Kaula Inside the training area of the Avalon, Walker was waiting patiently. He had arranged to meet up with Kaula once again, both to spar, and to apologize for the almost-racism charge he had nearly brought against her. He hoped she would understand what he meant, as he had gotten rid of all the flyers. Hefting his new blade, the tree examined the edge. It was well-enforced with Ki, but it amused him that technically, this was weaker than his own wood when uninfused. Swinging the thick blade a bit, he slid it into the sheath on his back, and looked around. His outfit had changed somewhat since the original, rather simple set of clothing he wore. The hood and cloth pauldrons were still there, as was the strange cross between a robe and a loin-cloth that hung down his lower body, hiding nothing whatsoever. However, over that sat a new suit of weighted armor, with arm-guards and leg protectors as well. The suit resembled the armor used by Majin "Berserkers", but without the spikes or armored headpiece. On his back hung a large scabbard, containing the heavy blade he was carrying around. While he had not managed to come up with anything tremendously complicated, there was still benefit to having a weapon, if only for intimidation. Being cut was scarier than being punched. The weight of his armor was a bit draining, but he had learned to fight with the armor on. It DID cut his capabilities by a fourth, but he had managed to find a way to remove it in an emergency, and the training benefit was incredible. He had risen, in the past month, by nearly 25 times his original strenght, and he was still improving. Frowning, he looked around. Kaula still wasn't here. Touching his forehead, he projected a telepathic message to the surly saiyan. "Ms. Kaula, are you coming?"

[Heavy Weights on] [Noteworthy to say we are using the Avalon dojo. This allowed? Not sure, Reikiko isn't on to ask.]
Kaula reached up to her chest, tugging on the strap that ran across her chest. It seemed the Saiyan girl had a new toy. Said toy being a longsword, well a longsword to her considering how short she was. She sighed, a hand reaching up to try to adjust the sunglasses except.. They weren't there now. She had been doing that on instinct, and since she chose to ditch them while she was in Avalon, she was just trying to get used to it. Luckily enough for him, though, she hadn't yet heard about the whole flyer thing.
And Walker wasn't the only one with a new wardrobe. Kaula was still wearing the weighted vest and boots, along with the chest plate. But her pants, having been a bit ruined since last time she left, had been changed for a different pair that seemed to have knee pads, cut from the same material as the chest plate it seemed. ... And that was pretty much it. She was simply making her way down one of the roads towards the dojo.
It was right outside the dojo when suddenly she heard him! Walker! Was he nearby!? she spun around to glance behind her.. But.. He wasn't there.. She started to look around slowly, "Walker..? Are you.. Invisible..?" she'd ask as she stood there. Kaula continued to look around for a few moments before moving to start walking towards the area, "If you are.. Invisible Walker.. I will see you.. Inside." she stated with a slow nod.
When she finally got in there, a hand running through that glorious mane of hers.. She noticed Walker there! She slowly went to approach him, "Hey, Barkington. Thought I heard ya outside."

As the young Semi-Saiyan entered the dojo, Walker turned to face her, waving as she walked in. "Ah, Ms. Kaula, there you are." Now that he was visible, it was clear that the tree was not opening his mouth as he spoke. "Mr. Scargot taught me Telepathy, thus allowing me to speak with my mind. It's quite convenient." Pausing, he glanced off to the side, seemingly considering something. With a sudden movement, he knelt and bowed deeply, a troubled tone coming to his words as his mouth finally opened.
"I am very sorry for the misunderstanding. I don't know if Mr. Cipher had explained this to you, but I accidentally interpreted an image of you as one promoting a clothing drive for a cat-based alien species." Shaking his head, he continued to bow, fully unaware of the fact that outside, a few BBA soldiers who could here his speech were holding their mouths, giggling like schoolgirls. One of the men was slamming his fit on the ground, tears running down his face. The trio were familiar with the magazine in question, and had in fact been looking at each other in shock as they recognized Kaula entering the Dojo.
Still speaking, Walker elaborated. "I realized my error after seeing Mr.Cipher's reaction. I apologize for being unaware of the fact that you were tricked into a racist propaganda magazine shoot. I doubt you would willingly mock another race, even if they are rivals to the Saiyans, as I suspect. Though, I am curious. Do they transform into giant cats?' Standing up, he managed to miss Kaula's reaction to his words. "Barkington" unsheathed his sword, bringing it up in one hand. His Ki began to gather, and his eyes narrowed. "Well then, I see you have a sword as well. Smaller, to be sure, but it's skill that will decide a fight."

Kaula went to wave to Walker when she had seen him. "Yeah. Had something I needed to take care of. So, obviously I was a little be late." she said as she stuck her hands on her hips. Wait. He wasn't.. Opening his mouth? Was he doing that thing that the humans do with the puppet on their lap, only without the puppet? "Oh. Telepathy? Speaking with your mind? That's fucking awesome!" she said with a big smile before she paused in thought. "Scargot.. That's the.. Kami-dude you spoke about before? Reikiko's dad?" she asked with a slow shrug. "And.. That telepathy. Can anyone learn it? Or do you have to be special or something?" she asked as she noticed him kneel down. That was.. Odd. Kinda. She tilted her head slowly.
Kaula remained silent as Walker explained. She just sorta stared at him, her eye twitching a little bit. It looked like she'd get a bit mad, but she eventually just sighed, relaxing a little. "Get up, you fool." she said, a hand moving from her side to place on her hip to take up a pretty sassy pose. "It's alright. Probably every guy in the world has seen the magazine by now. I mean, Hikari has so.." she went to shrug. "I don't mind at all. Besides. The magazine company will probably make me rich and stuff 'cause I'm all totally popular." Kaula seemed to take it well. "Now.. Cipher.. He's that one guy.. With the girl.. And all? I kinda remember them. I think. The girl was pretty nice, at least." she said with a slow shrug.
However.. As he continued.. Kaula seemed to understand that Walker didn't seem to exactly understand what it was for. She blinked and went to shake her head. "No. It wasn't racist.. Propaganda.." she said as she scratched at her head. "You see.. Uhh.. I was dressed like that.. Because some people.. Uhh.. You see.. Some men and women like seeing women dressed in certain clothing.. Or in my case, in a lack of clothing.. And.. You see.." she was dropping the bomb on this. She couldn't explain it. "Some people just.. Like looking at pictures like that." she said with a frown. She couldn't answer this. However, he seemed to draw a sword so she reached to her back, drawing her own. It seemed to be a one and a half hand sword, also known as a long sword. She held it in her right hand and went to chuckle out a little bit, "Alright. If you want to challenge me to a fight like this, I don't mind."
Kaula would take the first move, walking around Walker a few steps before she'd leap off the ground. She decided to come from above, her sword at the ready to strike as she came down on him!

Walker had paused in his preparation to duel, listening to Kaula's "Explanation." Naturally, this cleared up nothing whatsoever, but it did enlighten him slightly. Apparently, there was some aspect of other biological creatures he did not yet understand, that had to do with clothing. He had assumed most wore it for protection or style. Perhaps this explained why people kept looking startled when he took off his armor, or asking about his gender. Ms. Kaula seemed to have a blade as well, although hers was more of a regular sized blade.
Walker's sword was large, rather rectangular, and flat at the end. The corners were angled, but there was no tip. It resembled a giant razor, or perhaps more accurately to it's intent, a guillotine blade. Bringing his own blade up, he moved back quickly, leaving the two edges to clatter against each other. It was a rather quick exchange of blows, but between two people with reasonably serious Ki levels, the two blades moved the air itself. Walker moved back quickly, then brought his sword forward, held diagonally in front of him. "Come on then, Ms. Kaula. I have a few new things I'd like to try..." Turtling a bit, he waited a moment for the Saiyan to move, and if she did not, went on the offensive himself.
Bringing his blade around in a sideways slash, whether to parry or attack, this was merely intended as a cover for his real intent. Bringing his other hand up, a Ki orb blossomed into his palm, the energy a different shade from his usual dark purple. The emerald ball exploded, forming a dish like-shape, almost like a shield. The blast was thrown at as close to point-blank range as possible, but unfortunately for Walker, his inexperience with this new technique idea left it rather easy to dodge, provided one move back sufficiently.

Kaula was almost a little bit bit glad he didn't seem to have asked more about it. She didn't think that she would have been able to explain any more of it, if she was asked. Still, as their blades clashed, Kaula slowly lowered herself till her feet touched the ground. After that, she started to hop back a few times, laughing a little bit. "Good block." she'd say as she inspected his.. Odd.. Shaped.. Blade. Weird. It was large. Definitely larger then her own. Unlike her's, which had a blade of a normal sword, his was.. What? Wider? Well, it was simply just larger, all around. She had actually wondered if it was made out of metal, or not.
She rolled her shoulders a little bit, "Go ahead and try all the new things you want. You'll need them if you want to beat me!" she said, all cocky and what have you. As the sudden wave strike was launched towards her, she moved to jump up, flipping in the air as she simply dodged over the new move. Luckily enough she was far enough back to be able to do that. "It'll take more then that to beat me!"
Still, once the Hybrid landed, the Saiyan pushed off the ground again as she launched herself into a quick sprint towards Walker, sword at the ready. She didn't strike once she got there, she suddenly ducked, however. From the crouched position, she struck, trying to drive her sword for an upwards stab, at an angle, in an attempt to hit the tree person that way.

Eyes wide, Walker tried to right himself after the over-extension, but it wasn't quite quick enough. As he returned to a guarded state, the smaller Saiyan sprung forward, then up. Her blade impacted his chest, but didn't quite impale him. Instead, the backwards leap turned a potentially dangerous stab into a cut. A deep cut, but still. The tree was not particularly dependent on things like "Organs" or "Veins". Even so, being impaled would be quite poor for his health. The last time he had gotten injured, one of the BBA medics had begun pouring Miracle-Grow all over him, looking confused when nothing happened. It had take an explanation about his natural regeneration and the actual effects of fertilizer to get the medic to comprehend how silly that was.
Bringing his sword up to bear, the bioroid spun, whipping his body around. As he did so, his arm extended, turning the sword slash into a much longer attack. Snapping forward to meet his returning arm, he began a flurry of slashes toward Ms. Kaula, trying to break past the guard of the other blade. His was much larger, but lighter. It was thinner, for one, and had no hilt, but with the addition of centrifugal force, it became much harder to simply block. It was a Guillotine blade, after all. They had been used by dropping from great heights. This was merely moving it sideways.
Still slashing, his other arm up in a ready position, Walker called out to Kaula. "Ms. Kaula, why did you decide to take up swordfighting as well? Did Ms. Reikiko suggest it to you?" Pausing for a moment, he moved back, ceasing the assault, and taking up a different stance. The blade was held in both hands now, and he was waiting for the girl to strike. "You seem very close to Ms. Reikiko. I'm glad you two are getting along." A thought occurred, and he said, innocently, "Is she the reason you decided to wear the cat costume? She seems to like cats, given that tiger she found."

If she hadn't nearly stabbed walker the same way before, she'd have almost panicked when her attack landed. Gone all "Oh my kami, are you okay walker?" or something of that sorts. But, still, Kaula went to slowly slide her blade out of the tree man, grumbling softly as she did. She gave another cocky grin as she stared at him, "Gotta be quicker then that, Walker. C'mon." she'd say as she took a few steps back.
However, he managed to catch her off guard pretty easily. She raised her blade up to try to guard against the flurry of slashes, however it wasn't enough and her guard was easily broken, and she was slashed on her arms and even her weighted vest took a slash or two. However, she soon went to bring her other hand to the hilt so she could grip the blade with both hands as she tried to bring it back up to block some of the remaining slashes. "I didn't simply pick it up." she said with a soft huff, her tail flicking to the side, "My Aunt had taught me a bit. I just hadn't bothered getting a new sword until recently. And no. She didn't." she stated before hopping back and away from the blade.
"Of course I am close to her. I said I'd protect her." it was true. She wanted to help the girl recover her memories. But she still didn't want to admit that she had originally been here simply because there was a chance the girl could make her a super saiyan. It was.. More then just that, now. She cared for the girl. Swore that no harm would come to her. Though, when she was asked about the cat costume, Kaula blushed a bit. "What..? I-.. No. Though.. She seemed to like it. So I continued it." she stated. Right. She should get back to the battle.
Kaula went to start circling around the bio android rather quickly. She wanted to use her speed to an advantage and was trying to maybe make him a bit dizzy, if he followed her. However, the girl would soon tighten her grip at the sword, trying to push her Ki into the weapon. Trying to simply focus on something that her aunt had tried to talk to her. She just had to.. Let it flow. Be all loose and tight at the same time, somehow. Or whatever her aunt had actually said. However, upon getting behind the tree person, her sword would suddenly erupt into green Ki. It looked similar to that green ki-blade she had sometimes used with her hand, except now it was somehow around her sword's blade. "LET'S TRY THIS!" she shouted as she brought her blade up, leaping towards him as she brought her blade around to try to get a backslash in on the Bioroid!

Walker was still puzzling over why Kaula had gotten so red about the cat costume question, when suddenly, with almost no warning, the girl was behind him. He hissed in irritation with himself. The conversation had distracted him, and now the price was coming. Still, there was perhaps a slight chance. Ms. Kaula was not the only one with a sword technique. Bringing his blade sharply around, stepping back rapidly as he did so, the Bioroid concentrated his Ki into the edge as he swung, the blade taking on an emerald sheen of energy as he did so. "CHLOROPHYLL CHOPPER!" The two swords clashed, but Walker found himself worse off in the exchange. He had blocked, but the force of the other blow was still greater, sending him skidding backwards. Catching himself, it was still obvious he had taken damage. Thankfully, it was not a beam battle, but the difference in power level behind the two attacks had not been in his favor. Turning, the tree moved into an odd stance. It looked like he was holding the blade to his own chin with his left arm, his right held out in front of him with the elbow slightly bent. His feet slid into a widespread position, and he shifted so that his side was facing Kaula, like some strange cross between the stance of a fencer and a praying mantis. "I suppose I should attempt to mix things up, as clearly a direct assault is not going in my favor. Crouching slightly, Walker sprung forward. Midway through his leap, he kicked the ground again, sending him into a sudden, sideways spin. It looked almost too perfect, and the tree would admit if asked that he had cheated a bit, using his flight to enable the acrobatic maneuver. His arm uncoiled from his chin like the blade of a weed wacker, slicing the area below him, hopefully where Kaula was, to be followed a second later by a punch from his coiled right arm. Landing, he leapt back, observing the effects of his sudden aerial-based strike. It was an odd maneuver, but there was no room for hesitation in combat. Even if it was a Spar, Ms. Kaula was a very strong person, and he did not want to fall behind her. It was fun fighting with the Saiyan girl. Perhaps this was what it was like to have a rival.

[Turn two of three of [MP3]Maestoso Saber]
The Saiyan was grinning like a little minx when she thought she was being all clever. However.. It seemed that mister Walker was decent enough to be able to not only turn around. Not only use a technique, but also block her own attack! Now that was impressive. She hopped back again, seems she did that a lot. "Heh. Surprised me there, you're a lot quicker then I thought you would be." she explained as she glanced around the dojo for a moment. However, when she looked back to Walker, he seemed to be holding his blade.. Oddly. Not only that, the tree bio android seemed to have an all around odd stance. She was still inspecting him when he seemed to speak. Make things interesting? She thought things were already interesting, but she'd want to see what he thought was interesting.
"Go on, then. You'll probably need it." the Saiyan said with a cocky chuckle. Whatever it was, she was sure she would be ready. She watched him charged forward, Kaula bringing her blade up to get ready to dodge. However.. He seemed to launch into the air. Was he.. He was spinning! It seemed almost slightly unnatural how he was spinning through the air. Like.. He couldn't naturally do that. Still, the woman raised her blade up to block the first strike from the tree biodroid's blade. However, the punch is what caught her off guard. She got hit by that full force, stumbling back a little bit as she let out a soft grunt, a hand reaching up to rub at her face after she had been punched. Well, at least she wasn't bleeding.
Kaula rolled her shoulders a bit before letting out a soft huff. She wasn't going to let one hit get her down. Still, it was her turn. She'd ready her, currently, green glowing blade before she rushed forward. It seemed to be more of the same where she was circling the tree bio android. Was she going to attack from behind again? Likely. However, that is exactly what she WANTED him to think, of course. She paused behind him, motioning to charge towards him, however last second she'd move to leap over him, turning in the air to face him. Once there, she charged forward, planning on simply slashing towards Walker with her blade before she stepped back, letting out a soft huff. She had to agree that Walker was strong. Not as strong as that Yami no Reikiko.. But still strong. "You've been getting stronger." she'd comment.

Walker grunted in pain as the slice opened up a cut on his back, but he didn't let the attack phase him too much. Really, it was his own fault for leaving himself open like that. He had expected the attack to come from behind, but then again, he had performed much the same trick only moments before. It was no great surprise that the Saiyan had responded in kind. Bowing slightly as he faced her again, he smiled, acknowledging the compliment. "I appreciate you saying so. I said that I would become a Knight of Avalon, and I intend to fulfill that duty." Bringing his blade up again, he held it out in front of himself, then charged forward.
His arm extended again, but this time, it was more than mere height advantage. His arm literally elongated, carrying the blade with it in his clenched hand, stabbing forward like a spear or halberd. Presuming he did not entirely impale his sparring partner, and merely hit her, as he was intending, the attack would continue past. As he got closer, the tree brought his arm back for another punch, disguising his real intentions.
The hand holding the blade shifted, turning it from being held straight forward, to a 90 degree angle from the wrist. Now sideways, the tree's elongated limb coiled back inwards, bringing the back end of the blade toward Ms. Kaula's legs in an attempt to trip her up. If his punch to the upper torso didn't unbalance her, surely this would. Either way, the combo would be followed up by a high kick, whether to finish, or merely to get a limb between himself and a possible riposte, it wasn't yet clear. As the series of moves finished, Walker spoke once more. "I may be strong, but I am also an artificial being. You were born, not made to be a weapon, and you have surpassed me in strength twice now. Direct some admiration at yourself, Ms. Kaula." Bringing himself back into the stance from before, he finished, "I may only be a living weapon, but if I have any choice in the matter, I will ensure I am sent into war for the benefit of the many, not the few and greedy."

[Turn three of three of [MP3]Maestoso Saber]
Kaula grinned after she got the slice in on her friend. However, she hesitated for a moment. Was she really injuring Walker? It took the Saiyan a moment or two for her to remember that the tree man can regenerate and that made her feel a bit less bad about slashing him up with her sword. She barely had time to get out of her mind when he went to charge forward. She was ready, though! She simply moved to the side to avoid the stab, grinning a bit before she realized he was doing it again, going in for another punch! She brought her sword up to simply block the punch with the flat side of her blade.
"Hah. It'll take more then that to get me, Barkington!" she said as she pushed back before bringing the blade back to try to slash at him, thinking he was simply open for an attack. However, as she was doing her own attack, she suddenly felt something against her leg- Oh geezus, she was falling back. Kaula thudded onto her back before she went to start simply rolling to the side to stand back up, sword back at the ready.
As the Saiyan went to stretch lightly after that moment on the ground, the aura around her blade slowly dies down, simply flickering before it went out. Still, after hearing his words, she couldn't help but laugh. "Not a weapon. Do you know what I am, Walker?" she asked with a big grin. "I am a Saiyan. A Saiyan ELITE. I am pretty much the definition of a weapon. A creature that can dominate planets by herself, if she wanted to. I am probably one of the strongest of my kind, and I don't plan on stopping until I am."

Admittedly, that was not the response Walker was expecting. Kaula had a point, however. The Saiyan Solar Empire was not known for it's mercy. The Saiyans had supposedly worked under an ancient version of the Arcosian Empire, millenia ago, until the Empire was fragmented. In the time it had taken them the Arcosians to reorganize, the Saiyans had spread across the stars, and led to the current stalemate. Kaula did not seem like them, however. She might be strong and confident, perhaps even arrogant, but she did not seem quite as brutal as the reputation would imply. Perhaps she was half-Saiyan. The race was quite dominant in nature, and it would make sense if that applied to their genes as well.
Cracking his knuckles, Walker tossed the sword upwards, grabbing the sheath off his back with one hand. Catching the blade with a swipe, he tossed it aside. "Well then, Ms. Kaula. What would you do if I should surpass the Saiyan race? I confess, that does seem an inevitable consequence of my goals. If one wants to have peace, one must be so strong that any attack on them or their family will be crushed utterly from existence." His arms contorted, and the tree began walking forward, his head slowly moving back and forth. "I do hope that you do not intend to go the path of most of the Solar Empire. I consider you a friend, and I do not wish that to end."
Dropping down into a low stance, he spoke once more before he charged forward, his arms cracking out in a flurry of punches. The assault was brutal, but no shock unless the girl had suddenly gone blind. It was a close fight between the two, but Walker wanted to see how she would react if forced to step up the seriousness a little. He was by no means innocent of the bloodlust she had shown, but the possibility of her going the way of Athren worried him.

((Sorry Tokoz. I tried a few times to post to this, but my muse is all "No." so imma put it up to grade. D:))
Kaula grunted out after the green ki dissipated from her metal blade. She, deciding to forego using the weapon now, she moved to sheathe the long sword, chuckling a little bit. "You don't have to worry about me. I doubt we'd end up on opposite sides of stuff." she said with a loud huff. She noticed his stance change, she noticed he was going in for an attack! She raised her arms up, grunting as they decided to take the blow on her arms to block it from actually hurting her too much.
She eventually grinned a bit before raising her arms up. "I think that's good for now." she said before dusting herself off lightly. "I'm going to go back to patrolling. I'll see you another day." she added on, waving a bit before she started to walk off.
