mayonaka Hoshi – Thanks for the support and yes, it has been a while.

Feyla – I haven't stopped writing. Just how you can say it… took a break. Sigh… I hope that the next update won't be as long either.

Beta 4 Hire – Wassup Zeta. P

Ssj-chibigoten – See… I updated! Just to make you happy! D

The Dark One18 – Really? I didn't know that Kibito was actually orange. He kind of looked pink on my video so I assumed that he was pink. And that thing about it going from light hearted to angsty… that was my intention. I don't know why, I just decided to throw that it, I guess…

Luna' Meow – Wow, what took ya so long to find out that this was updated. This was displayed as updated because I uploaded something to the wrong story… so… what's your excuse? Haha… just kidding.

V von sayian – No! No more questions! Ah!!

Great Saiyanman – Um… I'm not going to tell you! You're pretty good at guessing, BUT how are you so sure that that is what is going to happen? Hmm?

Okay, the fight scene between Videl and Spopovitch is going to be a little different. I don't feel like watching my video to know how the fight goes so basically this is going to be from memory.


Previously:

Back in the ring, Videl tried multiple attacks, hitting Spopovitch with all her strength.

All which caused absolutely no damage to the grinning man.

He looked down at her again and said, "Time to stop fooling around and start getting… serious."


Chapter 12

The Horrors

Spopovitch grabbed Videl by the arm and threw her to the stone floor of the ring. She cried out in pain because of the force in which she was thrown down by. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists in hopes of decreasing the enormous pain in her back. As she slowly got back onto her feet, she shot the bulky man a deathly glare and charged at him. She jumped into the air and prepared a kick to his head but Spopovitch dodged the attack. Videl skid to a stop near the edge of the ring before running back and tried a tackle.

Her attack made contact, however, Spopovitch was less than pleased. He barely even moved an inch from her onslaught. He looked down at her with a frown. Spopovitch lifted a hand up in the air and brought it down on the back of Videl's head.

Videl's eyes widened from the pain and her grip loosened from the muscular man. She fell to her knees in pain gritted her teeth. She placed one hand on the back of her head while she looked up to glare at Spopovitch.

"Serves you right," she heard him utter.

Slowly, but surely, her eyes closed and her body slumped to the ground.

Gohan took a step forward. He gritted his teeth and gripped onto the wall tightly until it a huge chunk crumbled to powder. He could feel his power build up.

Goku noticed what was happening and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Stop it. You cannot interfere with their fight."

Gohan never heard his father's words as the scene replayed through his head. His energy rose even more until his eyes glowed a brighter hue of aqua and his hair grew about an inch longer.

"Gohan, stop it know!" yelled Goku. He powered up to Super Saiyan and held onto his son's shoulder to restrain the young demi-saiyan from flying straight into the battle.

The announcer shook his head and closed his mouth. He didn't notice that it was hanging ajar until he prepared to speak. "Ladies and gentlemen… it appears that Spopovitch has knocked Videl unconscious… The countdown shall begin now. O-"

"No!" yelled Spopovitch. He picked up Videl's unconscious form and slapped her across the face a few times until she came to. Her eyes were only half open, but she was awake. She gritted her teeth as she felt her body thrown across the ring once again. Videl tried to get up, but failed miserably since her limbs felt incredibly weak.

"It appears that Videl has regained consciousness, but cannot stand up," said the announcer.

Videl's breathing was heavy and sweat began to appear on her face. She remained lying in the ring, inert. She didn't have energy or will to move.

Spopovitch looked down at Videl in disgust and kicked her body until it rolled over. He picked her up by the head and began to punch her repeatedly in the stomach. Blood oozed out of her mouth each time his fist made contact. She tried to break free of his grasp, but found it useless. She was simply too weak. Finally, Spopovitch dumped her on the ring.

She lay there on the ring for a while before Spopovitch placed a foot on top of her head and began to apply pressure. She screamed in agony each time the muscular man raised his foot slightly and then dropping it back down.

"No! Videl!" screamed Gohan. He broke free from his father's grasp and prepared to charge right into the ring when a voice stopped him.

"What do you think you're doing? Stop playing around and just finish the fight!" the voice screamed.

Gohan looked around until he spotted a man floating right above the ring with his arms crossed. He too, had his head shaved like Spopovitch and wore the same eerie 'M' on his forehead.

Spopovitch seemed to want to throw a tantrum, but relented and pushed Videl out of the ring.

Gohan felt relieved and immediately rushed to Videl's side. He picked her up and checked her pulse. He sighed in relief.

"Ladies and Gentlemen… Spopovitch has won the battle," said the announcer. The crowd went silent, still in shock from the injuries Spopovitch had inflicted upon Videl.

Gohan shot Spopovitch a deadly glare. "You and me, the next match. I'll win."

Spopovitch scoffed at Gohan's words. "You wish."

Gohan shot Spopovitch another glare before running into the fighter's waiting room. The announcer didn't even have enough time to stop Gohan since the boy ran faster than any normal human could see. He ran past everyone in the room except Victoria. She stood in front of him.

"Get out of the way! I have to get her to the hospital ASAP!" he shouted.

Victoria's face remained neutral. She gazed down at Videl's bruised and battered body. "She's in horrible condition."

"I know that! That's why I'm trying to get her to the hospital! But apparently you decided to block my way!" he yelled. Gohan tried moving to the left and was blocked again by Victoria.

"Close your eyes," she ordered.

Gohan raised an eyebrow. "How's that supposed to help me get her to the hospital?"

Victoria glared at the boy. "Not you. I meant Videl."

Videl closed her eyes and waited for Victoria to do something.

Victoria placed both of her hands above Videl's body and immediately her hands began to glow. Slowly the cuts, scrapes, and bruises on Videl's body began to disappear.

"W-what did you do?"

"A simple healing technique I picked up a while ago," she answered simply.

Videl climbed out of Gohan's arms and stood next to him. "I… I feel as good as new…" she mused. She began clenching and unclenching her fists, moving her arms and jumping in the air.

Finally, Goku and the other had caught up to the trio. "W-what's going on? Dende's not around and I don't think you have any senzu beans… so how is that possible?"

Gohan remained staring at Victoria. "Somehow she managed to heal Videl like Dende could."

The others raised their eyebrows in confusion.

Gohan grabbed Victoria's arm and demanded, "Where did you learn that technique?"

Victoria yanked her arm free from Gohan's grasp and replied simply, "When I was traveling around in space. It's from one of the planets I visited. I think it was called Namek."

"What do you mean by 'was'?" asked Piccolo.

Victoria shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. I learned that technique when I was like five or six… I can't really remember." She smirked. "You and I both know that Namek no longer exists. That's why your kind had to find a new planet to settle on."

Piccolo growled in anger. This girl was mocking him!

Victoria smirked again. "Gohan, I think that you should go out since that announcer was calling you for the last two minutes."

Gohan shot Victoria another glare before running off toward the ring.


Yes, I know that this wasn't much, but this was all I could think of. I had a little writer's block so I couldn't really write anything… However, I hope to have the next chapter out pretty soon and don't give up reading this story! I will try to finish writing this to the end. Thanks to ShaggyDiz for his excellent beta reading once again. Again, I know this was short, but think of it as a little present from me. My birthday is today and I really wanted to at least get something out to make you fans happy. D (Yay! I'm finally 15!)
