A/N:
Me again. This is MB with another story however this is one is an intro to avatar's upcoming tournament. So, um it's going to be a little bit short mainly because it's not a multi-chapter story. And for this one, I'm going to try something different, this time this story will barely have any dialogue which is something I like that do because I do like Non-Dialogue stories a lot. And this is a two-parter actually because this one introduces Argent from Teen Titans (The Animated version to be specific) and the other one features Neji Hyuuga from Naruto. So, that's I have to say and enjoy the intro.
Since the whole battle with the Brotherhood of Evil was now over, the crime rate has been dropping twice as before worldwide, it's not putting heroes out of business just that things have been getting boring lately. Especially for a young girl who had pale skin (Gray-White to be specific), she had unruly hair and was short and black with bangs dyed red. Her clothing included a strapless black dress, with a scarlet shirt, black knee-high stockings, full-length matching gloves, scarlet Mary Janes, and a black ribbon around her throat and her accent was British although it sounded rather jaded and her powers, well she can fire crimson energy beams which she can use to create objects. This was Argent, an honorary member of the Teen Titans.
Anyway, she was bored; there was barely any crime she could take care of. So, to pass the time she went to her local movie theater in her hometown of New Zealand. She ended up seeing Rambo which was still playing. She wasn't that big of a fan of bloody Action films or Horror films but she thought it was pretty good. So, after she watched the movie, she went outside, she overheard people talking how great the movie was but something else caught her attention, she saw a bunch of flyers and papers on a street lamppost, normally those things aren't worth her time, actually they wouldn't be worth anyone's time but something caught her attention. She sees a flyer that is advertising a tournament at the El Centro De El Mundo which translates to Mall of the World, which is the largest mall on Earth.
She had heard about that mall but didn't had time to go there but now she had her chance.
'Why not?' Argent thought as she figured she could use the exercise. That and since the prize involves cash so could do some shopping.
So, she took a three hour trip to California in third class much to her annoyance. But thankfully the plane landed and she left the airport. She then took a Taxi cab and told the driver her destination. It was basically a one-hour drive to the mall but she finally got there in time for the tournament. She paid the driver, and was now on her own. But of course she saw a usual sight on her way to the entrance.
She saw an old man wearing ancient robes and her departed from a dragon and the dragon flew off. She just simply could not believe what she just saw.
'What the hell?' she thought. 'Was that a dragon?'
But she quickly brushed that off as she knew what she was here for. So, she went through the automatic entrance doors and what she saw was just unbelievable, this was just… wow to her and probably everyone else. This mall is really huge as the name is. I mean, besides the usuals like the food court. It had a lot of stores like any Music/DVD store, Anime stores, supermarkets, etc. and it even had what was called the El Grande Theatre which not only plays the current movies that are recently shown, it also shows movies from the past decades, it even had something called Midnight Madness which shows various Horror films on Friday and Saturday at midnight. And it also had a Godiva outlet, I mean there are a lot of things the mall has which is too much to describe.
Anyway, she continued walking until she stopped to see a Gothic Lolita store which also caught her interest as she admired the outfits seen inside the store.
'Maybe I'll do some shopping later on.' She thought as she planned to do some shopping after the tournament.
So anyway, she finally saw a large number of people standing near a large, circular room. The room was about one hundred feet in diameter, with ten-foot-wide balconies on the rim. The balconies formed a giant spiral going up to the massive and awe-inspiring domed ceiling, with multiple large gates leading to the eight wings of the mall on each story.
She then saw a pale young man, he had milk-white eyes, and long black hair. He wore a headband on his forehead which had a leaf, black and cream colored clothing that looked like traditional Japanese clothing and high-topped black colored sandals. This was Neji Hyuuga.
"Yo!" Argent called Neji.
He looked at her as she approached him and now stood next to him.
"What's all this then?" she asked Neji.
But she soon got her answer as she saw two figures stepped into the arena.
Now…..
A/N:
Ok, I decided to leave it at that as everything else is explained in avatar's intro story especially in his forum about the tournament.
I didn't know where the mall would be located at so I chose a random location but if he did say where it would be then I hope I made a good guess.
I decided to use avatar's description of the mall and the area where the tournament is since well I couldn't have described it better myself to be honest but I hope he doesn't mind that I did that.
Anyway, that's Argent's intro. I'll be working on Neji's intro tomorrow so keep an eye out for it at the Anime X-Overs section and I shall you let you guys know I have plans for a X-Men Evolution/Lost Boys crossover. The plotline and the OC vampires are on my profile so let me know what you think of that idea. And if anyone has any con crit, let me know and I hope you enjoyed this story and I'll read your stories soon.
