no, I'm not dead. I was just booling in a separate locale. 

I do NOT own any of the material used in this story. 

Enjoy!

Roshi and Piccolo stood together as the Phenex Peerage closed in on them. 

Riser: A green man and a geezer?! That's who Son (y/n) brings to the Azazel Cup?! 

Roshi: I think it's time to teach these youngsters a lesson. Don't you agree, Piccolo? 

Piccolo: Yeah. These guys are starting to get on my nerves. 

Roshi: Well then, start charging that attack of yours. 

Piccolo: The Special Beam Cannon?! 

Roshi: That one. 

Piccolo: That takes some time to charge. Can you hold off all of them? 

Roshi: Don't start underestimating the Master of the Turtle Hermit Style! 

Piccolo: So be it then... 

Piccolo brought two of his fingers near his forehead as a yellow light appeared in it.

Azazel: Look at the fighting stage. It's been cracked in half...

Shiva: Not only that but many fighters fell into the abyss as a result of Crom Cruach's battle. 

Ajuka: How many are left? 

Sirzechs: 4 in Issei's, 3 in Rias', 2 in Vali's, 2 in Sitri's, 2 in Bael's, 15 in Riser's, 2 in Dulio's, and 1 in Cao Cao's. 

Azazel: How many in (y/n)'s? 

Sirzechs: All of them.

All 8 of Riser's pawns rushed at Roshi, swinging an assortment of blades and chainsaws at him. They even threw demonic energy blasts at the old man, not letting up one bit. 

Roshi yawned as he simply weaved between all of the attacks. 

This seemed to only agitate the girls as they unleashed the same attacks. 

Roshi: Too simple. All of you are unbalanced and lack proper training. 

He swept the leg of one pawn and pushed her into another, making them both fly out of the arena. 

*Ni and Li have been eliminated!*

The two chainsaw wielders attacked Roshi, but he just pushed them out of the stage as well. 

He proceeded to make quick work of the other pawns and soon emerged victorious. 

Roshi: Are we finished here?

Riser: Bastard! Mihae! Karlamine! Xuelan! Isabela! Take this loser down! 

The four women rushed towards Roshi, the two rooks striking him first. 

Roshi dodged their attacks as they continued their onslaught. 

The sword user, Karlamine, got behind Roshi and swung her blade down on him. 

Before the blade could make contact, a blast hit her from behind that made her fly off of the stage. 

*Karlamine has been eliminated!* 

Roshi turned around to see that Piccolo had fired a Ki Blast to protect him, all the while charging the Special Beam Cannon. 

Roshi: Focus on your attack instead of me! 

Piccolo: A "thank you" would suffice! 

Roshi threw the two rooks to the side and attacked the Bishop, easily knocking her off of the fighting stage. 

*Mihan has been eliminated!*

Roshi: I haven't had a workout like this for some time! 

The two rooks charged Roshi once again. 

Roshi: If you're going all-out... 

Roshi concentrated all of his energy into his body as his frail form turned into that of a muscular man that would make even the fittest of people jealous. 

Roshi: Then so am I!!! 

The girls were thrown off by this sudden transformation as they stopped their attack, giving Roshi ample time to unleash his signature attack. 

Roshi: Kamehameha! 

The signature attack of the Turtle-Hermit pushed both of the rooks off the fighting stage and into the World of Void. 

*Xuelan and Isabela have been eliminated!* 

Roshi: All right... 

Riser: This can't be happening! 

Roshi: How much longer, Piccolo?

Piccolo: Only a minute. 

Roshi: A minute, huh? I'm pretty sure I could take care of these guys in a minute. 

Riser: Don't you start talking all big, Old Man! 

Riser's Queen put her hand on his shoulder to reassure him. 

Yubelluna: Don't get worked up by the likes of him, Master. We can defeat him. 

Riser: Yeah... You're right! 

Riser teleported behind Roshi as Yubelluna stayed in the front. 

Riser: Take this! 

Riser shot a powerful blast of fire from his hands while Yubelluna did the same from her wand. 

Roshi, being in between both attacks, used two energy blasts to counter that attack. He pushed his Ki Spheres into the flames, but the two attackers doubled down on their fiery assault. 

Soon, Roshi overpowered the two, making them stagger backward. 

Riser: How can an old man have so much power?! 

Yubelluna shot another blast of fire at Roshi, who blocked it with both of his hands. 

Suddenly, Riser came up from behind and struck Roshi in the back, sending him into Yubelluna's flames. 

Roshi was left with burn marks on his body and with some of his clothes burnt. 

Roshi: What a dirty trick... 

Riser: All's fair here. 

Roshi: Really? 

Riser: Huh?

Roshi got up and teleported in front of Riser, who panicked and shot a fire blast at him. 

Roshi teleported at the last second and appeared right behind Yubelluna. He kicked her into Riser's own attack, making her fall off of the fighting stage. 

*Yubelluna has been eliminated* 

Roshi: All is fair, correct? 

Riser: Bastard! 

Roshi: Kamehame... HA!!!

Roshi's attack hit Riser dead-on, whipping up a smokescreen. 

When the smoke cleared, Riser had a gaping hole in his stomach. 

Roshi: Oh no! 

Riser smiled as the hole in his stomach closed itself. 

Roshi: Huh? 

Riser: Heh... As a member of the Phenex Clan, I can regenerate and heal wounds instantly! 

Roshi: All right! 

Riser: What?! What are you so happy about?! 

Roshi: Piccolo! Don't hold back! 

Piccolo: Fine by me! 

Riser: What going-! 

Riser saw Piccolo in the back, charging his attack.

Riser: No! This was your plan all along?! I won't let this happen! 

Riser shot his most powerful fire blast right at Piccolo. 

Roshi: No! 

Roshi teleported in front of Piccolo right in time to take the blast head-on. 

The blast completely knocked him out and pushed him to the edge of the fighting stage. 

Piccolo: You bastard! I've got a gift for you!

Piccolo pointed his two fingers right at Riser. 

Riser put up a wall of fire to defend himself, but it was too late. 

Piccolo: MAKANKOSAPPO!!! 

A thin, white beam pierced Riser's wall of flames and his stomach as he began to fly off of the stage. 

Riser: But... How... 

The thin, white beam turned into an orange, spiraling beam that completely pushed Riser off the fighting stage. 

*Riser Phenex has been eliminated!*

Piccolo rushed to Roshi, who had burn marks all over his body. 

Roshi sat at the edge of the stage, barely conscious. 

Roshi: Did'ja get em'? 

Piccolo: That I did. 

Roshi: Ah... I'm just going to take a short nap... These old bones can't last forever. 

Piccolo: You do that. 

Roshi leaned back and fell off the fighting stage, content with his performance. 

*Muten Roshi has been eliminated!*

17: This tournament is reaching it's vital stage.

18: We currently have the advantage with the most remaining members. 

Xenovia: But that could change in an instant. There are so many powerful warriors here. 

Frieza: You shouldn't worry... There's no way that we can lose! 

(y/n): I wouldn't be too sure... Powerful warriors, huh? Gasper!

Gasper: Y-Yes?! 

(y/n): Come with me. 

Xenovia: Where are you going? 

(y/n): To see if a friend of mine has heeded my advice...
