 Yamcha's match was first, and he found himself pitted against a mysterious fighter who concealed their true identity – Kami in disguise as a human. The bout commenced with both fighters displaying impressive skill. Yamcha, determined to advance, unleashed his signature techniques.

 The fight between Kami and Yamcha intensified, the arena echoing with the clash of their powerful blows. Kami's divine prowess was indeed formidable as he effortlessly dodged Yamcha's attacks, showcasing unparalleled agility.

 In a surprising twist, Kami seized a momentary lapse in Yamcha's focus and expertly maneuvered, sending Yamcha flying out of the ring. Gasps filled the arena as the crowd witnessed Yamcha's defeat. 

Despite the disappointment, Yamcha rose to his feet, a mix of frustration and acceptance on his face. Tien, Goka, and Krillin approached him with encouraging words. 

 Goka, with a reassuring smile, patted Yamcha on the back. "Don't worry, Yamcha. You fought well. Everyone has their tough moments." 

 Tien added, "You'll come back stronger next time. This isn't the end of your journey." 

 Yamcha nodded, appreciating the support from his friends. As he exited the arena, the focus shifted to Krillin, who was about to face Piccolo Jr.

The exchange of blows between him and Piccolo Jr. was fast and furious, the sound of their strikes reverberating through the arena. 

However, as the battle unfolded, it became evident that Piccolo Jr.'s Namekian strength was a force to be reckoned with.Piccolo Jr., tapping into his full power, unleashed a relentless assault on Krillin. The Namekian warrior moved with calculated precision, countering each of Krillin's moves effortlessly. 

Despite Krillin's valiant efforts and strategic maneuvers, he found himself gradually overpowered by Piccolo Jr.'s sheer strength and skill.As the bell rang, signaling the end of the match, Krillin, battered and bruised, acknowledged Piccolo Jr.'s victory with a nod of respect. 

The concern etched on his face was not solely for his own defeat but also for the looming threat that Piccolo Jr. posed to Goka. 

 - 

 In the back, where the fighters gathered between matches, Krillin received concerned looks from his friends. Tien, Goka, and Yamcha surrounded him, expressing both sympathy and worry. Bulma, catching wind of the situation, rushed Raditz and Vegeta to join the group, sensing the need for support. 

 Bulma, her concern evident, approached Goka with a whispered urgency. "Goka, we need to talk. It's about the tournament and, well, your condition." 

 Goka, raising an eyebrow, exchanged a glance with Krillin, who looked visibly fatigued. Raditz and Vegeta, dragged into the conversation, wore expressions of curiosity and impatience. 

 Bulma, choosing her words carefully, addressed Goka. "Look, with Krillin injured, I think it's too risky for you to face Piccolo Jr. in the semi-finals. You need to prioritize your health and—" 

 Goka cut her off with a determined look. "No, Bulma. I can't back down now. Krillin fought for us, and I'll do the same. I can handle it." 

 Bulma persisted, "But Goka, you're carrying—" 

 Goka interrupted, "I know what I'm carrying, Bulma. And I won't let it stop me from protecting everyone." 

 Bulma's words caught Vegeta's attention. His Saiyan instincts heightened when he heard her mention, "You're carrying." Curiosity etched across his features, and he shot Goka a probing glance. 

 The group fell into a brief silence, tension lingering in the air. Krillin, his injuries a testament to the toll of the tournament, gave Goka a grateful yet concerned look.Goka, sensing the need for focus, excused herself with a reassuring nod to Bulma and the others. 

She made her way toward the arena, the weight of Bulma's words resonating within her. Vegeta, unable to ignore the nagging curiosity, decided to follow her.As Goka walked briskly toward the arena, Vegeta matched her pace, falling into step beside her. 

His demanding aura made it clear he wanted answers. "What has been happening in the past two weeks, Kakarotta? Bulma mentioned something about you carrying." 

 Goka glanced at Vegeta, her expression unreadable. "Vegeta, there are things I need to tell you, but not now. After the tournament, I promise I'll explain everything." 

 Vegeta, never one to accept delays, scowled. "I won't tolerate being kept in the dark. The Saiyan Prince deserves to know." 

 Goka sighed, her eyes holding a mixture of determination and vulnerability. "Vegeta, please. Trust me on this. Once the tournament is over, I'll tell you everything. There's a lot at stake, and I need to focus on what's ahead." 

 Vegeta, though visibly frustrated, nodded reluctantly. The weight of the impending battles took precedence, and for now, he decided to put aside his inquiries. Goka offered a brief but reassuring smile before entering the arena for the challenging semi-final match. 

 The warning bell rang, signaling the impending start of the semi-finals. The group dispersed, and the fighters prepared for the challenging matches that awaited them.
