The Tournament of Power
The Horrendous Tournament of Power is a battle royale between the 8 teams from the 8 universes. The teams gathered on floating platforms in the World of The Void. They heard the rules, the were able to see the other warriors representing the other universes. The Gods of Destruction and the Kai's where allowed one last moment with their warriors to talk strategy.
"Stick together and save your stamina guys" Pell advised the Kamikaze Fireballs and the saiyans. "Fight together when the enemy approaches, remember it's not always power that will decide things but stratagems" Pell advised his warriors. "Don't focus on fighting alone. For a single enemy fight with two. For two fight with three so on and so forth" Pell continued to advised.
"No!" Korn sternly objected much to everyone's dismay. "You can do that but Peppa and I are saiyans. We are proud warriors. You all can keep to that strategy but we will seek out and eliminate the strongest opponents" Korn proclaimed. Pell wanted to object but Vikal butted in.
"I understand, we will keep to the strategy of Pell and we will leave you to act accordingly and trust your judgement as our fellow teammates" Vikal smiled at Korn who looked suddenly uncomfortable.
"Yes, well thank you?" Korn stuttered. Heles noticed any sign of love or affection made their saiyans uncomfortable. "We saiyans don't rely on numbers to fight, leave us to do our thing and you wont be disappointed after all winning is winning and we aim to win" Korn smirks.
"Very well we will trust in you" Sanka Ku replied confidently.
"You sure you want to do that? Give us free reign?" Peppa mocked.
"Yes! For our objectives are the same. Our continued survival. It's because of that I'm sure neither of you will betray us or let anything happen to us if it can be avoided" Sanka Ku walked up to Peppa and tapped him on his nose giving him a cute smile. Now it was Peppa who looked uncomfortable this time around at the display of affection toward him.
"Yeah…" Peppa replied annoyed crossing his arms and looking away. While the teams surveys the arena Peppa notes when he tries to fly he is brought down to the ground. Sour educates the group the area is controlled to prevent the warriors from avoiding ring-out by flying. Sour instructed they will only be able to float for a few seconds before falling within that time they will have to make snap level decisions to save themselves and avoid being knocked out or use this knowledge to their advantage to ring-out their opponents if they're having trouble defeating them.
Korn started to scout the other warriors and notice the more bird type warriors with wings in various other universes were able to fly because it's part of their nature. Sour commented on this as well. Sour also informed them each warrior will also feel the gravity of their birth planet as well. Sour hinted at Heles and Pell it was time to leave the warriors and go to the spectator stands. Sour started to fly away as did Heles and Pell give one last glance back at their warriors.
"I believe in all you and I have every confidence we will win so fight beautifully with the power of love" Heles tells them.
"Remember the universe with the most warriors left over at the end of the 48 minutes wins, so it pays to look out for one another" Pell informs them and looks over at the saiyans. Korn and Peppa notice him staring. Korn nods and Peppa uncomfortably waves off Pell.
Sour offers no words of encouragement. Infact it looks as if he could care less about any of this. Peppa notice this and is disturbed by Sour's detachment.
"You have nothing to worry about, just leave it to us!" Peppa proclaimed in full confidence. Heles looked at her warriors then more closely at the saiyans.
"Don't do anything to bring on shame and disgrace to our universe" Heles gave Peppa a dark look. Peppa glared at her stepping up but Korn held out his hand across Peppa's chest to stop him.
"We wont, you can count on us Heles and thank you Pell for giving us this opportunity. We wont let you down and your faith in us wont be misplaced" Korn informed. Pell nodded to him. Heles just looked away and smiled sweetly at the maidens and their knights. Korn looked back toward Peppa who was eyeing an interaction between Universe 6 and 7.
"Hey are those-"
"The other saiyans of the other universe Pell had mention" Peppa cut him off and answered in disdain.
"What's wrong?" Korn asked.
"They have no tails, their no saiyans they lost their pride. I'll take the utmost delight in defeating them" Peppa gave Korn a wicked smile. Peppa then approached Brianne and Sanka Ku. "Hey I'm going after universe 7" Peppa stated. Brianne and Sanka Ku looked at one another then back at Peppa. Sanka Ku approached and gently grabbed the left arm of Peppa with her left hand and gently squeezed his shoulder lovingly.
"Alright we'll leave that universe to you if the situation allows it" Sanka Ku smiled backing up leaving Peppa feeling weird and uncomfortable. Vikal approached Korn with her arms behind her back with a smile. Korn gave her a funny look.
"I assume you want universe 6 to defeat their saiyans if the situation allows for it Korn-sama?" Vikal winks at him lovingly. Korn gives an awkward smile to her.
"Yes, that is correct" Korn affirmed.
"Will you two be needing any help or assistance?" Su Roas asks in an earnest tone.
"No, we do our best work alone so just stay out of our way please" Korn tells them with a hint of severity in his tone.
"I understand Korn-sama" Vikal smiles sweetly at him.
"You do?" Korn gives her a quizzical look.
"Yes, you and your cousin can't fight to your fullest if you're concerned for our safety" Vikal says in a cute voice her eyes big and round, her hands clasped together as she leans in close to Korn who backs up into Peppa who looked annoyed.
"Yeah that's it…" Korn lies to them awkwardly. Not wanting to hurt their feelings. He looks back at Peppa who gives him a disgusted look as if to say West Kai's teachings have made you too soft. Korn was about to say something when he see's Peppa's eyes dart back over to Universe 6 and 7's chit chat. Peppa suddenly puts his right pointer and middle finger to his forehead and uses his instant transmission to teleport next to the universe 6 and 7 saiyans.
"Hey wait…" Korn tried to say but it was too late. "Damn it…" Korn turns back to Brianne. "Sorry, but I better go reel him in" he informs them. Korn uses the instant transmission to teleport over their.
"Good riddance" Jimeze says in a bitter tone. "I can't believe they defeated Rabanra and Zarbuto" Jimeze says in a spiteful tone. "And casually using the technique of my people which they stole from before killing them" Jimeze burned with anger till Su Roas placed her hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry for your pain, but I believe these particular saiyans aren't that bad. They're just used to being hated and feared for so long they don't know how to respond to love" Su Roas told the group.
"I agree, I believe if we show them the power of love we could-"
"My beloved maidens I mean no disrespect but the saiyan Peppa alone destroyed the namekians and terrorized Yardent's homeworlds cause he believed them to be weak and useless races. There's no mercy or salvation for a person like that!" Jimeze respectfully interjected.
"All the more reason why we need to show them love and trust. So that they may see the error of their ways and see the love and beauty of our universe" Brianne added. The other warriors agreed. Jimeze turned his head bitterly.
As Caulifla and Goku were proclaiming who was the strongest saiyan Peppa appeared between them both and boldly proclaimed himself to be the strongest of the saiyan race. The other saiyans were surprised to see another saiyan from another universe besides themselves.
"Wow, more saiyans! What universe are you from?" Goku asks excitedly.
"Were from universe 2" Korn said appearing next to his cousin. Vegeta looks up and smirks annoyed. The other saiyans looked around at the other groups, one who seemed like they were short two warriors and saw universe 2.
"Your from that universe over their?" Caulifla asked Peppa who looks over and embarrassingly looks back at her and nods. "Not much quantity there" Caulifla smirks.
"It's quality not quantity and unlike the rest of you saiyans we have not lost our pride or our tails" Peppa mocks, his tail uncurls around him and moves on his own. Korn crosses his arms annoyed as his tail slithers out. The other saiyans were silent. Korn noted Vegeta was the one who looked the most wounded as he turns his head away in shame.
"Sis?" Kale said walking up before anyone could add anything to Peppa's comment. Korn took notice of the shy and timid Kale. Something about her disturbed him but at the moment he could not figure out what or why.
"Is this one a saiyan to?" Goku asked trying to lighten the mood.
"Um-m…" was all Kale could say as she turns away shyly. While this was going on the other warriors were roaming around scouting and socializing with other warriors in the other universes. From the stands the gods, angels, and the kais were talking among themselves as they watched their warriors with great interest. In the shadows Frieza and Frost form an unholy alliance. An attendant informs the grand priest that universe 11 has arrived.
A terrifying energy could be felt as universe 11's Pride Troopers appeared. The saiyans turned to face the sudden appearance of the universe feeling their collective might.
"Who are those guys?" Vegeta yells out.
"Universe 7 saiyans are nothing to worry about, their scared of those wimps" Caulifla mocks. Korn and Peppa ignore her as they scan the Pride Troopers. For the first time, both of them have a deathly serious look on their faces. Korn leans in toward Peppa.
"That grey one is going to be a problem…" Korn warns him.
"Agreed, their power level is far higher than The Kamikaze Fireballs" Peppa added.
"Just another universe were going to have to eliminate for them" Korn added, he noticed Peppa got real silent and real serious as he glares at Jiren, The Grey.
"What?" Vegeta yells out to Caulifla with Gohan coming up next to Vegeta to calm him down and act as a buffer.
"Now, now…" Gohan tells him.
"Huh, I'll go greet them" Goku informs the other saiyans.
"Oh dad-" Gohan tried to call out but it was too late. Goku was already in dialogues with Toppo of Universe 11. Toppo and the exchange with Goku did not go well. Toppo said something about bearing the fate of Universe 11 on their shoulders and how they had no time for personal squabbles in this tournament.
"I disagree, if these be our final moments then we might as well enjoy it to our fullest" Korn smirked and whispers to Peppa whom he catches eyeing the beautiful Caulifla. Caulifla is a short girl (slightly taller than Cabba) of slender build. She wears a low cut magenta top, low-set purple harem pants, long dark grey wristbands, and a pair of pointy dark grey shoes. Her hair is long, wild, and spiky. Caulifla's eyes are narrow yet big, with large black pupils, as well as quite thin eyebrows. Korn could see despite not having a tail how she could catch her cousin's eye.
Korn missed a sudden exchange between Goku and Jiren but he felt a sudden and terrifying power before he could analyze what was going on one of the God of Destruction yelled out "Time to pick up the pace!". Floating titles surrounded in a purple aura speed past warriors who jumped and dodged out of the way. Both Korn and Goku notice Jiren dodges without moving. This greatly disturbed Korn who wondered if Jiren simply was confident they were going to go past him or worse he moved so fast he didn't even see him dodge.
Peppa himself could be seen swaying his body dodging the tiles in rhythm in his spot. Korn thought silently to himself "Yeah, this guy is going to be a real problem even for us…" The fighting stage is complete from when the Gods of Destruction tested the arena. The warriors have gathered as they regroup with the warriors of their separate universe as they make ready to start the Tournament of Power.
"Isn't that a yardant?" Goku looks over to universe 2.
"The ones with instant transmission?" Vegeta added as he watches Korn and Peppa glide back over to their universes warriors. "We should watch out" Vegeta adds. Goku and Vegeta look at the other participating universes. Universe 7 notices Universe 4 only has 8 warriors appearing and they wondered where the other two warriors where.
"Now that we have seen the other warriors, you two are free to do as you please" Brianne approaches Korn and Peppa who turn their head to her in confusion. "We trust you two, so fight to your heart's content as you see fit" Brianne smiles confidently at them. Korn and Peppa just smile wickedly.
"Just leave universe 6, 7, and 11 to us" Peppa says with a malicious tone to his voice. Brianne nods then looks back at the rest of her team.
"Once it starts, we stay together and strengthen each other's defenses. If we are attacked we fight together and cover each other's backs" Brianne orders lovingly. The maidens nod and the knights unanimously yell out "You can count on us our beautiful and fair maidens" Korn just shakes his head as Peppa leans in whispering in his ear.
"I hate our universe so much…" Peppa cringes in disgust.
"I know, but it is our universe and we are it's warriors. So it's our responsibility to ensure its survival" Korn says with an excited and bloodthirsty tone.
"And now some gracious words from Zen-sama!" The Grand Priest voice echoes across the arena. Everyone gets silence so they can listen.
"Everybody thanks for coming! We have been looking forward to this everybody! Make it exciting for us!" the two Zenos say in one voice. Peppa leans forward slouching his shoulders with a bewildered look.
"You gotta be kidding me? What are we there entertainment?" Peppa whispers to Korn who just shrugs looking back up at them. A great many things have come to disturbed him about this tournament and its ring leaders.
"Thank you for those wonderful words" the Grand Priest adds and so on the completed battle arena 80 warriors gather to decide the fate of the universes each one fighting for their very right to exist. They will clash to prevent their universes erasure and to determine who is the strongest warrior in the multiverse is. A Hundred taks, 48 minutes of destiny is about to begin...
