9. Shiro followed. The two stopped in an area almost completely vacant of other fighters. I guess it's so we don't accidently hurt someone.

10. "That's right." The old man suddenly said. Shiro turned around, surprised, but the man answered before he could ask anything. "And yes, I can read your mind."

11. Shiro nodded. "Could you-"
"-teach you that? No. You'll have to learn that on your own, I'm afraid."

12. Shiro sighed as the old one continued. "But I can teach you the Destructo Disc. I have a feeling it will help you in what's coming up."
Shiro looked up. "What do you mean?"

13. The old man smiled. "The Destructo Disc can cut through anything, regardless of how strong it is."
Shiro smiled too. "Yeah, that does sound useful."

14. The older fighter stepped back. "Are you ready?" Shiro nodded. "Then let us begin."

15. The fighter held up one hand, palm up. Violet energy began to gather in his palm, spinning around like a pizza. "Mimic me, Shiro." Shiro started at hearing his name, but did as asked, forming a spinning disc of his white ki.

16. "Flatten your disc a bit more. If it's too thick now, it'll be even thicker once you're finished." Shiro nodded and forced his ki disc to flatten out a bit.

17. The fighter looks at Shiro disc and nods. "That looks good. Now, add a bit more energy into it." As he spoke he acted, and soon his own disc was almost four feet wide. Shiro followed suit, a bit more slowly.

18. The old man looked at Shiro's disc once it was done. "That's good. Now, this is the hardest part. You have to throw the disc without touching it. Otherwise it'll cut you to ribbons." Shiro shuddered. So this tech really was dangerous.

19. "I find it's easiest to just do this." He lowered his arm, which was at that point over his head, to his side and swung it forward. The blade curved a bit, but the fighter's control over ki kept it's path reasonably straight as it headed for a row of dummies. Shiro watched and learned.

20. The fighter turned to Shiro, stepping far, far back. "Now you try. Make sure you warn people before you throw it, though."
Shiro nodded and brought his arm down. He shouted, "INCOMING!" And threw the energy disc towards the same group of dummies. Whereas the old man had chopped off their heads, Shiro cut them in half.

1. Shiro panted after releasing the attack. The old man nodded in approval. "That was very good. You're quite skilled."

2. Shiro grinned. "Th-"
But the old man interrupted him. "Now, there's one more technique I wish to teach you, if you think you can handle it."

3. Shiro frowned. "Okay, what is it?"
The old man's expression was grim. "An attack far stronger, but far more dangerous than the one you just learned."

4. "More dangerous to them, or to me?" Shiro asked.
The old man smiled slightly. "Both, sadly."

5. "What makes it so dangerous to me?"
"Most attacks use Ki energy. This attack is different. It uses your life energy."

6. Shiro's frown was now more one of confusion than worry. "Okay, what's the difference?"
"Ki is the extra energy produced by the body as a result of living. Life energy is the energy your body requires to continue living"

Post by Shiro on May 27, 2009 22:57:42 GMT -5
7. Shiro nodded. "So, if I use too much ki, I'll be tired, but I can keep living, but if I use too much life energy, I won't be able to live any more, right?"
"Essentially, yes."

8. Shiro thought about it for a moment. Well, if I'm gonna die, I might as well go out with a bang.
That would be a smart strategy.

7.)
Ava smiles at that....
"Yeah, you'll be able to have your own dojo and all then. I won't even have to try as hard as anyone else.... It's just naturally apart of me now. Though that doesn't mean I won't do what needs to be done."

The monk raised an eyebrow at that....
"What do you mean....? Don't boast now.... Yeah, you are a quick study.... But you still have a lot to learn...."

9.)
Ava laughs slightly at that, of course skeptical of what the monk had just told her.....
"Oh really...? Come now..... Don't talk me to death..... There's nothing you can do, that I can't.... Along with no power I can't surpass.... Believe me... I'm not boasting. I'm just telling the truth...."

10.)
The monk sighs and shakes his head.....
"Tsk, tsk..... You'll be my star pupil if you ignore the basics....."
Walking over to be stood next to her on her right side, he looks on at many people training in the dojo. Ava looks along with him, folding her arms now....
"Oh yeah....? What do you mean by that? Ignoring the basics?"

11.)
Looking to Ava now, the monk answers.....
"Everyone runs in this place for one reason only.... And that's to learn a technique.... Clearly and essentially, that's what this place is for.... Of course.... You could learn anything this dojo has to offer.... Though of course, you, along with everyone else will only learn what suits their needs.... Their preferences...."
Ava looks to the monk at that, with a sort of "Duh...." expression on her face....
"Well, of course.... I don't see where you're going with this....."

"If you let me finish...." The monk clears his throat at that, continuing, "To be a true unstoppable force... You'll learn the ups and downs of every technique here.... Even if you don't like it yourself, learn about it... Know it's strengths and weaknesses.... Know how it looks, how it's performed, what it's capabilities are... It may not fit your style, but your sure to run into foes who WILL have these techs, among others. Victory goes to neither the strong nor the weak..... It goes to the prepared....."

13.)
Ava listened intentively to the monk, smiling to show her acknowledgement....
"Wow.... You really have a great mind.... You're right.... I should learn about the techs, so I'll know what to look for against opponents. Even if it's a variation of said tech, the basis of it remains the same. By be prepared for the attacks, I can counteract them without folly...."

14.)
The monks smiles....
"Now you're catching on. I hear that there are dojos on other planets as well.... I've seen all types come into this dojo... The guys with the monkey tails.... Saiyans.... Who live on planet Vegeta... The green Namekians... Their home planet being Namek.... The Changlings... They vary in physical appearance, but their home planet is called Icer.... Once you learn everything here..... Increase your knowledge and power by paying a visit to these various planets... I don't know all what's out there.... That's just the tip of the iceberg.... I'm sure there are thousands upon thousands of more planets, races, etc. The possibilities are limitless."

Ava's eyes widened in surprise at this new information, though soon she smiles, satisfied with what she had learned...
"I knew of Namek... Though I didn't know of the other two.... Especially not this Icer planet.... Hmm.... Interesting..... Yes, I think I will pay a visit to these planets.... Along with any others that may prove useful...."

The monk nods, stepping out infront of Ava now....
"Good..... Good.... So now, I suppose you want to learn that technique I just performed eh?"
