Arena Battle (Ethar VS Krillin)

[Deleted]

Having signed up for another fight against another legendary fighter, Ethar made his way into the arena with a upgraded arsenal of techniques under his belt. He came to win this time, and nothing wold stop him this time.

He heard the cheers of the souls that came to watch this upcoming battle. When they saw Ethar, He could hear some cheers from him, from deceased Norans, and Saiyans alike. He ventured onto the platform, and awaited to see who his legendary opponent would be. "You can do it Ethar. The more you train, the more powerful you can get. Signing up for these fights is what its all about." He thought to himself as he smiled.

Krillin had been resting peacefully with his family for several centuries now and hadn’t given two thoughts to fighting for even longer. It wasn’t until very recently that he had heard from his long time friend and former Z fighter, Yamcha that Other World had starting throwing fighting tournaments in a way to help entertain souls. Eighteen had begun to get on his case about not being a capable fighter anymore and with some goading by Yamcha the former Z fighter agreed. It took him a little while to find the arena but once there made his way to the fighting chamber.

Once there he switched into his old Z fighter outfit, and shaved his hair down to his once infamous appearance. One thing that some strange kai had cursed him with was a counter that seemed to count when he was “owned”. As it stood now it marked 733 ‘owned’ times, with a sigh he made his way down the dark tunnel to the arena with the counter following faintly behind him.

“Here we go…after all this time let’s see how I do,” Krillin said as he rolled his arms to loosen his shoulders.

In the Arena, Krillin could see his opponent. A Somewhat tall young appearing man, who had a sword strapped to his back. Unlike him, this young man was not known at all throughout heaven, and was a fairly new newcomer to the heaven combat scene.

Ethar saw the figure walking out towards him, and a sort of counter following him. Confused, Ethar walked over to Krillin, and saw just how much taller he was compared to him. "Excuse me, I dont mean to be forward, but whats that counter thing behind you?" He asked, as he had a closer look at the counter, as it seemed to be following him."Hmm... Anyways, Im Ethar, You must be the famous Krillin I signed up to combat today. A Pleasure to meet you." He said with a smile.

Krillin was relieved to see that he opponent was someone who appeared to be normal. After fighting monsters like Freeza, Cell and Majin Buu it was nice to know his opponent couldn’t just destroy everything by looking at it. At least not at his current power level, he had been fooled by how strong an opponent was before so he could not take him lightly. It was in that moment that he heard the man point out the counter that perpetually followed him. Just as Krillin went to respond he chose to hold his tongue. He was ashamed of it as it was and didn’t need any more torment over the fact that it was there.

“Nice to meet ya, Ethar. I hope you are ready for a fight cause I hope to give you one. You will have to bear with me though; it has been quite a long time since I have fought anyone. I think the last person that I fought was Yamcha and I beat him pretty easily.” Krillin laughed as he rubbed the back of his head.

“So when do these kind of things start? And how do I know when they do?” Krillin asked as he looked around the room at the thousands of souls that had arrived. Krillin shifted his weight slighted as he did so he would be ready for an attack if his opponent decided to launch a sneak attack.

[Deleted]

"Haha, You fought Yamcha to? I actually fought him before... He kicked my ass pretty good. But if you beat him, Heh, Might mean another win for you." He said, as he saw Krillin shift his weight, as he asked when these fights started.

"Well, They usually start as soon as the opponents see eachother. But I decided not to go right off the bat and attack, but I decided to get to know ya a bit. You seem like a nice guy and all, but a lil on the short side." He said, a bit embarrassed but he still smiled through it. While it was nice to meet someone like Krillin, Ethar knew that he would have to go back to his own paradise afterwards.

"Well, I guess we better get to it then. Cant keep the fans waiting." He said, as he turned around and started walking back to the other side of the arena. He stopped, and turned to look at him."Perhaps afterwards, we could hang out, and I can learn more about ya."

Krillin could not help but chuckle at the idea that Yamcha had beaten this guy. He was astonished that Yamcha was capable anymore of beating anyone. He seemed to lag greatly behind everyone else in his training after coming back from the dead and in preparation for Cell. But that didn’t matter at the current moment. What mattered was making his wife and daughter proud with a win.

“Alright Ethar you better be ready then cause here I come!”

Krillin said with a competitive smile on his face. He sank into his fighting stance and began to let his power limit rise to about where he felt Ethar’s power to be. He still had room to grow if for whatever reason Ethar was hiding some kind of transformation that Krillin did not know about. After waiting a moment to equalize the power level so that it was a fair fight Krillin launched forward. He threw three punches to the head, then two stiff leg kicks, followed up by a barrage to the body. This was just an opening salvo to figure out what Ethar was capable of and how the fight would go.

[Deleted]

"A fair fight is always the best one. I want to fight you at your best, and nothing short of it!" He said, as he unstrapped his sword, and tossed it to the side, incase he needed it. He felt Krillins powerlevel try to match his, and decided to play the game for a time being.

Ethar was surprised that a short guy like Krillin would go for the head first, but he managed to block the three punches, as well as the kicks with his own legs. Unfortunately that left his body open for the quick barrage that pushed Ethar back. Feeling some pain, but Ethar knew that nothing was broken yet. "Your holding back Krillin. Dont. Im not a Half Saiyan for nothing ya know." He said, as Ethar charged up several ki balls and threw them at Krillin.

If he were to dodge, he would find out that Ethar's ki attack would quickly turned around and attempt to hit him in the back. Ethar hoped that this fight with Krillin would yield much better results then his fight with Yamcha. He knew Krillin was in a higher tier, but he remembered what his father told him a long time ago. To always meet your limits, and break them. Thats how one becomes stronger.

If all went as planned, Ethar had an interesting plan to do Krillin a favour ,and get rid of that counter of his once and for all.

“Half saiyan? I have known plenty in my time. Funky group of misfits.” Krillin jested as he threw his attack as fast as he could. However Ethar appeared ready to receive it, good it means that he was going to have a challenging fight. Ethar formed several balls of ki and then threw them at the Z fighter. Krillin jumped out of the way and let them soar off into the distance. However before he was able to do anything else he noticed that the balls of energy were not going to continue traveling into the wall. They instead decided to turn an about face and started charging right back at Krillin.

He hesitated for a moment. It had been so long since he had fought anyone seriously that he skills had diminished significantly. He had to knock off the rust fast or this was going to be a blowout. Krillin leapt over the first ball of ki and smacked it with a good amount of force sending the ball towards Ethar with extra momentum. But due to the rust Krillin forgot about the second attack. It smashed into his back sending him flying forward slamming hard against the ground.

“God damn rust…” Krillin groaned.

[Deleted]

"Ya? You probably knew alot of good lookin women to." He said, as he watched his attack miss the first time, but came around for its second attack. He was pleased to see that atleast part of it hit him, but he held up his arm, as his shield emerged and blocked the attack, as a tiny crack formed in it.

He sat Kirllin groan, as Ethar started to charge energy. "You alright there Krillin?" He asked, as energy built up in his body. But then, his powerlevel started to grow exponentially, as Ethar's skin grew pale, as if his body had not seen the sun yet, as his eyes tured from handsome blue to ominous blood red. His fingernails grew longer and sharper as well as Ethars powerlevel quadrupled.

"I hope you are, cause I was just getting warmed up."

Krillin slowly pulled himself up to his feet brushing off the dust from his gi. He cracked his neck as he tried to find his fighting footing again. Things would only go downhill very fast unless he got his act together. Easy said than done when the only person he had fought in almost a thousand years was Yamcha and he was far from the greatest of the Z fighters. But then again this guy got beaten by Yamcha so he couldn’t be too tough.

When Krillin looked up all he saw was Ethar’s body beginning to change. He ended up looking like some kind of weird mutant animal humanoid more than a Saiyan did. With that his power level climbed to around 60,000 thousand which felt like his max however Krillin was not entirely sure of this. Keeping to what he was doing before Krillin matched his power as closely as he could.

“Well then don’t hold back. I have much more power to spare.” Krillin challenged back.

His hand then shot up flat in the air and a flat disk of energy formed above his hand. With a quick snap of his arm the disk of energy flew from his hand heading towards. The ki attack was designed to cut through almost anything in the universe. He remembered back when Krillin fought Nappa that Vegeta told him to get out of the way because there was no way of blocking that attack. The disk flew towards his target of Ethar, his intention wasn’t to cripple him for the rest of eternity but at the same time he wasn’t going to lose.

“Destructo disk!”

[Deleted]

Ethar grinned as Krillin powered up a bit to, but not even close to what he had, but it would suffice for the time being, as he saw the Z Fighter create an attack that looked like a disk above his head, as it was quickly thrown at him.

Luckily, Ethar was quicker in his transformed state, as he waited for the last minute, and jumped over the attack, allowing it to soar underneath him. "Ohohoh, Lets have some fun now shall we?" He said, as he held out his hand, and dragged his sharp nails across it, drawing some blood as his Ki turned red in colour. "Shades of Night!" He said, as he threw a ball of the red energy into the sky.

The ball suddenly burst, as what light that shined on the arena was slowly snuffed out. The sky turned black as a blood red moon slowly emerged into the sky, as Ethar seemed to pretty much disappear. At Krillians current powerlevel, it would be severely difficult to tell where Ethar even was, let alone know when an attack was headed at him.

Using the cover of the new night, Ethar charged at Krillin in an attempt to send a kick straight to the little mans gut. He didnt want to over do his attacks, since Krillin was as close to a real friend he had in heaven for a while

The arena went dark as a blood moon began to rise in the sky as Krillin’s eyes tried to adjust the new lighting. He could no longer see Ethar which normally would be disconcerting but Krillin simply stopped repressing his power. His power began to rise to his max which was right around 120,000. He could just barely feel his energy which worried Krillin. He knew that if he was able to pin point his exact location he would be able to keep Ethar within his sights.

That however was easier said than done as he felt a solid kick land to his mid section. He stumbled backwards as another strike suddenly came to the back of his head. His face was pushed into the dirt and dragged for several inches. “Ow…okay that is not fun.” Krillin groaned as he rolled over back onto his feet. He had to figure out how to counter this technique of that incessant owned counter was going to continue to rise. Thus far he had not received another owned mark but it was not out of reason to assume that he continued to take a beating without a counter then it would no doubt go up. It would take him a short time to figure out how to counter him but in the mean time he just prepared for the on coming assault.

[Deleted]

Ethar smirked to himself, as his attacks hit Krillin dead on. He sorta felt bad for attacking him in a situation that was as cheap as this, but a win is a win, no matter how cheap it was. Thanks to his Noran sight, he could see Krillin much better then he could see Ethar, and planned to use that to his advantage.

After his first barrage of attacks hit, and he saw Krillin ready to take on another attack, he decided to go for a full frontal attack. Got onto his hands and knees, and concentrated his focus onto Krillin, as he suddenly rushed at him, executing his Meteor Combination technique, as he attempted to elbow Krillin right in his face.

If he was successful, he would continue his assault by quickly following up with Multiple kicks to his chest, and head, followed up by a strong punch to his stomach.
