Bojack Unbound

A/N- Since this movie has Goku dead, we're just gonna have to keep him in that state. Don't be mad at me though! Trust me, I thought of allowing Goku to live but it's just not gonna work out for this. Besides that, we're gonna just go with the flow. Hope you enjoy reading. :)

Chapter 9: Welcome To Battle Island!

"Argh! My nose! You're gonna pay for that kid!" A man with orange spiky long hair threatens me after I punched him in the nose.

We were at the edge of the huge circle-shaped platform. The guy, thinking that it was all over for me, jumped into the air and came back down with a kick. Simply arching my back backwards, I allowed the careless man to fall into the water beneath us; disqualifying him from the intergalactic tournament.

To get a break from studying for a day, ChiChi had kindly allowed Gohan and I to compete in this intergalactic tournament that the wealthy millionaire, X.S. Cash, designed himself. Apparently, everyone gets the chance to compete in this tournament if they want to.

In order to seperate the hundreds of fighters who applied, we were all assigned to one of the eight different large circle platforms randomly. Luckily, I wasn't placed at the same stages with Gohan, Tien, Trunks, Piccolo, or Krillin. I really desired to compete with at least one of them in the next round. Anyways, all I know is that whoever wins every round, they get to compete with Mr. Satan for the championship belt.

Since there was about a hundred more people to eliminate at my stage, I raced towards everyone and began kicking and punching people unconscious in one strike.

A person with red boxing gloves caught me off guard and struck me square in the face. Fortunately, being as strong as I am, I didn't feel a thing.

I almost laughed when the boxer began attacking me all over my body. I was having too much fun!

Catching his fist, I touched his face with the tip of my finger, making him fall backwards unconscious.

On pure instinct alone, I threw my leg back and felt something connect with it. Sure enough, after turning around completely, another person was attempting to ambush me. About twenty others realized how much of a threat I was becoming and decided to attack me all in a group.

I hopped back and pushed my foot against the platform forward, then came speeding through all of them with gentle jabs to their stomachs and face. They all fell to the ground after I made myself a clearing through the over-populated aisle.

I sighed deeply and brought my hand to my face.

Why is this so easy? I'm starting to wish that I was assigned to one of my friends' stage.

"Go Gohan! Beat 'em up! You can do it!" I hear ChiChi cheering on her son in plain view; waving her fans around as if she was some cheerleader.

Gohan was on the stage next to mine. The way he fought was very quick and simple. He bounced to all his neighboring opponents and either puched or kicked them with no effort.

Look at him go.

Like many other times before, I found myself folding my hands together; staring at my boyfriend with googly heart eyes while a deep blush covered my face. I haven't seen him fight in his orange gi and blue undershirt since our fight with Cell and Eternal! He's just so...

Noticing my focused attention on him, Gohan turned his head. Now he was looking straight at me! The half-saiyan began rubbing his head with a raised eyebrow.

I immediately stopped watching him like a creep and shifted my attention back to my stage, feeling a little embarrassed. It has only been about two weeks since us two became official. I guess I was still stuck in what I call, "The honeymoon phase". As I continued back, my eyes kept turning its attention back at Gohan, who was now grinning at me. My heart skipped a beat.

AHHHH! He's smiling at me! Gohan's really smiling at me!!

Knowing that he only had a few left, Gohan turned back. He resumed what he was doing.

Because I was so focused on the spiky-hair boy, one of my own opponents was able to gain the advantage, tossing me over to the center of the stage by swinging my tail over him.

I sprung up and rubbed my tail. "Argh! My tail!"

Man, I gotta watch it...

I shook my head very fast. The image of Gohan grinning at me like that was giving me butterflies in my stomach. Get him out of your mind, Tania!

The guy who was responsible for the sneak attack took big steps towards me; cracking his knuckles as he continued. When the wolf-man smirked an arrogant smirk, I shot him a cold glare.

"You don't wanna mess with the big bad wolf. Do you, Little Red?" It teased me.

Not saying a word, I got into a stance. I knew this was only going to take a few seconds.

"You're ignoring me?!" The wolf-man charged at me while sharpening his claws and fangs. "I'll show you why ignoring me will be your final regret!"

Using as little strength as I could, I punched the wolf-man. It was then that I realized his image went right through me. He was using the afterimage technique!

Gotta admit, that was pretty good...

Feeling his presence behind me, I turned to see him throwing his long claws down at me. Swift like a eagle, I placed my hands down on the stage.

But... That's not gonna be enough, so...

Missing his target, I took the chance and slammed my two feet up to his chin. End result? The wolf-man got sent packing.

I just gotta win this tournament.

"Yeah Tania!" I overhear ChiChi again. Gohan's mother twirled with her fans in an elegant fashion. "You show these punks what you're made of!"

I felt my skin flushing. This was pretty embarrassing.

"I can't believe Gohan, Trunks, and Tania entered the tournament. Just my luck..." I could slightly hear someone mumbe to themself.

That voice... Sounds familiar...

I scanned the area but saw everyone only fighting eachother. There was a long white pole ahead of me by the edge of the platform.

Hearing the person's voice again, I ascended into the air and found Yamcha laying on the top.

"Yamcha?"

Once seeing me, Yamcha shrieked.

"Oh no! You found me."

"I didn't know you were competing in this tournament." I tell the human man.

Yamcha allowed himself to get comfortable again and said, "Well, here I am."

Yamcha seems sad.

"I might as well give up right now. Oh, one hundred million beautiful zeni." He sighed heavily.

"Aw, come on Yamcha. You don't really wanna give up, do you?" I try to motivate him.

"Of course I do. You, Gohan, and Trunks are in the tournament."

Floating to the surface of the pole, I attempted to get Yamcha back on his feet.

"What are you doing?"

"What does it look like? I'm trying to get you back onto your fe-feeeee ahhhhhh!"

For some reason, the pole had been bended somehow, causing me and Yamcha to begin our descent to the water with a loud yelp. My hold on him became disconnected.

Because I wasn't thinking straight, I didn't use my ki to fly and almost fell into the body of water with Yamcha. However, before I could suffer the same fate as my friend, I felt my tail wrap around something tight.

My tail was hanging on for dear life on the way edge of the stage. I breathed out a sigh of relief and watched Yamcha pop his head out of the water.

"I'm super sorry!" I apologize to him.

"Aw mannn." He gurgled.

Using my tail, I flipped myself back onto the battle arena. Phew. That was way too close.

"GOHAN HAS PASSED THE PRELIMINARIES!" The announcer of the tournament declares, catching my attention.

I whirled around. Gohan passed already?

"TRUNKS WILL ADVANCE!" The announcer announced.

Trunks too?!

"Gohan!" I call from where I was. The older boy looked at me.

"Congratulations!" I clap.

"Thanks Tania." Gohan replies appreciatively. "But um..."

Suddenly, the platform I stood on lowered then began tipping backwards. While this was happening, the same happened to another stage. Everyone who was on either of these two unlucky stages began sliding down the platform and into the water; which is counted as a disqualification.

I tumbled and then fell onto my back; rolling backwards towards the end of the platform.

"Tania!" Gohan shouts in concern from his battle arena.

"Gohaaaaan." I yelp as I continued rolling.

Because the arena was so polished, I couldn't find or get a good grip on anything. I didn't want to cheat and use my ki to fly. I actually wanted to play fair since this was the very first tournament I ever competed in.

As I fell off the platform completely, I saw some sort of bridge thing my opponents made by grabbing onto the last person's leg.

I used their strategy and held onto the leg of the person above me. My feet was LITERALLY only an inch from touching the water. Everyone who fell after me had no chance of winning.

"TANIA!" ChiChi screams at the top of her lungs. The woman was going berserk out in the audience. "THIS IS ONE HUNDRED MILLION ZENI WE'RE TALKING ABOUT! LOSE RIGHT NOW AND YOU'RE GONNA BE GETTING SOME EXTRA HOMEWORK PACKETS FOR EVERY SUBJECT!"

My body froze. Di-Did she just say... Extra homework p-packets?!

Without even blinking an eye, I rudely began climbing on top of everyone.

There's no way i'm about to get unnecessary homework!

I used everyones heads as a way to push myself up onto another person's shoulders. As I did this, everytime I pushed my foot down upon their heads, I would cause them to lose their grip and each one of them would plummet into the body of water. It continued like this until I was almost at the top.

Meanwhile, the announcer declared that Krillin, Piccolo, Tien, and some other guys named Sky Dragon and Budo, advanced to the next round. Now, my stage was the only one left to see who moves on.

While I was trying to get onto another person, the line of fighters began to wobble. People were losing their grips. I only had a few seconds to climb onto atleast three more people before the three above me finally gave in to their aching arms. When I climbed onto the shoulders of the person above me, the person who was three above me finally gave in to their soar arm. I was now falling towards the water again. Out of desperation, I used a low amount of my strength to push upwards off of the person's shoulders to the fourth person above me.

I tugged onto their leg.

Only two more people to go! I got this!

The person who was holding onto the platform was someone who looked like an enormous sumo-wrestler. I struggled to climb on my next victim because he kept trying to shake me off as if I was some unwanted pest.

"Let go of my leg!" He yells.

I held a firm grip on him. "No! There's no way i'm going home broke!"

"Stay focused Tania!" I hear Gohan cheering me on from his platform.

Immediately after the man got tired, I climbed up to his shoulders, then his head; pushing down on it to get to the last guy.

"YEAH!" ChiChi kicked into the air. "GET 'EM!"

This man was hard to climb onto because of how wide he was. The only thing he wore was underwear! Some type of blue thong I think! I don't even think I can handle something as disgusting as this.

"You got this Tania! Just hang on!" I hear Krillin supporting me the best he can.

The big guy's skin was almost impossible for me to hang on to. His skin was jiggly and smooth at the same time. I had to resist the urge to not dig my nails into the guy!

"Doskoi! Doskoi!" The sumo wrestler speaks. He kept repeating this while trying to shake me off. By then, I was already on his back. Everyone in the audience was just observing things carefully. Meanwhile, I could see that people were trying to hold ChiChi back from getting out of her seat.

"Doskoi! DOSKOI!" The man shook his body like crazy. I was holding on for the sake of everything.

*Snap*

Before I could finish climbing over the very last person, a big part of the stage, where the sumo wrestler was holding onto, totally broke off.

"Eeeeeek!" I scream as the sumo wrestler and I fell together. I was still on his back as we plummeted. On impact, a huge bomb of water exploded to the sides.

"Oh no!" Gohan came flying towards me. For some reason I could still hear his voice.

Before the water settled, the announcer declared, "Well everyone, looks like this is a double disqualification!"

As the water sprinkled down, I realized that not a single part of me was wet. I felt like I was floating on something.

What happened?! Why am I not in the water?

"Tania..." Gohan's eyes was widened when he got to me. "Y-Your..."

I lowered my eyes. NO WAY!

"Hold on, ladies and gentlemen!" The announcer speaks again. "TANIA IS STILL ABOVE WATER! SHE MOVES ON TO THE SEMI-FINALS!"

The crowd roared with claps and whistles.

From what I was clearly seeing, the sumo wrestler had fallen on his belly and being as large as he was, caused the water to spread only to the sides; making me unable to get wet. The guy was floating before I could fall in the water with him. Since I was on his back, gripping on his skin, I was left dried and declared the winner.

"YAY! I won! I won! I won!" I jumped on the guy's back.

Gohan scratched his head. I think that he was still trying to figure out how I got that lucky.

Since there was no need to surpress my ki, I pushed it up and floated into the air. I went to Gohan and hugged him.

"Why didn't you use your ki?" He asks.

"I didn't want to do that. It would have been unfair." I answer with my arms still wrapped around his neck.

"Oh. Right. Congratulations. I'm really happy that I get to watch you in the next round, Tania."

Gohan embraced me, but he was holding me tighter.

*lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub*

I can hear Gohan's heartbeat. So fast... and warm...

~~~~~

After everything was settled, the announcer announced the matches for the next round.

1st Match: Budo vs Gohan

2nd Match: Tien vs Trunks

3rd Match: Piccolo vs Krillin

4th Match: Me vs Sky Dragon

"Awww, I wanted to fight someone stronger." I whined after watching the T.V. screen.

"Atleast you know you're definitely making it to the finals." Krillin says to me as he slugged his shoulders down. "I can't believe I got to fight Piccolo."

Poor Krillin...
