So
now, without further ado…
The Ultimate Largely Massive Pointlessly-Named Big Final Bout Super Tournament... 5 – chapter 3!!!
"Leanne! Wake up, already!!"
Leanne
slowly opened her eyes, taking a look around the medical room.
"What… what hit me?" she asked. Lisa
shyly stepped forward.
"I'm afraid that was me… sorry…" she
replied, apologetically. Then she added "…but it was Gokan's fault!" Gokan gave
Lisa the dirtiest look possible, as though to say 'I'm gonna kill ya!' DJ
stepped in, as usual.
"Will you two just give it a rest? Who
gives a crap whether or not Gokan's name is funny!?"
"I do!" Lisa replied. "How's a girl
supposed to beat her opponent when she's laughing out loud at his name?"
"Hah! Like a prissy little bitch like
you is gonna beat me anyway!" Gokan retorted. It wasn't like Goku or Gohan to
be this aggressive, but there was something about this fusion that allowed the
both of them to get angry quickly.
"If you two don't stop arguing I'll
beat the living Hell outta both of you myself!" DJ exclaimed. Both Lisa and
Gokan effortlessly pummelled DJ into the ground. "…or not…" Leanne shot a look
of disgust in Lisa's direction, then in Gokan's.
"What did you guys do to DJ!?" she
exclaimed.
"He asked for it." Gokan replied.
"Who asked you, Gokan?" Lisa retorted.
Now, despite being shy and quiet almost all of the time, even Amy had seen
enough.
"For crying out loud, stop fighting or
there'll be nothing left of you to even fight in the damned tournament!" Amy
cried. "And if you beat DJ up, I won't be able to cheer him on…"
"Don't forget what I discussed, Amy.
You're NOT backing out." Lisa said. Amy really didn't want to take part,
because she really hated fighting, but Lisa was determined for Amy to take
part, just so that there'd be a chance for them to go against each other. Now
it was Zori's turn to step in.
"Listen, we don't REALLY wanna be
tearing at each other's throats, right?" he asked. "I thought we were all
supposed to be friends?"
"Zori's right," Amy chimed in. "This
isn't even the place for bloodshed…"
"Oh, shut up, Blimp Boobs!" Vegeta
shot. "You're lovey-dovey cutesy attitude is puke-inducing!" Amy glared at
Vegeta.
"Why don't you just take a freakin'
break, you overconfident freak!?" Vegeta was about to get up and kick Amy out
of existence when a final sudden jolt of the ferry sent everyone to the floor.
"Now what?" DJ asked. Zeon took a
quick peek through the window. There were mostly trees in the way, but he could
see a long, golden beach with marble steps leading a path to a gigantic
stadium.
"I think… we've just arrived…" Zeon
said.
It
had taken nearly half an hour to board everyone onto the ferry, but unloading
the passengers seemed more like 30 seconds.
"What a relief!" Angel exclaimed.
"That is the absolute last time I travel by sea!"
"How are you feeling?" Hawk asked.
"Well, my stomach's churning like a
cheese vat, but I'm OK. Kinda wish I'd packed some seasickness capsules,
though…" Then Gokan remembered something.
"Hey, that reminds me! I've heard that
Capsule Corporation are sponsoring this tournament!" he said. Lisa just stared.
"What did that have to do with
anything?" she asked.
"… I hate you." Gokan retorted. DJ had
put up with enough of this, so he ignored them and started on his way up the
marble path.
"Come on, you two! We're almost
there!" Amy chimed before running up to follow DJ. Gokan and Lisa were getting
into one of their arguments again.
"You know, it was pretty stupid of you
to attack that Leanne girl…" Gokan started.
"What!? You evaded my attack!" Lisa
retorted. "You weren't supposed to do that!"
"And let myself get damaged? That was
a pretty hard punch you used. Some friend to her you turned out to be!"
"Are you SEARCHING for a few
dislocated limbs!? It's not like I critically injured her, or anything!" While
Gokan and Lisa were busy arguing, Leanne seemed to be lagging behind, as though
in deep thought.
"……why was I headed here again?"
There
wasn't really that much to do when they got to the top of the hill, at least as
far as registration was concerned. Everyone just went up to the desk, signed
their names up on this long slip of paper, and then went off to enjoy the
sights. Zori seemed a little upset, however.
"We have to wait until tomorrow for
the tournament?!" he exclaimed. "I really wanted to sock it to that Gokan creep
for what he's been putting Lisa-Chan through!" Zeon knew that maybe it would be
a good time to keep quiet, but felt he had to speak anyway.
"Zori, Lisa-Chan was starting those
little arguments, you know…" he said. "She shouldn't have been making fun of
his name…"
"Well then, he shouldn't take every
little damn thing so seriously!"
"Well, how would you feel if you had a
name that people liked to laugh at?" Zeon asked. "Get your head out of the
clouds for two seconds and put yourself in Gokan's position…" Zeon stopped as
he saw a lone figure looking out toward the sea. He looked about five feet and
eight inches tall, with black hair in Future Gohan's style. His black eyes
barely moved, even when Zeon approached him.
"Pretty rough tonight, huh?" Zeon
asked. Of course, this was the same sea their ferry had just been hurtled into
the beach by. "Hey, something on your mind, buddy?"
Funny.
No response.
"I don't think he really feels like
talking, Zeon." Zori suggested. "Let's just go find Lisa-Chan…"
"Hey, Zori, we came here to explore,
not chase her ass all over the place!" Zeon retorted. Zori suddenly blushed
immensely.
"L-Lisa-Chan's…? gulp!" Zori
couldn't stop himself toppling over and rolling a few hundred metres down the
hill. This made the new figure laugh a little.
"Looks like your friend's got a crush
on someone…" he said, as he turned to search for training grounds elsewhere.
"Wait! Who are you?" Zeon asked. The
figure paused for a while, then continued on his way again.
"My name… is Delon."
Meanwhile,
it was mealtime once again for the Flamewinds, and Xell's girlfriend Hitomi,
who had kept her travels toward this island a secret until she felt like
finding Xell (meaning she just spotted him unexpectedly and joined the party).
Hawk and Xell had already cleared out five plates between them, and it still
wasn't enough to replenish the energy they'd spent training. Angel was looking
through a menu, as she hadn't even ordered her food yet.
"Hey, what is this!?" Angel exclaimed.
"I am not a prostitute!!" Hawk paused for a second.
"Nobody said you were, Angel." He
replied. "Besides, I'm the only guy you'll let near you. How come?"
"Well then, why should I need a
Whore's Duvet?" Now it was Xell's turn to stop eating. Hawk was checking
through the menu.
"Where does it say that?" Hawk asked.
Xell took the menu from Hawk and quickly glanced through it.
"Err, you guys?" Xell started. "It
says Hors D'oeuvres…"
"Oh…" Angel said. "I knew that.
Hee-hee…" Hitomi just tried to take the menu from Xell, but he quickly moved it
away playfully to tease her.
"Hey, Xell, will you watch where
you're waving that thing?" Hawk suggested as he jerked his head back to
narrowly escape getting the menu stuffed in his face. Angel just giggled as
Hawk dodged the menu another few times, only to finally get hit at the last
second.
"Whups. Sorry, Hawk…" Xell said,
apologetically.
"I told you to be careful with that!"
Hawk exclaimed. "You're acting like a little kid!" Then, in an unthinkable act
of anger, Hawk grabbed the menu from Xell and threw it across the room. Zori,
who had just arrived with Zeon, leaped into the air, grabbed the menu and
front-flipped toward the group, landing perfectly. Zeon quickly followed,
keeping his feet on the ground, this time.
"Hey, guys." Angel called. "What
brings you here?"
"Umm… you guys haven't seen Lisa-Chan
anywhere, have you?" Zori asked.
"You're still chasing after
her?" Angel asked.
"Haven't you seen how she treats Amy?"
added Hitomi.
"Ah, she's only teasing." Zori stated.
"Now, have you seen her?" Zeon was scanning the area to check for anyone else.
"She's not here, Zori…" he confirmed.
"Let's try somewhere else. You guys wanna come?"
"It'll have to wait until after food…"
Hawk said, as he quickly polished off another helping of pie. Satisfied that
his energy was replenished, he added "OK. We can search now."
Bakaryu
was hanging out in the arcades with Gokan, Thomas, Jedite and DJ. No prizes for
guessing which particular arcade DJ was on.
"How can he dance for so long?" Gokan
inquired. "Especially after being on that ferry…"
"I'm not sure." replied Bakaryu. "I'm
sure if I'd known DJ for longer I'd have some idea, but I've only known him as
long as you…" Thomas had decided not to actually say anything for the time
being. Even Jedite remained silent, and the only sounds that could be heard
were the happy tune of "www.blondegirl" and the sounds of DJ's feet connecting
with the panels. Gokan decided to be the first to speak, but waited until DJ
finished dancing to the track.
"Hey, DJ, how come you're not with
Amy, Lisa and the girl Lisa nearly killed?" he asked.
"You mean Leanne? Don't worry, a punch
like that couldn't kill her." DJ replied. "In fact, it must have been a pretty
strategic blow, as that punch would have been lucky to phase any of us…"
"So, why are you over here if they're
elsewhere?" Bakaryu asked.
"I dunno, they're at some place for
girls, I guess. The only person who wanted me to go with them was Amy…"
"Oh, well. Not that I particularly
care about Lisa anyway…" Gokan said.
"What is the problem with you two
anyway?" Jedite inquired.
"I just don't like it when people make
fun of my name… I mean, the names Goku and Gohan are OK, right? So why make fun
of Gokan?"
"Ah, Lisa-Chan just likes to tease…"
DJ explained. "You should see her around Amy. Lisa likes to tease Amy a lot,
but only to wind her up and get her to tease back, you know?"
"And if Amy just happens to cry?"
Gokan interrupted. DJ's face took on a more serious expression.
"If Amy's feelings are hurt, Lisa
feels terrible… I don't know why she continues to tease, knowing that there's a
chance of making Amy cry. I guess it's just another form of training."
"WHAT!?" Gokan exclaimed. "You mean
she's training me!? What would Master Roshi think if he knew I were being
trained by a girl?" DJ shuddered. He knew exactly what Master Roshi would
think, but to describe it would increase the parental level dramatically! 'What
a pervert…' DJ thought.
"Don't feel too bad about it, Gokan…"
Thomas finally spoke. "If Lisa-Chan teases Amy in an attempt to get her to
retaliate, then why do you think she's doing the same with you? Try teasing her
back and see what happens…"
"Tease her back?" Gokan asked. "But
there's nothing wrong with it…" DJ fainted.
"He's not talking about Lisa's back,
Gokan! He means you have to strike back against her…"
"Oh, I get it now. Hey, I guess while
I'm thinking about it I could give one of these dance machines a try…" Gokan
read the sign next to the machine:
Dance Dance Revolution Series: Dancing Stage Euromix 2
One single game = ¥100. Versus and Double modes = ¥200.
Gokan took a ¥100 coin out of his pocket and was about to insert it into the machine when a pair of blue eyes caught his attention. Another new character, this time with brown hair and a sword on his back, was watching Gokan.
"You wouldn't mind if I challenged
you, would you?" he asked. Gokan saw no problem.
"Sure, but this is my first time on
the machine…" Gokan replied.
"Hey, mine too. You in the tournament
tomorrow?"
"Yep. I assume you are too, right?"
"Yeah. You see, the village I'm from
isn't really financially great, so I decided the prize money of the tournament
would be a great way to give it a kick-start, you know?"
"Sounds like a noble cause to me! So,
what's your name?"
"They call me Zin." DJ figured this
would be a good time to scout for DDR competitors, but since there wasn't
anyone else around, he had to see whether Gokan and Zin could grasp the concept
of the game. After watching DJ so much in the past few minutes, Gokan felt he
had this in the bag. But right before anyone could start dancing Zori rushed up
to DJ, knocking him backward and flying into Gokan and Zin!
"Hey! Gokan, you ruined my moment!"
Gokan exclaimed as he kicked everyone off him. "I was in my prime, too!"
"Sorry, but have you guys seen
Lisa-Chan anywhere?" Zori asked.
"You came all this way to ask me about
HER?"
"I know where she is," DJ said. "But
maybe now's not a good time…"
"Any time to see her beauty has gotta
be a good time!" Zori replied. It was clear that he was gaining more experience
when it came to actions whenever Lisa-Chan was involved.
"Umm… OK. Sure…" DJ gave up and led
the way, with just about everyone else in the entire story following him!
Of
course, there was also a hot springs area on the island (oh my God, you can
probably guess what's going to happen!) and Amy and Leanne were just relaxing
in the outside area.
"How long is Lisa gonna be in that hot
spring?" Leanne asked. Amy just stretched and yawned, her towel miraculously
staying in the same place.
"She likes hot places. I mean, she is
a fire-type after all." Amy explained. "Besides, if she allows her body to get
really hot, she needs lots of ice cream to cool off, and boy does she love
finding excuses to eat ice cream!"
"You mean, like you like to find
excuses to eat everything else?"
"Hey, leave me alone…" Amy whined.
"Just because YOU somehow use up so little energy that you never seem to be
hungry! Sometimes I question whether or not you truly are a RocketGirl…" Leanne
stood up and glared at Amy.
"So, the special powers, evolution and
big chest aren't evidence enough for you, huh?" she exclaimed. Amy was about to
reply when she heard a familiar voice calling out for Lisa-Chan.
"Hey, do you hear Zori's voice?" Amy
asked.
"Don't change the subject, Amy!"
Leanne retorted.
"Wait, I'm serious. I just heard Zori
calling out for Lisa…" Then, as though summoned with the Dragonballs
themselves, who should walk into the room but Zori, Zeon, DJ, Gokan, Bakaryu,
Thomas, Jedite, Angel, Hawk, Xell, Delon, Zin, Hitomi and a new friend, Kage?
Kage had blue spiked hair resembling that of SSJ2 Gohan. He had blue eyes, and
wore a blue Gi shaped in a V showing off his muscles. He wore red baggy pants
stopping at his knees and Goku's style of boots.
"Do you ALWAYS travel in such a big
group?" asked a very wide-eyed Leanne.
"Sorry, but we were just looking for
Lisa-Chan…" Zori explained. "We kinda found everyone, plus some new friends,
and I just really wanted to know where Lisa-Chan is…"
"Yup. All this to find Lisa-Chan. It's
as though she were kidnapped, or something…" DJ sighed.
"Well, she was…" Leanne said. "…by the
hot spring! She's been in there over an hour!"
"Thanks!" Zori called as he rushed
through. Not knowing what else to do, the rest of the group followed him.
"Wait!" Amy called. "You can't go in
there!" It was too late for commands, however, as everyone had practically
stormed in to where Lisa was peacefully relaxing. She didn't even budge an
inch, nor open an eye as she sat peacefully in the spring, seemingly asleep.
"Lisa-Chan! I've found you at last!"
Zori called. Zeon was in deep thought by now. Where had Zori got all this
confidence from? He'd usually be cowering away and blushing a lot, but
somewhere along the line he'd become determined to find Lisa-Chan, no matter
what she happened to be doing. Right now, she wasn't even wearing anything, so
it was a good thing for her the water wasn't completely transparent. Zori's
call had at least awakened her, however.
"Zori? What's going on?" she asked. DJ
realised that Lisa obviously wasn't fully awake. She'd actually stood up now,
and was only up to her waist in water.
"This can't be good…" DJ said,
as he blushed immensely in synchronisation with every guy in the area. This was
quickly followed by a highly audible scream from Lisa-Chan…
Right,
there's chapter three done. I know a few people back at the Final Bout board
who've been waiting for this! ;) In chapter 4 we'll finally get the actual
tournament under way! It's mostly been humour so far, really, so we'll be glad
to get some action into this fic soon, but humour's always good (unlike poor Lisa-Chan's
predicament back there :p ) so, stay tuned and don't forget the usual rules of
reviewing!
