"Dragonball AS: 32nd Budokai Saga"

Chapter 40- "Legendary?"

By- Tiny

For miles around the small island where the 32nd Tenkachi Budokai was taking place, people could not only hear but feel the sonic booms from the two boy's hammering blows and ki attacks. The aftershocks from an impact into the arena felt like small earthquakes and the sheer exertion of power was upsetting the tides as the waves increased and then decreased in intensity. It was truly a match for the ages.

Kimuchi was swinging furiously at his opponent as the son of Ubuu put up his arms in defense, not a single punch or kick getting through. Both boys were at the second level of Super Saiya-jin as their battle raged on, neither gaining the upper hand on the other as the intensity and speed of their blows became to fast to accurately follow. Even the video monitors around the stadium were having difficulty keeping up with the two boys, meaning they were focusing less on power and more on speed and skill.

Boxer was about to launch a ki blast at his opponent when Kimuchi phased out of sight, reappearing above Boxer just in time to land a knee in the smaller boy's face. The son of Ubuu reeled in pain as a small trickle of blood ran down his face, giving Kimuchi ample time to slam a fist into the Saiya-jin boy's face, followed up kick towards the ring. The impact of Boxer's body slamming into the ring sent tile flying out towards the stands, stopping just short as they fell to the ground.

"Something's wrong here," Kimuchi mused, "Boxer's never been this easy to beat around no matter who he was fighting! Why is he holding back like this?"

"Nice shot, Kimuchi," Boxer chuckled, hovering out of the ring, "I haven't been slammed into the ring that hard all day!"

"I'll take that as a compliment," the son of Raditz smirked, shaking his deep thoughts away, "Medon would've finished you off by now, though."

"Oh, I wouldn't be so sure of that," Boxer laughed, his aura rising, "He might of held the upper hand for a while, but I would've won."

"And what makes you think so?"

"Oh, maybe....THIS!!!"

Kimuchi shielded his eyes as Boxer's golden aura pushed outwards, little blue bolts of energy shooting out around his body as he did so. Everyone who could sense ki could feel the royal Saiya-jin's power level rising rapidly as the stadium shook violently with each scream the young boy let loose. The young boy's eye's faded completely white as they themselves crackled with energy, showing just how much power was locked away in his body.

The young boy's muscles bulged tremendously as he grew several inches towards the sky and his shirt ripped completely away, veins bulging out of his skin. The young boy's golden locks of hair stretched down towards the ground rapidly as his eyebrows burned away and protruded, giving him a more intimidating look. In one final scream of sheer rage the young boy's power peaked, temporarily blinding all those around him in the stadium.

Boxer had ascended....

"How the hell is this possible!?!" Bra gasped, "He never did this in our training sessions! Did you not tell me something Ubuu?"

"Of course not, I didn't know!" Ubuu defended himself, "Maybe your father had something to do with it?"

"I did not!" Vegeta growled, "This power is his naturally. Somehow, he has always had it somewhere inside him."

"What do you mean, Dad?" a very confused Bra asked, "How can he have had this pent up inside of him?"

"Because I always knew something was special about him, from the day he was born into this world," Vegeta smiled, "Every generation has one, but I never thought he would appear so soon..."

"I'm still lost, Vegeta," Ubuu shook his head, "What is so special about my son?"

The Saiya-jin prince gave no reply save a small smile at his son-in-law before looking back into the ring, seeing the son of Raditz cringe with fear before Boxer's radical new transformation. Vegeta couldn't help but be proud of his grandson's accomplishment, but was even more proud of the knowledge that he and, more than likely, only he had.

"My grandson," Vegeta chuckled, "This new generation's Legendary..."

Kimuchi couldn't believe his eyes as Boxer crossed his arms in classic Vegeta style, a familiar cocky smirk plastered on his face. The young son of Raditz was almost on the verge of shock as he watched lightning bolts flash around the grandson of Vegeta's body, each on sending a small tremor throughout the stadium. It was an unbelievable sight, especially since Boxer and Kimuchi were almost the exact same age.

"I'm doomed," the son of Raditz trembled, "There's no way I can win now..."

"I'm glad you realized that you can't win, chump," Boxer smirked, "After all, it would be humiliating for me to beat you so easily. Why do you think I'm doing this?"

"Who's to say you'll defeat me?" Kimuchi smirked, regaining his resolve, "I am the son of one of the most powerful warriors in existence, after all!"

"I'm a Saiya-jin of royal blood mixed with the reincarnated blood of the pink demon Majin Buu," Boxer laughed, "I think that gives me a distinct advantage."

"We'll see about that!" Kimuchi roared, "OOZARU FURY!!!"

In an instant Kimuchi's power shot through the roof, even beyond Boxer's at the third level, and he too burst out of his shirt from the size increase. Boxer showed no fear from the sudden surge of energy, however, and stood calmly in place as the son of Raditz charged at him full force.

Kimuchi swung out his fist quickly and forcefully, knocking the grandson of Vegeta back almost thirty feet before he finally came to a halt, firing a small Final Flash right at the long-haired Saiya-jin's body. Kimuchi took the blow full force, not even the least bit phased by the powerful energy attack as it dissipated into the air. Boxer growled angrily as the young boy laughed at his futile attempt at damaging him, but soon smirked at an unexpected, yet welcome change.

Kimuchi's body suddenly shrunk back down to normal as his hair faded back to it's normal reddish-brown color. The young Saiya-jin looked confused for a moment, but soon started to beat himself up as he realized just what had happened.

"I forgot about the energy drain!" Kimuchi growled, "How could I have been so freakin' stupid!?!"

"Well now, isn't this interesting?" Boxer laughed, "You got in one good hit and then all that power drains away when I retaliate. Why do you think that is?"

"The move isn't perfect yet and drains me quickly," Kimuchi growled, "I shouldn't have used it so early on without wearing you down first."

"I guess this means you lose then, doesn't it?" Boxer smirked, charging up an energy wave, "Any last words before I send you on your way?"

"Yeah, just one," Kimuchi nodded, drawing back, "ABYSS!!!"

Boxer looked utterly confused as a black beam of energy hit him in the chest then dissipated as though it had never been there at all. The young boy was about to laugh at his opponent until little black bolts of energy shot out all around his body until he was covered in them totally and, as if on cue, the young boy's energy dropped to nearly nothing. Everyone in the stadium, save a select few, were stunned beyond belief, none more so than Boxer himself.

"What did you do to me!?!" the feisty young Saiya-jin demanded, "ANSWER ME!!!"

"I'll tell you later," Kimuchi smirked, pushing his hands to the side, "DOUBLE SUNDAY!!!"

Boxer had no time, nor the energy, to dodge the massive pink blasts as they rammed right into the middle of his body, knocking him down to the ground below with a loud and resounding thump. Everyone in the stadium fell deathly silent, not sure whether or not to believe what they were seeing or not as the young Saiya-jin boy was carried off to the medical wing. Kimuchi himself landed in the ring as his friend flashed him a proud smile before falling unconscious and being taken away from view of the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, he has done it again! Kimuchi is the new Junior Division champion!" Bardock grinned, "As a reward for this momentous, if not unbelievable, accomplishment, this brave young fighter will go on to face the champion of the Adult Division at the end of the tournament. Let's hear it for this great young warrior!!!"

The crowd, who were so quiet and subdued before, suddenly erupted in a fit of cheers and chanting as the young Saiya-jin waved nervously. Looking around the stadium as he waved to the excited crowd, Kimuchi noticed a certain Saiya-jin prince glaring angrily at the young boy. If looks could kill, then Kimuchi would've dropped dead right then and there in front of everyone.

"I am so dead when this is over," the son of Raditz gulped, "Oh well. At least I'm going down a champ!!!"

NEXT TIME: Kimuchi has, against all odds and superior foes, proven to be the most gifted fighter amongst the new generation of Saiya-jin's. With the Junior Division now finished and Kimuchi as it's champion, it is time to start up the Adult Division where the real powerhouse's plan to compete! Who will Kimuchi be facing out of the older Z warriors and, more importantly, will he live long enough to tell about it? Find out in the next installment of Dragonball AS!!!!!!!
