AN1: Here is chapter four, of the semi finals. It's Gohan VS Emily and Goku VS Vegeta. What's going to happen. Read on to find out and please review. Thankyou!!!
Hidden in the crowds, Ox King, ChiChi, Bulma, Videl, Trunks and Goten sat, who were both eating half a dozen hotdogs each. ChiChi smiled as she spotted her husband approach them.
"You were great out there Goku." She said.
"Thanks ChiChi, it's me and Vegeta in the second round so I honestly don't know what to expect from him." He replied, Bulma smirked at this.
"Expect a big fight, he's been going over the top with his training for the last two months so that's what your gonna get." She said, Goku laughed.
"Right I'll keep that in mind. Hey everyone this is Emily, she defeated Krillen in her match and she's up against Gohan in the next match." He introduced, everyone's eyes went on the young teenager, who went red.
"Hello Emily, how did you get into fighting then?" ChiChi asked.
"My father taught it to me until he died when I was 18 months. Since then I just watch the fighting movies and I pick up most of my moves off them. My mother doesn't like me fighting much." She replied, ChiChi nodded.
"Too right, fighting isn't very ladylike." She said.
"Hey I'm starving, I'm heading over to the food stand, anyone wanna join me?" Goku asked looking around, Krillen nodded, so did Yamcha and Vegeta. Gohan also nodded.
"Don't let me have too much though, I don't want to be full for my match." He said.
"I'll have something to drink but I won't eat anything. Not until the match is over, I'm not as good at fighting when I'm full." Emily replied, Goku made his way over to the food stand and ordered a dozen hotdogs, Krillen ordered four, Yamcha ordered three, Gohan ordered five and Vegeta also ordered a dozen hotdogs. Emily stared at the huge pile everyone seemed to have and just bought herself a bottle of water.
"Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?" Gohan said with his mouth full, Emily smiled and shook her head.
"No thanks, I'll end up getting sick and I want to fight you." She replied.
"What changed your mind?" He asked, staring at her suspiciously.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"This morning, you were petrified of the idea of fighting, now you can't wait to fight?" He replied, she grinned at this.
"Oh yeah, I'm getting into it now. I came here looking for someone that I thought would enter the tournament, but he's not here and he's obviously not signed up. I like fighting, I just don't like hurting people that I can avoid hurting." She said. The break flew by and before they knew it, it was time for the semi finals. Everyone wished them luck as Gohan and Emily stepped into the ring and faced each other, getting into matching fighting stances.
"You ready?" Gohan asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be. Why is it I have a feeling I'm not gonna win this round?" She moaned, Gohan laughed at her.
"You beat Krillen, maybe you can beat me." He said.
"Doubt it." She muttered as they signalled for the match to begin. Emily and Gohan lunged at each other, both throwing a series of blows that Gohan had no problem blocking but Emily had a tough time dodging. Gohan fisted her in the face then she went sliding along the floor, slowly getting up, she wiped the blood away that was now pouring out of her nose and stared at him. He calmly walked up to her, frowning a bit.
"Why is it I know you can do better?" He asked, getting into a fighting stance again, she looked at him, panicking a bit as she wondered how to answer him.
"I. I don't want to hurt you." She stuttered.
"Give me your best shot, go on, I can take it." He assured her, she sighed as she mirrored his stance then they lunged at each other again. This time, Emily managed to throw a punch sending Gohan flying backwards, and nearly himself fell out the ring only to hover back on at the last minute, she stared at him.
"Are you alright? I told you I don't want to hurt you." She said, he slowly got up and went back over to the middle again.
"Hey, I take hits like that from Goten, trust me give me all you have. Don't hold back, I want to see what your really made of." He said smiling. Emily grinned as she lunged at him again, as he shot at her and they both threw blows at each other for another ten minutes. Gohan grabbed her foot as she aimed to kick him in the stomach and fisted her in the gut sending her flying out the ring. She tried to grab the side but her hand caught on something sharp and she quickly let go and hit the wall.
"Gohan is the winner." The announcer called as Gohan made his way over to her.
"Are you ok?" He asked, helping her up.
"Yeah, I would have stayed on but my hand got caught on something." She explained, glancing at her hand to see it covered in blood, and a large gash on her palm.
"Ouch, I'll see if my dad has another sensu bean." Gohan said, leading her over to the others, who were smiling at the two of them.
"Well done guy's, that was great." Goku said as they approached him.
"Thanks dad, have you got anymore beans? Emily's badly hurt her hand." Gohan said, nodding, Goku handed Emily another sensu bean and to her surprise, the gash completely vanished, she looked back up to him and grinned.
"Thanks Goku." She said.
"Anytime. Looks like I'm fighting Vegeta." He sighed, glancing at the other saiyan who was folding his arms and staring at them.
"Just concentrate on what he does dad and you'll be fine. Don't be afraid to go super cause if Trunks is gonna go super then he is too." Gohan said, Emily looked at him thoughtfully, maybe he knew the person she was looking for. She quickly pushed the thought out of her head, his name would have been on the entry board.
"Thanks Gohan, well this is it. You ready Vegeta?" Goku called.
"I'm ready to defeat you Kakarot." He grunted, Emily's eyes widened at this.
"What did you say?" She asked staring at him.
"Its just a stupid name he calls my father, don't worry about it." Gohan answered, glaring at Vegeta, who just stared at Emily, then Goku and Vegeta made their way out to the ring. They stood opposite each other and got into matching fighting stances.
"I don't like that girl you've teamed up with. There is something about her." Vegeta announced, Goku glanced at Emily then turned back to him.
"So you sense something strange from her too huh? I was hoping she'd reveal what she had when fighting Gohan, who is a lot more stronger than Krillen, but she's obviously uncomfortable with what she can do." He replied.
"I would have made her go to her maximum if she'd fought me." Vegeta snapped.
"You probably would have succeeded, she's powerful for a girl, but she was no match for Gohan. She even knew it when she was fighting him." Goku said as they announced the beginning of the fight. They both lunged at each other and for twenty minutes they were duelling so fast, everyone was having a lot of trouble keeping up with them. They broke apart after that, both of them breathing deeply, but smirking at the same time.
"You finished with the warm up?" Vegeta asked.
"Yeah, I think that'll do. You ready now for the main fight?" Goku replied.
"I'm ready to defeat you." Vegeta said.
"You wish Vegeta." Goku laughed as they both lunged at each other. Throwing more kicks and punches at each other, they were at it for another half an hour. Getting the occasional blows to the face, they both were dodging the others attacks. Goku did a spin kick, sending Vegeta along the floor of the arena. Stopping himself from falling off the edge of the floor, Vegeta quickly jumped up and flew at Goku this time going super saiyan. Knowing he was going to transform, Goku also went super saiyan too and they both lunged at each other. Firing several ki blasts at Goku, Vegeta floated up, circling his rival to avoid him using his trick to escape the laser attacks. Instead, Goku caught them all in one ball and sent them flying at Vegeta. He landed on the floor, but got up again growling as he wiped the blood away from his nose.
"That was some trick Kakarot." He spat, in the audience, Emily gasped, so he did say Kakarot. No, that means Goku is him. That's impossible, he looks nothing like the guy my father told me about. She thought, concentrating on the battle. Gohan glanced at the young teen then turned back to his father and Vegeta.
"Come on dad!" He yelled. Vegeta and Goku lunged at each again and went into lightning speed duelling once more. Goku grabbed Vegeta's foot and did another spin kick, but Vegeta, knew what he was up to, ducked Goku's leg and brought his other foot up to kick his rival off. It did hit Goku but before he could go flying out the ring, he instant translocated to behind Vegeta, causing his body to slam into the saiyan prince and sending him out the ring. The sun was appearing out of a cloud above the stadium and a sparkle caught Gohan's eye. Looking down, he saw something lodged in between two of the tile ends. Catching his look, Emily also looked down and noticed the same thing.
"Hey, that's a knife!" She cried, jumping down. Jumping down after her, Gohan quickly grabbed her arm and dragged her back.
"Are you crazy? My dad and Vegeta are fighting at their maximum speed, you could get hurt." He yelled, she struggled to get out his grip.
"Gohan, your dad or Vegeta could get hurt if they go flying out the ring and catch themselves on it the same as I did. I should have reported it to them, I didn't think for one second that it was a knife." She argued, he glared at her, then turned to see the knife.
"It must have belonged to that Ninjaman guy. I'll go and get it and hand it in, you stay here. I know their speeds a lot better than you so I can dodge them, if they decide to get closer to me." He announced letting go over her, sighing Emily made her way back to the stand whilst Gohan slipped up to the stage arena. Nobody was watching him as they were too engrossed in Goku and Vegeta's fight, so he carefully made his way to the knife and picked it up. He was wearing gloves so he knew his fingerprints weren't going to be on it then made his way over to one of the workers, who were watching the fight then noticed him.
"Are you alright sir?" One of the workers asked.
"Yeah, my friend and I spotted this by the arena flooring. She actually caught her hand on it when she fell out the ring but she's alright now. I think it belonged to that Ninjaman." Gohan said, handing the knife over, the worker smiled.
"That must be what he was going to use in the tournament. Thanks we'll hand this over to the police straight away." He said and disappeared behind the door. Carefully, Gohan made his way back over to the others, then looking down on the fight, he noticed Vegeta had somehow managed to get back into the ring again.
"He's stubborn isn't he?" He commented.
"Yeah, but he's still determined to beat Goku, so he's gonna do everything in his power to win." Krillen stated, keeping his gazed fixed on the two Saiyans.
"Wonder who'll win." Yamcha pondered.
"Well, to be honest, the odds are my dad. I mean Vegeta is pretty fast, but with him being so determined to beat dad, he's not concentrating fully and my dad is onto him. I can tell, and Vegeta's slowly exhausting himself of attacks." Gohan said.
"Told ya dad was gonna fight Vegeta." Goten piped up.
"Dad always ends up fighting him Goten, that's all the fun because most of the time they are both evenly match." Gohan replied smiling.
"Well if I wanna beat you next year, I better train a lot harder then." Emily laughed, keeping her eyes on the match.
"Are you keeping up with this?" Krillen asked her.
"Kind of, it's hard some of the times but I dunno how I keep up with them but I'm able too. Weird huh?" She replied shrugging her shoulders, everyone eyed her then turned back to the fight. Goku had grabbed Vegeta's fist as he almost struck his face, doing a spin kick, Vegeta grabbed his foot and punched him in the stomach. Instant translocating again, Goku made it so he slammed into Vegeta but this time, powering up his Kai o Ken attack, making him go three times as fast. The Saiyan prince didn't know what hit him, caught by surprise, he was temporarily stunned as he went sailing out the ring and hit the floor, claiming Goku as the winner. Goku made his way over to Vegeta and slipped him a sensu bean.
"You did great, maybe next year huh?" He said.
"Definitely next year." Vegeta huffed as he made his way over to the stands.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are going to have a twenty minute break to allow our two finalists to prepare for their fight. The remaining contestants are, ladies and gentlemen, father and Son its Goku and Gohan. We'll continue shortly." The announcer yelled disappearing.
"Good luck Gohan." Videl said.
"Thanks. I'm gonna need it against my dad." Gohan replied.
"What's with all the breaks?" Yamcha asked.
"Dunno, probably to let the audience get over the excitement of the fighting." 18 replied. Emily announced that she was finally starving and went to go get something to eat, throwing her a cold look Vegeta followed her, much to Bulma's surprise.
"He's not going to do anything to her is he?" She asked.
"No, don't worry. We've both sensed something from her, he's probably gonna find out what it is." Goku assured her, staring passed his old friend.
AN2: There you have it, chapter four over and done with. I was wondering how I was going to end this but finally worked out a sort of "to be continued". I'll have chapter five up as soon as I've typed it up so thanks again and please review.
