The Symbiote Saiyan Book 2: The Tournament Saga

Launch vs. Nam

"So yer the only one with enough balls to stand up to me." Launch said smugly. She knew that this would agitate the male combatants, as they all glared at her. She enjoyed their hate.

"Yes, I do." Nam said. "However, my motives are not as selfish as the others before you. My goal is bigger than you and me."

"Heh, like I really care." Launch smirked. "All I want are three things from this stupid tournament. To have fun beating up people, to win a lot of money, and the chance of winning against my friend Venom over there."

She pointed with her thumb to the block Goku was in, where he was easily knocking out fighters left and right without the use of his symbiote.

"If you only desire things for yourself, then this match has ended before it has even begun." Nam said getting into his fighting stance.

"Whatever, bring it scrawny." Launch said getting into her own fighting stance. "I am ready when yer are."

Nam charged at Launch with surprising speed, delivering a series of strikes and kicks. Although she was taken aback by this, Launch was able to narrowly block most of her attacks. However, one punch managed to strike her in the stomach, inflicting a decent amount of pain. Launch grit her teeth, somehow knowing that it was just a warning shot.

"Wow, yer a pretty good fighter." Launch said, trying to regain her composure. "This is going to be more fun than I thought."

"I agree, but I must apologize." Nam sincerely said. "I do not wish fight and hurt a woman."

"Heh, with that kind of thinking, yer will find yourself outside the ring in no time." Launch said, eager for the battle to press on. "So don't be getting any stupid thoughts, fer I am no mere woman."

"As you wish, now it is your move." Nam said getting into a defensive position.

"Idiot." Launch laughed. "You should have wished you never done that."

Launch projected a warrior's cry as she charged at Nam delivering her own series of punches and kicks. Nam blocked her attacks with more ease than Launch, but took careful note of her strength.

"This woman is more unskilled than me, but her strength is superhuman." Nam thought. "She must have had some proper training from a wise master before the tournament, but not enough."

"This is amazing folks!" The Tournament Announcer yelled. "Contestants Nam and Launch are having the most heated battle I ever seen from an exhibition!"

"Hey Goku. Looks like Monster Launch is having a little fun battle on her hands." Venom said just for his host to hear. Venom wanted to conceal himself before the main event, so he was letting Goku have most of the fun fighting these weaklings.

"Yeah, and looks like everyone is gathering around to see the fight." Goku said. "We might as well use this as a break. The other fighters in our block are no fun anyway."

Goku jumped off the ring and calmly walked over to the edge Launch's ring. The crowd was getting bigger and bigger, each person amazed by the spectacle.

"You can do it Launch!" Goku shouted. "We believe in you!"

"Give this prick some hell!" Venom shouted as the others in the crowd looked around to see where the symbiote's voice originated. "Give him the same fire you gave us when we first met at Kame House!"

"I see that you have been trained well in the basics." Nam said as he grappled with Launch. "Tell me, what is the name of your master."

"The old geezer's name is Master Roshi." Launch said as she continued to push her weight against the Indian. "Sure he is a bit of a pervert, but he gave me a chance to better myself where no one else would. I owe him a lot."
