Several people had come into the building after Paci came in. They were all pretty powerful to her, but it was Ryke Soundel, the same guy from before, who she focused on. He was as strong as her, she knew it. She sensed it before when he introduced himself to her. She knew he would be her greatest challenge.
Just then, several people began walking in. The first, a human woman wearing the orange uniform of the Turtle school, smiled at everyone in the room as she read the clipboard.
"Paci Mikito? I'm going to assume she isn't a human. Must be either a Majin. Whatever the case, I hope she's ready, because I have a date with Ken Anderson, and he's going to pay for beating me in the finals last year," said the blonde woman, her altoish voice taking on one of anger when mentioning Ken Anderson. Paci then realized that this must have been Pamela, and she was shocked at Pamela's power level. Pamela was stronger than both Paci and Ryke, even though it was only by a little bit. As she moved away, a Blizzarian woman with green orbs all over her body read the clipboard before smiling. She was wearing a
warrior kimono, and was still in her first form.
"Mm... Ryke Soundel... Sounds yummy. Too bad he's losing today."
She then walked away, and as she did, Paci sensed her power level. She was strong, but not as strong as most of the people in the room. Nodding at the power level, Paci turned to find herself in someone's shadow... A gigantic Namekian.
"Excuse me little miss," said the gentle giant wearing the Crane school uniform as he moved to the side of Paci's chair, getting past and heading to the clipboard. He then read it, nodding as he did so. Paci just shook her head. She had sensed his power level. It was lower than hers. She was expecting it to be higher. The giant Namekian then walked away from the clipboard, looking at the people around him.
"Good to see you here Pamela."
"You too Fluto," said Pamela, who nodded and smiled at the Namekian. "Still mad about me beating you last year?"
"I got over that part, but I still haven't gotten over the fact that I lost to a student of the Turtle style. Do you know a Gin Kage by chance?"
"Nope. Sure don't. He your opponent?"
"Yep."
With that, Fluto stood next to the doorway, waiting as thousands of people suddenly began screaming while the announcer spoke. Another voice was then heard, but Paci couldn't make out what they were saying.
"Hmph. Johnathan Brooks? I just hope that he'll be able to take just one of my ki blasts. Don't want a repeat of last year. I sent that poor sap to the hospital," said a short individual reading the clipboard. He was a male human, and he appeared to be in great shape. His outfit was a simple pair of brown denim jeans and a white t-shirt, while he wore a black jacket with the Capsule Corp symbol on it. Meanwhile, Paci's jaw was slightly lowered, just not because of his power level. He looked almost EXACTLY like the statue of the great Vegeta in West City, even down to his hair. His hair, unlike Vegeta, was blue instead. Yeah, he was a Breigh, without a doubt.
As Paci regained her composure, her thoughts were interrupted by a loud voice.
"I AM THE CHAMPION, AND I PLAN ON KEEPING MY TITLE! Why? Because, I am the 'Strongest Under The Heavens.' I am MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER KEEEEEEEN AAAAAAANDEEEEEEERSOOOOOOON!" shouted an individual outside. After he shouted this, Paci looked out the door of the building she was in, and she saw a man standing in the center of the arena, holding the "Strongest Under The Heavens"
golden title belt ((Just saying, instead of the K-1 as you see in the pic, it says "Strongest Under The Heavens.")), which also read "World Champion." Paci stared at the belt for a while, imagining herself wearing it, until she felt a power level that made her jaw drop. There was someone stronger than her, Ryke, and even Pamela here, and he was the Martial Arts Champion of the World.
As
Mr. Ken Anderson gave the microphone back to the announcer ((think the announcer from the series. Different person, looks the same)), he held the title up for the crowd to see. When seeing this, most of the crowd cheered, but there were parts of it that booed. Upon hearing the cheers, Ken jumped into the air and flew around the arena, showing the people his title, smiling his cocky smile. He then landed outside of the builing the other fighters were in and walked right in like he owned the place, putting the title around his waist as he took off his camo ball cap, throwing it to a chair nearby.
"What up *****es?" he asked to everyone in the room, shining a smile that would make anyone sick. He was cocky, he was arrogant, and Paci just wanted to punch his teeth out of his skull, but she knew better as she watched him walk to the clipboard and read it.
"Jeriba Shigan huh? Sounds Namekian. I've never fought one before... Not that it matters, because I'm the strongest ******* there is."
... ((When you all see this on my posts, it means a scene cut))
"I... I did it... I finally have them..." said an old man, looking at the seven orange balls covered in stars that sat on top of a white blanket. The old man was out in the middle of the wilderness somewhere, where he had found the last of the Dragonballs, which ironically was the Four-Star ball. "After twenty years... Twenty long years of searching, I finally found them... The Alpha Dragonballs..."
The old man looked to be in his late seventies and was dressed in a black robe with white pants. He was bald, and he appeared to have not eaten in a week. He was bone-thin.
"Now... The ancient god Selladrin shall walk the Earth once more! This time though... He will bow to me."
...
"Ah Pamela! How nice to see the wench I smacked around last year!"
"Don't get too cocky Ken. You barely won last year, and you know it."
"Yeah yeah... Whatever. Just know that that I've been training my ass off so that situation won't come up again."
Pamela then gave Ken Anderson a look that would have surely destroyed him if looks could kill. Ken just didn't even notice as he sat down, waiting for his match. Several young men then walked in, dressed in ordinary clothing. They each looked at the clipboard and smiled, shouting that they were going to win, when, in fact, Paci knew that they wouldn't make it past the first round. The highest power level among them was, as she would guess, 6,000. Very disappoiting.
"Okay people! Now that everything is figured out allow me to explain the rules," said the announcer, walking into the building. "First off, don't worry about ki blasts this year. We have made some changes to the technology of this stadium, which now makes a durable force field that could surely take anything you guys can throw at it. Anyways, in order to win, you must do one of three things. First, you can send your opponent outside of the ring to the ground or force field. Remember, you are considered out if ANY part of you touches the force field or ground. Second, if you can incapicitate your opponent for ten seconds, you win. Just don't kill your opponent, okay? If you do, not only are you out, but you'll be arrested on the spot by the Galactic Police Force. Finally, if your opponent says "I give up" at any point in the match, you win. Now to get to the specifics. No weapons or items are allowed in the tournament. You are only allowed to use what is a part of you here. If you brought a weapon, please find a spot to leave it. No kicking below the belt, and no eye pokes. Now, are we ready for our first match?"
"I'm ready!" said Pamela, standing up and walking in front of the announcer. Paci then stood up and walked to the announcer to, standing to Pamela's left. She was nervous, as she would be fighting the second strongest person here. Nonetheless, she was gonna go through with this, and Paci planned on winning damn it.
"Paci's ready," said the Majin woman, standing tall and confident.
"In that case, follow me!"
As the announcer led the way to the arena, people began chanting Pamela's name as she waved at the crowd. She had almsot won last year, which probably explained why she was popular. Her good looks were probably also a plus. Paci, meanwhile, could have sworn she heard men whistling at her and Pamela throught the stadium.
"Ladies and Gentleman! I present to you the first battle of Round 1 of the World Martial Arts Tournament: newcomer Paci Mikito versus last year's finalist Pamela Lynn!" said the announcer into his microphone as the crowd cheered and chanted Pamela's name, who waved at the crowd. Paci, meanwhile, smiled when she heard some people chant her name instead. Her confidence being boosted, she began jumping up and down, much to the delight of the male Majin, humans, and Blizzarians in the crowd.
"Paci's gonna win! Paci's gonna win!" shouted Paci, who stopped jumping when she saw the look on Pamela's face. It was one of dead seriousness, and Paci knew this was going to be the toughest fight she had ever been in. So, she got in a fighting stance, but she continued smiling as the announcer stayed outside of the ring. His hand was raised high into the air.
"Ready!"
Both Paci and Pamela's muscles tensed up.
"Set!"
"I hope you're ready Princess," said Pamela from across the ring, now smriking at Paci. Paci simply giggled a little bit.
"BEGIN!"
With that, the anouncer's hand came down as Paci and Pamela charged at each other full speed, power levels at their peaks.
