(Kron-POV)
Goku one, Cabba while stronger in his base, under-powered state was not able to keep up such a new transformation as the 'Super Saiyan' transformation, losing by way of attrition or endurance, both. Goku looked a natural in teaching the Saiyan from the universe six, though now they we were one opponent away from winning this thing and getting back home. Also winning the prize as well, both these Super Dragon balls that floated around us, as large as the rock we stood on which also required us searching for the seventh and last one.
The other reward was the use of the black star dragon balls, which Beerus and Whis decided on keeping, so that was on the table for us as well.
"Contestant Goku moves on to the fifth opponent of team six!! Cabba was able to… transform into a warrior of light, much like the warrior Goku showed him before. Now contestant Goku fights against the contestant Hit! Come on down into the arena contestant hit." That one, who looked bored as he sat there, though there was a spark of interest during Cabba and Goku's fight, he now stood up and gazed down at Goku, who looked back in challenge.
Hit then flickered downwards, landing in the ring and done a brief stint of stretches, most to do with his neck, arms and body. This Hit then walked forwards, closer to where Goku stood and they awaited the start of the next, possibly the last bout of the tournament here.
"Hit, huh. Kakarot is doing me a service in seeing how this one fights. But look at him, he looks calm… what an arrogant fool. Though I can feel that he is strong, Kakarot had better make this one sweat. I'll be fighting him should that buffoon lose." Beerus, sitting down with Whis then replied, looking towards Vegeta.
"Arrogant? Like you Saiyan King? Nah, you're dreaming on that statement. By the by that one looks familiar, I know he's from that fat, idiot brother of mines universe though there is something to him... Whis, who is this Hit. I also sense how strong he is, he'll make for an excellent match. Talk about saving your best for last. Kek kek." Whis replied, slowly.
"Lord, from what I've been given from Vados… though I had to give up information on our last participant here… Kron, to gleam information, just background information- nothing to put Kron here at a disadvantage… nor Hit. He is a professional assassin. In fact he is the most talented one in the entire sixth universe. As Vados put it, stories of his exploits claim that not a single target has ever escaped his reach… Vados explained… they call him 'Never-Miss Hit'." Vegeta chuckled briefly, as Tien said with some awe.
"Huh, so you're brother guy… destroyer god hired an assassin for his team. Well, at least he will be following the rules of the arena and especially the 'no killing rule' otherwise hearing of such a guy would have put me in an uncomfortable position." Piccolo grunts, nodding along with him.
"Yeah… and even after Cabba transforming, it sparked little to none interest in him. I know, I was watching the fighters not having been in the tournament yet for how'd they react to Goku. He barely showed any interest, which was in itself, telling…"
"What sort of information did you give up to your sister, Whis." I asked, impassively while turning to eye him with some hint of annoyance. Though Whis seemingly was not intimidated, he spoke while his gaze remained transfixed on the beginning of the fight, which as of now was awaiting for Lord Beerus to begin the match via Ki-blast.
"Hmm, well I told her some basic things of course. That you're married to and mentioned everyone of your wives or in Zangya's case, mate… and also about your history while on earth. As for your history on the planet Vegeta… I kept that and your exploits on the planet Remnant out of the information dump. Though she was extremely… interested in how much woman you have been able to marry, which as I speak this aloud I-" Vegeta grunted, turning to Kron and glaring a warning, he wanted this conversation over so he could see the next fight, so he can watch Hit with precision so he would have an advantage should Goku lose.
"-Lord Whis, we're not interested in how you've found out about that Hit guy. What I'm interested in is his fighting prowess and to do that, I have to see him fighting Kakarot down there! Lord Beerus, could you-" Beerus sent a narrowed gaze at Vegeta, for the Saiyan king had in this point of time, forgotten his place it seemed.
With the Ki now engulfing Beerus, just a tinge of energy highlighting his form… made Vegeta step back, shutting up.
"My, my Vegeta, but yeah the Monkey king is well in the right of it. Forget about that information lady attendant Vados knows now about you Kron, and be ready encase the other two fail to win… This one, there must be a reason Champa hired this assassin goon as his last soldier for this." of course I frowned, hearing that the pervert angel over there, the one who was reading my mind occasionally now knew more about me had me on edge, knowing how strong Whis is.
I've got Cinder coming over regularly, becoming real friendly with some of my wives while I've noticed Dabura, whenever he came to see me a few times, his sister would be either in the area or further away… close enough. So I wasn't blind to them circling like sharks, as they say.
"Whatever, start this farce Beerus. Tien, go eat with your wife. When I was over there before, she was interested in having lunch with you, though she made me ask you instead of coming over." Tien, seeing the tension here loosen, nodding with a half-smile, replying quickly.
"yeah, sure. That is- I am hungry and also, I am eliminated anyways. I might as well. Later's guys." he sent Piccolo q quick nod, who looked back at Tien but turned quickly to face where Hit and Goku, now no longer transformed into a 'Super Saiyan Three'.
"Alright… start it already lord Beerus." the Namekian said, Beerus chuckling darkly, that sickly purple Ki of his lighted up on his finger, the tiny Ki blast shot straight up and begun the round, the announcer calling out after the fact.
"Begin!!"
(Goku-POV)
Goku sized him up some more, now powered up in just 'Super Saiyan Two' to conserve more of his energy knowing that using the third transformation would drain a lot more. Hit didn't moved none from his spot, neither did he assume a fighting stance just yet.
'What is taking these guys, I want to get started already. Using 'Kaio-Ken' last round was a huge drain on my stamina… though when I jump to 'Super Saiyan Blue' I should be eased a bit, then this Hit guy will show me his fighting techniques… he'll have no choice.' Goku grinned, determined to get the best out of this last fight, seeing that Hit was also the last opponent to face, Goku would go all out on this one, 'Kaio-Ken'… 'Super Saiyan Blue'… the works.
Beerus Ki was felt, that god energy of his fluttering briefly and Goku hardened his stance, his right leg sliding forwards slowly while he leaned forwards, arms at the ready for striking, Hit remained impassive in his stance, though he took a few more steps forwards simply to close the gap on their starting positions, Goku found it strange at first but paid it as Hit eager to see how strong Goku is.
"Hey Hit, I've had fun fighting you're comrades and even seeing that there are Saiyan's in your universe; even teaching them about us Saiyan's from the seventh universe. But now, I plan on not holding back anymore. So I'll say, I expect you to come at me with your all too." Hit stared at him, not answering with his gaze flickering between where Beerus and the others were and back to Goku.
'Yeah, he's serious. This is going to be good-' the sound that signaled the start of the tournament, made by Beerus firing his blast at it ringed in Goku's ears, so he flickered forwards multiple times in quick succession, testing out the waters for the first seconds of their bout, Hit flashing forwards in afterimages that matched his own.
The first blow Goku landed was blocked in a faster manner than he realized his opponent capable of. Goku smirked, continuing to strike when in a flicker more stranger than usual, Hit landed his blow, striking him through a hastily put-up defensive block, Goku taking the blow with a smirk.
'Man, he's something.' he wiped the blood from his mouth, then afterimaged away from where Hit stood, gazing at him.
(Tien-POV)
He watched attentively, eating nearby to Yang while she chatted off Pyrrha's ears, his too. Though with a mouth constantly filling with food, he did burn a lot of fuel anyway. The island had Merus and that Jaco guy on it, Merus sitting down near to Tien and eating Tien's food! Jaco showing some decency in not taking his hard-earned meal.
You see it too Tien." Merus began, now no longer chewing and having swallowed the healthy meal Tien's wife made. "That guy… his speed is abnormal… don't you think so- oh, you cannot answer. Just nod." Tien did so, not wanting to stop with his delicious meal, he was watching the fight, though barely begun and had seen the sort of fighting stance Hit had now taken, now taking Goku seriously. The initial few seconds this Hit guy moved almost… pulsing in position, moving while afterimaging in an almost fluid motion, leaving multiple of him as he moved along which while impressive, was not something new to Tien. It was the fact Hit was almost seemingly predicting Goku when he attacked, able to counter and that last hit, struck Goku with piercing accuracy, even making his old friend flinch from that blow.
'Yeah, he is impressive. Goku is going to have to get serious from the get-go if he wants to fight a good fight against this guy.' Tien telepathically replied, continuing to eat, though eyeing Merus briefly before his normal eyes turned back to the fight, his third eye upon his forehead still looking at the assortment of food arrayed in front of him.
'It's like he's able to skip ahead, his speed is faster than Goku as he currently is-' Merus paused, their mental conversation died mid-chat when the battle resumed, starting with the transformation of Goku, his Ki now glowing that deep shimmering blue, he went back on the offensive while Hit, now in his fighting stance once more, resumed his role on the defensive.
Tien watched as Goku, his speed now off the charts, was still being intercepted by Hit, who continued to land his counters in unpredictable ways, moving with overwhelming afterimaging to strike with one blow after another. He seemed to only go for a weak-spot on Goku's body, even mostly bypassing Goku's own defensive guard and striking in ways that had Goku stumbling. Tien finally swallowed, speaking aloud as Yang and Pyrrha glanced his way.
"Goku is looking wobbly out there, that Hit guy is accurate with his attacks, no wasted movements. His attacks Goku looks like he's figuring things out… though how long can he keep up with being targeted in such dangerously critical areas of his body."
"I can see, his attacks are pin point. He is no slouch with his attacks. Looks to be highly experienced in countering blows, and that speed allows him to go on the offensive as well as the defensive whenever fancy suits him. Wonder if he's weapon trained…" Pyrrha said, Raven nearby hummed in agreement, as Yang in her boisterous way, added with a smirk, Tien knew she was about to tease him with some remark or two, as she did.
"you'd be easily defeated Tien, much is easy to see should you have made it passed the cheating bastard Frieza-reject. That one I wouldn't mind giving a go at, breaking his face in. You'd like that right-"
"-You can mind your flirting to the privacy of your domicile you silly girl, Vegeta is going to be facing this Hit right after should Goku prove incapable to defeat him. I noticed that Goku has been able to predict some of those blows, though he is looking like he is figuring things out… I'm not sure it would matter, seeing how fatigued Goku made himself when he empowered the skinny Saiyan lad from the sixth universe." Yang made a face towards Tien, hidden behind her long, luscious hair and out of sight of her mother… Tien not smiling outwardly as he remained impassive, though by the twitch of his right eye Yang knew that she got a reaction from him. Raven continued.
"Vegeta looks like he's figuring things out as well. I know he won't appreciate you're meddling though, best to let him have his fight and not pass off our impressions of this Hit as factual evidence. Let the grouch figure things out." Tien nodded, knowing Vegeta would be arrogant in saying he wouldn't want help. Though maybe Kron would appreciate their musings, Tien was also sure that their fifth teammate was also figuring things out and, had the advantage in being their last pick, so as to be able to study Hit even more than Vegeta.
"Well, Goku isn't out of this yet guys, no need to give up on him yet. And thanks for the meal Tien." Krillin landed nearby, hearing their theories and helping himself to Tien's home cooked meal, which made his third eye twitch now.
"Help yourself…" Tien said, then adding.
"Each strike from Hit is also proceeded by that loud 'ting' sound. And That purple flash of aura that is enunciated with each blow. It is definitely a technique of some kind-" Tien frowned momentarily, frowning only briefly when that other Galactic patroller spoke over him.
"-I think I see it now." that guy, Jaco interrupted him without any decency, Tien didn't say nothing and wanted to hear what the guy wanted to say.
"He seems to be skipping in time, though by a very minuscule amount-" Merus interrupted then, his eyes widened as he spoke, his head tilting forwards to more carefully eye the current battle between Goku and Hit, now resuming their bout after a moment of speaking to one another.
"The Galactic king would know more, he is wise beyond his years."
(Piccolo-POV)
"Tien is busy filling his mouth… though now, their theories they throw back and forth are… interesting." he said to Kron and Vegeta, Vegeta answering only with a scoff, enjoying the battle that ensued down on the arena. Kron looked at him, replying.
"Oh? What's up. I am at least, interested. I wager I'll be fighting the guy after all-" Vegeta scoffed once more, this time glaring at Kron, though Kron's eyes flashed green momentarily, his aura spiked with a flash, also flaring with a very familiar, very green tinge that Broly… and Kron's daughter Bulla were known to have with their energy. The 'mutation' that was the 'legendary Super Saiyan' blood ran strong in Kron these days, was lesser to his daughter and Broly though, but nevertheless he gained greatly from that blood that changed his 'Super Saiyan' forms to their mutated forms. As expected, Vegeta only laughed as he turned from Kron, speaking.
"I'll have you know that, should Kakarot lose this in his shameful display in strengthening that Saiyan from the sixth universe, making a stronger opponent… which I applaud as a warrior, we've got our planet to think of. Kakarot should have known better than to wager his home. But I'll say this, you'll won't be fighting this guy Kron… I'll be fighting you; even beating you as well when we find the perfect landscape the reshape in our climatic battle-"
"-…You were saying Piccolo, what are they discussing over there, with Tien." Kron said over Vegeta, only earning a chuckle from Beerus from nearby, him saying that he 'liked when the monkey's barred their teeth to one another; made for a good show to watch. Like a Soap opera… whatever that is.'
Piccolo smirked, even chuckling at Vegeta's expense. The guy was supposed to be the king and yet, he constantly tried to one-up Kron and often times even Goku, two rivals that he would constantly fight. And honestly Piccolo thought Vegeta only wore the crown for the sake of it these days, his father was a constant thorn in his side Piccolo found, the guy wanting Vegeta to move to Sadala and consolidate power there.
Winter Schnee was still the undisputed leader of that planet though, her and Bulma with their conjoint company 'K.B.S Industries Corporation'.
"Tien is speaking with our sparring partner Merus, that other galactic patroller Jaco who is one of their teams 'aces', your wife Pyrrha, Tien's wife Yang and Vegeta's wife-"
"-Haa! My daughter in law is a dunderhead, just like that fool Kakarot out there. What has she got to say, Raven at least has sense unlike her." Vegeta joked, malicious or not… Piccolo didn't care about their family dynamic and replied.
"As you say, she didn't have much to say-"
"-As I knew-" Piccolo spoke over him, ignoring the Saiyan 'king'.
"-Right, but the strongest theory going on over there is that, according to that Jaco guy, that guy Hit might be skipping in time… somehow. A technique or some kind of racial trait." Piccolo didn't hear Kron reply, though he was taking his words seriously indicated by his nod, Vegeta cackled briefly while watching Goku down below, now using 'Kaio-Ken' intertwined with his 'Super Saiyan Blue'. Whis hummed loudly as lord Beerus sighed loudly, speaking up.
"Haa… I see it, what is it Whis… one fifth, one something-"
"-One-tenth my lord exactly lord-" Beerus waved him off, a little annoyed, Piccolo supposed over this guy Hit having something that sounded to be a special skill or something.
"-Bah. Right, the guy has a special skill and Champa over there is hoping to get the better of me with that guy… Well, I've got the upper hand and Goku is still holding strong. I'm still confident in my victory." Piccolo guessed correctly though he was not liking Goku's chances out there. He was fighting as hard as their spars- no! Even harder than even the spars between Vegeta or Kron. Possibly even both. Champa was certainly no slouch for having such a guy as this in his team.
Piccolo even noticed the destroyer god of their universe seven to be staring out at his brother, noting their rivalry was as fierce as Kron and Vegeta or Vegeta and Goku.
"Watch close Vegeta, instead of yapping.
