The ultimate tournament (part 1)












From Son-Goku Daimao


It was a clear day. The sun shone down from the sky and made everything shine. The water of the ocean rushed and spray splashed up on the cliffs. Wind scurried through the grass and empty streets. The whole island seemed to be asleep. It wasn't that big. But that makes it all the nicer. Like a small giant, it protruded from the gigantic sea and, despite its small size, looked threatening and yet peaceful.


A small beetle was crawling up a thick tree in vain when the Papaya Island suddenly turned into a noisy, noisy, busy, excited and hectic place.


The huge building complex in the middle of the island was filled with hardworking workers and was filled with loud shouts. It was very clear. A new tournament was imminent ............





Bulma stretched and rubbed her eyes sleepily. She didn't really want to get up, but she was too excited to go back to sleep. Today it finally happened. The day she had circled in red on her calendar had finally arrived. A smile crossed her face and she stretched again. With anticipation in her stomach, she turned to her bed companion, who was sleeping next to her like a tree.


"Hey, Vegeta, wake up.", She whispered sweetly in his ear, whereupon the stone mask of his face moved and a blink indicated that he was awake now.


He too stretched and yawned loudly before turning around and kissing his wife on the mouth. Her lips were soft and she smelled of lilacs. He loved that smell. And somehow he was in a damn good mood today. Because today was the big day, his big day. Today he would finally be able to do what he had dreamed of for so long.


"What do you think, should we let the little ones sleep?", asked Bulma and sat down on the edge of the bed and rummaged through her long, turquoise hair.


"I guess they're already awake when they were looking forward to today," he replied and sat up too.


After Bulma took off her nightgown, she took a shower. Meanwhile Vegeta was looking for a fresh combat suit from his closet, which was standing next to the bed. He also felt a slight rumble in his stomach and he had to grin because it was finally time.


He put the suit on the bed and then went into the bathroom, where a light cloud of mist breathed towards him. The whole bathroom was warm and the patter of the shower echoed through the room. Behind the shower door he could see Bulma's outline. She was just beautiful, he thought and smiled before he went to the sink and dipped his face into the soothing, cold water.


When he looked up again, Bulma had just come out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her waist.

Her long hair was wet on her shoulder and cleavage. Her deep blue eyes sparkled.


As she stood in front of the head-high mirror, Vegeta came from behind and put an arm around her stomach from behind. Then he put his head on her shoulder and smiled at her through the mirror. Bulma smiled back.


"I love you," he whispered in her ear and kissed her on the cheek.


"I love you too," she replied, turning her head to give him a kiss on the mouth.


Then Vegeta went into the shower and Bulma made up in front of the mirror. She dried herself off and covered herself with a cream that smelled of vanilla. Then she put on fresh underwear and found a suitable outfit for the day. She decided on a black skirt, a dark blue cropped shirt and a denim jacket.


When Vegeta came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her waist, she was brushing her hair.

Downstairs in the kitchen, to the amazement of their parents, Trunks and Bra had already set the table.


Everything was there. Jam, bread, coffee.


"Will you come again.", Trunks said a little annoyed and stuffed a whole ham sandwich into his mouth and swallowed it without chewing.


"What are you in such a hurry?" Asked Bulma, amused, while she and Vegeta sat down.


"Today is our big day. And if we are late because of you, there will be trouble.", Bra said and glared at them.


Vegeta and Bulma looked at each other and started laughing.


Trunks and his sister watched their parents in confusion, then shrugged their shoulders almost simultaneously and continued to shovel their food in.


After breakfast, the two children ran upstairs and changed, while Bulma washed the dishes and Vegeta got the glider ready to go.


When Bra and Trunks came back down, they were both wrapped in short shorts and sleeveless shirts and stepped into the back of the glider with eyes glittering with joy.

"Mum, where are you?" Bra shouted into the house, sliding impatiently on her bottom.


"I'm coming on.", Bulma called back and sat down next to Vegeta, who was behind the wheel.


"Everyone ready?" Asked Vegeta, looking in the rearview mirror at his children.


"Ready, sir!" Both hooted at the same time and greeted like an officer.


Vegeta smiled and drove off .......






ChiChi was standing in her bathroom and was drying her shoulder-length black hair when a few tears rolled down her cheeks again. Tears of joy. Today was the day. Today she would see her beloved husband again, whom she missed so much. I had longed for him all these years and now in a few hours he would be standing in front of her and hug her in his arms.


She wiped the tears away with the towel and then smiled happily in the mirror.


This time there was a lot of time in the bathroom and when she went downstairs to the kitchen, Gohan and Goten caught their breath for a brief moment.

They hardly recognized their mother. She had tied her hair in a ponytail and left and right of her face a long, curving strand hung down on her shoulders. Her dark blue gi, with the gold colored dragon on it, shone like a diamond and her smile lit up her whole face.


"Good morning," she said and helped her two sons to set the breakfast table.


Even Gohan and Goten couldn't hide their anticipation of seeing their father again, although Goten looked a little suspicious of the whole thing. He had never seen his father before.


They wore their usual battle suits, Gohan the dark one from Piccolo and Son-Goten the oranges.


When they were eating, ChiChi suddenly began to tell something that made her two sons look up from their bread.


"As you know, today is a great day. We will finally see our Son Goku again." Her eyes sparkled, "But we must not forget that we are also going there because our money is running out.The prize money that your father saved for us has been almost completely used up and that's why I decided to take part in the tournament. "


"What?" Asked Gohan and Goten as one.


"Now don't pretend I'm an old and rickety box. I'll show the others already.", She said and victoriously held up her chopsticks.


Gohan and Goten just looked a little ashamed at the floor and continued to eat.


When the three were doing the dishes, the horn sounded from outside and the three noticed with joy that it was the beef devil who was waiting outside with his glider.


ChiChi sat down next to her father and the two brothers took a seat in the back.


"Son-Goku, we're coming!", ChiChi shouted and pressed the gas pedal, whereupon the glider thundered away and left a cloud of dust ......






There was a lot of hustle and bustle on Papaya Island. After the complete destruction of Piccolo during the 23.Tenkaichi Budoukais has been completely rebuilt. In contrast to before, the island was no longer a city, but just a gigantic arena complex stretched over it.


In the center of this complex was a huge stadium, about ten times the size of the old one.


Around it were a few lounges and a total of 16 preliminary round halls.


In these halls, the 16 participants in the round of 16 would be determined, because the tournament rules had changed something.


Hotels, restaurants and a few small fairs were located outside the arena complex so that the fighters and spectators were well accommodated during the breaks and otherwise. For general safety, there were always around a hundred ships waiting to bring everyone to safety in an emergency, if someone in Piccolomanier wanted to flatten the whole island.


The sky around the island was full of planes and planes and the surrounding sea was also littered with small boats and luxury liners.

One of these gliders was Bulma and Vegeta's.


They flew to the agreed meeting point, a piece of grass where the old fighting ring used to be.


From a distance Bulma could already see that they weren't the first.


Vegeta slowly landed the glider next to the large jumbo glider on whose side a large KAME was emblazoned.


They were immediately greeted by the others. As usual, Muten Roshi wore a black tailcoat, hat and sunglasses, as well as his gristly cane. Lunch stood next to him and was in her blue phase. She had tied a red scarf around her hair and was wearing a lilac-colored dress.


Ms. Tortoise, Pool and Oolong had gathered in a small group and Kurirn, C18 and the little Maaron were sitting in the grass.


Kuririn had changed her a lot. He hadn't exactly grown any taller, but his head wasn't bald anymore. He actually had hair. Whether that made him look better, however, was questionable.

18 was wearing her usual outfit and little Maaron was wearing a pink dress.


Vegeta stood at a single tree, ad he didn't want to talk to the rest of the pack, as it was fondly called. Bulma started a conversation with C18 and Lunch and Trunks and Bra played a little with Maaron.


"Do you really think it will come?",
