DRAGONBALL REALITY

Chapter 2

The next day Eric did log on again, this time with a more clear goal in mind than yesterday, defeat Raditz. Considering the beating the long haired saiyan had dealt out yesterday he normally would have instantly decided against it, but with

the armor Carl had given him he was feeling a bit more confident. The first thing that happened when he logged in was an explosion, which sent him timling threw the air and into a sky-scraper where h was quick to get to his feet. The first thing he saw was a number of players engaging Broly, in his legendary state, in a very one-sided fight.

One of the fighters was knocked through the wall next to Eric who promptly asked in his most polite tone "What the hell is going on!?"

The player stood up and scowled wiping a hand through his black messy hair as he said "Don't you keep track of anything!? Today is the Broly event day, on which Broly is unleashed at the begginers area so weaker fighters can go against him."

"Oh, so how is it going?" Eric asked stupidly.

The man sighed as another explosion rocked the street. "Not well, their isn't a single person here with more than a four digit power level other than myself."

"Well then i guess i should help." Eric said as he prepared to leap out into the fray.

The man scoffed as he pulled out a scouter training it on Eric. "With a power level of 417, i have a powerlevel of 18,000 and i can't do anything against him!" He cried after the scouter made some beeping noises.

Eric shrugged as he said "Yeah, but this should help give my power level a boost, who are you anyway?"

The man snarled a bit as he said "I am called Tyson Elkins, now if you plan to help then you best keep up." That being said he sprang away from the building so fast that Eric instnatly lost sight of him, then with a shrug, Eric shot towards where

Broly had just obliterated an entire group of fighters with a single blast.

Tyson came in hard with a round-house kick to the side of Broly's head, but did no damage, so with a grunt he dropped low spinning around smashing a second roun-house against the legendary warriors knee, a blow which had no effect.

Broly turned around just in time to take a barrage of punches to the face from Tyson.

"Scum." Broly said, then released a single blast which blew Tyson backwards into a another building, while Eric came in with a right hook which hit nothing but air, then a fist came crashing down on his skull killing him instantly, and then he

found himself standing on what looked like the front lawn of Capsule Corp.

"The heck?" He asked.

"This is where people beaten by Broly during this event respawn." Someone said to the right.

Eric whirled to see a very grumpy Tyson standing there with a scowl on his face. "Oh, can we go back?"

"No, once you lose to Broly you will be unable to re-enter that area until the event ends. Now leave me alone." Tyson said, and with that he launched into the sky and flew off into the horizon.

"Grumpy guy." Eric noted, then he set out to see about some relaxation. As he understood it, the islands surrounding Roshi's island were a nice place to just relax, complete with snack stands.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Though none of them knew it, the players at Capsule Corp were being closely observed. Vincent Adkins, a high level player, watched them from the shadows. His job was simple, keep them out of the building. The front door was locked

for now, but if some of the more rowdy players started going at it there was a risk that they might blow a hole in the buildings exterior, or something like that. If any such fights started he would instantly bring them to an end, and if anyone did get inside, he would quickly defeat them, log off, head to that persons home, and kill them.

Of course, there was a chance that other players would attack him if he interfered in any disputes or sparring matches. Just in case something like that happened, he had bribed several of the stronger players with a hefty sum of money to

back him up, should any such fights break out.

"What pitiful fools." He muttered as he watched the players talking laughing, and generally having a good time. His anger grew. His watch continued.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eric chuckled as he logged off later that day, releasing a yawn when he realized how tired he was. He hoped to play again tommorow, maybe focus on improving his power level some more. For now he figured it was time for some dinner.

Feeling lazy, he called up Dominos Pizza and ordered a phili cheese steak pizza with extra cheese.

He then heard a knocking at his door, and with a sigh went to anwser it.

He grinned a bit when he saw Carl. "Whats up?" Eric asked.

Carl grimaced as he said "I need a place to stay tonight, my Ex snuck into my place while i was out shopping and poured a bucket of paint on my bed."

"That sucks, you gonna call the cops?" Eric asked as he let his friend inside.

"Nah, i was just getting ready to get a new matress anyway. By the way, regarding DBR."arl said as he made his way to the sofa.

"Yeah?" Eric asked.

"Well, i heard about a secret area hidden inside Capsule Corp, i was thinking i would check it out. Wanna join?" Carl explained.

"Not yet, i want to get a bit stronger before i go into any secret areas." Eric replied.

"How about next week then?" Carl asked.

"Sure." Eric said. If only he had known then the trouble those words would cause him later.
