Koban blinked himself awake as his pod began making an ungodly amount of noise, he had been in transit to Earth for just under a week now, a long trip due primarily to the age of his pod, age that was apparently catching up to it far faster than the hero had anticipated as several alarms were going off indicating various problems with the pod. Koban shook his head a few times to clear his mind and properly wake himself up before looking around to assess the situation.

The good news was that the life support systems were still fully functional which was great because just about everything else about the pod save for the propulsion WAS failing, apparently the ship had been hit by something during his rest and that had caused a cascade of other problems leading to his current situation… which waaas,...

Koban tapped the controls a few times trying to get some sort of feedback, he got a bit and the verdict was ‘crash imminent, all systems critical’ not the best. “Well, thats not good” Koban muttered with a great degree less urgency than his situation likely should have entailed.

He could see that through the view glass that he was just about breaking through Earth’s atmosphere and thankfully his crash site appeared to be wilderness which was essentially the bulk of the reason he was able to remain calm. Some injury to himself was certainly not GOOD but was infinitely better than his ship coming down on a city or even a small town.

With a sigh Koban waited a bit longer until he was roughly certain the pod was close enough that escaping from it would put him somewhere with a reasonable air supply, with that he then shifted himself around in the pod and slammed his foot into the hatch.

The hatch however remained in place, the impact that caused all of this having actually dented the outside in enough that it was effectively ‘locked’ Koban raised an eyebrow and with a bit more urgency kicked again, and again, and then once more as his ship steadily approached the ground.

“Ok then, maybe a bit more effort” Koban said with a sigh and for a brief moment his muscles bulked up and his power surged as he landed one last powerful kick on the hatch sending it flying off into the distance and allowing the caped fighter to launch himself out of the ship just moments before it crashed.

Koban let out a breath of relief as he released the power surge and caught himself in midair with his flight, righting himself after a moment so he could survey the damage his pod had done, while the area was entirely wilderness it would still not do to let the crash cause any undue harm and he was especially concerned on the potential for a forest fire.

Parker had been working on his repairs and repaint of the Impulse Jump, his stolen Arcosian cruiser, when a great deal of noise from above caught his attention. Looking up, he saw a space pod careen past at breakneck speed - not the sort of speed that you could attribute to a controlled descent, that much was clear. Was this someone in need, or perhaps an Arcosian assassin looking to lure him out?

There was only one way to find out.

Parker hopped on his lightboard and took off after the crashing ship, pushing his own speed as hard as he could to try and at least keep the thing in sight - he knew he had no chance of catching up to it at this point. He’d need to work on that for the future. He hoped that whoever was inside was properly strapped in and ready for the sudden stop that would come at the time of impact.

What he hadn’t expected was for the ship’s hatch to come FLYING off and soaring past him - dangerously close to hitting him, he noted - and for at the very last possible second, a man in a red cape to leap out and take to the sky, narrowly avoiding what could have been a very grisly demise indeed. Parker hesitated a moment, assessing the man and his apparent strength. He was no slouch, but he also was no Arcosian - and while that was certainly no guarantee that this WASN’T an assassin out to kill him, his gut gave him a good feeling about this guy. Good enough that he would pull up beside Koban on the lightboard, arms folded and looking at the wreckage below.

“...That’ll buff right out.”

Koban let out a sigh as he stared down at the wreckage of his pod, he was glad at least it was not the ship Ayoshi had given him, sure it was not in ideal condition right now but it could very certainly be repaired and brought back into action, this pod though… well there were bits of it just sort of all over the place now and if someone COULD repair it he would frankly be amazed.

Koban was so focused on the wreck that he managed to entirely miss the arrival of a very powerful individual right up until they were next to him and spoke up catching the Heran by surprise, Koban let out a chuckle at the mans commentary on the wreck and grinned at him “Might need a bit of work to get it back in the sky though.” Koban fired a blast down as he spotted a small fire beginning consuming all the potential fuel the fire might have had and promptly extinguishing it.

“I hope my noisy arrival did not disrupt whatever had you out here, if I had not realized anyone else was in the area” Koban was relieved to see however that the man appeared entirely unharmed which hopefully meant he had just been far off enough to hear it and not be directly affected by the crash and perhaps had just come to see what happened.

Koban also noted the man’s method of flight a board of seemingly pure energy, a rather interesting choice that made Koban curious if the man actively chose not to pursue ‘true’ flight. “I’m Koban by the way, I suppose my visit here on Earth will end up a bit longer than I had anticipated” Koban extended a hand to the stranger. He had mosly planned to make a brief stop here, check out the Tournament and probably visit Tysco but now he would have to add ‘obtain a new pod or get the ship fixed’ to that list.

Parker took Koban’s hand readily and shaked it. It looked pretty clearly like the Heran was just a visitor to Earth who hit a particularly bad stretch of luck on the atmospheric approach. He briefly felt guilty for making a joke of the situation - there was no way this space pod was getting repaired, and that meant this dude was stranded. If Parker hadn’t come around, Koban would have been in a particularly tight spot.

“No worries, I wasn’t doing anything that couldn’t be postponed. It’s not a particularly well-populated area, so you picked a pretty good spot to set her down. I’m Parker, pleased to meet you.”

Considering how concerned Koban was not only with whether he’d disturbed Parker’s day, but with preventing the spread of fire through the jungle, Parker decided that he was good people, trustworthy and probably overall very chill.

“Listen, I don’t know what your plans are but for the time being if you want to come with me back to my ship it’s not too far from here. I have plenty of room, so if you need a place to stay, even for just the night, you’re welcome to.”

With that, if Koban seemed interested, Parker would turn around and lead Koban back to his now half-painted and still-stolen Arcosian Imperial Cruiser, parked carefully in the spot where it had sort of half-crashed not so long ago.

“From what I can tell something dinged the ship on my way here while I was asleep, if I had much of a clue how ships operated beyond ‘press buttons to go to planet’ I might have been able to avoid a crash entirely” Koban said with a shrug he really WAS quite lucky on where he had landed “I’m just glad it WASN'T a populated area. I might have been able to prevent the crash but…” Koban trailed off not entirely eager to think of the potential damage his ship might have caused in such a scenario.

If he HAD been aimed at a city he was pretty sure he could have prevented things from going too sideways, he would have had far more encouragement to use his full strength from the start, then it would have just been a matter of blasting the ship out of the air and hoping it did not explode in his face while doing so.

“Are you sure? I would not want to impose but having somewhere I can get myself in order would be pretty great, I have a few friends here on Earth already but well.. My pod was also my way of contacting them” Koban said with a chuckle scratching the back of his head as he sent another blast that put out the last of the fires.

“If it’s truly no issue I’d like to take you up on the offer. With luck I won’t need to bother you for more than a day or so, Tysco should not be too difficult to find.” Koban said as the pair made their way through the forest and he caught sight of the rather large ship that was presumably Parkers. He recognized the general make of the ship, Arcosian design was familiar to him as a not insubstantial amount of Arcosians liked to prey upon the planets Koban protected.

For a moment Koban wondered if perhaps Parker might be a Arcosian mercenary but the fact the ship was very clearly in mid-painting, specifically in a manner that seemed to be trying to hide old identifying parts of the ship made Koban doubt that. “Well, that's quite a bit more impressive of a ship than mine” Koban said with a chuckle, even when his pod had been at its best it was certainly no cruiser like this.

“Ah, yeah it’s uh, it’s pre-owned. I got it for a steal,” Parker said, deflecting the fact that he had in fact stolen his ship. He had just met the guy after all.

He went and sat on a nearby stump - a tree that had been shattered by his ship in its impact, which he had since fashioned into an uncomfortable but serviceable chair. He realized he hadn’t done the same for any of the other stumps. He hadn’t been expecting company.

“I, uh, don’t have a lot of furniture, but there are plenty of rooms onboard with beds - well, cots. You can take your pick. It’s no imposition, I promise.”

He looked at the Heran, in his unusual outfit, and then looked up at the sky, tracing the trajectory of his crashed pod. He decided that the curiosity was killing him - he simply had to know.

“So what brings you to Earth anyway? Not that it really matters, but you strike me as the kind of guy who would dress a little more comfortably if he was on vacation.”

He didn’t care if Koban was a mercenary or something, and even if he were an assassin that would be no big deal - as long as he wasn’t here to kill Parker himself.

Koban raised an eyebrow at way Parker had mentioned getting the ship, he had heard THAT sort of phrasing before from thieves but ultimately Koban lacked proof that Parker had done such AND there was a fairly high chance that he had at least an acceptable reason for doing so. Most of these big cruisers belonged to various Arcosian companies and military branches that did all manner of terrible things throughout the galaxy.

Perhaps he might eventually learn how exactly Parker had come into possession of the ship and with luck it would either be that he was honest, or it would be a good story of liberating someone bad of a tool to use to harm others.

“I can’t thank you enough in that case” he had no particular preference for furnishings so the fact his room would likely just be barren other than a bed was perfectly fine, he’d slept in worse from what Koban could see while working out in the galaxy.

“I don’t actually take many vacations to really know if that’s true” Koban said with a chuckle even though it was entirely accurate, while he was quite fond of his ‘uniform’ it was not exactly the best outfit for relaxation, with a sudden realization Koban paused the thought he was about to continue on to lift up his left piece of shoulder armor to reveal a set of capsules.

He let out a short breath relieved he had remembered to move them there and not left them in the ship. “Sorry about that, I had to make sure I actually had my stuff. I was coming around to visit a friend of mine and check in on that tournament that’s going on. From what I’ve heard it's gotten pretty intense” and apparently the fighters were exceptionally tough.

Between that and the growing troubles Koban had been having he was rather eager to see about working on his dream project.

“No thanks needed, I’m not just gonna let someone in need fend for themselves in this jungle. I might be a weird jungle hermit by circumstance, but I’d like to think I’ve still got manners."
Parker couldn’t help but idly wonder what was in those capsules that Koban had so clearly been concerned about. Surely one of them contained things like toothbrush and toothpaste, but the others? Maybe a change of clothes. Parker imagined Koban probably had a closet full of uniforms identical to the one he was wearing at this very moment. He seemed like that kind of guy. Reliable.

“That tournament started out intense. I got my ass handed to me in the first round. Though I did put up a pretty good fight if you don’t mind my saying so. You should definitely check it out if you can, one fighter to watch is a woman named Leriac - she throws lightning, coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time.”

Parker smiled, genuinely enthused to be talking about his friend - he finally felt comfortable calling her a friend - and her techniques.

“Is your friend taking part in the tournament? Or just spectating?”

Koban had a good feeling about Parker, the fact he was generous enough to offer a place to rest to a complete stranger with no apparent interest in repayment was more than enough to outweigh any iffiness on the nature of how he may have acquired his ship. He let out a chuckle at Parker’s choice to call himself a ‘weird jungle hermit’.

Koban was also quite surprised when Parker launched into a description of the tournament and that HE had apparently been a contestant, it was quite surprising to hear that he had not just lost the first round and by the sound of it it had been less close of a fight than Parker might have wanted. With how strong he was it was quite surprising to hear that Parker had gotten knocked out at all.

Parkers current power was more even than Kobans top end. Perhaps though that was “all” her had? Quite a few species had ways to amplify their power and theoretically Earthlings could do the same though as far as he knew it was rare, but if Parker was perhaps already doing so and had faced perhaps a Saiyan or something it stood to reason his description of the fight could work out.

“For someone as tough as you to go down in the first round it really DOES seem like some truly impressive fighters are cropping up” Koban said with a determined glint in his eyes, he had always been quite tough and even still Kobans power often dwarfed many of his opponents when he used his full might.

But news like this got him fired up, he was not overly eager to see villainous people with such strength but if people WERE growing stronger and stronger that was an unfortunate inevitability, one that would push him to grow stronger in turn.

“Ah I don’t believe so. The two reasons weren’t really linked though I would not be surprised if he paid it a visit. I’m sure if he HAD entered he would have messaged me about it so unless he’s trying to pull a surprise I’ll be splitting my time checking out both. I’ll certainly keep an eye out for that Leriac, power like that is quite impressive. I mostly just hit things hard, sometimes blast ‘em” Koban said with a chuckle, sure it was a rather simple way of doing things but it worked!

Parker smiled at Koban’s description of his own fighting style. Another straightforward type, like himself - he found that comforting, in a way, given how many strange fighting styles he’d seen recently. Between Ise’s enormous energy attacks and Leriac’s electrifying techniques, Parker’s own focus on kicks (with a little added frost, now) had started to seem somewhat...inadequate.

“Kindred spirits, then,” he said, “I focus mainly on kicks, myself. It gets me by. I feel like too many complicated maneuvers would just leave me open in all sorts of unpredictable ways.”

He thought back to his fight with Ise, and how he had managed to find a few creative openings when she had taken on her Great Ape form. He would have to be mindful of such things when using the Impulse King.

“In any case, while you’re on Earth if you find yourself with some empty time and you want someone to show you around Papaya Island or something, I’m usually available. I’m not exactly traditionally employed so I have more free time than most, and I’m happy to share what I know of the area with a visitor. This region of Earth really is incredible, better than I would have imagined before arriving.”

Koban chuckled and grinned finding himself agreeing pretty readily with what Parker had to say about overly complicated maneuvers, the most complicated his attacks tended to be was his Justice Flash which really only got ‘complicated’ in that it required a strong focus on the target but was otherwise quite literally just pointing at them and firing a rapid series of energy blasts.

“I couldn't agree more to be honest, my style has pretty much always revolved around keeping things simple but effective to make it easier on myself to use the techniques at my disposal, only my ‘big’ attack has anything particularly complicated to it. Everything else is pretty straightforward.” Koban found himself quite curious what sort of techniques Parker used and the more they spoke about their styles the more Koban felt tempted to see if his potential new friend might be interested in a spar.

Considering the difference in power it was possible that Parker might not consider it worth his time but Koban hoped that even still he could present enough of a fight to make it worth his while “I might take you up on that, I’ve never actually visited Papaya in the times I’ve been here, mostly stuck near my friend Tysco. I was actually starting to wonder if you might be interested in a spar some time. If I hit my full strength I’m pretty sure I could give you a decent fight.” The fact Parker had been in the tournament at the very least meant he likely had SOME interest in fighting, Koban just had to hope it had been maintained past his loss.

“I try my best to keep myself on top of getting stronger but it seems I’ve not pushed myself quite as far as I could have with how strong you are.”

“We’re all products of our circumstances. But where you’re at now, you remind me of someone I mentioned earlier - the first time I ever fought the woman who beat me in the tournament, she was about as strong as you are now, at least at rest. She was able to kick it up a notch to come closer to matching me. By the time we fought in the tournament, the tables had completely turned - I had to kick it up a notch myself to even approach her strength.”

He thought back to when he’d met Leriac, and wondered if he’d actually been any help in getting her back on her feet. She’d certainly helped him find his stride in exploring his own new abilities.

Koban seemed the type that would use any strength he might gain for the positive. Parker wasn’t sure if a spar would help Koban grow stronger, but it was worth a shot...

“But what I’m saying is yeah, sure - if you think it’ll be worth your time, then I’m always open for a friendly exchange of techniques. Who knows, we might just teach each other something new.”

Koban nodded along as Parker explained how things had worked out, apparently the woman he had fought in the tournament had been someone he had faced before and apparently had been quite near Kobans power when they had fought. By the way he spoke Koban assumed the first fight was not TOO far in the past so perhaps this spar would be even better than he had expected.

It was fairly unlikely that other than being a skilled opponent Parker contributed much to the woman’s growth in power, but rather the fact he was likely a skilled fighter AND had created a sort of goal for the other fighter to surpass had helped her. Seeing Parker’s power ALONE was enough to get Koban amped up to get to training so perhaps getting kicked around by his new friend might only serve to push that drive harder.

And luckily Parker seemed willing and even offered the idea that there could be a mutual gain from the fight, Koban DID hope that he could make enough of an impact in a spar with Parker to give the other man something to work with even if it was just a bit of a workout.

“Excellent, I had sort of planned on spending my first day on Earth finding a place to store my ship before looking for Tysco… but that’s a bit of a moot point leaving me pretty much open all day if you’re interested in giving it a go now?” Koban asked with a shrug, sure it was a bit abrupt but ultimately he had little else to do, his gear was safely capsulized and tucked away.

If Parker was not interested then he would likely stick around for a while longer before perhaps giving a go at hitting up Tysco to see where he was at, how he was doing, and to get through with explaining that his visit this time would be a bit longer than his usual stays on Earth which would almost certainly include the tale of WHY that was the case.

“I uh, I got nowhere to be. You did just experience a pretty rough atmospheric entry, you sure you’re up for it? Even without our strength disparity, you don’t want to overdo it and pull something. But if you're feeling up to it, I'm down.”

Parker’s concern was clearly genuine - there was nothing condescending in his face or tone of voice. He wouldn’t have wanted to fight anyone, even a housecat, if he’d just come as close to a crash landing in a one-man pod as Koban did.

Parker was pretty sure what sort of answer Koban would give, though - he had only just met the guy, but he had a feeling Koban was the type to pursue his own development like a hound and a bone. He couldn’t help but admire the idea - there was dignity in that sort of dedication.

“I also want to sort of warn you, I’m still working on the whole ‘holding back’ thing, so if you have any tricks up your sleeve that might fortify you some, then I recommend you use them - I don’t want to do you any real, actual harm you know?”

Parker took off his bomber jacket, setting it down on a felled tree stump. If things got too spicy, he would just steer the fight further away from his ship, but he doubted it would come to that.

Koban shrugged off the concern about fact he had just nearly been involved in a crash “I’ve been through worse, if I had still been in the pod it probably would have been a different case, or if escaping had been a bit more rough I suppose” Koban said rolling his shoulders, to be entirely honest the whole thing left him feeling like he NEEDED to do something to burn off the excess energy he had built up from the whole debacle. The intensity of the situation had been a bit of an adrenaline rush.

Thankfully Parker was not so overly cautious that he felt a need to persist in trying to keep Koban from exerting himself after the crash and ultimately agreed to the spar taking place now though he did warn that his ability to hold back his strength was still somewhat limited. Koban took that to mean that it was likely best to use his full strength now rather than trying to test his luck seeing how effective Parker could be at pulling his punches.

“Alright then, give me a sec” Koban said taking a step back, he took a breath and focused his energy and in the next few moments it began to surge, Koban even appeared to become slightly bigger though much of that was just in muscle mass, unfortunately while his power was substantially higher now it was still a fair bit below Parkers.

“I appreciate the warning, with luck some time soon we can try this again without either of us needing to worry about being too far beyond each other” Koban said with a grin as he took a moment to stretch and get used to his full strength. It was actually quite rare for him to need it with his base strength generally being enough. The fact he needed to START a fight with it now was proof positive he had a lot of work to do.
