Demon possession, huh? That sounded pretty horrible. Worse than Yogu was playing it off to be, anyway, but Karon let him have the lie. Having an impromptu therapy session with a teen ghost about his supernatural trauma wasn't something he was keen on doing today. ...Or any day, really. If he had to do something like that, he'd like to be prepared for it first. So Karon shrugged, and addressed the relatively less psychological topic, "Don't worry about the ghost guy too much. But... if you ever run across a dead Saiyan that likes to go on dramatic monologues about nothing, give me a call, okay?"
He was pretty sure if he had to watch these two blush and stammer at each other for another second, he was going to vomit. He silently thanked Yemma when Zhida leaped in and started up their fight again.
Though her expression stayed focused and determined, Zhida was smiling on the inside. She was pleased with how many hits she was landing on Yogu now. She was smart enough to tell he was a strong opponent, and so felt proud of her accomplishment, but she hadn't quite worked out that he was using a ki-suppressing trick. There was a part of her that felt a little bad just stabbing him like this, but... he was a ghost! She couldn't really hurt him, not like she could hurt a real person. He wasn't even that bothered by his whole hand falling off!
Thoughts of the gross hand were wiped from her mind as Yogu went and outright caught her tanto by the blade. Her eyes went wide. You don't grab a sword by the blade, that's crazy! ...And pretty in line with what she'd seen of Yogu so far, actually. She tried in vain to wrench her sword out of his grasp, and-- there! She got it! She was proud again for a half-second, before she realized Yogu had let go on purpose, and was punching her in the gut. She went flying across the memorial park and landed in a heap in a shrub.
Karon watched her go without flinching. She could take a bump or two, she'd be fine. He stood there impassively, hands in pockets, and answered Yogu's questions, "Eh, I'm the same old me. I haven't seen Yanwang too recently. Last we met was on Arcose, of all places. I should try and track him down, I hope he hasn't gotten into trouble." Across the park, the shrub Zhida has fallen into rustled. She was starting to get back up. "...Y'know, Yogu, I wouldn't call myself an expert on romance, but your technique here could use a little work."
Before he could elaborate on what that meant, Zhida returned. She rocketed back towards Yogu with a couple of leaves stuck in her hair. With her momentum behind her, she thrust an open-palm strike towards Yogu's chest. Should that hit, she'd follow up with another series of quick sword slashes, doing her best to change up the pattern from before.
Whether or not her attacks landed, Karon took this as his opening. The sound of metal on metal was the only warning of what was coming, as Karon unsheathed his sword from within his impossibly deep pockets and stepped in to interrupt their fight. He struck out at Yogu, aiming to cleave the ghost's head from his shoulders in one clean blow and send him back to Hell, where he belonged.
"Sorry, kid. Nothing personal." |

It seemed like Karon hadn't seen Yangwang in a while either. " Eh, I'm sure he's fine. Wherever he is. That weird bag thing can get him out of whatever trouble he gets in. What's up with that thing anyway? I've never thought to ask about it." While Zhida was busy getting herself out of that bush, Karon made a comment on Yogu's lack of skill in romancing. " What? You wouldn't go about asking someone out by letting 'em punch you in the face and then punching them in the gut?" Yogu wasn't even sure if that was a joke or not, and he was the one that said it. Cute ogre lady was up again, and she was looking to cut him up pretty bad. As she approaches, Yogu fires a few ki blasts that don't even come close to what appeared to be their target. The strike to the chest hits him like a truck and those blades cutting him up doesn't help with the pain. By the end, he's tanked just about every hit Zhida throws at him. " Ya know you might end up killin' m-" Even with his cold, numb ghosty feeling of touch, he could feel Karon's sword at the base of his neck. If he didn't want to get beheaded he needed to act NOW! All at once, he dropped the ki setting. His aura shot out and surrounded the three of them before disappearing along with Yogu. " Nothing personal? Really? That's the line you went with? Alright, man." Those wayward ki blasts from before had actually landed right on target. They swerved around Zhida and smashed right into Yogu's severed arm. Now that it had some ki, it could make its move! Floating up off the ground, the charged up first shot off like a bottle rocket, smashing right into Karon's back! If everything went according to plan, Karon would be sent flying! " Damn, I'm good." Yogu picks up his now limp arm, this time reattaching it properly. " Ya know, I don't think I'm gonna get used to that." Yogu turned around and started walking back over to the Banzo statue. " Well, I think it's time for me to skedaddle now. I don't know how Ogres do things but if you have to make a report or somethin' just say you protected Karon and fended off a super-strong ghost! Also, when he wakes up could ya let Karon know him and I gotta talk more often." Yogu punches the Banzo statue and a small chunk falls off and crashes to the ground. He picks it up and starts burning into it with a tiny beam of ki. When he's finished he tosses it over to Zhida, on it a weird string of numbers is burned into the metal. " Th-That's my uh... Number. Phone number. Do you have a phone? Ya know what, I'll find out I guess. I uh... Gottagoseeya!" And with that embarrassing delivery, Yogu jumped into the air and flew off with a burst of ki. " Alright... I gotta kick my ass into gear if I wanna get to the Lookout and see Chime soon." He'd hopefully have Zhida's number now and could give her a call once all this weird ghost business was over with. Thinking about that made him red in the face.
OOC: Yogu leaves the thread! Felt we should at least wrap this up before it drags on for another half of a year lol.
