The glittering, bright city of Lux hosted a population well into the millions. Konatsians labored here, as did members of various species from around the galaxy. Saiyans, Herans, Earthlings, Fauxbians, and uncounted other races worked, lived, died, suffered, and partied in and around the buildings that rivaled mountains in height. By sheer numbers, one was guaranteed to find people with any particular set of skills. Computer engineering, spacecraft design, artisanal ice-cream making, and professional fighting.

In a small club situated in a grand skyscraper that thankfully had a glorfing chamber, glorf being a type of expelled waste that few species around the galaxy produced, a pair of Egges (who did have to glorf on occasion) sat in a private room. They'd posted ads around the planet's local networks, searching for fighters that would be willing to take on the Unbreakable Mister Steel in an exhibition match, scheduled to be broadcast live across the galaxy. Earthlings and Konatsians would get to see the fight free and without advertising blocks... but all over the galaxy, advertisers selling tourism packages or Konatsian-related products would get their merchandise jammed down the throats of the consumers. Unless viewers were willing to spring for Pay-Per-View packages that would let them skip out on the ads.

The possible revenue streams were boggling, and a cheap buzzword campaign on social media with some bot-based attention on Steel's streams and videos were sure to get plenty of people paying and watching. HumDee and DumDee, his new talent agents, just needed someone suitable for Steel's caliber of power.

"Next!"

"But I'm a pro, I can give ya a great show!"

"With a power level of 400?"

"You gotta have jelly-for-brains for us to put you in with Steel."

"SO NEXT!"

HumDee rubbed between his beady eyes with his fingers, while DumDee adjusted the fancy suit he was wearing. The strange, jelly-like alien oozed out of the private room, sniffling and trying not to weep at the open racism he'd just experienced.

"Ugh, we shoulda put in a minimum Power Level on the ads."

"Yes, yes we should've."

"Oh damn, I'm starting to TALK like the hairy bastard. I need to zone out more when he starts lecturing on the dialectic and political demonstrations."

"Or when he blabbers on about workout routines. Ugh."

HumDee and DumDee are taking auditions and portfolios from audacious and powerful fighters!  Come one, come all!

For once, at least for a short time, Ticoga had chosen to do something that he had never allowed himself to do. Relax. His mission to uncover the Red Dawn Pirates was making considerable headway in recent days. He had even managed to ingratiate himself with not one, but two members of the Arcosian Triumvirate. And what he learned from them so far had been quite something.

However, interacting with so many new beings had revealed to Ticoga that perhaps he was not allowing himself to recharge. Stepping away from his mission for just a short while would not likely ultimately hinder his search. If everything was going well, the pirates were as of yet not aware of his hunting them. The ultimate question posed to Ticoga so far had been an expected one: what would he do once he had them and their leaders in front of him?

Well, the answer was simple. He was going to slaughter them. All of them. There would be no recovery for their heinous organization, and a proper warning would be sent to the rest of the galaxy's underbelly - the Arcosian Empire was not to be trifled with. But that thought is brushed aside - he was supposed to be trying to relax, not worry about his mission.

That is when a flyer catches the Arcosian's attention. It appeared to be an advertisement for a localized combat? It had a gladiatorial sense to it, but there was no mention of death in the advertisement. It could be an opportune situation to further grow his martial prowess. A chance for personal growth was always worth the effort. Additionally, it was to be made a public viewing across the galaxy. This could be just as much a chance to represent the Empire as much as train himself. He follows the directions provided, until he comes upon a tower. Ticoga takes the interior elevator, after having presented the flyer to a security guard, up to the small club.

Upon entry, he is passed by a number of disappointed beings, even a rather distressed slime creature. Shrugging to himself, Ticoga moves into the room, following the flow of foot traffic until he comes upon a pair of creatures that seemed to be evaluating the fighters applying for the exhibition match. At first, Ticoga stands unseen in the shadows, content to let others pass by until he was sure of being in the right place.

Satisfied that he is, Ticoga steps forward into the light. His dark blue biogems and deep crimson skin make for a eye catching draw, and the four horns adorning his head boast the look of a fierce creature. His battle jacket, clean and gleaming under the light, matches well. His long tail flicks side to side, and his crimson eyes settle of the two interviewers.

"Greetings and good evening, gentlebeings." Ticoga says by way of introduction. "I am interested in this exhibition match with this fighter. I would like to assess his claim of, Unbreaking."

Ticoga sets the flyer down politely.

"I am Ticoga, of the Arcosian Triumvirate Empire." he tells them.

For a moment, neither HumDee or DumDee looked at Ticoga when he stepped into the light. They were far too caught up in some sort of... tangent that their conversation had spun into during the moments between the last fighter's rejection and Ticoga's appearance.

"I'm telling you, the bakery downstairs has the best ooba nut bread in the galaxy!"

"I get that, but you are forgetting that the carbs will make us have to glorf super-hard, later. And the glorf will get all pink and chunky..."

"Eugh... HumDee, brother, Mama gave you manners."

"What?! It's a natural part of our daily lives! I don't get this whole taboo against mentioning glorf, anyways! The rest of the galaxy talks about having to use the can all the time! And then there's the problem with not mentioning glorfing in any of our media... Aliens. Don't Know. We need. To glorf! And then-"

HumDee's rant about glorfing was cut off by Ticoga's entrance, and both he and DumDee found themselves mesmerized by the battle jacket... the armor... the color scheme... DumDee grabbed the pair's scouter and put it over his eyes while HumDee stared. It was hard to tell, since his and his brother's mouths were obscured somehow, but his eyes crinkled like he was smiling.

"Well hello, Ticoga! And aren't you a sight for sore eyes! I was starting to think all of the decent fighters in Lux had left!"

DumDee pressed the activation button for the scouter, and read Ticoga's power level aloud.

"24,200 standard units. Not bad... but still half of Steel's uh... "base" power."

"True, but Arcosians like this fella can all transform... And each form is stronger than the last! Which means he's got room to grow!"

"Yeah, true... Say, Ticoga, fella. You mind transforming for us? Showing us what each form's power level is and what each can do?"

"Yeah, yeah. Give us a... demonstration. We want to make sure you can give our boy Steel a good fight, you dig?"

Truth be told, HumDee and DumDee were already planning out the fight and the merchandise and the intros in their heads... And they were already counting the money that they would be making when Steel stepped into the arena and gave the galaxy a hell of a show.

But they didn't tell Ticoga that, they wanted him to believe he had to prove himself. Maybe he would take a lower rate on the contract if he thought he was lucky to be considered at all...

Ticoga had chosen to ignore the conversation leading to the pair realizing that he stepped forward. It was their conversation, and loud though they may have been, it would be poor etiquette to comment on the subject. The two beings that, admittedly Ticoga could not recall their species from memory, cut off their conversation and give him a rather warm welcome.

It was a good first impression of what appeared to be the advertisers for the event. Intending to give an equally good first impression, Ticoga bows his head respectfully before responding to their inquiries.

"You both appear to be well informed of my people's capabilities. I am impressed, but perhaps I should not be. It may be my people's power has become well known by this point." Ticoga replies, smiling friendlily. He straightens his posture. "However, I must decline transforming to make a point. Arcosian transformations are not powering up - they are releashing restraints on our own power. Unlike most beings that transform, my people transform to lower our battle power. Otherwise, there are complications for those who cannot properly control it."

Ticoga gives them a serious look.

"That said, releasing our power during transformations can be violent. Were I to transform here, it would destroy a large swath of this building, and most certainly destroy this level of the building." Ticoga warns them. "Suffice to say that this is my most restricted form. My second form doubles my power. My third form quadruples my power. My True form, is six times the power of this form."

Ticoga shakes his head.

"It would be far too dangerous, and incredibly irresponsible of me to transform in this location." he tells them carefully. "Unless there is a location where I can transform safely, I will have to ask that you take my word on the power I wield. After all, I wish to represent the Triumvirate Empire in a positive light - to show that we are not all stuffy, stuck up sticklers and no nonsense business beings. Some of us do indeed known how to have fun."

The only thing Ticoga leaves out, is that he intends to use the competition to further train his body. And a fighter like Mr. Steel, if he was as strong as these two were suggesting, would make an excellent sparring partner to that end.

"I hope that my words are not offensive." Ticoga says, bowing his head once again, this time to show his apology to be true.

DumDee reached for a nearby pad of paper, and a pen, to run some quick math regarding Ticoga's total power while he rattled off the power of each transformation. After writing down each multiplier, and the total that they would add

First form PL - 24,200

Second form x2 - 48,400

Third form x4 - 96,800

Fourth form x6 - 145,200

He showed the list to HumDee, and the two little green men gave each other a knowing nod... which required just about the whole of both of their bodies to rock back forth a little bit in their chairs. They then turned back to Ticoga, having apparently heard all of what he said, even as they silently conferred with each other.

"Why would we be offended?"

"If anything, you insulted your own people, there."

HumDee then reached underneath the table that he was sitting at, and rummaged through... what was presumably a drawer. Out of it, he pulled a clipboard, which he flipped around and set on the table in front of him. It was a contract, one that consisted of about ten pages of legalese and information about payment and merchandising, as well as a safety waiver.

"Look, normally, we'd ask for a demo... But you're an Arcosian, and a real damn visually striking one at that. So, tell ya what. You sign this contract right now..."

HumDee tapped the clipboard and the paper on it with a single finger.

"And we won't even look at anyone else. You'll get a scheduled fight, televised audience, and whole lot of Zeni, Lux Bux, Arcosian Imperial Credits, whatever kind of currency you want! But you've got to sign now, because we've got lots of other fighters lined up outside, as I'm sure you saw..."

Ticoga smiles friendlily at the reaction of the two beings at his mannerisms. Was it so strange, indeed, that so many seemed to be often mollified? When a contract is produced, Ticoga reaches out to receive it. Rather than signing right away, Ticoga chooses to actually read the ten page legal agreement.

There were aspects to the contract that were, in all honesty, completely irrelevant to Ticoga. Merchandising rights likely referred to reproduction of toys of his opponent - and possibly of Ticoga. The prospect of such a thing makes Ticoga smile, but he has no interest in the process that allows him to collect from sales. Being able to represent the Empire was payment enough, in all truth.

Payment for participation was something he would accept of course - in some cultures, he knew, not accepting payment for participation bred suspicion and upward turned noses. When he got to the safety waiver, Ticoga had no problems with the wording. It was a combat event; naturally someone could, and would, get hurt. He just chooses to assume that killing was not permitted - they likely wanted to repeat this kind of event again in the future.

Ticoga picks up a pen, and signs his name in the Arcosian lettering system first, and then again in the Galactic Common system. He hands the contract back with a pleasant grin.

"If I may ask - why not take the opportunity to conduct smaller skirmishes between those not scheduled to face your champion?" Ticoga inquires. "I believe the Earth has, or had, a sport where there were multiple minor conflicts, and ended on the Main Event, so to speak. Would that not generate more income for your event?"

The ink that Ticoga had used to sign his name hadn't even properly dried when HumDee yanked the clipboard and contract away, as if to prevent the Arcosian from changing his mind. While he did this, DumDee... started writing something up on his notepad. It appeared to be some sort of rough bookkeeping exercise, as numbers were listed with plus and minus signs and the symbol for the Zeni.

He did not explain any of what he was writing down. HumDee, however, did at least give some sort of answer to Ticoga's question...

"I'm sure Earth had something like that, yeah. But we're just looking for the main event because it's going to cost us a lot of Zeni to rent out Sol Stadium, reinforce it, get the toys and t-shirts made, and set up intergalactic broadcast equipment in a colisseum that doesn't have a single power outlet."

"And then there's time."

"That too, we'd need a lot more time to set up smaller fights between other people. And we'd have to pay for more broadcast time for the minor fights, or hope they don't spill over into the live broadcast if we don't do that."

"And we'd have to pay or compensate the other fighters."

"Yeah, that too."

Ticoga frowns as the clipboard is snatched out of his hand, quite rudely at that. However, he lets it go - there was no use getting bothered by such a meager thing. He considers their replies, and shrugs.

"I suppose that much is understandable." he replies evenly. "I am admittedly a bit disappointed that I seem to not be able to meet this Mister Steel before the match. But I understand that he must be busy. If there is nothing else, I will be on my way."

Ticoga pulls a small chip from his scouter, and hands it over, and straightens his posture to military perfection.

"I can be contacted directly when this drive is attached to any compatible communications device." Ticoga explains. "You made mention of the Sol Stadium - I do not believe I have heard of it. Is this place located here on Konats, or is this event to take place on another planet altogether?"

It would be important to know, after all. If it was a world that is unfriendly to the Arcosian Empire, then he would likely have to withdraw - he did not, after all, have permission to serve in a diplomatic role. Ticoga gazes at the two egg-shaped beings, waiting expectantly for their answer.

As HumDee took the little data drive with one hand, DumDee tossed a similar device Ticoga's way. However, this drive didn't have a comm frequency de-scrambler or a program for a secret contact... it had a map contained on it, or so the permanent marker scrawled on it with all the fine detail of scrimshaw said.

"Technically it's called "Sol Coliseum"..."

"Yeah, but "Sol Stadium" is alliterative."

"Either way, it's the big stone stadium in the middle of Vynh City."

"It's the only other town on this rock with a space-port, you can't miss it."

"It also has a pretty neat castle. Very good piece of architecture. A bit reminiscent of Earthling styles, though..."

"Yeah, so the big city in the middle of the desert with a giant round ring of rock and a big fort on a hill made of rock. We'll let you know as soon as we have the fight date schedule."

"Should be a month or two, from now."

HumDee and DumDee both did that odd thing where they smiled with just their eyes, since their mouths were hidden somewhere behind their clothing. Also somehow, they managed to give off the smug, greedy glint in their eyes that was common to all high-ranking media executives that had view counts and revenue numbers rolling in their heads. Which was a bit odd, since HumDee and DumDee were both talent scouts or agents or some-such, not CEOs, not anymore.

Ticoga looks from one egg-shaped being to the other, looking slightly amused.

"Well, hopefully I will not be tied up in that time." Ticoga says to the pair. "Please, give this Mister Steel my regards, and let him know I look forward to a good, fun event. As much as this is an opportunity for you to improve on your client's reputation, this will be a good chance to represent the Empire in a good light on my part."

Ticoga accepts the device from the beings - it was not the same technology, but similar enough that Ticoga knew it could be adapted to work with his scouter. He sets the device away in his hip satchel, and offers a polite nod to the pair.

"Well then, if that is all, then I will be going. Please let me know if anything changes. Good evening." Ticoga says, turning away and heading out of the room. He steps back onto the elevator, and muses to himself when the doors close. "I don't want to disappoint their client, or their crowds. I should work on raising my battle power - it wouldn't look good for the Empire if a representative performed poorly."

With that thought in mind, Ticoga steps off the elevator when it reaches the ground floor, and heads off with thoughts of how best to represent his people...
