A heated Conversation [CLOSED DE: ENABLED]

Raima smirked as she landed a clean hit on him with one of her extra arms, glad that she somehow learned how to do such a technique from raw instinct alone many years ago.  Extra arms really did help out when it came to a brawl.  Although he was glad that she made a couple clean hits, it was surprising to see some use out of that tail of his.  That tail was at least on par with an extra set of arms, which that fact alone was somewhat scary.  

Retsu would step backward, which was a sign that he was going to pull something off which, surprise surprise, he did.  Using the tail that dwarfs her own, he would toss her away by grabbing her ankle.  In the motion of getting swung, Raima decided to create some ki blasts in her hands, as she knew she could retaliate by throwing them while she was in mid-air.  What she didn't expect was for Retsu to be quick enough on his feet to shoot a couple ki blasts of her own.  Although a bad surprise, Raima was perfectly happy with this development as this means this was going to be a good fight.  So, before the ki blasts landed on her, the saiyan would throw all four of her ki blasts at arcosian, looking for a dual trade of blows.

With Retsu's own attacks landing against her, she would be barreled towards the ground with twice the speed, but she screeched to a halt when her hands would dig into the ground, pulling it up as she slowed herself to a halt.  She pulls herself up, and looks at her nearby surroundings to notice that she was right next to a large object.  Raima would wrap her arms around the tree right next to her, uplifting it out of the ground with only minute trouble.  The woman would then chuck the tree at Retsu with full strength and, before it left her proximity, she would lunch a full power punch at the base of the tree, shattering the base and sending splinter shards shooting around the perimeter of the tree, which was propelled even faster towards the Arcosian.


[Forgot to list KP last post...  SO, KP 2/3 ===> 3/3]

Raima would just chuckle as she would watch the Arcosian completely obliterate the launched tree with its fist, and then made a comment about learning how to fight much better than what made that pile of dust. Chuckling, she would relax a little as she stood herself upright, and pointed with all of her hands to him as she would say back to him, "Same to you buddy, but now isn't a good time to chat, is i-"

He would cut her off as he would break the sound barrier and start rushing towards her, Raima pulling up her arms in front of her for a wall of arms to defend her. She would feel the breeze whip her arms as he pulled upward, and with a twist of her body, Raima would block with her arms side-by-side, able to take the punishment of these light ki blasts. Once they stopped coming, she would look upward just in time to witness the Arcosian speeding towards her. With a grin on her face, she came up with a devious idea, but one that would be disastrous for her in the long run...



Ehhh, fuck it! It's a good brawl after all!



She would start forming ki balls in her back hands, while moving her normal hands to block her face from any harm. I mean, he probably will not see the Chili Pulse¹ being started behind her back. The worst that was going to happen was that he was going to have a torpedo like headbutt collide against her arms. It was at this point that Raima saw something odd in her logic.  For some reason, she felt like that she was forge-

Her arms caught the orb-like headbutt of Retsu, feeling the shock of the impact rattle her bones, but the kicker to all this were the horns that she forgot about.  The horns were able to go around the arms that she was blocking with, and were spearing through both of her shoulders, and holy hell did that hurt!  Raima let out a scream of visceral pain that was clearly visible on her face, as she could tell that the horns had pierced right through her shoulder bones.

With another scream, she would shout at him, "THAT HUUUUUURTS!"  With this, she would use the two arms she was hiding behind her back, and slam the ki balls together, unleashing the Chili Pulse at point-blank range, aiming to blast him right in the middle of his back in order to get him off of her.

Whether or not this would succeed, Raima would back off a little and use her extra arms to assess the damage to her normal arms.  Although the bleeding was limited as the horns miraculously missed any arteries or veins, she was not able to properly move her normal hands, unable to pull them up even a single inch without feeling an ungodly amount of pain.  Heh, for the rest of this brawl, she was going to have to rely on her back hands.  Not a problem, as she kept using the Four Witches for situations like these.

Now that things were getting interesting, Raima was sure as hell not ready to stop this hell of a brawl!

There's always a sense of satisfaction that comes along with landing a good attack, and Raima was full of it right now.  But rather than milking the moment for all its worth, Raima had to stay focused as Retsu was one hell of a fighter.  The arcosian would back away in order to take a breather, talking rather proud about how he was able to equalize the amount of limbs the two were using.  Then the Arcosian had to go ahead and say that his tail was superior to hers, which all of this caused the saiyan woman to chuckle.

"I see your point, but you just haaad to turn it into a 'who has the bigger tail competition.'  I can guarantee that I win in the superior tail category, hands down.  You'll see."

She continued grinning as Retsu returned her words with a barrage of fists mixed in with strikes from his own tail.  Because her normal hands were out of commission, she would block with her extra set of arms, even though it was harder to block with the hands that sprout from your back.  This causes her to take a few more punches than she would like, each punch causing her to wince in pain. However, she managed to block each attack to her shoulder except for the very first one, once she realized that his tail was aiming to attack her weak point.

During each punch, Raima was actually getting ready to use her tail as she unwrapped it from around her waist and manipulated it out of her pants.  And during this onslaught of punches, she could tell that Retsu had some sort of trick up his sleeve, her fighting instincts screaming at her that he was about to do something.  Thankfully these instincts were correct, as once the arcosian was finished with his punches, he backed off and lifted a hand in order to shoot a strong ki attack.

Raima's eyes widen as she quickly hopped to the side of the beam using an afterimage¹, barely getting hit as she could feel some of the hairs on her broken arms singing from the Ki's energy.  Raima would sprint for the gray arcosian, leaping over him with enough strength to land right behind him and over his tail.  She would hop onto Retsu's back, locking her legs around his abdomen, all the while she would use her own tail to constrict his own tail so that he would not use it as she would pull off a plan of her own.

Her plan that actually required her to use some of her saiyan combat knowledge.

She would wrap her extra arms around his next, positioning them in the same way as a perfect sleeper hold.  Raima attempted to cut off the oxygen and blood flow to his brain, in order to slow down his movements and hopefully knock this arcosian out.  While trying to do all of this, she would unlock one of her legs and pull it back.  And just as quickly as she pulled it out, she would bring it back into the leg lock around the alien's abdomen, aiming a heel kick straight for his abdomen.

She was happy to hear that she was given the compliment of being extremely hard to put down, so much so that helped her keep her grin throughout the entire ordeal.  And the friggin' thing he said about the tail being not for her to touch made her blush a bit, but couldn't resist but increase the constriction just a little bit to tease the Arcosian.  She never knew that arcosians felt that way about their tails, thinking that they were just weak points they had to train off at an early point in their lives.  Just hearing this on top of fighting against such a strong opponent...  This day immediately became a ten out of ten.

Proud of her attack, even though it was slightly unfair since she was literally latched onto him at the moment, she would be surprised by the grey being's next attack.  He would shoot a barrage of ki blasts in the air, which Raima could see come back down on her.  Before Retsu could even start attempting to headbutt her, Raima was already off of his back and using her extra hands to block.  This did not help one bit as she was hit with an onslaught of ki blasts, she almost lost her footing from this attack and her extra arms were now stinging with pain.  She endured the pain, however, as she somewhat agreed that it is time to end this fight.

Raima would roll her neck around as she would say to him with a hint of sadness plaguing her voice, "Eeeeeh, alright.  Fine.  We'll end this fight with one last attack.  I'll get myself ready, while you do the same."  Before she did anything, however, she started biting the inside of her cheek a little, as what she was about to do was going to hurt in her condition.  

She would start to shake a little as she forced her normal arms up, despite her shoulders being shattered.  From the way they are feeling, she has one good attack left in her before the arms will become unusable due to the pressure and pain that she was going to put herself through.  All the while, she would start channeling her ki, trying to regain energy to shoot one last attack.

[No Tech used, AND no charging is occurring.  I just basically have her regaining her energy to launch a KP attack next posting round.]

He would then speak about the final attack shtick being a bit cliche'd, but not so much so that it did not become worth doing. "I would probably kill you if you actually did hold back, cause I think that you would agree that holding back is boring and stupid for a final attack," Raima would admittedly say, half-joking about the killing part for holding back.  At best, she'd maim them until they were unable to move properly until they get themselves properly fixed up.

Then came a set of words from the Arcosian that continued fueling the grin that she was able to keep up throughout the fight, saying that he himself was enjoying the fight.  Then that little extra bit about respect for Raima despite being a saiyan was a little off putting, so Raima would say as well, "Well, you've been a fantastic brawling partner throughout the entire fight.  I'm still somewhat a bit miffed about your horns and my shoulders, but that's on me.  So you have my respect as a person."

She did not see this arcosian as a part of his race, nor one of his kind.  In fact, all she saw him as were a strong opponent and a respectable person, albeit a little arrogant.  All in all, he was a ni-...  Then he had to open his mouth about Raima not winning this fight.  Well, Retsu was a decent person.  Just has a complex about winning apparently, which made the saiyan woman chuckle in how fast her outlook on him changed.

That chuckle quickly turned into a grunt as she almost forgot that she was lifting up her almost useless arms, holding them still as best she could as she started channeling ki through her body, creating another set of Ki balls in each of her hands.  She only had enough strength in her body to use this attack, to use one more Chili Cannon¹.  After forming these balls, she slammed all four of them together in order to unleash her attack.

Good thing she can hold this attack with only one set of hands, as her normal ones would just slink downward and become limp, as they have finished doing their job.  Her back arms were holding the Ki Beam, which barreled straight for Retsu, an attack ready to end it all.  All the while, she would say, "EAT MY CHILI CANNON!"

[KP 2/3 ==> 0/3]

The two energy beams collided, and it was as if the world itself shook from the pressure from these two attacks.  Their green and blue ki intermingling as the two collided, Raima's smile growing even larger from the rush of this attack.  Although her shoulders were in complete pain, although she was exhausted, and although this was the end of the battle; she was going through one hell of a rush.  Adrenaline pumping through her body, the scent of blood and burnt flesh, and the air's intensity changing due to both of their pressures.  Its rare to have a good match this for the saiyan woman.

However, the beam clash was coming to a close as Retsu's side was starting to win over.  Raima attempts to push more ki into her attack, but becomes unable to...  It seems this is as far as she could go in this fight, as the Lance Cannon starts to overtake more and more of Raima's Chili Cannon, until it completely reaches the saiyan woman.  Although it did not hurt as much as the previous multiple energy blast barrage the arcosian pulled off earlier, the attack was just enough to push the saiyan woman past the line of fatigue.

Although standing for a little once the attack subsided, Raima would soon fall to her knees, her hands lying parallel on the ground.  She would look up to Retsu, her smile still unbroken on her face, as she would admit with a shaky voice, "h-heh...  Seems li-...  like you won...  after all."

She fell down on her back, as her extra set of arms would recede back into her body as she ran out of ki to maintain these extra appendages.  Once her back was touching the ground, she would move her legs in order to make herself comfortable as she laid on the ground, waiting to see what would happen.  Lying on the ground, she would regain her breath a little, but still has not enough energy to properly move on her own.

Despite it all, Raima's smile remained, and she started laughing.  Louder and louder, and until her boisterous laugh could be heard by all!  This was the feeling of defeat, a feeling she had not really felt in a long while.  And it felt good, as it shown her that she still has room to grow.  She would quickly kill off her laughter, long enough to say to Retsu, "Heheheh...  Everyone on this planet is strong.  Three people, and all of em so strong.  EARTH IS SUCH A FANTASTIC PLANET, HAHAHAHAHAAAA!"

It was a laughter of happiness, as this fight was basically the end to her introduction to the planet...  Well, not necessarily about meeting the inhabitants of this planet, but she saw enough to look at this planet and be proud to be on it.  Another round of boisterous laughter would occur, before she would calm down once more.  She would lie down in silence and look up at the calm sky, which juxtaposed the events that just occurred on the battlefield.

Now calm down, she would say to Retsu, "Yo, Lordy.  Can we spar again like this in the future.  Hell, maybe even hang out without pounding each others' faces in like 'normal people.'  Cause you do seem like a decent guy and all.  And before I forget, thanks for one hell of a brawl."
