Vegeta slowly looked at Tai then the just recovered Trunks. He slowly nodded and all three ran out the front door and flew off into the dark sky.

Long slowly smirked, seeing three distant objects coming toward him. "Ah-ha!" he said with a smirk "Looks like they're the first to go!"

Vegeta landed a mere two foot in front of Long and looked him straight in the eyes. "So you're the one that interrupted my training!" he said in a scowling tone "I guess me and my sons will have to teach you a lesson about that sort of thing!"

Long smirked, looking at the sons then Vegeta "Oh come on, you don't expect me to believe that's why you came here, your Saiyan nature made your pride feel threatened when you felt the destruction of the one you call Hiro.

Vegeta slowly ran his hands through his hair "I know no Hiro.. But, Tai here may do."

Tai slowly looked at his father then to Long, staying rather quiet.

Long slowly smirked "Well then, who shall be first to go!"

Trunks took a step forward "I'm fighting you; I have a score to settle!"

"Ah, the one that dodged death!" Long said with a grin "I'm surprised you can walk! Well, nevertheless.. Let us fight!"

Trunks slowly cracked his knuckles then his neck. He slowly got into stance, clenching his fists tightly. The ground near him started to shake slightly followed by flickers of gold. His hair and clothes started to shake in the aura, his hair starting to change colour. Long slowly smirked, watching Trunks' hair blasting into a golden colour, his eyes green and his aura waving.

Trunks slowly looked at Long, and then disappeared. He quickly appeared behind him and threw a foot at the side of his head.

Long's hand swiftly caught the foot and Trunks back flipped to his feet. He then quickly turned round and slammed his fist into Trunk's face.

Trunks skidded along the ground, making a deep trench along it. His eyes looked up to Long, only to find it was all in vain. Long had already given Trunks many hits, knocking him to the ground with a final hit over the head.

Vegeta slowly frowned, rather annoyed by his son's efforts. "Come on, Trunks!" he shouted angrily "You're disgracing me!"

Trunk's eyes narrowed at the comment and the fist coming toward his face. He quickly gritted his teeth ready for the punch.

"Hm…" said Long, stopping the finishing blow "I see what's going on here.. Everyone believes they're best fit for defeating me!"

Vegeta frowned, snapping at him with "And what's that meant to mean!"

Long slowly looked at Vegeta and smirked "Well, I guess seeing that almost all the fighters are of Saiyan blood.. They have pride over who fights me! So let us hold a tournament here in exactly.. Let's say three days"

Vegeta smirked "Two!" he said, rather cockily.

Long rolled his eyes and stood upright "Just for that I'll make it five! Come back here in exactly five days.. We'll see who is most suitable for fighting me!" Long slowly let off a shivering laugh as he disappeared into his own aura.

Tai rubbed his eyes, amazed at what he saw. How could someone do that? He felt like he had to know.

Trunks slowly stood up and looked at Vegeta "Thanks, father.. Now we can have a few days to prepare for the next encounter."

Vegeta sighed and turned, walking off "Whatever you say, boy! I'm just pissed I didn't get my fight! Train all you like, but when it comes to the day, I'll be fighting him!"

Trunks let off a sigh and walked up to Tai, with a little smile. "Come on, Tai.. Shall we go train?"

Tai quickly nodded "Sure! But not for long, I need to do something!"

Trunks blinked then laughed "Sure, sure. You can't miss out on playing your games today, can ya?"

Tai shrugged "Yeah, something like that…"

Trunks smirked and walked off with Tai, heading back home together to train for a little while.

Vegeta landed at a familiar building, walking up to the front door and opening it. He walked inside and looked at someone sitting to the table.

"Ah, Vegeta!" he said "Want to eat with us?"

Vegeta let off a frown "Shut up, Kakarot, I'm here to tell you about a tournament that's happening in five days! A strong enemy has challenged us to battle each other to see who is 'worthy of his abilities'!"

Goku slowly blinked "Uh, alright then?"

Vegeta frowned again "Kakarot! Take this seriously you pea brained imbecile!"

Chi-Chi quickly stood up at that comment "How dare you! You may be a Saiyan 'Prince', but you have no right to come into my house and call my husband an imbecile! GET OUT, RIGHT NOW!"

Vegeta held up his hand to Chi-chi, powering up a ball over energy "Kakarot, just be there in five days! I must beat you in the tournament and destroy this Long!"

Goku smiled "Sure, Vegeta! I'll be there, I promise!"

Vegeta nodded, making the ball disappear "Good, I'm glad that's settled!" He then turned and walked out the house.

Chi-Chi looked at Goku and slowly frowned "You are not entering this tournament, you hear me Goku!"

Goku blinked "B-But Chi-Chi! I have to enter, you heard what Vegeta said.. Besides, this Long sounds dangerous!"

Chi-Chi sat down at the table looking at Goku angrily "Go if you must, then! But don't expect my support!"

Goku laughed "Ok, ok, Chi-Chi! Now, shall we get back to eating before the food get's cold?"

Chi-Chi let off a sigh as she sat back down "Sometimes I really worry about you, Goku…"

When Vegeta got back home, he could hear his son's training in the back garden. Tai was giving it everything he had, so he could be strong enough for the tournament.

He slowly walked inside, getting a cold stare from Bulma.

"What's this I hear about a fight!" she said to Vegeta

He let off a little frown "Trunks, Tai and I will compete. We're doing it to destroy a major threat to us all!"

Bulma slowly stopped with the cold stare "But, Vegeta, Tai's too young! He can't fight."

Vegeta frowned and walked off "No Super Saiyan son of mine is too young to fight and that's that!"

Korin slowly looked over the edge of his place, his eyes fixed onto the far distance.

"Korin…" said Dende "I'm so sorry I had to tell you that about your own son…"

Korin slowly turned round and looked at Dende, slowly letting off a weak smile "Young one…" he said "I thank you for referring him as my son, although everyone knows he wasn't. He was like one to me from the day I found him, I taught him all I knew and even asked him to train and become like Mr. Popo.. It gives me great pride to know he died protecting others, but it doesn't weaken the blow of loosing him."

Dende slowly nodded "I understand, I must apologise, but I need to go back to the lookout.. Please forgive me."

Korin nodded "It's fine.." then turned round, looking into the distance again as Dende went back to the lookout.

'Hiro…" Korin thought to himself 'I am so very proud of you.. My son…"
