Otherworlds: Dragonball
by Mutsunokami
Krillin and a kempo fighter face off on the mat.
"Begin!!"
"Good luck, Krillin!"
Krillin turns his head to look at Goku. "Yup!"
Seeing this, the fighter attacks! "HAI--!!"
He viciously kicks Krillin in the stomach. Krillin lands
on his stomach on the mat. The fighter then lands an elbow
strike on his back, and proceeds to pound on Krillin before
he can get up. Krillin just lays there, unmoving. The kempo
fighter huffs and grins. "Snee!"
"That kid looked awesome a minute ago, but..."
"I guess it was all just luck..."
Goku watches the fight in surprise. "Huh?"
Suddenly, Krillin pops up. "I'm a zombie!! Just
kidding!"
The fighter stands there in shock, not knowing what to
do. "WHA--?!"
"The invincible old master's drills were worth it, after
all! That didn't hurt at all!"
The kempo fighter nervously takes a fighting stance.
"I-Impossible...!! N-Nobody gets up after I kick 'em..."
Krillin faces his opponent. "Now. Time for a little
counterattack!!"
"WAAH!!!" The kempo fighter moves quickly--right behind
the referee. "M-Mercy!! I give up!!"
The referee just looks at the fighter in confusion. "Huh?"
*****
Bulma stands on the mat, facing her last opponent before
the finals. The girl adjusts her makeup and closes her compact
before smirking at Bulma. The referee steps forward.
"Begin!!"
Bulma and Ranfan circle each other before Ranfan attacks
with a blistering kick! Bulma catches the kick and shakes her
head in mock-disapproval. She gets a better grip on the leg
and tosses Ranfan away from the mat.
"Victory to Number 118! She will enter the Tenkaichi
Budokai finals!!"
Bulma flashes a victory sign before stepping off the platform.
*****
The Lion Fang Fu fighter dodges Goku's attacks and turns to
retailiate. Goku speeds in and strikes one of the fighter's legs
out from under him, making him fall to the mat. "Waah!"
Goku walks over and grabs the fighter's legs. "Heave..."
"What-- What do you think you are...!!"
"HO!" Goku picks up the fallen fighter and throws him out of
the fighting area.
"Wah-wah-wah!!" WHAM!
"Out of bounds!! The winner is Number 70!!" The referee
points at Goku. "He will enter the Tenkaichi Budokai finals!!!"
"YES--!!"
"You did it, Goku, you really did it!!"
"WOO-HOO--!!"
"Next match! Contestants Numbers 93 and 97, please enter
the ring!"
"You can do it, Krillin! We're going into this Strongest-
Under-The-Heavens thing together!!"
"Yeah!!" Krillin steps onto the mat to face a huge bear
in a white karate gi.
"Goku!"
Goku looks over at his name being called. "Huh?"
"Congrats! You've qualified for the finals!"
Goku looks at the man in confusion. "...huh? Who're you?"
Shhp! "Wolf Fang Fist!!"
"OH!! YAMCHA!!"
"Now do you remember?"
"Wow--!! Neat--!! Long time no see! I didn't recognize
you 'cause your hair's different." Yamcha rubs his head in
embarrassment.
"Bulma kept on bugging me "'cuz long hair is so totally OUT
in the metropolis," so... Never thought we'd meet again in a place
like this."
"You came for the Strongest-Under-The-Heavens thingy, too,
Yamcha?! Did you qualify??"
"Yup! For a long time that's all I've been training for."
Yamcha crosses his arms. "I don't think I have a chance against
you, though, Goku... All that training you got from the invincible
old master's put you at a whole different level."
"I'm pretty surprised, too!" Behind them, Krillin dodges a
swipe from the bear. He rears back and shoots forward with a mighty
kick!
"TYAH--!!" BAKOOOM! The bear falls over and cries 'mercy!'
"Victory to Number 93!! He qualifies for the Tenkaichi
Budokai!!!"
"YEAH!!!"
"He with the Turtle Master, too?"
"Yup! He's my training mate, Krillin!!"
Yamcha leans against the mat and sighs. "Even second place is
looking iffy..." Then he perks up. "Which reminds me... Bulma,
Oolong, and Puar are all here too, down by the main arena."
Goku, with Krillin riding on his shoulders, stops. "Huh?!
Really!?"
*****
Down at the main arena...
Master Roshi is making his way through the crowds and almost
literally runs into someone he knows. He turns to apologize and
sees Bulma, Oolong, and Puar.
"Hmm--?!" Roshi stares at the group, while they stare back at
him.
"Huh--?!" Bulma stares at Master Roshi, sure that she's seen
him somewhere else today, but not sure where.
"My, my, my--! How have you been?"
"Kamesennin, where in the world do you live?! I went to your
island to visit Goku, but there was nothing there!!"
"It's too small a space for serious training, so we moved...
But never mind that..." He holds his hands in front of his face.
"Why don't you fill me in on how you've been filling out?"
The people around them all stare at Master Roshi's crumpled
form on the ground, and look nervously over at Bulma, who is holding
a giant mallet she pulled from nowhere.
"I think not...!!"
"Oolong!!"
"What?! GOKU!!! Wow-- Long time no see--!!"
"Yeah--!! Bulma, Puar, you guys been good, too?!"
"Yup!"
"Hey, Goku! You here for the tournament?" Bulma gives Goku a
quick hug.
"You're competing, right?? Did you bump into Yamcha?"
"I sure did! I didn't recognize him with his hair all short!!"
Goku pulls Krillin closer to the group of friends. "This here is
my training mate, Krillin!"
Krillin bows to the group. "Nice to meet you!"
Master Roshi leans forward. "So...? How was it? Did you
qualify?"
Goku and Krillin both grin at each other and laugh.
"...No!! You DID?!!"
Goku grins up at Bulma. "Yup!! Me and Krillin and Yamcha,
too!!"
Puar flips in the air in joy. "Banzai--!!"
Bulma just shakes her head. "You never cease to amaze me, kid!"
"He delivers, as always--!"
Master Roshi smiles approvingly at his students. "Indeed! Good
job!!"
Suddenly,,.
"The Tenkaichi Budokai will begin momentarily! Will the eight
finalists please assemble in the main Martial Arts Hall!"
"Hey, you two. They want you to go."
Goku and Krillin climb up the wall to take a short cut. "Well,
see you all later--!!"
Oolong calls after them. "GOOD LUCK--!!"
Bulma giggles at Goku's antics. "He's still such a shrimp."
"Huh--? Where'd the old man go?"
"I gotta go get ready, guys. Wish me luck!"
"Good luck, Bulma! Knock 'em dead!"
"Oh, I hope you don't have to fight Lord Yamcha! I wouldn't
know who to cheer for!"
With that, Bulma runs off to get ready...

Friends, Enemies, and Noses!
The contestants have been chosen! Who will fight who?! The fight
selection and first fight, right here! Next time, on Bulma's Tale!
