Summary: An amazed little Goku The elimination rounds... Hehehe
Note: READ Kitana Chan FICS! READ THEM ALL! Also I have change some things
around when it comes to the tournament. So don't fuss :)
Sorry this took so long but my beta reader was very busy. Please don't be mad! --------------
"Goku, get over it! It was just a plane!" exclaimed Chichi. She rolled her eyes as the boy continued to rant about the big bird that flew. ::I can't believe I'm actually... umm... That I like this kid.:: She still wasn't sure if she 'loved him'. But then again, she was very sure. She just didn't want to admit it. Bulma had lots of fun pointing it out to her over the months they had spent together, though.
It was nighttime by the time they reached South City. Krillen complained about how sleepy he was and Bulma did the same. They only received a glare from Chichi and a shout from Roshi.
"Stop complaining! Warriors don't complain!" he stated. Bulma rolled her eyes.
"Well, this warrior right here complains, so leave me alone or I'll kick your ass!"
Roshi rolled his eyes at her comment. It was true she had gotten a little full of herself over the past months. Especially when she discovered that she could control her ki draining skill. But she still had to remember that every thing had its faults and that he was STILL her teacher!
Chichi giggled a little and pulled her hair out of its bun. She had acquired a habit of wearing it like that. "Bulma, stop picking. And I hate to say the complaining is getting on my nerves too."
"Aww... shut up!" Bulma grumbled and then laughed.
"Wow..." Goku whispered. "Look at all these people. And all these lights and WOW."
Bulma reached over and put her hand atop his head. "You oughta come to my town. There are a lot of people there. Remember, I told you about it a few days ago." Goku nodded.
"But I'm still surprised at how many people are here. Wow."
Chichi sighed. The poor boy. He didn't get out much.
At that very moment, a guy with a bullhorn announced that the registration deadline was at midnight. After hearing this, they headed over to the registration table.
Roshi leaned over the desk and spoke saying, "We would like to enter."
"What's your name?" asked the man. Roshi laughed.
"Oh no, lad. I'm not entering! These four are." The man leaned over and looked down. His eyes fell upon a young girl and two boys. He then looked upwards to see another girl who looked to be around the age of sixteen. He raised an eyebrow.
"These children are entering?" he said with shock.
Chichi growled and just as she was about to yell at him Roshi held his hands up. "Yes, sir. They are entering."
The man snickered a little, as he looked them over. The oldest girl looked a little too girly to be able to do anything.
"Fine, fine. What is your name?"
"Krillen."
"Goku."
"Chichi!"
"Bulma."
------------------------
"Puar, where is Inme?" Yamcha questioned.
"I think she is somewhere with Oolong. Want me to go find them?"
"Yea." Yamcha looked forward and was shocked when his eyes fell upon Goku. "I'll be waiting at the registration table," he mumbled. Puar nodded and flew off.
Yamcha, however, screamed Goku's name. The boy looked up at him and frowned in confusion. He walked up to them and was surprised when he saw Bulma, a bald boy, and Chichi. He frowned. Not Chichi!
"Hey Goku!" Yamcha shouted while paying no mind to Chichi. He gave Bulma a quick wave, but she only raised an eyebrow while Chichi growled and stomped over to Goku's side.
"Who are you?" Goku asked. Yamcha laughed.
"You should remember me."
"I should?" The naive boy blinked and tilted his head to his side.
"Yea Goku. It's Yamcha, remember?" Bulma giggled.
"OH! Yamcha! Hey!" Goku shouted with new realization.
"I didn't recognize you because your hair is different!" He grinned. "Oh yea, this is Krillen!" He pointed to Krillen who gave a polite bow of the head. "And you already know Bulma." She gave a wink from her spot next to Krillen. "And you know Chichi." She, however, only growled. She looked forward to fighting him. A smirk suddenly grew on her face.
"Yammy!" shouted a voice. They turned around to see Puar and Oolong running up to them, while behind them was a brown haired girl wearing a pink shirt and a pair of baggy pants. She smiled and latched onto Yamcha's shirt from the back.
"Sorry we're late! I went to the little tea shop and..." She blinked and looked up at the five people who were watching her. "Uh?"
"Hey Bulma," snorted Oolong. Puar said the same and gave a wave.
"Hi!" Bulma winked. "And who are you?" she said sweetly.
"I am. umm. Inme. Who are you?"
"Bulma."
"Oh. And you?"
Chichi blinked. "Me? Oh, yeah, I'm Chichi. Hi." She gave a forced yawn. Bulma rolled her eyes. That girl sure knew how to give a bad impression. But, then again, she wasn't any better.
Inme smiled. "Well nice to meet you. I'm also Yammy's girl friend." She gave him a tighter hug. Krillen frowned at the fact that no one was paying him any attention, but didn't bother with it.
"And I am guessing that you and Krillen will be fighting in the tournament?" Yamcha pointed out.
They nodded.
"AND... we will be as well." Chichi ground out. She was a little mad, still. Yamcha blushed.
"Of course you will." He eyed Bulma for a second until she glared at him, quickly turning his head. "I wasn't leaving you guys out. I just wasn't sure about you two fighting. You do know that you will be the only females in the tournament. Well, at least you are the only ones I have seen so far."
"I see. Well, that makes it more fun!" Bulma shouted. "We get to beat the crap outta a whole lot of disgusting men!" Chichi also joined in with her friend's cheer of victory.
----------------------------
The next day came, and everyone was ready to go.
"Don't get lost while looking around," ordered Roshi. "And follow me." The four did as they were told as the guy with the bullhorn announced that the preliminary rounds would begin in the Competition Hall.
"Come on, let's go!" Krillen shouted. This was taking a little to long. He was ready to fight. Roshi lead them over to the Hall, spoke with the man and than turned to his students.
"It is now time for me to leave. You, my students, are now on your own." He turned to leave and then remembered. Roshi opened up his case and pulled out at four orange fighting uniforms. "You guys can't fight in what you are wearing." He said while referring to Goku's and Krillen's suits. Bulma and Chichi frowned as they took them. Bulma could only think about how 'out of fashion' they were while Chichi just wanted to wear her Amazon suit. They however took them with two fake smiles.
"The nine competitors that pass the preliminaries will fight in the tournament in the big arena in front of all of the spectators. I will be watching from there. So if you make it I will be very pleased." They all nodded.
---------------------------------
In the Hall there were many fighters. Goku and Krillen could feel themselves getting nervous.
"Where is Bulma and Chichi?" Krillen asked. "The man with the bullhorn announced that the preliminaries round would begin." Goku shrugged.
"They said they had to change." Goku answered. At that very moment Bulma and Chichi ran up beside them, out of breath.
"Sorry it took so long. Bulma had to find her capsules." Chichi explained. The boys didn't answer though. They were to busy looking over Bulma's and Chichi's outfits. And they weren't wearing the orange training gi.
"Umm. What are you two wearing?" Krillen questioned.
Chichi shot him a look. "I am wearing what I always wear." She said, referring to her Amazon suit. It had a few adjustments to it. She no longer wore the cap and there was a black bandanna around her neck. Bulma had a pair of black baggy pants on with a red tank top that said 'Princess' and around her neck was a blue bandanna. The boys could only guess that they planned that one out.
"So you're fighting in that, Bulma?" asked Krillen.
Bulma frowned and slapped him on the head. "What do you think, cue ball! There is nothing wrong with this." She stuck her tongue out.
------------------------
"You can not enter!"
"Wha?" Inme whined. She knew she should have trained. If only she wasn't afraid to see blood. "That is not fair! I wanna come in! PLEASE!"
"No."
"Please!!!"
"NO!"
Inme let out a loud whine before stomping back over to Oolong and Puar's side. "There's gotta be some way to get in. Lets go around. There might be some trap door." Oolong rolled his eyes.
"How about we just look in through the window over there."
"Yeah," Puar added.
"But I wanna see Yammy!" Inme screamed. And the fact that other girl was in there with him made her shake in fear. Yamcha had talked about her before and she didn't like it!
"Inme, we can see Yamcha from the window. So, let's just look in through there."
"I-I... fine." She gave up in defeat. But Yammy had better not go with anyone else. She didn't like getting dumped.
---------------------------
"The preliminary round is divided up into four blocks of competition. The top three fighters from each of the blocks go on to the championship tournament. The competitors will fight one on one on each of four raised platforms. The first to fall off, pass out, or say, 'I give up' is the loser, and will be eliminated from competition. You may not kill your opponent, nor may you use weapons. The fight will last one minute, and if a winner is not decided by that time, the judges will decide who goes on. You must draw numbers in order to be placed into one of the four blocks."
"Well, he sure said a lot." Krillen commented.
They walked over to the box and each pulled a number.
"I got seventy," Goku stated.
"I got ninety-three," Krillen muttered.
Yamcha looked thoughtful for a moment before speaking. "That mean you will both be in the third block."
"Does that mean I will have to fight Goku?" Krillen choked out. Chichi snickered.
"Nope, the numbers are way too far away, stop worrying," she said. Krillen let out a happy breath.
"Ooh. I got fifty-one," Bulma shouted. "Chichi, pull yours."
She did as she was told. "I got... twenty-four."
"What block are we in, 'Yammy'." Bulma purred. She was making fun of his new nickname, much to his displeasure.
He coughed before blushing. "Uh, well. You should be in the fourth block, while Chichi should be in the first."
"Yea! That is way cool. We don't have to worry about fighting each other yet." Chichi winked.
"And what did you get Yamcha?" Goku asked.
"I got fifty-three. I shouldn't have to worry about fighting any of you yet. But I am in the second block."
"Oh are you scared of fighting us?" Chichi urged him to speak. She narrowed her black eyes with a smirk.
"Actually, I just don't want to waste my time fighting any of you in these rounds. It won't be worth it." Chichi crossed her arms.
"Whatever."
"But," Yamcha added, "I'll be looking forward to fight you and beating you."
"And what about me?" Bulma said loudly. You don't think I can win?"
"Umm, well I didn't say that." Yamcha stuttered, but he was thinking that. Anyone who would look at her would laugh at the idea of her beating or fighting any one. It was the same with Chichi, but he knew very well she could fight.
Bulma growled. "Okay than. Whatever you say. Yammy..."
---------------------
"Fighters seventy and sixty-three up!" shouted the man.
"Go on, Goku!" Chichi pushed him onto the stage. He smiled and waved before taking his place.
Yamcha stood next to Bulma waiting and watching. She eyed him for a moment before giggling.
"What?"
"I think your little girl friend is a bit jealous," Bulma pointed out. He looked over to see Inme looking through a large window; a frown planted on her face as she glared. Yamcha coughed and moved away from Bulma while Bulma laughed her head off.
"Hey Bulma hush! Goku is about to fight!" Chichi hissed.
"Oh, well sorry. You're a little jumpy aren't you?"
"Shhh."
"Okay okay!"
Goku's opponent stepped up. He was a HUGE fighter with a bushy mustache and baldhead. He complained about how it is an insult to fight such a weak opponent. Goku frowned at the insult.
"Go!" shouted the ref.
Goku rocketed forward at the guy, and ended up going right past him. The guy tried to grab him, but was shocked when he saw nothing between his hands. Goku stood behind him and frowned. He didn't know where he was. Goku reached out and tapped him on the back of the leg to get his attention.
But, due to Roshi's intense training that tiny tap was enough to knock the guy off balance. He fell right over the edge of the platform. Everyone witnessing it just stood there with their eyes wide open in shock and disbelief.
"I- uh. number seventy is the winner!"
Goku could hear the other fighter muttering how he must have lost his balance. Hmmm. He would have to watch his strength. He jumped down and was greeted by a hug from Chichi.
"You won! Yea!"
"Thanks," Goku said with a blush.
"It was a good thing that he lost his balance," Krillen added.
"But he didn't," Goku urged. Krillen gave him a strange look.
"What are you talking about?" Bulma questioned.
"I just tapped him. We have to not use our full strength if our opponent is weaker." Goku pointed out. "We might hurt them." They nodded while Yamcha looked at them in shock.
Just how strong were they?
