Bakuda gazed into Crystal's eyes as she glared right back, she eventually opened her mouth but shut it tight again an instant later. Bakuda sighed; "There is no reason for me to explain, I don't want to bother you with my problems…" he said to Crystals irritation; "No need?! You just said this game was now a war to you! And I want to know why now!" she cried standing up and her chair falling behind her, a few started staring at them now and Bakuda felt very uncomfortable; "Fine! But can you stop making such a fuss?" he asked as Crystal sat back down while seething.

Bakuda was about to explain to Crystal of Adam's warning and the vision, when he noticed that Zephyr was watching their conversation with interest, Bakuda sighed angrily and turned back to Crystal; This will stop people from eavesdropping on the conversation," he said telepathically. Crystal gasped as she heard the voice in her head and not seeing Bakuda's lips move.

"Don't be afraid, I am using telepathy to talk to you, I can hear your thoughts also," Bakuda explained and heard a reply; "He must be a ventriloquist or something, this guy must be an idiot if he thinks I would believe that!" she thought as Bakuda frowned; "I heard that!" he spat and Crystal gasped again; "You were telling the truth!" she exclaimed as Bakuda waved her down; "Yes, now can I tell you what you asked for?" Crystal nodded.

30 minutes later…

Crystal seemed to absorb every detail of what Bakuda had told her and glanced over to Zephyr who was talking casually to Winter; "I do believe you when you said that Adam gave you that vision… but I think that Adam was paranoid and the vision was fake," she thought as Bakuda shook his head; "I can tell that it wasn't fake… and the way he beat Knuckles proved my suspicions…" he said and Crystal looked at him sceptically; "And what about you? You killed Dakuba!" she said slyly as Bakuda closed his eyes; "That was different, Dakuba said he wanted to kill everyone here after he was finished with me, he had to be stopped…" he explained as Crystal looked down and sighed, Bakuda was impossible to deal with… She looked into his eyes again; "Well you have a reason for Zephyr… but why the rest of us? Why not Dawn? He killed your friend and you were looking over at him smiling! Why have you distanced yourself from everyone unlike before?" She asked as Bakuda's eyes sprang open; "Crystal…for Dawn I have an answer… Dakuba told him to fight like that and Dawn looks up to him… he wasn't to blame… but why I am like this indeed…" he thought as he glanced at his hands in shock; "This isn't me… I am not like this! What is going on?!" he cried in his head as he inspected his hands as if they were someone else's…

Crystal looked at the 'Saiyan in fox form' in confusion; "What do you mean by that? I know you're different than before… but you are in charge of your own body!" she said irritably to the Kitsune. Bakuda looked up with worry in his eyes; "That's the point! At some points after my battle with Dakuba… there are just blank periods! I can't remember things at all! And when Amelia was hurt… I wanted to comfort her and play the ocarina to heal her but I just stayed in the corner and played! I tried to move but my body refused!" Bakuda yelled as he looked at Crystal pleadingly.

Crystal was shocked at the news; "Did you do anything after your fight?" she asked calmly to the confused and scared fox. Bakuda shock his head as an announcement rang through the air; "The food will be here shortly but for now we give you spectators to watch the fights! Please write down any friends or family that you want to watch on the pad in front of you…" the voice asked as a clipboard and pen appeared on every table. Crystal reached for it and wrote down: Silver the wolf and Saria fox. Bakuda glanced at it then prayed they were bringing extra food out… he wrote quickly: Piccolo the Namek and Vegeta the Saiyan Prince.

"Your wishes will be granted, first Karnak and Adimid… Karnak's guests are Nappa and Radditz! The voice announced as the two Saiyans appeared side by side of the god of war. Nappa glanced around before laying eyes upon Karnak; "Why Karnak! I haven't seen you in years!" he exclaimed as he slapped him on the back, Karnak smiled an evil grin then turned to Radditz who was staring at Adimid; "Who is this girl?" he asked disgusted and Adimid crossed her arms. Karnak scoffed; "She is not important," he said simply as they began to talk. Crystal noticed that Bakuda's hand was shaking; "What's up?" she asked as Bakuda stopped shaking in anger then turned to the wolf; "The long haired one? That's my uncle…" he said bitterly as Crystal gasped and stared at the large haired man.

Adimid sighed as a light shone next to her, she looked to her right and saw a tall woman with a black gown sitting straight up and was smiling at her pleasantly; "Minda!" Adimid cried as she hugged her tightly. Minda sighed but seemed in a good mood; "How many times have I told you not to hug me in public?" she asked in a tone that she had told her 'many' times… Adimid looked down miserably; "In my match with the goddess with thoughts… she erased most of my memories… I don't know much of my past anymore…" she said as Minda's eyes flashed in anger but they softened and placed her hand on Adimid's head; "We can't have that…" she said simply as memories of Adimid's past flashed in her mind…

Adimid shook her head when it was finished; "How did you do that?" she asked in awe as Minda smiled; "Being a queen of a powerful kingdom gives you a few perks," she explained.

"Next is Amelia and Dawn," the voice announced.

Amelia closed her eyes as a blinding light appeared on either side of her, when she opened them, she saw that a purple cat and white wolf was sitting by her; "Mathias! Blitz! I knew you'd come!" she cried and started hugging the white wolf in a death grip; "Calm down sis!" he complained and turned to the cat; "Blitz? How did we get here anyway?" he asked and Blitz shrugged; "Don't ask me!" and patted Amelia on the head; "They told us what's going on, well done against your first opponent!" he congratulated.

Dawn looked to an empty seat next to him expectantly with a large smile on his face… but the voice continued; "The next pair is…" before Dawn cut him off; "What about me?!" he complained. "You asked for Dakuba and he cannot return for this. You didn't put down anyone else…" The voice explained as Dawns eyes started to fill with tears… "But… But…" and started bawling. Amelia immediately leapt from her seat as if it was 1000 degrees and started to console the poor fox, Radditz started to laugh at Dawn; "Look at the tiny baby cry! No family, huh? Grow up ya wim BANG!!!" he started before he was on the ground with his hands covering his face in pain!

The perpetrator was soon found as people looked at Bakuda who stood bolt upright with his seat on the floor forgotten and his hand outstretched slightly smoking… He didn't look happy… Radditz got back up and stared at the fox that had blasted him; "Do you have a death wish kid!" he shouted and Bakuda smiled; "Nice to see you too, Uncle Radditz!" he shouted and glowed with a bright light, soon he was standing in his Saiyan form and his tail was flicking in irritation.

Radditz stepped back; "It's you!" he cried disbelieving as he stared at his young nephew. People were confused as ever as Bakuda just defended Dawn, even though Dawn had killed his friend in the first rounds… Bakuda snarled; "You leave Dawn alone! You hear me! If you come near him or even talk to him, I will personally make sure you leave here without any of your limbs!" he threatened and Radditz took it to heart.

Bakuda walked slowly up to Dawn who was sniffling as he watched Bakuda approach him, Bakuda bent down to Dawn's eye level, who was crying on Amelia's lap and turned back into his fox form again; "Hey… I may not be Dakuba… but I will protect you okay?..." he said softly as Dawn hiccuped; "But you don't care about me… Sniff, Dakuba and I go hungry every day and… Sniff… you eat well every night… Sniff…" he complained as Bakuda put his hand on his shoulder; "You haven't given me and Tails a chance yet, truth is that we 'do' care for you… it's just Dakuba want's to kill me every time we meet and I think that means to back off…" he joked and Dawn lifted his head slightly; "You mean it?" he asked softly and as an answer Bakuda placed him in a hug that washed away all doubt from Dawns mind…

Bakuda then glanced up at Amelia and smiled; "It looks like you have friends here too, so just keep your chin up, okay?" he asked and Dawn nodded with tears still in his eyes and he began rubbing them out… he then sent a telepathic message to Amelia; "Thanks…" and Amelia smiled back; "Anytime," and Bakuda walked calmly back to his seat. Winter stared at him then smiled; "He's finally back…" she murmured and Zephyr was put in a state of confusion; "He started acting differently to everyone after his match and even blew me off! But just now he defended Dawn without hesitation… what's going on here?" he asked himself.

The voice cleared his through and continued; "As I was saying… the next pair is Winter and Zephyr! Winter didn't ask for anyone, so here is Zephyrs spectator!" the voice announced as Zephyr looked to the seat next to him with foreboding; "At last… I will find out what happened to you…" Zephyr thought as the voice coughed; "There seems to be a problem… we will try to get him as soon as possible…" the voice said apologetically as Zephyr groaned; "Just my luck."

"The next pair is Crystal and Bakuda, Crystals guests are Silver the wolf and Saria the fox!" the voice called as a light blinded Crystal briefly as a silver wolf with red eyes and a black stripe across his eyes slapped Crystal on the back; "We saw a replay of your fight! It was awesome!" he said to Crystal blushed. A golden fox with green eyes had appeared next to Crystal and chuckled; "You had to drown him didn't ya? Ya could have just blasted him into unconsciousness but you had to go full flood!" and started cracking up. Crystal blushed further then said half annoyed to Saria; "He blocked every strike I threw against him! I had too!" she complained as Saria continued to taunt her.

Silver turned to Bakuda and raised an eyebrow to the Kitsune; "Just who are you and why are you with my sister?" he asked suspiciously as Bakuda narrowed his eyes; "1. My name is Bakuda. And 2. I was forced to sit here," he stated as Crystal shot him a death glare. Bakuda gave her a tired expression; "No offence," he added and Crystal calmed down; "None taken," She replied. Silver calmed down and stuck out his hand; "In that case, I think proper introductions are in order, my name is Silver Wolf, the crown prince of Planet Elemental and the elemental of fire," He boasted as Crystal rolled her eyes.

Bakuda smiled and shock the hand; "Bakuda, son of the legendary Super Saiyan, Goku, the crown prince of the ox kingdom, one of the Z fighters, defenders of the earth, a master of over 10 martial arts styles, a being with enough power to destroy a planet in seconds and the God of Hope," he said as Silver simply stared at him with wide eyes…

Silver shook his head comically; "You can't be serious…" he said with a massive sweat drop on the back of his head. Crystal laughed at her brothers nervousness; "He is serious, serves you right for acting all high and mighty!" she scolded him as Silver glanced at her then back to Bakuda smiling; "Prove it!" he said smug.

Bakuda shrugged; "If you insist…" and turned back into his Saiyan form which scared the living daylights out of Saria and Bakuda let out a long battle cry as his hair stood on end and his eyes flashed to a deep green… Bakuda stared at the shocked wolf; "This is what we call a Super Saiyan!" he shouted. Nappa and Radditz were watching the transformation in awe. Radditz was gob smacked; "That brat is the legendary super Saiyan!?" he cried as Nappa was just stuttering, Karnak grunted; "No, his father is. He just can do it too," he explained gruffly as Radditz and Nappa looked at each other and gulped; "Ka…kakarot?!… Super Saiyan?!" they both said in sync.

Bakuda sat back down and turned back to Silver; "This proof enough or should I give you more?" he asked slyly and Silver threw up his arms; "That's fine!" and Bakuda powered down. Silver sighed; "I can't stand up to guy that can turn super at will, I have the rainbow gems with me that I can use to be on par with him but I don't want to fight with no purpose…" he thought. Bakuda sighed then closed his eyes to wait for the inevitable… in a flash of light he then opened one eye to see the prince of Saiyans sitting opposite him and smirking like a manic; "So you finally did it kid, you became a Super Saiyan!" he said proudly as a green hand placed itself upon Bakuda's shoulder, Bakuda's eyes followed it to its owner, the Namek, piccolo was smiling down at him; "You've done well Bakuda, you've done well," he said to Bakuda's glee.

Saria glanced at the Saiyan then to the Namek and buried her head in her hands; "This is just too much!" he complained and Vegeta glared at him; "What's your problem?" he asked smugly and the fox glared at him; "Excuse me for not witnessing super charged aliens pop up right in front of me all the time!" he complained as everyone, (even Silver, Crystal and Piccolo) started cracking up, Bakuda fell straight off his chair as he held his stomach because he couldn't stop laughing!

Bakuda found his way back to his chair and then said to Silver, Crystal and Saria; "Guys, these are my friends and martial arts instructors, Piccolo and Vegeta," Silver nodded then put his hand out to Vegeta; "Pleased to meet you," he said but Vegeta smacked his hand away; "An elemental, ey? Haven't seen one of you in years!" he commented as Crystals eyes widened; "You know of our planet and people?" she asked. Vegeta shook his head; "Your half right, Frieza captured one citizen of your planet but wouldn't divulge the location of your planet, he died for your people," he said calmly as Silver stood up suddenly; "Who is this Frieza?!" he asked with venom literally dripping from his mouth, Bakuda sighed; "He was a tyrant of space that destroyed many planets or wiped out civilizations to sell them to the highest bidder… but don't worry, my dad destroyed him when he turned Super Saiyan," Bakuda explained and then added; "And can you stop that? It will stain the table cloth," he requested calmly as Silver raised an eyebrow then wiped the liquid from his mouth. Crystal looked amazed; "I didn't know you could do that…" she commented.

Everyone but crystal fell down anime style…

Suddenly food appeared on the plates in front of them and everyone began digging in, the three elementals had to be quick to grab food from the table before Bakuda and Vegeta could get too it… Bakuda stopped eating for a moment and glanced over to Dawn who was reaching over the table for a piece of turkey but couldn't reach, Amelia pushed the plate of turkey towards him, but Mathias picked it up before Dawn could grab a piece, but Dawn got a piece of turkey after a couple of arrows somehow lodged itself above Mathias's head though… Bakuda smiled at Amelia as she put her bow away… She acted like a mother towards Dawn, even though she only knew him for about an hour… Bakuda then turned back to his food smiling…

Piccolo was watching Bakuda intently as he was eating, Bakuda noticed this after awhile and stared back… Vegeta stopped gorging himself in Saiyan style to look at them; "What is the matter Namek?" he asked with the usual arrogance. Piccolo then asked Bakuda a confusing question; "How do I sense two ki's from you?" which made Vegeta raise his eyebrows; "What? Wait… I can sense it too, why is that?" he asked the confused Kitsune; "Let me try," he said and tried to feel for his own ki, which was never easy… eventually he found it… there was another ki with his and it seemed familiar…

Bakuda's eyes shot open as he recognised the ki signature; "Adam…" he murmured and Crystal glanced at him; "Isn't that the guy that I fought and gave you the vision?" she asked, Bakuda nodded then reached out his hand, the 'Rod of Light' appeared in front of him; "I wondered why I was acting strange… Adams thoughts were clouding my judgement and actions, that's why I was alienating people and probably why I wanted to show off to you earlier Silver," he said to Silver and he scoffed; "You sure that wasn't just you?" he asked angrily and Bakuda nodded; "I am hardly like that, my personality is now mixed with Adams right now and is probably why I can turn Super Saiyan…" he thought out load and Vegeta looked at him strangely; "You mean you can only transform because of this stick?" he said with curiosity, Bakuda nodded. Vegeta sighed; "Then one thing to do, Destroy it!" he shouted as Bakuda nodded, this made Vegeta confused; "You want to destroy the stick that allows you to become Super Saiyan?" he asked as Bakuda nodded again; "Yes, this is the reason I can't think properly, what's better? Super Saiyan that can't think? Or a normal Saiyan that can?" he asked the smiling prince; "You've come a long way kid…" he said as Bakuda drew his 'Sword of Hope' and sliced the rod in half, which shattered at contact.

Bakuda sighed as he felt the power it filled him with leave him; "Sorry Adam, but I need my head clear…" he thought as the plates were cleared, much to Vegeta's, Dawn's, Nappa's, Radditz's and Bakuda's disappointment.

"I hope you enjoyed the meal, the first match of the second round is of Karnak Vs. Winter! The fight will commence in 10 minutes to let the stomach settle. Prepare for battle!" the voice cried.
