Chapter 7 Nobody Story.

Sudin began to turn as white as his opponent, the thought of taking on an obviously strong opponent of this one terrified him, Hercule meanwhile was turning as red as his opponent, he was scared but what overtook him was embarrassment, the crowd, his crowd, worshipped him, he couldn't let them down he couldn't let them no his secret, his lie. Mr Satan took a confident step forward as he tried to build up his hero persona. Sudin instinctively took a step back, the crowd on his side Hercule rushed at his foe, Sudin kept backing until he was at the edge of the arena this is it he told himself, convinced that Hercule must be strong. Sudin closed his eyes and pulled his hands over his face. Sudin then felt a tickling sensation over his arm and heard screams of shock from the crowd. He opened his eyes and saw a still suspended in mid air Hercule with his foot embedded in his arm.

"Fool, that didn't hurt at all and to think I was worried." Sudin yelled triumphantly. "Now prepare to fall ahhh!" Sudin wobbled as he realized how close to the edge he actually was and try as he might the demon could not hold his balance, he promptly fell on to the grass below with a loud thud.

"And Hercule wins by ring out, how did yah do it champ!" Said the announcer, microphone in hand.

"Well I simply tricked him by pretending to hit him with a left kick and ummm then I quickly knocked him down with a right punch, it was so quick you didn't see it, yeah thats it....YEAH." Hercule paused before giving his famous victory display, still unsure how exactly he had done it.

Dabura had his head in his hands, "How can that servant of his spread fear if he gets defeated by fools such as that," he thought, a smirk appeared on the demons face, he knew exactly how.

Sudin was embarrassed and began to turn an even darker shade of red and became so nervous he began to talk to himself, "Oh dear, now I have to explain myself to lord Dabura and that is even worse then going up against that Goku or that ermm..."

"Prince Vegeta." Quietly but with a sinister tone, the Saiyan Prince had returned and was behind the demon.

Before Sudin could protest or more likely run away Vegeta, clamping one hand over Sudin's mouth and the other round his waist, took off once more carrying the demon away with him, keen to interrogate this strange foe. This move came much to the surprise of the Crowd, Dabura and particularly the Z-warriors, they had not expected to see Vegeta again for months!

Instinctively Piccolo decided to follow the saiyan prince not because he wanted to save the demon servant but he too was keen on finding out exactly who these demons are besides the Namekian was already defeated and he didn't feel comfortable standing around the crowds of people anyway so he wanted any excuse to leave. Bulma sat in the stand next to a what appeared to be a paralyzed teenager, "May I want you to follow my husband, make sure he doesn't get in trouble." Quietly the Robot got out of her seat and flew after them. Unknown to them Dabura had quietly followed the ruckus, "This is all playing into my hands." He told himself slyly.

"I'll be right back son!" Goku put two fingers to his forehead and disappeared. Goku was glad that he was useful even if it was simply to go to Korin's tower for a sensu bean for Gohan's girlfriend [1]. Gohan sighed, the crowd where cheering again, that meant Mr Satan would be returning to bother him again, Hercule went through the doorway towards them but without so much of a word passed the two teenagers and went into the room, seconds later swearing could be heard from that direction, Gohan heard something about a demon and a head made out of steel or something along those lines and took it to mean that Mr Satan wouldn't be bothering him. He glanced once more at the sleeping Videl and how pale and defenseless she looked, a complete opposite to her normal fiery hot headed self. He sighed and gently brushed his hand across her forehead, He hoped his dad would come back soon.

"Now we are bringing on our next two opponents, little is known about either of them except that the girl is calling herself 18 and that guy is calling himself Rome, I would say they look like siblings folks!" The announcer cried out happily, both androids twitched slightly and both yelled out snappily "He/She is not my Brother/Sister."

They then stared at each other, 18, married with a kid but an experienced fighter, Rome fresh and raring to go but inexperienced in battle. One built by Gero for Evil one built by the Briefs for Good.

"Face it 18 I am much better then you, you are old and outdated." Rome said with his trademark smirk.

"Ha, what does Bulma know about fighting?" 18 replied.

"We shall see."

"Fight!" Yelled the announcer.

Both androids rocketed towards each other and both opened up with a shoulder charge which made the ground shake on impact. Then they both threw punches with their right fists and then caught each others punches with their left hands. "I see Bulma kept Gero's fight program."

"She did."

"Then you won't anticipate this." 18 then locked both of her legs out and connected it with Rome's Stomach (picture Vegeta and android 19 but with the stomach) though in pain Rome would not let go of 18's fist as it would mean she could strike him, instead he generated his android barrier which repelled both of the androids apart. "That move almost hurt me." Rome commented on 18's battle tactics. He then casually launched a Ki blast at 18, who instinctively dodged it, the blast crashed into a wall blasting a hole through it. "Are you trying to kill somebody?" 18 asked sarcastically. She didn't expect the answer that followed.

"What if I am?" Rome replied lazily.

"Don't Kid me."

Rome pointed a finger at the audience and to everyones shock fired, 18 rushed forward and parried it away from the scared crowd, though they sat back afterwards thinking it all to be a light show.

"What is he doing!" Bulma shrieked helplessly worried that she had created a monster.

"I knew you would do that." Rome smirked once more shrugging at 18. "Here catch."

Rome fired once more at the crowd, 18 rushed once more to parry the shot. She was annoyed at Roma and annoyed that she HAS to save the day because after all her daughter is watching. As she deflected the shot Rome fazed behind her and cooped her at the back of the neck sending her flying towards the arena floor creating a small crater.

"I knew you block that one too." Rome said tauntingly as he landed right by the crater, his voice sounding even more sinister, he casually brushed his lavender hair behind his ears, he needed to look the part on stage too.

"Monster!" yelled 18 as she rushed from her crater and tackled Rome sending both of them to the floor. Rome pushed her of him, "My my aren't you restless." He said mockingly, both rushed each other with shoulder charges and after each attack relentlessly charged once more, the Earth itself shook violently as cracked appeared on the floor, then both androids took to the skys to pummel each other, each testing the others limits, this time as 18 rushed still blinded by anger Rome dodged left and grabbed her, "Sorry." He whispered into her ear as he plunged downwards and craashed straight into the ground beside the ring causing Earth to fly up, 18 was angled so she hit the ground first and took the brunt of the attack. Rome had won.

Krillen rushed forward towards his wife, 18 swatted him away, her way of saying she was ok.

Krillen turned to Rome, "How could you, you..."

"Shut up baldly." Rome dismissed Krillen and casually walked back to the waiting area and took a seat, by his calculations he would be fighting Mighty Mask next, he seemed abnormally strong. Gohan approached the android but before he could ask why he threatened the crowd he simply replied, "That android bought it." and closed his eyes as if to go to sleep. Gohan accepted the answer and dumbly backed off back to his spot beside Videl, he felt he needed to be there. If anyone in the room had been paying attention to where Mighty mask had stood they would of noticed alot of wriggling and squirming and ,by the sounds of things, him having an argument with his lower torso. Goten and Trunks who had hidden inside what appeared to be the cheap Halloween costume that was "Mighty Mask." were fighting over who should be on top and inevitably Trunks won. The two expertly wobbled onto the stage ready to fight their opponent Jewel. The pretty-boy who had many fans in the crowd despite his small....score on the punch machine. [2] One sweep of the leg from Goten and a punch from Trunks knocked the poor man flying out of the arena and into the dirt. "Mighty Mask wins!"

"That concludes the first round of the tournament, the Quarter Finals will take place after an hours lunch break, make sure you are all back for the next match where Krillen will fight Dabura.

Vegeta still had Sudin captive and was heading for the mountains, he knew he was being followed but he was glad of it because he wanted to fight anyway, he had no idea what he was in for.

End of Chapter 7

[1] In Goku's mind

[2] I apologize for the poor cock joke

[A/N] Sorry for the wait I have not been very well as of late and really lacked the concentration to write more (I tried to write this chapter sooner I really did but I just could not get very far) I also apologize about the fact that I will soon be going on holiday so I will not be able to upload a story for two weeks. But don't worry, I still have lots in store for this story and any ideas you have would go down well, not that they will be automatically implemented but I do enjoy reading them myself and maybe secretly taking (Stealing) an aspect, I will give credit by personal message :)
