King Kai's worried expression turned to a frown. It seemed Pieter was losing it. Failure made way to desperation, which then lead to anger. The Hunter told a story of himself, his fury seeping into his words as he wove this tale from his tribe. As he finishes the grand tale, King Kai nods somberly. He raises a finger, making it seem as if he's about to speak, when suddenly a beam of light comes from his antennae! Another set of weights would then cover Pieter; this time on his chest. He'd find it quite hard to keep himself steady now! "Not many people have gone this long without so much as a chuckle from me. I think you might be a lost cause my boy... You sure you don't wanna just give up now?" Pieter Wolfbane has been equipped with Enchanted Heavy Weights! 90% PL Reduction!

The weight went to his chest and Pieter had let it go. He just slammed against the ground and remained there, as he was told that he was the only person who went this long without making him chuckle. Pieter didn't care. He was pissed off at himself, and he didn't know how to let it go! He muttered, whilst face tilted to the side, "I'm thinking you might be right... I'm going to lay here a bit King Kai. I'll probably get going soon. Bing sent a guy here that doesn't belong..."Pieter simply closed his eyes, huffing on the ground. He heard about a way to return to the Living Realm, back to Earth. He didn't need to stay here anymore! Pieter laughed, thinking out loud, "It's kinda funny! The guy who sends me here thinks I can be a good student for a guy who sits on his little island, waiting for someone with a good spirit to come along! However, he ends up getting Karingan, a girl angrier than a typhoon, and now has this unknown guy, all of which are saiyan and human! What, did the Earth become a breeding ground for apes?"He only knew how to lash out. He never really learned to be amusing, he supposed! That's all Pieter could understand at this point. "Saiyans come looking at the planet and they think, 'You know what, that looks a like a good planet to settle down at,' and they do that! They find a partner, have children, and when work comes along, they... They..."Pieter was tired. He stopped, to reflect on what he was saying. He didn't know a damn thing! He was trying to think of something, SOMETHING, but all he could think about was just stabbing at himself! It made him ponder if he were just reflecting his thoughts off his peers, and because King Kai wasn't talking to him, he wasn't reflecting King Kai to himself? Was that what was happening? Was Pieter just reflecting emotions back to people, just so that he could be involved?! He wanted to think of something! He wanted to but he just couldn't, and it was upsetting him more and more! He was trying to follow a simple command, but he couldn't do that! "... You know what this me thinking about,"[/font] Pieter thought out loud, "Something to listen to, musically! In the tribe, we usually listen to drums and guitars playing aro- OH! There's an actual funny story!"He looked up King Kai, a smile suddenly forming on his face! He recounted, "It's another part of my life, but this happened about 2 years ago, at my brother's party for his wedding! He just got wed and we were drinking a bit, but not to the point where we were flat out drunk... Yet, but anyway! My brother calls out for the band, who'd been drinking with us, to play some music to get the night going. Each of them grab their instruments, and, of all the instruments to come out, there's this giant fish that comes out. Of all the instruments to grab, this one guy grabs a fish! We're all looking around, vexed that there's a tuna fish in his hands! He's fiddling with it, trying to tune it up, solid face on. One of my brother's friends pipes up, telling the guy, 'Why are you trying to tune a tuna fish? You can't tune a tuna fish!' Guy looks over at them and has the biggest grin on his face... It took us a moment to realize what he set us up for and we were bauling on the ground with laughter! The best part is that the guy didn't realize what he was saying, either!"Pieter was struggling to laugh, the weight of the vest making him feel his rib cage bend awkwardly at the bouncing! He was hoping King Kai would get the joke this time around... Otherwise, Pieter was going to consider hopping off the planet and waiting back at the Check In station to get sent back to the Living Realm. ( King Kai , Bing Gan , here ya go!)

King Kai glared at Pieter, a twinge of agitation boiling within, only barely hidden by his tiny sunglasses. This damn Hunter was way too much of a downer! It was getting hard to see what was so great about him.
With a mighty swing, he attempted to slap Pieter on the cheek; a strike so fierce it might just toss him onto his back! "Listen here Piet! I ain't gonna sit around all day and listen to you mope and give me your whole life story! You tell me a joke or I'll make you clean up after Bubble's for the next century!" The Kai panted heavily, his face turning a slightly pinker shade due to the frustration he felt.

King Kai ended up slapping him, and shouting at Pieter! He looked at King Kai, caught by surprise by it, before looking away for a moment. He struggled to get up, limbs fidgeting as he stood up. The hunter stared at the flush man, his gaze unwavering, as he told him, "I can't at this point. I can't stop thinking about what's happening in the living realm and thinking I should've done so much more..."He sighed. Pieter shouldn't have come here. He held up his hand, stating, "Two months. I'll be gone by then. I'm not even sure if what you'll teach me will help in the Living Realm, at this point and time."The man held up his hands, as he asked with questioning eyes, "Are we worth each other's time?"This man before King Kai was one who had been broken down, with no one to help him out. He'd been focused on trying to make amends for what he did in the living realm, and thought he had came across those that could help him. When the time came where he was trying to be someone to defend, he could not do what he was taught and believed. What could King Kai do to help a man like him? ( Bing Gan, King Kai, here you go.)

King Kai glared at the downtrodden Saiyan, his features continuing to discolor to an intimidating deep red. While most would probably pity the depressed Karinga Tribe warrior, King Kai instead felt agitation. He wasn't about to let this guy feel sorry for himself any longer.
He walked up to Pieter, and slapped the Saiyan's hands down. "What do you think you're saying?! If I didn't think my training would help, I wouldn't have even looked in your direction you numbskull!!! You need to stop looking at the past so much! You might have failed on Earth, but you can learn from your mistakes! Besides, it's not like your failures doomed the universe or anything. You're doing a lot better than most people."
He floated back a bit, eyes narrowing as he stared at the Hunter. "I don't wanna hear any more moaning and groaning about how terrible you are. There are people who have blundered much more spectacularly than you, trust me."

Pieter wasn't sure why, but he was baffled by King Kai's statement... No, his beliefs! He wanted him to learn from his mistakes, to improve himself. He jested that it wasn't as though his actions cast into motion impending doom to the hunter, which Pieter felt wasn't helping... However, King Kai brought up that others before him blundered even more than he did! "Are... Are you sure?"His uncertainty was immense, but if King Kai was serious... No, the old man had to be! "Alright... Then do you mind me asking how important the joke is to you?"( King Kai, Bing Gan, didn't really have much. It's a fairly old thread, and continuing it's gonna be a bit difficult.)

For the first time since Pieter had arrived, King Kai removed his glasses. He stared at the Hunter with cold eyes, before speaking in a deadly serious tone. "The joke is the most important part of your training. If you cannot make me laugh, then there is no possible way I can teach you."

Pieter blinked, looking at King Kai's eyes without the glasses on, his becoming red and bubbly, like he was about to laugh. "Oh my god, his eyes are tinier than peas!""Uhm... Pft... Okay then," Pieter struggled, trying to keep his laughter in, "Then uh... Hummpft-HAH!"Upon the laugh coming out, he slapped himself with one of his weighted arms, as he stated with a grin on his face, "Got a bad one for ya... And you can blame my Dad for this! We were gathering mushrooms one time, when my siblings and I were around 9 years old. We all were agonizingly bored with it, since it take a while to find some edible mushrooms nowadays. Now... While we're waiting, he says, 'You know, if the mushroom was such a fun guy, why didn't he have a party at his place?' He started howling in laughter and we didn't even know what to say to him... Do ya get it, King Kai?"( King Kai, Bing Gan)

King Kai slowly put his glasses back on, his mind working to try and understand the joke Pieter had just told. Fun Guy... Mushrooms... Party... And then it all clicked. It was one of the corniest jokes the Kai had ever heard in his entire life, and that's what made it absolutely hilarious. The laughter started out slow and quiet, but as time went on, he simply couldn't contain himself. King Kai fell onto his back, rolling back and forth as he guffawed heartily. He gasped for air as his laughter died down. He slowly took to a stand, wiping the tears from his eyes as he spoke. "Oh man... That was awful! I've never heard something so terrible in all my years! I knew you had it in you! We'll need to work on your delivery a bit, but we can save that for another time. First we need to get to your first lesson: The Kaioken!" With a deep sigh of relief, he turned away from Pieter, his eyes darting left and right as he searched for something. "Now, the Kaioken is a very powerful ability. It boosts your strength, agility, dexterity, even your perception and intelligence are increased! It works wonders when used, but you must be careful; using the Kaioken will draw power from your soul, so using it for too long will put you in a real tight spot! You'll need to master using it in short bursts to get the most out of it."As he explained this, he stuck his index finger out, and began telekinetically moving a large chunk of the golden clouds that surrounded them. He shaped the cloud into a humanoid figure, giving it more definition as he worked his magic. After a few moments, he pulled the cloud-man closer, blasting it with a bit of magic from his antennae. As the magic coated the cloud, it suddenly grew a pair of eyes, and blinked. It landed on the planet, looking around curiously as he took his first few breaths of life. The clouds eyes fell upon King Kai, and a bright smile came to his face. He spoke in a deep rumbling voice as he addressed his creator. "Ah, Master Kai. It's been quite some time since you summoned me. Is it time to train another soul?"The Kai nodded, pointing to Pieter. "Yep! Just give him a good fight, got it?" The cloud turned to Pieter, his eyes narrowing. The Saiyan seemed quite strong, but nothing he hadn't encountered before. "Before I teach you anything, I want to see how well you can do against my cloud friend here. I think you'll have an easier time with this one compared to your last test."
Cloud Man has joined the fight! Cloud's PL: 1,000,000 Offensive PL/2,000,000 Defensive PL

Upon King Kai bellowing in laughter, Pieter joined in! King Kai told him that was one of the corniest jokes he'd heard in awhile, which caused him to laugh with, "Well, ya had me thinking about a joke, and that's what came up, amongst the other bad jokes!"The laughter died down with both sighing, and the man explaining that he was going to teach him something called the Kaioken, a Soul Drawing technique that empowers the body. He wanted him to use that, in short bursts, and formed an opponent to fight against out of the clouds above! Both were familiar with one another, and seemed ready to begin! A sparring match for the hunter to go with, that Pieter felt wouldn't go so well... He'd been massively weighted down, after all! "Uh... Got 2 questions, before we begin," Pieter asked, still amused from before, "He's a bit strong, so wouldn't it be better for me to be unrestrained from these weights you gave me, King Kai? Also, how would I bring out that energy, exactly? I couldn't imagine it being like the anger I felt when I transformed before!"( King Kai, Bing Gan)

King Kai stared blankly for a moment, before slapping himself on the forehead. "Ah! Of course! I have terrible memory sometimes. Here, let me get those off ya!" His antennae thrust forwards, and the weights covering Pieter suddenly vanished. "As for how to bring out that power, I'll explain it to you as your fight goes on. It's the best way for you to learn this, after all!" The Cloud Man nodded in agreement, before settling into a defensive stance. "I offer you the first move, Saiyan. Please don't hold back."
Weights removed from Pieter Wolfbane! Get to fightin'!

The moment King Kai popped the weights off Pieter, his posture straightened up, and his spine loudly cracked with a grunt! His smile returned, as he thanked eagerly, "AH! Much better!"As he did that, King Kai told him that he'd tell him as the match went on. Pieter shrugged, before settling into his own stance, stating, "Alright, then! Let's get started."The first move was offered to Pieter, who had stepped and dipped in, extending a clawed hand at the Cloud Man's neck! He wanted to see if this guy had the part of a humanoid like Pieter did. Regardless though, Pieter would be stepping in even further, putting his leading foot forward to try and give himself some leverage against this enemy, so he could put him to the ground. This may not have been a good idea for Pieter, but it was better than not at all..! ( King Kai, Bing Gan, Cloud man's go!)

As Pieter moved forwards, the cloud moved back, narrowly avoiding the clawing swipe at his neck. The Saiyan was fast, even if he was quite weak. The Cloud jumped up, practically dancing across the sky as he attempted to flank the Hunter. Should he succeed in landing behind Pieter, he'd send a roundhouse kick to his backside, hoping to knock him prone. If his flanking attempt failed however, the cloud would instead go for a series of quick jabs, hoping to disorient the Hunter, before finishing it off with a quick over-head smack with joined fists.
Short but sweet. Your go Pieter Wolfbane!

The cloud shifted back, just avoiding the claw at his throat! This told Pieter he very much would not want be caught there. The cloud hurled back to its domain, trying to get behind him to do something! However, with what he learned just now, he decided to meet the cloud man above and tried to parry his kick to the head... A mistake on Pieter's end! He didn't anticipate the strength behind the cloud man's kick to be as strong as it was, which caused him to be hurled off the planet and onto the Snake Way's tail. He flopped a few times on the hard surface, before rolling to a stop, finding himself a stitch of pain in his arms and barely conscious. His head had been rattled badly, again, from someone vastly stronger attempting to spar him... "Why... Why do I have to keep facing these," Pieter thought to himself, remaining on the ground as he tried to recover his senses, "These overwhelming monsters! I can't seem to get away from them! Alive, or even Dead!"Pieter's aura flickered up, becoming a yellow color, before he snapped out it and told himself, "No! Keep the anger in check..."The hunter forced himself up, and floated over to the planet, landing heavily on its green surface with weakened strength. Pieter's left arm had been making some uncomfortable popping noises, loud enough for even the two to hear! Pieter didn't want to move it after that, letting it dangle at the side as he told the cloud, "Come on... Come on, let's... Let's go!"( Bing Gan, King Kai)
