The day of the tournament...
Rugai and Tenchu drew their numbers in the preliminary round, and went to the board. "What number did you get Ru?" Rugai checked his paper.
"It says 300 on it." Both of them checked the board. "Looks like I'm the last fight in block 4. What did you get Tenchu?"
"95. Huh, block 2. Guess we won't be fighting each other until the finals." Both of them smiled, clasped their hands, and went to their respective blocks.
The moment Rugai got to the block 4 area, the referee looked around, then started speaking. "Pipe down because I'm going to say it once. The rules are simple: You lose if you're knocked out, get knocked out of the ring, make your opponent cry, killed your opponent, or bring in weapons not natural to the body. Any questions? No? Good. Fighters 226 and 227 report to the ring now." As both fighters got into the ring, both took an attack stance. "Begin." The fighter in a green Gi lunged at the nearly sumo sized one, tried for a kick, but was caught and thrown out of the ring. "226 advances. Fighters 228 and 229 in the ring, now!"
Several hours passed, Rugai finally got up in the ring. His opponent, was a bear sized man. "This runt is my opponent? He won't last five seconds. Just award the match to me and we'll move on."
"Can't do that dumbass, that'll be a violation on me and the rules. now begin!" Rugai jumped and kicked the big oaf out and out of the ring. The rest of the contestants was shocked at what transpired. "Winner, number 300. By the way kid, good job on shutting him up." Rugai smiled a bit and scratched the back of his head. "Now, fighters 226 and 229 in the ring." Shortly after the entered, Tenchu stood next to Rugai.
"That was impressive bro. You took on Haktar with ease." Rugai kept his eyes on the match.
"I don't like arrogant guys who think the size of fighters aren't importaint. It's the spirit that determines it."
"Well said, young one." Both Tenchu and Rugai turned around and Ferno was standing behind them.
"How'd you...?"
"As champion, I have an all access pass. Besides, I like to see all the fighters who's putting all their hearts and spirits into this tournament. By the way, congrats on making it into the finals number 95."
"Thanks. Why is block 4 taking so long?" Tenchu went back and stared at the ring.
"The fighters in block 4 aren't taking the tournament seriously."
"Rugai and Tenchu kept watching the two new figters entered the ring. "It's not that they're 'not taking it seriously', they want to prolong the preliminary because they have nothing back home from them." Tenchu and Ferno looked at Rugai with shocked expressions. "At least that's the vibe I'm getting." Both Tenchu and Ferno looked back at the ring, as two new fighters entered the ring.
"We need to hurry up. Fighters 231 and 234... Begin!" Number 234 jumped over 231 and threw her out of the ring.
Jeena and Kanashimi left the western planet and continued their journey to Earth. Kanashimi slept in the hanger bay, while Jeena tightly sat in the cockpit trying not to cry. Rugai, I hope you're still alive and your kind heart too. She tried her best not to cry her eyes out, but she ended up tearing up silently. Jeena remembered all the times her and Rugai would head off to her balcony and talked about anything. It made her smile a bit, then went back to silently crying. An hour passed, and Kanashimi entered and put her arm around her neck.
"You're a wuss. You'll never be a great warrior if you cry like an grulugian infant." Jeena got out of the headlock, turned her chair around and walked halfway to the door.
"So what. All you've been doing is using my healing techniques to furthur fuel your near death fights. I just want to get to Earth and live peacefully there." Before she could get to the door, Kanashimi stopped her.
"Hey i'm sorry ok. Why didn't you speak up all those times beforehand." Jeena turned around.
"YOU never gave me a word edgewise. All you've been doing is dragging me all over ANY planet we stop to refuel, so you can fight any strong fighters on it. Then you force me to heal you." Kanashimi let go, then sulked her head while Jeena exited the cockpit, and locked herself in her room.
Back on Earth...
The block 4 preliminaries finally concluded. Rugai, Amandor and Felx were honored to be in the finals. Tenchu lightly tapped Rugai's shoulder congratulating him. "Thanks. Although from what master said, once we reach the finals it'll be tougher."
"master said a lot of things. But somehow I get that same feeling too." Ferno stood behind them.
"It'll be tough, especially when one of you has to fight me." Ferno smiled a bit before walking off.
"Strange guy."
"Let him be. Besides, the most interesting match would be between you and me." Both of them smiled and clasped hands.
"Beginning at 8am tomorrow, All finalists must report to the main ring to draw lots. Dissmissed!" The announcer, and the rest of the referees, stayed on the stage and discussed tournament stuff.
The moment Rugai entered the hotel room, Deena lunged and hugged him tightly. "Oh Rugai, I'm so happy that you're back." Rugai wrapped his arms around her.
"Tenchu and Rugai. Keep a vigilant eye on the competition, there are surprises on everywhere." Both of them nodded. "Alright, both of you get as much sleep as you can. Tomorrow will be interesting for both of you." Rugai and Tenchu took to their beds, Bull left the room and headed off towards the nearest electronic store. Evelyn and Deena also left and headed towards the bath house.
Early the next day...
All twelve contestants were still half asleep and standing in the middle of the stage. The announcer stood between an official and a large whiteout board with brackets, holding a black marker. "All right guys, I know you're eager to get back to sleep, but we have to start this tournament soon. Or at least a couple of matches in, a storms approaching and it'll postpone any future matches. We'll start off with the Block 4 winners, first up Flex." Flex went up to the official, put his hand into the box, and pulled out a number. "You are number 2, wow first match right off the bat." The announcer wrote his name on the board. "Next up is Amandor." He did the same, and pulled out the number 12. "And lastly for the Block 4 finalist is...Rugai." Rugai did the same, and pulled out number 1. The announcer wrote it on the board.
"Alright. Now we'll get the Block 3 finalists. Sanfan, you're up." A very muscular woman, wearing white workout shorts, a white bikini top and black combat boots, put her man sized hands in the box and pulled out the number 3. The announcer got scared a bit before speaking again. "...Next up...is...T..?" The masked fighter just named T, stuck his hand in and pulled out number 11. "And lastly for Block 3, is Gorgoyle." And as others before him, he put his stone-like hand in and pulled out number 7.
"Lets keep the ball rolling. For Block 2, Tenchu." Tenchu did the same, and pulled out number 4. "Now Xerxes." Xerxes pulled out number 6. "And lastly, Courtney." She pulled out a nine. "And now the Block 1 finalists. Would Rook please come forth." Rook pulled out number 5. "Mr. Scythe, you're up." He pulled out number 8. "And the last number is 10, which goes to Vemp." The fighters started their way out of the ring, when it started to rain. "Finals will start tomorrow. All fighters report to the waiting room at 9 o'clock sharp."
Everyone returned to their respected rooms, and spent the day image training in a meditative state.
With the finals postponed until tomorrow, last minute training became manditory for everyone. Who is the mysterious T? And why is Scythe glad about his opponent. Will these two disrupt the tournament? Find out next time on Dragon Ball NA.
