A/N: After Goten and Trunks were disqualified, Hercule now finds himself going face to face against 18. But despite his fears, this might not be it for Hercule just yet.

Hovering over the after having flown off from the tournament due to them being found out, Trunks and Goten were currently hovering over the city.

Trunks: Man, that was a total bust! How did she manage to find us out like that anyway?

Goten: 18's guaranteed to win the tournament now.

Trunks: The only way she managed to get to fight that guy last was only because she probably spied on us or something.

Before Trunks could continue to try and figure out how 18 managed to know it was them, he and Goten soon took notice of someone off in the distance flying over a part of the city towards the tournament.

Goten: Hey, is that......?

When they managed to get a good look at who it was, they were able to identify them.

Goten: Oh hey, it's Videl.

Trunks: What's she doing flying around here?

Goten: I don't know how, but I know how to get her attention.

Trunks: What do you mean how to get her attention? All you need to do is yell and......

Goten soon started doing bird noises.

Goten: Caw! Caw! Caw!

This managed to get Videl's attention as she turned to him and gave a confused looked from the fact that he was cawing like a crow.

Videl: What the hell. Why is Goten cawing like a weird crow?

Goten: Hey, it worked!

Goten yelled before flying over to Videl.

Trunks: you could have just done that with any kind of yelling!!!

(At Babidi's ship).

You all soon arrived at the initial location that Babidi had sent you all to. You got a look around where you were as there were lots of large rock ranges, a red colored sky and even red colored water.

(Y/N): Well, isn't this quite the setting for a battle with a demon.

Dabura: And here we are. So, how doe this fit? I doubt any of you have any quarrels with this place.

Groudon: Gonna be fairly honest, I wasn't exactly expected what just looks almost like any rocky area on earth ever, except the sky was red and the water was a red-ish purple.

Dabura: I can assure you this spot is much different from anywhere on earth.

Frostwing: No, it's really more of the same honestly.

Gohan: As long as it's not in that tiny room, it's all good for me!

Gohan said as he got into a battle stance.

(Y/N): Just be sure not to get too overconfident in the fight or anything.

Back at the tournament, Hercule was pretty much shaking in pure fear as he was having to face off with 18 now. And after seeing what she did with Trunks and Goten when they were disguised as Mighty Mask, he feared that this was likely the end of him and his carrier at this point.

Herule's Mind: Come on. The champ can't be beaten, much less scared, by some blonde woman who was just fighting a bunch of kids. She doesn't stand a......

Once 18 got into a battle stance before quickly charging directly at him.

Hercule's Mind: OH F**K!

He jumped, closed his eyes and raised his arms over his head as he braced for the coming impact. After a moment or two, Hercule opened his eyes and looked to see what had happened. At the moment, he didn't seem to see 18 anywhere in the direction he was looking in.

Hercule: d...... did she leave?

18: no.

Hercule screamed before 18 wrapped her arms around Hercule's neck and got him into a headlock.

Announcer: and 18 goes in with a gnarly headlock!

Hercule: Wait, Wait, Wait! Hold up! Please don't kill me! I got a daughter! I'll do whatever it is you want from me! I swear!

18: keep whining like that and I might consider on actually killing you.

Hercule quickly shut his mouth as he tensed up.

18: now listen carefully and speak softly so no one can hear your big mouth.

Hercule: yes, ma'am.

He whispered.

18: first things first, you want to win more than anything, don't you?

Hercule: ye.... yes that's right. I can't let these people down with such an upset!

18: then I'm going to let you win this one.

Hercule: oh, thank god......

18: on one condition.

Hercule: damn it!

18: I allow you to win this match. And in exchange, you will hand over 20 million zeni to me. Is that understood in that head where you have all that ego housed in?

Hercule: 20 million zeni? Are you serious?! That's way to much money to hand over!

Announcer: It does appear to be as if Mr. Satan isn't moving at all. Could it be that 18's headlock appears to have the great Mr. Satan is no match for his new current opponent?!

Random Guy: No way! Mr. Satan's got this! Come on, take her out!

18: in case you forgotten; you'll win 10 million from winning this tournament alone. All you have to do is shoulder the other 10 million. Sounds fairly cheap if you ask me.

Hercule: b...... but.....

18: your option is very limited. I'd suggest making your choice quickly. Unless you don't really care and just want me to knock you out.

Hercule's Mind: kn...... knockout!

In Hercule's mind, a scenario began to play out in his head in where 18 knocked him out. In that scenario, people were booing Hercule and cursing his name.

Random Guy 1: You suck!

Random Guy 2: Your no champ! Get the fuck out of here!

They yelled as they threw stuff like cans or trash at Hercule as he was walking away with his head down in shame.

Random Guy 3: Let's purge his place!

Crowd: Yeah!

They yelled as the image of his place being blown to bits was shown.

Random Guy 1: Yeah, fuck his place!

Then the scenario transitioned to some sort of quick moment between him and Videl.

Videl: hmph, I call Gohan daddy now. At least he's not a weakling.

(And yes, that is Interpreted as you might think it is).

He was soon snapped out of the scenario playing in his head when 18 tugged at his neck.

18: times up. I want an answer at this point.

Hercule: Alright! Alright! You can have it all. I'll pay you once this is all over!

18: Then it's settled. A pleasure doing business with you, sir.

She said before she quickly let go of Hercule and flung herself off of him and near the edge of the ring.

Announcer: Oh my! It would seem that Mr. Satan has successfully flung 18 off of him!

Random Guy 1: yeah! You're the man, Satan!

18 was getting up on her feet as Hercule was still pretty shocked at the moment.

Hercule: um....... what actually just......

18: well hurry up and come at me!

It seemed to have finally snapped in Hercule's head as his shocked face turned back to the cocky and arrogant look.

Hercule: hahahha! I've seen through all your little tricks! They won't do you any good this time! As formidable as your skills maybe, you are no match for the might of Mr. Sat......

18: just go already, you moron!

Hercule: Yes, ma'am.

He said before quickly charging at 18 and engaging her with a multitude of punches either near the face or right at her chest. Unsurprisingly, these punches did absolutely nothing to 18.

Announcer: I don't believe it folks! Here comes Mr. Satan's counterattack! There's no possible chance for 18.

Hercule continued to unleash a wave of punches onto 18 before she soon lifted up her leg and kneed him in the crotch. Prompting Hercule to let out a quick but light squeak.

Hercule: I thought he had an agreement!

He said in agonizing pain.

18: 2 things. 1. Just because I said I'd let you win; doesn't mean I wouldn't hit back. 2. That was for aiming those fat sausages you called fists at my tits!

Hercule: I can barely take even one of those hits of yours!

18 soon sighed in annoyance.

18: fine, just grab me, throw me and then try knocking me out of the ring with whatever stupid finishing move you've got.

Hercule: yes, ma'am.

18: just say you've got it.

Hercule: got it.

He said before grabbing 18 and throwing her over him. She was sent to the other side of the ring and landed on her feet before Hercule turned to her.

Hercule: hahahaha! This is the end of you! Best say your prayers!

He yelled before charging at 18 and moving his fist back.

Hercule: get ready for my special attack: Satan Miracle Special Ultra Super Megaton Punch!

18: all that for a punch?

Hercule's fist connected directly at 18's face. 18 of course didn't even flinch and everyone in the tournament area was basically silent.

18: was that one little punch seriously your finishing move?

Hercule: yes...... I mean, for the time being.

18:......... you are definitely holding your end of the deal for this.

She said before she flung herself off of the ring, giving Hercule the win. Two whole minutes passed before Hercule soon broke said silence as he turned to the direction where the announcer and the other part of the stands.

Hercule: Did any one you see that?! That might have looked like a plain old ordinary punch at first glance, but only after a few seconds is it able to send out a strike greater than that of a nuclear explosion. Though of course, I had to hold back a bit.

18: Oh give me a break.

She said as she rolled her eyes while sighing and standing up.

Hercule: None the less, that is just part of the power to the Satan Miracle....... uh........ Beautiful Super Energetic Punch!

18: he can't even get his stupid attack named correctly.

The crowd soon began to burst out cheering for Hercule.

Hercule: And there you have it folks, Mr. Satan is the victor of the the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament!

(At Frostwing's place).

Cella: Bull. Fucking. Shit!

Cella yelled in annoyance over the fact that 18 apparently lost to Hercule. As she did, Zangya had her hands over Crystal's ears again.

Zangya: Still seems pretty weird that she just apparently lost to him. That afro haired bastard couldn't leave a dent in a truck, much less even stagger 18. She had to have lost on purpose.

Back at the tournament, they were shooting off fireworks in celebrations to Hercule's victory in the tournament.

Hercule: still the number one champ!

As Hercule was gloating over his victory as the crowds cheered his name.

Crowd: Satan! Satan! Satan! Satan! Satan! Satan!

Hercule continued his gloating until a passing 18 stopped by him near the ring and caused him to stop and looked down to her while his eyes widened.

18: I'll be stopping by your place tomorrow to pick up my 20 million zeni. Be sure to have it. And if you don't. Well, you should be at least smart enough to know what'll happen if you don't.

She said before walking off. Hercule only let a light frightened squeal as she was doing so.

(Meanwhile).

Up above the city that they were floating over, Videl appeared to have just gotten done explaining to Goten and Trunks about where You and the others had went off to.

Videl: And that's really about it for why your dad and everyone else headed off.

As she said that to the boys, they appeared to show visible excitement when she mentioned the stuff like Babidi and Majin Buu.

Goten: a....... wizard?

Videl: well, actually he's a mage.

Trunks: and a Majin?

Videl: yeah that's what I.......

Trunks: Do you know what this mean, Goten?

Goten: yeah.....

Videl looked at the two confused before they both shouted.

Both: It sounds so totally dangerous and kick ass that we have to go!

Videl: Wha.....?!

Goten: I can even feel mom's ki coming from that way!

He said while pointing south away from the city.

Trunks: great, we'll find it in no time!

Videl: hey, wait a minute you two. You're not seriously not thinking about going there, are you?

Trunks: Of course we're going! This tournament was a total bust. Me and Goten want a much better fight than all the lame stuff today!

Videl: Have you two not even considered on how dangerous this'll likely......

Before she could finish her sentence, Trunks and Goten turned Super Saiyan and took off in the direction where you and the others were.

Videl:..... you've got to be kidding me.

As Goten and Trunks were still flying, Goten decided to ask Trunks a question.

Goten: hey Trunks, I have a question.

Trunks: what is it?

Goten: what's a Majin?

Said question appeared to have caught Trunks off guard as he yelled and accidently fell in the water.

(Meanwhile).

Floating far high above Babidi's Ship, Towa and Mira along with Shadow Mewtwo were observing how things were going.

Mira: It would appear that the Saiyan-Pokémon hybrid is ready to face off against your brother.

Towa: Indeed it does.

Mira: Do you believe we should intervene for Dabura?

Towa: No, my brother will do fine against the likes of Gohan. We still need to focus on collecting the energy we need. Besides, I want to have Goka and Buu in the same place with each other when the time is right.

Mira: And of the Legendaries should they get in the way when that time comes?

Towa: With the current amount of energy Mewtwo should be enough to have him take them all at once.

Shadow Mewtwo remained silent as he looked at his shoulder crystal, which was still cracked from the damage it sustained from you seven years ago.

Shadow Mewtwo's Mind: you will not get so lucky a second time.

Back inside Babidi's ship, Gohan still in a battle stance as he was glaring down at Dabura, who was simply waiting for Gohan to make his move. After a second or so, Gohan jumped and disappeared and reappeared up above everyone. Gohan dived down at Dabura as he was preparing to land a kick on the demon king, who got into a stance to block the attack. The battle of the Saiyan hybrid and Demon King had just begun.

A/N: Abruptly ending this chapter just as the fight was started? You bet. Besides, it gives me more time to put a little more of the fight in the next chapter.
