Mysterious Fighter Chapter 1

Preparing for the Tournament

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ or it's characters (if I did I wouldn't be writing these at the moment!!!)

Claimer: I do in fact own Emily (grin) and anyone else I decide to put in this chapter.

AN1: Right, here's the first chapter of the first rewrite of how Emily meets Goku and everyone else. I've thought it over a lot and I hope you all enjoy this and please review, let me know whether I'm going about this right now. So on with the story!!!

It was a sunny day on Mount Potaz, it was the week before the annual Martial Arts Tournament and as usual all the z fighters were planning on entering. Ten year old Goten was training with his father and eldest brother knowing that his best friend Trunks was going to be training with Vegeta. He was a bit upset at not being able to fight again in the Adult tournament but was determined to actually beat Trunks this year. The three decided to take a break whilst debating on who was doing what at the tournament.

"Well I know I'll end up fighting Trunks again so I want to do something that will take him by surprise." Goten declared, staring between his father and brother.

"You'll just have to go very fast as some point as we've agreed no energy blasts to be used again. You saw what happened the year we had to fight Buu." Gohan said firmly.

"Hey dad, do you think you'll end up fighting Vegeta?" Goten asked.

"Anything is possible Goten, I don't know how far he'll take our fight as he's still very determined to beat me." Goku sighed. Finishing up a couple of minutes, Goku decided to train with Goten for a bit whilst Gohan went back to check on Videl. He had only recently proposed to Videl and as much as ChiChi had annoyed them into a date for the wedding, one had not been set yet. He entered his house to see Videl in the kitchen.

"Your back early, how was training?" She greeted, pulling him into a kiss.

"Oh the usual. In fact I'm only taking a break whilst my dad trains with Goten for a bit, so I came back to check on you. Are you sure you don't want to compete in the tournament?" He asked when they broke apart, she nodded.

"Against all you guy's no way. I'll just cheer you on. I've kinda been put off entering it after what Spokovich did to me all those years ago." She sighed. Meanwhile at Capsule Corp, Vegeta was training with eleven year old Trunks, getting ready for his fight with Kakarot.

"I am so gonna beat Goten's butt this year. He won't know what'll hit him." Trunks declared smirking evilly.

"Hm, you better had brat. Besides Kakarot thinks we're agreeing to not fire energy attacks this year. What kind of fighter is he?" Vegeta grumbled as he took his five minute break also, Trunks nodded at this.

"Yeah, plus I think he doesn't want us going super either. What a joke." He replied as he got a bottle of water and began gulping it down. Back in mount Potaz, Goku was fiercely sparring with Goten, both of them in super saiyan mode.

"Your getting faster son, you've got a good chance of beating Trunks now." He said as he grabbed Goten's wrist to stop him fisting him in the stomach. Bringing his leg up to kick him off, Goten grabbed his fathers foot and spun him to the floor.

"Gohan taught me that. Hey where's he gone I thought he was watching?" Goten asked looking around for his brother, Goku flew back up and looked around also.

"He must have gone back to see Videl for a bit, he'll be back later probably." He replied as they went at it for another hour. To their surprise though Gohan hadn't returned and it was dinner time soon. Goku stopped as he smelled the dinner wafting from the house, his son also picking up the heavenly scent.

"Race ya!" He laughed as he shot back towards the house, laughing, Goku followed him then the family of three settled down for dinner. They continued training every evening until the Saturday of the tournament when they all headed out to the stadium. Meeting up with Piccolo, Krillen, 18, Vegeta and Bulma, they all headed off to sign up.

"Aw it's too bad we're in the junior division again." Goten moaned as he signed up, standing in front of his best friend, who smirked at him.

"What are you complaining for? Am I too much for you?" He asked, Gohan was watching the two boys sign up turned to his father.

"You know, Trunks is sounding more and more like Vegeta every day." He muttered.

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Goku replied staring at the two youngsters.

"Attention everyone, would all those who are competing in the Adult division of the tournament, please go to the arena entrance to sign up and test your strength against the weighing machines, who are working bang on this year." An announcer called, Vegeta snorted at this, that was their excuse every year when it comes to the weighing machines. All the z fighters made their way to the arena and one by one they all signed up. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Krillen, Piccolo and Yamcha. The remaining two contestants they'd not seen before, one was a man dressed in black, in a ninja outfit and the other one was a young girl with long blonde hair wearing black hipsters and a red tank top, a little younger than Gohan.

"Hm, well those two won't last long in this tournament." Vegeta sneered, staring at them.

"I dunno Vegeta, we'll have to just wait and see won't we." Goku replied, staring at the young girl and frowning. There was something about the girl, he couldn't quite place. She didn't look the fighting type, being shaken out of his thoughts by his son, they all made their way over to the machines and one by one punched them. Vegeta was the first to punch them and all the workers ran around in panic as the target hit 450. Goku tapped lightly and came up as 459, Gohan was 425, Krillen was 350, 18 was 360, Piccolo was 380, Yamcha was 340. The other two contestants stared at the group in shock, naturally receiving a smirk off Vegeta. The other contestant went over and punched a 50 and when it was the girls turn to hit, she sighed as she made her way up to the machine. Swinging her fist into the machine, she hit a 300. It was the z fighters turn to stare at her as she started apologise to the workers for hitting too hard.

"Sorry, I haven't broken it have I? My mom did tell me I had a tough punch!" She cried, putting her hand over her mouth. The head worker nodded that the machine was fine then she sat back down on a bench, far away from the others.

"Kakarot, how on earth did she manage to punch that?" Vegeta demanded.

"I don't know. I'm anxious to see what else she can do." Goku replied, glancing at her then turned his attention back to the drawing board. The matches were now up, it was then when he learned what he name was.

GOHAN VS PICCOLO

GOKU VS YAMCHA

EMILY VS KRILLEN

18 VS NINJAMAN

"The junior division is about to start then we will start the adult division so get ready fighters and all our young fighters, get into the waiting rooms please." The announcer called.

"Go beat him Trunks." Vegeta grunted.

"Just do your best son, that's all you can do." Goku said to Goten.

"Yeah squirt, just be yourself and do the best you can." Gohan added then watched as his brother and Trunks run over to the waiting area.
