Zone C -- Megacity One

[The Future Warrior]

As they went along, their pace slowed and grew more attentive, paying careful looks to their surroundings. They were starting to get close, and they both knew it. Eyes were peeled for wherever the item drop was going to land, as missing it when they were so close would be not only a waste of time for traveling all this way in such a hurry, but just downright embarrassing. Graowr was eager and excited to get to the drop site. Dawn had started looking around warily, slowing her pace even further, and trailing several paces behind her blue ally. It took the majin several minutes to notice this.

"Uh...Dawn? What's up?"

"...I think we've got company," was the answer, the dark-haired woman slowly scanning their surroundings with a careful eye. "Trying not to be seen, but..." She snapped her eyes down a sidestreet, glaring into the swirling fog and sheets of rain. It was hard to see much beyond a few dozen feet, but the hooded woman's eyes narrowed. "Stop lurking around and come out, already!" For a moment there was no immediate response. Only the constant, harsh pattering of the rain and wind howling through the spaces between buildings.

Then something rose above it. The distinctive, bold pitter-patter of footsteps across the wet ground. A bright glow flashed through the gloom, cutting through it with an electric blue glow. "Yahahahaha!" a loud, boisterous voice split the monotony of wind and rain, as a humanoid figure came striding into view. Abnormally tall, with ears of an unnatural length and...drums? attached to his back. "Looking for something, are we?" he asks, twirling a long, golden staff and hefting it to balance easily on his shoulder. Eyes, half lidded as if in exhaustion but with an unsettling glimmer of awareness and confidence, stare over a lazy, easy grin plastered on his features.

Behind him, another figure comes stalking out of the gloom. Much quieter, less boisterous, clad all in black. He said nothing, merely stood back, a pace behind and to the side of his own companion. His features (what were visible, with that absurd cowl) were locked in a hard, cold snarl. Eyes were narrowed in a steely, blue glare, slowly flicking from Dawn to Graowr.

Dawn was unimpressed, and just scoffed. "And who are you two supposed to be?"

The tall, shirtless man lifted his free hand, fingers splayed wide and palm out. "Who am I? You may call me—"

He was cut off before his introduction could be made by the smallest, bluest, least human member of the eclectic gathering springing forward. "God Enel!" she said quickly. Both of her hands were clenched into fists, her lips spread wide in an excited grin. "Wow, I didn't think I'd manage to run into you!"

That seemed to take the wind out of his sails, but only for all of a split second. His cocky, arrogant grin grew more pronounced. "Well! At least someone around here knows who I am!"

"Yeah! I ran across your tweets and stuff!" the blue creature said. "I've been checking in and watching footage of stuff you've done. Like when you fought that guy with the spear! That was so cool!" She gave an energetic fistpump, nodding her head excitedly. "And...and you're really the one, true god? Like, the god that's above all other gods?"

Enel didn't miss a beat. "Of course!"

"Awesome!" The majin doesn't even question it. "Hey, hey, God Enel! You came here to look for the item that's gonna drop soon, right? Let us help you search for it! We can find it a lot quicker that way!"

This actually caused the so-called god a moment of thought, letting his staff fall from his shoulder down to the ground with a solid, metallic clang as his free hand to stroke at his chin. His eyes observed the blue girl-creature and her...ally carefully, scrutinizing them intently. Finally, his grin returned. "Very well! God is always willing to accept assistance!" he proclaimed. Behind him, his dark-clad could almost visibly be seen grinding his teeth and restraining his eyes from rolling out of their sockets. "This is my other loyal servant Bats Man. Say hello, Bats!"

The caped figure, apparently called Bats Man, just gives a noncommittal grunt. "We don't have time for this. We should get a move on, and be waiting for the item when it drops."

"Yeah! We wanna get there early, so we can grab it as soon as it drops!" Graowr agreed, before jabbing at her chest with a thumb. "My name's Graowr!" She gestured at Dawn with her other hand. "That's Dawn." And then both arms came down firmly at her sides, palms flat against her legs, and she bowed at the waist, in Enel's direction, in a surprisingly proper and formal gesture. "It is a pleasure to meet you, and to be able to work with you, God Enel!" She hadn't learned much from her time training with Lord Beerus and Whis, but...she had learned to show proper respect for a deity, if nothing else. Standing back up, she turned about. "Let me lead the way, in case there's anything dangerous or anyone else already there!" And she was off, with the rest of the group following along in her far too energetic wake.

Only one of them looked anywhere near pleased.
