Juggling (41)

Paragus eyed the robot in front of him with caution, staring at it's sleek and shiny surface warily. Paragus' opponent was an eight-foot-tall, matt black Hatchiyak. It stood on two thick digitigrade legs and had wide, hydraulic gear-like sections in its long arms that sagged past its knees.

It was by far the most intimidating robot.

"Fight!" Dr announcer yelled as both combatants hand stepped onto the stage.

'I am so glad I made adjustments to my Scouter' Broly thought as he activated the item.

It was truly a useful tool.

The Saiyans had already prepared themselves for the fight, rearing to go at maximum power.

'Zes?' Broly thought curiously, he learned from his department that the most powerful machine inTsufurian possession was called 'Baby' and it had a power level of around two million, if not for the fact that he connected his scouter to the Skynet, he would have mistaken Zes for Baby.

Mushro looked at the robot with discomfort, 'I don't think he's going to beat it' he thought, observing a strange aura around the robot.

Round Start: Extreme Heat," Dr Console announced, leaning back in his chair and pressing buttons on his command board.

Zes stretched out both of its arms and opened its palms, the sudden action surprising Paragus, who watched keenly.

A lime-green gas was emitted from a small tube within Zes' palm, quickly diffusing all over the stage.

Paragus instinctively held his breath and retreated, trying to maintain some distance from the gas.

Zes then swiped its left arm at the gas.

BOOM!

The entire stage erupted as a burning explosion swept over the atmosphere, several guard Hatchiyak's having to generate defensive barriers over the audience in the stands.

"What a start!"

"Right off the bat?"

The crowd cheered as they saw the explosion, they watched their representative take early tide of the fight.

Paragus was caught completely off guard by the explosion but he stood firm on the heated ground.

"I've trained in worse places than this!" he announced, trying to find Zes in the fiery mess.

A strong visceral punch found Paragus who was looking for Zes in the heated explosion, knocking him into the air.

'Light, Heavy, Light Medium, Light, Light Super!' Dr Console thought as he pressed the command board.

Zes smacked Paragus with the back of his fist, then kicked his jaw, sending him rocking into the air. Zes jumped up and jabbed Paragus in his chest before reeling back and punching him again, Zes then shifted it's body weight back smacked its leg against the side of Paragus head.

Not allowing Paragus to fly away, Zes grabbed Paragus' leg and swung him around, fanning the flames in the heated environment before throwing him up into the air.

The wind whistled harshly as Paragus' body was thrown and Zes charged ki into its fist as Paragus fell.

Broly and Mushro watched the scene in silence, they both knew this was not the end for Paragus.

CRUNCH!

Zes' fist connected harshly against Paragus' head and knocked his body towards the edge of the ring.

Paragus slammed his hands down into the stage, his fingers causing deep marks in the ground as his momentum dwindled at the edge.

Paragus stood up valiantly, his tough body completely resisting the flames, although he had just been beaten around, his body showed little signs of damage, the worst being a mark on his face from the punch of Zes.

'The old man is actually alive after that?' Dr Console thought, already slouching in his chair.

"Tch! That show-off is way more durable than I am," Mushro said warmly as he internally cheered Paragus on.

Broly could only sigh as he knew what the outcome of the fight would be.

'Dad is definitely not going down without a fight but he is simply outmatched by Zes'

Broly considered telling Mushro about what he had seen on his Scouter then decided against it.

'Saiyans are versatile creatures, they'll grow the most if they don't know what they're facing' Broly concluded.

Paragus charged Zes boldly, covering his entire body with ki and sent a firm punch towards Zes who matched it in angle.

CLANG!

Both fists connected and a shocking sound was produced.

"My goodness!"

"Did you feel that?"

The Tsufurians in the stands were exhilarated, their most barbaric desire to see two things fight each other, a desire they didn't realise existed, suddenly satisfied and they openly voiced their appreciation.

Paragus and Zes collided fists once again another shocking sound reverberating across the entire arena. Paragus could feel the strain on his muscles and loved every second of it, he felt like he was finally behaving in a way his Saiyan instincts approved of. Instead of getting fatigued or tired, Paragus felt foreign energy envelop him as began to swarm Zes with attacks more enthusiastically.

'He's learning as he fights?' Dr Console though intrigued.

Paragus' punches and kicks were slowly getting more accurate, targeting Zes' weaker spots and he started to force him to shift onto the defensive.

Broly couldn't help but get excited as he saw his father improve in such a small time frame, he wondered whether something like that would happen to him when he was fighting.

Dr Console sat up in his chair and looked at his screen concentrating.

"I guess I can't play with my food anymore," he said as his fingers started dancing across his command board.

Zes and Paragus wildly slammed fists, when Paragus noted something, a large hole was opening at the centre of Zes' chest. Paragus' brows furrowed as he weaved a punch from Zes and swung onto its head.

Zes tanked the blow and grabbed a hold of Paragus arm, a strange orange ki orb floated out of its chest and Zes pulled Paragus towards it. Paragus, unable to resist, was dragged onto the orb which exploded viciously on impact, sending Paragus into the air. Four more orbs flew out of Zes' chest who was attacking Paragus mid-air and at the end of his sequence of attacks, Zes would grab Paragus' leg and violently swing him down towards orb which exploded and sent him back into the air.

Broly and Mushro watched as Paragus was systematically beaten about the stage, helplessly looking at him receive kick after punch after hook and finally crashing to the floor.

Five seconds passed and Paragus didn't get up.

Dr Console smiled knowingly and began to input more commands.

Zes jumped high into the air, slamming both feet into Paragus.

"He's already lost!" Mushro shouted, flipping a nearby table just by standing up.

"Why is the Robot still attacking him? He's already unconscious!"

Broly and Mushro looked as Zes began pounding on Paragus' limp body and beat him continuously.

"G-Game!" the announcer shouted hurriedly, surprised by the Robot was still attacking the defeated opponent.

It was only when this was said, the Robot eased off.

Paragus lay beaten and bloody on the floor, he had a wide smile on his face as he had worked past his limit.

Mushro was about to step on stage before he was held back by a hand.

"It's my match next, I'll handle this," he said, a deeply irritated look etched onto his face.

Seeing Broly's fury Mushro cooled down and took a seat.

He of all people knew how bad things could get when Broly was angered.
