Dabura looked at his master and nodded. Babadi was a powerful Wizard but he knew that he was stronger than any of these earthlings could ever be. Babadi then looked at the two human subjects that he had acquired. Both of them wanted power. Both wanted to be strong beyond normal means. They had faced the androids and managed to escape from Cell, but both times both of them where so weak. Babadi held his hand out to the first one. Chanting a spell the human fell to his knees. He felt something inside of his head. Screaming his large hands covered his face. Finally he stopped and stood up. An M imprinted on his forehead could be seen. This was the mark of Babadi. The other human walked forward and looked at them. He knelt down has his friend had done and took the same spell on him.

Moments later he was transformed him has well. The both of them had incredible power now, but Dabura laughed to him they where still weak. If they would be has strong or stronger than the beings here on this planet then reviving Majin Buu would take far too long. Even bringing fighters from other worlds would take nearly too long for this. Still Babadi wanted his pet and Dabura wanted to see this power that Babadi talked about.

"Lord Babadi how long is it going to be until this tournament that you spoke of?" He asked.

"Dabura it is going to take place in a couple of weeks. We need this time to prepare for the energy pod. That is why I selected those two that I gave a small amount of power to." Babadi said has he smiled and cackled.

"They are far too weak Lord Babadi. I could have gone in their stead." Dabura said.

"Dabura I need you here for protection. Until Majin Buu is revived you are the strongest being in the Universe. I need you to stay and not allow anything to harm me." Babadi answered harshly.

"I understand my lord." Dabura answered.

At Capsule Corp Trunks and 16 began training for the tournament. 16's power had actually climbed since he had first been repaired. That was a gift from the Bulma in the past. She had given him the ability to get stronger, but within certain limitations. In order for his power to grow he had to eat and train. Living with Bulma and Trunks he did the both of those. Trunks wanted to spar every day. And everyday Trunks would not go easy at all on him. This did force 16 to become stronger and faster. It had gotten to the point that he was has fast has Trunks was, and maintained that speed while being has strong has Trunks was in his Ultimate SSJ form. Trunks of course had to find a way of being that strong while being has fast has 16. This finally led him to going to the next level. He finally did what Gohan had done against Cell and became a SSJ2.

During their training Trunks found that he liked 16 has a friend pretty good. He reminded him of Gohan. Gohan was always gentle natured although he did fight because there was no other choice. 16 was exactly the same. He would train with Trunks because Trunks asked him to. But if it where up to 16 he would be out in what was left of the forest looking at nature. The android was a mystery to him. Gero had built him for destruction, but yet 16 had no desire to kill anything. Trunks shook the thought off and looked at 16 after they had finished another seven hour training session.

"You want something to drink?" Trunks asked.

"No I am fine for now. I will get something later." 16 answered.

Trunks looked at him and nodded. He leaned back. They had spared harder than he had with his father. His father didn't like to train with him much, but he did finally spar some with him before he left from that time line and came back to the future. His father hadn't gone easy on him either. It was something about his son had better get has strong has Kakkrot's brat. Trunks knew that it was the need that his father had for surpassing Goku. And if it was through his son then by Kami he was going to do it through his son.

The next couple of weeks of training went about the same for Trunks and 16. They both pushed themselves has far has they could. 16 would give everything that he had so that Trunks could do the same. Finally the day before the tournament came. Bulma was working in the kitchen and heard someone behind her. She felt hands on her shoulders and touched them. She turned around and kissed 16 gently.

"He still doesn't know." 16 said

"I know. I just don't know how to break it to him. I need to tell him what I did first and then let him know about you and me." She said.

He nodded and looked at her.

"He's getting everything ready. The tournament is going to be held near the site of the original." 16 said.

She looked at him and smiled. She got a small package out from under the desk and pulled a capsule out. Looking at him she remembered what it was. This was a plane that her father had developed for her especially. She didn't need it now since she could fly on her own. But she wanted to take it and take Trunks and 16 to the tournament in it.

"Alright tell Trunks that I am going to be flying you both to the tournament." She said with a smile.

16 nodded and walked back toward where Trunks was.

Elsewhere Babadi's human henchmen flew themselves to the tournament. They landed and the first one signed up.

"Alright Mr. Yama and Mr. Spoavish you are both signed up for the tournament. I ask that you both please walk over there. Like in the old days we are going to have qualifying rounds and then move on to the main tournament." The monk said. Both of them grunted and walked on. He looked at them shook his head.

"I'll never understand these new trends. I though that getting tattooed was bad enough, but getting branded seems a little extreme." He said to himself

Bulma finished loading the jet and both Trunks and 16 got on board. She started the engines and then lifted off. The jet was moving fast, maybe not has fast has they could fly without it. Still she didn't mind. She liked manually flying a jet. Being that was what she had done for so long. Plus flying like she could now, thanks to the conversion that she went through, didn't seem natural. She merely thought and she flew. It was hard to consternate on flying when you see some other things. The first three times she tried she fell to the ground and crashed because she didn't keep her mind on flying.

Before long she saw the place where the tournament was held and set down. She looked at both Trunks and 16.

"Alright guys. Have fun but please don't hurt anyone to bad." She said to them.

Both of them nodded and smiled.

"We won't." They said together.

Trunks walked ahead and signed both of them up. The monk looked at 16 and then at the card.

"His name is 16?" the monk asked

"My father was not blessed with a gift for names." 16 answered.

The monk nodded and signed them up.

"Alright here you go. Go through those doors down there. That is where the qualifying rounds will be held at." The monk said.

They bowed and walked toward the doors. 16 could feel something. It was the presence of four beings that had abnormal strength.

"Trunks this might not just be between us. My scanners are picking up four people with high power levels." 16 told him.

Trunks just nodded. He could sense it.

Alright the tournament is about to begin. Next time the placement rounds begin and we find out who gets placed against whom. Also if anyone has any suggestions feel free to reply and respond.
