Forbidden Love
I don't really have anything to say right now, other than the fact that I'm starting a mailing list, so here's the chapter:
_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_
"Gohan, I finally realize that I have been selfish to you," Chichi said to Gohan in the waiting area after his first fight.
Gohan's first fight had been against some giant turquoise and white beast that the Grand Kai had called a Maldus, from the eastern side of the universe. It had red, orange, and yellow hair running down its back, three sharp-looking black claws on each of its four hands, and two black horns on its head. It could also stand on its six legs, while having four arms to attack (Author's Note: I didn't like the fact that nearly all of the aliens had to be humanoid, even if slightly, so most of them look just weird). The "Maldus" had been taken out of the ring with a very light punch, despite being one of the favourites.
Continuing on, Chichi said, "All I ever wanted you to do was to have a nice girlfriend and get grandchildren. Actually, the only thing that I didn't want you to have to do was to fight for your life and others'. I knew that you would want to fight when you were born because of what your father was like, so from your birth I tried to occupy your time with constant and insane studying.
"When you left with your father to a reunion of his friends, I didn't think at all that you'd be kidnapped by my brother-in-law that I never knew I had, and another time later, by Piccolo. When Bulma came to tell me that your father had passed on, and that you had been kidnapped to train to fight Vegeta and that other Saiya-jin, I cried for hours. I didn't even care that your father was an alien or that you were half-alien.
"But when I saw you at the Cell Games, courageously standing up to Cell, even when you didn't think that you could win, I realized that fighting was what you love, and there is no changing that. I thought that I was trying to help you, but I ended up being overprotective and selfish." By now tears were streaming down Chichi's face, and were threatening to burst through Gohan's solid eyes.
"Mom… I… I don't want to fight. I never wanted to fight. The only reason that I do it is because I have to. I may be the strongest warrior in the universe, but deep down I am still just an insecure eleven-year-old boy," said Gohan. "I am only in this tournament as a way to pass the time."
Chichi sniffed, "Okay son, give it your all."
"I will."
--------_________---------
"Okay!" yelled Grand Kai. "We are entering the second round of this here Otherworld Tournament! Of the thirty-two fighters that participated, only sixteen remain! On a recap of the last round, in the first fight, Gohan, a half-saiya-jin, half-human that isn't even dead for some reason that I'm too lazy to explain again, knocked out Virament, a Maldus with one punch that didn't show a lot of effort in it!
"In the second fight… blah blah blah blah blah… and so the match-ups for this round are: Gohan vs. Kwauglin! Milangdon vs. Ockaan! Salin vs. Zyscher! Pikkon vs. Kainton! Goku vs. Squahil! Lazik vs. Junto! Whilto vs. Klass! And finally, Hanti vs. Xoc!" The crowd went insane with cheering.
Gohan and Kwauglin, basically a one-eyed green ant that could stand on its legs, stepped into the ring. "Okay, fighters, take your stances and… FIGHT!" shrieked the referee, Ref.
Kwauglin charged at Gohan at a very slow speed (to Gohan). It tried to deliver a left hook at Gohan's head, but at the last second, Gohan moved his head back. Startled, yet still confident, Kwauglin threw a sidekick at Gohan's solar plexus, only to have its leg grabbed. Gohan swung around and around and let go. The ant crashed into a planet, and fell to the ring, unconscious.
"Okay, Kwauglin is unable to fight anymore, Gohan advances to the third round!" yelled Ref. The crowd went psycho again.
Things went by pretty quickly after Gohan's fight. Ockaan triumphed over Malingdon by sheer luck, Salin defeated Zyscher by using telekinesis to throw him out, Pikkon beat Kainton with a single kick, Goku spent half a minute looking dumb, twelve seconds being beaten up, and five seconds miraculously beating Squahil, and Lazik, Klass, and Hanti won their fights.
"Alright! The fights for the quarterfinals: Gohan vs. Ockaan! Salin vs. Pikkon! Goku vs. Lazik! And last but not least (however least important to the story), Klass vs. Hanti!" yelled the spunky old Kai. "Let us all give a cheer for these wonderful fighters!" He waited for the crowd to shut up. "And now, here are Gohan and Ockaan!"
Ockaan, a Histoc, is a creature like a cat, but its red skin is stretched tightly over the bones so that it looks very disgusting. It has a blue face and two violet eyes with black stripes surrounding them, and, of course, it could stand on its hind legs. Anyway, Gohan and Ockhaan stepped into the ring to begin their fight.
Gohan decided to have a little bit of fun in this round. Ockaan charged at Gohan with his right fist behind him, slowly moving forward (at least to Gohan). The punch connected and sent Gohan flailing to the ground. The Histoc tried to pounce onto the young demi-saiya-jin for some reason, but Gohan blocked it with his feet and propelled Ockaan into the air at a very fast pace.
Gohan flew up into the air, above where Ockaan was going end up, and stuck out his fist. Ockaan's head went straight into it. Ockaan started falling back down into the ring, feeling very weak and exhausted. Gohan charged back down, past Ockaan, and gave it a scissorkick, like soccer players, in its back. Ockaan flew straight through the bleachers into the ground.
"The winner of this action-filled match: Gohan!" yelled Ref. Again the crowd went insane, chanting, "Gohan! Gohan! Gohan!"
"Okay, awesome performance by Gohan!" yelled Grand Kai. "The next match: Salin vs. Pikkon!"
Trust me, this fight wasn't a fight at all, just like all of Gohan's fights. Pikkon gave Salin, the only humanoid alien, well actually it was a human [1], other than Gohan, Goku, and Pikkon, a hook in the jaw before it could use any of its psychic powers. Salin flew right into the wall and crashed to the floor.
"Okay, nice fight. The next match-up: Goku vs. Lazik!" yelled Grand Kai.
Again, it was not a real fight. Lazik threw a very powerful round-kick at Goku's head. All it succeeded in doing was breaking Lazik's leg off, as Goku was too sturdy to be moved. Goku then pushed the hobbling Lazik out of the ring.
"Uh… Very interesting. Now, the final fight of the quarterfinals: Klass vs. Hanti!" screamed the Grand Kai.
Bad fight alert! Klass charged at Hanti quickly. Too quickly. Hanti ducked, and Klass flew right into the bleachers. Done.
"Well that was a very uninteresting quarterfinals, now wasn't it?" said the Grand Kai sarcastically. "Anyway, after a hopefully short interlude for the author to write the next chapter, we will continue with the semifinals: Gohan vs. Pikkon, and Goku vs. Hanti!"

The side of Chichi that you've never seen before! I'm not the best fight writer, sorry, but I tried my best. I think that I'm better at making up really weird names. Well, more on the mailing list.
