wizardmon92: In response to your question about how Baby could control Vegeta and Gohan while he couldn't control Raditz, the explanation is simple. Baby was expelled from Raditz's body not necessarily due to the sheer power of Super Saiyan 3 but also due to the fact that he wasn't expecting to have to control that much power. Also by the time Baby got to earth he'd gotten stronger and more experienced. By the time he took over Vegeta's body in the midst of a transformation to Super Saiyan 4, he'd gathered a crap load of energy from both Goten and Trunks and also Gohan. That combined with the experienced gained and the lesson learned from his failure would allow him to take over Vegeta even as powerful as he was. But if you still have questions let me know.
As always I'd like to thank all my readers and especially my reviewers. Thanks for the encouragement. And sorry this chapter took so long. Anyway if you have questions don't hesitate to ask. I will respond to them.
Chapter 33
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen," the tournament announcer says as the crowd cheers. The tournament was about to get underway. "The match-ups for this year are:
Vegeta vs. the Eliminator
Yamcha vs. Piccolo
Gohan vs. Goten
Trunks vs. Krillin
Goku vs. Raditz
Tien vs. Chichi
Videl vs. Bulma
Pan vs. Uub
Let's give all our contestants a round of applause."
"I can't believe I actually entered," Yamcha says. "I don't stand a chance."
"At least you have Piccolo as your first opponent," Krillin responds. "It'll be a good fight."
"Yeah until Piccolo gets done playing around with me and decides to finish it."
"Well, look at the bright side," Krillin continues. "He'll hurt you a lot less than Vegeta would if you beat him."
"You have a point."
"Would you two be a little more optimistic," Tien says. "Power isn't everything. We may still have a chance."
"Did he take a hit to the head," Yamcha asks.

A little further off Gohan, Goku, Goten, and Trunks have a similar conversation. "I can't believe mom entered," Gohan says. "She usually doesn't like this stuff."
"She used to love fighting," Goku responds.
"Yeah but how do you explain my mom entering?" Trunks says. "She's never liked to fight."
"She's gotten to think she is invincible since that wish was made," Vegeta says joining the group. "She'll learn that the amount of power she gained just from becoming Saiyan won't make her invincible."

"Ladies and Gentlemen get ready for the first match of the tournament. We have the mighty Saiyan Prince Vegeta vs. The Eliminator. Who will be the victor?
"Like there's any doubt." Vegeta says.
"Yeah you're going down," the huge man standing across the ring, the eliminator, says.
"Yeah right. My son had more power than you when he was born."
"Let the fight begin," the announcer says.
The eliminator charges Vegeta as fast as he can. The Saiyan Prince doesn't move an inch. When his opponent finally arrives a simple back hand sends him flying into a wall out side the ring. He falls to the ground unconscious.
"Why do I get stuck with all the losers," Vegeta mumbles to himself.
"Well that was a short but interesting fight," the announcer says. "Next up we have Yamcha vs. Piccolo."
Piccolo walks up into the ring and stands opposite of Yamcha. "Let's do this."
"I'm ready," Yamcha taunts back.
"Shall we skip the warm-up then?"
"Sure why not."
"All right," Piccolo reaches up and throws his cape and turban to the ground leaving a small crater."
Me and my big mouth. Yamcha says to himself.
"Begin"
Piccolo fazes out and appears behind the human fighter and buries a fist in his back. Yamcha does a front flip avoiding most of the damage and retaliates with a few kicks and punches of his own. Piccolo blocks these with no trouble. "I though you said you were skipping the warm-up?" Piccolo says.
I'm almost at full power and I can't touch him and he's still warming up. I'm doomed. "Fine then," Yamcha says. Throwing a small feint at the Namek he vaults backwards. "Ka… Me… Ha… Me… HA!" The blue beam travels toward Piccolo but is easily swatted aside.
"My turn. Destructive wave" The energy hits Yamcha full force and sends him flying out of the ring."
"Piccolo is the winner. Yamcha has fallen out of the ring. Now for the next match we have the hero of the world, the man who really defeated Cell but never took the credit until years later, Son Gohan. And his opponent today is the man who defeated Hercule Satan in the world martial arts tournament when he was only seven, Gohan's brother, Son Goten. Get ready for a good match."
"Should we skip the warm-up?" Gohan says.
"No," Goten responds, "might as well give them a good show. We can warm up as Super Saiyan 3's. That shouldn't be too big of push for you."
"Good thing Bulma invented that power shield." Gohan says as he ascends through the first two levels of Super Saiyan and strait to Super Saiyan 3.
"Yeah," Goten says as he too ascends to Super Saiyan 3.
The two Saiyans charge each other at blinding fast speed. Gohan throws the first punch but it simply passes through Goten's after-image. Goten appears behind his older brother with a kick of his own. Gohan fazes out before it can hit and come in with a punch kick combination of his own. Goten blocks them all. Soon the two Saiyans are trading blows faster than anyone can follow with the naked eye. As far as the special view-screens Capsule Corp installed for just this situation could tell, they were both evenly matched.
Minutes later Goten hits the ring making a huge crater. A golden flash of light appears and Goten flies out of his hole with black hair and red fur. He slams into Gohan at full speed sending his brother flying high up into the air. Fazing out Goten appears in Gohan's path and hits him again.
Regaining his composure Gohan screams in a flash of golden light as red fur grows all over his body and his hair shrinks a little and turns back to its normal black. "I guess the warm-up is over."
Gohan fazes out and appears behind his brother and punches him in the back sending him flying. Goten quickly recovers and charges back into the fray. In seconds the two Saiyans are exchanging blows faster than even the view-screens can follow. Suddenly unexpectedly Goten come falling into the ring and creates a huge trench as he slides along the ring and just barely over the edge touching the grass.
"Well ladies and gentlemen you saw it here. Gohan is the victor. What a fight that was. One of the best we've ever seen and it is only the first round. As soon as the ring is repaired you'll see Krillin, one of the veterans of the tournament, against Trunks, the son of Bulma and Vegeta Briefs. This will be an interesting tournament indeed."
Well here's the next chapter. I hope you all liked it. I'll have at least two more fights in the next chapter. Please read and Review.
