Chapter twenty five- Minus the nosebleed

Gohan stared at the man in disbelief; he couldn't possibly kill his father. Not in this time anyway. He seemed so defenceless, weak and most of all cute to destroy. He held no anger for him but then what about his younger brother? He was alive and it was his younger brother in his own world. Gohan shuddered under the cold gaze as the creature in front of him laughed.

"Kill my dad" Gohan asked as the hooded human ascended closer to the child with a smile on his face. "But what about me and Goten?"

"You won't be born in this universe and because you won't be born it means that you would have never threatened my master, it means that he would be saved yet so many people would be lost. The universe will fall into peril as it will be over ruled by evil beings and eventually it will collapse as everyone in it falls into the void therefore suffering an eternal hell for there not being a good balance between good and evil."

The figure stepped further back, slowly he moved his head in the opposite direction before releasing a cold hearted smile upon the saiyan hybrid. "But he's my dad"

"And Goten is your brother, you have until the end of the tournament" The figure hissed as he walked away from the hybrid child. From below him, he saw Vegeta begin to stir, his eyes opened wide as the full blooded saiyan stood up.

"Where is he?" He angrily growled whilst Gohan walked away from him. "What happened brat?"

Gohan quickly turned to face him; a neutral look was upon his face. "Nothing, I don't know what you're on about Vegeta..."

He felt Vegeta's hands grasp onto his neck as he lifted the boy above the ground. "Don't play dumb with me brat..." His other hand collided with Gohans stomach as the boy kicked the elder saiyan of him.

"I don't know what you're on about, you just collapsed on the floor...I think you need to eat something again..."

"Damn it brat, you are making it seem as though I'm going crazy..."

"Perhaps..." The half-breed said as he turned his body around and walked away from his adoptive father. He walked towards the younger version of his dad where he released a cold smirk. "Make sure you get through"

"Yeah you to Kakarot" Goku replied innocently as master Roshi shot Gohan a dirty look. Gohan ignored it as Vegeta moved over to them. The two saiyan's then re entered the fighting hall, followed by Chun/Roshi and Goku. Gohan climbed onto a stage where a guy with a bigger build then him but still a similar height climbed onto the stage. Gohan bowed gently as the man went straight into attack, Gohan dodged every single one of the potential blows and moved to the left of the man unnoticed.

"I'm over here" Gohan laughed as the man turned around and ran towards him, gently he lifted one finger as he pushed the man back and into the wall. "What a surprise, I won that one..."

(After the first round)

The final sixteen fighters gathered in the inside of a large waiting room, from there they could hear the sound of the loud members of the crowd, each anxious for the real fighting to begin. Chun, Goku, Krillon and Yamcha all stood in a group together whilst Vegeta and Gohan sat down on the floor. Gohan was sitting in a meditative pose whilst Vegeta kept looking around at his surroundings.

The Prince watched as a man with honey blond hair walked into the room, he was wearing a blue suit with a large pair of sunglasses on his face. "Hello, can you hear me in the back, participants please come forward."

The groups of the remaining participants stood up and walked forwards towards the man. It was Goku's group which reached the destination first whilst Gohan and Vegeta stood towards the back of the small crowd.

"Hey, nice suit." Goku said as he approached the man.

"Yeah it's good isn't it, I had it customer made. Nice to see the younger generation knowing what's fashionable and what's not" The commentator said as he moved his body over to a small piece of paper stuck onto the wall. He moved his hand into his pocket and gracefully pulled out a small stick where he moved it over to the paper. "Fighters will be paired off in the same fashion in the elimination round. When your name is said, step forward and draw a number from the box. First it's Jackie Chun"

"Yeah yeah," the old man said as he slowly walked forwards, He dug his hand into a small orange box. "Looks like my number is three."

"Then you're in the second match. Next up is Yamcha"

From behind Gohan and Vegeta, they heard Tien mumble to his friend as Yamcha steadily approached the box. From the corner of Gohan's eyes, he watched as Chiaotzu lifted his finger and changed the outcome of the results for Yamcha. Eventually everyone except Goku claimed a number.

"Looks like your number sixteen Goku" The commentator said whilst Goku had a look of disbelief upon his face. The full saiyan walked up to the box and stuck his hand in it, much to the disbelief of the others., he then pulled it back and stared down at the number.

"You're right, I am number sixteen."

"..."

"Idiot" Tien mumbled under his breath. Chiaotzu looked up towards him.

"What's wrong with wanting to pick your own number?"

"Nothing..."

(Twenty minutes later)

The sound of the commentator filled the stadium; eagerly waiting in the waiting room was the final twelve. Goku, Vegeta and Gohan were digging in to a large pile of food whilst some of the final Sixteen watched.

"Now the line up for the matches is, drum roll please...

Yamcha and Tien

Jackie Chun and Wolf man

Mizu Ao and Ranfan

Kandrea and King Chappa

Vegeta and Pamput

Kakarot and Chiaotzu

Krillon and Jamico

Iikagen Gai and Goku

And starting off for us is Yamcha and Tien"

They heard the sound of the drums and Yamcha and Tien disappeared through the small door, walking into the crowds view. Both competitors eyed each other up as they moved into the stances, the commentator continued to introduce them as they both released a short smile. The sound of the last drum beat meant the start of the fight and immediately Yamcha ran in for the attack. He leaped into the air whilst Tien let of a sinister giggle. Yamcha's foot collided with his face as he pushed his opponent of him. Now Tien went in for the attack as Yamcha dodged each and every one of the potential blows.

"This is pathetic" Vegeta arrogantly hissed towards the half breed. Gohan turned his head around to face him as he nodded. "We should show them what a real fight is..."

"What and make them believe that the planet will be ending..."

"Yes, then they can feel what real power feels like..."

"In ten or so years my father would be able to feel what real power felt like but yes, let's show them. It's not our universe."

Their eyes moved back to the direction of the fight, they watched as Yamcha moved into another stance before he yelled out "WOLF FANG FIST!". At the same time Tien yelled "SOLAR FLARE!"

A blinding light filled the stadium, Gohan felt Yamcha's energy begin to drop as eventually the light settled and Yamcha was lying across the stage unconscious. His body was in a position that was not natural and it appeared to have a limp look about it. He watched as his father and Krillon raced onto the stadium along with some paramedics Jackie Chun watched as Vegeta let of a small grin, he eventually walked towards the two saiyan's.

"So Master Roshi, why are you going under the name of Jackie Chun?" Gohan asked as he felt the elderly man move closer towards them. Roshi/Chun let of an unknowing look as he shrugged his shoulders. "I can sense that it's you..."

"If I answer that question you have to answer two of mine, one for him and one for you." The master said with a look of defeat upon his face. "First for Vegeta, What's so funny about Yamcha being in that state?"

"It's not about him; it's the way they are treating him. This brat been in this state countless times however most of them he has been worse off with a punctured lungs and we just leave him to recover whether he was injured."

"What kind of person are you?"

"I don't have to answer that, you said only one question for me.. Anyway, that box filled with chocolate looks lonely over there." The full blooded saiyan said as he forced his body up, a large smile was across his face as he walked towards the vending machine. Both Gohan and Roshi watched as he attempted to get the chocolate out.

"It's so I can see if my pupils have grown in strength, they could go easy on me knowing that I'm their master." Roshi stated as he heard the commotion from out the front. He heard his name get called out as the man stood up. "You're not from around here are you? Who in fact are you and why are you here?"

"I don't think it's wise to answer that but Roshi, I'm your greatest dream combined with your worst nightmare. I'm here to get my brothers back and I have to complete something first so I can get to them."

Roshi stepped back from the boy as he turned his body back around again. A surprised look was upon his face as Vegeta strolled back through the door and returned back to sitting next to Gohan. In his hand were eighteen chocolate bars. Chun/Roshi walked forwards to the entrance to the stadium. Already waiting on stage was Wolf man. His blue hair glistened lightly as the martial arts master went into a defensive posture.

(Twenty minutes later)

Roshi's match finished his match with a successful win due to Krillons bald head and the contestant forfeiting through happiness of being able to return back to a human once again. The next match was between Mizu Ao and Ranfan. From Ranfan's performance last time the world martial arts tournament was on, she appeared to grow a fan club of drooling men, each and everyone pleading with her to remove her clothing. Mizu Ao was a petite girl; she wore box shaped glasses and entered the stage with her head facing down to the ground. Her red hair shimmered under the suns rays and the girl let of a short but simple smile.

Gohan watched her carefully as she moved into a stance. There was something familiar about this girl; it was as though he had already sensed her Ki before. It was then when he remembered who Mizu Ao actually was, she was one of his mother's friends from his time. The same lady that taught him English just before Raditz came. Water Blue, such an ironic name for a girl who was calm but could easily become enraged. Both women engaged in hand to hand combat, neither seemed to be that successful. Ranfan pushed the other girl away before she looked around at the drooling men, she shrugged her shoulders as within the next twenty seconds she was in her underwear. Gohans jaw dropped at the sight, behind him he heard the prince chuckling.

"Careful Gohan, you almost have the same expression as Chun, minus the nose bleed." Gohan forced his body away; a red tinge crept up his face as he walked towards the Prince. A crafty smile emerged from his face as he looked down towards the child. "I won't tell the onna if you promise to fight me."

"YOU SLUT" Mizu Ao screamed as she dodged a pathetic example of a kick. "THERE ARE CHILDREN OUT THERE!"

"At least I have the body to pull it off..." Ranfan replied as she moved a strand of her blue hair out of her face. Her eyes searched over to the crowd as her male admirers were screaming at her to take it further. "Sorry boy's but I got myself a man..."

At that moment Mizu Ao decided to take advantage of the situation and launched her body towards Ranfan, throwing all her weight on top of the other girl's body. Both girls tumbled of the stage, Ranfans body slammed onto the grass first whilst Mizu Ao landed on top of her.

"TAKE IT OF GIRLS" Roshi/Chun screamed as more blood poured from his nose. The commentator stepped forwards as he looked down at the contestants.

"The...winner...of...that...round...is...Mizu...Ao" He stuttered as the blush on his own face swept up his cheeks. " ne...next...match...it's...King Chappa against the newbie Kandrea."

(After Chappa and Kandrea's match, (Kandrea won it))

Vegeta gracefully strolled onto the stage where he was attacked by Bulma's screaming however he still kept a straight face. Pamput then followed behind, the crowd screamed even louder whilst the Prince laughed. The dong was hit as the prince stood there, Pamput ran straight towards him and when he came into contact with Vegeta's skin, he was thrown straight out of the ring. The crowd stood there gobsmacked whilst the commentator announced that the Prince won that round.

"What a match, this next one is another great one. First up it's the one and only Chiaotzu up against the dark yet mysterious Kakarot." The commentator yelled as Chiaotzu entered the stage, Gohan stood up as he casually walked onto it. He was greeted by the sound of screaming teenage girls as his cheeks began to blush. "Looks like someone's not used to the attention from the ladies."

Behind them a large man swung his mallet onto the drums so the fighting could begin. Less than a second later, Chiaotzu was unconscious in the middle of the stage whilst Tien stood gobsmacked. His jaw began to drop as he watched the paramedics rush towards the little man to see if he was going to be okay.

"And the winner is Kakarot by knockout, someone help Chiaotzu"

"Move aside" Gohan said as he walked over to Chiaotzu. He bent down to the ground as he placed his hands above the unconscious body. "Now how does Dende do this, damn if only I gave a bit more attention."

"Let some professionals deal with him." On paramedic said whilst Gohan ignored them. He began to focus his Ki on the body, they watched as a purple light flew from his body to the small man and within three seconds Chiaotzu coughed as his eyes flickered open. "What did you do to him?"

"Helped him" Gohan replied as he stood up and left the ring. Chiaotzu stood up and followed the half breed out; a small smile was upon his childish face as he moved closer behind him. He quickly wrapped his body around Gohans legs before he stepped back once again with a huge smile upon his face.

"Thank you" The little man said before he returned back to his Tien. Gohan walked back towards Vegeta whilst Roshi watched them carefully. Krillon and Jamico entered the stage where they began their fight, Goku eagerly watched. The fight between them lasted for about half an hour, both fighters held a similar strength when Jamico was finally thrown out of the ring.

Then it was the final match between Iikagen Gai and Goku, the match its self only lasted for ten minutes as the young full blooded saiyan became victorious. Quickly the rain began to fall down as the commentator moved to the centre stage.

"Looks like the fights are going to continue tomorrow, good night all and be prepared for an early start."

Well alas that is it, I promise those that the next chapter shall be better, I'm looking forward to the main event but can't give it away...can I?

Well after a lot of thought, I have fully decided the pairing. I know many of you will very disappointed and I might lose all of my readers but I was in a hard situation. You see I never intended on kasha being Gohans pair, originally she was saved for a certain future guy ;) And I would like to stick to my original plan BUT there will be a tiny bit of romance between Gohan and Kasha. So guess what that means...yes...it's another Gohan and videl fanfiction. But thats going to happen when I end up getting him into high school.

OHHH and which one of my stories do you want me to udpate next, I have no clue which one to start writing the next chapter for :P

Thank you all for the reviews, I shall try better next time. I will re write these chapters when I'm feeling less stressed. (Middle of July)

For now please review
