Managing to straiten up and pull himself together, Ethan looked on as the sand seemed to explode behind Ethar and the other shirtless male dropped to the ground. Ethan gave his opponent an incredulous stare, putting two and two together to come to the conclusion that Ethar was definitely up to something. You don't stand by and watch a kid get punched by an invisible fist and react like nothing at all happened. The explosion of sand that tossed Ethar to the ground must have been a failed attempt at another punch, which told Ethan two more things, that Ethar was playing with something dangerous, at least to his abs, and second, that Ethar couldn't quite control it. In either case, the shirtless, blue haired teen felt it was as good a time as any to step his game up a notch so that he might better keep pace with the tricky brunette.
With Ethar back on his feet and dusting himself off before they engaged again, Ethan took the time to tense up and tap into his full supply of energy, pumping his effective power level on the arbitrary scale up to 291,300. "Riiiiight." Ethan replied, still presenting the incredulous stare after Ethar suggested they ignore that little misstep. Wasting no more time, the shirtless boy darted forward, not kicking up nearly as much sand as Ethar had, and cut the distance between them, jumping at the last moment and raising his knee, intending to plant it square into the middle of Ethar's chest.

Ethar felt Ethans power level go up, which caused him to smirk. "Taking me serious now eh?" Ethar asked and saw Ethan rush in and try to slam his knee into Ethar's chest. Luckily, Ethar was already prepared for an attack.
When Ethan was close enough, he would quickly move his hands up, catching the teens knee. Ethar didnt say a word but he did grin as he would push the teen back as hard as he could. He would then attempt to use his new high speed and attempt to do a quick one two punch to Ethans stomach.
Once more, if he was successful, the punches would look like they were invisible, and would appear as if he didnt do them at all. Then again, if Ethan was smart to catch onto what Ethar was doing, there might be a chance he would be able to block the attack.

Careening into Ethar, Ethan's was denied his kneed to the other male's chest as Ethar managed to get his arms up in time and shoved the boy back. However, no soon had Ethan landed, then he was struck by the invisible force again. Two punches in such rapid succession impacted the boy's tensed abs that it felt like he'd been hit by two rounds from a machine gun. Tensed end powered up to twice what he had been at on the previous encounter with the unseen force, Ethan's musculature took the pounding without caving this time, however the shirtless boy still felt the punches quite keenly and let out a momentary groan.
Hunching slightly from the ache in his stomach, Ethan grimaced in clear discomfort, though at the same time he was experiencing a familiar tightening in his trunks. He wanted to try and take things at least somewhat serious though and so tried to ignore his hormones. It didn't help that Ethar knew he was weak in the middle, and what ever it was he was using seemed to zero right in on his weakness, which just made it all the more distracting. "Errr, damn it." the boy cursed under his breath and straitened up, reeling his arms in to defend his head and chest. He'd be damned though if he was going to block his stomach, it was a matter of pride at this point.

Seeing that his quick attacks were successful again, Ethar smiled to himself. "Well, that particular experiment was a success." He said while he smiled, and noticed the teen was excited.
Ethar shook his head a bit "Maybe too much of a success for you it seems... But what did you think? I discovered a method that allows me to more then double the speed on Zanzoken." He said, almost sounding, and looking proud of himself.
But there was a twinkle in his eye. "But that isnt the only thing I want to try out, if that is alright with you."

"Hah! Too much? Buddy you've seen me take a lot worse." Ethan countered after Ethar made the presumption that his new technique, what ever it was, happened to be too much for the shirtless boy to handle. Following that, the brunette explained that is was some altered form of another technique Ethan had heard of once or twice and then went on to ask what he thought of it. Then he had the gal to virtually dare the blue haired boy to go on, asking if it would be all right to try out something else on him, as if Ethan would ever back down after a few punches to the gut. As far as the teen was concerned, it was practically foreplay.
"It's certainly tricky, I'll give you that. I can't imagine what it'd be like if we hadn't agreed to no crotch shots." the boy joked. "And as if I'm going to back down, we're just getting started here." he added and dropped his arms, planning on looking like he was taking a quick breather while actually engaging in a few tricks of his own to put some pressure back on his shirtless opponent. Being on a beach, the water was never far away, even under the sand it could be easily reached. This is exactly what Ethan was doing, extending his will down under the sand into the aquifer and then bending the water there to his will. After a moment to focus on the element, Ethan would put his tactic into action, forcing the water up through the sand in a form of liquefaction. The disturbance was intended to surround Ethar's feet and cause him to sink into the sand a few inches, just enough to cover his feet entirely, at which point Ethan would solidify the water. Then using the distraction, the boy would again cut the short distance between he and his hopefully immobilized friend to return the favor of the gut punches, slinging one uppercut after another for Ethar's navel.

"Im glad to hear you still want to keep going. Cause I have a new power that I have never used before, nor shown anyone. So Lets hope I dont blow up.... or.... anything like that." He said, as he felt some movement around his feet. Looking down, he saw the sand started to swallow his feet up up to a few inches, Ensnaring him temporarily.
"Oh right, I forgot you have Aquakenisis." He said, trying to pull his feet up. But Ethan suddenly appeared in his field of vision as he felt Ethans fists slamming into his gut. "Gaaah!" He yelped as the air was knocked out of him.
His mind went into overdrive, as he used Ethans Immobilizing technique on his feet to hold him in place as he did 3 fast, hard jabs to his stomach before shoving him away from him with all his might, if his attacks landed of course.
Should he be successful, Ethar's aura would soon flare up as his power rose up even higher then... seemingly vanished?. His Eyes turned bright red, as his hair also turned to the same colour that matched his eyes. He would then pull himself out of the sand and just glare at Ethan with his new form.

Ethan's distraction worked quite well, although it was perhaps unnecessary as Ethar seemed to be doing quite a bit of self distraction. Ethan had always maintained that it wasn't wise to chit chat during a fight and this was no exception. Whether it was purely the distraction of having his feet sucked into the sand or his still talking about some new transformations, Ethan was rewarded for his first uppercut with the dull thudding sound of his fist plunging pleasingly deep into the other man's warm flesh. The sound Ethar made was one that was very familiar to the boy and he knew he'd dealt quite a blow with just that first punch. More would follow though as Ethan had no intention of stopping. His fists thudded into Ethar's guts twice more before Ethar's own fists smashed into his.
"Ooouuufff..." Ethan gasped on the first punch. He tried to counter and they traded another two blows each before Ethar managed to force the shirtless boy back with a shove against his toned chest. Stumbling back a few steps, Ethan steadied himself and brought his fists back up while Ethar extricated himself from the hungry sand, sporting a new hair color in the process and surprisingly, matching eye color. Ethan didn't waste time though, he was having too much fun trading punches now to stop or even though about how much power he might be up against. Instead he simply waded right back in as if nothing had changed and tried to slam another uppercut right into the former brunette's and now red head's stomach.

Ethar watched as Ethan came right back at him on the offensive again, seemingly unfazed at Ethars new temporary form. Ethar just stood in place as Ethan tried to punch him in the gut again.
The hit was successful, but to a much lesser degree of effectiveness. Ethar flinched a little bit, but basically ignored the damage that Ethan was trying to cause. "My turn." He then said, as he would then attempt to slam his powered up fist into Ethans stomach, and if that worked, Ethar would then display some rather surprising flexability.... and try to kick Ethan in the face.
"If you want to calm down, I will tell you about this new form of mine. Unless you want more butt whoopin." He said, as he would get his defenses up as quick as he could after the punch should it fail and he would have to defend himself.

Ethan certainly had to hand it to Ethar, what ever this temporary boost was, it certainly was effective, as when the blue haired boy smashed his fist into the other male's stomach, the defensive musculature he felt there rivaled his own in hardness, at least when he was actually flexing his abs to their fullest. Needless to say, the punch did not have the grand effect it's predecessors had had on the other male. Ethan was fine with that though, he enjoyed a good challenge, as was just pulling back for another shot when Ethar's fist plowed into his guts like a freight train on steroids.
"Uuuuuughhhhhhh!!!...." The air exploded out of Ethan's mouth as the other man's fist plunged through his abs like he didn't have them, nesting deep in his flesh practically half way to his spine. Of course Ethar was planning to continue his assault on the boy and pulled his fist out in preparation for a kick. Fortunately for Ethan, although it was only relatively so, the punch to his guts had been so debilitating that he dropped strait to his knees without the support of said fist. The action of which saved him from what would have been a brutal and unnecessary kick to his handsome face, Ethar's shoe instead grazing the top of the shirtless teens' head as he folded, pulling out a few blue hairs on the way by. Ethan was well acquainted with this kind of strength draining ache that was currently washing through his innards, but that didn't make it any easier to take and so all he could do for the moment was kneel there and gag while his arms were wrapped around his midsection. He couldn't believe Ethar was actually going to try and lecture him now, what kind of creep things to do was that?
"Calm.. down?" the suffering teen gasped. "I thought we were having fun... Up until you decided to go kick me in the head... You're the one who needs to calm the hell down."

Ethar smirked and let off a soft chuckle. "My bad, Musta gotten carried away. This new power is intoxicating." He said as he took a deep breath to calm himself down.
He would give Ethan a minute to gather himself, before extending his hand to the teen to help him up. As he did so, he would power down back to his X2 form in an attempt to lure the teen into a false sense of security, and make him lower his guard. If Ethan was to do this, and take Ethar's hand, Ethar would yank the teen towards himself and attempt to slam his free hand, after balling it into a fist, into the teens stomach.
His smile persisted as he said "The kick was too much, I know. But I know for a fact that you seem to enjoy physical punishment to your abdomen."

"Yeah.... No kidding..." Ethan grunted as he massaged his aching stomach and after Ethar commented that he might have taken the fight a bit too far, referencing the attempted kick to his head. Looking up when the shadow in front of him extended a hand, Ethan could see that Ethar had descended back into a decided more relaxed state and was offering him a hand up. Of course Ethan didn't have a second though about accepting, Ethar wasn't the sort to pull a dirty trick like Ohkara would after all. Ethan remembered that particular trick quite fondly when he purposely let himself fall for shaking her hand, only to get his guts pummeled by a no so sneaky punch. Ethan was safe here though, as he knew Ethar would never do such a thing. So without another thought, the shirtless teen unwrapped his arms from around his middle and reached up to take Ethar's hand.
He was surprised at how quickly the other male pulled him up, but not nearly so much as an instant later when Ethar's free fist imploded his stomach, punching deep into his softened guts once again. "Oooouuuuuuuggghhhhhh...." Ethan never suspected a thing, his body was totally unprepared for the punch, which passed through his un-tensed abdominals like a missile. "Ohhhh... maaaannnn..." Ethan moaned as he folded, leaning into the other shirtless male as his body shuddered in a torturous mixture of both agony and delight. He couldn't believe his friend actually did this to him. It wasn't an offense one could forgive since there was no offense to forgive and apparently Ethar knew that quite well. Indeed, Ethar was saying something about knowing about Ethan's proclivities as the boy leaned into him, to which Ethan could only agree, he'd discovered Ethar knew full well about his weakness some months back, ironically when they had last sparred. "You know my weak spot... pretty good." Ethan grunted as he tried to catch his breath, content to simply lean against the other male for the time being.

He was still smiling as Ethar did indeed get Ethan to lower his guard enough to allow him the sneaky attack.
Withdrawing his fist, Ethar quickly held onto Ethan so he would fall on the ground after slumping against him. Ethan then fully powered down to his base form as he patted the teen on the head after he finished speaking. "Ive known all about your 'tastes' for years my friend." he said as Ethar actually gave the teen a gentle kiss on his head. Perhaps as a sign of respect?
"You have grown very strong my friend. Between you and Ohkara, I feel quite happy knowing that Earth has such capable protectors." He said as he still held the teen against him.
"Want me to carry you back to the boat?" He asked as his smile turned into more of a grin again.

While Ethan might have been content to lean against Ethar and let the man abuse his weak spot all day, he wasn't about to stomach the guy's ego or another lecture. He remembered back to a similar situation they had been in some months ago after Ethan had defeated Frieza, Ethar was taking advantage of his middle then too, but had decided to lecture the teen about his weaknesses. Ethan had offered to tell the brown haired man that he had some weaknesses too but had never gotten the chance. Today though he would be sure to make up for that. Still leaning against Ethar who likely felt the boy either couldn't or would no longer fight back, Ethan put his martial art's prowess to use.
"Carry me eh?" the boy prefaced his maneuver, his tone decidedly adversarial. Then with practiced skill, Ethan would hook his right leg around Ethar's left and then shove hard against the other male's chest. One good surprise attack deserves another after all and Ethan was far from finished. As it was nigh impossible for the other male to keep from being tripped to the ground, Ethan quickly unhooked his leg and stepped back to grin down at his likely downed opponent. "Aren't you jumping the gun a little? I'm not the one in the sand after all." the blue haired boy stated, crossing his arms over his chest.
"And while you're down there, here's some food for thought. Don't mistake my willingness to let you take advantage of my weakness as actual weakness. If there is anything my brother taught me, it's that you don't get cocky until after you've won. You haven't won it yet. Which brings us to the other point of this little lesson, remember a few months back, when we were sparring and I told you I knew what your weaknesses are. You correctly guessed one, that you talk to much in a fight, but the second one is your ego. You make too many assumptions and think you can do anything. Now look where you are. You thought you had me beat because I let you beat me. But you're the one on the ground and if I wanted to I probably could have broken your nose with my knee after I put you there. Next time make sure the job is well and truly done... Like I said though, just food for thought."
As quickly as the serious tone came on it would just as quickly leave the shirtless teen's features and his usual smile would return as he gazed down at the other shirtless man and unfolded his hands, offering one to help Ethar up. "Another go?"
