Dragonball Fusion
Episode 4:
The Tournament Begins
"Goten! Gotenks! Trunks! Wake up!" Chichi yelled from down the stairs.
Trunks rubbed his eyes as he woke up to find that he had left the TV on all night long. He looked around himself to find Gotenks on a bed beside him to the right, and Goten on a bed below his bed. Jumping off of his bed, Trunks went over to where Goten was sleeping and started to shake him awake.
"Goten! Wake up Goten!" Trunks ordered.
"I'm awake, mommy," Goten said talking in his sleep.
Trunks quickly backed up, his eye twitching, "Dude I'm not your mother!"
"But mommy always wakes me up as gently as that," Goten answered in his sleep.
Both of Trunks' eyes started to twitch ferociously, "I am not your freakin mother!"
"Hahaha!" Gotenks laughed getting up out of the bed. "Having a hard time waking up Goten?"
"Well, yeah, he's talking to me as if I'm his mother!"
"There's an easier way to wake him up."
"How, might I ask?"
"Do you have a frying pan?"
"Why would I have a frying pan!?"
"Your right, why would you have a frying pan?" Gotenks questioned sarcastically.
"Hey, can you two be quiet? I'm trying to sleep!" Goten yelled getting up out of the bed.
Trunks let out a long sigh, "At least he's awake. Goten, we have to get ready for the tournament."
"Tournament...oh! I remember now! The tournament is on May 7th and today is May 7th!"
Trunks let out another sigh, what else was he supposed to do at his best friend's foolish comment? So he just let out another sigh. "Let's just get ready for the tournament."
"Goten! Trunks! Gotenks! Are you up yet!?" Chichi yelled from down the stairs.
"Yes mom!" Goten replied.
"Well, get ready! We want to get seats for the tournament!"
"Okay!" Goten called back. He turned around to Trunks. "We should get ready. Where's Gotenks?"
"He's probably getting ready," Trunks confirmed pointing to the closed bathroom door.
"Why does he need to get ready?" Goten asked bewilderedly.
"Hello, brushing his teeth." Trunks responded.
The two Saiyan friends waited for about a minute until Gotenks came out of the bathroom.
"Hehehe," Gotenks laughed. "The bathroom's all yours!"
Trunks and Goten simultaneously ran into the bathroom each of them grabbing their toothbrushes. Gotenks shrugged his shoulders and walked out of Trunks' room.
************************************************************************
"Is everyone here?" Bulma asked as Goten, Gotenks, and Trunks walked aboard the large 576 plane. This plane was as large as a van, not a minivan, but a van. The plane, can hold up to 20 people and has 8 wheels, 4 on each side of the plane.
"YES!" exclaimed everyone who had been at the party, except for Dende and Mr. PoPo.
"Good, then we can proceed with liftoff!" Bulma announced sounding more like she was about to take them into space instead of to The World Martial Arts Tournament.
Sitting in three seats by each other, Gotenks, Goten, and Trunks waited for the plane to liftoff. Soon, the plane was up in the air, the engine making a soft humming noise as it flew over the country plain.
"So, do you think they'll buy us being older than we actually are?" Gotenks asked Trunks and Goten.
"Well, if they have our ages from the last tournament on file, then no they won't by it," Trunks answered.
"To bad for you two," Gotenks laughed. "They have no record of me!"
Goten and Trunks sighed simultaneously. All three of them putting their elbows on the armrest and placing their fists on their right cheeks.
"Let's get a few things straight before you fight in the tournament," Chichi said breaking the silence. "There will be no flying during the tournament, Chi attacks will also be prohibited during the tournament, and going any level of Super Saiyan is also prohibited."
Goten, Gotenks, and Trunks groaned, while Vegeta snorted as a reply.
"Well, that basically takes the fun out of the whole tournament," Trunks replied.
"Also, please don't forget that we should let my dad win the tournament," Videl said.
"Don't worry," Goku reassured. "We'll be sure to let Hercule win the tournament to keep his reputation."
"Well...I think that's all," Chichi said trying to think of anything Goten, Trunks, and Gotenks would try to muster up while at the tournament.
"Mom, are we going to be able to fight in the Adult Division this year?" Goten asked.
"I don't think they're having a Child Division this year," Bulma explained not taking an eye off of the sky in front of her.
"Which, I might add, I personally think is a bad idea!" Chichi angrily exclaimed.
Goten's face lit up, "So we get to fight with Gohan and dad?"
Chichi made a snorting noise and answered in an irritated yes.
Goten, Gotenks, and Trunks smiled at each other, and started to throw punches in the air, as the large plane steadily approached the World Tournament's Island.
************************************************************************
"Look at all the people!" Goten exclaimed as he jumped out of Capsule Plane # 576. "I wonder if we're going to see any of our friends here."
"I doubt it," Trunks replied jumping out of the plane followed by Gotenks. "There are way too many people here for us to actually spot our friends."
"Our friends will drop dead when they see us fighting anyways," Gotenks said smirking. "The contestants won't know what hit them."
"Most of the contestants will be a waste of our time though," Trunks replied.
"That's why I'm going to mess around with them," Gotenks said answering to Trunks response. "I'm going to go easy on them, and then show them what true power really is!"
"By true power I hope you don't mean Super Saiyan?" Chichi asked who had been listening to their conversation.
"Of course not," Gotenks lied, a sweat drop forming on the back of his head as he turned around to face his mother. "Why would we ever disobey you?"
Chichi rolled her eyes remembering the incident with Majin Buu when Gotenks had first successfully fused, and how he disobeyed every word Piccolo had told him.
"Oh...you're thinking of that time with Piccolo aren't you?" Gotenks questioned.
But Chichi did not have time to answer because of a plane larger than the one they were flying in landed right beside them, causing a horde of people to rush towards the plane.
"What the hell!?" Vegeta asked over the noise of the crowd.
"It's my dad!" Videl answered as the crowd of people began to rapidly grow. "Let's get out of here!"
After Bulma had pushed some buttons on the outside of the ship causing it to become a capsule, the Z Fighters ran in the opposite direction of the crowd. The crowd went up in an uproar, as the large group of people made there way away from Hercule's plane.
"Hercule's fans just keep getting bigger don't they?" Gohan asked as the Z Fighters finally got away from the crowd of Hercule fans.
"Luckily everyone forgot about Majin Buu, or it would be 20 time bigger," Videl commented as Gohan put her on to the ground. "I'll go see dad later tonight."
"So...should we go signup for the tournament?" Goku asked.
"Well, there's nothing else for us to do," Gohan answered as they walked towards the tournament's entrance.
"Name, please?" A man in an orange kimono asked from behind a desk as they approached towards him.
"Son, Goku," Goku replied.
"Son, Gohan," Gohan answered.
"Son, Goten," Goten responded.
"Son, Gotenks," Gotenks replied.
"Briefs, Vegeta," Vegeta snorted.
"Briefs, Trunks," Trunks said.
"Is that all?" the man asked as he registered their names onto a piece of paper.
"What about you Piccolo?" Goku asked turning around towards Piccolo. "Are you going to fight?"
"No way," Piccolo replied crossing his arms. "You 6 are way to strong for me to handle."
"Well, if that's all that's going to fight, I need the audience to follow the road to the right, there you should find your seats," the man ordered. "The participants need to go through that door."
The man pointed at a door behind him where a large number of masculine people were already waiting for the tournament to begin.
"We'll see you later!" Bulma exclaimed as the Z Fighters that were not fighting followed the road to the right.
"Be sure to at least get in 2nd place!" Chichi yelled to Goku.
"I'll try!" Goku exclaimed waving to them. "Well...you heard the man let's get going!"
As the fighters left the man sighed to himself, "Great another group of weirdoes, just like the 25th Tournament."
"Dad! That's him!" Gotenks exclaimed pointing at a boy with spiky brown hair, a red unbuttoned vest, and baggy white pants. "That's Goton from yesterday!" The five fighters looked in the direction in which Gotenks was pointing to find that it was in fact Goton.
"So that's the brat that almost killed you three," Vegeta laughed. "What kind of a Saiyan loses to a weakling like him?"
"Don't underestimate him, Vegeta," Goku ordered. "He's holding back about all of his power. Plus, his Fire Emerald attack is stronger than any other attack I've ever felt before."
"What if we have to fight against him?" Gotenks asked. "He might use Chi attacks, or go Super Saiyan; can we go use Chi attacks and go Super Saiyan if he does?"
"Well, I don't think Chichi will mind if we have to," Goku answered. "At least I hope not..."
"Ok!" a blonde haired man with a black mustache, and a black suit for clothing exclaimed. "If you all don't mind we're going to start our first round of elimination, we will have you punch this machine with all your might, causing a number to appear on this screen! The persons with the weakest punches will not qualify to fight in the tournament, and the 16 persons with the strongest punches will qualify to enter the tournament! I will start off by calling your name in alphabetical order! First up is Goton who does not seem to have a last name!"
"Do you think he'll use his full power when punching the machine?" Goten asked as the Goton walked towards the punching machine.
"If he's a true Saiyan than he will," Vegeta answered. "A true Saiyan wouldn't be worried about what other people think when it comes to their strength."
"Well...I guess we'll find out if he's going to use his full power or not," Gohan said as Goton prepared to punch the machine.
Goton brought back his arm and sent if flying towards the machine, causing the machine to be pushed backwards, creating a large hole in the wall behind the machine. Everyone, but the Z Fighters' mouths dropped wide open as machine pieces flew everywhere.
"I believe I'm in," Goton said smirking.
"Umm...y-yes, yes you are in!" the announcer exclaimed surprised.
"Well, it doesn't look like he felt the need to hold back his power," Trunks uttered as he watched Goton walk back into the crowd of people.
"Well, actually he held back almost all his power on that attack," Goku explained. "He could have sent that machine across the world about 10 times with his full power."
"So he is stronger than I gave credit for," Vegeta admitted.
"That's still not his true power, Vegeta," Goku explained as another man was called up to a second punching machine. "I know that he can go Super Saiyan 2, which makes him a forbidding opponent."
"So he can go Super Saiyan 2?" Vegeta asked. "Is that the best he can do?"
"I wouldn't say that so lightly," Goku ordered. "If Gotenks hadn't gone Super Saiyan 3 than they would have been equals when fighting."
"So the brat's as strong as Gotenks?" Vegeta questioned.
"That's the weird part," Goku explained. "Goton and Gotenks' power level are exactly the same, which is why I think it would be a good idea for him to join our team."
"Suit yourself, Kakarot," Vegeta said smirking, "but I don't see the need in another fighter when I'm on your team."
************************************************************************
"Okay! May I have everybody's attention!?" the announcer announced as the crown went up in an uproar. "Welcome to the 26th World Martial Arts Tournament! We have 16 fighters waiting to fight Hercule in the last round, but only one of them will qualify to enter the ring with him! But before they can fight, we need them to randomly pick out a number from this box to see who they will be paired up against! First up to pick is Briefs, Trunks!"
"GO TRUNKS!" Bulma yelled from the crowd as Trunks walked up to the brown box seated on top of a table.
He reached into the box and searched around until he found a ball he thought he liked the best. Trunks pulled his hand out of the box to reveal the ball with the number 8 written on the ball.
"And Trunks pulls out the number 8!" the announcer exclaimed as another man in an orange kimono wrote Trunks' name under the number 8 on a billboard behind the announcer.
"May I have Briefs, Vegeta next!?" the announcer questioned.
Vegeta walked up to the box and reached inside of it to pull his arm out again revealing the number 5.
"Vegeta gets number 5!" the announcer announced.
The picking of numbers continued, Gohan getting the number 4, Goten getting number 13, Goku getting the number 1, Gotenks getting the number 11, Majin Buu picking number 9, Goton picking number 12, Kenzo Hagakawa picking number 2, The Great Werewolf picking number 14, Ryota Hayami picking number 7, Yuichi Yamamoto picking 6, General Bigmouth getting the number 10, Daichi Yamashiro picking number 16, Hachiro Miki picking number 15, and the only female Akari Mariner picking number 3.
"Great," Gotenks groaned. "I get paired off with Goton in my first match."
"Don't worry son," Goku reassured. "You can beat him at Super Saiyan 3 state if he goes any level of Super Saiyan."
"Thanks dad," Gotenks replied sarcastically, "I'll be sure to do that."
"All right! In the first match will be the fighter Son, Goku vs. Hagakawa, Kenzo! In the second match will be Mariner, Akari vs. Son, Gohan! The third match will be against Briefs, Vegeta and Yamamoto, Yuichi! After the third match, the fourth match will be held against Hayami, Ryota and the young Briefs, Trunks! Hercule's own pupil Majin Buu and General Bigmouth will fight the fifth match! The sixth match will be fought off by the two young boys Son, Gotenks and Goton! In the seventh match, young Son, Goten will have an all out battle with the terrifying Great Werewolf! And in the eighth match, Daichi Yamashiro will fight Hachiro Miki" the announcer exclaimed throwing his microphone up in the air and catching it with his right hand. "Are you ready!?"
The announcer was answered with a loud cheer from the crowd as the first fighters Goku and Kenzo walked up to the arena. Kenzo was a masculine man with short blonde hair that was spiked up. He wore a blue vest with blue pants, and blue wrists bands. They both got into a fighter's stance and stared each other in the eye.
"Remember you lose if you get knocked out of the ring, are on the ground for 10 seconds, you give up, or start to cry! You're disqualified if you poke your opponent in the eyes, kill your opponent, use any foreign object, leave during the tournament, or kick below the belt!" the announcer exclaimed. "With all of this said, let the match...begin!"
"Prepare to lose!" Kenzo exclaimed charging at Goku.
Goku disappeared behind Kenzo and started to chuckle, "You'll have to be faster than that to hit me."
"What?" Kenzo quizzically asked turning around to see that Goku was not there either.
"I'm behind you!" Goku chuckled.
Kenzo threw his fist behind him to find that he did not hit Goku.
"What's the matter?" Goku asked. "Having trouble keeping up with me?"
"This is amazing! Kenzo cannot seem to touch Goku at all, and Goku seems to only want to toy around with Kenzo!" the announcer announced excitedly.
"You coward! Come fight me face to face!" Kenzo exclaimed.
"Ok," Goku sighed appearing in front of Kenzo.
"Ha! Now I have you!" Kenzo exclaimed throwing punches at Goku's head.
All 20 of his punches hit Goku head on, but Goku just laughed, "Well, that was interesting!"
Kenzo's mouth dropped wide open, "What the hell are you?"
"Let's just say a really good fighter," Goku said lightly punching Kenzo on the cheek. Kenzo was thrown at the wall causing a large hole to form where he had landed.
"Well...um...G-Goku is the winner!" the announcer stammered.
The audience stared in surprise for a couple of seconds before breaking out in an enthusiastic cheer.
"Okay! The next fight will be fought by Akari and Gohan!"
"So are you scared?" Akari, a girl with short pink hair wearing a white shirt and short jeans questioned Gohan as they walked up towards the arena.
"No, should I be?" Gohan asked taking off his glasses and shoving them into his pocket.
"Arrogant are you?" Akari asked. "Heh, I can see you'll lose to me."
"Look who's talking," Gohan commented getting into a fighter's stance followed by Akari.
"Let the match...begin!"
Gohan charged at Akari, stopping inches in front of her and flicking her lightly on the forehead. This caused Akari to be thrown at the wall creating another hole in the wall just like Kenzo's.
"And the match goes to Gohan!" the announcer exclaimed as the crown went wild with excitement. "Okay will some paramedics please take Akari along with Kenzo to the Hospital Wing!?"
Two pairs of men, each clad in an orange kimono, ran across the arena with stretchers to pick up the unconscious forms of Akari and Kenzo.
"Okay after two eventless battles, we are now in our third match! Vegeta vs. Yuichi!"
"So what move should I use against you?" Yuichi, a man long blonde hair covered in a bandana asked as he and Vegeta walked into the arena getting into a fighter's stance. In the background you could here the cheers of girls as they held up signs saying: "We love you Yuichi!"
"No move of yours could hit me or hurt me nevertheless," Vegeta snorted. "You won't know what knocked you out..."
"Begin!"
Vegeta phased away, appearing behind Yuichi, then kicked him in the side, which caused him to be hurled into the tournament's announcer.
"And the winner is Vegeta!" the announcer stammered pushing the unconscious form of Yuichi off of him.
"NO!" the girls in the crown holding the signs for Yuichi cried. "Why did you lose?"
"We're in need of more paramedics! Okay for the fourth match we have Ryota and the young Trunks fighting it out!"
"I don't know how you made it here kid," Ryota, a man with spiky brown hair wearing a black shirt with matching black pants laughed as they walked up to the arena. "A kid like you shouldn't be fighting in a grownup's game."
"Shut up," Trunks mumbled getting into a fighter's stance.
"Let the match...begin!"
Trunks quickly disappeared from Ryota's view and reappeared at the edge of the arena.
"What's the matter? Having a hard time keeping up with me?" asked Trunks pulling down his right eyelid and spitting out his tongue as a gesture of an insult.
"Hey! That's my line!" Gotenks exclaimed from within the building where they waited for their match to begin.
"Why you little brat!" Ryota yelled as he charged towards Trunks.
Trunks quickly disappeared from Ryota's view again, only this time jumping on Ryota's head and running towards the other side of the arena.
"This is fantastic! Young Trunks seems to have proven himself to Ryota with his speed! If Trunks keeps this up, he will wear Ryota out giving him the match!"
"Okay you're boring me," Trunks said yawning. "I would have had more fun fighting my dad or Goten..."
"Die you damn brat!" Ryota exclaimed throwing his fists at Trunks.
Trunks caught Ryota's fist with ease and started to twist it around until Ryota started to cry in pain.
"Okay uncle! UNCLE!" Ryota yelled. "I GIVE UP!"
"Good then I win," Trunks laughed letting go of Ryota's fist.
"If I've heard right, it looks like Ryota has given up, making Trunks the winner of this round!"
There was a loud cheer from the audience as some of the girls threw roses and blew kisses at Trunks. Trunks smiled and then blushed holding up the victory sign in return.
"Next up in the fifth round is Hercule's pupil Majin Buu against the army's own general... General Bigmouth!"
"Are you prepared o lose!?" General Bigmouth, a 6'7 tall man wearing a black Gi just like Goku's with a green army hat asked.
"You have annoying voice!" Buu angrily exclaimed as they entered the ring.
"Begin fighting!"
"What are you talk- AHH!" General Bigmouth screamed as Buu lightly punched him in his nose causing his nose to break. "YOU IDIOT! YOU"VE BROKEN MY NOSE!"
"Buu no idiot! Buu hurt you!" Buu exclaimed punching General Bigmouth in the face. General Bigmouth was thrown at the wall causing another large hole to form.
"There you go folks! General Bigmouth stood not chance against the Mighty Buu!" the announcer yelled as girls holding signs of Buu's head cheered the loudest.
"Now in our sixth match we will have 12-year-old Gotenks verses the 15-year- old Goton!"
"Great," Gotenks thought as a lump appeared in his throat. "Why did I have to me put against him on my first match? I either have to win or lose, and unless I go Super Saiyan 3, then we might never finish the fight."
"Well, well, well," Goton laughed. "I wasn't expecting to fight you in my first match; I think it's time to finish the battle we started earlier..."
"Oh damnit!" Gotenks mentally exclaimed as he and Goton both got into fighter's stances...

The Tournament Begins
"Goten! Gotenks! Trunks! Wake up!" Chichi yelled from down the stairs.
Trunks rubbed his eyes as he woke up to find that he had left the TV on all night long. He looked around himself to find Gotenks on a bed beside him to the right, and Goten on a bed below his bed. Jumping off of his bed, Trunks went over to where Goten was sleeping and started to shake him awake.

Trunks let out a long sigh, "At least he's awake. Goten, we have to get ready for the tournament."
"Tournament...oh! I remember now! The tournament is on May 7th and today is May 7th!"
Trunks let out another sigh, what else was he supposed to do at his best friend's foolish comment? So he just let out another sigh. "Let's just get ready for the tournament."

Goton brought back his arm and sent if flying towards the machine, causing the machine to be pushed backwards, creating a large hole in the wall behind the machine. Everyone, but the Z Fighters' mouths dropped wide open as machine pieces flew everywhere.
"I believe I'm in," Goton said smirking.
"Umm...y-yes, yes you are in!" the announcer exclaimed surprised.
"Well, it doesn't look like he felt the need to hold back his power," Trunks uttered as he watched Goton walk back into the crowd of people.
"Well, actually he held back almost all his power on that attack," Goku explained. "He could have sent that machine across the world about 10 times with his full power."
"So he is stronger than I gave credit for," Vegeta admitted.
"That's still not his true power, Vegeta," Goku explained as another man was called up to a second punching machine. "I know that he can go Super Saiyan 2, which makes him a forbidding opponent."
"So he can go Super Saiyan 2?" Vegeta asked. "Is that the best he can do?"
"I wouldn't say that so lightly," Goku ordered. "If Gotenks hadn't gone Super Saiyan 3 than they would have been equals when fighting."
"So the brat's as strong as Gotenks?" Vegeta questioned.
"That's the weird part," Goku explained. "Goton and Gotenks' power level are exactly the same, which is why I think it would be a good idea for him to join our team."
"Suit yourself, Kakarot," Vegeta said smirking, "but I don't see the need in another fighter when I'm on your team."

"Okay! May I have everybody's attention!?" the announcer announced as the crown went up in an uproar. "Welcome to the 26th World Martial Arts Tournament! We have 16 fighters waiting to fight Hercule in the last round, but only one of them will qualify to enter the ring with him! But before they can fight, we need them to randomly pick out a number from this box to see who they will be paired up against! First up to pick is Briefs, Trunks!"
"GO TRUNKS!" Bulma yelled from the crowd as Trunks walked up to the brown box seated on top of a table.
He reached into the box and searched around until he found a ball he thought he liked the best. Trunks pulled his hand out of the box to reveal the ball with the number 8 written on the ball.
"And Trunks pulls out the number 8!" the announcer exclaimed as another man in an orange kimono wrote Trunks' name under the number 8 on a billboard behind the announcer.
"May I have Briefs, Vegeta next!?" the announcer questioned.
Vegeta walked up to the box and reached inside of it to pull his arm out again revealing the number 5.
"Vegeta gets number 5!" the announcer announced.
The picking of numbers continued, Gohan getting the number 4, Goten getting number 13, Goku getting the number 1, Gotenks getting the number 11, Majin Buu picking number 9, Goton picking number 12, Kenzo Hagakawa picking number 2, The Great Werewolf picking number 14, Ryota Hayami picking number 7, Yuichi Yamamoto picking 6, General Bigmouth getting the number 10, Daichi Yamashiro picking number 16, Hachiro Miki picking number 15, and the only female Akari Mariner picking number 3.
"Great," Gotenks groaned. "I get paired off with Goton in my first match."
"Don't worry son," Goku reassured. "You can beat him at Super Saiyan 3 state if he goes any level of Super Saiyan."
"Thanks dad," Gotenks replied sarcastically, "I'll be sure to do that."
"All right! In the first match will be the fighter Son, Goku vs. Hagakawa, Kenzo! In the second match will be Mariner, Akari vs. Son, Gohan! The third match will be against Briefs, Vegeta and Yamamoto, Yuichi! After the third match, the fourth match will be held against Hayami, Ryota and the young Briefs, Trunks! Hercule's own pupil Majin Buu and General Bigmouth will fight the fifth match! The sixth match will be fought off by the two young boys Son, Gotenks and Goton! In the seventh match, young Son, Goten will have an all out battle with the terrifying Great Werewolf! And in the eighth match, Daichi Yamashiro will fight Hachiro Miki" the announcer exclaimed throwing his microphone up in the air and catching it with his right hand. "Are you ready!?"
The announcer was answered with a loud cheer from the crowd as the first fighters Goku and Kenzo walked up to the arena. Kenzo was a masculine man with short blonde hair that was spiked up. He wore a blue vest with blue pants, and blue wrists bands. They both got into a fighter's stance and stared each other in the eye.
"Remember you lose if you get knocked out of the ring, are on the ground for 10 seconds, you give up, or start to cry! You're disqualified if you poke your opponent in the eyes, kill your opponent, use any foreign object, leave during the tournament, or kick below the belt!" the announcer exclaimed. "With all of this said, let the match...begin!"
"Prepare to lose!" Kenzo exclaimed charging at Goku.
Goku disappeared behind Kenzo and started to chuckle, "You'll have to be faster than that to hit me."
"What?" Kenzo quizzically asked turning around to see that Goku was not there either.
"I'm behind you!" Goku chuckled.
Kenzo threw his fist behind him to find that he did not hit Goku.
"What's the matter?" Goku asked. "Having trouble keeping up with me?"
"This is amazing! Kenzo cannot seem to touch Goku at all, and Goku seems to only want to toy around with Kenzo!" the announcer announced excitedly.
"You coward! Come fight me face to face!" Kenzo exclaimed.
"Ok," Goku sighed appearing in front of Kenzo.
"Ha! Now I have you!" Kenzo exclaimed throwing punches at Goku's head.
All 20 of his punches hit Goku head on, but Goku just laughed, "Well, that was interesting!"
Kenzo's mouth dropped wide open, "What the hell are you?"
"Let's just say a really good fighter," Goku said lightly punching Kenzo on the cheek. Kenzo was thrown at the wall causing a large hole to form where he had landed.
"Well...um...G-Goku is the winner!" the announcer stammered.
The audience stared in surprise for a couple of seconds before breaking out in an enthusiastic cheer.
"Okay! The next fight will be fought by Akari and Gohan!"
"So are you scared?" Akari, a girl with short pink hair wearing a white shirt and short jeans questioned Gohan as they walked up towards the arena.
"No, should I be?" Gohan asked taking off his glasses and shoving them into his pocket.
"Arrogant are you?" Akari asked. "Heh, I can see you'll lose to me."
"Look who's talking," Gohan commented getting into a fighter's stance followed by Akari.
"Let the match...begin!"
Gohan charged at Akari, stopping inches in front of her and flicking her lightly on the forehead. This caused Akari to be thrown at the wall creating another hole in the wall just like Kenzo's.
"And the match goes to Gohan!" the announcer exclaimed as the crown went wild with excitement. "Okay will some paramedics please take Akari along with Kenzo to the Hospital Wing!?"
Two pairs of men, each clad in an orange kimono, ran across the arena with stretchers to pick up the unconscious forms of Akari and Kenzo.
"Okay after two eventless battles, we are now in our third match! Vegeta vs. Yuichi!"
"So what move should I use against you?" Yuichi, a man long blonde hair covered in a bandana asked as he and Vegeta walked into the arena getting into a fighter's stance. In the background you could here the cheers of girls as they held up signs saying: "We love you Yuichi!"
"No move of yours could hit me or hurt me nevertheless," Vegeta snorted. "You won't know what knocked you out..."
"Begin!"
Vegeta phased away, appearing behind Yuichi, then kicked him in the side, which caused him to be hurled into the tournament's announcer.
"And the winner is Vegeta!" the announcer stammered pushing the unconscious form of Yuichi off of him.
"NO!" the girls in the crown holding the signs for Yuichi cried. "Why did you lose?"
"We're in need of more paramedics! Okay for the fourth match we have Ryota and the young Trunks fighting it out!"
"I don't know how you made it here kid," Ryota, a man with spiky brown hair wearing a black shirt with matching black pants laughed as they walked up to the arena. "A kid like you shouldn't be fighting in a grownup's game."
"Shut up," Trunks mumbled getting into a fighter's stance.
"Let the match...begin!"
Trunks quickly disappeared from Ryota's view and reappeared at the edge of the arena.
"What's the matter? Having a hard time keeping up with me?" asked Trunks pulling down his right eyelid and spitting out his tongue as a gesture of an insult.
"Hey! That's my line!" Gotenks exclaimed from within the building where they waited for their match to begin.
"Why you little brat!" Ryota yelled as he charged towards Trunks.
Trunks quickly disappeared from Ryota's view again, only this time jumping on Ryota's head and running towards the other side of the arena.
"This is fantastic! Young Trunks seems to have proven himself to Ryota with his speed! If Trunks keeps this up, he will wear Ryota out giving him the match!"
"Okay you're boring me," Trunks said yawning. "I would have had more fun fighting my dad or Goten..."
"Die you damn brat!" Ryota exclaimed throwing his fists at Trunks.
Trunks caught Ryota's fist with ease and started to twist it around until Ryota started to cry in pain.
"Okay uncle! UNCLE!" Ryota yelled. "I GIVE UP!"
"Good then I win," Trunks laughed letting go of Ryota's fist.
"If I've heard right, it looks like Ryota has given up, making Trunks the winner of this round!"
There was a loud cheer from the audience as some of the girls threw roses and blew kisses at Trunks. Trunks smiled and then blushed holding up the victory sign in return.
"Next up in the fifth round is Hercule's pupil Majin Buu against the army's own general... General Bigmouth!"
"Are you prepared o lose!?" General Bigmouth, a 6'7 tall man wearing a black Gi just like Goku's with a green army hat asked.
"You have annoying voice!" Buu angrily exclaimed as they entered the ring.
"Begin fighting!"
"What are you talk- AHH!" General Bigmouth screamed as Buu lightly punched him in his nose causing his nose to break. "YOU IDIOT! YOU"VE BROKEN MY NOSE!"
"Buu no idiot! Buu hurt you!" Buu exclaimed punching General Bigmouth in the face. General Bigmouth was thrown at the wall causing another large hole to form.
"There you go folks! General Bigmouth stood not chance against the Mighty Buu!" the announcer yelled as girls holding signs of Buu's head cheered the loudest.
"Now in our sixth match we will have 12-year-old Gotenks verses the 15-year- old Goton!"
"Great," Gotenks thought as a lump appeared in his throat. "Why did I have to me put against him on my first match? I either have to win or lose, and unless I go Super Saiyan 3, then we might never finish the fight."
"Well, well, well," Goton laughed. "I wasn't expecting to fight you in my first match; I think it's time to finish the battle we started earlier..."
"Oh damnit!" Gotenks mentally exclaimed as he and Goton both got into fighter's stances...
