By now, Couric should notice that Nai's attacks aren't doing much to his body, given his Saiyan advantage of sheer endurance. He might soon catch on to the fact that Namekians are very difficult to outclass in pure hand to hand combat, with their limb speed and flexibility.
Nai finishes his flurry by reeling his kicking foot back and sending it right into Couric's block. This won't hurt Couric whatsoever actually, it'll just send him flying back through the air (push/pull). Nai then digs his foot into the ground and as Couric goes back, Nai's foot will emerge from the ground and kick Couric up into the air from the butt. He'd bring his foot back immediately and finish the combo by throwing his palm forward at Couric, releasing an uncharged light grenade that'll just harm him at best.
Although if the first kick misses, Nai will snap it back immediately, now allowing it to be caught, and he'll be ready to defend.

A bit surprised that the kick sent him flying backwards so easily, he dropped the block, facing Nai. Catching himself in mid-air, he noticed that the Namekian's foot had disappeared into the soil itself. And just as he watched the Namekian, floating forward a few inches, he felt something scrape against his back, having just been a tad off from actually kicking his ass into the sky. Immediately he spun around, catching a glimpse of...NAI'S FOOT!?
"WHAT THE HELL!?" He shot back, spinning around to look at Nai, eyes big as dinner plates, mouth slightly agape. The teen had obviously not expected that at all.

"Ah yes... Last time we fought I didn't use any of my Namekian skills." Nai says. He then swipes his arm forward at Couric, and he'll suddenly notice Nai's hand just be centimeters away from smacking him across the face. This will be too fast for Couric to catch anyway, but Nai is just demonstrating. In the next moment his arm is back to normal.

The smack hadn't even been all that close to hitting Couric, but his hand still reached up to his face, jaw hanging down a few inches, eyes still wide as dinner plates. It was obvious that the teen had never seen something like this before.
"B-bu-but....you're over there...an-and I'm...ov-over here..so how the hell can you reach me!?"

"Watch."
Nai this time sends his arm forward at Couric, letting it extend slowly. It'll come within three feet of his face, before slowly retracting back.
"We can stretch and contract our limbs."

Even with that explanation in mind, it still freaked the young Saiyan right the fuck out. But he regained his nerve, a sweatdrop rolling down the back of his head.
/He can stretch all this length!? How the heck am I supposed to fight a stretchy guy like that!?/ Was the only thing the teen was thinking at that exact moment, eyes returning to their normal size.

Nai points his finger at Couric. Gathering a little bit of energy, Nai fires four finger rays, all aimed at different points. One was aimed between the eyes, two at both knees and one in the stomach. They won't be much for Couric's saiyan endurance, but since Nai's hitting weak spots, they'll cause some burning.
He could dodge it easily anyway if he wanted to. But Nai just wants Couric to make a move.

His eyes still on Nai, he noticed the Namekian pointing his fingers at him, eyes widening a bit as he thought that the warrior was about to unleash a technique he knew very well. Flying upwards, he managed to evade the rays of energy, a sweatdrop rolling down the back of his head as he realized the attack wasn't the one he expected.
/Finger beams...?/

Couric would be looking at a mirror image, which Nai cleverly left some of his ki behind with. He'd appear behind Couric, back turned towards him and above him in the air. He'd backflip, slamming his feet into the back of Couric's head in an attempt to slam him right down to the ground. It wouldn't really hurt him, of course, but still send him down.

The teen had noticed Nai's ki signal move behind him far too late, eyes widening as the Namekian's feet connected with the top of the young Saiyan's head. Couric was sent plummeting towards the ground, catching himself on his hands and knees. bounding off them towards Nai almost immediately. He fired off a single blast to increase the speed at which he was flying towards the Namekian, aiming to ram right into Nai's stomach with his head as quickly as he possibly could, a red aura burning around him for a second. Whether he connected or not, the aura would disappear almost immediately, the young Saiyan feeling a bit of internal pain from the use of the technique. The sudden boost in speed might just catch Nai off guard.

Nai cross arm blocks as Couric comes in, and the kaioken catches him completely off guard. The attack hurts his guard more than he anticipated, and he gets sent up through the air, flipping backwards constantly. Soon, he's surrounded by a magenta aura as he flips, and he bursts at Couric this time with the same increase in speed. He does a few backflips as he flies forward, ending with an uppercut kick up through the chin after the last flip which would take him just within reach.
After the kick, whether it lands or not, he'd use his kaioken to bring him back five or so feet as he backdashes back, leaving behind a trail of magenta energy. He'd feel the burn of kaioken too...

Despite having been told by Shen that Nai had learned the Kaio-ken technique at some point, Couric was surprised by its use. Drawing his arms up in a cross defense to protect himself, the kick smashed into his arms and caused the young Saiyan to get knocked backwards through the air, 'skidding' to a halt. His arms stung a bit from the strike.
"So...You can do it too, huh?"

"Yeah. It's too useful of a technique to pass up. It's already gotten me out of some tight spots. I imagine there's some more warriors out there with it," Nai says. "Have you come across any?"
Nai regathers a bit of his stamina this turn, letting his body recover a little more from the kaioken.

"Only one other with a technique like it besides your friend, Shen...And Shen's told me you know that person well enough." Couric replied, the burn from Kaio-ken having all but faded into his memory. Sure, it had hurt, but the short use of it made it so that it wasn't all that bad. He was waiting for the Namekian's next move, thinking of what he could do.

"Oh?" Nai asks, very curious now. "Is he a Saiyan, like you?" He then asks.
Nai starts gathering some of his ki now, as he awaits Couric's response. He has a feeling he knows who it is.

"Yup. Cajabe." He responded rather quickly, gathering his own energy in preparation for some random technique. he wasn't about take any chances with Nai. He wondered just what Nai was gathering ki for...

"Hm... That'll be good to keep in mind in case we do meet," Nai says. With the energy he's gathered, he folds his hands and channels all the energy there, the white aura around him slowly moving in to his hands. Then he throws his palms forward, unleashing a white light grenade towards Couric.

/Guess I'll have to trade damage.../ He thought, drawing his hands up, cupping them as an orb of energy formed between them. He thrust his hands towards Nai, unleashing a decently sized wave of energy to counter the Light Grenade. But instead of struggling against it, the beam split apart and went around the 'grenade' of energy, making its way towards Nai. It may be weakened a bit by this, but the same would happen to Nai's Light Grenade as it forced its way through the section that remained whole, smashing into the young Saiyan.

Seeing the eclipse cannon make its way around the light grenade, Nai breaks his concentration and rockets up higher into the air, not wanting to trade off damage since it won't work in his favor. He then jets down towards Couric, but once he gets within his arm's reach, he puts his arm out at Couric's face and unleashes just a wave of ki. It has the strength of a full punch, but spread over the wave with an added burning sensation.

Couric was knocked backwards by the force of Light Grenade, wincing in pain as he caught himself in mid-air. When he looked up, he'd notice the Namekian approaching. Immediately he drew his hands up into a defensive cross, his arms absorbing the wave of ki, burning a bit thanks to that and the Light Grenade. Reaching up with his left to grab on Nai's arm as quickly as he could, he'd pull back so Nai was dragged forward, punching at Namekian's stomach with his right twice.

As Couric tries to grab Nai's arm, he'll notice it suddenly bend out of the way, and wrap around his wrist. Nai would then unwrap it, and rocket himself downwards, stopping right above the water. He floats, his feet barely touching the water as he looks up at Couric if he doesn't come down already.

Couric blinked, somehow not at all surprised by the fact that Nai's arm could move as it did. After all, he was stretching it like it was nothing, so the teen figured that Namekians had no bones. He shot down after Nai as he descended, foot aimed to smash right into the green warrior's face to knock him into the water. He wasn't really going for over complicated right now, wanting to save up his energy to make this spar last for a while.

Nai raises his arms to cross arm block the foot and he gets sent down, but not all the way into the water. As he blocks, there's enough of a force so that water around them goes flying all over the place. Still guarding, Nai backflips, hoping to hit the Saiyan in the back with his feet and send him across the water.

Unfortunately for Nai, he had forgotten that he wasn't the only one with a racial advantage that could be actively used in battle. As Nai's feet moved towards the young Saiyan's back, his tail would unwrap from his waist and extend out to wrap around Nai's feet. Couric would then roll forward to bring Nai up over his head and slam him back first into the water, letting go once the Namekian hit.
Back flop, anyone?

Nai wasn't expecting Couric to use his tail, and thus gets slammed, back first into the water. Ouch. As he hits the water, his ki signal drops to unsenseable amounts. Yeah, Nai's planning something. Or just trying to realize what the heck just happened, because he didn't exactly see Couric use his tail.

Couric watched the water carefully, noticing that Nai's energy signal had disappeared completely. /That's bad....If I don't keep my guard up, he could end this match quickly.../ He realized, floating up several feet, scanning the water's surface for any signs of movement.

Couric would then sense Nai's ki. But it would be pretty far away. Nai will appear quite a bit behind him.
His tail. That had to be it. Looks like he has a fifth limb for combat.
Nai dashes forward along the water, leaving behind huge waves of water. He fires his arm out, releasing a shockwave that'll hopefully knock Couric off balance. While he's off balance, Nai will change his position and position himself in a sliding kick position to try and trip Couric. He'd then backflip kick immediately afterwards to try and slam him into the water.

/Behind!/ Couric turned around in time to see Nai thrust his hand towards him, far too late for the teen to react in time to move out of the way. So the invisible burst slammed into his stomach, causing him to go flying backwards. Expecting that the Namekian may try to do as he had done last, Couric drew his up into a defensive cross, only to be swept off his feet....which didn't really matter in mid-air. The cross did nothing to help as Nai's foot smashed into his back and sent him for a quick dive, the young Saiyan catching himself a good distance down, suppressing his energy just as Nai had.
/He's really thinking through before he attacks...and considering his stretching limbs, he's definitely got the advantage in close combat.../

Nai elevates himself roughly fifteen feet up in the air, and he floats there with his arms crossed. He's curious as to what Couric will do in the same situation. His ears are finely attuned to the environment around him, being a Namekian and all.

/I can't stay down here the whole day trying to think of what to do...or else I'll drown./ He folded his arms across his chest, continuing to stare up in the direction he could sense Nai's ki coming from. Almost immediately, an idea popped into his head, resisting the urge to grin. He held his hands up towards Nai, firing off a shockwave that would likely miss the Namekian before spinning and firing off several bursts of energy to follow it that would also purposely miss Nai and then come rushing towards him, each exploding on contact. As his blasts shot towards Nai, the young Saiyan swam upwards at an angle, suppressing his energy quickly.
