Cana vs the Myrmidon.

They were facing each other on the stage waiting for the signal.

In the previous round Alea fought against the Myrmidon and just barely came out on top after he used his innate ability. Their punches are especially vicious as they were essential two arms in one, it amplified the strength of their blows.

The reason Broly won so easily was mostly because of his speed vastly outstripping his opponents. Without any chance to retaliate, Zyrd got completely dominated. Of course, even if a hit landed, it would be unclear if it could do heavy damage to Broly, as his body seemed to be especially tough, making him essentially a humanoid tank.

Alea and Cana are obviously different, they would be in great trouble if a hit landed directly on their body. Alea was able to win against her opponent because she surpassed him in raw power.

Cana on the other side, only surpassed him in their base strength, as soon as her opponent started to transform, her loss would be practically set. So, it was natural that she tried to end this fight as soon as possible.

She silently directed her ki into her hands, as they waited for the signal.

"Fight!"

She put both her hands together, pointing towards her opponent and pushed all the ki she could muster out of her hands. "Haaa!"

A blue energy wave blasted through the air, ripping open the ground beneath it as it flew towards her opponent.

Before the attack connected, he jumped up, additionally using ki waves towards the ground to escape the attack by a hair's breadth. Doing a flip, he landed back on the stage, as he mockingly looked at Cana. Her face went pale as she saw that, she used a mayor amount of her ki for this attack.

"Are you dumb? It was clear that you wanted to end this before I transform. Of course, I would be wary of any sudden attacks at the start of the round. Well now it's too late. Hahaha."

The Myrmidon started to transform as he was laughing. Without waiting for him to finish, Cana let out several ki blasts. Wanting to interrupt the transformation at any cost, she blasted the area where he stood. Explosion after explosion sounded out as the smoke cloud increased and the shrapnel flew through the air. The Myrmidon now nowhere to be seen.

"Haa. Haa. Haa. That probably didn't do much, did it?"

Since the referee or the city lord didn't intervene, it was clear that her opponent didn't die even though no ki could be felt.

Suddenly the smoke was blasted away as a figure in the middle appeared, shining in a red hue.

"Now it's my turn!" He dashed towards Cana upfront, as she intercepted his punch, he faded away like a mirage. A moment later Cana found her view starting to rapidly spin. Her shoulder felt as if it was crushed. She tried to stop herself by readjusting herself in the air but her high momentum made any attempts futile. Just as she was to fly out of the ring, she stopped. She was being held by her arm just a few tens of cm in front of the boundary.

"We are not done with playing! I saw your fellow Saiyan trash my older brother, since that's the case it seems like your race owns us a debt! And you start with repaying!" After he said that he pushed her face into the ground. He outstretched her arm, raised his leg and stomped down.

Cana knew what he wanted to do. If he snapped her arm this way, she would not only lose but she might even be crippled. She couldn't. She couldn't lose here. Why did she train so hard? Only to be stopped here? Her life flashed across her life.

She was born in a low-class warrior family and with her mid-level strength, she was the pride of her parents and her siblings. She could remember her family always being around her, for 5 years her life was perfect, until Frieza doomed the whole planet. She and her parents were swept inside a rift, giving them a chance to survive the explosion.

However, in the strange cloud-space danger was ever present. Her parents protected her from harm even if it meant to be injured, they protected her. It was because of them she was barely able to survive and made it to this planet.

After their arrival her father succumbed to his wounds he sustained by protecting her. Spending a few days in the forest fighting off the local wildlife, her mother was mauled from a pack of wolves, only seconds before she was saved.

She became stronger by feeding her hatred for Frieza. Her siblings who died in the explosion, her parents who protected her till the end. She swore to herself that she will rip apart Frieza with her own hands. For that she had to be the strongest she could be. As if she could lose here!

Pure anger filled her mind.

'I will kill Frieza even if it means my end, as if I would lose to the likes of you! I will crush you, Myrmidon!!' Her last thoughts before her mind went blank.

The stomp connected but the arm didn't break like expected. Giving out growls, she slowly stood up. Her black hair rising into the air, her body bulking up a little, a golden aura started to blaze around her body.

The Myrmidon without being able to hold her down, took a few steps back. Fear evident in his eyes as they met her white eyes. Eyes without irises aiming at him, like an enraged beast.

"Haaa!"

Cana stood up, turned to her opponent and dashed towards him.

He sent a few ki blast trying to stop her, but it couldn't even stall her for a second. Her fist crashed into his face, sending him flying dozens of meters.

Sliding across the floor before he hit something. With a bloody broken nose, he turned around, and only saw a barrage of fist, pummeling him into the ground of the stage. Extending the crater forming around his body with each hit. For a few seconds only screams and racking of bones could be heard. He became a bloody mess, before his coach could throw in the towel.

Broly saw the whole fight, witnessing the awe-inspiring aura which Cana suddenly produced. His eyes widened, as he came to a realization while he saw her transformation.

'This is… the Pseudo Super Saiyan!'
