After being defeated by the two demon sister’s Mazikeen and Morrigan, on Kelioux, Joseph decided to advance his training alongside Mona. The fact that Kelioux police were upon them for their arrest before they could end their lives and leave the campus grounds was more luck than anyone else, and Joseph wasn’t one who cared to leave things to chance because he never knew when his good luck would come up short. He figured the hyperbolic time chamber was perfect place to test and push the limits of his abilities. The time chamber was somewhat an anomaly regarding how the flow of time and even space was understood in this universe.
The gravity felt different than Earth; Joseph couldn’t think of how to describe it beyond that apart from heavier. There was an entrance that took the appearance of a modest-sized tiled building. There were resting quarters with beds and drawers, a kitchen, a common space with a dining table, and a pantry where the stores of food and ingredients were kept for the use of whoever was occupying the time chamber. The temperature in this space was room temperature. Beyond this housing area of the chamber near the entrance, it is more or less a white void.
Night and day were concepts that did not exist inside the chamber. The air was thinner but breathable. The temperature within the room was sporadic, tending to swap between extremes of immense coldness or intense heat. Glaciers of ice and flames were liable to emerge within the void abruptly.
Mona had been expressing interest in fighting him, and the interest was mutual. He had wanted to experience her magic, not to mention it was rare that he got to fight someone whose power was so close to his own(apart from people he faced in life or death battles). Joseph stood across from Mona doing some stretches to prepare himself for the intensity he would face in the coming moments. After finish that provision, Joseph rose his arms up and lowered his stance. “Alright, ready when you are.”
Once Mona indicated she was ready, Joseph would lounge forward, and his golden aura would encase, making him appear as a golden ball. The ball spun in place accompanied by a revving sound before shooting on at the wizard. When it looked like he’d be in reach of her, he disappeared before reappearing behind her and crashing into her back, threatening to take her to the ground and roll over her.
Joseph then steered to turn back around, rolling towards her again. Once he was in close enough, he uncurled and threw an uppercut at her stomach before breaking off into a pugilistic flurry of blows launching rapid punches at her stomach and working his way up to clip her across the jaw in the latter half of the punches. He finished the combinations by launching his back-positioned hand forward and exploding straight into her face to send her flying back. Joseph then drew his other arm across his body while closing his hand before swiping it across, launching a half dozen arrowhead-shaped bolts of ki at Mona. They would curve to track her movements and detonate upon impact.

During Mona’s time in the chamber the earthling not from earth had gotten plenty of opportunities to study the concepts of time and space. It wasn’t exactly what she’d hoped for but it did give her a chance to build upon her time manipulation abilities. It’d also made her stronger. A lot stronger, judging by how easily she slipped into and out of her transformations nowadays. Harnessing the power of her newly saiyan-ed blood was now easier than ever. So when she saw Joseph transform she just smirked and in an instant burst into a glowing form that surpassed her captain. Not only that, but she let out a scream and brought her power to its apex. “What are you doing back there?” She asked as she twirled around. She continued her spin while firmly pressing her hands against Joseph’s glowing form, sending his momentum in another direction. He came back quickly though. He let loose a flurry of blows to her stomach which connected but she tried to stop them by shoving a fist into his face and hopefully pushing him away from being able to finish his combo. “If you keep punching me you’ll make me take my sword out!” Mona said with a tsk. “That’s better,” she thought when a bunch of blasts started flying towards her. She used forearms to guard against them, noting that even in her superior state they still knocked her back despite her efforts to hold her ground. She held out her hands after the blasts stopped and fired her own albeit weaker blasts at Joseph. All she had to do was wait for an opening to present itself before going all out.

Mona's improvement showed itself immediately, as she managed to jump into super saiyan 2 in such a facile manner. Not only that, she manages to keep up with his speed and divert his rolling attack before being able to shrug his blows and return a punch of her own, making him step back and moving his head to the side to get out the way of her punch. As he reeled back, he heard Mona’s threat to pull out her sword if he kept punching her. “Go for it. I could use more practice against sword wielders anyway.” He was impressed that she was starting off so well in the fight. How it usually went in their sparring sessions in the Astral Realm, she would attack, and he’d counter and almost immediately overwhelm her with his own attack. However, it was clear in those times when neither was going all out, this led him to think that she was holding back more than he was in those bouts, either that or he underestimated her improvement during their spars. When Mona returned fire Joseph held his hand to the ground. A small wall of blue energy rose from the ground. That interposed between him and Mona’s volley of blasts. Joseph held his hands over his head and released a gilded blast into the air. It traveled with a trail following behind it and stopped when it stood over Mona, it crackled and emitted beams before raining down dozens of ki bolts at the wizard. Shortly after, the wall of energy faded. As the remaining blasts struck down at Mona, he held his hand out and released a torrent of blue fire at her. He then made a fist from his opposite hand and shot it forward, releasing a blue shot of energy. If it made contact, it would seem like it would be absorbed into her being before a concussive burst of energy would envelop her, sending a shockwave throughout her body and through the surrounding area.

Mona was stuck having to decide between dealing with blasts raining from above or fire or some kind of other blast that Joseph sent at her. There weren’t really many options with dealing with everything at once nor was it easy to deal with anything at all. If she blocked any which way she was bound to get fucked in another way. “Guess I just have to bite the bullet!” she thought while she roared and focused energy into her palms. She took the hits from all angles feeling her skin burn and her thin frame begin to break but when all was said and done she was still standing. “RAAAAA” she shouted while pointing her palms at Joseph and firing off a volley of blasts at him. Mona drew her sword and it burst into flames at a moment’s notice. You want sword techniques? Well here ya go!” she yelled. She charged at him, slashed, then again. Then she started circling around him and slashing at every which angle she could manage. She hadn’t assumed an avatar from her home world because she simply couldn’t. The time chamber had some way of blocking her so she had to make do with her own sword skills which were… subpar to say the least when it came to finesse. At least she could still hit like a truck! When Mona finally tired out from all that slashing she came to a stop several meters from Joseph. She huffed and puffed but still managed to point her fingers out at Joseph. “Have you met the ancient jellyfish by any chance?” She brought her fingers down like a knife, slashing open the fabric of space and time. A void was formed and from that void emerged a massive jellyfish the size of a truck. It only emerged enough to let its tentacles apply some kind of gross toxin to Joseph’s body before slowly regressing back into the void from whence it came.

The ki-based assault was a success, with every blast connecting. The multiple angles in which the attacks came made avoiding them a difficult option, it seemed, though Mona showed resilience in enduring the volley and remaining on her feet. Mona then retaliated with blasts of her own, sending a volley of shots at the Demi-Earthling. Joseph jumped from side to side and pivoted and bobbed to evade the explosive shots, managing to dodge almost all of them other than the last one that caught him on his shoulder. He groaned in pain as the blast exploded against it, with the blast radiating down to his arm, leaving his upper arm singed and putting him on his back.
He saw Mona pulling out her sword, rushing at him while saying he was happy to oblige him by showing her sword skills. The Demi-Earthling jumped hurried to his feet, jumping up without bothering to spend a precious moment to put his hands on the ground. He drew each of his arms across his body while projecting a white field of ki around his body. The blade met his shielded forearms forcing him to skid back on the ground.
The Wizard then started to move faster, circling him with otherworldly speed, he could only catch in glimpses, but the hot cuts of the lacerations she was cutting into him were perceived much more clearly. He grunted and curled up into a guard to protect himself behind the waning shield. The energy managed to get through the barrier made for shock absorption, and the blade made it through the protective field.
Joseph channeled his energy, knowing he could not get away from her blade while she circled him so rapidly. A blue fire began to swirl around him before erupting from sending the flames to spread in every direction to knock the blade-wielding woman back for crucial time and space. Then Mona had asked him a question that somewhat confused him. Ancient Jellyfish? That sounded like something that would be in an episode of SpongeBob. Then wizard cut a hole in the dimension itself and from it emerged the creature which she mentioned. His eyes widened in surprise.
"Cool," Joseph took a step back wary of the creature she brought to the chamber. It attacked him with its tentacles before he could scurry away and went back into the portal as quickly as it came. He started to feel languid and sickly but made himself stay standing upright. The Demi-Earthling reached behind his back to secure his cudgel and extended it until it stood taller than Mona herself before he ran forward and jumping holding the weapon above his head and bringing it down in both hands to slam it over the top of Mona’s skull. "What other monsters can you summon, can you summon a Dragon or a Manticore?" he asked.

Mona didn’t care too much for fire. She was more of a water type of girl which was why she got annoyed at Joseph’s insistence on using more fire techniques. The burns she had only worsened when she collided with his flaming body but at the very least she was able to deal a little bit of damage to him through sheer force of will. When all was said and done Mona ended up getting walloped with a stick which was unpleasant but it beat getting torn apart by blasts anyday. Had she found a weakness in Joseph’s defense? It seemed like this was going to be her one and perhaps only chance to blow her load. She remembered getting asked if she could summon anything else to which she responded, “Nope, that’s the only monstrosity I’m aware of haha.” “Now to turn things up a notch!” she said with a mischievous grin. She jumped into the air and clapped her hands hard enough to summon a glyph in front of her body. She chanted and placed her hands on the glyph and a metaphorical machine gun of energy exploded from the glyph right at Joseph. Dozens and dozens of blasts followed by a single golden beam rained down on him and when all was said and done a massive flash of light was emitted from Mona’s hands which hopefully would blind Joseph for a while.

RP Award: Winner: Joseph. Notes: The Evasion failed. Why? You closed in on your opponent and performed a continuous combination of movements and cleverly strung 2 combos into one with your wording. I like that, but you did not mention being prepared for a counter between them. Mona is faster and had the advantage of tracking your pattern and cadence. I can't see Joseph just suddenly wrenching his face back with this otherwordly intuition. He's 10. Mona is like 50. With that fail, and since Evasion is a dodge, you get a stun which will be applied to your next post. RP Notes: Mona had a strong start, which devolved as you guys rushed your posts. Joseph's posts started to suffer as well and I want to remind the two of you that this isn't a spar. This is a battle, even if it's a training one. Act like it. I am only giving Joseph the RP Award because I have to choose SOMEONE. The way Mona responded to tanking those attacks was really sub-par and a little disappointing. Try to add some more descriptions and inner dialogue that explains to me how Mona processes these thoughts. I hear (read) what the writer wants to do, but what does Mona want to do? I dunno if that made sense, but that is the common issue I get with your writing style. I am also being harsh on blocks and how you take damage. Maneuvers weren't as successful and did not take off half. It still worked but I wasn't moved by your use of it. You were better off blocking or dodging it. I wasn't feeling how you just...used maneuvers to do a partial dodge. Get creative. Carry on Guys, below are my damage numbers for you both. Mona: 63.41% Joe: 38.70%

“Maybe you’ll find more,” Joseph said. The kid couldn’t deny that Mona was currently giving him a run for his money. This had been an even harder fight for him than any of the sparring sessions, and she wasn’t bluffing about being more serious in a real battle. He would have been in an even greater fix if she assumed a form of one of her avatars. He knew the nature of the time chamber held her back from doing that, however. It was a dimension separate from the one that housed the two of them, isolated from all they knew in the universe beyond the chamber’s doors, including Mona’s home planet.
That knowledge was why Joseph decided to remain in just Super Saiyan and not ascend to the higher forms, though that might be untenable if things kept going on at this rate. Mona showed herself to be more than ready to add credibility to his concern, exclaiming she’d kick things up a notch with a sinister smile. Joseph looked up as Mona jumped into the air and summoned a glyph. He jumped back and held his weapon in both hands, wary of what was coming as he recognized the type of glyph as one she deployed when she attempted to bombard Mazikeen and Morrigan.
Joseph held his gaze towards the glyph, and the blasts that came down from them looked at them, rapt, while also focusing on the power exuded by each bolt of energy. The Demi-Earthling swung his staff rapidly to diverting each blast off course in a series of swift swings. Some of the bolts flew off into the void, where they would carry on until their energy dissipated, and others hit the ground and detonated upon impact.
After the first two dozen, there was a brief lull in the volley as energy was being built up for a larger attack. Joseph projected his aura, energy exuding from appearing like blue steam before crystallizing into the shape of a dome; he knew that concentration of power behind the blast to come would be beyond smacking them away with his cudgel. Joseph crossed his arms in front of his face and body, curling up for the heavy-duty attack to come. The blast rained down, beating against the barrier. Each shot was cracking it and scattering chips of solid spirit energy as the dome quickly wanned under the weight of her attack.
The holes in the barrier gave openings for the energy of detonating blast to get through to pound the child’s arms and body, their immense heat, and concussive force. Joseph gritted his teeth and bared the pain; the final few shots of the volley shattered the barrier, knocking him back and leaving him prone on the ground. Stunned from a violent fall, he was open to the beam that followed. The beam struck his torso and felt like a burning dill was digging into him. He grunted and writhed in pain as the beam beat down upon him with relentless friction and heat after coughed and fought his lethargy to lean up. He was suddenly assaulted with an overwhelming brightness that assaulted his eyes. “Ah!” he shut them in belated defense, his lids rapidly twitched in irritation. The boy held his staff stood up, tapping around with a cudgel to feel for his surroundings while keeping his focus on Mona’s energy to be ready for whatever she’d do to capitalize on his vulnerability.

There was a long pause after the jellyfish regressed into its portal. Mona had pretty much spent as much ki as she possibly could in a short amount of time. She yawned out of sudden onset exhaustion and fell to her hands and knees. Perhaps she was giving an opportunity to get attacked but she didn’t know how ready Joseph would be to attack after taking all that damage. “Alright, no more ki for now,” she said. She meant it too. She had to save at least a little bit for her trump card later. She was sure that Joseph had plenty of energy left himself since he hadn’t used much ki. It was going to suck if he pulled out something new and fancy that she hadn’t seen before. “I hope you’re ready for this!” she shouted. She drew her sword again picked up speed towards Joseph. She performed an overhead swing at him right at his shoulder and then engaged in an awkward shuffle where she slashed horizontally then kicked at his chest. She frowned, slashed again horizontally and tried punching his cheek. It didn’t feel right at all to weave in punches and kicks with her sword strike. She just shrugged after that and spun in a circle with her sword held out with the intent to slash Joseph in the side twice. God, she really didn’t know how to use this weapon very well.

Joseph’s vision remained heavily fuddled from Mona’s previous attack, and Mona’s form could only be made out as a vague shape to him. He saw the wizard dropped to the ground and lowered in posture, and she became static for a moment. The Demi-Earthling stepped back, wary of possible further assault to come. Since she didn’t rush him immediately after blinding him, he guessed that her assault took a great deal out of her. It reminded him of what had happened to Bersimmon late in his fight with the Paladin when the outcome came down to attrition, and he eventually ran out of ki.
He cursed his blurred vision on the inside for denying him the chance to capitalize on her exhaustion and compromised position, but at least it gave his eyes time to heal, and he was starting to see more clearly. After a moment to catch her breath, Mona drew her sword and rushed to press further attack. Joseph turned towards the general direction he could make out her swing and projected his aura. He tried to parry it with his staff, though her swing was too strong and was only slowed by the defensive effort.
The blade slammed into vestiges of the protective field he manifested earlier, giving him just enough time to pivot. The tip still grazed him, making him winch as a small laceration was slit into his shoulder. His eyes cleared to where Mona went from being a vague shape to a distorted image. He made out her swinging again for a horizontal slash. Joseph held his cudgel upward and turned to intercept the blade with the shaft of the staff. A metallic clang sounded through the chamber. When she launched a kick at him, Joseph exhaled and stepped back, dispersing the force of her kick.
He felt her sword grinding against his staff and let the feeling guide his weapon in his next defense, and he twirled the staff in his hand to knock away her sword. She followed with a quick punch that he just caught as a blurry fist in the corner of his eye. She felt the first brush against his face and with a brisk, deftly timed turn of his head, the punch slid across his cheek, devoid of the impact of a flush landing.
His eyes finally mended fully, and he could now see Mona and movements. A one-handed swing answered the next slash before he stepped in, turned his shoulder back, and snapped it forward to launch a hook with his free hand to crash across her jaw. The next swing he ducked under and his staff illuminated with yellow energy as he swung his weapon in both hands at the side of her torso. He then spun the cudgel between his hands swiped it at her feet to sweep her leg to stop the final slash, he followed with an overhanded swing to hit Mona over the head.

Joseph proved that he was much more proficient with a weapon than Mona was with her sword. Every one of her attacks had basically been blocked or turned against her in some way or another. None of the attacks Joseph landed were as bad as the ones he'd deployed before but they still hurt, especially since her chest and head bore little protection. In an ordinary fight she would’ve just tried something else but this was a training battle was it not? This was a battle where you tried out some shit and one where it was okay to give your opponent some slack here and there. So she kept the sword out and tried again. Mona spun in a tight circle and swept the blade near the floor hoping to cut into Joseph’s ankles and then quickly rolled behind him. She shouted, surging more energy into her body and then twisted her body once again to pull the sword up in an upwards slash aimed at Joseph’s right thigh. Mona put out her hand hoping to let loose a massive beam of ki at Joseph but she still felt like she didn’t have enough ki to pull off what she wanted. She shouted again, restoring her ki just a little bit more so that hopefully her plan could come to fruition. She did seem to be right fucked in the near term though.

While Mona was recovering from his earlier assault, Joseph took a moment to generate another protective field of spirit energy to dampen the impact of any further strikes she'd attempt to do with her sword; he didn't expect her to go for another volley of ki at this moment with the energy she expended a mere moment ago. Had it not been for Mona not being able to access her avatars and him wanting to exercise sportsmanship, he would have ascended to Super Saiyan 2 and moved in to overwhelm her. However, with how the pace changed in this bout, it seemed he wouldn't need to take that form.
He crouched slightly and widened his stance to brace himself for Mona’s incoming sword swing. The Demi-Earthling tensed and stood his ground as the blade came to cut his ankle; her blade struck him at the ankle, but the coat of ki saw to that it did cut into the skin under it, it would feel more like smacking the side of a metal pole. Joseph flexed and spread his arms to the side, releasing a burst of blue fire around his person to knock Mona back while swallowing her in flames.
Mona pressed on in her assault, striking again at his right thigh. Joseph stuck his hand out. Dozens of wisp of ki swirled in his palm and expanded, merging and solidifying to take the shape of aqua blue, transparent oval that bared a bubble-like texture. His opponent’s blade stuck into this shield; it burst and splashed the energy forward, threatening to envelop the wizard and knock her back. If she couldn’t evade or dissipate it, the energy would anchor her making her unable to move for a moment, and the ki would also invade her person, having a chance to clot the flow of her ki and make it take more time to perform any maneuvers she intended to perform.
Intent to capitalize on the potential opening set by his last attack, he ran forward and turned his shoulder to slam it into Mona’s torso in a tackle, trying to send her back and knock her down. Joseph shortened his staff to the length of a nightstick, dropping it into his sash as he continued to advance, becoming a blur as he rapidly stepped side to side to close in and engage her in close quarters.

Close quarters combat wasn’t going so well for Mona. Her proclaimed great opening had left her with too little ki to do anything impressive so all she could do was try to inch ahead in a bout of physical blows. She ended up falling right into the flaming trap as before with no real way of dealing with it. The fire scorched her arms once again and Joseph once again whacked her chest. Joseph tried to get closer which Mona figured was a bad idea. She didn’t need that pole going anywhere it ought to not be. “I need some space!” she said to herself while jumping wayyyy back and landing in a kneeling position. She thrust her sword into the ground while charging up her ki some more and used the sword’s regenerative abilities to heal some of her wounds. Namely her burns and her chest since that’s where she’d been hurt the most. “For a fight this has been rather mild don’t you think?” She asked Joseph. “I’m used to these being over a lot sooner than this.” She needed to make some small talk and figure out what the frig she was going to do to change the tide.

Ok first let's put it plainly here, Puar has already mentioned this, but I'll repeat it: I know both of you can do better. Again, this isn't a spar and showing some effort is really necessary here. There's hardly any mention of where you try or attempt to hit, making an estimate for damage calculation practically as pointless as trying to consider who even should get the RP reward. Considering I've read battles AND rp of the both of you...this is extremely disappointing.
RP Reward: This one goes to Joseph, not because he absolutely deserves it (you know you can do better, bro.), but simply because there is more finesse and at least a bit more detail in graphical and directional description, lending to a more cohesive post. Mona, I know you're capable of much more than this and hope you can show me that I'm not delusional on that point.
Damage: This one's a doozy, with less words, less description and detail it makes this quite hard and tiresome, but I've tried to break it down to the best of my ability. Though there weren't any really heavy hits, Mona did take considerably more 'heavy' shots than Joe, but neither has escaped this kerfuffle of small and medium techs unscathed. Joe's largest damage came from the Ultra Slash 2 and the Renzoku energy dan, which though blocked, had the former blocked at only 25% and the latter at 50%, which would still mean some significant hurting despite the blocks. Mona on the other hand didn't get any really big techniques to deal with, but did 'take' more of the DR3-4 techs that were thrown at her, thus really evening out the score there.
Statwise Mona does have the advantage of one heck of a solid toughness to absorb more punishment, but at the same time did take more hits and without any defense to talk about. Yet at the same time Mona's strength does far surpass Joseph's toughness, meaning that physical moves will be more effective in the long run when comparing both characters.
Joseph: 62% [remember that body shield and barrier are good, but when using them when they aren't in peak condition on the heaviest attacks...actually makes regular blocking better due to the flat 50% usually implied by that act]
Mona: 58,5% [you were much more on the offensive now and though most of it was mitigated by Joe's defense, this offensive stance you took has somewhat lessened the amount of attacks thrown your way save for the fact that most, if not all hits you got were from counter and defensive techniques that still deal considerable damage.] The fact that you used healing blade really saved your ass here.
Carry on.
Criticals:
seems you guys have already rolled for those yourselves. Less work for me.

Joseph felt a degree of satisfaction in how he had been able to gradually overwhelm Mona. Her openings to strike only decreased as Joseph staved off her offensive efforts and punished them with counterattacks of his own. It was rare for him to have things go this smoothly when in the defensive position. Mona showed to be wary of her position in this fight, rebuffing his attempt to close in by jumping back; How she landed on her knees further betrayed the toll that fatigue had been taking on her throughout this fight.
While she was down, the Demi-Earthling considered rushing and pummeling her or blasting her from a distance, and he decided not to do either. However, they were in this fight to help each other train, and because they enjoyed fighting, it would have been unsporting and excessive to pummel her while she was down. Joseph instead took a moment to adjust his stance, putting a foot in front and placing his legs closer together to narrow his stance while putting his arms up and reaching them out into an extended guard. The child also took a moment to catch his breath. Even with his conservative approach and defensive efforts, his energy expenditure was still catching up to him.
The kid heard her comment about this being rather mild for a fight and acknowledged it. “I guess so. We’re just doing this to train anyway. Too bad you can’t call your planet’s avatars in here. I would have gone Super Saiyan 2.” He watched as Mona channeled energy through her sword to mend her injuries. He waited until she was done healing. Joseph’s aura erupted around his body, outlining himself in a fiery blue aura.
“Alright, here I come.” Joseph leaned towards Mona and dashed towards her in a burst of speed. Once he was close enough, he shot three left jabs at her at jaw while circling around, before following behind with a straight punch from his right hand in an attempt to send her back. The Demi-Earthling looked like a golden trail of light as he ran to follow her, upon closing the distance enough he hurled a hook to explode into her stomach sending her flying farther back, then zipping forward to punch her in the stomach again.
The child then speed passed her and flipped to catch himself on his hands, before kicking up with both feet trying to send the wizard into the air. He then crouched down and leapt into the the air while arcing his arm up to deliver an uppercut under her chin, afterward he followed with a barrage of punches at her face before bringing a fist up driving it down to crash a hammerblow over her head to send her plummeting to the ground.
Joseph then rose a hand up and fired a beam of ki to speed up his descent and make it to the ground before Mona. Once he was on the ground, he generated a blue orb of ki in his hand, feeling the warmth of his energy as it expanded in his hand before taking the size of a stress ball and throwing his hand forward to intercept her descent. If it landed it would send her flying back yards before detonating and swallowing her in a blue explosion.
