Goku looked around him and closed his eyes. His life had been uneventful since the gathering of the Dragon Balls in his childhood. Now he had a wife Chi-Chi and a 4 and a half-year-old son by the name of his grandfather, Gohan. The day of the Martial Arts tournament was upon them and entering it was Goku, for the first time in many years. He was hoping to see some of his old friends and allies to show off his young son and wife; especially to Krillin. Goku had been training almost nonstop; day and night, though he probably didn't need it.
Anyway, Goku was getting ready to leave; putting on his orange martial arts uniform, putting on he weighted armor and shoes. Chi-Chi was preparing lunch and getting Gohan dressed and complaining the whole time. Though Chi- Chi herself was a fighter, she was against taking Gohan; she wanted him to have nothing to do with Martial Arts. But even she could sense a power dwelling inside Gohan.
Chi-Chi left with Gohan after a few moments on a small plane, leaving Goku to prepare in his own ways. Goku's preparation was short and consisted only of a kamehameha wave that split part of the ground in two and it plunged right through a huge boulder that Chi-Chi had always wanted to move.
"Kinto-un!" he yelled as his cloud flew down before him. He had no real need for the Kinto-un now, since he'd learned to fly, but it held a special place in his heart. "To the tournament," he told the cloud as it began to fly fast and brought Goku close to his destination. "Thanks buddy," he said as he jumped down and smiled. He landed with his feet firmly planted in the soft sand of the beach.
The tournament was taking place on an island that was fifteen miles from the closest block of land. There were many lakes and streams running through the island and the tournament ring itself was taking place on a lake covered partially by tiles. Anyone who falls into the water or touches ground outside of the ring is disqualified. Also if you're knocked out, killed, or speak defeat, you are disqualified.
Goku walked across the beach and stepped onto the concrete road. He followed the path and found Chi-Chi and Gohan waiting for him. He motioned for them to wait a moment as he registered. He glanced over the other participants and smiled.
Krillin was participating along with Yamcha, Tien, and Piccolo, among many others Goku didn't know, and they were all present and registered. "All right!" he exclaimed in happiness as he handed the registration sheet back to the men running the booth.
"Hey, Goku," someone yelled from behind him. Goku turned and was greeted by the bald head of the short Krillin.
"Still haven't grown much, have you?" Goku asked laughingly. "You haven't grown any hair either." Goku laughed and Krillin looked at him, annoyed.
"Well, I see you haven't changed," mumbled Krillin as he followed Goku to where his family stood.
"Hello Krillin," Chi-Chi said politely in greeting taking Krillin's extended hand.
"Who's this little fellow?" Krillin asked pointing to Gohan. Goku smiled and picked Gohan up who held tightly onto Goku.
"Gohan, he's." Goku started.
"When did you start babysitting?" Krillin interrupted. "Poor kid," he said quietly and Chi-Chi bopped him on the head. "Oww." he whined as he rubbed the lump that had begun to form already.
"He's mine," Goku said proudly as Master Roshi and Bulma walked up behind them.
"Yours?" Roshi asked in his croaky voice as Goku turned.
"What's his name," Bulma asked bending down to Gohan's height.
"I'm Gohan." he said slowly, "and I'm four years old. ad a half." Gohan smiled and closed his eyes. "And my daddy is the strongest in the world."
"Okay, Okay, that's enough little man," Goku said putting his hand over Gohan's mouth. Gohan pushed it away. "Daddy."
"We're going to our seats now, honey," Chi-Chi said as she led Gohan off.
"We'll join you," Bulma said, grabbing Master Roshi by the ear who was now drooling over some nearby women.
"Ahh. Bulma." Roshi complained.
"Later guys," Goku said as he walked to the preparation room. Goku and Krillin walked in happily talking about their lives since they'd last seen each other. They entered the room where the first elimination matches would take place, and Goku spotted the other three participants he knew. He walked over to Yamcha and said hello, giving a wave to Tien on the way, before a man came out and stepped onto a platform.
"Welcome gentlemen." he started.
"Hey there is a woman here too," a voice came out from the crowd. Goku looked over to her and took in the details of her. She was strong, but concealed most of her chi. She wore a tank top over what looked like a weighted shirt and a skirt over tight black shorts.
She may present a challenge, Goku thought. The announcer began talking again.
"Welcome lady and gentlemen," he said into his microphone. "This year we have too many participants and we need to take this number down to eight before we begin the actual event. So let's begin by splitting these 256 people into two groups and arranging them to fight until 128 remain. Then we go to 64, 32, 16, and then 8. We'll have four rings going at once. So, let's begin!"
Goku stretched and got ready for his turn. He was the first of the people he knew to fight and he walked into the ring. A giant sumo wrestler stepped up and towered over Goku.
"You goin' down shrimp," he said as he got in position to fight.
"Am I?" Goku looked quizzically at the guy. He charged at Goku at the starting bell. He threw a punch and Goku hardly moved to dodge it. The guy looked at Goku with a very surprised expression on his face. "WHAT!" he cried out.
He threw a few more punches and Goku dodged them equally as easily. He glanced behind him and saw Krillin begin his fight. "Go Krillin!" he yelled from his fight and Krillin looked over with a smile on his face and gave Goku a thumbs up.
"You dare ignore me!!" the sumo wrestler yelled. He threw another punch and Goku let it hit him in the face. His head didn't even move.
"See how powerless you really are?" Goku punched once in the stomach and he flew back into the wall. "Whoops.um. I didn't think I hit him. um. that hard." Goku stuttered as he put his hand behind his head in embarrassment. The guy looked at Goku.
"Are you some kind of monster?" he asked.
