"Man, can you believe we all made it to the second round?" Yamcha asked, leaning back in his chair. The group was sitting in the food court and waiting for Bulma, Chauzo, and Chichi to join them before the second round.

"Yeah, those fighters were nothing compared to me. I was kind of hoping it would've lasted longer," Krillin said, taking a drink of his water.

"Just remember that we all now have to fight one another in the second round," Piccolo said, standing behind Gohan's chair.

Krillin's face fell when he suddenly remembered he was sitting with two full blood Saiyans and two half Saiyans, all whom can turn Super Saiyans, and Piccolo. Well, it was a good victory while it lasted. He took another drink and looked up when he saw Chauzo running towards them and hugged Tien around the legs but he didn't see Bulma or Chichi with him. "Hey Chauzo, where's Bulma and Chic..."

"I SAID I WAS SORRY! SOMEONE HELP ME FROM THIS MAD WOMAN!" a voice yelled over the entire food court.

"WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS YOU GUYS!" came another voice.

The Z-fighters all stood up to see what was going on and saw Master Roshi with Oolong not far behind running in fear and soon they found out why. Right behind the two was Chichi, waving her frying pan in the air.

"YOU PERVETED OLD MAN! WAIT UNTIL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!"

"THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO OOLONG!" came Bulma, who was right behind Chichi with baby Trunks.

The Z-fighters just watched as their master and friend ran passed them with the two girls right behind and looked at Chauzo for an answer.

"Master Roshi and Oolong thought Bulma and Chichi were someone else and touched their butts," he said with a laugh. He stopped laughing and floats up to Tien's height and looked around the food court.

"What is it?" Tien asked, wondering what made his friend suddenly on guard.

"I feel them but their ki is completely different," he said, looking back and fourth. He suddenly heard a squeal and looked towards the ice cream parlor and saw the two Dragyan sisters jumping up and down as the man behind the counter handed them an ice cream cone with a scoop of every since flavor, chocolate, whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry. "There they are."

The group suddenly looked in the direction and watched as the girls just smiled at the ice cream and finished it off in five seconds.

"Man, I thought Goku was the only one who can eat like that," Krillin said. He then knew what Chauzo was talking about their ki being different. It was actually controlled. "Well what do you know, they actually controlled their ki."

"Yeah but you can still feel another energy deep in there," Gohan said. "I wonder why they suddenly controlled it."

"They're calm and enjoying their day," Trunks said with a smile. He saw the group look at him weird and knew he had to explain. "Well, when Fira visited me she was eating a hotdog and talking like a regular person and saying she sees why the planet was still in one piece. Renkia arrived with food as well and said they needed to go to the amusement park."

"You're point?" Vegeta asked.

"Well, I felt their ki unbalanced but it was a controlled unbalanced but when they saw you and you decided to attack them, I felt their ki go out of control."

"When Renkia was with me she was fine too but when dad showed up it went out of control," Gohan said.

"Same when Fira was talking to me. When you mentioned Goku or Vegeta's name they turned dark and when you try to get in their way they lose control," Piccolo said, understanding what Trunks was talking about.

"So you're saying is that these girls are more or less the good guys when they want to be?" Krillin asked.

"Yeah. The way they talk and act I would say they don't want to be mean or kill anyone but have fun," Trunks said, remembering when Piccolo said Fira didn't like to show her Saiyan said.

"So what are we suppose to do?" Yamcha asked. "Be buddy buddy with them and hope they just forget about killing Goku and Vegeta?"

Trunks nodded when the announcer came over the intercom.

"Is this thing on? Ladies and gentleman, if you please return to your seats we will soon begin the second round of the tournament and the fighters that won the first round, please return the arena."

The grouped looked at one another and headed off towards the arena. "Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the second round of the tournament. This round we will take the eight winner fighters and pair them up until we have four fighters left. So let s see who fights who this round."

The Z-fighters looked up at the screen to see who they would be fighting. Krillin, Piccolo, Tien, and Yamcha looked at one another when they were paired to fight their Saiyan friends.

"Well, isn't this convenient," Krillin said. He looked off to the end of the arena and saw the Dragyan sisters waving at them with smiles on their faces. "Yeah, they're acting like normal kids now. Fixing the fight and smiling about it."

"Our first battle will be Vegeta and Piccolo."

Vegeta stood in the middle of the arena and smiled when Piccolo walked up to him. "Ready to get beaten?" Vegeta asked with a smirk.

"You might have to defeat me in this round but that doesn't mean I'm going to make it easier for you," Piccolo said, returning a smirk. He powered up the moment the horn sounded for the round to start and flew towards Vegeta at full force.

Vegeta blocked him but the block still sent him back a little. He smirked once more and started throwing ki blasts until all that was left was a cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared, Piccolo was no where to be seen. Vegeta looked around but didn't see the green Namik but he sensed an attack from above him and looked up to see Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon racing towards him. "Is that all you got?" Vegeta disappeared before the attack could hit him and reappeared behind Piccolo, double punching him in the back of the head.

The punch sent Piccolo flying towards the water but instead of landing in the water, Piccolo just skimmed it and flew right back up to meet Vegeta with attacks of punches and kicks.

All awhile the fight was going on, Mr. Satan just gawked at the screen when he realized that these eight fighters were the ones at the Cell Games one month ago and assumed they were here to take back the title of champion for defeating Cell. He looked around and realized he wouldn't be able to sneak out of there without people watching him so he decided the moment the second round was over he would make is great escape. He turned back to the screen and gasped when the small man with suddenly had yellow hair instead of black and punched the green guy right into the water.

"And the winner is Vegeta."

Piccolo climbed out of the water and stared at Vegeta in understanding before taking off and away from the arena.
