(Thread PL: 191,184) ( Defrosch) Fukurou Forest. Raisu quite liked it. A shame it tended to be in harm’s way a lot of the time. His fight with Jarvis for the Dragon Ball, that one time he turned into an insane giant ape… Fun times, he guessed, but ultimately destructive. However, there had been that one small encounter that Raisu had had that did not end in destruction or fighting, which was a rarity indeed these days. It had been his encounter with the Arcosian, Defrosch. He had seemed a nice enough guy, after all he didn’t murder anyone in front of Raisu. It was sad that that’s what Raisu’s standards for ‘nice’ were these days, but regardless: Defrosch seemed like he was an okay guy, if a bit salty. Raisu was heading back for the pond they had first met at. For some reason or another, Raisu felt the strong desire to meet Defrosch again. Perhaps it was that Defrosch was quite strong. If he were anything like the other Arcosian Raisu had met, Polar, he had hidden layers of power. And Raisu could not help but be drawn to strong people. What could he say? His Saiyan blood had a little more control over him than he liked. He was a slave to his impulses, and his impulses demanded that he meet the Arcosian again. Now, hopefully, he’d be around… He was not. Raisu sighed as he reached the pond. Of course, what were the chances he’d be there anyway? Not good, that was for sure. He’d have to get in contact with Defrosch the only way Raisu knew how: telepathy. Raisu grimaced. The Arcosian did not like telepathy. He could hardly blame him. It must not be fun to have someone else crawling around in one’s brain. But, if it was the only way he knew how to get in contact with the Arcosian… ‘Hey, Defrosch,’ he thought, spreading his mental words out across the Earth, hoping to catch him, ‘You wanna meet up by that pond we met at? I’m around if you wanna chat or anything.’ Of course, Raisu was secretly spoiling for a fight. But he wasn’t going to say that. It’d be rude. And for now, all he could do was wait and hope the Arcosian showed up. If only he had brought that piece of driftwood he’d been carving...

[Thread PL: 39,646] [SU] Liquid Ki - Mist Active! Ki suppressed to 10000]
Luckily for young Hanamura, his acquaintance wasn't actually all too far off. Defrosch was actually somewhere around in Fukurou forest on his own business. He was wandering around looking for any sign of those weird serpent creatures and that stuffy and jittery owl Zoanthrope from a while back. 'Oh come on, they've gotta be around here somewhere...'
As Defrosch trudged through the forest he came across a pile of broken down, charred trees and a few craters that were slowly being covered up by various patches of moss and mushrooms. 'Huh. This is new.' At this point he could also sense another person nearby. One of considerable strength- Raisu. The Hybrid also sent a telepathic message specifically for Defrosch, much to his annoyance, but he would let it slide this time as Raisu probably forgot that Defrosch doesn't like being the recipient of telepathy.
On the flipside, Raisu wasn't all that bad to talk to, quite cool actually. The guy wasn't a grumpy asshole that decided to fling insults around at random without thinking, so that was a plus... Yeah, Defrosch's standards for 'cool people' are pretty weird. The hybrid mentioned that fishing pond in his message, and it wasn't all too far from where Defrosch currently was, so it didn't take him long to fly over. "Ah, Hey. There you are. Again with the brain-mail? Why not find out some other way? Like I dunno.. Cellphone?" The Arcosian scoffed and shook off some leaves and sticks. "Also, did you see an own Zoanthrope or some creepy lookin' snake monsters come by here at any point?"

And then the Arcosian arrived. Quickly, too. Raisu was surprised. Perhaps he did stick around the forest. Either way, it was convenient for Raisu. It meant that he could get right to business. Still, he felt kind of guilty about the use of telepathy. He'd remembered Defrosch mentioning his dislike for telepathy before, but it had been the easiest way to contact him...
Still, what Defrosch said was curious. An owlman and snake monsters? It certainly sounded like Defrosch had seen some interesting stuff, but Raisu had never been quite so lucky...
"No, I can't say that I have..." He admitted, looking at the Arcosian with curiosity. "Snake monsters? What do you mean?"
Raisu was just a little confused now. Just what did the Arcosian do in his free time?

Defrosch raised an eyebrow, he could've sworn that a swarm of snake-monsters wouldn't be hard to see. "Nah? Well shit... Alright." He folded his arms. "Well, hm. Its actually really odd, and kinda awkward to explain." He would then explain to the best of his ability, some events that had transpired about a week ago, wherein Fukurou Forest was covered in a strange fog that gave everything within its boundaries a blue tint, strange fireflies would awaken, the entire forest was dead silent- and most importantly- a swarm of blind serpentine creatures that relied on ki sensing abilities.
"Apparently, according to that Zoanthrope, those creatures seek out potent ki signatures to feed on. I scared 'em off though. Got whinged at for being reckless even if I practically solved the problem at hand- it was this whole thing, y'know." Defrosch shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes. "Weird stuff seems to gravitate to me, I guess. So, whats up with you?"

Raisu looked at the Arcosian with with wide eyes. How very strange, indeed. It almost sounded like a fever dream to Raisu. Magical fog and blind serpent creatures. It certainly seemed farfetched. Not that he felt Defrosch was lying. What reason would the Arcosian have to do that? Well, Raisu could not claim to know the Arcosian well, but he'd hope that the lizard-like being had no reason to lie.
"Huh, that's really weird," said Raisu, uncertainty in his voice, "I, uh, hope that works out for you."
Raisu shook his head. Weird. And they looked for big ki signatures too? Why hadn't Raisu seen them? Maybe he was just lucky... Still, that wasn't the point.
"Me? Eh, I'm just hanging out, bored. And I thought I'd drop by and see you."

Sure, if someone told this story to him he'd hardly believe it too, so he could understand Raisu's surprised tone. "Yeah, no, it was freakin' bizarre- but at the same time it was... How to put it... Interesting? Mm, not sure if thats the right word, but its close." Defrosch scoffed, now why would Raisu be bored? Clearly he has his own adventures. "Oho, is that it? Now correct me if I'm wrong- last time you were here you were hiding something. Your power. So unless you're still doing that now you couuuuld be hiding something else." He mused, somewhat mockingly. "Or I could just be full of shit and you really are bored. Bored enough to look for a grumpy fisherman with a snake problem at least."
Defrosch looked over to the pond, he hardly had much more in terms of stories to tell. "Maybe they're like... Mutant eels or something. They looked slimy enough."

Bored? He supposed he was. All Raisu did these days was train and wander. There was no action, or at least any action intense of to distract him for more than a few small chunks of his day at a time. And even then, nothing that really took the edge off of his larger boredom. As bad as it might sound, Raisu really did miss fighting. And the intense kind, too. He missed encounters with worthy foes like Breech or BREU, the kind that put him in the thrill of the moment and made him feel alive. He blamed his Saiyan blood, that sanguine curse that flowed through his veins. Damn it, he thought. Would he ever be free of his own impulses? It was hard to say, but somehow he doubted it. His only choices were to indulge it.
"Yeah, you could say I was bored," Raisu said slowly, meandering with his words, "Training all the time can get pretty boring, you know?"

Defrosch raised an eyebrow. Raisu was being strange, and repeating himself. "Wait, you said you were bored but, then when I asked if it was true, you said you guess you're bored. So what is it? Are you or aren't you? Did your train of thought switch onto some weird line that goes in circles or what? You're being really strange, Raisu... Even though strange is more or less normal around here."
He narrowed his eyes at Raisu, at this point he had caught on that something wasn't being made very clear. "Yeah. I suppose that training can get boring in some respects... Are you intending to make something of it? What exactly is the point of this discussion to you?"

Raisu sighed. Defrosch was right. He was really beating around the bushes now. It'd be best if he just came out and said it. He'd been hoping that Defrosch would initiate it, but it seems that he'd not accounted for the fact that the Arcosian might not be looking for a fight himself. Perhaps this idea was poorly formed... Well, he was already here. He might as well try and make something of it.
"Okay," he said, looking the Arcosian in the eye, "I want to fight. There, I said it. I wanna fight you. If you're anything like the last Arcosian I met, you're stronger than you look. And I need a good opponent."
Raisu finished, and looked at the lizard-man-thing expectantly. Raisu half expected Defrosch to laugh in his face at this point. But it was worth a shot still. Anything to calm this desire to fight in his blood. Even now, he could feel it whipping up. He needed something to take the edge off.

Fortunately for Raisu, the laughter and ridicule did not come. Its not like Defrosch was surprised as to the request, he was more curious as to why the delivery took so long. "Well, that wasn't too hard now was it?" He pondered for a moment, yet at the mention of 'another Arcosian' he groaned. "I'd like to think I'm nothing like them beyond being the same species... Perhaps..." A sly expression came across Defrosch's face. "Perhaps I could make a point with that. I will show you how little we have in common."
He nodded, this sounded like a good plan. "If you insist. It is the reason you tried to find me, after all. I just have one question. Do you want an even match, or a challenge? I wonder, what does your fighting spirit say to that?"

Raisu grinned at the Arcosian. Finally, a real fight. This is what he'd been hoping for as of late. But what did the Arcosian mean by what he said? An even match or a challenge? Raisu had to admit, he was not completely clued in to the secrets of the Arcosian race. But whatever the secrets were, he was just happy that something might come of it. And there was only one thing that the young, redhaired hybrid could say to that.
"Hit me with your best shot."

"Best shot huh? Y'know, I'd rather not snap you in half~" Defrosch wiggled his eyebrows. "But no, for real, challenge it is!" He triumphantly bumped his fists together, and his power began to rise! With this sudden rise in power, his form began to change as well, he grew an intimidating 3 feet in height, from an average 5'6" to an amazing 8'6"! His bio-armor started to lighten up a little, and it grew multiple spikes in various places. Lastly, his face guard would retract as he stretched his neck, and as his rise in power slowed down, he flicked his head and the stubby little nubs on either side shot out to enunciate the change.
"Ahh, yes. It has been quite a while." Even his voice was something else, quite intimidating in comparison to his regular aggressive screeching. "This shall do for now, I hope. The 'challenge' takes a while to 'load' lets say. So..." Defrosch settled into his fighting stance. "Bring. It. On."

Raisu was floored by the sudden increase in power and transformation. There was that hidden Arcosian power again. Just like Polar had displayed, Defrosch had transformed into something more terrible than his old form. And with that new form came new power. Enough power to put him on equal footing with Raisu. Hell, he thought, even stronger, if just by a little bit. Raisu could feel it. And Raisu smirked, dropping into his own fighting stance. This is what he had wanted. He'd definitely asked for this.
"Alright, Defrosch! I hope that wasn't all for show, because I'm not gonna go easy on you!"
And with that, Raisu dashed at the Arcosian, bursting through the air. He'd be quick and brutal with his attacks. Right now, he was going throw an elbow at the Arcosian's face as he got close, hoping to make him feel that one. His blood was already roaring, ready to go. It was like something inside of him came alive when he saw that transformation. This was a fight worthy of that inner primal instinct. And it would be fun as Hell.

"Now Raisu, I see that expression of yours. There's no need to be so impressed so soon..." Defrosch laughed and waggled a finger in a 'disapproving' manner. "Because..." He flashed a wild and excited grin as Raisu dashed forward. "The best is yet to come!"
When Raisu came in and struck hard with his elbow, Defrosch used the momentum from it and angled his head so that the spikes on it would get dangerously close to Raisu's face. At the same time, with hand that he had extended forward with his fighting stance, he would extend his arm out a bit further, aiming the palm of it at Raisu's back as he charged and shot off a sudden ki blast! Provided this sneaky counter was a success, Defrosch would then attempt to Raisu right in the gut.

Raisu had paid for his eagerness and his almost reckless attack. There was no time to dodge such a close proximity ki blast, at least not without making use of an afterimage. And even then, he hadn't been expecting it. The ki blast exploded into him, and a burning sensation of pain shot through his body. Damn, he thought, if this wasn't his best, what was? And that wasn't it. The Arcosian followed up with a quick blow to the gut. Raisu coughed as Defrosch's strike burrowed into his stomach. Now that hurt.
Raisu stumbled back from the Arcosian, grunting. But through the pain, he coughed and looked right at Defrosch with a fiery look in his eyes.
"Not bad. But you better not be bluffing, because you'll need to do better than that!"
And with that, Raisu burst into the air, and sent a basic ki blast careening at the Arcosian. Even if it missed, he'd continue his ascent into the air. Things were getting good!
