[TRIUMPH MUSIC]

Chapter 13

"Next up is our last match for the quarter-finals!" the announcer called out, "Will Hero and Yamcha please come out?"

I didn't bother watching this match. It was just a fight between to humans anyway. Besides, I'm too busy trying to reach to The Voice.

Please Voice! I know you can hear me! I just want to ask about the other voice from earlier. I just wanted to ask you if you have any clue who that other voice was. I don't wanna get in trouble with my brother again, so please help me!

Sadly, I got no response from the Voice. I groan quietly to avoid any attention from Big Brother. I don't want him scolding me again.

"Kurai. Come with me." Big Brother commanded.

I look at him with a confused look. "Uh okay…"

What did I do now?

We leave the rooftops and head to one of the empty temple buildings. Once inside, I take my hood off, seeing no point in hiding my face from my brother. As I look up, I see my brother glaring at me sternly.

"When I came here today," he began, "my main objective was to kill Son Goku in vengeance for my late father. But now, not only do I have to do that, but I have to make sure YOU don't blow our cover!" In that moment, he smashes his fist against the wall, leaving a large imprint on the wall. "Now… I will only give you one chance to explain yourself for your childish belligerents, before I pull you out of this tournament, and if you're not so lucky, take your life as well."

"But…" I started before he interrupted.

"One chance! So choose your words carefully."

I sighed before I spoke. "Like I said before, someone was telling me lies about you and father betraying me and that Son Goku doesn't deserve to die. When he wouldn't shut up, I just…got angry and lost control…"

"As I suspected…" Big Brother snarled, "Kami is here…"

"Kami? Who's Kami?"

"A damn nuisance that I wish never existed." He faces me with a stoic look. "Hasn't father ever explained him to you?"

I shake my head sideways. "Not really. He's dead, remember?"

"Idiot. You mean you haven't pieced it together by now that the voice barking orders in your head is our FATHER?"

"Wait…what?" I look away as I pace nervously now. "You mean to tell me that for the past six months and I've actually been talking to my father all this time?! Without thinking, I smack head against the wall. "I'm such a dumbass…"

"Stop fooling around! Look! I've already decided not to take you out of this tournament-"

I stop and face my brother with a happy smile. "You did?!"

"Only because not only do I allow this, but I'm forced to as well."

"Huh?"

"Kami may be here, but its possible he's disguised himself amongst the humans in the crowd. If true, he may be trying to reach you. Maybe he has encountered you before, but you didn't notice him."

"I think your right… One time I did meet this strange guy... He gave a message that he said came from…" Suddenly, an old memory snapped into my mind. "…Kami! Yeah! He was the one who told me about this tournament in the first place!"

"Then that proves my point. He must be planning to eliminate us somehow during this tournament."

"Then let's find and kill him! That way, he won't be a problem."

Suddenly, he grabs the collar of my shirt and slams me onto the wall. "You will not…!" He snarled. "If you do happen to find him, you are to contact me and stay put. Understood, Kurai?"

I nod feverishly. "Yes, Big Brother."

He drops me harshly, making me land hard. "Good."

As if on cue, the announcer's voice booms from the outside. "The winner of this match goes to…Hero! Give this man a round of applause!"

"Let's go, Kurai," Big Brother ordered.

Without a word, I put my hood back on and follow him to the entrance of the arena. Once there, I watch the announcer in the middle of the arena.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen! The Semi-Finals are about to begin. First, let us give recognition to our semi-finalists Son Goku, Kurai, Ma Junior, and Hero!" This follows a loud applause and shouting from the crowd. Instinctively, I place my hands on my ears.

Jeez… If this keeps up, I swear I'm gonna go deaf!

"First match of the semi-finals is Goku versus Kurai! Fighters, please come on out!"

Confidently, I walk to the arena with Goku beside me, parting away as we stand on opposite sides of the ring.

"I wish you luck," Goku said kindly.

"Same to you," I retorted harshly, "cause your gonna need it!"

"Fighters, get ready…!" the announced called out.

Both Goku and I get in our fighting stances.

Finally… After months of training, I'll finally kill the man who killed my father. Once I destroy this bastard, I'll avenge my father and make him proud! I hope you're watching father…

"Fighters...BEGIN!"
