Capítulo 9: Goten VS Trunks
Goku's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Hey, how about we head to the junior tournament next? I can't wait to see how the younger fighters are doing!"
Vegeta, arms crossed, nodded in agreement. "Fine. But I expect nothing less than a display of true power."
As they walked through the bustling tournament grounds, they bumped into Gohan again and Videl.
"Hey, Gohan and who's that!" Goku called out, waving enthusiastically.
Krillin couldn't resist cracking a joke. "Look, it's Gohan and his... girlfriend? I mean, if she can handle the family business, she's in for a wild ride!"
Gohan flushed, glancing at Videl. "Krillin, come on..."
Videl smirked. "Don't worry, I can handle whatever Gohan's family throws at me. What about you? Can you handle it, Krillin?"
Krillin laughed, shrugging. "Touché!"
Once the banter settled, Gohan took Videl aside. "I should probably tell you about my dad," he said, his expression serious. "He's Goku, the guy who's fought some of the strongest beings in the universe. He's in the tournament today."
Videl's eyes widened. "Wait, Goku is your dad? I need to lie down... This is too much to process!"
Gohan chuckled, feeling a mix of pride and amusement. "I know, right? But let's focus on the tournament!"
Meanwhile, the World Martial Arts Tournament announcer revved up the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the World Tournament! Let's take a look at the fantastic prizes!" He waved his arms dramatically, revealing the winner's trophy, a pile of cash, and an opportunity for the victor to face Mr. Satan in an exhibition match.
As if on cue, Mr. Satan burst onto the scene with an over-the-top entrance, complete with confetti and fireworks. However, in a comically exaggerated finale, he slipped and fell onto the ring, rolling around in pain. The audience gasped before he stood up, grinning sheepishly. "Just kidding, folks!"
The crowd erupted in laughter, though Vegeta and Piccolo exchanged incredulous glances. "This is ridiculous," Piccolo muttered, arms crossed. "Why do they let this clown tarnish our image?"
As the excitement settled, a blimp appeared, broadcasting unseen footage of the Cell Games. The announcer hyped it up as a groundbreaking reveal. However, the video turned out to be a laughable reenactment with mascot-costumed actors, depicting Mr. Satan as the hero defeating Cell.
Vegeta's expression darkened. "I can't believe we looked like that."
Piccolo nodded, a mix of annoyance and disbelief. "We should have been depicted as the true warriors we are."
After the video aired, Mr. Satan vanished from the spotlight, presumably embarrassed.
In the junior tournament waiting room, Goten and Trunks were brainstorming what to do with their prize money.
"Maybe we can buy a new video game?" Goten suggested, eyes gleaming.
Suddenly, a group of teenagers surrounded them. The leader, Idasa, sneered at Trunks. "You think you can take me? Let me show you what real power looks like!" He punched the air, stopping an inch from Trunks' hair.
Trunks smirked, unphased. "Nice try, but I've seen more threatening moves from my mother."
As the junior division progressed, Goten effortlessly defeated Idasa's brother, Ikose, with a single punch, much to the shock of the audience.
Meanwhile, Gohan and Videl were still waiting for the new punching machine to arrive. Suddenly, the announcer's voice boomed, calling out the next fighters: eight-year-old Goten and nine-year-old Trunks. The two quickly battled their way to the finals.
As the championship bout began between them, Gohan and Videl finally reached the front of the line for the punching machine. They glanced over at the match just in time to hear the crowd cheering. Mr. Satan was scheduled for an exhibition match with the winner of the junior division.
Goten and Trunks squared off in the center of the ring, each displaying a determined glint in their eyes. The crowd buzzed with excitement, realizing they were about to witness something special.
Goten grinned, already feeling the rush of adrenaline. "Ready, Trunks?"
Trunks smirked back, his competitive spirit ignited. "You bet! Let's see what you've got!"
With the signal given, the two boys launched into action. Goten was quick, darting forward with surprising speed. He threw a flurry of punches, landing a few light strikes on Trunks' midsection. Trunks deflected some with his forearms but felt the impact of Goten's hits.
"Hey, not fair!" Trunks laughed, trying to regain his footing. "I thought we were going easy on each other!"
Goten chuckled, "I'm just warming up!" He powered up slightly, a golden aura igniting around him, showcasing his Super Saiyan form.
Trunks followed suit, transforming into Super Saiyan as well, his own aura flaring to life. "Alright, let's see how you handle this!" He charged at Goten, performing a spinning kick aimed at his head.
Goten ducked just in time, rolling under Trunks' attack and springing back to his feet. "Nice try!" He countered with a rapid barrage of punches, each one forcing Trunks to defend.
The crowd erupted in cheers as the boys showcased their agility and skill. Goten had the upper hand, his strength clearly evident as he pushed Trunks back with each hit. Trunks, however, was determined not to back down.
"Let's see how you handle this!" Trunks yelled, gathering his energy. He launched a small energy blast toward Goten, who quickly dodged to the side.
"Too slow!" Goten taunted, launching himself forward. He executed a quick combination of kicks and punches that had Trunks on the defensive.
Trunks blocked most of the strikes but felt the weight of Goten's attacks. "Okay, time to turn it up!" He gathered his energy again and charged, aiming for a powerful uppercut.
Goten anticipated the move and sidestepped, landing a swift kick to Trunks' side. The impact sent Trunks stumbling back, but he quickly regained his balance, gritting his teeth.
"You're stronger than I expected!" Trunks admitted, his competitive spirit only fueled by the challenge.
Goten, sensing the moment, decided to end it with a flourish. "Alright, let's go all out!" He concentrated, channeling his energy into a move he called "Ultimate Flash." With a quick motion, he unleashed a barrage of rapid, crackling energy blasts toward Trunks.
Trunks barely had time to react. He threw up his arms to defend, but the energy strikes hit with stunning precision. He staggered under the impact, eyes wide with surprise.
Goten seized the opportunity, closing the distance between them. With a swift motion, he landed a powerful kick that sent Trunks flying back. The crowd gasped as Trunks hit the ground hard, but he quickly rolled to his feet, determination shining in his eyes.
"That was impressive!" Trunks acknowledged, panting slightly. "But I'm not out yet!"
With renewed vigor, Trunks charged forward, going for a high jump kick. Goten, anticipating the move, leaped to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack. Trunks landed and quickly pivoted, aiming for a spinning kick.
Goten ducked again, this time countering with a solid punch to Trunks' gut. The impact knocked the wind out of Trunks, who doubled over but quickly recovered.
"You've got to do better than that, Trunks!" Goten encouraged, his tone playful yet competitive.
Trunks grinned, refusing to back down. "Alright, then!" He focused, channeling his energy into a final move. "Take this! Final Flash!"
Goten's eyes widened as Trunks unleashed a bright beam of energy, but Goten wasn't about to be outdone. "Not if I can help it! Here's my counter!"
With incredible speed, Goten powered up his own energy blast, a bright glow surrounding him. The two beams collided, creating a dazzling explosion that lit up the arena. The audience erupted into cheers, the excitement palpable.
When the dust settled, both boys stood their ground, panting but grinning. Goten's strength had indeed given him the edge, and he had clearly outmatched Trunks in this round.
"That was awesome, Goten!" Trunks exclaimed, wiping sweat from his brow.
Goten laughed, extending a hand to Trunks.
"You put up a great fight! Let's do this again sometime."
Trunks accepted the handshake, both boys beaming with camaraderie. The crowd continued to cheer, fully entertained by the display of youthful talent and skill.
As they caught their breath, Gohan and Videl exchanged impressed glances from the sidelines. "They're incredible!" Gohan said, pride swelling in his chest.
"Yeah," Videl replied, a smile on her face. "This tournament is definitely living up to the hype."
As the excitement of the junior tournament reached a fever pitch, the announcer's voice boomed through the arena. "And now, for the exhibition match, we have the winner of the junior division facing off against the legendary Mr. Satan!"
The crowd erupted in applause, but the cheers quickly turned into a mix of anticipation and laughter when Mr. Satan failed to appear. Moments passed, and whispers filled the air as everyone began to wonder if he would actually show up.
"Come on, Satan!" someone shouted from the audience. "You can do it!"
The chant grew louder, and after a few more moments, the familiar figure of Mr. Satan hesitantly emerged from backstage, glancing around nervously at the cheering crowd. He was visibly sweating, trying to muster his bravado.
Vegeta crossed his arms, unable to resist making a comment. "I bet house plants are stronger than Mr. Satan," he said with a smirk, clearly amused.
Gohan quickly interjected, "Hey, Vegeta, that's just a joke, right? Not an insult to Videl!" He shot a concerned glance toward her, hoping she wouldn't take it the wrong way.
Videl raised an eyebrow but couldn't help a small smile at Vegeta's jab. "I think I can handle it."
Mr. Satan finally stepped into the ring, puffing out his chest dramatically. "Fear not, my loyal fans! I'm here to show you the power of true martial arts!" His confidence faltered slightly as he faced Goten, who stood ready, eyes sparkling with excitement.
The audience cheered for both fighters, though the disparity in their power levels was clear. Goten grinned, stretching his arms as he prepared for the match. "Let's do our best, Mr. Satan!"
Mr. Satan gulped, his bravado wavering as he looked at the eager young fighter. "Uh, right! Just... let me get a feel for things!" He danced around awkwardly, trying to hype up the crowd despite his nerves.
Vegeta leaned over to Gohan. "This is going to be a joke," he muttered, suppressing a laugh.
As the match began, Mr. Satan took a defensive stance, clearly intimidated. Goten, ever eager, took a couple of playful steps forward. "Don't worry! I'll go easy on you!"
The crowd roared with laughter, some even cheering for Mr. Satan in a mocking manner. Goten feigned a slow-motion punch, stopping just short of Mr. Satan's face, making it look like a game.
"See? No problem!" Goten said, beaming.
Mr. Satan managed a nervous laugh, trying to regain his composure. "Ha! You see? I'm in control here!" he shouted, although his voice lacked conviction.
With the crowd egging them on, Goten decided to show off a bit. He powered up slightly, showcasing his energy, which lit up the arena. The audience gasped in awe at the display of power, and Mr. Satan took a step back, sweat beading on his forehead.
"Okay, okay! Let's not get too crazy!" Mr. Satan stammered, raising his hands defensively.
Goten chuckled, realizing the older fighter was genuinely frightened. "Relax, Mr. Satan! We're just having fun!"
The match continued with Goten throwing light jabs that Mr. Satan dodged in exaggerated fashion. Each miss was met with laughter from the crowd, who were enjoying the lighthearted nature of the bout.
Finally, Goten decided to wrap things up. "Alright, let's make this official!" He powered up again, this time preparing a playful finishing move.
"Wait, wait! I need to... uh... warm up!" Mr. Satan shouted, looking around for a way to stall.
But Goten, with a friendly smile, executed a quick but harmless energy blast that sent Mr. Satan gently tumbling to the ground, his pride taking a hit but with no real damage done.
The crowd erupted in cheers, and Goten extended a hand to help Mr. Satan up. "Good job out there!"
Mr. Satan accepted the hand, a sheepish grin crossing his face. "Thanks, kid! You're stronger than I thought!"
