The cloud puttered to a stop, Couric leaping off and landing on the tiles. Korin turned his head, brow raised, only to notice the young Saiyan had returned. "Eh? Back again, eh kid?"
"Yup. I've come for a good reason, Korin."
"Oh? I hope you don't think you're ready for my training yet."

"I don't. I'm up here for something else. I wanna know what's going on around the planet. It feels like so many presences are disappearing quickly." Couric explained, pausing as he heard Korin suddenly chuckle.
"So, you can sense energy now, huh Kid?"
"Sense energy...?"

Gozu flies in on his nimbus he hops off inside the tower. Getting straight to business. "Korin I've heard stories about magic beans you have. Sensei beans...Senzu beans? Are those stories true?" Gozu ask not acknowledging Couric as of yet.

"Yup. An ability where ya can feel the presence of others thanks to their ki. It usually comes out through intense meditation or because they just manage to get strong enough to.." Couric blinked before letting out a chuckle.
"Guess that means I'm getting pretty strong, eh? I shouldn't have an-" He was cut off, the end of Korin's cane smashing into his face.

Gozu chuckles as Couric is hit with the cane causing Korin to jump and hit him on the head with his cane as well. "Yes Gozu that's true here..." Korin walks over to a cabinet and throws Gozu a pouch. "Bring me a red snapper fish and I will give you a Senzu bean." "Thank you so much Julia really needs one."

"Eh? What the hell's a Senzu bean?" Couric asked, obviously having never heard of them before. Then again, how possibly could he have. Only then he was hit in the face with a pouch as well, his eye twitching as it slid off his head and into his hand.
"Follow him, kid. You're gonna need one for what's going on down there." Korin replied simply before heading into his 'house', leaving the two Saiyans.

For the first time Gozu actually notices Couric. "Hey Couric. Senzu beans are magic beans that completely restore you. Body, ki everything. A complete heal. That is if the stories are true." Gozu answers.

"Sounds nifty...So where exactly can we find these Red Sna-" Another hit in the face with the cane, right eye twitching. The Saiyan sighed and resisted the urge to punt the cat into the ceiling.
"You can find them near the ocean, rives, or lakes of Earth. But be careful, they're slippery little guys." Korin replied, removing his cane from Couric's face. "Now get going." He headed back in.

"If you're coming come on" Gozu says as he hops on his nimbus that never left and zooms off towards a nearby lake that looks like a promising place to catch fish. "Just one fish how hard could that be? He mutters

Couric leapt on Nimbus and took off after Gozu at top speed, wondering just why he had enough bad luck to be hit by a cat with a cane twice. /Well..at least this should be easy enough to take care of...Though I probably won't be able to help out with whatever's going on til the tournament's done./

Gozu flies in on his nimbus. "Is there a reason you're half naked in my tower?" Korin asks. Gozu simply throws him the fish. "I caught the fish for you. Now may I please have a Senzu bean." With a smile Korin goes and grabs a bean for Gozu tossing it to him. "There you go." Gozu says thank you and flies back to grab his clothes.

Couric's Nimbus floated to a stop just near Korin, causing the cat to turn around and immediately chuckle. He could easily tell what had happened by seeing the teen's face as well as reading his mind.
"Here's your stupid Red Snapper..." He growled, falling through the cloud and onto the tiles. "But you can get it off yourself..."

"That's fine by me..." Korin replied rather simply, drawing his cane back and then bringing it down right upon Couric's face, knocking the Red Snapper out and hitting him right in the nose. Couric's eye twitched, ignoring the bit of blood that was dropping from his nose. Walking past the young Saiyan, Korin dropped a senzu into his pouch.
"Thanks for the lunch, kid. Put that to good use and don't waste it at that tournament."

The young Saiyan climbed back onto the cloud, only for it to take off at full speed before he could get all the way back on. Couric hung from the cloud's tail, sighing as he just waited for it to get back to Papaya Island. /I'd help...but I don't have enough time to before my match begins../ He thought as the cloud picked up speed.

Gozu flies up to Korin's Tower again he jumps off and lands in the tower. "Ah...Gozu what brings you back here?" "Hey Korin if I bring you another Red Snapper can I get another bean?" "What did you do with one I gave you?" "I gave to a friend who needed. Her ribs were probably broken." "Well then of course my boy but only one"

"Nice thank you Korin." Gozu says he hops on his nimbus and flies out of the tower and down to the same lake as before. Korin mutters. "How is he so carefree? He knows Earth is under attack yet he enjoys going for a fish. He is your boy Goku" Korin mutters as he watches Gozu fly off.

Gozu flies in but stays on his nimbus. "How come every time you bring me a fish you're half naked?" Korin asks. Gozu laughs. "Here's your fish you crazy cat." Korin had a bean in hand and handed it to Gozu. "Don't come back without pants." Korin yells as Gozu flies off to retrieve his clothing.

Arriving back here from Roshi's place, Ava could be seen sitting on her Nimbus, as it orbits Korin's tower. Looking down to the world below, she folds her legs, with her hands laid flat on their palms on either side of her....
"Wow..... I feel so much stronger now... But I know there's a lot more I can learn..... More ways to push myself... Hmm.... O-Oh no! I forgot about Shiro! I wonder if he's already fought yet....?"

Post by Ava Truesdale on May 20, 2009 9:18:10 GMT -5
Ava lets out a sigh, preparing to leave, when she hears....
"Hey babe! I see you have Master Roshi's 'seal of approval'! Haha, good job."
Looking over her right shoulder, she sees Korin stood on the tower's edge, looking on at her with a smile on his face. He was of course refering to the turtle school kanji now on the back of Ava's jacket. Ava now hovers over to the tower, staying sat atop her Nimbus, she floats over to stay stationed in front of Korin and nods....
"Yup, I completed Master Roshi's training just like you told me, Master Korin. After which, he put the symbol on my jacket."

Korin laughs, looking a bit surprised....
"Ah..... So.... It's 'Master' Roshi now eh?"
Ava laughs as well, now floating over to be on Korin's right side, the two of them now both looking off the tower to the Earth below....
"Yeah.... I mean, don't get me wrong.... He's still a dirty old pervert... But, his training has made me much stronger."

Korin sighs at that, then laughs....
"Yeah.... See? I told you it would pay off. So? What are you going to do now? Have you been to Papaya Island yet?"
Ava shakes her head....
"N-No.... I got so caught up in my training, I forgot about Shiro...."

Korin chuckles at that....
"Haha! That's alright, I understand. I'm sure he didn't get knocked out the first round.... Well... Hopefully he didn't...."
Ava looks a bit worried at that....
"Oh no.... It's all my fault if he did.... I should have been there to support him... I should get going now...."
Ava hops to her feet at that, preparing to leave. Though, suddenly shouts out....
"Wait a sec! Did you learn the 'Kamehameha'.....?"

Post by Ava Truesdale on May 20, 2009 9:46:35 GMT -5
Ava looks to Korin with a look of pure confusion....
"The what now....?"
Korin laughs at that, shaking his head....
"That Roshi.... He's always trying to hold out for more of those damn mags.... Roshi created one of the most powerful ki attacks ever made.... The Kamehameha Wave. He's reluctant to teach it though... Mainly because he's so lazy now, and doesn't like doing it himself... Also, he wants to get more mags for it...."

Post by Ava Truesdale on May 20, 2009 9:50:07 GMT -5
Ava's expression changes to one of intrigue now....
"Really now....?"
Korin nods....
"Yup. You're training wouldn't be complete without learning the Kamehameha.... It's a Turtle School trademark technique. Shiro will be fine. I'm sure you'll be able to make it before it's all over to cheer him on. He has a good shot at winning, he'll be able to hold his own. You should head back to Roshi's Isle and have him teach it to you..... Just be sure to bring more mags..... Or else...."

Ava nods, now floating off the tower slowly, looking to Korin with a smile on her face....
"I think I just might do that, Master Korin.... Thank you again. And yeah, I know not to come empty handed anymore..."
Korin laughs at that....
"Now you're catchin' on babe. Well, better get going, the sooner the better."
Turning away from Korin, Ava waves to him.....
"You're right. Bye, Master Korin!"
And with that, Ava rockets off.

Coming back from Roshi's Isle, Ava comes zooming across the sky on her Nimbus. Once over the tower, about 30 feet above, she dives off. Coming down head first, body straight as an arrow, and just before she lands, about 5 feet from the floor, she somersaults and lands on her feet, cracking the pavement upon impact....
"Woooo...! That feels so good!"
Standing up straight, she places her right hand on her left shoulder, moving her left arm in a windmill fashion to loosen some tension. As she does, she hears....
"H-Hey! C'mon now! Don't ruin my perfect marble tiles! It's not like I can just call a repair man to come up and fix it, y'know!"
Looking over her right shoulder, she sees Korin walking towards her. At his words, she laughs nervously, now bringing her right hand to the back of her head, while facing Korin....
"Oops..... Sorry, Master Korin....."

Stepping off the broken tiles, Ava brings her hand from her head, still laughing nerously. Korin kneels to examine the tiles, letting out a sigh....
"Aww man..... This is gonna cut into lunch time...." Looking up to Ava now, he continues, "Well, I take it from your grand entrance, that you've learned the Kamehameha eh....?"
Ava nods and smiles, relaxing a bit now that he didn't seem too upset about the tiles.....
"Yup.... I feel myself getting stronger more and more. It's a great feeling. I just want to keep going. Keep getting stronger."
Korin gets to his feet at that....
"Hmm.... I'm glad to hear it.... Perhaps you may be ready for my training.... But first, I can't train you until you get some good karma babe... I don't train people without goodness inside of them."

Ava was at first happy to hear Korin said she was ready for his training..... Though was brought down once he told her of the karma stipulation....
"W-What do you mean, Master Korin....? Are you saying I have no good inside of me....?"
Korin shook his head at that.....
"No babe, that's not what I mean. Don't take it the wrong way. I'm not saying you're a bad person, you just don't have any positive karma."
Turning away from Korin, Ava looks off into the sky...
"I see..... So....how do I get this positive karma, Master Korin....?"

Post by Ava Truesdale on May 20, 2009 18:50:06 GMT -5
Walking over to be stood beside her, Korin goes on....
"You know the answer to that, babe. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what it takes to get something like positive karma.... When the oppurtunity arises, I'm sure you'll know exactly what to do. With great power, comes great responsibilty. Don't forget that Ava... I know you have something inside of you..... Don't let it sway you...."
Ava looks down to Korin, suprise ridden across her face.....
"Y-You.....?! B-But how....?!"
Korin smiles.....
"I read your mind, remember....? Be careful of who you get involved with, Ava..... I would hate to see you go down the wrong path.... Roshi belives in you, or else he would have never given you his symbol... I believe in you as well. Just stay strong for all those who can't defend themselves. Earth will always need heroes.... And you're one of the top picks for fulfilling the roster of those fighters who defended the Earth long ago.... Time after time again. I see that kanji on your back.... And it brings back so many memories....."

A smile now adorns Ava's face, feeling encouraged by Korin's words....
"Thank you, Master Korin.... I promise to always do my best, and give it my all. No matter how bad things may get... Perhaps this is my reason...."
Korin raises an eyebrow to that....
"Your 'reason'.....?"
Ava nods....
"Shiro told me to find a reason for wanting to be strong.... I couldn't give him one.... But, now.... I think I have one.... Protecting the Earth.... Protecting the innocent.... Maybe that can be my reason for why I fight.... Why I want to be strong.... To protect...."
Korin smiles at that....
"There you go, babe. You got the right mindset. You'll get that positive karma in no time with your mind set on that goal."
