For the Love of a Daughter part 3

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WELCOME TO THE WORLD CHAMPION MARTIAL ARTS COMPETITION, THE THREE CHALLENGERS WILL COMPETE, AND DETERMINE WHO DESERVES THIS TITLE OF THE STRONGEST MAN ALIVE." The announcer yelled over the intercom, to the roaring crowd that filled every seat in anticipation. "FIRST TO FIGHT WILL BE THE MASKED
RAT AND THE HORNET. (I truly suck at making up names sorry)
Mr. Satan waited nervously in his trailer waiting for his turn; he wasn't allowed to watch the fight because it gave him an unfair advantage over the previous victor. As he was waiting for the fight to end, Natas walked in.
"Oh Natas you made it," Mr. Satan said while smiling. He was glad she was there.
"Yeah it was very hard to get in, the crowds were terrible." She replied smiling. She noticed he had a nervous sweat about him. "Don't worry beloved," She reassured him as she hugged him. "You trained very hard for this, and either way I'm very proud of you. You will always be the hero in my eyes."
He looked down at her and smiled. God I love her so much he thought. "I have something for you" he said as he grabbed a small velvet box off of the vanity.
She opened it to find a beautiful gold locket with a tiny diamond in the center. Inside was a picture of the couple happily smiling and holding each other close. And on the back was the inscription I will always love you.
"This shows that my heart belongs to you, and by the end of the night you will receive two other gifts from me."
"Oh Herccy bear, I love it, and I love you." She smiled and looked up at him with her big brown eyes. They both leaned in for a kiss, which expressed complete love.
"Whoa I'm sorry, didn't mean to interrupt," said a embarrassed stagehand who had just barged in. "The fight is over it's your turn Mr. Satan."
"Okay, thanks." He looked down at Natas. "Wish me luck."
"Good luck love."
Mr. Satan walked down the hallway towards the ring as his song, "We are the Champions," played.
The man he had to fight was enormous, much bigger than Mr. Satan himself was. (Try to imagine a Neanderthal with a petitury gland imbalance.)
"I'M GONNA POUND YOU INTO DUST." Said the opponent.
"WHATEVER LET'S GET THIS FIGHT STARTED ALREADY." Mr. Satan returned.
"OKAY IN THIS CORNER STANDING 8 FOOT 5 AND WEIGHING IN AT 500 POUNDS IS THE UNDEFEATED HORNET, AND HIS COMPETER STANDING 6 FOOT 9 AND WEIGHING 260 POUNDS MR. SATAN." The announcer yelled at the top of his lungs. Trying to speak over the crowds who were chanting the name Hornet.
Mr. Satan looked around, everybody was rooting against him he thought no one knew nor cared who he was. They were all cheering for the guy that had a face only a mother could love. He looked down to see Natas wearing a shirt with his picture on it and waving a flag that said SATAN on it. He laughed she looked so funny jumping up and down among a bunch of glaring fans of Hornet, screaming his name.
I have one fan, and she was the only that matters. He thought. He brought his attention back to Hornet who had retained the same glare he had before.
"OKAY LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE," screamed the announcer,
DIINGG went the bell.
Mr. Satan charged at Hornet, not allowing him any chance to react. He quickly punched Hornet in the gut, and when he clutched his stomach in pain Mr. Satan then side-kicked sending him flying in the opposite direction. Hornet quickly recovered and sailed at Mr. Satan punching him repeatedly in the face. He stopped when Mr. Satan fell over and when he thought for sure that he wasn't going to get up. Mr. Satan started to pull himself up when hornet jumped on his spine forcing him back down again. Mr. Satan screamed as the sudden tremor of pain shot through him like a thousand knives. Hornet watched with smug satisfaction as he watched him trying to get up again.
Shit I can't believe this, Mr. Satan thought as he attempted to get up once again. I will win I can't lose.
Mr. Satan used all of his strength to get up. He awkwardly stumbled a bit, I think he bruised my spine he thought with anger. He looked at his contender; he's stronger than I am, he thought. I'll have to strategize.
With that Mr. Satan realized something he's way to slow, I can beat him. He smiled confidently wiping the blood away from his mouth and nose.
"WANT SOME MORE," Hornet asked mockingly.
Mr. Satan just smiled and nodded. With that Hornet ran at him again. This time Mr. Satan dodged and came up behind him, before Hornet could turn around Mr. Satan kicked him in the back throwing him forwards a bit.
Hornet turned around let out a roar and he jumped at Satan who dodges once more. Mr. Satan threw a punch that hit him in the face. But Hornet retaliated by punching him back and grabbed Satan in a bear hug squeezing him tightly. Mr. Satan struggled under the vice-grip of Hornet. Trying his best to break free, Hornet squeezed even tighter satisfied with his reaction. I'll force the life out of him so I can end this  he thought as he mercilessly held him harder.
Mr. Satan's head lowered in exhaustion, he forced his head to look up at his opponent who had a river of sweat running down his face also. The cheer of the crowded echoed in his ears as they urged Hornet to finish him off. Except for Natas voice which told them to shut the hell up. He's as tired as I am Mr. Satan thought as he looked at his opponent who still had him in a bear hug. I have one last chance. Mr. Satan gathered the last of his strength and with all his might head butted Hornet in the face breaking his nose. Hornet dropped him and Mr. Satan quickly attacked and punched him on the chin sending him reeling back even further. With the last of the energy he could muster he kicked Hornet who in turn fell over.
The crowd watched in silent shock, except for Natas whose voice rang out congratulations to Hercule.
"Way to go love I knew you could do it,"
Mr. Satan forced a smile for her, but he felt he was going to fall over right then and there.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE NEW VICTOR, AND MARTAIL ARTS CHAMPION OF THE WORLD MR. SATAN." Cried the announcer.
Then suddenly the crowd exploded in an uproarious cheer, and continued on even after he had received the belt the signified his title. Mr. Satan held it up over his head proudly,
The announcer handed him the microphone so he could say a few words. Mr. Satan looked about the crowd; he then began to speak.
"They say behind every great man is a great woman, and thanks to that woman I became as strong as I need to be today, and she has provided the unyielding support to me which helped me to win. I promised two gifts tonight for her." He said as he pointed, the cameras switched their attention to her as she shyly blushed. " First I'm giving her my belt, for without her I would probably never have won. And the second is this," he pulled a small velvet box from the pocket of his GI. "I give her the solemn pledge to be loving and devoted if she grants me her hand in marriage." As he said that he climbed down from the ring and walked (or limped) his way over to Natas, as he did so the crowd cleared a path for him. When he was close enough he got on one knee and opened the box to reveal a diamond ring.
"Well Natas what do you say?"
"Yes Herccy Bear of course I will," She said as she kissed him.
Snickers could be heard from the crowd Herccy Bear they whispered.
Mr. Satan broke the kiss and glared at the crowd making sure they would never dare call him Herccy Bear again.
"I love you."
"I love you too beloved,"
END OF FLASHBACK
"That's why I lied Videl," Mr. Satan said sadly, those were memories that always hurt to remember. "Because I had trained so hard I gained the highest title in the world. Your mother was so proud that I had won it by hard work and determination. But when Cell came up eight years ago, a new higher title was laid on the table to win. WORLD SAVIOR the highest honor the world could ever offer me, I had spent years protecting the Grand champion title so I could make her proud that I still had it by working hard. But now I had a chance to honor her more than I ever could before. So I trained as hard as I could becoming stronger than I had ever been before. I faced Cell, and I gave him everything I had. And he swatted me away as if I was no more than a bug to him. When it was all over, and the other warriors left, I felt I had dishonored the Satan name. But when the people came up asking if I had defeated Cell that day, I thought maybe if I can't make Natas proud I try to make you proud of me instead. So I lied, I'm sorry if it hurt you." Mr. Satan said as he wiped a tear away.
"I am proud dad, to me what makes a hero is someone who looks face to face with danger and stares it down. Even if you lose, it doesn't matter as long as you were brave." Videl said as she smiled emphatically.
I better not tell her that I screamed like a baby he thought.
"Dad?"
"Yes Videl?"
"Can you tell me more about you and mom?" She asked cautiously, she didn't want to upset him.
"Sure Videl."
