Chapter 8: A New Junior Champion and...Fusion?
Hercule slowly made his way to the arena while cheering fans started to call out his name. Trying his best to hide his fear, Hercule did a few poses. Junior rolled his eyes.
"What a goofball." Krillin mumbled. "Junior! Don't kill him."
"What's that supposed to mean?" glared Videl as Gohan hit Krillin on the head.
"Oh nothing." Gohan replied. Videl glared before turning her attention back to the match.
"Hey kid, ya wanna rest before your match?" asked the announcer.
"Rest? For him? No thanks." Junior replied. Hercule forgot that he was supposed to fight the mini delivery boy and marched up the ring.
"Alright, little man! Are you ready to go toe to toe with...the champ." Hercule's voice lowered as he remembered who he was finally facing. Junior raced an eyebrow.
"I better take him out so he won't make a fool of himself." Junior said to himself. Off on the side of the arena, Goten, Trunks, and Taro were cheering for Junior. Well, everyone besides Trunks.
"Tear him apart Junior You could do it!" cheered Goten.
"Quiet there kid and watch your mouth." Hercule replied as Goten lowered his fist, which was in the air. Taro glared at Hercule. Hercule quickly turned his attention back to Junior. He started to untie his cape. He threw it in the air. He then started to punch and kick the air. Junior groaned and rolled his eyes.
"Might as well make him piss his pants." Junior started to punch the air with one fist very fast, keeping the bored expression on his face. Hercule looked wide eyed while Junior started to stretch.
"Let's take it easy okay? This is just an exhibition match right?" Hercule pleaded as Junior continued to stretch. "Please, don't use those tricks like you did to Cell at the Cell games."
"Tricks? You think those were tricks?" Junior shot a small ki blast through his finger. Hercule gasped and took several steps back. "Oh and by the way, I'm gonna try my best." Hercule had some tears in his eyes.
"Listen you little runt! This isn't a real match!" Hercule shouted, trying to act tough in front of thousands. But in the inside, he's crying like a little baby.
"To me it is." Junior replied.
"It looks like their ready to get their match underway, let's hear it for these two brave warriors!" Hercule thought of something fast. He got into a fetus position and groaned, pretending he had a stomach ache. "Oh no! It looks like Mr Satan is down!" Before the announcer could check on Hercule, Junior walked up to Hercule.
"Stomach ache huh?" Junior smirked. He lightly kicked Hercule in the stomach. Hercule flew towards the wall, outside the ring. Taro and Trunks moved their heads so they wouldn't get hit. There was a WHAM! When the smoke cleared, Hercule was stuck on the broken wall, beaten up. There was silence as the crowd were speechless, besides Vegeta laughing. Mr Satan then roughly landed on the grass.
"Why would ya do something like that Junior?!" Gohan shouted, breaking the silence while Videl was also speechless. Her father, the strongest in the world, was beaten by a kid.
"Someone had to teach him a lesson." Junior replied. He then pounded his fist in his hand and whistled, like nothing happened. "Do I get my prize and belt now?" The announcer snapped out of his awe and nodded. Hercule got up and started to laugh, while in pain.
"Good kick little man! He beat me up fair and square! What a great little fighter!" Hercule laughed nervously.
"That's it! Young Junior has defeated Mr Satan!" The crowd cheered. Hercule then bowed and made his way to the entrance. Junior shook his head, Goten and Taro looked confused, Trunks looked at Hercule like he was stupid.
"What a dumbass." Junior mumbled.
"Well congratulations Junior, you're stronger then the world champion." The announcer ruffled Junior's hair. Junior groaned. "Ladies and Gentlemen! The world martial arts championship will start in thirty minutes." Junior walked away from the announcer and walked past his three, well two, friends.
"You sure did show him." Taro replied as Junior smiled.
"Yeah! I'm proud of you!" Goten started to give Junior a noogie. Junior laughed and tackled Goten. Before the wrestling match could start, a bunch of reporters started to surround them. It was kinda awkward because Goten was on top Junior in a playful way. (You know, Goten's chin resting on Junior's hair.)
"Has anyone ever told you how cute you are?" One female reporter asked.
"Lots." Junior replied.
"Is that your little brother?" One male reporter asked.
"No." Goten replied.
"They're so cute." The female reporter squealed.
"So your last name's Son? Son, I like that." The male reporter said.
"He's gonna be a real hot hunk when he's older. That's for sure." The female reporter said as Junior blushed.
"What is your favorite TV show Junior?" asked a Chinese reporter.
"What's it like facing against the champ Junior?" Another male reporter asked. Junior needed to get away from these reporters and fast.
"Ask him! He's coming out." Junior pointed to the door behind the reporters. They turned around as Junior and the three chibis ran away. After they escaped from the reporters, they hopped over a wall.
"Damn reporters, they just bother people." Junior said.
"That's pretty much their job." Taro replied.
"Trust me, I know." Trunks added.
"Hey Junior, I gotta show you something." Taro grabbed Junior's hand and ran towards the adult championship entrance.
"Where're you guys going?" Goten shouted. They ignored him and disappeared in sight.
Taro made sure no one was around to see them, he turned to face Junior.
"I gotta show you something." Taro said as Junior drank his can of soda where he got out of nowhere.
"What?" Junior asked still drinking the soda. Taro looked left and right. No one in sight. He put his hands to the side.
"Fu-Sion-HA!" Taro finished the fusion dance as Junior spit out his soda.
"What the hell was that?! That's embarrassing." laughed Junior. Taro turned red from embarrassment.
"Listen, I have a idea. We could do the Fusion dance and participate in the adult championship. If we win, you could get extra money." Taro replied. Junior thought for a moment. Before he could reply, they heard Trunks's voice.
"That sounds like Trunks." Junior said as he narrowed his eyes. They raced towards his voice. They climbed up a wall and noticed Trunks knocking out a guy in a weird costume.
"Here, we can take his costume and participate in the championship." Trunks said as Goten came out of nowhere.
"Let's do the fusion dance." Junior replied. Taro looked at him for a second before nodding. They stood at least 15 feet away from each other and stretched out their right arms.
"Fu-Sion-Ha!" They both said as their index fingers touched. With a bright light, a new warrior appeared. He wore a dark red vest with puffy yellow padding on the rims of the vest. He wore white pants, a dark red sash, and black shoes, and also had a buff stomach. His hair was like Junior's super saiyan two hair, but a little shorter.
"Now, I gotta think of name." The warrior said. He scratched his head as he thought. "I got it! Goharo! Maybe stupid, but it was all I could think of. Now, what should I wear?" He looked down at his appearance. With a mixture of Junior's and Taro's voice, he said to himself. "It's probably.." He looked across from him and saw a man wearing a mask and a cape. "Jackpot. Hey mister!"
"What?! I'm busy!" snarled the man.
"What an attitude, Screw it." Goharo chopped the man's neck. He was knocked out as Goharo dragged his body to the bushes. "Alright. Time to pay Trunks a visit." He hopped out of the bushes and made his way to the entrance.
"Hurry, or you'll be late for the entries!" one of the monks said. Goharo turned and made it to the entrance.
"Mystery Man!" called the announcer.
"Is that my name?" Goharo asked to himself. "Might as well. That's me!" He ran over to the booth to draw is number. He put his hand out and drew number 16. "Number sixteen." The Z fighters looked at Goharo in confusion.
"That energy...it's amazing." Piccolo admitted.
"Don't worry. It's probably just Shin." assisted Goku.
"Mighty Mask?" asked the Announcer.
"That's me!" 'Mighty Mask' ran over to draw his number. "lucky number thirteen." 'Mighty Mask' then fell down. Goharo shook his head.
"Man, what a couple of idiots." Goharo waved his finger while shaking his finger. He was then bumped into someone.
"Watch it runt!" Vegeta spat.
"Sorry." Goharo mumbled as Vegeta walked past them. But the odd part was that Vegeta didn't have that attitude he always had. It looked like he was in a good mood. "Crap, how long has it been?" He then looked at Mighty Mask. "Great. Hey, uh, Mighty Mask." Mighty Mask coughed.
"Hello there. What'd ya need?" Mighty Mask asked in a deep voice. Goharo rolled his eyes.
"Do you know how long it's been?" asked Goharo.
"I don't know, about twenty six minutes." Mighty Mask replied. Goharo's eyes widened and dashed towards the bushes.
"Might as well stay here till my match." Goharo said to himself. Then with a POP, Taro and Junior returned to themselves.
"What happened?" asked Junior.
"Oh, When we do the fusion, there is a thirty minute time limit. So we could only stay like that for thirty minutes." Taro replied. He then notice that he was wearing the mask as Junior wore the cape.
"Fusion is fun." Junior admitted while smiling.
"Yeah. But, this is our secret." Taro replied. Elsewhere, Goku was watching in the trees.
"The Fusion technique? I didn't know Taro knew the Fusion technique." Goku said to himself. He then hopped off to the tree and went to find his friends.
