A/n - Huge sorry for tremendous lack of updates, I needed this one part
from my friend. This story is like, a side-runner of hers, and I kind of
needed this part. I just kept forgetting to ask her. ~.~
~The tournament~
Kylara woke up, with quite a headache, and little recollection of the day before. Two seconds later, her memory wasn't her problem, but her hunger was. She started walking around, pushing and shoving her way through the crowds of Saiyans in an oddly large group. She then remembered about the tournament... Blah blah blah, you get the picture. Her nose turned her about, and she began sprinting towards a doorway, and a huge buffet table, and dove into it... but was intercepted by a guard. She looked up and growled at him. Giving an equally lethal growl, he spoke.
"Only people who entered the tournament ONLY!"
"I did enter the tournament!"
"Well, if you aren't on my list, then you can go to hell when I'm finished with you."
"I am on the list you over sized freaky monkey-butted gorilla- dominated idiot!!!"
Kylara was startled by herself. Not for her actions towards this over sized idiot, but for how well she talked. She had never talked this well before, not to mention her expansion of dialogue. She blinked, stunned, as the man put her down, and stared at the list. He looked at the list and turned to her.
"What's your name, kid."
"Kylara."
"Um... is this your writing?"
She looked at the paper and saw the name she had scribbled down the day before. She looked at him and nodded. He let her pass, and in her thinking about her change of speech, almost forgot to go to the food table. Almost. She stared at it a good millionth of a split second before devouring everything but the table and the dishes themselves. After she was done, cooks came out (all different species, 'cause if Saiyans cooked, there wouldn't be any food left) (and they're too busy training) and replaced all the food. She went and sat down next to a sheet that had the names and matches written down on them. They were as follows: Nefleign vs. Shiilah; Butch vs. Hans; Grag vs. Chip; Aurora vs. Kylara. She took a good stare at the list, but only recognized three names. Kylara was obviously her own name, and Nefleign was her childhood training partner. But the name Shiilah struck a memory nerve, and it wouldn't stop bugging her. Then it hit her. The doctor from the hospital!!! Wow, a fighter and a medical employee. Impressive. The matches finally began. Watching from the doorway, she watched as Nefleign made mincemeat out of that Shiilah lady. She knew Nefleign was strong, but jeeze! She made it look easy! She walked off the ring and into the locker room with blood covering her fists, none of it apparently her own. Kylara gulped and watched the next two boring fights. First Butch won by knocking unconscious Hans, then the same with Chip to Grag. Kylara was called up to the stage. Some girl about the age of her mother scoffed and made a remark that sealed her fate.
"I 'aft to fight a pipsqueak like this? Yer seconds are numbered ye brat. Weaklin's like yerself are too pathetic to last long, ye hear?"
"You're gonna die before you hit the ground for that one."
With that, the lady named Aurora sprang at Kylara full force, fist pulled back. Kylara just stood there, as though Aurora didn't exist. At the last possible second, Kylara jumped over Aurora's head, and watched as she stupidly stared for a split second before realizing what happened. She missed. When she finally landed from her jump, she immediately took off at Kylara again. Well, for her whole life, the main thing she has ever studied was fighting techniques, and it didn't take long for Kylara to realize that this girl was trained in speed. If you want to call her fast. Kylara just sighed as Aurora made her second go at her. Aurora winced as she jumped though, as though just realizing that Kylara kicked in the back as she jumped. Right as this imbecile woman made a swipe at Kylara yet again jumped over her head. This time she spun around in midair, delivering a fatal punch, and receiving no more than a whole audience of applause after an earsplitting crack from the back of Aurora's skull and a few milliseconds of silence. Kylara just stared and walked off the stage, behind her the medic's uselessly dragging the already dead opponent.
She stared once at Nefleign as she walked past, not paying any head to how well that she herself had done, but more focused on how strong Nefleign had become. It was going to be a great fight, she knew that much. She sat profoundly in a little desolate corner. After a little skirmish between Nefleign and Butch, they went on stage. Chip came over and kicked Kylara directly in the chest. Kylara, who didn't suspect the sudden attack, was completely winded. After a good forty five seconds, she got her breath back, and shot a glare at Chip so venomous, it might've killed him. Except he wasn't there. He was on the other side of the room, telling paramedics that she had to forfeit, due to chest injuries. She marched right over as the bell rang for his and her match, grabbed him by the back of the shirt, and flung him into the ring. Proceeding to follow, the bell had barely rung for the match to begin before the weasel became a fur coat. When she was done with him, he was afraid that if the medics touched him, Kylara would come back and pummel him for being weak.
Kylara got a 10 second breather before the match she had been waiting for began. Kylara and Nefleign walked onto the stage, and bowed to Nefleign, as did Nefleign to her. As soon as the announcer began the match, Nefleign flew at Kylara, pulling back a punch that was probably meant to knock Kylara off. She hated being underestimated. Kylara caught the punch, and threw one of her own. Nefleign caught it, just as Kylara did to hers. It seemed like Nefleign hadn't been the only one to underestimate here...
For about a half an hour they threw punches and kicks at each other. When Kylara punched, Nefleign would block and throw a counter attack, which Kylara caught and added her own counter. In other words, the audience was getting their money's worth out of this fight. Finally, they both let down their defenses and threw a nasty punch at each other at the same, both which landed square in the others jaw. Kylara's head was thrown to her left, and Nefleign's to her right.
They both landed about fifteen feet away from each other at the same time, looking like a mirror we're fighting them. Kylara growled as she wiped the slight trickle of blood away from her lips, while Nefleign cleared away some sweat.
Kylara finally decided that an "energy blast" as that Shiilah had told her about was going to be necessary to win. Nefleign let her guard down as she glanced into the crowd. Kylara, curious, followed her line of vision. Prince Vin and Prince Vegeta! The color nearly drained out of Kylara's face at the sight of Vegeta. She switched her gaze to Vin, who nodded with a slight smirk on his face to her. She turned back to Nefleign and began charging up all the anger in her to make another energy blast. Nefleign did the same. Nefleign and Kylara both began to scream out their attacks.
"Big...!"
An indigo colored light showed up in Nefleign's palms, which were above her head as though she were going to overhead throw a ball.
"Bang...!"
Kylara finally got enough energy in her hands where she couldn't hold it in her little body anymore.
"Lunar Beam!"
"...Attack!"
Both attacks collided with each other half way between the two children. The Dark blue and Indigo lights pushed back and forth against each, both not able to go anywhere or do much of anything except create large amounts of pure energy sparks that lashed out at the opponents and the crowd. Finally, all the energy was spent, and both attacks cancelled each other out. Kylara's energy had been decreased greatly, as was Nefleign's. Nefleign, amazingly, threw another one at Kylara, even if it was half the size of the last one. Kylara was forced back and her back collided with the wall. Her head was forward, so it didn't hit the wall. Kylara fell to the floor, and to the royal, commoners, and opponent's awe, Kylara got back up on her feet.
Vin, who thought that this kid wouldn't last through the first round, had just taken out one big bang attack, and lived through another one, and still got back up! He, Prince Vin, heir to the throne to Vegeta-sei, had a large amount of difficultly doing half of what this...toddler just did. She deserved a royal training partner, and he'd be damned if there was anyone else in his family that got to her first. He smiled with obvious blood lust as he threw a quick glance at his stunned younger brother.
Nefleign stared for a second in shock at her. What a brat! Not only does she defy her, but offends her pride and honor in doing so, and almost proving better than her! She growled, then smirked, realizing that she must be low on energy already.
"Give it up already, Kylara!"
Kylara, who was furious that she had been knocked off her feet more than once by this girl yelled back in rage.
"Never!"
She began sprinting towards Nefleign, hoping that those two energy attacks drained her twice as much as the one had drained herself. Nefleign, being pissed off at "being tossed around like a makeshift left-over underwear tuffle doll", charged up whatever energy she had left in her, and started forming an impossibly third energy attack. She managed to push Kylara aside, she launched the Big Bang Attack. Kylara was slammed hard back into the wall, the back of her snapping back into it as her back got hit hard. The match was Nefleign's as they counted and Kylara couldn't even twitch. She seemed dead, and if she was, Nefleign would have an even larger congratulations. Prince Vegeta jumped from the ring side seats to go congratulate his apprentice. The medics loaded Kylara onto a stretcher. Vin just stared as they walked past him with her. As they neared the ambulance, she amazingly opened her eyes, and looked at Nefleign, who was barely a few inches away. Vin walked over, and stood on the opposite side of the stretcher as Vegeta and Nefleign. His eyes widened in shock as she began to talk.
"Con...grat...ulations Nef...leign."
Then reached up for Nefleign, who was in Vegeta's arms due to her own energy loss, but only got a hold of Vegeta's shirt. She finally passed out, letting go of him. Vin was just shocked. Not only had a toddler, probably only three or so, lived through three count them, three Big Bang Attacks, but had enough energy to talk, and had accepted her defeat and congratulated the winner, Vegeta's own trainee. As they loaded her into the ambulance, Vin, as a last thought, jumped in, to the paramedics surprise, jumped in to "escort" the runner up to the hospital. He was actually making sure that those idiots didn't harm her further. He was going to enjoy "convincing" her to be his training partner. And getting his brother into second place in strength again.
