Author Note: I sorry. I got the DBZ timeline a little screwed up. So to clarify, this takes place a year after Buu gets destroyed. So just ignore the beginning part where Goku was training Ubuu. Arigato and Gomen (Thank you and sorry)

Chap. 2

In a hovercraft above the ocean, the Z warriors traveled toward the location of the Millennial tournament. Riding inside was Goku, Gohan, Goten, Vegeta, Trunks, Bulma, Chi-Chi, Yamcha, Puar, Oolong, Master Roshi, Krillian, #18 and Marron. Piccolo would meet them there with Tien and Choazu, who were also entering the tournament.

"Man, can you believe it! 100,000,000,000 zen to the winner." Krillian said. "You gotta admit. That's a lot of money."

Gohan agreed, "Yeah, it sure is Krillian."

Krillian gave a smirk, "So Gohan, where's your girlfriend?"

Gohan look irritated, but answered anyway, "She's going to meet up there. Said something about last minute training."

Vegeta grumbled, "Why do we always have to travel in this slug machine?"

Bulma looked at him annoyed, "Because, it's better to approach unnoticed this way. No sense in drawing up a crowd."

Vegeta gave an hmph, but said no more. They approached the island and saw it surrounded by many tracks and cylinders. Monorail trains ran through them back and forth.

"Wow, look at all the trains." Goten smiled.

"Yeah, way cool!" Trunks agreed.

The hovercraft flew to the landing grounds and the team got out. They met up with Piccolo, Tien, and Choazu who was waiting nearby. Together they walked down to the tournament grounds.

"There sure are a lot of fighters."

Tien nodded, "Yeah. I've watched a lot of them come in. Some of them are no pushovers, I'll give you that."

Choazu floated by, "Yeah, especially that guy." Chaozu pointed to a cage where a green-skinnned man-beast was growling in a cage. Krillian backed away, "Whoa. That's going to fight? What kind of tournament is this?"

Piccolo looked as well, "A very interesting one as it seems. Let's register in."

"Hey, wait up!"

They turned around to see Videl run up to them.

Gohan waved, "Hey Videl. You made it."

She smiled at him, "Yep. Sorry I'm late. Did I miss anything?"

"Nah, we just got here ourselves. Are you here by yourself?"

Videl shook her head and then pointed to the far left. A crowd of people were gathered in front of an airplane. The plane doors open and out came…

"Hercule! Hercule! Hercule!"

"YEAH!!!!!!"

As he walked down the steps, reporters came up to him, "Hercule, what do you say are your chances for victory today."

"Well, not to toot my own horn, but I'd say 150% so you can expect to see your champion fight at his max today! YEAH!!!!!!"

As the crowds continued, Videl shook her head, "Everyone still believes he beat Cell and Majin Buu. That's why I left early. So I wouldn't be caught up."

Gohan shrugged, "Well, in a way, he did help beat Majin Buu when he convinced everyone to give up their energy for my dad."

Videl smiled again, "It's amazing. You guys do all the fighting, yet you don't care about what other people think."

Gohan smiled with her, "It's nothing, really."

Vegeta walked pass them, "If you two lovebirds can stop talking for a moment, we need to get to the registration desk."

They both glared at Vegeta, who gave a smirk, "Come now. No since staying here. Unless you two have other plans."

Both sighed and quietly walked along with the others. It was then when Goku suddenly felt...something. A surge of energy from somewhere.

"Hey Goku, what's up?"

"Huh? Oh nothing. We should keep going."

________

"Ryu, what is it?"

"I...nothing. We should go."

Ryu and Ken had just gotten out of the Ken luxury cruiser. With them were Chun-Li, Sakura, Sean, Kairi, Cammy, and Dan. Dan was trying to hit on Cammy and Cammy was just a hair away from beating him to within an inch of soon to be short life.

"Come on, Cam. Can I have your number at least?"

"No. Will you stop annoying me already?" She gave him a death glare and he backed off. She then sighed and looked at Chun-Li, "Why did he have to come with us?"

Chun-Li shrugged, "It was either this or him meeting us here. We figured if he came with us, he might calm down a bit." She took a brief look at him, "I may have spoken too soon."

Kairi walked up to them, "We should register in before it's too late."

"Right. Huh?" They looked over to Hercule's airplane and the crowds around him.

"So that's Hercule, huh? I heard about him."

"He's my target." Dan exclaimed. "He's supposed to be the world martial arts champion of the world. But when he faces me and my Saikyo style, then I will dethrone him and become the new champion. Hahahahahaha!!!"

Everyone tear dropped.

"Let's just go."

The group walked down to the registration and pretty soon, were surrounded by groups of fighters, many of whom they recognized, including...

"Hey, Ryu. Look who's here."

Turning to look in a shaded area, Ryu saw a tall, muscular man with an eye patch and an angry scar on his chest.

"Sagat."

"Yep. And if he's here, who knows how many others will be coming."

Ryu nodded before his focus wandered to another tall fighter, with green skin and wearing a head turban and cloak.

"Who is that?"

Sakura took a look, "I've seen him before. He was in another tournament, but I never really saw him fight. I think his name was Ma Junior or something like that."

Dan snickered, "What kind of name is that? That guy sounds like a wuss."

Little did he know that the green fighter had extremely good hearing and heard every word he said.

Is that so? Well, we'll just have to see about that.

The fighters all managed to register and they all stood in front of a massive marble building with a balcony. A gong sounded and the participants quieted. Out of the balcony, two figures came out. One was a man, medium sized, wearing a sharp business suit. The other was shrouded in a black hood and cloak. The first one raised his hand.

"Welcome to the Millennial World Warrior tournament. You are all the best of the best of the best.  Many of you are known warriors, some of you champions. I can also see that few are even legends. But titles mean nothing here. What matters are your own skills and strength, your own power and determination to forge your way to the top. May the best warrior win."

With that, the two figures turned and left and everyone was guided inside. As they entered, each fighter was handed a ticket with a number on it. There were several monorails set for transport. The monorails were to transport fighters all over the world to a fighting arena where a battle would take place. The winner is the one who either knocks out his opponent or the opponent surrenders. There are no ring-outs and nothing to determine a victory, meaning that anything goes. But the Z-fighters weren't worried. Goten couldn't wait to ride one of the monorails.

"Can we hurry? Can we go? Can we? Can we?"

Trunks held his head, "Geez, Goten. You can be such a child sometimes." Inwardly though, Trunks couldn't wait either. High above them, the spectators awaited to see the matches through massive TV screens. Chi-Chi, Bulma, Oolong, Puar, Marron and Roshi was there.

"This is so exciting. Who do you think will win, Chi-Chi?"

"Well, I'd have to say my Goku will get through." Chi-Chi said.

"Not if my Vegeta makes it first." Bulma countered.

Puar interjected, "Ah, ah. Yamacha will make through all of them."

The three of them began arguing and Oolong began to get irritated, "No! We're not going through this again. How about this? Let's have a little friendly wager on who will make it through. How's that?"

They though about it for awhile, "Deal!"

_________

The monorails shipped off with their respective groups. Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillian and Tien were on one monorail along with a few other fighters heading for a battle point.

"Hmm. I wonder where we are going." Goku thought out loud.

Krillian did a few stretches, "Wherever it is, we better be ready."

The monorail stopped suddenly stopped and the door opened. The monorail was on a sunny beach surrounded by water. It was almost like Master Roshi's island, except a little bigger and no house. A voice came over the intercom, "Fighter #34: Krillian, please exit the monorail and await battle."

Krillian cracked his knuckles, "All right. It's game time." Krillian walked out and stood in the ring. Another monorail came up and the door opened. Krillian gasped as he saw his opponent

"Fighter #41: Zangief."

_____

Elsewhere...

Ryu, Ken, Cammy and Sakura were on another monorail that just stopped. It was in an underground cavern. The door open and the com came up.

"Figher # 22: Cammy. Please exit the monorail."

Sakura held a thumbs-up, "Good luck, Cammy."

Cammy turned and did the same before stepping out. The second monorail stopped and opened.

"Fighter #13: Kerone."

Out jumped a fighter wearing white clothes and holding a bush of roses. He gave a smile and held out the roses. "I believe a woman as beautiful as you shouldn't waste time fighting. Especially since you could go out with me." His teeth sparkled. Cammy sighed inwardly and stood in battle stance. Inside the monorail, the others watched the fighters.

"How long do you think it will take for her to beat him?" Ken asked.

Sakura shrugged, "Hm. Five minutes at the most."

"I say three. She's still a little aggravated by Dan."

_____

Another monorail...

Vegeta, Goten, Trunks and #18 were heading to their battle point. With them were Chun-Li, Dan, Sean, and Kairi. The rail stopped in the middle of a wasteland and the door opened.

"Fighter #52:  Goten. Please exit the monorail."

Trunks gave a peace sign, "Go get 'em, Goten!"

"Okay."

Goten walked out as the second monorail came out. As he left, Chun-Li looked worried. "Isn't he a little young to be fighting?"

Trunks turned to her, "Nah, don't worry. Goten will be fine. It's his opponent that should worry." Chun-Li looked confused and Trunks sighed, "Just watch and see."

 The door opened and Goten opponent was announced.

"Fighter # 30: Blanka."

__________

The matches are on: The Kamesennin student Krillian vs. The Russian bear wrestler Zangief, The deadly doll Cammy vs. The aerobatic rose Kerone, and The youngest Super-Sayian Goten vs. The man-beast Blanka. And this is just the preliminaries!

Oh come on. You have to review this at least. I'm not sure if I got Kerone's name right or not. If anyone knows, please tell me. In case you don't know who it is, he's the guy who was one of Hercule's students who was blasted out of the ring from Cell's energy.
