Chapter 08: Strength vs. Brains

The afternoon series were filled with a Super Saiyan, a Majin, a weirdo, two Namekians and three humans. Favorites for qualifying for the next round were Brolly, Buu and Piccolo. One match had to be a classic old fight and that was between Tien and Yamcha. But for starters the Namekian warrior Nail would take on the evil Super Saiyan Brolly.

Brolly turned up his power and went Hyper Super Saiyan. Nail didn't go out of control like his opponent although his aura was floating pretty aggressive too. Nail gave the first real blow by hitting Brolly from the side. This only fueled Brolly with more rage as he made two large energy balls in his both hands. The blasts were very powerful but Nail managed to dodge them. Being in Piccolo's body for so long had made him even a better fighter than before. He had studied some of his owner's techniques and also gained strength while being physically away. His mental abilities were almost superior to every fighter seen before because of those many years of meditation. Brolly didn't understand this and was blinded by his rage. In his case actually an advantage as his power only grew more. Nail tried to floor Brolly but he jumped and already tried to punch Nail. Nail could dodge it but almost lost his balance and it required every ounce of strength to hold it. While still dodging another punch of Brolly, Nail knelt a bit back and kicked Brolly right in the face. Brolly flew away and Nail rushed to give him the finishing blow. Just before he could hit Brolly, the Saiyan used after image and Nail only got air. Now the fighters started an impressive series of after images. Eventually Nail got Brolly for once and he used a mental trick to blow him out of the ring.

Now the cowardly Pilaf had to fight another Namekian, Piccolo. Pilaf wasn't really much of a challenge for the mighty Namekian from Earth. Piccolo tossed him aside like a common housefly and finished the job with a Special Beam Cannon.

The crowd got up when the two next warriors got into the ring. Both Tien and Yamcha could count on a lot of support from the crowd. Tien wore his all green outfit and Yamcha his orange gi. They both made a sincere bow to each other and wished each other luck. Both powered up and were surrounded by a red aura. They started throwing punches and kicks at each other, sometimes hitting but mostly dodged or blocked by the opponent. The fight proceeded the same way in the air. After a while both backed off and landed in the ring in front of each other. Yamcha tried to finish the job by using his famous Wolf Fang Fist but it was no good. Now Tien made his move and used multi form to surround Yamcha. They all four shot a Tri Beam at Yamcha who responded well.

"Kao Ken 20 times," as he deflected the Tri Beams.

Tien become whole again and started making a Dodompa blast. As soon as Yamcha noticed this he started making a Kamehameha. Both blasts collided and none of them could win at first but then ...

"Kao Ken 50 times," Yamcha put even more power to his Kamehameha.

"Kao Ken 70 times," Tien powered up even more.

"Oh no ... must win ... 100 times Kao Ken," Yamcha tried to win this.

"Aaaah .... double Super Kao Ken," Tien yelled.

Yamcha didn't had any strength left, so he thought but then he found a new power inside of him to also power up for a double Super Kao Ken. Both Tien and Yamcha pushed their bodies to new heights and then a big explosion followed. Tien was still in the ring but Yamcha lay beside it.

Now in this last fight no one gave Krillin a chance against Super Buu (who had absorbed Super Saiyan 4 Goku). Chibi Trunks was still earning money with his gambling business and his (real) father was the only one who put a bet on Krillin. The fight started and Buu couldn't take advantage out of his superior speed and power. It was Krillin who surprised him with four Destructo Discs that cut him in four pieces. Now Krillin fired a Kamehameha. When the smoke settled a piece of Buu was out of the ring so Krillin won.

"How did you know Krillin was gonna win dad?" Trunks asked.

"It's simple really. Krillin could anticipate all of Buu's moves because he knew this fighting technique. Buu was using Kakarot's technique and that's why he wasn't surprised by Buu's attacks. You should know power and speed aren't the only skills necessary to win a battle. You were just a witness of a real fighter out there."

"And this concludes today's fights. Let's have a closer look to the fights of round 3 at the left side of the table."

Goku vs. Gotenks Mirai no Trunks vs. Kid Buu

Nail vs. Tien Krillin vs. Piccolo

AN: I know the Yamcha/Tien fight was maybe a bit over it with those Kao Ken attacks but heck you gotta give some flavor to a fight. The Super Kao Ken isn't a move from Tien or Yamcha but from Goku (Kao Ken Super Saiyan). But I made a special one for humans. When they use the Kao Ken attack in combination with their super strength you get a Super Kao Ken as well (same type as Goku but less stronger I would say).
