"I have no idea....The elder didn't tell me." He replied, managing to force himself to sit up,leaing against a nearby section of wall. "I'm guessing someone just got bored enough and decided to try and see if they could make a tower that bigger than anyone else had ever made." He added, wincing a bit from the pain in his shoulder.

"Heh, sounds like that might be it..." She laughs a little, trying to ignore the pain in her gut as she does.
"So anyways, you're a saiyan, right?" She decides it's time to find some more out about this race.

Couric blinked, looking at Julia, expression completely blank. Something in the back of his mind told him he had heard the word before, but he just couldn't place where or when. "Eh? Never heard of that...What's a Saiyan?" He asked

"You don't know...? Then... why do you have a tail?" Julia's a bit struck by this... not expecting that response... "Maybe there's more than one race of people with tails..."

Couric glanced down towards the tail that rested at his side, looking up as he tried to recall the earliest point in his life where he remembered having a tail. He shrugged and looked down, shaking his head. "Dunno. It's just always been there with me."

"Hm... I see... well... remember that guy you saw me uh... choking... the other day? Well, he had a tail like yours... I think it was a different color, though, but, anyway... he said he was a saiyan from a planet called... Vegeta I think... I was gonna go there because I think the people there wouldn't have to worry about me and my weird deathgrip thing... but now fighting you I think I'd be a little worried to meet the rest... I mean, you're a kid, and you're so STRONG!" She went on quite a bit... but now Couric has a moment to talk.

Couric listened as Julia spoke, occasionally glancing down at the tail that lay limply besides him, a result of his own exhaustion. /Someone with a tail like mine, huh? I'll definitely have to look into that when I get the chance.../ He thought, considering the possibility that he may be one of those beings. /Then again...I also may not be.../ "Heh....And here I thought it was just my training helping me get as strong as I am. If I really am Saiyan like you say....I'll have to visit this Planet Vegeta some day."

"I think... maybe I still will visit planet Vegeta one day, myself, too... but I'd like to get a little better with my powers first... this is my new life, I need to do what I can with it." She sighs a little... something making her feel a little down, but she pushes it out, and thinks a bit further... "So, the cat said something about Hercule City having a dojo... maybe I could learn stuff like that weird invisible attack you used on me..."

"That's actually where I learned it." He replied, remembering the chaos that occurred while he was trying to figure out the technique. /People in that city really are completely insane.../ He reminded himself, the teenage Saiyan finally managing to catch his breath, looking up as he leaned back. "I should probably head back there myself. I could use another technique under my belt if there are people as strong as you around..."

"Yeah, I think I'll go, too... I still don't trust my powers that much either, so I'd like to go with you in case I try grabbing someone... you remember when I grabbed your head any strange feeling, like something being drained from you? If I do that to a normal person... worse things happen than getting punched in the stomach..." Julia's mood seems to have gone down, even though her stamina is a little back up.

Couric blinked, having not even noticed that such a thing occurred when Julia had managed to grab hold of his head. "Not really...I don't think you ever really held on for long enough for something like that to happen...if you can really do it." He replied, noticing that his wristbands lay on the ground nearby, reaching over to pick them up and slip them over his wrists, once again feeling the effects of the weighted clothing...though they had begun to feel pretty light.

"Hmm, I guess that's good to know... you can get me off before anything happens at all." Her mind moves to something else... "By the way, how come you sped up all of a sudden at one point? I swear you were kind'a slow at first... but then BOOM... what happened?"

Couric seemed confused when she mentioned his sudden speed up, pausing as realization hit him once more. "Oh! I just took off my weighted wristbands. Guess these things restrict my strength and speed a bit." He chuckled, tugging at them with a bit of a grin on his face. "You really should've been paying more attention to me when you flipped away."

"Weights? Why wear weights if they slow you down? Wait... no nevermind, I think I get it... heh, nice idea. Shame you had to take them off... but I guess I should be glad I'm that strong to make you need to do that, right?" She smiles a little, and now just relaxes to regather her energy.
Korin's voice can be heard... "I know you two are gonna leave, but before ya go I wanna tell you both something..." The cat walks out and continues provided he has the attention... "Come back when you guys get stronger, I'd like to train you two. You seem like you might be able to handle it some day."

/Training!?/ Couric's eyes widening upon just hearing the word, excited about the prospect of actually being trained by someone....until he remembered that Korin was a cat and a bit of his excitement was immediately crushed. "I'll...be sure to. Just as soon as I can manage to actually gather up the strength to leave." He chuckled, managing to actually get on his feet, having gotten enough rest to recover a good bit of his energy.

"Hey, I heard that, kid. Just because I'm a cat..." He appeared in front of Couric in a blink as if he never moved. "...doesn't mean my training's nothing to be excited about." Then he's gone... back to where he was standing before. He chuckles a bit, and then leaves. "You two'll be fine in a while more. Just don't fall the whole way down, got it?"
Julia just lays there, a little surprised at the cat's speed... "They said he was some kind of 'master'... now I guess I might get it now... huh."

Seeing Korin move so quickly, Couric's eagerness to get back for training returned near instantly. "Heh. Looks like your training'll definitely be fun if you can move so quickly. I'll need to pick up on that someday!" He exclaimed, glancing towards the ladder he had climbed to get up here from the pillar that he had to climb to reach the ladder. "We're heading back to Hercule City, right?" He asked the android still stuck on the ground.

Julia pushes herself up a bit, and answers... "Yeah, let's go for it." She stands to her feet and stretches a little... her body feeling a little stiff as if she'd just been sleeping or something.

"Only one problem..." Couric began, folding his arms across his chest, walking over to the railing and looking down at the clouds below. "I have no idea where the cities are from here or where we even are....well...other than the obvious fact that we're at the top of a tower..." He added, folding his arms behind his head.

Korin came rushing back, saying... "Oh, I should have thought of this earlier... I want to try giving you two something..." He raises his cane to the air, and two fluffy yellow clouds eventually swoosh in from nowhere. "These... are nimbus clouds. Let's see if either of you two can get on top of one."
Julia stares at them, and says... "Clouds... you want us to stand on these clouds?"

The yellow fluff ball rushed out towards Couric, stopping right in front of the young Saiyan, seemingly waiting for the teen to try to leap up and stand on it. He stared confused at the cloud before looking back towards the cat. /A talking cat with living clouds...I can't say I'm all that shocked even if I wanted to.../ He noted, finding enough strength in himself to jump up...and land right atop the cloud as though it were solid ground, the spiky haired fourteen year old's eyes widening to near dinner plate size. "WOAH! I...I CAN ACTUALLY STAND ON THIS THING!?"

Observing Couric... Julia's jaw dropped... "Maybe I can..." She hops up and... "Cool!"
But Korin was a little concerned about something. "Now, Julia, you'll be able to ride on that for as long as you keep control over that programming in your head. If for a second any of the thoughts that stuff brings enter your mind, you'll fall!" He turns to Couric... "Hey kid, if she falls, you'll catch her though, right? She's got nothin' to worry about."

Couric simply nodded, sitting upon the cloud instead of standing, not wanting to accidentally get blown off by a strong gust. "Don't worry about it." Couric replied, not yet realizing that meant actually coming in contact with the cyborg, his arms still folded behind his head.
"Oh and one last thing, Korin? In what direction are the cities from here?"

Korin points his cane out toward Hercule City, knowing that's the one they want... "Right that way, kid. Safe journey."
Julia sits down on her cloud, and finds it pretty comfortable. "See you later Korin, thanks for everything." "Don't mention it."
"Ready to go... uh... hm...? Hold on, I never asked your name..." She directs at Couric.

"Thanks a lot, Korin. And I'll be back to complete your training before you know it!" The teen exclaimed, absolutely sure he'd be ready for any training the cat had in mind before too long. And then he heard Julia, looking towards the android.
"The name's Couric. And since you asked, I should probably ask for your's."

"I'm Julia, so are we ready to go?" As soon as Couric sets off, Julia's nimbus will speed after. "Seriously, I'm sat on a floating yellow cloud... and somehow I think it's alive."

"Ready as I'll ever be to ride a yellow fluff ball through the air." He chuckled, wondering just how fast the cloud could actually go, figuring that it may be a bit slow like most would expect upon looking at it. Especially since it looked like cotton candy.
"Alright...GO KINTO-UN*!" He shouted, pointing in the direction of their destination, expecting a rather long ride. Needless to say, the young Saiyan was shocked when the cloud immediately picked up speed and tore through the clouds that prevented anyone from seeing the tower up the pillar.
"HOLYCRAPTHATSFAST!!!" He shouted, now hanging on to the bit of fluff the best he could, having not been prepared for the cloud to move so fast.
OOC: *Candy Cloud.

"WwwwWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh~!!!!!!!" Julia screamed as the cloud sped off in to the distance with her on it... This was pretty scary... oh she hopes she doesn't fall off... she's barely able to hold on as it is!

1. Gozu looks up at the tower. He whistles low. "Man that is a tall tower. I'm impressed Julia climbed that. I guess her crazy android powers kicked in. If and when she masters those she'll be quite a force. Well better get started." Gozu crouches down gaining all the power he can his legs and jumps up.

2. Gozu rockets through the air like a missile. The wind pushes his hair back as he flies up through the air. Gozu has a serious look on his face as he flies through the clouds. When he feels himself losing momentum he reaches out and grabs on to the tower and pulls himself up.
