The Saiya-Jin had always loved fighting tournaments. It combined his two of his main passions; fighting and money. Of course he had long out grown the human tournaments. With a powerlevel between five and two hundred, it was rarely worth even getting up for. The last time he had bet a general for two million zeni he could win the tournament, sitting on both his hands and without moving a finger. He simply sat in the middle of the ring and powered up a bit, blowing every contestant out of the ring.
Of course he had been in trouble when in the finals he suddenly was up against a twelve hundred pound ogre. He had to go super and all out, destroying half the ring in the process. Even then he only won because the ogre slipped on a lose tile and fell on the back of his head, knocking himself unconscious. He had won the bet, but had been forbidden to join that particular tournament ever again.
In fact he had been forbidden to join from most Earthly tournaments. It was fine in a way. On board the Atrioch he had an entire storage room full of trophies, he was ashamed to show anyone because they were from Earth. The real trophies he was proud of were from planets like Sadia or New Vegas.
Recently he had gained a new interest in the Earth though. Ever since Dain and Sly took over the Ravagers, they were on the look out for more recruits and Earth turned out to be quite a treasure trove. Sure their fighters were not optimal, aside from a few real diamonds, but they made excellent captains and leaders. So Dain had used a bit of his own money to setup regular weekly tournaments in South City. It was a good trick to flush out potential recruits. Now he did not participate all of them, but sometimes he got a call from a the organization if a possible interesting candidate came by.
Today was certainly special though. As he was sitting on board his flagship the Atrioch he got not one, not two, not three, but in fact nine times a call that another interesting fighter had joined.
It was enough to get curious and Dain had used the transporter on board the Atrioch to quickly get to the arena. As usual it was already completely packed. Ever since getting the financial injection of Dain, raising the price money to a hundred million zeni, things had gotten really interesting. Funnily enough with tv rights, food and ticket prices and registration money, he was actually making a profit. Who knew!
Of course Dain could have simply walked through and join the tournament as a VIP, but that was not how he operated. For one he preferred not standing in the lime light, for the other he liked fighting too much. So he got in line for the preliminaries. Or actually the phase before that. With as much price money as they were offering, so many people tried to join, they had to use another filter. It was actually a quite easy step. You just had to punch a machine which measure speed, angle and raw power.
“Hi there. My name is Dain.” He said as he took place next to a male guy, extending his hand friendly. From all the people here, Dain had gotten a feeling about him, so he had taken a place next to the man with blond hair. “Can you believe it? One hundred million Zeni. It is enough to get your blood curling.” He continued with a grin, allowing his tail to wriggle a bit in anticipation.
Especially when he suddenly realized that if he won the tournament, it would be a double profit.
