"Okay ladies and gentlemen. These are our last fighters Tien vs. Trunks!"

The crowd cheered as this was the last of the fighters for this round and that meant one more round before they get to see Mr. Satan fight. Tien stood near the edge of the ring as Trunks stood opposite of him and smiled as the horn sounded. He knew what Yamcha was doing when he just attacked Gohan without giving the half Saiyan time to react so it will work for him too on Trunks. He flew towards Trunks and showered him with punches and kicks that could be heard by those near the ring.

"And it seems Tien is following in Yamcha's steps of not giving Trunks time to get ready. I just hope he doesn't end up like Yamcha and knocked out of the ring."

"My these humans are so encouraging towards one another," Renkia said with an amused smile.

Trunks just smiled as he blocked all of Tien's attacks, knowing full well his friend was going to be doing just this so he was more prepared than Gohan was but of course they all promised no holding back just because there are two assassins waiting for their chance to kill Goku and Vegeta, so when Tien threw a punch, he caught it and then caught the other fist flying towards his face. They were both now in an embrace to see who can hold out longer. Trunks then suddenly lifted his knee and hit Tien right under the chin, making the three eye warrior stumble back a little.

"And Tien took one to the chin."

"Does that announcer have to tell us every move these fighters make?" Fira asked, crossing her arms.

"You're just mad because I ate the last of the corndogs," Renkia said, watching as Tien and Trunks suddenly jumped from one ring to another until they were now flying in the air and continuing the fight there.

"Can you believe these people," the reporter said, standing next to Mr. Satan. "Every single one of those fighters is cheating by using wires. How are they supposed to fight Mr. Satan in a fair fight?"

"We'll disqualify them so that makes the winner and he doesn't have to bother fighting these fakers," the man that book the tournament replied. He turned to Mr. Satan and wondered if he wouldn't mind that. "Mr. Satan, will that be alright with you? It's not fair that such an honest man such as you should fight these cheaters."

"Well...I guess...we, that is..."

"What Mr. Satan is saying is he'd rather fight them so he can show everyone that these fighters are nothing but cheaters," his manager said. "Mr. Satan will fight the winner of the third round as planed and there he will bring an end to all these false fights."

Trunks and Tien were now flying all over blocking and attacking each other until Trunks had enough and when Tien powered up he powered up to Super Saiyan. Tien flew above Trunks and put his hands together in a triangle.

"Tri-Beam!"

The blast flew towards Trunks but Trunks was faster and disappeared before it hit and appeared behind Tien, kicking him down into the water.

"And Trunks is the winner! So our final four are Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, and Trunks. We will take another hour break before starting our third round."

"It's time sister dear. Now or never." Fira stood up and walked as the crowd around them got up as well.

"So you guys think this is going to be it?" Krillin asked as he sat in the food court with his friends. They had maybe thirty more minutes before the third round started and they had to wait until they got to another arena made special for this round.

"I would say this is when they'll make their move," Goku said. "They've been watching us fight for the last two rounds and their ki has been calm. I'm sure they can't wait much longer."

"But how will you know if you actually fight them? What if Gohan and Trunks fight them?" Yamcha asked, trying to keep it down so Chichi and Bulma didn't hear him. He might be a good fighter but when it came to those two women, especially Chichi, they could beat him down in a heart beat.

"We'll just have to see what happens but I'm sure they will find a way to fix this so we fight them instead," Goku said with a smile. He wasn't a bit nervous about fighting them but more excited than anything. It's not every day you get to fight another breed of Saiyans and he was eager to fight one of them. He looked up when the announcer told them they were near the new arena and to get ready.

"Well, now we find out. We'll keep an eye here incase they try anything else," Tien said. He watched his friends walk towards a door where they were instructed to go before the break and the rest of them walked towards the new arena where they would be able to keep watch over everyone. He stood near one part of the arena, Yamcha stood across from him on the other side of the arena, Krillin was between them, and Piccolo was across from Krillin so they covered all four corners of the arena. In the middle of the arena was a pyramid type construction with four long tubes going down in four different directions. The four fighters were standing over the tubes and waiting for the rules of this round.

"Alright fighters, new island, new rules. The hatches that you are standing over will drop beneath and you will follow the tubes you have been assigned to a special fighting area somewhere on this island. Once you arrive, you will fight one of the alien fighters we have selected. Once you have beaten your opponent you must take the designated tube back here and reach the top before the other fighters. The winner then goes on and fights our champion, Mr. Satan."

A horn sounded and the four fighters suddenly felt themselves being dropped down the long tubes and something was pulling them down the tubes and to their designated. "And so we can still see a terrific fight, we have set up four cameras on the island where the fighters will be so we can see what is going on." Above the crowd, four screens came down and turned one but something was wrong. One of the cameras wasn't working. "Looks like we might have some technical difficulties with one of the cameras but we are working on it now."

Piccolo just stared at the screen and frowned. He didn't like this one bit. First he could feel the Dragyan sisters on the island but not in or around the arena, two Goku and them where assigned a tube, and third a camera wasn't working. This only meant one thing and he knew the outcome wasn't going to end well. He watched as he saw Goku and Vegeta on two separate screens, not near one another and facing two of the aliens the TV has been showing. On the third screen he saw Gohan and Trunks together and they were facing two aliens but those weren't the aliens they've been told had entered. Those were different and familiar looking aliens.

"Damnit," Krillin's voice said behind him. He turned around and saw Krillin, Yamcha, and Tien behind him looking at the screen across from him. The one that shows Gohan and Trunks. "So those girls fixed this as well. I thought they were after Goku and Vegeta? Not that I want them too."

"Don't you get it," Piccolo said his attention back to the screen. "Do you really think that Gohan and Trunks will just sit and let those girls try to kill their fathers?"

"I get it," Yamcha said. "To make sure Gohan and Trunks don't interfere, they're taking them out first. Great. What are we suppose to do now?"

"Nothing. We have to wait and see what happens but if things get out of control, then we interfere," was Piccolo's only response.
