Vegeta: Champ 3, Spar Styling, +5 All Stats [SE], Combat rune ||| Hasley: champion lv 2, combat rune
Earth was generally a rather dull and boring place, with hardly any fun to be had aside from the occassional moments of torturous delight and wanton slaughter. Aside from those it was probably mainly the relaxing beaches and bars that at the very least allowed Halsey to stretch her legs and enjoy her time. However, without so much as a good exercise to be had, even those would get dull for her, so it wasn't a surprise that she'd close her eyes while holding on to a small gemstone she always kept in her pockets...allowing her mind to transcend into the astral realm, in probably the most unexpected place she'd ever find herself: a rocky, tumbleweed infested wasteland. "Well...guess this is...fine?"

The tumbleweed that danced across the emptiness between the two beings scurried along with the wind. Vegeta, who stood with his arms folded against his chest, had nothing more than the same scowl plastered on his face. "So, what now?" He asked as his foot slowly began to tap against the western sand.

Looking up from where she stood, still somewhat wondering just how bored both of them must've been to get a landscape like this, Halsey cracked a smile at the saiyan prince. "Hmm, well that explains this place...it's the little prince," The primeval laughed and shrugged upon hearing the saiyan prince's question. "Well...I wouldn't mind seeing first hand just how much you've changed after our little...spat."
Balial — 08/12/2021
"Has your power even remotely increased since our last encounter?" Vegeta asked with a slight shit of his head. "If it hasn't, I really don't see the point of exchanging blows. It would be another deice victory for me." Although they have never engaged in battle, the two had a grand difference in power. It was still unclear if Halcyon- now being referred to as Halsey, was any different than before.
Credius — 08/12/2021
The woman didn't seem to react for a moment, looking at her own hands as she clenched them into fists and relaxed them again, repeating this process a few times. "Hmm, I did improve compared to that last body, but I would say that from your own perspective it might've been a waste of time..." Letting out a sigh, she gathered all her strength and started loosening the restraints she usually put unconsciously upon herself to prevent her vessels from decaying too rapidly under the corruption of her essence...which in the astral realm shouldn't have been an issue. "Just humour me and give me a straight answer for comparison."
Balial — 08/12/2021
"Fine, I suppose." Vegeta said sliding down into a makeshift stance. In reality he wasn't putting all his effort into the stance- nor the seriousness of the fight. Although, he did find Halcyon's new form interesting and it was possible there was more than meets the eye. "I'm not going to be the first to make a move, so bring it on." He taunted as he waited for the impending attack.
Credius — 08/12/2021
"Hmm, seems you're rather reluctant these days," Halsey chuckled at the thought of Prince vegeta ending up like his dear father, sitting on a throne most of the time, dealing with the tedious work of kingship rather than being out there in space fighting for dominance and power. "I guess it doesn't do any harm to see what we can do now."
With that being said, she finally felt like she'd reached her maximum power in the vessel she was using now, looked up at the prince again and smiled, rapidly launching herself towards the saiyan while cocking back her arms. Upon reaching the saiyan prince, she made a quarter turn with her upper body before instantly stretching out her right arm in an attempt to land a hard palm strike upon Vegeta's chest. "Here we go..."
Balial — 08/12/2021
"What speed," he thought to himself as she launched forward with remarkably refined movements. Upon the initial burst of power she had managed to show great improvement, but still, it wasn't enough for the Prince to be overwhelmed.
He adjusted his stance slightly off pure instinct alone, shifting his left foot slightly forward in order to step into the attack. While Halsey extended her arm, Vegeta would approach just as quickly. Using his lead hand to redirect the attack from it's initial target to the point where it narrowly grazed his armor.
The armor cracked even upon the gentle brush of her skin and his eyes narrowed at the more impressive increase of raw strength. "Not bad," Vegeta said with a grin. "Maybe I can get a bit more serious after all." Without hesitation his rare fist flew forward, moments after the redirection of her attack. The closer it approached her gut, the more his wrist began to twist, adding both power and torque into the attack.
Credius — 08/12/2021
Not to toot her own horn, Halsey did find it rather impressive on her own accord that even if the prince had managed to dodge her initial move, there was at least a crack in his armor. Yet, this happiness quickly turned into a rather depressive thought, given she realized how happy she was with such a meager, almost pointless accomplishment. Not to mention the fact that but a moment later, she could feel the force and pressure of Vegeta's fist closing in on her gut, not even allowing her to focus her energy, all she could do was brace for the impact as best she could before she was thrown backwards into a nearby rocky spire. Clambering out of the resulting hole in said rocky spire, her hair full of dust and debris, the woman looked at Vegeta with a rather inquisitive expression. "Well...now I know why I liked saiyan women...I should visit Vegeta someday soon again, test out the men for once...what do you think?"

"I think you're making my skin crawl," Vegeta said in response as he folded his arms. Admittedly his own power was impressive, over the last few months of extreme training he could already see the benefits. More importantly he didn't have to rely on the power that Halsey had granted to him, so it was possible that in a battle he could even further exceed his limits.
"Are we going to continue this or is this good enough for you?" He asked as he continued to observe the damage from his single punch.
Credius — Yesterday at 4:04 PM
"Well either I make it crawl or I get underneath it, it's a lovely choice anyway," The woman smirked, her eyes glowing with a crimson hue as she started to shimmer, leaving behind a mirage of herself as she launched herself from the rocky spire towards the prince, spinning through the air as she attempted to throw her knee into the back of his neck, before attempting to send him into the direction she'd been sent to with a swift upside down roundhouse kick. "Darling, you really think I'd pass up the ability to figure out this new vessel's limits?"
Balial — Yesterday at 6:30 PM
The sound of the sound barrier breaking thundered through the skies as the woman launches from the crater. Debris fell from her form and scattered in a perfect circle from where she once laid.
With a violent twist she manages to out maneuver Vegeta and land a perfect knee against his nape. Pain surged through his body steaming from his spinal cord and stretching to the tips of his fingers and toes.
Before he could adjust himself he felt another crack send him roaring into the same crater he had once sent her.
Tripling in size the crater only further destroyed the stone spire, to the point where the rumble of earth filled the air as it toppled over. In a panic the Prince launched toward, his hands placed out in front of him as he launched a barrage of vicious ki blasts that would riddle the surface with holes.
Credius — Today at 7:46 AM
While she would've expected her assault to do something, she didn't expect an outcome like this, for some reason it didn't make sense that a seasoned warrior with power far beyond her own current state would be cought off guard like that.
As the prince was sent flying himself, Halsey landed on the spot where Vegeta stood moments earlier, noticing the prince's quick retaliation in the form of a relentless barrage of energy blasts sent her way. With dust and debris being shot up as she was trying to cover herself as best as she could, feeling several blasts hit her arms and legs, the woman wondered what she'd do now.
Letting out a sigh, she reached out with her arm to the direction she thought the blasts were coming from, the dust and debris forming a cloud of smoke and dust around her made it quite hard for her to pinpoint where the Prince would be, but still Halsey closed her eyes focused her senses and swung her hand through the air, allowing for a thin, fast and nearly invisible projectile of ki to cleave through the cloud that was lowering the visibility around her.
Balial — Today at 4:51 PM
The dust began to part like the Red Sea as the invisible blade divided it evenly in two horizontal sections. Due to the clear visible signs of the incoming attack Vegeta had more than enough time to react. First he took to the skies continuing to rain down bullets of ki like a storm onto the unsuspecting demon. Rather they hit or not wasn't the point- instead Vegeta just wanted to see how far he could push himself until he was utterly exhausted. With new power came new limits, just how long could the two hold out?
Credius — Today at 5:30 PM
Well, it looked like Vegeta managed to dodge that one, which was within expectations, given the whole dust cloud making it rather obvious what was coming, but at the very least, the daichiretsuhan fullfilled its purpose and even for a moment allowed Halsey to see where the hell that saiyan prince was. Only, as she finally noticed the prince, she also saw another insane volley of ki blasts raining down upon her own position again, nearly blotting out the light from the sky.
"Crap," was all that came out of her mouth upon the realization that she'd be yet again pelted by those dozens upon dozens of blasts. She wasn't going to lie, even at the full power of her current vessel, she wasn't in the same league as the prince when it came to raw power and he was pinning her down quite splendidly. "This bastard...he's got me right where he wants me..."
With no other option left, the Primeval allowed herself to tap into her vessel's power, her eyes now permeating with a blood red hue, a stylized red M appearing on her forehead, as wisps of silver appeared in his black hair. With a loud, earpiercing wail, she evaporated the incoming ki blasts, though she was certainly feeling that in her lungs, her chest heaving with every breath she took. However, with the skies cleared, she raised both of her hands, creating not one, but two black disc-shaped constructs out of her own demonic energy, launching them one after the other towards the now visible Vegeta.
Balial — Today at 8:09 PM
Holding his fingers to his head Vegeta vanished from sight, but not just in a sense of incredible speed. No, Vegeta's very essence had vanished from the realm it seemed just as the black discs carved their way through his after image. Unexpectedly Vegeta appeared just to the rear of Halsey, his right hand out in front of him and his head slightly cocked to the side.
"Its time to wake up...." Vegeta muttered before an unimaginably destructive wave of ki enveloped the entirety of the realm itself. Blinding not only himself but unquestionably her as well. Within that moment their connection was broken, the hit didn't matter- all that mattered was one thing. Vegeta had found his limit.
