Chapter 5: Pikon's Challenge
The day had finally come and Raditz felt his stomach knotting up. He didn't want to go through with the pain anymore. He was tired of being pummeled mercilessly by the vile creatures that lived with him in HELL and he was tired of Pikon's relentless attacks when they fought. It just wasn't fair . . . even though he didn't wish it, Raditz would be lucky if Pikon focused on Nappa today because he was the stronger of the two. The huge saiyan was actually able to land a blow on the green fighter's face last time they fought. Right after that attack, Pikon took the fight seriously and drove Nappa into the solid ground. It took Mez and Goz two days to pry him out of that hole. The head demons had never worked so hard in their entire existence!
As always, both of them were overseeing the fight and setting it up before Pikon arrived, "Okay Raditz and Nappa. You guys can come out now," Mez told the saiyans as he adjusted the glasses on his red nose. He acted like he was writing something down on a clipboard but the prisoners knew that Mez and Goz frequently gambled on these competitions to see who would be doing the paper work that day.
A figure appeared in the clouds above and made its way down slowly as though it were floating. As it approached the sparring ring, it became more obvious that it was Pikon. He wore his usual weighted clothing. His white turban weighed and amazing 800 pounds and his wardrobe consisting of a white cape, blue long sleeve shirt, and white pants added another two tons. He was in constant training under the Grand Kai whenever he had time. He would never live down the loss to Goku in the finals of the Otherworld Tournament. He knew that one day he would get a rematch and on that day he would be ready.
"Why Pikon, how nice to see you again," Mez flashed him a cheesy smile, "Today's challengers have been awaiting your presence." Mez signaled Goz with a wave of his hand to open the doors that separated Raditz and Nappa from the outside. The two had been placed in a different cell the previous night to assure that they would be in top fighting condition for the fight.
Goz pulled down on a silver lever and the metal bars retracted into the mountain walls of the prison, "Okay you two, don't try any funny stuff," he snorted, "Don't keep Pikon waiting now, hurry it up!"
Raditz sneered and spit at the feet of the big blue dolt as he made his way out of the cell. Nappa followed close behind, cracking his neck and knuckles in preparation of his beat down. Goz was quick to shut the gate and led them down a dirt path on the mountain. When they reached the end of the path he moved off to the side and walked towards Mez. They instantly began throwing out numbers guessing when each of the prisoners would be down for the count. The saiyans shrugged it off and met Pikon head on.
"Raditz, Nappa . . . " Pikon acknowledged the warriors with a nod of his head and threw off his weighted turban and cape to show that he was ready. With a smile he dashed in for his first attack.
"Let's wipe that smirk off his face Nappa," Raditz yelled to his friend.
"Yea-" Nappa agreed, but he was elbowed in the back of the neck before he could finish. He lurched forward in pain, wincing as he clutched the back of his head, "You bastard! I'll get you for that!"
Raditz and Nappa powered up to their highest levels and jumped in opposite directions to take on Pikon who had appeared above their heads. They made an inward turn in unison and flew at the green warrior at top speed. With all their might they swung at Pikon but ended up only hitting air.
"How's he that fast! Damn you Pikon!!" Raditz's anger gave him a sudden burst of power and he chased down Pikon. They disappeared randomly in the sky, Raditz taking swing after swing but each time missing. Nappa could only watch and wait his turn.
"Anger will only cloud your vision," Pikon spoke after Raditz missed him again. He easily appeared above the saiyan and dropped an elbow into the middle of his back. Raditz dropped from the sky and hit the dirt hard, bouncing twice before laying still. Pikon looked down at him with a satisfied grin.
"Breakstorm!!" A shockwave of yellow lightning zigzagged across the sky and struck Pikon in the back. The force pushed him forward but he incurred little damage, "Ha, I got him!" Nappa screamed excitedly. Pikon barreled down on him in annoyance and began to pummel Nappa over and over again in the stomach. The massive saiyan's face became alight with pain after every hit. His body couldn't take the punishment he was getting and Saliva spewed from his mouth during each body blow.
Raditz was recovering at a snail's pace but he was able to lift his head and see Nappa getting the crap beat out of him, 'Pikon is just toying with us. He wants to see us suffer . . .' Raditz watched as Pikon's fist connected hundreds of times on Nappa's face. He watched as his enemy kicked his friend in the gut and sent him flying into the air, only to beat Nappa's ascension and crush him with a hammer blow, "No, I'm not going to deal with this anymore," Raditz pushed himself off the ground as best he could, both arms shaking under his weight, "I'm not going to let Frieza, Cell, and Pikon use us as punching bags anymore. Vegeta used to always say that the Saiyan race was a proud one, deserving more than being used as slaves. I won't stand for this type of life anymore!" Raditz staggered to his feet just Nappa stopped moving on the ground. His body was bruised badly and small cuts littered his body.
"You won't huh?" Pikon chuckled, moving in slowly for the final blow on his opponent. He cracked the knuckles on both of his hands and was amused by the Saiyan's defiance. He could barely stand up, let alone fight. He would take pity on him and make it quick. His fist soared through the air in HELL, invisible to the naked eye. To his surprise, Raditz caught it before it hit, "Huh? How?"
"I SAID NO MOOOORE!!!" The ground around Raditz split in every direction and Pikon lost his balance, falling to the ground. The saiyan screamed at the top of his lungs, alerting the sleeping prisoners in the jail that something big was happening.
Pressing his face into the bars, Frieza was the first to witness what was going on, "No! I don't believe it! Raditz is . . . he's become . . ."
"A Super Saiyan?" Pikon whispered to himself. Raditz's transformation continued while Pikon sat in wonder. His long black hair began to stand on end, flashing gold every few seconds or so. Chunks of rock dislodged themselves from the ground and shot into the sky as Raditz's power kept on building.
"Aaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!" In a final surge of power his hair turned gold and the muscles in his body doubled in size. Raditz gazed down at himself, watching small bolts of electricity that jumped and encircled his body. When he looked up at Pikon, he resembled nothing that anybody had ever seen. The pupils in his eyes had vanished. All that remained was the whites of his eyes which now glowed red, "Now Pikon," his voice was deeper and boomed with authority, "now you will give me sport!"
Raditz unexpectedly uppercut Pikon and sent him flying into the air. Before strongest being in Otherworld could react, the saiyan had grabbed onto his throat and drove him into the ground. Pikon was too dazed to notice that Raditz was hovering above him, collecting energy. As the dust cleared, he was struck by dozens of fiery missiles that weakened him greatly.
Mez and Goz looked on in awe, their jaws wide open in amazement as they watched Raditz devastate Pikon with his new powers.
"What are you two looking at?" Nappa snarled as he wiped trickling blood away from his mouth. The two managers of HELL turned around and were blasted by double beams fired from Nappa. The attack tore through their abdomens and carried them into their own office building which exploded in a fiery blaze moments after.
Raditz was continuing his onslaught but Pikon had begun to get the upper hand again. He was still much stronger than Raditz, but the radical change in power had temporarily stunned him. The saiyan threw a knee in Pikon's direction but it was easily blocked. An enraged tournament runner-up grabbed Raditz's leg and tossed him through a cliff side, giving him enough time to surmise the situation. Pikon surveyed the surroundings and became aware that HELL's main office had been destroyed, "No! Mez, Goz!" He quickly jerked his head at the mountainside and watched Nappa throw the master switch to the jail. Pikon watched in horror as hundreds of the universe's most evil beings flocked to the sky. Cell seemed to be leading them and pointed out Pikon down on the ground.
The swarm instantly changed direction and headed Pikon's way. Things looked bad, really bad.
