6 I Bought IT!

As Grandmaster Long acted as my personal tour guide he showed me every inch of Dragon Corp. Headquarters which was based around three large skyscrapers which each filled a specialization.

The main one we landed on was the corporate building were all of Dragon Corp was run from the top floor being the CEOs huge penthouse office and the floor beneath it the Executive Boardroom.

The other two skyscrapers were respectively top-secret research labs on the left and Agent HQ on the right were housing, training, recreation, spas, armory, hospital as well as various other benefits were provided for the hundreds of thousands of agents signed with Dragon Corp.

The towers also had their own specific names which had been decided by Grandmaster Long. The main corporate skyscraper was called Zeno Tower the research Skyscraper was Bulma Tower and the agents skyscraper was Goku Tower.

After showing me the rest of Zeno Towers various facilitieswe came to the culmination of are Zeno Tower tour, the Executives Lounge. We then headed across one of the 3 skywalks heading towards Bulma Tower. Although a lot of the labs were filled with top-secret government projects I didn't have the proper clearance level to see there was still several Dragon Corp. private top-secret projects I could see which Grandmaster Long who had the proper clearance level said was a real time saver since most of the governments projects weren't that interesting.

Although Grandmaster Long lead me from lab to lab showing me various brilliant inventions in many different fields of study the most shocking project was the C-Project which was a top-secret project Grandmaster Long was personally funding to create surprisingly enough Dragon Balls iconic "Capsules" that to my utter astonishment was actually nearing completion.

As I gazed upon prototype C-736 (which was a 7 inch long black cylinder with C-736 in bright yellow printed on the side and only a button on one end) in disbelief I watched breathlessly as a scientist pressed the button before tossing it into a sealed reinforced lab before quickly shutting the door. Bouncing a few time it suddenly went POFF as it burst into a cloud of black smoke which quickly dissipated revealing a slick Dragon Corp. rice cooker.

Unfortunately a few minutes later the rice cooker started to shake before groaning finally culminating in a violent explosion causing pieces of rice cooker shrapnel everywhere. It seemed they were still have trouble with materialization atomic stability.

Still I voiced aloud my amazement as I complimented the various researchers generously for their world-changing accomplishment. The rest of the tour of Bulma Tower was a blur as I was still captivated by the C-Projects capsule research, my mind momentarily overflowing with various ideas.

Once he'd finished showing me the rest of Bulma Tower Grandmaster Long proceeded to head towards Goku Tower which he confided with me was not only his favorite building but was filled with a lot of his personal idea's.

As we enter from the main public entrance I saw various huge recruitment ads playing on the exterior of the building which apparently was not only a wall but a display device as well. Entering the lobby we were greeted by several young ladies dressed in Dragon Corp.'s popular Corporate Agent uniform which was a slick black jacket with a golden Dragon Corp. logo (which was basically the letters D.C. surrounded by a coiling golden Shenron coming out of a pile of 7 glowing golden Dragon Ball's underneath) on top of a formfitting black Gi with a golden obi-style belt with the same logo on the back and a pair of Dragon Corp. specially designed matching black combat sneakers.

On the front of both the jacket and Gi was the agents name and a 2d golden dragon ball, prominently displaying the rank of the agent. Incidentally these lovely young greeters were all surprisingly 3 star Corporate Agents who were filing one of the mandatory jobs stipulated in their contract with Dragon Corp.

Waving warmly towards the young ladies Grandmaster Long flashed them a winsome grin as we passed them followed by saying a few greetings to the ladies at the front desk before we continued onward to Grandmaster Longs private elevator. Riding the luxurious high-speed elevator Grandmaster Long would make random stops as he showed his favorite floors to me one by one. The most outstanding floors from are tour was the ones dedicated to training which were designed to simulate every possible situation an agent might face.

The dojo however stood quite out with the rows upon rows of hundreds of men and women wearing the familiar Long School of Martial Arts orange and blue Dragon Ball rip-off Uniform loudly practicing their combat forms. This was only one of the many things I had shockingly discovered Grandmaster Long had seemingly taken from his beloved dragon ball series.

Out of great curiosity after seeing countless references to Dragon Ball I asked Grandmaster Long how Dragon Corp. could have so many things from the Dragon Ball series incorporated into it without getting sued by the series creator.

Turning towards me with a solemn expression Grandmaster Longs grim facade suddenly cracked as a toothy grin appeared on his face while he happily cackled aloud, "I bought IT!" gloatingly informing me that the first thing he did with his portion of the companies vast wealth was to buy the series from the original series creator as well as any and all rights associated with the series already sold by him for a hefty sum, and had also gone so far as to buy the entire company the series creator was signed with.

Finally to seal the deal and show his sincerity he also gave him a brand new private villa so he could work in peace and continue to produce more of his favorite series. Damn, I had to respect Grandmaster Long, for he truly had gone all out showing how much of a hardcore Dragon Ball fan he was.
