With clear skies and a bright sun sweeping over the wooded mountain sides of the wilds, deep within these woods stalks a large looking horned dinosaur the was the size of an elephant. It currently was hunting for its next meal. However it was having very little luck until something shiny catches its eyes. For within its vision hops along a metallic slime which quickly caught sight of the drooling dino and suddenly the two run about through the woods. The metal slime blazing a trail with surprising speed, trying to weave through the tree whilst the dino blunders on through with no subtlety. The slime continues "running" as hard as it can heading towards a rather steep incline. The dino gives chase thinking it had the slime corners and makes one lunge to scoop it up. Only for the slime to drop down off the steep incline. The hungry predator goes off the ravine, takes a tumble towards a boulder and smashes it loose. It tumbles up onto it, literally riding said boulder down in desperation as it roars with a concerned cry towards a large thick line of trees. The slime hops back up from the small alcove it used to avoid being the snack of that lumbering dino and hops away content to go along with the rest of its day.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Our story begins within the Northern City, as the metropolis is caught within the hustle and bustle of a new day. A number of people were caught in traffic on the ground whilst several aircars navigate their way along the city line in order to find their way either towards work or just some decent parking. Agitated honking was a common noise for those having to walk. Buses were going about their routines to pick up waiting students at the bus stop to head for NC High School. There is an escalation of energy as a large scale event has taken hold for a number of people. The "City of Martial Arts" awaits this time with great anticipation. Several Schools had decorum to celebrate the day and open displays were able to be viewed by the public for the purposes of entertainment and gaining followers for the events. Restaurants and street vendors offer deals to attract tourism and superfans that come to see their local heroes fight. Each trying to make tourists part with hard earned cash. A few were plying their own trade at taking wallets from unsuspecting folk.<br/><br/>The World Tournament is well underway and the Preliminaries for Northern City are just around the corner. Martial Arts schools and the public schools alike are trying to put their best champions forward in order to come out on top. Everyone had their favorites and local and world icons of the sport were aiming to participate. Televisions had sports pundits debating upon whom would be taking the championship and the grand prize this year. This prize was especially juicy beyond the belt and prize money but the details on said prize were scant. However the hopefuls arrive, be it a high schooler roped up into a competition for school spirit, for the romantic affections of a woman, for pride and confirmation that they are the strongest fighter, or for mere enlightenment upon a whimsical journey to the west, they all find themselves within the thresholds of civilization.<br/><br/>What adventures await them? What dangers shall they encounter? Find out now on the newest installment of... Dragonball!
