It was a rainy evening. The streets were bustling and filled with people; they all seemed to be lost in their own conversations. In the midst of the mob, Master Roshi and Lauch wait for their company to arrive.

— Our friends didn’t arrive yet? — Lauch asks, looking around the area.

They continue to wait, until a taxi arrives. Bulma, Puar, and Oolong come out.

— Waaah, it’s been a while!! — Bulma says, excited to see her friends again.

They catch up with Roshi and Lauch.

Suddenly, an older boy with a cloth wrapped around his head approaches the group. He greets them, but nobody seems to recognize him. The group realizes it’s none other than Goku, and he takes off his cloth to reveal his classic hairdo to prove he’s the real deal. He looks a lot taller than what everyone remembers!

— Bulma, your lips are red! Are you sick? — Goku asks curiously.

— It’s lipstick!! — Bulma retorts.

It was definitely still Goku... Right after, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu arrive. They all managed to meet each other on the way there, so they decided to come together. They all caught up with the group.

— There... We’re all here! — Goku says happily.

An announcement blasted from a megaphone: “Your attention please, all fighters who entered the tournament enter the stadium. The elimination rounds will start in a few moments.” That was their cue. The tournament was about to begin, so Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu made their way to the building. The rest cheered them on.

They arrive inside, and they chat and prepare for the tournament. Goku then spots Piccolo, and the others notice him right after. Goku and Piccolo exchange glances in acknowledgement. A girl with black hair approaches Goku.

— Ah... Goku. — The girl smiles.

— Who are you? — Goku asks.

The girl curses Goku and then storms off angrily. Nobody knew who that was... Everyone then heads down to see who they’re fighting first.
