Yogu hadn't been doing a whole lot in Central City. He was on that journey to Chime's Lookout, but he wanted to at least do something while he happened to be in Central city. "Hmm... Maybe I should go see Carro! The last time I saw that guy was when he was on Vegeta. That short saiyan's a really good therapist! Hmm... Nah, he's probably busy with all of that president business. I don't wanna be a bother to the guy." But what else was there to do in the city? It was just a bunch of political buildings, tech companies, and monuments it seemed. "Oh hey... Maybe I should go on like a sightseeing tour or something! Yeah!"
And that's exactly what Yogu did! He didn't pay for the tour or anything but decided to fly just within earshot of a tour that was going on. They went everywhere around the city! They went to the Crop Co. Headquarters, King Castle, and a bunch of other cool statues of some historical figures. The tour guide was probably explaining the history of everything, but Yogu wasn't really paying attention. They eventually got to a really new looking monument. Yogu again wasn't really paying a whole lot of attention. But he did hear the name Banzo and Koban, which both sounded vaguely familiar. He must've heard the name in history books or something. "Alright, those guys are just some dumb dude from history right? It'd be pretty funny if I pretended to be the guy! Give some people a good scare."
Yogu floated down to the little stone marker and phased into it, disappearing from view. A second later, Yogu tried to do his deepest voice. "BooooOOOO! It's meeeEEE! Koba- No wait... BanzOOOO! I've come back from the DEEEEAD! I'm going to wreak havoOOOOOC! BOOOO! GIMME YOUR SOULLLLS!" Yogu even stuck his spectral arms out of the stone marker to try to get a scare. Almost immediately he heard a bunch of screaming! He was pretty sure he even heard people running away! And even more, coming over! He was attracting a crowd! "I'm gonna fire a KI BLAST! I'll turn you to AAAASH! BOOOOOO!" He started wiggling his arms around and even put a little bit of ki into them. "Am I goin' too far with this prank? Nahhhh, this is just some old historical dude that probably died like, a couple hundred years ago!" Yogu kept pretending to be the ghost of Banzo, and he kept attracting a crowd.

Zhida's PL: 5,000 Karon's PL: 40,000 (not present...yet)
The ogre duo had finally made their way to Earth's capital, Central City. Lots of people passed through here, so if someone had seen their quarry, it was likely they'd talked about it in this city, and word was still floating around. That was what Karon had said, at least. Almost as soon as they'd gotten here, they split up. Karon claimed they could talk to more people that way, and get more information faster, but Zhida thought he was just using it as an excuse to go get a drink. Oh well. Even if her boss was kind of lazy, she would make up for it! So Zhida got her notebook and went around the city, talking to everyone she could.
Unfortunately, the random passerby of Central City didn't like being accosted by a red girl with horns. Most of them brushed her off and kept on walking, and the ones that did bother to talk to her hadn't seen any sort of 'ghost Saiyan' around. Several of them seemed to think she was part of a TV show. Eventually Zhida sat down on a park bench and sighed. This was harder than she thought it would be.
Suddenly, shouts and screams echoed out from nearby. People started rushing away from whatever was causing the trouble, and Zhida leaped to her feet. It seemed unlikely that their target would just show up, right when they were asking around for him, but this was definitely something. She rushed 'upstream' through the crowd, until she made it to the park proper. Sure enough, there was a ghost there, one that made the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. Even though she could only see its arms poking out of the memorial statue, she knew it couldn't be the Super Saiyan. From what Karon had told her, he was a pretty serious man, and this ghost was waving its arms around inside a statue and saying 'boo.' Proper ghosts didn't say 'boo', everyone knew that.
But a ghost was a ghost, and it was her duty to battle any she came across. Zhida drew her twin tanto blades from the back of her belt and shouted, "I'll send you back to Hell, you ghoul!" Then leaped forward and slashed for one of the statue-ghost's arms!

Yogu's prank was going pretty good! He had attracted a fairly large crowd from what he could hear, and he had thoroughly scared the masses! " Alright... Well, I think that's enough messing around now. I gotta get goin', I'm not even halfway done with the journey!" The only problem was that he needed to think of a reason for this Banzo guy to leave. " Hmm... I got it!" Yogu cleared his throat and went back to his Banzo voice. " Well, it seems like I'm having a bit of a case of SPOOOOOKY indigestion. So I'm going to have to leave now. I'll uh... Take your MORTAL SOUUUULS some other time? Yeah, that sounds good- Eh?" Someone up in the crowd was shouting about how they were going to send him back to Hell. " Oh yeah? You and what army?" Is what Yogu was thinking to himself for that second. After all, what normal person could go and do that? But the next thing he knew, searing pain was shooting through his arm! Yogu immediately drops the act, " OW! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" What Yogu hadn't seen was that the person who said that was an Ogre. One with some blades. Blades that just so happened to cut his ghastly arm right off! The arm falls to the ground with a dull thump. Immediately after, Yogu shoots out of the statue. " WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT- Oh. Ogres." The second he appeared from the statue, most if not all of the crowd turned and ran in the other direction. " THAT REALLY HURTS YA KNOW! YOU CAN'T JUST GO CHOPPIN' OFF ARMS ALL WILLY NILLY! Man, first that Majin Demon thing and now THIS! That's two KAI DAMNED TIMES in less than a WEEK!" Yogu floats over to his ghost arm and picks it up. " Ya know, it's not very easy to reattach these things! I have to really concentrate!" After a rather crappy attempt at reattaching the arm, Yogu just gives up and drops it onto the ground. " Eh, I'll do it later I guess..." Yogu turns his attention back on the Ogre. " Oh. She's cute." Yogu really wasn't in the mood for a fight at that exact moment, and after a quick energy sensing, he had a feeling it wouldn't be much of one. " Listen ma'am, I get that there's this whole Ogre vs. Ghosts thing. But I'd much rather just sit here and talk, ya know, get to know you. Then maybe go somewhere to eat, see a movie, go sightseeing around the city or something that maybe isn't fighting to the death. That seems like a much better time for both of us, wouldn't you agree?" In Yogu's mind, this was the most genius way to get out of a fight ever devised in the history of the universe. " Oh yeah, my name's Om-Yogu by the way. Just call me Yogu though, please. Om sounds dumb."

Zhida landed behind the statue after her leaping strike and quickly whipped back around to see the ghostly arm fallen to the ground. Pride swelled within her, she'd gotten a good hit in! But she didn't allow herself to smile, she wasn't victorious yet. She stood in a fighting stance, both blades at the ready as the ghost emerged from the statue it had been possessing, whining about how much of an inconvenience it was. The ghost, other than its wispy spectral appearance, was fairly plain. He seemed to have been human previously, or something very similar to it. As the people of the crowd screamed in fear and ran away, Zhida called out to them, "Don't worry, Earthlings! I'll protect you from this fiend!", but none of them were listening to her, or acknowledged her heroic declaration at all. With a huff, she stood ready for the ghost's counter attack.
...And then no counter attack came. Instead, the ghost boy just talked to her. He'd given up on his arm, and was asking her to...go see a movie. Zhida felt all her hairs stand on end in horror. Was he...? He couldn't be serious, could he? The very idea disgusted her. He was a ghost, a dead thing walking (or floating) through the world of the living. In other words, an abomination. "Are you asking me out?!" She shouted back at him, her voice pitched up in offense, "No! You can't trick me like that, I'm here to destroy you!" Her body tensed in momentary concentration, and then her power multiplied. It still wasn't anything compared to Yogu's (not that Zhida knew that), but it was stronger than before. No aura or ki emanated from her, but the shadows across her body deepened, as if she was standing in dramatic lighting that wasn't really there. Paradoxically, the shine on her blades dimmed until it was nonexistent. With an angry "HAH!!", she charged at Yogu, striking at him repeatedly with her blades.

" Hmm... Ya know, in my head I expected her to react a lot differently." The Ogre didn't seem to take his offer of going on a date very well. She seemed quite utterly disgusted in the young ghost. What a punch to the ego! " Uh... Yeah? I mean, you ARE pretty cute. And hey, not all of us ghosts are gross little bad things. I like to think that the two of us would be a pretty cute coup-" Yogu was like a dying fish now. And now the girl thought he was trying to trick her! " Woah Woah, what? Trick you? That's a real asshole move! I'd never do that- Then again so is cutting someone's arm off but- Oh, okay. I guess this is happening now." Yogu still wasn't fazed by the Ogre's transformation. He felt mean for not taking her seriously. But wasn't it also mean to take pity on her? " A-Alright, I guess I'll just go on the defensive until I can convince this girl I don't wanna fight? Then again, it is kinda her job to destroy me whether or not I don't want to fight. Hmm... This is gonna be hard." He certainly didn't want to hurt the Ogre. " I guess I could just leave? Then again... I would like to score a date with her- OH CRAP I REALLY SHOULD'VE BEEN PAYIN' ATTENTION MORE!" The ogress was right upon him! Yogu was standing right in the path of the blades, and the next he was ten feet back. " Alright, I better just transform to be safe..." With a second of focusing, Yogu suddenly manifested a lower half! A spooky white aura shoots out around him and his energy skyrockets! " I'm gonna say it again lady, I'd really much rather talk than fight you. So come at me with all your fancy blades and stuff if ya want! I'll block and dodge my way through all of 'em if I gotta!" Yogu swerves and blocks with his single arm all the way through the swarm of blades. While this is going on, Yogu decides it'd be a perfect time to strike up a friendly conversation! " So, as I said earlier, my name's Yogu! What's yours? I feel like if I'm gonna be destroyed by an Ogre I should at least get their name, right? I mean, it'd only be fair!" Yogu throws his one currently attached arm through the blades, trying to land a light poke on Zhida's forehead. If he's successful he takes a big jump back away from the Ogre. " Alright, well I'm game to keep goin' if you are!"

This ghost sure talked a lot! It was starting to get irritating, but he'd shut up once he found himself back in line at Yemma's desk. What was he even talking about? That he thought she was cute, that not all ghosts were that bad-- wait. He thought she was cute? No one had ever told her she was cute before! The words stopped her in her tracks for a second. Zhida knew she wasn't ugly, but she spent so much time studying and training that she never had time for that sort of thing. Who needs dates when there's essays to write? But maybe--
No! He was trying to distract her with his ghastly tricks! She wouldn't let him get away with it. Zhida's lapse in attacks was only momentary, and she resumed slashing and stabbing at Yogu with even more force. But no matter how hard or fast she swung, Yogu was blocking or dodging each and every strike. Why couldn't she hit him?! It had to be some ghost thing, even Mister Karon wasn't this fast. He was still running his mouth, too! Zhida, meanwhile, was working up a sweat just trying to hit him, and couldn't even respond with an angry quip. Yogu broke through the haze of her frustration, or rather, his finger poking her forehead did. She went a little cross eyed looking at it and stumbled back in shock as the ghost boy leaped away from her. The red ogre rubbed the spot on her forehead with the back of her wrist and scowled at him. It hadn't hurt at all, but it was embarrassing!
"My name is Zhida, if you have to know." She told him, "You can tell Yemma that's who sent you back in a minute!" Her confidence is actually being able to do that was quickly waning, but she had to try! What sort of ogre would she be if she wasn't? She quickly sheathed her blades behind her and brought her hands together in some sort of strange hand sign. She did it again twice, rapidly, and then something shifted. The movement was subtle at first, but then it became obvious: her shadow sat up, then stood up, completely independent of her body. A dark silhouette with white lights where the eyes should be stood next to Zhida, who drew her blades again. "Let's see how you handle this!" She shouted as she dove in to strike again, going around Yogu's left while the shadow clone went around for his right.
Not that it super matters, but I forgot Ghost Buster. Her PL is actually 20,000/10,000
Which makes the [UT1] Shadow Clone split very nicely! Both Zhida and her Shadow have 10,000/5,000 PL

" Zhida, huh...? I like it! It's very distinct! ...I guess now that I think about it, a lotta Ogre names are distinct. Yemma, Yanwang, Karon, lotta stuff like that. Ogre names are soooo cool!" But hey, Yogu wasn't too bad of a name either. Yogu finally focused back on Zhida, who was doing some weird shit with her hands. " Heh? What does that mean in Sign Language...?" A few seconds later and Yogu comes to the stunning conclusion that it wasn't sign language. It was some cool magic stuff happening! " Aw man, can Yanwang do that?! That'd be sick for sparring matches! You GOTTA teach me how to do that! Ah, man, you are so cool! The double blades and magic stuff you're just like out of a movie!" Yogu just didn't stop talking, did he? It took him a moment to snap out of it and realize he was getting jumped by an ogress and a shadow clone. "Hmm..." Yogu blocks the shadow clones oncoming attack but takes his opponent's strike right in the ribs. It hurt a lot more than what he was expecting. Might even leave a bruise. " I bet if I take this hit really hard it'll make up for that poke on the forehead... Yeah. That'll work." The punch normally would've sent him staggering back a bit, but now he threw himself into the monument for the historical figure whose-name-I-forgot. His ghostly body was sent straight through the monument and came to a stop in the air a little bit above the monument. " Aw mannnn... You r-really got me on that one..." Yogu always thought he could've made it as an actor. The ghost boi floats back to the ground. " Awww boy, you really got me mad now! I'm gonna rough you up good for sayin' that all ghosts are bad!" Now how would Yogu go about making himself take the fight seriously without hurting her? And also maybe getting her phone number. Yogu rushed at Zhida in a zig-zag motion, disappearing from one spot and reappearing in the other. Within a couple of steps he right in front of her! Yogu leaned in and swung a punch to the chest! " Hey Zhida, what kinda food do you like? And are you the kinda person that likes to dress casual and go to a diner or like, get some fancy clothes and go to a fancy... Bistro or something?" Yogu reeled back and swung the punch, but came to an abrupt stop and slowed way, way down before impact. It lightened the hit significantly, but it'd probably still be enough for Zhida to feel the impact. Yogu stopped for a moment and thought about the directness of what he was asking. So he shouted out to Zhida, " HEY! I WAS JUST ASKING OUT OF CURIOSITY!" Yeah. Saved it.

Luckily for Yogu, Zhida was so frustrated and desperate to at least hit him that she bought his 'falling through the statue' act without even questioning it. She'd gotten him! Sure, it was only two hits out of the many she'd thrown so far, and the first had been kind of a sneak attack, but she had to think positive. If she went back to Karon and told him she'd slain her first ghost all by herself, he'd be so impressed! ...Actually, he probably wouldn't care, but she'd be proud of herself, at least! Zhida came to a stop on one side of the monument statue, and her shadow stopped on the other side, mirroring her. He'd kept rambling all through their attack, and she was starting to tune out a lot of what he was saying. He really never shut up! But one thing did stick out to her, enough to make her stop in surprise. How did he know Karon?
Before she could ask the question aloud, Yogu was zig-zagging up towards her, and her guard was down enough from her surprise that it hit her square in the chest. ...He was also just too quick for her to block much, but she told herself it was just because she was distracted. She went stumbling backwards, stopping when her back met a streetlight. Her Shadow, meanwhile, jumped back into the fray, leaping at Yogu from behind and attacking him with punches and kicks. The real Zhida stayed put for a second.
"I don't think I'm very fancy?" She found herself answering his question without thinking, "The tie is just part of Yemma's uniform, but--" Wait, what was she doing? Zhida caught herself and quickly shut up, pushing herself away from the streetlight and assuming a fighting pose again. She couldn't just talk to him, he was the enemy! She had to be clever about it, "...I'll, uh. I'll tell you what food I like if you tell me why you know Mister Karon!" There, saved it. |

" Aw, now way! You know Karon too?" Yogu kept talking as his back was getting pummeled by the shadow clone. That thing was like a really angry mosquito. " Oh, hold on a sec-" Yogu whipped around and didn't hold back as he sucker-punched that shadow clone in the face. He was pretty sure the damage didn't translate to Zhida. And if it did, boy did he mess up big time. He'd feel like garbage after doing that! Turning back to Zhida, Yogu answers her question, " So on that whole Karon thing, we meant back the first time I died. Oh yeah! This isn't the first time I- Ya know what, I can just save it for another time. Anyways, I meant Karon up in Otherworld and we've been great buds ever since! Has he not talked about me to you?" While Yogu talked to Zhida, he had remembered something! He had learned a little technique to set his Energy at different levels! He had completely forgotten about that! " Man, I'm such an idiot! I could've made it so I didn't have to act weaker to this girl! We could just fight as equals and then go on a date after!" Yogu set his Energy to be somewhat close to both Zhida and her clone. It'd be an equal fight now. " So Zhida, how do you know Karon? Do you guys talk at the water cooler at those Ogre paperwork offices? From what I've heard of those places it must suuuuck to work there-" Yogu really needed to stop droning on and on when he met cute girls. Then again, he seemed to enjoy talking a little too much even if there wasn't a cute ogress. " So what's your answer on that whole food thing? You more of like, a burgers and fries kinda person or like, a fancy Italian place? OH! Maybe you're vegan or somethin'?" Yogu turned back around and fired a few ki blasts in rapid succession at the shadow clone. At this point, he was more fighting that shadowy thing rather than Zhida herself. And he was pretty alright with that. But with the mentioning of Karon, it got Yogu thinking. Where was that guy? It felt like he hadn't seen the guy in forever! " Well, I guess I got that whole telepathy thing. Could give him a call with that." And so, Yogu reached out to one of his two Ogre friends, " Yo! Karon! It's me Yogu! How've you been buddy? If you're not in Otherworld or some other unreachable-through-psychic-means realm, lemme know!" Yogu was thinking that Karon was probably busy doing paperwork in Otherworld and wouldn't get the message. He really needed to figure out how to get that deluxe telepathy package that Oboe has. It'd be pretty convenient right about now! Now that he thought about it, he could contact Nashi and Chime right now, but he'd much rather surprise his good friends! Not like anything bad was going on and he needed to contact them as soon as possible. Nope! Not at all!

Zhida had honestly thought, up until this moment, that she had a shot of winning this fight. But then Yogu didn't even flinch from her shadow's barrage of attacks, and then turned around and punched her doppelganger in the face, casually, like swatting a bug. It vanished into a puff of darkness, and her natural shadow appeared at her feet a couple of seconds later. Zhida's red face paled to an uneasy shade of pink. Oh. That was both impressive and terrifying. If Yogu had been someone with malicious intent, the way ghosts were supposed to be, she would be in a lot of trouble right now. Lucky for her, he was mostly trying to hit on her, not just hit her.
She shook herself from her moment of fear when she realized Yogu was talking. Answering her question, in fact. He'd met Karon back in Otherworld, the first time he'd died. So he'd been slain as a ghost more than once, but probably not by Karon himself. Zhida doubted Yogu would describe his slayer as his 'great bud.' "He, uh. No, he hasn't mentioned you, sorry. I didn't know Karon had friends, honestly." Zhida frowned. Now that she thought about it, she didn't know anything about Karon's personal life at all. He didn't divulge anything, but she didn't ask, either.
Then Yogu said something about telepathy, and Zhida immediately panicked and ran over to him. "Wait what? Call Karon? Call him here? Don't do that!" The idea of Karon coming here and seeing just how in over her head she got was downright mortifying. Shed tried to bargain with him, unaware that it was already too late, "I like noodles, okay? I know it's boring, but...there! Just leave my boss out of this, okay?"
While all this had been going on, Karon had been at the bar. Not day-drinking or slacking off, as Zhida might have guessed, but information gathering. Bartenders were the best brokers of gossip, after all. Unfortunately, he hadn't been very successful, and was only walking out with two soft pretzels (the bartender made him buy something before he'd let him pester him with questions.) He was walking down the street to meet back up with Zhida when a familiar voice popped into his head. Karon wasn't a total stranger to telepathy, but it still came as a surprise and stopped him in his tracks.
"Whoa, hey Yogu! Since when can you do this? I'm not in Otherworld, nah, I'm on Earth, in uhh..." He looked around the street as he tried to recall, "Whatchamacallit. Central City. What's up, you need something?" |

Karon hadn't mentioned Yogu? If he had to be honest, he felt a little insulted. Were they really not that good of friends? Or maybe Zhida wasn't that good of friends with Karon. Yeah, that was probably it. " You didn't even know he had friends?! Ridiculous! Karon's one of the friendliest people I know! That guy has plenty of friends! Like uh... Me! And uh... OH! Yanwang too! Then there's uh... Huh. Maybe he doesn't have a lot of friends after all." Yogu's technique finally finished setting his energy. Now they'd be an actual fair fight for each other! And she'd be none the wiser! " Is this the wrong thing to do? Would she be pissed if she found out...? Hmm..." Yogu rang up Karon, and to the ghost boi's surprise, the Ogre actually responded! Yogu is so focused on talking to his buddy that whatever Zhida was saying was completely static. He did catch something about noodles, which he made a quick mental note of. " Oh! You're in Central City too?! No way! Yeah, get this, so I'm hangin' out doing absolutely nothing and a cute Ogress shows up outta nowhere- Oh yeah, I'maghostbytheway so that might have something to do with it- so we're fighting, and she brings you up! Turns out she knows you! Her name's Zhida! So I thought the three of us could all hang out and catch up! We're over by uh...- what was this guy named?- Oh! Banzo! We're over by the Banzo monument thingy. By the way, do ya know what kinda gift Zhida would like on a date? Askin' for a friend." Yogu snaps out of his telepathic daze and looks over to Zhida. " Sorry, my brain was all jumbled. Telepathy and all that. What were you sayin' about noodles? Cause, I absolutely LOVE noodles! They're not borinh at all! My Grandpa would take me to this one noodle shop down in South City- Oh my Kais we gotta go to it! I haven't been since I was like, ten! Wait... Hold on, Karon's your BOSS?! HE HAS AN EMPLOYEE?! Oh crap, I shouldn't have called him here! You're supposed to like, beat the snot out of ghosts and stuff right? I'm gonna make you look bad! Damn it... I'm screwin' this up so bad!" Wait a minute, he had that Ki Setting technique! He could just make it really low and have Zhida beat him up! " Okay! Okay, I gotta plan! Just uh... Punch me! Real hard! Right in the face!" Yogu's energy is lowered just enough so that'd it leave quite the mark. He leans forward and has his face right out, literally begging for a punch to the face.

It had been a long time since Karon had any voice in his head that wasn't his, and they had mostly been shinjin giving him urgent news or orders from Otherworld. Having a teenager chattering away in his brain was... an experience. Yogu pelted him with information and all Karon could do was stand there and pinch the bridge of his nose with his pretzel-free hand, "Slow down, kid. What's going on? You met Zhida? I know her, yeah. I got saddled with an intern, if you can believe that. ...Wait, back up, you said you were fighting? Why were you--?" His brain caught up with what Yogu was saying, the part the teen had tried to gloss over, "Did you say you're a ghost? You went and died again?! What sort of kaidamned crap do you get up to when I'm not around?!" Yogu being a ghost meant Karon had to slay him, of course, but the ogre knew he couldn't do that. Not out of any friendship or care he had for the boy, but he literally could not overpower him. He quickly fumbled around in his pockets to grab his magic sunglasses, and put them on just in time to catch a very high power level, over 500,000, shrink down to a mere 2,500. He'd bet his horn that was Yogu, it was too weird not to be. The kid was still yammering away in his head, but Karon was too preoccupied with the whole 'Yogu is a ghost' thing to think too deeply on it, "Uh, I dunno. She'd kind of a nerd, get her a book or something. Sit tight and don't kill each other, okay? I'm heading over."
Throughout the entire telepathic 'call', Zhida was trying desperately to get Yogu's attention again, mostly by stomping her foot and looking cross with him. She wouldn't resort to tugging on his sleeve, she had some dignity. By the time he turned back to her, she was visibly annoyed, "Shove it about your grandpa's noodle shop, okay? I'm not going anywhere with you, you're a ghost! You do know you're dead, don't you? A-and he's not my boss like that!" Any confidence that her anger afforded her quickly faded as an embarrassing shade of violet grew in her cheeks, "I'm his intern, he doesn't pay me or anything! I'm, uh. I'm not an official ghost hunter, okay? Not yet. But I'm close! So, um!" Zhida grew more flustered as Yogu voiced her exact concerns: that she would make a fool of herself in front of Karon. To her great surprise, he outright offered his face to be punched. Unaware of how he's altered his energy, she only blinked at him for a second. Was he serious? When he didn't move, she raised her fist...which was still holding her tanto blade. Her eyes went wide, she'd forgotten about those. Zhida quickly sheathed them at her belt, almost dropping them in her awkward haste. She couldn't just stab Yogu in the face, that was too extreme. ...Wait, what was she thinking? He was a ghost, she was supposed to kill him! Stabbing him in the face was exactly what she should do!
Before she could actually redraw her weapons, the blue and grey shape of Karon appeared from around the corner. He called over with a, "Hey! There you two are, I knew it was you." It startled Zhida so badly she shrieked, "MISTER KARON!" and slammed her fist straight into Yogu's nose with all her strength. |

Well, Zhida sure seemed mad. " I wonder why..." She even told him to shove it about that noodle shop Grandpa took him to! Yogu was upset until she explained more about Karon and her status as a ghost hunter. And now, Yogu was offering his face to be decked. He even has his eyes closed, fully trusting of Zhida. After waiting for a few seconds, Karon's voice comes out of nowhere! Yogu opens one eye and looks past Zhida for a second, " Oh hey Karon! What's u- AGHHH!" His nostrils spray ectoplasmic blood like a squished ketchup packet and he's flung backward! Yogu intentionally takes the hit as hard as possible. He skids across the ground, phases through the monument, and rolls to a stop face down! If he was made of flesh and bone, his nose would definitely be broken! Yogu jumps to his feet, and casually walks back over to the two of them. " Man Zhida, you really throw a mean punch! You're really kickin' my ass in this fight! You're too good at ghost hunting!" Yogu goes to shake Karon's hand but remembers that his own hand was still on the ground a few feet behind him. After swapping hands for the shake, he sits down on the ground cross-legged with ghastly blood still pouring from his nose. " So wassup Karon? How've things been? Looks like you got someone to do your job for you, huh? HA HA HA! ...But seriously, what brings you guys to Earth? I'm on my way to go do some shenanigans with the Dragon Balls! Hopefully get revived and stuff, you know the drill." Yogu jumps back up to his feet and walks over to his disembodied hand. Instead of picking it up, the hand crawls up Yogu's leg and props itself into place where the stump was. " Man, I didn't think that'd actually work! Being a halfcorporeal weird undead soul thing sure is neat! I wonder how I can use that in a fight... Maybe rip off and throw my own fist for extra range...? Nahhhhh. Too much work." The hand falls off again, and Yogu grumbles to himself. He'd reattach it later. He turns back to the two ogres but focuses on Zhida. " Listen, if you won't go on a date with me cause I'm a ghost or whatever, will you at least give it a shot if I'm revived? I swear, that noodle shop I was talking about is REALLY good! Either way, I wanna keep this fight going! I wanna see if that punch and missing arm was just all luck! Come on! Let's see what Yemma's employees interns got!" Yogu thought he was doing a pretty good job at making Zhida look good in this fight. " She clearly seems to care a whole lot about this ghost hunting job! And being an unpaid intern seems kinda sucky... It'd only be right to help her out! And I can't remember the last fight I've had where it didn't feel like we were blasting attacks that could level planets at each other, this is a great change of pace!"

Karon rounded the corner just in time to see Zhida deck Yogu in the face and the young man go flying across the park, phasing right through the monument. Yup, definitely a ghost. Well, shit. The blue ogre sighed as he went over to his intern and clapped a hand on her shoulder. Zhida startled so hard her feet actually left the ground for a second, she'd been transfixed watching how far Yogu had tumbled. Had she really done that with one punch? She was struggling to even land a hit on him a second ago! She looked down at her own fist, then back at Yogu, then back to her fist again. Just what was going on?
Karon, however, knew exactly what was going on. Yogu had deliberately lowered his power level to have an even fight. His thick smattering of compliments and praise made his motivation obvious: he was trying to endear himself to Zhida so she would go on a date with him. It was all pretty juvenile and embarrassing to Karon, but he wasn't the one any of this was aimed at. He gave Zhida a sideways glance to see how she was taking all this. She seemed confused, more than anything. Maybe a little flustered. Karon sighed internally. He really didn't want to have to mediate...whatever you'd call all this.
"Things have been fine for me, yeah. It's you I'm worried about," He said to Yogu, "How in hell did you die, again? This is, what, the second time in a year, year and a half? You really gotta work on your sense of self-preservation, kiddo. As for what we're doing here... we've got a special ghost-hunting mission. It's for someone very dangerous, very powerful. So, y'know, not you." He smirked, teasing a bit.
Zhida watched the shenanigans with Yogu's hand with obvious disgust, and tried to school her face into something more neutral when he addressed her again, "Uh, what? Revived? What're you...?" She looked up to Karon, confused, and the older ogre gave her a shrug and a nod as if to say Yeah, that's a thing. Zhida was still puzzled, but tried to play it cool, "I mean, yes! Revived. Of course. I can't make any promises, you're, um. Kind of weird, honestly. But maybe that's just because you're dead? And I've also never exactly, er--" Been on a date. Her red cheeks got redder as she glanced aside for a second, then quickly changed the subject by hopping into a fighting stance and drawing one shortsword, "A-anyway! I can totally beat you! YAH!" And she leapt in towards Yogu to try and deliver a quick series of stabs and slices to his ghostly body.
Karon just stepped back. He knew how strong Yogu really was, and there was no way Zhida could defeat him, not genuinely. As much as he liked the kid, he was still a ghost, and Karon had a duty to send him back home to Hell. He'd let them have their play fight for a bit, then when Yogu's guard and power were still down, he'd rush in and end it. |

Karon seemed worried about Yogu. Weird. He would've thought everyone would've gotten used to him dying by now. When it happens twice, you kind of just getting used to it. He wouldn't even be surprised if he died a third time before he grew all old and wrinkly. Death didn't really bother him. At least, that's what he told himself. "Awh, you know how it is Karon. A little demon possession here and there, you lose control, have to get stabbed through the brain by some Avocado dude. I'm all good now though!" It turns out, they were in Central City on a ghost hunting mission! That sounded about right, then Yogu got worried that he'd have to fight Karon. It'd be a bit of a dilemma for sure, if he had to power up and seriously fight Karon and Zhida, he'd hate himself. And Zhida would hate him too! But getting sent back to the Afterlife wouldn't be good either! His fears went away when Karon mentioned it wasn't him. " Ah, that's good! Had me worried for a sec, anything I can do to help catch this other ghost guy?" They could handle this other ghost after the fight though! But at the same time, the fight could wait! Zhida was thinking about whether or not to accept! Yogu waited, silently begging the Kais above for her to say yes. She called him weird, but she didn't say no to him. She also made a comment about how she hadn't been a... " Uh, it's fine, I haven't e-either- Gone on a date, I mean." Almost in tandem with Zhida, his ghostly face changes to a crimson red and he looks away nervously, scratching the back of his dead head. " But- uh- yeah. I'm definitely not weird when I'm alive! Heh heh... Well, I can't do that hand thing when I'm- Ya know what, let's just fight, HAH HAH?" Zhida draws a sword and launches an all-out assault at the ghost! Yogu does his best to dodge, but with the drop in energy, Yogu wasn't prepared to be moving so slow! He felt like he weighed thirty tons! That sword leaves a couple stabs and slashes in Yogu that sting like all hell. He would've thought that things like swords wouldn't work that well, but being a Ghost was a lot more of a bad deal than he first imagined. " Alright... Just gotta take a few hits and predict-" It was lined up perfectly! Yogu claps his two hands together, and catches the flat of the blade together, bringing the shortsword to a stop. Yogu swings his foot out, trying to knock Zhida's feet out from under her. " Man, you are good with that sword! If I hadn't gotten lucky there, I'd probably be in half right now!" If he was successful, he's holding Zhida off the ground by a couple inches. He lets go and drops her, and at the same time launches a punch to the gut with the other hand. He takes a few long strides back and looks over to Karon. " So how's everyone been? Have you kept up with Yanwang? I saw him on Mt. Frappe a few days ago but haven't seen him since." Back over near the monument, Yogu's separated hand was stirring. It was taking Yogu a lot of concentration, but it started to float off the ground and curl its fingers into a fist. In just a few more seconds he'd be able to throw out a strong attack with it! He just needed to figure out a way to get ki into it from a distance. What a predicament. But if he could do this while still fighting Zhida, he might've just came up with a super helpful technique!
