(Kron-POV)
Fighting in a brawl, myself, Vegeta, Goku, Gohan and Piccolo fought a long-drawn-out war game against one another, being stronger than the rest of them, I made sure to push them to the best of their abilities, though it would get close when Piccolo begun using 'Kaio-Ken' himself. It would not do much in the short run for Piccolo, but the Saiyan's would improve by a good amount being my punching bags.
Intercepting Vegeta with a smirk, afterimaging behind him in a but a blink, I managed to use his momentum he was flying in against him, sending him sprawling into Gohan who was Vegeta's original target. Then, a rapid speed with Gohan barely able to keep up with, I entered melee range with the teen, and we began trading blows in a forceful, blitz-frenzy of kicks and punches, mine rapidly gaining the upper hand on him. Goku joined in, not to attack us both but seeing an opportunity for him to back up his own son, he used it, a kick aimed for my head was dodged in the nick of time as I bent down. Gohan had to flicker backwards from Goku's kick, I sensed Ki being rapidly charged to the brink and heard Vegeta's rumbling roar, as he blasted for me, his 'Final Flash' fully powered from where he stood inside a crater, the orb smashed into me, a quickened Ki-blast but considering I could have moved, I took it anyways.
The blast engulfed me, obscuring my vision briefly though I could sense Goku, Gohan and Vegeta reengaging within themselves, I felt that Piccolo was also powering up a move of his by his own rapid Ki. I gave a hoarse roar in turn, as my Ki erupted out from me and blew all the smoke, and the remaining explosion outwards, snuffing most of the explosions out with the winds generated. I surveyed my options, seeing who I wanted to bring low, to further push beyond their best. I chose to attack Piccolo now, him sensing my Ki fluctuating as I blasted forward in a blink, I also fired of a volley of Ki-blasts towards him, they homed in on him from all sides, hammering into his side while most that came to the front he slapped aside with relative ease. He roared, charging forward, left fist through and met my own fist, a shock wave blew from within the encapsulated gap between our fists, pushing me back but a little while pushing Piccolo backwards in a over-arching backflip, which he managed to use to control his descent. Piccolo quickly used the room created to use his 'Special Beam Cannon', his Ki already engulfing him from the start of our bout and all he had to do was raise but two fingers in preparation when I heard him yell.
"Heh, you're in range fool, take this, 'Special Beam Cannon' haaaaaaaaargghhh" the piercing beam of concentrated Ki fired towards me almost point blank, the sudden burst of Ki generated an overlapping gust of winds being pushed as the beam penetrated the air, firing towards me. The light flashed in my eyes when the beam connected, with my rushed blast, the 'Tyrant's Stance' had connected in turn with his own blast, the blasts canceled each other out though I felt the full brunt of the explosion which was generated from the detonation.
I felt that Vegeta decided to join myself and Piccolo, appearing within range of my back, a Ki-blast of yellow energy was thrust forward, exploding on contact, he sent a barrage of kicks and punches into my unprotected back before I could turn and intercept any further blows, this of course was with but a few seconds of free hits he gained on me but his ploy only managed to make me change my target unto him.
"Vegeta! We need to work together, if you want a chance-"
"-Save it Namekian, I-" I landed a gut-punt into his easily maneuvered defenses, his block over shot as I feinted a blow at his face, instead I got him in the stomach and made use of his force bent position to make his knocked-down head to land upon my shot-up knee. My other foot came up and sent him flying away, while I charged up a fast-formed blast to knock the wind out of him further-
-A beam of yellow exploded into my side, interrupting the blast I was concocting within my clenched hand intended for Vegeta, I sensed that Gohan had launched a powerful blast, possibly his 'Maskeno' and hearing Piccolo chuckle as he too, begun to gather up Ki in that familiar technique of his too. The blast only managed to interrupt me, but the blast afterward from Piccolo only added to my annoyance.
"Twenty-times Kame… …Hame… Haaaaaaaaaaaa!" I heard Goku yell now, his blast of blue-colored Ki came barraging through the dust that hadn't yet settle from both, fully blowing it outward, revealing my position as I took on the blast head-on, a minuscule amount being pushed backwards from the overflowing wave. I held on steady, though I noticed it continued to push me backwards a little, I jumped in power, now 'Super Saiyan Two' as they finally had pushed me to go to this much, which is good for them… good for me to let off some steam too.
Yelling out loudly in a roar, Ki surged outward from myself as the center-piece, blasting Vegeta who was about to engage me once more while the over-sized 'Kame Hame Wave' now begun to fight against not my hands directly, but the almost translucent Ki barrier that surged out of me. Once again, I found that Goku's blast was back upon my own hands, though now I could reasonably say it was a breeze holding this back one-handed. I kicked upwards with one foot and managed to change the trajectory of the blast a little above my head, sending my own quickly charged Ki-blast 'Royal Spear' into Goku's attack, I managed to push it out into space.
Sometime after, another hour of battling it out in a free for all, we all gathered except for Vegeta, who took off for his mobile home, his ship for which he uses to train in while the rest of us sat around, Piccolo sanding with arms crossed.
"Gohan will be entering the tournament called the 'Intergalactic Tournament' being hosted by X.S. Cash, according to Chichi, some big shot with money to spare and a good attitude. I will be going to watch, what about the rest of you?" Goku asked, sitting with a small amount of pain, a bruised eye and a dried blood trail coming down from his lower lip. Piccolo grunted, replying with a huff, preparing to take off.
"I'll be entering too, though more for mere interest in seeing where everyone else is at. Tien, Krillin and Yamcha, Yang, Raven… I have no interest in the prize." his face was bruised, though he was healing quicker than the rest of us. Gohan replied then, taking a squat and taking a handful of crushed rock grains into his hand.
"Mom insisted that we win for the cash prize. She got mad at dad for not joining, so I am joining, definitely. Kron, I heard from Bulma that Sixteen has been rebuilt… that true?" he turned to me, eyes searching my own for an answer. I nodded as I noticed his annoyance for me falter a little, replying slowly.
"Yeah, you can meet him if you like, your uncle Raditz has been training against Seventeen, as a favor to me, for saving that smug guy and his sister's lives. He should still be getting a beat down somewhere near west city on the outskirts. Just look for your uncle, Sixteen would welcome your visit I'm sure, though he does look a little different, you'll find him easily enough. Alright, I'll be going home. See you guys in a bit. Also, here." I pulled out my main Capsule I keep safely with me, throwing it, a case with more capsules were inside, pulling up the one labeled Healing, I threw that one.
"Here, these capsules have the new healing pods which Bulma reverse-engineered, using these should get you healed up quickly. Piccolo? Do you want one too?" he shook his head, speaking shortly while also rising up slowly into the air.
"No, I don't need it. I will see most of you later." he took off into the air fully, blasting to wherever he frequents. Goku turned to Gohan, speaking to his son.
"Come Gohan, thanks Kron. I'll try it out when we get home." I threw him one and recovered my capsules case to its original capsule, watching them two leave as well. I readied myself, intent in using my 'Instant Transmission' and arrived home in a blink, I don't know why Goku and Gohan didn't just go home like I did, Goku might have forgotten, or he was spending time with Gohan. Once home though, I got ready to go to the tournament to watch, I also had to plan when I would revive the west Kai for King Kai, per his request. That I would get done later after this tournament, after Bojack…
"Honey, I'm home." opening up the back door, I only seen Blake doing some mundane tasks inside, in the kitchen of all places, sensing that Weiss and Pyrrha were most likely on the other side of the large villa, training only for their bodies to keep in shape, not the intense training they, particularly Pyrrha, would be doing. But I can't complain, no way. That small smile from Blake when I announced myself was worth them doing their own thing whenever they wanted to, I'll just relax until we head to the tournament to 'watch', Pyrrha wanted to fight so she would be joining and we would cheer for her… that is, until Bojack arrives.
((Future) Trunks-POV)
Landing outside the tournament grounds, his hair tied in a ponytail in order to keep it out of his eyes, he looked around briefly, he then sensed for everyone who would be worth fighting, by the powers he could easily pickup arrayed in different areas, Trunks swelled with anticipation for the friendly battle to come. The island the tournament would take part was owned by some rich snob, who was offering a cash prize, something he didn't need of course, but the real thrill in joining was to test out his increased strength in a bout on friendly terms.
Trunks did try to go home upon the monster Cell's demise, but still, instead of heading back to his own timeline, he only went to the future of this one. That future he did go into was not in danger from what he seen but, he didn't go further than a year as a test for his time machine. For the moment, he was stuck here still, and it was better remaining in the now, where he was comfortable than going further into this future timeline, where everything would be even more confusing.
Shaking his head quickly in a little nod, he managed to spot Krillin, with Eighteen. She brought back memories though not the good ones, but this Eighteen, dressed differently in a casual way, wearing shorts and sandals of all things, glasses on top of her head reminded Trunks that these androids didn't get corrupted fully from Dr. Gero for one reason or another, they are different than their counterparts of his timeline, for the better. His guarded look at seeing Eighteen look at him neutrally with a hint of curiosity, also seeing the other one, Seventeen with that same smirk though not malicious and last but not least, Krillin in his own orange Gi approaching him ended his intense staring at those two androids as he choked with words, when Krillin spoke up, glad to see him.
"Hey! Trunks, you're here too yeah, well the competition is looking that fiercer. I invited Eighteen on a date, but she insisted on joining in on the tournament, for the cash prize… heh, Seventeen invited himself-" Krillin grumbled good naturedly, when Seventeen chuckled, interrupting Krillin when he spoke.
"-Come now, I wanted to see what all the fuss is about. This better not be boring, though I heard Kron won't be fighting… I owe him a rematch sometime but since he didn't deign to enter-" Eighteen scoffed, eyes closed momentarily as she run her right hand through her hair for but a moment, a stray lock of hair pushed behind her ear as she retorted while speaking.
"-Yeah, yeah Seventeen, Trunks huh? I'm surprised you're still here. I take it by your subtle looks at me that you're not interested in getting into my pants huh? Krillin would certainly have 'competition. No, you're looking at me, and my brother like we killed your cat-" Krillin wrapped a hand around her mouth, his other around her waist as he hurriedly spoke up, looking Trunks in the eye with awkwardness.
"-Sorry Trunks, well, good luck and all but, I will be the one to win, hehe, catch you later." Krillin maneuvered himself and Eighteen well through the crowd, intent on entering the tournament no doubt while Seventeen followed after them, hands behind his head in a laid-back way while he met up with another, huge warrior... a warrior that Trunks had felt was someone he knew though he couldn't place it... They went after Krillin and Eighteen while Trunks decided to head to the other powers nearby, to see who they were before joining in and entering himself too.
"...Should be a good amount of fun to enter." Trunks said slowly, forcing a laugh as he approached the others position slowly.
(Gohan-POV)
Dad and him, along with mother arrived in an instant, with his dad using that technique of his, mother clung tightly to dad while they looked for a place to land.
"Gohan, you go on ahead, I'll be with your mom, good luck and have fun son." his mother added, clutching him in a hug, pulling back she said dramatically.
"Kick their bottoms, Gohan! Bring home the win!" she said, smiling for which Gohan awkwardly laughed, nodding. Taking in the crowds, he searched for the sign-up booths and guessing, headed to where a few familiar Ki signatures of his friends were gathered.
Quickly maneuvering his way over, through paved paths near to overlooking viewing platforms, he found Tien, Yamcha, Krillin who was with Seventeen, Eighteen and Sixteen though they had already gone through on their own having signed up just before he arrived, and Yang signing up for the fight, among a crowd of other fighters also signing up. They were somewhere in the middle, outnumbered by over one hundred potential fighters signing up and overwhelming the crews assigned to the booths.
"Hey guys!" he called out, not even intimidated by the many stares nearby to his friends, Krillin turned first, replying when he seen him, a small laugh came out of him.
"Gohan! Hey man, you're getting… bigger, with you here the competition is going to be interesting." Yamcha added while laughing awkwardly and Gohan had an idea as to why he did so, whether he was serious or not, remained to be seen. Yamcha stopped his awkward laughing, before he added with a slouch, defeatism now easily revealed making Gohan laugh awkwardly in turn.
"Oh, damn… this smart's, with him here too, my chance in winning-" Yang thumped him onto his spiked-up head as she said, amused.
"You are dreaming Yamcha, don't listen to him Gohan. I will be the one winning-" Tien interrupted her, sighing.
"Don't listen to her Gohan, it is going to be a good fight. I want to see your best out there. Oh look, Trunks has arrived, hey Trunks!" Tien waved him over while Gohan turned to glimpse Trunks from the future coming over at a slow pace. Some of the other fighters grumbled though Tien did allow them to pass them over in line while they waited for Trunks to link up with them.
"Hey guys, the competition is… well, they are on mass for it, a lot of competitors. I guess the 'real' tournament will begin after the warm-up. huh?" he empathized 'Warm-up' by glancing around at the crowd of other fighters, for which Yang snorted in agreement, Tien nodded with a glint in his eye and Krillin replied, a short burst of laughter before he did so.
"Man, your serious today. Well, save it for the ring, I will go easy on you. Be happy that Goku and Kron decided to sit this out. Vegeta too, from what I've heard is still training. For what reason, well… I guess there are 'two' reasons." Gohan nodded at Krillin's words, with 'Super Saiyan Two' in his belt, Kron having this ability too, Vegeta gauged his level of power against the both of them regularly, Kron more than Gohan. These days since Cell, Gohan kept one clone in his room for studying further in any and all fields that interested him, another clone on standby for helping his mother or spending time with Goten. He himself trained still, though not at the pace for which he suffered through within the hyperbolic time chamber. More lax, he did work hard with less of his strength from the two clones weakening him. Vegeta didn't like that he fought in a weakened state against the enigmatic and arrogant prince of the four full-blooded Saiyan's. No, he usually went after Kron, getting a beating in the process which while funny, he wouldn't laugh about for fear that Vegeta would find out and consequently, track him down for training instead.
They mingled for a half an hour, with Piccolo's arrival, Raven too for which she left her son with Bulma up in the crowd, his uncle Raditz came a little later by himself. Finally, the last people who he knew or knew of was Pyrrha and Winter who decided to join the tournament. He also seen Sixteen again as he and dad did see him and the other two androids briefly on the way home with uncle Raditz before coming here, not quite the same in appearance like Kron said, being rebuilt and all but all the same for his personality, he gave him a small nod and smile when their eyes met.
Signing in everyone took some time, this tournament was a stage for everyone competing to be put inside the arena, to challenge anyone within. The only rules were if you were knocked out or removed from the various battlegrounds atop the large cylinder dome-towers scattered in a circular formation, you would lose. You can give up, if you were knocked out, you lost. The brawl as it came down to, would end at the last four challengers for which they would fight against special opponents, who would be well rested and awaiting each of the four last challengers in different arenas within the massive complex.
It took time but now, Gohan was in his second element, withing the arena and waiting for the sounding order for all to begin fighting. A man, his voice echoed around the entire battlefield begun to ring out.
"Greetings all, welcome to the start of the Intergalactic tournament! Now, we've over one hundred fighters today, this tournament was funded by the generous X.S. Cash of the Cash family! Now without further ado, fighters… you may begin!" Gohan awaited as a large burly man with a beard came at him, easily side-stepping him and sending him into another man with a swift but controlled kick as to not hurt the man, Trunks was right… this would be no more than a warm-up, until the fights that would be worth to go at with more of his power would commence.
Gohan took out another five guys within the span of twenty minutes, merely using but a fraction of his power as he fought casually against these guys with no effort on his part, not even that as he danced around the multiple towered battlefields, battling with opponents. The others, he could see were having an easy amount of time as he was, not yet did they face one another. Thinning out the rest was paramount, to empty up the arenas for their coming fights, for they would be more brutal, not to mention dangerous for other competitors caught in the arena.
"Heh, you want to fight little man!" some guy with an earring, tanned skin and a top-head ponytail, a bulging belly came to stand in front of him, looking quite pleased from Gohan's size, that's… very much smaller than this heavy-set man. Gohan didn't reply, only giving the guy a smirk whilst he prepared to kick this one into the sea, to go call off.
