Alien Competition-Part 3
"Man, Frieza's strong." Bardock and the rest of his team had headed back to their quarters.
"Duh," said Twora. "There's a good way to state the obvious."
"What are we going to do?"
"We don't have a choice. We have to fulfill his jobs."
"What about the tournaments?"
"When's the next one?" asked Twora.
"In 6 days," replied Bardock.
"Then let's train!"
6 days later...
"Time to go!" said Bardock.
"People of planet Vegeta," boomed a voice. Everyone turned around. Frieza was back. "The jobs have been posted. I suggest you get started right away. Goodbye!"
"Are we going to the tournament?" asked Bardock.
"Let's look at the jobs first," said Twora. They walked over to the crowded billboard. "There's one to do on Heasopisty!" Twora grabbed it, so no one else could do the job.
"What is it?"
"Hunt down a man named Ginyu and bring him to Frieza alive. His current location is planet Heasopisty. Retrieve him and-"
"Ah, I was wondering who'd pick that one." Zarbon was behind them. "Lord Frieza has ordered me to tell the person that picks that mission that Frieza will be there on Heasopisty so you don't have to bring Ginyu back to planet Vegeta."
"Yes, sir!" said Twora. Zarbon flew off.
"I like you, Saiyan," said Zarbon as he flew away. "Real respectful."
"Thanks, I guess."
"Twora, will we still have time for the tournament?" asked Bardock.
"I'm not sure. Let's just go to Heasopisty."
They landed. Celipa, the only female of Bardock crew, looked around in disgust. "We don't even know what Ginyu looks like!"
"Twora, doesn't it give a description."
Twora looked over the paper. "Yeah, he's purple and has horns."
"That's real helpful," said Celipa.
"Twora, how about you find Ginyu while we fight in the tournament," said Bardock.
"Fine," said Twora. Then they split up; Twora looking for Ginyu, and Bardock and Celipa leaving for the tournament.
1/2 an hour later...
"This is hopeless!" shouted Twora. "There are so many cities on this planet! Wait! What if he's-? Bardock!" Twora shot back in the direction he came from.
Meanwhile...
"There are only 8 people in this week's tournament!" exclaimed Bardock.
"Frieza probably conquered a bunch of planets. They're out doing his jobs, not having fun," said Celipa.
"Why didn't the rest of the team come?" asked Bardock.
"I think they did another mission," replied Celipa.
"Oh well," said Bardock. "What are the placements?"
As if answering Bardock's question, a voice boomed out: "The placements are as follows. The first match is Apple versus Celipa. The second match is Jabinski versus Hadopi. The third match is Bardock versus Zibbiocho. The fourth and final quarterfinals match is Ginyu versus Falicorn."
"Isn't Falicorn some kind of element?" asked Bardock.
"And you care, why?" said Celipa.
"I don't know."
"Time for my match," said Celipa. "Wish me luck."
"Bad luck!" called Bardock. "Wait a second, who was in the fourth match. Zibbiocho, another Saiyan, who was standing next to him, glanced over.
"Ginyu versus Falicorn," he replied.
"Ginyu?!" exclaimed Bardock. "That's who Twora was looking for!"
Celipa's fight had started. She kicked Apple and he fell out of the ring. (Remember, Apple was the weakling guarding Vegeta while he was being healed on Frieza's spaceship.)
"Celipa is the winner! Apple really needs to train!" shouted Galando.
Celipa walked back to Bardock. "I think Apple works for Frieza. As a scouter maker."
Bardock laughed, then he remembered. "Ginyu is in the 4th match! And,-"
"The next match is between Hadopi and Jabinski!"
"Jabinski's here!" shouted Bardock. "I hope I trained enough."
"STOP PANICKING!" shouted Celipa.
"Really!" Twora was behind them. "Just because Ginyu is here and so is Jabinski doesn't mean you're going to die. Killing is against the rules."
"When did you get here?" asked Bardock.
"About 5 minutes ago. I realized that if Frieza wanted someone alive, then that person was probably really strong. Then it clicked! If he was really strong, he'd be at the tournament."
Back in the ring, Hadopi was flying out of it. Hadopi stopped himself before he hit the ground, but Jabinski fired an energy blast, knocking him to the ground.
"Hadopi is out of the ring! Jabinski is the winner!"
"Celipa, guess who you get to fight next." said Bardock. "Jabinski! Haha!"
"Don't laugh. If he beats me and you do well enough, you'll be fighting him in the finals again."
"The next match is between Bardock and Zibbiocho."
"Good luck," said Twora.
"Yeah," said Celipa. "I've heard that Zibbiocho is really tough."
"We'll see about that," said Bardock.
