Age 767, May 26th

  The days had flown by until it was the day of the tournament and Gohan was on the lookout with Trunks, Piccolo, Krillin, Dende, and Mr. Popo, when Goku appeared with Raditz.

  “Today’s the day guys… where’s Vegeta?” Goku asked looking around.

  “He decided to go on ahead.” Trunks replied looking at him.

  “Well, I guess it’s time for us to go.” Goku said as he looked at everyone.

  “Wait Goku there’s something you need to know.” Krillin said looking at Goku, “The dragon can bring back multiple people at once, but it can’t bring back anyone who’s died before.” Krillin said looking down at the ground.

  “… don’t worry guys Cell’s isn’t going to win, and none of us is going to die. Now let’s go.” Goku said as he turned around and flew off the lookout heading to the Cell Game arena.

  Gohan and the other’s looked at each other before flying off after Goku, “Good luck guys!” Dende shouted after them.

  --

  While they were heading towards the location of the tournament they ran into Tien and Yamcha who were waiting for them. The group stopped in front of them and greeted them, “We’re coming with you guys but it’s mostly going to be for moral support, we aren’t going to fight.” Yamcha said looking nervous.

  “That’s fine guys, now let’s go.” Goku said as they continued flying towards the arena. The arena was in the middle of a clearing, it was white marble with four pilrs at the four corners of it, there were four people in the ring and two to the side.

  When they nded on the ground, Gohan saw Cell, Vegeta, 16, a news reporter named Jimmy Firecracker, with his cameraman and another tall man, with an afro mustache and some sideburns. Gohan recognized him from the news he was Hercule Satan the current World Marital Arts Champion. Once they nded near the arena a car was seen driving up to the arena and a man came out of it, the man had blonde hair, was wearing sungsses, and had on a navy-blue suit with a red necktie and had a microphone in his hands.

  When he came out of the car the man looked surprised, “No way Krillin is that you, and Tien, and Yamcha” than man said pointing at each of them, “… aren’t you…” the man asked pointing at Piccolo.

  “… oh, hey you are the announcer for the world tournament.” Krillin said cutting the man off. “What are you doing here?”

  “I invited him here, we can’t have a tournament without someone enforcing the rules.” Cell said with a smile. “Now that the roster is complete; we can finally begin.” Cell said smiling, “I see you brought everyone to watch our battle Goku; Raditz, Piccolo, Trunks… Tien.” Cell said gring at Tien.

  “How are you doing?” Tien said smiling at Cell.

  “Perfect… and Yamcha wow, how are you?” Cell said smiling at Yamcha

  “Good...” Yamcha replied nervously

  “That’s good man, thanks for coming.” Cell said smiling at Yamcha.

  “Wait… you’re Goku? Wow I almost didn’t recognize you, because of the hair.” The announcer said looking at Goku, “Now I feel a little relived knowing that you are here.” The announcer sighed looking at Goku.

  “Are you sure that you should be here, it’s going to be dangerous.” Krillin asked looking at the announcer.

  “Don’t worry no harm will come to him… as long as you guys win, because if I win you all die anyway.” Cell said with a smile.

  “Yeah, I missed seeing your guy’s fight in the tournaments, they haven’t been as fun without you guys there.” The announcer whispered to Goku and the others’ who ughed.

  16 soon walked up to them while they were talking to the announcer, “Hey 16 how are you?” Gohan asked as he walked up to him.

  “I am fine, thank you for asking.” 16 said looking down at Gohan, “Krillin thank you for taking me to get repaired.” 16 said looking at Krillin.

  “No problem big guy.” Krillin said smiling at 16.

  “Excuse me a second.” Goku said to the announcer before he walked up 16 and held out his hand, “Hello I’m Goku nice to meet you.”

  “I know who you are, I was created with the sole purpose of destroying you, but I’ve decided not to because it would leave Gohan sad.” 16 said looking down at Goku.

  “Oh, ok thanks I guess.” Goku said as he put down his hand.

  “Well, excuse me I need to go talk to Cell about the bracket.” The announcer said as he walked up to Cell.

  “Oh, don’t worry about any bracket, I just invited you so you can enforce the rules don’t want anyone compining that this tournament was fair.” Cell said with a smile.

  “Ok then let’s get started then, I’ll go first, if you want me to.” Goku said as he walked up to the arena cracking his knuckles.

  “Goku, you don’t have go first.” Trunks said looking at him.

  “Do you want to go first Vegeta?” Goku asked looking at him

  “I don’t care.” Vegeta said looking at Goku, “We all know I’ll beat Cell.” Vegeta said looking at Goku.

  “HEY, DON’T YOU KNOW THAT I HERCULE AM THE CHAMP AROUND HERE, IF ANYONE IS GOING TO SQUASH THIS BUG IT’S GOING TO BE ME!!” Hercule shouted looking at Goku and the others.

  “Actually Mr. Satan we have three champs here.” The announcer said looking at Hercule.

  “… wait what do you mean.” Hercule said looking at the announcer.

  “Well, that man is named Goku, and he is the previous world champion.” The announcer said pointing at Goku, “And that is Tien who was the champion before Goku.” The announcer said pointing at Tien. Most of these men have all been participants in past world tournaments, they always made it to the finals as well. The announcer said as he pointed at Krillin, Yamcha and Piccolo.

  “… what you mean to say that these hillbillies are actual fighters.” Hercule said looking at everyone surprised.

  “Yes, they are, and they’ve been taught by the best, Goku, Krillin, and Yamcha have been taught by the Martial Arts Master, Master Roshi of the Turtle School of Martial Arts. See they have his symbol on their gi.” The announcer said pointing at where the Turtle symbol was.

  “… you mean that Master Roshi…” Hercule asked as his eye went wide.

  “Yes, that one.” The announcer said

  “He’s still alive…never mind, fine that just means that they have some talent but I’m going to go first since I’m the current Champion.” Hercule said as he looked at everyone.

  “I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Goku said looking at Hercule

  “I don’t care what you think, I’m the current world champ so I’m going first.” Hercule said looking at Goku.

  “Goku forget about it we still have the dragon balls if anything goes wrong.” Krillin whispered to Goku.

  “… fine whatever.” Goku sighed, “Go ahead.”

  “Ok dies and gentlemen, it looks like Mr. Satan will be first to fight.” The announcer said looking into the camera.

  “Ok, now that we have everything all sorted out, I can win this.” Hercule said as he took off his cape and tossed it.

  Suddenly a pink helicopter appeared heading towards the arena, pying music and a women’s voice could be heard from the loudspeaker, “Hey, everyone it’s Piiza, Piroshiki, and Caroni and we are—” Cell fired an energy bst at the helicopter destroying it and killing everyone inside.

  “Did… they just die?” Jimmy asked in shock.

  “Don’t be fool Jimmy that must have just been a trick. There was no one in the helicopter it must have been remote controlled and filled with explosives.” Hercule said looking at the burning wreckage.

  “… How thick can this guy get?” Krillin asked looking at the group.

  “Now with that distraction out of the way let’s begin, I’m tired of waiting. Let’s start the Games” Cell said looking at everyone.

  “I guess that’s my cue.” The announcer said as he spoke into his microphone, “Ladies and Gentlemen the Cell Games are about to officially start, the first fight is Mr. Satan vs Cell, the rules are simple you lose if you fall out of the ring, give up, or if you… die.” The announcer said as he grabbed his tie and moved it nervously.

  “Fine if this buffoon wants to go first, I don’t care anymore, we go on your mark, kind sir.” Cell said looking at the announcer.

  “Alright, then let the first match… begin.” The announcer said as he raised his arm and dropped it down.

  Hercule jumped back, as he got into a fighting stance as he stared at Cell, he slowly crept up to Cell before unching himself at Cell, “Dynamite Punch!” Hercule tried punching Cell, but Cell just spped him away into a mountain nearby.

  “… Ladies and Gentlemen, it seems like Mr. Satan has been knocked out of the ring meaning he has lost the battle.” The announcer said, as Jimmy and the cameraman were looking at Hercule in shock.

  “Oww… did I win?” Hercule said in pain.

  “Hmm, looks like he’s still alive, I guess Cell didn’t want to waste his energy on that weakling.” Piccolo said looking at Hercule who was on the ground holding his face in pain.

  “Now that the fool is out of the way let’s start the real tournament. Who’s going to be first?” Cell said looking at the group,

  Goku stepped into the ring slowly, “Let’s do this Cell.”

  “Very well Goku. I was hoping to save you for st, but this will do.” Cell said with a smile as he watched Goku walk in front of him.

  (AN: The announcer has never been named and I didn’t want to give him some random name, so he will be called the announcer for the rest of the volume. I got this idea from Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot as well, the announcer can be found near the Cell games arena right before you face Cell, so I thought why not have him there.)
