The first round of the World Martial Arts Tournament was over and the group went to have dinner. Everyone enjoyed their meals, especially the two Saiyans who eat a large amount of food, making Roshi sweat in fear for the bill. After the group ate and were full they left the restaurant and went to their hotel. Bulma and Launch were in their own rooms while Roshi,Krillin,Goku,Bardock and Oolong were in their room. While Krillin,Roshi and Goku slept in their own beds, Oolong was on the couch and Bardock was sleeping on the sofa. But little did they know that tonight they would be attacked by someone who was eager to kill Goku
Meanwhile in the hotel not too far from where Goku and his friends were, a man with long mustaches, with glasses on his face and with a crane hat on his head was putting on dark black clothes. While he was putting on his new clothes on his mind was only revenge, he was sure to kill the man who killed his younger brother. He was finished with changing when he heard that someone was coming close to his room. He put a mask on his face and jumped through the window just when the door opened. The person who entered noticed that his master was seconds ago in the room and he knew where he went, so he quickly followed his master to stop him
While the mysterious man was on his way, Bardock was having a nightmare. He was turning around in the sofa and sweated when he suddenly woke up. He put his hands on his head and slowly stood up and went to the bathroom to wash his face. While he was in the bathroom he didn't sense that somebody was already in his room. Distracted by his nightmare he didn't even sense that a person was in his room, ready to kill his son. The person was just beside Goku's bed and ready to kill the young Saiyan. The man put his left hand above his own head and was ready to strike Goku
"It's hard for me to believe that you killed Tao, but you will pay!"Yelled the man and launched his attack towards Goku, but luckily Goku just in time moved on the other side while he was still asleep. The noise that Tao made was heard by Bardock and the Saiyan quickly walked out of the bathroom
"Hey who are you!?"Yelled Bardock loud enough to wake up Goku,Roshi and Krillin
"Huh, what's going on?"Asked Goku as he rubbed his eyes, but he quickly noticed a man in black near him
"What's up with all this yelling?"Asked Krillin who was barely awake
"Huh it's Sh.." Roshi couldn't even finish his sentence when the man in black jumped through the window breaking it
"Hey wait you!"Yelled Goku and followed the man who tried to kill him
"Goku wait for me!" Said Krillin who was just behind his best friend
"No, wait you two!You can't fight him!"Yelled Roshi but it was already too late, Bardock just looked at the old man wondering what was this all about
"You know this guy, old man" Asked Bardock as he walked near the broken window
"Yes, his name is Shen and he was the brother of Tao" Said Roshi as he stood up from his bed
"And who is this Tao?Why would he attack Kakarot?"Asked Bardock as he approached the window
"Because Goku killed Tao and Tao was also Tien's master. So I'm sure that Tien told Shen who killed his brother and now he wants revenge"Explained the old master as he was getting ready to go and help Goku and Krillin. Bardock noticed that and unlike the old man wasn't worried about his son
"If you think off going there and help Kakarot there is no need for that"Said Bardock as he was looking out
"But I must, that's Shen!He is strong and he could kill Goku!"Yelled Roshi who was worried about Goku
"I said there is no need for that. Kakarot is stronger than that old man,besides he was training with me and he learned a lot in this past three years"Explained Bardock as he turned around with a smirk on his face, leaving Roshi to wonder how strong Goku really is now and what kind of training did he went through
In the same moment, Goku caught up with the man in black and he attacked him from behind. The man didn't saw the attack and was hit in the back, he almost fell on the ground, but he managed to gain control. He turned around and saw Goku who was ready to fight him
"Hey, who are you?It wasn't nice of you to attack me while I was sleeping!"Yelled Goku when he noticed that Krillin just arrived
"Goku why are you after this guy are you crazy!?"Yelled Krillin at his best friend who only kept staring at the man in front
"You little.. I will do anything to revenge the death of my brother!"Yelled the man and attacked Goku and Krillin. Both of the boys managed to evade the kicks and jumped away from the man. Without any second to spare Goku attacked the man, who barely managed to block Goku's strong punches, when suddenly one punch went in and hit the man in the face which caused his mask to fall down on the ground. The man quickly got up and with anger once again attacked the young Saiyan. Goku saw that and went on the attack, the two were about to collide when suddenly out of nowhere a man appeared between the two, blocking their punches
"Tien!What are you doing here!?"Yelled the man at his pupil as he stepped away
"Huh?Tien?"Asked Goku quietly while Krillin wondered why would Tien be here
"Master Shen I beg you to stop fighting him"Asked Tien which surprised his master
"What?Explain yourself Tien!"Asked the martial arts master who was curious in Tien's explanation
"I know that what he did to master Tao in unforgiving and I ask you to let me kill him in the tournament. I will first humiliate him and then I will kill him in front his master and friends" Explained Tien as he looked straight at Goku who just remained silent as he clenched his fist
"I see, very good Tien. Let's have it your way. You have one more day to live the pupil of Roshi haha"Laughed Shen as he and Tien walked away leaving Goku and Krillin alone on the street
"Goku don't listen to him, there is no way that he can beat you" Said Krillin who wanted to make Goku feel better after what the old man said
"I know that, but we have our match first so let's have fun"Said Goku as he turned to his friend with a smile on his face
"Yea you are right. Let's go back to the hotel, I bet that the others are worried about us""Exclaimed Krillin on which Goku nodded and with his friend went back to the hotel
The night passed quickly and today was the day of the second round. The day was nice and warm and a lot of people was gathered in the World Martial Arts area. Everybody were anxious to see today's fights, the first fight was between Tien and the previous winner of the tournament Jackie Chun. Quickly the area around the main stage was full of people, but luckily for Bardock's group they easily passed through and ended in front. While Bulma and the others talked about who could pass to the finals, Bardock wondered how will the old man fight against Tien. He had a conversation last night with the old man about Tien and his life. From what he figured the old man wanted for the young martial artist to leave the killing ambition and join him. The kid did have the potential but was he willing to leave his ambition and join the old man?Bardock doubted that the old man could do that, the old master was too good, he said that there was a doubt in Tien's mind and that he will make Tien realize that. Bardock sighed and looked at the ring where the announcer was talking something through his mic
Meanwhile Goku and Krillin were together with Chun and talked with the man about today's fights. The old man just smiled at the two boys when he noticed that Tien was coming in his way. He saw a smirk on Tien's face, but he kept staring at the young man
"Old man I hope you are ready because this will finish bad for you if you aren't"Chuckled Tien, but Chun just ignored what Tien said
"You can dream all you want Tien,but mister Chun will beat you!"Yelled Krillin at Tien who only laughed at small Krillin
"Haha yea right, it's obvious that the old man had luck last time since I wasn't in the tournament. But now he or any of you don't stand a chance against me"Laughed Tien as he walked away only to anger Krillin more while Goku and Chun remained calm
"Don't let him get to you Kirllin"Said Goku as he watched Tien go
"He is right boy, concentrate on your fight"Exclaimed Chun on which Krillin could only nod when they heard something
"Oh, I guess it's time for me to go. See you later boys" Said Chun with a smile as he walked away, towards the ring
"Good luck mister Chun"Said Goku as he waved with his hand
"Yea, beat that bully"Yelled Krillin as he and Goku jumped on the fence so that they could be able to watch the fight
"Ladies and gentlemen here are our competitors. Tien and Jackie Chun!Fighters ready?Begin!"Yelled the announcer as he jumped off the ring, leaving the fighters alone so they could have their fight
"So old man are you ready?Attack me if you are"Said Tien as he taunted Chun to attack him, on which Chun gladly accepted
"Fine, here I come!"Yelled Chun and attacked Tien who for the first time in the tournament took his defensive pose. He didn't have to wait when Chan was already in front of him. Chun delivered few punches and kicks which made Tien make an effort to block them. Chan was still on the attack which made Tien fall back every time Chun released another punch. Tien was getting tired of that and he surprised Chan when he caught both of his punches
"Is this all you got old man!"Yelled Tien as he squeezed Chun's hands
"N-Not at all young man"Said Chun back with a little pain in his voice when he surprised Tien with a low kick, which made Tien jump back and release the old man's hands. While the both of them were on their sides the crowd was getting excited. Everybody were cheering for their own favorite and couldn't wait for another clash
"Heh looks like the crowd likes this"Said Chun with a little smile on his face
"I suppose, but let me show them more"Said Tien with a chuckle and this time he attacked the old man. Chun was doing very good by dodging and blocking, but as the time passed the old man was getting tired. Slowly few of Tien punches passed through and hit the old man right in the face. Tien could see that and only smirked as he speed up a little. Chan was getting pushed back and it was really close to the end of the ring. The two boys who were watching the fight could see that and warned their old friend
"Mister Chun!The edge of the ring!"Shouted Krillin who hoped that the old man heard him. Chun didn't need Krillin to tell him that because he already knew that he was few steps from the end of the ring. So the old man come with an idea. He surprised Tien when he caught his hands. Tien quickly snapped from that and just kept pushing the old man towards the end. He smirked when he saw that only one more push was all that he needed, but then once again he was surprised by Chan. Chan with all his might raised Tien above himself, which surprised everyone. Tien was struggling in Chan's hold, but he couldn't get free. Chun only smiled at Tien who he was holding
"Hehe can't get free now, right?Let's see if you can fly"Exclaimed Roshi who was ready to toss Tien in the air,but his idea failed when Tien in the last moment hit Chun in the head with his own head which made the old man release Tien who immediately jumped away. The old man was on his one knee while he was holding his nose which started to bleed while Tien only smirked and laughed at Chun
"Haha you see old man, you are nothing!I'm better than you and all others and I will avenge my master"Laughed Tien as Chun slowly get up and cleaned his bleeding nose with a hand
"Tien, you don't need to be like him. You have much more talent than that"Exclaimed Chun as he looked at Tien who stopped laughing and made a serious face
"What do you know old man!My goal is to be like him, a killer!The best there is"Said Tien while Chun just turned away from him
"Yes, mercenery Tao. Some say he was born with the talent to kill, but Tien you are not like him and you will never be"Exclaimed Chan who made Tien shocked and confused at the same time
"W-What to you mean by that!?Say it now!"Yelled Tien as he clenched his fist while Chan turned his head just a little to see Tien
"You will need to figure that on your own and I hope you will choose the right way which could make you a fighter you wanted to be and not a killer"Explained Chun as he walked near his coat that he throw before the fight
"Y-You are talking nonsense old man!I-I will be a killer"Said Tien who even tho he said that wasn't too assuring
"Like I said it's your decision to make, now I think we are over"Exclaimed Chun who surprised everyone by his action. He jumped off from the ring and shocked everyone in the crowd, even Bardock who didn't expect this. Tien remained in the ring confused by all this when his thoughts were cut by the announcer
"W-Well everyone it seems that the champion Chun just forfeited the match. Which means that Tien is the first finalist of this year's tournament"Yelled the announcer through his mic when the crowd started to cheer for Tien. While everyone cheered, Goku and Krillin were surprised by this so they didn't hear their names
"Hmm I ask for the next two competitors to enter the ring. Goku and Krillin!"Yelled the announcer who was this time heard by Goku and Krillin. They jumped from the fence and before they entered the ring they crossed their arms and entered the ring while both of them smiled
