The day of the tournament began and all the contestants came forth for the preliminaries all gathering around the punching machine prepared to prove their might. The Champ made an appearance and waved to the contestants as always before punching the machine and moving away. A mess of contestants had gathered for the tournament, much more this year than last year making it take a little bit longer for everyone to get their hits in. Of course some of the Z fighters had shown up not about to pass up the opportunity to participate in the tournament again, though there were unfamiliar faces, some alien standing among the fighters as well. One Alien in particular with blue skin stood in the back arms crossed staring at the other fighters in silence. 

Ryo was among the contestants but he wasn't dressed as the others were, for personal reasons he didn't have any intention of revealing to anyone that he knew how to fight, and as this was a televised event he had little intention of revealing his face. Due to this fact he was dressed in a changshan and white martial arts bottoms, though the Changshan had long sleeves concealing his hands, he wore a blue bandana on his head which he kept his hair under and a fox mask over his face, essentially every part of his body was hidden so he could avoid even the smallest possibility of being recognized. When it came his turn he walked up to the punch machine and gave it a very careful hit, the numbers wer0 above average but still beat out a majority of the lower ones. Some of the technicians nearby thought the numbers were off but after a close enough look decided the machine was fine.

Goku stood nearby a grin on his face after having just gone himself, he rotated his shoulders eyeing the other contestants to size up the competition, his eyes stopped on the concealed Ryo tilting his head a bit.
"Hm...wonder why she's hiding her face...though she's not the only one here in a mask," Goku said looking at some of the other fighters.
He wasn't sure why but he got a strange feeling from the fox mask one, that and the alien that was sitting nearby. 
He had already gone his turn making sure to hold back to avoid raising suspicion, but when he looked to see who was next, he noticed the punching machine go flying, he reached up and scratched his cheek seeing a familiar figure in the crowd.
"He really doesn't know when to hold back..." Goku said.
Vegeta stood near the machine ignoring the frightened looks of the others before scoffing and leaving the area paying little mind to anyone nearby as he entered the waiting area. Ryo on the other hand was trying not to wet himself himself at what he just saw, that man seemed awful familiar, especially that scowl and that wasn't a normal hit.
[i]"I'm positive I'll be one of the fifteen. I should move away from here," [/i] Ryo said turning and walking away making sure not to go in the direction of the angry looking one.
A new machine was brought out during this time the other fighters who didn't make it a tad relieved they weren't going up against that monster.
