Learning something new. (Kirei)

[Deleted]

Walking into the training simulator with Kirei behind him, she had agree'd to help Ethar grow stronger, but under her terms. And that made Ethar very nervous about this training session with her, "So what do you wanna do first Kirei?" He asked.

He slowly closed the door behind her, and locked them inside so they couldnt be distrubed, no matter what the emergency was. HE knew he had to regian his strength at all and any costs, and saw that training with Kirei could help him a long way. "Oh by the way, I noticed that when we first met, you were acting a lil weird... Everything alright?"He asked, somewhat confused as he remembered back on the road when they first met.

[Kirei]

Ethar had wanted to become stronger in battle. A more independent and capable warrior. Ethar closed the door and asked a question about her reaction to first seeing him. Kirei slowly walked across the room and turned around facing Ethar. She went into her fighting stance before speaking.

"It was nothing important. You want to become stronger, faster, more capable, and everything above? Well get ready because I'm holding nothing back. I am going to help you the only way I know how. Through humiliation and embarrassment. That is what will drive you to become better than you are. That is what will drive you to need no one, but yourself. Now as of right now you have one or two choices. That's fight, or fight? Your move."

Kirei made it plain and simple that Ethar was in for the most terrifying training session of his life. Little did he know it was her way of escaping the truth. There was no way she could tell him that he resembles someone close to her. Someone she barely met not too long ago holding that type of information is unthinkable. She would help him any way she can. She strangely felt obligated to.

[Deleted]

Ethar watched as she got into her battle stance already as she somewhat answered his question. "So you wanna go right off the bat eh? Fine with me." He said, as he took off the strap that held his sword to his back, and tossed the entire thing to the side. His sword clanging on the floor as Ethar clenched his fists.

He let out a deep breath, as he mumbled, "Its go time." as he suddenly took off running right at Kirei, intending to throw a powerful punch to her left shoulder, and would attempt to follow up with a sweep with his right leg against her own legs in an attempt to throw her off balance.

[Kirei]

Ethar came charging in like a mad man at Kirei. Kirei was surprised and a little happy that Ethar had the heart to charge right in. However it was also quite foolish of him. Kirei allowed the punch to land and it hit on her left should and she strengthened her leg once she knew a leg sweep was coming in. The leg sweep connected, but Kirei's legs didn't move an inch. Kirei would wait for Ethar to rise before she would attempt to push him with both hands with most of her power.

"What was that? Are you going to fight me or bore me to death!"

Kirei had made up her mind it was now her turn to get in some offense. She would run toward Ethar with a elbow smash to the right side of his head and follow it with a right open palm strike to his chest. She would throw the attack with the intent of giving him time to either dodge or counter. Seeing as how she was practically fool power during their spar it may hurt him a bit to counter, but Kirei could see the spirit of a warrior inside of Ethar. It was up to her to help him bring that spirit out full force.

[Deleted]

Ethars leg felt like it hit a solid wall. "Damn, my strength has really dropped in those 500 years..." He said, as he saw her arm move up to counter attack, as he quickly used his own arm to block the attack, but failed to see the opened palm attack to his chest that caught him off guard. The force put pressure on his chest, as he fell backwards, but quickly got up to his feet and actually started to laugh.

"Hah, Good. Havent had this much fun already in 500 years!" He said, as he quickly backed away to put some distance between them, as he rushed at her again, spraying a few ki shots to distract her. If he would get close enough, He would attempted to slam his elbow into her, in an attempt to atleast make her move backwards. If successful, He would follow up with multiple powerful kicks to her chest area and finish up with a very powerful paralyzing punch to her stomach.

(Note: This is Ethars 'Meteor Combination' technique. If the elbow attack hits, the other attacks hit as well, as it is a large combo technique)

[Kirei]

Kirei was right about Ethar's heart and warrior spirit as he seemed to be enjoying himself. It placed a smile on her face to see him as such. Ethar was up and running again as he fired ki blasts at Kirei while charging. No doubt it was to get an opening and an opening Kirei would give him. She slapped away the ki blast with a bit too much ease, and as his opening revealed itself Ethar landed an elbow into her abdomen. Once the elbow connected it was as if time froze or went in slow motion.

Ethar's hair was flowing as the wind swirled up due to Ethar's movements. There eyes locked briefly and a smirk could be seen on Ethar's face. Kirei knew that he had something big planned and wanted to see what it was exactly. Look at him. He's so driven and determined to become an amazing warrior. I admire his spirit and only wish for it to grow. Kirei was smiling wide inside but made sure not to allow the smile to show on her face.

Time seemed to return to normal as kicks hit and landed all over Kirei. They were strong, but not strong enough to cause her to truly react to them in pain. However, Kirei wanted to test his battle prowess and his wits. She was going to play a little game. Kirei would twist and turn and show the effects of the blows all over her face in an effort to get Ethar to believe he was actually doing more damage than he really was. Ethar then landed a blow that could have possibly been his most powerful. Kirei folds over the blow with her eyes opened wide. She face plants into the floor and awaits Ethar's reaction.

If he took the bait and came closer to check on her she would launch a powerful uppercut strong enough to draw blood from almost any foe. If he didn't well she would have to give him credit, but the offense would soon be hers again after doing so.

[Deleted]

Ethar smiled as his blows seemed to land on her and have their desired effect on her. After his paralyzing punch, Ethar wouldnt go to check to see if she was alright, but instead he leapt up high above her, and floated in mid air. "Dragooon..." He started to say, as he moved his hands to his sides, as two balls of energy formed in his hands and rapidly grew in size. "Flaaash" He added, as the balls grew to the size of baseballs.

The final part, would possibly hurt Kirei the most came, as Ethar moved the two balls together as he thrusted his palms down towards her. "WAVE!" He shouted, as the energy burst from his hand in a beam towards Kirei, as the head of the beam changed shape to form a Dragon that roared at Kirei as it moved down to her to hit her head on. If it hit, It would cause a very decently sized explosion, no matter what it hit.

[Kirei]

Ethar was smarter than the average warrior and this was good, but he seemed to be going for a devastating blow. Kirei quickly back flips up from her position and looks up at Ethar. It was only a matter of time before the blast would come raining down on her, but she was always one step ahead in this case. She had a plan that may work to perfection. Ethar fired the massive blast and it took the shape of a dragons head.

Kirei smirked as she waited until the last possible second to jump back and allow the blast to crash to the ground. The size and power of the blast would kick up anything and everything and she would use that cloud to act. The blast hits and she leaps back just in time and as the cloud began to engulf them she made her way around Ethar to being right above him. Ethar had let out a nice move and now it was Kirei's turn.

She placed her left palm in front of her and pink energy formed in her hand. "BEAUTIFUL!" The energy had now grew brighter as if it was going to burn her hand. Once she shouted Ethar would figure out what was going on, but Kirei wanted to see his reaction. She cared not of what he was expecting. "ARROOOWWW!" Kirei fired her Beautiful Arrow and large pink colored ki bolts were beaming down toward Ethar. Kirei laughs in excitement as it has been some time she she's even attempted to have fun. He the attack hit it could damage Ethar pretty good, and if it missed there would be plenty of things destroyed.

[Deleted]

Ethar watched as his attack created a good sized hole in the floor, and saw no sign of Kirei. "I couldnt of vaporized her... Where is..." He started to ask himself, as he felt her energy above him.

He quickly looked up to see pink energy bolts fly at him. Panicking, he quickly charged up Ki bolts as best as he could, and tried to block them with his own blasts, however they easily over powered his own bolts, and slammed into him. The force of the attack caused him to fall to the ground, hitting the floor hard. "I-Im fine...Just a few...dents.." He said, as he slowly got up to his feet.

He looked up to her with a glare, as he walked over to his sword and unsheathed it. Holding it firmly in his hands, he said "No more games!" as he leapt into the air, and flew at her at high speeds, as he aimed his blade...at her tail!

[Kirei]

Ethar tried to counter with his own ki bolts, but to no avail as Kirei's special move rained down on Ethar sending him crashing into the ground. Kirei became a bit worried as her attack did more than what she anticipated. Ethar rose up from the ground seemingly extremely pissed off. He reached for his sword and scream no more games. Once those words were spoken Kirei finally went to her max possible output in her current form.

Ethar leaping into the air with his sword in hand. He was ready to slice Kirei like pie and was gunning for her tail. Kirei quickly descended onto the ground with the slice missing her tail and coming close to her head instead. Ethar seemed as though he would not stop there just because he missed. His eye had a look of anger that Kirei believed those eyes could never hold. She had no choice but to reason with him, or this could get out of hand.

"Ethar, calm down! You seem a bit upset! Maybe we should slow down the pace before this gets all out of hand, because I promise you that I will not hold back!"

Kirei wanted to calm the situation down, but she couldn't look weak. She may have just escalated the situation, but then it dawned on her. What better way to get him to fight his hardest or to give him the best training than when he's pissed. Ethar was in a mode to where he was ready for a fight and a fight was exactly what he was going to get. Kirei was done holding back on Ethar. If he wanted power he would have to earn it.

Kirei dashed up toward Ethar in an attempt to land a knee to his gut and to follow it up with an elbow to the back of the head if the knee hit, and caused Ethar to slouch over. She was in high gear and wanted Ethar to know what it was like to have his life in danger, to have every landed blow feel like being hit by a big rig, and to show him where he was trying to go in terms of power. It was unorthodox and could backfire horrible, but it was worth a shot.

"COME ON ETHAR! YOU WANT POWER! COME AND EARN IT!"

Kirei was challenging his manhood, but most of all...his pride.

[Deleted]

Ethar was better prepared for her assault as he turned, and saw her approaching him quickly with an intent of smashing him up good. But since he knew better then to just float there, being a easy target, he quickly poured on a burst of speed, and soared up even higher above her and gazed down at her. "Ill admit your strong and fast... But lets see how you stand up, to everything I got! Take... MY SUPER NORAN WRAAATH!" He shouted, as he quickly charged up two large energy balls in his hands, and threw them towards her.

Oh but was he finished there? Nope. Following his dual balls of death, Ethar charged up another ball in his hands, and launched a large beam towards her. It seems that Ethars anger had gotten a good grip on him, as Ethar had unleashed enough power to level half an unprepared city. After unleashing his hellish barrage of attacks, Ethar remained floating in mid air, panting heavily.

[Kirei]

Kirei was going to punish him if the attacks landed but Ethar flew even higher into the air. It was clear his anger became to much for him to control and Kirei hated it, but she may have only one choice left. She would have to put Ethar in his place, or put him down and out. Ethar was yelling at Kirei and preparing for war it seemed. Kirei focused her power and began to go beyond her current limit. She had shown no one her 2nd form not even her father, but Ethar... Ethar would be the first.

A white glow engulfed Kirei as she began to transform. Ethar had charged up two huge ki balls while Kirei was transforming. Kirei grew in height and also had horns sprouting from the top of her head as if she were a demon. Ethar launched his attack as the white glow disappeared. Dust quickly kicked up as the attacks made there way for Kirei. She placed out both of her hands holding the attacks as if they were newborn babies. However, Ethar wasn't done by a long shot. He launched a huge beam down at Kirei and an evil smirk appeared across her face.

The attack beamed down on Kirei as she held the previous attack in her hands. The orbs exploded on contact with the beam and swallowed Kirei whole. Ethar, breathing heavily, carefully watched Kirei and waited for the smoke to clear. When it did he would see smoke rising from Kirei's body. She waved the smoke out of her face laughing as if taunting Ethar.

"Do you feel that? This is my power compared to yours. What you feel now is pain, sorrow, destruction....death. I could easily kill you right now without the slightest effort on my part, but I want to drag this out as long as possible. You've caused me to go to a place that I locked away. Never was it to be revealed to anyone, but you... you have caused me to unveil such power. Now my dear Ethar, now you will see the power you so desire. MJy anger knows no bounds and your life if what it'll take to quell it."

Kirei came of absolutely sinister as if she'd snapped as well. If only Ethar knew it was all a ruse. Kirei had no intentions of hurting Ethar. She doubt she could ever do such a thing, but she will push him farther than he's ever been. She would give the impression that she is going to squash him out, but she wanted him to fight. She wanted him to wear himself out until he couldn't go anymore, and Kirei will do this without throwing a single punch. Kirei readied herself and charged at Ethar. She didn't have her fist cocked back or a knee ready to lunge. She simply wanted Ethar to fight.

[Deleted]

Ethar saw her transform into a form he had never seen before. He was in shock when he saw her catch his two orbs, but smiled as his beam made them detonate, he knew that she would catch them, but not in a new form. But never the less, his plan worked as he saw her form vanish in the smoke.

But what came next, ruined him emotionally as he saw her standing there, not even scratched. His fists unclenched themselves as he was speechless. He didnt know what to do now, as Kirei had taken his best attack and didnt even flinch or even seem damaged. He said her charging at him, as he clenched his fists again, and knew he had to meet her head on this time, as he tried to focus his energy and transform into his Soif du Sang form that quadrupled his power.

However, something seemed wrong, as Ethar didnt transform, even his aura didnt flare up. "What the hell is going on here? I cant transform?!" He said, as Kirei was less then three meters away from him. He quickly threw up his hands, and quickly said "Time out! Time Out!"

[Kirei]

Kirei was soaring high and fast and Ethar suddenly calls for a time out. Kirei stops dead in her tracks and stares at Ethar. She nods and reverts back to her first form. SHe wasn't going to hurt him. She just wanted him to fight his hardest. Just because it was training didn't mean he had the right to fight any less. Kirei shook her head a bit disappointed and glide back down to the ground quite gracefully.

"Ethar, you must know that I was never going to hurt you. I was all a ruse to get you to fight me as if we truly crossed the line of playful training. I'm sorry if I gave you reason to be alarmed. I just... I just wanted...wanted to help. I'm sorry Ethar, maybe I'm not cut out for this training thing."

Kirei was saddened at the fact that she may have scared Ethar. She didn't know what she was feeling. All kinds of thoughts and emotions ran through her head. Was it his shocking features that resembled her adoptive father? It couldn't be, because something else was growing inside her. An emotion that was strange. Kirei looked down to the ground to hide her face from Ethar. He may believe it's because he though Kirei had gotten serious. Truth was, she was just so damn confused as to what in the hell was going on.

[Deleted]

Ethar listened to her, and smiled softly as he followed her down to the ground. "Its ok Kirei. Its not your fault at all, I was actually having alot of fun fighting against ya. Granted, when you transformed and stopped my best attacks, it kinda stunned me for a minute or so." He said, as he dropped his sword to the ground, and threw his arms around her in a hug. "In all my years of living, Your one of the few people who have been so nice to me. Im honoured to have you by my side." He said, his cheeks a bit red, as he would slowly let her go.

"The reason why I had to call a time out... Is becuase my body isnt functioning like it used to...I...I cant seem to power up or transform anymore!" He said, with a very strong look of worry and fear in his eyes. Something a Saiyan would normally never show. "I think there is something very wrong with me Kirei."
