Chapter 24: Ize Versus Hikaru Tanaka
"Well, Well. You might be a real challenge for me after all!" Ize said before he unleashed his chi. "But that doesn't mean you'll beat me!".
"We'll see about that, won't we?" Hikaru said as he took a stance.
Ize became irritated as he too, took a stance. Hikaru dashed towards Ize and immediately began to push him back as they began to exchange blows. They exchange blows until Hikaru guts Ize with an upper-punch and pushes him back with a ki blast.
Ize stopped himself and began rapidly firing a barrage of Ki blasts at Hikaru as he deflected them all away and fired off his Galick Gun at Ize, who took it head-on. Ize blew away the smokescreen with a roar and he unleashed half of his power. Hikaru unleashed half of his power, he dashed towards Ize, and went back to pushing him back as they went back to exchanging blows. Hikaru continued to push Ize back as they exchanged blows until Hikaru landed a High Knee-Kick and sent Ize flying with his Galick Gun technique at close range.
"W-Wow!... Hikaru is amazing!" Akihiko said in surprise. "He's actually overwhelming that guy like it's nothing!".
"Whatever training he went through, it really made him powerful…" Tsuki said. "But he's taking this situation seriously enough that he doesn't want to let any of us down…".
"It looks like your training paid off, Dad!" I said cheerfully, continuing to watch Hikaru fight against Ize. "Hikaru is holding his own against Ize even though they're both fighting at half-strength."
"True, but he should be even stronger in his Demon Form." Dad said. "But first, let us see what he can do all by himself…".
Hikaru chases after Ize, Hikaru gut punches Ize, he lands an uppercut, he sends Ize flying with a back-handed punch, he chases after Ize, he lands a few kicks on Ize, he appeared behind Ize, Hikaru sends Ize flying up into the air with a high-kick, and then fires off his Heat Dome Attack at Ize.
Ize falls onto the ground, he quickly powers up before he dashed towards Bruce, they exchanged blows, Hikaru grabbed both of Ize's shoulders, Hikaru guts Ize with a Knee-Kick, and then pushes Ize back with a Ki Blast Cannon. Ize dashed towards Hikaru again and they began to exchange blows again. They exchange blows until Hikaru lands a High Knee-Kick, he sends Ize flying up with a high-kick, Hikaru appears above Ize, and knocks him down with a Double Ax Handle.
"Hikaru is doing well on his own." I said. "And he's still using half of his Full Strength. It's actually quite impressive!".
"Indeed. Though, I believe he's going to use his Full power now." Dad says.
"How come?" I asked.
Dad points at the fight as Ize stands back up and unleashes his Full Power out of rage. Hikaru unleashes his Full Power and takes a stance as Ize takes a stance as well. They dashed towards each other and began to exchange blows.
They exchanged blows until Hikaru landed two punches, pushed Ize back with a kick, and then fired off his Final Flash technique at Ize as he shouted; "Final… Flash!!".
Ize took it head-on, he blew the smokescreen with a roar, and then glared at Hikaru ferociously.
"What's wrong, Ize?" Hikaru asked with a smile on his face. "You seem to be a little bit… Frustrated."
Ize smirked. "Heh… Just because you had the upperhand in our fight, doesn't mean you won this fight already!".
"Oh, but on the contrary, I only won this round!" Hikaru said.
"This round?" Ize questioned in confusion.
"Yes, this round." Hikaru said. "I can tell you're holding back. I mean, your brothers had another form or I assumed you had one too."
"You're right. I do have another Form. My Final Form!" Ize said, beginning to smile. "Allow me to show you my true Form!".
Ize immediately transformed into his Final Form, he dashed towards Hikaru, Ize grabbed Hikaru's face, he slammed Hikaru's head onto the ground, he dragged his head on the ground, and then Ize threw Hikaru into a Cliff.
Ize began to shoot a barrage of Ki blasts at Hikaru who was stuck in the cliff. Ize then fires off a Full Power Energy Wave as Hikaru, who was still stuck in the cliff, takes it head-on as he finally gets unstuck from the cliff.
Hikaru gets back up and says; "Ok, Ow. That hurts. I think I've underestimated the power of his Final Form…".
Ize appeared in front of Hikaru, Ize smashed Hikaru into the cliff with a few punches, Ize grabbed Hikaru by the face again, and then threw Hikaru across the ground. Ize appears in front of Hikaru, Ize picks him up, and begins to gut Hikaru numerous times with a punch. Ize then began to lift Hikaru up with his tail while continuing to gut Hikaru numerous times with more punches. Ize lets go of Hikaru, Ize sends him flying up into the air with a high-kick, Ize appears above Hikaru, and knocks him down with a Double Ax Handle.
Hikaru gets back up and spits out blood as Ize says; "Aw, Come on, Kid! Don't tell me that's all you got! And I was just getting started too!".
Hikaru stood up straight, he wiped the blood off from his mouth, and then smirked as he said; "Oh, Don't worry. I was getting started too! I am holding back a transformation too, you know!".
"You What?!" Ize shouted out in surprise.
"Hah!" Hikaru shouted out as he unleashed an Orange Spiritual Power and began to power up. "Haaaaaa!!! HA!!!!!".
Everyone was surprised to see Hikaru's Demon Form, especially the Frieza Family who were all seeing Hikaru's Form for the first time.
"Well, What do you know… He did become a lot stronger in his Demon Form!" I said, keeping my calm composure.
"Now then! Shall we get started, Ize?" Hikaru said with a smirk on his face.
End of Chapter 24.
