Despite the relative silence, Terryn definitely felt like something was amiss.

The sounds of a revved engine echoed deep in the distance, fading away into the seemingly endless Gizard Wasteland. Many men would advise against an Earthling traveling through these parts, as they were known to be commonly used as a battleground for Earth's strongest. You didn't want to get caught in the crossfire.

Terryn was, usually, left unimpressed by these sorts of statements. But even he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was awry.

Things were too quiet and peaceful.

It felt like someone was looking at him.

Perhaps it was just his imagination. Perhaps the desert heat was starting to catch up to him? Perhaps he really was right; After all, his motorcycle was making quite the racket. Kicked up quite the storm of dust, too.

Now that Terryn thought about it, his motorcyle really was making quite the racket. He could've sworn he heard the engine sputter and creak...?

"Oh, you got to be kidding me..."

Terryn's motorcycle skidded to a slow and agonizing halt. He slammed his head into the bike's chassis and groaned loudly under his breath. What was it with him and vehicles breaking down?

Stepping off of the bike, Terryn leaned forward and briefly inspected the engine. It was practically sizzling. Must've overheated...

Terryn shouted a number of profanities out into the wind before kicking the front wheel in frustration. Great! Now he was stuck in the middle of fuck-all nowhere, with no reception and a broken motorcycle.

He'd best find some shade...

Using the desert to release some of her frustrations had turned out to be a rather… odd time and so Ise decided it best that when she next sought to vent her frustrations to visit a new locale of Earth, one of its more vibrant landscape had been tempting but something about the Wasteland just felt… right, perhaps her furious mood just wanted nothing to do with a more ‘pretty’ backdrop while she let loose her fury.

The OTHER benefit was that where the desert was quite sparse the Wasteland had quite a bit more to work with, most notably a good number of massive rocky outcroppings, Ise had dropped down onto one of them, this time even managing to ‘catch’ herself well enough to not completely destroy everything she landed on and only causing the rock to crack.

She of course shortly thereafter smashed it with her fist causing it to burst into massive pieces, one particularly large piece she dug her nails into and lifted high above her head chucking it with a roar off to one side, unfortunately however she had not paid much mind to the energy signatures around herself, and so the rock she chucked was sent rocketing directly at one of the few notable life signs in her general area.

After a hot minute of walking, Terryn set his motorcycle down to take another look at the engine. Atleast the thing stopped hissing for now, but it still looked a bit pinkish in coloration. That couldn't have been a good thing. Not at all!

The overbearing tension of feeling like somebody was watching you had more or less been placed on the backburner within Terryn's mind, replaced by immense frustration and the very real threat of suffering another heatstroke.

Seriously, what was it with Terryn and exhausting himself on hot summer days like these? Why couldn't he just go vibe at a pool somewhere?

"Please work?" Terryn begged of his phone, trying his best to get some sort of navigational app to not crash in the span of a millisecond. But alas, the reception was totally bogus.

Terryn huffed, stretching his back as his phone slid back into his pocket. What a mess he'd gotten himself into today. Could things honestly get any worse?

A creeping shadow suddenly swallowed him and his motorcycle from behind. Terryn immediately turned to face whatever it was that snuck up behind him to find a gigantic boulder careen straight toward him.

Yes. Things could get much, much worse.

Seeing certain death fly straight toward you had a way of triggering your fight-or-flight instinct. In Terryn's case, 'fight' usually took the lead.

An uncontrollable aura of flame momentarily blazed around Terryn as his teeth grit instinctively. He launched a wide punch straight toward the boulder that shattered the thing into thousands of tiny pieces.

Shards of rock and pebble scattered along the vicinity, some blown away by the massive gust of wind that trailed Terryn's blow.

When Terryn opened his eyes, he was surprisingly still alive. He briefly looked behind himself to see that the same couldn't be said for his motorcycle- the residual rocks had blasted numerous holes straight through it's chassis.

"Shit! Shit shit shit...!" Terryn hissed to himself, adrenaline running rampant.

His eyes shot toward the horizon, where the boulder was launched from. Sights narrowed and narrowed, and right there, in the far, far distance he saw it. A vague glimpse.

So that's who'd been watching him...?!

Terryn momentarily enters his (x2)Fired Up to destroy the boulder for flavour, then returns to base.

Ise let out a sigh as she released the boulder, as much as part of her enjoyed the general feeling of freedom she got from cutting loose and just sort of wrecking things… it was not ACTUALLY helping her much, for a while she had thought it was that she could maybe just let out all of her fury and just sort of ‘run out’ and go back to how she had been before.

But it seemed her anger (and sadness though she was less willing to put thoughts into that first) seemed to be rather far from a finite thing. Still though it was a bit FUN so perhaps she would give it one more go before trying to figure out something else to do.

Ise moved to grab hold of another boulder, intend on chucking it at max power into another pillar of stone only to feel a sudden spike of power from nearby, not realizing it was actually where she had thrown the first rock Ise let out a long frustrated growl thinking it was someone else who was going to attack her.

Their power dimmed but she could still feel it, with another annoyed growl Ise pointed her finger in the general area of the signature, if whoever this was wanted to play sneaky she would make it clear she wanted NO PART of whatever they had in mind.

She let loose a powerful but thin line of energy angled slightly downward so that it would eventually hit the ground near to the signature, and then she would swipe her hand in the figure's direction letting the blast rip through the landscape and tear everything in its path apart.

Terryn was at a loss for what to do in situations like these. The boy had never been in a real fight. Never had the misfortune of being attacked by someone as strong as him, god forbid someone supposedly as strong as the blur staring him down in the horizon.

Could he run? Was he fast enough to escape and hide under some rocks, somewhere? He doubted it- in a wasteland like this, there was little to run toward.

...Was he going to die? Man, that'd be a lame way to go...

A thin line of energy suddenly cut through the ongoing silence, carving into the stone directly infront of Terryn. The ray of energy mercilessly sliced through the rock for miles, effortlessly melting through mountains and plateaus and destroying everything in it's path.

"F-FUUH! H-HEY, HEEEYY!!-" Terryn shouted, trying to overpower the screeching noise of Ki sizzling through the air. The Earthling crouched low and began coughing madly as a cloud of dust and gravel engulfed him entirely.

A million thoughts ran through Terryn's head; Had his assailant just missed, or was it some kinda warning shot? Whatever it was, there was no use in passivity anymore. Another one of those beams and Terryn would've been toast!

"C-Can you...!? Kh-Khuff-Haack...!" Terryn waved away the last remnants of dust and cleared his throat loudly, before looking up at the stranger with blurred vision. "Could you stop trying to kill me for two seconds?!" Terryn yelled at them, stepping over the crack in the stone with his arms held up to show that he was surrendering. His gaze remained steadfast and suspicious though, prepared for the possibility of another random attack like the previous.

After a bit of walking, Terryn finally saw the boulder-tosser in more detail. A woman, clad in some rad-looking armor. If he were to wager a guess, Terryn'd say she was an off-worlder. That'd explain that monstrous power...

"Okay, here, you got me." Terryn nodded toward her. "I don't want trouble. What do you want from me? My money? 'Cause I don't have any cash on me." He sighed out, trying his best to sound confident. Deep down however, his heart was pounding a million beats a second, terrified of what this lady could do to him. Terryn was still under the impression that he was being mugged, not just a random obstacle in the way of Ise's wanton destruction.

Ise let out another annoyed growl as she picked up on the fact her beam had missed her target entirely, sure she had not focused on them enough to guarantee a hit but her plan had been to fire off the attack to show the could-be-attacker that she was not in a mood to be ambushed and to hopefully send them running away at top speed.

Instead she sensed them actually moving TOWARD her which only served to annoy her more, she debated just sending a more powerful attack directly at them, now that they were approaching she had her senses entirely focused on them and at least for the moment they were quite weak though there was no guarantee they would stay that way, already she had sensed that they could raise their power at least a bit.

It stood to reason that they might be able to raise it further to a properly dangerous level and Ise remained on guard as they approached scowling down at them once they were close enough that she was reasonably certain he could discern her expression.

It was to her surprise however that he seemed under the impression that she was… trying to rob him? Tilting her head Ise sighed and hopped down from the pillar to stand before the man and rather quickly regretted it as now HE was the one that was looking down on her due to the height difference between them.

“I don’t want anything, I assumed you were another idiot trying to start a fight with me. Go away I’m trying to blow stuff up!” Ise said with an annoyed huff, she had not had any plans on being particularly conversational now and it was throwing her off trying to not let her fury into her words as she spoke to what she assumed was an Earthling.

Terryn could literally feel his heart pound in his throat as he stood below the remnants of a rocky pillar the woman who assaulted him stood upon. He looked up at her with defiant, terrified eyes. Hands still stuck in the air to showcase surrender, he'd simply stand there and wait for her to do...Well, whatever it was she had in mind.

Honestly, Terryn was hoping she'd just take his wallet and scram.

The Earthling instinctively took a step back as the girl jumped down and faced Terryn directly. Almost immediately afterwards, the fear in Terryn's heart was replaced with...Confusion? She definitely seemed a lot taller when she stood on that high place.

Was she...Just a kid?

"I...Hold on, you actually thought I was aiming on fighting you?" Terryn's hands slowly sagged back down as his head tilted to the side. "...Going off of that giant chasm you carved infront of me, I don't think attacking you is very smart. Don't really feel like dying today."

Whatever it was with this kid, she seemed awfully...Upset. Breaking things to vent frustration was something Terryn could relate to an awful lot. Kinda reminded him of how he was back when he was a kid. Made him feel remorse for her, despite being nearly killed by her thirty seconds ago.

"If you want me to go, I'll go, but you seem...Really, really pissed off." Terryn paused for a second. "Why don't you tell me what's wrong? Talking about things usually helps me when I feel really damn angry."

Terryn's posture relaxed a bit to show her he was being genuine. If she really wanted him to leave, he'd just do that, but it was worth a shot to try and talk to her.

Ise narrowed her eyes as the Earthling made it clear he was rather confused about the whole situation, apparently the power surge of his had NOT been quite what she had expected like her little adventure in the desert and he had no intentions of attacking her, or at least he claimed as much. It left her wondering why he had powered up at all, at least she wondered for a few moments before a spike of realization made its way through the haze of anger and frustration.

The boulder. Her arrival had launched a number of small rocks flying in addition to the larger one she had thrown out wildly, perhaps she had tossed it in his direction? That… certainly would explain things quite a bit better considering how nervous the Earthling seemed to be, the fact he was not pushing his power any higher also likely meant even if the rock nearly hitting him MIGHT have encouraged him to try and fight her he perhaps realized he stood no chance?

He in fact more or less confirmed he believed he had no chance against her even if not strictly confirming her assumptions on why.

Ise let out a sigh, of course she would nearly kill a random bystander in what should have been a nearly uninhabited part of the planet.

She was half ready to just shake her head and take off to continue venting her anger a few miles away when the Earthling seemed to shift gears and spoke up again noting her general anger and asking her why. “My Father..” Ise had not really planned on responding but the words just started coming out and with them her entire demeanor changed, the fury melting away into sadness “he’s dead… killed... I couldn't help him, I SHOULD have though” Kayfor’s efforts to convince her otherwise had very little impact on the sort-of guilt Ise felt for not being able to save her Father, as he had saved her.

She was hesitant to speak. Terryn could tell that much.

As much of an idiot as the Earthling was, he'd always been a people person. Seeing a kid like her so utterly frustrated and volatile struck a chord with Terryn. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her, despite not having the slightest clue what the issue was. For all he knew, someone stole her ice cream.

If only that was the issue.

"Your...He was...?" Terryn felt his voice tremble as she uttered the words. Murder. Someone murdered this girl's father. Immediately, Terryn took a breath in, eyes blinking rapidly as he tried to let her words sink in. There was obvious guilt, and a lot of it. "Shit..." Is all Terryn could say initially, letting out a soft sigh.

The Earthling remained silent for a moment, smacking his lips as he mulled over his words. What to say to her? 'I'm sorry?' as if that would've helped her in the slightest...

"...Let's sit for a bit. Come on."

Terryn had gestured toward a stone that jutted from the ground beside them, big enough for the two to sit on and let it all sink in. The Earthling sat down and looked up at Ise with an inviting, understanding expression.

"You don't have to tell me anything you don't want to, alright?" He made sure to reassure Ise of that fact. "I can't begin to imagine how difficult it must be, so...yeah."

At this point, Terryn had almost entirely forgotten about what happened earlier. He wasn't one to hold a grudge. His destroyed motorcycle was an afterthought at this point.

"What's your name? Mine's Terryn."

Terryn wasn't sure how much the kid cared for names, but in his mind, it was the polite thing to do. Felt weird to talk about dead relatives without knowing each other's names.

"So...Hey." Terryn glanced sideways to look at her. "Your dad, what was he like? He must've been pretty awesome to raise a kid like you that can toss boulders and scorch an entire wasteland like it's nothing." He said with a faint, melancholic chuckle.

Terryn could tell she was really broken up about it all, and who wouldn't be? To feel like you had to seclude yourself in a Wasteland to vent your anger...This kid probably had no one to talk to. No one to vent her grief toward.

Terryn hoped he was doing the right thing, here.
