"The martial art matches between fighters, selected by the gods of destruction from universe 6 and 7, will now commence! Now then, let us all sing the Universal Anthem."
The light dimmed with the exception of one that pointed in the middle of the arena where a singer stood.
*orchestra starts playing*
The singer took a deep breath to start singing.
"…♫The universe is really vast! ♫"
The light brightened again, and the music stopped. The gods didn't seem flustered at all, only the mortals were perplexed.
'Was that it? One sentence??' They were dumfounded and looked around to see if anybody else thought this was weird.
"Thank you very much! Now it is time for the first match! The first competitors are…"
The presenter pointed at a floating marble oval board, which depicted the 10 fighters of these two universes.
"From universe 6: Contestant Frost! From Universe 7: Vegeta will be stepping into the ring!" As soon the presenter's voice fell, the two fighters jumped onto the arena.
They stood opposite each other and had a short stare down. Suddenly Frost spoke out with a smile.
"Good day." Frost approached Vegeta and extended his arm to greet Vegeta, but Vegeta didn't have any of it. He only wordlessly stared at him with crossed arms.
Seeing Vegeta being unresponsive, Frost smile twitched slightly. "Well, understandable. We are all a bit tense right now."
He then walked past Vegeta and approached universe 7's spectator area and started speaking to them.
"Ladies and gentlemen from Universe 7. It's unfortunate that we find ourselves divided into allies and enemies in this manner, but this is no more than a competition. I believe that afterwards, we will all be able to shake hands and say that this was a pleasant meeting. If you would, please enjoy our fight. Thank you for your attention."
Frost bowed slightly before walking opposite of Vegeta again. Vegeta was a bit surprised at this different demeanor compared to Frieza, but he guessed that there still was a problem with this Frost Demon.
How, you may ask. Through the two Saiyans of universe 6 that sneered and had an expression of disgust when looking at Frost, while he was holding his speech.
Maybe in universe 6 this Frost and the Saiyans had a conflict with each other as well and due to that Frost was an enemy to the prince of all Saiyans as well.
The two faced each other and with a ki blast of Champa that hit a giant gong, the first match started. Frost cracked his neck and then dashed towards Vegeta.
Vegeta was cautious and directly noticed that Frost tried to jump above him. Vegeta leaned backwards, put his hands on the ground and kicked upwards.
Frost was surprised at the quick reaction and hurriedly blocked the kick midair. His body shot into the air. Frost quickly stopped himself before he flew into the barrier, which would be out of bounds and his loss.
Just as he stopped a purple blinding light got brighter from the ground. Frost watched as a light beam headed his way.
He looked at the barrier behind him and even though he could have blocked it in his assault form, he wasn't sure if it was now enough to prevent him from being disqualified.
Without holding back, he transformed into his final form. The blinding light of his transformation withstood and even pushed away the Galick Gun from Vegeta.
Vegeta stopped his attack and looked at Frost, who appeared in his final form. "Hmph. Finally done playing around?" Vegeta asked as his hair turned golden and high amount of ki gushed out of him. The concentration created lightning that flowed around is body.
From the energy Frost had leaked, Vegeta knew that this Frost Demon was far stronger than Frieza back then.
Frost didn't seem to be surprised as he looked at the transformation and neither were the other members of universe 6.
Frost had hoped that the Saiyans of universe 7 were inferior to the ones in his, but after seeing that the mentor of his biggest eyesores was a Saiyan from universe 7, he had already suspected their overwhelming strength.
"It's is difficult for me to control my power in my final form. For this reason, I once accidentally took the life of an evil-doer whom there was no need to kill.
Ever since then, I have kept my final form sealed up, but I suppose you will be able to handle this form."
"Hmph. Enough talking." Vegeta motioned Frost to come at him with a battle lusting smile on his face emerged. "Bring it on!"
"I hope you won't regret it!" Frost shouted out and once again dashed towards Vegeta. This time, however, his speed was far superior to before. His body seemed to teleport from side to side as he approached Vegeta.
"This is my full power!" With a scream Frost punched out. Vegeta swayed to the side a bit before abruptly spinning around. He evaded the punch and directly counterattacked with a tornado kick.
Frost, stunned that his attack missed, was directly kicked in the face. His body skidded along the ground of the arena before he found his footing again.
The arena underneath his feet released a bit of white smoke as he stopped his body from advancing. Frost didn't let himself be distracted and headed into battle once more. This time Frost kept up his cautiousness and fought it out with Vegeta.
Broly looked at the battle with obvious interest. "So, you were lucky enough to get trained by Whis." He casually said out loud. Goku turned towards Broly. "Indeed, we are far stronger than we used to be."
"Oh? Do you mean Super Saiyan 3? Of course, Whis would have helped you achieve that form."
Goku wasn't surprised that Broly knew of Super Saiyan 3. He nodded at Broly's response.
"Yes, this transformation is exceedingly strong, however, Vegeta still needs to reserve his strength for the next battles." With that Goku turned to watch the battle again.
Broly smiled slightly as he looked at Vegeta's fighting style. Although he was surprised at their increase in their base strength and their acquiring of new transformations, that wasn't what intrigued him in this battle.
Vegeta was being suppressed in raw power and speed, but his martial skill easily closed the gap and gave him the advantage.
He used Frost power against himself and was able to increase his damage. It was obvious that Vegeta's style was being tailored towards stronger opponents and exploiting their inadept martial skill.
It was rather inappropriate against Frost as his martial skill wasn't bad, however, Vegeta was still far superior and therefore manhandled Frost like he was a display model. Vegeta even looked at Broly when he pushed Frost to the ground as if to say he would do the same to him.
In other words, Vegeta had trained to fight against Broly. Of course, Vegeta didn't know that Broly wasn't just using raw power to overwhelm his opponents. He only fought this way to mess with the Z-fighters back then.
Vegeta tilted his head as he evaded a punch and turned around. He grasped Frost arm and swung him towards the edge of the arena.
He immediately followed up with several ki blasts that sent Frost out of the ring. Vegeta hadn't taken a single hit, while he was beating up Frost in close combat. Frost poison needle that he had implanted couldn't show its effects against Vegeta.
"The match is over! He's out of bounds! Contestant Vegeta from universe 7 wins!" The spectators of universe 7 cheered for Vegeta.
Broly clapped with an amused smile on his face as he looked at Vegeta. "Go Vegeta! I believe in you! Defeat them all! Uhhhh!" Broly sarcastically shouted out, which earned him quite some menacing stares.
He didn't bother with them and continued his cheering. The picture on the oval board of Frost dimmed to show his loss.
"Moving on, the next fighter from universe 6 to face contestant Vegeta is contestant Caulifla!" The line connecting the pictures of these two lit up.
Caulifla jumped onto the arena while rotating her shoulder. She had a fierce smile on her face as she looked at Vegeta. "I hope you can give me a good warm up." She said while starting some light stretches.
"Hmph. I will beat you into a bloody pulp, you little brat!" Vegeta was mad and fired up after Broly's mockery, even more so when Broly started cheering for Caulifla.
"Go my disciple, show him the strength of a real Saiyan!"
'I want to see your face after I knocked out your disciple!' Vegeta's face darkened as he heard Broly's shouts.
The spectators yelled traitor at Broly, even Beerus' face was twitching as he heard one of his contestant cheer for the other side, but before he could say something, Broly stopped.
Beerus took a deep breath before speaking out in a deep threatening voice. "Remember, which god you are fighting for."
Broly only gave a nod still with a slight smile on his face. Beerus didn't bother with him anymore and shot a ki blast at the gong that announced the second fight of the tournament.
