Chapter 2 "The Tournament Begins"
Elder Kai had just finished convincing Silvie to enter the Tournament. It took a while, but he finally got his way with her. She felt she wasn't nowhere near as strong as the others of Z-Star, but she decided to see if that was the case. After all, she thought of herself more as a healer than a warrior. After she left, Elder Kai continued his work on preparing for said Tournament.
Near a giant waterfall, Gokon and Kobyashi were in a conversation with one another. A simple conversation soon turned into a debate when Gokon said he was stronger than Kobyashi. Naturally, Kobyashi disagreed. They both got fired up, and Gokon got to the point where he wanted to challenge Kobyashi right then and there!
"Save it for the Tournament. Then we'll see who is the strongest one of the two." Kobyashi says.
Gokon agreed and calmed himself down. He sat back down and relaxed.
Gokon hated when others thought he was weaker than them, but he'd shut all of his challengers up soon enough. His Super Saiyan 4 cannot be matched after all.
Elsewhere, Sam continued resting. Hunter was lifting giant boulders that weighed about 24.7 tons each. Hunter's physique was looking quite muscular. Slim, but muscular. His body looks more toned than when it did a couple of months ago. He was doing well in his training. Sam, on the other hand, spent about 75% of his time either napping or stuffing his face. Sam was even starting to grow a bit chubby. Sam probably won't make it passed the 1st round in the Tournament. Hunter was disappointed in Sam, but continued to train nonetheless. He wasn't gonna hold himself back. No way. He knew he could stand a chance in the Tournament.
Vegeku was on his way towards Virus' location. He sensed his Ki no problem. Vegeku really wanted to speak with him on his recent attitude change.
Vegeku soon arrived, and by the look on Virus' face, Virus did not look happy to see him.
"Oh great, what do you want?"
Well that wasn't the welcome Vegeku wanted to hear.
Vegeku begins to speak:
"Virus. What have you been doing? I haven't heard from you in a long while..we were supposed to train together..what happened?"
Virus glares at him for the longest time and says, "It's none of your concern on what I've been doing. But I simply want to get stronger and win the Tournament. I want to be the best. I can't do that if I train with someone like you. You'll just hold me back, and I don't need that. All you do is follow me around everywhere, and i'm getting sick of it. I want to do things on my own. And quite frankly, you're a nuisance."
Tears start to form on Vegeku's eyes. Vegeku leaves in sadness. Virus doesn't even flinch and continues doing what he was doing, with no reaction whatsoever.
The Next Day
After crying for so many hours, Vegeku decided to calm down and go for a walk around the city. Soon, he noticed Hunter and Silvie hanging out near a park. The two also noticed Vegeku and walked over to him.
"Hey Vegeku, what's up!" Hunter warmly greets him.
Vegeku responds, "Hey guys."
"We were just on our way to get some smoothies. You wanna join us?" Silvie asks.
"Sure." Vegeku replies.
As the three were walking on a sidewalk, Vegeku notices a certain girl walking across from them.
Ellie. His crush.
Vegeku has been crushing on her for quite sometime now. Since before Kobyashi even came to Z-Star. But he was too shy to ask her out. She was way out of his league. He barely even talked to her. So he can see why she wouldn't think of him even as a friend.
But Vegeku figured he should say something to her. He told the others Ellie was near, and they crossed the street to greet her.
"Hey sis" Silvie says.
"Oh, hey." Ellie replies.
Vegeku decided to speak, "Hi there, Ellie."
Ellie then responds, "Sam right?"
Vegeku was shocked. "SHE THOUGHT I WAS SAM? WHAT THE HELL!", Vegeku angrily says in his thoughts.
"Anyways, i'm busy right now. I gotta go." Vegeku snaps out of his thoughts. He sees Ellie walking away.
If he wasn't depressed before, he certainly is now.
Poor Vegeku.
Back at Z-Star Academy, Elder Kai figured it was time to begin the Tournament. He started making calls. He couldn't contain his excitement. He was hyped for this.
The Tournament openings were to begin at exactly 11AM tomorrow. Everyone who placed an entry were notified by Elder Kai himself via phone or via his messenger Pigeons.
The Next Day
It was time. Kobyashi got out of bed. He got plenty of rest. He took a shower, got dressed, brushed his teeth, ate some breakfast, and was all set and ready to go. He flew at a mild speed.
Along the way, he met up with Sam and Hunter. Hunter looked very tired. Sam explained Hunter couldn't sleep because of the Tournament being the next day, and got insomnia. Sam however was fully awake and looked like he had PLENTY of rest. The three continued on towards their destination.
As they got closer than can hear the busy crowds filling up the arena. The place looked to have hundreds of thousands filling it up.
By the time they got there, they saw Gokon, Muffin Button, and Future. Apparently they got there very early. Before the arena even opened. That's usual for Gokon and Muffin Button. Those two are so eager for this.
Soon, the 6 were able to get into the Main Building.
The Tournament begins in 3 hours..
