The Tournament

Chichi and Yamcha easily found all dragonballs using the Dragonradar and learnt that the Infamous red ribbon army was searching for them as well, but with their strength they easily stole the remaining dragonballs from them at their headquarters using stealth as they feared the insurmountable amount of fire power would kill them if they tried taking the organisation out. They then wished for the people killed by Kakarott back to life. They then returned to training their bodies against trees and rocks.

After a year of hard training at altitude for the Human Masters and Regular Hard training for Kakarott to defeat Frieza. Kakarott remembered about the Tournament and that it was only a week away.

He was thinking to himself "this planets weather is unnatural for the last few years one a few years ago and one almost a year ago, the sky's all around the planet just suddenly fill with black clouds for just a moment. I hope it's not extreme weather events associated with them destroying the balance of the planet. I really am bored if I am talking to myself about the weather. Anyway the Tournament will start a week from now, so I better find out more info on it."

He was near his garage and the pod made a weird sound

PI-PIP

Then a strange Robotic voice in a Familiar alien language that was not Galactic Common (the language that he could both read and write).

Kakarott's eyes widened as he recognised the language, it was Saiyanji, the native saiyan language.

He understood the message as "Infiltrator Kakarott, you have failed in your mission to eliminate the population of this planet. However as your power has surpassed the minimum threshold power of 1000 units. King Vegeta will honour you to join his army on Planet Vegeta as you have proved your worth Low Class Warrior Kakarott. This Pod will now commence activating space travel components and engines ."

He thought about the new development "So King Vegeta would let me join the army since I have the right power amount, oh well too bad he's dead along with everyone else. But what bullshit is this about purging? My father Bardock clearly wanted me to just survive, nothing about purging, maybe it's just some computer thing that assumes that because it's owner changed to a child it automatically assumed that it was a purge mission. I do remember my father saying something a bout stealing a pod, he probably just changed the owner to me. Interesting that the ship was designed to not take off until a certain level of power was reached, oh well, after the Tournament I might take a closer look at my ship."

He flew to East City and when he walked in he saw posters everywhere, still not being able to read the Language, he asked a food stall owner, "Hey, Do you know any information on the Tournament starting next week on Papaya Island?" The stall owner answered, "Well, Tickets to watch cost sixty zeni which can be Bought online or at the venue." Kakarott asked "If I wanted to compete how do I enter?"

"Well, compeditors line up in a different line and enter their name into a form, I don't know how they go about determining the ones that go through to the quarter finals but

I Suppose they will tell you when you enter. The Arena is in the centre of the Island, you can't miss it."satisfied Kakarott turned and walked out of the city, then when out of sight Flew back to where his portable house currently was set up.

A week later in the morning Kakarott flew to Papaya Island. As he flew he saw a large arena with a large square fighting area with stands all around and Buildings connected to the Arena, stalls selling food and drink were just out side the set of buildings, the stalls were on each side of a road that led all the way to a port. Kakarott flew down and asked a person "Where are the Contestants to Sign up? I'm gonna join and beat them all."

The person smiled "well young man it is right over there." Pointing in a direction of a short line of people. He waited in line till he was able to sign up. The person at the contestant registration asked "Well hello there aren't you too young?"

Kakarott Laughed "Doesn't matter I'm probably gonna wipe the floor with all the contestants."

The female registration clerk smiled "Well you've got spunk kid, now you have to sign this form that removes any right for you to sue us for any harm that comes to you, and Write down your name so it can be called. " she handed him five pieces of paper with writing in them, he flicked through till he saw a Line on the last page and wrote in an alien Language his name. The woman looked at the strange symbols, "I've never seen a language like that before, I see no point in getting you to write your name down, but since you are so fluent in speaking ours, could you give me your name?"

Kakarott smirked "The Names Kakarott, remember it, it might ring a bell, as the saying goes." The woman smiled and wrote what she heard,"Kakarot is that your name, Kakarot." He smiled "yep." She then pointed to the building behind her "I will give you a number that is liked to your name, you are to wait in that building where your name and numbe is called you will fight an opponent, at one of four locations. if you beat them then, you have to beat all remaining challengers that get called to fight you. Here's A map this has the layout of the area , this is preliminary area 1, 2, 3 and four remember one is north, two is south, 3 is west and 4 is east."

Kakarott "one on one?"

Smiling she answered "why yes dear."

Kakarott scoffed "too easy." Before walking off.

In the area were lots of fighters and from what he sensed they were pushovers compared to the first old man he met. Then after a few hours two old men walked in The first he met who was called Gohan, the Hawaiian shirt wearing man Roshi, with them were four young people, a blue haired young woman wearing an Orange Gi ,a bald child slightly shorter than him also wearing an Orange Gi , a dark haired girl around his age wearing a type of Armour that looked like a blue metal bikini with a pink flexible suit and bladed blue helmet, and a Young man with Long hair wearing an orange, yellow and green patched up Bandit like clothing. All of them could pose a challenge if everyone and the two old men attacked him as one, they just might get him to exercise his muscles and have some fun, but they were not a threat, he could easily overpower them all, even though from what he sensed the old men had grown in strength. Then through the door came two more old men, Shen and Tao, with them were two students, a bald young man with three eyes, and a perpetually hovering pale child. From sensing all the powers together he grew excited, now he might actually have a fight on his hands if all of them attacked. Though from what he learnt he'll be fighting one on one. If he wanted a proper fight he'll have to fight them all after the tournament as a group.

He stayed away from the other groups and waited for his name and number to be called, then after a while an announcement was made " Contestants of the world Martial Arts tournament, your name and number will be called to a Preliminary area. one is located north, two is south, 3 is west and 4 is east, each preliminary area is in two sections a on the right and B on the left. The rules are simple no weapons are allowed, no killing, to win either make the person surrender, push them out of bounds or knock them out, have good clean fights people." Then names and numbers were called out to go to various preliminary areas. Finally Kakarott's name was called "Number 197, go to preliminary area 1B, Kakarot number 197, go to preliminary area 1B."

Kakarott then walked north and came across two buildings turning left he went to the left building. Inside was an official and inside was the dark haired girl in armour that was with Gohan and Roshi. The Girl narrowed her eyes at him in hate" How could you kill so many peopel?" "Kakarott laughed "Coz I wanted a fight, if I knew about these tournaments then I wouldn't have killed anyone. Funny thing is I had more fun fighting those old farts than killing all those weak shits, but it had the desired result."

She narrowed her eyes "I'm going to make you pay."

The Official then stated "Chichi, contestant 197, have a clean fight starting now.

Kakarott vanished before her eyes then she felt a clamp on her throat, A gruff "No, Your not."was heard as he then drop kicked her out of bounds through several walls, leaving her knocked out cold. She was then stretchered by Tournament medics and brought to the in house hospital.

Several more challengers were called and easily knocked out of the ring with a tap. Then the Floating pale Child that arrived with Shen and Tao entered the building. The official proclaimed "Kakarot , contestant 202 have a good fight." Chaotsu then asked a question "What's 88 times 8?" Kakarott swiftly replied "This" before kicking the child through several walls and out of the Complex with the child landing and toppling ends over end stopping less than a Kilometre away. Turning to the official "Don't worry he's fine." After the boy was checked out to only be knocked out the preliminaries continued after he too was stretchered and delivered to the hospital by medics.

The rest of the competitors were a joke defeated with a tap of a finger.

Then it was time for the quarter finals , the eight standing compeditors now had to draw lots to see who they will fight. Kakarott would fight Yamcha, Roshi vs Shen, Tao vs Launch, Tien vs Gohan.

Kakarott was called up first, the bandit although strong for human standards was no threat, in fact, the only fight that would pose.a threat would be if they all attacked at once. The Main Arena Had a large square raised fighting area made of white stone, around was grass. The entire area had stands that was filled with people to watch the fight.

The Announcer then hyped up the fight" These two new comers have gone through the preliminaries we Have Kakarott a young Fighter showing lots of potential Quickly defeated all contenders with a single strike sending a couple through multiple walls, On the Other Hand We have Yamcha who has potential and easily defeated all the contenders, back stage he told me he was trained by none other than Master Gohan, one of the few students trained by none other than the Legendary Master Roshi. So prepare your self people this is a fight between a young fighter and a trained one, who will win?" So as soon as the fight started Kakarott punched the bandit out of bounds, hitting the grass around the fighting area, knocked out. The announcer yelled "Out Kakarott wins." As Kakarott walked off the announcer whispered in his ear "could you make the next fight last longer?" Kakarott simply continued on walking ignoring the man as the medics stretchered Yamcha bringing him to the hospital.

Roshi and Shen were called out next. Shen "I can't believe we are going through beating each other up and making us weaker at the end when Kakarott does attack, when we could have just ambushed him, I'm not going on with this Charade. " Roshi then smirked "That is why I Brought lots of sensu beans, he will think we are weakened then, we eat these beans and become restored after the Tournament, or whenever he decides to attack. Ready to fight at full strength." Shen grumbled.

The announcer "Here we have the Legendary master Roshi and we have The Legendary master Shen, prepare your selves for the match between two legendary masters." When the fight started Shen attacked first throwing the first punch, Roshi blocked and parried the strike before attacking himself, kicking at Shen's kidney, but his old rival grabbed it stopping it and thew the leg up causing Roshi to land on his back. Before Shen could attack him he flipped up on to his feet. Then both launched at each other punching, kicking , blocking, parrying, neither could land a hit on each other they were dead even in skill and strength. They kept at it attacking each other until Shen flew up, drew his hands in front of him forming a circle "Kikoho" the Blast of air shot downwards at Roshi, who fired a Kame hame ha, Shen dodged, but the blast pressed forward, then it exploded The entire area where Roshi had stood, Roshi was lying in the centre of a strangely Square shaped hole . Seeing that he wasn't on any arena tiles moving the announcer "Ring out. The legendary Master Shen Wins." Roshi didn't move a muscle but the moment the announcer called ring out he instantly stood up like nothing had happened. Shen the moment he won he ignored his rival and walked off the stage. The announcer "What an astounding show of strength. The Next Quarterfinal match will occur tomorrow when the Arena is fixed. Quarter final Contestants will be given a room, the Audience will be given rooms at a reduced price."

The Audience started leaving the stands , the competitors soon followed with officials handing them a card to their room. They all left to stay at one of the hotels. The room assigned to Kakarott was far below the five star standards he was used to, the bed was a single for starters, the mattress had no spring, there was no en suite toilet & shower/ bath connected. There was only a shower but no toilet. The toilet it seemed was shared between the whole floor of six rooms. Having been insulted by the quality of the room, he walked out and flew to where his capsule house was set up, sleeping there for the night.
