A meeting between Pure-hearted Allies[Tenshu]

[Toshio Katsuo]

Toshio could be seen flying up the lookout beam. He had finally had enough free time to see the Kami about what the guardian had in store for him. As his flew, his mind wondered to what it was that Kami wanted to give him. He also wondered if he was one of the last people that would receive their special something as stated by him on the lookout. Soon, Toshio’s boots touched the surface of the lookout, Toshio’s head turning and looking around for the green man.

After not noticing him, he soon started to walk toward the little entrance, knocking on the closed door. Toshio only hoped that everybody was okay and training to become stronger or at least doing something to help against the Suki effort. As he waited for Kami or someone to open the door he pondered more on what Kami had in store for him.

[Geurin]

Kami heard the knocking coming from the door of his lookout. He would have liked to answer it but...well..he was not on the other side.Kneeling adjacent to his garden, the Guardian was planting a new species of flower, he knew it was new because he had created it himself. Being the Guardian had its perks, and one of those was to play with the creation of nature. Kami had watered it recently and now watched as it quickly bloomed, the colors of red and yellow marked with the sheen of the sunlight brought out a warm feeling to the air, as if all was well, and would be well.

"Over here Toshio-Senpai"

He said calling from the garden, not only to politely greet his guest, but also to show off the impressive floral arrangement he had worked so hard on the last several months.

Toshio's arrival was not surprising, but was a little off on the time Kami had expected. He must have had an influx of students following the attack on central, so understandably he would not be able to meet with the guardian immediately. None the less Kami was happy to see him. Toshio was one of the few warriors on the planet that was capable of helping when Suki finally arrived. He just had yet to realize his potential.

[Toshio Katsuo]

Toshio’s ears picked up the voice of Earth’s guardian. Toshio turned his head and noticed the green man tending to a well-knit garden full of red and yellow flowers that seemed to bring out a wondrous peace under the sunlight. Toshio smiled and then strode over to the garden where Kami stood. Waving to the green elder, Toshio spoke.

”Ah Mr.Kami that’s quite a garden you have there. I apologize for my late arrival; things at the school have been a little hectic with new students and a new gravity chamber, which of course I had to test out myself that in the end left me drained of energy on several occasions. Again I apologize for the delay. However, I am here now and at your service”

He smiled once more; he had hoped that the Kami had not given up hope on him ever returning here. Toshio had always intended to return however was sidetracked by numerous things. However, as he said, he was here now and that was all that mattered. Better late than never right?

[Geurin]

"Ha ha ha"
Kami laughed as Toshio explained his training and efforts. This didnt surprise him at all, Toshio when they had first met had such grand potential, so great infact that he rivaled Kami. At the time his gift was one thing, but now it appeared that his gift may in fact be something very different.

"No worries Toshio-Senpai, you have been doing a great service to the youths of earth. When the time comes they will be able to defend themselves, and they have you to thank for that"

He rose from his garden, looking back at its beauty for only a moment before continuing.

"It is a nice garden, so full of life. I only wish I could do more, I keep making improvements, but I havent been able to get it perfect yet, its driving me batty quite frankly"

He knew Toshio wasnt here to gaze at his garden, but it was true, that garden had everything and yet nothing that Kami wanted, he wasnt sure how to make it better, but it was to the point that he wasnt going to be able to maintain it, starting as of recent he was focusing more on training than his gardening, his students were far more important, and the threat of Suki loomed ever closer to them.

But Toshio was one of the few on earth that could stand up to the World Trade Organization. Him and his school would be a very strong necessity when it came to defeating their army, each of his students rivaled a common trader grunt, and Toshio himself was at least as strong as one of Suki's advisers. His help would be needed, But Kami needed to be sure of their alliance before he assumed they would help.

"Toshio-Senpai, perhaps you would be interested in that gift that I promised you"

He said, walking in the direction of the center of the tiled lookout. He was going to see if Toshio was as prepared as he believed he was.

[Toshio Katsuo]

Toshio smiled as he listened to the green sensei talk about his working with the youth of the world. It was true; His student’s were very well capable of defending themselves. But it wasn’t all of Toshio’s doing. His entire body of student’s had heart and the major three things that were taught at the school. Student’s trained with their friends and aspired to defend them in any situation. Toshio did the teaching yes, but the student’s are the one’s that act out that teaching. Toshio smiled as he thought about how far he had come as a Teacher and how far his student’s had come.

Toshio then listened as the Kami mentioned that he was not happy with his garden, despite it’s gracefully groomed look. Toshio then opened his mouth to speak.

”Getting something perfect takes time. You have to rub and polish it as if it were a rock with a diamond underneath. It may require tough work and hours upon hours of time, but once you reach that diamond center. You realize it is completely worth it. I try to take that same aspect when it comes to new students. When they get to my school, some are rough but I can see the diamond underneath and will polish them as long as I can, to see them shine in the light.”

He smiled once more and walked with the Namekian Elder as he strolled over near the center of the lookout. Toshio listened as the Kami brought up the gift that he was to receive. Toshio then spoke once more.

”Ah yes, indeed I would. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. The same goes for me, if theirs anything that needs to be done for you I will gladly oblige. So what is this gift you had in mind?”

After speaking, Toshio stood in silence waiting for Kami to make a response as his mind wondered on what the gift might be. Was it money? Was it some great intense training? Toshio wouldn’t mind on either, as both would be greatly appreciated. He knew that he was going to be happy with anything that the Kami gave him.

[Geurin]

Kami finally stopped once they had reached the targeted spot on the lookout, it was the perfect spot for good, no holds spar. Gripping his cloak with his right hand, he pulled it off revealing his Namekian battle raiment. He always had it on underneath just incase he needed to pull it out and use it, like he had just now.
His cloak fell about a foot away flowing in the wind as it landed on a bush. Kami held his left hand out infront of him, the palm out and the fingers apart as if gripping a doornob. His right hand lay at his waist in a clenched fist, and Kami spoke to Toshio again.

"Not many people get a one on one spar with the Guardian of Earth. Up to the challenge Toshio-Senpai?"

Kami's gift was a spar, or so that appeared to be it. He needed to see where Toshio was at in his training, and at what caliber he could fight.

Kami was already in his fighting stance, he just waited for Toshio's response, and for him to make the first move, it would be rude for the host to attack first.

[Toshio Katsuo]

Toshio continued to follow Kami until the reached a spot where the elder stopped. Toshio eye’s then watched as the green man tore off his cloak revealing what looked like battle armor. Toshio then watched the Namekian get into a fighting stance as the man spoke Toshio listened.

”Not many people get a one on one spar with the Guardian of Earth. Up to the challenge Toshio-Senpai?” [/color]

Toshio smiled as he too got into a fighting stance, holding out his left arm, his left hand curling his pinky, thumb and ring finger halfway while leaving his middle finger and index finger standing up. His right hand and arm tucked beside his stomach balled up into an upward fist. Smiling, Toshio then spoke.

”That I am Mr.Tenshu. It would be my honor to spar with the Keeper of the Earth."

After a few seconds, Toshio figured that Kami was letting him attack first and so he did. He launched himself toward the Namekian bringing his tucked fist out and forward, aiming a punch intended for the man’s left shoulder. He then used his left hand to perform an open palmed strike against the Namek’s chest. Toshio was going to love seeing what the Guardian of Earth had in term of fighting ability.

[Geurin]

Tenshu!?

Damn that dragon, he had hoped the name would have fallen to the way side without being noticed, but now both Nam and Toshio had called him by it. That name always struck a cord with Kami, all of the good, and the bad. It ate at him the more he thought about it. Although Toshio didnt give him much time to think about it as he made his assault, running towards Kami with his first strike. This man was a martial arts master, so Kami would need to play by the books to beat him.

Using the bottom of his right wrist Kami lifted it in order to bat the bunch to further its course just passed his shoulder, and then using his other hand Kami brought his open palm down to meet Toshio's second attack, having only a moment to mutter.

"Please, call me Kami"

It was said coyly, but Kami hoped he took it seriously, he couldnt stand that damn name, Tenshu.
The attack Toshio used is normally meant to break someones guard, but Kami have countered at the right time, used it to push him momentum backwards, and create a flip, landing several feet away from Toshio. The bout had ended in a stalemate between the two as Kami smiled and got back into his position. Left arm out, right at the waist.

"Round 2?"

He said, noting that neither one of them had caused damage to the other as of yet.

[Toshio Katsuo]

Toshio watched as his first attack was diverted away and as Kami went to meet the second attack with another counter he managed to mutter words that Toshio barely picked up. So he doesn’t like his name? Hmm must be a back story with that. Toshio watched as the Name countered his second attack and using the perfect timing and momentum from the counter, pushed himself backwards, cut a flip, and landed a few feet away. Toshio smiled That was quite the maneuver. Beautiful timing. He is much more than just a garden tender. Toshio then listened as the Kami proclaimed that round two was to start. Toshio smiled and chuckled to himself before speaking.

"I shall call you by Kami then. As for round two, you consider that little encounter to be an actual round? I’ve taken bathroom breaks longer than that. I do hope that this little spar will be longer than your intended rounds. I much like to see what the Kami is made out of. Surely you are more than a patient gardener.”

Toshio chuckled at the end, he was stern at times but he was also an aloof master that loved to make little jokes here and there. He hoped that the Kami would have a lighter mood as well, as having something to laugh about was a great pressure reliever, especially when you are burdened with the weight of protecting an entire planet like that of Kami. After letting his past comment’s sink in, Toshio opened his mouth once more.

”This time it’s your move Mr.kami."

Toshio then got into a defensive stance reading himself for anything that the Kami would throw at with.

[Geurin]

This was the first time Kami felt as though he didnt have to push himself, not because of strength difference, but because in most fights he has been in, one person has been fighting to win, but Toshio was a true martial artist, he fought for the pure sport of it, winning and losing wasnt nearly as important as the actual fight itself.

He couldnt help but crack a smile when Toshio said it would be his turn to attack, it only verified his feelings about the match being beneficial to both of them, and yet friendly.
So Kami would not disappoint the man, he crossed both arms over his chest, and an aura appeared around him, Kami was charging his next move.

"Alright, lets see what I can come up with"

Suddenly a leg stepped out of Kami's back, followed by an arm, and soon an entire body, an entirely new Kami had stepped out of the first one, and now there were two.

Speaking in unison both Kami's said...

"How about this!"

One Kami jumped off to the side, while the second ran at toshio, it would throw an immediate right hook, followed by a left. Its form was not meant to be graceful this time, but rather to enter Toshio into a fist fight, as Kami would continue throwing these punches in the form of a quick barrage.

The first Kami that had jumped off to the side landed several feet to toshio's right. He would clasp both hands, as if praying, and begin charging Ki. The Ki would help to create a green aura, and once it began Kami would begin slowly moving his right arm counterclockwise.

Right now the makings of the attack were unknown as it needed time to charge, but Toshio was preoccupied with the first Kami who was on him like white on rice. This fight was about to get a lot more interesting.

[Toshio Katsuo]

Toshio lips curved into a smile when Kami said he would see what he could come up with. The next part shocked Toshio. As another green like figure emerged from the back of the original Kami, Toshio eyes watched in surprise. Toshio had never fought a Namek before and he wondered if this was some sort of special technique or something of theirs or. Or was it just a kami special? Toshio continued to watch as the green figure turned out to be an exact copy of the Kami, still thinking if this was a special technique or just race ridden. Toshio did not know the answer, but he had to be ready to defend it. As one of the kami’s jumped to the side, the other charged at the Master.

Swinging in with a right hook, Toshio blocked it with his right arm and then proceeded to do the same with the other attack and his left arm. The kami double…or was it the real Kami? Toshio didn’t know, but he did know that the incoming barrage of hooks and punches was not good. Blocking or countering most of the punches, there were few that got past his lock and clocked him on the chin or upper chest. However, Toshio shrugged them off and managed to throw a couple of strikes against his adversary in multiple locations across the green body.

Toshio was oblivious, at least for now, of the other kami that was now charging an attack. Right now, Toshio’s full focus was on the close encounter fight that was happening as he continued to block and attempt to exchange blows with the doubled Kami.

[Geurin]

The exchange had become heated, Toshio throwing equally swift punches as the guardian. Normally Kami would power up in order to out match his opponents speed, but having split himself physically in two, his power level matched that. Him and Toshio were at nearly equal power, and the fist exchange was moving quickly, those whose power level was weaker than theirs would be unable to actually see the combat transpire, meanwhile those who could see it would know that the two were physically giving it their all.

Throwing a kick in every once and a while Kami found himself in even deadlock with the Master of the victory school. There was of course a reason they called him the master of that school and this skill was proving why.

But Kami couldnt end this little spat just yet, he still needed more time, his copy, or possibly the real one, this being unknown to his adversary, was still charging, but the power was becoming more prevalent.

Three ringlets had begun circling the Namekians hand, green and glowing with neon light. This was his Bikkuri Sho, and although it took some time to charge, it was a game changer every time. The guardian would continue his rhythmic movements, very similar to those one might see in yoga, and as the guardian continued, the attack would grow, and the concentrated Ki would become even greater.

While he could strike with it now, it would only be a minor attack, and he wouldnt be able to hold it for long, but against Toshio, he knew he needed all the time he could get.

[Toshio Katsuo]

Toshio and the aggressive melee Kami continued to go at it and exchange blow for blow. Toshio’s left arm came up to block yet another kick from the green skinned alien. As the intense skirmish continued between the two, Toshio’s mind stared to wonder where the other Kami was. After another quick strike from Toshio, Toshio eyes quickly glanced to his left. Nope...not their.. Yet another quick strike from the Namek and yet another block from Toshio He’s not on the left, and I don’t have enough time for a full glance, not with someone being so aggressive. I have to do another quick glance and hope that I don’t get clocked. After a few more second’s Toshio eyes glanced to the right this time, and his eyes caught the other kami. It looked as if the Kami was charging up an attack.

There!! What is he.. Toshio had missed a block and the green man’s hand crushed the left side of Toshio’s face staggering him a bit. The glance he did took the slightest concentration off of the aggressive kami and he made him pay the price for that. Damnit…I can’t fight this one while the other sits back and charges what could be a massive attack. I have to do something to knock the concentration off from the one that’s doing the charging…I got it.

As the aggressive kami started to come at him again, Toshio started to throw a quick punch however, that was only intended to throw the kami off. He stopped the punch halfway through and instead lifted both of his legs off the ground and intended to push off from the kami using the strength and length of both of his legs. Coupled with flight, Toshio would then have enough space and time to launch a quick ball of energy toward the Kami that was charging the attack. Toshio charged a blue colored energy ball about the size of a baseball and quickly released it toward the charging kami. Hoping that would be enough to stop the charge, or at least delay it a little bit longer.

Toshio then used tremendous speed to charge back at the other Kami to prevent him from blocking or intercepting the thrown energy ball. Toshio launched a quick barrage of strikes at the kami, each strike coming from a different angle than the one before. Hopefully, if not doing considerable damage it would be enough to distract that kami from interfering with his intended ki attack.

[Geurin]

Toshio's attack had only partially done its job. His Ki was indeed able to make its way to the charging Kami, and it even broke his concentration...but

He was to late.

The Bikkuri Sho, although not fully powered, had been charged long enough to begin attacking, and not a moment to soon. The Kami who had been charging the green ki stuck his arm out directly infront of him, and right before their eyes, the Ki ball that flew at him was cut in half, the two halfs flying off in opposite directions and exploding.
The Bikkuri Sho had three rings that circled Kami's right arm, and as he so thuroughly destroyed the Ki attack before him, one of the three rings disappeared, leaving only two.

Two was more than enough.

This was Kami's ace attack, his spirit bomb, his destructo disk, and his hellzone grenade. This was the attack that Kami used normally as a way of finishing an opponent (Of course this was not as powered as it would be normally, or Toshio would possibly be fried from its attack.)

The second Kami didnt need to defend the first from such an attack, and so, when Toshio came in with a fist to punch the Kami, he took the hit and on impact exploded into a small cloud of dust.
The clone had burst, releasing its Ki back into the host body, and now there were only the two of them. Kami, and Toshio, a couple of feet away from each other on the platform of the lookout.

"I have a technique I wanted to show you Toshio-Senpai, it is my favorite, although also my most difficult to handle. My Bikkuri Sho"

He said this holding up his arm, which was still circling with 2 green ki ringlets, and glowing a neon green. This is where the fight got interesting. The two masters would face each other in a no holds spar.

[Toshio Katsuo]

As Toshio’s fist went through one of the Kami’s it exploded into a cloud of dust, Toshio not knowing what had happened with his energy attack turned to the right and braced himself with his arms, thinking that the attack was coming. As his head turned and his arms rose to defend his body, he managed to catch the tail end of his energy ball attack. Now having been split by the energy stream from Kami and exploding behind the Namek in two separate explosions. His energy attack had made Kami’s stream of energy disperse and Toshio watched as one out of three rings on his extended arm disappeared. Toshio lowered his blocking arms as the Kami spoke.

Toshio listened as the Kami commented on the technique he had or was still planning to use. Toshio cracked a smile when the kami finished speaking, allowing Toshio to opportunity to comment as well.

”Ah Mr.Kami showing your best moves already? That doesn’t leave much room for surprises now does it?” He chuckled before continuing to speak ”I have something similar, it to being my favorite attack. However I tend to use it as a last resort because of the sheer power it has not only upon me but the one who receives it as well. Mine requires immense concentration, as it is actually two of my techniques in one. But alas, enough talk. Let’s see what that can do against one of my own.”

Once he finished talking Toshio cupped his hands and brought them by his side, if the Kami was going to use one of his special moves, Toshio was not going to hold back too much. This battle was about to get much more intense. Hopefully the two would not blow each other away; the Earth could not afford to lose either of these great warriors
