Chiaotsu laughed soft thinking his win was eminent. The orb on his finger buzzing to life ready to strike the Turtle student down. Rikku nearly fell off the wall as she screamed at Krillen. "Do something Krillen!"
Krillen stared up at the sight looking left and right trying to assess his situation. "I'm trying, I'm trying! Wait... Yamcha can do the Kamehameha.. Why can't I?"
(A/N: I goofed on the last chapter. I forgot Yamcha too wielded the Kamehameha against Tien. Please just roll with the punches. Once the fic is finish I'll fine tune all the kinks!)
Krillen looked at his hands then back up at Chiaotsu. "It's my only chance." Cupping his hands together he concentrated staring Chiaotsu down. "Ka....Me...."
Roshi jolted as he heard the chanted and Rikku cheered. "Kamehameha! Now things are getting interesting."
"No! He's not skilled enough to wield it yet!"
"Ha.... Me...."
Chiaotsu's Dodon ray grew in size and ignoring Krillen's irrational actions he raised it high and shot it down to strike leaving his body completely vulnerable. Krillen saw the opening and jumped out of the way. The ray exploded on the ground covering his escape with smoke and rubble.
It delighted Krillen to see the shock on Chiaotsu's face when the boy whiled around to see him right behind him with a glowing blue orb in his hands. "HA!" Chiaotsu wasn't able to dodge he took the blast full force and despite the head on hit it merely singed Chiaotsu and send him falling to the audience.
Tien shouted in dismay watching his little friend waive r in the air right above the audience. He could do nothing but watch as Chiaotsu flipped upright panting in pain. He managed o float to the ring before his energy wavered causing him to stumble.
Krillen felt entirely proud of himself but he had wished the runt had stayed out. "Okay now for the real fight to begin. No more flying away like a coward!"
The fight continued Chiaotsu bringing out a wild technique. Becoming a flying bullet and launching himself at Krillen over and over. Rikku's patience was wavering and she wanted Krillen to defeat Chiaotsu already so he uneasy feeling in her stomach would disappear. She wasn't the only impatient one either. Master Shen continually shouted at his pupil to end the turtle scum.
Krillen managed to keep Chiaotsu on his toes by using force. Chiaotsu knew he couldn't be defeated with fighting alone. He had to use the dirtiest trick in the book. Sticking out both hands Chiaotsu shouted and Krillen collapsed clenching his stomach his face doing a variety of faces from pain, anger, and sickness.
"What's the matter with Krillen?" Rikku looked down at Jackie who was intently watching the fight.
"I'm not sure."
"I think it's his stomach. What's Chiaotsu doing to him?"
"What I want to know is how many techniques does this boy have?"
Krillen had never felt so sick. His stomach burning on the inside making it boil and toil. Rikku shouted at him to get up her fists clenching on her gi. The familiar and irritating sound of Shen made her ears ring and she sent a sharp glare in his direction. "Your companionship is touching but it's useless. Chiaotsu will destroy your friend and his death will be on your head, for the death of my brother!"
Rikku's heart felt like lead as she watched Krillen struggling to his feet. She could see in his eyes his mind was still working trying to figure a way out of this predicament/ Yes Don't give up. Don't die Krillen. She repeated it over and over in her head giving him silent support. I would never forgive myself if you die.
