Akio had mentioned what his name meant, complimenting Pieter's surname as well. He explained that Akio meant Hero in his mother's tongue. He then asked another question about saiyans. Specifically about politics and hierarchy. Was he trying to imply something with all these questions? Pieter responded, "Probably. However, he only tended to remind my siblings and I about honor and the thrill of battle..."
Pieter was going to ask him why he was asking so much about saiyans, but he was interrupted by Akio's note of an onlooker. Pieter had grown accustomed to there being onlookers. On some occasions, though he honestly felt them to be rare, he and some of the tribesman would take their more civilized neighbors on hunts, as well as guidance through the forest, as some could not fly and didn't have their flying contraptions. During these times, he and the tribesman would baffle the civilians and fellow hunters with a display of power that was not meant for dazzling. One time, a hunter had been so distracted that a saber tooth had snuck up on him while the tribesman stalked and distracted a large reptilian beast. Pieter managed to rescue the hunter from the ordeal and they jested about it that same night in the village.
Akio had wanted Pieter to attack him, so Pieter agreed to the offer. He charged forward, ki blast in his right hand. As a hunter, Pieter was taught how to draw out a fight for the right moment and, when that moment came, he had to be swifter than lightning. Drawing out a fight further than moment would be catastrophic for himself and his fellow hunters. Being that he was fighting alone, he'd have to be extra careful on how this is done. Pieter landed a couple meters away, skidding across the grassy landscape up to Akio. He lifted the ki ball up and sent into forward, aiming at Akio's hip. A strike here would stagger his opponent, causing his joints to lock up. In this moment, Pieter would be able to strike at the other joints, to weaken his opponent further.
In his mind, Pieter held his question. Why was Akio asking about the saiyans so much? Was he one of those 'students' at one of those colleges? Most likely not. A student wouldn't ask someone who's a mere stranger to spar himself. Who exactly was this Akio Callahan?

The young half-human nods. Yes, he could very much understand about reinforcing the glory and honor of combat, though Callahan had no need of lessons to teach him thus; he had felt it in his very blood when he had first sparred with his master, Shen. The thrill, heart pounding in his ears like ancient war drums, the ferocity and beauty of the violent tango. That was combat.
Pieter initiated combat swiftly, but Akio held an advantage - the native hybrid thought Akio was a human. Maybe he suspected Akio had some skill, but Callahan deep down knew that Pieter truly expected the martial artist to be within human levels of skill and endurance.
Still, his opponent wasn't holding back, and for that the bastard-borne was very grateful. Pieter closed distance quickly, releasing a basic blast of crackling energy. Akio focuses, and in one swift stroke slaps it downwards with the arm tucked towards his stomach.
With the other he would punch outwards, aiming a nimble blow towards Pieter's gut.
The hunter had never hunted prey like this.

Houri stared in amazement as Pieter took charge of the combat before her, ran at Akio full speed, and fired a basic blast of energy at Akio. This was the power of a warrior, but Akio seemed to just slap it down with a powerful strike. His next attack being a strong punch faster than could follow with her eyes because it was above her basic power level and she did not have the ki sensing training needed to really watch fast attacks. She sighed and wondered if she could get in on the fight so she shouted as loud as she could, "Hey, are you knuckle heads okay with a lady fighting you?"
She hated to be rude, but she did not know their names and the way they were acting was typical of most martial artists. Punching, kicking, and bashing the stuff out of each other just to prove superiority. It was not much different than her own mother's ways nearly four hundred years ago, or so her own people had told her. Sadly, she did not like to stay in contact with them much since she did not want Florians learning of her true heritage. Being the daughter of their history's strongest most insane female warrior would not do well for her considering she would rather fight for the side of justice.

Pieter's blast would be knocked away, from his hand, with a punch following up. It was an expected attack, but Pieter's maneuvering was limited, having bum-rushed Akio at a good speed. To minimize the damage, Pieter quickly spun to the side like a football player, to strike at Akio from the side. Pieter couldn't necessarily gauge his opponent's strength, but he could judge that Akio was stronger than him.
"The young sure are strong out here," Pieter thought to himself, "But I can get the upper hand on him, even brie-"[/i]
Pieter's thoughts and actions were interrupted as the lady near by shouted, calling both Pieter and Akio knuckle heads as she asked about joining them in their spar. Pieter and Akio had just started, yet it seemed that they had attracted a new partner altogether. He didn't really notice her appearance until now. She looked more like a foreign dancer, than she did a fighter. However, dancers tended to prove being very nimble and skilled at fighting because of their trade. Pieter looked to Akio, asking, "Want to let her join? We did just start, after all, so there shouldn't be reason."

Akio twists in response to his foe's counter assault, boots shifting the mud and grass beneath his fist as he catches the fist with a 'wock' into his open palm. His fingers close around his opponent's hand... when he hears the question.
He jumps backwards in a back-flip, gaining distance between himself and Pieter once again. He then turns to face her. She was lithe, but he sensed a certain strength about her. He could also feel that she wasn't quite human, like Pieter and himself, but their certainly wasn't the feel of a saiyan ki about her. No, her ki almost felt like... an embodiment of nature, of a sprawling rainforest all stored up inside her. He smiles.
"If you can keep up, madame, then feel free!" He boasts, sliding back into a loose defensive orientation, Pieter on his right, Houri on his left.

Houri smiled at the two and said, "Okay, I'll try. But first let me try out a few energy attacks on you two." She look at Pieter on her right and Akio on her left and charged green energy into both her hands. Two blasts of winds directly at both the fighters before her in an attempt to hit them at the same time.
"This is my Oxygen Blast, O3! I would suggest dodging this because if you two get hit and stand next to each other, well, you're going to find out!" She laughed happily as the air churned from their palms sped towards her sparring partners like fine bullets. They would not hurt too much, but this variant of her normal attack would give them trouble when they moved around.

Pieter's attack was blocked instinctually, with his hand being held by Akio, before being released as Akio hopped away. The half-breed was surprised by the quick response to block him! Akio's clearly had some education in fighting! It might've been possible that Akio wasn't feeling challenged enough by Pieter, so this acceptance may have been increasing the ante for a challenge. Pieter readied himself, as he told the girl, "Well, you've got my agreement here as well!"
The girl asked to try some energy attacks on them first. Pieter shrugged, as he told her, "Fine by me. If we're going that route, I'll be testing a little something as well with ya."
Pieter held out his right hand, growling quickly as energy poured into his hand. It began to take shape, forming a golden and sharp looking axe. This had been his Tomahawk Slasher technique, a technique designed to create a weapon with only his energy. It was a manifestation of the hunter's ability to kill. Whatever was being charged by the girl would be met with his Tomahawk Slasher!
The girl's blast of energy flew faster than the fastest arrow, barely leaving Pieter time to react! He slashed at the blast, the two energy attacks clashing. He roared, causing the blast to explode, as well as the axe to disappear. The smoke would clear to show Pieter unscathed, but panting in a kneeling pose. He looked up and between the two, to see what would be coming next. Being targeted by two beings with a good amount of strength was something that Pieter would not want to deal with. In truth, Pieter didn't know how strong these two were. It was a technique he hadn't learned to perform, despite being a hunter. While Pieter was a successful hunter, that trait was something that prevented many of his kills and captures from escape. Sometimes, they would flee through the air, then dive down into some area that Pieter couldn't track the target in.
(Tomahawk Slasher- Tier 1 used Once- Not charged. Also, going under the assumption that we don't have the innate ability to sense energy. Message me if I'm wrong about this.)

Post by Shivera Chelle on Jan 22, 2014 0:26:01 GMT
It seemed that the planet had little interest in her small ship approaching the northern section of Earth. They were in for a surprise when her entire army showed up... if those idiots didn't get their coordinates crossed and end up on Planet 419 again.
Nobody goes to Planet 419.
Chelle however, made it to Earth in her fathers old ship. It had a bad record of crash landing, but there was no way that the Overlord of the Acrosian Race would ever...
CRASH!
Straight nose dive into a plateau. Chelle kicked the side door off the craft (that miraculously didn't explode on impact, especially for it's age) and cursed herself for firstly not checking for inverted controls, and secondly, being to stubborn to take a more modern craft instead. She quickly scanned the area, ready to end the existence of any who witnessed her embarrassment.
There were none. It never happened... hoodlums must have wrecked it while she was out.
She knew a little about ships thanks to her father, though the knowledge was unwillingly transferred to her over the supper table. She would need parts. Parts came from a town. She was smart enough to bring a handful of Zeni, she would have to act somewhat peaceful for now to get a lay of the land. She could always get her money back later when she took over, so spending a little would be no issue.
Just stay away from the mall, she thought.
She straightened up and blasted off into the direction of a cluster of energies.
----------------------------------------
On her way, she sensed stronger powers in the distance. A battle? A good chance to observe the caliber of warrior this rock had managed to produce. She came upon the scene just outside a city and floated overhead far enough to see them. After observing the strange creatures, she decided to make herself known.
"Hello down there, random peons of planet Earth! Do you happen to speak the Universal Language!? It would be rather convenient, and make being here less agonizing if you do!" She boomed in a very imposing tone from above. She wore her shining black armor with the red cape, small horns curved back in her first form. She stood an impressive five foot three, tall in this form for an Acrosian.
Would they even take her seriously? For Frieza's sake, they'd better not shout "Gah! An Alien!" or something like that.

Akio grins as Senda charges her attack. So it sounded like her blasts had an intriguing side-effect... he almost wanted to let them hit to find out, to store that tid-bit of information in his head. Akio had an almost obsessive habit of storing battle information in his mind, so he could whip it out at a later date. He needed to know how to counter everything, how to best everyone. It was in the competitive nature of saiyan-kind that boiled and churned in his blood, a hidden beast of war.
But Pieter wasn't going to let it hit him, and so he wouldn't have been able to find out the name of the technique anyway, so our protagonist shifts into action. He does, however, note Pieter's own technique, the hunter being capable of forming a bladed weapon using only his ki. That could be deadly if used right, the young breed notes it, entering the information into his mind much like a tidbit of information typed into Wikipedia, to be reviewed at a later date.
But our hero simple slides to his knees, then lower, almost limboing so that the blasts fizz harmlessly above his head. He feels a slight gust of wind from the compressed air, realising that he would have been knocked around if they'd hit him.
As he jumps up, another voice grabs his attention...
He twists around.
Gah! An alien...
He shivers. There was something slightly grotesque about this woman's form, her shortness of stature combined with the almost gargoylian composure of her skin and horns. Still, no reason to be impolite, despite yet ANOTHER interruption to his fight.
"I suppose there's a reason why it's called Universal!"

Houri was surprised to find her green energy blast easily cut in two by Pieter's mighty tomahawk. It annoyed her a great deal her attack had not hit, but something else annoyed her more today than that as she heard someone shout at them and Akio jump and twist around in fear. She looked up into the sky with her blue eyes and grit her teeth at some white skinned reptilian woman with horns that curled down to the back of her shoulders.
Houri's body shook a little in fear. She had a strong feeling in her heart she knew what race she was gazing at especially when she noticed the long, smooth tail. She clenched her fists and shouted, "Hey you two, I haven't known you long, but you two need to get back. Did you not here what she just said 'It would be rather convenient, and make being here less agonizing if you do!' She's an awful Arcosian I can just feel it in my bones!"
The young woman pooled her green energy and created a ring of green air in front of her a second later, which she immediately fired up in a forty degree arc at the Changeling before her, once ready. It was not an attack with any true sense of power behind it due to Houri's average power level in her current base, yet she shouted, "Oxygen Blast!" as she fired it in hopes of scaring her would be attacker away from Pieter and Akio.

A disheartened looked shown up on Houri's face after Pieter and Akio beat the attack she sent. The attacks had a good amount of force behind them, so she had to be weary. Pieter was going to charge forward when a new voice appeared, asking if they understood her in a rude sort of tone. Akio had turned around, while Houri had a frightened look on her face. Pieter turned around, to see a reptilian-esque being. Horns protruded from the head, with strange looking armor covering its torso. It had a feminine appearance, suggesting the humanoid alien was a female. Whatever caused her to spur to action, Pieter couldn't say exactly, but an attack was sent at the Acrosian. Pieter was keen enough to hear what the woman had asked, causing him to react and shout, "HOLD IT!"
Pieter jumped in front of the attack, roaring out loud as he punched the attack into the ground, causing it to explode! He breathed heavily, as shouted, "She wanted to know if we understood her! Not... Whatever it was that you thought right off the bat!"
He shook his hand, his hand having gone numb from punching the powerful attack. He stated, "Alright, it's about time we learn each other's names before someone starts eating the dirt! And, with your actions to this person, you'd be the first to introduce yourself! I was really looking forward to our spar before you ended up freaking out over this lizard-creature you call an Acrosian..."
He paused and turned towards the feminine creature, to tell her, "And while people are sparring, it's best not to be in range. My apologies on the comment I just made, but I know not of your kind. Since you're the reason for causing this person to go a bit frantic, it's fair to say you should introduce yourself as well! Now... I am Pieter Wolfbane. You two are, before you get at each other's throats?"

"I suppose there's a reason why it's called Universal!" one man yelled at her. She rolled her eyes.
"Considering I'm this for out in who-knows what galaxy, I had to be sure! Now please, agitate me more! It's such a great idea--"
Then the woman off a ways from them decided she didn't like the feeling she was getting from Chelle. Funny thing was, she was the one with the right idea, and she would likely have been the first to be killed this day.
"Oxygen Blast!"
"The what blast!?"
A sudden blast of green energy is what it was. She threw up a hand, about to return fire when there was another shout, and a large man with one of those strange tails intervened, defecting the attack for her. She flinched back, thinking What the hell!? as he began to try and mediate the situation, almost demanding that the group introduce themselves to eachother.
She would normally introduce herself by raining death on them all at this point... but there was no point in starting the war just yet. She had no strategy in place yet, her army was behind still... she needed to just stay calm and deal with this nonsense before her.
She took the moment to be the next to introduce herself. After all, her name was the only one that really counted.
"I can not believe you people have no knowledge of me or my species? I am Lady Shivera Chelle, Overlord of planet Acrose. We pride ourselves as the most powerful race in this entire universe, renowned as being the most technologically advanced, and are undoubtedly the most feared force to exist."
She smiled.
"I am capable of obliterating entire planets... with just one finger."
She put a hand on one hip, holding a finger pointing up as she spoke. No... she never tried it quite yet. But others like her have done it. She didn't feel much like demonstrating right now either... this planet was quite nice, and would sell for a fortune! She awaited the others to introduce themselves, taking note of this Pieter individual.
So far, none of them made her good list. One was a smart mouth, one was annoyingly discharging a perfectly good fight, and one went and shot at her without stating a good reason. Granted Chelle would have done a couple of those things herself, she didn't believe that she should receive such poor treatment herself.

Akio groans as Houri prepares to fire her special ki wave at the being, knowing her logic was flawed in just about every respect. Shivera had made no move as of yet to the hostile, though her tone was dry and contemptuous enough for the halfbred to be wary. Houri had misinterpreted Chelle's sentence as threatening, and Callahan supposed it was, but only in her use of language. Perhaps Senda knew something about these Arcosians that would have made Akio as wary, but telling Aki and Pieter to get back was folly - they were both stronger, as witnessed by Pieter taking the attack head-on.
The other hybrid knocked the attack to the ground deftly, and Callahan noted how it pushed the ground around it with some force before fizzling away. So it wasn't primed to detonate then, or at least not this version. He stored the knowledge away with the savoury smile of a healthy obsessive. And the act if pushing against the force had hurt Pieter, despite power differences.
The cocky Crane grinned as Pieter lamented the interruption if their battle once again by these two beings, establishing that they had to sort something out. Akio himself was growing increasingly bored with idle chatter, almost willing to suggest that him and Pieter head off somewhere to continue their fight in peace, and not in pieces if Houri was right about this Shivera, who was now announcing herself with some political title that was increasingly irrelevant to the dance if combat. The only noteworthy phrase was the addition of being able to destroy a world with one finger... A boldly preposterous claim, unless her true power was masterfully hidden. Which it could well be.
Most powerful race in the universe? Tripe. Callahan could scarcely believe that one held any form of genetically-inclined superiority to another. It was all about the work put in.
"Alrighty overlady overlord, I'm gonna have to apologise for my acquaintance here, she musta get a little overexcited at the presence if her Grace." He grins, veiling his defensive stance and worry with false confidence. He then decides to use his second name... "My name is Tsuyei Hiruen, half-Saiyan."
He glances at Pieter, wondering if he should find a flicker of recognition in his eyes, before turning back to Shivera. If you're here for the tournament, I hope to meet you in the arena. For now though, I'd like to finish my fight with Wolfbane, so pleases try not to blast this planet to dust for a few more minutes?" He was coming off ruder than he meant to sound, acting jokingly. But, if Lady Shivera decided to fight, Callahan would relish the opportunity.

Houri took a step back in embarrassment. Pieter had already stepped in front of her and stopped her attack by this point, wasting a perfectly good opportunity to attack an evil creature, all Arcosians were bad whether good or evil. This she knew because her people had once told her way in the past of stories of how her mother was originally part of an Earth defense force that fell through when faced by such threats as the one she clearly saw before her. Sadly, these two knuckle heads felt like talking with the Arcosian in front of them rather than fighting her. She could not blame them since the lady seemed rather prideful to the fact she could kill them all and destroy the planet with a single digit. She even mockingly demonstrated it by holding up just one finger in front of them all.
Houri, at this point, could not help but bow before Shivera. It almost seemed like she might obliterate their planet if she did not follow Pieter's advice and Akio's quick, respectful words. So she got on her knees and did so. She hoped not to do it again since the thirteen year old did not like this elder woman much. Her blond hair covered her face though and hid this slight dissatisfaction from view.
"I-I am sorry," she uttered, "your kind though, from what I know of them historically, are evil and I guess now that I think about it I would rather not have you destroying the place since I would have nowhere else to go. My planet was a place put into ruin by my own mother after she went crazy." Then she raised her head and smiled weakly at the Arcosian without any regrets.

Introductions were being made, at the least. Progress to neutral ground always started with the introduction of separate parties that showed no ill will towards the other. The Acrosian introduced herself in a shocked and pompous manner as Overlord of the Planet Acrose, Shivera Chelle. She then proceeded to flaunt about how her species was the superior race in the universe, as if it mattered deeply to the people before them. Well, to the girl that attacked the Acrosian, it seemed to have mattered, as she was bowing and smiling weakly. To Pieter, though, he was not impressed. To him, they were only big words.
Akio's statement, though, actually attracted Pieter's attention. Akio introduced himself as not Akio Callahan, but as a different name altogether! A name that Pieter could barely remember from his father: Hiruen. Pieter remembered two things about the name, the first being was that they were some sort of royal blood. The other was to show respect to them, for they were known to be stronger as well. To the introduction, Pieter rose his eyebrow with intrigue. If this was his real name, why was he concealing it? Did he not want to be found for some reason?
Aki- Tsuyei proceeded to tell the Acrosian that if she was here for the tournament, he was hoping to face her in it. After that, he stated he wished to finish his spar with Pieter without any sort of interruptions. Pieter agreed, telling them, "I would most certainly like this sparring match to continue. If you wouldn't mind, maneto, do not seek blood. Instead, rest... Now, where were we, Tsuyei?"
Pieter readied himself, focus now entirely on Akio. There were answers that he needed to find out from this person... He even stated that he was half-saiyan as well. If that was the case, where was his tail? Had it been removed at some point, or was he among those that were born with none and never grew one? Pieter was going to find these answers out at some point, but for now, he would enjoy his match with Akio. Pieter charged forward at Akio, not giving a smidget of thought about the two women at the moment. He was not going to give this possible royal-blooded half-saiyan diverted attention, if it turned out to be the case! The tribal saiyan would unleash several open palmed strikes aimed at Tsuyei's joints.
