Chapter 14: Goku vs. Tajo In the First Round of the Real Tournament
Once the word 'Begin' came out of the ref's mouth everything went black for Goku for a minute. He stepped backwards as he shook his head. Then Tajo's fist came straight for Goku's face. But he manages to get himself to block the attack. Tajo smirked as she noticed that Goku was getting a little dizzy.
"What's the matter Goku? A little dizzy?" she asked him. Goku closed his eyes tightly and then opened them shaking his head trying to shake away the dizziness. Tajo then lifted up her knee hitting him in his stomach knocking the wind out of him. Goku fell back onto the ring as he gasped for air. "You are experiencing my special ability. My body gives of ki waves to cause my opponent to get dizzy, feel sick, and cause them to black out a couple of times." Tajo said to him. Goku placed his hand onto his head as he closed his eyes. He felt as if his head was being crushed. Throbbing pain kept on pounding in his head. The dizziness got worse and worse as if he was spinning himself around nonstop.
"KAKKAROT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! GET UP!" Vegeta shouted from the ring side.
"What's going with Grandpa? Why isn't he getting up?" Pan asked.
"There's something wrong with him." Goten answered her. Pan looked up at Goten.
"But… what?" Pan asked.
"You don't feel it?" Piccolo asked them all. They all turned and looked at him.
"Feel what Piccolo?" Gohan asked.
"I don't feel anything." Trunks said.
"Tajo's body is giving off ki. This ki isn't something we faced before. It's different." Piccolo stated.
"Like Yuki and Yuma's ability?" Pan asked. Piccolo looked at her shaking his head.
"No nothing like that. They were able to do that by a special technique." Piccolo answered.
"Then what is it?" Vegeta asked rudely.
"Her ki can change powers." He answered Vegeta looking at him.
"What?" they all said a little confused.
"I don't get it either but Tajo has the ability to make her ki cause her opponent to feel as if they were sick." Piccolo stated.
"Great! If Kakkarot feels kick how are we supposed to win this now!" Vegeta shouted. No one answered.
Tajo reached down to grab Goku when he grabbed onto her wrist. Tajo smirked as Goku's grip wasn't as strong as it usually would be. "Feeling a little weak?" she asked him. Goku groaned As Tajo lifted up her hand lifting Goku into the air as he held onto her wrist. "My ki can also cause you to feel weak. My ki can also drain yours without me even touching you."
Goku's hand slipped off of Tajo's wrist. He was about to hit the ground till Tajo lifted up her leg and caught him. His arms and legs hung. The tips of his boots just touched the tile of the ring. Tajo spun flinging him off. He hit the ground rolling groaning in dizziness and pain. Tajo looked at him as he struggled to get to his hands and knees. Once he was on his hands and knees after about trying three times Tajo slammed her shoulder into his side nearly sending him off of the side.
"AH!" Goku screamed as he grabbed onto the side of the ring pulling himself back in. He rested there shaking badly. He felt his ki grow weaker and weaker every time Tajo came near him and every time she touched him. Goku looked up at see her standing in front of him looking down at her.
"Having fun yet Goku?" She asked. Goku glared up at her. Tajo then swung her foot as she spun hitting him in his right cheek sending him to the left. Goku rolled but he caught himself on his feet. Tajo was now running toward him. She jumped up and straightened her right leg. Her foot went into his stomach. Before Goku could fall he wrapped his arms around her ankle with a strong grip and he brought her down with him. Tajo's head hit the tile floor before she could catch herself. She then hit Goku in his causing him to let go of her ankle. She stood up turning to look down at him. "You'll have to do better then that." She said to him. Goku smirked and pointed up as he right temple.
"At least I made you bleed." He said. Tajo blinked. She raised her hand touching the blood running down the side of her face. She growled as she felt the warm liquid touch her fingers.
"And you'll pay FOR THAT!" Tajo reached down and grabbed onto Goku's neck holding him tightly in the air. He placed his hands onto her's trying to pry them off. Tajo smirked as she pulled her left hand to her side and then throwing it forward hitting him over and over again in his stomach. Goku closed his eyes tightly as Tajo's powerful fist kept on hitting him in the stomach. Goku could hear the cheering in the background of all the other fighters and people who seemed to live on this planet cheer for Tajo. They chanted "Tajo! Tajo! Tajo!" Every time her fist hit Goku's stomach.
"Come on Grandpa!" he heard Pan cry at the side lines. "You can do it! You can stop her!"
"Come on Dad! You can't let her win!" shouted Goten.
"Dad! You can win this!" Gohan yelled out. Goku only listened to the cheers Gohan, Pan, and Goten made. He wished Taylor was there to give him support also. He then knew he had to win this so he could tell Taylor how he won.
Goku's eyes shot open as his grip on Tajo's wrist became harder. Tajo's eyes widened as she let go of his throat and he hovered there in the air still holding onto her wrist.
"What the…?" Tajo started but was cut off by Goku's fist.
"Your ki might be able to make me dizzy but, getting support from your family and friends is what feeds my power!" Goku lunged forward at Tajo. He threw blurs of punches to her face and stomach about ten times. He then blasted her away. Tajo hit the tile floor of the ring as she looked up at Goku.
"Oh! Looks like that attack hurt Tajo badly! What do you think folks?" the ref asked as he turned and looked at the crowd who were shouting out "Boo" to Goku. "Wait! Tajo's on her feet again!" he shouted out once more when he noticed Tajo was fighting off Goku.
Goku kept on blocking and dodging her attacks as he stepped backwards. Tajo then swung her leg at Goku's face but he caught it just in time. He raised her into the air and went to slam her down when she placed her hands in front stopping herself from hitting the ring floor. She smirked up at Goku as he looked at her funny. He had almost forgotten that she had another leg till he was hit with it. Goku was about to hit the ground till he placed his hands out doing a handstand. Tajo jumped up about to punch Goku till he did a back flip dodging her attack. Her fist went into the tile floor flinging up rubble and a little bit of dust. She looked up at Goku as he landed on the ground. Her eyes flashed red. Goku stepped back as he heard growling. Tajo slowly stood upright as her eyes flashed red once again. He took another step nearly falling off of the side of the ring. Tajo lifted up her head into the air leveling her fists with her hips.
"You will die!" Tajo yelled out. Energy waves could be seen coming off of her body moving around on the tile floor. Goku looked down. Before he could fly up into the air the energy waves touched the bottom of his boots making him stick to the floor. Goku struggled and struggled to get out but it was impossible. He looked up Tajo who was still looking up in the sky.
"Well ladies and gentlemen. What do you think is going on here?" the ref asked the crowd in the stands.
"SHE'S TRANSFORMING!" Someone in the crowd called out. Goku turned and look for that person but his worries were soon dragged away by Tajo's ki level. It begun to rise, higher then his. His eyes widened. He compared the ki to the ki that Kid Buu had when he faced him. Her ki was much higher. From this point, he knew he was in for it.
Tajo's eyes begun to grow a deeper red as her muscles bulged out. Her hair begun to fly around her face as theki waves continued to surround her. Fangs begun to grow slightlyhanging over her bottom lip. She looked at Gokuwith her head still tilted up in the air.
"Say goodbye to your PLANET!" Tajo disappeared and reappeared with a blink of an eye. Goku gasped as he saw how fast she could move. Tajo's fist hit Goku in the face without him even seeing it. She then slammed her knee into his stomach causing him to wrap his arms around his stomach. The energy waves on the tile floor disappeared as he fell to knees placing his forehead on the tile floor of the ring. Tajo looked down as she smirked with a growling in her voice. "Ready to die?" she asked. Goku looked up at Tajo who was pointing her finger at Goku's head. He closed his eyes ready for his death.
"NO! GRANDPA!" Pan shouted out.
"KAKKAROT! DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP!" Vegeta yelled at him.
"Come on Dad!" Goten yelled holding his fists tightly, "don't give in!"
"Don't die on us Goku!" Piccolo shouted out.
"You can do it Dad!" Gohan called out.
"Come on Goku! Get up and face her!" Trunks shouted out. Goku didn't listen to any of them. He knew that he couldn't fight her. He knew she was to strong for him to finish.
"Dad! Don't give up!" shouted out a familiar voice. Goku's eyes widened.
"Taylor?" he asked softly.
"Dad! Come on! Get up you can beat her! She's nothing compared to what you faced!" Taylor shouted at him.
"But…"
"No buts! Here. I'll let you use the energy I've collected from this thing so far. It should get rid of the dizziness and everything her ki is causing." Goku suddenly felt a burst of power in his chest. This power caused him to jump up into the air as Tajo's attack was launched at the tile floor. She looked up to see Goku hovering there in the air. The burst of energy placed into Goku's body fused with his own causing his ki to rise.
"HAAAAAH!" Goku leveled his fists with his hips powering up all the way to Super Saiyan 4. Tajo watched him carefully as he landed softly on the ground.
"Where… where did you get that energy?" Tajo asked as she stepped back afraid of his new power. Goku smirked.
"My daughter had given it to me. And now… YOU ARE FINISHED!"
