CHAPTER 3 : 2nd round starts!! Who will fight who??
In the next matches, Goku beat Goten by ring-out because Goten lost his footing and tripped over a rock, falling on his butt out side the ring. (Everyone one sweat dropped and fell over) There was a big discussion on whether to count it or not but the referees and judges (Bulma, Chichi, Videl) decided rules were rules.
When Krillin fought Pan, she just nearly was able to beat him. And when Vegeta fought Gohan, to everyone's surprise, he knocked Gohan out quite easily. So, in the next round of matches, the line up was: Piccolo VS. Trunks Pan VS. Vegeta and (Pan or Vegeta) VS. Goku.
"Well Trunks-kun," said Goten,"looks like you and Piccolo-sama are up first."
"Yeah," he said,"Guess I gotta go."
"Good luck Niisan!" said Bra, hugging Trunks again.
"You can win!"said Marron. He nodded and went down to the ring.
"And first up, in the 2nd round are Trunks and Piccolo," said Videl," As Trunks-kun can't go Super Saiyan and Piccolo-sama is a powerful opponent, this match could go either way!"
Trunks stretched quickly and got into fighting position. Piccolo also took a ready stance. Adrenaline began to course thought Trunks. This match wouldn't be as easy as the last one.
"And FIGHT!!" Videl called.
Trunks immediately charged at Piccolo. Piccolo stood there, waiting for him. Piccolo gathered some energy and formed a ki blast to blow Trunks back. However, he'd anticipated Piccolo's strategy and dodged it by flying under it and coming up with a punch to his gut.
Piccolo recovered quickly and they began going back and forth with punches and kicks.
Piccolo charged a blast that knocked Trunks back a few feet. Trunks then handspring-ed forward, locking his legs on Piccolo's head. He went into a handstand and flipped Piccolo to the ground, using his momentum to help him. He landed on Piccolo and used his chest as a springboard to launch himself into the air. Then he charged up his ki to fire a blast at Piccolo. He released it but Piccolo managed to flip out of the way in time. They both landed and faced each other, in fighting positions.
"Wow! Check out these two guys go at it!" Videl yelled from her sideline position. Trunks smirked,
"I see you were holding a lot back in the last round."
"Yes, well so were you. However I guessed you would. Yamcha's not exactly a challenge, now is he?"
"Nope, not hardly." Piccolo also smirked,
"Yes, I see. You were saving you energy to fight me. You thought I'd be much more of a challenge than him. I'm honored."
"And you also did the same with Juu-san. Only she was a lot closer to your level than Yamcha was to mine."
"Yeah that was a disadvantage," he said,"Lucky for me, you slipped up and injured yourself at the end of your last match. That should make it easier for me to beat you."
Trunks scowled, "Let's find out." With that he charged at Piccolo again, but this time disappeared before he got there.
Piccolo concentrated on finding his ki and located it above him. He charged a large blast and sent Trunks flying in the air as soon as he appeared.
Trunks tried to right-en himself but couldn't before Piccolo sent him hurdling back to the ground with an elbow painfully to the gut.
Trunks tried to stop but instead landed on the same arm he'd landed on before, sending a wave of pain through his shoulder. He gritted his teeth on impact. And rolled over to his back.
"Ohh that's not good," Videl said," It looks like Piccolo-sama's done some real damage to Trunks-kun's already injured arm.
Trunks pulled himself up as blood began to seep from his arm down to his elbow.
Again, he shot at Piccolo and they began sparring aggressively. Finally, Trunks found an opening in Piccolo's attacks and landed at least five good hits. Then he quickly gathered his ki.
"Big Bang Attack!" he yelled as he sent the Nameck flying to the other side of the ring.
He went after him, hoping to get him out of the ring. Piccolo, recovered faster than he thought he would and through the smoke of Trunks' attack, sent a Special Beam Cannon directly at Trunks. He didn't see the on coming attack and it hit him hard. It almost sent him out of the ring but he managed to stop himself right on the edge. Piccolo came to knock him over but Trunks jumped over him and turned to kick him over the edge. Piccolo, however, grabbed his leg and tried to fling him out. Trunks stopped and grabbed Piccolo's arm, trying to pull him with him. They both flew over the boundaries but didn't touch the floor. Instead they both shot up, Piccolo behind Trunks.
Piccolo charged some ki and shot it at Trunks. It hit him head on and Piccolo tried to grab at his ankle to throw him back to earth. Instead, his hand went right though the young Saiyan. Too late, Piccolo realized it was an after-image. The real Trunks grabbed Piccolo and sent him crashing into the ground with a ki blast following him to make sure he hit.
Piccolo hit the ground with a cloud of smoke. Trunks landed, apprehensively waiting to see if it was a ring out. Breathing heavily ,energy exhausted from the last onslaught of having to move faster than he had to in a long time, he tried to look though the smoke.
When it cleared, sure enough, Piccolo had hit the outside of the ring.
" And Trunks-kun is the winner!! He will advance to the final round!" Those were the last words he heard as he felt everything go black.
A/N : Cliffhanger? Nah, I don't think so. Okay, I got lazy on the matches between other people. *gomen* But at least we can get to the good stuff sooner, right? *looks around as Gotenluva is surely ploting of a way to get even for having Goten suffer such a humiliating defeat* Oh, well. Please r&r.
