Note: I would like to start this chapter with a poem. So, here it is:
Scattered on the ground,
Like the dry leaves in autumn,
When finally gathered by someone,
Only to be incinerated in his heart's fire,
Didn't ask any question,
Didn't even make a noise,
Just provided heat until the very end.
DEAN'S POV—
Yamcha also won his match. Unbelievable, but sometimes miracle do happen. Just when Tien's match was about to be started, my eyes fell on someone, who was looking at me intently. It was Junior. He has also won his match. He smirked when he saw me looking at him. I turned away from him and waited for my match to start.
Tien won his match. Getting down, he said, "Good luck, Goku. I hope we will fight against each other in the finals."
I smiled, "Yeah, me too."
The announcer announced my match. I got in the ring. Infront of me, there was a nameless individual. It's not that his name is nameless, I just don't fucking care about his name.
The bell rung. He tried to punch me, but I caught his hand and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying out of the ring.
"THE WINNER OF THE MATCH IS GOKU!!"
The rest of the matches were over. Apart from me, Yamcha, Tien, Krillin, Junior and some others qualified as well. As the preliminaries were over, every contestant started to prepare for the next round.
"You have won the rounds very easily, Goku," said an unknown voice.
I turned around to see who it was. It was Hero or to be better, Kami. He continued, "You must be surprised to see me in this form."
Keeping up my act, I lied, "Ah, do I know you? I am pretty sure; I haven't seen you in my entire life."
"I am Kami, Goku." He is an idiot, isn't he? To say his name just like that, some god he is.
I acted to be surprised. I yelled, "KAMII!!"
"Shush!!!" Kami put his finger on his lips and motioned for me to keep quiet. I blocked my mouth with my hands and nodded.
He continued, "Good. Goku, listen to me. Don't tell my identity to anyone, and call me Hero. Understood?"
"Yes-yes, I understand. But why are you here?"
Of course, I knew why he was here. He wants to seal his evil form's child/reincarnation. Alas! He would fail, and would be sealed instead.
He replied, "I am here for Junior. You must have already known about his real identity." I nodded my head.
"Yes, I know that's him."
He said, "I am here to defeat him for once and for all."
"But I have defeated him once. I can do this once more. It would be—"
"No, Goku!! You can't defeat him now. Not when, he has increased his strength this much. I will be one to fight him, Goku. And that's final."
I reluctantly nodded. I said, "Fine. If you want so, then go ahead. I won't stop you."
He smiled, "Good luck for the quarter final, Goku. Maybe we could also fight against each other too."
"You bet!!"
With saying this, he went away, leaving me alone with my thoughts. If I were to believe cannon then, my fight would be with ChiChi.
