Thanks for the reviews ^ ^

Chapter 11: the fight

The junior division moved on slowly with Trunks and Goten progressing through it easily. The only fight in it the Z Shensi were looking forward to was the one both Trunks and Goten fought in. Of course Trunks now wanted to fight the mysterious fighter 'M'. 'M' had been progressing through it easily as well.

He had just won another fight and Trunks was now watching him leave the stage as the announcer tapped his mic.

"Okay ladies and gentlemen! Next up is the start of the semi finals and the fight between Trunks and Baiko!"

Trunks gave M one last glance before entering the ring with his opponent. Baiko was a tubby kid that could have been a sumo. The kid did the classic sumo stance. Trunks just stared blankly at him.

"Ready? Begin!"

Baiko charged towards Trunks, roaring a war cry. At the last moment Trunk jumped over him and Baiko kept running, unable to stop. The poor kid tried to stop but ended up tripping and rolling out the ring.

"That makes Trunks the winner! Next up, Goten and fighter M!" the announcer yelled.

Trunks walked out the ring, passing in between M and Goten. Trunks stared at the red eyes of M's mask as he looked back. He could have sworn M smirked at him.

Goten walked into the ring and faced his opponent. He bowed to him and looked up. M was tapping his foot impatiently as he moved his head slightly to get a good look at Trunks. Goten frowned.

"Hey! Pay attention! It's me you're fighting!" he said frowning. M looked back at him and sighed, folding his arms across his chest. Finally he signalled for Goten to start. Goten frowned and charged at him, moving his fist forward but only hit air. Goten blinked. He hadn't seen M move. He looked around and noticed M on the other end of the ring. He frowned and charged at M but again his attacks met air.

Goten growled.

"What the heck is going on here?"

Up in the stands, Goku frowned.

"There's definitely something odd going on here. I'm just not sure what." He said.

"Tell me about it! Is it just me or is that M guy not giving off a ki signature?" Krillen asked.

"You're not the only one. I can't sense anything from him. What do you think he is, another android?" Piccolo asked. Everybody turned to look at 18.

"Don't look at me. As far as I know Gero didn't make any more androids." She said in answer to the unasked question.

"Don't read into her. She'll show her identity when she's ready." Vegeta said, smirking. All eyes were now on him.

"Do you know who it is Vegeta?" asked Goku. Vegeta just smirked more in reply. He was the only one that had noticed M's slight pink glow.

Back in the ring, Goten was on the attack. He was moving round the ring full speed, trying to hit his opponent. M gave out some muffled laughter before materialising at his side doing a drop kick. M hit Goten hard and he only just managed to stop himself from getting a 'ring out'.  The demi saiyan growled to himself before watching M motion to try again.

"Don't you talk?" he asked frustrated. He heard more muffled laughter. He growled and charged at M, catching him off guard with a punch to her gut. Goten heard a muffled growl before he felt a blow to his. Goten knelt over and was then kicked forward. He shot his hands out and flipped over to look at his opponent before smirking. He disappeared. M scanned the area with her eyes, occasionally growling because of the awkwardness of his mask. He sensed some movement behind him and looked round just in time to see Goten grab him from behind.

"Got ya now!" Goten cried with triumph before squeezing. Only there was one problem; he couldn't. He tried to squeeze but there was some kind of force pushing against him, keeping him from doing it. Goten blinked as he noticed the pinkish glow around M get wider, pushing Goten's arms apart and him away from M.

"Wha…what's going on?" Goten asked as the pink dome shield slowly pushed him further and further back. Eventually there was no more room for him in the ring but the dome kept growing. It had exceeded the limits of the ring and Goten now felt himself getting nearer to the stands as it pushed him back. Damn it…I gotta do something! Before I lose! He cried in his head. He quickly powered up, his aura turning golden. He screamed as his hair stood on end, going gold as well, and he began to push back on the dome. It stopped growing and Goten managed to push the barrier back a few feet. He smirked to himself as he looked through the translucent barrier to see M staring back. A violent aura surrounded him and the dome started pushing Goten back again. Goten's eyes went wide and he started powering up as much as he could. The dome moved back slightly in what seemed like a form of tug of war. It looked like Goten was winning until M's aura grew twice the size. M let out a slightly muffled, feminine scream and the dome swelled twice the size, shoving Goten into the stands and the announcer into the screen in front of the fighter's waiting room.

Goten blinked several times before he realised he was now sitting in the stands between two very awestruck people.

"Aw man!" he cried as he kicked the ground and powered down to normal. Back in the ring M let out a long sigh of relief before powering all the way down and letting the dome shield down.

The announcer peered out of the archway he was now in and watched timidly as Goten returned from the stands. The announcer wiped his brow before walking out again.

"Wow! What an amazing fight these two chibis put up! Lets give a hand to Goten and fighter M!" he yelled as the audience got back their wits and started cheering like mad.

"Thank you! Lets hope the match between fighter M and Trunks is just as amazing!" the announcer yelled.

Trunks looked over at M. I can hardly wait. He thought as he smirked at his next opponent.
