After all his work was done, 'Raditz' left the stage for some quick 'rest' and shortly afterwards Raditz walked out of the resting area.
Immediately, those few in the knowhow realised that Raditz was different from his usual self, he looked much more like a warrior.
All of his previous caricatures must have been a facade, is what the select few thought simultaneously, he was simply having fun because they were too weak for him to go all out.
If not this, his present self didn't make any sense whatsoever, Raditz's aura alone was making wind change direction.
"And now for the final bombastic battle! On the right we have Raditz! Our personal star!"
"And on the left we have Tien! A fighter who has no equal! Until now!"
But this time around cheers didn't flood the arena, Raditz's presence wasn't something they could cheer for, it was something more.
Multiple gulping sounds were heard throughout the audience, their throats were dry, so this was the full power of their hero, they wondered.
He was a Tiger and they were the rabbits, when he shows his presence, they tremble in fear, and Raditz was showing his presence alright, all 15008 bits of presence.
'He hid his strength..!'
Gripping his fist, Tien narrowed his eyes, Raditz didn't have such strength when he came to invite him, he was around twice as strong before, but now he is almost three times as powerful.
Still, a challenge isn't something Tien is afraid of, regardless if or not the audience cheered, he walked out.
The announcer also caught onto the fact that Raditz's presence was too overwhelming, so he began steering the direction accordingly.
"Such strength! I can feel it in my bones! Can you?! Can you also feel Saiyaman's power smashing into you!"
*..*
After a single second of wait, the first person finally got rid of his innate fear as his fanboy took over, his scream started a chain reaction.
*OOOOOOOO*
Finally getting rid of the bondage, the audience felt coming here was worth it, where else could they feel this trembling sensation, it was better than 3D movies!
"Looks like I am not the only one! But It's to be expected! Some of you might remember the previous winner of this world martial arts tournament, he was named Goku! And Raditz here is his older brother!"
"It runs in the family everyone, Goku destroyed the entire arena with his massive strength! But we have a tempered arena this time around, can Raditz achieve the same feat!"
The audience waited with baited breath as the announcer painted a picture, a picture that would let them cope with anything supernatural afterwards.
"Now it looks like I have said enough, both fighters are rearing to go, Tien, Raditz, please come onto the stage!"
Saying this the announcer simply walked off the stage, he was told to build hype and he did so, but he was also there personally when Ki attacks were common.
He had seen Roshi destroying the moon, Goku going great ape, he has seen the likes of Bacterian and Piccolo Jr wreaking havoc.
And he had seen the final fight of Goku and Piccolo, the entire stadium was destroyed and he survived by chance.
'Now it's Goku's older brother, let's hope this sturdy arena isn't going to breakdown too quickly.'
Having finished his thoughts, the announcer took two more steps back, because he remembered Tien too liked to use multiform technique and attack from all corners.
His job was difficult, but he loved it very much.
"Please begin! 3,2,1, Go!"
But being warriors, neither started the battle as soon as they were told to.
Getting into his stance, Tien told Raditz.
"You hid your strength."
It wasn't a question, it was a statement, to which Raditz nodded with his hands folded, taking no stance whatsoever.
This caused Tien to frown.
"Are you looking down on me?"
Having a relaxed body, Raditz smiled.
"No, I am infact using my best technique, let's call it Ultra instinct omen, it's not quite there yet, but I hope I'll have it figured out in this fight."
Raising his eyebrows, Tien took a closer look at Raditz's relaxed body, and now after seeing it with his third eye, he caught a glimpse.
Raditz wasn't open, he was infact covered in every direction, no matter which direction the attack comes from, Tien could see Raditz can defend.
"Amazing..!"
Murmured Tien, a very novel technique, but he will understand it even better if he personally went ahead and experienced it.
*Whoosh*
Without giving Raditz any more chance, Tien almost vanished from the eyes of the audience.
*Step*
Who promptly saw him appear besides Raditz's head, his leg extended in a kick, and Raditz's head tilted just enough for the attack to miss.
"Such speed! Nobody but the best fighters can see them coming! But worry not, for we have slow motion cameras!"
Raditz and Tien began their clash, which was more Tien attempting to hit Raditz at least once, but failing repeatedly.
As the red hot fight was going on, a specially made software processed their fight in real time, and showed it without the slow motion but making them visible in the frames.
Earthlings might be willfully ignorant and derive happiness from taking decisions based on emotions rather than facts, but now that their emotions were also triggered in this fight, and they could see what was really happening, they were totally onboard.
Anyway, this was thought up by Satan, and he knew what clicked and what didn't.
"Ha!"
*Bang!*
Finally a well timed donon ray managed to hit Raditz's chest, pushing him back as he quickly deployed his ki to defend the attack.
Patting his chest with a fearful emotion, Raditz wondered why he was again being hit on that spot he was drilled through before.
'Don't tell me, my chest is like Vegeta's arm? Always damaged?! Oh man that would suck so hard.'
Deciding to pay extra attention to his chest, Raditz patted his smoking armor, and looked at the waiting Tien.
"Sorry about that, this technique isn't perfect yet, thanks for waiting, now."
Narrowing his eyes, Raditz's hair began floating, as he crouched down in a stance.
"I'll begin my attack, try to survive..!"
*BANG*
A big fist is all Tien saw before his chin was hit, shaking his brain, but his eyes didn't lose foucus even now.
*Pisssh*
Three energy beams fired from Tien's eyes, almost hitting Raditz who dodged by instinct once again, and gave a roundhouse kick straight to Tien's neck.
*Crack*
*Thud*
Rolling onto the ground after a terrible cracking sound came from getting his neck kicked, Tien was shook.
Close combat with Raditz who was three times stronger than him wasn't good enough, if only his attacks hit he could still do something.
But Raditz dodged every attack he threw, he needed to make distance, and increase the number of people, if he wants to beat Raditz.
'I know how to win this.'
With this thought, Tien slowly rose up, cracking his neck once to remove the dull pain.
The audience meanwhile gasped, looking at the replay of the fight, and the glowing energy attack from Tien's eyes.
The announcer was telling something to the audience, but neither Tien not Raditz were paying attention.
They had something much more important, Tien was going to do something, and Raditz was looking forward to the technique, more he practiced more he'll get ultra instinct down.
