Chapter 16: Goku or Tajo? Who Won?
Goku and Tajo's fight continued. Ki blasts and beams being thrown everywhere missing their targets. Fists being thrown, being blocked, or dodged and the same with the kicks. Everyone watched carefully. Goku watched more carefully then anyone. He was the victim of two of Tajo's abilities and he wasn't going to let it happen it again.
Tajo threw her fist forward but Goku crossed his arms blocking her attack. Tajo wondered how Goku kept on getting out of her trances. It was like every trick she pulled on him he found away to get out of it. How could he? No one was able to get out of it before.
"How can you get out of my trances?" Tajo asked as threw another fist forward. Goku smirked as he brought his forearm up blocking her attack.
"Simple… you're just too weak!" Goku swung his leg up over Tajo's head slamming it on the back of her neck. Tajo hit the tile floor and she hit it hard. Goku jumped backward as he lifted himself into the air. He pulled his hands to his side as he collected energy. The energy he collect went from red to blue quickly. "KA…! ME…! HA…! ME…!" Tajo lifted herself up and out of the tile floor shaking her head a little. She leaned back onto her hands looking up at Goku. "HAAAAAA!" Tajo smirked as Goku threw his hands forward. The Kamehameha Wave left Goku's hands and went toward Tajo extremely fast. Tajo stood up onto her feet as she smirked at the attack coming toward her. Goku raised an eyebrow at Tajo. He didn't understand what she was smirking about. He didn't quite understand it.
Suddenly, Tajo kicked the Kamehameha Wave with her right foot. Goku's eyes widened as his attack disappeared into the sky. He looked up in shock. He didn't know anyone who could do that. Not one person till today. Goku looked down at Tajo… but she was gone. He looked around nervously nearly shaking because he didn't know where he could find his enemy.
Then, there was a scream behind him. He turned and Tajo hit him in the face. Goku's head was tossed to the right as Tajo's fist rested up against his left cheek. Goku hit the ground hard flinging up little pieces of the tile floor into the air. Goku shook his head looking up at Tajo to see she was gone again. He quickly got to his feet. He then heard a voice echoing all around him and the ring.
"Where am I? Hmmm… I wonder if a saiyan can find me." Tajo laughed. Goku looked around nervously again. He then took a deep breath letting it out slowly. He closed his eyes. His arms rested by his side as he kind of leaned forward.
"KAKKAROT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! THIS ISN'T TIME TO SLEEP YOU MORON!" Vegeta shouted from the ring side.
"Shhhh!" Pan said hushing Vegeta up. Vegeta looked at her almost glaring as she continued to stare at him without one ounce of fear inside of her. "He's trying to listen!" she yelled in a whisper. Vegeta looked forward smirking understanding what Goku or Kakkarot in his eyes was doing.
Goku continued to breathe slowly… keeping his body calm. His eyebrows slightly twitched as he heard footsteps running across the tile floor. He smirked. Suddenly Goku's eyes shot open jumping up into the air. Tajo's fist went into the ground where Goku once stood. She looked up at him as he turned around facing Tajo doing a flip landing a few feet away from her. Tajo stood upright as they both looked at each other.
"You're quick." She said to him. He lowered his head slightly and smirked.
"Thanks." He said. Tajo smirked as well as she tilted her head downward slightly. The two were again in a staring contest. Then, they both of them disappeared reappearing high above the ring floor, nearly touching the clouds. They're battled continued in the sky where no one could see nothing but two little black dots going at it.
Tajo swung both of her legs toward Goku. He lifted up his forearms blocking her attacks. He then turned his arms grabbing onto Tajo's ankle. Goku smirked. Tajo smirked backed as she leaned forward grabbing onto Goku's head slamming her forehead against his.
"ACK!" Goku shouted as he let go of Tajo's ankles placing his hand onto his head. She smirked as she lunged forward. She made a fist with her right hand and placed her left hand onto her right. She turned her body to the side. She then thrusted her elbow into Goku's stomach causing his body to jerk forward. She then shot up slamming her head at the bottom of Goku's chin. Goku's head went backwards onto his back as his body did a slight half flip. Tajo reached out going to grab Goku's leg when he quickly disappeared. Tajo's eyes widened as she begun to look around nervously. She then heard his voice echoing around her.
"Where am I Tajo? Can you find me?" He asked as his voice trailed off into the sky. Tajo continued to look around. She wasn't able to close her eyes, relax her body and just listen because she was slightly panicking and she didn't know how to calm herself down. "HAH!" Tajo turned around to see a ki blast going toward her. The blast hit her stomach causing her body to jerk forward. She then disappeared into the sky as Goku reappeared smirking. He started to hover himself down toward the ground landing on the matt gently. The ref came off of his platform walking over toward Goku.
"It seems that Tajo is no where to be found. Team Earth is the…" Tajo fist cut off of the ref as it hit Goku in the face. Goku fell back sliding almost on the tile floor. Tajo looked over at the ref.
"Not yet there buddy." She said. The ref nodded his head and he returned to his platform. Goku wiped off the blood slowly dripping down the side of his mouth as he raised himself into the air.
"That was quick." Goku said to Tajo, "want to finish?" he asked. Tajo smirked as she crossed her arms.
"I'll finish you… any… DAAAY!" Tajo planted her feet onto the tile floor. A blast of red energy started to surround her as Goku stepped back a little. Her eyes went completely white as if there was no soul in her, just an empty body. She begun to grow bigger to the point where she was three times bigger then Goku. She started to grow claws and longer fangs. Her muscles were a lot more visible now. Goku looked up at Tajo as his eyes widened. Tajo was looking up in the air laughing as she turned her head downward toward Goku.
"Aw man… I'm in trouble now." he said. Tajo smirked.
"With a capital T." she added as she reached out. She then swiped Goku with her hand about the same size as him. Goku was hit in the back as he bounced up off of the ground. As his body lifted into the air Tajo threw her hand downward placing it onto his back throwing him into the tile floor of the ring. Tajo started to chuckle as she lifted her hand up to see Goku's bad resting in the crater the shape of Tajo's gigantic hand. Goku slowly lifted his body up shaking his head gently shaking out the dizziness and pieces of rubble that laid in his hair. Goku slowly got himself onto his knees and then to his feet. He turned and looked at Tajo who was waiting for him. "Ready?" she asked.
Goku smirked, "anytime." He answered. Tajo charged forward. she then swiped him again but this time Goku turned grabbing onto her gigantic fingers. He lifted her it the air trying to stay on his feet without falling. He then swung down as his body was lifted into the air. "HAAAH!" he shouted. Tajo hit the tile floor. She smirked as her left hand grabbed onto Goku and started to squeeze him. His arms tightly by his side bending the way they're not supposed to bend.
"Die!" she shouted out as she lifted her other hand grabbing onto him as well. Goku tossed his head back as pain short threw his whole entire body. He felt like very bone in his body was breaking into pieces. He wouldn't doubt it if it happened. "HAH!" Tajo then threw him onto the ground.
"RAAAH!" Goku shouted in pain as he closed his eyes tightly. His arms out by his side and his legs spread apart. He was unable to move his body. In fact, he couldn't even feel his body. Tajo looked down at Goku waiting for him to get up but he didn't move. The ref removed himself off of the plat form and over toward Goku's broken body.
"One…! Two…! Three…! Four…!" the ref started counting into the microphone. "Five…! Six…! Seven…!" as the ref drew closer and closer to ten Goku's eyes suddenly shot open and he lifted himself to his feet. The ref quickly moved out of the way back to his safe point on the platform. "The fighter is up on his feet! The battle continues!" Tajo started to growl as she stared into his eyes. She saw determination and confidence.
"You're quite confidence in yourself I hope you know." Tajo said smirking. Goku crossed his arms only able to see his body slightly.
"Yeah I know. But that's what keeps me going!" Goku lunged upward to Tajo's face kicking her underneath her chin causing her to fall backwards. Goku raised himself higher into the air. He made sure the ref and everyone else could still see him. Goku smirked as he held his hands in the air. Tajo shook her head as she looked up to see Goku hovering there in the air. She stood up onto her feet laughing at him almost.
"What are you doing? Praising your god?" she asked as she gave a slight laugh. Goku smirked as he shook his head.
"Nope." He answered. Then a blue energy ball started to form that hovered above his hands a few inches. "You're going to get the chance to experience my greatest attack." Goku said to her. Tajo raised and eyebrow confused at first when the ball budged out again. Tajo's eyes widened as she took a step back.
"You can't use that!" she shouted, "you'll kill us all!" she added. Goku continued to smirk as he shook his head.
"No it won't kill me or my family… it will only kill you." then he started to think about it for a minute. "And it will destroy the ring floor and I think that's it!" With that said Goku threw his hands forward and the blue energy ball slowly made its way away from his hands. "SPIRIT BOMB!" When the bomb was out of his hands it suddenly picked up tremendous speed toward Tajo. She held out her gigantic hands and closed her eyes tightly.
"No!" she shouted as the Spirit Bomb forced her arms out to her side. It touched her body and exploded.
Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, Pan, and Piccolo were tossed away from the ring as they saw a bright light. Once pan hit the ground she lifted her head up closing on eye as the wind whipped around.
"GRANDPA!" Pan shouted out. Gohan appeared next to her wrapping his arm around her trying to keep her on the ground. Goten grabbed onto the grass on the ground as his body was being pushed by the strong winds. Vegeta and Trunks hit the walls of the circle around the fighting area and Piccolo was standing up with his arms crossed in front of his face.
"DAD NO!" Goten shouted out as his eyes closed and his body was pushed up against the wall. Gohan wrapped his arms around his daughter's head as he looked away closing his eye tightly trying to search for his father's ki… but… he didn't find it within the bright light of the Spirit Bomb. Vegeta looked at the bright light blinding him. He turned his head away then he looked back.
"KAKKAROT! IF YOU LOSE! I'LL BEAT THE HECK OUT OF YOU WHEN I SEE YOU IN THE OTHER WORLD!" Vegeta shouted out. Piccolo was pushed back onto his back. He lifted his head as he looked at the attack that started to stir inside as it continued its assault on the ring.
"Goku… I hope you're not dead." Piccolo said to himself. Trunks was doing the same thing as Gohan with his eyes tightly closed.
"DAD!" Trunks yelled over the roaring of the attack. Vegeta looked over at his son as he looked at him. "I can't sense Goku's ki!" he shouted out. Vegeta looked forward.
Suddenly the wind stopped and the bright light disappeared. Gohan turned his head to look as Pan made her way out of her father's grip. Goten looked forward with his eyes widened. Piccolo got onto his feet as Vegeta and Trunks pulled themselves out of the wall they were thrown into. Gohan and Pan got onto their feet as they all walked forward.
"Who won?" Trunks asked as he searched the dust hoping to find an SSJ4 Goku.
"I don't know Son." Vegeta answered as he stared.
"Let's hope it was Goku and not Tajo." Piccolo added as he crossed his arms. Gohan nodded his head.
"I agree with you Piccolo." Gohan said. Pan shook her fists lightly as she stared into the dust.
"Come on Grandpa… you never let us down before…" Pan said to herself.
"Come on dad…" Goten said softly. The crowd started to chant for Tajo.
"TAJO! TAJO! TAJO! TAJO!" they chanted. The ref started coughing into the microphone as he looked into the dust.
"Well it looks like…" the crowd stopped as they saw a small figure slowly standing up.
"Grandpa?" Pan said excitedly. But to her disbelief… it wasn't. It was Tajo. Everyone on Team Earth mouths dropped opened. "How… how did she…?" Pan wasn't able to finish her question considering she was in shock. Then there was another small figure standing up.
"Looks like both of the fighters are at their feet!" the ref shouted. The dust started to settle showing Goku and Tajo standing on their feet both back in their normal forms. The Tajo's eyes closed and she fell forward. The ref looked at her knowing she was dead. The ref looked at the crowds around them and then stepped into the middle of what remained of the ring. "Team Earth has one! They proceed to the next round!" Pan threw her fists into the air and jumped.
"YAY GRANDPA!" She shouted. Goten threw his hands into the air smiling happily.
"All right dad!" he shouted out!
"You did it Goku!" Trunks yelled.
"Way to go dad." Gohan said. Goku looked over at his team with one eye closed. He smile weakly and placed his hand onto his head.
"Yeah… it was difficult… but I did it." He said to his team as he walked off of the ring.
"You had all of us scared for a minute there Grandpa." Pan said placing her hands onto her hips. Goten's hand came down onto his niece's shoulder.
"Pan's right." Goten said. Goku nearly fell over but Gohan and Goten walked over to him wrapping his arms around their necks helping his stand up.
"Congratulations Saiyans." They turned to the right and saw Moritor. "I wonder if you'll be able to beat Team Aquan. If you even make it that far." He added walking away. The gang glared at him as they watched him walk away.
