Dragon Ball Z-Revolution
Chapter 1-Reunions
"Well Gohan, what do ya think?" Goku chuckled as Gohan stared at the huge crowd of people milling about. The boy could hardly believe that all of these people were here either to compete or just to watch the Budokai.
"Is this where we're gonna fight?"
Goku reached down and ruffled his son's spiky black hair, "You bet!"
Chichi stood next to Goku who put his arm around her. She was holding a bag that contained their fighting gi's and smiling proudly at her husband and son. As the boys went to sign up a familiar voice rang out.
"Oi! Goku-kun! Chichi!" They turned to see an auburn-haired woman waving at them as she headed their way.
"Debra!"
"It's good to see you two again!" Debra exclaimed as she gave them each an exuberant hug.
"It's good to see you too," Chichi said returning the hug. "How are you? And where is Tim and Jianu-chan?"
Debra laughed, "Tim is parking the rental car and Jianu is hiding behind me," Debra turned partway around and Chichi gasped in surprise.
"Debra! When did you have another kid?"
"Oh that's right! You haven't met her yet! Minna, this is Ana, she's two."
"Ossu!" piped the tiny girl, she had auburn-hair and blue-gray eyes just like her mother.
"She's adorable!" Chichi squealed.
"Does she know how ta fight yet?" Goku asked.
"Not yet, Goku-kun. She's just barely old enough, so I'll start training her soon."
Chichi smiled, "You're not the only one who's been expanding your family . . ." Reaching behind her husband Chichi gently pulled their son into view.
The boy smiled shyly before bowing, "Hajimemashite, Debra-san. Namae wa Son Gohan desu."
Debra smiled happily, "Hajimemashite, Gohan-kun. Are you fighting today too?"
"Hai."
"Gohan's real strong," Goku said proudly.
"Speaking of children who know how to fight . . ." Debra turned around again, "Jianu get out here and say hello. You remember Goku and Chichi don't you?"
"Hai." A little girl with strawberry-blond hair done up in pigtails, and blue-gray eyes stepped out from behind her mother and bowed. "Konnichiwa, minna-san."
"Hayai, Jianu-chan you've gotten a lot bigger since I last saw you," Goku told her.
"Uhn, I'm stronger too."
"You'd better get signed up," Chichi warned them, "It's getting close to the cut-off time."
As the two families signed up, Goku thought of something, "Say Debra, do you know if anyone else is coming?"
"Eto . . . Kuririn and Yamcha are coming so Bulma, Puar, Mutenroshi-sama and Oolong'll probably be coming too. I couldn't tell ya if Tien, Ranchi, and Chouzu are gonna be here, since none of us knows where they live . . . and here comes Tim." When he arrived, Debra handed Ana to him and once again greetings and introductions were made before Tim and Chichi left to find seats and the others went to change.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kiichigo paced across the room, "I don't like this, Bardock. Now both of our sons are on Chikyuu."
"I don't like it either, but we have no other choice! There is no one else we trust that could go without Frieza finding out." Bardock replied, his voice betraying his concern.
"And if he does, then both our sons and Chikyuu will be destroyed . . ." Kiichigo wrapped her arms around herself.
Bardock came up behind her and held his mate close, "And Vegeta-sei shortly after . . . but Vegeta-Ou believes that he needs to be told now. Chikyuu has come to Frieza's attention and if we want to succeed, Kakarott must know what is about to happen!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few minutes later, the four emerged from the changing rooms and headed towards the arena where the elimination rounds would take place. Goku and Gohan were both wearing orange gi's with a blue short-sleeve undershirt, belt, wristbands, and boots. Goku's had the "kame" kanji while Gohan's had the kanji for "Son". Debra and Jianu were wearing mint-green gi's with a lavender short-sleeve undershirt, belt, wristbands, and boots. Debra's gi also had the "kame" kanji and Jianu's had the kanji for "ji", the first kanji for her name. Jianu grabbed Gohan's hand and started dragging him across the courtyard, "Come on Gohan-kun! We gotta hurry!"
"How come?"
"`Cause the kid's Budokai starts before the adults!"
Goku and Debra watched as their children ran off. 'That is sooo cute!' Debra thought.
"Oi minna!" The two senshi turned to see their old friends: Kuririn, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, and Chouzu standing behind them.
"Hey guys!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Radditz looked out across the crowd trying to spot any of the people that hung around his brother. Upon his arrival to Chikyuu, Radditz had begun his search. He hadn't been surprised to learn that Kakarott was a regular competitor in this competition. But he was stunned when he'd found that his little brother did not go by the name Kakarott, but rather Son Goku. He had also managed to find pictures of his brother with some people who were apparently his friends. These were the faces he was scanning for and . . . There!! About ten feet from where he was sitting, Radditz spotted some of the people he'd seen in the pictures. 'This will be easier than I thought.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gohan and Jianu were leaning against a wall while they waited for the Junior matches to begin. "Oi Jianu! Who's your friend?" They both turned to see a girl Gohan's age, with dark purple hair and three eyes, heading their way.
"Hanabira*!" Jianu exclaimed, hugging the girl tightly. She turned to Gohan, "Gohan-kun, this is Hanabira, Tien-san and Ranchi-san's daughter. Hanabira, this is Son Gohan, Goku-san's son."
"Hajimemashite."
"So ya think we'll have any competition today?" Jianu asked.
Hanabira sighed, "I dunno, so far it looks like the three of us are the only ones with a high ki level."
"Bummer."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The announcer came out and welcomed everyone to the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai.
'Oh great,' Radditz groaned silently as the announcer went on to say that they would begin with the Junior's tournament. It wasn't until he saw one of the first competitors that he got interested. 'Nani?! A tail?! That boy is a saiya-jin! He must be Kakarott's son!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Say Jianu-san . . . " Gohan began as Hanabira stepped onto the ring for her first match.
"Hnnn?"
"Where'd ya meet Hanabira-san? I thought your okaasan said no one knew where her parents lived."
Jianu chuckled, "We don't. But most of us were here for the last Budokai and that's when I met her." Her expression turned thoughtful, "She's gotten a lot stronger since then."
"Did ya fight her?"
"Iie, she was still too little to fight."
"Oh, wakatta."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I won't bore you with the details of the first few matches. Gohan, Jianu, and Hanabira all easily won their matches. So it wasn't until the final rounds that things got interesting . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hanabira regarded her opponent thoughtfully. He was eight years-old ( three years her senior ) and a red-belt in karate. He was good . . . but she was the daughter of Tenshinhan.
"Hajime kudasai!"
Hanabira dashed forward and kicked out with her right leg, sweeping the boy off his feet. He caught himself and backflipped away from her. When he looked up she was gone . . . opening his senses he realized just in time that she was on his left! Swinging his arm around he punched Hanabira in her face sending her flying across the ring. She shook her head, clearing it. He packed a powerful punch!
"You're good . . . but I'm through playing . . ."
The boy looked at her oddly, 'What does she mean by that?'
Hanabira raised her arms in front of her face . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in the green room . . .
"Cover your eyes, Gohan-kun," Jianu warned.
"Ahre?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Taiyouken!!" The entire area was filled with a blinding light. While he was still recovering, Hanabira dashed forward and knocked the boy out of the ring.
"Akira-senshi is out of the ring! Hanabira-senshi is the winner!"
She smiled as Akira got climbed back onto the ring, "You okay?"
"Hai, hai," he replied rubbing the back of his head. "Where'd ya learn how to do that?"
"My `tousan, Tenshinhan taught me."
"Hayai," Akira was impressed. He took her hand and shook it, "You're the first person to beat me in a long time."
"Hanabira grinned, "Maybe you'll win next time."
Akira grinned back, "Maybe."
Still smiling Hanabira led him over to her friends, "Akira, I'd like you to meet Son Gohan and Jianu. Guys, this is Akira."
"Hajimemashite." Akira shook hands with Gohan and then Jianu. When their hands touched, the two stared at each other, a look of recognition on their faces.
"I . . . I think I know you . . ."
"Saa . . . or we should know each other . . ."
"What are you guys talking about?! You just met!" Hanabira exclaimed.
Jianu turned to her, "I don't know how to explain it . . . but somehow we know each other."
"And it has something to do with these, " Akira lifted his right sleeve as did Jianu, to reveal very similar birthmarks. The only difference was the number of stars, Akira had one star and Jianu had three.
"Uso!" Gohan and Hanabira breathed.
"This can't be a coincidence . . ." Gohan started, but his speculations would have to wait as the announcer's voice interrupted. It was time for the next match: Son Gohan vs. Jianu
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jianu and Gohan smiled and bowed to each other, they knew this was going to be a good fight.
"Hajime kudasai!"
The two senshi charged and met in the middle punching, kicking, and blocking each other. Gohan grunted as Jianu's knee hit him in the stomach. Falling down, he caught himself just before he hit the ground. "Yikes!" He rolled away as Jianu's foot came down, right where he'd just been, cracking the ring. Jumping back to his feet he crossed his arms in front of his face to block her punch. But the punch was just a feint, Jianu struck out with her leg and kicked Gohan clear across the ring and out over the grass. He stopped himself just inches away from the ground. "Whew! That was close."
"You comin' back up or should I come out ta meet you?"
"I'm comin'. I'm comin'," Gohan grumbled as he flew back into the ring. He smirked at Jianu and crouched into his fighting stance once again, "Let's get serious." he challenged.
"You're on!" The two senshi charged again and the audience lost them. All that could be seen were quick flashes of movement, accompanied by sounds of a fist or leg making physical contact. Then . . . Wham! Jianu came crashing into the ring, digging a small trench into it with her back. "Itai!" she groaned, standing back up. Looking up she saw Gohan still levitating above the ring. 'Let's see what he thinks of this!' Cupping her right hand behind her, Jianu began gathering her ki.
'What is she up to?' Gohan wondered.
Suddenly a green sphere of ki, about the size of a baseball, appeared in her hand. "Nichibotsu Tama!" Jianu wound up and threw it right at him. Gohan's eyes widened in surprise and he dove out of the way, only to have the ki ball follow him.
"Shimatta!" Gohan increased his speed to put some distance between him and the ball. Turning around he braced himself and gave a kiai shout. When the smoke cleared Gohan was unscathed. He looked to the ring where Jianu had been standing . . . and she wasn't there. "Nani?!" he turned around and struck out with his left arm blocking Jianu's punch, following with his right arm he struck her across the face . Then the audience lost them again. Wham! Once again Jianu went flying towards the ground, this time she didn't crash into the ring, but the ground next to it. Smiling, Gohan lowered himself back to the ring as Jianu climbed back up. The two young senshi bowed to each other then walked back to the green room while the audience was going wild behind them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hanabira grinned and clapped Jianu on her back, "That was awesome!"
"ITAI!!!!"
"Jianu-san, daijoubu-ka?!" Gohan looked upset, had he hurt her that badly?
"Yah, I'm fine. But I'm gonna have a huge bruise there tomorrow."
"Gomen nasai," Gohan replied looking sheepish.
Jianu shook her head, "Don't worry `bout it, Gohan-kun. It's nothin'." She chuckled, "`Sides, you gotta fight Hanabira next."
Gohan and Hanabira grinned in anticipation. The announcer came over and asked Gohan if he wanted to take a break before the next match. He didn't, he was ready now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As they waited for the announcer to begin the fight a familiar voice rang out over the roar of the crowd. "Ganbare yo, Hanabira!!"
Gohan stared at the owner of the voice in shock. She had blond hair and only two eyes, but other than that she was identical to Hanabira. "Nani?!"
"That's my twin sister, Capullo( pronounced: kapuiyo )."
"T-t-twin?!"
"Hai, Son Gohan. I have a twin. We're almost identical."
"I can tell."
They bowed to each other . . . "Hajime kudasai!" Dashing forward Gohan punched at Hanabira with his right arm. She ducked, and grabbing hold of his arm, threw him across the ring. Catching himself, Gohan backflipped over to where she was standing and caught her under the chin with his leg. Hanabira grunted and kicked out with her left leg as she fell on her side, knocking him down as well. They both flipped back up to their feet, smiled then vanished.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akira looked over at Jianu who was moving her eyes around quickly. "Can you see them?!"
"Yah, they're good."
Akira shook his head, "I can't follow them at all. `Course I couldn't follow you either . . ."
"Look! There!!" Hanabira and Gohan were face-to-face, holding each other by the hands in a fierce grip.
"They look even."
"Iie, Gohan-kun's gonna win," Jianu replied still watching the two strain against one another.
"How do ya know that?"
She pointed, "Look, Hanabira's legs are sliding real slow. She's losing her grip on the ring." Sure enough, no sooner had Jianu finished her sentence when Hanabira slipped. Gohan fell flat on his back and threw her over his head, hard. Hanabira crashed into the outer wall and fell to the ground. Getting up on her hands and knees, she shook her head before standing up and bowing to Gohan. He returned her bow and the announcer came over declaring Son Gohan the winner of the Junior's tournament.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Radditz smirked, his nephew was an impressive fighter, as were the last two girls he had fought. Now he was looking forward to seeing how his brother and his friends fought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As expected all the Z senshi made it into the final rounds of the Budokai and the line-up was as follows:
Yamcha vs. Debra
Chapa Ou vs. Tenshinhan
Son Goku vs. Chouzu
Seigo vs. Kuririn
In the first round, Debra defeated Yamcha, much to Bulma's disappointment and Tien had no trouble with Chapa Ou. Goku beat Chouzu( of course ), and Kuririn wiped the floor with Seigo. In round two, Debra gave quite a fight before losing to Tien and Kuririn and Goku had a match to remember. Round three, Son Goku vs. Tenshinhan took out what was left of the ring, but when it was over it was Son Goku who won the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The gang had all gathered outside the Budokai arena and were considering going out for dinner together when a strange voice spoke up from behind them. "Sumimasen." They turned and stared at the newcomer, he was very tall and had wild black hair that went down past his knees. Goku's face scrunched in concentration, for some reason this man looked familiar . . . The man looked right at Goku, "It's good to see you again, little brother."
