------------

Kakarot stepped out from behind the wall too, and everyone cheered for him. No one in the entire audience sounded like they had anything to jeer, even those who applauded Tien. And the gang went crazy.

"GO KAKAROT!" Chi-Chi shouted.

Krillin joined in from his spot, "YEAH, KAKAROT! BEAT THAT CREEP, NO MATTER WHAT!"

"This pint-sized warrior serves the Turtle Hermit, Master Roshi, who coincidentally just happens to be the archrival of Master Shen. Aside from the fact that he received second place in the last tournament, Kakarot's list of victories would leave even the most veteran fighter green with envy. He most certainly dazzled the audience with his one-throw dismissal of the ferocious female combatant Chi-chi, and the amazing disappearing act he used to unceremoniously remove Krillin from the ring in the previous match. His average fight time is thirty-three point five seconds."

Gohan hummed as he sized Tien and Kakarot together, "This should be one incredible finale."

"We're with you, Kakarot!" Gine heard Bulma calling, then startled when there were gunshots fired. Gine knew that was Blonde Launch without even looking.

"Stop with the yackin' and start with the smackin'!" She demanded, people around them look at her with fear and consternation. Bulma's cheers died down as she looked around them, embarrassed by the scene.

"Typical." Oolong summed it up. It was then they realized that Roshi was suddenly missing.

"He said he went to find a better seat." Gohan answered for him. And they all turned back to the ring.

"Now the battle to see who will become the Champion of the Twenty-second World Martial Arts Tournament begins. Get Ready!"

Kakarot and Tien turned to face each other. Kakarot looked ready to pounce on the three-eyed man while Tien looked at her son with such hatred that he seemed to burn holes where he starred into Kakarot's eyes. She could almost feel the tension between them as it was a tightly wound coil ready to snap.

The crowd suddenly went quiet, as the drums sounded off, faster and faster. Both combatants got into stance, and both looked eager enough to kill each other. She wondered if it would come to that...

The gong sounded at last.

"MAY THE BEST FIGHTER WIN!"

Kakarot charged before the announcer ended his sentence. Tien punched to counter, but Kakarot dodged a split-second faster and wrapped his tail around Tien's leg. He uses it to swing around and land a punch on Tien's face, sending him flying back. He landed on his feet to spring high up. Kakarot charged up with a flying kick to go after him, but Gine could see it was right into a trap.

"DODON RAY!" Tien fired, Kakarot couldn't dodge and was hit by the heat blast. The force of it sent him crashing into the ring, making a deep crater.

A collective gasp of horror came from everyone, seeing the fight turn so vicious so fast. Tien landed next to the crater, gloating. The crater was deep enough that Kakarot couldn't be seen in it.

"Short and sweet." Tien said aloud to himself. Gine scoffed, how could he think he would win so easily?

The crater rim trembled and burst in pieces as Kakarot flew out of it laughing. The crowd cheered at seeing him emerging unscathed.

"He shouldn't scare us like that!" Bulma complained.

"It'll take more than a little fall to stop him." Said Launch.

Kakarot landed a few feet from Tien, his gloating replaced with bemused disappointment.

"You're gonna have to do better than that!" Said Kakarot, and charged at Tien. But then Kakarot side stepped, and his form disappeared.

"He's vanished again! Truly one of Kakarot's greatest techniques!" Said the announcer.

At least to everyone else, Kakarot vanished. But Gine could see her son's movements. She momentarily glanced at Tien and became concerned when she saw that he seemed like he was starting to see Kakarot's movements too.

"TAG!" Tien shouted as he side-swiped his arm, and Kakarot suddenly appeared where Tien had smacked him out of his superspeed.

"Now you'll know what it means to suffer the wrath of Tien Shinhan!"

He charged after Kakarot midflight and plowed him into the ring entrance's wall in the gut, Kakarot yelling in pain. Tien then lets out a barrage of crane strikes on him while Kakarot was pinned against the wall, his feet not even touching the ground yet. Everyone was horrified by the sight, and Gine swore she heard Chi-Chi sounding hysterical, begging Tien to stop hurting him.

Come on, Gine thought to her son as if he could hear her, emulating Gohan. She was sure he couldn't since she just heard of this ability, but she was going to try. You could survive this, get out!

Tien kept punching like a machine gun until stopping for a moment to then ground pounded Kakarot, sending him bouncing off the floor and coming to stop on his back, not moving. Gine gripped the side of the spectator wall without realizing she was putting cracks in it, unable to look away and will her son to get back up and punch in Tien's face. Why was he not fighting back?!

Tien walked up to Kakarot, grabbing a fistful of his gi without any resistance and lifting him off the ground. He laughed at how battered and in pain Kakarot looked.

"Don't die yet, I've got a special technique I've been saving just for you." He menacingly said to Kakarot's unmoving form.

"This could turn out to be the shortest finale in the tournament's long history. What will Tien Shinhan do next is anyone's guess, though I'll wager it won't bode well for Kakarot."

Bulma couldn't stand to watch what was happening. "Poor Kakarot." She and Chi-Chi started to cry.

Yamcha tried to sound encouraging, "He'll pull through, don't worry."

But Launch wasn't having any of it. "Come on kid, you've got tougher skin than that!"

Gine never heard more truer words in her life, and Kakarot was just taking the abuse without fighting back. And somehow, Gine felt spurred on by Launch's declaration to speak up for once, "Wake up, son!" Gine yelled. "You are a Saiyan warrior! Show that pathetic human whose boss!"

A group of spectators next to them, fans of Kakarot judging from how they cheered, looked over to Gine. One of them asked to themselves, "What's a Saiyan?"

Gine looked away like she was caught. So, she pretended she didn't hear them and focused on the ring.

Tien tossed Kakarot into the air then turned around to face the audience, his friends in particular. "The Volleyball Technique!" He shouted.

As Kakarot fell, Tien clutched his hands together and hit the smaller boy up into the air again. Kakarot fell and Tien struck him higher and higher, again and again like a beach ball. Tien looked like he was having fun more than seeking vengeance.

"It looks like Tien's unusual technique is exactly what it says! He's toying with Kakarot like a volleyball and setting him up for a spike!"

After the last strike, Tien jumped higher than Kakarot was thrown. "Get ready! And... SPIKE!" With one really hard punch, Kakarot was sent slamming back down to the grou

nd like a meteor. Making yet another deep crater.

"NO!" Gine heard Chi-Chi cry out.
