Julia noticed she was about to touch the ground, but by now, it wasn't an issue... so she kept lowering down while the orb before her grew larger... if Couric was going to fire anything, it would have to get through her energy first. "Wow... I'm glad I got control back sooner or later... but I really don't think I should have worried so much... you're too strong. No matter how I fight, heh."

/This is the only option I have left...so please forgive me, Julia...This is going to hurt like hell.../ He thought as the flames of Kaio-ken raged around his form once more, the teen's hand thrusting upwards, pointer and middle finger pointed upwards. Almost immediately, the ground beneath Julia would erupt with a massive amount of energy, the explosion would not only hit her if she stayed on the ground, but Couric as well, likely burning his body pretty damn badly due to the sheer amount of power behind the technique. But Julia, standing on the arena tiling, would likely get the worst of the explosion. Either way, Couric would hit the ground after the explosion, teetering on the edge of consciousness...

"Here it comes... wait..." Couric was bringing his arm up... that only means one thing.
Julia drew back in whatever energy she could from the orb before it was lost, while saying... "Oh crap..." Fortunately she hadn't quite landed yet, and was able to try flying back up, but it was no use, the awesome power of the explosion ripped out from beneath her and threw her to the skies, screaming... fortunately, Couric hadn't beaten her legs during his wild assault of earlier... but still... with this much pain she was in, she wasn't in any condition to fight... her cords were completely shredded apart, along with the flesh underneath, leaving nothing but what seem like hot pants made of corduroy material.
Eventually, Julia fell down, but slowed herself and held herself inches from the ground, panting... "Oh God that hurt... Couric... wow..." Her legs and her face were... not looking so good...
She began to hover herself toward Couric, while saying... "So, who's gonna win? I never thought I'd do so well in a fight against you. Heh... ggh..." She flinched in pain all of a sudden, but carried on closer.

Couric struggled to get push himself to his feet, seemingly in much better shape physically than Julia, but his energy reserves were worst at best. He managed to force himself onto his knees, vision beginning to blur, sweat dripping from his brow, a bit of blood dripping from the numerous wounds on his body. He knew Julia was getting closer...but at this point, he couldn't do much about it..

"Just one way to do this..." Stopping a few good feet away from Couric, she brings an arm back, feeling a rib shifting painfully... and then pushes her hand forward, letting out a grunt of pain, as a shockwave would be thrown at Couric, hopefully to knock him from the Lookout. Though it wouldn't have the same force as a regular shockwave.

Summoning whatever he had left, he 'leapt' up to try to punch Julia, only to be sent flying backwards by the shockwave, skidding to a halt just near the edge of the Lookout, struggling to stay on his feet at that point. His body ached and he felt like he was going to collapse, but he forced himself to stay standing despite the wobbling of his legs...He didn't have much longer left to stay conscious...

"You've gotta be kidding me... heh..." Julia laughed a little, but forced herself to stop, feeling too much discomfort and pain when she laughed. "Well, I'm sorry Couric." She held a hand toward him, holding it still so she wouldn't cause herself any more pain, and released numerous small blasts of energy at Couric, aiming to pound at him until he fell off... any that missed would simply swoop back and hit him from the sides. The only place she wouldn't try to hit him from is behind. "I may be beaten, but I've still got enough for energy attacks... ...provided I don't move too much."

Sensing the energy gathered around him, Couric mustered up the last of his strength and thrusted his hand towards Julia, the last bit of his ki managing to escape his palm in the form of a semi-large burst of energy. It'd manage to evade the Hellzone blasts, rushing towards Julia at a decent enough pace, but that wouldn't stop Julia's attack from colliding with Couric, sending the teen flying off the edge. His last bit of hope was in that final burst of energy...

Julia, begins to panic as Couric hurls the blast around, but... to her surprise, when it collides with her... it hurts badly from impact on her already broken body... but since Couric screwed his power up with Kaioken over the limits, it lacked the ability to really cause any extra damage... though Julia did end up letting out a scream of pain...
When her Hellzone Grenade was over and Couric fell, she realized that Couric's last attack... the pain it had brought out... had prevented her from holding her flight... she landed on her feet, and her legs screamed... fortunately they weren't broken, but that doesn't change the amount of burning that was in them was flooding her mind right now. She aimed both her hands down at the ground, and gently released energy... pretty much effectively becoming her crutches to take the pressure off from her legs, and lower the pain... but every second was still painful... "I can't wait until this is over... ugh..." "Ow ow ow ow ow ow..."

Couric lost consciousness mid-fall, dropping into the water below instead of meeting a painful end at the hands of a collision with the ground below. Then again, hitting the water from quite a distance above the ground wasn't exactly painless, being comparable to falling right onto concrete. But he slipped below the water's surface, out of bounds and knocked out.

The announcer immediately sends a namek down to collect Couric for the moment he hit the water, before he could sink under enough to end up getting any water in his lungs, and he makes his way to Julia, saying... "Couric is out of bounds! We have a winner - Julia!" Once he's beside her, he reaches out with a hand to heal her wounds, while the namek who rescued Couric from the water lays him down back up on the Lookout and heals his wounds.

Julia blinks, and stands there... her body begins to fix itself up... "Wait a second." "That can't be right. I beat... Couric?!" She blinks a couple more times after saying this to herself, and then mouths... "Wow..."
She'd look around for him, and see he was safely rescued, which made her feel better. "Phew." But then she realized... "Oh God... I'm up against the Blue Nai..." That ruined her day.

Despite being perfectly healed up, Couric remained unconscious, the teen not knowing the outcome of the battle, but it probably wouldn't bother him to find out that he had lost to Julia. After all, it had been a good fight.

The announcer, at last, now that both fighters are fully healed, would say... "All right, now let's bring in Gozu and Shiro! Guru informs me that Gozu has received a Mystic awakening, so both fighters will be allowed senzu beans."
By the way, the namek who healed Couric will take him out of the arena, and set him safely down outside, since he's still unconscious.

Julia, still in absolute disbelief, walks out of the arena, not really looking at anyone... but her shock is mixed with discomfort at times whenever she thinks whom she's up against next. "Ugh... UGH... no way..."

Gozu smiles at Julia as they pass. "Good job. I'll see you in the finals." Gozu says as he hops onto the arena to the applause of the crowd. Gozu smiles and turns and waves to the whole crowd and then bows respectfully to Guru.

"Hope so..." Is all the disbelieving Julia could reply to Gozu... until she was stood outside... turning to face in to the arena, and sitting down to watch. "Wow..."

Shiro passes Julia on his way into the ring. "Nice job." He said, nodding to her. He'd then walk to one side of the ring and turn around, facing Gozu. "Well, let's see if my last minute training was worth it."

Gozu smiles. "Let's see indeed, guess there's no point in holding back any longer is there?" Gozu says as he clenches his fist at his sides and his aura flares out as a wind picks up as Gozu powers up. Gozu powers up flashier then he he had too but wanted to put on a good show for the crowd. Shiro will notice Gozu's power skyrocket as he stands there in seemingly in his base form. OOC: PL=197,641

The announcer stands aside, well out of the way, and declares... "If both fighters are ready... then please... BEGIN!!!" The crowd cheers wildly, hoping for another epic battle.

Shiro nodded and powered up himself. It wouldn't be as flashy as Gozu's or as powerful, but it would at least even the odds a little. "Now we just wait for the flag." Shiro muttered as he got into a stance, left side facing Gozu, left arm brought up between them, right arm at his right hip.

"Heh, so she won after all. Looks like she's capable of that barrier technique, too... maybe I'll steal that from her when I devour her... but it's too soon for that, right now. If I can best her, I'll abide by the rules and leave her to live freely a little longer. Plus, she'll be more useful to me when she activates more of that power of hers... right now I doubt she would increase my strength too drastically." The thoughts of Harvest... and at last, he takes his eyes from Julia, and returns to meditation, folding his legs up and levitating calmly... Nai style.

Gozu smiles as Shiro powers up. Good..this will be fun. Gozu gets in his stance his right hand back about chest high slightly opened with his left hand more forward and higher up clenched in a fist. "How bout we don't use our senzus even though we can? Just us two mano a Saiyanmano?"

Shiro smirked. "Sounds fine to me, Gozu." He said, gathering energy into his hands. The announcer said he had a 'mystic awakening, right? That must be why he's so strong at base. But why would that be enough to allow the use of senzu beans? Gotta be careful. He wondered.

1. Seeing Shiro charging energy Gozu backs up putting some distance between the two of them so he has ample time to dodge. Good I don't want him going back to 100% while the only thing I can do is heal my wounds.

Shiro kept charging, letting Gozu back away. At least, that's what it would look like for a second, before Shiro reappears right in front of him, sending a punch to his face and hopefully sending him flying back. Shiro would after image again, getting behind Gozu and kicking him into the back. Another after image, and Shiro's in front again, sending an uppercut to send Gozu into the air. Finally, if all went well, he'd reappear above Gozu, both hands above his head and ki rapidly gathering in front of them. He'd swing them down onto Gozu's head, or whatever part of him was facing up at the moment, releasing the Super Masenko the moment his fists connected with the Saiyan, sending him into the stadium ground.

Julia decided to go find Couric and check on him... and watch the fight from where he was... so she headed to the fighters' area nearby.

Poor Gozu. Unknown to him while Shiro is completely kicking his ass, Couric and Julia are sharing a passionate kiss together not far away... all he would have to do is turn his head and look, but doing so would break his heart and soul, and there would go any chance of him winning his fight with Shiro.

Unfortunately for Julia that wouldn't even start to break his heart and soul. He doesn't care enough about her yet for that to do anything more then distract him for a couple minutes before he got his head back in the game. Gozu keeps his eyes on Shiro as he after images right in front of him. As Shiro goes for the punch to the face Gozu goes for a gut punch he doesn't have time to put much power behind it but it'll slow Shiro down. Both his punch and Shiro's punch will land at the same time. Gozu does stumble backwards but as he stumbles he practically falls as he after images away not sure if his gut punch will by him much time at all. When Gozu reappears he is still stumbling but turns to face Shiro. "Guess no warm up eh?"

Shen had watched the previous fight with very sharp eyes... and needless to say he was extremely impressed. To Shen, it seemed like these fighters have been raised just to fight. So if this is how good all of them are in combat... then even if I was as powerful as them I'd still be in for one hell of a ride...
