Gandigan gave a look over the courtyard, where all of his plans for the future lay. "Yes... any sort of sparring here could lead to some damage. Wouldn't want all of this work to go to waste. The Outer Plait has plenty of spots that should work for us though; in fact there's a place that I have in mind that should work quite well for us. I'll lead the way there." Gandigan took off into the air, keeping a pace that he presumed Apexle would be able to keep up with.
"I found this place back when I was still planning on building some grand city. Obviously cities need people, so I was attempting to recruit some of the local clans to join me in forming a new clan. In the end I only got a couple of the smaller ones to tag along, and even then I could tell they weren't fully invested. That was around the time I was beginning to realize that maybe my plans needed to change. The Mazoku viewed me as an outsider because I didn't understand them, and that's why they didn't believe in me."
After a few minutes of flying the clearing came into view. Within a dense forest there was a small patch of open land which was split down the middle by a river. Gandigan landed on the south side and waited for Apexle to touch down. "Here we are. As you alluded to earlier I do have a bit of an advantage in strength over you now. You want me to hold back my power a little to keep things even or would you prefer me to go all out?"
Apexle gave a smirk towards Gandigan. "As expected Gandigan you know the land well" He stated before the pair even took off. He figured if Gandigan had decided to claim this land that he must have some knowledge of the vast areas that Apexle himself hadn't explored. Although the Tufyan never really explored outside of the Outer plait area either. As Gandigan sped off Apexle tried his best to keep pace with the Namekian, however the time they spent apart showed a clear result. Gandigan was much further ahead than him, and it took everything Apexle had to keep their distance somewhat close even if it was nearly thirty feet apart with the Namekian pushing the distance further.
Apexle was barely able to make out what Gandigan had said with the distance between them. "Yeah! But I'm sure more will come along after your name is spread around the Planet" Apexle shot back with a louder tone. Attempting to have Gandigan hear him even beyond the large distance they had between themselves.
Apexle was relieved as he followed Gandigan into the clearing letting himself land on the northern side of the area right in front of Gandigan. As soon as he touched down the Tufyan began to stretch while listening to Gandigan. "I wouldn't mind the handicap, but I'd rather we fight in our base forms. You know maybe we'll destroy less of the forest around us" Apexle spoke back finally finishing his stretches as his toes began to push his heels up sending him bouncing in place. "I'm ready whenever you are. Feel free to start us" Apexle said with a smile back towards Gandigan assuming the Namekian would happily start them off.
"Yeah, base forms would probably be for the best; I'd rather not have Namek know my full power until necessary. Let my foes stay guessing as to what they're up against." Even out here they probably weren't alone. Some villages with suppressed powers were out in the distance he bet; watching on to see what the strangers were up to. He didn't mind any of that, as long as none of them tried to interfere. To keep things competitive Gandigan lowered his power down to match with Apexle: fifty thousand, which was less than half of what he was capable of.
"You're definitely in need of sparring I think. Fifty thousand? You were around the same strength as the last time we spoke weren't you? Marimba has reached over eighty thousand now, and others are stronger too. Nero is around the same strength as I, and his friend Zhalla is stronger than us both. Hopefully I can still find some time to spar once the crown is upon my head."
Apexle was a hard worker; even if he had fallen behind now, he expected the Tufyan would be able to catch up soon enough. All he needed was the right training partner to help him get there. "Letting me have the first strike? Very well." Gandigan started off light; Apexle had mentioned being a bit rusty, so they'd have to work into things. Rushing towards Apexle, the Namekian extended his right arm out in front of him. Protracting his claws, Gandigan aimed to graze them across the Tufyan's chest.
"Well said. A good warrior knows what to hide and what to show after all" Apexle commented. He agreed with Gandigan he had too many eyes on him due to his ambition. Apexle didn't want to reveal either of their true strength to the Namekians whom weren't allied to Gandigan so soon.
"I'd agree. Fifty thousand sounds like a good place. After all we wont have to worry about destroying mountains if we take it at that pace. You wont need to worry though. I'm sure once I've bled myself a bit my power will soar after the battle" Apexle promised with a gleam of interest in his eyes. "Normally I wouldn't, but since it's you I'll also avoid my blood getting on you. I got a nice trick to make sure you stay clean" Apexle said with a joking tone towards Gandigan as he cracked his neck. "Don't worry. Crown or no crown I'll spar with you Gandigan. Just if you do have a crown it'll need to be out of sight so your residents are none the wiser" Apexle said with a smile taking up his own battle stance.
Apexle watched as the Namekian spoke. "Of course. I'm always a gentleman" Apexle shot back as Gandigan raced towards him. The Tufyan took in a breath as he lowered his upper body downward as he rushed forward with his right hand to his right shoulder. As the two grew closer Gandigan launched an arm out towards Apexle. "Bladed Fingers" The Tufyan spoke as ki surrounded his fingers on his right hand.
Just as quickly his hand slammed against the arm lunging towards him. Dealing no damage, however the Tufyan was quick to kick himself off the ground attempting to have his bare hand glide over the Namekians skin. Twisting his body in the air and attempting to send his hell into Gandigan's jaw. All in hopes of pushing the Namekian back, but deal no real damage to his ally.

Apexle seemed to warm up quickly, as he was able to deftly counter Gandigan's claw strike with his own maneuver, before slamming into the Namekian's jaw. Gandigan felt himself pushed back, but he dug his heels into the ground and refused to move any more than that. He did his best to shake off the damage from Apexle's strike and continue on. "Impressive. Maybe you aren't as rusty as you led on?" Or maybe Gandigan was just holding back too much?
Gandigan hopped back several times, creating some separation between the two of them. He eyed the Tufyan up, and tried to look for any sort of weakness he could exploit, but so far he hadn't really seen enough of his fighting to really have a good idea on where to strike next.... whatever he came up with, it had to pack more of a punch that his last shot did.
"Warm up's over. Let's see how you handle this." Gandigan rushed in again, though this time it was only a fake. Attempting to strike the same as before, Gandigan once again reached out with his arm. This time however he leapt into the air just before reaching Apexle. Once he had some decent height over the Tufyan Gandigan opened up his mouth and took in several deep breaths. Once fully charged he fired his Shugeki wave down upon Apexle.
When Apexle felt his heel connect he realize just how strong Gandigan must have become. Had anyone else taken a strike like that they'd most like had been on their rear ends asking the Kai's above to rescue them. Apexle couldn't help but smirk at Gandigan. "Oh no. There is definitely some rust on these bones of mine, but I picked up that move one Earth not too long ago" Apexle managed to get out as his feet met the ground once more. He figured Gandigan would keep a gap. Assuming the namekian was more of a ranged combatant than someone who preferred Melee.
Apexle gave a curious smile towards Gandigan as he distanced the gap. His eyes scanning up and down Apexle. "Don't worry Gandigan I promise it was just a lucky blow" The Tufyan cooed as he let his arms fall to his sides limp as a dead fish swaying from left to right in a rhythmic motion. "I'm sure I got a beat down with my name on it coming" The Tufyan predicted with a friendly tone as the two looked over eachother.
Apexle would easily admit he was outclassed. Gandigan wasn't showing the ruthless side he'd seen when Amon took over. For that he felt a good bit of relief seeing as the Namekian could easily power up and break his body with ease.
Apexle's eyes watched as Gandigan spoke once more, and then quickly took to the air. His lip screaming what seemed like an attack, and in response just as quick Apexle's legs tensed up filling with strength. "Black Shadow" The Tufyan spoke as he kicked off the ground at extreme speeds leaving behind a shadowy image of himself that was quickly engulfed by the explosive beam. It took but a millisecond to engulf the shadow and turn the ground where he once stood into a crater.
Just as quickly Apexle appeared on the ground behind Gandigan. "That. That was dangerous" The Tufyan teased from behind and below the Namekian. "Guess I'm lucky I'm pretty quick" The Tufyan said in a jest as he took several paces further back watching Gandigan with thoughtful eyes. As if inspecting his every move very carefully.

Just as quickly as Gandigan fired his Shugeki wave Apexle had already avoided it, leaving behind a shadowy figure which was eviscerated by the attack. A touch of frustration came over the Namekian watching his first two attacks miss the mark, leaving him questioning what to do next. Apexle had proven to be able to protect himself well enough, but still he refused to actually attack. "You'll get more out of this sparring if you strike as well; else this is really just target practice for me."
Gandigan spun and starred Apexle down. What was he to do next? He couldn't strike with any of the techniques he had already used; that would just make him look like a fool. So what else did he have up his sleeve? Gandigan thought for a moment, before finally settling on something he thought might do the trick.
"But if you're so insistent on being a target then I guess I may as well get a few more reps in." Gandigan shot his right arm up into the air. Channeling his energy upwards, Gandigan forced his ki out above his palm, forming a wide, flat disc over his head. "I don't think I've ever actually used this technique on a living target before, so let's see how well it works." Gandigan took one step forward before bringing his arm down and chucking his energy disc at Apexle.
Apexle let out a laugh. "I already hit you though" He said with a childish smile back to the Namekian as he spoke. "That's one for me. none for you" The Tufyan had to tease as the Namekian turned on him. The Tufyan was below him. His cloak flowing as a nice breeze blew threw the clearing as if battling against the wave of air that Gandigan had created. "You have to remember Gandigan I'm a Tufyan. We fight a bit differently" Apexle announced to his comrade.
Gandigan had faced him. Once again scanning over his body. Perhaps figuring out what the Tufyan was planning. Or perhaps examining the distance. Apexle couldn't be certain as his right hand moved up unclipping his robe to reveal his all white outfit underneath. His hand stood next to his shoulder as he listened to Gandigan once more.
"More reps? You must want to be as muscle bound as Marimba don't you?" Apexle teased as he noticed Gandigan's arm raise well above his head. The Ki around him gathering into his palm, and finally a disk like shape formed. Thin enough to rival that of a stick, however the surface reminded him of the assault pod he'd landed in. "Using me as a test subject? Not the first time this has happened" Apexle teased back. A smile brimming on his lips.
"I'll see your new trick with my old one! BLADED FINGERS!" Apexle proclaimed as his fingers were once again coated in Ki, and with diagonal path moved forward, however this time the ki from his fingers extended out far enough to touch Gandigan before swinging forward slamming into the disk, and after a brief struggle cutting through the disk moving forward in a stabbing motion towards Gandigan's left shoulder attempting to break the skin of his companions shoulder and not run him through.

Apexle was content to use the same technique as he had before, though this time it was definitely more powerful. His empowered fingers sliced through Gandigan's disc but carried on, slamming into the shoulder of Gandigan who this time had to take a step back against Apexle's force. Gandigan rubbed his shoulder; it was bruised, and there was a bit of blood leaking out but nothing serious. He smiled as he looked back at Apexle, who was still yet to be hit by anything the Namekian had thrown.
"You shouldn't talk ill of Marimba; I doubt he'd hold anything back from you, and his power is over eighty thousand now. You could learn a thing or two from him." Despite his cherry tone Gandigan was growing frustrated. Everything he threw at Tufyan he somehow had an answer for; somehow Apexle knew a lot more about the Namekian than he knew about Apexle.
He was falling behind, and if he wanted to catch up then he was going to have to push things even further. "I suppose that last technique still needs a little bit of work on my part. But this next one's a classic; tried and tested." Gandigan once again rushed forward, but this time instead of leading with his arms he lead with his head. Upon getting in range the Mazoku would protract his fangs, attempting to dig them into the shoulder of Apexle.
Considering his Destron laced blood it was a risky tactic, but before making contact Gandigan attempted to charge his mouth in a similar fashion as he had with his Shugeki wave. This wasn't in any sort of effort to attack however; he instead was trying to line his mouth with ki so that he could destroy any blood that entered.
PL: 50,000 (110,000) Ki Boost + Mazoku Boost
7,500 vs 50,000 = 15%
Savage Bite = 70% - 1KP - N/A = 35,000 aimed at Apexle
Apexle allowed his ki to disperse from his fingers giving a whistle. "Yaknow I honestly didn't think I'd hit you with that." Apexle admitted. He was sure the Namekian could have avoided it, but most likely allowed it to hit him only out of the kindness of his heart and not because he had no other choice. Apexle couldn't help but widen his own smile as Gandigan smiled back at him. Obviously enjoying himself against Apexles style of fighting.
"I wasn't speaking Ill of Marimba. I've been hit by him, and I can attest that he is one hundred percent muscle" Apexle shot back to clarify himself to Gandigan. A smile still hung on the Tufyan's face as the two were head to head. He couldn't help but feel as though Gandigan wasn't trying his hardest.
"I love the sound of tha-" Was all Apexle was able to get out as Gandigan lunged forward once more his body moving in a different motion this time. Instead of his arms the Namekian's head come first. His jaws parted, and immediately Apexle realized what his friend was planning. "YOU'RE A MAD MAN!" Apexle screamed as his left arm raised.
His left arm raised to shoulder level. Apexle didn't try to defend, but instead sent his arm down the Namekians throat down to his shoulder as seething teeth bit into his shoulder. Sending a massive spray of blood around the pair. Sending nearly crippling pain throughout his entire body. It took a moment as the Tufyan fought back the pain of having large mandibles stuck into his shoulder. "But. That makes two of us" Apexle spoke through rasping breaths as the Namekian wouldn't taste the foul liquid, however Apexle tilted his arm ever so slightly allowing whatever blood was released inside Gandigan's mouth to trickle further as the Tufyan attempted to pull his shoulder from the teeth lodged in it.

It felt good to finally land a hit on Apexle, but have the Tufyan's arm does his throat was anything but. Gandigan knew that sticking around for too long would cause excess blood to pour out, and the more blood that came out meant a higher chance of him ingesting some. That would be a battle he didn't want to fight, so he was forced to release his jaw from Apexle's arm before any serious damage could be done. He took several steps back before spitting on the ground several times over.
"I hope I didn't get any of that stuff in me. It was a risky move, but I knew it had a good chance of catching you off guard. If I did consume any then I suppose we'll have to go visit Nero after this; it wouldn't be the first time he purged my body of a foreign toxin before." Apexle's arm was looking pretty nasty right about now, but this spar was far from over.
"You've seen how many of my techniques now? Four is it? I've given you quite the show. But now I wanna see something of yours, and not just that trick with your fingers again. Why don't you show me something big this time?" Gandigan was breathing heavily between words. Going on the offensive had sapped him of a lot of energy, and now he was in need of sitting back for a while. That could give him the opportunity to finally see what the Tufyan was hiding.
As Gandigan's teeth left the Tufyan's skin it was surprising that none seemed to pour out further as the Tufyan willed his blood to stay inside. He wasn't done yet, and he was still very much awake and alive. With luck he intended to keep things that way. Watching as Gandigan took a few paces back obviously thinking over the harm that Apexle's blood might do to him the Tufyan gave a thin smile letting the Namekian speak.
"Don't worry. You won't need any medical treatment. It's more or less a tranquilizer as I've said before" Apexle said his brow raised. "You may however feel a bit tired and weakened, but I made sure that most of it except for a few drops stayed on my arm" Apexle explained to the Namekian. "Although knowing what you do I'm surprise you took the risk on little ol me" The Tufyan teased as the wounds on his arm shown clearly now.
"Ahh you want to see one of my tricks? I don't have the ki to show my ace in the hole, but I can most definitely show you something new" Apexle said as his right hand raised. His hand cusped as if holding something. "Gungnir" The Tufyan spoke as ki began to swirl into his hand much like Gandigan's disk. Instead it took the form of a spear almost made of light. Lightning seemed to crackle from it as Apexle threw his hand forward releasing the homing spear towards Gandigan's left leg letting the air crack around it as lightning seemed to spark off it.

"Sometimes to win you have to take risks. Even if you know the odds are bad; some chance to win is better than no chance." Gandigan believed in taking the initiative in battle. Always force your opponent to react to you, and not the other way around. It helped if you knew what your opponent was capable of, but often times you didn't have that luxury. The more he could tease out of Apexle, the better his chances would be to come out on top. Even in a spar, the Namekian wanted to win.
Gandigan watched on as Apexle channeled his ki into form, eventually taking shape into some sort of spear. When the Tufyan had said 'Gungnir' some sort of bell went off in Gandigan's head, as though he had heard or see Apexle use this technique before, but they had spent so much time away from each other that he couldn't be sure on that.
The spear flew at Gandigan with great speed; so much so that he had barely any time to react. His instincts told him to cover his chest as it was the largest target to aim for, yet Apexle had instead targeted Gandigan's leg which was completely exposed. The lightning infused spear tore through the Namek's quad muscle, going in one end and out the other with ease. Gandigan had brought his leg up in the last second out of desperation but wasn't quick enough, and when he tried to step back down he collapsed.
"Ahhh.... I suppose after nearly biting your arm off I deserved that." Down on your ass was no way to fight, yet Gandigan could only slowly get back to his feet, gingerly putting weight down onto his wounded leg. "You wouldn't mind taking this to the air, would you? I think my leg is going need a bit of time before I can move on it?" Gandigan was already slightly hovering off the ground.
Gandigan was still taking his time gathering energy. After that last attack Apexle would probably need a bit of time to recover as well, which meant a short respite from any further damage. Gandigan was eager to take advantage of that, always wanting to take action when he could. Dashing through the air, Gandigan tried to drive a knee into Apexle's gut, before following up by bringing his hands together and attempting to spike the back of his head.
Apexle gave a glance towards Gandigan the entire time it took for his spear to meet Gandigan's flesh. Although he didn't enjoy putting a hole in the Namekian he didn't have a choice considering his spear technique was meant to draw blood any time it could. The comment Gandigan had made prior passed completely over the Tufyan's head as his face winced at seeing Gandigan's leg grow a new hole. He knew it must have hurt worst compared to the bite wound he'd received. However the comment Gandigan made after brought a laugh and smile back to the Tufyan's face.
"A bite or a hole in the leg. Neither of our wounds sound fun to have" Apexle jested back to Gandigan. "Sorry for the hole, but that technique doesn't hold back it's more or less a move I save in case I really need to hurt someone" Apexle explained as Gandigan fought to get to his feet. "I don't mind moving to the air. With the ruckus we've been making I'm sure nobody is still around" Apexle agreed knowing that Gandigan was better off nursing his leg. The Tufyan wasn't against ending their spar there, however he felt as though that might be disrespectful to Gandigan's warrior pride, and thus his only option was to agree.
As the two made their way into the air. Apexle enjoyed the soft breeze that was blowing against his torn flesh. Taking a moment to balance himself in the air before the fight began again.
Gandigan started them off once more. Apexle watched as with blinding speed the Namekian closed the distance between them. He barely had time to react as Gandigan's knee slammed into his gut causing him to curl in the air a bit, however as Gandigan would raise his hands high in the sky and joining them together, Apexle would reach out for the garb the Namekian used to cover his torso. Attempting to grasp ahold and pull while bringing his head up in an attempt to headbutt the Namekian hoping it would stagger him and allow Apexle to avoid the assault from the Namekians joined hands.

{Info} UNDERDOG If you are below 80% of an opponent's PL, your techniques can now fizzle against theirs so long as they are within 60% of their power. Additionally, you can still fizzle against techniques with Overflowing. This only applies if your technique is the weaker one.

Power Boost - Additional +10% Transformation Boost - Gain an additional +x1 per 150k base PL, starting at 0. Caps at +x3. Ki Boost - Subtract an additional -1 KP from cost.
If a Companion is defeated and their base PL is not within 50% of your base PL, Avenger is not triggered. Guardians are exempt from this.

Other (Speech: "Text") Apexle's gut was rudely acquainted with Gandigan's knee, and the Tufyan attempts to grab the Namekian's garb using the back of his head to headbutt Gandigan. +2 kp, +1 MP
Gandigan's knee found it's mark quite easily, slamming into the Tufyan's gut and forcing him to double over. He was eager to follow up with a heavy spike but Apexle moved first, grabbing a hold of the Namekian's gi and pulling him into a headbutt. Gandigan found himself dazed, and instantly pulled away from Apexle in the hopes of avoiding any sort of follow up. It appeared the Tufyan was taking mercy on him by not throwing anything else out with the headbutt.
Gandigan reached up and placed his hand over his forehead, gently rubbing the now bruised skin. It took a few moments but eventually his mind returned back to normal. "You're not going easy on me, are you? I was dazed. You should have followed up with something else." Gandigan didn't like the idea that Apexle might have been going easy on him; even if this was a spar he liked to replicate real world situations.
In any case, Gandigan was eager to get back into things. As soon as he was done talking he rushed back into the fray, throwing a barrage of weaker punches against Apexle. In the storm of fists the Namek protracted his claws once again, and waited for the right opportunity. Once he felt it was ready he threw out another clawed strike, this time trying to the Tufyan in the gut. If he was able to hit that then he'd follow up by slamming an elbow into his jaw.
