Important Note: Do not feel obligated to reply! I am more than happy to handwave any fights between characters. But if you do want to proceed, feel free to get in touch with me so we can talk things out. I am not completely familiar with all of the characters in the game and their various abilities, so I'd love to hear from you before we jump into things. You can contact me through any of these ways.

Option A. ROUND 1--FIGHT

[Vegeta was waiting.

The Saiyan was hovering above the gardens, about ten feet or so off of the ground, arms crossed over his muscled chest and his expression as stone-faced as ever. The anticipation for battle was beginning to tingle up his spine, but the man remained quiet and calm.

It wouldn't be too much longer.]

Option B. No fighting in the bleachers

[...or benches, more accurately. Bulma was seated on a bench with her hands cupped around a hot drink. Her eyes followed the fighting with keen interest, excitement even, and apparently without concern. She was confident that today's matches would be, if not fair (how could they be when a Saiyan was involved?), at least honorable.

Abruptly, she leaped to her feet and cupped a hand around her mouth to shout,] WOOHOO! GO GET'EM HONEY! KICK HIS FACE IN!!

Option C. Wildcard.

[Go nuts! If you'd like to start threads between other characters or try to brawl with some of the other fighters showing up, go for it!]

[Vegeta, as undignified as it is for a prince, snorts.]

Not the humans I've known. [Except for his wife. And maybe Krillin.] They give up long before they can even hope to adapt. What cowards.

[takeedabanana]

Then you haven't met the right ones. [He shrugs. One incident in particular is really what reminds him of how much people can do when they come together:]

I've seen "mere humans" stop a fallen god from unleashing literal Hell on Earth.

[bigbingoattack]

[Well. Vegeta definitely isn't going to argue with that.]

A fallen god? [The Saiyan's head tilts slightly, a sign of mild interest. He's recently had an experience with a god himself, you see, so color him a little intrigued.]

[takeedabanana]

[He nods. It wasn't a fun experience by any stretch of the imagination, and to be honest he was pretty sure that he wasn't going to forget it anytime soon, either.]

Yeah.

[He's not exactly sure if he should go forward with the details, but he supposed that he did bring it up himself.]

Ended up getting set free and tried to corrupt essentially the life-force of the planet. Nearly got away with it too, if it weren't for a bunch of meddling kids.

[He has a bit of a smirk on his face as he says that last part, but it really was one of the most risky moves they had done. Cassie could've easily gotten herself killed in that fight if it weren't for the fact that her family's "power" decided to pop up at the right moment.]

[bigbingoattack]

[A 'bunch of meddling kids' sounds far too familiar to the man, though the thought of those particular brats has the corner of Vegeta's mouth twitching downwards.

Now was not the time to think of that.]

Is that so. Hm. [Is he convinced that humans shouldn't be taken so lightly? No, but that's just Vegeta's experience and eternal stubbornness.]

[takeedabanana]

[He's honestly not expecting miracles, just a bit of understanding. Takeda's honestly all too familiar with others looking down on humans, it was kind of a thing for most Outworlders that he's met, with very few exceptions. He's just more patient about it than most of his teammates.

And superiors.]

Just a bit of food for thought. Though I can definitely say I probably wouldn't last long in a fight against you - Flying and some energy blasts I can deal with, but that was insane.

[BACK TO THE SUBJECT OF FIGHTING YES AWAY FROM THE HEAVY STUFF FOR NOW oops.]

[bigbingoattack]

[For someone who shit talks humans so often, Vegeta sure has allowed himself to be adopted into their homes and hearts. He's clearly just a big softie on the inside.]

No, of course not. The Super Saiyans of legend were an invincible race. As their son, it is not surprising my power would far outstrip your own.

...Still, I've seen humans manage to reach some potential. There's some hope for you.

[takeedabanana]

[Saiyans. that was definitely not a race he had heard before - he files that one away for the time being.]

Thanks for the vote of confidence. [Takeda manages a bit of a smirk, stretching a little.] It's not like I've reached my limits yet. I'm still young.

[And he's still learning in a lot of aspects, especially where his telepathic ability was concerned thanks to Kenshi. Though here ... he hadn't been working with it as much as he probably should. His fault for getting complacent, he supposed.]

[bigbingoattack]

There is nothing more important than to keep up with your training, especially in your youth. Only fools allow themselves to believe they've reach the full potential of their power.

[Keep training, kid, and one day you may even be able to give ol' Vegeta here a run for his money.]
