Okay, my computer is working now, but I'm grounded so I have to secretly
use my laptop for "homework" and rely on a very nice friend to post for me
(THANK YOU ANIME REBEL!) For all you who think this is unrealistic then I
have some news for you:
*If you don't like it, don't read it! No one is force you; it would just be
a huge compliment to me if you did!
*It's called fanfiction because people are FANS of FICTION. No one really
seems to enjoy reading about every-day life. (How boring would that be?
Sally woke up, ate breakfast then went to school. She learned how to
multiply today! -.- wow. how....exciting ^O^ *yawn* ^O^ now do you people
really want to read that?)
*It's a LOT harder and takes a lot more courage to post your work than
sending anonymous reviews criticizing people's writing!
(In case you haven't noticed yet this is directed to a certain reviewer.
You know who you are!)
*Whoever said she was the one who got them to switch bodies? Let me just
say this, she hasn't gained any powers.
*I see your point if you think this is a "Mary Sue" because I write in the
first person, but actually that's just the way I write any story. It comes
naturally for me.
*I refuse to be influenced by one review out of the other 56, I promise you
that.
Ok? Are we all clear? Good! Now for those who are on my side, on with the
story, those who don't want anything to do with me or my writing, don't let
the door hit you on the way out and good ridens.

Chapter 10; The Tournament
I leaned against a large boulder panting loudly. I had finally reached the forest; it really didn't seem that long a run on the map! It had taken me all night long to get here and now the sun was just peeking up from the horizon.
Because of the lack of light, I had stumbled and fallen many times and there was dirt all over me. Blood covered my hands, seeped through the knees of the gi, and my face pained me from the scratches. I looked at my palms and the sticky red liquid that clung to them.
I must have looked so horrible right then! My entire body ached; my eyes stung from not getting a wink of sleep, and a bruise had formed from my necklace bouncing while I was running, but I knew I had to keep going. I lifted my limp body and forced myself onward.
Finally, I found a small pond and smiled weakly (if you bother to call it a smile at all). I didn't even care about my clothes and walked into the chilled water. I let my knees go weak beneath me and felt the wonderful the sensation of freezing numbing water surround me, washing away the oozing blood and piercing pain.
I was so tempted to just let go and not even bother about rising back up to the surface; I could have just put myself out of my misery. But instead I kicked out of the miniature lake and flopped onto the grass surrounding it in the shade.
I looked with heavy eyelids at the cloudless blue sky and thought about the poem I had found. Had it really been a poem? It was more like....a spell!
That was it! It was a spell! Answers suddenly came to my mind, of course! It was so obvious! I had to find some way to tell Gohan! But that was my last thought before my eyes grew heavy, and a soft warm breeze lulled me into a gentle sleep....
~*~
~A/N: Okay, you guys know the tournament part so I'm just going to skip ahead. Gohan is going to fight Kibbito (sp?) and he's already powered up. Then Yamoo and Spulfavich (I really don't know how to spell those!) come running in to stab him okay? Okay.~
~*~
I awoke from my nap to find it was mid-day. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I stood and yawned. I thought about finding shelter and food when it felt like my body was being crushed and pulled apart at the same time.
'Oh no, not again!' I thought as I shut my eyes tight.
~*~
I opened my eyes to see a bright golden light surrounding me, I was Gohan, that was no surprise, but I was in SS form! The power I felt, it was amazing! But then it was also hard to keep it at this high a level.
I strained to keep this light and power at its maximum while looking ahead. I was at the tournament with Kibbito in front of me, a surprised look plastered all over his face. Just then I felt a strange feeling of other powerful levels and whipped around, taking a fighting stance at the two in front of me.
Just as I was about to throw a punch, I was paralyzed by an unseen force and seized violently by the biggest. The other drew back a strange looking object, then rammed it forward and into my side. I yelled out in pain and agony, but no matter how much I struggled, I could not move under the paralyzing magic or strength of the enormous man.
After what seemed like eternity, I was released and fell, my energy gone, but the pain had lessened very much.
I lied there and managed to mumble, "What happened?" Kibbito was at my side and told me to be still.
I felt a strong hand at my back, then it pushed down firmly and my strength was renewed immediately.
I stood looking at my hands, "What did you do? I feel even stronger than before!" I said to Kibbito.
"I'll tell you on the way." He replied and blasted into the air, following the others already far ahead.
I automatically went after him, but then stopped and realized, I WAS FLYING! Though I WAS in Gohan's body I didn't know I had his powers! Now the rest of the spell clicked, everything fit in place like one giant puzzle.
'If only I could tell Gohan!' I thought as I sped up only half listening to Kibbito.
I thought of Gohan and wondered what exactly he was doing right now. Those scrapes and scratches weren't exactly comfortable, but there was nothing I could do; I just hated the fact that he would see me in my messiest phase yet.
~*~
~A/N: okay, the rest of this is the same (Does this explain why Gohan was such a terrible fighter against Deborah? Hehehe, it's really cool how it just fits in the story!) so I'm going to skip ahead to where they come back out of the spaceship and go to where the shell is outside and Shin and I are about to attempt to destroy it. Okay, onward and outward!~
~*~
I looked at the brown shell with anger; it had to be destroyed! I heard something behind me and turned to see Gohan in my body. At first I was glad, then again, I did NOT want my body being destroyed by this monster if he ever emerged from his shell!
"How long has it been?" he asked in a fierce whisper.
"What? I don't know! That's not my biggest worry right now! Get out of here before you get killed! " I whispered back.
"It's important! And you're taking just as big a risk!"
"How did you get here?"
"Goten and Trunks gave me a lift."
"How did you get them to do that?"
"I told them I would give them both a kiss later, but that doesn't matter right now!"
"YOU WHAT?" I yelled.
"HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?" he yelled back.
I suddenly noticed Shin watching us strangely, looking back and forth as the other spoke.
"I don't know ELIZABETH," I said through clenched teeth, "about four hours I assume."
"Good." He breathed.
"Now if you don't mind I'm going to try and kill this THING before it hatches and destroys the entire planet!"
I turned back to Shin and flashed a huge white smile.
"Shall we?"
He smiled and shook his head.
"You sure are a bizarre bunch!" he said stepping forward.
"You have no idea." I replied under my breath.
Just as I put my hands up to form an energy ball, I felt the familiar feeling of being pulled apart and crushed at the same time.
~*~
I only watched in horror as Buu walked up yet again to Shin; he couldn't die, I wouldn't let him! Gohan was deep into the forest, Vegeta was gone, Piccolo had fled to the lookout with Krillin, Goten, and Trunks, obviously forgetting about myself and thinking Shin was dead, Goku was nowhere to be found, and Shin was being beaten, already an inch away from death.
Buu picked him up by his throat, "You no fun no more!" he exclaimed putting his other enormous hand to Shin's chest.
"No," I whispered, "NO!" my whisper became a scream as I held up my hand and shut my eyes.
I looked up to find Shin lying on the ground and Buu in the distance, crashing through various mountains. I ran up to Shin and checked for a pulse, he was alive, but just barely.
"My energy is not very pure and it isn't very strong, but it's all I've got. And if I need to give it to you in an attempt to keep you alive and help the planet, just that bit, then I say it's worth it." I whispered softly to him.
I looked at my hands and concentrated on the little power that I had.
'Kibbito can do it and so can Dende, I must try as well!' I thought putting my hands on his back.
'Wait! Should I hold my hands at a distance like Dende, or in contact like Kibbito?' I panicked, what should I do?
Finally, I decided they should be close as to not direct the energy elsewhere, but not on the skin so the energy wouldn't be pressured into his body. With my hands about an inch away from his back, I closed my eyes and tried to feel my energy. I felt the dirt that had mixed with my blood and sweat on the surface; digging deeper, I felt the blood flowing through my veins, I felt my breath at a steady rhyme, I felt my muscles aching, then I felt my energy, circulating inside and throughout all of these.
It was so difficult to grab onto it and take hold, my energy moved at a rapid pace, I prayed to God that I would be able to do it, but it seemed hopeless. Suddenly, I reached in and drew the energy out, and just as we both opened our eyes, he took the life, and I took to pain while being completely inanimate.
~*~
~A/N: Okay, here comes the confusing part of this chapter. Since the beginning of this story, it has been in the first person of Elizabeth, but now, just for this little part, I have to switch it to the first person of Shin. 1) Because he's my second favorite character 2) Elizabeth's out like a light right now and I need to fill in this gap or you won't get it and it would be kind of confusing. I'll tell you when I switch back. *In high pitched Spongebob voice* Okay, here we gooooooooooooo!
~*~
I awoke to see the young girl they call Elizabeth kneeling beside me, her hands outstretched towards me and a white light coming from them. At first I could not tell what she was doing, but then it occurred to me, she was giving her energy to me!
My wounds had disappeared and I had enough strength to lift myself off my feet. As soon as I opened my eyes she fell unconscious from the gift she had given. I caught the girl before she hit the hard ground and noticed she had been the one who sent Buu through those mountains!
How was it that a human girl had this ability? I had never seen this performed before by girl of her race! It puzzled me deeply, but I knew Buu would be very angered by her attack and would come after her to quench his thirst for death.
I stood, taking the girl in my arms. The energy was weak, as I had heard her say before, but it was enough to keep me going. If I could get her in a safe place, then I could try to find Gohan.
Something bright caught my eye and I looked down at my torn garments to see there were scarlet stains where she leaned against me. I stopped in the shade of a cliff and took farther examination.
She was covered in dirt and blood and I wondered how she got so torn up with out even fighting. Her attire as well was torn and dirtied with dried blood, so much that the outfit she wore was almost secluded from the eye; almost.
It was a gi that she wore, and one that was very familiar, one identical to Goku's! Had she stole it; I wondered. Perhaps it was only a coincidence. But then her boots were the same as well, no, I would not jump to conclusions, I would wait until her awakening and question her then.
I set her down gently on the dirty rock surface and walked forward. I wanted to take flight, but I knew my energy had to be reserved, I had a long way to go. After what I estimated to be thirty minutes I reached a thick forest of which would take me even longer to walk through. My energy once again ran low and I fell face forward unconscious like Elizabeth.
~*~
I came out of my sleep to find Kibbito at my side. Was I dead?
"Kibbito!" I cried, "I thought you were killed at the hand of Deborah!"
"Master, I believe the Dragonballs brought me from death."
I smiled glad to have him back, then became solemn, "We must find Gohan!"
And soared into the air with him at my side. Once we were fooled by a deer, but found him after. Kibbito at once told me he was alive and put a hand to his back.
"No Kibbito," I said to my guardian holding out my arm to stop him, "wait until we get home."
"But master-" he argued.
"And after we get someone else."
He looked at me completely dumbfounded, then I ordered him to pick up Gohan and follow me. I led him to where I had laded Elizabeth and told him to put Gohan down.
"Master, excuse me for saying so, but Gohan alone is not worthy enough to set foot on our planet, why do you insist on bringing this human girl worth nothing at all to the eye?" Kibbito said expressing the word human as though it was foul.
"I owe this girl my life." I replied quietly, "Lets go home."
~*~
I was going to make it longer, but I think it's long enough for a while, don't you? WELL I HOPE SO 'CAUSE IT TOOK AN AWFULLY LONG TIME! *Smoothes hair back* of course, then again, I was going to cut it off way back to where she changes with Gohan, but I was in a good mood, so I kept going. Well anyway, the next chapter won't come for a LONG while, so review or I won't go to the trouble okay? Good.
(To the earlier reviewer; you know who you are.) Some people would read your review, delete it, call you a bitch, and tell everyone they knew you were the worst person who walked the face of the Earth. Others would delete the entire story, shrivel up into a ball, lock themselves in their room, and never come out again. But I'm not like that (in this case). I'm the kind of person, who holds out a hand to shake, says fair game, and good luck if you ever write a story of your own. But I'm also the kind of person who's not influenced easily. It's great to have your own opinion, share it with others if you wish to do so, but it's even better when people have an opinion of there own. Believe it or not, some people do enjoy my story. Others may share your opinion and not like it, but if they don't, then I don't know why they're reading it in the first place. I'm not a poor sport, and I'm not a baby, I'm a fair player and an honest writer. I'm being honest with all my readers by not erasing your review, no matter how horrible or unthought out it was; it will remain.
