I do not the Dragon Ball franchise.
Enjoy!
To say Cabba, was a lot more warily when he went up on that stage ever since Goku himself came to find him to warn him about his next opponent, was the understatement of a life time.
His opponent?
Zamastu from Universe 12.
He had heard of what happened at the first match between Universe 12 and 7, and how the Super saiyan form was mocked and looked down upon by Universe 12, the same form he trained so hard for the past two years and a half years to surpass, constantly trying to push his limits, although nothing was better than sparing with somebody of equal or greater strength but you can't have it both ways when nobody else from your race in your universe has reached the height of Super Saiyan like you have.
He himself learnt about how the fight was complete one sided and how the form was treated like nothing more than a child without any martial arts training.
If this was so, how much better was he off than Pan? And for some reason Champa-sama, seemed a bit wearily of universe 12.
But still... he had to try, and win.
He was a warrior and warriors always find a way to win or use this fight to come back even stronger to protect the people he loved.
Meanwhile, Zamastu, stood opposite the boy, he was sure was a Saiyan, humans and Saiyans felt different from each other despite them looking a like and said.
"Your name is Cabba, right?" Zamastu said, before smiling.
"Let's have a good match"
Ch 22: One of the monsters born in Universe 12.
"hmp, this match looks easy" Champa said, from his god box, although he was a bit annoyed that Universe 12 own looked so luvish compared to his own, but he didn't have the guts to complain to their faces about the special treatment, anyone who could strike fear in the heart of the King of All, you just don't want to get on the bad side off and said "I can't feel anything from that guy"
"Champa-sama, just because you can't feel anything doesn't mean he isn't strong" Vados said, from right next to him before she lifted from the ground.
"And where do you think, your going?" Champa said.
"Champa-sama, I told you, the King of All asked all the Angel guardians to be the referee for each match. It's my turn now" Vados said.
"You did not!" Champa said, he would have remembered if she mentioned such an important detail to him.
"yes I did and you said 'Fine, it's doesn't matter what you do in your spare time as long as you prepared food'" She quoted making him feel like an idiot, before she left and landed right in the middle of the stadium, leaving one annoyed god of Destruction behind.
She than cleared her throat and broadcasted her voice all over the stadium and said. "IT IS NOW THE THIRD DAY OF THE TOURNAMENT, THIS MATCH WILL BE AGAINST ZAMASTU FROM UNIVERSE 12 AND CABBA FROM UNIVERSE 6! ARE YOU BOTH READY?" She said, turning to both of them and they both got into their own stance, they were both clearly different in turns of stances.
Vados took that as a yes and said. "SO LET THE MATCH BEGIN!" Before she disappeared and reappeared right behind a startled God of Destruction.
Neither Gowasu, the Z fighters or their families were going to miss this match, they were all prepared in case something happened.
"GO DADDY!" Little Beel said, cheering for her daddy, while her mommy looked with a smile on her face, while the Z fighters were trying not to have a heart attack, especially Bulma.
THE Zamastu was a father in Universe 12!? Had reality gone mad, Bulma remembered quiet well how he heartlessly brushed her off and now she was finding out another version of him was married and had produced a little girl to boot.
What a way to wound her pride as a woman.
This Zamastu didn't dress like he was a god but a common man, which put him apart from his dead counterpart.
They stared at each other for a second, Cabba know this was going to be a hard fight he could feel the bloodlust from here.
It was like he was going up against a wild beast, and in times like this, it was wise to be the one to act first before the beast had time to attack and that's what he did.
He ran towards his opponent at high speed, throwing a fist to test him out.
Zamastu dodged the first punch easily only to find a roundhouse kick coming from the side, he dodged that too, only to see fist to his chin.
He leapt back, he had never seen such a weird fighting style before.
"It looks like this Zamastu is nowhere nearly as powerful as the one we fought in that other reality" Bulma said, thankful for that, this one looks a lot saner too.
However, neither Goku or Vegeta allowed their eyes away from Zamastu form, they wondered how powerful this one was compared to the other one, they fought and brushed very close to death several times to defeat.
This may be a fight, that Cabba may not be able to handle.
He's weak. Cabba thought, was this really Universe 12, as far as he could tell this guy wasn't a threat at all and there was no reason why Goku would come to his room just to warn him.
It looks like he wouldn't have to go Super Saiyan for this.
"Cabba, that idiot" Vegeta said, "He let his guard down, never let your guard down"
But of course the Saiyan couldn't hear him and want to lung at his opponent who blocked the blow with a grunt, feeling confident Cabba pursed his opponent with one strike after another in a very quick succession.
To those outside it looked like Zamastu was the one being pushed against the ropes and Champa couldn't help but smirk.
"So this is Universe 12?" The god of destruction said with arrogance, "I was worried since they managed to beat one of Beerus champion, but now I see it was all pure luck. I don't see why the King of All is scared of these weaklings"
"Champa-sama, because of your weight, if you laugh too much, you might have a stroke" Vados said.
"I WILL NOT!" The god yelled, back.
However what only a few notice, is that if you look very careful underneath Zamastu feet you would see the ground itself given way, it was the reason why Zamastu seemed to be struggling just with Cabba regular punches and kicks.
Seeing this, his comrades couldn't help but either boo or laugh at him.
"Come on Zamastu, don't you think it's time to lose those weights?" Bildo yelled.
"Zamastu, your insulting your opponent by putting those weights on. This isn't training, this is a fight!" Hercules from Universe 12 said, while his other self was looked at him in shock.
There was another him but cool looking!
"Zamastu, if you keep doing this, it would get boring fast." Absalom said.
The crowd got the jist of what was happening and they weren't happy.
"What, you put weights on!?" One guy shouted.
"When, are you going to break out your bad habit!? Aren't you insulting your opponent?" Another guy said.
And so on.
"Daddy, why are using weights?" Beel said, now that, she thought about it, her daddy did have a bad habit of constantly having weights on him and forgetting to take them off, because of that, their floors had to be replaced every couple of months or so.
Zamastu, on the other hand looked extremely sheepish, he hadn't realized he was still wearing his weights on, no wonder his body felt so heavy to the point that he could barely move, and immediately apologized to his opponent. "Sorry, I didn't mean to insult you. I forgot to take off my weights"
And Cabba had to blink owlishly in surprise as the invisible rings on his opponents arms and legs suddenly became visible and they dropped off from his frame, leaving a 50 meter hole in the ground, leaving Cabba and many others gaping at the very large crater.
"That's so much better" Zamastu said, flexing his body, he felt so much more lighter, he thought as he hopped around the place before saying. "Get ready kid, I'm coming at you."
And Cabba instantly got into a stance, he didn't even see Zamastu move let alone see his fist coming towards him, all he felt was the sudden pain coming from his abdomen, before he felt the attacks that seemed to be coming from all sides.
Meanwhile to the outside crowds, all they saw was air itself bouncing off itself to create a vacuum.
Making most shield their eyes from the wind.
"Damn, that bastard is still as a fast ever" Bildo said, "It's no wonder he's the fastest out of all of us, I still can't see his movements."
Only those with very special eyes could just barely see him.
"GO DADDY!" Little Beel yelled, this was more like it.
While Cabba was wondering how anybody could be so impossibly fast through all the pain, he couldn't see him at all!
Eventually Zamastu seemed to have gotten bored with sneak attacks, decided to face him head on, unknowingly mirrored what happen in the Cabba vs Vegeta fight two years previously, except he had no intention of teaching Cabba anything.
Cabba was launched up into the air, and Zamastu wouldn't let Cabba fall instead he kept on kicking him upper wards when he was deemed to close to the ground.
But unlike last time, Cabba wasn't completely at his opponent mercy, he know how to counter and in mid-height, he quickly turned into a Super Saiyan.
Without yelling.
A lot of people were looking on with wide eyes, at this even Goku and Vegeta, the Saiyan ignored all their shocked gazes and nose dived at Zamastu.
Come, let's see what you got, boy. Zamastu thought, as he found himself knocked off his feet and facing an onslaught of very higher powered attacks, just from the force behind it, explosion after explosion erupted from Cabba fist.
"Yes!" Beerus said, suddenly appearing out of nowhere, he didn't care that it was Champa champion doing the beating instead of his own, he just felt happy that someone was sticking it to the stuck up god.
Zamastu was rocked through the air and Cabba instantly got into a familiar stance that all the Z fighters recognized.
"GALICK GUN, FULL POWER!" The shot was fired.
The shot speed off towards Zamatsu with terrifying speed and it hit it's mark like an arrow to a bullseye.
Champa, was now howling in laughter, so much for Universe 12 all mighty champions.
But he was in for a shock, and so where most people from Universe 4.
When the smoke cleared.
Zamastu was completely fine, well his shirt was completely gone, but what matter was that he was still not only very much alive but he was looking unharmed.
And Radis smirked.
"Man, that was a scary move" Zamastu said, what was that? That was crazy, if it had been a lot more power, he would have been in trouble, he brushed himself off while Cabba was looking shocked that he survived and said, with a smirk reeking of bloodlust. "Sorry, kid. But no hard feelings? If this fight goes on longer, I don't think I can hold my instincts back any longer and you might not make it out of this stadium alive, so as goodwill between the two of us, I'm going to get serious for one second and your gonna have to try your very best to dodge it."
"What *huff*" Cabba said, clearly that attack had taken a lot out of him and before his very eyes and everybody else, Zamastu Kai skyrocked like crazy to the point even Hit, was looking shocked.
A halo suddenly formed above his head and he was no longer reeking of a mortal but reeking of a god, much to Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, Beerus, Champa and Gowasu shock, while Radis had an unholy grin on his face that said Cabba should have forfeited the moment Zamastu stepped on stage.
Cabba, didn't have time to look in shock at the power rolling off his opponent in way, it felt like he was facing a god, when he felt something pierce through him, namely something made out of pure Kai energy.
"Light of Absolution"
The whole field was covered with shark large needles made out of pure Kai.
Cabba coughed up blood, his mind wondering what the hell happened
"Sorry, kid. This is the only way, I could satisfy my instincts for now. Don't worry, this isn't nearly enough to kill somebody like you" Zamastu said, behind him was something four people in the audience thought they would never see again in their lives.
The needles disappeared and Cabbe body flopped down.
.
.
Cabba wasn't moving and now Zamasu was getting worried.
"Um, did I just kill this kid?" Zamastu said, now worried, wasn't he disqualified?
Luckily Vados came over and checked Cabba pulse to find out that he was indeed alive but his pulse was very faint.
Zamastu gave a sigh of relief as he walked off the stage, his god form disappearing as quickly as it came, he was no longer reeking of a god but of a mortal, he had held back a lot but he didn't think the kid would be at death door, it worried him.
However since he was facing backwards, he didn't see the fear he inspired or the seriousness in many of the gods eyes that were still present.
Before they all met the eyes of the one person who's smile was nothing threatened to split his face in half.
"That guy..." Beerus said.
"Just what has been going on in Universe 12?"
Because he was certain.
They had just met..
One of it's monsters.
And scene!
Next chapter, the day of the Shori no hi approaches and a clearly very smug Radis decides that he would be damned if it's not celebrated. Review/ fav and follow!
