The tournament began and the hundreds of thousands of contestants were put into brackets. Kakarot sat on his throne and watched the fights. The competitors were much stronger than they were three years ago and their fighting techniques had improved as well. Almost every fight was a close battle, however in the mix of fighters were some exceptional fighters who stood out from the rest of the group. One was Tenshinhan another was Chaozu and finally there was a young woman who looked somewhat familiar, however he couldn't quite remember where he had seen her before. Finally there was a young woman named launch Kakarot remembered her from the time he spent at Roshi's house. She was a very strange woman she had two personalities completely different from one another. One was a meek kind woman with blue hair while the other one was mean and had blonde hair they would switch every time she sneezed. However something was different while Launch was in her blonde haired mode her personality seemed a mix between the two personalities.

She was fierce and efficient in her fighting yet stopped when her oppenets could no longer fight back. She was extremely similar to a saiyan woman in her attitude. Now she had the power to back up that attitude. Kakarot figured he would talk to her after the tournament. For now though he was enjoying the fighting that was happening. Even though the fighters were nowhere near the level of saiyans or most other alien races. The growth the humans had experienced was tremendous they went from having some of the weakest power levels in the galaxy to being a moderately powerful species. Kakarot watched as round after round passed. With each passing round the fights grew more intense and the damage each fighter obtained grew as well. After the first day 512 competitors were left they all entered the healing tanks then went to sleep. The next morning the stadium was filled with spectators who wanted to see the final matches. One by one the matches were fought and one by one the competitors dropped out.

Finally the final eight fighters were matched up against one another Tenshinhan, Chaozu, launch, and the one girl who looked familiar all made it. That was to be expected since their battle power was substantially higher than any of their opponents. He checked his scouter and looked at their power levels Tenshinhan was at 975 Chaozu was at 585 launch was at 400 and the mysterious black haired girl was at 350. The four other fighters ranged from 250 to 275. They were given a half hour to heal then they started their fights.

Tenshinhan started his fight against his first opponent he was a big man standing at about 6' 4 he was the one with a power level of 275. The referee started the match and the man started talking "I'll take you down in just 30 seconds" He proclaimed. Tenshinhan just smiled and started running around the fighting ring faster than the man could see. Suddenly Tenshinhan appeared in front of the man and fired three punches into his gut the man collapsed. The referee counted to ten and the man didn't get up. They carted him off and put him in a healing chamber. Next Chaozu had his match he was going to fight someone with a power level of 165. The match started and Chaozu took to the air while he was in the air he started firing dodon rays at his opponent. They flew so fast that his opponent was unable to dodge after a couple minutes his opponent fell to the ground unconscious. The fight would have been over in a couple seconds however Chaozu didn't want to hurt his opponent so he held himself back. Next was Launch, her opponent stood no chance. She just played with her opponent she evaded all his attacks and took his best Ki attacks head on. Finally after he tired himself out she walked up to him and flicked him in his forehead knocking him out.

Finally the last match in the quarter finals was about to begin. The mysterious young woman got in her fighting stance and Kakarot instantly recognized it. It was the turtle hermit style and not only that but it had absolutely no flaws. Suddenly Kakarot realized who it was. It was Chi-Chi the Ox-kings daughter she had certainly grown from the little brat that he used to know. Obviously she had taken her training seriously and became a very capable fighter. The referee started the match and Chi-Chi sprinted forward as fast as she could, before her opponent could even register what had happened she appeared in front of her opponent and delivered three quick punches to his gut. The man fell to his knees and coughed up blood Chi-Chi delivered a chop to the back of his neck knocking him out. After that decisive match it was time for the semi-finals. Tenshinhan would fight Chaozu and Chi-Chi would fight Launch. Tenshinhan didn't want to hurt his friend so when the match started he decided to go with the least painful route and phased behind Chaozu hitting him on the back of the neck with just enough power to knock him out.

After the ten count they put him on a stretcher and put him in a healing tank. The referee called the next two contestants, Chi-Chi and Launch, to the arena. When the referee started the match the two rushed at one another and began trading blows with one another. Launch had the advantage in speed and power, however Kakarot knew better than to count Chi-Chi out yet. That stubborn girl wouldn't stop until every last bone in her body was broken. He thought to himself that perhaps that there was something about this planet that produced women who were very saiyan like in personality. Maybe their DNA was't that different than a saiyans. As they were clashing it became evident that Chi-Chi had better control of her energy and her stance was better with far fewer gaps in her defense. These factors helped level the playing field. Suddenly one of Launch's punches got through Chi-Chi's defense hitting her in the solar plexus not letting up for a second she began raining blows down upon Chi-Chi. After a couple minutes they separated Chi-Chi had bruises all over her body and was panting heavily.

"You should just give up already it's obvious that you can't keep up with my speed or strength." said Launch. "You should never count a warrior out until they can't move" said Chi-Chi as she stood up with a look of determination in her eyes. With that they rushed at each other again Chi-Chi struck Launch in the gut then in the face followed by a kick, Launch responded by hitting Chi-Chi in her ribs and kicking her in her stomach. This exchanged continued for around thirty minutes before they separated Chi-Chi was even more battered than before bleeding from her brow and bruised on almost every part of her body. Launch while not as battered had her fair share of bruises and cuts. It was obvious that neither one could go much further and that any minute they would collapse from exhaustion.

They both got into a the stance for the kamehameha and both began chanting kaa-mee-haa-mee-haa then let their blasts loose. They met in the middle of the ring and Launch's blast began pushing Chi-Chi's back gritting her teeth in effort Chi-Chi pushed her body even farther in order to match Launches blast. Suddenly the two blasts exploded catching both the fighters in the recoil. When the dust cleared both of the woman were down the referee began counting ten, and after the count neither one got up. "Well whichever one of these fighters who can get up first and proclaim that they are the winner will win the match." yelled the referee. The two women started moving Chi-Chi was a little ahead of Launch she made it all the up to her feet "I am the win...'' was all Chi-Chi said before she fell to the ground unconscious.

Right after Launch made it to her feet "I am the winner." she said. After she finished she walked up to Chi-Chi and helped her up. "That was a wonderful match let's have another one someday." Launch said to Chi-Chi. "Okay." said Chi-Chi with a smile on her face. They were both carted off to the healing tanks and after she was done she would fight Tenshinhan in the finals. A couple hours later Launch emerged from the healing chambers and headed towards the arena where the final match would take place. She had no doubt about the outcome of the match having already seen Tenshinhan's power level herself, however something inside her made it so she didn't want to give up even though she had no chance of winning. Maybe it had something to do with her training.

flashback 4 years ago: Launch watched as king Kakarot made his announcement that would change the world. Currently in her blue haired form she was at master Roshi's house after being rescued by Krillin and Yamcha. You see she was born with a strange disorder she had two separate personalities and whenever she sneezed she would switch between them. One had blue hair and was extremely meek and naive, while the other had blonde hair and was aggressive always willing to fight with little to no reason. Both forms knew of the others existence and didn't want to sneeze and become the other one. During the last time she was in her blonde haired form she had robbed a bank and was on the run from the police when the sneezed and became her blue haired form trapped by the police. Suddenly two mysterious boys appeared and rescued her from the police thinking that they were imposters.

After they took her to Roshi's house where she told them the whole story at first they didn't believe her but after she sneezed and tried shooting them all they believed her. She learned that the old man was a great martial artist and that the two boys who rescued her were students of master Roshi. Originally she didn't plan on training having no desire to fight, however with the announcement by king Kakarot she saw the perfect opportunity to not have to worry about her other form. After all if she owned the section of Earth she lived on then she wouldn't have a reason to steal anymore. She then trained under master Roshi she also studied the guide provided to all citizens of Earth on the uses of Ki.

After much training she finally learned how to use it and she worked on developing her Ki on top of all the physical training master Roshi gave her. Then ten months after king Kakarot's announcement while meditating she came across her other self. "Hello I see you have been training our body hard I'm impressed I never thought that you would have the fortitude to stick with the training." wanted the yellow haired Launch. "Well I was tired of having to fear what you would do while you were in control of our body and decided to do something about it." said the blue haired Launch.

"Well you have done a fantastic jobbed I think it's about time I destroyed you and took control of our body." said the yellow haired Launch as she approached the blue haired one. "Fine if that's how it has to be I'll fight you." said the blue haired Launch. With that they launched at one another and began trading blows. The yellow haired Launch being more ruthless and having no hesitation when dealing damage to her opponent soon gained the upper hand. Blonde Launch landed a right hook on the other Launch's face followed by a roundhouse kick that broke a few of her ribs suddenly she shoved her fist into the gut of the blue haired Launch and shot a ball of energy into her internal organs. The blue haired Launch fell to her knees and began coughing up blood. The yellow haired Launch laughed for a couple seconds until she suddenly felt an immense pain in her head. "What is happening? Why am I in such pain?" asked the blonde Launch.

"You fool you just killed half of your mind even if you survive which you probably won't you will early be a shell of yourself." said the blue haired Launch as she laid on the ground in the mind scape. "In that case I'll just absorb you into me and prevent that from happening." said the blonde Launch as she walked up to the body of the blue haired Launch. She placed her hands upon the other Launch she used he Ki to enter the body of her counterpart and absorb the essence of her counterpart. A brilliant white light enveloped her and everything mixed in her body. When the light died down a new person was there a mixture of both personalities with the looks of the blonde haired one.

She no longer felt the need to steal all she wanted to do was become stronger fight and use her power to protect her friends. From that point on she trained even harder than before. When the tournament came around she entered, however she lost early on to someone named Daniel. After her loss she left the tournament returned to the island and trained even harder for the next three years. Now she was a finalist in the tournament and even though she had no chance of winning she felt herself getting excited at the prospect of fighting a powerful fighter.

present time: Launch made her way to the fighting ring. Tenshinhan and Launch both got into fighting stances and got ready to fight. The referee started the match and Launch ran at Tenshinhan as fast as she could and started throwing punches and launching kicks, however no matter how fast she punched she was unable to hit the warrior who seemed to be two steps ahead of her all the time. After a couple minutes of this she took a couple steps back. "If this had been a couple years earlier you would have trounced me, however as of now you stand no chance of winning." said Tenshinhan with a look of pity on his face. "I know that, but I still want to fight you. For some reason something in me is screaming for a good fight." said Launch with a look of determination on her face. "Well then I won't hold anything back." said Tenshinhan as he started moving around the ring faster than the eye could see. (even though he said he was fighting with all his power he was holding a fair bit of power back. After all he didn't want to kill her.).

He appeared in front of her and she barely got her block up in time before he hit her even though she blocked his attack it nearly broke her arm. The next punch punch she couldn't block and it hit her square in the jaw. Tenshinhan rained punch after punch upon her until finally she fell to the ground Ki exhausted bloody bruised and battered with quite a few broken bones. After a count of ten Tenshinhan was announced to be the winner and Launch was carted off to the healing chambers again. There was a celebration to celebrate, however part way into it the palace alarms went off signaling that someone was trying to break into the royal treasury. Running to see what happened Kakarot arrived to find his wife Bulma on the ground dead from a broken neck next to her was a piece of paper with a symbol that translated to demon.

The dragon ball was also missing. Kakarot rose from the ground whoever did this was going to spend the rest of their undoubtably short life in excruciating pain before he killed them. He picked up Bulma's body to a preservation chamber in order to keep her body from decaying until he could bring her back with the dragon balls. He went to her science room and looked around until he found the dragon radar. He turned it on and saw that all seven dragon balls were several hundred miles away. Blasting off as fast as he could he traversed the distance in a couple of minutes, however a minute before he made it to the dragon balls the sky darkened signaling that Shenron had been summoned. Landing on the ground he saw an extremely tall green humanoid figure with antenna and pointy ears speaking to Shenron. He was surrounded by 4 freakishly deformed minions.

"I wish I had my youth and all my power returned to me." Spoke the mysterious figure. as soon as Shenron granted him his wish the being launched a beam at the dragon destroying it. Kakarot stared at the scene he had just witnessed unable to comprehend what had happened. The only way of bringing his wife back had just been destroyed. Consumed with an utter hatred unlike any he had known before. He was going to destroy this creature. He would make it feel the same agony that he was feeling right now paid back a hundredfold. Kakarot walked up to them. "Which one of you killed my wife?" said Kakarot with a look of hatred in his eyes. "That would be me Tambourine. Servant to the demon lord Piccolo." said one of the four minions. Before he could say anything else Kakarot appeared in front of the monster and shot a Ki blast disintegrating it. He then shot three more killing the other minions. "I see you killed my children quite easily, however I the great Lord Piccolo will kill you for your insolence.
