When he got back to the surface, Shiro wrapped the long strip of cloth around one of his hands before continuing on. Not much later, he was walking out of the water and onto the shore.

Shiro stripped off his two shirts as he walked across the beach, setting them and his scarf on a large rock to dry before laying on it himself. He closed his eyes and slept for a moment. As he slept, the sun dried his clothing.

Shiro woke up about an hour later, clothing dry as a bone and himself parched. I need to go get a drink. he thought as he put his clothing back on. He then began walking once more, though he didn't really know where he was going.

The cloud tore across the seas at top speed, having escaped the confines of the city rather quickly, its owner hanging on as though his life depended on it. And it really kinda did...well, the chance of him being killed if he fell off the cloud was great, but he just really didn't want to do a speeding belly flop, but then again, who did?

/My spine'd probably snap and I'd have horrible stomach pains for the rest of my life.../ Couric believed, just imagining that sent a shiver down his spine.
/Definitely something I don't want..../ His fingers dug even deeper into the cloud's fluff, strengthening his grip as the nimbus did a loop and then continued on any random path it had decided on.

Little did Couric know, the cloud was slowly approaching a place where one of its brethren had once resided; a small island in the middle of the ocean with a pink house with a red roof in the center of the small chunk of land. Little did the Saiyan know the shit that was about to be stirred by his arrival on such a place...but then again, how could he?

Marka began swimming back towards Papaya Island. The tournament was set to begin soon and the android certainly did not want to miss the dead line. He accelerated forwards. Marka was faster now than he had been a few days before. All the walking around the huge continent had increased Marka's strength greatly.

Thoughts raced through Marka's mind. The tournament, the world martial arts tournament. The android ached in excitement. He had certainly fought before but he had never proven his strength at a tournament. Marka began swimming so fast waves sprouted up on either side of him. Marka was quite literally slicing a gash in the ocean as he swam.

Papaya Island was finally in view. Marka was ecstatic. He races forwards toward the island and came to a stop once on shore. He gazed around, the populace of the planet certainly had increased a great deal since he was last here. Probably due to their being a surge of popularity from the upcoming tournament.

Tereya walked to the edge of a lake, looking around for trouble as he did so. When at last he couldn't see anything or anyone, he removed his shirt and pants, both a little bit worn out, but still fully intact. Now, he had on a pair of boxer shorts and a wife beater.

Tereya stretched out a little bit, and grimaced in spite of him self, due to the great pain that he still was in.
"Guess I ran myself too hard..." he said to himself, as he slowly let himself sink into the lake's depths. He fell in, up to his shoulders, he could feel the cool sand of the lake's bottom on his feet.

The cool water soothed his wounds, and cleaned the blood out of his cuts and off of his body. His energy was coming back slowly, and Tereya could only hope that he would be better soon enough, so that he could continue his training, and become stronger than before, so he could rechallenge that guy.

When quite a few minutes had passed, and his wounds were all sufficiently cleansed, Tereya lifted himself gingerly out of the water. He layed on the warm grass, and allowed the sun to naturally dry him and his clothes, so he didn't have to bother with it himself. This, he thought, was the efficient way.

Shiro's nimbus zoomed over the ocean separating The mainland from Papaya Island, leaving a large wake in its... wake. Shiro was on top, struggling to keep a hold on the incredibly fast yellow cloud. He was a pale green color at this point. Who knew I'd get air sick so easily.

It took only a few minutes before Shiro could see the Island, which he was quickly approaching. "Alright, Nimbus. Slow down for landing." The Nimbus began to slow, until it stopped just on the shore of the island.

When enough time had passed and he was dry, he placed his clothes in the water, and began to wash the vigorously.
Vigorously enough, so that, he hoped all the blood and dirt would be removed from the clothing.
While he was cleaning, he couldn't help but think of the warrior who had bested him, and wondering if his activation had been for nothing.

When he had spent many minutes washing the clothes, putting all of his energy into them, they had finally come clean, all the blood, sweat and grime was now gone!
He took them out of the water and set them carefully in the sun, allowing it's natural heat to dry them, although not too quickly, but still fast enough for him.

They dried twenty minutes later.
Tereya put them on slowly, as to not wrinkle them or disturb his cuts and bruises, after about a few minutes they were on.
He then decided that he would need to get in some extra training, so that he would last for the tournement. So he left the lake side, and headed into Hercule City.

Gozu flies over some ocean he doesn't know the name of it but whatever ocean is around Papaya Island. Gozu drops down and skims the ocean with his nimbus. It looks like he is surfing on a cloud before rocketing up and away.

Shiro flies across the surface of the ocean, the nimbus' speed once more leaving a large wake behind. As he approaches Papaya Island, he turns south and rises up, to look for the island Master Roshi lives on.

1.)
Flying low over the surface of a large lake, Ava sits atop her Nimbus, enjoying herself as it speeds across the surface of the water.
"Wow! This is really great! I love this Nimbus! I can get around so much easier now... Hmm.... Maybe there are some of those Red Snapper fish here that Master Korin likes so much.... He did say he would give me something very useful if I brought him one..."

2.)
Zooming across the lake's surface, Ava looks around....
"Hmm.... I'm guessing they're more likely to be in the deeper areas... Come on Nimbus! Let's head to the center!"

3.)
"Let's go a bit lower Nimbus... Right on the water's surface... So I can get a better look..."
Going down as she asks, Ava would now be closer, looking down to see a calamity of aquatic life scattering from her flying over top them..

4.)
"Hmm.... None of these look like a Red Snapper.... In fact, none of these fish are even red...."
Ava sighs at that, now laid on her stomach as see conttnues to look for a Red Snapper...

5.)
Ava suddenly springs to her hands and knees....
"Look! There it is Nimbus! That has to be it! It sticks out like a sore thumb! Over there! To the right!"
Nimbus makes a hard right now, chasing after the Red Snapper....

6.)
Ava lays back down on her belly, reaching out with her to hands as they close in on the Red Snapper...
"Haha! This is fun! Come Nimbus! Faster! He's a fast one!"
Nimbus begins to pick up speed, closing in on the Red Snapper. It was fast indeed, able to out swim something flying in the air... But Nimbus was closing in fast....

7.)
Now within arm reach, Ava reaches out and manages to grab hold of it's tail....
"Haha! I got it, Nimbus! W-Whoa!! Oh no...."
The Red Snapper manages to wriggle free of Ava's grasp, and makes a sharp left turn, doing it's best to get away....

8.)
"Hurry Nimbus! After it!"
Nimbus turns left hard, which makes Ava grasp on tight, wrapping her arms around Nimbus so she wouldn't fall off....
"Whoa.... That was close.... Don't want to fall in water with this weighted jacket on.... I'm not much of a swimmer either...."

9.)
Now steady once again, Ava reaches back out, drawing closer and closer....
"Almost.....! Almost....! Just a little more, Nimbus! And we got him! I won't let him get away this time!"

10.)
Now within range again, Ava reaches down.... And....
"Yes!! I got him! Pull up, Nimbus!!"
At that, Nimbus begins to soar into the air, and Ava makes sure to keep a good grip on the Red Snapper. Now high in the air, she hold the fish by the tail with both hands...
"Alright! We got it, Nimbus! Master Korin will be very happy. Let's go to the tower, Nimbus!"
And with that, Nimbus rockets off, heading back to the tower....
