She hope was that Marcel wasn’t done. From her earlier vantage point he looked injured, but not finished. With this being the first time the two had truly engaged, Shemha wanted to push him to his limit and beyond.
Down she came, weight and power behind the impending strike aimed for his chest. Almost on top of him, Marcel was yet to try and roll away or send any sort of blast her way. With no reserves about landing the strike should he not defend himself, she was pleased when he finally reacted. A small roll put him on his back before both hands intercepted her arm. His tight grip on her wrist combined with the feet that planted to her stomach was more than enough to halt her momentum. Knuckles inches from his chest, fully within range should her hand shift into a blade; the only reaction from the Majin was a forced exhale.
When his arms and legs jerked upwards, he was able to launch her back into the air with ease. Sailing up towards the ceiling, Shemha allowed herself to move without resistance. As she rose her mouth opened to suck air back in, eyes locked on the male below her. Not content with the throw, he was soon in the air and coming towards her. What his intent was beyond a physical confrontation she was unsure, but she didn’t plan to let it get to that.
That deep inhale the Majin took on her way up was for more than just catching her breath. She waited until he was about a meter away when she let that breath out, but it was no normal exhale. Out came another reverberating scream akin to the one she unleashed before except this uncharged attack contained even more punch than the one she spent several moments preparing the last time. In addition, Shemha called on her inner magical strength to amplify the shock wave further.
Like before, the air rippled visibly as the Ki empowered soundwaves ripped free. Aimed directly for his oncoming figure she wondered if there was any way for him to counter the attack. Pouring herself into this one she knew it had the potential to send him hurtling back down to the floor he just left, likely hitting it with incredible force. Would he be able to take such a hit? Either way, as long as everything went as planned the Majin would be left in the air, chest rising and falling thanks to the exertion.
Marcel blocks Shemha’s incoming strike only to send her up into the air. Although, when he attempts to continue his offense the Majin attempts to greet him with a powerful Kiai! ([MP3]Destructive Kiai used and amplified with Magic Tricks for a combined PL of 25,581 x 2 = 51,162 to try and knock Marcel out!)
(I know Magic Tricks is supposed to be a +2 to my current trans, but since she is suppressed I just used the x2 instead. That okay? Let me know.)
[MP3]Destructive Kiai: The most powerful version of her Kiai attack, this shock wave is capable of covering an even wider area and dealing more damage to the objects or people caught in its path. With its increased range and power, the deafening shout is able to level villages and cities if its user is powerful enough. Like the lower tier version of the attack, this upgraded version has the same ability to deflect incoming Ki attacks
Magic Tricks - Majin are capable of a wide variety of mystical techniques, but once per thread they can bring the bulk of their mystical power to bare allowing them to produce a technique that functions at x2 there PL or in any transformation above Base, +x2.

With a confident smirk upon Marcel's face after the successful blocking of the woman's punch, Marcel dashed into the air to chase after Shemha with the intention of sending a few punches her way followed with a knee to the stomach!
But unfortunately, it appeared that the Majin had other plans...
Being too injured to react in time, Marcel could only float there with his eyes widened as the woman let out another one of her shockwave type shouts. He'd hope to endure his way through this like the last one, but it appeared that this one had A LOT more force, and power to it. Feeling like he has just been rammed by a train going at extreme speeds, Marcel would be sent crashing back into the very spot he laid at with a thud that echoed around the chamber, biting down on his lower lip hard enough to puncture it with some blood leaking out. On the ground, Marcel lied there with eyes widened while shaking some. It not only felt like that he was badly bruised, but now some bones were broken, specifically his ribs, and chest. Finally, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to scream, but the hybrid would quickly close it before his eyes closed shut. Though he was silent, it was obvious he was in pain. A lot of it...
Despite that, the hybrid was able to remain conscious, not that it would do him much good in this state. Now he wasn't thinking about the fun he was having, nor the pain he is feeling. Instead his mind was wrapped around having yet another loss on his list! Though he understood Shemha had more strength, and skill than him, Marcel couldn't help but feel pathetic about this. Why did he continue to train? It was clear that he wasn't meant to be a warrior, nor a protector. He'd might as well stay here on Namek, and not bother to show his face on Earth again, not that they wanted him their anyway.
His eyes...grew watery, but he fought the urge to let the tears flow. The man already made a fool of himself in front of the woman, wouldn't want to make it worse crying over this like some spoiled child.
KP: 3/3
(Marcel attempted to tank Shemha's attack, but failed miserably!) (I'm okay with the x2 o:)

Marcel took the full powered Kiai like a champ, but hey, even the champ went down sometimes.
Above him, she saw the wall of energy enhanced sound slam into her friend. Like a fly swatted from the sky he dropped to the floor below. Even from her height she heard the thud as his body collided with the tiles. For a moment she hung there, eyes trained on the figure sprawled out below her. She expected that to end the fight…but she learned long ago never to underestimate an opponent. Only after she felt he wasn’t going to launch some sort of sneak attack, blood visible on his lips and exhaustion clear on his face, did she begin to descend.
Shemha drew closer and as she did the expression on Marcel’s face became easier to read. It was one she understood on a far better level than she would openly admit. Since she joined the Empire, the Majin trained with various individuals and during that time she lost to each and every one of them. Throughout it all she struggled with the feeling of her own inadequacy and only recently, when unlocking some of the potential hidden within her, did she realize what she lacked.
Unbeknown to Marcel, he was part of Shemha’s solution. Loyal to the SSE, she worked to serve others, like she always had. For as far back as her memory went, her goals were not her own. With little desires she acted on the behalf of others. While such a life was honorable in her opinion, it was also what left her so empty. Only after she met individuals like Negi, Noxa and Marcel did she begin to see something…greater.
Since her master perished, she unknowingly longed for friendship, companionship in some way. Out of place in the Universe in more ways than one, the individuals she met that treated her like more than a soldier or tool quickly altered her perspective. Unfamiliar with such relationships, she wanted them now that she had been given a taste. With friends now in her life, deeper purpose revealed itself and with deeper purpose, her life finally meant something to her.
”Well done, Marcel, although it does seem like this one has gone in my favor.” Shemha said respectfully before a small pause. They were friends, she needed to be encouraging.
”I have to admit, you sure gave me a run for it there. Even with my durable body I am feeling it. Are you okay?” Complimented the Majin before she extended her right arm down towards him. Hand open, she offered to help him stand, unsure of the extent of his injuries. More important than the gesture, was the level and honest tone of her voice. He may have lost, but she was impressed none the less.

Like a broken man which he quite literally was at this moment, Marcel laid there with his teary eyes closed in an attempt to keep them from falling. The hybrid wanted to move his hands over his face so badly, but he wanted to try his best to keep Shemha from knowing about the tears which of course failed miserably. Being too busy beating himself up about this, the hybrid didn't realize Shemha drawing close to him until she finally spoke.
Though she talked, Marcel remained quiet in his own little world. He felt not just sadness from the loss, but frustration, anger as well. He felt like he wanted to do something....that he knew he'd regret. At the same time however, Marcel would never bring himself to do such a thing to someone he claims as his closest friend. He wanted to get stronger, but felt as if he was getting nowhere. Shemha continued to speak, this time Marcel listening as his head tilted towards her, his eyes still closed, but bits of tears leaking out. Her compliment was well appreciated, but it wasn't really enough for him to get out of this mood he was in. He didn't want the Majin to feel bad, or anything however. He wouldn't dream of having anyone take pity on him, so he tried to distract her from the problem.
"I'm...I'm feeling it as...as well." he claimed before chuckling some only for that to cause him more pain. "The pain even has me in tears..." he joked some despite that not being the truth. "I...will be fine, Shemha." he said as his head shifted back up with eyes still closed, so he never realized the hand being offered to him. "Perhaps I should just lay here....Pretty sure my chest, and ribs are...are a bit broken." he'd say before cracking a small grin.
"I...really did enjoy the spar, Lady Shemha."

Marcel sold his pain well, Shemha aware of his disappointment, but not knowing it hurt him that much to lose. She would understand though, that feeling of inadequacy. Taking his words and expression for face value though she didn’t press the issue. Instead she moved on.
”Glad to hear you will survive. I look forward to the next one, but for now, if you are that injured let me help you to the lounge. I think I have an extra senzu bean lying around that could heal you right up.” Shemha offered with a small smile, arm still extended to help him up. Of course if he took it she would be sure to help him up slowly and carefully as to not injure him further.
”Oh, just Shemha is fine. We are friends, no need for the Lady.” She added. While always a fan of manners and etiquette, she didn’t see it necessary if they were to be friends.

Finally, Marcel opened his eyes, the bottled up tears finally running down his face. Oh the thought of how foolish made him look caused him to snicker softly. He'd see Shemha's hand stretched out to him, looking at it for a bit before looking up to her. Even after defeating him, Shemha was still polite towards him with little to know signs of showing off, or rubbing it in his face. The hybrid respected that a lot.
Marcel raised a hand up it shaking some before he managed to clasp it against the Majin's with her slowly helping him up after. Finally back on his feet after wincing a bit, Marcel would look at the Majin with a small nod. "Thank you...." he'd say with a pause before a tiny smirk appeared. "....Lady Shemha." he teased a bit despite what she had said. With her aid, Marcel would proceed to the lounge while thinking. Despite losing once again, the hybrid did have fun now that he thought about it, and also came out of this with not only just a better understanding of Majins, but also a better understanding of his dear friend. Hopefully they will get to spar again one day, but next time Marcel will be sure to come out the victor.
