GYM DX: Alien Braw
A young man would wander the city streets, he looks... Rather confused all things considered. Dressed in a simple t-shirt and jeans, he'd walk into a back alley with a curious look on his face upon seeing the telltale GYM sign.
"Huh, well this is where the locals say weirdos gather so maybe I can figure out something useful by coming here? Out of the frying pan into another dimension is about all I know now, but what kind of dimension is this place..."
He'd walk into the building with a slight shrug while keeping his left hand placed on a watchlike device over his right wrist. He seems to be the only one here for the moment, but that's no reason to get careless while in an entirely new world that he knows nothing about.
He'd also take a moment to glance around, seeing a fighting ring, some sort of computer that he can only assume is for VR fighting maybe. And... An unmanned juice bar, dang what a shame.
"Awww, I coulda gone for something to drink. Oh well, guess there isn't much to do besides wait for the moment."
He'd do just that, taking a seat on a bench while absently eyeing the doors and pondering what to even ask about this strange new world.
The air temperature would begin to drop as a woman mysteriously appeared behind the juice bar. She was dressed in all red with strangely dark colored skin. She'd speak in an echoing tone.
"Something to drink? I can offer you something cold..."
The bar would soon have ice begin forming over it as she began to chuckle to herself. Meanwhile, a man would be standing just outside of the entrance listening in and laughing quietly.
[Kazuo was already inside of the building, wearing his usual white dressing shirt with a long coat and hat. He was sitting by the side of the arena so he saw the new guy before he was seen himself. He was actually waiting for someone or anyone to do what he needed. He really just needed more power, and a way to let go of his tension from the past few days.]
Hey, I've never seen you before.
You new around here? My name is Kazuo.
[He approaches Ben calmly, with an ample smiling face.]
He'd stare over at the woman curiously, that's... Strange, alien tech? Some form of magic? Maybe just a race he's never seen before, whatever the case is...
"Sure, sounds good! Just a soda or something is cool if ya got any."
As for Kazuo, Ben would smile back for a moment while sizing the young man up. Not to mention taking a moment to think if he should explain exactly how new he is... Doesn't seem too likely to hurt though, right?
"Hah, new is one way of putting it. Believe or not I kind of just, crashed into the city in general yesterday actually. It's a long story though so I won't bore you with the details man, and the name's Ben here."
He'd offer the boy a handshake while absently keeping an eye on that strange woman behind the juice bar. Something about her seems a bit off, but eh. That doesn't mean she's awful or anything.
The man with a sigh would walk in and signal to the woman who would actually start pouring out a soda...Of course the only soda available would be Amrita Soda: Lawful Lemon. The drink would be left on the counter as the woman would break apart into reflective shards that would simply disappear upon touching the ground.
The man would simply remain calm with an almost knowing smile.
"Seems like we've got another weirdo whose unphased by things."
"My school made everyone who attended go to a meeting. I'm so not in the mood for that."
{A teenage girl clears her throat in order to try and make herself look obviously present. She looked at everyone with a dull-eyed stare before going over towards the bar, flipping her long, blue hair back and crossing her legs when she sits in the stool. Her and her oversized jacket obviously doesn't fit in, but she doesn't seem to care either as she steals the soda for herself and drinks it while judging everyone present silently.}
[He would accept Ben's handshake as he takes in his story. He notices the bizarre watch and immediately assumes this can only mean he cannot take anything from him right away. Of course, he didn't even know if this one Ben could fight. Chances are, he probably can and quite well.]
We all have long stories, it's okay, this place in general is-
[He would notice the girl then by his side as he lets go of Ben's hand.]
I... didn't see you when I came here, when did you show up?
[Then it was the next person. He knew this was Sanana, the girl he had met way before. Even so, he would merely wave at her.]
Hey, I thought you died back then, sorry I couldn't check up on you. I had to...
Well, let's just say I couldn't go back.
[He wasn't lying, he couldn't go back because he was too busy escaping with the sword they were supposed to salvage.]
A little girls walks into the GYM, tensely gripping her staff with a pensive look on her face. She then lightens up, her radiant shine being enough to make anyone that stares at it uncomfortable. After a moment of sizing the place up, she casually approaches Kaz and leans her staff against the wall.
"Oh, hey, Kaz. Been a few days since I've seen you. Is this one of the buildings you go to?"
She smiles and tilts her head, looking up at Kaz.
Ben would chuckle a bit while walking over to grab the soda, the woman vanishing into shards like that is... Mildly concerning but not much to be done about it.
"Hah, everyone has long stories huh? Makes sense to me, just from what little I've seen so far about this place it seems... Very strange by most standards, I've probably seen weirder over the years though."
He'd laugh a bit at that thought, probably is underselling it a bit all things considered.
"And yo there lady, name's Ben. Also I'm curious, this place seems more set up for fighting than actually working out by my guess. Am I right on that one?"
He'd fold his arms over each other while looking around the room, yeah this place for sure doesn't feel like anything designed to do mere aerobics or something. Either way, he just absently sips at the soda with a grin for now.
{Sana, in fact, does indeed remember him. In fact, she remembers enough to roll his eyes at him, let out a sigh, and drink some soda while sizing him up as she listens to what he says to her. As soon as he finishes, she throws it near him and gets up from her seat.}
"Yeah, I can tell. As if that wasn't obvious. I always knew you were a hoe but I didn't expect a backstabbing hoe on top of it."
{As Sana looks into the light Sunny D orange juice brings up, she immediately looks at her with another dead glare. Though, her speaking to Kazuo made her feel intrigued as well. Slightly. She didn't let it show, she was too busy insulting someone. Even if someone just greeted her, all she does is clear her throat once again and focus solely on Kazuo.}
"Boy do you love social networking. With a child too. You know, you can impress 5 year olds easily. That person that just waved to me probably has the retention span of a dead fly, so how about a fight? I want to catch up after you, you know, ditched me."
The man would ignore the woman that everyone was addressing. It was creepy how she just seemed to appear. He'd go off into a corner and begin tinkering with a small pocket mirror.
"I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see anything. You kids have fun or whatever."
Ah- Asami? What are you doing here all of a sudden?
[he was genuinely surprised she was there, but the rule of his keeps on giving: The weird attract the weird, again and again. All he needed now was for Sen to show up and then things could really get more awkward. He didn't even want to face her after their last meeting. He would shake his head and focus.]
Yes, I usually come here to watch but... this time I'm actually looking to fight for a bit.
A friendly spar.
[He was about to suggest fighting Ben in fact, but then Sana would get in the way.]
Hey, you knocked yourself out. If you didn't act like you did you would've been fine.
I got the sword, by the way.
[He would move his coat to the side, revealing the rapier inside its sheathe.]
But if you want to fight, I don't mind going a single round.
Might as well warm up before I fight someone that's stronger. It's the least I can do, after all I did abandon you.
[He would keep his serious demeanor as he makes his way to the arena calmly. Whoever it was he was going to fight, they better hurry up.]
But if I win, I get to continue right away.
No resting for me. If I end up injured, Asami can help me, right?
[He would smile at the shiny girl before fully making his way to the arena.]
"Actually, Kaz..."
She would confidantly smirk at the young boy, bringing her staff down and holding it horizontally in both hands. It would become weightless, allowing her to point it at Kaz with one hand like a sword.
"I came here for the same reason."
She would wait for Kaz to make his way before following herself, standing on the opposite side of the arena. Her clothes change to a golden hue.
"That is, if you'll accept."
{As Kazuo throws in a reasonable response in the air, Sana ignores it and rolls her eyes once again at him, nonverbally judging him even more as he tosses his coat to the side, uncovering his rapier as if it was the cure to cancer. She giggles before pulling the sleeves down from her oversized jacket.}
"And just like you throw away everything else, you throw away the one thing that made you noticeable. Your hobo jacket. Surely we're all at a deep silence for that dirt coat getting tossed to the ground like that."
{She casually walks towards the arena, whistling as she clicks her pink heel boots, showing off her blue sweater that hides her pink skirt. Truly a teenage girly girl that seems more fit in a shopping mall than the battlefield. Even so, she acts as if Kazuo isn't any better.}
"And if I win, I'm taking that sword from you instead. Since you went through some stupid lengths just to get it. Maybe I'll let that preschooler that follows you around help me heal too. Or whatever. Though I might be giving off a bad first impression. After all, you must be a great role model."
{Sana stands with one hand on her hip, side eyeing everyone else, especially her supposed newfound team member before breathing out. She takes a bottle of perfume that looks fancy and sprays it on her, giving her a lavender aroma and some gases that almost seem to linger a bit too long. She twirls her hair and yawns, looking boredly at her forced opponent.}
"Make the first move. Use that sword, your magic, your lies, I don't care. I'm getting bored just looking at you. If worst comes to worst I'm using this 5 year old as a meatshield since she also seems to want to fight you as well."
A fight huh? Ben would take a seat again and just begin watching the two curiously.
"Oh you two are gonna spar? Neat, well I don't exactly have anything better to do so I suppose I'll watch. Might go a round myself if one of you is up for it after that ends though."
He'd smirk a bit while looking down at the Omnitrix, absently flicking through the device's holographic display... Upon seeing the other girl ask to fight him as well though, Ben would snap his fingers and stand up. Walking over to the ring with a curious look.
"So, we've got four people here wanting to fight. How about a two vs two then? Kazuo and I vs you girls, it'll be fun. Probably. "
One of the girls specifically wanted to fight Kazuo of course, the other... Well she just annoyed him honestly so Ben isn't about to work with her. No Kaz suits him just fine out of everyone here.
"I'll warn you two though, this watch of mine is a lot more dangerous than it looks at first glance. Better bring your A game to keep up with it."
W-What...? What's up with you Asami all of a sudden.
[He was taken by surprise by the sudden challenge, he would consider Sana's words. Why would he give away his sword? He would never, unless it meant he could get something far better. At this point, he knew he was out of his current league. HIs powers were strong, yes, but they build up slowly at first, and knowing Sana, that would be annoying already. But then, Ben would suggest a team tag battle. He would look at the two girls and then at his companion.]
I think we might as well, I see no reason to stop if we all want the same thing.
Just a warning, that girl, Sana? She can control vibrations and become a real pain in the ass, since she can target the area of effect. I have a counter against it, but there is no telling if she can do anything else.
Asami can heal, but I don't know what else she can do.
[Kazuo would then crack his knuckles while a black void is summoned above him, to the front.]
Imaginary 3.0 - Lawful Blades.
[A massive sword no human being could ever wield falls and thrust itself on the ground. It was too heavy, too long and thick to even be considered as sword, it was more like crude, massive hunk of iron that would need a being with massive physical strength to even move.]
I can fight from a distance; I just need some time before I can show you what I can really do.
If you have any means to get up close, you should pressure them.
[Kazuo would hide behind the massive sword, thinking what to do next. He was forced to take it slow.]
"So, you're playing that game, huh?"
Asami laughs, tensing up her body as she places her staff upright.
"Alright, partner, I have an idea. See that sword? It'll make it difficult to attack without getting around it. We'll have to make them get close. Stay near me, my spell will take some time to complete."
She takes her hands of the staff, it remaining upright. Instead, she holds both her arms up in a Y-pose, reciting latin as a fiery energy beams through her eyes.

{Sana, who has been playing with a nail file ever since a team battle was agreed on, was late to the party, seeing everyone already make their move. She sighs as she analyzes the situation. Two people that are already trying to set something up, 1 weird geek that likes to transform into his fursonas and her, the normal one.}
"Isn't this annoying. This would have been so much easier if it was just me and him but the girl just had to get in the way of that. Oh well, multi-tasking isn't that hard."
{She throws away her nail file off to the side like Kazuo did with his jacket, in which the sound it makes doesn't vibrate at all. Rather, it echoes, all across the battlefield. A simple sound of a tap, that which would make everyone that hears it, not including herself, feel aroused in a sense. Right afterwards, the girl takes her perfume and sprays it over to her team member.}
"Figure out a way to deal with that that doesn't involve me carrying you, child. I'll be over there in a second while you two have a playdate."
{She says, the cloud of perfume actually going in a shockingly fast speed towards Asami, both of which cover her and obstruct Ben from knowing what she's doing at all, only giving a slight silhouette of her actions. The longer Asami stays, the more rejuvanated and relaxed she feels, as if her senses were being stimulated. However, if Ben were to even try to get a whiff of the perfume, it would be like inhaling a large dose of burnt chemicals that were mystified.}
{Right afterwards, she walks slowly over towards the two, flicking her wrist and sending out a very small shockwave of sound that would never even come close to what she's produced before, one that aims straight towards the sword Kazuo summoned. If it were to hit anything, that thing would feel a slight vibration, like it was a mini earthquake that would rumble a bit.}

Ooc: Asami we can do two things in one post because I did it first
[The perfume and the small vibration. It seemed like she wasn't holding back. Kazuo had no idea what was going on within the area or what Asami was planning, but he figured they think he's only using it as a shield. They are of course right, for the moment.]
Thank you, Sana. You are aiding me with this one. As long as I have this number, you cannot do anything to me.
Imaginary 4.0 - Do Re Might!
[The vibrations Sana previously sent would be absorbed by Kazuo's white aura, making his movements way slower but almost absolutely protected against any impact. Currently, it was at Level 1. However, he still had the time to make one other move. He was away from all danger and any vibration Sana could send would do nothing to him, especially if he was resting against the bigger sword, ready to absorb any other vibration.]
If she has something like that perfume, then my best is the one with wings. I can worry about Uktena later.
Lawful Blades!
[This time two extremely long blades fall from above, being thrust into the floor like the bigger one. He found himself enjoying the situation, because it was going to turn to his favor very quickly.]
Just a bit more.
Thank you, Ben, your versatile power is more than appreciated.
Asami's face would become red, her teeth gritting from the impact. She would be in Ben's arms for a moment before bellowing, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Hasn't anyone told you not to hit a girl!"
Her naturally high body temperature coupled with her reaction would prove too much for Ben to handle, causing significant burns on his hands as if he just touched a stovetop that was set on high. This would allow her to easily set herself up and walk towards her staff, picking it up.
"And you!"
She would angrily glare at Sana
"We work together or not at all!"
As her first action, she swings the staff diagonally, hitting her partner in the cheek with the flat side of the circular top. Being as it was metal and quite large, this would hurt quite a bit. She would then sigh, setting the staff upright again and finishing her incantation, energy now beaming into the top of the staff. As for her second action, the energy would release all at once, resulting in a large vibrant cylindrical light engulfing a fourth of the arena with the staff at the center.
"Kaz won't be able to hit us from where he's standing, so focus on the flash for now!"
"You know that perfume was sprayed for an actual reason right? I'm not heartless, but now I know you're very stupid. Ugh, learn something for once."
{Sana raises her arm up, first to block and bunt away the strike of the staff that came to her, and then used the same hand to snap her fingers, the perfume that let itself into Asami's system now stimulating her senses once more. Her brain practically bends itself to it's will as she feels as reinvigorated as she had once started out, her body making itself forget about the damage it took and the spell it casted. Now the same spell can be used once more if need be.}
"I also hope you know that Kazuo can't attack us for another actual reason. It's because he doesn't want to. Do you even see him right now? He's setting up something right now. That's right. He's not attacking because he's probably going to try and summon something again. Or were you too stupid to know those types of people exist?"
{The girl said, slyly spraying more perfume straight towards her face, so that her body can ingest it once more. Sana glares at Kazuo before merely glancing at Ben, looking back at Asami with a smirk. Whether she gets grabbed or not, either way she waves towards her with the only intended purpose to mock the girl.}
"Hope you remember how the perfume works. Not like I needed to tell you anything, your body did by itself."
{With a dead glare, she raises her arm up once again, taking note of how his agility gets hampered. The teenage girl merely giggles before she snaps her fingers, now speaking in an extremely condescending tone to insult his intelligence. The vibration willingly traveling towards Kazuo. Of course, this vibration was at least powerful enough to reach Ben, the metal heaping hunk of trash can, as well, but she wasn't very interested in him. At the very least, Ben in his current form would feel the vibrations all throughout his body, vibrating and tingling to make his vision shaky, and to overall just make it look like an earthquake was happening inside of him.}
[As expected, the vibrations would simply be absorbed by Kazuo's white aura and raise Do Re Might's Vibration Field to Level 2. It's not like he needed it, but it was a nice thing to have.]
You have that right, Sana! I was not waiting for just any reason.
I will now show you what I can do properly.
Lawful Blades!
[Normally, four blades would be released, but he only used two, leaving two (2) in the Blade Stock, which he can use later on top of any other release without wasting time using Lawful Blades. He would then move from behind the giant sword to the side. He would look at both girls with a smile of superiority.]
I will show you the meaning of power, but do not think this is even the end of it!!
Imaginary 2.0 - Deep Transmigration!!
[Red markings would cover Kazuo's body as the take hold of his very own Vibration Field and impact all five previously summoned blades, completely morphing the metal in strange shapes. Slowly but surely, all the swords and vibration would begin to take the form of a giant bird of prey without eyes and sharp edges all over. It looked somewhat skeletal and its beak could cut even diamond if it tried to. The red markings would bind the body of the creature as Kazuo leaps on the back of it.]
I call upon your name, Bearer of the Mark!
Manifestation of anger, rise to the skies above!!
IMAGINARY 2.43 - DEEP DOREMI HAWK!!
[It lets out a lion-like roar, like an extremely loud shriek resonating all over the area. Kazuo would stay on top of it, looking down on everyone there. The flap of the beast's wings alone was enough to get rid of the perfume. For as long as Hawk flew around the area, the effect of the perfume would be lowered by 60%.]
What do you think of my “Chequa”?
This familiar of mine is but the tip of the iceberg!
Alex slid in sneakily and decided he wanted to watch. He had just come from darkforge, and had his gun serviced, and he was ready for another brawl. He just needed to find one, and somehow got here. Wonderful, just as planned. sorta.
He took a seat somewhere within comfortable viewing distance of the action and watched, it reminded him of the arena of his homeland, but more flashy.
He also did not expect Kazuo to have magic powers. That was scary.
(edited by Alex_The_Returned)
Asami would glare at Ben determinedly, shaking her head.
"Yeah, but you don't have to be so rough! I'm just a kid, you know? By the way, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Ben!"
Asami's attack would be blocked but the hand of her partner would be that much the worse for wear, as if she fell on a hard concrete floor and held her hands out towards it as she did.
As well, her current fiery attitude and burn the perfume out of the air, allowing Kaz's summon to completely obliterate it when used in tendem, which Asami had notice out of the corner of the eye as she took a giant leap into the air to evade Ben's grasp. Once in the air, she shouts.
"Horus!"
A shining avian would materialize from the light, possessing a radiance in much lesser magnitude than Asami and which caught her in the air, flying her up to Kaz's level.
"Uhh, Kazzie... you might not wanna do that. If you keep flying that way, you'll..."
Should Kazuo fail to heed the child's warning and approach the group, his creature would hit the light as if it was a brick wall (more acurately, a semi-permeable membrane), most likely ejecting the rider violently. Should that happen, Asami would have her own steed fly under the boy to be able to catch him in the air as well. Otherwise, she would sit back and watch intently.
"Mind a fifth?" Alex shouted loudly, before going prone, protecting himself with an enchanted shield wall, made by a suddenly appearing squad of elite skeleton soldiers, Alex's personal favorites. Any attack hitting the magic wall would fizzle out, doing nothing, and after a very short time, enough so he woudn't instantly get destroyed, the wall would burn out too.
At the same time, Alex prepared another action, sending the rest of his forces of undead under the ground, to simply lie in wait, ready for more maneuvres.
"I'm Alex, by the way."
"Have pity on me for like, three seconds."
(edited by Alex_The_Returned)
"I am surrounded by idiots. Truly a spectacle to behold during this day and age."
{Sana looked at her hand after she blocked the staff, having no reaction at all as she silently pondered in her head and thought for a second, not letting the lion roar from a bird of all things phase her. Though her train of thinking just has to be interrupted by Ben ruining everything once again. His hentai tentacles did in fact grab onto Sana, but the attempt at slamming into the ceiling was only met with Sana casually blowing a raspberry at the ghost thing.}
{After the impact that was supposed to take place from the slamming, Sana was gone from the ghost's grasp, only leaving Ben with a weak cut on his tentacle that actually smelled a bit funny if he took a closer inspection. The girl then used the perfume injected in her system to forget that she was hurt at all and was grabbed, now appearing back on the floor. She only hopes Asami can do sort of the same thing as she sprayed perfume once more at the ghost, hoping Ben gets distracted to do anything about it.}
"Asami, while you're up there, attack..."Kazzie" until I tell you to stop. His absorption is annoying, and he might do it to you too. I can deal with whoever this loser is unless he keeps harassing you. At that point just file charges."
[The Hawk would stop before hitting anything, and Kazuo would not lose balance not even once. It was clear that Kazuo, unless he willed it so or the bird fell, he would not fall, almost like he was a part of the bird. The Hawk would hover above as he stared back at Asami.]
You never really told me your age or why you wanted to fight me.
Did you get lost or something? Or were you following me?
[His expression would remain serious as two void vortex appear under Hawk.]
Imaginary 1.0 - High-Speed Alloy!!
[Indeed, both actions would be sets of gears and metal shot out at incredible speeds directly at Sana who was still on the ground. The impact should be quite painful. One move too slow and her arms may end up broken.]
...
Why Kazzie?
"..." Alex snuck closer to the battle in the ring, the skeletons forming a resistant defense around their master. Alex had taken the ward around him down a notch, as it burned mana like nothing else he had, turning the ablative shield into a more passive barrier that let 20% of an attack pass through, to be stopped by the interlocking steel shields.
Alex then made a small peephole, letting him see, then he took his pistol with one hand, aimed at Sana, then took a bottle of raw chaos with his other hand, and put the end with the disasterous liquid in the path of the bullets.
Then Alex started blasting.
Chairs, Sinks, and a flatscreen tv flew at Sana with bullet speed and would catch her unawares with the sudden appearance of said houshold items.
Alex would find his attempts at attacking... Simply failing, a glimmering barrier shooting up around the ring from various mystical runes inscribed onto the floor around it.
None of that now, this fight has enough chaos without any extra added.
Mirror shards would fly through the air and between Alex and the ring. They'd quickly stick together and cling until a large yellow creature appeared. It had the body of a dragon but where it's head would be normally was the torso of a humanoid with the face of a big and a crown on top of their head.
The monster just breathed heavily as the objects aimed at Sana bounced off of it's thick skin.
The man who had been resting in the corner of the GYM would begin yawning as he moved closer to Alex and his army.
"Yo, kid. Let the other kids have their fun, right? If you really want some entertainment guess I could use my mirror to provide. Not much of a fighter myself but who knows, maybe that will change depending on who looks in my mirror."
He was in fact holding a pocket mirror that normally seemed to be covered by a case. At the moment though, the mirror was open but it would be hard to see the surface of because of a blinding light coming off it.
"...Hang on one sec."
Any projectiles would bounce off the light, causing the areas hit to dim slightly.
Asami quickly begins muttering in latin, however, she stutters at the end and a pathetic cloud of Ash was produced instead. Consequently, she was easily slammed into the ceiling, the impact damaging her ribcage slightly and causing bruises throughout. As soon as she can recuperate, she lets out a strained response to Kazuo.
"Now... do you see... why..."
The barrier would be moderately hampered, albeit still holding up pretty well. As for Asami, she would quickly begin to spit out more verses of latin, her eyes glowing with slightly fainter energy.
"Okay, I'll give it a peek..." Alex shuffled over with his defense squad, and away from the fight, and the defense squad changed from a shield defense dome to a simple military square. Alex climbed up, and tried staring at the mirror, despite the blinding light.
"This might kill me."
Marcus doesn't even try to hide the mirror, allowing Alex to fully look into it. Within Alex would see...the most beautiful individual he had ever seen or by default the closest to it. There was nothing else in the mirror but Marcus would still speak.
"Well, what do you see? Can you describe it?"
You...don't have much experience, do you...?
[Kazuo's serious and battle-ready expression would change immediately, and even Hawk seemed a bit more relaxed as a whole. It was very anticlimactic. All in all, it was sure he could beat her without any issues so he merely...sighed and allowed Hawk to descend to the floor. Kazuo would jump off the back of his creature too and try to get closer to Asami's location, with no further intention of fighting.]
You seem to be hurt enough. Let's just leave it this for now.
Ben over there seems to have beaten Sana anyways, so she won't be doing much anymore.
[The red markings would leave Hawk and go back to Kazuo's body, disappearing shortly after too. Then, his familiar would become rubble.]
I don't feel okay fighting you, not like this.
No offense but I don't... really want to hurt you after that.
"Well, uh..." Alex started to look closer, and said, "Well, it looks like girl, black hair, button up shirt, vest, buisness pants, and a four leaf clover pin, she doesn't seem very sure about something, and doesn't seem lucky." Alex was describing Micah, someone he remembered and had only assumed the gender of.
Asami sighs, her casting energy disipating and the barrier desolving. She appeared not to have sustained any significant damage, and her radiance hardly suffered at all.
"You could have at least let me get one hit in before calling it quits."
She brushes the dust off her clothes with her hands.
"I mean, I can't exactly heal myself, but it's not like i'll die."
She then smiles at Kaz, nervously laughing as she scratches the back of her head.
"As for my age, I never really keep track of the exact number. Since I started counting, the sun has passed around 3,172 times. Not sure what that would be in human years."
If that's true then I'm about twice your age, which makes it ever stranger.
I'm 18, so the sun has passed about...6000 times or something.
[He sighs already walking out of the arena calmly, he needed to retrieve his coat since he left it somewhere at random. He would chuckle as an idea forms in his head.]
If it's about hitting me, you may tap me once now.
I'll give you that much, Asami. Make it count
Asami gives an embarassed smile, throwing a hand behind as to dismiss the notion.
"No, that's okay, really. I wouldn't learn anything from that."
She then walks out of the arena as well, leaning her staff against the wall and stretching.
"I can at least make friends while i'm here. A place that gets this much action could use a good healer."
[Kazuo picks up his coat and begins dusting it off rather lazily as he really is interested in talking to the girl a bit more.]
Being as you are, you are definitely going to make tons of friends.
Your personality is warm like that.
[He would put it on and smile while making sure he looks good enough. He would never admit it but he pays attention to his general looks from time to time, or at least way more than even he wants to express by actions. He wasn't injured or tired.]
Why practice with me though? There are dozens of other people stronger than me around.
I'm just a human too.
Asami chuckles
"That's true, but isn't it a lot better to train with people you trust?"
She would blush slightly, relaxing against the wall and exuding a calm and casual air.
I...suppose that's true.
[Kazuo would clear his throat and cross his arms while looking everywhere around the room but at Asami. It's been a while since anyone ever considered him trustworthy, especially considering his stance regarding most people with powers around. At least, it made him feel glad.]
In that case, I think I can help you. I'm no expert but that bird of yours... maybe we can do similar things.
You even agreed to healing me near my place, so it's only fair I aid you too.

Niko looks over at the GYM... He was always so intimated to go anywhere near that place, at least before when he was less used to how everything worked, but now he's getting better at all the persona stuff and the fighting, hell, he's even been skipping out on his Japanese studies to train. Plus he's been secretly watching persona users doing... Their persona things.
"Well, Niko, now's the time to work up that courage, right?..."
He sighs as he enters the GYM. Seems that something went on. Eh, he just decides to sit somewhere he can find comfortable and watch others do whatever.
Ben would transform back to human and just shrug a little bit while watching Kazuo and Asami. He isn't exactly overly involved there so the young man would simply smile and wave to them.
"Well that was a fun little event, didn't exactly give me a big work out but pretty interesting to see some other magic users in action. Or at least, it looks like magic ta me. Anyways, see you all around!"
He would head out... If not for the fact that Niko had walked in. The young boy would cause Ben to casually walk up with a grin.
"Yo! You here to train too man? I just got done with a round myself, but it was light enough I'd be up for another if that's the case. Name's Ben by the way, yourself?"
He'd offer Niko a handshake for a moment, not really caring to get into much in the way of details.
Niko is already kinda out of it, not really noticing the person approaching them until they talk to them.
"O-oh! I don't train here often but I'm planning on changing that."
He only really focuses on the hand for a handshake, then while in the process notices the full appearance of the person they're talking to. No fucking way man, Ben fucking 10. Niko very much remembers watching some episodes of the show Ben is from. He tries not to show his excitement on his face.
"M-my name's Niko, it's nice to meet you, Ben."
The young man would nod and crack his knuckles a bit.
"Heh, alright then. Good enough for me Niko, guess I can go a little easy on ya if you want. I'm... Very much not out of practice at all, and this 'watch' is a pretty powerful little tool if you know how to use it... Or for that matter even if you just blunder through using it like a fool."
He'd scoff a bit while walking over to the fighting ring once again and looking back upon his younger days, an entire decade ago when he'd first stumbled across this alien device in its original form. Feels like forever to him though.
"Anyways man, you wanna take the first shot or should I? I'm good either way I think."
He gets up and gets himself ready. Don't get so nervous now, you know how to use your persona better, plus you've been taking the time to practice your acrobatics and all that jazz, no need to have a quicked heartrate...
"Uh, I'll take the first shot. Come, Yog-Sothoth!"
He quickly spins the evoker out of its holster and summons his persona, a big mass of black tentacles with what seems to be some sort of mouth, you swear you may even be able to see eyes on it too.
"Alright, let's get this party started."
He starts it off with a simple shot of Eigaon.
Niko sighs. Not much damage done? Well, whatever gotta focus on not getting nabbed by plants...
"How about..."
He dodges backwards into his persona, which catches, covers him, and rolls backwards with him.
Ben would smirk a bit as the boy aims to dodge, it does work well enough to keep him away from the plants at least. On the other hand, it also finds him with Swampfire barreling through the air at high speeds, propelled by jets of flame rushing from his hands that push the being far more quickly than he could normally run.
He's aim to slam straight into the Persona, a pair of superpowered punches for it from the air with easily enough force to send a car blasting away.
"Heh, not bad pal. Two can play at moving in unexpected ways though, but that thing of yours... Like two fighters at once. Kinda cool."
The persona is very much one punch away from bursting, Yog-Sothoth's tentacles open up to reveal Niko as he steps out of it with two orbs of mostly pink and other colored energry between the index and middle fingers of both hands.
"Hey, I'm still getting the hang of it too, this is helping me learn."
He tosses the condensed orbs of psi energy at Ben, or well, Swampfire's legs, hoping to cause at least a good amount of psi damage, perhaps enough to slightly cripple. The orbs, if they hit the target, will basically explode.
The orbs hit dead on, they in fact tear off Swampfire's legs entirely... That'll take a few seconds for Ben to heal, but the boy would be able to see vines setting themselves back into place and new plants growing in to fill the gaps caused by Niko's attack. He'd also see a wide powerful burst of flames rushing straight for Yog-Sothoth and hoping to burn the Persona away.
Of course while he's doing that Ben is still legless and thus hoping to ward Niko off with the sheer firepower he's pumping down range towards his foe.
"Ouch man, that really stings you know. Course Swampfire here has been through worse scrapes than a couple missing legs, but still! And glad to help!"
Niko has a burst of genius, he grabs Yog by some of its tentacles then runs, he then spins and attempts to throw it at Swampfire, and when he lets go, Yog grabs onto him. He's trying to use it as transportation.
"Let's get this done!"
If he gets close enough, it's battin' time.
Niko almost forgot that Ben had more aliens, and this one is probably not one that he'll be able to take on too well. He'll have to rethink his tactics, but first he'll have to blind him. Hopefully this could work.
"Presto."
Instead of using Eigaon as an attack, he sorta uses it more to cloak, throwing a smokier looking version of it to the ground, causing a strange black vapor to take up the view of both as Niko runs out and tries to rethink his strategy.
Ben would stare at the inky black that covers the ground, that'd make hitting hard but...
"You can hide, for a little while. But two can play at covering an area!"
He'd chuckle while slamming his arms forward, massive waves of crystal jutting out from the diamond being's body and tunneling under the ground. Soon enough though they'd burst back out, coming up from below the entire area of the cloak as a wide wave of blunt force that should with any luck send Niko flying up out of it. Unless the boy can react in the couple seconds he'd have to hear the things under the ground before it hits him.
"Petrosapians like Dimamondhead are pretty decent at just tossing out constructs over a battlefield, not the best in this watch maybe but eh. Can't deny the effectiveness of a big sheet of nigh unbreakable diamonds, no?"
Niko hears the rumbles, which he tries to run from, he makes it out with a scratch, and also because Yog lagged behind, it got bursted.
"Yeah, I see that."
Well, he isn't completely defenseless, he's still got his bat, plus, he remembers seeing some persona user still use a bit of magic without their persona out.
"Maybe if I..."
Maybe a bit of Psi energy might knock off one of the diamonds, or at least chip a bit off it off, it'd be nice to have one bit to keep it... But he has an idea for it. He manifests a smaller orb of psi energy, which he launches at one of the diamonds.
Niko makes noises of pain, he strangely doesn't cry out he just sorta makes "hrk" sorts of noises.
"A-alright, sure. I bet you'll dodge all of it but..."
He manifests a single orb of psi energy and throws it to throw Ben off before manifesting orbs of psi between the fingers of the left hand and orbs of eiha in the right. He throws both of them at him, hoping the orbs scatter in directions that he might run over to as a way to dodge.
Ben waits, and waits some more. He waits untill the very last second to start evading... That's maybe not his best idea, but nevertheless he is still able to evade most of it. Being scraped on his shoulders a bit after taking so long, but XLR8's utterly inhuman speed and reflexes allow the young man to perform far better than he should given the things were a couple inches from him when he started moving.
"Heh, not all bad. But yeah trying to hit XLR8 is... Rough man, it's really rough unless you're as fast as I am like this somehow!"
The alien would begin running in a wide circle that's likely far too quick for Niko to see much beyond motion blurs around the area. All in the name of trying to make a large tornado of air that would engulf the arena and send anything inside it flying wildly, save for its maker himself. The scattershot does manage to land one absent blow on him though, dead center of the chest as Ben simply hadn't been paying attention. That'd send the alien crashing to a stop, but not before forming his tornado.
"Ouch... Need to pay closer attention to where I'm going, coulda dodged that if I had realized you were tossing out magical buckshot..."
"Hey gotta throw around the moveset, man, I'm kinda experimenting here, so gotta think of cool options."
He smiles. Before realizing how exhausted he's gotten from all the intense fighting that his body is quite not used to yet. He's been doing a lot more than he usually does. Although he's caught on a tornado, he doesn't seem as phased as he absolutely should be.
"Y'wanna call it here, Ben? I was having a lot of fun but I'm not sure how much I can go on, still kinda getting the hang of it all."

The young man would nod and turn back to human with a grin on his face.
"Yeah I understand, the Omnitrix heals me whenever I change and I'm... Way too used to fighting for long periods by now, so my standards of what's normal are a bit wacky. If you feel worn down though, for sure smarter to stop before you hurt too badly. Training from hell isn't actually anywhere near as effective as stories make it out to be, get some water or something too."
Ben chuckles a bit at that though, if only he'd understood that being a hero didn't mean recklessly pushing too damn far back when he was a kid. Oh well, live and learn right?
"Anyways, that was pretty intresting actually! Mind if I ask about that... What's that thing you summon called? I've never seen any kinda magic like it before."
He'd smile while asking that, absently leaning back against the counter of the juicebar and tapping a finger against it.
Niko nods.
"Yeah I hear that. Well, the thing I got is called a "Persona", the manifestation of my other self within me, which took the form of Yog-Sothoth, a being from the cthulu mythos that's basically the gatekeeper of the multiverse. It's interesting stuff."
Niko is absolutely thinking about how the Omnitrix probably took a DNA sample of him throughout that fight.
Persona huh... Well that sounds interesting to say the least, not that he's someone who'd need to look into a power like that.
"Huh, neat. I've never heard of anything like it before now, not that I need to look into more powers when I've got this sitting on my wrist so it's pretty much just curiosity."
He'd shrug a bit while making that remark and standing up, absently tapping the watch and getting ready to transform once again.
"Anyways, think I'm gonna head out, take a little look around the city with XLR8. I get the sense I'll be here for a while so learning the landmarks and such seems wise. Catch ya later Niko!"
And with that he's gone again, given how quickly he flickers between aliens if he doesn't have the master control, he's got something very damn close to it. A fact Niko might realize depending upon how good his memory is of various mistransformations and time outs in the show itself. Either way, the blue raptor like alien is long gone in mere seconds. Rushing through the city with a wide grin while taking in Tokyo's sights.
Niko watches all of that happen while taking all that other stuff into account.
"...Damnit I'm jealous."
He exits, today was a fun one and he got to experiment, might come useful later.
