Chapter 2: The Fight For Freedom
The week passed quickly and the women as well as the men practice long and hard. Bulma pushed herself even more than any of them. She knew Vegeta was strong and she couldn't lose this battle. Yamcha would be so crushed he would try to challenge Vegeta and end out getting himself killed. The day came and all the competitors were on either side of a large fighting ring in the middle of the palace. Vegeta had closed off the doors so that their battles would be private. Bulma was very nervous. She had teamed up with Chichi to fight Kakkarot and he had managed to defeat them. She knew Vegeta was stronger and she only hoped that her training had been enough. Chichi looked at Kakkarot and blushed. She could see the guilt in his eyes and she could tell he didn't want to hurt her. She also knew that Kakkarot never lost a fight and never would. Juuhachigou glared at Krillin and Krillin glared right back. She couldn't tell if he was acting tough again or if he really was as tough as his face indicated. His body didn't tell much for he was short. She would find out soon enough.
"The rules are this" Vegeta started ignoring the challenging glares from Bulma, "no killing. If you fall out of the ring you lose. If you fall unconscious you lose. And if one of you girls should win, you can challenge any of us who has beaten one of your friends and try to rescue them."
"WHAT!" the girls said in unison at this new rule.
"That's right. If Juuhachigou beats Krillin and Kakkarot beats Chichi, then Juuhachigou can challenge Kakkarot and if she wins Chichi will be set free as well. But if she loses then she must become the mate of Krillin as if he would have won in the first place."
The girls and guards nodded in understanding and watched Vegeta for additional instructions. "First up," he said, "Kakkarot versus Chichi."
Kakkarot and Chichi got on the platform. The other two girls watched carefully and cheered on their friend. The fighters met up in the middle where Kakkarot said, "please try your best, and I hope I don't hurt you."
Chichi was appalled at his sweetness but decided to act angry and said, "YOU SHOULD TRY YOUR BEST CAUSE YOUR GOING DOWN!" Kakkarot frowned slightly and nodded. Chichi threw a punch at his face which he blocked with ease. She sent punches and kicks all over the place, disappearing and reappearing behind him and throwing more hits. She couldn't land any. He blocked or dodged every single one of them. He sighed and sent a kick right in her stomach which sent her flying in the air. He transported behind her and crashed her back down to the floor. Kakkarot landed next to her picked her up delicately and threw her off the ring. She landed with a thud and struggled to get back on her feet. Bulma and Juuhachigou helped her up and wiped the blood off of her mouth.
"I'm sorry Chichi, "Kakkarot said softly, "I really am." Chichi let herself fall to the floor and cried. She was now to become his mate and she couldn't do anything about it. Vegeta gave Kakkarot a congratulatory smirk as he walked back to their side.
"Next up," he said getting the girls' attention from the crying Chichi, "Krillin versus Juuhachigou."
Krillin and Juuhachigou walked on the ring. She turned to look at Chichi and said, "don't worry I'll beat him and then I'll challenge Kakkarot, don't worry Chichi I'll save you."
"Hah, you wish," Krillin said firmly. She still couldn't tell if this was all his act or if he was as strong as he said he was. She flung herself at him and punched him straight in the face. Krillin's face was pushed back but his body stayed in place. He smirked as she punched him in the stomach. Juuhachigou growled and sent her strongest punch at his face again. She was shocked when his hand caught hers easily.
"What the..." she said as Krillin smirked. He twisted her arm roughly making her scream and flew up in the air continuing to twist her arm. When they got up too high Krillin stopped and released Juuhachigou's arm.
