Chap. 5

As the monorail continued on its course, the group was left pondering Rose's words. Dark presence. Be on guard.

Gohan was looking out of one the window, "We should keep on alert. No telling what to expect out there."

Krillian shrugged, "How can we be sure she was even telling the truth? I mean, we don't even know who she is."

Tien looked at him, "I don't know either. But I don't think she was lying."

"She mentioned that there were others who know about her. We should try to find one." Piccolo spoke, looking out of the opposite window.

Goku nodded, "Right. We'll check if when we fight our opponents. Right or wrong, we have to be careful."

The monorail stopped again, this time on high bridge in the middle of a highway.

"Fighter #6: Piccolo. Please exit the monorail."

Goku nodded, "Alright, remember to see if you can find any that know Rose."

"Sure."

The second monorail was already there. Before Piccolo, a dark-skinned, skinny man stood before him. However, Piccolo could feel a strange power emitting from him. This could be interesting...

"Fighter # 53: Dhalsim."

Choazu was ready to face Adon. The Muay Thai fighter did a few leg stretches and then faced him. Choazu stuck his hand out in his own stance.

"Round! FIGHT!!!!!!"

Adon instantly jumped up into the air and dove at the little man. Choazu spun to the side, avoiding the sharp kick coming at him. Adon landed softly and lashed his leg out, to which Chaozu ducked. Choazu then rushed at him with a double kick. Although the kick didn't hit him, Adon was thrown of balance a bit and Choazu managed a solid punch in the face. Adon reeled back and rubbed his cheek.

"Not bad for a shrimp."

Adon rushed at him and his knee caught Chaozu, sending him back. Choazu spun a bit and Adon leaped into the in a slashing fashion. Chaozu narrowly dodged it and ran his head into Adon's. In the monorail, the others watched.

"Wow. Chaozu is a lot stronger than before. I guess training with Tien has really paid off."

Chaozu began hitting Adon with a series of airborne kicks and Adon was forced to back away from him. Chaozu struck again, but this time Adon managed to grab his leg and kick him hard. Chaozu rolled and Adon rushed at him.

"Jaguar Knee!"

Adon shop up into the air, ramming Chaozu and sending him further back to the edge of the cliff. Adon jumped up again, this time backwards. Suddenly he swooped forward.

"Jaguar Kick!"

Chaozu dodged to the side, but the kick still grazed him and he slipped off the edge of the cliff. Choazu fell back and grabbed the rim. Adon stood over him, grinning.

"Give up, shorty."

Much to his surprise, Choazu let go of the rim and flew up over him. However, the surprise was brief and Adon rammed his elbow at Choazu. Choazu slid on the ground and stood up again. Adon was charging at him and Choazu remembered something Tien told him.

Use it only when you think it is truly necessary, and if you do, use it once.

Choazu put his hands together and formed a triangle. Choazu began to glow in flames of light blue. Adon stopped and noticed the energy of him.

"Psychic Tri-Beam!!!!!"

A flash of blue energy flailed out at high speed. Adon looked in shock as the beam came at him and suddenly split into separate beams. They still came at him and exploded on impact. But from out of the smoke, Adon jumped out, obviously avoiding the majority of the blast. But his arm was singed and hanging limp by his side. Choazu slumped down, exhausted by the use of the attack. Adon looked ticked. Choazu suddenly stood up.

"I surrender. I forfeit the match."

"Huh?"

Choazu nodded, "I give up." The attack had almost completely drained him and it missed. Looking at Adon, he saw Adon's injury and thought about fighting, but he was in no shape to fight anymore.

Adon grumbled, "You...give up?"

"Yes." Choazu look up at the hover orbs above them, "That's alright, isn't it?"

The voice came out, "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Very well. Your surrender is accepted. Winner: Adon."

Adon grumbled and then let up a smirk, "Good thing too. I was going to give you the beating of you small little life." Adon walked to his monorail, now holding his still burnt arm and muttering curses under his breath. Chaozu also entered, with his head down.

Yamcha put his hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry. You put up a great fight. Even better than me, little guy."

"You really think so?"

Videl smiled as well, "Of course. Especially with that last attack."

"Thank you."

The monorail moved off again.

 Sean looked at his opponent. Peroski was big, but if its one thing he learned from Ken, big people just mean easier target. And this guy doesn't exactly look like the brightest of people.

"Round! FIGHT!!!!!!!"

Peroski roared and charged at Sean. Sean waited for him to come closer and somehow...tackled him. Peroski couldn't believe that a boy half his size was able to take him down. Peroski was even more surprised when Sean began to hammer him down to the floor. He growled and pushed Sean away. Peroski charge again and Sean shook his head. He then fell back slightly, planted his foot in his gut and flipped him. Peroski landed with a thud. Slowly, the big man got up only to Sean's hands cupped together.

"Hado....Burst!!!!"

A high speed energy projectile slammed straight into him and knocked him a good 6 feet across the ground before landing with another thud. Needless to say, Peroski didn't get up after that.

"Super Finish! Winner: Sean!"

Sean jumped up and raised his arm in the air in victory. He then entered the monorail and it took off.

Meanwhile, the battle between Ken and Android 17 continued. Both fighters were beat up really bad. 17 charged at Ken and elbow smashed him. Ken rolled back and 17 rushed at him. Ken got up just in time to block the blow. Ken's fist suddenly blazed in fire.

"Shoryuken!"

The rising dragon fist caught 17 straight in the chin and sent him back. But 17 just stood up, seemingly unaffected.

"If that's your best, then you have a problem."

17 stretched out his hand and fired an energy blast. Ken parried the blast, but was open for 17's kick. It landed square on Ken's chest, sliding him across the ground into a window. 17 grabbed Ken's leg and spun him around several times before letting him go in another direction. As Ken flew, 17 went at him again, but Ken managed to roll on the ground. 17 zanzokened and reappeared behind Ken, but Ken suddenly wheeled on him as he did with his fist blazing again, more fiery this time.

"How about this? Shinryuken!!!!!!!"

17 was completely open to Ken's Shinryuken attack. Ken rose through the air in a column of fire and 17 was caught in flames. The attack finished and Ken landed on his feet while 17 crashed into a nearby car. 17 remained motionless after that.

Super Finish! Winner: Ken!!!!!"

Ken raised his arm and winced as he did. He re-entered the monorail and slumped down in the chair. Ryu came by him.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, just a little dazed. Man, that guy knows how to hit."

"Does this mean the great Ken Masters has lost his touch?" Ryu teased.

Ken looked up at his friend, "A sense of humor? That must be Chun-Li's influence."

Ryu slapped him in the back of his head. Suddenly the monorail stopped suddenly and its door opened.

"Wow that was fast." Sakura noted, "So who do you think is up next?"

"Fighter #33: Sakura. Please exit the monorail and await your partner."

Sakura's eyes widened, "P...partner?"

_____

"Fighter #5: Chun-Li. Please exit the monorail and meet with your partner."

Chun-Li shrugged as she exited the rail, but exclaimed when she saw who it was.

"Sakura!"

"Chun-Li? You're my partner?"

"Looks like it. A tag-team match, eh?"

"Well, let's just beat our opponents and move on. I wonder who they are."

From behind Chun-Li, "Fighter #15: #18. Please exit the monorail and await your partner."

#18 strode out of the rail, "I guess you know now."

Across from them, a third rail came out and opened, "Fighter #51: Videl. Please exit the rail and meet with your partner."

Videl walked out, "So which of you is my partner?"

#18 turned to her, "Looks like it's me."

Videl smiled, "Well, this is a surprise." She walked beside her and looked at the other two.

"So you two know each other?" Chun-Li asked.

Videl answered, "Yes. And you two?"

"Yes."

#18 smirked, "Well, this is going to be a very interesting match."

Chun-Li nodded, "Yes, it is." Turning to Sakura, "Here's the plan. I'll face #18. You'll fight Videl."

Sakura smirked, "Sure. I was planning on facing her anyway."

#18 turned to Videl, "Let's make this quick, Videl."

"Count on it."

"Round! FIGHT!!!!!!"
