The others left the stage as the two women were left up there on the stage staring at each other. Chi-Chi couldn't help but be wonder about this other woman.
She seemed to have some power but not a whole lot. She was absolutely sure that she had never met her, but her rage suggested otherwise. She dressed like a fangirl of Kakarrot, yet she noticed the curious look on Kakarot's face. Which suggested that he didn't know who this was either. He looked like he struggling to trying to remember her.
Mystery woman having seen Chi-Chi looking at Kakarrot was growling "You don't know how good you got it slut!"
The Announcer smacked his face thinking to himself 'Why do I even talk to these people? Time for more angry emails.'
Chi-Chi's eye twitched at that she growled out "Screw you."
The drums beat down and the Announcer yelled out into the mic "First Match Chi-Chi Versus Handled Trident. Begin fight!"
The mystery woman was quick to charge Chi-Chi. She seemed fueled by rage. Her technique was haphazard, unrefined she was self-taught by Chi-'Chi's reckoning. She put up a lot of punches that were quite easy to deflect. She kept going with her nails for Chi-Chi's throat. She seemed not to care a wink about the rules and was just trying to kill her.
Mystery woman yelled as she was attacking "If it wasn't for you, he wouldn't have been too busy to remember me. You hurt him; you bitch!" She said with a desperate gasp.
Chi-Chi used the outburst to knock her a way with a kick. The Mystery woman seemed to be unaware of how out classed she was in this fight. Chi-Chi wasn't even trying but she was far too busy in a blind rage.
"You really shouldn't be getting this worked up over that asshole. You should have more self-respect than that. I don't know what you think you owe him, but I guarantee you're wrong. Kakarrot's evil to the core and he will just use you like everyone else. It's all he does."
Kakarrot hearing this sort of nodded while thinking to himself "She'll not lying."
"You're wrong I owe him everything! He helped me get revenge for my father. He's a true hero unlike you."
Chi-Chi thought to herself 'Yeah a father he probably helped kill in the first place.'
Kakarrot hearing this exchange smacked his head "Oh that is who it is. Tanman, damn it's been awhile. Man, I've got to stop making promises to little girls and not really caring if I follow through on them."
"How many little girls did you make promises with?"
"Somewhere north of twenty I want to say."
"Awe that's my little heart breaker."
"Grandpa may have taught me most things uncle but your advice with women I always follow uncle."
"Awe the memories. Awe the army of X's I have, constantly howling for my blood. Sending me bombs, snakes and weaponized anthrax."
"Wait isn't Teal your son?"
"Yeah probably. I really hate condoms."
Chi-Chi said to Tanman "Alright I've heard enough."
Chi-Chi seemed to disappear only to reappear in front of Tanman and then with a single punch knocked her out of the ring. Tanman went falling backwards onto the grass.
"Handled Trident is out of Bound. The winner of the first match is Chi-Chi!"
Tanman looked both horrified and shock as the crowd began to clap and cheer. She ignored the hand that Chi-Chi had offered her. Tears filled her eyes; she ashamedly began to walk away.
When a whistle came from the stands that seemed to overpower the sounds of the crowd. It was from Kakarrot, who was grinning and gave Tanman a head bob that suggest she come up to him.
She nodded with great enthusiasm and came running up on to the stands and over to him. He gave a look to Chi-Chi as Tanman came to him like he was making some sort of statement. He grabbed her ass as she came to him.
Chi-Chi sneered and turn from that direction thinking to herself "I should have killed him that day. I feel sorry for her. She really is probably blind to what he really is."
Kakarrot asked her "Tell me did you learn all that on your own?"
Tanman now said with stars in her eyes "Yes I tried to remember everything you did to those soldiers but mostly I made it up."
"Well for just making it up you did pretty well. I bet if you had a teacher you could do much better. Would you like to sit with me?"
Tanman was giddy as she sat down next to Kakarrot. She wrapped her arms around his left arm and hugged that arm closely. His tail wrapped around her waist.
Bulma and Launch felt like gaging at that sight.
Bulma thought to herself 'Who would ever sleep with a monster that that?'
Launch meanwhile thought to herself 'Dumb bitch is in for a rude awaking I'm sure.'
Kakarrot thought to himself 'I bet this pissing Chi-Chi off something bad. Man am I good. Just wait, she's going to beg for more after a while. Might take a while after this day but she'll break just like they all do. Just like this world will break. I can see them all heiling now. Enjoy the world as you know it now folks because after today it won't exist anymore."
Chi-Chi made it to the side lines to the applause of her friends. She still felt guilt but they were making her feel better.
Krillin excitedly said to her "Well you showed that crazy lady the what for Cheech."
Yamcha asked her "Yeah I mean she looked like she wanted to kill you who was she?"
"I don't know. I don't think either her or I ever met."
"That proves she's crazy. Who can hate someone they haven't met?"
"Whoever she is she's quite chummy with Kakarrot." Tien said cringing while watching Tanman and Kakarrot make out blatantly and hard.
Chi-Chi looked quickly then turned her head back and said "Forget about that. You and Yamcha enjoy your match."
The two nodded with only Yamcha noticing that Chi-Chi seemed anxious to change the subject.
He thought to himself 'Why has Chi-Chi been so nervous today? It all stems from Kakarrot. Is she scared of him or is something else going on? It almost like she did something that she extremely regrets.'
Tien patted him on the shoulder. Taking Yamcha out of his thoughts and the two came out on to the stage.
Launch yells out at Tien "Show pretty boy the grass, three-for."
Bulma then yelled out "Go Yamcha! Show him what millions in RND can really do! Trunks is watching."
Both men gave their nods to the woman that maybe were more invested in this fight then they were.
Yamcha smiled and said "I guess this will decide which one of us gets to lose to Chi-Chi."
Tien chuckled at that "Maybe, so did you actually train or am I not going to break a sweat."
"I think my friend your about to find out."
The drums picked up and the Announcer said, "Second match Tien versus Yamcha!" The two got into stance and Announcer yelled "Begin fight!"
They faced off both trying to see a weakness in the other. The good friends then seemed to disappear only to reappear in the center of the stage. They punch at one another in a fury. But it was clear by the first punch who was at the disadvantage.
The match may have started out even enough, but Tien was starting to overpower Yamcha. Clearly Tien had put a lot more into his training than Yamcha who was on the defensive.
All of Yamcha punches were not having much of an affect while Tien's were chipping away at him. He was getting desperate as a result and in that desperation, he yelled out "Wolf fang fist!"
In amazing speed Yamcha smashed his fist into Tien's face and as he was reeling from that then deliver a punch to his gut. Tien gasped in pain as he was then leveled to the tile on one knee. As fast as he could Yamcha charge up shouting 'Kamehameha'.
Tien grabbed the blast, but it encapsulated him and pushed him back. There was a small explosion. Tien was laid out on the tile.
Yamcha was panting as he looked at his friend that he had just given everything he had at. He knew in the back of his mind what was coming, and it did. Tien slowly got to his feet. Yamcha's blows had hurt but they didn't stop him.
"Damn man. You're hard to put down."
"It was a dumb move for me to let you charge up. I promise you I won't give you a second chance."
Yamcha sarcastically then asked, "Funny who said you let me charge up?"
Tien cockily said, "I did."
Tien then went on the offensive. Yamcha tried to block and counter them but was quickly overwhelmed. He was being driven back and to the edge of the ring. He had to do something. He tried sideswiping Tien but instead found his ass hitting the grass instead. Yamcha had left himself open to try the attack and Tien had exploited it.
"Yamcha has been knocked out of bounds. The winner of the second match is Tien! We will now take a few minutes to repair the ring."
Tien in a smiled reached his hand down towards Yamcha and asked, "No hard feelings?"
Yamcha then smiled "No hard feelings man. I may have been a little busy these last few years. I kind of knew this was going to happen."
Tien pulled him up "Yeah shit happens man."
The two laughed as the crowd seems to enjoy their comradery. Bulma sighs in disappointment as Launch while holding her baby attempted to do a dance sitting down. It mostly just involved her feet moving her around with shoulders bobbing up and down.
Tien and Yamcha made it to the sidelines as Piccolo floats up and hovers over to the stage. His moccasins land on the tile as Hercule comes out. He makes some sort of guttural roar when he got to his mark. Which seemed to get the crowd going.
Hercule points at Piccolo. Piccolo who looked aggravated by the everything of his opponent grit his teeth.
Screaming Hercule says to him "Hey Big Green." Piccolo cringes at that nickname. "My name is Hercule Satan. The future world martial arts champion. Here to lay you out and make you cry for mommy. So, prepare to feel the Pain!" The crowd cheers in excitement.
Kakarrot said to Green with Tanman listening "If Piccolo kills this guy. Our little surprise will be ruined."
Green said back to him "True but you can't ask him not to do it. I mean come on."
"Yeah but it would be really annoying."
Tanman in curious asked "What surprise?"
Kakarrot panted her on the head "Nothing you need to worry you pretty little head over. Just sit here and look beautiful for me okay."
The drums sounded and the Announcer yelled "Third match The Prince versus Mr. Satan! Begin fight!"
In a howl Hercule charged at Piccolo and punched at him only to find that Piccolo wasn't moving. Hercule with all his strength punched repeatedly at Piccolo's chest only to find his hand was broken.
Piccolo annoyed asked "Is that all the power you can muster?" From his folded arms emerges a finger that points up to the sky. It glows and then a beam comes from it, which jets out into the heavens. It explodes in a dazzling light show. Its force being felt by all who were present.
Piccolo then said to him in a dark voice "You are nothing, nothing at all little man. A rat amongst tigers. Your world is about to crumble. To be replaced by one in utter darkness. Run little man if you wish to live. Run and hide like the scurrying rat that you are. Flee to whatever rock you can hide under because if you don't everyone you have ever cared about will be ripped apart in front of your eyes while you watch."
Hercule was blue in the face. He turned from Piccolo then ran off the stage. To the massive disappoint of the crowd who were yelling obscenities at him.
"Mr. Satan has run out of the ring. The Prince is the winner of the third match.
Kakarrot laughed at this craven act and Chi-Chi grinned taking just a bit of pleasure at that man's suffering.
Hercule however took out his phone while he was running. He yelled into it "Miguel honey pack up our things were running that man with the eye patch from UNIT was right!" There was a response back. "Listen honey you don't understand! The end of the world is coming, and we're going need head for the hills if we're going to survive." He hung up and was soon out of the stadium. Hailing a cab as soon as he could.
Krillin stepped forward. While Hero almost tripped on his shoe lances as he stepped forward.
"Go out and get them Krillin." He blushed at Chi-Chi's words as he came out to the stage along with Hero. The group in the stands cheered.
"It seems like you're really popular."
"Yeah I guess so. You know I won't be that hard on you old man. I don't know how you made it to the first round, but I will gentle."
Hero grinned at him and said "Oh thank you so much young man. I'm glad you're going to be so generous with an old man like me. It much appreciated even though you might regret that decision shortly."
Krillin smiled at him and said, "Whatever you say old man."
Krillin thought to himself 'I'll just give him a tap and carry him out of the ring.'
"The next match is Krillin versus Hero." The drums picked up. "Begin fight!"
Krillin immediately charged at Hero intending to give a little punch and push him out. But as Krillin came unguarded mind you toward Hero he found the old man had cowered in just the right way that in the moment of truth Krillin struck empty air. Hero then bobbed his head upwards so that the airborne Krillin got a head-butt to the chin.
The head-butt hurt and Krillin went reeling back as he yelped in pain.
Piccolo, Chi-Chi, Roshi and Kakarrot were then all a bit surprised and on guard.
Piccolo thought to himself 'What was that?'
Chi-Chi thought to herself 'How did that hurt Krillin so much?'
Roshi thought to himself 'Those movement were no accident.'
Kakarrot thought to himself 'Great another fly in the ointment.'
Hero looked at the pained Krillin and asked, "Are you okay son?"
The crowd burst out into laughter oblivious to the reality.
Krillin cheeks became red in frustration as he looked in anger at Hero and asked, "How did you do that?"
"What?"
Krillin thought to himself 'Something wrong. That wasn't luck or chance.'
Yamcha laughed at that "Man I feel sorry for Krillin. That's some bad luck."
Chi-Chi said to him "That wasn't luck."
Tien nodded in agreement.
Yamcha asked her "What?"
This time at fully force Krillin charged at Hero who then began to simply dodge all of Krillin's punches. The crowd shut up as they were then stunned as both Hero and Krillin took to the air.
Krillin kept hitting air while the taps that came from Hero seemed to all hurt. Krillin pushed away from Hero and landed on the tile.
Krillin looked up at him "Okay so you're not exactly what you appear to be."
"Didn't your master ever tell you, to not judge a book by its cover? You really rely too much on your eyes."
Piccolo sneered and thought 'I know that condescending holier than though tone anywhere. So, Kami thinks he can interfere with my revenge huh? It will be a pleasure to beat him into a coma.'
Chi-Chi thought to herself 'Oh no. Why didn't you trust me Kami? I didn't even do that until after registration. This must have been his plan all along.'
"Well the act is over, and I guess that means no holding back." He shouted out the words 'Kamehameha' and sent the wave at Hero how then promptly sliced throw the wave like it was nothing.
Hero then came at Krillin throw the wave. Forcing Krillin to stop him attack. He tried to defend himself but was soon overwhelmed. He was on the defensive as he was pushed back to the edge of the ring.
Ferociously Krilin tried to fight his way back but it was clear that he had lost the match. With only a tap to his head Krillin was sent onto the grass and the match was over.
"Krillin is out of bounds. Hero is the winner of the fourth match. The first round of the World Martial Arts Tournament is now over. We will now pause for an intermission before the second round begins."
Hero's hand reaches out for Krillin who seems at first in shock but then gladly takes his hand.
"Oh man, oh man you pack a wallop." He was picked up by Hero.
"You think? I was starting think that age was starting to affect me. True is despite this form I'm kind of a lot older than I seem."
"What like eighty?"
"Uh more like three hundred and change."
"What!?"
"It's a long story friend."
Launch was grinning and said "Well the next match is going one badass fight. My Tien wins that fight he wins the Tournament."
"Like Tien stands a chance against my home girl. She already beat him in the final round last time around."
"My baby daddy has been working his ass off the last three years just for this moment. There ain't no way he's going to lose.
Kakarrot sighed at that last fight then he said "Well that was underwhelming. Hey Tanman if you accompany to the bathroom. I'll show you a taste of some of what to come."
She nodded quickly and looked ecstatic. "I'd love to."
He said to Green "See you at the concessions Uncle."
Chi-Chi approached Hero and she said to him "We need to talk master."
Hero frowned at her and said "I suppose we do. About a great many things."
