CHAPTER 4: THE CHALLENGE BEGINS
They looked around. Hell wasn't exactly what they'd thought it would be. First of all, it was freezing!! It was dark and noisy. In the background, all they could hear was evil laughing en screaming. Goku looked at the crowd behind him. The Kai's had gathered several warriors from around the universe and they all looked pretty though. Then he saw a familiar somebody. "Hello Supreme Kai!" he said. Gohan looked over his shoulder and started smiling. "Supreme Kai, hi! I haven't seen you in a while!" The Supreme Kai smiled back and stepped forward, facing the crowd. "You all know why we were brought here. But I think you should now that from now on, we have no idea what lies ahead. Just be careful and do your best. I think we should wait for now, until somebody tells us what to do." Vegeta frowned. "Are we just supposed to wait here, until someone sneaks upon us from behind and stabs us in the back. That's just a ridiculous plan!" he growled. The Kai looked at Vegeta and sighed. "Hello yourself Vegeta. I know you are eager to fight." Vegeta just glared at him. "But," the Kai continued, "we will not be stabbed from behind. There are certain rules in this tournament, and they cannot be broken. Fights are only inside the ring. But then again, we don't know where that is.." he wandered off, mumbling to himself.
Pan and Bra had walked away from the group, they were talking about the upcoming fight. "I don't know Pan, I'm afraid we are just too weak. We just reached the Super Sayian level, the others are MUCH stronger!" Pan nodded, but didn't answer. She was looking at something ahead. Bra tried to follow her look, but she didn't see a thing. "What do you see Panny?" Goten asked as he walked up to the girls. He put his arms around the two girls and tried to see what Pan was looking at. "I don't know uncle. But it's a strange cloud of mist, and I can sense the evil coming from it. It's almost as if it were alive" Her eyes widened. "It's coming towards us!" She stepped back and dragged her uncle and best friend with her. She ran to the group and grabbed her grandfather. "What's wrong Pan?" he asked. Pan looked at him with fear in her eyes. "I think I just saw Venom.." "WHAT?!" Vegeta growled. Gohan put his hands on his daughters shoulders. "How do you know, we've never seen him." He said. Pan looked over her shoulder. "I don't know, I just.. felt it."
"She's right Gohan." The Supreme Kai walked to Pan. "You're daughter can sense true evil. You just saw the being that we call Venom, Pan." The others tried to look in the direction Pan had pointed. They saw a big cloud, this time. Kink Kai started to shake. "Oooh.. I can feel his power, this is truly an evil I've never whitnessed before." Tien and Yamcha looked at Kink Kai with surprise. "You've never sensed something like that? But if you never knew of it, where does it come from?" Tien asked. Chi Chi and Bulma grabbed each other. They were shaking. Videl moved closer to Gohan, who put his arms around her. Goten and Trunks looked at each other. "This is it man!" Trunks whispered.
"INDEED YOUNG PRINCE!" a dark voice sounded. The cloud had reached the group of warriors. They all started to mumble. "Silence!! I am not hear to chit chat with you! I have come to take a look at the pathetic warriors that are the last hope of the Gods.. I see that Yerko has joined us. I know someone who owes you a great dept of pain. Maybe you shall face him down here." A warrior with long blue hair growled. "And we have of course, the Prince of all Sayians. Mighty ruler of at least 1 true Sayian and a couple of half-breeds. That's just sad.." the voice started to laugh. For once, Vegeta didn't react. He knew it wasn't the time. Bulma had grabbed his arm, he could sense she was afraid. He moved closer to her, and she relaxed a bit. "And the one they call Kakarot. The legendary good guy. You shall amuse me well. But enough talking. I shall leave..for now. My slaves will tell you what you must do. Enjoy yourself until then." The cloud drifted away. "Why don't you just stay and tell us yourself what your plans are?" Pan said. They all stared at her. The cloud 'turned around' (as far as clouds can turn around..) and two eyes appeared in the middle of it. They looked directly at Pan.
Pan looked back, but those eyes.. they were black. No emotion, nothing but darkness. She quickly looked away. "Ah yes, you are the one they call Pan. I know of you. You will have to watch your words young lady.. there are things much worse than death, and you shall find them here." The cloud disappeared and another shadow appeared. A figure in the darkness. Yamcha knew immediately. "It's a woman!" he said. Indeed it was, a sensual woman stepped forward. She had green eyes, and a shining grey skin. Her black long hair was covering her breasts and she wore a dark dress. Her eyes looked at the crowd. "Welcome to the Tournament of Death, I am called Shirai. I will show you the way to the tournament. The rules will be explained once we arrive. Now.. sit back.. and enjoy the show." She said softly and raised her hands. "NOW!" she yelled and suddenly the warriors froze. They couldn't move. A dark force was holding them back, and before they knew it, they fell through the earth with enormous speed. Shirai smiled evilly. "Have fun" she whispered.
Finally they stopped. Bra got up and wanted to move forward. But she couldn't. She was stuck in some kind of tube. She looked nest to her to find Uubu stuck in another tube. To her left she saw Trunks, also imprisoned. She looked around and saw a huge amount of tubes, al containing a warrior. Beneath the tubes appeared a giant fighting stage. She noticed a tribune in front of her. Her mother, Chi Chi, Marron and many other non- fighters were sitting there. But they were chained and not able to move. Her mother looked scared. Next to the tribune she saw the Supreme Kai, King Kai, Dende and Mr Popo. They could not move either. "BRA!" Pan's voice yelled. Bra tried to find her, but she couldn't see her. "Up here, above you!" Bra looked up and saw even more tubes. "Pan, what's going on?!" Pan looked around and said. "Dunno! Your father is up here too, and the rest of our gang too. Is everybody down there all right? "I'm fine Pan-chan. Where's Goku? And my father, I can't see him too!" Trunks yelled. Pan looked down and yelled back. "Your father is right above you Trunks, and grandfather is to our left. I can barely see him though, there are just too many fighters! I can't believe this, are they all competing? This tournament will take forever!" "I don't think it will come to that Pan!" Uubu answered. Pan looked at him. "I think there will be some sort of qualification-round. To pick out the best warriors, at least, that's what I think." He yelled to her.
Pan looked at Vegeta. He nodded. "The reincarnation is right. There will be tests, you can be sure of that." Bra tried to look at her father, but the tube was above Trunks and she couldn't see her father. "Daddy? What kind of tests are you talking about?" she yelled.
"SILENCE!" a woman's voice sounded. They all turned to the fighting platform. Shirai stood there, with an angry look on her face. She looked at the tubes, and smiled. "Master will be pleased, there will be no beating for me tonight." Behind her, Muuri appeared. "Master wishes to see you, pleasure slave. I will announce the first round." Shirai looked angry at the three eyed green monster. "I am called Shirai, and no one calls me pleasure slave, except for the master. I will leave now" she said. She raised her hands, created some smoke around her and disappeared. "Bitch." Muuri mumbled.
"LISTEN UP EVERYBODY! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WALK FREELY IN THE LANDS OF HELL; SO YOU HAVE BEEN IMPRISONED IN THESE TUBES. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE, YOU WILL FAIL!" he paused. The warriors immediately stopped pushing and punching the tubes. He laughed. "NOW WE WILL BEGIN THE TOURNAMENT! THE FIRST ROUND WILL BE A ELIMINATION ROUND. MY MASTER KNOWS YOUR FEARS AND DESIRES. THIS ROUND WILL CONFRONTATE YOU WITH THEM! BE CAREFUL AND RESIST THEM! THE ONES WITH THE STRONGEST MINDS WILL CONTINUE TO THE NEXT ROUND!"
The warriors inside the tube became silent. Muuri smiled. "Yes, this is it. REALISE THAT YOUR MIND MUST BE CLEAR OF ALL THOUGHTS. MASTER VENOM WILL CHOOSE THE FIRST CONTESTANT MENTALLY, THE ONE WHO HAS THE MOST FEAR AND DOES NOT WISH TO BE CHOSEN FIRST, WILL PROBABLY BE CHOSEN! THIS IS THE TIME TO SHOW COURAGE."
Again, it was silent. He saw the warriors clearing their thoughts. He saw some of them focus on other things than fear and death. But he could smell the ones who were afraid. He could smell the ones the master would choose. His eye fell on a certain small guy with black hair and six dots on his forehead. Krillin gulped. A dark voice whispered.. "You know which one must go first, announce him.." Muuri nodded. "IT HAS BEEN DECIDED. THE TUBE OF KRILLIN SHALL DISAPPEAR; KRILLIN SHALL FACE HIS CHALLENGE FIRST!!" he yelled. Krillin looked up. #18 opened her eyes and looked at her husband. "No! Not him!" she whispered. He looked at her, and tried to smile. He then looked for his daughter and winked at her. She burst into tears. "Daddy!!" Krillin's tube disappeared, as Muuri said. He couldn't fly, so he fell down. Suddenly the tournament was gone. He stood in Hell, but was alone. There were no people, no buildings, no sounds. He looked around in panic. "#18? Marron? Anyone?!" he started to run around. Why was he so afraid?? "GOKUU!!! GOHAN?? PICCOLO!!! Vegeta?" he yelled. "Where are you guys, what is going on?!" Krillin felt the fear inside him taking over. It's obvious Venom had not chosen his deepest desires to use against him. But what was his greatest fear? What was going to happen? "Help me.. anyone.. I.. don't understand.." he whispered. Krillin stood alone… in hell.
Allrightie!! That's it for now, please review this chapter!! Krillin is up first. What's his challenge, will he pass?! What if he doesn't? What is going to happen next in the Tournament (don't ask me!! I haven't thought on it yet!!) … bye for now!!
OH YEAH: I still do NOT own Dragonball Z (why!! Why can't I own DBZ!?)
