Quote of the Week: -from db graphic novel #3
Roshi: Well, they only just started...but I already feel both have quite some potential.
Kuririn: He said we have potential!
Goku: Heh heh heh! All right!
Roshi: As long as they continue their training obediently, they should be able to enter the tournament 8 months from now.
Guy-they-sold-milk-to: Ho! The Tenkaichi Budoukai eh?!
Kuririn: Th--the "Strongest Under the Heavens"...?!
Goku: Huh? What's that?
Kuririn: They gather martial arts masters from all over the world and decide who's the "Strongest Under the Heavens"!
It's an awesome tournament!!
Goku: Wow!! "Tenkaichi," huh?

Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: Hello and welcome to the chapter few of my fics have reached; Part 5!
Goku: HOORAY!
Vegeta: (looks up) So THAT'S how Kakarrotto learned about the Budoukai, huh?
Goku: (grins) Indeed it was!
Chuquita: I got a crate from Staples to put all my db/dbz subbed-books in so I can actually read them without toppling
a humongous pile off of my counter and onto my bed!
Vegeta: (taps crate) Looks sturdy.
Chuquita: I have two of them, I may need the 2nd one by the time viz is finished coming out with the books.
Vegeta: Ah...
Chuquita: Also, I go back to school tommorow!
Goku: (pouts) I will miss u, Chu-sama.
Vegeta: (smirks) May I have your spot while you're gone?
Chuquita: You want to sit next to Son-kun?
Goku: VEGGIE!
Chuquita: I can swap seats with you now.
Vegeta: (looks over at Goku)
Goku: :)
Vegeta: ...on second thought, the seat I currently have, its perfect. I'm fine where I am.
Chuquita: Oh-kay then. (to audiance) Even though I'll be at school, because of it I'll get my comic-drawing time back!
Meaning the comic I'm currently working on will be done sooner than if I were still on vacation!
Vegeta: Don't forget the job.
Chuquita: I'm not forgetting the job. I'm telling them only 12 hours next week. AND I have to get them to fix the spelling
of my name in their paycheck book. They stuck my middle initial at the end of my last name and dropped the last letter by
mistake.
Vegeta: But you still got your paycheck.
Chuquita: Yes I did.
Goku: (grins) We can buy lots of fun stuff with it!
Chuquita: (happily) Yes we can! Starting with a flip-phone!
Vegeta: Like mine? (holds little orange flip-phone up)
Chuquita: Something similar.....(curious) Why is your phone orange?
Vegeta: AH!? (freezes in place) ....I have, personal reasons for that.
Goku: (takes Veggie's phone) Haha! It matches my gi!
Vegeta: Of course it does I specifically asked--
Goku: ?
Vegeta: --that you, give me my phone back. (cheesy smile)
Chuquita: (sweatdrops)
Goku: (does so)
Chuquita: OH! GT has finally gotten to the Evil Shenlong eps! (grins) And you know what that means!
Goku: (excited) Red 'n furry ssj4 Veggies!
Chuquita: I can't wait! Veggie finally gets the screentime from which he's been hiding lately!
Vegeta: (proudly) I am quite photogenic, aren't I?
Chuquita: Also, I wanna see how Funi handles the "attractive" line!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) Oh joy...and here I thought I'd heard the last of that particular exert of dialogue.
Chuquita: (grins) Heehee, you think it was awkward in the sub, wait'll you see how awkward this moment is in my evil-shenlong
parody fic where adult Goku poses that same question!
Vegeta: (gulps)
Goku: I am luved :)
Chuquita: Also in the parody fic, I'm having Veggie travel with Goku and Pan to fight the evil Shenlongs!
Goku: (happily) Everything's better with Veggies!
Chuquita: Heh, Goku compaired Pan to Chi-Chi in yesterday's episode.
Vegeta: Kakarrotto did leave her alone with Onna for 5 years; 5 years for Onna to sculpt her chibi mind into a veritable
Chibi-Onna. (nods thoughtfully)
Goku: (gasps) I am SORRY Veggie! I did not know!
Chuquita: I still don't have an opinion on Pan...
Vegeta: You barely ever USE Pan.
Chuquita: That may be why. (perks up) Anyway, this is the chapter that'll wrap up "Budoukai"! FIVE battles in this chapter,
guys!
Goku: Haha, 5 battles for chapter 5!
Chuquita: Exactly!
Vegeta: Out of curiousity, why do Vejitto and Gogeta both lose to Kakarrotto? Why not me?
Chuquita: ...
Vegeta: (gasps) You think they would BEAT me if I fought against them, DON'T you?!
Chuquita: Well...
Goku: Ji-chan and Goggie DO have an understanding of Veggie's not-so-strong points in battle. AND they have my knowledge AND
Veggie's together.
Vegeta: Then how can YOU beat them?!
Goku: (grins) Silly Veggie! You said it yourself! It's cuz I'm "Number One"! (pulls gi top up to reveal a big #1 written on
the middle of his blue t-shirt)
Vegeta: ...(dryly) Of course.
Chuquita: And now for Part 5!

Summary: It's that time again. The 27th Tenkaichi Budoukai has arrived again, and this time a year earlier. Luckily for the contestants, Chi-Chi has verbally 'persuaded' Hercule to fake an illness so the rest of the Z senshi actually have a chance to win the title. But with Goku, Veggie, and the fusions entering, becoming this tournament's champion takes on a new level of difficulty. Are Mirai, Juuhachigou, Chi-Chi---costumed to hide her identity, and Kuririn up to the task? Who will be the winner? Find out!

" So, feelin any better? " Vegeta asked Gogeta as he, the fusions, and Goku sat on one of the couches in the
waiting room.
" A little. " Gogeta nodded, " I shouldn't have used the split technique though, if I hadn't then number 4 would've
never landed out of the ring. " he pouted.
" Don't worry about it. I'll defeat Kakarrotto in the final round to avenge the both of you. " Vegeta said proudly.
" Mommy you don't know that. I could beat Toussan. " Vejitto laughed.
" Hai, you could....but defeating Kakarrotto in battle is incredibly hard. It seems when placed in an arena his
I.Q is tripled in strength. " Vegeta glanced over at Goku.
" Heehee— I luv u too Veggie! " Goku chirped.
" Ah ha ha... " Vegeta laughed nervously, his cheeks flushing red.
" HA HA HA! HO HO HO HO HO! " Anonymous practiced punches and kicks a few feet away from the group.
" You think she can beat Kuririn? " Gogeta thought outloud.
" Doubtful, though it will be interesting if it turns out to be who I predict it is. " Vegeta snickered.
" But what if she does beat Kuririn and IS who we think it is? " Vejitto asked.
Vegeta grinned evilly, " THEN, she'll have to battle ME. "
" OOOOH. " the fusions oohed in unison.
" That will be SOME battle, Toussan! " Gogeta grinned.
" Haha, yeah Mommy--in fighting, you'd cream Ch--mmph?! " Vegeta put a hand over Vejitto's mouth.
" Shush! We can't let Kakarrotto become aware of our suspicions. If we do that then I won't be able to fight her the
way I plan to; and that would be going all out! " he flexed an arm muscle, then removed his hand.
" Ahh, I get it! " Vejitto chirped.
" Get what? " Goku asked, confused.
" MATCH 3 OF THE QUARTER-FINALS WILL BEGIN IN 5 MINUTES! " an announcer said over the intercom.
" Better get ready! " Vegeta grinned cheesily at Anonymous.
" Shuddup O---you! " she sputtered on the final word.
" This is going to be a FUN match. " Vegeta sat back in his seat.

" So who's up next? " Raditsu asked, looking over at the pamplet.
" It looks like Anonymous VS Kuririn. " Bulma held the pamplet over so he could see.
" Anonymous? " Raditsu blinked, " That's a weird name. "
Bulma sweatdropped, " Haha...so naive. " she smiled, " Anonymous is a word that a person can use inplace of their
real name when they don't want it revealed to the public. "
" OH! " Raditsu said, enlightened.
" Heh, remember the last REAL Budoukai we were in? Goku fault an Anonymous and it turned out to be Chi-Chi! " Yamcha
chuckled at the memory.
" Hahaha...!!! " Bulma bolted to attention, " Hey....where IS Chi-Chi? "
" Kaasan said she went to go get some "snacks". " Goten chirped, but said the final word in a wooden tone as if he
were acting badly.
" Did she...? " Bulma folded her arms, suspicious.
" Kakarroujo-plushie doesn't like Onna-plushie, so Toussan-plushie got rid of her FOREVER! " Bura grinned, holding
up the two plushies.
" Some people should just not have access to plushies. " Trunks sweatdropped, his non-purple tail flicking about in
the air.
" I hope Kuririn wins. It'd be nice to see him reach the 2nd round. " Yamcha nodded, " I never did. Roshi beat me,
then Tenshinhan, and then Kami. It was brutal. " he said with a broken laugh.
" But if Kuririn wins he'll have to fight either Vegeta or Juuhachigou; and I imagine either way that'll be VERY
difficult. " Bulma thought outloud as a thought-bubble appeared over her head. The first image had Juuhachigou lightly
flicking Kuririn out of the ring, the second had Vegeta beating up Kuririn until he was unconscious.
Yamcha sweatdropped at the second thought-bubble.
" He's not beyond that ya know. " Bulma said flatly, pointing to the Vegeta in the thought-bubble.
" I know, that's why I worry. Poor Kuririn. "
" WELCOME BACK EVERYBODY! " the announcer announced as he lept back into the ring, " It's time for Match 3 of the
Quarter Finals! Please welcome one of our old familiar faces--KURIRIN! "
The crowd cheered as Kuririn entered the ring.
" Hahaha. " Kuririn laughed, embarassed, ::Did he have to use "old" though?:: he mentally sweatdropped.
" And, one of our newcomers to the Tenkaichi Budoukai--Mrs. Anonymous!! " the announcer motioned to Anonymous as she
walked into the ring.
" Heh. " she smirked.
Kuririn looked over at her, ::Yeah, she's definately vaguely familiar. If she didn't have black eyes I'd say it
would be Videl easily; with that Saiya costume anyway::
" READY? "
Kuririn and Anonymous each struck defensive poses.
" GO! "
" HAAAAAAAAAA!! " Anonymous went flying at Kuririn, who whipped around to her side and sent a punch at her only to
have Anoynmous turn and flip over him and land on the other side, then sent a kick at Kuririn while was turning around.
Kuririn dodged the first punch and began to block the barrade of oncoming ones, " HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!! "
::I don't get it?! She's STRONG! Easily strong enough to be Videl, but--:: Kuririn sensed both Gohan and Videl in
the stands, ::And if its not her, and its DEFINATELY not Juuhachigou, then it'd have to be--!:: he froze just long enough to
have Anonymous send a blow to his chin, knocking Kuririn back several feet. He caught himself in mid-air, " Chi-Chi? " the
former monk muttered in disbelief, ::I'm fighting CHI-CHI?!::
Anonymous lept up into the air, Kuririn saw the position her hands went into and instantly recognized the attack as
a kamehameha. His eyes widened. Anonymous mouthed the syllables, then launched a fairly large blast of blue ki. Kuririn
positioned his feet heavily on the ground and caught the kamehameha. He struggled for a half a minute, then deflected it back
into the sky.
" ▫pant▫ ▫pant▫ I know I haven't trained regularly in a while but this is ridiculous?! " he twitched, " And how did
CHI-CHI get so strong? " Kuririn watched as Anonymous landed, " There's just no way...I mean, maybe if she was 20 years
younger and training all day long, but....unless she got some sort of power-up its not possible that her kamehameha would be
that strong. " he watched her hover in the air above him, " Hm....let's see, Goku beat her with a simple kiai, so.. " Kuririn
outstretched his arms and powered up, ::No harm in trying:: " KIAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! " he launched the huge gust of wind at
Anonymous, who braced herself and rode the wind through as it blew her back several feet. She then quickly launched a u-e and
spun towards Kuririn with her hands hanging down below her stomach while a ball of ki formed inside them.
" So much for that plan. KI-ENZEN! " Kuririn held his hand over his head and threw the disc-shaped ki at Anonymous,
who skidded to a halt and threw her ki-ball in the way of the ki-enzen. Kuririn swerved his hands to the right, avoiding the
two attacks from impact. While the ball of ki flew into the air he flipped his ki-enzen sideways and started to spin it
psychicly like a wheel. The ki-enzen raced towards Anonymous, who dodged it several times. She ran at Kuririn again, followed
by the ki-enzen. Anonymous jumped up infront of Kuririn just as the ki-enzen neared him. Kuririn quickly halted the attack
and caused it to disappear just as Anonymous came downwards and landed straight up with her feet ontop of Kuririn's chest,
knocking him halfway out of the ring. Kuririn waved his arms around trying to stop himself from possibly touching the ground.
Anonymous grabbed him by the collar.
" Pretty good match. I'd prefer it if you kept certain knowledge to yourself, kay? " she momentarily lifted the
cloth off that covered her nose and mouth, to reveal who she was. Then Anonymous promptly pushed the shocked Kuririn down two
more inches, causing him to hit the ground.
" Contestant Kuririn is out of bounds! Anonymous wins! " the budoukai announcer said as he got into the ring.
Anonymous gave a bow to the audiance, who applauded in surprise.
Kuririn lay there, everything after what Anonymous had just said fuzzing out in his mind due to the shock of it all,
" You gotta be kidding me. " he murmured, " YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING?! "

" Ugh. " Juuhachigou groaned as she slapped her hand over her face at the sight of Kuririn laying there with his
upper-body on the ground and his legs still on the edge of the ring.
" Hm, so she won, eh? "
Juuhachigou blinked in confusion for a moment, then looked down to see Vegeta peering outside, now standing next to
her, " What are you doing here? " she said flatly.
" This confirms my suspicions. " the ouji said, mock-wisely.
The android cocked an eyebrow at him, " So how'd she do it? "
" ? " Vegeta glanced up, " What do you mean? You just WATCHED the whole match. "
Juuhachigou sighed, " How did Chi-Chi suddenly get so strong? "
" SHHHHH! " Vegeta bolted up and made a shhing noise and arm motion, " First of all, I'm almost-completely-sure that
that is Onna. Second, I can't have anyone saying that outloud or else Kakarrotto will find out and if he finds out that I am
going to be physically fighting Onna, his mushy kaka-brain will most likely EXPLODE from the mental conflict. Third-- "
" --who says you're going to beat me? " she twitched, annoyed.
" Will you just play along for a moment! " Vegeta said, frustrated.
" Fine. "
" Third, all that extra power Onna has gained is due to that fruit from the Tree of Might she ate just a week and a
half ago. However I don't know HOW much stronger its made her. "
" "Tree of Might"?....I thought that fruit was only for the kais? "
" It is. Onna just ate some because she's evil, like Turles, only he's a different, more Kaka-like brand of evil. "
Vegeta explained, " I'll have you know however, that I was on my best behavior and DIDN'T eat any of said fruit. "
" Oh yeah, you're so pure of heart, Vegeta. It's a shame there aren't more people like you. " she muttered
sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.
" I know. I AM wonderful, aren't I? " Vegeta played along, grinning at her. Juuhachigou just raised her fist to bop
him over the head only to have the ouji dodge it, " HA! HA HA HA! " he laughed in victory, then instantly went back to a
more serious stance, " You can expect that as a sample of my reaction to all your attacks in the fourth Round. "
" I swear Goku's slowly been driving you crazy all these years. " she shook her head, still keeping her eyes on the
budoukai ring.
" It's not so much "crazy" as it is a madness. " the ouji replied, " A bizarre, mushy, gushy type of kaka-madness in
which common sense and logic take a backseat to close physical contact and soft warm hugs which seem to last for eternity and
send your mind to that frighteningly euphoric place where no harm could ever reach you and bliss is never-ending. "
" It sounds "nice". " she said, slightly sickened.
Vegeta shifted uneasily, feeling a bit panicked as well, " It is. "
" Hey VEGGIE, ready for your match! " a voice chirped from behind Vegeta and Juuhachigou. Vegeta looked over his
shoulder to see Goku standing there smiling cheerfully as his tail wagged back and forth.
" Yes actually Kakarrotto, I am. " the ouji boasted.
" Would Veggie like to give me a hug for goodluck? " Goku held out his arms.
" Ah... " the ouji sweatdropped.
" Come on Veggie! It worked for me when I gave Veggie a hug for goodluck. It helped me beat Goggie! " the larger
saiyajin smiled.
" Um...alright..butonlyashortone! " he warned, then walked up to Goku and gave a quick hug only to watch Anonymous
walk back into the budoukai building out of the corner of his eye. Vegeta grinned evilly, then leaned forward heavily,
knocking Goku's back onto the floor.
" ▫Oof▫! " Goku let out a noise of mild pain.
Anonymous froze, then glanced over her shoulder at the two saiyajin.
Vegeta grinned again, this time at her, " Oops, clumsy me. "
Anonymous fumed at the sight.
Goku lay there, confused with his face glowing bright pink.
" My peasants, they're so affectionate you know. Especially Kakarrotto here. " Vegeta purposely lowered his voice.
His possible future opponent growled.
Goku did his best to shake the fuzzy feeling out of his head, then partially sat up and rubbed the back of it,
" Oww. " he then looked back over at Vegeta. An idea sparked in his mind, causing the larger saiyajin to grin, " WAIII! "
Goku suddenly squealed, causing Vegeta to momentarily lose his track of thought just long enough for Goku to bounce back and
essentially swap their positions.
Vegeta's bottom left eyelid twitched while he was pinned to the ground by Kakarrotto.
" YAY! I win! " Goku cheered randomly.
" ...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! AHH AHH AHH AHH! " the little ouji freaked out, screaming and kicking and
trying desperately to pull himself free.
" HAHAHAHAHAHA! " Anonymous laughed, then walked off.
" NANANANANANNNGH! " Vegeta finally yanked himself free.
" Veggie? " Goku tilted his head, confused and worried.
" D--DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT TO ME! " the smaller saiyajin sputtered.
" You don't have enough composure to be an uke. " Juuhachigou observed.
" EXACTLY! " Vegeta said. Then watched Goku and pointed to Juuhachigou, " Listen to the android, Kakarrotto for she
speaks the truth! " he said wisely, " I am a SEME. "
" Veggie what's a-- "
" --get a dictionary. " Juuhachigou said lamely.
" Oh. " Goku nodded happily, " Oh-kay! "
" DON'T LISTEN TO HER KAKARROTTO! WHAT SHE SAYS IS A LIE! " Vegeta continued to point to Juuhachigou, who
sweatdropped. He glanced over at the fusions, " You agree that I'm more suited to be seme, right Gogeta? "
" That you are Toussan! " the dance fusion chirped.
" You agree as well, right Vejitto? "
" .. " Vejitto sat there silently.
" Vejitto? "
" I luv u Mommy! " the portara fusion smiled.
" ▫sigh▫ " Vegeta sighed, " Well I guess I know which position you think I should be in. "
" Well Mommy, Toussan's much bigger and stronger and-- "
" --shush! Continue any further and you may accidentally cause unwanted thoughts to spring forth inside Kakarrotto's
brain. " Vegeta folded his arms, " And we wouldn't want that. "
" :) " Goku smiled warmly at the little ouji.
" Ah ha ha...no, no we wouldn't. " Vegeta laughed nervously. He grabbed Goku by the collar and pulled him down to his
height, " You understand my need to be incontrol, right Kakarrotto. "
" Veggie's my ouji! " Goku chirped.
" Heh-heh-heh..yes. Yes I am. " Vegeta grinned, snickering, " Perfectly incontrol of my own peasants, and especially
incontrol of my favorite peasant. Do you know who "Veggie's favorite" is, Kakarrotto? " he said smoothly.
The larger saiyajin's eyes widened and began to sparkle and a huge grin threatened to release itself from Goku's
mouth, " Me? " he squeaked out in anticipation.
" Hai, Kakarrotto. You. "
" AAAAAH! " Goku exclaimed with excitement.
Vegeta let out a small, sharp yelp as two huge arms came down around him. Goku glomped the little ouji tightly.
" Mmmmmmmm—————— "
" ▫mmphMMPH?! MMH MPH MMHP!?▫ " Vegeta cried out, his voice muffled by the front of Goku's gi shirt. Goku sat back
and plopped himself down on his rear.
" MATCH 4 OF THE QUARTER-FINALS WILL BEGIN IN FIVE MINUTES! MATCH 4 OF THE QUARTER-FINALS WILL BEGIN IN FIVE
MINUTES! " a voice announced over the p.a.
" Oh my! Veggie's match is in 5 whole minutes! " Goku gasped, pulling the dazed, glowing bright red Ouji away from
him, " Veggie you have to get ready! "
" What usually snaps him out of this? " Juuhachigou asked, " You know, if you can't get it done in time he'll have to
forfeit. "
" "FORFEIT"!? " Goku looked horrified, " OH NO!! I cannot let that happen, Juuhachigou! Veggie and I trained for a
whole week for this tournament and we spent so much time together and we were going to fight each other in the finals and
WAKE UP VEGGIE!! " he shook Vegeta back and forth, to no avail. Goku pouted, " ...OF COURSE! Cold water! " he chirped. Goku
zipped over to where the fusions were, " Ji-chan and Goggie I need some cold water for Veggie! "
" Do not worry, Toussan! " Vejitto grinned, then pulled out a capsule and tossed it to the ground to reveal the
Fusion Mobile, " The Fusion Moble has LOTS of cold water in it! "
Gogeta opened the back door and hopped inside. He picked up a bucket and dunked it in one of the containers, then
pulled the bucket out to reveal it was now full of ice-water, " Here u go, Kaasan! " he hopped back out and walked up to
Goku, " Would you like to dunk Toussan or should I? "
" I can handle it, Goggie! " Goku told him. Gogeta gave Goku the bucket, then jogged back to his seat while Vejitto
re-capsulized the Fusion Mobile. Goku plopped Vegeta on the ground, then quickly poured the bucket over his head, causing
the ouji to help and a large bundle of steam to follow.
" AAAH! COLD! " Vegeta yelled, dripping wet, " ...wait, what happened? "
" Veggie might want to dry off. " Goku said, causing even more confusion as Vegeta whipped around to face him, " AND
I i-ronically happen to have a nice big towel to help Veggie with that! " he suddenly held a huge orange towel.
Vegeta peered down at the towel to see dozens of little kaka-germs snuggling and purring all over the towel. He
gulped, " I think I'd rather air-dry, thanks Kakarrotto. "
" Oh-kay. It is Veggie's decision. " Goku shrugged, then put the towel back from whence it came.

" Well, anyone else nervous? " Bulma spoke up, " I hope he doesn't try to pull anything. "
Yamcha flipped through the Budoukai Finals Lineup Book again, " I have a feeling he will. " the dessert bandit
laughed nervously.
" I for one, am looking forward to Vegeta-san's match. " Turles smirked.
" You do know that Vegeta's up against a super-powered android with unlimited ki supply? " Raditsu pointed out,
" He's not going to beat her in just two seconds. "
" I know. But I have confidence in Vegeta-san and his ablilites. " Turles nodded, " It's Kakarrotto whom he should be
worried about; if they get matched up of course. "
" ... " Raditsu looked over at him.
Turles noticed this out of the corner of his eye, " Why are you staring? " he smirked, " Intrigued? It's my aura of
mystery and danger, isn't it? "
" Ah-- " Raditsu instantly moved back half a foot, uneasy, " No! No...it's just that I haven't seen two type-3
saiyajin in one place in such a long time...you know how you and my ototochan look so similar. " he waved his hands out
infront of him, ::And the last thing I really need right now is for him to start messing with MY head too::
" You know, once my arm heals I'll be in the market for a new sidekick/henchman. Afterall, you were evil as well at
one point, and you were sort of Vegeta-san's sidekick, and we both don't particularly care for wearing pants... "
" I, like my pants thanks, really. " Raditsu put his hands on his legs and grabbed at the dark maroon gi pants he
wore.
" HI EVERYONE! IT'S TIME FOR THE FINAL ROUND OF THE 27TH BUDOUKAI QUARTER-FINALS! " the budoukai announcer walked
out onto the ring, " This match will decide who will be the last person to move up to the semi-finals! Match 1 of the
Semi-Finals will be between Son Vejitto Oujisama and Son Goku! Match 2 will be between Anonymous and the winner of this
match! " the large screen across from the audiance shown Kuririn's picture with an x over it as well. Vejitto, Goku, and
Anonymous's pictures were lit up, " And now to introduce the contestants of match 4! Vegeta Oujisama, who you all remember
actually DESTROYED one of our punching machine's from the previous tournament with a single punch!; and Juuhachigou, the
young woman who proved her strength by making it all the way to the final match against Hercule. She's our current runner
up! Give them both a hand! "
The audiance cheered Vegeta and Juuhachigou on as they entered the ring.
" WHOOOO! GO VEGGIE YOU CAN DO IT! " Goku cheered, waving a banner with a doodled Veggie-plushie on it, " YOU'RE MY
NUMBER 1, VEGGIE!! " he gushed.
Vegeta felt his face turn bright red at the sight, " Ah haha. " he waved to Goku, then shook the redness off.
" Don't let him distract you during the match, Vegeta. It just might cost you the other arm, AND the match. "
Juuhachigou warned him as she got into a defensive position.
" Heh. Kakarrotto may distract me during everyday household tasks, but NEVER in battle. " Vegeta boasted, getting
into position as well.
" READY! " the announcer said as the drums began to beat.
" GO!! "
" ▫FWOOOSH▫! "
" ▫FWOOOSH▫! " the two opponents flew at each other. Goku perched himself ontop of the budoukai sign in the doorway
to watch.
" HA! "
" HA! " Vegeta and Juuhachigou's fists collided. They each started throwing punches at each other only to have every
one of them blocked. Juuhachigou swerved her body to the right and grabbed Vegeta by the leg. Vegeta pulled his free leg back
and sent a kick back at her. Juuhachigou held her left arm up and blocked the kick. The little ouji narrowed his eyes and
quickly snapped his leg away, knocking Juuhachigou off. He formed a ball of ki and threw it at her. Juuhachigou knocked it
away and flew at him.
" AARG! " she threw two punches at once. Vegeta grabbed each of her arms and flipped over over his head only to have
her land a kick to his back. Vegeta fell forward but quickly landed on his right hand and spun about, tripping Juuhachigou,
who launched several small ki blasts at him. Vegeta dodged the blasts awkwardly from the position he was in. He bounced back
up on his feet and powered up. Juuhachigou silently watched him.
" Hmm... " Vegeta contemplated on what to do next, then gasped to see the android no longer there.
" VEGGIE! "
" What! " Vegeta snapped over at the larger saiyajin, turning in a way that he caused Juuhachigou to miss a grab to
his arm. Vegeta noticed her and landed a punch to the gut, sending Juuhachigou up into the air. He quickly assumed an
offensive position, " GARRIKU HO! " the ouji screamed, letting the huge pink blast rip forth from just above the palms of his
hands and let loose off itno the air at Juuhachigou. Her eyes widened and she held her arms up to cover her face as the blast
engulfed her.
The audiance stared upward in awe of the attack. The dust cleared to reveal Juuhachigou still hovering; though a good
several feet lower; and now missing 3/4ths of the sleeves on her formerly sleeved-shirt. She slowly landed on the ground and
glared at Vegeta.
" Looks like it hurt. " the ouji smirked.
" Shuddup. " she dusted herself off, only to jump to the side as Vegeta flew past her, " ERRR.. " Juuhachigou hovered
up again and flew after him. Vegeta flew in a circle around the ring, Juuhachigou following him. She powered up even more and
caught up to Vegeta, then gasped when she went right through him.
" What the-- " Juuhachigou gawked, then saw Vegeta coming down at her from above out of the corner of her eye and
swung her arm up only to go right through him again just as something kneed her sharply and quickly in the side, causing
her to grab for it only to be ki-blasted from the other direction and knocking the android over, " Ugh... " she sat up, her
side aching, " But... " that was when she sensed it. Juuhachigou stumbled to her feet to see Vegeta standing on the edge of
the ring in ssj2, " ....SUPER SAIYAJIN 2?! YOU IDIOT YOU THINK THIS IS AN EMERGANCY?! " she yelled at him.
" Not anymore. " Vegeta said cooly.
Juuhachigou blinked, staring blankly at him. She then looked down to see she was standing next to the ring, " ... "
" :D " Vegeta grinned, almost Son-style.
" Shimatta... " the android muttered under her breath, " Fine. You win. I won't complain about it. " she grumbled,
dusting herself off, " But tell me. HOW did you do that? "
" Do what? " the ouji continued to grin.
" YOU KNOW WHAT! " she snapped, then calmed down, " Disappear but leave your image intact. "
" Ah yes. That's one of Kakarrotto's little tricks I learned from him during our training week. " Vegeta boasted,
" The "After-Image" technique, Hai Kakay? "
" HEEE——— " Goku beamed, proud of the little ouji.
" Juuhachigou is out of the ring! " the budoukai announcer walked into it, " Vegeta Oujisama is the winner! "
The crowd cheered and Vegeta puffed his chest out as it swelled with pride, along with his ego.
" Just what he needs, an ego-boost. " Anonymous rolled her eyes.
" We'll have a half-hour break, and then come back with the start of the Semi Finals! See you 30 minutes everybody! "

" OHHHHHH VEGGIEVEGGIEVEGGIE I am SO proud of you! " Goku gushed as he glomped the little ouji upon Vegeta entering
the building, " You won and you didn't get your arm broken this time or ANYTHING like that! "
Vegeta squeezed out of the hug and backed up, " Ah, haha...yeah. I didn't did--!! " he suddenly froze.
:::" VEGGIE! "
" What! " Vegeta snapped over at the larger saiyajin, turning in a way that he caused Juuhachigou to miss a grab to
his arm.:::
" ...oh dear God I would've likely broken my arm if you hadn't shouted at me.....you KNEW that was going to happen
and that's WHY you spoke up! " he gawked, slightly freaked out by the larger saiyajin, " HOW DID YOU DO THAT?! "
" :) " Goku grinned and wagged his tail.
" Do you have psychic powers that I'm unaware of? " the ouji narrowed his eyes in paranoid suspicion.
" He can read minds. "
" ?! " Vegeta whipped around to face Kuririn, " ...excuse me? " he paled.
" When Goku arrived on Namek-sei and asked us what happened, I started to explain but instead he put his hand ontop
of my head and instantly knew everything that had happened to us since we got there. " Kuririn said while Goku nodded as he
spoke, " I asked him when and how he learned to do that and he said he didn't know, he just "thought it would work". "
" He can read minds? " Vegeta said flatly, dumbfounded.
" Sure. Entire chunks of them. It took almost an entire month for us to get to Namek-sei, and another 6 days before
Goku arrived. He absorbed over a month's worth of knowledge right out of my head in only 5 or 6 seconds. " Kuririn motioned
to Goku.
" ... " Vegeta stared at him blankly, " Kakarrotto...can reach into your mind just by touching your head and absorb
copies of chunks of your memory? " he said in a little voice.
" Yup! " Goku chirped.
" WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS BEFORE?! " the ouji exclaimed, horrified, " YOU COULD'VE BEEN FINDING OUT INFORMATION
ABOUT ME THIS WHOLE TIME THAT ONLY I'M SUPPOSED TO KNOW WITHOUT ME KNOWING IT! "
" Silly Veggie, I don't read minds THAT often. Afterall Chi-chan says I must re-spect the privacy of others. " Goku
nodded, " Course, she doesn't know I can read minds either....but I have only read Veggie's mind once or twice and that's
while Veggie was either a-sleep or I was hugging him. " he said happily, " I like your mind, Veggie. It's so complex and in
need of luv. "
Vegeta backed up several feet; now officially terrified at the thought of not only Goku mentally reaching inside his
brain and pulling out things, but at what the larger saiyajin already knew about the ouji from his first two tries.
" Maybe...I shouldn't have told him that. " Kuririn sweatdropped.
" Maybe I should not have told Veggie either. " Goku shook his head, worried.
" No need to worry, Mommy! " Vejitto chirped as he popped up from behind Goku, " Its not like Toussan's gonna read
your mind during the fight! And if I beat Toussan in the Semi Finals then you won't have to worry about that at all! "
" ... " Vegeta just stared at them, then gulped.
" Oh Veggie you KNOW I would not pry into your little Veggie-head without your permission! " Goku started walking
cautiously over to him while Vegeta began to back up, " I did not look at any of Veggie's secrets. Just like I know Veggie
would never pry into my own secrets if he hand the chance to do so without my knowledge. "
The little ouji held his fists up infront of himself in defense.
Goku held out his hand, " Please Veggie. " he smiled.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes at Goku, suspicious. He looked down at the open hand, then at Goku, then back at the hand.
The ouji slowly opened the fist that he'd made with his right hand while keeping his left in the same position as before. He
reached out and lightly grabbed the larger saiyajin's hand only to have Goku swiftly spin him around right against his chest.
Vegeta's head bobbed dizzily from the rapidness of it all. He felt something heavy plop itself ontop his head and two more
warm items over his shoulders, " Uh... " Vegeta blinked, his face starting to redden, " That's uh, that's nice, Kakarrotto. "
he tried to pull himself free, " You can let go now. "
" I wish I could see into the future, that way I'd know why I'm so worried a-bout you. " Goku whispered, then gave
a squeeze and let go. Vegeta shook his head clear, whipped out the peasant-repel, and started to spray himself with it.
" Haha..hahaha... " he laughed nervously, watching Goku while he did so, " I'll be fine, Kakarrotto. It's not like
I'm going to DIE out there. Infact, I can't die. I'm immortal and have been so for two years this october, and so have you! "
" ...there are worse things that could happen to my Veggie than to die. "
" Are there really? " the ouji folded his arms, " Ah...hey Vejitto! " he waved the portara fusion over.
" Hai Mommy? " Vejitto chirped.
" How about you go spar with Kakarrotto for a little bit before your match, huh? You know, take his mind off whatever
he seems to think is going to happen to me in the near or distant future. " the ouji advised, then paused, " You, wouldn't
happen to KNOW what Kakarrotto's worried about, would you? "
" You know I'd tell you if I did, Mommy. " the fusion replied.
" Hai..you would. " Vegeta sighed and looked over at Gogeta.
" I dunno why Kaasan is worried either. " Gogeta shrugged, confused.
" Son Goku! " the budoukai announcer poked his head in the doorway, " Five minutes til your match! "
" Huh? OH! " Goku said, instantly perking up again, " Thank you Mr. Budoukai Announcer! I will pre-pare! " he said
happily. The announcer left and Goku started to stretch his arms and legs.
" Hmm.. " Vegeta watched him, concerned, " He makes me wish I could read his mind... "

" WELCOME BACK EVERYONE! HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE BREAK! AND WE HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING OUR BUDOUKAI EVEN MORE! " the
announcer said as he stood in the middle of the ring, " The first round of the tournament is over and you know what that
means! We're up to the Semi Finals! These two matches will decide who our two finalists will be! Son Vejitto Oujisama, Son
Goku, Mrs. Anonymous, or Vegeta Oujisama! "
The crowd cheered.
" And now for the first match! Son Vejitto Oujisama VS Son Goku! " he stepped to the side as Vejitto and Goku came
out of the main building, waving to the audiance who cheered and appluaded them on, " As you know, Son Goku's first opponent
in the finals happened to be one of his sons. The same goes for this match as well; Vejitto here is Gogeta, Gohan, and
Goten's brother! "
" HI!! " Vejitto said happily to the audiance.
" So Vejitto! Your brother, Gohan, turned 21 early this past May. How old are you? "
" Umm, I'm not sure. " the fusion grinned cheesily.
Some of the audiance laughed.
The announcer stood there, confused, " You, don't know how old you are? "
" Well it de-pends. Do you mean how long have I existed or how old my dna says I am? " Vejitto asked him.
" ...? " the budoukai announcer stood there, ::I think I just got a brain-cramp:: he sweatdropped, " Well, you must
be younger than 21 if Gohan's your older brother. "
" I suppose so... " Vejitto scratched the back of his head, Son-style, the grinned, " Heehee, you would laugh if I
said 2, huh? "
" Haha, I probably would. " he said, then turned to Goku, " So Son Goku! You've never lost a single Budoukai without
making it to the final match. Think you'll be able to do it this time? "
" You mean if I could beat Ji-chan? " Goku glanced over at the grinning fusions, " Haha! Ji-chan is very tricky, just
as tricky as Goggie. I can't really tell cuz fighting them is almost like fighting myself. " he thought outloud, " Either
way I'm excited that I get to fight him! " he said cheerfully.
" There you have it! Now, " the announcer hopped out of the ring, " READY? "
Goku and Vejitto walked over to opposite sides of the ring.
" GO! "
" Huh huh huh! " Goku bent down and started to warm up while Vejitto did the same, both of them stretching their arms
and legs.
" What are they doing? " Vegeta sweatdropped.
" Silly Toussan, they're warming up. " Gogeta smiled at him.
" Oh... " the ouji cocked an eyebrow at the two saiyajin in the ring, " Why didn't YOU do that? " he pointed to them
while turning to face Gogeta.
" Hahaha! I don't need to warm up! I like your method of jump-in-and-suddenly-ATTACK at the start of my battles. "
the dance fusion explained.
" Hai. It is indeed a brilliant strategy, offense-wise. " Vegeta smirked, nodded proudly.
Gogeta folded his arms, mimicking the little ouji, " Indeed it is! "
" Nnn nnn, OH-KAY! " Goku grinned, finished stretching.
" I feel limbered! " Vejitto chirped.
Both saiyajin instantly struck defensive poses, narrowing their eyes.
" Now it gets interesting. " Vegeta smirked.
" HAAAAAAAA! "
" HAAAAAAAA! "
" ▫BOOM▫! " the sides of both Vejitto's right arm and Goku's left arm collided. The two saiyajin smirked at each
other. Vejitto bounced off into the air, landing a kick to swerve Goku to the side as he flew up. Goku flipped and caught
himself, then held his hands at his sides and formed a ball of ki in each. Vejitto blasted downward at him in a spiral. Goku
hopped over him, " HAA! " he shot the ki balls at the flying Vejitto, who quickly landed and dodged both of them. He ran at
Goku only to have the balls of ki suddenly teleport at his sides and crash into either of his arms, however instead of
exploding they hovered there, just barely touching his skin. Goku watched silently as a ki shield suddenly became visible
around Vejitto, who grinned.
" BARRIER! " and with that cry he launched the ki balls off into the the distance at opposite sides.
" Hm. " Goku bounced back and forth while heading at Vejitto; each time he did so leaving an after image behind him.
Goku hopped forward until he was a foot from Vejitto and stand there. Vejitto struck his hands out and gasped to see the
seemingly solid Goku was instead a much more realistic looking after image. Vejitto felt Goku's ki and whipped around only
to be grabbed in headlock, " Hello Ji-chan! " Goku said happily.
" ERR! " Vejitto lifted his back foot up and quickly jabbed Goku in the thigh, causing him to release Vejitto just
in time for the fusion to grab Goku by the waist with his tail and and start swinging him over his head.
" WHOAWHOAWHOA! " Goku shook the dizziness out of his head and and shot a ki-blast at Vejitto's back right next to
the tail. Vejitto yelped and chucked Goku out of the ring where the larger saiyajin caught himself in mid-air, hovering
upside-down.
Vejitto's tail whipped back and forth through the air and he struck a very familiar position. Goku mirrored his
position.
Bulma gasped at what was about to happen from the stands. She whipped out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.
Yamcha looked over at her, worried at the action below.
" KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.... " Goku and Vejitto started out in unison.
" MEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... "
" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.... "
" MEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... "
" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! "
" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! " two huge kamehamehas let loose at each other, colliding with enough
power to light the stadium and the entire city it was housed in. Goku pushed his kamehameha forward as he tried to get back
onto the ring from in the air while Vejitto pushed in the other direction. For a good ten seconds the entire fight was at a
standstill, neither kamehameha budging from its spot. Suddenly Goku and Vejitto burst into ssj and launched an extra burst
of energy into their blasts only to cause the two to combine and blast both saiyajin up into the air. Vejitto, slightly
charred, appeared behind Goku and grabbed him by the arms, then hurtled him downward just out of the ring. Goku stopped them
just before touching the ground and blasted Vejitto off with a kiai. Goku landed back in the middle of the ring, along with
his son.
" Heh, pretty good, Ji-chan. " Goku smiled, impressed.
" Thank you! " Vejitto's voice said from behind him. Goku whipped around only to reached a punch to the chin, causing
him to stumble back a few steps.
Goku rubbed his cheek and chuckled at the fusion. He looked over his shoulder at Vejitto's after-image, which was
beginning to fade, " Wow, you pick up stuff fast. " he commented.
Vejitto took a deep breath, his cheeks puffing up with air. Goku held his position, then gasped when he saw the first
of the 10 flufy white things pop out of the fusion's mouth, " You may 've beat Goggie's clones, but we'll see if you can beat
THESE guys, Toussan! SUPER GHOST KAMIKAZE ATTACK X10! "
The 10 Vejitto-ghosts floated randomly through the air, laughing and giggling.
" Aww! They are kawaii, Ji-chan! " Goku clasped his hands together.
" Heh. " Vejitto smirked, then flew at Goku while the ghosts flew behind him in a formation. Vejitto formed a small
ki ball and blasted it at Goku only a foot away. Goku jumped up to avoid the blast only to have one of the ghosts grab him
by the back.
" HAAAA! " the ghost shouted as it exploded ontop of Goku, causing him to fall stomach-first onto the ring.
" Hn. " Goku lept to his feet, the back of his gi now burnt, " Oh well. " he shrugged and ripped the orange gi top
off to fully reveal his blue t-shirt underneath. Goku tossed the top to the side and waited as two more of the ghosts flew at
him, ::I am ready for you now:: " HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! " he burst into ssj2 the second the ghosts were in range of his aura,
sending the one closer to Goku flying back into the other one and causing them both to explode, " Heehee! " Goku gave a
thumbs-up, " 7 more to go! " he glanced up. The Vejitto-ghosts had formed a circle just two feet above Goku. Another foot
above them and directly above Goku was Vejitto himself. Vejitto said something to one of the ghosts, who smirked and nodded.
Goku watched the ghosts, then took a deep breath himself. His cheeks puffed up the way Vejitto's had several minutes
ago.
" Heh, silly Toussan. If he does manage to make 7 ghosts of his own all they'll do is cancel out my own and depribe
him of more energy. It won't get him anywhere. " Vejitto said to his ghosts.
" ... " another minute passed and Goku's cheeks were still expanding with air. Vejitto cocked an eyebrow while his
ghosts stared on in confusion. Two more minutes passed. Goku's cheeks were now large enough to nearly take up the entire
ring, " ▫POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO▫! " he exhaled. Out of his mouth came a sole gigantic white blob which
formed into a Goku-ghost big enough to take up almost two rings. The ghost hovered overtop of Goku's head.
" ... " everyone stared at it blankly.
" HIIIII! " the Goku-ghost chirped in a deep falsetto voice.
" o.O " Vegeta stared at the site with his jaw hanging slightly open. The ouji's eyes rolled into the back of his
head and he promptly fainted.
" Eep! Toussan! " Gogeta caught the unconsious ouji.
Vejitto and his ghosts collectively sweatdropped at the sight of the giant Goku-ghost.
" You never know what to expect with Son-kun. " Bulma murmured from the stands, taking her sunglasses off to get a
better look at the huge ghost.
" Uh... " Vejitto blinked, then regained his ground, " SUPER-GHOSTS! ATTACK HIM! " he pointed to the Goku-ghosts.
" AAAAH! " the 7 ghosts simultaneously thundered down at the Goku-ghost; exploding on impact and causing a huge
cloud in the process. Vejitto coughed slightly as the air cleared only to gasp in shock. The Goku-ghost still hovered there,
unhurt.
" My GHOSTS! " Vejitto exclaimed, " They are gone....and you didn't even blow up! " he shouted at the Goku-ghost,
confused.
" ▫Fwip▫fwip▫fwip▫fwip▫fwip▫ " the Ghoku spun his tail around in a circle like propeller, lifting him slowly upward.
Vejitto watched as the humongous ghost moved towards him, He tried to zip out of the way only to find the ghost now looming
over him. He quickly put his fingers over his forehead and teleported to where Goku was only to find instead of Goku, a
normal-sized Ghoku hovered there, waving at him.
" Hello! "
" ACK! " Vejitto bounced back just intime for the bigger ghost above him to spot spinning his tail and land directly
onto the ring.
" ▫KA-BOOM▫!!!! " the explosion from the impact rocked the entire stadium as Goku hovered a good 12 feet up in the
air.
" Waaaaaah.... " Vejitto, who had landed on the roof of the main building, groaned in a daze--half conscious.
" Uh... " the Budoukai Announcer cautiously made his way onto the ring; which had somehow miraculously survived the
explosion, " Son Vejitto Oujisama is out of the ring...and partially unconscious. " he said into the mic as he watched
Vejitto, " Son Goku wins! "
" HOORAY! " Goku cheered in mid-air, then landed happily onto the ring, " I WIN I WIN I WIN! " he hopped out of the
ring while the audiance cheered. Vejitto stumbled to his feet and flew down to the ground, dizzy, " Oh Ji-chan! Are you
oh-kay? " Goku asked.
" Ah, I'm ah..I'm fine. " Vejitto laughed, grabbing a hold of the wall, " I am just a little disoriented, that's
all. "
" Ohh...Goggie can you help me with Ji-chan? " Goku asked the dance fusion.
" Sure! " Gogeta said happily, handing Goku something lumpy and warm, " If you take care of Toussan! "
Goku glanced down to see the unconsious Vegeta, " Oh my! Veggie what happened! " he gasped.
" He saw your super-ghost and fainted in shock. " Gogeta explained as if it were nothing out of the ordinary as he
helped Vejitto inside.
" You are kidding! " Goku gasped even louder, then smiled at the little ouji, " Aww Veggie! " he hugged the smaller
saiyajin, " You know I'd never hurt YOU. " he grinned, then paused, " At least outside of battle. When I fight you in the
finals you prob-bably will get hurt. " Goku thought outloud, " But that's oh-kay! "
" .. " Vegeta lay there.
" :) " Goku grinned at the unconsious saiyajin he was holding, " Come Veggie, let's go sit down on the couch so you
can regain consciousness! "
" ▫WHEW▫! " Vejitto exclaimed as he sat down on a cushioned chair next to the couch Goku and Vegeta had just sat on,
" Toussan your attacks are as random as mine. "
" Hee— " Goku beamed, " Of course they are! That is where you and Goggie got it, right? Unless little Veggie here is
random and just hasn't let anyone know a-bout it. " he patted Vegeta on the shoulder.
" Somehow I doubt that. "
Goku looked up to see Anonymous standing there, " Hello Mrs. Anonymous! How are you! Ready to fight my little Veggie?
You're gonna have to work hard though cuz Veggie's REALLY STRONG. " he held up Vegeta's right arm and pressed lightly on the
ouji's muscles.
" HA! I can beat that Ouji any day of the week! " she boasted.
" ... " Goku stared at her.
" Ah.. " Anonymous backed up a few steps, " Yes? "
" How did you know Veggie's a ouji? "
" Well I--heard him mention it earlier. " she stumbled, " Yes. He thinks he's so "great and powerful", doesn't he? "
" HAHA! Yeah. My Veggie is both of those things. " Goku looked down at the unconsious ouji.
" Uhhh... " Vegeta groaned.
" Aww! Veggie is waking up! " Goku said, delighted, " Come on little Veggie! You have to wake up if you're going to
fight Mrs. Anonymous and de-feat her so that we can battle each other in the Final Finals. "
" WHO SAYS HE'S GOING TO BEAT ME! " Anonymous said, offended.
Goku watched her for a moment, " Well, according to your current level of ki, you aren't physically strong enough to
beat Veggie. But that doesn't mean you don't have a chance. "
" Hnnn.. " she twitched, then opened her mouth to say something only to stop and walk a foot away to start warming
up for her match, " HN HN HN! "
" It is definately her. " Gogeta nodded, suspicious.
" No doubt a-bout it. " Vejitto added, rubbing the back of his head in mild pain.
" Toussan, Jitto and I a-gree that you'll have to be careful when fighting Mrs. Anonymous because we are sure she is
who we think she could possibly be. "
" Wahh...wha? " Vegeta shook his head, trying to sit up straight.
Goku reached over and grabbed the ouji's hands, " I wish you GOOD LUCK Veggie, even though I know you probably won't
need it be-cause of what a wonderful and a-mazing fighter you already are! "
" Umm, ah, thank you? " Vegeta said, confused. He regained some ground, " And, of course I am! " he said proudly.
Goku smiled warmly at him, " That's my Veggie! "

" Wow....I've never seen a kamikaze ghost like Kakarroujo's before. " Bura said as the group sat in the audiance,
" It looked like a huge kaka-germ, only not red. " she nodded.
" Like a "huge kaka-germ"...no wonder Vegeta-san fainted. " Turles grinned wickedly.
" Son-kun never ceases to amaze me. " Bulma smiled, impressed with Goku, " I'm looking forward to his next battle. I
hope its with Vegeta though. "
" Hai. That Anonymous's ki wasn't very high. Goku would beat her easily. I mean, I want Goku to win, but... " Yamcha
tried to explain.
" Vegeta should do just fine. " Bulma replied, " And if he needs to go ssj to beat Anonymous, there's no harm in
that. "
" WELCOME BACK! " the announcer announced as he once again left the main building for the ring, " WE'RE DOWN TO THE
FINAL MATCH IN THE 27TH TENKAICHI BUDOUKAI SEMI-FINALS! THIS BATTLE WILL DETERMINE WHO FACES SON GOKU, ONE OF OUR FORMER
CHAMPS, IN THE ULTIMATE BATTLE TO WIN THE ULTIMATE PRIZE! THE TITLE OF THE TENKAICHI BUDOUKAI CHAMPION AND $500,000 ZENI IN
CASH! "
The crowd roared.
" THE WINNER WILL ALSO GO HOME WITH THIS LARGE, SEMI-HANDSOME BELT! " he held up the belt Hercule had won in the
previous Budoukai, " And now to introduce our two semi-finalists! Vegeta Oujisama and Mrs. Anonymous! "
Vegeta proudly marched into the ring, followed by Anonymous.
" Vegeta left us during the last Budoukai, but this year he's proven by his previous battles that he's earned his
spot in the Semi-Finals. Mrs. Anonymous here is also a newcomer to the Budoukai, correct? "
" Ah, yes. Yes I am. " she lied.
" She's also only the 2nd person in Tenkaichi Budoukai history ever to request their name be kept private; the first
being Son Chi-Chi Gyu-Mao, who fought Son Goku during the 23rd tournament and ended up marrying him on the same day. "
" Heh-heh-heh... " Anonymous grinned beneath the cloth she had covering her nose and mouth.
Vegeta glanced over at her and cocked an eyebrow. He smirked, " She did prove that Kakarrotto always keeps his
promises. "
" He HAPPENED to love her as well. " Anonymous retorted.
" Exactly. "
" ? " she cocked an eyebrow at him.
" "Happened". Past tense. " Vegeta smirked.
" Curse your grammatical correctness, Ou---ah, YOU! " she pointed at him, frustrated.
" Heh. " the ouji grinned.
" GO VEGGIE! YOU CAN DO IT! " Goku cheered from the doorway to the main building, " I BELIEVE IN YOU, LITTLE VEGGIE!"
he held up a banner reading "GO VEGGIE GO!"
" Heh-heh, why thank you. " Vegeta said smoothly.
Anonymous growled at the little ouji, a vein bulging on her forehead.
" I'll see you in the FINAL Finals, Kakay. " Vegeta replied.
" Mmm...heehee. " the larger saiyajin's cheeks flushed pink while a grin appeared on his face.
" You act like you're trying to court him. " Anonymous hissed.
Vegeta glanced over at her, unfazed, " On the contrary; Kakarrotto and I have a purely platonic relationship. "
The Budoukai Announcer left the ring, " READY? "
The drums nearby began to play.
" ... " Vegeta and Anonymous struck defensive positions.
::This is going to be interesting...::
::This may be my only chance to seriously attack the Ouji without Goku-san to stop me; I'm taking advantage of it.::
" GO!!! "
" AAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!! " Anonymous flew at Vegeta, who stood there boastfully as she lundged at him and began to
repeatedly punch and kick the little ouji. Vegeta whistled, unaffected by her attacks. Anonymous sent as kick to his stomach,
then bounced back, panting slightly.
" Was that it? " the ouji asked, smirking.
" You're---you're---no wonder Goku-san spars with YOU. " she gawked, shocked.
" Do I frighten you, "Anonymous"? Or should I say, " Vegeta lowered his voice to a whisper, " Onna. "
" !!! " Anonymous gasped, " You KNOW?! "
" BWAHAHA! Oh come on! Even with keeping your ki lowered and wearing that ridiculous Saiyaman knock-off costume I can
still tell its you. And by the way, so could Vejitto and Gogeta. " the ouji bragged.
" Errr.. " Anonymous backed up, putting her hands into fists.
" No need to worry though; Kakarrotto hasn't the slightest idea who you are, and I'm pretty sure that's how you'd
like to keep it. " Vegeta explained, " Afterall, I doubt you let him sleepover with me 4 days in a row out of the "kindness
of your heart". " he mocked her.
" .. " Anonymous narrowed her eyes at Vegeta.
" Well? " the ouji grinned.
" You evil little Ouji! You won't be grinning at all once I've beaten you! " Anonymous glared at him, " You forget
I've had some of Turles magical fruit! "
" And you seriously believe that alone will allow you to defeat me? " Vegeta asked, amused.
" We'll have to find out. " Anonymous started to stretch a bit, " Are you going to fight back this time? "
" Of course. It's not like we've ever literally fought each other in battle before. It'll be interesting. " he
stretched a bit himself.
" That's Goku-san's style of warming up. " Anonymous twitched, annoyed.
" I know. Kakarrotto and I have traded quite a few of our techniques; that way it helps us both in strength AND will
make the final Budoukai battle even more interesting. " he explained, " Ready? "
" Hn! " she nodded fiercely.
" HAAAAA! " Vegeta flew at her, Anonymous through a punch only to have the ouji disappear and reappear behind her,
landing a kick to her back. Anonymous stumbled forward, then whipped around and punched him in the chest. The two began
trading punches as they moved back and forth across the ring.
" Aw man. He's toying with her. " Yamcha sweatdropped from the stands.
" Out of curiousity...how much of Vegeta's power is he using right now? " Bulma asked Yamcha.
" About 10% of it. " he flatly replied.
" 10%?! " she gasped, " But why would he do that.....unless, " she looked around at the others who were seated with
her and noted the one person missing, " "Anonymous" is really....oh boy. " Bulma sweatdropped.
" YAAAAAH! " Anonymous kicked Vegeta in the side. Vegeta grabbed her by the leg she'd just kicked him with, then
swung her around the side and across the ring. Anonymous quickly landed on her feet, shaking slightly.
" GO VEGGIE! YOU CAN DO IT! " Goku cheered, just a foot away from them.
Anonymous sent a death-glare at Goku, immediently silencing him.
" You have an even scarier death-glare than Chi-chan. " Goku commented, uncomfortable.
" SO!? "
Goku stared at her.
Anonymous stared back.
" GO VEGGIE! " Goku went back to cheering.
" Grrr... " Anonymous growled at Vegeta, who was obviously enjoying the praise, " KAIO-KEN TIMES 5!!! " she screamed
and a huge red aura appeared around her. She flew at Vegeta, who easily dodged. Anonymous flipped to her side while still
moving in the same direction and shot a ki-blast at Vegeta's back. Vegeta smirked.
" OH the PAIN! " he wailed in mock-agony as he fell onto his stomach, " Remember me, KAKARROTTO! "
" ... " Goku's eyes widened 10 times over, " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! " he cried out in
horror, " MY VEGGIE! "
Anonymous started to sweat as she walked over to Vegeta, who had x eyes and his tongue sticking out. She lightly
poked him, " Ouji? "
Vegeta just lay there, now starting to drool.
Anonymous looked over at Goku, who's eyes were now welling up with tears.
" Oh come ON Ouji! This is NOT funny! " she kicked in in frustration, causing Vegeta to flip several times and land
further towards the edge of the ring, lifelessly.
" He was unconscious and in pain and you KICKED him! " Goku exclaimed, hurt.
" HE'S NOT UNCONSCIOUS OR IN PAIN! HE'S PLAYING ALONG TO MAKE ME LOOK LIKE THE BAD GUY! "
" You're a GUY? "
" ... " Anonymous stared at Goku lamely, then slapped herself on the forehead, " NO I'M NOT AND YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT
BY THAT! "
" I do? "
" YES! NOW BE QUIET! " she said, then walked over to Vegeta, " I know what this is, I see through your little GAME,
Ouji. You want me to look bad and then have Goku-san find out who I am and get upset with me so he'll decide to move in with
YOU forever. " she stomped up next to him only to have Vegeta's arm suddenly shoot out and grab her by the ankle. Vegeta
lept to his feet and held Anonymous over the edge of the ring, " EEP! "
" Heh-heh, it'd be a shame if you were to end your winning streak with a simple out-of-bounds, huh Onna? " the little
ouji lightly swung Anonymous back and forth between the ring and the outside of it.
" YOU LET...GO! " she kicked her other foot up and hit Vegeta in the face, causing him to drop her. Anonymous yelped
as she fell, then caught herself before she touched the ground, " ▫Whew▫! " she landed back in the ring, " Evil little.. "
she mumbled, then struck a familiar pose, " KA....MEH... "
" Oh this should be good. " Vegeta clasped his hands together.
" HA....MEH.... "
" Veggie? " Goku looked on, worried.
" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! " Anonymous let a huge kamehameha rip towards Vegeta. Vegeta powered up to normal and lightly
flicked the attack back at Anonymous, who barely dodged it, her attack hitting her in the shoulder on its way out into sky,
" Fine! You wanna be like that. KAIO-KEN TIMES 10!!! " the red aura that was already fairly large around her erupted. She
flew straight at the little ouji and landed a punch to his jaw, then partially flipped and kicked him up into the air, " HA
HA HA HA HA! " she sent dozens of ki balls at him; Vegeta swaying his body to avoid each one as he was projectiled into the
air.
" Heh-heh-heh. " the ouji grinned evilly, then prepared to fire his own blast back at her only to receive a blow to
the back of the head. He whipped around to see Anonymous hovering behind him. She threw a punch only to have Vegeta block it
with one hand and grab her arm with the other, putting the arm into a lock.
" Err...HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!! " Anonymous landed kick after kick Vegeta while she tried to pull free. She growled
in frustration, then looked up at him, " You're...strong? "
" You just noticed that now? " Vegeta sweatdropped.
" NO! I KNEW YOU WERE STRONG! Just not like this. " Anonymous grudgingly put her hand on her hip.
" Why thank you. " he said boastfully.
" That wasn't a compliment. "
" HOOO! " Vegeta let go of her arm, then flew directly downward towards the ground.
" AAAAAAAAAA! " Anonymous followed. She struck her arm out and thrust it down just as Vegeta jumped out of the way.
" OUT OF BOUNDS! " a voice called from several feet away.
" Wha--WHAT?! " Anonymous blinked, confused, then looked down to see her fist was indeed planted in the dirt just
a few inches away from the ring. Vegeta sat on the edge with a content little smile on his face, " Ah...ah... " she stared at
him in shock.
Vegeta took a deep breath, " ▫FWOOOOOOOO▫ " he blew at her with just enough force to knock Anonymous onto her
stomach.
" Anonymous is out of bounds, Vegeta wins! " the announcer walked up to him.
" My sentiments exactly. " the ouji clasped his hands together.
" Ah..haha, hahaha. " Anonymous laughed in shock, then shook her head clear. She stood up determindly, then whipped
her head-gear off and slapped Vegeta across the face with it.
" ARG! " the ouji rubbed his cheek.
" Stupid evil little Ouji. " Chi-Chi grumbled as she stormed back into the main building.
Goku stared at her, confused and in shock, " CHI-CHAN?! "
" Yes? " she said flatly.
" YOU are.....but that would mean Veggie was fighting....Chi-chan what were you thinking fighting Veggie Veggie's
super-powerful and dangerous in battle! " Goku gasped, still trying to get his mind back together.
" No kidding. " Chi-Chi looked over her shoulder at him, " I wanted to beat him at his own game and he tricked me
anyway! Manipulative little... "
" At least you beat Kuririn. And all the other finalists. " Goku piped up.
" True...I do have that. AND I did get farther than I did in the last Budoukai I entered. " she admitted.
" Congradulations Vegeta. " the announcer shook the little ouji's hand as Vegeta made his way out of the ring, " That
wraps up the Semi Finals everybody. Be prepared, for in 30 minutes the final battle for the title of 27th Tenkaichi Budoukai
Champion will commence: Son Goku VS Vegeta Oujisama! See you in a half hour! "

" Somehow I had a feeling it would come down to this. " Kuririn sighed as he and the rest of the former finalists
sat around one of the waiting rooms.
" I didn't. " Chi-Chi muttered.
" Come on, did you really think you could beat Vegeta in physical combat? " Juuhachigou lifted an eyebrow.
" Well, I know I'm not strong enough to just walk over to the Ouji and beat him up, but I thought I would at least
be able to trick him into going out of bounds or knock him out somehow. " Chi-Chi retorted.
" Which is not so easily done unless you can mentally over-power him somehow. " Juuhachigou pointed to her own head.
" I also wanted to win some money, but that's besides the point. " Chi-Chi sat back on the couch, " But if Goku-san
wins the tournament I won't even have to worry about it! " she smiled.
" Are you sure you are oh-kay, Chi-chan? " a little voice said from behind her. Chi-Chi looked over her shoulder to
see Goku peering up over the back of the couch at her.
" Aww, of course I am, Goku-san. How thoughtful of you to worry about me! " Chi-Chi clasped her hands together, " I
may have a couple bruises but I'm alright. "
" That's good! " Goku nodded, " Cuz Veggie can be very over-powering when fought. "
" Can he. " she said dryly, then was about to turn around when she noticed something small, blue, and fuzzy latched
onto Goku's back.
" Hello. "
" GAH! " Chi-Chi nearly fell over, then quickly regained her ground, " WHAT is the Ouji doing on your BACK! " she
exclaimed.
" Resting. " Vegeta replied while Goku nodded contently, " It's SO nice and warm ontop of Kakay, you know. " he
teased while snuggling closer. The larger saiyajin's cheeks flushed lightly.
" Parasite. " Chi-Chi muttered as she turned back around and folded her arms, " I hope Goku-san forces you into
submission out there!! " she shook her fist angrily at Vegeta.
The entire room was silent. Vegeta's face glew bright red and Goku blinked.
Chi-Chi sighed, " PLATONIC submission. I hope he DEFEATS you and WINS the match! " she spelled it out for him.
" OHHHHHHHHh.... " the group said, enlightened, then went back to the several conversations they were having.
" Honestly. " Chi-Chi shook her head.
" Heh-heh, you had me worried there for a second, Onna. " Vegeta chuckled, then snuggled in closer against the larger
saiyajin's back, " Mmmm, so warm—— " he taunted.
" NNNnn...THAT'S IT! " Chi-Chi snapped, then lept over the couch and at Vegeta, " YAAAAAAAH!! "
Vegeta hopped off of Goku's back just as Chi-Chi hit, knocking both her and Goku to the ground.
" Oop! Chi-chan! " Goku sweatdropped, then let out another mild yelp as Chi-Chi bounced off of him and ran down the
hall after Vegeta.
" BWAHAHAHAHAHA! " the ouji laughed in the distance.
" I have a feeling THIS is going to be a long 30 minutes. " Mirai groaned.

" Wow. Goku VS Vegeta. This is going to be interesting. " Bulma nodded.
" Especially when you're only one scene away and still haven't decided on a winner. "
Bulma looked over at the girl sitting several seats away.
" Hi! " she grinned and waved.
Bulma and Yamcha sweatdropped.
" You know as strange as it sounds, I've never actually seen them fight each other. "
" What? " Yamcha looked surprised.
" Well, I did see parts of their very first battle, but I haven't seen any of their fights against each other since."
" But don't they spar all the time? "
Bulma chuckled, " Yeah, but they usually spar at Goku's or some other location. When they were sparring in the
gravity room these past several days they were moving so fast I couldn't see anything. " she explained.
" In that case, I hope they don't do that this time or all we'll see is the beginning and end of the battle. " Yamcha
said.
" I doubt that. They would only be moving that fast if they were in ssj2. I watched the Cell games, I can follow
their movements up to ssj1; and even in that form its a little difficult. "
" Haha, if it makes you feel any better, I can barely track ssj2 at all. " Yamcha laughed nervously.
" If they do go ssj2, you'll tell me what's going on then? "
" Sure! I'll tell you as much as I can see! " Yamcha gave her a thumbs-up.
" Toussan's so going to win. " Trunks smirked.
" Nuh-huh! My Toussan'll win. " Goten chirped.
" Go Toussan AND Kakarroujo! " Bura cheered, waving her plushies in the air.
The Announcer made his way back out into the ring, " Well everyone, we're finally here. The FINAL BATTLE OF THE 27TH
TENKAICHI BUDOUKAI! "
The audiance roared.
" As those of you who have seen the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd Budoukai Finals, you know how intense our Final Battles can
become. And I'm sure with the two finalists we have this year that it'll be no different from those previous three. PLEASE
WELCOME SON GOKU AND VEGETA OUJISAMA! " he motioned to the main building.
Goku and Vegeta proudly walked out of the building.
" Wow.... " Goku said in awe. He whipped around to the ouji and grinned, " OH VEGGIE I'M SO EXCITED! " he gushed.
" Uh? " Vegeta's cheeks flushed red.
" I haven't been to the Budoukai finals in so many years....I used to look forward to it all the time as a chibi...
THIS IS GONNA BE SO GREAT! " he pumped his arms in the air. He glomped the ouji, " THANK YOU VEGGIE!! " Goku let go and ran
up onto the ring. Vegeta shook off the redness and jogged up the ring after him.
" Son Goku, I can't begin to express how happy I am to see you back here in the Budoukai Finals, " the announcer
said, then moved his mic away for a second, " instead of Hercule, " he then moved it back while Goku giggled, " You never
cease to amaze and surprise us! "
" Heehee—— " Goku beamed.
" And your opponent, Vegeta Oujisama here, is a formidable fighter as well. "
" Why thank you. " the ouji said smugly.
" As some of you may remember, Mr. Oujisama is one of the two space aliens who landed on Earth just a few years
after the 24th Tenkaichi Budoukai. It took not only Son Goku, but several of his friends to defeat Mr. Oujisama in battle. "
The audiance oohed and ahhed.
" And now, before your very eyes, we'll get to see these two powerful fighters battle it out for the title of The
27th Tenkaichi Budoukai Champion! "
The drummers began to drum as the announcer made his way out of the ring.
" ▫BUM▫BA▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BA▫BUM!▫ " the drums played while Goku and Vegeta got into position.
" I'm so happy, Veggie. " the larger saiyajin smiled warmly at him, tears of joy in his eyes, " I feel so at home
here. I luv this place. "
" Th..that's nice. " Vegeta felt his face start to flush again, " However, that doesn't mean you'll win. " he smirked
and assumed a defensive position.
" I luv u too, Veggie. "
This time the ouji's whole face turned red, " STOP TRYING TO THROW ME OFF WITH YOUR SENTIMENTAL MUSH-FILLED
OVER-EMOTIONAL KAKA-MOMENTS!! " he exclaimed, frustrated.
" Oh-kay Veggie! " Goku chirped, this time back to normal.
" READY! " the announcer said.
Goku got into a defensive position as well, " Goodluck, little Veggie. "
" You should be wishing such things onto yourself, Kakarrotto. "
" GO!!! "
" HAAAAAAAAAAAAA! "
" HAAAAAAAAAAAAA! " Goku and Vegeta flew at each other, then disappeared to all those but the people who's eyes were
trained to see the unusually fast movements. To the few who could see, the barrage of punches and kicks exchanged between
the two were incredible.
Vegeta stopped punching and suddenly grabbed Goku by the arms. Goku yanked his arms free and the ouji sent a kick
to his stomach, causing Goku to plummet downward. The larger saiyajin noticed he was falling much faster than normal. He
powered up just as he hit the center of the ring. Two small ki-blasts flew at Goku's legs and he quickly dodged them. Vegeta
teleported just above the larger saiyajin and plopped down onto his stomach. He leaned forward and formed a small ki-ring.
Goku's eyes widened as he tried to move his arms only to realize that's what had quickened his plummet. The little ouji
tossed the third ki-ring at Goku's neck, while, unbeknownst to Vegeta, Goku was desperately trying to kick his boots off. The
larger saiyajin's tail grabbed his right boot and yanked it off his foot, then headed for the left one.
" Heh-heh-heh.. " Vegeta snickered, then glanced over at the main building where Chi-Chi stood in the doorway, a
little doom cloud hovering over her head while her bottom left eyelid twitched in horror. She suddenly paused as she saw
Goku's now-bare feet make a stance she had only seen before in the 23rd Budoukai. Chi-Chi instantly lit up. She blew a
raspberry at Vegeta, who cocked his head, confused. A light suddenly exploded behind him and Goku's feet-kamehameha hit the
ouji's back head-on, knocking him back up into the sky. Goku went ssj and in doing so broke the ki rings on his wrists and
neck. He lept back up, then bounced off his feet towards Vegeta where he performed a round-house kick on the ouji. Vegeta
spiraled to the left, then teleported himself back behind Goku where he kneed him in the side. Goku swung his arm around as
he turned and hit Vegeta across the side of the head. Vegeta grabbed Goku's upper arm and went ssj. He swung Goku around over
his head, then tossed him up into the sky.
" BIG BANG ATTACK!!! " the ouji cried out and let the huge blue blast loose at Goku, who gasped and managed to knock
most of the attack away, getting hit with only a 1/4th of it.
The two saiyajin smirked at each other.
" They're enjoying this, aren't they. " Turles chuckled to Bulma, who sweatdropped.
Goku teleported nearby Vegeta and they both landed in the middle of the ring. They both stayed silent for a moment,
then Vegeta flew at Goku with a punch only to have Goku grab Vegeta's shoulders and knee him in the chin. Vegeta growled and
took ahold of Goku's lower leg, then pushed forward only to have Goku tumble a second time and slam Vegeta's back into the
ring floor. The smaller saiyajin shifted uneasily. Goku went ssj2 and pushed Vegeta harder into the ring. He held one hand
on the ouji's chest, then formed a ball of ki in the other.
" HAAAA! " Goku blasted Vegeta's side, the size of the blast allowing him to launch himself upward. Vegeta bounced
to his feet to see Goku's tail glowing. He cocked an eyebrow, then dodged a fairly large blast that had come out of it.
" You gotta be kidding me?! " Vegeta gawked.
Goku's tail let loose a dozen or so blasts at Vegeta, moving around in all different directions and causing Vegeta to
just barely dodge them.
The ouji narrowed his eyes, then grabbed his own tail and aimed it at the hovering ssj2. Vegeta burst into that level
and fired a huge blast from his tail, then controled its movements using said appendage. Goku out-flew the blast only to have
Vegeta suddenly teleport behind him and the ki ball to freeze in mid-air. The ouji grabbed Goku from behind and flew downward
towards the outside of the ring. Goku let out a gasp only to have Vegeta stop just inches above the floor.
" Don't worry. I don't plan to end this battle just yet, Kakarrotto. I believe you're looking forward to a more
climactic ending anyway. " Vegeta bragged.
Goku burst into ssj3, then knocked Vegeta away with his left arm and spun around to grab the ouji by the right arm
with his own right hand. Vegeta gasped, then turned to smack Goku only to spin around due to the loose grip Goku had on him.
Vegeta shook his head dizzily. He glared and swung himself towards Goku only to have Goku suddenly let go of his arm and
glomp the little ouji instead.
" Mmmm... " the larger saiyajin murmured.
" ..▫twitch▫...▫twitch▫twitch▫... " Vegeta felt his entire body starting to numb from the close physical contact.
" Aww Veggie—— " Goku picked the little ouji up in his arms, then walked to the edge of the ring.
" AHHH! VEGETA! " Bulma called out.
" TOUSSAN! " Trunks shouted.
Goku dropped Vegeta only to have the ouji catch himself halfway towards the ground. Goku blinked at the still
glowing-bright-red ouji.
Vegeta looked over at him, his brain still half-clouded, " For shame Kakarrotto...using your germs against me. " he
smirked.
" Heehee— " Goku grinned in spite of himself only to have Vegeta shoot a blast at his face. Goku sweatdropped, then
coughed on some of the dirt that had come up with the blast.
Vegeta appeared above him, then clasped his hands together in a fist and dramatically swung at the back of Goku's
head, " HAAAAAAA! "
" ▫SMACK▫! "
Vegeta landed on the ground behind Goku.
" ... " Goku stood there, confused. He looked over his shoulder and cocked an eyebrow at Vegeta.
" Hn...I suppose that move doesn't work with you in ssj3 form, does it? " Vegeta observed.
" Haha, I do not think so. " Goku laughed.
" Well then, what about THIS! " Vegeta quickly snapped his arms forward and grabbed Goku by the tail.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! " Goku wailed, partially falling forward.
" GOKU-SAN! " Chi-Chi gasped in fright.
" Ohhh.....Ohhhh...OHHHHHHHHHHH... " Goku groaned in pain, trying to keep himself standing and in ssj3.
Vegeta's cheeks flushed, " Stop moaning like that it sounds too non-plato-- " Goku's tail thunked itself up against
the bottom of the ouji's nose and brushed up against it slightly. Vegeta froze in place, the tail seemingly teasing him as
it continued to sway back and forth; the threat of it spraying hundreds of little kaka-germs into his body through the nose
being Vegeta's major fear in this sitaution.
The ouji slowly let go of Goku's tail, then backed up. Goku's panting stopped almost-instantly once his tail was
freed and he stood up straight.
Vegeta frowned, ::What am I going to do:: he looked around the arena. So many people cheering them on. He saw a few
newly-made signs for himself, but there were people who had come to the Budoukai with Goku-related t-shirts and signs. And
not a single visible Hercule fan in the crowd. Vegeta smirked at that, ::If we're lucky this tournament should cause them to
forget about that bumbling idiot. At least for a while. Kakarrotto's the one who deserves their praise:: " I can't help it if
I happen to defeat him though, can I? " Vegeta shrugged boastfully, then watched Goku dusting himself off. The ssj3 looked
over at Vegeta, determination all over his face and practically radiating within his ssj aura, surprising Vegeta.
" Veggie... "
Vegeta looked up at him.
" I am sorry Veggie, but I want to win. " Goku nodded, then went compact oozaru; pink fur burst out of parts of his
gi as he did so.
" Compact oozaru? Kakarrotto I'd think you'd have better luck winning in ssj3. " Vegeta said, weighing the prospects
of going ssj3 himself.
" It's not as super-powered as ssj3, but it sure sharpens my instincts and speed, little Veggie. " Goku smiled, his
tail whipping around, much more alert than before.
" And you think that's really going to help you win? " the ouji smirked.
" Well we will just have to find out, won't we! " Goku chirped, then ran at him. He swung his arm at Vegeta only to
have the ouji flip over, bounce off Goku's arm, and land behind him.
" Haaaaa.. " Vegeta started to power up towards ssj3, then saw Goku swing at him again and dodged it, " You're not
going to let me power up, are you? " he twitched, annoyed.
" Prrrrrrrrrr.... " the larger saiyajin let out a low noise as he closely watched Vegeta.
" Umm, you know what? Maybe your instincts aren't so effective when--ah, sharpened, Kakarrotto. You should drop back
to ssj3, or ssj2, or you know, ssj2 1/2? "
" Prrrrrr.... "
Vegeta twitched, ::A-cursed ssj4--aka compact oozaru form! Yes it heightens the instincts but you have to practice it
more than enough to be able to control yourself or it'll make you unpredictable. I KNOW Kakarrotto and I didn't practice in
compact oozaru form, so why would he use it unless...unless he feels threatened!:: An evil grin appeared on Vegeta's face,
::I've actually managed to intimidate Kakarrotto enough in battle to force him to go ssj4 in order for him to regain an
advantage? What deliciously ego-boosting information that is:: he rubbed his hands together menacingly, then felt the back of
his shirt getting tight. Vegeta blinked as he came back to reality and glanced up to see Goku holding onto said part of his
shirt, " Ah.... "
" ▫sniff▫sniff▫sniff▫sniff▫ " Goku started to sniff him.
Vegeta shifted around, uncomfortable, " Umm, Kakarrotto? Why are you smelling me? "
Goku tilted his head, then smirked in an almost Veggiesque way and tossed Vegeta into the air. He hovered upward
himself a few feet, then spread his arms out, " HAAAAAAAAAA! " he let loose a massive kiai, flattening the entire ring and
then blowing the chunks of it all over the arena floor.
Vegeta came falling down and gawked to see the ring no longer there. He noticed one of the pieces of it and landed
one foot down, having to keep the other stationary in the air due to the small size of the piece.
Goku had landed on a slightly bigger part of the ring.
" Haha...that's ah, creative, Kakarrotto. "
" Veggie... " Goku trailed off.
" Huh? "
" HAAAAAAAA! " Goku let loose a blast at him. Vegeta quickly jumped to another chunk of the ring. Goku started
bouncing from one chunk to the next until he lept from a chunk that was nearby Vegeta to Vegeta. The ssj4 crashed into the
ouji. Vegeta kicked him off and whipped around, then put his hands together, " GARRIKU HO!!! " he let loose the blast of pink
ki, hitting Goku and sending him flying out towards the audiance.
Goku gasped and stopped himself just before hitting someone's seat--which, had he hit, would've given him a ring-out.
" I see it heightens your speed after all, Kakarrotto. " Vegeta commented, snickering.
Goku looked over his shoulder and growled at Vegeta, then blasted back towards him. Vegeta jumped up into the air,
causing Goku to make a swift u-turn up at him. Goku landed half a dozen punches, all of which Vegeta easily blocked until
Goku's foot came careening up and knocked him in the back. Vegeta flipped over and smacked Goku on the side of the head, then
slowly powered up to ssj3 while Goku shook his head to clear it.
Vegeta struck his arms and legs out, " FINAL....FLASH!!! " he let loose the blindingly bright yellow ki attack.
Goku gasped, then narrowed his eyes and grabbed ahold of it. Vegeta started to push the attack forward while Goku
started to do the exact opposite.
The entire audiance along with the announcer and finalists looked upward at the struggle between the two saiyajins.
" Haaaaa... "
" Haaaaa... " Both Goku and Vegeta powered up at the same time, unaware the other was doing so due to being unable to
see anything past Vegeta's attack.
" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! "
" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! " they both hit full power at the exact same moment, the force on the final flash causing
it to explode, knocking both opponents half-unconscious and causing them to spiral down toward the tournament floor. Goku and
Vegeta hit the ground in unison, their bodies throbbing with pain as they fell back into their normal forms.
" ... " the entire arena was silent, in suspense of who had won.
Chi-Chi elbowed the announcer, " WELL?! Get out there! " she pushed him.
" Uh, yeah, right. " he stammered, still in shock. The announcer adjusted his sunglasses and walked up to where Goku
and Vegeta lay, dizzy and half-conscious, " Hmm.. " he looked around, then noticed the indent that had been the edge of the
ring. Announcer stuck the bottom end of his microphone into the edge and started walking backwards while holding the top. He
kept moving until his microphone hit something. Announcer looked down to see what his mic had hit was Vegeta's pinky-finger,
the sole part of the ouji that was outside the ring.
The audiance gasped.
Budoukai Announcer hopped over Vegeta, then poked his microphone into the next edge and walked backwards towards
Goku. The crowd became hushed again as the Announcer neared Goku. His microphone went successfully past Goku's bare foot
without touching it. He smiled quietly, " I think we have our winner. " the announcer pulled his microphone out of the edge
of the ring, then picked Goku up by the arm, " VEGETA IS OUT OF BOUNDS! SON GOKU WINS!! "
The crowd erupted in an uproar of cheers.
Chi-Chi practically squealed and ran out onto the ring, " GOKU-SAN YOU DID IT! " she glomped him.
" Wah..wah? " Goku looked around, dizzy.
" YOU WON! " Chi-Chi grinned, " You beat the Ouji and won the tournament! YOU WON, GOKU-SA! " she gushed.
" I..did? " Goku said, surprised.
" Mmm-hmm! "
" YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! " he shouted in excitement, " I WIN! " Goku laughed, then wobbled back from the physical pain
and nearly fainted.
" ACK! Goku-san! " Chi-Chi shook him, " Quick! Somebody get a senzu bean! "
Goku smiled as he vaguely heard the last few words before passing out.
" Wahhh... " Vegeta lay several feet away, dizzy-swirls for eyes.

And so it was that the 27th Tenkaichi Budoukai came to an end. Goku had won the title, and the 500,000 zeni, but
Vegeta had come away with 300,000 zeni for 2nd place, along with a medal, so he hadn't done too bad either. Of course, being
the proud little ouji he was, he insisted that he had "let" Goku win, out of "sportsmanship, you know".
After the two saiyajins had been given senzu beans and recovered, the group had headed to the resturant they had
visited after the 21st and 22nd Budoukai's. Bulma insisted Goku keep his money for something he really wanted, and paid for
the group's dinner instead. Goku and Vegeta had no hard feelings about the battle, and the two even sat next to one another,
the ouji sitting between him and Chi-Chi, much to her frustration.

Two full weeks had passed and Turles arm was finally healed, meaning...
" Aww, do you really have to leave so soon? " Goku pouted as he, Vegeta, the fusions, Raditsu, and Bulma's family
watched Turles carry box after box of his "stuff into his spaceship.
Turles moved his left arm around freely, " You would rather I stay here? HA I say! Staying around you would cause my
evil-ness to erode and become mushy; thus I must continue my journey through space and wreak havoc and destruction upon all
those who would oppose me! " he pointed determindly off into the sky.
" And those people would be... " Raditsu trailed off.
" ...I don't know yet. " Turles said, still with determination in his voice.
Raditsu sweatdropped.
" But I WILL, and once I do, woe unto my yet-to-be enemies, for my wrath will come swiftly, and with haste! "
" That's a double-negative-- "
" --silence! " Turles clasped a hand over Raditsu's mouth while holding a box with the other, " Outer space is
calling for me, beckoning like a summoning signal in the night. " he let go.
" But-- "
" SHH! " Vegeta slapped his hand over Raditsu's mouth this time. The larger saiyajin twitched, " Let him go. He's
an evil and twisted Kakarrotto who can see past my formidable facade which Kakarrotto himself cannot. That and he taunts our
OBVIOUSLY-PLATONIC relationship every chance he gets! " the ouji shook his fist, a vein bulging on his forehead. He
instantly calmed down, " Got it? "
" Uh...alright. " Raditsu shrugged.
" GOODBYE, TURLES! FAREWELL! " Vegeta gushed, motioning Turles into the ship, " ENJOY YOUR VOYAGE INTO THE WONDERS
OF SPACE! " the ouji waved a hankerchief in the air, " ALOHA! SAYONORA! ADIOS AND OTHER WORDS SIGNALLING ONE'S DEPARTURE! "
Turles sweatdropped, " ...you WANT me to leave, don't you Vegeta-san. " his smile quirked upward into a smirk.
" Ah.... " Vegeta froze in place.
" And by my flawless, yet slightly dementured logic, me leaving would make you happy. Thus by leaving I would be
doing something "good". But I'm evil, so me doing something good would be similar to Kakarrotto--who IS good--doing
something evil. Me leaving would defeat my own set purpose...hmm. " Turles pondered on this.
" And...that would mean...you're leaving? " Vegeta said nervously with a cheesy smile.
Turles cheesily smiled back at him, then picked up several boxes out of his ship and walked back down the stairs.
" GAH!! WHY ARE YOU GOING THIS WAY! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GOING THAT WAY! "
" Do you WANT me to go "that way", Vegeta-san? " Turles asked.
" YES! "
" In that case, no. "
" WAHHHH——! " Vegeta fell over, then nearly had a heart-attack when he saw the larger saiyajin heading back into
Capsule Corp, " NO NO NO NO NO! " he thumped his head on the ground, then lept to his feet and zipped over to Bulma, " BULMA!
BULMA GIVE HIM A CAPSULE HOUSE! ONE LIKE RADITSU'S!! "
" Do you WANT me to go live in a capsule-house, Vegeta-san? " Turles poked his head out of the front-door of
Capsule Corp.
" YE--ah, NO! No... "
" HA! You lie. I'll be moving back into my old room shortly! " the larger saiyajin chirped, then closed the door
behind him.
" CURSE HIM! " Vegeta shook his fist.
" Aw, don't worry Veggie, I bet Turles is really a nice saiyajin, deep inside. " Goku chimed in.
" You think EVERYONE is "nice" deep inside. " the ouji grumbled.
" Well, not EVERYONE... " Goku trailed off, " The big meanie wasn't nice, he was evil inside and out! " he nodded
stubbornly.
" Uh-huh. " Vegeta sweatdropped, then turned to Bulma, " You don't think he's going to stay for LONG, do you? "
" Just until you start to enjoy my company! Then I will whisk myself away into the night and leave without a word;
breaking your hearts! " Turles said cheerfully, poking his head out of the living room window. He pulled his head back
inside.
" That could take a while... " the ouji sighed.
" Its oh-kay. I'm sure there's some way we could get Turles to leave soon...or later....either way, we'll figure it
out. " Bulma patted Vegeta on the shoulders, " Now let's go help him unpack. The sooner he gets back into his room the sooner
he'll get bored and want to leave again. "
" You really think so? " Vegeta lit up.
" ....well, maybe? "
" Alright then. " Vegeta picked up a box, " Come on, "Champ". " he smirked over at Goku, who flushed lightly at the
title.
" Heehee— aw Veggie! " Goku laughed, then used the championship belt to help him hoist several boxes up onto his back
and followed Vegeta back towards the house, " I had a great time at the Budoukai this year, Veggie. You're--you're not mad
at me, for winning, are you? " he said, worried.
The ouji paused in mid step. He looked over his shoulder at Goku, " I could never be mad at you, Kakarrotto. " he
smiled.
" Really? " the larger saiyajin sniffled.
" Really. " Vegeta nodded, " Besides, there was no way of telling exactly where we would land when we fell anyway. "
he glanced down at his right pinky finger for a moment, " Now come on and help me get this stuff put back. I found an
amazing sparring spot two days ago I would luv to show you. "

THE END!
Chuquita: FINALLY! (flops back in her chair) (to audiance) I have to apologize for the 2nd chapter in a row; I'm sorry its
out later than usual. This chapter's lateness I attribute more to job-related things than school-related.
Vegeta: (points to Chu) She worked 6 hour shifts Saturday AND Sunday.
Chuquita: (laughs nervously) It was crazy alright, AND I have to work tommorow (tuesday) 5:15pm to 9:00pm. BUT I'm off from
work the rest of the week til Saturday! (nods)
Vegeta: And then of course there's school...
Chuquita: (sighs) Hai, that's a pain as well... (to audiance) Btw, the cameo was telling the truth; I really didn't know who
was going to win til the very end. The entire ending came to me early Sunday morning before I went to work.
Goku: (chirps) At least its finished!
Chuquita: That it is! I have to say I've never written 5 battles from scratch one after the other like that before. It takes
more mental-power than dialogue cuz you have to do a LOT of visualizing when writing battles.
Vegeta: So? Did Kakarrotto REALLY win or did I LET him win?
Chuquita: That may or may not be known at a future time. I did try to keep the battle as even as possible though. It's like
when Vejitto and Gogeta fought in "Time-Skip"; its very hard to choose who would in in a fight.
Vegeta: (smirks) I enjoyed taunting Onna in this one though.
Chuquita: And now to get to the reviewer-replies! Let's get this chapter done and ready before midnight! Right guys?
Goku: (determined) Right!
To PiccoloDiamao1020: Thanks so much! I will EVENTUALLY get to a parody of the Evil Shenlong Saga...but I've only done a
Black-Star Dragon Balls parody so far, so I have to get Bebi and Super 17 done first. About the two Gogetas...the one
fighting Ii Shenlong will be Goku and Veggie fused (no third mental personality), but Gogeta himself along with Vejitto will
help them out.
To Angel Hunter: Glad you liked it. Heh, I was going crazy with being unable to get the time to finish part 5 on-time. Don't
worry, only 8 more fics til #100. (this is #92). Veggie shared the same bedroom with Goku for 4 days previous to that, he
didn't want to get any closer than he had to, which is why he choped the bed in half :) Thanks!
To Cathowl: Heehee, yes he is! :) I've rarely seen Trunks with a tail. Ooh, blue tail with stripes! Sounds cool! Glad you
like Turles. He's gonna be staying around for a while. Cookies :) Wow! An "A" on a calculus test! Impressive! I've never had
calculus before; only those in my high-school who were unbelievably good at math got to take it. Heh, exactly. Veggie doesn't
mind chopping the bed in half as long as he gets to sleep alone. Heehee, chibi Veggie running away from earth-worms. I
wonder what caused Veggie to be afraid of them? Goggie's "confetti" attack was so unexpected the first time I saw it :)
Yup. Either of them could've won, it was a very tight battle. Thank u! The computer has been fixed and I'm very happy to
report its doing well! I'm a day late, but that's oh-kay. Next fic; which is a one-shot, I will try to have out on-time. :D
To Goddess Shimi: Yup! Heh-heh, background music :D Well, at least you have another week of summer left. I went back to
school last week. :( Lol, I remember that scene. Ah, I haven't seen the Ginyu saga in so long...that was back when Veggie
was still partially evil. I agree with you, Veggie with a "moo-stache" is so very wrong. ▫shakes her head▫. I didn't like his
haircut either, but at least Bura convinced him to get rid of the facial hair. If only she could've convinced him to grow his
hair back into normal Veggie-shape as well... One day I'll get an dbz-episodes dvd. All I have right now is some of movies.
Huh. You know I've heard of but I've never been there before. LOL at the picture. Goku doesn't even wait
for Veggie to finish making breakfast he's in such a hurry. Is Veggie wearing shorts in that picture? ▫squints▫
Goku: I think he is!
Chuquita: Yup, they're shorts.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops, embarassed) ...
To Nuki: It's Gogetto! :D Hee— that happens in this chapter! Vejitto and Gogeta did fight in "Time-Skip" but it came out in a
tie. I can't wait til Budoukai 3 comes out so I can see them fight each other in 3-D! Sorry 'bout the week-long wait. Blame
the job and school starting up again with an extra-class than last semester. (I usually have 4, this time I have 5).
To RyukoVulpix: Thanks so much! That you can't! Type-3 saiyajin are very powerful. Hai, poor Mirai. At least he tried. That
was a fun picture to draw! Especially since I got to use the windiness with Goku and Veggie's hair. I wouldn't mind a big
bed, as long as it was in a big room. Big beds take up way too much space in small rooms--you'd fall off the bed while
sleeping and fall right out of the room, had the door been open '.';; I have different sources that give Veggie's height as
4'10 while others say 5'2. I'm going with 5'2 for Veggie though. I'm 5'4. Oh yeah! "King Me!". Veggie's royal, official
"saiyajin no ouji" bed on Bejito-sei is HUGE. You've written all 3 too? Cool! :) I just got back into Sonic recently. I luv
3 of the new artists the comic's gotten; and all 3 I recognize from websites a while ago. I have a couple fics on my own
list of future-fics which have been there quite a while. "VegChi on the road" comes to mind, which has been on the list for a
good year or so; that's the one where Veggie and Chi-Chi journey through otherworld after being killed off by Buu to find
Goku. I'll eventually get to that one. Oh the finals were VERY hard to decide on. I didn't figure it out until the actual
scene itself '.';; I was starting to think I should've done a poll until I figured it out. Thank you! I have been doing good
with my job so far, even though it sucks up so much of my time, at least I got a raise.
To Beronika: Yup! Trunks successfully tricked Goten on the color of his tail, at least until the color wears off and he has
to dye it brown again. Fusion-babies are VERY tricky to fight. At least Mirai tried. I figure as long as I can continue to
keep my fics being uploaded at their normal pace, I can deal with my job. They gave me a raise but I still dislike the long,
monotony of cashiering. I wish they gave us chairs too. Heehee, lucky for Veggie Goku doesn't know what a seme is.
Vegeta: (smirks) Hai, he'll never know what a seme OR uke is as long as I have something to do with it.
Goku: ?
To Tonketa-Ouiji: Aw, thanks so much! The fights are fun but they're so much work cuz you have to think of both fighter's
perspectives at the same time. Hee, yeah. Goggie likes to have fun when he battles. Veggie tricked Chi-Chi into going out of
bounds, so she slapped him with her head-gear. At least he won! :)
To ShiningMoon: Thank u! Glad you liked the remote-controls and the fusion's elevator. :D Hee— at least they got rid of the
worm! LOL! I wonder if Turles knows about Veggie's worm-fear...
To Beronika: Aw, it's oh-kay. Not you're fault.
To hakura0: Yup! That it is. I had a rare 2nd cameo in this one; adding to the wall-breaking. AOL can be frustrating, but it
turned out it wasn't part of the problem afterall, so for now we're staying with it. Glad you don't mind it. I'll try to keep
my updates to weekdays unless I'm late and decide to get it out on the weekend. It's oh-kay. This chapter is late as well.
Heh, Mirai didn't get very good luck in the Budoukai.
To mkh2: Thank you again for the quote! That was a fun episode. Yup, he is. I haven't thought up a name for Trunks's tail
yet, actually. You know I've heard that "Chibi" nickname before too. ▫nods▫. Seems to be a popular Goten nickname lately.
To orchideater: Hai. I asked for 12 again without mentioning 15, (but was vague) and ended up with 15 AGAIN. Tommorow when I
go into work I'm asking for ONLY 12 hours and I'll see how that turns out. Hai, well the Barnes 'n Noble won't be finished
being built til December, so I still have a way to go. At least he got to dye it. Poor Veggie, getting freaked out two times
in one chapter. The autographs were fun. Yup, Goku got to win. :) Veggie can be very nice when musing. :)
To Jenna & Vash: Sorry you had a bad weekend. I'll be done with my comic sometime this week. 10 hours! That's a VERY long
ride. Atlanta is also where CN's headquarters is! :) Cool! I'd like to see the picture once you get your scanner fixed! Ooh,
Hiei made a comic? I wish him goodluck with it! Hi Spot!
Chuquita: YES! We've finished the story!
Goku: HOORAY!
Vegeta: It's getting late though, school-night-wise. (holds up watch)
Chuquita: (frowns) Hai... (to audiance) You don't mind if I upload this chapter TOMMOROW, aka, Tuesday, after I come back
from school, do you? I have a several-hour-gap between school and work to upload this chapter and do my Wednesday-Classes
Homework. So sorry guys! I worked really hard today; did 3 days worth of writing to catch up to where I was, but I still
ran out of time. Forgive me for the late post! I'll see you sometime next week with the one-shot!
Goku: Byebye!
