Chapter 7: Elimination Round 2: Goten and Piccolo's Fight
Goten and Piccolo stepped up onto the ring. Zola and Caya then stepped up. Caya smirked at Goten, but he just looked away. Zola and Caya were the only two girls from the team they were going against. The ref looked at Goten.
"Fighters! Face your opponent!" he shouted. Goten face forward at Caya who had lifted her hands up in front of her face. Piccolo glanced at Goten.
"Don't worry, we can beat them." He said. Goten nodded his head.
"I know that much… but… they're girls." Goten stated as he looked at Piccolo. Piccolo looked at Goten with his arms crossed.
"Stop being a baby Goten." Piccolo stated.
"Fighters! Please remove all weighted clothes!" Piccolo removed his hat, shoulder pads, and his cape and tossed them to the side. Zola removed her top shirt and reveal a halter top under it. Caya removed her earrings and let down her aqua color hair from her ponytail. "Fighters are you ready?!" Goten got into his stance as did Piccolo, Zola, and Caya. "Begin!" Caya and Zola disappeared as did Piccolo and Goten. Taylor looked up at her father who stood there with his hands firmly on his belt watching closely.
"Dad." Taylor stated. Goku looked down at her. "When we go against Kotari's team… I think we're going to have a problem." Taylor added. Goku blinked a few times.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"There's no way we're going to have a problem, girl!" Vegeta shouted from next to her. She glanced at him as Trunks placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Dad, let her talk." Trunks stated. Taylor looked at Goku as Gohan and Pan moved closer.
"Kotari's dad Borox, has been coming here since he was my age." Taylor stated.
"So that would mean this tournament has been going on before I was born." Gohan stated.
"How does that create a problem?" Pan asked. Taylor looked at Pan.
"Well first Borox has been winning ever since he first came here with his sister and who ever else they had on their team." Taylor told her.
"And that gives them more experience." Goku stated as he looked down at the grass.
"Why worry about it now?" Vegeta asked rudely. "We'll worry about when we get to them." He added. Goku nodded his head as he looked back at Goten and Piccolo's battle.
Goten was having a hard time dodging Caya's attacks since she was so fast. Goten blocked most of her punches with his forearms but he missed one. Caya's fist came down underneath Goten's elbows and slammed into his stomach. Goten's body jerked toward Caya. She lifted up her leg as she slammed her heal into the back of Goten's neck slamming him into the ground. Caya disappeared and reappeared standing in front of Goten as he started to lift himself up off of the tile. Caya put her hands together as she raised them into the air over her head. Goten shook his head as he looked up. He closed his eyes tightly preparing himself for Caya's attack when Piccolo came out of nowhere and crossed his forearms in front of his face as he blocked Caya's attack.
"Get up Goten!" Taylor shouted. Goten looked back at her. He then heard someone coming toward him. He looked over to see Zola flying toward him with a bloodily nose, he knew that Piccolo had done that since he was having a hard time against Caya. Goten flipped backwards as Zola's fist went straight into the ground. She looked up at him and smirked. Goten steadied himself on his feet as he raised his fists ready to fight. Zola balanced herself back onto her feet as she walked toward Goten. She then disappeared and reappeared in front of his face. She grabbed onto his neck as she lifted him into the air.
"Your cute… but to bad you have to die." She stated to him as she lifted up her hand calling energy to it. Goten smiled.
"Nope… not me!" Goten then kicked and hit Zola in her face. She went sliding across the tile floor flinging up small little pieces of rubble.
Piccolo was then tossed onto the ground when Caya hit him in his stomach. Piccolo sat up with a little bit of blood coming out of his mouth. Piccolo jumped to his feet when Caya lunged toward him. Her fist slammed into the ground as Piccolo landed on the ground. Caya smirked at Piccolo.
"Why are you fighting for earth when you're a Namekian?" She asked him. Piccolo spit a little bit of blood onto the floor of the ring.
"Wouldn't you like to know." Piccolo answered her. Caya smiled and crossed her arms.
"I'm not going to get it out of you before I kill you huh?" she asked. Piccolo's smirk grew bigger.
"Who said you were going to kill me?" he asked her. Caya lowered her arms.
"I gave myself permission. Now, let's get on with the fight!" Caya and Piccolo lunged at each other. Piccolo dodged all of Caya's punches by ducking and jumping backward. She then threw a punch that came in sideways but he disappeared in time. Caya blinked as she looked around. She looked at her partner to see her dodging all of Goten's attacks with a simple movement of her head.
"HAH!!! Destructive Wave!" Piccolo launched his attack from the sky. Caya looked up as she jumped backwards and Piccolo's attack hit the ground. Piccolo lunged downward toward her as he pulled back his fist. Caya lifted up her foot as Piccolo's fist hit her foot not evening knocking her down. She smiled at his pathetic attack and she jumped up spinning and hitting Piccolo in his right cheek sending him flying off of the ring. The ref stepped down from his place on the ring and begun to count as Piccolo laid there on the ground.
"One! Two! Three!"
"Don't even bother counting. I snapped his neck." Caya stated as she listened to the ref count.
"Four! Five! Six!"
"Come on Piccolo get up!" Gohan shouted out to him. Goten blasted Zola away as he disappeared.
"Seven! Eight!" Goten reappeared by Piccolo as he picked him up and placed him on his shoulder. "Nine!" Goten disappeared and reappeared on the ring. "The fighter is back in the ring! Continue the match!" The ref shouted out.
"What?! Are you kidding me!" Caya shouted out as she threw her hands into the air. Goten had his right hand on Piccolo's back keeping him from falling off of his shoulder. Zola walked up to Caya.
"We can win this." Zola told her. Caya looked at her. "The Namekian is out cold and possibly dead leaving his partner no defense against both of us." She stated. Caya smiled as they both looked at Goten. They lunged forward. Taylor ran to the side of the ring.
"Come on bro!" Taylor shouted out.
Goten's eyes widened when he saw both of the girls flying toward him. He begun to dodge their attacks the best that he could with Piccolo still on his shoulder. Zola bent down and swung her feet underneath Goten. He jumped up and Caya swung her fist toward his head and Goten bent backwards watching as her fist went clear across the air hitting nothing. Goten then balanced himself back on his feet as he continued to dodge all of their attacks.
Zola then disappeared leaving Caya behind to attack Goten. Zola reappeared behind Goten as she gather up her ki and shot toward Goten hitting him in his back.
"GAH!" Goten was flung forward as Piccolo came off of his shoulder and Caya caught Goten holding onto the side of his arms tightly as Zola walked toward Piccolo lying there on the tile floor. "LET GO!!" Goten shouted. Caya shook her head.
"No way! Not when we're about to win!" She shouted back. Goten opened his fists as he called ki to both of his opened hands. He then launched them both hitting Caya in her stomach knocking her to the tile floor. Goten looked over at Zola who had her palm pointed at Piccolo about to launched a ki beam at him.
"HAH!!" Goten lunged toward her slamming his shoulder into her back causing her fall off the edge of the ring. The ref disappeared and reappeared where Zola fell off from.
"One! Two! Three! Four!" Goten reached down and picked up Piccolo again throwing him over his shoulder once again. "Five! Six!" Goten knew that Zola was the least of his worries. When he slammed into her he knew that he hurt her back bad and there was no way that she could get up from it. "Seven!" then Caya slammed her shoulder into Goten side as he felt someone else slam into his other side.
"AAH!!" He shouted in pain as they both pushed harder trying to break his ribs.
"The fighter is back in the ring!" The ref shouted. Goten's eyes widened. He knew he was in trouble now. With Piccolo on his shoulder possibly dead, he had to fight Zola and Caya on his own when…
"HAH!!" Zola was blasted away as the weight on Goten's shoulder was removed. Goten fell to his knees as he looked over to see Piccolo standing up like nothing had happened. He then turned and blasted Caya away. Piccolo grabbed onto Goten's arm as he lifted him onto his feet.
"Are you all right?" Piccolo asked. Goten nodded his head as he winced in pain from his sides.
"Yeah but I should be asking you since you were the one that was nearly killed." Goten stated as they turned now standing back to back.
"I'm fine, she just knocked me out." Piccolo said. Caya and Zola then lunged toward them both. Piccolo and Goten disappeared as Caya and Zola came to a halt before they slammed into each other. They looked up to see Piccolo and Goten with their hands cupped by their sides calling ki to them.
"HAAAH!!!" They both shouted as they threw their hands forward. Caya and Zola's eyes widened as they saw how strong the attack was as they fused together.
"AH!" they screamed as it hit. The attack gave off a bright light as all the fighters around the ring including the ref and Goten and Piccolo blocked their eyes from it. When they looked there laid Zola and Caya in one crater batter and bruised with their clothes ripped. The ref ran toward them and begun to count.
"One! Two! Three! Four! Five!" Piccolo and Goten lowered themselves to the ground watching them closely. "Six! Seven! Eight!" Caya begun to raise herself out of the dirt as Zola still laid there. "Nine!" Caya was now at her feet. "One Fighter is at their feet!" then he begun to recount. "One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten!" The ref raised his left hand into the air that was the hand closest to the Z Warriors. "One victory for Team Earth!" Piccolo and Goten looked at each other. They could sense how low Caya's ki was. It was lower then a human's.
"Be my guest Piccolo, after all she was the one that hit you in the face." Goten stated as he gestured him to go on. Piccolo nodded his head as he turned toward Caya with a serious face. She begun to back away. Piccolo pointed two fingers at her.
"Destructive Wave!" the yellow energy ball attack went flying into Caya's body exiting out her back. Life begun to fade away from any possible sign of it. The ref looked down at Caya noticing she was dead.
"Fighter two was killed! Second Victory for Team Earth!"
"Yes!" Goten turned to look at Piccolo with his hand in the air waiting for a high-five but Piccolo just looked at him. He smiled and then gave him a high-five. Taylor jumped for joy.
"You did it guys!" Taylor shouted. Pan through her fist into the air.
"Yay Uncle Goten!" she shouted. Piccolo and Goten walked off of the ring as the ref stood in the middle.
"Great job Piccolo." Goku said smiling, "you scared for a minute when you were knocked out of the ring." He added.
"If Goten never came to get me we would've lost this round." Piccolo stated. Goten placed his hand behind his head and smiled.
"Yeah well…"
"You did it bro!" Taylor jumped onto Goten as he wrapped his hands around her. Gohan placed his hand onto his shoulder.
"Good job." He said. Goten looked at him and smiled.
"Yeah Goten!" Trunks shouted as Goten gave him a high- five.
"The next round will continue!" the ref shouted. They all paid attention to see who was up next. "The next fighters! Gohan and Pan from Team Earth vs. Salu and Koli! Fighters! Step onto the ring!"
"You can do it Pan." Taylor stated.
"Knock them out." Goku stated.
"Come on." Gohan said as they both walked up onto the ring as Salu and Koli jumped onto the ring.
"Fighters! Please remove all weighted clothes!" No one removed anything. "Are you ready?" Gohan and Pan got into their stances. "BEGIN!!"
