Today was the final day before the 24th Tenkaichi Budokai. Bra had sparred with her father each day. Sometimes Trunks would come in, and every time Bra would beat him, he would complain. Vegeta continually told him that it was his own fault for neglecting to train. Bra would always gloat, saying she was better now, while Trunks argued that she was just lucky. Today Bra had decided to train by herself. She knew that the tournament was tomorrow and she was going to be as prepared as she could. The tournament was divided into two divisions one for fighters under the age of 16 and one for those above. She had wanted to fight in the same division as Gohan, but accepted the fact that it wasn't going to happen. Now her only real competition would be her twin brother Trunks. 'I will win, I trained with Gohan, the strongest person in the universe. No one can beat him. I hope I can train with him some more after the tournament.' she thought to herself while practicing her katas in the backyard. She was so absorbed in her fighting that she didn't sense the four power levels approaching.
Vegeta was training in the GR. He had been sparring a lot recently with his daughter and was very astonished at her progress even though he never showed it. He was also very proud of how much focus she put into her training making sure that she could get as much as she could out of it. He was practicing with the GR robots when he felt some powerful powers coming, which made him lose his focus for a second and allowing one of the robots to hit him with one of the ki blasts that they had been reflecting back and forth. Once he was back on his feet he stopped the program and rushed outside to meet the power levels coming their way. He knew who they were and also knew that he had to get his family as far away from here as possible. 'If HE has taken their side in this dispute, we are going to have a few problems' Thought Vegeta as he walked outside seeing Bra practicing. "Get inside now!"
"Huh, why, what's wrong?" asked Bra with an inquisitive look on her face.
"No questions, Just do it!" yelled Vegeta.
"Ok" she replied as she quickly ran past her father and into the house.
Vegeta waited outside until four cloaked figures became visible and then finally reached CC. "I'm not exactly sure why you're all here, but be certain none of you are welcome to stay, so please say what you want to say and leave."
None of their faces were visible, but Vegeta knew exactly who each one was and was very concerned about what the one on the far right was doing here. The one on the far left spoke first. "Were here to warn you."
"Hmph I can take care of myself." replied Vegeta even though he was fully aware of what they were really here to say.
"NO" said the next one "We mean if you don't kill the girl we will do it for you."
"I sure as hell will not kill her, and I'll be damned if you think I would just sit back and watch you kill her. If you want her so bad you'll have to fight me." Said Vegeta becoming angry at the thought that anyone dare threaten his flesh and blood.
"We are not here to fight now, but be certain, we will make sure the monster is killed, even if we have to kill you to do it. Your fate shall be determined at the tournament tomorrow and the girl's life will end by sunset. You'd be doing her a favor if you killed her with your own hand rather than let us get a hold of her, because I guarantee you what we do to her before we kill her will be far worse than death." said the next in line. With that the first three placed two fingers where their foreheads would be and used Instant Transmission. The one that was one the far right stayed a bit longer staring down at Vegeta.
"Leave you disgrace" yelled Vegeta up at the cloaked figure and then he two used Instant Transmission. 'Damn Gohan needs to know about this. I could sense that they were far stronger than before.' thought Vegeta as he retreated back into the house and headed back to train in the GR where Bra and Trunks were sparring.

It was the day of the tournament and Gohan was just flying away from Korin's tower. Korin had also been killed. Korin had tricked the other Z- senshi members into believing that he was on their side. He held up the act until he was able to meet Gohan. Korin had given him a small stash of twelve senzu beans, but the others had caught him talking with Gohan and soon after killed the cat guardian. Gohan had been to visit his stash of senzu beans. The dozen beans were still there, he felt it necessary to save them as long as possible. Recently he began to feel that they were going to need all of them, and if not he took them just in case. Korin had also left with him a rare black senzu bean that gives its user the permanent ability to regenerate, but also turns back time on the user's body by five years. It had taken Korin 100 years to grow it, and he told Gohan only to use it in case of an emergency. Gohan had kept this bean with him at all times to keep it from falling into the others' hands. He had no intention of ever using it on himself. Gohan continued flying to the island that the tournament was being held on, he was sure that the remaining Z-senshi would be there and would more than likely all be as strong as Tien and Chioutzu were if not stronger.
Gohan landed on the island a short while later. He looked around in an attempt to spot Vegeta or Bulma. The entire area looked like a carnival without the tents. People crowed around food vendors and fighters checking out the competition. Gohan sensed Vegeta not too far away so he walked in the direction he had sensed him in.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Vegeta was standing in a crowd with Bulma and the twins getting in line for the sign-up for the tournament. They had been here for an hour waiting and the flight in the hover jet had taken an hour. Suddenly he sensed Gohan arriving on the island. "Woman wait here I have to talk to Kakarrot's brat."
"I HAVE A NAME GOD DAMN IT." Bulma shouted at Vegeta as he walked away into the crowds.
Vegeta walked a distance just to get out of earshot of Bra. He soon caught sight of the teen Saiyan. "Gohan there's something we need to talk about."
'This must be serious for him to be using my name.' thought Gohan. "What is it?" asked Gohan with a raised eyebrow.
"Those traitors came to visit yesterday and it seems they've picked up a powerful ally."
"Who could be strong enough to make you worry?" asked the now concerned Gohan.
"You'll find out soon enough. I would like to ask you a favor though....."
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Bulma, Bra, and Trunks were waiting at the entrance to the arena for Gohan and Vegeta to turn up. All junior fighters were automatically qualified to fight, but the upper division had to be filtered out. The pre-elimination round was going to be a punch machine that measured the strength of the fighter. Bulma waited silently but Bra and Trunks were arguing over who was going to win the tournament, Gohan or Vegeta. Then both Vegeta and Gohan emerged from the swarms of people trying to push their way into the arena.
"It's about time you two," said a frustrated Bulma.
"HEY GOHAN!" said Trunks and Bra together.
"Hurry up the first elimination round is beginning," said Bulma as she walked into the arena.
"Well this should be quite interesting" replied Vegeta as they all followed Bulma.
Gohan and Vegeta separated from the others when they got to the area where the machines were. Vegeta could already sense where the other fighters were. The first to test their strength was none other than the 'great' Hercule himself. His punch scored a 124, which to most of the fighters seemed extremely high. He then gave his obnoxious laugh and victory sign and then left without watching to see his competition. "I can't wait to be the one to kick his ass,' said Gohan "I can't believe these pathetic weaklings actually believe he beat Cell."
"You should kill the ass hole that would show these earthlings that they've been glorifying a fake all along." said a smirking Vegeta imagining the afroed corpse.
A few other fighters seemed pretty strong for average humans one such fighter was a girl with black hair in ponytails. She was wearing biker shorts, a baggy T-shirt under a tank top, and biker gloves. None of the other average fighters scored higher than her, she even outdid Hercule. Soon it was the four-mystery fighters turn. They all scored high numbers that were incomprehensible to the weaker fighters. They were all wearing large hooded robes. Gohan could sense that the first three were Yamcha, Krillen, and Tien, but he had no idea as to who the fourth one was. His ki felt oddly familiar to him but he was certain that he had never sensed such a powerful being other than Vegeta or his father. Vegeta on the other hand knew exactly who it was and knew that HE was masking his ki to keep his identity from Gohan.
"Is that who you were talking about?" Vegeta simply nodded his head to Gohan's question. "Who is he?"
"You'll find out." It was soon Vegeta's turn and he scored just above the mystery fighter, and then it was Gohan's turn.
Before he punched the pad he turned to face the remaining fighters. "Consider yourselves eliminated." he then turned and punched the machine hard enough to send it flying and smashing into a brick wall destroying both the machine and the wall. He then proceeded to blast the three remaining machines. The rest of the fighters were either staring fearfully at the teen or were running away in fear.

Gohan, Vegeta, and Bulma took seats to watch the junior tournament. Sixteen kids were fighting in the tournament including Trunks and Bra. Though none of the fights Bra or Trunks were in lasted very long. They had both ended on opposite sides of the match up tree so it was very obvious that the last fight would be between Trunks and Bra. Gohan and Vegeta didn't take notice of any of the other fighters' names because it was obvious they couldn't compete with Bra or Trunks. It soon wound down to just Bra and Trunks in the final as predicted.
"Now it's time for the Junior Tournament Final." said the announcer "And our fighters are Bra Briefs and Trunks Briefs, who are surprisingly twins." Trunks and Bra both proceeded to the fighting ring on opposite sides.
"You can't win so you should just give up now," said Trunks
"HA I think you should be the one to give up," replied Bra
"OK FIGHT" 'DING' the announcer rang the bell signaling the start of the fight.
Both Bra and Trunks got into their stances. Trunks took the offensive first trying to catch Bra off guard. He charged her straight on and tried to sweep her feet out from underneath of her. Bra managed to jump over the attack and flip over him she then grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder. Trunks was heading for the edge or the ring but stopped himself before falling off. He then charged at her once again and aimed a punch towards her face. Bra once again dodged the attack and kick Trunks in the side causing him to lose his balance and fall over. Bra then saw her opportunity and kicked him again in the stomach and sent him flying towards the edge of the ring once again. Again Trunks managed to slow down and stop, but when he got back to his feet he began powering up to super Saiyan.
"Why do you have to be such a baby? Oh well I guess we'll do this your way." said Bra smugly as she too powered up to super Saiyan. The crowd was already astonished at the fight the two children were having and now they had begun to change their hair color and eye color. They also started giving off a golden light and a powerful wind picked up inside the stadium. Most of the onlookers were screaming.
Bra and Trunks ignored the commotion around them and continued fighting. They both had begun standing in place punching and kicking trying to hit the other with little success on either side. Bra managed to dodge or block most of the attacks as did Trunks and neither could gain the upper hand. Finally they both backed off and began charging their own attack.
"KA....ME....HA....ME....HAAAAAA" yelled Bra
"BUSTER CANNON" yelled Trunks
The yellow and blue blasts connected directly in the middle of them sending each of them flying backwards and out of the ring. Trunks hit the wall and fell to the ground but Bra managed to stay floating and floated back into the ring then fell down out of exhaustion.
"It looks like the winner is BRA! Ladies and Gentlemen this has been one outstanding fight hasn't it." Said the announcer and it seem he was the only human who seemed to have enjoyed watching the horrific fight of the terribly strong twins. Some of the watchers even wet their pants in fear but none seemed to care as most of them sat back down after getting up to run away.
"Geez if they were scared of those two I can't wait to get in there and scare the hell out of them." said Vegeta smirking.
"We will take a half hour intermission and then we will begin the World Martial Arts Tournament. The ten fighters will compete as follows: Kane vs. T, Videl vs. Gohan, S vs. Vegeta, Y vs. 18, and K vs. Liu. The winner of the tournament shall win 1,000,000 zeni and the opportunity to face Hercule for the title World Champion."
'So the filth is still trying to hide his identity from Gohan by using a fake name.' thought Vegeta
"18? Android 18? What's she doing here?" questioned Gohan
"We'll find out later. It's time for the real fights to begin."
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
It was a short wait until the first combatants were called to the ring. The first match was between a tall muscular bald man named Kane and T who Gohan recognized as Tien by his ki signature. Tien had quickly won by knock out but when both fighters exited the ring Tien charged over to the other fight and killed him by kicking his head off. If people weren't scared before they were scared now. The judges had let him get away with it since it wasn't part of the match but they had sent the police after him, which ended up in three more deaths. Since there was nothing they could do to stop him they gave up trying. None of the judges wanted to disqualify him for fear of being killed like the rest.
"Well I hope we all managed to keep our lunches down because it's time for the next fight crime fighter Videl vs. Gohan." said the announcer. The audience all ignored his poor joke. "This time lets try to have a good clean fight." 'DING'
Gohan dropped into his stance, as did Videl. "You know you have a lot of potential and your pretty strong for a 'human' that is" Gohan said the last part in a whisper to her. She just gave an 'are you crazy' look and then charged at him. Gohan easily dodged all of her attacks and kept on the defense in order to make her mad. "It would seem you're too slow to hit me," said Gohan smirking at her.
"Who are you?" she managed to ask through breaths when she stopped attacking.
"Me, I'm a nobody, someone that's not conceded into thinking a moron like Hercule could ever defeat Cell. Who are you?"
"DON'T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT MY FATHER THAT WAY. HE DID BEAT CELL AND NOW I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU."
"Hmm mouthy little bitch aren't you?" replied Gohan lazily as he fell back into his stance and prepared to give her a little scare. He then vanished from everyone's sights and suddenly reappeared behind Videl with his arms crossed and while she tried to figure out where he had gone, he bent over and whispered in her ear. "You know what I don't get is how you and your pitiful father could have ever fooled the entire population into believe he beat Cell when Cell swatted him away like a fly."
Videl was too terrified to move until he made that comment about her father, she then twisted and aimed a kick at where his head was, but he had already vanished again only leaving an after image. Gohan then appeared above her floating a few feet behind her. "OVER HERE."
Videl turned around and saw Gohan floating in the air a few feet above her. "So do you still think I'm using tricks? If I am how is it not one person here can see how I did it?" He then appeared directly in front of her. "I'll give you this, you happen to be stronger than your pathetic cheat of a father, whether you believe me or not, but as far as I'm concerned neither of you is a match for me." He said before punching her in the gut and before she even realized what hit her she was out cold. Gohan then picked up her body and threw it out of the ring, too impatient to wait for the count.
"AND THE WINNER IS GOHAN, WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED?" said the announcer. "Now the next fighters please enter the ring. Y and 18 please come to the ring now."
Gohan walked off to find Vegeta, he had no interest in watching Yamcha being beaten by a girl, even if she was an android.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Vegeta had watched Gohan's fight closely and had overheard their entire conversation. He was very amused at how Gohan toyed with her before easily disposing of her. 'He's beginning to act more like a Saiyan each day' He then saw Gohan approaching along with Bulma and the twins.
"Did you see that dad? She wasn't even a match for Gohan." said Trunks while jumping up and down.
"Hmph I should hope not."
"Well soon it'll be your turn to fight Vegeta, let's hope that S can give you the fight you looking for." said Gohan
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
The fights between 18 and Yamcha and K and Shin had ended quickly. 18 and K were the victors. Now it was time for Vegeta's fight.
"WOULD VEGETA AND S PLEASE COME TO THE RING." said the announcer over the loud speaker.
"Good luck Vegeta, not that you'll need it." said Gohan
'I'll need more of it than you know.' thought Vegeta to himself
"Yeah good luck dad" said Bra and Trunks together.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Vegeta stepped up onto the ring and waited for his opponent to show up. Soon enough S appeared out of nowhere onto the ring with his cloak still on and hood still up.
"Listen Vegeta I'm not going to fight you here." said S with his voice so low that only he could hear. He then vanished and appeared in front of Vegeta.
"HEY I HAVEN'T SAID GO YET!" yelled the announcer but before anything could be done S grabbed onto Vegeta's shoulder and placed two fingers on his head and used Instant Transmission.
"Hey Gohan what's going on?" asked Bulma a little bit concerned.
"I don't know, but Vegeta can handle himself so you shouldn't worry too much."
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
"Ok we're here in the middle of a desert and we're fighting on your grounds are you happy now?" said Vegeta pissed that the scum would even think of touching him.
"Vegeta I want to solve this peacefully I don't want to fight you." said S
"Do my ears deceive me, you want to kill my daughter and you think I'll stand idly by and let you do it? Well listen here you disgrace if you threaten my family, you're looking for a fight." said Vegeta getting angrier by the second.
"Ok but she will be killed even if I have to kill you to get to her." said S as he removed his cloak.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
The match between S and Vegeta had been called a draw and both were disqualified. So the next match would be between K and Gohan.
"WILL K AND GOHAN PLEASE COME TO THE RING, YOUR FIGHT IS ABOUT TO BEGIN."
# # # # # # # # # # # #
Yo, yo
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Gohan walked up to the ring no one was cheering except for Bra and Trunks and everyone in the stadium easily heard them.
Gohan faced his opponent as he took off his cloak. Gohan knew exactly who it was but what he saw made him fall to the ground laughing. The ex-monk Krillen only the last time Gohan had seen him he was completely bald but now he had a head full of hair that look like it was too much for his head.
# # # # # # # # # # #
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong

(You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)
# # # # # # # # # # #
"Yeah that's right keep laughing cause soon you and that monster will be dead." said Krillen.
Gohan quickly got up the amusement gone from his face "You think you can kill me? Well that's pretty big talk for such a small man with such a weak power."
"GRR DIE" Krillen charged Gohan who easily avoided the attack and kneed Krillen in the stomach winding him severely. Krillen used this opportunity to grab Gohan's leg and break it quickly.
"ARGHH" cried Gohan in pain "DAMN YOU LITTLE FAGGOT, NOW YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO DIE." Gohan charged an attack and prepared to fire it. Krillen realized there was no way he was going to survive the attack, but he still had an ace up his sleeve.
# # # # # # # # # # # # #
You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life, my pride is broken

# # # # # # # # # # #
"WAIT" said Krillen
"Why the hell should I"
"Because I know that Vegeta is going to die and if you leave now you can still save his life." replied Krillen.
'What no, he knew' thought Gohan as he thought back earlier today.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
"I have a favor to ask you?"
"What's that?"
"No matter what happens today I want you to protect my family don't let them out of your sight for any reason, no questions asked, understood."
"......Yeah of course."
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
'I had wondered if he had known something that I didn't. Damn I could have prevented him from being transported if I had known.' "Look here you little ass munch, I can still sense Vegeta and he's as strong as ever. He's powering up as we speak I know you can feel that power."
"Ahh but just wait" replied Krillen smugly. Gohan waited for a bit and then suddenly another power flared up shadowing Vegeta's power completely. Gohan sat there stunned 'There's no way someone could be as strong as me maybe even stronger' "WHO IS THAT?" he questioned angrily
"I could take you there if you wanted"
'No I can't leave Bra she'll be attacked by Yamcha and Tien.' "Nice try but we're going to finish this."

Gohan powered up to super Saiyan and flew at Krillen who was stunned that Gohan had rejected his offer. "I can't kill you now, but I WILL TRACK YOU DOWN IF I HAVE TO." roared Gohan as he flew his punch right into Krillen's ribs. Krillen was then thrown out of the ring by the force of the punch and proceeded to cough up and puke blood from the vicious attack. 'I hope Vegeta can hold his own until I get there' thought Gohan as he immediately went to go tell the others of what he had just heard.

Today was the final day before the 24th Tenkaichi Budokai. Bra had sparred with her father each day. Sometimes Trunks would come in, and every time Bra would beat him, he would complain. Vegeta continually told him that it was his own fault for neglecting to train. Bra would always gloat, saying she was better now, while Trunks argued that she was just lucky. Today Bra had decided to train by herself. She knew that the tournament was tomorrow and she was going to be as prepared as she could. The tournament was divided into two divisions one for fighters under the age of 16 and one for those above. She had wanted to fight in the same division as Gohan, but accepted the fact that it wasn't going to happen. Now her only real competition would be her twin brother Trunks. 'I will win, I trained with Gohan, the strongest person in the universe. No one can beat him. I hope I can train with him some more after the tournament.' she thought to herself while practicing her katas in the backyard. She was so absorbed in her fighting that she didn't sense the four power levels approaching.
Vegeta was training in the GR. He had been sparring a lot recently with his daughter and was very astonished at her progress even though he never showed it. He was also very proud of how much focus she put into her training making sure that she could get as much as she could out of it. He was practicing with the GR robots when he felt some powerful powers coming, which made him lose his focus for a second and allowing one of the robots to hit him with one of the ki blasts that they had been reflecting back and forth. Once he was back on his feet he stopped the program and rushed outside to meet the power levels coming their way. He knew who they were and also knew that he had to get his family as far away from here as possible. 'If HE has taken their side in this dispute, we are going to have a few problems' Thought Vegeta as he walked outside seeing Bra practicing. "Get inside now!"
"Huh, why, what's wrong?" asked Bra with an inquisitive look on her face.
"No questions, Just do it!" yelled Vegeta.
"Ok" she replied as she quickly ran past her father and into the house.
Vegeta waited outside until four cloaked figures became visible and then finally reached CC. "I'm not exactly sure why you're all here, but be certain none of you are welcome to stay, so please say what you want to say and leave."
None of their faces were visible, but Vegeta knew exactly who each one was and was very concerned about what the one on the far right was doing here. The one on the far left spoke first. "Were here to warn you."
"Hmph I can take care of myself." replied Vegeta even though he was fully aware of what they were really here to say.
"NO" said the next one "We mean if you don't kill the girl we will do it for you."
"I sure as hell will not kill her, and I'll be damned if you think I would just sit back and watch you kill her. If you want her so bad you'll have to fight me." Said Vegeta becoming angry at the thought that anyone dare threaten his flesh and blood.
"We are not here to fight now, but be certain, we will make sure the monster is killed, even if we have to kill you to do it. Your fate shall be determined at the tournament tomorrow and the girl's life will end by sunset. You'd be doing her a favor if you killed her with your own hand rather than let us get a hold of her, because I guarantee you what we do to her before we kill her will be far worse than death." said the next in line. With that the first three placed two fingers where their foreheads would be and used Instant Transmission. The one that was one the far right stayed a bit longer staring down at Vegeta.
"Leave you disgrace" yelled Vegeta up at the cloaked figure and then he two used Instant Transmission. 'Damn Gohan needs to know about this. I could sense that they were far stronger than before.' thought Vegeta as he retreated back into the house and headed back to train in the GR where Bra and Trunks were sparring.

It was the day of the tournament and Gohan was just flying away from Korin's tower. Korin had also been killed. Korin had tricked the other Z- senshi members into believing that he was on their side. He held up the act until he was able to meet Gohan. Korin had given him a small stash of twelve senzu beans, but the others had caught him talking with Gohan and soon after killed the cat guardian. Gohan had been to visit his stash of senzu beans. The dozen beans were still there, he felt it necessary to save them as long as possible. Recently he began to feel that they were going to need all of them, and if not he took them just in case. Korin had also left with him a rare black senzu bean that gives its user the permanent ability to regenerate, but also turns back time on the user's body by five years. It had taken Korin 100 years to grow it, and he told Gohan only to use it in case of an emergency. Gohan had kept this bean with him at all times to keep it from falling into the others' hands. He had no intention of ever using it on himself. Gohan continued flying to the island that the tournament was being held on, he was sure that the remaining Z-senshi would be there and would more than likely all be as strong as Tien and Chioutzu were if not stronger.
Gohan landed on the island a short while later. He looked around in an attempt to spot Vegeta or Bulma. The entire area looked like a carnival without the tents. People crowed around food vendors and fighters checking out the competition. Gohan sensed Vegeta not too far away so he walked in the direction he had sensed him in.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Vegeta was standing in a crowd with Bulma and the twins getting in line for the sign-up for the tournament. They had been here for an hour waiting and the flight in the hover jet had taken an hour. Suddenly he sensed Gohan arriving on the island. "Woman wait here I have to talk to Kakarrot's brat."
"I HAVE A NAME GOD DAMN IT." Bulma shouted at Vegeta as he walked away into the crowds.
Vegeta walked a distance just to get out of earshot of Bra. He soon caught sight of the teen Saiyan. "Gohan there's something we need to talk about."
'This must be serious for him to be using my name.' thought Gohan. "What is it?" asked Gohan with a raised eyebrow.
"Those traitors came to visit yesterday and it seems they've picked up a powerful ally."
"Who could be strong enough to make you worry?" asked the now concerned Gohan.
"You'll find out soon enough. I would like to ask you a favor though....."

Bulma, Bra, and Trunks were waiting at the entrance to the arena for Gohan and Vegeta to turn up. All junior fighters were automatically qualified to fight, but the upper division had to be filtered out. The pre-elimination round was going to be a punch machine that measured the strength of the fighter. Bulma waited silently but Bra and Trunks were arguing over who was going to win the tournament, Gohan or Vegeta. Then both Vegeta and Gohan emerged from the swarms of people trying to push their way into the arena.
"It's about time you two," said a frustrated Bulma.
"HEY GOHAN!" said Trunks and Bra together.
"Hurry up the first elimination round is beginning," said Bulma as she walked into the arena.
"Well this should be quite interesting" replied Vegeta as they all followed Bulma.
Gohan and Vegeta separated from the others when they got to the area where the machines were. Vegeta could already sense where the other fighters were. The first to test their strength was none other than the 'great' Hercule himself. His punch scored a 124, which to most of the fighters seemed extremely high. He then gave his obnoxious laugh and victory sign and then left without watching to see his competition. "I can't wait to be the one to kick his ass,' said Gohan "I can't believe these pathetic weaklings actually believe he beat Cell."
"You should kill the ass hole that would show these earthlings that they've been glorifying a fake all along." said a smirking Vegeta imagining the afroed corpse.
A few other fighters seemed pretty strong for average humans one such fighter was a girl with black hair in ponytails. She was wearing biker shorts, a baggy T-shirt under a tank top, and biker gloves. None of the other average fighters scored higher than her, she even outdid Hercule. Soon it was the four-mystery fighters turn. They all scored high numbers that were incomprehensible to the weaker fighters. They were all wearing large hooded robes. Gohan could sense that the first three were Yamcha, Krillen, and Tien, but he had no idea as to who the fourth one was. His ki felt oddly familiar to him but he was certain that he had never sensed such a powerful being other than Vegeta or his father. Vegeta on the other hand knew exactly who it was and knew that HE was masking his ki to keep his identity from Gohan.
"Is that who you were talking about?" Vegeta simply nodded his head to Gohan's question. "Who is he?"
"You'll find out." It was soon Vegeta's turn and he scored just above the mystery fighter, and then it was Gohan's turn.
Before he punched the pad he turned to face the remaining fighters. "Consider yourselves eliminated." he then turned and punched the machine hard enough to send it flying and smashing into a brick wall destroying both the machine and the wall. He then proceeded to blast the three remaining machines. The rest of the fighters were either staring fearfully at the teen or were running away in fear.

Gohan, Vegeta, and Bulma took seats to watch the junior tournament. Sixteen kids were fighting in the tournament including Trunks and Bra. Though none of the fights Bra or Trunks were in lasted very long. They had both ended on opposite sides of the match up tree so it was very obvious that the last fight would be between Trunks and Bra. Gohan and Vegeta didn't take notice of any of the other fighters' names because it was obvious they couldn't compete with Bra or Trunks. It soon wound down to just Bra and Trunks in the final as predicted.
"Now it's time for the Junior Tournament Final." said the announcer "And our fighters are Bra Briefs and Trunks Briefs, who are surprisingly twins." Trunks and Bra both proceeded to the fighting ring on opposite sides.
"You can't win so you should just give up now," said Trunks
"HA I think you should be the one to give up," replied Bra
"OK FIGHT" 'DING' the announcer rang the bell signaling the start of the fight.
Both Bra and Trunks got into their stances. Trunks took the offensive first trying to catch Bra off guard. He charged her straight on and tried to sweep her feet out from underneath of her. Bra managed to jump over the attack and flip over him she then grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder. Trunks was heading for the edge or the ring but stopped himself before falling off. He then charged at her once again and aimed a punch towards her face. Bra once again dodged the attack and kick Trunks in the side causing him to lose his balance and fall over. Bra then saw her opportunity and kicked him again in the stomach and sent him flying towards the edge of the ring once again. Again Trunks managed to slow down and stop, but when he got back to his feet he began powering up to super Saiyan.
"Why do you have to be such a baby? Oh well I guess we'll do this your way." said Bra smugly as she too powered up to super Saiyan. The crowd was already astonished at the fight the two children were having and now they had begun to change their hair color and eye color. They also started giving off a golden light and a powerful wind picked up inside the stadium. Most of the onlookers were screaming.
Bra and Trunks ignored the commotion around them and continued fighting. They both had begun standing in place punching and kicking trying to hit the other with little success on either side. Bra managed to dodge or block most of the attacks as did Trunks and neither could gain the upper hand. Finally they both backed off and began charging their own attack.
"KA....ME....HA....ME....HAAAAAA" yelled Bra
"BUSTER CANNON" yelled Trunks
The yellow and blue blasts connected directly in the middle of them sending each of them flying backwards and out of the ring. Trunks hit the wall and fell to the ground but Bra managed to stay floating and floated back into the ring then fell down out of exhaustion.
"It looks like the winner is BRA! Ladies and Gentlemen this has been one outstanding fight hasn't it." Said the announcer and it seem he was the only human who seemed to have enjoyed watching the horrific fight of the terribly strong twins. Some of the watchers even wet their pants in fear but none seemed to care as most of them sat back down after getting up to run away.
"Geez if they were scared of those two I can't wait to get in there and scare the hell out of them." said Vegeta smirking.
"We will take a half hour intermission and then we will begin the World Martial Arts Tournament. The ten fighters will compete as follows: Kane vs. T, Videl vs. Gohan, S vs. Vegeta, Y vs. 18, and K vs. Liu. The winner of the tournament shall win 1,000,000 zeni and the opportunity to face Hercule for the title World Champion."
'So the filth is still trying to hide his identity from Gohan by using a fake name.' thought Vegeta
"18? Android 18? What's she doing here?" questioned Gohan
"We'll find out later. It's time for the real fights to begin."
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
It was a short wait until the first combatants were called to the ring. The first match was between a tall muscular bald man named Kane and T who Gohan recognized as Tien by his ki signature. Tien had quickly won by knock out but when both fighters exited the ring Tien charged over to the other fight and killed him by kicking his head off. If people weren't scared before they were scared now. The judges had let him get away with it since it wasn't part of the match but they had sent the police after him, which ended up in three more deaths. Since there was nothing they could do to stop him they gave up trying. None of the judges wanted to disqualify him for fear of being killed like the rest.
"Well I hope we all managed to keep our lunches down because it's time for the next fight crime fighter Videl vs. Gohan." said the announcer. The audience all ignored his poor joke. "This time lets try to have a good clean fight." 'DING'
Gohan dropped into his stance, as did Videl. "You know you have a lot of potential and your pretty strong for a 'human' that is" Gohan said the last part in a whisper to her. She just gave an 'are you crazy' look and then charged at him. Gohan easily dodged all of her attacks and kept on the defense in order to make her mad. "It would seem you're too slow to hit me," said Gohan smirking at her.
"Who are you?" she managed to ask through breaths when she stopped attacking.
"Me, I'm a nobody, someone that's not conceded into thinking a moron like Hercule could ever defeat Cell. Who are you?"
"DON'T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT MY FATHER THAT WAY. HE DID BEAT CELL AND NOW I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU."
"Hmm mouthy little bitch aren't you?" replied Gohan lazily as he fell back into his stance and prepared to give her a little scare. He then vanished from everyone's sights and suddenly reappeared behind Videl with his arms crossed and while she tried to figure out where he had gone, he bent over and whispered in her ear. "You know what I don't get is how you and your pitiful father could have ever fooled the entire population into believe he beat Cell when Cell swatted him away like a fly."
Videl was too terrified to move until he made that comment about her father, she then twisted and aimed a kick at where his head was, but he had already vanished again only leaving an after image. Gohan then appeared above her floating a few feet behind her. "OVER HERE."
Videl turned around and saw Gohan floating in the air a few feet above her. "So do you still think I'm using tricks? If I am how is it not one person here can see how I did it?" He then appeared directly in front of her. "I'll give you this, you happen to be stronger than your pathetic cheat of a father, whether you believe me or not, but as far as I'm concerned neither of you is a match for me." He said before punching her in the gut and before she even realized what hit her she was out cold. Gohan then picked up her body and threw it out of the ring, too impatient to wait for the count.
"AND THE WINNER IS GOHAN, WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED?" said the announcer. "Now the next fighters please enter the ring. Y and 18 please come to the ring now."
Gohan walked off to find Vegeta, he had no interest in watching Yamcha being beaten by a girl, even if she was an android.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Vegeta had watched Gohan's fight closely and had overheard their entire conversation. He was very amused at how Gohan toyed with her before easily disposing of her. 'He's beginning to act more like a Saiyan each day' He then saw Gohan approaching along with Bulma and the twins.
"Did you see that dad? She wasn't even a match for Gohan." said Trunks while jumping up and down.
"Hmph I should hope not."
"Well soon it'll be your turn to fight Vegeta, let's hope that S can give you the fight you looking for." said Gohan
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
The fights between 18 and Yamcha and K and Shin had ended quickly. 18 and K were the victors. Now it was time for Vegeta's fight.
"WOULD VEGETA AND S PLEASE COME TO THE RING." said the announcer over the loud speaker.
"Good luck Vegeta, not that you'll need it." said Gohan
'I'll need more of it than you know.' thought Vegeta to himself
"Yeah good luck dad" said Bra and Trunks together.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Vegeta stepped up onto the ring and waited for his opponent to show up. Soon enough S appeared out of nowhere onto the ring with his cloak still on and hood still up.
"Listen Vegeta I'm not going to fight you here." said S with his voice so low that only he could hear. He then vanished and appeared in front of Vegeta.
"HEY I HAVEN'T SAID GO YET!" yelled the announcer but before anything could be done S grabbed onto Vegeta's shoulder and placed two fingers on his head and used Instant Transmission.
"Hey Gohan what's going on?" asked Bulma a little bit concerned.
"I don't know, but Vegeta can handle himself so you shouldn't worry too much."
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
"Ok we're here in the middle of a desert and we're fighting on your grounds are you happy now?" said Vegeta pissed that the scum would even think of touching him.
"Vegeta I want to solve this peacefully I don't want to fight you." said S
"Do my ears deceive me, you want to kill my daughter and you think I'll stand idly by and let you do it? Well listen here you disgrace if you threaten my family, you're looking for a fight." said Vegeta getting angrier by the second.
"Ok but she will be killed even if I have to kill you to get to her." said S as he removed his cloak.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
The match between S and Vegeta had been called a draw and both were disqualified. So the next match would be between K and Gohan.
"WILL K AND GOHAN PLEASE COME TO THE RING, YOUR FIGHT IS ABOUT TO BEGIN."
# # # # # # # # # # # #
Yo, yo
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Gohan walked up to the ring no one was cheering except for Bra and Trunks and everyone in the stadium easily heard them.
Gohan faced his opponent as he took off his cloak. Gohan knew exactly who it was but what he saw made him fall to the ground laughing. The ex-monk Krillen only the last time Gohan had seen him he was completely bald but now he had a head full of hair that look like it was too much for his head.

You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through

# # # # # # # # # # #
"Yeah that's right keep laughing cause soon you and that monster will be dead." said Krillen.
Gohan quickly got up the amusement gone from his face "You think you can kill me? Well that's pretty big talk for such a small man with such a weak power."
"GRR DIE" Krillen charged Gohan who easily avoided the attack and kneed Krillen in the stomach winding him severely. Krillen used this opportunity to grab Gohan's leg and break it quickly.
"ARGHH" cried Gohan in pain "DAMN YOU LITTLE FAGGOT, NOW YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO DIE." Gohan charged an attack and prepared to fire it. Krillen realized there was no way he was going to survive the attack, but he still had an ace up his sleeve.
# # # # # # # # # # # # #
You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you

"WAIT" said Krillen
"Why the hell should I"
"Because I know that Vegeta is going to die and if you leave now you can still save his life." replied Krillen.
'What no, he knew' thought Gohan as he thought back earlier today.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
"I have a favor to ask you?"
"What's that?"
"No matter what happens today I want you to protect my family don't let them out of your sight for any reason, no questions asked, understood."
"......Yeah of course."
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
'I had wondered if he had known something that I didn't. Damn I could have prevented him from being transported if I had known.' "Look here you little ass munch, I can still sense Vegeta and he's as strong as ever. He's powering up as we speak I know you can feel that power."
"Ahh but just wait" replied Krillen smugly. Gohan waited for a bit and then suddenly another power flared up shadowing Vegeta's power completely. Gohan sat there stunned 'There's no way someone could be as strong as me maybe even stronger' "WHO IS THAT?" he questioned angrily
"I could take you there if you wanted"
'No I can't leave Bra she'll be attacked by Yamcha and Tien.' "Nice try but we're going to finish this."

Gohan powered up to super Saiyan and flew at Krillen who was stunned that Gohan had rejected his offer. "I can't kill you now, but I WILL TRACK YOU DOWN IF I HAVE TO." roared Gohan as he flew his punch right into Krillen's ribs. Krillen was then thrown out of the ring by the force of the punch and proceeded to cough up and puke blood from the vicious attack. 'I hope Vegeta can hold his own until I get there' thought Gohan as he immediately went to go tell the others of what he had just heard.
