Mina and Bulma got home just as Trunks was coming out of the gravity room. Vegeta was home too and raiding the refrigerator. "Where's my dinner woman?" he asked in an annoyed tone. "Oh hush, I had to take Mina to the doctor," said Bulma. "What's wrong with you girl?" he asked rudely. "Are you okay Mina?" asked Trunks in a worried tone. "I'm fine Trunks, I couldn't be better," she smiled brightly. "Then why did you go to the doctor?" he questioned. "Well, I haven't been feeling well in the mornings for the past week, so your mom took me to the doctor, and he confirmed that I am pregnant!" she exclaimed with a glowing smile as she jumped into his arms. Trunks eyes widened and he blinked in amazement. "And twins too," chimed Bulma. "Twins! Wow! Me a father?!" he exclaimed with a beaming smile. Trunks twirled her around and kissed her lips softly. "You'll still train me right?" she asked. "Mina, you know that you can't in your condition," he said. Mina pouted. "Well, okay, I won't compete in the tournament this time, but next time I will be, so you're going to train me, right?"
she asked. "Yeah, course," he replied. 'Man she is really persistent about training,' he thought. 'I heard that love,' she replied into his thoughts. 'Oops, I forgot that she can hear my thoughts, damn,' he thought. 'Trunks!' she yelled back in his head. 'Sorry,' he replied defeated.

Mina told Videl about the twins, so Videl took a day off from training to go baby shopping with Mina. They left the guys to spar and prepare for the World Tournament. Even though Vegeta insisted that there was no point in any of them training since he was already claiming victory.

The day of the first World Tournament in twenty years finally arrived. Everyone prepared and dressed in their fighting gear. Goku wore his traditional orange gi, and Gohan wore one that looked much like Piccolo's, minus the cape. Vegeta wore the blue spandex suit without the armor, and Trunks wore a black gi that was similar to Gohan's as well. They all piled into Bulma's air jet and took off towards the Ocean Island that was hosting the tournament. "This thing moves like a snail! Can't it go any faster?!" ranted Vegeta. Bulma sighed "Vegeta will you please pipe down." she ordered. All she got in response, as usual, was a "humph".

They arrived at the tournament sight, and exited the air ship. They proceeded to the desk to register. "Name please," asked a short pudgy man in a yellow robe. Krillin walked up first followed by Tien, Yamcha, Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Videl, Trunks, and finally Vegeta. "Okay, the adult tournament will follow the junior division," said the man. "Junior division?" asked Goku out of curiosity. "Yes, it's a new addition this year. Kids under the age of 15 compete separate from the adults now. It's for their own safety," he replied. Goku just shrugged his shoulders and followed the rest inside. They entered the locker room and put their gym bags in lockers. "Let's get some chow before the beginning of the tournament, I'm starving," said Goku. "Sounds good," replied Gohan. Piccolo just rolled his eyes. Watching the saiyans eat was a rather disgusting experience in his opinion. Gohan and Trunks had some manners due to their mother's upbringing, but Goku and Vegeta were a different story.

They went to the cafe that was especially for competitors and ordered their *first* round of food. Soon Trunks, Vegeta, Goku, and Gohan were stuffing their faces with spaghetti, egg rolls, chicken, rice, and meat. "Awe you sur you don't wan any of dis spaghetti?" Trunks asked Mina with his mouth full. Mina rolled her eyes. "Trunks don't talk with your mouth full, but sure I will have some, I am eating for three after all," she replied as she started eating away at the bowl of spaghetti. After another three rounds of food, the four eating machines sat back and rubbed their stomachs. "Wow! That was great, I'm stuffed," said Goku. The others nodded and agreed. They left the cafe to get ready for the adult tournament.

They arrived at the platform where the officials were getting ready to have the fighters draw their numbers.(AN: No punching machine is really necessary this time since the world is still recovering, and their is only 16 adult fighters). There they were met with a very nice surprise. "Hey Mina!" called Lita. "Lita?" asked Mina. Mina ran over to her and the rest of the scouts. "What are you guys doing here?" she asked. "Well we wanted to come visit, and Pluto told us about this martial arts tournament, so Amara and I are entering. How come you're not entering?" asked Lita. Mina blushed a little. "Well I was going to, but Trunks doesn't think it's a good idea in my condition," replied Mina. "Condition?" she asked. "I'm pregnant, I just found out a few days ago," told Mina. The other scouts squealed in delight while Darien gave Trunks a pat on the back. Trunks kissed Mina as she and the other scouts left with Bulma and ChiChi to go get seats in the stadium. Mina and the girls were gushing about the babies and talking about names as they waited for the tournament to start.

The announcer(yea, the same one from the series) stepped forward and began calling out the names of the competitors to come forward and draw their numbers. Soon, everyone had drawn his or her numbers and the first round was posted.

1:Krillin vs. Jewel. 2: Tien vs. Mighty Mask. 3: Piccolo vs. Gohan. 4: Lita vs. Pintaur. 5: Trunks vs. Yamcha. 6: Mr. Satan vs. Killa. 7: Amara vs. Videl. 8: Goku vs. Vegeta. Vegeta smirked. "Oh man, those two will blow up the stadium," Krillin said. "Oh well, at least they are the last one in this round so at least we'll all get a fight in," Yamcha said shrugging his shoulders.

Mr. Satan was laughing and holding up his fingers in a V, claiming victory. "Who is that goof ball?" asked Trunks laughing at his antics. "That's my dad," stated Videl. Trunks gulped. "Ah, he's your dad Videl? Gee, sorry," Trunks apologized. "It's okay Trunks, my dad's a funny guy," said Videl. At one time everyone had thought of her dad as the strongest man in the world. But he knew that he was no match for the androids and made sure he kept himself and Videl alive during those times. Her father may be a little crazy and eccentric, but over all he was a good guy.

The tournament was set to begin as the announcer began his commentary. "Hello ladies and gentlemen! Let's get right down to business with the first fight of the first round. The first battle is Krillin vs. Jewel. Krillin is a fighter we have all seen here before. He placed in the semi-finals last time only losing to Jackie Chun. And then there is Jewel who is one of Mr. Satan's best students," ranted the announcer. Needless to say the fight was rather anti-climatic. Krillin finished Jewel with a simple drop spin kick, which knocked him from his feet. Then Krillin finished him with a kick square in the back. Jewel sailed out of the ring and landed on the grass. "Jewel has landed out of the ring, Krillin is the winner!" called the announcer. Krillin calmly exited the ring and walked back with the others. Battle number 2 was ahead. Tien vs. Mighty Mask.

Tien & Mighty Mask entered the ring while the announcer gave their profiles. This was also a very short-lived battle. Tien wasted no time and quickly finished the masked fighter with a few swift punches in the gut. Mighty Mask doubled over and was unable to get back up and battle. The announcer counted down from 10. "Mighty Mask has failed to get back up after the countdown, that means Tien is the winner!" called the announcer.

AN: Well there ya have it readers! The World Tournament has been revived after 20 years and it is under way! In part 13 the battles rage on! Battle number 3 is up and it is Gohan vs. Piccolo! student vs. teacher! Please R&R!
