"How's my annoying brother's best pupil?" Dealla rubbed Jazz's hair roughly after pulling him into a rough bearhug.
"I'm doing well, can't complain." Jazz pulled out from her rough treatment.
"So…" Warrick looked up with distaste, "that's the great Master Roshi?" he sighed.
"You can tell?" Jazz asked.
"You can't fool a wolf's nose." Warrick smirked, "he gave me one of my many scars 30 years ago when I was a young idiot high on power and rage."
"That was a time…" Dealla giggled.
"Huh…" Jazz muttered, "well, that's neat and all, but why are you guys here? I thought you weren't interested in the Budokai Tenkaichi?"
"Well, we aren't." Ebizu replied, "but Warrick was so insistent on seeing you fight in the 21st, and Dealla wouldn't stop bothering Pongitsune and Pandanuki, so they asked me to babysit."
"I remember a certain water yokai telling the head of the school that it was important for them to check on a student's behavior after graduation, if only for the sanctity of public morals." Dealla chuckled, causing Ebizu to glare at the noble wolf woman.
"Public morals…" Jazz chuckled ruefully, "I see, so how did I do?" he asked jokingly.
"Surprisingly well." Warrick announced, "your use of transformations was both shocking and astounding, watching as you moved between forms and fought quite well between them."
"I personally enjoyed that twisted thin man with finger claws," Dealla said with a smirk. She mimicked the voice and unsheathed her claws, "you're in for a bad time now…" This lead Jazz to chortle in humor.
"So…" Warrick asked, more serious this time, "have you transformed yet?"
Jazz shook his head. "It's not that I don't want to, I just want to save as many tricks up my sleeve before going all out."
"About Goku, right?" Warrick asked wryly.
Jazz nodded, smiling, "I lost my last fight badly, this time, I kinda wanna at least compete."
"That's understandable, having a rival is conducive to one's growth, regardless of the battle's finish, I will be proud of you."
"You haven't even won the fight against that girl though," Dealla stated pointedly, "don't look to the future prematurely."
"Pft, he'll be fine, that girl relies on her tools to fight, without them, she's neutered."
"She was my first teacher." Jazz said, "so she has an advantage based on my general fighting style and tendencies, and she's seen me fight several times. She's even controlled me once with Jiang Shi puppetry."
This caused the yokai to pause and turn to Jazz.
"What?" Dealla aked. "Is that true?"
"Uh… yeah…" Jazz replied, "why? is… is something wrong."
Ebizu was about to say something, but Dealla covered her mouth. "NOPE! Nothing is wrong, get ready for your fight." She had a big shit-eating grin on her face.
"Now I know something's up." Jazz retorted.
"Nope, I don't care, you won't get an answer from me Jazz, might as well get ready for your fight, this one between that pervy old man and the orange-haired chick is over."
Jazz turned to see Ran Fan literally leap out of the arena, and Roshi snapping his fingers in disappointment.
...
"ERR… AFTER AN UNORTHODOX DISPLAY OF EVASIVE SKILLS FROM RAN FAN, IT LOOKS LIKE SHE… COULDN'T… UMM… TAKE THE HEAT! Y-YEAH! TAKE THE HEAT! IT LOOKS LIKE JACKIE CHUN IS THE WINNER!"
No one cheered for the old man. The arena was silent enough that you could hear a man coughing in the corner.
"WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY! THE NEXT FIGHT WILL BE BETWEEN PAOPAO AND JAZZ! WILL THE HOPE OF THE TSUKIMI DECLARE HER PRESENCE WITH A DECISIVE VICTORY? OR DOES THE MYSTERIOUS YOUTH HAVE ENOUGH SECRETS UP THE BAG TO SCORE THIS WIN? FIND OUT NOW!"
Jazz and PaoPao got up unto the arena. As the gong sounded, Jazz began with a short bow, which PaoPao mirrored with unemotional efficacy.
"PaoPao…" Jazz began.
"What." She replied curtly, then she smiled. "If you wish to ask about applying to join my clan, we accept all applications and sift through newcomers fairly, be warned however, there is a strong vetting process, liars and deceivers aren't very welcome amongst my ranks."
Jazz swallowed the retort he was about to send back. "Can we talk after this is all over, please?"
PaoPao felt like snapping at him, but the look in his eyes caused her to pause and mull over his words. It was true that he had trusted her enough to allow her to control him with Jiang Shi puppetry, but that didn't take away his evasiveness with his true nature, and his explanation did little to help. If he was lying, it was an insulting, unbelievable lie that bordered on the cruel, it was an insult both to PaoPao's intelligence and integrity. However, if it was the truth, it might even be worse, just contemplating it made PaoPao's feelings of inadequacy crop up again. She had worked hard to overcome her feelings of worthlessness and being informed that her entire universe was not only a lie, but in fact, a children's storybook was a damning truth, made worse by the fact he so flippantly mentioned that she was never in the story. Did that mean her life was worth less than ink on a page? That her existence is merely an afterthought?" She sighed, closing her eyes and calming herself, despite the gong sounding, neither party had pressed the attack, and the crowd was beginning to murmur.
"Fine." PaoPao snapped her eyes open, "I'll talk to you after the 21st Martial Arts Tournament ends."
Jazz smiled with relief, "tha-" He dodged out of the way of a thin beam of ki.
PaoPao smirked as she pulled back her finger. "Don Don ray, but I'm sure you've already heard of such a thing."
Jazz sighed. "I... am aware."
...
Jackie Chun stared in shock. "I see…" He muttered.
"Old guy?" Goku asked curiously. Jackie Chun, after his victory, had walked off to speak to Nam, and Yamcha chased after the old man, now the latter two returned.
"The Don Don Ray is the coveted skill of the Crane School, it concentrates ki into a powerful, thin line, surpassing the Kamehameha in penetrative power. But it's a merciless technique, lethal and cruel, much like the school itself."
"Why would she use such a technique of Jazz?" Chi-Chi asked, worried.
"Well, they were talking for a bit." Krillin said, "maybe she wants Jazz to start acting seriously."
Krillin was not off the mark as PaoPao cocked her head.
"You're planning something, aren't you?"
Jazz smirked, "you first."
"How about we start… together?"
"Well… if the noble hope of the Tsukimi so desires, who is this waif to resist?" Jazz removed his weights and harness, then exploded into a cloud of smoke.
"ALREADY IT LOOKS LIKE JASPER WANTS TO START THIS FIGHT WITH A BANG, WE'VE SEEN MANY CREATIVE FORMS, WHAT WILL HE BECOME THIS TIME?!"
PaoPao clenched her fist and prepared to fight whatever Jazz would become, but blinked in surprise at what she saw.
"I… I'M SPEECHLESS…"
"It's… it's so pretty…" Chi-Chi whispered.
Most others viewed the form Jazz had taken with a great level of speechlessness, fear, awe, wonder, or all of the above, some even fell to their knees, as if preparing to bow down to the being before them. Silver dust trailed from the beat of its wings.
"I wanted to start off slow…" Jazz said, "But you insisted, so I must oblige." The form Jazz took was a form he had been working on for a long time, researching various plants and animals in order to perfect the creature. It was covered in pure white scales that reflected the light in such a way that the creature gave off a soft glow. It was basically a dragon, the body was long and snake-like, resembling an eastern lung dragon, like Shenron, it had four legs that ended in long fingers and claws like a Komodo Dragon. Its head was angular, the general shape was more deer-like than anything else, but parts of its face and snout resembled multiple other creatures, a lion, a jaguar, a crocodile, an owl, and a hawk, the different traits intermixed together to give the being an almost gentle-looking appearance. From its chin, long feathers billowed, like the beard of a wise elder, and long, white whiskers that swayed gently, as if they had a mind of their own, even now, a few pointed towards PaoPao, causing her to step back. A coat of white feathers, wreathed around its head and lining down its back as a mix of a lion's then a horse's mane decorated the dragon, adding to its mystical appearance, but that wasn't the most unique thing about its form. Six massive wings sprouted from its back, massive, intricate musculature originating from just bast its shoulders, the middle of its long body, and finally a little before its hind legs. Long, sweeping horns elegantly swooped from behind the creature's skull, angling towards his face and protecting it in a similar way to the grills of a football helmet. The wings beat in an odd rhythm, but due to their efforts, the dragon was currently hovering in the air gently. "Alright PaoPao, I've pulled out my card…" His voice was sing-songey.
PaoPao grinned nervously but raised her hand. Ki began to dance on her fingertips, forming the runes of a talisman. She attached it to her forehead, and Jazz watched as her ki spiked up similarly to when he used Pump Up.
"Interesting." That was all he let out as PaoPao rushed the air towards his face. Uncoiling his 40-foot long body he undulated, allowing PaoPao to pass right through his loops, he flinched as he felt a biting pain, turning to see that she had gathered ki into her palm, forming a small dagger, which she used to slice into his skin like butter.
"AMAZING! DESPITE FIGHTER JASPER'S INTIMIDATING NEW FORM, PAOPAO SEEMS UNAFRAID!"
PaoPao turned around immediately, charging towards the dragon's head. Jazz opened his mouth, revealing a row of vicious teeth and massive viper fangs. His feather's fluffed and stood on end and he released a vicious hiss and rumble akin to that of a crocodile mixed with a lion's deep roar. The sound caused PaoPao to flinch, ever so slightly, giving Jazz the time to move back and unleash his first attack. PaoPao narrowed her eyes as the dragon's fangs folded inwards, and watched as a liquid was sprayed out of them, the liquid headed towards her with rapid speeds, and before her eyes as soon as it left his mouth, the liquid burst into a rapid jet of flames. PaoPao rushed to the side to dodge the attack, eyes widening in shock. At the same time, Jazz closed his mouth with an audible click and twirled in the air towards her. "Benzoquinone is a combustive biosynthetic chemical produced by many insects, the most famous use is by the bombardier beetle, which shoots out the stuff as a caustic, flammable explosion. On the other hand, the spitting cobra has the ability to shoot out venom from its fangs, the venom is stinging and quite painful, messing with the chemical cocktail of both just a bit allows me to produce a super combustible compound, of course, it takes a lot of calories to make this thing."
She dived down to miss his swipe and raised her ki dagger to cut him. A shiver crawled up her spine however and she flew up in the air, barely dodging his next attack. Using his long flexible body, he had repositioned himself behind her even as she aimed for his flank, she had little time to contemplate his movements as the smell of ozone filled the air. A burst of electricity flared out, catching her and launching her to the ground. The smell of burnt clothes, skin, and hair filled the air as she twitched with pain.
"Electrophorus Electricus, or, the electric eel, is cable of producing voltages in the water of up to 860 volts. They use special organs called electrocytes in order to induce the negative charge, and an electric eel with a body length of 6 to 8 feet has about 6000 of these electrocytes in its body. On the other hand, an electric ray, of 1 to 6 feet, which can produce only 220 volts, has only 700 electrocytes in its body. I've combined best of both worlds, and along my entire body electrocytes run, efficient like the electric ray, but numerous like the eel, guess how many I have." He said, amused as he pulled back his fangs. A blast of chemical fire blasted from his mouth once again.
PaoPao, still stunned, was unable to dodge fully in time, she leapt out of the flames but winced in pain. PaoPao wrote another rune, cringing as her skin tore from the pain of the electrical burn, a force strong enough to kill a normal man.
"WHAT CRUEL POWER! JAZZ IS TRULY NOT LETTING UP! THIS TRANSFORMATION IS OTHERWORLDLY! AND YOU'RE SEEING IT HERE FOLKS, IN PERSON! CAN PAOPAO MAKE IT?! OR IS IT OVER?!"
Applying ki to the rune, PaoPao generated a shield, then with a second run, jammed her ki dagger in, creating a wave of ki in the shape of multiple crescent slashes. The slashes cut through Jazz's flames like knives through butter and bit into his skin like ravenous dogs. Rivulets of hot blood splashed the arena floor as the dragon's bestial roars filled the arena, the dragon began to falter, falling from the sky and towards the arena.
PaoPao charged a ki blast, aiming directly for Jazz's head. "HA!" She shouted, launching a magenta aura forward.
Jazz opened his eyes, coiling his body to avoid the blast, though it clipped his left wings, causing an imbalance in his flight. At the same time, however, PaoPao narrowed her eyes as she saw him bulk up just slightly, the dragon's long neck bulged as if it filled with something, Pao Pao added strength to her shield, prepared to take whatever Jazz launched her way.
"I didn't tell you yet, did I? The electric eel's electrocytes are concentrated in specialized organs, same for an electric ray, I lined my entire body with them. An eel has 6000 and I have over 4.8 million." He opened his mouth as a mix of flames, ki, and electricity gathered together, binding faster and faster, tighter and tighter, soon, the combustible liquid joined the mix, and the cocktail of biological and supernatural powers. "Thunder Fire Flash!" He roared as a golden blast of ki, flames, and electricity arced out of his mouth and a straight beam towards PaoPao.
"Ki sword wave!" She shouted, creating several runes and launching dozens of sword waves into the blast. The blades cut through the blast to slash into Jazz again, but this time, several exploded before contacting his skin as electricity literally leaped from his scales to counter the energy coming his way. On the other hand, his blast was so concentrated that even after the blades cut into it, it still struck its target, her shield. She roared with effort, concentrating all her energy into her rapidly depleting shield, wincing as she felt Jazz redouble his efforts and add more ki and magic fire into the blast.
"WHAT A CLASH! LIKE A BATTLE BETWEEN A POWERFUL SWORD MAIDEN AND A DIVINE BEAST! HOW WILL IT END?! WILL PAOPAO'S SHIELD HOLD TRUE? OR WILL JASPER'S OVERWHELMING SHOW LEAVE HIM THE ULTIMATE VICTOR?!"
PaoPao felt her ki dwindle as the shield cracked, then ultimately shattered, but instead of destroying her, she felt the flames rejuvenate her body.
"...What?!" She shouted in shock, watching as Jazz's dragon form landed heavily on the ground. It was wreathed in flames as well, the flames beginning to heal its body.
"I...cannot use the magic fire to harm at the same time I use my flames of renewal to heal myself." He smiled wryly and disappeared in a puff of smoke, revealing the normal Jazz, breathing hard. "That blade attack of yours sliced into my neck and I would have bled out and died." He shook his head and cracked his knuckles.
"IT LOOKS LIKE THE TWO OF THEM HAVE EXHAUSTED EACH OTHER! IS THIS THE FINAL CLASH FOLKS?!"
The two of them got into a fighting style. The air tensed as Jazz's body bulked slightly as he activated Pump Up.
PaoPao started by launching her knife rapidly at the boy. Jazz deflected the blow with a short, wide ki blast, then he returned the favor by making a finger gun at PaoPao and shouting, "Bang! Bang!" Two small bullets of ki launched towards PaoPao, too fast for her to move her body fully out of the way, she blocked the first with her wrist, and the second struck her torso, causing her to groan in pain. Jazz fired four more of the bullets, but PaoPao was ready, dodging left then leaping into the air and flying towards Jazz, her palm flowed with ki.
Jazz charged his arm with ki to meet her strike, then pulled back his hand just as she chopped a finger off.
"You lack the ability to just copy me Jazz." PaoPao announced, "this technique takes more than just gathering ki into your hand."
"Duly noted," Jazz rolled back, avoiding her swipes and grabbing his finger. She kicked him hard in the chest, sending him flying out of the arena.
"FLAMES OF RENEWAL!" Jazz screamed out and the flames burst out of his body in a circular pattern, the force knocked the people he was about to crash into away and launched him back into the arena with its concussive force. The people caught in his flames felt themselves in a panic, then began to murmur in confusion, they were unharmed, and at the same time, many of them who had been suffering from minor injuries and ailments felt better.
Jazz landed unsteadily back in the arena.
"No more transformations Jazz?" PaoPao asked. Jazz didn't answer, instead, he transformed into a cheetah, bursting forward with ki empowered acceleration then changed into a tiger mid pounce.
Time seemed to slow as PaoPao's ki dagger approached his face, but his quick paws caught her wrist, knocking her striking arm away. He bit PaoPao in the shoulder, then immediately felt a ki blast strike his stomach and knock him away. He landed hard, coughing blood.
"IS THIS IS?! NO! JASPER IS GETTING UP?! THIS IS GETTING INTENSE FOLKS!"
PaoPao wrote another rune, "Jazz, I respect you as a fighter."
"Uh… thanks." Jazz replied.
"So because of that, I'll let you in on a little secret." She smiled, "look around the corners."
Jazz turned to see several runes on each corner of the room. "Oh… huh."
"Ever since that night in Devil's Island, I studied my family's talismans and focused more and more efforts into my witchcraft. Eventually, I discovered a special shield, created and fueled by the ki used by fighters in a given set of time."
"Oh… oh wow that's kinda unfair." Jazz replied.
"Pft… says the literal dragon."
"Hey, I read books for that!"
"So did I." PaoPao placed the runes on her head, they joined the first rune, and before his eyes, a trail of ki surrounded the runes. Jazz blinked, then shook his head, realizing that altogether the runes formed the script on PaoPao's Jiang Shi talismans. Her ki exploded out, shocking Jazz and the other fighters. At the same time, the dagger in her hand grew in length, becoming the size of the sword PaoPao normally carried at her side, her other hand then grew claws of ki. As her aura darkened, so did her complexion, her skin changing from a healthy tan to a dark, glowing blue, and her eyes changing from their normal color to a deep, malevolent red.
Jazz looked up at the moon, 'No… not yet…' he thought. He glanced at PaoPao to see that she was already at his face.
Blood filled his vision as her claw tore into his face, and no sooner had he attempted to duck as her ki sword sliced off his left arm.
Blind and one-armed, Jazz felt his chest buckle as she kicked him with enough force to break a few ribs. As he was launched across the arena, he felt terrible pain as he crashed into the barrier, which kept him from falling out.
"What the fuck…" He groaned, "that's just cruel…"
"PaoPao screamed shrilly, leaping forward towards him. He was ready this time, ki senses raised to their highest as he ducked under her swinging blade and vicious claws. Perhaps because it was such a dense concentration of ki, he was able to see them in the darkness of his blinded state, like torchlights under the night of a new moon.
His body disappeared in white dust, morphing into a donkey and kicking out with as much force as he could muster. He heard something crack, then used his regeneration to heal his eyes. His blurry vision made out the vague shape of PaoPao, and with a feeling of revulsion, he watched as she fixed her dislocated arm with a sickening crunch.
"ASTOUNDING! FIGHTER PAOPAO SEEMS TO HAVE HEALING PROPERTIES ON PAR WITH JASPER! PERHAPS THIS IS IT FOR OUR MYSTERIOUS YOUNG FIGHTER?!"
The crowd cheered at the display of ferocity between the two, Jazz had made it a point to be as spectacular as possible with his fights, dancing around the battlefield like a showman, and his opponents often played up that feeling, this meshed well with PaoPao, who, even in this beserk state, fought with a certain elegance.
"PAOPAO ISN'T LETTING UP? IS THIS THE END FOR JASPER? OR DOES HE HAVE ANY MORE TRICKS UP HIS SLEEVE?!"
PaoPao charged towards him once more, ki concentrating fully on her blade.
Jazz activated the full pump up, ki elevating to beyond even Goku's for a short bit of time. As he charged the ki into his arm, he began to concentrate a Kamehameha.
Roshi felt tense as he watched the two fight, PaoPao was definitely a prodigy, and the varied talents she put together made her extremely interesting to behold, but Jazz was an enigma, he trained, that much was true, but he didn't seem to have a full teacher, or a concrete disciplinary plan. Unlike both Goku and Krillin, he started training at a much later age, and had a weaker foundation than anyone else he had overseen, his fighting style was structured and at times felt artificial, like he was simply doing what he thought a real martial artist should do rather than what his natural fighting senses and training told him to do, but at times like this, he surprised the Turtle Sage. He had heard of Jazz's actions during the first trip into Devil's Hand and saw how hard the boy worked to help his pupil Goku overcome both his trauma and his power. Now, he watched as the boy seemed to emulate his technique down to the correct pose and posture.
"Amazing." He chuckled.
As PaoPao neared, Jazz closed his eyes, concentrating his senses to the fullest, he waited until PaoPao's blade neared his head.
"Kamehameha!" He fired his Kamehameha at her blade, and towards the sky. With a resounding boom, both the blade and the barrier shattered.
Without flinching, PaoPao formed another ki dagger, but before it could bury itself in Jazz's side, he exploded into a cloud of smoke.
PaoPao screamed out in shock, snapping her out of her transformation as a massive electric current streamed through her body. She was thrown back, landing hard on the floor as Jazz, again in the dragon form, coughed out blood as he held the wound she carved into his side.
"Damn… you really know how to drag on a fight…" PaoPao muttered.
"I mean, to be fair, I had you on the ropes the first time I took this form." Jazz replied.
"You could have finished me off and then healed yourself back then." PaoPao retorted, "are you going easy on me?" Her ki talisman faded away, but her energy was still enough to summon a ki dagger, she pointed it at him, breathing hard, and preparing to strike.
Jazz shook his head, "nope, I'm not, in fact, this was all part of the plan."
PaoPao narrowed her eyes, "what do you mean?"
Jazz pointed all around them with an exhausted smile, "what do you see?"
She looked around, "I see… your blood?" From where the dragon bled, blood had fallen onto the arena floor, even if the blood came from a transformation, it was Jazz's blood, so it wasn't going to simply disappear.
Jazz nodded, "Wabowabobo" The arena exploded into flames, the force so strong that it generated hot winds, buffeting and throwing PaoPao off balance, the flames however did not harm her body, instead, she felt her wounds heal again, despite that, the concussive force left her reeling. Jazz, on the other hand, danced through the flames and reached her quickly. Cocking back his fist, he punched her hard, knocking her out of the arena with a flying uppercut. Before PaoPao could recover, she heard the sound of an explosion as Jazz transformed once more, though his form was odd, it was a humanoid being with green skin, antennae, and long sharp ears like an elf, the inner areas of the creature's arms were pink and red. She widened her eyes as he stretched out his hand, grabbing PaoPao and slamming her unto the ground outside the arena tiles.
"ASTOUNDING! JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT JASPER WAS FINALLY BEAT, HE PULLED OFF AN AMAZING TRICK! AIMING FOR THE SKY TO SHATTER THE BARRIER, THEN USING HIS OWN BLOOD LIKE A MINE TO TRICK THE LEADER OF THE TSUKIMI INTO A TRAP! THE WINNER WITH A RING OUT, IS JAZZ!"
The crowd cheered loudly.
"That was amazing, it was like a fight between two magicians, pulling one trick, then the next!"
"Wow, I feel bad for whoever has to fight Jazz next…"
In the fighter's waiting area, Krillin and Goku turned to each other.
"Wow… that was something else…" Krillin shook his head, "it looks like Jazz and PaoPao aren't any weaker than we are, actually, they might be stronger."
Goku laughed, "it's awesome, but I still think we trained more Krillin!"
Krillin nodded excitedly. "Yeah! No matter what happens Goku? Don't go easy on me!"
Goku nodded, grinning. The two stepped unto the field, high-fiving PaoPao, then Jasper
"AND NOW… THE FINAL BOUT OF THE QUARTER-FINALS! STUDENT VS STUDENT! GOKU! VS.! KRILLIN!"
The two fighters charged…

Afterword:
The two fighters gave it their all, but unfortunately for PaoPao, she fell for an unfortunate trap.
The flames will emanate from Jazz's body, even from parts of his body no longer part of him, so using the flames of renewal, he can generate a concussive force from the heat and winds, but the healing energy will counter act the damage, just creating a pushing attack. As PaoPao doesn't have Ki sensing capabilities yet, she was effectively blinded, deafened, and thrown out of whack.
If you're curios as to Jazz's transformation, I utilized a whole host of animals into this one. I'm sure a few are obvious, snake, crocodile, alligator, komodo dragon, deer, lion, hawk, owl, electric eel and bombardier beetle, spitting cobra. I also used bat, catfish, dolphin, shark, iguana, and more than a few different types of fish, as well as some moths and butterflies, it also has multiple hearts like some species of mammals like Giraffs, and multiple mini-brains near the wings, the wings themselves also have a large amount of neurons like an octopus, and a hollow bone structure, while the rest of the creature's bones are a mix of solid, hollow, and cartilage to get the best mix of weight, flexibility, and strength. Jazz (I guess like me lol), is one of those kinds of people who think "wouldn't it be cool if you fused this and that thing?" And his creativity with his transformations reflect that thought, also, as you see, it's why he ate so much lol. As you see on the sheet, he's down to 155 pounds, meaning he's lost both the extra 4 pounds of food, and 2 more pounds from the resources he burned launching his attacks.
As for the dragon's move, Thunder Fire flash? Since electricity would arc out of the attack, sort of like Vegeta's final flash, well, you get it right?
Look forward to the next chapter!
