A/N: Okay so this story is somewhat inspired by Dragon Ball Multiverse online comic Check out DBM a very cool read for fans of DBZ and the what ifs in the tenkaichi series video games especially the customization in Ultimate Tenkaichi video game for ps3/xbox360 and. In it you can customize certain things such as auras, now inspired that nifty feature and the idea of creating a character I took it an wrote an alternative universe where things played out differently than the anime or manga. For example Krillin who was a really cool character until the android thing happened he became more of a joke an slight coward where he used to be more of a character who gritted his teeth and went up an battled against superior forces such as Nappa a little bit of Vegeta, the Ginyu Force and even Frieza hell even some of the non-canon stuff was impressive such as the second battle with Garlic Jr. So his attitude of "are we still going suicidal against someone more powerful, yes lets do it then" attitude will remain. Not only That its hard for me accept that Tien would just accept the saiyans becoming so strong that they left him in the dust, so he will be more intense. But I digress The story will diverge a lot of the time from canon DBZ even adding some of the movies as canon But the major changes will be humas and their potential. Power levels if I decide to add them will be according to my scale and what that means will be talked about later but right now there relatively low because it starts with the last tenkaichi budokai in Dragon Ball Which introduces an OC (Not a saiyan we have enough of those) a Human who enters it an how his interference changes events and fights. With that said I am open to ideas, techniques for your characters and story changes and plot ideas. And one crucial idea that want people thinking about, how can the humans keep up with the saiyans when the Super Saiyan form is introduced to this fanfic. Thank you for reading this authors notes there will be more to come in future chapters "sorry" ('_'). Now like so many others before me I humbly ask for Reviews and constructive criticism.
Disclaimer: Me no own a man named Akira Toriyama owns it therefore me no make no money lets all give a thanks to the man who gave us Dragon ball and Dragon Ball Z
CH.1 Here Comes A New Challenger
Antni Solaris looked at the fight chart after the match between Choutzu and Tao Pai Pai. He could feel the intensity of the 2 fighters they obviously knew each other. Some how he could tell the one known as Choutzu would lose something about Tao Pai Pai was off, and that was besides the point that he looked all Sci-fi in those robotic prosthesis.
To say that it was bad would have been an understatement Tao Just dominated the whole thing the little guy didn't even get a single punch in, he never stood a chance. Then there was a confrontation between the returning champion and Tao Pai Pai it seemed that the little guy known as Choutzu was a close friend of the champ.
Ignoring the words exchanged between the 2 fighters Antni went back to meditating, so he could be focused for his next match. Still he couldn't help but wonder at how many powerful fighters would be in the Budokai, and how far could he go against some the best fighters the world had to offer. He could feel his blood boil with excitement at the prospect of going up against strong opponents to push himself to the limit.
"Antni Solaris Please come to the ring" yelled out the the rounded monk who was over looking the matches in his preliminary section.
As Antni got up to go to the ring the other fighters stared at the new comer he was young only 18 years old with slightly spiked up hair with with green eyes and a faint small scar running over his left side of his lip. He wore a black under shirt with a red over shirt and Black Pants with Grey boots and a Grey belt tied around his waist he also wore red finger less fighting gloves. All in all his school of training was not recognized by anybody it didnt help that he did not ware any markings or symbols.
Standing in front of his opponent he heard the chubby monk go over the rules and the time limit in the match. His opponent looked like a kick boxer and he looked to be in early thirties and gave him a confident smile and said
"Alright kid give all you got don't hold back on me give all you got" said the tall kick boxer.
Smiling Antni decided to test the waters so to speak by dashing and giving a direct punch to the kick boxers guard . It drove him back 2 steps in an instant the kick boxer was on the offensive putting Antni on the defensive.
Dodging and blocking the quick offensive of the kick boxer, Antni looked for an opening. -there- he thought. As he elbowed the quick boxer in the stomach an releasing a strong kiai, knock him out of the ring. "Wow nice moves you can really put up an offensive attack but you cant forget about your defense work on it" said Antni
An like that Antni went on to reach the final of his bracket against Tao pai pai. Both fighters stood in the ring when Tao spoke "You obviously have talent boy but your going up against someone who knows more than you could ever dream of doing so give up or I will cripple you an you will never fight again"
"Your Obviously very powerful but don't underestimate me old man I just might surprise you" Antni said. "I doubt it boy" responded Tao as he got into his stance. Antni fallowed with his own stance (A/U: think Akuma stance from street fighter)
In an instant they were in the middle of the ring exchanging punches at a high velocity that only a very few of the fighters could even keep up, to some they were just a blur in the middle of the ring. Not until Tao landed a punch on Antni while simultaneously Antni landed his own kick on Tao left side of his torso. While it sent them both back Antni felt the sting of the punch and the pain that Tao's metal torso left on his left leg.
"Not bad kid your more skilled than you let on, probably even more so than the midget" said Tao. Smiling Antni said "Your right the little guy was pretty strong for a psychic but you an me are way stronger than that." In an instant he was gone an reappeared with his left elbow deep in Tao's gut fallowed by a uppercut with his right fist then a left kick to his torso again sending him flying in a u to the edge of the ring not giving him time to react he dashed with knee to his face and then hammered punched him to the outside of the ring.
"Your strong but you let it go to your head, go back an train some more!" Antni said.
"Tien had been in a small shock, he could not believe it. Tao had been stronger than most martial artist at the tournament, for someone to appear outside their circle of fighters an be that highly skilled. -Could it have something to do with piccolo, he would have to keep an eye on him- were his thoughts.
"Wow that guy is pretty strong to be able to beat some one like Tao" said Goku with curious tone. "Yea that guy is very powerful he could be interesting to fight, we should keep an eye on him" said Tien.
Antni looked at the fighting order of the bracket chart, apparently he would be up against the returning champion Tien Shinhan -This should be good- thought Antni. He could feel the anticipation go up for a chance to go up against someone like Tien Shinhan.
Anonymous vs. Goku*
Antni Had to admit he did not see a marriage proposal coming out of that match, still he supposed he could relate. When they walked back stage with the woman now known as Chichi holding on the arm of the one known as Goku, he walked up to them to congratulate them. "congratulation on your engagement" he said Antni shaking both Goku and Chichi's hands.
"Thanks Mr. Solaris we appreciate your kind words" said Chichi with huge smile and a blush.
"Yea thanks and good luck on your next match" said Goku. Antni only nodded and smiled.
"An now on to the next match our returning Champion Tien Shinhan Vs. The tournament new comer Antni Solaris who hopes to test his skills against powerful fighters" said the announcer.
Both fighters came out on to the ring and stood facing each other.
"I hope your ready kid cause I am a lot stronger than Tao Pai Pai, an not gonna go easy on you" said Tien. "Good I wouldn't want you to go easy on me so go all out I want to see the power power of the returning champion, I want to see how I stack up against you. "Begin" Yelled the tournament announcer.
Despite the energetic yelled of the announcer, Tien and Antni just stood there in their respective fighting stances not moving an inch.
In the audience master Roshi watched in shock as he saw the stance of the young man who was fighting Tien. "Whats wrong their not moving at all" said Bulma. "Yea there just standing there" added Launch. "I never thought I've see anybody who still practices that style again" said Roshi. Alright old man whats up whats wrong with the kids fighting style it looks like a normal fight pose to me" said Oolong. "No Tien better be careful that stance is from an old fighting style known as the Assassins Fist, a very ancient killing martial art" said Roshi.
"So your saying he could be as strong as Tien?" asked Launch. "It is a strong Possibility" Roshi answered.
"So how do you know about them old man?" asked Oolong. "Hmmmp believe or not I was young wondering martial artist at the time an barely getting recognized as a martial arts master when I came a cross one of there prodigies, at time I fought to the full extend of my abilities and barely came out the victor. Since then they went silent after I spared him, I was not comfortable with killing such talent and hoped he would change his ways but I never heard from them again at least until now" said Roshi.
"No problem Tien will still wipe the floor with this guy" said Launch.
"Its hard to believe you were once young and were in intense fighting situations" said Bulma.
"Just watch an see what I once had to fight" said Roshi.
In the ring the 2 fighters were still in their stand off not moving a muscle and leaving no openings, unfortunately Antni had to blink. In that half second of blinking was all Tien needed to attack. Antni quick reflexes was all that saved him from a punch to his back, he evaded as he rolled to the side. Quickly recovering he dashed at Tien an traded rapid combos of kicks and punches at such a furious rate that there hands and legs looked like nothing but blurs and sounds of hitting. Both fighters trying to find any weakness, in their defenses, both finding it they took the opportunity.
Their attacks struck their faces at the same time, sending them both slightly back "Seems were about even" said Antni. "Is that what you think, you're good kid but don't get cocky kid you still got ways to go before your good as me" said Tien.
That's when Antni got a glimpse of Tien true powers, it was insane his speed had increased tremendously all he felt were to punches to his stomach and to his back he could keep his eye on him or prepare a counter or defense.
With a kick to his back sending towards the edge of the ring managing to barely stop he was uppercut tedd to the air, Tien fallowed an jack hammered Antni toward the outer bounds of the ring. Antni recovered just in time to send a KI beam toward the floor and jet himself toward Tien. While surprising Tien he managed to move out of the way and Antni kept going into the air. While waiting for Antni to come down to the ring he landed an kept his eyes on the sky.
When a of energy just came down towards Tien forcing him to jump back that's when he felt the hit. Antni had been right behind that KI blast it had been a diversion to create an opening. Antni punches were viscous and were all directed to towards Tien Midsection and and face, trying to cause as much damage as possible.
Despite his best efforts Antni's punches were slowing down and losing strength taking advantage of that Tien countered by elbowing Antni with his left elbow fallowed quickly by a knee to his stomach and then hammered down to the floor, and Antni managed to roll away and sit up and stare at Tien.
"This is great, exactly what I was hoping to find strong fighters, but you and your friends take the cake I bet those guys you hang out with are either just as strong or even stronger" said Antni. "What your excited to be outmatched?" Tien asked. "Of course, its the only way to push my self beyond my limits and becoming even stronger" said Antni.
"Okay I can respect a goal like that so now I am gonna show you were you stand in terms of skill and power" said Tien. "Good no holding back then" Antni said.
The attacks once again started being nothing but blurs they moved at such an amazing speed yet Tien landed so many more punches and kicks than Antni could see that it was clear Tien was faster an more in control of the match.
Getting up after that last attack Antni looked at Tien with a smile an said "I see your way above my level of skill and your speed is incredible I cant even keep up. So lets see if on my techniques is enough to catch to you"
Antni took his stance and took a deep breath, started to concentrate all of his KI outward his body started to produce what appeared to be white steam he gave a grunt as his energy reached its maximum. Just as it appeared outward it went back inward he started to compress his energy inside his body, and tried to make it as small as possible. When he couldn't do hold it anymore it exploded outward in a white burst of energy that he quickly used to attack.
"Haaaaa" screamed Antni as he dug his left knee into Tien's chest then a right kick to his face sending him to the middle of the ring as Tien skidded to a stop not even reaching the edge of the ring. After a split second Tien felt multiple punches to his back ending with a knee to the back of the head.
Tien was now on the floor an Antni remained standing in his stance and breathing heavily. Tien was breathing but not moving. "Such an amazing combination of attacks has downed the returning champion Tien Shinhan I'll begin the countdown 1...2..." Said the announcer.
"Guys did you see any of that?" asked Yamaha. " To be honest I could barely keep up for, his technique increased his speed and strength for about 6 seconds I could only see about half of the attacks. I wonder how he did that technique" said Goku
"That technique is pretty incredible it caused some serious damage to Tien, but it looks like his stamina took huge dive. Using that burst of power took a lot out of him. Still if he had slightly better control he probably could have gathered more energy" explained Krillin.
Piccolo Stared at the young martial artist who used such an amazing technique, for a moment he could have sworn the human was as strong as himself. Still he could not hold on to all the power given by his technique a lot of it went wasted. Despite that to think a human had such a technique it could cause trouble down the line if he ever mastered it.
"What was that?" asked Launch "That is one of their school most secret techniques to think he had to use on Tien. He either lacked control or has more restraint than I thought possible that is a technique meant to kill an opponents as quickly and efficiently as possible Tien needs to be more careful if he wants to win this match" said Roshi as he saw Tien get up at the count of 8.
"An Tien Shinhan is on his feet on the count of 8 meaning this exciting match will continue" said the announcer with excitement at the idea of the match continuing.
Tien Could not believe the speed at which his oppenent Antni had attacked. For those few moments he was a lot faster than he was not only that, the attack really did a number on him. To say that he was impressed was an understatement.
" He he he" laughed Antni while breathing hard. "I gotta say for a moment I really thought you were out for the count, but I shouldn't have expected you would go down with just attack."
"Antni this match is far to interesting for it to be over, so get ready" Tien said
"Bring it" was all Antni responded.
Although on the inside he was actually kinda nervous he really thought that attack would have ended the match. Also that Max Burst technique really did a number on his stamina. He could really feel his fatigue kicking in. Yet he couldnt help but smile, Tien was truly an amazing fighter.
It truly was great he was pushing his body to the absolute limit. This would be his last chance to win. Cupping his hands to his right side gathering his energy and and compressing it as much as possible. His energy became visible a small green ball began to emanate from between his cupped hands. "Take this Hyper...Beam"yelled out Antni The beam crashed against Tien open palms who was trying to divert it even though it was pushing him towards the end of the ring. Finally he was able to push the beam into the Air continued its path into the atmosphere. Suddenly feeling the punch to the face Antni had used the beam as a distraction to get close to him and continue his assault of kicks and punches.
Tien manged to block most but a lot of them landed, still his were landing more often than not . Suddenly he noticed that Antni attacks were slowing down, -he must be tired- were his thoughts. Capitalizing on that, he grabbed both of Antni arms giving the other fighter a shock. Turnign into a bear hug he did a belly to belly suplex throwing him out of bounds while still in the air and Antni in the air he appeared in the air and hammered punch Antni officially out of bounds.
The Crowd was silent at both the display of skill of both fighters and at the sudden end of the fight. "Was that match incredible, I for one am left amazed at the incredible skill these 2 fighters have shown today Antni the new challenger may have lost but definitely left little doubt that world is still full of fighters yet to be discovered. Lets give both these fighters a strong round of applause" said the Announcer of the Tournament.
Tien had to agree with the ring announcer to think that there still remained fighters like the ones trained by the Turtle School and the Crane School. Was an invigorating thought and brought a smile to his face just more challenges to overcome were his thoughts. Still his main goal was to beat Goku he would have fight even harder to beat a man that was chosen to be trained by Kami.
Goku was amazed and excited at the prospect of more fighters like Antni imagine fighters of his caliber, people who could even push Tien to the limit that would be so exciting. He would have to ask that fellow Antni after the tournament.
Krillin was impressed that new guy pushed Tien to use about 80% of his power. He was interested in that cool technique that allowed him to move so fast for those few seconds. He looked at the green man that was on the roof of the building who would be his opponent Goku had told to go all out from the beginning but he didn't really look that tough Still he would find out in his next match.
Antni got up slowly an looked towards the ring were Tien was smiling at him. He threw his own smile proud of the fact of how he had pushed himself against the returning champion. He didnt know why but he would have to stick around to see the rest of the matches he didnt know why but he had a feeling the rest of the matches would crazy good and he could a lot from just watching.
Antni threw a thumps up towards to Tien and the ring announcer to signify he was Okay. When he did that small signal the crowd went wild with applause cheered screaming out his name "Antni! Antni! Antni! Antni! Antni!" he just smiled sheepishly an bowed towards the people, and waved as he left toward the back area of the arena.
As he got to the back area the other fighters gave some praises. Antni only smiled and thanked them. "Man you were awesome I didnt think there was anybody left in the world besides us that could give Tien a run for his money" said the facially scared warrior known as Yamcha. Yea not many people can say that you should proud of yourself"said a short bald fighter named Krillin wearing a similar GI as Yamcha an the one known as Goku.
"wow you were great we should definitely spar sometime an maybe you could show me that max burst technique it was so cool" said Goku with such enthusiasm that it was to say no. Sure maybe after the tournament" said Antni "Awesome" was Goku simple response.
"Will Majunior and Krillin please step out to the ring its time to commence the next round" yelled the announcer into the microphone.
"Okay guys wish me luck" said the bald orange GI wearing warrior "Good luck Krillin" was the major consensus in the backstage or the tournament. "Yea go get him" yelled out Yamcha last.
"Okay then lets get this started" said Krillin as he stepped out into the determined to show every body what he was made of an see how far he was from Goku's level of skill.

A/N: See told you would see this again. Anyway I think I should stop the chapter here just wanted to introduce the OC Antni Solaris we all know whats next after this so I was thinking of skipping the rest of the matches here because to be honest I cant make justice to dragon ball it had some of the best fighting in all of anime history...to me at least also I wanna skip so we can lead to raditz. Now if youre intersted give me ideas of how to make plausible way were raditz can survive and become somewhat of a good guy and help the z fighters my way involved an OC saiyan and a memory of bardock knawing at raditz conscious. I really like raditz in the video games and some of his moves are pretty cool looking plus that what if story in one the tenkaichi games for ps2 was pretty good until he committed space pod suicide Please drop a review with both criticism and Ill try to update as quickly as possible but to be honest like once a week is possible but more likely every 2 weeks well we will see. An thanks for reading again review and throw me some ideas I'll even give credit if I use it an you Awant it.
