Chapter 10

Author: Hey fans, today Masuto isn't here, so we have a returning Guest, DarkFoxKit

DarkFoxKit: Masuto is taking a little break under the ocean... calling me crazy...

Author: So, what do you think of the story so far?

DarkFoxKit: Oh you know me; I'm a sucker for a good time travel fanfic, especially if kid Goten or pre-teen Gohan is involved

Author: Did you expect Gohan to enter into the story as a main character?

DarkFoxKit: Yes, because it says; Goten & Gohan. I figured he would come in sooner or later. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a certain demi-Saiyan *cough* Masuto *cough* to torture... I mean talk to about his little issues with me; you go on and do the disclaimer

Author: We don't have to do it yet, but ok. I don't own any part of Dragonball

DarkFoxKit: By the way, I think Goten and Gohan should form a brotherly bond during this time trip, I'm just sayin'

They time machine landed in a field just outside of the town where the tournament is held. They stepped out to find it was getting dark. "The tournament entering will close soon, we better hurry, Goten," stated Gohan. "I don't sense Cypher anywhere," Goten began, "he must be suppressing his energy." Then suddenly, Cypher and Felcia came before them. "So," he started, "I see that you managed to overcome Garcot." "That's right, and I'm going to beat you too," Goten replied. "I see you brought Gohan with you, how amusing" Cypher said laughing, "Do you honestly think that will be enough to defeat me?" "Yes," answered Goten. "You better enter the tournament soon; we don't want you to be too late," Cypher stated, "I look forward to your defeat." With that, Cypher and Felcia took off into the night. "Let's go," Goten began, "but let's not fly." "Right," Gohan replied. As they were walking, Gohan had something bothering him.

"Goten, what's like?…" Gohan started. "What's what like Gohan?" asked Goten. "Well, you know," Gohan continued. "You mean growing up without dad being there?" Goten asked. Gohan nodded. Goten decided that it couldn't hurt to tell Gohan that he'd been revived. "It's not that bad," he began, "but dad isn't dead anymore." "So, then he decided to come back," Gohan replied, "Just one more thing, I'd like to see your full power." "Only if I can see what yours is now," stated Goten, "I know during the Cell games, yours was higher than mine before I went into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." They both began to power up. First, they became Super Saiyan 2. Then, they kept powering up to their limits. In the end, their powers were almost equal. "I didn't expect our powers to be so close," Gohan started. "Me either," Goten agreed, "Well, we better hurry if we want to get signed in before they close."

Both of them dropped back down to Natural Super Saiyan. They got to the tournament just in time. "Registration will be closing in ten minutes, if you haven't registered, please do so now," announced someone with a megaphone. They approached the sign in desk. "Is this where we sign up for the tournament?" Goten asked. "Yes, but are you sure you want to register?" asked the registration guy. "Of course we do," answered Goten. "Ok then, I just need your names," stated the registration guy. "My name is umm… Takeo," Goten began, "and this is umm… Karuson." "Ok, you're all registered," the registration guy announced. They turned and almost ran into Kid Goku, who was staring at them. "Wow," Goku said in awe, "you two have really spiky hair." He continued to stare at them. Gohan and Goten didn't really want to be anywhere near Goku, much less talk to him. Krillin came up next to Goku.

"Goku, it's not polite to stare," he stated. Then, he turned to Gohan and Goten. "Sorry about my friend," Krillin began, "he doesn't have very good manners. My name is Krillin and this is Goku." Goten couldn't think of what to say, so instead, Gohan spoke up. "Good to meet you. My name is Karuson," he started, "and this is my younger brother…" he paused for a minute, realizing that he shouldn't have said that, but he decided to go with it. "…Takeo," Gohan finished. Goku was still staring at them. "Goku, stop that," Krillin stated. "I'm not trying too," Goku began, "It's just that, it's like I know them. They seem similar to me." "Are you crazy?" Krillin asked, "They have blonde hair and you have black." Both Goten and Gohan were glad that Krillin was there. Then, Master Roshi walked up. "Goku, Krillin, it's time to go to our hotel," Roshi stated. "Ok, Master," Goku started, "bye Takeo, bye Karuson."

The waved good bye as Goku, Krillin, and Roshi got in to a taxi and left. Goten and Gohan also decided to take a taxi so that they could blend in better. "Where to?" asked the cab driver. "The nearest hotel," answered Gohan. "You have money to pay for this, right?" the driver asked. Goten pulled out the wad of money grabbed 50,000 Zeni and gave it to the guy. "Keep the change," Goten replied. They were heading to the hotel, when Goten's stomach began to growl. "Gohan, we should get something to eat before we go to the hotel," Goten stated hungrily. "We need to get a room in the hotel first," Gohan replied. Goten folded his arms, "humph, fine." Gohan inwardly chuckled. "He's so much like dad," Gohan thought to himself. They arrived at the hotel. It was a very tall building. The inside was that of an average hotel. They were lucky to get there when they did. The hotel was nearly fully booked for the tournament.

"Ok Goten," Gohan started, "we're all checked in, now we can go get some food." The restaurant was just down the street, so they could just walk and get there in good time without the use of their super speed. The line was out the door. In the end of the line, were Roshi, Goku, and Krillin. "Goten, maybe we should find another place to eat," Gohan whispered. It was too late; Goten was already in the line. Gohan decided that it doesn't really matter anyway. Goku took notice that Gohan and Goten were behind him. "It's you guys again," said Goku smiling. "Hey Goku," Goten replied. "So are you guys entering the tournament?" asked Goku. "Of course," Gohan started, "it's a great place to test our abilities." Krillin joined in on the conversation, "are you sure that can handle it? We were trained by the great Master Roshi. You wouldn't stand a chance against us."

Roshi turned around and whacked Krillin on the head with his cane. "Krillin, I've told you before, don't be arrogant at the tournament, it's very foolish," stated Roshi. "Yes master," Krillin apologized. They were so distracted with their conversation, that they didn't realize that they were already at the front of the line. After they got food, Gohan felt a little embarrassed to eat fast, knowing that his past father was just a few tables away. Goten however, didn't seem to care, for he was eating as fast as he normally did. Gohan started eating slow, but couldn't stay at the pace for long. Very quickly, his pace increased to as much as Goten's and Goku's. When they finished, the entire restaurant was staring at the three of them. Gohan's face turned red. He was extremely embarrassed. "Goten, let's go now," Gohan whispered. "Ok," Goten replied.

Author: Thinking about what

Masuto: Well, I'd like to resolve the conflict between DarkFoxKit and me
