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 disappear. It's explained earlier in the fic.
There was a big mistake in Ch. 8. The man in the blue overcoat was supposed to have blonde hair and a blue ribbon around his left arm. I've reloaded Ch. 8, also I am only concerned with the fighters that Videl, Gohan, Omega, and Mighty Mask must fight so I won't bother with the others.
**Warning: The following match gets a little ugly and disgusting**

Tournament Troubles
She wanted him to have a tough fight. She wanted him to be pushed, so he would have to push back. She needed proof to show him. However, a fight against a guy who fights like Bacterian was something you didn't wish on your worst enemy, and espically not a guy like Gohan. She couldn't help but feel worried and sorry for him. She watched Gohan walk up to her and say, "Hey, Videl, why so glum? Don't worry about it, it's my fight." Videl thought that he was either super strong or had lost it.
"Alright, let's keep this moving. We've got a lot of people out there waiting for a good fight!" The announcer continued though the procedure until all the fighters were given a spot. "There! We have a full board of fighters!" He proceeded to announce who was fighting who in the first round. Gohan was in the second match against Bacterian and Videl was in the seventh match against her father, Mr. Satan. The first real unusual fighter in the tournament, Omega, was fighting the Sharpener like guy named Jewel in the final fight, and the second weird fighter, Mighty Mask, was fighting Killa in the fifth match.
"The fighting will commence immediately, and I'm sure you know the fighting rules. You are the loser if you give up, if I count to ten, if you fall out of the ring, or if you, unfortunately, kill your competitor. Each match has a time limit of thirty minutes and not a second more. If there is not a victor decided within the allotted time, then that decision will be given to the judges. There is no poking in the eyes, and absolutely no hitting below the belt." The announcer proceed outside of the waiting area, walking across the short gap of field to the fighter's entrance to the stadium to address the crowd.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, are you ready?" The crowd roared. Videl and Gohan crowded around the fighter's entrance, looking out at the crowd, announcer, and ring.
Gohan spoke. "Wow, this is pretty exciting!" Videl smiled as well. She could only agree.
"Alright, the first match will begin momentarily, so don't go to the lemonade stand! Before we get things fired up, let me remind you that this years Adult division winner will walk away with ten million zeni!" Videl could have sworn she heard a female voice yelling about that money sending her little boy to college for a Ph.D. Gohan sweat dropped. "With that said, let us welcome the esteemed directory of the tournament who has a few words of wisdom he would like to share with us."
An old dog man came up and accepted the mike from the announcer and walked to the center of the ring. The crowd died down, anxious to hear what he had to say. The director stood there with the mike for a moment, glancing about the stadium, utterly silent. After a short time, he finally spoke. "Woof."
"Isn't that profound!?!" Everyone in the audience fell over.
"Yes! Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to present to you the first match in the World Martial Arts tournament! So, let's get the first two fighters out here!" The man with the blonde hair and blue overcoat came into the ring with his opponent. "Let the match begin!"
The match didn't last too long. The blonde haired man didn't drop into a fighting stance. His opponent did, and charged at the blonde. Suddenly, he froze in mid charge. The blonde fighter had a wicked smile on his face as he came up to his opponent and with one punch knocked him out of the ring. "Alright, General Blue with one swift blow advances to the next round!" The crowd didn't look too happy, since the match only lasted a few seconds.
"Hey you two, what's happening?" Videl started at the sound of the half- way familiar voice behind her. She turned around to the owner of the voice with surprise.
Gohan turned around as well, and looking just as surprised. "Krillin, how did you get back here? Did you pretend you were a junior competitor again?"
Krillin shook his head. "No, and very funny. Some of the old workers recognized me and let me in. I came here to tell you something. Chichi and Bulma are looking for Goten and Trunks. None of us have seen either of them since the end of their match. The mothers are getting a little worried."
Gohan nodded. "Well, I can't look for them. I need to stick around here. Plus, my match is up next." As if on cue, the announcer called up the fighters for the second round. "Well got to go."
Videl watched Gohan walk up to the ring, but we couldn't afford to watch him much longer. She grabbed Krillin's arm and pulled the short man to the side of the waiting area.
Krillin looked up at her. "Hey, what was that all abou…holy moly!" Videl and Krillin were both forced to hold their noses suddenly as Gohan's opponent, Bacterian, walked passed the two into the ring. "I would think he would be banned from this tournament! Geez, he smells worse than he did all those years ago!"
Videl looked down at him. "How would you know?"
"I fought Bacterian a long time ago, in my first World Tournament appearance."
"Oh." The smell eventually drifted away, allowing the fighters the breath again. Videl and Krillin went back to where they were so that they could see the action. "Do you think that Gohan really has a chance of winning against a guy like Bacterian?"
"Oh, yeah. Gohan will win. Just watch and see."
Videl turned her attention to the ring, a look of fierce concentration on her face. 'Alright, Gohan, let's see what you can do.'
~0~
Gohan calmly walked up to the ring, then glanced back towards the waiting area. He saw his opponent, a walking landfill, coming out onto the ring. He could already smell Bacterian from all the way from the ring with his sensitive nose. Gohan tried to bear it but the stench was too much. He had to hold his nose, only to discover that had already been holding his nose. He inwardly groaned.
"Alright, the second match is sure to be colossal! This match features Gohan, the son of the former champion Goku Son, and Bacterian, whom you've might have noticed has a very distinctive odor about him. Alright, you two, let's keep this nice and clean…alright, scratch that, it's clearly not possible. Just try not to get anything on the audience, ok? Let's get those punches flying!"
Bacterian walked up to Gohan. As he came closer, the smell became twice as concentrated to the young saiyan. Gohan could hardly stand it. Then, Bacterian tried to punch Gohan. Using his super speed, Gohan phased out then in at the other side of the ring. There the smell wasn't so bad, but Gohan knew that he would eventually have to close in on Bacterian to land a punch or kick. Making sure the job was done with one blow was simplicity in itself since Gohan had enough strength to take down men with hundreds times stronger than Bacterian with one blow. The problem was getting close enough, since the smell got a lot worse the closer you got to Bacterian, especially with Gohan's sensitive nose.
Bacterian turned around. "I miss you. Tricky. Now I have some trickys too." He breathed in deeply, then exhaled a toxic wind towards the half saiyan. Gohan's vision spun as the odor hit him, and for a second it looked like there was three Bacterians.
Bacterian bent low and went for Gohan's legs. Gohan countered by jumping and flipping over Bacterian, landing right behind him. Videl's voice and the urgency in it area caught his attention.
"Gohan! That's the last spot you want to be!"
Gohan reviewed the situation. He was standing right behind Bacterian, who was bent over and low to the ground. Just as he realized the dangerous situation he was in, the worst came to pass.
BLAAAT!!!
The smell from Bacterian's, um, ahem, exhaust, was way too much for Gohan. The smell was overwhelming. He couldn't stand it. His body went into automatic and did whatever it had to to get away from the source of the smell.
Gohan jumped, as hard and high as he could. Before he even realized what he was doing, Gohan was a couple hundred feet into the air, floating and breathing in the much cleaner air.
~0~
Videl knew her warning was way too late to do Gohan any good. He was in the worst position possible – behind a bent over Bacterian. She saw Bacterian use one of his worst weapons – the, ahem, release of toxic vapors through the rear end.
But she didn't expect Gohan to jump up as high as he did in reaction. He was at least two hundred feet in the air, and staying there. There was no doubt about it; he was capable of flying, or at least floating in the air.
'I've got my proof, Son Gohan. Me and you are going to have a little talk after your match…'
~0~
Gohan looked around and then the realization hit him. There was no way that he could lie though this one. Everyone knew that he was flying. He might as well have put a neon sign around him that said that Gohan wasn't just a nerd. Videl was going to want a little explanation after this. The others in the stadium might pass it off as a trick, especially with Mr. Satan there. However, Gohan knew that Videl wasn't about to buy that.
Gohan floated back down towards the ring, on the opposite end of Bacterian, but still back into the smell. Well, since his secret was out, at least to Videl, he might as well use it to his advantage. Gohan realized he didn't have to close in on Bacterian to beat him.
Gohan powered up a tiny bit, allowing him to draw from the enormous well of energy that comes with being a Super Saiyan. He fired a light energy blast on Bacterian's feet, sending the stinky giant flipping head over heels backwards until he smashed into the stadium wall, knocking him both unconscious and out of the ring.
"Gohan is the winner! Now, I believe we will take a brief intermission so that we can clean up the ring for the next match." Numerous workers wearing gas masks came out with mops and disinfectants, spraying and washing the entire ring down. Others wearing complete hazardous material isolation suits came out to haul Bacterian out of the stadium.
Gohan walked back to the waiting area amid cheers from the crowd. He held a fist up in the air for them. However, he wasn't looking forward to the meeting with Videl. He could see from there the angry look on her face. He gulped and approached her. Before he could even come close however, she held up her hand.
"Yes, Gohan, I do want to talk to you. ASAP. However…" She suddenly reached up and grabbed her nose, and backed away from him. Gohan then noticed the other fighters doing the same. "…Bacterian's smell is all over you! Could you please clean up first?"
Gohan sniffed is own clothes, discovering that she was very right. He couldn't stand his own smell. Gohan scratched that back of his head and gave the Son Grin, then followed one of the workers to a bathing area where he could clean up.
~0~0~0~
Maybe I was a little cruel in putting Gohan up against Bacterian, but, hey, life isn't fair.
Yes, I had thought about Gohan using Krillin's method of taking Bacterian out, but I thought that was probably beneath Gohan's dignity. Besides, what would have Videl thought?
Also, Gohan couldn't kill Bacterian, he would have been disqualified. He needs the money, remember?
Lastly, to Saturn-hime, no I don't want to know what you were thinking about that bizarre statement.
There was a big mistake in Ch. 8. The man in the blue overcoat was supposed to have blonde hair and a blue ribbon around his left arm. I've reloaded Ch. 8, also I am only concerned with the fighters that Videl, Gohan, Omega, and Mighty Mask must fight so I won't bother with the others.
