To better protect others, Protect yourself first. (open)

[Ethar Luxun]

Wearing his full hidden chainmail weights, Ethar had decided to venture out into a very remote part of the forest to try a new kind of training. After a week of the fight with Frieza, Ethar had spent time figuring out what he thought was his weaknesses.

Finding himself in a large flat clearing, He cupped his hands to his side and started to foxcus his energy. "Kame.... Hame.... HA!" He slowly said. A Ball of Energy formed in his hands, which he thrusted forward with his palms. A second after he did so, He would vanish in a blink of an eye. Using Zanzoken, Ethar quickly ran infront of the blast, and outstretched his hands.

To anyone watching, it would seem like he was committing Suicide, but this was not the case. For Ethar actually caught the blast in his hands.

The bright energy slammed into his hands, slowly pushing Ethar back who fought against the force of his own attack. He felt the ki in his body fight back against the Ki he was pushing against, and the physical stress against his arms was considerable to.

He started to compact the energy in his hands to make the blast less of a danger. Gradually, it became the size of a basketball, before he tossed it into the air where it exploded harmlessly. As he looked up at the explosion, he sighed to himself as he said "Doesnt seem like it will be enough...."

[Noir]

The silence is broken by a sudden thud coming from underneath a nearby tree, at the base of said tree would be a tired looking Noir face down in the ground grumbling "owwwwww, ok fine I get it nature don't sleep in your trees urgh is some rest too much to ask for" Noir dusts herself off grumpily, she thinks she has fallen from the tree but truth is the blast from a certain inconsiderate someone may have knocked her from her resting place. Not that she'd know that so he gets off scot free this time.

Now on her feet readjusting her chest wraps and dusting off her jacket Noir notices Ethar, usually her ability to sense others is pretty on point but not this time, she chocks it up to the changes in her body and ki that was still occurring from her previous absorbing of frieza. This person looked familiar however, like Noir had seen him before. She turns her head sideways so he looks as though he is lying on the ground "Oh yeah thats where i remember him from in a heap in the battlefield.

She walks up behind him making no real noise and her power fluctuating to a low point so as not to be noticed. She stands behind Ethar for a few seconds curiously observing what he was up too getting a good feel for his ki signature given the recent explosion of ki that just happened. Having sated that curiousity Noir taps Ethars shoulder only to slink to the other side in his blind spot so she was suddenly in front of him when he turned back around.

[Ethar Luxun]

Even after catching his own ki, His hands still felt a tiny bit tingly, so he was already pre-distracted to really sense any other energy around. So when Noir tapped him on his shoulder, he was completely taken by surprise.

He quickly looked back in the direction where the shoulder tap came from, and didnt see anyone or anything. "Odd, Could of sworn I felt someone..." He said, before looking back to where he had been looking before, not expecting anyone to be infront of him. But when He did look back, a Dark coloured majin stood before him.

The sudden surprise caused him to jump a bit, as his mindly quickly raced off to determine if this person was a threat to him or not. This caused him to almost take a defensive stance as he quickly tried to sense her energy level.

Upon feeling it, and discovering that it felt quite low, he noticed what she was right away. A Majin. He had read about such creatures in his studies, but never met one in person. His curiosity started to take the lead, allowing him to calm down a bit as he said "Ma'am, you really shouldn't sneak up on me like that. I could of accidentally hurt you." as he took several deep breaths to calm himself down more and slow down his beating heart.

[Noir]

Noir smirked at his reaction it was just the one she wanted "Oh you could have hurt little old me? But why would you do that?" She asks in a coy and sweet tone one she can use oh so easily her big eyes simply enhancing the effect. She looks like butter wouldn't melt amplified further by the gentle sweet scent she naturally exudes. "I thought i was alone out here taking a nap out on the tree. Though it seems the trees took offence to that given how they threw me off just a minute ago.

Noir stretches and then notices his slightly flustered state moving close ot his face "You ok? You look a little bit off" she moves her head to the other side of his face probably not helping matters before booping his nose "Hello? You seem a little distracted" She steps back doing a spin with her step letting her tendrils swing with her "I don't think you'd be able to hurt me, mainly cause i probably wouldn't feel it if you did."

"So what brings you out to the middle of nowhere? Not often i find others here, probably why i like to nap here" She ponders "are you up to something unsavoury in these parts something a girl like me should be aware of and maybe scared of?" She says in a jokey tone but her expressive state both makes it very convincing and hard to take seriously at the same time "In fact while i'm at it who are you? My names Noir, i feel i dont have to explain why i have that name"

[Ethar Luxun]

NOw Ethar felt bad. Maybe when she was napping, her power didnt register at all to him, and his practicing intercepting Ki beams caused quite a commotion and woke her up. His cheeks went a bit red, but not just from embarassment, but the sweet scent Noir was giving off... With Ethar's enhanced sense of smell, he could really pick up on her scent.

When she booped him on the nose, it let him refocus a bit. "Well, That'd be a problem. If I was too careless, we probably wouldnt be having this conversation right now." He replied, as she then went on to ask him what he was out in the forest for, to which he replied "Im out here practicing with my energy. Had a deadly recent battle where I almost died, and I have to reevaluate myself so it doesnt happen next time."

She then began to tease him by asking if he was up to something that a woman like herself would be afraid of. His mind instantly tried to switch to panic mode as he said "Unsavoury? Oh my goodness no!" as he shook his head. She then went on to introduce herself as 'Noir'. "Forgive me Miss Noir, My name is Ethar. Ethar Luxun. A Pleasure to meet you." He said in reply.

[Noir]

Noir sniggers at his over the top reaction to her questions clearly taking some fun out of his overreactions. she smirks at his comment about not having this conversation "Oh really now? Pretty confident in your abilities there aren't you? Given what i can feel coming off of you right now, nah that wouldn't be enough to take me out i'm kind of resilient" she says with a confident smirk and a slight giggle. It doesn't seem conceited either she is probably speaking from experience.

"Hmm Ethar huh? Nice to meet you." She ponders to herself feeling sure she has heard that name before but it just isnt coming to her so she brushes off the thought pretty casually "Hmm i see, lots of battles been going on recently it seems, guess it all has to do with that Frieza guy i kept hearing about, him and his lackeys I encountered on myself but he wasn't all that." She smirks once more to hide the pang of regret that she wasn't there in time to prevent Burter from killing innocents but she is pretty good at not letting it show"

She starts sniffing the air a very impressive trick for a girl with no nose, best not to question how she does that "hmm you smell funny, you're not a human are you?" Noir asks pretty casually and bluntly "Or you are a human but a very weird smelling one"

[Ethar Luxun]

"You can sense energy to I see. Well, Im only in my basic form. I can transform into much more powerful forms." He said, feeling a bit miffed as Noir pretty much called him weak, just from judging by appearances. "Yeaah, Frieza showing up on Earth was actually my fault, but Im not wanting to go into it." He said, not wanting to let his mind wander off to when Frieza attacked and he lost someone he cared about deeply.

Then his hearing picked up a new sound, as he looked at Noir curiously. He saw she was sniffing at the air, then asked if he wasnt human. She was smelling him? First time for everything.

"Not a drop of Terran blood in me. Im Half Saiyan, Half Noran. Truth be told, Im not even from this planet." He said, as he stared right back at her. "And your a Majin, am I correct?"

[Noir]

Noir shrugs "You have forms but it seems you weren't using them so that comment is kind of irrelevant at least from the power i sensed from you it wouldn't be enough to kill me, not to say it wouldn't injure me but uh i heal fast.......very very very fast. Cant really explain that one though i can just do that one" Noir shrugs again.

"Teran? Noran? Saiyan? Are you just making up words now? I mean Majin sounds made up but a lot of people seem to call me that. To me i am Noir pure and simple. No idea where i am from though, kind of have a lot of blankness from my childhood before 4 so your guess is as good as mine at this point.

"I mean your scent smells familiar at least but i couldn't put my finger on where maybe i picked it up during my brief stint near the battle with frieza if you were there after all?" Noir tilts her head pondering seemingly unable to figure out quite where she recognises the scent from surprisingly not deciding to question him on how he is responsible for frieza

[Ethar Luxun]

"Hmmm, That healing ability of yours almost sounds like Regneration. I heal very quickly as well..... well, faster then a human can anyways, but not as fast as a Majin like yourself." He relied, but Noir's next words made him confused.

"Have you never heard of Saiyans? Terran is another word for Earthling, and Norans.... well, I will get into that later I suppose." He replied to her question, though he wasnt too surprised she heard the term Majin before.

When she started to talk about his scent again, and asked if he was at the battle with Frieza, and he nodded. "You might of picked up my scent there... I was one of the main fighters there... Had the most injuries, though that isnt something to be proud of. I dont recall seeing you there though, although you might of showed up during the time I was unconscious." He said as he thought to himself.

"Thats the only time I can think of where we might of met before... If I remind you of another time we did meet, I apologize for not remembering."

[Noir]

Noir shrugs "I don't think its that I've met you before, more i recognise the scent is all. I couldn't tell you from where either i have met so few people in my life I would know if i met you before" Noir keeps her hand on her chin pondering for a few more seconds before getting bored with it and stopping "Well i doubt thats really important is it? I mean it doesn't impact the here and now right" She slings her arm up to a nearby treebranch looking down at him from that position

"Maybe you were unconscious in the fight? I didn't really stick around long, that guys power dwarfed mine easily so i wasn't stupid enough to jump in there and then. I know the line between bravery and stupidity is a hair thin afterall" She shrugs stretching a little letting her arms physically stretch outwards "So uh whats a saiyan then? Cause I've never heard of them. Granted there are many things i haven't heard of so that might not be too strange"

In her slightly restless state she latches her arms to the tree lowering herself down and raising herself again, seems after being jolted awake she is struggling to keep still and is jsut finding ways to occupy herself. "So you gonna keep training then?"

[Ethar Luxun]

He nodded to her when she asked if he was unconcious in the fight. "Yeah, I was. Too much blood lost. I had alot of holes in me, and broken bones, and my body couldnt keep up with it, so I think it shut down alot of my mental functions just so it can keep me alive." HE said as he placed a hand over his chest where holes from Frieza's blasts used to be.

She then went on to ask Ethar what a Saiyan was. He looked up at Noir, and saw her working out like a monkey in a jungle gym and snickered a bit at the sight. "Well a Saiyan looks like a human, for the most part, but they usually have dark coloured hair, a higher battle power, and a tail...like...mine..." He said, completely forgetting he had a new tail since his battle with frieza. "My Father was a Saiyan General who disliked war and fighting.... He left the ROyal guard to become a poet. Isnt that silly..." He said, also remembering he had never met his father, and had only seen a few pictures of him.

He then became refocused on the here and now when Noir asked him if he was going to keep training. With a nod, he replied "I sure am, Would you like to join me?"

[Noir]

Noir lets her body wobble loosely like jelly "No idea what its like to have bones personally so wouldn't know what it feels like to have them being broken. I don't really feel much in the wayof pain either so again don't really know what thats like" She states nonchalantly loosening up her limbs and dropping down from the tree "Then again if i would have jumped in in my current state, i probably would have ended up in an even worse place"

She listens through his little crash course on saiyans noticing the tail "Sooooo monkey people who are good at fighting?" She says in a blunt way, her nonchalant almost innocent expression implies no malice more that she was just saying it as she saw it and how it was described to her. "Hmm funny that i don't know more on that but here we are i suppose. Can't say i can speak of a family no idea on any father and all i remember of my mother is being abandoned at the roadside at age 4" Again she says oddly nonchalantly like she was jsut stating it as a harsh truth.

"hmm, well i see no reason to not join you i mean i suppose theres a first time for everything" She giggles implying her powerlevel was natural rather than attained through training at least so far "I guess it will give me a good chance to see what i can do as well as what a saiyan can do" She stands in a completely nuetral stance far to relaxed to be considered ready for a fight "Well come on then lets see what you got"

[Ethar Luxun]

"Yeah, I guess you could say they are good at fighting. Though even though I am half Saiyan, Sometimes fighting seems more like a chore for me. But I guess as a Future King, one has to learn how to do it to protect those he watches over." He said with a shrug.

"As for Family, I dont know a terrible lot about my father. My mother was a Priestess... I dont have any siblings... Dont have any children yet. Hoping to atleast have a daughter someday though." He added, his mind drifting off a bit at the talk of family. "But you were abandoned at the age of 4?! Good heavens, that is terrible."

"It sure will be nice to spar with someone, other then myself." He replied, not knowing the true potential Noir had tucked away, as he smiled at her. "Judging from the power I can feel coming from you, I wont have to worry when I say you can go all out." He said as he moved into a defensive stance. He wasnt sure what this woman know about combat, but with his weights on, He felt that he was dead even with her in terms of power, thanks to his pwoer dampening weights that where underneath his clothing.

Heavy Weights in Effect at 30%. Base PL for Ethar is currently at 106,729.

[Noir]

Noir shrugs at the remark of her being abandoned being terrible "Maybe but its what happened can't change that now can i? its something that happened nothing more nothing less" she states rather dismissively as she starts stretching. Her body loose and gummy but she still seems to go about her fight preparation even though it seems rather pointless. She also occasionally touches the ground and nearby plants for no reason

She pats Ethar on the back "Well then i suppose this'll be my first real fight in a long time i guess. Be gentle with me" she says in a playful tone as she lowers her arms standing once again in her nuetral stance looking to let her foe take the first shot. She occasionally bounces on her feet and limbers her arms up again but she seems completely calm and collected making it hard to tell if she even has a plan or anything

[Ethar Luxun]

"Nothing you can change now. Well, not legally anyways." He replied as he watched her come out of the tree finally so they can spar. But then then felt something on his back, as he quickly looked and saw, out of the corner of his eye, her hand.

"So, your elasticity is pretty high up there I see. Guess I will have to be on my toes then." He replied after letting her stretch and warm up a bit. "I warn you, just because your a woman, doesnt mean Ill go easy on you." He said with the warning. Seeing as she was on the defensive as well, he decided to go in for the offensive first, and not give her time to react.

Using his Zanzoken technique, it would look like Ethar would dissappear, only to reappear right infront of her, attempting to send an uppercut into her chin.
