"Hey, Michalu," asked Zoku, "stop that!" "Stop what?" "I'm not sure." BOOF!!! "I mean, nothing's moving except us and the robot." "Yeah, what's going on?" "I've tried to make it to where we can train for as long as we like. I may be able to hold the lock for 24 hrs. here- but in the frozen world, a year could pass, or so I've calculated." "Hey, I think I've heard of something like that before!" exclaimed Mateo, "It was called a Hyperbowlee Chamber or something."

So they started training, everybody powered up to Super Saiya-jin. They practiced fighting moves in an open field south of the tournament.

BOOOOOM! BOOOM! "HAAAA!!!" Poosh! "Zoku, having trouble?" "I can't do those energy blasts well, they're too hard." "We'll help." So, for months they taught Zoku, and he became one of the strongest. "HAAAAA!!" BOOOOOOSH!!! "Good"

After almost ten months, Michalu held the lock, but finally released it. They had all raised up to the height of the most powerful Super Saiya-jin, but Zoku was strange...

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Zoku screamed as though he were being killed. "Zoku, what's wrong?" Zoku was now glowing quite brightly, and he was coursing with electricity. His hair was longer, and he could float around! "I'm feeling better than I ever have before. It's the next stage of development!!" Super Saiya-jin 2 he had now become.

"Wow!!!" The boys tried sometime afterwards, and throughout the tourney, but couldn't yet reach the level.

Michalu and company headed back to the hotel, only to sleep. Michalu woke up sometime later, and looked out the window. He was tired from the energy exerted. He was now actually a month away from being 20, but he forgot. He would wait until his real birthday came. He looked much older and stronger. "Michalu," Dusten said, "Aren't you going to be late?" "Crap!!!" Michalu flew out the window.

DING! DING! DING! "Now Michalu, our amazing warrior friend, will face Pikodesu, our street style fighter from Namekious." "FIGHT!!!!"

They circled each other, waiting for his opponent to attack. Michal utok his chance. BWOOM! He disappeared. "Where has our friend Michalu gone?" The crowd's jaws dropped in awe.

Michalu was now far above the stadium, preparing his attack. "Kame, haaaame, kaaaaaaameeeeee, HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" BOOOOOOOOSH!!! A blast the size of the stadium rained down on Pikodesu. "Kaa, takko, hano, baccaaaaa!!!" His blast shot at the oncoming kame wave like a bullet, slamming into the blast, nearly pushing it back. BBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!! The whole entire planet shook from the explosion, and the crowd was nearly injured.

BWOOM! PAM! POOM! PAM! FWAM! POP! BAM! POOOOOSH!!! Michalu was battered face first into the floor of the stone arena, his whole body drilling into it, getting stuck.

"Ha, ha, ha." "It looks as if Pikodesu is our-" POOM!! Michalu powered up all the way, all his reamining power for blasts reverted to fighting. "Let's go."

PAM! SLAM! BOOSH! PAM! FWAP! BOOM!!! "Aarghh!" POOM! Pikodesu super-accelerated backwards, nearly falling out of the ring. He stood up dizzily, only to be knocked out by Michalu's fist.

Ding! Ding! Ding! "And Michalu has won again!!!" Everybody in the stands stood up with a round of applause, and Michalu stumbled off the ring, nearly collapsing.

The boys all crowded into a hovercraft and flew down the street towards the hotel, where they would spend the rest of the afternoon. They all slept for a few hours, save Michalu, who slept the rest of the day.

The boys then proceeded to train. The next match was pitting Zoku against Iceman. Everyone was play fighting. They strained to speed their punches and kicks down to a mere fraction of a second.

Dusten ran at Zoku, a 5 ft. 10 in. teen against a 6ft. 7 in. one. Dusten barely moved his mass an inch backward with all his force. Zoku picked Dusten up and threw him across the 25 yard courtyard. "WhoaaAAAA!" Pam. "Owww."

Ding! Ding! Ding! "Now we have our two super human friends, Iceman and Zoku!!!" "FIGHT!!"

POOM! PAM! WHOOSH!! Iceman was easily outmaneuvering Zoku. "Freeze!" Iceman yelled. Zoku was suddenly encased in a giant, solid block of ice. "WOW!" The announcer exclaimed, "He's not going anywhere!!" Zoku's eyes darted from the announcer to Iceman. He tried to smile.

CHHHHHH!!!!! CRRRRRRACK!!!! The ice blasted across the arena, pinning the announcer to the corner with a two foot long icicle. Iceman dodged them, flying at Zoku. Zoku went Super Saiya-jin 2. Iceman went to Super Saiya-jin, his blue hair turning gold. "Calve, desuuuu, toko, HAAA!!" Iceman's fiery, icy blue blast landed smack dab in Zoku's outstretched hands. "HAAAA!" He threw it into him a split second before he would have hit Zoku. Iceman quavered backwards into the one of the arena posts, bashing it out of the way into the stands. A fan took it as a souvenir. Iceman was out cold. "Zoku seems to be our winner!!!!"

Michalu awoke to the sound of laughing. He was in the room, and the boys were telling jokes over by the window.

He yawned, trying to remember when his next match was. "Oh Michalu, you're awake. You should have seen Zoku fight, he kicked the snot out of Iceman!!!" said Mateo. "Who am I facing next and when?" "You'll be facing Zoku in about an hour. Come on and we'll get somthin to eat." Evan replied.

An hour later, everyone piled into the stadium to watch Michalu and Zoku face-off. DING! DING! DING! "The match everyone has been waiting for- MICHALU vs. ZOKU!!!" "FIGHT!" yelled Geimeco.

Bwoom! PAM! POOSH! WHOOM! Zoku shot out a ki-blast at Michalu. "Whoa!" They both powered up to Super Saiya-jin. Zoku grinned and powered to SSJ2. Michalu grimaced. "HYDRO, SASAME, BLAST!!!" SPLOOSH! Water rained upon Michalu. "INFERNO, FIRE, NOVA!!!" The water sizzled and began to evaporate. As the last puddle disappeared, Zoku teleported behind Michalu. Michalu turned around, and they locked grips. "Arggh!!" Michalu and Zoku strained to push the other. Michalu finally buckled, but in a last desperate attempt, he slammed his fist into Zoku, and they both beagn to fly out of the ring!!

They tried as hard as they could, but couldn't fly up or forward. They skyrocketed backwards, and slammed into the walls on either side of the arena...

Ding! Ding! Ding! "WOW!" the announcer yelled, "Both participants in this battle have been disqualified at the same time! What a fight! Sorry boys, but the holdings in the champion ship match go to... Galgameth and Behemoth!!! This fight will hopefully last longer than the semi-final match in which they faced-off, for it took a mere minute for Galgameth to win. Come join us in a moment to conclude this week's fighting tournament." Michalu walked away amazed that he would not be in the championships he had tried so hard to reach.

Don't worry, you'll win the next one," Mateo commented, seeing the anguish in his face, "just train harder, and i'm sure that can do nothing but good. hey, at least you got past Round 1, hehehe!"

BOOM! BOOSH! WHAM! sounds of fighting entered their ears as all the boys left the stadium.

"I'm hungry again. How bout you?" "I'm starving." So the boys took a break from the world and ate...and ate...and ate...

They stayed at dinner for atleast two hours. They now realized how famished they had been, and how much fighting had been done. They could have fallen asleep, but headed back to the stadium.

PAM! BOOM! WHAM! The aliens were still fighting! They flew back down to the ground now. "Kai, do, crachen, toaaaah!!!" "Ho, te, cano, sei, doeeeee!!!" The two blasts collided.BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Four silhouette figures stepped out of the light and into the shadows as the arena exploded!!!
