Chapter 70

It's been a few days since my little interaction with Gohan, and right now Nala, Mia, and I are walking to the reception area, to sign my and Mia's names into the Martial Arts Tournament participants. After waiting in line for a couple of minutes it's finally our turn.

Employee-"Welcome to the 25th world martial arts tournament, please sign your name right here and you will be given a number that represents you. Also if the little one is participating, we have a section for non-adults."

Nodding at the employee, I bend over and write my name down, and I'm given #56 by the employee, stepping aside I let Mia write her name down. After writing her name down, she was handed #23, now finished with gaining the right to participate, the employee informed us of the schedule.

Employee-"In 30 minutes the children's match will begin and after that, the adult's match will start after a 15-minute break, good luck."

Nala thanks the employee as Mia and I have already left to go walk to the rest area for the participants, while walking around I'm constantly on guard against whatever will attack. When we make it to the rest area, I notice that they have the children and adult participants separated, as we are about to split up, I make sure to give my daughter words of encouragement, even knowing that no child can defeat her.

Sage-"All right Mia this is where we split up, make sure to give it your all and win the championship, ok!"

Mia-"Fine father, but why do I have to fight in the children's section? All I sense is a bunch of weak humans who probably couldn't even pick me up, it won't be any fun."

(Note: She is an ancient Saiyan which means her body is incredibly dense.)

Sage-"Well I'm not the one who made the rules and besides, Nala would love to record your fight and keep it."

Mia-"Haa, fine."

Watching Mia walk to the children's rest area safely, I make my to the adult rest area, ready to meet some old friends I haven't seen in several years.

Mia-'Haa, this is a waste of time, what's the point of fighting a bunch of weak and pathetic humans? The strongest children I've fought have been only Goten and Trunks, and even then they have to fight as a Super Saiyan together against me.'

Walking to the entrance of the children's rest area, I open the door, and right when I do all the focus is on me. Although the moment they find out I'm a girl most of them lose interest, not like it mattered to me. Looking around, I spot Goten and Trunks sitting in the back talking to themselves. I was heading in their direction when a group of kids stepped in front of me, I didn't even bother stopping and continued walking through, pushing them aside.

Mob-"You bitch, don't walk past me!"

Right after he said that he tried to grab my tail, but I moved it out the way and wrapped it around his hand, then I smashed him into the other people before throwing that dude into a wall. Ignoring their groans of pain, I made it over to Goten and Trunks, joining their conversation.

Goten-"Hey Mia, you finally made it!"

Trunks-"Yeah Mia what took so long?"

Mia-"We just arrived a few minutes ago, you're the one that's early."

Trunks-"Whatever, so what number did you get, I got #13."

Goten-"I got #14."

Mia-"Mines #23."

As we continued talking about the tournament, Trunks asked something that was all on our minds.

Trunks-"Since we're talking about the tournament, how about we participate in the adult tournament?"

Mia-"But we're not adults?"

Trunks-"Don't worry I have a plan!"

Saying that Trunks reached behind him and pulled out a large thick coat, putting the coat on, he started explaining the plan.

Trunks-"It's simple, since we're not adults, let's become adults. If we stand atop each other we will be tall enough to be counted as an adult, and if we wear the coat, no one will know we are inside. So you guys in?"

Although I don't know how good his plan is, as long as I get to fight against stronger opponents I'm in.

Mia-"I'm in, what about you Goten?"

Goten-"Haa, I guess, but how are we going to hide our ki from everyone?."

Mia-"I have a solution for that."

Trunks-"Well then, let's hurry and sign up!"

Opening the door into the rest area, I'm greeted by a bunch of men and a few women here and there. Walking to where I sensed the group's ki, and when I make It over the entire group is there, Vegeta, Kakarot, Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien, Krillin, Gohan, there is also Videl, and 18 are there as well.

Smirking I make my way over to them while making sure to give them my signature greeting, which is just compressed air that is formed when I punch, of course, I made sure that the attacks I sent are as powerful as each person there, except Videl. Watching them all suddenly block my attack with relative ease, put a smile on my face knowing that they still have power they're hiding, except Vegeta or Piccolo, I've trained with them enough to know their full strength.

Sage-"Hahaha, It seems you guys have made some improvements over the years, you guys better give me some fun when we fight."

Vegeta-"Tch."

Goku-"Hey Sage, it's been a while."

Tien-"Yeah, it seems you haven't stopped training for a moment either."

Piccolo-"...."

Yamcha-"Why does this have to be your way of greeting us."

Krillin-"I know right, he can't just say hi."

Gohan-"Becareful Sage, there are other people here."

18-"Tsk."

Sage-"I'm surprised you guys all decided to participate, and I'm especially surprised you're even here Kakarot."

Vegeta-"Tsk, we are fighters, of course we would be here."

Piccolo-"What he said."

Tien-"I'm a Dojo master, so this is a great opportunity to increase my Dojo's reputation."

Krillin-"I'm a martial artist."

Yamcha-"I just heard everyone was coming so I decided to participate as well."

18-"I want the cash prize money."

Sage-"What about you Kakarot?"

Goku-"Well you see I haven't explained it yet but my situation is quite unique."

I already knew he could only stay in the living world for a day, but from how he avoids my answer, it seems he hasn't told anyone yet. But before he could explain any further, I heard two voices that I haven't heard in over 3 decades.

Zucci-"Hahaha, look at all these strong people that Kakarot knows. I'm definitely going to have fun!"

Onon-"Yeah, they're definitely strong, but shouldn't we see our son first?."

Turning around, I spot my mother and father, who look the exact same as they did 3 decades, shocked at seeing them here, I call out to them.

Sage-"Mother, Father!?"
