Once Zarbon was standing directly over Sweet Mask's lifeless body, he picked the hero up by his back and legs in a bridal-style fashion. He looked at the rest of the heroes with contempt in his eyes, which they returned with equally hateful stares. "You're all going to die. If someone as handsome as this couldn't beat me, then you don't stand a chance. The Ginyu Force will tear you apart." Without warning, Zarbon's body shrunk, the muscle mass he gained quickly disappearing and his body regressing back to his regular form. Zarbon slowly dropped Sweet Mask to the ground, and left the heroes with a loud scowl.
Once he dropped off Sweet Mask's body to the heroes, he quickly flew to his master. "Lord Frieza! Did you enjoy the fight?"
"Oh yes! You did a marvelous job! Certainly much better than Dodoria..."
"But I have a question. Why were you making all those homosexual jokes toward me?"
This caught Frieza totally off guard. Did he actually had to explain it to him? The practical point of jokes was that you didn't have to explain why it's funny, so why was Zarbon trying to take the fun out of his comedy? It took him a few seconds before he could answer Zarbon's question. "Uhhhh... It's because you're into men."
Zarbon's smile turned into a frown. "What made you think that? Not that I have any problems with gays, but what made you think I was one?"
"Oh come on! I've heard your skype calls to your "girlfriend" named Chuck. And besides, everything about you really just screams that you swing for the other team."
"Chuck is just a nickname we made up because of a funny mistake that happened on our 5th anniversary dinner we had; the waiter called her "Chuck" by accident. Her real name is Charolette."
"Oh. Oh..." Frieza's face reddened, becoming as ripe as a tomato. "Well uhhh..." Frieza rubbed the back of his neck in a awkwardly nervous fashion, his mind as blank as paper. What the hell had he gotten himself into? I mean, to Frieza, Zarbon fit every single category of homosexuality, both stereotypical and non-stereotypical, and any other sane person would reach the same foregone conclusion. So how the hell had he gotten this wrong? And why did it have to be like this of all possible scenarios? He'd never been so uncomfortable in his life.
Just a few feet behind him, Vegeta was about to burst like a balloon with how much laughter he was trying to contain. Even after all of the shit he'd been through, something like this only happened once in a lifetime. The look on Frieza's face was golden, and he cursed himself for not having a camera on his scouter.
"I'm... I'm... I'm..." The words were stuck in Frieza's throat, or rather, his brain, because his brain literally could not comprehend the word he was trying to say. No such word existed in his vocabulary.
"You're sorry?" said Zarbon.
"Yes, that. I think." Frieza sighed and put his hand to his forehead. "It's just that I really thought I had that pegged. Next, you're going to tell me that all of the Ginyu's are straight."
"Uh, my lord, if I may..." Ginyu and the rest of his subordinates had been listening in on this conversation between Frieza and Zarbon, and they couldn't help but hear their names being mentioned by Lord Frieza.
Frieza's eyes widened as big as dinner plates, and he smacked both his hands to his forehead. "NO... NOOOOO..."
"Wait, you thought we were ALL homosexual, Lord Frieza?" said Burter. "I have a girlfriend! And so does Jeice! We go on double dates like twice per month!"
"That's right!" Jeice friendly nudged Burter in his ribcage. "That lady of yours is a real special bugger there, mate! Don't you forget it!" Burter smiled and returned the gesture.
"Oh my god! I told you guys!" shouted Guldo. The team looked at Guldo, wondering what the hell he was talking about. "What, you don't remember? Counting this planet, this is the 27th planet with fighters that have called us queers or homos. Don't you remember I mentioned that in the spa?"
"Oh yea... Recoome remembers that." Recoome put his palm to his forehead and stared at the ground in bewilderment. "My god, is that really the impression that we give? I mean, Recoome doesn't have a problem with gays either, but Recoome just feel that if people think we're gay, we kind of lose some of our reputation as the most dangerous members of the Frieza Force. Is Recoome making sense here?" His teammates gave him nods of agreements.
"My god... How could I be the leader of this team and not realize that?"
"It's not your fault, Captain. Don't give yourself too much credit." Guldo floated up to the Captain's shoulder and laid his hand on his right shoulder pad. "Besides, there's a very simple solution to this."
"Really?"
"There is?"
"Well tell us!"
"Don't leave us in the dark!"
"Isn't it obvious? We need a chick on our team! That's probably why people think we're gay! Haven't you seen all those dance shows or power rangers shows when you were kids? They all had at least one chick on the team, sometimes two! So all we need is to add a really powerful girl to our team, and we're set!" The team let out gasps and ohh's of amazement at Guldo's suggestion; they just couldn't believe that Guldo, of all people, had known this all along while the rest of the Ginyu's were in the dark about this. "That would DEFINITELY solve your problem," said Frieza.
"Alright. Then it's settled. Once we're finished with this planet, we're going to hold tryouts for a sixth member. Although it's going to be annoying to have to recreate our introducing fighting poses after all the time we spent perfecting it."
"It's fine, Captain. This just gives us the chance to make the intro poses better than ever," said Burter.
"Good point. Now WHO'S THE GREATEST CAPTAIN IN THE UNIVERSE?!"
The teammates smiled and yelled the obvious answer as loud as they could. "YOU! GINYU RULES!"
"That's right!" Captain Ginyu set his sights back on the heroes. He noted that some of them were tending or at the very least looking over their fallen comrades, while the rest were simply either staring out into the sky or straight at the scene they just caused. "Now that that's out of the way, who wants to be the seco-"
"HEY DOUCHEBAGS!" Tornado had reached the limit of her patience with these idiotic tools; she couldn't believe she'd been polite enough to let these guys have their own retarded talk about their team image. "HOW ABOUT INSTEAD OF HAVING THIS SELF-IMPOSED MID-LIFE CRISIS, YOU ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THE PEOPLE WHO CAME HERE TO KILL YOU?! SINCE I'M THE ONE WHO MADE THE ARENA, AND IM THE ONE WHO HAD TO SLOW DOWN FOR THE REST OF THESE SLOWPOKES, I, I, THE TORNADO OF TERROR, AM GONNA BE YOUR NEXT OPPONENT IN YOUR SADISTIC GAMES! SO WHAT WILL IT BE?! WHICH ONE OF YOU IDIOTS IS GONNA GROW A PAIR AND FIGHT ME?!"
"Oh oh Captain!" Guldo was the first to volunteer, desperately jumping up and down midair. "Let me have a crack at her! You know I haven't had a decent bout with another esper in ages, and I wanna teach this girl who's really the boss around here! I mean, just listen to her! Tell me you don't want to rip out her throat when you hear her talk!"
"Completely," said Frieza, which prompted the rest of his subordinates to agree.
"Well then it's decided! Go get'er tiger!"
"WO HOO! Thank you, Captain! I won't let you down!"
Guldo floated down to the arena, where Tornado was impatiently waiting for the short fat blob to come down and fight her.
What the other heroes didn't notice was that Garou was excited to see this fight. Garou never had any experience fighting an esper, and he had absolutely no idea what kind of methods could defeat them, the best fighting style to employ, what kind of weaknesses they had, or really anything. This would be the perfect opportunity to see exactly how the most powerful weapon of the Hero Association, the hero that made monsters shiver in terror, fought her battles. This was going to be good.
"Are you kidding me? You're gonna fight me?" Tornado looked up to the space pirates. "This is a joke, right? He's a freaking midget!"
"Look who's talking! You look like you're twelve years old!"
"I'm 28!"
"EXACTLY!"
"Alright, you know what? That's it! I'm gonna shove those extra eyes up your ass so the last thing you'll ever see is the huge shit you took on your life by fighting me!"
Frieza let out a hearty laugh. "Let the 2nd round begin!"
Guldo was the first one to strike; cupping his palms together, Guldo fired a large blast of yellow spherical energy. As the distance closed in between the energy blast and Tatsumaki, the female esper floated in the air, and when the energy blast was just feet away from her, she used her psychic energy and split the attack into two. Still not done, Tatsumaki halted the movement of the now two energy blasts, and with another swing of her hands, sent the energy blasts right back at Guldo.
All four of Guldo's eyes widened, and the small alien frantically dodged his attacks with movements of a bafoon dancing on the street.
Garou scoffed at his small stature and general immobility. He could tell right away with those movements that this one didn't train whatsoever to increase his strength and relied too much on his flight and energy projection.
Guldo snarled. "Oh you think you're so cool with your psychic abilities, don't you? Well guess what? You're not the only one!"
"Oh?"
Guldo raised his arm, and from the ground poked up another stick-like rock. Guldo clasped his fingers together, and the tip of the rock sharpened until it was razor-sharp. The green alien then chucked it with awesome speed towards Tatsumaki. But the female esper needed only another swat of her hand to send it flying to her right, where it lodged itself into the ground.
Tatsumaki laughed at this weak display of psychic powers. "Congratulations. You're officially stronger than I was as a 5-year-old."
Guldo snarled. "Oh yea? Well let's see you mock this!" Guldo bent his knees down and gradually began shouting, lifting his arms as he shouted. Suddenly, the rocks that were debris from the previous battles started to shake and levitate. Then, a boulder around the size of a football field began to rise from the surrounding rubble. The boulder slowly made its way towards Guldo. Once the boulder was directly above Guldo's head, it became stationary.
"Lets see how long it takes for your bones to get crushed! HYAH!" Thrusting his hands as hard as he could, Guldo sent the boulder catapulting to Tatsumaki.
"DIE!"
But the Tornado of Terror wouldn't be subdued by such a minute display of psychokinesis; no, Guldo was a fool for thinking something like this would hurt her, especially after he saw her psychic abilities firsthand. As soon as the boulder was about to touch her head, Tatsumaki lifted her hand, leaving only inches between her forehead and the boulder. "What a joke..."
Tatsumaki lifted her other hand. A deep rumbling could be heard not too far behind the rest of the heroes, and when they turned around, all of their eyes bulged out of their sockets. Floating in the air were 20 boulders that were nearly two times the size of the rock Guldo had lifted off of the ground.
"Oh crapBASKETS!" Guldo screamed this unusual swear word when he saw 21 boulders being thrown at him with 10 times the speed he'd thrown his own boulder.
Feeling forced in a corner, Guldo did the thing that he and he alone could do, something that not even Lord Frieza possessed in his arsenal of awesome powers; taking in a deep breath, Guldo closed his eyes and took command of the flow of time.
"TIME FREEZE!"
Guldo waited a second before opening his eyes. When he did, he let out a breath of relief. Everything was frozen in place; Tatsumaki had an annoyed look of boredom on her face, and the rest of the heroes behind her seemed to be somewhat shocked at this amazing display of psychokinesis by Tatsumaki. It was a good thing he'd done it in time, or else he probably would have had his bones crushed by all of the boulders piled onto him at that speed. Guldo shivered at the thought.
'Ok, if I take another one of those surprise attacks again, I'm gonna be ground to a pulp. So I gotta land a surprise attack of my own. Maybe if I go over here...'. Guldo sprinted about 100 feet to his upper right. 'No, a better spot would be over there...'. Guldo ran in a semicircle around the frozen Tatsumaki until he was standing right behind her.
'No, this still isn't good enough. Maybe over there is-". Without warning, a tightness began to constrain his lungs. 'No, I can't be out of breath already. Hold it... together...'
Finally unable to take the pain anymore, Guldo let out a deep exhale, causing the surrounding environment to be restored to the natural time flow. As soon as time was restored, the 21 boulders continued on their path. But instead of hitting Guldo, they merely crashed onto the ground below the arena, creating a huge dust cloud that covered the edge of the arena and the pile of rocks that now presided beside the arena..
"Guess its already over," said Tatsumaki. "Figures."
"Guess again, bitch!"
"Huh?"
Before she even had the time to figure out how in the hell Guldo had gotten around her so fast, her reflexes kicked in and created a psychic barrier to defend herself from being kicked in the back with a right kick. However, she wasn't quick enough to completely build up the psychic barrier, and it was because of this that Guldo managed to scrape her shoulder blade. The wound actually managed to draw a tad bit of blood, but other than that, she was unharmed and undeterred in her desire to kill Guldo.
Guldo, on the other hand, had just landed face-first on the ground after Tatsumaki had managed to set up that psychic barrier and narrowly dodge his attack.
Up in the sky, the Ginyu Force, Frieza, Zarbon, and Vegeta could already tell that Guldo had bitten off more than he could chew with this bitch. Not only was she a more powerful esper, but her reflexes were also nothing to be mocked. Even after Guldo had used his Time Freeze, she was still able to mostly avoid Guldo's attack with only minimal difficulty.
"Yo Guldo! What are ya doin mate?!" shouted Jeice.
"You're embarrassing us!" yelled Recoome.
"If ya get killed or lose, we'll have to consider this chick as your replacement!" shouted Jeice.
"WHAT?!" Guldo gulped and turned back to his comrades, whom he could instantly tell by their faces that they were none too pleased about how this fight was going.
"Look at the facts! She fits your profile, and even exceeds it! She has your same powers, but with added steroids, she's not fat, and she's a chick! The very same change to our team that you brought up before! Even better, she's just as short as you, so we won't have to change the entrance poses!"
"Good point, Burter." Captain Ginyu patted him on the shoulder, causing Burter to beam in delight. The captain then turned his attention back to Guldo. "Sorry Guldo, but they all make great points. If you don't win here, you're going to be replaced. Or at the very least, you'll become a backup member."
"GAHHH!" Guldo had no idea how he was going to solve this. None of his attacks fazed her, and running with his Time Freeze could only do so much, and if he couldn't deal any damage, his Time Freeze was almost useless. He was done for.
"Recoome wonders how big the gap is between their powers. Let Recoome see..." Recoome turned on his scouter. It quickly beeped to life, and as soon as it did, Recoome clicked the button on the side of the scouter and honed in on Tatsumaki. But when the scouter gave him it's reading of Tatsumaki's power, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Huh? This doesn't make any sense! According to this scouter, the power of that little girl is 12!"
The Ginyu's, Frieza, Zarbon, and Vegeta turned to Recoome to see his smile that obviously indicated he was pulling a prank on them. But Recoome's face showed no lies. "There's no way!"
Reluctant to believe Recoome's tall tales, each of them turned their scouters on, and when they honed in on Tatsumaki's energy level, all of their faces became just as puzzled as Recoome's. "This is ridiculous!"
"What the hell is going on?"
"GUYS! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" shouted Guldo from the arena. Guldo turned back to Tornado, who was rubbing her shoulder blade. "What's the deal with you..." Guldo attempted to ponder the explanation by this unnaturally low energy level from such a powerful esper. He began to do the reasoning in his head: psychokinesis wasn't an added ability of internal energy, and only a few skilled beings were even capable of utilizing their energy for psychokinesis, and even then they weren't nearly as capable as naturally born espers. Guldo knew for a fact that he was weaker in terms of fighting abilities than the rest of his teammates, but he made up for that with his Time Freeze and psychic abilities. Now that he thought about it, if she was as powerful in terms of physical aptitude as she was with her psychic powers, that kick that he just landed on her shouldn't have done much damage, or any damage at all for that matter. Yet he could see that Tornado had been slightly injured by it, and even now was rubbing on the wound to ease the pain.
"Ahhhh... I think I get it now! YES! I know your weakness, you dumb broad!"
This caused Tornado to stop her rubbing and stared at Guldo with her angry eyes. "What did you say?"
"You heard me! You're all bark and no real bite! It'll take maybe 5 minutes to take you down now that I know your achilles heel!"
"I DON'T HAVE AN ACHILLES HELL, YOU HEAR ME?!" Tatsumaki raised her hands and fired a wave of psychic energy at Guldo. But before she even had the chance to blink, Guldo suddenly vanished out of sight.
"Over here!" Tornado abruptly turned, only to see Guldo with his palms cupped together and a purple energy ball forming in his palms. He then fired the energy wave, which Tatsumaki managed to deflect straight up into the sky, with barely any time to spare. "STOP MOVING SO I CAN PROPERLY PULVERIZE YOU!" With rising anger beginning to power Tatsumaki, the female esper launched another psychic attack at Guldo. But just as before, the attack was met with no target. Tornado's eyebrows furrowed, and on the sidelines, the S-class heroes were giving each other puzzled looks because like Tornado, none of them had seen Guldo move at all.
"What's the matter, Tornado of Terror? You were talking all that good shit a second ago!" Ramming up from behind Tornado, Guldo launched a volley of jab punches. Tornado attempted to turn around so she could give a proper counter-attack, but by the time she did, Guldo had already launched himself out of her range.
"You know, when I first saw you, my FIRST thought and definite conclusion was that you're a boner killer." Her teeth became jagged, and her pupils disappeared in an anime-like fashion. "I mean, look at you! The only thing you have going for you in bed is that you don't have to get on your knees."
Tatsumaki screamed, and fired a consecutive stream of psychic attacks at Guldo with pure anger fueling her. The force from the attacks caused the tiles in the arena to crack, creating more dust clouds. Despite her inability to see what was in the dust cloud, Tornado continued her assault. After about 20 seconds of this ferocious outburst, Tornado's attacks started to slow down, until her arms were down at her sides. The entire crowd of spectators were watching the dust cloud, waiting to see what had happened to the green alien. But as the dust cleared, it revealed nothing. Tornado, refusing to believe her attack didn't work, started to look around to see where Guldo had gone.
"TORNADO! ABOVE YOU!" shouted King.
Tornado craned her head up, and sure enough, Guldo was floating about 20 feet in the air, giggling in delight. For some reason, instead of preparing another energy attack, a purple aura had enveloped Guldo's right fist. With a confident shout, Guldo descended to the ground, his fist burning brighter as he got closer to Tornado.
"TORNADO! SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT ABOUT THAT! YOU SHOULD DODGE INSTEAD OF FACING IT HEAD-ON LIKE SWEET MASK SHOULD HAVE DONE!" shouted Bomb.
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" Tornado grunted, and a light green aura shimmered all over her body. "Haven't you learned, moron? My psychic barrier can take any attack you dish out at me!"
"Well then lets see if I can penetrate your protection with my fist and blow my load all over your insides!" Guldo swung his fist straight into Tatsumaki's chest. As soon as these two incredible energies clashed, lightning began sparking all around the two espers. The point of resistance was now a bright light, too bright to be looked at directly unless the onlookers wanted to temporarily blinded. But the three martial artists soon began to notice a shift in the tide of this clash. One by one, the rest of the heroes and space pirates saw this as well. The purple light from Guldo's energized fist was starting to outshine the glow of Tatsumaki's green psychic barrier. Tornado couldn't believe this. "There's no way you could have channeled this much power! How did you manage to gather up so much energy in such a short amount of time?!"
"A true magician never reveals his secrets. And your act is getting stale. So how about I close the curtains on your magic show to save you the humiliation?" Guldo then suddenly withdrew his fist from the clash, confusing Tornado. Knowing she would be distracted, Guldo kneed her hard in the stomach, using some of the leftover energy he gathered together to add a little more juice to his attack. Tatsumaki didn't even have the time to put up another barrier from the emotional anger and confusion churning in her brain. The breath was knocked straight out of her. Barely being able to stay on her two feet, Tornado wobbled on the stone tiles.
Guldo let out a malicious laugh. "Is it over already?"
His question was answered; Tornado raised both her hands and fired a huge light green wave of psychic energy. "You think I'm done yet?! I'm going to deal all the damage you gave to me, and MULTIPLY IT BY A THOUSAND!" But as before, Guldo vanished out of her line of sight, reappearing to her left and landing a hard left kick to her face.
Guldo grinned; he could feel her psychic barrier getting weaker. If she kept on focusing her energy on her attacks and not her psychic barriers, he'd finish her in one minute. Two minutes if he was sloppy.
Bang, Bomb, and Garou could see how easily Tornado was playing into her opponent's hands. She was letting anger and pride cloud her judgement, and if she didn't snap out of it, she stood no chance of winning. Bang was the first of the three to speak what was on all of their minds. "Tornado, you need to calm down! Whatever trick he has, he's somehow able to avoid all of your attacks! You should go on the defensive and try to come up with a plan instead of blatantly and mindlessly launching psychic blasts at him! Just stop being such a melodramatic little girl and try thinking of a strategy for once!"
Bang was thrust back a few hundred feet, until he was lodged into one of the boulders that were all around the valley. Everyone gasped when they realized that Tornado was the one who sent him flying with her psychic blast. "BANG!" Bomb sprinted to his brother's aid, while Garou smirked at his former master's lifeless form. "SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP, OLD MAN! I DON'T NEED YOU TO TELL ME HOW TO FIGHT MY BATTLES! NEXT TO BLAST, I'M THE STRONGEST HERO IN THE ASSOCIATION! AND FOR THE REST OF YOU CHUMPS!" Tatsumaki stared angrily at the rest of the spectating heroes. "YOU THINK YOU'RE HOT SHIT?! WITHOUT ME, YOU'D ALL ALREADY BE BURIED UNDER A PILE OF ALIEN BULLETS, OR BE CRUSHED UNDER THE WEIGHT OF A GIANT FREAKING GODZILLA MONSTER! I'M POPULAR, I'M TALENTED, EVERYBODY LOVES ME, AND I AM THE HERO ASSOCIATION! NOBODY ELSE!"
"Hey Tornado!"
"What?!"
"You forgot something..." Guldo couldn't believe how easily she'd ignored him. He didn't even have to use his time freeze to gather the energy needed to send this bitch out of the arena. "You think you're a tornado? Well then, here comes the hurricane."
Guldo jumped and kicked Tornado as hard as he possibly could with a right side kick, and coupled with the energy he had been channeling into his leg, made it something that Tatsumaki's barriers could no hold back with all of the damage she sustained. Tatsumaki was sent flying out of the arena with the momentum from Guldo's kick still keeping his foot firmly locked onto Tatsumaki's back. Their midair flight was finally stopped when they reached the boulder that Bang had just been slammed into moments ago. Tornado was sent face-first into the boulder, creating a mini-crater in the process. Bang and Bomb looked at this in horror just a few feet below. The savage beatdown was gruesome indeed.
"It's over. I won." Guldo released his foot from Tornado's back, causing her to fall to the ground like a stone. Bomb quickly caught Tornado before she hit the ground. He grimaced at her unconscious and severely beaten state. "Her wounds run deep..." Bomb turned his attention back to his younger brother. "Are you alright, brother?"
"I'm fine. That was nothing, really. In fact, it knocked a kink loose in my shoulder." This joke actually managed to get a laugh out of Bomb. But that laugh soon faded when he heard more laughter from the enemy side. Both Bang and Bomb sneered at the jovial attitude of these disgraceful space pirates. Only monsters like them could celebrate the torture and humiliating defeat of their opponents like this.
On the other side, the Ginyu's had all put Guldo on their shoulders, chanting his name with pride, all five of them smiling in sheer ecstasy.
"GULDO! GULDO! GULDO! GULDO! GULDO! GULDO! GULDO! GULDO!"
After about a minute of this chanting, they finally took him off of their shoulders and gathered around Guldo, patting him on the shoulder, laughing in delight and some disbelief as well.
"Fucking crikey! Guldo, mate, how'd you do that?!"
"It was so easy! Once you told me her power level was 12, I started thinking to myself, and I realized she must only use her psychic abilities, and without them, she was 100 times weaker than just one of our foot soldiers! And she couldn't have made it easier! All I had to do was get her riled up with insults and make sure she stayed on the offensive so she wouldn't keep her psychic barriers up. And even better, she stayed in one place, so I didn't have to worry about her being faster than me or wasting time tracking her movements!"
"But how did you gather so much energy to break through her defenses?" questioned Burter.
"I just used the excess time I had during the time freeze to gather up as much energy as I possibly could. Then, once I felt I had enough energy or I ran out of breath, I'd move to another spot and BOOM!"
Laughter poured out from the Ginyu's once more.
"I must say Guldo, you did outstanding, simply outstanding." Frieza had floated down to be at eye-level with the rest of the Ginyu's. "I honestly thought you were done for, but you managed to outmatch a stronger opponent with tactics and trickery, all-the-while making witty insults. It was almost like looking in a mirror."
Guldo smiled even wider, and graciously bowed to Lord Frieza. "Such praise from you is the highest praise I can think of. I'm honored to know that you thought so highly of my battle, and I thank you for your kind words." Frieza gave Guldo a wink, and levitated his chair back to the higher ground beside Zarbon and Vegeta.
It was the Captain who spoke next. "Guldo, I have to say, I didn't know you were capable of coming up with such clever plans like that!" Guldo blushed. "I owe you an apology. You proved today that you're a pivotal member to this team, and you could never be replaced." This was met with nods of agreement by the rest of the team.
"Aw, Captain..."
"In your honor, I declare that on our next vacation, you will be the chief advisor for all of our activities!"
"Wh-What?" Did Guldo here him right? Being the chief advisor for their activities was a very special privilege for Captain Ginyu, and he always took pride in being the leader on their vacations. "Are you being serious Captain?"
"Completely; you've earned it. All in favor of Guldo being the leader for our next vacation?"
"AYE!"
"Then the motion is passed!"
Guldo let out a chuckle in disbelief. "I think this is the greatest day of my life..."
Laughter rang out yet again.
"So right now, we're two-for-two. Anybody in the mood to go next?"
Each of the Ginyu's were trying to figure out how they would settle this debacle, but before a tiebreaker could even be decided, Recoome instantaneously flew down to the center of the arena. Once Burter and Jeice realized this, they both started yelling insults at Recoome.
"Mate! That's not how we're doin this! Get your arse back up here!"
"You're not playing fair!"
"Oh, stop your bickering." Frieza's voice silenced any more insults that the two Ginyu's had to say. "Life isn't fair. You two were distracted, and he took the moment. So he's the next fighter. No buts."
The two grumbled, crossing their arms like children being scolded by their parents.
Recoome snickered to himself as he watched them get scolded, with Guldo following suit.
"GO GET'EM RECOOME!" shouted Guldo, who was still glowing from his victory.
"RECOOME WILL BEAT THESE CHUMPS JUST FOR YOU, GULDO!"
Then, he raised his hands to the sky, motioning for the next contestant to step forth. "Recoome is ready to enter the third round! Now which one of you sissy-pants has the guts, the moxie, and the passion to stand up here and go toe-to-toe with Recoome, the bringer of DOOM!"
Half of the heroes were checking the wounds of Tatsumaki and double checking Sweet Mask's injuries, and the other half was still standing cross-armed and silent. But once Recoome came down to the arena, all of the heroes gave him their attention. All of the heroes were staring at each other, seeing if anyone was jumping in their place in excitement for this next opponent, but nobody seemed to be interested. Or at least, that's what it seemed. For it was the lowest S-class hero yet perhaps the most humble of them all, Puri-Puri-Prisoner, who volunteered himself to be the next runner up in this competition.
"Yo Puri! You sure you don't want me to be the next fighter?" said Superalloy Darkshine.
"Don't you have faith in me Darky?" replied Puri-Puri-Prisoner.
"Uhhh..." He shifted in slight discomfort, yet Superalloy still couldn't help but crack a smile. "My bad. You've totally got this. Now go show that punk the power of us muscle-men."
"Oh, I will. This is going to be a battle of the angels."
Oh, and sorry for the accidental repeat chapter. Should be fixed. Stay tuned for Round 3 of the Frieza Games!
