"All right ladies and gentlemen! It's time for our next fight! This third match is Son Gohan vs. Ma Junior!(Piccolo's fake name)." called the announcer Gohan and Piccolo walked out side by side. "I want a good fight kid, no holding back," said Piccolo. "Don't worry, you'll have a good fight." smirked Gohan. They both stepped into the ring. The announcer gave the signal and the two fighters blurred out of human sight. The crowd became baffled as they couldn't see the fight. Piccolo and Gohan exchanged hardening blows to each other's faces, stomachs, and chests. They took the fight into mid air and continued relentlessly punching. Piccolo caught Gohan off guard and punched him in the back, sending him crashing into the platform of the ring. Gohan quickly regained his senses and blasted into golden flames and blasted into the air. Gohan began to pummel Piccolo, but he wasn't done yet. Piccolo regained his balance on the ground and powered up for a blast. "Special Beam Canon!" he called as he fired the spiral beam at Gohan. Gohan crossed his arms over his chest and took the blast. His arms were singed, but he was unaffected. Gohan powered up to super saiyan 2 and prepared for his own blast. "Ka..me..ha..me..ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! called Gohan as he fired the powerful ki sphere at the Namekian. The blast hit Piccolo and exploded. The smoke cleared and revealed Piccolo laying flat on his back. Gohan landed beside him. Piccolo allowed the count down to be called. "Piccolo has failed to get back up, this makes Son Gohan the winner!" called the announcer. Gohan smirked and offered a hand to his long time friend and sensei. "Good fight kid," said Piccolo as he was pulled up. Gohan and Piccolo exited the ring side by side.

"Well folks, that was some fight! But now it's time to move onto the fourth match! "In this next match, we have Pintaur, who has competed once before. And then we have a newcomer calling herself Sailor Jupiter!" called the announcer. The two fighters faced each other in the ring. "Prepare to get a beatin' little girl. *idiotic laugh* Don't tink I go easy on u just cuz yur a girl! Prepare to lose!" taunted the large, red, pudgy person. Lita ignored him and sized up her opponent while he was busy running his mouth. The announcer gave the signal and the match began. Lita found the red guys punches to be fairly strong, but Lita was clearly faster and more agile. She dodged his punches and kicks. She finally took the offense and landed her own powerful punches. The red guy was very surprised, but continued to try and fight back. Lita decided to end this fight as her antenna extended from her tiara. "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" she called as she spun wildly and released the powerful oak attack. Pintaur was hit by the attack and was sent crashing into the wall. "Pintaur has been thrown from the ring, Sailor Jupiter is the winner!" called the announcer. The scouts cheered for their friend from the stand. "Trunks' battle is next!" said Mina excitedly. "Yea, it's really weird. My son fighting my first boyfriend," said Bulma. "You and Yamcha dated?" asked Mina. "Yep, but then we kind of drifted apart and I fell for Veggie," said Bulma. Mina smiled and remembered back to the first night that she had met Trunks. She was in love at first sight. She snapped out of her reverie just in time to see Yamcha and Trunks walking out to the ring. "Now we have a former competitor vs. the one who defeated the androids and saved us all!" called the announcer. Trunks groaned. "Hey kid, they love ya! It's okay to soak it up!" laughed Yamcha. "No thanks, I wished they'd just leave me alone." he replied exasperated. "Let match 5 begin! Yamcha vs. Trunks Briefs! Yamcha and Trunks faced off in classic stance. The fight erupted with punches and kicks. Yamcha was holding up against the power packed saiyan rather well. Yamcha decided to play on Trunks' inexperience and blurred behind him. He then proceeded to use a move that someone had used on him once. Yamcha blurred behind Trunks and grabbed a handful of his short, yet lank lilac hair. He pulled Trunks by the hair and hurled him towards the wall of the tournament ring. Trunks quickly stabled himself and shook his head. "Nice move Yamcha, you really caught me off guard there, but don't expect that to happen again," Trunks said with a Vegeta-like smirk. Yamcha smirked back as they both launched at each other again. Yamcha released a Kamehameha at Trunks and used his ki control to make the blast follow the demi-saiyan. Trunks dodged the blast. Trunks flew up in the air and powered up to super saiyan 1. He gathered his ki and fired it back at the Kamehameha wave. "Burning Attack!" he called. Trunks' attack ate Yamcha's and then descended upon Yamcha himself. It blasted Yamcha out of the ring and onto the ground. Trunks landed and let his hair return to its normal shade of purple. He went and helped Yamcha up and shook his hand. "Wow kid, you're going to have to teach me that one," said Yamcha. "Sure," replied Trunks as he and Yamcha exited the ring. "Yamcha was knocked out of the ring, Trunks is the winner!" called the announcer

"All right people, now it's time for match number 6. It's the former world champion Mr. Satan vs. one of his top students, Killa!" called the announcer. This was a rather boring battle because it lacked, well, fighting. But Mr. Satan was the victor of this battle. He wasn't strong compared to the Z fighters, but for having no ki he was fairly strong for a normal human. "Mr. Satan has defeated Killa, and will move onto the next round.

"Match number 7 is here folks, and we have Mr. Satan's very own daughter Videl up against a newcomer calling herself Sailor Uranus. Cheers came from the sailors in the crowd. Amara and Videl faced each other. The fight began and each girl found that the other was very good. Videl relentlessly punched at Amara, while she managed to match the girl's furious attacks. Amara didn't like to admit it, but the people in this dimension were good fighters, probably even better than they were. Amara didn't count herself out yet as she powered up for her ultimate attack. "Uranus World Shaking!" she called. She hurled the huge sphere of energy at Videl hitting her head on. Videl was heading for the wall and struggled to get out from under the blast. She managed to move out of the way just before the blast crashed into the wall. Videl floated back into the ring and decided to power up an attack that Gohan had taught her. "Masenko... Ha!" she called. Amara was hit in the gut with the blast. It pushed her to the edge of the ring. Amara tried to keep herself from falling out of the ring, but the attack proved to be too much as it succeeded in pushing her from the ring. "Sailor Uranus has fallen out of the ring, Videl is the winner!" called the announcer. Videl helped Amara up and they both walked away from the ring.

"Now ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the final match of this round. After this round new matches will be assigned and round two of the World Martial Arts Tournament will begin. For this final match we have a tournament favorite returning and a powerful newcomer. Son Goku vs. Vegeta!" called the announcer

"Prepare yourself for defeat Kakarot!" smirked Vegeta. "We'll see Vegeta," replied Goku with an equal smirk. The announcer gave the signal and Vegeta and Goku blurred. They took to the air and began exchanging relentless blows. "Whoa, look at 'em!" exclaimed Krillin. "There just playing with each other right now, Vegeta and dad are going to go all out," replied Gohan with a knowing smile.

Suddenly Goku and Vegeta stopped in mid air. "That was a pretty good warm-up, now lets get to it," said Goku. Vegeta just smirked. Goku began to power up. His hair turned gold as he ascended to super saiyan, but his power kept rising. He soon was in level two, but the power up was not slowing. Goku's hair began to grow until it was down to his ankles, and his muscle mass increased greatly. Goku finished and waited as Vegeta began his power up. Vegeta powered up the same way and soon his hair was at his ankles as he had reached level three as well. And if the audience wasn't in awe already, they completely lost it when Goku and Vegeta's movements were too fast to be seen by the untrained eye. Goku and Vegeta remained air born as they fiercely attacked one another with everything they had. Gohan and Trunks watched their fathers with eyes glued to the sky. Goku and Vegeta began throwing ki blast at one another, each making contact, but none really doing any damage. Goku powered up for his signature Kamehameha wave, while Vegeta prepared his big bang attack. The two blasts clashed in blinding light and exploded canceling each other out. Goku and Vegeta stared each other down. They both were evenly matched. They contemplated their next moves before blurring again. Goku knew Vegeta's fighting style as well as Vegeta knew Goku's. The would each find the other's weak spots and attack. The battle raged on with hand to hand combat before they went back to ki attacks. Vegeta and Goku stood off, deciding that this was the blast that would decided the fate of their battle. Goku began powering up his signature attack along with the Kao Ken technique, which he still found to be quite helpful. Vegeta began powering up for his Final Flash attack. He didn't have the Kao Ken technique, but the Final Flash was nothing to shake a stick at. Goku fired his Kamehameha, while Vegeta released the huge final flash blast. The attacks met in mid air and began to battle each other for control. The blasts began to fluxuate. Both were utterly determined to beat the other. Goku, because he always fought a battle to his full potential, and Vegeta because of his vow to defeat Goku. He was no longer interested in killing him, but his desire to defeat him never faltered. He wished to bring back the pride to the saiyan throne. His son had already brought pride to his throne as prince when he defeated the last of the Cold family, and now Vegeta would bring back the pride to his throne as king of all saiyans. He would defeat Kakarot, the first super saiyan in a thousand years. Vegeta poured all his hopes, determination, and rage into his blast. Goku countered with his own but felt himself getting closer to the ground. Goku also poured his rage into the blast and pushed Vegeta's back. The blasts lost interest in each other and went after their real opponents. Goku and Vegeta were both hit head on with the other's blast. There were two explosions and smoke billowed from the stadium. The smoke began to clear. Both Goku and Vegeta lay on the ground. The only difference, Vegeta lay on the white platform of the ring, and Goku lay on the grass outside the ring. Both Vegeta and Goku sat and blinked as what had happened sunk in. 'He had done it, he had finally beat Kakarot. Some may call it luck, but Vegeta had beat Goku. Goku stood up and walked into the ring. He shook Vegeta's hand. "Congratulations Vegeta," smiled Goku with genuine admiration. Vegeta smiled back and followed Goku out of the ring, back to their speechless sons and friends. That's it ladies and gentlemen, Vegeta has defeated Goku, and now it's onto round two after a short intermission," said the announcer.

The others let what had just happened sink in before going to wait for the next matches to announced. "The remaining fighters are Krillin, Tien, Gohan, Sailor Jupiter, Trunks, Mr. Satan, Videl, and Vegeta. Round 2 the matches will be the following: 1: Videl vs. Lita. 2: Krillin vs. Tien. 3: Mr. Satan vs. Trunks 4: Vegeta vs. Gohan.
