'How else can I win?' Lincoln thought as the pain in his cheek stung from the clawed strike as he skid backwards on the arena and wiped his face.
"Surrender kid! Or else things are gonna get messy real quick!" Fuzzball laughed as he cracked his knuckles and continued his assault. 'Crap, is he getting faster?!' He thought before jumping away to the side as Fuzzball's knuckles grazed his side.
'There's gotta be something I can do…..wait that's it!' Lincoln thought as Fuzzball rushed forward only for Lincoln to duck under him and jammed both of his hands into his stomach and began to rapidly scratch as Fuzzball stopped in his tracks, his eyes and tongue bulging out of his skull.
"Koochi koochi koo!" Lincoln exclaimed before rearing his fist back and throwing a punch to his gut, sending him flying backwards.
"Ugh….cheap shot kid….but not a bad one!" Fuzzball said, slowly standing up and gripping his stomach while letting out a few sharp coughs.
"Impressive." Rice muttered, nodding their head at Lincoln's quick thinking as he, Albert and Baba watched the fight together. "It was a cheap shot, but an interesting choice of action." Baba commented.
"That's my grandson! He's smarter than he looks" Albert chuckled, crossing his arms as he looked at Rice. "If I were you I'd start getting ready."
"What the heck does that mean?!" Lincoln exclaimed, having heard his grandpa amidst his fight as Fuzzball punched Lincoln in his gut sending him flying across the arena. "Focus on your opponent, runt!" He growled as he bared his teeth and extended his claws, getting into the fight. "Alright! Time for my secret weapon!" Fuzzball growled as he clench his hand and let out a deep growl as a strange black energy began to irradiate off of him as his muscles began to pulsate as lincoln could hear the sounds of stretching and cracking as Fuzzball began to slowly grow larger and larger his muscles started to fully bulge out as his legs started to grow thicker and larger as did his feet and his shirt began to rip and tear until he was now full 4 times the size of Lincoln as he let out a loud frightening Howl as Lincoln took a small step back in nervousness. 'H-Holy crap!' Lincoln thought with wide eyes as Fuzzball took a step forward that shook the arena.
"Hmmm…Ki Max? So…you taught him the same technique master knows?" Albert asked Baba who gave a chuckle. "Of course, my brother was more than happy to teach him this ability after he heard that Goku's descendant would be undergoing some training." Baba said with a grin as Rice watched silently, questioning what Lincoln would do next.
*Elsewhere*
Inside the ruins of what used to be Capsule Corp, a lone figure was struggling to walk as they held onto the walls as a few sparks from some hanging wires went off, lighting the place up momentarily. Revealing a tall figure with a teal complexion covered in blackish brown spots black wings with a stinger-like object connected to the underside of his back. "Soon…" They spoke weakly with a balled up fist as they kept walking and leaned against a nearby button causing a massive door to creak and slowly open peering inside they noticed that inside the room was a huge computer with flashing images…of Goku and Vegeta.
"...THEM!" The figure growled as they started to get flashbacks of a smaller boy that resembled Goku brutally slaughtering their siblings as they quickly made their escape during the massacre. 'They will pay for what they did, and I will fulfill his mission in his stead!' They thought angrily as they approached the computer as saw the screen flickering showing the computer was showing its age giving a smirk the figure began to grunt and strain as it managed to push out it's stinger showing it was connected to a long dark blue tail which it then used to connect into the computer's download port.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP, DATA DOWNLOADING
The computer chimed out as a bar labeled 1% appeared as images of Goku and Vegeta started to flash on screen as the figure smirked. "...Yes… all of the Saiyan's battle data is logged into this computer and it will be their undoing!" They exclaimed as waves of green electricity slowly began to enter their body.
*Ronnie Anne*
'Whoa! I can sense some strong power!' Ronnie thought as she quickly flew over the ocean and could see the island off in the distance.
"There it is!" She smiled as she happily flew off towards her destination and landed on the beach. "Sounds like I made it just in time." She chuckled as she heard the sound of fighting coming frome close by. "Alright, let's see who's getting their butt kicked!" She said with a grin as she hopped up on top of the roof of Baba's house and watched as Lincoln fought Fuzzball, barely managing to avoid the giant wolf man's attacks.
'Hmmmm, he's failing to use his opponents size against him.' Vegeta gruffly remarked as Ronnie rolled her eyes. 'Yeah, I noticed, but rest assured I know Lincoln's got this.' Ronnie responded mentally as Fuzzball managed to grab Lincoln by the leg and slam him into the ground, making Ronnie flinch. 'He's got this, huh?' Vegeta said sarcastically.
"Ugh…." Lincoln groaned as Fuzzball held him up to his face. "Had enough kid?" He laughed as Lincoln scowled, grabbed onto the werewolf's nose and bit down hard on it.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHH GET OFF! GET OFF!" He yelled, shaking his trying to get Lincoln off his nose, all while Baba facepalmed and Rice gave a chuckle.
"He certainly is related to Goku." The witch muttered under her breath while watching Fuzzball try to shake Lincoln off of his nose while he flailed around like a ragdoll.
"Get OFF!" Fuzzball yelled as he slammed his face into the ground only for Lincoln to let go at the last second and land on his feet while watching Fuzzball do his best ostrich imitation as his head was completely stuck in the ground.
"Ahahahaha! Nice try. fangface!" Lincoln bragged as he ran forward and slammed both of his heels into the back of Fuzzball's head, knocking him out as his body went limp. "Phew, that was a workout!" Lincoln exclaimed while dusting his hands off.
"Alright Lincoln!" Albert cheered, clapping his hands and making Baba chuckle. "I'm impressed, young Loud, you certainly are a strong warrior in the making." She said with a small grin. "But it will only get harder from here!" Baba said as she looked over at Rice who jumped into the arena. "Wait…I thought that devil guy was next?" Lincoln asked.
"Oh yes, Spike. Sadly, he came down with a bad case of a stomach flu…so Rice here will be taking his place!" She said with an ever growing smile as Rice cracked his knuckles while approaching Lincoln.
"I warn you, I'm not like the other two." Rice spoke as Lincoln took a pose and charged forward with a punch only for Rice to block it with just his pinkie finger. "What the?!"
"Like I said…" Rice then promptly delivered an uppercut to the boys stomach, sending him flying back. "…I'm not like the others."
Lincoln landed on the ground and tumbled out of the arena. "Ugh….he hits hard." He groaned.
"Man, I can't believe you got knocked on your ass!" Lincoln heard Ronnie laugh as he noticed her laughing from the rooftop. "Ronnie Anne? What're you doing here?"
"Just came here to see if you can handle this…oh, and by the way he's on your left." She spoke casually as Lincoln was blinded sided by Rice kicking the side of his body in a quick blur. "GAH! But I wasn't in the arena!"
"The world is our arena. When you start a fight, there is no backing out." Rice said sternly with his arms crossed as he disappeared and reappeared behind Lincoln and kicked him hard, sending him face first into the side of the arena while Ronnie laughed. "Oh, man. I wish I had some popcorn with me!"
Lincoln picked himself up and spat out a small bit of blood while shooting her a glare. "Oh, yeah? I'd like to see you try this!"
"Pfft. Please, Lame-O. I'd mop the floor with him in 2 minutes!" Ronnie bragged.
Rice stood there and crossed his arms. "Hey Rice! Go easy on him, Lincoln doesn't know how to use Ki just yet!" Albert said as Rice gave a chuckle. "Oh yeah….my bad, guess I forgot!" He said a bit sheepishly as Lincoln managed to stand up again.
"Alright!...let's see how you deal…with this!" Lincoln exclaimed as he ran forward and jumped high before spinning around and trying to roundhouse kick Rice, only for him to grab his leg and slam Lincoln to the ground. "Ow…"
"Come in, Lame-O! Put some effort into it!"
'Damn…I wish I had popcorn, too.' She heard Vegeta comment.
Lincoln growled as he struggled to stand. "Stay down Lincoln, my old mentor told me a real warrior knows when to back down from a fight he can't win." Rice spoke wisely as Albert raised an eyebrow from hearing this only to give a chuckle. "...of course…I should've known." He said as Baba gave a smile. "So, you figured it out Albert?" She asked as Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were both confused.
"Pop-pop what're you talking about?" He asked his grandfather.
"I think it's about time you took off that getup, Son." Albert told Rice who smirked and removed his cloak, revealing a taller man wearing an all orange gi, with short black hair, a kind smile and a glowing halo above his head.
"Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, allow me to introduce you both to Son Gohan!" Albert spoke, patting his ancestor on his shoulder.
