Cipher took a deep breath of the crisp mountain air. It really did feel good to be out here, away from the cramped cities, and even to be back on Earth in general. Sometimes it took just being away from something for a bit to really make you appreciate it. He looked down at his dear fiance and daughter below, sitting on the picnic basket spread out on the ground. It was good to spend time with the family that wasn't just sitting in a spaceship. Besides, how many families were able to have a picnic up in the mountains? They had gone high enough to give a good view of the islands below, but not high enough that it gave Charlene trouble breathing. A nice outing for them.
He slowly touched down beside them, giving them a smile. Porsalynne was moving between setting out the food and looking at a bridal magazine. Now that they had returned to Earth, and there wasn't anything planned any time soon, she had gone full force on planning their wedding. The idea excited Cipher as well, but with his fiance's sense of decoration, he felt it best to allow her to handle it. After all, seeing how she worked their old dress shop, he believed she'd be able to arrange something wonderful. Now he just had to watch out for anyone wanting to give him a bachelor party. He made a mental note of steering clear of Liang and Jarvis for the time being. Meanwhile, Charlene was looking out at the ocean below, sitting near the edge of the outcropping they had parked themselves on.
"So, who wants to see me belly flop from here?" she asked, looking at the water below. "No." Cipher replied flatly, but gave his daughter a small smile. Even after all that had happened in the Arcosian Fiefdoms, his daughter's spunky and reckless attitude was actually a nice change of pace. "Though, if you like, I can show you a little something." Charlene turned and blinked, looking up at her adopted father, "What's that?" Cipher smiled and slowly flew up above them. Once he was a good distance away, he focused his ki into his hands, pointing them down towards his family. "Rodin's Gate!"[/b] Below, Charlene and Porsalynne watched as the massive form of Cipher's ki barrier appeared before them. However, the barrier itself wasn't what was impressive (though at its size, it was something to behold), but rather the pattern. Intricate and actually quite beautiful to look at. On the other side, the android smiled. "What do you think?" Cipher called down to them. It was amazing how Cipher was able to make such designs with his ki. Porsalynne smiled brightly, clapping her hands together. "It's wonderful dear! Oh! Maybe we can use it in the wedding!" Cipher chuckled as he dissipated the barrier and lowered back down to them. "Maybe when we get back, I'll bring it up for you to copy down." He then looked down at the food, "But for now, I think we should eat."

Looking up to the sky, Tourit saw a huge ki barrier. His mind filled with excitement right away. "What could that be? A really strong fighter? Maybe a dragon of some sort? I hope its a wyvern!" Flying as fast as he could towards the source, which came from a mountain, Tourit stopped as he once again thought about his home planet and his wedding. "Alright, fine. Last thing here on this planet and then I will head back to Tayona." Tourit adjusted his sword and continued flying.
Approaching the mountains, Tourit started going faster as his heart once again raced at the thought of a strong opponent. As he approached the source and got close, he slowed down, and attempted to sneak up on whatever had created the barrier, in case it was hostile. But, upon inspection, it just seemed to be a family enjoying a vacation. Deciding to come out of his hiding place(a humble bush) and introduce himself. "Hello there!" He said, taking a small bow. "I saw a great aura come from this direction. Would one of you happen to have made it?"

Cipher and his family had been about ready to dig into their food when a voice suddenly called out to them. Curious, they looked over to see a muscled young man stepping out from behind a bush...the only bush on the outcropping they were having their picnic. Where did he come from? Cipher was mentally kicking himself for not sensing his approach. However, at closer inspection, the man's power wasn't really that high, and he didn't seem hostile, at least, for now. Very slowly, the android stood up, his tall, white form now in full view of the young man, including the four arms he possessed. "If you're referring to the barrier," Cipher spoke up, his voice level, showing no signs of hostile intent, "Then that would be me. May I ask, what is it you want?" He was getting a sneaking suspicion he knew exactly what the man wanted. Granted, if it came to that, then Cipher was more than capable of defending himself. But to have to fight when he was having a peaceful outing with the family was, well, kind of annoying.

"Well," Tourit started, crossing his arms, "I was wondering if you would like to spar me!" Tourit then looked at the guys family. "Oh, it seems you were about to enjoy some food. If you'd like, I can wait for you to finish that."
Tourit then realized he hadn't introduced himself. "Oh, and I'm Tourit Sanichi, prince of the Pashifikku kingdom of the planet Tayona." Tourit flashed a peace sign and grinned. "And in case ya do want to fight me, I'll start warming up." Tourit then began stretching his leg muscles, then went on to arms. After warming up, Tourit awaited the mans response.

Cipher blinked as the man introduced himself. The planet Tayona? He had never heard of such a planet, but apparently Tourit was a prince from there. More importantly, he wanted to spar with him. Cipher had a feeling that was what he wanted. Why else would a muscular man approach him after seeing his barrier? But what would sparring accomplish? Would beating him result in an intergalactic incident? Probably not, considering he was the one making the challenge, but he didn't know this man. If he was the petty type...
As Tourit began his stretches, Charlene had a wide grin on her face. "Alright! Lunch and a show! We haven't seen you fight in a long time dad, and after missing you beating those Oozaru, I think we deserve to see you fight." And by 'we', Cipher knew she meant 'she'. Cipher let out a small sigh. "Very well, I guess I can humour you both." Charlene bounced with glee as Cipher slowly lifted off of the ground. If there was going to be any fighting, he didn't want to risk his family being injured. "Be careful dear," Porsalynne called out. While Cipher appreciated the sentiment, it was unnecassary. Unless Tourit was hiding his power of course.

Tourit saw the android lift off the ground, and followed suite. Upon getting to the same height as the android, Tourit activated his transformation. His eyes began to glow red, and he was enveloped by a reddish blackish ki. "I'll make the first move..." Tourit thought to himself. "Maybe I can catch him off guard..."
Tourit wasted no time charging at the android. He flew at him as fast as he could, firing a weak ki blast towards his face, intended to distsract him. At the last second, he got behind the android and attempted to land a punch.
Demonic Will activated
Small ki blast coming at your face, and a punch from behind.

Cipher watched him carefully, watching Tourit as he flew up to join him. As the prince began to charge himself up, Cipher watched as his power level practically tripled in strength. Not that it made it any closer to being on par with his. Cipher tilted his head slightly to the side, watching him.
Then Tourit made the first move, charging forward and unleashing a series of ki blasts as he went. One of Cipher's four arms moved swiftly, calmly batting them aside, though making sure not to hit them in the direction of his family. The other three remained behind his back, almost casually so. Then, as Tourit got close, he seemed to vanish, though the android could sense him coming from behind.
Unfortunately, when Tourit through his punch, Cipher would have already moved, twisting his body to avoid the strike, and seemingly without any difficulty either. "Not a bad start," Cipher spoke calmly, "Using distraction tactics is always one of the fundamentals." All of a sudden, Cipher shot back a short distance, putting some space between him and Tourit. "But let's see if there's more to you than that."

"Wow, hes incredible! I didn't even see him move!" Tourit felt a chill go down his spine. "This guy...I don't think our entire army could bring him down...Makes me wonder what I'll do if someone this tough attacks Tayona..." Tourit backed up a little and grimaced. He then charged at the android again, this time releasing a barrage of punches.
bunch of punches coming at you

Cipher made no move to counter attack. With a power gap this large, Cipher would probably be able to beat Tourit with a single strike. Instead, Cipher would just simply settle for gauging just what the prince was capable of. As Tourit launched his assault, Cipher merely moved back, dodging the blows with little effort. Not bad for someone of his level, though it was pretty clear he was out classed, and it seemed the prince was realizing this after his first attack.
"Come on!" Charlene yelled out from down below, "Stop trying to hit him and hit him!" Cipher quickly brought a hand up, catching Tourit's oncoming fist, holding it in place as he looked down at his daughter. "Were you saying that to me, or him?" Cipher asked, legitimately curious. Charlene blinked. "Um...yes?" "Nobody likes a smartass Charlene," Cipher replied in a lightly scolding tone, almost as if the guy wasn't in the middle of a sparring match.

Tourit's blood almost went cold as his fist was caught. The guy he was fighting didn't even seem to care about Tourit's attack. This got Tourit riled up a little. He struggled to get his hand free, but he couldn't get out of the androids grip. Then Tourit got an idea to blast the android point blank range with his best attack. "VU-NO-TOI!" Tourit yelled as he fired a blast of red ki right into the androids face with his free hand.
Vu-no-toi[N1 with UP2 format] blasted at you

Cipher really should have seen this coming. After all, a point blank attack made sense when you were this close and your opponent wasn't paying attention. Tourit's attack hit Cipher square in the face with a thunderous explosion, smoke flying everywhere. Below, Porsalynne and Charlene watched, a bit surprised that that had happened. However, they had nothing to worry about as the smoke began to clear, revealing that the attack had only managed to mess with his hair. "Not bad," Cipher replied, before suddenly, still holding Tourit's hand, threw the prince up into the air away from him.

Flying very fast towards the sky, it took Tourit a couple seconds to stop himself midair. "No way!" Tourit yelled. He simply could not believe how strong this guy was. He just took his strongest attack right in his face and brushed it off like it was nothing. "How...how are you this strong!?" Tourit yelled in desperation. Tourit then fired a volley of powerful ki blasts. He followed them, with both arms extended intending to deck the android in the face after he took the ki blasts.

Cipher crossed his arms, looking up at Tourit who was really letting all this get to him. "If you've been through as much as I have," Cipher spoke up, "And when you live on THIS planet, you need to be this strong, if you want to protect those you care about." Cipher was pretty certain that statement got an 'aww' from Porsalynne, as Tourit began opening fire. Once again, Cipher began batting aside the blasts as Tourit closed in, going for a frontal assault rather than trying any tricks.
However, as Tourit moved in to strike, Cipher suddenly vanished, reappearing behind the desperate prince. "Let's wrap this up, shall we?" Before Tourit could respond, Cipher delivered an open palm strike to his back. He held back of course. He didn't want to hurt him too badly, but enough to give him a taste of just what he was up against.
---- Open palm strike to the back.

Tourit turned around as fast as he could, but not fast enough. Tourit took the hit straight onto his back, and went flying to the ground. He was headed for a lake, so it didn't seem like he'd get hurt too bad. crashing into the lake slowed him down, but he still kept falling deep into the lake. The prince felt a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time: defeat. "No way..." Tourit thought to himself as he descended further into the lake. "This guy was in an entirely different league then me...I had no hope at all of defeating him." Tourit hit the bottom of the lake.
Swimming back up to the surface, Tourit emerged, gasping for air. Tourit pointed one of his fingers at the android. "You! I need to know, what is your name?" He yelled.

Cipher watched as Tourit crashed into the water below. He hadn't hit him that hard, certainly not enough to render him unconscious. Meanwhile, at the picnic site, Charlene was cheering with glee. "K.O! And the round goes to Cipher!" "Charlene!" Porsalynne scolded before looking down where Tourit landed. "He's going to be ok, right?"
Cipher slowly came down to the lake, hovering over it, waiting for Tourit to surface. Suddenly, the prince burst up out of the water, demanding to know Cipher's name. Dammit, during all this Cipher had forgotten to introduce himself. How rude! "I am Cipher 24, of the Earth's Blue Banner Army," Cipher introduced himself, having above him. "So, was that good enough for you?"
