Chapter 6 The Haunted Man
"Imagonnahurtyouwithmaheheleftrightpunchevenifitmeansseperatingyoufromthatpieceofringtazaa" Mr Killer muffled as he hopped between his left and right foot.
"I'm sorry sir but I do not understand what you are saying." Gohan replied in his deep Saiyaman accent. Mr Killer rushed forward to attack Gohan who instinctively punched out in reflex sending the wanabe 'champion' flying out of the ring and unconscious.
"Gee I hope I didn't hurt the guy." Gohan said sympathetically
"And there we have it, another quick battle won by our hero, especially Videl's if you know what I mean, The Great Saiyaman." The announcer yelled excitedly. Usually at this point Gohan would of done his trade mark Saiyaman poses but he was more worried about the demon Dabura and the exhausted Videl so he just smiled, waved and walked towards the sleeping girl and the rest of his friends.
"That Saiyaman thinks he is so tough well he." Sharpner decided to end his sentence there and he just whimpered like an injured puppy. Erasa decided to humorously pat Sharpner on the back as she kept her usual up beat smile, "I wonder where Gohan is today." She thought to herself.
Goku walked past Gohan as he headed for his match with Vegeta, "Well done son." He said, shallow as it sounded to defeat such an easy opponent.
"Good luck Dad!" Gohan said enthusiastically as he watched the father he adored and the man he once feared step into the ring.
"Now ladies and gentlemen we have a great match in store for you here, a previous world champion Son Goku goes against Vegeta, the man who destroyed our first punching machine, lets hope he won't do the same to this arena today." The commentator yelled semi-menacingly, "I mean it guys!" He spoke seriously outside the microphone so only the two fighters could hear. Both Saiyans looked at each other, both had large smirks on their faces, both had bulging muscles and both looked forward to the fight that was about to come, the one without the halo spike first, "Well Kakarot, I hope your ready, I've been training for this day for seven years! How much training can you do whilst your dead!" Vegeta said arrogantly.
"Well, I've been training with some very strong guys Vegeta and I've learnt some new tricks, so I'm ready!"
"FIGHT"
Vegeta immediately launched into an attack to try and surprise Goku, however he was well prepared for such a move and dodged Vegeta's launch with ease. Vegeta immediately fired a Ki blast at Goku before he had even touched the ground and the blast struck Goku side on, he hadn't expected Vegeta to get so serious so soon. "Whoa Vegeta, aren't you a bit anxious."
"you have no...idea!" He yelled before launching yet enough destructive blast, this time Goku parried it and sent it flying harmlessly in the air. "Galik...Gun...FIRE!"
Gohan noticed the intensity of the fight behind him but knew that neither of the two fighters would want to end the match that quickly so instead he knelt beside Videl. "Are you ok?" He whispered into her ear, tickling it slightly. Expecting her to say something like, "I'm fine GOHAN!" He naturally tensed himself for an answer that never came, instead he got a drowsy, "I'm ok....Thank you." She said before turning herself over, making it obvious she didn't want to talk anymore. "That sudden spike of her ki must of taken more out of her then i thought" Gohan told himself, though he was still a bit perplexed that she had jumped into his arms like that.
Vegeta launched a punch that Goku lazily pushed away, "Fight me Kakarot, Fight me!" Vegeta yelled in frustration.
"Ok." Goku replied punching Vegeta square in the gut he then kicked down upon Vegeta's exposed bag sending him crashing onto the arena floor, creating a small crater. A angry yellow blur rushed out to meet Goku and this sent the recently revived Saiyan spinning upwards out of control, "Vegeta!" He yelled up in surprise. The Saiyan prince ignored his cries and in his SS state sent a flurry of angry kicks and punches at his nemesis. Goku struggled to block the onrush of attack before he created an explosive wave of energy to knock Vegeta back, this gave Goku enough time to transform into his own Super Saiyan state, flying 100 feet in the air the two warriors locked in combat, neither having any advantage other the other, the crowd below looked on in amazement struggling to even see comprehend what was happening let alone catch what was going on, one particular subservient demon ,who began to sweat with fear, looked on with horror. Sudin would soon be fighting the world champion himself and if he was any where near as strong as these fighters he was in a lot of trouble.
"I think we need to take her to Dende." A worried Gohan spoke to Krillen, Videl had lost all of her colour and was as white as her usual T-shirt. Gohan placed his hands to her forehead, it was cold,
"You will never make it in time, it is such a long flight away from here!" Krillen yelled in panic, nothing had changed in those seven years there.
"My dad could do it!" He yelled proudly, "He can use instant transmission!"
"I think he is busy being beaten up by Vegeta." Krillen said morbidly, again no change in his personality there either.
"But we have to do something, she she she...."
"What have you done to my Daughter!" Mr Satan yelled out angrily, he had just left his dressing room after being told that his daughter had leapt into the arms of a boy!
"Nothing Sir honest." Gohan said in his deep Saiyaman accent.
"You can drop the tough guy act kid!" Hercule yelled not even listening to Gohan's worried response.
"Listen I think she..."
"No one talks to me like that boy, I am the great Mr Satan, the man who saved the world from Cell." This didn't have the impact that he was going for and instead all the fighters in the room, with the exception of Jewel [1] glared angrily at the 'hero'. Mr Satan recognising some of the faces, clutched his bandaged up jaw and pretended to limp off towards his trailer. "Damn punks he told himself, might spoil my secret." He went off ignoring his daughter entirely, after all he had an image to protect.
The two Saiyans were still gripped in dramatic combat, their punches and kicks crashing in to each other causing the stadium bellow to shake. "Why, Are, You, Toying with, Me, Kakarot!" Vegeta gasped between blows.
"I'm not." Goku responded unconvincingly, both fighters knew he was holding back.
"Final Flash!" Vegeta yelled, determination in his voice, the golden blast hit Goku square on and a blinding light enveloped the stadium. Vegeta began to laugh menacingly, "I did it, hahaha, I actually beat Kakarot, so what I lose through excessive force, I win!"
"No you don't!" Goku shouted mockingly grabbing Vegeta from behind. Goku then began to dive towards the ground, still clutching a silent Vegeta, silent until Vegeta suddenly began to power up.
"Curse you Kakarot, rahhhhhhhh." Vegeta screamed, the sudden rush of power broke Goku's grip and Vegeta regained his balance and landed on his feet on the stadium floor, bits of rock were sent upwards in the air because of the force and again a crater formed on the surface of the stone floor, though much smaller then the other crater, but what caught the other fighters more was Vegeta, his hair seemed that little bit taller and he had a blue aurora, he had made the transformation to Super Saiyan 2,
"Wow Vegeta, I am impressed, though you'll need more then that!" Goku too powered up and effortlessly also became SSJ2.
"What? How can you, but, but I worked so hard, the kid can do it now you but why!" Vegeta's anger overtook him and in a blind rage he rushed Goku, who calmly side stepped the angered prince and with one chop forced Vegeta into the dirt around the stadium, Goku had won, again. Before the announce even had time to declare Goku the winner the Prince had flew off into the air in a rage, he had lost, again.
"Well your dad won Gohan!" Krillen said to try and cheer him up, it did but not in the way he expected.
"Great, that means dad can take Videl to Kame's..I mean Dende's look out." A brightened up Gohan said.
"Wow he really is obsessed with her." Krillen said to himself, he then looked at his beautiful wife 18 and thought of his happy daughter up in the stands, "Well it's not always a bad thing." He blushed.
"Dad, Dad! I am really worried about Videl, her energy spiked and now she is completely out." Gohan said concerned, nodding towards Videl.
"You stay away from my daughter!" Hercule said angrily, a hint of concern in his voice.
"Haven't you got a match to fight." A relaxed Goku replied.
Hercule just grunted as he pranced towards the stadium, oblivious to the demon that awaits him.
"Yamcha, hold her whilst I go through my hand bag!" Bulma tossed the body of May towards the startled bandit who fumbled as he tried to catch her."
"Hey you, watch what your doing with my body!" The still enraged head of May, which was rested on a table, yelled out!
"Here it is!" Bulma yelled triumphantly pulling a soldering iron out of her bag.
"You carry a soldering kit in your handbag?" Yamcha asked shocked.
"Of course, a girl should never be without one." She spoke in a serious tone.
May was quickly put back together with the emergency repairs and though not a perfect joint, The android couldn't even move her head, it would have to do for the time being.
"Thank you mrs Bulma!" An enthusiastic May squealed in delight hugging her creator, all trace of previous anger gone, she didn't so much as look at poor Yamcha.
Two fighters stood in the ring, both nervously glanced at each other, one was worried about how strong this world champion is the other scared of the red demon, neither was quick to move as the start bell rang out, both just turned away from each other, neither though was prepared to fail.

End of Chapter 6
[1] Turns out it is Jewel and not Duel as I previously wrote, apologies for the mix up, I will not be changing my previous chapter after such a trivial mistake sorry.
[A/N]
I would of released this earlier but I was distracted by F1 and 1 vs 100 Uk Beta, sorry about that. Also no find out on the next chapter, I decided the ending was to 'tense'. (I hope I used the correct to/too) As for Videl being ill, well she has a very special 'power' may seem cheesy but it's a A/U but she is not used to it so she becomes drained. Hope you enjoy it. As for the strength of the villain? Don't worry I've got it covered ;)
