Tournament Part 1 Kids are crazy

The exposure for the Tournament would defintely help with making things known. Celebrity status and the status of being a martial arts champion defintely would help turn heads more than just talking.

Wearing a martial arts gi that was black and red, the words over the left breast said, Dark King. On the back was a picture of Devil's Hand. Towa was very insistent about it for his future and current self to establish that. Kakarot, Launch, Bongo, Hasky, Pilaf, Mai, and Bulma.

'I just refuse to risk everything to any type of chance; I may not be able to take her out before tournament day using ill means, but nothing to prevent me from using the Multiform and Transformation technique to have multiple me's fight.' Separating into the multiples of himself, then those using their magic to maintain different facial features slightly to help pass off appearance would help take out multiple people at once. 'Alright, you know what to do IV & VI.'

Kakarot IV and VI took off immediately to head to Fiend Village. The call was right in that it wouldn't be solved easily. The Demon Lord Shula had caused quite a bit of trouble. With King Yemma already swamped from having a lack of Ogres after another Prison Break attempt, they needed the help.

"Let's go to sign up at different intervals." They each wore the martial attire, but the multiforms had changed into different races. "Never know who might be paying attention to what we are doing."

Kakarot II looked the most different from the others. A dark green skin tone and the antennae of the Namkeian race. More closely resembles a Dark Namekian in appearance, actually. Over on the left breast was the word Ethnein.

Kakarot the III looked like a member of the Demon Realm around the head area. Only a change to his cheekbones and the brow of his head makes a real difference for matching. That and the striking white hair. Over on the left breast was the word Thalatha.

Kakarot the V looked the most human. Hair looking short, close to old school military cut as he actually found it weird to walk without the additional hair and the lock of a tail. Over on the left breast was the word, Khamsa.

Kakarot the VII looked the closes to Prime Kakarot. The only difference was that the tail was the standard brown of most Saiyans. Over on the left breast was the word, Sab-a

He only used the Arabic numbers to help cement a tribute to his heritage a little. He has already gotten grief from Towa and Kami in regards to the naming of his kids using Italian names.

They weren't the parents, so they could just stuff it.

"Hey, took you long enough." Pilaf said when he finally came over. Feeling Kakarot's energies were tamer, he assumed his boss was just trying to catch people off guard like most. "They wouldn't let people sign up for others."

"That's fine. Just had to prepare is all." Kakarot's dark red tail moved about freely. It just felt more comfortable at times to do so. Considering the increased strength training he did with it lately, it was best to give it a break. "I will head over right now to do so."

The registration area had a few different schools of note.

Wearing the Turtle Hermit clothing of orange and blue were Chichi, Tights, Krillin, Yamcha, Puar and Bora from Korin's Land with them. Defintely more of an exciting change then what he figured would happen.

With Master Shen being dead and Kakarot's multiforms coming across him as part of the people trying to escape from the Other World, it was no surprise at the next set of people he saw in a group.

Mercenary Tao, Chiatzou, Tien, Pump, Pote, and Onion were in attendance as well. With a few miscellaneous members of the Crane School that Kakarot did not recognize in the least. Quite a few of them were from the Subsidiary Dimension of Dragonball: Muscle Tower that Chichi took in.

The group as a whole didn't participate in this Tournament, yet here they were.

"There he is." Tights nudged Chichi. "I can feel his power, definitely higher than the last time I met him when the kids were adopted." Her use of Ki sense was pretty accurate after continuous training.

"Maybe he is hiding it?" Chichi checked for herself but thought there was no way he only increased by this much during the last time they met. 'After taking out King Piccolo and handing him over to Kami, I thought he would have done something to grow stronger.'

"Pretty flashy red." Krillin looked at the gi smiling. "Hmm?" Looking at his senior martial siblings he frowned. He was the youngest and defintely the weakest in the group yet they looked concerned. Puar's magic allowed the shapeshifter to have an advantage over him. 'I will defintely show my stuff in the Tournament! If I fight against Kakarot, I will give it my all!'

The bald little monk still harbored resentment for the Orin Temple situation.

"The eight fighters that make it through the preliminaries will fight in front of the crowd." Master Roshi said to his students. Looking at Kakarot, who his sister Baba said to be careful of with worry. "I will be sitting there in the stands. So if I am able to see you up there, I will be most happy."

Unlike the normal script of him participating, the old Turtle Hermit opted to watch from the stands. Also in part because of a warning from Chichi about Kakarot. She just had a bad feeling in regards to the situation and wanted to be on guard.

"Defintely will be in the top!" Chichi declared. The others chimed in as well. "Only those with Kakarot are people to look out for. Besides Tao's people of course. Better not disappoint like last time, Tien Shinhan."

"Humph, I have grown a lot stronger than last time we sparred, don't worry." The Crane Martial Artist gave her a confident look. He would not lose like before. Or so he thought. "Make sure you have mastered your own techniques."

"What a lively bunch they are." Hasky just shook her head thinking of the money as a bonus for each person she eliminates from the competition. "Think this will be an interesting day?"

The mercenary turned security head leaned against his back. Feeling his tail brush her leg, she wanted to use it for a type of pillow like most. Pilaf even offered to shave it off for them.

"Hope it is boring actually. Interesting means something bad or out of our control will happen." Kakarot continued to observe the people in the Tournament. The scouter calculates each of their values for later use. "A good place for finding future threats at least."

The four people his forces needed to look out for specifically were Chichi, Yamacha, Tights, and Tien. Those were the only ones with more power than his people. Then again, Bulma and Mai's power had been growing by a good deal lately.

Pilaf magic just climbed at a steady rate. Then there was Hasky, the former mercenary was by far the most adapt at fighting than the rest. But it was more for guerilla warfare and explosives added in. She was limited by her body still.

"Hmm... defintely will have to take the time to finish the II Potential Booster for everyone." Then again about the Ultra Divine Water, the team that was sent to get it should have found it in a few days. "Everything feels good around the earth for the most part."

"That is good." Hasky wanted to ask about the Devil's Hand but considering it was the Capital Kakarot's forces and infrastructure, she realized that would be pointless. Most of the magic in the land was used to protect the region. 'I will ask later about transferring there.'

"Hey, what are you two doing here?" Kakarot called out to two of the children. Considering both should be with Pasta in Fiend Village, they better have a good explanation. "Did you fly all the way here by yourselves?"

He immediately contacted Pasta through the Link and boosted it with Telepathy to speak with her better. The woman had made it into the Demon Realm pass the Gateway and was busy with the Multiforms taking care of the situation.

"We didn't want to miss the tournament.. so yes." Ruby looked around and couldn't believe all the fighters. "How many people lost already if this is who is left?"

"I don't think it started yet." Lazuli looked around at the none injured people.

"Ok, not only did you lie to Pasta.. who by the way is worried sick thinking something happened in Fiend Village to your brothers, luckily they are doing just find helping the people." Kakarot spoke sternly as he started reprimanding the two. "Ruby.. where did you get that gourd?"

"I found it..." Ruby moved the little Gourd behind her.

It was the Gourd of Mist, a potent Magic. An item that traps people within it when they do not answer to their name. The ability to create a magical mist that surrounds the victim and shrinks them down before it sucks them in.

After some time, the person would dissolve into water that could later be drunk and pass on the person's power in the process.

"Tell him the truth! We are already in trouble!" Lazuli nudged her to come clean. Ruby froze up seeing Kakarot so mad.

"You could have gotten yourself killed, what were you two thinking?" Hasky reigned in Kakarot as she contacted a few that may have been in the area based on their flight pattern she received from Kakariot via Telepathy.

"We wanted to.. no, I want to be Heroine." Ruby rubbed her arm, embarrassed. "We are stronger than kids and you said.. you said it is up to people with power to do things to change the World for the better."

"I could have stopped her, I should, but it seemed so fun." Lazuli stood by her friend as their eyes welled up.

Several of the participants watched everything take place. Some find it amusing.

"You two are grounded, despite your intentions, you went about it the wrong way." Kakarot kneeled down next to them. Placing a hand on top of their heads, assuring them a little, he was only concerned for their safety. "To get this Gourd.. what happen to Terror and Plague?"

"Umm they are inside the Gourd. The same as Tiger Thief and a small group of bandits." Ruby handed him the Gourd sadden. "I tried to let them go but.. they immediately attacked us again. A few of the villagers were injured in the process."

"It was hard tricking them back into it." Lazuli didn't mind the fact they were gone. "They were bad men."

"Yeah, that does not bother me, but if you go looking for trouble it is bad to make these kinds of decisions. Self-defense, policing, those are issues I can understand. You two are going into Counseling by someone else to make sure this doesn't mess you up."

"Your a Counselor.. I won't talk to someone else." Ruby pouted. "Family talks to Family old man. Not strangers who are paid to make a name for themself." Her presence was a little off putting and nothing like a child just then.

"Hmmm," placing the Gourd away in his Internal Space, he pulled fresh clothes for them. "go change and wait in the crowd with the others. Make sure you are ready to apologize to your brothers and Pasta."

"Wah!" Lazuli and Ruby were pulled up by a force of energy. Towa had her scepter pointed at the two and was pulling them her way. Lunch and Fortuneteller Baba with her pushing strollers. Good thing they knew magic to help with the situation.
