Chapter 23

Amina: Why?

Y/n: Why what?

Amina: Why make the situation worse?

Y/n: Why not? It just makes them more wrong when I win.

Amina: But it seems like your going too far to prove your point.

Y/n: Hmm... not really.

Sage: Tension seems to be reaching its boiling point though.

Y/n: Well, yeah pretty much.

Amina: But-

Skip: What happens after?

Y/n: What do you mean?

May: Your relationship with the royal family.

Liz: They'll practically hate you.

Taz: Never live it down.

You have them a smirk.

Y/n: Who said they'll be the ones in power?

Kore: Oh no.

Y/n: Oh yes.

Amina: You're not thinking-

Y/n: I am... I am.

Neros: It's not impossible.

Kore: It's not far from reach either.

Skip: That's crazy.

Y/n: At this point, if I beat the prince. Then...

Amina: Then what?

Y/n: A revolution is in hand.

Amina: Revolution? How-

Y/n: After I've proven my point, I'll gather anyone who has the will, desire, or strength, physically and mentally; to overthrow the dictatorship we have as our head in society now.

May: Before wasn't it something else.

Taz: It was something like equality for all.

Sage: At this point, a conflict between the low-class and elites is bound to come.

Neros: A lot of damage has already been done.

Y/n: When there's change, there's change. No going back.

Amina: What if, let's say, a civil war happens that ends up destroying the planet.

Y/n: Relocation.

Liz: Where?

Sage: That'll be kept a secret... for now.

Taz: Do you know such a planet that is inhabitable for the saiyans? Besides this one.

You, Sage, and Neros looked at each other while giving nods.

Y/n: Yep. But habitable or not, it wouldn't really matter.

Liz: It wouldn't really matter?

Y/n: Yeah, our bodies were made for fighting. Therefore, we can adapt to any planet, anywhere, with any types of weird conditions.

Liz: Woah, cool.

Y/n: Yeah, anyway... Quarterfinals.

Skip: You don't have to fight tho.

Y/n: I know, but I'm talking about Sage and Neros. Just-

Sage: End it right away.

Y/n: Yeah.

Neros: No point in holding back know

Ring Announcer: Final stages everyone, and this will be way shorter than thought. Two opponents have forfeited their match before it was time to fight.

Leaving Contestant Y/n and Prince Victor to win and proceed to the next fixture while finding a spot in the semi-finals! The only two matches that we'll see before Round Six are... Contestant Sage vs. Contestant Yuton, and Contestant Zyen vs. Contestant Neros!

Round Five was short, very short. Two matches where the opponent retired before it was time to fight. Then, Sage and Neros had it easy as they basically got the "leftovers".

They were about twice as strong as the elites, so as usual. One-shots, easy wins. There was no need for an ever exhausting match, it would just be a waste of energy.

Ring Announcer: Incredible! We just finished the quarterfinals in about five minutes or so, and that was including them getting ready and coming into the ring!

The crowd wasn't shocked at the instant wins, at this point, it was part of the formula.

Y/n: There we go. Nice and easy.

Neros: So.

Y/n: What?

Sage: Semifinals.

Neros: How's that gonna go?

Y/n: We'll fight each other... I guess.

Sage: Sparring... but with all our power.

Y/n: Well.

Neros: Should we cut to the chase?

Sage: What do you mean?

Neros: Forfeit. Get to the final right away.

Y/n: No.

The three of you stood where you were for some time. Wondering what the game plan should be now.

Sage: I'll go up against Prince Victor, I'll tire him out and one of you two finish the job.

Y/n: You sure. Don't you wanna be in the final, oldest son to represent the family.

Jokingly, Sage replied.

Sage: Nah, because if I lose most of the blame will be on me. So if anything... It'll be one of your guy's fault.

Neros:*small laugh* Wow. On point with that reasoning.

Y/n: So, me and you pal.

Neros: I guess.

Sage: Either way, he does, really hate you, so. Not our problem to start with.

Y/n: Wow, *chuckle*.

Sage: Just kidding. We'll all go with all we've got.

Neros: But we will show them our power.

Y/n: And how our bond always makes us stronger.

Sage: Teamwork.

The three of you put your fist in a circle.

Neros: Skill.

Y/n: Is.

Sage: Better.

Neros: Than.

Y/n: Strength.

Minutes later.

Ring Announcer: Time to see who will be competing with who for a place in the tournament finals! We have four distinct fighters, who will prevail!

In the fighter's room.

You're warming up for the upcoming match vs. Neros. It isn't confirmed, but you already know how the draws gonna be. But throughout this, your main focus was the potential final vs. Victor. How will things turn out when you win?

Thoughts while warming up.

Y/n: Time for a change, time to show them who we are. Skill>Strength, Determination>Raw Power; always have to remember that. Having heart is what makes a true fighter out of someone.

A true fighter fights for protection, or a purpose. Here, I'm going to show them that even the lowest of the low, or the ordinary, can do something special. Elites aren't always the best.
