Lord Yemma pointed to the android. "You have been assigned to go to Hell."

16 swallowed hard, but changed his facial expression into a smile. Hell was hell. There was no changing that, but he was prepared for it. Somehow, before he had died and before he had gotten into the fight, there was a feeling deep in him that told him he would be destined to go there and now it was official.

Hell can't be that bad. I could get some serious training done, and maybe kick some demon ass.

He closed his eyes, leaned back, and breathed in. He reopened his eyes, and exhaled. In an instant, he felt a rush of sweltering hot air shroud him. The ground beneath was dry and a dark shade of red. The land jutted out in some areas and off in the distance were large mountains, overlooking the ground below. Weak demons and ogres scurried around, jumping up and down, and just playing around in general.

Suddenly, from behind, something struck his back. The humanoid spun around, and looked face to face with him. He was a human of medium build and a light tan. His light black hair waved as a gentle wind blew by. 16's scouter flashed a number. He had moderate power, with a ki level just under 800,000, but he could easily battle him if needed.

"Oh, sorry. I was just playing around with some ogres and I didn't see you." He clarified. "By the way, I'm Treyb." The human extended his hand.

The android was hesitant to trust this stranger. After all, they were in Hell, and who knew what wicked fiends lay in its depths, but still greeted him. "The name's 16."

"So, 16, you seem like a good guy. How'd you end up here?" Treyb questioned.

The humanoid sighed, but began. "I got in a fight with some punk kid. I nearly had him, but the blast I used killed me too. The rest was Yemma's decision."

"Sometimes Yemma can be like that. You just got on his bad side. The same happened to me. The worst thing I ever did was punch a guy because he was harassing a lady."

"Really? When did this happen?"

"A couple months ago. Little did I know that guy was a professional assassin, and the rest is history." 16 cracked a smile, as did his new friend. "I'm guessing you don't know much about this place." He shook his head. "Hell, is just a bunch of levels, one on top of the other. Right now we're on the top level. The lower you get, the more dangerous it gets."

"I could use some danger right now."

"It's not a fun kind of danger. Powerful demons reside in the lower levels, and at the bottom, is the most powerful of them all, Dabura. Rumors say he even controls that section."

The android paid heed to this, but then felt boredom overcome him. "So Treyb, how about we have a friendly spar?"

It didn't take the human too much time to debate it over in his mind. "Sure why not, but it's going to have to be a short one. I have to meet someone soon."

The humanoid nodded, and leapt back, lowering his ki as to not startle his opponent at the beginning of the battle.

The two circled around each other. Treyb seemed very anxious to get to the person he was scheduled to meet, so he cupped his hands, and thrust a ki blast to his opponent. 16 bobbed to the left, and clenched his fist, driving it into the human's chest. He stumbled backwards, but was determined to not give up so early.

He put one fist into his hand, and delivered an elbow to the android's midsection. Treyb then spun around, and landed a picture perfect jump kick to his new friend. With one swift movement of his arm, the humanoid grabbed his rival's ankle, and drove his head into the dense ground. He pushed himself out, and retaliated by throwing multiple ki orbs into the air.

At first, 16 was confused at why the human would do such a thing, but soon was able to answer his own question. The orbs began to radiate profusely, and slowly inched closer to each other. A light sizzling noise could be heard as the ki began to compress. A thin disc about the size of a dinner plate was formed now.

He pointed towards the android, guiding the disc through the air. 16 had no choice but to run. He bounded into the air, and swerved around in circles in an attempt to shake off the attack, but to no avail. He had become frustrated after a minute or so of being chased, and so had Treyb.

As the discs paused for a moment, he put his hands together, and then pulled them apart. The disc split down the middle, making a sharp buzzing sound, creating two attacks. They continued their pursuit, until the android was trapped between rock and a hard place, that hard place being another rock. It was similar to a small chasm, and 16 stood in fright, wondering what would be of him.

From in front and behind, the two discs hovered, awaiting to strike. With out warning they rocketed to the center, and with all of his speed, he leapt up and hung onto one side of the rocks, allowing the two ki forces to strike one another in a large explosion of smoke and dust.

"That was too close." He muttered under his breath.

"Not close enough." The human laughed. He slowly approached his opponent, a certain arrogance in his stride.

I should have known. He was suppressing his ki. How stupid was I to think otherwise.

In an effort to defeat Treyb, 16 gradually raised his ki level, as to not allow his rival to know he was gaining power. In an instant, he was before the human, connecting with numerous punches. In a blur of multiple images, the android vanished and reappeared behind him. His forearm struck the back of Treyb's head, causing him to be knocked to the ground, head first.

Still lying on the ground, he turned around and stared directly at 16. This time he looked different than when they had first met. This Treyb was darker and had a more sinister grin on his face. He was no longer kind hearted and playful. His skin grew pale and his hair seemed to be growing longer. His eyes turned to a dark shade of gray as his ki level raised at an alarming rate. Numbers were being calculated on the android's scouter. He was at a little over one million when he shook his head.

"Well it's time for me to go now. It was nice having a spar with you, later." Now he was completely different. He returned back to his normal state and stood up, brushing off the dirt on his clothes. He soared into the air, and flew off into the distance.

"Weird, and I have a feeling it's only going to get weirder."
