Reaching down Tapion plucked out a small innocent blade of grass from the dry earth beneath his feet, placing the light brown root of the small plant between his rainbowed lips the konat?s steady gaze continued to take in his tranquil surroundings. A faint soothing breeze swept gingerly across the plains causing the nearby trees and bushes to rattle ever so gently. The irony of such a beautiful island, a place seemingly carved from the very myths of paradise themselves, to soon play host for a literal blood bath brought a small grin to the non-transformer?s face.
Well? the crimson haired fighter thought to himself, daring not to speak aloud for fear of any near by contestants overhearing his vocals. Might as well see what I?ve got to work with. As if to punctuate the last word of his sentence Tapion flung the small black DA appointed duffle bag -which he had found on his bed in the barracks- from over his shoulder onto a small patch of dirt before him.
Quickly unzipping the small fabric coated container and shuffling through its contents with his free hand, Tapion pulled out the first item of interest which his gloved palm brushed over. An almost apple sized piece of machinery with an attached glass lens tinted a light shade of green. A scouter as they were so called back in the civilized world.
Placing the small mechanical device over his right ear with the green visor also positioning itself before his eye, the crimson haired fighter gently pressed in the sole button on the side of the contraption. From prior experience Tapion knew the function of these things was to detect the ki signatures of near by life forms, but the outdated model he now wore atop his face only flickered a momentary message stating ?No readable powerlevels in distance?.
?Must only work for short range?? the non-transformer caught himself speaking accidentally aloud under his breath. It didn?t matter though, he knew he shouldn?t be staying in one place for long anyway. As quickly as he had unpacked his parcel of goodies Tapion just as swiftly zipped the black bag back up and slung it over his shoulder once again. The half crescent moon still lingered high in the sky, but in no time at all daylight would be looming, and one thing the mighty Konat-Jin did not want to be was unprepared come the first signs of the morning sun.
