a few people in the stands. Shika and Neko looked up curiously. They recognized Bulma, Bra, Chichi, and Muten-Roshi, and Videl and Pan had also taken a seat with their friends The boys gave them the names of people they didn't know - Oolong, Pool, Yamcha, Kuririn, 18-18 and Marron. "Big circle of friends," said Shika, impressed."Yes," laughed Trunks, "and people claim that fighting makes you lonely!" - "Ladies and gentlemen! Dear martial arts friends!

Trunks! And Goku! Now a draw is made! "A box with the numbers was driven in. Shika was the first to be called. She drew the 10. "Let's see what happens!" She mumbled. Immediately afterwards it was Neko's turn. She got the 8th. Trunks had the first fight right away; Son-Goths the fifth. Vegeta stepped forward - and was number 7! "May not be true!", Neko cheered suppressed. "Now ... Beelzebub please!" Piccolo pulled - and was allowed to fight Trunks. Hooray. Goten faced Dominoes. Then Goku was called. He drew a ball and showed it ... "MAN!", Trunks and Goten rang out in unison. Son-Goku had the 9.He fought Shika! She didn't change a face when her opponent looked at her. But she was thievingly happy. Neko was happy. "We couldn't have scored better! There is a god! Uh ... of course there is one, silly me. But he has something good for me!" So Memory was Gohan's opponent. "Now the first fight will follow!" Shouted the announcer. "I may present the battle plan:

We can hope for an exciting semi-final! "A change had happened with Shika and Neko. They were now Saiyajin through and through, daughters of their people. They did not let out carefree laughter, they no longer joked with Trunks and Son-Goths. Their thoughts were only on their upcoming fight Son-Goku noticed it. He went to Shika. "A fight Saiyan against Saiyan. I'm already looking forward to it."Shika returned his gaze." Me too, Kakarott. Me too."




Trunks defeated Piccolo, but with some difficulty. Gohan had no problems with Memory, and Dominoes didn't give Goten much trouble either. "Now we come to the penultimate fight!" Shouted the announcer. "Vegeta versus Neko! The opponents in the ring, please!" Neko and Shika exchanged a look. Shika smiled. “Jia - hen!” (Saiyan: “Defeat him!”) Neko nodded. "Pac - o!" ("I will!")
