Video: Training partners wanted

How many of you here in this city know how to fight? I'm going to get rusty at this rate. Anyone who has a bone structure so weak that they can't withstand the pressure of the ocean outside unaided need not apply. I'd prefer those that know how to use their ki, but any physical fighter will do. If your weapon does all your fighting for you, don't bother. I want someone with a strong body.

[Charging head on? A simple maneuver, though it was clever to tuck his body like that. She merely flaps her wings and flies straight up in the air, about ten feet. Once he reaches where she was previously, she dives down with her sharp horns aiming for his back.

~~Totally not trying to impale him, duh.~~]

[It would have surprised him significantly more to find her suddenly behind him. His opponent flying away slightly? THAT Vegeta can deal with.

The prince charges a nasty blast, sending it right towards her head before flying off to the side, trying to avoid those horns just in case she doesn't try to dodge and goes straight through the ball of energy.]

[She's saving her surprises for later, Vegeta. However, that blast causes her to stop. She inhales deeply, then let's out and holds a simple "laaaaaaaaaaa~" which lets loose a red shockwave, knocking the kai blast away while heading straight for Vegeta.]

[She... just deflected his ki with her voice. He looks bewildered for half a second before moving to meet her, reaching out to grab at her arms. The time for dodging is over as far as he's concerned.]

[Grabbing at her arms is a dangerous manvuer, especially with the flexibility of her tail. While she allows him to grab her wrists, she also manages to snag his as well. And now, her sharp and pointed tail is aiming straight for his shoulder.

[His shoulder is impaled. Usually that would send someone into shock, but after the initial gasp of pain...

Vegeta smiles. It's a deranged smile. The pain feels good, he's been after that since he came to this place. He can only hold onto one of her wrists now but he does so, drawing his ki up to his mouth with a dangerous glow.

Two could play at the voice game. He yells, sending his energy towards her in a rush. It will be difficult to stop it or dodge at this close range, but not entirely impossible.]

[If you think she's gonna run away or try to dodge, fuq dat shit, yo! She's opening her mouth as well and letting loose another "laaaa~" except this time the shockwave's black, and going to hurt a lot more than her last number. And probably damage her in the process at this range, but who the hell gives a shit about that.

The kai blast sends her spinning towards the ground, but she rights herself after a bit just before crashing. That Psycho Voice should have done a number on him at that range, so she goes to look over where Vegeta is...or was, depending on how things turned out.

[The voice sends tremors through his bones. He's never fought someone that could do anything like that before, so he goes crashing to the ground. Vegeta pulls himself to his feet, bleeding slightly. Most of his clothing is gone, and chances are that he's taken a lot more damage internally than what's showing on the outside.

And he's angry. He lets out a roar, unleashing everything he's got on Rhi'a and the surrounding area in a final flash.]

[OHSHIT OHSHIT OHSHIT OHSHIT, GIANT BLAST COMING FOR HER !EWFWFWE# WHAT DO

Block her face and still get hit by it, that's what do. Thankfully, she was out of the way of the main blast so she only took a decent some of damage and got flung into one of the non-working rides.

...wait, that still sounds painful.]

Ugggghhh...

[After a few minutes, she peels herself off the wall she was stuck to, and flies over to Vegeta...though she ends up walking half the way, her wings her hurt pretty badly. Might as well check to see if he's still conscious.]

[Vegeta is completely unconscious in the rather large crater that he's made for himself. Most of his clothing has been blown to pieces, save for some very convenient parts of his pants remaining where it counts. He's also smiling in his sleep.

It turns out that losing doesn't completely upset him.]

[Oh hey look, he's out cold. Rhi'a is just gonna...poke him with her foot to double check if he's out or not.

...

...okay, no response. She'll just pick him and fly over to the coral...stopping every so often to rest because DAMMIT IT, HER BEAUTIFUL WINGS ;W;

Anyway, she finally reaches the corals and lay him down, moving his hand to touch it before touching it herself. Then, she moves him out of the way and sings a healing song, which should recover both their injuries fully...or close enough to it.

He should wake up soon enough feeling fine.]

Vegeta? Vegeta? You can wake up now.

[Just gonna...kneel down and poke poke at his ribs :D]

[He would be angry about the indignity of being poked by her foot if he was awake, dammit!

But he's not. He's not even close to conscious until she pokes him. He looks up at her with slight confusion before remembering what had just happened.]

Heh. That was... interesting.

[She just smiles and overs him a hand to help him up.]

Indeed it was. It's been a long time since I had a fight like that.

You were a very worthy opponent.

[He could tell how experienced she was when they fought, so he shakes his head as he stands.]

I have gotten out of practice.

[It had been so hard to fight her and not just lose it with as pent up as he was. He felt a lot better now, though.]

[She continues to smile, clearly the rush had put her in a good mood.]

You weren't that out of practice. I thought you did very well~

[However...she then looked a bit more serious.]

At any rate, I have a request. I don't mind you fighting with people, but please do not harm anyone unless they agree to a fight. You harmed a friend of mine a little while ago, his name is Sola.

While I hold no ill will to you, my friends mean a lot to me.

[A pause, and then a shrug.]

And I suppose that includes you too, if you wish to be friends.

[...what the fuck? No seriously, what is she on about? Friends?]

If you mean that pointy-eared kid, I've been bothered about him enough already! The brat pulled his sword on me, he deserved what he got. I'm not going to not fight back just because someone is a weakling. Drawing a weapon is consent for a fight.

He did what.

[This is Rhi'a

This is Rhi'a PISSED because she was uninformed]

That was a tidbit which was conveniently left out of the story, it seems. I'll have to rectify that.

My apologizes then, I was unaware that he pulled out a sword on you.

[Vegeta shrugs, then smirks.]

He'll have trouble doing that again. I broke his sword arm.

[He sounds entirely too gleeful about that...]

[Oh Vegeta, you sadistic bastard]

Well, at least you stopped there. Regardless, it won't happen again.

[Was that to you or to him? Doesn't matter, it's not a question. It's an order.]

So. You must have been surprised, since you didn't think I was very strong originally.

What is that thing that you do with your voice?

[He's leaning forward to study her curiously, staring at her mouth like he'll be able to figure out its secrets if he just looks at it.]

Well, the first one is called Dragon Voice, while the final one was called Psycho voice.

They're magic skills that my kin possess.

"Magic"?

[He scoffs, standing straight again and folding his arms.]

If the explanation is difficult, just say so. Don't call it "magic".

[...

...

...]

...you're kidding, right?

Kidding? Hardly. Magic is a word for things that aren't yet understood, things that don't have a scientific explanation behind them yet.

Maybe for things in your world, but in my world, magic is a special type of force that can be used by ferals like myself and even humans. It's a trait that's in our blood, often called blood skills.
