A/n: I hope to get out a couple chapters this week since I'm on spring break, maybe finish the tournament. Hope you all enjoy!
The Tournament is Underway
Yamcha dropped into his fighting stance and the crowd hushed. Tien crossed his arms and just smirked at him.
"What do you think I'm not worthy of your time?!" Yamcha screamed, he hated it when he was mocked.
"I don't think you're worthy of the time of a rat. I'll try to make this as painless as possible."
"Okay you two," the announcer cut in with his excited voice, "start fighting!" A gong rang in the background but it signified nothing, the two fighters had already charged right as the announcer began to speak. Yamcha throw his fist right at Tien's face, but was surprised to see that he had missed.
"Is that the best that you got?" Tien gave a curt laugh, "I thought you were better than that." Yamcha spun around to punch Tien again, but he quickly moved out of the way and appeared behind him.
"HOLD STILL DAMMIT!" Yamcha spun around in pure rage, connecting his elbow to Tien's chin. Tien quickly placed his hand over the side of his chin, surprised by the fact that not only had Yamcha hit him, and even more surprised that it actually hurt! He couldn't let him get away with that.
Yamcha pulled his fist back to punch Tien again, but as he drew back too far Tien took advantage. He gave a quick jab right into Yamcha's face, then followed it with an uppercut in the stomach. Yamcha keeled over in pain, but was sent right back up by Tien's connecting to his face. He stumbled backwards and Tien dropped to the floor and kicked his legs right out from under him. Then, while Yamcha made his trip to the ground, Tien kicked him high into the air.
"Well that takes care of that." He turned to walk off the stage when he heard a voice chanting.
"Kame…hame….ha!" A blue cylinder of energy shot from the sky at Tien, who jumped to the side at the last second.
"So he can shoot blasts?" He brought his hand up to wipe the sweat off his brow, that blast had came a lot closer to him then he would have wished.
Yamcha landed gracefully in the ring across from Tien.
"Surprised?"
"Yes, but you are still no match for me."
Yamcha sunk into his infamous stance, "Well lets see what you think about this! WOLF FANG FIST!" Just as Yamcha began to charge though, Tien brought his hands to his face, "SOLAR FLARE!" A blinding light filled the arena. It lingered for a minute or two and when everyone was finally able to see without having their vision impaired by dots, they realized that the match was over. Yamcha was lying on the grass outside the ring, with much of his bones bending in the wrong direction.
Gohan grimaced at the appearance of Yamcha, then turned from his spot at the entrance to the ring and walked back to the waiting area. Goku and Krillin shot past him to go to the aide of Yamcha, along with some paramedics. Gohan preferred not to look, sure he'd seen MUCH worse things in his life but he didn't like seeing others in pain if it wasn't necessary.
He made his way to the far end of the area and leaned against the wall. He was about to drop into a meditation when he was interrupted by Jackie Chun.
"Goten, I have a question for you." Gohan didn't look up at him right away.
"HEY GOTEN!" Gohan jerked his head up after realizing that it was him that he was speaking too. He needed to make sure in the future that he paid more attention.
"What?" Gohan's voice was dry and decisive. He knew that Roshi wanted to learn all his secrets but he really didn't want to think about any of it right now. He just wanted to get on with this tournament then tell them all at once, or better yet only tell Dr. Briefs and no one else. They really didn't need to know about this.
"I was just wondering why you are here. I know you didn't just come here to fight. What is your real intentions?" There was something in his voice that Gohan did not recognize. It wasn't curiosity, and it wasn't quite anger. It seemed like a mix of rage and fear, but Gohan knew no reason why either of these should be there. He decided to avoid the question all together.
"Why's Bulma running around naked back there?" Gohan pointed with his hand towards the arena.
"WHERE?!" Chun/Roshi sprinted out to the ring where he was quite disappointed to see the only person in the ring was Wolfman.
"Well Mr. Chun, you're just in time." The announcer walked out of the ring. "Now let the fight begin!"
Gohan gave himself a small laugh and turned around to walk into the open square away from the fighting area. He didn't care much about this fight. He knew Jackie Chun would win the match easily, he'd heard many stories about this one. He always found it funny how Chun used Krillin's head as the moon, but even with the humor factored in he still didn't want to see it. It was sad to watch the fights, Gohan realized that during the first one. When he was the age of Goku he was already a super saiyan 2. And now, his father whom he looked up to all his life for his bravery, wisdom, and strength, wouldn't even be able to scratch him.
"I guess I'll have to train him there, but it's still kinda sad."
"Train who?" Goku's innocent voice rang out behind him. Gohan couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry about it little man. Let's just get back inside and watch Jackie Chun fight." Goku gave a small smile.
"Okay!" Gohan placed his hand on Goku's shoulder as the walked back into the fighting area.
'This isn't going to be that bad,' Gohan decided.
***END!***
