By My Side

Chapter 3

Buluma and Chi-chi were excited as they entered the woman's locker room at the Tenkaichi Budokai. The ten year old twins were happy that they would finally get some action. It took a lot of persuasion to get a personal sensei and then to let them enter the tournament after only having two years of training. The Ox King was scary at first because of his size. When they got to know him, the twins learnt that he was a pretty decent guy. It took the Ox King almost twenty years to learn from the great Master Roshi, but the girls learnt everything he knew in a little over a year. They even mastered the powerful energy blast, the Kamehameha wave, in ten minutes which took the Ox King 5 years. The Ox King was very proud of them and had the confidence that one of them would the Tenkaichi Budokai easily.



The bond that the twins had shared was incredible. They were able to feel each others ups and downs. They could even talk to each other telepathically. They always feel as if they were missing something or someone. The Briefs had told them about how they think that Buluma and Chi- chi were from outer space, because they were found in pod-like ships and have blue tails. They concluded that their mother or sibling(s) was calling out to be with them. They vowed that when they are old enough they will go looking for them.



Chi-chi was the first one dress. Her red gi matched perfectly with her hair and black baggy pants. Buluma's gi was similar to Chi-chi's except hers was light blue.

"Hey Chi, you better tuck in your tail before someone grabs it."

"Thanks Blue, I didn't want that to happen although I would kill that person once they let go." Chi-chi lifted up her shirt then wrapped her tail around her waist and lowered her shirt to cover it.

"Chi-chi you could be so evil sometimes, you know that right?"

"You are the one to talk Buluma."

"Who little old me?" then Buluma pouted because she felt insulted. "I never cause trouble."

"Ha that was real funny Blue." Buluma stuck her tongue at her. They went back and front until the qualifying rounds started.



Since there were 200 fighters competing, eight battle platforms held 25 warriors on each. Buluma and Chi-chi went their separate ways so that they could fight each other in the finals.

:: How are you doing Chi? ::

:: I was doing great until you caused me to get kick in the nose. ::

:: You got kicked in the nose ha-ha.ouch. See now I got punched in my stomach. ::

:: That is what you get, now leave me alone. ::

:: Don't talk to me either. ::

:: Hello Buluma, you started talking first, Baka. ::

:: Well just leave me alone. I got hit again because of you. ::

:: Fine with me! ::

:: FINE! ::

~ I so hate her! ~ they both growled inwardly.



Quarter Finals

Match 1- A green guy named Piccolo defeated a three eyed man named Tenshinhan after they went at each other for a few minutes with a kick to the back of Tenshin's head that knocked him out.

Match 2- Buluma knocked out the scarred faced teenager named Yamacha with one blow to his face because he called her weak and helpless.

Match 3- Chi-chi got angry with her opponent because he started eating a hero in the middle of the ring so kicked him into the stadium wall.

Match 4- A very pale looking kid named Chaozu stood his ground against an old man named Jackie Chun until Jackie moved behind him and gave a karate chop that instantly knocked him out.



Semi-Finals

Match 1- Buluma vs. Piccolo

:: Go get him Blue cause I want to fight you in the finals. ::

:: Don't worry he won't last a second. :: Buluma walked to Piccolo and he smirked.

"Are you so sure that I won't last a second?" Piccolo asked.

"Wait, how did you hear us?" Buluma questioned.

"I will tell you if you defeat me. Now hurry up and power up. I want a real workout from you."

Buluma charged up for a minute then attacked Piccolo head on. He either blocked or dodged all of her attacks. Piccolo tired of just doing defense, attacked faster than anyone could see. The crowd gasped when they saw Buluma lying outside of the ring. After Piccolo was declared the winner, he walked towards where Buluma was still sitting trying to figure out how she ended up out of the ring.

"You are very good but you could be a whole lot better. I will make sure that you are."

~ What did he mean by that? Oh well, I might as well go cheer Chi-chi on. ~
