[Thread PL: 2550] This was new.This thought dominated 25's mind as he landed in a forest clearing. He was farther south than he had ever been, and the warm climate surprised him. He had known, abstractly, that more thermal energy was available nearer the equator of a planet, thanks to its high saturation of solar radiation, but he hadn't really known what to expect.The new experience was secondary, though. 25 was here to gather energy reserves in case of reactor damage during training or combat.He knelt in the sun, specialized cells in his body armor diverting solar energy to storage units on his belt, readying them to be used as emergency energy cells.As he knelt, he scanned the area for power levels, not wanting to be vulnerable. He found few, but one caught his attention. It was curiously small, but its ki flowed rather strangely. He wanted to check it out, but restrained himself, not wanting to accidentally confront someone vastly stronger than him. He continued charging his backup cells.Nostalgic Ayumu

[Shopping stall... ACTIVATE! LV2!] [PL - Ayumu : 0, Hana : 170,262*16p=2724192 PL, Chinatsu, Arcosian gaurd, Songbird : 5000 PL, Mica : 56186 PL]
While you were approuching a certain source, it was a massive amount of energy circulating through the... Wooden planks? No wait, you could certainly sense the massive surplus of energy coming from ontop of this rather strange stall! With a woman laying on the top, snoring rather loudly as the clouds were gathering from above along with multiple people working inside, awaiting for you to get closer while a sign spoke of rather interesting things. Apparently one could enter this stall and acquire information in a fair trade, obtain training and even get free food for all species... Could they possibly sell some electricity?

Very strange indeed. now he realized the "ki" was some other kind of energy, but similar enough to ki for his scanners to pick it up. Unable to determine why the man's energy was concentrated in his store (And a little exasperated at the strange woman's snore) He knocked on the door and called through it: "Hello? Anyone there?" Oddly enough, he could hardly sense the man inside...

While you had knocked on the door of the stall that was shut, the front started to slowly fold outwards, bringing forwards a rather strange balcony that was slowly extended outwards from the top and bottom, a few chairs and tables appearing as with a few technological beeps the walls of this expanded veranda were pushing downwards, completely shutting you inside with a few droplets being heard with lights starting to flash on.
"Good day, do not worry, this is a mere normal restaurant... the one ontop can handle a bit of rain from her nature but hey, there will be a storm today, a very very terrible storm..."
The words of this man having a sense of dread in them, as if he wasn't talking about just the weather itself before turning towards you with a rather welcoming hand.
"Ayumu is the name, a arcosian maid there will not want to share her name, that holstaurus with the cloak is called Chinatsu, in the back is a songbird who we call songbird, dont piss her off and you wont have to fight her. ontop if Hana, these are all part of my stall the oni's resting place, my little family and such, but what do you do in this rather desolate island?"
Hoping for atleast some form of answers from you in this rather dire moment of time. There was not a single person here raising a eyebrow towards you, they just continued wandering in the back of the living room and back to the front, handling some little business work from cleaning to filling in papers and checking the quality of the ingredients apart from one arcosian maid who simply stood beside the two of you with a steel plate preparing to take any orders for a meal and get on with this job she had picked for her life.

25 would have raised an eyebrow at these strange introductions, if he had enough experience with lifeforms to classify them as strange. He was a little curious as to the man's own name, but he would save that question for later. As to why he was on this island... "My primary objective for landing on this island is to gather sufficient energy to power my body for at least a week in the event of a reactor failure. However, I also have a strong motivation to become physically stronger." He felt comfortable revealing that information, as the people the man had introduced all had greater power than 25, and he was confident they could help him if they so chose. "Would your acquaintances be interested in helping me achieve this secondary motive?"

Simply chuckling lightly, the man before you brought his hands together as a sudden blast of thunder from above cut into the conversation, the lights going out for a single second before turning on once again with a smile on his face. Awaiting for that moment where the lightning had stopped his voice then cut through the silence.
"You know what to do"
Pointing towards the backroom, you could hear the soft steps of the arcosian against the wooden floor in the dead silence as this man slowly went towards a table that had five chairs, sitting down on one while offering you one to sit on yourself.
"Let me just tell you this straight up, i am not just a information broker or just a salesman, i am somebody who teaches people who are able to push themselves beyond the basic limitations that we have... There are people who struggle to get to a hundred, yet there has been a uprise in people known as gems... people above a thousand powerlevel, they are unique along with their aspects of incredibly rapid growth. But in turn, those called rookie hunters start to appear even faster, hoping to trump over the others who start to ascend and take them out..."
Slowly counting on his fingers, this man was simply humming to himself before then nodding lightly.
"My name is Ayumu, If you have read a few books in the town i may be known to you but apart from what other people write about me i tend to keep to myself, i run a few orphanages and i help a few charities with the donations people give at this stall. But if push comes to shove, people also deliver black market wares here to dump them or to get rid of them, would you be willing to have your fighting capability tested just for that chance for a rather powerfull generator that i may have?"
Yet during all this talk, this man called Ayumu had never lost his smile, simply taking advantage of this opening presented into his hands, hoping to assist yet another rookie.

25 was surprised at the offer. A generator? Well, he hoped he wasn't walking into a trap here. He sat next to the man. "Of course, Ayumu. However, I'm fairly certain the more powerful beings in here could easily annihilate me. Would you mind pairing me with one of the less powerful ones, perhaps?" He had to admit, even the least powerful of Ayumu's friends far exceeded 25's power. He was actually very intimidated, though his face remained impassive. Overriding the intimidation, however, was a sense of excitement. Perhaps he would better be able to match whoever he fought here than with his previous sparring partner.

Chuckling lightly, Ayumu started to shake his head, starting to believe he had the wrong idea. Slowly raising his body upwards while hearing the lightning from outside constantly slam into the ground nearby before starting to open one door with a blast of wind crashing inside, the force being more akin to a vortex as some tables were pushed over and chairs fell over.
"You are not fighting a living thing, you are fighting to protect something else... Surely you should know what this kind of wind force brings along to a poor little stall like this right? Surely somebody as powerfull as you would have no trouble catching a few things and destroyin objects that may break this entire building including your generator right?"
Clapping his hands together to get you to hurry, as every second could ruin this expierience before looking towards the sky, Ayumu brought forwards a single answer aimed towards you.
"Your goal is to keep this stall safe, When you are certain nothing will happen to it you have cleared the first trial. Come on, Get outside and make certain that you do not let us all get smuuushed~"
Slowly taking a look outside while gripping the wall rather hard to not be blown back inside, it was time for you to prove yourself!

Well, that was unexpected. This was going to be interesting. 25 walked calmly from the stall, easily standing against the fearsome wind. He scanned the area for incoming threats. He found none. Yet. He turned to examine the shop. At this point, it didn't seem to be in immediate danger, but there was always a chance of something terrible, unexpected, and completely unrealistic. A proximity alert? Already? 25 turned. A car. An entire car. This was just ridiculous. The vehicle slammed into 25, roof collapsing as he didn't even move, the car completely crushed by the impact. He peeled the chassis off of himself, tossing it impressively far, considering the wind. Wind velocity was rising. 25 prepared for whatever would come at him next, planting his feet and assuming a defensive stance.

While this car that came from below the sea was knocked upwards, slamming full into you, the sudden sound of metal screeching started to be heard with a mental voice attempting to worm its way into you.
'Hello, Ayumu here, just giving you a few little hints or well, keeping up to date with you mentally to not let you suffer too much'
The source of screeching metal slowly started to grow louder and louder as a boat then tore its way out of the ground with dirt being flung everywhere, making its way straight towards you as a few anchors that had been picked up from below when this thing started were also attempting to make their way downwards onto you. Yet this was already a massive source of chaos starting.
'Please be carefull, you are not just a person anymore, you are somebody i can put my belief in... You are a warrior dammit, i am certain you will have hundreds of people to protect so dont fail us!'
Hoping to have instilled some courage into you, This man known as Ayumu softly tapped the window to make certain he was still watching as these objects started to rapidly close in!

25 winced as the voice sounded in his head, wondering how his firewalls had been breached. He looked up. A boat?! Seriously?! 25 was a little upset now. Really? A boat. A BOAT. Sighing, he walked towards it, resigned to this new ridiculousness. He vanished from sight as he began moving at hyperspeed. He snatched one of the boat's anchors from the air, the chain pulling taut as he landed, the wind pulling the boat towards the shop. Gritting his teeth, 25 pulled the boat away from the small building, each step smashing into the ground. "GraaAAH!" With a superhuman heave, 25 whipped the chain over his shoulder, the boat splintering as he hurled it into the air with all his might. As it sailed toward the peak of its trajectory, he vanished again do deal a series of smashing blows to key spots on the hull. The small ship shattered under his blows. 25 quickly snatched each anchor chain from the air and began revolving. His velocity increased at an alarming rate, and he soon reached the point at which the anchors' acceleration overcame their gravitational potential. Calculating at incredible speed, 25 released the anchors at the exact moment their trajectory would carry them into the sea. They landed with a splash. 25 was already back at the shop, waiting for the next challenge.

While you were about to attempt to walk back towards the shop, It was then that ayumu brought in a message of varying negativity. The sound of more screeching metal as multiple pillars of iron covered in rust had their sharp ends pointed towards the building, yet instead of having them continue travelling towards the building a sudden blow cut through the raging windstorm, the sky being blasted apart as the sun started to shine downwards, a tremor of wind expanding from atop the stall.
"Good morning... How are you tod-Wait, who are you?"
The woman spoke, having used some of her energy to knock all this nonsense out of the window while taking off against the air with a few selective hops, landing firmly onto the ground and starting to wander forwards towards this man.
"My name is hana, you seem... Firm, are you human or?"
Untill hana would suddenly have her irisses thin out as she instantly looked towards Ayumu, waiting for a few moments before then simply letting out a exhausted sigh and nodding lightly.
"Sure ayumu, Yeah i can spar with him... Its not like i have anything better to do today... Although i must ask you first. Do you possess any specific techniques that you could fire at a ranged target? If not, i am willing to teach you a few new techniques although they come with a trainer mark, a floating symbol you were teached by this master of mine, Ayumu y'know?"
Her energy visible starting to lower, Hoping that you would step in and tell her when it would be enough for a honest fight against you. Obviously if you let her do it for far too long she would be capable of not putting up a single fight against you but certainly you are not here to just stomp hana her face in, correct?

"I am an artificial lifeform designated Android c-25x, and yes, I do have a ranged technique." He waited for a moment as she suppressed her power. "That's plenty." He still wanted a challenge, so he had stopped her even though he only possessed 70% of his current power. He needed to train against stronger opponents. 25 adopted a wider stance, his hands dropping into a guard position as he prepared to spar. "You or me first?" He scanned her, waiting for any tiny shifts in stance that would indicate an attack as he asked the question.

While you made her stop at a reasonable level, simply aiming her fists for a few jabs to test her strenght, Hana simply started to shake her head. Knowing at a guess just how powerfull this android was before expressing a killing intent far above her current strenght.
"Are you certain that you will have enough on what you have? Tell me about your techniques... Go ahead"
Manifesting two large ivy's from her wrists, still connected to Hana her body, letting its lenght slowly curl outwards and back in before slamming forwards one of the whips towards you, small thorns starting to form on it, closing in on the enemy with everything she had, hoping to either cause him to block or move away to deliver a few rapid blows towards him and circle towards his back.
-
Ayumu himself had been taking his time to inspect the way this man had been spending his way protecting... He was a brute to say the least, slowly raising his eyebrow and starting to ponder exactly what had been going on. Wanting to give tips, wanting to tell a few mistaked movements yet it would not teach him in this moment unless he truely saw the fault in his motions. Right now this man was forced to stay put in his moment and await just exactly what this man had left in his resevoir, with just a single moment of opening being given would cause him to fail... But would he have the required combat protocols?

25 waited, analytics delivering data to his central processor as he paused. When the vines reached him, he ducked under them, racing toward Hana, preparing to deliver a vicious uppercut to the woman.
