" Start. "
As soon as the signal was given, many competitors began to run towards each other. Immediately, the Hulk felt a ki-blast created by Kabbe hit his chest. Still, roaring, he didn't seem to be hurt at all. Instead, he started running towards the members of Universe 12 and placed his fists above his head, before bending them forward. Avoiding him, Tokoyami and Kirishima saw the green giant's fists strike and pulverize the ground.
Then the green giant felt Ida's knee hit his face. Barely stepping back, as his nose squashed, the green giant reached out his hand to grip the boy's leg.
However, before he could continue his assault, the Hulk felt Garou's foot hit him, throwing him aside.
" I will start with you. " Affirmed the fighter of Universe 4.
Roaring again, the Hulk ran to Garou and attempted to punch him. Too fast for him, Garou dodged each of his punches, before managing to nudge him that pulverized his rib cage. Gritting his teeth, as his feet slid back, the Hulk finally opened his eyes, before punching Garou. Dodging again, Garou saw him hit the ground and taunted him.
" Too slow, stupid gorilla. "
A column of fire suddenly passed between the two adversaries. Attacking each other, Bergamo and Natsu also engaged in a fierce fight, while Bergamo attempted to slash his opponent with his claws. Countering his attacks, with his flaming fists, Natsu then took a step back, before inhaling a lot of air.
" FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR ! "
Seeing the attack heading towards him, Bergamo leapt into the air, and let the flames pass between the Hulk and Garou. However, once in the air, he was defenseless, as Run appeared behind his back.
Creating many sharp feathers around him, he let them fly towards Bergamo. However, a figure positioned itself in front of the wolf. Seeing her comrade in trouble, Vikal came to defend him by creating several ki-blasts that pulverized Run's feathers.
" It's a battle royale. " The young woman reminded him.
" SOUND BAZOOKA ! "
Being hit by a violent ultrasound, Vikal and Run screamed while feeling like their eardrums were about to explode. Seeing that he had managed to touch the duo, Zebra chuckled. Then, again concentrating energy in his mouth, he created red lines from high-frequency vibrations.
" VOICE CUTTER ! "
Seeing the attacks rushing on them, Run and Vikal regained their senses in extremis and managed to flap their wings to avoid the attack.
" Grrr! You little… " Vikal growled, creating a ki-blast. " Take this. "
" And here's a supplement. " Assured Run, creating new feathers.
" SOUND BAZOOKA ! "
The three attacks collided, creating an explosion that Goku could see. Seeing several more explosions, the Saiyan felt the adrenaline rush through his body. Despite the danger of defeat, Goku was excited to fight against powerful opponents.
" OK, here we go." He announced, leaving the group.
Seeing him do, Piccolo, his back turned to Goku asserted.
" I know it's impossible for you to stay still ! However … "
Stopping, Goku heard him give him advice.
" Goku ... for once, show no mercy to your opponents! Whatever happens, it's either us ... or them! This time around, you won't be able to save your enemies. "
Standing still, Goku had made his smile disappear as a serious face replaced him. Finally, nodding, he declared.
" I will not forget it. "
Then he left.
Immediately, imitating him, Vegeta, Bardock, Android 17 and 18 did the same. Then, finally, Cold and his two sons left the training.
Seeing this, Muten Roshi sighed.
" Misery! Almost half of us left It was predictable. "
Seeing no one stopping the saiyans, Pakuihan looked surprised.
" You do nothing to stop them! I thought we all had to fight together. "
" Be happy that our group has more than half of our workforce. " Piccolo remarked.
Then turning his gaze behind him, he saw Cell, standing like an I, his eyes closed.
" And you ? What will you do ? Don't you want to fight like Goku? "
Knowing full well that he was talking to her, the android opened his eyes, while declaring.
" Yes ! I am going to fight ! But only against opponents that will interest me. "
Continuing to stare at him, Piccolo finally declared.
" Cell ... you are in no way an overpowered warrior like before! Even if it took me many years, I am now at your level! So imagine the number of opponents who are able to defeat you. "
Just smiling, Cell asserted.
" Just ... I have a sudden desire to be massacred! I hope these fighters are strong enough to pulverize me. "
" You want to use your regeneration. " Understood Tenshinhan.
" Indeed ! And, after this tournament, I really hope I got strong enough to… "
Feeling a hand grip him at the neck, the android saw Gohan, right in front of him, as the boy screamed.
"Cell… no matter what, you will never be able to surpass the power my father has now acquired ! Moreover, whatever happens, be sure of one thing: even if you manage to become a hundred times more powerful than my father, I will always find a way to outclass you, even if it means giving up my life. "
Attempting to struggle at first, Cell then gave the saiyan a confident and, strangely, cheerful smile.
" Yes, Gohan! I love this look! I too make you a promise: whatever happens, I will force you to fight against me! I want to face you again. "
Simply growling, realizing that talking to him was pointless, Gohan finally let go of the android's neck. Behind the green being, Trunks cried out.
" Cell, in order to be sure to protect my mother, I will not go back home immediately, until you and Frieza are back in hell. "
Just looking at the saiyan, Cell smirked.
" And what are you going to do if I am mean? Are you going to punish me? Trunks, if you want to kill me, it's now! Because if we win this tournament, I assure you that you will never be powerful enough to defeat me. "
Nevertheless, preferring to focus on the current situation, Cell analyzed the people around him, while trying to find the perfect opponent to fight.
"I must find an opponent strong enough to hurt me, but weak enough to have no chance of destroying my life core! Anytime he wounds me to death, I would come back and fight, just stronger."
Feeling a great deal of tension, Krillin sighed. Then, turning around, he saw Buu clapping while being amused by the explosions he could see. Looking at the other fighters too, Broly seemed amazed to see so many people. Until now, he only remembered his father's face and no one else. Other than himself, Broly felt like he hadn't seen anyone in his life. Seeing so many people made him a little stunned.
For his part, tightening the belt of his outfit, Yamcha finally exclaimed.
" We would do well to attack too. "
" What ? " Krillin wondered.
" Me too, I want to prove my worth. " Yamcha announced, finally walking away from the group.
" Yamcha, wait. "
Too late. Landing on a rock, Yamcha scanned the surroundings, before finally seeing Akame. Smiling rather stupidly, Yamcha exclaimed.
" Rather cute! Let's not be too brutal with it. "
Descending from her rock, Yamcha began to run towards her before screaming.
" Sorry my beautiful, but you will be the first eliminated. "
However, at lightning speed, Akame left her position to find herself right in front of Yamcha.
" What … ? "
Tilting his head back in extremis, the warrior felt Akame's sword cut off part of his hair. Then stepping back, Yamcha tried to dodge the murderer's weapon several times. Creating a ki-blast, he hurled it against the sil, to create an explosion of smoke. Blinding Akame, he took the opportunity to jump back. But he didn't even have time to touch the ground when a second figure appeared. Getting punched in the back, Yamcha screamed in pain, feeling Leone's claws slash his back.
Then finding himself in front of him, Bulat gave Warrior Z a powerful kick, which was thrown against a boulder. Spitting blood, Yamcha opened one eye to see Akame about to strike her sword down on him.
" It's finish. "
" NOOOOO ! " Yamcha frightened.
Suddenly, Akame took a step back, to avoid being crushed by a figure which landed between Leone and Bulat. Appearing thus, Vegeta reached out his hands towards the duo and created two energy beams.
" GARLIC GUN ! "
Jumping, Leone managed to dodge the attack, while Bulat was hit. Stepping back, he felt his feet slide back several feet. His abdomen charred, he then dropped a knee to the ground. Having pushed him back, Vegeta transformed into a super saiyan and created a multitude of gusts of winds which lifted various rocks, thus showing the strength of his aura.
Seeing this, Leone and Akame looked at each other, before deciding to back down. Running towards Bulat, they saw their friend get up, before running away with them.
" Tsss! " Growled Vegeta. " You cowards! "
Then, turning to Yamcha, he roared.
" If you don't want to be serious, leave this field immediately, loser. "
Feeling Vegeta's words pierce his heart like a dagger, Yamcha did not know what to answer. Either way, not expecting an answer from him, Vegeta set off in pursuit of the warriors of Universe 9.
Letting his cloak move to the rhythm of the explosions, Saitama stood still, his face still stoic. Beside him, Genos couldn't help but stare in all directions as his sensors attempted to list the powers of all the other fighters.
" Sensei… I capture the energy of many mighty warriors! What are we going to do ? What strategy should we adopt? "
" Strategy ? " Saitama wondered.
At that moment, Saitama tilted his head from side to side to avoid three knives that had just been thrown at him.
" Hum ? "
" Not bad. " Dores remarked, walking towards Saitama.
Pulling out his sword, the Warrior of Universe 2 moved into a fighting stance, while shouting.
" Bald man, I challenge you! A one-on-one fight. "
" Me ? " Saitama wondered. " It would be a shame ! I don't really want to kill you right away. "
" Don't take confidence just because you avoided my knives. " Roared Dores, jumping.
Finding himself high in the air, the cook created multitudes of sharp winds that swirled towards Saitama. Hitting the hero, as well as the ground, the attacks forced Genos to retreat, as a large cloud of dust rose. Attacking like this for several seconds, Dores then let himself land on the ground, before running towards the cloud of dust.
Concentrating his energy in his weapon, he caused flames to appear that covered his blade. Remembering the hero's exact location, he ran in her direction. However, before he could break into the smoke, he was surprised to see Saitama come out as his fist landed right in front of his face.
" What … ? "
" NORMALLY PUNCH ! "
Punched in the face, Dores let go of his sword, as his body flew back. Surprised, all the gods and kais saw the warrior leave the field and fly over the void, before finally disappearing.
" What … ? " Pell wondered. " Dores…? "
At that moment, the warrior's body appeared beside him. With a punch, Saitama had smashed his nose and four of his teeth, and knocked him unconscious as blood flowed all over his face.
" Dores-san is eliminated. " Announced the high priest.
Seeing his "opponent" being eliminated in this way, Saitama stood still, his fist forward. Coming back to him, Genos saw fit to congratulate him.
" Congratulations, Sensei. "
However, far from being cheerful about his victory, Saitama eventually left.
" I was sure of it. "
" What's up ? "
" I could never again meet a fighter who could force me to fight seriously. " Saitama said.
Running forward, Goku rushed towards Toppo, who was fighting Metalzang. However, positioning himself in front of him, Sea King dominated the Saiyan in size.
" I would not let you pass, pathetic human. "
Clenching his fist, he punched Goku. Crossing his arms, the saiyan took the attack. Nonetheless, the strength of the Fishman forced him to take two steps back and feel tremors in his arms. Still smiling in amusement, Goku asserted.
" HEHE ! You will be perfect to warm me up. "
" Are you kidding me ? " Sea King roared, preparing to hit him a second time.
Unfortunately, a large hammer flew in his direction and hit him in the face, causing him to fall backwards.
" What … ? " Goku wondered.
Suddenly a figure appeared in the sky and Goku could see Iron man concentrating his energy in his hands before bombarding the saiyan with ki-blasts. Seeing the attacks, the warrior quickly created an energy shield with his aura to protect himself. Blocking the first attacks like this, Goku then put his two fingers on his forehead, before teleporting. Finding himself on top of Ironman, he kicked the top of his head, causing the armored man to crash into the ground.
Preparing to create a breaking wave, Goku nevertheless saw the strange hammer that had struck Sea King come back like a boomerang, and was caught by Thor. Being flying towards Goku, the man pointed his hammer in his direction.
Crossing his arms again to block the attack, the Saiyan felt Thor hit him hard with his hammer. At first, Goku thought he could take the blow without a problem. Still, he let out a real cry of pain, feeling an electric current going through him all over his body.
" Do not underestimate the power of my weapon, Son Goku. " Cried Thor, pretending to hit him a second time. " He controls the elements, including lightning! And he's indestructible! Flash, he's for you!
Like a beam of light, the hero raced towards Goku before appearing behind his back and giving him a powerful kick that made him flutter across the field. Rolling several times on the ground, Goku stopped before staying on the ground. Nevertheless, feeling an energy, he opened his eyes before getting up to dodge, in extremis, the sword of the Flashy Flash.
" Missed ! " Growled the Universe 4 fighter.
Just staring at him, Goku ran his hand over his cheek, and noticed that the man had been quick enough to cut his face all the same. Seeing blood on the back of his hand, the Saiyan smiled, as the slightest trace of fear in him was replaced by adrenaline. The tournament had started twenty seconds ago, and he had already been knocked down.
All the fighters around him were warriors who deserved their place here.
" Hehe ! This feeling of fear has not been felt since my fight against Zamasu! But no question of being stupidly eliminated! "
Preparing to attack him again, Flashy Flash stopped as he saw Goku transform into a Super Saiyan.
" Tsss! So, is this the weapon of the saiyans? I must admit that I find this transformation interesting! However, know that coloring your hair will not be enough. "
Simply smiling, Goku moved so quickly that he found himself in front of his opponent, who barely had time to see him move.
" What … ? "
Getting ready to punch him, Goku was surprised to feel a fist hit his fist to deflect the direction of his fist. Brushing Flashy Flash's face, Goku remained still, while Bang appeared in front of his comrade.
Having used his fighting technique, he deflected Goku's fist by hitting his arm and, now Goku's stomach was defenseless.
" WATER STREAM! PIERCING FANG ! "
Hitting Goku's abdomen, the old man created a shock wave, which moved Flashy Flash's clothes and hair. However, frowning, the blond had seen Goku used his second arm to place him in the path of Benag's attack. Feeling like he felt vibrations attempting to shatter the bones in his arm, Goku winced a little. Yet, causing a golden aura to appear around him, he created powerful gusts of wind, which made his two opponents recoil.
Jumping on two rocks, Flashy Flash and Bang returned to fighting position.
" This guy has reflexes and superhuman strength. " Bang affirmed. " I expected no less from Goku-san. "
" I agree ! After all, I would have been disappointed to win too easily against him, after spending ten years of my life training tirelessly. "
Seeing them do this, Goku saw the figures Obuni, Starjun and Cobra appear around him, while all knew who Goku was and his power.
Simply placing his hands back, Goku focused his energy, before creating an energy beam that he launched towards his opponents.
