Recently, Suri had gone to a highschool science fair, being asked to babysit her friend's little sister while she did teacher-things. The Orange Star Science fair(wink wink nudge nudge, thread name) had many projects that impressed the young adult, but one person was clearest in Suri's memory.
A prodigy of an engineer named Pepper had also been there, sitting in her diminutive booth in the back of the gym, and yet she had brought the most impressive piece of tech there. URSA, was the name of the android, with the appearance of a cute, small bear cub, and yet according to her creator, she packed enough power to rival that of powerful ki-fighters. There was only one other mechanical beast Suri knew of that could do that. One who was kind(and big) enough to give Suri and her friends a ride after the fight in Frappe had concluded. LEO, who, together with Carro, was able to kill Kalabas, a spiritual Saiyan that gave Super Saiyans a run for their money! So, naturally, when Pepper asked Suri to help test URSA's new power, Suri was more than happy to help. She was excited to see it, and was also hoping she would gain from the experience as well.
They happened to both live in the East, so Suri thought of a spot somewhat close by. The Spinach Wastes were full of farms and even more full of empty grassland, so there was a lot of space to do things without bothering people. Perfect for training, too, Suri remembered. The Majin had once trained here a while ago with another Android! ...well, Bio-Android, so she supposed they were quite different. She hadn't seen him in forever, wondered how Plague was doing...
Well! In any case, Suri sat there, in a field of grass with no signs of people. She sat on a couch made of ice, sipping on refrigerated Hetap as she waited for Pepper and Ursa to arrive.

TURING TEST: TURBO™
Pepper's PL: 12 | Ursa's PL: 50,000 | Items: Arm Blaster
Pepper still wasn't quite used to the feeling of gripping onto URSA's custom bored handles for her dear life, riding atop the bounding Plexbot as it sped across the forest floor, dodging every bush and tree with relative ease. She had to trust URSA with the navigation, as it was the bear bot that packed the ability to sense someone else's energy, not her. The reason they were out this far in the wilderness was simple: a field test of sorts for URSA's new form. Pepper had been lucky enough to have randomly kept a certain Majin's contact information and had called in to ask if they wanted to help run a few tests on URSA's most recent upgrade. It might be a bit of a shock to Suri, seeing what once was a diminutive teddy bear suddenly having sprouted into what seemed to be a...well, regular-sized bear. Coming to a sudden halt, Pepper almost came flying off her mount's back, hands gripping the handles tucked beneath the bot's plates hard enough to turn her knuckles white.
They had exited the forest a few moments before and were now situated in a wide, open and grassy field. Ursa snorted, crouching ever so slightly to allow Pepper a chance to clamber off. "Hello again." The Plexbot spoke, directed at the Majin currently chilling out on an ice couch. This time, the android's words were actually understandable, with vocal implements just one of the many things added to the bear's arsenal. Legs still shaking a bit from the wild ride she'd just been on, Pepper was able to offer Suri a wave and a small smile. "I hope you haven't been waiting for too long. I had to make sure Ursa was fully charged, tune her weapons, the whole shoot and match." Rumbling, Ursa laid down for the moment, head resting between her paws. "I'll let you two exchange formalities before we begin." |

Suri immediately noticed Pepper and URSA's arrival when the two of them sped out from the forest and stepped foot in the field Suri was waiting in. Suri turned her head toward them and greeted them with a wave, and a "Oh, hi, Pepper! Hello, Ursa!" before she turned her head back to finish her Heta-
Wait, URSA?! Suri did a double-take after realizing that URSA had spoken, then, the fact that she had gotten much bigger than before! No longer cub-sized, it was like Ursa had become a fully-grown bear! URSA certainly looked like she would be stronger like this. "U-Uh, Ursa, you can talk now! And you...grew? So, these are the upgrades you gave her, Pepper?" Suri questioned as she got up, placing her drink on the icy seat as she walked toward the two.
To Pepper's apology, Suri responded with "No worries! I'm excited to get to see all the new things you gave Ursa, in action." Suri pondered about URSA. Aside from her artificial ki generator, was she also carrying missiles or machine guns inside her steel shell?
Suri might have noticed Pepper's ruffled hair after looking from a closer distance. If it was noticeable to Suri, she would say, "Y-Your hair looks like it's a mess, though..."
Suri definitely noticed how Pepper and URSA arrived in a hurry, though. So, with a worried look, Suri said, "Are you okay? You didn't need to come here that fast... Do you need a breather?" Suri made another can of Hetap materialize in her hand, with the exact same flavor as the one she had been having. "Would you like a drink?" Then, a comb and a mirror in the other, she asked, "Want me to, uh, fix your hair, or would you like to do it yourself?" Or maybe, Pepper didn't need that at all? In any case, the testing would begin whenever Pepper was ready.
"How have you been, by the way?" Suri asked, mostly to Pepper, as URSA seemed like she was taking a little break from running through the forest. Perhaps Pepper would need one, too, so she didn't de-materialize the ice couch just yet.

"Am big." Was all Ursa had to say on the topic, mouth opening to let out a "yawn" as the bear bot continued to laze about on the grass. Pepper gave her companion a playful pat on the back before wandering a bit closer to Suri, a bit wary of the cold energy the Majin was releasing. "So you just built like... an ice couch? Is it made of magic or actual frozen water?" The latter would be unlikely given that they were situated in the middle of a sunny open field. "H-huh? This?" Combing her own hand through the messy locks, Pepper sighed. "Yeah, that's an aftereffect of traveling at sound-barrier breaking speeds without being in a pressurized environment. The worst bedhead known to humankind!" Try as she might, petty hands had no chance at taming the wild mane that had become Pepper's hair. "Huh? Oh, I'm fine, I was just riding along and, uhm, am stilling getting used to the feeling of going that fast."
Gesturing to Ursa, she continued: "This gal did most of the work. And androids don't necessarily get... tired, really? I guess it's just a mimic of normal bear behavior, but like Ursa said she's ready to spring into action at a moment's notice." Pausing, Pepper realized Suri had been pulling stuff out of seemingly nowhere. "Wait a minute where are you getting all this stuff?" She asked, expression incredulous. "Oh no, is it more magic? Gah, I suck at magic." Making a grabbing motion to ask for the brush Suri had conjured, the girl set to work in fixing her mess of a head. "I've been alright, I guess. A bit tired and whatnot from all the crazy stuff going on in the world, but that isn't unique to me." A smile accompanied the words in an attempt to appease any doubts that may have arisen. "Anyway, we're good to go if you are, right Ursa?" The Plexbot stood, head tilting a bit. "Mhm. Just give the signal and I'll smack her up! ...For testing purposes." Nodding, Pepper plopped down in the warm grass, gesturing for the two to go a bit farther away. "Nothing too excessive or anything, like fighting in the stratosphere, if you can help it. This is just a basic stress test of Ursa's ground capabilities after all!" Standing on her hind legs, the android now easily dwarfed Suri. "Ready when you are, candy person."

URSA got a chuckle out of Suri, before the Majin's attention was shifted back to...oh, the ice couch. "Eheh... This thing? I just used magic to make a cool chair to sit on real quick. I-Is it weird? I've been hanging out with a cryomancer, so..." Suri sheepishly smiled, scratching her head.
Then Suri's eyes widened, her worried expression returning with gusto as Pepper told her how fast she had travelled. "U-Uh, you sure you're okay, travelling that fast? No cockpit or energy barrier?" Suri was sure URSA was okay, being an android with that kind of power. And she was right, according to Pepper, URSA didn't even break a sweat! But Pepper, A ki-less Earthling, withstanding that level of speed? ...Well, so far, she looked as right as rain, hopefully she'd stay that way the future.
Suri handed over the comb and mirror, and nodded, confirming that "Yep, it's magic. And yeah, I figured, since you're more of a science kind of gal." She said as she grabbed her previous unfinished drink, and emptied it first. The one she had offered Pepper would be put on the ground instead, maybe for later. The ice sofa was useless, so Suri made it melt into a puddle.
Then, came the last of the small talk. Crazy stuff... Suri remembered Aurora's words, when she said that things could get worse. The world as Suri knew it almost ending was a recent memory, and yet it wasn't over. More dangers could come to Earth. She'd keep these thoughts from Pepper, not wanting to rid of her smile. "Crazy stuff... Yeah, I know what you mean." Suri said as she returned with a grin of her own.
And thus, it was time to begin. Suri chuckled at the enthusiasm shown from URSA, a bit nervously at the thought of being smacked around by a big, robotic bear. Pepper told her not to go too far, and Suri nodded, agreeing. "R-Right, of course. This is just a friendly spar, and all." And those, Suri could do just fine without being held back by fear.
Ki flashed up around Suri as she flew off, away from Pepper but still within her eyesight. Now, both URSA and Suri were ready to rumble. "Alright, then. Here I come!" Suri said as she raised her fists. Vanilla-white erupted from her body as she brought out her aura, and charged toward URSA with the gusto of a thousand fighter jets. One attack to test the waters. Aimed at the bear's chest was a flying roundhouse kick set to stagger. If she got the chance to, Suri would try to spin around for another attempt at a kick.
