Area B: Day Three

[Reijin]

Area B is controlled by Raditzu

"Sir, the combatants seem to be getting out of hand."

A uniformed man stood at attention in a darkened room just over the primary fighting arena, above the featured match. Just below them, a bloodthirsty crowd watched in a ferver as Uub and Goku went toe to toe. A voice echoed from a large throne positioned perfectly by the window. From there, a being of his power could see everything. "I want you to bring an end to this fight, one way or another. The crowd is growing bored, and we need another fight."

The uniformed man nodded sharply, then spoke quickly. "Yes sir. About the others, sir..."

Darkness fell upon the room as a large figure rose to its feet, blocking the window's light and casting the room in shadow. "Let them play just a bit longer. They will extinguish themselves soon enough, and we can't deny our crowd of their enjoyement."

The soldier turned to leave the room, and the voice spoke again. "It is time. Set things into motion. Throw a bit of a curve into things. It will please the crowds."

The soldier quickly saluted. "Yes, my Lord Frost."

NEWS

Soldiers from bases across Dante have begun to emerge, pinpointing helpless fighters and eliminating them with zeal. Any fighters who have managed to kill them have recieved no points, but it has been said that these fighters are recieving gracious pay for their efforts. They have also announced intentions of destroying bunkers across Dante, though none have been destroyed as of yet. Be careful.

Additionally, it has been discovered that all senzu beans have begun to wither and die, having been replaced with weakened beans. These beans will not heal anyone, and a few have poisoned the consumer. As a result, senzu beans are now all but useless, with the few that have been held for the longest growing precious.

Finally, in the short amount of fighters left, there are very few that do not know each other on Dante. The weaker fighters have been eliminated, and now, only those that have some connection with each other seem to be around. Those that have managed to survive without having aligned themselves with someone will be fierce, so be warned: Any encounter could be your last.

So begins Day 3, as a brilliant halo of energy rises into the sky to produce the days events. Our astrologists have predicted that the cycle of moon and sun will complete by January 16th, bringing a closure to Day 3 and giving birth to Day 4.

[Burter]

"You underestimate my determination for my friends!!" Paragus cried, uncontrollably blasting his aura to full power. In truth, the Saiyan immune system destroyed the poison extremely quickly. The dark warrior screamed in anger, causing his aura to flicker violently. The bottle that held his anger had broken.

Katel watched in surprise as Paragus shot down at full speed, his determination at its fullest. Light flickered from his aura, his anger exceeding its limits and now crashing down. The quiet old man had awoke, and he would not rest until his friends were safe.

Vines immediately shot from the ground to stop him, though the old saiyan had expected every last one, dodging them with flexible movements. Katel began to realize there was no hope to run, seeing his obvious determination. Vines shot out to act as a sheild, though he was much quicker then usual. His body slipped by before it formed, tackling the forest girl with enough force to break her apart. The two rolled for a moment before Paragus wound up on top, raising his fist to the already beaten woman.

"Release them." He ordered firmly.

Katel rested her head back, as if sighing. The vines were noticably retracting back into the ground, releasing his companions. "I had hoped you would attain supreme power, elder Paragus," she whispered to only him, "But you are not ready. I will surrender now, but we will meet again."

Paragus said nothing, only pushing off and letting her up. From the distance there were DA soldiers coming to pick Katel up. She just smiled before Paragus could say a word, and pushed off away from the crew, to be transported out of the competition.

[]+2500 Zeni and +1 Point to Paragus[]

[Raz]

"Wha-what!?" Goten stuttered as he attempted to comprehend what had happened, one moment he was squaring off with a random fighter and the next he had to deal with a much more to-the-point warrior who's intentions had obviously been on the youth's blood... the child aura erupted in a glory of whitish blue as he stared at the fighter who had suddenly thrown the youth into a battle. His eyes scanned about to see the effects of the stasis grenade, encasing both the pirate and him within this sphere of energy. "Who are you?" Goten muttered softly.
"A space pirate looking for vengeance." Bojack replied with little to no sympathy for the appearance of the child who had already been quite tattered by the previous fights before.
"Why do you want to fight me?" The hybrid was still a tad confused by the situation... especially since he had been traveling with Pan whom he had left back at the bunker not too long ago.
"Vengeance..."

A quick shatter of the silence took place above the humming of the field about them; Bojack took point of the battle by making a quick rush forward, throwing his fist up in a heavily aimed attack towards Goten's small frame. Regaining his place within the battle, the demi Saiyan finally noted Bojack's assault but it was a second too late... the child was thrown backwards at a fly, recorrecting himself by slamming his arms and legs out quickly to halt his flight. The eyes of a fighter now accompanied Goten's childish expression as he looked at Bojack now not as another person... but another fighter, another fighter whom would be a possible killer, another fighter that might take another one of his friends...
"...Goten?" Kirano's voice still haunted his mind; the fact of the matter was that he couldn't protect anyone even in an hour of need. A small shiver ran down his back as he brought himself back to the battle, a sudden eruption of energy from Goten launched the youth forward from his halted position into the waiting area of the fighter Bojack he faced...

[Bra]

Burter and Kami both headed to meet Paragus, probably to make sure he was alright, as far as Bra could tell. Once again, she allowed herself to stay a few feet back, still preoccupied with Burter's actions back in the last bunker they'd visited. The cyan-haired girl absent-mindedly toyed with the elegant silver bracelet her friend had given her for her birthday. The artifact itself was very attractive and probably cost Lakon dearly, but it's sentimental value still managed to outweigh that fact. The halfling was so lost in her thoughts that she completely ignored both Burter's attempts to talk to her as well as the high-pitched sound being periodically emitted by her tournament-issue collar.

"Bra! Pay attention, kid!" Burter demanded, now taking steps toward his younger companion.

"Oh... sorry. Hey, what's with the beeping on our collars?" she asked, now hearing it for the first time. It was remarkably annoying.

"It's a warning. We need to get to a bunker soon or we'll be knocked off. What's bothering you?" the muscle-bound reptile inquired.

"Hm? Uh, nothing. Scouter says there's a bunker just a short way north of here. Why don't we go there?" Bra suggested, trying desperately to change the subject while making a point to avoid looking Burter in the eyes.

"Kami, what do you think? Northern bunker sound good?" the blue-skinned warrior asked.

"Sure, seems pretty close. We'd better get a move on. Don't want to be caught in a fight before we can get these suicide-collars deactivated." Kami warned, and then launched himself into the deceptively calm blue skies. Bra, Paragus, and Burter all leapt into the air in pursuit, following the white-and-green figure that was Kami.

Momentarily, the four warriors touched down on the arid, cracked and brown dirt, each avoiding the sparse patches of tall, rough elephant grass that wavered only slightly in the hot breeze.

"Wow, this place sure looks boring, huh?" Bra stated, evoking a short-lived smirk from Paragus. The demi-Saiyan was forced to smile as well, glad that Paragus finally had some form of positive glimmer escape him. He must have truly been disappointed, and it hurt to watch the Saiyan's pain.

The four warriors gazed upon the sun-baked concrete bunker, taking note of the powerful shield emitters and the defensive energy turrets, which were clearly inactive. Without wasting any time with words, the four quickly headed into the fortified structure, accompanied with a loud chirp which announced that their collars had each been deactivated for the day.

"I'll go activate the turrets. May as well be protected while we're here." Paragus decided, heading off to the computer, which was located in the same place it was in every other bunker.

"You know... I think I'm sensing Goten's energy somewhere..." Bra said, more to herself than the other two nearby compatriots.

OOC: Entered northern bunker in Area B. Next!

[Raz]

A rush of wind from the explosion of strength followed with Bojack's sudden acceleration of ability, dirt from the surrounding area trailed along within the air causing the youth to cover his eyes with one hand in attempt to keep his sight from failing him only to receive a jolt to the stomach. Goten's eyes widened as his hand slowly faded down from over his eyes to see the space pirate's own stare, lowering down more to see Bojack's fist within his stomach up to the wrist. The pain accelerated throughout the hybrid's body in a wakening to the remembered feel the accompanied the sting of reality, yet the withdrawing of the revitalized the feeling that this wasn't going to end the way his opponent wanted. Bojack's large fist wheeled backwards as his other hand spiraled around to form a fist which would have connected with Goten's cheek if it hadn't been for a sudden knee to the chin that slammed into the underside of his head, bending his neck as the hybrid's knee forced the space pirate's head back.

"..." Though the child's eyes lacked the fierce stare of a seasoned warrior they still contained the ability to continue, the ability to still fight... Goten floated at a head high position as his lips moved with an inaudible sound coming forth, the causing being the child's venture to return air to his lungs till the pirate realized that a follow up move wasn't on the verge of coming. With a quick movement Goten was snatched up by his right arm into the air, Bojack's left hand now holding on tightly till a small yell filled the area out of the recovered lungs. The demi Saiya-jin now held his free hand forward with a glowing orb of energy positioned directly aimed toward the pirate's head with an almost point blank area between.

With an eruption of a half dozen small spheres trailed behind by streams of light ki energy, the pirate received a face-full of blasts. Though they hadn't been of the strength that the child would have wished for they served their purpose none the less, breaking upon contact to release the small wave of energized dust which usually followed to make a sort of smoke screen between both Bojack and half Saiyan alike. A release from the grip was all it took for Goten to shake free and begin a backwards free fall towards the ground, the space pirate pushed on through the smoke to catch the glimpse of the retreating child which he pursued with utmost determination. Tearing through the air at Goten as his left leg rose with a quickness, darting across in a horizontal location to nail the hybrid across the face. Blood mixed with saliva as the half breed?s head was thrown aside on impact, looking back with eyes filled with a new sense of fighting spirit the child retaliated instantly. Spinning back with the motion his attacker had sent him as his own leg rose in a kick, making its mark against the side of the space pirate's face.

Both floated a moment before Goten's image blurred, the small boy darting to the right and then down to the ground to stand in a defensive position. Right arm pulled back to his waist with his left hand up near his chest with fingers uncurled in a sort of half dome-like position, his legs spread out under him as he waited for Bojack to make his move...

(FIGHT: Bojack Vrs. Goten)

[Android-18]

Android 18 sat still as the three warriors walked in together. Cell was rummaging through the food and not really bothering to acknowledge them. The android was lazily reclining on one of the sofas and relaxing after her last battle. Now that these people had come she felt her rest had to come to an end. Though she continued to sit lazily as if she had not a care, she interrupted their talk, ?Nice weather we?re having, isn?t it?? She said randomly as they stared at her in slight surprise. Of course none of them had sensed her. Casually she sensed their power out; two of them were Saiya-Jin, while the third had no signature at all. Now the girl smiled and sat upright with her hands hanging between her thighs. ?I?m Android 18, and that?s Cell.? She cocked her head toward the green humanoid that was now looking in their direction.

OOC: I?m still in the southern bunker of area B.

[Android-18]

Things were begining to draw on with a dull taste. Android 18 glanced at the green figure that stood motionless and staring, "Well Cell, you look as bored as the floor." He glanced at her comment. "Want to have a fight? Perhaps we can make up for your trickery and have a rematch." He simply looked at her and thought of what to reply. "It's up to you, but I really need to fight, I'm starting to grow mold just sitting here." She noticed the others looking at her. Right now she did not want to fight any of them.

OOC: Reply Cell.

[Burter]

Burter's bulky finger slid along the map of the area, browsing for the nearest bunker. He looked back at the three fighters he had traveled with and then onto the map again. "Okay, so they arn't here. Let's go...here. Same area." He turned his scaly head and nodded to them.

Kami sighed and stood last, cracking his knuckles to prepare for another flight. "Alright, let's go. I'm sick of all this flying."

Burter only nodded and the four walked out after restocking their stasis grenades. They took off and flew, all keeping very quiet. It wasn't long before they finally found the bunker and could see the green Android 16 from the entrance.

[]Now entering SE bunker in Area B. W/ Paragus/Kami/Bra[]

[Kami]

Instead of going over to greet their fellow alliance member with Pitch Black, the somewhat bored Kami decided to hang back a little and let them have their space. He could tell there was some fighting going on around, and didn't see much need to follow every little action of the people he was with. If they did try anything it wouldn't take much to at least scare them away. He hoped it wouldn't come to that, but with a tournament like this it was hard to tell. Looking around, Kami stood alone on the ground, almost keeping watch, more for himself than anyone else.

[Android-18]

Android 18 stood up as another troupe of warriors filled in. Disgusting. Her quiet resting place was now alight with voices and bodies. She scoffed and jerked her head in a signal that Cell should follow her, fight or not. She pushed past the people, even when they spoke directly to her. She wanted out of the stuffy place, they were too lively. She felt the cool air rush against her face once she exited the building. The noise settled and for a moment she felt peace.

?There?s a fight?? She looked in the distance and Cell made a noise of confirmation. ?Not very powerful?? She smirked. Her feet crunched in the dry dead grass and the gray clouds threatened another rainfall. ?Let?s go see what?s about, think about my proposal.? And with that she took off into the windy air and flew toward the ki signatures. ?I don?t know these signatures, I wonder who they are?? She flew closer to the destination. The wind beat against her face and made her hair flutter about. Tears began to form in the corners of her eyes from the pressure of flying, but soon they stopped as she slowed.

Two figures faced off on the ground. Android 18 tried to make out their features but it was not so easy from where she was. She spotted a shimmering dome surrouning the two fighters, ?Interesting.? Was her only thought. Slowly she lowered to the ground and Cell followed, their feet crunched the dirt and grass. She got closer to the battlefield and finally made out the details of each warrior. One had a head of flaming orange hair and the pigmentation of his skin was of a blue shade. He looked battle hardened, although he could not compare to herself. His muscles rippled with tension as he moved and fought with a certain style. Her cool blue eyes trailed their way toward the other fighter. He looked like a child, perhaps he was one. He had black spiky hair and resembled a few Saiya-Jin she knew. This interested her. Yet she preferred the larger mans fighting style, he was putting in great effort to win. She wondered who these two were, but probably would never know one or the other. Only one person could win this, unless of course certain things transpired.

?Hmm?I wonder where that Saiya-Jin is anyway.? Cell seemed to shudder for some reason. She started to push buttons on her scouter. It beeped and showed names, power levels, and the map of the area. She mused and continued to fiddle around until a stranger beep emitted from the device. ?Ah?There we go??

?Raditzu? Are you there?? She said casually in a cool voice. ?What are you doing, anyway?? She drawled. The long haired warrior had up and vanished from her life since this had all started. She wondered if he was even still alive, or if he even wanted to hear from her. The very thought made her blood churn in anger. If he gave her the cold shoulder, she would have to damage that shoulder in turn. There was nothing but a static sound from her scouter. ?Well, answer if you get any of this. I was hoping you?d join me at some point, unless of course you?ve decided to make other plans behind my back.? Her voice dripped like venom. ?I?m in area B, it?s really rather dull?but there?s a rather entertaining fight.? She felt Cell staring at her; perhaps she should stop talking before she looked crazy. ?Well I?ll be here, ciao.? Maybe he was just to busy to reply, probably stuffing his face as always. ?I need a good fight?? She sighed and glanced at the battle.

[Raditzu]

"Raditzu? You there?"

"Huh? Wha..." The saiyan's body jerked. His expression conveyed his less-than-thrilled attitude. Not often did someone dream about finding a waffle that stretched father than the eye could see. He rubbed some sleep out of his eyes and looked around, trying to discern the location of the voice that had addressed him.

?What are you doing, anyway?? The voice drawled on. ?Well, answer if you get any of this. I was hoping you?d join me at some point, unless of course you?ve decided to make other plans behind my back. I?m in area B, it?s really rather dull?but there?s a rather entertaining fight.?

"Wait a sec..." Rad's hand snapped up to his scouter. With the press of a button, the small device displayed the origin of the transmission.

With a yawn and a stretch, Raditzu pulled himself up to his feet and looked around. His back had been propped against a cold wall and he had been sitting in a corner of a bunker. It took him several seconds to recall what he was doing in a bunker at all. It wasn't until he noticed a couple other warriors milling about that he remember the tournament that he was a part of. It was about that time that ki sense also began to flare up. There was no shortage of powerlevel out there. But that could wait. If he didn't want to be sleeping on the proverbial couch, he had better respond to 18.

"Hey, babe. You interrupted one helluva dream." Arching his back, Rad listened to beautiful sound of his back popping. "Anyway, nothing's really happening over here, so I guess it wouldn't kill me to come pay ya a visit. I'll be there shortly."

OOC: Heading towards Area B.

[Android-18]

Android 18 jumped slightly as a voice sounded in her ear. Her mind was taken off the ensuing fight to listen to the Saiya-Jin bable. ?Hey, babe. You interrupted one helluva dream." Oh so that?s all he had to say? ?Anyway, nothing's really happening over here, so I guess it wouldn't kill me to come pay ya a visit. I'll be there shortly." She scoffed lightly, so it seemed he was just sleeping. He was on his way though, that was good enough. Perhaps they could fight together, or just watch the fighting that went on around them. Her mind went back to the fight. When would it end? They were both fighting hard to win. She wondered what Raditzu would say to this fight. She sensed that the Saiya-Jin out there may be linked to her companion; they did have similar features, as with Goku. Suddenly his voice sounded again but not from her scouter.

?Glad you decided to join me.? She turned slowly to face the strong warrior. ?Cell is here too, I?m sure you know him.? They stared at each other. ?He?s currently deciding whether to fight me or not, to make up for the past, but his presence doesn?t bother me.? She glanced at the fighting again, having turned in the process of talking so that she could see. ?Kill anyone yet?? She asked in a chilled voice. ?I?ve killed four people already.? Now her back was to him and her eyes were glued to the sapphire colored warrior.

[Raz]

Goten stood at the horns of a raging bull of concentrated energy and pain, eye to eye with a beast that would swallow his life had it not been his two small hands pressured heavily against the front of a beam that cascaded down upon him in full force. Teeth gritted in retortment; the hybrid held... the rush of emotions he felt had been all too new. Within him palms ki poured into every crevice of his cells, causing them to vibrate at a heightened speed till it felt as though they would erupt in a fury of flames. His mind playing with the thought of his own death even, something like those who had been before him... laying on the ground headless... or in a small crater with survivors peering over the edges down upon his useless and mangled body... Something within Goten urged him forward, curling his fingers into the beam to send his own counter in an upheaval which sent a wave of his own blue colored ki energy to rival with that of the Space Pirate's own attack.

Two they were, both at the end of what would be a life or death situation had it not been for the determination the two warriors held within their body and pride. Goten's interaction to cause a delay was a second too late as he was now on the losing side of the push, his blast was the weaker of the duo causing an overpower to be almost inevitable. All seemed as though that the struggle for dominance would be a stale mate until a crackle from beneath the half blood's foot caused a glance from the hybrid down to his standing location...

The rocks beneath his feet had gather in an almost fleeing fashion to avoid the pushing factor that his beam feeding had upon the area about him. Now all that was stood a single narrow pillar under two tiny feet... which gave way almost as sudden as it had been created. Goten's small frame feel aside while his palms still continued the feed of energy into his blast, the beam instead of finding point head on with Bojack's attack slammed directly into the side of the horizontal column of ki. The now dual blasts followed each other in a rush as they slammed heavily upon the stasis generated wall which they had been concealed within, the mixture of concentrated ki energy and electrical force was enough to create an explosion of interesting force. The eruption of fire filled the small-enclosed area quickly; swallowing it with a gulp that started on the far right side and quickly inhaled the entire location of the sphere. Goten was the first to be thrown back for he contained less weight then his opponent, but neither was safe from the fury which came at them.

"AH-ha!" A shrill little cry came from the youth as his back slammed upon the wall of the force field, enough to send a rush of pain down his back in a quick shiver. The next crash was that made by the fighter whom he had been fighting against some ways to his right, both of them were grounded as the flames continued to carry themselves from the right side of the sphere, through the center, and carrying on to where they would consume the two. "If I'm gonna live... then..." The child looked crossed a moment, every Saiya-jin gene in his body yelling and preying upon his human interests to help until...

A blinding light flashed, causing the force of the explosion to reach full potential as the entire inside of the large ball became bound in flames. Within the insides nothing moved nor even showed the slightest sign of life till the azure colored flicker of something picked up along one of the sides... a small body stood with its knees slightly bent, arms pulled up so that the small one's forearms shielded his face, dark blue clothing with a mix of an orange over clothing rippled with the large amount of energy that came from the being that created this dome of ki that coursed over his body... as well as that of the Space Pirates... The crashing of fire ceased as Goten let his arms drop to his sides, wasted of what energy was left coursing through his body from the amount that was taken from supplying the force field from breaking. The demi-Saiya-jin turned to Bojack who was still in a leaned back position from the push he received from the first wave of energy that occurred during the beginning of the explosion with... a small smile?
"You... helped Pan... thanks." Muttered the words of a worn little boy as his eyes glazed with fatigue and judgment. Goten didn't want to kill again, it was too soon, especially someone who befriended... a friend. With a small sigh Goten's legs bent, sending him backward to lay upon his back. He did rush into another battle too soon then what his body could handle; this drop of energy had been the outcome of it...

(FIGHT: Bojack Vrs. Goten. Feel free to Rp again if you wish, Bojack.)

[Burter]

The reptile turned his head to look outside the bunker, and then spun about to look at the people in the room. "I'm going outside." He stated simply, and walked off.

The bulky man could hear the sounds of his fellow alliance members, and even the young girl known as Pan, following away from the bunker. It wasn't long before he found Android 18, watching the fight inside the stasis.

Burter prepared himself, just in case Goten couldn't pull out the victory

[Raditzu]

?Kill anyone yet? I?ve killed four people already.?

"Heheheh..." Raditzu scratched the back of his head with one hand and placed the other around 18's shoulder as he stepped up next to her. "Funny you should mention that. No, I haven't gotten the chance yet."

18 and Raditzu watched the two fighters battling within the stasis dome. Their fight was only slightly blurred by the shimmering energy of the field. It would be a close fight, no doubt about that. After a few minutes of watching, Raditzu squinted his eyes and leaned forward slightly. One of the fighters looked painfully familiar.

"Goten?" Rad tilted his head slightly. "Huh... small world."

"You know one of them?" 18 questioned.

"Yeah. The kid's my nephew."

Goten pulled himself up off of the ground, panting heavily. The other warrior did not look much better off than his opponent, but he had the wits about him to stedy his breathing and get a firm footing. With a cry, Goten charged. Bojack sank slightly, bracing his weight. As Goten came into range, Bojack's foot swept through the air. The midget half-breed's head snapped to one side and his body was sent tumbling. The kick had connected cleanly with his right temple. Bojack didn't waste anytime. Goten tried to push himself up from the ground once more, but was stopped as Bojack's knee slammed into his back, placed inbetween his shoulderblades. Goten tried to roll away, but he found himself solidly pinned. A massive arm wrapped around the youth's neck and pulled backwards.

"Well... that doesn't look comfortable." Rad commented.

Panic hit Goten as he felt his opponent's apendage cut of his flow of air. He struggled valiantly, but he was in a horrible position. As drained as he was of energy, and his short limbs made a bad combination for him. His struggling became weaker and weaker. Bojack wrenched backwards and held Goten for a second before letting go. The lifeless body of the youth dropped to the ground and Bojack had only enough energy to roll away. His breathing was heavy and he was slow to even begin standing up. Just as he managed to pull himself up to one knee, the stasis field around him faded and flickered out of existance.

"Not bad." Rad looked over to 18, who simply nodded. "Eh?"

Rad's ki sense sparked. He looked down towards Bojack's body, but he was almost completely drained of energy. Coming towards him fast, however, was another warrior. A familiar hue of blue streaked towards the battle weary space pirate. A grin spread across the face of the long-haired saiya-jin. Before Burter came within striking distance, a blast hit the ground between the pirate and the reptile. Burter stopped almost immediatly and his head snapped towards the originator of the attack. Rad's outstretched hand smoked slightly and he shot a smile towards the blue-skinned alien.

"You said you were bored, right babe?" Rad's arua flared and he lept into the air. "This could give us a bit of amusement."

OCB:

Bojack - +5000 zeni +1 point

Goten - Dead

Good fight, guys.

If Burter tries attacking Bojack, Rad and 18 will interrupt.

[Burter]

Burter tensed, both hands back and clenched. His teeth gritted against each other, both fists clenched against the palms. To say he was mad was an understatement, but even in his rage, he could tell reason from madness.

The reptile had been aware of Raditzu's presense in the area, as well as the Android whom he met in his time in Heaven. He also was very well aware that he couldn't defeat the saiyan himself. His head began to reel with different choices, and different solutions to each choice he made. Bojack was right there, ripe for the killing, yet there was always an obstacle.

Whenever Burter wanted action, Raditzu was there.

Raditzu was always there.

Burter looked back over his shoudler at Bra, looking at her very strongly and glaring daggers to try and make sure she'd pay attention. "Bra," he whispered, moving an arm to get her to step closer. She did, sure enough, and he gave her just the hint of a smile. "I'm going to take on Raditzu," he informed her, very sternly.

"What?!" He yelped in surprise, in complete shock. "No, you're not! He'll kill you!"

"I know." He said simply. "Take the others, and run. Go away, to another zone. Do NOT stay here."

Before she could say anything, Burter lept into the air. It took a few moments for Raditzu to see the dark reptilian moving towards him, the white aura leaving a streak accross the sky. Never one to back down, Rad jumps into the air as well. Right into Burter's trap.

The stasis opened, ensnaring both saiyan and reptile.

[]Fight, Raditzu vs Burter in the stasis[]

[Bra]

Bra whirled about nervously upon hearing a sound, only to see the remaining members of Pitch Black coming in on approach. Her mind raced, trying to calculate her options in the face of great adversity in the form of Android 18 while at the same time trying to block out the only fate Burter could possibly meet while trapped with the potentially psychotic powerhouse inside the stasis field. Android 18 began making slow, determined paces towards them, quickly removing time with which Bra could formulate a plan.

Please don't die, Burter. Please...

"Who's the freak?" the cyan-haired girl demanded, doing her best to act nonchalant, although it was very unlikely that a walking supercomputer like 18 actually fell for it.

"That's Cell." she replied, jerking her head over, to motion toward the rather disturbing-looking individual. He hissed, as if to introduce himself.

NOW!!!

18's motion toward Cell had distracted her just long enough. The halfling clicked off the pin on her stasis field grenade and hurled it at the androidess and her compatriot.

"What the-!?" she exclaimed as the metallic object bounced in between herself and Cell with a metallic clank. Immediately after the grenade stopped moving, a translucent explosion rushed outward, manifesting itself as a dome around Cell and 18, trapping them within. The android lunged forward and began pounding her fists against the field in anger, while her disturbingly mal-formed comrade simply looked on with a mix of curiosity and surprise.

"I guess we take Bojack down now, huh?" 16 observed with a smirk, and took a confident step toward the fallen space pirate.

"No, 16!! Burter's gonna die, 16." Bra replied, her voice failing under grief, "Come on! Can we please just do what he wants? Can we run away? Just this time?"

"Actually, it would be a wise choice to get away from here. Raditzu and the android obviously have some interest in that warrior," Paragus motioned toward Bojack, "So, it would be an entirely stupid idea to kill him, especially when we know just how strong the both of them are."

"Then we go now." Bulma stated, forming a radiant aura around herself. The fighters roared into a vertical climb, literally shattering the ground beneath them on take-off. After an indeterminate height was reached, the entourage broke into a haphazard left turn and shrieked over the horizon. The rolling hills and tall grass seemed to give way almost all at once to a barren wasteland of a region, with tiny patches of some sort of plant life thinly strewn about.

"It's colder here." Paragus observed, receiving a series of nods in agreement. As the group pressed onward, they were greeted with a light snowfall, and continuing even further, they found that the ground here was covered in ice and snow. Mountains loomed in the distance, and the only form of life was the occasional pine tree.

"W-W-What... there's no possible way that a place could be this cold! It's absolutely- Ha.... hachoo!!" Bra gripped her upper arms tightly, shaking from the cold. Her clothing was obviously not designed to protect her from the cold.

"We should get to a bunker." came the caring words of Bulma, who worried that her daughter would catch a cold.

"That's convenient. There's one right over there. We can re-stock, and continue on to wherever we're going." Android 16 decided.

"Y-Yeah, that works, I guess." Bra agreed, only half-listening to the suggestion. She was sold on the idea the moment 16 had said 'bunker', which equalled to 'warmth', and 'shelter'.

OOC: Bra/Bulma/16/Paragus entering Area A. Kami/Pan, the reason I left you out of the writing was because I was unsure if you guys wanted to continue. If you're still sticking with us, just RP that you're in the group, or whatever. I don't care how this is continued.

After his victorious battle against Uub, Goku left the cheering arena of bloodthirsty fans and reentered Dante. His blue aura pulsed proudly around his body as he felt the cool wind massage his cheeks. Soon enough, Goku could feel the energy levels of several familar warriors. Banking to his right, the Saiya-jin flew straight towards a small buildng from where he felt the power. He landed on the hard Dante ground and strolled in. The powers he felt started to trail away as they headed for a new destination, but Goku still recognised the old Namek Kami.

OOC: In the bunker where Kami is.
