Ki Buster [Open Spar]

[Raki Zakros]

OOC: This is set before the fight with Geurin here

-

“This should be a good enough spot I think…” Toshiro mused on top of the tallest rocky pillar he could see, he had flew just outside of the Crater Forest where the terrain that had stayed barren like a desert instead of growing new life like the forests. This area out at the forest’s outer rim was ideal for any kind of fighting; he could go all out and not worry about the environment around him.

“All-right, let’s see if this gets anyone’s attention…” He raised his arm in the air, his white gi flapped as another light desert wind blew past him, the ends of his red belt and bandana wavering also. He cupped his hands and formed a glowing light green ball of ki, which he then shot off high into the air.

Now why would he do such a thing? The hybrid smirked as the ball then exploded like a firework as he clenched his fist on command; the sparkles of green light then formed a message in the sky that read.

“SEEKING A SPARRING MATCH,
FLY HERE IF INTERESTED!

[/b]”[/center]
Toshiro dusted his hands in finality, surely someone would have noticed that and would be here soon. He had been training by himself and occasionally had to fight the ki enhanced animals around the place, but they soon did not give much of a challenge to him, so he figured he’d continue his training this way while still seeking out a proper opponent. Hopefully someone much stronger and experienced too, he had learned a lot from his last spar with Dynammo, and he was eager to learn much more.

[Toshio Katsuo]

A calm whistling came from the man known as Toshio Katsuo; he had a basket in his left hand with varied fruits, he had been gathering the fruits form the large crater forest since it was much cheaper than to just buy them out right. The chiefs at the school were quite good at what they did, and Toshio was always happy to help in any way possible. He was bending down to pick up a fallen apple when an explosion made him jump, and the basket of fruits slid off his arm and onto the ground, sending apples, oranges, and various other fruits scattering across the ground. Frowning, Toshio looked up to where he had heard the loud explosion, eyeing the message that was written in green in the sky.

Toshio noticed the message said fly here, yet ‘here’ was in the sky, not really helping when Toshio expected the person to be on the ground. Scratching his head and then looking down at the still spilled basket of fruits, he shook his head. Well…forest shopping is out of the question now. I might as well give this person a sparring match. Maybe I could talk them into joining the school. Toshio then looked back up at the message, before his feet lifted up off the ground and proceeded to fly toward the message, hoping that whoever sent the message up would surely see a body near it.

Upon reaching the floating green message, Toshio looked around and the tried to see if he could spot anyone on the ground. Toshio hoped that the message wasn't a ploy for a villain, as that could turn out bad, as Toshio would have seemingly walked right into the trap. However, he was pretty sure it was nothing that he couldn't handle. Toshio continued to search the ground, looking for any sign of a person, yet it was difficult to find someone in the lust green thickened forest.

[Raki Zakros]

Well the ki explosive message was meant to get attention after all, there was no better way he could think of in getting a random sparring partner. Seeing as most of the more able fighters were ki aware at the very least, he assumed that they could fly or at least jump as high as his message was. After a few minutes of waiting, he saw a figure fly towards his message, and that made the hybrid himself grin. “I didn’t think it would work at first, but it looks like I outdid myself, heh…” Toshiro talked to himself, and now to grab the attention of the person in return.

Whilst he continued to stand on the high pillar, Toshiro closed his eyes and focused on his ki, this concentrated emitted a spike of energy from his body as it was shrouded by a light green glow, ensuring that this visitor in the sky could sense where he was exactly. In a sense this would be a good way to do some infiltration or recon without spilling much information, but hey at this point he just wanted a sparring partner to better test the fruits of this training. “Hey, over here!” he would call once he could sense the person was within hearing range.

Toshiro refastened the headband on his head and went to do some fundamental stretches, it would suck if he had a sprain or stich because he was careless. He was excited, it was a while since he’d sensed such a power. The animals besides being mutated by the ki the forest provided, no longer gave him as much of a workout, his growth as far as power was concerned had slowed down, thus he wouldn’t make a different with such a rate, the spar was to at least make up for that.

[Toshio Katsuo]

Toshio continued to look around for any sign of the person who had sent up the message, when suddenly a spike in power level and a green glow came fro Toshio’s left. Toshio smiled, easily spotting a figure on a pillar now. Toshio then started to descend upon the body figure, the words “Hey, over here” coming from the figure as Toshio grew closer. Eventually, he closed in on the figure and saw what he thought was a human with strange markings, in his early to mid 20’s. He watched as the stranger started to stretch, and figured it was best for him to do the same. Landing on the ground, Toshio started to stretch his limbs and do quick air punches and kicks to make sure he was up to speed. Continuing to stretch, Toshio thought it would be a nice idea to get to know the mystery person and so he opened his mouth to speak.

“Well stranger, your rather odd way of contacting someone seemed to work. My name is Toshio Katsuo, one of the many teachers at the Victory school that’s located on this mountain. May I ask the name of the fellow I am about to spar with?”

When Toshio finished speaking, he would continue to do his regular stretching routine waiting for the strange man to hopefully introduce himself as well.

[Raki Zakros]

Once he saw his new opponent in sight, yes he could confirmed he looked as much as he had sensed his ki. He looked like an Earthling, though what species he was was hard to tell nowadays, Earth had been inhabited by many aliens and hybrids that have made Earth their home over time. In any case, the guy’s ki was incredible and immense, he’d certainly get a challenge here and learn a lot.

“Heh, I wouldn’t go far to call it ‘odd’ so to speak. Along the lines of ‘creative’ fits more with me, my name is Toshiro Rei. I am merely a wanderer who seeks power and experience in sparring with others, to better my own training. So you are a teacher from the Victory School huh, please show me your fighting style. Depending on how this spar goes, I may wish to enlist in your school, there may be a chance it may benefit me further.” Toshiro replied, finishing up his stretches, then bowing at Toshio a little, respecting his greeting.

He then punched his fists together and bent his neck from side to slide, loosening himself further. The hybrid then crouched down into his usual fighting stance, legs slid apart, hands clawed in front of him, his own unique white tiger stance. “Well then, let’s get started…” he said, a green glow then flowed around the young man as his ki went to spike up at its peak, this was all he could tap into through his stance, and he knew in time it’ll get even better.

His hands then pressed against his knees as he bent his knees and leaned his body forwards, quickly leaping off the pillar to have it collapse from the force behind his kick start. He lunged straight at his foe from above, hand clawed with ki shining from this fingers, he went for a starting slash at his opponent’s face as he feet reached the ground.

Toshiro then went to bounce off the ground and tried to send his knee up towards Toshio’s gut, this if successful will be followed up quickly with a palm thrust with his other hand to knock or make his foe stumble back. It was a basic combo, he just hoped his starting speed was enough to have him land it smoothly.

[Toshio Katsuo]

As Toshio continued to stretch, he listened to the newly meet stranger speak for the first time. Toshio chuckled at the start when he heard the young looking man call his little ‘greeting card’ creative. Toshio had to admit, it was very creative and he liked that the man saw himself as such an artist in a way. As he went on explaining that he was a wanderer named Toshiro Rei gaining experience and power by sparring with others. Toshio himself thought their first names were eerily similar, spelling it out in his head. If he was correct, the only difference being the R. The next statement caught Toshio surprised a bit as the young man stated that if Toshio impressed him enough, he would enroll in the school to hopefully benefit him further. As Toshio finished stretching, he figured it was only the polite thing to do as to let the stranger go first in attacking. Of course, he didn’t have to tell the young man that was he was already starting to get into an odd stance and form.

Suddenly a green aura stared to surround the young stranger as Toshio felt his power level rise, after finally tapping out he watched as the young man leapt off the pillar, crushing it behind with the strong force of the jump. Toshio immediately got into a defensive stance and watched as the young man named Toshiro lit his fingers with energy and slashed at Toshio’s face, the seasoned schoolteacher was light on his toes as he jumped back to avoid the first strike, however the boy’s quick bounce from the ground with a left knee caught Toshio in the stomach, Toshio winced at first but was ready for the next attack that came at him. Toshio quickly blocked the young man’s other hand palm thrust; even managing to counter it with a palm thrust of his own headed toward the young man’s torso area.

Toshiro Rei’s fighting stance was unusual for the Victory schoolteacher, however it was nothing that he couldn’t adapt to and defend well, at least at the start. Going on from Toshio’s first offensive move, he would the start to throw several flurries of punches, all aimed within the vicinity of Toshiro’s chest area. He was eager to see how the boy stood against attacks to his chest, more intrigued on how he would counter and block with what seemed like an unorthodox style of fighting.

[Raki Zakros]

Toshiro couldn’t help but grin as his foe nimbly dodged his first strike, got hit by the knee, but still managed to block his palm thrust in such a position. With a grunt, he got sent stumbling back a few steps as Toshio countered with his own palm thrust, he admitted he didn’t see that one coming. “Heh, I would have expected as much from a teacher, you can read me pretty well already…” he commented, steadying his balance as he resumed his fighting stance.

“Here he comes…” Toshiro thought, leaning back in his stance more defensively as he clawed his hands, trying to picture where Toshio was going to strike. Just when he started going for his chest, his hands moved there to protect it. The flurry of punches came and his hands speedily moved above his chest area, blocking and parrying away with his hands to match the punches just barely. This guy was strong and fast, it made his hands sprain a little under the pressure, soon realising he was taking a couple of steps back.

“He’s trying to overwhelm me with his numbers, not a chance…” The movement of his feet made him realise that Toshio had left them unguarded, so while continuously parrying he went to attempt a kick at Toshio’s feet like he was kicking a soccer ball. With such a tilt, Toshiro would then be on his side in the air, he’d push himself forward with flight and try to press his feet hard against Toshio’s torso area to try and send him away, hopefully successful this time.

If this had all worked out as planned, Toshiro went on further by using a more damaging ki attack as one of his clawed hands began to glow. “White Tiger’s Slash Claw!” he yelled, the then swiped his hand towards his foe to send out five arcs of green cutting energy his way, nothing deadly but took similarity of a enhanced cat scratch.

[Toshio Katsuo]

Toshio watched as his counter palm thrust succeeded and blew back the human, Toshiro commenting on Toshio’s ability to read and react to Toshiro’s unorthodox fighting style. Cracking a smile the schoolteacher would speak briefly before he started on the offensive.

“Heh, I wouldn’t be a teacher if I didn’t learn to expect the unexpected and then read and react to it accordingly.”

As he started his offensive strikes, he was impressed with the young man’s ability to keep up with him, although his strikes started to push the young human back he still was blocking and parrying like a champ. Toshio then watched as Toshiro tried to sweep his legs out from under him, Toshio wasn’t quick enough to avoid the strike and thus it succeeded pinning Toshio sideways in the air, Toshio was then expecting some sort of quick attack from the human and thus was ready for Toshiro’s feet attack, it slammed into his torso area, however while taking little damage the force also push the school master backwards, however he caught himself and managed to extend his hands and bounce off of the ground, doing a back flip in the process.

He then watched as the young man yelled out an attack and sent out five green energy arcs, smiling Toshio held up his arms to block, as the arcs slammed into his guard leaving several cuts along Toshio’s arms. Wincing from the slight pain, he lowered his guard and kicked off from the ground kicking up some dust in the process as he sped toward Toshiro, up arriving he would the engage in close range combat once more, however this time throwing kicks in with his punches at various spots around the young human’s body.

[Raki Zakros]

“True enough, let’s see if you can keep it up for the rest of the fight,” Toshiro returned a comment as a smirk before he resumed on his offence. His plan went well but it seemed Toshio managed to recovery rather quickly from his sideways stomp despite his set up, he’d have to try harder to get the guy off guard.

And that’s where his Slaw Claw technique came into it, its goal was of course to cut through the foe’s defences due to its nature. He looked at his handiwork on Toshiro’s arms and knew he had a slight edge, but he knew not to get cocky once the teacher engaged in close combat again, this time a lot more well-rounded than before.

This time instead of just blocking and dodging the blows, Toshiro wanted to prove himself that he could do a lot more in that situation, despite it being harder and using up more energy. He matched blow by blow with one of his own, leading the two to be exchanging punches and kicks at a rapid rate, with the blows dealt on Toshiro, the young man went to ignore them until he’d land a critical hit.

With them evenly matched, Toshiro couldn’t break through and do that so bounced back from a kick and then flew back quickly. His green aura flared around him briefly before Toshiro charged straight at Toshio with a battle cry, a fist charging up with ki, in which he’d try a heavy jab towards his foe’s chest. The force was aimed to stun him in his place, if that worked then he’d open his palm and then turn it while he let out a shockwave. With such a motion Toshio wouldn’t be just knock back, but also spun a little at an angle.

[Toshio Katsuo]

As Toshio engaged into a more diverse close ranged fighting style, the young man named Toshiro again impressed him by his ability to not only keep up with his man punches and kicks but also counter them with his own, both fighters were landing and receiving blows at the same pace and this close quartered encounter was much more even than the last. Finally, the young Toshiro jumped back from one of his kicks and quickly rebounded with a charged hand of ki, the speed of the young man was impressive as the ki charged palm struck Toshio in the chest, which surprised Toshio in more ways than one, first being the speed of the attack and then the stun effect that it had on his body.

Toshio was shocked at the stun aspect of the attack, and then witnessed the young man twist his palm around and Toshio suddenly felt a shockwave that pushed him away from Toshiro at an angle, As Toshio flew backwards he tried to regain his composure and position, fortunately after quite a few seconds he managed to regain control of his body, his feet touching and sliding across the ground. Toshio was amazed at such a technique that could cause the body to go numb and apply such great force on the opponent. Smiling, Toshio opened his mouth to speak.

“That’s quite a unique move you got their Toshiro, very impressive but you’re not the only one with an impressive move.”

Toshio continued to smile as he got into an offense position, and for a few seconds nothing seemed to happen, however Toshio would then kick off and start to dash toward Toshiro only to disappear from sight and reappear instantly behind Toshiro aiming an elbow to the back of his neck, Toshio didn’t use his special Instant Transmission that much in battle, however he figured he would ‘showoff’ a tad bit.

[Raki Zakros]

“Got you, HA!” Toshiro yelled as he managed to hit his mark this time round better than last time, his Force Palm technique had been applied differently and turned out to be effective in that kind of situation, a stun and then a sudden ki burst that sent the opponent away. “I gathered as much, I was wondering when you’d show me some of your moves,” the young man smirked at his opponent, insisting that he show him what he meant.

Toshio then suddenly disappeared and reappeared, and before he even noticed, he had been struck at the back of the neck, and he couldn’t even comprehend what had happened until he hit the ground face first. “What the… that wasn’t the afterimage technique. Even if his speed is way above mine, I should still be able to see it… but I didn’t. It’s as if he really… teleported…” Toshiro marvelled at the technique he had never seen before, surely that was it and now raw speed.

“How, did you do that? Was that… teleportation?” The human hybrid questioned the teacher as he shakily and slowly rose to his feet, that strike at the back of his neck throbbed and felt the rest of his body disoriented from the blow, he was visibly struggling and waiting for the mild paralysis to wear off before he attacked again. So he swiftly skid his feet around and then leaped back to gather some distance, hopefully Toshio’s explanation of his technique would have him learn something new and give him time to recover.

After that, he would have rested enough and would resume his fighting stance. There was no telling what else Toshio had up his sleeve, and to be honest Toshiro himself was running out of ideas, this guy was just that skilled, to be expected of a teacher. “Looks like I’ve got to set him up on a trap if I’m going to get any progress…” He thought as he started to strategies his next plan of attack, by using things he already knew.

With an idea in mind, Toshiro suddenly jumped into the air and then stomped the ground with his feet to propel himself even higher and faster like a rocket, he made sure he’d be in front of the sun before he let out his starting move. Without announcing the name this time, he shot off a barrage of green cutting arcs of energy that was aimed at Toshio, but some of them were actually aimed at the ground around him so it’ll pick up dust and further impair his vision.

The young warrior would then quickly fly back into the ground the thrust two open palms out to send out a shockwave of wind used to knock Toshio back once more, and the clear out the dust so he could get a good eye on him also, in case he had slipped away. While he was doing this, Toshiro was focusing on the location of Toshio’s ki signature, something he made better use for now over sight. He then quickly sped up so he flew behind Toshio, attempting a flying kick to his back.

[Toshio Katsuo]

After his attack struck, he watched as the young man panted face first into the dirt, no doubt shocked by his ability to teleport and strike within a second from behind. After Toshiro regained his composure and shook the dirt off from his clothes, he questioned the move that he just did, asking if it was indeed teleportation. Smiling Toshio would open up his mouth to speak.

“A smart competitor doesn’t reveal information his most prized move to new strangers, at least not right away. You’re going to have to prove to me that you deserve the knowledge to know about it.”

He cracked a grin after he finished speaking, he could feel the young man’s ki and it didn’t seem devilish and he seemed like a good young man to know, however he wanted to spar with the young man more and maybe even learn more about the man’s personal life in order to reveal any more knowledge about the instant transmission. Toshio then got ready as Toshiro started to attack once more.

Toshio watched as he jumped into the air slightly before returning to the ground and this time using the ground to propel him even higher than before, as Toshio’s eyes followed the young man through the air, he watched as Toshiro would not unleash an attack until he was in front of the sun, forcing his body in shadow with rays of light reflecting around him to make it hard to see. Toshio squinted his eyes and before he knew it the same green arcs of energy before were coming down on him, Toshio questioning himself how he had not heard Toshiro shout out the attack this time. Toshio quickly raised his arms in defense as some of the arcs slammed against his arms once more, however he noticed some of them missed and was curious as to why until he saw the dust pile up around him and obscure his vision even more.

Toshio smiled as he had figured out what the young man was trying to do, he was trying to obscure his vision and then attack at the same time. That’s a very smart strategy he has, however eyes aren’t the only thing I rely on. Now focusing less on his vision and more on his ki sensing, he spotted Toshiro approaching from behind him attempting a kick to his back, smiling Toshio spread his legs out and performed a split, dodging the back blow, Toshio then quickly twisted his hips to the right, bringing his body and right leg around to face Toshiro, attempting to sweep, hopefully the now landed Toshiro off of his feet. If that succeeded, then hopefully the young man would be left floating in the air, hoping on that Toshio would quickly rise to his feet and attempt a karate chop to the young man’s chest, hoping that the force of the blow would send the long haired man hitting the ground and on his back.

[Raki Zakros]

“But you just showed me that technique out of nowhere, too bad I’m easily curious. Well then, I’ll just have to beat the information out of you.” Toshiro returned with a grin, but Toshio made a good point, might as well make him work for it. As he made his attack, he was sure he was hitting a blind spot with the couple of diversion up first.

To his amazement, he missed his attack, eyes widened at how Toshio did a split to evade it, which was totally unexpected on his part. “That’s really… amazing and cool…” he thought in marvel, he never even thought of dodging a move like that, Toshio sure was skilled no doubt. He ended up flying over his foe and quickly regain composure by stepping on the floor, back face briefly towards Toshio as he did.

“Oh no…” Toshiro realised his back was to his opponent too late and found himself being swept off his feet and into the air again, the human quickly spun himself around so he’d be facing Toshio properly in mid-air only to be met with an incoming karate chop to his chest. He instinctively tried to move his arms to block the blow but he was already stuck and hit the ground hard and found himself coughing on impact as dust flew up around them as well.

However despite that, Toshiro was stubborn and took the chance to grab Toshio’s arm with both hands as his hands were raised up half way anyway. “Heh, now it’s your turn, friend.” Toshiro grinned as he muscles suddenly bulged and his grip got tighter, the fighter then swung Toshio around so he’d be slamming his back on the ground next to him.

Toshiro took that impact to quickly force him upwards and airborne again, quickly putting his hands together by the wrists as he clawed then. “Eat this…ENERGY WAVE!” He yelled as he shot off a emerald green coloured basic energy wave from his hand at his hopefully immobile opponent.

[Toshio Katsuo]

Toshio was glad to see both of his attempted maneuvers succeed, both going just as he had planned. However, he was surprised when the young man grasped his arms tightly and managed to sling the Victory schoolteacher to the ground, his back slamming against the ground stirring up dust. Toshio chuckled but his quick laugh was ended when he noticed that the force from the swing had given Toshiro momentum to pull himself up off the ground. Before Toshio knew it, he heard the young man shout out an attack and saw the green beam of energy head toward him, putting up his arms, after a few seconds the green beam enveloped Toshio, burning and destroying the ground him as well. When the dust settled, Toshio’s body was nowhere to be found and it looked as if the schoolteacher was gone.

“Wooh…man that was close. Boy that was a pretty strong beam Heh heh.” Toshio stood floating in the air, a few yards behind Toshiro, his shirt and sleeves burned off and burn marks along his arms, hands and face. They weren’t bad and Toshio’s facial expression showed that he was glad he got out of their alive, even smiling and holding the back of his head. He then was shocked, as he looked down at the huge hole and damage the energy beam had caused, smiling he spoke once more. “That was quite the energy beam their Mr.Rei, I would have been surely toast if it hadn’t been for the Instant Transmission. That’s the name of my special technique, it’s very rare for anybody to even know about it let alone be able to utilize it to it’s full potential. Of course it’s also energy draining if used too much without the proper training. Now that I’ve told you a little about my special technique how about you divulge something about your unique fighting style. I’m eager to know more about it.”

When Toshio finished speaking, he started to move and crack his neck and other crack able areas, making sure that the energy beam hadn’t dealt too much internal damage before he managed to flee away. He felt fine, but you never knew until you started to move. Toshio hoped that the young man would tell him more about his style to give him more time to check things as well as learn more about the man he was sparring with.
