~~Vampires~~

~Female Tournament~

Last time:

I slowly walked up there. The guard was smirking. "You will fight the first match with her. She is the King's sister." Damn I was scared! The girl went up to me, "Hello, my name's Jay. What's yours?" Behind her I saw ChiChi and 18 in line too...

**

Jay shook my hand, "So what's you name?" What was I gonna say...."My name is Alexis." I lied Jay smiled. I saw her fangs as she did so. "Don't worry. I won't hurt you too bad." Jay remarked. I smiled half-heartedly. I bet I could be a vampire now. My face was already pale.

I stepped into the ring. We both got in our fighting stances. "Hey, Alexis why don't you take off the hood? It'll be easier to fight me without it." I shouldn't be scared. Although I was battling a saiyan Vampire who lived thousands of years and could have trained a lot. I just hope she wasn't too strong. I would put up a fight. I'd act like I had the advantage!

"If you beat me then I'll take it off, but if you don't win then I will keep it on." I bet. Jay said, "Alright, fine with me, but I know I'll win." Not if I can help it. A whistle blew and we stood there glaring at each other. Not mean-like as in I hate you or die! Just a battle face.

Jay charged first. I blocked easily and reapeared behind her. I slammed my fist into her back which sent her sailing along the other side. I wasn't the only one shocked. I never know how much potential I had. And I wasn't afraid to use it. Maybe I would win.

She stood up and wiped the blood off her mouth and she said, " Maybe I misjudged you." We both charged, blocked, and hit. Her fist tried for my stomach but my knee went for the block. I made my way to punch her stomach and hit her. I took my other hand and swung it at her cheek.

Jay was shocked and recovered before she jumped from the ground. I followed after her waiting for a good fight. Good thing my cloak hood was still on! Jay looked at me seriously. She powered up a move and yelled, "Flame!" A red blast flowed through her hands making me fly out of the way.

I kicked her in the leg. Next thing I knew we were face to face. I smirked. Time to do a move I hate, yet love. My head went back a little and then went back and hit her in the forehead. Looked like she didn't expect it. Jay was pretty easy for a bit.

Jay slammed into the ground creating a crater larger than herself. Bulma landed on the ground staring into the crater. Jay floated out and coughed a little. Jay was no longer happy like in the beginning. "Watch my real power." She stated.

I arched an eyebrow as a red aura surrounded her. Followed by a, "AHHH!" She powered up and made a huge wind. From the corner of my eye I saw that thing new King was smirking. Does he always do that? After she powered up I looked at her. Jay did look a lot tougher.

"Take me on in my full power, now." Jay said with a smirk that exactly mirrored that King. Was that her power level? It was only 75,000. Mine was way past that. If I should defeat her, but not let everyone know my full power, then I should power up to about....80,000. That would most likely give me the advantage.

I chuckled lightly. Jay frowned, "I wouldn't be laughing. You'll be the weakling soon." I knew she was going to hit me before I did anything so I flew a little ways away from her as she punched the air that was in. "Let me power up." I say.

"Go ahead." Jay says. That smirk...how annoying and taunting! I can see the amusement in her eyes. Now it was my time to get serious. "We'll just see how much you can take me." I smirk that mirrored the Kings and hers. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Let's not let the audience wait too long."

I glance at the audience. There practically at the edge of their seat. "Sure." I say. A blue aura surrounds me. My cloak is raised a little. I power up without yelling. Then when my power gets past 50,000 I make the effect. I clench my fists and yell, "AHHHH!" The power is so overwhelming. So welcoming. I power up to 75,000 exactly then stop and glance around. Everyone is gaping.

I smile and power up to 80,000. The crowd gasps and Vegeta is still...smirking! I wish he would just stop!! Jay is frowning. "Let's just see who's the stronger one." I nod.

She powers up a blast, "Deflecto Magnem!" She yells. It heads toward me, but I counter it quickly by yelling at the last second, "KAMEHAMEHA!" My blast stops the other and I push it farther down. My blast is about to connect with her body. I push in force and it sends her into the wall that seperates us from the crowd.

Jay groans. I look at her, "Guess you can't handle the heat." She frowns and faints at those last words. I roll my eyes. I need a real challenge. I spot ChiChi and 18 they're looking at me as if I was a ghost or something. I see Goku and his eyes tell me he knows something. Meanwhile, Krillen is still gaping.

The guard that had told me to battle her came toward me and mumbled, "Follow me to go to the qualifying quarters. "What's wrong?" I ask innocently. I notice he gulps and says, "No one has ever beat her in a battle. Never. And you....you went past her level. Besides her brother, King Vegeta, no one has ever beat her."

What was the big deal? She was just a vampire....oh yeah a vampire. I wanna get out. "Is there any way I can leave?" He looks at me strangely, "Probably not. No one is to leave until the King decides. I nod and walk into a room. It can see the ring pretty clearly. There are tons of couches, chairs, and spots to sit.

I notice some weights and other training gear. I walk in and plop down on the couch. I can hear crowds and others. My stomach grumbles. Damn it all! Why food now? I jump up and search for the cafteria. I leave the room and come into another room filled with food. My mouth waters.

I eat a lot of the food, but definetly not the blood. At least they have human or edible food. I sigh in contentness. Maybe I should let my hood down. But what if there were cameras? I can't take a risk. The only way someone will notice me as a human is if I get a big huge cut that bleeds. Or if someone recognizes me from above this underground hell.

I walk back into the room and take a book out from the pile. Let's see.... 'Fires' no.... 'Living in the dark' no...'Forests in the Night.' Sounds good. I take 'In the Forests of the Night.' After about a minute into the book, the door opens revealing five fighting women.

They grunt at me and make their way to the kitchen. I continue through the book. About 20 people are in here. I hear someone call my name. Oh shit! I have to fight now! I rush out the door and appear into the ring. "Alright, you hell dwellers, Alexis, has finally gone in the ring! Let the match begin!" A big sound is heard and I fight with the woman.

She has a black pointy tail with an arrow point at the end. She is wearing a spandex training outfit. Her hair is red and so is her eyes. She definetly wouldn't win a beauty contest. I better get this done soon. I'm too bored with all of this now. I just want to go back home.

She tries to hit me in the jaw, but I counter with a punch in the stomach. I watch her fall down...down and then a unconciounce body on the floor. I yawn bored-stiff and head back to the room. I hear silence then one clap and the whole stadum is filled with it. I go back inside and plop onto the couch seat.

"Wow you are quite the fighter." Someone said behind me. Oh great. It's 18 and ChiChi. "Thanks." "How do you know the Kamehameha wave?" ChiChi asks. "I don't know. I guess I just thought of it a minute ago." I lied. 18 frowns, "Liar. My old friend created that. Only five people know it. Bulma, Goku, Krillen, ChiChi, and I know it. Did you do magic or something?"

Are they this stupid? "Wouldn't you like to know?" I say. I'm not looking at them. I'm still reading the book. 18 snatches it from my hand. I grin. "Come on. You're not this mad are you?" ChiChi and 18 growl, "Tell us, bitch."

"What did you call me?" I stood up. 18 was a bit taller than me and ChiChi is a bit shorter. ChiChi says, "You know what we said." They didn't sound to thrilled. "Leave me alone." I wave my hand gesturing the motion. They glare at me. I can't help the grin that takes over my face. I just wanna confess it's me, but I can't blow my cover.

Then ChiChi's stomach growls. She grinned and blushed. 18 just stood there. "Sounds like someone is hungry, eh?" I taunt. 18 and ChiChi start giggling. I start to laugh to. Then the whole room is filled with our laughter. I stop abruptly and notice everyone's gone, "Hey, where'd everyone go?"

18 looked startled, "Uh....I think we're the only three left that are gonna fight." I had to fight against my friends? I look at my friends, and I really want to tell them it's me, but another half of me denies to do this. They head to the kitchen and I smell wonderful food. Too bad I already ate. After 10 minutes they're back in the room.

I flip on the TV. Argh! Wars....violence....teddy bears killed...blood....I turn off the TV in disgust. "There is nothing good to watch!" I exclaim. ChiChi looked at me strangely, "I thought dark creatures liked all blood and stuff. Shouldn't we?" Oh no! Think of something fast Bulma! "Well....I just wanted to watch something with...attitude. I mean...more messy stuff and all! Yeah!"

What a lame excuse. I just wanna hit myself. "Oh okay!" They say. I'm surpised they're not argueing. I hear an announcer speak, "Will ChiChi and 18 please come to the ring? Will ChiChi and 18 come to the ring?" "Good luck, guys." I said. They nod and walk off.

If I know them then I think 18 is going to win. She is a more experienced fighter. I know I can win against both of them. I smile. They are still the same ChiChi and 18.

ChiChi and 18 enter the ring, "Hey 18! Try not to be too hard on me!" ChiChi yells over to her friend, while grinning. "Don't worry Chi." 18 says. The battle begins when 18 throws a punch at Chi. She slams her fist into 18's stomach.

MEANWHILE.....I sat watching at the battle. Wow, they're pretty strong...but definetly not strong enough. "Bulma?" A voice says behind me. I flinch...how could someone know my name. I turn around and see Goku behind me. "Uhh....what a non-pleasant suprise Goku. But I don't know who you are talking about. My name is Alexis."

"Then how did you know my name?" Goku asks and scratches his head thoughtfully. I say, "Can't fool a vampire like you, anyway." "So you are Bulma?" He half asks and half states. I roll my eyes under the hood. "How'd you know, Goku?" I question. Goku says, "Well, I don't know. You just looked familiar and I thought it was you. After all, I did see a lock of blue hair when you were fighting. But just for a second."

"You're not gonna tell anyone, right?" I say worriedly. Goku grins, "Don't worry, Bulma. Secrets are safe with me. By the way I want to comment on how you fight. You're a really good fighter! How'd you become so strong? And how did you get to hell? And why are you here? And why are you participating in the fighting? And-"

"ONE QUESTION AT A TIME, GOKU!" I yell. Goku smiles awkwardly, "Sorry. Well...how did you become so strong?" I look at him oddly, "What do you mean? I've always been strong? I train a lot." Goku nods and continues, "How did you get down here?" I say, "I was in a cave and then I saw a witch and a vampire. I followed them to the edge of the cave and ended up here."

"Oh...so you got here by accident? If they found out you were human they might not like it too much." Goku stated. "If I did show them what I looked like...how could they tell I was human?" I ask. Goku repsonds, "Well, if someone recognizes you. That will be the only downfall. By the way...have you told Bulma or ChiChi?"

"No. I was too worried." I confess. Goku says, "Alright. But watch you're back and try to keep your hood on, Bulma." I say, "Of course." Goku grins and says, "Well, I gotta go. Can't stay here too long."

"Wait!" I stop him. "Huh?" He says. "Will there be a male tournament?" I ask. Goku responds, "After the female one. But that will take place tomorrow." "Will the King participate?" I ask. "If he wants to." Goku responds. "Ok, bye Goku." "Bye, Bulma."

After Goku is gone I start to think. What if I win and he demands me to show my face. What if someone recognizes me? Oh well. I'll suffer consequences.

Jusr then the door burst open showing 18. "Hey I beat Chi! We're gonna battle in 10 minutes." "Good job!" I congratulate her. She smiles and goes to the kitchen. I sit on a different chair and browse through the magazines. Boring! I put them back and pace. At least I was getting a fighting experience! At least if I die then I probably won't go to hell. Wait...I'm already in a hell. Could this get more confusing?

I hear an Announcer, "WILL THE LAST TWO FIGHTERS COME INTO THE RING!" 18 appears beside me. We walk into the ring and hear shouts with whistles. I don't smile, frown, or if at all show any emotions. This'll be fun. I go to my side of the ring and maintain a fighting postion. I glance at 18. She looks dead nervous. Why?

"Let the battle commence!" An announcer yells. We both go in the air and prepare to have an air fight. I charge at her and hit her across the jaw. 18 tries to punch me in the stomach, but fails miserably. The battle ends up on the ground. Although, I barely even touch the rocky ground. 18 is powering up for an attack. It doesn't look familiar...

She shouts, "Biyo gun!" A green blast emits from her hands and comes to me. I smirk. I do a quick move. An image maintains my place while I move above 18. There are loud applauds before the smoke clears. They don't notice me. All the better in the fun! 18 grins for victory and heads for the smoke. I see her frown. The applaud dies down and they point to me above her. I prepare an attack, "DAGGER!" I yell.

A blue ki blast comes from my hands and heads toward her. She shrieks and ends up crashing far. I search for her worriedly, "18!?" I yell. I hear a groan and come to the sound. At least I didn't kill her. I see her with bruises and cuts alike. I pick her up softly and head out of the smoke.

The announcer states, "ALEXIS HAS WON!" I grin a little. The meds take 18 to the med room. Cheers and whistles can be heard. I spot the King. He is walking toward me with a grand trademark smirk. He comes in front of me and I bow with my hand over m heart. Everyone else follows suit. "Arise!" He says to me and everyone.

"You are the winner of the female tournament! Now...for a favor I want to ask you to take off your hood." King Vegeta says. I gulp. Crap! I can't or I'll get caught. I can't refuse the King. Maybe no one will recognize me! I raise my hand to take it off. I'm in deep shit! ~~

A/N: Well, I finally did some battle scenes. I hope they didn't suck too bad! Well, REVIEW! I might post a chapter a day or something because I haven't got time. I just had a band concert and I have tons of basketball practice. I wonder what'll happen to Bulma....hmm...;-)

Directot: That's a rap!

Bulma: Did you say rap?

Director: Yes...

Bulma: I love rap! Especially Eminem! HE is sooo hot!

*Eminem enters*

Bulma: OH MY GOSH!

ChiChi: OH MY GOSH!

18: OH MY GOSH!

Vegeta: *Frowns*

Goku: ' Chi is mine! '

Krillen: ' He better not take my babe! '
