First round 1
'Good luck Pan' said Uub as he blushed giving her a good luck kiss on the cheek which made her blush to, Gohan stood watching carefully as what his wife and mother were talking about finally dawned on him.
'Bra…beat her' were Vegeta's only words to his daughter.
'Good luck sis, have fun' said Trunks as he hugged his sister which got a scowel from his father which is partly why Trunks did it.
Pan and Bra walked out side by side as the best friends thought this would be best if the entered and exited side by side regardless of whom won.
'Introducing Bra Briefs whose father and brother have previously competed in the tournament and Pan Satan Son, Pan is a favourite in this contest both of her grandfathers are ex-champions in the shape of Goku and the legendary Hercule, her grandmother competed in the tournament as did her great grandfather, mother, father and uncle. This girl has grown up surrounded by these people and other previous champions and competitors as did Bra fighting is in their blood so lets all give it up for these two great young ladies' yelled the announcer hardly taking a breath as he listed the girls history.
Pan and Bra stood opposite each other smiling 'lets go all out and finish this early so we have plenty of time to rest before the next match' said Bra as she stretched.
'Sounds good' said Pan as she finished stretching and smiled at her father and Uub before dropping into a defensive stance.
'Ding Ding' went the bell as the two girls launched into battle.
Pan and Bra traded rapid punches in the centre of the ring which was too fast for anyone to see. Pan gained the upper hand sending Bra backwards to the far side of the ring before charging after her.
Bra's image faded when she connected to Pan's back with a kick sending her out of the ring, Pan hovered over the ground still in a full upright position before she took to the air followed by the green haired girl.
Pan launched a fist into Bra's gut and brought her elbow down across her neck, Bra countered by elbowing Pan in the guts before spinning in mid air and driving her into the ground with her heel. Bra chased after her only to drive her own head straight into Pan's energy attack. Bra shot back into the air as Pan still lying on her back placed her hands into a familiar position.
'Kame…'
Bra tried to change her course but was still reeling from the attack.
'Hame…'
Bra finally stopped but didn't move instead she started to power up.
'Ha!'
Pan fired the blast which shot quickly towards Bra, it connected causing Bra to drop about forty feet before regaining control, her body now dropped into a familiar position.
'Final Flash!' yelled Bra now determined to beat her friend who had always been viewed as the strongest this was because she was stronger but if Bra could beat her she knew her father wouldn't look down her so much because she would have beaten someone from Goku's bloodline.
'You taught her the final flash?' asked Trunks who was yelling at his father, he knew Bra wasn't ready for that but mainly he was angry because Vegeta always said he wouldn't teach Trunks the attack.
Bra's attack started to grow and increase in power, she was having trouble focusing it and it kept randomly increasing shooting energy in all directions, many peoples glasses and mobile phone screens started to crack as did television cameras, Bra had lost control.
Pan looking up at her friend knew she was in trouble and suddenly felt a great need to save her friend as well as everyone in the arena and probably in the southern hemisphere. Pan felt her power rising as did the others standing in the competitors area who were also worried about bra and were just about to put an end to it when they saw a golden blur, seconds later Bra dropped to the floor outside the ring and Pan hung in the air, her hair was now golden and pointed upwards at the ends and the her fringe also pointed upwards at the ends. Her eyes were the classic green and a serious look graced her face before she broke into a huge smile and dropped to the floor helping her friend up.
'The winner is Pan' yelled the announcer as Pan and Bra walked round the ring celebrating.
'I'm sorry, I went to far and lost control' said Bra as she hugged her best friend 'but could you at least tell my dad I was difficult to beat or even you broke a sweat otherwise he'll kill me' the two girls laughed as the walked into the waiting area.
'Well done Pan you transformed, and you won' said her father as he hugged her and kissed her forehead.
Trunks hugged his sister then backed away leaving her father staring at her 'it was over quick but you fought well' he smiled a little 'I hope you realise now we know it is possible for girls to be Super Sayain I expect you to reach it soon' he gave his daughter a stern look before turning his attention back to the ring.
'Well done Pan' said Uub as he placed his hand on her waist.
'Thanks' said Pan as she through her arms round him to give her a hug she quickly backed off when she realised what she had done as both of them blushed.
'For Kami's sake would you just ask him out' said Goten out loud which made the two blush even more, this caused the others surrounding them to laugh until Strom pushed past the group barging his way to the ring.
Strom and Jewel stood in the ring, Jewel stared at Strom but Strom stared past him into the competitors area, the Z fighters stared back as did the two men who were with him but they just smiled at him.
'Ding, Ding'
Seconds later Jewel lay outside the ring screaming in agony and he was covered in blood, the Z fighters stood astounded at what they just saw. The second the bell rang Strom surged forward wedging himself under Jewels arm like he was going to do some Jujitsu throw but instead he simply pulled Jewel's arm away from his body before he turned and hit him with his own arm driving him from the ring with the force. Strom simply threw the arm to the floor and looked at the announcer.
'He will live, announce the match' ordered Strom which the announcer did declaring Strom the winner as the paramedics rushed Jewel out of the arena. Strom simply strolled past the Z fighters glancing at Vegeta as he walked past and stood with his two men.
'Something isn't right about those guys' said Gohan to Vegeta as he watched Strom and the others.
'What are you looking for' asked Black 21 interested in why Goten was searching the crowd.
'I'm just looking for this girl' he said simply, he was trying to be friendly then hopefully 21 wouldn't hate him when he was eliminated.
'Your girlfriend?' asked 21 already knowing the answer (after all it is Marron under the mask).
'No…nothing like that' said Goten as he blushed.
'You like her though don't you' said 21, Marron was blushing too but her face was hidden and she thanked Kami for that.
'Well…yeah, she's special and I really like her but I've made her angry and even though she's really beautiful when she's angry I don't like her being angry with me' Goten quickly realised that he was pouring his heart out to a stranger but it made him feel better and for some reason 21 made him fell calm.
'Goten and Marron sitting in a tree K…I…S…S…I…N…G' began his nephews who were standing in ear shot which made everyone laugh and Goten blush until Trunks and Oupa's match was announced.
The two quickly began their match as the bell rang, Trunks connected his foot hard into Oupa's gut doubling him over before kicking him in the face sending him backwards onto his back. Oupa quickly kipped up and charged at Trunks with his fist, Trunks quickly dodged and delivered a punch to Oupa's head sending him sprawling sideways.
'You're really strong for a human Oupa, even more then expected you to be but you should know your no match for a Sayain' teased Trunks.
Oupa smiled and sat down crossed legged in the ring with his eyes closed as his power slowly built. Trunks ran up and kicked him forcefully in the chest but Oupa didn't budge, Trunks shook it off and kicked him again and again. Oupa didn't even budge he just kept sitting there smiling. Trunks changed his plan and started to fire energy blasts but still Oupa didn't budge. Trunks decided to just push Oupa from the ring but when he tried he couldn't move him it was like Oupa was part of the earth like a mountain.
Trunks and the other Z fighters all asked the same question at the same time 'What is going on?'
Oupa answered Trunks question by speaking into his mind 'it is a technique I have mastered which sends my spirit somewhere else, this means I feel no pain and any second my transformation will be complete and I will be indestructible'
'Then we'll just have to see about that' said Trunks.
'I'm there, now for special attack two' said Oupa directly into Trunk's mind.
'Special attack two what do you mean?' asked Trunks out loud causing everyone to think he was losing his mind.
'Special attack 1 is the indestructible body, number 2 is the free spirit' said Oupa suddenly Trunks could see it a white outline of Oupa surrounded by a red pulsating aura. Trunks charged at the spirit and Oupa just hovered there as Trunks flew straight through him.
'This won't be easy' sighed Trunks as he blasted at Oupa which carried straight through the body of this 'ghost'.
'Are you seeing what I'm seeing?' asked one spectator to another as they looked at the ring seeing Trunks attacking a shimmering white shape.
'I think Trunks has just ran into a problem' said Krillin for which he got a hit around the head from Bulma.
Vegeta just stood staring intently He'll figure out the way to win.
Oupa's spirit then began to fire his own blasts sending Trunks to the floor. The sayain quickly recovered and was hovering in the air opposite Oupa.
'I know how to win' said Trunks confidently 'Your body is indestructible all I have to do is blow up the ring, your body will survive and it will be touching the floor so you will lose.'
'Well done but that won't happen' said Oupa as his spirit vanished. Trunks and everyone else searched the ring with their eyes looking for the spirit but could not find it, Trunks began to focus his attack and aimed his arms towards the ring.
'No no no' said Oupa as Trunks hand shot back hitting himself in the face then again and again.
'Oupa has possessed him' said Uub as he looked on.
Trunks slowly descended to ring level and dropped a little more till his feet were about an inch from the grass. 'No I wont lose like this' growled Trunks as he tried to fight Oupa.
Trunks burst into Super Sayain 2 he was so focused on not being eliminated 'I must fight my father!' he yelled as he unleashed more power which managed to drive Oupa's spirit out of his body and back into his own.
Trunks landed in the ring exhausted from the ordeal one more attack and he would be eliminated for sure. Oupa slowly stood up in the ring and smiled before collapsing.
'One…Two…Three…Four…Five…Six…Seven…Eight…Nine…Ten…Oupa is out, your winner is Trunks!' yelled the announcer as the crowd exploded into applause.
'What happened?' asked Goten a little confused by what had just taken place.
'Don't you pay any attention' growled Vegeta 'Oupa sent his spirit somewhere else but his body was still getting beaten…'
Goten quickly caught onto the idea and finished Vegeta's sentence '…so when his spirit returned the beating his body took was too much and he passed out.'
Vegeta nodded at Goten who had left the area to congratulate his friends on a good battle.
Trunks just stared at his father and smiled.
…
'Your up next, you think you can beat him?' asked Pan while she sat on the floor watching Uub stretch.
'Maybe, if it was anyone else I would say definitely but your dad and Vegeta are the two strongest beings on this planet along with me so this should be difficult.' Said Uub reasoning out the battle in his head.
'Well you have all the power of Buu and even more' said Pan boosting Uub's confidence 'yeah but remember along time ago Vegeta did beat Buu' replied Uub.
'Well just like you said good luck' said Pan as she leaned forward kissing uub on the cheek, the two stared into one another's eyes and began to move closer tilting their heads.
'OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH' said Goken as he and Gobu burst from their hiding place behind some bushes and stuck their tounge out at their sister.
'I better go' said Uub as he quickly scurried off for his match.
'We saw that you like Uub, you like Uub' taunted Pan's little brothers which caused her to turn super Sayain.
The two boys suddenly went quiet and stood looking at each other 'Run Away!' they both shouted and darted out of the open window quickly followed by Pan, she quickly gave up though and headed to watch Uub's match.
The bell rang as the two warriors stood across from one another in the ring, Uub smiled at the Sayain before vanishing into thin air and landing a kick to his back. Vegeta quickly countered as he slammed his fist into the back of Uub's head causing him to spin around landing on his backside.
'Enough child' barked Vegeta 'we only have a short time for our match and I would rather loose by knockout then have the panel decide whether I win or loose, so I say we take this to full power now'.
Vegeta tossed Uub a manacle which he gestured should be put on his arm, this was the first time Uub had noticed Vegeta was wearing a manacle on each arm one had a blue sphere much like the one he now had and the other had a red orb.
'Bulma created these it will shift us slightly from this plain meaning we can fight at full strength without destroying the earth' smirked Vegeta as Uub placed the device on his wrist and the two began to power up.
'There power is immense' said Goten as he stood slack jawed staring at his two friends in the ring.
Vegeta went super Sayain 2 just as Uub reached a state he liked to call Super Uub which was an equivalent to if he in a normal state had done the Kaioken attack. There powers kept rising.
Vegeta suddenly vanished as he appeared in front of Uub and smashed his fist into the young boys face which caused him to fly backwards before he righted himself. Uub instantly launched at Vegeta and caught him with an elbow across the face, the two began to trade blows in midair matching one another exactly. Vegeta got the upper hand and sent Uub crashing to the floor. Uub's body vanished and appeared above Vegeta and copied the exact move he had just done sending the Sayain to the floor, Uub charged at Vegeta only to get a ki blast to the face. Uub flys back into the air as the other warriors flinch, they could tell that attack had hurt. Pan began to cheer wildly for Uub when she saw him heading back towards Vegeta.
Uub and Vegeta began to exchange high speed blows in mid air as Strom and his goons looked on with interest for the first time in the tournament. Uub was winning as he slammed his knee into Vegeta's gut, Vegeta countered grabbing the young boys foot and dragging him to the floor where he locked on some sort of submission causing Uub to scream in pain.
'Do you give up brat' screamed Vegeta which caused Uub to shake his head as Vegeta tightened the hold Uub scremed and burst with energy forcing Vegeta backwards. 'You've been holding back…good I thought you were no challenge' said Vegeta as his power also swelled to just above Uub's. Uub sighed knowing this wasn't as easy as he thought it would be, he looked at the clock which told him he only had three minutes to win.
Vegeta landed Uub with a thunderous blow before he took to the air calling out his attack 'Galic Gun!'.
The fighters gasped at the lengths Vegeta would go to win, all except Trunks who just smiled cockily at his father.
Vegeta launched his attack which blasted into the ground, Vegeta smiled until he sensed Uub's energy, he turned as Uub's fist connected driving him to the floor causing Pan to cheer.
'It's called Instant Translocation' laughed Uub as he knew no one knew he knew the attack. 'Now lets finish this, Turn to chocolate' yelled Uub as a giant beam headed straight for Vegeta.
Vegeta gasped as he fired a blast which collided with Uub's beam but instead of cancelling it out it merely deflected it, the beam headed straight to the fighters, Gohan, Trunks and Goten dodged it but it connected hard with…Pan. A Pan chocolate bar sat on the floor seconds later causing Gohan and Uub to gasp.
'Here boy' yelled Vegeta as Uub turned to see where the noise was from, Vegeta slammed Uub hard in the gut with a kick before slamming his hands across the boys back sending him flying to the grass outside.
Uub's feet touched the ground and he looked down at them for a split second before sprinting to Pan's side. 'Return to normal' ordered Uub and in a puff of smoke Pan appeared.
'I'm sorry' said Uub as he hugged Pan and kissed her on the forehead numerous times.
'Don't worry' said Pan 'Did you win?'
'That was an exciting match to end the day with, the winner is Vegeta, please be sure to come back tomorrow for the second half of the first round' yelled the announcer as many people began to leave the arena.
'Oh well…it was a good match' said Pan trying to comfort Uub which caused him to smile.
Vegeta walked past the pair and his eyes met with Trunks 'That was a good match' said Trunks not breaking his stare.
'Yes it was' said Vegeta brushing his son off as he continued to walk past him.
Trunks growled as the others grabbed their things and headed off to the hotels ready for tomorrow.
