[Black Star Shenron]

A varied planet with many forests, and cities with tall closely-packed buildings (I don't mean skyscrapers) that create urban mazes that can be navigated on various levels (ground, rooftops, etcetera).

Every town is home to a Bounty Hunting Group. Many alien races have come here to join those groups and organize bounty hunting missions throughout the Universe.

Beware, the Bounty Hunters have pretty decent power levels. So if you get marked... well... don't think it'll be a walk in the park.

[Ace]

The ship landed on the roof of one of the taller buildings of the planet, and Ace quickly opened the hatch and stepped out. Capsuling the ship, he put it in one of his pockets and pulled out his planet-wide radar in the process. "Okay, Dragonball...show me where you are..." he muttered as he clicked it on.

OOC: And bring on the failure! >_>

[Black Star Shenron]

Somehow, Ace found the planet with the 7-Black Star Ball, due to some intense and ridiculous good luck.

So anyway, the Dragon Ball was recently taken as a trophy by one of the Bounty Hunters, Izla Urwenskryp... yeah, try saying that 10 times over... anyways, Izla is a well-feared bounty hunter who uses ninja-like tactics to kill her victims without them even knowing WTF is going on. Currently she's off duty, but she's a little paranoid and so keeps about 15 people guarding her somewhat well-furnished house at all hours... along with a few creatures that can only be compared to dogs in the way they bark and bite and rely on their sense of smell... so she won't be easy to reach.

Then there's the fact that any breach in the perimeter of her estate will result in her being alerted, so she'll wake the fuck up and get ready to protect her treasures.

Since nobody's allowed in her place without an appointment, there's no way you can get in peacefully... and because she'll try to kill anyone who makes it past the guards using her mad ninja skills... getting the ball will be brutal.

Izla's power level is somewhere over 4000, too... so Ace's only chance is probably in his dead stamina... so he should try to outlast her.

Oh... after beating her... then you have to find out where she's hidden the ball.

Have fun.

P.S. Make it to page 3, and you're stuck here for an entire 24 hours starting from this post.
Until then you're not allowed to finally find the Dragon Ball.

[Ace]

Ace blinked, looking at thd radar. "Huh... Well, what a stroke of luck this is..." he mumbled. "There IS a dragonball here! Awesome..." He lifted into the air at that. "Alright, it says it's this way!"

[Ace]

"So, away I go, I guess!" And, putting his radar into one of his pockets, he did just that and shot off in the indicated direction. "Hopefully, this won't be too hard...I'm rather in a hurry here, so I can't afford to waste too much time!"

[Ace]

Ace looked down at the planet as he shot over it. "Hmm... If I wasn't in such a hurry with this whole mission of mine, I might be inclined to check this planet out... Looks like it could be nice, out in the wild parts."

[Ace]

"But, that's all a moot point..." Ace mumbled. "As I DON'T have time to spend with thoughts like that. So, focus!" He reached into his pocket and pulled out the radar again to check it. "Should be in that city up ahead, if I'm not mistaken."

[Ace]

"Or...maybe a little further on..." Ace mumbled, turning the dial to get a more accurate reading. "Yeah...probably in the next city, or something..." Sighing, Ace pocketed the radar again, just continuing on his way.

[Ace]

He reached the city he had initially thought the radar might be in, and checked his radar again, confirming it was further on. "Jeeze... This planet is really dull when you're flying over it..." he mumbled, pocketing his radar again.

[Ace]

"But, I suppose that can be said for most planets, if you think about it," Ace said, turning ver to fly upside down as he said this. "Because, whe nflying above things, most planets seem to be rather....tedious and boring from your vantage point."

[Ace]

After several uneventful minutes, Ace arrived at his destination. "Well, this should be it... Lemme just check to make sure it is, though...otherwise useless wanderings will be useless..." He puleed out his radar again at that.

[Ace]

"Well... Yep, it's somewhere in this city, here," Ace said, and then descended toward it. "Okay...gotta be careful about this, so as to not draw attention to myself..." he mumbled. "So..." He glanced around as he landed. "Might be best to try and blend in as much as possible..."

[Ace]

Looking around at the others he saw, it came as no surprise that Ace stuck out like a sore thumb. "Hrmm..." Ducking into an alleyway, which conveniently no one even batted an eye about, Ace thought for a few seconds about how best to fit in.

[Ace]

And shortly thereafter, Ace had used his ki to draw himself up a new set of clothes...which made him stand out much less, but it was still obvious he was an outsider, or at least a newcomer. Can't hide certain things thar, me bucko.

[Ace]

"Alright, now to get on with this..." Ace said, and started walking, radar in hand. "Yeesh, this city is complicated..." he mumbled. "But, then again, so are most new places... I hate not knowing my way around."

[Ace]

After a few uneventful minutes of aimless wandering, Ace came to a spot where the radar reacted with a quick succession of beeps. "It's close..." he said, and pocketed the radar. Glancing around, he grinned. "Must be in here..."

[Ace]

Walking up to the building, Ace paused in front of it. "Okay...best be prepared for whatever in here," he said. "I have no idea what to expect." He pushed on the door, but it didn't budge. "Hmm..."

"What is your business here?"

[Ace]

"Say what?"

"You, at the door!" the hissed. "What business do you have with Izla Urwenskryp?"

"My business...is none of yours," Ace said after a few seconds.

"Then no admittance!"

Ace sighed. "Alright, I had a feeling things were going to have to get violent sooner or later."

[Ace]

Ace drew back one hand, gathering ki into it as he did. After a moment, he launched a ki wave at the door, blowing it off and sending it flying. Dropping his arm to hsi side, Ace walked inside. "Okay, now, who said that bit about no admittance?"

[Ace]

"That would be me!" someone growled, and leapt at Ace with a long-bladed knife drawn.

"Ooh, knives!" Ace said. "Scary!" He stepped back to avoid the initial lunge, and then brought his fist up into his attacker's face, stumbling him, before launching a swift roundhouse to his chest, sending him flying back.

[Ace]

"Well, now perhaps I can get-" A bullet whizzed by his head. "-on with my business..." Ace sighed. "Guess not..." The sounds of the person hitting the wall, in addition to his shouts, had alerted the other guards, who were now confronting Ace.

[Ace]

Ace pulled out his scouter and affixed it in place. Turning it on, he looked over the guards, getting a reading of their power. Letting out a sigh, he shook his head. "There's only two or three of you who could put up a decent fight... What a letdown for guards..."

[Ace]

Ace turned off hsi scouter and returned it to his pocket. "Well, let's get this over with!" Ace let his power rise at that. He knew that the leader of the guards was almost as strong, if not just as strong, as he himself was. So he wasn't taking any chances.

[Ace]

Ace immediately rushed the guards. He knocked two aside with a strike to their chests, and went for the strongest of the group. He reached him, and left an after image to confuse him, while Ace dashed behind him, throwing a kick at his spine.

[Ace]

The kick barely stumbled him, but Ace kept up the assault, throwing out repeated blows, all aimed in the same spot. He finally stopped when someone grabbed him from behind. Ace's response was to jump up and then come down, hard, on his back, slamming the unfortunate grappler into the ground.

[Ace]

This at least caused the one who had grabbed him to let go, giving Ace the opportunity to get up and continue his assault against the leader, pummeling him left and right with repeated blows. Individually, they wouldn't have done much, but they were adding up quickly.

[Ace]

And finally, when Ace swung a ki-filled palm into his face, the leader stumbled back and hit the ground, unconscious. "Hah, too easy!" Ace said, turning to face the next one who charged him with a grin. He ducked under the first blow that was swung at him, then kicked upward, knocking the weapon from his attacker's hand.

[Ace]

"Really? Weapons? Come on!" Ace said, before throwing a sharp kick into the attacker's solar plexus, and knocking back, and unconscious, in the one attack. "Wow... For guards, you guys are pretty weak..." He laughed at the display, or lack thereof, of their 'skill'.

[Ace]

While he was distracted by his useless taunt, one of the guards lunged at Ace from behind with a dagger, and grabbed him, making a wild slash at his throat. Ace let out a burst of ki when he felt himself be grabbed, knocking the dagger off from its course, and earning him a cut across his chest rather than a cut throat.

[Ace]

"Gah!" The attack actually hurt; a lot. Power or no, a dagger tearing at your skin was going to hurt if your opponent was as close to your level of strength as this guard was. And in response, Ace produced a sword, which he promptly used to lop off the leg of the guard who had grabbed him.
