Previous ChapterNext ChapterGoku and Raditz
As the bell rang to inform the kids that 4th period was over the students got up and started to walk to their next class. Goku following the train of students got up and walked toward the gym.
Though it was not too far from Goku felt as if it took forever to get to this class. Turning the corner and seeing the gym doors up ahead Goku walked to it. “Kakarot wait up!” Raditz yelled as he caught up with Goku.
“Hey Raditz how was your class?” Goku asked as he was asking more for small talk.
Raditz scoffed, “boring and torture, I really hate this place but the good thing is that we can always train at the gym or even let anger out during pe. Speaking of which I heard something about Dodge ball… do you know what that is?” Raditz asked as Goku looked at him.
“Dodge ball? Um no I haven’t heard of that training exercise. Is it hard?” Goku responded as Raditz and Goku enter the gym.
Looking around Goku and Raditz saw students entering and leaving the changing room. Raditz put his backpack down as he was already ready. Goku followed his older brothers lead as he did the same.
“Hey Kakarot,” Raditz said as he turned to Goku. “I been thinking about the CHS Fighters. Right now it’s you, me, Applejack Rainbow and Flash. We are all fighters. So if one of us gets hurt we won’t be able to heal ourselves. What then? Not only that but we will have weak armor if this is what we will be using and finally we have no training items to Help us… we are not prepared at all and that fact is sticking in my head.” Raditz finished as he looked down.
“Well we could ask Zecora. But I doubt she would help us out like that again. Especially if she will be close to the fight area. As for the armor… well I used to wear wieghted armor but I haven’t gotten any ever since we got here. Not only that but my gi is gone as well. Maybe we can ask someone to help us with that?” Goku said as Raditz shook his head.
“Who would make armor for kids like us? And zecora helped us sure but she wouldn’t go close to the battle ground again. So we are out of luck on this one…” Raditz said as he sat down sighing.
“Now where in tarnation did you get all sad and down about that stuff?” Applejack asked as she Rainbow, and Rarity walked behind him and heard most of what Raditz said.
“A-Aapplejack!” Raditz started but seeing Applejack look serious at him stopped him.
“Look Sugercube, you two maybe very weak compared to this Sombra fellow but i doubt you two won’t think of sumthing to help us out. Y’all got a team who is willing to help y’all in anything!” Applejack said as Rainbow leaned on Applejack’s left shoulder causing her to wince
“Hell yeah and we arnt going to back down because we don’t have a fast way to heal or even strong armor to protect us! We are going to fight until the very end!” Rainbow cheered as Applejack and Rarity nodded.
“Well we could use those items. Last time I fought sombra he just used a small portion of his energy and when he fought Raditz he just barely rose his energy up halfway into the fight!” Goku said as Rarity put her hand on her cheek thinking.
“Well we train Damn it! We train until we get as strong as him or die trying, um preferably the first option though.” Applejack said as she didn’t want everything she is trying to fight for go to waste. Raditz liked this determination.
“The only bad thing about this fight is that he might not allow you two or flash to fight. He wants me and Kakarot.” Raditz explained as Rarity suddenly gasps and jumped in glee. Catching everyone’s attention.
Rarity smiled at them and started to dance in place as she was very excited. “I got a idea! Look I know I can’t fight or hurt others with my fist but that doesn’t mean I can’t help on another level. What if I make your armors for you five! I will make your team armor, imagin it the CHS Fighters on the back with your own unique look it will look splendid!” Rarity said as Applejack nodded.
“Raditz I think that’s a good idea. She can make some sturdy clothings and she is sure of what she does.” Applejack said as Rainbow put her thumbs up.
Raditz looked to Goku, “Wait if your going to do that we need it to be able to hold weighted items on it. Would you be able to do that?” Goku asked before Radtiz could ask him a question.
“Phssh please Goku, I can do anything with clothings. I will make it so strong and sturdy it will help you train while you wear it!” Rarity said as she seemed super enthusiastic about this.
“Well… I guess that solves our armor problem but we still need to talk about a healer or someone who knows how to make a serum to help us recover.” Raditz said as Rarity put her hand up.
“That is where the second part of my idea comes in! Fluttershy!” Rarity said as Rainbow turned to Rarity confused.
“What about Fluttershy?” Rainbow asked as Rarity smiled and walked to Goku and Raditz.
“If what these two said was true and if what you Rinbow said was also true Goku got thrown off the second floor and barely survived and Raditz got beaten so badly he was barely able to even breath then how are they standing here right now with only a few brusies?” Rarity asked as she waited
“Because a doctor named Zecora helped us so what?” Raditz said as Rarity snapped her fingers.
“Correct! A doctor named Zecora helped you two, and though you were at deaths doorstep you were able to come back with only a few brusies.” Rarity explained as Applejack still didn’t understand
“So what does that have to do with Fluttershy?” Applejack asked as Rarity turned to Applejack.
“Thank you for asking Applejack! You see if this doctor was able to to heal you two with random plants and herbs then it’s safe to say she learned it somewhere. Who’s to say she can’t teach someone else!” Rarity said as Rainbow stepped in.
“Woah, woah woah! Hold on you want Fluttershy to go learn how to make these herbal drinks to help us in the fight?” Rainbow asked as Rarity nodded.
“Exactly! Fluttershy always wanted to help others and heal any wound any animal gets so this will not only benefit her but the team as well!” Rarity said as Rainbow saw a few holes in this plan already.
“Rarity this is Fluttershy we are talking about. The girl who can barely breath without having a heart attack. If she is your medic in the field and she freezes in fear while one of us is hurt or if sombra shoots a energy blast close to her she would be frozen and all that time Learning that process of the herbal medicine would be a waste!” Rainbow said as Rarity seemed to have planned for that.
“Ah contraire Rainbow Dash! Fluttershy has already shown many times she is willing to go into danger and still come on top for us in the past. Not only that but she has also shown that we can count on her many times in the past.” Rarity said as Rainbow did know this fact alone. “She got you when those two were attacking Raditz, Goku and Aapplejack. She saved Gokus life because she barely knew him and she stayed with Raditz and Goku because she was worried for them. If you tell me she doesn’t have her moments of bravery then I don’t think you know our Fluttershy.” Rarity testified
Radit smirked at this, “Alright then, it seems that we got a team set in stone. We will be the fighters while Rarity and Fluttershy will help out with their own way. It’s sucks we can’t have other training equipment but for now this will have to do.” Raditz said as everyone nodded.
Goku got up and palmed his hand with a smirk. “Alright then team! We just need Flash and then we will be able to talk about the training grounds!” Goku said confidently.
Just at that moment from the small ground around the gym Flash arrived as he ran to them. “Sorry I am late guys, what did I miss?” Flash asked as Raditz and Goku looked at one another with a smirk.
“Not much, alright CHS fighters listen up.” Raditz started as Rainbow, Applejack, Rarity, Goku, and Flash all looked at him. “From today we will stay afterschool the training sessions will be at the football stadium. There is a track and a open space. Since we are five we will have to train with 2 against one from time to time. Me and Kakarot will teach you the basics to ki control and to fighting styles. I know right now some of you are wondering what is ki control but we will explain later. Until then we will focus on working better as a team.” Raditz said as the team nodded at once.
As Raditz finished the coach blew his whistle and got the students attention. “Alright class listen up today is dodge ball! You grab a ball and you Chuck it at the enemy, if the ball hits you your out. If you catch the ball the thrower is out if your out you can attack the enemy from the back. Dunk the ball into the basketball hoop and everyone from the team who dunked is set free and do not cross the line or else your out! got it?” The coach ended as the students seem to understand.
“Good alright the leaders of the teams will be…” the coach looked around and then saw two people he pointed to two girls. One was Mag and the other was a girl with Moderate raspberry hair with light raspberry streaks and a very pale yellow skin color. “Mag Nify and rose!”
As Mag nodded she walked up. While rose on the other hand shook, “do I have to be leader? Cant I be a follower?” Rose asked as the coach sighed
“Sure rose you don’t have to be leader.” The coach said as he grabbed a nearby ball and felt it. Then he proceeded to Chuck the ball at Rose who didn’t have enough time to dodge. Getting hit right in the face she slid back and landed near a familiar bacon haired girl. “You your leader um…” the coach said as he looked through his paper and then found the name. “Sunset Shimmer.”
Sunset looked up from the downed rose to the coach, “oh no…” Sunset said as Mag looked at Sunset with a sigh and a smile.
“Well today’s my lucky day.” Mag said as Sunset walked up to the half court and both Mag and Sunset had a stare down.
Raditz and Goku walked to the group of people as Rarity, Rainbow, Applejack, and Flash waited as they decied who goes first with a game of rock paper and scissors. Mag with scissors won as Sunset picked paper.
Goku and the others stared wondering if they would be on the same team or not. Flash was first to be picked as Mag wanted him to be on her team. Sunset then picked Bulk biceps.
Flash whispered near Mags ear and she picked Goku. Walking to Mags team Sunset picked Raditz. Following that Mag picked Rainbow as Sunset picked Applejack.
Without knowing it Raditz let out a sigh of relief knowing he wouldn’t go against Applejack. Mag picked Berry punch and Sunset picked Rarity. The picking went on until the last two people were standing. Rose and derpy. Mag had the choice to pick and as she looked at both Mag picked Derpy.
Rose looked at Sunset who rolled her eyes and nodded as Rose slowly and embarrassing walked to sunsets team.
As both teams got ready Goku and Raditz looked at one another. “Remember guys this is a team effort we got to work together.” Goku said as Rainbow and Flash nodded
“We got to stick together got it Applejack and Rarity?” Raditz asked as the two girls nodded
“I got it. Rarity you try to stay around as long as ya can alright.” Applejack said as Rarity nodded
“I will get as many dodgeballs as I can you and Flash try to take them out.” Rainbow said as Goku nodded and Flash got ready.
“I will do my best, after all I am no good at this but you can count on me and Applejack don’t push yourself too hard you don’t want to hurt that arm.” Rarity said as Raditz got ready to sprint to a ball.
“We can beat them I know we can!” Flash said as Goku got in a fighting stance. As soon as the whistle blew the two teams charged at the ball.
As the two teams charged for the balls Goku grabbed one and chucked it at Raditz. As Raditz saw the ball coming he dodged and behind him was Rose who looked at the incoming ball and got hit on the face.
As Rose slid to the wall she groaned on the ground as the coach called her out. Raditz and Applejack both dodge. Applejack doing side steps and leaps to the side as her arm was still in a cast. Raditz and Applejack both tired to grab a ball sometimes but many times Applejack was afraid to fail. Rarity used other students as meat shields.
Goku and Flash both kept a defensive tone to their game as Rainbow would go for a attack. “Rainbow don’t get so cocky!” Flash said as he blocked a ball with his.
“Oh quit your worrying I am fine!” Rainbow shouted as she ducked under a ball and sweeper her leg to have more motion to throw the ball she had.
As the ball was thrown Sunset didn’t realize Rainbows ball was coming straight to her. Before she could react she closed her eyes and put her hands up. Before the ball even hits Sunset something grabbed the ball or someone.
As Sunset opens her eyes she saw Raditz infront of her as he had caught the ball. “Um… t-thank you?” Sunset said as Raditz scoffed.
“Your battle isn’t with her. Focus on the team, the others are just obstacles Rainbow!” Raditz said as he ignored Sunsets thanks.
The kids looked confused as Raditz said the word “team” and Rainbow sighed as she was out and she started to walk to the back of the enemies team on the outer side of the basketball court. As rainbow got there she waited to get let out or to get a ball to attack the enemy team from the back.
“I think Raditz only wants us to attack the team Members only. Rainbow can attack from the back so what we need to do is just distract the others. Keep your eyes on other balls if we take more people out we will have to deal with more attacks from both sides.” Goku said as he grabbed a ball that was heading his way.
“Alright but Rainbow would be taking out other people as well how do we do this without getting out played here!” Flash said as he moved to the side.
Raditz Rarity and Applejack focused on the two remaining foes they had. Raditz dodged a ball that was coming toward him and Applejack grabbed it with one hand as she almost dropped it but caught it again
“So uh Raditz ya got a plan or sumthing?” Applejack asked as Raditz had a plan right away.
Raditz grabbed a ball nearby and turned to Applejack and Rarity. “Alright Applejack and Rarity if you like, cosider this as your first lesson to my training. You see this ball as it is by itself it has zero energy.” Raditz said as he dodged a ball coming from Rainbow. “Now as you pick it up it requires energy. But that is your physical energy if we go into it deeper we can use our own energy wave level. I call it energy while Kakarot calls it ki it is the same thing pretty much. It is the source that gives us power to do amazing feats but for now let’s focus on control and blast. This ball is made out of material of from this planet if you focus you can control the balls movements even after the ball left your hand.” Raditz said as Applejack blocked a ball with Hers and rarity ducked under a ball as she hit the ground.
“Um, how in tarnation will we be able to do that?” Applejack asked as Raditz chucked a ball at Flash barely missing him.
Raditz smirked, “nice dodge Flash! Oh as for training you need to concentrate deep down and find your hidden power. It’s always there and has been showing you its there in the past but you need to find it and use it I know you can do it here and now. Just focus and find what makes you strong in life whether it being survival or just happiness. once you find the thing that makes you you! Then you can use energy waves to anyway I can explain more once you reach it” Raditz said as Applejack looked at him a bit worried on her face as she nodded.
“I will protect you until you got it but once they start to get on both sides I will need you to have your energy waves ready.” Raditz said as he got infront of Applejack as she closed her eyes and started to focus that rested on her hand, Rarity walked behind Applejack and stared at Rainbow both looking ready as Rarity held her ball in front of her
“This is going to get tough Flash but if you do as I say I think we can come out victorious in this challege Raditz is putting us through.” Goku said as Flash and him threw two balls at Raditz. Though he couldn’t dodge it he blocked the first one and then threw the ball he had to the second ball.
“Alright so what should we do? The other students are now on both sides and it’s getting harder to see which ball is coming and which will miss.” Flash said as Goku looked at what Raditz and Rarity were doing. Between them Goku sensed Applejacks energy slowly rising.
“Alright it seems Raditz is training Applejacks right now. I think this will be a good time to train you too.” Goku said as he caught a ball from the enemy that was already in jail.
“Right now! W-well alright what do I need to do.” Flash asked as he was more concerned that focusing on training while dodging will only make it easier for people to target him.
“You see the balls? They used to have ki
in it when it was once alive. Being leather and plant matter. The reason I have been able to dodge it so easily or hit another ball while it fly’s mid air is because I am using my ki to sense the others balls ki energy. Then I am distributing it accordingly.” Goku said as Flash seemed confused about all of this
“Will you two focus on the game!” Mag said as Goku looked to flash and smiled.
“Believe me it makes more sense once you start tapping into ki. For now you need to channel your ki. Usually it is easy to do for humans. All you need to do is find that special part of you and make that strengthen you. Once that is done tell me so I can guide you to the next steps.” Goku said as he handed the ball to Flash.
“Won’t this make me a bigger target if I don’t move?” Flash asked as Goku nodded
“Don’t worry I will get that part under control but you better hurry. It seems that Applejack and Raditz are ahead and not only in numbers but their ki training. Just focus alright!” Goku said as he got into his defensive position.
Raditz and Goku stared at one another as they both were counting on their friend to get their ki/energy waves controlled first.
Goku sensed the energy of the throwers leaving off of the balls around all around him as he focused primarily on the balls heading toward him or Flash. Turning around Goku charged his ki and threw the ball at a incoming ball. As it hit the two balls bounced off one another and Gokus ball returned to him as his ki pushed off in certain angles.
“Impressive… even though this is beginners stuff it seems that Kakarot had learned many things from earth. Good” Raditz thought as he turned to Applejack and then thought. “Come on Applejack I know you can do this!”
Raditz and Goku both started to focus on defense as both had someone to protect. Although Goku was outnumbered by the enemy throwing balls at him and Flash Goku had used his ki sparingly as he would grab two balls and throw them at the incoming balls.
Raditz on the other hand had more people on his side but still had Rarity who had zero idea of energy waves or control. So many times Raditz would have to leave Applejacks protection to try to help Rarity. This called a few close counters to Applejack almost getting out.
The two saiyans started to hold off each other and the other students as Goku would sometimes throw a ball at Raditz forcing him to dodge or block it. Mostly blocking the hits with another ball. Raditz thought of a idea as he threw a ball up into the air. As this caught many students attention and even Gokus Raditz used that first ball as a distraction. Grabbing another ball he threw it at Goku.
Sensing Raditz energy coming close to him Goku looked down with barely enough time to see the ball coming. Putting his ball up the two dodgeballs hit and pushed off one another. Goku fell back as Raditz’s first ball landed on his hands.
“Take this!” Raditz yelled as he threw the ball to Goku. Without another choice Goku tapped into the new form he had and threw the ball as he was sitting down.
The balls flew at one another but once it hit contact Gokus ball blew right through Raditz’s and headed straight toward Raditz. “W-What!” Was all Raditz said without time to dodge and without a ball to block the hit Raditz only stared in shock.
Before the ball made contact a ball behind Raditz flew to his side and hit Goku's ball on the side pushing it away from Raditz. Goku and Raditz both sensed a new ki level rise as Applejack had found her energy waves. “Ya okay there Raditz?” Applejack asked as Raditz chuckled a bit.
“Applejack you controled where the ball is going!” Raditz said as Applejack looked at her hand and nodded.
“I-I guess I did but I just moved my hand around is that how it works?.” Applejack asked as Raditz turned to Goku who returned into his base form. Rainbow had seen Applejack's throw and knew that her team could be in trouble.
“Wait did that cowgirl just… did she just use energy control?” Sunset whispered as she stared in shock at Applejack. “So these two are able to use energy waves. But I kinda knew that just by the first time I saw them… seeing this though seeing regular people being able to achieve highest like this? This could be a problem. Especially if that training document leaks from my phone and spreads to other phones. I must get that phone back and fast!” Thought sunset as she jumped over a ball that was coming from Mag
“How are you doing flash?” Goku asked as Flash was struggling to find this ki energy within him.
“Not good! I don’t know what it looks like or what I should be looking for. You say it’s a special part but I can’t see anything special about me!” Flash said as Goku thought quickly
“Maybe you don’t see it as special but it is. Think about it, you are kind to many people, you fight to protect others you care for and you help people you just met. I think your specialness inside you is that your a guard. You are there to help and to protect!” Goku said as Flash looked at Goku and then at the ball.
“Let me try it again. I am sure I can reach it this time.” Flash said as Goku nodded and thought of a way to stall the enemy team
“This is great! You already know how to move your energy in certain ways. And yes but you have to choose if you want it to follow the motion of your hand” Raditz said as Applejacks blushed and smiled
“I thought I wanted to protect you and make ya proud.” Applejack said as Raditz smirked missing the blush entirely.
“See that Kakarot! She is going to be perfect for the team!” Raditz mocked as Goku smirked.
“Oh yeah well I think my friend Flash is getting his ki controled as we speak!” Goku retorted as he stared at Raditz both saiyans having fun in this little bout.
As Applejack stepped to the side Goku definitely sensed it. Her ki rose and made her stronger than before. “Alright let’s do this.” Goku said to himself as he grabbed a ball and put energy into it.
“Thank goodness you finished that Applejack I didn’t know how much more I could kept up darling and thank you Raditz for supporting me.” Rarity said as she turned around and looked at Goku and Flash
Raditz saw this and smiled. “So Applejack. Should we have some fun with Kakarot or take him out right away?” Raditz asked as Applejack looked at her hand
Applejack felt how energy control made her stronger, “I suggest we take him out now I don’t want to mess up and get my energy control messed up plus I am O’Neal down and don’t want to get hit badly.” Applejack said as she grabbed a ball and prepared it.
Sunset saw Applejack grab a ball and she did the same. Slowly putting small amounts of energy into the ball she got ready
Raditz nodded as he understood that feeling. “Alright then let’s make Kakarots last few minutes in tough!” Raditz yelled as he Grabbed Rarity’s ball and gave it energy.
Goku breathed smoothly as he had put enough energy into the ball he had and grabbed one more. Gokus team was being taken out by the other students like Bulk biceps and even Rarity’s efforts. Though Goku wasn’t going to attack them he got a plan to help him stall Raditz and Applejack from taking them all out.
Raditz and Applejack threw their balls at Goku. Taking a step to the left and running toward the half way line he rolled to the side and threw both the balls.
Raditz saw the ball with most of Goku's energy fly to the sky high above as the second ball hit Applejacks ball. With a quick turn with his hand Raditz’s ball flew straight to Goku.
Without time, Goku took the hit as he slid down. Sensing this Flash looked up and saw Goku was now taken out. “Goku!” Flash said as he now was one of the last 7 people standing.
“Nice hit Raditz, ya got him.” Applejack said as Rarity cheered. Many other students cheered as many tried to get Goku out but all failed.
Mag, Flash, Derpy, berry punch and a few more were left standing. “So um Flash got any tricks up your sleeve?” Mag asked as Flash shook his head.
“No, Goku was the only one that could hold them off. They have us surrounded and I don’t know what to do!” Flash said as the other team readied their next attack.
“You got to focus! Focus and find that ki inside you!” Goku said as he got up and smiled at Flash.
“Now! Are you kidding?” Flash asked as the others looked at the two confused as Goku nodded as he stared at flash. Seeing the trust Goku gave flash flash nodded and started to focus again.
“Your picking on small hopes Kakarot!” Raditz said as Sunset's team got ready.
“Goku you are out please go to the outer side of the basketball court!” The coach commanded as Goku looked at him and smiled.
“Are you sure about that because I recall that you said if we make a ball into the basket ball hoop we will all be let back in.” Goku said as he pointed to the other teams basketball hoop.
As everyone turned around to look at the hoop Rainbow gasped as Flash and Mags team looked with hope as Sunsets team looked with shock and disbelief. Everyone saw the first ball Goku threw wasn’t a miss but a purposely throw. Gokus first ball flew to the roof and then bounced off as it started to go down heading straight toward the hoop. “S-STOP IT!” Raditz shouted as he realized they all got played by Goku's tactic.
Everyone threw a ball at Goku's ball but it was too late. The ball went straight into the hoop as everyone on Mag’s team cheered and the coach got up in shock. “J-JAIL BREAK!” The coach shouted as the kids that Sunsets team had worked on taking out all charged back into the battlefield.
Goku smiled with a chuckled as he didn’t truly know if he would make it. He turned to Flash and put his hand up with a thumbs up.
Flash smiled at Goku and focused as Mag started to focus into the game again. “Alright take them down guys!” Mag shouted as the two teams attacked one another.
“It seems that yer brother is very strategic in fights and compitions.” Applejack said as she looked at Goku.
“I can’t believe we fell for that… no matter we can still take them out. Kakarot is our main target. But since he has his whole team back just be on your feet got it Aapplejack And if need be call out for me. We can still win this.” Raditz said as Applejack smiled at Raditz determination and nodded getting her right hand back and opened she stood ready.
“Goku that was so AWESOME! So what’s the plan right now?” Rainbow asked as she got back to the team.
Goku looked at Raditz and Applejack get ready for round two. “I need you to find your ki and control it. You got to find what makes you and control that to make you stronger.” Goku said as Rainbow nodded
“I heard what Raditz said, I will get on it right away.” Rainbow said as she caught a ball in the air and walked behind Goku.
Sunset threw her ball at Mag who dodged it at first, with a quick flick of Sunsets hand the ball followed Mag. Before the ball hit her Derpy got in the way of the ball and took the hit for Mag.
“No no no! Why did she do that!” Sunset thought as she looked for another ball but didn’t see any.
As Mag looked at Derpy she smiled. “Thanks for the save Derpy.” Mag said as Derpy looked at mag and smiled.
“No problem, the team needs a leader like you. If you go out we will lose. Just beat them okay?” Derpy said as she got up and walked off as Mag got ready for that technique Sunset had
Mag tied her hair to be in a bun as she now was ready for anything sunset was going to try. “I think she has the same powers Goku and Raditz have. And seeing that Applejack was able to do the same it’s not impossible to say she doesn’t have it.” Mag thought as she saw Sunset pick a ball up. “Then all I need to do is get Sunset out and show her I am not stupid or weak as she thinjs!” Mag thought as Sunset looked at her
“She will be expecting more attacks like that now. Maybe I should stick to the normal attacks. But if I beat her with this new attack I can show her that I am not some person that is intimidated to be caught and actually welcome a foe.” Sunset thought and smiled
The two girls both waited and then they threw their balls at one another
Goku ducked under a stray ball as Raditz and Applejack attacked with all they got. Rarity running back and forth trying to distract others from her teammates.
Goku picked a ball up and blocked Applejacks attack and then threw it at Raditz. Raditz and Applejack dodged as the ball zoomed passed them and hit rarity as she tripped over it.
“Sorry Rarity!” Goku said as she got up and dusted herself off and scoffed with a smirk.
“Lucky shot darling.” Was all Rarity said as she walked to the other side. As Goku smiled and saw a ball heading toward him he felt the wind of a ball from behind him zoom pass Gokus head and stop the ball mid way.
Turning around Goku saw Flash with another ball. “I think I got it Goku.” Flash said as Goku could sense Flash’s energy was higher and stronger, though not as strong as Applejacks it was still close.
“Great job flash. How do you feel?” Goku asked as Flash looked at his hands feeling the strength.
“Stronger and tougher. So I feel great!” Flash responded as he and Goku turned to Applejack.
“Good, because this is about to get tougher. We still need to protect Rainbow for the time being. So for now just stick to making the ball go faster and defense. If you try to feel your energy and then try to feel others you can sense that these balls being thrown have small amounts of the throwers energy. Take that info and use it to the best you can.” Goku instructed as Flash nodded and knew what Goku was talking about since he already felt it as he was searching
“Alright Goku let’s do this!” Flash said as he got ready and as Goku got into his horse stance
“It seems that Flash learned to control his energy. And if I am feeling correctly Rainbow is too. This could be bad news Applejack.” Raditz said as He grabbed a nearby ball he charged energy into it
Applejack looked at Raditz and smiled. “We can win this I am sure of it since our team was still half out we have them surrounded Goku and Flash are the only ones protecting Rainbow and attacking us.” Applejack said as she ducked and threw a ball at Goku.
Goku blocked it and jumped up and threw a ball at Applejack with fast speeds Applejack moved to the side as Raditz threw a ball at Flash. Dodging the ball Flash got ready only to see the ball follow him.
Flash put his ball up as a guard and bounced it away from him as it flew back to Raditz. “Goku any ideas?” Flash asked as Goku thought and shook his head.
“I will think of something, just focus and throw that ball.” Goku said as he sidestepped a ball and caught another ball that was from another student.
He charged at the students around the front line and jumped back and forth as he bounced off the floor with the ball and chucked it at Raditz.
Radtiz smirked and threw his ball at Goku both balls slid missing one another. Goku started to fall and as he did he did a flip midair to fall with his hands. The ball barely scraping Goku in mid air.
Raditz tackled Applejack as the ball missed them both. Raditz looked at what he did and looked away from applejack before a blush could form and though the tackle hurt Applejack a bit she still ignored the pain as she got up. “It seems that Kakarot is still more agile than ever.” Raditz said as he got up quickly and Applejack understood.
Goku landed and did one flip and landed back on his feet. He looked at Raditz as he dawned his horse stance again. “Hey Raditz let’s leave these two to go at it and you face me one on one!” Goku said as he knew with the new form Goku could beat Raditz
“Oh really you want to go against me? Fine let’s do it but lets wait until the other students are out and it’s okay only us and a few othersi.” Raditz said as he looked at Applejack and nodded. Goku turned to flash and gave him a thumbs up. Both brothers then vanished and appeared on the far side of the court.
Flash looked at Applejack and smirked as Applejack looked back and returned the smirk with a ball charged with energy. As Applejack threw it Flash dodged and saw the ball coming again. Blocking the ball to fly somewhere else it flew into the air and started to come on. Rose, who was already out and feeling her cheek for the pain, looked up and saw another ball coming. “Oh no!” Was all Rose said until the ball made contact again.
Flash chucked the ball at Applejack as the two were going all out. Though Flash didn’t know how to control the detection of the ball he knew how to throw it hard and fast making the ball very hard to dodge and evena harder ball to get hit with. Applejack many times had to assume the detection and counter Flash’s ball but she knew it was possible. The only problem Applejack was worried was her arm but many times she had her right side face Flash as she covered her left side with her body
Sunset threw her ball as Mag rolled and chucked hers at Sunset.
Both Mag and Sunset quickly looked for another ball. Both girls found a ball and got ready to throw as Mag grabbed hers first and threw it at Sunset.
With only a small amount of time Sunset was able to block it and throw hers at Mag. The two girls aiming to get one and the other out. Mag didn’t know anything about ki or energy control but she knew that what she was seeing with the others that a user can control the direction or speed of the ball. “Fine by me!” Mag said in her head as she knew Sunset wouldn’t be expecting the next move.
As Sunset chucked the ball Mag charged right at it. As Mag expected Sunset didn’t expect that and didn’t control the ball. As the ball got close enough mag slid on the smooth basketball court floor and dodged the ball.
Sunset looked in shock and realization as Mag got up from mid slide and threw her ball. Sunset didn’t know what to do as she stared at the incoming ball. But before Mag’s ball hit Sunset a ball came from their left and hit the ball so hard it poped it. Both shocked at the speed and strength of that ball looked to the thrower.
Flash stood there as he released a breath. “Sorry it um… slipped. Flash said as Mag looked angry at Flash and Sunset smiled. The two girl both faced off again as Flash had to dodge applejacks ball without another ball to bounce it away.
The game went on as many students from both sides went out and the coach was on the end of his seat. It was down to seven students. Goku and Raditz as the both just spend their time dodging the ball or catching the other teams ball. Neither attacking the other.
Flash was going all out against Applejack as Applejack didn’t want to lose, she was determined to show Raditz and even prove to Big Mac that she could take on her enemy even with one arm damaged. Rainbow though focusing had already found her ki control but stayed focused as she wanted to see if she can do something.
Mag and Sunset we both going all out as Mag was starting to breath heavily. Both girls showing that they didn’t want to let the other win.
As the students kept throwing their balls they soon stopped realizing that the two brothers wish for this to be a one on one. Other students tried but once explained they slowly stopped.
Goku and Raditz seeing the balls stop throwing both smiled and turned to one another both really wishing for a rematch.
Goku and Raditz both stared at one another, “Raditz we can’t go all out. Let’s just use a bit power alright?” Goku said as Raditz nodded and Goku got into his fighting stance as Raditz crossed his arms and showed he was ready. Both brothers dived for a ball and chucked it at one another as they tried to Dodge the others ball.
As the two brothers ran across the arena from the arena throwing balls this caught many students attention. Goku and Raditz both started in the far left of the court but as they moved and threw balls they would slowly run across the whole court.
As Flash was about to throw head to step back before he almost ran into Goku. “Woah!” Flash said in shock of how fast they were. The two brothers didn’t let up either as they wanted to have some fun.
Applejack didn’t move but saw Raditz go past her and throw a ball. The balls on the ground were picked up by the Two saiyan brothers and thrown at one another. “Sweet sun almighty!” Was all Applejaxk said as she noticed Flash was distracted.
Sunset was about to pick up a ball but Raditz grabbed it before her and then threw it at Goku. Before Goku got hit he slid and then proceeded to throw it back to Raditz as he was having a good time and so was Raditz. Sunset watched as she thought “could I move that fast if I train up?”
Sunset focused back on the game as she dodged a ball from mag. “Focus on the fight you are in, not the one they are in!” Mag shouted as she threw another ball
Flash barely saw the ball and dodged it as he threw his to Applejack. Though Flash’s ball was fast Applejack was able to slip back and miss the ball. Applejacks ball which was near the concentrating Rainbow was then thrown back at Flash as Applejack brought her hand back to her.
With Flash already on the ground and with no ball to block flash didn’t have time to dodge or turn and grab the ball. With a hit to the back Applejack won and Flash lost
Raditz and Goku both stopped where they started and threw the balls they had been saving as Raditz had more than Goku. With the strength Raditz has he threw the balls at Goku who had to dodge. “Never thought you enjoy this Raditz!” Goku shouted to his brother as Raditz smiled
“Oh Kakarot you greatly misunderstood me. I don’t enjoy school but pe is very enjoyable. For many reason.” Raditz said as he tried not to look at Applejack.
Flash was out and Applejack sighed as Mag noticed this and was angry but used her anger against Sunset. “Good game Applejack, you definitely got me good heck you are really good even if you only have one arm... But I think you still forgot one person.” Flash said as he was getting up.
“Wha? Who are ya talking about?” Applejack asked as from her right a ball was thrown and Applejack barely dodged it without a hit but landing on her .left arm. About to yell in pain Applejack held it in and looked at Rainbow
“Me.” Rainbow said as Applejack got back up. Her rival and friend was just sitting there concentrating on something for the whole time and now Rainbow had gotten up and looked at Applejack for her next target.
“Oh great, can ya give me a minute i wanna heal up.” Applejack said as she was winded and hurt from the fight against Flash.
“Fine, you can rest up. But once you finish all mine.” Rainbow said as she bounced the ball and Flash walked to the outer side of the court.
“Good try Flash.” Rarity said as she patted Flash’s back.
Flash smiled and nodded as he cheered Goku and many more cheered Raditz.
The two brothers had the stage as they yet again bounced all around the arena. Goku ran to a ball and tapped it as he didn’t pick it up or throw it. He just tapped it releasing a little energy. Raditz found this action odd and was prepared for anything his brother might do.
Quickly grabbing more dodgeballs Raditz proceeded to hurl them at Goku. But instead of going straight toward Goku, Raditz threw them in front where Goku might try to grab a ball.
Stopping before the ball hit him Goku realized Raditz was now on to him. “I need to work faster before he gets my whole plan!” Goku thought as he charged up faster.
Goku dodged and jumped as he quickly grabbed the ball and gave off some energy. Without realizing it Raditz had thrown the last ball that was on his side. “Kakarot what the hell is your plan!” Raditz asked as Goku tapped the last ball and smiled.
“Raditz look around you have zero dodgeballs to attack or defend! You only got yourself to dodge. Also if you sense around you can feel my energy was given to a little bit to each ball.” Goku said as Raditz crossed his arms and waited
“Okay and your plan was to give a little bit of you to the dodgeballs?” Raditz asked until he saw it.
As Goku pushed his hands at Raditz all the energy on all the dodge balls flew straight toward Raditz. “Better run Raditz!” Goku said as Raditz saw this attack
“What the hell!” Raditz shouted as he tried to run away. Dodging the first few he soon realized that Goku was going to use all of the balls to attack Raditz, “he -he got me again! I need to take him out with me or Applejack will be in deep trouble” Raditz thought as he dodged as best he could
Mag threw a ball and Sunset threw one at Mag and before they went far the two balls flew torward Raditz. Dodging and trying to get away but it was too late. Raditz yelled as he was attacked on all sides. Putting his hands out he only could wait to see what happens.
As all the balls hit Raditz in different areas they soon all fell to the ground. Applejack was shocked that Raditz was out and now she would have to go against Goku and Rainbow. Sunset looked over and kept that attack in mind. Mag stared at shock as she couldn’t believe what happened.
As the coach was about to whistle he saw something. Though Raditz was hit and out it seemed he had grabbed one of Gokus attack. “What! No way!” Goku shouted as Applejack sighed in relief knowing she wouldn’t have to go against Two or even just Goku and the coach whistled
“Goku and Raditz are both out!” The coach said as Raditz dropped the ball and chuckled.
“It seems that in your attack on me I was able to take you out with me! Kakarot you are one smart fighter but you forgot that there are other ways to win a fight.” Raditz said as Goku followed his brother and smiled
“You gave me a good challenge now let’s see which of our teams will win this.” Goku said as he and Raditz turned around and looked at the game. Now it was Applejack, vs Rainbow, and Mag vs Sunset.
As Applejack looked at Rainbow, she sighed. “Alright Dash let’s showdown!” Applejack said as she threw her ball at Rainbow, causing Rainbow to dodge. Both girls just threw the dodgeballs at one another not using ki or energy waves and though Applejack used one arm Rainbow kept using two.
Raditz watched Applejack as he was nervous for her and he wanted to see how much Applejack could improve in such little time. Flash and rarity walked to Goku and Raditz as they stared.
“Rainbow told me about the rumors, I wanted to tell you two I am sorry I listened to lies. Though I am not one hundred percent trusting of you but if Rainbow and Applejack both trust you and especially Applejack. Then I will trust you.” Rarity said as Goku nodded and smiled
“It’s fine honestly I don’t know what rumors went around but I know that you were just being protective.” Goku said as Raditz looked at Rarity and focused to the game again.
Though Raditz heard this he felt happy, he hated to feel happy about feelings “You don’t have to apologize. Not many would do what you just did. The fact that you are standing up shows me that you are someone reliable.” Raditz said as Rarity nodded and looked at the fight
“So who will win? Rainbow or Aapplejack?” Flash asked as looked at the two. Goku looked at the fight as he seemed to be reading the two fighters.
“Rainbow isn’t going all out. Neither is Applejack and she is hurt so I may have to say Rainbow. Although there is a hidden power within both of them… I just don’t know what it is.” Goku stated as Flash nodded and stared.
Applejack dodged and threw a ball at Rainbow. Rainbow blocked it and charged throwing it as Applejack sidestepped the ball. “So Applejack, you ready to start going all out or do you want to wait a bit longer.” Rainbow asked as Applejack smirked
“Fine RD but ya ain’t winning!” Applejack said as she charged up her power and looked at Rainbow. Though it wasn’t a lot it was the max Applejack could do for now
Rainbow smiled as she saw Applejack walk to a nearby ball and put her energy into the ball she had. Rainbow ran to the side as Applejack followed
Mag dodged a ball twice as it tried to follow it with her own two dodgeballs but missed both times. With the third ball Sunset threw Mag blocked as she threw her ball.
Before sunset could grab another ball she ran back and then moved to the side as Sunset got up and looked at Mag. Mag breathed hard and was sweating hard. “Aww what’s wrong mag. You tired already?” Sunset asked as Mag pushed her glasses up.
“No… I’m not!” Mag shouted as she got angrier and stood tall as she grabbed another ball.
“You can’t keep up so give up already. I beating you and it’s time you admit you lost!” Sunset said as she meant this little fight in a more personal way.
“I don’t give up… no matter what. I am just going to keep going until you lose or until I Can't go on.” Mag said as she charged at Sunset and threw the ball.
With ease Sunset dodged it. “This is just sad. Look i can make this fast or slow your choice.” Sunset said as she walked up to the line where mag was now kneeling.
Putting the ball in her right hand she lifted it up and got ready to throw it down. Mag looked up and smiled. Sunset saw her smirk and acted before thinking fearing Mag may have hidden something.
Mag rolled to the side dodging it and she threw a nearby ball at Sunset. Sunset twisted the ball making it fly straight to the downed Mag and hitting her on the face
Trying to catch the ball Mag threw Sunset slipped and she had gotten hit by the ball in the side of the head. The coach blew his whistle as Sunset and Mag were both out
“No! Damn it she played me! H-how! I am suppose to be better than her in everyway! How did I lose!” Sunset thought as she got up and clenched her fist. Mag looked at Sunset as her glasses had broken a bit. Taking them off she sighed and looked down as she heard footsteps near her. Sighing and expecting Sunset Mag looked up and saw someone. Flash smiled at her and had his hand out to help her up.
“I think you need some help getting to your spare glasses mag.” Flash said as Mag smiled and took his hand and tried to forget the save Flash did on Sunset
As Flash helped her up he smiled and nodded as he and Mag walked away. Sunset saw this and sighed as she didn’t know what to do only to sit back and watch the last two fighters
Raditz starred as Applejack was trying different stragites. To help her wounded arm and to accommodate for not using it Applejack bounced around using her energy control to boost her feet to have a stronger push off.
Rainbow had tried to attack Applejack as she was having a hard time to keep an idea where she would go. Once seeing that Applejack isn’t going to stop moving Rainbow got angry and stopped throwing her dodgeballs
Seeing this Applejack stopped as she looked, Rainbow didn’t do or say anything but then Goku Raditz, Flash and Applejack sensed it Rainbow was charging her energy up. As Applejack assumed Rainbow will put her energy into the ball she waited ready to dodge.
Rainbow charged her energy to the highest she could and instead of using the energy into the ball she kept it. “Hey Applejack, what happens if you put so much energy into one ball?” Rainbow asked as Applejack looked confused
“I assume it would have a longer control time. Right?” Applejack asked as she turned to Raditz and he nodded.
“Then what would happen if we just keep that energy within us and not on the ball.” Rainbow asked as Applejack looked at Raditz a bit worried to where Rainbow was going with this idea.
Raditz’s eyes widen as he and Goku realized what Rainbow was about to do. “Applejack dodge!” Raditz yelled as Applejack turned around and barely saw the ball coming to her. With a quick leap she dodged the ball.
As Rose got between Bulk biceps and Derpy they greeted her as she returned from the nurses office. She looked at the court as she held a ice bag on her cheek only for Rainbows ball straight to her face. Bulk Biceps winced as Derpy looked at shock as Rose fell backwards.
Applejack looked to Rainbow only to see Rainbows body a bit bulkier. Not as bulky as Bulk Biceps but she seemed to be using all her energy to charge up her muscles.
“Kakarot did you teach her that?” Raditz asked as Goku shook his head.
“No I didn’t, I don’t even use that form! But I know there is someone who did. My old teacher master Roshi.” Goku said as they watched in shock that these two girls. “He would buff up to give his fist and mi a stronger boost but he would only stay in a small period of time.” Goku explained as he remembered to Roshis using the Kamehameha on the ox kings mountain. Within only 30 minutes they both used ki to their own liking and have improved very well.
Rainbow looked at her form and smirked. “Alright Applejack let’s see if you can keep up against this!” Rainbow said as Applejack ran to the left of the court only to see Rainbow appear there without seemingly moving. Applejack then turned and ran to the right only to see Rainbow appear there again. “And where do you exactly think of going Aapplejack?” Rainbow asked as Applejack looked worried.
Raditz thought on the form and how it could help in the future as Goku studied how it seemed to help Rainbow and wondering how it will effect her.
Applejack dodged a ball that came at her in incredible speeds. “What the hay!” Applejack said as she saw Rainbow grab a few more dodgeballs and throw them. Applejack could only dodge as her energy control was forgotten. Raditz looked at Rainbow trying to see if there was any way to help Applejack.
Applejack managed to grab one dodgeball that was on the ground as she used it to protect and block any ball she can. But as Applejack blocked a ball it would push her back and made her stumble to try to grab the ball from the sudden force of Rainbow. “You gotta do something soon Applejack or can you not handle this new power of mine?” Rainbow Asked as she chucked another ball to Applejack.
Being pushed back close to the edge of the basketball court Applejack looked around and thought of a idea. “Nah I can’t handle this strength of yours but you can’t handle my brains and own strength either!” Applejack said as she threw the ball at Rainbows incoming ball. Though Rainbows was stronger Applejack used her ball to block the attacking ball.
Running to other balls and grabbing them and putting a little bit of energy into each ball. Applejack tried to copy what Goku did. Applejack dodged the attacks from Rainbow as the balls barely missed her.
“Look I kinda want to end this here so if you are going to do what Goku was doing it won’t work.” Rainbow said as she threw another ball and saw she had one more ball left.
“Alright here goes everything!” Applejack thought to herself as she grabbed the last ball and though feeling weak and tired she readied herself
“Her energy is depleting.” Goku said as Raditz and Rarity looked at Goku confused. “Rainbows new form will only boost her energy and physical strength but at the sacrifices for movement and ki control in the beginning she was able to move fast, but now she is having a hard time to even move to the side. This form could be perfected but I am sure it will take some time.” Goku said as Raditz looked on, waiting to see what happens.
Applejack moved her hands forward like Goku did as all the balls flew straight toward Rainbow. Scoffing Rainbow saw the balls flying straight toward her.
Between the balls Applejack ran toward Rainbow hoping that the dodgeballs would distract rainbow enough for her to get closer.
Rainbow was able to block most of the balls with one hand but it was getting difficult so to help herself she grabbed one of the balls that were on the ground and started to block as many as she could. seeing that she could end up like Raditz and not sure if she can catch a ball Rainbow soon had to jump to the side as the other balls barely missed her.
Rainbow breathed hard as she saw Applejack charging at her with one ball. Rainbow smiled knowing she won here. “Well applejack it was fun but I think I won this round!” Rainbow shouted as she tried to turn and throw the ball only to realize her body stopped midway. “W-What!” Rainbow yelled as she could move her body was now struggling to hold onto so much power at one place.
Raditz, rarity, and everyone on Sunsets team saw this and shouted, “DO IT!” In unison as Applejack threw the ball straight at Rainbow. Before Rainbow could do anything the ball hit her in the stomach as she went back a bit.
With Rainbow hit the coach stood up and whistled. “Rainbow dash is out! Sunsets team wins!” The coach said as Applejack fell on her knees breathing hard and holding her left arm happy knowing it was fine and Raditz and everyone cheered.
Goku and Mags team cheered as well although some were upset to lose many still had a great time as Goku looked at Raditz and nodded.
Flash and mag had both left the gym as they were out in the halls looking for Mags locker. Flash guided her as he smiled. “You know you did amazing in there right.” Flash said as Mag looked at the blur that was flash and nodded.
“Yes but I still got out by Sunset. I would have won but a few things happened that stopped that.” Mag hinted at Flash’s little action.
“Well we did lose a lot in the beginning but it was just a game, and we all had fun didn’t we?” Flash asked as Mag looked at him and nodded but didn’t say anything.
The hallway was quiet as Flash finally found Mags locker. “Here it is. I don't remember your code can you tell me it?” Flash asked as Mag just walked to it and did it herself. “Or you can do it.”
As Mag searched in her locker she finally found them and put on her new glasses. “Much better.” Mag said as she put them on and sighed, “well um thanks I guess.” Mag said turning to flash and closing her locker.
“Um yeah don’t mention it. I mean I am your boyfriend after all.” Flash said as Mag nodded and then turned away.
“It’s almost lunch. So we should just head there now I guess.” Mag said ignoring Flash’s comment.
“Um Mag? Are you okay?” Flash asked as Mag nodded and didn’t look at Flash.
“I am fine.” Mag responded quickly as she was trying to hold her anger back.
Flash walked up to Mag and hugged her as she quickly pushed away from him. “Flash! Look right now i don’t feel happy with you.” Mag said as Flash was confused
“What why not?” Flash asked as Mag turned around.
“First you join a team to fight this random senior, then when I tell you no you still join it. And finally you save Sunset from getting out. And you know you did don’t say you didn’t. With all the ki nonsense I know you made sure it flew our way stopping that ball. So right now I don’t want to see or talk to you. Just give me some time alight.” Mag said as Flash was sad knowing this was his fault.
“I’m sorry mag. I-... I didn’t…. alright then. I will be around.” Flash said as he turned around and walked away as Mag looked back at Flash and sighed. One tear leaving her eye.
Raditz walked over to Applejack as Goku walked over to Rainbow. “Hey Rainbow good job going all out until the end. I am surpised you and Applejack both improved so far.” Goku said as he helped Rainbow up.
“I still lost! How did I lose to someone who only had one hand to use in a fight? My form should have beaten Applejack. I thought about it so long and almost got hit a few times only to lose!” Rainbow said shocked as this time Goku helped her up and smiled.
“Yeah you did think about it and did well but you also have to use your brains in a battle. If you realized it sooner you would have felt your body giving out in certain parts such as mobility and even speed.”Goku told Rainbow as she looked confused
“What do you mean! I was fast and hard to get away from.” Rainbow said as Goku nodded
“At first you were fast and hard to get away from but after a while you used too much energy to fight on and soon your body collapsed on itself not able to hold so much energy and power. There is a better form than that one but it is good for a sudden push for power.” Goku explained as he slowly helped Rainbow to the bleacher and gently set her down.
“Then how would I find that better form you talked about.” Rainbow asked as Goku looked at Raditz and Applejack .
“You train and master it. You find what makes this form of yours good and bad and you try to figure a way to make it the best it can be.” Goku said as Rainbow looked at Goku and smiled.
Applejack was picked up by Raditz as everyone cheered around them. “Applejack! applejack! Applejack!” The students cheered as Applejack and Raditz smiled
Rarity nearby cheered as she looked around and saw that Rainbow was at the bleachers. Seeing Goku with Rainbow Rarity thought it best to just let Rainbow recover.
As Rarity was going to follow Raditz and Applejack she stopped and then looked at the coach who was busy taking with another student. Quickly and quietly Rarity ran off to the changing room and then exited with her normal clothes on. And as fast as she left the court she left the gym
“So how do you feel Applejack. You finally beat Rainbow and you had all the odds against you.” Raditz said as he gently sent Applejack down and smiled at her.
“I feel tired and a bit hurt but it’s just some stinging pain that I can handle. You and yer brother are crazy with their moves. If ya didn’t get him out I would have been a Goner.” Applejack said as Raditz scratched the back of his head.
“The coach seemed to have enjoyed that event. And I know me and Kakarot enjoyed it too. We need more fun things like this in school.” Raditz said as he and Applejack walked to the bleachers.
Most of the kids have started to walk to the changing rooms to change into their regular clothes.
“I know but I doubt Principal Celestia would allow that any time soon. So now that we started our training I am assuming we are gonna train hard now?” Applejack asked as Raditz nodded
“Yes but first you and Fluttershy will both go to visit dr Zecora.” Raditz said as Applejack looked confused.
“I understand why I have to go but why Fluttershy?” Applejack asked as Raditz looked at her and nodded.
“So she can ask to be trained by Zecora. We need a healer and if we don’t get one we could die and there is no coming back.” Raditz said as Applejack stopped and looked at Raditz
“Yeah I been meaning to ask ya what did ya plan to do if we can’t beat that sombra fellow?” Applejack asked as Raditz turned to her and looked down
“There might not be anything to do other than fall to him and let him win. But we won’t lose I know it. Even if he is stronger than us me and Kakarot will fight till the last drop of blood leaves our bodies. No one and I mean no one messes with me and thinks to get out of it in one piece.” Raditz said as he looked at Applejack and smiled. “And we will fight to the best we can.”
“Well… if ya say it like that then I will be by your side no matter what. Got it. I don’t care if it’s life or death I will try to help you with everything I can do.” Applejack said determinedly as Raditz heard this and felt something inside him.
“Never before has someone said they will fight along with me and actually say it from their own heart and not from fear.” Raditz thought as he wanted to hug Applejack but he refrained to wanting to look weak.
“Thank you Applejack… that means a lot.” Raditz said as he looked at her and gave her a kind and soft smile.
Applejack smiled back as the bell rang for lunch. “Woah I gotta change before I run out of time. Um see you at lunch! Save me a seat!” Applejack said as she ran off toward the changing room.
Raditz smiled and waved goodbye as he then stopped and looked at his hand and realizing the smile. “Should I be enjoying this feeling… Vegeta would kill me, nappa would be disgusted and dad would be more disappointed in me but… should I care for what they think now?” Raditz thought as he turned and walked to Rainbow and Goku. “Mom would be fine with this but mom is fine with many things. And plus Vegeta and Nappa are not even in this world. So what should I do…”
Raditz thought as he got to the two as Rainbow was just relaxing and chatting with Goku. “Hey Raditz I think that was the lunch bell. Let’s go get some food. I am starving.” Goku said as Raditz seemed to be thinking a lot. “Um Raditz?” Goku asked as he waved a hand infront of Goku.
Raditz snapped out of the train of thought and looked at Goku. “What Kakarot?” Raditz asked as he got his macho man mood back.
“I said that it is lunch, let's go get some food.” Goku said as Raditz then realized that he was hungry too. Not as much as yesterday but still hungry.
“Fine let’s go. I am a bit hungry.” Raditz said as Goku nodded and they started to walk out as Rainbow followed the two.
Sunset had followed most of the students outside of the gym but instead of going to the cafeteria she quickly walked to the computer room door and looked around as she waited there.
