The stage was set and finished, all the lights and cameras were ready, and the stands were built and tickets sold. Most of the participants had come in advance and were simply waiting for the opening ceremonies and to start their fights. "It's almost that time fans! The combatants are preparing for battle, and we are less than 24 hours away from kicking off the first annual Muscle Tower Tag Team Tournament! Will the following combatants please make their way to their designated areas. All fights will be taking place on the same large stage area, so it is best to familiarize yourself now with your designated area of the stage."Saizomaru Reece Matsuo Tarch Chromo Fights will officially start when I post and announce the official start. Feel free to post and trash talk, strategize, etc until then.

Most of the participants had gathered by now and only a single chopper was up ahead surveying the area as the others hadn't shown up just yet. In the dead of night and quiet of the desert and loud whirring sound could be heard by all in the area as the roof of Muscle tower began to lower with a loud mechanical sound. Up in the sky firework began to go off and from the sides of the tower up above the seats for the audience speakers began to appear from the sides of the tower as the sounds of a single guitar note blared outward. The roof of Muscle Tower began to raise once more and a top the large tower being raised into the sky was a full band. An Arcosian on drums, a Namekian on guitar, a Saiyan on bass, and a human lead singer. From the center of the stage a larger platform raised above them showing Hale holding a microphone. "Welcome all participants, audience members, and all of those of you watching from home. This is your thirty minute warning to get warmed up and once the clock runs down it is time to fight!" The band on top of the tower began to play loudly as the platform Hale stood on lowered back into the tower. You can now start posting to fight as of this post.

Tarch PL: 100,000. Energy Setting:40,000
This would be the first tournament the teen ever officially participated in his life. Being half saiyan on one side of the family, and the grandson to an international champion on his human side, it was always a wonder why he took so long to get into any official match such as this. Technically there was the previous tournament, but that one was cut short and started with a no show. This time Tarch was ready for a real match. Tarch wore his usual clothes, a simple pair of shorts and a tank top. He looked over at the opponent’s side, remembering what Nashua wanted about his stepfather. Nine hundred thousand, then over a million! Would Sai use that power here? Tarch shook his head clear, remembering that this was just for fun. Even if Saizo had a lot of power, the half saiyan had something he didn’t. Tarch looked over at his best bug buddy.
“Hey Chromo, before we get out there there's something I wanna show you real quick.” Tarch took in a deep breath through his nose, focusing on his best friend. After a moment, he could feel the mental connection being made, now it was up to Chromo if he wanted to accept it. “We can plan using telepathy. That way Sai and Mr. Reese won’t be able to hear us.” Tarch smirked at the bio-android, his lips staying perfectly still.
Once the little insect was ready and adjusted to the odd feeling of being connected with another mind, the young hybrid was dash out onto the arena, doing a small flip as he jumped on. He gave his two opponent a cocky smile. In all honesty, he was nervous, not about losing, just the insane amount of power his stepdad could muster. “It’s been a while Mr. Reese, I watched some of your movies after we met in the desert. You’re pretty cool, but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna go easy!” As for Sai, Tarch would just give him a shaky smile, “I’m not taking it easy on you either Sai.” His tone was a little more serious for Kohlra’s husband.

[PL: 12,404]
Reece slowly walked onto the arena, waving to the cheering fans with a charming smile. "Thank you~! Thank you~!" He dug into his pockets, taking out a comb and running it through his hair, sighing in contempt. Looking over to his partner, should the white haired android be there beside him, he'd chuckle before initiating conversation. "Man, it's been a while since I got into a tournament. Show biz gets your hands full most of the times. And you know, there's always the possibility of being injured and you know how scared those fat rich guys in suits get when their piggy bank breaks. Bahaha! Ha...phew..." Wiping a tear from his eye after stating a rather cheesy joke, and smirked. "Never mind that. The tournament should be the first thing we should focus on."
Stopping in front of his opponents, he was met with dejavu. That kid...did he know him from somewhere? The excited preteen seemed to know who he was, and once he mentioned there time spent in the desert, Reece recalled those memories. The strange adventure they had in those ruins with that Saiyan Prince. "Ah, right, I remember ya! Hey kid!" After hearing his declaration though, Reece couldn't help but laugh awkwardly. Would it be alright to hit a child...? Weren't there age restrictions in these damn tournaments! Still, Reece did remember what that kid did back there in the desert. He caused a damn earth quake with that punch of his, even causing a crater in the ground.
Beside him stood that annoying....bug thing that sat atop his head earlier. Reece scowled. "...Erm." The movie star was still salty about that bug thing's trash talk from earlier. Of course, he didn't say anything, he just gave him a brief nasty look before averting his gaze. Suddenly, he heard the announcer. It was time then. Seeing his chance, he wasted no time to kick off, running towards Chromo, his fists clenched tightly. "You little--!" He threw his shoulder into the punch, hoping to send Chromo tumbling onto his back.

ROUND ONE
CHROMO'S PL: 75,000
Chromo licked away at his last droplets of ice cream before promptly eating the cone in one gulp. The little bugger seemed excited, but still very sure of him upcoming victory. He had won one tournament, so he could win another easy-peasy! And it'd be even easier and funner now that he had Tarch on his side as well. Their match was about to begin, but Tarch had one more thing to make sure of. Chromo felt a little itch inside of his head, but was none the wiser to try and block it out. Tarch's voice rang in his head, and Chromo's eyes lit up in surprise. 'Wooooah! This is cool! I never knew you could read minds!... Wait....' His gaze sunk. 'Don't try and dig out my secret hiding spot for my snacks, nerd! Those are MINE!' The Bio-Android proclaimed in spite of Tarch only being able to project his thoughts, and not read Chromo's memory with his telepathy. Chromo hopped up onto Tarch's shoulder before they lurched into the arena. "WeeeeEEEEEEEeee!" He called out when jumping off of his perch, doing a flip in the air before landing on his hind legs, arms stretched out to his sides in a confident pose. "Oh! You're that Reeces guy?" Chromo rang, eyeing Reece up and down and butchering his name's pronunciation again. Before he could start to taunt, though, the human jumped forwards to start the fight off with a kick, aiming to punt Chromo like a football! The bug chirped in shock initially, but quickly curled his form into a pill-bug-esque ball moments before the human landed his attack. The spherical beetle was kicked afar, his curled body bouncing backwards... However, when it hit the wall, Chromo spun his form further for more speed, bouncing off the concrete and back towards Reece like a vengeful dodgeball. Regardless of if his counter struck or not, Chromo would unclurl after the maneuver and plop back onto the ground. "What, are we skipping all the cool pre-fighting one-liners or something? That's no fair! I practiced for hours last night, nerd!!"
Chromo's KP: 3/3

Saizomaru PL: 116,000 (Base)
Here Saizomaru was, entering another tournament that he hoped he'd be able to reach its conclusion before he is called away once more. A part of him wanted to ignore the help of the common folk if it meant he could keep fighting here. Most of all, he just wanted to fight his stepson.
The android found himself hopping to the arena edge with his tag team partner. Reece Matsuo was apparently some sort of big shot action star, though Saizomaru had no clue as to who he was or what movies he had been a part of. He wasn't a movie person. He had no love of film stars either—overpaid people who get more money than the people who really matter: doctors, nurses, policemen and fire fighters.
Welcome to corporate Earth.
It didn't take too long before their opponents arrived. The android was keen to see the little bug boy Chromo once again in another tournament, whom now he got to face proper. Then, he was surprised to face his own little kid Tarch in the opening bracket. He had hoped to face him in the later stages, perhaps even the finals. Regardless, he gave the two of them a small smile and a nod.
Then, it didn't take long for the film star to strike out first. He seemed to have a chip on his shoulder. The android hung back and watched him and Chromo duke it out for a moment before he turned his attention to Tarch.
"Who'da thought I'd be fighting you in the first round?" he mused aloud as he shook his head. "Welp… Them's the breaks, I guess."
He gave a light hum as he took position into a sideward stance. Then, he raised his forward-most arm and beckoned Tarch to attack him with a flick of his fingers. "For your sake, I hope you're not holding back. I want this battle to last."
Tarch
KP: 3/3

Somehow it seemed like Reese actually remembered Tarch. It was a pleasant surprise. The two almost met a year ago, and though the hybrid kept the same basic look, he had grown a couple inches and his voice might have gotten a tone deeper, or so he wishes. In actuality, Tarch had the same childish voice as before without even a crack of puberty showing yet. It seemed he was more intent of attacking Chromo first, probably for the best for the bug. It also gave Tarch a sense of how strong the actor was.
“Oh wow. Hey Mr. Reese! I see you’ve gotten stronger. You’re even stronger than I was when we first met!” Tarch called over with an honest compliment. It was true, Reese was now twice as strong as the hybrid when he first met him. Of course, he didn’t mention his own strength increasing by leaps and bounds. More notable was his partner though. Tarch looked at his stepdad, a bit of sweat trickling down the back of his neck. He knew the android would never actually hurt him, but the amount of power he had at his disposal was frightening.
“I dunno, I think it’s cool we get to fight first. I think I cool finale would be either me against mom or you against her.” Tarch shifted into his own fighting stance, looking cleaner and leaving almost no openings. He couldn’t put his finger on it, but something about getting the chance to fight him again excited him, even more than scared him. He would just take a quick look over at Chromo, who was already bouncing back, literally. He decided to send the bug a quick message. "There's no way I can take on Saizomaru alone, try and get Mr. Reese over toward us so we can try and fight 'em both at the same time." The idea was that if Chromo and Tarch accidentally hit each other they could easily shrug it off since they were close in power. Meanwhile, if Reese got too close to Sai, the latter ran the risk of accidentally taking his teammate out. As Chromo would do his part, Tarch would be sure to keep Sai's attention off of the bio-android. “Guess I should get started too.”
Without another word, Tarch shot off toward his robotic opponent. He knew he had to do things a little differently than before. So as Tarch drew in close enough to land a hit, he would instead disappear in a burst of speed, similar to how he started their first match. However, instead of darting behind him or to the side, the teen would pop right back where he started, sending his fist hurling right for the side of Saizomaru’s head.

Reece smirked, seeing the now ball formed Chromo get sent skyrocketing out of bounds. "Heh, that was easy." Reece was about to wave to the fans and showboat before he noticed that this battle wasn't going to be over that quickly. The 'ball' began to spin rapidly against the wall before it bounced back at a high speed, heading right for the movie star. Reece through his arms outward, blocking the force but ultimately having his arms get scraped due to the rapid rotations. The impact also pushed him back a bit, allowing his feet to skid on the ground, but he kept his balance. He frowned at the bug like creature, getting quite irritated at the taunting.
"One liners? Please. I'm the KING of cheesy one liners." It was part of the profession after all. He put a palm to his chin, pushing it to the side, effectively cracking his neck. "The last thing I want to do is hurt you..." Reece flashed a smirk, pointing a finger at Chromo dramatically. "But it's still on the list..."
Reece got back into his fighting stance, though he made no move this time. This bug was unpredictable. Reece was used to normal martial arts. This dude was completely wild! Being on the defensive for now seemed like the best move. At least until he could get a good grasp into what Chromo could really do.

ROUND ONE
CHROMO'S PL: 75,000
"Eh? What list? Like, a shopping list, or...?" Chromo tilted his head with palpable confusion in response to the "King of one-liners." He shook his head regardless of the human, rearing back once more as Tarch's voice chimed inside his head once more. 'On it!' He telepathically chimed back before turning to the human. "You sure can play ball, but I'm gonna hit a home run right here and now, nerd!" Chromo claimed with a wide grin. The beetle curled up once more, bouncing off the ground and starting to hover and spin. Red ki laced around his body before the spherical beetle whizzed around the arena like a motorcycle, spinning around before bouncing into the air.
Uncurling his body, Chromo tilted his form. He was still covered in that intense ki, and if uninterrupted, he'd move to slam right into Reece's back with his shoulder to shove them both closer to Saizomaru and Tarch! This was but a weak blow from the bug- he had to start of slow to build up tension and excitement from the crowd, after all! They wanted a good show, right? But could the movie star take Chromo's power even when he was pulling punches...?

Saizomaru PL: 116,000 (Base)
Saizomaru continued to look on briefly at the small scuffle that was happening between Reece and Chromo. It seemed that his tag team partner was having a rough, hard time against the smaller bug—Chromo was using his small, light body to get an edge on speed against his opponent. The android pondered whether this was going to be a routine between the two.
Nonetheless he was more concerned with how his stepson was going to handle his own battle. As strong as Tarch was, Saizomaru was far ahead in terms of power and skill.
"So it begins," he called out as he met Tarch midway across the plane. His fist reeled back and struck out, colliding with the boy's own knuckles. A small shockwave exploded outwards that buffeted the crowd from so far back as their fists were locked together, unmoving.
The android would not trap himself inside his own tunnel vision; he had learned not to keep focus on one target ever since Satan City. He continued to spread his attention to the fight between his and Tarch's partners. Then, choreographed by the bright aura of ki, he noticed that Chromo was charging up an attack. He had seen the bug fight in the last tournament a while ago to know what was coming.
"Be right back," the android said to the saiyan with a small smirk. With a forward thrust of his arm he pushed the boy backwards, then immediately dashed to Reece, his back to his partner's.
"Niohmon!" He slammed his hands on the ground and, in a huge pillar of ki, a shinto gate-shaped barrier rose from the ground to keep Chromo at bay. He hummed a little as the bug slammed his body against a wall that refused to break.
His eyes shifted over his shoulder to the film star. "I hope this isn't gonna become a trend," he said to him. "I don't wanna throw my back out carrying you all day."

It seemed like Tarch’s initial attack was met with little success. Sai’s fist came to meet him perfectly, sending out a small shockwave. It was already clear that Tarch would need more than his own set of tricks if he wanted to beat his stepfather. Luckily he had a friend to lend his own brand of trickery and strength. Luckily it seemed like Tarch’s plan to force Reece into the fight with Saizomaru was working. Of course, the android wasn’t going to just let his stepson follow him.
The half saiyan smirked, throwing an arm up to try and cushion Sai’s push. Tarch staggered back but was able to keep his footing enough that he could prepare his own attack. With a blue flaming fist, Tarch launched himself toward Sai, aiming to give him a good hit to his back.
“You think I’m just gonna let you get away?” he called after the silver-haired android just before he went to attack. Tarch wasn’t too worried about whether his attack hit or not. If it hit then great he did some damage. If not then he knew Sai would still use up his energy trying to avoid it. There was just one problem. With Tarch’s inexperience, he was sure that it might be a good idea to keep Reece active as long as possible as a distraction, rather than getting him out quickly so Sai had to fight two on one. That was his thought process anyway, but he wanted to see what his bestie thought. “Hey Chromo, you think we should keep Mr. Reece up so we can keep doing this or should we take him down now? Also, let me know if you ever want to switch opponents.”

Reece narrows his eyes, backing up defensively as his opponent once again formed himself into a small ball. In a moment, it seemed as if he vanished, but Reece knew that wasn't the case. The wind hit his face and he grunts, his eyes darting around the arena struggling to keep up with this beast of an opponent he was fighting. Reece had no idea that Chromo even stopped behind him to attack, not until his silver haired partner showed up, effectively stopping him from getting hurt by the attack.
Reece stared at Saizomaru and frowned. "Oy, oy...I'm a capable fighter." He scoffed, crossing his arms. "When I signed up for the tournament, I didn't think I'd be up against beasts and monsters damn it..." He grumbled, rubbing his nose. He was only human. What was he supposed to do against these guys? Speaking of...there were four of them in the ring. The fourth---Tarch! Reece turned his head seeing Tarch run towards Saizomaru with...a flaming fist?? What kind of technique was that?!
Reece bared his teeth. The kid was fast, that much was certain. He wouldn't be able to intercept the attack on time. Instead of trying to stop it, Reece kicked off, headed straight for where the kid would have ended up. His fist began to glow a ghostly white aura around it as he prepared to strike. Deep down, he was uncertain if he should even hit a kid but...this was a martial arts tournament. In a way, it was respectful to not hold back. Should he succeed, his fist would end up being targeted towards the side of Tarch's cheek.

Chromo grumbled in annoyance as Saizo blocked his attack. Chromo buzzed backwards before Tarch moved to ram the android with a swift stab to the back- or, well punch. Shortly after, his friend's voice rang again. 'Waaait, you mean he's weak 'enuff for us to take him out just like that?!' Chromo telepathically questioned back as Tarch's voice rang in his head. 'Pssssssh, if that's the case we don't haf'ta worry about him. That was like, my WEAKEST attack!' He bragged, grinning and rearing forwards once more.
Maybe he could keep Reece around as target practice for a bit... but Chromo's thoughts soon changed as he saw the movie star try and glock his best buddy. "Oh, HECK NO!" The bug shouted, darting right past the human and right onto Tarch's form. He latched right onto his friend's shoulder, form raised to block the punch to his face. A familiar red glow began to fester around the bug as Reece hit his body with the fist. The two coats of ki began to clash with another, but the human would find his attack's energy just wasn't enough to push through Chromo's aura. With another screech, Chromo used his remaining ki to propel his body right towards Reece's face. The bug would try and stick onto his head and bite at the poor human's nose!

Saizomaru PL: 116,000 (Base)
Saizomaru gave a hum at his partner's response. "Then you had better start getting used to it and start upping your game, superstar," he replied with a small smirk. The android knew that he wasn't going to be able to fend off an attacker and protect Reece all day—even he had a limit on his capabilities.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Tarch coming at him with an attack of his own, starting to take this fight seriously. Quick to respond, Saizomaru spun around to face his stepson, palm open with an orb of shimmering ki in hand. His technique met with the boy's own, creating sparks of flashing whites, yellows and reds around their hands as the boy's fist slammed into the orb.
"Who said I was trying to get away from you?" the android said with a snarky grin. Then, without effort, the orb exploded outwards, aiming to blow away the saiyan kid with a tremendous, forceful shockwave.
Yes, at the same time, Chromo had taken to counter Reece's own technique. With so much going on at once, Saizomaru could not react in time to keep his partner from taking a huge amount of the brunt of the bug boy's attack. The only thing he could do for the moment was try and keep the pressure on Tarch.

Things were already getting a little cluttered with attacks being thrown left and right. While Tarch was busy chasing down his stepfather, Reece came out of nowhere trying to get in a hit of his own. Luckily Chromo was fast enough to stop him, sending his own attack out. The hybrid took a small breath of relief. Even if it was small enough for him to handle, Tarch wanted to face Saizomaru taking as little damage as possible.
Of course, that didn’t stop the android himself from hitting back. Once again Tarch’s fist met Sai’s attack, the latter sending him skidding back a good few feet. The teen managed to regain his footing easily enough though only now his hand was left a little red. He shook out his hands, hissing in pain.
“Guess I shoulda seen that one coming,” he groaned still smiling. Tarch then took a quick moment to look over at Reece and Chromo. Assuming the human was hit, it was likely that he’d still be standing, though definitely a little battered. He wondered if no would have been a good time to switch partners. After Chromo’s consecutive attacks though, pitting him up against someone like Saizo was probably a bad idea. So he decided against switching. “Thank bud! If you think we should take him down now then go for it! I’m gonna keep Sai busy.”
Tarch gave his stepfather a wide smile, his aura now flaring up even more. There was another reason he wanted to keep fighting Sai strategy aside. After their little match a while back, the hybrid wanted to prove he could come back from a loss. So once again he ignited his fist in icy blue fire. No tricks or afterimages for this one though, Tarch wanted to lay on a strong and fast assault.
