{name:ANNOUNCER#|#picture:14} "And there we have it folks! The draw for this year's World Martial Arts Tournament!" His orange-clad assistants spinning the tournament bracket board into the view of the millions of people watching the event, the Tournament Announcer gestured over to further indicate the significance of the board, the tone in his voice booming with artificial excitement. "In the first match, we have Contestant Pintar against Contestant Videl!" "In the second match, we have Contestant Namu fighting against Giran!" "In the third match, the Great Saiyaman will be fighting 18!" "In the fourth, its the Mighty Mask versus Krillin!" "In the fifth match, its Killa versus Vegeta!" "In the sixth, our hero Hercule versus Spopovich!" "In the seventh, we have Ma Junior up against Yamu!" "And finally, in the eighth match, Contestant Jewel will be facing Goku!" Raising his fist in a triumphant pose, the announcer continued enthusiastically. "And without further ado! Let's get this party started! Krillin versus Pintar!"

{name:VIDEL#|#picture:1}"Already? Oh well, I guess it's time."
Videl was filled with confidence as she remembered how many enemies she had taken down. She walked up to the battle arena to face her opponent.
"This is one tough looking guy!"
"BEGIN!"
She touched her bottom lip with her finger before getting into her fighting stance and making a move.
"But I'm sure I can do better!"
She ran directly at her large opponent and straight kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying off out into the ring out section!
"Yes!"
Jumping for joy, the teen daughter of Hercule cheered with happiness.

{name:GREAT SAIYAMAN#|#picture:6}"That's the way Videl! You got 'im!"
Gohan raised his arm in a triumphant motion as Videl beat her opponent in pretty much no time at all, returning a thumbs up to the female fighter as she turned to him.

{name:ANNOUNCER#|#picture:14}"And it's all over! Winner by ringout, Videl advances to the second round! What a display! Give it up for the daughter of the reigning champ!"
The crowd exploded in applause as the attendants in possession of a stretcher went and tended to the downed Pintar, the victor now returning the entrance building.
"Alright, what a start to the World Martial Arts Tournament! Without further ado, the second match; tournament veterans Namu and Giran!"

{name:GOKU#|#picture:11}"Hey! I remember those two!"
The typical wide characteristic Goku grin quickly appeared on Goku's face as he watched the two second round fighters enter the ring. No doubt both of them were the same guys that he had fought as a kid in one of the earlier World Martial Arts Tournaments.
The fight had begun as Giran attempted to grab a hold of the turbaned fighter, who nimbly dodged strikes and grabs left and right.
"Yeah! Keep it up you two!"
A powerful kick from the dinosaur after his relentless flurry of attacks seemed to have beaten the dark-skinned warrior, who, propelled up several meters into the air seemed to have lost control. The dinosaur all but proclaimed his victory as he gathered strength to finish his opponent with a final punch.
"I've got you!"
But for Goku, this was all too familiar.
"Cross Arm Dive!"
Folding his arms, Namu controlled his lightning-fast downward plummet; crashing into Giran full force; leaving the dinosaur to fall face first into unconsciousness. The match was over.
Intercepting the victorious warrior as he re-entered the observation area, Goku offered a warm congratulations.
"That was great, Namu! You had him right where you wanted the whole fight!"
The white-clad warrior simply returned a smiling nod in appreciation as he returned to his resting spot in a corner of the room.

{name:ANNOUNCER#|#picture:14}"And that's all she wrote, folks! Namu is the winner by knockout! A perfectly-timed move with a perfectly-timed finish! Give it up for Namu!"
The dinosaur was carried away by stretcher much like the competitor that had fought before him, and it seemed that Namu had swiftly left to make way for the next match.

{name:GREAT SAIYAMAN#|#picture:6}Standing on the left side of the logo in the center of the entrance to the ring, Gohan, clad in his Saiyaman disguise looked over at 18, leaning against the wall on the other side of the logo.
"Well, 18. Looks like it's time. Let's have ourselves a good match."

{name:KRILLIN#|#picture:9}"Good luck, dear. Let's get that prize money!"
Krillin's fists were tightly clenched in anticipation. This would be a good match, no doubt. Good thing it was 18, and not him that had to face Gohan in the first round.
"Oh, and good luck to you too, Gohan!"
He leaned in to whisper to Gohan, his hand covering one side of his mouth.
"Any way you can lose this match Gohan? For old times' sake? We could really use that money."

{name:GREAT SAIYAMAN#|#picture:6}Gohan's mouth gaped open at the suggestion.
"What? No way, I can't do that. I want to face father in the final round."
He shook his head in disapproval.

{name:KRILLIN#|#picture:9}"Oh. Just my luck."
Krillin tapped his index fingers together in disappointment. Of course Goku and Gohan wouldn't throw any matches. These Saiyans were fighting maniacs, after all.
If Gohan won, then Krillin, after taking that Mighty Mask guy down would have to face him in the next round. The short-statured human glanced over at where Mighty Mask was standing; an awkward looking fellow; he'd have no problem against this guy. But he didn't stand a chance against Gohan in the next round. Things were looking bleak.

{name:18#|#picture:13}18 heard her husband cheer for her.
"Shut up Krillin! I know I am going to win this match."
She glared at Krillin coldly as if she was annoyed by him. 18 gazed at her opponent on the other side of the logo.
"Why is he wearing that dorky costume? What's his deal?"

{name:ANNOUNCER#|#picture:14}"For the next match, we get to see the Great Saiyaman; the famous superhero of Orange Star city, fighting the woman with a strange name; number 18!"
The crowd erupted in more enthusiastic cheer; chanting "Saiyaman! Saiyaman! Saiyaman!"

{name:GREAT SAIYAMAN#|#picture:6}Barely hearing the blonde's remark about his costume, Gohan's expression turned into a pout as the announcer called the competitors up onto the arena.
The pout was still clear on his face as he slowly walked alongside 18 up the stairs into the ring. The Saiyaman outfit wasn't dorky. Just listen to the crowd. Everyone loved it.
Gohan took his place at one side of the ring, his cape flowing with the breeze. His fists clenched at his sides.

{name:18#|#picture:13}As soon as 18 heard her name, she placed both hands on her hips and walked slowly towards the arena. She gazed at her daughter, watching her from the crowd.
"We need that prize money" She thought to herself.
18 smiled a little when her daughter Marron cheered happily for her. She then fixed her gaze upon Gohan, staring at him with cold eyes.
"BEGIN!"
18 made the first move by rushing towards Gohan and elbowing him in the stomach.
She walked back a couple meters and waited for Gohan to make his move.
