DBZ Goten : Become Stronger By Defeating Your Opponent

On the competition stage, Gohan's eyes narrowed as he watched Hit save Saonel. He knew Hit's reputation as the legendary assassin of Universe 6 and felt the weight of his presence. Gohan's face grew solemn, fully aware of the formidable challenge Hit presented.

Across from him, Hit's gaze remained cold, unreadable. He moved with a calm precision, his body shifting as he turned into a blur of purple light, rushing straight toward Gohan.

Recognizing the threat, Gohan clenched his fists, his energy flaring as he surged forward to meet Hit. The two clashed, fists colliding with a force that sent shockwaves across the stage. Meanwhile, Saonel, who had been teetering at the edge of the stage, rushed toward Piccolo. He knew that staying on the edge would only make him an easy target.

Piccolo saw Saonel's approach and immediately unleashed a volley of energy blasts, each one blazing toward his opponent.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The energy waves erupted around Saonel, forcing him to dodge, weaving from side to side to avoid Piccolo's relentless assault. The ground around him shook with each explosion, sending debris flying.

On the other side of the stage, Gohan and Hit's fight raged with raw intensity.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Each strike from their fists seemed to carry the weight of a thousand punches, the ground around them trembling from the sheer power of their blows.

Bang!!

After a flurry of exchanges, Hit activated his Flash Time Power, vanishing in an instant and reappearing behind Gohan. With a swift, devastating punch, he struck Gohan, sending him staggering back.

Meanwhile, Piccolo and Saonel continued their struggle, each trying to outmaneuver the other. Piccolo's attacks drove Saonel back, his strikes calculated and unyielding. Both fighters had moments of advantage, each skillfully countering the other's moves.

"Ha!" Gohan shouted, charging at Hit with renewed determination.

As Gohan closed in, Hit activated his Flash Time Technique once more, disappearing and reappearing directly in front of Gohan. His fist shot forward, landing a fierce blow to Gohan's abdomen.

"Ugh!" Gohan gasped, spitting out a mouthful of bitter fluid as the impact reverberated through his body.

"Gohan!" Piccolo's voice rang out, concern evident as he immediately broke away from his battle with Saonel and rushed to Gohan's side.

Seeing this, Saonel let out a sigh of relief. But before he could react further, a sudden, unseen force struck him with brutal intensity, launching him off the stage.

Grand Priest: "Universe 6, Saonel is out!"

Saonel's body vanished, teleported back to the audience seats in Universe 6's section.

"What happened to you?" Champa demanded, glaring at Saonel with a mixture of anger and confusion. "Why did you suddenly fall off the stage?"

Saonel scratched his head, bewildered. "I… I don't know. I felt a powerful force, like someone pushed me down!"

Champa's eyes narrowed. "Pushed you down? There was no one near you!"

"I'm certain of it," Saonel replied. "I felt an intense, invisible power knock me off balance."

Vados, standing nearby, looked thoughtful. "Lord Champa, could it be… an invisible fighter?"

Champa's eyebrows shot up. "An invisible man?"

Vados nodded. "The universe is vast, Lord Champa. There are bound to be beings with abilities that allow them to remain unseen."

Champa's eyes widened as he shouted a warning toward the stage, his voice carrying across the battlefield. "Hit, be careful! There might be an invisible fighter among you!"

Though the warning was directed at his own team, it alerted everyone on the stage, their gazes shifting warily as they scanned their surroundings.

Hearing this, Hit immediately retreated. He hadn't intended to fight extensively, having stepped in only to save Saonel. But now that his teammates were out, he saw no need to engage with Gohan and Piccolo any further. He knew that if he continued, he risked facing Goku and the others as well, and he wanted to avoid that confrontation until absolutely necessary.

As Hit backed away, Gohan's aura dimmed, his transformation fading as he reverted to his normal form. Exhausted, he took several deep breaths, feeling the strain from his clash with Hit.

At that moment, Goten approached with Android 21. She knelt beside Gohan, her hands glowing as she began to heal his injuries.

"Lord Grand Priest, Universe 7 is using healing techniques! They're breaking the rules!" Champa's voice boomed across the arena, his tone accusing.

"Champa, you bastard!" Beerus snarled, his fists clenched in anger.

The Grand Priest turned his gaze toward Android 21, his expression calm. "She isn't using any external drugs. This is an ability of her own, so it doesn't count as a foul."

Champa's face twisted in frustration, his teeth gritted in fury. Seeing Champa's reaction, Beerus laughed triumphantly.

With Android 21's help, Gohan's wounds healed quickly, and he felt a surge of relief. "Thank you, Android 21," he said, smiling gratefully.

Android 21 nodded, but before anyone could relax, Piccolo suddenly jerked forward, his body reacting to an unseen attack.

"Uncle Piccolo, what happened?" Gohan asked, alarmed.

"I think… I was attacked," Piccolo replied, his eyes scanning the area around him, his posture tense.

"Could it be the invisible fighter Lord Champa mentioned?" Gohan asked, his tone serious.

Piccolo nodded slowly. "It's very likely."

Bang!! Without warning, Android 21 was struck, stumbling forward several steps from the impact.

Goten's eyes narrowed, frustration evident on his face. He raised his hands, unleashing a barrage of energy waves into the environment around them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The energy blasts struck the ground, creating thick clouds of dust and smoke that filled the air.

"Goten, what are you doing?" Gohan asked, confused.

Goten didn't respond immediately, his gaze focused as he watched the dust settle. After a moment, the airborne particles began to cling to an otherwise invisible form, gradually revealing the outline of a chameleon-like creature. Covered in sand and dust, the figure became unmistakable.

The invisible fighter, Gamisalas, had been exposed. A warrior from Universe 4, his camouflage ability had given him an edge until now. Unaware he'd been discovered, Gamisalas remained still, trying to assess his next move.

Gohan and the others exchanged glances, a confident smile spreading across Goten's face. Without hesitation, Goten clenched his right fist, and a ripple of energy extended outward as he transported his punch directly in front of Gamisalas.

Before the chameleon could react, Goten's fist connected with a resounding impact, sending Gamisalas flying off the stage.

Grand Priest: "Universe 4, Gamisalas is out!"

Gamisalas reappeared in Universe 4's spectator section, where Quitela, his universe's god, glared at him in fury.

"You idiot!" Quitela snapped, his fists clenched in rage. "How could you not notice you'd been found?"

Gamisalas cringed under Quitela's glare. "I… I'm sorry, Lord Quitela! I didn't realize they'd spotted me…"

A notification suddenly echoed in Goten's mind, a familiar voice filling his thoughts. "Ding! Congratulations to the host for defeating Gamisalas and acquiring the ability to become invisible!"

Goten felt a surge of satisfaction. The system voice had granted him skills from previous defeated opponents, but none had been particularly impressive until now. Gamisalas's stealth ability, however, was something unique—an invaluable tool that could give him an edge in future battles.

…

Elsewhere on the stage, Vegeta stood tall after vanquishing a group of opponents. He barely had time to catch his breath when a short, blue-skinned figure in a Pride Troopers uniform appeared in his path. Vegeta recognized him immediately: K'nsi, a member of Universe 11's elite squad.

The two warriors clashed, fists flying in rapid succession as they moved across the stage, their forms blurring with the speed of their strikes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Their punches connected with bone-rattling force, each attack matched with equal precision. The ground beneath them cracked under the strain, debris scattering with every movement.

After a fierce exchange, Vegeta's aura flared as he transformed into Super Saiyan Blue, his power radiating across the arena. With a swift, decisive punch, he struck K'nsi in the abdomen, sending him hurtling backward.

Boom!! K'nsi crashed into the rock debris behind him, his body slumping as he tried to recover.

Just then, another figure appeared by his side—a towering dinosaur-like warrior with earthy yellow skin. It was Vewon, another Pride Trooper, and an ally of K'nsi from Universe 11.

Vegeta's eyes narrowed, a smirk forming on his lips. "Two against one? Fine by me… I'll take you both on!"
