EXECUTION: Son Goku is Strongest After All!! Vegeta is Eliminated

[vicedirector]

[ After Vegeta finishes speaking with everyone, the fire roars, so loudly and brightly that everyone will be temporarily blinded. When everyone's vision returns, Vegeta will be gone--but he will be visible within the fire just like the list before.

Vegeta appears at the center of a great arena in what appears to be the middle of no where. Everything appears to be normal— he looks as smug and angry as ever— but he seems to waiting. An empty wind blows and Vegeta is suddenly gone in a blink of an eye. Barely a half second later, a large blast of energy strikes the stadium. When the dust and rubble settles, a man flies down from the sky.

This is it, the fight Vegeta has been waiting for and he appears in the air in front of the man, an excited smile on his face and eyes wild with anticipation. The two , delivering hard punches and kicks at each other, throwing each other down into the ground until the arena breaks under them into ruins. The fight is long it last weeks and when it looks like it’s never going to end, they push each other back and hold their ground, sizing the other up. Vegeta is the first one to make his move, letting out a great blast, his hair turning gold and he lunges. The other does exactly the same, his hair turning gold and a flying right at Vegeta. Vegeta has the upper hand, pounding his opponent into the ground until a great crater forms around them, growing deeper and deeper with each punch. He’s winning and he moves in to deliver the last blow when the man suddenly catches his fist and tosses Vegeta aside.

It catches Vegeta off guard and he gets up, flying right back at the man only to get deflected again. He flies up into the air and goes to deliver a great energy blast. The explosion is so great, it destroys a large area around them— miles and miles of land completely destroyed. There’s no way any person could survive such a blast but before the dust can even settle, another blast comes right at Vegeta. He dodges and looks down at the epicenter of the attack— the man glares back up before charging at him. They fight in mid-air and the man slams Vegeta into the ground.

Before Vegeta can even get up, the man is back on top of him, pounding and pounding at him. Vegeta fires a smaller blast and manages to get back up but before he can fully recovered, he’s charged at again. Vegeta is reduced to merely blocking while the other man catches every single one of his attacks and finally gets a hard kick right at Vegeta’s face, knocking him back but before he even hits the ground, the man appears behind him fires a narrow blast of energy right through his chest.

Vegeta hits the ground and this time he doesn’t get up. He slowly bleeds onto the ground, choking on his own blood. He dies a slow and agonizing death but it isn’t over. In the sky, a great green dragon appears and in a great light, the scene resets itself. There is Vegeta, standing alone in the center of the same arena that is now as good as new. He looks around, briefly confused. A wind blows again and a blast hits the ground. The same scene unfolds and but some things are different— Vegeta dodges fewer hits, his attacks aren’t as effective as the first time around— he seems weaker. He dies the same way and is revived again, each time, getting weaker and weaker until finally, he can’t even dodge the first energy blast and dies in the explosion.

Still, the dragon revives him and again, the same blast kills him again and again with Vegeta powerless to stop his rival. ]

[ Is it bad that she kind of wants to popcorn this fight? Because she really wants to popcorn this fight, this is the kind of shonen anime nonsense you could never see in person.

Thankfully she doesn't show the slight bit of amusement, rather there's more or less awe because she knows she can't possibly reach to that kind of thing. But it's also kind of sad, too, so she just presses her lips firmly before turning around and leaving, not saying a word.

Not that she's said much to begin with, this trial. ]

[sobowtor]

[Welp.

And just like that, Vegeta's gone.]

I guess he was actually was kinda dumb...

[Sigh.]

[herbgrace]

Are you alright? [Their argument was so yesterday.]

[sobowtor]

[Poland shrugs.

She's not used to caring too much about the ends of these trials. She was practically giddy when Morrigan bit the dust last week.]

Who's gonna do a terrible job of blowing me up now?

[herbgrace]

I'm sure you can annoy someone else. [Though maybe not the kind of person who makes threats about blowing people up.]

[sobowtor]

[Poland gasps. Looking mock affronted.]

Me? Annoying?

Never.

[It lacks her usual enthusiasm. You wanna go for a walk away from this fire, Liet? We should go for a walk, Liet.]

[herbgrace]

[Time to do the weird bff mind-reading thing.] Let's take a walk outside while it's still safe to do so.

[sobowtor]

[Poland looks more than pleased to get away from this bonfire.]

It's probably already too late. What'd you get struck down with this time?

[herbgrace]

Sore throat. [Her voice is getting rougher as she speaks. But it's fine.]

1/2

[sobowtor]

[Poland frowns.

That sounds worse than stomach pain to her.]

...

2/2

[sobowtor]

[She'll be considerate and not drag the conversation out too much then.]

...I want to go home.

[herbgrace]

[Lithuania nods.] Me too.

[sobowtor]

[Poland wraps her arms around Lithuania's arm, leaning against her shoulder.]

[dhaosu]

[ Dhaos has never been a fan of violence, but like with Morrigan's he does make sure to watch the entire show go down. He gives a small, low chuckle at the end, but it is definitely one entirely without mirth.

Serves him right, for his so-called "reasons" and killing Selena. ]

...What a fool, even to the end.
