Anime Tournament of Power (ATOP)

Chapter 62: Dwindle

The stage was quiet, a lot less explosions were occurring across the stage. The heat of battle was dying down but it was assured to quickly pick back up. Soon enough, that is.

"According to my calculations, there are only about thirty fighters left on the stage." noted Genos who's mechanical was making whirring noises.

Tornado whined, "Did you just say thirty?! That baldy will never beat everyone here, he should just give up now!"

"No. I believe in Saitama, you should as well. When we battled each other I could tell that he only got serious at the end. He's no where near full power, when the time comes Saitama will show his worth." mentioned Boros.

Tornado looked at Boros, raising her eyebrow like he was insane. Sonic had his arms crossed over his chest and his eyes were closed as he sat in his seat irritated.

"Look I don't like the guy either but being brutally honest, Saitama is our only hope at winning this thing. I mean think about it, if you were still out there wouldn't you want to give it your all as well?" asked Sonic.

Tornado pouted her lips while complaining, "Unghh, since when did villains start rooting for the hero?"

Vegeta widened his eyes before he gasped, "Kakarot, do you sense that?!"

Goku still had one eye closed as he groaned in response, "Yeah, it's some wickedly evil presence. Creeping towards us, slowly."

Vegeta stood up on his while holding his left arm, attempting to spot the approaching enemy. Where are you?

After a seconds of pure silence suddenly Vegeta sidestepped to the left dodging a ground breaking stomp from Doflamingo who appeared to be smiling. Who is this guy?!

Vegeta flipped backwards a few times before tossing a ki blast at Doflamingo who simply swiped his hand across the air creating a shield of strings. The blue ki blast was sliced into pieces of four causing mini explosions to occur behind Doflamingo. He was still smiling as the wind blew against his furred jacket.

Vegeta grunted, "What a cowardly way to eliminate an opponent. While he's weakened. You should be ashamed of yourself!"

Doflamingo chuckled while placing his hand on his forehead, "Ashamed? Heh, heh, ridiculous. I could care less about your Saiyan pride, all I want to do is win. And the only way to do that is to eliminate your universe!"

Doflamingo dashed towards Vegeta, rapidly kicking his leg forcing Vegeta to begin dodging while stepping backwards. Doflamingo tried to land a spinning roundhouse kick but Vegeta ducked underneath his leg. Unfortunately his momentum carried his body up against a boulder.

"How unfortunate! I win!"

Doflamingo spun around once again, coating his leg with Haki, seconds before he prepared to land his devasting kick.

Vegeta grunted as he put his arms up in order to guard but Doflamingo's kick sent his body right through the boulder. Vegeta tumbled across the stage while Doflamingo slowly walked towards him. D-damn!

"You should've seen this coming, you and your team walked into this tournament with a pretty large target on your back. It's be foolish to miss such an opportunity." mocked Doflamingo.

Vegeta placed his hand on the ground, weakly managing to push himself up. He was gritting his teeth due to the amount of will power he was summoning just to stand on his feet.

Doflamingo saw this as in insult causing him to shout, "Enough! You're time in this tournament has expired!"

A light reflected off of Doflamingo's shades causing him to quickly look to his left, revealing flying kunai soaring towards him. Tsk! What now?!
