		Superman Vs Dragonball Z 4
		
		A friendly match.

	The tournament continued for several hours and Goku spent most of it
sitting thoughtfully next to a watchful Superman. "We have to do
something," he grumbled absently.
	"We know he can be hurt if he's caugth off guard, I got a blow in,"
replied Supeman as he watched two large men duke it out in the dusty
ring. The fight was fast but nothing compaired to the earlier show that
Vegita had put on. The others had quickly learned to fear and respect his
power after the battle with Doomsday. 
	The other Saiyan was standing alone opposite most of the other fighters
on the other side of the arena. He had been allowed only one other fight
since his first battle and it lasted only a few seconds. "At least I got
to eat," he snorted as he sucked casually at his teeth. He watched Sobaro
carefully waiting for any opening to appear. "His defences are very
strong, but he doesn't seem like much on offence, If I can get past that
barrier I think I can get rid of him and get to that dimensional portal
he has put away somewhere." Vegita growled and looked at the ground in
frustration. "If he hadn't taken away my scouter I would be able to find
it easily, damn him."
	Superman frowned and snorted distastefully as another body was carted
off the arena floor; he was alive still, but in poor condition. "You
notice anything strange yet?" he asked Goku quietly.
	"Yea, neither of us has been in the ring yet, it's like we've been put
aside or something." snorted Goku as he watched the robots move to inform
the next contestant that his match was up.
	"It seems your friend Vegita is having similar luck," said Superman as
he watched the Saiyan sit alone across the field. "Can we count on him if
things get out of hand here?"
	"He isn't my friend, and I'm not sure; he may help to save his own skin,
but he could turn on us in an instant. He's very dangerous." said Goku.
	"We'll have to plan for just ourselves then, a wild card isn't the kind
of ally we need right now." said Superman as he turned away from the
battle.
	Goku watched intently but kept the conversation going. "We'll need all
the help we can get, I can feel his power. What happened to you was just
a fraction of what he's capable of; It's as if he's connected to the
energy of this whole planet."
	"That isn't good we'll have to be very careful in our actions; if what
you say is true he probably already knows what we have planed." said
Superman calmly as he glanced at the seemingly oblivious Sobaro at his
throne.
	"I think that's safe to assume, but we have to do something soon. We're
running out of fighters to stall with." agreed Goku as a splatter of red
hit the invisible barrier as the brutal battle in the arena ended. He
closed his eyes as another body was drug off the ground into a doorway. 
	A robot appeared next to the pair and it beeped noisily as words
appeared on a screen that appeared on it's chest. "Well, it seems like we
are the next fight," said Superman as he coolly walked towards the arena.
	"Divide and conquer? It seems that Sobaro does have a sence of humor."
snorted Goku.
	Vegita stood against the invisible barrier and smirked. "Well, it's
about time Kakarotto, you've been cooling your heels over there the whole
time."
	"I agree, can we count on your help? We need all the power we can get to
take on this guy." said Goku with a small smile.
	"What?! How dare you! I'd rather die than help you! Low born weakling!!"
snarled Goku.
	"You two can settle your differences after we get home," said Superman
as he walked over to the pair.
	"A Kriptonian? I thought you all died off, Well Kakarotto, try not to
hurt him too badly. He's your only ally in this little venture. I'll
enjoy watching you die at that arrogant fool's hands."
	Superman looked at Vegita with an hard stare. "If you live that long."
	Vegita's exspression changed slightly and he turned his back on the
pair. "Do as you will then." he snorted bitterly. 
	The robot following them into the ring beeped impatiently and the pair
made their way towards the center.
	
	Sobaro stood as Goku and Superman stood silently in the middle of the
ring. "Well, to make things interesting I have added a small feature to
this fight; the invisible barrier will begin to close for every five
minutes of inactivity you two give us. If you don't fight, you die. The
only way to leave the arena is by a knock out or death blow. If you want
to live one of you has to win." He smiled darkly as he pushed a button on
his chair.
	"So much for that plan." muttered Goku with a frown.
	"Looks like we don't have much of a choice,"  said Superman calmly.
	"Don't worry I'll try to make it quick," replied Goku with a smirk as he
got into his combat stance. 
	Superman nodded and stood tall. Goku rushed forward and punched Superman
in the chest knocking him down to his knees. Goku kicked him in the chest
after he stood again and Superman made no move to block.
	The dust around the edge of the arena shifted as the walls moved in
closer. "You have to fight back! We'll both be killed if you don't." said
Goku calmly.
	"I don't want to hurt you." said Superman as he struggled to his feet.
	"Don't worry about that, we won't do anyone any good if we are dead!"
said Goku as his temper started to flair. "You won't kill me."
	"All right." said Superman. He swung forward in a punch and Goku blocked
it easily elbowing the man of steel in the face. Superman's neck was
snapped backwards and he flew into the air impacting on the wall.
	The wall shifted forward again and Sobaro sneered. "If you don't give it
your all Clark you both die." he warned angrily. Superman grit his teeth
and shifted onto his knees. "Just try to make it as quick as possible for
him." offered Sobaro as he settled into his seat.
	The Kriptonian shot forward and rammed Goku in the chest sending the
both of them into the air. Goku shifted his weight after recovering from
the blow and threw Superman towards the ground. The pair both stopped in
mid air with Goku twenty feet over Superman. Goku seemed to vanish and
appeared in front of  Superman in a punch that missed as his opponent
vanished as well. 
	"Your faster than you look," he said to the red and blue blur that
appeared behind him. Supeman kicked downward and Goku shifted catching
his leg in a lock that he used to throw him towards the ground again.
Superman caught himself just before he hit the ground and spun to face
Goku above him.
	"Kamehameha!" cried Goku as he sent a blast towards his opponent.
Superman barely avoided the blast and it took out a large crater in the
ground below him.
	
	Vegita frowned at the blast and reached forward to touch the walls. He
looked over at Sobaro in shock as a realization came over him. "These
walls aren't hooked up to a machine; he's doing this on his own! How can
anyone have that much power?" He stepped back and glared at Goku again.
"Damn you Kakarotto, neither of us is strong enough to do this alone." he
growled as he shook with anger and disgust at his own decision.

	Superman flew to avoid another of the strange energy blast at him. He
returned fire with his heat vision and frowned as Goku shifted his
weight' the beams merely tore at his shirt leaving a small exsplosion of
cloth.
	"That's a neat trick," smirked Goku.
	"Your enjoying this aren't you?" gasped Superman in horror.
	"Not at all," said Goku as his smile vanished and he charged again in a
hail of blows that sent the Kriptonian on the defensive. Each of the
strikes felt like his blocking arms where breaking; a blow finally broke
through and Supeman was tossed back again under the incredible force.
	"I've got another trick," said Superman under his breath as he prepaired
his next attack. Goku frowned as he felt the air around him grow cold. 
	Superman blew forward and the air in front of him crystalized as if  it
had been hit by an arctic blast. Goku crossed his arms in front of him in
defence only to find that a growing sheet of ice seemed to cover him he
struggled for a moment as it completely enveloped him and sent him
plummeting to the ground. The thick ice landed with an audible thump, but
remained intact despite the impact.
	"It's over," gasped Superman as he landed next to the iced Saiyan.
	"Do you really think so?" snorted Sobaro.
	"What?" said Superman as he whirled around just in time to see the ice
exsplode revealing a huge red-orange aura as Goku began to power up.
	"Kaio Ken!" cried the Saiyan as his power exsploded and sent him into
Superman's chest flinging him far into the air. The Kryptonian whirled
around in mid air to find that Goku was already moving towards him in his
next attack. He was slammed down into the ground leaving a huge crater in
the ground. Superman struggled to his feet again as quickly as he could
only to find Goku was still gone.  He looked up and gasped in shock. Goku
was still surounded by the aura and was charging another of his
Kamehameha waves. He put his arms up in a block because he did not have
the strength left to move.
	"Kamehameha!" cried Goku as he shot the wave downward.
	Superman squeezed his eyes shut and felt a massive impact slam into him.
He cried out in agony as he felt the ground under him give. The energy
disintegrated the stone floor and a great dust cloud errupted from the
impact zone. When the dust settled Goku stood on the ground staring at
the hole with a frown. Superman was gone only a smouldering black hole
that drilled deep into the earth remained where he had stood. 
	"Excellent." declaired Sobaro. "It is late and the final battles of the
tournament will commence tomorrow." He declaired as he stood from his
throne and waltzed gracefully out of the arena.
	Vegita smiled as he watched and he turned towards the doorway that led
into the catacombs. "I thought I'd seen everything. Congratulations
Kakarotto." he sneered.
	Goku fell to his knees as a doorway appeared in the barrier. He
hesitantly glanced back at the hole and staggered away towards the door. 
He glared at Sobaro with a painful stare, "Tonight." he growled. "For
making me do that, you'll pay."

	TBC....

	Superman is gone, Goku plans to attack  Sobaro that night. And what of
Vegita? Will he aid the fight or try to escape in the confusion?  Things
don't look good for our heros, but when do they ever? It's a great
conclusion I have planned out for this tale. With at least a few suprises
in store...Until next time True fanatics...JA!
