And with a smile, the blonde announcer said-
"Due to these technicalities, Yamcha will remain in the tournament and Goku will pass onto the next round due to our judges seeing that he had much more self-control and skill in his moves."
"I hereby declare Son Goku as the champion of the first match, and with that, the next match will proceed as normal."
"Contestants Ken Masters and Krillin of the Turtle Style, please make your entries!"
Hearing that Krillin over on Master Roshi's side quickly jumped over the brick wall separating contestants and spectators –
With a newfound will to grow stronger after witnessing my power last Budokai-
This Krillin was certainly no pushover- he was going to win this tournament.
Master would truly witness his rise from the annoying- and calculative little impure monk to the one we all know and love- he was going to show his development.
With a confident stride he entered as soon the spectators began applauding as he performed amazingly in the previous Budokai.
Meanwhile, the man named Ken Masters merely glanced down at his opponent- he was his same height 5' 9 to be exact-
With a sculpted body screaming Adonis and a head full of black hair – with 9 incense burns on his forehead clearly indicating his path of enlightenment-
And his confident stride emitted meant he was confident in his strength, technique and mind.
All components on the very life force we are created from- courage, strength and right-mindedness.
Ken smirked at the warrior as he remained indifferent before cupping his hands together as a sign of respect-
Replying Ken did the same thing as then the two got into their stances.
Both following the split path of Mutaito- as one was part of Goken's studies while the other was part of Roshi's studies.
One focused on absolute focus on battle while the other incorporated emotion into the mix-
Said to be the strongest and most renowned way of fighting- and most lethal if used that way…
Ken Masters- was in a red gi with sleeves off and brown gloves-
With his blonde hair let down and his blue eyes glaring into Krillin's soul-
Almost like a Super Saiyan in appearance just missing the great aura brought upon by the intense condensed power in one being.
"Now let the battle begin!!"
Immediately as if a trigger word- each being struck at each other- and as if a games cutscene time stopped as in mid-air their elbows clashed together-
Causing shock waves to emerge- causing all the popcorn and drinks in stands to fly about- causing messes.
But everyone's eyes were placed on the screens in the air flying about due to not being able to actually witness the fighters movements due to them being too fast for the human eyes to even visualise.
Due to this factor- Yamcha pitched the idea of high record cameras that have A.I's installed on them to evolve every fight they capture so that the audience is not left bored and lose interest in the battle.
I could see the small Capsule logo on the screens- with an image of me at the back- I was basically Mr Satan with my influence-
I wondered why my friends didn't do the same and let that afro haired fool hog all the glory- I mean in the memories I read.
I was the only successful one there being a baseball player making my money having multiple properties killing it with assets.
Though unfortunately, I wasn't going to become a Taitan today.

"Come on then- Let's turn up the Heat!!"
Exclaimed Ken loudly as he rushed forward with another elbow attack- however, it was deflected by Krillin's wrist-
Before he then turned his hand and blocking the attack with a palm and then a hold onto his shoulders.
On hold of his shoulders, Krillin grabbed him forward before flipping over and smashing the blondes head into the tournament tiles like nothing.
Causing a light wince to come out of his figure as he quickly propelled himself upwards in the air before he shot down a seemingly endless barrage of Ki Blasts-
"Shinku Hadoken!!"
And then a massive blast of Ki was felled through the air as it then smashed the air resistance like a knife through butter it reached its destination or cutting point.
"Take this- Haaa!!"
Krillin just in the nick of time condensed his own Ki as he let out an equally powerful Kamehameha wave at Ken's own Hadoken.
This caused another whirlwind to form around the audience as they all gasped in amazement.
However one particular person in the crowd with a jutting out afro stared at the figures in the tiled combat arena with focus and dedication as if he could visualise each and every movement.
He had decided to become an upright martial artist and truly train-
He did not wish to let the name Satan fall into ruin due to their multiple fraudulent performances performed by him and his numerous fellow apprentices.
Due to this taking it into his own hands he left to travel the world for three years and in that time actually learnt how to utilise Ki and manipulate it properly.
From ocean to ocean he travelled only with his own body no transportation was used as this was his way of growing stronger.
He trained with the master of the one who won the Tenkaichi Budokai as well as had his apprentice brothers and sisters help him hone his skills.
Learning the ways of the turtle hermit- but decided to not enter this tournament as he was busy with Miguel.
And in the near end of his three-year journey, he finally managed to find the Tribe under the Neko-Sennin.
Learning their ways he integrated with them as he learnt of their skills and techniques before he was deemed worthy to finally climb the great World Tree.
That was covered in ornaments by the tribe to prevent evildoers from accessing the Neko-Sennin's domain.
It was an arduous task as his Ki was negated while climbing the tower meaning he needed to break multiple barriers within his own body and so the climb made him stronger than ever before-
Whilst increasing his backs strength and his grip increased as well.
Finally, he reached the top and there he met the Neko-Sennin.
He learnt his ways and finally found that the true meaning of the arduous climb and integration of the technique and skills one's body learns in the climb-
You have to memorise that feeling of pain and condense it into courage and power.

"Shinku Hadoken!!"
And then a massive blast of Ki was felled through the air as it then smashed the air resistance like a knife through butter it reached its destination or cutting point.
"Take this- Haaa!!"
Krillin just in the nick of time condensed his own Ki as he let out an equally powerful Kamehameha wave at Ken's own Hadoken.
This caused another whirlwind to form around the audience as they all gasped in amazement.
Instantly both Ken and Krillin's faces were drowned out by the massive burst of Ki released from both of their palms.
Causing multiple groans to fill the air as they both seemed to be equal in power and finally, Ken gave out-
Krillin won as with another wave he washed Ken straight out of the arena –
Landing him into the grass meaning he was disqualified.
However, it seemed that he wasn't bothered and instead happy he'd met a rival in the path of martial arts.
Ending his time with a quick handshake and smirk he made his way out to the lounge where he'd wait to see Ryu perform.
• Number One Akuma VS Son Goku = Son Goku
• Number Two Ken Masters VS Krillin = Krillin
• Number Three Ryu VS Bulma
• Number Four Tenshinhan VS Yamcha
"Contestant Krillin will now move onto the next stage- with the next match being between Contestants Ryu and Bulma."
"That was an amazing beam struggle- done by Krillin and Ken-
But it seems Ken's endurance was wavering as determined by his loss- still a great battle."
———_______———
With similar applause, Bulma and Ryu entered the arena as they got ready to battle-
With the announcer's nod, the battle began as immediately Bulma charged up her Ki converting it into Frost.
Before immediately striking it at Ryu instantly the tiled floor was coated in sharp glaciers with frost emanating from Bulma.
She rushed straight in the battle forming an iced gauntlet before striking a solid punch on Ryu's shoulder.
This was because in the midst of battle he quickly sidestepped away though it didn't help as he was still attacked by the solid punch that did a dent on him- literally.
But the worst part was that from his shoulders down the frost began spreading trying to coat his arms in it-
And with no other choice, he quickly rotated some internal energy before defrosting himself.
All while shooting multiple Hadoken's from one arm at Bulma-
Causing her to flip and counter each attack with her own Ki blasts.
Finally, the frost dissipated as layers of steamrolled off of his body before he quickly used his move Quick-Step.
Sun Tzu's Art of War- clearly captured the figure as he was just like the description described in the famed guide.
Ryu was as fast and gentle as the wind if not faster, he possessed the calmness and quietness of the forest, he was as fierce and audacious as fire and he was as immovable as Mount Tai.
Without hesitation, he stepped back up even though he was blasted numerous times and this only heightened his determination.
The eternal challenger, with seemingly no end to his journey- just what is he grasping- just why is he fighting?
No one knows- yet the fight still breathes on within him- it engulfs him as he tries to find an opponent stronger than him.
With a roar, he exclaims to the skies above-
"I SHALL NEVER REST… as long as the breath of fire vibrates within my very being- I WILL FIGHT!!"
His drive to never back down- never lose and never give up- breathes his very strength as his inner fire emerges with its untold fury.
Quickly he forced Bulma into close combat as his every swing and kick only further highlighted her faults- her flaws- her weaknesses.
"Could this be- The end? This spectacular battle of each style is so captivating, it has enraptured me into the battle-
However, it seems Contestant Ryu has the edge in this battle!!"
Seeing this the Announcer began speaking loudly causing the audience to roar in a frenzy.
Yamcha was now beginning to become aggravated as he witnessed the one he loved getting beaten down and hearing the sickening crunch of bone and back-breaking-
He wanted to enter the arena and stop it all- but was held back by his friends.
Both Krillin and Goku began trying to console him- however the urge to rush there and stop it only increased as he witnessed his partner losing so badly-
He knew she needed more training- yet he allowed her to join and now- now it was backfiring.
"Yamcha- stop," said Krillin as he carried on.
"Allow this battle and let it play out, intruding would only be disrespectful to the arts and styles of the opponents."
Finally, Goku stepped in as he managed to console the Wolf Fang warrior.
"We all get hurt and if your going to be like this imagine what she feels every time you train, spar and fight to break your bones and rip your muscles- endure the pain she endures for you."
'Damnit he's... He's right-'
Each of Ryu's swings only revealed opening after opening as even though she had great power- she could not utilise it properly.
And with a final moment of destruction- she spammed multiple shards of ice straight at Ryu's body.
However, with his growing power, each shard dissipated in his range turning into a vapour that trailed the skies.
"Great power you possess- yet you fail at battle- listen well!"
"Range... Speed... Priority... Focus."
"Know and master all of your attacks!!"
With this final sentence, Ryu clenched his fists before punching Bulma in her guts with flame coated fists before he utilised a quick Shoryuken to her chin.
With a jumping, spinning uppercut he sent her flying out of the ring with multiple broken bones and a busted chin she was sent flying out of the entire Budokai Stage.
"And would you look at that- Contestant Ryu has seemingly ended the battle with a punch to the gut with rib breaking consequences and a spinning uppercut straight to her chin- the winner has been verified as Ryu!!"
"A fearsome battle this has been- with multiple amazing displays-
Just who truly will win this Budokai- Find out in 30 minutes after dinner!!"
• Number One Akuma VS Son Goku = Son Goku
• Number Two Ken Masters VS Krillin = Krillin
• Number Three Ryu VS Bulma = Ryu
• Number Four Tenshinhan VS Yamcha
Since Bulma had been sent flying and landed on the ground in a crater due to her Injuries Ryu had won-
He was incredibly skilled as he seemed to have the whole battle within his grasp.
Each move, block and counter seemed to have been visualised by him multiple times before he attacked.
And so rightfully he was the winner.
