[A/N: sorry it's so short. I'll make sure the next one's longer to make up for it.]
Chapter Ten - Upsets
Mainframe and Shin were both standing in the ring now. Shin was trying to determine how strong Mainframe might be but couldn't get a clear sense of his power. /I can't use to much power, I don't want to hurt him, but if I use to little I'll be knocked out of the tournament and u.../
"So you're the Supreme Kai? You don't look that tough to me." Mainframe laughed.
"How..."
"Bobbidi told Matrix and I everything. I must admit I was expecting more from the Supreme Kai."
Back inside the building Piccolo's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head. "What is it Piccolo?" Gohan asked. "What's he saying?"
"He just said that Shin is the Supreme Kai, and he called him weak!"
"What!" Goku cried. "I heard stories in other world but..."
Back in the ring Mainframe had taken a fighting stance. "If you're any indication of Majin Buu's power then Matrix and I are wasting our time. Let's get this over with, I don't have all day."
Shin stood still as he tried to absorb everything he'd just been told. Mainframe waited a moment longer but grew impatient. In a flash he launched forward and slammed a fist into Shin's stomach knocking the Supreme Kai out of the ring before he could react. "Never drop your guard around me." Mainframe said stepping out of the ring.
The Trunks vs. Yamu fight lasted about as long. As he joined the others Goku laughed, "You got the easiest first match out of all of us."
"Yeah, but it's either me or Piccolo he's got to fight next." Gohan said with a smile.
Goku nodded. "I've been thinking about something." he said as the announcer called Piccolo and the Great Saiyaman to the ring. "If Matrix and Mainframe are as strong as they seem we won't beat them without transforming, and since Vegeta already did it once there's no real reason not to anymore."
Gohan stood silent for moment then smiled, "Hear that Piccolo. You're going to have to work for a win now."
Piccolo smiled as the two of them made their way out to the ring.
