In the Hall of mirrors(Chap. 1)

Sparkling fireworks and lights hanging on banisters danced around along with sound of much chatter and playing on the drums and strumming of an acoustic guitar rang throughout Orange Star City. People jumped into the air and shouted with joy. Deep bellied laughter and toasts came from people enjoying themselves with alcoholic beverages like wine and bourbon. Many drunkards staggered around and fell to the ground after vomiting. Even though it was a horrible sight to see, everyone was still joyous. Orange Star City was celebrating their one year anniversary of peace. No one had come to the city to destroy it or anything, just peace.

The mayor of the city was in his dressing room fixing his suit and clearing his throat. His heart pounded against his chest for he was nervous; even though his face didn't show it. He started to fool around with his tie and fit it on correctly. The human then grabbed the edges of his suit jacket and began to jerk them down to reduce the wrinkling in his shoulder area. Once this was done he extended his right hand to a wooden dresser in which he found his comb on. The mayor picked up the grooming object and began to smooth his hair back to make it look very decent for his speech to the citizens of Orange Star City. The human then put his hands in his jacket pocket and pulled his spectacles out. A soft, yellow hanker chief avoided any damage to the small glasses.

The florescent lights shone in his eyes and caused a glare from his spectacles. The mayor was used to this lighting and tried to see past the glare. But it caused him to squint.

"I should've gotten the covers for the florecent lighting," The man spoke.

His salt and pepper colored mustache bounced as he talked to himself. He then grabbed his suit and started tugging it forwards. The mayor was nearly ready for the speech he was about to make.

Ritzusen sat with a group of his friends at a wooden table just in front of the stage. This is where the mayor would give his speech to the large crowd outside. The saiyan didn't mind paying 100 zeni to get up close to the stage for he liked the politician and his morals and values.

His friends held up glasses of champagne infused with a little bit of vodka. They all clacked cups in toast to the period of peace in Orange Star City. Some of the beverage spilled out as one cup collided against the other. They then drank the cup of champagne and started to cheer.

Ritzusen drank his glass once the others had finished their toast. He then tossed the glass cup into the air and watched as it hit the ground and shattered to pieces. The saiyan then turned his body to the stage and awaited the mayor to come out.

The crowd awaited his arrival for the speech that would tell the world of their peace period.

The mayor took in a deep breath and brought both of his arms up to move the curtain from his face. He then walked out of his dressing room and out to the stage. He then held up a v for victory sign and waved it at the crowd. They erupted in cheers for the mayor.

Tonight, he would reveal his name to the crowd so they would not have to call him "The Mayor of Orange Star City." The man grabbed the mic and then put it to his furry lips.

"Good evening citizens of Orange Star City," He spoke loudly, "I welcome you to our 1 year anniversary of peace!"

The mayor lifted his arms into the air and started to scan the area.

"2 years ago, we suffered a tragic event. An event where many of our great citizens were killed by brutes that came to destroy us. But we finally defeated them after a few months of regrouping and recovering. But we persevered. We stood tall and ever since they were defeated, no one has tried to destroy us again. So tonight, enjoy yourselves because this may be our last day of peace. I am your mayor, Rick Daily' and I declare this day, Orange Star City day!"

The crowd let out an ear-splitting volley of cheers which rang for miles down the streets of the city. Today was a great day for everyone.

The crowd erupted in a frenzy of cries and cheers. Today was their day to shine from all of the rest. There were many people staggering and jumping around tables and wrecking them. Most of the people were usually more civilized than they were acting at the moment.

Four paths of pyro shot from behind Rickey and formed an x shape. Rock music began to play from three loud speakers placed just off the edges of the stages. Many people held up the "rock on" sign and began to bang their heads in the air or on objects. Many of them staggered a few inches and fell to the pavement like a lazy bum.

More and more cups were being banged together for more people wanted to take another toast to Orange Star City with their alcohol. The glasses clinked through the party area and began to echo. Men and women alike were acting crazy for they were drunk and began to change into a whole different person than when they were sober.

Ritzusen was the only one at his table not drinking. he had only had one glass and decided that it was enough. he had experienced the hangover and the pains that came along with it. The Saiyan soon heard a beep. It was his scouter that he placed on his face just in case an idiot tries to start trouble. This reading was different than the ones he had seen before. It was darker than the others. it was like a whole bunch of dark energy was being bundled up into one creature.

The Saiyan turned his head to the right where his arrow was pointing and looked back. A black shadow was standing just over an electric fence. It's head seemed to be white while the rest of its body blended into the shadows. Ritzusen turned the rest of his body to meet his head and watched the creature. The red jump-suited warrior then lifted his bottom off of the bench and crouched down. He tiptoed his way over the monster and tried not to alert anyone by running for it may break the period of peace and cause him great troubles.

As Ritzusen got closer, he could make out more features like a jagged mouth and two horns from each side of his head, There was also an evil grin on his face. What was this creature?
