"Dragonball AS: New Recruits Saga"

Chapter 13- "Majin Might"

By- Tiny

Ice slammed his knee into Ubuu's face for the umpteenth time, hurtling the Majin into the air above them. The chocolate skinned teen was in bad shape, his fresh clothing torn to shreds and his body was in such bad shape that he couldn't even feel his entire right side. Before Ubuu could pull himself out of the upward hurtle, Ice phased above him to smash a foot into the teen's face.

"He's going to kill him if this keeps up!" Bra shouted from the judge's booth, "We have to put a stop to the fight!"

"Silence girl!" Vegeta growled, "This fight will go on! Besides, the boy isn't finished just yet!"

As Bra looked up to watch the fight again, she noticed that Ubuu was now on the offensive, giving his all to defeat Ice. His blows were connecting effectively, but he had no idea other than the fact that Ice would be flung back by the force of the blows. Ubuu was giving him a run for his money, but was still losing.

"I must say you're persistent," Ice chuckled, "I was afraid at first, but now I see that you're just a weakling! Nothing like the beast Majin Buu that Son Goku defeated years ago!"

"I...am not...Buu," Ubuu stammered, "I...am better...then that..."

"Prove it!" Ice growled, slinging a fist at the battered Majin.

Quicker than the eye could see, Ubuu's left hand flew up in front of him and grabbed Ice's fist. The Kurudo-jin didn't understand how this beaten fool had managed to block his attack in his condition, but somehow Ubuu had.

"I warned you not to get cocky," Ubuu growled, his eyes turning red, "Yet no, you didn't listen to me! Now, it's going to cost you!"

Increasing the pressure around Ice's hand, everyone in the stadium could hear as the bones cracked open. Ubuu's aura was intensifying, going from a pinkish hue to a brilliant blue-green color, his eyes remaining a glowing red color. His body crackled with power, power so great that most people in the stadium began to fear this formerly gentle, kind-hearted boy.

"My lord, his power level just shot to 60 million," Trunks gulped, "And...it's still going up!!!"

"You've pushed me to this, and now it's time to pay!" Ubuu screamed, kneeing Ice in the ribs, "Now...you are going to suffer!"

Purple blood flew out of Ice's mouth as the force of the blow rocked through his body, triggering pain that he had never felt before in his life. Not giving Ice a chance to catch his breath, Ubuu continued to pummel the Kurudo-jin's mid section in a rhythmic and constant formation. Each blow sent more and more pain through the teen's body as Ubuu's fury increased.

"He's lost his mind," Ice coughed, "I'm going to die..."

Pulling the Kurudo-jin from his thoughts once more, Ubuu slammed his fist into the teen's face. Ice heard the bones crunch in his face, but he couldn't feel a bit of it anywhere. His body had become so numb and limp that it made Ubuu's previous condition look like nothing.

"Time to end this!" Ubuu laughed, "BUU BEAM!!!!"

"So much anger in one child," Queen Rhubra, Vegeta's mother, sighed, "Has nobody ever taught him how to control it?"

"We never felt it necessary," Dende shrugged, "Ubuu was always a good natured young man until you made him angry. It was then that he simply lost control, but it always turned out well enough."

"It isn't going so great now," Bardock growled, "He's going to kill someone who could quite possibly be of great help to us in the future!"

"He's a descendant of Frieza!" Vegita yelled, "He'd kill all of us and laugh on our graves before he helped us!"

"HE'S NOT LIKE THAT!" Raditz screamed, smacking the king across the face, "He isn't Frieza or his family! He will be of great help if I have to go and see to it myself!"

"How dare you strike me!" Vegita roared, "I'm the King of all..."

"SHUT UP!" Raditz snapped back, "On this world, in this life, there are no kings or rulers, everyone is equal. You have no power, especially over those stronger than you!"

"So you're stronger than me, huh?" Vegita smirked, "Then prove it!"

Raditz's hair flashed blonde and he dove on the king before anyone could even try to stop him. By the time anyone could pull the young Saiya-jin off of his former king, Vegita was so badly injured that Bardock was certain he wouldn't be moving for quite some time.

"He'll be cranky later..."

Ubuu stood with confidence as the massive red energy wave flew towards Ice, threatening to kill the Kurudo-jin on contact. His eyes burned with a maddening fury that nobody had ever seen in him before, save his enemies. Right as the attack reached Ice, Ubuu tensed with anticipation and watched in awe as...the beam shot back into space.

"What the hell!?!"

"That's quite enough!" Vegeta grumbled, "You've beaten him, so back off!"

"Out of my way Vegeta," Ubuu growled, "He isn't leaving this arena...alive that is!"

Before Ubuu had a chance to blink, Vegeta had phased in front of him and drove a powerful knee into his chest. Whatever power had surged throughout the Majin's body disappeared instantly, knocking him to the ground below. Vegeta smirked, satisfied, and landed between the two fighters.

"Do you wish to continue, Ice?" Vegeta inquired, "He has no advantage over you now."

"No, I'm going to forfeit," Ice gulped, "I wish you luck in the next round, Ubuu!"

"I'll see you again Ice," Ubuu chuckled, "And when I do, we're going to finish this fight, hear me?"

"Yeah, I guess," Ice gulped, "See ya around!"

As Ice ran for the waiting area, Ubuu following shortly after, Vegeta stood looking up into the air. Just as the beam he smacked away into the air dissipated, he sensed an energy spike at the Lookout, one that felt very...familiar. The Saiya-jin prince smirked and headed back to the judge's table, his tail whipping happily behind him.

"And I thought I never see that fool again..."

At the Lookout, Bardock and Raditz gave each other slack-jawed, unbelieving looks right as Vegeta looked up towards the sky.

"HE KNOWS!!!!!!!!!"

After an hour of repairs, bringing the day to late afternoon, the ring was fixed yet again and Videl walked into the ring. Her young son was strapped to her in a harness, squirming excitedly as she pulled out her microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Videl screeched, "That last fight was...interesting, and this bout promises to be just as entertaining! The son's of two great warriors, Yamcha and Tien, are ready to prove their might in the ring, so let's get the match underway!"

At the crowd's cheers, Roshi and Yuno stepped out of the waiting area and headed towards the ring. Both had changed into fresh gi's and wore looks of sheer determination on their faces, as well they should have.

"I am going to win this match, Roshi," Yuno smirked, falling into stance, "You should give up right now."

"You aren't much more powerful than me," Roshi laughed, "And just to prove it, I'll give you the first punch, right on the face."

"You're kidding me, right?"

"Nope, go ahead," Roshi smirked, "Just see if you can do it!"

Angry at Roshi's implication, Yuno darted after his opponent and drew back for the blow. Just before the blow connected, Roshi ducked under Yuno's fist and smashed his foot into the taller teen's stomach. Yuno doubled over in pain, but Roshi gave him no time to recover and threw a fist into the green clad boy's back.

"Oh, that has to hurt!" Goten winced, watching the match, "Yuno's stronger, but this guy's definitely the more knowledgeable fighter."

"Indeed," Vegeta nodded, "This match should be interesting."

Just as the conversation ended, Yuno jumped back into defensive stance and glared at the long-haired teen. Roshi swept his hair aside and smirked confidently at the student of the Crane school.

"Back for more, huh?" Roshi laughed, "I thought you'd have learned your lesson by now..."

"Silence fool! I'm going to beat you yet!" Yuno growled, jumping into the air, "Ki...."

"Oh crap!" Roshi gulped, "Ka....me...."

"...Kou...."

"....Ha....me..."

"HA!!!!!"

"HA!!!!!"

The two beams collided with shocking force, knocking several of the spectators out of their seats before anyone had a chance to blink. Blue and yellow energy pushed heavily against each other, neither able to out power the other, and it looked like a stalemate had occurred.

"I won't go down like this!" Yuno grunted, phasing out of sight.

Roshi's KameHameHa fired off into space without the resistance against it, startling the teen for a second. He had not time to gain his bearings, however, as Yuno appeared behind him and fired a blast right into Roshi's back. The dark-haired teen slid to the end of the ring and stopped short just as his hand slid over.

"Crap," Yuno grumbled, "He didn't fall out."

"You didn't think I'd be that easy, did you?" Roshi chuckled, "I'm just getting warmed up! Care to see what I mean?"

"Bring it on, you fool..."

NEXT TIME: Yuno and Roshi are now engaged in a battle of wits and wills, neither willing to give an inch to the other. Who will emerge victorious and go on to face Ubuu in the finals? More importantly, will Ubuu ever learn to control his anger? Find out in the next installment of Dragonball AS!!!!
