Disclaimer: I do not own the following: Sonic the hedgehog, Dragonball Z, Prince of Persia (the Dagger of time), Batman (the Shadowfox looks like the Bat-Mobil), Pok'emon (Lugia's ocarina); (I will add more when the time comes.)

Claimer: Bakuda, Dakuba and Dawn I own. Bakuda was a 'spur-of-the-moment' name a friend and I created for an online game in 1999. I used the name for every game/story character ever since. If you spot anything that may be discreetly connected to another Anime/book/TV show, ECT, it is purely coincidence and not intentional.

The following OC's belong to:

Zephyr the Fox wolf: The Blue Zephyr.

Crystal the Wolf: Sonicx man.

Amelia the Wolf: Chef Colette.

Vyse the Fox: Ryu the Black Fox.

Chaos the Hedgehog/demon holder: inudemon02.

Adimid the Fox/Cat: Velk.

Winter the Fox: The Blue Zephyr.

Thank you for submitting.

(P.S. For all those that want to know who they are fighting or going to fight next, this is a tourney tree tournament. Therefore the people that won the previous matches will fight the winner before/after them. Therefore Dawn will be fighting Crystal in the next round of bouts.)

Dakuba lashed out at Bakuda with a giant force palm but Bakuda had grabbed it, Bakuda smiled; "Your fighting skills were passed onto Dawn! I watched that fight with interest Dakuba… it was when Tails was killed!" he screamed as he blasted Dakuba in the chest and sent him tumbling backwards. Dakuba regained his posture and snickered; "Impressive, yes, I gave my techniques to Dawn the same way Tails adapted from your fighting skills, but let us keep Dawn out of this for now… after all, I told him to distract him with a Kamehameha!" he said with relish.

Bakuda glared; "You WHAT!" he shouted as thunder rumbled over them. Dakuba chuckled; "That I not important now, what is important now is YOUR DEATH!!!" he screeched and charged head first at Bakuda in a spindash. Bakuda caught the spindash but it was ripping his hands to pieces… Bakuda suddenly remembered something…

He held onto the spindash with one hand and reached for his sword with the other, he grasped the handle and brought the blade upon Dakuba's ball form. Instantly Dakuba rebounded off the sword and steadied himself, he realised he couldn't see out of his left eye… he raised his hand to find that blood was being drawn from it at a slow rate, it was damaged… he closed his left eye and shown a deep scar across his left eye, he glared at Bakuda angrily; "You blinded me scum!" he yelled as Bakuda sheathed his sword; "You ripped a fair amount of skin from my hands…," Bakuda reminded him as Dakuba snickered; "I guess I did."

Dakuba charged back at Bakuda at a alarming rate and brought a heavy blow to the side of the head and sent Bakuda flying, but Bakuda grabbed one of the poles on the lookout and spun around on it to send him sailing back to Dakuba who immediately threw his arms up in defence but Bakuda dropped before he reached him and swiped Dakuba's legs from underneath with a leg sweep, Dakuba fell to the side but Bakuda had other plans, he kneed Dakuba in the stomach as he was falling, put his foot on Dakuba's head and forced it into the tiles below.

Bakuda watched as Dakuba slowly got up off the ground and coughed up blood, He glared at Bakuda with anger then it turned to a smile; "Well done, I see your fighting skills keep improving!" he commented as he simply stood opposite to Bakuda, who smiled with him; "Why thanks, I try." He responded. Dakuba then snickered; "Well I guess that was a good warm-up," he said as if commenting on the weather.

Nearly everyone in the crowd gasped at this, a hedgehog with white fur and black quills shuddered; "If that was the warm-up, then how strong are these people?! And do I even want to know?!" she thought as Bakuda closed his eyes and responded calmly; "Agreed, no more sandbagging, we fight at full power!" he cried the last part as he crossed his arms and focused on his inner strength… Dakuba did the same but held his hands to the side… Lightning began to flash again as it struck around the pair and began spiralling them, Bakuda was then enshrouded in a blinding red and gold aura, Dakuba was the same except he had a gold and purple one. Bakuda let out a large scream as his power reached his maximum, but Dakuba continued… his power was continuing to rise!

Dakuba chuckled at Bakuda's shock; "surly you didn't forget that I get stronger if someone has despair in their hearts? Adam had quite a lot, so I fed off of it and surpassed you by leaps and bounds!" he shouted as he released his energy and blew Bakuda back a short distance. Bakuda studied is opponent with burning anger; "Okay… he is stronger, maybe faster and knows most of my techniques… the only way to beat him is to use the 'Sprit of Hope' but it takes too long! Maybe I can beat him with some luck?" he asked himself as Dakuba phased out of sight and punched Bakuda hard in the gut, forcing him to cough up blood, Dakuba grabbed Bakuda's hair then forced Bakuda's head onto his knee, sending him flying. Dakuba quickly followed and knocked Bakuda on the head and sent him spiralling down to the ground, but Dakuba caught him again and started completely pulverising him with punches and kicks that could shatter mountains… Dakuba grabbed Bakuda leg and spun him around twice before throwing him downwards. Bakuda fell to the ground at rapid speed and crashed onto the hard tiles; "So much for that theory…" he mumbled in his mind as he got back up but Dakuba had dive-bombed him and kicked Bakuda into the ground once more.

Zephyr and Knuckles were standing side by side, Knuckles watched as Bakuda was picked up by the leg and slammed onto the ground; "Bakuda wont last much longer," he said as Zephyr nodded; "He would need a miracle…" he commented as Bakuda was punch rapidly in the face while still on the ground.

Dakuba stood up and watched as Bakuda lay on the ground struggling to breath properly; "You should be more of a challenge to me, I was expecting for SOME entertainment during this tournament!" he mocked as he kicked Bakuda's side and sent him sprawling across the floor. Bakuda was out cold…

In Bakuda's mind.

"How can I beat him?! He is way too fast and strong for me to handle!" he shouted as he felt another kick to the side; "I am already down! Stop kicking me already!" he shouted as he looked at his torn up hand; "I guess it just isn't meant to be…" he mumbled… a bright light filled Bakuda's mind and Bakuda had to shield his eyes from it; "From the god of hope, I would have expected a little more faith from you," a voice called from behind Bakuda, Bakuda turned around and found Adam staring at him, smiling; "Adam? How are you here?" he asked as Adam walked up to him; "To repay the favour, you helped me by letting my father talk to me and I don't like to hold any debts," he said simply as he touched Bakuda's head with the 'Rod of light'. He smiled; "You have a burning fire deep within you, I will bring it out, but you can only use it during the tournament okay? My magic wont work over the distance of inter dimensions…" he said as Bakuda felt a power burst deep within him…

Kami's lookout.

"You were too weak to train Tails! Look how he ended up, your father forgot all about you and your friends don't care about you! And without you here, I can crush all these insects like bugs!" he cried happily as he sent Bakuda's unconscious body down to the earth below the lookout. The voice then announced; "The winner is Dakub… What? What is noise?" he asked as a voice rang through the air; "DRAGONBALLS! GATHER THE POWETR OF SHENRON! GATHER TO ME FOR I NEED OYUR POWER!"

Bakuda burst through the lookout in a blazing golden aura and his golden hair standing on end, the seven dragonballs, the three Chaos Emeralds and the two Golden dragonballs revolved around him… In one hand he held the 'Sword of hope' and in the other was the 'Rod of light'…

A few people in the crowd gasped, Tara was stunned at the fact that he was wielding Adams godly weapon, thought to be an impossibility. Zephyr was watching the revolving Chaos Emeralds in awe; "How did he get those?" he asked himself.

"No one disrespects my family and friends! Prepare for round two Dakuba!" Bakuda shouted as he launched at Dakuba and knocked him into the air with a massive kick to the ribs, breaking a few in the process… he then turned to Dakuba as he was sailing away from his kick, he lowered into a gathering power position and mumbled; "The seven Chaos Emeralds are the servers, our hearts intensify their power, the controllers serve to unify the chaos… Mystic Dragonballs of great age, I bring you forth to unleash your rage, in my sights is the greatest foe, give me your strength for I deliver the final blow!" and the artefacts around him glowed brightly and revolved around him faster, he glared at Dakuba who had finally stood up and watched in pure loathing at Bakuda; "Super Saiyan or not! I will destroy you!" he screeched as he sent a massive Kamehameha wave toward Bakuda and the crowd, many of the crowd tried to get out of the way but there was no time… Bakuda stood still as the blast was nearly upon them and shouted suddenly; "IT'S OVER!!! ECLIPSE OF HOPE!!!" and brought out a blast of significant size and power to plow through Dakuba's beam, Dakuba watched in awe as Bakuda's blast completely enveloped his own and struck him head on… "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!" he cried as his voice faded from existence…

After the dust had settled Bakuda was watching where his opponent was moments before and summoned the artefacts back into his sword except for the dragonballs which scattered over the world again.

The voice said weakly; "Winner is Bakuda?" and Bakuda joined the others in the 'waiting room', none went near him as his blazing aura kept them all worried, he noticed this and powered down to his normal state; "Well… that was sure… exhausting…" he mumbled as he fell back and started snoring loudly…

Everyone sweat dropped.

Knuckles made his way to him kneeled down next to him; "He is going to be fine, he just needs rest… he announced and started bandaging Bakuda's hands.

"The next match is Chaos and Amelia! Prepare for Battle!" the voice announced with his old voice back…
