[3 in a half years have passed since the events of Majin Buu]

(Goku is working his job as a farmer like usual. After he's done, he returns home. After greeting Chichi and Goten, he enters Gohan's room)

Goku: Gohan! Hey son! How are you doing?

Gohan: Oh hey dad. I'm doing well. I got a perfect score on all my tests. Here take a look.

(Gohan hands Goku some test papers)

Goku:...Gee, I dont really understand any of this stuff, Gohan. But I can tell how happy this and becoming a scholar makes you. And if its something that makes you happy, then thats great! Great job! I'm so proud of you, son. I hope you achieve your dreams and live your life the way you see fit.

Gohan: Thanks dad. It feels great when you actually hear those words come out of someone's mouth once in a while.

Goku: So Gohan. Tell me, have you been slacking off on your training again?

Gohan: I...well uh...you see...

Goku:...

Gohan:...I trained with Trunks and Goten last week. But I was really busy with my exams!

Goku: Well okay, I guess thats alright. Just make sure you dont slack off too much. That power the Elder Kai gave you is a blessing. You shouldnt let it go to waste. Vegeta and I would kill to get power like that. Well not actually kill, but you get what I mean, haha.

Gohan: I know dad, you're right.

Goku: Say, Gohan. I was thinking we could have a tournament of our own with Piccolo, Krillin and the others.

Gohan: What do you mean?

Goku: Remember how the 25th Budokai tournament was interrupted with all the shenanigans between Shin and Majin Buu? I was thinking we could have a tournament, but just between our friend circle.

Gohan: Actually, yeah! That's a pretty good idea. Who are we gonna call?

Goku: We could bring Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Piccolo, Vegeta, 18, Buu and even the kids. I'll go and ask them tomorrow then. I'm kinda excited to see how much stronger everyone else has become.

(During the evening, Chichi is serving everyone dinner as Goku talks about the tournament between his friends)

Goten: I wanna fight too dad. Can Trunks and I join you?

Goku: Of course, Goten. All of you can. What do you think Chichi?

Chichi: Well I don't exactly want my precious Goten fighting beings who can bench press planets with their fingers. And Goten does have to study.

Goten: But moooooom. I wanna be in the tournament with dad, big bro and Trunks!

Chichi: Okay okay, fine. You can go only because Gohan's going with you.

(The next day Goku teleports to Krillin's place and talks with him)

Krillin: Are you nuts? There's no way in hell I could compete with people like you, Gohan or Vegeta! I'm gonna get creamed.

Goku: Thats okay, Krillin. You may be weaker than most of us, but your technique is what keeps you going. It always did.

Krillin: Goku, sometimes technique just isnt enough to the likes of you Saiyans. The gap in power is just way too big. If you want me to take part in this game of ours, then I'll join in under two conditions.

Goku: Okay then, Krillin, go on.

Krillin: You, Vegeta and the boys will not use any transformations. Thats the only way to make this fair and balanced. And another way to make it fair is to make this fight in the air and not the ground.

Goku: Well that does make it fair so I dont see any reason against it. Okay then, you've got yourself a deal!

Krillin: Great! Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go fill up- I mean spend time with 18

(Krillin shuts the door)

Goku: "Fill up"? Is he filling up a glass of water for 18? Man, he's such a loving husband. 18's a lucky woman

(Goku teleports to where Vegeta is. Currently in the gravity room training)

Goku: Hey Vegeta!

Vegeta: Kakarot? I'm a little busy right now so if you dont mind, see your self out

Goku: Oh dont worry, this will only take a moment. We're planning a friendly tournament between everyone else. Hopefully this time, we wont get interrupted like when Buu came to be.

Vegeta: A tournament? What's the point? We all know that either you or Gohan would win easily.

Goku: Krillin wanted two rules added in the matches. No transformations and no contact with the ground. That oughta make things even somewhat.

Vegeta: Well that certainly does make things interesting. Okay Kakarot, you've got yourself a deal. I'll be sure to bring Trunks along and your kids better not be hiding inside their books or behind their mothers backs.

Goku: Dont worry, Gohan and Goten will be there. Just try not to cry when you and or Trunks lose. Maybe I'll bring you a napkin just in case.

Vegeta: Oh, shut up and get the hell out you smart mouthed bastard!

(Goku leaves after this playful banter to the lookout to speak to Piccolo)

Piccolo: And why exactly are we having this whole tournament?

Goku: Would you believe me if I said I missed you guys?

Piccolo: How sweet, but I can just read your mind and I'm obviously not an imbecile.

Goku: True. I thought this could be a good way to spend more time together and reunite as well get stronger together.

Piccolo: Well I'll have you know that I've been training really hard. If we fight, I won't just give up, I'm going all out, even if you go Super Saiyan 3.

Goku: Glad to hear it! You're a real Piccobro, Piccolo!

Piccolo: Call me that one more time and I'm not coming.

Goku: Okay, sorry...geez, what a buzzkill

(Goku whispers)

Piccolo: Us Namekians have super hearing in case you didn't know.

Goku: Eek! Well, I'll see you later, Piccolo!

(Goku flies away from the lookout. The next day everyone arrives at an empty plain. Gohan and Piccolo are chatting together as are Yamcha, Tien, the boys and etc. Goku asks Buu to create the same numbered ball machine used during the actual tournaments as well as a tournament bracket. The fight goes as follows)

1. Goku VS Krillin

2. Tien VS Vegeta

3. Yamcha VS Gohan

4. Chiaotzu VS Piccolo

5. Android 18 VS Trunks

6. Goten VS Majin Buu

Goku: Well, I guess we're up, old friend.

(Goku and Krillin ascend into the air)

Krillin: I'll be honest with you bro. I'm a little scared of getting my butt kicked by you. But knowing that its you, I cant help but feel excited somewhat.

Goku: Hehe. Me too. I love fighting in general, but its even more fun when its with an old friend. You ready?

Krillin: Always.

(Goku rushes Krillin. Krillin evades as the go back and forth blocking and trying to expose any openings. Krillin's small size makes it easier to try and expose Goku, but Goku's speed and power is a perfect counter. Goku attempts a roundhouse, but Krillin backflips away)

Goku: I gotta say, you're good. Better than I remember actually. You must have started training again haven't you?

Krillin: Actually, I had Dende send me, Yamcha, Chiaotzu and Tien to King Kai's planet for some extra training. We felt kinda left out because of how outclassed we were by you saiyans. It kinda motivated us to get stronger for ourselves.

(A red aura surrounds Krillin)

Krillin: And I reckon you get the hint. KAIOKEN!

(The Kaioken aura surrounds Krillin as his power multiplies)

Goku: WHOA. Krillin! Damnnn. Kaioken seems to have done wonders for your power now huh? You're even stronger than me in base

(Krillin rushes Goku and fights him again, gaining an upper hand quickly)

Goku: Argh, Kaioken!

(Now they're both using Kaioken)

Goku: I hope you didnt forget that I was King Kai's first ever student to learn this technique. Exactly what multiplier can you use Kaioken up to?

Krillin: About x20. Thats the same multiplier you've got, right?

Goku: Yeah, but I only need x10 to beat you. Let's do this Krillin!

Goku: KAIOKEN X10!

Krillin: X20!

(They rush at each other and begin to clash. Krillin is relying on his techniques, even using a move called Solar Disc: A non lethal Kienzan that acts like a Solar Flare. Goku is blinded and narrowly evades a Kaioken x20 Kamehameha from Krillin. Krillin uses a Scatter Kamehameha, sending them at everyone of Goku's directions)

Goku: Power Pole!

(Goku creates an red power pole staff made of ki and uses it to deflect the Scatter blasts. He begins using an afterimage as well as Instant Transmissioning around Krillin and throws the staff at him. Krillin manages to evade as Goku teleports above him and sledgehammers him to the ground, winning. Goku lands on the ground beside Krillin)

Goku: That was a really good fight, Krillin. You really had me on my toes there.

Krillin: Thanks Goku, but I know you're just trying to please my ego.

Goku: Oh no, I'm serious. You actually would have beaten me if I didnt take things seriously. I still would have won if I used Super Saiyan, but still. Great job buddy!

Krillin: Whatever you say, Goku. So who's up next?

(Gohan speaks up below)

Gohan: I think its Mr. Tien and Vegeta.

(Tien and Vegeta ascend into the air and get ready for their match)

Chiaotzu: Get him, Tien!

Trunks: Kick his butt, Dad!

(Vegeta begins talking)

Vegeta: Tienshinhan was it? I'll have you know that you'll need more than just training to compete with people like me and Kakarot. You're only human and you dont possess our trait to grow stronger every fight or near death.

Tien: I'm aware of that. I dont need some alien with an attitude telling me something I already know. And strength isnt everything. Technique will always triumph over strength.

Vegeta: Sure. I'll believe it when I see it.

(Vegeta takes a fighting stance as does Tien)

Tien: I'll teach you not to underestimate me

(Vegeta rushes Tien to land a kick. Tien tanks it and gets sent flying back. Vegeta rushes in again and Tien stops him with a Solar Flare then cups the blinded Vegeta's face and slams his knee against his face a couple times and shoots a small Kamehameha wave at Vegeta sending him back)

Vegeta: Argh..first Kakarot, then Krillin, Yamcha, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Cell, Buu and now you. How many of you know that blasted move?!

Tien: Its a technique that works. I have my own array of moves just like you. Dont think the Kamehameha is the only move I have in my arsenal. And I'd wager that mine outclass yours.

(A yellow glow charges up around Tien's finger)

Tien: Dodon Ray!

(The Dodon Ray reaches Vegeta, but he tanks the blast)

Vegeta: Heh. What was that suppose to be?

(Vegeta shoots a ki barrage at Tien then appears from behind him and sledgehammers him to the ground, but Tien manages to stop himself midair and catch his barrings)

Vegeta: Nice save, but your "technique over strength" ideology doesnt seem to be working in your favour. Unless you have any other tricks up your sleeve, then you can forfeit. Because you cant win.

Tien: Dont sell me short just yet. I have one more move.

(Tien is surrounded in a red aura)

Tien: And I'm sure you're familiar with this one. Kaioken!

Vegeta: WHAT!?

Vegeta: For gods sake. Again?? I wouldnt be surprised if Yamcha or Piccolo knew the Kaioken as well. But this does kick things up a notch. Haa!

(Their auras illuminate the sky in a white and red glow. Tien rushes Vegeta and ducks under an oncoming punch and smashes his fist into Vegeta's chest. Tien then uses his Four Arm First technique as two extra arms shoot out from his shoulder blades, now trading blows with the fully powered up base form Vegeta. He unleashes some more combos as Vegeta expands his aura to push him. Tien rises into the air)

Tien: Lets see how you handle this

(Tien cups his hands in a triangle)

Tien: SHIN KIKOHO-KEN!

(Tien fires a red, Kaioken x20 powered Tri Beam at Vegeta, slowly sending him to the ground gradually and damaging him. Tien fires one last wave as Vegeta unleashes an explosion to nullify the damage of the final Tri Beam)

(Vegeta looks down and sees himself in his Super Saiyan 2 form)

Krillin: Hey, look at that! Vegeta transformed. So he lost!

Vegeta: Argh! Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!

Tien: As I said before. Technique will always triumph over strength.

(Tien reverts back to base as does Vegeta)

Vegeta: Alright. Fine. You're right. Technique and strength cant live without each other.

Tien: You're damn right. Although I cant maintain the Neo Tri Beam for long. It only served to stall Cell when I first used it. Realistically I probably would have lost to you if you used Super Saiyan and if you didnt have to tuck away your forms.

Vegeta: You would have killed me if I hadnt went Super Saiyan 2. Especially with a Kaioken powered Tri Beam.

Tien: I still may have had some pent up aggression for what you and your friend did when you first came to Earth. Doesn't mean you didnt deserve it. I've let bygones be bygones, but that doesn't mean I like you, Vegeta.

Vegeta: Hahaha. Understandable. You're a great warrior, Tien.

Goku: Wow. I didnt know Tien had it in him to beat Vegeta. He sure has come a long way.

Piccolo: That Shin Kikoho-Ken could probably give your Super Saiyan 3 form a run for its money. Gohan. You're up next. Dont pull a Vegeta for the 3rd time and underestimate Yamcha like you did to Cell and Buu got it?

Gohan: Okay Mr. Piccolo. I wont.

(Yamcha and Gohan ascend in the air)

Yamcha: I gotta say bro. Your haircut's lookin' real smooth.

Gohan: Oh? You think so?

Yamcha: Heck yeah! You look like a stud. All you need are some facial scars and boom, you'll look as cool as me!

(Silence)

Yamcha:...What? I am cool arent I?

(He looks at the viewers)

Gohan: Can we just skip to fighting now, please?

Yamcha: Alright alright. But before we do, there's something I have to do.

Gohan: Use the bathroom?

Yamcha: No I-

Gohan: Grab a quick bite to eat?

Yamcha: I-

Gohan: Need Puar to give you some kit-

Yamcha: SHUT UP AND LET ME FINISH!

Gohan: I'm sorry!

(Yamcha inhales and then exhales)

Yamcha: Kaioken.

(A calm red aura surrounds his body)

Gohan: Wow! You learnt the Kaioken too? Thats awesome!

Yamcha: Thank you. After Buu killed us, Krillin, Chiaotzu, Tien and I had some extra training with King Kai and some dudes named Olibu and Pikkon. With our power, we really cant do as much compared to you, Vegeta and your dad, but it doesn't mean we should just lag behind. When something bad happens, numbers usually add to the strength.

Gohan: Well, I agree. Why dont you show me what you've learnt then?

(Gohan powers up fully in his base, which Yamcha goes Kaioken x20)

Yamcha: I dont see why not.

(Yamcha speed blitzes Gohan and headbutts him)

Yamcha: Your dad wasnt wrong when he said you need to work on your awareness.

(Gohan wipes blood off his nose)

Gohan: Gimme a moment and I'll show you just how aware I can be.

(Gohan lands a hard punch on Yamcha's block)

Yamcha: Thats the spirit!

(Yamcha blocks several oncoming attacks, having some trouble at blocking a few)

Yamcha: Spirit Ball!

(Yamcha directs his Spirit Ball in every direction to distract Gohan and kicks him a few meters back)

Yamcha: You Saiyans have grown too reliant on your Super Saiyan forms.

(Yamcha unleashes a Wolf Fang Fist and a Bending Kamehameha at Gohan)

Gohan: You're right. I guess we are. But not me. I'm not dependant on transformations.

(Gohan kicks Yamcha in the knee and does a spinning elbow strike)

Gohan: You're forgetting that I'm the strongest Saiyan currently. Excluding fusions of course, but I could put Gotenks to sleep anyday. That's not my ego fyi. That's a fact.

(Gohan does a backflip kick that sends Yamcha crashing down but he stops himself. When he looks up, he sees Gohan rushing him with a Kamehameha Boost and headbutts Yamcha to the ground, beating him)

Yamcha: Ah dammit! I was sure I had you there!

(Gohan lands beside the sulking Yamcha)

Gohan: If its any consolation, I think you're pretty cool, Yamcha. Why'd you think I copied your old hairstyle?

Yamcha: R-really? You think I'm cool? You really do?

Gohan: Of course I do. I have never looked down on you or anyone for their power. You're an awesome person and warrior all round. You're a badass in my book.

Yamcha: (sniffles) Thanks bro...you're a real G.

Piccolo: Well then, I'm guessing next up are me and the pipsqueak.

Chiaotzu: (sticks his tongue out at Piccolo)

(Chiaotzu and Piccolo ascend into the air)

Piccolo in his mind: I know he isnt that powerful, but its his techniques that make this fight a little tricky.

Chiaotzu: Hey Piccolo?

Piccolo: What?

Chiaotzu: Catch!

(Chiaotzu uses a psychic rock throw. Piccolo catches the rock and smirks)

Piccolo: Nice rock. Keep it for yourself

(Piccolo tosses it back at Chiaotzu)

Piccolo: Oh and dont think you're the only one who can do it

(Piccolo uses psychic abilities to bring some trees and rocks together to form a ball and tosses it at Chiaotzu. Chiaotzu uses his psychic powers and redirects them back at Piccolo but he dissappears and reappears behind him)

Piccolo: Peak a boo

(Chiaotzu vanishes and appears behind Piccolo, holding onto his cape. Piccolo removes the cape and punches Chiaotzu's gut through the cape)

Piccolo: Hey hold this for me would you?

(Piccolo hands the weighted cape to Chiaotzu as it sends him falling downwards, but he manages to let go in time)

Chiaotzu: That wasnt cool! Kaioken!

Piccolo: Good, so you're finally bringing your A game.

(Piccolo evades oncoming psychic attacks, but Chiaotzu uses his size to his advantage to maneuver beside Piccolo. Chiaotzu fires a Dodon Ray as he uses telekinesis to hold Piccolo in place)

Chiaotzu: I got you now, Piccolo. This time, you lose.

(Chiaotzu charges up several Dodon Rays that break up into 10 different Dodon Rays. Piccolo uses a mouth blast to negate every single Dodon Ray)

Piccolo: What's 7 times 88?

Chiaotzu: Uhh...

(Chiaotzu is distracted by the math based question and momentarily stops his psyhic hold on Piccolo, using his fingers to calculate the answer to the Namekians question as he shoots several Special Beam Bullets from his fingers as if shooting Chiaotzu with guns. Chiaotzu counters back with his series of Dodon Rays that negate every one of Piccolo's Beam Bullets. Piccolo starts to slowly the gap between himself and Chiaotzu and uses a fake Explosive Wave as a distraction then appears behind him a couple meters and uses his stretchy arms and pushes Chiaotzu to the ground with a tight grip, sealing his win)

Piccolo: Sorry about that. I couldn't just let you beat me and show me up in front of Gohan and the kids. You did great. Amazing even.

(He extends a hand out for Chiaotzu, to which he takes)

Chiaotzu: Thanks! I'm glad my training with the others managed to pay off in some way.

(Vegeta looks down at Trunks, realising its his turn to fight Android 18)

Trunks: Goten and I couldnt beat Ms. 18 during the tournament even as Super Saiyans. I dunno if I can beat her, dad.

Vegeta: Just use what you've learnt against her during our training. Use your head against her, not your fists. If it helps, she can't sense energy, but she doesn't have any for us to be able to sense.

Trunks: Ah right. Thanks dad.

Vegeta: Oh and Trunks.

Trunks: Yeah dad?

Vegeta: Pound her to the ground! Remember you still need to beat Goten as well. Assuming he can even get past Buu of course.

(Vegeta's exclaims in an angry tone, remembering the time when 18 broke his arm, triggering some pent up rage)

Trunks: Oh yeah. I got it.

Krillin: Hey 18, go easy on Trunks would ya?

Android 18: Relax Krillin. You're acting like I'm going to kill him or something. He'll be fine.

(Trunks and 18 ascend up in the air)

Android 18: I did beat your father, Trunks. I dont think you'll beat me in any way, but I'm curious to see what you'll do.

Trunks: Yeah I know, but I'm way stronger than he use to be at that time. Even without Super Saiyan, I'll still find some way to beat you

(Trunks charges up a yellow sparking blast in both his hands)

Trunks: Duster Cannon!

(He fires two blasts that circle around 18 ans explode. It doesn't do damage, but it creates massive dust cloud in whichever path the blast travelled)

Trunks: (whispering) Hehe...Dad told me that your kind cant sense energy...but oh yeah, I cant sense you either, but hey. You're the one at a bigger disadvantage than me

(Trunks enters the dust cloud and spams ki blasts in hope of hitting 18. 18 attempts to fly out of the cloud, but everytime she does, Trunks fires more and more Duster Cannons and performs the same tactic, even going as far to rushing her and landing physical attacks and close range Finish Busters and Kamehamehas. Amidst the assault, 18 grabs Trunks by the collar)

Android 18: Argh, you're really starting to annoy me with that dust attack of yours kid.

(She punches him in the face, to which Trunks fires more Duster Cannons)

Trunks: Like I care.

(After a couple repeats, Trunks sledgehammers her from behind, sending her to the ground and even latching onto her to make sure she's rung out)

Trunks: YEAH, I WON!

Android 18: Get off me, punk! (punches Trunks off)

Trunks: Oh yeah, sorry. But I still won!

(This puts a smile to Vegeta's face)

Android 18: You got lucky, remember that. I was going easy on you so I didnt hurt you too bad. Dont ever forget that you half pint royal reject.

(Trunks laughes sheepishly and attempts to hide some wet stain on his pants after 18s warning. Goten grabs onto the lower half of Gohan's pants to get his attention)

Gohan: Whats up sport?

Goten: I...I'm scared of the big Buu guy. I cant beat him. He even killed mom on the lookout by turning her into an egg before Trunks and I went into the hyperbolic room...

Gohan: Hey, it's okay. This Buu is different from the one that killed our mom. I know they both look alike, but this one is good, I swear. You dont have to fight him if you dont want to.

Goten: B-but if I dont, I'll be laughed at and made fun of and Mr. Vegeta will scold me and call me a coward.

Gohan: Dont worry about Vegeta, he doesn't get to dictate the kind of person you are. Nobody does. And what exactly is he gonna do? If he tries to hurt you, I'll kick his butt.

(Gohan smiles and flexes his bicep muscle)

Goten: I-I want to fight Buu.

Gohan: But I thought you said-

Goten: Its okay.

(Goten flies into the air, waiting for Majin Buu)

Buu: Hercule told Buu to play easy with little kids, so Buu no go full power against you.

Goten: Okay...

(Goten takes a stance and takes a breath in)

Goku: You can do this Goten! No pressure!

(Goten charges towards Buu, only to get swatted away. He catches his bearings and rushes Buu once more, unleashing a fiery of punches that got dodged with no difficulty)

Trunks: Wow, he's not gonna win this at all, is he?

Vegeta: Of course not.

Goku: H-hey now, lets just have some faith in him okay?

Vegeta: Respectfully Kakarot, if you need Super Saiyan 3 to beat Buu, then Goten without transforming has no chance of winning this.

(Goku remains silent, knowing Vegeta is right)

Goten: I...I cant even touch you!

(Goten exclaims, angry at himself for not being able to do anything to wound Buu)

Goten in his mind: I have to win. I dont want Trunks winning nor do I wanna lose while he beat miss 18. I dont wanna disappoint Gohan or dad.

Buu: Oh? Goku Junior tired?

Goten: No, I'm not tired. And my name is Goten.

(Goten has a stern look on his face as he fires a Kamehameha towards Buu and dashes towards him from underneath his own blast. The blast connects with Buu, but does zero damage as it served as a distraction so Goten could sledgehammer Buu. Gotens plan works but doesn't damage nor push him to the ground)

Buu: Goten had really nice plan. But Buu no stupid!

(Buu rushes Goten and starts punching him rapidly while holding back enough to not fatally wound Goten. As Goten crosses his arms to block the attacks, he secretly rips a piece of Buu out and shoots consecutive energy blasts at Buu and dashes back to gain distance)

Goten: Take this!

(Goten chucks the piece of Buu's skin and tosses it at rapid speed towards the ground)

Goten: Hey Gohan! A piece of Buu is on the ground! That means he loses right?!

(Buu and everyone else look on dumbfounded)

Gohan:...Well...technically a part of Buu's body touched the ground. So I guess Goten wins? What do you think dad?

Goku: Honestly, yeah. I cant believe Goten came up with such a smart tactic. Great work, son!

(Goku and Buu start clapping for Goten's win while Vegeta questions his entire existence)

Gohan: That was awesome Goten! Dad and I would have never been thought of ripping out a piece of Buu and tossing it to the floor. I'm proud of you

(Goten descends)

Goten: Thanks, Gohan!

Trunks: Whatever, you couldn't even beat Buu in a fair fight and resorted to throwing a piece of his body to the ground.

Goten: But you couldn't even beat miss 18 without shooting your dust blast at her! And she isnt stretchy and wobbly like Buu!

Trunks: At least my opponent didnt need to hold back on me to give me a chance at winning. If anything, Buu let you win out of-

Piccolo: Both of you shut up.

(Piccolo cuts Trunks off)

Piccolo: You both won fair and square. Doesn't matter if your opponent held back. Now shut up and stop crying like little girls.

(Goten and Trunks turn away from each other and grumble under their breaths)

Gohan: Dont worry about it sport. You won, that's what matters.

Goku: Welp, its my turn now and I'm fighting Tien!

Tien: Just know I won't go easy on you, Goku.

(Tien and Goku ascend to the air)

Goku: This takes me back to when we fought in the 22nd and 23rd World Tournament all those years ago when we were kids.

Tien: Me too. If memory serves, I won against you in the 22 tournament while you beat me and Piccolo in the 23rd, which would mean our score is tied 1-1. And as said before, I have no intention of letting you win. You may be a Saiyan, but you're limited to your base form. Lets see how well you do without transforming.

(Goku smirks)

Goku: Oh trust me, I wont be any pushover just because I'm not allowed to transformed. I gotta admit though, I didn't expect you to beat Vegeta, even in base. Admittedly, I underestimated you, so that's my bad.

(Tien activates his Kaioken)

Tien: I dont mean to brag, but I was the first human to beat a Saiyan, even though neither of us knew you were an alien.

(Goku's hair spikes up as he activates his Kaioken)

Goku: Just dont get a big head, okay? I'm not nearly as cocky as Vegeta.

Tien: I'm well aware, Goku.

(Tien rushes Goku and reappears behind Goku, as he unleashes a sledgehammer which gets blocked by Goku's arms being crossed. They begin to trade blows, parrying each others moves. Tien fires a Dodon Ray to which Goku evades, using Instant Transmission to reappear in front of Tien, then using it once more to teleport behind him as Tien follows through with a punch forward after Goku had teleported behind him. As Tien tries to back kick Goku, Goku counters by blocking with his arm and punching Tien in the face)

Tien: I see you haven't lost your touch. HAA!

(With a yell, his Kaioken aura flares up as 2 arms stick out from under his shoulder blades and uses them to shoot energy blasts towards Goku to which he deflects)

Goku: Cmon Tien, don't you remember how this went last time? Grr..

(Goku struggles as he grows 4 more extra arms, two from under his shoulder blades like Tien and two more slightly below those pairs of arms, causing mainly Vegeta, Goten and Trunks to look disgusted and back away slightly)

Vegeta: KAKAROT WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?! THATS DISGUSTING!

Trunks: Oh, thats disgusting alright..

Goten: Ewwwwww, dad looks like a human spider!

Krillin: Yikes, I forgot Goku could do that too.

(Goku and Tien engage in combat once more, this time with all of their extra limbs, each landing blows on each other after the first few pairs of clashes or parries. Eventually Goku gets hit in the face and begins using Instant Transmission to maneuver around Tien, dissappearing and reappearing in whatever direction he pleases. As Goku prepares to strike, Tien ducks and performs one uppercut with the using the arm of his original set of limbs and gut punches Goku with his arm from his secondary pair of limbs as Goku stumbles backwards, clutching his gut, then wiping some blood off his lower lip)

Goku: Gah! I didn't think you could counter Instant Transmission. You must have been training your senses to their limit ever since I've been dead haven't you?

Tien: You're right about that. There's nothing that can escape my third eye Goku. Not even your Instant Transmission. Your energy may be all over the place, but my sense of sight is superior to yours and the others.

(Tien launches a Tri Beam at Goku to which he evades. Goku shoots a blast as a distraction as he vanishes and creates 4 afterimages around Tien, each charging up a Kaioken enhanced Kamehameha)

Goku: You cant stop this one, Tien!

Goku's Afterimage: You're outmatched

Tien: Hmph. You don't fool me, Goku.

(Tien lunges at the afterimage of Goku charging up a Kamehameha. His fist phases through the mirage, but using his secondary pair of arms, he cuffs his hands together backwards and shoots a Kamehameha at another afterimage of Goku that was behind him, being the real Goku. The Kamehameha from Tien catches him off guard as he ducks and repositions himself)

Tien: I told you Goku! Nothing can escape my third eye!

Goku: That doesn't mean I'm quitting!

(Goku rushes Tien once more as they trade blows and parry each others attacks before inevitably separating from each other as they retract their other pair of limbs back into their shoulder blades and lower back. Goku begins to pant as does Tien)

Goku in his mind: Tien's done some serious training. Every technique I use is always met with some kind of counter. He's even matching me in Kaioken. Instant Transmission and the afterimage technique are useless because of that third eye. The Kamehameha is pointless and so is the Spirit Bomb. I dont even know why I'm considering the Spirit Bomb to begin with. Tien's not evil so he'd just deflect it away like Gohan did when we fought Vegeta.

Tien in his mind: Goku's still as tough as he always use to be. I managed to break his guard once...but once isnt enough. My Dodon Ray, Tri Beam and Four Witches Technique are useless. He's already seen those techniques when we fought at the world tournaments. Multi form will only result in an immediate lose. If he could beat Cell when he used it, then me using it wont be productive for me.

Goku: My blood's pumping you know? I'm really amazed at your progress. Heck you even managed to beat Vegeta so I'm taking this seriously.

Tien: Me too! This really takes me back to the good days.

(Tien rushes Goku once more)

Goku: I gotta think of something.

(Goku uses Instant Transmission and launches several non lethal Destructo Discs at Tien and teleports near the discs at every moment)

Tien: The same technique again and again? You know this won't beat me!

(Tien yells out as he dodges the discs)

Goku: You're right. Which is why I'm not using just one technique.

(Goku appears in front of Tien as he dodges the discs)

Goku: SOLAR FLARE!

(Goku brings his hands to his face as he uses Tiens own technique on him, then follows up with a powerful gut punch, then grabs his leg, performing a dragon throw that sends Tien flying downwards and crashing onto the ground, securing Goku's victory)

Chiaotzu: Tien, are you alright?

(Chiaotzu asks as he rushes to Tiens side as Goku descends)

Tien: Dont worry, Chiaotzu. I'm perfectly alright.

(Goku extends a hand to help Tien up)

Goku: Man, you were awesome! I havent been this thrilled jn a while now. You fought amazingly, old friend.

(Tien takes Goku's hand and stands up)

Tien: Thanks. You were amazing too, Goku. I'm glad to have sparred with you again and come close to beating you . Even though you weren't using your transformations, but it is what it is. 2 for you and 1 for me.

(Goku smiles and turns to look at Gohan)

Goku: Its your turn now, Gohan. Give Piccolo a good run for his money why doncha?

Gohan: Dont worry dad, I will.

Goten: Goodluck big bro!

(Gohan and Piccolo ascend in the air. Piccolo removes his cape and holds it in his hand, while leaving his turban on)

Piccolo: Okay kid, lets see if you've been taking time out to train even a little.

Gohan: I have actually...a little bit. You know, when you fought Chiaotzu I thought he'd have beaten you there.

Piccolo: I almost did. Its just this darn rule of staying in the air off ground.

(He lets go of his weighted cape as it falls down to the ground, creating a small crater over where it landed as he cracks his neck and wrists)

Piccolo: This won't be easy for you since you cant go Super Saiyan. I dont mean to brag, but the last time we fought, I knocked you out within 5 blows when you were a Super Saiyan 1.

Gohan: I remember, but I dont need to be a Super Saiyan to give you a run for your money.

(Gohan begins powering up in base)

Piccolo: Isnt that the power you used on Super Buu?

Gohan: It is. Elder Kai said accessing this form is like going Super Saiyan, but this power which he unleashed from within feels VERY different from anything Saiyan related. When I go full power in my base form, this Ultimate state just automatically takes hold over a small chunk of my power, then more as I transform . I'm not so sure if it counts as transforming.

Piccolo: Power up as much as you want. You're gonna need it.

Gohan: Okay, but remember you asked for it.

(Gohan dashes towards Piccolo as Piccolo stops an intended gut punch with his arms crossed as the master and student begin to trade blows. Gohan goes for a slash kick, but Piccolo vanishes and reappears behind Gohan and uses his stretchy arm and swings it in his direction and launches a point blank Demon Wave which knocks Gohan back. As he regains his footing he rushes Piccolo once more, unleashing a series of kicks to his torso and reverse knuckle smacks to the face. After separating, Gohan fires consecutive ki blasts at Piccolo. Piccolo crosses his arms then releases them, triggering a Super Explosive Wave, sending Gohan back a little. Piccolo charges two yellow ki balls in each hand then shoots it up, not right at Gohan, but near him and continues shooting more and more)

Piccolo: HELLZONE GRENADE!

(On Piccolo's command, the swarm of ki balls collide onto Gohan. After they do, Piccolo dashes in for a flying kick to which Gohan responds to with a punch, as their respective attacks make contact together, Gohans fist in Piccolos face and Piccolo's leg in Gohan's stomach. After the exchange, they move away for some distance. They once again, engage in close combat, trying to get one over the other. Gohan on the offensive while Piccolo on the defensive, sneaking in counter attacks whenever he has the chance. As Piccolo catches a kick and holds onto Gohans foot with a firm grasp and uses a paralysis beam, then unleashes an onslaught of combos. He takes a step back and uses his leg for a stretchy kick. Just in time, Gohan breaks free of the paralysis beam and ducks under the kick. He shoots a one handed Masenko and vanishes, reappearing behind Piccolo as he deflects the Masenko. Gohan performs a bicycle kick that sends Piccolo crashing down, but as he flies downwards he anf Gohan simultaneously charge a Special Beam Cannon)

Gohan: Special...

Piccolo: Beam...

Gohan/Piccolo: CANNON!

(Their blasts clash together, but Gohans slowly overtakes the clash which hits Piccolo, sending him falling to the ground, defeated)

Piccolo: Argh. Beaten by my own move...how embarrassing

(Gohan descends down to him)

Gohan: You okay, Piccolo?

Piccolo: Fine...I'm fine. I just didn't expect to lose to you so quickly.

Gohan: I told you I wasn't slacking off on my training...for the most part.

Piccolo: I can tell. I'm proud of you, kid.

Trunks: Hey Goten. You and I are gonna fight next and I'm gonna beat you.

Goten: Oh yeah? Well I'll show you, Trunks!

(Goten and Trunks ascend to the skies)

Goku: Goodluck Goten!

Vegeta: Teach him who the better fighter is, Trunks!

Piccolo: Looks like whatever rivalry they have passed onto their kids.

Gohan: Its only natural they'd want their kids to win. And I have hope that Goten will pull through. He may not be as tough as us, but he's tougher than the average fighter.

(Goten and Trunks take a fighting stance. Trunks rushes Goten, fighting on the offense while Goten is on defense)

Trunks: You're fighting me, Goten. I'm not gonna go easy on you like Buu did. After all, he let you win out of pity.

Goten: Shut up, Trunks. Miss 18 let you win out of pity.

(Trunks catches a punch from Goten and kicks him away)

Trunks: No she didnt! I beat her fair and square. Least I'm not the one who has to beg my opponent to go easy on me.

Goten: SHUT UP!

(Goten ducks under Trunks' kick and gives him a full powered punch straight in the face, causing Trunks to stagger back in pain. He then rushes Goten once more as they engage in close combat, vanishing all over the sky to get one over on the other. Trunks dodges a punch and holds him in a headlock)

Trunks: Face it. I'm gonna win this again. Like last time at the tournament. And I wont have to cheat like you to win!

(Goten struggles to break free. He closes his eyes and thinks of Goku, Gohan and everyone else looking at him, worrying about disappointing them again as Trunks talks trash. Goten brings his legs up to Trunks face and wraps them tightly around his neck and pulls his legs forward, shooting Trunks off of him and far away, breaking from his grip. Trunks catches his footing in the air. They shoot a Kamehameha at each other and engage in a beam struggle. Goten struggles to pull through on his end and ditches the beam struggle and charges towards Trunks underneath the Kamehameha's and headbutts Trunks in the nose, sending him crashing down onto the ground)

Goten: I won! I beat Trunks at last!

Gohan: Great job, Goten!

Goten: I finally beat Trunks in another tournament! I finally won!

(Goten exclaims happily as Trunks grumbles to himself)

Goku: You sure put that brain of yours to good use, son. I'm so proud of you.

Trunks: I'm sorry for losing, dad. I really tried.

(Trunks says to Vegeta in a bit of a disheartened tone, but Vegeta pats his head)

Vegeta: Its alright, Trunks. You performed well and I'm proud of you. You can beat Goten next time.

Trunks: Thanks dad.

(Trunks smiles as Vegeta turns to Goku)

Vegeta: Seems like the finals will comprise of you fighting your sons, Kakarot.

Goku: Uh huh. Looks like a threeway fight.

Vegeta: I called it didn't I? Either you or Gohan would win this little tournament. I'll admit, I had some fun too despite losing to Tien. Let's not make this an everyday habit though.

Goku: Dont beat yourself up about it, I lost to Tien when we first fought too.

(Goku turns to his sons)

Goku: You guys ready?

Gohan/Goten: Yeah!

(The father and sons ascend upwards into the sky)
