Area C: Day Four

[Reijin]

Area C is controlled by Burter and Android 18

"My... Lord? You called for me?"

The footsteps echoed within the chamber of Lord Frost, the Changeling Emporer at the head of Synex Corporation and the harbringer of this Dante's Abyss.

"Yes... The two fighters in the arena... They are still battling, ignorant of the fact that they are but roaches here, both already dead. Therefore... Kill them both. The crowd grows bored of this." Frost barely finished his words before the crowd began to cheer wildly.

The soldier saluted, and acknowledged Frost's command. "Yes, my Lord."

"Wait."

The soldier froze in his tracks. "Yes, my Lord?"

The sound of drumming fingers were heard on the windowsill. "It would seem that the fight has finally come to a conclusion. The Saiyan has won, annihilating the human that he was fighting."

The soldier turned, careful to remain silent. Frost turned, his tall form towering over the soldier. "I wish for two more fighters to be inside that arena by the end of the day. Send the other one away."

Day Four will end on Wednesday, January 26th.

[Ruhiel]

Rain continued to fall on the dark and dead battlefield of Area C. The two combatants stared each other down, trying to figure out if the other one was bluffing about their lack of injuries. Android 20 knew he was in trouble. He had wasted far too much energy on that one superfluous attack, and now he would have to be much more conservative. But the saiyan girl showed almost no signs of weariness, which was very unnerving. 20 had to do something, but what? The only two attacks she hadn?t seen yet were the Nova and his energy draining capabilities. He didn?t dare risk using Nova yet, it would waste the rest of his already depleted energy levels. However, the girl was so darn strong it was almost impossible to get close enough to use the energy draining technique. But, it was his only hope at the time, and he was going to give it his all? or die trying.

Android 20 let his dark aura engulf him once more, signaling to Selipa that the battle was to begin once more. The android lunged forward, causing a wave of mud and water to spray behind him. The deluge that consumed the battlefield was making it increasingly difficult to see, so both fighters charged at each other blindly.

Both fighters were much more tired than they were before, but neither of them intended to show it. Their punches moved slower than they used to, and their reflexes were sluggish as well. But they fought on blindly, pushing themselves to the edge to come out on top.

Flashes of lightning illuminated the theatre of war, revealing the two fighters in a different spot, throwing a different attack each time. They danced about the cloudburst, following the forever-rehearsed scheme of attacks that they both knew so well. It seemed as though the very heavens themselves were watching this battle as the bolts of lightning crashed down each time one of the fighters managed to hit the other.

The android knew this battle couldn?t possibly last much longer. He could hear his internal generator humming loudly from all the strain he was putting on his body. He had to act now, or else he would most certainly fall to the saiyan warrior. He saw the dim outline of the girl come plunging through the rain at him, fist extended outwards towards his face. Twenty threw up a hand and grabbed her fist in his. She countered by launching a second punch with her other hand, which 20 grabbed as well. They were in a stalemate. Neither fighter would let the other one break through their defense as the struggled on the ground. Their feet began sliding backwards in the muddy terrain as they attempted to destroy one another.

The machine knew this was his one opportune chance. He allowed both of his energy receptors to open, and began vacuuming energy into himself from the girl. At first, Selipa wasn?t sure what was going on, or why she suddenly felt as if she was about to throw up. But the realization appeared in her mind vividly as she realized that androids were capable of draining the energy right out of life forms.

Selipa shot a knee into the android?s stomach, forcing him to let go, and he crumpled to the ground, holding his stomach. He had managed to drain enough energy so he would be able to last long enough to finish the battle, but that didn?t mean the saiyan had lost much at all. Selipa, furious that she had allowed herself to fall into the machine?s trap, sent a sharp elbow into the android?s spine, knocking him face-first into the over-saturated ground.

He lay there silently, but slowly, his face emerged, covered in the filth. But his eyes were golden. Selipa recognized this attack, and leapt out of harm?s way as the two thin beams of energy shot by her.

The android catapulted himself out of the ground. He had enough energy stored in him to allow him to perform the Nova at full power now, but he wasn?t even sure if it would be enough. The saiyan appeared to have far too much energy left in her, even after he had sucked out some and given it to himself.

Selipa grinned at the android, and cracked her neck while she looked at him. They both knew the battle would be over soon, and one wouldn?t live to see another day. The mechanoid grinned back at her, and they flew at each other once again.

The rain continued to fall on the combatants as the endless waltz continued. Neither fighter was going to lose this battle without dieing it seemed. The fight was drawing to a close as lightning cracked down, revealing the awe-inspiring battle laid out before the crowd.

OOC: Hope this is pretty good. Your post next Selipa, then it's grading time! By the way, you rp really good.

[Reijin]

Android 20 leapt into the air, flinging a quick blast at Selipa. "Are you ready to-" Mid sentence, he began to suddenly feel strange. His attention shifted from Selipa to the collar at his throat, beeping wildly. Impossible! He'd entered a bunker before! He looked at Selipa. "I've been cheated out of this vic-" As one, every cell in his Android body imploded into itself, and the blood splattered all over Selipa.

She shyed away from it, covering her eyes, and then looked in the direction of her former adversary, his collar lying on the ground. "Time's up." she whispered.

Android 20: Dusted (Disabled Bunker)

[Bardock]

Swiftly and silently, a shadow leapt from tree base to tree base in the dark timbers of Area C. A gloom permeated the atmosphere so thickly that it depressed the very soul. The very earth on which you stood was soft and plotted with hazardous quagmires. A forbidding nature skulked around every bush, every tree, every lurking corner of the morose woodland. It was as if a living putrescence had integrated itself into the insentient backdrop. By comparison, Area D was its extreme contrast. A barren wasteland could hardly correlate with a dense forest. Even the heat was different. While the sun blazed onto the dry earth of D, a humid, muggy atmosphere hung thickly in the air of C, exacerbating the rate of fatigue. In summation, the forest exuded pure evil.

In fact, it was this dastardly thicket that had grounded Bardock in the first place, not only barring his flight pattern indefinitely but preventing him from seeing below the consolidated canopy that acted as umbrella to the moor. The Saiya-jin did not fear the gloom. No, that was not it at all. It presented a feeling of unease. He supposed that was what made fighting more interesting. Not only were they up against one another, they were pitted against nature itself. As foreigners, they weren't harmonic with Dante's symbiosis, increasing their odds of disfavor on the hostile planet.

A decaying branch cracked free from its trunk, the dry bark splintering lustily. Out of pure instinct, Bardock raised a well-muscled arm and opened his palm, unleashing a hasty blast of constructed Ki at the source of the discord. The entire upper half of the timber was shattered into fragments, leaving nothing it its wake but a charred stump of smoking, jagged lumber. Strangely, no birds flocked, nor did any woodland creatures scatter. The sound had gone unheard, unnoticed, or unheeded. The black-haired brawler cursed himself for being so anxious. It was difficult to remain calm in an inhospitable environment. Without further ado, the Saiyan moved on as quickly and silently as possible. Stealth and concentration were of the utmost importance.

Still nothing. No woman. No mysterious fighter without a powerlevel. Nothing. Not a soul existed, save for the blurring shadow that sprinted through the lonely darkness. It wasn't until Bardock happened upon some bipeds in uniform that he realized he wasn't alone.

Synex soldiers.

Their sole purpose in life was to hunt down and kill any stray combatants left in the tournament. Using a trick he had picked up on Earth, the evolved ape pushed down his Ki output, making him more difficult to track on radar. He was unaware of any innate energy sensing skills, and thought it best to continue. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. In this case, there was nothing to be gained at all. He would not be paid or rewarded for killing these buffoons. Bardock craved a bigger prize. Slipping past them did not prove to be difficult; the proficiency of these soldiers was preposterous. As he continued to skirt the Synex garrison, the environment slowly became more swamplike.

Within no time at all, Bardock happened upon a bunker. The walls were covered in foliage that oozed slime. It looked like it hadn't been used in decades. The man hadn't entered an outpost for the day, and figured that now would be a good time to get a quick fix for the collar. Bardock pressed his back up against a nearby tree. His scouter read no human danger, but that didn't exclude the possibility that there weren't mechanical means of defense.

Flash!

One second the warrior was behind the tree, and the next he was within the confines of the safehouse. The collar was mollified for another twenty-four hours. Everything was copacetic. Bardock was in no need of rest, food, or medical supplies as of yet, so he was there and gone, in search of his ever-elusive quarry.


OOC: Bardock has entered and exited the southwestern bunker of Area C, and in hot pursuit of Selipa.

[Old Selipa]

Blood dripping down her body the Saiya-jin was dazed, she had never seen such a spectacle in her life and it was not one she would forget in many moons to come. The rain that danced upon her face began to stop its soft rhythm with the end of the battle, ever so rapidly as it has started. Raising her hands the blood of her antagonist all over her attractive skin Selipa knew that she had to arrive at a bunker and unsoil herself. She could not go on in the sight that her figure appeared in.

It was as if the essence of her foe remained along her, his red blood beginning to dry upon her body the thought disgusted herself. It now was imperative to clean her once virgin membrane. Each leg separating as they lowered to push off the ground, thrusting her body into the sky.

Selipa was air-born in no time and set on one goal to have herself a bath, and after several minutes she had arrived near a bunker. Covered in foliage she hide behind a tree, making sure the area was clear and no one could get her of guard. The girl after careful analyzing was about to make her move just as she saw a figure exit the bunker with hast. Either he was looking for someone or something was in the bunker, but the girls scouter read nothing inside.

Selipa was off quickly into the bunker, she ran up the stairs taking off her fabrics one at a time and tossing them all over the area having no concern. With only her tight black leather tong and bra on she opened the door to the bathroom. Gradually the door opened, its hinges not making a sound as she entered the room. Bending down she turned the hot water on, condensation quickly racing up to her face she blinked several time and then stood up straight. Turning around she saw her form in the mirror. A horrid reflection, showing the dehydrated blood all over her arms and legs but for her face where the steam had made it moist again. Looking on into her eyes the blood dripped down into her iris covering her sight with ruddiness colour.

?Oh Fuck!? screamed the girl as her knees caved in following soon with her on the ground. Her hands rubbing vigorously both eyes she began to cry. Whimpering with her lips shaking.

Later rising up not daring to look herself in the mirror she placed her legs in the temperate clear water that soon reddened with her foes liquids that where deposited upon her pelt. Lowering the rest of her body her cuts burned with pain but this she liked for it took her mind of the sight she had seen, the androids death.

While her body relaxed in the water for hours she rose, water flowing down her outline. After drying up she replaced her old clothes with new and unsoiled her Armour, and as her garment dried out she sat on the floor with her legs crossed and her eyes closed.

Opening her eyes she sun was now in a different position on the planet, Selipa had been meditating for what seemed several hours. This was what she needed to try and heal herself and her mind, the youth?s energy was stronger now but how strong? Battle could only tell. Placing her amour back on she walked to the kitchen to grab something to eat, felling her body up it was time to go out again. Exiting the doorway Selipa looked on into the sun, its rayed falling down on her once again virgin soft tissue. Taking to the trees so not to bring any suspicion to herself the girl was off.

OOC: Entered and exited the southwestern bunker of Area C. You can come find me now Bardock and we can fight.

[Old Selipa]

Maneuvering through the tropical forest treetops with elegance, the Saiya-jin used her tail to swing from branch to branch. Strengthening her one feeble blemish, but with the training her tail become strong and once her weak area, was no more. The girl was trying to think other then the death of her foe android 20, thinking if she would ever assemble up with him for her heart had grown tender of the humanoid/machine character through out their battle.

But that was the past and the youth was after another quarry to please the audience, one that would hopefully not turn to dust before her eyes and rain blood upon her flesh. The girl was wondering as to how many fighters stood on the planet, how many would she win over till her death came.

?Best to keep ones optimisms up and think not about demise.? Said the girl to herself to boost moral for it was very low and this could effect her fighting skills if she where to battle anytime soon.

Taking a rest on one of treetops the girl-heard voices from under her rear, the leaves covering her sight she popped her head down through the foliage to see who was under. But this was not a smart idea; several armed forces stood talking to each other.

?Shit!? her eyes opened, with terror. ?Way to many to take on, I got to get out of here.? Thought the female to herself as she left the treetop to the next one. Making her way out of the jungle to a bare area.

Jumping out of the last treetop that bordered between the jungle and the open lands Selipa landed gracefully, turning around to see if she had not bee followed.

?Good, I?ve been looking for you.? Spoke a deep male voice from the other side of Seliap?s viewing range as she placed her tail back in her armour for no one to get at, as a cold sweat dripped down her face she turned to see a male Saiya-jin situated with his arms crossed.

?Hey its you, that abnormal guy.? Said Selipa but quickly putting her hands over her lips knowing that what she said was meant to be a deliberation not a chat with the other Saiya-jin.

OCC: Fight between Selipa and Bardock. I role-played them both meeting up and now we can fight.

[Reijin]

Reijin's breathing slowed to a normal tone as he rested on a couch within the bunker. He was a bit surprised at all the things he found inside. He had already eaten a decent meal, and had taken a warm shower to sooth his blackened body. That's if you could call a rag under a sink a warm shower, of course. It wasn't exactly like some medical bay, but not really like his headquarters either. It was simply a building, filled with a few essentials and some not. He still had his original stasis grenade and senzu bean, and his arm was pretty well intact.

He sat up on the couch and stretched his limbs. A chilly draft wafted inside from the bunker's entrance, and voices were heard. "Shit..." he mumbled. His cozy little cottage had been disturbed. He yawned, and stood up, walking to the entrance to greet the new arrivals. Whether they had arrived to kill him or not, there would be no blood spilled within the bunker itself. Reijin had not even cared enough to activate the turrets to the place. What good would they do with only one man inside? He had no intentions on holing himself up in here. He heard a group of four, maybe five, people walking down the stairway, and he stood at the bottom, awaiting them.

**OOC- 16, you guys are in the same bunker as I am.**

[Bra]

"Okay, let's just collect our supplies, and head out." Paragus advised, not wanting to waste anymore time within the exceedingly drab series of bunkers which had been scattered generously throughout the lands.

What the!?

Something caught the cyan-haired girl's attention, and she stopped stiffly. Her actions were enough to bring her comrades to a halt, as they silently waited for some indication of what had gone wrong.

"There's somebody here." Bra stated, before cautiously venturing further down the poorly-lit stairway, stopping upon reaching eye-level with their host, a frown of annoyance painted on his sleep-deprived face.

"To whom do I owe this disturbance?" he demanded. Bra made her way down the the bunker's floor, followed by her friends, and merely pushed past the callous warrior, making sure to have her shoulder collide with him just hard enough for him to notice.

"Shut up." she replied, heading toward a bulky, olive-green weapons locker. Once again, Bra seemed to be restrained by some invisible force, preventing her from continuing with her actions.

"Wait, I think that's..." the girl began, affixing her scouter to the side of her head, "It is! That's Kami!!"

"There's something wrong." 16 replied, having also locked on to the old man's unique energy signature.

"He's hurt. Oh no, that must mean he's in trouble!!" the hybrid exclaimed, pivoting gracefully on the heel of her left foot. The girl rocketed forward, around the original occupant of the bunker, and up the stairs. A violent, blue-and-white streak cut through the air, whirling about before accelerating once more in a straight line, heading directly for Kami's extremely high- yet wildly fluctuating -level of ki. Though Bra would assuredly leave her friends far behind, she was adamant that they would meet up with her in eventuality. For now, another friend was in trouble, and she owed him a favor.

OOC: Leaving Area C, entering area B. Nobody's obligated to follow me, so decide what it is you want to do. And Reijin... eh heh, well, you can do whatever it is you see fit to do.

[Bardock]

"Abnormal?" Bardock grinned, tail flickering anxiously. He completely ignored the fact that the woman intended to skip all conversation. "We haven't even been properly introduced yet, have we?"

The she-Saiyan returned the smile, though it was not entirely amicable. "Selipa."

"Bardock."

"Let's cut the banter and get right to it," Selipa urged.

"Not a problem with me. Ladies first."


OOC: PC Fight: Bardock versus Selipa
Shorter than short, I promise the next one will be worth your while.

[Android-18]

The small girl had taken off, 18 only watched her with slight interest. She was nothing to her; she could be easily eliminated later. The android turned toward Raditzu, he was shaking out the icy remnants of snow she had shoved into his armor. She seemed to muse about something until finally deciding on her thoughts.

?Let?s get out of here, maybe there?s something more interesting going on in the other area.? She said and turned toward the south. It was time they got some action, things were getting dull and that was not a good thing. The blond girl gave Raditzu a smirk and took to the air. He joined her and they both flew at top speed for Area C.

The climate began to change as they neared the boarder. The ground changed from white to brow, it also looked wet and swampy. The two warriors paid no mind to the land below, they instead searched out with their senses. 18 noticed a few familiar ki signatures out in the land, a few sparked her interest. ?There?s a fight going on.? Her eyes darted toward the direction of the fight. ?Let?s go check it out, shall we?? They both grinned in anticipation.

18 flew toward the two ki signatures and did not stop until she made out the two figures fighting. The Saiya-Jin and android landed a short distance from them. It was then that she recognized the female warrior. ?This will prove interesting.? She cocked her head and smiled.

OOC: Entered area C.

[Old Selipa]

The girl was aggravated to a point as the wind danced along her soft skin, all around smoothly caressing her. She was irritated at the dilemma that stood before her, her dilemma was a Saiya-jin male that eluded her thoughts and this she did not appreciate. He was lofty and well built, older then her and scared from many vast battles that only a true Saiya-jin dare to fight in.

Now it was time to settle the problem how warriors would, attack and ask questions at a later date. Would it prove to be the most shrewd course to take she knew not, the thrill of battle clouded the youths brittle mind with lust and blood she was ready to begin the ever stupendous brawl.

Pulsating with her fabulous energy the girl was at a high, totally pumped with desire for her foe. ?Ki-Shield times two? yelled the girl as her blue aura stunningly jumped to life around her, following by a golden pulsation around her that crumpled the land beneath her feet with fear. The golden dome expanding towards her competitor as he placed his guard up was he soon to be swallowed by the semi-sphere that pastured from the ground.

Only the audience could wonder to what was happening inside the barrier as they viewed upon the energy bubble that covered a small landmass. But inside, was the male Saiya-jin recovering from the blinding light. He was soon greeted ever so gracefully by a round kick to the head. His body flinging back and ricocheting off the golden barriers wall forward again to the female Saiya-jin while she came crashing down with a punch into the males abdomen. The force tossing him with such a great speed through the shield for it was not extensively powerful.

The arena beginning to fade away with Selipa standing strong her breasts moving up and down from her dynamic thrusting she was just getting started, knowing that her attack had done nothing to her foe but hopefully pleased the spectators.

With Bardock recuperating from the girl?s feeble attack he was now entirely awake and would take the girl to be a serious competitor.
