Thread PL: 4617 (Because of Light Weights) He stood atop the tallest tree in the Fukkuroh Forest, staring down at the lush green foliage below him. The young human was more of a nature lover than you'd imagine, since at one time the APPC had him destroying planets. He'd played a part in the deaths of thousands, and their blood had stained his hands. He sighed and looked down, wild red hair whipping in the wind. He'd done so much to so many different races, and like the weighted duster he now donned, these sins weighed upon his soul. He never wanted to be a killer. No. At the time, he was led to believe that it was the only way. He would be told lies by King Cube, an evil Arcosian who would do the same thing his ancestor had done. Manipulate fighters to do his bidding. Sangu swallowed back the tears. You see, he knew he wasn't strong enough to destroy Cube, which was why he knew he needed a way to become more powerful. He just had no idea how. It was then that he decided to actually USE this skill he'd learned. He'd need to strengthen it anyway, as he could sense Ki...just not who it belonged to. He knew who he wanted to give a hard smack in the face. This Arcosian's condescending tone had stuck with the human since they'd met that night. The Red Dragon closed his eyes and focused, trying to pick up Ki in the surrounding area. Specifically? Shivere's ki... Shivere

Shivere blasted through the air above the forest. He wasn't flying at full speed, just enough that he could figure where he wanted to land. His ship was still busted, and he didn't feel the need to spend all of his money on fixing it. He would much prefer to find some monkeys living out in the wilderness and take theirs. As a lesser species to his own, they obviously had less use for currency. Looking down, he contemplated the strangeness of Earth's plant life. The Arcosian felt no attachment to this planet or its people, and if it blew up tomorrow he wouldn't shed a single tear. It was strange, though, that he had not found any intelligent life out in this forest...
Until he spotted the human, perched atop a tall tree. He couldn't quite remember who it was, but he felt a sort of inner recognition... Like the feeling you get when you can't quite remember the word you're looking for.
Coming to a complete stop like a whip snapping in the air, he looked the human over. Yes, he remembered now. This was the human who had tried to chest up to him when Shivere had first landed here on Earth. Perhaps now he could satisfy his need for both zenni and destruction...

Sanguinis' "chesting up" to Shivere was a mistake at first. Yes, he'd shown great prejudice toward the Arcosian at first. He knew Shivere wouldn't have understood why he was so quick to try and protect the child, but he knew why he would be on edge whenever he saw an Arcosian. He waited there in the tall tree quietly, hair blowing in the wind. Surprisingly for the well meaning human, that very same wind he would feel would be coming from Shivere, whom he spotted and looked up at. Chuckling, he rose into the air slowly, standing face to face with the Arcosian. "So here I was, looking for you and here you are. You've found me first, Arcosian. Tell me, didn't you say it would be ashamed for the demoness to die along with her friends? Well, let me enlighten you to the fact that you aren't killing anyone. Not on my watch."

"HA!" Shivere couldn't help the outburst. Here was a monkey he had found in the trees, who had learned to fly out of the trees. He found the irony delectable.
"So," he said, without the smirk leaving his face, "You truly believe you can take me on? Without your friends here, you won't have anyone to listen to your final words as you die. Is that reeeeally what you want?"
Regardless, it would be a good chance to test out his skills. But he wanted to make it interesting...
"How about this," Shivere added, crossing his arms in as insulting a manner as possible, "If you can make me use my left hand, I won't kill you. And, just to be a gentleman, I'll even let you have the first move..."

He tilted his head, slightly shocked that the Arcosian would give him an advantage. Hadn't happened before, though he figured this alien must be so confident in his power that he would offer the human the upper hand. He studied the Arcosian from head to toe, getting a sense of his base form power. He smirked. "My, you are powerful aren't you? I can see why you would try and offer little old me some sort of leeway in this battle. Never heard of an Arcosian who would give an opponent the first attack. In my experience-" he laughed. "-you normally attack from behind. Well-" his smile faded. "-if you are offering me the first move in this little scuffle, then I suppose I should take it."And move he did, as he slowly removed the weights from his wrists and ankles. He knew the Arcosian could sense his power rising, and from what Sangu had sensed, he was on equal footing with Shivere. He took a Dragon Kung Fu Stance in mid air, and motioned the Arcosian on. "Bring it."Weights Off: PL: 6156

The green-domed Arcosian snickered aloud. Only a monkey needed weights to become stronger. His species, being far less evolved than Shivere's own, was still on an even lower level than the Saiyan monkeys. Ironic that the humans no longer had tails.
"If you insist..."
Even in his suppressed form Shivere was quicker than any untrained eye could follow. He didn't bother to form a stance or even create a strategy, unless moving without thought counts. Shivere darted to the side, seeming to disappear for a split second before he would reappear behind Sanguinis. The Arcosian would attempt to lock his legs around the human and spin him until he had enough force to fling him away into the trees.
A few moments later, Shivere would blast backwards with a burst of ki, and begin shooting off small bolts of green energy from his right hand. Simple ki attacks that would burst in roughly a ten foot diameter all around, causing smoke and dirt to billow up into the air. After blasting off about ten or so, he turned away from Sanguinis and laughed.
"Well, that was even easier than anticipated," he chuckled, looking down into the smoldering crater. "Earth is so boring..."

He grunted as he slammed into the ground, his body already racked with pain from that first flurry of energy blasts, each burning into his skin. Damn, this Arcosian meant business. He lay there for a moment, shaking his head and almost wondering what he'd gotten himself into.
"Oh hell no...it's not...*coughs*...that easy..."
Suprisingly, the human buried his fist into the smoldering crater and pushed himself to his feet. Whether Shivere was aware of it or not, the young man had a lot of guts. He wiped blood from his lip and stood there, covered in scorch marks from head to two. What REALLY pissed him off? His duster was ripped to shreds, and his pants had become shorts.
And in a rage he blasted off into the air after Shivere. "Hey numb nuts!" Getting the Arcosians attention, he would attempt a left hook. "Don't..." then he would move into a right jab to the midsection. "...call..." followed by a high knee to the bridge of the nose. "...me..." clotheslining the Arcosian in midair so hard that he'd likely decapitate him if he hit. "...a monkey!"
He trusted both bare feet into the Arcosian's stomach and sent him flying toward the very same crater, following up with a large blast of Ki.

Shivere made the mistake of turning his back on Sanguinis. He didn't have much experience fighting others who were not of his species, and this human had dropped pretty easily. Just as he focused his ki downward to fly away, the man he had assumed dead was speeding toward him at incredible speed. The arcosian's eyes widened in sheer surprise, and as he twisted around, he only barely managed to block Sangu's hook with his right forearm. He managed to catch it inside the elbow, but the sheer force still caused the bone to sting. Still caught off guard by the attack, Shivere missed the man's right fist as it slammed into his abdomen and withdrew like a hornet's stinger.
For a split second Shivere couldn't breathe. It felt as though someone had slammed a piece of iron into his gut, and it was time to get serious. Without realizing that he was using both arms, he caught Sangu's knee just before it reached chin height. But the upward force pushed Shivere back far enough that it left the green-domed arcosian open to the full blow that came next. Everything went white for a second, then black as he lost his sense of consciousness for a couple of seconds. He didn't realize that he was already hurtling toward the ground before he was able to stabilize himself with his ki. Somehow, he had completely missed the giant glowing blast that was hurtling straight at him.
Eyes widening, it was all that he could do to hold the blast back. He pushed against it with every bit of his strength and willpower, and only barely managed to fling it up into the air. It exploded like a giant firework, and the arcosian was left blowing on his smoking fingers.
Floating up toward Sanguinis, Shivere couldn't help but smile.
"I am pleasantly surprised, despite the fact that you believe I have testicles, demonstrating your level of ignorance. My species has evolved to a higher state of being that you humans will likely never achieve, since you have a tendency toward blowing each other up with weapons of mass destruction. Yet, you have shown that you have been able to achieve a level of power nearly equal to my own whilst I am within my suppressed state."
Shivere held up his hand, and Sanguinis would be able to see the scarring on the arcosian's fingers from the man's blast.
"But you see, this is my suppressed form. I have two more transformations, each more powerful than the last." He looked into the man's eyes. "However, you did force me to use both of my arms, so I won't kill you. I wouldn't mind having a pet though... What do you think? I could make you very wealthy if you chose to serve me..."

He looked serenely at the scarring on the Arcosian's hand, then smiled as he knew that burned a bit. This human, this Sangu, was one hell of a fighter to be a "mere human". In a way, he could see that his power had impressed Shivere slightly. And in another way, he himself was impressed by something. He slowly lowered himself to the ground, standing tall with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Impressive, Arcosian. You know, I appreciate the fact that you are fighting honorably. It leads me to believe that perhaps you aren't like Cube at all, though I will not serve you." If the Arcosian were any sort of reader of emotions, than he could see a tinge of sadness in Sangu's eyes as he mentioned that name. Sangu furrowed his brow. "Oh, trust you me, I know all about your species. Logistics wise anyway. When I was a young child, my mother and father gave me up to an Arcosian known as Cube. They did so to protect an entire city, so that part doesn't bother me. I know all about your forms, and how you fight because Cube trained me. But..."
A sigh escaped the lips of the warrior from Earth as he looked down at the ground with his fists clenched. "He double crossed my father and mother...he destroyed the city while I was off "clearing off land" for him to "sell" on the Galactic Black Market. I realize now that this wasn't your fault, but..." he suddenly smiled, his tone raising to one of excitement. "...i'm having too much fun playing with you to stop now! Tell you what, let's do this on the ground, let's do this like the old warriors."
He staggered his stance, right leg sliding out behind him and his left leg bent at the knee slightly. He slowly raised his arms before him, fingers arched downward like a praying mantis' claws. "Lemme show you what my father taught me. I bet you can't hit me, and if you do...once...then you win."

Shivere lowered himself slowly to the ground, and a tingle shot through his back as he felt his feet connect with the earth below. His face showed no signs of any real emotion as he listened to the man standing before him, though he couldn't keep his tail from twitching. This was the first time he had ever had a chance to fight someone who was neither a member of his species, nor was he a slave being used as a sort of 'practice dummy'.
"So, you were trained by an Arcosian then. Interesting."
The arcosian twisted himself around and faced away from Sanguinis. He felt as though he recognized his opponent's posture, but he couldn't seem to put a name to it. Back toward Sangu, Shivere lowered his left arm and raised his right, pivoting on his feet to turn back toward the human. Taking a step outward, he began to walk slowly in a circle around the man. He shifted his weight between his feet as he moved, keeping his grounding as well as a solid radius around Sanguinis. The arcosian shifted through the trees as if they were not there, keeping Sangu as the center point of his rotation.
"You may have been trained by an Arcosian, but that does not mean you know everything about us."
In an instant Shivere twisted his body around in the opposite direction, and circled inward with blinding speed. First, he dropped into a low stance along the ground and swung his right leg out in the attempt to knock the man off of his feet, then followed with a twisting strike from the hips that focused all of his energy into his knuckles and whipped it around to strike at Sanguinis' face. If the blow actually struck, it would most assuredly have the force to crack the man's jaw into shattered bits of bone fragments. Flipping back and up into the air, the arcosian moved in once more to strike with his other hand, but feinted instead to whip at his target's chest with his tail in full swing.
Shivere leapt back, flipping over his hands to land on his feet roughly ten feet away from Sangu.

He braved himself and shifted his own weight back on his good leg, circling with the Arcosian. Shivere could see a smile forming on the face of the human warrior, almost reminiscent of a Saiyan's excitement for battle. As far as a challenge went, this Arcosian had given him what he so desired. Honestly, he went into this fight knowing full well the prowess of the Arcosian, the Changeling. He KNEW this creature could change from and out power him at any second.
"You're not so bad, you know. Perhaps I was wrong about you, as it seems not all of your kind are dishonorable."
He then made due note of the Arcosian's stance.
"Which style of Kung Fu is that? Suprisingly, I am unfamiliar with this fighting style. However, I am intrigued..." the human chuckled. "...I may not know everything about you, but every battle is a learning experience. Don't you agree?"
He probably would have continued talking, but his eyes went wide as the Arcosian moved in for the lightning fast attack. In a show of incredible speed, our hero jumped into the air over the Arcosian's leg, but took the blow intended for his face to the ribs. The agile warrior landed on his feet, ignoring the pain long enough to jump backwards, a bruise forming on his side as his ribson cracked...he coughed and panted for a moment as he fell to a knee, but strangely...he was still hurt. "Ugh! Damn, that hurt Arcosian! But guess what?"
Coughing and holding his ribs, he roared as he exploded forward..."It's gonna take more than that to knock this tiger out!" His aura blazed white as he closed the ten feet between he and Shivere, landing on his feet before him. Sangu drew back with his right hand, but attempted a body blow, infused with ki, with his left then jumped up and screamed. "Yotetsuruken!", spinning his body with his leg outstretched, a kick that would send the Arcosian to dreamland if it connected, following up with an attempted uppercut if the kick connected as the Arcosian reeled backwards.

"Lightweight fighters like myself prefer such styles as BaGua Zhang. The outward rotation allows us to spiral our energy into a single focus point, with no real chance of our target escaping."[/color] Shivere realized he should not have spoken, for now he was wide open to Sanguinis' attack. The human must not have realized the amount of force he put behind his strike - the blow connected full on and the next thing Shivere knew was the force of crashing through dozens of trees as he flew backwards. He felt the full force of the earth as he crashed into the ground, flipped up off his shoulder, slammed through another tree with a huge crack! and was bashed into the earth once more. A rift in the ground followed the Arcosian for nearly two hundred feet, and as Shivere lay there stunned he felt the throbbing of a dislocated shoulder. He lay there, twisting around so that he could look up into the sky, and it felt as though the changeling had been slammed by a giant hammer. Luckily, the crystal in his chest had not cracked; his bio-armor had protected his vital organs. Standing up slowly, Shivere brushed himself off. Each movement stung painfully, and he was sure that he had broken at least a couple of bones. Sangu had become a threat - it seemed to the Arcosian that Sangu's power seemed fairly close to Shivere's own suppressed form. Pushing himself roughly three feet into the air, he focused intensely. His power began to spike upward as he concentrated, creating a whipping wind-like energy that began to tear a sphere into the ground he had flown up from. He felt his muscles condense and contract, and everything around him seemed to slow down as if time itself was bending to his will. His bones cracked into place and seemingly healed on their own as he transformed. "So, what do you think?" The Arcosian asked as he flew toward the man. "This is my true form. I am impressed by your skills, but you will be unable to hurt me now unless you have some kind of 'hidden power' of which I am unaware. My offer still stands. Work for me, and we can both improve our fighting skills... And perhaps use them to our advantage..."The changeling cocked his head to the side, eyes unblinking as he awaited a reply. Hmmm... The Sangu Force... No, that's stupid. We would need to find other fighters first regardless...

He loved a challenge. He really did. As he saw the Arcosian's crazy transformation happen before his very eyes, he also felt the warrior's energy increase immensely. Stepping back, he closed his eyes and dug deep, feeling that familiar vacuum of power within his soul. Suddenly, the rocks at his feet began to slowly rise as he began to push his body, pushing out energy. He was focused, trying to match the Arcosian's power as his white aura exploded outward, and grew, the trees around the two swaying in the wind.
"HaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa!" Small blood vessels began popping up from the surface of his skin as he pushed the energy outward, his eyes wide. Sweat began to slide down his forehead as his power skyrocketed for just a second...then...he fell to a knee, panting...(Intense Struggle almost activated...but not...)
He shook his head and chuckled, standing and offering his hand to the Arcosian. "Fine...perhaps you and I would be better off as allies than enemies, considering that there are stronger enemies out there. Besides, this little spar has been fun...I already feel more powerful."
The olive branch was extended...would Shivere take it?
