A Magical Adventure
By Moonraker One
CHAPTER FIFTEEN - The Next Big Thing
As the good guys flew towards the stadium of the World Martial Arts Tournament, Akkuvedi sped up, forcing the other z-warriors to do the same. Akkuvedi knew that this world tournament was going to be a doozee. After all, it was quite often that there were world tournaments, but it wasn't often that she was going to be in one. Once they arrived on the island, they proceeded to the stadium, and were almost run over by a barrage of people who were crowding around a helicopter that was landing. It seemed that there was someone who was quite a celebrity. It was the one person who most of the Z-fighters thought was a complete dumbass: Hercule Satan. He was the dude who had claimed to be the one who killed Cell about seven years ago during the Cell Games.
It was about the weirdest thing most of the Z-fighters had ever seen, because the people just gobbled up his act of being all high and mighty. After all, Cell had eliminated him with only one backhand! How could Mr. Satan have possibly gone from being eliminated by a single hit to destroying Cell? And another thing: even if Hercule would've lopped off Cell's head with a karate chop, as he had claimed, Cell would easily have regenerated. Oh well, it didn't matter that much.
The only thing that mattered was that the Z-fighters got involved with the matches quickly and easily. Then, something else that was quite stupid was done: the officials set up some punching machine for people to register. For many of the humans, that might have been a good idea. But, considering that all of the Z-fighters could easily have broken the machine without much effort, it wasn't that great of a thing to have set up as a requirement. Still, most of the Z-fighters took to the machine with very little force. Goku tapped the machine only hard enough to get a two hundred. Piccolo only got a two hundred fifteen. Android 18 managed a meager two hundred three, and even Vegeta managed to restrain himself.
And then, there was Akkuvedi. She never liked the machine at all. In fact, she was waiting for her turn to step up to the plate so that she could knock the living hell out of the machine, and leave only a tiny bit of it. When she walked up to the machine, she turned to face the Z-fighters, and smiled. Videl knew right away what the hell was going to happen.
[Akku,] she said, mentally. [Why do you have to be an a**hole now?]
Akkuvedi slammed her elbow into the machine with all of her possible force; the machine exploded on contact, showering the people who signed up with pieces of electronic equipment, and plastic. Videl slapped her hand to her face in exasperation, as Akkuvedi walked away from the machine, whistling. Videl's frustration turned to small laughter as they walked towards the fighter's area. Videl was not going to be participating, considering that her power level was only thirty million in an environment of hundred million-plus powers, so she couldn't go to the ring.
The arrangement of the matches was quite unique. It seemed that the tournament was going to have quite the start off: Akkuvedi was up first against Goku. Goku was dressed in his usual orange and blue GI, Akkuvedi was decked out in a tanktop, and her white Majin pants. As the two made their way to the ring, Akkuvedi looked down at her opponent, and smiled.
"Whatever happens, Goku," she said. "I want to know that we both gave it our all, and held nothing back."
He nodded in agreement, and they finally got into the ring. The announcer pulled his microphone up to his mouth, and announced that the fight had begun.
Boy did it begin. Goku's strategy was to nail her with his maximum force before she could react to it. It even worked, for a while that is. There was one problem: Goku's pool of energy to draw from was not as deep as Akkuvedi's, and she was somewhat destined to win before the fight had begun. Their powers were equal when he was Super Saiyan three, so then it came down to who could outlast the other, and Akkuvedi had an unimaginable ability to take damage with little effect.
With Goku's energy rapidly reaching the "E" mark, he decided that if he went down, he went down with a fight. He nailed her in the face with a straight punch, causing her to take off involuntarily towards the horizon. Before she could right herself, he nailed her with an axe-handle, sending her into the ring for one last ka-whoom, leaving a big hole in the ring. He used every last bit of power to pull this off. When the dust cleared, she stood up, and he fell apart like a torn box and dropped to the ground. She had won the match without any resistance to his attacks at all, simply taking damage and waiting for him to weaken. For the next ten minutes for a break, she washed off and replaced her torn tank top. The next match was her again, except against Mr. Satan; wasn't this a unique paring for the match?
And of course, he was his usual bragging self before the match, but now that they both were in the ring, she decided that it was time to fight fire with marshmallows. Step one: snatching the mic from the announcer.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" She announced rather loudly. "I am Akkuvedi, and I guarantee that this pathetic excuse for a champion is going down in this round!"
The crowd, was skeptical. Hercule himself, was skeptical. Hercule did a fighting pose, then threw everything he had at her. The tension in the crowd was so thick while he was rapidly hitting her, that you could cut it with a knife. All the people were silent when he landed his last punch, the famous megaton punch. Afterward, he stood there a minute, laughing at her, telling her that it had to hurt a lot.
Akkuvedi began waving her thumb in front of his face. "Look at my thumb," she said.
As directed, his eyes began to follow her thumb, and the crowd's tension arose again. After five passes, she nailed him square in the face with an extremely light punch, sending him sailing rather painfully into the far back wall. She put her hands on her hips, cocked her head and smiled.
"Gee, you're dumb."
The silence of the crowd that ensued seemed to cover up two pairs of eyes following Akkuvedi's every move.
