A/N: I know what you're all thinking. It's probably, "Damn! You're updating AGAIN!" Yes, I am updating again. Anyway, I am proud to say that I got a FEW reviews for the last chapter, but I would prefer more. Anyway, here are my responses to my reviews so far.
SsJcHiKa: Okay, I'll put Goten in more. ^_^ He's just so cute, so it's hard to forget him for long anyway.
DBZ Chick1: Thanks for liking my fic! ^o^ Sure, I'll advertise for you! When I advertise for fics I usually just go down the list of recent updates and randomly choose a fic, so, for anyone else reading this, I will pick one of your fics when I come across it, or you request for it to be my 'fic pick.'
Aleandra Alyra Sarienna: xD Yeah, I hate Yamcha, too. That's why I made him a cheating jerk. Anyway, I'm so sad to hear you discontinued HOHS! Meanies! People should have reviewed! Anyway, when I advertised one of your fics, it wasn't because you advertised one of mine. It's 'cause I think you're a wonderful author, and I really like the fic I chose (of course, I love all your fics). Anyway, I agree! PEOPLE SHOULD REVIEW THIS STORY! xD Anyway, I guess I'll talk to you later, once one of us reviews each other! ^_^
(Note: Go back to chapter 1 for the 'key' to all the things in the chapters (talking, thinking, disclaimer, etc.)
Something to think about: When you get out of high school, how do you want people to remember you? The goody-too-shoes, the jerk, the kind, friendly one, the jock, etc.?
^^^^^^^^^^
*yawn* Gohan woke up in the same field that he remembered taking a nap in last night… the only difference being that much of the landscape had been demolished. He couldn't help but wonder what did that.
Then he started trying to remember last night. Lets see, he remembered coming over here to think for awhile, taking a nap, having another nightmare, seeing the moon, and… wait… seeing the moon?!
Oh shoot. That must mean… Gohan looked down at the furry brown tail that was sticking out of his pants.
He then took notice that he wasn't alone. Sitting against a tree with his eyes shut was Vegeta, and farther off, Piccolo was meditating. He decided to ask Piccolo what happened.
"Hey, Piccolo, did I-" but he was cut off.
"Yes, you did."
"Why didn't you cut off my tail then?"
"Vegeta has this idea that if the planet gets attacked, your tail might come in handy, so we didn't cut it off." Piccolo responded.
"Oh. Anyway, thanks for stopping me from doing something I would regret. I should head home now. I bet my mom is worried sick." Gohan took off into the sky.
"Bye, Piccolo! Bye, Vegeta!" he yelled.
^^^^^^^^^^
"SON GOHAN! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! I WAS WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU, YOUNG MAN!" Chichi screeched while banging Gohan on the head with *gasp* THE FRYING PAN OF DOOOOM!
Gohan began to rub his head. He wanted the ringing to leave his ears.
"But mom! I stopped to think for awhile, but I accidentally fell asleep! I would have come back earlier if I didn't!" Gohan lied. He didn't want his mom to know the FULL story.
"Just don't do it again, all right? You can study for two hours for your punishment." Chichi ordered.
Gohan just went to his room, knowing his mom, there would be know way to convince her otherwise.
"Oh! Why does Gohan hafe to sudy?" Goten asked.
"Goten, he'll play with you in a little while, so don't worry." Chichi responded with a smile.
^^^^^^^^^^
Zanok sat in his current home, a cave. The cave was rather large, and it had many twist and turns so he could easily stay near the back, in the dark, as he liked it. A bat would fly around every now and then, but hey, bats sometimes live in caves, so what else would we expect?
A smirk covered Zanok's face, he was getting closer and closer to his accomplishment. He knew exactly what he was going to do. His wish on the dragon only made it easier. Yes, he knew good and well that NOTHING could go wrong. He wouldn't let anything go wrong.
Suddenly a short, muscular man, with red hair and black eyes stepped forward from behind him. He was wearing a black body suit, and something that you could call a 'messed up' version of saiyan armor. In his eyes you could tell he didn't really enjoy the position he was in, with Zanok, but he did it anyway. You could also see that he seemed to have had a terrible past, most likely filled with death and carnage.
"Master Zanok, sir, I have learned of a Martial Arts tournament coming up in the near future. I assume that your target will be joining this tournament. Possibly we could have a better chance against him if we are watching the tournament closely." The man stated.
"I will think about this, Kimbo [1]. For this information, I will reward you with three hours off of your normal work." Zanok replied.
"Arrigoto [2], sir." Kimbo muttered. He barely ever had any time off of his work. This seemed to have been a blessing.
"We will see, Kimbo, we shall see." Zanok stated in evil tone after Kimbo left.
^^^^^^^^^^
"Whew. I never thought those two hours would be up!" Gohan stated, relieved that his study time was over. This was meant to be his week off.
"YAY! BIG BWOTHA! CAN YOU TAKE ME TO GET SOME MOW TOYS!" Goten yelled in excitement.
"*sigh* Sure Goten. It's probably more fun than studying anyway." Gohan responded.
"YAY! I WUV YOU BIG BWOTHA!"
"I love you to squirt." Gohan smiled. His brother was always just too cute. (A/N: Aww! Brotherly love moment!)
^^^^^^^^^^
As Gohan and Goten walked towards the toy store in Satan City, Gohan couldn't help but stop to look at a poster.
"Hey squirt, wait up a minute. I want to see what this sign says." Gohan told his brother.
The sign said, "Come to The World Martial Arts Tournament! Tickets are 20 dollars for adults, 10 dollars for children! The prize for fighters are…
Champion: 10 million zeni
2nd Prize: 7 million zeni
3rd Prize: 4 million zeni
Don't miss out on this years tournament! The location is at Paradise Island [3]!"
Hm. Looks like they're having another tournament. I should tell the others about this. It might be fun.
"Okay, Goten. Let's go and get those toys you want." Gohan muttered.
"YAY! Toys, toys, hew I come!"
^^^^^^^^^^
After getting the toys that Goten wanted, and taking him home, Gohan decided to go and tell the rest of the gang about the tournament. He was heading off to the Lookout first, then he would go to Kame House, and then Capsule Corp., considering the fact that Vegeta would most likely want a spar, he figured that C.C. would take the longest.
After finally arriving at the Lookout; Gohan got greeted in a very nice manner. Meaning Dende ran up to him and gave him a hug. For some reason Dende seemed to be hiding something though.
"Hi, Gohan! How's life treating you?" Dende asked. He was desperately trying to hide the fact that
a. He had been doin' drugs.
and
b. He might just have something planned for our favorite demi-saiyan.
"It's fine Dende. How 'bout you?
"Boring. Of course, hehe, watching a planet all day can be very, very boring.
Piccolo then emerged from inside the building that's on the Lookout (A/N: Does it even have a name?).
"Hi, Piccolo! I actually came here to talk to you!"
"So what did you come to tell me?" Piccolo questioned.
"I just wanted to tell you that there's going to be a martial arts tournament next month, and I was wondering if you want to come." Gohan replied.
"If there's good compition for once, then I'll come.
"I take it as your coming then. Anyway, I need to go tell the others, so bye, guys!"
"Bye, Gohan!" Dende yelled.
Dende went back into the building.
Whew! That was close! I could have been discovered! It would mess up my totally awesome plan! Dende thought.
"Ugh! Popo! I need another brandy, on the double!" Dende ordered. At this rate, Popo should just get him a alcohol cart for Christmas…
^^^^^^^^^^
"Hey, Krillin! You home?" Gohan yelled as he touched down on Kame Island.
"Yeah, yeah! You don't have to yell so loud!" Krillin stated as he came out of the small house. "So what do you need?"
"I just stopped by to tell you that there's going to be a martial arts competition in about a month, and I was wondering if you want to participate." Gohan responded.
"With you in it, I don't stand a chance anyway."
"There's a ton of prize money for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place?" Gohan muttered, trying to get his midget friend to join.
"Prize money? I'm in." Juuhachigou [4] stated as she walked out of the small house. (A/N: Juuhachigou and Krillin are going to get married sometime in like 6 months, okay? That means Marron will be born in a few years.)
"Hi, Juuhachigou!"
"Hi, Gohan. There's been something I've been meaning to tell you for awhile." Gohan quirked an eyebrow. "I just wanted to thank you for getting me out of that blasted Cell's body." Juuhachigou stated.
"It was nothin'!" Gohan responded while scratching the back of his head.
"Anyway, I guess I'll enter the tournament." Krillin muttered.
"Hey Krillin? Could you do me a favor?" Gohan questioned.
"What?"
"Could you tell Yamcha about the tournament. He's always moving around everywhere with his baseball career, so I have no idea where he might be now."
"Sure, I'll tell him"
"Thanks. I guess I'll see you at the tournament then. I've got to go, so bye!"
"See ya later!" Krillin yelled.
^^^^^^^^^^
"A stupid tournament? Hmph. Why should I enter? After all, it's not like the onna [5] doesn't have any money." Vegeta mumbled.
"It would give you a challenge. I'll be entering. So will Piccolo, Krillin, and Juuhachigou."
"Whatever."
Vegeta thought about it for a moment. Hmph. The only competition would be the brat and the namek, but I might as well enter.
"Fine, brat. I'll enter.
"Thanks Vegeta! I knew you would!"
"On ONE condition."
"Hm?
"Spar with me now, brat."
"Why did I see that coming?"
"Just do it, baka!"
"Fine. I guess poor Veggie has ran out of sparring partners other than me. I feel so special." Gohan stated.
^^^^^^^^^^
Now that Gohan was done telling all the people he thought would enter the tournament, he just had one more person to tell.
"Hey, mom?"
"Yes, Gohan?"
"There's this martial arts tournament coming up, and-" but he was cut off.
"ABSOLUTLY NOT! I WON'T HAVE MY BABY IN ONE OF THOSE TOURNAMENTS! YOU COULD GET HURT!" Chichi screamed.
"Mom, for one, I beat Cell, there are only about five people entering the tournament who could even scratch me. On top of that…there's prize money?"
"You'de better train for that tournament then! We need money…NOW!"
"Thanks, mom!" Gohan muttered. He knew the money thing would work.
^^^^^^^^^^
Gohan twisted and turned in his sleep. He was being haunted by yet another nightmare. Sheesh! You'd think someone was making these nightmares!
^^^^^^^^^^(nightmare)
Zanok lifted Gohan up by his head. He slowly brought Gohan up to his face.
"Judging by the look on your face, I would say your not having too much fun, now are you, Gohan?"
All he got in response was a moan of pain.
"Funny. I'm having so much fun. I don't see why you shouldn't be." Zanok stated evilly.
Gohan spit on Zanok's face. It was the only thing he could do. He was too damaged to do anything else.
"Grrr! You baka! You will pay dearly for that! NOONE spits upon ME!" Zanok screeched.
"Oh, s-so your s-spoiled. I-I s-see." Gohan mumbled.
"Hmph. You might not suffer at the moment for what you have done, but I guarantee you will in the near future, brat." Zanok sent a ki blast that went through Gohan's stomach.
Gohan coughed up a bit of blood as he tried to stand, but he couldn't. He was just too weak at the moment.
"Hmph. I might as well continue having my fun." Zanok stated as he sent another blast strait for Gohan's chest…and succeeded in blasting a hole strait through it.
^^^^^^^^^^
A/N: PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[1] Kimbo came from the name 'Simba.' There is also this anime called 'Kimba', so it was a mixture of both with a 'o' on the end.
[2] Arrigoto means 'thank you' in Japanese.
[3] I forgot the name of the real location.
[4] Juuhachigou is 18 for all the dubbies. Actually, Juuhachigou literally translates to 'Android 18' from the Japanes language.
[5] Onna means 'woman' in Japanese.
