After having packed up all of his belongings into Capsules and putting them in his backpack, Ethar was on his way to say goodbye to his friends. Having already talked to Ohkara, Ethar was flying towards Ethans boat to talk to him since he had recovered from the ordeal with Frieza, then he would talk to the woman who had stolen his heart, if he had the strength to.
Flying at high speeds, Ethar finally caught sight of his Friend's boat and glided down towards the upper deck to land on. He wasnt sure if his friend was home or not, or what he was doing. It was quite rare for him to show up unannounced, but today was an important visit afterall.
Gently touching down on the boats deck, he called out "Hey Ethan! Are you home?" He asked, and if Ethan was home and came out, He would see Ethar fully clothed, carrying a backpack on his back.
Ethar already felt nervous to talk to Ethan, since he knew the teen did have romantic feelings towards him. His first clue was the time Ethan stole a kiss from him at his birthday party some years ago, and Ethar actually was nervous everytime the two were alone.

Being the mid afternoon when Ethar arrived, Ethan was in the midst of enjoying one of his favorite activities, surfing. With the power to bend water to his will, the teen never had to wait for the perfect wave to find him, he could simply create it himself and ride to his heart's content. Such was the case this evening as the tanned, shirtless boy rode the curve clear around the island his boat was parked next to. While he never put much focus into trying to sense people's energy, given the clear, sunny day, it was hard to miss a man flying across the sky and landing on his boat. A few moments later as he cruised closer, Ethan heard the familiar voice calling for him. Ethan though wasn't surprised that Ethar had not detected him, the shirtless teen had learned to hide his own energy quite effectively and given he was using so little of it now let the other young man virtually nothing to pick up on.
"Out here!" Ethan yelled back as he turned the wave and thus his board towards the boat. A few more moments and he was along side the craft, using his will to disperse the wave's energy and then lifted off out of the water to set down on the upper deck. "Hey, what are you doing all the way out here?" the shirtless boy asked as he ran a hand through his blue hair, flicking off some of the water that had soaked him from the ocean spray. "Usually I'm the one that has to come visit you." he added and directed his gaze pointedly to the other young man's pack.

Turning towards the sound of the voice, Ethar smiled as he saw Ethan was out riding the waves and enjoying life. Giving a casual wave to his friend as he lifted out of the water and placed himself on the deck, He was ask what he was doing all the way out on his boat.
With a short laugh, Ethan did have a point when he said that he was usually the one to come visit him. "Yeah, given the circumstances, Thought I would give you a visit. See how you were recovering from that fight with Frieza." He said as he took his pack off, and set it down beside a lounging deck chair.
"How did you manage to beat him? I was at deaths door for a while I think, so I didnt get to see the fireworks." He asked as he took a seat down on said chair and looked up at Ethan.

"Damn near cooked my noodle is how I did it." Ethan replied with a chuckle and watched as Ethar took his pack off. "Well to be more accurate I cooked him. Made a huge funnel of water and then cracked it into hydrogen and oxygen. The thing was like a giant rocket engine." Ethan explained "Took just about everything I had and nearly blew my own head up in the process. It worked though... But I haven't really felt the same since then. Weaker I think." the shirtless boy went on and then eyed Ethar's pack.
"So, what's with that? Am I getting a new roomie?" he asked, a grin sliding across his face. "If so, you know my rules about tops." the shirtless teen added and folded his arms up behind his head, flashing his world brightening smile.

"Hmmm, Definitely sounds like an effective technique. Glad you thought of it. I was... so blinded by rage and anger." He said, as Ethan eyed his backpack. It looked like something that belonged in a museum or something.
When Ethan asked what the bag was for, Ethar let out a sigh. He didnt like to disappoint people, but like a bandage, it had to be taken care of quickly. "Well, thats... one of the main reasons why I came to talk to you. To see how you were doing... and to tell you, Im leaving Earth, and I dont know if or when Ill be coming back." He said, while looking down and away from the teen's gaze.
"Recent events have put things into perspective for me, and Ive spoken with my mother back on Nor. And plus, I put everyone in this part of the Galaxy in danger by trying to protect it." He added, feeling a bit sad that he was telling Ethan this, but it was the truth. It was becuase of Ethar that Frieza was revived, and politically, things were a mess back on his home world that needed to be dealt with.

'You can always count on Ethar to rain on a sunny day.' Ethan thought to himself as Ethar explained that he was intending to leave. 'And then of course he has to be weird with all of that Norse stuff again.' the teen's mind continued to wander as his bright smile faded and his arms which had been perkily folded up behind his head, slouched a little as he started to look disappointed at Ethar not having decided to move in. "Well that just stinks." the shirtless boy replied bluntly. "Man you have some strange priorities. I couldn't wait to get away from politics after the war." he added. "And last I checked, you only put people in danger by messing with inter-dimensional junk. Just lay off the weirdness and we should be fine."
"Well when are you planning to actually go then?" Ethan asked, bringing his arms down. "We never get to spar and if you're not going to be around for a while I think we should one more time before you go." the shirtless teen continued, making no secret of his intention to engage the other male.

Ethar was feeling guilty when he saw Ethan's smile fade from his face after telling him the news. But when Ethan brought up the idea of sparring, Ethar smiled a bit. "That is actually partially why I came to see you. Since you defeated Frieza, I wanted to know if I was leaving Earth in capable hands. So a no holds spar would actually be a good way to see if you were up to the task while I was gone." He replied.
As for when Ethar was planning to leave, he replied "When am I leaving? In a couple days. I still have some business here on Earth before I leave. I have to talk with Celeh and I need to purchase as many pure gemstones as I can carry." as he looked around for an island where they can have their spar. He was unsure how powerful he had gotten within the last week, and didnt want to have any risks to the general population.
"Do you know of a good isolated place we can have our spar? I know how powerful we both might of gotten recently, And I dont want anyone to end up getting injured.... or interfering."

"Mmmmm, actually to tell the truth, after that fight and the two weeks in bed, I have felt a bit burned out." Ethan replied, making sure to omit Celeh's actions during his recovery. "I haven't been able to get back to that level again since then. I'm thinking it was probably just too early and it's left like a Ki scar or strained ligament or something." the blue haired boy went on. "And I park my boat next to this island for just that reason silly. No one is around for tens of miles if not more. Just make sure not to trash my beach too much though, this place if kind of a landmark." Ethan added, referencing the fact that the main training base for the resistance had been headquartered on this very island.
"Come on and follow me." Ethan invited and jumped up, forming his board under his feet and then started to glide towards the island. "You can lose the top too if you like." the shirtless boy added with a cheeky grin. It took only a few moments to fly the few hundred feet over the water to the beach where Ethan would set down, dismissing his hovering, energy construct as he did say and then started to throw some mock punches while he waited for Ethar to join him. Ethar might have thought it was a sad occasion but Ethan was determined to enjoy what he could and just take things in stride. Even if Ethar was gone for a long time he could still always talk Ohkara into a road trip to surprise him, after all, the Netherlands weren't that far away.

"Burnt out?" Ethar asked as he started to think. As Ethan told Ethar that he wasnt able to get up to the level he had when fighting Frieza, and that made him think even more. It made him think of a theory he had in regards to ki and its production. "You know Ethan, it sounds like something similar to overusing a muscle, and you damaged it. I have a theory that the way your body generates Ki is like a muscle. You can over strain it, but it does get better again over time, and you just have to use it over time to get it back up to normal strength." He said, as Ethan came up with the idea of training someplace else other then his local beach.
When the teen told Ethar to follow him, Ethar took the teens advice to ditch his shirt and vest as he draped them over the back of a lounging chair, and took flight following the teen on his board. He followed Ethan to another island that was quite a ways away from his boat, but still isolated, which made it perfect.
"You know Im actually glad your up for a spar. Since the fight with Frieza, Ive gotten used to my new transformation, even gained even more new powers to help out in combat. Ive never used them before, so this will be a great experiment." He said, as he started to stretch a bit himself. The warm sun on his skin felt quite nice, although even with his time on Earth, Ethar still looked eerily pale compared to Ethan. Like the guy had been living in a windowless basement for decades.

"Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too." Ethan called back on his way over to the beach. When Ethar did arrive and much to Ethan's delight, sans shirt, the boy continued his warm up, tossing out a few more punches and then graduated to a few successive spin kicks, just to remind Ethar that he wasn't just all good looks. As they both warmed up, Ethar mentioned he wished to try some new things out, which of course piqued the blue haired boy's interest. "Oh? Planning to use me for a test dummy on top of it all?" Ethan chuckled as he tossed a few more punches and another kick or two before stepping closer to the other shirtless male, folding his arms back up behind his head and watched while Ethar limbered up.
"So what kind of rules are we setting here? How hard do you want to go?" Ethan asked as he stood by in his relaxed pose. He'd once again gone out in surfing his ridiculously modified swimming trunks and water shoes which left very little to the imagination, though by now Ethan was sixty percent sure Ethar wasn't interested in him in that particular way. What the limited apparel did offer though was a surprising amount of extra weight, as Ethan had long ago managed to weave the weighted material from his training apparatus into the waistband of the trunks. This of course meant that even though he was wearing next to nothing, the shirtless boy could still benefit from the added weight of his training gear, though it did, as always partly limit his strength.

Ethar felt a little embarrassed when Ethan called himself a test dummy for Ethars experiments. Ethar blocked some sand getting kicked up by the teen as he replied "Hah, Well pretty much. As for rules, No killing, and no hitting below the belt. If thats alright." as he shook his legs a bit. He was keeping his training weights on underneath his pants, which reduced him to 75% of his normal power. His tail flickered behind him as Ethar anticipated the experimentation with excitment.
He was curious why Ethan never asked about his new tail, but he shrugged it off. He hoped Ethan didnt know about using a Saiyans tail for their advantage. "Alright then, You wanna start slow?" He asked as he clenched a fist and grinned as Ethar doubled his power outfit, causing his normal aura to flare up. Ethar felt that his powered up state was as close as he could get to Ethan if he decides to boost himself in the same manner that he just did.

"Hah Hah! Awww, there goes my new move, the patented nut grab and hyper squeeze." Ethan joked and brought his arms back down as Ethar readied himself. He did note the strange addition to Ethar's wardrobe, the same kind of tail Matsuko had been wearing in their bout on the docks a few days ago. It seemed you just couldn't tell what kind of weird things people were into these days. In any case, Ethan brought his own fists up into their usual high defensive posture, leaving everything below his chest open, though his impressive musculature was tensed and ready should the first blow land in his abdominals.
"Sure thing, ready when you are." Ethan responded to Ethar's suggestion of starting out slow. This of course to the teen meant that they weren't going to transform just yet, however Ethar immediately broke with that and boosted himself. While Ethan couldn't actually sense the energy he could feel the effect at their close range and simply shook his head. "Why'd you even bother saying it then?" he asked rhetorically and tried to go for a surprise offensive while in his base form. Stepping into Ethar the teen tossed a quick right hand up high at his face and then continued forward, intending to chain the strike into a right elbow, this time to the side of the head and finally should that succeed in sending Ethar reeling, a twist at the waist which would bring his left knee up and into the other man's stomach.

Ethar's face went a bright red as Ethan joked about grabbing him where he was quite sensitive. Luckily, Ethar realized it was a joke fairly quickly as the teen moved into a defensive posture as he was preparing himself for the spar.
"What do you mean? I said we start off slow, and thats what Im doing..." He said, but before he could finish his sentance, Ethan caught him off guard and rushed at Ethar with a melee attack. A right hook took him in the fave, making him stumble backwards, but with his advanced reflexes, he managed to toughen up his defenses and put a hand up to block the elbow that was aimed at the side of his head, but he just cushioned the blow to his head. But his real defense was to his mid section, as he saw the teens knee coming up.
He hardened up his stomach muscles, and took the hit full on. He felt the impact, as it almost winded him but thankfully his defenses prevented that.
Now in order to keep Ethan from launching his next attack, Ethar had to take back the offensive and bush Ethan back, and he had just the idea on what he could do to do it.
A grin formed across Ethar's face as he would suddenly throw a hard punch at Ethans stomach with his free hand, and move it back to a defense position with a new tier of speed. It was like Ethar was using Zanzoken for an offensive move, but this seemed much faster then his previous speeds. To Ethan, if successful, it would look like Ethar hadn't even moved, and some third party launched the attack on Ethans stomach.
New Technique - Advanced Zanzoken
Using his natural heightened reflexes, Ethar has learned to increase the speed and effectiveness of his Zanzoken technique to dangerous new heights. This allows him to throw melee attacks, and dodge them at a more efficient speed. However, with the new high speeds brings new dangers. He cannot use the new high speeds where visibility is limited, as inertia is still present with the new speeds. Physics is a bitch.

Landing his first punch, Ethan was chaining the motion into an elbow when Ethar managed to brace himself against the second blow, clearly the increased energy he was utilizing had partly outclassed the blue haired teen. He continued the offense however attempting to land his knee and managed to strike him, though wasn't rewarded with the grunt he was looking for. Instead just as Ethan was brining his leg back down to return to a normal stance, the shirtless teen's abs caved against an invisible blow from an apparently unseen enemy. "Ooouuufffff!..." Ethan huffed as his body was rocked by the punch, a look of shock and confusion dominating the teen's handsome features. 'What the hell was that?' his mind raced as he straitened up.

With a grin, Ethar was happy that his first experimental attack was successful, leaving the teen dazed and confused. "What was what?" He asked the teen, pretending to be confused as he readied himself to attack the teen.
He would suddenly attempted to push himself off in the sand and try to send a flying kick at Ethan's stomach, however with the incredible inertia and speed that Ethar was trying to put on with his Advanced Zanzoken, the sand beneath his feet gave off a giant rooster tail of sand getting blown into the water. Ethar then found himself tripping over himself a bit, and fell to the ground, with a decent sized hole in the sand where his foot was. "Fuck..." He said as he realized what had happened.
All this happened in nearly a blink of an eye to Ethan, as Ethar had just embarassed himself.
Ethar realized that the sand that they were sparring on was probably his worst enemy if he was trying to use his new technique with only his feet. He quickly climbed up to his feet ,and dusted himself off as he was a bit red in the face. "Leeeeets just ignore that shall we...."
