Semi-Final Fights Part 2

Backstage..

"That was a great match,guys." An amazed Bulma commended Both Son Wives.

"Thanks,Bulma." Chichi told Bulma.

"Our match is next and It should be a quickie,since I obviously hold a great advantage over you." 18 told Bulma cooly.

"You can think that all you want,Lazuli. I have something that will even the odds" Bulma told the bionic blond,confidently.

"Sure you do" 18 mocked.

Back at Ringside..

"And Now it's time for Semi-Final Match Number 2." The Announcer enthusiastically told everyone. "Here's Android 18!"

Android 18 comes out from the back and enters the ring to cheers.

"And Her Opponent,Bulma Brief"

Bulma comes out to cheers and enters the ring. Bulma is wearing some bracers on her forearms.

"Still think you can win?.You don't have a prayer." 18 taunted.

"We'll see" Bulma told her.

"Begin!"

18 rushes toward Bulma,but the blue haired scientist quickly moves out of the way and strikes 18 from behind. 18 turns around and starts her punch/kick combo attack,Bulma blocks every attack the blonde makes,then ollows up with a punch/kick combo of her own. Bulma delivers a thust kick,which sends 18 flying back a bit. Bulma rushes toward 18 and delivers a fury of kicks,which 18 blocks with both arms.

"Why is she this strong?" 18 asked herself in thought as she continued to block Bulma's attacks.

In the Stands...

"How Is Bulma Doing This?!"Krilin asked shocked."She's Going Toe To Toe With 18!"

"Simple,those Z-Bracers she's wearing on her forearms increases her strength and speed. It's her own invention. She thought they would come in handy incase she had to fight strong foes." Gohan explained. "You tought her how to fly,right Vegeta?" He asked the Saiyan Prince.

"Of course" Vegeta said plainly.

Back In The Ring...

Both 18 and Bulma are attacking each other with a flurry of furious punches and kicks. They break. 18 goes for a roundhouse kick,Bulma ducks it and delivers a punch to tbe gut,which sends the blonde back a bit. 18 goes for a dive kick,but Bulma easily dodges.

"Tell me something? Why,all of a sudden,are you as strong as me?" 18 asked Bulma bluntly.

"I'll tell you After this fight" Bulma told her.

18 chuckles and goes for another kick. Bulma dodges and the 2 go back to the 'punch/kick flurry' thing. Bulma hits 18 with an uppercut,which sends her flying upward a bit.

Bulma quickly grabs 18's left ankle and pulls off her shoe and sock with great speed,exposing her bare foot. 18 spins out of Bulma's grip. Lazuli's bare foot was very beautiful,shapely toes too (with purple colored tonails). Bulma tosses 18's shoe and sock aside.

"Nothing but luck!" 18 told Bulma annoyed.

"Hey,don't be too miffed. You have very pretty feet" Bulma complemented.

18 blushed.

Bulma gets into a fighting stance. 18 does the same.

"Can you fly?" 18 asked.

"Yeah. Vegeta tought me how. It took a while to master,but I eventually did it." Bulma replied.

18 smiles and takes to the skies,Bulma follows. The 2 resume battle. 18 delivers a kick with her bare foot,but Bulma grabs the ankle and starts tickling her sole with her fingers.

"Ahahahahaha! D-Damn It! Ahahahaha! C-Cut It Out! Ahahahaha" 18 laughed hysterically.

"Ticklish aren't we,Lazuli? Hahaha! Bulma playfully teased.

18 spins out of Bulma's grip and delivers a kick to her chest,which knocks back the blue-haired genious. 18 fires a blast at Bulma,but she dodges. Bulma powers up her gauntlets and fires a plasma blast. 18 barely dodges.

"I really must know how she's doing this" 18 thought. She than has an epiphany "Those things on her arms,they must,somehow,be giving her enhenced abilities. No matter,she'll go down just the same"

18 rushes towards Bulma. Bulma dodges and quickly shoots a weak plasma shot at 18's shoed foot while doing it. 18's shoe was damaged,so damaged that it fell apart. Her sock was still intact,though.

"Ah! Damn It!" 18 cursed. "Ok,two can play that game" She told Bulma,annoyed.

18 fires a bunch of energy blasts at Bulma. Bulma dodges them while charging up her bracers. 18 fires another volley of blasts,Bulma blocks them this time with her bracers. The energy blasts strike the flashing bracers and are reflected right back at 18.

18 dodges most,but one hits her on her socked foot,burning it. 18 angrily removes the damaged sock,cursing as she does so.

Both descend to the ground.

"Ladies And Gentlemen! Here Is Your Winner,Bulma Brief!" The Announcer told everyone.

"I gotta admit,your not as lame as I thought you were. I should be pissed at this loss,but hey,they'll be other competitions. And besides that,this tournament wasn't giving out Prize Money." 18 said cooling off. "Good luck in the finals"

"Thanks,18" Bulma told her as the 2 shook hands. The 2 leave tbe ring.

In the stands..

"Aw,no fair. Bulma cheated!" Krillin lamented.

"Proof positive that brains are best for some battles,as my Bulma has just proven." Vegeta told them with pride.

"Yeah,you trained her well,Vegeta" Goku told him.

Vegeta chuckled cockily.

Back at Ringside...

"And that,friends,was the Semi-Finals. But don't go away,because in 10 minutes,the Final Match,between Chi-Chi Son and Bulma Brief,will commence!"

To Be Continued.
