(Gravity x30) Duel on Namek [Ozikai]

[Virion]

Virion had arrived on the planet Namek. Finding himself within a planetary atmosphere felt unnaturally stuffy compared to the thin vacuum of space. It was smothering, like being wrapped in a blanket. He'd almost call the atmosphere suffocating, if it weren't for the irony of such a backwards statement.

From the north he detecting a power level. It appeared to grow in intensity briefly, before fading back down. This continued a couple more times, it took Virion but a few moments to realise to was the sign of someone in combat. A namekian perhaps?

Virion approached stealthily. Could this be one of King Boliko's followers locked in a struggle with Suki's minions?... Surely not, it was too soon, and the power emissions only indicated a lone combatant... and yet...

Virion decided to investigate. At the very least it might help him determine if his suspicions were correct. As he flew there the power signature died down, fading rapidly before disappearing completely. Dead? Suppressed? There was only one way to find out.

When he landed he found some sort of chamber, but it appeared empty.

Tentatively he approached, if only he could find out who it was, all his questions might be answered in an instant... The darkness inside contrasted heavily with the brightness outside, obscuring his view, but his exquisitely designed eyes soon pierced through the inky darkness like a lance, revealing a device at the centre of a circular room. His mind identified it as a gravity device, emitting what he detected to be a strong localised field. Definitely for training.
To late he also detected someone there, their power spiking once more as they returned to their training around the other side of the device, only to stop abruptly as they seemed to notice him.

A thousand thoughts rushed through his mind, it was too late to hide, they had surely seen him now. He considered running, teleporting away before anything could eventuate, but something stopped him...

[lander35]

Ozikai was training; it’s seemed that training was all he did these days. He was devolving a new technique to mask his power level; it would help sneak by enemies he did not want to fight. Right now anyone that sensed his power level would only get a reading of ten thousand or so. He was about to turn on the machine when he picked up on something. It was too low to be the kings however it was far too high to be taken lightly. Perhaps it was another fighter here to help Boliko in his fight against Touketsuki. Ozikai was going to be cautious and check it out.

He walked outside to have a look where the power was coming from. From what he could see there was no one else there… but he knew what he felt and someone or something was out here with Ozikai, he was not alone. “Is anyone here?” he couldn’t hear an answer so he decided to just leave it and get back to his raining. At the moment he didn’t need any distractions. He needed to continue his training for the world trade organisation. He feared that he was not strong enough to handle them, Boliko said that there may be more Vegetan soldiers coming but he couldn’t guarantee.

He went back into his gravity room and tried something easy. He turned the gravity chamber up to thirty five times gravity. He also had his weights on to add to the effect. Now that he had trained under forty five times gravity this seemed too easy for him. He started running around and doing acrobatics and flips. He turned and fired a Ki beam at the wall, under this gravity it was not weakened as Ozikai would have expected it to be and it was too powerful.

From outside the gravity chamber a large explosion could be heard and seen. Ozikai had damaged the walls surrounding his gravity chamber. He checked around and he noticed that the gravity was still on, however now that he was outside the gravity was weakened to thirty times. The device was still able to create gravity however it was only in the small radius of where the walls used to be. Ozikai was lying on the floor, he was breathing hard and trying to make it back onto his feet.

[Virion]

Virion nearly leaped out of his skin as the explosion cracked the gravity chamber walls. Anything but cool and collected, the bio-android had jolted in an entirely unceremonious display. Recovering his composure quickly, he slinked from his hastily acquired hiding place (a large bolder three paces to his left) and moved forward.

He could feel the tug of the gravity field leaking from the damaged chamber. It was quite strong, but the bio-android adjusted his reactions accordingly. From the quick glance he had gotten before he did not recognise the alien. Certainly not namekian, but equally not anyone he was familiar with.

"A new ally, perhaps?" asked Virion rhetorically in a sly manner, pulling his hand up at his side, the maw his his palm sliding open, his fingers curled, claw-like. The alien appeared to have been stunned by the blast, and Virion fully intended to move in during this moment of weakness and strike.

Once infected this fighter would be more than willing to oblige Virion and answer any questions he had.

He emerged as a shadow over this man, his head blocking the sun. From below it would appear almost as a radiant halo. The man was breathing heavily, but was already making ready to get up.

Quickly, Virion striked, his palm lashing down towards his victim.
All to easy...

((and quickly ozikai came to and dodged!))

[lander35]

Ozikai’s eyes snapped open and saw the hand coming down. He rolled out of the way from the claw and stood up. “So I take it as you’re not an ally.” “I don’t like people that try and attack me, especially while I’m down.” What was this guy doing and more importantly what this guy was?

Ozikai had just noticed that he was not Namekian; he was not even Human or Saiyan. He was a lot more… more… well he was unlike anything he had ever seen before. He was more of an insect like creature. So what did he want with Ozikai?

“Who the hell are you and what do you want?” Ozikai was ready to attack this guy buy he had to keep his anger down. He had to stay calm and he had to hold himself back. He was curious by this creature, why was he here and who was he? In fact what the hell was he?

While Ozikai was speaking he began to increase his power level up to the maximum with his weights and under the effect of gravity. If these creature was hostile and he or it could sense power levels then he wanted to intimidate it.

[Virion]

Accentuated by the heavy gravitational pull, Virion's palm crashed through the ground, missing his target narrowly, and catching the bio-android off guard.
“So I take it as you’re not an ally." came the aliens voice,
Moving his leg to brace himself, Virion tugged the arm free and turned, eyes gleaming as the alien continued.
"I don’t like people that try and attack me, especially while I’m down.”

Virion was barely even paying any attention to his words though.
"Lucky my friend, lucky" he tutted, his gruff voice oozing with a falsely friendly tone, as if childing an old companion over a game of cards.

"who the hell are you and what do you want?" came the reply, hostility hidden below the pearly veneer of calculated self-control. His power began to flow.

"Oh my how rude of me." Came the gravelly reply
"Why I want nothing more than to be friends ofcoarse! I assure you my actions have merely been misconstrued as hostile." Virion beheld the man mirthfully, the tone used for his lies almost condescendingly sweet
"Come, let us settle this little disagreement with a friendly hand shake" he concluded, offering the hand once more, Worm-like tubes extending from his forearm and swaying slightly from side to side.

He cackled, before withdrawing the offered limb when the alien did not move.
"No? Well you can't say I didn't try..."
Virion too charged his energy, still a twisted smile upon his features. It was not quite as powerful as this man's, but the alien did not know of Virion's bio-resonance capability. It would more than make up for the gap when the time came.

"Tell me, you speak of allies, are you here because of the message from Lord Koregutsu?"

[lander35]

"Oh my how rude of me." "Why I want nothing more than to be friends of course! I assure you my actions have merely been misconstrued as hostile" Really, so this creature was not hostile. Ozikai feared that this creature was dishonest.

But he did not know for sure and decided to play along with it. "Come; let us settle this little disagreement with a friendly hand shake" The alien extended his arm and went for a handshake. Ozikai didn’t even blink at this action. "No? Well you can't say I didn't try..." "Tell me, you speak of allies, are you here because of the message from Lord Koregutsu?"

Lord Koregutsu? So that was the reason why he was here. “Yes I am here to help Boliko Koregutsu in the battle against Touketsuki.” “So why is it that you are here?” Ozikai had told this creature why he was here now it was time for the creature to share. Why was this creature so talkative?

He didn’t care much and would rather get back to his training. He was going to have to eventually fix up his gravity chamber and that would take a lot of work. He really didn’t need any more distractions than he already had. This creature right now wasn’t helping.

[Virion]

"Oh, I'm just here for a little... fact checking"

Virion knew the smartest thing would be to flee now, escape with the information he had gained, not risk combat when any number of unknown elements could interfere, but in this man's baleful gaze there was an unspoken challenge, an impatient look as if accusing Virion of wasting his precious time. In that gaze Virion saw a warrior, and realised just how much he himself missed the thrill of true combat.

Virion began pacing forward, closing the gap.
"I'm allied with neither side in this conflicted, unattached if you will, you could even say... misplaced in space and time. I assume not being a saiyan that you may well have been the same, though you've foolishly chosen to take an allegiance for the coming battle"

He was now standing directly beside the blue-haired alien, facing the direction directly ahead of him rather than turning his head towards to man he spoke to.
"You're power is comparably adequate my friend, you must have trained hard..." the pseudo-compliment hung in the air, as Virions gaze slowly shifted. There was a moment of stillness.

In an instant Virion's tail whipped out, like a javelin, shattering the stillness which had hung over the scene, and replacing it with the frantic tension of danger and combat.

At the same time as his first strike, Virion also prepared his next attack, forming a ball of energy in his palm. In one fluid movement he continued the arc of his initial blow, turning on the heel of his foot and launching the ki blast towards his enemies predicted path of retreat. It was quite likely this would hit, though he held no delusion of it being an ultimately effective manoeuvre.

No, these were merely the opening moves, the preparations that must be met before the true dance could begin. Each fighter had probed their enemies power, now it was time to test their skills!


The fight was on.

[lander35]

"Oh, I'm just here for a little... fact checking" Fact checking? What could that mean? He must be here for information. "I'm allied with neither side in this conflicted, unattached if you will, you could even say... misplaced in space and time. I assume not being a saiyan that you may well have been the same, though you've foolishly chosen to take an allegiance for the coming battle" So here was not on any team, he was guessing that he would not likely join from his last statement. "You're power is comparably adequate my friend, you must have trained hard..." Ozikai was a little puzzled by this last comment. Was he complementing him?

Ozikai was about to respond to this but then an unexpected move was played. This creature whatever it was attacked. It lashed out its tail. Ozikai raised his arms up and blocked it form doing anything. Then the alien fired the Ki blast it had been charging it its palm. The Ki attack hit him in the chest and pushed him backwards. He slid across the ground slowly losing momentum until he stopped. “That was impressive, but I’m afraid that you are going to have to do a lot better than that.” Then Ozikai stooped holding back and attacked.

He flew at the alien, throwing his fist forward. He was aiming for this creature’s face while he began to prepare for his next attack. He then used his Ki burst to appear behind the alien. Then he grabbed his tail and threw him to the ground. Then he raised his foot and stomped on the alien’s chest.

[Virion]

The fist came flying at Virion, but he kinked his neck sideways and avoided the swipe. The man was fast though, anticipating his opponents reaction. He moved as a blur, appearing behind Virion and gasping his tail firmly.

The Bio-android didn't even have time to break free before the warrior was flinging Virion bodily in an soaring arc, which saw him smashed heavily into the ground, accelerated further by the gravitation forces which still radiated from the nearby device.

His foot came down, stomping at Virion's chest, but the artificial creature braced himself against the blow,
"Yes, that's it warrior, show me what you're made of..." He said while looking through narrowed eyes from his vantage point on the floor, bending his lower body upward to land a kick around the back of Ozikai's head.
The movement freed him, and Virion rolled to his stomach.

He crawled, insect-like across the ground, putting some distance between himself and his opponent.

He then twisted and sprang up from his crouched position, flying back in to meet his opponent in close combat; a left swipe coming from his closed fist, followed by another attempt at infecting this fighter with his open-palmed right hand. The move failed, so he followed up with four more swipes in quick succession, accelerating the power of the final one by utilising his bio-resonance.

A resounding crash would rip through the air if this last hit made it's mark, a testament to the strength levelled behind it.

[lander35]

Ozikai got this creature on the ground then stomped his chest. "Yes, that's it warrior, show me what you're made of..." Then the alien was able to get a kick on the back of his head. Ozikai lost his grip and the creature got out from under his foot. Then the alien got up and entered close combat. Ozikai raised his arms up and blocked the attacks. But then with the final blow he felt an immense power increase, this was too much for him and he couldn’t block it. He was pushed back and he fell over. “That was a good show but try this.”

Ozikai put his arms down to his side and began to use a transformation of his own. “A Namekian taught me this one.” Ozikai transformed into his Ki no Zoka form which now highly out classed this enemy. He quickly rushed him. Entered some close combat of his own. Throwing several rapid kicks then he jumped back to make some room between each other. “And now for a light show.” Ozikai placed both hands in front of him and charged Ki in between his hands. “Kamehameha!” A large blue pillar of Ki fired from out of his hands. He was not too far away and so this was little room to escape from the attack.

[Virion]

Virion reeled under the quickly delivered blows, the aliens power suddenly jumping to much greater levels than it had been before. Namekian indeed, seems this alien had learned some tricks, but Virion was not about to lose so easily.

He recovered his stride on the last blow, quickly bracing for another when the alien instead jumped back.
What are you up t- ? Virion began to wonder, but his question was answered all to soon:

"And now for a light show" the alien seemed a little smug at this. He placed his hands together, Virion's mind calculated at a million miles per hour. Judging from his pose and the energy mass Virion could sense forming, this could be one of several moves the bio-android knew of, each similar in power and execution.

A wicked smile snapped onto Virion's features. He flared his own transformation into full force, ready to receive the incoming attack:
"Kamehameha!"

Rather than charging a blast of his own, or attempting to flee, Virion did something strange - He began to laugh. A maniacal cachinnation which could even be heard over the noise of the energy beam.

With a colossal crack the energy collided with the bio-androids two outstretched hands. He slide across the ground, his three toed feet leaving deep marks as they for clawed purchase. Further and further he was pushed, and yet from the other side something could be seen happening. Ripples appeared to be flowing across the surface of the ball of Ki, rushing inwards to where Virion's hands pressed against it.

It began shrinking, weakening in power. Soon enough it had slowed to a crawl, and Virion could be seen containing the attack within his hands. Waves of energy were rushing up his arms, into his body. He was... absorbing it.

The attack disappeared entirely into Virions closing hands. He now stood some distance away, a sizzling his could be heard coming from his still smoking hands. His area had flared up enormously, rocks clawing their way out of the ground and up into the sky.

Virion was breathing heavily, His eyes ablaze. He took three shallow breaths, before his yell rung out over the plains. Energy flew out in all directions, the power in that blast proving too much to contain for long.

Small chuckles still escaped Virion's body at uneven intervals, though they had a strained, slightly unhinged quality.

The wind blew, the scene unnaturally quite compared to the intensity just moments before. Looking back over Virion thought he saw a slightly shocked expression on his opponents face, but if it was the alien regained his composure quickly.

"Tricky my friend, tricky..." He floated back over, closing the extended gap which had grown between them
"...But as you can see I have a few tricks of my own" He straighten his slumped form, the smoke still coming of his burned hands finally stopping. The flesh had begun to recover already thanks to his regeneration, but that had been an intense attack.

Virion braced himself in combat stance. The thrill of the fight was glorious! Both had proven to be accomplished warriors, but Virion was determined to show they he still had plenty of fight in him.

3... 2... 1...

Virion launched into a full-on attack, a barrage of ki blasts flying from his hands. Almost immediately after they impacted Virion had closed the gap completely, both fighters once more in close quaters. Punch, Kick, punch, Punch, a Tail strike and another KICK.

Both fighters swapped blows as the intense battle began once more.

[kadiesh]

Ozikai couldn’t believe what he just witnessed. Somehow when Ozikai had fired his Kamehameha wave the creature was able to block or more so absorb the incoming technique. So this alien had some tricks of his own. "Tricky my friend, tricky..." "...But as you can see I have a few tricks of my own" Then the alien unexpectedly went back into close combat. Ozikai was out of his transformation now and they were more or less even in power level terms. But Ozikai could still easily od his own against it.

They entered close combat, exchanging punches and kicks. Ozikai blocked the incoming attacks and prepared for his own attack. He jumped behind the alien, and then he grabbed his tail. Maybe this tail held some sort of weakness, just like Saiyan's. Even if it didnt Oziaki could still use this as a attacking point. he started to slid his feet across the ground, then he stared to spin. he kept going around and around until he felt he had enough speed. Then he let go and watched the alien fly.

(Sorry for the crap post, have no time to write anything good)

[Virion]

((ha, tail grab again. Well, Virion isn't the type to fall for the same trick twice, not in a row like that, so I better come up with some explanation ))

Virion had swung a right hook towards the warrior, but the man had dodged to the side, Virion's momentum causing him to roll forward with the strike. The alien was now at the four o'clock position, behind Virion's right shoulder. The Bio-android realised his vulnerability in such a placement and lashed out with his tail in that split-second moment.


The alien was ready though, locking down Virion's tail by squeezing it between his upper arm and his midaxillary line, part way down from his armpit, absorbing with merely a grunt the full force of Virion's blow straight to his ribs. His other arm came around, tightening the grip further.

He then braced himself, and began to spin Virion around, like a plumber might do to a turtle-dragon, in a videogame whose title may or may not involving the number 64.

"woughhhh..Oughhhhh..OUgghhhh..OOUUGHHH ..AAAAIIIGHHHHH!" Came the sound of Virion's voice, rising in pitch with each swing, before becoming a croaky-voiced squeal as the man released him to the wind. Virion soared though the air, the pitch of his cry shifted back down to a more natural octave the further out he flew, losing both it's volume and squeal-like quality rapidly, until it was once more his usual croak.

In a burst Virion stopped himself, floating upside-down in mid-air. Slowly he righted himself, from his point of view the world seeming to turn around him till once more the ground rested below his feet.

Turning to his left he saw an outcropping of rocks, a similar cluster of bolders on his right. A glint came into his eyes, as he drew both hands out towards these formations. Using his telekinestic powers, he pulled the rocks from the ground, brining them up to levitate around him.

Rushing through the air, back towards his opponent, Virion made to dive bomb Ozikai from his vantage point in the sky, swooping down like a bird. At the last moment he banked to the left, but the bounders, which had been trailing along behind him in a neat line, continued along this trajectory, like a missile cluster aimed directly at the fighter.

Though he did not want to admit, Virion was losing. His opponent was stronger than he was at this time, (especially after what he had done before leaving earth), there was no denying the fact. Virion had been able to take what was thrown at him, but it was obvious this warrior could dish out a lot more than what he had been giving. The way he had caught Virion's tail, taking the hit to his ribs with little more than a grunt of discomfort had proved that much. But Virion was feeling stubborn, his first conflict, on earth, had seen him robbed of victory due to his failing body. This time he had wanted to prove himself, to prove his form as capable, feel the sweet elation of sucess.

He was tired of only snatching small accomplishments, infecting small towns because the big ones were too risky, running from fights to avoid the potential consequences of defeat. He knew he should escape now, use the brief moment gained by his attack to vanish into the winds, but he refused, instead bracing himself for further combat.

I'm not beaten yet...

[lander35]

After Ozikai had used his tail swing attack the alien got an idea. He used his telekinetic power to move some rocks that had been moved while the attack was used. He dragged them along behind them. Then he used a dive bomb sort of attack on Ozikai. He didn’t even see the rocks behind him and they hit. He took a lot of damage from the falling rocks. He stood back up and looked at the alien.

He was clearly stronger than him and now it was time to prove his strength. He began to power up again to his rage form. This transformation should give him more than enough power to defeat this alien.

He quickly charged up his Kamehameha wave up to full strength. “Try and catch this one.” Then Ozikai threw his arms forward throwing out a larger beam than before. He aimed it directly for he alien and he put all his strength into it. If this attack hit then it would surely do a lot of damage to the alien, but would it be enough? What could he do if the alien somehow absorbed it again? He hoped that this time the beam would be too much for the alien to handle.

[Virion]

The rocks had hit their mark, and in an attempt to press his advantage Virion had moved in close, too close.
The blue-haired warriors power level sky-rocketed, Virion knew in an instant that this was the decisive turn in the battle he was waiting for, but it had definitely not swung in his favour.

He was momentarily stunned, the difference between them, it was insurmountable now... Not even his Bio-resonance could even the gap, not even if he had access to both halves of his current full power, not even if...

"Try and catch this one" Came his enemies dark voice, danger written in every syllable. It had taken the humanoid alien a fraction of a second to call forward an attack far in excess of the beam Virion had previously resisted. The insectoid creature stretched both hands forward, in a futile attempt to ward off the massive energy beam which had burst forward form the warriors own hands.

It blasted outward, bathing the area in an intensely bright light, it's radius larger that Virion's whole form. His arms were pushed from holding the blast infront of him to being forced out to his sides, the searing energy now pressed fully against Virion's chest, legs, face... his whole body under assault from the powerful beam, threatening to engulf him completely.

From the scene of the battle field the energy wave rushed off into the distance, carrying Virion off over the horizon. The bright light faded slowly, rocks and other debris falling back down to the ground in the aftermath of the attack's passing.

-----

His skin was peeling away from the flesh beneath it, the vaporous blood burning as it came into contact with the energy levelled at it. From outside the beam, if such a reality even existed anymore, the energy wave began to curve upwards, it's gradual arc leading Virion up further and further into the green coloured sky of the Namekian world. Soon the air began thinning, the sky darkening as it came closer to leaving the planet's atmosphere.

No, no I cannot die now!
Virion thought furiously, clawing back from the brink of oblivion. With an excruciating effort, he bent his arms forward, pushing his hands out against the wall of energy infront of him, prying himself back from it's tearing, caustic embrace. He began to take some of this energy into his own body, using it, redirecting it down his arms, and along his back, and into his chest cavity. He allowed this energy to grow, taking in as much as possible, before drawing it back out, pushing out against the blinding Kamehameha wave in attempt to cushion himself from slipping back once more. It barely even had an effect on slowing the attack, but it did buy Virion the purchase he needed pull himself back.

Finally, the Bio-android was able to catch himself, his senses getting past the excruciating pain and blinding ki emissions which had been effectively screening out his ability to sense the ki signatures beyond. With a gargantuan effort, he locked onto one of those rapidly retreating energies on the world below, and using instant transmission he escaped the Kamehemeha's destructive strangle-hold...

K, I'm out, PL please.
Also a couple of questions: It's 2.1 x gains isn't it (+0.5 for partner and +0.6 for gravity)?
Do I get a Zenkai from my injuries? What does a Zenkai actually give someone?
Thanks in advance for any answers
