Chapter 7: Hikaru Tanaka Versus Tsuki Nakagawa!
Hikaru and Tsuki walked up onto the stage as Present Mic's Twin Sister, Hizashiko announced; "It is now time for the last match for the first match! We'll start off with Tsuki Nakagawa!".
Tsuki yawns out of boredom as Hizashiko announced; "Tsuki may seem to have a laid-back personality, but he makes up for it over his unrivaled natural talent over fighting in close combat!".
Hikaru began to stretch as Hizashiko announced; "Over on the other side of the stage, we have Hikaru Tanaka! Hikaru got in the Hero Course due to Recommendations! However, due to the USJ Incident, Hikaru has been showing us what he's truly capable of!".
Tsuki and Hikaru did their martial arts stances before Hizashiko announced; "Readyyyyy! Start!".
Tsuki and Hikaru dashed towards each other and began to exchange blows. They exchanged blows until Tsuki caught both of Hikaru's fists, he landed a back-flip kick, and then sent Hikaru flying with a punch. Hikaru stops himself in midair before he dashed towards Tsuki and began throwing a barrage of kicks at Tsuki as he dodged them all. Tsuki blocked one of Hikaru's attacks before they began to exchange blows in the air, surprising everyone in and outside of the stadium. They exchanged blows until they both jumped back onto the stage.
Everyone began cheering for the fight as Present Mic came back on the microphone and announced; "What a crazy exchange of blows! It was so loud it woke me up!".
"That should do for a warm-up!" Hikaru said with a confident smirk on his face.
"Hah!" Hikaru shouted out as he unleashed his Ki.
Tsuki unleashed his Ki before he and Hikaru took a stance. They dashed towards each other and clashed fists, creating a powerful shockwave. Hikaru threw a karate chop at Tsuki as Tsuki easily dodged it. Tsuki threw a punch at Hikaru but Hikaru caught it, Hikaru landed a punch on Tsuki's face, Hikaru lands a high-kick, Hikaru quickly grabs Tsuki, Hikaru guts Tsuki with a knee-kick, and then he sent Tsuki flying with a Ki Blast Cannon.
Tsuki stopped himself in midair before he said; "If that was all you got, then I'm more than disappointed in you, Son of the Second strongest being in the Universe…".
"Shut up!" Hikaru shouted out at him before he dashed towards Tsuki.
They began to exchange blows until Tsuki guts Hikaru with an upper-punch and pushes him back with a kick to Hikaru's face. Hikaru fell to his knees after taking that head-on, he stood up straight, and unleashed his Full Power. Hikaru used his Finish Breaker technique, firing a barrage of energy blasts at Tsuki. Tsuki deflected all of the Ki blasts as Hikaru prepares his Shine Shot technique as he forms a ball of fire in his hands and throws it, tossing the fireball at Tsuki, but Tsuki countered it with a purple electrical Ki blast.
Hikaru dashed towards Tsuki and pushed him back with a couple of kicks. Tsuki and Hikaru dashed towards each other and began to exchange blows. They exchanged blows until Tsuki slammed Hikaru down with a Double Ax Handle. Hikaru stands back up and powers up before he unleashes his Saiyan Power. Tsuki sees this and unleashes his Saiyan Power as well.
"It seems both of them awakened their powers in their training, but I'm getting a feeling this is only one thing Tsuki awakened during his training…" Tatsuya thought.
Hikaru takes on a familiar stance.
"That's–".
"Galick… Gun!" Hikaru shouts out as he charges his energy before firing off the Galick Gun technique at Tsuki.
Tsuki dodges it and Hikaru follows Tsuki before the two dashed towards each other and exchanged blows. They continued to exchange blows as they seemed to be on par with one another. They continued to exchange blows until Hikaru knocks Tsuki away with an uppercut, then uses a flying dash to get around behind Tsuki to deliver an aerial version of a double kick to send Tsuki flying away again, then flies up into the air to deliver the Double Axe Handle portion of knocking Tsuki into the ground, before powering up with his arms & legs outstretched like a star, then performs a double fist flying charge to presumably finish off the helpless Tsuki. Tsuki grins mischievously and manipulates his ki to disrupt the planet's geomagnetic field.
"Ah, Crap! Kinda walked into this one." Hikaru thought.
With a swift upwards motion of the hand as Tsuki immediately stands back up, Tsuki creates a powerful explosion that expands outwards towards the edge of the arena. The pressure of the explosion created a powerful shockwave that almost blew the entire audience as well as Midnight and Cementoss away. Hikaru has gotten blown away by the explosion. He was about to fall out of bounds.
"Guys, He ringed Hikaru Out!" Hanzo shouts out.
Hikaru stopped himself in midair before he could fall out of bounds.
"...Oh.".
"...You just forgot we can fly, didn't you?" Kazan questioned Hanzo.
"I… Yeah…".
"So Blaze did teach him the Galick Gun Technique… It makes sense if you think about it. Back then Blaze and Vegeta were so similar that they were practically the same. In personality and fighting style. Blaze learned some of Vegeta's techniques because it suited who he was and those techniques became his own…" Ryuu thought. "I've done the same with Tatsuya, since I was similar to Son Goku in a way, I learned most of his techniques and made them a part of my moves. I only showed Tatsuya the Kamehameha technique and my Dragon Flash technique once, so they've been implanted in his memories so he can copy and use them as his own whenever he wants to. He already used my Dragon Flash move and he's bound to use the Kamehameha eventually. All of our children have so much potential, and yet… They use each other to push each other beyond their limits to become stronger, better, more skilled, and disciplined. They use each other to grow… They rely on each other… even if they act so differently towards one another, they're all friends, sworn brothers like us…".
Hikaru jumps at Tsuki to deliver a knee strike, but Tsuki blocks the kick before Hikaru delivers an unblockable kick to Tsuki that sends him flying back. Tsuki grits his teeth as he dashed towards Hikaru and throws a punch. Hikaru dodges Tsuki's punch and lays on the ground to double kick him up into the air. Then, he backflips up onto his feet and flies up into the air above Tsuki. Finally, Hikaru knocks Tsuki down to the ground with a Double Axe Handle, inflicting a high amount of damage. Tsuki stands back up and dusts himself off before the two dashed towards each other and went back to exchanging blows. Hikaru became annoyed as he continued to exchange blows with Tsuki who kept his calm and stoic composure. The two continued to exchange blows before jumping back.
"Both of them are giving everything they got. Even if Tsuki is holding back, he's only holding back his power, not his combat skills. And Hikaru… He's slowly adapting and learning Tsuki's fighting style so he can overcome him, even if it is just a little bit." Tatsuya thought. "I can already tell Tsuki was put through an intense and rigorous training which made him far more stronger than us, even though we all know that he has a demon transformation, awakening his Saiyan power only made him far more stronger than us… However, Dad was in the same shoes I was back then when he was my age. He was so left behind and still growing to become stronger. He awakened his power when Uncle Tsukiya helped him push through his limits just so they could fight as equals, and eventually, that fight itself saved him from the inside and He and Dad became good friends and rivals… Why am I getting the same feeling it's going to happen again with just me and Tsuki?...".
Hikaru charges at Tsuki, but stops right in front of him and places both of his hands on Tsuki's chest. Then, he charges yellow energy in his hands. Finally, Tsuki fires the yellow energy in the form of a massive energy wave against Tsuki, inflicting a huge amount of damage.
"Hikaru is so powerful…" Mina said in awe.
"He's not showing any mercy to Tsuki." Denki said.
"What incredible power… Tatsuya and the others really are on a whole different level…" Izuku thought as he continued to watch the fight.
The Smokescreen lifts up and Tsuki is revealed unscathed as he dusts himself off.
"Tch! Eat this!" Hikaru says as he raises his right hand as he curls his fingers and charges a white energy sphere. Then, he brings his hand forward and fires the energy sphere in the form of an energy wave at Tsuki, inflicting a great amount of damage.
Tsuki deflects it away effortlessly and smirks confidently.
"Damn… He's still holding back. Fine, Let's see if you can tank this!" Hikaru thought as he drew both hands back while gathering ki. "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…AAAAAAAAHHHHH!".
Then, Hikaru places the bottom of his palms together, forming a sphere of energy that emits sporadic bolts of electric yellow ki that shoot out in all directions.
"Wh-What's going on down there?! Why is the entire stadium shaking?!" Mina questioned.
"Whatever is happening down there… I'm getting a bad feeling about it…" Eijiro said nervously and with concern.
"This is bad… He'll destroy the planet if he unleashes that!" Kazan thought in concern.
"Hoho, That's much better! I can finally feel that. You're now giving me your all. Much appreciated, Prince." Tsuki said with a mischievous smile.
"Ohhhhh Shit." Ryuu said.
"Shit! If Hikaru unleashes that'll Kill everyone in the stadium or it'll destroy the earth!" Tatsuya thought before shouting out; "Hikaru, don't–!".
Tsuki noticed what Hikaru was doing and Tsuki unleashed his Full power as his right arm was surrounded by dark energy and became an arm of a demon.
"Final… Flash!" Hikaru shouted out as he discharged a massive golden beam of energy with electric ki streaming around it towards Tsuki.
Tsuki put his right arm out towards the blast and took it head-on with his demon arm as he also managed to deflect it into the sky so no hero or civilian in the audience would be killed.
"Man! That was a close call. If Tsuki didn't deflect that attack, everyone or the earth would've been destroyed!" Tatsuya said as he sighed in relief.
"I can't believe he really deflected something that big and powerful…" Kazan said.
"There's no way he's that strong… It's impossible…" Hanzo said in shock.
Tsuki's arm reverted back to normal, he swats away the smokescreen, and then says; "You're pathetic. You and your father never cease to repeat the same mistakes over and over again."
"What are you talking about?!" Hikaru demanded.
"Your Father is the second strongest being alive and is the Current Saiyan King!" Tsuki said. "Your Father has something you don't have, which is a disgrace for a Saiyan Prince such as yourself!".
"What are you saying?" Hikaru asked in irritation.
"You lack Saiyan Pride which shows how much you lack in your Saiyan capabilities!" Tsuki said. "You lack the True nature of the Saiyans! You lack our True Nature of becoming drastically stronger after recovering from a near-death experience."
"You're wrong!" Hikaru shouted.
"Oh? Am I?" Tsuki began to say. "Then tell me, Saiyan Prince. What are Saiyans to you?".
"He's trying to taunt him and break his spirit…" Ryuu thought with a serious look on his face.
"We Saiyans are the strongest warrior Race that ever existed!…" Hikaru said. "We may have an ability that makes us stronger from overcoming death, but that does not mean that's our true nature!...".
"Then tell me, young Saiyan Prince…" Tsuki said. "What is our Saiyan Nature? Is it to be evil? Is it to protect others?".
"It's neither!..." Hikaru said. "Our Saiyan Nature is to keep fighting! We strive to keep fighting! We strive to become stronger and better ourselves!...".
"That is our Nature!... My Father may be the King of Saiyans and I may be the Saiyan Prince, but I won't allow someone like you to say what I do or don't have!" Hikaru shouted out. "I have the Saiyan Pride! I have the Saiyan Spirit! And I won't let someone like you disrespect our own race!".
Hikaru roared in rage as he then unleashed a bright orange pillar of Spiritual power. Everyone became surprised or shocked to see Hikaru awaken his Father's Demon Form.
Hikaru's pupils were red as his eyes were dilated like a dragon, his fingernails became black and sharp as a claw, his hair spiked up a little, he had orange aura-like tails and ears, he grew small whiskers on his face, and his power increase by ten-folds. He glanced at Tsuki in anger as Tsuki smirked and transformed into his Demonic Form.
"W-What in the world is going on here?!" Present Mic and Hizashiko said out loud on the mic. "Hikaru and Tsuki have suddenly transformed…! Who in the world are these kids?!".
"My, my." Ryuu said. "Now that's a surprise. Hikaru awakened his Demonic Nine-Tails powers…".
"It's a good thing I came then!" a mysterious voice said.
Tatsuya and Ryuu turned our heads to the right and they noticed Hikaru's Dad standing next to Ryuu.
"Blaze…" Ryuu said.
"Ryuu…" Blaze said.
Blaze Tanaka; Ryuu's Rival, the Current Saiyan King, A God Of Pride and Hard Work, the Father of Hikaru Tanaka, and the Second Strongest being alive. Power: Saiyan/Demon; Nine-Tails . His Saiyan power allows him to transform into a Super Saiyan and beyond. His Demonic Nine-Tails allows him to utilize his Demonic Kitsune powers and use it at whatever time he chooses to use it.
Tatsuya walked to him and offered his hand as he said; "Hello, Mr. Tanaka. I'm Tatsuya Hitoshi, Ryuu's son. It's an honor to meet you."
He shook Tatsuya's hand as he said; "Hello again, Tatsuya. It's good to see you again.".
He looks at his son and Tsuki, and says with a serious expression on his face; "I'm surprised how they now have demonic forms, especially Tsuki…".
"Well, of course! He is my son after all!" another mysterious voice said.
They turned our heads to the left and noticed Tsuki's Dad standing next to Ryuu.
"Tsukiya…" Ryuu said.
"Ryuu…" Tsukiya said.
Tsukiya Nakagawa, The third strongest being alive, one of Ryuu's sworn brothers, Tsuki's Dad, one of Ryuu's rivals, and is known as the new God of Death and the Moon. His Power: Saiyan/Darkness. His Saiyan powers allows him to transform into a Super Saiyan and beyond. His Darkness power allows him to control the power of Death, The Moon, Demons, Shadows, and the power of destruction itself…
"Hello, Uncle Tsukiya…" Tatsuya said.
"Hello, Tatsuya." He replied. "Are you going to be ready to fight against Homura Araya and my son, Tsuki?".
"Yeah… And I won't be holding back either!" Tatsuya replied.
"Hmph. Good." He said before he turned towards Ryuu and said to him; "Just like I, he awakened his demon powers at such a young age. I taught him everything he needed to use in battle as well as helping him awaken his Saiyan Powers, Just like I did-".
"By making him undergo the same training you did?" Ryuu interrupted as Tsukiya nodded his head. "I figured as much…".
They turned their attention back on Hikaru and Tsuki as they both took a stance before they dashed towards each other and began to exchange blows. They exchanged blows until Tsuki pushed Hikaru back with a punch. They dashed towards each other again and went back to exchanging blows as powerful shockwaves began to emit off of their attacks.
"Hikaru awakened his Demonic Form and with that, made him stronger than he ever was before. However, Tsuki is just as strong as he is or even stronger. Hikaru will grow stronger drastically only if he's pushed to the brink of death or at least trying to break past his limits. Hence, the power of the Saiyans." Ryuu thought. "It's dangerous but also truly one of the only ways to grow stronger in a short amount of time… To truly gain the power to protect those you care and love, you must embrace the parts of who you are, even if you are still learning about them. These kids will become stronger than they were before if they embrace their Saiyan Heritage. They must if they want to grow stronger… Such is the path of a Saiyan Warrior… To become a warrior and beyond that…".
The two continue to exchange blows until Hikaru punches Tsuki, then kicks him upwards. Then, Hikaru quickly rushes upward from below, kicking Tsuki brutally in the stomach. Finally, he elbows Tsuki downwards, inflicting massive damage. Tsuki gets back up but Hikaru suddenly appears in front of Tsuki, and Hikaru then punches Tsuki twice in the face. He then knees Tsuki in his stomach and punches him away. Tsuki smirks as he stands back up.
"I'm impressed. Behind all angst and ridiculous appearance of yours as an awakened Demonic Kitsune, there's a real fighter in there!" Tsuki said.
"And behind all that insufferable swarm is an overconfident brat!" Hikaru said.
They both dashed towards each other and exchanged blows. Hikaru dodges one of Tsuki's punches, he headbutts Tsuki, sending him flying away. He then flies to him and kicks him in the face. With Tsuki stunned, Hikaru attacks him with a Double Axe Handle, sending him to the ground.
"Now that might not have done a lot of damage… But Damn did it feel good!" Hikaru said with a prideful smirk.
Tsuki stands back up and dusts himself off once again.
"Oh-ho-ho! Am I sensing an Iota of pride?" Tsuki said with a grin. "Guess the apple doesn't fall far if you shake the Tree hard enough!".
"He's just been playing with Hikaru this entire time… No wonder he has so much confidence…" Blaze thought. "If Hikaru falls for the taunt, it's game over.".
They dash towards each other and returned to exchanging blows.
"They both seem to be on par in terms of power and strength. It already feels like they're drawing the fight out more than just trying to end it quickly. They're wasting their stamina if this keeps going." Blaze thought. "You still have limits, your bodies won't handle the power you'll draw out if you continue this up, Hikaru. You have to end this fight quickly or you're finished.".
They exchanged blows until Tsuki jumped back and shouted out before he fired off his Darkness energy blast at Hikaru; "Darkness… Flash!".
Hikaru counters the blast with his own energy blast as it came from his mouth after he shouted out; "Kitsune's… Roar!".
Hikaru's blast overpowered Tsuki's blast as it began to push him back before he redirected the blast somewhere else. Hikaru dashed towards Tsuki and began to push him back as they began to exchange blows again. Hikaru continued to push Tsuki back until they began to exchange blows all over the stadium in the sky. They continue to exchange blows until Hikaru blocks one of Tsuki's punches and guts him with an upper-punch. Hikaru then punches Tsuki in the face. Then, he hits him with a barrage of punches and kicks before kicking him into the air. Finally, he punches Tsuki in the stomach before punching him away, inflicting a great amount of damage. Hikaru chases after Tsuki and lands a Karate chop on Tsuki's neck before he lands a high-kick and knocks Tsuki down onto the stage with a Double Axe Handle.
"This match is about done and over with…" Ryuu thought.
Hikaru draws his hands out to his sides as he powers up, creating an enormous Orange-Red aura around his body. Then, he throws his arms out in front of him and fires a large Orange-Red Galick Gun-like energy wave at Tsuki, inflicting a huge amount of damage. "Galactic… Bazooka!".
"Ah, Crapbaskets." Tatsuya thought.
"I haven't seen that move in a long time." Ryuu thought.
"I haven't used that move in a long time." Blaze thought.
"Ooo~ This is a new one!" Tsuki thought, keeping his confident grin.
Tsuki quickly gets back up, he jumps towards the blast, and kicks it away. Hikaru was surprised to see Tsuki kick his blast away with ease before Tsuki appeared above Hikaru and knocked him down onto the stage with a Double Ax Handle. Hikaru struggles to stand back up as he reverts back to his base form.
"This fight is over." Kazan said with his arms folded.
"It seems Hikaru already reached the limit of his power for now…" Homura said.
"Even with his new power, it wasn't enough after all…" Kenshin said.
"Man, Tsuki is practically unstoppable at this point!..." Hanzo said.
Tsuki appears in front of Hikaru, he reverts back to his base form, he turns his right arm into a demon arm, he grabs Hikaru by the neck, and throws him out of the ring.
Tsuki's arm reverts back to normal as Midnight announces in shock; "H-Hikaru is out of the ring! Tsuki moves onto the next round!".
"I can't believe Hikaru lost." Sero said.
"Yeah, and he was unleashing so much power too." Denki said.
"He was so powerful and yet Tsuki managed to be even more powerful than Hikaru to beat him like that…" Kyoka said.
"So I really am going to be facing Tsuki in the end…" Tatsuya thought.
"He lost but at least he learned and gained something out of this fight." Blaze said.
"I can't believe how strong Tsuki actually is… Now I'm understanding how hard it was for my Dad to fight Uncle Tsukiya… I'm going to be in trouble if I don't give it my all, power and martial arts…" Tatsuya thought.
"After Tatsuya's fight, we'll know how much Tsukiya taught Tsuki and how strong Tsuki has become because of it…" Ryuu thought before saying to Tatsuya; "Better get down there and get ready for your match.".
"Right…" Tatsuya said.
Ryuu takes out a small beige bag full of Senzu Beans. Ryuu takes one out and flicks the Senzu Bean at Blaze who catches the Senzu Bean without looking. Blaze jumped down to Hikaru and fed him a senzu bean before he helped him up and took him to the bleachers. They watched all the other matches until it was Tatsuya's turn to fight.
Tatsuya was up against Homura Araya, the son of the Fusion of Sara Onishi and Naruko Uzumaki; the Twin Sister of Naruto Uzumaki and the Second eighth hokage, and Ryuu's best friend; Michael Araya.
"Homura already knows how my power works on defense more than offense. So I'll have to be careful or else our match will be over the moment I walk up onto the arena…" Tatsuya thought.
Tatsuya smirked out of excitement as he thought; "Well, well… This is going to be interesting!...".
Tatsuya and Homura walked up onto the stage as Present Mic announced on the mic; "It is now time for the 3rd match of the semi-finals! We'll start off with Homura Araya!".
Homura begins to stretch as Present Mic announces; "Homura Araya is the Third Flame Quirk User in the Hero Course. However, his fighting capabilities far surpasses the Todoroki Twins, the two other flame quirk users in the Hero course!".
Tatsuya began to stretch as Present Mic announced; "Over on the other side of the stage is our Rising Star, Tatsuya Hitoshi! Tatsuya has been showing his true abilities ever since this tournament started! I wonder what type of show Tatsuya will give us now!".
"Let's have a good match!" Homura said.
"Yeah…".
Me and Homura did our Martial Arts Stances before Present Mic's Twin Sister announced; "Readyyyyyy! Start!".
End of Chapter 7.
