Chapter 2: An end to the tournament

"On with the second round!" The announcer said, "In this round we have, Goku vs Krillin, and then Zanto vs Piccolo!"

Goku and Krillin stepped into the ring and went into their fighting positions, Krillin charged but Goku saw through it, he dodged and kicked Krillin in the face, as Krillin flew Goku went and kicked him again, Krillin caught himself and the two charged at each other.

"You've improved Krillin." Goku said.

"You too, ready to lose Goku?" Krillin taunted, but got hit with an uppercut, which knocked him down.

"Nope, not now anyways, sorry." Goku said, moving at full speed and delivering a strong punch to Krillin's gut, causing him to fall unconscious.

"Goku wins!" the announcer said, Goku grabbed Krillin and left the arena.

Zanto walked onto the stage, Piccolo flew down. The two looked at each other for a few minutes, finally Piccolo spoke, "So, you're Goku's brat? looks like you may actually be about as strong as I was when I first fought him." Piccolo said. Zanto just huffed, then charged Piccolo with blinding speed.

"Actually, I'm almost as tough as he is now." Zanto said, then kicked Piccolo up, Zanto screamed and his power began to crack the stage under him, he cupped his hands at his side, "Kame-Hame-Ha!" Zanto screamed and launched his Kamehameha wave at Piccolo, it hit him and Piccolo landed hard on the ground. "I've been meaning to ask, how did your arm grow back?"

"Magic!" Piccolo growled then flung a ki ball at Zanto, who easily swatted it away, in the time it took Zanto to hit the ki ball though, Piccolo had moved in front of him and prepared another attack. "Demon Wave!" the yellow ball hit Zanto and exploded, sending both warriors flying away, Zanto on the ground outside of the arena.

"Piccolo wins! Would Goku and Piccolo please come to the stage!" The two warriors complied, "This is almost a repeat of the last tournament folks, these two have breathed through anyone who would try to stop them, and now meet in the finals!" the announcer said, "Begin!"

Piccolo ruthlessly charged Goku and began hitting him as much as possible, Goku not being able to do anything, until Piccolo finally kicked him in the face, sending him away, "Goku, today you die!" Piccolo screamed, his power building, then Piccolo shot a huge ball of energy at Goku, "Giant Demon Cannon!" Piccolo said.

Goku got into Kamehameha position, "Kame-Hame-HA!" Goku's Kamehameha meeting Piccolo's Giant Demon Cannon right in the middle of the arena, destroying the ground under it, then Goku began yelling "ARGH! Piccolo, this is fun, another time we'll fight in a place that doesn't restrict our movements!" Goku's attack then began to overtake Piccolo's attack, finally the blue attack destroyed the yellow ball, and overtook Piccolo, when the light subsided, Piccolo was coughing, and on his knees, Goku went and offered him his hand, "Come train with me and my kids, they'll get stronger and you'll have a chance to fight me.

"Fine!" Piccolo growled and flew off.

"Goku wins! Here's your money, good day everyone!" the announcer said, handing Goku a check and a belt, the crowd cheered.

A few hours later everyone was ready to leave, all of Goku's friends met him at the exit.

"Goku, we should all meet up again some time, at Roshi's house, hows next month?" Bulma said, everyone else nodded their heads in agreement.

"Yeah, how is next month Chi-chi?" Goku asked his wife.

"Zanto and I are going to see my father, you and Gohan are free, as long as Gohan can study while he's there." Chi-chi said.

"Alright! We get to go see daddy's friends!" Gohan said, dancing around.

"Bye guys!" Bulma said taking off.

"We'll be leaving too." Tien said as he and Chiaotzu took off.

"I'm due for some more training, I'll see you next month Goku, you too Gohan." Krillin said, taking off as well.

"Nimbus!" Goku yelled, a yellow cloud came and picked up his family, they left for home.

*Goku's house*

"Ready to Train guys?" Gohan asked as soon as they landed.

"Let's go Gohan, I'll go easy on you." Zanto said.

"Don't even think about it." Gohan said, the two went to the clearing near their house.

"Those two are just like you Goku." Chi-chi said.

"Are they, I haven't noticed." Goku said, giving a grin and scratching the back of his head.

*One month later*

"Bye guys, tell Grandpa I say hi!" Gohan said as he and Goku flew off.

Goku and Gohan landed at master Roshi's house a half hour later, everyone else was already there.

"Hey Goku, you actually made it." Roshi said walking up to his old student, Roshi was an old man of average height with an orange shirt and blue training pants.

The rest of his friends greeted him and Gohan when they felt a strong power approaching.

"Kakarot, let's go." a harsh voice said, it was the source of the power, a man with a rough face and waist long hair was standing on Roshi's island, he looked at Goku and then looking at Gohan, "A half breed, what a waste. Dispose of it." The man said.

"Daddy, who's this?" Gohan said.

"I have no idea son." Goku answered. "But stay behind me." Gohan obeyed and stood behind his father.

"Really Kakarot, you don't know your own brother?" The stranger asked. "Did you hit your head as a child? Why are these weaklings still alive?"

"I'm Goku. Not Kakarot and my friends are not weak, we humans are a strong species!" Goku yelled, the man laughed.

"Really Kakarot, you did hit your head, we're Saiyan's you know. You were sent here to destroy them." The man laughed again.

Goku was left speechless.

"Don't talk to Goku like that, he is the Earth's strongest warrior, you'd better leave now!" Roshi said, "He could easily beat you."

"Really old man? I just scanned him, he is weaker than you." Goku's brother replied.

"What's your name?" Gohan asked, coming out of hiding.

"Raditz, a Saiyan elite warrior." Raditz answered, "And you, are dead meat." he pointed at Gohan and a beam came from his finger, flying at Gohan, who moved his head behind Goku's leg just before he would have been killed.

"Try attacking my son again Raditz, and I'll have to hurt you." Goku said, an aura of seriousness washing over him.

"Try it, brother." Raditz taunted, and Goku disappeared, appearing in front of Raditz and delivering a strong punch to his armor covered abdomen, shattering the armor in that spot.

"Don't. Touch. My. Son." Goku breathed into his brother's ear, pulling his fist from the long haired saiyan's gut. Raditz wasn't injured though, and moved quickly to Gohan, grabbing him and jumping into the air.

"Kakarot, if you want your son back, then I will give you a price, one hundred dead human bodies at my location by tomorrow morning." Raditz smirked and flew off.

"Gohan!" Goku screamed, "If Piccolo were here then him and I could team up." Goku said, and Yamcha gasped.

"Goku, Piccolo, team up with Piccolo?" The former bandit asked, knowing his friend was a little dense, but not thinking he was outright stupid.

"Yes, what's wrong with me?" A gruff voice answered and Yamcha unconsciously slid into his fighting stance and looked behind him, seeing Piccolo standing in the shade beside the house. "Goku, let's get Gohan back, however strong that kid is he's no match for your brother."

"Yea, anyone else coming?" Goku asked, about to take off.

"We'd only get in the way, no matter how much I hate to admit it we're no match for you currently, but I'll be able to beat you soon Goku." Krillin smirked, "Now go get Gohan back, I hate being the shortest!" Krillin said.

"Thanks Krillin." Goku flew off, Piccolo right beside him, "I'll be back soon, start dinner!" Goku yelled. Everyone waved back.

"Do we have a chance Piccolo?" Goku asked, knowing that the man had a better sense of power than he did.

"Honestly, I'm not sure. From what I've seen you and Gohan could take him, but I bet he's hiding a lot of power, maybe more than you and I together can put out."

"At least we've got your secret technique." Goku laughed.

"That would kill you too."

"I know, but Gohan's life is higher priority than mine." Goku said, seriousness written all over his face. "Besides, if Gohan were to get hurt Chichi would kill me anyways." Goku was laughing again and Piccolo couldn't help but to grin.

"Let's hope neither of you have to die. I wanna kill you with my own power, not because you have to die."
