You were in the Preliminaries match hearing the rules again as Piccolo appeared. 

(Y/N): Piccolo. 

Goku: Yeah, that's him alright. 

He just smirked and walked off. 

Tien: You got to be kidding me. Is that- 

(Y/N): Listen Tien, don't go bragging about this. 

Krillin: Hey, who was that guy? 

Yamcha: (Y/N), Goku, you both seemed to know him. 

(Y/N): Well- 

???: Excuse me. 

The mysterious girl approached Goku. 

???: Goku, it's ben so long! 

Goku: Huh? Who are you? 

???: WHAT?! WHO AM I?! WHY YOU! 

Goku was getting scared immediately. 

???: YOU IDIOT! WE DON'T SEE EACH OTHER FOR SIX WHOLE YEARS, AND YOU SAY THAT?! UGGGGGGGGGH! 

(Y/N): Hey Lady, I don't know who you are, but my Bro Goku never forgets his friends! So if he doesn't know you, the he do- 

???: SHUT UP! YOU STAY OUT OF IT! 

(Y/N): AGH! 

You got scared and backed off as she stormed off in a fit. 

(Y/N): Man, what's her problem? 

Krillin: WOWZA! SHE'S A LOOKER! 

(Y/N): Krillin, don't. 

Krillin: But seriously Goku, what was that?! You better have been training in heaven! 

Goku: What else would I be doing? 

(Y/N): Krillin, Goku has the IQ of a concrete block. I don't think he gets romance. 

Goku: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Man, I bet a bride is delicious! 

(Y/N): GOKU, A BRIDE ISN'T A- Nevermind. 

And so... 

You, Goku, Krillin, and Tien were moving through all of the battles in the preliminaries! Hell you ran into- 

King Champa: I have returned. 

(Y/N): King Champa? 

King Champa: I have been training very hard to best you, Son Goku. 

Goku: Oh, nice to see you King Champa! HAHAHAHAHA! 

King Champa: THIS TIME I WILL BE VICTORI- 

Goku easily too him down in one hit! 

(Y/N): HOLY SHIT! That was incredible! 

Goku: Sorry about that! 

But then... 

Chiaotzu: AAAAAAAAGH! 

Chiaotzu was knocked out hard. 

Tien: CHIAOTZU!!! 

Tien went over to his best friend to see if he was alright. 

(Y/N): How is he? 

Tien: He's still alive. WHO DID THIS?! YOU COWARD! SHOW YOURSELF! 

???: Hello Tien. 

Tao appeared. 

(Y/N): WHAT?! YOU'RE HERE?! NO! YOU'RE DEAD! WE BLEW YOU UP! 

Goku: Mercenary Tao?! 

Tien: WHAT?! YOU'RE ALIVE?! 

Tao: HA! Did you really think that the World's Greatest Assassin would die so easily? 

(Y/N): I mean, you got your ass handed to us when Goku was 12 years old. 

Tao: Yes, it's true, you blew me to pieces. But your old acquaintance brought me back! 

(Y/N): Old a- DEATH KNIGHT! 

Tao: Yes. You see, he offered me a spot in his Inner Circle, and well I simply agreed since my Brother happens to be involved too. 

(Y/N): GRR! Great! You and Shen are perfect with Death Knight! You're all a bunch of evil assholes! 

Judge: Uh ... could you please move? We need the next match t- 

Tao grabbed him by the neck. 

Tao: Quit yapping unless you want me to snap your neck. 

(Y/N): Hmph. He's still the same dick he was before. 

You still have never forgotten how he killed Bora when he tried to defend you, Goku, and the girls! 

Krillin: Uh ... who is that guy? 

Tao dropped the judge and walked off. 

(Y/N): Mercenary Tao. 

Goku: During our fights with the Red Ribbon Army, he was hired by them to eliminate us. 

(Y/N): Yeah. And he killed Upa's Dad too. 

Tien: He also was a mentor to Chiaotzu and I. 

Krillin: Then that means- 

Tien: Yes. Master Shen and Tao are brothers. 

(Y/N): I'll give them this. Those two do care about each other. Fitting that they're both so vile. 

Tien: I'm going to take him down! I won't let him get away with hurting my brother! 

(Y/N): You tell him, Tien! 

Later... 

You had beaten Yamcha in another fight, though he did show off a technique he learned! 

Yamcha: SPIRIT BALL! 

(Y/N): Hey! You know Blake's move! 

You dodged it over and over. 

Yamcha: COME ON! I- 

He hit you! 

Yamcha: YES! HOW DO YOU L- 

But then you took him down. 

(Y/N): Sorry Yamcha! 

Yamcha Owned Count: 62... 

Yamcha: DAMN IT! 

Then you saw that girl from before fighting. 

(Y/N): Hmm ... she looks a bit familiar. 

Yamcha: Yeah. Kind of. 

(Y/N): YAMCHA?! YOU'VE MET HER BEFORE?! 

Yamcha: Well ... No she can't be her. No way. 

Then you saw an old man fighting. 

(Y/N): Who's that guy? 

Soon... 

The Announcer appeared. 

Announcer: I thought you guys would be here! 

(Y/N): MR. ANNOUNCER! 

Announcer: AGH! PLEASE DON'T HAUNT ME! 

(Y/N): Woah! What's wrong? 

Announcer: WHY IS KRILLIN ALIVE?! I SAW HIM DIE! 

Krillin: Oh brother. Do we have to explain this? 

You told the Announcer everything. 

Announcer: Whew. I see. Alright, time to draw lots. 

You, Goku, Krillin, Tien, Tao, the girl, Piccolo, and the old man had made it to the finals. 

And Tien would go against Tao, Goku against the girl, Krillin against Piccolo, and you against the Old Man! 

Soon... 

You all met up with the others. 

Ruby: Congrats you guys! 

Roshi: I expect no less. 

Blake: Except for Yamcha. 

Yamcha: You know I can hear everything you guys are saying. 

Yamcha Owned Count: 63... 

Krillin: Well, Shen's younger brother Tao is here too. 

Ruby: TAO?! MERCENARY TAO?! 

Weiss: But he's dead, we killed him! 

Yang: How the hell did he survive a freaking explosion?! 

(Y/N): Because Death Knight. 

Ruby: OF COURSE! He must have recruited Tao because of his skills. 

Roshi: Hmph. Old Crane's brother huh? 

Yang: Personally I still can't believe that Tien and Chiaotzu were associated with those dicks. 

Goku: Oh it's no big deal though. Tien can win. 

(Y/N): True, Tien is very strong. 

???: Oh I can not let that statement slide. 

Shen appeared. 

(Y/N): Shen. 

Shen: Let me give you a piece of advice, you ought to run before you Turtle School Bumblers are all cooked in your shells. 

Roshi: Listen here, Shen. Let me tell you straight right now, Tien was never in the Turtle Hermit School, and the others have left. They have all surpassed me and are blazing in their own trails as martial artists! 

Shen: Oh is that so? Then why are you all wearing the uniforms? 

(Y/N): Because Master Roshi is our master! 

Ruby: Yeah! We keep them because he's an amazing man unlike you, you big jerk! 

Shen: I suggest you treasure your relationship while you can. As a cyborg, my brother is even stronger than he was before! It would be nice for you if Tien or any of you had the slightest chance of winning. 

He walked off while laughing. 

Bulma: UGH! He makes me sick! 

(Y/N): Well, let's get right to it then! 

Weiss: Good luck you guys! 

(Y/N): Thanks! 

Ruby: Well there are a lot of people here. 

Blake: (Sigh) Hang on. 

Blake tickled Launch's nose. 

Launch: BLAKE! WHAT ARE- AAAAAAAAAACHOOOOO! 

She turned into Blonde Launch! 

Launch: OUT OF THE WAY ASSHOLES! 

Launch pulled out an RPG! 

And the crowd moved so fast! 

Oolong: Where does she even keep that stuff? 

Puar: I don't even want to know. 

Ruby: Me either. 

Weiss: You know, we could have just had Oolong and Puar transform into thugs and handle that. 

Blake: I know, but they're not really ... strong. No offense. 

Puar: It's fine. 

Oolong: None taken. 

Meanwhile...

(Y/N): Wait, Yajirobe was attending? 

Krillin: Yeah. But it looks like he didn't come. 

(Y/N): Maybe he lost. Seriously, I can't believe you guys got to meet Korin. 

Krillin: Well, it was a long climb. 

Goku: Yep, I can't forget about that. 

(Y/N): I bet Yajirobe and Korin are doing great together. 

Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen! Thank you for waiting! The 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai is about to begin! For our first match, we have Mercenary Tao against the runner-up from last year, Tien Shinhan! 

(Y/N): Kick his ass, Tien! 

Tao: Hmph. Don't worry, I won't kill you right away, in fact I'll only half kill you. The same for your friends. Then I'll take my time with you after the tournament! 

Shen watched from the crowd. 

Shen: Crush him, Brother. 

Yang: TAKE HIM DOWN TIEN! 

Launch: FUCK HIM UP! 

Ruby: SHOW THAT JERK WHO'S BOSS! DO IT FOR CHIAOTZU! 

The two took their places. 

Announcer: Let the match begin! 

Tao: Ready to die? 

Tien: I'm not afraid of you anymore Tao. 

Tao charged at Tien, but Tien dodged instantly and struck Tao in the back of his head! 

(Y/N): YES! 

Tao fell down angrily and got back up. 

Shen: I DON'T BELIEVE THIS! 

Tao: GRR! So, you're a bit stronger than before. But this doesn't change anything! 

Tien: Tao, I won't forgive you for what you did to Chiaotzu, but, you can still let go of the past. 

Tao: HA! You expect those sentimental words to work on me? I have found a Goddess to serve, and thanks to her, I have been reborn! And now, with her help, I have become stronger. I will not waste this opportunity. Those brats destroyed my reputation! AND YOU, YOU TOOK EVERYTHING THAT WAS MY BROTHER'S! YOU RUINED HIM! AND NOW WE WILL HAVE OUR REVENGE! 

Tien: (Sigh) I'm sorry. 

Tien appeared behind him and hit him again! 

Tao: AAAAARGH! 

Tao continued to try and hit Tien, and while he managed to get a hit, Tien grabbed his fist! 

Shen: TAO! 

Tao: LET GO OF ME! 

Tien: Please understand. It was you and Master Shen who taught me how to fight. I don't want to embarrass you. 

But Tao removed his hand and out came a blade! 

Tao: GOT YOU! 

He sliced his chest! 

(Y/N): TIEN! 

Goku: AGH! 

Krillin: HOLY CRAP! 

Ruby: WHY THAT SNEAKY LITTLE! 

Announcer: FOUL! FOUL! The rules say you can't bring a weapon in- 

Tao: SHUT UP! 

Tao looked at the Announcer, and he cowerd. 

Tao: I'M GOING TO KILL HIM! 

You noticed him using- 

(Y/N): H-Haki?! 

Tao was using Armament Haki on his blade! 

Shen: YES! KILL HIM TAO! GET HIM! 

Tien: GRRR! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO CALL YOURSELF A MARTIAL ARTIST ANYMORE! 

Tao: Please, listen to how high and mighty you've become. Well, prepare yourself! 

He remove his other hand and it seemed to be- 

(Y/N): AN ARM CANNON?! 

Tao: Prepare yourself for the destructive power of the Super Dodon Ray! 

Ruby: OH NO! 

Blake: TIEN! 

Roshi: GET OUT OF THERE! 

Tien stood his ground. 

Tao: HAHAHAHAHA! Now it'll make no difference how you move! The Super Dodon Ray has a tracking device that will follow it's opponent to the grave! 

Tien: THEN DO YOUR WORST! 

Tao: SUPER DODN RAY! 

He fired a massive blast from his arm cannon right at Tien! 

(Y/N): TIEN! 

Shen: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! SERVES YOUR RIGHT TRAITOR! 

It didn't faze Tien at all. 

Tao: WHAT?! NO! THAT"S IMPOSSIBLE! YOU SHOULD BE DEAD! HO- 

Tien then knocked out Tao! 

Tao: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! 

He collapsed on the ground just like that. 

(Y/N): YES! GO TIEN! 

Ruby: GIVE ME A T! GIVE ME AN I! GIVE ME AN E! GIVE ME AN N! WHAT DOES THAT SPELL?! TIEN! TIEN! GO TIEN! 

Goku: Wow, he's amazing! In one hit he took down Tao! 

Tien then threw Tao to Shen. 

Shen: BROTHER! 

Tien: Take him, and never show yourselves to us again. 

Shen grabbed Tao and flew off. 

Shen: Ingrate! Your death will be painful, I assure you! 

Roshi: Hmph. It is you who will die painfully, Shen. 

Ruby: More Master Roshi, he and Shen used to be friends. Maybe Shen turned out like this after Mutaito lost his life sealing King Piccolo away. He had no one to turn to. Still, the way he treated both Tien and Chiaotzu was unforgivable. 

(Y/N): Tien, you've come a long way. I'm proud of you. 

Tien: (Y/N). 

(Y/N): Yeah? 

Tien: Thanks for being my friend. 

(Y/N): Heh, anytime. 

Goku was now going to be up against the girl! 

???: Goku! You're going to regret what you said! 

Goku: Seriously, who are you? 

???: If you beat me, I'll tell you!
