The tournament begins

'Hey guys' yelled Krillin as he ran up to Gohan, Pan, Goten, Chi Chi, Ox king, Videl, Uub and the two little kids who remind him so much of his best friends 'how's it going you seem so strong' said Krillin as he felt the power emanating from them all.

'Yeah uncle Krillin its going great me and Goken are really strong and were going to enter into the junior tournament and…' Pan slammed her hand across Gobu's mouth stopping him from talking.

'He wasn't talking to you squirt' laughed Pan at her little brother who was struggling to get free of her arm.

'Hey Krillin' said Goten shyly for which he got an angry look from the small man 'is Marron around?' asked Goten blushing slightly.

'Yeah she's around somewhere but she's still angry with you about something…what did you say to her, whatever it is apologize because it has made my last year a living hell' said Krillin shouting a little towards the end.

'I'll go find her as soon as I register' said Goten before punching his brother on the arm and walking away 'see you in the ring bro.'

'yeah I'll be the one standing over you' laughed Gohan who then got a playful shove from his mother and wife for winding his brother up. 'Ow' said Gohan 'anyway where is 18?' asked Gohan.

'She's with Marron, I'll let you on in a little secret we have been training Marron for the tournament she got so motivated by whatever Goten said she has become Justas strong as me and her mother…but don't tell Goten she wants to keep it a secret' laughed Krillin as he leaned in whispering to the group.

'We'll that will teach him a lesson' giggled Chi Chi she knew what her son could be like and a little beating from a girl would put him in his place.

'Hi' yelled Bulma as she ran up to the group and hugged each one of them in turn 'its been so long you all look great, especially you two your getting so big now' laughed Bulma gently as she rubbed the twins on the head as they smiled at her, she to was reminded so much of their grandfather it made her fell so happy when she saw them.

Bra waved at Pan and gave her a hug before smiling at Uub as she leaned over and whispered to her friend 'So you and Uub have been spending a lot of time together recently what's going on?'

'Nothing' whispered Pan as she elbowed Bra blushing all the while.

'Anyway I have to go see if I can find Trunks' said Bra happily casting a look at her father who just grunted and scowled.

'Hey Pan do you want to get something to eat' smiled Uub as he blushed, Pan nodded and waved goodbye as the two disappeared into the crowd.

'Ah young love' sighed Chi Chi twiddling her hair and remembering how her and Goku once were 'those two have certainly gotten close recently.'

'What are you talking about?' asked Gohan shocked.

'You know, your just like your father sometimes, totally oblivious to everything going on around you' smirked Chi Chi at her sons complete shock that his little girl was growing up.

'Now Vegeta can I trust you wont destroy the punching machine this time' said Gohan half joking and half trying to warn him.

'As long as I get to it early I promise I wont' smirked Vegeta when suddenly his eyes widened as did Gohan's and Krillin's they to were sensing the powers he had.

The three quickly scanned the area and their eyes fell upon three grey skinned men who walked through the crowd bumping into people and knocking them down without even breaking their stride. One was much taller then the other two in fact he was much taller then everyone around him, his redish orange hair stood on end at random angles giving him even more height not that he needed it. The one who flanked the other side of the man in the centre was average height and had long blue hair that swept down to his knees sticking out at random angles as well. The man in the centre was the shortest and stood at about Vegeta's height his black hair stood up on end practically vertical from his head. The three of them had grey skin, bright red eyes, claws, fangs and furry tails which whipped behind them as they walked.

The two groups came face to face with one another and the newcomers could do nothing but stare at the Z warriors before smirking at one another and walking towards the registration.

'Did you feel that?' asked Vegeta to which he received two nods 'they were so strong, they obviously aren't from this planet and their signatures felt familiar' said Vegeta as the other two continued to nod.

'That makes me want to ask what are they here for?' asks Gohan.

'No matter, they are no threat' growled Vegeta as his face fell back into its natural scowling form 'lets go and register' said Vegeta as he walked away from those not competing not even saying goodbye, Gohan kissed his wife and followed quickly behind with his two sons.

'Watch where your going' growled Noah as he walked into a young man dressed I orange with a leather jacket thrown over his shoulder, the teen man stared at the three eyed teen.

'Watch it tri-clops you don't know who your messing with' scowled Barret.

'You don't know who your dealing with you mean, your lucky, I've seriously injured people for less' laughed Noah.

'Oh is that right' said Barret calmly as he dropped his jacket on the ground and squared up against the three eyed man.

'What's going on Barret?' asked Yamcha as he walked up behind his son 'What did I teach you about not trying to start fights' lectured the boys father.

'No Yamcha it's all Noah's fault for starting this one' said Tien as he walked up behind his son and smiled at his old friend.

'Tien, its been a while' said Yamcha as he smiled and embraced his friend, 'I get it this is your son' smiled Yamcha noticing the third eye atop the boys head.

'Is this your pupil?' asked Tien looking at the boy who stood in front of Yamcha.

'No it's my son whom I'm sure is just as much to blame as Noah, he's late to so he better get off and register' hinted Yamcha pushing his son towards registration. Tien pushed his son to into the registration line before watching the two nervously.

'I'm sure they'll become fast friends' comforted Yamcha picking up on Tien's worried face.

'Yeah probably' sighed Tien still worried about his son and knowing better then Yamcha that eventually the two would come to blows he just hoped it would be in the ring and not out of it.

…

'What a match! Lets give it up for these two little competitors!' cried the announcer as he watched the last semi final of the junior division 'especially for our winner little Son Gobu.' 'Let me tell you there's something special about these kids, his twin brother has already advanced to the final, they are the grandsons of ex champions Goku and the great Hercule and the majority of their family including both parents have competed in this tournaments at various times including today.' The announcer goes into the ring and holds Gobu's hand up 'how does it feel to face your brother in the final?' asks the announcer as he kneels to Gobu's height as the crowd go wild.

'Good I guess' smiled Gobu a little nervous about the crowd unlike Goken who seemed to inherit his uncle Goten's love of showing off.

'That's a little less enthusiastic then I was expecting but what the Hell' laughed the announcer as the crowd chuckled, Gobu didn't exactly understand but he chuckled along as well. 'Okay now its time these two little guys will go at it one on one, brother against brother in the final of the junior tournament boy it doesn't get better then this' yelled the announcer excited once again about the match.

'Aw no if this line doesn't speed up We'll miss it' yelled Gohan to the rest of the fighters around him.

'Leave it to me' declared Vegeta as he stepped out of line and walked to where the other competitors could see him 'Listen up, anyone who doesn't want to see me very angry should allow me, my family and friends to cut inline' declared Vegeta as he scowled at the long line in front of them. The line burst out laughing at the short man who was declaring war on them, they obviously didn't know his power or remember when he nearly destroyed the earth. Vegeta growled knowing what he had to do he plunged his fist into the ground and pulled out a large chunk of concrete about the size of a small van, he scowled at the line many stepped out of the way instantly saying they were dropping out of the contest but many thought it was a trick and didn't budge. Vegeta blasted the concrete with an energy blast causing many more to leave the line remembering tournaments of previous years when seemingly indestructible fighters used energy blasts like that. Trunks just shook his head and stared intensely at his father, our favourite warriors basically ran past the machine striking out at it gently before running towards the main area, they didn't even wait for there scores knowing they would get through with ease.

They made it out to the arena just in time to see the end of the introduction the crowd was going wild as the two twins stood on opposite sides of the ring both of their tails whipped around in the air as the two stared at each other confident smiles on their faces.

'Aw man this rocks it's just like me and you all those years ago' said Trunks as he looked at Goten who was searching the crowd with his eyes.

'Looking for Marron, I don't think you'll be able to see her in the crowd' giggled Pan as she cast a quick glance over to a mysterious figure clad in black in the finalist circle who she knew was Marron after she caught a glimpse of her getting changed.

'I've got a while to find her yet' insisted Goten 'or do you think she no showed' said Goten despondently he wanted to apologise and to finally ask her out but she wasn't here so he couldn't. Goten and the others quickly turned their attention to the ring as the bell rang.

Gobu started flying straight for his brother as soon as the bell rang, he crossed the ring in a second before vanishing in front of his brother, Goken searched the ring rapidly looking for any sign of his brother, he found it as Gobu appeared punching him hard in the side of the head. Goken tottered backwards a little towards the edge of the ring, Gobu launched another attack his nerves obviously vanished quickly. Goken dodged the attacks and countered with a roundhouse sending Gobu flying into the air, 'ken launched into the air after him and the two began to exchange rapid punches and kicks in mid air which left the majority of the audience to stare in awe.

'I don't believe how good these two are they only started to train when we told them about the tournament' said Gohan staring at his two five year old sons.

Gobu sat up quickly from the floor where he had just been knocked as Goken slammed his heel down to where his brother's head would have been, he rolled to his feet before spinning and catching his brother in the head with a kick. Gobu jumped forward planning to take advantage of his brother, Goken was having none of it as he planted his hand on the floor and hit his brother with two rapid kicks to the chest before following up with punches to the face. Gobu started to block the rapid punches which were moving to fast for the crowd's eyes to see. Gobu dropped on to his back as Goken's foot sailed through the air, 'Bu kipped up brining both forearms across the sides of his brother's head.

Goken stumbled back shaking off the ringing noise 'Hey Gobu what's say we start to fight properly' grinned Goken as he quickly got bored of slowing his attacks down so the crowd could see them. Gobu nodded and stood wide eyed as his older brother (3 minutes) vanished from in front of him and appeared behind him and quickly swung his foot straight through his brother who's after image quickly faded leaving Goken wondering where his brother was.

'Think your faster then me' laughed Gobu as he launched at Goken only to hit an after image as well.

'Maybe' laughed Goken as he hit his brother square in the nose with a punch that appeared to come from no where. Gobu stumbled back as blood streamed from his nose, Goken slid towards his legs to knock him down but to no avail as 'Bu jumped only to land on his brothers tail which sent 'Ken into spasms of pain.

'I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry repeated Gobu knowing that what he did was really bad, he knew how much it hurt and his mom and dad had always told him and Goken never to do that to one another. Gobu didn't waist much time after the apology though as he went for a kick to knock his brother from the ring, Goken launched himself into the air using his hand to vault over his brother dropkicking him out of the ring on the way down.

Goken ran around the ring celebrating his victory as half of the stadium cheered, the other half didn't because they could see Gobu was still hanging on and hadn't touched the floor. Gobu climbed into the ring and as Goken turned during a spin in celebration their eyes met, Goken stopped himself and the two squared off before rushing at each other at speeds to fast to see. The two came into sight after they contacted, the first vision the people saw was Goken with his fist outstretched in Gobu's face and Gobu's fist outstretched into Goken's with both recoiling their heads in pain. The two went sailing back to the edge of the ring before finally stopping themselves.

'Let's finish this!' yelled Gobu as he dropped back into a familiar stance which was mirrored exactly by his brother.

'Kame…' yelled both boys as energy began to build up in their hands.

'Who taught them that?' asked Gohan looking around half angry and half astonished, he found the culprit as Goten was trying to look up at the ceiling innocently and was whistling 'You did teach them how to control it didn't you?'

'I meant to but kind of forgot' confessed Goten as he winced.

'You did teach them how to stop it correctly though didn't you?' asked Gohan who was a little worried.

'Oops' shrugged Goten before he joined the rest staring at the ring.

'…Hame…'

'…HA!' yelled both boys as brilliant bright blue light shot from their hands colliding with one another. The two stood screaming as they poured everything they had into the blasts, slowly in the centre of the ring a big ball of energy built up with the power they had blasted into it. Light filled the arena as the boys continued and couldn't stop blasting the energy, soon the energy was pushing them backwards out of the ring, suddenly it exploded, smoke filled the arena as the top layer of the ring was vaporised (Capsule corp. now have quite a lucrative contract building things that reflect energy blasts such as the gravity room and now the ring and the entire stadium).

When the smoke cleared both boys lay outside the smiling as the announcer began to speak 'the first to stand and declare themselves the winner will be the new champion'. The two boys leapt to their feet and dashed to the microphone to do something they had talked about but never really thought it would happen as they began to speak in unison 'We call it a tie.' The two boys laughed as the crowd went wild with applause at the show of sportsmanship from the two youngsters, the two exited the ring side by side and exited to the back waving to the crowd and smiling at one another.

'I'm so proud' said Gohan as he hugged his sons and Pan kissed them on the foreheads.

Minutes later the ring had been repaired as the monks carried out a large board ready to list the standings.

'Lets welcome our finalists' yelled the announcer as he began to read a list of names 'Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Noah, Barret, Black 21, Uub, Oupa, Pan, Bra, Killa, Jewel, Kiwi, Dockley and lastly but by no means not leastly Lord Strom' the final three men stepped out revealing themselves to be the grey skinned individuals.

The competitors stepped up one by one and began to draw their numbers first was Barret who drew a 15 putting him in the first match, Marron under the name Black 21 got number 11, Bra got number 2, Dockley stepped forward snarling as he reached into the box with his huge hand and drew number 9, Gohan drew a 10 meaning that the first match that was set in stone was him and Dockley.

'He seems strong Gohan, I think you should have a fun match' joked Goten as he elbowed his brother in the ribs and still searched the crowd with his eyes, he had been so intent on finding her he had not heard his name called eventually he stepped forward drawing number 12 which pitted him against Black 21 'Oh too easy' laughed Goten as Marron seethed under her mask.

Jewel was next drawing number 3, Killa stepped forward getting 13 followed by Kiwi who got a 14 which didn't please him or Killa, Killa was freaked out by the grey man and Kiwi wanted a challenge but really he would be just as happy with inflicting pain. Noah was next getting a number 16 much to his and Barret's delight which caused Yamcha and Tien to give each other worrying looks. Oupa was next getting a 5, Pan drew 1 meaning she and Bra get to fight in the first match, neither minded and in fact were looking forward too. Strom was next he stepped forward staring down the competitors as he grabbed number 4 much to Jewels hate. Trunks drew 6 putting him up against Oupa, Uub drew a 7 but already knew it was him against Vegeta as he was the only one left.

'So these are the standings' yelled the announcer

'Pan Vs Bra

Strom Vs Jewel

Trunks Vs Oupa

Gohan Vs Dockely

Goten Vs Marron

Kiwi Vs Killa
