The plane shakes as it encounters a little bit of turbulence. Gencha, our hero, sits uncomfortably in his seat, trying to rest. But alas, with his long tail, he is unable to. 

“In just a few moments we will be landing on Papaya Island. Home of the World Martial Arts Tournament. At this time, we ask that you remain in your seats and make sure your lap belts are securely fastened.” The loudspeaker says

“And smash my tail even more? No thanks, I’m good.” Gencha says, referring to the loudspeaker. Just then, the plane rocks a bit, sending Gencha leaning to his left and right into Bulma. 

“OUCH!” Bulma yelps

Gencha quickly looks down to find that one of his horns had landed right into Bulma’s chest. 

“GAH!!” Gencha quickly yells as he springs up, “I-I’m so sorry, Bulma!” His tail accidentally hits another passenger in the face

“Hey! Get that stupid thing out of my face!” the Man says, swatting Gencha’s tail away. 

“S-Sorry!” Gencha says

“Always attracting a crowd I see.” Bulma says

Gencha turns to Bulma in shame. “S-Sorry. Can’t really help it. I mean….when you look like….THIS...it’s hard not to stand out.” Gencha says

“Well, it’s alright, cause we’re finally here!” Yamcha says, noting how Gencha does indeed attract a crowd. 

“Yeah! And this time, you’re gonna win, Yamcha!” Puar says, praising Yamcha

“Yamcha could be the champion of the tournament IF I let him win.” Krillin says, smugly. 

“Yeah sure, and to keep things fair, I’ll tie my hands and keep my eyes closed.” Yamcha says

“You sure do fight like you did.” Gencha says with a chuckle

Yamcha grunts

“Besides, let’s not forget who fought Jackie Chun in the Finals last time. If anything, this is my chance to win!” Gencha says proudly. 

Gencha nearly won the World Martial Arts tournament last time. He fought in the finals against a mysterious fighter by the name of Jacki Chun, who in the end, won. 

“Not to put a damper on this, but aren’t you boys forgetting something? Or should I say, Someone. Namely, Goku.” Bulma says

“Goku...shmoku. My money’s on Jackie Chun.” Oolong remarks

Roshi ends up making a scene as he begins demanding that the plane lands or that they give him a parachute to jump. After that, Gencha and the rest of the group silently sit for the rest of the Plane Ride. 

After landing, they exit the airport and make their way to the road. They get into some cabs and drive to the Competition hall.  The car stops and they all get out. The three Roshi students; Krillin, Yamcha, and Gencha are all wearing matching Tuxedos. 

“Feels great to be back, it’s like I never left.” Krillin says

“Yeah.” Yamcha says

“I just look forward to seeing how Goku has improved. But I ain’t too worried.” Gencha says

“Why is that?” Yamcha asks

“Because...I’ve been training with Master Korin. I should be the best out of all of you now.” Gencha sats

“You’ll be eating those words in the tournament.” Yamcha says with a smirk
