Part 29: Bojack Unbound
Two days have passed...
The Intergalactic Tournament was just beginning. The press were all over the sponsor of the tournament; a man with his wife and kids.
"Mr. Cash," one of the paparazzi asked, "Why have you sponsored this Tournament?"
"Well," he answered, "It's my son's birthday and we'd do anything for him. He asked to see a fight with the champion and aliens so we bought the best aliens money can buy."
It was suddenly quiet when everyone was staring at them in disbelief with their mouths wide open.
"Yeeeaaah!" could be heard behind them. Everyone turned around and stared at a helicopter where a man with black moustache was hanging from.
"Look, everyone, it's Hercule, the world champion!"
"That's right!" Hercule yelled. He grabbed a capsule from his pocket, pressed it and threw it down. A tall stack of tiles appeared out of a cloud of smoke. Hercule jumped off the helicopter and performed a karaate chop on the tiles. Every single one of them broke in half. "Ow ow ow," Hercule cried as he was blowing on his swollen hand.
Capsule Corporation...
"Let's get going!" Fasha said filled with excitement, "We're going to be late!"
"I'm coming," Tora said as he stepped outside. He was wearing his gray and blue armour and had his hair in a ponytail. Instead of his usual spandex underwear, he had long pants like Bardock.
"I'm ready, where's Kageto?"
"I'm over here," Kageto said as he stepped outside. He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of jeans.
"Aren't you going with your armour?" Fasha asked.
"Nah, I don't need that now. It's not like we're going to fight for real."
The group of three made their way to the registration boat. They registered their name and were handed a pass with a number indicating which gate they had to enter. They rean into Bardock, Trunks and Gohan at the entrances.
"Hey, Kageto!" Gohan yelled through the crowd of fighters.
"Gohan! Glad you made it, kid."
"Uncle! You're here!" Trunks yelled as well. He was standing next to Gohan. Bardock was standing behind them.
"Trunks! Glad to see you too. Let's make the best of it."
They all stood onto a different platform. The rules were explained. Everyone who falls into the water is eliminated. Per platform only one fighter has to remain. Kageto stared at the amount of fighters on his platform and his gaze landed on Tora. He was standing in the front and was paying attention to the announcer.
"Oh, this is going to be fun. I'll be the one advancing," Kageto thought.
"FIGHT!"
Everyone was in motion. They were all rivals to each other. Kageto rushed to the unsuspecting Tora and kicked him off the platform. Of course he managed to recover in mid-air and flew back up before he reached the water.
"I knew you were here," Tora said as he landed on the platform, "I was just faking it."
"Well, later when you fall into the water, you won't be able to fake your elimination."
"Haha, very funny. This match will decide which one of us will advance."
A random fighter punched Bardock in the face but he didn't budge. He merely swatted him away like a fly causing him to fall in the water.
"Let us begin," he said as his hands sparked blue. He was floating a few inches off the ground and was radiating fighter spirit (and swagger). Tora rushed in to attack but Bardock had another strategy. At the same speed Tora was approaching, he was backing up, that is, until they reached the edge. Bardock changed his strategy to full offense. His fists were surrounded by blue energy as he punched Tora. He was pushing him back making him believe he was still far from the edge. Slowly but surely, Tora was reaching the edge of the platform. Bardock finished his barrage with a kiai cannon causing him to be hurled over the edge.
"What the...? How did I get to the edge?" Tora asked as he recovered in mid-air. Bardock appeared above him and smashed him into the water.
"One point for me!" Bardock screamed. Tora came to the surface coughing and of course wet.
"No fair, you know," he screamed back, "I wasn't aware I was on the edge."
"I'm sorry, I can't undisqualify you!"
Bardock returned to the platform and one by one all of the fighters were flying off the edge.
"And Bardock proceeds to the next round!" the announcer said through the speaker, "And Trunks proceeds to the next round." Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo, Fasha and Kageto's names were all mentioned.
"Hey! That's not fair!" Krillin said, "They're all Super Saiyans! How will I ever stand a chance against them?"
"Next round is Krillin versus Piccolo!"
"Oh, man, why did I get into this. I'm going to lose for sure."
Piccolo was standing there letting the wind brush past his cape. He couldn't care less about the fight.
"Okay, I'm going to give it my all. I WILL win against Piccolo."
"FIGHT!"
Krillin and Piccolo were motionless as they were staring at each other.
"Ladies and gentlemen, looks like we have a stand-off. Who is going to attack first?"
"Alright, it's now or never. Piccolo, here I come!" Krillin yelled as he leapt forward to attack. Piccolo didn't move at all. Krillin didn't coordinate his move correctly and went through his cape.
"OLÉ" the crowd screamed. Krillin was balancing on the edge trying not to fall when Piccolo grabbed him by his collar and threw him on the stage.
"I thought this Tournament was going to be challenging. It's pitiful. I'm out of here."
Piccolo flew away into the horizon. "Contestant Piccolo has abandoned the match which means that Krillin is the winner by default!" The crowd was cheering and Krillin was crying tears of joy. "I can't believe I won against Piccolo!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, we're moving to the finals! There are four portals in total. There are eight contestants. Each portal leads to a different battlefield. Each battlefield has an Intergalactic Warrior. The first contestant who defeats both their partner and the Intergalactic Warrior AND reaches this stage before the others wins. 3, 2, 1, LAUNCH!" The first sets of pods containing Gohan, Trunks, Krillin and a fat sumo slammer were launched through their respective portals. The second time Kageto, Fasha, Bardock and Tora were launched through the shuttle again landing at their respective battlefield.
"Hmm, I wonder who my opponent could be," Kageto said as he stepped out of his pod. There was a green field with flowers ahead.
"What is this place?" Tora said as he stepped onto a volcanic rock.
"This place is like soooo childish," Fasha said as she was flying through countless giant toys.
"Hmph, a desert. What a surprise," Bardock said as his feet sank into the desert sand. He levitated and flew over the desert at a decent speed. A few yards away he saw the fat sumo wrestler being choked to death by a blue guy with a mohawk.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Bardock asked as he approached them, "You're killing him! Let him go!"
"Heh heh heh," he said as he dropped the lifeless body. A camera was broadcasting 'live' back at the main arena and the directors were all out of their minds.
"These are not the aliens we hired! What's going on? Did that man just get killed?"
On the three other cameras similar blue aliens were fighting the Z-fighters.
"We have to step in," Tien said to Yamcha.
"Right."
They each jumped into a shuttle and were transported into the arena.
At Capsule Corporation Vegeta was watching everything on the TV. "Hmph," was the only thing he said before shutting off the TV and grabbing Trunks' sword.
"Why did you kill that fat guy?" Bardock asked.
"What makes you think I'll tell you anything?" the mystery guy said as he burst away. Bardock was following him close behind. Suddenly he disappeared.
"What the...?" was all Bardock could muster before he was hit in the back of his neck by an elbow.
"Heh heh heh, not so smart now, are you?" he said. "Master Bojack would be glad to see your ugly face." He grabbed Bardock by the collar and carried him away.
Volcano
"Hey, pretty girl, what are YOU doing here?" Krillin asked a blue girl with long orange hair. She ignored him and was staring into nothingness. "Aw come on, I won't bite. You're my opponent, huh?" She didn't even budge. Moments later her hair was standing straight up and she was beating the hell out of Krillin and ultimately leaving him unconscious...
"Hey!" a voice out of nowhere came, "That's kind of considered child abuse."
"And who might you be?" the woman asked.
"I'm Tora, Super Saiyan extraordinaire. You can't win against me. I'll make you pay for Krillin."
"Saiyan, you said? Master Bojack would like to have a word with you."
"Bojack? What kind of stupid name is that?"
"Don't disrespect master Bojack. He's the owner of this planet and the strongest in the universe."
"Really? Then I would like to have a little talk with him. This planet has no owner. Hyaaah!" Tora charged forward punching the blue woman into a rock wall. It collapsed on her burying her under the rubble.
"Hmph, too easy," were Tora's last words before an elbow descended on the back of his neck instantly knocking him unconscious.
Meanwhile at the toy space...
"Whee!" Gohan was jumping around playing with toys. He was having a grand time until the arms of a clock attacked him.
"Who are you?" he asked a scrawny blue guy.
"Heh heh heh," a high pitched laugh could be heard from the kid. Slowly the toys started to disappear and a desolate place came into view. It was all an illusion. Fasha saw it too from afar. "Finally, some color," she said.
"Psycho Thread!" the kid said as small little threads erupted from his fingers inmobilizing Gohan.
"Ugh," Gohan said as he was straining to get out of the threads.
"Heh heh heh, the more you struggle, the tighter it gets. The name's Bujin and don't you forget it."
"I sense Gohan's in trouble," Fasha said, "I got to get over there fast."
Bujin kicked him right through a wall. Gohan landed in a city. He went through the wall to another part of the complex. Fasha burst through the same wall and kicked Bujin in the face. This caused Gohan to be freed from his restraints.
"Who the hell are you?" Bujin asked.
"Who I am does not matter. You're going to pay for hurting Bardock's grandson."
"Not for fast!" he said as he flew away as fast as he could. Fasha and Gohan went in pursuit.
"Thanks for saving me, Fasha," Gohan said.
"You're welcome, kid. I was just hanging around."
Meanwhile on the flower field...
"Who are you?" Trunks asked the blue shirtless guy.
"My name is Kogu. Now that you know that, you may die." Kogu pulled out his sword from his waist and leapt forward. Trunks fended his attacks off without any difficulty. They ran into the water parallel to each other. Kogu charged up his energy and turned green. His muscles increased dramatically and he delivered Trunks a bone-shattering punch to the head causing him to be knocked out. Kageto arrived shortly after to the scene.
"Well, aniother weakling joined the party," Kogu said.
"Who might you be?" Kageto asked confident. His power was rising slowly.
"My name is Kogu. I'm not going to repeat it so don't forget it. Are you ready to die?"
"I'm ready to stop whatever you're doing, yes."
"I don't think so. Master Bojack gave me specific instructions. If you want to fight me, you'll have to catch me."
Kogu flew away to an abandoned city with Kageto following close behind. They arrived at a castle-like place where the rest were waiting. There was a dark doorway where the rest of the fighters were waiting around. Kageto, Fasha, Gohan, Tien and Yamcha were waiting.
"What's going to happen now?" Fasha asked.
"Behold, Master Bojack!" the blue mohawk guy said.
Slowly but surely, a large figure appeared through the doorway. He seemed to be holding something... or someone. A larger blue humanoid with orange hair and a bandana apppeared. He had countless necklaces around his neck and he was wearing white pants. He was holding up Bardock by his collar.
"Hey, let Bardock go!" Fasha screamed.
"Who? This guy?" a gruff voice said.
"Let him go, otherwise I'll have to kill all of you," Kageto threatened.
"Oh really? Do you really think you can stand up to me? I am Bojack, rightful ruler of this universe. I can take whatever I want and I kill as a I please."
"Oh yeah? Why don't you try and kill me?" Kageto dared the pirate.
"Very well, you asked for your downfall, you're going to get it. Zangya, Bido, Kogu, Bujin, Attack!"
The blue girl named Zangya immediately went for Fasha. She backhanded her and released small green energy balls. Fasha stood strong and blocked them all.
"Was that all you've got, you blue whore?"
"Grr, I'll kill you, stupid woman, you don't stand a chance against me," she answered.
"Grrrraaaaah!" Kageto screamed as he charged forward. Bojack moved aside and a fight ensued. Bardock was still unconscious on the top of the stairs. Yamcha and Tien both charged towards Bujin. They were paralyzed by his psychic abilities which allowed Kogu to dispose of them easily.
"I suggest you leave this planet NOW!" Kageto screamed. He delivered a right hook causing Bojack to recoil.
"You really think you stand a chance against me? I am supreme!"
"No, I am Supreme. You're just another villain trying to take over the planet. I'm not going to allow that."
Trunks arrived at the battlefield just in time to save Yamcha and Tien from being vaporized by Kogu.
"We have unfinished business, you blue freak," Trunks said.
"How dare you call me a freak? You're the weak one around here. I should have killed you when I had the chance. Let's dance."
Kogu and Trunks made their way towards the city battle stage. Meanwhile... Zangya seemed to have the upper hand.
"Take this! Shoot Blaster!" Zangya released an orange sphere of energy from her vantage point above. Fasha braced herself for impact when a white energy blast hit the Shoot Blaster from the side rendering it useless.
"Shoot Blaster? What kind of stupid name for an attack is that?" Tora asked.
"Tora!" Fasha exclaimed, "Took you long enough!" she said with a hint of anger in her voice. "This bitch is really getting on my nerves!"
"Why don't you just transform?" he asked.
"She hasn't transformed yet. I don't wanna seem like the weakling around here."
"And... Punch!" Krillin said as he punched Bujin in the face. He was really having fun with someone at his level until... Bido came storming towards Krillin to protect his team-mate. Krillin was swept aside by his backhand and was on the verge of being killed. Kageto was watching his surroundings and saw this happening. He quickly delivered a combo to Bojack's gut and fired a beam of energy out of his index finger. Bido was hit in the shoulder and was bleeding. He turned around furiously to see who was responsible for that beam. Bojack recovered and pinned Kageto's arms behind his back giving Bido an opportunity to endlessly beat up Kageto.
"You annoying prick! I'll beat you to death for injuring my shoulder!"
Kageto was helpless. He couldn't think of any way to get out of this situation. Unless...
"Hyaah! Graaah!" Kogu yelled as he barely hit Trunks with his sword. Trunks transformed into a Super Saiyan and was fighting at the same level with the transformed Hera-jin.
"Stand still, you coward!" Kogu said furious as he was trying to cut Trunks in half. Trunks caught the sword with his bare hand breaking it off. He then pierced his entire arm through Kogu's torso. He slowly retracted his arm causing the lifeless body of the Hera-jin to fall on the ground.
"Hmph," he said, "He really thought he could defeat me with that sword."
"Yaaaah! Leave Kageto alone!" Gohan said as he powered up. He kicked Bido aside and delivered a left-right combo. Kageto took this opportunity to push Bojack through the wall behind him. He then flipped his body and ground his back into the ground. Bojack had no choice but to let go.
"Fasha! Opponent Swap!" Kageto yelled as he kicked Zangya in the face. Fasha transformed into a Super Saiyan and released her most deadly technique.
"Pink Atomic Eraser!" she yelled as she unleashed a deadly pink blast that was making his way to the downed space pirate.
Gohan unleashed his fury and was dealing heavy damage onto the blue mohawk enemy in front of him. Bido saw Fasha's attack make its way towards his Master. He must not allow this to happen.
"Graaaah!" he yelled as he transformed into his power state. He slapped Gohan aside and rushed down as fast as he could.
"Grand Smasher!" could be heard below him as his master unleashed a large green vortex of energy. It was pushing against Fasha's energy blast.
"Master, are you alright?" Bido asked.
"I'm fine! You take care of that blond brat and kill the rest!"
"Yes, Ma..."
His sentence was interrupted by a full powered kick from above by none other than Trunks.
"You again?! What did you do to Kogu?"
"He is unfortunately not available right now. You can try the Other World and see if you can find him there."
"You killed Kogu?! I'll rip you to pieces for that!"
Bido was stronger than Kogu. He rushed towards the Super Saiyan from the future and landed a powerful angry punch to his ribcage cracking some in the process. Bojack was succeding in pushing Fasha's blast away. She had to abandon her spot and moved aside for the massive green energy blast to pass her.
"No one messes with me. I am Bojack, rightful ruler of the universe!"
"Not under my watch!" Fasha screamed as she stormed down.
Bojack grinned and at the last second he rolled aside causing Fasha to crash down with full force. Bojack stood up and was holding a green energy ball in his hand.
"Nice meeting a fiesty woman like you. One of them is enough, though. Goodbye."
Bojack was kicked aside by an unknown figure. Trunks caught his sword and sliced in mid-air in front of him forcing Bido to back off.
"Who the hell keeps disturbing me when I kill?!" Bojack asked.
"No one around here gets killed by anyone but me," the mysterious figure answered. He had black flame hair and a Saiyan Armor.
"DAD!" Trunks screamed as he saw his father challanging Bojack. He descended next to him. Bido descended next to his master on the other side of the crater in which Fasha was lying.
"Leave this to me, Trunks. This is MY fight."
"It's two against one, father. You'll don't stand a chance against them."
Kageto kicked Zangya to the ground and transformed. "You are really starting to piss me off, you..."
"Think long and hard before you pronounce your next words because those will be your last." Zangya's hair turned deep red and her skin turned green. Her power increased drastically.
"Well then, seems like the fiesty cat still has some fight left in her. Glad you could join us, Vegeta."
Vegeta looked up and saw his uncle fighting a woman. "Hmph, pitiful. Fighting a woman in a fight like this."
Fasha recovered and jumped into the air. After a couple of backflips she landed next to Vegeta.
"Hee hee hee hee hee," Bujin laughed in a high pitched voice. Tora was paralyzed by his Psycho Thread. His power was draining the more he moved. "What are you going to do now? You think you are a match for me? My psychic powers are superior!"
Gohan was looking down and isolating himself from the world around him. "All of this hurt... All of this pain... Why does this always have to happen? Why can't we live in peace?!"
Zangya felt Gohan's energy rising. He was becoming more of a threat. She slipped past an unsuspecting Kageto.
"Boy, you'd better stand down if you want to live!" she exclaimed. "Psycho Thread!"
"Oh no, you don't!" Fasha screamed as she jumped in front of Gohan. An elbow to the face halted the oncoming female Hera-jin.
"Bido, go get her," Bojack commanded.
"You're staying right here!" Trunks demanded, "I'm going to fight you."
"You can't boss me around, boy. Grave Slash!"
Bido slashed the air with his fingers and red slashed made their way towards Fasha.
At the last moment Fasha turned around and she disappeared. It was an Afterimage. She grabbed Zangya from the back in a death hold and used her as a shield.
"I dare you to kill me now!" she screamed towards the blue duo. A nod from Bojack was all it took. "Grand Smasher!" Bido screamed as he unleashed a large green vortex of energy straight towards Zangya.
"Bido, what are you doing? Get that thing away from me NOW!"
Both Bojack and Bido were laughing at the unsuspecting Zangya. She was being sacrificed but wasn't aware about it. At the last moment Fasha grabbed Zangya and pulled her out of the way.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Fasha asked Zangya, "They were going to kill you!"
"T-they weren't planning to kill me. They were planning to kill you."
"Heh heh heh, kill her, Zangya," Bojack commanded.
"Don't listen to him! You're an expendable unit and you know it. You can easily be replaced in his eyes."
"M-master Bojack would never do that."
"Kill her, Zangya... NOW! Or... I'll kill YOU!"
"What have I told you?" Fasha asked.
Zangya was literally shaking in her boots. What will she do? Will she kill the one who saved her life or will she obey her master's orders?
To be continued...
