Ugh.....forgive me guys. Life has been slightly crazy as of late but now it's time to get back into this. I have an idea and I like Blade's idea of more backup so I think that works best for getting me back in.

It was never suppose to be like this.

The Budokai was just suppose to be another chance to test my skills. It wasn't suppose to turn into this. I hadn't even had the chance to step into the ring before it all went to hell. With so much happening in such a short time I experienced something I never felt before.

Pure fear.

It was something I had a little trouble understanding. I was the great grandson of two of the greatest warriors to ever live and I was part Saiyan to boot. Fighting was in my blood. It excited me. Yet here I was frozen in fear. It didn't make sense to me. Could it be that when faced with a true life of death battle that I wasn't ready? Looking around I saw that overall it seemed that everyone else had it under control. Most of the attackers had been defeated so I figured the best thing to do was keep out of the way.

However I wasn't going to be so lucky.

Without warning I felt a sharp pain in my lower back that sent me flying towards the stands. Since I wasn't powered up and I was caught fully off guard I didn't have much time to react. With no time to stop myself I gathered as much ki as I could and managed to throw up a small barrier that would hopefully shield me from the full force of the wall. Overall hitting the wall didn't do much damage to me but the force of impact made me lose my focus and I wound up dropping my barrier. On the other side of the wall was a small tunnel and I wound up going face first through a glass window connected to an inner office. Once again it didn't do too much damage but I did feel a small trickle of blood from a cut above my right eye.

At first I thought of suppressing my power level and playing dead until it was all over but then I thought better of it. I had never run from a fight in my life and I'd be dammed if I was going to start now. Plus if wouldn't do me any good if they suddenly decided to level the place. Leaving my fear aside I powered up and rushed out to come face to face with my attacker. In front of me where I stood before was a female Saiyan with short spiky brown hair dressed in red battle armor. "Well it's good to see you've come to your senses. An easy kill is no fun." Reaching for her scouter she made note of my power level. "Hmm.....just short of 2000. If you give me a good enough fight I just might let you live." I didn't like the sound of that but I wasn't about to let fear control me again. Gathering every bit of power I had left I shouted "Yeah keep talking. I'm not a pushover!" Before I could power up too much more however I sense a strong power coming towards me at high speed. On instinct I quickly turned around and drew my hands back and powered up my best attack.

"KAMEHAMEHA!!!"

Using my own beam to deflect what I thought to be a big attack I was surprised to see it engulf an energy ball and head towards open sky. Suddenly to my right I saw a foot coming towards my face. Ducking quickly I countered my new attacked with a sweap and then proceeded to do several backflips to get out of the way. Once on my feet again I saw another alien joined the Saiyan. This one was a humanoid looking male with light blue skin and white hair. With a smirk I said "Well I guess 2000 must be out of your league if you need help. Two on one is hardly fair odds." While I was trying to act tough I had the horrible feeling I may have been the one outclassed......

No time to add more. Got to get to work. Real quick Shi is not a coward by nature but he has never faced a battle where losing would mean possible death so he was a little unsure about how to act at first and fearful of the situation.
