The battlefield changed to an area where there was a cliff side all around them like a pit and right in the middle was a giant tree… Zephyr stared at the tree and then turned his attention to Bakuda, who had bowed respectfully to him and Zephyr returned it… "Fight!" the voice called and Zephyr charged at Bakuda and began with a flurry of punches that was almost impossible to follow. Bakuda blocked most of them with his forearms and when he saw a slight opening, he ducked down and leg swiped Zephyr and made the fox/wolf trip. As Zephyr fell, Bakuda rose to punch him with an uppercut but Zephyr phased out of the way with amazing speed before the fist could connect, Zephyr appeared behind Bakuda and attempted a roundhouse to Bakuda's head but Bakuda phased out as well, Zephyr growled and he too, phased out of sight…

People in the audience had their jaws to the floor, Vegeta smiled; "Finally! A decent fight!" he yelled and everyone glared at him… Silver watched as Zephyr and Bakuda phased in and out of sight with random points in the battle… Zephyr kicking Bakuda in the side… Bakuda punching Zephyr in the side of the face… until they both reappeared to be seen fighting upside down and their body blows a mere blur as they traded them… Silver gulped; "Who are they…" he asked and Bakuda and Zephyr broke apart and landed on opposite tree branches, they charge at each other again and Bakuda blocked a kick from Zephyr and retaliated with a punch to the gut which made Zephyr cough up blood… Zephyr performed a back flip away from Bakuda and succeeded in his foot kicking Bakuda's chin upwards and sent him flying upwards, Zephyr passed behind Bakuda and punched him in the back, which made the Saiyan fall through a few branches and crash in a major dust cloud at the base of the tree…

Zephyr panted for a moment as he watched Bakuda burst from the rubble in a display of power and levitated to a hight where he was level with Zephyr. Zephyr blasted himself to Bakuda who dodged right and delivered a powerful kick to the head to Zephyr and he went sailing into the base of the tree, Zephyr burst himself from the tree and wiped a bit of blood away from his mouth; "I haven't had a fight this good in ages!" he said and Bakuda nodded; "Likewise… now lets stop chatting and let's FIGHT!!!" he yelled and rushed at Zephyr who phased out of the way and let Bakuda crash into the tree head on, Bakuda rebound off the tree and Zephyr reappeared in the same place and grabbed Bakuda's leg, he pulled Bakuda down with him and intended to slam him into the ground but Bakuda forced his hands on the ground and twisted his body so the Zephyr crashed instead of him… Zephyr raised himself from the ground and smirked; "Enough playing around, it's time to turn up the heat!" he yelled as a Chaos Emerald flew out of Zephyr and into his hands and they were enveloped in blue flames.

Zephyr launched at Bakuda who brought up his guard and the flaming fist repeatedly collided with Bakuda skin, who jumped back and blew on his now burnt arms; "Yow! That hurt…" he murmured and looked up to see Zephyr smirking at him and in a fighting stance… Bakuda smirked then released a Dragonball from his sword; "Let's try it like this!" and absorbed the Dragonball into his hands and it was enveloped in red electricity… Bakuda charged at Zephyr who was surprised by the new attack and was struck in the face by a large fist; "Dragon fist!" Bakuda shouted as Zephyr flew back, Zephyr stood up again and was confused on why everyone was on the floor laughing their heads off; :"What's so funny?" he asked to the crowd and Saria choked out; "YOUR HAIR!!!" and Zephyr felt it to find that it was not just spiked… but standing completely parrel by the static! Zephyr growled and shook his head to restore it to its original state. Zephyr then smiled and charged at Bakuda with his hands still ablaze, Bakuda countered a punch by Zephyr with his own electrified fists and a large shockwave burst from the collision…

Zephyr and Bakuda phased out and shockwaves appeared wherever they clashed, Bakuda dashed backwards and Zephyr followed with blazing strikes. Bakuda continued to dodge Zephyrs strikes; "He's way too fast! I need to step it up a bit…" Bakuda thought and launched at Zephyr who was already trying to catch him and ran straight into Bakuda's assault! Bakuda began pummelling Zephyr in the stomach and then kicked him into the air.

Zephyr flew towards the tree but then rebounded off of it and flew back at Bakuda, but both passed out… a shockwave was created when Bakuda blocked a flaming punch from Zephyr with his knee, Zephyr sending sent a flame blast toward Bakuda who blocked it with a surge of electricity… Zephyr and Bakuda both stood on the ground and both began a spin dash; they launched at each other and rebounded off… Bakuda and Zephyr continued to collide as if they were magnetic meteors…

After a few more collisions, Bakuda collided with Zephyr and both were seen with one fist implanted within each others face, they broke apart then Zephyr charged at Bakuda with a punch drawn who phased out, Bakuda tied to strike Zephyr with a wild swipe with the arm but Zephyr phased out also, Bakuda dodged a uppercut and Zephyr avoided a roundhouse… a blast broke them apart and Zephyr was sent flying with Bakuda chasing him. Bakuda raised both hands down upon Zephyrs back and knocked him down towards the tree.

Zephyr forward flipped and landed softly on a branch, Bakuda landed on a branch and lowered into a fighting position again… Zephyr panted heavily; "This entire match… not anyone has shone any sign of dominance… I believe that… The winner win be ecstatic to win… I have to… Tell you how it fells!" he shouted and fired a blast of flame towards Bakuda who dropped off the back of his branch to avoid it.

Bakuda fired a ki blast toward Zephyr who brought up his guard and charged 'through' it! Bakuda was surprised by this and with the lapse in concentration, Zephyr kicked Bakuda I the face with two feet and forced Bakuda toward the ground. Bakuda crashed into the ground and got up slowly but seemed not to be harmed; "That the best you can do Zephyr?!" he yelled and Zephyr brought his arms up and cried at the top of his voice; "HADOKEN!" and fired a massive blue blast toward Bakuda who stood his ground; "Alright…" and waited for the blast to be upon him… he then focused his energy and swatted the Hadoken away from him and into the sky!

Zephyr floated down to the ground with a broad smile; "You're good, but you need more than good to beat me!" and charged at Bakuda and tried to punch him with his burning fists but Bakuda grabbed his hands and the electricity from Bakuda's 'Dragon fist' and Zephyr's 'Shakunetsuken' (Flamed hands) and this made large red and blue lightning blasts around them… Zephyr and Bakuda tried to push each other back as the ground around them shattered and began to fly up into the air…

With the others

Piccolo growled; "How can both of them have so much power?!" he cried and a few people murmured in agreement. Karnak glanced at them briefly before turning his attention back to a poker game in the corner with Radditz and Nappa; "They might be a problem…" he muttered.

The Fight

Zephyr and Bakuda tried to force the other back eventually pushed forward and punched each other in the face in perfect sync, then they both jumped back to each other and exchanged punches and kicks that shattered nearby rocks… Bakuda burst into the air to break the struggle and focused on his energy; "Zephyr! It's time to see who win right now!" Bakuda cried and began to chant; "KAAAAA…MEEEEE…HAAAAA…MEEEEE…" and a ball of pure blue energy formed in his hands… Zephyr stood up straight and smiled; "Come on… HADO…" and a blue energy formed in Zephyrs hands… Bakuda smirked; "What ever the result… we do it with no regrets or hard feelings! Alright?" he asked and Zephyr smiled; "Lets get this over with…" and Bakuda and Zephyr brought their hands forward; "HAAAAA! / KEEEEEN!"

The two beams clashed together and began to grow in size… Zephyr and Bakuda both tried to push forward their beams toward the other… Zephyr fed more power to his beam and laughed; "You were a great opponent Bakuda!" he cried and the beam came closer to Bakuda… Bakuda smiled also; "As were you!" and the beam travelled toward Zephyr…

With the crowd

Vegeta looked in amazement to the two golden fighters; "How can both of these two have so much power inside them?!" he asked in his head and Minda nodded; "It seems there is no limit to their powers…" she muttered, Saria nodded; "Your not wrong there… this entire match was filled with nothing but pure energy flying everywhere…" she muttered and Silver nodded; "Who ever wins will take on Karnak… but with him fused with Dakuba… will it be enough?" he wondered…

The Fight

Bakuda sighed as he felt the beam began to inch towards him; "Zephyr… you were a worthy opponent… I wish you luck in the fight with Karnak…" he yelled and Zephyrs eyes rose; "You mean?..." he asked in awe as Bakuda nodded; "I can't win! The combined strength of the three Chaos Emeralds and the Master emerald were too overwhelming for me…" he shouted and Zephyr gasped; "Master emerald? What are you on about?!" he cried. Bakuda shook his head; "You didn't realise… but I took the power of the Master Emerald when you fought Knuckles… you hold three Chaos emeralds with the Master Emeralds power residing in them!… you have the best chance of beating Karnak! Do me a favour… do anything it takes to destroy him!" he yelled as the beam enveloped Bakuda…

Zephyr let the beam die and stood watching where Bakuda's body supposedly lay… but when the smoke cleared… he was gone! Not even the glass shards that usually happened when you died during the tournament were there! Zephyr walked back to the 'waiting room' with his head hung… a few people slapped him on the back but he didn't acknowledge this…

"The winner is Zephyr! The final match is Karnak Vs. Zephyr! Zephyr and Karnak will be healed!" and Zephyr found his strength he spent against Bakuda returning…

"The previous fighters will return now!" the voice announced as Tails, Dawn, Adimid, Amelia, Aura, Crystal, Winter, Chaos and Vyse appeared before them… Zephyr walked over to Winter who was ecstatic; "You got to the finals!" she cried happily as Zephyr nodded then looked at Tails who was running around everywhere.

Zephyr ignored this after a second and Karnak joined him on the podium; "It is time Karnak… time to face up to your crimes…" he muttered to Karnak who snorted; "I would like to see you try…" and the battlefield changed to a coliseum. Zephyr and Karnak stood opposite to each other and prepared to charge; "Fight!!!" the announcer boomed.

With the crowd…

Adimid was talking to Minda on the events of the previous match, Silver was happy to see that Crystal was safe and Saria was teasing him for it, Mathias was talking to Amelia about fighting with magic too… but Amelia forced him off to comfort Dawn… who was distressed about Dakuba being absorbed by Karnak but Amelia had calmed him down immediately, Vyse stood in the corner and talked to Chaos… but Chaos walked off muttering under her breath after 5 minutes… he sighed and went to go congratulate Zephyr.

Piccolo looked at the distressed Tails; "What is the matter Tails?" he asked softly as Tails looked around wildly; "I have looked everywhere but I can't find Bakuda!" he cried and Piccolo raised an eyebrow; "He should be here somewhere… unless…" he snapped his gaze back to Zephyr…

"Bakuda… you sly fox…" the Namekian smiled.
