39 Multiform

*Screech*

After another bout Raditz skidded to a stop, his Saiyan boots giving him a better grip compared to Tien, who kept going for a bit longer before stopping.

Smiling a smile that was full of pride, Raditz folded his hands, and from behind his fur covered waist a brown tail slowly slithered out.

"Warm up's over..! Now triclops, open your eyes and watch, watch how a real Saiyan fights."

Tien could swear he saw Raditz's pupils take on a tinge of grey for a second before he was pelted through the arena.

"Gah!"

An intense pain rang throughout Tien's body, this one attack was more than sufficient to put the triclops down.

*Aaah*

Trying to stand up, Tien was failing repeatedly, this attack was deadly, way too deadly, Tien didn't even get to do his technique before he was taken out in a single attack.

"Don't bother, you are hurt too badly, I have hit all your weak points instantly. The only way you could have seen this coming is by pure instinct. But you did well, at least you are still concious."

Tien's mouth was dripping saliva and blood, his eyes were bloodshot as he tried his hardest to get up.

Raditz seeing him struggling without any result, finally gave him a look and turned his back.

He was walking away, this instantly caused Tien's blood pressure to rise, his veins popped, his body was releasing adrenaline in bursts.

"Where.. Where do you think you are going..?!"

Getting a second wind from sheer hysterical strength, Tien somehow managed to stand up.

He was taken out in one single attack, just one, as soon as their warm up was over he went down.

This was utterly disgraceful, he was a guy who saw second form cell decimate everyone including super Saiyan's and went ahead to fight anyway.

And weirdly enough, he even managed to do what nobody else could, he won, not his battle against cell in general, but the overall war.

And seeing Raditz's unfazed look but stopping back, Raditz knew it too, Tien was tapping into every human's innate potential, their hysterical strength.

'I can't fight much longer, one attack, that's all I can do.'

Bringing his hands in a cross position, Tien crouched down, his eyes bloodshot.

"Hah!"

And just on cue three more Tiens phased into existence, who promptly ran towards the three corners, Tien himself jumping to the last corner.

'The multiform technique, Tien's speciality, nobody could copy this, is it Tien's own innate ability? I wonder, three eyes, three clones, we got a Rinnegan over here.'

While Krillin was shown to copy the technique in the anime, that was filler, in the canon this technique and Tien's eye beams were specifically his.

Well, eye beam was something people like piccolo and Freeza could also do, but it wasn't copied by other humans, maybe an alien thing, but that was debatable.

"After Goku survived this attack, he showed me it's flaws clearly, I won't make the same mistake twice, Raditz."

All four Tien's spoke, simultaneously their voices rang, the announcer was also saying something with passion while running away, but neither Tien nor Raditz paid attention.

'The multiform and Tri beam combination. An area wide attack, I can't dodge this with instinct alone, my technique dosen't work all the time, only if I had the whole thing mastered it would be a different story.'

As expected of a once rival of Goku, Tien found countermeasures to Raditz's state almost immediately.

This was what made the Z fighters stand out, their sheer battle IQ, if not for lagging behind in strength, Goku wouldn't always be the strongest without question.

"Shin!"

Putting his hands together, Tien made a triangle with his palms, a logic breaking triangle which makes a square shaped hole??? Somehow.

With veins bursting on his head, Tien finally gathered enough energy for one intense attack.

"KIKOHO!!"

*WHOOOOOM*

Raditz's eyes turned his tail hair stood up, he was feeling threatened, his first thought was flying up, but as soon as that thought came his instincts rang.

'There is threat up there!'

Raditz didn't have enough time to think how Tien got rid of the one weakness in his technique, because the attack was upon him from every direction.

"Grrrr"

At the very last minute Raditz's eyes finally took on a yellow glow, his hair floated and got more spiky, veins popped on his body and the attack-

*BOOOOOOM*

Finally hit, shaking the arena as a massive hemisphere of pure energy covered the entire stadium.

Screams of the audience was the least of the tournament staff's concern, Tiens 7100 power level supported Tri beam was too strong.

"Raditz!! You three eyed bastard what did you do to him!"

Pie pie screamed at the television and the egg besides her trembled, glowing a white glow once, showing it's anger while mimicking it's mother.

While Saiyan babies did what Saiyan babies did best when not participating in super Saiyan god rituals, the tournament staff and Satan were walking on fire.

"It's terrible!"

Satan's teeth chattered, he was imagining himself having to fight like that whenever he transformed into Raditz, this was so much pressure.

"You guys.."

Patting her head, Bulma looked a bit worried, she had seen these kinds of fights a lot, but it doesn't stop her from worrying!

As Bulma concentrated on the stadium while standing on the window, the dust finally began to settle.

"Ahem! Mr Tien has doled out a fantastic attack! The entire reinforced arena is destroyed! Can Raditz survive this?!"

The announcer pushed himself off some debris and screamed with passion, giving the panicking crowd's emotions a place to emerge from.

"... Saiyaman!"

"Saiyaman! Saiyaman! Saiyaman!"

"SAIYAMAN! I LOVE YOU!"

The audience began chanting just like they always did in canon, but instead of Satan, this time it was Saiyaman.

"The dust is clearing! I think I see someone! Who is it?! Who's the winner of the world martial arts tournament?!"

The announcer pumped the audience more and the dust finally began to lessen in density.

As the visibility slowly came back a little, everyone could make out a single person standing in the middle of the arena.

But no one was happy, instead everyone was unsettled.

"Who..who is that.?!"

A fanboy said while his body was trembling, because in the place Raditz was supposed to be, stood a gigantic monkey like monster.

It's stance was the same as Raditz when he was forced to take the attack head on, but it's maw and the pure red eyes showed it's wildness.

The great ape himself, was also still, as if thinking about where to wreak havoc.

'Ah dang it, triggering Ikari with a tail is way too hard, I messed up and transformed completely.'

But it wasn't wreaking havoc that was on Raditz's mind, it was that he messed up his control of Iakri, after all it's entire thing was triggering Oozaru without a tail.

Now all Raditz was thinking about was how to salvage this situation.
