Act 1, Scene 1: Homecoming [OPEN]

Watching in awe as Kim showed off her technique, which allowed her to move to a new position leaving a puppet-like entity in her place. Rhuba turned his head left and right to try and find where Kim had ended up, noticing that the new form in front of him was clearly not her anymore. Spinning around, he heard her speak from out of view, surprising him that she had actually moved without him noticing. Was it invisibility? No, he felt like he could have told based on Parasitix's senses if that were true. "How? But not just that..." Rhuba tightened his fists as he slammed into the ground with a loud thud that shook the area, his lips curling into a large smile. "THAT WAS SO COOL!" Rhuba's feet left small indentation into the hard ground, as he stood there with his held out his clenched fists and lowered his stance as if he was charging his energy, but it was likely the only position Rhuba felt could contain his excitement.

The two of them would begin to start talking about their odd poems or plays, would cause to float above the two out of view, as Rhuba didn't quite get it. Looking down at the pair, he floated back down to the ground the moment Kim opened a portal and an eyeball floated out of the portal in a similar fashion to how Kim had fought Rhuba with two creatures pulled out in a similar way. Rhuba pulled his journal out of Parasitix's skin, and began sketching the new look Kim had taken upon creating her spider-like misty legs. In the corner of the sketch, the floating eye could also be seen as it finally approached Rhuba and circled him briefly.

"What is this thing?" He said, before it moved to Meara and watched her as well. "This IT thing you refer to sounds like a fun thing to drain." Rhuba floated toward the two, making up the distance from getting distracted earlier. "Then I could learn what you guys are talking about at least..." Rhuba frowned, still lost on whatever the hell these two were going on about. "Can I drain this thing? Is it like your... pet?" Rhuba looked over the eye as it had made Rhuba it's main focus at this point. Rhuba could feel Parasitix vibrate with anticipation, wanting to lash out and consume the floating eye.

"Does it have any special abilities? I could learn them..." Rhuba began now floating around the eye, as he spoke of learning the eyes techniques, he made a biting motion toward it. "Does it have information? I love draining information out of things! It makes me smarter!" Rhuba paused for a moment, floating in place with his hand on his chin, "I think?" he questioned himself as he slid his journal back into his skin. Rhuba snapped his fingers, a small burst of magic manifested a smaller but completely black version of the floating eye, that now orbited around the eye, staring at it blankly. The snap reminded Rhuba of earlier, the snapping technique she had showed off.

"I use a finger snap too!" Rhuba lifted his right hand in the air with his finger, signifying he had just remembered something. Lowering his right hand, he would use his right hand to point his index a few inches from Kim's head. Once he gathered enough ki into his hand, "Flash." he'd say nonchalantly as he'd snap his fingers keeping his index still and aligned with his target as the loud snap cracked with so much force a small shockwave of air would release from the snapping force, shoving away small rocks and dirt from underneath him. A bright and small beam of yellow ki shot out from his index, missing Kim's head by a few inches. "I love snapping! It allows me to precisely release the energy when I need to, I've seen others release their energy in an uneven way! So, when I snap it helps me make sure I release all the energy at the same time!" Looking back at his journal, he frowned. "Though after coming to Earth and watching their movies, I am considering a name change for the technique... Maybe 'bang' is cooler?" He said, tilting his head at Meara and Kim.

Looking over Kim one more time, he moved from his position to hers. "You'll teach me how to do stuff?" Rhuba would get as close as Kim allowed, wondering if they'd let him just drain the information out of them. "Can I drain you just enough to learn the technique?" Rhuba could feel Parasitix vibrate in anticipation even more, this making Rhuba realize it wanted this in a way Rhuba couldn't understand. "Or maybe not, I feel it might not be a good idea..." Parasitix calmed down, which Rhuba could tell was a sign of him upsetting it. "If you weren't so cool, I'd have kept fighting after Parasitix fixed your toxins in my system." Looking back at Meara, he pointed his thumb behind him toward Meara. "I would have a real hard time fighting you both... I think?" Rhuba said, but after thinking harder about it, he was unsure if this were actually true or not.

Feeling a strike at his abdomen moments before being sent away from the pillar, the mouth he had summoned retreating into his stomach. "That's it! More of that!" Rhuba began to laugh, slapping the area where she had collided with. "That stung!" He laughed again, before turning to hear the overbearing sound Kimono reverberated throughout the area. Rhuba turned to Meara who had just hit him, in the midst of Kimono's poetic words, he grinned from ear to ear. "You might wanna take her away." Rhuba began to laugh loudly, pointing toward the quiet one who hadn't talked in awhile as Parasitix encased itself around him like a suit.

"Such poetic words!" The laughing didn't subside, this time Rhuba grabbing his head and holding his stomach. "Oh man, and people said I talk too much!" Parasitix and Rhuba had realized they could at least easily deflect the effects of the mist's toxin if they didn't let it touch the flesh of Rhuba, nor inhale it. Parasitix encased the entirety of Rhuba's form, but the moment the Mist enveloped both of them in flames, Parasitix screamed in agony as it tried to maintain it's form over Rhuba. The mist burned away at it's flesh, and it began to thin itself even further to try and cover areas of Rhuba from damage.

The oxygen in the middle of the hellfire was almost nonexistent and he only realized this the moment he began to feel himself having difficulty breathing. This had the opposite effect it should have, and only elated Rhuba further as he began to uncontrollably laugh once more, almost keeling over in his pure elation. Instead of hearty laughs, what escaped his mouth was essentially gasps for air and a sound one could only describe as a gasp combined with a deep laugh. Rhuba immediately entered his Wrathful state, as it allowed Parasitix more energy to protect his body from the damage, the attack seemed to now be in full swing.

Rhuba was quite surprised at the sudden explosion of fire and heat from the mist, but even then he didn't feel like this could kill him. Even as Parasitix began to falter in protecting him, and his legs and arms began to be scorched by the mist, he felt this pain he was feeling was still within reason for him. Parasitix began to run out of skin and retreated from areas of skin that was already damaged. Rhuba himself began to walk toward the weakened Kimono, scorched were his arms and hands, as well as parts of his legs, he laughed still as he left the ripping flames. The pain was immense on his limbs, but most of the damage was sustained on areas of him that were not critical, as Parasitix knew the areas he needed to keep protected at all costs.

The moment Rhuba felt air able to re-enter his lungs, his smile still plastered on his face as if he had just went on the best amusement park ride of his life. The air stung his new wounds, and just as he stared down Kimono, he spoke, "You...? a God? Well, then call me an up and coming New God." Lifting both his hands out toward Kimono, he cocked his head and leaned it back ever so slightly, his grin slowly was consumed by Parasitix's skin covering him once more as it began to layer itself over his face, his Saiyan-like features taking on a smoke-like shadowy texture again. "Thunderclap." Rhuba clapped both hands together after energy had gathered in both, a shockwave of sound left his hands at extreme speeds, blasting away the debris from the earlier fighting from around him. The sound cracked like thunder, and a condensed ki blast emitted from said clap which now sped directly for Kimono.

Turning his head to Meara, he gave her a much deeper devilish grin and snapped his finger, staring down Meara the entire time. The second snap split the beam into two smaller beams, one still heading for Kimono, but the other now headed for the quiet one who had came with Meara, Urdr, since she had stayed out of the initial bout, he hoped that Meara would now have to choose to either help Kimono or help their companion they brought. Rhuba didn't believe in this gambit entirely working, though he reveled in the exchange, even if he felt like he might need to retreat soon.

Rhuba uses Battle Armor to block 20% (64,232 PL) of the damage from the Hutong Mist ~ First Blood 110% (275,061 PL) taking 66% damage. (210,829 PL) Rhuba then fires a Thunderclap 80% (256,928 PL) at Kimono and uses Combat Learning to add splitting allowing it to split evenly - 40% (128,464 PL) goes toward Kimono and the other 40% (128,464 PL) goes toward Urdr

Medium Offensive || Thunderclap
Rhuba gathers a large amount of ki in both hands, or parts of his body, and then either snaps his fingers, or slaps against an object or person, a blast of ki that can be aimed fires from the location of the sound of the clap/snap, even if there is no sound.
