Chapter 72: Universe 7's Ten Selective Members!!
We all began to eat our dinner as I said out loud; "Oh man, this is delicious! I really needed this. I haven't eaten anything since the fight ended."
"Sorry to interrupt, but perhaps we should select our team first?" Kaio-Shin said.
"Yeah, but I already know who should be on our team." I said.
"You do?" Kaio-Shin questioned in surprise.
"Yeah. It's going to be Me, Kin, Danuja, Akihiko, Tsuki, Luck, Drake, Gochi, and Hikaru." I said. "However, that's only 9 team members. We need at least one more team member."
"Well, we still have some time to figure it out." Whis said. "So I see no need to force a decision right away."
"Indeed- That's a good point." Kaio-Shin said. "And there still could be people on other worlds with high combat capabilities. We should explore that."
"Yeah but you won't have any time because you still don't know anything." Dad said as Kaio-Shin chuckled nervously.
"On the other hand, we have one more day left to find our last member." Dad said. "It also gives you enough time to train and spend time with your loved ones."
"I suggest you use this time wisely." Dad said.
"Thanks Dad." I replied.
For the rest of the day, we all trained together and spent time with our girlfriends. While spending our time wisely like Dad said, the hunt to find the last warriors continues.
But the Tournament is now 34 hours away…
Me and the gang fought in our strongest forms and pushed each other to our limits and beyond that for training for the Tournament of Power. After that, Dad healed us back to full strength and we spent some more time with our girlfriends.
We repeated this method of preparation every 3 hours. Thanks to our schedule, our preparations for the Tournament are proceeding quickly even though we still need one more fighter for our team.
We have now 8 hours and 30 minutes away from the start of the Tournament of power.
Luck. Drake. Akihiko. Kin. Danuja. Son Gochi. Tsuki. Plus, Me and Hikaru.
We are nine of the mightiest warriors in Universe 7 with one more member missing.
We took a break from training and spent time with our loved ones until I jumped to my feet and said out loud; "That's it! I know who's our last member!".
"Huh?" everyone questioned in surprise.
"Snow, the third son of Frieza, should be our last teammate!" I said.
"S-Snow?!" Everyone shouted out in surprise.
Everyone couldn't believe their ears. No one was expected to hear that name uttered for their team's tenth and final spot!
The real question was, will Snow actually make a common cause with me and the others to defend the Universe his family once ruled as Emperor?
Only 4 hours remain until the Tournament of Power begins.
"Wh…What's wrong with you?!" Hikaru yelled at me. "Oh, come on! Are you really proposing after everything he and his family did to us?!".
"That's exactly what I'm proposing!" I said. "Well, sort of, 'cause I'm not planning on inviting his entire family. Just him."
"No way! This plan is ridiculous!" Kaio-Shin said. "I see no wisdom in this place, Tatsuya! Do you honestly believe that Frieza would allow his son, Snow, to join our team and help us?".
"Well, they do always think of themselves, so I'm sure they wouldn't want the universe to be destroyed." I said. "Especially if their whole empire will be wiped out from existence if we lose. There's no other option."
"It's not like you to act this pitifully desperate, Tatsuya." Hikaru said. "Usually you'd be confident in your strength. Get some weakling for that spot! We'll win this ourselves!".
"Excuse me, Whis?" I asked him.
"Yes?" He replied.
"Do you think the Seventh Universe could win the Tournament as we are now?" I asked.
"That's a good question, Tatsuya. I confess I don't know enough about all the other universes to answer." He said. "Although, I have heard rumors that one of the other universes has produced mortals so strong even their own Destroyer can't defeat them. And lest you get the wrong idea, this Destroyer in question is even stronger than Lord Beerus."
Whis began to laugh as Beerus said; "You talk too much. I lost a single arm-wrestling match, it means nothing."
"If that's true, then we do need Snow…" Hansel said.
"That's the spirit, Hansel!" I said. "We'll be just fine! Even if Snow does turn on us, we'll handle it. Me and Hikaru will take him down. Right?".
Bruce looked away as I turned to my Dad and said; "You know where Frieza and his Family are, right? Can you take me to him?".
"Sure." Dad said with a smile before he teleported us on Frieza's Ship.
Frieza was surprised to see us on his Spaceship and asked my Dad why we were here. Dad told Frieza everything while me and Frieza's sons stared aggressively at each other.
"Oh my. Another Tournament of power?" Frieza said. "And you want Snow to join your little team? How very interesting."
"So you in?" Dad asked.
"Well, it all depends on if my son wants to do this." Frieza said. "Though I do hope so. The Tournament of power did make me stronger than I was before. So I'm hoping Snow would say yes to this."
"Very well then. If my father has joined this Tournament twice and became stronger, I'll be happy to join you on your team." Snow said. "But on one condition, before we go fight in this "Tournament of Power", I want a rematch with you, Tatsuya Hitoshi! A One-on-One Rematch!".
I smirked out of excitement and said; "That's fine by me! Once we get back on earth, we can fight at full strength!".
I successfully recruited the son of Frieza, to complete my team.
2 hours remain until the Tournament of Power begins…
Me and Dad teleported back to Earth as Frieza and Snow decided to fly to earth on their spaceship which will take 15 minutes. Me and the others had 5 big meals while we waited for Snow to arrive.
"Well, don't keep us in suspense. How did things go with snow?" Danuja said.
"Oh yeah! He's on board." I said.
"I'm surprised that Power-mad villain actually agreed to join us." Hikaru said.
"Uh. Yeah, me, too." I said. "Well, he should be here any minute now."
"You're hiding something. I just know it!" Danuja said.
"Tatsuya. We always know when you're lying." Hikaru said before he slammed his fist down on the table. "So out with it, Tatsuya!".
"Okay. Don't get mad at me, but I promised to fight Snow again once he gets here. That was our deal." I said.
"You moron! How much of a Fighting nut do you have to be?!" Hikaru yelled at me.
"Lay off me, Hikaru! You're just as bad as I am!" I said.
"It's the best move he could make." Whis said.
"Um, thank you!" I said.
After I said that, snow arrived.
Snow jumped out of the spaceship and went Golden as I walked outside and transformed into my Super Saiyan Blue From.
We jumped into the air and began fighting. Me and Snow fought for 30 minutes straight. After that, it was time to go.
We went back down to UA and Whis healed us back to full strength as well as giving me a new set of my Martial Arts Gi. With Snow filling the missing position, the Seventh Universe team is now complete, and not a moment too soon.
As the eight competing universes finalize their strategies and preparations, the Tournament of Power, which will determine each of their fates, is set to begin at last.
"Okay, now that we're all ready, I'd like everyone to make a circle and hold hands." Whis said.
We formed a circle and held hands as Whis said; "Greetings, Grand Priest. The Warriors of Universe 7 are assembled and ready to go!".
"Stand by, please." we all heard the grand priest say.
"Before we go, I have something to say and don't worry, I'll make it quick." I said. "Everyone. I know some here haven't always been Allies, but to win this tournament, we'll have to fight as a team! So let's do our best and give it our all!".
"Right!" Everyone said.
"Good luck, you guys!" Izuki said to us.
"We're counting on you!" Class 1-A said in Unison.
We all smiled and looked at them before we left for the Null Realm. The fate of the entire universe rests on our shoulders. I haven't felt this excited since I fought against All For One and his mysterious power…
"Don't worry, everyone, we'll win this! ", I thought. "Leave it to us to win this! We will emerge victorious! Believe it! ".
End of Chapter 72.
