The Adults come out to fight! (Part 1)

I stand across from Tenshinhan in the ring. We both have our signature stances ready as we begin to greet each other while John is waiting for us to acknowledge something about our history.

I grin and say out loud, "Looks like the turtle school and the crane school clash once again eh Tien?"

The trip eyed man grins at this as he lowers his stance and ignites his ki a bit, "Indeed! Only the crane school shall prosper this time!"

As Tien ignites his ki to be just past advanced human level. Spopovich and Yamu are both on the side lines looking at their equipment and ask, "Are they good enough?"

Yamu shakes his head as he answers, "Negative, they are stronger than hercule. But not by much. We'll need to wait to see the other matches to get a good reading of possible sacrifices for the Masters plan."

They both focus on the fight as Tien and I both fire our ki to around 2,000 and clash.

Keeping it to the level of Frieza soldiers helped the audience enjoy the show. And helped Hercule not piss himself at the thought of fighting one of us.

We punched, kicked, countered, redirected, and even threw each other around the ring. And the whole time we were grinning using our original martial arts again. Instead of relying on non stop energy blasts to win the day.

It was refreshing and a feeling I hadn't been able to enjoy since before the fight with Frieza. Now I think I know and understand why Akira Toriyama put these tournament rounds in again. It was for us to remember how we started. And that martial arts skills still helps out in fights.

It's not as prevalent in our current strength and skill levels, but it is still needed.

We punched and kicked each other becoming perfect mirrors of each other for around 15 hits before we push off of the others legs and back flip mid air a few times before we both landed on opposite sides of the ring.

We readied ourselves for the grand finale to our battle.

Tien decided to bring out his classic dodonpa blast.

While I decided to go with the technique that never got old, the Kamehameha wave.

We both charged our skills calling out their names while charging. And the audience began to notice what each technique meant as we charged.

With a final call out we release our blasts at the same time.

The Dodonpa ray lands smack dab in the middle of my kamehameha blast and the struggle begins. I push a bit more strength while Tien does the same. However to really throw him off I do a quick pulse of Kaioken times 3 and send Tien careening back as the blast washes over him. He is now on his tip toes on the edge of the ring. While I am suddenyl in his face and going, "Sorry man... But I need to get to the finals. Got three kids to feed!" And flick his forehead making him fall out of the ring.

Launch groans in her blonde form at her hubby losing while everyone clapped and cheered at such a match.

Hercule is seating as he sees that he should have gone beyond his current training as it seems like some of his allies from the fight have found disciples to train and are pitting them against himself to see who deserves the title of chief defender. But he wouldn't go down without a fight!

I walk back with Tien, both of us chuckling over how the match went as I glare at the next fighter, Yamu is coming out to fight Sharpner who is flexing and doing air punches to warm himself up.

Orion yells from the stands, "Kick his butt man!"

Sharpner gives him a thumbs up as the fighters take their positions. We watch and keep an eye on Yamu as he suddenly growls and his evil ki doubles in power. he really doesn't want to lose this match. Sharpner might have a chance but it depends on how recklessly he fights Yamu to determine who will come out on top.

The match begins with Yamu rushing at Sharpner who is usually the first one to rush so he is caught off guard. Sharpner is suddenly on the back foot as he stumbles and tries to catch up to Yamus onslaught of punches and kicks. We all pay close attention as Yamus evil ki is coating his strikes. The bruises formed on Sharpner are quickly turning darker than they should. The teenager grits his teeth as the pain is building at the now 30 bruises that are dark purple across his body.

He unleashes his ki to max and manages to dodge the next 3 blows from Yamu in order to return them at the same strength level for a bit. Yamu yelps in shock at this as the boy he thought was a simply skilled fighter suddenly showed similar abilities to his current self. Only the ki was pure and not tainted with evil negative emotions.

Yamu grits his teeth as he takes a punch to the bicep, then a punch to his pectoral, then a punch ot his thigh. THis kid was weakening his stance by aiming for major muscles instead of his face or blocking!

Sharpner had learned more about fighting inside his opponents guard, not trying to brute force it but to swarm them. He had learned brawler style boxing, swarmer, southpaw, and any other type to supplement his boxing skills to their limit. And with the aid of the arena for training he actually had time to get to intermediate skill level with each one.

The boy grins as he begins to deal more and more damage to his foe. But Yamu wasn't idle either, learning each style and skill level Sharpner had with each new style he brought out allowed the evil fighter to learn the patterns and movements of the blonde and manage to slowly pick up the damage and recover the rhythm of the fight in his favor.

Soon Yamu dodges by ducking one of sharpners next combos and comes in with an uppercut that lands hard into Sharpners chin. The poor teen goes flying by a good 15 ft and lands unconscious on the ground. Yamu comes over to check but humphs in satisfaction at how the boy is out cold.

John calls it while Yamu walks down with a smug grin on his face.

We all glare at him as he walks by us and joins Spopovich on the side.We all growl while Sharpner is taken to the clinic and is joined by Tien to watch over him should his opponent decide to do anything else. The next pair is called and we grin at it.

Gohan goes against Erasa next and he takes this time to train her a bit more. Erasa pushes herself to show her growth to Gohan but goes a bit too hard and accidentally does something that makes us avert our gazes, Videl to steam in shock for her friend and for Erasa accidentally getting ahead of her for Gohans attention, and Gohan to sputter and go cherry faced.

Erasa tried to dodge Gohans punch using minimal movement, but forgot she was in her training gi, and not her tube top. So Gohans punch snagged onto her gi and pulled it aside to reveal her sports bikini top she had on, while her nipple was erect from the excitement of how handsome Gohan was and the fun of the fight. She eeps and jumps back.

Only to land outside the ring by accident. Many audience members laugh at this and Gohan sheepishly asks if she is okay. With a yes she and Gohan walk back while Gohan is declared the winner by ring out as they sheepishly return to us. I jeer him a bit while videl leads Erasa away to discuss with her about how they should approach a relationship with Gohan and both of themselves in the future since he is obviously interested in them at that point.

While we all go silent as Piccolo comes up next with his opponent Raditz.

We all go silent to appreciate a big match to watch. And see how well they will listen to their own limits.
