Don't own a thing.
"Should I kill him master?" the tall, slender man said.
Rafeeka just smirked and said, "you have already defeated him Confident, my eternal flame already grew from that. There's no need to kill him, just give him back to his friends and let's get the others."
Confident nodded and reached down toward the man and grabbed him by the head. He picked him up easily and threw him towards the Z-fighters who gasped upon realizing who he was. He landed at 18's feet, blood spilling onto her shoes. "Krillin!" she screamed getting down on her knees and picking him up in her arms, "please not again! Please!" The Z-fighters ran to her and tried to wake Krillin somehow.
"He's still alive," Bulma said, "he'll be fine, he just needs some rest, and a sensu bean wouldn't hurt."
"We have better than that!" Goku said grabbing Dende and nudging him forward. Dende was now as big as Piccolo was before he died, although he was still substantially younger than the great Namek. Dende kneeled down and placed his hands on Krillin's chest. Light illuminated Krillin's body and his eyes popped open in surprise.
"Krillin?" 18 said softly.
"18?" Krillin said softly, "what happened?" He sat up and saw his attackers, "oh I remember now."
"A healer?" Rafeeka said, "how convenient. Well Z-fighters I've read quite a lot about you. Let's make this battle interesting. I'm sure 17 explained to you why I'm here." The Z-fighters nodded and took defensive positions. "Relax, I wanna have some fun. I hear you guys like the martial arts tournaments so I decided to imitate it."
"What?" Goku said, "oh great now we got another Cell. What is this gonna be called the Rafeeka games?"
Rafeeka laughed and said, "call it whatever you want, my objective is the same. Every single one of you, except that green healer has been touched with the eternal flame. I would have to defeat or kill every single one of you to get the power I need. I'm sure you don't want me to hurt those women, Chichi, Bulma, and Videl, who don't even have powers. Or Bulla and Marron, who's powers are weak. Or the little three year old do you?" Majuub pushed Michael behind him and took a defensive position. "Take it easy savage boy, I am trying to find an alternative to hurting the defenseless. It's not my style. I kill people, yes, but they are far from defenseless."
"It's simple," Rafeeka continued, "chose your best fighters to represent your whole entire group and we all duke it out in the martial arts tournament style. If I become champion then your eternal flame powers will come to me, don't worry you'll still keep your youth for eternity. If one of you should become champion, I will leave this planet and never return. Even 17 could testify that I strongly believe in fair-play."
The Z-Senshi looked at 17 who nodded in approval. "Fine," Goku said, "when and where?"
"Here and now!" Rafeeka said snapping her fingers and making a martial arts tournament ring appear. "If you fall out, get knocked out, give up, or die I win. If you manage to do the same to one of my warriors than you win." Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, Pan, Gohan, Majuub, Yamcha, Tien, Chiatzu, and 18 stepped forward.
"18 no!" Krillin said.
"This bitch hurt you, I will fight!" 18 said fiercely. Krillin nodded and stepped back he knew when his wife was determined to do something. A tournament board appeared and each of the fighters' pictures appeared at different levels. It was evidently weakest to strongest. The lowest level had 17 vs. a big buff looking man. 17 was crossed out and the man was at the next level. Rafeeka made him appear and said, "this is Angry, he defeated 17."
Next to that was 16's picture vs. a beautiful girl with an emo expression. 16 was crossed off the girl was on the next level. Rafeeka made her appear and said, "this is Sad, she defeated 16." Krillin's picture was next to the tall, slender man whom they knew as Confident. Krillin was crossed off and confident was on the next level. Yamcha's picture was next to another girl's picture, she smiled brightly and looked childish. Rafeeka made her appear and said, "this is shy. She will be fighting you Yamcha go ahead." Yamcha gulped and got on the platform. Shy was on the opposite side biting her nails and shying away from the harsh glares of the Z-fighters. Yamcha launched his wolf attack which Shy dodged without removing her finger from her mouth or changing her expression. She giggled and blushed when the Z-fighters gasped at her speed. Yamcha attacked again. Shy simply dodged the punch and kicked him right in the stomach. Yamcha went flying off the platform and was unconscious on the grass.
"Whoa! She's strong!" Goku said scratching his head. In the next row, Tien's picture was next to Angry's, Chiatzu's was next to Sad's, 18's was next to Confident's, and Pan's was next to Shy's. Tien walked up to the platform and immediately started hitting Angry with his strongest attack. Angry was crashed into the ground but immediately got up and grabbed Tien by the leg. Tien yelped and Angry whipped him around crashing him into the floor and into nearby trees. Then Angry stopped and let go of Tien who slipped down to the floor unconscious.
"Damn!" Trunks said, "this is not good." Dende had finished healing 17, 16, and Yamcha and was now starting to work on Tien. Chiatzu gulped and looked back at his fallen friend.
"Oh Tien," Chiatzu said crying softly. Sad started to cry upon seeing Chiatzu's emotion.
"I know how you feel," she said lunging into an attack. Chiatzu dodged it and latched onto her back. Sad let herself fall backwards onto the ground smashing Chiatzu underneath her. Chiatzu screamed in agony and Sad flew up into the air, free of Chiatzu's grip. She zoomed down and crashed her fist into Chiatzu's stomach going right through him. Everyone gasped in horror as Sad simply threw Chiatzu's lifeless body off the platform and wiped a tear off her eye. Tien yelled out and tried to reach his friend but was held back by Goku.
"I'm sorry Tien, it's too late. We can't do anything now," he said softly.
"No, Chiatzu!" Tien said falling down to his knees in tears.
18 growled and walked up to the platform, "you monster! You'll pay for that!"
Confident walked onto the platform and gave her wicked smirk, "we'll see about that." He shot a Ki blast which 18 easily blocked. Confident launched a fury of punches at her face and 18 had a hard time dodging them. He got some in but she dodged most of them. Confident transported behind her and kicked her head down to the floor. She looked at Krillin's worried face and tightened her hands. This monster had almost killed Krillin again, and this time there were no dragonballs to wish him back. She growled and jumped at Confident landing a punch right in his face. He went flying and she appeared behind him and kicked his back. He flew up into the air and she smacked him down into the floor with a mighty punch. He crashed into the floor and was struggling to get up.
"Oh no you don't!" 18 screamed appearing on the ground and kicking him straight in the face. Confident groaned in pain and flew off the platform and onto the ground. The Z-fighters jumped up in glee and cheered on 18's victory. Confident stood up groggily and bowed deeply to Rafeeka saying, "I'm sorry Master, I failed you." Rafeeka growled and recalled Confident back into her body. 18 sat down next to Krillin satisfied with herself. She kissed Krillin deeply on the lips then said, "no one hurts my man!"
"That's right and I'm not letting anyone touch mine," Pan said walking up to the platform defiantly. Shy looked at her timidly and bit her finger. "I'm not falling for your stupid act," Pan shouted jumping into the air and attacking. Trunks observed nervously as his new wife lunged at an impossibly strong foe. Pan punched the girl directly in the forehead making her head fling back. Her body didn't move an inch and her head just laid back.
Shy lifted her head to look at Pan again, she gave her small smile and wiped the blood off her forehead where Pan had punched her. "Ouchie," she said giggling. The Z-fighters couldn't believe what they were seeing, this girl was bleeding profusely from her head and she was teasing her attacker. Pan simply growled and punched again. This time Shy grabbed her hand and twisted it roughly breaking Pan's arm. Pan screamed in agony making Trunks and Gohan flinch and almost jump into the ring. Shy giggled again and said, "now that was an ouchie!" Pan cried in pain and Shy giggled lifting up her leg and kicking Pan right out of the ring. Pan cringed in pain on the floor and Trunks and Gohan ran to her. They heard Videl's cries from behind them and Chichi struggling to keep her still. Gohan carried Pan out of the way and Trunks ran next to them crying.
Dende immediately started working his magic and Trunks remained holding her hand the whole time. Videl joined her daughter and held her hand tightly, "Pan," she cried, "please be ok." The next row had Majuub versus Angry, 18 versus Sad, and Goten versus Shy. Majuub took a deep breath and took a step forward but stopped when a hand grabbed his. Marron held him tightly and kissed him on the lips, "please be careful."
"I will," Majuub said caressing her head. Marron stepped back and hugged her mom and dad who were sitting on the floor watching the whole ordeal.
"He'll be fine honey," Krillin said softly, "he's a great fighter." Marron nodded and went back to Michael who was waiting patiently with Chichi, Bulma, and Videl. Majuub stood on the platform looking at Angry who gritted his teeth and threw threatening punches. "Come on already," Majuub said. Angry launched at him. Majuub quickly dodged the attack and lifted up his knee to crash Angry in the stomach. Majuub interlocked his hands and cracked him on the back. He kicked him up back into the air and shot a Ki blast. The Ki blast crashed right through his body making him fall dead on the floor. The Z-fighters gasped as Majuub simply walked off the platform with an expressionless mask. Rafeeka growled and recalled Angry back into her body then she seemed to calm down.
"Wowsers," Goku said, "You didn't show mercy at all Majuub."
"Well they didn't show mercy on Chiatzu," Majuub said walking over to Tien who was crying on Lunch's shoulder. Majuub put a hand on Tien's shoulder and said, "that was for you."
18 got on the platform again, she had advanced to the next round so now she had to face Sad. 18 took a fighting stance and prepared herself, this girl was way tougher than Confident. Sad sniffled and wiped a tear from her eye. "Angry was a good friend of mine and your friend killed him," she cried, "now it's your turn." Krillin and Marron gave a collective gulp as Sad moved so fast not even Goku saw her. She kicked 18 right in the stomach. 18 groaned and spit out blood. Sad punched her in the face making her fly toward the house. Sad appeared behind her and kicked her up into the air, then did it again but down to the platform. 18 slid on the platform and almost fell unconscious, she was struggling to keep her eyes open. Sad came crashing down onto her spine making it crack. 18 screamed in agony as blood seeped out of her nose, mouth, and head. Her body trembling from the pain and the impact. She looked over to Krillin and Marron who were crying. Majuub was holding Marron trying to keep her calm.
"I have a family," 18 whispered to herself as Sad picked her up by the hair and pressed her palm against her chest, "I can't do this to them." She found the courage to scream and said, "STOP!!!! I QUIT, I SURRENDER!" Tears were flowing down her eyes and she felt ashamed of herself but she knew she couldn't win, she knew she would die and no one would be able to wish her back. Sad cried and said, "too late." She started powering up her Ki and the Z-fighters gasped. Krillin screamed out 18's name and Goku jumped into the ring, "Hey she quit!! Stop!"
"SAD!" Rafeeka yelled. Everyone froze and watched Rafeeka give her counterpart a harsh glare. Sad cried and released 18. She walked off the platform and to Rafeeka, "I apologize master," she said bowing and crying.
"Next time, you do it without me telling you to, got it."
"Yes master."
18 couldn't keep her eyes open any longer and she was unconscious Krillin tried to run onto the platform but Gohan stopped him, he was scared that Sad would attack him. Goku was next to 18 before anybody else could react. He used instant transmission to take her Dende who immediately placed his hands upon her chest. Krillin grabbed her hand and cried, "oh God," he said, "please don't leave me."
"I know the feeling," Trunks said hugging Pan tighter, she had recovered and was sitting on his lap. 18 woke up and groaned in pain.
"Be careful," Dende said, "you're healed but she broke your spine it's gonna hurt for a little while. Don't worry all the bones are fixed and back in place just be very careful, at this moment they're very delicate."
18 groaned and nodded in understanding. "Thanks Dende," Krillin said. He gave 18 a kiss on the forehead.
"Majuub," she said, the native boy went to her with Marron who grabbed her hand tightly.
"Mom, are you okay?" Marron said.
"Yes hun," she said, "Majuub don't fight that monster."
"What? But…."
"NO!" she said groaning at the effort, "listen to me, she's a lot stronger than you think. She wasn't even using half of her strength on me Majuub. Please don't fight her, if you love my daughter, don't do it."
"But the world…"
"No Majuub," 18 said, "not even Vegeta stands a chance, "all our hope lies on Goku. It's on Goku's shoulder's once again, trust in him and don't fight her."
"Please Majuub," Marron said hugging him and crying.
"Oh alright," Majuub said.
Vegeta heard what 18 said and he almost exploded with anger. Kakkarot, everything depended on Kakkarot. No more, he was gonna have his glory even if it killed him. He was taken out of his self-fulfilling prophecy by rage when he saw Bulla locking lips with Kakkarot's son. He growled as Goten wrapped his arms around Bulla's slender body and pulled her closer. His hands wandered down to her butt where they grabbed her cheeks firmly. She gasped and laughed against his lips. "JUST GET IN THE RING!" Vegeta screamed making the young couple jump and pull apart. Gohan and Trunks giggled but immediately shut their mouths when Vegeta gave them a harsh glare.
Goten put a serious face on as he went face to face with Shy who just blushed and gave him a sweet smile. "How can you possibly be so evil?" he said taking a fighting stance.
"I'm not," Shy responded timidly, "my master is."
Goten sighed and said, "alrighty then, I guess I'll have to take you down, you really hurt my niece."
Shy shrugged as if embarrassed and launched a Ki blast at Goten's head. Goten blocked it and turned super saiyan. Shy actually changed her reaction upon seeing this and said, "hey you look cute as a blonde!" She started giggling when she heard a loud growl from behind her. Bulla was wishing she was stronger so she could tear that girl apart.
"Enough of you!" Goten said. "KA-ME-HA-ME…HAH!!!!!!!" Shy giggled as the blast approached her quickly. She simply put out her hand and stopped the attack dead in it's tracks. Everyone gasped as she simply smiled and pushed the energy wave right back at Goten who couldn't move fast enough. His own attack sent him flying out of the ring and into his normal state. Goku and Gohan helped the injured saiyan to Dende who was visibly exhausted but willing to continue. The next row said Majuub versus Sad and Trunks versus Shy. Majuub put his hands in the air and said, "I forfeit."
Rafeeka smiled and changed Majuub's picture with Gohan's. Gohan gulped and walked onto the ring. "Be careful son," Goku called out. Gohan nodded and took his stance as the distressed girl walked onto the ring. Gohan turned super saiyin before she could even make a move.
"I wanna be blonde too!" she cried grabbing her red locks and sobbing. Gohan growled and launched at her. Sad back flipped out of the way and sent a Ki blast at him. Gohan dodged the attack and started throwing punches and kicks. They were evenly matched and no one could seem to land a punch. Finally Sad yawned and said, "I'm bored." She sent a kick into Gohan gut and kicked him in the face once he was down sending him flying off the ring. Gohan returned to his normal state and wiped the blood off his nose. He growled and walked to the Z-fighters, he was the only one that didn't come out deadly injured. He simply sat at the table, pouted and said, "sorry I failed dad."
"It's ok son," Goku said, "you tried your best."
Trunks gulped and clenched his fists as Shy waited in the ring for him. He was ready to go when his father stopped him. "Father?" he said warily.
"Son," Vegeta said, "find her weakness, remember all her other fights and how she beat them. You can do it son. Do it for me, and do it for your wife who almost died at the hands of that bitch."
Trunks nodded in understanding and walked onto the ring. Shy started giggling upon seeing her opponent and said, "ooo! Purple hair!"
Trunks took his fighting stance and said, "Not for long!" He jumped into super saiyan and waited for her to make the first move. Trunks knew that making the first move was a fatal one, but waiting for her to do it was even worse. He had to trick her and attack from behind, a frontal attack wouldn't work. Before Trunks could even move he was kicked roughly in the face. Shy smiled and kneed him in the stomach. Trunks cried out and spit out blood. Shy kicked him in the back of his head and down to the floor. Trunks looked weakly up to his father, who was clenching his fists in anger, and his wife who bit her nails worriedly. He couldn't allow this to happen. He only had little energy left, but he wasn't going to let this monster defeat him. Trunks jumped up in the air and let out a stomach-churning yell as he jumped into super saiyan 2. He lunged at Shy who swiftly punched him in the face only to go right through his body. It was an illusion and Trunks took advantage of Shy's confusion to transport himself behind her and kick her in the face. Shy, being caught off guard, flew off the platform and onto the grass.
There was a collective gasp and a proud laugh from Vegeta as Shy stood up in her spot, realizing she had just lost. Trunks fell down to the floor in his normal state and fell unconscious. Although Trunks had won, he could no longer fight. Therefore, the next round was Sad versus Vegeta. Goten and Gohan carried unconscious Trunks to Dende and Pan and Vegeta got on the platform. Shy frowned for the first time and walked over to Rafeeka who just glared back at her.
"I told you to stop playing games!" Rafeeka yelled.
Shy drooped her head and said, "sorry master." Rafeeka growled and recalled Shy back into her body. Sad walked onto the platform and said, "Your son made my master mad, now you will pay!"
"Ha!" Vegeta said smirking, "you may have defeated Gohan, but you didn't even leave a scratch on him! I am much stronger than Gohan! You don't have a chance!"
Sad cried out and launched her attack. Vegeta smirked and jumped into super saiyan 2, his energy alone blasting Sad away. Vegeta didn't even let her recover, he transported himself behind her and slammed her down to the floor. Sad lay on the floor helpless, but Vegeta showed no mercy. Instead he extended his hand and placed his palm on her face.
"NOOO!" Rafeeka yelled trying to run into the ring.
But it was too late. Vegeta released a monumental blast that burned Sad to ashes. Rafeeka cried and fell to her knees, the ashes of her counterpart going back into her body. Then she stopped crying and seemed calm. "Damn you all," she said calmly. "This is not the last you'll ever see of me. For that you will pay. I will make new counterparts, stronger counterparts, and then I'll finish off what I started."
Vegeta smirked and said, "I don't think so!" He transported behind her and grabbed her by the neck. "I finally save the world by myself!" he shouted, "Kakkarot has always done it before! He even beat Frieza, the destroyer of our race! Now it's my turn! Kakkarot made the mistake and letting Frieza go and he came back! He let Dr. Gero go and he created those androids and Cell. His son Gohan played around with Cell and Kakkarot ended out having to sacrifice his life. Well I'm not gonna make that mistake now that I'm the one who saved the universe. It's my turn!" Vegeta placed his palm on Rafeeka's face and yelled out, "final blast!"
Everyone gasped as the light faded and all the was left was Vegeta standing in front of a pile of ashes. Goku walked up to Vegeta now and extended his hand. Vegeta shook it firmly and Goku said, "you did it! I knew you could! I always knew."
"YEAH DAD!" Bulla said running onto the ring and hugging her father.
"Yes father! I knew you could do it!" Trunks said joining in the hug.
Now Bulma joined the hug turning to Chichi to say, "that's my husband."
Vegeta finally did get to save the world and now he would keep doing it alongside Goku because they had a whole eternity to do it. Majuub and Marron ended out having three more children after Michael. Pan and Trunks had two boys who became super saiyans just as fast as Goten and Trunks had when they were young. Goten and Bulla fooled around for quite a few years until Vegeta beat Goten up and forbade to sleep with his daughter until they were married. Afterwards they had about seven children-evidently, they don't believe in condoms. Gohan retired from teaching and went back to being the great saiyaman with Videl. Goku and Chichi resumed their regular life, with Goku leaving occasionally to train somewhere for many years, then returning. Vegeta and Bulma were the same as they had always been, but now that age wasn't a factor the sex was wilder than ever.
Tien asked 17 to place the eternal flame on Lunch and they both went off to Namek to ask them to let them wish back Chiatzu with their dragon balls. 16 went on a space adventure to meet new people and discover new things. 17 made a life of his own, by marrying a beautiful young woman, which stayed young thanks to the eternal flame, and having two children-twins. The boy had black hair and icy blue eyes, and the girl had blonde hair and icy blue eyes. 18 and Krillin started traveling around the world and returned with a new child, whom they named Hercule because of the money the man had given them. It meant the world to Videl after the man died of old age. Ironically, Hercule would end out marrying Videl and Gohan's second daughter, Deloris-which was Videl's mother's name.
THE END
By the way none of these names are real! Like anybody in Dragonball would be named Deloris! lol
