Disclaimer: What else could I say besides Cheena is the only character I own in this story and I do not own Dragonball Z? I guess that's it!

Hercule stood in the center of the arena floor raising his hand in victory. "Oh yeah! I'm the best!" he said. The crowd was cheering and yelling for their hero who just won the Martial Arts Tournament. Just then there was a flash and there in the ring with Hercule and the announcer stood the Z-fighters and the Supreme Kai. Everyone was in shock at the entrance of the gang including Chi-Chi, Bulma and everyone else sitting in the stands. "Now Goku comes!" Chi-Chi said with complete sarcasm. "Something doesn't seem right"said Master Roshi. Everyone kept their eyes glued on their friends down on the arena floor. "What are we doing here?" asked Cheena. "Why did Babidi bring us here?" asked Gohan. "Ah Goku! It's you!" said the announcer as he made his way over to Goku. Vegeta took notice of this and created some sort of wind to knock him away. "Watch out!" yelled Gohan as he grabbed him just in time before he blew away. "Vegeta what are you doing?" asked Cheena. "Quiet you little runt. This has nothing to do with you so bug off" and with that Vegeta created that same strong wind, knocking Cheena to the floor. "Vegeta why are you doing this?" yelled Goku. Vegeta just stared at him and smirked. "This is our destiny Kakarot. It was meant for you and I to battle and we will" "I am not going to fight you" said Goku. Vegeta maintained his smirk as he raised his arm and opened his hand towards Goku. "Ahhh!" said Goku as Vegeta shot out an energy blast. "Oh no!" said Goku as he tried to block the attack. Cheena stood and watched the blast push her father back to the edge of the arena floor. "Vegeta stop it!" she yelled. Vegeta kept going, adding more and more power to the already powerful blast. Goku couldn't hold on any longer and moved out of the way as the blast headed for the stands full of people. "NO!" shouted Cheena and Gohan as the blast hit the stands, exploding on impact. Cheena had a look of shock and anger on her face as the smoke cleared. She turned and faced Vegeta. "How could you do that? Why did you do that? Answer me!" she yelled. "Quiet!" Vegeta yelled as he moved his hand so fast that a gust of wind knocked Cheena down again. Goku landed on the arena floor and looked at the destruction Vegeta just caused.

Hercule stood wide eyed at what just happened. "Hercule do something" said the announcer hiding behind him. "Yeah Hercule! You're the champ! Protect us!" said one of the fans. Deciding he should do what a champion should do, Hercule stepped forward. "Hey buddy! It looks like you and this guy have some issues to work out so why don't you two fight it out and I will take on…" "Quiet!" Vegeta yelled silencing Hercule. "So how bout it? Shall we commence?" said Vegeta to Goku. All eyes were on Goku, awaiting his response. Goku just stared at Vegeta with anger in his eyes. "This isn't the time Vegeta" said Goku. "You'll fight with me Kakarot unless you want another part of the stadium destroyed" Goku just looked at Vegeta. All of a sudden Vegeta, still looking at Goku, raised one of his arms and opened his hand towards a side of the stadium. "Vegeta no!" shouted Cheena as Vegeta released an energy blast that destroyed another part of the stadium. Anger overwhelmed Cheena as she watched the blast hit the stands. What angered her even more was that the blast was inches from her mom and friends. Acting on impulse Cheena ran towards Vegeta and grabbed his arm. "Stop this!" she yelled. Vegeta looked down at her with a smirk on his face and then with out warning he pulled his hand away and brought it back across Cheena's face. Cheena slid across the floor and laid still for a moment. Goku looked at his daughter, lying on the arena floor, and decided that enough was enough. He tightly raised his clenched fists and turned into a Super Sayian. Vegeta just stood still chuckling to himself. Gohan ran over to Cheena and propped her head up. "Cheena! Are you ok?" Cheena stirred before she sat up. She held her check and looked at Vegeta. Gohan helped her to her feet as she kept her eyes on Vegeta. "Che, are you ok?" he asked again. "Yeah, I'm fine!" she said. Goku turned and looked at his daughter. He saw the look of anger, fear and hurt in her eyes and that just made him even more upset.

Babidi stood watching the action with a grin on his face. "It won't be long now" said Dabura as Babidi just started laughing. Back at the arena the Supreme Kai was trying to talk some sense into Goku. "Goku you can't! If you fight him now you'll be doing exactly what Babidi wishes. Every bit of energy you lose will be sent to the ship and Buu will be revived" Goku wasn't even paying attention to the Kai but kept his attention on Vegeta. "So what's it going to be Kakarot?" asked Vegeta. Goku was just getting even more upset. "Babidi! Transport us to a place away from people. If you give me that then I will fight Vegeta" he yelled. Everyone looked at him in shock. "Dad no!" said Gohan. Back at the ship Babidi and Dabura were extremely happy. "They're starting to fall apart" said Babidi with a huge grin on his face. "So be it!" yelled the Kai back at the arena. Goku and everyone looked at him. "If you want to fight him, you'll have to come thru me" he said as he stood between Goku and Vegeta with his arms spread out. Cheena looked at the Kai and smiled. She ran over and stood in front of him. "And that goes for me too! Dad you and Vegeta can't do this. Think about what will happen if Buu is revived" Gohan looked at his sister in shock. * She's actually standing up to dad.* he thought. "Don't do this Supreme Kai and Cheena get out of the way" said Goku. Cheena looked up at the Kai then back to her dad. "Sorry dad! We don't have any other choice" said Cheena. Goku just looked at the two figures in front of him as he dropped his hands to his side. "Neither do I!" he said as he raised his right arm slowly. Everyone looked at him, wondering what he was about to do. Goku raised his arm in front of both the Kai and Cheena. Suddenly he raised his hand and pointed his palm out towards Cheena and the Kai. Vegeta's face went from amused to shock. Goku started up a white energy blast pointed straight at the two people in front of him. "Dad, you can't!" yelled Gohan as he looked at his dad then at his sister and the Kai.

Cheena looked at her dad and his forming ki ball. * I know dad wouldn't hurt me and I know he's trying to scare me but I will not give in. I care about both of them and I can't let this happen * she thought as she firmly held her ground. The Kai on the other hand was shaking as he watched Goku's ki ball get stronger and stronger. Slowly the Kai dropped his hands. "Do as you wish" Cheena turned around and looked at him. "What!" she said. "We can't stop him Cheena! Your dad is hell-bent on fighting Vegeta and we can't stand in the way of that" Cheena was in shock. "What are you talking about? We can't let them fight! Help me stop them Supreme Kai" she said. The Kai looked at Goku and slowly walked away. "I'm sorry Supreme Kai" said Goku. "So am I" he replied. Cheena couldn't believe what she was seeing. She was only 7 and she was willing to challenge her father's threat and the all powerful Kai was backing down. "I can't believe this!" she said. Goku turned and looked at her. "Cheena I want you to get out of here" he said. Cheena tightened her fists and looked at him. "I can't do that dad. I'm not going to lose you before your time is up. I'm sticking by you and there is nothing you can do about that" Goku just stared at Cheena as a small smile crept on his face.

Back at the ship Babidi was jumping and laughing for joy. "Do you see them going at each other's throat" he said. "It won't be long now and soon Buu will be revived" said Dabura. "I'll move them seeing as how it will pay off later" said Babidi as he stood in front of the ball, reciting some magic words. Everyone stood watching Goku and Vegeta. As quickly as they came the gang disappeared leaving Hercule and the announcer in shock. "Hey they've disappeared!" said the announcer. Hercule just nodded his head in agreement, still in shock over what he just witnessed.
