You're in Danger, Great Saiyaman - Guard Yourself Against Camera Attacks!?

A guy with a spiked shoulder pad and a skull on his necklace holds up his fist and grins at his opponent. He leaps forward, screaming, and smashes something (not a person, but due to either the very brief amount of time we see it or the quality of the fansub, I can't tell exactly...). The crowd cheers and he holds his arms up in victory until another guy flies in out of nowhere and throws him out of the way. A reporter runs up to him. "Where do you come from?" He smiles. "I'm from Satan City. Fortunately I was able to train at the Satan dojo."

Videl wanders, looking around. "Isn't Gohan-kun here yet?" A voice yells, "Videl!" She turns to the source. "Sharpener?" Sharpener, in a white tux and carrying roses, jumps off a brick wall he was sitting on. He holds the flowers out to her, smiling. He closes his eyes. "Videl, these are down payments on your victory celebration." Videl doesn't even look at him, but instead continues looking for Gohan. She now sports an annoyed expression. "Really." Shot down, but not discouraged, Sharpener drops his flowers and pulls out a camera. "I'm going to take pictures of you when you look cool." We now see the back of Videl's head in Sharpener's viewfinder. "Really." Sharpener, "Videl, did you cut your hair?" Videl, "Can't you tell by looking?" Sharpener lowers his camera and turns around. "There's a shop near here with really delicious juice." Videl's annoyed expression suddenly disappears and she smiles as she spots the Great Saiyaman. She runs off after him. "Will you go there with me after the competition?" An arm tugs on his sleeve and he looks down to see a smiling child with a finger in her mouth. She nods, and then the 'camera' reveals that a whole group of children has gathered around him. Sharpener recoils and starts looking around. "Vi...Videl!"

The Z Senshi (who will be fighting) continue on their way to the changing room. Trunks, with a bag slung over his shoulder, turns to Goten. "Goten, you look just like your dead dad." Goten, "Really?" He looks back at his father, who's talking to Kuririn while Gohan walks on his other side. Trunks, "Wasn't he incredibly strong?" Goten, "Yeah!" Trunks, "He doesn't look that way. My dad looks a lot stronger." Goten, "But Brother said dad is the strongest in the universe."

Goku looks down at Kuririn. "Did you have hair?" Kuririn, "I told you that I shaved it." Goku thinks for a moment, then asks, "Why'd you let it grow? I think you look better without it." Juuhachigou walks by. Kuririn, "Well, this and that..." Goku suddenly looks up, smiling. "That's Juuhachigou! Hi Juuhachigou!" She stops and looks back at him. "Hadn't you noticed me before just now? Idiot." Goku, "Why is Juuhachigou here?" Kuririn, "We're living together at Muten Roshi's house." Goku, "Eh?! Does that mean you and Juuhachigou are...?" Kuririn nods. "We have a kid, too. She was back there, she's a little girl." Goku, "What a surprise!" Juuhachigou, "Idiot." She starts walking again. Goku turns back to Kuririn. "Can a robot have a baby?" Kuririn, "She's not a robot! She's a human with a few extras." Gohan smiles as he listens in. Goku, "I see. Congratulations." Kuririn, "Thanks."

A pair of yellow boots approaches. "You're Gohan-kun, aren't you?" In Gohan's sunglasses, Videl stands with her arms crossed. "Videl-san." Videl, "I knew that was you! Gohan-kun, why are you dressed like that?" He holds his finger up to his mouth, signaling for her to quiet down.

Now they're off in their own little corner with Gohan's back to a wall a few feet behind him. "I'm the Great Saiyaman." Videl, "Ah, so that's what you're doing." Gohan, "Videl-san, have you gotten flying down yet?" She holds up her hand, smiling. "Just watch." She lifts off and begins flying around over the "park" (for lack of a better term, or at least lack of my ability to come up with one right now). Gohan follows her and ends up flying alongside her. She speeds up and he follows, and they eventually land on a balcony. "Don't hold back on me, Gohan-kun." Gohan, "We're about even." Videl turns when she hears footsteps, and Sharpener walks up behind her, roses in hand. "Videl." Gohan, "Bye." He starts walking into whatever building the balcony comes out of, but Sharpener grabs his cape. He stops. "Hold it there. Who are you?" Videl, "That's the Great Saiyaman." Sharpener, "Him?" He lets go of the cape. "You two are acting really friendly. Videl, "That's because we've worked together helping out the police. Isn't that right, Great Saiyaman?" She winks. Nervously, Gohan replies, "Yeah, that's right." Sharpener spins around. "Who are you?!" Videl, "No one knows who he is. Not even me. Isn't that right, Great Saiyaman?" Gohan, still nervous, "Yes..." Sharpener starts to get angry/annoyed. He mimics Videl. "'Isn't that right, Great Saiyaman?' What's that?" Videl turns around, putting her hands on her hips. "Are you jealous, Sharpener?" Sharpener is surprised (and angry). "Don't be stupid!"

Over a loudspeaker, "Everyone signed up for the Tenkaichi Budokai, please hurry to the eliminations. They will start now. Everyone signed up for the Tenkaichi Budokai, please hurry to the eliminations. They will start now." Videl turns away from Sharpener. "Great Saiyaman, we have to hurry." She grabs his hand and Gohan's not quite sure how to react, so he gets even more nervous and uncomfortable. "Videl-san! What are you doing?!" She leans on his shoulder as they walk out together. "Let go of me!" Sharpener, of course, gets angry watching them leave. "Damn it!" He throws the roses to the ground. "Who the hell are you, Great Saiyaman?!"

The fighters all gather. Reporter, "Thank you very much!" The fighter she had just been interviewing walks away. She turns to her cameraman. "That looks like the last of the fighters. Let's go to the ring." Then the two of them spot the approaching Z Senshi and run to greet them. "Hi! Where are you from?" Vegeta and Piccolo keep walking without even acknowledging them. The reporter asks her cameraman, "Didn't those two look familiar...?" Cameraman, "Really?" Reporter, "But where have I seen them?" Goku, Kuririn, Goten, and Trunks approach. Goku and Kuririn are smiling as they converse. "What happened to the dots on your forehead?" Reporter, "Hi!" She runs up to them. "Where are you from?" Goku, "Where? I'm from the afterlife." He points to the sky. Reporter, "Huh?" She laughs. "What a jokester." Goku, "That's not a joke." The cameraman notices his halo. Reporter, "That's an interesting accessory you have on your head." She points to his halo. "That's not an accessory. When you die..." Piccolo has been listening in from nearby. He looks over at them and his eyes glow. Suddenly, the camera explodes. Goku smiles. "Piccolo hasn't changed a bit." Kuririn grins. Reporter, "Why did you break the camera!? You just destroyed all of today's footage!" The Z Senshi walk by while she scolds her cameraman. "I wonder why it broke. I've never seen this before."

Attendant, "Everyone who needs to change his clothes, please use this room. We don't have much time, so please hurry." Vegeta opens a locker and begins putting his things in. Trunks changes his clothes. "I wanted to fight with the adults." Kuririn ties his shoes; a poster on the wall behind him as Satan in a victory pose. "It's too bad for everyone else that we're here." He looks at the poster as he speaks. "We're the only ones that'll give us a fight." He smiles. A bunch of girls scream, "Wow! He's handsome!" as one of the fighters signs autographs. Nearby, Piccolo leans back against a wall with two attendants in front of him. "Um, you look a little pale. Are you okay?" Piccolo, "Leave me alone! I've always been this color!" Both attendants get scared and apologize before running away. Gohan walks up to Piccolo and Sharpener peers out from behind the bushes. "What's so special about the Great Saiyaman?" He holds up his camera, but the huge crowd goes rushing over in that direction and tramples him.

Goten is with Goku when Gohan, Kuririn, Piccolo, and Trunks approach. Trunks, "Sorry to keep you waiting!" Goku stands up. "Let's go." Sharpener, now sporting footprints all over, pops up behind them. "Damn it... I'll wait for my chance to unmask him!"

--COMMERCIAL--

Laughing, Goten and Trunks run through a dark corridor. They run down a few stares and emerge outside as the other Z Senshi come up behind them. Most of the participants are training in a big open area, doing pushups or throwing punches or whatever else. Goku, "Look at all these people. Wow." Vegeta, "They're nothing but small fry." The announcer adjusts his sunglasses. "It's you!" He runs over to them and Kuririn and Goku smile when they recognize him. Goku waves. Announcer, "Today's a great day. I never thought I'd see you again. It's so nice to see you. I've waited for you to come here again." He gets in close to Goku and whispers, "I bet Mr. Satan didn't defeat Cell, I bet it was you guys. I know that." Goku and Kuririn giggle. "To tell you the truth, without you guys, the Tenkaichi Budokai has been boring. The level's been really low." He looks around at Vegeta, Juuhachigou, and everyone else. "Are you all together?" Goku, "Yeah." Announcer, "That's great!" He looks back behind Goku and says to Piccolo, "Try not to destroy the ring like you did last time, okay?" Piccolo, "We'll see." Announer, "I'm so excited. This Tenkaichi Budokai is going to be exciting! By the way, what's that thing over your head?" Goku smiles. "I'm dead. I got killed at the Cell Game. I got special permission to return from the dead for today." The announcer just stares quizzically as the background turns to question marks. He waves it off. "Okay, okay. It's odd, but I wouldn't put anything past you. I don't care if you're dead or alive." Gohan smiles. "There's someone here who's known Dad for a long time."

The announcer laughs and approaches Trunks and Goten. "i'm sure one of you will win." He puts a hand on Goten's and Trunks' heads. Goten smiles, and Trunks just looks annoyed. "I'm waiting to see you in the ring." He waves and leaves. "Put on a great show!" The Z Senshi watch him go, but their attention is suddenly drawn to the screaming crowd. Mr. Satan stands in the doorway, his arms in the air. "Get in line if you want my autograph! I'll give it away free to the first fifty people!" One man yells, "Mr. Satan!" Then he and a few others begin chanting "SA-TA-N!" and within a few sayings of "Satan," the entire crowd is doing it. Kuririn, "Idiots only quit when they're dead." Sharpener crawls up onto the building from which the Z Senshi emerged a few minutes prior. "...But I don't think even that would work against him." He laughs. "If I can take off his cap, I'll know who he is!!"

"Let's go." The Z Senshi begin walking just as Sharpener prepares to jump, but Gohan remains in place. Sharpener climbs out of the building. Just as he jumps, Gohan notices something on the ground and crouches down. Sharpener misses by inches and crashes into the ground. Gohan picks up a frog. "Hm?" Sharpener sits on his head with his legs in the air, the tiles cracked underneath him. He finally falls over all the way and lands on his back. "Just a little sooner..."

"Okay everyone, it's time for the eliminations. Excepting the youth division, there are 194 people entered this year. Of those people, only sixteen can compete in the Tenkaichi Budokai. And since Mr. Satan, the champion from last time, gets in, only fifteen of you will be allowed to enter." Sharpener talks to a couple kids near a fountain. He holds out a water gun and they both nod. Goku, "What's going on?" Eliminations guy, "We'll use a punching machine to decide who gets to enter. The top fifteen scores on the punching machine will continue to the Tenkaichi Budokai."

Kuririn, "Punching machine? What's that?" As two attendants carry the machine out, Sharpener crouches behind a man so he can take a picture of Gohan through his legs. One of the children walks up to Gohan and sprays his sunglasses with water. Sharpener, "You're mine now!" He raises his camera, focuses... Gohan takes off his sunglasses to dry them off, but both his hand and a man who jumps up in the last minute block his face. Sharpener takes the picture, but realizes he didn't get it. "I almost had him!"

"Mr. Satan will hit the punching machine as an example and so that we can see his score. Please go, Champion Mr. Satan." Satan throws off his cape and holds up his belt. He screams. "Who thinks they can beat me!?" The whole crowd (composed entirely of people who are going to be competing with him, no less) cheers. Kuririn, "There's lots of people here who can beat you." Satan walks up to the machine, still yelling. Videl, at the front of the crowd, turns and waves to Gohan, who cranes his neck above the crowd and waves back. The second kid tugs his cape. "Mister." Gohan turns around. "Hm?" Kid, "Can you hold me up?" Gohan complies, and the kid sits on his shoulders. Sharpener raises his camera. "I've got you now!" The kid suddenly yells out happily and takes Gohan's sunglasses. Gohan immediately ducks his head down. Before the camera's even finished, Gohan's got his sunglasses back. "I did it! Even though I didn't clearly see his face, I'm sure the camera got him! I've discovered your true identity, Great Saiyaman!"

"Take all the pictures you want!" Mr. Satan raises his arms up and yells again while everyone raises their camera. He poses. Piccolo, "How long is he going to keep this up?" His eyes glow briefly, then every camera explodes. Sharpener is stunned, and obviously disappointed. "My camera!! And I worked hard for that picture!" Everyone examines their cameras and Satan simply stands there. Gohan turns to Piccolo. "Piccolo-san." Piccolo, "I've even destroyed all of the spectator cameras. In the heat of battle, your disguise might get taken off. The people at your school won't know it's you. Now you can fight as hard as you want." Gohan smiles. "Thanks, Piccolo-san."

Mr. Satan, "What just happened? Too bad, I'll just have to do this without the media." He approaches the punching machine. There's a drumroll as he prepares himself. He pulls back his arm, concentrates... All eyes are on Mr. Satan (well, I imagine Vegeta doesn't give a damn, but they didn't show him, so...). With a yell, Satan smashes his fist into the punching machine. It flashes random numbers while it calculates his score. Finally, it settles on 137. "He got 137! He got 137 points!" The crowd is amazed. Satan's hands are on his hips as he heaves. Videl cheers. "Papa, you're great!" Mr. Satan walks back into the building, but before he disappears, he turns around once more and waves. "Do your best, everyone! I'm waiting for an opponent who can give me a good fight!"

"Okay everyone, please draw a number and line up for the punching machine." An attendant raises his hand. "And all of you kids who are going to the youth division, please gather over here." One spectator comments, "With these people, I think Satan's going to win again." Kuririn smiles. "Do your best, kids." Trunks and Goten are still obviously unhappy about being in the youth division. Goku looks around. "Isn't Tenshinhan coming?" Kuririn looks up at him. "He did say that he'd probably never see us again..."

Later, everyone having drawn numbers, the eliminations begin. One man scores 97. "Number 6, 97 points." In the back, an attendant records the score. Another man. "Number 16, 77 points." A group of girls stands around Videl, who's stretching out. "Do your best, Videl. Be sure to win." Videl ignores them. Another contestant punches. "What an incredible score! Number 83, 112 points." Vegeta stands in line with his arms crossed. "This is stupid." The man looks up from his clipboard after writing down the last score. "Next, number 84." One man, "Look, it's a girl. And she's pretty hot." Another, "I'd like to fight her!" Juuhachigou steps up to the punching machine as Kuririn says, "Don't punch too hard or you'll break the machine." Juuhachigou, "I know that." She walks up to the machine and without even facing it, taps it with her left arm. 774. The fat man who's been reading off scores and handling the eliminations is stunned. "Seven hundred seventy four points?!" Everything stops. Videl looks up from her stretching. The man walks up and apologizes to Juuhachigou. "Sorry, it looks like the machine is broken. Please wait." Kuririn, "I told you not to hit too hard!" Juuhachigou, "It's hard to punch that lightly." The fat man turns to her. "It looks like it's fixed. Please try again." She gets into real position this time and taps it as lightly as she can. 203. The man is once again shocked. "203 points..." Kuririn goes. "Number 85, 192 points." And then Goku, "Number 86, 186 points." Videl pushes her way to the front of the crowd. Piccolo hits it the same way Juuhachigou did the first time, tapping it with his arm while not even facing the machine. 210. "Number 87, 210 points." He turns to an attendant. "It looks like this is broken. Ready the other punching machine." The attendant agrees.

Vegeta steps up to the machine and waves people off to either side. "Out of the way." He pulls back and punches, and the machine slides back and crashes into a tree, which then breaks in half. The fat man and an attendant watch with bulging eyes. Attendant, "I don't believe it." Goku smacks himself in the head in that "I can't believe he did that" sort of way. Gohan, "Damn..." Videl's mouth hangs open in surprise. As everyone stares in shock, Vegeta crosses his arms and walks away.
