Сhapter 22: Setting the stakes
Sorry for not updating lately, ive been so busy and tired, i havent had the time to do so...
-Fairy Tail, with Gohan and Erza-
Gohan woke with his arm wrapped around his girlfriend, he carefully unwrapped his arm, trying not to wake up Erza.
He went through his usual morning routine, and exited his room. He was met by a sleepy Natsu.
"Morning Gohan... Whatever you did with Erza, why didnt the both of you keep it down?" asked Natsu, making Gohan blush severely
"W-well... Ermmm..." Gohan had a hard time forming any sentence, due to Natsu being semi aware of what he was doing with Erza the other night
"Next time, dont be so loud please..." said Natsu , leaving. Gohan sighed in relief, but he heard a familiar laugh behind him.
"Unlike Natsu, i know what you and her did..." said Trunks, chuckling. Gohan turned even redder "Promise not to tell anyone..."
"I promise I wont..." said Trunks with a smile. Gohan nodded, and went on with his day as usual. 'I wonder how Chi Chi would react...' thought Trunks...

"Hey, Goku!" said Krillin, greeting his best friend. "Hey Krillin! Wow, did you grow it youself?" asked Goku, noticing that Krillin has hair!
Krillin nodded and smiled. Goku saw 18 walking next to Krillin, and he tensed up slightly. "Watch out Krillin!" said Goku, while 18 just walked by, rolling her eyes.
"Goku, im married to 18... I also have a daughter" chuckled Krillin, making Goku smile. "Congrats man!" said Goku, giving Krillin the famous son grin.
"Thanks!" replied Krillin, following Goku to the registration desk.
"Your name?" asked the the monk. "Son Goku" replied Goku, as the monk wrote down his name.
"Next!" said the Monk, and Krillin moved forward. "Krillin" the monk wrote down Krillins name and called the next person.
'"Everyone, get in line!" said a chubby man wearing glasses. "Each contestant needs to punch the machine..." said the guy, getting ready to write down the results
Android 18 came up to the machine, and lightly tapped it. The machine gave out a score of 774 points. The guy had a shocked expression on his face, as he wrote down her score
"N-next..." said the man shaking. Piccolo, Goku and Krillin had their turns, and their score ranged from 200-220
"Stand aside!" said Vegeta, getting ready to punch the machine. He threw a light jab, and sent the machine flying. The audiences eyes bulged out of their sockets, Vegeta smirked.
"Did you really have to break it?" asked Goku, only receiving a grunt from Vegeta.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament! To make things more exciting, we hold a junior division this year!" said the announced, and the crowd went wild. "Lets welcome our first fighters, Goten and Ekosa!" said the announcer, as Goten and Ekosa got up on the ring
"Youre going down kid!" said Ekosa, getting ready to fight Goten
"LET THE FIRST FIGHT OF THE JUNIOR DIVISION BEGIN!" exclaimed the announcer, signaling the beginning of the fight. Ekosa threw a punch at Goten, which the son of Goku blocked with one finger. "Come on, lets be serious!" said Goten, surprising Ekosa
Ekosa smirked, and began throwing punches at Goten, which he all blocked with ease. Goten threw a light punch at his opponent, which knocked him out.
"Oh wow... AND THE WINNER IS GOTEN!" said the announcer, making the cloud cheer for Goten. The next few tournament fights were pretty one sided, until the finals...
"Now, everybody, this is the fight youve all been waiting for! The two finalists, GOTEN AND TRUNKS" began the announcer, eager to see the fight himself.
The two demi saiyans made their way to the arena. "No turning super" whispered Trunks, as he and Goten got ready to fight each other.
"BEGIN!" said the announcer, Goten and Trunks rushed at each other, trying to elbow one another. They both blocked the upcoming attack, and Goten started attacking Trunks, forcing him on the defensive
"Man, look at them go..." said Goku, watching his son face off against Trunks. Trunks saw an opening, and punched Goten in the face. Goten got sent back, and they both landed on the ground.
Trunks began charging an energy blast in his hands, and he sent it at Goten. Goten dodged the attack, and began charging a kamehameha. Trunks directed the blast away from the audience, and sent it into the air. He looked at where Goten was, but he was no where to be seen. He then sensed Goten firing a kamehameha from the left. Trunks dodged the kamehameha, but he got his arm no time, Goten threw a powerful punch at Trunks, and it connected with his chest, knocking the wind out of him.
Trunks regained himself and kicked Goten across the face, sending him across the arena. He flew at Goten, grabbed his ankle, and began to spin him around. Goten headbutted Trunks, beginning his assault. He then proceeded to assault Trunks with a mixture of punches and kicks. Trunks blocked most of the attacks, but some got through. 'Man, Goten is so strong!' Thought Trunks, proceeding to block Gotens' attacks. He ducked and uppercutted Goten in the stomach.
Trunks got behind Goten and threw a kick at his back. The kick connected, and sent Goten flying to the ground. Before he could hit the ground, Trunks drove his knee into Gotens stomach, knocking the wind out of Goten. Goten counterattacked with the strongest punch he could muster, which sent Trunks to the ground. He landed on the arena, unconscious.
"And we have a winner!" said the announcer, making the crowd go wild yet again. Goten bowed, and picked up Trunks. He carried Trunks to the gang and Goku fed him a senzu bean. Trunks opened his eyes and saw a grinning Goten. "I won!" exclaimed Goten, getting a thumbs up from Trunks. "Nice..." said Trunks, getting up.
"Good job Goten!" said Goku smiling, lifting his son. "Trunks!" said Vegeta, and his son turned to him. "Id like to speak to you in private..." Trunks gulped, and followed his father.
"So, dad, what is it?" asked Trunks, slightly scared of his father. Vegeta , without saying a word hugged his son. "You did well Trunks, im proud of you..." said Vegeta, ruffling his sons hair. "Thanks dad..." said Trunks, embarrassed.
"Alright, now the junior division champion Goten has to fight Hercule!" said the announcer, making the crowd concerned for Goten.
"Just try not to hit the oaf too hard" chuckled Trunks, making Goten nod. He and Hercule made their way to the ring.
"Alrighty, here we go sports fans, without further delay, let the match begin!" said the announcer, making Mr Satan laugh.
"Ahhh yeahhh, lets do this!" said Mr Satan, making Goten sweatdrop 'Do i really have to fight this?' Thought Goten, as Mr Satan leaned towards him.
"Ee gads, look at that!In the confident style of the true champion, Trunks is being offered a free shot!NOW THATS A FIGHTER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! What a class act!" said the announcer, making the crowd go wild
"Time for the greeting kid!" said Mr Satan in his usual cocky tone. Goten threw a light punch at Mr Satan and he sent the world champion flying out of the arena. He crashed into a wall, and fell down. Everyone went silent...
"Oh my goodness, Mr Satan is out cold!" the announcer was the first one to speak up. Mr Satan began twitching, and eventually he got up. "What a punch man!" laughed Hercule, clutching his stomach. "He beat me fair and square!" announced Hercule, making the crowd go wild yet again.
The announcer walked up to Goten and ruffled his hair. "Well, congratulations Goten! Youre stronger than the world champion, kid!" said the announcer, making Goten chuckle.

'Today is Erzas birthday' smiled Gohan, as he got out the gift that he bought for her
He flew over to Fairy Tails guild building. and entered it. "Hello everyone!" greeted Gohan the guild members that were decorating the guild hall.
"Hi Gohan!" said Natsu excitedly, waving at his friend/ teacher. After one hour, everything was set and ready, all they had to do is now wait for Erza to enter...
"Shes on her way here!" said Gohan, sensing Erzas ki closing in. The door opened and Erza walked in.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERZA!" shouted everyone, startling her. She regained herself and smiled "Thank you!" she said ,jumping for joy.
The party went on as usual, until Gohan decided to make his move. He walked up to Erza, nervous and smiling. "Erza..." said Gohan, catching her attention.
"Yes Gohan?" asked Erza, smiling. "You and i have been a couple for a while now..." said Gohan, getting the attention of a few more people. "Now, let me ask you this question..." said Gohan, revealing a small box in his hand. "Erza Scarlet..." said Gohan, while sitting down on one of his knees. "Will you marry me?"
