Etoru was so excited for a spar! He just couldn't wait! He really wanted to see what Mr.Pieter could do but once he told him to hold on for a second Etoru frowned. He listened to their conversation and groaned. "We don't need a plan everyoneeee. Just punch and kick! You're super duper strong Ms.Reikiko! Just...beat all the bullies up!" Etoru didn't see why not. She said she really was holding A LOT of her power back. It seemed real enough for Etoru. Bored as he was, Etoru floated around, the group on his back waiting for something to happen. Heck, he didn't care if Mr.Green was here right now, he was just boooored. He floated until he sat upright and descended slowly on Maeve's shoulders. "Hi Ms.Maeve!" He said with a bit of a giggle.

It seemed things were finally about to get under way. One by one, the warriors of Earth present began to partner up and branch off with the purpose of training; it wasn't a bad idea at all. Sparring could do plenty more than just increase someone's combat experience and battle power, in Liang's experience. It laid a lot of groundwork toward the road of friendship and camaraderie, and even healthy rivalries. He found himself nearly downright amazed but clearly impressed with the number of willing warriors that had shown up, responding to Bing's requests to be here. He still couldn't believe how much the other human had grown; sporting his uncanny hair which was once black, and styled much more differently. It seemed like only yesterday the two had teamed up to dismantle a shrine being used as a base by some unfriendly zoanthropes, back to back, fighting off a tide of fighters. It only motivated him that much more to give his all for training in preparation for the battle to come; he'd definitely surpass him again one day! Eagerly stretching as he awaited a training partner to loosen up his toned and muscular form, he closed his eyes as he let out a relaxed groan, feeling his muscles wake and come alive. When he finally did approach the demoness, she did indeed shake his hand; he found himself somewhat surprised at the soft feel of her palm, what with her scales being present. As she flushed up further, she quickly blurted out a request to spar with him. Finding himself excited, he offered her a genuine and kind smile, looking eager as ever. ''Oh! You want to spar with me? Awesome, I can't wait!'' Releasing his handshake gently, he remained near her. ''Maeve, huh? That's a pretty name. Where are you from?'' He wasn't sure why and couldn't exactly place his finger on it, but he was generally interested in getting to know a bit more about her. She was certainly mysterious, what with that massive sword she carried. Her scales already told him she was likely part of a species he'd never encountered, and only added to his curiosity all the more. She had to be just as excited as he was. Her face had gone all flushed with eagerness and everything! Suddenly, a request for his attention (as well as everyone else's) caused him to turn his head and tilt it curiously every so slightly. It seemed there would be a change of plans before any sort of sparring would be taking place. Overhearing the beginnings of a battle stratagem to counter the Saiyan invasion, Liang already knew where he was going to be going; South City. It was the site of his future dojo and it had become what he called home, even though he still had living family. He hoped the Banner would be heading to the same place. The only thing that would change that would be if he were desperately needed elsewhere, but a lot of strong warriors had shown up; it was a sure thing that the Saiyans were in for a nasty surprise!

He'd sigh rolling his eyes for a moment. All this planning and plotting. There was several groups involved likely in earths defense and not even all of them were here. Planning was only gonna help so much especially since they only partially knew what to expect. Jarvis didn't speak against it but he figured he'd have a idea or two when the time came for it. His people would be ready at the right moment. He liked Bing and Pieter he really did but he just didn't see this planning being nearly as important as training and being strong enough for their enemies. In the end that's all saiyans understood anyway. Pure bloods only understood the language of power. Jarvis expecting this as his plan was already to kill most he came across and only spare any if it was needed. But it would have to wait till the time came and passed of the events to come. " If you've got any ideas then lets hear them. Anyone got any grand epic plans? Perfect battle strategies? Cause as far as I see it training IS one of our best bets as well. Just encase we need more power to take whatever force that uppity mouthed bitch of a queen brings with her. I'd rather have the force to stomp then risk having a plan we don't have the power to back up. But hey you wanna talk strategy sure... I'll bite." Making it clear he'd rather be training and practicing. But was at least understandable if they truly did wish to discuss plans and tactics. He'd already made his point he wanted to fight bing when the time came to pass. So until then they'd just see how things played out. Maeve Rakshasa

Maeve had keep her attention centered on the tiger warrior. Unlike most of the people gathered: Maeve lacked the ability to get a read on Liang's power level. So, she only had her skills of observation to give her an idea of who this man was and what kind of fighter he was. Her golden eyes traced over his form (practically drinking it in) as she stared over him for a moment. His build was lean but toned and defined, he wore no weapon that she could immediately see, and his eyes were sharpened as if tempered by combat. He was a warrior alright, she theorized he was one that favored speed and skilled technique for his fighting style. If she were right: it'd certainly be an interesting counter to her more power heavy style. A soft little smile formed on her lips as he complimented her name. She cast her gaze down to the side in desperate and bashful bid to try to hide the radiant flush that was sure to burn on her scaled cheeks. She wasn't used to getting genuine compliments so she didn't exactly know how to react. She blinked however as he continued by asking where she was from. She slowly looked towards him, thoughts on whether or not she should tell him the truth ran through her mind. Part of her felt she should be proud of her heritage and her clan (despite everything.) Another felt that she should try to distance herself from her demonic roots, mainly so this man wouldn't suddenly judge her so harshly. After all, she really wanted to leave a good impression on him. "I'm from the dem-" She was cut off however when Bing began to fluster as the tribal saiyan barked at him. She glanced over to the poor man as he flailed his arms a bit before settling on a dramatic facepalm. She smiled at the frantic action while placing a hand over her lips. She closed her eyes as a sweet almost melodic giggle escaped her lips. There was something oddly charming and, dare she say it, cute about the air of 'goofiness' that he seemed to carry about him. She watched as he quickly corrected himself and changed gears, deciding to try and rally everyone in order to plot something of a plan out. Right away people seemed to groan at the suggestion, the scruffy hybrid being among the first. Maeve was about to interject when she suddenly got a passenger in the form of Etoru. She looked back with a smile. "Hello Etoru." She said happily, surprisingly not minding the physical contact (she normally was squeamish when others tried to display physical affection.) Etoru however, was just an innocent kid so she didn't mind it too much. She walked away from Liang though and turned to Bing before speaking. "Excuse me. Sir." She said quietly after clearing her throat. "I realize, that I sort of crashed this event of yours and for that I apologize." She said looking to the floor, trying not to meet his gaze as she admitted her fault. "...Though, I'd like to say..." She got on one knee and bowed her head. "That I, Maeve of the Rakshasa Clan would be honored to fight alongside you and your companions." The action, while sincere, would look a little silly since Etoru was currently resting on her shoulders. She looked up, the molten gold of her eyes staring up to and locking in on the cool silver of Bing's. "Where would you have me?"

Cipher watched calmly as Reikiko took on her new form, in a rather impressive display he might add. Even though this was only a simple sparring match, the android couldn't help but feel a little nervous about going up against someone so much stronger than him. He had seen what Reikiko was capable of during their battle with Vipoi.
He braced himself when suddenly, Reikiko completely vanished, only for him to sense her power level appearing behind him. She was fast, really fast. The android spun around just in time to bring his arms up to block the strike. The force of the attack pushed Cipher back, but the android remained standing. There had been a considerable amount of force behind the attack,maven though Reikiko had said she was trying to keep here level similar to his own.
That's right, she can't sense my power level.
He didn't know whether to feel honored that she thought he was this strong, or worried about disappointing her that he wasn't. Or maybe both.
But he could worry about that later. Right now, it was his turn. As he saw Reikiko hop back, Cipher shot forward, eyes glowing as his systems began to push themselves. He knew he needed to keep the pressure on, to not give the opponent a chance to recover and regain their footing. The android zig-zagged as he closed the distance between him and the homonculus. Left. Right. Left. Right. Left.
And then, he seemed to vanish as he let loose a burst of speed, going straight forward instead of right which most people would predict, attacking Reikiko from her right. Cipher closed in, fist ready to strike when...
"Hold up everyone! Reikiko, Cipher, hold off for a moment!"
Cipher stopped, his fist inches away from Reikiko. As the glow in his eyes faded, Cipher glanced over at the others. The one known as Peiter had figured that strategy was a better option than training, and Bing seemed to agree. As Kaula described the Saiyan forces, the android took a step back, straightening his coat.
"If it is indeed only three Super Saiyans we need to concern ourselves with, I can see that we're very well equipped from the task. Reikiko, working alongside Vipoi of course, defeated a Super Saiyan during the Western Capitol conflict, and has become much more powerful since them. Kaula here is also a super Saiyan, as is Jarvis, and Bing is on their level as well. And while I have yet to battle one myself, I would say I'm on a similar level as a Super Saiyan as well? That gives us a grand total of five individuals who can bring down their strongest three." Six. They had six individuals. But he wasn't going to bring up Vipoi yet. He didn't know how people would react to the knowledge that he had been rebuilt, after all he had done.
"Then there's the matter of the rest of their army. If they are indeed, as Kaula put it, 'nobodies', then I can predict that most of us here won't have too much trouble battling them. The main advantage they have would be numbers. While I have met Zucceta, and can attest that the woman is as arrogant as they came, I sincerely doubt she would take chances and decide to simply throw everything she has at us.
As for the civilians, you can leave that to the BBA. Despite the public relations nightmare that Vipoi has caused us, we're still prevalent throughout the planet. We can organize evacuations for the people. I doubt the Saiyans would target them. If their pride is as big a factor as Kaula said (and from my experiences with Saiyans, it is), then they'll want to target the strong first. They'll target us."
Cipher paused, allowing his words to sink in, hoping it would put some fears at ease. From the sound of it, the situation seemed pretty good for them. Then again, why would Reikiko say they were going to die if it was?

Defrosch nodded to Articho. "Solid. Now lets see-" The Arcosian looked back at the group, only to see that the strange ki-less individual and Reikiko were already about to get right down to business! "-What else there is to know.." Defrosch slowly facepalmed, letting out a slightly exasperated sigh. Sure, he was very ready to have a good old sparring match, but the fact is- there was apparently an invasion force coming. If you want to win something on a scale such as this, you would need a solid plan as well as solid fists. Luckily for Defrosch, Pieter had basically been on the same train of thought in this instance. "Big guy has the right idea, y'know. Out of any advantages there are to have, I'm gonna assume most if not all of ya's consider this planet 'your turf' so to speak." Defrosch made the appropriate air-quotes gesture as he spoke. "If there's one thing I know 'bout shitty aggressive empires like that, its that they'll attack populated areas just to make a point. Because of that, its only logical to know the ins and outs of any major city, using anything you can get your hands on to fool the enemy with... Not to say the enemy won't have tricks up its own sleeves." The Arcosian shrugged, seeing that he had made his agreement to Pieter's statement concrete enough. As Pieter questioned Reikiko's companion, she mentioned Arcose, which caused Defrosch to roll his eyes and make a grunt of disgust, effectively spacing out, causing him to not register what she was saying. He thought that it was surprising that the Arcosian Empire hasn't tried its hand at invading Earth yet since his extended residence here. Oh well, it one less problem to deal with. Even Bing chimed in, expressing his own thoughts, he mentioned splitting into several divisions, which sounded solid enough, the ki-less stranger also made a good point: Saiyans have the tendency to attack that which is stronger than them all too often. Quite an embarrassing trait for anyone to have, really- yet in every way- deliciously exploitable. "Now, I agree with that idea. Hopefully we split right and they split wrong, is all... Given what Ol' Ki-less over there just pointed out, that seems rather likely." He looked on as the salamander-y stranger- identifying herself as Maeve of the Rakshasa Clan- had decided to kneel at Bing's feet... With Etoru on her back... The whole situation looked rather silly, and Defrosch really was trying to hold back some laughter. Its best to be cautious, and thus, remain unstabbed... "Heh.. Your knight has a good point, Bing. You called for the meeting, what're your thoughts on team divisions?" ...Ahh, but he couldn't resist using a teensy bit of his witty charm... Oh dear, that'll probably come around to bite him in the ass pretty soon.
Doot doot, Reikiko your move~

It was just in time that Bing's voice reached them, for Reikiko's own fist had already been raised in preparations to counter the android's own assault. However, at the same time the conversation had returned back to a more tactical subject. Bing was asking about whether Kaula knew about the location Zucceta herself might appear at. It would be difficult to predict such a thing, unless Kaula somehow possessed the war plans of the Solar Saiyan Empire, at least if they had any. A frown crossed upon her visage, silently pondering about the state the cities would be in. Surely the Blue Banner Army and the volunteers among the Avalonian Knights would be inclined to help defend their world against the threat of the Saiyans. Nevertheless, amidst all this debating she wasn't certain whether they had enough experienced people to deal with the invasion of a whole army. Instead of providing some insight Reikiko merely kept to herself, her gaze cast onto the gathering while she continued to think about the battle that would surely await them down the line. What type of things would they do for the sake of victory? It was that question that most likely would decide the level of danger that the Saiyan would represent. It was naive to presume that their defenses would be flawless, in the end they were warriors and not strategists or tacticians. At best it would have been essential for one of them to take the role of the field commander, giving the warriors their orders on where to move, possibly creating a proper defense against the invasion rather than a ragtag team of heroes who would be acting on impulses. Then again, it was equally foolish to think most of the warriors here would be able to place their pride and personal issues aside to listen to the orders of such a person. No, if Reikiko's assumptions were right this invasion would become quite a bloody battlefield where victory could be possibly determined in the blink of an eye. This wasn't a war between two commanders who tried to outwit each other, but a simple large-scale brawl with no leadership or coordination aside from a young substitute kami's good intentions. --- Short post is short but ah well...

Many of them proceeded to stop what they were doing and get an idea of the plan was for the battle ahead of them! This was good, with the dark armored Arcosian make a valid point on fighting on advantageous turf. Cipher seemed fairly confident in their numbers and ability, clarifying the fighting power of each of the warriors at hand. Pieter nodded in agreement to this, but he had a counter argument to the statement. "Right now, we're going off of old information. What if they figured out the way to produce many more warriors of that caliber," Pieter pointed out, "Granted, this is a worst possible scenario, but we don't know the forces we're fighting well. I met the now Queen a few months ago, when she and a man named Zasho came along that looked like a friend of mine, and I had that aura of feeling that she's a vicious fighter. How she fights, I don't know about. If we're going to be grouping up, we need to have one of our strongest there to safeguard against her direct assault. If she's not alone, and brings the entire force to the same spot. we meet her in full force. If she splits off to attack the main cities, then grouping will be fine. But, there needs to be a quick understanding, but that'll come later. First..."Pieter paused, to look at the the others that were paying attention, to make sure they were still on track. From what he could tell, they were, so he proceeded to direct the question to Kaula. "Being a former warrior of these foes, what more can you tell us about the enemy? What was their mentality, as far as you understood from them?"( Kaula, you're up! The briefness should be getting things across, aye?)

Quietly stood there as she let out a quiet sigh. Her arms moved to cross beneath her chest as she closed her eyes for a moment. She just quietly listened to the other people speak, lightly tapping her finger's against her upper arms as the Saiyan girl let out a loud sigh. She wasn't going to try to speak up over all this nonsense that was being said here and there. The others trying to formulate plans, trying to make sense of what the Saiyans might do. She rolled her eyes in response, sighing out again. "If you think that the worse we'll have to deal with is only 3 super saiyans, you'll be disappointed." the girl said as a hand came up to adjust her scarf, "There will be more. I'm willing to bet she'll bring more troops here then when she went to war with Arcose. However, yes.. Cipher." she'd say as she looked towards the android, "The stronger ones will focus on us, yes. To let others terrorize the city and civilians." the girl muttered out before looking towards Pieter for a few moments. Her eyebrows raised as she let out a sigh, "Well.. As I believe I said before. There's Natto, he's about as strong as me. There's Mayze. He's still strong, but not as strong as me or Natto. And then there's the queen. Did you wanna know more or what?" Articho Reville

Articho crossed his arms, his brow furrowed as he studied Kaula and Pieter. They seemed to know quite a bit about the queen's forces, especially Kaula. He was beginning to doubt they could actually trust her. She used to be on Zuccetta's side and who's too say she wouldn't go back. She could be feeding information to the Queen. The hybrid kept his thoughts to himself, though, given how far left field they were. "Look, does it matter who they've got stacked up against us?" Articho cut in. He had heard Kaula mention Mayze and he relished the chance to get back at the Saiyan had beaten him once before. "We've got a lot of strong people on our side while they've got three Super Saiyans. They will likely be the ones in charge of separate assaults around Earth. We should divy up the squads around which one of these Super Saiyans and that squad will deal with them and any supporting forces they have. Should be a piece of cake." ------------------------------------------- Defrosch

Defrosch raised an eyebrow at the constant mention of 'Super Saiyans'. It was somewhat hard to take in that the legend had become real- not only once, much like he had heard through rumors of a shining blond warrior appearing in West Capitol- but at least three separate times on the enemy side... However, it seems as though they are not the only ones, and there may some among this group of warriors and allies that are not currently present. He was mulling over these facts to the point where he wouldn't register much else of that discussion, the intricacies of the legend were far more interesting than the names of the enemy or whatever there was to be said of Arcose. Furthermore, having fully bowed out of that conversation, Defrosch kept the rest of his attention on Bing, patiently awaiting the guardian's response.
Heyo, I was just told that the turn order has become slightly reshuffled, and its as follows [Bing Gan > Kaula > Reikiko > Articho Reville > Defrosch > Cipher 24 > Maeve Rakshasa > Katagyu > Jarvis > Zexama > Liang > Etoru] Pieter is out of the order because he said that he has made a fair amount of posts & Nemo isn't currently available due to school. So they'll join in when they can/are able to. Otherwise, Cipher 24 you're up~

There was no doubt in Cipher's mind that Zucceta would bring more than just the three Super Saiyans. After all, she had seen what the Earth was capable of, and even with her Saiyans, had simply sat back and allowed them to battle the rogue Vipoi themselves. If anything, he predicted she would go overkill on them, just to prove her 'superiority'. Cipher almost felt a little giddy at the idea of showing her just what they were capable of.
"It would seem we've already worked out our strategy. Divide ourselves up to handle each of the strike teams. Our strongest engage the Super Saiyans while the rest handle the troops. We'll need to hit them hard and fast. I predict that they'll try to time they're invasion with the full moon, allowing the non super Saiyans to go Oozaru. Even though rhey're not as strong, those Oozaru are capable of a lot of damage." His eyes narrowed, remembering his past encounters with the Oozaru, and the destruction they had left. Cipher had been training how to fight giants like that effectively since his battle with Hitaro.
Cipher then turned his gaze ono Kaula. "Tell me, What's the average power level for Saiyan soldiers? For their elite fighters, exceptions withstanding of course." He would be foolish to believe that the Super Saiyans would be the ones standing out in the attack force. There were no doubt other exceptional Saiyans in the army as well.
