The day before when Netto was closing up shop, his communicator went off. The z-force was ready for to meet up for new comer introductions and to talk about future endeavors however Marku wouldn't be there due to him being busy with the crane school. He went up stairs and let Zam and Asuka know they had the meeting tomorrow but didn't give specifics saying " ill explain everything tomorrow. Just be sure your here in the morning, we'll be leaving about 7am" before heading to bed. ____________________ Netto hit the button on his clock to turn off the alarm it was 6am and he had to get ready meeting that was going on today. He got up and got dressed and went over to Zam's room and knocked on the door " Zam its time to get up, I'll cook some pancakes today since its a special day" He then walked over to Asuka's room and knocked on the door " hey Asuka get up if your not already up" He walked over to the kitchen to get the batter and milk ready and started mixing the pancake batter to so he could get to cooking to quickly, Zam's apatite knew no bounds. ________________________ Once the pancakes were served and Asuka and Zam were at the table Netto explained what was going on " so today is the day the whole z-force, new members included, will be having a meeting to introduce each other and talk about any future endeavors we are planning. Once ya'll are ready we can head out toward the edge of town, get in my ship, and take off for our headquarters a large space station that orbits earth aptly named the Z-station. Any questions?"

When Netto knocked on the door Asuka’s room was empty. As she already left to begin her morning jog. She normally keeps her small handheld on her person and would occasionally set it to play random songs from the “sound test menu.” In her current obsession Ninja Legacy, a tale of a young ninja on a quest to track down an ancient scroll, this resonated with Asuka as she felt his journey into the unknown was similar to her own in a way. Either way, she hit the sound test button and clicked on the first song that she could find. “Aww yeah! this oughta get me pumped up for a few laps.” As the music blared from within the pockets of the training uniform she was wearing. Asuka began running at a light jogging pace but for her, this was more of a full-on sprint, As she’d race around the block as quickly as her legs would allow her, she would gradually increase the amount of Ki she was outputting to her feet with each lap in order to practice ki control as in an effort to push her body's endurance to it's very limit which would come in handy when performing her Testudo style martial arts, especially in regards to it's most powerful technique which remains a mystery to all save for only the purest of practitioners and while Asuka had the know how to use it she was nowhere close to what one might call a master only ever able to use the technique for a limited amount of time, however, to even be able to perform such a technique without crippling yourself at her age was relatively impressive, however Asuka wanted more she wanted to be the best and it was this pursuit of perfection that gave her all the more reason to continue her training, but she needed to be reasonable as this was only a light workout. And as Asuka continued her work out routine, she would occasionally stop to perform some calisthenics, push-ups, jumping jacks and the like after every 30 laps and take a break for 2 minutes in order to not tire herself out, this went on for about an hour and a half. As she finished up her second to last lap she could see the sun coming up on the horizon of the top of the streets which she’d stop to admire for a moment before doing one last lap and then heading back home.
“Phew, that was a good one! I can really feel my muscles burning! I haven’t had a good run like that in a while! Imagine how much stronger I’ll be if I do this type of intense regimen every day! The possibilities…!” As she thought up all the different things she could do as a fire burned brightly in her eyes, just imagining the type of warrior she’d become by the end of it all made her giddy. “Ya hear that world! I’ll become the strongest Earthling ever, and I'll do it using Tetsudo Martial arts, yeah!” but as she approaches her home the youth begins to smell something. “Hey, is that bacon I smell…awesome…” She enters inside to see Netto setting a table for everyone, she then immediately drops her bags and begins to rush to his side as she watches him work “Let me help you with that, Netto sensei.” She says as she heads over and takes a plate from him in order to aid him in setting up the table for breakfast.
After the food is neatly placed, she sits in and listens to Netto once Zam arrives, politely eating her protein packed pancakes while her sensei discuss the events of the day.
“The Z-station? I believe you mentioned it before.” She says eating her food. After a moment however she gasps.. “Waitff!? So douff thiff meanf I’llf get to goff into space!?” she exclaims with a mouth full of food, which she then swallows. "I'll go get my gi!" says with a great deal of enthusiasm.
After returning once time passes, Asuka scoots over to Netto “I hope my bad table manners earlier weren't to rude of me my apologies for my over enthusiastic outburst I should've been more reserved, Sensei Gomen’nasai.” She apologetically says as she bows to him. “So we’re headed to the space station, Is there anything I might need to know? I'd rather not go into this...uninformed. Also once we're ready to take off will there be anything I can do to help?” She looks to the ship studying its external design she’d never seen anything like it. She’d barely been behind the wheel of a car and now she’s about to step inside of a ship to head off to a space station which is quite the change from her previous living situation of a few days ago. Asuka was not scared of change but did always approach uncertain situations with a degree of anxiety she was excited but also did not really know what to expect and so she figured that getting some advice from Netto might ease her concerns.

Clouds made of ice cream stretched as far as eye could see. Down below the ground was an endless field of brownies. The sea was fresh apple juice. A rainbow of candy trailed across the sky. Something knocked... Distant words echoed from somewhere beyond reality, but they were way too far to matter. However, one word was powerful enough to pierce through the dream fluff. The golden eyes immediately flashed open. "Pancakes?! Yaaaay!" The pink powerhouse bounced up from beneath the covers, fully energized and ready for the most important meal of the day. Oh and the rest of the day too, sure.
The door flew open and the excited missile zipped out. She twirled around in mid flight and her white jammies warped into her usual Majin outfit. No longer affected by Netto’s soul shaping, her elastic soul had reverted back to the original state, as had her body. Most the life lessons imbued had faded as well, leaving behind just a curious little girl... While the white-haired chef prepared the mountain of pancakes, the girl hovered right behind him, peeking over his shoulder. It was a mesmerizing sight to see one’s favorite food being made. And when they were finally ready, the plate barely had time to touch the table when she was already digging in ravenously.
While the grown ups talked, the little Majin said nothing. She was simply happy unleashing her Pancake Genocide Attack. Scraps of pancake and droplets of syrup scattered around her. None of the poor breakfast survived. Good thing Netto had made plenty. Though it was a mystery where all that food went... On the question of, well, any questions, Zam quickly shook her head. "Nmfm! Fm fmmfm. Hfmfm mf mhfmfmnh!" She insightfully noted. ...With her mouth full of pancake. At any rate, she was ready to leave whenever. Wherever her new friends went, she would eagerly follow.

Will was still asleep after training all day yesterday and finally managed to use the Mafuba for the first time in a while. For a while he has been unable to use the Mafuba since he had that sparring session with Netto. Perhaps all of the action Will had lately put a lot of stress on him and made a bit unfocused. He did just recently save Satan City from asteroids and Central City from some kind of strange horrifying being that created an army of undead abominations. That strange monster's appearance in this world also messed with Will's psychic powers and his ability to speak with the dead so he was unable to use Vengeful Flames for a while. Thankfully he has both back and also seemed to learn a couple new skills as well. His alarm clock kept ringing to try to get the sleeping cat man up, but he is just too comfy and enjoying the best rest time he had for a while. His spirit companion, Dragon Soul, appears looking at his bonded "master's" laziness. He puts his hand up against Will's face and all it took was a really strong finger flick to shake Will awake and cause him to fall over off the bad on his head. Ironic cause you would think him of all people would always land on his feet. He got up and rubbed his head in a white shirt and pajama pants. "Ugh you didn't have to hit me that hard to wake me up. You could've just pushed me off or something." Will replied. "I mean yeah I could've like threw cold water on your or something but that was more fun." Dragon Soul said. Will gave Dragon Soul a pout as he got up and scratched his backside as he walked to the kitchen of his Capsule House to make himself some breakfast. He made himself a protein shake, a fish omelet, and some rice along with some fruit. He ate quickly because he was worried he would be late cause he needs to call for a ride to take him to the Z Force Station cause he doesn't have a spaceship himself or a license to drive one. It's gonna be the first time he met Netto in a while and also the first time he would met the rest of the Z Force. As Will finishes his breakfast he goes and dresses up into his martial arts uniform. He walks outside his Capsule House as he makes a call for his ride to come here to take him to the Z Force Station using the coordinates Netto gave him online.

The assassin exhaled hard through his nostrils.
"So it wasn't enough for you to have to fly through it to get somewhere." He paced angrily on the grass, back and forth, back and forth. A wind rushed across the small field, rustling reeds by the creek flowing gently across it about fifty paces down. Leaves swirled earthward from the trees fringing the green, some landing with slight ripples in the water and swiftly being carried away.
"You had to build the goddamn place in it!" He turned then, to the apologetic, and fairly exasperated, pilot.
"Yes, sir. Secrecy takes precedent, after all." She tried to keep her incredulity in check. How could this man be so averse to space travel? It was an age where one would be quite hard-pressed to find someone who hadn't used it at some point or another, and he didn't look that old, either.
"Please, just come with me. It's just in orbit, the trip can't be longer than ten minutes anyway."
Ishmael shook his head, then reluctantly made his way onto the compact ship, taking his seat in the back. It was the pilot's turn to sigh now, in relief as she strapped herself into the cockpit. The familiar subliminal hum that accompanied the starting of the engine appeared, the anti-grav field pulsed. The ship lifted from the ground, and the thrusters flared safely into the newly formed space. The windshield turned from blue to white, then the last whispy tendrils of the cloud were left behind as the world faded to black.

Netto made sure both Asuka and Zam were strapped into the ship so they wont be hurt during take off, " alright the flight shouldn't take any longer then 10 minutes." The ship whirled to life as it started to hover above the ground, he heard Asuka as him about the z-station " once we are out to earth's orbit it will be a lot easier to drive so I'll have the ability to talk without hindrance." Netto hit the gas and started flying straight up toward the clouds as the sky started turning more and more black. Once they got out to orbit the ship balanced out and began to go into auto pilot, you could see the z-station out in the distance. It was a large disk like satellite with two towers jetting out from the top and bottom. " there it is, the z-station has multiple things going for it, a Medical Bay, state of the art virtual reality training rooms, gyms, a huge communication hub, and plenty of dorm rooms if you want to stay up here for whatever reason. The communication hub can communicate to anywhere on the planet and of course a large cafeteria full of food, and Zam you can eat all you want once the meeting is done. So just stay close to me and once the meeting is over your free to explore. Oh and we'll give you both maps of the station once we get in." Netto had landed the ship in one of the docking bays, once the room is re-oxygenated the door to the ship opens. Netto walks out and opens the door to the main hallway, he then reaches into a nearby personal electronic pad holder near the door. He handed one to both Asuka and Zam " this is an electronic pad that when you turn it on it shows the map and your current location in the station so you don't get lost." Netto then led them to the nearby meeting room, it was a large room with table in the center surrounded by chairs. Netto sat down at one end of the table and offered the seats next to him to Asuka and Zam. " Now we just have to wait for the others." WC:375 Total:665 Hanzo Medjikara Majin Zam Will O. Wisp Ishmael

As Asuka enters the ship with Zam, she seems a bit taken aback by all of the technology on board. “Whoa…” after getting acquainted with her environment she looks about and suddenly feels the ship take off as Netto begins speaking. She turns her head watching out the window as the ship begins to take flight. Within moments as the thrusters give the ship a bit of a boost Asuka can feel a whirling feeling inside of her gut as the ship begins to take off at rather hearty speed, once her body becomes accustomed to the change she then looks out at the sky and with barely anytime to notice the colors of the blue sky transition into a dark blue gradient, allowing her a view of the Earth like nothing she’s ever seen before. “Whoa…” she says as the reflection of the Earth bounces off of the glass of the ship and into her eyes. As she listens in to Netto speak of the station she turns her attention to him. But instead of listening, she sees the massive station looming on in the background.
She’s was too speechless to say anything but after a second snapped out of it and then looked to Netto yet again. “Oh, my apologies Netto Sensei…did you say something…oh right, a map of the ship sure. Wait a VR training room! Can I see! I wanna do that whole Zero gravity training thing I hear a lot about!” she then calms herself down. “When it’s appropriate of course…” she says making her obvious clarification. After a moment they pull into the dock and enter inside through a hatch where she’s handed a small tablet. “So the map is on here huh.” Asuka activates the tablet with the push of a button allowing her to see a marker indicating where she was along with the layout of the ship she then finds the VR training rooms location upon it and marks it as a waypoint on the map for later before storing it inside of the duffle bag she brought with her. As she walks along with Netto through the interior of the ship she can’t help but be impressed as to how accurate it was to the things she had seen on television or in movies as a child the glossy finish on the walls and hallways the polish on the floors the pristine view of the earth, it was very much a cutting-edge ship. it was a lot to take it but being here with trusted faces made it slightly more bearable.
As they arrived at their destination, Asuka took note of each individual chair and quickly picked out the seat in the center of the room, from here she’ll be able to hear everyone equally. “I guess we’re the first one’s here.” She said as her eyes panned the room and she placed her arms onto the desk, in her haste to find a seat Asuka hadn’t noticed that each one of the chairs had a plaque in front of them with the seat at the head of the table having a golden plaque reserved for the leader which read “Marku.” But he couldn’t have possibly been the only member, surely there were others, but why didn’t they have plaques with their names on them? After a moment Asuka began to question a few things. “Is that Marku guy the only other member? Are there other new members to the team besides me? And where’s…wait?” upon coming to this odd conclusion Asuka lifts her hand only to reveal the name “Netto White.” underneath, Asuka embarrassed stands to her feet immediately and pulls the chair out and offers it up to Netto, bowing her head sheepishly “My apologies Netto sensei let me get that for you, I can just find another seat.” She says her face awash with a red blush of embarrassment.
After politely returning her seat to her master. Asuka took a seat in one of the open chairs setting down her duffle bag beside her and sliding it beneath the table as she waited for everyone to arrive, she was eager to meet them and could only imagine what sorts of strong warriors she’d have the opportunity to get to know, this was truly an exciting time for the young Martial Artist. “So Netto sensei is there anything you can tell me about the other members?"

Barely had the ship taken off when the Majin’s voice chimed impatiently. "Are we there yet?" Regardless of the obvious answer, even if she received none, the question was soon repeated. Bit more insistently this time. "Are we there yet?" The next one came with a singsong tone. Still the same question though. "Are~ we~ there~ yet~?" For a child, ten minutes could feel like an eternity. Especially when she was supposed to be sitting still. It wasn’t until Netto confirmed that the station was in sight that she threw her arms up in celebration. "...Yaaay!" Most of the explanation went in one ear and out the other, but one detail gripped her attention. Cafeteria... full of... food! All she could eat! Oh she was going to be holding onto that promise...
For real.
Seeing the space station left Zam awestruck. So clean and shiny! Outside of morning cartoons, she had never seen anything like it. The offered pad was taken with puzzled curiosity. Her eyes glimmered as they studied the strange device. Despite her poking and tapping, it refused to react at all. Not even a blink of light on the black screen. Perhaps it was the ancient mismatch between magic and technology preventing her from operating it... Or maybe she was just that bad with tech. Well, didn’t really matter. She didn’t know how to read a map anyway. And she didn’t have any pockets either. After some careful consideration... She ate the device whole. Just stuffed it down and made it disappear. That was her brilliant solution to the pocket problem. The bubblegum body worked in mysterious ways.
While the more mature members took their seats, the childish creature was done sitting still. Ignoring the chairs completely, she floated around and above the table. Round and round. Sometimes upside down. Waiting was just the worst... To pass time, she was idly humming tunes from her favorite shows, like Wyvern Orb X. She was eager to meet new friends. Her golden gaze shifted between Netto and Asuka. Hopefully the people who arrived would be nice like them. And not mean and grumpy... Words: 359 [Total = 676] Netto White Hanzo Medjikara Will O.

As it took a while for his ride to take him to the Z Station to get here. He took the moment to meditate while he was waiting and did so while balancing on his staff using only on one of his toes. His ear twitched as heard the engines whirring of a nearby spaceship coming his way. He opens his eyes and looks to the direction and there it is. His UberDrive to take him to the Z Station. The most convenient inter-stellar taxi and food delivery service in the cosmos. Will flipped off of his staff and caught it in midair which would impress someone if they say it but Will took a lot of time to be able to do that perfectly so it's a reflex to do that at this point. The vehicle floated to near Will's Capsule House and opened up his doors. And a robotic voice came out of the car. "Thank you, Will O. Wisp, for choosing UberDrive as your taxi cab to take you to your destination, Z Station, at the coordinates you specified. Please come in and I shall take your to your destination in, 10 minutes." the voice said. Will was a bit puzzled at first and thought that a robot was driving the car. He just took that as robots also needing money and jobs too and he just goes inside the back. But then he notices something odd, there is no driver at the front seat, in fact there doesn't even seems to be a steering wheel, all he can sees is a monitor with what it looks like a digital screen with a simple smile face like one of those weird emoticon things that you see online. "Is something wrong sir?" the face on the screen said. "Um...are you the driver?" Will asked. "Oh my apologies, you must have not have read our email or read online about our new AI Driven Automated Cabs. Or ADAC's as we call them for short. Due to the vastness of the universe and the population that lives in it there are not enough people willing to be spaceship pilots for UberDrive to offer their services and thus with the large customer base we have created ADAC's to fill in for the employee gap. I hope that doesn't bother you." the AI said. "Not at all." Will lied. "Okay then buckled up as we are about to take off now." the car said. Will buckles up and the car takes off to it's destination. In truth Will found this very awkward. He usually likes the company of talking to a person while driving. Can they carry a normal conversation at all? But that would mean he would be basically be talking to a car. Well a car that allows someone to travel through space but it is basically talking to one in Will's eyes. And can this spaceship really drive itself to it's destination correctly by itself without running into anything or something? What if asteroids get in the way or something would it veer away in time to dodge it by itself or would it not be able to compute that? As Will continued pondering this a ping noise played as the AI says "We have reached your destination, do you want me to park here for an additional fee so I can take you back to your house when you are done?" "Uh no thanks." Will replies. "Understood." the spaceship says as it drives away. Well that was an experience he just had. The technology they have nowadays both amazes and freaks Will out. He sometimes misses the days when things were more simpler. He shouldn't continue dwelling on that as he has a meeting to go to...in this giant floating building in space. Great, now he can't get that off of his mind either. Word Count: 648 Total Word Count: 1,092 Majin ZamIshmaelNetto WhiteHanzo Medjikara

It was huge.
Ishmael couldn't help staring at the station as the shuttle banked towards it. A monolithic amalgamation of steel simply floated in the void, unfathomable leagues above the ground. Vast metal projections, spires, telecommunication arrays, and sensors, bristled from its every crevice. Alien rows of solar panels shielded its sides. Lightly pulsing red lights stood fearlessly at the apex of many of the outstretched lines, blaring their rythm to the unending dark.
Even the pilot fell silent as they drew near. No matter how many times she approached it, she always felt a measure of awe at the huge station.
Ishmael suddenly twisted in his seat, glancing out the rear windows, and his eyes widened at the sight of the world spread out before them, a vast orb of greenish-brown land and deep blue water. This was the earth he'd fought and conquered and lost and suffered on for a thousand years, laid out before him as though on a board. This was it.
He had trouble deciding whether to look at the earth behind him or the station in front of him, so the assassin ended up compromising, switching his gaze to gulp hungrily at the sight on the other side every few seconds.
A hiss and a chunk of landing gear sliding into its complement.
"We're docked," the pilot announced, unbuckling her seatbelt and stretching as the ship was slowly pulled into a recess of the station by a mechanical arm. The door suddenly slid open into the airlock, which also opened to reveal the interior.
"Welcome to your new home. A droid will show you to your room, and you'll meet the other members in a few hours." With that, she briskly turned and headed down the hallway, leaving Ishmael to quietly ponder his surroundings.

Netto heard the doors open as the different members of the z-force began to enter the room one at a time take their seats. "Alright glad to have you all here. Looks like very one but Marku is here and he wont be able to make so ill start introductions and we can move on to each members, order shall be from this side of the table and all the way down to the other end" Netto cleared his throat and stood up "I'll start the introductions. My name is Netto White I'm the back up leader for when Marku isn't around, if you need anything just hit me up on my communicator. As for my back story that's a bit of a long one, so I'll give you the shorter version."
"A few years ago I discovered I have the ability to remember my past lives and control soul energy, I was called a soul shaman. But a spirit attempted to possess me and damaged my soul causing a multitude of problems, in a quick and stupid attempt at fixing it I performed a ritual that corrupted me making me half demon. But recently I fixed that and I'm not longer half demon, but I'm also no longer human. I was able to find a living shadow dragon and made a deal with him for a wish, I would free him and return him to Other World in exchange for removing the demon half, he did as I wish by turning me into a shadow dragon." Netto then lifted his hand and crimson sparks zapped between each finger.
"I am now a shadow dragon of lighting and thunder, also Will tell your dragon spirit he never has to worry about me exorcising him, as I no longer have that power. I can still see spirits but I cant really stop them anymore. Also I know the name "Shadow Dragon" makes me sound like I'm evil. Truth is that shadow dragon is a broad term for any shenron that's not attached to any dragon balls or were created by a dragon ball. Like Will's dragon spirit is technically a shadow dragon. I mean no ill will or insult by that, its technically a classification. And a shadow dragons darkness is actually determined by how selfless a wish is. The more selfish a wish that's creates the dragon the kinder and more good they are. Kinda like a ying yang property, more evil a wish, the more good the dragon and vice versa. Since my wish was selfish when I became a shadow dragon I'm more of a good shadow dragon." Netto took back his seat when he finished talking, he then pointed his hand at Asuka gesturing for her to go next.

Asuka sat patiently but seemed amused as Majin Zam floated above the table acting in her usual childish manner. “Zam, it’s okay to be energetic but when everyone gets here you need to take your seat okay?” after a moment others began entering the room, she examined each new person enter the room making a few impression based off of everyone’s appearance making sure to not to appear to obvious. She first saw Will O. Wisp a small cat-like creature who she was barely able to see when he came into the room due to his short stature but upon seeing him take his seat was able to make a fair assessment of him. “Hmm…some sort of cat man…he seems interesting, and strangely adorable…I wonder if he likes milk!” After a moment she overhears footsteps and when the source of those footsteps enters the room, Ishmael the first thing that draws her attention is the hood on the warrior which gives her an off-putting vibe from him. “He seems kinda suspiscious…Hmm…I wonder what his game is. Is he some kind of contract killer?” as she looks again to him noticing his seemingly old-world attire she contemplates a few other things. “Those clothes seems kind of archaic, I wonder if he’s a time traveler…a time-traveling assassin…sounds like a video game I played hmm... Either way, if Netto invited him here then perhaps he’s not so bad but something about him just rubs me the wrong way…” As they all take their seats, Asuka sees her master stand up and begin his introduction, she listens intently but pauses upon hearing the shadow dragon statement. “Shadow Dragon? I think I’ve read about those…but Netto sensei is one…huh.” As he finishes her statement her master then gestures to her. Seeing point to her Asuka stood up and bowed to everyone in the room. “Hello all, I am Atsuki Asuka! I am the disciple to Netto White and I am delighted to be here!” She shines a smile to everyone but then pauses to think. “Now, where should I start., I was born in Cup City where my mother died moments after I was born, I never knew my father and at a young age took up Martial Arts after being inspired by a certain martial artist.” She giggles to herself. “I wasn’t very good when I started but I managed to persevere and make it to the rank of master by the virtue of my own hard work.” She balls her fist taking great pride in her martial arts origins. “I can’t fly, and I’m not the most agile of fighters at times I can sometimes be a tad absent-minded but what I can do is take a beating.” She pauses for a moment…but then after realizing the blunder of her statement, she does her best to correct herself. “Uhh, that came out wrong, what I meant to say was uhh…I have a lot of endurance.” She takes a second to gather her thoughts hoping that no one was staring at her while she awkwardly tried to piece together her words, she then takes a deep breath. “In essence, my martial art relies on being in peak physical condition and using a special form of Ki control that allows me to amplify my bodies natural abilities allowing me to perform amazing feats much like the things that a lot of you can do, high-speed movement, temporary flight, and gaining incredible strength and durability. However, pushing my body too such limits has it’s drawbacks it comes at the cost of my stamina and can leave me in a severe state of fatigue if used for a prolonged period of time. I aim to master it and use the secrets of my martial art in order to best my rival.” Her expression became slightly more serious she then smiled. “And well…I’m not even close to there yet but someday I hope to be and hopefully you all can join me on this journey and we can improve together, but I won’t pull any punches!” She says as she smashes her fist into her palm. “And well my other goal is well…I’m not sure…maybe once I’m strong enough, I’ll join the military, there’s a lot of baddies out there someone’s gotta stop em. Why not me! I’m not really sure what else I’d do anyway. Heh.” After finishing her introduction Asuka pans around the room and thinks to herself. “Did I leave out anything? Oh right!” she thinks to herself. “Uhh, some other little fun facts about me I guess I uhh…have a dog named Shin’yu and umm…I’m a big fan of video games, I’ve got a whole handheld collection of fighting games I like to play in my free time, and I really like to exercise, But umm…yeah, that’s me. It’s a pleasure to meet you all.” She bows and takes her seat. (853 words.) (WC Total: 2,479)

Still drifting near the ceiling, the bored Majin glanced down as Asuka called out to her. "Oookayyy..." Despite the lazily stretched response, she wasn’t going to argue with the big sister. Sure, she could sit down when everyone was here... Buuut everyone was not here yet, so she didn’t have to sit down right now.
However, when the first arrival walked through the door, the golden gaze immediately widened. Odd tension sparked in the air. Everyone in the room had overlooked one crucial detail... Zam really liked Earthlings. Especially animals. "Hello kitty!" Following the jubilant squeal, the excited girl shot towards the cat man like a cannonball made of rubber. If he didn’t think fast, he would find himself tackled to the ground and cuddled relentlessly. Though she was soft and bouncy, Majin strength was no joke. At this rate she was going to hug the everloving fluff out of him. And she wouldn’t give up without protesting and pouting...
Well, after that distraction had been dealt with...
Finally people were seated and ready for the meeting. Even the mischievous creature had plopped down. She listened closely as Mister Netto started the introductions. A lot of it went waaay over her head. By the end of it the simple-minded child’s eyes had turned into golden swirls. She swayed in place, barely staying upright. All the difficult words and things were making her head spin. For starters, she was pretty sure dragons were supposed to have, like, horns and wings and stuff... She squinted, but still couldn’t see any of that on the man. Hm.
Next up was Miss Asuka. She also had a story to share. And there was that weird title again... Martial artist. Despite numerous explanations she had heard from different people, she still didn’t really... get it. Grandpa said that artists made paintings or statues or music, but... What did martial artists make? And why was training so important to her? Hm hm, she would have to ask again sometime. Though usually that just ended with her playing with Asuka’s doggy and forgetting the questions completely.
Then there was a sudden pause, an odd silence were the girl noticed gazes turning towards her. She looked around with a puzzled blink. ...Oh, was it her turn now? Okay! She raised a hand and smiled brightly. "Zam is a Majin, is what Zam is! Nice to meetcha!" ...And that was all. Short and sweet, just like the Majin herself.

While Will walked he was caught by surprise by the cuddle onslaught of a strange pink girl. He tried to resist at first but thanks to his well trained body he was able to withstand the girl's strength. Will began to meow and purr as he received many rubs and scratches. After she was done and stopped and went back to her seat Will composed himself and pretend nothing happening. If his fur wasn't in the way his face would be red from them witnessing that display. He floated up to his seat and listened to what they each have to say. First Netto's story. While Will knows the part about his past lives in his body he had no idea he had been made half demon. The revelation of him becoming a Shadow Dragon now and this group known as Shadow Dragons interest Will. Especially since it seems Dragon Soul is also one of them. "Dragon Soul, why did you never tell me about this?" Will asked his spirit companion telepathically. "You never asked." Dragon Soul bluntly put. Which causes Will to sigh. The one known as Asuka has a more grounded story. Although Will doesn't like how she nonchalantly puts that her mom died after she was born, he can at least admire how she still exhibits a radiant and optimistic outlook. And he is happy to see that Netto White has already accepted a student and became a master. He hopes to find one too one day. He also is interested in the martial artist style she talks about she made. Although she doesn't seem to have a goal as of yet to help her move forward. Zam introduces short and sweet. Will has heard of Majin's before and almost fought one in a tournament. It's interesting to see one and a female at that. Anyway now it seemed to be Will's turns for introductions. He usually never tells people the beginning but since Netto told his Will should say his. "Well truth is I am a lot older then I am look, I am over 400 years old. Now I am not immortal or anything rather I was brought back to life as a witch's servant. However the witch died and I regained my free will and found a new purpose and regain as much as my memory as I can. I was a member of the Turtle School under Master Roshi himself. And I am the only one left of said school as far as I know. I want to rebuild the school as it's master, but first there are still a few things I need to do before then so I can deserve to be called a master and for me to call myself one. I have a lot of magical abilities and some psychic powers along with recently developing the ability to see visions of the future. I have relearned how to use the Kamehameha from the memories of how Master Roshi used it. And I also learned the Mafuba. I am glad to be here meeting you all." Will said. He then gave a polite bow to all of the people at the table. Word Count: 532 Total Word Count: 1,624 Majin Zam Ishmael Netto White Hanzo Medjikara

Post by Ishmael on Oct 9, 2018 20:26:12 GMT -5
Ishmael was gazing pensively out the porthole in his small room at the stars when the droid came for him.
"Hello! I am Ivan, your personal hospitality droid." The assassin nearly jumped out of his skin as the synthetic voice echoed two inches away from his foot, punting the tiny orb across the room.
It hit the olive green paneling hard enough to dent the wall, but came up completely unscathed and bobbed its way back towards him as if it had just entered the room.
"Now, that's not very nice! Why don't we try this again?" The thing's voice was completely devoid of sincerity, and putting him more than a little on edge. It was a strange silver sphere, floating just a bit off of the carpet weave and bouncing as it moved in a demented manner that was probably meant to be endearing.
"Erm... okay then." The tiny droid emitted a bright chirping sound, sections of its surface lighting up bright green as it roll out the door.
The assassin followed Ivan for quite a while, through what felt like an eternity of monotone gray hallways that he hadn't the slightest hope of finding his way back through. Perhaps it was a good thing he had a guide along, strange though it was.
Finally, they came to a stop outside of a set of wooden double doors, flanked on either side by a set of floor-to-ceiling windows, tinted so that it was impossible to see inside. Ishmael glanced to the droid for confirmation, receiving a nod of sorts and a sunny confirmation that this was their destination. The assassin straightened his belt, tightened his sword in its scabbard as a sign of respect, and strode inside.
The room was awe-inspiring.
The first thing one noticed was a blast of warm air that was a pleasant contrast from the chilled halls. A sensation of space dazzled him after the claustrophobia of the rest of the station, a huge area spread out before him. A ring-shaped table of authentic oak dominated the center, with exactly five sturdy seats spaced evenly around it, each facing a doorway identical to the one he'd entered through. Bright green grass grew in pieces shaped like slices of a circle between the doors, neatly framing the cobblestone walks to the table. He noticed absently that the word ISHMAEL had been carved in the back of his seat.
Above them, a mammoth plasti-glass dome separated them from the void, arching high into the blackness and devoid of any visible metal supports. As he watched, a small satellite flew past the vista, a dish slowly turning to face some unseen antenna. It was a feat of engineering and architecture, seamlessly incorporated into the station.
Then he turned his gaze back down to the other people in the room. Strangely enough, there was a diminutive, bright pink child tussling with a talking cat in the corner. If he hadn't recently spent a week in Space Vegas, he'd have been trying to exorcise them.
The other two people hit a bit closer to home, being humans clad in semi-ordinary apparel. One was a blond-haired young man, the other was a woman with black hair. He silently took his place at the table, pulling in with a only a soft scuffing noise.
A good deal of what the others had said flew over his head- arcane features of this new age like shadow dragons, Majins, and video games. Still, Ishmael made sure to maintain his facade of quiet aloofness through it all. He could at least understand the cat and the man. Witches, shamans, and soul energy were all things he was familiar with, and he could understand a goodly bit of what they had said.
Finally, it appeared to be his turn. The assassin straightened a bit in his chair, surveying his newfound team members.
"My name is Ishmael." The opening line was a bit more blunt than he'd intended, but he soldiered on.
"There appear to be quite a few people with more than one lifetimes' worth of experience at this table." He exhaled, leaning back a bit.
"I'm no mathematician, and it's hazy to say the least, but the closest I can figure, I've been alive for around a thousand years." He paused a moment to let that sink in, then continued, "In my early years I headed a guild of assassins and mercenaries, and fought in quite a few wars. The good times ended after a battle against an army of mages, but thanks to a miscast spell I live on, thirty years old forever.
"I'm mainly joining this organization because I'm rather attached to this world, and the idea of anything threatening it as a whole angers me." His tone remained the same, but a slight tightening of the muscles in Ishmael's arm as he said it was noticeable.
A section of air above the table parched then, the water being drawn from it and coalescing into a perfectly smooth orb between two of the assassin's fingers. Brilliant yellow lightning sparked through it, racing back and forth wildly, and subsided just as quickly.
"I'm also a fairly capable practitioner of stormwind magic- wind, water, ice, and lightning."

Netto sat patiently as everyone told their stories and was surprised by both Will and Ishmeal having lived far longer then most others. He laughed a little "man we got one heck of a ragtag team. I remember back when I first joined the z-force it was originally a team only for earthlings, but as the earth has become a mixed pot of different races it only makes sense that its defenders become equally mixed. We have a majian, a shadow dragon, and 4 earthlings each with their own unique quirks, a cat, an immortal, and two normal earthlings of different ages. Marku the older one and now Asuka as our new young blood." Netto then stood up and activated the center glass screen on the table, the screen turned on showing the z-forces logo. "Alright now that we are finished with our introduction, lets talk shop. If anyone has any criminals you have faced or ran into and were unable to stop them now would be a good time to talk about them. We are a crime stopping organization after all. OH! I almost forgot you'll be given new communicators that I worked with our tech guys to upgrade after this meeting, it has two parts one that attaches to your ear and the other is a small phone. The ear piece has a small camera attached to it, if you get in a fight with a criminal you can push a button on it take a picture of them, if they get away from you, you can then have the picture and any info you have on them sent to our database and anyone of us can see it at any time. The small phone works like any normal phone and can access our database at anytime."
Netto pulled out a small keyboard "I also have two criminals to keep a look out for, we have Lute, a Namekian who is one of the last members of the Demon clan, he wears a simple black pants with a red what looks like cape wrapped around his waist. I don't know his end game but he's been traveling to different planets attacking people all in his attempt of, strengthening people" Netto said that last part doing air quotes with his fingers "he is obsessed with trying to punish the gods for letting mortals be so weak and uses fear and pain to force people to seek growing stronger and if they refuse, he kills them.
"Then there is Kuueru, Demon, she walks around disguised as a young earthling with long pinkish hair and was last seen wearing an orange shirt, pants, and jacket. Her demon form she has the same haircut but it becomes white as well as her skin and the armor she gains when she transforms become pure white, she also gets large horns and wings. I don't know what her relation to Lute is, either she's his master or the other way around, or for all I know their lovers. All I know is she was worried about getting in a fight with me and talked about Lute was going to be angry with her for fighting."
Netto then looked up at the room "anyone else have someone to put on the watch list?"

As Asuka listened to her Master's words she took into account what she had overheard about the villains he had mentioned. "A Namekian and a shape-shifting demon...interesting." she thinks to herself having an image in her head of a monstrous Namekian that crushed everything in his sight as well as a small pink haired girl that transforms into a white-skinned demon both of them setting a city ablaze, it sent a slight chill down her spine. "I'd better not get in their way, They sound like tough customers I'd better do some research myself." As her master fiddles with the machine in front of her and gave instructions on the whereabouts of potential enemies Asuka stopped to contemplate her Sensei's sentiment. “Villains eh…?” she then recalls the nasty witch named Lilith Nevermore and her fiendish attempts to destroy her old village. “Netto Sensei if I may…” Asuka stands up and glides her pointer finger along the surface of the touch screen map, until she stops at a forested region in central plains of Earth, which then after a moment loads up a 3D image of the area. On screen, a small village with a tall red gate protruding from it's center can be seen hidden away in a dense forest surrounded by a massive wall encircling the perimeter of the village acting as a divider between it and the forest. As Asuka begins to speak the image roatates on a horizontal axis giving a full 3D view of the landscape as she begins to speak.
“If everyone can see this, I'd like to talk about something. This is Shura Village it was my home for a short while and also the place where I met Netto sensei...and when I initially first arrived I encountered a witch by the name of Lilith Nevermore. A young witch who wears a black robe and witches hat with long purple hair. I while I managed to fight her off twice, The village was almost completely destroyed in a flood caused by her magic during our second encounter, if you look closely some of its effects can still be seen in the images on screen." Asuka pinches her fingers together manipulating the map by zooming in on the village in order to showcase the water damage that left scar of their battle on the buildings and village roads. With one of the images showing a memorial engraved atop a building to commemorate the lives of those lost in to the flood. "That flood was only a small display of her power and It's my guess that she could've only gotten stronger since then Lilith isn't someone be taken lightly.” Asuka then tae and kes a moment of silence, reflecting of what had happened that day recalling the suffering of the people, their screams and cries for help echoing in her head.
“And while Lilith is a dangerous threat who is also capable of conjuring demons, resurrecting the dead, and casting deadly poisons she isn't the only reason I want to talk to you about Shura village." She then shuts down the projection and solemnly makes eye contact with everyone, before starting up again, doing her best not to get overly emotional "in fact I actually have a favor I would like to ask. You see, for a time I was Shura village’s primary defender and part of why I left with Netto-Sensei was so I could have opportunities to train in ways that I couldn't while living there. But as a result Shura village is defenseless, Maybe it's foolish of me to ask but…” Asuka looks out making eye contact with everyone in the room her voice a little choked up. “The people of that village were like family to me...and I'd be far too ashamed if I just abandoned them like that! I know I can’t save everyone...but..." Asuka then realizes that her emotions are getting the best of her she slowly stops herself from losing her cool. "I figured maybe...with your help we could at least try..." she then shuts her eyes, and bows respectfully. "M-my apologies for letting my emotions get the better of me. Gomen-nasai.”
Internally, Asuka seemed a bit embarrassed by her rather hefty display of emotion in such a public setting, and It wasn't her intention to throw her weight onto her new allies but she couldn't hold back the guilt she felt for abandoning Shura village and her inability to have the power to help people whenever she needed them, her heart was in the right place but the young girl may not have been thinking logically.

While the adults talked, Zam tried her very best to listen. Honestly. Hearing stories from new people was always super interesting! But... In her imagination every difficult word pranced out of their mouths and danced around her head. All the names quickly joined the dizzying carousel. Soon the golden swirls took over her eyes again, spinning and spinning. Wavering streaks of steam slowly rose from her ears as her poor, little head tried to process all the new information. Eventually she flopped face first against the table and groaned weakly. "So... many... names..." She had never been very good with names.
However, when the Majin’s turn came, she suddenly perked up and raised her hand. "Oh, oh, my turn!" One might think that a happy-go-lucky creature wouldn’t harbor grudges, but she definitely had plenty of people she didn’t like. But the most important ones... "Okay, so there is this huuuge gang of big meanies who drive around in black cars and bully people. They use lots of nasty weapons, like clubs and guns and some weird zappy electric things." Grandpa would’ve probably had smarter words for all of it, but she still tried her best to explain. "If they catch you, they lock you up and then call your family and demand money or they won’t let you go." Her smile faded as she lowered her gaze. All of this was spoken from bitter experience.
"There are a lot of them too... I have run into them in every city so far..."
Zam shook the sad thoughts out of her head. She still had more to say, advice to give to her friends. "But! It’s super easy to recognize them! They all wear silly blue costumes and some have a shiny thing on their chest. Oh and their cars have flashing lights too." There was a name that they used for themselves, but it slipped her mind. Still, she found her bright smile. Her fingers coiled and pink energy crackled in her palm. "If you run into them, you gotta make them go boom!" Obviously the best plan. With some help from her new friends, she could make all those blue meanies go boom in no time. Words: 373 [Total = 1467] Netto White Hanzo Medjikara Will O. Wisp Ishmael

The first two people Netto described sounded like pretty bad news. A demon and a powerful Namekian who claimed to be one. Will knows the Namekians are usually a peaceful race but has heard of such Namekians who have fallen from grace so to speak. Such examples date back to 300 years ago with the infamous Demon King Piccolo. To think another one came to claim the name Demon King means trouble and especially if he decides to takeover Earth. And the demon woman also had the ability to take a human form and fit in with society so finding her would be difficult. Then Asuka came to speak about Lilith Nevermore a witch. Just hearing about this witch gives Will bad memories. While it was cause of one he got brought back to life from what Will recalls from hazy visions her motives for doing so weren't in good intentions and she didn't treat him very nicely. Although he can't just go and assume that all witches are like that for all he knows there could be good ones that use their magic for healing or something else or ones that are more neutral and in a gray area. But this one seems to have no care about the lives of others as Will sees the damage done to the village with the flood he created. Of course he was saddened to see that Asuka then shrugged it off saying that she was too emotionally attached. "If I may Asuka it's not a bad thing for you to be attached to your home and wanting to defend it and protect from harm and perhaps rebuilding it. Emotions can be good and bad depending on how we let them define or control us. Many people give in to their hatred and it becomes the only thing that they feel. If there isn't enough time of manpower for us to defend this village we can always tell the military or government about the situation to request they aide that area so it wouldn't be defenseless. Would be a good compromise." Will said. After speaking his mind he then listened to Zam's story. And Will just couldn't have the heart to tell her the truth. He knows what she is talking about and knows what she described doing was really bad and even illegal. But her ignorance and pure innocence like a child he just couldn't bring himself to tell her. He hoped that Netto could have that talk with her at least since they seem to be close. And now with her story finish it was his turn and he had a lot of people to talk about. "Alright where to begin, as for criminals I let get away or ones that I have failed to beat there are only a few I can think of. One was a woman named Shale who was human once but after getting a strange book of unknown origin she became something beyond my understanding. The power and aura she had was similar to what I felt in the crisis at Central City with the strange being that caused the zombie outbreak there. And then there is Sly, a raccoon like animal-type Earthling who is a mercenary that worked for the Galactic Empire. He had people taken hostage in order for someone to come and give him a good fight. However he was much more powerful then me, and managed to beat me up pretty badly." Will said. Will then used his telekinetic powers to get him a glass of water from somewhere and float to him for him to drink out of a bit before continuing telling what he knows. "As for lesser threats there was Razor, a man who terrorized a town called Little Barnab with his gang of hoodlums who rode on various vehicles. His girlfriend came and rescued him and I was unable to pursue them cause I was poisoned by him in his cowardly attempt at beating me. He had a strange martial art style that he called Cornered Rat Style which was apparently made illegal. With it his arms become like powerful sword that cut through and stabbed anything he wanted. But it also had a terrifying ability where all hits he took he could dish back out even greater. That style was made to fight stronger martial artists and must've been a practice made by cowards for cowards." Will said. After pausing to finish the rest of his glass of water there were a few more people he wanted to mention before wrapping his part up. "Speaking of the zombie outbreak there were three people of note that had very evil auras. One of them however was a great help and seemed to have some sort of sympathetic bond to Central City. But yet I never got his name plus I don't feel his prescience anymore so I am unsure if he would ever show up again. But then there were the two Galactic Imperial lieutenants that came to aide Earth. Their names were Horn and Kuupo. They both exhibited powerful demonic energies and magic. One was able to grow to gigantic size and wipe out a lot of the zombie horde easily while another managed to summon a demon to aide them. Now saying that because they are evil then the rest of the Galactic Empire is foolish and I agree. But the fact that Polaris would let such evil beings in and that he would should've known about them from their aura if he was able to sense Ki as well. Something tells me the corruption goes far deeper which is why I have been staying on Earth during the recent events. With this war Earth could get invaded at any moment at any day by either the Galactic Empire or the Saiyan Dominion. And I want to be there at the front lines protecting the planet and it's people. It's bad enough we have threats close to home like the Red Pants, Ruby Ribbon, and Neo Red Ribbon Armies. But to think an whole galactic wide invasion could be coming towards Earth is troubling. Speaking of Neo Red Ribbon I was given a notification to be on the lookout if I ever went to space for a man named Doctor Nikolas Grey. He was a scientist working for the Neo Red Ribbon that went rogue apparently and left the planet and went to space. No one knows where he went or what he is up to. But he has made some pretty messed up things. I am sorry i am afraid I had taken too much time here. Ishmael, you may proceed to tell your part next." Will said. He then sat down waiting for the response of this long lived man. Word Count: 1137 Total Word Count: 2,761 Netto WhiteHanzo MedjikaraMajin ZamIshmael

Netto listened as each person gave a list of people they felt like should be kept an eye out for. He laughed when Zam described the police but he decided to wait till everyone finished speaking, Ishmeal passed on speaking of anyone and sat silently listening. He looked at Zam and put his hand on her head patting it softly "Zam, we talked about this, the people you described are called the police they uphold the law and only do those things to stop people from doing bad things. Though I do understand from your eyes they can seem like bad people, you'll understand one day."
Netto then stood up and said, "thank you all for coming today and being so willing to be open." He pushed a button on the desk and the phones, communicators and even a badge that could be attached to a wallet or shirt, popped out of a small opening at each seat. "Here are the communicators I talked about before and a badge that shows you are members of the z-force. Zam, Asuka, Ishmeal, and Will since you haven't been formally welcomed to the team. I welcome you all to the Z-force."
Netto then pushed his seat out of the way and said "that's all for today, have a great day everyone. Zam follow me I'll take you to the cafeteria before we leave, like I promise. Asuka feel free to follow or explore the ship, I'll call you when we are about to leave."
