47 Child’s Play (2/2)
The giant display screen read: Congratulations chosen warriorsGohan, Jewel, Kakarot, Kibito, Killa, Krillin, Mr. Satan, Piccolo, Reiss, Shin, Spopovich, Tien, Vegeta, Videl, Yamcha, Yamu. Please proceed to the waiting room.
”Father!” Reiss was surprised to see Raditz already in the waiting room. ”What are you doing in here, I didn't see your name listed.”
”I will fight the winner as a special reward.” Raditz looked at the other fighters as they entered.
He was making sure Spopovich and Yamu were participating. He didn't know if Majin Buu would be an issue or not, but if Yamu and Spopovich were here with big ”M's” on their foreheads, it meant time was mostly on track.
”I think there is something up about that guy.” Piccolo whispered to Raditz. He nodded in the direction of the fighters named Shin and Kibito.
”Good eye, as always.” Raditz praised Piccolo for noticing the Kaio. ”But they aren't the real problem, and if they become a problem, I'll handle it.”
Piccolo accepted Raditz's opinion on the subject wondering what the real problem was. The fighters rested in the waiting room while the junior division for the tournament got under way. It goes without saying, Eschalot and Goten were upset about being made to compete against children.
The junior division moved along quicker than everyone expected. Even though many children were trained in the basics of martial arts, they had never competed before. Their lack of experience caused them to make mistakes that more experienced children could capitalize on and end the battle quickly. To top it off, the tournament organizers never in a million years would have thought monsters like Eschalot and Goten would appear. Their matches would be over in less than a second each time they stepped into the ring.
The final match of the junior division saw Eschalot and Goten facing off in the ring. The children looked happier than they did in their previous fights. The shaded tournament announcer could tell this fight would be memorable. Even if he didn't have the registration information, he could tell by Goten's appearance that he was Kakarot's son.
”I hope you are ready to lose again, Goten.” Eschalot confidently declared.
”Not this time, I've been training with my brother.” Goten countered. ”This time you're gonna lose.”
”Hoh hoh, ladies and gentlemen it seems our two young competitors have a history!” the announcer shouted playfully.
”You sound confident.” Eschalot straightened her back. ”If you do a good job, I might let you become my disciple.”
”No, you become my disciple if you lose.” the small Kakarot look-alike said.
”N-no way. Plus, I wouldn't lose anyway!” the small blonde Saiyans cheeks turned pink. There is no way Goten should even think he could defeat her. She was older and always won in their past fights.
”Kakarot, your son is fool if he thinks he stands a chance.” Vegeta taunted the Saiyan. They were watching the fight on the displays in the fighter waiting room.
”I haven't seen him fight lately, but I'm sure Gohan did a good job training him.” Kakarot shrugged.
”I was away helping King Kai with a problem.”
”Too busy to train your son. Sounds like an excuse for his loss.” Vegeta smirked, ”After Eschalot wins, I'll be proven the superior parent, and then I can defeat you in the tournament proving I'm the superior fighter.”
The audience needed to rely on the high speed displays to keep track of the two children as they clashed around the arena. The recording drones used the latest technology, and they still had trouble capturing the images. Their seats vibrated from the force of the blows the children were attacking with. If it were not for the specialized protective glass, the audience would have had their snacks and hats blown off long ago.
”You did get stronger!” Eschalot was surprised by Goten's improvements. ”Ok then, let's go to the next level.”
Wind violently swirled around the arena as the children cried out, raising their Ki. After the bright flash, the audience could see the children had a golden glow around them. Not on that, but Goten's black hair had become golden and spiked up. Eschalot's already short blonde hair was also spiked. The eyes of both children became a blue green color.
Explosions rang out around the arena more violently than before as the children chased each other around the ring and through the air. Kakarot was greatly impressed by Goten's skills during the fight.
”They're Super Saiyans?”Kakarot asked his current rival.
”You didn't know?” Vegeta was amazed. ”Do you notice nothing about your children?”
”They pretty much take care of themselves, nobody said anything.” he countered look at his oldest son. ”Gohan, am I away too much?”
Shin was impressed by the level of energy the Earth had risen to since last he checked the planet. His enemies would be able to gathered the energy they required to resurrect Majin Buu much faster than anticipated. However, he now knew that there were mortals around that had enough power to assist him in his mission.
