@The Kid Lantern *raises hand* Present
@The Kid Lantern I'm not expecting the Mr. Freeze thing to end particularly well. For one thing, Freeze can't be trusted. Secondly, I'm almost positive it'll take Batman all of like five minutes to catch wind of what's going on and show up to end the conversation.
I'm kind of waiting for a time skip of some sort before posting again. Archer's kind of down for the count at the moment so trying to post now would result in a very short post to the effect of, "Zero was still passed out, with no signs of coming to until being given medical treatment." and that would be rather boring, I'm sure.

Also, a time skip would be the best opportunity to go through with my "Talk to Mr. Freeze" idea.
While eating the last bite of muffin, and sipping on whatever coffee was left in his cup, Cyrus heard Arthal's announcement and almost immediately proceeded to tense up. Though he tried not to show it, it wasn't hard to see in his reaction that the man had reservations about going to the Land of Dragons. Still, he finished his coffee and silently made his way to where the gate was so he could follow Arthal. Moments before that Azazel greeted him with a silent wave and Cyrus returned the favor.

"The Land of Dragons... last I heard their former Dynasty had all but crumbled into warring factions. Something about the Emperor dying and there being no heir to inherit his throne." Cyrus said aloud to anyone who cared enough to listen. Unfortunately, that was as much as he said before starting to clam up and saying nothing more on the matter. Again, it wouldn't take a genius to see that there was something about the affair that Cyrus wasn't telling them.

"In any case, I've visited the Land of Dragons before so I imagine you'll be needing me so we don't lose our way." he said with a short sigh that made him sound none-too-excited about the trip, "And, yes, they're sure to be wary of us. The war hasn't exactly been kind to their world."

Unable to put it off any longer, he took a reluctant step through the warp gate. It was time to face one of the dark chapters of his past. How many years has it been? He asked himself mentally. Six? Seven? Either way, things are about to get... complicated.
...And it starts. Cyrus even has a bit of a... history with Land of Dragons. This ought to be good.
I would just like to point out that Akira Toriyama himself said that the Power Levels were always intended to be utterly meaningless. Hence why the Scouters were constantly wrong or getting broken.

EDIT: Also, putting numbers on all of this stuff is likely to encourage people to compete over who can make their numbers bigger in the shortest amount of time, turning this all into a giant pissing contest. Speaking from experience on that front.
@Sigil I'm surprised a joke like that hasn't popped up in DBZ Abridged yet. Especially while the Ginyu Force was around.

@Jotunn Draugr She might get along pretty well with Shay. Maybe. If she enjoys getting drunk and potentially picking bar fights or the like.
For the record, I still think this plan is foolish.

"Yeah, yeah, I heard ya the first five times." hissed Shay in as low a whisper as possible. Presently, he was using Alastor's powers to blend himself into the colors of the foliage outside the military camp. Metropolis, being a quarantine zone, was pretty thoroughly locked down, as such entering the city wasn't happening without some form of authorization, be it from the Military or the Justice League. Shay, much to the demon's annoyance, made it his mission to get into the League's camp so he could directly offer his help to them. Getting Alastor to agree to the idea was difficult, but not impossible. The conversation had gone something like this:

"You want to do WHAT?"

"You heard me. We sneak past the Military, then show ourselves to the Justice League. The very fact we reached them undetected should be impressive enough to convince them we're worth having around."

"Yes, I heard that part. But, um, one question..."

"Shoot."

"WHY? Do you have ANY idea how wrong that plan could go? And how exactly does joining the League's little crusade against Brainiac benefit us in any conceivable way? If anything it just paints an even bigger target on our backs."

"Jaysus, I've told you before! I'm bloody flah'ed out with all this runnin' away bollocks. I say we find a way to take the fight to those bastards for a change!"

"And you intend to use the League to do that? I'm not sure they'd appreciate being used like that."

"That's why we're gonna help them first. We scratch their back, they scratch ours. We may be runnin' from the Divil, but the Justice League ain't no pushovers, neither. So what do ya say? Let's make nice with the League and earn us a favor we can cash in later."

"That... is actually surprisingly well-thought-out. Fine, I agree... for now."


"Your the one who agreed with my plan in the end." Shay pointed out, reminding the demon that he did indeed agree to what they were currently doing, and so complaining about it now was a waste of time. It was too late to back out now.

"Just because I agreed with it doesn't mean I have to like it." the demon's voice retorted.

Sneaking past the Military wasn't as difficult as Shay initially thought it was going to be. Their security measures didn't exactly account for demonic stealth powers. Either that or they were too focused on watching Metropolis or paying more attention to the oddly Superman-like person that suddenly flew down into the camp at about that time. Holding his position and occasionally making his heart stop to maintain silence, Shay and (subsequently) Alastor watched from a fair business as the flying person basically beat Shay to his own plan and offered his assistance to the League. Although one of the apparent Leaguers gave the visitor more scrutiny than the others, even training one of her weapons on him in the event that he was looking to pick a fight.

"Um... Shay?"

We're a wee bit busy at the moment!

"And this takes priority! There's a man with divine powers here, Shay! You may want to duck out of here before he-"

Will you shut up for a minute? I'm tryin' to watch!
@VeeksI'm interested as well, but I feel the need to caution you about opening on a World Tournament. Speaking from experience, starting with a Tournament basically locks out any late comers from getting to do anything other than sit around watching the other players have all the fun. I've actually genuinely seen it happen in other games. Another aspect about Tournament arcs that isn't really fun to think about is that it will basically require all participates to be absolutely committed to posted, otherwise the game will grind to a painful halt whilst everyone waits for specific players to post. There's also the idea of waiting around for each paired up player to post back and forth until their fight is settled. Granted, this is a thing that will persist in ALL battles, but at least in non-Tournament settings the other players can still do other things while the fight is going on. At a Tournament... they're basically stuck in the audience unless they go out of their way to cause or find trouble (which can be a problem in and of itself).

I'm not necessarily voting against the idea of a Tournament arc altogether, but I am rather cautious about opening the whole RP on one.
Supes cures Cancer in AS Superman, your argument is invalid! <_<

No, but seriously, AS Superman is friggin awesome. The "World of Cardboard" speech is a very close second for me though.
