Chapter 131: Food before a Fight

Soren watched as the Supreme Kai began freaking out and trying to drag Kibito back to The Sacred World of The Kai's. Soren then gave a sigh before placing his hand on top of the Supreme Kai's head, keeping him in one place, while calming him down a bit, Soren then made the Supreme Kai face him, and began to speak.

[Don't worry about Beerus, I have him under control… But I want you to continue your search for someone who may be targeted in the tournament, I will deal with everything else]: soren

The Supreme Kai was shocked to hear Soren's words, and in a confused tone spoke to Soren.

[But wont Bibidi be after you?... You are the one we need to protect]: sk

[Haha, if Bibidi had the balls to have his men attack me, I would let him take my energy… Bibidi already knows of my presence, he is looking for someone who would be unsuspecting]: soren

[Oh!... This is true… Bibidi isn't very powerful on his own, but his power lies in controlling others with magic]: sk

[Exactly! So no matter what happens, Bibidi won't attack me, because he couldn't get away with it… But he would love to get my energy though]: soren

After Soren explained that he was safe for Bibidi's greedy sights, he pushed the Supreme Kai into looking for other candidates. It was then that the Adult contestants were called to start the preliminaries, Soren, Kibito, and the Supreme Kai all walked into a big room with hundreds of contestants surrounding a punching machine and a Staff member of the WMAT. Soren saw the Z fighters grouped together and powered down from SSJ4 before leaving the Supreme Kai's side to go stand with them. Soren was then joined by both Killua and Gon who also decided to join when they heard Soren would be competing.

[Hey there brother… Gon and I heard you were joining so we decided to fight as well… I can't wait to face you once more after so many years, good luck! Goku and Vegeta have gotten quite strong, I can tell from their pressure]: killua

[Hey Kill~! I didn't know you were in town, it really has been quite some time since we fought… I look forwards to facing you as well, good luck in the preliminaries!]: soren

Killua then went off with Gon who just gave Soren a nod, and when Soren was about to wait until it was his number being called, the announcer began to explain how the preliminaries will be held.

[Greetings to all participants! I will be the announcer for the rules of the preliminaries this year… Due to our hero who defeated Cell, Mr. Satan being here to challenge the winner of the Tournament, we will be gauging who passes the preliminaries off of who is closer to Mr. Satan's score on this punching machine… Now, if I may have the honor of having Mr. Satan start off the preliminaries]: announcer

The announcer then bowed before backing away and letting the Shit for brains idiot known as Hercule Satan, up to the punching machine, Hercule then turned to the crowd before trying to use his false fame to gain attention.

[Hahaha… Yes, I am the Hero who defeated Cell… I will be setting the standards for the preliminaries here, hehe… Good luck to all of you, and I look forwards to facing the winner of this tournament]: hercule

Hercule then turned his attention to the punching machine and pulled his fist back into a punch before giving his little war cry and punching with all of his power.

[SATAN PUNCH!]: hercule

Hercule's punch landed on the machine and the score started to calculate a score between 100-500, before it registered at 137. The announcer took a look at the numberthat registered on the punching machine and began to freak out while sweating, before announcing how great Hercule's punch was.

[A-am I dreaming!?... Could my eyes possibly be looking at a score of 137 points!?]: announcer

When the crowd heard how stunned the announcer was, they began to give off "Ooh" and "Ahh" while Hercule was breathing heavily, and giving off his smile that said "Praise me! I the great Hercule Satan, have achieved a score of 137 points" The crowd then cheered loudly as Videl was taking in the sight of her amazing father, she then saw Gohan and started calling out to him. Gohan was wearing his Great Saiyaman outfit which consisted of a White bandana with Black shades, a Compression Shirt, some Compression Tights, with a Green Sleeveless Cardigan, while wearing a Red Cape, and a Belt with a Gold Buckle, and a nice pair of White Gloves. Gohan also wore a Silver wristwatch that would hold the outfit when Gohan was not wearing it, this really made Soren think of Gohan as a Chunibyo, for how he dressed like a trashy superhero to fight crime.

[Oh! Gohan! Over here!]: videl

Gohan just gave her the peace sign and came over, while Hercule began to leave to his office, but gave another round of morall before he left. Some contestants began to think that they had no chance since Hercule was such a "Beast" while others thought that it would still be fun to challenge him, win or lose.

[Okay, contestants! Come up and draw numbers to decide the order you fight in… And the Junior League will follow Mr. Smith over here]: announcer

All the kids left for their Tournament while everyone began to pick ticket numbers, the contestants then started lining up in the order of their ticket numbers and took turns punching the machine and getting their scores taken down on a chalkboard.

[Number 6, got 97 points… Pretty shabby, 61 points… Oh! We might have a contender! Number 76, scores 112 points… Next one up is Number 84]: announcer

It was finally 18's turn to punch the machine, but before she went up Krillin stopped her and told her to limit herself. 18, then walked up to the machine while getting some whistles from the other male contestants, and some comments like how a pretty girl like her shouldn't be here fighting, but in a kitchen making a man happy. 18 then readied herself, and the announcer spoke up telling her to go any time she wishes, 18 then punches the machine as light as she could, the machine began to calculate for a moment before registering her score, shocking the announcer.

[... What the! She scored a 774 with a tap!]: announcer

The man that originally said something about cooking in the kitchen shit himself and left the WMAT in fear for his life, everyone else was just shocked and a bit scared at how strong 18 was. The announcer then cleared his throat before trying to explain to 18 that there must be some technical difficulties.

[I'm sorry, but we seem to be having technical difficulties… Please wait a moment]: announcer

Krillin then popped up out of nowhere and quietly whispered to 18.

[What the hell… You said you were going to hold back]: krillin

[I did… It's hard pretending to be weak you know]: 18

The announcer then finished messing with the machine before turning to 18 and telling her to retry her punch, 18 just gave a sigh before trying to make her punch any more weaker than before, 18 then punched the machine and watched as it began to calculate before registering in a 203.

[T-Two Hundred and Three?]: announcer

Krillin then stepped up and punched the machine with a tap, the announcer then spoke up.

[Number 85 scored 192!]: announcer

Goku then came up and punched the machine with just a slight tap, the announcer then announced.

[Number 86 scored 186 points!]: announcer

Videl then came up to watch all of what was going down, only to see the group of people that were with Gohan earlier, she then thought back on what Soren had told her, and began to contemplate. Piccolo then came up to the punching machine and gave it a finger tap, the announcer then spoke.

[Number 87 scored 210 points!?... What is going on!?... I think it's safe to say that this punch machine is completely broken, lets swap it out for a new one]: announcer

Vegeta then came up and faced the machine before reading himself.

[Stand back!...]: vegeta

Vegeta then threw a punch the obliterated the machine into pieces, he then began to walk off leaving the announcer stunned and sweaty. They then quickly ran to get a new punch machine while Goku then turned to Soren and Gohan, and told them to hurry up, and that they were going to go watch the kids battle. Soren then had both Zeno and Zenith run up to him while Gohan stayed next to Videl to try and explain to her what just happened without revealing to her that what Soren said was true about them being able to destroy the whole world with one attack.

[Aw great!... Now I won't be able to see who wins between Goten and Trunks]: zeno

[Why do you care so much?]: soren

[You don't know dad?... Both Goten and Trunks like Shizu, and are going to fight for her hand in marriage]: zenith

[They WHAT!?... Not on Grandpa's watch, I will cut their little brother within an inch if they try and touch my cute little Shizu]: soren

[Calm down dad, I like both Goten and Trunks… And I trust them to not try anything with Shizu, without consent]: zeno

[I'll show that Goku, and that Vegeta how to raise their children right]: soren

Soren was a bit mad due to him just recently meeting his granddaughter, and now he found out that she already had suters after her. Soren then waited 30 minutes while catching up with both Zeno and Zenith, he found out that Zenith found a nice girl and they were trying to have a child, but they had no luck in doing so, soon the new machine was brought out and the test continued.

[Number 121… Please come up]: annoncer

Soren then noticed his number was called and started walking up, he turned when he heard both his children and Gohan telling him to go easy on the machine, so they didn't need to wait for another one. Soren nodded and walked up to the machine, he then took his finger and pointed it at the machine, he then pulled it back and Gohan had a look of dread in his eyes.

[No… He wouldn't…]: gohan, zeno, zenith

[He wouldn't what?]: videl

Soren then jammed his finger at the target in a soft manner, the machine didn't brake. The score then began to calculate with Soren, Gohan, Zeno, and Zenith hoping Soren got a low score, the score then registered, and the announcer almost puked blood, Soren had his eyes closed praying for a low score, then the announcer spoke.

[Number 121, has a score of 1152!?]: announcer

[FUCK!]: soren

Soren then opened his eyes and shouted while Gohan, Zeno, and Zenith all thought the same thing. The announcer then began to speak while saying the line nobody wanted to hear.

[How could this be possible?... This machine must be broken to, we will go get another one right away]: announcer

[NO! Stop! Give me a passing score of 150, then score the rest]: soren

Soren didn't want to use his MS, but he didn't want to wait for another 30 minutes to try and be weak once more. The announcer was then compelled to make Soren's score 150 and pass him on, then, Zeno, Zenith, and Gohan took their turns scoring passing scores, Videl then took her punch and passed, and the preliminaries were then ranked as so.

1): Goku

2): Piccolo

3): Vegeta

4): 18

5): Krillin

6): Soren

7): Zeno

8): Zenith

9): Gohan

10:) Videl (A/N: These are not scores in order, just how I placed them)

Soren then walked towards the food banquet, he was followed by Zenith, as Gohan, Videl, and Zeno went to go watch the rest of the Junior League to see who won. Soren already knew that Trunks would win due to him telling Goten that he would let him pick out some toys from his room, so he wasn't really interested in the matches, Soren then began to eat food along with Zenith, and a little while later Goku and crew came to join them.

[Hey Soren! Already here I see… Scoot over, I wanna sit too]: goku

Soren then made some room and let Goku sit next to him while the other sat in the remaining chairs. The table was then filled with even more food than before, Soren and everyone else began to fill up while Videl just watched in horror, as the mountain of food was gone in seconds.

[More please!]: goku

Goku then ordered more food, while asking Gohan to pass him some rice, Krillin even dropped the Saiyan bomb, in which Videl heard while remembering the term used earlier to describe Soren. Gohan quickly shut Krillin up by covering his mouth with his hand.

[Oh! Sorry Gohan, I'll shut up now… You know what, I just won't even talk no more]: krillin

Goku then turned to Soren and asked what his score was, and if he passed.

[You know I passed, as for my score… I tried to hit it as light as I could, but still ended up getting a 1152. The announcer tried to waste time by getting a new machine, but I stopped him and told him to give me a 150, he did and I passed with that]: soren

[It's so hard to pretend to be weak]: krillin

[What was that?]: videl

[Krillin!]: gohan

[OH! Sorry Gohan!... It was nothing]: krillin
