Area C: Day One

[Raditzu]

"Alright then." Raditzu cracked his knuckles and slid into stance that was more like a sprinter preparing to run then someone getting ready to fight. "Let's get started."

And with that, he was off. Paragus balked for a moment at the vanishing form of the long-haired saiya-jin, but slid to one side in time to avoid the first attack. Raditzu, a streak of black hair, shot past Paragus with an extended fist. The cycloptic saiya-jin took his opening. His knee shot upwards into Raditzu's sternum. Caught in an awkward position, Raditzu found himself doubled over Paragus' knee, but that was soon taken care off. Immediatly after Paragus' knee hit, he grabbed ahold of Rad's shoulder, spun himso he was facing the long-haired warrior's back, and pressed both palms against his opponent's back. With a quick cry Paragus unleashed a barrage of energ at point-blank range. Rad tumbled from the sky a few feet after Paragus halted his attack, but righted himself quickly and turned around to face Paragus.

"Not bad at all, old man." Rad cracked his neck from one side to the other. "I don't understand why your friends have to babysit you all the time. Apparently they don't think you can take care of yourself... how sad."

Without waiting for any kind of response, Raditzu shot towards his opponent once more. Just before coming within striking range, the long-haired saiyan's image vanished. Paragus spun around quickly, searching for his opponent's whereabouts. His scouter beeped and buzzed, pointing above him. Paragus had only time enough to look up before Raditzu was upon him. Coming almost straight down on top of his target, Rad drove his foor straight into Paragus' face. Instinctively, the one-eyed saiya-jin turned his face to allow the already damage part of his head take the brunt of the blow. Rad disapeared almost immediatly after striking his opponent, quickly reappearing behind him. His fist slammed into Paragus' back twice before the elder twisted his body out of the way of the third strike. A ball of ki crashed against Paragus' defenses, keeping him from taking the time he wanted to collect himself.

"Burn Knuckle!" Raditzu's fist came screeching forward. Paragus brought his arms up in time to absorb most of the blow, but the power of the attack shocked him. It was like being hit with steel. He reeled backwards and prepared himself for another attack, but it didn't come. "I was wondering if that would work." Raditzu observed his own fist. As he did, something seemed to slid off of it. It seemed Paragus actually had been hit with steel. "Anyway," Rad looked from his fist to his opponent, "maybe I was wrong. Looks like you might need these guys to hold your hand for you after all." Raditzu stuck out his bottom lip and traced the path of a tear along his face with a finger. "So sad."
