Due, to her short ramblings and worries she forgot all about introductions. How careless of her. Tallegra had only realized that when she noticed that people were being referred by names themselves. This along with Pieter's further inquiry about her name. Albeit Sansho's comment towards what she had said, helped her view the situation differently now. Though; when coming back from her distant mind to become reacquainted with the conversation. To the earliest convenience which was right after Pieter asking her again, and a moment or two before Cloud asked for Sansho's. She blinked from the awkward mental pause, then sheepishly laughed as it dawned on her to speak. "I'm sorry, I didn't even notice that. I am referred to as TaranTallegra. But, um. I am sure that it would be easier if I am simply called Tallegra." She finally said. With that out of the way, Tallegra focused on what was going on. The mentioning of a fight was an unorthodox, but not completely random thing to do. As far as Tallegra knew, fighters were in all sorts of forms. She knew a few back home, that shared their wisdom every so often. In fact half of her mind had been set to try to find any survivors from the attack on her village. In hopes to find a Warrior Class Majin that could train her. She hasn't had luck for an extended period of time. By this point any help is greatly appreciated. This is what brought her into being interested in Sansho's comment. She didn't take any of it to offence. In fact she saw it as a chance to grow beyond the barriers she's been held behind for so long. She immediately turned to look at him as she spoke. "Well then, Sansho sir. How about turning the weak into the powerful? If you are as strong as you say. I would like for you to train me. Or anyone for that matter." Her look while saying this was not some dopey, happy go lucky face. No her expression suddenly was incredibly serious. A glacier gaze that was determined to only hear one of two things. Yes or No?

The man across from Pieter stated to the Majin that she'd been able to make anything her home, if she simply did that. Pieter grunted in agreement with him, and got to learn that his name was Sansho with Cloud's inquiry. Pieter finished up his bowtie donut and grabbed a napkin to clean his hands. Taran Tallegra was the name of the Majin, preferring to be called Tallegra. Pieter smiled to her and stated, "It's good to meet you two as well!"A question for a fight was brought up modestly by Cloud, perhaps meaning to ask about a spar instead! Before Pieter spoke, Sansho spoke up with a grave underestimation of them. Taran spoke up with a serious expression on her face, while Pieter developed a cheeky grin in response! "Well, there's always sparring to test the waters more accurately," Pieter stated to Sansho, standing up as he did, "To just rely on your senses the way you are is like relying on a scouter! It shows one's current strength, yet the depth of strength is unclear. I'll be giving you guys a shot. I'm sure there's a part of the city we can go to spar openly! This is the martial arts capital of the world... Oh, and if anyone wants the last bowtie, go ahead!"Pieter was normally not in the mood for a sparring match. However, Sansho's underestimation made Pieter have a change of thought for now! He could use a little workout. ( Cloud to you bud!! For this, let's do DE/Saga rules without the risk of death. Keep track of KP!) (Pieter PL: 5,000 / 188,195) (KP: 3/3) |

Pieter offered the last bowtie to anyone who still wanted it, however Cloud wasn't in the mood to eat one. He paid his attention to Sansho. The demon had called him young, and weak. That ticked Cloud off. He was in a good mood before this seeing as how he just returned from Namek. The namekians there were friendly, causing Cloud to be more nice and open as usual, compared to his usual self. So nice and open in fact, that he'd invite a demon! Sansho even gave Cloud menacing looks but he didn't mind. But what Cloud did mind however, was Sansho underestimating him. Cloud had a massive ego from how he won many fights in the saiyan invasion and the city he used to live in. Further more, he always saw himself above humans and certain other aliens. So, when a demon, a race he hated, call Cloud weak, they were going to have problems. Cloud heard Pieter's comment and said, "Yeah, alright. I guess there should be a place we could spar." Cloud looked over to Sansho. While he was furious with what he said, Cloud wasn't going to say it out loud, not in front of the majin and Pieter.
On another note, the majin said her name was Tallegra, after much asking. Then, the next thing shocked Cloud, Tallegra asked the demon to train her! Does she not care that Sansho just called her weak?! It was strange to him.. One thing Cloud did know was that he wasn't going to do the same as Tallegra. He couldn't get it out of his head. Him being young doesn't mean a thing. Cloud was sure he was strong! Right? There was no way the demon could be that strong.. Cloud was going to prove to Sansho that he was powerful!
(OOC: Keep in mind that Cloud doesn't have Ki Sense so he has no idea how strong any of you are o3o Sansho |

It would seem a nerve had been struck—in one of them, anyway. The three took the demon's remark to each their own way.
Pieter was somewhat snarky, overconfident, perhaps, though it was clear in both visage and posture that he was a warrior of some experience. He had even some knowledge of the city, allegedly that there could be some place here where they could fight, as though it would be some sort of public spectacle.
The younger one, Cloud, did not take the comment in his stride as much as Pieter had done. He had shot the demon a look of contempt, something that Sansho was all too familiar with. Sansho was able to read it through his chakra, almost able to 'see' it as it flared around him like a veil naked to the mortal eye. His unhesitant agreement to a sparring match showed him to be fearless, perhaps in notion of getting a chance to prove himself. But, for the demon, it was more a case of reckless abandon and foolishness.
But his intrigue once more lay upon the young majin girl. Ever since he first saw her, he had an interest in her. She was young, she was naïve, but she had spirit, and knew of her limits. Very few mortals knew the nuance of humility, but she was one of them. Her attempt to coerce and persuade, however, was lacklustre, if not outright pathetic. Her attempts on Sansho only helped cement that conclusion.
"I do not take students," was all he replied with towards her remarks. Chugging at the last of his tea, the warrior placed the empty cup on the saucer. His eyes locked onto the taller of the two males, gazing with profound intent. "If you know of somewhere, then show me. I will accept your challenge."

As things progressed Tallegra started to figure out how the bulk of the situation was turning out. Try as she might this wasn't benefiting her all too well. Immediately turned down from her proposal. It was unfortunate, but she wasn't going to let that sour her mood. She only sighed in annoyance, and planted her left elbow on the table to hold up her head resting on it. With a frustrated huff, she stretched her right arm out, grabbing the last bowtie with her hand then began to eat it. Consuming it bit by bit, then turning it into energy.
From this point she only listened to the conversation. Seeing what was going on and where situations were leading. The notion of Pieter volunteering to locate the battleground for the impeding spar caught her interest as much as it did Sansho. If not more. Her thoughts simply being to take advantage of this opportunity opening up to better herself. All while seeing just what these people are, and what they can do. A win-win either way.

Cloud was fired up by Sansho's statement as well, but Tallegra's motivation seemed to have died down for a moment. Sansho took the hunter's statement as a challenge, which it was! Pieter smiled and replied, "Okay, good! Now, if you guys can follow me, the place should be a couple blocks around the corner behind me."Pieter would guide the party they had down the road and across a couple of streets. There, an open area was visible that was about three feet in height! A crowd had grouped around there, including several police and emts to be sure things went smoothly and as safely as possible with the rowdy crowd! There was also a stand with a chipper, middle aged man that was quite short, about 5 foot 3 inches, and wearing sweaty work clothes. He was calling out for sign ups to use the stands, and was also directing people to another nearby stand, where many people were with zeni in hand, calling out for bets to be made on fighters in the ring! Pieter would approach this man first, who greeted him nicely and asked him if he was aiming to participate in any matches! "Yes, actually! However, I was wondering if the fight could be arranged with myself and my group here," he stated, before turning to ask the group, "What do you guys think we should go with? Free for all, one versus one, tag team, doubles..?"(Posing the question to the group! Cloud) |

"One versus one." Cloud had an intent to defeat the demon. He always went with his gut when it tells him to fight someone and most of the time Cloud won. This time couldn't be any different. The place was filled to the brim with spectators, all trying to bet on fighters. Cloud wasn't a stranger to this. He came to these kinds of places once in a while in his spare time. Tallegra didn't seem to be excited, if at all. She was rejected from training under the demon after all.
Pieter seemed to be excited and happy for a fight. Which was a shame since Cloud was more than sure that the fight that was going to ensue won't be pretty. He was going to try to control his emotions, however Cloud couldn't guarantee that. Looking at Sansho, he seemed unimpressed, though that may just how his face looked naturally..
Cloud looked over to everyone to see how they would respond. He hoped for one versus one, Cloud didn't want anyone getting in his way when he's beating the demon to a pulp.. Probably shouldn't say that out loud... thought Cloud.
Sansho OOC: Can't wait! Even though Cloud's most likely going to get vaporized..

The taller male was definitely knowledgeable about this city, the demon thought to himself. He acquiesced to his request, and followed him, trailing behind the three of them as Pieter guided them to the location. Despite their peaceful demeanour, he had yet to fully trust them. He wanted them in his sights at all times wherever possible.
It hadn't taken too long until they had reached the place. A large open expanse near the center of the city had an equally impressively sized stage like a martial arts tournament ring. The demon had seen something like this before back in the Southern Lands, although it was not as grandiose as this one. Quite a bit of money must have gone into building this, more than any single dojo could afford in any case.
Pieter had approached another person, someone who was apparently in charge of the fights around here. He seemed somewhat excited at the prospect of having a small group of contestants ready to put on a show. The tribal-looking warrior had asked what kind of fights the others preferred. It was all the same to the demon—it wasn't as though he was at a disadvantage in any circumstance.
Though the smaller male was quick to respond. Sansho had caught him staring at him as though his preference of a one-on-one fight was directed towards the demon. Sansho folded his bulked arms across his barrelled chest and huffed. "A singles fight is acceptable," he responded. "You had best be prepared, boy." the warning was directed at Cloud, the demon's crimson eyes gazing at him made it apparent.

There wasn't much running through Tallegra's mind as she followed the group. She was sort of just...there at the moment. Drawing blanks in terms of what she had planned to do. Did she lose courage for anything? No. She just wasn't really sure how she wanted to go about the growing situation. Her eyes looking around at the place Pieter took them to and absorbed nearly every detail presentable. Her ear holes easily noticing the sounds of the larger presence of beings waiting to be entertained. Tallegra stopped at the same time as everyone else, letting Pieter do the talking. Nearby to the other three, with nobody coming across her mind in particular. Not like the tensions that were growing between Cloud and well Sansho. Although she wasn't very sure Sansho even cared to be honest. Still, even if she was neutral on the matter, she had to convince herself to be a bit more positive about this. There is still tons of opportunity to learn something valuable. What may that be? She has not the slightest clue.
The question was, how is this spar suppose to go? Cloud immediately wanted it to be singles matches. Well to rephrase. He wanted "A" singles match with Sansho is more of what he was saying, even if he didn't say it directly. It is easy to tell those sort of hidden meanings, especially by body language. Sansho himself agreeing to that type of match as well. She didn't know what Pieter might have been thinking, but with how it has been set up so far? She'd go ahead and let what has already been made inevitable slide by. Speaking up after a long while of silence since they left the bakery.
"It looks like this is going to be a series of one vs one matches big guy." She chimed in towards Pieter. The idea although exciting was also sort of..boring. Not enough incentive in her opinion to even care. Which prompted her to yawn after she had spoken. Did she get enough sleep actually? Meh, nevermind it doesn't matter. She would hold her hands behind her head, waiting for this whole event to kick off.

"You got it! One on ones it'll be," Pieter stated with a grin, before turning to the staffer and told him, "We'll be doing one on ones then. My name's Pieter, her name's Tallegra, the other big guy is Sansho, and this guy's named Cloud."
The man pinned the each of them down, before asking Pieter how he wanted everyone to be matched up today.
"I'm thinking I go up against Tallegra, while Sansho and Cloud go against each other," Pieter retorted, "Then, whoever wins those rounds goes against each other! Those who lose can choose to fight if they want. Nothing too serious... Oh, but if people wanna bet on our matches, that's completely fine!"
Pieter took off his suit jacket, revealing underneath his well built physique! As he did, he asked them, "If that's alright with you guys, who goes first? Tallegra and I or you 2? It looked like there was only one "
(Alright, guys! There's only one stage, so we'll go at this one at a time. Those on stage and fighting get posting precedence while the others simply post, for the sake of keeping the thread moving along. By this, I mean whoever's fighting doesn't have to wait on those watching to post to the others! Sound good? Also, whoever chooses to go first, the announcer'll make it known to everyone in the crowd!)

Pieter introduced everyone to the man, who seemed to be managing the place. It seemed everyone decided on a one versus one, which was Cloud's preference. He was never good at cooperating in fights. Pieter then asked who would go up first, as there was only one arena. "If it's alright with you, Sansho and I will go first." The demon seemed to know of Cloud's anger towards him. He gave Cloud a warning, telling him to be prepared. He took that as a sign of war, saying, "Same goes for you."
Tallegra still seemed bored, waiting for something exciting to happen, and Cloud was going to make that happen. He stepped onto the arena, it had ring ropes around the ends with metal bars in the corners. In fact, the whole thing seemed like a wrestling ring! Strange design choice, thought Cloud. The man yelled into the microphone, "And here's the first fighter! Cloud!" The man talked just like any exaggerating announcer would. However the crowd seemed rather unimpressed, possibly because of Cloud's skinny structure. Most of them already betting on the second fighter even though they haven't seen them yet! Cloud was rather annoyed but shrugged it off. He was going to win and prove everyone wrong, along with the demon.
"Well, you gonna come up here and fight?" Cloud said directly to the demon, gesturing him to get up on the ring. Well, let's see what happens.. thought Cloud. He then chuckled under his breath. What am I thinking? I already know what's going to happen. I'm going to win, thought Cloud, oozing with confidence.

The decision was made; one-versus-one bouts is the rules for the upcoming fights. It wasn't a long process to decide who would be fighting who, with Pieter taking the lead on it. Sansho would be fighting against Cloud, and Tallegra against Pieter. The winners would go on to fight each other, like a knock-out style tournament.
The majin seemed to be nonchalant about the whole idea, yawning as she spoke to the muscular male. For a moment it seemed as though those two were about to step into the arena to kick things off, and perhaps, in the majin's case, get it out of the way.
Cloud was quick on his feet, jumping onto the platform before anyone else could even have a second thought. He was lively, eager… perhaps reckless. He called out to the demon, almost tauntingly so. The boy wasn't just reckless, but also overconfident.
Sansho was going to make him humble.
After the announcer had introduced Cloud to the audience, they were silent. The boy was effectively dead-on-arrival, and the silence only bolstered that further. The tension only grew more and more as the demon continued to wait from outside of the ring. He wanted to drag this out. He was going to let the boy suffer the indignity of being on stage in front of a deadpan audience, their eyes solely on him.
He figured he'd suffered enough—for the moment, in any case. Suddenly a flash of dark colors accented only with bright crimson streaks jumped into the air before landing with a resounding thump onto the arena floor, the demon landing on one knee and his hand flush against the stonework. Slowly he stood, raising to his full nearly seven foot height, his chiselled, scarred, muscular frame in full view.
Immediately the crowd broke out into a low hum like a steady motor engine, the sounds a mix of murmurs and mutterings. Some in the crowd wondered how the boy was going to stand any chance against this ogre of a man, and others were betting each other on how long this fight was going to last.
The announcer introduced Sansho to the crowd. By now, smatterings of the crowd were reciting his name, now that they had a name to his face. It was becoming apparent that they were rallying behind the demon, even those who didn't stand to win much in the bets due to the high odds and low payout—It was still a payout all the same.
With the hand thrown down, the announcer gave a start to the fight. But Sansho didn't bother to make the first move. Instead, he held out an arm, outstretched and palm upwards. He curled his fingers inwards, beckoning cloud to make the first move.
"Show me your strength, child," he spoke out, his voice deep and gravelly, his tone blunt and taunting. A small yet vocal "oooooh" rumbled from the crowd from the demon's goading.

As the demon waited longer and longer to approach Cloud on the arena, the crowd eyes were focused on Cloud, complete silence. The demon was obviously trying to make Cloud suffer! He didn't necessarily care that the audience was unimpressed by him, but instead annoyed at how the demon would try to make him suffer from embarrassment! Cloud's smirk disappeared, now replaced with a slightly angered face. Finally the demon jumped into the air and to the blind eye he would've looked like a mixture of colors, but the hybrid could still see Sansho. The demon then landed in front of crowd on his knee, making a loud thump. Hums and whispers filled the crowd, many of them betting on the demon, nearly none of them on Cloud. Once the announcer told the crowd of the demon's name, they began to chant Shanon's name. Cloud was even further annoyed. The announcer swung his hand down, the fight has begun. The demon gestured Cloud to go for the first move, instead of rushing towards the him! He's underestimating me, isn't he? That damn demon thinks I'm weak! Think again! thought Cloud. He rushed through the air, flying closer and closer to the demon. Cloud's hand formed into a fist prepared to punch the demon right in the face. However, when Cloud rushed close enough to the demon, he stopped right in his tracks, opened his palm, and released a barrage of ki blasts close to Sansho's face! How would the demon react?!

Cloud and Sansho were called up, the announcer trying to hype the match between the two. However, it seemed some had been wearing scouter visors, to check up their rankings. Since Sansho wasn't holding back, those who were looking were immediately placing bets on the Red haired giant, anticipating this would be over in only a few seconds compared to the teenager! Pieter, meanwhile, didn't make a bet, knowing that this was a losing bout to begin with! However, he wanted to show Tallegra that there was always a chance, in the most minute of odd between those two. "Tallegra, lets go sit in the stands," Pieter requested to Majin, pointing over at the stands with his thumbs, "I can probaby tell you a thing or two based on what's going on in their match... Good luck you two!"Pieter said this to Sansho and Cloud, who'd been making their way to the stage. Pieter, meanwhile, made his way to the audience's seats, which were more like aluminum benches that leveled one after another upwards, to about 10 flights above the ground floor for all patrons to see the stage, spanning long enough for at least 100 people to sit, comfortably, if they spaced out evenly! They were definitely in favor Sansho, just about a 95 to 1 on Sansho winning this out of the 100 patrons there, excluding Tallegra, Pieter, and those who were grouping there for the fights! The hunter whistled to Cloud, ushering him verbally, "Oi, Cloud! Don't let him have the first move! You're gonna lose any chance of winning if you-"Cloud would do this before he spoke, rushing at Sansho with a fist to the face. Pieter pointed that out to Tallegra, telling her, "See how he's attacking right now? He hasn't tried to scope out Sansho's physical range, alone. He's already going for Sansho's face! Can you guess what'll happen before Sansho strikes?"(@deltabuu your thoughts/response to mine! Sansho, you're up!) |

The boy was on the ball, coming at Sansho head on, taking the initiative. It wasn't the most strategic of all openers, but it was something. He dashed straight towards Sansho, not even paying attention to the demon's extended hand, and went for an open blow.
Sansho made the boy pay for his recklessness by quickly grabbing at his wrist with the extended hand, his thick digits wrapping around like a vice, holding it in place. The demon felt a surge of power in Cloud's hand as it splayed open. Before the blasts of ki could fire, he pushed his arm up over the boy's head, letting the blasts fire up into the sky. What recklessness, Sansho thought to himself; why would he fire such an attack in such a crowded area?
It was clear that this child was a danger to the people here. A part of the demon wanted to end this fight early—perhaps now—to avoid potential collateral damage that would more than likely occur. But the warrior's heart in him wanted to drag this out, wanting to enjoy the fight for as much as he could.
Still holding onto the boy's wrist, a huge, rock-like knee rose up to strike Cloud in the stomach with the intend of heavily winding him. Whether the strike connected or not, Sansho would then quickly let go of his wrist and attempt to drive the blade of his foot into his opponent's chest with a powerful side kick.
