I do not own Dragon Ball or any of the Dragon Ball series, this is fanfiction only.
The World Martial Arts Tournament was a major event in almost everyone's lives. The people that watched and the people that fight came from all over the world. The fighters were practitioners of their own kind of martial arts, everything from true masters to students that wanted to honor their teacher's school, to complete utter psychos and people who were in it for the money.
Kagaro did not need the money one bit, Lapis Corp was only second to Capsule Corp in its importance and customer base. The inventions made by both made the world a much easier and friendlier place to live in. Kagaro and most of the Saiyans were going to participate in the tournament for the promise of a good honorable fight.
I guess to some people they would fall under the psychos group, but that is something they simply would say because they did not understand. To a super Saiyans, the need for fighting was as real as the need for water or air. After generations of being bred to be warriors there was no question about it, they needed to fight or train in order for them to deal with their stress and believe me stress can be a real killer.
Kagaro being more open minded did train profusely and frequently, but his knack for coming up with new inventions became an outlet for his stress. Vegeta and Nappa dealt with it through creating even more difficult security protocols for the companies they were the chief of security for.
Raditz and Goku did it the old fashion way, they fought daily. Raditz fought the idiots that tried to rip off Lapis Corp by placing an order and then tried to steal it from him by attacking him when he went to deliver and receive payment for the item ordered. Goku was lucky enough to be a member of the turtle school and so he was never short on people to fight.
The turtle hermit, or otherwise named Master Roshi was a very well known practitioner and master of his own style of training and martial arts. The turtle school had one school that hated them more than anything and that was the Crane school and their master a narcissistic, selfish man by the name of Master Shen.
Master Shin seemed to breathe and live to either try and kill everyone that has ever been a student of Roshi or has trained under the banner of the turtle school. This meant that he always sent student after student to fight the students of the turtle school. Often the students would see the difference in the way the Masters treated their students and would live the Crane school to join Roshi and Turtle school.
Gohan took a different approach than the rest in the way to deal with his stress, he took to learning like a fish to water. He studied everything he could get his hands on and trained like there was no tomorrow. The way the study was his was to make his mother happy, but after their trip to planet Namek, he began to study for the sheer joy of learning new and interesting things.
The tournament had two separate stages one was the preliminary fights and the other was the tournament. Only the best of the group of getting to participate in the tournament and there were some rather a stick rules to the tournament. "No one was allowed to kill their opponent. No one could bring or use any weapons other than the ones that were part of their body. And a winner was decided by knockout or ring out being thrown off the arena area."
As everyone heard the head referee say these words they were each given a number and they fought according to the division charts. Each of the Saiyans was lucky to be placed far enough from each other in the charts that they would only face each other in the finals.
Nappa was having a hard enough of a time with all the stares she was getting like she said the armor did make her figure stand out. Most of the participants were in fact men and some were dumb enough to try and grope her. When one did the first time he was stopped by a turban wearing man but as he was shoved away from the pervert the turban fell and it was then she saw his third eye.
Nappa had found the man Kagaro said would one day be her husband and she did find him to be quite attractive if the blush on her face said anything. "Excuse the stares of these people, ma'am. But you have to understand they did not expect to find a beauty such as yourself participating in this tournament. I am Tien Shinhan and you are?"
"I am called Nappa it is nice to finally meet a nice young man. I am the chief of security for Lapis Corp. If you believe in fortune telling then I also happen to be according to my friend your future wife. " Tien was caught by surprise to hear both parts. She must be tough to keep something like Lapis Corp safe, but what really sent his heart all aflutter was her declaration she was his future wife.
Many women found his physical appearance strange if not outright freaky. They were completely turned off by his third eye, which is why he tried wearing a turban. But this young woman named Nappa was not disturbed at all by seeing his third eye, instead found him attractive if the blushing color on her face was any indication. During this brief meeting between the two warriors they each found something they were not expecting, they fell in love.
Kagaro was waiting for his opponent to show up when he finally showed up he looked like a mixture between a tiger and a human. He was a boastful, loud and egocentric fighter. Trying to intimidate him was the last straw. Kagaro showed him and the people watching his hand with only his index finger pointing straight up. "One finger, that is all I will need for such a dishonorable fighter such as you."
The Tigerman took offense at this and started to try and punch him but as each punch was evaded he saw Kagaro smile and with a flicker of his finger he sent the opponent slamming against the wall and out of the ring. Kagaro was declared the winner by ring out.
The other saiyans did the same as they took the hint. It was a very useful way to limit their power. If they fought at full power they could very easily kill their opponents and then they would be disqualified from ever participating in the tournament again and they did not want that to happen.
After each of their fights, the other fighters were giving them looks of fear and respect as they dealt with their opponents in a quick but honorable fashion. The preliminary fights were over soon enough Goku's friends Yamcha and Tien made it to the finals. Of the group of Saiyans made it all the way to the final fights of the preliminaries. They ended up facing each other.
That was the only time they showed what they were capable off and only Nappa and Vegeta were defeated by Goku and Kagaro. Raditz was defeated by Gohan in a rather impressive display of energy based attacks. So, in the end, the only ones from their group that ended fighting in the finals were Goku, Gohan, and Kagaro.
Tien was smiling quite a bit and so was Nappa for some strange reason. Tien faced Goku and Yamcha faced Piccolo of all people. He was easily defeated by the Namek, and finally came down and bowed in front of Kagaro. "I would like to thank you for what you did for my people. Dende sent me a message telling me you used the wish to restore my home world, where you could have instead made a wish for yourself. Thank you."
Goku was smiling at seeing how much Piccolo had changed over this much time. He was no longer the evil tyrant that he fought him during his youth so long ago. But then again this was his second incarnation so it could be it was because he had some good friends this time.
"Looks like your vision was dead on. I did find my man and he did look like you told me. Which only means you are also going to find ms. 18 one day too. So cheer up and get your head in the game. I expect you to help me with the wedding costs, I can't do that on my salary alone. " Nappa was clearly teasing him because she had one of the best-paying jobs in Lapis Corp.
Goku fought against Yamcha and won by a very small margin. The namek nearly had him but he used an energy blast that made him trip while trying to avoid it and fell outside the arena area, it was called a ring out and Goku won, Yamcha congratulated Goku on his victory, but he wanted a rematch in the next tournament.
Gohan fought bravely against Piccolo and the fight was over a lot quicker than the namek expected. The kid had an analytical approach to his fighting he did not expect knowing his father. In the end, he was either going to be knocked out into a coma or suffer the embarrassment of a ring out. He fought until he was knocked out. Piccolo had a rather weird smile on his face as he was on the arena floor.
Goku faced Gohan and Gohan lost by ring out when his own father knocked him out of the sky with a Kamehameha wave. The finals were as he anticipated and it was brother against brother and the fight was so intense that only master Roshi was able to truly see it all. They moved so fast it was causing damage on the arena floor as they fought each other.
In the air they saw only a few flashes of light as each other's energy attack was cancelled by the others. In the end it was a contest of between the Garlic Gun and the Kamehameha wave. Goku knocked his brother out as the Kamehameha wave proved to be much stronger than his Garlic Gun.
Goku was declared the winner and Kagaro smiled at him as he was taken to the clinic for treatment and recovery. There he was met by Vegeta. "You can fool Kakarot Kagaro, but you can not fool me. You did not use the Garlic Gun at full power. You basically forfeited the match. I demand to know why! And quit pretending you are in pain. That didn't even make you feel numb."
"My brother does not have a job like the rest of us do Vegeta. I wanted him to have the prize money and my nephew to feel proud of his father. You will understand this one day when you are a father. " Vegeta told him he had no idea what he was talking about.
" You and Bulma have been getting close and I know it. My dead wife gave me the gift of seeing the future. I can see your son, and your marriage with Bulma, so stop pretending there is no reason why you should hide it. I know you will be happy with her, oh mighty king Vegeta. " Vegeta told him he would never be king since their home world is no more.
Kagaro got up much to the nurses surprise. " You never know cousin, someone could make a wish on the Dragon balls and restore our home world, now wouldn't that be nice? A planet Vegeta free of Frieza's control."
Vegeta smiled and had to admit that was a rather nice idea after all. The tournament was over and to the winner also received an all you can eat victory dinner. He, of course, invited his fellow saiyans and friends and family to attend. Chichi was used to seeing him eat, but was surprised to see the other saiyans also ate the same way.
Piccolo had a single plate of salad while they watched the saiyans eat dish after dish. The restaurant had planned this to be a promotional thing. The winners of the world martial arts tournament eat here kind of thing. But the saiyans ate like they had a black hole in their stomach.
The restaurant began to run out of things to cook and the manager was asking if he knew any good shoe leather recipes, the cooked asked if it was for the guest. The manager looking down said of course not, it was for himself. He would have to close down the restaurant for a solid week just to get all the ingredients they needed to reopen.
Good thing the recycling bot made food production so cheap and thus made food more affordable, or else instead of being an all you can eat thing, it would be a going out of business event.
Yamcha heard from Nappa that he could see the future so he decided to ask him if there was anyone special for him in the future. Kagaro began to almost laugh as he opened his eyes after seeing his future family. He only asked what was so funny? "Yamcha are you allergic to cats?" Yamcha told him no his best friend was a cat.
"Well let's just say that you will meet a tiger woman in a bar sometime in your future. You will try to sneak off her establishment without paying for your tab. She will make you work there as a waiter till you pay your bar tab off.. I see you with no less than 6 baby girls all as lovely as their mother. The strange thing is she has blue fur.. Does the name Puar mean anything to you? "
