The Alternate Universe

Chapter Fifteen : The Tournament of Mystery

The day had arrived of the Twenty-fifth Tenchaki Budokai,after so many years.After many hours of non-stop(for some) nerve-racking(for some) training, the day had come.
Piccolo,standing alone,his cape fluttering in the wind as the six-am sun began to climb through the sky,sensed something evil brewing.
It would begin in two hours on this fog-ridden but warm winter morning.
Llec crawled out of his bone-filled cave and slithered through to the edge of his forest,looking out onto Piccolo and the city beyond.
Today was going to be fine..if only those people would show themselves...Llec thought,waiting for Piccolo to leave.
The creature in the ship ordered for two of his minions to go to the tournament early and check the energy meter,to see if they could get someone before the tournament could start.They left straight away for Satan's tournament grounds.
Shin and Kibito,too,left early,too search for the creature in the ship's minions.They would be arriving at the tournament to take the power of a strong fighter,and they must get their before the minions do,or it could be curtains for the universe.
Master Roshi was not there when the turtle came back to the house after a night in the sea.Oolong and Puuar slept heavily, as usual, but the turtle hermit was nowhere to be seen.
At seven am,the time that the combatants must arrive, the Z team was queing up with everyone else at a side entrance entitled Adult Combatant's Entrance, while beside them the children walked through the queless Children's entrance.The officials,men in completely orange robes tied off at the waist, wrist and ankles by blue silk, said that this was because there was less children and also they did not have to go through the test the adults did.
"What test?"Goku asked as the que whittled itself down.
"There will be a strength test using a punching machine"an official said while calling out names of people and sending them through."There will be a certain level you must attain to proceed into the tournament"
Krillin and Goku headed the Z team, followed by Piccolo and Llec,the former feeling very nervous about the latter.
"Majunior,please go through"an official said.Piccolo looked up,sweat on his face."Are you okay,sir?"
"Fine"Piccolo replied,flashing his identity card.He walked through into a garden,with a pond in the center and a bridge going over it,fed by water coming from a statue of a dragon's mouth,all of this surrounded by ornaments, statues, flowers and plants.Piccolo stopped halfway through and looked down into the water,and saw not only his relfection,but Llec's.They stared each other off and Piccolo,in an instant, thought he knew who Llec was,but the idea was quickly withdrawn.
"Hello"Piccolo said,and Llec quickly darted away into the building after the bridge,one labelled Adult Combatant's Training Room.Piccolo walked right over and through into the training room,but kept on going until he came out into a white-tiled square like a market one.At the far end was another building,labelled Adult Combatant's Cooling Room,and in the center was the punching machine,flanked by officials.
Llec had evidently skipped the que somehow and so Piccolo was back with Goku and Krillin.
"I think we should mask our true powers"Piccolo suggested.
"Why?"Krillin asked.
"Hmm...there are a number of reasons.First,there are all these people who are hiding things.There is too much strange stuff going on for me to be sure its safe to reveal ourselves.Secondly,they may recognise us from the Cell Games"
"Well,my hair is back to normal know isnt it?"Goku asked.
"Just do as I say"Piccolo ordered.
The que had got to Goku.He walked forward and tapped the punching bag,so that "160" flashed up on the display.
"Your through"an official said."Next"
"I just hope Vegeta doesnt pull any tricks"Piccolo said,before spreading the message to others.
Krillin came forward and hit it,but with his fist and harder.He got 190.
Piccolo came forward and got 150.The minimum to get through was 120.
Fighters were being turned away,grumbling and complaining with their low scores.By now the whole Z team knew to conceal their powers.
Two mysterious,muscly fighters got 130 each,the giant one's name being Spopovitch and the smaller one's being Yamu.
Shin and Kibito got 220 for themselves,Llec had hung back behind Spopovitch and Yamu and got a 450,surprising everyone and inducing even more fear into Piccolo.It was finally down to just Gohan, Vegeta, Kasama and Videl.Vegeta moved first and punched the bag lighty,to everyone's relief.He scored a 560,but then a ball of light appeared in his hand and the machine exploded.Bits of rubber,metal and wires burst into the sky among black smoke.
"Vegeta!!"Piccolo called out in anger.The prince looked up to the official with a confident smile.His robes were completely covered in a thick layer of ash.
"M-m-m-m-Mr. Vegeta sir,you may proceeeeddd"he stuttered,and Vegeta did so.
Another official walked up to the ruins of the machine and called out,"We seem to have encountered some technical difficulties and must replace the punching machine.Please,do not leave.We apologise for the inconvenience"as he stepped down the que booed and moaned loudly,then broke out in conversation.
"Hey,I recognise that Vegeta guy"
"Did you just see him blow that machine up?"
"There was no technical difficulties,he blew it up man!"
"Wasnt he at the Cell Games?"
"Then he's one of those fakes!We dont want fakes!"
"See what I mean?"Piccolo whispered to Goku as the hastily exited,leaving Gohan,Kasama and Videl alone at the front of the que.
They walked into the Cooling room,a small blue room which was nice and cold,and then proceeded through into the grounds themselves.
The stands were gigantic,at the very bottom walled off from the ground by a three-foot-tall white wall.In between the wall and the fighting ring was a patch of grass going all the way around.Krillin watched their families arrive and sit down, and lightly pointed something out to everyone.
"Hey guys,this is only the kid's tournament,do you wanna get a seat in the stands?"he asked.
Everyone agreed,except Piccolo and Tien,who said they could watch better here.The crowd was talking loudly and happily,and there was a general pre-match mix of anticipation and excitement,even for the kid's tournament.
"Do you sense it?"Piccolo asked Tien.
"Yes I do"Tien replied,"That's why I thought I'd stay with you.Llec, Shin, Kibito, they're all just not normal..."
"Your mind is sharp,but you have missed two more"Piccolo said.
"Who?"Tien asked.
"Spopovitch and Yamu.They're in on something too"
"Hmm..."Tien murmured.
Spopvitch was a giant of a man,with extremely large muscles and bulging black veins,with a large letter "M" emblazened on his forehead.Yamu was the same,except not so large and muscly.They both looked extremely sick,but also excited about something.
"No announcer or compere,whats going on?"Vegeta hissed.
"Have some patience"Goku said.
"You can talk!"
There was a noise.The walls just above the highest seats all around the stadium were opening.Black sheets were sliding out of them and turning themselves upright,until four gigantic black screens were high in the sky for all to see.Even Gohan, Videl and Kasama,still queing up as they looked for a replacement machine,could see the action.The screen's were turning themselves on.There was definately some action to be shown.
A picture of Mr.Satan in his fighting pose flashed up on it.
"Now now boys and girls,did you ever wonder what happened all those years ago....?"he whispered."At the Cell Games?"
"Yeah,I won it"Gohan muttered bitterly.
"Well,let me take you on a journey through time,and through visual effects!This is...this is what happened"
He bowed out and across the screen a desert-moor type area came into veiw.
A simple ring with white spiked turrets on each edge was slap-bang in the middle,a small creature was in the middle of that,his arms folded,not facing the screen.
He turned and made Goku burst out laughing.
It was supposedly Perfect Cell,with a large fake head about five times the size of a normal one,looking extremely farcical.Just then another figure like this,only Mr.Satan-based,ran forward and jumped onto the ring.
Not just Goku sniggered at his silly,slow,flat toned-voice,like a very bad actor.
"Cell!ha-ha!So...glad...I...found...you...!Scared,Cell?You should be!I will make sure that you pay for all your crimes!"
"Oh...no...Hercule!The greatest fighter in the world!What...what must I do?"
Just then,something that made Goku nearly topple over in his laughing fit burst onto the screen.
About six people being moved slowly across the "sky"(which at the sides you could see wires and flashes of camcorders)by indiscreet black wires.A man with orange training uniform and spikey blonde hair put one foot on the stage.Piccolo and Vegeta looked throughly disgusted,Krillin was flashes his eyes around sarcastically,and Yamcha was laughing with Goku.
Everyone was surprised by how much they sounded like Goku.
"No...stop,Cell!Stop there!"
"Silly civilian,you could get hurt!"the Satan figure called.
Cell walked forward."I wanted a challenge!"he began punching,it looked so fake even Krillin had trouble covering his giggles,"He-ha-ha-he!Heerah!He-hu-ha!"he kept saying,jumping and punching.Then the Cell actor pressed his foot down on a little switch near the edge of the ring creating a blast of thick dust followed longly by a BANG!.The chirade didnt stop there,but continued.Satan began grappling with the beast.
"Blondey might not have been a challenge,but I...!"he said."heehah!He-ha-ha!"he said,punching.
Cell,out of nowhere,suddenly crumbled.
"Oh...no...you have...defeated me!"he mumbled with terrible acting."I dont know how I ever thought I could defeat such a great martial artist!"
Behind them Llec grunted noisily.
"Arrghhh!"he screamed,for once,sounding slightly real,and exploded in a ball of smoke and ashes,followed by a short blast of orange light...apparently the flames.The stage had been "destroyed".They could see through the smoke the white blocks go under the stage and be replaced by a stage covered in dirt.It looked extremely fake.Goku and Yamcha seemed to have recovered from their giggle fits.
Hercule was laughing,one foot on the stage,holding a signed book with a signed picture of himself as the bookmark.
"My autobiography is available in the store...TODAY!"he yelled,holding it close up to the screen.
He flashed off and after a breif showing of the email,website adress,phone number and major stores where you could obtain the book,adverts began to flash themselves up,with the Capsule Corperation logo heavily visible in the background.
"We sponser them and we still get these seats"Bulma complained.
"But whats wrong,were at the very front"Goku said.
"I dont wanna be at the front I wanna be in the box sipping champagne!"Bulma cried.
"Oh"Goku said.
Someone pushed past Piccolo and Tien.
"What the-"Piccolo growled at the man wearing a smart black suit.He walked right onto the ring and into the center.
"Did you guys see those pink people at the registration office?"Goku asked through a mouthful of hot dog,"Weird"
"Yeah,me too Goku,they were freaky"Yamcha said.
"Welcome!!"the man cried,making everyone turn their full attention to him.He was short,with black sunglasses and slick golden hair and a smart black suit.
"Hey,its the old announcer!"Krillin cried."Woo-hoo!"
"Yeah,cool!"Goku agreed.
"What rubbish..."Vegeta muttered.
"I hope your all sitting comfortably for the beggining of the children's division,are you not?"the announcer asked.There was a feeble call of "Yes"
"I cant hear you!!"the announcer shouted.
"YESS!!"the crowd bellowed back.
"Alright!"the announcer cried,"Let us begin our child championship!Our little fighter's will be shortly appearing,dont go away!"
He turned round to an official who was concealing himself in the corner by a great whiteboard.
"Who's up?"he asked the man.
"It's first Roy and Jau"
The announcer gave a thumbs up,turned back around and shouted,"Now completely at random,Jau versus Roy!"
"Roy is a ten year old boy from Satan city,Jau is a thirteen year old girl from West City.Wish them good luck!"the announcer yelled.
Goku was cheering like a baby,screaming wildly in his seat,writhing like a snake.
"Calm down,ya big baby!"Krillin said,pushing down his flailing arms.
Roy charged forward but Jau punched him in the face.He tripped and slipped along the ring,his legs went off,but he held them above the ground,sweat pouring down him.Jau ran and kicked but Roy dodged and rolled aside.Jau kicked,her foot went back and smashed into the edge of the stage.She screamed and fell onto the floor.
"Okay,some drama!Round one to Roy!"the announcer yelled.He heard the official tell him the next combatants and nodded,then continued.
"And we have Goten and Ryaku up next!"
A large boy of about fifteen stalked on viciously in front of the tiny Goten who looked terrified.
"We have Ryaku here,a fifteen year old from North City and Goten from Mt.Pao!"
He flexed his muscles menacingly and stepped onto the ring.Goten just trotted on.
"Lets begin...3,2,1...GO!"the announcer yelled.
Ryaku bounded forward but Goten jumped and landed on his head,making Ryaku crash down.
"Ohh,thats a hit for Goten!"the announcer shouted.Ryaku stumbled to his feet looking angry and embarrased.
"Hey,runt,think you can make a fool of me?!"he called over."I'm coming for you!"
"I think its my turn!"Goten yelled back more confidently.He dashed forward and kicked Ryaku.He clutched his face in pain and tumbled down out of the ring.
"Thats another RINGOUT!"the announcer called.
Llec was watching Yamu intently as he held a lamp-like object with a display screen on it.Soon....
"Okay,now we have...lets see...Karron and Mikau!"
Mikau was a small girl with brown upturned hair.She smiled confindently at Karron,who did not smile back.
"Ready,little boy?"Mikau hissed.
"We have Mikau aged fourteen and Karron aged seven here in the ring!Lets DO IT!"
Mikau ran forward and punched.Karron dodged,jumped on her head and kicked her back into the ground.
Mikau lay motionless for a few seconds,then backflipped up and kicked Karron hard in the back.Karron smiled and his head turned round to Mikau who was gripped with fear and surprise.Karron grabbed her leg and effortlessly tossed her away.
She went flying into the edge,her head hanging off,but not touching the ground.
"A close shave for Mikau there!"the announcer called.
Mikau flipped herself over and stared determinedly into Karron's eyes.
Mikau charged and her head crashed headlong into Karron's stomach.She was thrown back onto the floor.
There was a tense silence.
"We're starting the ten second countdown!"the announcer yelled,motioning to an official."10...9...8..."
Mikau whimpered slightly.
"7...6...5..."
Mikau tried to get up,but Karron kicked her down.
"ARGHHH!"
The crowd went wild.
"Dirty!"The announcer shouted,then added,"Wait,wait!2...1...YES,KARRON IS THE WINNER!"
"Okay,that was a dirty match"the announcer said,watching Mikau being carried off on a stretcher,"But we must proceed!So,round four!Trunks versus Sien!"
A boy with a large stack of black hair,a long thin streak of it over one of his eyes marched into the ring.
"And..Go!"
Trunks folded his arms and closed his eyes,not scared in the slightest.The boy darted forward but Trunks held out his hand and let the boy's stomach hit it.The boy was thrown off the egde of the ring and another match was won.
"That's round four to Trunks!"
"I hope they dont think we're cheaters,I mean he is the sponsor's son"Bulma said worridly.
Lets see here,next we have...number's nine and ten...Chiaku versus Brika!"
The moment had come.Vegeta wooped with glee like Goku,and they turned to face each other.
"I wouldnt confide in that brat if my life depended on it!"Vegeta growled.
"At least my daughter has a life!"Goku said.
"Stop!Stop!"Krillin said,putting his hand in between,suddenly he became a punchbag,being thrown,or punched between.
Chi-Chi watched the ring."Oh no,poor Chiaku..."
"...capsule corperation...GO!"the announcer shouted.
They ran forward.Chiaku jumped and flipped sidways,avoiding Brika's energy ball.
The crowd gasped...Energy attacks...what?
It exploded against the very seats below Vegeta and Goku causing the wall to crumble.
Brika turned in anger to see Chiaku charging forward.She kicked Brika and sent her flying to the edge of the ring.Chiaku landed on Brika's stomach with one foot,then kicked her in the chin,sending her head back inches from the grass.She growled angrily and kicked Chiaku up into the air.She crashed down onto the ground.An aura of gold streaks spinning around Brika appeared.
"What...?"Goku mumured.
"haha!"Vegeta said."Wait...what is she doing?"
She clenched her fists,power surging around her,the gold streaks going up and down and around her in a pattern.
The gold streaks turned into one and an opaque pod of gold formed and then exploded,sending gold light everywhere.When the light died away the crowd erupted before the Z fighters had any time to realise what was going on.Then Vegeta noticed,and his mouth fell open.
"She...she did it..."
"Did what?"Goku asked.
"She's...she's a Super Saiyan!"he cried."BRIKA,WIN FOR ME!MAKE ME PROUD!"Vegeta called.She half-turned,smiling.
It was strange to see someone both so young and female to be a Super Saiyan.Her hair had become like Vegeta's was normally,except gold.
Her green eyes set upon Chiaku.Chiaku seemed to know the end was here.She took flight at top speed and headbutted into Brika's chest.
There was nothing.Brika looked down uncomftably,then grabbed Chiaku's head and threw her onto the floor.
"WOW THAT IS AN AMAZING FIGHT FOR THE LADIES!"the announcer called,"THIS LEVEL IS FIGHTING IS SOME OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME,I MUST SAY.GIVE THESE GIRLS A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!"He turned round,picked a hankercheif out of his pocket and wiped his sweating brow.
"Okay ladies and gentlemen,folks and folkesses,we welcome our last two fighters,number eleven and twelve..."he looked to see a girl with spiky green hair and a boy with long red hair.
"I'm too exhausted for introductions,so Siuci,Heika,take it away!"he yelled,and he propped himself on the ground.
The long red-haired boy,Siuci,dashed forward and jumped towards Heika.She dodged and Siuci smashed into the ground and rolled along it.
Heika ran for him,but he jumped up just in time.She was about to crash into the edge of the ring but she performed a backflip just in time and landed on top of Siuci,and he was down for the ten second count.
"Another quick match and Heika is the victor!"the announcer cried as Siuci and Heika exited.We now reach the Quarter finals!"the announcer cried."May we call back Goten and Roy!"
Roy and Goten came back,and to the Z team and some others the victor was instantly recognisable.
"And please,children,begin!"he shouted.The two children raced for each other and Goten held out his arms to meet with Roy's.Their hands met and each tried to squeeze the other's into nothing.After a few painful seconds Roy screamed out for his "mommy" and was disqualified because he gave up.By default Goten had won,leaving the next round for Karron versus Heika.
Karron and Heika faced each other either side of the ring,both looking set.
"I'll let you take the first move"Karron said confidently."Go on,I'll turn round for you"
He turned,less than inches away from the edge,and faced his father,and winked at everyone.
"So confident.Nothing like you eh now,Krillin?"Goku said.Krillin blushed.
"Yeah,yeah"he put his hand innocently on his head,"He's so unlike me"
Heika blasted forward,but Karron turned at the last moment,waved and watched her smashed into the half-crumbled wall.
"hahahahah!"Karron said.He flipped a few times for the crowd,then suddenly became still and silent,and the crowd copied.
Out of the rubble she burst,tears half down her face.Karron raced over and landed in front.
"Whats wrong?"
"How could I lose?I was so stupid..."she smashed the rubble with her fist,sending it flying in small pieces.
"Dont be hard on yourself"he offered his hand out to pull her up.The crowd was made "Awwww" and baby noises.The announcer seized the moment.
"I think little Karron has got himself a little girlfriend!What do you think,crowd?"he asked.
"Awwww!"they cooed.
Karron and Heika were standing in fighting pose.
"Well,you won Karron!We'll be coming back for round two soon!You got get ready and spend some time with your little lady!"the announcer said.And,hand-in-hand,they walked inside amidst the crowd's wildness.
"And may we recall Brika and Trunks,who by the most amazing coincidence's are brother and sister,and both the children of Bulma Breifs,the co-owner of our sponsors,capsule corperation!"
"I wish he hadnt said that"Bulma whispered,blushing and trying to hide herself from the crowd.
"Alright now its sibling rivalry with Trunks versus Brika,who will win?Its a difficult one...here goes..."
Brika and Trunks came on to frantic applause and cheering.
"3..."
"Hey Brika,go full on me and I'll give ya some tips"
"2..."
"If I go full,older brother,you wont see sunrise again"
"1..."
"We'll see"
"GO!"
They both blasted through the air.Just before collison,at the last moment,Trunks did a mid-air backflip and his boot caught Brika's face,and it sounded like he broke a few bones.He landed on her stomach,then skipped onto her head,jumped into the air and fired an energy attack down to here.It exploded on collison.
"hahah!hahaha!"he laughed,rising still higher.Suddenly his eyes widened.He stopped laughing,and instead looked up.Brika had her arms folded and was staring down at him.She punched his face twice,then fired a ball of energy at it.Then she created a clutch more energy balls and fired them down quickly.
"...EXPLOSIONS,FLYING,FIGHTING,THIS HAS EVERYHING..."she could hear the announcer reach the epitome of his speech,screeching down the microphone.She raced down and kicked Trunk's along the ring,so that he crashed off the ring and crashed into the wall just next to the entrance arch.
"AND THE WINNER IS BRIKA!MY OH MY THIS IS ONE FIGHT!IMAGINE THE ADULT'S DIVISION!NOW IT SEEMS WE'VE ALL GOT SOMETHING OUT OF THIS TOURNAMENT TODAY,SO LETS GIVE IT UP FOR THE PEOPLE WHO MADE OUR ENJOYMENT POSSIBLE!"
A standing ovation followed for the limping Trunk's and confident Brika.
"I'll get you"Trunks hissed,looking back at her before he went through the shadowy arch."Embarrasing me in front of dad..."
"And I think we have finally reached the semi-finals!We have only three combatants left now,and we seem to have run into a bit of difficulty!"the announcer cried."We will have a short break while we work out how to do this"
The announcer exited the stage and the crowd filled with chatter once more.
"Battle Royale,do you think?"Krillin asked.
"That would be cool"Goku said.
"We all know that my Brika will be the winner"Vegeta said confidently,as a hurt-in both pride and body-Trunks listened in.
The announcer came back after barely five minutes to crazed applause and announcer what they had in store for the crowd.
"Ahem"he said,clearing his throat,"On request of Brika,we have come to a compromise.We will be having a tag-team match with Karron and Goten on one side and Brika on the other"
"What?!"The crowd cried."booo!"
"That's my girl!"Vegeta shouted,"She'll beat everyone!"
"Yeah right!"Goku and Krillin called.
Piccolo looked at Llec,who was still watching Yamu and Spopovitch,who were at the far end of the stalls, their heads bent over something.Piccolo followed his eyes to the figures.How were they connected...?
The three fighters came into the ring.Karron,wearing his father's orange fighting clothes tied off by blue cloth,like a less elegant one of the officials.Goten was wearing his father's famous training clothes but instead of orange and blue,orange and aqua.Brika was wearing aqua training robes,which looked too big for her and Goku was sure they contained training weights.
"Lets go,kids!!!"the announcer cried,and he dived off the stage.
"Karron,do you want to go first?"Goten asked.
"Sure"Karron said.He jumped onto the stage.
"Your no challenge!"Brika shouted."Where's Goten?"
"Your fighting me first"Karron told her,and the crowd,adding a sense of drama for some.
Karron dashed forward and kicked Brika,who did not think much of him and so did not anticipate the force that she encountered.Brika was thrown onto the floor and slid along it,but managed to flip forward but she was thrown out of the ring.They stared each other off,until Brika disappeared and reappeared on top of Karron and released the weights from her clothes.They dropped but Karron managed to kick them away.
"What are you doi-"but Brika appeared in front of Karron and kicked him into the ground.
"Ow!"he called,scraping along the floor.
"Switch!Come on do it now!!"Goten called,shoving his hand into the ring.
"No"Karron spat.
"A proud one that one"Ox-King said.
"I remember training Goku and Krillin,and this guy is not like them"Kami said.
"You trained Goku and Krillin?"Dende asked,impressed.
"That he did"a voice said,"So did I"
"Huh?"Dende muttered,turning around.Dende was at the back of the group,and only he heard the man.
"Jackie Chun's the name"the man said.
"Oh.."Dende whispered in awe.
"World Martial Art Champion"
"Sir!"Dende called,turning fully round."I'm speechless"
"I could tell you my tale"
"That would be cool!"
Karron dashed forward and punched Brika and then kicked to the side,but Brika grabbed the foot and threw it back.Karron lashed out with the back of his arm and Brika crashed into the floor.He appeared above Brika and held his hand together and blasted down.
"No Ki blasts!"Piccolo shouted,making a terrible blunder.The crowd stared at him in amazment,and so did Llec, Yamu and Spopovitch.
But Karron continued,blasting Brika's face and stomach,but she jumped up and headbutted Karron very hard.Blood was flying slightly,and Karron smashed into the ground.He stood weakly,turned to Goten and said,"Your up",before crashing into the grass.
Goten put one foot onto the stage.He had an advantage;Karron had done quite alot of damage.
"Onto the ring,now son"the announcer whispered,but unfortuneately did it to the microphone so everyone heard anyway."You've made the final"
"Oh"Goten mumured.He trotted forward to face his greastest challenge yet.
"3...2..."the announcer whispered tensely.
Goten took his position,staring nervously around the crowd.
"...1...GO!"
Brika charged.She drove her knee into Goten's chin,making a blinding uppercut.Goten was confused.He fell but was caught before he fell out by Brika,and the crowd went insane at this.She instead punched him forward so he smashed into the ring floor.
"She shows and act of kindness for Goten..."the announcer whispered.Goten got up but was kicked from both sides and turned to be kicked harshly in the stomach.He fell forward onto his knee's,then the ring floor.
"YES!"Vegeta yelled.
"Its not over yet!"Goku shouted back.
"He has 10 seconds...9....8...7...6..."
"Get up,Goten!"Gohan called.
Gohan struggled.
"5...4...3..."
"2..."
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"Goten yelled.The crowd wooped furiously as Goten jumped to his feet,a golden aura exploding around him.
"...1!No,he's on his feet!I dont believe it!"the announcer lost his hushed suspense in favour of wild yelling.
"Do it Gohan..."Karron whispered,half-standing up and leaning on the edge of the ring,"Do it!"
He dashed forward and punched but Brika's fist met his and there was a crunch.
Brika disappeared and reappeared behind him and kicked him forward into the ground.He skid along the ring by his chin,and then was kicked back into the other side,unconcious.Karron's beaten face fell on him.
"Oh no!"he cried.He pushed his hand down and clambered onto the stage.Brika was grinning confidently as the heavily beaten Karron dashed forward,but was easily kicked away by Brika.He was thrown back and crashed into Goten,and the unconcious bodies slid off the edge.
"Ringout!Ringout,and lights out for the Children's Tournament!But I must say this has been one amazing thing!And we can only marvel at what the adult tournament may be like,as I have said before!Now Brika,time for your prize,a fight with the champ himself!"
"What a prize..."Krillin muttered sarcastically,"I'd pay money for that NOT to happen..."

Satan was in his private chamber,a fantastic north veiw of the tournament,with his fourteen-year-old daughter,Piaz and his wife and manager, Piza.When he saw the final kid's match he exited the room to vomit;he would have to fight the champion.He knew that they were related to the people at the Cell Games.He remembered Vegeta at the sponsorship meeting...

Gohan looked at Videl as the machine was loaded into place.
"We're not really boyfriend and girlfriend,are we?"Gohan asked.
"No..."Videl replied,looking up at him.
"But it would be good if we were,wouldnt it?"
"What are you saying?"Videl asked,holding back a smile.
"I like you,Videl"he said."Alot"
"The machine is back up"Kasama said,pushing between them.
Videl looked angrily at her,but they had to move forward and be tested.

Mr.Satan,the champion and saviour of the world himself from the Cell Games seven years ago,emerged from a entrance opposite the training room entrance out into the ring,to wild applause.
"Yeah!Hehe!"he shouted,showing his peace sign and shaking his arms.
"Mr.Satan,this is your challenger for today!"the announcer cried happily,"How are you feeling?"
"Amazing,Johnny"Satan said,making up the name as he went.
Satan stepped onto the ring to face Brika,who was quite unlike herself and looked a bit lost of what to expect.
"She gets to meet Hercule!"Trunks whispered in awe.
"Not only that,she gets to fight him!"Chiaku said.
The crowd was cheering wildly.The moment had come for them to see Hercule in action again.
"Lets begin!"the announcer cried,stepping down and pulling out his hankercheif to wipe the sweat-ridden face.
"Now,come on little girl,I'll let you make the first move"
The bewildered Brika stepped back and then charged forward and kicked Hercule across the cheek.
There was silence,as the crowd watched expectantly,then Hercule's jaw lit with red-hot pain and the champ was thrown into the ring floor and slid right off into the grass strips round the edges and into the white walls between the seats and the grass with an almighty slam.
"Uh...uuhh..."the announcer whimpered along with the crowd.After a few seconds Satan jumped up,smiling,ignoring the blinding pain and shouted.
"Its okay folks,didnt want to make the girl feel bad!"
The crowd sighed with relief, and then "Awww"-ed.What a nice champion they had...
