20) After a quick pose and the victory tune sounding out, Seri headed inside and sat herself down again. It took a bit of a chunk of energy out of her, that did. She'd probably need a bit of a rest if she wanted to be in tip-top condition for... well, whatever she needed to do next.

Couric stepped into the dojo, eyes widening as a burst of ki rushed through the air towards him, the young Saiyan leaning back just enough to have it fly over his head. He glanced up, shocked that he had been attacked for just entering the training hall. The Saiyan who had fired it just smirked, turning back to the other they had been sparring with when they fired the attack.

An explosion sounded behind him, the teen turning around as quickly as he could to see the energy attack had hit a random bystander, exploding and send them flying through a nearby building. Couric gulped, realizing that that could have been him if he hadn't managed to lean back before it connected. /This place....the people in Hercule City would be having psychotic episodes every second if they were here.../

Couric stepped further into the dojo, noticing a few of the warriors who were training had turned to look towards him, glaring at the teen for a second before returning to their own activities.
/They all have tails...Just like mine.../ He realized, though that wasn't enough to completely confirm whether or not he was a Saiyan. And he was sure if he asked, he'd probably get punched through a wall.

/Maybe there's some other way I can find out if I'm definitely a Saiyan.../ He considered, rubbing his chin as he glanced around the area, only to catch sight of another energy attack being flung towards him.
/SHIT!/ He reacted as quickly as he could to stop the attack from hitting him...Unfortunately, that was punching the damn orb of energy.

The attack clashed against Couric's fist for a second, the teen's fist edging it out in terms of power, sending it flying into a nearby wall. The ki connected with the wood and immediately exploded, though it had left a good burn on its target's knuckles, said Saiyan wincing a bit.
/I'm going to have to play dodge the whole time I'm here, aren't I?/

Taking a deep breath and ignoring the throbbing pain in his knuckles, Couric calmed his mind.
/I just need to pay attention to my settings...and that'll keep me from getting a blast to the face../ He told himself, noticing that a few of the Saiyans were having a bit of a laugh at his expense. /Great..../

/I wonder if there's anyone here who would actually be willing to teach me a technique without requiring a fight to the death.../ A bit of blood squirted onto the wall from a gash in one of the Saiyan's skulls, serving as a good enough answer to that question. Rather convenient, albeit a tad disturbing. The Saiyan who had hit the other hard enough to make him bleed like that moving on to fight someone else.

"Foreigner." A tough, but feminine voice behind him spoke, Couric turning his head ever so slightly to check just who was standing behind him. All he saw was a gloved fist on path towards his face, the teen just barely managing to dodge by shifting his head to the side.
/Looks like I probably won't get a choice in the matter.../ He frowned, turning completely to face the one who had approached.

Couric came face to face with a girl about his age, her dark brown pupils burning with a fire that he himself had never seen before. Her hair of the same color spiked upwards, though gravity seemed to be affecting it as it seemed to lean towards the ground. Her expression seemed to be set into a permanent scowl, though she probably did smirk every so often when she was kicking the shit out of some poor bastard.
No standard Saiyan armor for this girl, a dark bluish-gray tank top being the only thing she wore to cover her torso. Instead of spandex, she wore what seemed to be the pants section of a gi, those a dark blue, obviously having been worn before.
"Another fluke, huh? Guess that's good luck for you since that punch would've torn right through your skull."

"Fluke? Maybe...But if you hadn't spoke, I probably wouldn't have dodged." He replied, shifting into the same fighting stance that he had used when he faced Julia on Korin's tower. All the while, something seemed off to him...as though, he had faced this girl before or knew her from somewhere.
A 'hmph' followed and the female Saiyan charged Couric.

Couric had honestly moved as best as he could to try to defend himlself, but as soon as that woman started going, she seemed to clear the gap in space between them near instantly. Her fist smashed into Couric's stomach, sending the teen skidding backwards, grasping his stomach with one hand while his other reached out to fire three bursts of ki.

Shifting to the side, her expression unchanging as she evaded the bursts of energy, she took after Couric again, clenching her fist as though she were going to punch him. And that had been when he realized she was just faking him out. She leaped up, bringing her right leg up as she turned to kick her fellow Saiyan right in the cheek. Couric's right hand shot up, grabbing a hold of her ankle, his left following as he turned to throw her towards the wall.

Despite the throw, the girl continued in her spin, stopping when she faced Couric, her own hands drawn up as a spark of energy crackled around them, firing off a large burst of ki.
/Shit!/ He drew his hands up in a cross defense, the attack exploding upon impact, causing him to skid back from the force of the attack. /She doesn't waste a moment, does she?/ He asked himself, his heart pumping pretty damn fast already.

Firing the attack had quicked the pace at which she was moving through the air towards the wall though that didn't matter at all to her. She could tell that attack of her's had hurt well enough despite the fact it was blocked. she drew a hand back, bending her legs so her feet would aid in softening the impact with the wall.
Couric's arms had been burnt pretty nicely by that burst of energy, sending pain throughout them, though it wasn't anything he couldn't withstand. He pushed forward, hoping to do as she had and close to gap before she reached the ground.

She had expected this, evident by the way she smirked as she slid down the wall, watching her opponent rush towards her. Couric's fist clenched, ready to hit her as hard as he could right in the face, however...the female Saiyan just laughed and pushed off the wall with a quick burst of energy, bringing her knee up so it would hit Couric right in the nose, possibly breaking it.

Couric managed to turn his head just in time, realizing that a knee to cheek was better than a knee to the nose since the latter would cause excruciating pain. He stumbled backwards, a bit of blood dripping from the edge of his lips, though those were curved upwards instead of down. He was actually smiling a little despite the pain and the fact he was losing.
/Fun...This is really fun../ He hadn't realized yet that the other Saiyans in the dojo had stopped to watch the fight for some odd reason.

"You seem to be having fun for someone who's such a miserable fighter." She was mocking him, wanting her opponent to get pissed off so she could completely humiliate him. But instead, as though he were a Saiyan, he was enjoying the fight. She didn't quite understand it, until she noticed a tail had slipped out from underneath his red sash/belt/whatever you call it. Her eyes widened for a split second, returning to disinterest before anyone else could notice.
"Heh. I'm just getting started!" Couric shot back, adrenaline pumping through his system.

"If you're just getting started..." She began, shifting into a completely offensive fighting style, one that almost looked as though she didn't believe it was possible for someone to actually hit her before she pounded them into the ground. "Then make it seem like you're making an effort!"
Couric may not have realized it, but something had triggered in his mind as though he had known it through his life, a dark green aura outlining his body.

Couric launched himself towards his foe, speed suddenly increasing, a bit of shock visible in the girl's expression. He punched towards her face, the glow disappearing once the punch had connected, a bit of blood landing upon his knuckles. She stumbled back, grasping her jaw where the fist had connected, a familiar feeling greeting the gloved hand; pain.

"Hmph...So you can actually can hit hard if you manage to land a hit..." She began, seemingly complimenting her opponent. "But someone like you could never actually manage to land a hit without using something to catch them off guard." She turned away, heading for the door, leaving a confused Couric behind.
He blinked before deciding to follow her example and leave, the greatest feeling of deja vu tugging at the back of his mind. /Have I met her somewhere...? And where exactly did that light come from...?
It'd be a few minutes, but Couric would realize he had used his own to ki to increase his speed and power temporarily, having picked up a technique without realizing it. And so he moved to head for the door, but decided against it for the moment
OOC: FINAL IMPACT GET.

"Maybe I should stick around here for a bit longer...I could probably get a decent bit more sparring done..." Couric muttered, the pain from his own wounds having mostly gone away. He was a bit bruized up, but he'd be fine, ready to fight again if anyone decided to challenge him. /Though I should get heading back to Earth.../

Stepping in to the dojo after a fair while from his fight with Seri, Cajabe has returned. "Now I need a physical attack!" Still feeling the odd ache in his body, but he ignores it.

Couric blinked as he noticed a man enter the building...at least, he thought it was a man...but the guy was really too short for him to give an honest answer.
"Wow...and here I thought I was pretty short..." He muttered, not realizing that had spoken loud enough for Cajabe to hear since there wasn't that much distance between them.

Cajabe turns his head to the kid who had just spoken. "Did you say something, kid?" Clearly, Cajabe was pissed off with something, and wanted to kick whomever said it's ass with something like... a Final Impact?

"Sorry. Just surprised that there's someone shorter than me." He replied honestly, realizing that the man would probably try to beat him up for saying that, but he didn't really care. He was ready and willing to spar anyways.
/Though this guy seems like he'd be more of a joke than a real fight.../

Cajabe simply glares at the boy, grimacing, but then speaks... "Well it's happened. Somebody's shorter than you. It doesn't make a difference though, really. You're just a kid... you're clearly a weakling." Prepared to fight, but remembering he really needs to get back to Earth soon... Cajabe thinks of nothing but the technique he wishes to learn.

"And you look like you're just a kid. Clearly, by your own logic, you must be a weakling." Couric shot back, the girl from before rubbing off on him a little despite the fact they had barely been around eachother for five or ten minutes.
He had already slipped into a rather basic fighting stance, practically egging the other Saiyan on.

"I'm more of a man than you could ever be, brat. I'm no weakling!" Cajabe was clearly getting pissed off, but he was still not in exactly the best shape to fight after his fight with Seri, and, of course... time was not on his side. Technique, then leave. No fighting, no matter how much this kid pisses you off, Cajabe!

"If you're not a weakling, then prove it. Unless you don't have the guts to." Couric replied simply, having a good idea of how the others would react if Cajabe backed down from the challenge.
"Yeah! Ya weakling!" One of the randoms shouted.
/There's enough time for me to get back hiome for the tournament...No worries./
