Episode 10 has made it! This story takes place at around the same time as most of the next one.

Goku had been enjoying a sandwich at Ichigo’s Ramen shop. “Nothing like a great sandwich to start the morning!” Goku exclaimed as he downed half of the sandwich with a single bite. He hadn’t fought anybody in a while and was really itching for a fight. Goku figured that the higher his rank in the tournament got, the more chance he would have of fighting an extremely powerful opponent.

Sitting next to Goku was a guy with a necklace made of red rubies and an orange hat. “hiccup, hit me with another round waiter,” Ace D Portgas said as he lifted his cup. “That’s enough for you…both of you!” Ichigo said as he snatched their cups away. “You’ve already eaten your way through most of my shop’s supplies!”

“Fine, I’m going, but the sandwich was Great,” Goku said as he finished the rest and headed outside. Ace followed. “Hey, you’re in that Tournament Smashers thing right?” He inquired. “Yeah, I’m gonna test my strength against all of the greats!” Goku replied.

“Yeah? How about we fight then,” Ace said as he took off his hat. “Not a bad idea!” Goku exclaimed as he turned to face Ace. Before they could fight, a voice rang out. “Ace…You will know…PAIN!” Before Ace could turn around a mysterious being appeared and punched him into the air. “I better slow my decent fast!” Ace thought as he used fire to stop his fall. If he had fell into the mountain it would have all been over. He’d been launched an incredibly large distance and couldn’t even see Goku anymore. “hopefully that guy will be all right,” Ace thought as the being appeared in front of him.

“Ace!” Goku yelled as he prepared to charge after him. Suddenly the world exploded into a flash of light in front of him. Goku hit the ground hard. A being who looked as if he were made of cosmic energy appeared. “My name is Tabuu…and it’ll be the last thing you hear,” he said with an air of indifference and he raised his palm.

He shot an incredibly large shockwave that hit Goku and blasted him into the ground. Tabuu turned to fly off, but Goku got up. “I don’t go down that easily,” Goku said as he got into a battle stance. “You may wish that you had,” Tabuu responded as an energy whip appeared in his hand.

He swung at Goku with incredible speed, but Goku easily dodged. Tabuu swung it dozens of times at extremely high speeds, but Goku kept sidestepping it. Finally he caught the whip and gave it a tug. Tabuu was hurled towards Goku before he could let go and for the first time of his life he felt a bit of fear.

“See ya later!” Goku happily said as he punched Tabuu in the stomach. The shockwave shattered whole buildings that were near and created a giant crater. “You’re pretty tough…I actually didn’t have to hold back my power much there,” Goku said as he dropped Tabuu to the ground.

“Don’t think this is over yet saiyan,” Tabuu said as he staggered to his feet. “Don’t even try it. If we kept fighting you may die,” Goku responded without looking back. “Arrogance!” Tabuu yells with fury as he transforms into a fish looking object.

Energy started to wrap around Tabuu. His power level was increasing at an incredibly rapid rate. “So, you had a trump card did ya? I guess it can’t hurt to show you mine,” Goku said as he started powering up. “I only learned this like a day ago so I haven’t perfected it yet. I can really only keep it up for about an hour, but it’ll be enough,” Goku said as his hair started glowing.

“What’s this!” Tabuu thought as Goku’s energy increased over 400X. “This guy….he may just be unbeatable!” Tabuu thought as Goku’s transformation ended. He now had long, golden hair and an aura of thunder around him. “Let’s end this,” Goku said as he went into a kamehameha stance. His voice sounded gruff…almost evil.

Tabuu quickly fired his ultimate blast. “DIE SAIYAN!!!!” he yelled as he neared Goku. “KAMEHAMEHA!” Goku replied as he shot an overwhelmingly large beam. The two beams banged with an impact that leveled miles worth of earth. By this point, Tabuu knew that he was as good as dead, but it had been a good fight and that was all that he could ask for. \

The Kamehameha engulfed his beam and enveloped him. Tabuu’s last thought was “If there is ever a being stronger than this saiyan…we will all die,” with that last thought he crashed against the ocean floor and the blast made a giant tsunami.

Goku kept it from hitting any cities with his aura. Then Goku reverted back to his normal form. That guy was quite the fighter he said as he landed. “I hope that guy’s been able to hold off his opponent while I was fighting!” Goku said as he tried to find Ace’s ki. “Nothing,” Goku thought. The victory felt a bit more hollow now. Goku flew off.
