Chapter 11

In Memoriam

During the middle of the summer word of a tournament had gotten around. Finding that it was true bulla and Trunks got ready for it. That following October the tree of them (Bulla, Trunks, Bulma) packed and flew to the other side of the world, once arriving and signing up they ran into Pan and Goten who were also doing the tournament. Since they had 3 hours before the preliminaries the four of them went sightseeing while Bulma and Chi-chi checked in the hotel and went for a massage.

A half hour before it started they headed back to the stadium to warm up. Bulla was really excited this was her first tournament ever; everyone else had done it before. They way they started never changed just like the rules. Bulla was up first against someone that was 3 feet taller than her, a rush of fear came at her but as quickly as it came it left and she acted on impulse. Bulla got behind him and than pushed him to the other side if the ring, he was confused but ran at her Bulla jumped up and came back down knocking him out of the ring.

Trunks was up next a sumo wrestler was his next opponent, the sumo took up most of the ring and when he started moving you could swear that the stage was going to break a part. Trunks moved much faster and had him down in less than 2 minutes.

Goten was second to last in the preliminaries and had to go against a pretty girl, the fight took longer than he expected, Goten didn't want to hurt her but he didn't want to hurt her but he didn't want to lose so soon either. He won because she went after him and he pushed her back. She never got her balance back and fell out of the ring.

Pan had her match the same time as Goten (because of multiple rings.) against what seemed like a little kid no older than 10 years and she was going to let him win but than changed her mind because she didn't want to look stupid so she made him lose by not letting him get up in three counts or less. Somehow the kid ended up with a few bruises on his arm nothing major.

Once the preliminaries ended there was about a half hour before the next round started so everyone hung out around the stadium. Suddenly Bulma ran up to Bulla and handed her a bag that she picked up for her.

"What's Bulla?"

"You'll see trunks just wait"

The tournament had started again the first rounds went easily for the group everyone made it to the semi-finals. At the hotel Pan was walking with Bulla when they heard a gunshot and someone screaming. When they got there a person was already dead and the killer got away. Bulla started screaming as visions of her fathers' death started coming back. Trunks ran in with Goten; saw what happened than started calming Bulla down.

The morning started out rough no one slept a wink. But as the day continued and the tournament got closer they didn't seem so grumpy and edgy. When it started the lineup was Trunks, Pan, Goten, and Bulla. The first fight between Trunks and Pan took forever they went to full power and stopped only when they couldn't move an arm anymore. It was a really close fight Trunks won because they didn't have the energy to stay up in the air they fell and Pan landed outside the ring first.

Bulla and Goten were up next. When she walked out and onto the ring Bulma and Trunks stopped talking, not only to see the fight but because the audience went silent. She was wearing an outfit that looked almost exactly like Vegeta's only it was made for her. As she walked to the center of the ring a sense of pride was running through her, bulla could feel her father's blood coursing through her. Once the announcer shut his mouth, Goten and Bulla started the fight. It was a lot of fun for her to be going against one of her best friends. Both gave it there all but in Bulla's eyes Goten's heart wasn't in it. Plus, when they went in depth with it Bulla had more energy and control of it then him, which was odd because 4 years ago she could hardly harness her power. He fight was tipping to her favor but then he started giving her a run for her money. She had never seen some of the things he was doing. Trunks was watching in amazement at some of the things he was pulling off at her. Dodging constantly as she tried to get enough energy for just one attack. Feeling her body swell with the power inside her like she was an empty shell filling with liquid. Once having just having enough energy she placed her hand in front of her like a finger gun then screamed out "Galick Gun". Goten went to dodge it but it clipped his left leg and he flew into the stone barrier. Goten was out, making Bulla the winner, now all that was left was Trunks. Goten was still down so bulla ran to him.

"Goten, are you okay?"

Slowly he stood up but was down again he ended up with a broken leg, the rest of the night she apologized and every time she did he told her that he was basically okay so he told her to stop worrying.

The final match happened two days later, everyone was looking forward to this match.

Welcome to the final match of the Tenkaichi tournament, the first contestant is the President of Capsule Corp. TRUNKS BRIEFS, and his opponent, his little sister BULLA BRIEFS, she may be smaller in age but not in strength, this is going to be hell of a fight folks, good luck to both fighters."

The gong rang and the fight started they started at full power and flew up into the sky the crowd watched in amazement. They two of them went at it Trunks was trying to out maneuver and outsmart her.

Bulla's P.O.V.

As the fight progressed my body started sweating, my hands got slimy from the sweat making my attacks harder to perform, I could see Trunks's face, it was dripping with sweat his hair looked shinny and the reflection of the sun and his super saiyan glow made him look like he came from the heavens. This was the first time I realized how much he changed over the years.

Trunks P.O.V.

Seeing her walk out before made me realize how much she truly looked up to her father. I wanted her to do on me what she did on me what she did when we practiced but before she could I attacked her withal my force. Because I could feel my father's blood pulse through me telling me not to be so chicken and fight like a man. (End P.O.V.)

"And Bulla is out making Trunks the next world tournament champion"

Trunks went to Bulla and helped her up. They both new their father was proud.

Later that night, after the party Bulla was Instant messaging Pan when she turned around to plug in her cell phone when she saw Vegeta standing there.

"Father, is that really you?"

"I don't have long I just wanted to say (clears throat) you did good this week and I am…um…proud of you"

Speechless all bulla could do was nodding her head as a thank you. He quickly hugged her than left. This was one week she would not and could not forget.
