A/N: First of all, I haven't written in a couple days. But I just thought of an awesome thing, so Ignore what I said earlier about not having Tarble. Tarble will come in a lot later in the story. Sorry for the confusion.
I know Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu will come in this chapter, but reactions will be slightly different, Goku is slightly tougher because he trained a LITTLE already with Vegeta on the Gravity Pad. This chapter will take place about a year before the next Tournament, so Tien will train hard in preparation. Tournament will be the same as in the anime, Goku will lose, but just barely and Tien and Chiaotzu will join Goku's group of friends to fight against KING Piccolo.
Enjoy, Read and Review.
Chapter 5: Tien Shinhan and Crane School
Goku was running as fast as he could, jumping tree to tree through a forest. '1 more year, 1 more year untill the Next Tournament. It's gonna be a good one!' Goku said as he jumped a bit too far and missed a branch, only to grab it with his tail. He laughed as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Guess I should be paying more attention to where I'm going." he laughed as he dropped down and landed on his feet. "Where the heck am I? Running around aimlessly is fun and all, but I should probably know how to get to Papaya Island." Goku said to himself as he came across a village with a crowd of people in one area.
Goku walked up and saw this giant purple pig-like creature tied up and hanging from a tree. "What's going on?" Goku asked as a random person turned around and looked at the boy with a smile. "These two wonderful Martial Artists just saved us from that monster InoShikaCho!" The man declared as he pointed at the two Martial Artists. The tall one had three eyes and wore a green Han-style robe and an overconfident smirk. The other one was short, had white skin and red cheeks and wore a poofball hat and no expression on his face.
'Martial Artists huh?' Goku thought as the village chief handed the two Martial Artists a bag of money and then sent them on their way with InoShikaCho being dragged behind them. "WAIT UP!" Goku yelled after them, they stopped and turned around and saw the little boy. "What is it kid?" The tall one asked annoyed by the child. "You guys are Martial Artists, right? well I'm training for the World Martial Arts Tournament and I was wondering if you'd like to spar." Goku stated bluntly as he put an innocent smile on his face.
"Sorry kid, we don't fight amateurs." the tall one said, attacking Goku's Saiyan Pride. Goku was irritated, "I AM NOT AN AMATEUR! I was the runner up in the last Tournament!" Goku said proudly. "So basically you lost? Besides the winner was a hack, he couldn't possibly have won if I was in the Tournament." the tall man said with a bored expression.
As they walked off into the distance, Goku's saiyan pride was damaged, so he followed from afar. After the group of 3 got far away the short one pointed his finger and the ropes around InoShikaCho's legs untied by themselves. 'What? why are they untying a monster?' Goku thought from the branch he sat. "Good job again 'ShikaCho" the small one said with still no emotion. The monster just snorted. "Chiaotzu, which way is the closest village?" the tall man asked as he started a fire. "About a 2 hour walk from here. 1 if we run Tien." the short one reponded. 'Tien and Chiaotzu huh?' Goku thought.
Tien stood up and walked over to the purple monster. "InoShikaCho, You'll go in after we eat and then start terrorizing, we'll set up camp outside the village, you'll return there and we'll eat, you'll go in for a couple days and then we'll come in, yadda yadda you know the plan." Tien said as he watched Chiaotzu cook dinner.
"Doesn't sound like a plan, sounds like a scam to me!" Goku exclaimed, as he walked up to them with a determined look on his face. "It's the amateur." Tien said as he got up. "For the last time, I'm NOT an amateur, I'm a Saiyan Warrior, to us Humans are the amateurs. Secondly, I know your secret now! So what's to stop me from telling everyone?" Goku asked, but only received a small chuckle, "First off, If the Saiyans aren't amateurs, then how come they've never been heard of before? Secondly, Nothing is stopping you from telling people, but who would believe you? We're the guys who always stop him from wrecking everything, you're just one kid." Tien said crossing his arms and smirking confidently. "Who'd believe you?" Tien asked.
Goku smirked, "The next village will believe me before InoShikaCho even arrives to their village." He said just keeping eye contact, reading Tien's body language. Tien glared, "You have a point there. But who says you'll make it to the next village." Tien asked as he dropped into the Crane school stance. "As one of the last Saiyans alive, I'm pretty sure I will." Goku smirked as he dropped into the Turtle school stance that Roshi taught him.
Tien then flew at him at top speed throwing several punches, only for Goku to dodge each and every one. 'That gravity pad that Vegeta and I were using really helped.' Goku thought as he watched each punch come at him somewhat slowly. As Tien threw another punched Goku grabbed his fist and threw him into the closest tree to them. "Gee, if I knew you were a weakling I wouldn't have taunted you." Goku said as he crossed his arms and smirked. Tien stood up and grabbed his shirt and tore it off.
"Looks like I'll have to get more serious. I underestimated you, but now I understand that you're not a normal kid." Tien said as he flew towards Goku again, this time just as he went to throw another punch, he fazed out of view and slammed the side of his fists into the back of Goku's neck. Driving Goku through several trees, knocking them down as his head made contact with each tree. just as he was headed for a final tree he turned around and used the tree to jump back and landed several punches on Tien's chest.
When he stopped he jumped back and dropped back into his stance. "I told you, I'm a Saiyan, of course I'm not normal." Goku said as he pullled his hands back in preparation of his next attack. "And I told you, I don't know or care what a saiyan is, and I certainly dont think that makes you special kid. Just another Victim! DO-DON RAY-!" Tien said as he pointed a finger to the air as it glowed bright golden. "I'm definitely not a victim. KAAAAMEEEEHAAAAMEEEE-" Goku said as his hands began glowing bright blue.
'Damn that attack is strong.' Tien thought as he pointed forward violently and yelled "-FIRE!" just as Goku sent his hands forward just as violently, "HAAAA!" Goku screamed as he fired it forward and the two beams of violent energy clashed in the middle, with Tien's quickly being overpowered by Goku's Kamehameha. It sent Tien and friends through the air and into the night sky.
When the group of three landed a couple miles away. "What the hell is he!?" Chiaotzu asked incredulously. Tien got onto his hands and knees in frustration and slammed his fist into the ground. "I don't know, but I have a new mission. Forget this stupid fucking scam! Time for some heavy training!" Tien said standing on his feet and walking away without looking at the rest of his group. "For what Tien?" Chiaotzu asked catching up to Tien. "We're going to that tournament, and I'm going to win against that CHILD!" Tien stated angrily.
Chiaotzu looked on in surprise, "But you always said that tournaments are for weak people pretending they're stronger than other weaklings." Chiaotzu stated matter-of-factly, "They are normally, but for once there will actually be a challenge there. We're going to start training, and it's going to be the most intense training we've ever done so that kid will meet his match!" Tien said as he continued walking.
Out of the bushes a rustling came and out came a man with spiky hair. "What was the kid's name?" the man asked with an evil smirk. "I don't know, I don't care and all I remember is him saying he was a Saiyan. Whatever the hell that is, crazy kid." Tien said as he dropped into a stance thinking this guy was going to challenge him. "Calm down kid, I'm not going to challenge you. That kid is under my care, his name is Kakarot, and he is a Saiyan child. Unfortunately he isn't worthy of saiyan blood at his current power, which is why I need you." The spiky haired man said with the same smirk.
Tien relaxed, and looked at the guy curiously. "What do you need ME for? I just want revenge on that kid for treating me like an amateur." Tien said crossing his arms and glaring at the spiky haired man. "My name is Vegeta, normally I wouldn't ask a weakling such as yourself for help, but Kakarot is a weakling himself. I need you to beat him, to keep his motivation to become strong and worthy Saiyan warrior. Same reason that fool Roshi dressed up like whats-his-face at the last tournament. But if you're going to beat him, you're going to need intense training, that's where I come in, I'm going to train you for the next year until the tournament, just as Goku will continue to do. When you two meet next, you will win, no matter what. But do not kill him." Vegeta explained ending on a very serious note.
Tien was taken aback by that last statement, "Why shouldn't I kill him!? He embarassed me!" Tien asked angrily. A serious look came across Vegeta and he grabbed Tien by the neck and picked him up with ease. "He is the only other Saiyan in the universe. You kill him, you deal with me, and I'm not using any of my own strength to hold you as tight as it feels." Vegeta said quickly before letting him go.
Tien gasped for breath as he landed hard on the ground. "Fine, no killing, but beating him within an inch of his life will be fine, right?" Tien asked hoping he wouldn't get the same treatment. Vegeta smirked, "That is more than alright, in fact, I hope for it." Vegeta smiled gladly to have a deal on his hands. Tien stood up and shook Vegeta's hand. When Tien tried to let go Vegeta smirked, "Lesson one, never let your guard down!" Vegeta said as he threw the three eyed man into the trees and sent a very weak ki blast into his back.
After 3 months of relentless training with the ruthless Saiyan, Tien felt as if Vegeta was trying to kill him. Vegeta had put him under two times Earth's gravity. He didn't even know that was possible, and he figured he already died and was in hell for this torture he was undergoing. Just as he was about to pass out Vegeta picked him up by the back of his neck. "Don't you dare cry!" Vegeta said as he picked him up higher. "I am Tien Shinhan, I do not cry!" Tien exclaimed as attempted to break Vegeta's grip but failed terribly.
"You call THAT pathetic attempt of movements an escape? I should kill you and end your suffering if that's the best you got triclops!" Vegeta exclaimed with an evil laugh. "You call this training!? It's torture!" Tien exclaimed as he coughed up blood and passed out. "That's what you think. But you're Goku's equal right now." Vegeta smirked as Tien passed out.
Back in the Jungles of the World, a young teen was running and jumping through the trees. "I havent heard from Vegeta in months, his loss." Goku smiled as he reached the edge of a city on the ocean. 'I've been running around the woods for almost 2 and a half years, rarely any interaction with humans...' Goku thought to himself, "Might as well get to know some people. Tired of running around for awhile anyway." Goku said as he ran down and the hill he was standing on.
Goku walked through the city for a couple minutes, 'This place is awful! it smells badly, it's crowded, and it's hard to even tell where I am.' Goku thought with disgust as a door to a bakery opened up and he smelled food. "THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!" he shouted as he walked in only to be kicked out 5 minutes later for not having any money. 'Well should continue training anyway.' He decided as he walked towards the edge of the city only to run into a group of thugs surrounding a kid about Goku's age.
"C'mon kid, give us your money!" one thug said, "I dont have anything! Just leave me alone!" the kid said only to receive a punch to his gut, "We just saw you come out of that shop with a capsule case, any kid that can buy that has quite a bit of money." another thug said. "I saved up for months to get this, I worked harder than I have in my entire life so far." the kid said.
The first thug laughed, "Well kid here's a lesson, the easy way is the best way!" the thug said as he punched him square in the gut. "If you think that, then you should have no problem beating me, right?" Goku said walking up to the small group. "Kid, Run! get some help!" the other kid yelled as the thugs let go of him and walked over to Goku. "I am the help!" Goku said as he watched the thugs surround him. "You? there are three of us and one of you! and you're surrounded! This must be a joke!" the thug holding the kid said as he punched his palm.
"Go ahead and surround me if that makes you feel more comfortable." Goku said with a confident smirk. Just as they attempted to attack him all at the same time, he took out the first two guys with ease. "Have fun with that strategy? Because I don't think it worked out." Goku said as he held the last guy buy the scuff of his shirt. "I took the hard way, and you took the easy way. Guess what, I won!" Goku smirked as he headbutted the final thug before walking over to the other kid.
He helped up the other kid and smiled. "Sorry about those guys, and don't listen to them, hard work pays off. My name is Goku, what's yours?" Goku greeted with the trademarked Son grin. The other kid couldn't help but smile himself, "Mark, Mark Deville. That was the most amazing display of skill that I've ever seen or ever will see." Mark laughed out loudly. "Thanks Mark, you do any martial arts?" Goku asked curiously hoping for a spar.
Mark looked down in shame, "I do, to be honest, I should've been able to take those guys, but I got scared!" He said as he began to cry, but Goku just put a hand on his shoulder. "It's okay, you don't have to be ashamed of being scared. It's natural to be scared, the key is to not let that fear paralyze you." Goku said with an honest smile. Mark just smiled back, "I have to get going, I have to continue training for the tournament." Goku said as he took off quickly.
"So basically confidence is key and I should make people intimidated by me, right?" Mark said with a smile, "Hercule sounds more intimidating. What's more intimidating than a super strong demigod? Answer: Satan. From now on I will enter the tournaments as well as Hercule Satan!" Mark laughed as he ran home.
9 months later, it was the day of the tournament and Tien was much stronger than he was when he faced Goku. "This time, he's going down hard." Tien said as he registered at the front desk. He, his master and Chiaotzu walked inside only for Goku to meet up with his friends and his other master, only to remember Vegeta's words from a couple of months ago.
"Remember no killing Goku, beat him into the ground, break his bones, crack his skull, just don't kill him!" Vegeta said as Tien completed his training. "One more thing, Nobody knows, and nobody will ever learn that I trained you! Understood!?" Vegeta said as he knocked Tien out and dropped him outside his little white pokemon friend outside their shack in the woods.
Tien nodded slightly towards Vegeta who ignored him and walked right past him. 'Really sticking to that isn't he, whatever, it works.' Tien thought as his eyes met Goku's. "So you're actually here weakling?" Goku asked in a cocky tone. "Trust me, I'm not as weak as I was last time kid." Tien said calmly surprising Goku. Tien noticed this and smirked confidently, "The reason I'm not as aggressive as last time is because I know I'll win this time, go ahead and talk shit, only weaklings talk shit." Tien smirked and walked away.
'He'll take Goku, but just barely because his damn arrogance. I guess the bright side is they'll be allies when this is all over.' Vegeta thought as he watched the interaction when he felt a sudden energy that was more powerful than everyone on Earth besides himself. "I've felt this power before, but it was pure good last time!" Vegeta thought aloud.
"What is that Vegeta?" Bulma asked hearing every word, Vegeta quickly explained quietly, "I sense a new power on the Earth. One I've felt before, but it was pure, innocent, no malice in it at all last time. It was above Korin's Tower, I don't know who it was, but it was the most powerful being on Earth, besides me of course. But this time, it seems evil, I don't understand at all, but it should be fine, it's nowhere near here." He whispered as Bulma listened intently. "But you'd be able to take care of it if it is a threat, right?" Bulma asked worriedly only for Vegeta to scoff.
"Why would I wanna take care of it when Kakarot could use it as training?" He laughed as he lowered his head and closed his eyes to think carefully. 'This new threat would require him to see Korin for the Ultra Divine Water. But he can do it, I know he can.' Vegeta thought as he heard a voice in his head.
"Very observant Prince of Saiyans, but you'd think that way regardless because you actually have faith in someone other than yourself" the voice said tauntingly and snorted like a pig. 'Yes I would, and since I thought that, you can hear my thoughts, now who are you?' Vegeta thought to voice. "I am King Kai, guardian of the North Galaxy, I've been watching you and Goku for some time now. You will both become great warriors. Also to make fun of you a little because you actually care about little Kakarot."King kai said as he cut off the connection. "That joke was horrible Northy." West kai said to him as he sighed and shook his head.
I guess that's chapter 5, sorry for the wait, but I couldn't focus on it for the life of me. Writer's block I guess, in the end I'm happy with the result. Next Chapter will be just after the Tournament, Goku will have lost to Tien, but just barely, just as he did in the original series. So the next chapter will be the King Piccolo saga, as best as I can. I'll get it out as quick as I can, but it'll be hard, because I have to focus on Tien and Roshi interactions, along with friendly interactions between Goku and Tien, and of course, Goku going into the darkness to get the ultra divine water, which was hard enough for me the first time.
I had to put a prequel to Mr. Satan in there, Mark Deville(OC last name, i think Satan is his Legitimate last name, but I kept it purely a stage name.) he will be in the next tournament, but he'll lose in the prelims to someone who won't be at the Cell Games, so he wont recognize ANYONE at the Cell games, but he'll think SSJ Goku looks familiar but shakes it off. Videl will be at the Cell games, but she will not sneak in, her father will be overconfident. Just a bit of Trivia, Hercule Satan was born in Age 736 while Son Goku was Born in Age 737.
Unlike the original series, Hercule will recognize the name of the champion of the 23rd WMAT and he will not call them tricksters, he has respect for Goku for what he did, on the other hand, he doesn't know the Z-Fighters at the Cell Games, and will mistakenly call Goku a trickster.
