Sorry I took so long on that post. Also, I couldn't think of a way to slip a character into Niko and Wan's plot line just yet. Probably for the best though. It would have only taken that much longer to write.

So I'll be conversing back and forth with Angela and Bakuto to reveal their plot, while Niko and Wan have free reign to push their plot line forward at whatever place they like. I may jump in if asked or if I see an important opportunity, but it's not necessary right now, because you already have a solid plan for their story.

Dragon Ball: Universe Zero

Tournament Aftermath, Planet Earth

Sunday, July 17th, 2500

Bakuto wasn't as alone as he thought he was. From behind a cloud, Pan looked down on him. She no longer wore her festival attire. Instead, she wore a comfortably fitting red T-shirt with a sports bra underneath and black work out pants with black boots. Her hair was pulled back into a short ponytail. She looked like a proper tomboy again, or tom-woman, considering her age.

On the outside, she was apparently doing nothing but watching. On the inside however, she was having a telepathic conversation.

"I was sure this one was ready... until I saw him last night at the festival." She said disappointingly. "He really showed little self control."

"You're being too harsh." A deep man's voice responded. "You're grandfather wasn't a saint, and neither were you at this kids age."

Pan smiled, "It's funny hearing such kind words out of you. You used to be such a hard ass."

"Just go down there. He could be of use."

"Fine." She huffed.

Pan emerged from behind the clouds, the sun to her back, making it hard for Bakuto to see her. However, as she slowly descended, he could see more and more. First, she was a dot, then a indistinguishable figure, then a person, and finally (when she was close enough) he could finally make out who he was looking at.

She landed on the ground gracefully, almost as if she was wearing a parachute. Even then, people with parachutes don't usually land that smoothly. She half smiled and waved. "We need to talk." She said, as she casually walked across the arena toward Bakuto.

Meanwhile, on Angela's walk to the airport...

Angela was following her stomach, and it brought her to a mostly empty ramen shop. A woman had just ordered Togo and was walking away with her food.

The tan skinned shop keeper smiled as Angela approached, asking her, "What are you having today, champion? It's on the house! For you and your friend!"

At first, Angela didn't know what the man meant. She came here alone, didn’t she? That's when the older man with salt and pepper hair spoke up. When did he get there? Was he following her the whole time?

"I'll just have water." The man said gently. He then sat at one of the stools and looked over at Angela. "By all means, eat your fill. You deserve it. But please, sit down with an old man. I have a question for you." His eyes were calm and reassuring.

Just don't be breaking any fingers. You need those to type!

Seriously though, I hope everyone heals quickly. Wish I could give you all senzu beans.

Dragon Ball: Universe Zero

So everyone knows, I'm working on a post, but it's going to be a fairly sizable one. It may take a couple days.

Hope everyone is well.

Dragon Ball: Universe Zero

Everyone, I have tomorrow morning off. I've been working a lot of doubles lately. I'll get a post up then.

Great writing everyone!!

@Double

Yeah, I didn't correct you when you said the tournament was on Papaya island, because I didn't think it was a big deal. I myself had never officially stated that it was on Papaya island. You came to that assumption on your own.

As @FalloutJack mentioned, this is an alternate universe. Basically, we're mixing Dragon Ball lore with our actual Earth history. So, for the record, our story takes place on real world earth, but with Dragon Ball characters (though these characters may vary from their anime counterparts on occasion, if I feel it fits out plot better.

Sorry for the short post everyone. Haha! Please, feel free to move forward as we discussed. About 20 hours have passed, but the time of day in your post can vary depending on where in the world your character is located.

Assuming the tournament took place near Japan and we're using that as point of reference, it is about 6pm there. Use that when thinking about time zones.

World Martial Arts Tournament, Planet Earth

Sunday, July 17th, 2500
The Day After

The festival went perfectly. The tournament broadcast reached across the galaxy. Martial artists the cosmos over cheered. It was a day to remember for sure, but even the best things come to an end.

It was the next day, and the sky was blue. The grass was still green, and the world kept spinning. Life was returning to normal, or was it... ?

Dragon Ball: Universe Zero

@Balthazar007 So, next day, then?

@FalloutJack

Yes! I'm going to go ahead and start working on the next post now. I'll have it up in about thirty minutes.

@Double Can you add your secret technique to your character sheet, por favor?

Disregard this message. I didn't realize that you never revealed your technique until I thought, "Wait, did he even use his technique?" After going back of your brief fight, I see that Han didn't use his technique. My bad. haha!
