Chapter two - Rumble in the halls
So far today had been an uneventful first day at a new school. As Goku dug through his locker for his history book his best friend Krillin was going on about some blond girl he'd met in his first class. "I'm telling you bro, Eve is... she's like a goddess." Goku heard a chuckle from behind him and turned as he closed his locker. His eyes went wide with shock as he smiled.
"Brolly! I didn't know this is where you'd moved to!" he exclaimed, excited to finally meet up with his old rival. The two of them had been top students in their martial arts schools, schools which had been rivals in every tournament they'd ever been to. It pretty much always came down to Goku and Brolly in the final match, they'd split their victory counts right down the middle. Despite their constant fighting in the tournaments their rivalry had sparked something of a friendship between the two.
"Goku, I'd heard you were moving here. Finally get tired of the mountains?" Goku's smile faded slightly as Krillin looked at the ground rubbing his feet together. "What is it? Did something happen?"
Goku nodded. "Yeah... Grandpa Gohan... passed away a couple weeks ago. He was getting kind of old..." Grandpa Gohan had adopted Goku and raised him, after he'd lost his family in a massive fire. He'd also adopted Krillin since the two had been best friends in their orphanage. He'd even taught Brolly how to use his KI so as to keep the matches between the two rivals interesting.
"No way, that's..." Brolly said sadly. "Wow, Grandpa G's really gone?"
Krillin nodded this time. "Yeah... but he set Goku and I up here in town with a friend of his, Master Roshi, so we've been staying with him."
That's when the sounds of shouting rang out from down the hall. The three turned their attentions toward the yells and frowned, they could feel two strong people from down that way. Brolly sighed. "I know that one power, that's Vegeta. Thinks he's the strongest person on Earth, though he might just get there in a few years. Don't know who he's fighting this time but they feel fairly even."
Goku's face lit up with a big grin. "Come on, let's check it out!"

A group of teachers had worked their way through the gathered crowd of students but weren't attempting to breakup the fight that wasn't really a fight just yet. As one teacher went off to get the principal everyone watched as the two students circled each other. Neither of them had made a move yet, they were still eyeing each other up.
One was a bit short for his age, though the big spiky hair more than compensated for his height difference. Vegeta had tossed his leather jacket to the side, some girl was holding it like it was a sacred artifact. His t-shirt had it's sleeves torn off and everyone could see his muscular arms.
The most shocking feature of the other person was the fact that she was, well, a she. Vegeta had never fought a girl before, no girl had ever tried to fight him before either. Bulma didn't recognize her though. She'd never seen the girl before. She wore a pair of red boots, a blue mini-skirt, a black tank top, and a denim jacket with the sleeves cut off. She had light blue eyes and shoulder length blond hair.
"Hey, that's her. That's Eve." Krillin said pointing as the three pushed through the crowd stopping beside Bulma.
"She's got some power." Goku said eyeing them up. "They both do." he turned to his taller friend. "Do you know her Brolly?"
He shook his head. "No, I think she just started here a few days ago."
Bulma snorted. "Explains why she's willing to fight with Vegeta. Girl don't know what she's doing."
Brolly and Goku smiled. "I wouldn't bet on that." Goku said.
Meanwhile Vegeta had decided to talk. "Look girl. I don't feel like putting you in the hospital. I'd be forced to pay the bills and you're not worth it." Vegeta said coldly.
She smiled slightly. "Like I'm afraid of you. I've put a number of guys in the hospital at my last few schools."
"You've a lot to learn girl." he growled. He lanced out with a simple punch putting little power behind it.
She slipped around the fist and brought her foot up into his stomach. He jerked back holding his stomach and growling some more. Suddenly his other fist shot out. Eve tried started to dodge but was clipped in the shoulder. As she winced from the blow a foot came up and slammed into her stomach knocking her onto her back. "Let that be a lesson to you." Vegeta said hotly before turning from her.
"This isn't over." Eve shouted climbing to her feet.
"You don't know when to quit, do you girl?" Vegeta said looking back at her. "If I wasn't in such a pissed mood I might appreciate your determination, but you're just pissing me off more."
"Then sorry if this really pisses you off." she said, eyes gleaming.
Vegeta turned around to face her again and squinted as he felt... power? Then he saw the spark of energy in her hand. As he realized what she was about to do her hand shot out and he was flung across the hall into some lockers denting them a bit. As he slumped to the ground the crowd pulled back from Eve.
"Impressive." Brolly said from the sidelines. "She can use KI attacks. I wonder who she trained under?"
As she stood there staring at Vegeta he began to move. As he stood he held his forehead, which was now pounding, and slammed his left shoulder into the lockers relocating it with loud pop. "Bitch!" he spat. "You want to fight like that then fine!"
"Not good." Brolly said tensing. "Be ready you two, I think Vegeta's about to pop, this is not good."
Eve just smirked. "You probably don't even know what I just did." she said laughing.
"It was damned KI attack!" he shouted.
"What's with all the swearing!" a voice boomed over the crowd. Suddenly the students parted as the Principal, Hercule Satan, made his way through. "Ah, Vegeta! I should have known you were the cause of this! Didn't I just suspend you this morning!?"
"Buzz off!" Vegeta demanded. "This is between me and the witch." He whipped his arm up and thrust an open palm in Hercule's direction. "You may be physically stronger than me but until you can master the use of KI I can still kick your ass."
Now Hercule was fuming. "You listen here you little..." he shouted walking toward Vegeta. Vegeta scowled and his arm jerked. Suddenly Hercule was sent flying backward into the throngs of people.
"Now stay out of this!" he roared turning back to Eve. "Now where were we? Ah yes, I was just about to smear you across the lockers. Just be glad there isn't enough room in this place to use anything with any real power." With that he thrust both arms toward her causing a massive gust of wind that slammed Eve back into the lockers and making a metal crater around her. As the force blast died off she slumped to the ground. Vegeta was just about to leave when she stood back up. As she got to her feet he growled again glaring at her.
"Knock it off Eve." A voice said across from where Goku stood. Everyone looked toward the teen. He wore a pair of blue and white sneakers, blue jeans, and a black t-shirt. His eyes were the same light blue as Eve's and his hair was shoulder length.
She turned to look at him and frowned. "Aw, come on Adam. I'm just having a little fun."
"Eve..."
She sighed again. "I guess you're right, don't want to injure myself before the tournament."
"Of course I'm right." he said as the two walked off down the hall. "Big brothers are always right."
Vegeta glared after them, his arms twitching, a scowl on his face. His shirt began to wave up, his pants were flapping as well. Goku could see the dust dancing around his feet as his anger forced his KI from his body. One of the bad side effects to being able to control your KI, sometimes you couldn't.
Brolly walked up to Vegeta but made sure not to get to close, he didn't want to set him off and injure anyone who was to close. "Relax Vegeta, she said she's going to be in the tournament, save it for the ring. I know you're entering."
The dust and his clothes settled. "Just you wait girl." he said coldly, so low only Brolly heard it, barely. "Come the tournament you're mine. No body makes a fool of Vegeta, I'm the Prince of all Sai-jins." With that he turned and stormed from the hall, grabbing his jacket, and leaving Hercule to stare after them both.
A/N: Eh, what's this? Vegeta knows about the Sai-jins? Well now... and there's a tournament coming up (but it's a few months off yet, still have more to do before it starts). A quick note on knowledge of KI and powers. Everyone knows about KI, there's a number of people who can use KI, but it takes most people years to learn unless they have a really good master or just adept at it's use. As for powers, people wont be nearly as powerful as the series. All within normal boundaries, but KI adds an extra oomph to stuff, and can pack quite a punch, as you'll see. This will all become obvious as the story goes so, I'll stop here.
