With how violent and hecked up the entire planet seemed to be getting, Terryn figured it was about time to hone his martial arts skills. Days of half-assedly lifting weights and throwing fists at a punching bag were only going to get you so far. Truth be told, the Earthling was a complete scrub at fighting, only learning the basics from Banzo. But hey, never too late to learn, right? ...And how exactly was Terryn going to learn, you ask?
Well, by putting up a public advertisement, ofcourse!
YOU THERE!
Have you ever dreamed of punching BaoTube star, and the newest Pride Trooper, Terryn Yaki, in his stupid face?!
Head to North City, and test your skills against The Strongest EarthlingTM!
Being the internet sensation that he (sometimes regrettably) was, Terryn figured that this would stir up enough of a storm to keep him busy for a while. He had only hoped some actual competent fighters would swing by...The Trooper still wasn't the best at holding back his power...
''Whooo, sheesh!'' Terryn let out excitedly as he stepped into the vast, empty park where he was supposed to be fighting. A literal crowd of his fans had gathered to see the former Skater in his new controversial get-up. Some were die-hard fans of his, and others simply came to mock the Earthling for his sudden change from Skating and Vlogging to 'Hero-Business'.
Clad in his blue-and-red Pride TrooperTM spandex, Terryn casually stepped into the middle of the crowd, who all kept their distance from the Earthling. He waved and smiled at his fans, even the ones that were openly laughing at his ridiculous costume. Bullshit, he thought, his outfit was bloody awesome! Not lame in the slightest, nope.
''ALRIGHT PEOPLE!'' Terryn shouted out in his best crowd-pleasing voice, standing proudly. It felt a bit lame, but hey, he was used to it.
''Now, I'm pret-ty sure you all know why we're here today, yeah?!'' The Earthling paused to smile at his crowd of fans, before sticking his arms into the air. ''To watch me get my damn FACE caved in!'' And the crowd roared with enthusiasm. Diehard fan or hater, both sides wanted to see how this would play out. Violence was entertaining, you couldn't deny it.
''BUT!'' The Trooper raised a single finger, waiting for the crowd to go silent again. ''Really think about this. Ya'll should know I'm not a pushover, only try to fight me if you're confident you can take me! Aaaand to show I'm not fucking around...'' Terryn spoke in a cocky tone, clenching a tight fist.
In a sudden flash of speed that most present couldn't even fathom, Terryn launched his fist toward the ground below him! A mighty quake ruptured through the area, and the ground riddled with cracks under him! The crowd went silent, and began to back away from him. Terryn once again looked at his fans, most being teenage girls. Right, most rough martial-arts dudes wouldn't be watching his videos anyway...
Eh, maybe there was someone hiding in the back...
Surely someone competent must've shown up, right?
''So, any takers?! First come first serve, peeps!'' Terryn spoke loudly, as if he was giving a performance. His face scanned the crowd that circled around him, waiting for a fighter to emerge...

A NOT-SO-SUBTLE INVITATION
| Ramen's PL: 14,000 |
Ramen couldn’t help but stop and stare when she came across the bizarre advertisement. She would have expected that kind of publicity stunt out of a local showman, which she initially assumed this ‘Terryn Yaki’ figure was. But the group he claimed to belong to gave her pause. The Pride Troopers had a reputation to their name, and if she was correct, they were the very same Troopers that had appeared on the Lookout not long ago. If this man really was a part of their group, he would probably be worth squaring off against. Heck, he was probably a good deal stronger than Ramen herself - but even if she was a step or two behind, it would be a good training exercise. Besides, it’s not like this ad was going to attract many other challengers, right..?
She might have been half right.
Parking her motorcycle a block or so away from the intended side of the open challenge, Ramen found herself wading through a crowd of adoring fans. She was expecting maybe one or two of the guy’s personal photographers, not an entire army of screaming teenage girls. If there was one thing she could do without, it was having to push for position in a giant throng of fangirls. Worse still, if she didn’t get to the front to challenge the Trooper quick enough, someone might mistake her for a fangirl. The crowd wasn’t exactly what she would have expected for a fight, by any stretch of the imagination, but maybe martial arts was the new fad amongst teens. After not so subtly pushing her way to the front, to the anger of the fans she had to brush past on her way, she reached the front -- and then she just stared, her eyes widening at the man who made the challenge.
A fan behind her slapped at her shoulder in annoyance, having just lost her prime front-row seat, but Ramen paid her no mind for now. She recognized Terryn. Not by name, no, but by face... and he certainly wasn’t a pushover. In fact, she was right to assume he was probably her better--
-- and then he slammed his fist into the ground. She jumped in surprise and let out a yelp entirely unfitting for a serious martial artist. She, like the fans she was surrounded by, didn’t see the punch until it had already sent a quake through the ground. In her case, it was probably more because she wasn’t paying attention… she was more distracted by that outfit. If she ever held an open challenge, she’d have made sure to show up in something cool.
At the invitation, Ramen hopped into the air, hovering high above the crowd to the shock of the woman that had been berating her a moment ago. She eyed Terryn for a moment longer before propelling herself over towards him, touching down just before him. She gave him a single nod. “I don’t know if you remember me, but I’ll be your opponent today,” she slid her leather vest off and tossed it off to the side to keep it safe from harm, not bothering to wait for him to accept her as his foe. “You’re tough as nails, even if your outfit looks like a stretchy cereal box. So let’s give your fans something to blog about, yeah?”

Terryn watched the crowd of onlookers with an inviting gaze. Most of them were whispering among themselves, probably gossipping among themselves about just how stupid Terryn looked in his Pride Troopers outfit.
Suddenly though, a figure quite literally emerged from the crowd, hovering above the rest. Terryn's gaze immediately moved toward her, and his eyes widened with curiosity. That girl...Had he seen her before somewhere? The Earthling stuttered a little as she touched down before him and declared herself his opponent. ''I- uh, yeahhh...You seem kiiiinda familiar...?'' Terryn really couldn't put his finger on it, simply continuing to look at her with squinty eyes, as if that was going to help him remember.
''Yeah, shit, totally forgot. R-remind me, would'ya...?'' He asked in a nervous tone, attempting to laugh it off with a chuckle. The stranger seemed eager to get this started, yet Terryn was sweating bullets! ''Pffheh, the coolest of cereal boxes!'' Terryn shot her a little finger-gun, forcing a grin.
Was Terryn scared? Well yeah, but not because he was afraid of Ramen's power. No, he was afraid of...well, Ramen! She was a girl! Terryn had never hit a girl before, could he even do that? He'd look like such an asshole! What kind of guy goes around punching women for his own (and his fans') entertainment?! ''Shit...Shitshitshit...Okay-''
''Seems we got a challenger, you guys! Give her some love, yeah!?''
The crowd hesitantly clapped and applauded for Ramen. You could tell the horde of teenage fangirls were brimming with envy. It wasn't everyday that you got the chance to get intimate with someone like Terryn.
Looking away from the crowd, Terryn swallowed his hesitance and looked at Ramen again, nodding nervously. ''Alright, I'll, uh- I'll give you...The first shot?'' The Earthling pulled his lips back in an awkward slant, feeling quite embarassed. Nearly everyone could tell that the former Skater was hesitant to toss fists at a girl. Classic Terryn.
He cautiously lowered himself into his stance as the crowd began to cheer louder and louder. Terryn smirked awkwardly.
''C'mon, gimme all you got- I swear I can take it...!''

A NOT SO SUBTLE INVITATION
| Ramen's PL: 14,000 |
Being offered the first shot took Ramen by surprise, her eyebrows raising. She wasn’t about to turn down an advantage offered so freely, but the gesture was a little confusing. She nodded across at Terryn in confirmation before falling into a loose fighting stance, her feet squared with her shoulders and her hands oriented in a wide guard. She eyed her opponent carefully, trying to get a read on his stance, his posture -- maybe his energy, in case he was up to something. But all she could really tell was that he seemed… awkward. Maybe nervous. She never really considered herself to be all that frightening, but maybe she just underestimated her own power.
Yeah, that’s it.
“I think it might have been when we were up fighting that grey bubblegum man and his friends,” she replied to his earlier question, stepping a few paces to the side to see how he oriented himself, still trying to get a better read on him. Then, she stopped abruptly. Give it everything she had? This guy must have been crazy.
She offered a single nod before clutching her firsts, preparing to power herself up. She got as far as raising her ki noticeably when she froze, abandoning the power-up entirely. There was a crowd here to watch two fighters square off in single combat. She couldn’t just power all of the way up right off the bat, invitation or not. She had to wait to show off her full power later, when it would be more dramatic. That’s how you win a fight and the hearts of your audience. She smirked to herself, assuming her previous fighting stance again. “Okay, but don’t get mad at me if this hurts!”
With that, she rushed towards her opponent, racing along the ground before kicking up into the air. She would have preferred a safer approach in any ordinary situation, but he did offer her the first blow… she might as well try to take advantage of that. At this speed, her movements were difficult for those in the crowd to track, even if Terryn would have little issue following her. As she got close to him, she launched herself forward and raised her knee, aiming to just nail him right in the gut. It was a blow that moved at blinding speed for most of those spectating: they would only recognize the outcome, whether it connected or whether it was countered.

Wait, was THAT where he recognized her from?!
''Oh shit, I knew you looked familiar!'' Terryn spoke up with a beaming smile. There was really only one person that fit the description of 'Grey Bubblegum Man', and just like that, everything clicked in Terryn's head! ''Yeah, when Mumbo and his boss-daddy went all Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain on the Lookout! Oh, and there was a monkey too, or something.'' Honestly, Terryn's memory regarding that entire day was hazy. He remembered jumping down to take the Oozaru head-on, and everything after that was blurry. But the fact that the Lookout still stood, and that he was still alive, probably meant that he had won. Probably.
Terryn's audience was beyond confused at the Pride Trooper's shoddy explanation. Honestly, some might've thought that he went genuinely insane. With all the sleep deprivation and overabundance of coffee Terryn had taken recently? He probably was going a tad insane.
At Ramen's warning, Terryn simply nodded with a friendly smirk. ''Mhm, yeah! It's fine, I swear!'' He let out. Even if it did hurt, then whatever, he was asking for it, right?
The girl darted from her position like a speeding bullet, becoming nothing but a blur to their audience. Gusts of wind screeched past, as if a fighter jet flew directly past them! Terryn held his position, eyes darting as they closely followed Ramen's movements. It wasn't hard for the Pride Trooper to keep up with her. As Ramen hurled herself fowards, Terryn clenched his muscles tightly, closing his eyes as her knee dug deep into his gut!
''Ffff!- Nnnh...Pfoo...''
Damn, okay! That stung a bit. Terryn stumbled backwards for a moment as he caught his breath, quickly shrugging off the pain he felt. Not bad, although Terryn doubted if she was really going all-out. ''You guys might want to give us a bit more space for this!'' Terryn spoke to his crowd in a loud tone. Afraid of the collateral damage the two fighters could cause, they instantly listened. The empty ring they found themselves in was now more than enough for them to start playing rough.
''Not bad, not bad...'' The Trooper nodded towards Ramen. Smirking briefly, Terryn would suddenly fade from sight, as if he had teleported away. If Ramen was able to keep up, she'd notice that Terryn was attempting to dart behind her in a quick flash of speed! Terryn swiftly reached out and attempted to grab Ramen's wrists from behind, before locking them to her back. The Trooper would attempt to cautiously work her toward the ground and keep her pinned there.
Ofcourse, Terryn only did this because he still felt uncomfortable throwing a punch at her. That, and he wanted to see if she was actually still holding back...
''This ain't all you got, right?''

Ramen touched down on the ground after landing her blow, a faint smirk appearing on her face. She figured that would be more than enough to teach the man for offering the first blow so readily, but her expression vanished when it became apparent the blow had barely winded him. She fell back into a defensive posture, hopping back a few steps with the pace of the scattering crowd, trying to make room to guard in the event that he counter-attacked. Her eyes locked on him in anticipation. She wouldn’t lose sight of him from this range, until --
-- he vanished?
Whether it was pure speed or some sort of technique, she was having trouble keeping up with his movements at this point. Her eyes darted around the battlefield, trying to catch any sign of where he might be or where he might be going. By the time she did catch a glimpse of him, a flash of vibrant cereal-box colours out of the corner of her eye, he had already rushed past her. It was too little, too late, and as she began to twist around to challenge him, he managed to grab hold on her wrists and locked them behind her back.
“Ack!” she yelled out in surprise, immediately kicking her feet and trying to resist the hold. As he began to push her towards the ground, she started scraping and pushing with her boots, throwing her torso from side to side, everything she could to resist being pinned. She was jockeying for position to keep herself upright, but this was a bad position to be in against anyone, let alone someone stronger than her.
Then, she had an idea. A terrible idea.
As Terryn began to work her towards the ground, his position and strength winning out over her desperate struggles, she tried to angle her palms upwards enough to get a clear blast. She couldn’t use any of her proper techniques at this range as they all required time to focus and somewhat specific set-ups. But basic ki blasts were no issue, as she fell down to her knees, little yellow orbs of ki sparked into her palms. She fired them upwards, blind and unable to aim behind her. Her intent was to strike him somewhere near his face to force him to recoil, but at this point she would settle for any shot she could. The intent was more to distract him and loosen his grip than to actually damage him, and if she managed it, she would try to wrestle her arms free and kick her leg back to just boot Terryn off of her.

Without a semblance of effort Terryn was able to work Ramen to the ground, a somewhat disappointed expression stuck on his face. Terryn could hold back all he wanted, but the power gap between them was starting to muddle the excitement of this little training session, both for himself and their viewers.
The Trooper hummed to himself as he kept Ramen's arms locked in place, waiting to see the moment where she would finally get serious. Except...Maybe this was all she had? Maybe Terryn had just become too strong for his own good?
He shook his head at the thought- no way! ''C'mon, you were way fiercer at the Lookout! Where'd all of that go?'' Terryn let out, refusing to believe that this was all there was. He didn't go through all of this trouble just to be disappointed!
Honestly, he started to feel bad for the girl. Seeing her squirm helplessly on the ground must've been pretty damn insulting to her ego, especially with a horde of judgemental teenagers watching. But just as Terryn was about to loosen his grip and let her go, the Trooper noticed her hands angling in a weird way...
''Uh-'' Terryn uttered, but it was already too late! A bright light flashed from Ramen's hands, a pair of concentrated Ki blasts slamming directly into the Trooper's face! ''-YAAOW!''
Terryn immediately released his grip, hands quickly moving to cover his stinging eyes! ''FFFF-!'' He was about to unleash a storm of socially unacceptable curses, but instead bit his tongue. Keep calm, Terryn, think of your...'Status'.
''Alright, alright, clever...Buuut we both know that ain't gonna work a second time.'' The Trooper spoke in a lightly annoyed tone, lowering his hands again. His eyes were slightly reddened, an eyebrow raised.
Truth be told, he was starting to get a little impatient. Seems like he had to push Ramen far enough to go all-out, and actually make this somewhat interesting. But how to do that without knocking her teeth out...?
Terryn let out a sigh as his posture relaxed. Yet suddenly, his entire body would fade in a blur! A transparent afterimage of Terryn would be left in his place as the Earthling darted toward Ramen in a zig-zag motion, kicking up the dirt with every turn!
His body would re-appear infront of the girl, carrying a violent snarl! A trembling fist was reeled back, and launched toward her with enough force to blow up an entire skyscraper! The howling noise it made was like a dozen fighter-jets zooming past your ears, a terrible gust of wind accompanying it!
...Yet Terryn's fist stopped a mere inch from her face. The Trooper's hand relaxed, and a single finger would extend to lightly tap her on the nose.
''Boop.''
Letting his arm fall to his side again, Terryn's lip pulled back into a slant. ''So, you done holding back yet? Pretty sure this ain't gonna get us anywhere.'' He said, carefully raising a brow.

Ramen rolled forward once she felt her wrists being released, scurrying her way to freedom. She took the brief window of opportunity to dart across the makeshift arena, creating space between herself and her opponent. By the time she turned about to assume a defensive posture, he had already recovered. It was the chance she needed, but she was still very much on the defensive. As he rushed forward, all she could pick up on was the afterimage he left behind. Though she could pick up on what he had done thanks to a faint trace of his energy, she still couldn’t track him or see him… until he appeared before her, his fist thrusting towards her face with the force to knock her halfway across the city. She started to weave back, but she wasn’t fast enough, and just as he was about to collide with her… he froze in place. She froze too, bewildered.
Boop.
She just stared blankly for a long moment after she’d been booped on the nose. There was no clever retort or retaliation. For a long moment, she continued staring, caught between being vaguely impressed and being just plain embarrassed. The giggling of his teenage audience didn’t help. She huffed and pushed herself backwards, landing in a smooth flip a good distance away from him. She was out of room to retreat backwards, but she intended to launch a counter-attack. She clenched her fists, focusing her energy. At first, the effect was subtle, like a rising tide. But then it burst to life, her energy sparking outwards with a palpable aura, like her body wasn’t quite up to the task of containing the power being released.
She gave him the faintest nod from across the battlefield, her fighting strength now much nearer to his own. She kicked off on one foot, an audible crack as she left an indent in the ground. She rushed forward at top-speed, zigging once and zagging twice as she approached. He wouldn’t have near the trouble tracking her that she did him, but she hoped she could catch him all the same. She closed in on him, landing right before him in close proximity.
He asked for my best shot. Time to give it to him.
She thrust her elbow upwards, using the full weight of her body along with her momentum to spring up with it. She left her feet with the blow, putting everything she had behind it. She was aiming to strike him on the chin, intent on knocking him sky-high from his position. She wasn’t holding back like before, but she aimed to make sure the blow landed far enough in that his neck wouldn’t snap back too awkwardly, without being so far in as to actually hit his neck. She wanted a little revenge and a good fight... not permanent damage.Ramen powers up, using her Intense Struggle x2. 14,000 > 28,000. She retaliates, aiming an elbow to the chin.

''Riiight, there you go...''
A faint smirked formed on the Trooper's face as Ramen's expression grew more serious. The air started to distort around her due to the energy she began to exert. Light strokes of Ki began to lick her frame, crackling intensely and visible toward everyone! The crowd surrounding them began to rabble amongst themselves, wide-eyed and waiting with bated breath to see what Ramen was truly capable of!
''Knew you were holding back! Ha!'' Terryn's smirk grew as he fell into a loose stance. Finally, they could actually begin! Unable to actually sense the power Ramen was putting out, the Trooper was still far from taking things seriously, figuring she only got a slight boost. Oh how wrong he was...
He had an actual fight on his hands now!
''Woah damn!-'' Terryn let out in surprise as Ramen darted toward him, with speed equal to his own! The Trooper was taken by complete surprise at her sudden increase in power, raising his guard far too late. Ramen's elbow crashed into his chin with a mighty slam, rippling the air around them as if a bomb had just detonated!
A pained yelp came from the Earthling as he tumbled into the air like a ragdoll. The sharp jolt of pain coursed through his body, dazing Terryn quite badly. He inhaled sharply, opening his eyes before re-adjusting himself midair. Unable to actually fly, Terryn could only wait until the gravity pulled him back down, but once it did...-
''Alright then!'' He shouted from above as he began to rocket downwards, only growing faster and faster. Terryn linked his fists together as he leaned backwards, his entire body seemingly catching fire! His heated Ki swirled around him viciously as Terryn hurled his entire body forwards, spinning at an extreme rate!
''DODGE!''
It was as if he had turned into a spinning top, only much deadlier! The flames soared like an inferno as Terryn fell downwards like a nuke, crashing both fists into the dirt with reckless abandon! Ramen had better dodged, 'cause this one was going to hurt big time!

| Ramen's PL: 28,000 (Base 14,000 - x2 Modifier)
Though it would have been worth it to take a look across at the Pride Trooper’s assembled teenage audience just to catch a glimpse of the looks on their faces, Ramen knew she had to keep her attention squarely on his opponent. Even as he tumbled upwards in the air, he was a dangerous opponent, and his counter-attack would come sooner rather than later. She was content to wait for it, keeping herself guarded rather than following up on her attack right away. He knew what he was doing, and he’d probably catch her if she got reckless.
Then, he lit on fire. “--The heck are you..!” she sputtered out, eyes widening.
As he raced back towards the ground, his heated ki swirling around him, Ramen was given the distinct impression of a comet streaking to Earth. And getting hit by a comet probably sucks. She didn’t need to be told twice to dodge, launching herself off towards one end of the makeshift arena, her movements bolstered by ki. In her wake she left a false image, standing completely still, with no form of resistance. As Terryn crashed into the ground, it vanished from sight, allowing him to continue to spike the rest of the way uninhibited. It was just an Afterimage.
Ramen dug her heels into the ground to bring herself to a stop, twisting around and pushing off without a moment’s hesitation. Whether he was still alight with fiery ki or not, she had to get her hits in where she could. She darted forward several steps before kicking off the ground into ki-granted flight, her speed picking up as she flew near to the ground. There were yells of surprise and anger from the crowd. They might have lost track of her part of the way across the field, but her low-level flight send another powerful gust across the area, sending spectator’s hats flying away and their cellphones crashing to the ground.
"My turn!"
She might not know how to light herself up with fire as Terryn did, but she at least knew how to deliver one heck of a headbutt. She braced herself and tucked her chin as she drew in close. In the last moment before her intended collision, she had to sacrifice her vision in favour of hitting head-first and not just awkwardly flying face-first. She couldn’t quite aim herself or adjust in those last moments, so she trusted her momentum to bring her through with the hope of landing her blow against his chest, his back, or anywhere else she could get a flush hit.

Like a falling asteroid Terryn crashed straight into the ground below, causing a mighty shockwave to rupture through the area! A crater formed where the Trooper had impacted, dozens of large cracks breaking the outer ring of the impact site. The crowd surrounding them stumbled in a panic, some falling flat on their butts due to the sheer force at display!
''Yeuuh-ohhf...-'' Terryn mumbled something incomprehensible in a dazed tone, climbing to his feet. Stumbling backwards, it was as if Terryn had one too many drinks- his entire head was spinning! Perhaps spinning around at the damn speed of sound wasn't the best of ideas...
His ditzy eyes tried to refocus on Ramen, trying his hardest not to fall on his bum as he followed the girl's movements. Well hey, atleast she managed to dodge- so that was good, right?
She announced her next move enthusiastically, to which Terryn's eyes widened! ''W-wait! T-timeout, timeoUT!'' Terryn eeped, still way too disoriented to think or act properly. Sadly for him, Ramen seemingly had no mercy, charging at him with reckless abandon!
Expecting a powerful kick or punch, Terryn desperately raised his guard high, not wanting his totally perfect jawline to get messed up. But the Trooper had made a wildly wrong prediction, through his hazy sights and the sheer speed Ramen was traveling at! The girl's entire head slammed directly into Terryn's gut, knocking all of the wind out of him! The Trooper let out a breathless wheeze, like a deflating balloon, eyes bulging widely.
Doing his best to ignore the pain and keep going, Terryn grit his teeth as he dug both of his feet deep into the ground. The two powers struggled momentarily as they began to slow down, getting scarily close to the teenager-infested sidelines.
Once they had skid to a full stop, Terryn saw a perfect chance to counterattack! The Earthling leaned forwards, wrapping his arms around Ramen's waist before attempting to lift her upside-down! ''Ya like wrestling?!'' Without any hesitation, Terryn hopped into the air and tucked his legs inwards, aiming to piledrive Ramen into the ground!
''Piledriverrrr!!''
Much to his own surprise, Terryn was starting to enjoy this quite a bit. Ramen proved to be quite rough for a girl, and honestly? Terryn quite fancied that. Nothing more romantic for a first date than beating the snot out of eachother infront of a crowd of thirsty fangirls, right?

As the Pride Trooper advanced to launch his counter-attack, Ramen swung her first forward in the hopes of striking him. But before she could hope to connect, he got in close and grabbed her around the waist. She adjusted her footing, preparing herself to jockey for position again, only to be swung upside down in a turn of events she couldn’t possibly have seen coming. Too stunned to react, she found herself driven downwards and spiked on the top of her head, the heavy landing causing a puncture through the ground. She let out a yelp in pain as her vision became blurred with broken gravel and dirt. Her head pounding and her ears ringing, she pressed her hands as hard into the ground as she good and shoved herself up, inadvertently launching herself high into the air. She was dazed and confused, but tried to orient herself right way up. If she had been on two feet, she probably would have collapsed over onto her back.
“Heckin’--really--” she cussed to herself, dropping back to the ground gingerly and holding a hand up to her head. “What even was that!”
Her footing was visibly unsteady, a clear result of having been hit with such a clean blow to the head. But it wasn’t anything she couldn’t recover from… it would just take time. There was no sudden dash forward to mount a counter-attack, nor any clever tactic. She knew she needed to press some sort of attack while she still had the chance, but she couldn’t risk melee while she was still having so much trouble moving. Time to give the audience a show. Besides, it wouldn’t do to just collapse under pressure in front of a member of such an esteem organization.
“Normally I wouldn’t use this so early, but that slam was one mean hit,” she called across, extending her hands to either side. Red energy crackled through her finger-tips, flaring into identical red orbs. They brimmed with energy, casting a red glow over the audience that elicited a few ‘oohs’. She might not be able to walk straight, but hopefully she could shoot straight… she would have to angle it upwards so as not to hit the ground, and probably aim straight forward so as not to risk hitting any buildings. What she would give for this fight to be in the middle of open wastes. The time she took charging and angling the attack gave Terryn time to react, or even counterattack in the midst of her charge. But she hoped he would want to challenge the attack head-on for the sake of his audience.
Hopefully she was a good judge of character.
She glanced over the crowd, murmuring something. “You’re supposed to call out the names of your attacks, right..? Okay, here goes--”
She brought her hands together before her, the two orbs merging into a larger mass of energy suspended before her palms. As the energy crackled, she yelled out. “Okay! Time for me to give you a taste of what I can do, with my Crushing Tide Attack!” she stepped forward once, thrusting her hands out and sending the blast towards Terryn, the orbs erupting into a powerful wave of red.
Nailed it. Tomorrow everyone is going to remember that cool move name.
Ramen is dazed, but she opts to counter-attack from range. [UP2] Crushing Tide incoming for 18,480 PL damage!

Okay, MAYBE that was a bit too much.
With Ramen's entire head damn-near buried into the gravel, Terryn released his grip and hopped back. The Earthling's breathing started to intensify, light beads of sweat forming on his forehead. While a terrifyingly strong person, his stamina wasn't anywhere near up to snuff. Terryn watched the girl dig her head out and jump backwards, before laughing nervously. ''S-Sorry! Kinda...Kinda got ahead of myself there, didn't I? Ahaha!''
Nervously scratching the back of his neck for his moment, a lighthearted smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. ''So, not a fan of wrestling, I assume?'' The Trooper spoke casually, before falling back into his combat stance.
An eyebrow raised itself as Ramen spread apart her hands. Violent energy began to crackle along the girl's hands. This...Could only mean bad things. Especially considering Terryn had little to no idea as to how to actually project his energy. ''I- uh...'' The Trooper silenced himself before he could say anything. He couldn't afford to look like he was nervous, right? He was a damn Pride Trooper!
'Grow some balls already dude...' His voice echoed through his mind, before he sighed out.
''Alright, come on then! Show me what you got!'' Terryn shouted out in his best 'superhero' voice. It only made him sound like a massive geek, but it was the thought that counted, right? Besides, Terryn couldn't really dodge this attack...Seeing as he had a crowd of people behind him. Safety first!
As Ramen announced her attack name in an equally-geeky sounding voice, Terryn laughed out! ''FOOL! Your 'Crushing Tide' cannot hope to match my awesome SCORCH STRIKE!'' The Pride Trooper shouted out as he got into a low stance. A blazing aura of fire erupted around Terryn's right leg as the dazzling beam rocketed toward him. 'Fearlessly' Terryn launched himself forwards with his knee outstretched, crashing into the Crushing Tide head-on! ''HIYAAA!''
The concentrated aura around Terryn was enough to hold off the initial burst of power as he continued to travel deeper and deeper into the beam of Energy. It's red, destructive power launched off of the Trooper in a flurry of dazzling colours, dissapating into thin air. Yet slowly but surely, Ramen's energy began to overpower Terryn's!
''Wait, wait! SHIT- AAA!''
Only able to weakly raise his arms to cover his face, Terryn was bathed in the crimson light. The concentrated energy tore at his skin and clothing, and damn did it sting! A pained roar erupted from within the beam as Terryn lit up his aura once more, causing the final remnants of the attack to be whisked away into nothingness.
''Haah...Haah! Fuck...-'' Terryn panted as the flames surrounding him died down. It seemed he had totally underestimated the girl! ''DAMN that stung! I'll give you that one...Good shit.'' The Trooper nodded, acknowledging Ramen's power. Seemed he couldn't afford to toy with her as much as he had hoped.
''Suppose I'll take this a bit more serious now...''
Terryn's voice was intentionally cocky, a shit-eating smirk forming on his face. The Trooper sinked back into his combat stance, although this one was a lot sharper. Now the real fight began!
''On your go, cutie.'' If Terryn's smarm wasn't enough to piss Ramen off... The stupid wink he gave her just now ought to have done trick.

In any normal scenario, spending that much energy would have been a foolhardy way to try to recover. But although Ramen’s hands were still shaking from her own blast, her vision had finally started to clear up after being hit with that pile-driver. The brief moment had afforded her enough time to get her head back in the game, figuratively and literally, and now she would be able to engage her opponent up close again. She was relieved to see she'd actually managed to land such a good hit, but it still hadn't had quite the impact it had on previous opponents. This would not be easy. But as he fell back into his fighting stance across from her, she noticed the change. He looked… a little more on the ball this time, even forgetting the cocky attitude. She fell into her own to match him, keeping it rather loose and relaxed.
His first comment irritated her, but it was nothing she wouldn’t have said herself if the situations were reversed. But then, he opened his mouth again… and Ramen just gawked at him.
“You little punk!” she cried across the field. Her energy suddenly swelled as she darted forward, the comment clearly getting under her skin a little. There was no clever maneuver or trick this time -- she just rushed to get in close, directing a flurry of punches and kicks towards the Pride Trooper. The blows were swift and strong, coming in from every angle in a wild assault. Half of them might miss the mark and the other half might be blocked, but she was intent on getting back at him from that comment… and, well. Sometimes you’ve just got to go for quantity over quality. Especially when you’re pissed.
“I’M--” she continued her flurry by trying to throw a wild jab from the left.
“NOT--” she followed up her jab, whether it landed or not, with a similarly wild hook from the right.
“YOUR--” she retracted both hands and extended them above her head, folding them together and coiling up, preparing to attack...
“CUTIE!” she finished her sentence by by swinging the double-axe-handle downwards, another wild blow that had a little too much power and far too little accuracy. She was trying to just spike him into the ground with a heavy swing, but at this point, she might well just collide with the ground and cause a minor earthquake in the area.
Sometimes getting angry works for martial artists, right..?
Captain Terryn Ramen launches a furious attack! KP 4/7 (none used).
Feel free to interrupt or retaliate at any point in the post! She's trying to just rain blows on him, but he can totally stop her! |

And Ramen completely fell for it just like that, exactly as he had hoped! It wasn't complicated to anger rough chicks like her, all you really had to do was act like an arrogant asshole and call them cute. Terryn had been in the game longer than today, and while he was usually very bad at talking to girls, he knew exactly how they worked. Atleast, that's what he thinks. He's probably very, very wrong.
Terryn chuckled smugly at her reaction, gesturing for her to come at him in the most condescending way possible. The girl charged at him as fast as she could, swinging her arms around like a gorilla gone berserk. The Trooper was forced to focus intently, instinctively bobbing and weaving through the furious assault. Fists whizzed past him like bullets, blows matched and parried with equal force.
He began sweating as Ramen's assault went into overdrive. Just barely able to smack the left jab away with his forearm, Terryn was far too late to block the right hook. The Trooper could only raise his arm in defense before the blow crashed into him! Ramen raised both her arms high into the air, a wild and slow move- and that was the moment he needed.
''Gotcha!''
Terryn ignored all the pain and exhaustion he felt in that moment, stepping forward in a swift motion right as the axehandle came down on him. The powerful fists came crashing down like a steamroller- strong, but slow! Everything seemed to go into slow motion as the attack whizzed past him, a cocky grin forming on his face. A fist clenched at his side whilst his other arm moved to place itself on Ramen's back. Without hesitation, Terryn launched his arm forward, aiming to plant his fist directly into the girl's gut!
If the blow landed, Terryn would keep it buried there for a moment, slowly moving to whisper into her ear. ''Y'know, I like you better when you're mad. Wanna go out for shakes sometime, sweetie?'' He whispered carelessly, trying to hide his own disgust. It felt wrong on way too many levels, but Terryn was still not completely sure about Ramen's fighting spirit. She was tough, REAL tough...But the forces aiming to take their home from them? They were so much tougher...
He just hoped she wouldn't hold it against him when this was done. Surely she'd get it, right?
