Chapter 2: The Tournament Begins

October 13th Age 750

Goku got dressed in his current purple ninja outfit and got ready for breakfast at the Grand Master's Restaurant.

"Goku are you sure you want to eat before the tournament, you could get sick during your matches." Chuck worried.

"No need to worry, Chuck!" Goku smiled "I plan to eat heaps for my breakfast, I can't fight on a full stomach!"

"Son-kun's right, Mr. Norris." Bulma nodded "His main weakness is hunger. He gets really weak when he's hungry."

Kuririn and Yanshin proceeded to follow Goku to the restaurant to have their breakfast also.

"I see." Chuck pondered. "By the way, where's your boyfriend? he hasn't come out of the bedroom yet."

"Oh, Yamcha"? Bulma wondered.

Normally Yamcha would be up by 7am if he wasn't training and 4am if he was training.

But it was already 9am and he hadn't come out for breakfast yet, Bulma worried about her boyfriend because he hasn't been 100% these past two weeks.

Grand Master's Restaurant

Yanshin's eyes widened in shock as he saw Goku engulf 50 plates of food for breakfast.

He had never seen ANYONE eat that much food before not even in the eating contests in Metropolis Island.

"Goku, are you sure you can fight after eating THAT much!?" he shouted in shock at the young monkey tailed boy. "Chuck's right, you definitely COULD get sick."

"Don't worry Yanshin-san." smiled Kuririn. "Goku can definitely fight after eating that much food. He's even ate that much at the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai five months ago."

"I see..." Yanshin replied to Kuririn. "So when did you two start doing martial arts?"

"Well, I started Martial Arts when I was very little, my grandpa trained me, then a year ago I started training under Kame-Sennin Ojii-chan." Goku explained as he ate his fifty-first plate of food.

"Then five months ago I started training around the world for the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai."

"As for me I was training since the age of five up until last year at Orinji Temple, the other monks there and I didn't get on well so last year I went to Muten Roshi-sama's place to train and I've been there since." Kuririn explained.

"How about you, Yanshin-san."

"Well, I've been training since I was three years old with my father, who was the master of the best dojo in Metropolis Island. He is also a police detective." explained Yanshin.

"I entered heaps of Martial Arts tournaments and I won the local championship in June, which allowed me to enter this tournament."

Goku and Kuririn both smiled.

"HEY WAITER! THIRTY MORE PLEASE!" Goku yelled at the waiter.

Both Yanshin and Kuririn fell from the table.

Grand Master's Palace

"Yamcha?" Bulma peeked though the door to check on Yamcha. "Yamcha, it's 10am, it's time for Goku's first match to start."

Yamcha was still in bed, fast asleep.

Bulma walked to her boyfriend and shook his shoulder, waking him up.

"AAAGGHH!" Yamcha woke up and slipped off the bed in fright.

"Bulma! IS IT REALLY 10AM!? I MUST BE MISSING GOKU'S MATCH!"

"Relax Yamcha, Goku's fight hasn't started yet." Bulma calmed her boyfriend down form his two proceeded to walk outside for the beginning of the tournament.

"By the way, where is everyone else?" Yamcha wondered as he looked around the island.

"They've all woken up before you and already left to watch and fight in the tournament." Bulma explained. "We'll all be on the stairs cheering for Goku."

"I do hope Puar and Oolong have shafe-shifted, especially Oolong." Yamcha wondered even further.

Grand Master's Tournament

"Welcome to the prestigious Grand Master's Tournament!" announced one of the Grand Masters. "As I explained yesterday, weapons are allowed but there will be NO KILLING, NO RAPING, NO OFFENSES what so ever, You may win by KO, fofeit or right out."

"This is going to be so cool!" Goku looked excitedly. "More experience for the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai!"

"I wonder who will fight who in this first round, today." smiled Chuck.

"NOW MAY THE TOURNAMENT BEGIN!" screamed the Grand Master. "FIRST UP, SON GOKU VS SUKURIKI KURIIN!"

"Alright, small fry!" Sukuriki went into his fighting stance to fight Goku, hopeful to beat him this time.

Goku also went into his fighting stance.

"AND BEGIN!"

Goku and Sukuriki both launch themselves at tried to grab Goku but Goku jumped onto the top of Sukuriki's head and then kicked him, knocking him out.

As one of the Grand Masters counted 10 backwards, Three familiar mechas snuck behind the palace and planned their move.

"This trophy will be perfect for me, the grat Emperor Pilaf." Pilaf spoke from inside the blue mech as he eyed the trophy next to the Grand Masters.

"MAI! While they are judging the contest, I want you to sneak behind the Grand Masters and steal the trophy!"

"Got it, sire" Mai agreed, climbing out of the mecha and using sleath spray to make herself snuck behind the Grand Master's seats and grabbed the trophy and then swiftly made it back to the others.

Meanwhile back at the fight, The Grand Master refereeing the match declared "1! TIME IS UP! SON GOKU WINS THE MATCH AND WILL MAKE IT TO THE QUATER FINALS!".

Goku's friends all jumped around and cheered as Goku gave Sukuriki a handshake.

"You've gotten a lot stronger than last time, kid." Sukuriki smiled. "You can beat Jackie Chun definitely in the next Tenkaichi Budokai!"

"Thanks, Sukuriki." Goku smiled back. "But I still got a lot of trainin' to beat Jackie."

"Son-kun's made it to the quarter finals, guys." Bulma smiled. "I can't believe Son-kun's made it to the Quater Finals in this tournament already!"

"These people are champions like Jackie Chun." Yamcha smiled. "Most of them are super powerful, well...except for Sukuriki Kuriin over there.I saw him lose in the same amount of time back at the Tenkaichi Budokai."

"Yep." Kuririn nodded in agreement."He got his ass kicked by Goku the same way at the Tenkaichi Budokai preliminaries."

"I hope I'm not up, next..." Oolong panicked while shapeshifted in his martial artist form.

"So I've been meaning to ask you kids, something." Chuck looked up at Goku's friends. "How old are you guys, anyways? Goku told me he was thirteen."

"Yamcha and I are seventeen and attending Senior High School in West City." Bulma explained.

"Senior High School, huh? Isn't there a maths contest in three weeks, that you kids should be preparing for? I have a cousin that studies there." Chuck spoke to the two teenagers.

"Well yeah, but we decided to take a break off school and watch our friend, Son-kun." Bulma smiled. "What's the point of studying if we're going to miss out on our friend fighting."

"How about you, Kuririn?" Chuck turned to Kuririn.

"I'm fourteen but I've never been in junior high school, only in Orinji Temple and at the Kame School." Kuririn explained.

"How about you Yanshin?"

"I'm seventeen also and attend Metropolis Senior High School" explained Yanshin.

"You know, the three of you have college exams next year." smiled Chuck Norris. "You all should study hard and make it to a good school."

"I already have a degree." smiled Bulma.

Yanshin and Yamcha both looked down on the ground, they have been spending more time doing Martial Arts than studying.

The fights carried on until the following participants made it into the quarter finals that late afternoon:

Son Goku

Yanshin

Xue Xiang

Chuck Norris

Bruce Lee

Frank Dux

Cuukii Mon-Star

Ryu

"Thank you all for participating and these eight for making it to the quarter finals. Rest well and we will see you all tommorow." the third Grand Master declared.

The gang all returned to the castle, and were heading to the restaurant for dinner when they heard one of the Grand Masters scream.

"THE TROPHY! THE TROPHY IS GONE! SOMEBODY HELP!"

Goku and the gang ran to the Grand Master's throne room when they saw the three of them panicking over the dissapeared trophy.

"Oh thank god, you are all here!" the fat Grand Master ran to Goku. "Somebody has stolen the Trophy! Without it the tournament cannot continue!"

"WHAT SOMEBODY STOLE THE TROPHY!?" Goku shouted "THAT'S HORRIBLE! I'LL GO AND KICK THERE ASSSES!"

"Do you have a security camera?" Chuck asked the Grand Master.

"Yes, we do..." nodded the Grand Master. The gang all walked into the security room and watched the spotted three familiar people behind the Grand Masters shortly after Goku KO'd Sukuriki.

"THAT'S EMPEROR PILAF!" Yamcha yelled "Why are they here and why do they want the trophy!?"

"Are they still on the island?" Chuck asked the Grand Master who was monitoring the control machine.

"Yes, they're on their way to the docks though." the Grand Master spotted the Pilaf gang.

"RIGHT! CHUCK, YAMCHA, YANSHIN, KURIRIN, SUKURIKI!" Goku yelled.

"LET'S GO AND KICK PILAF'S ASS AND GET THE TROPHY BACK!"

Grand Master's Dock

"Heheheh..." Pilaf laughed.

"Not long until we use this trophy to rule the world along with the Dragonballs!"

"Your plan was foolproof this time, sire" smiled Mai.

"Maybe this time we will even get the Dragonballs and you can rule the world!" Shuu smiled.

"NOT SO FAST PILAF!" Goku yelled as he, Yamcha, Yanshin, Chuck, Sukuriki and Kuririn arrived to stop them.

"OH SHIT! IT'S THE BRAT" Pilaf screamed as he, Mai and Shuu went back into their mechas and ran off with the trophy.

Goku and the gang ran at full speed chasing the emperor and his crooks.

"WAIT!"

The case carried on across the island, Pilaf shot missiles at the gang in an attempt to slow them all down but Yamcha and Yanshin jumped and ambushed Mai and Shuu.

"ROUGAFUFUKEN!" Yamcha screamed as he wrecked Mai's mecha, tearing her out of the machine and tying her up.

"FIST OF THE DINGO CLAW" screamed Yanshin as he also wrecked Shuu's mecha and did the same thing.

"Fist of the Dingo Claw? You trained under the Dingo Hermit?" Yamcha asked in wonderment.

"I should ask you the same, you trained in the Ookami house?" Yanshin also asked.

"Yeah, the Wolf Hermit was my master before I became a Desert Bandit." Yamcha explained.

Meanwhile Goku was running right close to Pilaf as he jumped up high and used his Niyoibo on him, breaking the glass roof of his mecha.

"EEEKKKKK" Pilaf screamed as his mecha was being destroyed by Goku.

"Now fot the finishing move...KA...ME...HA...ME...HAAAAAA!"

Goku launched the Kamehameha at Pilaf's mecha, destroying everything except Pilaf and the trophy.

"I'll take that!" Goku declared as he snatched the trophy from Pilaf's clutches, then tieing him up.

The Pilaf trio were then handed over to the Police and sent away to a maximum secrurity prison.

"You did a great job, Goku." smiled Chuck Norris. "I cannot wait to fight you in the finals, it will be a great match."

"Same here against you." Goku smiled was really pumped up for the finals tommorow.

"Goku, you did great..." Yamcha smiled. "You...did...gre..."

THUD!

Chuck, Goku, Kuririn, Yanshin and Sukuriki ran around Yamcha, who had fallen unconscious onto the floor.

"Yamcha-san!?" Kuririn tried to wake his friend up. "YAMCHA-SAN!? HEY YAMCHA-SAN!?"

Chuck leaned over to feel the teenager's head and looked worried.

"He's got a very bad fever...looks like exhaustion...very bad exhaustion...he needs to get to a hospital...and the infirmaries here at Dragon's Rock aren't good enough..."

"The nearest hospital is in West City." The Fat Grand Master explained. "He should be taken there immediately! We will accompany you to the hospital."

"Yamcha, hang in there..." Goku looked worried as Yamcha was placed in a gang entered the plane and flew to West City Children's Hospital.
