Dante's Abyss Sign-Ups and Pre-Show Information

[Retane]

"Dante's Abyss" the namekian observed a black banner with red, blood like, writing.

Retane looked on, from atop of a plateau, down into the valley that held a native village. The excited commotion had drawn the mercenary from his temporary resting spot under the cover of the outskirts of a wooded area. A ship had landed on the outskirts of the village, bringing a hault to all chores as the namekian clan looked on.

The hosts of the ship had set of a high banner and a few tables and chairs right outside of the ship. Only the village elder appraoched the desk where one human sat while the rest or the village stood back.

"Why do you come here and disturb our home each year", began the elder. "No one here wishes to fight in your silly little competition. No warriors live here in these parts. Save us the misery and just go now."

The human offered no reply as he just looked on, bored of hearing the same ol', same ol'. He hated coming here as he never got any challengers to step up and join the fight to the death tournament form this area. Little had he known, he was going to get what he wanted.

A lone warrior, dressed in a black cloak, pushed through the crowd, and passed the elder namek. Trailing his path came the arachnid he had become freinds with in the past coming days. All eyes soon were focused on this being of mystery.

"He asked you to leave, but you do not. Why is that human?" Retane's voice rang with seriousness, as he attempted to scare these intruders with a bluff.

"Because I was sent here to register fighters that wish to join Dante's Abyss", retorted the human as he stood up. His adrenaline pumped as he surveyed the hidden humanoid. It possibly could be a fighter.

"What is this Abyss", questioned Retane as he took the bait.

"A tournament, battle royal style. Last man standing wins. Everyone in the universe is invited to sign up with their application", boasted the host, hoping to lure his potential victim in. Though he could not see the eyes or face of the namekian, the human knew that he didn't have his catch on the hook yet. "If you join, I promise to leave this kind village alone!"

Retane honestly could care less, he was intrigued by the idea but his mission held him back.

As if empathic, a vocie chimed in to answer his inner questions, "Go. We have ample time to retrieve the Tokens after your tournament. While you are gone I shall seek out their locations."

The namekian mercenary looked back to Lecath, his eight legged ally. The spider was right. He did have time and he desired the adventure, plus he had a chance to meet and recruit allies of his cause while he was there. Retane nodded as his problems were solved and never looked as he approached the desk.

'I shall return Lecath, my friend", called the namekian withoutturning his head. "I'll join the Abyss", stated the mercenary as he lowered his hood, squinting in pain from the bright suns that tormented him daily.

"Great", exclaimed the host as he sat down and grabbed a pen, 'Namekian, from planet Namek", spoke the human as his hand etched the information. "Name?"

"Retane."

"Ok great then. Now go stand over there and when I say go, I want you to give me a sample of your skills", Ushered the alein of the planet.

The warrior did as he was told. He had a small idea on what he would do. When the word came, Retane threw back his cloak and entered a fighting stance. His gaze met the camera with a look of seriousness. A grey aura formed around the nameiak as his power spiked within seconds.Placing his palms together, energy began to form. Soon the energy turned from white to a smoky hazed color. Drawing his cupped hands to his sides, the namekian charged more power into the attack.A smirk edged on his face.

"Shotgun!"

The energy in his hands seemed to jump at the word.

"Kamehameha!"

As the green arms shot forward, the massive energy surge scattered into peices. The camera and equipment near it caught the energy full forced and became nothing put mere partical dust. The namek looked at the human as he returned to his normal stature, "Now what?"

The human just pointed towards a teletube. Retane had seen one before and knew what he had to do. He entered it, ready for the adventure that lie in wait.
