Disclaimer: I don't own DragonBallZ.

NOTE: Alright! I've gotten a few reviews that have said the preliminary matches are getting rather repetitive (just call me Ms. Monotony!), so I've decided to go ahead and wrap Day Three and Day Four up in the same chapter! I was going to just have the preliminaries be easy so as to go ahead and get them over with, and also to save up for what's to come (which, for those of you who've read the original, don't say for the new readers' sakes!) But I said, I've wrapped them up so we get just zip by and get to the action already!

Now! I would like to thank every single person who has been reading, but most of all I want to thank everyone who has been reviewing! Your reviews keep me so inspired! So here's to Trugeta, Spring Rain of Harusame, animeprincess1452, Katana Midori-Fading Shadow, and Western Master 3! You're all awesome!

To Trugeta: Yep, it's exactly what to expect! Nothing surprising, but what are you going to do when you have Saiyans fight humans? Thank you!

To Spring Rain of Harusame: Thank you! And that was a good suggestion, which I'll put in the finals, as you'll find out! I know, the preliminary fights did get rather tedious, but, as you can see, I've put Day Three and Four in the same chapter to skip the wait! I hope it's still good!

To animeprincess1452: Thank you very much! I know, don't you just love K.O's? Well, I hope you like these fights! Thank you once again!

To Katana Midori-Fading Shadow: I'm glad I'm getting them over and done with, too! I myself am feeling ready for the action, and I want to get to writing the finals! Thank you!

To Western Master 3: Absolutely 100 percent correct! They will fight each other...Thank you so much for reviewing, too! Hope you like the chapter!

Here it is, then...

Day Three – Chain, Goten, and Dea

Next morning, Chain, in preparation for her fight this day, had risen around four in the morning, and headed outside to warm up. She quietly crept out of the room, careful not to disturb Bra, who was still slumbered. When she closed the door silently behind her, she made a dash for it down the stairs and out to the wide, grassy lawn in front of the hotel.

The sky was still dark, and random chirps from crickets floated out across the serene atmosphere. The air was still cool and crisp, which was all the better for Chain.

She began her warm-ups by stretching her legs and reaching her fingertips for her toes. She grabbed them and held on for several patient minutes before doing the same with the other leg. Then, she rose from her spot and began a rhythmic movement of different stances.

Once finished with her more tranquil movements, she moved on to swift and hard punches in the air, followed by graceful, high kicks and a few clawing motions.

At around six, when the sun started to rise up over the horizon, Chain went back inside for some breakfast. Once again she grabbed her mountain of food and sat down at the table to start inhaling her meal, starting with her first few dozen sausages.

As with yesterday, Goten and Bra were the first two to come down from their rooms, smiling and conversing quietly with another. After piling their plates high with food, they joined Chain at the table, where said girl seemed not to notice them.

Eventually, everyone else arrived, and managed to avoid a confrontation with King Kai's students. Dea was looking irritable, especially after the most unfortunate 'conversation' she'd had with the Sons yesterday.

Sena seemed more unconcerned, which slightly reassured Goku and the others about the two of them. Maybe they weren't as bad as they seemed, after all. Just very quiet...

Chain

Chain was the very first to be called forward today. "Chain and Kale! Will our two competitors please come forward?"

Goku and Vegeta watched as she stepped out to the arena, followed closely by a somewhat humiliated human. Kale obviously didn't seem to be too pleased with his match, seeing as how Chain was just a seven-year-old girl. That and the fact that she was wearing a large bandage. It didn't give her a good impression.

Vegeta saw just how resentful his daughter's glare was. Evidently, she'd noticed the way that Kale was looking at her, and wasn't at all happy about it.

"Ready!" The announcer gave the signal. "Fight!"

And Chain, standing not two feet from her opponent, watched with a faint scowl as Kale brought his fist down upon her head. She blocked the hit effortlessly with her wrist and then struck two of her fingers directly on his forehead.

For a moment, Kale seemed to be stunned, until his eyes involuntarily shut and he crashed back onto the metal platform.

The announcer inspected him, and grinned. "Ladies and gentlemen, it's a K.O! Chain is the winner of the match! Let's hear it for her!"

Now this was fantastic! The crowd nearly cried themselves hoarse as they cheered the young half-Saiyan on. That kid had just brought an adult down using only her fingers! And that was certainly an impressive sight!

Goten

"Goten and Rin! Please step forward!" As soon as his name was called, Goten stepped outside of the boundaries of the platform, and made his way over to the center of the arena.

Bulma, Chi-Chi, and Videl all watched him approach with subtle and confident grins on their faces. "He looks so much like his father, Chi-Chi," Videl said.

"Tell me about it. Especially with that outfit on," she laughed, commenting on his dark blue gi.

Goten stared at his rival with readiness and patience gleaming in his eyes, fists clenched in an almost relaxed manner.

Rin, on the other hand, looked impatient, with an expression lingering over his face that said, 'I don't have time for this. Let's just get it over with.'

"Ready," and the announcer stepped back. "Fight!"

Goten, not wanting to allow the fight to be drawn out, immediately and effortlessly aimed his fist for Rin's gut, which was enough to stun him to the point of rendering him unconscious.

Rin fell back, and even the audience could tell that he'd been knocked out from where they sat.

"Yep, like his father," Bulma nodded, smiling.

"It's another K.O. folks! Goten is victorious!"

He turned and headed back to the side of the platform to join his friends and family while the multitude cheered. The booming cries that overflowed from the coliseum were certainly astounding, but they just couldn't compare with Bra's radiant smile, one that caused Goten to grin and blush.

Dea

"Will Dea and Terri please step into the ring?"

Dea headed out to the middle of the arena soon after her name was called, never bothering to gaze over at Terri.

Terri wasn't really afraid or unafraid of Dea. She had a healthy sense of curiosity toward her, but for the most part didn't allow much of an expression to show.

Vegeta and Goku were observing Dea's poise, trying to learn as much about her fighting style as possible by just examining the manner in which she stood, the way her eyes shone, and even how she breathed.

Terri hesitantly fell into a fighting stance, unsure of whether it was a good idea or not. Her opponent hadn't gone into a fighting stance; hence it was difficult for her to tell what the half-Saiyan was planning.

Bulma, Chi-Chi, and Videl all paid close attention to what was about to ensue.

"Ready! Fight!"

And, swiftly, the quiet woman swung her fist around from the side, sending Terri out of the ring.

The announcer trotted over to where Terri lay unmoving, shifting his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose before nodding. "Yes, ladies and gentlemen! It's another ring out and K.O. in one! Let's hear it for Demi!"

The crowd couldn't contain themselves from screaming and shouting in excitement for these matches. These fighters were incredibly strong, and it was almost unreal!

Day Four – Sena, Goku, and Vegeta

Sena

"Will our two contestants, Sena and Caine, please come forth?"

The three women in the amphitheater seats all gazed in Sena's direction with curiosity lit up on their faces.

And they weren't the only ones. Vegeta and Goku observed the 'dead' woman as they had with Dea, hoping to learn as much about her fighting techniques as possible. Again, they inspected her breathing, the way her eyes gleamed, and how tense or relaxed she was. Vegeta managed to recognize her actions as being tranquil and simultaneously aware.

King Kai sensed that the two Saiyan men were surveying his student, and glanced from one to the other from behind his sunglasses.

"Ready! Fight!"

Sena connected her lower palm with Caine's face, and simply that had ended their unexciting match.

"It's a ring out, ladies and gentlemen! Sena is declared the winner!"

As she made her way back to join her sister, she noticed that King Kai gave her a nod of encouragement.

Goku

"Our next competitors are...Goku and Fran!"

Goku, acknowledging the announcer, nodded and made his way around the barrier poles and to the center of the ring.

He glanced side-long at Fran, who averted his gaze by staring ahead. Well, it was a shame that she wasn't going to win. She looked rather confident...

"Ready! Fight!"

A single hit was sufficient in sending her out across the metal arena and to the grass before the very front seats of the coliseum. People sitting there gasped and 'Awwed' in their shock, leaning over the wall to look down at the girl lying at their feet.

"Yes, it's another ring out, and in only one hit! Goku is declared the winner, so let's hear it for him!"

The multitude responded with such enthusiasm that Goku could not help but grinn and wave up at them. Before turning back to join his friends and family, he waved to his wife, friend, and daughter-in-law, who gave him their supportive thumbs-up.

Vegeta

"Will our next participators, Vegeta and Ore, please come forward?"

Now it was the Royal Saiyan's turn, and, as almost everyone present predicted, he would end this match as soon as it began. Bra and Chain in particular, wore grins as they watched their father head out to where the announcer stood.

Vegeta scowled in a (for him) relatively tolerant way toward his rival, Ore, who was obviously intimidated by the appearance. Yes, this match was going to be very short...

. . . . . .

From high up in the main tower of the stadium, a young girl leaned on the windowsill, grinning as she kept her eyes glued to Vegeta and Ore. "So..." She turned to Morgan, the computer. "I hope you've got everything we need for tonight in check. It's our last chance to get everything prepared for the finals."

"I've been just waiting to get everything ready," he replied, his neon green volume wave fluctuating with his tone.

"Great," the girl smiled. "Are you excited? It's going to be spectacular!"

"You keep using that word. You have heard of synonyms, haven't you?"

She scowled.

"Okay, okay. Yes, I'm excited...if a computer can be excited at the prospect of fights..."

. . . . . .

Vegeta chopped the side of his hand at the back of Ore's head. And with that, the match was over. All anyone needed to see was the unconscious figure of Ore collapsing to the floor and they realized it was finished.

"K.O. ladies and gentlemen! Simply spectacular, give it up for Vegeta!"

The Saiyan Prince returned to the side of the platform, where Chain smiled up at him in apparent joy that he'd won. His usual hard appearance softened with his youngest daughter's smile.

"They were so good, weren't they?" Bulma said, and grinned over at her two friends.

Videl nodded in agreement. "They definitely were."

"And tomorrow's the finals!" Chi-Chi exclaimed. "I have no doubt they're going to do very well then. Our families have all been working so hard. I think it's finally going to pay off for them."

I hope you all liked the chapter. And now the finals are closer than ever, as well as finally knowing who Dea's Luck Man is! Review!
