Chapter 2

The day of the World Martial Arts Tournament has come and everyone around the world is ready to see some great matches and others are ready to prove who is the best in the world.

It is 11am and everyone is ready for the day except for one sleeping kid. Goten, who is still passed out on the floor managed to open his eyes and slowly get up from the cold, hard, and blooded ground. Goten's was aching with every move he made because of the beating he received from his mother last night. As Goten got up to his feet, Chi-Chi entered Goten's room all dressed up in her yellow dress.

"What are you doing still dressed like that? Your suppose to be dressed already. Bulma is coming to pick us up for the tournament here in a little bit. Unless you plan on going like that." Yelled Chi-Chi.

"No. I'll change now." Replied Goten.

"Ok. Well hurry it up then." Said Chi-Chi as she exited out of the room.

Goten walked painfully over to the bathroom to clean off the blood off his back and walked back to his room. Goten then walked over to his nightstand and pulled a blue and orange gi out of his nightstand and stripped down to his tighty whities and put it on. Once Goten finished getting ready, Goten walked to the living room and waited for Bulma to arrive.

20mins later…

Bulma arrived at the dome house and both Chi-Chi and Goten entered the ship and they left. Goten sat next to Trunks and started to talk like the old times, also while trying to avoid talking about what's been happening since they last met.

30mins later…

Everyone arrived at the island and was walking towards the front to sign in. They got to the check-in station and Trunks & Goten decided to go and sign in right away, so they approach the people behind the table.

"Alright another pair for the Junior Division." Said the guy behind the table.

"What!? Just great, their putting us with the little kids Goten." Said Trunks as he turned to Goten.

"That's bad. That's good to hear. At least I don't have to face the adults. I really didn't want to face the adults and lose right away." Thought Goten as he was lost in his mind.

"Ah. Goten. Are you in there?"

"Huh. Yeah Trunks."

"I said, I guess we will just have to entertain ourselves with the other kids until we face each other in the finals."

Everyone else signed up and started to head to the changing room. Along the way, they ran into Gohan, Videl, and Piccolo, who are standing underneath a tree talking to each other. Everyone walked up to them and they started talking like the good old days until Goku arrives. Goten's day was starting to get better since he saw his brother and he would be battling his best friend in the Junior Division. What more can he ask for since this is a good thing for him.

Then out of nowhere, two figures appeared infront of the group. One figure is a small lady who has pink hair sitting on a crystal ball mid-air and is wearing a black witch outfit and another figure is a tall man who has black spiky hair, has a halo above his head, and is wearing an orange and dark blue gi.

Everyone turned to see the two figures and instantly they knew who it was and they started to get tears of joy.

"Hey Guys. I'm back." Said the man with a smile.

"GOKU!" Yelled everyone.

With that said, almost everyone ran to Goku and hug him all happy to see their friend that they haven't seen in 7yrs is back. Goten stood next to Trunks under the tree just staring at his father. Goku looked around and saw Goten under the tree and when Goten saw that his father was looking at him, he looked down at the ground. Goku asked everyone to move to the side and he walked all the way to Goten. Goku then kneeled down to Goten's level.

"Hey Goten." Said Goku.

Goten just looked up at his father with tears in his eyes.

"What's the matter Goten?"

Goten still didn't say anything, but he ran into his father arms and hugged him tight. Everyone was happy to see the two sons meeting for the first time, but they had to ruin the reunion because they need to hurry to change before they start the Youth Division. Goku picked up Goten and put him on his right shoulder and everyone went to the changing room.

Everyone who is participating in the tournament went into the changing room, except Goten and Goku, who were already dressed up to compete and they just stayed outside in the hallway and they just talked. In Goten's mind, talking to his Dad made him feel great because he never had anyone to talk to except for Trunks (if he came over) and his mother, but all she does is hit him. Also, while talking to his Dad, he tried to avoid telling his Dad on what has been going on up till this point at home and what his mom has been doing to him because he wants this day to be good instead it leading to more trouble, even though his back and his arms are so sore.

Everyone came out of the changing room and everyone headed out to the fighter area (a/n: I don't know what you call it, but it's an area where all the fighters wait before they bring out the punching machine.). Everyone got to the area and look to see that their was a lot of people competing to fight and by the looks of it, there isn't any competition. Goten looked around and saw a guy that looked familiar. He was looking the other way and didn't even know that the Z fighters arrived. The guy was wearing a black karate outfit with red sweatbands and belt, and black boots with red laces. Goten just stared at him thinking of the last time he saw the guy.

Flashback

The flashback takes place six-months ago before the tournament and Goten, who is wearing his blue pajama is in his room playing with his hot wheel's track set.

Goten was outside playing with the animals this morning and when he came back home, he saw his mother with a guy on the couch, drinking. The guy is like 6.5ft tall with black short hair wearing a blue plaid shirt with a black shirt underneath, blue jeans, and brown cowboy boots. Both Chi-Chi and the Guy didn't say anything when Goten entered through the front door, but they knew he was there. Goten just went to his room and let them have their time together.

Anyway, Goten was playing with his toys and then the Guy opens the door with a beer in his hand and he couldn't even stand so he was leading on the doorway.

"Hello sir. Are you ok?" said Goten as he looked up at the guy.

"Ye.. I'm fine. I came in here because I thought it was your mom's room, but I guess not."

"Let me help you out." Said Goten as he stood up and went up to the guy.

When Goten touched his arm, the guy moved his arm and looked at Goten with a little bit of anger.

"Hey! I can find my way around." Yelled the Guy

"Sorry. It just looked like you are having a hard time standing up. Did you hurt yourself?"

"Naw. I don't get hurt. I just had too much alcohol that's all."

"What's that?"

"It's this."

The guy threw the rest of his alcohol in Goten's face. Their wasn't much alcohol left in the bottle, it was like one drink left. Goten stumbled back and used the front of his shirt to wipe the alcohol off his face.

"What was that for?" said Goten.

"You were starting to get on my nerve. You're lucky I didn't hit you."

"But I didn't do anything to you. I was helping you out. You don't have to be mean about it."

The Guy was starting to get annoyed with Goten and his complaining.

"You want mean; I'll show you mean!"

Goten knew what was gonna happen, so he tried to run to the other side of his room, but the guy managed to grab the back of Goten's shirt. Goten started to freak out because he wasn't moving so he unbutton the front of his shirt and he was free. The Guy fell backwards into the hallway and Goten decided to use the opportunity and run out of his room to find a hiding spot until The Guy decides to give up and go to bed.

Goten managed to get passed him, but he grabbed Goten's leg and started to pull Goten towards him. Goten struggled to get free, but he has no luck so he had tried putting more effort into getting free without hurting him. Goten struggled harder until the Guy's grip was almost broken, but still had a grip on his pajama pants, so Goten had no choice to take off his pants. Goten striped down to his tighty whities and he ran to the living room and hid under the couch. The Guy entered the living room and Goten tried his best to stay quiet, but the Guy manage to get grab Goten's legs and pulled him out from under the couch.

"Found you, you brat!" yelled the Guy as he's pulling Goten out from under the couch.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" yelled Goten.

Flashback Ended

Goten closed his eyes and looked away in horror trying to forget what happened next after he found him. What happened was something that he wished he could forget, but he can't because that was the worst experience he has ever went through and no one was there to help him.

"Hey Goten. What's the matter?" said Goku as he lowered himself to check on Goten.

"Nothing daddy. I'm fine." Replied Goten as he put on a fake smile on his face.

"Ok because this is a special day and we don't need anything to ruin it, now do we?"

"No way."

"That's the spirit."
