The Forests of Kakarot City

Alright, So we may use our ki to deliver physical attacks then?

Bayikk said as he was at the waters edge still, as he saw Harujin's rush and simply thought how well Haru might take his trap. Bayikk kept his arms up in a pillar block taking heavy strikes to his forearms. Suddenly Bayikk dipped back like a back-flip and brought his fought up to slam his leg into Haru's back to push him further to edge him out. Bayikk enjoyed to fight tactically, but even he would feel disappointed if his spar ended so soon.

Haru quickly flipped with the momentum of Bayikk's attack, and attempted a trip kick, trying to catch him off guard from his immeadiate retalitory attack.

Bayikk took the hit cringing a bit from the force, but he did so in order to get an opening on Haru, and Bayikk shot his right arm so fast it was like four fists were coming at him at once.

In a battle be open to take hits, if you feel as though it will set you up for a heavier strike

Bayikk said as he gave advice while still in combat

"If I wanted advice" Harujin started, sending a fist of his own to meet Bayikk's. Haru seemed to manage to match it in power as they collided with a loud crash, "I'd have stayed in the academy." Harujin simply smirked at Bayikk, "But thanks Bay." Harujin suddenly returned to his flurry of kicks and punches again, again attempting to catch Bayikk off guard with his quick decisions.

Good then, i'll keep quit

Bayikk grinned a little

But one thing though... Hasshu-ken!

Seemingly eight arms began striking at Haru in the form of palm strikes and slashes from the clothed blade with much speed, the strikes came at both Haru's thighs, lower ribs, and mid chest. Finally unexpectedly Bayikk spun of to deliver a back kick at Haru's midsection.

All of Bayikk's previous attacks had landed, albeit Harujin did dodge or block in some way so that it wasn't a full on direct hit, but nonetheless they had caused some damage to him. Just as Bayikk was going for his back kick, Haru prepared himself, unbeknownst to Bayikk. Just before it landed, Bayikk's foot went through Harujin's face revealing that it was mearly an after image. Harujin was behind Bayikk and already had made a strong kick into the center of Bayikk's back. "Behind you!" Harujin made sure not to say anything until after he had made his attack.

Bayikk quick inhaled to regain his breath from the hit. Then he hovered more to the center of the lake.

C'ya soon...

Bayikk saluted Haru and dropped into the water using after images, the water however made the after images blurred and wavy so that his movements were unpredictable. Bayikk appeared behind Haru suddenly to deliver a... after image... Bayikk was now in front of Haru with his sword arm extended back and then pulled it forward at Haru, full force driving the butt of his hilt into the muscle of Haru's left arm.

After Bayikk hit Haru's arm he quiclkly grabbed it,"Aaahhh!! The hell Bayikk!" A weird tingly sensation pierced through Haru's arm, starting from the point where Bayikk had hit. It didn't exactly hurt but it did make his left arm go numb for a little while and unable to effectively use. Quickly trying to forget the strange sensation, Harujin used his good arm and got into a stance, "Reikon Heki.." (Wolf Fang Fist tech) Harujin seemingly whispered it, and then qickly went into a barrage of punches and kicks yet again. And even though he only had one good arm at the time of use, the ferocity and speed of the atttacks were still far faster than the previous times.

Bayikk could sense that Haru wasn't cool with Bayikk striking his muscle with a blunt object like that. Even Bayikk cringed a little in regret when he did it. Not only could he sense Haru not being cool with it, he also felt it with the hits Haru delivered for 60% went through his defense and to his surprise out of the hits that landed 40% of them where clean hits even with a bad arm.

You know I feel bad bout that arm...

Bayikk ducked a punch...

No seriously, i totally will get you some thing to eat as an apology or something

Bayikk said with an uneased laugh. Bayikk then tightened his arms in closer for a higher defense for his face as he stepped into Haru's space with Bayikk taking shots to the body, but Bayikk closed in to deliver a hard knee to Haru's solar plexus, with Bayikk cringing again as he was half way there to making impact.

Bayikk's knew landed on its target, but not before Harujin made a slight movement to lessen the seriousness of the blow. It hit with a loud impact and Harujin made it sound like it landed perfectly as he made a groan. He didn't move for a few seconds, Bayikk's knee frozen at its position in his chest, "Just kidding!" Harujin looked up at Bayikk smiling, and then quickly grabbed his knee that was stil dug into Haru's chest, and put as much ki as he could intoo tossing Bayikk straight up.

Harujin then leaped into the air, following him and going just a little higher. And then, dropped on Bayikk doing an axe kick, using the extra momentum and all his might to try and score a devastating hit.

Bayikk turned with the momentum of the axe kick to counter with a spin-hook kick. Then Bayikk brought the same leg around for a round-house, and continued his rotation in a tornado kick, and then another rotation with a 540-kick and back fist. Bayikk then with after image speed stomped down on the surface of the water to spray up a wall of water. Bayikk used the distraction to get to Haru's side to try and deliver a ridge hand strike to his shoulder while bringing his sword across his knee.

A few minutes after guiv left the area, Omato simply sat on top of the stack of now broken trees and thought to himself. 'He's not going to change me back is he?.....fine, if a tree is that big of a deal I'll simply put it back in the ground, he's stupid enough to think that it's replanted.' Omato then floated over to the apple tree which he had kicked down, which started this whole mess. 'Fine, let's get you back in the ground.' he thought as he picked it up with ease and floated over to where it had fallen over, putting it upright in it's former spot, hiding the roots under some of the debris from the kicking down itself.

Afterwards Omato clapped his hands together and floated back to the top of the stack. 'Let's hope he sees it as an apology....probably not.' he simply laid down on the top of the stack and let his tail linger off of the edge as he began to fall asleep, the sound of Harujin and Bayikk's fight still raging.

As the wall of water sprayed up, Harujin then quickly made use of Bayikk's own trap. He fell with the water, into the lake, diving underneath the water's surface. He watched as he made an attack only to see that Haru was no longer there. Without wasting anymore time, Harujin shot back out, directly beneath Bayikk. An uppercut delivered to what Harujin hoped to be his chin, as he heard a definate sound that would signal some sort of a connection, in which Harujin then stringed together a spin kick, directly aimed to Bayikk's chest.

Bayikk closed in his distance to the back of Haru's thigh to throw off the spin kick, and Bayikk wrapped his left arm around that leg and fell back in a grapple. Since there was no solid ground to hold him in a pin, Bayikk simply slammed the butt of his hilt into Haru's chest before letting go of the clench. Bayikk rubbed his scrapped chin and moved his jaw around a bit, not enjoying the feeling. Bayikk rushed at Haru now using Hassu-ken on his sword arm, and swung at Haru in an inward vertical slant making it like two swords were coming X'ing down at him on each side at once.

As Bayikk's attack came down, Harujin could barely tell what direction to dodge, and before he knew it the attack had made a nearly direct hit. It hit hard on his chest, despite his only action of backing away from Bayikk. The pain quickly came and quickly was forced otu of Harujin's head as he wantedd to retaliate as soon as possible. Harujin then dashed back to Bayikk and made it appear he was going for a straight on punch. Using after image, he then came from another direction, and then repeated this over and over again, disorienting Bayikk as he dissapeared and then reapeared in a completely different direction each time. As every possibble direction pointing to Bayikk was littered with after images of Harujin, he then made one last use of the technique.

This time he was a few feet above Bayikk, falling to him with a massive amount of ki charged into his next attack. It looked as though a green flame had appeared on Haru's elbow, dancing and swirling. As his foot reached the top of Bayikk's head, he dropped his elbow down, crashing heavily on his skull. Bayikk exploded downward into the lake's depths, until he was out of sight in the dark water. Harujin was actually surprised at how deep that the lake actually was, since it obviously didn't appear that way. And even as Bayikk sank, Harujin knew that wouldn't have ended the fight or him so easily, he'd be back very soon. And so as a precautionary measure, he took to the skies a few yards above the water surface. As he waiited, he panted tiredly as he waited for Bayikk to rise back up. The two had been fighting for quite a bit of time now so it was clearly taking its toll.

Bayikk was sinking like a rock into the lakes depths. It was a quick delivered hit and the water pressure was doing no better for the massive ringing in his head. The water eventually cushioned down the fall to a halt, and Bayikk was surprised that he hasn't touched bottom yet. "Exactly how far is this lake exactly", Bayikk thought as he collected himself and began to meditate focusing in on Haru's ki signature to grasp his location. Bayikk's eyes shot open as he belt a large presence and then he knew he wasn't alone in this water, there was something huge and menacing lurking in here. Bayikk saw a huge silhouette in the distance but decided to best leave it alone, there were more pressing mattes to attend to. Bayikk shot back up as he felt something sharp brush his leg but he continued up deciding not to take notice to it. Bayikk broke surface and slowly levitated up to Haru's level, not noting that a stream of blood was trickling down his leg.

Well that's quite a good arm you have, let me show you mine.

Bayikk darted straight at Haru and then half way to reaching him he after imaged to make it look like the rush was a fake, but Bayikk simply accelerated his speed to continue slamming into Haru's chest with an immense palm strike sending him flying. Haru didn't go too far However for Bayikk appeared behind Haru only after he traveled a few feet with his elbow extended out in the direction of Haru's mid-back

Haru's body hit into Bayikk's elbow with a good amount of force. Quickly Harujin used After Image and appeared to the side of him, delivering a kick into his chest, then following up by spinning in the other direction, and using the momentum to deliver another strong kick into Bayikk's back, sending him skidding across the lake. Watching Bayikk stop somewhere and begin floating in the water, Harujin lowered himself to the lake's surface himself.

Panting slightly Harujin called out, "Bay! Come on! Get up! We'll end this with one more blow!" after he was done he then started gathering his ki, centering it into his right fist. A green light eminated from his clenched hand, and as he would tighten it harder, a green flame would erupt around it, engulfing it completely. Harujin's eyes seemed almost primitive, filled with Saiyan might and power, his mind engulfed in nothing but the battle and setting his sights on winning. His aura did not appear as all of his power was focused into his attack, and around him, the lake reacted, creating small waves in the water, getting more dramatic and larger as time went on. "This is it Bay.." Harujin said as he looked from his fsit up to Bayikk across the lake. "THIS IS IIIIIT!" Harujin shot across the lake to meet Bayikk in the middle, thrusting his fist forward to meet whatever attack Bayikk was going to do. 'Thank you Bay.. for an exciting battle..' Harujin thought as he neared Bayikk.

Electricity began dancing off of right arm sparking off of his shoulder. Bayikk clenched his fist and the electricity surged up in a blinding bolt, streaks flying of of his arm as he fueled it with more ki by the moment. Bayikk excepted the challenge. Haru was a great match to pit his power up against and one final blow would so each other where they were at in lines of strength.

Not to seem impatient or anything but I must agree with you! there are other matters to attend to so we should make quick haste in determining the victor!

Bayikk's arm began to hum with energy as the blinding light of the electricity completely coated his arm making it impossible to see his right arm through it. There was a hollow sound as Bayikk vanished from his spot dashing forward the water parting around him from the speed. Bayikk began to cock back his hand and a wide grin stretched out across his face.

I'll lose all respect for you here if you dare hold back!

Bayikk said has his last words as they were moments from striking

As the two's attacks collided, a giant shockwave shouted throughout the forest from the shear strength of the two energies meeting. It appeared more like two energy beams pushing against one another, than two fighters using ki powered attacks. The entire forest shook, as if a massive earthquake was happening, and the lake pushed out waves from where two were having there stand-off.

Harujin had a grin on his face as the their energies continued to engulf and battle each other, the wind force blowing Haru's hair about. "Bay.. I couldn't ask for a better fight. Or a better opponent. This will help, in building my horizons." Harujin continued to look at Bayikk, grinning as if they weren't in the midst of a deciding moment. "Thank you.. friend.." As Haru whispered this, he put all of the remainder of his energy into the attack, expecting Bayikk to do the same. And then... A massive explosion and a bright white light.

Bayikk half chuckled while grinning, every fiber of his being feeling as though it was being pushed back by the force but he held strong to his position.

You're definitely a formidable person, I'm only glad that you are with me than against me. You would make for a terrible enemy, but a great comrade you are!

Bayikk burst out one last shock of ki from his very core driving it straight into his arm and out through his knuckles. The collision of the two ki's exploded, the water under them fanning our in a tidal wave and then soon blasting out as steam. The trees what ever left around them were holding on by there very roots to stay planted as the two flew back unable to grasp there flight.

Harujin landed, somewhere on the lake's coast, opposite of Bayikk who was most likely on the other end. His body completely exhausted as all he could do was tiredly smile and stare up into the sky. "Did I... win?" He spoke to himself softly. Chuckling quietly, and not moving his body anymore, he simply lay there taking in the view of the skies of Planet Bardock. "It's so.. beautiful.. I never.. noticed before.." Near the end of that sentence Harujin went off into a deep slumber, a smile on his face as he spoke once more in his dreams, "Bayikk..."
The sun shined brightly downward, it was truly a perfect day.

Bayikk flew back to the base of an apple tree, an apple fell at his side as he let out a slight chuckle.

I have a lot to learn, and Haru have quite a bit to offer. I'm going to need to train a bit more with him after I wake...

Bayikk picked up the apple and took a bite, savoring its taste for a moment

This day couldn't have gotten any better

Bayikk slowly drifted off

(Continuing in Kakarot City)

Omato didn't know how long he had been asleep, only that he awoke at a very specific time, it was almost as if his Saiyan blood itself reacted to the full moon, urging him to awake from his slumber, his shot bolt upright form atop the pile of logs he had gathered and moved his head around as if he was panicked he knew what was about ot happen, he couldn't help but feel abit excited as he looked directly into the full moon 'Well, this doesn't happen often, I can already feel myself slipping into a rage.' he grinned almost stupidly as his body began to grow rapidly and grow fur, but not the customary dark brown fur, a sort of, lighter brown, the clothes which Guiv had put on him quickly tore off and were shred into tiny pieces as h e continued and continues to grow, his features becoming more and more apeish, his mouth elongated into a snout he also grew an enormous amount of weight, breaking nearly all of the logs he had piled up just from the huge gain in mass.

After he had completed his transformation he went into a complete rampage, setting off multiple mouth blasts into the forest, causing many trees to simply disintegrate on impact, he struggled for even the least bit of control 'The city! there will be more of us at the city!' he thought as he forced his humongous feet forward, looking directly towards kakarot city.
