Chapter Two
Who Fights With Who?
"Trunks, Trunks! Wake up!" A little girl that was a mirror image of Bulma only smaller and younger shook her brother's back and shoulders. He stirred a little and opened his eyes tiredly.
"What? What?" He slurred still half asleep. His voice was hoarse and quiet and the little girl giggled at her brother.
"Trunks, mama said for you to wake up. She has to talk to you." She pulled on his arm and he gave up trying to go back to sleep. She wouldn't let him. So he sat upright and let his little sister pull him out of his bed and his room.
"Where are we going Bra?"
"To mama." He whined while his little sister was holding onto his hand and dragging him downstairs to the kitchen clad in boxers. They arrived in the kitchen and Bra lightly set him in a chair.
"Here he is mama." Trunks smacked his head on the table and started to fall back to sleep.
"Trunks! Wake up right now!" His head flipped up in a matter of seconds and he lifted his hands to his ears to block out the yelling of his mother.
"Trunks. Do you know what time it is?"
"Huh? No."
"It's 10:17 and the tournament starts at 11 o'clock. Now go get ready!" Trunk's eyes widened and he zipped back up the stairs to get ready. Fifteen minutes later, he sprinted into the kitchen wearing a black sleeveless shirt with the word Capsule Corp. on it and black baggy pants.
"Ready. How bout you guys?" Everyone was in the kitchen just glaring at him.
"We've been ready Trunks. Let's go!" Bulma yelled in fury. She knew they were going to be late now, unless they fly twice as fast as the speed limit. She picked up a couple of pop-tarts for Trunks to eat on the way and stalked out of the kitchen followed by Vegeta. Bra skipped over to Trunks and grabbed his hand. He looked down at her cute face and she was smiling at him. Trunks smiled back and they walked out to the helicopter they were going to fly in to get there. In a matter of minutes, they were off and on their way to the tournament.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Goten opened his eyes wearily and sat upright in his bed. He yawned and stretched his arms towards the ceiling. His eyes wandered slowly over to the clock on his nightstand and it read 9:23 a.m. His eyes widened and he remembered that the tournament started at 11 o'clock. He jumped out of bed and into his bathroom to clean up. After about 10 minutes, he emerged from his bathroom and ran over to his closet to take out his fighting gi. The gi had an orange top that dipped from his shoulders to the middle of his chest and long orange baggy pants that was accompanied with a black belt. He quickly dried his hair and ran downstairs for breakfast. His parents were in the kitchen, his mother, Chi-Chi, was making breakfast and flipping bacon on a pan. She had raven black hair, black onyx eyes, and was quite petite. His father, Goku, was sitting at the table doing nothing and just waiting for his food. He had black spiky hair that went flying in all directions and black ebony eyes. He was very muscular and wearing his light blue gi. Goten smiled at his parents as soon as they caught sight of him walking into the room.
"Hey dad! Hey mom! What's for breakfast?"
"Well, we're having eggs, bacon, toast, sausage, ham, and pancakes. Sit down, they're almost done." Chi-Chi explained. Goten sat down in a chair and leaned back to let the fresh scent of meat fill his senses.
"So Goten, are you ready for today?" Goku asked while watching his son.
"Yea. Marron and her friend are going to be there and we're goin somewhere after the tournament."
"Really? You and Marron? I never thought you'd see the day. I always thought you two would make such a great couple. And now it is about to happen. First it'll be dates, next you'll get engaged, and then married, and finally, GRANDCHILDREN!!!" Goten and Goku stared at Chi-Chi dumbfounded as she was in another world of dreams.
"Umm...whatever mom." Chi-Chi knocked herself out of her daydream and smiled at her two boys. She placed all of the food on plates and brought it over to the table for the two starving Saiyans.
"Ok, now you two eat up. I wouldn't want my boys to starve while fighting." Goku and Goten dug into their food like there was no tomorrow and Chi-Chi stared at them in disgust. They weren't even using table manners and food was being thrown all over the place. Chi-Chi quickly left the kitchen so as not to disturb the eating Saiyans and stalked over to her room to get ready. After 10 minutes, Goku and Goten were done eating and Chi-Chi was almost done getting ready.
"Me and Dad are gonna wait out in the car. Ok, mom?" Goten didn't even wait for an answer as he and his father ran out of the house and into the car. Chi-Chi was putting in an earring and walked into the kitchen.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!! GOKU!!! GOTEN!!!" Goku and Goten both looked at each other and slumped back farther into their chair. Chi-Chi quickly cleaned up the huge mess of food on the table and floor and put all of the dishes in the dishwasher. She checked to see if everything was in order and nodded her head in affirmation. She locked the door and stomped over to the car where her husband and youngest son were hiding in fear. She violently opened the car door and hopped in. She glared at the two before starting the car and driving off to the tournament.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They all made it to the tournament and met up with everyone else.
"Hey guys! Hey Goku, how've you been? I haven't seen you in a long time." Krillin asked Goku.
"I know. It's been too long. But I've been training."
"That's the only reason why we haven't seen you? Training? Gosh Goku. That is a sad reason."
"I know, but it's true. Plus, I've been busy with pan and Goten too!"
"Oh cool. How ya doin Goten?"
"Good. How about you Krillin?"
"Great! Hey, have you seen Marron at all today? She and her friend Mika should be here. Mika better hurry though, if she wants to sign up that is."
"No. I haven't." Just then two blonde and raven haired girls came running up to the gang.
"Hey daddy! Everyone!" Everyone waved to Marron.
"Hey Marron. Wow, you've grown a lot!" Chi-Chi noticed.
"I know. Oh this is my friend Mika. She's gonna enter the tournament."
"Hi Mika! Nice to meet you."
"Hey! What's up?" Everyone said hi to Mika and Vegeta just eyed her curiously. Who was this girl? She looked familiar to him, but then again, a lot of people do, but she stands out a lot.
"So you're going to enter the contest?" Bulma questioned.
"Yea. I've been training for all of my life and now, I'm going to fight. I couldn't do it last time they had it, since there was no junior championship for the girls. Only the boys."
"I know. Those guys should know how it feels to get their ass whooped by a girl. You go out there and show them what it is all about." Bulma winked at her and gave her thumbs up. Mika returned the gestures and they giggled. Trunks walked up to Mika and Bulma left the two to talk.
"So Mika. Are you ready for today?"
"Yup. Are you?"
"Yea."
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Who is that guy?" Mika pointed straight at Vegeta.
"That's my dad, Vegeta. Why?"
"Because he's been staring at me the whole time, I've been here."
"Ohh." Trunks glared at his father who was staring at the two and he glared right back and turned his head the other way. Mika saw the two glare at each other, but left it alone. It wasn't her problem, was it? Trunks looked back at her.
"Sorry about that. He just likes to see what other competition he has."
"Ohhh. Yea, well, my father should be here soon. He isn't going to enter because he wanted me to have a good chance at winning, so he'll be in the stands. You should meet him."
"Uhh...heh heh! Well, if that's what you want." Trunks shrugged and rested his hand behind his head Goku style. Well, what guy isn't nervous to meet the girl of his dreams father? Well, just because Trunks is Saiyan, doesn't mean he isn't afraid of some things.
"Ok, let's sign in first and then you'll meet him."
"Ok. Let's sign in everyone!" Trunks yelled to the rest of his friends. They all nodded and strolled over to the sign in table. They all signed in and wished each other luck.
"Good luck Goten!" Marron chirped at Goten. He waved his hand at her and smiled. Mika spotted her father in the stands and pulled Trunks arm. They ran into the stands and over to the big burly man.
"Hi dad! This is my friend Trunks, Trunks this is my dad." The two guys shook hands and eyed each other.
"Hi Trunks, nice to meet you. Are you entering the tournament?"
"Yes sir. How come you aren't?"
"Well, I wanted to give my little girl here a chance to win. I guess you'll be good competition by the way you look. You train?"
"Yes. I train with my father who is also entering."
"Oh, where is he?" Trunks pointed out his father on the stadium floor down in the center of the stadium. The man narrowed his eyes to get a better look at the man and his eyes widened a bit.
"What is your father's name?"
"Vegeta."
"I knew he was here." The man whispered. Trunks heard that sentence with his sensitive hearing and placed a confused look on his face.
"So, I think you two should get out there. Don't want to be disqualified now. Good luck Mika."
"Bye dad!"
"Nice to meet you sir."
"Call me Seito." Trunks nodded and ran after Mika. Seito shook his head and glanced over to Vegeta.
"It's time you knew you're not alone Prince Vegeta." Mika and Trunks sprinted over to the stadium floor and met up with all of the other competitors. The two ran over to Goten who was gesturing for them to come over to him.
"Hey man. Where were you two?"
"Well, Mika brought me over to her father to meet him."
"Oh. Well, the elimination round is about to begin."
"Ok everyone! Will the competitors please step into the building for the elimination round." The announcer remarked into the microphone. All of the fighters pondered into the big building and waited to fight. After three hours, twelve fighters came out of the building and stepped onto the white platform yet once again.
"Ok, these are the final 12 competitors in the tournament. Goku, Goten, Wild Tiger, Trunks, Norig, Mika, Vegeta, Pan, Buu, Uub, Yako, and Sano! Let's give these people a round of applause." Everyone in the audience clapped their hands and whistled at the fighters.
"Ok, now whoever wins out of the twelve of you gets to fight the great World Champion Hercule himself." The audience applauded once again.
"Ok, now it is time to pick your opponent." A man rolled out a cart with a box on top of it right in front of the fighters.
"Ok, now I'll call your names and you have to pick a ball with a number on it and tell me what the number is. First up, Goten." Goten walked up to the box and plunged his hand inside of the box. He pulled out a ball and looked at the number.
"Six."
"Ok, Norig."
"Eight."
"Pan."
"One."
"Vegeta."
"Twelve."
"Trunks."
"Seven."
"Wild Tiger."
"Two."
"Well, the first fight goes to Pan and Wild Tiger."
"Oh great. Now look what I'm up against. This'll be embarrassing." Wild Tiger growled.
"Ok, Yako."
"Eleven."
"Mika."
"Three."
"Sano."
"Four."
"Buu."
"Five."
"Goku."
"Nine."
"Uub."
"Ten."
"Ok, well the match ups are Pan and Wild Tiger, then Mika and Sano, then Goten and Buu, then Trunks and Norig, then Goku and Uub, and finally Yako and Vegeta. Ok you guys-"AND GIRL!!" Interrupted Mika. "And girl have five minutes to stretch and get acquainted with your opponent." The fighters each just stood in there usual spot or went to go talk to their friends or opponent. Mika stood a couple of yards away from Trunks and Goten so they could talk by themselves. She felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned her gaze to the guy behind her.
"So, I guess we're gonna be fighting together baby. Do wanna go out and see a movie after this tournament is over?"
"No thanks and don't call me baby."
"Oh, playing hard to get I see. I can deal with that. Are you sure? I'll go easy on you if you know what I mean!"
"I said no. Do you understand what that means? I already have plans after this tournament, so leave me alone."
"No? Hmm. I don't think I know what no means since not one girl has ever said no to me before. Don't make me take you on by force."
"Go ahead, you'll regret it." Her opponent, Sano, smirked behind her and whispered sweet talk into her ear, and then he pinched her rear. Mika jumped in surprise and growled. She turned around to look him straight in the eyes and punched him lightly in the face. Well, it looked light, but Sano went flying into the wall behind them. Everyone's eyes widened in shock at what Mika just did. It took a couple of seconds for the medics to understand what just happened and then ran over with a stretcher to get him out of the wall he just flew into. The paramedics pried him out of the brick wall and he fell into the stretcher. Just then, another crash sounded from on the other side of the stadium. Another competitor was thrown into a sign. He left a trail of smoke that led up to Vegeta who still had his hand in a fist beside his head. Trunks looked at Mika and then at his dad and ran over to Mika.
"What happened?"
"Well, he got on my nerves and he tried to hit on me, so I punched him and gravity took its toll." Trunks eyes widened and then he scowled.
"Are you ok? Did he so anything?"
"No, just pinched my ass, but you know, I told him he'd regret it." Trunks scowl turned into a smirk. "It looks like your dad didn't like his opponent either."
"I guess not. If I'm correct, I think you two will be fighting together." Trunks eyes lowered to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
"Well, he's very strong and I don't want him to hurt you cause believe me, he will." Mika smiled faintly and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry Trunks; I can take care of myself. Ok?" He shook his
head in reassurance.
"Ok ladies and gentlemen, it looks like Mika and Vegeta had a problem with their opponents Sano and Yako and they are both unconscious. So it looks like Vegeta and Mika are going to be fighting in the second match together. You have two minutes left to prepare for your matches." The announcer announced. Mika suddenly felt someone's ki higher a little bit and she whipped her head to look into the audience. She saw her father with his fists clenched and she put a confused look on her face. Why is he so nervous? Mika shrugged and stuck that thought into the back of her mind. Right now she had to concentrate on the tournament and her match to come.
"Ok your two minutes are up. Will all of the competitors please step into the viewing building and you all can stand in the front of the building to observe the matches." All of the fighters strolled into the viewing building and waited for further directions. Goten jogged over to Trunks and Mika and they walked into the building together. The 'gang' met up in a corner of the building and started talking.
"So, now you and Mika are going to fight Vegeta. That's really cool." Goku remarked. Mika looked at him and he did the same to her.
"Will you put up a good fight?"
"It depends. If you fight well, then yes, but if you toy with me, no I won't bother." Vegeta smirked.
"Sounds fair enough. So where did you learn how to punch like that? I've never seen a measly human actually punch someone of adequate speed."
"Well, um. I train with my father 24/7 and it's in my blood to fight." Vegeta eyed her suspiciously. Something just wasn't right with her. She was stronger than any normal human, even Krillin and still she is only around 15 years of age. He was definitely going to have to watch out for that in battle.
"Hey Pan! Looks like you fight first!" Goku happily announced.
"Yea grandpa! You'll watch me fight, right?!"
"Of course Pan. I wouldn't miss it for the world!" Pan jumped into Goku's arms and gave him a hug.
"Will Pan and Wild Tiger please report to the fighting grounds." The announcer demanded into his microphone.
"That's you Pan! Go and fight fair. Good luck!"
"Thanks grandpa!" Pan skipped out of the room and onto the path out to the fighting grounds/stadium floor. Wild Tiger was right behind her and mumbling things about little girls and how embarrassing this will be. They made it up to the white tiled floor and waited there for their fight to begin.

Who Fights With Who?
"Trunks, Trunks! Wake up!" A little girl that was a mirror image of Bulma only smaller and younger shook her brother's back and shoulders. He stirred a little and opened his eyes tiredly.
"What? What?" He slurred still half asleep. His voice was hoarse and quiet and the little girl giggled at her brother.

"To mama." He whined while his little sister was holding onto his hand and dragging him downstairs to the kitchen clad in boxers. They arrived in the kitchen and Bra lightly set him in a chair.
"Here he is mama." Trunks smacked his head on the table and started to fall back to sleep.
"Trunks! Wake up right now!" His head flipped up in a matter of seconds and he lifted his hands to his ears to block out the yelling of his mother.
"Trunks. Do you know what time it is?"
"Huh? No."
"It's 10:17 and the tournament starts at 11 o'clock. Now go get ready!" Trunk's eyes widened and he zipped back up the stairs to get ready. Fifteen minutes later, he sprinted into the kitchen wearing a black sleeveless shirt with the word Capsule Corp. on it and black baggy pants.
"Ready. How bout you guys?" Everyone was in the kitchen just glaring at him.
"We've been ready Trunks. Let's go!" Bulma yelled in fury. She knew they were going to be late now, unless they fly twice as fast as the speed limit. She picked up a couple of pop-tarts for Trunks to eat on the way and stalked out of the kitchen followed by Vegeta. Bra skipped over to Trunks and grabbed his hand. He looked down at her cute face and she was smiling at him. Trunks smiled back and they walked out to the helicopter they were going to fly in to get there. In a matter of minutes, they were off and on their way to the tournament.

"So Goten, are you ready for today?" Goku asked while watching his son.
"Yea. Marron and her friend are going to be there and we're goin somewhere after the tournament."

Chi-Chi quickly cleaned up the huge mess of food on the table and floor and put all of the dishes in the dishwasher. She checked to see if everything was in order and nodded her head in affirmation.

"It's time you knew you're not alone Prince Vegeta." Mika and Trunks sprinted over to the stadium floor and met up with all of the other competitors. The two ran over to Goten who was gesturing for them to come over to him.

"Ok, Yako."
"Eleven."
"Mika."
"Three."
"Sano."
"Four."
"Buu."
"Five."
"Goku."
"Nine."
"Uub."
"Ten."

So it looks like Vegeta and Mika are going to be fighting in the second match together. You have two minutes left to prepare for your matches." The announcer announced. Mika suddenly felt someone's ki higher a little bit and she whipped her head to look into the audience. She saw her father with his fists clenched and she put a confused look on her face. Why is he so nervous? Mika shrugged and stuck that thought into the back of her mind. Right now she had to concentrate on the tournament and her match to come.
"Ok your two minutes are up. Will all of the competitors please step into the viewing building and you all can stand in the front of the building to observe the matches." All of the fighters strolled into the viewing building and waited for further directions. Goten jogged over to Trunks and Mika and they walked into the building together. The 'gang' met up in a corner of the building and started talking.
"So, now you and Mika are going to fight Vegeta. That's really cool." Goku remarked. Mika looked at him and he did the same to her.
"Will you put up a good fight?"
"It depends. If you fight well, then yes, but if you toy with me, no I won't bother." Vegeta smirked.
"Sounds fair enough. So where did you learn how to punch like that? I've never seen a measly human actually punch someone of adequate speed."
"Well, um. I train with my father 24/7 and it's in my blood to fight." Vegeta eyed her suspiciously. Something just wasn't right with her. She was stronger than any normal human, even Krillin and still she is only around 15 years of age. He was definitely going to have to watch out for that in battle.
"Hey Pan! Looks like you fight first!" Goku happily announced.
"Yea grandpa! You'll watch me fight, right?!"
"Of course Pan. I wouldn't miss it for the world!" Pan jumped into Goku's arms and gave him a hug.
"Will Pan and Wild Tiger please report to the fighting grounds." The announcer demanded into his microphone.
"That's you Pan! Go and fight fair. Good luck!"
"Thanks grandpa!" Pan skipped out of the room and onto the path out to the fighting grounds/stadium floor. Wild Tiger was right behind her and mumbling things about little girls and how embarrassing this will be. They made it up to the white tiled floor and waited there for their fight to begin.
