Chapter 12: Is it a win? Or a Loss?
"Here we are." Kotari stated as she came to a stop in front of a building. Goku was to busy watching a battle that he had bumped into Kotari. She turned and looked at him and he could only smile.
"Heh… sorry. I wasn't watching to notice that you had stopped." He told her. Kotari smiled back.
"Don't worry about it." Kotari told him. The glassed doors slid open automatically and they walked forward. There on the right and left walls was a row of Regeneration Chambers along the walls. Some of them full and some fighters sitting outside of the chamber waiting for either their loved one of friend. The chambers were just like the ones Goku used on Namek. But a little bigger and they used a green liquid.
"Can I help you?" a man asked as he looked up seeing Kotari. "Ah… Miss Kotari. How may I help you?" he asked. She smiled as she stepped out of the way to reveal Goku holding his daughter.
"My friend Taylor here needs a Regeneration Chamber." She stated. The man smiled.
"Sure. What team is she from?" he asked as he looked down at the papers on his desk.
"Team Earth." She answered.
"Her last name?" he asked as he picked up the piece of paper.
"Son Taylor." Goku answered. He nodded his head as he picked up a pen and marked Taylor's name.
"All right. Now Mister…"
"Just call me Goku." Goku told him. The man sitting at his desk nodded.
"All right Goku… now, I need you to sign here." He said. Goku placed Taylor in his other arm and then signed the paper. "Okay. Now do you need one?" he asked. Goku shook his head.
"No… only my daughter." He answered. The man stood up holding out his arms. Goku hesitated but he placed his sleeping daughter into her hands.
"Thank you. Now Taylor will be placed into Chamber Number 14." He stated as he walked around his desk and walked all the way up to the entry. He stood in front of chamber number 14 with Goku and Kotari behind him. He set Taylor inside once the glass opened up. He placed a black oxygen mask covering her nose all the way to her chin. He brought the straps all the way around to the back of her head and clipped them together. He placed her head on the black pillow inside. He then reached up and pulled down the glass and locked it tight. He then turned to the panel and typed in Taylor's name and pressed the button. Then the tank filled up. He turned around and faced Goku and Kotari.
"How long will she be in therefore?" Goku asked. The man turned and looked back at Taylor.
"Depending on how long she sleeps for of how long it takes for her wounds to heal." The man answered. He turned back and faced them both again. "Now visiting hours from 4 in the morning to 10 at night. Anything before that of after that you need to set up appointments or your planet is automatically destroyed. Goku nodded his head. "I wish you good luck in the tournament." He stated.
"Thank you goodbye." Kotari said as she placed her hand on Goku's back and walked him out of the building. He was worried that when they get into the tournament Taylor might be called to fight while she's still recovering.
"Don't worry Goku, she'll be fine." Kotari told him.
"That's now what I'm worried about." He told her. Kotari removed her hand once they were standing outside of the building.
"Then… what is it?" she asked. Goku looked at her.
"I'm worried that when we get into the real tournament rounds they would pick the fighters instead of us picking them and they would pick Taylor while she's recovering." Goku answered her.
The smoke started to clear up. You could now see the outline of the ref standing on his platform and the glowing light that Yuma and Yuki gave off. The gang watched closely as the smoke slid off of the side of the ring to reveal… Vegeta and Trunks lying on the ground. Trunks rested on his back with his mouth slightly opened showing a sliver of his white teeth. His hair had fallen back to a grayish purple (or whatever the color is). His clothes were ripped and his body was bruised and battered. His right arm was wrapped around his stomach as his other arm was lying next to his face. Vegeta was rested on his left side. His hair had also fallen out of its super saiyan color and went back to black. A bruised slowly started to form on his right cheek that matched his bruised and battered body. His jumpsuit was ripped on the legs and chest area. His gloves were covered in dust and so weren't his white boots turning them a dirty color.
Yuki and Yuma stood there smiling as they looked at the battered bodies of the proud Saiyans. The ref walked off of his platform waving the remaining smoke away from his mouth and nose so he could breathe. He stood right above Vegeta and Trunks's heads as he started to count.
"One…!
Two…! Three…! Four…!" the counted watching them carefully. So
some odd reason he wanted the Saiyans to live and make it to the next
round. He didn't trust this team they were going against, that's
why it was taking so long for him to count. "Five…! Six…!"
"Come
on already! They're both dead!" Yuma shouted as he pointed at
their bodies.
"Don't be so such sister." Yuki said as she placed her right hand on her shoulder. Yuma looked at Yuki as Vegeta and Trunks started to rise slowly off of the ground. Yuma looked at them.
"HEY! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!" Yuma shouted at them. Vegeta was on his hand and knees shaking in pain as he looked up at Yuma with one eye tightly closed.
"It will take a lot more then what you got to kill me!" Vegeta shouted as he jumped to his feet swinging his fist at Yuma. She lifted up her right hand and caught his fist inches away from her own face. She gripped her fingers between his knuckles. Vegeta stood there firmly on the ground as Trunks stood behind him. The ref walked back to his platform not saying anything for the battle had already begun.
"How much will it take Saiyan Prince?" she asked him. Vegeta smirked.
"A lot more then what you can give!" Vegeta answered throwing his other fist at her. She smirked at him as well as she brought up her other hand catching his fist.
"Really? How about this! HAAAAAH!" Vegeta' eyes widened as a gigantic amount of electricity travel down her arms into his fists and up his arms electrifying him. Vegeta was able to scream or make any movement due to the amount of electricity going through his body. He simply shook badly as it continued.
"DAD!" Trunks shouted. He went too charged forward when Yuki appeared behind Vegeta placing her hand out grabbing onto Trunks's face.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"To save my father… now… OUT OF MY WAAAAY!" Trunks powered up with a burst of his gold aura surrounding him placing him back in his super saiyan state. Yuki was pushed back into Vegeta.
"AAH!" Yukie screamed in pain as she was thrown off of his body and hit the ground with her back steaming.
"SISTER!" Yuma shouted as she removed her hands from Vegeta's fists. Vegeta's eyes lost all sign of life as he fell to his knees. Sparks jumped across his chest an out of his body as he knelt there. Steam came off of his shoulders as the sparks continued to jump out. "YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY SISTER!" Yuma shouted charging at Trunks.
Trunks quickly looked in her direction. He ducked as Yuma's fist swiped the air above him. Trunks pushed his legs upward straightening them up as his head slammed into Yuma's chin. Yuma's bottom jaw slammed up against her top lip causing it to open and gush with blood. Yuma stumbled backwards as she lightly placed her hands on her lip. Yuki was on her feet to see the attack.
"Sister… are you all right?" she asked Yuma. Yuma removed her hand as she licked her blood dripping over her mouth.
"I will be when this punk is DEAD!" Yuma lunged forward a burst of purple energy sparking around her body. Before Trunks could doge it he was in the arms of Yuma. She held tightly on his body as she pulled him close. She squeezed nearly breaking his back. Trunks's arms pressed up against his side as he threw his head back resting on his upper back closing his eyes tightly in pain.
"AAAH! GAAH AAAH!" trunks shouted in pain. Yuki looked over at Vegeta who still knelt on his knees with his head resting on his upper chest. Yuki glared over at the ref.
"That saiyan is dead!" Yuki shouted as she pointed to Vegeta. The ref didn't say anything. "Why are you just standing there! He's dead!" she added.
"No he's not!" Pan shouted as she ran up to the ring. Gohan placed his hands onto her shoulders before she could go anywhere.
"I would watch it if I was you!" Yuki yelled as she pointed at her. Gohan walked around Pan.
"Don't threaten my daughter!" Gohan said to her. Goten and Piccolo stood next to Gohan.
"That's my niece your messing with I hope you know." Goten said to her.
"And she's my best friend's daughter. Watch out." Piccolo stated. Yuki stood upright placing her hands on her hips.
"Fine. You don't think Vegeta's dead. Then I'll beat the hell out of him till he is!" Yuki shouted at them as she removed her hands and slowly walked toward Vegeta's lifeless body that stayed on his knees.
"FATHER! AH!" Trunks shouted out in pain. Yuma looking up at him.
"I wonder what will happen if I send through huge shocks of ki electricity like I did to your father." She said. Trunks opened one eyes and looked at her. "Ready? HAH!" Trunks's head tossed front to back front to back as the electricity consumed his body causing him to lose feeling in his body. His finger bones tightened up as the electricity continued to flow through his body. Yuma looked over at Yuki who stood behind Vegeta's kneeling body.
She then placed her hand on his back and called ki electricity to her hand sending a shock through his body causing him to fall onto the ground. Yuki reached down grabbing onto the back of his neck and lifting him up in the air. Yuki then started to slam her knee into the middle of his back over and over again. Yuki then tossed him up into the air. She spun and kicked when she felt her leg being grabbed. Her eyes widened when she saw Vegeta's arms wrapped around her leg before it hit his stomach. He hovered there smiling at her. Vegeta then gripped tightly around her ankle.
"Never again you will do that… WHILE I'M PASSED OUT! HAH!" then there was a burst of golden aura turning him into his super saiyan stated. He spun her around and around till he let go. Yuki and hit Yuma's back.
"AAAH!" the two screamed as the electricity in their bodies clashed and tossed them onto the ground. Yuma let go of Trunks as he leapt backward watching Yuma hit the ground. Trunks and Vegeta looked down at Yuma and Yuki then up at each other smiling. Trunks grabbed onto Yuma's wrists as Vegeta grabbed onto Yuki's ankles. They then started to throw their bodies together causing each of them pain as the electricity jumped from their bodies. The Vegeta grabbed onto the back of Yuki's neck and held her hands behind her back. Trunks did the same to Yuma. They both charged forward. Yuma and Yuki's chests hit each other causing electricity to jump through their bodies violently. Trunks and Vegeta held on as tight as they could as the electricity also traveled up their arms a little.
"AAAAAH!" the two sisters screamed in viscous pain. Vegeta and Trunks couldn't hold it for much longer. They started to lose all feeling in their arms and soon it started to travel around in their body causing sparks of electricity to jolt out.
The electricity appearing in between Yuki and Yuma touched each other. The black and purple light started to fuse and then made a ping noise. Vegeta and Trunks's eyes widened as there was an explosion.
Gohan picked up Pan and turned his back to the ring as the explosion happened. Protecting her from the heat. Piccolo and Goten raised their arms above their heads as the wind picked up speed and dust flew about. Soon during the explosion Gohan, Goten, Piccolo, and Pan were knocked onto the ground. Pan fell out of Gohan's grip and rolled on the ground facing the ring. She covered her head with her arms.
Goku stopped as he saw the black smoke starting to appear in the sky in a mushroom shape. Kotari walked a few paces in front of him till she stopped and turned around.
"What's wrong Goku?" Kotari asked. Goku's eyes started to shake with worriment.
"Vegeta and Trunks… they're in danger!" Goku shouted as he took to the sky flying toward his ring with Kotari running after him. She then lifted herself into the sky.
Soon Goku and Kotari landed to see the gang scattered about on the ground. Goku ran toward Pan as he looked down at her. Dust marks lay on her face.
"Pan! Pan!" Goku shouted as he lifted her head off of the ground. Pan's eyes opened as she sat up.
"Grandpa?" she called as she placed her hand on her head. "When… when did you get here?" she asked him.
"Just now… what happened?" Goku asked her as he helped her up onto her feet.
"I don't know. Vegeta and Trunks were holding Yuki and Yuma together and the two could use their ki as electricity. Once they placed their bodies together there was an explosion and that was it." Pan answered. Goku looked up at the ring to see it was clouded with smoke, very thick and heavy smoke. Gohan, Goten, and Piccolo started to raise themselves off of the ground. Goku ran to the outline of the smoke not daring to step into it for he didn't know where the ring started or if there even was a ring.
"VEGETA! TRUNKS!" Goku called wrapping his hands around his mouth like a horn. "VEGETA! TRUNKS!" he called again but there was no answer. Goku scanned the smoke for any ki. He only found one that scared him a little. He didn't know if Trunks survived or Vegeta did or if one of the fighters of the other team did. But the ki slowly dropped as another slowly begun to appear. "VEGETA! TRUNKS!" Goku called out again. Pan was at her father's side as she held onto his shirt with his arm around her and his hand on her back. Goten stared at the black, thick, and heavy smoke that didn't go anywhere. Piccolo stood there with his arms crossed. Kotari stood behind Goku a few feet away.
"TRUNKS! VEGETA!" Goku turned around to see Kotari was calling out their names too. She walked forward and they both begun to call out the names.
"KAKKAROT! WILL YOU SHUT UP! YOU'RE GIVING ME A HEADACHE!" Vegeta called out as he appeared out of the smoke with his son's arm wrapped around his neck carrying him out. Goten ran over to them holding his arms out. He knew Trunks was to much for Vegeta to be carrying. Vegeta surprisingly handed him over as Goten wrapped Trunks's arm around his neck.
"Team Earth are the winners Moritor." The ref told Moritor. They all turned and looked over to see the ref standing in front of Moritor. He nodded his head as he walked over to them.
"Congratulations." Moritor said. They all stared at him till Goku spoke up.
"Thank you." Goku said with a serious look.
"What's with the look?" Moritor asked.
"You're sick and twisted to be running this tournament!" Vegeta shouted in his face. Moritor placed his finger on his chest and pushed him away.
"Your planet will be destroyed sooner or later. I'm just speeding up the process of it." He told him.
Those words rung in Kotari's head. They sounded familiar… to familiar. Then she remembered, when Taylor watched her battle her brother Guru had said those same exact words to her before she stormed off. It made her think a little. When she was younger her brother would hate to go off on this tournament, but if he didn't they would be a fighter short then what the planet usually has to fight for it. She pondered about it a little. It made her think why he brother loved it so much now. She wondered why Moritor would use those same exact words that her brother used and had said to her friend Taylor.
"Something wrong Kotari?" Pan asked. Kotari jumped looking at her. She looked forward to see Moritor walking away. She then shook her head.
"No… it's nothing." Kotari answered.
"Hey we're going to go visit Taylor, do you want to come?" Pan asked as she pointed behind her. Kotari turned and looked to see Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, Gohan, Goku, and Piccolo on their way there. She shook her head.
"No… I'm going back to the room to relax before tomorrow when the real tournament begins." Kotari answered her as she walked forward toward the hover pod. Pan shrugged her shoulders and caught up with her team. Kotari looked back to see they were long gone. She then disappeared and reappeared in her brother's room.
Guru jumped as he laid in his bed as Kotari approached him. "Is something wrong?" Guru asked her. Kotari nodded her head.
"Yeah there is." Kotari answered.
"What?"
"You." Kotari answered as she poked his chest hard. Guru rubbed the spot where she poked and stood up.
"What did I do?" Guru asked.
"Tell me… why would Moritor use the same words that you told Taylor?" she asked him. He blinked.
"Which were…?"
"'You're planet will be destroyed sooner or later. I'm just speeding up the process.' Why would he tell that to her team?" Kotari asked him. Guru shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know!" Guru yelled at her.
"Whatever your hiding Guru! I will find out what it is!" She shouted as she stormed out of the room. Guru sighed as he tossed himself back onto the bed. Then Loji walked in.
"Did she almost find out?" he asked. Guru sat up and nodded his head.
"Yeah."
