Chapter 6

Hey everyone. I know I said I won't be posting chapters for two weeks or so, but this one I finished after I finished the other one and I couldn't stop writing the chapter. There are still a couple of more chapters to go through before the end and so far, I might add Majin Buu to the story.

I still have time to figure that one out, but in the meantime. Enjoy.

The Junior Division went pretty good with everyone putting on a great performance today especially Goten and Trunks, who had one of the best matches in recent history. The match was great for everyone to see, but a certain group of people thought different. The Z-Fighters had some weird thoughts going through their heads about Goten, but they were more worried about his injuries. Goten and Trunks's injuries didn't seemed bad, but considering on high their power levels were and the amount of damage they suffered, none of them wouldn't be surprised.

Everyone got to the infirmary and only Goku entered with Goten in his arms, everyone else decided to wait outside. Goku entered and placed Goten on an empty bed and the medical staff walked over to where there at and examined Goten.

"Thank you sir. We can take it from here." Said a medical staff.

Goku nodded and went to wait outside, but before he could Goten's tail wrapped around Goku's arm tightly.

"He doesn't want me to leave." Said Goku.

"Fine. You can help us out then."

Goku agreed to that.

"Alright can you take off his shirt so we can take care of his injuries."

Goku nodded and did so by having Goten sit up and took off his shirt. Both him and the doctors noticed more than just cuts and bruises, they saw some old bruises on his arms and his body and some "wipe" like markings on his back. Goku could tell that those bruises and markings were their for a long time, which is concerning. The doctors treated all of Goten's wounds and wrapped all of the bad wounds with bandages.

Goku wanted to tell everyone what has been going on while he was gone, but still couldn't move because of Goten's tail still wrapped around Goku's arm. Goku needs some answers, but can't so he decided to talk to Goten, even though he is out cold, but maybe he could hear him considering his tail is moving on its own.

"Hey Goten. It's ok. I'll be right back; I need to talk to the others about something real quick. If you need me, I'll be outside the door ok." Said Goku as he kneeled down to Goten's level.

Goten's tail unwrapped his tail from Goku's arm and Goku stood up and walked towards the door.

'He has a pretty strong grip for someone his age.' Thought Goku with a smirk on his face.

Goku exited the infirmary room and joined the group outside in the hallway.

"So how is Goten Dad?" said Gohan.

"He's ok. He did receive some bad injuries, but it's nothing too serious." Replied Goku.

"I'm sorry about that sir. I guess I got carried away. I tried to keep my power in check, but Goten kept pushing my power to the limits." Said Trunks.

"I'm sure it's not your fault Trunks." Said Goku.

"How so?" said Trunks, who was surprised at Goku's remark.

"Goten did get some injuries from battling you, but that's not what I'm concerned about. I'm more concerned about the injuries he had before he got here."

"What do you mean?" said Krillan.

"When I took off Goten's shirt, so the doctors can treat his injuries, I noticed that he had some old bruises and some weird markings all over his body. Does anyone know anything about that?"

Everyone was surprised except Gohan, who had an idea of what when on.

"I think I might know. It's probably because of Mom." Said Gohan, who looked down at the ground.

"Why is that?" said Krillan.

"Well Mom was like that with me before until I left home. I didn't know she was doing this to Goten though, but then again, I don't really ask Goten about that kind of stuff." Replied Gohan.

"What! Why would Chi-Chi do this?"

"She acted like this right after I told her that you died. She wasn't as bad until after Goten was born. By that time, it started to get worse because she kept abusing me for everything that I did."

"It is weird considering that Chi-Chi wasn't like this before."

"I guess she finally snapped. Instead of getting upset, she got mad at you for always leaving. Since she can't take it all out on you, she decided to take it out on Gohan and Goten." Said Piccolo

"I did it to protect everyone." Said Goku.

"How is going away protecting us. It didn't protect Goten and me from our Mom." Replied Gohan, who looked up at his father with a serious look.

"How was I suppose to know she would be like that."

"You leaving made her this way. If you stayed, this could have been avoided. She would of been mad at you for doing some reckless decisions, but she would of let that go and everything could of gone back to normal but no, you stayed in otherworld and train."

"Is that what you think I did. King Kai asked me to participate in the tournament and I did. I helped stopped Cell, Frieza, and his gang from terrorizing everyone and escape Hell."

"O good for you. You saved their lives, but not ours. Did you even think about your decision and how it would affect us. Did you even care?" yelled Gohan.

"I knew what I was thinking. Giving up my life was something I didn't want to do, but it was a giant sacrifice that affect me more than you know. Knowing that I can't go back to the live I cherish, the family I love so much. Losing all that made me wish I was in Hell, but King Kai was helped me through this and kept my mind off that topic and stay myself." Replied Goku

"That may have helped you out, but not for us."

"You didn't help out either."

Everyone turned around and saw Goten, who was leaning against the door frame while holding his shoulder.

"Goten. What are you doing up? You should be in bed." Said Krillan.

"I really couldn't with all that yelling. What is going out here?" Replied Goten.

"Telling Dad about what went on while he was in otherworld and how he could of prevented any of this from happening in the first place."

"Dad couldn't because he was dead. He's here and now he can change things for the better for both of us."

"He could have been here from the start, but he decided to stay away." Replied Gohan.

"STOP IT. YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BETTER EITHER." Yelled Goten, who was getting tired of all the arguing.

"What are you talking about." Replied Gohan.

"You left me with Mom for so long and instead of dealing with it with me, you left and stayed at Trunks's house. Dad is here and I know he will do something and not go away."

Gohan looked down at the ground realizing that Goten was right. Why should he yell at his father for something that he could of tried to stop himself.

"I'm sorry Dad. I guess I got mad at what happened to Goten that I decided to take it out on you."

"It's ok Gohan. I'm upset about this as well, but I can't do much until after we use the Dragonballs. I can do what I can for now until then." Replied Goku.

"Hey Kakarot. Don't forget about the tournament." Said Vegeta.

"I have other problems to deal with first."

"Don't worry about that. You got the rest of the day to deal with that later, you need to focus on this tournament."

"I told you I got other problems going on right now."

"Your younger brat will be fine here. Only fighters are allowed to be back here." Said Vegeta.

Goku was about to say something, but Goten decided to say something.

"Dad. You should go and fight. is right. I had my fun, you should have yours. I'll be safe here with everyone else."

Goku kneeled down to Goten's level.

"Are you sure? We can solve this problem first if you want."

"We can always do it after your fight. Besides I want to see you fight."

"Ok if your alright with that than I will fight."

Goten was happy to hear that and gave his Dad a hug. Goku lifted Goten up and put him on his shoulder and everyone went back to the preliminaries area in order to see who they are gonna fight. Everyone got there and the announcer and staff were bringing a big white board and a box with a hole on the top to the middle of the area. The announcer began to announcing people to come and draw their numbers.

"ALRIGHTY. WE GOT OUR TOUNRAMENT BRACKETS FILLED UP AND HERE IS WHAT WE HAVE….

Krillan vs. Pintar

Ma Jr (Piccolo) vs. Shibata

Videl vs. Spopovich

Goku vs Vegeta

Gohan vs. Naito

18 vs. Mr. Satan

Mighty Mask vs. Killa

Jewel vs. Yamu

(a/n: Spopovich and Yamu are not under the control of Babidi and the other two people are replacements for Shin and Kibito since they have no reason to appear at the tournament.)

Everyone's got who they were gonna face in the tournament, so everyone went inside in the waiting area and wait for them to be called up.

"NOW WE ARE GONNA START WITH OUR FIRST ROUND WITH KRILLAN AGAINST PINTAR." Announced the announcer.

Krillan and Pintar walked down to the ring and Krillan was getting irritated because of how Pintar kept bumping into him and making fun of his height. Both got to the ring and the match began. Krillan didn't wait and just threw a punch into Pintar's stomach, which stunned him and Krillan threw a kick to his face and Pintar went flying out of the ring.

"PINTAR FELL OUT OF THE RING. YOUR WINNER IS KRILLAN."

Krillan walked back into the waiting area enjoying his victory over his opponent.

"NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A SHOCKER. NOW LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT MATCH… NEXT WE HAVE MA JR VERSUS SHIBATA

Both contestants walked down to the ring and the match started. Piccolo just stood there with his eyes closed and arms crossed. Shibata was angry by that, so he went for a right cross, but Piccolo vanished and kick Shibata out of the ring.

"THESE MATCH ARE GETTING FASTER AND FASTER BY THE MINUTE. YOUR WINNER BY RING OUT IS MA JR."

Piccolo walked back into the waiting area.

"Well I guess I have to face Piccolo in the next round. O great just what I need." Said Krillan.

"Well if you think that's bad. If you do get passed the Namekian. You will have to face either Kakarot or myself in the 3rd round." Replied Vegeta just to get Krillan more worked up.

"Hey what makes you think you are going on to the 3rd round. One of you will be facing me and I won't be losing that easily." Said Videl.

"If you win your fight." Replied Vegeta.

Videl was starting to get angry at Vegeta because of his "rude" remarks, but Gohan was there to stop her from getting into more trouble. She will just have to wait for the opportunity to kick Vegeta's ass.

Back in the crowd…

"I guess things will start to get better when Goku and Vegeta go at it." Said Yamcha.

"That's true. What do you think Chi-Chi." Said Bulma.

Bulma turned to where Chi-Chi would be sitting, but she wasn't there.

"Hey Ox. Where did Chi-Chi disappear to?"

"I don't know. She said she needed to do something really quick and then she left."

"Weird."

Things are starting to get interesting. Videl and Vegeta are now rivals. That should be fun.

I'm done with this chapter and I'm almost done with the part of the story…Maybe.

I will be adding a father/son chapter at the end of the story to make a happy ending or it is something good to happen before the Majin Buu addition starts.

Thanks everyone and Happy Holidays
