The martial arts tournament


The year went by in a flash and not only for Piccolo and Gohan. Also Vegeta, who had trained Trunks, and Son Goku, who in turn had trained Son Goten. The children were less worried than their fathers (or their temporary tutors), on the contrary: They were really excited about the tournament. Especially Gohan, because he couldn't wait to see his parents and Son Goten again. Piccolo didn't hold it against him, but kept reproaching him for having to be more careful.


On the day the martial arts tournament was due to begin, everyone went to the stadium. But not only the families of the children, also Krulilin, Muten Roshi and Yamchu. Everyone was excited to see how the tournament would end. So the children were registered and the adults made their way to the stands. This year it seemed like few felt the need to take part in the tournament as there were only 8 participants.It wasn't long before the audience began to give their opinion. "Man, they are getting less and less!" said a young man in a sleeveless shirt. "Yes, and the price is getting more and more outrageous." then his girlfriend grumbled. "And look at that, we won't even get 8 decent fighters" yelled a man who was sitting in front of the two. "Really, who let the brats in here?" shouted the next. “Hopefully your mommies won't be angry when they end up scratching them off the floor!” The whole group laughed. Son Goku, Vegeta, Chi Chi and Bulma, who were all sitting within earshot, had to pull themselves together visibly. Krulilin took the whole thing much more loosely. "They should wait and see. When the boys have shown what they can do, they won't have such big mouths anymore!" Everyone around him nodded. Only Piccolo didn't care. He watched the children (again).


The draw began at the bottom of the ring. While everyone waited quietly in groups of two or three and only whispered every now and then, Trunks, Son Goten and Son Gohan ran around and played.That, in turn, got on most people's nerves. Piccolo too. He began to concentrate and then said to Gohan: `` What is the monkey theater doing? Better prepare for battle! Piccolo hadn't said the words out loud, only in his mind, but Gohan understood them. He heard them clearly in his head, looked into the audience, spotted Piccolo, and nodded. "Hey Son Gohan! It's your turn!" "I don't feel like it anymore, we can continue playing after the tournament." "Nagut." So Trunks and Son Goten agreed with him and they all three started, sometimes the participants in detail consider. There was a pretty fat guy, he was also quite tall, he himself would probably say it was all muscles, who seemed pretty complacent. As if weight and size mattered. Next to it was a rather skinny guy with narrow eyes that were narrowed to slits. He also didn't look like he wanted to leave the tournament a loser.(Which basically nobody wanted.) A few meters further stood three strange figures, all of them wrapped in black. They were of different sizes, their hair and eye color, as well as the face could not be recognized because the hood of the robe had been pulled low over the face. One of them went to the referee to draw a number. At the moment the chances were good that Trunks, Son Goten and Son Gohan wouldn't meet in the first round. It didn't take long for all the fighting couples to be determined. Trunks and Son Gohan were able to take on one of the taller characters dressed in black. Son Goten got the slender one with the slit eyes as a combat partner. So the fourth couple was left with the fat one and the smallest of the strange characters. The sequence of the fights was then: 1. Son Goten - "Schlitzauge", 2. Son Gohan - black figure (1), 3. "Fettwanzt" - black figure (2), 4. Trunks - black figure (3)





Has become a bit short, but what the heck. I have the feeling that the others were too long and nobody reads the paper ...
