An Old Evil Returns
*~Chapter Seven~*
*~The World Tournament~*

AN: Yay! The World Martial Arts Tournament! Now, we'll see what happens hehehe ^_~ (And I know I have flaws, but I don't know that much about DBGT, but I'm learning. I hope I don't ruin the story ~_~ I hope you still like it).

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ

After leaving Marron, Pan went to go back to train with Gohan and Goten while Marron went back to Piccolo. Time had passed and now it was the time Pan had been waiting for...the World Martial Arts Tournament. As Pan walked into the stadium she breathed in a breath of air.

"Ahhh." she exhaled. "Finally! I've been waiting for a long time to be here. And I can't wait to go kick some butt!" Gohan looked down and smiled at her.

"You just be careful alright?" Goku said, rubbing his hand on her hair, messing it up.

"I will, don't worry." Pan said, trying to fix her hair. Gohan, Goku, Goten, Trunks, Vegeta, Pan, Videl, Bulma, Chi-chi, and Bra continued walking under the banners that advertised the World Tournament and Mr. Satan, the current champion.

"I wonder where Krillin is," Goku said, "He told me he would be here to watch with 18 and Marron."

"Marron's here?" Pan said, her face lighting up. Trunks looked to Goku with interest.

"Yeah, I think so. They should be right around here."

"I'm going to go see my Dad, ok?" Videl said.

"I'll come with you." Gohan said, as he and Videl walked away from the rest of the group. Pan decided to stay with Goku. She liked him better than her other Grandfather, Mr. Satan.

"Hey Goku!" A voice said. Goku looked to his left.

"Krillin! 18! I'm glad you could come!" Krillin and 18 came forward.

"Where's Marron?" Pan said, looking around.

"She couldn't come. She had to go take some tests that she got in the mail from her school." 18 commented.

"Oh." Trunks said, stuffing his hands in his pockets. Pan's face looked disapointed.

"Where's Piccolo? I thought he was competing?" Krillin asked.

"He is. I just don't know where he is."

"The Namek's probably just scared that he might have to compete against me or Kakarat." Vegeta mumbled.

"Well, I'm going to check in and get my seat." Chi-chi said.

"Now, you two be nice and play fair." Bulma whispered to Vegeta and Trunks.

"Sure, Mom."

"Whatever." Bulma pinched Vegeta.

"Hey!" he said.

"I mean it, Vegeta." She said, sternly. She, Chi-chi, 18, and Krillin went to take their seats.

"Good luck guys!" Krillin waved. Suddenly, something started to ring. Goten took out his cell phone as Vegeta rolled his eyes.

'That thing might as well be glued to his ear!' he thought.

"Hello? Oh hi, Paris! What's new?..." Goten continued to talk. After signing in. Piccolo appeared with a girl behind him. She was wearing an outfit similar to his, but it was black and the belt was dark purple. She didn't have shoulder wieghts, but she had on the turbin and a veil across her face, showing only her eyes.

"Hey, Piccolo." Goku said. Piccolo nodded and signed up as "Majunior," his usual alias. The girl behind him came forward and signed her name. Everyone stood and watched her.

'Something's familiar about her....' Trunks thought. As she and Piccolo walked passed them, the girl paused at Trunks and Pan. She looked down at Pan.

"Good luck." she said.

"Yea......thanks." Pan said, folding her arms and looking at her in a distrusting kind of way. Pan obviously didn't like her. The girl looked up to Trunks and winked at him. He let out a little gasp in surprise as his eyes widened. The girl walked away with Piccolo at her side. Trunks walked up to the check-in booth and looked where the girl had signed her name.

"Isis?" he said, 'That's an odd name. I've never heard of her before. Of course, I had never heard of the Supreme Kai, Yamu, Debora, or any of those other people before Majin Buu was released.' he thought.

"Come on, Trunks, hurry up!" Vegeta said. Trunks walked away from the booth and joined the rest of the group. Gohan and Videl appeared soon after.

"Hey, Goten. That girl that was with Piccolo sure seemed familiar. Do you think it could have been Marron?" Goten put his hand over the phone.

"I'll be off in a second."

"Ok."

"Hey, Paris, I have to go and compete now. Watch for me on TV! ...... Alright......... ok........me too.........bye." He hung up his phone and put it in his jacket pocket.

"No, I don't think it could have been Marron. Marron has blue eyes, that other girl had green. There's no way it could have been her."

"Yeah......I guess you're right. And, besides, 18 said that she was taking a test anyway."

"I don't trust her!" Pan piped in.

"Who? That girl?" Goten asked.

"Yes. I hope I can fight against her.....I wanna kick her butt."

"Her name is Isis. And her power level was pretty stong." Trunks added.

"Isis huh? Sounds like she's as cold as ice. Well, I'll be the one to set her on fire." Pan smiled devilishly. 'And now, I get to show everyone how much I've improved.'

"Now, now, Pan, you don't know how tough this girl is. She might be out of your league." Goku said.

"Yeah, and she might be too easy too." Pan retorted. They walked into the room where they would see who would be competing. The top sixteen got to fight and the Z fighters wizzed right through it. But, so did Piccolo and that strange girl who was with him. Next, it was the drawing time. It was Isis's turn to draw and when she did, she got the number that would be competing against Pan.

'Yes! I get to fight against her and see what her power is really like!' Isis looked at Pan and squinted her eyes, then went back to stand next to Piccolo. Some unknown people showed up too. But, they weren't the type that seemed like something to worry about.


'I wonder who that girl is?' Goku thought 'I've never seen her with Piccolo before. She must be a new student or something. I guess I'll go introduce myself after the drawing.'

"Hey, Gohan. Who's that Isis-girl with Piccolo." Videl asked.

"I don't know. But, there's something about her that seems familiar." Gohan commented. After everyone drew the board looked like this:

1-Videl vs. Hornett 5
2-Isis vs. Pan
3-Piccolo vs Goten
4-Trunks vs. Zeus
5-Gohan vs. Jovanovich
6-Viking vs. Vegeta
7. Goku vs. Hunter
8-Mr. Satan vs. Goldsmith

'Hmmm....looks like I'll have to beat this lame-brain in order to fight Kakarat.' Vegeta thought, 'That won't be too hard.'

"Looks like I'm up first." Videl said, as the group walked up towards the waiting room.

"Be careful, Mom." Pan said, giving her a hug.

"Don't worry about me. You just worry about yourself." Goku made his way towards Piccolo and confronted him. Isis moved out of their way and walked near a fountain and sat on it's edge.

"You know you can't keep a secret from me, Piccolo. Now who is the girl."

"I promised to keep her identity a secret. She came to me recently and I've been teaching her. Now, please excuse us. We have to meditate." Piccolo brushed passed him and took Isis's hand. He led her to the warm-up room to meditate.

'Hmmmmm..... something's not right. Piccolo wouldn't just take on a student and not tell me. I wonder if-'

"C'mon dad!" Goten called to him, interrupting his train of thought.

"Coming, Goten." Goku ran to him. In the warm-up room. People were stretching and doing exercises to prepare themselves for their match. Piccolo and Isis were in another room, separated from the main one.

"I've got to find out who that girl is." Trunks whispered to himself.

"You don't have to. You want to." Gohan said, overhearing him. Trunks's eyes moved to look at him.

"Yeah, you're right. I'll...be right back." he said, turning to go.

"You can go spy on them if you want to. I won't stop you." Trunks stopped for a second then left. He found the room where Piccolo and Isis were meditating and pushed open the door so that only one of his eyes could see in. What he saw was Piccolo and Isis in a lotus position. They were floating in the air and bits of electricity were going off around them (Piccolo's was green and Isis's was gold). Trunks's mouth gaped open as he watched Isis and Piccolo. Isis's turban was slowly coming off, revealing stands of obsidian black hair which were starting to turn a bright gold. Trunks let out a small surprised gasp and Isis's eyes opened sharply and she saw him. Piccolo's eyes opened as Isis pointed a finger at Trunks and a spark of lighting almost hit him as he closed the door.

"Woah. That girl's dangerous." He muttered to himself and walked back to the main room.

"So, what happened?" Gohan asked.

"I nearly got fried."

"Ok, then...never mind."

"Alright Ladies and Gentlemen. Can I have your attention please? We're going to get things started with our first match. She is the daughter of Hercule and probably the strongest woman among us. He spends most of his time breeding bees and hornets with the wrestling group Hornets." The announcer paused for a second, scratching his head about what he just said and how weird it sounded. "Everyone please welcome, Hornet 5 and Videl!" Hornet 5 and Videl walked up together side by side to the arena.

"Woohoo go Videl!" Chi-chi, Bulma, and Krillin said. Videl blushed a little then got into her fighting mode. She put up her block and got ready to charge.

"Hey, guys, I'm gonna go to Corrin's and get some censu beans. You never know when you'll need them," he looked to Pan.

"What? I can handle myself!"

"I'll be back soon." he sighed.

"Yes, hurry back, Kakarot. You don't want to miss battling me in the final round." Vegeta said. Goku put his two index fingers to his forehead and disappeared. The sounds of Videl and Hornet going after each other could be heard and Videl had the advantage.
