them first."
"You'll do fine." Torakak comforted.
A tall man with blond hair and dark sunglasses came up. "Hello, I'm the new Announcer."
"Hey! You look just like the old announcer when he was your age." Torakak observed.
"He's my father."
"Cool."
"And here we are at the gathering area for the fighters." Maria announced as she walked in. "Hello." She went up to the Announcer and said, "How does it feel to continue your father's legacy?"
"I'm very excited. I heard that many odd things happen around here. I'd like to see it happen."
"Aren't you disappointed that the Great Mr. Hercule Satan won't be fighting?"
"Actually, no." The Announcer replied, "I'd like to see someone else win for a change. But the way Mr. Satan fight is impressive even for someone his age."
Choutsu and the other fighters giggled as Maria and the Announcer glanced confused. A powerful stench filled the air as Earl became pale. "Gah!"
"Pewhew!" Torakak said as he clamped both hands over his nose. "No, it's not possible." Flashbacks of Goku's first tournament flashed through his head as his face paled.
"I feel sick." Earl said as his face turned to a shade of green.
"Gross." Maria muttered as she ran away with her cameraman in tow.
"Awww..." A woman said as she came up. Everyone looked over to see a tall fat woman with long stringy greasy hair, with hairy armpits with matching hairy legs and arms. She was dressed in nothing but a bikini.
Announcer counted everyone and said, "Okay, everyone is here." He pulled out a gas mask. "Now, everyone draw out a number and I'll write it up. Now, let me see who's here." He got out a list.
"Simon?"
A tall handsome man came up. He was tall with blond hair and blue eyes. His jaw was square and yet he had a twinkle in his eye. Rosemary turned red as she looked at him. "Here." He said as he got out a ball.
"Okay, you got number three."
"Betty Bacteriana?"
"Heeh heeh." The smelly woman stepped forward and the fighters stepped aside.
She drew out a number.
"Okay, you have number eight."
"Rosemary?" The Announcer asked.
"Here." Rosemary came forward and drew out a seven. "Oh no." She said as she looked up at the chart.
"Sorry. You will have to fight, Betty Bacteriana."
Everyone drew out the numbers. It was Sonic vs. Hedgehog. Simon vs. Clair. Mario vs. Luigi. Rosemary vs. Betty Bacteriana. Earl Grey vs. Picard. Torakak vs. Dr. Pain. Seventeen vs. Numero. Choutsu vs. Mr. Mime.
"Bummer. Looks like we won't get to fight each other in the first rounds." Earl said as he look at the chart.
"That's okay." Rosemary said, "I want to fight someone normal for a change."
"Just be careful not to kill them." Choutsu advised.
"Easy for you to say. I have to fight one of the most disgusting fighters in history."
"Let's go, Rosemary." Seventeen advised, "We have to be at the ceremony."
"Right."
*****
It was bright as Maria Kline and the Announcer stood at the front. Maria grinned as she said, "Hello, viewers! And welcome to the beginning rounds of this match. Let us watch Mr. Satan as he said his speech."
The two looked over to a huge booth where Mr. Hercule Satan stood there next to Uub.
"Greetings! I am the protector of Earth. I regret retiring now but there are more powerful fighters out there who will take the my place." Mr. Satan boomed.
As usual there's a cheer throughout the stadium. Gohan moaned as Pan rolled her eyes.
"I must admit, there are much stronger warriors than myself and I wish the best of luck to all of them. Now, let's bring it on!"
Maria and the Announcer applauded with everyone else as Maria spoke to the camera again. "Incredible. Well, I wish Mr. Satan the best of luck to his retirement. Don't you agree, Mr. Announcer?"
"Absolutely, Ms. Kline. Now, let's go to our commercial breaks."
The two smiled as the cameraman waved his hand. "And we're clear."
"Good." Maria muttered, "This tournament had been such a surprise after another. That kid still bothered me."
"Don't feel too bad about it." The Announcer said, "I've seen some pretty hectic tournaments when I was watching Dad. There was this one kid who turned into a giant monkey in the middle of the arena."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty nervous."
"You'll do fine. Come on, let's go and see the matches."
*****
The first three matches flew by as the fighters fought. Sonic won over Hedgehog with his lighting speed. Simon won his easily by just charming Clair into submission. Mario and Luigi were a more even match since the two were Italian twin brothers. Finally, it was Rosemary's turn.
The young fighter came up to the ring as the Announcer said, "And now, a newcomer to our tournament. She is true blue with obvious fighting skill and power. Ms. Rosemary!"
Rosemary went on the ring as cheers boomed on her. She could hear everyone she knew shouting encouraging words to her as she waved.
"Good luck, Princess!"
"Rosemary! Don't think about the stench!"
"You can do it!"
"And in the other corner is the daughter of the powerful Bacterian himself, Betty Bacteriana the smelliest woman on Earth!"
Betty Bacteriana went up as cheers and then groans overcame them. A tall stinky old man stood up in a middle of empty seats. "That's my girl!" The Announcer got out his gas mask and pulled it on.
Rosemary gulped as she came forward. "Rosemary! Remember what you are!" Torakak yelled out.
"Remember?" She asked confused. She knew exactly what she is. She is a Blue Elf who had never met another one of her kind. She is the daughter of a wannabe ruler of Earth.
The stench overcame her as she stood there.
"Fight!" The Announcer yelled out as he ran to the side.
"Ha ha ha!!!" Betty laughed as she came forward and shoved her armpit over Rosemary's face.
Rosemary's face turned to a shade of interesting green. She held her breath as she shoved herself away. Betty belched at the girl as Rosemary turned greener. "No." She coughed as she got up.
"That's my girl." Bacterian said to the nearest person who was several seats away.
Rosemary looked up and then remembered. "Of course." She held her breath as she tugged and pulled.
"Huh?" Betty wondered as she watched Rosemary got up and smiled. She put her nose in her pocket as she stood there.
"You see, Betty, I'm a Blue Elf. You don't know that Blue Elves are born without noses. Of course, I was given an artificial nose when I was a kid. I lived with it for so long that I felt it was like a part of me. Up until now, I had it on all the time." Rosemary said as she flew up, picked up Betty and tossed her into the pool. "I can't smell."
"Looks like a deja vu as Rosemary defeated the odorous Betty Bacterian." The Announcer said as he took off his gas mask.
"Wow we." Torakak said as he went up to Rosemary who was fixing her face. "That was awesome!" "I didn't know you have an artifical nose." Earl admitted as Rosemary checked her mirror.
"Yeah, it was the latest in plastic surgery." Rosemary explained as she smiled.
"You know, Krillian defeated Betty's father because he couldn't smell too." Torakak recalled fondly. "Oh boy. It was funny. At first, he nearly passed out because of the stench and then Goku reminded him that he had no nose and hence no sense of smell."
"Goku?" Rosemary repeated as she looked around at the other strangers. She had forgotten that Goku and Torakak shouldn't be known to be the same person. "Right."
Next, it was Earl and Picard. There wasn't much of a match between the two. Basically, Earl just knocked him out of the ring in 1.5 seconds flat. As usual, he just lightly jabbed the man.
"Just a few more rounds to go." Choutsu said as he gazed at the sheet. He knew for a fact that he will win against this Mr. Mime but according to the charts, he would have to fight Seventeen and he was hard. It would be interesting to see how long he had against a super powerful Android like Seventeen.
"Nervous, Choutsu?" Tien asked as he came up.
"No." Choutsu lied, "It's just that this is the first time in years I get to fight."
"You'll do fine. You had improved a lot over the years." Tien commented.
"I know. I know." Choutsu glanced over at Mr. Mime. He was tall with a white mask and sunglasses and was dressed in long spandex. "I don't like him."
"Neither do I. He feels familiar." Tien said as he frowned at him. "Oh well. I gotta go and watch Tora's fight."
"Me too."
Torakak was stretching as usual as he glanced up to see that it was his turn. He felt his opponent's ki and smirked. It was very low like the others. "This will be a piece of cake." He said as he went up.
The Announcer introduced, "And in this corner, the green giant of power. The alien from outer space, Torakak!"
Torakak went out wincing a little at the loud cheers and whistles. At that moment, he was in his element. The thrill of battle excited his warrior soul. It was moments like these, he's happy to be on Earth.
"And in this corner, the man of medicine, the only fighter besides Gohan with a Doctorate, the one and only... Dr. Pain!"
A tall muscular man came out on the ring. He was dressed in a typical doctor's coat, with spandex black pants, and matching tank top.
"Ready...fight!" The Announcer said as he ran to the side.
Torakak barred his fangs as he crouched down. Dr. Pain smiled as he looked over. "What an interesting specimen."
"Huh?" Torakak said as he looked up shocked. Most of the time, when he meet up with different people, they would either scream in fear or faint. This was the first time he saw anyone call him a specimen.
"You are very interesting." Dr. Pain said as he reached out, "I am a psychic and I can sense fear. Yes... and their weaknesses."
"Are you going to fight?" Torakak asked as he pouted.
"I am fighting." Dr. Pain said as thousands of hypodermic needles appeared out of thin air.
"GAH!!!" Torakak screamed as he jumped. Memories of long pointy needles filled his head as he lay down trying not to get pricked by them.
"Holy cow!" The Announcer screamed, "He's doing his devastating 'phony needle' attack'!"
"Shit!" Gohan and Vegita said unison.
"That stupid Namekian is still afraid of needles." Vegita grumbled. "Sometimes, he's still immature."
Rosemary watched as Krillian began shouting, "Get over it!"
Chi Chi joined him, "Tora! Don't you dare run out now!"
"Show him what you're made of!" Bulma screamed.
"What's going on?" She asked Choutsu who was looking shocked.
"Oh no! Torakak is afraid of needles." Choutsu explained as Torakak went down to the ground as he inched away.
"Needles?" Earl repeated, "That is dumb."
"If you were surrounded by a thousand needles, would you be scared?" Rosemary asked.
"Good point."
Meanwhile, Dr. Pain laughed as well as everyone else at the way Torakak was huddling in a corner away from the needles. "Give up." Dr. Pain said, "Forfeit."
"N-n-no! Never!" Torakak yelled out as sweat poured down his skin.
"This is humiliating." Goten said as his face turned beet red.
"Enough." Gohan said as he flew down to the ring and yelled out in Namekian, (Dad! You said it yourself that fear is a warrior's worst enemy and that it can destroy us or make us stronger! Please! Don't give in to the fear. They're fake! They're all fake! Fight it please! Don't dishonor us! Don't be defeated by a weak human!)
Torakak opened his eyes and gazed at his oldest son. (Where did you learn Namek?)
(Piccolo.)
(Of course.) Torakak closed his eyes and focused on the man. "No, I can't lose to it. I won't make my son ashamed of me." He muttered as he closed his eyes, put his fingers on his forehead, and vanished.
A fraction of a second later, he reappeared next to the doctor, startling him and getting rid of all the needles. "Now, you forfeit." He growled.
"Gah!" The doctor ran off the ring.
"Wow! What a comeback! Apparently, that was the most astounding mental battles ever!" The Announcer exclaimed as Torakak wiped his brow. Cheers rang out at the man's win.
"Alright!" Torakak let out a v sign for victory and walked off the ring and to Gohan. "Thanks, Gohan."
"No problem." Gohan said as he smiled, "I didn't want you to lose to a weak guy like that."
"Mr. Gohan!" Maria said as she ran up to the warrior, "What did you say to Torakak? What was that language?"
"Just a little something I picked up." Gohan replied, "And what I said is none of your business."
"Yeah." Torakak agreed as they strolled off of the ring.
"That was close." Earl said as he went up, "What's the deal?"
"Oh, I just have a tiny fear of needles." Torakak said as he scratched the back of his head.
"Excuse me." Seventeen said as he went off to fight.
Gohan rose an eyebrow and said, "I remember one time when you were beaten up by Vegita after Ginyu body snatched it. You could barely keep your eyes open let alone walk. But the second you saw that needle, you bolted for the door." Gohan reminisce, "In fact, it took all of Krillian's strength just to keep you in one place."
"Hey! I did not bolt!"
"Well, crawl. It was hard to tell. I was just a kid back then."
"Oh boy." Rosemary watched as Seventeen went up against Numero and punched him out of the ring.
"I'm done." Seventeen said as he came back.
"That was fast."
"I know."
Finally, it was Choutsu's turn. Choutsu got up to the ring with Mr. Mime standing across.
"And in this corner, the former emperor, the psychic being of destruction, Choutsu!" The Announcer announced as there were the usual cheers. Tien was applauding the loudest.
"And in this corner is the super mysterious Mr. Mime."
Mr. Mime came up and said, "Hello, Choutsu."
Choutsu shook as he remembered that voice. "No! It's not possible."
The man took off his outfit to reveal another outfit underneath. Tien's eyes widen as he grabbed the bar. "No way!"
Rosemary stepped back in equal shock. "No!"
"Yes!" Standing there was Toa Pai Pai, the assassin. "I had been training heavily since my defeat so many years ago. Now, I will destroy you!" He announced as he opened his chest and thousands small flying machines flew out and attacked Uubu and Mr. Satan. "They are my killer droids." Toa said, "They will destroy every person in this place. I must warn you, if you try to touch them, they explode. They are also very ki sensitive so if you blast them, they'll blow up with more power than before."
"Oh no!" Choutsu exclaimed as Uubu started to fend off the droids. While Uubu was one of the most powerful fighters in the universe, he couldn't risk having the bomb bots exploding near the weak watchers. He dodged and darted the bots while making sure they weren't touching the shaking Mr. Satan.
Maria did what any other reporter would do in a situation like this. "This is Maria Kline with a late breaking story! The assassin Toi Pai Pai, had just threatened Mr. Satan's life. Is this the end of this man's life?"
"All of our lives are in danger and she's worried about a story?" Majunor asked.
"All right!" Goten said as he flew off into a nearby bathroom. "This is my chance!"
"Wait up!" Pan argued as she went into the other nearby bathroom.
"Oh no." Gohan muttered as his face turned red. A streaks of green and black flew right in front of the assassin.
"What is this?" Maria asked as she looked on. Standing there were two fighters dressed in armor. The man was wearing a bandanna over his head with a pair of sunglasses along with a black jumpsuit with a green vest and shorts over it. The only odd thing about him was a furry belt over his waist. The woman was dressed in an outfit identical to his only it was purple.
"Foolish criminal, prepare to be defeated. I am the powerful and awesome..." The man did a series of poses that involved standing on his head and waving his feet. "The Great Saiyanman!"
The woman crossed her arms as posed beside her, "And I am the Great Saiyan-chan!"
"Prepare to face our wraths." The two said in unison as the pointed to the assassin.
"All right!" Yugin said as he applauded, "Those are some great poses."
"Incredible!" Maria yelled out, "It appears that Goten, the younger brother of the first Great Saiyanman, and Pan Briefs, the daughter of the Great Saiyanman couple had just taken on their great names."
Goten and Pan fell over as Goten asked, "How did you know who I am?"
"We reporters are very perceptive." Maria chided, "Besides, it said so in the script. 'Goten and Pan changes to their costumed identities.'"
Everyone fell over in shock. Choutsu said to the two Great Saiyanman team, "I appreciate the offer but I want to defeat this man myself."
"Awww..." Goten moaned, "But, I like this outfit."
"Come on, Unc." Pan said as she pulled Goten away.
"Besides, I want to win this for myself." Choutsu said as he went over to the assassin. "I'm ready."
"Cute, pip-squeak." Toa Pai Pai said as he rose up and started to punch him. Choutsu avoided the punches with incredible ease.
Meanwhile, Uubu focused his power. He couldn't blast them or punch them without exploding. However, the bots were numerous and he wanted to try this trick on a machine. He folded out his hands and yelled out, "Bots! Turn into chocolate!"
While Choutsu was fighting the assassin, Uubu grabbed the chocolate and stuffed it down his throat. "Quick! Get those chocolate bots!" Torakak ordered as Goten, Trunks, and Vegita flew up and started eating the bots as well.
"This is fun." Goten said as he plopped a bot in his stomach. Suddenly, a huge boom echoed through the room. Uubu moaned as he clutched his stomach.
"I believe that the bots can still explode." He said as he got up.
"Who cares? We can handle this." Vegita said as he gulped down more chocolate. Another chocolate bot exploded in his stomach. "*Groan*. This is bad." Choutsu avoided another blast and said, "That's it." He flew up and punched him left and right. His fists became blurs as Toa Pai Pai's cybernetic parts flew off. In the end, all that was left was a broken man.
"**Whew**." Choutsu said as the remaining bots fell to the ground.
"Ummm..." The Announcer checked to see that the fallen opponent was still breathing. "Choutsu wins!"
Cheers arose as Choutsu smiled and waved.
"Wait! Let's not forget those who saved my life." Mr. Satan said as he gestured to the Saiyan men and Uubu who were holding their stomachs in pain.
"Goten?" Trunks muttered.
"Yeah?"
"Remind me not to make exploding chocolates." Trunks fell over as Pan and Videl flew up to the group.
*****
Maria stood in front of the main first aid section. "This is Maria Kline, coming in. The tournament had just been put on hold after Mr. Satan's saviors had _eaten_ the bots that would've blown him and everyone else to the Next Dimention." She went over to a older woman who was dressed in a pink and green Chinese Dress. "Hello, Ms. Are you the mother of Mr. Gohan and Mr. Goten?"
"Yes, I'm Chi Chi." She said as she looked up at the camera. "No interviews!" She screamed as she walked in and slammed the door.
"Ummm..." Maria turned red as Torakak came out. "Sorry about that." Torakak said, "Chi Chi is under a lot of stress." "I see." Maria tilted her head. "So, tell me, how are they doing?"
"Pretty good. They are just having a bad tummy ache."
"Will they be able to fight in the Professional Rounds?" Maria asked.
"Of course! They are all very strong. They just need to recover." Torakak explained, "I gotta go and get ready."
Maria nodded as she stepped to the side to allow the Namekian to pass.
"Wow. This is incredible for the first rounds." Maria said to the camera. "What will happen next?"
"Hey!" Torakak said, "That's my line."
To Be Continued...
Hi! Torakak here again! What a tournament! And it isn't even halfway done yet. Next up. The big matches. Choutsu vs. Seventeen. Me vs. Earl. Rosemary vs. Simon. Also, will the other Saiyans be okay enough to fight in the Professional Rounds?
Next up.
More Battles! The Tournament heats up.
Dragon Balls GN: Episode Seven: The Amateur Rounds!
By Maria Cline
A young woman excitedly went into a preparing room with microphone in hand. She was short with straight black hair and dark eyes. Her dress was bright red and festive with a business look to it. "Hello, I'm Maria Kline for Funimation News and right now I'm in the preparing room for the Tournament contestants. The kids rounds have just been completed and here is the winner." She looked around to see a young man with a trophy and a scowl on his face. "Hello, you must be Majunor."
The boy looked up and asked, "Weren't you the one who performed the marriage ceremony at Pan's wedding?"
Maria shook her head. "No, you must mean my cousin, Maria Cline (with a 'C')."
"Right."
"How does it feel to win the Tournament Budokai?" Maria asked excited.
"I didn't win. I just completed the Kids division."
Maria tried not to scowl at the smart elect remarks. "But, that's a big deal to many young future martial artists out there."
"So?"
Maria looked up and grinned, "Heh heh, so, are you going to fight in Grand Round?"
"Count on it." Majunor said as he held his trophy, "I'm going to kick some asses."
"Oh! It's time for a commercial break." Maria blurted out.
The cameraman and Maria gasped as the man turned off the video. "We're off."
"Thanks." Maria said as she glared down at the boy. "What's the idea, kid? Cussing like that on _live_ television?!"
"My name is Majunor. Why don't you take that camera and the cameraman and bug someone else?"
"I will." Maria turned on her heel and walked away. "We need to go somewhere else." She grumbled as she looked around for more potential candidates. "Ah hah!" She crowed as she went up to a group of fighters who were stuffing their faces full. "Excuse me?"
The group looked up and Maria smiled. "Hello, I'm Maria Kline and I would like to interview you for my show. What are your names?"
"I am Vegita. That is all you need to know." Vegita pronounced. After many years on Earth, he learned that announcing that you are an alien is not a very good idea. "Aren't you that girl who performed the ceremony?"
"No, that's my cousin. Maria Cline (with a 'C'). Vegita Briefs." Maria said, "A veteran in the Tournament and very mysterious also Bulma Briefs' husband. And you must be Trunks Briefs." Maria said to Trunks who was sitting next to his father.
"Yeah."
"So..." Maria said as she pointed the microphone at the young man, "what is it like to break every single girl's hearts with the marriage to Pan Son, daughter of Gohan Son and Videl Satan Son, granddaughter of Hercule Satan?"
"There's more men out there for all those single women." Trunks replied quickly as he grabbed Pan's hand.
"So, you two will be fighting against each other in the Tournament?"
"Maybe, maybe not." Pan replied, "It depends on the luck of the draw. Trunks and I spar a great deal, we fight to win. If we don't, then it's an insult to each other."
"Wow." The cameraman muttered as Maria glanced at him.
"What a couple. Okay, so..." She looked over at Torakak, "What about you?"
"Me?" Torakak asked as he looked up.
"Yes, so, Piccolo, will you be destroying any more rings any time soon?"
"Huh?" Torakak looked around him and then pointed to himself. "Oh?! I'm not Piccolo. My name is Torakak. I'm going to fight in the Amateur rounds."
Maria put her hand up to her mouth. "Oops. I'm so sorry."
"That's okay." Torakak waved his hand and grinned. "All green men must look alike to you."
Maria grinned as well. Despite his demonic appearance, Torakak was very friendly and in many ways was more of a kid than Majunor. "So, are you and Piccolo related?"
Torakak looked up and shrugged. "Well, I knew Piccolo for a very long time before he died. He was very much like a brother to me."
Maria and the cameraman blinked. "Piccolo died?" Maria repeated.
"A very noble death." Torakak added.
"I'm sorry."
"That's cool."
Maria glanced around and went to Gohan. "Mr. Gohan, I heard that you and some other fighters are joining your father-in-law in a battle to save Earth. Can you tell us when and where this battle will take place?"
"That is none of your concern, woman!" Vegita boomed as he snatched the microphone at super speed. "Listen up! There is no need to feel frightened! The Earth's strongest warriors will stop the threat!"
Torakak and every other fighter jumped on the Saiyan as Trunks grabbed the mike and said, "Just some publicity. I can most assure you that."
"Right." Maria said as she and the cameraman slowly inched away and then bolted away.
"Aww man." Goten moaned as he watched the girl ran off.
"We're not in this for the glory." Torakak reminded, "We're just here to have fun."
"I know." Goten sighed. **But some glory would be nice once in a while.**
*****
The group gathered as they went to the Amateur Rounds preliminaries.
"Well, looks like we won't be battling each other." Torakak muttered as he frowned.
"That's okay." Rosemary said, "I want to battle in the rounds and I might not be much against you guys."
"What about the Spirit Kioken?" Earl asked.
"No! Besides, I would collapse after that." Rosemary muttered as she still remembered the first time she did that powerful but deadly move.
"Hey, you just need to practice on it." Torakak advised, "Any powerup move is needed to destroy enemies."
"But it nearly killed me. Besides, it's a tournament."
"Right."
"You may do it anyway." A new voice said as Torakak and everyone else glanced over to see a young man with long black hair and ice blue eyes.
"Seventeen!" Torakak greeted, "How's it going?! I heard that you were here."
"Ummm..." Seventeen said as he glanced at everyone else. "I'm sorry but my memory banks must be faulty or something. But, who are you?"
"Huh?" Torakak pointed to himself, "Didn't anyone tell you? Aw man."
Seventeen frowned as he shook his head. He looked like Piccolo but his ki wasn't like him. Also, his body language was very different from other Namekians he met in the past.
"It's me."
"Me who?"
"Foolish, cyborg." Vegita said, "Can't you recognize a former Saiyan when you see him?"
"Sai- no. No, it's not physically possible." Seventeen said as he gazed closer, "Goku?"
"I was. Now, I'm Torakak."
Seventeen sighed. "I isolated myself for nine years and all this happened." He looked over at the other members, "Who are you?"
"Oh, this is Earl Grey, Yamcha's son, this blue girl is Rosemary, and you know the rest."
Seventeen nodded to the two. "Well, good luck in the rounds. You'll need it."
"Right." Earl muttered.
"So, you're Eighteen's brother. That's cool. I can see a resemblance." Rosemary said as she smiled.
Seventeen nodded to the young woman. "We're twins."
"Oh. Cool."
Goten glanced up to see Seventeen and Rosemary smiling to each other. **Hey! Seventeen is much older than Rosemary. No, they're not flirting with each other.**
******
After the Preliminaries, everyone gathered in the area where all of the fighters for the Amateur rounds. There were fourteen slots for the fights. Rosemary, Torakak, Seventeen, Choutsu, and Earl Grey stood together as they watched the various fighters gather.
"They feel so weak." Rosemary muttered, "I hope I get some of them first."
"You'll do fine." Torakak comforted.
A tall man with blond hair and dark sunglasses came up. "Hello, I'm the new Announcer."
"Hey! You look just like the old announcer when he was your age." Torakak observed.
"He's my father."
"Cool."
"And here we are at the gathering area for the fighters." Maria announced as she walked in. "Hello." She went up to the Announcer and said, "How does it feel to continue your father's legacy?"
"I'm very excited. I heard that many odd things happen around here. I'd like to see it happen."
"Aren't you disappointed that the Great Mr. Hercule Satan won't be fighting?"
"Actually, no." The Announcer replied, "I'd like to see someone else win for a change. But the way Mr. Satan fight is impressive even for someone his age."
Choutsu and the other fighters giggled as Maria and the Announcer glanced confused. A powerful stench filled the air as Earl became pale. "Gah!"
"Pewhew!" Torakak said as he clamped both hands over his nose. "No, it's not possible." Flashbacks of Goku's first tournament flashed through his head as his face paled.
"I feel sick." Earl said as his face turned to a shade of green.
"Gross." Maria muttered as she ran away with her cameraman in tow.
"Awww..." A woman said as she came up. Everyone looked over to see a tall fat woman with long stringy greasy hair, with hairy armpits with matching hairy legs and arms. She was dressed in nothing but a bikini.
Announcer counted everyone and said, "Okay, everyone is here." He pulled out a gas mask. "Now, everyone draw out a number and I'll write it up. Now, let me see who's here." He got out a list.
"Simon?"
A tall handsome man came up. He was tall with blond hair and blue eyes. His jaw was square and yet he had a twinkle in his eye. Rosemary turned red as she looked at him. "Here." He said as he got out a ball.
"Okay, you got number three."
"Betty Bacteriana?"
"Heeh heeh." The smelly woman stepped forward and the fighters stepped aside.
She drew out a number.
"Okay, you have number eight."
"Rosemary?" The Announcer asked.
"Here." Rosemary came forward and drew out a seven. "Oh no." She said as she looked up at the chart.
"Sorry. You will have to fight, Betty Bacteriana."
Everyone drew out the numbers. It was Sonic vs. Hedgehog. Simon vs. Clair. Mario vs. Luigi. Rosemary vs. Betty Bacteriana. Earl Grey vs. Picard. Torakak vs. Dr. Pain. Seventeen vs. Numero. Choutsu vs. Mr. Mime.
"Bummer. Looks like we won't get to fight each other in the first rounds." Earl said as he look at the chart.
"That's okay." Rosemary said, "I want to fight someone normal for a change."
"Just be careful not to kill them." Choutsu advised.
"Easy for you to say. I have to fight one of the most disgusting fighters in history."
"Let's go, Rosemary." Seventeen advised, "We have to be at the ceremony."
"Right."
*****
It was bright as Maria Kline and the Announcer stood at the front. Maria grinned as she said, "Hello, viewers! And welcome to the beginning rounds of this match. Let us watch Mr. Satan as he said his speech."
The two looked over to a huge booth where Mr. Hercule Satan stood there next to Uub.
"Greetings! I am the protector of Earth. I regret retiring now but there are more powerful fighters out there who will take the my place." Mr. Satan boomed.
As usual there's a cheer throughout the stadium. Gohan moaned as Pan rolled her eyes.
"I must admit, there are much stronger warriors than myself and I wish the best of luck to all of them. Now, let's bring it on!"
Maria and the Announcer applauded with everyone else as Maria spoke to the camera again. "Incredible. Well, I wish Mr. Satan the best of luck to his retirement. Don't you agree, Mr. Announcer?"
"Absolutely, Ms. Kline. Now, let's go to our commercial breaks."
The two smiled as the cameraman waved his hand. "And we're clear."
"Good." Maria muttered, "This tournament had been such a surprise after another. That kid still bothered me."
"Don't feel too bad about it." The Announcer said, "I've seen some pretty hectic tournaments when I was watching Dad. There was this one kid who turned into a giant monkey in the middle of the arena."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty nervous."
"You'll do fine. Come on, let's go and see the matches."
*****
The first three matches flew by as the fighters fought. Sonic won over Hedgehog with his lighting speed. Simon won his easily by just charming Clair into submission. Mario and Luigi were a more even match since the two were Italian twin brothers. Finally, it was Rosemary's turn.
The young fighter came up to the ring as the Announcer said, "And now, a newcomer to our tournament. She is true blue with obvious fighting skill and power. Ms. Rosemary!"
Rosemary went on the ring as cheers boomed on her. She could hear everyone she knew shouting encouraging words to her as she waved.
"Good luck, Princess!"
"Rosemary! Don't think about the stench!"
"You can do it!"
"And in the other corner is the daughter of the powerful Bacterian himself, Betty Bacteriana the smelliest woman on Earth!"
Betty Bacteriana went up as cheers and then groans overcame them. A tall stinky old man stood up in a middle of empty seats. "That's my girl!" The Announcer got out his gas mask and pulled it on.
Rosemary gulped as she came forward. "Rosemary! Remember what you are!" Torakak yelled out.
"Remember?" She asked confused. She knew exactly what she is. She is a Blue Elf who had never met another one of her kind. She is the daughter of a wannabe ruler of Earth.
The stench overcame her as she stood there.
"Fight!" The Announcer yelled out as he ran to the side.
"Ha ha ha!!!" Betty laughed as she came forward and shoved her armpit over Rosemary's face.
Rosemary's face turned to a shade of interesting green. She held her breath as she shoved herself away. Betty belched at the girl as Rosemary turned greener. "No." She coughed as she got up.
"That's my girl." Bacterian said to the nearest person who was several seats away.
Rosemary looked up and then remembered. "Of course." She held her breath as she tugged and pulled.
"Huh?" Betty wondered as she watched Rosemary got up and smiled. She put her nose in her pocket as she stood there.
"You see, Betty, I'm a Blue Elf. You don't know that Blue Elves are born without noses. Of course, I was given an artificial nose when I was a kid. I lived with it for so long that I felt it was like a part of me. Up until now, I had it on all the time." Rosemary said as she flew up, picked up Betty and tossed her into the pool. "I can't smell."
"Looks like a deja vu as Rosemary defeated the odorous Betty Bacterian." The Announcer said as he took off his gas mask.
"Wow we." Torakak said as he went up to Rosemary who was fixing her face. "That was awesome!" "I didn't know you have an artifical nose." Earl admitted as Rosemary checked her mirror.
"Yeah, it was the latest in plastic surgery." Rosemary explained as she smiled.
"You know, Krillian defeated Betty's father because he couldn't smell too." Torakak recalled fondly. "Oh boy. It was funny. At first, he nearly passed out because of the stench and then Goku reminded him that he had no nose and hence no sense of smell."
"Goku?" Rosemary repeated as she looked around at the other strangers. She had forgotten that Goku and Torakak shouldn't be known to be the same person. "Right."
Next, it was Earl and Picard. There wasn't much of a match between the two. Basically, Earl just knocked him out of the ring in 1.5 seconds flat. As usual, he just lightly jabbed the man.
"Just a few more rounds to go." Choutsu said as he gazed at the sheet. He knew for a fact that he will win against this Mr. Mime but according to the charts, he would have to fight Seventeen and he was hard. It would be interesting to see how long he had against a super powerful Android like Seventeen.
"Nervous, Choutsu?" Tien asked as he came up.
"No." Choutsu lied, "It's just that this is the first time in years I get to fight."
"You'll do fine. You had improved a lot over the years." Tien commented.
"I know. I know." Choutsu glanced over at Mr. Mime. He was tall with a white mask and sunglasses and was dressed in long spandex. "I don't like him."
"Neither do I. He feels familiar." Tien said as he frowned at him. "Oh well. I gotta go and watch Tora's fight."
"Me too."
Torakak was stretching as usual as he glanced up to see that it was his turn. He felt his opponent's ki and smirked. It was very low like the others. "This will be a piece of cake." He said as he went up.
The Announcer introduced, "And in this corner, the green giant of power. The alien from outer space, Torakak!"
Torakak went out wincing a little at the loud cheers and whistles. At that moment, he was in his element. The thrill of battle excited his warrior soul. It was moments like these, he's happy to be on Earth.
"And in this corner, the man of medicine, the only fighter besides Gohan with a Doctorate, the one and only... Dr. Pain!"
A tall muscular man came out on the ring. He was dressed in a typical doctor's coat, with spandex black pants, and matching tank top.
"Ready...fight!" The Announcer said as he ran to the side.
Torakak barred his fangs as he crouched down. Dr. Pain smiled as he looked over. "What an interesting specimen."
"Huh?" Torakak said as he looked up shocked. Most of the time, when he meet up with different people, they would either scream in fear or faint. This was the first time he saw anyone call him a specimen.
"You are very interesting." Dr. Pain said as he reached out, "I am a psychic and I can sense fear. Yes... and their weaknesses."
"Are you going to fight?" Torakak asked as he pouted.
"I am fighting." Dr. Pain said as thousands of hypodermic needles appeared out of thin air.
"GAH!!!" Torakak screamed as he jumped. Memories of long pointy needles filled his head as he lay down trying not to get pricked by them.
"Holy cow!" The Announcer screamed, "He's doing his devastating 'phony needle' attack'!"
"Shit!" Gohan and Vegita said unison.
"That stupid Namekian is still afraid of needles." Vegita grumbled. "Sometimes, he's still immature."
Rosemary watched as Krillian began shouting, "Get over it!"
Chi Chi joined him, "Tora! Don't you dare run out now!"
"Show him what you're made of!" Bulma screamed.
"What's going on?" She asked Choutsu who was looking shocked.
"Oh no! Torakak is afraid of needles." Choutsu explained as Torakak went down to the ground as he inched away.
"Needles?" Earl repeated, "That is dumb."
"If you were surrounded by a thousand needles, would you be scared?" Rosemary asked.
"Good point."
Meanwhile, Dr. Pain laughed as well as everyone else at the way Torakak was huddling in a corner away from the needles. "Give up." Dr. Pain said, "Forfeit."
"N-n-no! Never!" Torakak yelled out as sweat poured down his skin.
"This is humiliating." Goten said as his face turned beet red.
"Enough." Gohan said as he flew down to the ring and yelled out in Namekian, (Dad! You said it yourself that fear is a warrior's worst enemy and that it can destroy us or make us stronger! Please! Don't give in to the fear. They're fake! They're all fake! Fight it please! Don't dishonor us! Don't be defeated by a weak human!)
Torakak opened his eyes and gazed at his oldest son. (Where did you learn Namek?)
(Piccolo.)
(Of course.) Torakak closed his eyes and focused on the man. "No, I can't lose to it. I won't make my son ashamed of me." He muttered as he closed his eyes, put his fingers on his forehead, and vanished.
A fraction of a second later, he reappeared next to the doctor, startling him and getting rid of all the needles. "Now, you forfeit." He growled.
"Gah!" The doctor ran off the ring.
"Wow! What a comeback! Apparently, that was the most astounding mental battles ever!" The Announcer exclaimed as Torakak wiped his brow. Cheers rang out at the man's win.
"Alright!" Torakak let out a v sign for victory and walked off the ring and to Gohan. "Thanks, Gohan."
"No problem." Gohan said as he smiled, "I didn't want you to lose to a weak guy like that."
"Mr. Gohan!" Maria said as she ran up to the warrior, "What did you say to Torakak? What was that language?"
"Just a little something I picked up." Gohan replied, "And what I said is none of your business."
"Yeah." Torakak agreed as they strolled off of the ring.
"That was close." Earl said as he went up, "What's the deal?"
"Oh, I just have a tiny fear of needles." Torakak said as he scratched the back of his head.
"Excuse me." Seventeen said as he went off to fight.
Gohan rose an eyebrow and said, "I remember one time when you were beaten up by Vegita after Ginyu body snatched it. You could barely keep your eyes open let alone walk. But the second you saw that needle, you bolted for the door." Gohan reminisce, "In fact, it took all of Krillian's strength just to keep you in one place."
"Hey! I did not bolt!"
"Well, crawl. It was hard to tell. I was just a kid back then."
"Oh boy." Rosemary watched as Seventeen went up against Numero and punched him out of the ring.
"I'm done." Seventeen said as he came back.
"That was fast."
"I know."
Finally, it was Choutsu's turn. Choutsu got up to the ring with Mr. Mime standing across.
"And in this corner, the former emperor, the psychic being of destruction, Choutsu!" The Announcer announced as there were the usual cheers. Tien was applauding the loudest.
"And in this corner is the super mysterious Mr. Mime."
Mr. Mime came up and said, "Hello, Choutsu."
Choutsu shook as he remembered that voice. "No! It's not possible."
The man took off his outfit to reveal another outfit underneath. Tien's eyes widen as he grabbed the bar. "No way!"
Rosemary stepped back in equal shock. "No!"
"Yes!" Standing there was Toa Pai Pai, the assassin. "I had been training heavily since my defeat so many years ago. Now, I will destroy you!" He announced as he opened his chest and thousands small flying machines flew out and attacked Uubu and Mr. Satan. "They are my killer droids." Toa said, "They will destroy every person in this place. I must warn you, if you try to touch them, they explode. They are also very ki sensitive so if you blast them, they'll blow up with more power than before."
"Oh no!" Choutsu exclaimed as Uubu started to fend off the droids. While Uubu was one of the most powerful fighters in the universe, he couldn't risk having the bomb bots exploding near the weak watchers. He dodged and darted the bots while making sure they weren't touching the shaking Mr. Satan.
Maria did what any other reporter would do in a situation like this. "This is Maria Kline with a late breaking story! The assassin Toi Pai Pai, had just threatened Mr. Satan's life. Is this the end of this man's life?"
"All of our lives are in danger and she's worried about a story?" Majunor asked.
"All right!" Goten said as he flew off into a nearby bathroom. "This is my chance!"
"Wait up!" Pan argued as she went into the other nearby bathroom.
"Oh no." Gohan muttered as his face turned red. A streaks of green and black flew right in front of the assassin.
"What is this?" Maria asked as she looked on. Standing there were two fighters dressed in armor. The man was wearing a bandanna over his head with a pair of sunglasses along with a black jumpsuit with a green vest and shorts over it. The only odd thing about him was a furry belt over his waist. The woman was dressed in an outfit identical to his only it was purple.
"Foolish criminal, prepare to be defeated. I am the powerful and awesome..." The man did a series of poses that involved standing on his head and waving his feet. "The Great Saiyanman!"
The woman crossed her arms as posed beside her, "And I am the Great Saiyan-chan!"
"Prepare to face our wraths." The two said in unison as the pointed to the assassin.
"All right!" Yugin said as he applauded, "Those are some great poses."
"Incredible!" Maria yelled out, "It appears that Goten, the younger brother of the first Great Saiyanman, and Pan Briefs, the daughter of the Great Saiyanman couple had just taken on their great names."
Goten and Pan fell over as Goten asked, "How did you know who I am?"
"We reporters are very perceptive." Maria chided, "Besides, it said so in the script. 'Goten and Pan changes to their costumed identities.'"
Everyone fell over in shock. Choutsu said to the two Great Saiyanman team, "I appreciate the offer but I want to defeat this man myself."
"Awww..." Goten moaned, "But, I like this outfit."
"Come on, Unc." Pan said as she pulled Goten away.
"Besides, I want to win this for myself." Choutsu said as he went over to the assassin. "I'm ready."
"Cute, pip-squeak." Toa Pai Pai said as he rose up and started to punch him. Choutsu avoided the punches with incredible ease.
Meanwhile, Uubu focused his power. He couldn't blast them or punch them without exploding. However, the bots were numerous and he wanted to try this trick on a machine. He folded out his hands and yelled out, "Bots! Turn into chocolate!"
While Choutsu was fighting the assassin, Uubu grabbed the chocolate and stuffed it down his throat. "Quick! Get those chocolate bots!" Torakak ordered as Goten, Trunks, and Vegita flew up and started eating the bots as well.
"This is fun." Goten said as he plopped a bot in his stomach. Suddenly, a huge boom echoed through the room. Uubu moaned as he clutched his stomach.
"I believe that the bots can still explode." He said as he got up.
"Who cares? We can handle this." Vegita said as he gulped down more chocolate. Another chocolate bot exploded in his stomach. "*Groan*. This is bad." Choutsu avoided another blast and said, "That's it." He flew up and punched him left and right. His fists became blurs as Toa Pai Pai's cybernetic parts flew off. In the end, all that was left was a broken man.
"**Whew**." Choutsu said as the remaining bots fell to the ground.
"Ummm..." The Announcer checked to see that the fallen opponent was still breathing. "Choutsu wins!"
Cheers arose as Choutsu smiled and waved.
"Wait! Let's not forget those who saved my life." Mr. Satan said as he gestured to the Saiyan men and Uubu who were holding their stomachs in pain.
"Goten?" Trunks muttered.
"Yeah?"
"Remind me not to make exploding chocolates." Trunks fell over as Pan and Videl flew up to the group.
*****
Maria stood in front of the main first aid section. "This is Maria Kline, coming in. The tournament had just been put on hold after Mr. Satan's saviors had _eaten_ the bots that would've blown him and everyone else to the Next Dimention." She went over to a older woman who was dressed in a pink and green Chinese Dress. "Hello, Ms. Are you the mother of Mr. Gohan and Mr. Goten?"
"Yes, I'm Chi Chi." She said as she looked up at the camera. "No interviews!" She screamed as she walked in and slammed the door.
"Ummm..." Maria turned red as Torakak came out. "Sorry about that." Torakak said, "Chi Chi is under a lot of stress." "I see." Maria tilted her head. "So, tell me, how are they doing?"
"Pretty good. They are just having a bad tummy ache."
"Will they be able to fight in the Professional Rounds?" Maria asked.
"Of course! They are all very strong. They just need to recover." Torakak explained, "I gotta go and get ready."
Maria nodded as she stepped to the side to allow the Namekian to pass.
"Wow. This is incredible for the first rounds." Maria said to the camera. "What will happen next?"
"Hey!" Torakak said, "That's my line."
To Be Continued...
Hi! Torakak here again! What a tournament! And it isn't even halfway done yet. Next up. The big matches. Choutsu vs. Seventeen. Me vs. Earl. Rosemary vs. Simon. Also, will the other Saiyans be okay enough to fight in the Professional Rounds?
Next up.
More Battles! The Tournament heats up.
