When Vegeta and Gohan arrived at the location for the first test, they found themselves at a large planet with lots of other ships orbiting it. After a few minutes they received a communication that told them there was a line of groups waiting to get into the test area and it would be almost 2 days before they would get their chance. However, there was a large space station that they could board if they wished while they were waiting, so Vegeta decided to check out the competition.
Gohan and Vegeta wandered away from each other after a word of advice from Vegeta, "Stay out of trouble, brat." Gohan wandered down the halls just looking at the different races that were there. He enjoyed seeing all the strange people and listening to them talk in their own languages. "Maybe I need to get Vegeta to teach me some of these other languages." Gohan thought, "It might come in handy at some point."
Just then Gohan walked around a corner and bumped into someone standing there. The alien looked down at him and growled "Watch where you are going, runt." He started to say "Sorry" when he glanced up and saw who he bumped into.
With a look of surprise he stumbled back a couple and started to raise his arms to a defensive position when his brain caught up with him again. "You look like Freiza!" In fact the monster looked like Frieza in his second transformation.
Then another alien that looked the same jumped out of a nearby doorway and asked, "How do you know Lord Freiza?"
Gohan stood there with his mouth hanging open as 2 more of them also walked up. Suddenly he was facing 4 copies of Freiza that all had their attention focused on him.
The first one spoke again. "Have you met Lord Freiza?"
Gohan managed to shut his mouth and turned it into a grin. "I guess you could say that. I traded a few punches with him."
The other 4 looked shocked. "You fought Freiza? And you are still alive to talk about it?"
Gohan's grin got a little bigger. "Sure. Freiza was surprised at how much of a punch I had." Then his grin faded a little. "Even so, I was only able to just hang on until my dad got there. Then he beat Freiza!"
One of the others stepped forward and pointed at Gohan. "No way! There is no way that Frieza could ever loose to a monkey like you. And I will prove it!" And he started to drop into a fighting stance when he was stopped.
"Hey, we are not allowed to fight here. Not if we want to fight in the tournament."
"Grrr. And I wanted a little exercise."
"How about the sparring chamber?"
"Hey, that's a good idea. Is it available?"
"Yea, I think so!"
Meanwhile, Gohan was standing there trying to follow as all 4 of them started talking at once. "What sparring chamber?" he asked.
The first one turned back and said, "They setup several rooms where we can fight tournament style matches while we wait for our turn at the trials. There is one open near here. You up for a little match?"
Gohan nodded.
"Okay then. Go get your teammates and meet us in 10 minutes. We will see what you can do."
Gohan stopped. "Um. I am not sure where my team mate is. It might take me a while to find him."
The 4 figures smiled at each other. "Aw, the poor little monkey is scared to fight. Are you going to run away?"
Gohan's Sayian nature got the better of him then. "Fine. I will fight you myself."
"Just you, against all 4 of us? Are you crazy?"
This time Gohan smiled. "Aw, you are not afraid of this little monkey are you?"
"Fine! You're on. Let's go." And they led the way down the hall.

Meanwhile Vegeta was being more focused on his search. He was trying to get a sense of the power levels of all the creatures there to figure out who might cause them some trouble. He did make one stop, one of the vendors there was selling a drink that he had liked as a kid and had not been allowed to have any since Frieza took him away from him home planet. After wandering a little bit, he saw a crowd gathered around a display screen and over heard a couple comments about "That little monkey against the 4 of them?" "He's going to get his butt creamed." "This fight will be a joke. He is only half their size."
Curiosity got the better of him and he pushed his way in to see what was going on. On the monitor was a camera showing the room Gohan was about to fight in. And then he saw what Gohan was facing. "Damn that kid! What is he doing?"
One of the others standing there answered, "They are sparring. They have to follow tournament rules, so they are not going to get too beat up."
Vegeta growled. "He is going to get us kicked out of the tournament. Where are they at? I have to stop this."
"It's too late to stop it. And this is legal. These rooms where setup for this reason. To give the fighters a chance to train a little more. So just sit back and watch the show."
Just then the fighters started to power up, with Gohan letting them take the lead. Vegeta was able to sense their power levels now across the station. It seemed the 4 Frieza-like guys topped out between 1.2 and 1.5 million each. "They are not that strong." Vegeta thought. "This should be interesting to see how the kid handles this." Vegeta then crossed his arms and stood there watching as Gohan took his power up about 7 million and then smiled at his opponents and motioned for them to start the fight.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Gohan stood there and smiled. "You can begin whenever you are ready."
#1 charged at Gohan with his fist cocked and ready to go expecting to make short work of this fight. But instead of ducking or blocking the blow, Gohan jumped forward himself catching them all off guard. Gohan ducked around the side of #1 and landed next to #3. A quick round kick later sent #3 to meet to wall with a thud. And he slumped there for a minute, stunned by the impact. #2 and #4 both came at Gohan punches and kicks flying but Gohan just started blocking and dodging them. #1 looked over at #3 for a second against the wall, charged a Ki attack and flung it at Gohan. Without even breaking his rhythm, Gohan swatted the energy ball away, right at #3. All number #3 had time to do was look up and suck his breath to scream before the ball hit him. A small explosion later, #3 was out like a light and #1 was screaming mad that Gohan managed to take one of them out. #1 charged into the melee and added his attacks to the other two's, but they still didn't seem to be able to lay a hand on Gohan.
Meanwhile the crowd around Vegeta started to babble about how good this kid was and watch in awe as Gohan threw 3 quick punches and knocked the other attackers around the room. One of them spectators that just got there asked. "What race is that fighter? He is awesome."
Vegeta answered. "Sayian."
"And he is your team mate?" Vegeta nodded.
"Wow! Are you as good as he is?"
Vegeta smirked. "I am better than he is. And notice, he is not even trying and still those guys can't even touch him."
Meanwhile Gohan had taken to abusing them a little bit. Using his super speed was bouncing from one to the other and playing with him like toys. A quick move and he slapped one in the back of the head before they even knew where he was. Another jump and grabbed on by the arm and tossed him at the one he just slapped. They went down in a tangle of limbs. Then suddenly Gohan was standing by the side of the other one and kicked his legs out from under him. And kept that type of thing up for a few more minutes before coming to rest in the center of the room. Gohan then folded his arms and closed his eyes waiting for the next move.
The 3 remaining got to their feet and quickly spread out. After a quick look at each other they all charged up a Ki attack and with a scream threw them at Gohan all at the same time. All 3 attacks hit in the center of the room and the explosion blinded everybody for minute. When the smoke cleared, Gohan was still standing there looking like he was half asleep. Then Gohan popped over to in front of #1 who was standing there with his mouth open. "Is that all you have got?"
#1 pulled his gaze down to Gohan standing in front of him and then threw a punch. Gohan didn't even blink but #1 ended up clutching his fist with his other hand. His expression of pain was matched by the shock on the faces of the other 2.
"Well, I guess that really is it." Gohan sent a quick right hook into the jaw of #1 knocking him out cold. Then he turned and walked in the direction of the last 2. They looked at each and both dropped to their knees. "We give up. You win."
Gohan walked to the door and opened it. He was greeted by cheers from the other fighters that stood outside the sparring chamber. After making his way through the cheering crowd, he found himself face to face with Vegeta. "Just what do you think you were doing in there runt?"
"I was just having a little fun Vegeta. You need to lighten up some."
"You left 2 conscious opponents behind you. Never walk away from a fight unless you know all your enemies are dead or completely out of it."
Gohan just looked at Vegeta for a moment and scowled. Then he gave Vegeta a bow. "Yes, Prince Vegeta." And then walked away.
Vegeta just sighed, "That kid is trying to give me gray hair."
