DBZ: The Tournament of Skills

Not open for further replies.
The second the match started, Ikose went on the offensive, clearly agitated by Xeno's statement. However, Xeno wasn't going to punish him right away; like with Tempest, she sought the approach to first find a momentum in the attacks to ensure her own counterattacks were justified, thus preventing her from being the aggressor. Ikose moved in with a fierce right punch, only for Xeno to counter it with an uppercut, before using her Snake Arms ability to snatch Ikose by the ankle and toss him to the ground, making sure the impact was felt, but not hard enough to cause any fractures.
 
Ikose grunted as he got up, while Xeno was wobbling casually back and forth on her heels, evidently uninterested and therefore showing how little respect she had for him, especially after he insulted her husband. She didn't consider him a worthy opponent, which only agitated him and made him charge at her again.
 
Xeno in the meantime casually blocked the punches and kicks from Ikose due to them lacking any style or form, before she smacked him out of the ring with a roundhouse kick, winning the match.

"Silly Ikose, you should think twice before you open that gap between your nose and your chin if you know what's good for you." Xeno said.
 
"Well, I actually am more thinking of hosting a tournament of my own." Brachi then said, surprising someone next to her.

"Your own tournament?" A female next to her sat.

"Yes, Celicia, but I'm changing the concept as what is used to here. Instead, I want to host a tournament between myself and my friends only, where it's not about power, but about skills." Brachi replied.
 
"But how will you set it up?" Celicia asked.

"As I want to have everyone to have their bit of fun, I'm actually planning to create multiple tournaments under a single banner, so everyone whom has specific skills and abilities will get their time to shine." Brachi replied.
 
"Well, I'll see what I can do. I'm here to see how far Tempest and Xeno will go." She said, moving to see the third contestant, blinking as it is Gina.

"It appears my sister wanted to join in on the fun." Celicia said, smiling.
 
"We really need to stop visiting Area N." a guy in a blue jacket says, waiting in the crowd. "This universe hopping is tiring."

"I know what you mean, Vent, but let's try to make the most of this." A blonde in a red jacket with glasses replies. "A tournament could be fun."

"For Nova. Neither of us are martial artists, Giro. We'll get creamed out there."
 
"What makes you say that?" A female voice asked them from behind.

Sitting behind Vent and Giro was a blonde-haired woman with gray eyes, wearing a white, short-sleeved shirt and a pink dressed, being it almost reminiscent of a waitress of a cafetaria. This is the Basic Android Guard named Anne.
 
"Oh, nice to meet you. My name's Vent." The blue bomber replied.

"And I'm Giro. A pleasure to meet you." his senior joins.

"I think we'll get annihilated if we go down there because we're both weapons specialists and this is a martial arts tournament."

"And I think this could be a fun experience for us. Besides, we're both pretty solid natural athletes."
 
"My friend Sheila can also handle weapons." Anne said with a smile, "she has a wide variety of regular weapons and customized armed vehicles."

At the same time, Gina entered the ring, wondering who her opponent was as she adjusted her jacket a bit, getting ready. Her opponent also entered the ring, smirking at her.
"This is going to be easy." He said, getting ready as he didn't think much of Gina.
"That's what you think." Gina said, entering a fighting stance.
 
A few meters from the main entryway, a group of three individuals stood at the entrance. Gogeta held a large piece of parchment awkwardly above his head, furrowing his brow as he closely examined the markings in front of him.

“Huh, this thing is completely off. There should be a mountain right here according to the map.”

Kassava’s right eyebrow twitched heavily, her arms crossed while her finger tapped angrily onto her bicep muscle.

“That’s because we’re not in our universe, idiot. Did you not figure that out from the massive portal you decided to fly into.”

Gogeta frowned, lowering the map away from his face as he turned to her.

“It wasn’t just my idea, you know.”

Kassava’s eyes widened, angrily flinging her arms up.

“It was entirely your idea! You were the one that just said-“

She contorted her facial expression in an exaggerated manner of excessive stupidity, intentionally deepening her voice.

“-Hey guys! Let’s go fly into this strange portal we know nothing about because I’m Gogeta and I like adventures!”

Gogeta kept his frown.

“But Vegetto likes adventures too. Right, Vegetto?”

He perked his eyebrows, turning his head towards Vegetto who was busy staring up at the markings on the wall. The other warrior blinked, feeling the eyes of the other two on him, and turned back to them with a somewhat stern yet blank stare.

“Huh?”

Kassava narrowed her eyes, her hands on her hips and her tone threatening.

“Go on and answer the question, honey.”

Vegetto blinked in confusion, glancing between them both while the agitation grew in Kassava’s voice.

“Do you like getting lost on adventures or not?!”

Vegetto raised his right eyebrow, his dual voice flat.

“I’m not a fan of being lost, but I suppose it makes things more interesting.”

Kassava threw up her arms at the response, rolling her eyes.

“Oh great! Yeah, more interesting!”

She angrily flared back at Vegetto, turning on her heel.

“If you’re wanting something more interesting, how about you sleep on the couch! You can have tons of interesting adventures there!”

Vegetto’s eyes widened, blinking in confusion.

“What?! Hey c’mon! You asked me a question; I just gave you my opinion! Don’t be like that, Kass!”

Kassava snorted, starting to walk away.

“No, it’s fine! Just take Gogeta here with you since you two love to get lost on adventures together! You don’t need me!”

Vegetto turned his head to Gogeta, scowling at the other fusion.

“Damnit Gogeta, why’d you have to go and get me in trouble like that?”

Gogeta shrugged his shoulders, turning his head around.

“Not sure...but do you feel that?! It looks like people are fighting in there!”

Gogeta suddenly waved for Vegetto, breaking out into a small jog up the main ramp.

“C’mon!”

Vegetto kept his frown, timidly turning his head to where he watched Kassava walk off towards, before following after Gogeta into the stands.

====

The two fusions sold side by side at the railing, having just emerged into the stands with the other rows of spectators behind them. Gogeta leaned on the railing, watching the setup for the fight with Gina.

“Huh, look! They’re just about to start!”
 
Brachi heard the three voices behind her as they entered the stands.
"Well, looks like we have more visitors here now that the third match is about to begin." She noted.



At the same moment, the match started as the male opponent charged at Gina, who first blocked the initial punches of her opponent with ease, before she used the opening in her opponent's moves to quickly deal two gut punches before knocking him backwards with an uppercut, surprising him.

"Go for it, sis!" Anne shouted to her sister from her place within the audience, cheering Gina on.
