Loading Platform A

[Toshiro]

The demon watched the woman walk away, grinning faintly, he powered down. Shivering slightly as the warmth of his firey body disappeared, the crowd that had gathered now thined out as he slowly began to walk around the station. His mind was slightly reeling as he saw diffrent face's, diffrent race's. A few face's he had seen fleetingly before.

One person he saw peeked a key intrest, the saiya-jin Goku, he had meet him once before. And doubted he would remember him. He wasn't about to chance an encounter under the suspision of him woundering who he was. As he calmly walked around the station, he once agai nfound him self in the bar area. He was intrested in the substance ever one seemed to be drinking. Walkign to the bar, he ordered one.

Sniffing it slightly, he cringed faintly then took a small sip, washing it around his mouth, he shivered slightly as he swollowed, but he shruged, downing it quickly, getting rid of the taste quickly. Shivering softly, he learnt agasnt the bar, sighing softly. The spar's seemed to be the only intresting thing about this place. But also, the many people that he did not know of, or even recognized if he had meet them by pure chance. HE walked away, going on to the lounge deck, walking over to the window, he gazed out at the star's which he once again found him self in, his tail wrapped softly around his feet.

[Raz]

With a final large gulp the small Saiya-jin finished his fruit drink, dropping out of the high stool chair onto the ground with a small plop. Glancing about slightly... many of the fighters already in the bar were either on the boarder of their ninth drink or busy in a conversation with another of their competitors that they would probably undoubtably face later on.

"Maybe they have something to play with in another room." Goten thought to himself as he began to wonder, walking out of the doors leading into the bar and into the long hallway. Many other corridors branching off of it into other rooms and such along those lines... then suddenly... the sound of water reached Goten's ears. A splash coming from down one hall as he stopped short to glance down it. "... A pool!"

The mini Saiyan convinced himself that there was a pool just waiting for someone to take a swim in, turning he ran down the hall with eyes wide and a smile burning on his face before slamming head first with a large object.
"What the hell-!?" Was all that was heard as a clunck was heard, Goten opened his eyes dizzily to find himself sitting in front of a recovering blue giant. His mouth gapping as he looked up in awe at the large reptile creature that stood above him who had just exited the swimming hole, gulpping, the child stood up with his neck arched back and head high he spoke.
"H-hi... my name's Goten."

[Drake]

Arriving on the platform only confirmed Trunks? earlier thoughts; there were a lot of very powerful warriors, some he knew, ready to participate in this event. So it was with a bit of hesitation that he stepped out of the teleportation pod onto the station, a bit unsure of what he had gotten himself into.

?I have arrived; you may all bow before my greatness!? Announced the hybrid. This was always a great ice breaker, at least that?s what Chibi Trunks had always believed; however, he was sure that the Future Trunks wouldn?t agree. ?So how are all the muscle bound fighters doing today.? He was all smiles on the outside, but screaming ?Where?s the Sanity? on the inside.

[Minoshia]

Minoshia flashed onto the portal, his Body transportated by energy waves to another part this area he seemingly was stuck in. This looks like the docks, Beautiful, we shall be departing soon. Very good.

Let's get a drink, I'm thirsty.

Minoshia eyed a small cottage-like building towards the edge of the street on his right. His toe's barely scraped the ground as he briskly floated towards the pub, in search of friends and drink.

The Wooden doors felt cold as he pressed them open, Warm air rushed against his face. The smell of must and beer rushed into his nostrils, the sweet smell.

"Minoshia!"

The Konatsa-Jin whirled around, A taller being of the same hair stood twenty yards away. Tapion was jumping up and down, waving his hand like an idiot, trying to get his younger brother's attention. Minoshia let go of the tall door and rushed toward's his brother. As the Two Konat's got closer they embraced each other. Minoshia's arms laced around the back of his brother, a friendly sibling reunion. As the Two Konat's released each other Minoshia eyed a familar Machine behind his brother.

"Android 16..."

The Konat and the Humanoid began to walk at each other. They had each killed each other in a three way fight earlier in this lifetime. Anger was in both of their eyes, especially the Android who spent his time in the fiery pits of hell.

"Whoa! Minoshia, 16. Cool it guys." Tapion broke up the confrontation. Minoshia reached out towards Android 16's hands.

"Forgive and Forget old times?"

"Yea Man."

The Two Orange Haired Beings shook hands, and the three mohawked figures resumed Conversation.

[Burter]

Burter rubbed her stomach, over the armor that the small little boy had slapped into. He looked down at the curious looking boy who had to cock his head way back to see the tall reptile. "H-hi, I'm Goten" said the boy.

Whats a little kid doing in a tournament like this?

He smiled down at the boy, "Hello Goten. You must be Goku's son, your dad told me alot about you."

"You know my daddy?!" The boy asked, amazed.

"Yes, I do. We're good friends now. If your looking for the water hole, its that way," he pointed with a thick blue finger. "I'm about to go find a friend of mine, Bra. I think you'll like her. Up for it?"

He smiled and walked off, letting the boy decide on his own if he wanted to follow. Burter however couldn't believe how well he handled the little kid. Was the heartless reptile actually getting a soft spot for kids?

...Nah.

[Zarbon]

Zarbon went onto the platform, looking around him, seeing various new faces around him. The alien turned on his scouter, and looked around again to check the power levels.

They were mostly all higher then his power level, which enraged him slightly. It was just like he was to Cyber Cell, weak.

Zarbon sat down on the ground in thought, maybe he could find an ally or two, but he wasn't that content about it. If he did he would have a chance, and perhaps a partner, but he had a another plan on his mind, though this was a perfect back up to his.

((I'm slightly lazy right now.))

[Hellfighter 17]

ooc: I will prove I am Canadian!

The two walked toward the bar and along the way looked at all of the other fighters. There were some with long black hair, some with blue hair...oh, there she was and some short. It was a mixed group some of them did not look like fighters, but appearances can be decieveing. They arrived at the beer aand they ordered their drinks. "I'll have a Molson" the skinny android said to the barkeep.

Befor ehis companion could answer he gave her a little stare before she could request a beverage. "Yeesh...I'll have a coca-cola." When the man behind the counter left to fetch the drinks the two started talking again. "So, are you pretty strong?" she asked.

The android only replied with "I guess so." then after a few moments passed he asked her a question. "So, are you a good fighter, or just a wannabe?"

"Let me show you" the young woman asked. She was spunky, but this would not be enough to beat the android. He would probably take it easy on her as she was just a child, but he would soon find out that to be a mistake.

ooc: Now the spar post will be put up, so don't fret. Be 8)

[Raz]

"I'm about to go find a friend of mine, Bra. I think you'll like her. Up for it?" The blue warrior said as he looked down at Goten, smiling before turning to walk off.
"Bra? Ohh I know her! She was the one that Gohan got mad about when she died in... that dream..." Goten trailed off as he thought back to the acts of the first tournament like thing he had become involved in, something alike to this but still very different. Shrugging it off the youth smiled, having a new friend raised his mood as he took several large steps to catch up to the large reptile fighter. Striding by his side as his head tilted back to turn and look up at him... nodding to the side to give him an awkward little glance before asking in a small voice.

"Are you as strong as my Dad? Because because because... I saw him once and he was all shiny and gold colored... can you do that?" Innocently enough, he was full of questions that he thought this new warrior could answer hopefully.

[Burter]

Burter chuckled as the two walked on. Goten was surprisingly able to keep up with Burter's long giant steps compared to his short baby ones. As Goten brought up Goku's ability to go Super Saiyan, he just smiled a smug look.

"I can do something like that," Burter replied, causually. He began to recall when he had seen Goten, only hours before untimely demise in the reality show that would destroy his future. He continued to walk towards the bar, answering all of the boy's questions and telling him fairy tales that he had heard as a child. The boy took it all in stride, listeing deeply and asking curious questions at every chance he got. Finally, they slipped into the bar where Bulma and Bra turned to meet them. Bulma introduced herself as Bra took a familiar took at the young saiyan boy.

[Tobias]

Garlic entered the Loading platform with his usual pretentious swagger, assuming his makyo-jin features would cause him to be, initialy, a spectical. He was shocked, however, to find that the types of warriors there were all across the spectrum. Hell, he was tame compaired to some of these people. He caught Goten, Reccome and Andriod 16 umongst them at a cursitory glance and would have noticed more if something else had not caught his gaze... a bar! The goblin was quite fond of his booze and despite his small stature wasnt easily intoxicated. He didnt know why... maybe it had something to do with him being a demon, who knew, but it was a gift to be sure. As usual when he was amongst large folk he gently hovered a few feet off the ground, so he didnt always have to look up. He hated looking up. With an imperious wave of his hand he brushed his cloak open and made for the drinks. He hoped they'd have wine...

ooc: Opening postador.

[Zarbon]

Zarbon got up and started to walk around, he best be friendly to the ones around him, and he was impressed by the strength, but some were as weak as the humans, only trying their luck.

It was then he saw someone, someone in green armour, marked "R R" and had red hair. Zarbon walked up and started to walk passed him then stopped. He opened his word to speak words:

"Your stronger then the rest."

[The Not Cool Not Tapion]

Tapion stared at the one eyed warrior. He saw him in the dream-like tournament he was in before where he met Sixteen for the first time and fought him. Tapion realized he had fought Paragus back then as well. Tapion listened to the two old comrades conversate on random things. Soon, Tapion's eyes wondered off and he saw a bald green head pass by people's waist. People seemed to be disturbed when he walked by them because he was so small. Tapion smiled, knowing it was Garlic Jr. He felt like he knew so many people.

Tapion looked at Minoshia who seemed to be bored and looking around. He gave fake laughs when the other two taller warriors laughed. Tapion put his arm on his little brother's shoulder, like a signal, Minoshia looked up.

"Let's go meet some new people." He said.

Minoshia's eyes lit up.

"Ok!"

He replied, excited. Tapion looked to Paragus and Sixteen.

"Sorry to leave you both right now. But me and Minoshia are going to go meet some other people."

The warriors said their goodbyes and walked away and passed through a lot of different warriors.

"So why were you about to fight Android 16 back there, what did he do to you?"

Asked Tapion, just remembered that it had happened.

"He killed me and I went to heaven. That's where I learned my ability to power up so much."

"He killed you!?" Tapion said worried.

"It's ok, brother. I'm fine now."

Tapion sighed and nodded, he still couldn't believe his little brother had died. Tapion blamed only himself for not being there to protect him. Good thing mom didn't know this. Mom....he could barely remember her. Tapion's thoughts started going on about random things until Minoshia pointed to a sign and yelled to his brother.

"Tapion! I'm thirsty!"

"Ok, Minoshia. let's go in."

Minoshia trotted forward, happily. He pushed open the door and held it open for his older brother. Tapion passed through to see many people in there. There were two blue haired women which was odd looking to Tapion and little boy playing with them. He then saw the large blue reptile with them.

"Come on." Said Tapion to his younger sibling.

Tapion led his brother to the group. He walked to Burter and stood beside him.

"Hey, Burter. Remember me?"

Burter saw the warrior...but only saw one spike to his mohawk.

"Yeah...but what happened to your hair?"

Tapion chuckled, "Nothing, it was just a long day. Anyway, this is my little brother Minoshia."

Tapion introduced his younger brother to Burter and the other three.

"Nice to meet you Goten." Said Minoshia, after learning his name. The two seemed to like each other since they were younger than the adults.

Tapion was introduced to Bulma and Bra by Burter. Meeting new people was always great.

[Raz]

"Nice to meet you Goten." Minoshia said simply enough to capture the miniature Saiya-jin warrior's attention turning over to look oddly enough between the two mohawked fighters before smiling at the hair style. The youth's hair was funny... almost bed-head like qualities, but in a contest between the Saiyan youth and this younger sibling, Minoshia would win.

"Nice to meet you too!" Goten spoke with a hop in his voice before turning back to Burter, his eyes traveling up the massive blue reptile to catch him in the eye with a wave, diverting the warrior's attention down unto him.
"Um... who's who?" The child spoke honestly as he pointed to the two females, knowing one would be Bra but not too sure about the other whom looked exactly alike. Burter gave a soft chuckle, clear as day that the Saiya-jin child hadn't been minding the conversation nor the beginning of it after Tapion had made his greeting and the two had given they're names.
"This is Bra, which I'm sure you know." Burter began. "Next we have her mother, Bulma."
One of the cyan haired females turned at the sound of her name, looking over at the aqua colored fighter then down to the little child next to him who looked up with a big smile and a wave.
"Hi Bulma! I'm Goten."

[Banned Dana]

Piccolo sat, crossed legged, floating in the air, bringing himself to complete calmness. While in his meditating state, he could feel all that was going on around him, even the annoying little kid staring only inches from his face. Openning one eye, the kid fell backwards.

Gritting his teeth, Piccolo looked at his scouter.

"This needs to hurry." thought Piccolo. "I'm liable to start kicking some serious butt here soon."

Piccolo went back to his meditation.

[Toshiro]

The demon looked around the bar area & then to his old friend. He hated being in with this many people, he felt like he stood out more then any of the other creatures or android's in there. He had to keep his tail close to him to avoid having it stepped on. Looking to his giant friend, he shook his head then walked back out. He decided to let his friend mingle, seeking only a vent for pent up anger from the past fight with Bulma, the woman was indeed intresting.

As he walked quitly out of the bar area, un noticed by his friend, he made toward's the resting area, walking in to a vacant room he flopped down on the bed. Most likely, his weapon;s would be taken off of him at some point or another, & he carefully took the len's out. Blinking slightly as his eye's readjusted to the uncommon freeness. He placed them in a small container of liquid to help keep them loose & soft to place on his eye again.

Laying back on the bed, his mind drifted back to that underground pen, the first time he had truely seen his inner evil. The way it all seemed was so remarkable similar, only the freeness of it was the diffrence to them both. His mind slowly drifted back, memories apeparing, memories of Jessica, the care free child that he & Recoome had help lay to death. Then of Uub leaving them, he understood part of why the mohawked man had left them, he had his own problem's. But he didn;'t understand his choice of leaving then & there..

[Bra]

Bra sat in thought, a little concerned about Raditzu's last comment.

"Everyone here is in over their heads."

She didn't even notice Goten approach them, introducing himself to her mother. It didn't seem important at the time.

What could the long-haired Saiyan have meant by that comment? He couldn't have been implying that he, himself, was worried about any potential threats. The warrior's power was unmatchable, anyone who opposed such force would be eliminated. Was it a threat? A warning, maybe.

"Hrm..."

Bra recalled her experience in the Room of Spirit and Time, or more specifically, finally being able to control her ascension. Perhaps Raditzu was in a similar predicament. Could there be a new plateau above Super Saiyan? Could that common soldier be fighting to control something even more awesome than the goal of every aspiring Saiyan warrior?

Impossible.

"Hey Goten." Bra greeted, forcing her mind onto a different track. She completely missed the conversation he and Bulma had, but hopefully it wasn't important, or else she might be lost as this new conversation continued.

[Toshiro]

The demon looked to Nail, unsure of exactly where they had meet. He had seen his face before, but it was like a distant memorie, unlike the others, one he had near forgotten.

"Nail if I remember correctly?" The Namekian nodded as the demon returned the gesture. "How have you been since that royal rumble?" He leant on the railing, looking at him.

[Android-18]

It was a rather lavishing place. She had been teleported here via teleportation tubes, she knew that once here she could not return. With that in thought she took it upon herself to actually take a look at the station. It was a fair size, big enough to fit a large amount of people. There were restaurants, a bar, a sleeping area, basically everything a person would need. She could not think of where anyone she knew would be, so she took to wandering. The figures she saw did not look familiar at all, would she even see anyone she knew before the event took place?

18 wandered into what looked like the bar, it was rather big. There were lots of crowds, and so to avoid being crowded she found herself a quiet corner and waited to see if there were any waitress? or anything in this bar. A small drink might do her some good, though she was not much of a drinker. So she sat alone and waited, watching the drunken actions of the different people.

[Tami]

"Bra," the woman said, looking up to her distant daughter. She snapped her fingers to get the girl to pay attention. The pre-teen shook her head, looking up now at her mother. "I'm going to go walk with Goten here and get to know him. Stay here, ok?"

"Yea," Bra said, quietly, "Sure. I'll stay." Bra looked at her with a blank stare, obviously thinking about something a bit more then what Bulma was staying.

"Bra..." Bulma began, "You know I'm here if you ever want to talk."

The young girl nodded, a soft smiling forming upon her lips. "Thanks, Mom. But I'm fine, honest. Go have fun."

Bulma smiled gently back at her daughter and gotup, moving towards the young boy who had been conversing with the other fights. She kneeled down to be at the same height he was in. "I'm gonna go for a walk, Goten. You want to come with me?" She smiled, cocking her head and looking into the young boy's face.

"Kay," was all the boy said with a smile. Bulma returned the grin and then walked off, knowing he would be following her.

[The Not Cool Not Tapion]

Tapion was enjoying the conversation with the group when he heard his name.

"Tapion?"

Asked a person behind him. Tapion swivled around to see Yamcha drinking and smiling and waved to Tapion. Tapion smiled and walked over there, making a gesture to the party he was with to wait a second.

He quickly walked past a couple people to Yamcha, seeing he still had battle wounds as he did.

"Hey, Yamcha. How have you been since we were rewarded with that money?"

Yamcha smiled a cocky smile.

"I've been great. That helped me out a lot. You are participating in the tournament too?"

Tapion nodded, "Yeah. It's going to be great. Hopefully we wont have to fight each other. But if we do, give it our all."

Yamcha agreed and smiled. The two let the small moment sink in to their bones when he heard Minoshia call for him.

"Big brother!?"

Tapion turned around to see Minoshia across the room with the now smaller group. Burter was still there along with Bra. The rest seemed to leave. Close to Bra was another warrior, he had long hair past his waste but Tapion only saw his back so saw the long hair. He thought it was stylish until his thoughts were carried away by his little brother's voice again.

"Tapion!!!"

Whined Minoshia. Tapion turned to Yamcha.

"I'll see you around, Yamcha."

"You too, Tapion."

Tapion parted from Yamcha and walked to Burter and Minoshia and Bra.

"What?"

"I didn't know where you were is all. Goten left with that Bulma lady."

Tapion shrugged, he didn't know what to do. He looked to Burter who seemed to be minding his own buisness. Ignoring his brother's complaints, he wanted to start a conversation.

"It's been awhile, Burter. How have you been?"
