Hey everybody. Since it's been a while I made it extra long. You can all thank me in the numerous reviews that I will receive. HA! Please be kind and review!
Tournament Begins
Gohan waited for the pain, but it never came. The kiss continued for several long seconds until Gohan broke away. Gohan looked down at Videl and smiled. Not smirked, but smiled. Videl was blushing furiously. Gohan leaned over and whispered," Sorry about that. I had to prove I'm not gay."
Videl nodded and smiled," Any time."
Gohan distinctly heard Mirai Trunks laughter and without turning to face him, stuck out his hand with the middle finger extended, while spiking his ki. Trunks got the point and stopped laughing, but still had a huge grin on his face. Gohan smiled gently down at Videl. Her eyes sparkled," Oh, don't think your getting off that easy. I'm still gonna kick your ass when I fight you in the tournament."
Gohan's smirk instantly returned and he said," We'll see Videl, we'll see."
Videl opened her mouth to say something, but was cut off by an intercom blaring, will all fighters please make their way to the south side of the room. Videl looked confused," Umm, Gohan? Which way is south?" Gohan looked at her incredulously and pointed. Videl huffed indignantly," Well, how was I supposed to know. We're inside, and besides, I don't live in the mountains like you do."
Gohan just motioned for her to follow and started toward the other side of the room. "Hey look Gohan; they've already got the matches decided. Let's go see who were fighting." Gohan sighed and allowed himself to be dragged off by Videl. Videl scanned the board and announced her findings." Well Gohan, I'm number eight and your number nine. So I guess you'll have to wait for the second round to get the shit beat out of ya."
Gohan really wasn't paying to much attention. He was scanning the board for Mirai Trunks name. He found it at the opposite end of the board. Well I guess I'll be seeing you in the championship Trunks. Now I'll get to see that 'surprise' of his. Vegeta undoubtedly told him I was slacking off, so I guess I'll have to show him a surprise of my own. (He was training in secret remember) "Will the first match combatants please step into the ring." Said a referee that was standing in the ring.
So the first three matches went by without too much excitement. They were pretty much just a couple of inexperienced guys trying to pound each other into submission. There was actually very few people that actually knew any martial arts. Finally, Videl's match was at hand. Suddenly Trunks appeared at Gohan's side. Gohan didn't acknowledge his presence, so Trunks whispered," Looks like your mate is up."
Gohan, who was by now getting very tired of Trunks antics, said," Trunks do me a favor."
"What's that Gohan?"
"Go to hell."
Trunks burst out laughing, but was silenced by the ringing of the bell that signaled the start of the fourth match.
Inside the ring, the boy that Videl was facing ran at her with his fist cocked back. Videl snorted. The guy obviously had no talent. Videl just stood there waiting for the punch to come, and when it did; she simply twisted at the waste, letting the punch pass by her leaving the guy wide open. She immediately snapped her knee up into the guys gut, and then delivered a graceful roundhouse to the boys face, sending him skidding across the ring, until he fell out of it.
"And Videl is the winner." The ref said, raising Videl's arm into the air. "Will the next two fighters please step into the ring?"
Videl walked over to the edge of the ring and hopped down, landing beside Gohan. "Good luck, Gohan, you're up."
Gohan glanced into the ring and nearly fell over when he saw Sharpener standing in the middle, flexing his muscles at him, clearly trying to intimidate him. Gohan easily jumped the 3 ft up into the ring. He didn't even bother to walk to the center of the ring. The bell rang.
Instead of immediately charging him, Sharpener began to talk," So how do want me to pound you. Should I immediately knock your scrawny ass out of the ring or should I slowly beat you into unconsciousness."
"Wow that's a big word Sharpener; maybe you should take a break so your brain doesn't over heat."
Sharpener let out a bellow and imitated the guy from Videl's match and charged him with his fist raised. Gohan, like Videl, waited, and, like Videl, moved aside, but unlike Videl, Gohan, almost casually, stuck his foot out, tripping Sharpener. Since Gohan did not move to the center of the ring, this left them rather close to the edge, and since Sharpener had built up quite a bit of momentum when he had his feet suddenly knocked from beneath him, he flew clear over Videl and Trunks heads before hitting the ground.
"And Gohan is the winner." Gohan didn't bother walking over to the ref, he simply jumped out of the ring, to stand with his two friends.
And the matches continued without any excitement, unless you counted one match where both boys pulled out baseball bats and began trying to beat each other with them. They were both disqualified, but not before one boy had a fractured leg and the other had a shattered arm.
After much boredom, the last match, which consisted of Trunks and one Sharpener's friends called Pen, as he always drew on himself with a pen, trying to give himself tattoos, arrived. The bell rang. Trunks, who was like Vegeta in one aspect, did not care if everyone saw his power. So the half saiyan disappeared as soon as the bell rang, and reappeared behind Pen. "Behind you." Pen whipped around and aimed a sloppy kick at Trunks. Trunks easily caught it and began to swing him around. After a few seconds, he released him, letting the boy fly through the air and leave a small crater in the hall. Trunks suddenly disappeared and reappeared next to Gohan, who didn't spare him a glance. Videl on the other hand stared at him in shock.
"GOHAN!"
"Yes, Videl?" Gohan said calmly.
"EXPLAIN!"
Gohan smirked," If you beat me in the next match then, I'll tell you anything you want to know.
"And if you beat me." Videl said through gritted teeth.
"I'll think of something."
Damnit! I hate that look of his. I feel like he can make me agree to anything. What happened to sweet, innocent Gohan? I'm not complaining, but it's curious. Maybe he's a schizophrenic or something. Since there was now an odd number of fighters due to the one match where both boys got disqualified, the first fighter got a buy to the 3rd round.
Gohan went off into his own little world as the two combatants in the ring began to go at it. How am I going to beat Videl? Losing is out of the question, but I don't want her to hate me. Gohan smirked; besides, it's hard to get a mate if she hates your guts.
Gohan was shaken out of his thoughts by the ref saying," Will Videl Satan and Son Gohan please step into the ring." Videl looked over at Gohan and after a moment, Gohan looked over at her. He nodded. They each leapt nimbly up into the ring, and walked to the center. The ref looked at each of them and said," Alright, I want a clean fight since I know you actually know some martial arts." He nodded to the person that was operating the bell. The bell rang and Videl slid back into a very closed stance.
Gohan just stood there. Videl was confused," Come on Gohan; don't make it easy for me."
His response shocked her," I don't really need to set myself, but if makes you happy." He dropped into his stance. Once again Videl was momentarily confused. Gohan's arms were pointed in odd angles and the whole stance seamed to leave him open to every direction. Then she saw it. By barely moving or rotating an arm one way or another, he could block anything that she threw at him. Videl shook her head, she wasn't going to let him sit back and wait for her, she was going to make him go on the offensive.
As though reading her mind Gohan nodded once, and suddenly seemed to disappear from sight. He reappeared directly in front of her. Her eyes widened and he took advantage of her surprise and punched her in the stomach as softly as he could. Nevertheless, it still lifted her a half a foot off the ground. Gohan did not wait for her to hit the ground and lashed out with his leg, knocking her legs out from under her so that she was parallel to the floor. Still trying to be soft and keep his power at a bare minimum, Gohan aimed a side kick at her gut. Gohan's eyes widened as Videl somehow managed to fall a little faster and slip under his kick. While Gohan still had one leg off the ground she kicked out with her leg trying to trip him up. It was like trying to kick a steel pole. Gohan's leg didn't budge.
Gohan let her slowly get up. He nodded to her," Good one Videl."
Videl regarded Gohan warily," How did you get so fast, Gohan. There is no way that anyone is that fast."
Gohan's eyes hardened," I was kidnapped at the age of 4 and left out in the wild for almost a year. You have to be faster than any animal out there, or you become dinner."
Videl's eyes widened," You were this fast when you were four."
Gohan smirked," You haven't seen speed yet Videl."
Videl scowled," We'll see." She suddenly charged and drove her fist into his stomach. Or rather through his stomach. The crowd gasped. Videl's jaw dropped. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry Gohan. Please keep breathing and… umm…Stay away from the light!" She heard laughter from behind her. And she turned toward the source. It was Mirai Trunks. "What the hell are you laughing for?! I just put a hole in Gohan you sick bastard!" Trunks continued to laugh his ass off, but managed to point behind her. She slowly turned. There was Gohan, standing there without a hole or anything. Her jaw dropped yet again.
"It's called the after image technique. You move so fast that you leave an image of yourself where you were standing. You didn't really think that you had killed me did you? Wouldn't you have blood on your hand if you did?"
Videl looked down at her hands and sure enough, there was no blood. She looked up at Gohan and said shakily," I don't understand."
Gohan nodded patiently," It's like this." Suddenly a second Gohan appeared and began to talk," This is an after image." He said, pointing at the first Gohan, which was slowly fading away.
Videl suddenly became a blur. The blur hit Gohan in the stomach and was hugging him tightly. "You jerk; you made me think I'd killed you." Gohan heard Trunks howl with laughter and once again flipped him off. Videl suddenly reached up, grabbed his shirt, and dragged him down to her level and was going to kiss him, but he quietly whispered," I'm enjoying the display of affection, but do you think we could do this later, when we don't have all of our classmates watching." Videl blushed every shade of red possible, and then some. She jumped away from Gohan so fast that she actually left an after image. She blinked. She had no clue what had come over her. Gohan saw the confusion and once again, made a vow to roast the current Kami the moment he saw him. He was actually saddened a bit. Does this mean all of Videl's actions hadn't really been her? Maybe I don't really have a chance with her at all. Gohan realized that it was his human side making another valiant bid for control. But his saiyan side had been dormant for seven years. It was not going to leave soon. It easily pushed the human side back. No! I'm a saiyan. I will not lose her.
Up on Kami's Lookout, Dende was getting angry. Damnit Gohan. Why did your stupid saiyan side have to pop up now? Nothing I do seems to bother you. Even magnifying that girl's affection for you until she couldn't control it didn't work. Of course, it wasn't hard. She barely had it under control anyway. And so, the doomed young Kami went back to forming some other plan.
Back at the tournament, Videl had stopped blushing and taken her stance, Trunks had stopped laughing, and Gohan was still just standing there. Videl was thinking furiously, not about Gohan, but at the battle at hand. He's so fast. He could leave after images all over the place. How can I beat him if I can't tell which one is him? I need to take him by surprise. Suddenly she launched herself at him. Once he entered her range she lifted herself off the ground and aimed a kick at his head. As expected, he ducked and, as expected, she flew right over him. The moment she hit the ground she pushed off it and launched herself back at Gohan. She flew straight through him. Not expected. "Gohan you had better stop doing that. You just wait till I get a hold of you."
Gohan looked at her innocently," Do what Videl? This?" And then there were about 10 Gohans standing around the ring. Then they faded. All of them.
Videl looked around frantically. Then Gohan was right in front of her pounding away at her stomach. Between grunts of pain she managed to look up at him, searching for an opening. All she managed to see was the look on his face. He kept wincing, like every time he hit her, it hurt him. Or maybe it was concentration, like he was trying to hold back enough as though not to hurt her. Maybe both. After nearly a minute he stopped and backed off. Videl was then struck with inspiration. She dropped to the ground, clutching her stomach. The old Gohan momentarily resurfaced and he ran over to her. Sensing an opening, she waited till he was right next to her, before putting all her strength behind one punch. It hit dead on, right in his face. Gohan didn't flinch. The new Gohan was back in an instant.
"Good one. You really had me going. You probably know now that there isn't much of a point in continuing." Videl shook her head and got back up." I didn't think you were going to give up. Now I'm going to be very cheap, so please don't be too mad. But hey, an eye for eye. You were cheap with that little stunt. Now it's my turn." Once again, the ring was filled with Gohans and Videl was left to ponder which one was him. No answer presented itself as they all faded away. All of a sudden, she was wrapped up in Gohan's arms, with her own arms pinned to her side. "Sorry Videl" was all he said as carried her over to the edge of the ring and dropped her out. There was complete silence. Then Videl began to clap. The entire room caught on quickly. Gohan raised a fist above his head before hopping out of the ring. He walked over to Videl and together they sat on a bench to watch the other matches.
I am such a nice guy. I should get an award. That was a very long chapter for me, was it not? It took a bit longer than it should have, but that might just be because I was feeling a bit dumber than normal. I really wasn't going to make it this long. It was going to be a very short chapter, but it was either this or go to my sisters play, so what do you think I chose. REVIW THIS CHAPTER BEFORE READING THE NEXT ONE! Here's the poll
Who is the strongest villain when compared to the Z Warriors strength (Or who out classed the Z Warriors the most)?
A) Cell
B) Radditz(spelling)
C) Frieza
D) Brolly
E) Buu
