The day of the World Tournament had finally arrived. Mae put on her grey tank top, grey sweat pants, and black sports bra. She was finally ready to fight and win. She was eager to prove herself to her father who was coming back from the dead. Everyone met at Capsule Corp and Bulma flew them to the island on a carrier. They were all so excited to see Goku and this put Mae in a foul mood.

"Hey you guys let's not use super saiyan." Gohan said breaking her train of thought.

"Why?" Mae asked.

"Yea why should we have to hide our abilities?" Vegeta asked.

"Actually it's a good idea." Bulma said. "Imagine if it gets out that you guys were the ones at the Cell Games. There would be reporters all over."

"I'll just blow them away." Vegeta smirked.

"If you guys aren't using super saiyan then I might actually stand a chance." Krillin laughed.

"Hey look there's the island!" Bulma said as they approached.

"I better put on my costume." Gohan said. "Mae are you sure you don't wanna put yours on?"

"I'm absolutely sure. I want to be me when I defeat our father." Mae crossed her arms.

They landed and headed out to find Goku. As they wandered through all of the vendors they found Piccolo leaning up against a tree. Gohan raced to greet him. "Piccolo! You made it! Have you seen dad anywhere?"

"No I haven't even felt his presence." Piccolo replied walking back to the group.

Just as they were about to walk off Goku appeared out of nowhere, "I'm back!"

"Goku!" Everyone cheered they were so happy to see him.

"Dad!" Gohan said as he rushed to hug his father and others joined him.

"Aren't you going to go?" Vegeta looked down at Mae.

"Hmph." Mae snorted.

"Goku! I've missed you!" Chi-Chi said with tears in her eyes.

"I've missed you too." Goku smiled at his wife. "Wow Gohan you've gotten really tall!" He said as they backed away from Goku.

"Yea haha." Gohan scratched his head.

"Mae." Goku turned and saw his daughter standing next to Vegeta.

"Rah!" Mae shouted as she lunged forward.

"Mae!" Gohan said stunned that she attacked their father.

Goku caught her fist in his hand, "you've gotten stronger."

"I will defeat you today." Mae narrowed her eyes.

"Haha you really are my daughter." Goku grinned.

Mae dropped down, crossed her arms, and walked back over to Vegeta. He gave her a look and Mae just turned her head. He had been looking forward to this moment. He knew about the anger she had towards her father.

"Hey is that a little me behind you?" Goku asked as he looked down at Goten who was hiding behind Chi-Chi. "Come on out don't be afraid."

"This is your son, Goten." Chi-Chi said placing a hand on the boy's head.

Goten paused for a moment before running to Goku, "daddy!"

"Woah!" Goku said as Goten leaped into his arms. "You are a strong little guy."

"Heheh," an old woman interrupted them. "Remember Goku, you only have 24 hours."

"Yea I know." Goku nodded. "Well we better go register."

When they got to the registration desk they informed Goten and Trunks they would have to fight in the junior division. Mae and Gohan were old enough for the adult division. They continued through the many vendors. It was more like a festival than a martial arts tournament.

"Hey Mae can you go and find Videl?" Gohan asked. He knew that she was on edge since their father returned.

"Yea I guess." Mae shrugged and walked off. She rounded a corner and found Sharpner standing there.

"Ah Mae I've been looking for you." He said. He was dressed in a white suit and he held a bouquet of flowers.

"What do you want Sharpner." Mae glared.

"I brought these for you." He held the flowers out. "I was hoping to take you out on a date."

"Hahaha!" Mae burst out laughing. "You can't be serious!"

"But I am. I've had eyes for you since we first met." He said brushing his hair back.

"Oh my no." Mae laughed as she walked away. She couldn't wait to tell Gohan about this. As she was walking she spotted Videl who had found Gohan and their group. She rushed over to them. "Hey Videl."

"Oh there you are Mae." Videl waved.

"Gohan sent me to find you but I guess you found us." Mae chuckled. "How are you doing at flying?"

"Come on and I'll show you." She took off into the air and Mae and Gohan followed. She really was flying like a pro. They landed on a nearby balcony.

"You are doing really well!" Gohan said.

"Mae!" Sharpner yelled as he came running through the door way. "Why did you leave?!"

"Oh no not this again." Mae rolled her eyes.

"Videl you are here too?" Sharpner said looking at her.

"Yea so what?" Videl shrugged.

"Mae, who is this guy?" He gestured at Gohan.

"This is the Great Saiyaman." Mae said flatly.

"What are you doing with him?" Sharpner snapped. There was jealousy in his voice.

"None of your damn business." Mae glared back. "Who I'm with is none of your concern. Let's go Videl, Saiyaman." She hooked an arm around Gohan's and led them away.

"That guy. I'll unmask him no matter what! Who does he think he is stealing my girl?" Sharpner muttered as he watched them walk away.

They headed into the arena and met up with Goku and Vegeta. There were over one hundred fighters standing about. "Why don't we just wipe them out now." Vegeta said as he looked around.

"If only we could." Mae said putting her hands behind her head.

"Hey it's you guys!" A blonde haired man came running up to Goku and Krillin. "I'm glad to see you guys!"

"Hey Vegeta." Mae said as the man was talking to Goku and Krillin.

"What?" He asked her.

"I just want to say good luck." She stammered.

"I don't need something like luck." He scoffed. "Neither do you."

Mae's eyes widened at his comment. "I'll do my best!" She smiled.

"Attention everyone!" The announcer called to them. "194 people entered the adult division. However only 16 spots are available and since the champ gets one spot that means there are only 15 left!" They brought out some sort of machine. "We will use this punching machine to determine who gets to participate. Now Mr. Satan will be the first to go!"

Mr. Satan walked up making quite the entrance. Cameras were going off everywhere as he announced himself. Piccolo glared and suddenly they all broke. Mae stifled a laughter as Gohan questioned him about it. "Alright well here I go!" Mr. Satan shouted as he winded himself up. He punched the machine and then it revealed a score of 137. The crowd cheered as he walked away proud of his score.

"Now everyone has been assigned a number and if you could form a line." The announcer said.

Mae stood inbetween Piccolo and Vegeta waiting patiently. Many other people went but no one could score above Mr. Satan. Finally it was 18s turn. "Hey go easy on it okay?" Krillin said to his wife.

"I know what to do." She said as she walked up. She casually hit the machine and the numbers showed 774.

"What?!" The announcer said. "The machine must be wrong. Please ma'am if you could go again."

"Fine." 18 sighed as she lightly tapped it, 203.

Next up was Krillin who scored 192. Goku went scoring 186. Piccolo got 210. The crowd all seemed to be in shock by their high scores. Finally Mae was up. "Hah that little girl thinks she can fight?" Some of the other fighters laughed as she walked up.

Mae grinned as she punched the machine scoring 206. "What do you think about that, dad?" She said trying to one up him.

"Geez Mae you couldn't hold back a little?" Goku laughed.

Up next was Vegeta who walked up to the machine and punched it blowing it away. "As if I would hold back."

"Oh man Vegeta!" Goku groaned covering his face.

"Okay I knew Mae was strong but I didn't know she was that strong! And what's up with that guy?!" Videl asked Gohan in shock about what she just saw.

"Oh Man, well that's Vegeta for you." Gohan chuckled.

"You aren't even surprised?!" Videl questioned him.

Vegeta walked through the crowd and people began to cower away from him. "He broke the machine! There's no way we can win against him!" The people started chattering. Vegeta just smirked as he made his way through.

"Hey Vegeta, do you want to go watch the junior division?" Goku asked.

"Sure. Anything is better than this." Vegeta frowned impatiently.

"I'll come too." Mae said. She was hoping to see Goten fight.

They walked over to where Gohan and Videl were standing. They still had to wait for the new machine to be brought out. "Hey Gohan who is this?" Goku asked his son.

"Oh this is my friend Videl." Gohan said.

"Don't you mean girlfriend?" Krillin laughed.

"No no it's not like that!" Gohan stuttered.

"Hey who is this guy?" Videl asked.

"This is my dad, Goku." Gohan said.

"Well we better go before they start. It was nice to meet you Videl." Goku smiled as they made their way to where the junior division was held.
Videl shot Mae a 'what the hell' look as she walked past. Mae just smiled and shrugged as she followed Vegeta, Goku, and company.
