Atticus stared into the golden gates of Heaven as he saw the other angels there, floating around and Heaven looked, honestly, quite boring to spend one's afterlife in.
"Alright, everyone's been informed." King Yemma told him.
"So, uh, I'm going to this Other World?" Atticus asked.
"Yes, I hope you have fun." King Yemma replied.
"I'll try." Atticus said.
"Run along now..." King Yemma said, sending him to the Other World.
Atticus yelped as he suddenly fell and ended up in a new place, away from Heaven, but not in Hell either, and looked around. "This must be it." Atticus said.
There was soon stomping heard.
Atticus sweated nervously before looking up to see someone come to him. "Whoa!" He yelped.
"You okay there?" The voice chuckled before leaning over to show a friendly face.
"Goku?" Atticus replied once he saw who it was. "You're here too?"
"Heh... Yeah... It's a bit of a long story..." Goku smiled bashfully.
"I bet." Atticus replied.
"Wait... What are you doing here?" Goku asked out of concern.
"I got shot by a Kai Blast from someone that was trying to shoot Cherry." Atticus sighed.
"Someone shot you...?" Goku frowned. "I'm sorry... And is your friend okay?"
"I guess so..." Atticus frowned back. "I just don't wanna die."
"If you want to be brought back, your friend will have to get the Dragon Balls and summon Shenron and wish you back," Goku said. "But until then, you can compete in the tournament."
"I suppose so..." Atticus replied. "Is the tournament hard?"
"I'm sure you can handle it." Goku chuckled to him.
"Great." Atticus smiled.
"I'm sorry this had to happen to you though..." Goku said to him.
"I guess I better get going then..." Atticus replied.
They soon walked off together into the tournament, and where it sounded like it was starting.
"Did it just start?" Atticus asked Goku.
"Kinda, I just wanted to warm-up first before I came in," Goku said to him. "Then I saw you."
"Cool," Atticus smiled. "I wonder who my opponent will be?"
"I guess we'll find out." Goku smiled back.
Atticus soon took a seat while Goku got ready.
"All right, everyone, let's get this show on the road!" The host announced.
Atticus clapped along with the audience. 'This is going to be great, I just know it.' Atticus thought to himself.
The announcer soon informed the audience of a match of Goku. Goku waved to Atticus as he came out onto the field.
"You can do this, Goku!" Atticus called out.
"Looks like your boy's lost again!" A voice laughed.
"Why are you laughing? You laugh at the stupidest things!" Another voice replied. "Laugh at that ring on your head!"
Atticus began to look around for the source of the laughs. When he looked over, he saw two certain creatures who were sitting together.
"Who or what are those two?" Atticus asked before hearing lots of gasp from audience after hearing that question. "What?"
"You don't know who I am?!" The male creature got in his face with a glare.
"Uh, sorry, should I?" Atticus replied.
"I am King Kai!" The creature told him.
Atticus simply blinked as he didn't know anything about him.
"How dare you not know me?!" The king scolded. "I should have your head for this!"
"But I'm already dead, and judging by your halo, you're dead too." Atticus replied innocently.
King Kai soon growled in defeat. "I MIGHT BE DEAD, BUT I'M STILL A KING!"
"So? Who cares?" The female spoke up.
"Who are the rest of you?" Atticus asked.
The others soon introduced themselves to Atticus and he soon sat down with them.
"So, you're Core People?" Atticus asked.
"That's right." South Kai nodded.
"Fascinating..." Atticus said. "Uh, let's watch the show, shall we?"
"As long as you stay off my bad side." King Kai warned while Atticus rolled his eyes to that.
"Be nice to our guest, he's new around here." East Kai scolded King Kai.
"I sure am." Atticus nodded.
King Kai grumbled to himself.
"Sorry about them, they tend to get in a fuss every now and then." South Kai hid a small smirk.
"So kind of like siblings?" Atticus asked.
"I suppose you could say that." South Kai replied.
"Well, my bet's on Goku to win this one," Atticus said as he got into it. "He's amazing."
"I know he's amazing." King Kai smirked.
South Kai seemed to smirk to that. "Look, there can only be one winner, and Froug is on a role, so obviously, the South is gonna take it."
"That's a very interesting theory you got there, but can you explain how Froug is gonna get by Goku?" King Kai retorted.
"Sounds like an alien frog." Atticus added.
"He's from the South Galaxy which is going down." King Kai smirked.
"How many galaxies are there?" Atticus asked.
"You don't get out much, do you, kid?" King Kai chuckled. "There are many Quadrants throughout the universe."
"Whoa, that's a lot," Atticus smiled. "Well, I hope I'll be next to compete after Goku."
Goku soon kicked Froug away against the stand. This made King Kai very pleased and thrilled.
"Well, that was fast." Atticus said.
"Smooth, Goku!" The host praised. "The former champion of Sayian advances to the final round with his choice of a partner!"
"All right, Goku, yes!" King Kai cheered while the South Kai looked frustrated.
Atticus looked ready to see who his master's partner was.
"I... Choose..." Goku drawled out before pointing to him. "Atticus!"
"Aw, me? You shouldn't have." Atticus replied innocently.
"Now let's see who Pikkon chooses as his partner." The host said.
"Uh, who's Pikkon?" Atticus asked as he came to join Goku.
A dark voice chuckled as he came behind Atticus, looking like a very tall and green man, even being taller than Goku.
"Oh... He kind of looks like Piccolo." Atticus said.
"He's from the West Quadrant." Goku informed.
"This is your partner?" Pikkon mocked.
"Trust me, Atticus is a strong fighter for his age." Goku told him.
"So Pikkon who's your partner going to be?" The host asked.
"Hmm... Let me think... Let me think..." Pikkon paused in thought before looking among the crowd to pick someone out like Goku did.
A fish-like being looked to Pikkon in slight fear before running away, not wanting to be anywhere near him.
Pikkon kept on looking around and where the only one that seemed to catch his interest as his partner was a man with blonde hair that seemed to be taller/bigger than Goku. "You there! Come forth!" he then called out.
The man looked around and pointed to himself.
"Yes, you!" Pikkon demanded.
The man then stood up and went to go towards the field. Atticus saw the size of the man Pikkon called over and was amazed.
"What did you say your name was?" Pikkon asked the blonde man.
"Olibu." The blonde man replied.
"Olibu, you're my partner." Pikkon told him.
"Sounds good to me..." Olibu replied before looking to Atticus.
Atticus looked back, a bit nervously, but did well to hide his fear.
"H-He sure is big." Atticus told Goku.
"You're not scared, are ya?" Goku asked jokingly.
"Huh? Me? Come on..." Atticus laughed a little before sighing as he was a little scared.
"Ooh, this will be an interesting final round." The host smiled.
"I know he looks big, but you can do it." Goku soothed Atticus.
"You're right, but on the safe side, I best not have my weight clothes on." Atticus said.
"Go get ready, I'll wait for ya." Goku smiled.
Atticus soon took off his weight clothes which included his boots.
"You know that kid, huh?" Olibu asked.
"He's my little buddy!" Goku smiled proudly. "I train him the ways he doesn't know back home."
"It's true." Atticus told Olibu once he was done taking off his weight clothes.
"Mind if I put these some place where they won't get trampled on?" Goku asked him.
"Sure." Atticus said as he stretched.
Goku smiled as he took care of the clothes for him. Olibu held out his hand to Atticus to be shook. Atticus soon shook Olibu's giant sized hand.
"Whoa." Goku said as he felt how heavy the weight clothes were.
"Oh, it's not too much work for you, is it, Goku?" Atticus asked.
"I see someone's been practicing." Goku chuckled.
Pikkon soon helped with the weight clothes too and could feel how heavy they were too.
"How much weight are in those?" Olibu asked.
"Nothing much?" Atticus smiled sheepishly.
Olibu soon picked up Atticus. "Are you a demigod or something?!" he then asked.
"Heh, I'd love to be, but I'm just a boy with lots of training." Atticus smiled sheepishly.
Their match was about to start. Olibu soon dropped Atticus. Atticus huffed to that with a slight glare.
"All right, let's get this match on!" The host called out as Atticus and Goku stood on one end with Olibu and Pikkon on the other.
As the match was about to begin, there were some jelly bean-like things floating.
"I bet that boy!" King Kai said about Atticus.
"Oh, sure, now you like him." West Kai muttered.
"The outcome will be different this time, Goku." Pikkon told the man in front of him.
"Uh, were those jelly bean things floating above us before?" Atticus asked as he noticed the jelly bean things.
"It's not polite to distract before a match, little boy." Olibu smirked.
"But... But... But..." Atticus stammered as he pointed.
They soon looked up and saw that Atticus was right.
Cherry soon slowly raised her hand.
"What did I tell you?" Drell asked.
"But I really wanna know!" Cherry piped up.
"Fine... What's up?" Drell allowed her to talk.
"What are those jelly bean people?" Cherry asked.
Drell saw what she meant and knew that those weren't people.
"Who... What... Um...?" Cherry stammered.
"That's not a jelly bean..." Drell said before panicking. "THAT'S JANEMBA!"
"Is that bad?" Cherry asked.
"What do you think?!" Drell replied.
"I don't know anything about Dragon Ball Z!" Cherry said to him.
"Oh, right." Drell said.
Cherry soon looked at him.
"I've never met him personally, but he's a demon and is pure evil with great power," Drell said to her. "He's basically the living embodiment of evil."
"Then this is bad." Cherry said.
"You think?!" Drell asked as he seemed to shake her violently.
"Aaaaugh!" Cherry yelped from the shaking.
Goku began to fight Pikkon while Olibu fought against Atticus in the Other World Tournament. The jelly bean things soon got closer.
"Seriously?! What are those?!" Atticus complained. "Who ordered jelly beans?!"
Something looking like a jelly bean soon burst through the ground of the arena.
"Wah!" Atticus yelped to that in surprise.
This made something very strange happen in the other worlds which involved the dead.
"What's going on?" Olibu asked.
"That's what I'd like to know!" Atticus replied.
"Grand Kai, what's happening?" Goku called out.
"Something's causing some weird stuff going down." The older man replied.
"I get it that much." Goku said.
"I think it's coming from Yemma's domain." Grand Kai replied.
"Let me go see, sir." Pikkon told him.
"Wait a second, we haven't finished the finals yet," Goku told his opponent. "I don't wanna take a forfeit, that's no way to win a championship!"
"Great advice for the kids." Olibu teased.
"I'll settle this right now," Grand Kai told them. "Goku, you go with Pikkon. We'll finish this fight when you two come back. Ciao."
"I wanna come too." Atticus said.
"Oh, can he?" Goku asked.
"Very well." Grand Kai allowed.
"Yes, sir." Pikkon told the older man.
"Wahoo!" Atticus cheered.
"Well, if you gotta go, you gotta go, and if you gotta go, you might as well go in style," Goku replied. "Grab my shoulder, 'Kay?"
Pikkon soon grabbed Goku's right shoulder and Atticus grabbed his left shoulder. Goku soon concentrated to take them to King Yemma. Suddenly, they teleported away from the battle ground and ended up in another place.
"Get a lot of this! Doesn't look like the check-in station I know," Goku told them. "Feels like King Yemma's inside that thing."
"Hello in there?" Atticus called out.
Goku soon sensed King Yemma's spirit.
"Oh, Goku, thank goodness," King Yemma replied as he seemed to show up. "An accident mutated one of our workers into this!"
"Whoa, looks like we'll have to break them out." Atticus said.
"Don't worry, King Yemma, we'll bust you out of there faster than you can say 'Snakeway'!" Goku called out. "Guys? Let's take a shot on three!"
"You sure about that?" Atticus asked.
"Sure I'm sure." Goku smiled.
"Okay..." Atticus replied before leaping with them.
Pikkon soon shot at the building that was engulfed. "Nothing... It must've absorbed it!" he then groaned.
"Let's give it one more try." Goku suggested.
"You got it." Atticus said as he was about to shoot with his own Kai Blast.
"Wait, boys!" King Yemma stopped them. "On the roof! The monster that did this is on the roof!"
"But... I don't see a monster on the roof?" Goku replied.
They soon flew up to the top of the roof. They soon saw a big blob of a monster.
