This fight was in many ways freeing for Walker. A battle where he could go all out, where the fate of the world was not on the line. Merely a fight, and against Rei no less. When he had first left the laboratory of Project Stem, he had little to no idea of the outside world. He had briefly encountered other fighters, but they were weaker or around his level. He had assumed he was at the pinnacle, one of the strongest there was. Then, he had found the Lookout, and everything had changed. Not only because he had met Scargot, the Kami, and gained a wider understanding of the world and his ideals. No, it had changed because he had seen, for the first time, what true power really was. Reikiko, the Bio-Android... it was odd that his friend was also the goal he sought, eternally out of reach. Even now, he was aware his own actions would put her further beyond him once more, but honestly? He didn't care. To be able to match her, even somewhat, to know that his training hadn't been for nothing... it was gratifying. As Reikiko commented on how he had cracked her carapace, he nodded, pleased to hear it. Conversely, when her toned darkened, and the sentence was completed, a strange thing happened. He wasn't afraid of death, in fact he welcomed it at the moment as a new challenge to overcome. Pain was just a sensation, and when you could regrow any body part with enough time, dismemberment was not really a concern. Ultimately, as long as he let his determination waver, he was certain he could survive anything, eventually. So when Rei mentioned him breaking, it was quite bizarre. There was no logical explanation for the cold shiver of fear that ran up where a spine would be on any other biological. Chuckling, intrigued by the sensation, Walker craned his neck to one side. "Well, I do what I can. Hopefully one day, I'll be able to do more."
As his head snapped back into position, eyes narrowing and body moving into a new stance, his gaze flicked to the side. Etoru was yelling something, the young Saiyan trying to get past Hikari to little avail. It was plain that the female Saiyan was stronger than Etoru by a fair bit, and while she might not have fully supported this fight, she was respecting his wish. The tree had to wonder if it counted as a dying wish when you intended to do it more than once. Backing up slightly, he began to gather his Ki around his extremities, as his telepathy broadcast a message to Etoru, Hikari and Rei included in the call. "Etoru, calm down. Bing has taught you well, but you seem to still believe death is a permanent thing, something that can never be overcome. The Dragon Balls just recently proved that was wrong, did they not? So dry your tears, my friend." His eyes began to blaze, energy gathering. "I do not intend to be gone forever. Rather, I go now to face the final remnant of my creation, the demon that started the chain of events leading to my birth. If I don't face him, I risk the same path as Vi-Poi's Realigner Red." It was not the only reason, but he needed to remember he was appealing to a young child. Simplistic arguments would be far easier, and besides, he had but a moment. Telepathy was, in this case, far faster than speech. He could send the message instantly, and let the brain process it in order. "I would rather fall for what I know is some useful purpose, ascertain that my will is my own, and risk remaining in the otherworld..." He brought his hands up, preparing for some unusual strike. "Than die at the hands of Earth's Defenders, the pawn of someone else. Rei is aiding me in that, and so I am aiding her in turn. Besides, if you can reach the level to fight Zuccetta, you can certainly defeat Rei if necessary." Mentally sending a semi-skeptical, semi-apologetic feeling to Rei as he said this, the tree slammed his fists together. "But enough talk. Rei, take this. MYSTIC!" He charged forward, aura glowing brilliantly, power fully charged. "RENDING!" His hands reared back, and he prepared to strike, rocketing closer to her with every word. "JUUUUUSsst kidding." At nearly point blank range, his maw opened, an inferno within revealed as his voice took on an evilly amused air. The beam blasted out, fracturing into a near-inescapable mass of branches, as what appeared to be a massive tree of light grew from his mouth, accompanied by a harsh roar. "BUZZZSAAW YGGDRASIL!" The branches zig-zagged through the air, filling the area around Rei with cutting branches of energy as he poured his power into the attack. Nearly drained, as the light faded, Walker's mouth snapped shut and he moved backwards, already preparing for the inevitable counter. He wasn't nearly so foolish as to believe that had managed anything beyond a blow to the other Bio-Android, although he hoped it had been a strong one. That technique had been unused for a long time now, last used when he dueled Kaula. It had been the first technique he learned, evolving from the simple Maw Razor to the massive tree of energy it was now, the Yggdrasil. Using it now, he was doing more than just putting his all into this. It was a memento of his brief past, and a grasp at the future he intended to forge with every step down the trail he had committed to. It was his cry against the darkness, no matter how futile it might be, and he intended to end this fight blazing like a star. Bing, Kaula, Scargot, Rei... those he had met since, like Chili, Celmaru, Cipher and Etoru. It was for them and for himself that he intended to push himself to the utmost, both love of battle and desire for peace weaving together inside his soul. Laughing uproariously, he slammed his limbs into a zenkutsu stance, hands held out in readiness. "Come on, Rei. I intend to make the trip to the afterlife smiling."
KP: 0/3 Walker used Buzzsaw Yggdrasil! PL: 1,787,929 aimed at Rei! Walker had an introspective moment!

It seemed that there was no way of talking down Etoru, perhaps to be expected. Still, the sudden rush of the boy had caught her slightly off-guard, and instead of delivering a proper counter all Hikari was able to do was raise one of her arms upwards to lessen the damage of the kick. Even with her arm softening the blow the sheer strength in the boy's attack had surprised her, forcing her to stagger backwards, voicing her disbelief aloud.
"Such strength, they really are feeding their children some weird stuff if they can already become Supah Saiyajin."
However, Hikari's expression darkened for a moment, and within the back of her mind the hybrid understood that the reason that attack was so powerful wasn't simply because of Etoru being a Super Saiyan. Her own body had still not regained its true power, that power that she had ascended to when she tried to protect Reikiko during the battle for Avalon. No, at this rate she was likely close to the boy's equal in strength, what meant that the only thing she could do was stall for time till Reikiko and Walker finished their battle.
"If she was to become an enemy someday, then people like me and Administrator Azure would surely team up together to stop her. But until that day I will help her in any way I can!"
Declaring her intentions with a determined look in her eyes Hikari decided to finally retaliate at Etoru. It was a rather quick rush, but it was a decoy nonetheless. Having moved at the top of her speed she raised a fist, seemingly intending to strike the boy's face, but a moment before the attack would have landed she seemed to shimmer out of view, and the true Hikari reappeared right beside Etoru, a spinning kick being made toward the back of Etoru's head. What would Etoru end up doing? Cheap tricks wouldn't help him this time, and if he was to take the chance to rush toward Walker, he would surely have to deal with a blow to the back from Hikari.
In the meanwhile it appeared Reikiko had gotten herself in a messy situation. Walker's energy had seemingly reached its peak, the aura expanding outwards while he declared a familiar name. Mystic Rend, was he going to use those claw-like projectiles again? No, that grin as he revealed he had been fooling her had been enough to tell her otherwise, and mentally she cursed her arrogance, her body propelling backwards in an attempt to regain some distance, not that it had much use. The attack that Walker had unleashed was unlike anything she has seen before, a large tree-like structure being forged out of energy itself, but the heat that radiated from the branches that started to pursue her made Reikiko adamant about avoiding any attempt to getting to know them better.
For the first few moments this seemed to work, her small and agile body zigzagging through the branches, and although she could feel the warmth brushing against her wings, she felt the attack steadily catch up with her.
"Che~ Persistent..."
She had just made a backwards flip in the air to avoid the collection of branches that had started to gather at her location from various directions, her body ascending upwards while she tried to regain her freedom by escaping into the air, it seemed the branches weren't about to let her go that easily. Several of the branches had soared upwards, some of them flying past her, others seemingly attempting to get closer to the bio-android. The latter ones were clearly getting near her, sometimes her dodging attempts had only barely succeeded as a branch brushed past her, and at long last she lost her patience.
A surge of energy escaped from her body as she finally came to a halt a small distance above the chasing branches, raising a hand upwards into the air, her eyes narrowed into a glare while she shouted with a clear hint of anger in her tone.
"Your obnoxiousness knows no boundaries!"
A surge of energy was expelled from Reikiko's body, a hint that she was clearly preparing some destructive attack, and judging from the words that followed it was clearly the case she was preparing something big.
I summon the light of destruction upon my enemies...
The moment the words escaped her lips Reikiko's outstretched hand became wrapped in a thick layer of her ki, seemingly being leeched upwards into a small sphere of a violent pulsing energy. The branches that had surpassed her in height earlier had considered a perfect opportunity for an ambush, descending toward her from above when suddenly something happened.
Stars, gather, and become the light which pierces everything.
The sphere suddenly expanded in size, perhaps even surpassing Walker's height for a moment, and the branches that had tried to reach Reikiko from above started to dissolve, literally burnt away by the sphere above Reikiko. It had been a while since she used that technique of her, that one she had such a fondness of because it was themed after a certain magical girl series she loved to watch on TV at the lookout...
Tear through everything in a blaze of light.
The energy sphere was tossed downwards, straight toward the core of Walker's attack, the branches that had grown from it steadily burning away while the Starlight Breaker advanced deeper and deeper into the sea of branches. To others it would have likely looked like quite a spectacle as the glowing ball of purple energy descended into the sea, until it finally reached the core.
"STARLIGHT BREAKER!"
It was a sudden shout, but judging from the fact that Reikiko had curled up into a small ball, as if using her carapace as a shield, would have made it clear that whatever was going to happen, wasn't healthy. And indeed it wasn't! The ki sphere suddenly pulsed violently, when its true nature was revealed: A ki grenade. The giant projectile burst outwards, consuming the entire tree in its wake, and even from the attempt to get some distance between himself and the attack he had created, Walker would likely still feel some of the explosion's effect. Even Reikiko had been rocketed away by the sheer pressure of the blast, rolling to a halt in the air several meters away.
"Man, that was worse than being chased by a bunch of stalkers with unhealthy fetishes..."
Grumbling in annoyance Reikiko panted lightly, briefly trying to catch her breathing while looking onward to see the result of her attack.
---- Reikiko: Current KP: 0/3 Played cat and mouse with Walker's giant tree and stalker branches, tried to escape into the air but failed and decided to nuke things

Etoru soared towards her. His shin collided with her forearm. A huge sound wave of force emitted. It sent both warriors golden locks of hair flying backwards and let out a roaring boom. The force of the attack caused the air to ripple a bit as well which was quite impressive. Etoru slid back glaring. He heard Walker reply to him and looked up. Etoru looked up at Walker frustrated. Even during all this, the fool was still calm! Sure the dragonballs brought people back, but it had to be hard right? Otherwise anyone would do it. Mr.Aspa didn't come back yet. Etoru didn't believe it. Coming back from the dead. PFFT. He may be young and naive, but he's not that naive! He frowned. "I don't care! But this whole thing is stupid so just stop! There are other ways to do this without you giving your life away!" Etoru clenched his fists and cringed. How could Walker ever do such a thing?
Etoru widened his eyes at what he said next. His surprised expression slowly turned into a scowl. "Pawns...Earth Defenders using you as a pawn..." Etoru clenched his fists tightly. "Was Mr.Pieter a pawn?! Huh?! Warriors losing their life that day! Were they all pawns too?!?!" Etoru shook his head fast. "What's gotten into you Walker?! This isn't the right choice! In fact, it's the cowards way out! Letting someone else handle your problems! AND if it truly is the right choice and the only way, WAIT TILL ZUCCETA GETS HERE AND THEN USE IT!" Etoru frowned. He didn't think there was any way getting to Walker, and he certainly didn't trust this Reikiko person. Etoru looked at him frustrated. "Well what if she doesn't stop after you? What if she absorbs someone again?! THEN WHAT?! She'll be too powerful for anyone to stop! AND YOU KNOW THAT! WALKER SHE'S JUST USING YOU! C-CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?!"
As soon as he called out those words, Hikari began yelling at him. Etoru scoffed. "And what if she gets so powerful, she absorbs Vi-Poi?! Then what?!" Etoru began to grind his teeth completely outraged by the situation. There might not be any chance in talking sense into Walker so he can get the heck out of here and NOT be absorbed, and if he didn't, Hikari was blocking his path. There'd be no way to help.
Suddenly, Hikari rushed towards him. Etoru got into a defensive stance. "A straight forward attack? Ha! Too easy..." The child thought. Etoru kicked off to punch her face, but was lost in deep thought when she vanished. He was too busy comprehending what just happened when he was kicked from the back of his head. Etoru's eyes widened in shock as he let out a loud yelp of pain. The child was sent skidding onto the island grassy(Or rocky) terrain. He lied there frowning, not bothering to get up. "...So...yet again, I'm going to fail at protecting my friends....w-what kind of hero am I..." He said to himself. Etoru slowly began crawling up to his feet, shoulders shaking and head down. By the looks of it, he was crying. But soon enough, he picked his head up slowly to reveal he was laughing.
He grinned at Hikari. "If you think I'm going to lose that easily, you're wrong! Do you know why?" Etoru put his thumb against his chest. "I am Etoru Aeum! Son of Caesi Aeum! Student of the Serpent Master and Kami, Bing Gan! I am the Legacy of the Serpent School!" Releasing his thumb off his chest, he pointed at her smirking. "If you think I'm going down that easily! THINK AGAIN!" Etoru's golden aura flared. "MULTI-FORM TECHNIQUE!" Soon, a clone of Etoru poofed beside him. The clone grinned. "Ready?!?! LET'S GO!" Etoru and Etoru 2 began running to Hikari. They both jumped in the air charging up Ki blasts before throwing down two massive ones in front of her. The explosion caused smoke to appear to block her visual sights. Etoru nodded to his clone while Etoru 2 nodded back. Etoru 2 jumped back a good distance and started charging up.
Etoru however, began firing a bunch of ki blasts in the smoke cloud aiming to hit her. He sensed her energy so he knew where he had to hit. Should she fly out the smoke cloud, he'd charge at her. Etoru would then send a barrage of kicks and punches towards her. Although, he was only at half strength and might have been at a disadvantage, which was okay for now. Beating her wasn't his goal at the moment. He'd try to finish up his barrage with a tough punch to the cheek to send her flying.
Meanwhile, Etoru 2 watched the battle nervously. His aura flared as he charged up his attack. Right now, he had to trust the original Etoru to hold her off for long enough. What BOTH Etoru's really hoped was that she didn't catch on right away. They needed as much time as possible.

As he moved backwards, he was expecting Rei to dodge, giving him time to regroup. He should have known better. As she zipped about, fast enough that his eyes had trouble tracking her, she began to charge energy. The chant was ominous, and Walker's eyes widened, trying to anticipate whatever was coming. It didn't matter, though. The final line completing, he could feel the terrifying power of Rei's attack rise to it's full potential. Throwing his hands out, he attempted to block, to hold it off somewhat, but the burning starlight had no such mercy. The attack burned forth, crashing through his tree of light like a meteor. Branches snapped and dissolved, and the trunk was split into uncountable fragments, fading in the wind as Walker set his jaw, eyes closing in preparation for what was to come. As the glowing light impacted, he could feel his body disintegrating a bit. His robes frayed, and parts of his face began to burn as the hellish light washed over him, destroying what it touched. The fingers of his hands cracked, and one eye-socket was widened considerably, boiling hot sap pouring down it like tears. It was painful, but not debilitating. Falling back, he exhaled, and stared at Rei. "Heh... should have expected that. Had hoped the deception would throw you off sufficiently, but it seems I was mistaken. You're as untouchable as always." It pained him more than the actual attack had to admit that, but it was clear where the advantage lay. Still, it was true that he had forced her to draw out all her current power for this fight. After the battle she was going through, evolving was only fair. Besides, he and Cernunnos had Business to settle. He hadn't heard from the Demon since the incident in his training room, when he had fought the legions of shades the creature conjured. It might be unwise going to hell to find him, but Walker had no intention of simply letting him skulk away. He was the one lead to the sources of the tree's magic and power, and if he could get his differing parts to work in harmony, then he might truly be able to fight on the level everyone else had reached. Bringing his fists together, he exhaled, staring at Rei. "Well then, I will keep attempting to defeat you. Whenever you are ready to end it, simply do your best to do so. I will, of course, not make it easy, but then I doubt you would want that." A feral grin crossed his face. "Even as a 'vegetarian', I understand the thrill of the fight all too well." He could hear Etoru yelling in the background, and almost ignored him, but he couldn't help but facepalm at the response to his pawn comment. Clearly the young Saiyan had managed to misunderstand that nearly as much as possible. He attempted to muster the will to correct him, but... it was just not worth it. Glancing at Rei, he raised one hand helplessly and then let it fall. The logic the child was using had warped far beyond a point he thought himself capable of fixing. Etoru still seemed stuck on the point of "Walker staying in the afterlife forever.", for some reason. It... wasn't exactly clear why. Perhaps he hadn't been paying attention when the Dragon was summoned? Deeply confused, especially since he was forgetting that Etoru, powerful or not, was still 6, Walker turned back. There was no point wasting any more time on this, especially since Etoru seemed to be pushing harder and harder to try and break past. Hikari was successfully keeping him at bay, however, but that might not last much longer. Cracking his knuckles, Walker brought himself back into a fighting stance. "Well then... Usque ad Mortem." Until Death. Launching forward, his four arms began to move even before he reached her, fists batting the air and causing intense winds about his body. It was nothing to the SSJ level fighters, but it made his limbs hard to see. Attacking the other Bio-Android, he felt his Ki buoying. Not enough to actually do anything yet, but it was raised his spirits. Limbs jabbing out, he circled around and around, flames nearly gone as the extraneous effects of his transformation were reduced, his power all focused in his fists, elbows, feet and knees. It was hard to keep going with bits of his arms burned away, and every use of the newer limb on his right side sent a twinge through him, working a crack bigger, but he couldn't afford to pause enough to focus his regeneration just yet. As his body forced itself on, only one thought went through his mind. "Don't stop fighting. Don't stop fighting. Don't stop... don't stop..." Eyes blazing with purple light, he roared in defiance, the echoing howl bouncing across the landscape as the clouds spun around the two fighters, the other pair down below locked in their own dance.

Unfortunately for Reikiko, the attack she had unleashed a few moments ago had taken its toll upon her. Certainly, it didn't have the same devastating effect as her forbidden technique, but an attack of that magnitude demanded a lot of her energy. It seemed this was the same for Walker, who didn't only have to struggle with the fact he had been injured by her attack, but his own had also drained him of his energy. She could feel it, how his energy was slowly recharging, and if there was one thing that it made clear to Reikiko, then it was that the physical assault that Walker had initiated had been an attempt to buy some time. She had to finish him off, at the very least before he could regain enough of his strength to carry out whatever scheme he had been up to. Nevertheless, for Reikiko it wasn't as simple as it sounded, for she had been a bit exhausted herself, and with her opponent being larger, meaning he had more significant reach... the only thing she had going for her was her superior speed right now. Still, simply dodging attack after attack wouldn't help her obtain the victory she desired. No, she was going to need to figure out a way to exploit the current state of the bio-android, tear through a weakness, if there was any.
When the first barrage arrived there was little she could do aside from dodging. The attacks were still swift, glancing blows being made left and right as her body struggled to preserve its energy, but it was at that point that things changed. The second barrage had forced Reikiko onto an entire defensive maneuver, using her arms and legs to deflect most of the attacks with the tough protective carapace that covered most of her body. Still, this had allowed Walker to inflict some more damage, small dents and bruises appearing on some of the spots he had hit, but this exchange had been a give and tank, for Reikiko had noticed something.
One of his attacks is growing significantly slower... an injured limb?
If that was the case, then she had just found the momentary weakness that she needed to exploit. When the third barrage happened, it clearly would have been the last, for while each blow against her body hit its target, the moment his newer limb was moving with the intent to strike, the eyes of the child narrowed into a determined glare. Her tail swished forwards, but with the intention to devour... no, instead it tried to coil around Walker's injured arm, and Reikiko finally got into the offensive.
For Walker this would have likely been the moment Reikiko's earlier jest was proved to be far from a joke, for the feeling would have become akin to a torture. Abandoning any sense of defense, the girl lunged forwards, raining fist after fist in a flurry toward Walker's body, the tail that tried to constrict his arm seemingly tightening as she prepared for her plan. She raised both her arms into the air, seemingly preparing to deliver a heavy sledgehammer-like strike onto Walker, not only to force him into a recoil, but at the same time rip off his arm!
Although Reikiko was visibly exhausted, she couldn't help but smirk at the clear damage her actions should have caused, and with a clear hint of confidence in her tone she declared.
"Let's settle this Walker... Your next move shall likely be your last!"
In the end Reikiko knew all too well that Hikari was having difficulties dealing with the child, who despite his age already had obtained the power of the Super Saiyan. Although, Hikari couldn't help but smile faintly, as if she had seen a fatal flaw in Etoru's plan when he decided to use the popular technique known as Multi-Form. It was true, that the technique had some powerful advantages, but it also had quite a few flaws, one of them being something that could likely give Hikari more time to deal with the boy!
The barrage of ki blasts had significantly lowered in strength, likely because Etoru had forgotten the fact that Multi-Form had a rather unpleasant effect on the user. Indeed, the smoke had obstructed her visage, but she could easily sense the charging energy from outside, what made it easy enough for her to predict that one of the boys would try to delay her, and the other would attempt to gain enough energy to blast her down in one go.
"Such an elementary strategy... As expected of a child."
Whispering in amusement Hikari rushed out of the smoke, seemingly heading in a bee-like toward the Etoru who was trying to delay her, in the end perhaps she could act as if she was going along with his scheme. The kicks and punches clearly lacked the strength they needed to best her, rather due to his divided strength the boy would surely find himself forced to deal with some pain as Hikari's own fists returned the favor in a brief flurry of blows, before she smirked mischievously.
"TOO SLOW!"
A sudden shout was accompanied by Hikari shifting her body after a backwards leap, and this was where Etoru's weakness revealed itself. The boy had not only lost half his strength, but also half his speed, and Hikari was planning to abuse that to its fullest! The hybrid rushed toward the second Etoru, knowing that the kid was charging up some nasty power, but she didn't plan to allow him to carry out his strategy! Her charge accompanied by a raised fist, Hikari's motion suddenly changed when she raised both hands toward her forehead and shouted
"SOLAR FLARE!"
It was likely something Etoru had not predicted, but it was a simple decision to counter his strategy, and with the second Etoru stunned for a round... things could get nasty...
---- Reikiko: KP 1/3 (regained 1KP from no tech use) Reikiko took the physical assault like a boss, but in return tried to rip off Walker's arm!
Hikari: KP 2/3 Used [N1] Solar Flare against Etoru 2 (2,400,000) Well within the range to stun and disrupt Etoru's charge if she succeeds.

Etoru squinted at the smoke cloud. It looks like his strategy was working!!! Etoru 2 grinned as he held her off. What could go wrong? Suddenly, Hikari's form shot right out of the smoke. Then Etoru went to action! He soared towards her at an incredible speed, however, despite how fast he was, she was A LOT faster. "TAKE THIS!" Etoru threw a barrage of punches and kicks. Each one seeming to be simply pushed aside and blocked. Etoru growled and continued swinging wildly. Before he knew it, he felt a fist collide against his chin. Etoru stumbled back and almost immediately before he even had a chance to react, another fist hit his gut. Etoru coughed before a barrage of them started swarming in. Etoru coughed and weezed and desperately tried finding a way to counter it. Unfortunately for him, that wasn't exactly within his abilities at the moment.
Before he knew it, all he heard was Hikari yelling 'TOO SLOW' which made him blink confused. She stopped the barrage of punches and kicks and bolted past him. "HEY WAIT!" Etoru chased after her. He saw the second Etoru and his jaw dropped. "NO....NONONONONO! IT WAS GOING SO PERFECTLLLLYYYY!" The second Etoru's eyes widened. Etoru 2 glared at Etoru. "ETORU! YOU BIG IDIOT! LOOK WHAT HAPPENED! UGH JUST STOP HER! MY ATTACK ISN'T READ--GAHH! MY EYEEEEESSSSSSSSS" Etoru frowned. He saw the attack coming, but he wasn't fast enough to stop it. And with Etoru 2 stunned like that, there was no way to retract him to gain power. Meanwhile, he knew Walker was in some huge trouble and had to devise a plan. That's when it hit him.
Etoru smirked. The plan he thought of was perfect. "AND THAT'S WHERE YOU MESSED UP!!! MY TURN!" Etoru then imitated her movement. He put his hands on his temples and snapped his eyes shut. "SOLAR FLARE!" A blinding light emitted. Should it blind Hikari temporarily, Etoru would grin. "Ha ha! See ya SUUUUCKER!!!!" And with that said, Etoru bolted towards the battle with Reikiko and Walker. Letting out a roar, it looked as if he were going for Reikiko, but in almost an instant, he soared by Rekiko and attempted to kick Walker in the face sending him back. Should he succeed, he'd glare knowing he had no time to talk before Hikari flew back again. "You big dummy! We can deal with this in like hundred different ways! If you want to get absorbed so badly then do it WHEN Zucceta comes!" Etoru pointed at him. Despite caring for him, he couldn't help but speak HIS mind. "The way I see it Mr.Walker, your actions is the cowards way out!" With that said, he turned his head, his back facing her. "And your acts are even more coward...ish. You depend on absorbing people to gain your strength! If Master Bing saw you, he'd punch your face in! AND YOU! Wouldn't be able to do a thing about it!" Etoru then stuck his tongue out and put his finger under his eye pulling it down a bit. "Naaaa!" ---
OOC: I didn't really know when Etoru would kick Walker should he manage to get by Hikari, whether it was before or after Rei's tail you guys decide. Pretty sure it should of been AFTER the tail incident. If that hit too of course lol.
Etoru: KP:0/3

Eyes widening, Walker felt the tail wrap around his limb. It looked like the other Bio-Android had spotted the injury, and was planning to abuse the hell out of it. As his flurry was interrupted, he winced. This was going to be rough. He was entirely correct, as Rei declared a time limit was now in place, and proceeded to send a blisteringly fast series of blows all across his body. His form cracked in numerous places as he choked on the air, feeling his body shatter. It was quite painful, and when Rei slammed a hammer-blow into his torso, he nearly missed the sudden numbness in his hand and upper arm. Oh. He didn't have one of those anymore. Huh.... As the pain set in, he felt his additional limbs shatter, concentration broken. Down to one limb now, huh? Well then, it must be getting serious. Exhaling, wincing as he felt his chest shake and pieces fall off, Walker gave Rei a grin. One eye was shut, and beads of sap-like sweat were running down his face. "Heh... Not bad. I was hoping you wouldn't notice that one. Oh well, it was a bit foolish to think that, I suppose?" Bringing his remaining limb up diagonally across his body, he stared towards her, eye tracking her movements as best he could. It seemed as though the battle was drawing to a close, and he did not want to go out the fool. When he died, it would be fighting to the last, even when he was accepting his death. Still, this was a test, something he was sure Rei knew. If she couldn't beat him, she didn't deserve to take his power. As Bio-Androids, even an odd one like himself, it was a well known law that drove them. Survival of the Fittest. Some people might have objected to Rei's method of gaining power. Even though he was a Bio-Android, Walker hadn't chosen to take the same path, forging his own path forward. He didn't object to Rei doing differently, though. Any strategy to win, any tactic to come out on top. If an opponent was truly worthy, then you needed to pull out every trick and skill to defeat them. He was glad, then, that Rei was not holding back or using some bizarre sense of mercy to try and spare him. She might not be going absolute full power, but she was fighting seriously and with no archaic limitations. His body shook slightly as he awaited the next assault. As soon as Rei got close, he intended to aim for a hook punch that would spin into a kick to the side. During the brief moment before the fight resumed, the tree tried to plan out as many tactics as he could, unsure of what would come next. It seemed doubtful Rei would be boasting, not at this eleventh hour. Whatever happened next... it would likely be the final attack. One last blow, and he would have to make it count. As he prepared his fist, suddenly he saw from his peripheral vision another flash of light. Turning, he saw Etoru charging towards them. It looked like he was heading for Rei, but given his recent focus... Walker cut the Ki supporting him for a second, dropping like a log. He guessed correctly, too, as Etoru sailed just over his head a split-second later, yelling at him about... something about cowardice and such. Now, anger began to swell in Walker's chest. "Etoru.... What part of "DO NOT INTERFERE did you not understand?" His voice rose as his anger grew hotter. "I am fighting Rei to determine which of us is stronger! If it is her, she can use the boost, and I will undergo harsher training in the afterlife before returning! If not, then no harm is done, and I have overcome a greater challenge." Smashing his remaining arm to the side, it thrummed with power as his eyes blazed. "DO NOT MAKE LIGHT OF THINGS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND! Bing understood that some things are worth the risk. That is why he went to Kanassa! He knew he may well die there! Until you have something worth putting everything on the line for, using every strategem..." His eyes flared, and he brought his hand back, mustering up what little Ki he had. "DO NOT SPEAK TO ME OF 'EASY WAYS OUT!' " His hand shot forward, a burst of light spitting forth in a wide dome. "CANOPY WAVE BURST!" The crimson dome washed towards Etoru as Walker fell back, panting. During this moment, the battle had shifted somewhat. Etoru had also made a rather crucial mistake in splitting his power like that, with the other clone stunned. If it was destroyed, his own abilities were lessened significantly. He doubted Rei was any happier than he was about the child's stubborn interruptions and ill-founded reasoning, but doubted she would really kill him. It was possible she might absorb him, but he didn't think it was easy to metabolize two fighters in such quick succession. Oh well, this was the risk you took. He really wished he could get through to the child, though. He was not running away, not ceasing. What Etoru did not grasp was that this was his path to grow even stronger, to overcome the shackles of his past and even the supposedly intense atmosphere of the otherworld. He had met someone just returned from that place, and it took a great will to regain your mortal form there. If he wasn't capable of that, then he would MAKE himself capable. Of course, if Rei was to lose, then this would be moot, and he would continue his normal training. One way or another, he would keep getting stronger. Etoru's interference was irritatingly throwing that off track, and the tree was quite unhappy about how obstinately dense the 6 year old was being. It must once more be stated, Walker had never dealt with a small child before.

Hikari clearly hadn't expected Etoru to possess one of the Crane school techniques, causing the hybrid to turn at the shout, a fatal mistake as she was clearly too slow to prevent the distraction technique from blinding her. It was a exploit she had not expected for the lad to use the technique that only a few were supposed to possess. Nevertheless, while she struggled to regain her sight, it seemed Etoru had a plan of his own. The boy rushed straight toward the battling bio-androids, and only moments before Reikiko was able to proceed with her strategy Walker had been hit.
Reikiko's eyes narrowed into a malicious glare at Etoru, clearly upset by his continuous interference. She had thought about letting the boy simply go, but there was clearly no room for mercy anymore. In a surprising change of events Walker launched an attack at his would-be savior, and for Reikiko this was the opportunity she had sough for all along. her body shifted backwards, a nimble sideways sprint being made when the Bio-android lunged toward Walker's back. If she succeeded in her attempt it would likely been obvious for Walker to realize what happened. Not only had he been severely weakened, but she felt that most of his energy had been used to lash out at Etoru. Her tail's stinger would have cleanly pierced his back, akin to a dagger, and a moment later the venomous substance was injected into Walker's body.
"Do not think too badly of me for exploiting that opening Walker. Against a worthwhile foe there is no trick or underhanded blow too foul to place the enemy into a checkmate."
She smiled softly, a surprisingly kind smile while she raised her hands, seemingly clinging lightly to the taller one while she whispered under her breath.
"Although I can't make any promises for the survival of that pesky midget, I'll hope he at least has enough common sense to flee while he can..."
As she whispered those words she could feel the venom starting to spread, and it would be just a little bit longer until she could proceed with the absorbing of Walker's power. It took a surprisingly large amount of venom, likely due to his body and natural resistances, but she could feel that his body was almost ready to be devoured.
"Any last words my friend?"
She hummed the last bit in amusement, seemingly starting to activate her power, an excruciating pain likely overwhelming Walker, so she wasn't sure if he would many any sounds aside from pained cries, then again he was a bio-android... So perhaps he would be able to handle it just long enough.

As Etoru's kick went to Walker, he seemed too have ducked incredibly fast. Etoru wooshed over him and skidded against the ground before speaking his mind. After he was done throwing his rant, Walker seemed infuriated. That's putting it lightly. "...well, i HAD to interfere. You were going to die! I couldn't let you just throw your life away like---" Walker seemed to cut Etoru off getting all angry with the boy. Etoru flinched as Walker started yelling at him all out. Clenching his fists, the child couldn't take it. He was going to throw his life away...because he was testing his strength...?! Etoru glared at him. "...Shut up. This isn't a test to see who's stronger you BIG OAF! SHE'S USING YOU! UGH! CAN'T YOU SEE YOU'RE OUTMATCHED! FACE IT, SHE DEFEATED VI-POI!" He shook his head fast, still lost in disbelief. "CAN'T YOU FEEL HER S-SCARY ENERGY?! IT'S NOT A NICE ONE EITHER!" Etoru was right though. Her aura had a very malicious feel to it. A killing intent!
Suddenly, he went on about taking risks. He even said that Bing went to Kanassa because he was willing to take that risk. Etoru grit his teeth tightly. "...shut! UP! DON'T TALK ABOUT BING LIKE THAT! HE ISN'T TAKING ANY RISKS! BECAUSE HE ISN'T GOING TOO DIE! HE'S COMING BACK!" Etoru snarled, his golden aura flaring. "And if Bing was here, he'd think this whole thing was stupid! Because killing someone in order to gain power is just wrong!" Etoru knew that wasn't an insult of course. It was just that he strongly believed Bing would come back. Suddenly, Walker yelled out the name of an attack. He wasn't going to...hit him was he? Suddenly, a crimson red light bursted out at light speed soaring towards Etoru. Etoru's eyes widened. He put his arms out in an 'x' position to block it. The wave burned around him, engulfing him. Etoru grit his teeth whining a bit as he was slowly being pushed back. He struggled to stand his ground, his feet making a trail in the dirt as he slid. Soon enough, he fell back a few feet from the force. It wasn't serious injuries, but it still hurt him nonetheless. Etoru had a few scrapes and bruises and his serpent uniform was slightly torn in a few spots.
Etoru lied on his back groaning. "...H-how could Walker do that...." Struggling to pick his head up, he looked at his tiny forearms frowning. They were burnt and scraped a bit. Sitting upright, he looked back at Walker and Reikiko. Should Reikiko's attack succeed, Etoru would gasp and stare wide eyed. "N-NO! PLEASE! STOP!!!!" Despite the power of that last attack being so relatively low, even at his current stature, he was still recovering. He wasn't able to stop her in time.

As the wave burst over Etoru, much akin to water over the rocks in fact, Walker suddenly sensed a burst of power behind him. He had expected as much, and turned to try and dodge. It was not NEARLY fast enough. As Rei floated behind him, the feeling of something impaling him came from his back, and he winced. One arm, no energy remaining, and currently struck through the chest... it looked like this was decided. Slumping, he felt his insides flood with venom, and acknowledged what was occurring. It seemed he still had a ways to go, but he had held up longer than he had expected. As Rei spoke to him, he listened, rather interested by the words. So, she believed as he did, it seemed. It was a sentiment Etoru apparently didn't share. Oh well, such was the differing ideals. He would have to learn to accept it, as there was little in the way. As he hung in the air, he lifted his hand, giving a final wave. "Well then, I will be back. I'm afraid I'm not sure when, but I shall be back. Etoru, keep training, and Rei... I look forward to attempting to catch up to you, even if I'm a ways behind now." He laughed, voice catching a bit at the pain. His internal structures were solid, more or less, and so it was taking quite a bit of Rei's venom to mush him up. "And Rei, do not worry. I agree completely, after all. If a foe is truly worthy of your full strength, some ridiculous definition of "Honor" during the fight is an insult. You should use everything you have, mind, body and soul to defeat them." As for Etoru, though... As his body began to collapse, limbs first, he stared directly at the young half-saiyan. "Etoru. Do not think to blame Rei for this. I offered. However, I doubt she will be particularly forgiving at the moment, especially after ascending. I will see you again soon." Cracks ran up his form, and Ki began to leak out of him, absorbed into Reikiko. He had to laugh a bit as he felt the darkness at the edge of his vision, the sound coming out as a choking chuckle. "Well then, I guess this is it.... last words..." He could give some dramatic speech, or try and tell Etoru something. He could also send a message, now that he thought about it. If he knew if Bing was alive or not, he would send a telepathic message to him. Ah well, he could try in the Afterlife, and if there was no connection, the guardian of earth had survived. If not, he would be able to talk to him again. It was odd to be optimistic about this, but Walker wasn't most people. Well, if he had one thing left.... He closed his eyes, as glowing cracks ran up his face. "I was made, but must be made anew to reach my dreams. Thus I fall, for after all..." Words came to mind, very fitting to the situation. He was intending to destroy himself, to rebuild his power from the ground up, and come out the other side of hell itself as a greater fighter, hopefully. He had seen the quote in an old, old book in the Lookout, supposedly written by a Kami of long ago. It was appropriate, and so he let his eyes open one last time, vision dim. "Before all creation..." As his body began to shatter inwards, he called out in a telepathic broadcast, his words directed towards Etoru, Rei, Celmaru, Bing, Kaula... all of those he knew. "Before all creation must come DESTRUCTION!" Slumping fully forward, what remained of his body was available for Rei to consume, the power flowing freely to the Chimera-made Bio-Android. Not far away, Bastion watched, feeling the energy of his creator dim. He nodded slowly, and turned, walking back into the Cathedral. He stood in the middle of the control room, and placed his hands upon the complex series of mystical controls for the great island ship. It began to move away at a rapid pace, as the first of the Verdant carried out the last order he had been given by Walker. If he was to die or leave Earth in any manner, the Cathedral was to slumber until his return, the Verdant within using it as a fortress-monastery deep within the wilderness. There was prepared hiding spots, great craters where it could hide flush with the earth. As he left, the tree-creature mused for a moment. It was feeling something new, now. Walker had given it the seed, but it was still only a few weeks old, and rather stoically watching the world with a faint air of curiosity. Something was brewing in it's heart, a strange, wild feeling. It was... taking a moment, it searched it's memory, and found the name for this odd feeling. It was excited. Something was brewing, and the Father of the Verdant was going to meet his maker, intent on overcoming him. Bastion would have to train as well, now that the Cathedral and the future of his nascent race rested on his shoulders. Looking out the window, he noted the great trees growing outside, the sleeping seeds of Ki within. Not ready, yet. Not ready, but soon they would be. Beneath the white armored mask, the tree smiled, as the ship left the battlefield behind. Brothers and sisters, hmm? Well, with Father gone for the moment, it would have to train them. Many books had been left there, both for Walker and for his students and children, friends and family. Some of them had such interesting ideas, like the armor he had fashioned after the structures of the Cathedral sky-city. One of them had discussed many fighters, a group of like-minded people. Father had not asked for such, but Bastion was determined to impress him. When he returned, he would find the Legion waiting for him.
Walker gives his last words. Rei's Absorption was not interrupted. Exiting Thread the hard way. PL please.

If there was one way to describe the sensation that was coursing through the little bio-android's body, then she would have likely compared it to having her stinger poked in a jumbo-sized apple. Indeed, while in the past she had been disgusted by the act of absorbing, to the point it caused her to make it literally leave a foul taste in her mouth, those days were over. She had willingly embraced her true nature, and now the taste of Walker's energy was akin to a delicacy. Nevertheless, she also noticed it was like a modest fount of power, as if she was trying to contain the sea by pouring its water into a small bottle, and perhaps it was because of that, that Reikiko felt the rush of delight even more stronger than normally. The venom had spread entirely, and her tail had started to leech the essence of the Bio-android. Aside from Walker's physical breakdown there was a clear difference in Reikiko's ki. it was as if the density of her energy was growing thicker, the pressure of her power rapidly intensifying when at long last it happened. The moment the last remnants of Walker's essence were drained, the battered clothes of the bio-android collapsed before her, while a surge of energy escaped from within her body. It was a violent gust of energy as the very essence she had been devouring started to manifest physically into the cocoon-shaped contraption that had once been spotted during the events at West Capitol. However, this time it was not silver, but crimson, the energy rapidly shrouding Reikiko within the cocoon, and it would have been impossible not to sense that something was unfolding within. Although it lasted for only a moment, but after a few seconds the cocoon started to show cracks on its surface, and a moment later the shell burst into pieces, revealing what appeared to had been a physically matured Reikiko. The bio-android's eyes briefly laid their gaze onto Walker's hooded outfit, when finally she bent over, a hand reaching for the outfit that she started to put on, clearly disregarding Etoru as even a potential threat. "Heh, should have expected that even in this form your clothes wouldn't fit." Her tone was quite soft for the monster she was showing herself to be, the hood playfully concealing most of her head. It seemed that amidst the whispers and playful demeanor, Reikiko had briefly taken her own moment to cope up with the act of devouring Walker, but the fooling around didn't last long. She removed the attire once more, the fanciful coat carefully rolled up beside her, when finally she graced Etoru with a glance, a light shake of disapproval being made with her head. "You should have left when you had the chance Etoru." The bio-android's gaze narrowed into a glare once more, a hand raised as a torrent of malevolent energy was being channeled out of her body, yet it was at the same time that a voice from nearby interrupted her. "Wait Rei! That boy knows the Solar Flare, you know what that means!"Reikiko seemed to pause for a moment, seemingly turning toward Hikari to reply in a rather cold and curt tone. "I didn't train him, what meant he is likely an associate of Kaula." Hikari nodded her head eagerly, hoping that she would be able to use the boy's connection to Kaula to convince Reikiko to spare his life. However, the short glare that Reikiko shot her way caused the hybrid to freeze as Reikiko replied "Nevertheless, his disruptions and attempt to interfere with my battle will not be tolerated. One simply does not stand between a predator and her prey, even... if they are a friend of Kaula." The bio-android started to walk slowly toward Etoru, the pressure of her presence likely be noticeable as it had become overwhelming more powerful than it had been in the past. "I guess since Kaula is absent, Rei-sensei will be tending to class today, and I'll be teaching you how to die." The bio-android raised one of her arms, palm extending aimed at one of the two Etoru clones, when suddenly a surge of energy escaped from her body, the energy being conjured into a modest-sized beam of energy that was send toward one of the Etoru clones (Etoru 2). It wouldn't have been enough to truly hurt him, but likely more than plenty to knock him off his feet like a warning shot. "Hmm, that was weaker than I expected it to be... I guess it's to be expected due to a lack of adaption to this semi-perfect form." Reikiko mused her thoughts out loud, and finally shrugged her shoulders lightly, shaking her head while replying in an amused tone. "Nevertheless, this will qualify for now. It's a pity you had to cross my path Etoru." Yet despite her sorrowful tone the smile that emerged on her lips and the cheerful words that followed seemed a clear contradiction. "C'est la guerre. (It can't be helped)" There was no way around it, despite her playful personality the ascended Reikiko was clearly peeved, and one could easily see that she intended to punish the child for not knowing his place. The eerie feeling that came from Reikiko had caused even Hikari to freeze up for a moment, clearly worried about Reikiko's mental state of being, but she know more than well that interfering with that fight would be a horrible idea. No, there was only one way this confrontation was going to end. ---- Reikiko absorbed Walker and gained the hardcap PL of 33k Reikiko ascended to Semi-Perfect and now has x13 (x14 offensive due to traits) Reikiko's new PL: 4,594,278 Reikiko fired a none KP ki blast at Etoru clone 2 to intimidate him Reikiko regained 1 KP point 3/3 KP Hikari gets 1KP from no tech use 3/3 but is a bit too scared to interfere.

Etoru stared wided eyed at the scene. The tail pierced right through Walker. Etoru's jaw moved, but he couldn't form any words. He was still in a seated position as he stared in disbelief. "...B....B....B-But...I-I...h-h....ow....." Etoru couldn't believe it. He failed. Again. HIS FRIEND DIED! AND IT WAS ALL HIS FAULT! Walker told Etoru to keep training, but he also seemed happy with Rei! LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED AT ALL! "M-MR.WALKER! N-NO! I-I-I....IT ISN'T TOO LATE! I CAN STILL SAVE YOU....A...A...AND..." He clenched his fists hanging his head, tears dripping down his face. Who was he kidding. It was already way to late. Perhaps if he didn't use a clone, he'd be able to get by with enough strength to stop her. But unfortunately, he was a fool. "...H-How is it not her fault Mr.Walker!" He said while choking on his words through tears. Before he knew it, Walker was slowly breaking apart. His last words were...'before all creation, must come destruction.' Etoru sobbed as he hung his head. Tears dripped to the floor.
He felt the immense power of Reikiko growing by the second. Etoru couldn't stand it! HOW COULD SOMEONE KILL! TO GAIN POWER! He sniffled. "I...It's all my fault..." He gasped. He realized he was the one who distracted Walker and left him vulnerable. Etoru grabbed his heart feeling a sudden pain. He breathed heavily unable to process what just happened. Before he knew it, he picked his head up too look at Rei's cocoon. He glared angrily. "T...T...That bastard......." He said through gritted teeth. He used his forearm to wipe away his tears. Etoru felt a tremendous amount of energy forming inside the cocoon. Etoru clenched his fists tightly bracing himself for what were to come. The outer shell began to crack a few times before the crimson red cocoon bursted open into many fragments revealing a new transformed Reikiko. She looked like she's gained some age and height. Etoru and Etoru 2 both glared angrily. They shook holding their emotions.
Reikiko looked around for a moment before laying her eyes on Walker's robes. She didn't do anything for a few moments leaving a sense of a dramatic pause. She picked up the outfit and tried to put it on. Etoru grit his teeth. When she casually talked about Walker's outfit after she just killed him, Etoru yelled at her furiously. His voice shaky, he couldn't contain his rage and blew it all out in a rant. "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH WALKERS STUFF LIKE THAT........!" His pupils grew thin and his teeth, barely noticeable, showed small signs of fangs. His nails seemed a teed bit sharper too. She discarded the robes then looked at Etoru saying he should of left when he had the chance. Etoru glared at her before she raised her palm. An enormous amount of energy flowing caused Etoru to cower back a bit in fear. Even though the attack wasn't direct at him, the sheer power of it caused Etoru 2 to recoil. The poor clone was startled.
Fortunately, before she fired the blast, Hikari tried to stop her. She stated Etoru knew the solar flare which got him confused. They came up with the conclusion that he knew Kaula. "They know Ms.Kaula...??" Etoru frowned. Of course, Reikiko used to be one of the good guys. He couldn't believe it though. She used to be one of the people he looked up to and aspired to be! She was incredibly strong and talented! But can someone like her....d-dwindle down to...THIS! Etoru looked back up at her. Hikari seemed to be pleased she agreed with the conclusion! Welp, she probably thought Rei would spare Etoru. Either way, Etoru was pretty infuriated. However, Reikiko didn't seem to fond with Etoru interrupting their battle. At the same time, Etoru didn't seem to fond either seeing as he got Walker killed.
Reikiko began walking towards Etoru. Frightened, Etoru stared at her crawling back nervously. The power she was giving off was intense! Extremely powerful for that matter! He gulped unsure of what to do. He was still extremely frustrated. How could he let this happen?! Etoru growled when she said she'll be the teacher, and she'll be showing him how to die. "....Shut....Up...." He said through gritted teeth. Suddenly, she raised her palm at Etoru 2 who in an instant, trembled in fear. The blast soared towards him, sending him skidding on his back. Luckily, he wasn't hurt. Soon enough, both Etoru's lost their Super Saiyan transformation, although their powers didn't drop. Oddly enough, it increased. Etoru growled angrily. "...I hate...people like you..." Both Etoru's had their head down speaking simultaneously. Both of them picked their heads up growling. Both had fangs, orange eyes with think pupils and sharp nails. His hair and tail were frizzy. Suddenly, Etoru 2 turned into an orange ball of ki aura and soared to Etoru. Etoru's power rose back to normal heights, even a little higher.
"I WONT LET YOU...GET AWAY WITH ANY OF THIS!!!!!!" His orange aura flared around him as he stood on all fours. The ground cracked and his aura whipped wildly in every direction. His power rose to 2,937,825. He clenched his fingers on the ground causing a sharp trail of five lines on each side, left and right. The Ancient Hound's energy seeped out more, which was just the Hounds Roar . The energy was really there, but wasn't exactly at disposal. His power rose too 5,875,650. However, before he decided to make his move, it dropped back to the original power level. Etoru didn't notice his sudden rise in power and continued narrowing his eyes back at Reikiko. "DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He snarled as he kicked off. A gust of wind rose bursted behind him. He attempted to slash Reikiko's face with his left hand only to quickly revert to a kick from his right leg on her side. Whether he succeeded or not, he'd jump high into the air doing a bunch of extremely fast flips which looked like light speed for the untrained eye. Soon, the beast like Etoru came down back at her, his foot trying to crash into her cranium. --- Battle notes: Etoru was left in disbelief at Walkers death. Etoru felt it was his fault. Etoru went into a state of rage and anger, only to be frightened by Reikiko. Both for that matter. --- Etoru 2 returned back to Etoru.

The bestial roar that accompanied Etoru's transformation had been enough to draw Reikiko's curiosity, and while she seemed to disregard his skyrocketing ki, perhaps out of arrogance, the bio-android's expression had started to show hints of curiosity as she stopped a few steps away from Etoru.
"Ho... That isn't a Saiyajin transformation."
The bio-android mused softly, sensing the primal instincts surfacing within the boy. It was fascinating, and yet amusingly ironic that the boy had fallen prey to such a basic emotion like rage, not that she should have expected anything different from a Saiyan. When Etoru lashed out at her, the bio-android's lips curved into a brief smirk, as if she had been planning something. Etoru's attack did hit its intended target, the first slash with his hand seemingly hitting her cheek, but it didn't seem to be enough to even leave a flesh-wound. Although the second attack that came in the form of a kick had much more success, landing into the side of her body, it didn't move her in the slightest, but the fact that she didn't attempt to dodge or counter his blows must had suggested she was underestimating the boy. The upwards leap was accompanied by Reikiko's head shifting its angle slightly upwards, giving Etoru the chance to carry out his attack to its fullest. The kick did hit the intended area, but it appeared her crown had hardened to such a degree that the attack had little to no use.
"Is that all? If it is, then your hatred is pathetic."
The bio-android's grin faded away, her tail suddenly swishing forwards, seemingly intending to try to coil around Etoru's neck, hoping that the sudden lack of air would immobilize him while she returned the flurry of blows as a greeting. Her first attack came in the form of a knee-strike toward his chest, that if hit would likely cause the boy to be knocked upwards into the air from the impact, while at the same time she would allow her tail to slide back behind her so she could finish her combination... and a painful combination it had been. The second motion had come in the form of a rush, a body-slam in the hope of making the boy reel backwards, and then finally she would have allowed her flurry of blows to finish by lunging toward Etoru, a downwards axe-shaped kick being made to knock the boy toward the Bamboo forest beneath them, rapidly descending after him so that she could finish off her greeting by slamming her foot into the boy's stomach the moment he reached the ground.
"You will let me get away with this, because you have no other choice. Right now you are but a weak child, powerless and helpless as the maelstrom of violence continues to consume those you care for. It's why Walker gave me this power, so that someone could oppose it someday. Then again, perhaps my old friend was too kind to think a child would understand such things."
The words were followed by another kick, this one seemingly aimed at his crotch, but more of a sweeping kick in the hope of throwing Etoru into a nearby tree, while she sensed Hikari's approaching presence, at least her companion was still safe.
"And with that playtime is over and the time for your exams has begun. If you have need for counsel, now is your last chance to ask!"
Judging from the fact Reikiko's aura was starting to surge up violently, to the point it was already starting to surpass her usual energy, it was clear that whatever the bio-android was preparing, it was going to be quite an unpleasant gift!
---- Reikiko took the blunt of Etoru's attacks and seems mostly unharmed! Reikiko returned the physical greeting by trying to give the boy some tough-loving An dreadful amount of energy is spiking from the bio-android! KP 3/3 (no tech use)

Etoru soared towards her angrily. His aura aura flared wildly. His first strike came in. Success! It hit her face! Etoru was to enraged to really notice that she could have dodge or blocked it if she wanted to. Soon, he whipped back then sent his right leg for her! The attack soared, crashing into her side causing a loud sound wave. Although, it was more obvious now that she really wasn't trying to move! Etoru grit his teeth angrily. He jumped in the air doing his flips. He let out a loud roar as he soared back down. His foot crashed onto her forehead. The force caused HIS legs to tingle in the same sensation if you hit your funny bone! BUT SHE LOOKED PERFECTLY FINE! Etoru's thin pupils stared right at the bio android, unable to make out words. He was too shocked. Then Reikiko taunted him which caused him to clench his fists so tightly. blood dripped down them. Etoru glared frustrated with her. It was then he widened his eyes to see her tail swoosh forward. He tried to jump back but....her speed was phenomenal! The tail wrapped around his neck. The poor boy yelped in pain loudly before coughing. Before he knew it, a flurry of strikes came at him. His eyes went wide. Each time he tried to take a breath, the tail blocked his air way, and the punches knocked all the wind out of him. Soon enough, she kneed his gut sending him flying forwards. As she kneed his gut, blood spurted out his mouth. The child soared into the sky. Who knew how long he would have kept going before her tail swooped down smashing him into the ground. Etoru let out a cry of pain. But he knew if he stayed her, he would of been demolished. Bouncing right to his feet, he kicked back before the body slam came at him. Reikiko wasn't delaying anything for that matter and rushed straight into him! Etoru tried to dodge the intense barrage of punches and jabs. He dodged a few, but for the most part, she was really putting a dent in. "...d....d....darn it....h-how can I fight an enemy...t-that I can't hurt.....!" Before he knew it, she went straight in for a kick. Etoru put his arms in an 'x' formation about his head in desperate efforts to block the kick. The force broke his arms apart and back to their sides and sent Etoru soaring down to the bamboo forest. He crashed into a bunch of trees before smashing into the ground hard. Before he knew it, Rei came crashing down. Her foot dug into his stomach letting Etoru cough up blood. He let out a loud cry of pain as he held his stomach and squirmed around wildly. He dragged his foot back and forth and wriggled his back as he fought back the sudden pain. He breathed heavily as Reikiko talked, his orange eyes and thin pupils glaring at her weakly. "I...It isn't true....! IT CAN'T BE! J-J-JUST BE QUIET!" And with that said, she kicked him aside knocking him into a tree. He yelped in pain as he lied there in a seated position. He held his gut and breathed heavily. Everything hurt. He felt like he could give in any second now, but that would be a bad time considering the predicament he was in. Etoru looked at Reikiko and realized her power was rising. He didn't have enough strength right now to block it! Etoru glared and grit his teeth. He needed to whip up an attack right now or else he's done for! He put his palm straight up and gripped his wrist with his free hand panting. He didn't have enough energy, he was a gonner. All of a sudden, an orange aura swooped around him giving him more energy and healing his wounds. Etoru grit his teeth glaring at Reikiko. His power was restored thanks to the Wolf Spirit's power. Now all he had to do was charge up his signature move. This will most likely not stop her attack, but instead, reduce the damage. Etoru had no other option right now. He had to do what he had to do. --- Etoru took a beating. --- Etoru KP: 0/3 Sensu Bean flavored as the Wolf Spirit's power healing Etoru. [MP3] Shenkai Beam Charging. PL: 2,937,825|||Next round: 5,875,650

She was a bit surprised at the fact the boy still had the energy to remain standing. It spoke volumes of his endurance, or his determination to stick to his beliefs. The bio-android knew that type of stubbornness all too well, in the end her lover carried the blood of the Saiyan race within her, and she herself was a rather stubborn individual also. No, there was only one way to repay that type of determination... by crushing it with an overwhelming force!
"Ignorance is a bliss, but not an excuse for escaping reality..."
Slowly the powerful pressure that had been released in the air around her body seemed to manifest physically, the crimson aura that she had once been known for surging violently, like a raging flame that send gust after gust around her. The boy was seemingly charging up an attack, a powerful one that might had been his ace card for this battle, so it would only be just for her to return the favor. Hovering slightly upwards into the air, just a few paces above the surface the bio-android's hands were raised upwards, seemingly in the direction of the boy.
"Ki.."
The aura clearly started to expand rapidly, and the moment her hands started to form that familiar diamond-shaped window that she used to calculate the trajectory of her attack, Reikiko's ki had became even more violent than before, sparks of energy being unleashed around her body. Could this be the forbidden technique that Hikari had mentioned about earlier? That technique that could decide a battle in one fell swoop? A deep breath followed, accompanied by the next piece.
"Ko..."
By now the energy had started to gather visibly in the window of her hands, as if it had become the focus of all the power that had been conjured, a catalyst for the devastation that was about to follow. The crimson energy pulsed violently, and even in her current state Reikiko could feel the strain of the attack on her body. The muscles in her hands were being put under pressure, and the protective carapace was cracking lightly under the pressure of the building up power. But that was a small price to pay for the destruction that would pave the path to her victory.
"HO!"
The final part came as a loud shout, almost a warcry when from within the space of her hands the energy had been expelled forwards in the form of a large beam, scorching anything in its path while heading straight toward the boy. She knew all too well that Etoru was about to try to defy her until the end, but there was simply no way one could oppose the Kikoho. It was for that very reason her master had labeled it a forbidden technique...
"This settles it..."
With those confident words whispered the bio-android's breathing had clearly grown a bit more ragged, a momentary cough escaping from her mouth while she tried to catch her breath. If only that attack didn't have such a backlash on her. Nonetheless, it was nothing her Namekian genes couldn't regenerate on their own. In the meanwhile Hikari clearly remained a fair distance away from the two, clearly not daring to interrupt this clash, for who know what the results of that would be...
---- Reikiko: Fired a Kikoho and suffered the backlash from it, the attack is curiously not using the intent to kill Etoru, but at least harm him seriously. Kikoho: 6,580,419 KP: 0/3
Hikari: Staying away from the scary people KP: 3/3
