Superman Vs. Dragonball Z Part 3

				 Deathmach: Vegita vs Doomsday


	The morning came quickly, Goku woke up groggily and glanced around with
a cheerful smile. "Ah, what a great day." he exclaimed as he took in the
warmth of the strange alien sun.
	"It's good to see someone is in good spirits," said Superman as he
landed near him.
	"Hey, how are you this morning?" asked Goku calmly as he stretched.
	"I could be better, most of us didn't sleep," said Superman calmly.
	"You should have, it's gonna be a hard day." replied the Saiyan as he
gazed towards the throne. Sobaro walked up calmly and smiled as he took
his seat; Several camera men stood in the stands surrounding the arena. 
	"Welcome, I ask that you please move to the sides of the arena, the
events are about to start." said the man with his cruel smile. Superman
and Goku glared at him and frowned. A few of the other warriors straggled
behind and moved back towards the area's designated for them to watch the
matches.
	One of the Robot's approached a small dark skinned man. He remained in
the center of the arena and watched the throne with an angry stare. His
eyes glowed slightly with a red tint as he waited.
	"Sumath Kotin, butcher of Grandlen. You are considered a great hero for
destroying the great dragon; and until your defeat at your own son's
hands you where quite the hero. Murdered and betrayed by your own flesh
and blood; boy that must really suck." Sobaro read the Biography off a
small hand held computer screen with an almost mocking tone as if the man
where not listening to him. 
	"Get to the point villan," growled Sumath angrily.
	"My, how rude. I suggest you save that anger for the ring, your going to
need it," said Sobaro coldly. For the first time the arrogant smirk was
gone from his face and replaced by a cold hard and evil looking mask of
hatred. "Allow me to introduce your opponent, He hunts hero's as a
hobbie. Undefeated by any he had faced and killing the one man able to
defeat him. He is called many names, but Doomsday is the most recent."
	A great metal doorway rose from underneath the throne and a huge
creature lumbered forward. He glared at his opponent and the restraints
that where holding him fell away. He roared triumphantly and moved
forward again more freely. 
	Sumath stepped back in horror at the huge rock and crystal creature. He
raised his hands in a hard martial arts defence and frowned as he
controled his emotions. "I've killed bigger rock men than you creature."
he snarled as he stalked forward.
	Doomsday looked downward at a small insect like creature scurrying along
the ground. He slammed his foot down to crush it and laughed cruelly as
his foot cracked the earth for almost ten feet in every direction.
	Goku stood with Superman watching the pair intently. "Poor guy, he
doesn't stand a chance." 
	"There is an energy shield keeping us away from the fight. They want to
make sure we can't interfear," snorted Superman.
	"I can't see it." said Goku as he put his hands forward and found the
air in front of him was solid. "Hey, that's a pretty neat trick."
	The fight was surprisingly short, the man charged forward in a flying
side kick and Doomsday simply caught him by his head and squeezed. The
martial artist head popped easily under the monster's strength. Doomsday
laughed and lumbered onward in search of another opponent.
	"He's fast for something so big," muttered Goku; he turned to find
Superman was gone.
	Sobaro turned as the man of steel rushed towards him angrily. "You
monster! You knew he didn't stand a chance against Doomsday and you sent
him in anyway!"
	Sobaro raised his hand and Superman flew back into the wall as if held
by an invisible force. "I knew nothing of the kind, it wouldn't be much
of a tournament if I knew the outcome. I think you'll find this next
match more even. I'll admit some of these beings where invited as mere
cannon fodder, but I assure you I am unsure which of them where. That's
why it's so much fun."
	"I'll find a way to stop you! I swear it!" growled Superman angrily.
	"Go right ahead then, it might amuse me," replied the young man with his
arrogant smirk. "I have delt with both of these creatures before and I
assure you Doomsday will have his hands full."

	Goku watched the gate as it rose revealing a familiar sillouette.
"Vegita!" he gasped as the Saiyan stepped forward. Two battered looking
robots fell to the ground from inside the doorway as the Saiyan stepped
forward and dusted off his hands casually.
	He had a confused look on his face as he entered the ring; but it
quickly became a smirk as he recognised his surroundings. "Well, they
want to play do they?" he noticed the creature pounding on an invisible
wall along the edge of the arena and he frowned as he did not recognise
the species. "What the hell is that?"
	Doomsday turned and faced the newcomer and smiled cruelly. Vegita
narrowed his eyes as his frown deepened. "It's strong, real strong; but
it doesn't look very smart," he noted out loud.
	The stone monster charged forward in an instant and slammed his shoulder
into Vegita sending the Saiyan into the invisible wall hard. Vegita
grunted painfully as the wind was knocked out of him and fell to his
knee's. "Why you!" he snarled; but Doomsday seemed to sence that he had
to finish the Saiyan quickly. Vegita felt the monster's stone hands
around his head as he was lifted and slammed repeatedly face first into
the ground. Finally Doomsday slung him away and across the ring into the
wall directly in front of the throne. His face was bleeding and bruised
from the force of the monster's blows and his right shoulder pad was
shattered. 
	Vegita staggered to his feet and snarled with anger as Doomsday rushed
forward. He whirled around and slammed his fist into the thing's stone
gut. The creature bent forward and grunted in pain and Vegita back handed
it in the face causing his gloves to rip open as the creatures facial
growth tore at Vegita's exsposed hands. Doomsday slammed into the ground
stunned for a moment and Vegita lifted him up over his head with a single
hand. 
	"What the hell is he made of?" commented Vegita as he rose from the
ground and carried the monster up high above the ground. Doomsday began
to recover from the blow and he struggled in the air under Vegita's grip.
The Saiyan smiled and flipped over pointing Doomsday towards the ground.
With a birst of energy he shot downward like a cannon shot and slammed
the creature face first into the arena floor breaking a hole into the
hallway's below it. 
	Vegita's arm seemed to scream with pain from the impact and he cried out
as his shoulder was dislocated from the blow. He flipped away clumsily
and landed shakily on the dusty ground of the arena floor. He grit his
teeth and pulled his arm violently back into place; falling to his knee's
from the pain. He gasped for breath and glared at the hole, "Let's see
you get up from that ugly," he sneered. 
	Doomsday shot up from the floor with an angry growl as if in answer to
his challenge. The creature charged forward full speed once again ramming
into Vegita and sending him sprawling across the ground on the other side
of the arena. "No way! That blow should have killed anything!" growled
the Saiyan as Doomsday became a blur of motion in front of him. "I've had
it with you!" screamed Vegita as he raised his hand and shot an energy
beam at Doomsday taking the still moving creature dead in the chest. The
monster was thrown back and slammed into the invisible barrier howling in
pain as it was blasted again. 
	Vegita watched as the dust settled revealing Doomsday slumped against
the wall seemingly undamaged with steam rising from his chest. The
creature slowly opened it's eyes and began to growl. The Saiyan vanished
from it's sight and appeared dead in front of him in a kick that slammed
the monster face first into the ground again. Vegita began to beat
relentlessly on Doomsday's back cracking the stone skin a little more
with each blow. The Saiyan smiled as he saw the first trickle of blood
from the monster's skin.
	Doomsday 's arm shot forward taking Vegita dead in the face and slashing
four long scars from his eyebrow to his neck. Vegita howled in rage as he
held his face in defense and floated up and away; but Doomsday grabbed
his opponent's leg and slammed him into the ground hard. Vegita kicked
the monster's hand with his free leg and knocked the monster's grip away
slamming it into the wall. He scrambled across the dusty ground ingnoring
the screaming wounds as the dirt was forced into his flesh and blood ran
down his face. "That's it monster! Your history!" he roared angrily as he
shot into the air as his body began to glow a deep purple. 
	Doomsday snarled at the thing that floated away from him. It was the
first creature to ever really hurt him. It would pay for that. He sprung
upwards into a massive leap that would carry him high enough to catch it.

	Vegita smirked, "You can't fly can you?" he teased as he shifted away
and let the beast pass by him and fall downward again.
	Doomsday snarled in defiance as he prepaired to jump again. 
	"Your too late I'm afraid," cried Vegita triumphantly. "GANNET GUN!!"
	A wave of purple destructive energy slammed into the creature just as it
jumped again sending it into the ground. Vegita watched as it squirmed in
agony in the flames before the energy became to bright as it reached it's
peak. When the smoke cleared the arena inside the invisible barrier was
nothing but a smouldering pit of molten lava as the blast penetrated the
crust of the surface into the core of the planet. Vegita smiled as he saw
a charred arm sinking into the magma along with a leg twenty yards away. 

	The ground seemed to reapear in an instant as Sobaro stood up, raised
his hand and smiled. "Well done warrior." Vegita seemed to struggle in
pain for a moment and his wounds where healed. 
	Vegita landed and faced him, he glared at Sobaro cautiously and turned
towards the stands. "I'll have to find a way to deal with that one, he's
much to strong to attack head on." he muttered.
	Superman frowned as he felt the pressure holding him in place disapear.
He floated down to the ground and stood silently.
	"That was a fair fight wasn't it Clark?" said Sobaro calmly as he took a
seat in his throne once again. "What did you think?"
	Superman reared back and punched Sobaro dead in the face full force.
Sobaro screamed in agony as a chunk of flesh was knocked away only to
vanish in thin air; leaving a large hole in his face revealing the inside
of his mouth and some muscle structure. He growled and the man of steel
backed away in horror as the wound rebuilt itself from nothing. 
	"That wasn't very nice," said Sobaro with a smile as the repairs
completed themselves. "You'll have to learn what it means to attack me
Superman, I'm faster and stronger than you could hope to imagine. Sobaro
appeared in front of him and grabbed his throat lifting him off the
ground and crushing his neck before he could even react. Superman grit
his teeth and kicked at the man again only to find his legs passed
harmlessly through his body. He punched at Sobaro only to have the same
results. His breath became short and the man smiled as Superman began to
black out. 
	"Let him go!" cried a voice from behind them and Superman tried to turn
towards it. Goku stood in the doorway. Sobaro smiled and dropped Superman
to the ground gasping for breath.
	Goku frowned and backed away coolly. "I wasn't going to kill him, don't
worry about that. I just needed him to understand that he isn't strong
enough to beat me; No matter how good he was in his own world." Sobaro
held a serious gaze as he sat down on the throne. "Now, we can continue
the tournament."
	"I won't fight for you," spat Superman.
	"Neither will I," agreed Goku as he helped his ally to his feet. 
	"I think you will, you see I know who you are Mr. Kent. I know who you
love, in fact I know everything about you. How would you like it if I
killed you and brought your family and friends here to die, both of your
families? I can get them as easily as I got you." said Sobaro cheerfully.
	"You monster!" said Superman weakly.
	"If you win the tournament you don't have anything to worry about;
besides competing will give you time to think up some plan, one that will
fail of course." snorted Sobaro as if he no longer felt like dealing with
them.
	"As much as I hate to admit it, he's right. We need to think this
through, the tournament will give us time to work it out." said Goku
quietly. Superman nodded never taking his eyes off Sobaro.
	As they walked away Sobaro called one of the robots over to his side.
"Make sure they compete against each other." he said to it. It beeped an
affirmative and scurried away. He rubbed his face absently and smirked. 

	TBC...

	NEXT TIME: Superman Vs Goku.
	As Goku, Superman and Vegita easily defeat the competition in the
tournament each is desperately looking for a way to defeat the seemingly
invincible Sobaro they discover the terrible secret of his power; and it
doesn't make beating him any easier.
Hopefully I've got the spirit of both comics in here, [Minus some of the
more comedic DB stuff.] It's coming out pretty well and should only go
about two or three more parts to it's conclusion.
