The Legend Of Kaiser
A.N: Hey guys I am back. I bet you missed me. Well some of you. Okay maybe a few…maybe less than a few…one person? Nah I kid. So I've gotten some interesting reviews and PMs telling me about who I should make the winner. I have made up my mind on the winner but you guys still have some time to convince me otherwise. The tournament will not be ending in this chapter. It will end in the next so you still have one more shot on telling me who YOU want to win and why. Anyway, here's chapter 34. Please enjoy and please review.
Chapter 34
Tournament Start
Some contestants looked at the screen despair and some looked at it with excitement. Kaiser looked at it with slight disappointment because he had to fight the most difficult people.
"Great. Just great. If I win, I'll have to fight Brila and then if I win against her I'll have to fight either Trunks or dad. Fan-frikkin-tastic." He thought to himself as he let out a silent groan.
"The first match will begin in a few moments so please get ready." The announcer announced.
"Well G, you're up first." Brila said excitedly.
"I have to fight a Saiyan right off the bat." Yamcha groaned.
"You wouldn't have gotten far anyway." Kaiser said with a Vegeta like smirk.
"Don't be so mean Kaiser." Gohan chuckled.
"He's right though. I had no chance to begin with." The former bandit chuckled. "Oh well. If I have to go out, I am gonna go out by giving everything that I've got."
"Best thing you've said ever since I met you." Kaiser chuckled.
"Gee thanks." Yamcha replied with a frown making everyone laugh.
"Good luck for your match you two." Trunks said as he walked over to them.
"Thanks man. I'll definitely need it." Yamcha chuckled.
"Let's go and wait near the ring." Brila suggested.
"I don't think we're allowed there." Tien argued.
"Dad and I will persuade them. Won't we dad?" Kaiser said as he shot his father a smirk that could rival his own.
"Whatever." He grunted and with that, the Z Fighters made their way through the tunnel that led them to the ring. They decided to wait and watch right at the end of the tunnel so they would have a good view of the fight however unknown to them, another fighter followed them there and she was in dire need for some answers.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" The announcer cheered. "It's time to begin our first match of The 25th Martial Arts Tournament!" He exclaimed getting countless of cheers from the crowd. "Our first contestant is a mystery boy! He is said to have been present during the Cell Games and he has finally graced us with a name! Everyone! Please give it up for Kakarot!" He cheered as Gohan made his way to the ring. The crowd surprisingly went wild upon seeing the golden haired teenager.
"Our other contestant is no stranger to us all. He has participated in this tournament before but he has never won. He is also a famous baseball player and his skills are unrivaled. Please give it up for Yamcha!" He cheered as Yamcha made his way to the ring. The crowd gave him a warm reception as they remembered him from the previous tournaments.
"There will be no need for a force field for this match." Kaiser grunted.
"Why not?" Brila asked.
"Admit it Bri. There won't be much going on here. Gohan will play around a little and then he'll knock him out of the ring." Kaiser said bluntly.
"You never know. You might be underestimating Yamcha a little." She replied.
"Maybe a little. Fine. I'll put it up myself" Kaiser said as he used his mind to set up an invisible force field around the ring. "There. I did it and it seems as if we have some company." He said as he caught a glimpse of Videl from the corner of his eyes. "What does she want?" He grunted.
"Answers I guess." Brila stated.
"Let the match begin!" The announcer exclaimed.
"Good luck Yamcha." Gohan said respectfully.
"You too kid." He said as he dashed towards Gohan with such speed that the demi Saiyan would consider sluggish.
The former bandit started out with a right hook that Gohan dodged easily. He then continued to a fury of punches and kicks that the demi Saiyan had no trouble dodging. Yamcha knew that he wasn't getting anywhere so he jumped back and shot several ki blasts that connected with Gohan and they created a huge cloud of smoke but that wasn't going to affect Gohan in any way.
Yamcha appeared from behind intending to hit the demi Saiyan with a backhand but Gohan was well aware of this and so he caught Yamcha's hand and continued to throw him into the sky. He followed him in his flight and then he kicked him back to the ground. Yamcha landed on his feet and he looked up to see Gohan right in front of him.
The crowd exploded in cheers and gasps because they couldn't believe what they were seeing. Even Yamcha was amazed by how outmatched he was and thoughts of giving up were flooding into his mind but he ignored those thoughts and jumped back and charged up for his signature homing ki ball attack. He directed the ki ball towards Gohan but unfortunately for Yamcha, Gohan caught his energy ball and crushed it in his hand but Gohan wasn't finished just there. He moved so fast that Yamcha couldn't see him coming and before he could defend himself, Gohan drove his fist into Yamcha's gut that sent him flying out of the ring and onto the lush green grass.
"And your winner is Kakarot by ring out!"The announcer cheered. Gohan smiled at the crowd and then he stepped out of the ring and helped Yamcha up to his feet.
"Good stuff kid." Yamcha coughed as he massaged his stomach. "You pack quite the punch." He chuckled.
"Thanks Yamcha. You didn't do too bad yourself." Gohan said as he helped him to the tunnel.
"Great match guys." Krillen said as he gave both the fighters a pat on the back.
"Do you need a senzu bean Yamcha?" Tien asked.
"There's no need for that. I am fine." He thanked.
"It's your turn next Videl." Kaiser said as he turned around to face her.
"How did you know I was here?" She gasped.
"We can sense energies." Brila replied.
"You're here for answers aren't you?" Gohan asked as he stepped up to her. She looked back into his teal eyes and nodded. "Win your match and I'll tell you what you want to know."
"How do you know that I'll win?" She asked curiously.
"I can tell. Good luck." Gohan replied as he put his hand on her shoulder making her blush slightly.
"Thank you." She said as she made her way out of the tunnel.
"The first match showed us how much we don't know about the fighters present on this planet." The announcer spoke in awe. "Now get ready to meet your two new contestants! Both of them have participated before but one of them has a special place in our hearts. She is the daughter of Mr. Satan and she is also considered the favorite to win this tournament by many! Give it up for Videl Satan!" He cheered as said pig tailed girl walked up to the ring. She gave the crowd a few waves and smiles and then she began concentrating.
"Now our next contestant is no stranger to us either! He has competed before but has lost on every occasion against Mr. Satan himself. Ladies and gentlemen! Please give it up for Spopovich!" He cheered as Spopovich made his way to the ring but unlike Videl, he was greeted by boos.
"Oh shut up!" The hairy vulgar man cried. He had crusted saliva on his beard and moustache and he had terrible body odor as it wasn't able to escape the Saiyan's sensitive sense of smell.
"God damn it! That guy needs to take a shower!" Brila said as she slapped her hands onto her nose.
"Damn our sensitive noses!" Kaiser complained. "What exactly are you going to tell her G?" He asked as his eyes travelled over to Gohan whose eyes remained fixed on Videl.
"I am not sure. What should I tell her?" He asked in an almost hopeless tone.
"Just the basic stuff I guess. A little about Saiyans and our powers and all that." Brila spoke calmly.
"What if she asks that who really beat Cell?" Gohan asked.
"Don't tell her. Tell her that you can't answer that question. She'll understand." Kaiser spoke coolly. "Let's talk about this later. The match is about to start." He said as he turned his attention to the ring.
"Contestants! Begin!" He exclaimed.
"I am going to take my revenge today by beating you up little girl!" Spopovich said as saliva escaped his mouth.
"Close your mouth old man. Your breath stinks." Videl provoked making the tall brute growl in response.
He ran towards the pig tailed girl in attempt to seize her in bear hug so he could crush her but she jumped out of his bear hug and landed an uppercut on his chin making him stumble backwards.
"Why you!" He growled as he jogged up to her slowly with a right hook. Videl dodged his attack and delivered a roundhouse kick on his ribs that knocked the giant down.
"I am not done yet." He said as he slowly got up from the ground.
"Yes you ARE!" She said as she charged towards the ugly brute with a right hook. Spopovich found himself too weak to dodge or block so he tried to run away but he was too slow and when he looked back, Videl's fist hit his face with enough force to knock him out of bounds.
"She packs a punch Gohan." Kaiser said in a mildly surprised tone.
"I know." Gohan said as he admired her beauty.
"And your winner by ring out is…Videl Satan!" The announcer cheered making the crowd explode in cheers. "She'll advance to the next round to face off against Kakarot!"
"I guess its Q&A time with Kakarot." Gohan chuckled.
"Don't worry. We'll help you." Brila reassured.
"Thanks Bri." He thanked.
"The next match is going to be quite interesting." Kaiser spoke coolly. "You ready badly?" He chuckled.
"N-No." The bald monk replied uneasily.
"You better be." 18 said sharply.
"Y-Yes dear." He replied uneasily.
"Good luck Krillen." Piccolo said sternly as he reached out his hand.
Krillen looked at him with a surprised expression but that quickly turned into a smile. "You too Piccolo." He said as he shook the Namekian's hand.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! It's time to start match number three!" The announcer cheered. "Our first contestant is one of our classic competitors. He was last sighted at the Cell Games and since then he was bound to make an appearance and he finally has! Give it up for Krillen!" He cheered making the crowd explode in cheers. Krillen waved to the crowd as he made his way to the ring. Upon walking up the ring, he saw Spopovich being carried away by a stretcher.
"That's one tough girl. No wonder Gohan likes her." He chuckled.
"Our next contestant is also no stranger to us and the last time he entered he blew up the ring but in the end he was defeated by the legendary Goku who unfortunately, is not here this year. We also this man at the Cell Games and we're kind of glad to see him again." He chuckled uneasily. "Give it up for Beelzebub!" He cheered as Piccolo made his way to the ring. The crowd fell silent as Piccolo entered the ring. The crowd did not dare to say anything because they knew that this guy was able to blow up the ring.
"Contestants! Begin!" The announcer exclaimed.
Krillen and Piccolo dropped into their stances and tried their best to find flaws in each other's stance so they could strike there and as expected the two failed to find any.
Krillen was starting to get impatient and so he decided to charge towards Piccolo which was a mistake because that's exactly what the Namekian wanted.
Piccolo dodged his charge right at the last second and grabbed the semi bald monk's leg and smashed him to the ground. Krillen ignored the pain and escaped from Piccolo's grasp and managed to land a right hook on the Namekian's face but it did little to no damage. Piccolo replied with a right hook of his own that sent the semi bald monk flying across the ring. Piccolo appeared behind him with light speed and kicked him up into the sky.
Krillen regained his composure and scanned the area for Piccolo but he was knocked back to the ground before he could track his whereabouts. Krillen slowly got to his feet and saw Piccolo standing a few meters away from him.
"I shouldn't have stopped training." Krillen chuckled weakly.
"You're right. You shouldn't have." Piccolo said sternly.
"I am not done yet Piccolo." He said as he began charging up. "I am going to go all out!" He said as he exploded in a blue aura.
He dashed towards Piccolo and unleashed a fury of punches at the Namekian who parried them all.
"That's much better." Gohan said with a smile. "I am surprised he even has that much in him."
"I bet 18 didn't go easy on him." Brila chuckled.
"He won't win though. Piccolo is holding back." Kaiser stated bluntly. "And look who is back." He smirked as he turned around to face Videl.
"Y-You're back." Gohan stammered.
"Yes I am." Videl replied sternly.
"And you want answers I presume." Brila added.
"Yes I do."
"Alright then. What do you want to know?" Kaiser asked.
"That guy over there said that some of your comrades died that day." She said as she glanced over to Vegeta who was watching the fight. "Who were they?"
"Friends." Gohan said with a frown.
"Names please." Videl replied.
"What's it to you?" Kaiser asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"I want to know so their names can be remembered and I want everyone to acknowledge their sacrifice." She said boldly.
"That's very noble and kind of you." Brila thanked her sincerely. Kaiser was one of the three who died that day and she wanted people to honor and remember his death even if it was a temporary death span.
"There were three people who died that day." Kaiser spoke coolly. "Two of them are alive and well but one of them isn't." He continued making Videl look at him as if he was a mad man.
"I am not in the mood for jokes." She said as she narrowed her eyes.
Kaiser merely smirked at her and closed his eyes. "I have heard that they aired one death on TV. Do you mind telling me about that?" He asked.
"One of them died protecting his two friends from Cell. One was a boy and the other was a girl. The guy who died was a boy too." She replied instantly.
"That's correct and how exactly did the boy die?" Kaiser asked.
"He was impaled by Cell's tail. His tail went right through his stomach." She replied with a quizzical expression.
Kaiser smirked at her again and lifted his shirt up slightly and revealed his scar, which was on his stomach, to her. She watched in disbelief as his scar was at the same place as the place where the boy from the Cell Games got stabbed.
"H-How can this be?" She asked in disbelief.
"I am one of the three who died that day." He said coolly. "He also died that day." Kaiser said as he pointed at his brother from the future.
"Then how are you alive?" She asked.
"That we cannot tell you." Gohan said as he decided that she didn't need to know more.
"Why not?" She demanded.
"Please Videl. Please understand. I don't like talking about that day. I had to lose my best friend and my father that day." He pleaded as he looked straight into her eyes. The beauty of Super Saiyan eyes was truly enchanting and Videl was definitely enchanted.
"I am sorry for your loss but just one more question." She pleaded.
"Go ahead." Brila spoke.
"Was my father really the one who beat Cell?" She asked.
"Will you believe us if we tell you that he didn't?" Gohan asked as he was just inches away from her face.
"That's enough." Kaiser said as he hated to step in at this moment. "We can't tell you anymore. I hope you understand."
"I do. Thank you though." She said sincerely earning smiles from the trio.
"Let's get back to the fight shall we?" Brila spoke as the Saiyan trio and their new human friend resumed their gaze onto the fight.
Piccolo was being chased by Krillen's distructo disk and he was starting to get tired of running so he turned around and shot him with one of his signature attacks.
"Special Beam Cannon!" He yelled as he shot out spiral energy beam from his finger tips that broke through Krillen's Distructo Disk. He then appeared from the smoke and kicked Krillen on his face that sent him crashing down on the ground.
"Had enough yet Krillen?" Piccolo asked as he folded his arms.
"I think so. I think that last attack threw my nervous system out of whack so I can't quite feel the pain yet." He laughed weakly. "Oh wait here it is. Owwwwwww." He said as he fell unconscious.
"And the winner by knockout is Beelzebub!" The announcer cheered as the crowd cheered half heartedly.
18 rushed to the ring to see if her husband was okay. "Krillen! Talk to me!" She said worriedly.
"Don't worry. He's just unconscious." Kaiser said as he materialized next to her. "He just needs a senzu bean. Let the medical staff take him to one of the rooms and then join him as soon as you win your match." Kaiser commanded. 18 nodded hesitantly and let the medical staff take him away on a stretcher.
"I'll get you for this." 18 snarled at Piccolo.
"I'll be looking forward to it." The Namekian replied as he retreated back into the tunnel.
"H-How did he do that?" Videl gasped.
"Do what?" Kaiser asked as he materialized next to Brila. Videl stepped back in shock because she couldn't really believe her eyes. One second he was there and now he's here.
"You were there! Now you're here! How are you here?" She gasped.
"Your dad would call them tricks." Brila remarked. "What would you call it?"
"I don't know…" She said as she didn't know who to believe. "Super powers?"
"That's one way of putting it." Gohan laughed.
"Just how powerful are you guys?" She said in awe.
"A friend of mine once blew up the moon. He was pretty weak back then and he's much stronger now and the way things are now, I am ten times more powerful than he is." Gohan smirked.
"Talking trash kid?" Piccolo grunted.
"I'll show you when I fight you." Gohan replied.
"Ladies and gentlemen! It's time for the next match to begin!" The announcer cheered. "Please welcome the mysterious and beautiful 18!" He said as the female android walked towards the ring. The crowd gave her a loud cheer which consisted mainly of the male category.
"Now welcome our next contestant! He's no stranger to us as he has participated the tournament before this one but unfortunately for him, he lost in the first round now he looks onto go further. Please give it up for…MIGHTY MASK!" He exclaimed as the crowd exploded in laughter. He looked so ridiculous that it was laughable.
"He looks ridiculous." Vegeta snorted. "What is the point of that get up?" He hissed.
"What a fool. The outfit is one of the primary reasons will lose. It hinders his vision and restricts his movements." Kaiser remarked.
"He might look ridiculous but he can pack a punch." Videl spoke.
"18 is much stronger than she looks." Brila smiled.
"I remember the time she beat the crap out of me when she first showed up with her brother." Kaiser chuckled. "I shouldn't have said what I said."
"What did you say?" Brila asked.
"I told her to make me a sandwich." Kaiser and Gohan exploded in laughter but it ceased after Brila smacked them upside the head.
"I should thank her for it!" She growled.
"Hey, she tried to kill me." Kaiser said in his defense.
"Why did she try to kill you?" Videl asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"Another story for another day Videl." Gohan said as he rubbed his head.
"Let the match begin!" The announcer exclaimed.
"Normally I would go easy on you because you're a woman but today I have no intention to. I'll send you to your loser boyfriend." Mighty Mask smirked.
"Yup. He's dead." Brila spoke bluntly.
"What makes you say that?" Kaiser asked.
"I would do the same if anyone said something like that about you." She said as she pecked his lips.
"Oh would you now?" Kaiser replied in a husky tone as he kissed her back.
"They should get a room." Videl said with an annoyed tone.
"Tell me about it." Gohan added.
"I have an idea. Why don't you get back to the kitchen and make a sand-" Before he could finish, he was knocked out of the arena and through the walls of the spectators area and then out of the stadium by a devastating punch from the female android.
The whole stadium fell silent except for the fighters in the tunnel. They were laughing their heads off except for Piccolo and Vegeta. Vegeta chuckled silently while Piccolo merely smirked.
"I look forward to seeing that on the internet." Kaiser laughed uncontrollably.
"You said it!" Brila added as she wiped a tear that threatened to leave her eye.
"Where did they take Krillen?" 18 asked as she ran into the tunnel.
"They took him in room 23." Piccolo grunted. "Give him this." He said as he handed her a senzu bean. She gave him a nod and ran off.
"What was that?" Videl asked as she finished laughing.
"Medicine." Gohan chuckled.
"I guess the winner by ring out and most definitely knockout is 18." He cheered half heartedly but the crowd went wild with cheers. "She will advance to the next round to face Beelzebub!"
"You're up next." Kaiser said as he glanced over to his father. "Are gonna toy with him a little?"
"No. I won't let that lowlife touch me." Vegeta spat.
"Nasty Veggie." Brila joked.
"Watch it girl." He grunted.
"I expected him to be a little angrier than that." Videl said with a surprised expression.
"Normally, he would beat the crap out of anyone who would make fun of his name. There are only two people who can get away with it." Gohan answered.
"Who's the other person?" She asked but Gohan gave her an apologetic smile which told her that he can't really tell her that. "That's okay. Another story for another day." The pig tailed girl smiled.
"Thank you for understanding." Gohan said sincerely.
"It's time for match number five and please help me welcome someone who has participated in the 23rd and 24th Martial Arts Tournament but both times he was knocked out by Mr. Satan himself. Ladies and gentlemen! Please give it up for Killa!" The announcer cheered as Killa made his way to the ring. He received a mixed reception because he had his fans and his haters.
"Now help me welcome one of our special fighters this year. We know next to nothing about this man except for the fact he was present during the Cell Games. Let's all welcome…VEGETA!" He exclaimed as Vegeta began walked towards the ring with his arms folded.
"This going to end pretty quickly." Gohan chuckled.
"Yeah. Vegeta is not in the best of moods after Hercule put up that act." Brila commented.
"How do you know whether it was an act or not?" Videl asked.
"When someone is sick or even has some sort of pain in their body, their ki signature becomes somewhat unstable." Kaiser said as he inspected his father's opponent. "His ki signature was not unstable." Kaiser said as he mentally concluded that his father's opponent was a joke.
"B-But why did he do t-that?" Videl asked in disbelief.
""It should be obvious by now Videl." Gohan said as he put his hand on her shoulder.
"Is he a-afraid?" She whispered.
"Frightened." Kaiser replied as he had to be brutally honest with her.
"B-But why?" She asked in disbelief.
"Because he can't match our strength." Brila replied hoping that the girl won't break down.
"Forgive us Videl but we have to be brutally honest with you." Kaiser spoke coolly as he stepped right in front of her. "Hit me right here." He said as he pointed at his forehead. "And don't hold back."
"I can't. You'll get hurt." She said making Gohan and Brila chuckle softly.
"Don't worry about it. Just do it." Brila chuckled. Videl looked over to Gohan who just gave her a nod of approval.
She closed her eyes and punched Kaiser's forehead with all her might. Kaiser stood there unaffected and Videl felt a sharp sting in her knuckles.
"Hurts doesn't it?" Kaiser replied coolly as he took her fist into his hand. "You cracked your knuckles by punching me as hard as you could. Now let me ask you." Kaiser said as he looked into her eyes. "Would the same happen if you punched your father?" He asked leaving Videl speechless.
"You could crush his skull. You sure pack a punch." Gohan chuckled as he took her hand from Kaiser and poured some of his own energy into her which nullified the pain and healed her broken knuckles.
"H-How did you do that?" Videl asked as she felt the pain vanish.
"Yeah, how did you do that?" Kaiser asked with a quizzical expression.
"It's something I learnt from him." Gohan said as he glanced over to Piccolo.
"Thanks." She said as blood rose up to her cheeks.
"Anytime." Gohan said as he smiled back at her.
"The match is about to start." She said as she leaned against Kaiser's chest. Kaiser dropped his head into her hair as the aroma of her hair that acted like a magnet. Gohan and Videl both shook their heads at the two lovebirds but then they turned their attention to the match.
"Contestants! Begin!" The announcer announced as he jumped out of the ring.
"Alright bub! I am going to knock your teeth-" Before he could finish, he was knocked out cold as Vegeta delivered a soft backhand at the back of his neck. The crowd was silent for a few moments but then they exploded in cheers.
"And your winner by knockout is Vegeta!" The announcer cheered as it encouraged the crowd to cheer even louder.
"That was fast." Videl said with wide eyes.
"Told you so." Gohan chuckled.
"Took you long enough." Kaiser said as he shot his father a smirk.
"Silence boy. I'd like to see you try to beat your opponent faster than I beat mine." Vegeta said as he shot his son a smirk.
"Now that's just not fair." Kaiser complained as he knew that he couldn't beat Tien as fast as his father beat Killa.
"It's your turn next Mirai." Brila said as she turned her attention towards Trunks. "I would wish you luck but I don't think you'll need it."
"Thanks Lila." Trunks thanked.
"Ladies and gentlemen! It's time for round six and this time we don't have much information about any of the fighters except for the fact that they're both blonde and powerful." The announcer said hesitantly because he wasn't too sure what to say about these fighters. "Help me welcome the tall and muscular fighter; MIRAI!" He announced as Trunks made his way to the ring. The ladies went wild upon seeing him make his way to the ring. You could see the jealousy the guys had on their faces.
"Now help me welcome the other blonde fighter; Jewel!" He announced as Jewel made his way to the ring. He got the same reception as Trunks but he was a little more arrogant when it came to his fans. He waved at them arrogantly and shot the girls some flying kisses.
Jewel entered the ring and began inspecting his opponent. "I must say." He began arrogantly. "You look almost as good as I do but almost is never good enough."
"You talk too much. Can you fight as well as you talk trash?" Trunks said as he shot him a smirk.
"Why you insolent ugly piece of crap!" Jewel cursed.
"Oh I am sorry. Did I hurt your feelings?"
"That's it. You're going to get it now!" He hissed as he jumped at Trunks.
"There are thirteen holes in your stance. Your fighting style is ugly." Trunks spat as he caught his fist and drove his knee into the trash talking fool instantly knocking him out cold.
"And your winner by knockout is…MIRAI!" The announcer cheered as the crowd started chanting his name. Trunks smiled and waved out of the crowd as he made his way back to the tunnel.
"Mirai will go on to the next round and fight Vegeta!" He cheered as that was one fight they couldn't wait for.
"Well done Mirai." Kaiser chuckled. It felt kind of awkward not calling him Trunks or brother or even bro.
"That was pretty impressive!" Videl exclaimed. "How did you manage to find all the flaws in his stance?" She asked.
"We have sharp eyesight Videl." Gohan said bluntly.
"Is there anything you guys don't have?" She asked as she began to look at them as if they were all omnipotent.
"Money…" Gohan said under his breath.
"What did you say?" Videl asked.
"Nothing. Anyway." He said as he wanted to start a new conversation. "It's your turn next Lila."
"I know. You ready Chaotzu?" said Brila enthusiastically.
"You bet I am. Although I'll lose." The short pale emperor replied.
"Good luck you two." The Satan girl spoke. The two contestants gave her a nod and readied themselves to be called out to the ring.
The announcer stepped into the ring to call out the next two contestants. Like always, he stopped as he reached the middle of the ring so everyone could see him properly.
"Ladies and gentlemen! It is time for match number 7!" He cheered getting a loud roar from the crowd in response. "First let me introduce to you the beautiful yet powerful mystery fighter from the Cell Games. We know nothing about her except for the fact that she's super powerful. Please give it up for…LILA!" He cheered making the crowd erupt in cheers.
"Good luck Bri." Kaiser whispered in her ear so no one could hear him. He then continued to plant his lips on hers for a few seconds. He parted away from her and gave her that look that sent goose bumps down her spine.
"Thanks Kaisy." She whispered as she began walking towards the ring. She scanned the arena for her family and friends and found Bulma and co. cheering for her. She smiled at them as she entered the ring.
"Kakarot." said Kaiser. "Put up a force field." He commanded. Gohan merely nodded and set up an invisible force field around the ring.
"Now our next contestant has competed twice in this tournament before and he is one of the few masters of the Dodon technique. He also has telekinesis as one of his powers. Most of his opponents underestimate purely based on his height but let's hope that Lila doesn't do anything like that. Let's all welcome back…CHAOTZU!" He cheered. Chaotzu floated to the ring as he waved to the cheering crowd.
"Now let the match…BEGIN!" He announced as he jumped out of the ring.
Brila jumped away from his opponent and immediately jumped into her stance. Chaotzu did not move and waited patiently for his Saiyan friend to attack first. Brila shot a few ki blasts at her opponent as attempt to distract him but he was one step away from her as he dodged the oncoming ki blasts narrow and he was also able to predict that she would attack from behind. He froze her movements using his telekinesis. She froze on the spot and Chaotzu set on the ground with a delight.
"Now I have you right where I want you." Chaotzu said as he began charging up energy on his fingertips. Brila watched him blankly. She didn't look concerned at all.
"DODON RAY!" The emperor yelled as he shot out a yellow energy beam that hit Brila right on her stomach. The blast made a huge smoke cloud and Chaotzu wasn't too sure if it worked but he kept up his telekinesis just in case.
"Is she going to be okay?" Videl said with concern.
"Oh please. Something like that can't hurt her." Kaiser grunted.
"Are you sure?" Videl asked with a quizzical expression.
"Oh he's sure. Don't worry about it V." Gohan said with a smile.
"V?" The pig tailed girl asked.
"Sorry. Slip of the tongue." Gohan said apologetically.
As the smoke cleared, Brila stood there unfazed and she still had a smile on her face which means that she hardly felt it.
"I knew that wouldn't work." Said Chaotzu half heartedly.
"Don't be too hard on yourself." Brila said with a smile. "I did kinda feel that attack. No offense." She said apologetically as she took a step forward.
"Y-You shouldn't be able to move!" He exclaimed.
"I am stronger than I look." She replied as she began walking up to him slowly.
Chaotzu gritted his teeth as he focused all of his energy into stopping her from taking another step. He did manage to stop her movements but she put a little more effort into winning and moved so fast that he didn't even see her standing next to him till a couple of seconds.
She hit him with a soft backhand that was strong enough to safely knock him out of the ring without hurting him too much.
"And your winner by ring out is LILA!" The announcer cheered.
Lila immediately jumped out of the ring and helped Chaotzu up to his feet. "You did well." said Brila.
"You Saiyans are something else. Congratulations and good luck." Chaotzu said he walked back to the tunnel with her.
"That was amazing!" Videl admitted. "How did you move so fast?"
"It wasn't really that fast." Brila giggled.
"We can move much faster than that." Gohan smirked.
"I guess it's my turn next." said Kaiser as he finally unfolded his arms. He shot the three eyed man a fiery look. Tien stood up after inspecting his best friend's minor injuries. He shot Kaiser a similar fiery look as he stepped up to him. He was a good few inches taller than the Saiyan teenager. The triclops held out his hand as a form of respect. Kaiser gave him his trademark smile and shook his hand.
"I have been waiting for this Tien." said Kaiser.
"So have I." The three eyed man replied.
"Now this is going to be a good fight." Gohan said to Videl as his eyes remained fixed on the Kaiser and Tien.
"Almost every fight has been amazing." said Videl.
"This one is going to be rather special." Brila said excitedly.
"Ladies and gentlemen! We have finally reached the last match of the first round and may I say that this one seems to be the one that people have been waiting for since the start of the round as we have two fighters from the Cell Games and one of them is a former champion." The announcer spoke from the middle of the ring. "He won the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament and he made it all the way to the semi finals in the following tournament. He has shown extremely incredible displays of battle and he has never failed to amaze us. Please welcome… TIEN!" The announcer cheered as the triclops received a warm reception. He made his way to the ring and waited patiently for Kaiser to join him.
"Now our next contestant is a mystery to us like the rest of his friends but what we do know is that he's extremely powerful and he'll give a Tien a run for his money. Our final contestant is…BARDOCK!" He cheered as the crowd roared in delight to see the fighter who scored those high numbers when he punched the machine.
"Good luck Kaisy." Brila whispered into his ear as she pressed her lips against hers. Kaiser pushed back as their kiss became more intense.
"You might wanna go now." Gohan said with an annoyed tone.
"Oh right." Kaiser chuckled as he moved away from Brila. "Set up a force field you two." Kaiser commanded the two Saiyans. They nodded as they watched Kaiser head for the ring. He blitzed towards the ring making the crowd cheer even harder.
"Let the match begin!" He cheered as he jumped out of the ring.
Tien wasted no time as he charged towards Kaiser with a fury of punches that the Saiyan dodged with ease but he didn't stop just there, he continued to unleash hell on the teenage Saiyan. Kaiser caught one of his fists and threw him across the ring.
"Hand to hand combat won't work against me Tien. I am too fast."
"Then I guess I need more arms then." He said spiking the Saiyan's curiosity.
"More arms?" Kaiser asked with a quizzical expression. Tien did not reply to him but he let out a yell of agony as two arms popped out under his two already existent arms. Kaiser looked at him with a bewildered expression as he was, admittedly, surprised.
"More arms." Tien smirked as he launched himself at the young Saiyan with another barrage of punches.
This time Kaiser found it much more difficult dodging all the punches that were coming towards him and occasionally he would get hit. He finally managed to catch another fist after ducking under two of his fists but he momentarily forgot about the fourth one and that was all that Tien needed to land a solid right hook on the teenage Saiyan's face. The punch was strong enough to send Kaiser stumbling back a little and Tien took this to his advantage and unleashed a fury of punches on the Saiyan's face which pushed him to the edge of the ring. Kaiser dodged the last fist by jumping into the air and he then dashed behind Tien to deliver a roundhouse kick but Tien was able to catch his leg with three of his arms. There was simply too much power for him to catch it with only one arm. He then drove his fist into Kaiser's stomach that sent him flying a few feet away.
The crowd cheered excitedly as they saw some incredible fighting skills in that ring. Even the fighters in the tunnel were surprised to see Tien do so well. Kaiser slowly got up as he rubbed the blood of his lips.
"I must say Tien. I am impressed." He admitted.
"Told you that I've been training nonstop." He smirked.
"Indeed. How about we take it up a notch?" Kaiser shot him a smirk of his own as he let his energy flow through more smoothly. His power wasn't as suppressed as it was before and Tien was well aware of it so he took his guard.
"No guard can protect you against my speed." Kaiser spoke almost evilly. "You should know that." Kaiser said as he appeared behind Tien without him noticing. Tien dodged just at the nick of time as Kaiser missed his right hook however he didn't just stop there. He appeared on Tien's side and rammed him across the ring he then teleported to the other side and kicked him into the sky and he followed him in his flight and then he hammered him back to the ground and Tien's landing managed to chip a few tiles and crack a few of his ribs.
Tien slowly picked himself up as he tried to keep his balance. His arms retreated back into his body leaving only two of his arms out. "Y-You are way too powerful. I can't beat you with hand to hand combat." He said weakly.
"You can't beat me at all."
"I still have one more trick up my sleeve. This one…" He paused to breath. "I used against Cell and it managed to keep him at bay and I am sure it'll work against you too." He said as he put his hands together in a triangle formation.
"That technique is not powerful enough Tien."
"It worked against Cell." He replied weakly.
"I am not Cell. I am much stronger than he is."
"I was much weaker then."
"So was I."
"You don't know the secret behind the Neo Tribeam do you?"
"What secret?"
"Other than me there are only a few people in this arena who know the secret behind this technique."
Kaiser merely glared at him trying to figure out what he was scheming. He wanted to be ready for whatever Tien threw his way.
"The secret is that it takes part of your life force with you and you know the strongest energy people like us posses right?"
Kaiser didn't quite understand for a few seconds but suddenly it clicked and he knew that he was in trouble. "Life energy is the most powerful energy!" Kaiser exclaimed.
"THAT'S RIGHT!" He yelled as he began to glow golden. "NEO TRIBEAM!" He yelled out as shot out a triangular beam at the young Saiyan.
"SHIT!" Kaiser cursed as he put up his arms to block the deadly beam. He managed to block it but surprisingly it hurt. "Now what? Is that all you got?"
"Not quite." Tien smirked. "HA!" He yelled as he shot out another triangular beam. He kept shooting out one after the other and he kept going on and on and on. He began feeling dizzy after about the 50th beam and decided to take a rest.
All those blasts had created a huge cloud of smoke and Kaiser's condition was unknown to everyone. Even the fighters in the tunnel were at the edge of their seats because they had not expected Tien to do so much damage. After a few moments, the cloud of smoke cleared and everyone finally managed to see the condition Kaiser had been left in after those blasts.
He was on one knee and the top half of his gi had been burnt off and the worst part was that he had cuts and bruises all over his body.
"I must say Tien. You have outdone yourself." The Saiyan grunted as he got back to his feet. "You actually managed to hurt me." He said as he let go of his restraints. "You hurt me enough to make me serious."
"I am not done yet!" Tien yelled as he prepared himself for the next barrage of Neo Tribeams but before he could do anything, Kaiser materialized in front of him.
"Yes you are."
Tien just gritted his teeth and let out a barrage of Neo Tribeams at point blank range. He kept grunting after every attack as he could feel his energy reserves extremely low but suddenly Kaiser reached his hand out of the beam and grabbed Tien's hands which ceased his attacks.
"I told you so." He smirked as he drove his fist into Tien's stomach that sent him flying out of the ring. He fell unconscious as he connected with the walls of the arena.
"Your winner by ring out and knockout is…BARDOCK!" He cheered making the crowd explode in cheers. "Bardock will advance to fight Lila in the quarter finals of the tournament and since this was the last match of round one, we will be going for a short break so the fighters can recover from their fights so please grab your snacks or go sightseeing around the island." The announcer suggested making the crowd talk to each other about what they were going to do. "The next round will be starting in a couple of hours." He announced as he retreated into his quarters.
Kaiser walked over to Tien and lifted him over his shoulder and began walking towards the tunnel. He was first met by Yamcha who offered him to take Tien off his hands. He was then met by Brila who shoved a senzu bean down his throat. He felt all of his energy return and all of his wounds closed and all of his injuries vanish.
"That was a great fight Bardock." Gohan congratulated.
"That was amazing and to be honest, that was the best fight I have ever seen." Videl admitted.
"Then you haven't seen anything yet." Brila remarked. "The next round will be much more exciting."
Kaiser walked up to Piccolo and gave him an apologetic smile. "Please." He requested.
Piccolo merely grunted in response and shot Kaiser with a beam that restored his clothes. "Thanks Beelzebub." Kaiser thanked.
"Don't make this a habit." He grunted as he walked off.
"Well I am hungry." Gohan admitted. "Will you join us Videl?" Gohan asked as he took her hand. Videl just stared at Kaiser's repaired clothes and at this point she had enough of asking.
"Come on Videl. It'll be fun to have another girl at the table." said Brila with a smile.
"Okay okay." Vide blushed as she realized that she had subconsciously held Gohan's hand tightly.
"Let's go then." Kaiser cheered as he took Brila's hand and began walking towards the food section.
Everyone followed them and at the end of the group were Trunks and Vegeta. "What did you think of the match?" Trunks asked his father.
"The earthling has surprised me."
"Yeah I know. If Kaiser wouldn't have raised his power level at the last second, he could've been fatally injured.
"The brat just knows better."
"We'll be facing each other in the next around."
"I know. It'll be an easy win."
"Don't be too sure."
"And what is that supposed to mean?"
"Let's just say that I haven't been quite honest." Trunks said with a smirk as he joined his brother in the front of the line leaving Vegeta with a quizzical expression.

A.N: Finally I am done with chapter. Took me quite long and I really hope it's worth it and to be honest, this was much more difficult than I had originally thought it would be. Please let me know in your reviews who you want to win. Anyway, I hope you guys like it and please review and take care.
Teacon: We already discussed what we had to discuss but thanks for reviewing and sorry for being so energy less. You know the reason.
Guest: This isn't the tournament which happens in the Buu saga. I have planned something else for that. I had to make this 25th because the story is two years behind the Buu saga so yeah.
Vegetrunks: You still have another shot of telling me who you want to win and why. Thank you for reviewing though.
Littlewillywonka75: Sorry to disappoint you with Killa and co. being so weak but I wanted to keep it plain and simple. In his timeline they never met Broly so they never met Brila or did they? I am going to leave you to think about that. I love long reviews. Don't apologize.
Promanic: Mr. Satan will not be competing but I do like your suggestion of Gohan winning and your reason is good too. I know I made Gohan a little weak but that's mainly because he stopped training. I haven't done that. I might have done it if this would've been more of a comedy fic though. Thank you for review and please keep em coming.
Kakun: Yes. I'll be going to the future.
Ryuzaki1616: We'll just have to wait and see what other people think and then I'll come to a decision.
