Chapter 1

There was a 13 year old boy named Goken, his mother was Pan, but did  not know his father.  
He was unusually strong for his age and kept getting in fights, and quite frankly, beating the 
$h!t out of the other boys.  So his mother told him to use his strength in a 
more..."pro-active"...sort of way, by entering in the Tenachi Budokai tournament.  So Goken 
spent endless weaks training every day after school and on weakends for the tournament.  
He also went to his grandfather Goten's to train every Saturday.  He even mastered the art 
of the Kamehameha wave.  One weak before the tournament he found himself walking in a field 
he had never been to before.  He was walking towards a big oak tree to take a brake and closed 
his eyes.  "Ahhhhhhh!" he yelled, as he jumped and did a half turn to see what had just startled him.  
Amazingly it was the tree itself! 
"Hello," it said, "I am the Tree of Happiness, you may have heard of my brother the Tree of Might.  
I noticed you laying on me and wanted to know who you were." said the tree in a sleepy, dull voice.
"I am Goken, a fighter of South-east city, and...how are you talking to me?" replied Goken in a haughty 
tone.
"Well I am alive you idiot!  How else would I be talking to you?" said the tree sarcastically, and 
seeming a little more active.
"I wouldn't talk to me like that! KA...ME....!!" he started.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, no need to use that attack on me, I just tend to be a little sensitive 
about the fact that I am one of the four talking trees left, the only other one is the Tree of 
Glory.  But more importantly, where did you learn the kamehameha wave?'' asked the tree.
"From my grandfather Goten, but how do you know about---BEEP BEEP BEEP! oh no! Gotta go, I'll come 
back after the tournament!" Goken said as he flew of.  When he got home he told his mom about the 
tree and explained that's why he was late for dinner.  His mother said "O.K." and they ate a hearty 
meal of steak, rice, pasta and for desert they had pie and vanilla ice cream.  "Mmmmmm, mmmmmmm!" said 
Goken as he took his last bite of pie and rubbed his belly.  "That was the best pie I've ever had!" 
"Well thank you Goken, now take your plate to the sink and get ready for bed, tomorrow is Saturday so 
you've got to go to Grandpa Goten's to train for the tournament.  I heard that Vegeta Jr. is entering, 
and you know your brother Goku Jr. is too.  So you have a big day of training before the tournament on 
Friday." said his mom.
"Okay," said Goken, "I'll go brush my teeth and hop into bed. Good night mom." he said as he went towards 
the bathroom.  The next morning he woke up at 7:45a.m. to get ready. He got up, went to the washroom, put 
on is blue undershirt, his orange training pants and shirt, tied his blue belt around his waist and put on 
is weighted wrist-bands and boots, and went to the kitchen to have breakfast.  "Good morning Goken, your up 
early, here is some eggs and bacon, and a glass of orange juice."said Pan,"And remember, Goku is still 
sleeping so don't be too noisy flying away O.K.?"
"O.K. mom. Bye!" and he opened the door and took off.  On his way to South City to his grandfather's it 
started to rain, just lightly but it was soaking him and weighing him down even more. He ate the 
sandwich his mom gave him and waited for the rain to stop. When it did, about 1/2 an hour later he 
flew to his grandfather's to start training. He got there about an hour later and they started 
training right away. They started with some basic martial arts, and then moved up to energy blasts, 
and finally to the kamehameha. 
"Very good Goken, I don't think even mine and Trunks' double kamehameha against cyber Brolly was stronger!" 
said Goten in a longing sort of voice.
'' Yeah, right! Next time I come for a visit you should tell me about Majin Buu and how your dad and Vegeta 
beat him." suggested Goken.
"You know what? I think I'd like that!" and with that Goken said goodbye and flew home for some much needed 
rest.  A week passed and finally the big day arrived, Goken got up really early and flew right out the door 
without even eating breakfast. He arrived at the Budokai stadium (which had a sellout crowd) and met the other 
contestants in the contestants waiting area. There were some really strong kids that Goken knew from school, 
but none he couldn't handle. The only contestants he was worried about were his brother and Vegeta Jr.  
"Well hello there Goken."said Vegeta in his usual cocky voice, much like his grandfather's. "Since whene 
have YOU entered in the Tenachi Budokai? I always just see you beating up little weaklings in the schoolyard! 
Hahaha! See you in the third round, if you make it! Hahaha!" said Vegeta as he walked away. 
"Don't let him get to you," said his brother, "I'm sure you'll knock him out of the ring in 5 minutes!"
"Thanks."replied Goken. Well, as he suspected, Goken made it find threw the first 2 rounds, but now he had 
to face Vegeta, and he was always a dirty fighter, using energy blasts and going Super Saiya-Jinin front of 
all these people. But hey, whatcya gonn do? Finally the moment came, and Goken and Vegeta walked out onto the 
ring accompanied by the roar of fans waiting for this fight as if it were the finals. Once on the ring Goken 
and Vegeta made the manditory hand shake, in which both of them squeezed the other's hand as hard as they could, 
both there knuckles going white and then beat red. 
"Nice grip," said Vegeta as he relesead his hand,"I see you've been training, but be warned, so have I!"
In a few moments the match was underway, it seemed pretty calm at the beginning,  minor hits and a lot of evading 
from both sides. But once Vegeta was about to fall out of the ring and he fired an energy blast and bounced 
himself of the ground.
"Hey! No fair!" yelled Goken.
"Fighting seldom is!"replied Vegeta. So they continued, Goken pouring on the attack now, and hitting Vegeta 
with a good blow every second or third punch. Pretty soon though they were matched blow for blow and the match 
seemed at a stalemate. So Vegeta made another dirty play and turned to SSJ. For a brief moment the crowd 
stopped cheering and just stared blankly, until Goken did the same and everyone started to cheer again. 
"Not bad Vegeta,"said Goken,"I see you HAVE been training!" and he lept accross the ring and hit him hard 
in the gutt.
"PLUH!" Vegeta groaned as Goken hit him. And he doubled the blow right in Goken's face. "Dush!" and Goken 
took a step backward's and flew into the air. 
"So, you wanna fight for real?!"Goken tempted him."KA.....ME.....!"
"NO! HE WOULDN'T!!! HE COULDN'T?!?!" Vegeta started.
"HAAAA.....MEEEE......!!!" just then he flew down right beside Vegeta and..."HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!" 
and a huge blue beam of Ki hit him right in the chest, he had no time to block it, Vegeta just had 
enough to put a hand in front of his face before the blast hit him and knocked him right out of the stadium!
"There!" said Goken in a finalizing tone.
"Well I think we have our champion even though it is only the 2nd round. Because there is no one 
left who could overpower this young man in our competition. 
"YYYYEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"sounded the defining roar from the crowd. But it suddenly stopped 
as a glowing figure stood abouve the ring and Goken said "Oh-my-god!" as he looked up at him and senced his 
power level.
