Chapter 37

Gohan and Vegeta stood staring at each other across the ring. "You're going down brat." Vegeta taunts Gohan.

"I don't think so," Gohan retorts.

"Ladies and Gentlemen," the announcer interrupts. "Get ready for a good fight. In one corner we have the warrior that defeated Cell when he was only eleven years old and then again when Cell was brought back to life, Gohan. And in the other corner we have the husband of Bulma Briefs and great warrior Vegeta."

"That's the last time I let the woman write my intro," Vegeta mumbles to himself. He turns to the announcer. "Let's get on with it."

"All right. Ready Fight!"

In a flash both Gohan and Vegeta faze out of sight and are blurs hitting each other moving fast enough that few of the onlookers could follow their movements. "Man they sure are going at it." Krillin comments from the sidelines.

"Yeah and they haven't even gone Super Saiyan yet," Yamcha adds.

Just as the words left the human's mouth a bright golden flash is seen as Gohan transforms into a Super Saiyan. An unsuspecting Vegeta gets a fist right in the stomach and is soon sent flying into the ground where he makes a nice little crater.

"I'll show him," Vegeta mumbles from the ground. In an instant he ascends to Super Saiyan and then through Super Saiyan 2 to Super Saiyan 3. Vegeta charges Gohan and throws a punch faster than the other Saiyan can follow without transforming further. Vegeta's fist lands hard on Gohan's face and the older Saiyan throw punch after punch and kick after kick at the almost defenseless warrior. Finally Vegeta brings his hands together. "Final Flash." The golden energy hits Gohan square in the face and send him flying into the ring where it explodes creating a huge crater.

Gohan picks himself up from the crater and wipes a little blood from his bruised and beaten face. "Ok so I guess Vegeta doesn't want to do that much of a warm-up." Gohan lets out a scream and ascend to Super Saiyan 2 and then to Super Saiyan 3.

"You'll have to do better than that to beat me brat," a Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta says from above Gohan.

"Ok," Gohan lets out a scream as he ascends to Super Saiyan 4 and pushes his power to the max. In a flash he charges Vegeta and the two are soon fighting faster than everyone but Goku can follow.

"Man Gohan and Vegeta have sure gotten strong," Goku says excitedly.

"Yeah I don't think I ever stood a chance," Goten adds.

Vegeta barely blocked a right hook with his knee and sent his fist back at the younger Saiyan. Gohan raises his arm and blocks the blow. The two Saiyans continue fighting with all their might each trying to gain an advantage. Damn, Vegeta thinks. The kid is still as strong as I am. Out loud he says, "I see you haven't let your training slip but you're still not going to beat me."

"Really?" Gohan returns. "I actually doubled my training. And you're bluffing. You're maxed out as am I." Gohan throws a punch into Vegeta's face and sends him into the ring. "Kamehameha." Gohan shoots the blue beam at the Saiyan Prince.

Vegeta looks up as the beam is flying toward him. "Final Shine," he shouts out and sends the green beam of energy to intercept Gohan's blue one. The two beams intercept each other and push back and forth. First it heads toward Gohan. Gohan pours more energy into his beam and it starts to move toward Vegeta. Then Vegeta pours more energy into the beam and it moves toward Gohan. The two Saiyans pour as much power into their beams as they possibly can. The two beams push against each other directly in the middle of the two warriors neither one gaining any ground. Finally the power output is just too much for the two warriors. The two beams explode sending both warriors flying to opposite ends of the ring where they land unconscious.

"Well this is interesting," the announcer says. "A double knockout. 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8… 9… 10! Well, we haven't had this since Goku fought Jackie Chun. By tournament rules, the first one to get to their feet will be the winner and go to the finals."

Down on the ring floor a battered and bloody Gohan shakily pushes himself up and then collapses back onto the ground. On the other side of the ring a battered Vegeta manages to climb to his feet. "I am the winner," he croaks out and then falls back to the ground unconscious.

"You heard it ladies and gentlemen. Vegeta is the winner of this match. Let's get on with the next one as soon as the ring is repaired.

A few sensu beans and a few hours later Gohan and Vegeta and the others watch from the sidelines as Goku and Videl square off. "This will be quick," Vegeta scoffs.

"Ready fight," the announcer says.

Videl flashes into Super Saiyan and charges Goku and throws several punches into the older Saiyan before the first seconds of the fight. All of them pass though the after image Goku had left behind. Goku appears behind Videl still in his normal form and lands a round house kick to her side. Videl gets up, starting to get angry, and charges Goku with a flurry of kicks and punches. Goku dodges and blocks them all with ease. Finally the two separate, Videl panting hard and Goku not even having broken a sweat.

"I don't get it," Videl says. "I know you're stronger than me but you haven't even had to power up to Super Saiyan to beat me."

"Well you are using Gohan's fighting style," Goku replies. "And I know that one as well as my own. That and you're still new to being a Super Saiyan so it's really draining you."

Just as Goku says that Videl charges him again and throws another flurry of kicks and punches at him. Once again Goku dodges them all with ease. Finally Goku throws his fist forward and lands it in Videl's stomach. Her hair flashes back to its normal black and she falls to the ring unconscious.

"Sorry Videl but Vegeta would kill me if I let you win. And I don't like toying around with you too much."

After a quick ten count the announcer says. "The winner of the match is the former champion of the world Son Goku. He will face off against the man who beat the world's savior in the finals of the World Martial Arts tournament.

Well I got another chapter out. I know it's really late but I just didn't get around to writing much lately. Anyway I hope you like it. Read and Review.
