Description
Bruce and Sheldon sat down on the grassy hill facing Mira, who was sitting Indian style as she pulled out a notepad and pen

Mira: So first, previous employment can help in looking for a new job. Tell me, what was your last job?

Sheldon closed his eyes and gave a proud smile

Sheldon: I was a chef at a very well known restaurant! Cooking happens to be my passion!

Mira: Well then, what happened with that job?

Sheldon: Well... I... Uh... There was a little accident that happened, and... Uh...

Bruce: His cooking sucks.

The green haired man quickly turned to his much larger friend, his face turning red

Sheldon: S-Shut up! It's not THAT bad!

Bruce: Didn't you get fired because you gave every customer food poisoning?

Sheldon: DUDE! SHUT UP!! THAT WAS BECAUSE THE QUALITY OF THE INGREDIENTS WERE HORRIBLE!! IT WAS NOT MY FAULT!!!

He was flailing his arms as he yelled before regaining his composure

Sheldon: Besides, those guys treated me poorly. If they didn't fire me, I probably would've quit anyway.

Bruce: Yeah yeah, sure...

Sheldon: You have no room to talk! I lasted a good two months, unlike you, Mr. Train Engineer!

Mira: You operated a train?

Bruce: Yep! Central Station Subway! But... There was a bit of an accident on my third day and... Uh...

Sheldon: He collided with another train head on.

Bruce: Hey! That idiot came onto my side of the tunnel, thank you very much! His fault, not mine!

Sheldon: It's amazing that nobody died from that.

Bruce: Because I'm a good driver, unlike the idiot that hit me!

As the two began to argue, Mira shook her head and sighed as she muttered to herself

Mira: I wonder how these two had jobs in the first place...

The group decided to leave the ballpark, as the interview was beginning to draw attention. They soon stopped at a nearby cafe, where they sat down for a quick snack as Mira again spoke to the two unemployed men

Mira: So, what skills do you two possess? Besides what you think are skills...

Bruce: Well, I can do this!

The giant man made his way to a nearby vehicle, a garbage truck that was parked on the other side of the street. Without hesitation, he placed one hand underneath the vehicle, raising it above his head with minimal effort. Everyone that noticed was shocked at what they were witnessing. Everyone except Damion, who instead gave a quick low pitched whistle and a thumbs up

Damion: Nice!

Sheldon: Dude, you can put the truck down now. People are staring.

He did so, returning to his seat as people began to get up and either walk away slowly or sprint as fast they could. He flexed his muscles and smiled

Bruce: As you can tell, I'm stronger than the average man! Maybe they have a job that can use my raw strength!

Mira: Maybe... What about you, Sheldon? What other things can you do besides...try to cook?

Sheldon: Hm... Well, when I'm not cooking, I mess around with computers a bunch.

Mira: How so?

Sheldon: I've used a bunch of different programs and can bypass security systems. Here, let me show you!

He reached into his backpack and pulled out a black laptop. He opened it up and began furiously typing on the keyboard. Once he finished, he turned the device around so Mira could see. What she saw caused her face to turn blue as she saw what was on the screen

Mira: I-Is... Isn't that the... Government's nuclear weapon system...?!

Sheldon: Yeah, pretty cool, right? Their security isn't really as-

She quickly slammed the laptop down, looking around to make sure nobody saw what she saw before taking a deep breath. She then leaned back in her chair

Mira: Well, I guess I can get you two some work. I'll have to make some phone calls, though...

The two men pumped their fists in joy as she made her way to a nearby pay phone...

One week later...

Damion, Mira, and Keon all carried groceries as they walked passed a building that was under construction. Out of the corner of his eye, Damion could see a large man lifting multiple steel beams over his head with ease. He then turned to Mira and gave her a small smile

Damion: That was neat, helping them get work! Bruce in construction seems like the perfect fit!

Mira: That, and Sheldon working in the technology department at Sparx Enterprises is great for someone with his level of expertise.

Keon: W-Wow, Mira... How did you p-pull this off?

Mira: Heh! Well, when your dad is the boss of the fastest growing corporation in the world, you get connections that can help you out, you know?

Damion: And I can't believe those two will be entering the tournament coming up! Bruce especially seemes really strong! Heheh! I'm starting to get excited!

Keon: Hm? Hey...

The group stopped as Damion and Mira turned to the young redhead, who could barely peek over the large bag he held in his arms

Damion: What's wrong, Keon?

Keon: W-What is that up there?

He pointed towards a strange small figure that was several feet in front of them. The figure looked like a small creature with blue skin and sports many reptilian features, such as a tail and claws. Its yellow eyes seemed to lock onto the trio of onlookers and gave a low, menacing growl as it turned to them

Mira: What the heck is that?! Some sort of lizard?!

Keon: N-No... It's energy feels...dark...

???: ...

The creature suddenly bared its fangs and emitted a loud hiss as it jumped towards the trio. Before it could do any harm however, Damion appeared in front of it and kneed it in the torso. He immediately followed with a roundhouse kick, knocking the lizard-like creature to the ground. It then got up, the yellow in its eyes soon turning red as it let out a loud screech, causing Mira to cover her ears in pain

Mira: Augh! What's that thing doing?!

That question would be answered as several more lizard creatures appeared, shifting the advantage in numbers towards the beasts as the trio put their groceries down on the ground. Before they could fight, a bolt of white lightning flashed by the three and incinerated one of the creatures. They then saw three familiar faces come into view as the monsters began to advance

Lancelot: It seems we arrived just in time.

Keon: L-Lancelot!

Percival: These things just keep appearing. This will be quite bothersome...

Gawain: It would be wise to squish em quickly, then!

One of the creatures, who stood out from his brethren with a red line going down the left side of its face, then looked up into the sky before turning to his comrades and hissing. As if communicating, the pack of monsters decided to leave, disappearing in a sudden flash of light

Mira: What in the world? What were those things? Overgrown lizards?

Lancelot: Those creatures... They are artificial monsters who were developed as a form of infantry, immune to many conventional weapons such as firearms. One of them can defeat a group of skilled martial artists with little difficulty.

Mira: Artificial? But who's making them?

Percival: We first encountered one shortly after we left the monastery. After some investigating, we soon found out that these creatures were being produced...by Sparx Enterprises.

The girl in yellow's face turned into one of shock as Percival uttered those words, almost causing her to fall over in disbelief

Mira: There's... There's no way... My father would never...

Lancelot: This was as big a shock for us as I'm sure it is for you. We're currently investigating what exactly these creatures are up to.

Mira: ...

Keon: M-Mira...?

Mira: He would never approve of such evil looking creatures. Any project like this would have to get his signature for it to begin production. But he stated that he would never develop weapons... Then why would...?

Lancelot: I'm sorry that this is such a shock to you, really. We will find out why this is happening. You have my word.

Mira: ... Thanks... But... I'm gonna get the answers I need soon.

Damion: What do you mean, Mira?

Mira: The tournament is next week. If my intuition is correct, a Sparx Enterprises executive will be on hand during the entire tournament. I'll use them to meet with my father and find out why he approved of making these freaks. Come on, let's get back to the monastery. I wanna get to training as soon as possible!

Damion: Alright! Thanks for helping us, Lancelot! Let's go, Keon!

Keon: R-Right!

Meanwhile, in a laboratory within Sparx Enterprises...

A man who wore only a brown loincloth sat in a chair. His long gray hair fell over most of his head, hiding his face as he talked to himself

???: Ugggh... This form... It's amazing that I am able to move, let alone absorb energy... These weaklings barely give me anything...

His monologue was interrupted by footsteps approaching him. He turned to see another man, wearing a white lab coat, and having an elongated head and crooked nose. He was cautious as he approached the wild looking man, who simply gave him a look of disgust

???: Oh, it's only you... What is it, Kashmir?

Kashmir: The Mini Leviathans have returned, Lord Nergal. And they brought you a treat!

A pair of the blue lizard-like creatures dragged in an unconscious man with brown hair, who wore a white karate gi. Nergal simply looked at the man and rolled his black eyes

Nergal: Great... Another weakling with little to offer me. Oh well... I'm starving...

Without much effort, he thrusted his arm through the unconscious man's chest, impaling him. A blue aura soon emanated from the now deceased martial artist, surrounding the scruffy man as he began to change. His hair became somewhat shorter, as well as the color becoming a darker shade of gray. His body gained some mass as he looked over the carcass, whose blood was spreading over the floor. He smiled in satisfaction

Nergal: Well, it seems he was a lot stronger than I first anticipated. His life force was scrumptious!

Kashmir: Just wait until the tournament next week, which is sure to draw the world's strongest fighters! It will be like a feast, I assure you, master!

Nergal: Heh... Yes, I hope so. I'm getting hungry simply from thinking about it... Heheheh... Hahahaha!!!
