Chapter 1: Match 1

After the preliminary rounds, Rayon and Lyric are seen standing by one of the walls with Rayon against said wall with his arms crossed trying to look angry at Lyric as she was floating up to be around his height and was rubbing his bald head while giggling at his face. This was the sight that the Z fighters, Kami, and Ma Junior with each group having different thoughts looking at the two.

Kami or as he would be liked to be known as right now Hero senses that the male is stronger than most of the humans here and that the female is a Makyan just like Garlic was but what was concerning to him was that she was stronger than Goku and Piccolo. 'How can this be possible for her to have such a high power level when not even Goku's power level isn't there yet and is she evil like Garlic was or is she pure-hearted.' Kami thinks to himself not thinking to sense if she was pure-hearted or not.

The Z fighters and Anonymous smiles at the sight of the two as they seem to be the best of friends and from the power they sensed from the two this will be an interesting tournament. "Wow, they're strong especially the female I can't wait to fight them in this tournament," Goku said excitedly at the prospect of fighting them while Anonymous smirks that another female was strong.

Ma Junior scowls at the two especially the female who seems to be stronger than him or even Goku as this means that his world domination with these new fighters is put to a halt. 'Looks like I need to train even more once I defeat Goku here." Ma Junior thinks as he clenches his fist at this not seeing Hero smirking at him.

A few minutes later the world tournament announcer came in with a whiteboard with a box with some slips of paper with numbers on them. "Okay everyone for anyone whose new to the tournament here's some rules for it number one no hits below the belt, number two if you fall unconscious you lose, number three if you fall out of the ring you lose, number four any use of weapons will disqualify you and finally number five if you kill your opponent your disqualified and now once I call your name please come up to pick your number." The announcer tells them then goes to his clipboard with the names. "First up Rayon." The announcer calls for Rayon to come up.

Rayon ducks his head away from Lyric who pouts at this as he walks up to the announcer, says hello to him then picks up the number five slot and shows it to the announcer. "Rayon has number five so he'll be the third match." The announcer says as a monk writes the name then the announcer goes to call the next name as Rayon goes back to Lyric who tries to rub his head but wasn't successful. "Son Goku please come up." The announcer calls out to Goku.

Goku pounds his fist together as he walks up to the box to pick up his slip which turns out to be number seven. "Aw man, the last match again I hope I get to fight someone strong." Goku said disappointed that he for the third time is in the last match as the monk writes Goku's name on number seven. "Next is Tien Shinhan, please come up." The announcer calls out for Tien.

Tien walks up to the box wondering who he would face in this tournament as there's Goku, the new Piccolo from what Goku told him, and now the two new fighters that seem to be just as strong as him or Goku. Tien then puts his hand in the box drawing the number one slot putting him on the other end of the barrack. "Hmm, Tien has number one putting him in the first match." The announcer said as the monk wrote Tien's name on the board. "Next up Lyric can you please come up." He calls out to Lyric to get her number.

Lyric floats down to the ground then she walks over to the box to grab her slip of paper which turns out to be number six which means she'll be fighting Rayon. "Lyric has number six putting her in the third match against Rayon." The announcer tells them as the monk writes the name which causes both Rayon and Lyric to smirk at each other while Goku laughs at the thought that he'll be able to fight one of them in the second round if he wins his first round. "Next is Hero please come up." The announcer calls out to Hero to come up.

Hero walks up while rubbing the back of his head and once at the box he slips his hand inside to grab his piece of paper which shows to be number three. "Ah, number three putting Hero in the second match." The announcer says as the monk writes Hero's name on the board while Hero goes back to where he was before. "Okay next is Krill...WAIT WHAT I THOUGHT YOU DIED HOW ARE YOU ALIVE!" The announcer yelled out at the thought that Krillin died three years ago.

Krillin walks up to the announcer while laughing and rubbing his bald head at this and once near the box puts his hand in it drawing the number two from the box. "Aw man, I have to fight Tien in the first round." Krillin complains about the fact that he has to fight one of his friends in this tournament. "Okay K-k-Krillin has number two putting him against Tien can we get Ma Junior to come up please." The announcer says as the monk writes the name on the board.

Ma Junior strolls over to the box then when he is near the box he turns to look at Goku and smirks at him as he slips his hand into the box drawing the number four causing him to frown. "Hmm, Ma Junior is against Hero which means Anonymous is against Goku in match four." The announcer says as the monk writes Ma Junior in match two and Anonymous in match four.

After a few minutes, the announcer enters the ring to call out the first two fighters to come out so that they can duke it out. "Okay, can Krillin and Tien come out to the ring!" The announcer shouts into his mic as Krillin and Tien come out to the ring then they bow to each other before going into their stances. "Krillin give me a good fight it will be good to see where we're at against each other." Tien tells Krillin as he gets ready to fight as soon as the word begin to let them fight. "Right Tien this should show how much I need to grow as a fighter." Krillin said as he tightens his fist also waiting to begin and a few seconds."BEGIN!" The announcer screams out as both fighters rush at each other.

Krillin while rushing at Tien is going to aim a punch to his face trying to get at least a good hit on Tien as he was a bit weaker than Tien but is going to try his best. Tien goes to block the successful attack but the attack does make him slide back some so he pulls Krillin towards him so that he can drive his fist into Krillin's face. Krillin's surprise at this makes it to where Tien's punch knocks Krillin away near the end of the ring before he backflips into the air.

Krillin starts to pant as he starts to recover some from the punch glad that Tien didn't follow till he didn't see him in the ring so he began to look around with no luck. "You started well Krillin but need more training." Krillin heard above him and as soon as he looked up he got a kick to the face causing him to fall outside of the ring. "And just like that Krillin is out of the ring making Tien the winner." The announcer says as Tien goes to offer his hand to Krillin who accepts then they walk back inside to which they pass Rayon and Lyric.

"You two did well. I hope if we fight it will be just as interesting." Rayon tells the two as Lyric nods her head at this. "Back at you man and if you don't me saying but the two of you seem like an odd pair." Tien said as Krillin makes his way back to the others to talk about something else. "Well, we've been together practically since we were kids and it's not the first time we've gotten that said to us but we keep it fun especially in training." Rayon said to Tien who nods and while wanting to know what fighting styles they have he rather see them in action.

A/N: Ok finally done with chapter 1 even if the first fight was short probably shorter than what it should be but I believe as my skills to write this story improve then so should the fights also for Kami's fight and then Goku's fight are going to be the same as they were so the second chapter will finish off matches 2-4
