Hearing Atsuko talk about the other masters she had at this "monastery" gave Kosho an idea of how close she was exactly to them. Maybe they knew whether or not she was a Saiyan. While it would be interesting to get to train under them, she did make a fair point that it might not do much for him. But...maybe, just maybe, I can find something out training under them or asking them questions about the King...Who am I kidding? Like they'd know about what's happening on a planet far outta their solar system. Still, Kosho would consider the offer. "Maybe I just might pay you a visit there, then? Who knows? Maybe I can find some strength or wisdom by interacting with 'em, and I'll take either one of those two possibilities."Just like he predicted, Kosho's attack didn't do a thing to Atsuko. In fact, here she was coming right at him, fist ready to punch right through him, practically. Smirking from excitement, Kosho was ready to put his next plan into action. Ki surging through his limbs, Kosho fired out of the blocks, sprinting straight towards Atsuko. Before they made contact, Kosho crouched down and leapt over her. Her fist still grazed Kosho's body, sending a sting throughout it that made the Saiyan get shivers. Damn, am I glad I didn't try to take that head on. Flipping over and facing Atsuko, Kosho charged and harnessed Ki into both of his arms, fists balled up. Juicing up his attack just a little more for added damage, Kosho wound his arms back, and threw them forward, unleashing an "X" shaped Ki blast from his arms. The Uraeus Fang traveled in that "X" formation, straight for its target, Atsuko. Regaining balance on the ground, Kosho also noticed Ki being harnessed into that sword of hers from his Ki Sense. He hadn't noticed it sooner, and the fact that she was multitasking like this made the Saiyan laugh with excitement. Amazing! She really is putting up an endless assault! Current HP: 100/140 (-1) Current PL: 70 Ki Pool: 95/100 Actions: Used Tier 2 Chimera Dash to avoid 11 damage from Atsuko's Unbreakable Will, suffered -1 damage; he's now behind Atsuko (1) Charging Tier 2 Uraeus Fang (10% - 15%) [1] Fires Tier 2 Uraeus Fang for 11 damage straight to Atsuko (1)

When Kosho mentioned that he might be able to find wisdom there... Now that was certainly true. But, she didn't have much time to comment on it due to the resulting exchange in combat that was taking place. He'd just have to wait for what she had to say about that after things began to slow down -- which may not happen for some time in this fight, considering how he tried a desperate evasion of her attack!
But she did still manage a glancing blow. But it was becoming apparent that the more this went on, he was trying his hardest to reduce the damage and open her up to counterattack. That's why it came as no surprise to her that he tried to fire in her blindspot. Atsuko responds by spinning around, unleashing her attack in the very same motion. That very same crescent wave flying towards his Uraeus Fang, and in turn towards him!
But she didn't stop with just that much, she begins to channel energy into her sword once more. She had to keep the pressure up on him, otherwise he could well take advantage of the fact that she was considerably injured, and her defenses were not like her offense.
Still, this brief lull in combat did allow her to finally say something to him. " You mentioned that my masters may be able to offer you wisdom -- and that is definitely true. The lessons they have to impart will prove most beneficial to you, if you have the patience to learn from them." It had all helped shape Atsuko into who she is today, every part of their lessons now like second nature to her. Kosho Actions: 1 - Fired Sword of Light @ Uraeus Fang, damage of 18 versus 11. Wins with 7 damage. 2 - Charging Holy Judgement, goes from 25% to 30% 3 - Charging Holy Judgement, goes from 30% to 35% HP: 25/120 Ki: 100/100

After noticing Atsuko charging her next attack after he'd unleashed his Uraeus Fang, Kosho had little to no expectations for his attack. If he'd noticed Atsuko charging her attack sooner, maybe he would have taken a different route to attack. Without a doubt, he needed to prepare for what came next. Atsuko unleashed her attack at Kosho, sending a crescent-shaped Ki wave similar to his own. Inhaling and exhaling, like he did when charging his Ouroboros not too long ago, the Saiyan harnessed Ki into one of his hands and stuck it out in a Proud Stand against Atsuko's attack. To his delight, he measured the strength of the attack precisely, and he was able to catch the whole attack without taking extra damage. Nice catch, Kosho. In the brief moment of stillness that Atsuko and Kosho had, she took the chance to respond to his previous statement, about the chance of him ganging wisdom from the masters at the monastery. If I had the patience to learn, huh? If I gotta do some kinda meditation or whatever, that would be boring, but it's a price I'll pay to get wisdom or strength. Pulling Atsuko's attack to his hip, he took this time to respond to the Knight. "Well, docile kinda activities aren't really my thing. If they're making me meditate or something along those lines, I won't be too excited about that, but it's to get me stronger or give me the knowledge I need to get stronger. So, all in all, I'll have more than enough patience to learn from your masters."With that being said, Kosho launched Atsuko's attack, albeit relatively weaker than it was before, back at her. With that momentum, he turned to his other side and started charging an Ouroboros with his other hand. "Ouroboros..."The green ball of Ki manifested itself in the Saiyan's hand, growing bigger and brighter as he charged it. Once Kosho was satisfied with the charge, he stuck out his hand in front of him and unleashed the green beam of Ki straight towards Atsuko, right behind her redirected attack. "HA!"This battle was dragging on pretty long. If it kept up like this, it would end up becoming nighttime without either one of them securing victory. Sure, Atsuko may be more injured than Kosho, but her strength at this point is enough to match the Saiyan's. With every action he makes, she does another that's as strong or stronger than Kosho's, forcing him to go on the defensive and look for an opening to put pressure. One thing was for certain, and that was despite being pressured by the sudden change of pace, neither one of the two warriors faltered. This led Kosho to think that calling it a draw at this point wasn't so bad, after all. Current HP: 100/140 Current PL: 70 Ki Pool: 90/100 Actions: Used Tier 2 Proud Stand to catch and redirect Atsuko's weakened Sword of Light, suffering no damage in the process (7 damage blocking and redirecting 7 damage) [1] Charged Tier 2 Ouroboros (10% - 15%) [1] Unleashed Tier 2 Ouroboros to Atsuko for 11 damage

After each exchange they had, it was slowly becoming clear; neither one of them could really injure the other. It resulted in minimal damage, or no damage. Still, the Knight wasn't going to give up quite yet, especially when she was in the middle of charging an attack like this. " Yeah. Most of their lessons are about meditation. Aligning your inner energies and the mastery of self." She explains in the next brief lull in their combat. " Still, I must give credit to whoever trained you, they knew what they were doing!" , Atsuko then adds. Kosho was by no means an inexperienced or incapable warrior. The fact that he was able to keep up with her even when there was a difference in how strong their attacks were was a hint to that.
As Kosho then fires off her redirected attack, Atsuko responds in kind by thrusting her sword forward, causing those familiar beams of light to rain out to collide against his attack, and then shoot towards him with their leftover energy! Still, Atsuko could already guess as to what was going to happen next. He would reduce this damage considerably, and no real progress would be made, and then he would attempt to break through her offense and put her on the back foot.
Sure enough, he unleashes his own attack. Atsuko utilizes Unbreakable Will to punch straight through and soar towards her opponent, but just as before she expected him to be able to minimize even this threat.
The dance could conceivably continue for awhile longer. But... Being honest here, what was the point of that? Neither of them were really interested in winning, and they didn't care about losing either. This was just to gauge how strong the other one was. She had plenty of time to start charging another attack, but instead, she decided to see how this last attack would play out. Not because she thought she would win, but because..." You know, as fun as the fight has been. I notice that we're more or less at a stalemate. Perhaps it is time that we agree to a draw?, the Saiyan then suggests to Kosho. Kosho Actions: 1 - Fired Holy Judgement @ Proud Stand's Redirection, damage of 21 vs 7, wins with 14 damage leftover! 2 - Unleashed Unbreakable Will @ Ouroboros damage of 15 vs 11, wins with 4 damage leftover! HP: 25/120 Ki: 100/100

Just as he'd expected, Atsuko revealed most of their lessons were taught through meditation. It's not like it was disappointing to hear, rather it was underwhelming to hear at first. However, the part about mastering your self by aligning your inner energies piqued Kosho's interest. Something about hearing that set something off within him and made him wonder about their methods. Well, it definitely doesn't hurt to try. This sounds very worth my while, and I have a feeling I'll come out with more than I'll anticipate for. Kosho stuck his hand out, harnessing his Ki throughout his body. His aura flared up, preparing to use a Kiai. In the next break in combat, Atsuko took that chance to compliment the Saiyan's upbringing in combat, saying his trainers did an excellent job in training him. A proud, yet determined smirk formed on his face, as he returned the compliment, and then some. "Your masters aren't too shabby themselves. They really know combat, even if they're centered on meditation. Just look at you! Besides, the only masters I really had were my parents. I just got involved in a lotta official and...unofficial fighting competitions. I'm just as battle hungry now as I was back on Patch."With a very familiar attack, Atsuko powered through her redirected attack with ease. That attack kept powering through straight towards Kosho, still with some power behind it. That wasn't the only thing barreling towards him. In addition to the beams of light coming at him, Kosho can clearly see Atsuko barreling towards him with her own attack, one that he barely avoided using his Chimera Dash. Smiling at the situation he had gotten himself in, he had to redirect his attention to the task at hand: charging Kiai. When he'd charged it enough, he used the technique on the beams of light coming right at him. "HYAAA!"Surging his Ki through the air in front of him, using his hand to concentrate and aim his Ki, he disrupted the beams of light coming right at him. The attack completely dissipated, leaving behind no traces or excess damage. Then, turning his attention to Atsuko, he took his next course of action: nothing. Kosho simply stood there and let Atsuko come right at him, landing her fist right into his chest. Being pushed back a little bit, his feet digging into the ground, the Saiyan grimaced in pain from the attack, then smirked and chuckled a bit. Standing up straight, Kosho met Atsuko's words with his own. "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. This fight is extremely fun, don't get me wrong. But, if we keep this up, there'll end up being no winner by the end of the day. So, yeah, I'm fine with calling this a draw, this was definitely a very fun and worthwhile fight."Looking around them, Kosho's smile quickly turned into a surprised frown. "Urk!"The ground around them was tattered, and you'd barely recognize this was a park with the amount of damage done. Letting out an embarrassed chuckle, the Saiyan slowly turned to his new friend, his eyes wide. "Well, it's not that bad, right? You think this place will be fine in, like, a few days, maybe?"Current HP: 96/140 (-4) Current PL: 70 Ki Pool: 85/100 Actions: Charged Tier 2 Kiai (10% - 20%) [2] Unleashed Tier 2 Kiai at Atsuko's Holy Judgement, blocking out the attack completely (1) Took -4 damage from Atsuko's Unbreakable Will (free)

Atsuko would then let out a calm laugh. True, most of their lessons were about meditation and finding inner peace... But they had other lessons, too. It was just that those combat lessons wouldn't do much for Kosho. Although maybe he could pick up some survival skills just like she had. " Not all of this was because of meditation. But it definitely helps to be able to attune yourself to your Ki." , the Saiyan admits.
And true to what she had come to expect from Kosho, he reacted to each of her attacks with enough strategy and flair to be able to reduce them to minimal damage, or nothing at all. Still, that didn't prove frustrating for her. It meant that she really needed to improve herself, and Kosho probably felt the same way about how things were going on his end. No matter what action they took, they had an answer for each thing. And at the end of the day, she wasn't going to find out any more about this power by dragging the fight out.
So it was good that Kosho agreed to let the fight end in a draw. If they kept it up, MAYBE they could have discovered some kind of winner to the fight, but... It really wouldn't be worth it. " Yeah. Plus it's just as important to let the body rest after a good workout." Although... Kosho then pointed out that the park was kind of a mess now. They really did get into that fight, didn't they? She just felt bad about what had happened to it now. " I think I'll try fixing it up. Maybe I can ask Rumia for help..." She muses on that for a moment. " Although there's nothing we can really do now... I guess we should just clear out and find something to eat for now." Kosho

Atsuko plainly stating that not all of her progress was just through meditation made Kosho feel a little...dumb. Not in a bad way, though. He simply overlooked that fact. It would be interesting to meet someone who got stronger solely through meditation. Thinking about it a little more, Kosho wondered if there was a way to train inside one's mind. Maybe her masters know something about that? I mean, she did mention they did a lotta training using meditation. After Atsuko returned her hand to herself, Kosho massaged his chest a little bit, afterwards doing the same to his shoulders. His body was feeling pretty sore from the fight he just had. Even if he didn't get too damage, his muscles were on fire. This felt great to the young Saiyan.
"Well said, Atsuko." Kosho distinctively remembers Atsuko saying something like that to him not too long ago, during their battle. He wondered what kind of effect it'd have for the Knight that he'd be using her own words to compliment her. In response to his comment about the whole park getting destroyed, Atsuko said something that confused Kosho a bit. She mentioned something about a "Rumia." Puzzled, the Saiyan scratched his head, thinking about what it could mean. "Rumia?" What's a "Rumia"...And how can she fix all this with that? That was a question for a different time.
One thing was for certain: there was really nothing they could do about it right now, just like Atsuko said. Taking the initiative to their departure, Kosho went to pick up his tattered armor, which was now in even more tatters. Shoulda expected that to happen. Oh, well. It do be like that sometimes. Dropping the armor, he returned to Atsuko quickly, agreeing with her idea. "Yeah, food sounds pretty good right about now. I can go for some...anything really. If you don't mind, can I come with you for some?" If the Knight allowed Kosho to come with her, he'd give her a smile and a thumbs up, all while thanking her. "Thanks! Although, we'll have to find a place that allows me to walk in without a shirt." If she declined, he'd tell her not to sweat it, and so mention to himself that he'd need to find a place that offers service without a shirt, after saying his farewells to Atsuko. Nevertheless, Kosho would make his way out of the park, not bothering to look back at the damage they'd caused. His mind wasn't ready to look at all that again.

Atsuko couldn't help but smile as Kosho returned the compliment in a very similar way to something she had said earlier. Despite whatever differences may exist between them, Kosho was a good man with a good heart. The Knight would continue to view him with respect, and would be eager to work with him again in the future. Who knows, she might need that kind of strength on her side, given those assassins murdering the Knights of Yama...
Although as a result of the intense battle, not only had the park been torn up, but his armor had been ruined too. " Ah... It's a shame about your armor. You can get a replacement, I hope?" , she asks, hoping that this wouldn't put him too out of order. Sure, the fight was fun, but she knew how inconvenient it was to lose clothing as a result of it. Especially if it happened to be your favorite...
That being said, Kosho didn't seem to be down in the dumps for too long. Instead, he was eager to find something to eat and was willing to come along. " Certainly, you can accompany me. Even if we can't find a restaurant that would allow you to enter, I'm sure we can go hunting for something to cook up over a campfire." All in all... It wasn't a bad ending for herself or for Kosho. Atsuko's thoughts did turn to Asmoskon for a moment, however. That guy could end up being trouble later. But if he really wanted to prove his innocence, this was probably his last chance to do so.
But, no sense in bringing up such a heavy topic now. Now, it was time to eat and celebrate! Soon after that, the pair of Saiyans set off from the park. Atsuko reminds herself that she REALLY needs to ask Rumia for help in fixing all that... Kosho [EXIT THREAD]

Random encounter? More like RAMEN encounter! Heeheehee! Terrible jokes aside, this was an INSANE thread! Five whole pages! It'll be a while before we see threads match this level of power! All three of you really blew me away with your combat skills. Onto the rewards! Asmoskon your powerful show of force has earned you a whopping 36 PL and 3,400 zenny! Atsuko Kosho Your absurd endurances have earned each of you 72 PL (Sweet mother of kami!!!) and 4,000 zenny! As Asmoskon unfortunately had to drop out of the battle eaely, his gains haven't reached those same heights, but don't be mistaken, you displayed some great writing here! A major improvement from your first thread that you should definitely be proud of. All three of you did spectacularly and rhe only errors that are immediately apparent are a few typos, but nothing worthy of note!
