Chapter 12
Hitokiri Vs Z senchi
"Wow this will be the most exciting tournament ever!" said Bulma
"Oh yea this gonna be fun to watch them whack each other!" said Oolong
"I wonder who's going to be the champion this year" said Chichi
"Vegeta of course!" said Bulma proudly Chichi looked and said
"Not when my Gokou is participating, everybody knows that he's unbeatable!"
"We'll see about that!" said Bulma and the eyes of the two women threw lighting bolts
"Calm down ladies!" said Yamcha
"Shut up Yamcha! Why aren't you down there anyway?" said Bulma
"There is no way I am going to end up in the same ring with those guys!" replied the warrior
"That's what I thought you're nothing but a coward!!" said Chichi at the embarrass fighter.
At the lobby where the fighters were waiting before going to the arena
"Look at this crowd!" said Krillin
"Yeah I never seen so many people gathering up at the tournament before" said Gokou
"This year things are going to be different" said Piccolo
"You are right, we are the only challenge around here" said Gohan and the friends continued to chat, no paying attention to the tall fighter all in white and the little one standing next to him.
"Do you know which one is my father ojisan[1]?" asked the girl
"It's the one you won't have to fight with" replied Zane softly
"This one there, he doesn't look so tough" said Gomen
"Never judge someone by is appearance little one"
"Yes ojisan, so what are our chances to win that competition?"
"It's too early to tell"
"I bet that we can beat them all!"
"It's never good to be overconfident my dear" said Zane while looking at the Z warriors one after another, Vegeta who felt that he was being watched turned his heard and looked at the two strangers
'I will have to keep an eye on these two something tell me that they could be trouble' thought Vegeta
"So you feel it to, they are hiding their ki pretty well. Maybe they are our challengers" said Gokou
"I doubt it, but than again who knows what they can do" replied Vegeta
"We are going to find this out soon enough. You better get ready your number is up" said Gokou
"Ready for what?" said Vegeta looking at his opponent with disdain
"Ladies and gentlemen meet are two first contestants Vegeta who's new to this championship and Jewel who's well known for his brilliant fighting techniques!" declared the announcer
"You rule Jewel!!" said someone in the crowd and soon cheers and acclamations came out from the spectators for the blond-haired male as he salute them, Vegeta was standing in the middle of the stadium rolling his eyes thinking
'Why do always get the small fries?' arms crossed he didn't pay any attention to his opponent who was demonstrating his skills by executing various kata
"Well aren't you going to attack?" he asked to Vegeta who seemed to be asleep he opened an eye and smirk raised his hands for a burning attack and put fire on the man's clothes that run off the ring
"HELP ME I AM IN FIRE!!" he screamed dropping on the ground and rolled over to put out the flames
Uh…Well Jewel disqualified himself by leaving the ring which made Vegeta the winner of this fight!" said the announcer while calmly walked back to the lobby
"What on the world just happen there?" said a fan and his comrades just shrug
"Dad you didn't have to light him up!" said Trunks laughing
"Oh well, honey you are next" said Krillin
"Oh cool you are up against the world champion!!" said Goten
"Lucky me" said 18 unimpressed
"Go dad you can do it!" said Videl to Hercule
"Thanks honey!" he said and whispered "It's only a woman there is nothing to worry I'll just show her my Hercule Punch and she'll fall of admiration for me ha-ha-ha" then added aloud once he reached the arena
"As a gentleman it is against my code of honor to hit a lady but as a fighter I have to fight" and 18 sighed
"Go champ!!" shouted the crowd
"I think they mean go chump!" said Krillin grinning
"I only hope that she's not going to hurt him" said Gohan
"Don't worry she's not going to waste her energy on a weakling like him" said Piccolo
"Hey that weakling as you say is my dad and the world champion!!" said Videl angry
"Not for long" replied Trunks
On the ring Hercule was showing-off and began to threw punch and kicks at 18 who didn't budge a muscle
"Why me?" she said before slapping the overgrown baboon out of the ring into a brick wall then fell on the ground under the astonished spectators
"Amazing ladies and gentlemen our champion Hercule got dethrone of his title by one smack from 18!" said the announcer
"Unbelievable the great Hercule got beaten by a girl!" said man in the crowd and soon everyone started laughing pointing at the beaten fighter and began to threw cans and rotten tomatoes at him
"I am so embarrass" said Hercule while running away to his lodge followed by his daughter
"Dad wait up!" said the young woman
"Two losers down and some more to go!" said Trunks grinning
"Hey it's our turn" said Goten
"Yup and I am going to win that fight" said Trunks
"So am I!" said Goten
"Now let's welcome two of our three young competitors this year…" said the announcer
"We'll soon know who the strongest kid in this planet" said Trunks taking a fighting pose
"It's not you" replied Goten doing the same
"Whoo-hoo Go Trunks you can do it boy!" said Bulma
"Do your best down there sweetie!" said Chichi
"It was about time!" said Yamcha
"Let's see some action down there!" said Oolong
"Now I am going to see what murasakige can do" said Gomen
"Let's do it!" said the two boys together throwing themselves at each other as they began to fight and soon after started fighting in the ssj form
"Do you see that?" said a man
"Those two kids are amazing!" said a woman
"Look at them go!" said Krillin
"They are stronger than us at his age and think they have already reached the level of super saiya-jin at this young age! What do you think Vegeta?" said Gokou
"Humph!" came for all answer from the prince
"So this is the legendary transformation of the saiya-jin! It's weird that two kids made it" said Zane
"Not fair! Why can I turn ssj?" said Gomen angry
"I have no idea" replied her uncle
"It doesn't matter I'll still whoop the winner's ass of this little match!"
"Well this is a great opportunity to test your full strength"
"Oh yes I will" said the girl as her eyes lighting up.
After a wild match Trunks managed to trick and beat his friend by sending out of the ring
"I won!!" said Trunks happy
"This isn't fair!!" said Goten
"Well it's the game's rule my friend!" replied Trunks "Come one Goten this is just a game" said Trunks following his pissed off friend back to the lobby
"Now for our last youngster of this tournament is going head to head with Killa" said the announcer
"Man it is cruel to send that young child fights that grown man!" said a man
"Yea her parents should be ashamed of themselves" said a woman
On the arena Gomen was looking at her opponent while this one was complaining about how young the competitors came that soon he'll end up fighting a baby
"Stop your babbling and get ready to get crushed" said Gomen
"Okay kid don't go cry when get hurt!"
"You'll be the one crying moron!"
"I am going to teach you some manners!" he said as the girl dared him to attack the man run toward her hands behind her back she looked at him coming before removed herself in the way jumped and with a single kicked broke his back
"Oh my you broke his back!" said the announcer
"So he's lucky I didn't kill him" said the girl leaving the arena
"What a horrible child?!" said Chichi
"Yea why did she do that for?" said Bulma
"Hey you didn't have to hurt him you know" said Trunks to the girl
"You better worry about yourself for the semi final murasakige" said Gomen
"My name is Trunks maybe you are to dumb to remember" said the boy
"Trunks! What kind of name is that?" she said laughing
"She's ask for it!!" said Trunks who was going to jumped on her but Piccolo caught him in time and said
"Leave it for the ring!"
Gokou and Krillin made short work of their opponents in a match that didn't last more than 15 seconds. Next was the match between Piccolo and Zane the both walk silently to the ring
'Now we'll see what this guy is capable of" thought Piccolo
"This planet seems to be the refuge of endangered species, Saiya-jin, Namek and soon Chikiyu-jin[2]"
"What are you talking about?" asked Piccolo
"You'll know soon enough. Now let's see what you got" he said while Piccolo took a fighting stance but the man just stood there arms crossed
"Are you going to fight or stand here all day?!"
"Go ahead attack me" he said
"Gladly!" said Piccolo throwing a punch that met the air
"Where did he go?" said the Namek
"Looking for me" he said behind me
'He moved so fast that I couldn't see it!' thought Piccolo; every time he attacked him he was able to move away at the last second
"Wow that's what I call speed!" said Krillin
"But he can't keep running forever" said Gokou
"Stay still!" said Piccolo
"Ok" replied the man as Piccolo threw a punch that Zane blocked
"Now it's my turned to try and hit you" he said but Piccolo dodged the hit in time
"Missed!" said Piccolo
"Really" he replied and blood started dripping from Piccolo's neck
"I could have cut your head off and you wouldn't notice until it falls down" said the man showing a sword he made with his own energy than made it disappear and threw a multiple little dagger made with his energy that Piccolo try to avoid but without success
"This guy is in perfect control of his ki making it takes different form and shape!" said Gokou
"The worse is that he's using Piccolo has target practice!" said Krillin
"The blades aren't going to make a lot of damage but sure are hurting like hell" said Vegeta that was staring at Piccolo that looks like a green hedgehog
"You better give up now before I do real damage to your body" said Zane with his same calm voice
"Not yet" said Piccolo powering up which case the knives to fly away in all direction
"Why are you so obstinate you know you can't beat me" he said hovering from the ground
"You aren't that strong to make me back off" said Piccolo sending a 'triple bean canon' that the mask man cancelled
"I don't need to be strong for now, you are even a challenge I'll soon dispose of you" he said while ten wires came out of his fingers and lodged themselves on the Namek's chest and sent electric shock through them electrocuting him
"Who is that guy!" said Yamcha stunned
"This can't be good!" said Krillin
"He's using Piccolo's own ki against him by re-channel it!" said Gokou
"How by sucking it out of him?" asked Krillin
"No by making it his own while it's still in his owner's body!" explained Vegeta
"What! That's impossible! No one can do that!" said Gohan
"It seems that this guy can" said Trunks
"But it could kill him! We got to stop him!" said Gohan who run to the ring at the same moment Zane let go of his prey
"Piccolo-san are you ok?" asked Gohan to his unconscious friend but eyes and mouth wide open the Namek didn't reply as he was transported away in a stretcher
"You monster!!" said Gohan to Zane that land on his feet
"Don't worry he's only a little shock" he said walking away but stopped before Gokou and Vegeta for a brief second than go to his niece who was standing in the back
Mm-mm-mm a Namek well done coming up!" she said laughing
"Grrr…I can't wait to shut her up!" said Trunks
"Gohan you are up!" said Videl at the door
"Uh…um…how's your dad?" asked Gohan
"How would you feel if you got beat up at this tournament?"
"Well I don't know"
"You'll know soon enough!" said Videl attacking but Gohan continue to avoid and dodge them all
"Aw look at them it's just like you and Gokou years earlier, Chichi" said Bulma
"Yea I know, isn't it romantic!" said the brunette
"If you say so" said Oolong
"Why aren't you attacking?" asked Videl furious
"Well I leave that to you!" replied Gohan
"Just throw her out of the ring will ya! You're wasting important people's time you know!" said Gomen, but no one paid any attention to her
"I am sorry Videl" said Gohan powering up which threw her off balance and fell off the ring and she started crying
"Are you hurt?" asked Gohan worried
"Not worry but my pride is" she said between sob
"Will you like better if I let you win?" asked Gohan
"No, you won fair and square it is true you are stronger than I am"
"So it's ok than, you are alright now"
"Yea I guest I am" she said taking the hand offered
"I think I am going to be sick!" mocked Gomen at the couples the entered the lobby
"Zip it!' said Trunks
"Make me!!" replied Gomen
"Ladies and gentlemen the elimination round is over the fighters are pair up as the following for the semi final:
1-Vegeta Vs 18
2-Trunks Vs Gomen
3-Gokou Vs Krillin
4-Zen Vs Gohan
Get ready to witness the most amazing fight of your live as Vegeta and 18 go head to head in this first semi final match!" said the announcer. 18 walked toward the ring followed by Vegeta but Krillin run after the prince saying
"Uh Vegeta I know that you and 18 you have some unresolved issues I was wondering…"
"Don't worry she'll stay in once piece when I am done" said Vegeta smirking
At the ring
"I bet you've been waiting for this rematch for a long time" said 18
"Not at all" said Vegeta making his fingers crack
"I don't believe you"
"Actually I am here thank you" he said punching her in the face hard enough that she took two steps back
"You have a weird way to thanks people" she said
"What can I say? This is the way I am. You know what I just figured out"
"What?"
"That this bonehead creator made one big mistake while building you"
"Which is" she said and Vegeta smirked and said
"You can't get any stronger" he said attacking,
The fight between the two fighters was spectacular but any trained eyes could tell you that 18 had any chance on winning this one as Vegeta toyed with her
"Gokou…" said Krillin in despair
"Okay I am going to go after some senzu beans we'll need it
"You better give up before I really begin to enjoying this" said Vegeta
"Give me your best shot!" said the woman
"You ask for it!" he said firing a 'big bang attack' that sent her crashed into the platform, Krillin run toward the hole calling
"18 are you ok! Please just give up please!"
"No!" came the answer as the woman flew toward the saiya-jin and resume the fight
"Oh wow none of them is going to give up!" said Chichi
"18 better is she doesn't want to get hurt" said Yamcha
"Vegeta won't hurt her" said Bulma
"What match are you looking at?" asked Oolong as he watched Vegeta beating the tart out of the woman
"I have enough of this!" said Vegeta and bring his fist together on the woman and she crashed out from the ring, the spectator was speechless and it took the announcer some time before announcing the winner. Without a word Gomen and Trunks get on the ring and both took a fighting stance
"I am going to make you regret for being born" said Gomen
"I bet you are so ugly that you scare yourself silly at your reflection" said Trunks
"I am going to make you eat every single word!" said Gomen attacking her fist meet his chin bone and the young warrior fell on his back and took a few seconds before getting up
"I underestimated you, you are good but not good enough!" said Trunks attacking but the girl blocked his punch and threw a kick
"If you want to beat me you better get serious" she said
"You want serious you got it girl! Let's see how you fare against a super saiya-jin!" said Trunks powering up
"Now you are talking" she said doing the same
"Can you feel this I can't believe it that girl is a strong as Trunks!" said Krillin
"Maybe even stronger" said Gokou
"No way!" said Goten,
"That girl is an experience fighter who have been trained to kill Trunks has no chance to beat her" said Piccolo getting up
"What do you mean?" said Krillin but the answer didn't come from Piccolo
"Gomen is a hitokiri she doesn't fight to play but to kill" said Zane
"So you are a hitokiri" said Vegeta
"I was" replied Zane and turned his back to them
On the ring Gomen and Trunks were still fighting giving everything they got the power unleashed was so strong that the stadium was shacking
'She's strong, I bet she's not from around here" thought Trunks "Who are you?" he asked aloud
"You'll have to wait like everybody else!" she said and added I have enough of playing with you time to end this and she and fired a ki blast and Trunks did the same and the two collide in a wonderful deadly energy ball and each side try to push it toward his opponent
"This is to dangerous they have to stop!" said Krillin
"They are in total control you don't have to worry" said Gokou
"Easy for you to say! Can you see people could get hurt!" said Krillin
"I have to say I am impress no one fights me for that long but you are not the one I am after so say goodbye murasakige!" said Gomen and before Trunks could replied she put more energy into the blast and started pushing the boy out of the ring
"No way I have to keep my ground" said Trunks while struggling to gain control and he stopped sliding when he made it at the edge of the ring Gomen smirked under her mask suddenly the round shaped energy ball took the form of a gigantic cobra and charged at Trunks surprised by the turned of event the boy dodged it but only to fall on the ground and out of the ring o his posterior
"Hahahahah you should see the look on your face, thanks for the snack" said the girl as the cobra wrap around her body before being absorbed into her being everybody couldn't believe their eyes and Trunks didn't know what to think
'She had mastered that ki control technique pretty well even better than I' thought Zane while watching the girl mocking the boy
"I can't believe I lost! You cheated!" said Trunks
"Look who's talking, and don't worry if you want a rematch I am always available but the outcome will remain the same" she said while helping him getting on his feet
"Don't touch me!" he said pushing her away
"Don't be mad Trunks I don't want us to be enemy, let's make peace" she said giving him her hand but Trunks ignored it and walked away
"Well this fight is over now it's our turn!" said Gokou to Krillin
"I don't feel fine Gokou I think I forfeit the match" said Krillin
"Oh why?" said Gokou
"Come on Gokou why should I go up there and get my ass kick by you again, I rather forfeit the match now" replied Krillin. Minutes later Zane and Gohan were called into the ring
"Don't think you are going to beat me as easily as Piccolo" said Gohan transforming into ssj2
"No you are much stronger than he is, maybe with you I'll actually break a sweat"
"You are going to break more than that!"
"You have no idea with whom you dealing with"
"Maybe where you crawled from you pretty though but here you are nothing!"
"One way to find that out" said Zane and the two fighters threw themselves at each other they each hit the other in a monumental punch that sent each fighter crashing on the other side of the ring, and then they each stood up in their feet and started gauging each other power and Gohan to say
"Prepare yourself for defeat!"
