This is an AU about the world martial arts tournament. It's a Gohan and
Videl fic, so those who for some twisted reason don't like those, just
click on that little button labeled "back". In this version, Gohan, Goten,
and Trunks are the only ones who have entered the tournament. Goku is not
coming back, and Vegeta and the rest of the gang are not entering either.
Some are spectators in the stands, like Yamcha was. Also, Gohan felt that
Videl was getting too close to finding out he was Saiyaman, so he had
Saiyaman disspear. It's explained earlier in the fic.

Tournament Troubles
Gohan and Videl continued to stare at each other in surprise. Krillin was still on the ground laughing his head off. Videl was the first one to recover. "Um…Hi, Gohan…"
"…Hey Videl…" 'Why do I always get so speechless around her?'
"So…you've entered the tournament. I didn't know that you where a fighter."
Gohan chuckled nervously. Krillin finally calmed down enough the stand, and replied,
"It runs in his family."
Videl gave Krillin a surprised look. "His family? And who are you?"
Krillin smiled. "My name is Krillin, I'm a good friend of Gohan's, and Gohan's dad is Son Goku."
"WHAT? Gohan, your dad is Son Goku?"
Gohan became confused at her words. How did she know his dad? "Yeah…how do you know my dad?"
"You're dad is famous! He won the twenty-third World Tournament, and was a finalist in the previous two! When he was still a little kid! He's a legend! How could you not know that?!?" Gohan was shocked. He didn't know his dad was famous. He always knew that Goku was strong – he was a saiyan, after all – and that he fought in the world tournaments, but not that he was famous because of it.
Krillin helped out. "Videl, Goku never bragged about his strength or fights. He was just having fun competing. Goku never did want any fame, so he really never talked about it. Goku has always been like that." Gohan silently thanked the short man. "Gohan is just like his father, strong but not showing it. My boy here is even stronger that is father was!" At Krillin's words, Gohan blushed red, embarrassed, and scratched the back of his head.
Videl smirked. "Stronger than the legendary Goku, huh? This I'll have to see. But just tell me one thing…" Gohan gulped nervously. "Do you use the same light tricks that Goku used to win his fights?"
Krillin looked outraged. "Light tricks?!? Those aren't tric…" Krillin was cut short (A/N lol) when Gohan slapped his hand over Krillin's mouth, glaring at the small man to keep him quiet.
"Of course not! I don't use any fake tricks to fight!"
"Good. Stronger than Goku… Do you think you're stronger than my dad?"
"Um…"
"I hope you are." Gohan and Krillin just stared at her, too shocked at her words to respond. Videl looked down at the ground and unconsciously grabbed her right arm with her left hand, and quietly said, "Dad's ego is getting out of control. I know that Mom's been gone for a while, but…that doesn't mean that he can go flouncing everywhere with these silly women! If he got beat they would all disappear. I would like to beat him, but I know I'm not strong enough…"
Gohan, seeing that she was all of a sudden very down, decided to perk her up. "Don't sell yourself short. You're stronger than you think. You might even be stronger than your dad!" 'Actually, I KNOW that you are stronger than your dad.'
"Thanks, but I still don't know…Hey, is Goku competing today too?" Gohan sobered at this statement.
"My dad is no longer with us…"
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"It's Ok."
"Hey guys? I would hate to interrupt this tender moment…" Gohan and Videl blushed a little, but Krillin continued. "The Junior Competition is about to begin in, say, three minutes. You don't want to miss it, do you, Gohan?"
Gohan nodded. "Yeah. I don't want to miss Goten and Trunks' fight."
Videl looked at Gohan. "Goten and Trunks? You mean your brother and Trunks Breif?"
Gohan nodded. "Yeah. Goten is really strong for is age. Trunks too. Their fight should really be something. Hey, how did you know Goten was my brother?"
"I saw his name on the registration list. 'Son' isn't a very common name, and when I see a 'Son Gohan' on the list too, it was just putting two and two together. Anyways, how can seeing little kids fighting be any fun? It was just antics when I fought in it…"
Krillin chuckled. "Videl, Goten and Trunks are some of the best fighters around. They're even stronger than me!"
Videl looked at the short man. "Stronger than you? How strong is that? I've never heard of you, and you can't be that could because…um…your 'vertically challenged'."
"WHAT? I fought and trained with Goku ever since he was a kid, was his rival for a long time, and I am one of the strongest people on this planet! And you've never heard of me?
And what is with all of the 'short man' jokes today?!? Arrghh!" Krillin stomped off towards the stadium, fuming.
'Boy, what's eating him up today? He usually doesn't have a 'short temper'. Hehehe…' Gohan looked at Videl. "Krillin has always been a good fighter, but always a little weaker than Goku. He fought in the same tournaments as my father, but because Goku was there too Krillin apparently never got as much attention.
"Well, that makes sense. Now, we had better hurry, or we'll miss the beginning of the competition!"
Gohan agreed. "Yeah, lets get going." The two pushed their way through the crowds heading towards the stadium to see the competition. On their way, Gohan accidentally ran into a man who was heading the opposite direction. "Sorry…" Gohan looked up at the man. When their eyes met, time seemed to stop. The man was taller than Gohan by about a foot. He was wearing something that looked like an atomically correct body armor on his torso, and loose black pants, all covered by a long, black trench coat that ran down to his shins and seemed to have the same effect as a cape would. He had a very white face that showed no emotion but a scowl on his mouth. His hair was a dark indigo, matching his cold, angry eyes. Those eyes seemed to pierce into Gohan, sending shivers down his spine and making his blood run cold.
"Hello in there? Earth to Gohan! Come in Gohan!" Videl's voice broke Gohan's stare and reawoke him into reality. "If you don't snap out of it, I'll start to pull your hair!"
Gohan sweatdropped. "That's Ok, I'm back." He turned to look at the stranger again, only to see him walking off into the crowd. Then, smiling at Videl, he said, "Besides, I know that you're too nice to do that to a friend."
Videl narrowed her eyes. "Maybe, but if we don't hurry, we are going to miss the whole thing! Let's get a move on!" Videl continued though the crowd, almost dragging Gohan along with her.
I feel sorry for Krillin. In this fic, the short man jokes are going to be a running gag thoughout the entire thing. Next Chapter, Goten VS Trunks! And who is that mysterious guy? R&R, plus say if you come up with a few short man jokes for Krillin!
