Mediocre Battle (Yamcha VS Ethar)

[Deleted]

Ethar was roaming about when he heard that there was an arena where people can challenge and fight warriors of days past, and Ethar saw it as the perfect opportunity to increase his strength, as he made his way over to an enormous building.

Putting his name into the fighter roster, Ethar made his way to the stage where he would fight a historic warrior that still roamed heaven. He didnt pay much attention in history class, so whoever he fought today would be a complete surprise to him.

Making his way out into the arena stage, He saw that it was fairly open, great for all types of combat, even mid-air combat. But Ethar was not worried about Air combat, as he lacked the ability to fly for the time being. He gazed across the satage, and saw another door for his challenger to enter in. "I wonder whom Ill be fighting." He said, as he waited for his opponent to enter. As he waited, he could hear the cheers of many heavenly people who were looking forward to this day, where a well known warrior would face an unknown challenger like Ethar.

Yamcha. That was the name of the warrior of the past that Ethar Luxen would face today. The man who lived during one of the more turbulent times in the universe's history. Friend and ally of the great hero known as Goku, Yamcha had live in the shadow of the hero when it came to fighting prowess. Near the end of their time together he was completely eclipsed. And yet here he stood in his extensive afterlife, still wearing his orange gi with the logo of the Kame-Sennin school embroidered on it. Though he wasn't a master of martial arts, he accepted that he would forever be a student. And so the bold pupil stepped forward, walking down the hall that lead to the arena.

He gave no words to his opponent until he was fully in the ring and facing the man opposite him. He gave a small bow before taking his traditional fighting stance and smiling. "Aw, man...I was really hoping it'd be a beautiful woman." Yamcha shrugged and smirked, "Oh well, put 'em up, pal!"

[Deleted]

Ethar smirked as he saw his opponent. He didnt recognise him at all, but when he said he was hoping his opponent would be a beautiful woman, he laughed. "Haha, You and me both bub, but lets get this going..." He said, as he sensed the mans energy signature. It had alot of oomph to it, but nothing he could handle. He unbuckled his sword shealth, and tossed his weapon aside as he added "Old school style." as he took up his own defensive stance.

He suddenly rushed at Yamcha, intending on sending a punch to his chest. Wanting to test Yamcha's skills, Ethar refrained from transforming until it was necessary to do so. "Show me what ya got pretty boy!" He said, as he threw his first attack.

[Non-Player Characters]

The human warrior raised an eyebrow at the man opposite him, still smirking slyly. Why did he enter a defensive stance and then attack? That was in very bad form. This kid had a respectable amount of power to him, but with fighting technique like that he'd not be accomplishing much in the way of martial arts. But that's alright. Yamcha planned to educate him with a lesson in the school of hard knock. If this guy wanted a fight, he picked the right dude to mess with.

Already being in his trademark fighting stance, Yamcha didn't hesitate to open up this fight strong with one of his signature attacks. He took a lunging step forward, easily parrying Ethar's punch to the side with one arm and leading his own initial strike in with a hard open palm aimed at Ethar's chest. This attack would hopefully open up Ethar's defenses for Yamcha's famed Wolf Fang Fist! A flurry of palm strikes, knees, and kicks would then proceed to rain down towards Ethar at increased speeds even from what he might expect from someone of Yamcha's power. With his full speed and strength Yamcha could easily overwhelm Ethar at his current level. Even if he blocked or dodged a few, once that first impact was made the remaining strikes would be practically guaranteed to hit. The barrage would finish with a mighty double palm thrust aimed at Ethar's chest. Just before that final strike he would shout, "Wolf Fang Fist!"

But the assault wouldn't end there. With palms already in place, Yamcha would draw his arms back to his rear hip while still in his fighting stance and rapidly charge a Kamehameha before launching the beam directly at his hopefully recoiling foe, "Ka...me...ha...me....HAAA!!!"

[Deleted]

Ethar wasnt surprised that his opening attack was avoided, but he was surprised when Yamcha quickly managed to scored many quick hits on him, ending with his famous Wolf Fang Fist. It left Ethar out of breath for a moment, but he quickly knew that he would have to get serious. When he tried to move right away, he felt that his chest was in quite a bit of pain. It seemed that Yamcha knew where to hit to inflict the most amount of pain as Ethar could of sworn he felt something snap in his chest when the final blow landed.

Luckily, Ethar had a good amount of beatings from Orenji to learn how to recover quickly, as with in the precious few seconds he had, He leapt as high into the air as he could. He watched as Yamcha launched a Kamehameha right at him, as he didnt managed to get up high enough to avoid it, he quickly drew his hands to his sides, charged energy, and fired his own beam at it. "Dragon Flash Wave!" He said, as the two beams collided, the force of the impact pushing Ethar higher into the air as he appeared to be smirking to himself. "Hes got power, But Lets see how he handles this!" He thought, as he watched his own beam quickly losing the beam struggle.

Ethar's aura suddenly flared up as his eyes turned blood red, his canine teeth grew longer, as his nails also grew longer as his own power quadrupled, giving his beam the needed energy to take back the ground its lost, and rapidly start to over power Yamchas beam attack.

[Non-Player Characters]

"Aw man"

Yamcha said, memories of past defeats irking their ugly head into view. He looked around for an out and found the only option other than taking the hit, was to take to the skies. His feet began to glow with a clear aura, and off into the sky he went, releasing the wave and leading into the air just narrowly avoiding disaster with Ethar's attack.

"Woah, thats not human"

He said looking back at his opponent and viewing the facial features that he was boasting. No matter, Yamcha was not such a push over, he would take control back of this fight. Hell he had so many fun adventures with Goku, he knew he could beat this punk. He couldn't turn into a frilly demon or nothin' but he knew a few tricks.

"I just have to focus...Focus like King Kai taught me all those years ago"

His eyes closed for only a moment, before his Ki nearly tripled, like most humans, he too could unlock his desperate focus, and would now be able to combat Ethar on fair grounds. If the alien demon thing thought he could cheat Yamcha out of a fair fight, he was sorely mistaken.

"Come on scaredy cat, come and get me now!"

He said, putting his arm out and pulling in in a crude hip swaying gesture. Yamcha was never one for words, so he would wait for his opponent to fly up and meet him.

[Deleted]

Ethar smirke,d as he felt Yamcha's energy level rise, yet it still didnt feel as strong as his, but he could tell that Yamcha was not playing around then. "Haha, I can see why your a legendary fighter around here. I bet the girls in the stands over there want ya badly." He said, hoping that that would distract him for a moment, while he walked over to where he had discarded his sword, immediately picked it up, and tossed away the sheath, bearing the enchanted blade.

When he saw that Yamcha was a flyer, he sighed. He was afraid that his opponent would take to the skies, but he had his way of engaging him there, and hopefully win. "Here I come!" He said, as he crouched down slightly. His Aura flared up again, as he put his strength into his legs as he pushed off, right towards his opponent. As he did so, he charged up energy in one hand, and tossed several small balls of energy at Yamcha. His Energia Ripetitore was to serve as a distraction as Ethar would fly up, and he attempted to use his blade on the warriors knee.

If he couldnt kill him, he could atleast disable him, and give Ethar the advantage again. If Yamcha was to avoid the Energia Ripetitore attack, the energy balls would come around for another strike at Yamcha's back.

[Non-Player Characters]

Still maintaining his focus, Yamcha all but ignored the comments of his opponent as he held out his right arm and began to gather energy in it. A bright blue orb began to form as Ethar's energy blasts rushed towards the desert bandit. Because of the speed of Ethar's attacks, though, he wasn't able to finish his own energy attack and had to abandon it, letting the energy fizzle out in his hand as he dashed to his left, then back, then to his left again in a diagonal zig-zag patter to try and avoid the blasts.

Because of his early dismissal, though, he'd evaded quick enough that Ethar's slash wouldn't even get close enough to cut his gi. He gave a triumphant smile when he realized this only to be pelted by three of the energy blasts in his back. It knocked him forward and caused him to drop down a bit, but also knocked him out of the way of the remaining blasts, which crashed into the ground behind him.

Now being back on the arena floor in a crouch, Yamcha frowned as he looked up to see his opponent on level ground with him again. From the way that attack went, Ethar couldn't fly. Or at least it appeared that way. If Yamcha could keep enough distance between them long enough to create his Soukidan then he could beat Ethar to a pulp without ever having to worry about being counter attacked. He'd taken a lot of attacks a lot stronger than this one and still been standing to keep up the good fight. With a burst of energy from his feet and a kick off the ground the legendary fighter was back in the air and rapidly ascending higher. Ethar's chance to knock him down again was rapidly slipping away.

[Deleted]

With both being back on the ground, Ethar saw that Yamcha was quick to take to the air again, giving Ethar the idea that Yamcha had figured out his weakness already. He had no idea that Yamcha could figure that out already, so as his legs were recovering from the jump, he moved his hands to his sides, and started to charge up his ki int othe palms of his hands.

"This guy moves fast, and he hits hard. Gotta find a way to pin him down somehow." He thought to himself as he watched Yamcha climb higher and higher. Knowing that his regular homing ki attack had managed to hit, Ethat thought it would work to focus and charge up that attack, making it more deadlier then before if it was executed perfectly. "Stop Flying you coward!" He shouted up at the flying fighter.

Charge 1

[Non-Player Characters]

"Stop Flying you coward!"

The man yelled up to the recently powered up Yamcha. Clearly this man had no intention of taking the air with him clearly confirming his guess that his opponent couldn’t fly. This just drastically changed the battle dynamic and it would be one that he would gladly take advantage of. Of course no battle would be without its taunting.

“How am I a coward? Me being able to fly just proves how much better of a fighter I am. I got the distinguished gift of training with the legendary King Kai. You stand no chance of winning here today!” Yamcha finished with a swing of his arm for emphasis.

His opponent was charging a ball of ki in his hand meaning he meant to try and hit the Z fighter with something far more powerful than he had previously done. It was only a matter of time before the attack became too powerful for him to handle. He had to strike now and make sure that it was not going to go off. Charging his ki up into his fists he prepared to prevent the attacks. Then with a howl he yelled, “New Wolf Fang Fist!”

Launching himself forward Yamcha intended to strike several times with his fists, about four times, battering his opponent. After which he would leap into the air and then launch a large barrage of kicks that were directed at the face. The attack was not only meant to disrupt the charging attack but also beat down his now far weaker opponent. He was about to find out what it truly meant to fight a Z fighter.

[Deleted]

"King Kai? Never heard of him." He said, as he held and continued to charge the ki in his hands as he saw that Yamcha had gone on the offensive, and came right at him with a new attack, but luckily for Ethar, it wasnt a fast attack, as he managed to kick himself off, and push himself backwards, allowing him to narrowly dodge Yamchas attacks. Ethar wasnt going to be beaten like that yet, for as soon as Yamcha touched ground, Ethar threw his palms forward, yelling "Dragon Flash Wave!", as the slightly charged energy erupted from his palms at a near point blank range.

If such an attack at close range was successful, the resulting impact explosion would greatly set Yamcha back, but at such a close range, the explosion would also effect Ethar Mildly, though not enough to actually take him out of the fight that he was so desperate to win.

[Non-Player Characters]

Yamcha’s attack barely missed the dodging man. He was surprising faster than he had estimated since he was charging an attack. But he did not have time to focus on that now. The attack roared toward his body and quickly he swung his arms up in front of his chest. The blast slammed into his chest and pushed him through the air. His feet grinded into the ground until he came to a halt. As he did however an explosion ripped the air in twain and lit up the room in blinding light.

As the light faded away and the smoke cleared Yamcha was left standing there with his forearms bloody, his face scratched, clothes torn and a weary look adorning his face. His breathing was heavy as the block took more out of him than he had intended. The Z fighter’s eyes searched the cloud waiting for his opponent to appear in hopes to launch an effective counter attack.

“Man that was close. I better stay on my guard otherwise I will be in trouble. I have to remember what Goku told me, be careful to make sure that my food isn’t stolen!” Yamcha said with a laugh as he tried to pass off what was happening as nothing more than a minor inconvenience. Yamcha sank back into a fighting stance as he readied himself for whatever might appear from the cloud of dust.

[Deleted]

While Ethars attack was successful, It didnt have the full effect that he had intended, as the blast partially bounced back on him as well, tearing up his shirt, and giving Ethar a painful reminder that Yamcha had broke atleast 1 bone in his chest.

"Nggh!" He grunted in pain, as he put his hand over where the pain was coming from as he thought "Damn it, He did more damage to me then I thought. I have to end this quickly.", as while the dust cloud was up, he created several balls of Ki in the palm of his free hand, and threw them towards Yamcha, hoping to land a sneak attack. But then his hearing picked up a name that Yamcha mentioned. "Goku? Whats a Goku?" He asked, wondering just what this Z Fighter knew, but from what he heard, this 'Goku' seemed to value food alot.

[Non-Player Characters]

Yamcha's eyes picked up on the glowing orbs of energy as they neared the edge of the cloud. He couldn't stand to have his arms or chest damaged yet again, and so he threw out as many energy blasts of his own as he could to try and stop the attack. But he wasn't quick enough. He stopped a little over half of the blasts. The remaining spheres crashed into his front and knocked him stumbling back from the impact and the pain. He winced and grunted, "Nnnggrrr...." His teeth clenched and he grasped his left arm with his right, having taken a blast in the elbow and shoulder of his left arm.

Without thinking, out of instinct and desperation he fired back another barrage of ki bursts back into the cloud in the direction that the attack came from. "You're gonna pay for that! I'm not gonna let some amateur beat me!"

[Deleted]

Trying to catch his breath with broken ribs, Ethar groaned in pain as the smoke settled down intime for Ethar to See Yamcha fire off some mild Ki blasts at hum. He had to react, or else that very attack would end this fight right here, right now. He had to defend himself somehow, but then it hit him, as Ethar quickly threw up his shield, barely blocking the Ki blasts as the final small blast was able to shatter it like glass.

Seeing that he was now vulnerable, and the next attack would finish him off, Ethar bit his bit, and endured the pain in his chest, as he started to charge energy in his hands. He knew that this last attack would most likely either decide if he was victorious, or fail in defeat like he usually did. But no, Ethar wanted to win this one so badly, and he could see that Yamcha was also injured. Then he heard Yamcha call him an Amature, which infuriated him to no end, as he used his charged up energy to throw back atleast 2 times as many homing Ki blasts right at Yamcha, and to follow up his combo attack, and through an excruciating amount of pain in his chest, he took a deep breath, drew his arms back making two larger balls of energy in his palms.

"T-This...rrgh, Ends now! Dragon Flash Wave!" He said, grunting from the pain, as he suddenly threw his arms forward, combining the two large balls of energy, as it then burst into a large beam again, aimed directly at Yamcha as the beam would follow up behind his Ki blasts. Hoping that his all out and desperate attack would do the trick, and earn him a decent victory.
