The contestants wait for the first match to begin in a room just next to the ring. The atmosphere couldn't be more confused, Goku and Gohan were looking at each other rather uncomfortably, (Ash had told Goku that in the world that they were in , which she explained to be the opposite of his original world, he was married to ChiChi and had two sons with her and that if he does anything to upset this time he might be erased completely from the face of the earth…sigh wishful thinking…) Red was trying to move Doc as she was once again staring at Piccolo. Piccolo didn't object or move at all from his spot in the corner ever since he came in, the only thing that moved was the huge sweatdrop that had appeared when he heard who he was to fight. Ash was looking at Shin from a corner, her face partly hidden by shadow and Vegeta, who had realised that she up to something stared at her apprehensively wondering what she could be up to.
"HERES THE FIRST FIGHT LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!! MAJUNIOR AAAAND…. SHIN!"
"Piccolo? You ok?" It took some time for Piccolo to look up at Gohan and answer
"Y-yes" Then without another word he followed Shin into the ring. Doc snapped out of her trance
"That's what they say on T-" Red uses both hand s to hold Doc's mouth shut. Gohan remembering what Piccolo said backs away from them, eyeing them suspiciously. Forgetting that Goku was also acting different he approaches him
"What's up with Piccolo?" Goku just looks forward at the ring and shrugs, Gohan looks at Goku with a concerned look on his face
Something's not right with you dad, I know it! But he too begins to watch the battle…
"Here it is ladies and gentleman, let the fighting begin!" Piccolo now looked even more worried then he was before, (Ash, Doc and Red of course knew why but it would be foolish for them to say anything to disturb the future of DBZ and, if Ash's calculations were right, they had already altered time merely by entering the DBZ world.) Shin looked on as Piccolo realised who he is
No! It can't be! He's the… SUPREME KAI!"
"Shall we begin?" the Kai looked expectantly at the Namek who was slowly backing away his eyes wide open as though he was in shock. From the side of the ring Ash and Red were having trouble keeping Doc from running into the ring
"That's from the episodeS! That's-" she is finally silenced with a good double blow from Red and Ash.
Piccolo was backing off carefully but he finally stopped, gritting his teeth together he lowered his head ever so slightly and allowed the words
"He wins, I forfeit" escape through his teeth. Gohan froze as Piccolo re-entered the waiting room still looking quite un-nerved.
"You FORFEITED! Is he… is he really that strong or are you losing your nerve." Doc and the other two girls stopped once again thinking the same thing
Vegeta's supposed to say that…
"No…. he is just that strong." Piccolo paused just as the Kai passed smiling. Ash broke the silence
"He wont be smiling for long." Everyone, at least those who were not accustomed to her ways, stared at her
"She is definitely up to something" Vegeta began to speak with Doc as Ash made her way to her corner
"Duh!" answered Doc.
