Chapter 18 - The Victor

ROOOOAAAAAARRRRRR!

Leanne sighed; she leaned back on Micheal's chest as they sat silently on the hospital's rooftop. The two watched the transformed saiyan from afar.

The brunette covered her eyes and sighed again. She may have watched the scene in her computer and TV, but facing it in real life is too stressful. Micheal rubbed Leanne's head gently, calming her down and easing her fast-paced heartbeat.

"It won't be long for Master to destroy the moon," Micheal mumbled while he stared at the rampaging Oozaru.

Leanne nodded thoughtfully, "Yeah, but there's something that doesn't make sense." she said with a frown.

Her uncle blinked and stared down, "And what is that, Leanne?" he asked.

"Well, from what I learned. If earth does not have a moon anymore, the twenty-four hours will be shortening to... I think six or twelve hours, if I'm correct?" Leanne tilted her head with arms crossed. "Then, the tides will be less strong too as the nights will be more darker. The earth will tilt or hardly tilt at all which leads to extreme seasons or no seasons to the planet itself." her eyebrows furrowed.

"It seems like you re doing your studies," Micheal smiled proudly. "Yes, you're correct that would happen if earth doesn't have a moon."

"Then why did this earth still have their normal seasons (despite the absence of the moon) and still have their twenty-four hour days? Man, it doesn't make any sense!" Leanne said and rubbed her scalp at the prospect.

Micheal chuckled, "Because this earth is different to our earth, Leanne. This earth can still manage without the moon while ours does not. I figured it out years ago with Emily. Ah, good times." he answered with a smile.

"Well, dang man." the young girl stared with wide eyes.

Micheal laughed and ruffled her head, "You're so cute when you're like that."

"What do you mean 'cute'? I ain't cute, I'm abnormal!"

"Abnormally cute,"

"Raaaggghhh, Tito Eston!" Leanne tried to slap Micheal's face, but the adult laughed and grabbed her hands.

While Micheal continued teasing his niece, a loud blast made them stop and stare at the yellow-orange sky that once had the moon.

The two frowned and stood up slowly.

"It's seems like we have to go back," Micheal muttered.

The young girl nodded and her uncle held out his hand to her, Leanne took it and the two disappeared in a mist.

The two arrived at the back of the crowd and Leanne staggered while her arms gripped on her uncle. Spell transportation is something she has to get used to these days.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jackie Chun has done a reprehensible thing!"

Leanne's headache faded and she raised a brow, watching Daniel alongside with her uncle.

"What's going to light up the sky for us at night? What about romantic moonlight walks?" Daniel screamed, pointing at the moon clear sky.

The brunette tilted her head with a sweatdrop forming, "Ara, ara, Daniel-kun. No need to be so mad about that. He basically saved our lives, ne?" she said with her arms crossed.

"I still don't get it why you like that guy, Leanne." Micheal sweatdropped.

She shrugged and smirked, "What, he's cute, dreamy, and entertaining."

"Never say that again, Lea. Never say something so disturbing as that again,"

"No promises,"

"Walang hiyang bata," Michael shook his head and crossed his arms.

Leanne laughed while Jackie screamed for Daniel to start counting. However, the naked, young saiyan woke up at the first two counts.

Goku groggily stared at his attire and stood, "Hey, I thought for sure I was wearing clothes." he said in confusion.

Jackie scowled and faced the announcer, "Darn you! If you had just started counting when you were supposed to I would've won." he yelled with fists clenched at his sides.

The announcer stared flabbergasted while Leanne laughed louder at the scene. Not only does it look hilarious to her, but her little saiyan stood there adorably. Micheal shook his head and sigh a chuckle while Goku stared at himself, confused again.

"That's funny..." he mumbled.

The crowd cheered wildly while Bulma and Yamcha smiled in relief. Daniel declared the match to continue.

"Wait, is he really going to let Goku fight naked?" Micheal stared at the two fighters.

Leanne snickered and held her hips, "Maybe." she sanged.

"Leanne, please be serious."

She cackled. "Of course not, Uncle Eston. Daniel-kun will stop the match in five... four... three... two...

"Okay, on second thought. Stop fighting," Daniel waved his hand at the monks, dismissing the giggling girls nearby. "Goku, you want me to get fired?" he said.

Micheal sighed and Leanne giggled behind her hand.


After the scenario, the crowd cheered once Goku came to the ring, fully-clothed. The saiyan smiled at his older opponent and got into a stance.

"I'm gonna wrap this up, Mr. Jackie." he said.

In a second, Goku's stomach grumbled loudly. The saiyan held his stomach with a weary face. When was the last time he last ate?

"Hungry," he mumbled.

"Unguarded," Jackie screamed and positioned his attack. "Kamehameha!"

Goku's eyes widened but Leanne and Micheal smirked when Jackie's voice trailed off while his attack weakened, summoning a small poof of cloud out of his hands instead of energy.

"Eh?" Jackie stared at his hands and at Goku.

"Ooh, what a drag for Jackie Chun. His energy attack is fizzled out like a flat can of soda pop,"

Jackie thrust out his hands with a desperate look, "Don't quit on me now."

"I guess he doesn't have any energy left," Goku said before a smile form, "and that means he can't fly anymore either. Haha, and that makes it easy."

The young saiyan got into a stance, "Kamehame..."

"No, wait a second!"

Goku yelled the last words of his attack, shooting a beam of energy at Jackie. The old man yelped and jumped to dodge the attack; Goku stared at Jackie in the air and clenched his fist.

"Here goes," he said and jumped in the air, kicking Jackie which sent the poor old man flying.

Leanne (who suddenly has a camcorder in her grasps) recorded Jackie moving and waving his arms frantically as everyone watched Jackie fall and a loud thump sounded in the air. The crowd leaned and watched in silence before bursting into cheers.

"Jackie Chun has landed outside of the ring. That makes Goku the new Martial Arts' Champion of the World!" Daniel yelled in his microphone.

Leanne shook her head and sighed, "Wrong."

Micheal frowned, "Indeed." he said.

"Excuse me!"

Everyone's attention went to Jackie and Goku stared in confusion.

"This fight isn't over just yet. Look at my feet, carefully," the martial artist instructed.

Everyone did what they were told and Leanne sighed in disappointment. It's so sad that most of them assumed too quickly instead of just thinking it over or checking closely. How ignorant can these people be?

Daniel approached Jackie and saw his foot, buried at the side of the ring.

"My feet haven't touched outside the ring," Jackie gritted his words out while his body twitched with sweat sliding down on his face.

The announcer fixed his sunglasses and looked with disbelief, "Wow. Well, I'll be." he muttered and turned to the crowd. "The fighting continues!"

Everyone cheered while Bulma, Yamcha, Oolong, and Puar stared in shock. Goku blinked at Jackie who started to climb on the ring slowly.

"You sure are a lucky fellow," he said.

Jackie scowled while he climbed to the ring, "I was in control—" his foot slipped, the martial artist quickly held onto the side of the ring in panic. He finally got a good hold of it and finished his last sentence, "time!"

Jackie lifted himself to the ring and stood up, staring at Goku. "Your Kamehameha wave is too weak to do damage now."

The young saiyan tilted his head, "It is?"

"I'm afraid that your fatigue and hunger had drained your energy passed the breaking point-same with me. We both done every fancy tricks our body can handle. It looks like we have to rely on good ol' karate chops and flying kicks to finish this. The strongest man stays standing; it's as simple as that." Jackie said with a frown.

"Sounds like fun to me," Goku stated to his master-in-disguise.

"Come on, Goku. Give everything you've got, let's make this finale worthwhile. No tricks, no fancy shows."

Jackie s eyes glow a bit and Goku got into a stance, "Right! No energy attacks."

"Just fist to fist martial arts..."

Everyone stares in shock while Leanne and Daniel silently watched the interaction.

It didn't take long for the two fighters to attack.

Hours go by that the crowd didn t how long the two are fighting. Luckily, Daniel informed the crowd the Jackie and Goku fought about four hours while Leanne sighed, sitting on the ground with a bored look.

No offense, but the most annoying part in Dragon Ball is that the fight lasted too long that it can get too boring. It irritate her to no end to why can t they get to the point already.

Micheal continued watching the fight while his niece leaned back on his leg; he subconsciously ruffled Leanne s hair softly while he sipped his can of Sprite.

Leanne sighed again and fiddled with her smartphone, her ears perked up when Jackie talked to Goku.

"Hey, what about one final charge, Goku?" Jackie smirked with a small glint in his eye.

"Fine!" Goku (unaware of the old man's plans) accepted.

Leanne stood up to see the charging each other with their battle cries before jumping off in the air.

"This could be it," Daniel exclaimed to his mic.

Leanne winced when the two hit each other's jaws which cause the two flying back to the ground with a hard thud.

Daniel started informing the crowd about the double knockout before doing the countdown. Leanne's heart pounded in her ears when everyone started to cheer the fighters to stand up.

It hurts watching it in person, Leanne can clearly see the struggled, pained looks on Master Roshi and Goku's faces.

She knows who's going to win, the kick they both shared prove that. Leanne doesn't even need to watch the episode again because all of it came down to common sense and simple science.

"Don't stand up," she pleaded mentally but mostly to the other fighter. "For the love of mercy just stop trying."

But he didn't stop, he stood up with wobbly knees before doing a stance showing his determination and strength. Most of the crowd watch in awe and excitement as he smiled and started to say the phrase.

"I-I, I... am... the... cham... pi..."

He stopped, giving one last smile to the crowd.

He fell.

Leanne looked down with a frown and wiped a tear in her eye.

Goku lost.

And Jackie became the victor of the fight.


AUTHOR'S NOTE
