Dead warriors tournament
Chapter 12
On the shoulders of his teammates, Goku went to a bench against the wall of the arena. There, Kreeka joined the fighters from the north galaxy to try and comfort Goku, who seemed to be embarrassed by the way he had won the fight.
You did great!- said Oli- You proved that you can defeat even an adversary that's even stronger than you.
You shouldn't have said that- said Kaekin-. You're hurting his pride.
That's okay love- said Kreeka while she sat beside him and pulled his head down so he could rest it on her shoulder-. You didn't win by luck, that's not what they mean. You won because you deserved it. Because he didn't finish you when he had the chance.
-Goku- interrupted the north Kaio-. Don't you think you won by luck, maybe you weren't stronger thatn him. That makes this victory even more important. You proved that you defeated him even when he had a clear advantage over you. You shouldn't feel humilliated, it's him who has been humilliated by you.
Pikkon meanwhile, had escorted the surprised Cryfel to their bench. Cryfel couldn't believe how he had lost that fight. He was devastated by the shame.
You should have won this one- Pikkon told him.
I had him- Cryfel replied-. Why did I lose? Why?
Because you were too trusty of yourself- told him the west kaio-. What did I tell you? Never trust your enemy because he may be hiding something.
I just never saw that coming.
-Why not? We told about his techniques, that teleporting trick was the one he used to defeat Pikkon in the last tournament. We went over this yesterday! Pikkon, it's time for your fight. Don't dissapoint me.
Pikkon entered the ring and stood face to face with Kalinto. They both got into their fighting crouches and as soon as they received the signal, they engaged into combat. They charged at each other. Pikkon stroke two punches at Kalinto who in a response delivered several continuous kicks at Pikkon.
He finally grabbed Pikkon by an arma, liftes him up and slammed him into the floor of the ring. He then threw a punch at Pikkon's face but only managed to hit Pikkon's hat. Pikkon escaped into the air. Kalinto then began expanding his ki, once again, lightning bolts emerged from the air around the ring.
Meanwhile, up in the air, Pikkon took off his sleeveless overcoat. He then began buiding up his ki. When he was ready, he sent his tornado attack to Kalinto. The tornado embrased Kalinto but he managed to stay nailed to ground. However, his electrified ki was absorved by Pikkon's tornado. Pikkon in the end got electrocuted by Kalinto's ki. Once the tornado ceased, Kalinto flew up to cross fists with his oponent.
Even though Pikkon had taken all the punishment upto then, he proved to punch and block faster than his oponent. He quickly gained advantage which he used by beating the shit out of Kalinto. This berating ceased when a huge explosion took place between them. Both fighters fell to the arena in flames. Once more, Kalinto had performed his move that ended up hurting both fighters.
Both fighters hit the ground and took a while to get up. Cheered by their teammates and respective kaios they managed to stand up inspite of the huge damage they had both taken. They both faced each other holding their guard up. None of them wanted to make the first move, they were both too tired.
I've got an unbelievable endurance- Kalinto boasted between the short breaths he took-. That's why I like this technique, makes everything depend on the one thing I have advantage.
-Didn't you see the last fight?- said Pikkon with a smirk- Adavntages mean nothing if you can't use them profitably.
Kalinto shot various ki blasts at Pikkon. Pikkon swatted every single one of them away. Then he counter struck using the same method. This proved uneffective as Kalinto swatted them away very easily. They were both locked in an even match. The only way to win was by using a better strategy than the oponent.
Pikkon gathered a huge amount of energy and prepared to shoot his thunderflash attack. Kalinto just seemed to be waiting for Pikkon to strike. Pikkon finally shot the powerful flame at kalinto. All that could be seen was kalinto's shadow wrapped up in fire. However, that shadow suddenly began to move forward, it was moving through the fire towards Pikkon. Once the shadow was close enough to Pikkon, two hands came out of the fire and grabbed Pikkon's wrists. Kalinto wide opened Pikkon's arms and struck his stomach with the end of his tail. Then, he wrapped his tail around Pikkon's neck and instead of squeazing, he took the chance to go behind Pikkon without letting him turn around.
Kalinto placed his hands on Pikkon's back and quickly gathered his remaining ki and struck a second huge explosion. Both of them were sent away and very badly damaged. Kalinto was the first to stand up, although it didn't take much for Pikkon to do the same.
Your fire was like fresh air to me- said Kalinto-. You can't beat me with that pityfull attack.
Then let's imporvise- said Pikkon as he charged against his oponent.
Pikkon approached quickly. As he was getting nearer, he prepared to launch a kick at kalinto. Kalinto foresaw this move and stepped aside and kicked Pikkon at one of his sides. Pikkon fell to the ground. Kalinto prepared a ki blast but Pikkon grabbed him by both of his arms. Then he jumped high in the air. With all his ki he flew up as high and as quickly as possible. Kalinto struck a double kneebutt and broke loose from Pikkon's grip.
Again Pikkon performed the thunderflash attack. This time, Kalinto moved faster through the flames towards Pikkon. Kalinto's figure came out of the fire and Pikkon inmediately dissapeared just to appear behind Kalinto. Kalinto inmediately turned around and received an uppercut to his chin. Kalinto was sent flying upwards till he hit the ceiling of the room.
He tricked me into walking through the fire- Kalinto thought to himself.
Both fighters descended back to the arena. There, they both shook hands as Kalinto wished luck to Pikkon on the final.
An amazing fight between Pikkon and Kalinto- the announcer called out-. An even match between tow great fighters that ended with a powerful uppercut that sent Kalinto crashing against the ceiling of the room. Tomorrow you will all witness the great final of this tournament between Goku from the north and Pikkon from the west. The same epic combat that took place in the final of our last tournament will now have a rematch. This time let's hope to see a winner instead of two losers.
