Day Two

A day passed and the Arena was Repaired. The stands were filled with people once again. All the fighters who made it into the quarter finals were waiting to be called for their match. The announcer called "Tao and Launch to the Arena"

After a minute they walked onstage. The Announcer then went about hyping the fight up saying launch was trained by Roshi, Tao was introduced as the Mercenary Tao trained by Shen who was his brother and that the fight would be a good one. Blonde Launch Eyed Tao trying to find weakness, but found none, she proclaimed "I'm not going down easy old man." Tao snickered at the comment but said nothing. When the fight started Tao charged forward faster than launch could see and knocked her out of the arena on the grass with a single precision strike. Having declared Tao the winner, said winner walked off, and Launch woke up and was helped to the rest of the contestant area, profanities where heard shouted even as she was deep in the building. The announcer hyped up the last quarter final fight between Gohan and Tien as they walked to the stage.

The three eyed Tien stood confidently across from Gohan eyeing his older opponent with Gohan doing the same. Then Announcer called a start to the fight.

Tien and Gohan walked in circles awaiting for the other to make the first move. Tien charged forward while Gohan waited to parry the attack, instead he he heard a Sound to the side, hearing Tien approach from the side, he quickly attacked sending the teen soaring out of bounds to land on the grass. But to his astonishment Tien was hovering just above the ground. After recollecting himself from his surprise, Gohan praised the teen "So I see you've mastered Shen's flying technique, impressive." Tien said nothing, instead Tien was focused on figuring out a way to win against the clearly stronger and faster opponent. Then a small smirk crossed his face getting an idea, he flew and landed across from Gohan, then let his arms hang down from his sides, clenching his fists, he grit his teeth in concentration and two extra arms grew out of his back. Gohan eyes widened "what is..?", but before he finished Tien took advantage of this and attacked bolting forward and unleashing a volley of punches with all his four arms all at a single point, the left side, where a kidney is located. With a pained Grunt Gohan realised his mistake of lingering on the new development instead of reacting and jumped away from the barrage, firing a simple ki blast at Tien, causing the teen to have his vision blocked by the dust created by the blast. Gohan waited for the teen to come flying out, but instead the wind slowly revealed that no one was there. Looking up he saw the teen with a hand raised sending down a thin ki beam wordlessly. Gohan positioned himself, and waited with his hands raised and caught the blast, before he threw it to harmlessly dissipate in the air. Then Shocking Tien he lept up and grabbed Tien before throwing the teen down along with a swift kick and a Ki blast. Tien landed with a thump and a small explosion, he lay there unmoving, though his chest was raising and falling at a steady rate. The announcer counted down ten seconds with Gohan pronounced the winner.

Then the semi final matches began with Kakarott vs Shen. The announcer hyped up the battle as per usual. Shen eyed Kakarott down maliciously, then the fight was called to start. Kakarott sent a weak punch to Shen's throat causing the master to gag and reach for his throat but before he could even do so another attack this time coming from his tail sent the old man directly to the ground, the saiyan disappeared and appeared above him sending a kick that sent Shen straight into the dirt. Shen tried to stop in mid air but was caught by surprise as the tailed monster sent a kick downwards, and with him already close to the ground, he landed with a thud then bounced, before finally crashing for the second time remaining on the ground.

After the announcer called out of bounds, Kakarott looked annoyed more than anything and stated aloud to everyone, "This is too easy, for the Final have every competitor on the arena, that wishes to fight me, only then will I actually have a challenge in this joke of a contest, other wise I might as well leave." It was at this point that Shen was carried off by the stretcher team to the hospital.

The announcer didn't know what to do never before had a competitor want to fight more than one person, he didn't even know if it was even in the rules. As Kakarott walked off stage and waited the announcer and several officials were gathering around each other, with all the officials combing several copies of the rule book looking to find if there were any rules against having a battle royal and whether contestants that were knocked out in previous rounds could rejoin.

After an hour of deliberation it was decided that beaten contestants could not rejoin and there were no allowances for any one else except two contestants, if anyone else joined the fight, the fight would be disqualified at that moment, offenders would be removed, the fight can still start again as long as there are no injuries to either party and both feel like they can fight. If either party would not fight then the final battle will be re scheduled after their wounds are fully healed.

One of the officials went to Kakarott to tell him the bad news. At the news he complained "What, then just change the stupid rules, I want a challenge not a cake walk."

The official sighed "unfortunately sir, the rules cannot be changed, they are as they are. If you drop out you forfeit your place in the final and the prize money."

Kakarott got up sharply and walked to the other contestants, surprising the official. In the Contestant area was a short bald nose-less boy in an orange gi and a symbol stitched onto the front left side of the gi the same as Launch only to fit him, he was standing next to Roshi and a blue haired girl who wore the same Orange Gi as Launch.

He heard speaking "I can see now why I was so soundly beaten by that Tien, he went toe to toe with Gohan . And he as you say is only slightly weaker than you." Roshi turned to the bald kid "Krillin, don't look down on yourself that you are weak. Because your not, but now you have learnt a valuable lesson, that there will always be someone stronger than your self, so you must keep pushing to improve your skills and strength."

Krillin sighing " yeah I suppose"

Kakarott announced himself "Well if isn't Roshi, last time I saw you, I beat you and your friends into a bloody pulp. Care to join into the fray after I win the final, and get some revenge?"

Roshi "Mind if I bring all my friends students along with? And why only after the Final?"

Kakarott smirked "I like money, that's why after the final, then we can have a battle with everyone and maybe, just maybe your numbers might overwhelm me. But I have to warn you, I haven't rested on my larols?, lorals?, yes that's the word laurels, I've constantly been training, so brace yourselves for hells of fun. Get Gohan, Shen and Tao as well."

Roshi grimaced at the monsters confidence, though it was better than waiting for the next slaughter of a whole village and military detachment just to have attention to gain a fight with the strongest warriors.

Kakarott had left but Roshi was still confused, the child he thought as he remembered the news broadcast, he thought was a demon like Piccolo before him. But it puzzled him during their fight in the village that he was so interested in Gohan's mention of the tournament, it was almost as if the child did what he did for the sole purpose to get a challenging fight. It was weird that the child despite just having wiped out an entire village with no remorse just did it to attract attention of the strongest warriors, then the moment an easier way to find a fight was found, through the tournament, he accepted it, he even followed the rules of no killing. Now the child was offering a free for all battle with all their students and all masters against him. It truly was messing with his mind.
