[Thread PL: 30,793 | Heavy Weights on, weighted PL: 7,698 ] And so, the first round was on! Slowly, Hinawa got up onto the arena, with controlled steps and breathing. The heavy sleeves, boots and top kept her weighted down and hid a majority of her power level - quite useful, since she usually could only hide her true strength by transforming into a fox. So she stood on her side of the arena, and with another deep breath, generated the void of emotion within herself - her eyes flared up red. Vi-Poi... She was sure that she had heard that name, or one like it, before at some point, but as far as she was concerned he was just some blue-haired weirdo she'd have to stomp into the ground to proceed. Not that she wouldn't enjoy herself while doing so, of course. Martial Arts were her passion, and what better way to enjoy herself than to get to fight a bunch of different Martial Artists? Of course, fighting more than one opponent required her to win, so she couldn't afford to go easy on her opponent. The crowd didn't seem all that interested in her - she just got some sideways looks for her ears and tail, but Zoanthropes of the half-animal kind weren't rare enough to cause a big upheaval. Standing at the ready, Hinawa extended her senses - trying to find another aura getting excited for a fight... But so far, nothing. The auras of everyone else all seemed calm as they waited for their own fights, or as calm as some of them got while not actively fighting - so whoever would be this Vi-Poi had to have excellent self-control. Maybe this wouldn't be all that boring after all. Now, Vi-Poi's name was being called out, and Hinawa looked on to see what her opponent really looked like up close... --- Vi-Poi

(Thread PL: 10,479,701)
A cry from the crowd rose up as his name was called. It was an odd one, mixed with surprise, joyous cheer from his supporters, and interspersed with boos from his detractors. Being famous was certainly strange. Sometimes it made him uncomfortable, like when he first went on pressers and was met with a line of grown adults jumping up and down, teary-eyed, shrieking his name. They’d waited hours in the queues just to see him.
Weirdos, Poi’s ghost agreed.
But then he came to realize it wasn’t him they were really cheering. Or booing. It was the idea of him, of what he represented. Their hopes for the planet, their fears for the future. Prejudices, good and bad. Together they were larger than him, and their idea of him was larger, too.
Waving to the crowd, Vi-Poi stepped gingerly into the ring, putting his fingers together and cracking the yttrium bones audibly. He rolled his shoulders back and popped his spine too, getting his body ready for battle. He hadn’t had a serious fight in a little while, and he knew that he’d have at least one today.
His 3D Scan Mode worked its mathematical magic against Hinawa. Her battle point was reading just shy of eight thousand. She was human, but a human’s eyes didn’t usually flash red like that, and they usually didn’t sport fox ears and tails. Some kind of zoanthrope. He decided. An unusually strong one.
“Hi. I’m Vi-Poi,” He gave Hinawa a friendly wink. “This is my first tournament, how about you?” He asked, leaning back on one heel. He held one hand out in a knife hand, warding outward like the blade of a fencer. “I guess I'll be learning as we go. Wanna attack first?”

Hinawa's eyes widened slightly as the blue-haired effeminate young man walked onto the ring. Not because of the blue hair, or the lithe build - she actually found both to be rather good looking. No, it was the fact that her senses picked up... nothing. If it wasn't for her eyes seeing him clearly, she'd be sure that she was going mad! To her enhanced senses that always managed to show her the true strength of someone relative to her own, this guy... simply didn't exist. Even a bird in the sky had Ki, but this young man had none - yet he had apparently brought his own fanclub, too. Rubbing her eyes for a moment, the red, glowing eyes slowly had their pupils turn into slits, becoming fully beast-like - but even at the height of her senses, there was just NOTHING there. It was as if a rock had rolled up onto the stage, said hi, and wanted to fight her - it made no sense! Kami be damned, was she going insane? Losing her senses? No, she could still feel everyone else just fine! "Vi-Poi... Can't say I've heard about you, but apparently you have quite the following." Nodding her head slightly towards the crowd, she still had a light frown on her face. It couldn't be an illusion, even those had Ki signatures. "You an actor or something? Oh well. I'm Hinawa Hyoukai - first tournament, and I'll use it to make people here remember the Hyoukai Arts for generations."Hyoukai - the name of an old clan. Formerly assassins, their families had lost all ability to manipulate Ki on a large enough scale to actually be anything but normal people for two generations - until Hinawa was born. Now, she was the last one after a certain Saiyan had killed them all - but if anyone had ever heard of the clan in some old, dusty tome, it was probably the premier of Earth. Not that Hinawa had any real way of knowing that - to her, this guy was just some incredibly weird being without Ki, while she was a Martial Artist relying completely on it to strengthen herself and fight. Crouching down suddenly, with her right leg extended forward a bit and her hands held like claws, the red, incredibly sharp nails on her hands gleamed in the light of the day. A sudden burst of Ki swirled all around the young woman - raising her aura to maximum strength, it appeared like a pale blue flame around her, though it seemed to be struggling as if against a huge wind. Caused by her heavy weights, her aura could not fully encompass her, but until she knew how strong this Vi-Poi really was, she had to keep her true strength hidden! His battle pose actually reminded Hinawa of a deflective style she had once learned, before dropping it after realizing that it just didn't work for someone with her body type. However, this light style of Vi-Poi... seemed very controlled and trained. Maybe he was more than just some actor? No matter! "Prepare yourself!" With a sudden dash forward, Hinawa cracked the plates she was standing on with the rush forward, apparently going right for the opponent of unknown strength... Before suddenly dashing to the side and trying to circle around Vi-Poi, aiming a sharp claw-strike to rip across his back to start this battle off. Every single time she had been in a serious battle or spar before, her speed had always been her saving grace and greatest strength - her light and muscular build without any wasted body fat made her dash along the ground and fly in short bursts like greased lightning... But if that meant anything against someone like the premier of Earth had yet to be seen. -- Vi-Poi

Vi-Poi gave a lopsided grin at her question. “An actor? I wish! I’m the leader of Earth,” He explained.
As Hinawa crouched, the small android brought his reactor up to battle levels. A low groan of wind stirred up, ruffling clothing of the spectators in the stands. The air seemed to be pulling towards him like water going down a drain.
When she sprung at him, Vi-Poi stayed perfectly still. Even as she swept to the side and hurtled towards him he was motionless as a statue, blue gaze still cast ahead.
Hinawa’s sharp claw came swiping in to rake across his spine, but as her nails dug into where his back should have been, his body wavered like a heat mirage, and her strike passed through him.
“You’re pretty fast,” A voice said from just above her head. Vi-Poi was hanging upside down, arms folded across his stomach. His afterimage was slowly dissipating into a smear of negative light. “But you’re going to have to be quicker than that.”

Leader of the Earth? Wait, what?... Slowly, Hinawa remembered where she had seen this weirdo. On some motivational poster of the BBA. Of course... Now that made a whole mot more sense. Her claws shot forward - she didn't care if she was fighting the premier or not, she wanted to win - only to... Just pass right through him?! Her eyes widened, and her head snapped upwards as he spoke again. Narrowing her burning red eyes, Hinawa couldn't help but show her incredibly sharp and pointy canine teeth. Hanging upside-down, looking bored... Oh, now it was ON. "Tch. I have no idea what kind of freak you are to be able to do this without having any Ki, but I guess I don't have to hold back, Mr. Premier." There was definitely a mocking tone to Hinawa using his title - as her aura suddenly expanded, and something like bolts of red lightning shot through the pale blue, crackling over her arms, top and boots. With some loud snaps, the clams holding all of them together on their backs flipped open - and they crashed into the ground heavily enough to leave indentures. Thankfully she was wearing a sports bra under her top to hide her rather flat chest, otherwise this whole fight could probably no longer be transmitted on TV. The pale blue of Hinawa's aura shot up, almost instantly reaching its natural maximum and revealing her true Power Level of roughly above 30,000. Bolts of red energy still shot through the blue. "I don't like using my full power, but I have no idea how strong you actually are. So..." Suddenly, energy rushed into her right hand, as she flew into the air at her maximum speed, turning into a blur. The Ki collected into her hand, causing sparks of red to dance over it - before her entire hand, starting at her claws, ignited in red, glowing Ki like an inferno. "Kitsune Fury!" Striking with as much power and speed as she could, Hinawa aimed her strike right for the blue-haired premier's face. Probably not the nicest of places to go for with flaming claws, but she wasn't going to let some freak without any Ki destroy her hopes for this tournament, premier of Earth or not.

Vi-Poi’s eyebrows shot up as Hinawa removed her heavy weights. They fell with dull booms, leaving craters in the tournament ground. “Forty tons?” He asked, impressed. The android himself had trained with similar weights, a long time ago.
And the zoanthrope’s power had more than tripled. “Pretty good!” He grinned excitedly, watching as her aura blazed to its unfettered peak. “With power like that, you could make it into the Ki Assault Operations Squad!” He lifted a caveating finger, “Of course, you’d have to pass the ultimate test -- show well in a group fighting pose and-”
When Hinawa slammed her flaming fist forward and screamed about voting, Vi-Poi blinked, caught midsentence by the sharp ends of her claw, glowing neon red. “Yow!” He exclaimed in surprised hurt, flung head over heels through the air, wheeling backwards like a rag doll from the force.
He stopped his upward arc with a snap of ki, hands wagging in a blur in front of his face. “Hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot!” The pink claw-mark across one side of his face was slowly fading. He glowered down at the zoanthrope. “Guess I deserved that, for letting my guard down.”
The small android shot to the ground, an amused quirk on his lips. “You need ranged attacks, for when you fight an opponent faster than you. You can’t just rely on your strengths. There’s always someone better.” He raised his arms in Liang’s Tiger Style, palms flat, fingers curled up until his hands were like the maws of those infamous jungle predators. “Ready?”
He moved quickly, shooting across the arena like a blue bullet, striking out with a combination of precision palms and whorling kicks designed to batter Hinawa into the ground. He didn’t want to knock her from the ring, or knock her from consciousness – not yet. He wanted to push her to the brink, to see if this was really her maximum, or if there was something else down there, in her beating heart, where her spirit lived.

That was her strongest close-range attack. Hinawa had put as much power into it as she could, interrupting the little speech from the strangest premier that Earth probably ever had, and scored an actual hit... Only to see him simply coming to a stop in the air and complaining a bit about it being hot. Landing back on the ground, slightly stunned by the reaction, it slowly dawned on Hinawa just how outclassed she actually was here. This guy... if he was the leader of Earth, then he was one of those who stopped the Saiyan Invasion for sure. She had never met him, couldn't feel any energy from him, yet she felt more intimidated now than she ever did even when facing down the likes of Emer. "Ki Assault... Yeah no. I don't work well with others." Falling back into a battle stance, she saw the blue-haired young man land back on the arena. "Tch... If I had gone for my ranged attack, I could've hurt someone else. Fire doesn't discriminate." The thought of trying to unleash a full-powered Foxfire Inferno here was ludicrous - one wrong inch of movement and she'd burn down one of the stands that people were watching from and then some. Giant beams of flame weren't exactly easy to use in civilized areas. As the strange premier asked if she was ready, she simply grunted in response, adjusting the stance of her now bare feet on the arena floor slightly. A blue blur, and suddenly Hinawa felt heavy pain and pressure from her chest. The palm strike of the pretty man had hit her square before she even knew what was going on - was THIS what it was like to fight her for some people? So much blinding speed that it became impossible to follow?! Reeling forwards slightly, she attempted to strike forward with her right fist - only to get knocked against the head by a kick, sending her spinning to the side. Raising both arms as fast as she could, she could feel the impact of another palm strike right against them - her bones screamed, almost breaking under the impact. The pale blue flame around her wavered, flared up, but no matter what her Ki did... there was no way to escape this. A battering of blows threw Hinawa around, as if she was being used for a pinball machine. Every single strike sent a new jolt through her body - every quick movement from the blue-haired fighter too fast for her eyes. 'Damn... it...!'Finally, a blow brought her to her knees, only barely able to lift up her left arm to divert another kick so it didn't just bowl her over. Was this her limit? To be pathetically beaten to a pulp without even being able to retaliate? Vi-Poi was strong, so unfathomably strong. A mental image suddenly flashed inside of her head. A cold wind blowing over an icy field, and a fox clashing with a Saiyan at full power. The joy she had felt from competition, how it reinvigorated her spirit and gave her a true reason to live again... To compete again. She had promised to be Levlidian's rival, to always stay ahead of him - now he was far stronger than her. The next image as another strike tried to bring her down - a beautiful, moonlit night, and a tall man covered in scars. His smile, which she saw for the first time in her life - a smile that melted away much of the ice that had still remained within her. Another promise - to save him. Then, standing in a metal hallway - the promise to stop him AND save him. Emer... her teacher. Her friend. One of the few men to see her as a woman, and the one she wanted to save the most - yet even his strength was moving farther and farther away. 'Is this some sort of cruel joke...?!' Crossing her arms, Hinawa staggered back onto her feet from a kick. Red energy began to intersect into her blue aura - her muscles tightening, expanding slightly. Was this really the only way - to give in to the beast inside of her, the thing that made her more brutal and destructive than a Saiyan? The thing that twisted her entire emotional spectrum towards just one goal - to kill. More mental images - of Durian, the woman she could never let exceed her. An image of three fists colliding - Taro, Levlidian, and her, Hinawa. A promise to always improve, yet the Saiyans always kept growing faster...! Suddenly, hot tears ran down her face. "Wh..y... I... have more reason... to be strong...!" With a growl, Hinawa attempted to catch a strike of her assailant, but was flung back from the sheer force. Was this it? Was it over now? She could just give in to the beast inside, let out her animal nature, and be taken down regardless... "...Protect... I'll... PROTECT THEM!"A single spark. That's how it all began. "From everything."
The sudden telepathic word would be clearly understandable for Vi-Poi, even though it wasn't meant for anyone but herself. Suddenly her head snapped around - and blood red eyes, filled with nothing but pure determination, looked into those of the premier. For a split second, Hinawa's aura disappeared completely... And like a sudden explosion, returned three-fold. Red, raging Ki, like a wildfire, spread through every last fiber of her being, causing even her hair and tail to be whipped upwards as if by a great wind. Her muscles started to cramp up - but Hinawa beat down the overuse. With near-perfect control, the overdose of Ki was streamed through her body - muscles bulking up slightly. Within under a second, Hinawa's power level tripled. And with a yell, she flew forward, catching Vi-Poi's strike in her right hand - she could feel her body protesting, but with every last ounce of her strength, she pushed her right hand forward as a fist, aiming to slam it straight into the mid-section of her opponent.

Vi-Poi’s grin widened as he saw her reach her true power. Her energy had turned over from blue to a raging red, just like her eyes. Her manner was feral, and judging from the telepathic thought that lanced across his robotic mind, it was driven by emotion.
As Hinawa raced across the tiles Vi-Poi spread his legs apart and bent slightly at the knees. When her arm lanced forward with a crushing punch he caught it with both hands. His heels raised up off the tiled ground, and all of her forward momentum suddenly ceased as surely as if she’d punched the edge of the Universe. All of that seized kinetic energy transmitted into heat, a sizzling flash of light.
“I knew there was more to you! Wowie! Good stuff,” He gave a joyful laugh. “I didn’t think you’d be this strong.” With that one of his knees blurred upward, striking with enough force at her abdomen to make her black out – at least for some moments – should it cleanly connect. After the attack he’d lean down in a whisper, “I’m sorry, but there’s someone else here, another true self I need to see.” Wheeling around with her extended arm still in his hands, he’d hoist it across his shoulder and use the limb as a lever to hurl her speedily out of the ring.

It was as if Hinawa attempted to punch out a god - the kinetic energy from her fist was absorbed completely - and transferred into a storm of heat for a flash of a moment around the two. But this time, Hinawa wasn't frowning - instead, she was smiling. This was her full strength, without any holding back - she had done all she could, that much was for sure. If she lost now - she'd be content with that. As Vi-Poi laughed, the fox-girl joined in - the despair had rolled off of her as quickly as it had come, and with the dawn of this new focused state came a renewed, stronger sense of self-worth. If anyone could protect her misfit group of friends - it really was her, and nobody else. The knee strike was too fast for Hinawa to block - at least completely. Raising her own legs, Hinawa managed to absorb some of the impact, though it was still enough to knock the breath from her. The throw following right after turned her into a human bullet, sailing through the air. Maybe, if she put all of her strength into it, she could stop the immense momentum and float instead of crashing into the ground outside of the arena... But there was no need for it. Vi-Poi was so incredibly powerful and strong, even without having any living Ki, that continuing this fight was pointless. "I understand. Thank you for giving me this chance to improve. Take care in the following rounds, and don't you dare lose to anyone after beating me, alright?" Contacting the premier with a quick telepathic link, he'd be able to respond to her through his mind right now if he wished to - or he could easily block her messages out, too. Closing her eyes for a moment, Hinawa smashed into the ground outside of the ring - kicking up a plume of dust as she left a small crater. "R...Ring out! Hinawa Hyoukai of the Yunzabit Highlands is out! The winner of round one is Premier Vi-Poi!" The voice of the announcer rang out over the speakers, and the crowd started to go a bit wild again with cheers for the blue-haired weirdo. Still smirking, Hinawa got back up slowly outside of the ring - her body hurt like hell, but this time, it wasn't because she used the beast within herself. Her aura fizzled away now, returning to the natural state just above 30,000 on the scale of power levels. Stretching her back a bit as she got up, her now blue eyes turned back to Vi-Poi - and she jumped back onto the stage, facing towards him. With the smirk still remaining, she folded her hands together and bowed her head towards the strongest opponent she had ever faced. "Sorry, striking poses isn't really my thing or I'd give you one as thanks." With a chuckle, Hinawa slipped back into her boots, sleeves and top, sealing them back shut onto her body, as she rotated her shoulders slightly. Yep, she'd be SO sore for the next few days. "40 tons you said? Damn, I outdid myself with that spell. Well, see you around, Vi-Poi." With a wave, Hinawa jumped off of the ring and started walking towards the lounge for fighters, with slightly impaired and slowed steps. 'Next time, I'll win.'--- Vi-Poi Hinawa has lost through ring-out - Vi-Poi is victorious! Thank you for the great thread, Vi. This was a load of fun, and I hope we get to RP again sometime soon! I'll be taking Zeni with human bonus for this thread. Oh, and requesting for Animalistic Surge to be renamed to Full Focus to express mastery.

Vi-Poi bowed back with a grin, waving to Hinawa as she departed. "I bet you'll give me a run for my Zeni," He agreed. She'd really been something. The small android wondered what would become of her. Earth was a bonfire of ki, and the fire was only growing stronger with each passing year.
