Out Of Place (DBZ Various x Reader)

Chapter Eight; Tournament

~(Y/n)'s POV~

Blinking your eyes open, you groaned at the assault your ears were undergoing, and quickly stopped your alarm. You rolled off the couch and yawned. Looking at the clock on your phone, 6:30 glared back at your drowsy eyes. You shivered as the cold floor made contact with your bare feet, and made your way into the kitchen. Out of habit, you opened the cabinet, and you face palmed before shutting it.

"Of course it's empty, you're moving the last of your shit out later, (Y/n)..." You mumbled to yourself, "That means I have to go out and get something." You nodded at your half-assed plan, and then got into your sweats. Tying your shoelaces and checking your phone again, it was 7:00 when you left. You pulled out a capsule, and with a 'bamf' your (f/c) bike sat on the road. You climbed on and took off down the street towards your destination.

You pulled into the drive-through for Krispy Kream, and ordered a dozen donuts and a (favorite fruit combo) smoothie, before taking off again. You slowed to a stop, and got off your bike, putting it back into its capsule. You took in a deep breath of the salty air, and smiled. You grabbed your food and made your way down the abandoned boardwalk. You peeled off your shoes and socks, and let your feet dangle in the water as you ate your breakfast.

Your gaze wandered along the sand, before settling on the horizon, peacefully watching the sun continue its path into the sky. You finished off your smoothies with a loud 'slurp' and the last donut had a home in your belly. You pulled your feet out of the water and you sat there contemplating how the tournament would go. 'I wonder who's gonna win? Maybe it'll be one of the guys... It'd be cool if I won... I wonder if I'm gonna beat any of King Kai's students...' You were snapped out of your thoughts by a loud car horn behind you, and you noted that your feet had dried.

You slid your shoes back on and made your way towards the gym. 'Might as well get some extra cram training in...' When you got there, you saw the doors were open and there was a sign out front that said, '50% off on all new members. Sign up inside.' Mac was at the desk and you waved at her before making your way to your normal spot. The gym was sort of busy, there were a few people there.

As your eyes gazed over the room, you spotted a big afro of hair, and you stopped to stare at him for a few moments. He had a mustache and was sporting an odd outfit that consisted of a maroon gi and a white cape. You rolled my eyes as he grunted loudly as he lifted his weights. You went back to your weights and you wondered why he looked so familiar. It took a few moments, but you figured it out.

His name was Hercule, or something like that, apparently he had been in the tournament a few times when he had been younger, and now he just makes guest appearances. Deciding to ignore him completely, you added five more pounds to your normal workout, and continued with your routine, music blaring in your ears loudly. You jumped a little when your alarm went off, and you sat your weights down, checking the time. It was 11:00 and that meant you had to get back to your apartment, clean up, and then meet up with the others by noon for the tournament. You grabbed your bag, and waved to Mac as you left, before taking off at a comfortable sprint back to your place.

You took a quick shower. When you dried off, you reached for your clothes, and was shocked when you took a look at them. Instead of your work out clothes, you held in your hands the training gi Navi-Sama had given you the night before. A little note rested on top of it. You read it out loud.
"'Dear, (Y/n), here is your gi. I wish you all the luck in the tournament. Kai and I will be watching. I have a feeling you will do better than you expect. Have fun and, as you humans say,'kick some ass!' Sincerely, Navi-Sama'" I stared at the note with a small smile before, shining into the gi.

You heard a loud honk, and you checked your phone. You had a few messages from Arty and Aech.
"Oh shit, they're outside!" You blanched, and slipped as you mad dashed towards the door. Grabbing your phone, keys, and shoes, you slammed the door shut, and made your way down the stairs. Mr Avner was there and he waved at you.
