Chapter 15: Semis and the night before

"Welcome back to the live coverage of the 25 World Martial Arts Tournament, we are about to start the Semi-finals, and let me tell you these match-ups are going to be something special. First we have the defending champion of the Tournament, Yamcha versus a new comer who has beaten another ex-champ, Vegeta," the announcer said, "Now welcome them to the ring, our first semi match up, Yamcha and Vegeta."

Both of the fighters walked into the ring and smiled at one another . For both of them they knew that this would be a true test of ability and one that both of them where looking forward too. Yamcha and Vegeta quickly got into fight poses and prepared themselves for the battle that was to come. Vegeta started of the battle by charging at Yamcha and throwing a punch at the man's face. This was blocked and Vegeta then threw another punch that was blocked. He then followed it up with a handful of really fast attacks that were all blocked in turn. Yamcha then countered with a kick aimed at Vegeta's legs but Vegeta jumped away from the attack and landed behind Yamcha and threw a punch at Yamcha's back. Yamcha was able to turn and block it just in time and threw a counter punch that was blocked by Vegeta. Vegeta then saw an opening and attacked with a kick to Yamcha's side that sent Yamcha flying into the area floor. Yamcha got up and smirked at Vegeta and then challenged him to attack again. Vegeta in turn did attack again but this time it was Yamcha's counter attack that got the upper hand and Vegeta was on the floor.
Vegeta then got up, turned Super Saiyan

"That was a nice warm-up, now let's fight for real," Vegeta said.

"Okay, if that's how you want it," Yamcha said turning into a Super Human.

The two then attacked each other at the same time, knocking each other back with their attacks. Then they attacked again and this kept on happening for over 4 hours till most people in the crowd were tired from the excitement of the fight. Vegeta then flew up into the sky and was followed by Yamcha and the two started to battle high in the sky exchanging blow after blow and once in a while one of the two fighters would fall to the ground but go right back into the fight. This part of the fight lasted another 2 hours. All of the sudden, both fighters landed next to each other and stopped fighting. The whole crowd went quiet when they saw this happened, they had no idea what would happen next.

"Yeah Vegeta let's end this fight with a bang okay," Yamcha said.

"Sure, sounds good to me," Vegeta said smirking.

At this point Yamcha fired a huge Kamehameha Wave at Vegeta who in turn fired a large Galick Gun right back at Yamcha. The two attacks hit each other in the middle of the ring and the struggle to see who would come on top was very much in doubt. Both fighters where equal till Vegeta hit a loose peace of the flooring and tripped so he lost control of his Galick Gun and the match.

"The winner of the match is Yamcha but give credit to Vegeta. He delivered a good fight," the announcer said.

Yamcha walked over to Vegeta and helped him up, and said,"Well, I guess I just got lucky. I'm not sure if I would have won if I didn't have that luck on my side."

"Well you're right there and next time I'll hope to prove it," Vegeta said walking into the locker room.

"Next we have Dabura against Gohan. Who will face the champ in the next round," the announcer said.

Both fighters walked into the ring and got ready instantly. Gohan charged up to Super Saiyan and Dabura in turn powered up as well creating a huge red aura around him. The fighters attacked each other and Gohan put everything he had in to every one of his attacks but they did nothing to Dabura who just kept dodging them and laughing at the half bred warrior. Then Gohan went Super Saiyan 2 and began to hit Dabura with some force but Dabura kept on laughing at him and then waited for the right moment when Gohan would lose control of his power. When that happened he jumped and knocked him right out of the ring.

"Winner Dabura and that means the final will be Yamcha vs Dabura. Due to the length of the first fight we will not have that match up until tomorrow," the announcer said.

Dabura got out of the ring and found where Yamcha was and said to him, "Tomorrow you are the last hope of this planet and you will lose. I know you are not stronger than Gohan and I kicked his but. Now I'm going to take great pleasure in taking you apart piece by piece till there is nothing left of you except an empty shell of a man."

"Well, we'll just see about that. Others have underestimated me too and they paid for it dearly. I think you will too," Yamcha said smirking.

"That we shall see, won't we stupid human?" Dabura said leaving.

Yamcha then felt a hand on his back and turned to his wife standing in front of him.

"Uhm, I just wanted to let you know that I'm proud of what you've been able to do so far. If you win, lose or draw tomorrow, I will always love you," Mai said smiling at Yamcha.

"Thanks but I'll have to win. My future, your future and our son's future. It all depends on me tomorrow," Yamcha said.

"Then you will win, it is that simple, I know you can win. You're stronger than that monster, you just have to believe that you can win and I'm sure that you will come out on top," Mai said.

"Is it really that easy. I just don't know if I can win but I must try to win," Yamcha said.

"No don't try. Win, just win this match, know you will win this match, then you will," Mai said, " I know you will win it."

"Well thanks. Hey, you want to go out and have a big meal tonight," Yamcha said smiling at Mai.

"No, you need some sleep, I don't want you fighting without any sleep okay," Mai said

"Yes ma'am, I'll do," Yamcha said as he left with Mai.
