Disclaimer: I know you were all excited, but unfortunately I still don't own Dragon Ball, DBZ, and thank god I don't own GT. I don't think I could live with the guilt.

Goku lazily sidestepped another badly thrown punch from a large, very well muscled man. For some reason the fighter had been following him around the ring since the preliminary round began. The man stood more than a foot taller and at least a hundred and fifty pounds heavier, than the Saiyan warrior. He had also apparently formed some sort of grudge.

'Maybe I shouldn't have said his clothes looked funny,' Goku thought as he hopped over his opponents leg which had been aimed at his knees. Goku was worried about hurting any of the other competitors and as such had resorted to simply dodging their attacks until they were all either worn out or had eliminated each other.

From a slightly higher platform, Goku could hear Vegeta's loud cackles which told him the prince had chosen a different plan of action. Frequent splashes told him that Krillin had chosen the middle ground, and was simply knocking his opponents into the water.

"Yeah Goku! Kick his butt!" Yelled Chi Chi from the stands. Beside her Bulma was cringing away from her friend while covering her ears. Even baby Trunks attempted to cover his small ears.

"Uh, Chi, can you please not scream so loud?" she asked. The dark haired woman took no notice and seemed to cheer even louder. "Chi Chi?" More cheers. "Chi Chi!" No reaction. Bulma was about to yell again when a wrinkled old hand appeared on her shoulder.

Master Roshi, who was sitting behind the two women with Oolong and Puar, leaned in close enough to be heard over the crazed woman's taunts. "Don't worry Bulma, I'll quiet her down." He grinned mischievously and looked at Chi Chi. Stealthily, he began to fondle her 'lower back'. In a burst of speed that would have had her Saiyan husband's head spinning, Chi Chi spun around and slapped the old hermit up three rows of seating.

Chi Chi turned back and sat down with a 'humph'. For once in her life, Bulma was thankful for Master Roshi's perversion. "So, Chi Chi have you heard anything about Gohan?" Chi Chi's exterior abruptly shifted gears from angry to sad. The retired fighter looked down and sighed.

"No, nothing new. He still hasn't moved from that stupid pedestal of his. Piccolo is watching him right now." Bulma grimaced. She regretted her question. This was clearly the first time Chi Chi hadn't been killing herself with worry in a long time and she had ruined it. The blue-haired genius patted her friend's shoulder reassuringly.

"I'm sure he'll be fine. But I think your husband is getting bored." She said with a giggle as she pointed towards the arena. Chi Chi looked up and smiled. She took a deep breath and resumed her loud cheering.

After several minutes of casual dodging, Goku turned his attention back to his own platform to find that only himself and his stalker remained. The taller wrestler had his hands on his knees as he panted in a desperate attempt to regain his breath.

"Hey, you okay there?" He asked innocently. The wrestler stopped panting and glared at the shorter fighter. He straightened and shouted in anger. With all the energy he could muster, he launched his fist at Goku, who didn't even bother to dodge. His fist connected with Goku's face and produced a sickening thud. The sound of bones cracking echoed in the resulting silence. Goku stood, completely unfazed, as the massive warrior grabbed his broken hand gingerly and collapsed to the ground.

"Das it, I no more fight. Dis guy is a freak," he cried through his heavy accent. The announcer raised his hand and declared Goku the victor. On the huge television screen in front of the audience a new roster appeared.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen it looks like we have our semi-finalists! Its going to be Goku, Vegeta, Krillin, Doskoi, Udo, and Sky Dragon will be competing in a Battle Royal to decide who will go on to fight the reigning champion Mr. Satan!"

The crowd exploded in cheers and whistles as the competitors lined up on the huge platform that was to be the battleground for the semi-final fight. This one was much larger than the preliminary rings and rested mere inches above the water.

Vegeta and Goku stood directly opposite one another. Krillin stood to Goku's left with the fat sumo wrestler Doskoi between himself and Vegeta. Sky Dragon and the immense Udo stood to Goku's right. The announce raised his hand and, in as dramatic a voice as he could muster, announced for the fight to "Begin!"

Goku immediately glanced at Krillin, who gave him a knowing wink. The former monk disappeared from sight. He reappeared in front of Udo and knocked him into the water with a single kick. A wall of water rose up and soaked half of the arena. Before the tidal wave had even settled Krillin was in front of Sky Dragon. With a halfhearted backhand, Sky Dragon joined Udo in the surf.

Krillin turned his head at the last remaining non-Saiyan fighter and smirked. Doskoi backpedaled away from the short fighter. Seconds later the floor gave out beneath him and he too took a swim. Krillin sighed and slowly walked to the edge as well. With a graceful hop, his foot barely grazed the surface of the water. The whistle was blown to mark him as disqualified and he looked over his shoulder at his oldest friend.

The announcer, and the crowd, was dumbfounded. "Uh...it...it seems that Krillin has conceded the match! Amazing! Even after knocking out three skilled fighters in a row he seems to be scared of facing the Champ himself!" Krillin's head sank and sighed. He turned his head back to Goku and gave a resigned smile.

"The stage is all yours guys." Goku grinned widely.

"Thanks Krillin, I didn't want Vegeta to hurt them." Vegeta smirked and uncrossed his arms.

"Hm. So that was your plan? Have baldie clear the field for us?" Goku nodded. "I guess I should thank you, they would have gotten in the way and you know how annoyed that makes me. Still, making the bald one quit was a mistake."

"Oh yeah? How so?" asked Goku.

"You're going to need all the help you can get, not that it would have affected the outcome in the slightest." Goku grinned even wider and dropped into his fighting stance. Vegeta followed suite with his own stance.

For what seemed like an eternity the two great fighters stared each other down, each trying to find a weakness in the others technique. Suddenly Vegeta launched himself across the stage with his fist aimed at his adversary's head.

Goku ducked and quickly brought up his own fist into Vegeta's stomach. Vegeta knocked Goku's fist aside with his knee and brought his fists together above his head. Before the Prince could deliver the blow, Goku rolled under him and grabbed Vegeta's ankle. Before he could respond, Vegeta found himself falling towards the ground.

Just before his head hit the pavement, Vegeta outstretched his hands and caught himself. Vegeta back flipped away from Goku and launched an energy blast at him. Goku's eyes narrowed. In an instant he raised his own hand launched a blast of his own. The two Saiyans' blasts collided and canceled each other out in a bright explosion. The crowd was forced to cover their eyes and duck to protect themselves from the blinding light and the shock wave. Smoke concealed the entirety of the battleground.

From inside the dust cloud huge crashes could be heard. The two warriors were meeting each other blow for blow. The wind generated by their fight continued to stir the cloud faster and faster. It quickly turned into a sandstorm. Then, just as quickly as it started, the sounds stopped. The wind slowly died down and the spectators tried to see through the haze.

When the dust settled it showed the two warriors standing once again on opposite sides of the arena as if nothing had happened. The crowd was awe-struck. Not a single voice could be heard. Goku smirked and tilted his head.

"Care to take this to the next level?" He asked. Vegeta returned a smirk of his own and nodded. The two fighters clenched their fists and began to shout in sync. Golden streaks of light swirled around them and met in a maelstrom between them. The earth began to quiver. Loose pebbles defied gravity and floated up into the air. The water was blown away from the two Saiyans by an invisible force.

With one last yell, both fighters were engulfed in gold lights that seemed brighter than the sun itself. When the crowd was able to see again, they witnessed the two had changed. Both warriors were surrounded by pulsing gold flames. Their hair had turned gold, and their eyes had gone from black to teal.

Once again both men disappeared. High in the air, a massive shockwave was the only indicator of their location. It was followed by another, and another. Each time the clouds were blown farther and farther away.

Suddenly the two warriors were back on the arena floor. Punches and kicks flew between the two faster than the eye could see. Goku attempted to swipe Vegeta's legs out from under him only to have Vegeta hop onto his leg and launch his own fist at Goku's face. Goku countered with a punch of his own. Their knuckles connected with a sonic boom, but the two continued as if nothing had happened. Goku back flipped away to gain breathing room.

Before he could take a single breath Vegeta was on him again. The Saiyan Prince gathered an orb of energy in his right hand and fired it point blank into Goku's stomach. Goku pushed the the attack below him and landed his knee into the other Saiyan's face. The blow pushed Vegeta halfway across the ring.

Vegeta raised himself off his knees and looked at his opponent. His eyes were locked solidly on Goku like a hungry wolf stalking its prey. He wiped at his mouth with his glove and looked down to see a small amount of blood.

The Prince scowled and began to shout again. His aura exploded around him even larger than before, and his muscles swelled. Goku's eyes widened but were quickly forced shut by the double handed energy blast fired at him.

Before he could react, the attack exploded and he was sent careening towards the ocean. At the last moment he extended his right arm and used it to stop himself on the stage. His fingers dug long trenches in the stone as Goku barely managed to stop himself.

The taller Saiyan slowly stood and wiped the small amount of blood from his mouth. He narrowed his eyes and smiled at his rival. "So its gonna be like that, huh?" Vegeta's reply was his trademark smirk. Goku clenched his fists tightly and screamed. His aura burst outward as well, though his muscles did not expand as greatly.

The two fighters again launched themselves at each other. This time, however, it was clear that Goku now held the advantage. Vegeta threw his fist at his gut, but Goku sidestepped and grabbed the Prince's wrist. He heaved the bulkier warrior over his shoulder and threw him to the ground. Vegeta's body slammed hard into the arena floor and made a deep crater into the solid concrete.

Goku extended his hand towards the ground at the Saiyan prince who was still lying sprawled on the ground. A bright ball of golden light appeared in his hand. Without hesitation, he fired it. In a flash Vegeta flipped himself up onto one knee and extended his palms out towards the oncoming blast.

The energy violently crashed against his hands and burned away the gloves on his palms. Vegeta began to grunt with effort as he was slowly being pushed back into the ground. The Saiyan Prince gritted his teeth and pushed against the attack with all his strength. His aura exploded to life around him and, with one last push, he threw the ball high into the sky.

Goku was caught off guard by the move, which Vegeta used to his advantage. Using his momentum, he slammed his fist into Goku's unprotected midsection. Spit flew from Goku's mouth as he tumbled backwards. He came to a stop near the edge of the arena and straightened himself.

Both Saiyans stared each other down, both panting from exertion, especially Vegeta. He was pushing his limits to keep up with Goku, and even still Vegeta could tell he was holding back. A new surge of anger swelled inside him which he used to again launch himself at Goku. Goku dropped into his stance and prepared for the hit when Vegeta disappeared from view.

Goku's eyes widened in shock as he attempted to twist around. Before he could Vegeta's leg slammed into the side of his head. It was quickly followed up by another well placed kick which sent Goku tumbling once again to the opposite side of the ring. This time, however, Vegeta didn't let up. He blasted after Goku with such speed that no one observing the fight could keep up with.

"I'll teach you what happens when you underestimate the Prince of all Saiyans!" Vegeta matched his speed with Goku's uncontrolled tumble and placed both hands against the other fighter's back. He gathered as much energy as he could force into his hands and pressed them tightly against Goku's shirt. Goku twisted to the side to avoid the blast, but Vegeta's hands followed him. "Take this!" Vegeta fired.

Goku grimaced in pain as his uncontrolled flight received a speed boost. He looked ahead and saw the water coming at him extremely quickly. With a piece of acrobatics most professional athletes could only dream of, he flipped himself over, while still in mid flight, and launched his energy out behind him. He was about to counterattack against Vegeta when he felt something on the tip of his boot.

Water.

Goku froze mid stride and looked down. Sure enough, the very tip of his boot was touching the surface of the ocean. A loud whistle broke the silence and the announcer's voice came over the PA. "It seems Son Goku has touched the water! According to the rules, that qualifies as a ring-out. Vegeta is the winner!"

The awe struck fans exploded into applause as Vegeta smiled brighter than ever as his black hair and eyes returned. His deep cackles sounded across the water as Goku lowered himself back onto the stage in front of him. Slowly, he extended his hand to the Saiyan Prince.

In a move that shocked only those who knew him, Goku and Bulma especially, Vegeta grabbed his hand. The shorter Saiyan looked up at his rival. "I suppose you'll want a rematch after this one too, eh?" His tone was the most playful Goku had ever heard from him. 'I guess beating me has that affect on him.'

Regardless, Goku nodded enthusiastically. "Definitely." Both Saiyans grinned, and both imagined their next fight. One where they could both go all out. Suddenly,a deep throaty laugh interrupted their celebration.

"Aw, isn't that sweet. I do love these tender moments." Both Saiyans jerked their attention up in the air. Above them floated five figures who were silhouetted against the sun. Both Saiyans squinted their eyes to try to see. Before their eyes could adjust, all five floated down to the arena. There were four men and a women. The woman had long orange hair that floated down to her waist.

The man next to her was a short, skinny man with a turban and red shirt. Next to him stood two hulking figures. One had an orange Mohawk and the other had spiky locks that looked similar to those of Future Trunks' Super Saiyan form.

In the middle stood a slightly shorter but extremely well built man who was clearly the leader. His long orange hair was kept low by a black bandana on his head. His arms were crossed over his broad chest and his face carried that particular blend of insanity and ruthlessness that seemed so common in the universe. All had teal skin.

"Hey sorry, you guys are a little late. The tournament's already over," Goku said cautiously. He could sense that these fighters, and fighters they clearly were, were very powerful. The one with the bandana in particular felt dangerous. He might have even been able to give Cell a run for his money.

The one wearing the bandana took a few steps forward until he was in front of the others. He scoffed in distaste. "Pitiful. So is this the best this planet has to offer?" His voice was deep and threatening. Vegeta took a dangerous step towards him.

"Hold your tongue you pathetic excuse for an organism. I suggest you leave before I lose my patience. I wouldn't want you to get hurt." The alien looked down his nose disdainfully at the Saiyan Prince and laughed. The shorter alien with the turban spoke next.

"How dare you speak to the Master like that! He is your new ruler and as such demands respect." Vegeta chuckled.

"Ruler, eh? Looks more like a popsicle someone forgot to throw away." Goku, meanwhile, was scrutinizing all the newcomers carefully. He had a very bad feeling in his gut about them.

"Who are you guys, anyway?" He asked cautiously. The female stepped forward and motioned to the leader.

"This is Master Bojack and we are his faithful servants. I am Zangya, this is Kogu," she said, motioning to the one who's hair resembled Trunks', "Bujin" the short one wearing the Turban, "and Bido." On Bido's head was a bright orange mohawk and goatee.

"I don't care who you are, I'm sick of hearing your voices. Leave before I end your wretched excuse for a life." All five smirked. Kogu stepped to the front of the others and flexed.

"You think you can, go ahead and try." Vegeta grit his teeth together in anger. Before Goku could even think to stop him, Vegeta crossed what little distance remained between them and aimed his fist at Kogu's head. The teal-skinned alien sidestepped the smaller Saiyan and brought his knee up into Vegeta's exposed ribs. Before he could recover, Kogu casually backhanded the Saiyan Prince back towards Goku where he skidded to a stop. His body left a deep trench in the arena.

Goku looked down at Vegeta as he started to pick himself up. A serious look overcame his face and he looked at the aliens. He growled and launched himself at Kogu. In one smooth move, the alien jumped over Goku's rush attack and brought his feet back down hard onto Goku's back. They slammed back onto the arena floor. Goku's body made a foot deep crater in the ground as Kogu hopped off him.

The two Saiyans picked themselves up and shared a look. With a nod, gold light began to pour from both of them. With practiced ease both returned to their Super Saiyan states. Kogu tilted his head to the side and smirked arrogantly. He thrust his chest outward and yelled.

Green light burst outward as the alien's skin faded to a pale green. His hair flashed upwards and turned blood red. Vegeta and Goku stared. They were unimpressed. While in their normal states they had been thoroughly outclassed, it seemed these aliens didn't possess nearly as much power in their transformations.

Vegeta smirked and dropped his guard. "Kakarrot, take a breather. I'll handle this one." Goku was still hesitant.

"Vegeta wait-" before Goku could finish Vegeta had already disappeared. He reappeared behind Kogu and elbowed him sharply in the spine. Kogu staggered forward. Before Vegeta could press his attack another alien, Bido, fired a blast to distract the Saiyan Prince.

Vegeta dodged it and raised his hand at the interfering alien, only to look up and see Zangya's foot aimed directly at his face. Vegeta barely managed to duck, only to feel Kogu's fist in his stomach. The Saiyan looked down to see the alien open his fist on Vegeta's stomach. A ball of energy formed and blasted Vegeta away.

Vegeta gritted his teeth and pushed his energy out to stop his flight. He looked back at the aliens only to find Bido's leg aimed at his head. Vegeta dodged the blow and raised his forearm to block Zangya's fist from hitting his unprotected ribs. Behind him he sensed Kogu preparing to fire another blast.

Not giving the taller alien the chance, Vegeta grabbed Zangya's foot and spun her around. She smacked against her comrade with a sonic boom and both were sent flying. However, Vegeta wasn't fast enough to dodge Bido's next attack. A huge ball of energy slammed into his armor on his back and sent him to his knees.

The Saiyan Prince turned his head around and prepared to counter attack only to see Goku appear and punch the larger alien away. Bido was sent tumbling away by the blow which Goku followed up with a large energy blast. Before the attack hit, Kogu reappeared and batted it away. Goku grimaced as Vegeta rose to his feet beside him. Bido, Zangya, and Kogu opposite them.

Without taking his eyes off his enemies, Goku whispered to Vegeta. "We need to take this fight somewhere else, or all these spectators are going to get caught in the crossfire." Vegeta scoffed.

"Why should I care?" Goku glanced at Vegeta in annoyance.

"Because Bulma and your son are in that crowd. Just help me lure these guys away, alright?" Vegeta begrudgingly grunted his support. Goku nodded thankfully.

"Hey," he said, turning his attention back to the aliens, "let's take this somewhere where we'll have more room." Without waiting, Goku and Vegeta both slowly floated up and flew away from the island. Behind them, the aliens all looked to Bojack who shrugged and flew after the Saiyans. His subordinates didn't hesitate to follow him.
