**The Second Encounter; Bardock VS Nipper For the Title**
Bardock (with a new shirt) and Nipper marched onto the ring, steps equal in value. Bardock ignored the cheers of his "fans" and turned to face his opponent. When commanded to bow, neither did more then incline their heads slightly. It was impossible to say which set of eyes displayed more hatred toward the owner of the other's.
The ref shouted the start of the match. Like wild tigers, both Sayins circled each other, measuring themselves up before the fight. The tension mounted as they continued the ritualistic progression.
After a few times around, both stopped simultaneously. They dove at each other, ending up on the opposite side. Bardock turned back, unharmed. Nipper turned back, a small scratch forming on his nose.
"Its like a dance," muttered Zucina, heart racing in anticipation.
"Why are they taking so long," asked Fasha.
"They understand how important this match actually is," explained Tora seriously. "Not many know, but Nipper was offered a position as a commander in a private sector on Planet Kold 19."
"Nani!?"
"Yes, this is his last day. Bardock wasn't told, but he can sense it. Nipper is desperate to beat Bardock, and somehow, Bardock can sense it! He's feeding off of Nipper's urgency. It may even result in carelessness on Nipper's part."
Zucina kept her eyes on the combatants. "What are you, a bloody commentator? Just watch the fight and shut up!"
Bardock and Nipper had already begun a punching fury, going so fast the young students lost sight of them. Bardock dealt many hits, trying to gain the upper hand. But Nipper blocked each one, and delivered his own hit combination: uppercut, gut blow, jaw hit, groin, and back crunch.
Bardock fell toward the floor, but caught himself, he hand-sprung up and darted forward. Nipper landed and sprinted forward, too. They collided, but Bardock was able to dodge Nipper's fist and serve his own uppercut.
Nipper hurtled to the ceiling, but Bardock phased in front of him. Nipper recovered, and the two began a fury once again. This time, Bardock blocked the punches and kicks, trying to come up with a plan.
Nipper, frustrated by the length of time that had already passed, tried to start his combo again. Bardock expected this and leaned back, dodging the blow. He phased out, and back in, grabbing Nipper's free arm. He pulled it behind the older Sayin, palm up, and pulled back hard. Nipper cried out in pain, his arm nearly breaking in the submission hold. With the palm up, there was no way out.
=========================================================== [Commercial Break]
===========================================================
"Give up, Nipper," Bardock yelled. "I don't want ta kill ya!"
Nipper growled in pain and anger. "Fuck you!"
Bardock tightened his grip, forcing Nipper to grunt louder. "Wrong answer!" Nipper said nothing. "I oughta make you suffer for the terrible things you've done to people. But I ain't as ruthless as you. Disgrace yourself and live with shame; that'll be punishment enough! Now, GIVE UP!!"
Nipper moaned. "Okay, I'll give up," he whispered, "if you let me go."
Bardock lessened his grip, allowing Nipper to get free. Nipper turned around, grabbed Bardock by the tail, and swung him down hard on the ground.
"BAKA," screamed Nipper insanely. "Did you think I'd submit to the likes of you!?!" He swung Bardock in the air by the tail and beat him down again. The helpless boy, powers drained, coughed up blood.
As Nipper banged Bardock down on the floor over and over again, Zucina tightened her grip on the doorway so much, it cracked. "Argh! Bardock!!" She remembered his actions and offering to Nipper: I oughta make you suffer for the terrible things you've done to people. But I ain't as ruthless as you. Disgrace yourself and live with shame; that'll be punishment enough!" Why would he give Nipper the chance to recant?
"Dammit, Bardock," groaned Tora. "Why'd you have to trust Nipper?!"
"He was pretty pathetic," reasoned Fasha.
"Mercy is a sign of weakness," growled Zucina, teeth grit in anger.
"Agreed," both Sayins said.
Each groan of pain Bardock emitted, each blood-spouting cough, burned into Zucina's heart. At that moment, she wanted to save Bardock with all of her being. His pain felt like her pain. "Oh, Goddess! Guys, there has to be summut we can do to help him! I can't take this!"
"Here!" Fasha handed something to her. Zucina opened it: a Japanese style fan with a picture of the symbol meaning 'Bardock' on it. Zucina looked up curiously, an anime sweat-drop on her head, at her companions. Tora was sporting a "We're #1" foam finger, and Fasha waved a couple of pom-poms. Both were dancing and chanting, "BARDOCK, BARDOCK, HE'S OUR MAN!! IF HE CAN'T BEAT HIM, NO ONE CAN!!!"
Zucina face-vaulted.
Bardock screamed in pain. Nipper laughed, amused with his own method of torture. "You're nothing, Bardock. You never were. Just a stupid Sayin kid trying to play the hero. You'll never rise to greatness . . . Low Level Loser!"
[Theme song begins to play in the background]
Those words rang in Bardock's ears. He hadn't heard them in so long, but it brought back old memories, painful ones. His sister keeping up the rumor of his low power level, his mother beating him senseless when she came home drunk, sooo many times . . .
The old flame burned in him. All of those laughing faces; he wanted them to stop! He was NOT a low level loser! In a distant corner of his brain, he heard Tora, Fasha, and now Zucina cheering for him. He knew Cole believed in him enough to send him Zucina to protect and train with. THEY didn't think he was a loser! THEY had faith in him! And he wasn't about to let them down now!!
Using all of his tail muscles, Bardock coiled himself around, grabbed Nippers leg, and elbowed him in the back of the knee. Nipper, surprised, let go of Bardock's tail and fell face first to the ring.
Shaking from pain and exhaustion, Bardock stood up and laughed a little. "Heheh! Shame on ya! I ain't goin' down so easy!"

Hi guys! Its Tora!
Kuso! Bardock had better end this soon, or else he won't have the strength to win at all! But after being beaten down so badly, is it possible to make a comeback now? Nipper isn't finished yet, either!
