Thread PL: 157 133 Heavy Weights equipped! Active PL: 39 283 It was a warm, sunny day in the western region of Planet Earth and Gira was taking advantage of the nice weather. For the first time in months, she found herself at her old training grounds, fifty miles off of West Capitol. The land here was scarred with countless training sessions and spars with friends and rivals, some of which she hadn't seen in a long time. The nearby forest had large swaths of trees that were ripped out of the ground or nearly so, looking like the point of a nuclear impact. Gira herself was in a part of the grounds that wasn't quite as scarred. She was dressed in her weighted Turtle School gi, seated on the soft grass, the wind flowing through her hair as she meditated, preparing herself for a day of training. She had spent a couple of days in relaxation, but now she was ready to redouble her efforts and train her heart out. There was a tournament coming up, and she was determined to win. A lot of her friends were participating as well, and she definitely wanted to show them what she learned. Oh yes, she definitely wouldn't be outdone. After an hour or two of meditation, Gira finally found her center. Getting up from her seated position, the girl opened her eyes and let out a long, even exhale. A smile found its way to her face soon after. With a powerful cry, Gira lashed out with her right foot, then her left, then threw several quick punches at the area in front of her. This went on for a few minutes until Gira felt she had warmed up effectively. The teen let out an exasperated sigh. She hated training alone. Shadowboxing could only help so much. She thought about calling Pota or another friend over to train, but eventually decided against it. She figured it would be far too last minute. The best thing she could hope is that someone willing to train would happen along.

(Thread PL: 34,104)
The warm sunny rays hit matt, rejuvenating him as he flew towards a final delivery for his job before he went on vacation. He was flying with his front exposed to the suns rays. Taking in the gentle warmth of the glowing orb. When he landed, he'd ring the doorbell, finish the transaction, and immediately soar as quick as he could back to his job. Immediately running in to get clocked out.
And now he was free, running out the door and into the afternoon sky, just to enjoy himself for one final day before he returned home to Iradana. How'd he spend it? He could meet with Pracross if he wanted, Chai- Really anyone came into his mind. [It'd be awesome to hang out with Gira and Nabel again-] and with that he paused, why did he think of them so randomly? He closed his eyes, feeling out the landscape for energy.
Oh snap! There's a familiar energy! He flew to the western region, nearby where she was, and outright ran the rest of the distance, before he came upon the clearing she was at. "Gira? Gira is that you?" He walks up to her, from behind an uprooted tree. "It's me! Matt!" He says. Matt's grown exponentially recently. His energy was calm, not frantic, and there wasn't a sign of the fearful behavior he used to have.

Gira had just started on her squats when she heard a vaguely familiar voice calling out to her. She turned to see a face she hadn't seen in quite some time; the Saiyan, Mattenes. She and Nabel had hung out with him once a while ago. Perhaps she had found a training partner after all? "Yo, Matt!" She grinned at the boy and ceased her exercising, approaching the Saiyan and giving him a wave. "Its been awhile." Gira reached out with her sixth sense and felt the boy's power. He had certainly grown a lot stronger since they last met. He was almost as powerful as she was back then! His demeanor had changed as well. From what she remembered, he was rather meek. It was good to see him grow into his own.
"You've changed quite a bit. Good to see you." She smiled and stretched. "So, what brings you all the way out here? This isn't exactly a popular tourist destination or anything like that." She chuckled. That was precisely the reason she chose this place to be her training grounds. It was close enough to her hometown to be easily accessible, but far enough away from civilization to make sure that she didn't disturb anyone with her training. She remembered being quite proud of the spot when she found it. It didn't mean too much now that she had a ship to train in, but still, there were a lot of memories here. That gave this location sentimental value.

"I was kinda in the neighborhood!" Matt smiles wide, scratching at the back of his neck, his usual tick. "I got a job, and I've gotten a lot stronger-" He paused, thinking she probably knew "Anyways! I came around cause After work I sensed you and I decided to come around and say hi! I'm gonna be gone for a while cause Im going home to iradana for a bit, and even when I come back i'll have to be in this tournament that's gonna go down! Oh- You gotta be in it too aren't you? I mean, you're probably heaps stronger than I am so it'd be weird if I was goin' but you weren't" He began to ramble, the look of excitement on his face too was kind of precious.
"But ah! i wanna ask if maybe- I could show you how strong i've gotten?" He offers, noticing that she was in her gi, and was more than likely training right now. "It'd probably be a nice warmup for you, and It'd help me get ready for the tournament!"

"Iradana... never heard of that." Gira put a finger to her chin as she tried to recall if she heard of a planet by that name. If anyone knew, it would be her mother. She had studied all sorts of alien cultures, wrote a bestselling book on the major ones, and even taught at the university in West Capitol. Matt mentioned a tournament after that. Indeed, Gira had signed up for it. "Yeah! I couldn't pass up the opportunity to meet and beat up strong fighters from other universes. It's gonna be a lot of fun for sure!" She grinned and gave Matt a thumbs up. "So I take it this means you've found your inner fighter? That's awesome. I always knew you had it in you."
Then came the magic words; a challenge to a spar. A grin crossed the hybrid's face. "Sure, i'd love to see how strong you've gotten. I've actually been wanting to train with someone in preparation for the tournament. There are all sorts of strong fighters that are gonna be participating, so I gotta get a lot stronger than I am now if I expect to even come close to winning." With that, Gira stood up straight and spread her stance, clenching her fists and bending her arms slightly in a casual ready stance. "Show me what you've got." And there was a challenge of her own. With her weights on, Matt actually stood a chance.
Perhaps if the Saiyan proved himself durable enough, she might even show him her Super Saiyan form. That one always seemed to impress Saiyans that hadn't yet attained it.

Matt would leave gushing about how beautiful Iradana was to a later time. The immediate excitement from the idea of sparing with someone like Gira was the focus right now "I'll tell you about it after the sparrin'" He says, a grin spreading across his own face to match Gira's. "I'll show you all I got!" He charged in, pushing his feet off of the ground, and using his aura, which flared to life and encompassed him to fly towards her. Showing that he could fly now, and! That his aura has manifested, not the shaky manifestation that came when nabel flipped his lid, but a vibrant green that showed his meek self was disappearing.
He would try to aim a punch to Gira's gut when he comes close to her range, trying his best to ignore the thoughts in the back of his head from the elders that was trying to inhibit his power output. He was going to move past that, he was gonna get strong to protect the people he cared for.

Gira was getting excited the more Matt showed off his abilities to her. He had grown more than she thought since they last met. Not only had he learned how to fly, but they aura he exuded now was one of confidence. Once it was clear that their battle was going to begin, Gira slipped into her Turtle stance by spreading her stance and putting her left fist down by her waist, raising her right fist to be even with her face and about sixteen inches in front. After that, Matt began his assault. He started by aiming a punch at Gira's midsection, which the hybrid blocked by moving her left hand to catch his fist. Gira countered with a punch aimed at Matt's face, followed up with a heavy spinning kick towards his midsection and then another punch aimed for his face.
After that, she would aim a lightning fast roundhouse kick towards his chest before leaping backwards a couple dozen feet to put some distance between her and her opponent. Gira shifted out of her stance for a moment to stretch casually. "Nice shot. Let's turn up the heat a little bit. I don't know know about you, but I wanna sweat!" The half-Saiyan grinned and shifted back into her stance, her expression becoming serious.

Matt felt the punch being blocked and the only thought that graced his mind was [oooooh.... oooooh no.] "Ack!" he yelped as he felt the punch collide with his face, and then an immediate "Augh!" as he felt the wind being knocked out of him. He stumbled back and felt her fist collide with his face again, knocking the remaining sense out of his brains, before he was knocked in the chest by the kick. He held firm surprisingly, he was like a sandbag! [Augh! Jeez that hurt so much!] He felt his legs shake. [Next.... next...] He tried thinking of something. His mind buzzing with old memories of the elders. Though, the immediate speech from Gira caught his attention He stopped smirking and his attention solely focused on Gira. Something new for the Potato boi. His energy calmed. And his aura dissipated as he recovered his sense. He admitted to himself that he couldn't just see the star school, and suddenly know everything about martial arts. All he had was an instinct that came out in the heat of the moment.
Matt shook his head, and charged forward, going for a punch. His eyes were focused on her face as he readied the punch, but as soon as the thought from the elders came up, he jumped over her and tried an Axe kick down on her head. [C'mon! at least one hit! I'm not gonna let this end without making a single scratch!] he hoped in his mind.

Gira kept her attention fixed on her opponent as he took a moment to recover his senses. He had a lot of spirit, but his style was rough and unpolished. With a bit of training, he could really become a great fighter. 'Maybe I could even help him in that pursuit... I did promise i'd give him a hand with that.' Gira grinned at Matt as he started his second assault. He went for a straightforward punch, which the hybrid found strange. She raised one of her arms to block, but the Saiyan changed his trajectory and instead leaped over her, going for a heavy axe kick to the top of her head. Reacting as quickly as possible with her weights on, she raised her other arm to block. Unfortunately, she was a little too slow and only managed to block it with minimal effectiveness.
The kick was slowed slightly when Matt's leg made contact with her arm, his kick colliding with the top of her head, causing Gira to jump back and stumble slightly in a daze. "Ah, damn." She tenderly rubbed the top of her head where she was struck before giving Matt a pained smile. "Not too bad. You really have gotten stronger. Let's see how you handle this one. It's a classic." Gira cupped her hands down ar her side and began to focus her energy in the space between her palms. "Kame..." A point of light formed in the center of the empty space, soon expanding into a ball of blue energy. "Hame..." The ball of energy grew larger to fill the space completely, the radiance bathing Gira and the area around her in a pale blue light.
Gira would only give Matt a smirk before she finally fired off her attack. "HAAA!!!" After finishing the name of her attack, she thrust her palms outwards, the blue ball of energy firing forth into a bluish-white beam that rocketed towards Matt at great speeds, burning all the grass in its path to the ground.

Matt's grin grew to a victorious smile as he achieved his goal! He got somethin' in! Ahhh.... ok now what? Matt doubled back as she did, and blinked in surprise as he witnessed her charging up a ball of blue-white light in her palms [Oh boy! Gotta!-] He immediately pulled his arms up, and charged up his signature move- The Tropical wave.
"right!" He called out, in a way of accepting the challenge. As the greenish energy gathered, the color changed to a light blue, and orange mess, swirling together like a galaxy. "It's not a classic, but I think this'll work!" He pulled his arms down as light specks gathered there to signify the end of it's charge. and then, WHOOSH! The energy erupted from the epicenter like a torrent of water, light blue like the water coming towards Gira, though as it traveled further, the blue energy turned a vibrant orange like the setting sun.
Though, in his body. It creaked under the sudden pressure he just unleashed. His body wasnt used to the energy output he was possible of just yet, and while it didnt have an effect right now, that wasn't indicative of what might happen at higher levels of strength. Though- of course he ignored this fact internally, trying to focus on being just like Gira, or Pracross, or Pieter.

Gira grinned as Matt defiantly stood against her Kamehameha. She always liked seeing her opponents show a little spirit. As the two attacks collided, Gira made note of the beautiful orange-blue-white color combination at the point of impact. The hybrid pushed back slightly against the attack, but she couldn't muster enough power with her weights on to overcome the attack. In a great explosion, the two attacks cancelled each other out. Gira wasn't about to stop there, though. As soon as the explosion occurred, the smoke cloud was cleaved in two from the wind around Gira's body as she moved through it at incredibly speeds on her way to Matt.
Once the hybrid reached his position, she attempted to strike him in the nose with a heavy punch before aiming a kick at the side of his torso, then at his stomach. She'd then follow up with a flurry of punches and kicks aimed at his face and chest, hopefully keeping her opponent on the defensive.
Pretty sure that a tech has to be equal to or greater than the other tech to cancel it out or overcome it. :3 I'll roll with it though. Doesn't really matter.

(OOC: Sorry! I tried checking with sketch earlier ; w; I must have phrased it incorrectly! Thanks for rollin' with it!)
Matt held up the beam until they caused the explosion. As soon as the attacks were finished, Matt lowered his guard for a moment to collect his stamina, and immediately Gira came flying through the clouds. Matt pulled up his arms to try to defend himself, but immediately he felt a fist slam into his nose. he felt a sharp searing pain travel up his nose, causing his sight to blur with tears as he recoiled holding his face. Though there'd be no quarter as the next thing he felt was a kick to his side, he felt something cramp up along with her kick and he curled towards the hit. [This punishment! Crud!]
As soon as the kick landed on his stomach, Matt's instincts kicked in. Without really thinking, he pulled his hand up defensively as she began to pummel him. A greenish unstable orb of energy formed, and immediately the orb burst into a shotgun spray of energy. Matt was completely left unaware of his instinctive attack, as he himself was more focused on the pain in his nose, which was still impairing his sight, not to mention the pain in his other body parts. Whether or not the shotgun spray hit, the momentum from it carried his other hand towards her, with an energy ball that was properly formed, aimed at her midsection area. Though, he gained a semblance of sight and noticed the ball. He blinked and panicked, thinking the ball was going to be pointless in close combat, and stopped the attack. Instead he went for a regular melee attack.

Gira's ambush seemed to be incredibly effective. Her punch to Matt's nose went through, impairing his vision while she began to pummel him with a flurry of punches and kicks. He attempted to counter with a ki attack that came out like a blast from a shotgun, but Gira quickly pivoted on her heel, moving to Matt's right flank to avoid the ki blasts before continuing her assault, instead aiming at the side of his face and his midsection. That wasn't the end of Matt's counterattack, however. He would then charge a ball of ki in his hand. Gira pivoted again to her opponent's front, but he seemed to change his mind about his strategy, dispelling the ki and instead going for a simple punch.
Gira was caught aback slightly by the sudden change in strategy, so Matt's fist was successful in colliding with her stomach, causing her to exhale a burst of air quickly as it was forced from her lungs. The hybrid leaped backwards thirty feet to lace some distance between her and her opponent. "Not bad. It seems you're starting to get in the groove. I think i'm ready to turn it up a notch or two." Gira spread her stance and got in a ready position, fists clenched and arms slightly bent. With a brief roar, Gira's violet aura flared up around her. "Alright! Let's see how you handle this!" The teen leaped towards her opponent, using her ki to change her flight path and moving to his back.
Once there, she would aim an outstretched palm towards the center of Matt's back. "Let's see how you handle this! Aether Cannon!" A yellow ball of ki formed in front of Gira's palm as golden electricity sparked between her fingers before launching the five feet between Gira and her opponents back.

Matt saw the successful offensive and smirked happily, even though it may be lopsided as she just beat his face in for a few good seconds. Me finally centered himself as she leaped back, and spoke. Holding up strong, though he couldn't ignore the damage now. His attention was slipping on what to do next, and more pulling himself so it looked like he'd taken that a LOT better than he did. "Yup! Let's keep goin' till we're satisfied!" He says, holding up his guard as he tightened his focus finally. Having a second to recover.
When she charged, he put one foot behind the other, and threw a punch intended to land right to her jaw, though- he saw her violet aura flare and then... nothing. "Huh...?" He looked on in surprise, till his internal senses picked up her energy which had been behind him [Oooooooh no... oooooh no oh no. This is gonna hurt isn't it?] {"Let's see how you handle this! Aether Cannon!"} His expression turned to surprise as he turned his head at the last second to see the yellow ball of energy hurtling towards him. He yelped and tried backing up but- come on. it really only delayed the inevitable as his thoughts turned to [Awh crud]
Boooom! Matt was blasted backward, soaring through the air. In the cycle of things in his perception. He saw the ball, he backed up, and the next thing he knew he was standing up. For a second there he'd lost... consciousness? Sense? He wasn't sure, and it was probably because of the attack coming at such a surprise. That did hurt, like hell- but it didn't put him out. Not just yet. He could feel a pit in his stomach that there was something she might be willing to show him. That this wasn't it. [It's like when your friend tells you that you get three guesses when she tells you to pick a hand, she'll change it up and make it hard, but you can tell she really wants you to get it right!] He felt was his grasp of the situation. He righted himself and smiled sheepishly. "Ahhh, well- guess I should show you somethin' too huh?- since you showed me that really strong yellow thing!" He widened his stance, held his arms bent at the elbow to his sides, his fists held forward. He focused inward.
His Ki split right in two as another matt was now by his side. Matt knew now- it split his power in half precisely, but at the same time. Technically two against one might be an interesting fight for. "Alright! I'm ready!" The both of them said, as they both charged forward- but taking a page out of Gira's book and splitting up, and returning to assault her from both sides with a flurry of still improper technique punches and kicks.
Multiform Technique used!

Post by Gira on Dec 14, 2017 2:50:57 GMT
Gira kept her arm extended after she fired her Aether Cannon, waiting to see just how Matt managed to handle it. It appeared he was able to endure her most basic attack well enough. At least he was standing and fully conscious, that was something. Perhaps he wasn't as soft as Gira initially thought. Indeed, he had come a very long way since they first met. That was for sure. Then came an interesting quip from her opponent. He referred to her Aether Cannon as the "strong yellow thing" and that he had something to show her too. At the first part, Gira chuckled. "Well, that's not the only "strong yellow thing" I can do."
She grinned proudly, referring to her Super Saiyan form. After that, things got a whole lot more interesting. Gira felt his energy begin to split, a second Matt appearing at his side. Gira grinned excitedly. "Well, this is an interesting turn of events. The multiform technique is something i'm quite familiar with. It can make a dull battle interesting and an interesting battle a whole barrel full of fun." Gira slipped back into her battle stance the second the two Matt's lunged at her. it wasn't entirely difficult for the hybrid to track two targets at once. The fact that they had the same energy was slightly difficult, but by combining sight with her energy sensing, she was confident she could track him effectively.
Making note of where the two energy signatures were located, Gira prepared her defense. Raising her guard in both of the Matts' direction, she attempted to block all of his blows. She was still outnumbered and not at full strength, however, so her defense was less than totally effective. A few of Matt's jabs and kicks connected with her stomach and side, causing Gira to gasp as the air was forced out of her lungs. She could create a clone too, she assumed, but it would be much more fun to just see what she could do in her current situation. Gira began to move backwards as she blocked as best she could.
Then, when the copies were in the most opportune position, Gira caught the leg of one clone and the fist of another, attempting to throw them in opposite directions. With a battle cry, Gira lunged at one of the clones, attempting to pepper him with several ki blasts before delivering a solid kick to his stomach.
