Basic Love
Chapter 5 : The Tournament
The night had come and gone in the Brief's household. Everyone started to get ready for the tournament before they went to bed. In the morning, the whole house was a mess. Goku had arrived early and had turned the kitchen into a pigsty. He just couldn't cook could he. Bra got up and got ready to meet everyone down on the living room like they had said and found Vegeta talking to Goku. Nobody got up this early around here but surely, it was all because of the tournament. She walked toward them but stopped as she heard them talking.
"Are you sure?" asked Vegeta.
"I'm sure, this is when it happens and well, if we participate we'll interfere."
"You haven't exactly told me what's supposed to happen."
"Don't worry, just watch it and enjoy it."
Bra knew they weren't going to say anymore and just walked in. Vegeta and Goku were sitting on the table with the whole kitchen a mess. Goku looked up and smiled.
"Hi Bra."
"Hello Goku, dad. What did you do to the kitchen?"
"Nothing." responded Goku. "I tried to cook something but..."
He didn't have to explain, Bra knew it too well. "I'll make something for you guys."
Goku smiled and thanked her. "I need a daughter like her."
"You have a granddaughter like me, only she doesn't live with you." She started to clean up the kitchen and make something for both of them at the same time.
Goten got up early this day to get prepared. Just as he got up and made his bed, he smelled a nice breakfast. "Good food." he started walking toward the kitchen but found Bra on the way with a spatula.
"Hi Sunset," he replied. "I need food."
"Did you get ready?" she asked.
"For what." he continued advancing but Bra got on the way.
"For the tournament you bonehead. After you have some decent clothes on and combed your hair, go down and eat all you like."
He groaned and went back to his room. "This is like having a Chi Chi in Capsule. I never get a break."
Bra got back to the kitchen to cook more for the three sayans that were coming down any minute.
"Where's mom?" she asked Vegeta.
"She's still in bed." he replied.
"Is she going to go to the tournament?"
"I don't know, she never misses it but..."
"Are you going to get in Bra?" asked Goku looking up from his food.
"Yes. I'm going to participate. I know all that are going to get in the semifinals but I don't know what will happen after that."
"Just do your best." said Goku going back to his food.
Then, Goten came running in and sat down expecting a plate. Bra turned and put it in front of him. He started to grouch it down not even bode ring to say thank you.
An hour later, it was time to get going to the island. Gohan and Videl had arrived just after Pan woke up. Surprisingly, Gohan didn't say anything to her or Trunks. Chi chi arrived later when it was time to go. She had prepared a really big lunch for all of them.
All the women except for Pan were in dresses and the men were all in sweatpants and t-shirts. Yamcha and Tien were going to meet them on the island with 18 and Krillin.
"Who's going to go on the jet." asked Bulma with high spirits despite of all that happened the day before.
"I will." said Bra.
"Anyone else will keep us company?" asked Bulma again.
"I'm going." replied Videl and "Sure." said Chi Chi.
"Ok everyone, let's go. We don't want to be late."
Everyone parted to their ways and left. Bra had with her a duffel bag and boarded the plane smiling.
An hour later, everyone was there going to the sign up booths. The only ones that signed up were Trunks, Goten and Pan.
They separated and went inside to their lockers to put their stuff in. They also had to get in line for the preliminaries. They knew they were going to get in but still, the soon they got that out of the way, the soon they could get out and get this going.
Bra started to walk toward the bathroom with the pretext that she had to go. There, she changed her dress and heels to a shirt and slacks. She put some tennis on and put her hair on a pony tail. She looked in the mirror and smiled.
"Let's have some fun."
She went to the sign up booth and signed on her name, went in and put her duffel bag on the locker.
"I wonder who I'll fight."
Outside in the stands...
Bulma looked around for Bra but couldn't find her anywhere. "Do you know where Sunset is?"
"I don't know. I think she needed to do something Bulma, don't worry. She can take care of herself." replied Goku looking down waiting for the kids to come out. It wouldn't be a fight but well, at least it was funny.
The junior tournament began as the test for the 16 finals.
They started to call people in the order they had signed up so, Bra had to wait a long time until it would be her turn. Pan, Trunks and Goten hadn't spotted her yet but that was her idea. They had also signed up late so, they had to wait some time like her.
The punching machine, was just like it had been the other years and all the numbers were really low. Only one man had gone over one-hundred. Finally, it was Pan's turn to punch it. They had always been told to not use their true powers but even if there was someone strong, they should put the number high.
Bra remembered the time her father told her about 18 hitting it with her finger and it going over 700. She also knew that her father destroyed it. She chuckled, *Dad never holded off his power.*
Every competitor knew of Pan being Satan's granddaughter and she had participated on other tournaments years back. Trunks was also known in those parts as being one of the strongest men in the world. He always got to the finals and lost to two men that this year weren't competing.
Pan walked toward it and hit it with the back of her hand. She did it slightly and it went to 170. She smiled and walked back to where Goten and Trunks where.
Next up was Trunks. Bra knew that he was going to score higher than anyone. He could never get less than anyone and even if he broke it like his father, he would. He walked toward it and hit it. She wouldn't call it hitting but that's what it seemed. It went over 200 and saw everyone gasp. The judges weren't faced like that at all. They had seen it before and knew that he was stronger than he appeared.
She saw him walk back and Pan nudged him. "Show off." she muttered and waited for them to call Goten's name.
He walked toward it mumbling something she couldn't make out. He moved before it and hit it harder than Trunks. The machine went up all the way to 258.
Some people murmured on how broken that machine was and if he got that much he should get over 500. The three were walking away to the exit when they heard the judge call a Sunset White. The three of them turned around and gaped as Bra walked toward the punching machine.
"I didn't know she fought." said Goten open-mouthed. "She looks fragile just like a doll."
"Remember that looks can be deceiving." reminded Pan walking back to her. "I want to know how much she gets."
Goten and Trunks stayed there waiting for her to come back. pan neared the crowd again and saw Bra contracting her knuckles. She went up to it with all the men's eyes on her. She stood right before it and hit it just like if she gave it all she had but as delicately as possible. She waited for the number to come up and smiled. *162, not bad. Not bad at all.*
Pan stood there gaping just like everyone else. Bra walked to her and smiled. "Am I the strong?"
Pan looked at her and smiled. "You're stronger than all the morons that are here."
"Thank you." she walked toward the guys smiling.
"You never said you could fight." said Goten still staring at her.
"You never asked." she answered and started moving to the exit with Pan.
"She is full of surprises." said Goten. "She's a genius, can fight better than most of the people here and she's gorgeous."
"She's gorgeous." asked Trunks. "Since when do you like one of my employees."
"Since she lives with us, was with me when I woke up and actually understood me."
"What do you really feel?" asked Trunks leading him to the exit.
"I'm not sure, I only know her for a day but she reminds me so much of Bra."
Trunks shook his head. *Goten never got over it.* They went after the girls.
"Who are the other 12 finals?" asked Bra.
"I don't know, they'll call us or something." replied Goten.
"What's there to do until we're called?" asked Bra.
"We could watch the junior division or stay here and eat." responded Pan.
"I want to stay." said Trunks. "It's boring out there. I just wonder what we'll do for a whole hour."
"How about we go see the island. There have to be a lot of things going on out there."
"I agree." Pan and Bra left to go outside. Before they went out the door, they looked to the two men and continued on their way.
"What are they going to do?" asked Bra skipping steps. "They'll get bore of doing absolutely nothing."
"They're guys, they like doing nothing."
"Oh yeah."
Everywhere they went, they saw people going into stores buying cameras and video cassettes. Mostly, everyone was going to the arena laughing and talking among their selves.
"Pan, are there any old buildings in this place?"
"I think so. I think this houses where built over 50 years ago and they have tours through it on the summer and closed on winter for repairs."
"We'll be walking around for the whole hour with all the things there is to do around here."
"I know. Every time I come, it's all boring until it's time for us to fight." Pan looked at her. "Speaking of fighting, where did you learn martial arts."
"Well, my father taught me. It's not important the strength you have with force like all those guys out there but, the strength you have within. Martial arts is not all about punches and kicks but by concentration and coordination."
"You know a lot about it. You should practice with us sometime."
"Thanks, I'll take you up on that." Bra stopped walking and sighted. "Here we are, the end of the island."
"I know, the good thing is, it's a beach. Let's relax a little before we get back."
Some time later...
"Where are they?" asked Trunks glancing at his watch. "We have to go inside to pick our numbers."
"Relax Trunks. They'll be back eventually." responded Goten yawning. "We should have gone with them. This was so boring."
"You could have but you..."
Trunks stopped as Goten signaled him to look behind him. He turned and found Pan and Bra laughing walking toward them.
"... and then, he turned and ran like there was no tomorrow."
Bra laughed as hard as she could to that. "That would have to be one of the most embarrassing things that happened to Trunks." She continued laughing as she saw his face.
"What were you telling her?" he asked as normal as he could.
"Just one of the most embarrassing things that have happened to you." Pan responded looking innocently.
"You told her about..."
"Yes."
"Oh Kami."
"It's not that bad Trunks, but, it was funny." Pan started to laugh just like Bra.
"What are you talking about?" asked Goten feeling out of place.
"You won't know or someone here will get really hurt." warned Trunks looking at Bra and Pan. "Understood."
"Like the threatening voice works Trunks." snorted Pan. "You're not that convincing to any of us remember?"
"Shut up."
"Don't you talk like that to me Trunks," warned Pan. "In the other hand, I can hurt you a lot."
"Oh goody, they're fighting." said Goten exited like a little kid to Bra.
"They don't fight often do they?" she asked.
"No. That's why it's not predictable. Anything can happen when they're at each other's throats."
They both turned their attention to Pan and Trunks who where about to jump at each other.
"Well, I'd like to see you try." responded Trunks taking a step forward.
"Be very careful Trunks, very careful if you have to fight me here. I'd have an excuse to wipe the floor with you."
"Bring it on."
"You will regret this Trunks." said Goten getting their attention. "I know what happens when she's mad with you. You won't like it and well from personal experience, Don't do it."
"Like I'm afraid of a little girl."
Pan gasped and Bra's mouth hit the pavement.
"Little girl." gasped Pan.
"Yes, little girl." he responded smiling at her face.
"I want so badly to rip your head off Trunks but I'll wait until the tournament starts. And, if I don't fight you, prepare for what I'm going to do with you in the Gravity Machine at home." with that said, she turned and walked toward the entrance of the 16 finalists.
"Now you've done it Trunks. She's out for your head." Goten shocked his head and walked after Pan. Bra followed him and Trunks went right after them.
They all said their names to enter and tried to find Pan. She was nowhere to be seen.
"You're dead Trunks."
"Nice reference Goten, I'm stronger than her remember."
"Maybe, but you've neglected your training so I wouldn't be surprised if she's near your power level. Also, she's pissed so that will make her stronger than she already is."
"Thanks for the confidence pal." grunted Trunks. "How do I get into this mess with her?"
"Because you're as stubborn as a mule."
"Nicely put." reflected Bra.
"Thanks." Goten smiled and continued to look for Pan.
"Excuse me people." interrupted the judge. "We'll start selecting balls now so everyone gather around."
Everyone walked toward him and waited for the names to be called.
"Will John Stuart come up." A man with long blond hair came up and selected a ball. He got it out and gave it to the judge. He got number 13.
The other helpers wrote it down and radioed it to the others outside.
"Next up is Gill Star." out of the crowd came out a slim woman with blond hair and green eyes. She had on tight jeans and a blue blouse.
"Gill is here." muttered Goten.
"Who's Gill?" asked Bra wanting in on her information.
"She used to be one of Trunks girl-friends. He broke up with her and let's just say that Pan can't see her within a 50 mile radius."
"Why." asked Bra surprised.
"Let's just say that Gill was persistent. I just hope that Pan doesn't get to fight her. Pan would kill her in a second."
"That bad."
"Worse. And with Trunks and her fighting, she's likely to do something she'll regret."
Gill went up and got a ball out. She was one of the girls that made it in. She looked at the number and got number seven.
She walked back and winked at Trunks who just shrugged and continued to look for Pan. Now he had another reason for finding her before she found Gill here.
"Sean Morr." called the judge. A bulky man walked up to him and reached for a ball. His was number 16. He was pretty confident that he could beat anyone here. His score was one of the highest in there.
"Allem Foser." Another pretty boy popped up and went for the next ball. He got number one out and smiled. He had been trained in one of the most prestige private GYMS of Mr. Satan and he had been the best student there. He scanned the crowd for pretty ladies and found Bra talking to Goten.
*A new girl to conquest.* He started for her but stopped as he saw Goten give him a dirty look. He had challenged Goten before in the last tournament and he had been beaten. *I'll get even with you Goten, just wait and see.*
"Jin Won." The next contestant was small but looked a lot like one of the masters of the arts. He had been the last one to win the past tournament. Trunks and Goten had to drop out for an emergency. His number was four.
"Sunset White." she was the first to be called of the four. She went up and reached for a ball. She looked at it and smiled. She had number eight so that meant she would fight Gill. Gill looked at her and also smiled not knowing who she was.
"That'll be easy." she murmured to herself as she stepped down.
And the other people were called. Goten had got number three which made him fight the champion of the last time. Trunks got number ten and he got to fight a man called Talon, who had been on the last tournament as well.
Pan had been almost the last one to be called and she appeared from the air. She was number 15 so she had to fight the big bulky man Sean. The other fights weren't that interesting. As they finished the whole thing, Pan and Bra walked out to the arena to wait for their turns.
"You're the last one to fight."
"I know, it'll give me time to cool down." Pan looked around for the other finalists and saw a familiar girl. "Do you know who that girl is?"
"I think so, I'm fighting her. She's Gill Star."
"Gill Star."
"I think so." Bra looked at her to see her reaction. Pan just smirked and glanced at her hand. There was her lone diamond in 14 carrot gold.
"What's wrong?" asked Bra not understanding her reaction. "Goten said that you were mad at her and your smirking."
"Let's just say that payback is sweet right. I know that you can beat her and the embarrassment will be too hard for her to bear. She thinks because her family is rich that she has everything in the world. But, I have one thing that she doesn't." she showed the ring to Bra and smirked further. "And, it is the other way around, she's the one that would like to kill me."
"Is this whole feuding thing because of Trunks?"
"You might say that."
"And what are you going to do?" asked Bra watching as the judge called the first fighters.
"I'm just going to wait until you beat her up until I actually talk to her."
"You're going to humiliate her."
"Sure, as I said, revenge is sweet although she's not going to have any."
They both watch as Allem went up to the arena and waved at the crowd. Both girls watched as Many girl cheered and waved back at him. The other guy was strong or at least he appeared to be. You could see all the muscles he had in his arms as he tried to look frightening to Allem.
Just then, it started. Allem just stood there waiting for the guy to come. Leander charged at him and drove a punch to his face but Allem blocked it. He smiled and did a double kick at his back. The double kick sent him straight out of the ring which of course disqualified him from the match. All the girls cheered at him and some blew kisses at him. He turned to Bra and winked at her. She raised an eyebrow in question and continued to talk to Pan as if nothing happened.
*Playing hard to get are we?" he smirked at that. *No girl has ever refused me and after I defeat Goten she'll see it my way.* He stepped down from the arena and returned inside to tend to his hair.
Next up was Goten's fight. He had to fight the last winner of the tournament. Goten came up to the arena and waited for Jin to join him. Goten knew this was going to be complicated.
Jin came up and bowed before he took in his position for the beginning. Goten launched at him with little force but Jin blocked it. They both began to throw punches and kicks at each other. Just as the time was about to give out. Goten powered up and knocked Jin out from behind. He fell on and the judge began to count to ten.
It was clear that Goten had won and his next fight would be against Allem. He walked down of the arena and went toward Pan and Bra.
"This is going to be so easy until I actually fight one of you." he sighted and sat down beside them. "Pan, what are you going to do about the whole Gill situation?"
"Nothing much, I don't get to fight her, Sunset does and I know that she can beat her."
"Well, how about you just let Trunks within walking distance before he has to run for it."
"What do you mean?" she asked looking for Trunks.
"I mean that Gill's glued to him and with you not there." he pointed to Trunks who had Gill hung up on his arm looking around for someone. "He's trying to see where you are to save him of her."
"He knows he can come here." she groaned. "That girl was always getting on my nerves."
Pan motioned to get up but Bra sat her down. "I'll go get him."
"Thanks. It's like his brain-dead to know I can't be mad at him for more than five seconds." she huffed and crossed her arms. Bra got up and walked toward them as the announcer announced the next fight.
She stopped behind them and touched Trunks shoulders. He turned around and Gill did as well.
"Oh, Sunset have you seen Pan?" he asked shrugging Gill's arm off. "I can't find her anywhere."
"You could try where Goten is. We've been there waiting for you guys until our fights." She motioned for Goten and Pan waved. "After I fight, it'll be your turn."
Trunks started to walk toward pan forgetting all about Gill standing there. "Why did you do that?"
"I don't know. I just thought that it would be better if I came to get Trunks and not his fiancée." she turned around and started to walk away. "Oh, and see you in the arena."
Bra walked away smiling at Gill. *That is one top b****. Never knows when to quit.* She sat down and waited for her match to come up.
"It's everything ok here?" she asked Goten.
"Sure. You're up next." he motioned for the arena where they were calling her name. Gill was walking toward it moving her hips having many of the male audience cheering for her. Bra smirked and walked right behind her.
"Here's a match with two very strong women. Let's see what happens here." announced the announcer.
Both girls stared at each other smirking. Gill launched herself to Bra and punched her on the cheek. Bra didn't even block it. She turned her head back to Gill and smiled. Some blood trickled down her mouth but she wiped it away.
"Is that all you've got." she said menacing. "Or is it that you're just warming up."
Gill couldn't believe it. She had given everything she could to that punch. She backed away scared. She only saw Bra smirk as she advanced.
"I thought so." Bra ran to her and punched her in the same fashion she had done. She didn't use her full power but enough to black her out. Gill fell and Bra advanced to her. She tried to get up but couldn't move herself.
Bra kneeled in front of her and whispered, "You know, I hate people like you Gill. Just because you're rich doesn't mean you get everything you want or are better than everyone else. You'll never amount to something that way and you'll never get your claws on my brother."
Gill's eyes widened at the revelation. Bra got her up by her blouse and threw her out of the arena. Gill landed with a thud unconscious and the medical team ran to her. Bra stepped down and went to the others. Goten was open mouthed just like Trunks. Pan was laughing and giving her thumbs up.
"This was over way too quickly." she sighted and sat beside Goten. She smiled at him and looked for her father and mother on the crowd.
The matches came and went and the demi sayans won all of their matches. All the matches had been pretty boring until they would fight each other and get some challenge. As it turned out, after Pan would defeat John, Bra and Goten would fight to see who got to the finals.
Finally, Bra would have some challenge and see how strong Goten was. Her father had told her that he had improved a lot but had abandoned the training too much. Bra could go to super sayan 3 but hadn't tried it more than once so she couldn't use it.
"This is one of the final matches everyone," began the announcer. "This will determine one of the finalists for the championship so let's cheer them up. Goten and Sunset please come up, see how the crowd cheers for you two. Come out and see for yourselves."
Bra started walking to the arena with Goten right beside her. He started to observe her movements and facial features. He had to be like 2 inches taller than her at least. They faced each other and the crowd began to cheer.
"Don't go easy on me Goten. I know you're a lot powerful than you really show. Then, the fight began. Goten stood there waiting for her to make the first move. Bra started to walk toward him in a normal fashion.
"Let's see if this wakes you up." Without any warning, she punched him as hard as she could making him loose his balance.
*Damn, that hurt. How could she be that strong?*
"Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I'm not a challenge." Goten got up and powered up.
*Just what I wanted.* Bra also powered up enough to go super sayan. She smirked and whispered, "Come and get me."
That was all Goten needed, he launched at her being careful not to seriously hurt her. It came to a shock to him that she was blocking all of his attacks. He didn't even touch her. He stopped his attack and looked at her and the way she just smiled defying him. He had never gotten so mad in his life.
Without thinking, he turned Super Sayan and shot a ki blast at her. Bra was surprised, she didn't expect for him to actually shoot at her. She barely had time before the blast hit her as she turned away. As she got out of the way, the blast burned some of her skin on her neck and the necklace fell.
Bra was stunned and didn't notice it. As the necklace hit the floor, it busted open and the device went out deactivated and the music box began to play a soft melody.
Goten stopped his next attack as he heard it. The tune had been Bra's favorite song since she had been a little child.
He glanced at the broken necklace and recognized it as the one Vegeta had given Bra for her seven birthday. He stared wide-eyed at it as he remembered the lyrics to the song.
Bra knew that it was all over. He recognized the melody and the necklace. She reached down her pocket for her scrunchie and pulled her hair up in her usual pony tail. Then, she began to sing to the tune.
Someday my prince will come
Someday I'll find my love
And How trilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams come to me
It was just as he remembered it. Since she had that necklace, that had become the only thing she would hum or sing to anyone.
He'll whisper I love you
And steal a kiss or two
Though he's far away
I'll find my love someday
Someday when my dreams
Come true
The melody went to the ears of Trunks and Pan. They both realized what was going on. They both looked at the girl in front of Goten almost whispering the lyrics. That explained why she looked so much like Bra and acted like her. It also explained how good she fought, like a sayan.
Someday we'll say and true
Things we've been longing to
Though he's far away
I'll find my love someday
The day when my dreams come true
Oh please make my dreams come true
She stopped singing as the locket continued to play the melody. Goten just stood there registering everything in his mind.
*That's Bra's locket and the song she always sung. She's standing right in front of me and was the whole time.*
He wanted her to look at him in the eyes and see what she was thinking. He couldn't believe that the girl he had feelings for and was supposedly dead was standing in front of him. He couldn't believe it and refused to believe it.
"You can't be her." he said out loud enough for her to hear. "You're dead and will never come back."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
To Be Continued...
Review and tell me what you think of it. What should be Goten's reaction and what should Bra do? Run away or make him see that she is there.
See you later everyone ... ... ... ... ... Bye

Chapter 5 : The Tournament
The night had come and gone in the Brief's household. Everyone started to get ready for the tournament before they went to bed. In the morning, the whole house was a mess. Goku had arrived early and had turned the kitchen into a pigsty. He just couldn't cook could he. Bra got up and got ready to meet everyone down on the living room like they had said and found Vegeta talking to Goku. Nobody got up this early around here but surely, it was all because of the tournament. She walked toward them but stopped as she heard them talking.
"Are you sure?" asked Vegeta.
"I'm sure, this is when it happens and well, if we participate we'll interfere."
"You haven't exactly told me what's supposed to happen."
"Don't worry, just watch it and enjoy it."
Bra knew they weren't going to say anymore and just walked in. Vegeta and Goku were sitting on the table with the whole kitchen a mess. Goku looked up and smiled.
"Hi Bra."
"Hello Goku, dad. What did you do to the kitchen?"
"Nothing." responded Goku. "I tried to cook something but..."
He didn't have to explain, Bra knew it too well. "I'll make something for you guys."
Goku smiled and thanked her. "I need a daughter like her."
"You have a granddaughter like me, only she doesn't live with you." She started to clean up the kitchen and make something for both of them at the same time.
Goten got up early this day to get prepared. Just as he got up and made his bed, he smelled a nice breakfast. "Good food." he started walking toward the kitchen but found Bra on the way with a spatula.
"Hi Sunset," he replied. "I need food."
"Did you get ready?" she asked.
"For what." he continued advancing but Bra got on the way.
"For the tournament you bonehead. After you have some decent clothes on and combed your hair, go down and eat all you like."
He groaned and went back to his room. "This is like having a Chi Chi in Capsule. I never get a break."
Bra got back to the kitchen to cook more for the three sayans that were coming down any minute.
"Where's mom?" she asked Vegeta.
"She's still in bed." he replied.
"Is she going to go to the tournament?"
"I don't know, she never misses it but..."
"Are you going to get in Bra?" asked Goku looking up from his food.
"Yes. I'm going to participate. I know all that are going to get in the semifinals but I don't know what will happen after that."
"Just do your best." said Goku going back to his food.
Then, Goten came running in and sat down expecting a plate. Bra turned and put it in front of him. He started to grouch it down not even bode ring to say thank you.
An hour later, it was time to get going to the island. Gohan and Videl had arrived just after Pan woke up. Surprisingly, Gohan didn't say anything to her or Trunks. Chi chi arrived later when it was time to go. She had prepared a really big lunch for all of them.
All the women except for Pan were in dresses and the men were all in sweatpants and t-shirts. Yamcha and Tien were going to meet them on the island with 18 and Krillin.
"Who's going to go on the jet." asked Bulma with high spirits despite of all that happened the day before.
"I will." said Bra.
"Anyone else will keep us company?" asked Bulma again.
"I'm going." replied Videl and "Sure." said Chi Chi.
"Ok everyone, let's go. We don't want to be late."
Everyone parted to their ways and left. Bra had with her a duffel bag and boarded the plane smiling.
An hour later, everyone was there going to the sign up booths. The only ones that signed up were Trunks, Goten and Pan.
They separated and went inside to their lockers to put their stuff in. They also had to get in line for the preliminaries. They knew they were going to get in but still, the soon they got that out of the way, the soon they could get out and get this going.
Bra started to walk toward the bathroom with the pretext that she had to go. There, she changed her dress and heels to a shirt and slacks. She put some tennis on and put her hair on a pony tail. She looked in the mirror and smiled.
"Let's have some fun."
She went to the sign up booth and signed on her name, went in and put her duffel bag on the locker.
"I wonder who I'll fight."
Outside in the stands...
Bulma looked around for Bra but couldn't find her anywhere. "Do you know where Sunset is?"
"I don't know. I think she needed to do something Bulma, don't worry. She can take care of herself." replied Goku looking down waiting for the kids to come out. It wouldn't be a fight but well, at least it was funny.
The junior tournament began as the test for the 16 finals.
They started to call people in the order they had signed up so, Bra had to wait a long time until it would be her turn. Pan, Trunks and Goten hadn't spotted her yet but that was her idea. They had also signed up late so, they had to wait some time like her.
The punching machine, was just like it had been the other years and all the numbers were really low. Only one man had gone over one-hundred. Finally, it was Pan's turn to punch it. They had always been told to not use their true powers but even if there was someone strong, they should put the number high.
Bra remembered the time her father told her about 18 hitting it with her finger and it going over 700. She also knew that her father destroyed it. She chuckled, *Dad never holded off his power.*
Every competitor knew of Pan being Satan's granddaughter and she had participated on other tournaments years back. Trunks was also known in those parts as being one of the strongest men in the world. He always got to the finals and lost to two men that this year weren't competing.
Pan walked toward it and hit it with the back of her hand. She did it slightly and it went to 170. She smiled and walked back to where Goten and Trunks where.
Next up was Trunks. Bra knew that he was going to score higher than anyone. He could never get less than anyone and even if he broke it like his father, he would. He walked toward it and hit it. She wouldn't call it hitting but that's what it seemed. It went over 200 and saw everyone gasp. The judges weren't faced like that at all. They had seen it before and knew that he was stronger than he appeared.
She saw him walk back and Pan nudged him. "Show off." she muttered and waited for them to call Goten's name.
He walked toward it mumbling something she couldn't make out. He moved before it and hit it harder than Trunks. The machine went up all the way to 258.
Some people murmured on how broken that machine was and if he got that much he should get over 500. The three were walking away to the exit when they heard the judge call a Sunset White. The three of them turned around and gaped as Bra walked toward the punching machine.
"I didn't know she fought." said Goten open-mouthed. "She looks fragile just like a doll."
"Remember that looks can be deceiving." reminded Pan walking back to her. "I want to know how much she gets."
Goten and Trunks stayed there waiting for her to come back. pan neared the crowd again and saw Bra contracting her knuckles. She went up to it with all the men's eyes on her. She stood right before it and hit it just like if she gave it all she had but as delicately as possible. She waited for the number to come up and smiled. *162, not bad. Not bad at all.*
Pan stood there gaping just like everyone else. Bra walked to her and smiled. "Am I the strong?"
Pan looked at her and smiled. "You're stronger than all the morons that are here."
"Thank you." she walked toward the guys smiling.
"You never said you could fight." said Goten still staring at her.
"You never asked." she answered and started moving to the exit with Pan.
"She is full of surprises." said Goten. "She's a genius, can fight better than most of the people here and she's gorgeous."
"She's gorgeous." asked Trunks. "Since when do you like one of my employees."
"Since she lives with us, was with me when I woke up and actually understood me."
"What do you really feel?" asked Trunks leading him to the exit.
"I'm not sure, I only know her for a day but she reminds me so much of Bra."
Trunks shook his head. *Goten never got over it.* They went after the girls.
"Who are the other 12 finals?" asked Bra.
"I don't know, they'll call us or something." replied Goten.
"What's there to do until we're called?" asked Bra.
"We could watch the junior division or stay here and eat." responded Pan.
"I want to stay." said Trunks. "It's boring out there. I just wonder what we'll do for a whole hour."
"How about we go see the island. There have to be a lot of things going on out there."
"I agree." Pan and Bra left to go outside. Before they went out the door, they looked to the two men and continued on their way.
"What are they going to do?" asked Bra skipping steps. "They'll get bore of doing absolutely nothing."
"They're guys, they like doing nothing."
"Oh yeah."
Everywhere they went, they saw people going into stores buying cameras and video cassettes. Mostly, everyone was going to the arena laughing and talking among their selves.
"Pan, are there any old buildings in this place?"
"I think so. I think this houses where built over 50 years ago and they have tours through it on the summer and closed on winter for repairs."
"We'll be walking around for the whole hour with all the things there is to do around here."
"I know. Every time I come, it's all boring until it's time for us to fight." Pan looked at her. "Speaking of fighting, where did you learn martial arts."
"Well, my father taught me. It's not important the strength you have with force like all those guys out there but, the strength you have within. Martial arts is not all about punches and kicks but by concentration and coordination."
"You know a lot about it. You should practice with us sometime."
"Thanks, I'll take you up on that." Bra stopped walking and sighted. "Here we are, the end of the island."
"I know, the good thing is, it's a beach. Let's relax a little before we get back."
Some time later...
"Where are they?" asked Trunks glancing at his watch. "We have to go inside to pick our numbers."
"Relax Trunks. They'll be back eventually." responded Goten yawning. "We should have gone with them. This was so boring."
"You could have but you..."
Trunks stopped as Goten signaled him to look behind him. He turned and found Pan and Bra laughing walking toward them.
"... and then, he turned and ran like there was no tomorrow."
Bra laughed as hard as she could to that. "That would have to be one of the most embarrassing things that happened to Trunks." She continued laughing as she saw his face.
"What were you telling her?" he asked as normal as he could.
"Just one of the most embarrassing things that have happened to you." Pan responded looking innocently.
"You told her about..."
"Yes."
"Oh Kami."
"It's not that bad Trunks, but, it was funny." Pan started to laugh just like Bra.
"What are you talking about?" asked Goten feeling out of place.
"You won't know or someone here will get really hurt." warned Trunks looking at Bra and Pan. "Understood."
"Like the threatening voice works Trunks." snorted Pan. "You're not that convincing to any of us remember?"
"Shut up."
"Don't you talk like that to me Trunks," warned Pan. "In the other hand, I can hurt you a lot."
"Oh goody, they're fighting." said Goten exited like a little kid to Bra.
"They don't fight often do they?" she asked.
"No. That's why it's not predictable. Anything can happen when they're at each other's throats."
They both turned their attention to Pan and Trunks who where about to jump at each other.
"Well, I'd like to see you try." responded Trunks taking a step forward.
"Be very careful Trunks, very careful if you have to fight me here. I'd have an excuse to wipe the floor with you."
"Bring it on."
"You will regret this Trunks." said Goten getting their attention. "I know what happens when she's mad with you. You won't like it and well from personal experience, Don't do it."
"Like I'm afraid of a little girl."
Pan gasped and Bra's mouth hit the pavement.
"Little girl." gasped Pan.
"Yes, little girl." he responded smiling at her face.
"I want so badly to rip your head off Trunks but I'll wait until the tournament starts. And, if I don't fight you, prepare for what I'm going to do with you in the Gravity Machine at home." with that said, she turned and walked toward the entrance of the 16 finalists.
"Now you've done it Trunks. She's out for your head." Goten shocked his head and walked after Pan. Bra followed him and Trunks went right after them.
They all said their names to enter and tried to find Pan. She was nowhere to be seen.
"You're dead Trunks."
"Nice reference Goten, I'm stronger than her remember."
"Maybe, but you've neglected your training so I wouldn't be surprised if she's near your power level. Also, she's pissed so that will make her stronger than she already is."
"Thanks for the confidence pal." grunted Trunks. "How do I get into this mess with her?"
"Because you're as stubborn as a mule."
"Nicely put." reflected Bra.
"Thanks." Goten smiled and continued to look for Pan.
"Excuse me people." interrupted the judge. "We'll start selecting balls now so everyone gather around."
Everyone walked toward him and waited for the names to be called.
"Will John Stuart come up." A man with long blond hair came up and selected a ball. He got it out and gave it to the judge. He got number 13.
The other helpers wrote it down and radioed it to the others outside.
"Next up is Gill Star." out of the crowd came out a slim woman with blond hair and green eyes. She had on tight jeans and a blue blouse.
"Gill is here." muttered Goten.
"Who's Gill?" asked Bra wanting in on her information.
"She used to be one of Trunks girl-friends. He broke up with her and let's just say that Pan can't see her within a 50 mile radius."
"Why." asked Bra surprised.
"Let's just say that Gill was persistent. I just hope that Pan doesn't get to fight her. Pan would kill her in a second."
"That bad."
"Worse. And with Trunks and her fighting, she's likely to do something she'll regret."
Gill went up and got a ball out. She was one of the girls that made it in. She looked at the number and got number seven.
She walked back and winked at Trunks who just shrugged and continued to look for Pan. Now he had another reason for finding her before she found Gill here.
"Sean Morr." called the judge. A bulky man walked up to him and reached for a ball. His was number 16. He was pretty confident that he could beat anyone here. His score was one of the highest in there.
"Allem Foser." Another pretty boy popped up and went for the next ball. He got number one out and smiled. He had been trained in one of the most prestige private GYMS of Mr. Satan and he had been the best student there. He scanned the crowd for pretty ladies and found Bra talking to Goten.
*A new girl to conquest.* He started for her but stopped as he saw Goten give him a dirty look. He had challenged Goten before in the last tournament and he had been beaten. *I'll get even with you Goten, just wait and see.*
"Jin Won." The next contestant was small but looked a lot like one of the masters of the arts. He had been the last one to win the past tournament. Trunks and Goten had to drop out for an emergency. His number was four.
"Sunset White." she was the first to be called of the four. She went up and reached for a ball. She looked at it and smiled. She had number eight so that meant she would fight Gill. Gill looked at her and also smiled not knowing who she was.
"That'll be easy." she murmured to herself as she stepped down.
And the other people were called. Goten had got number three which made him fight the champion of the last time. Trunks got number ten and he got to fight a man called Talon, who had been on the last tournament as well.
Pan had been almost the last one to be called and she appeared from the air. She was number 15 so she had to fight the big bulky man Sean. The other fights weren't that interesting. As they finished the whole thing, Pan and Bra walked out to the arena to wait for their turns.
"You're the last one to fight."
"I know, it'll give me time to cool down." Pan looked around for the other finalists and saw a familiar girl. "Do you know who that girl is?"
"I think so, I'm fighting her. She's Gill Star."
"Gill Star."
"I think so." Bra looked at her to see her reaction. Pan just smirked and glanced at her hand. There was her lone diamond in 14 carrot gold.
"What's wrong?" asked Bra not understanding her reaction. "Goten said that you were mad at her and your smirking."
"Let's just say that payback is sweet right. I know that you can beat her and the embarrassment will be too hard for her to bear. She thinks because her family is rich that she has everything in the world. But, I have one thing that she doesn't." she showed the ring to Bra and smirked further. "And, it is the other way around, she's the one that would like to kill me."
"Is this whole feuding thing because of Trunks?"
"You might say that."
"And what are you going to do?" asked Bra watching as the judge called the first fighters.
"I'm just going to wait until you beat her up until I actually talk to her."
"You're going to humiliate her."
"Sure, as I said, revenge is sweet although she's not going to have any."
They both watch as Allem went up to the arena and waved at the crowd. Both girls watched as Many girl cheered and waved back at him. The other guy was strong or at least he appeared to be. You could see all the muscles he had in his arms as he tried to look frightening to Allem.
Just then, it started. Allem just stood there waiting for the guy to come. Leander charged at him and drove a punch to his face but Allem blocked it. He smiled and did a double kick at his back. The double kick sent him straight out of the ring which of course disqualified him from the match. All the girls cheered at him and some blew kisses at him. He turned to Bra and winked at her. She raised an eyebrow in question and continued to talk to Pan as if nothing happened.
*Playing hard to get are we?" he smirked at that. *No girl has ever refused me and after I defeat Goten she'll see it my way.* He stepped down from the arena and returned inside to tend to his hair.
Next up was Goten's fight. He had to fight the last winner of the tournament. Goten came up to the arena and waited for Jin to join him. Goten knew this was going to be complicated.
Jin came up and bowed before he took in his position for the beginning. Goten launched at him with little force but Jin blocked it. They both began to throw punches and kicks at each other. Just as the time was about to give out. Goten powered up and knocked Jin out from behind. He fell on and the judge began to count to ten.
It was clear that Goten had won and his next fight would be against Allem. He walked down of the arena and went toward Pan and Bra.
"This is going to be so easy until I actually fight one of you." he sighted and sat down beside them. "Pan, what are you going to do about the whole Gill situation?"
"Nothing much, I don't get to fight her, Sunset does and I know that she can beat her."
"Well, how about you just let Trunks within walking distance before he has to run for it."
"What do you mean?" she asked looking for Trunks.
"I mean that Gill's glued to him and with you not there." he pointed to Trunks who had Gill hung up on his arm looking around for someone. "He's trying to see where you are to save him of her."
"He knows he can come here." she groaned. "That girl was always getting on my nerves."
Pan motioned to get up but Bra sat her down. "I'll go get him."
"Thanks. It's like his brain-dead to know I can't be mad at him for more than five seconds." she huffed and crossed her arms. Bra got up and walked toward them as the announcer announced the next fight.
She stopped behind them and touched Trunks shoulders. He turned around and Gill did as well.
"Oh, Sunset have you seen Pan?" he asked shrugging Gill's arm off. "I can't find her anywhere."
"You could try where Goten is. We've been there waiting for you guys until our fights." She motioned for Goten and Pan waved. "After I fight, it'll be your turn."
Trunks started to walk toward pan forgetting all about Gill standing there. "Why did you do that?"
"I don't know. I just thought that it would be better if I came to get Trunks and not his fiancée." she turned around and started to walk away. "Oh, and see you in the arena."
Bra walked away smiling at Gill. *That is one top b****. Never knows when to quit.* She sat down and waited for her match to come up.
"It's everything ok here?" she asked Goten.
"Sure. You're up next." he motioned for the arena where they were calling her name. Gill was walking toward it moving her hips having many of the male audience cheering for her. Bra smirked and walked right behind her.
"Here's a match with two very strong women. Let's see what happens here." announced the announcer.
Both girls stared at each other smirking. Gill launched herself to Bra and punched her on the cheek. Bra didn't even block it. She turned her head back to Gill and smiled. Some blood trickled down her mouth but she wiped it away.
"Is that all you've got." she said menacing. "Or is it that you're just warming up."
Gill couldn't believe it. She had given everything she could to that punch. She backed away scared. She only saw Bra smirk as she advanced.
"I thought so." Bra ran to her and punched her in the same fashion she had done. She didn't use her full power but enough to black her out. Gill fell and Bra advanced to her. She tried to get up but couldn't move herself.
Bra kneeled in front of her and whispered, "You know, I hate people like you Gill. Just because you're rich doesn't mean you get everything you want or are better than everyone else. You'll never amount to something that way and you'll never get your claws on my brother."
Gill's eyes widened at the revelation. Bra got her up by her blouse and threw her out of the arena. Gill landed with a thud unconscious and the medical team ran to her. Bra stepped down and went to the others. Goten was open mouthed just like Trunks. Pan was laughing and giving her thumbs up.
"This was over way too quickly." she sighted and sat beside Goten. She smiled at him and looked for her father and mother on the crowd.
The matches came and went and the demi sayans won all of their matches. All the matches had been pretty boring until they would fight each other and get some challenge. As it turned out, after Pan would defeat John, Bra and Goten would fight to see who got to the finals.
Finally, Bra would have some challenge and see how strong Goten was. Her father had told her that he had improved a lot but had abandoned the training too much. Bra could go to super sayan 3 but hadn't tried it more than once so she couldn't use it.
"This is one of the final matches everyone," began the announcer. "This will determine one of the finalists for the championship so let's cheer them up. Goten and Sunset please come up, see how the crowd cheers for you two. Come out and see for yourselves."
Bra started walking to the arena with Goten right beside her. He started to observe her movements and facial features. He had to be like 2 inches taller than her at least. They faced each other and the crowd began to cheer.
"Don't go easy on me Goten. I know you're a lot powerful than you really show. Then, the fight began. Goten stood there waiting for her to make the first move. Bra started to walk toward him in a normal fashion.
"Let's see if this wakes you up." Without any warning, she punched him as hard as she could making him loose his balance.
*Damn, that hurt. How could she be that strong?*
"Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I'm not a challenge." Goten got up and powered up.
*Just what I wanted.* Bra also powered up enough to go super sayan. She smirked and whispered, "Come and get me."
That was all Goten needed, he launched at her being careful not to seriously hurt her. It came to a shock to him that she was blocking all of his attacks. He didn't even touch her. He stopped his attack and looked at her and the way she just smiled defying him. He had never gotten so mad in his life.
Without thinking, he turned Super Sayan and shot a ki blast at her. Bra was surprised, she didn't expect for him to actually shoot at her. She barely had time before the blast hit her as she turned away. As she got out of the way, the blast burned some of her skin on her neck and the necklace fell.
Bra was stunned and didn't notice it. As the necklace hit the floor, it busted open and the device went out deactivated and the music box began to play a soft melody.
Goten stopped his next attack as he heard it. The tune had been Bra's favorite song since she had been a little child.
He glanced at the broken necklace and recognized it as the one Vegeta had given Bra for her seven birthday. He stared wide-eyed at it as he remembered the lyrics to the song.
Bra knew that it was all over. He recognized the melody and the necklace. She reached down her pocket for her scrunchie and pulled her hair up in her usual pony tail. Then, she began to sing to the tune.
Someday my prince will come
Someday I'll find my love
And How trilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams come to me
It was just as he remembered it. Since she had that necklace, that had become the only thing she would hum or sing to anyone.
He'll whisper I love you
And steal a kiss or two
Though he's far away
I'll find my love someday
Someday when my dreams
Come true
The melody went to the ears of Trunks and Pan. They both realized what was going on. They both looked at the girl in front of Goten almost whispering the lyrics. That explained why she looked so much like Bra and acted like her. It also explained how good she fought, like a sayan.
Someday we'll say and true
Things we've been longing to
Though he's far away
I'll find my love someday
The day when my dreams come true
Oh please make my dreams come true
She stopped singing as the locket continued to play the melody. Goten just stood there registering everything in his mind.
*That's Bra's locket and the song she always sung. She's standing right in front of me and was the whole time.*
He wanted her to look at him in the eyes and see what she was thinking. He couldn't believe that the girl he had feelings for and was supposedly dead was standing in front of him. He couldn't believe it and refused to believe it.
"You can't be her." he said out loud enough for her to hear. "You're dead and will never come back."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
To Be Continued...
Review and tell me what you think of it. What should be Goten's reaction and what should Bra do? Run away or make him see that she is there.
See you later everyone ... ... ... ... ... Bye
