Gandigan was about ready to leave Plant, but there was still one final thing he needed to check off before he could go: he still hadn't gotten to see his Super Saiyan. He wasn't going to rely on an audience with the King, and Zuci had been rather vague with the names or locations of the others; all except for one. She had mentioned that the prisoner being held for launching this past 'attack' was himself a Super Saiyan. He was surprised to hear the Saiyan infighting had gotten that bad, but it did present him with an opportunity.

Once Gandigan began looking for it his power level was hard to ignore. Whoever this guy was, he must have been the most powerful person that the Namekian had ever felt before, and that was including Nero, Zhalla, Usumidori and all the rest back on home on Namek, and what's more is that there was a chance he was still holding back. It would have been a terrible thing to leave Plant without getting into touch with this Saiyan, and figuring out what his deal was.

Why had he decided to attack Hatchi? And why did the other Saiyans choose to fight against him? Gandigan knew that the Saiyans and Tuffles had some sort of peace agreement but... if the opportunity to settle this war once and for all was there then why not take it? At the very least why not let this guy do his business unimpeded; if he wins you can take over and if he losses you can protect yourselves by not being involved. Risking your own lives to take him down just didn't make a whole lot of sense to Gandigan.

And so Gandigan waited. A power like this? They weren't going to be able to keep him under their control forever. Sooner or later the attacker was going to recover from his wounds, and that's when Gandigan made his move. He kept his power as low as he could while tracking him, following the source out to the wastes belonging to neither Saiyan or Tuffle. They'd probably be all alone out here... his life in the hands of a reported mad man. Gandigan wouldn't make anything easy for him.

Before long his mark slowed down, giving Gandigan the opportunity to catch up and make his presence known. "You there! Saiyan!" The man before him stood maybe a foot taller than the Namekian, and probably had a good hundred pounds over him too. Gandigan was hardly intimidating next to this guy, but maybe he was just as dumb as every other Saiyan and he could use that to his advantage. "You are the one they call madman? The one who tried to destroy Hatchi? The Super Saiyan?!"

Lottus had been seated atop a large boulder, tearing off the flesh of a roasted Sabiabeast leg when the voice called out to him. Lottus grunts and tosses the mostly bone limb to the ground, having eaten the majority of the actually edible meat. He hops off the boulder, and lands with both feet planted on the ground with a heavy TOOOM at the impact. Lottus draws himself up to his full height, letting his black furred tail wrap around his waist. He is now larger due to gaining further control over his Wrathful State. Lottus had not yet returned to wearing the traditional Saiyan battle armor - instead opting for the Shinjin outfit of black and blues that Ward had given him.

Apparently, it being made by Shinjin Magic also made it so that the fabric seemed to mend itself after a time, and his size changing hadn't affected how well he could put it back on.

Lottus' once grey-black irises are now a blood red, akin to how the Oozaru's entire eyes turned such a color. Lottus regards the being now standing before him... what were they called again? ...That shriveled being that was shown to him through images came to mind... Namekian! That was it. This was another of that Shroom person's people.

"That depends on who you listen to." he says, looking the Namekian over. He could barely sense any power coming from them - but that didn't mean anything. He'd now fought many enemies that could mask their true power. "For whatever good it is, I was the first Super Saiyan before it started being a bargain sale for the others. Madman is what people afraid of me like to call me; my name is Lottus."

He slightly tilts his head to the side.

"So then, are you one of that Shroom character's servants? I told his little minion that I'd meet him on my own terms." Lottus inquires.

KP: 6/6
MP: 0/6
HP: 0/250%
WC: 322

Traits: Restrained Might (Active), Saiyan Pride (Inactive), Combat Learning (1), Burning Ki (1)

Items: Bottled Water

UT's Active: Controlled Malice, Wrathful Aura, Horrifying Countenance

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}
Utility Technique || Controlled Malice
Description: Lottus has learned to control his Wrathful State to a large degree. While not as "bulky" as normal, Lottus stands at an imposing 7'5", rather than the full powered bulk that puts him at over 8' in height while active, and his coal black eyes now glint with a blood red coloration. Lottus' contained fury can be felt as if the malice were a physical presence.

Utility Technique || Wrathful Aura
Description: When Wrathful State (transformation), Transformation, or technique utilizing the word Wrath/Wrathful in the name is active, Lottus focuses the corrupting power onto his foe, trying to frenzy them with the same bloodlust that he experiences trying to control or make them go berserk with rage.

Requirements: First and foremost, this ability affects other players' characters negatively - therefore, in order for them to be afflicted with Berserk the player being affected must give express permission that their character can be affected. Secondly, Lottus can only use Wrathful Aura when using a transformation that includes Wrathful in the name. And thirdly, the ONLY way Wrathful Aura can affect a target is through physical contact. Melee attacks made by Lottus, and against Lottus only. Ki Blast techniques (that do not involve physically touching Lottus) are not subject to the Wrathful Aura's effect.

Enemy characters cannot be afflicted with Berserk more that two times per thread. Players determine for themselves how long the effects of Berserk apply to their character(s).

Utility Technique || Horrifying Countenance
Description: When Lottus utilizes his Wrathful State, other Transformation, or technique utilizing the word Wrath/Wrathful in the name is active, Lottus' terrifying aura gives the impression of almost twice the power he truly possesses, making him appear far more dangerous and intimidating to behold.

Note: Lottus' PL does NOT actually change - it tricks Ki Sensing users into feeling vastly more power than is actually there. Scouter users are unaffected, as this ability is a sensation, not a true power boost. Additionally, skillful, or much more powerful enemies cannot be tricked by this ability.

So he was a Super Saiyan after all, and apparently the first of his kind. His power was impressive, though Gandigan was still a little disappointed at what he was sensing. He was powerful... but not insurmountable. "Lottus huh? A Super Saiyan who tried to destroy Hatchi, but was beaten by another Super Saiyan. The King, if I'm not mistaken? I guess that makes you a traitor. Yet you're the one who's trying to destroy the Tuffles while he tries to save them. How did that mess start?"

Politics were apart of being King, and Gandigan was going to have to dive in eventually whether he wanted to or not. In the future there may come a time where he's negotiating alliances between his people and others, which may include off world entities. It'd be nice to know how the Saiyans fit in to everything.

He wasn't expecting any mention of Shroom today; he and the Dragon Clansman had ended their last encounter of extremely bad terms. He hadn't seen him since he threatened to kill him, despite his best efforts to track him down. "Shroom? You know Shroom? I guess he must have traveled to Plant huh? I'm no minion of his; last time I saw him I promised I'd kill him one day. Been tracking him ever since. He makes contact with you again then let me know. Whatever sort of deal you're looking to cut with him isn't worth it; he can't be trusted."

But none of that answered the Saiyan's question. "My name is Gandigan, and I've come on my own terms." Honestly he didn't see much sense in hiding his intentions any more; they'd probably make it out to the rest of the galaxy in the coming weeks; if anyone wanted to come and stop him then they'd know where to go anyway.

"You obviously know I'm a Namekian. I'll be back home soon, but before I go I wanted to get an understanding of how things work on Plant. There's going to big changes on Namek soon, and I may have to deal with Saiyans again in the future."

Lottus considers the first question, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Let's just say I'm not a proponent of peace." Lottus grins. "Tuffles invented a little bio-weapon called Destron. It's a nasty way to die, and a coward's tactic. But I wasn't trying to destroy the Tuffles; I was trying to destroy their ability to make more Destron, regardless of this little armistice between them and the Kingdom. Well, turns out my people have gone soft, and decided I was the better one to destroy over ending our enemy once and for all. To each their own, heh!"

Gandigan introduces himself after remarking about that Shroom person.

"Gandigan, then." Lottus repeats. "No, Shroom didn't come here. I've never met him - one of his lackies came looking for me and talked him up. And you can come along if you want - I don't really care if you kill them. His lackey's offer sounded like there was blood to spill, and I'm not averse to it. If he chose the dumb decision to somehow betray me, I'll just kill him and move on."

Lottus tilts his head.

"And don't bother trying to get tableside with the monarchs - there's a new one every few months or year. And most of the generals are feeling more like expanding - you strike a deal, and you probably mark your planet as a potential target." he says, still grinning. "As far as how things go, we Saiyans are a warrior race - if you don't have power, or capability as a warrior, you aren't worth the time to strike deals with in the first place."

Lottus jerks his chin at Gandigan.

"And you wouldn't come to me with a pitiful little strength like that. All I get the sense from you is that you're weaker than a Saiyan infant." Lottus remarks. "Which means you're one of those people that like to hide your power somehow."

Lottus sneers at Gandigan.

"Drop the camouflage; let's see if you have power worth my time. If you're a weakling, then you can take a hike rather than waste my time." Lottus says. "Even Shroom's little pet gave off more power than what you're giving off, so don't hide it in front of me. It's insulting to be treated like an idiot that wouldn't notice."

"I've heard about Destron before. My friend Marimba warned be about it's potential; one of the reasons why I came to Plant was so that I could learn about it, and to assess it's threat to Namek. I even went in search of a city supposedly flooded with Destron, only to find no trace of the substance. I too would prefer it to be a non-factor, though I heard that your attack failed, so I suppose the Tuffles get to keep their toy for now." From the way Lottus talked Gandigan didn't expect him to be giving up the grudge any time soon.

It was good to hear that Lottus was no ally of Shroom, at least not yet. Gandigan was sure he'd kill the little bastard before he could move on with whatever offer he was trying to make with Lottus, assuming Lottus didn't go ahead and do the job himself. It didn't sound like he was hiding out on Plant, so Gandigan would have to try some place else.

"I think you misunderstand me. I've not come to make any alliances with the Saiyan monarch; as with the Tuffles I've come to assess their threat to Namek. The order of things is changing on Namek: a new Kingdom will be formed within the month, and the new King wants to know who his future enemies may be. Expansion is exactly the sort of thing that worries him; it wouldn't be the first time someone tried to conquer our home. I'm guessing you know these generals, so why don't you tell me about them?"

Lottus saw through his obvious power disguise, and like any Saiyan was eager to find out just how powerful the person he was speaking to was. "You're right. It's easier to move around like this, as I've learnt Saiyans don't like it when an alien is so much stronger than they are." Gandigan shrugged and did as he was asked, dropping his shroud and reveal the true extend to his base power. "Here you are. If you want me to transform you'll have to show me yours first. Now back to these enemies: who might our King be most troubled by on Plant?"

"I don't give a damn if you're an alien." Lottus retorts. "A warrior should never hide their strength; nor should you ever feel inclined to acquiesce to the mewlings of weaklings that might be afraid of that power. Wear your power as the badge that it is."

That aside, Lottus considers the rest of what Gandigan had to say.

"I don't know anything about your people, nor do I frankly care. If you want to go to war with the Saiyans, then feel free. Maybe it will harden them back up." Lottus replies at first. He had no lingering loyalties to anyone, really. He considered being difficult, making Gandigan work for that information. But there was a chance at having more fun if he just gave this Namekian what they were asking for. The Saiyans needed a proper war, so why not give this offworlder something to chew on? "If expansion worries your would-be King, then you're too weak. And that's exactly the kind of thing that will get your planet targeted."

Lottus then shrugs.

"You're looking at a Kingdom with at least two Super Saiyans besides myself. Probably a couple more that are close to it." he says, as if it were an idle conversation. "The schemer of the military brass is Vocado Bonewood. He has some hangers on like the pirate Kabe Bonewood that'll show up at his beck and call for just about any fight. Taori's a Super Saiyan, and so is a woman named Cato. You'll face at least that much minimum, never mind the small army of Saiyan soldiers that are worth anything in a battle. So unless you can meet that kind of power on an even field, you should rethink how you would want to potentially deal with Saiyans. And lastly - there's me. I'm everyone's problem."

Lottus grins.

"So what is it that you want with me specifically?" he asks. "Anyone with one eye and half their senses could have told you all that. What did you seek me out for?"

Lottus was a Saiyan through and through. His attitude towards power was exactly the sort of thing he expected to hear, and having dealt with more than a few Saiyans over the past week he knew better than try and convince him otherwise. "I can't say that our King wants a war; only that he wants to know what we're facing if that is to come to pass. Believe me when I say that our King is no weakling, but I think you'll find that out yourself soon enough. There's others too; a Saiyan woman just as powerful as you are, if my senses don't lie."

Gandigan took in the information Lottus had to share; some of it he already knew, but other morsels were happily devoured. Taori, Vocado and Cato were all the power players, with Vocado sounding like an especially sharp thorn. When he returned to Namek he'd make sure to ask around... maybe Zhalla knew more about them? Three Super Saiyans alone would be a tough enough task for now. Gandigan believed he could take one himself, and Nero another. If Zhalla could be relied upon then they could handle all three, but he wasn't sure about her.

"The reason why I've come to you is simple: you're an outsider. You call yourself a problem to everyone, yet you fought against the Saiyans not that long ago. In my eyes your a bigger problem to them than us. I didn't want to potentially tip our hand too early. If things were to come to blows between us and the Saiyans it's your position that interests us the most. You may consider yourself a free agent?"

Lottus listens to the Namekian, and considers.

"I am free." Lottus says after a few moments. "My position is that I will do as I please, and fight whomever I want to fight. Whether that means my fellow Saiyans, or you Namekians, depends on my mood, and if I happen to be on the planet where the fighting is going on."

Lottus uncrosses his arms, letting them hang loosely at his sides.

"I am the strongest Saiyan alive - and no one gets to command my power without being worthy of it." he says, a note of defiance in his tone. "No Gods, no Kings - never again. If you want my power to aid your little possible squabble, or you want me to stay out of it, then you have to impress me first. And I will never take orders or pleadings from beings weaker than myself."

Lottus points at Gandigan, a vicious smile playing out across his face.

"I have my own interests that don't include being a pawn of someone else's little chess board. And you sound like you want pieces in place for your own board. So, let me tell you where I fit in," Lottus says, lowering his arm and taking a step towards Gandigan. "I've decided to become a Destroyer. I'm not interested in raising kingdoms, defending worlds, or playing politics. I'm going to be the one people like you will rally to stop - I plan to reduce entire planets to little more than rubble."

His red eyes almost seem to glint with a malicious glee.

"I've already died and been sent to Hell - and not even death itself could hold me back for long." he continues. "I said I am everyone's problem. That means everyone. The Saiyans, Tuffles, the Earthlings, you Namekians - and once I've annihilated every inhabited world in this galaxy, I'll move on to kill the Kais and Shinjin."

Lottus grins like a true mad man.

"So, my position is that I won't be helping your little King. One day, I'll be killing them too." he laughs. "And I'll be stopped, now and then. I'll die, and the universe will know some peace for a time - until I break through the barriers and begin the slaughter all over again. It'll be a fun cycle to fulfill my place as a Destroyer."

Lottus leans forward.

"So, now that you know, what will you do?"

Gandigan let Lottus ramble on without interruption, intent on hearing everything the Saiyan had to say. Once his little speech was over it was abundantly clear that any sort of alliance between the two was no longer possible. Considering Lottus's reputation that wasn't too much of a surprise, but Gandigan had held out hope for a while. "I have to say our King is very disappointed to hear you say that, Lottus. I think that after considering it all I don't have much of a choice but to kill you."

Gandigan threw off his white coat, revealing his gi underneath. It was in near pristine condition; a sign of just how little fighting the Namekian had been in recently. "Though I must admit that I find myself excited right now. Ever since I found a way to ascend there's been a lack of those who are able to push me to my limits. As much as I've searched Namek there aren't any warriors like you wandering about."

Gandigan pushed his legs apart, and brought his arms down to his side. "I haven't even thought of a name for this power of mine. No other Namekian can claim it as their own, which leaves that responsibility down to me. If you're a Super Saiyan then I guess you can call me a... Super Namekian." Gandigan's black aura raged over him as his power shot up rapidly. With his most recent training he was intent on reaching a level he had never touched before.

As his power rose above a million he could feel the Earth shake beneath his feet, and small bits of debris hovered around him. "Witness the power that will bring Namek to it's knees!" Once reaching his maximum Gandigan charged at Lottus, bringing up his right arm and protracting his claws. Once within range he brought his arm back behind his head before throwing it out aimed at tearing into Lottus's face. He followed that up by twisting his body around, attempting to slam Lottus with the opposite elbow.

Lottus straightens his back as Gandigan began to respond, smirking at the Namekian. Oh, this one has bravado. Rather than power up as well, Lottus simply stands defiantly as Gandigan tosses away his cloak, and begins to empower himself! The ground quakes beneath Lottus' feet, making the Saiyan excited for the fight to come.

"A Super Namekian, eh? Well, let's see it then!" Lottus cackles. He could sense how much greater Gandigan's power had grown, but he was unafraid. "Please, do your best to make me kneel before you! Feh!"

And so the Namekian did - he came at Lottus with a furious attack! Lottus protects his face with his right arm, feeling the claws rake across his arm and splashing blood into the dusty ground beneath their feet. The second blow came undefended against, sending Lottus reeling and spinning twice away from Gandigan. Lottus hit the ground, and groans.

But soon, an amused cackling would split the air. Lottus stands up, patting dirt off his clothes.

"So, that's the power of a Super Namekian." Lottus says. He turns to Gandigan, his battle fervor clear in his eyes. "Not bad - you're almost as powerful as I was when I first became a Super Saiyan. Almost."

Lottus clenches his hands into fists, and brings them to hip height, spreading his feet slightly apart.

"So, Super Namekian - allow me to show you the power of the first Super Saiyan in a thousand years!!" he bellows pridefully. Lottus' aura explodes around him, taking on a shining golden glow - and the ground around his feet shatters like a field of glass! Stones and small boulders levitate off the ground, and just as with Gandigan, his growing power causes the very ground to quake!

Cackling madly as his aura intensifies like a tower of flames shooting for the sky, Lottus' red eyes turn a cerulean blue, and his hair, like his aura, shined with a golden glow. Lottus then bellows like a great beast, and raises his right arm - crimson and black energy bubbles forth like an evil water, and form into a blade of ki! But rather than launch at Gandigan, Lottus swings his arm! Thousands of crimson and black blades sheer through the air towards Gandigan!

Lottus takes full damage from Gandigan's attack! (54%)

Lottus transforms into Super Saiyan, and retaliates with Medium Attack Technique || Divine Killer
Having encountered the might of beings such as Sankishin Kamae, Tsuya, Taori, and Ward, each possessing incredible defensive skills, Lottus has developed a harsh counter - an alteration of the Ki Blade, Lottus forms a blade of energy around his palm, and hurls dozens of needle-like Ki towards the enemy, which then pursue the target! The needles stick fast into the target, and explode!!
Power: 40%
Cost: 4KP
Variant: Piercing - Your technique halves the power of all Defensive Techniques that do not have the Evasive Variant.
Homing - Your technique completely ignores Defensive Techniques of the same or lower tier that have the Evasive Variant. When used against a higher tier Evasive Variant, Homing attacks instead gain 20% to their power.

Divine Killer will potentially deal 938,880 damage to Gandigan!

Gandigan's claws found their mark easier than he had expected, cutting deep into the face of Lottus before the Saiyan was knocked away courtesy of his elbow. Was this really all the Super Saiyans had to offer? No... there was much more to come. Lottus cackled before pushing his power even further; if Gandigan's transformation had shaken the ground then Lottus's was causing an Earthquake. He should have struck him right there, but the aura explosion forced Gandigan to take a step back and marvel at the sight. "This power... it can't be!"

Great golden locks now befell Lottus, who was not content to let Gandigan strike first again. Raising his hand, the Saiyan's arm became engulfed with red-black ki, which soon formed into a blade. Gandigan thought he knew this technique, but he was caught off guard when Lottus turned that blade into a storm that was heading his way.

Controlled by instinct, the Namekian leapt into the air, attempting to maneuver away from the storm. Lottus's power had now surpassed his own by a significant degree, and he knew how to put it all to good use. The storm refused to subside on it's own, chasing Gandigan up into the skies of Plant, even through the clouds. Smaller cuts split open on his arms and legs as the Namekian was threatening to be consumed, and Gandigan quickly realized this was not a foe he could out run.

So instead he turned and stood his ground. Facing the blades head on Gandigan unleashed his own storm, firing down upon Lottus and his fury a barrage of ki strikes. The energy erupted from each hand like a gattling gun, first struggling against the Saiyan's own attack before finally winning out, but he didn't stop there. Gandigan continued his assault, firing down hundreds of smaller ki blasts which aimed to devour Lottus where he stood. "There'll be no kneeling today; you die here and now!"

In a rather uncaring fashion, Lottus watches as his energy blades take chase after Gandigan high up into the sky, passing the clouds. Smirking, Lottus takes out a saiba-skin canteen, and downs the contents. He drains it in full, and caps it, setting it back into his hip pouch.

Lottus consumes 1 Bottled Water! +2MP!

Impressively, Gandigan chooses to oppose Lottus' attack, and fire a torrential storm of ki blasts of his own. The thousands of blasts meet, creating a broad blanket of fire and smoke across the sky! Lottus enjoys the spectacular display, and grins wider as many more blasts come bursting through the clouds of smoke and rain down upon him!

Lottus raises his arms and crosses them over his head, standing firm. The blasts crash into him and around him, turning the stony landscape into an inferno as they explode, sending superheated debris flying in all directions! Plumes of smoke, ash, and dust fill the air surrounding Lottus, who then exerts his aura, blowing the choking gases away. He looks up at Gandigan, and swipes dirt off his face and shoulders. A trickle of blood runs down from his forehead, but it was superficial. The claw marks on his right arm weep fresh blood, and Lottus seems only happy with the current state of things.

"This one is going to be fun to play with." Lottus remarks to himself. The ground around his feet cracks as Lottus suddenly rockets towards the sky, stopping only once he'd reached the same altitude as Gandigan. "Was that all you have for me? I'm disappointed - I thought I was supposed to die? Maybe this Super Namekian thing you have going on isn't all that super after all."

Lottus sneers.

"Well, that's enough warming up, I think. Now, I hear you Namekians can regenerate? Let's see if there's any truth to that." Lottus chuckles darkly. "I'll start by pulling off your arms and legs - I'll save pulling off your head for last."

With that said, Lottus rushes towards Gandigan, engaging the Namekian with a furious melee!

Gandigan descended through the clouds, breathing deeply as he attempted to claw back some of the energy he had just burnt through. Before he reached the ground Lottus took into the air, stopping once the two were face to face. Compared to himself, the Saiyan looked like he had barely broken a sweat despite all the power he had just output, but at least he was carrying a few more bruises than he was before. "The battle's only just began, Lottus. I'm your greatest challenge."

Something about this whole situation was... off. Why had he rushed in so foolishly? Some ability of Lottus perhaps; it had clouded his judgement and dug him into a hole he wasn't sure if he could get out of. But he had to. For his sake, and for the sake of Namek. His body was going to be buried next to Porunga; not left to rot in the wastes of Plant.

Gandigan caught a fist to the jaw as Lottus came in, throwing him back but not taking him out. The two engaged in the air, each throwing strikes just as good as they got... initially. Slowly but surely the Namekian found himself falling behind, letting in a lot more strikes than he was giving back. This sort of slugfest was the kind of battle that favored the brute Lottus, and so Gandigan pulled back and disengaged. "Everything can grow back as long as our head remains intact, so thanks for that courtesy." He tried to flash a grin, but on the inside he was beat up.

He needed to play this smarter, but he had no experience with Lottus other than the two attacks he had seen; that was hardly enough to build a game plan out of. What did Gandigan know about Lottus? He was arrogant and extremely confident in his abilities which meant he might underestimate his foes. He was cruel and would likely target areas already wounded by prior attacks. But what else?... He respected nothing but strength, and was disgusted by those who were weak or even those with strength but who choose to hide it. He was also direct and without tact: he had a problem with the Tuffles, so he attacked it head on without care for what the other Saiyans thought.

Could he take advantage of that at all? It wasn't too much to go on, but at least it was a start. A head on fight was what Lottus wanted, so Gandigan decided not to give him one. Rather than pull back in and engage as he wanted, Gandigan choose to take potshots from the outside. Anytime Lottus tried to move in Gandigan would back off, and anytime he remained stationary the Namekian would dart in, throw a strike and dart back out. He'd double up by throwing out a few weak ki blasts to pile on; nothing strong enough to hurt, just to try and frustrate him.

The initial melee between the two went about as expected - but soon, the gap in their power and speed became more and more prevalent. Lottus was beginning to overwhelm the Namekian - a situation that Lottus had almost always found himself on the other side of this kind of exchange in the past. Gandigan broke off, and the melee became a chase.

Which was fine - Lottus loved a good chase! The Namekian kept slipping away from direct combat, occasionally even attempting to stave Lottus off with weak energy shots. But Lottus was a hunter, and the thrill of the hunt often included being patient, and striking at opportunities when presented. There was indeed an opportunity here. He could take it. It would succeed. But no, there was a need to be patient.

"Come now! How will I test your word if you keep running away like an injured animal?" Lottus barks, laughing at Gandigan's attempts to put distance between them. He never stayed still - always moving and always towards his goal, as he did with all things. Always forward until his quarry was in his hands. "You can't be my greatest challenge if you won't at least fight!"

Lottus continues to cackle as he engages and chases Gandigan, occasionally intercepting the Namekian's light blasts with some of his own.

Lottus gives chase!

Gandigan knew his tactics were temporary at best; he had no chance of beating Lottus as he was. The Saiyan seemed capable of controlling himself better than Gandigan had given him credit for, which left Gandigan scratching his head on what to do next. He was enjoying the hunt for too much for the Namekian's liking, causing him to stop in his tracks and face Lottus down once more. If he was going to put this foe down he was going to have to hit him hard.

"I wasn't running; just giving myself a chance to try and figure you out. You're more patient than I thought a Saiyan capable of. I've never fought anyone like you before." Against his better judgement, Gandigan knew he had to enter the fray again. Continuing to just move around as he was would eventually lead to Lottus taking the initiative. He just needed a little more time to put something together. A little more time and he would have the energy he needed to hit Lottus with something big.

At the very least he might be able to slow the pace down a bit to something he can better keep up with. Gandigan rushed in again, leading in with an elbow aimed at the temple. Rather than darting out this time he attempted to follow up by gliding over the Saiyan and wrap his arms around the neck of Lottus, in an effort to choke him. At the same time he dropped his own flight, forcing him to carry all of his weight. Gandigan didn't have much experience with wrestling but it should help him conserve more energy than what he was doing before.

"You never should have threatened Namek, Lottus. All you had to do was keep your mouth shut."
