Chapter 45: Goku vs. Borox, BEGIN!

Goku and Borox waited anxiously for the ref to say one word; 'begin.' That's the word they waited for. It seemed like their seconds turned into minutes and their minutes turned into hours and so on and so forth. But the ref had finally said the word.

"BEGIN!"

Goku and Borox lunged at each other. They threw their fists forward letting them collide. From the force of their punches they might've broken a few of their fingers or knuckles. But that didn't stop them from continuing their battle.

Goku pulled his hand away getting down low trying to swipe Borox off of his feet. But Borox had leapt into the air seeing Goku's attack. Goku looked up growling as Borox came down towards him with his fist stretched outward going to hit Goku.

But Goku did a few backhand springs dodging Borox's fist. Goku landed on his feet leveling his elbows with his hips as Borox pulled his head out of the rubble of the ring. The two of them glared at each other. They wanted to defeat each other. That was the only way that they were going to save their home planet. But, that seemed to be the only reason why they were fighting to the people on the outside looking in but what about the inside looking out?

Goku wanted to kill Borox for hurting his daughter. Borox was a sore loser from Goku's point of view. He considered Borox to be nothing. He couldn't believe that he would sink as low as to kill a young girl at the age of thirteen. He wanted to kill Borox.

Borox had no personal reason to kill Goku. But he wanted to just kill him. He didn't like to lose, especially to a race that has been reduced to two full bloods, about five half breeds, and one quarter breed. He sure as heck knew that he wasn't going to be brought down by Goku. He was going to make sure that he brings down Goku.

Borox lunged at Goku. "HAH!" he shouted as a burst of energy suddenly appeared around his body. Goku waited for his opponent to approach. When the time was right, he was going to attack.

Borox through his fist forward towards Goku, but Goku had instantly blocked his attack. He then hit Borox with an attack of his own. He slammed his head into his chest knocking the air out of his lungs causing him to gasp for air. As Borox breathed heavily for oxgyen, Goku took this as his chance.

"HAH!" Goku powered up to his super saiyan form and attacked. He threw his fist into his stomach and then his knee into his face. He grabbed onto the back of Borox's neck stopping him fromflying into the air. He lifted him upover his head and then slammed him face first into the ground.

Borox pulled himself out of the ground with blood rushing down his nose. Borox felt a warm liquid appear in his mouth. He turned his head and spat spitting out blood. He turned his head to look at Goku who stood there looking serious. His fists were tightly clenched by his side. The cheerful, outgoing personality that you would see in his eyes disappeared and replaced with a serious one.

Borox smirked as he wiped the blood off of his face that trickled down the side of his mouth. "Nice hit."

Goku kept silent as he watched Boroxget to his feet. "To bad that's the only hit you're going to land on me."

Goku smirked, "you sure about that?"

Borox nodded his head as he turned and looked at him. "I'm pretty sure."

Goku let out a small laugh, "you see Borox, I believe I'm going to beat you because you've messed with my daughter. And that's the worse thing you want to do."

Borox smiled evilly, "good, I wanted to get you mad. I wanted to see what you were truly made of."

Goku leveled his elbows with his hips. "If you wanted to see what I'm made of you could've… ASKED! HAAAAH!" Goku screamed out in rage as he skipped super saiyan forms two and three and jumped right to four. Goku's tail flicked behind him. His yellow eyes spelt out the word death for Borox as energy roared around him.

Borox smiled, "that's great. Now I can show you what I can… DO! HAAH!" Borox began to power up. Goku watched seriously as he watched his opponent's power increase.

Borox's biceps grew bigger and his chest muscles grew causing him to lose his shirt. His hair flared around in the energy around him as his eyes turned white. He smiled as his hairhad continued to fly within the energy, it flew till the energy broke away.

"HAAAH!" Borox shouted once more lunging at his saiyan opponent.

"HAAAH!" Goku screamed out afterwards lunging at his Aquan opponent. Goku and Borox through their fists forward missing each other due to them dodging it. Goku then kneed Borox's stomach. But Borox bounced right back by slamming his head underneath Goku's bottom jaw. Goku's bottom row of teeth clamped against his top lip causing it to break open and gush with blood.

Goku stumbled back wiping the blood off of his lip that had entered his mouth. He leapt into the air dodging Borox's energy attack. Borox then reached up grabbing onto Goku's foot. He smirked and then laughed evilly as he slammed the saiyan hard into the ground. He then brought him over his shoulder and slammed him into another part of the ring and then into the same spot before.

Taylor watched as her father was thrown around like a rag doll. Taylor ran to the ring edge nearly stepping up onto it if her brother, Goten didn't stop her. She watched in horror as her father was pounded on.

"DAD!" Taylor cried out with tears forming in her eyes.

Borox then lifted Goku out of the ring. Goku's arms hung by his head as he was held upside down. Bruises and dust marks covered his body. And Goku's eyes were closed.

"DAD!" Taylor cried out again. Borox looked over at the saiyan girl and smirked. He turned and held her father out towards her.

"You want him? Come and get him." Borox said to her. Taylor growled as she clenched her fists.

"Only if you were my opponent I would kill you!" Taylor screamed out at him. Borox laughed nearly dropping Goku's lifeless body.

"Yeah! Right! You're father couldn't even handle me!" Borox yelled at the girl.

"Think again." Came Goku's rough, and serious voice.

"Huh?"

Borox looked at his opponent. Goku's eyes were still closed but he was smirking. His eyes then shot open as he lifted up his hand. "HAAH!" He shouted out launching a ki blast at his chest. Borox cried out in pain as he dropped Goku. But Goku landed on his feet like a cat watching as Borox stumbled back gripping his chest.

"You little…" Before Borox could finish what he was saying his mouth met with Goku's fist. Goku snarled and growled as he then grabbed onto Borox's head flipping his body over his head slamming him onto the ground behind him.

Goku landed on his feet turning to look at Borox when suddenly Borox slammed his head into Goku's.

"GAH!" Goku screamed out in pain as his forehead began to bleed. Borox then grabbed onto his face and threw him into the air. He pulled his hands to his side and then through it upward.

"HAH!" Borox cried out launching an attack at Goku.

Goku opened one eye to see the attack speeding towards him. Goku knew if he didn't think of something quick that attack could kill him. Goku then pulled his body into a halt as he pulled his hands to his side pressing the bottom of his palms together.

"Ka… me… ha… me…" Goku's hands were pushed outward as the blue energy of the Kamehameha Wave began to form. "HAAH!" Goku shouted out as he launched his attack at Borox's sending it right back at him.

Borox's eyes widened as he was then hit by the attacks. His back arched as he screamed out in pain. Goku closed his eyes as his body plummeted to the ground. Borox and Goku's body laid there on the tile of the ring completely unconscious. Taylor began to call out for her dad.

"DAD! DAD!" She screamed out.

"DAD!" Kotari screamed out afterward. The two girls watched as the bodies of their fathers began to shake as they forced themselves up. Kotari and Taylor watched as their fathers got to their feet.

Goku was hunched over with one eye closed breathing heavily. As Borox was hunched back a little panting like he was a dog. "What's the matter Goku? Tired?"

"Nope, what about you Borox. You look a little pale."

"You wish." Borox snarled at Goku as he only smirked. Then the two fathers then picked up where they left off.

Goku dodged a series of punches from Borox as Borox did the same. Borox then landed a hard and powerful punch to the saiyan's stomach. Goku stumbled back trying to catch his balance. But that quickly ended when Borox came from nowhere and kneed him in the face knocking him to the ground.

Goku clenched his eyes shut in pain as it rushed through his body. He had taken a beaten from his opponent who he used to call friend and ally. But that quickly came to an end when his 'supposed' daughter came from the darkness she was in and told them what he had been planning. He had teamed up with Moritor to try to kill his daughter so he could win the tournament.

'That sicko.' Was all came to Goku's mind when he thought about what he tried to do to his daughter.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU TAKING YOUR REVENGE ON ME SAIYAN!" Borox shouted at his weak opponent. But Borox had no right to talk about who was weak and who wasn't. He was weak himself. He had to force his body to fight against this saiyan opponent.

Borox's hand came down onto Goku's face lifting him into the air. Goku hung in his grip motionlessly as Borox's grip became tighter and tighter. "You'll never have what it takes to defeat me! NEVER!" a ki beam began to form. Borox was about to launch it when…

"DADDY!" Taylor screamed out to him. Borox turned his head looking at her. Taylor stood there by the sidelines of the ring with her brother holding her back from getting onto the ring to stop Borox. "PLEASE! DON'T KILL HIM!"

"Pathetic race!" Borox screamed out at the girl. "Brought down to their knees just over their father! That's what happens when you breed with earthlings." Borox snarled.

Taylor's tears continued to form as she turned her attention away from Borox and then onto her father who hung in Borox's tight grip. "Please dad! Don't give up now! Earth needs you! Mom needs you! You can't lose! Earth's destruction is hanging in the balance! Please father! Don't give up! We all need you! PLEASE!"

"Scream out to him all you want Taylor!" Borox shouted at the hybrid. "No matter what you say will get to his ears!"

But little did Borox know, every word that was spoken to Goku he could hear quite well. He was just too weak to respond. He tried to fight back against Borox's grip but he just didn't have the energy to do it. Everything that his daughter had told him was true. Earth did need him. Chichi, his wife, did need him. And Earth's fate was hanging in the balance of this fight. It's hanging in the balance of every fight.

Goku managed to find a little bit of energy in his weak body, just enough to finish Borox off. "Hey… Borox."

"Hm?"

Goku suddenly through his hand forward hitting Borox with a ki beam in his chest. Borox screamed out in pain as he let his opponent drop the floor. Goku turned his head enough to watch Borox stumble back, he then collapsed.

"Both fighters are unable to battle! The match is a tie!" the ref shouted out.

"DAAD!" Taylor screamed out jumping up onto the ring knowing that it was the end of the battle. She ran to her father's side picking up his head in her arms. Goku's eyes clenched close in pain as she lifted him up slowly. "You fought well dad." Taylor said.

Goku managed to open one eye nodding his head. "Y-Yeah."

"Here." Taylor said reaching into her back pocket pulling out the bag of senzu beans. "There is only a couple left, but enough to feed you one." Taylor was about to plop the senzu bean into his mouth but Goku shook his head.

"Nuh-no." he said refusing it pushing it away. "No matter how many senzu beans you feed me, it still won't be enough to cure the wounds I had gotten from this battle."

Taylor nodded her head understanding her father. She wrapped his arm around her neck and then her free hand around his waist lifting him onto his feet. She carried him slowly off of the ring gently placing him into her brother Goten's arms.

"Gotcha dad." Goten said as he gently walked Goku over to a spot that he found comfortable in the grass and laid him down. Goku smiled at his children who huddled around him. He looked at Taylor.

She was the last one who needed to fight. And since his battle came out to be a tie… everything was left up to her. Goku lifted up his hand and instantly Taylor grabbed a hold of it. He gripped her head as tight as he could and smiled.

"Boo…" he said weakly. "You're the last one." He said.

"I… I know." Taylor said softly as she looked down.

"Don't be pressured. Think of this battle as any other training session with me. Don't think of it as it may possibly be earth's last fighting chance. Do your best… and win." Goku said to her.

Taylor nodded her head, "I intended on doing my best anyway dad. We've come too far to give up now."

"That's my girl."

As Borox's body was brought off of the ring and settled into the grass. Kotari thought about the battle that laid a head of her. She had to fight Taylor next. She inhaled and exhaled slowly trying not to get nervous. She knew that Taylor was a strong fighter, and a skilled one also. But she didn't want to fight against her best friend. Since Borox's battle came out to be a tie… everything was settling onto this match.

"Will the last remaining fighters step up onto the ring!" The ref called out into the mic. Both Taylor and Kotari got support from their teammates as they stepped onto the ring looking at each other.

"Fighters ready?"
