13. 4. 10.
Without a word, Couric thrust his hands down towards the imaginary enemy, a mass of green energy escaping his palms and traveling towards the ground at a rather surprising pace. But as he fired it, the teen shot down after the beam, overtaking it rather quickly and drawing his arms up into a defensive cross to absorb the force of the attack.
After all, too much destruction is a bad thing.

Grimacing as the attack slammed into him and forced him backwards across the field, the ground being ripped apart. He flung himself into the air as quickly as he could, thrusting his knee upwards before following it up with his left. And thus, it would eventually become a barrage of knee strikes to the air.
/Eh...?/

But once again, he ignored the fact that his energy was being drained by the form at a pace he could've never expected. Once he had gotten tired of striking the air with his knees, he switching to punching it as rapidly as he could, letting his instinct drive his motions for the time being.

16. 7. 13.
Once he had punched the air a final time, his fist unclenched and his fingertips faced the sky above. Almost immediately, a blade of energy formed around the entirety of his hand and down a few inches below his wrist, the edge decently sharp. He slashed downwards before slipping into a flurry of slashes at the sky.
Poor sky.

Slashing a few more times, Couric smirked, surprised once again by the form's speed and power, happiness building up within him.
"Not bad!" Goku exclaimed, having been watching the teen train for a while now. Couric blinked and turned to face the former savior of the universe, said saiyan looking up towards the transformed individual.

"Thanks, I guess." Couric replied, switching to stabs from slashes, still attacking the air for some reason. Though, technically, most would consider it shadowboxing...without the boxing.
"Y'know..." Goku began, an idea popping into his head, having decided to help the teen a little. Couric paused as he noticed that Goku's ki had suddenly lowered to his level.

Couric stabbed the air a few more times, keeping his eyes on Goku for the moment. Something just seemed to scream that he was about to attack or something...Other than the fact his strength had suddenly lowered. And almost immediately, Goku disappeared, the teen immediately drew his hand up and let the blade of energy fade so that he could manage to catch Goku's fist as he reappeared, having thrown a punch towards Couric's face. And his knee shot upwards just as Goku drew his other hand forward to punch the teen in the stomach...not exactly something he could see coming.
The teen winced, not even wanting to imagine just how much both attacks would have hurt if Goku hadn't lowered his power to match his own. And without realizing it, his transformation died, leaving him in his base form.
"I was gonna suggest that I help you with something...but it seems you're getting pretty close to it on your own!" Goku chuckled.

"You just need to concentrate a bit more."
And just like that, Goku pulled his fist out of Couric's grip with a simplistic ease and flew back towards the ground, returning to his dojo. The teen blinked, a brow raised in absolute confusion. But he closed his eyes and thought about why he had been able to catch Goku's fist besides the advance warning from his battle power. Now that he thought about it, he realized that something seemed to whisper into his mind that Goku was going to punch him in the face.
And after a bit of meditation, he realized why...For a little bit, he had managed to read the savior's mind and use that to know just what Goku was going to do. For an instant, he had learned what Goku was thinking.
But then he noticed something else that should have been insanely obvious...
"Eh!? My...power's gone!?"
OOC: Couric has forgotten teh LAST RIOT JAVELIN and learned...MIND READER.

Having fallen asleep quickly after realizing that he had reverted back to his 'base' form, Couric found himself resting against a tree. He let out a yawn and slowly began to get up, stretching his arms outwards.

Glancing up towards the skies for some hint as to the time, he found that it was still as light out as it had been when he went to sleep.
/You'd think I'd've gotten used to this by now.../

/Eh...Whatever. It's not that big a deal so I shouldn't overreact./ He thought, pressing his hands against the ground to help himself get to his feet.
...And he still hadn't noticed that he was alive again.

Managing to fully stand up after one failed attempt(he had hit his head on a low hanging branch), Couric took a quick look around the area. And it was about then that he had noticed something. Something mildly peculiar...

"Oh wow...Someone fixed up the field and the wall..." Couric muttered, a bit surprised that they had done so while he was sleeping without managing to actually wake him up.
"You'd think that that would require extraordinary loud noises to do..."

Post by unholylssj on Jul 27, 2009 10:26:14 GMT -5
The teen shrugged, deciding that he really didn't care about how or why the area had been fixed up so stealthily. He was more concerned about something else...Something actually important to him.
Nope. Couric doesn't care about dojo walls.

"Let's see....What can I do today?" He asked himself, folding his arms across his chest and looking up towards the sky above. He had quite a few options available to him at the moment and any of them would probably stave off boredom.

"Well...I could practice a few techniques..." Couric considered, drawing up a mental list of techniques that he actually knew.
"Hmm....I have quite a few now..." He chuckled, having not even realized that til now.

Post by unholylssj on Jul 27, 2009 10:32:59 GMT -5
"But..." He began, thinking over what he could actually do with the techniques. He didn't really actually have anything in mind at the moment and probably wouldn't for a while longer. A rather unfortunate set of circumstances...

"I think all my techniques are as good as they can be for now." He concluded, tail swishing back and forth to prevent its lawsuit against the writer of this post for not appearing more often like it should. Couric let out his second yawn of the morning.

"Yeah...I should probably work on 'that'." He noted, remembering what had happened the day before when he attempted to train in that form of his. It hadn't been very successful considering one simply fact...

"Something was definitely wrong when I transformed..." He muttered, reminding himself of just how long the transformation had lasted. He was sure that it was supposed to last quite a bit longer than it had...

Post by unholylssj on Jul 27, 2009 10:45:49 GMT -5
At least...he thought that was the case. But there was always the chance that he could be wrong, somehow. Maybe if he realized that he was alive, he'd understand just why it hadn't lasted as long as he thought it should have...

"Well...I should probably give it another try...just to see if I did something wrong yesterday..." Couric decided, closing his eyes as he began to concentrate. A few green sparks shot around his form as he prepared himself to transform into that state once more.

1. 17.
The transformation took place rather quickly to prevent massive wall of text posts and to save the writer of this post time and effort. After all, Couric was just training, so a huge descriptive paragraph wasn't really needed....FOR NOW. But anyways, the teen drew a hand up and began striking the air with his right palm as fast as he could.

2. 18.
As he thrust his palms at nothingness, Couric realized that his energy was quickly beginning to drain. But for now, he pushed it out of his mind, clenching his hands into fist and slipping in a wildly, instinctive barrage of punches. Obviously the technique that he had learned while in the dojo in Hades, Hate Rush.

3. 19.
One final punch into the air and then he drew both hands back, charging up energy into them rather quickly before firing off a rather large wave of energy into the sky. Breaking off the flow of ki from his hands, he shot off after the attack, clenching his fists together as he prepared himself to overtake the energy attack.

4. 20.
Stopping himself in the way of the Double Sunday, Couric focused energy into his fists and brought them down towards his beam attack. Flesh and ki clashed against ki until the attack exploded and sent the young saiyan flying backwards through the air, his hands decently burnt by his own attack. He really should have expected that.

Grimacing, Couric did a quick flip to make sure that the ground was below his feet and the sky was above his head, a tiny bit disoriented thanks to his own attack. But he quickly regained his senses and flipped forward, beginning to curl up into a ball as he charged up energy.

Once he had gathered up enough energy and properly curled up into a ball, the teen shot towards the ground, smashing into the soil at an angle. Ignoring the bit of pain that came with it, he curved upwards and shot back up into the sky.

Feeling his energy beginning to drain faster, Couric spun towards the ground once more, still curled up into a ball shape. Ripping right through a tree, he smashed into the ground and quickly bounded off into the sky, ignoring another good dosing of pain that came from crashing into the soil.

8. 24.
He curved through the air and made one final rush towards a nearby tree, realizing that he'd be completely out of energy before too long if he kept up with this technique. So he'd just hit one more tree before breaking out of the ball shape and skidding across the ground, panting a bit, sweat dripping down his brow.
/Yup...Something's definitely wrong...My stamina's draining faster than it did when I first got here.../
