Chapter Twelve- Round Two
Author's Note- Sorry I haven't updated... It takes me awhile to type these things. I don't own DBZ. I will try to get the next chapter out by next Saturday. There will be alot more action coming up! So stay tuned!



The first battle of the second round is between Nerissa and Super Saiyaman. They shake hands, smiling at each other. Nerissa is up for the challenge. Gohan refuses to go on, offense, he wants to test her.

Nerissa accepts the test and starts throwing punches. Gohan whispers so only Nerissa can hear.

"Please beat me."

Nerissa understands. Gohan doesn't want to fight Goku or Piccolo. Nerissa obeys and use a cheap shot to knock Gohan from the ring.

Videl is the one to help Gohan up, "That was a real cheap shot. You should have won."

"Thanks," Gohan mumbles, blushing.

Now the battle is between Goku and Piccolo. Both have been waiting for this moment. It is a tough battle but Goku wins easier than expected.

Piccolo smirks, "Now you'll have to face my girl."

"That was the plan all along, wasn't it?" Goku helps Piccolo up.

"Yes." Piccolo grins.

"Your mermaid should be a pleasant challenge."

"You just wait." Piccolo smiles sadistically, "Good luck."

"I guess I'll need it."

During the break between the rounds, Vegeta has confronted and cornered Nerissa, "You cheat, you naughty girl."

"I didn't cheat." Nerissa is pushed against the wall.

"You will have to beat Kakarott, now." Vegeta closes in on her.

"I haven't shown my true potential. Goku is not stronger than me."

Vegeta leans in closer, putting his hands against the wall trapping her, "You still marrying that Namek?"

"Yes, I love him."

Vegeta kisses her roughly on the lips. Nerissa punches him in the gut.

"Conserve your energy." Vegeta grabs her second violent swing.

"Then don't tempt me." Nerissa yanks her fist from his grasp and glares at him.

Piccolo clears his throat, "Am I interrupting something?"

"No," Nerissa escapes and leads Piccolo away.

"Are you alright?" Piccolo rests his hand on her shoulders and gently massages them.

Nerissa sighs, "He kissed me."

"What! I'll kill him!" Piccolo squeezes Nerissa's shoulders roughly.

"Ow." Nerissa says jokingly.

"Sorry." Piccolo releases her shoulders and pats them.

"I can't fight." Nerissa looks into Piccolo's dark eyes.

"Why not?" Piccolo tilts his head.

"I'm too flustered. I'm sorry. I've let you down." Nerissa disappears.

"I guess it worked." Vegeta walks up with a smirk plastered on his face.

"You bastard!" Piccolo decks Vegeta who reels back in surprise.

Goku runs over and pulls Piccolo and Vegeta apart, "Break it up!"

"I'm going to kill him, this time!" Piccolo glares, snarling at Vegeta.

"What happened?" Goku asks.

"She worked so hard to learn how to fight and he managed to fluster her!" Piccolo struggles to pull free from Goku's grasp.

"Where is she?" Goku asks still restraining Piccolo.

"I don't know. She used instant transmission."

"How does she know that?" Goku asks surprised.

"I could just show her a past battle and she'd pick up that attack." Piccolo sighs, seizing his struggle, "I think she's better off not fighting."

"Now, what did you do, Vegeta?" Goku turns to Vegeta.

"None of your business, Kakarrott!" Vegeta snaps.

"He kissed her." Piccolo answers the question.

The tournament announcer walks up, "Where's Miss Nerissa?"

"We are looking for her." Goku disappears forgetting that Piccolo and Vegeta are still at each other's throats. Vegeta and Piccolo get into a battle.

Goku watches Nerissa as she runs her hand along the rippling water.

"What do you want, Goku?" Nerissa asks without turning to face him.

"You don't want to fight, do you?" Goku questions as he sits next to Nerissa.

"I don't like to fight but Piccolo loves it so much." Nerissa sighs.

"You'll have to tell him." Goku coaxes.

"He's happy."

"You can't just lie." Goku says calmly.

"He doesn't need to know."

"Just like he didn't need to know that you were dying."

"It is not the same."

"It is exactly the same!"

"You haven't seen how happy he is when I fight!" Tears run down her cheek.

"Yes I have. But that is no excuse."

"I will fight to make him happy!"

"Oh NO!" Goku whacks his forehead.

"What is it?" Nerissa asks frantic.

"I just remembered I left Vegeta and Piccolo alone!"

"You did, what!" Nerissa teleports back to the tournament.

Piccolo is lying on the ground, just barely escaping a Final Flash attack. His arm is not so lucky; he no longer has a right arm. Vegeta is about to throw the final blast to kill the Namek.

"NO!!!!" Nerissa runs up and throws her body over Piccolo's unconscious body.

"What makes you think I won't just blast through you?" Vegeta growls pretty beat up from the fight.

"Don't be stupid." Nerissa stands face-to-face with the warrior. Well not really since she is taller.

Vegeta smirks lowering his arm, "Do you really want to fight me, girl? Without rules I will not pause in killing you."

A crowd is gathered around the warriors. Nerissa ignores Vegeta and kneels beside her love.

"Piccolo, are you alright?" She gets no response, which angers her, "YOU JERK! I can't believe you!"

"He was the one who started it," Vegeta crosses his arms smugly.

Nerissa punches Vegeta in the face which Vegeta did not expect. Blood drips from his face onto her fist. She sees the crimson blood and stumbles back surprised. Vegeta wipes the blood from his mouth with the back of his white glove. Piccolo has just waken up to see the punch and Nerissa's reaction.

Nerissa looks at the blood on her pale white skin. Tears drip onto her hand washing the blood away. She has never caused anyone to bleed before.

Vegeta looks at her confused by her tears, "What? Did you hurt your fist on my face, or what?"

"No…" She turns back to Piccolo who has regenerated his arm, then she looks to Goku. She kneels next to Piccolo and heals him, "I'm sorry I cannot do this."

Piccolo looks at the shell around his neck and takes it in his hand, "What blackens your soul?"

"Fighting. I cannot do it. You were right. I am not a fighter."

Piccolo hold her tightly and protectively, "Shh… you don't have to fight anymore."

"Someone better fight in the finals!" The announcer shouts.

"I will fight Kakkarott." Vegeta smirks, getting the fight he wanted.

"Are you alright?" Piccolo asks Nerissa who is deathly pale.

"I've used too much energy," Nerissa faints in his arms.

"She's different, Goku. I'll see you around." Piccolo flies off carrying Nerissa.

Vegeta loses to Goku in the finals.
