Dragon Ball Z: Paradise Found

When There's No Other Way

The terrifying snake deity lunged onward with its jaw wide open, hoping to either swallow the defiant mortal that stood against her whole or to impale her on her marble fangs. Chi-Chi vanished from the way of the deity, moving from harm's way and positioning over the colossal snake deity. The woman took careful aim and dived down with a kick ready to knock the feisty reptilian goddess out but the serpentine body of the deity allowed her to wriggle away from Chi-Chi's kick.

More so, the mortal challenger found herself in a predicament as rings upon rings of the snake deity's massive body found themselves surrounding Chi-Chi. In a blink, they closed in looking to crush Chi-Chi to paste instantly or to smother her to death but the martial artist extended her palms to the side, forming a howling Kiai bubble that shook and rattled the snake, jerking each of its sides to each direction while the Deity of the Snake Way collapsed, hanging on the monument to its own glory – the Snake Way like a dead snake on a tree branch.

Utilizing the moment while her enemy was out cold, Chi-Chi grabbed hold of the snake deity's tail and spun it around, coiling the entire divine being in the air like some supermassive vortex of majestic divine longitude before flinging her away, aiming diagonally down to the lemon clouds that separated the Snake Way from Hell itself.

"You dare!" The Deity of the Snake Way emitted a thunderous hiss as it snapped its body straight and propelled itself through the clouds as if surfing them. "What right does a mere mortal have to smite me down to Hell like some lowly scum!? Me!? The grand and elegant Deity of the Snake Way to whose glory the marvelous Snake Way was built, a monument stretching out through half of the entire microcosmos!"

"It's an eyesore is what it is!" Chi-Chi replied with a strict tone. "And I'm no mere mortal. Annin, the guardian of the Fortune Furnace chose me as her champion herself!"

"So... The sour loser has picked a mortal to do her work for her? It doesn't matter, even if she's given you some of the godly trinkets to play with, you don't have the authority to send anyone down to Hell. Only my husband has that authority!" the booming voice of the Deity of the Snake Way sent rippling shockwaves across the entire Snake Way.

"You've threatened to eat my boy and you've imprisoned my husband! I don't need anybody's permission to deal with you!" Chi-Chi pointed her finger to the Deity of the Snake Way even if she raised a good point. Annin told that Raditz and the Deity of the Snake Way deserved to be sealed inside the Fortune Furnace and roast for their crimes and not be just flung down to Hell. Whatever the reason was, Chi-Chi might have gotten a tad hot-headed about that.

The tail of the snake deity slammed into Chi-Chi's side, throwing her off the Snake Way and forcing the woman to resort to flight and stop herself in mid-air. It was just a diversion meant to soften her up though, due to Chi-Chi's recent feast on the honey of the Immortal Peach tree, she was tougher than that to soften up. The angered martial artist took off in a dash, tackling the Deity of the Snake Way right in the nose and properly throwing her off her game.

Chi-Chi continued to fly around and bash into the deity's snout and her entire rocker. With each successive tackle, the snake grew dizzier and dizzier. Eventually, it stopped even getting close to snapping its jaw right up at Chi-Chi's tail and began seeing stars. Having been given a neat idea, Chi-Chi stopped hitting her enemy and began guiding her in loops, guiding the snake's snout in circles and then through the countless donuts formed out of her own protracted body until she was just a ball of knots that slammed against the Snake Way, struggling to be able to move.

The Earthling martial artist landed beside her subdued, divine enemy and lifted her off the ground with one hand, beginning a slow strut toward the Fortune Furnace where this scheming serpent belonged.
