The Saiyan Tournament was going to begin shortly. All the fighters were prepared and excited. Orphan knew that he could not be present to this event so he decided to do something else. He headed off for Earth once again to try to get Goku's relatives to return to their home.
King Vegeta looked on from the stands, in his royal booth. All those of royal blood who were not participating in the tournament watched from up there. King Vegeta was practically the only one of his family who did not feel like fighting. Then again he knew he was no match for his young descendants.
The lower levels of course were below them.
Krillin's daughter was part of the crowd. Teguta also decided not to take part. He worried for the others. He knew that the Royal Saiyans would not make this easy and they would be difficult to beat.
Zorn and Tarka were the announcers for the tournament. It was going to be a lot of work but they wanted to do it. Zorn walked over to Tarka. " So what part do you want to do?"
" I'll do the second half."
" Alright. I'll get the first half then."
" Oh yeah… Zorn. Here catch." Tarka said. He through him the microphone.
" Thanks man."
Zorn walked to the stadium. All the competitors were waiting behind a wall. It was similar to the Earth Tournament. There was a huge ring and there were stands surrounding it. All the competitors walked from the doorway.
Goku looked around. He couldn't believe the crowd. " Wow… there are so many people here."
" What did you expect little brother?" Raditz asked.
" Well I didn't think that there would be this many people here."
" Don't tell me your getting cold feet Kakarot!" Vegeta said.
Goku looked back at his 'rival'. " No of course not. I'm not nervous at all. I've been through this all my life. Ever since I was a kid I fought in front of large groups of people."
" Well I guess then we are all relaxed then." Bardock said.
" I'm not." Torra said. He was so nervous.
" Oh yeah I forgot.. you have to fight Vegeta first!" Goku said.
" Yeah… I'm so nervous."
" All you can really do is do your best."
" I'm glad your so confident. But I'm worried sick… Prince Vegeta isn't going to hold back on my account."
" Torra… stop this worrying. Prince Vegeta won't hurt you that bad, perhaps.." Bardock whispered the word 'perhaps.' He didn't want to worry Torra even more.
Zorn walked up to the ring. " Good day ladies and gentlemen. I'm am glad to announce that the Saiyan Tournament is about to begin!"
There were loud cheers from the crowd. They had been waiting for this tournament for months now…
Vegeta and Torra walked up to the ring. Zorn turned on the microphone again. " Alright… let me introduce the competitors. On my right…. Is the eldest son of our king… Prince Vegeta." The cheers could be heard again.
" On my left…. Torra!"
Both men got in there fighting posses. " Now then I assume you all know the rules… Now really…. fight!"
Vegeta smiled as he looked at Torra. ' This is going to be a very easy match. Torra is a weakling compared to the royal family… but everyone wants to try their luck I guess. Lucky for him… we aren't allowed to kill anyone in the tournament."
Torra gulped in fear. ' Oh man… why is he looking at me like that? It's like I'm a rat and he's a great big bird coming down to eat something or me. No Torra… don't start thinking that way. You came here to have fun and that's what your going to do.'
Vegeta powered up slightly. He didn't find it necessary to waste his power on such a weak opponent. He smiled again as his white aura surrounded him. Torra powered up to his max, which was around maybe 10,000. This wasn't bad for a low level, but compared to Vegeta that was an insect bite. Torra gulped again and he charged Vegeta. He through a hailstorm of punches at Vegeta. Each time Vegeta dodged them with ease. Vegeta only needed one arm to block his attacks. Then Vegeta grabbed Torra's arm. He then began to twist it. Torra shouted in pain.
Bardock and the others couldn't believe how rough Vegeta was being with Torra. It seemed down right cruel to hurt someone that badly.
Just then Vegeta lifted his right leg and kicked Torra in the gut. It sent him flying about a foot in the other direction. Torra grabbed his stomach in pain. It was actually bleeding. Torra's right arm was hanging there almost lifeless.
Vegeta laughed. " I'm surprised you lasted this long Torra… I would have thought that a Saiyan of your limited power would have lost by now."
" Hasn't anyone told you not to underestimate your enemy?"
" I have nothing to fear from a person like you. Compared to me you're a cockroach. And in your condition… what exactly can you do?"
Torra knew Vegeta was right. There wasn't much he could do with a broken arm. He just realized that Vegeta broke several of his ribs as well.
" Well Torra it looks like I should put you out of your misery…" Vegeta once again attacked Torra. This time around he was much faster. Vegeta seemed to disappear for a quick second, then he reappeared on Torra's left side. He shot a powerful Ki blast at him… sending him into a near by wall… nearly totally destroying it.
Vegeta looked at what he did. " Oops. Didn't mean to be that hard on him… but oh well."
" The winner of the first match, Prince Vegeta!" Zorn declared.
Bardock and the others members of ' the gang' run over to his side.
" You alright Torra?" Bardock asked
" I've been worse. But I think I'll be ok."
" Man look at you. You're a mess." Goku said
" Yeah I know. I guess that's what happens when you fight the prince of all Saiyans." Torra said.
" But it shouldn't be that way. Vegeta shouldn't have hurt you that bad… considering the power difference." Goku said.
" The Royal Saiyans have never held back when they are in battle. I have known them to go all out, even when they fight a fighter who is weaker then themselves." Martanka said.
" I know what that's like first hand." Saguta said.
" Don't worry about it so much." Torra turns to Bardock. " Could you give me a hand pal?"
" Uh… oh sure." Bardock pulls his friend to his feet. " You going to be ok?"
" Yeah. I'm as tough as nails."
Fassia came over a put her hand on his shoulder… semi light. Torra shouts in pain again. " OUCH! What the…. Oh it's you Fassia."
She looks at him. " Tough as nails uh…." She said in a doubtful voice.
" Hey come on… cut me a little slack would ya. I was just in a battle."
" No excuse. You shouldn't be boosting like that. Even if you just came from a battle… And I know you Torra… you can be one of the biggest wimps I know."
" You say something!"
Bardock starts laughing. Torra looks back at him with a disappointed look.
" What are you laughing at?"
" Sorry… sorry. It's just funny… how the two of you fight. You are going to be a really cute couple one day."
Torra and Fassia look like they are going to kill Bardock. " Are you out of your mind!" The shout in unison. They start chasing Bardock all over the place. Bardock is running away from them. " Ah… what did I do!"
Goku was laughing on the ground. " I guess dad and I have another thing in common… all of our friends are out to get us for something."
Just then Goku could feel a cold look on him. He turned around nervously. He sees his friends standing there. He cringes. " What did I do?"
" You know what you did… you drove us all nuts."
" Here we go again." Goku starts running off.
Zorn looks at this site. He cringes too. ' Oh boy… this is ridiculous. I guess what they say is true after all… Like father like son.'
Hey everyone. Sorry I didn't update in a while. I wasn't really in the mood and sit down and write. I've been going nuts with testing and junk. I think you all know what that's like. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I tried to make it good and I hope you think that it is. Please review. Till next time.
