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.
100 reviews! Yes! Thank you! ::Does dance even Saiyaman would find embarrassing:: Now let's turn up the heat…

Tournament Troubles
Videl continued to look at her hands. With these hands, she had done the impossible, at least in her mind. She had defeated her father, the world champion. With her own hands, and this weird power that was inside of her. And Gohan had told her that she could learn to harness this power, and bring it out at will.
"Gohan, so what exactly is this power? How is it used? And…"
"Whoa, please, one question at a time. It's called energy. All living beings possess energy, although a person's skill and ability to focus their energy varies widely. It's used by being channeled and focused in the body, increasing the speed and strength of the body, although to learn how to do it at will takes patience, will, and dedication."
"And you can teach me to do that?"
"Sure, although I have to admit it would be my first time teaching someone…" Videl failed to notice that the seventh match had just begun.
"What about Goten and Trunks?"
"Trunks was trained by his father. Goten…well, it kind of came naturally to him. Well, I did teach him a few techniques using energy, but not how to focus his…"
"Techniques? Like what?"
"Flying, for instance. To fly you focus your energy to lift you up off the ground. Once you take control of your energy, you can do amazing things that some would call impossible."
Videl looked back down at her fists, clenching and unclenching them. "…Wow…"
~0~
The hairs on the back of Gohan's neck stood up and a chill shot down his spine. He turned around to find that mysterious fighter, Omega, glaring at him again from across the waiting area. Gohan had lost count of the number of times that he had seen Omega stare at him with that loathing look. One could almost think Gohan had insulted his personal honor or something.
Standing next to Videl, and trying not to be bothered by Omega, Gohan watched the seventh fight with an air of boredom. The giant Pintar was fighting hard with his opponent. It was obvious Pintar was going to win because it seemed that everything his opponent gave he could just shrug off, although if any of the Z fighters fought him Pintar would be down in seconds.
"Hey, Gohan?"
"Yes, Videl?"
"What's up with that guy Omega? He's been staring at you all tournament."
"You noticed too, huh? I don't know. I've never even heard of him."
"Well, it's his match next. He's fighting Jewel. Jewel made it to the finals last tournament, but lost to my dad. It should be a good fight, I think…"
Gohan mentally shook his head. 'Not likely. There's something about that Omega guy that just screams 'trouble' to me…' "Well just have to wait and see, I guess."
The announcer came on. "And Pintar advances. Now, it's time for the last match of the first round. We have a man who made it all the way to the finals last time, the ladies love him, say hello to Jewel!" A lot of female voices cheered in the crowd as Jewel walked out to the ring, many of the girls yelling that they loved Jewel. Videl made a gagging noise next to Gohan.
"And next we have Omega!" Omega began to walk out to the ring, his arms crossed and a deep frown on his face. "This is a newcomer whom we have heard little…" The announcer's commentary was cut short when Omega pointed a finger at the announcer's mike. The mike exploded, cutting off the announcer and covering his face with black soot. The announcer looked dumbfounded as workers scrambled to bring out a replacement mike. Omega walked up to the ring.
Gohan narrowed his eyes, staring at Omega. This guy meant business; he isn't fooling around. 'That energy…I've sensed something like that before…it almost reminds me of Frieza…' Gohan couldn't help but feel that something big was about to go down.
"That's weird. Mikes just don't explode…Gohan?"
"…Videl, I think things are about to get really ugly."
"What makes you say that?"
"…There's something…wrong…with this guy."
The tournament workers finally got another mike to the announcer. He took it quickly, as if he wasn't complete without it. "Alright, um…let the match begin?"
Omega was looking back the waiting area, almost right at Gohan. He didn't even glance at Jewel. Jewel must have seen this as an insult, because he immediately charged at Omega. However, before Jewel could even get a couple of feet, Omega came at him, but his glaze never left Gohan.
At a speed that only Gohan could see, Omega reached out with one arm and wrapped his fingers around Jewel's neck. Jewel's skin turned white from the pressure being applied by Omega's hand. Omega's kept his eyes on Gohan as he raised Jewel up so that his feet were two feet off the ring's floor. Jewel's struggled in vain to try and knock Omega's arms away from his neck. He couldn't even get them to budge.
Omega held Jewel there for a moment while Jewel struggled. When Jewel's efforts started to slack from lack of oxygen, Omega's face changed from a deep frown to a sinister, cruel smile. He twisted the hand holding Jewel's neck suddenly. A sharp bone crushing "CRACK!" could be heard throughout the stadium as Jewel's neck gave away. Omega laughed as he tossed Jewel's body to the ground, the neck at a position that was not survivable. The only sound in the stadium was Omega's cruel, high-pitched laugh.
Gohan ran a short distance till he was just outside the waiting area, a shocked look on his face. This man…there was no reason to do that! Jewel may have been weak, but that's no reason to kill him. And Omega seemed to be enjoying all of this, like it was just some sort of game! Gohan didn't think anyone could be that cruel.
The announcer was stunned as much everyone else, but that doesn't stop that guy's speaking ability. "Hey, you're not supposed to kill your competitors! You're disqualified for use of excessive force! Now get out of here!"
Omega glared at the announcer. "No, I will have my fight." With that, Omega disappeared using super speed and reappeared right in front of Gohan. Before Gohan could do anything, Omega picked him up by the front of his gi. "You will fight me, Gohan. Now." He threw Gohan into the ring. Gohan landed on his back, skidding halfway through the ring and stopping just short of the ring's edge.
"Gohan!" Videl's yell caught the attention of Omega. She looked shocked that this was happening, and it looked like her 'friend' Gohan was next on this psycho's list. "Leave him alone!" Videl charged at Omega, but when she came close Omega backslapped her into a wall. Videl looked like she was in pain, but still conscious.
"Videl!" With Gohan's outburst, Omega looked back to the ring and Gohan. Smiling, Omega floated into the air and landed a few feet from Gohan.
Gohan picked himself up and glared at the fighter. He had hurt his best friend, and rage was starting to build within Gohan.
"Who are you?" Omega just stood there, smirking. "Answer me!"
"…Why, Gohan, don't you recognize me? I'm hurt…or has my disguise fooled you too?" Omega's smile deepens to sinister levels.
"What are you talking about? What disguise? How do you know my name?"
"Why Gohan, we first saw each other nine years ago! That monkey you call a father and that damn Prince destroyed me then, but I have come back. And the disguise is so that I could get close to you without raising suspicion. Here…let me show you what this hologram is hiding!"
Omega's form seemed to shift. It was like a TV suddenly going fuzzy. The old Omega with dark hair and trench coat disappeared, revealing the form behind the hologram. Gohan recognized him immediately.
"It's…you! But…you're supposed to be dead!"
This new Omega made the old one seem pleasant looking. He had a midnight blue body that looked like a very beefed up seven-foot person, except for his three toed feet, thick tail, and the white bone-like armor that covered him in certain places. The armor covered his upper chest and shoulders and covered his wrists and the area around his ankles. His wrists also sported fin-like blades turned upwards. His head was also covered by this armor, covering the sides and back of his head, and a crown like armor piece that was angled back with four one-foot long spikes sticking out at slight angles, a blue oval in the center, and also a mouth guard that covered his mouth and nose which moved up and down every time that he spoke. (A/N Use movie 5's transformed Cooler for reference)
"Cooler! But…how?"
Omega smiled. "No, not Cooler. More like a new, improved Cooler that has been renamed Omega Weapon. But, please, call me Omega. I like it better. It means the end, like I'm the end for you!" His evil laugh filled the stadium.
"I bet you're dieing to know how I'm back. Of course, you'll be dead soon anyway! Yes, I was killed when your nuisance of a father and that damn prince of the monkeys feed too much of their energy into the Makio Star. Upon entering the next dimension, I was immediately sent to the HFIL, but there I found someone who has a little grudge with you. I believe you killed his 'ultimate creation'. This Dr. Gero decided to use me to get his revenge."
"Dr. Gero modified my body and DNA structure, giving me power beyond anything you have even imagined, transformation states that could annihilate planets with a thought. Then, using my ability to survive anywhere, I was able to escape the HFIL and come back to this dimension once again, reborn!"
"For three years I have trained and focused my power, necessary preparation for this moment and now – you die."
With that, Omega started to power up. Gohan could sense his energy skyrocketing. Dark clouds covered the sky, and lightning that rivaled the Eternal Dragon's summoning played out across the sky and struck across the island and for miles around into the sea. Loose rocks and pieces of the stadium levitated in the air. A huge wind was being generated from the power up, sweeping people of their feet and sending them flying. Even Gohan had to put a little effort into staying his ground. The flame of dark blue energy that surrounded Omega's body grew and grew, then started to rise in a narrow column above his head, heading up into the sky (think of Gohan's power up in Empty Planet). The lightning stopped hitting in random areas and started to strike only on Omega, as if his energy was a vacuum sucking them up. His energy built into a circular shockwave, letting two minor waves come out one after another, making people's ears pop. Then, a large one indicating the finish of Omega's power up burst out, cracking buildings and nearly ripping the roof of the waiting area clear off.
Omega stood there, smirking at the young saiyan while being surrounded by a dark blue energy aura. Gohan stared back, having barely held his ground against the force of Omega's energy.
'This could be a problem…'

Another evil cliffy! Hahahaha! I told you I can be really evil! But, man, Jewel's death even scared me…
