Area B: Day Two

[Android-18]

OOC: Continuing fight between Piccolo and Myself.

Android 18 closed her eyes for a moment. Darkness enfolded her and her mind became as empty as the darkness. The wind swept field became a distant memory; the jade warrior was nothing but a distant impediment. She stood as a blade of grass, lightly swaying with the wind. Nothing could uproot her from the earth; she was an unwavering thing with no chance of breaking down. Carefully she opened her mind to thoughts, letting each one trickle inward and become apparent. Was she beginning to change? Was she beginning to enjoy the pain of others? The numbing questions started to clutter and nag at the back of her mentality. She was something new, something different. Each step she took led her down a path of choice, and the darkness consumed like a hungry beast. This next step could only continue the growth within her soul. The seed of hate was slowly festering and building deep in its new home. Soon it would blossom into such a deadly thing. She would become a beautiful yet noxious flower; her influence would wreak such deadly catastrophe.

Carefully she opened her eyes to the world. Nothing but dull sky and green-yellow grass met her cold gaze. She had not been waiting long in this pasture of sorts, the warrior she had challenged stood ready and waiting already. He spoke no words, only his questioning stare seemed to bore into her eyes. Nonchalantly the android waved one delicate hand to insure him that she was well aware of him, and that the weight of their fight meant not a thing to her. Another breeze swept past them and her golden hair fluttered majestically about her shoulders. It took a split second for the Namekian warrior to understand the gravity of his acceptance, after watching her beautiful hair glitter in the monotonous sunlight he realized she was simply taking advantage of his curiosity. A pain seeped its way through his stomach toward his groin and upper chest. It spread like a plague that alerted his mind and made him cry out in agony. Her leg came in as if in slow motion, but he saw it coming in toward his doubled over body and the pain was like fire. Her slender foot smashed straight into his jowl and he felt the ground leaving his feet. The air rushed at him like a waterfall, he felt the ground hit him as if he were now nothing but a smear in the grass. What had happened? His mind raced like a horse, she was fighting too fast.

She was a deadly disease. Her movements came in fast and sent thrilling pain into his body. She had totally taken him off guard and now he paid the price. She moved like a graceful swan, she was a flawless machine that felt no remorse. As soon as he was up she was in at him again. His emerald fist shot forward with as much speed as he could muster. She benevolently danced to one side. Bringing up her arms she leaned with no effort and although he followed her and made an effort to hurt her it was no use. She slipped in and out of his attacks. Vigilantly she caught him by his wrist with such delicate hands and it seemed as if she would do nothing. On the contrary, it was more deadly when she was delicate. She pulled with such force that he felt a lurching feeling from deep within. The world pulled around him and he felt himself flying forward. The ground rushed forward to meet up with his face. The impact was awful, but he could not give up. The android was now a few feet away and standing like a statue. He wiped some blood from his bottom lip, how could he match such prowess? She stood without moving, she waited for him to try harder. This was no better than her pervious fight.

He finally congregated his courage and came at her with new vigor. She raised her arms with little effort. Each strike she murmured subtly, not that he understood. She let him beat at her, he worked to try and get past her defenses but she was very vigilant of his movements. When he tried to punch at her stomach she had her arm moved to block, when she went for her face her other arm rose to deflect him. She was cunning, was there nothing he could do? The android beauty smirked when he hesitated, ?I think I?ll actually fight now.? Her icy voice came. His fist shot in again hoping to catch her off guard but she knocked it away with her arm. She had kept her power just slightly above his, but now it slowly rose. He did not know what to expect, she was such a mystery. She had only been playing with him, he had been caught surprised. Now she would hurt him. Her fists came in steadily. His arms shot up to block but even they began to numb from the constant beating. She kept up a steady rhythm of moves so that he caught up with it. Soon he knew what she was doing, but did he really? She quickly changed her attacks and he found himself stumbling to catch up. Her left fist came in sharp, while her right fist came in from below. He worked to block, but he did not expect her next move. She jumped up into the air and kicked him right in the chest. The blow sent him backwards and exclaiming. She landed and rushed in to continue her barrage. The fists connected hard to his body, the jade skinned fighter struggled to slip away from her assault. Finally he did and kept a good distance. He dabbed at a new slip lip and felt a pang in his chest. Android 18 smiled at him sweetly and waited for the next round.
