Embark To The Universal Tournament! The Universe 7 Preliminary Begins!

A/N: Don't mind this, just another edited chapter :D

(The Morning Of The Universe 7 Tournament, Kuzuku's Residence...)

The next morning came before anyone could have possibly foresaw it and our young Saiyan had woken up early before the sun had even risen in order to get some stretches in. He wasn't going to lie that the excitement had kept him up almost the entire night and his body was ready for action. He hummed a tune as the early birds began chirping away their songs until the sun began to show itself: causing Kuzuku to take a momentary break from his stretching before flying up high into the sky to get a better view. Before him was the beautiful sun that covered the land with it's light, the wind giving him some cooling.

He smirked, "This sight will never get old. I better head back inside though, don't want to be late since we all gotta leave early in the morning.".

Quickly, he flew back down and landed in his backyard before heading back inside. He had already taken a shower so all he had to do was change into his new Gi before heading out. The young Saiyan closed the door behind him, locking it before taking off towards his mentor's home. The winds were lively today and the clouds were just refreshing the fly through. He looked around, noticing the flocks of birds surrounding him. He remembered back when he and Gohan used to take trips to far away lands. During those times, he was new to the feeling of flying and the most marvelous thing that he came to enjoy was the fact that he could fly next to the wildlife that roamed above. It was a calming feeling, something that contrasted with the excitement he felt from participating in the tournament. Universe 7 was large, so large that calling it simply that was just an understatement. And due to that fact, there are so many unknown fighters that nobody even knows about. Some probably not even partaking in the tournament. The mere thought made his Saiyan instincts tingle, unconsciously forming a grin on his face.

Before long, he caught a glimpse of the home that resided near Mount Paozu. He turned towards the home and dove down in order to land. Slowing down ever so slightly, he touched the soft grass lightly and walked around to get to the front of the house.

There he saw both his training partners had arrived and were waiting along with the entirety of the Son family minus the eldest member. He smirked, walking towards them while calling out, "Hey guys! Am I late or something?".

The sound of his voice caused them all to turn their eyes to him, greeting him with a welcoming smile. Well...most of them except for a certain Namekian who was peacefully standing by.

"No, you are actually right on time! So, are you ready for this tournament Kuzuku?!" Goku asked enthusiastically.

Kuzuku gave him a stern but yet playful look, "Ready? That word doesn't even begin to describe how excited I am.". The older Saiyan chuckled at his feign seriousness.

"That's great to hear. We'll be leaving shortly by the way. We're just waiting for Bulma and the others to arrive," Goku informed.

Kuzuku blinked a few times before replying, "So everyone is coming to watch? If so then that's great!". Goku chuckled nervously, reluctant to burst his bubble.

"Heheh, not exactly...Tien, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu said they couldn't make it. Something about dealing with some problems in the west or something like that. Master Roshi also said he needed to do his 'Once a year intense meditation' and needed to be undisturbed," The hero of Earth explained.

Kuzuku somewhat frowned at the Roshi part, even joking at the claim "Yeah, 'Once a year intense meditation' in a house all by himself? Definitely doing something productive that involves training.". The two shared a short bit of laughter until their voices were drowned by the sound of a Jet landing beside the house.
