The fake-out worked, as Retsu let out a grunt and got sent backwards. He skid several feet back before he caught himself. "Good.. Good!" Said Retsu. "Let that saiyan blood BOIL!" He quickly brought up his hands and began rapidly firing ki blasts at him. They were just basic blasts nothing to special mind you.
Should that hit or miss he'd then bring up his hand. "Lets see just how good you are shall we?" He laughed before his hand covered itself in a blue energy. "LANCE CANNON!" He shouted before firing a rather large blue beam in his direction.

Kale's eyed widened in anticipation. The bombardment of ki blasts were closing in, and fast. Each orb of light lit up the area like fireworks. The Saiyan grunted in frustration, and raised his left hand toward the incoming balls of energy. He unleashed his own flurry of bright blue ki blasts, hoping to have them collide with the ones that Lord Retsu had fired off. He at least wanted to intercept any that were bound to collide into him.
The Saiyan's tactic actually paid off! Kale's own ki blasts crashed into some of Lord Restu's, creating mid-air explosions of light and smoke. However, Kale still missed a few as he had intended to. Some of the Arcosian's ki blasts shocked the ground around Kale, but he did not budge out of sheer force of will. As the dust began to settle, Lord Retsu was charging his Lance Cannon attack. "Damn it!" the Saiyan shouted in defiance. His only hope would be to fire off his own beam attack. He had never used it on anyone before. After sliding his right leg back, Kale reached back with open right hand. "Haaaa..." A teal ball of energy commenced to generate within his open palm. There was no chance that he would be able to dodge Lord Retsu's attack. This was his only hope. The ball grew in size, until it had the same girth of a basketball.
"TSUNAMI CANNON!"
The Saiyan fighter forcefully pushed his hand forward while twisting his arm, while simultaneously positioning his hand as he would give a high-five. As he did, a beautiful bright energy beam was discharged from his palm. A teal light shined brilliantly around the immediate area. The most that Kale hoped to achieve was to at least hold off Retsu's attack and soften the blow, if that would be at all possible. His left hand was clenched tightly and his teeth were clenched as his blood boiled.

Retsu hadn't expected him to counter his ki blasts with his own. Most people just kind of dodged them. He smiled however, when Kale began charging his own Ki attack. As the two attacks collided there was an intense struggle between the two attacks. The ground around the collision cratered in an instant, and arcs of energy shot off the two of them, ripping up at the ground when it touched it. pebbles and debris began to hover off the ground.
It seemed Tsunami Cannon was winning the collision, as it pushed back against the Lance Cannon. Retsu's smile only grew as he flexed his hand, sending a pulse of Ki down the length of the attack, which quickly over took the Tsunami Cannon and rushed towards Kale.
"An admirable attempt! But ultimately futile!" said Retsu.
Tsunami Cannon 1,300 PL vs 4093 PL Lance Cannon = Lance Cannon over takes Tsunami Cannon for a total of 2793 PL damage

For a moment, Kale believed that he was actually going to overpower the Arcosian's energy attack with his own! His heart raced with excitement while the two beams struggled and pushed against each other. And although the Tusnami Cannon was struggling to overpower Lord Retsu's Lance Cannon, it was short-lived. Kale was overtaken by concern when the Lance Cannon's blue energy beam vanquished the opposing attack, now barreling down on Kale. As a last-ditch effort, Kale quickly crossed his forearms in front of his face to take the attack head-on.
The shimmering, blinding light overtook the Saiyan. His whole body burned from the searing pain of the ki wave, causing Kale to scream out in agony. Finally, Retsu's attack faded. The light faded and the mixture of smoke, dust, and debris settled. It was apparent that he had skidded back a good distance from the onslaught. His dark-teal shirt was cut up. His body was blemished by a few bruises. He stood there, panting slowly to catch his breath. But instead of an expression of fear like one would expect, there was an expression of tenacity.
The Saiyan smirked, and then chuckled. Kale now returned to a normal posture. "I gotta hand it to you. You're strong." He offered a warm, respectful smile. "I know when I'm outclassed. The victory belongs to you, Lord Retsu." Kale now began to walk forward until he was a pace away from the Arcosian. Now that he was within arm's reach, Kale outstretched his right as a friendly gesture so that he could initiate a handshake. "Thank you for the experience."

Retsu lowered his smoking hand after his attack hit. He chuckled to himself softly and made his way towards the saiyan. He however stopped and blinked lightly when he conceded victory. "S-so soon?" He asked a bit surprised. He frowned. "That's a shame. I was hoping for a bit more fun." He shrugged and continued towards Kale. He'd meet Kale half way and look at his hand, before taking his hand and shaking it.
"Well you may not have one, but you certainly have that passion that most saiyans do." He looked him over before bringing a hand up. He'd flick the saiyan in the head. "But you clearly have been slacking. If you want to protect the people you love you'll have to train hard and grow stronger." He pulled his hand away from Kale's before crossing his arms.
He frowned lightly. "Tell me this time. Is your tail a weakness? Do you lose all your strength when someone grabs hold of it?" He asked. "Because if so... I could teach you how to blow past that weakness." He smiled, his own tail swaying about behind him. "I have to admit I rather like your tenacity. If you had been one of my soldiers no doubt you would have been very strong...."

Kale sighed softly as he rubbed his forehead after Retsu had flicked it. Regardless, the Arcosian's praise brought a smile to his face. "Heh, yeah. You have a point." he responded. "It's obvious to me now that I need to train a lot harder to actually stand a chance if there are strong fighters like you in the universe." the warrior continued to smile as he relaxed his hand back at his side. "And I'm sorry to cut this fight short. I'd honestly like to keep going, but I want to wait until you don't have to hold back." a smirk now creased at Kale's lips. "It's no fun if I can't fight you at your full power."
Once again, the subject of Kale's tail came up into the conversation. "You are correct. My tail is a weakness." he looked down to his tail as he grabbed the base of the tip in order to get a better look at it. Kale returned his attention to Lord Retsu. "Really? You would be willing to teach me?" asked the hopeful fighter. The compliment only made him feel a bit giddy. "Oh, well thanks! I'm glad that you think so!"

"Then you better train your heart out... As it stands this is only one tenth of my power. And Even then I'm not as strong as others Of my own species. Some might even consider me weak." He shrugged. "As it is now I could kill you with a single attack in my second form. And so far I have three forms."
He chuckled softly. " I can teach you. Its something I know saiyans can over come through training, and seeing as my tail is a weapon, I can train you to use yours in the same way." He smiled. "However in doing so I would like you to consider joining my army. As of now there's no one in it, but I plan on recruiting more so that I may once again have a sizeable force at my command. Can't exactly be a Lord without men to serve under you."
He offered his hand. "What do you say?"

The Arcosian's proposition abruptly changed Kale's mood from intrigued, to uncertain. The smile that previously adorned his face turned into a more serious countenance. "Oh." he paused. "Well, out of deepest respects to you, Lord Retsu..." the Saiyan would now choose his words very carefully so that he could not insult the Lord. "I must decline your offer." The last thing that he wanted to do was to make Retsu angry. Especially with the wide gap in power between the two.
"I've never wanted to be a soldier even growing up on Planet Vegeta." Kale began to explain. "The only reason I came to Earth in the first place is because I was drafted by the SSE. I was raised to understand that because you have strength, that doesn't mean you should use it for personal gain. My goal is to become strong enough to protect people. Not to harm them." Kale prayed to the gods that his words would not incur the wrath of the Lord of the Arcosian Empire.

The Arcosian noted his change in expression. He listened to his rejection and then to his reasons why. "That's alright. I didn't say you had to join. I merely asked that you considered joining. The offer will still stand regardless. I can and will still teach you how to master your tail and turn it into a weapon like mine."
He nodded. "Its good that you aren't easily swayed from your wishes." He smiled once more and looked up to the sky. " After all its a big universe out there. If you want to defend people you have to train hard. There are beings out there, thousands of times stronger than me." He looked back to him. "Besides. I could use at training partner."

Kale took Retsu's words into consideration. a wave of relief washed over him when the Arcosian spoke words of reassurance. "I certainly appreciate the offer, Lord Retsu." Kale then placed his fists against his hips so that he could shift into a more casual stance. A soft chuckle passed his lips. "I wouldn't mind being a training partner of yours. But if I'm required to be a member of your army to train with you, then it looks like I'll be out of luck."
After offering a soft smile to the Arcosian, Kale made a thumbs-up gesture toward Retsu with his left hand. "Don't worry. I will start training extra hard so that I can become more powerful. And when I do, I can be a better match for you."

Retsu nodded to Kale. "Good. I don't expect you to join my army, but I will train you." He looked up to the sky. "Tell you what. I have some things that need doing. I'll go do them in a timely fashion, and be back here in one week. When I return we can start your Tail training. How does that sound?"
His aura appeared around him and he began to lift off the ground. "I'm going to be leaving shortly so give me your answer quickly."

Kale smiled, and nodded in reply to Retsu's demand. "Alright. I'll meet you back here in one week. You have yourself a training partner!" Excitement was now beginning to well up inside of the Saiyan. "I'll train as hard as I can until then. You have my word."

Retsu smiled at his enthusiasm before nodding. " Alright. See you in a week! Train hard Kale!"
With that he turned and zoomed off, leaving the immediate area and soon disappearing from sight.

Kale looked on in contentment as his new Arcosian acquaintance rocketed away in a burst of the errands he had mentioned before. The invitation to join the Lord's army was a tempting one to say the least. Although the chance to become stronger in a quicker manner was a tantalizing factor, Kale remained true to himself. He didn't need a quick and easy path to power. With hard work and dedication, the Saiyan of Earth would rise up the ranks as a protector nonetheless. But to be fair, it wouldn't hurt to have access to some training weights or a gravity chamber. The more that Kale thought about it, a gravity chamber would do nicely.
Lord Retsu's words echoed within the mind of the Saiyan known as Kale. He continued to watch the sky with eager eyes long after the Arcosian Lord left the scene. "Stronger fighters than Lord Retsu." He trailed off as he spoke to himself. The battle between himself and the Arcosian was certainly an eye-opener. Here he was, having a personal goal to become strong enough in order to protect people in the universe. And yet, here he was at a measly Power Level of four thousand. While this fact may have been daunting to your average person, this was not the case for Kale. No, it was a driving force that made Kale even more determined to get stronger more than ever before.
"One week, Lord Retsu. By then I will be much stronger than before. That is a promise I intend to keep."
Thread is complete. I would like to receive zenni, and Retsu would like Power Level, please!
