" Super saiyajin level TWO..how unfair can you get! " Vegeta exclaimed as he flopped onto one of the couches in the
waiting area.
" Oi! Turles! " Goku poked him. He and Raditsu had just given the evil type-3 saiyajin a senzu bean.
" Uh...HUH? " Turles suddenly sat up.
" YAY! You're awake! " Goku applauded.
" Neh. " Vegeta stuck his tongue out, facing the doorway.
Turles blinked for a moment, then smirked at the two saiyajin infront of him, " Kakarrotto, Lackey. "
" HI! " Goku chirped.
" So, I guess I lost huh. " he layed back and put his hands behind his head.
" Yeah. " Raditsu replied.
" Ah well. "
" "Ah well"! HOW CAN YOU JUST SAY "AH WELL" LIKE ITS NOTHING! " Vegeta exclaimed, hopping to his feet.
" I gave it my best and its over now. No point in mulling over it. " Turles shrugged, then broke into a grin, " I
mean, afterall I'd rather lose to someone like my Lackey here than to you and your ego. "
" ... " Vegeta blinked, then suddenly snapped, " HEY!...I could use a nice ego-boost as things stand now and you
know it. " he pouted stubbornly.
" You're no fun with a big ego, Vegeta-san. It makes you potentially destructive to those around you to keep the
feeling going. "
" Hn...it does not! My possible-future self has a healthy ego and he's perfectly fine! Albeit his choice in "oujo". "
Goku's cheeks flushed at the mention.
" Hey! Vegeta? " the announcer poked his head in the room, " You gotta get going, only 2 minutes til the next round
starts.
" Sure. " the ouji got down off the couch and headed out towards the ring. He paused and pointed to Turles, " You,
keep away from Kakarrotto. He doesn't need any of your outside influence. "
" Aw, such little trust you have in me, Vegeta-san. "
" With good reason too. " the ouji mumbled, then headed out into the arena.
" Hn. " Yamcha poked one on of the poles sticking out of the huge pool-like ring, " You think we're supposed to
fight in the water or ontop of these things? "
" On top actually. " the announcer replied.
Yamcha looked up at the flat top of the poles and let out a low whistle, " You know this would be a lot more fun if
I wasn't facing up against Vegeta. "
" ▫HUP▫ ▫HUP▫ ▫HUP▫! " the ouji bounced from the top of pole to pole, " Heh-heh-heh! "
" ... " Yamcha and the announcer sweatdropped.
" Oh. "
Yamcha backed up, then made a running leap and blasted off into the air, landing down upon two of the poles.
" READY? "
" NANI! ALREADY! " Yamcha gawked down at the announcer.
" ▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫ "
" Hnn. " he turned to Vegeta, who was already in a defense position, " Fine. "
" GO! "
" ▫SWOOSH▫ " the ouji burst into ssj2 and disappeared.
" Huh--▫POW▫! " Yamcha paused, then whipped around and blocked a punch from behind. Vegeta knocked him back several
feet and Yamcha tumbled back, bouncing from pole to pole. He powered up and slid down the side of one of the poles, then
swung around and kicked the pole forward, knocking half a dozen other polls down. He jumped just as the one he was holding
onto tipped over. Yamcha landed on one of the poles further towards the edge.
" You know that's not going to do much for you seeing as we BOTH can fly. " Vegeta chuckled.
Yamcha whipped around to see the ouji tilting on one foot as he peered over the side of one of the poles.
" Heh. " Vegeta grinned wickedly and formed a ball of ki in his hands, " GARRIKU HO! "
" WHOA! " Yamcha barely dodged the huge pink blast as it flew by, " ▫WHEW▫ " he jumped back to his feet and ran at
the ouji. Vegeta lept up into the air as Yamcha threw a punch. Yamcha quickly spun on his hand and kicked Vegeta in the side
as the ouji hovered there.
" AARG! " the ouji whinced, rubbing his side. He growled and looked around. Yamcha was nowhere to be seen, " Heh,
think you're so smart eh? "
" ... " Yamcha stood there inside one of the poles, his arms and legs pressed against the walls while he surpressed
his ki, :You really needed to be knocked down a notch man: he said mentally, not wanting the ouji to actually hear it.
" ▫Swooooo▫ " the sound of the saiyajin flying overhead could be heard amplified inside the pole.
:I wonder what my chances of actually being able to knock him out are: Yamcha thought glumly, :I really would've
liked to have gotten to the finals for once too..I'm gonna actually start getting old once the next Budoukai comes around:
" Hm.. " Vegeta poked his head in a nearby pole, " Not this one. " he sent a ki blast into it, blowing the pole up.
" ▫POW▫! "
The area outside Yamcha's pole shook, " WHA? "
Vegeta started going from pole to pole blasting them once he didn't find anyone inside.
Yamcha peeked out of the pole he was in to watch in shock, " Oh you gotta be kidding me! " he pulled his head back
inside and used a ki blast to cut off part of the pole, then picked it up and flew at Vegeta, " HAAAAAAAAAAAAH! "
The ouji glanced back only to be smacked in the head with the pole, sending him spiraling across the ring.
" I did it. I actually got him! " Yamcha laughed in disbelief.
" Heh.. " a grin appeared on Vegeta's face as he continued to hurl through the air. He burst into ssj3 and screeched
to a halt.
" EH? " Yamcha froze.
" KIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI! " the ouji let lose a huge kiai, sending Yamcha flying backwards with 10 times the
intensity of his previous attack. The former bandit slammed into the audiance, then slid down onto the floor.
" OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh! My BACK! " he whinced.
" OUT OF BOUNDS! VEGETA OUJISAMA WINS! "
" BWAHAHAHA! " the ouji laughed triumphantly.
" Yamcha! Are you oh-kay? " Bulma called from several rows up.
" Yeah, I'm fine really. Hahahaha..oww. " Yamcha stood up, rubbing his back, embarassed, " What's wrong with him!
He's going ssj3 against people he KNOWS he doesn't even need to go ssj2 on to make a more even match. Its like he's trying
some last-ditch effort to appear like he's some evil superpower or somethin. "
" My ego's just fine thanks! " the ouji called out to him.
" If its "just fine" then why are you being so freakin destructive! You've been doing it this whole tournament! "
Vegeta shifted around, " Yeah, well, I AM the great and powerful saiyajin no ouji ya know! It's only natural for me
to show off my royal, semeish abilities. " he smirked.
" Uh-huh. "
" THAT IT IS! " the ouji grinned, then flew back down and landed on the floor, going back to normal form. He dashed
over to Goku, " So Kakarrotto, what do you think? I'm pretty powerful, huh? "
" Veggie's VERY STRONG. " Goku clasped his hands together and gave the little ouji a hug, " Congradulations on making
it to the next round, Veggie! " he let go, " Now all you gotta do to fight me in the finals is beat niichan and whoever
wins the match against the Big Meanie! "
" Mmm-hmm! "
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
" MMMMMM! " Goku glomped the smaller saiyajin again, " Oh Veggie I luv u so much! "
Vegeta wagged his tail and hugged back, then attempted to push Goku onto his back only to fail. Vegeta sweatdropped,
" You get heavier recently? "
The larger saiyajin just nuzzled instead.
" Hehhhh! " Turles grinned.
Vegeta twitched, going red, " Shuddup... "

" Wow, he's actually gonna fight a guy the same size as he is, huh? " Bulma said as they sat there watching Brolli
standing in the ring facing a man equal in size. The densetsu didn't look impressed and let out a yawn.
" Well, I guess it's good I didn't win..I might've had to fight HIM. " Yamcha, now in the audiance seats as well,
pointed out.
" Heh, your other opponents may have been easy, pal but you won't find me to be such a pushover. " the snickering
opponent told Brolli, who simply rolled his eyes.
" READY? "
The man made a defensive position.
" ▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫ "
" GO! "
" HAAAAAAAAAA! " he ran at Brolli full speed.
The densetsu lifted his right hand and struck his pointer-finger out at the man's forehead just as he reached him.
The man twitched and fell over, unconsious.
" ... " Yamcha paled, " Now I'm DEFINATELY happy I don't have to fight him. "
The announcer walked onto the stage, " KO! BROLLI DENKITEKI WINS! "
Brolli motioned slightly to the audiance, then left the stage.

" Well, this looks like a semi-normal ring for once. " Raditsu said as he stepped up onto it, then paused, " Why does
that unease me? "
" HAHAHA! " Vegeta laughed confidently, stepping into the ring as well.
" And why are you fighting again right now? Didn't you battle just two fights ago! "
" ... " Vegeta paused, " I'm not completely sure. " he blinked, confused.
" Such a strange tournament... "
" Hey guys, could you step out for a second while I pull the ring cover off? " the announcer asked.
" Hm? Sure. " Raditsu got off, followed by Vegeta.
" ▫SWISH▫! " the cover flew off to expose a ring filled with slimy little worm-like creatures.
" I was wondering if any bugs were going to show up.. " Raditsu poked one of them.
" O...O " Vegeta stood there frozen in place, " Ehhhhhhh...EEEEHHHHHHHHh... " the little ouji whimpered.
" Vegeta? " Raditsu looked over his shoulder.
" EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh... "
Raditsu sweatdropped, " Oh yeah..the worm phobia. Forgot about that. "
" EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... " Vegeta backed up and latched onto Goku.
" How did ototochan get out here all of a sudden? " Raditsu sweatdropped further.
" There there Veggie, it's alright. " Goku hugged the ouji, " You'll be just fine. I promise. "
" Yeah! Of course I will! " Vegeta whipped around semeishly, " BWAHAHA! "
Raditsu took a practice step into the ring.
" ▫SQUISH▫! " green goo splattered out and hit Goku, Vegeta, and the announcer.
" WAAAAAAAAAAAAH! " Vegeta cried out, frantically trying to clean the goo off himself.
" HAHAHAHAHA! Oh this is going to be a GOOD one! " Chi-Chi laughed, whipping out her binoculars.
Raditsu turned to the announcer, " Um, I didn't, KILL-- "
" --no, not at all. That's a special goo these worms produce to keep themselves moving at a faster pace. They're
native to Island 4 and have some of the hardest shells in the world so they won't crack if you step on them. " he said
while using a handkerchief to wipe the goo off his microphone.
The large saiyajin got into the ring and felt the worms moving under his feet with no trouble at all, " Huh...wow,
they're strong. "
" Indeed they are. " he said, walking onto the ring as well.
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
They both looked over at Vegeta, who was now wearing Goku's orange gi top over his own shirt.
Raditsu opened his mouth, " Ah-- "
" --Don't. Say. Anything. "
" ... " Raditsu shut his mouth.
Vegeta hovered upward and over the ring with his feet a foot above the ground.
" Um, alright then. " the announcer scratched his head, " READY? "
" ▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫ "
" GO! "
" ▫FWOOOSH▫! "
" ▫FWOOOSH▫! "
Vegeta and Raditsu simultaneously burst into ssj2.
" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! "
" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! " they flew at each other, clashing several times as their fight led them skyward.
" What's with the shirt? "
" NOTHING. "
" That's not an answer! " Raditsu nearly fell over.
" Kakarrotto simply allowed me to borrow it to keep the worms and goo off.
" Oh. Alright. If you want, we could just keep fighting up here instead of near the worms since you're afraid o-- "
Raditsu nearly bit his tongue.
Vegeta twitched, " I'm not AFRAID of the worms! " he cried out, sending a two-fisted punch at Raditsu causing him to
hurtle downward and into the ring. A burst of goo splattered up from the ring due to Raditsu's impact, drenching the ouji
above.
" Uke. " Turles chuckled.
" MYVEGGIE! " Goku cried out, worried.
" You weren't always so insecure you know. " Raditsu got up, " What's wrong Vegeta! I'll talk it out with you, you
can trust me. "
" JUST GET UP AND FIGHT! " Vegeta shouted, his voice unstable as he continued forming a final flash.
Raditsu did so, " Fine. We don't have to bring it up right now. Doesn't seem like the best place to have a heartfelt
talk anyway. " he smirked, forming a large ball of ki as well.
" HAAAA! "
" HAAAA! "
They let loose their blasts at each other, struggling in a ki-like reverse tug-a-war.
Vegeta burst into ssj3 and Raditsu called forth the rest of his ki. The blasts sparked loudly and those in the
stands started to put their sunglasses on or turn away from how bright the sum of the two blasts appeared, " I'M THE GREAT
AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI! I CAN CONQUER ANYTHING THAT COMES IN MY WAY INCLUDING YOU! "
" VEGETA! "
The blast grew stronger and Raditsu felt his body being pushed further out of the ring. He twitched, " Kuso... " he
tried to push back harder only to feel the ground beneath his right foot was no longer slimy and gooey.
" RING OUT! " the announcer shouted above the sound of the ki clashing.
Raditsu looked over his shoulder and sweatdropped, " Aw man. " he swerved his ki to the left and let go, causing his
and Vegeta's blasts to go flying off into space.
The ouji blinked, " What was THAT for? "
" I'm out of bounds! You win. "
" ... " Vegeta looked downward, then burst into a grin, " WHOOHOO! I'VE DONE IT AGAIN! VICTORY FOR THE SEMEISH
SAIYAJIN NO OUJI, ME! "
" You know you gotta fight Brolli after this. "
" WAHH! " Vegeta fell over, " Oh. Right. "

" Piccolo...where's the ring? "
" I'm not sure. "
Goku and Piccolo stood there in the middle of the arena on Island 2, who's ring was completely absent.
The announcer walked up to them.
Goku raised his hand, " Mr. Announcer, where's the ring? "
" What do you mean--OH! The tiles! " he realized, " The tiles have been removed from the ring to make it more
difficult to tell how close to the edge you are. You see, if you land outside the ring, there electrodes placed at each
corner will let you know via a small shock. "
" Small shock... " Goku trailed off, his tail flicking back and forth. Piccolo raised an eyebrow in concern.
" However, since the only way to receive such a shock is to do so, it'll also serve as an out-of-bounds signal. " he
took off a shoe and leaned it towards the nearby ground only to have the shoe suddenly electrocuted and burst into flames,
" AHH! " the announcer dropped his shoe before the fire could spread.
" HUP HUP HUP HUP! " a nearby arena worker came by and sprayed the shoe with a fire extinguisher.
" Maybe we should lower the setting on that thing. " the announcer mumbled, uneasy. He turned back to the audiance,
" ALRIGHT EVERYBODY! READY FOR THE FIRST OF THE FINAL THREE BATTLES OF THE SPARKING TOURNAMENT? "
Cheers erupted from the crowd. Goku waved happily to them while Piccolo took his hat, cape and shoulder armor off.
" WE HAVE A REAL TREAT FOR YOU THIS TIME! THE TWO FINALISTS OF THE 23RD TENKAICHI BUDOUKAI FACING OFF AGAINST EACH
OTHER IN A DIFFERENT RING! SON GOKU AND PICCOLO DAIMAO JR! "
Piccolo nodded to the audiance in a different direction. Goku glanced over at the area Piccolo was looking in.
" Hmm.. " he blinked, noticing an oddly-hooded figure. He narrowed his eyes to try to see the person clearer in the
bright sunlight.
Piccolo noticed Goku's stare and quickly distracted him.
" READY? " the announcer took his other shoe off simply to rebalance himself.
" ▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫ "
" GO! "
" ... " ▫
" ... " ▫
Goku and Piccolo stood there, staring back at each other.
" You know, when I entered this thing you were the only opponent I was actually wary about going up against. "
Piccolo said, " You're a genius in battle. "
" Aw, thank u Piccy! " the large saiyajin chirped, then narrowed his eyes, " Its going to take everything I have to
beat the Big Meanie tommorow. " Goku said seriously.
" That is if you get past me. "
" I have to get past you. There's no one else who can beat him. " he lowered his voice down to a whisper, " I cannot
begin to tell you how afraid I am for Veggie having to fight him after our battle. I'm so worried that he'll try to seriously
injure my Veggie. Break-a-limb-right-off-my-Veggie's-body-scary, snap-Veggie's-spine-paralyzing-Veggie-for-life-scary,
hit-Veggie-so-hard-Veggie-is-given-brain-damage-scary! " he looked out of the corner of his eye at the little ouji standing
in the doorway of the building, blinking. Vegeta tilted his head to the side and it took all of Goku's willpower to keep
from flying right out of the ring at the little ouji and hold him tightly for a long long time.
" You do know the match has started already. " Piccolo sweatdropped.
Goku looked back over at him, " Hm? "
" ▫SWISH▫! " Piccolo appeared behind him. Goku swung his right arm up and blocked the kick.
" Martial arts tournaments are one of my favorite things, Piccolo. And Veggie's one of my favorite people, that is
why I won't allow myself to lose. " he burst into ssj2. Piccolo put up a ki barrier and Goku flipped over and sent a punch
at it, breaking the barrier instantly, his punch flying through only to be caught by Piccolo's suddenly-expanded hands.
He leaned an kneed Goku in the chin and both of them bounced back.
" HAAAAAAAAH! " Piccolo split off three additional Piccolos and the four went flying at Goku, who jumped back and
sent a kick to one of the Piccolo's backs causing him to fly into the second Piccolo while Goku bounced off them and to the
third Piccolo whom he landed a punch to the gut while teleporting over to the fourth one whom he elbowed in the back. The
four Piccolos fell back into one and the namekian stood back up, slightly dizzy, " You're serious. "
" ▫SWOOSH▫! " Goku started to run around him in circles, creating a large number of after-images. Piccolo zeroed in
on the real Goku and grabbed him from the side. Goku burst into ssj2 1/2 and flipped his body weight, slamming Piccolo onto
the ground.
" ▫GA-ZAP▫! "
" OUT OF BOUNDS! "
" What! " Piccolo gawked. He let out a mental, annoyed sigh, :Over so soon? Figures, it IS Son Goku I'm fighting.:
" But, but how did you know..I mean.. " he stared at Goku, " How did you know that was where the ring ended? "
Goku sat there for a moment, blinking. He burst into laughter, " HAHAHAHAHA! Piccolo, I have been to so many battles
on these islands that I know exactly how big the ring is and where it is supposed to go re-gardless of whether it is visibly
there or not. " he got up and powered back down, " Right now we're on the left hand side, 5 blocks in. There's 25 blocks
total on each side and 25 rows of the blocks. SO! " he got up and started pacing one foot after the other across the
invisible ring, " 23, 24, 2--▫ZAP▫--5! " Goku quickly withdrew his leg from the area that'd just zapped the lower half of it.
" ... " Piccolo sweatdropped, " You gotta be kidding me. " he said bluntly, shocked.
" He does know his Budoukais, Mr. Daimao. " the announcer smiled.
" Uh-huh. "
" So sorry I had to cut you short Piccolo. I would've liked to have kept going but I really need to conserve my
energy for tommorow's battle. That and I can't chance getting hurt before then. "
" Yet you still respect me enough not to go ssj3 and kiai me clear out of the ring in the first 10 seconds. "
Piccolo smiled wryly.
" Haha...yeah. "
The tall namekian sighed, " Very well then. I have other matters to attend to anyway. However, I will be staying to
watch the rest of the tournament. " he then lowered his voice, " That guy broke Gohan's leg on your rescue mission, didn't
he. "
" Uh-huh. " Goku nodded solumnly.
Piccolo narrowed his eyes over at Brolli. He turned back to Goku and muttered quietly to him, " Kick his ass. "
" Heeheehee. "

" Y--you can let go now Kakarrotto. " Vegeta stammered, his whole body glowing bright red. The larger saiyajin had
been holding the smaller one tightly since he'd left the ring 20 minutes ago.
" I don't know what I would do if anything bad ever happened to you Veggie! I do not want him to hurt you Veggie! "
Goku sniffled, rubbing Vegeta's back.
" Hey, I told you, I can handle him. I'll just knock that kusotare out and then we'll go back to the hotel and
have a delicious feast. After that we'll come back tommorow and have a first-class brawl for all to see. Just you and me in
the ring with thousands of people cheering us on as we push our powers to the maximum in a spar of such glory that none
will ever forget it. "
Goku relaxed a bit, " You make the prettiest speeches, Veggie. "
The ouji grinned, " Haha, yeah well, I am rather skilled in setting the mood. "
" Hey, Vegeta? " the announcer tapped him on the shoulder, " Time to go now? "
" Hm? Sure. " Vegeta slid out of Goku's still-tight grip, " I just have to make one little change and I'll be right
out! "

" Oh you gotta be kidding me. " Chi-Chi muttered in disbelief. Vegeta stood there in the ring wearing his little
blue gi.
Bulma sweatdropped, " SOMEBODY'S trying to score points with his "favorite peasant". "
Vegeta waved over to Goku, who just stood there with his pupils widened ten times over and a blank stare on his
face. The ouji nearly fell over.
The ring on Island 9 took up the entire arena, leaving a small section for the drummers near one of the exits. Other
than that, nothing seemed too out-of-the-ordinary about the ring.
" ▫THUMP▫THUMP▫THUMP▫THUMP▫ " Brolli made his way out of the building--Goku letting out a healthy growl of fury in
his direction as he passed--and into the ring.
Vegeta felt a heavy chill as Brolli passed him. The little ouji backed up slightly and Goku burst into ssj1. Vejitto
and Gogeta quickly grabbed each of Goku's arms to prevent him from flying off into the ring to rescue Vegeta in a heroic
frenzy.
" Vejita. " Brolli sadly acknowledged as he stood there across from the smaller saiyajin, " I'm sorry Vejita-chan. I
sincerely don't wish to fight you. But I must if I'm to reach the final battle. "
" Not unless I beat you first! " Vegeta snapped pridefully.
" It makes my heart heavy to see you wearing peasant rags, and it hurts even more to know that this is ultimately the
destiny you've chose. Once your human family's passed away you're going to go off with Kakarrotto to live in some small hut
on that mountain of his and wear those pitiful excuses for clothes everyday. Breaks my heart that I can't do anything about
it. Such wasted potential... "
" Heh, you make quite the bad fortune-teller. There isn't going to be any cozy kaka-hut. What there IS going to be
is a gorgeous space-craft which Kakarrotto and I will use to sail across the universe. And furthermore its ME who will be
incharge of the clothing; royal saiyajin armor and fancy capes; not a single mushy mush-inducing kaka-gi. "
" Then why are you wearing one now? "
" To tick you off. " Vegeta smirked.
" ... " Brolli stood there blankly.
" Is it working? Are you enraged beyond all rational thought? "
" Actually I just feel really depressed looking at you in that uniform. " Brolli honestly responded.
" WAAH! " Vegeta nearly fell over, " Well, fine. At least its causing some negative thoughts! Though that's not
EXACTLY what I had in mind... " he trailed off.
" READY? " the announcer shouted.
" Nnn! " Goku burst into ssj2 and the fusions did the same to keep themselves from loosing their grip.
" Toussan you can't go in there and help Mommy if you do it'll get you both disqualified and then the Big Meanie'll
win the tournament by de-fault! " Vejitto cried out.
Goku twitched slightly and partly calmed down. Vejitto and Gogeta let go of him.
" ▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫BUM▫ "
" GO! "
" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! " Vegeta burst into ssj3, " Heh, you better brace
yourself, "densetsu". When I last fought you I was severely out of practice from behind held captive for two months, but
now its different. Not only am I stronger than ever before but I'm being fueled by the desire to protect my favorite peasant
over there from you and your wicked intent. It's time you know the true power of those of the Royal House of Bejito-sei!
PREPARE TO FACE THE ULTIMATE WRATH OF THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SAIYAJIN NO OUJI! " he called forth his full power and the arena
began to quake beneath him.
" WOOOO! GO TOUSSAN! " Bura cheered, standing on her chair and waving blue and yellow pom-poms in the air.
" Wow... " Bulma gasped in awe.
" The Ouji can do THAT? " Chi-Chi gawked, putting on sunglasses to avoid the bright light from his ki.
" See! Toldja there is nothing to worry a-bout, Kaasan. " Gogeta piped up, patting Goku on the shoulder.
" No...i--it's not enough. " Goku clenched his fists, concerned.
" Huh? " the dance fusion blinked. Vejitto had a similar expression to Goku's.
" FEEL MY FURY AND SQUIRM HELPLESSLY CORNERED AND UNABLE TO DEFEAT ME! " Vegeta shouted proudly.
" ... " Brolli just stood there.
" ... " ▫
" Are, you going to attack or-- " Brolli started out.
" --OF COURSE I'M GOING TO ATTACK! " Vegeta sweatdropped, then glowered and flew at him, " HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! "
as he neared Brolli he slammed his hands together, " GARRIKU HO! " the ouji let loose a huge blast in Brolli's face. The
densetsu grabbed the ki and knocked it off into the sky just as Vegeta teleported behind him and landed a kick to Brolli's
back. Brolli leaned foward and grabbed Vegeta with his tail, swinging the ouji over his head and into the concreate ring.
" AAAHH! " Goku cried out in horror as blood splattered from out of the ouji.
" VEGETA! " Bulma screamed, trying to get out of her row.
" Forgive me Vejita-chan. " Brolli pulled him up off the ground. Vegeta was coughing small chunks of blood and
stomach-acid up, " But I'm not going to go full out on you. I don't want you to die. "
Vegeta snarled and threw a punch across Brolli's face, this time causing a much-more effective hit than the one he'd
caused back on the spaceship, " Heh-heh, that's unfortunate for you then, all the easier for me to beat you! " he shot a ki
blast at Brolli's tail, causing the appendage to lose its grip. Vegeta bounced slightly dizzily up off the ground and kneed
Brolli in the stomach, then grabbing him from the underarms and and flipping the densetsu over. Brolli landed on his stomach
and twisted to the right, jerking Vegeta's left hand loose and grabbing his right wrist with such intensity that the little
ouji let out a howl and relinquished his hold. Brolli burst into ssj1 and jumped to his feet, throwing Vegeta at the stone
wall just before where the audiance seats were. The little ouji landed with a crunch and a squish, sliding down the wall and
leaving a stain of blood behind him.
" ▫THUMP▫ " Vegeta finally hit the ground.
The audiance sat there silently, horrified.
Chi-Chi turned a pale green and quickly covered her mouth in an attempt to keep from throwing up at the sight. She
turned away and did so anyway, unable to hold it in.
" ... " Bulma and Bura were frozen in place, their faces a stark white.
" V-Vegeta. " Bulma squeaked out.
" Mommy.. " Vejitto's eyes watered up.
" B-b-b-but Toussan was..he was..he, he had his ki up so HIGH and.. " Gogeta stammered out, on the verge of tears.
" VEGGIE! " Goku wailed at the top of his lungs, rushing into the ring, " NO NO NO NO NO! OH VEGGIE NO! " he
sobbed, picking the smaller saiyajin up, " OH GOD! NOT MY VEGGIE! NOT MY VEGGIE! "
The announcer uneasily and worriedly made his way into the ring. He walked up to Goku and peered over at Vegeta. The
announcer sucked his breath in at the sight, " We need to get him to the hospital, now. "
Goku sat there, tears running down his cheeks, " Veggie's breathing, but, but he's not moving. And he won't open his
eyes. " he choked out, " I am such a fool! I never should've let Veggie into the ring with the Big Meanie! NEVER! "
" Son Goku.. " the announcer trailed off, then turned to Brolli, " HEY! You can't KILL your opponent pal! That's NOT
what this tournament is about! "
" He--Vejita's dead? " Brolli gawked.
" No but if you'da thrown him any harder he would've been! " the announcer snapped, " He's unconsious and unable to
continue the fight. You move on to the final round. " he said solumnly.
Goku stood up, holding the smaller saiyajin in his arms. Vegeta's breaths were loud and uneven. He started to walk
out of the ring, gently nuzzling the unconsious ouji. He paused and glanced over his shoulder at Brolli, sending the densetsu
a cold glare, " YARO. "
" He'll be fine. Just give him one of your senzu beans and he'll recover right away. " Brolli shrugged it off.
" I'm OUT of senzu beans. "
" ... " Brolli froze, shocked.
Goku turned back the other way and kept walking.

" Yes? Uh-huh..are you SURE? " Bulma was nervously talking on her cellphone as she paced back and forth down the
hallway in the hospital, " Well what if you--yes, yes I understand. Thank you. Goodbye. " she hung up and put the phone away
in her handbag, then flopped down in one of the chairs, " The earliest crop of senzu beans isn't due for another 2 weeks. "
The rest of Vegeta's family along with the others sat there in silence.
" I hate going to hospitals. They're scary and they smell like death. " Vejitto winced.
Goku sat quietly beside him, staring down the hall at the operating wing, " ... "
" Goku-sa? " Chi-Chi reached over to pat him on the shoulder. Goku involuntarily jumped, " Ah...oh. " she turned
her attention back to the hallway infront of her, " Don't worry. The Ouji'll be oh-kay. He's survived a lot of things before
and I'm sure he'll survive this too. "
" Wh--what if Veggie wakes up while he's in there. What if he wakes up and I'm not there and there's a bunch of
strangers poking him with NEEDLES and sharp scary instruments! What if they can't fix him? What if he's hurt in a way that
the senzu beans can't heal? "
" ... " Chi-Chi was silent for a moment, " I don't know Goku-san. But its important that we don't start freaking out
over situations that haven't occured yet. We'll worry about the What-if's if or when they occur. Right now the only thing
we can do is wait and hope that the Ouji'll be alright. "
" You heard him squish against the wall didn't you? It was one of the most TERRIBLE things I have ever seen! "
" Yeah...it literally made me puke. "
" Vegeta Oujisama? " a doctor came up to them.
" YES! "
" YES! " Goku and Bulma answered urgently at the same time. Then blinked and looked over at each other for a second
before turning back to the doctor.
" Your-- " he looked back and forth between them.
" My boyfriend. " Bulma injected. He turned to her.
" He's in stable condition. You can see him in a few hours. "
" Very well. " she nodded and he gave her the room number, then left.

" OHhhhhh, this is seriously nostalgic in the worst possible way. " Chi-Chi shuddered as they entered the hospital
room to find Vegeta in a full-body cast eeriely similar to the one Goku had worn after being beaten by the ouji himself.
Goku waddled up to a seat next to the bed and plopped down onto it. He gently rubbed the little ouji's bruised cheek,
" Veh-gee...I'm going to stay here tonight. "
" What? " Chi-Chi gawked, " Goku-sa you can't do that! "
" I CAN AND I WILL! VEGGIE NEEDS ME AND I NEED TO BE HERE WHEN HE WAKES UP! " Goku stood up, confident.
Chi-Chi sighed, " What I mean is visiting hours are only until 6pm. "
" ...oh. " Goku blinked.
Chi-Chi sweatdropped.
" I'll try and talk to the doctors downstairs and see if they'll let you stay, Son-kun. " Bulma spoke up, her eyes
locked on Vegeta's unconsious form, " I know he wouldn't want to wake up alone with no idea on what happened after he was
knocked out. "
" Veggie wasn't just knocked out. He was smeared all over the concrete. " Goku shuddered, taking Vegeta's bandaged
hand, " Oh Veggie... "
" Right. " Bulma said, worried and frustrated at the situation, " I'll go see what I can do. "

" ▫Squeaka▫...▫squeaka▫...▫squeaka▫... " Goku pushed the empty hospital bed up to Vegeta's, smushing the two
together. He hopped up onto the other bed and took his boots and weighted clothes off, leaving him in just his orange gi,
" You know Veggie, back when I was in the hospital, I was always afraid to go to sleep at night cuz I was stuck in that big
cast and couldn't move...and it smells so sterile and lonely in here. " he said, then brightened slightly, " But, but
sometimes Chi-chan'd sneak into my room after-hours and sleep in there with me and those nights were so much easier for me
cuz I wasn't alone. " Goku layed down next to the ouji. He slumped at the smaller saiyajin's condition and moved in closer,
leaning gently towards the ouji and opening his mouth ever-so-slightly.
" ▫KNOCK▫KNOCK▫KNOCK▫! "
" OOP! " Goku froze. He let out a gasp and backed up, " Ohhhh, I was just a-bout to do something naughty! " his
cheeks went pink, " Uhhh... "
" ▫KNOCK▫KNOCK▫ "
Goku woodenly got up and answered the door, " Y-yes? "
" Hi, I'm here to give Mr. Oujisama his injections. " a doctor told him.
" ... " Goku looked back and forth between the helpless-looking little ouji and the needle the doctor was holding.
" ▫Urrup▫ " Vegeta made a small noise.
Goku's eyes instantly filled with tears, " Oh Veggie! " he turned back to the doctor, " B--be careful oh-kay? Veggie
is the only Veggie I have and if I lost him I would lose everything! "
" Sure, of course sir. It'll take only a few minutes, even less, to do this and then I'll let you and your brother
rest. "
" ... " Goku looked at him, perplexed, " Veggie's not my brother. Raditsu is. Veggie is not even the same, umm,
class as me. We're not related at all. "
The doctor was silent, " Then, he's your boyfriend? "
" WAAAH! NONONO! I AM NOT A-LLOWED TO HAVE NON-PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH VEGGIE AT ALL! NEVERNEVER! " Goku yelped,
going bright pink, " It is not safe for me to even speak a-bout such things. "
" Um, oh-kay? " the doctor sweatdropped, then went over to Vegeta and administered the drugs.
" Ohhh.. " Goku flopped down on one of the chairs in the room, sweating.

" Zzzzz... "
" Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... "
" Zzzz..Zzzzzz...zzZzzz.. "
" ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... "
Goku and Vegeta slept quietly, Goku with one arm over the ouji's chest as if trying to protect him even further
despite the ouji's body-cast.
" ▫Fwwwooo▫ "
" GASP! " Goku shot to attention. There was a large ki just outside the hospital. The large saiyajin slid off the
hospital bed in his boxers and rubbed his eyes. He glanced at the nearby clock, " 2am? " he mumbled, sleepy, " I have rarely
EVER been a-wake at 2am before. " Goku waddled over to the window. He peered out and gasped.
" Kakarrotto. " Brolli glowered up at him from the lawn, " I have come to apologize to Vejita, and ONLY to Vejita.
Where is he! " the densetsu demanded.
Goku fumed ragefully and burst into ssj4, " ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! " he roared out the window at the top of his lungs. The entire hospital quaked beneath him.
" ... " Broli narrowed his eyes.
" HUWAH? " Vegeta shot to attention.
" ▫FWOOSH▫! " Goku instantly powered back to normal form. He promptly closed and double-quadruple-locked the window
and covered it with the blinds and curtians, " V--Veh-geee? " the large saiyajin turned around.
" W...where am...WHY CAN'T I MOVE MY BODY? " Vegeta cried out, frightened.
Goku slid ontop of the machine holding Vegeta's body-cast. He frowned, " The Big Meanie hurt Veggie really bad. And
we ran out of senzu beans so we had to take Veggie to the hosptial. You were unconsious for a long time Veggie. Almost half
a day. I was so worried you'd never wake up again. " he said quietly. The little ouji listened intently. Goku smiled warmly,
" I stayed in here all afternoon and evening and night. I even missed dinner. "
Vegeta glanced over to see the other bed pushed next to his own.
" I didn't, wanna sleep without you so I moved the beds together. " the larger saiyajin admitted. Vegeta's face
flushed, " I was so scared for you out there fighting the Big Meanie. I was so scared he would try something horrible like
this and hurt you and then I'd never get to tell you.. " Goku layed down ontop of the machine.
" Tell me? "
" ... " ▫
" Tell me what? "
" Everyone was worried about you Veggie. Even Chi-chan. I do not think she's mad at you anymore.. " Goku smiled,
changing the subject, " That makes me happy. "
" How long until the senzu beans are ready? "
" Two weeks. "
" TWO WEEKS! " Vegeta yelped, " I, I CAN'T STAY STUCK IN THIS THING FOR TWO DAYS, NOT TO EVEN MENTION WEEKS! "
" I was stuck in one for a whole month after Veggie crushed me in oozaru form. "
" ... " the ouji was quiet, " I'm sorry. "
" It's oh-kay Veggie. I'll stay here and campout with you until the beans come in. "
" AAH! " Vegeta suddenly announced.
" Hm? " Goku looked over at him.
" KAKARROTTO! THE MATCH! The finals are tommorow! T--there's no way they can move me out of here like THIS! "
Goku froze, " Y--you would be all alone in here..p..possibly for the whole DAY. "
" ... " the little ouji looked back at him, uneasy.
Goku slid off of the machine holding Vegeta, " I'll cancel the match. That's what I'll do. I'll cancel the match. "
" DON'T YOU DARE! " Vegeta snapped.
" I CAN'T LEAVE YOU ALL ALONE IN THAT THING VEGGIE! I WAS IN ONE I KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE AND IT IS HORRIBLE! "
" IF YOU CANCEL THE MATCH BROLLI'LL WIN BY DEFAULT! "
" ! " Goku paused in shock.
" Just go to your match tommorow Kakarrotto. There's a tv in here, I'll watch the battle on that. "
" But Veggie the Big Meanie 'n I'll be moving too fast for the cameras to see us. "
" ... " Vegeta sulked, saddened.
" ... " ▫
" Ohhhh. " Goku waddled onto the bed, " If only there was something I could do, if only there was some WAY to get
you to the arena so you can be there with me when I battle the Big Meanie! "
" It's alright Kakarrotto, don't worry too much over it. You need your rest anyway. " the ouji sighed.
" But Veggie it is not fair! I wanted you to be there! Just like I would want to be there if it were you! " Goku
exclaimed, then suddenly let out a gasp.
Vegeta looked over at him, confused, " Kakarrotto? "
" Veggie I got an idea. "

" Ohhhh, where is he? " Chi-Chi said as she sat in the audiance, looking down at her watch which now read 8:42am,
" The match is at 9:00am! If Goku-san doesn't get here in time it'll count as a forfeit. "
" Heeee- there will be no forfeits today! Not from me at least! "
Chi-Chi along with the others all turned to see Goku standing there while carrying something on his back, " Goku-sa!"
she exclaimed.
" YAY! Toussan made it! " Vejitto cheered.
Goku plunked something down into a nearby empty seat.
Chi-Chi gawked at the sight, " Is that... "
" VEGETA! " Bulma finished in shock.
" Hello. " Vegeta greeted them awkwardly, no longer in the machine but still in his cast.
" Oh TOUSSAN... " Bura whinced sadly at the sight. She turned to Goku, " Kakarroujo you beat that Big Meanie good for
what he did to poor Toussan! "
" I will! " Goku said confidently.
" Hey! Goku! "
" Hm? " he turned around to see the announcer out infront of the ring, " Oh! I gotta go. " he turned back to the
others and gave Vegeta a hug, making sure not to hug too tight out of fear of breaking the ouji's cast, " Oh-kay, off I go!
Wish me luck! " Goku jumped over the rest of the rows of seats and into the arena.
" You oh-kay Mommy? " Vejitto asked, worried.
" As "oh-kay" as a person trapped in a full-body cast can be. " Vegeta muttered.
" I bet a ketchup 'n melted cheese covered hot-dog'd make you feel better Toussan. " Gogeta chirped, holding out a
wrapped up hot-dog.
" I'm not sure I'm supposed to eat solid foods while I'm in this thing. " the ouji sweatdropped.
" :( " Gogeta pouted.
" ...let's find out why! " he grinned.
" WAAAAH! " Chi-Chi and Gohan fell over.
Gogeta handed Vegeta's tail the hot-dog, which Nango unwrapped and held up to the ouji's mouth. Vegeta started to
contently eat it.
" Vegeta its because your body's still in a weakened state and a lot of your bones are bruised, dislocated, or
broken! " Gohan explained, still sweatdropping.
" Yeah, I snuck in some regular foods to Goku-san while he was in that thing but even when I did I made sure it was
something mushy or I put threw it in a blender and made it into a shake first. " Chi-Chi added, " But a whole hot-dog! "
" Foot-long. " Vegeta said with pride.
" Actually that's an 8'inch hot-dog. " Gogeta pointed to it.
" I know. It just sounds cooler to say "foot-long". " Vegeta smirked.
Chi-Chi rolled her eyes and Gohan shook his head.
" WELCOME ONE AND ALL TO THE FINAL BATTLE OF THE SPARKING TOURNAMENT! " the announcer announced, " THIS FINAL BATTLE
WILL DETERMINE WHO WILL BECOME THE CHAMPION OF THE SPARKING TOURNAMENT; FAN-FAVORITE, FINALIST IN BUDOUKAI'S 21 AND 22 AND
WINNER OF BUDOUKAIS 23 AND 27--SON GOKU? "
The crowd erupted into cheers.
" Wow, look at all the Kaka-banners and signs. " Vegeta murmured in disbelief. Some people even had t-shirts with
the large saiyajin on them, " ...I want one of those shirts. "
" OR WILL IT BE NEWCOMER TO THE TENKAICHI BUDOUKAI ARENA, BROLLI DENKITEKI? WE'LL KNOW SOON ENOUGH! " the announcer
finished.
Goku stood in his place on the arena, which was fashioned simply as an original 21st Budoukai ring. Brolli walked out
into the ring as well. Brolli glanced out into the audiance and shuddered at the cast Vegeta was in, " VEJITA-CHAN! " he
shouted.
The ouji nearly choked on his hot-dog.
" Serves you right eating solid foods while in a full-body cast. " Chi-Chi sighed.
Vegeta swallowed.
" I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR THE WAY I DEFEATED YOU IN THE RING! I THOUGHT THEY HAD SENZUS ON HAND TO CURE YOU!
ALSO WHAT I DID TO YOU WAS DONE WITH NO INTENT OF MALICE! " Brolli continued.
" Uh-huh. " Vegeta said dryly.
" HOWEVER, WHAT I AM ABOUT TO DO TO KAKARROTTO IS GOING TO BE DONE USING MALICIOUS INTENT AND DEEP-SEEDED
VENGEFULNESS! IF YOU WANT TO CLOSE YOUR EYES OR TURN AWAY OR SOMETHING I'LL BE FINE WITH THAT! " the densetsu finished.
" A-HEM? "
" Hm? " Brolli looked over to see the announcer holding out his hand. He looked down at the microphone he was
holding, " Oh. Ah haha..ha. " the densetsu handed the announcer's microphone back to him.
" READY? " the announcer spoke into his mic.
" ▫Bum▫bum▫Bum▫bum▫bum▫bum▫BUM▫BUM▫ "
" GO! "
Goku and Brolli glowered back at each other.
" I've been waiting for this you know; a chance to finally defeat you. This is the perfect place to do it too,
infront of your family, friends, fans...infront of Vejita. "
Goku twitched.
" Oh you don't have to worry about that, I no longer have any feelings towards Vejita. Infact I landed on this planet
by pure accident due to Vejita reprogramming the ship. After I defeat you, Kakarrotto, I will no longer have any reason to
stay on this planet. I'm going to find a spaceship and leave Earth forever, happy in the knowledge that I brought Vejita's
heroic little princess to her knees. "
" Are you done talking? " Goku said seriously, narrowing his eyes.
" You're in hurry arentcha? " Brolli raised an eyebrow, " Ah well, don't worry Kakarrotto, I won't stretch this out
TOO long. " he burst into ssj1.
Goku did so as well.
The two saiyajin powered up until Goku had reached ssj3 and Brolli densetsu form.
" Errr.. "
" Errr.. "
" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! "
" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! "
The two saiyajin flew at each other, screaming. They seemed to disappear to all but those used to tracking their
ultra-fast movements as they clashed several times up in the air, each easily blocking whatever punch or kick the other tried
to land on him. Brolli grabbed Goku by one of his arms and swung the other saiyajin downwards only to have Goku swerve
himself to the side and land a kick to Brolli's jaw, causing him to let go of Goku's arm. Goku clasped his hands together
and formed a large ki ball. Brolli held his arms out to block it only to have the ball instantly disappear from Goku's hands.
Brolli blinked in confusion then let out a growl as the ball hit him from behind.
" ARRRG! Ooooh. " he grunted in frustration raced after Goku, slamming him into the ground. Brolli held his other
hand above Goku's head, " The first thing I'm going to chop off is your head! "
" KAKARROTTO! " Vegeta cried out.
Brolli's arm came down and Goku thrust his own out, blocking him. He flipped Brolli over him and the two lundged
at each other with a kick.
Goku grabbed Brolli's leg and threw him at the wall. Brolli halted his body right before he hit and let out a
charging war cry as he flew at Goku and swung a punch, hitting Goku in the side of the head. He rubbed the side of it, then
shouted out, " SPLIT FORM! " and three additional Gokus split off of the first one.
" That would make for some interesting situations... " Turles trailed off as he sat in the audiance.
Vegeta twitched.
The four Gokus attacked Brolli, who continued to neutralize their attempts.
A fifth Goku meanwhile appeared behind Brolli and started to power up. He clasped his hands together and ki burst
around them as he swung at the back of the densetsu's head, smacking him.
" Ah...ah.. " Brolli's vision started to blur and he whipped around, half-conscious, " WHY YOU-- " he jumped at Goku
, who lept overtop of him and sent a kick at Brolli's back, causing him to tumble and fall just outside the ring. Brolli
shook his head, trying to stay consious as he stumbled to his feet, " WAIT'LL I-- "
" --OUT OF BOUNDS! "
" Huh? " Brolli nearly fell over, " WHAT! "
" You're, out of bounds Mr Denkiteki. " the announcer pointed to the grass they were both standing on.
" AAUGH! But, but we just started! I barely got chance to beat the pulp out of him! "
Goku grinned, " I knew I wasn't strong enough on my own to knock you out, but I figured it'd send you at least a
little off-kilter if I hit you there. My only chance was to get you out of the ring, and so I took it! "
" THAT'S CHEATING! "
" It's not cheating, it's part of the rules. " the announcer spoke up, " If you're knocked out of bounds, you lose. "
" Yup! " Goku chirped.
" Errrr...FINE! Forget it! All I want to REALLY do is get off his planet anyways. " Brolli folded his arms.
" And I hope that wherever you go I will never see you a-gain! " Goku added.
" Likewise. " Brolli muttered.
The announcer stepped into the ring, " Well, since he's out, that means you win! " he turned to the audiance,
" CONGRADULATIONS TO SON GOKU! WINNER OF THE SPARKING TOURNAMENT! "
" YAY! " Goku pumped his fists in the air and the audiance cheered.
" To congradulate you we at Budoukai Island award you with this golden medal and likewise-golden trophy! " he held
out a trophy with a big "1" ontop of it, " You also get the grand prize winnings of 10,000 zeni! "
" Neh. " Brolli stuck his tongue out, then huffed and turned the other way.
" HEY! YOU DON'T LEAVE YET! YOU'RE 2nd PLACE! YOU GET 5,000 zeni! "
Brolli paused, " Really? "

" And so, our grand ad-venture in tournamenting is over! " Vejitto chirped.
" And now on to our next one! Getting Toussan some senzu beans! " Gogeta happily added.
" I'm pretty sure I heard Kakarrotto say they don't come in for 2 weeks. " Vegeta pointed out while Goku carried
the casted ouji over his head.
" Well, yeah, here, but we can always take a trip to one of the other timelines and get a senzu bean from there. "
Vejitto pointed out.
" Isn't that dangerous? "
" OR you could just lay there for two weeks... " Gogeta trailed off.
" Bulma, give them the keys to the time machine. NOW. " Vegeta said quickly. Bulma sweatdropped.
" I'm just glad you're safe, Goku-san. " Chi-Chi smiled, relieved, " I was really worried there for a second that
he'd beat you up even worse than the Ouji. "
" Hahaha.. " Goku laughed nervously, then looked down at his medal, " Hm.. " he took it off and put it over Vegeta's
head, " There you go Veggie! "
Vegeta sweatdropped, " Th--thank you? "
Goku took one last deep breath of the salty beach air and smiled, " Now let's go home! "
4:35 PM 8/3/2005
THE END
Goku: YAY! I WIN!
Vegeta: And I'm in a full-body cast.
Chuquita: Happy endings all around!
Vegeta: (sweatdrops)
Goku: Say, what's gonna happen to the Big Meanie now that the tournament's over?
Chuquita: Oh, you'll find out a few fics from now.
Goku?
Chuquita: He does leave Earth though.
Vegeta: YES!
Goku: HOORAY!
Chuquita: And now onto the replies!
To Alastair: Glad you liked how Turles was in the chapter. Heh-heh, Raditsu gets a trophy.
Vejitto: Boots:)
To Omnimalevolent: Glad you liked it! He was enjoying the tournament :) Veggie was very thankful, I can't imagine how he'd
deal fighting Turles on his own.
To Kat-YaOi MaNiAc: Glad you liked it! 11 inches is about a body part.
To SupersayiankingTommy: Well, at least he hasn't shown any ssj2 powers yet. Glad you liked the rings and fights!
To Hakura0: True. That does make a lot more sense than sending them from seat to seat. Maybe there is a big tv screen
somewhere.
To Afrodite: So happy you enjoyed the cast. The "mystery Namek" will be revealed in the next fic. I've been thinking of doing
another Piccolo oneshot with the two of them. Yup! Veggie at least got some ego-boost in doing that :) You're welcome, thanks
for reading as well.
To tea: So glad you liked the arena. Well "Sparking/Budoukai Tenkaichi" is coming out this October, so who knows what kind of
arenas will be in it. Also glad you liked Raditsu's match!
To majinbulgeta: He successfully defeated Turles! So happy you like the fic! I'll try!
To Seto Kaiba's My Babe: True. I think Veggie'd act different if he had Raditsu's figure. Turles's ssj2 powers will appear
in the next fic.
To mkh2: Glad you liked it! We're in our 4th heat-wave of the summer where I live, in some areas it got into the 100's today.
Excessive heat-warnings tommorow. You would think she'd be used to it, but she hasn't delt with the volcano in a while, so.
That they are! Oh-kay! Bye!
To GokuGirl:
Vegeta: The addition of "sama" makes me feel better. (smiles)
Goku: (staring at Veggie)
Vegeta: Ah...of course I care deeply about you Kakarrotto.
Goku: (glomps Veggie) ♥
Vegeta: Hahaha..haha.. (starts to flush red)
To GokuGirl: Glad you liked it and Raditsu wearing the cape.
To SSJ2VEGETA: So glad you like my fics! It depends if you're directly borrowing or doing something based off of. Like if
you just call it saiyago but make up your own way of how it looks, that's oh-kay. But if you borrow my style of saiyago
(the whole spanish and japanese mix of short words) I'd like a disclaimer. Thanks for the offer. If I do have a question
I'll contact you. :) I'm happy my fics are inspiring.
To Maria S.: Glad you liked it! Wow, that's an interesting dream. Very cool!
Vegeta: I'm not sure I'd kill Brolli, I'm more concerned with getting him off the planet and far away from me forever.
Goku: (nod) (nod)
To Albino Black Sheep: Glad you liked it! You'll find out in this chapter.
To Orchideater: Hee- yup! You're correct in guessing what she was refering to. :D I looked up several words before deciding
on that name for his attack, glad you liked the choice! Veggie freaks out so easily. At least he does have that. I always
felt bad for Yamcha never making it past the first round in all three Budoukais.
Chuquita: And that's the end of the fic!
Goku: HOORAY!
Chuquita: (to audiance) We'll see you again sometime next week when Bardock, Bejito, and the others attempt a dragonball hunt
to wish back their species to the semi-recently wished-back Bejito-sei under the pressure of being granted only one week on
Earth by Enma-sama to do so.
Vegeta: (sweatdrops) I can only imagine how this is going to go...
Goku: GOODLUCK TOUSSAN AND KAASAN AND VEGGIE'S TOUSSAN AND KAASAN AND NAPPA AND AUNT!
