The sign-up

A/N: I got my exam results back recently and I passed all the papers I sat. Yay…I guess. Is it good or just expected? On another unrelated note, I have started a live journal. I do not know why, I just did. You will find a link on my profile page. For news about update delays, you will most likely find a more detailed reason there than on my profile. You will also find information on current fics, upcoming stories, and various bitching about my day-to-day life, and a picture, which according to someone, I look so bored that I could kill someone.

'There it is! There's the registration desk!' Jon shouted happily as he rushed forwards in front of the rest of his family. In no time at all, he was in front of the desk.

'Oh my, a child,' observed the middle aged man, 'oh, you must be here to enter the children's division.'

'Yup!' Jon replied as he smiled enthusiastically.

'Sorry about that, it is just we are not getting many children this year, so it slipped my mind. What's your name?'

'Jon Kazama,' said Jin as the rest of Jon's family appeared behind him. The man wrote the boys name down before looking up.

'Will you two be competing in the main event?' the man asked.

'Not me. I don't compete anymore,' Jay stated.

'I will be,' Jin said.

'Alright then. I'll need to know your name?'

'Jin Kazama.'

'Jin Ka…Kazama?' the man looked up, 'Mister Kazama-san!'

'Mister and San?' Jin thought, 'Try to not make a big deal out of it, would you?'

'C-certainly.'

'Thanks,' Jin said when he stepped away from the desk, but suddenly stopped as he saw a familiar red-head approaching out of the corner of his eye.

'Kazama!' Hwoarang called, 'So, you showed up. You better be ready for our re-re-re-rematch!'

'I am,' Jin replied.

'Good, because I'm going to mop the arena with you.'

'Just don't think that you will be advancing to far!' Hwoarang quickly turned around and saw Vegeta behind him, his famous smirk upon his face.

'Don't worry, I know I'm not in the same league as you,' Hwoarang stated, 'all that matters to me is my fight with Kazama.'

'Have you seen Goku yet, I heard he was participating,' Jin asked.

'Humph, he's over there!' Vegeta motioned to the right, where Goku was surrounded by the Son family, and his many friends. However, among them, Jin did not recognise one. It was a young and short man. Not as short as Goku's friend Krillin, but still rather short. He also had a dark pigmentation, one that informed Jin that he may well be from a country within the African continent. Jin approached the group.

'Goku,' Jin greeted.

The Saiyan turned around and grinned widely.

'Jin!' Goku greeted as he slapped his arm in goodwill, this made the arm numb.

'He's really gotten stronger. I sure hope I don't face him,' Jin thought, 'who's your friend?'

'Oh, this is Uub. He's the one I was training with.'

For the next while, Goku and Jin were telling the other about the last ten years, until the Edgarrgh topic came up.

'So, Radian's dead?' Goku asked seriously.

'Yes,' Jin replied, 'and because he's an elder god, he's too complicated to be resurrected by the eternal dragon.'

'I'm sorry I didn't help out, but I wasn't sure I was strong enough yet. I boosted my training, but you bet him before I could help.

'Don't worry. It's over now,' Jin said.

'Yeah,' Goku suddenly looked up, 'Hey, is that your dad over there?' Jin quickly spun around and saw Kazuya across the pavement.

'Yeah, I'll see you soon,' Jin said before he rushed over to Kazuya.

'Are you ready?' Kazuya asked.

'Yes,' Jin replied, 'Are you sure the Latem are here? No one looks suspicious to me.'

'I am certain of it.' Kazuya answered, 'Just keep your guard up. I wont be participating, so I'll keep an eye on the audience,' Kazuya instructed as he left to talk to Bruce who was across the road.

'Jin!'

Jin quickly spun around at the familiar voice. Law and Paul quickly rushed over to him.

'Have you been keeping busy with your training?' Law asked.

'As much as I could,' Jin replied.

'I thought so,' Law stated, 'I can tell just by looking at you that you are much stronger than you were when we fought Edgarrgh.'

'I can't wait to see it in action!' Paul announced, 'but don't think you're the only one who has gotten stronger. Just wait until you see me in the ring!'

Jin continued to look around. Steve had also arrived, and he too looked much stronger than last time.

'Excuse me,' Jin quickly spun around and saw a news crew, 'Chanel four news. We were wondering if we could get an interview.'

'Sure!' Paul quickly exclaimed, 'My name is Paul Phoenix, and I'm going to become the number one fighter in the world!'

'Actually, I was talking to Jin Kazama,' the blonde woman replied.

'Oh. I knew that,' Paul quickly backed away, and the woman approached Jin.

'Alright.' Jin answered.

'What were your motives behind participating in this year's tournament?'

'Nothing really. Like everyone else here, I just want to participate,' Jin answered.

'What are your hopes in this tournament?'

'I just want to do my best and see where that takes me.' Jin answered.

'How would you fell if you had to go up against the current champion, Hercule Satin?'

Jin struggled to keep a straight face when this point came up, 'Oh, I would be devastated. I just hope I won't have to face such a renowned martial artist like him.'

'Will all participants please make your way inside. Thank you,' a voice came over a megaphone.

'Sorry, but I have to go,' Jin stated as he made his way to the main building.

'But sir!' but it was too late, for Jin, as well as the rest of the competitors, had made their way to prepare for the preliminary rounds.
