The namek begins to back himself up to a safe distance, until he's at the edge of the ring, but still within it, while he says... "Okay, fighters. You may begin when you are both ready. Make it a good one."

Couric flipped into a standing position a few feet away from Julia, letting out a loud and long yawn as he stood there, nearly causing the ground to shake a little. But as soon as it finished, he grinned and slipped into a rather basic defensive stance, tail still wrapped around his waist. His side facing Julia, his eye opened and he looked towards the android, still not quite serious yet.

Julia would remain in place, watching Couric flipped away. She raised an eyebrow and held herself firm against the trembling ground when Couric yawned... and then, after a random sweat drop appeared next to her head, she closed her eyes, and took in a deep breath.
Exhaling, she began to shift her footing. Her left foot sliding forwards a little, as the knee of her right leg bends slightly. She holds her left arm down, with her elbow at about her waist, but bends the elbow at a right angle, holding her hand forward, wrist-up, in some sort of claw form. Her right arm, meanwhile, would be raised up behind her at her side, with her right hand open, also in a claw shape, just above and to the right of her head.
She opens her eyes, and smiles. "Okay, Couric. I'm ready." Well... since when did Julia all of a sudden look so epic in her fighting stance?

/Okay...Last time I fought her, she was able to keep up with my speed while I was transformed, but her punches barely phased me.../ Couric thought, left fist clenched at his waist.
/So until I use my full power, she'll probably be faster than I am and hit hard...If I play my cards right, I just might be able to finish this without powering up to my maximum.../ He added, a bit of golden beginning to outline his form. He wanted to see just what he was dealing with first.

Julia blinks a couple of times, and asks... "Uhh... Couric... aren't you going to attack me?" "I definitely don't feel up to attacking him first... maybe after he tries to attack me I'll be able to."

"Maybe." The teen replied, the golden aura outlining his form now flaring a little, his strength beyond that of a normal Super Saiyan's at the moment. He strafed a few inches to the side, watching the android for any sudden movements. He definitely wasn't ready to go on the offensive just yet...not until he knew just what kind of speed he was dealing with.

Julia then let out a sigh, and said... "Well, if you're going to take this long... I think everyone's waited enough." Her hair suddenly begins to lift up slightly, and levitate as if weightless... then an orb of yellow energy subtley formed in her lowered left hand... the fingers of that hand shifted to point toward Couric's path as he strafed around her... the orb speeding out to smack him in the gut, then rebound sideways and return with a strike to his face... but then by the second hit it would break apart. If he avoided the hit to the gut, it would immediately arc around and hit him in the back, then drop down and sweep his feet to trip him up before breaking apart.
Whilst this happens, Julia prepares to move, if necessary.

Couric watched the orb materialize, wondering just what Julia was up to. And it shot towards him, the teen drawing his arms up into a cross defense to absorb the explosion, only to find that it just crashed into him and then shot to the side, his eyes watching it. And as it came back to strike him in the face, the teen leaned back, the attack just barely missing the tip of his nose. Keeping the orb's existence in mind, he rushed towards Julia, drawing his fist up to punch her in the face, only to feint and spin, drawing up the side of his foot to hit her in the side of the face with a roundhouse. If it connected, he'd catch himself on his foot and go for another strike to the face to send her flying to the side.

As soon as Couric started to lean back... "Now!" Julia commanded the orb to drop down as soon as possible... it may probably hit him in the gut or face... otherwise it will simply land to the ground above his head, but Julia, will be right beside him, sending a speeding knee strike directly to his side. This will pretty much throw the rest of his plans out of the window. Plus as she sends out this knee strike, her left hand reaches out over Couric's face, and unleashes a very sudden burst of energy to bury him down in the ground. "Why am I fighting like this?!" This is a slight less spar-ish than Julia's used to fighting... especially with a friend.

Seeing the orb begin to drop, Couric leaned back a bit further to let the orb fall right to the ground, mere centimeters from slamming into his chest or his crotch on the way down. Had he been just a bit slower, he'd probably have been hit again...and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Julia appear, uttering a swear under his breath as the knee connected with his side and the burst of energy caused him to fall onto his butt on the ground, wincing in pain. But as soon as he fell, pressed a hand against the ground to start up a spin, raising his knees up while he raised up his left to the fire a shockwave at Julia's legs to sweep her off her feet and probably cause her to fall right onto the Saiyan's knee rather hard.

The shockwave catches her from her feet, and she begins a sudden spin forward from the force... crashing off from Couric's knee chest first (chest as in the area above the breasts >_>), but as this happened, she forced herself to move, even though she was feeling a fair bit of pain... and reach under Couric's knees with one arm, and over with the other. She'd easily be able to grab a hold of him this way, and yank him out, with such speed his head and arms would be flung out from her by centripetal force.
She'd spin around a couple of times, leap while spinning once more, and release Couric down to the ground from the air... then she'd hold both her hands down, with orbs gathering in her palms. She'd prepare to blast him, if he's not able to recover immediately... and after an impact of that speed, he'd likely be pretty badly stunned. "I fight like this?!"

Couric had been aware of the increased viciousness in Julia's attacking style, chalking it up to the desire to fight right now. But as soon as she grabbed onto him and began spinning, he knew that he couldn't make a mistake or she'd turn the battle entirely on its head with ease. Unfortunately for Julia, Couric had prepared himself for when she threw him, flipping in mid-air and catching himself on the ground, wincing a bit from the sheer force behind the impact as he began gathering up his own energy to match whatever Julia had up her sleeve.

Seeing Couric flip himself over to land, she shifted her position while he was taking the impact to his legs, and swung a kick for Couric's face in the jaw, using her right leg... he'd no doubt be hit considering the distance between the two of them, and the surprise of her actually not using her charge at all, but taking it back.
She'd then follow through with her left leg, just in case the first kick somehow missed... the second one would almost certainly catch him... then she'd back flip in a flash, dropping down a little during the instant, and using her momentum she'd drive both her knees to Couric's gut. If successful, he'd be very... very stunned, and in quite a bit of discomfort, even for a saiyan. "Okay, Julia, you're scaring yourself now."

As Julia swung her foot towards Couric's jaw, reacting fast enough to keep a hold of his charge, grimacing as the second kick collided with his face, noticing that Julia was in the process of a back flip. But just as Julia's knees slammed into his stomach, the teen managed to draw his arm up and release the energy as the wind was knocked out of him, firing off a rather decently large beam of energy towards Julia's face, not being able to get the full strike out thanks to the collision with his gut. But he managed to at least fire off towards her face...and with the distance between them, it might just hit.

"Gyah!" Julia's head reels back, and she finds herself touching down on the ground and stumbling a few paces back... but she immediately began to cup one of her hands at her side... air could be felt swirling around her, but nothing would be seen in her hand as she gathers energy for something. "I'm sorry, Couric, I don't know why I'm fighting like this. I'm trying not to be too vicious, but..." "Well, my face hurts... at least he's able to keep up with me to an extent that I don't stand even a chance at brutalizing him..." She's getting very worried with herself, but intends to keep going... but is that all her choice? Or is something within her telling her to fight on, also? Just because... it's fun. Apparently.

"Heh...Don't worry about it, Julia..." Couric said, regaining the ability to breathe, taking a deep breath. He was surprised that Julia had hit him so quickly so hard, but he wasn't all that unable to adjust.
/I don't think I'll be able to last the whole fight like this...I'm going to have to transform soon.../ He thought, watching Julia and shifting into a defensive stance to prepare himself for whatever she had up her sleeve.

"I don't want to use this, but I am! Why?!" Julia threw her hand forward, unleashing a blitz of piercing invisible intensely-speeding shockwave-type entities all over Couric's body... this will easily cause quite a lot of pain, push him back, and leave him rather stunned from the powerful shotgun-ish blitz... and to top that off, Julia leaped forward, pursuing her own attack, even though it outspeeds her in an instant to Couric, and prepares to follow it up.

Couric drew his arms up into a defensive cross the instant Julia thrusted her hand towards him, uttering a swear under his breath as the shockwave connected, ripping into his skin and cutting him pretty badly. As he felt himself skid backwards, the saiyan began to gather up his energy as Julia rushed forward.
/I can't hold back if she's fighting like this..../ He thought, arms still in that defensive position, blood dripping from quite a few of the cuts.

Upon the moment she reached Couric, which was pretty much while he was still recovering from the effects of getting hit by such an attack as she used thanks to her speed, left him with an after image to look at, while she had flipped up over him to kick first one heel, then the other, in to the back of his skull.
She'd then do a quick spin and flip to land on her feet a few feet behind him, and facing him.

Julia's first heel connected and the teen stumbled forward a bit, pain roaring through his mind from the sheer force behind it. But as she went in for the second, Couric let out a roar of anger as his power exploded outwards in massive flames of golden. The sheer power emitting from his body would push Julia backwards, stopping any further attempts at hitting the teen. And before the blinding light emitted from the transformation died down and Julia recovered from whatever shock she may have experienced by seeing Couric suddenly transform, the teen would have launch himself at her, fist clenched tightly. He punched towards the android's stomach to knock the wind out of her before drawing his left fist up to strike her in the base of the jaw.
And if both connected, the teen would pull his fist back and spin, aiming to bring his heel down into the side of Julia's face to send her flying backwards. And it'd likely connect since the punch to the guy would stun her like her knees had him earlier on if that connected.

Julia felt herself get thrown in to the air all of a sudden... and let out a bit of a wail, until she caught herself and span herself around to see what just happened. "What the? Hey cool... he can-" "Oh God." As Couric darted toward her with his new power, she did the only thing she could, and held out her right hand to him, bracing it with her left... gathering energy... rapidly... He won't be able to stop himself or change direction in time, because he'll find a suddenly huge blast of energy rush out from her hand to smash him in the face, and, no doubt, stop him right in his tracks with a huge explosion, which would easily conceal Julia while he's stuck unable to locate her.
She'd then fly stealthily around him to get behind him, bring her leg up... and drive it sharply to Couric's spine... "Why?!" Immediately followed up by her other leg, and then back to the first, and so on... using her speed she'd be unleashing an absolutely horrible flurry of strikes to Couric's spine... which, even with his saiyan endurance, will be crazily painful if he lets her keep it up. "I DON'T FIGHT LIKE THIS!!!!"

Couric grimaced as the attack collided with him, knocking him backwards. His arms were decently burned now, but it wasn't anything he couldn't handle...and it wasn't as bad as it would've been if it had hit him before he transformed.
/Shit...She has cover now...!/ The teen realized, only to feel something smash into his back and then another...
/Below!/ He thought, uttering a swear under his breath as he flipped backwards, aiming to slam his foot into the back of Julia's head as quickly as he could to send her flying forward, likely putting distance between the two as well causing quite a bit of damage to Julia. A bit of green had mixed into his aura as he flipped and when he kicked, but had dissipated immediately afterwards.

Julia barely had time to raise her arms up and cross them to defend against the kick, the force of which threw her down and forced a gap between herself and Couric anyway. She ended up doing a forward somersault from the force of impact, too, and landed to her feet after a quick spin to face him while she was still in mid air.
She backed away a few paces, and took a moment to look up at Couric, and think about things... "I don't care if he can handle me like this... I don't like the way I'm fighting..." Looking down at Julia, Couric may notice Julia actually looks... upset... conflicted... with something...

Couric faced Julia as he landed on the ground, shifting into another defensive stance, catching his breath for the moment to gain back some of the energy he had used up.
/She's fighting like viciously...but that isn't like her at all..But she's definitely pushing me to my limits while fighting that way./

Taking more time to recover, herself, she looks back at Couric, holding her right arm close at her side and her left reaching out very slightly forward, and both her hands open, and she says back... "Couric... I really don't mean to be fighting like this... but at least you're strong enough to take my attacks."

"I know...but sorry to say..." Couric began, recovering more of his energy, a childish smirk emerging in his expression.
"It's way too much fun fighting you this time around." He chuckled, keeping his guard up.

"Well, you would say that... wouldn't you? I don't know what it is with saiyans... I'm not comfortable at all like this. I'm afraid to attack you again. I don't want to..." Julia feels a fair portion of her energy built back up, and it's rising faster than Couric's due to her power not requiring any output of energy to sustain it.

"Yup." Couric said simply as he shot towards the android, deciding to go on the offensive this time, having a good idea of the android's speed now. And it wasn't anything he couldn't handle in this state. Drawing up a hand to fire off a few burst of ki towards her, he suddenly skidded to a halt while she was reacting to them by whatever manner she chose, the teen flipping to the side, pressing his hand on the ground and going for a kick to the side of Julia's head to knock her away. He knew this may not work, but he didn't want to waste too much energy...not yet, anyways.

Julia suddenly took a step back in reaction to Couric leaping forward, as she braced her stance... "Take control, Julia." The ki blasts come her way... "Aww I wish I could catch them like before..." She leaps up as her form of evasion, so they rush beneath her. This would mean the skid and kick method of Couric's wouldn't work... until she landed, which would be after a moment of levitation while she made sure the blasts weren't following her, and then a backward somersault while she shot back to keep the distance. "I still don't feel good about fighting back." "Wait a second..." She makes a realization, however... "I know exactly what's going on here..."

"Julia...I know how you feel, but...this is a fight. And you said you were going to come at me with all your strength." Couric told the android, still holding himself on one hand upside down.
"I know you're worried, but...I can handle myself against you!" He exclaimed, flipping upwards towards Julia, drawing his foot up over to slam it into Julia's head to knock her towards the ground, following that if it connected by letting himself fall so he could strike Julia with the same foot.
