Gohan's POV
I looked to where my little sister had run off too, worried. She lately has been overworking herself to the point of exhaustion. I know she wants to fight and be like dad, but there's a limit! At the moment I was looking for Videl. Lately I've come too really like her and I think she might even like me. But I wonder in a romantic way? I was near Picollo and dad waiting for further instructions on our part of the tournament. I hope I don't miss Goten and Gabriella's fights, I thought. While talking to dad I was still looking for Videl.
"Gabriella is like her future self huh?" dad asked after a while. I nodded
"Yeah she is it's like she never left. But she definitely loves to fight more than future Gabby."I know Gabriella hates being compared to her; I have a feeling she might now about her future self. But I don't tell anyone this.
"I noticed that too." Dad laughed, "I had no idea I had a son though this definitely made my day! Does Goten like to fight? Or did you make him enter?" he wondered.
"Yup, he does." This made dad even happier. I looked over too Picollo and he seemed really tense. Was he nervous for the tournament? There's no reason he should be. He's one of the strongest people here. "What's wrong Picollo?" I finally asked him.
"I feel a new presence, not one I recognize." He told me.
"You're probably just feeling Sailor Mini Moon and Pluto Picollo. You haven't felt their energies in a very long time, maybe it's throwing you off." Dad explained. I agreed with him. I looked over to Mini Moon as she was talking with Vegeta. She has somewhat changed with in the last few years. Only in height. Her strength has stayed the same. When she got home I guess she stopped training and settled down with Helios. I left dad and Picollo to go talk to her.
"Hey Mini Moon." I said, she smiled and hugged me, I hugged back.
"Now that Grandma Gabriella isn't here…Hi Uncle Gohan!" she laughed, Pluto rolled her eyes at her princess.
"You've been holding that in since you've gotten here haven't you?" Vegeta snickered, Mini Moon nodded.
"You bet I have Grandpa V! Its good thing my mom isn't here!"
"Why do you think we made her stay home at the palace?" Pluto told her. "Serena could never keep a secret."
"Yeah I know that. I was kind of glad she stayed home! Are the other scouts coming at all Pluto, have you gotten a hold of them through the communicator?" She wondered. Was the threat there worried about that big of a deal? I looked back over to Picollo and he was still in the same position, dad was off with Krillin. He was very tense with his arms folded and eyes closed as I if trying to concentrate. What could Picollo be so worried about? I haven't felt anything bad since we've gotten here.
"Yes I have, the rest of the outer scouts will come to watch the tournament." She smiled; I did too looking forward to seeing Michelle, Amara and Hotaru.
"Yay!" she cheered being as ditzy as her mother, "even Hotaru?"Pluto nodded once again, Vegeta rolled his eyes as Mini Moon cheered again.
"You're like your mother." He was trying not to smile. I heard my name in the far distance. It was finally Videl. She ran up to me at first I didn't recognize her… she had cut almost all her hair! It was actually better this way then when it was long. She styled it so it looked it was spiked in different directions.
"Hey Go… I mean Great Sayaman. "She almost forgot I entered a different name, for a while I did too.
"Hey Videl." I smiled, genuinely happy to see her.
"So where are Goten and Gabriella? I wanted to wish them good luck on their fights." She asked looking around.
"They are already left to get started. I hope they haven't actually begun." I sighed.
"They won't for another ten minutes they have to draw on who they're going to fight." Videl said. "We will have to go through eliminations. My dad wouldn't tell me how they've designed it." Videl sighed then noticed Mini Moon. I forgot she was there when Videl arrived.
"Who are you? I don't remember meeting you before." She looked at Mini Moon curiously then the same at Pluto. Mini Moon smiled and shook her hand while looking to me.
"I'm Sailor Mini Moon, people mostly call me Rini. Nice to meet you Videl." She said politely, Videl shook her hand then let go.
"What's with the uniform?" she asked. Mini Moon looked to me for help not sure on how to answer; I was at a loss myself.
"It something that goes with what I am. It's hard to explain, especially in such short time." She ended up telling her. I heard some not to far off and it ended up being one of the officials. All the fighters gathered around them waiting for the eliminations to begin.
"Alright gentleman," he then noticed the only few girls in the area. "And ladies. This year since they're so many fighters' we decided to have an elimination round. "A group of workers brought out big machine that resembled a punching bag. They started working in some codes that made it turn on. I wonder if Goten and Gabby did the same. "Please if you will wait a little in straight line we could do this fast and easy." We all did as we were told; Mini Moon was in front of me and behind me was Krillin then Android 18. I heard the door open not a while later, and it was some paparazzi with Mr. Satan. What was he here for? I groaned in my mind.
"Before we can allow you to begin, Mr. Satan will throw the first punch to the machine. Then we will base off your score to enter the tournament." Explained the official. Mr. Satan stepped carefully to the machine. He threw back his arm the tiniest bit and released his punch. The numbers on the tiny screen moved really fast then showed his score. It ended up being a 138, this should be easy.
"Ha try and beat that!" he said showing off. His followers cheered as he exited the area and slowly one by one we moved to the front of the line. We were decently far back. I heard Mini Moon sigh.
"At this rate we won't get to see Grandma Gabriella, and Great Uncle Goten fight." She crossed her arms pouting.
"I know I wish it would hurry up! I especially wanna see those three fight." Krillin said agreeing. "I wonder out of the three who are the final two? Trunks and Gabby seem a good fit."
"I don't know Krillin. Goten is really strong too, but I guess your right he won't go Super though, since I asked him not too. Oh and Mini Moon please don't go Super either please." I begged my great niece. She whined once more.
"Oh why Gohan? It won't be that much fun! What if I have to fight Goku? Or Vegeta?"
"He'll go easy on you I have a feeling Rini. As for Vegeta good luck." I said, she sighed once again.
"Fine, only for you Uncle Gohan, if it was for anyone else I would've said no." she continued to pout. Krillin laughed behind me not saying anything, we were finally half way up the line when the announcement aired all over the island. 'We are starting the Junior Division, everyone that is watching please take your seats. The first round is about to begin shortly.' I groaned out of frustration along with Rini.
"Can you hurry up!" we both shouted. The officials were able to see us but they had to crane their necks. I heard them, barely.
"We have some difficulties with the machine it'll only be a moment." he told us going back to work. I heard Krillin from behind me.
"Dang can you two be anymore related?" he laughed. We rolled our eyes, and continue to yell at the same time.
"We can't help it!" I looked to Rini and we just started laughing. I could've sworn I heard Android 18 snicker. Finally it got to our group, Videl was the first of them getting a higher score then her dad being a 150. I knew she could be better than him. As she finished she came back over to wait with me.
"Good job up there." I told her.
"Thanks, I've also been practicing some on a certain… thing you taught me. My dad is going to be speechless when he sees me fight!" she explained getting excited.
"What move is she talking about Sayaman?" Krillin nudged me slyly.
"Not what you're thinking Krillin!" I yelled at him while keeping my cool. Videl laughed as we moved a couple of paces. Picollo was next he still seemed really tense, he looked at the machine briefly, lightly tapped it with his hand and his score came out 500. He wasn't even trying. I thought. The officials were shocked watching him leave to the waiting area. Next was dad, he smirked as he prepared himself. Like Mr. Satan he drew back his fist but barely put any power into it. But he didn't show off. His score ended up being a 700. Videl was speechless as she saw dad casually walking over to Picollo. Vegeta was next, he seemed really mad about something. What was he mad for?
"Is he okay? He looks like he's about to do something really stupid…" Rini said concerned for her grandfather. Vegeta raised his hand flat, not forming a fist. Within in a second a beam of yellow and red light illuminated from his palm and destroyed the machine into bits. Rini and I were shocked and angered with Vegeta. How could he do such a stupid thing in front of so many people?
"It's safe to say I'm in the tournament." He said walking away. Rini and I sighed at Vegeta's current moment of stupidity.
"Now we're never going to see Goten and Gabriella fight!" Rini complained. I looked to Videl, she was still looking to the direction my father, Picollo, and Vegeta had walked off.
"How can they act so casual? That guy blew up the machine with his hand!" she exclaimed pointing to Vegeta.
"That's normal Vegeta behavior Videl, you'll get used to it." I told her, hoping to calm her.
"Normal? How many people do you know who can do that? Huh? Anyone else I should know about?" she was getting angry not knowing the truth. I don't blame her I get the same way after a while. I sighed looking to Rini for help. She took the hint thankfully.
"I can Videl, I've been able to for years, my mom is also the same way along with my grandparent's." she smirked looking to me. She said it all.
"Are you guys even from this planet?" she whispered to herself but I still heard it. I sighed wishing I can just tell her everything right her right now. But there are just too many people. Rini heard my frustration by putting her hand on my shoulder. She gave me a small smile consoling me. She would know how I would feel, for now the only person that does. It took at least twenty minutes for them to get a new punching machine. Then another ten trying to set it up. I was listening to see if Goten, Gabriella, or Trunks have fought yet. Neither of them has. Rini was becoming very impatient by the time Sailor Pluto had her turn, I was surprised how high it was. It was 490. Rini told me she wasn't even trying like Picollo. Pluto walked by but stopped momentarily when she reached us.
"I'll be with Vegeta and Goku, Rini" Rini nodded as she turned to leave. Finally it was her turn, as she went up I heard the few bystanders that stayed behind to watch. They whistled as she walked up to the machine, all the while I wanted to punch them. Krillin noticed, lightly holding the back of my shirt. She stepped up, gave all the men her cutest smile, raised her fist and lightly punched the bag. With her Sayin and Sailor abilities combined she wouldn't have to try much. The machine read 630. I was smiling from ear to ear as Rini walked by me.
"Good luck Great Sayaman." She winked as she walked off to find Sailor Pluto. Videl still had the look of shock as she watched Rini walk off. All the men who had eyed her now had the look of shock as well I was holding back my snicker as I took my turn. I barely touched the bag but my score was very high anyway. It was around 800. I walked back surprised at myself not looking at Videl. I walked passed her since she couldn't move. Sorry Videl I wish I can tell you everything.
Gabriella POV
When will it be our turn already? I was still with Goten and Trunks and about six fighters have gone. I was watching Trunks and Goten mock fighting when finally I heard my name being called. I jumped up running to the front.
"Gabriella Son?" the official repeated. I ran up too him with Trunks and Goten flanking behind me.
"Finally one of us get's to fight."Trunks muttered. I ignored him anxious to see my competitor.
"Your competitor is Avery Lyles. Good luck to the both of you." He told us. Avery stepped up standing over me. He was taller than me, but not stronger. He looked to be almost 10 years old. He was decently built. He had light brown hair and blue eyes.
"Aw come on I have to fight this little girl?" he whined like a spoiled brat to the official. "I want a redraw!" he complained looking me over. Trunks stood up for me, I was shocked that he did.
"Hey you better watch it she can beat you with one punch." I blushed a little.
"Yeah well we'll see about that!" Avery said as he walked into me.
"Don't worry twiny you'll be fine!" Goten encouraged me. I smiled hugging him and walked off. Avery took the lead in front of me. The announcer stopped us, mostly me, as Avery was still taking the lead.
"Hey just wondering what is your father's name?" he asked. Does he know my daddy is Goku?
"His name is Goku; my momma is Chi-Chi." I told him. He smiled brightly at me as I walked on to the arena.
"Ladies and Gentleman, in this round we have the strong and bright Avery Lyles competing today, but also a very special young lady! She is the daughter next to one of the most amazing fighters and not saying he can beat Mr. Satan, are the one and only Goku! He has fought in tournaments before and was champion himself! Please all welcome the beautiful Gabriella Son!" he praised me as the audience cheered for me, Avery was a few good feet away from me. The announcer stood in the middle and gave the okay to start fighting.
"You ready to lose little girly?" he mockingly asked, I wasn't afraid. I smirked, not showing any fear.
"Not at all." He started charging after me. He threw the first punch as I dodged it. He continued this for a while but backed eventually off. He charged after me again but this time I hung onto his clenched fist. I was having fun with this jerk face kid. I only threw him halfway across the arena, and ran over back to get to him again. I grabbed his arm as if it weighed nothing and flung him out of the arena. The crowd cheered as I did realizing I had won. It was too easy of a victory for me. The announcer rushed over to me, he grabbed my hand and raised it high in the air.
"And the winner for knocking her opponent out of the ring is Gabriella son!" the crowd cheered once more as I walked out the ring. When I looked behind me I noticed Avery was flung into the wall. I guess I accidently used too much of my strength on him. Opps. I thought as I walked back to the waiting area. Goten was happy about my easy victory but Trunks looked as if he didn't care. I don't either. I was more anxious for the final three. It took forever just to get to the final four. It was just me Goten Trunks and some older boy around 13 years old. It was Goten's turn to go this time. Goten's opponents' name was Odasa, he reminded me of Avery but he was even more of a jerk then he was. Goten and Odasa walked off with the announcer and I went up for a closer view. Odasa took the lead onto the arena by pushing Goten out of the way.
They each bowed to each other before they officially started to fight. Like Avery, Odasa charged after Goten at full speed with his fist ready. He only faked to hit him. I couldn't hear what they were saying but it looked like Odasa was getting mad about whatever Goten had said to him. Odasa actually tried hitting him this time. Goten caught his fist and then with his free hand punched Odasa in the stomach. Odasa reclined back and landed on the ground. He was starting to get angry flying every punch and every kick to Goten's face. Goten as fast as he was blocked every move. Goten must of started to get bored since he kicked Odasa out of the ring right in the face, he didn't hit the wall but he was knocked unconscious.
"And the winner for this round is Goten!" the announcer cheered. Officials had to get a stretcher for Odasa; they put him on it and rushed to the tournaments hospital. Goten rushed back over to us. I hugged him while congratulating him. Now it's the final three! The entire fighter's that were lost went to go find their families while we stayed behind. I was getting very excited and very nervous. Why do I have a feeling I will be fighting Trunks?
"Now as you three know you're in the Semi Finals. So good job too all of you!" he congratulated all of. Trunks was still giving me the same look he was when the tournament started. "The first part will be against Trunks Briefs and..." he looked between me and Goten deciding on which one to pick. His eyes landed on me. "And you Gabriella Son." He smiled at the both of us. I was looking to Trunks now trying to hold back my worry. What if he goes Super Sayin on me? I won't stand a chance if he does. The official left to get the announcer. Before he did I asked Trunks,
"You're not going to go Super Sayin on me are you?"
"Maybe." He smirked, it reminded me of his father of how cocky he can get and especially right now since he had bad intentions behind it. I wanted to slap it off of his face.
"Oh come one Trunks it won't be fair." Goten complained with me. "I would do the same for her! Please Trunks at least for me." He begged at the end.
"Fine." He said almost getting angry. The announcer came in this time; Goten gave me one last hug for luck as I left the waiting room. He stayed behind the entrance of the waiting room so he can get a better view of our match. Trunks and I walked side by side not saying anything to the other. We stepped on to the arena as the announcer gave us our introductions.
"Now we are in the Semi- Finals! Our first competitor is Trunks Briefs, only at the age of seven he has managed to beat all of his rounds. He spends most of his time training with his dad but will it be enough to beat his opponent?" the crowd cheered, he continued. "Our next Semi-Champ is the beautiful Gabriella Son. She is only Six years old along with her twin brother who is also competing. Don't let her age fool you but she is stronger then she looks! Will she be strong enough to beat Trunks?" the crowd cheered again as he gave us the okay to fight.
"Are you ready Gabby?" he asked.
"Ready whenever you are Trunks." I smirked. He got into his fighting stance as I did the same. Both of us charged after the other at full speed, only now I realized we were only warming up. I hope I win so I can fight Goten in the finals. He was using minimal strength along with me. We started flying up in the air now. Trunks somehow managed to get me the stomach but I rebounded with a kick of my own to his head. He was almost flung to the ground but he managed to stop himself in time. I wonder if I can use energy blasts? Gohan didn't say anything against it… before I had time to finish my thought Trunks had flown his ki. I barely dodged it in time. I responded with one of my own. I raised my palm, aimed for Trunks and we were back on the ground. I flew back toward him and kicked him right in the face. He was knocked out but only for a few seconds. He got back up.
"Tired of the warm up?" he asked.
"You bet, now let's really start this." We both raised our energies more, but when Trunks had raised his I noticed he can turn super any moment… he wouldn't go Super Sayin on me knowing I can't right? He took the air again as I stayed below. What am I going to do now? I charged after him without planning my next move, I aimed a punch to his face but he caught my hand. Without blinking he twisted my arm behind my back to an almost breaking point. I didn't scream from the pain all though I wanted too.
"We can end this now you know." Trunks said in my ear. "Less humiliation."
"Not a chance." I said trying to get out of his hold. I let out a little whimper from the pain.
"Fine then." He released me by throwing me back to the ground. I landed on the arena but almost to the point of disqualification. I couldn't get up and Trunks landed right in front of me. I tried to move but it felt almost impossible with the way arm felt.
"I thought you said you trained." Trunks criticized me. I was breathing very heavily at this point, all the late training sessions with Gohan are finally catching up to me and not in a good way…
"I did you jerk." I said getting angry, I had hardly any energy left but I raised it as high as I can get it. I got back into a fighting stance as Trunks did the same. I prepared my attack, "KAMEHAMEHAA!" I screamed at him, Trunks at first was taken aback but he recoiled with one of his own. He raised his hand and bright yellow-reddish light illuminated from his hand. Our waves were very strong that I knew for sure. Sorry I had to release a ki blast Gohan but Trunks is kicking my butt at this point. I pulled more power into mine, but the more I did the more energy I lost. I guess I have over trained myself dang Gohan as always was right. Trunks was pulling more energy to his blast at this point, and I felt myself slipping off the arena. I never realized I was still by where I had landed. Gosh that was stupid starting a Kameawave right at the edge of the arena, way to go Gabriella, way to go. With one finally pull Trunks had managed to make me fall out of the ring. I landed on my back too tired to get up at the moment. Trunks jumped out of the arena and helped me back up. I was never expecting to get this kind of gesture from him.
"You did great Gabriella." He said holding out his hand. "Maybe we can have our own fight sometime one where there's not so many people." He suggested I nodded agreeing.
"It's a rematch then." I smiled as we walked back to the waiting room. Most of the adults were there now since it was almost there turn to fight. How much did daddy see? I saw Gohan and ran up to him, then wishing I hadn't since my legs screamed and arm in pain.
"You did great sissy!" he picked me up; I laid my head on his shoulder never realizing I was this tired. I can't believe I over trained myself I bet if I hadn't I would be in the finals with Goten, I thought bitterly.
"Did you all watch?" he nodded. "Yeah you should've seen the look on dad's face!" he laughed; I joined but yet again regretted it. When did Trunks get me in my ribs? How many injuries do I have? Gohan put me back down as daddy came up to me.
"That was incredible Gabby!" daddy said I smiled. He ruffled my hair. "I don't remember being that strong at your age." Daddy praised me. I blushed as he did, but it made me feel good like I had accomplished something. I guess I'm more like my daddy then I thought. Maybe Gohan was right like always, even though I'll never admit it. Goten came up to me now and lightly hugged me. I was glad he did, everything was screaming at me now.
"Are you okay?" he worried. "Trunks didn't go easy on you it looked like." He said. Actually he went way too easy on me he still has decent strength left to fight you. I didn't say what I wanted to so I said this.
"He was okay." I told him to calm him. It seemed to work, the officials grabbed Trunks and Goten to the arena for the semi finals. Goten you better beat Trunks for me if not I'm gonna kick your butt later. I thought as I watched my twin go for the win.
