It was the day of the tournament, Sunset was wearing a dark blue velvet dress while Goku, Krillin and Roshi were wearing suits with fancy hats. They got on a small plane that took them and several other passengers to the island that held the Tenkaichi Budoukai. They arrived in a large resort city, hotels and shop selling souvenirs were quite common.

Shops that sold items unique to the area were also quite numerous. Roshi approached a taxi stand and it was not long before a taxi arrived, they manged to squeeze the four of the in the taxi. Roshi asked politely “Please take us to the Tenkaichi Budoukai?”

When they arrived Roshi paid the driver as they got out, Krillin and Goku looked at the various fighters that surrounded them as well as the mighty temple like structure that was the tournament grounds while Sunset just walked in front of them. Roshi walked up to the receptionist “I am entering these three in the tournament.”

The bald receptionist looked at Goku and Krillin in confusion “They are just children, are you sure.”

Goku frowned “I have been training since I was young.”

Roshi nodded “Yes I’m sure, they are quite strong I can assure you.” Roshi entered Sunset, Goku and Krillin into the tournament. Goku smirked “There a lot of strong fighters around here, this will be fun.”

A man called out to the crowd “We will now begin the preliminary matches! All participants please enter the Versus Hall.”

Sunset frowned “That way huh.”

Roshi nodded “Yes, that way.” They approached another man who smiled, wishing them all luck. Roshi pulled out a case full of their gis “We will have to part ways but first these are your combat gis. It would be easier to fight in these.”

After they got changed they entered the building, it was a simple wooden hall with a singular wooden stage in the centre. Krillin was fidgeting “Why am I even here, there are so many strong fighters.”

A familiar voice at least to Sunset and Goku pierced through the air. Bulma walked over to them, she was a lot more well muscled then she was before “You are not here to win, you are here to grow. This is a test of your progress, I doubt there is a single fighter here who could beat Goku or Sunset. Just do the best you can.”

An announcer stepped forward “According to registration there are one hundred and thirty-nine fighters from all across the world. The top eight will be allowed to fight in actual tournament. Now we begin the Tenkaichi Budoukai, which is held once every five years in order to determine the strongest master’s of the martial arts. Thank you all for coming.”

The announcer continued “Now for the rules, there is no killing and weapons are forbidden. All preliminary fights will only last a minute, a judge will decide a victor should time run out. If a fighter leaves the ring, is incapable of fighting or gives up they lose. Now you will all pick a number and that number will decide which block you are in, two fighters from each block will get into the main tournament.”

After everyone pulled out their number, Goku looked as his “I got seventy, what did you get mum?”

Sunset smiled “I got fifty five, block two.”

Bulma frowned “I got twenty two, I’m in block one. Yamcha is also in there somewhere, he entered also. I want to fight him in the first round of the main tournament, that day still haunts my Nightmares.”

Sunset frowned “You want to talk about it?”

Bulma shook her head “If I beat him then those Nightmares will go away, I’m sure!”

Krillin frowned “I got Ninety-Three, if I end fighting Goku I will lose.”

Goku laughed “You won’t fight me, looking at the board you will end up fighting someone else. I’m on the other side of block three.”

Another announcer shouted “It is time for the first round, number 69 vs number 70!”

A huge muscular man got onto the stage as did Goku, the man growled “What is this! There is no satis…” slammed into him with his palm sending the massive man flying out of the ring.

Goku sighed as the crowd was stunned “That was disappointing, I was expecting more from such a massive guy.” He rejoined Sunset, Krillin and Bulma matches were quickly wearing passing.

Two men approached with smirks on their faces, they grinned at Krillin “Oh! Is that you Krillin.

The shorter one smirked “He-heh, it really is."

Krillin looked down “Se...Senpai.”

The taller one looked down at him “Long time no see. The last time we saw you was when ran out of Oorin Temple crying, wasn’t it?”

Sunset frowned as she stepped forward “Save it for the ring. A true fighter should let their fists do the fighting, not their mouths.”

Bulma frowned “Who were those jerks anyway, they seemed to know Krillin?”

Krillin looked down “They were from Oorin temple where I first trained, they bullied me constantly while I was there. They are the two strongest marital artists at the temple.”

Goku grinned “Well now you get to show them just how far you have come, show them that you are not the same person who left the temple.”

Just then the announcer shouted “Number 93 vs Number 94!” Krillin got onto the stage only to see the taller of his two former bullies.

The tall bully grinned as he got on the stage “So, you are up against me huh! Well I will just how powerful I am!” He rushed at Krillin swinging a single punch, Krillin dodged to the side and delivered a mighty kick sending the bully flying out of the arena.

Krillin let out a sigh of relief as he stepped off the ring, Goku smirked “I told you you could do it. Why didn’t you believe me?”

Krillin took a deep breath “I didn’t think I could do it. Even after Roshi’s training, I didn’t think I was ready.”

Bulma giggled “Eight months ago I had never swung a punch before, now I am here anything is possible.”
