OOC: Intro post.
"This fight's just starting to heat up!" Goku called out with a smile as he gracefully glided into the air, his blue spiky aura blazing about his body. Flipping his feet over his head, the Saiya-jin fighter poised his leg, aimed at the chest of Yamcha. He came soaring down, ready to begin the real battle, and then...
His foot passed straight though the human fighter and hit the ground. The powerful foot broke the ground, cracking around his heel. Suddenly, the ground shimmered from the grassy green into a sterile white. The blue sky was blocked out by a towering grandstand encompassing the entire area, filled with cheering and screaming spectators. Goku removed his foot from the broken tile before him and scanned over the hundreds of tiles laid out to form the arena he stood in. Around the arena was filled with green grass, where a man holding a microphone stood.
"Oh, what is this?" Goku complained. "I bet all this teleporting is giving me cancer." The only warping that Goku wanted to do was the warping that he was consciously in control of. He was sure he didn't just teleport with his technique; something else moved him. It was quite annoying too. His battle with Yamcha was just heating up. The Saiya-jin found a small green bean in his palm. It looked very similar to a bean that grew in a special place on Earth, a senzu bean. Studying it cautiously, he placed it in his mouth and chewed, instantly feeling the revitalising effects.
"Welcome everyone to the first Dante's Abyss Main Event!" the announcer suddenly yelled into the microphone. His voice was amplified ten fold throughout the stadium, spurring on an unbridled cheer from the occupants. Goku turned to face the man dressed in the seeming Dante's Abyss official uniform. "As you all already know, the Dante's Abyss officials randomly selected two warriors from the battlefield and teleported them here to the main arena for the first tournament battle!" Another roar from the crowd erupted, filling the contestant's ears. "Here are your first two warriors, battling for your entertainment!"
Goku felt the tiles beneath his feet shake as a piece of the landscape behind the announcer hissed out steam. The top of the ground slid open and a large, flat plasma screen eased upwards until it was fully exposed, clanking into place. The huge screen turned on, displaying a large spinning three dimensional image of the tournament's initials, "DA".
"First, we show to you, the Saiya-jin warrior Goku!" the announcer boomed into the microphone. The screensaver flickered away, revealing a spinning image of Goku. His name appeared in large white letters and a detailed list of his abilites scrolled beneath it. "As you can see, Goku is quite a seasoned warrior. Born of a powerful fighting race, he has mastered the pinnacle of his race, the Super Saiya-jin transformation, and even trained with the gods themselves!" The crowd once again vocalised their enthusiasm. The huge screen flickered again to reveal an image of the Saiya-jin's opponent. The letters read 'Uub'.
Goku looked across the arena tiles to see a small tanned warrior with a black mohawk, intently watching the details of Goku before they vanished. The Saiya-jin probed him with his ki sense and felt little power, but a dormant energy within him. Uub turned his head, meeting Goku's gaze. Would this warrior prove to be an even better test of the Saiya-jin's new found powers than Yamcha?
