Chapter 1: A New Age of Fighters.

**This story takes place 8 years after the Battle with Kid Buu. Goku still trains with Gohan and the others, but has given up fighting. Vegeta, as well as Krillin, Piccolo and many others, have taken the life of peace. This story revolves around the kids, Goten, Trunks, Uub, Gohan, and new face, Genki. Genki is not a Saiyan, he is an Earthling. He has learned the power of Kaioken from Goku, and has trained with Gohan and Trunks to use a blade. Genki is the impatient one of the group. He is friends with Goten at school and he is an excellent fighter. He met Goku at 15 to train with him, and gain the Kaioken technique. He considers Trunks and Goten his best friends, and Uub as his rival.**

"Come on Trunks! Or we're going to be late!" Goten said at Trunks' house. They were on their way to school. Its their junior year in high school. "Trunks man come on!"

"I'm coming sheesh!" Trunks yelled as he grabbed his bag. He jumped from his bedroom window and landed outside next to Goten. "It's not like you do anything constructive at school anyway."

"No that's you! Mr. Snoring! At least 3 days a week, you're asleep!" Goten remarked.

"So? In two years im going to run Capsule Corp. I don't need to..."

"Oh yes you do!" a woman's voice yelled.

Trunks sighed, "Okay Mom..." He said back. "Geez such a push over..."

"We should hurry and go. We're going tto miss our first class."

"You're right. Oh wait...what about Genki?"

"He said he'll meet us there. Now come on!" Goten said as he began running. trunks was right behind him.

Meanwhile at Kame House, Gohan was relaxing with the others. "You know maybe this peace thing isn't so bad."

"It's not really." Master Roshi said. "But after a few weeks of not fighting you get kinda bored. trust me I know. It takes a lot of getting used too."

"I guess you're right. But I'll stop fighting when i feel the time is right you know?"

Roshi nodded. "are you entering the tournament next week Gohan?"

"I'm thinking about it. I mean if Dad Piccolo or Vegeta aren't entering then there's no fun."

"You keep forgetting about the boys. Trunks and Goten are definitely entereing. This is Geni's first Tournament too. he wants to put his new strengths to the test."

"Really? Well then. I guess I'll train for a couple of days and enter." Gohan said as he stood up and stretched.

Roshi nodded and drank some tea. "How's Uub doing? I heard he's been training to the extremes with Goku now."

"Yeah. Those two have been going back and forth day in and day out. Uub wants to be as strong as Genki, if not stronger. Genki and Uub cannot get the upper hand on each other. it always ends in a draw."

"Sounds like Vegeta and Goku." Roshi said chuckling.

Gohan let a small laugh out, "That's exactly it."

At Kami's lookout, Goku and Uub are training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Uub and Goku are exchanging blows and dodging attacks and blasts. Uub is exhausted and tired, hunching over trying to breathe.

"I can't..." Uub said breathing heavily. "I can't...get any stronger..."

"Yes you can Uub." Goku said trying to coach him. "Don't be so down on yourself. You're growing stronger, faster, smarter everyday. You've gotta keep going until you reach you're full potential."

"But...I'll never be able win a World tournament. Not at this rate."

"Uub...you are strong enough to win a World Torunament easily. If Goten, Trunks or even Genki..."

"No! He will not beat me in match! especially not in a World Torunament match!" Uub yelled.

Think i struck a nerve, Goku thought. Encouraging him won't work. I keep forgetting, he's just like Gohan when he was young. Its anger that motivates him.

"You know what...Fine. Genki will beat you in a World Tournament because you're not good enough to beat him." Goku said teasing him.

"No! No he won't!" Uub yelled out of anger.

"Oh yeah. If you can't land a punch on me...you won't be able to beat him." Goku showed a grin.

"That's enough!" Uub said as he powered up out of anger. "Genki will not beat me!" He dashed at Goku at full speed and started punching and kicking, but Goku was swiftly avoiding and blocking the attacks.

"See? You're not hitting me. HIT ME!" Goku yelled motivating him.

Genki waited at the entrance of the classroom for Trunks and Goten, who were racing down the hall. Goten won the race and smiled at Trunks.

"i keep telling you! You're not faster than me. Must we do this everyday?" Goten gloated as he laughed.

"Oh shut up." Trunks said shoving him playfully. "I'll get you next time." He then looked at Genki. "Class start yet?"

Genki shook his head. "Nah. didn't show up yet. I was just waiting for you two idiots. Why did it take you so long to get here?"

"Well slowpoke over here wasn't ready." Goten said pointing at Trunks.

"Blame Gramps for keeping me up all night. He was telling me everything about Caspule Corp."

"yeah yeah sure he was." Goten said rolling his eyes. he then looked at both of them. "You two entering the Tournament next week? I've been training hard."

Genki nodded. "Yeah I've been training hard too. I've figured how Krillian does his Kienzan now. I cut like four trees back to back with one disc. It was awesome!" He exclaimed.

"You do know Uub is entering too right?" Trunks said.

"Which makes it even better. I hope I get to fight him in the finals and get the..."

"That's if you get passed me!" Goten interrupted, "I'm going to win and get me a car so i can take my driving test. And then use the other money for...Anything!"

Trunks said, "Well I'm gonna use the for..."

"YOU DON'T NEED THE MONEY!" Goten and Genki said at the same time. "YOU HAVE ALMOST ALL OF THE MONEY!"

"Damn greedy jerk." Genki said.

"Yeah what he said." Goten said backing him up.

"Oh you guys are my friends? You guys are 'just the best.'

**A Few days has passed and the boys were training harder than ever. Even Gohan entered for one final time. The day of the Tournament, the drawing began. Trunks was first up and drew number 5. Goten was seventh and got number 9. Gohan got number 16, Genki 14, and Uub 23. The Tournament flew by and the New Z Fighters were winning left and right. The 8th match ensued and that match was between...**

"Genki and Gohan!" the announcer said into the microphone enthustiacally.

"WHAAAAATTTTT?" Genki screamed. "GOHAN? OUT FO ALL PEOPLE?" He took a deep breath. "Come on now..that's a no brainer. Gohan's going to win."

"You'll be fine Genki. Bro won't embarrass you." Goten said cherring him up. "He'll at least let you look good. He might even let you win"

Genki eyeballed Goten. "Why would Gohan let me win? Doesn't he need the money for something?"

"Not that I know of."

"Ugh man...this sucks."

Gohan looked across the room and saw Genki with his head down. I'll go easy on him, this s his first Tournamentt after all. I'll put on a good show.
