As he walked, Nappa felt a growing sense of unease rise through his body. The silence around him was palpable - the location had been chosen to be one of the nearby abandoned cities of Valhalla. They had agreed on it because it was a good place to let loose without running into the risk of accidentally injuring any of the younglings training on the planet. Still, the echoing wind whistling through the streets - combined with the faint scent of decay that traveled with him no matter what part of the city he walked through - gave the Third Class Warrior the vibe that he was traipsing through the beginning of a horror movie. For the first time since he was a child, the Saiyan wondered about the people who had lived in these homes before. What were the people who had walked down these dilapidated roads like? What language did they use? Were they killed off? The only thing that could really be agreed upon by most Saiyans was that they didn’t appear to be a war-like people. From the signs of what had been left behind, the society seemed incredibly peaceful, focusing mostly on trying to advance technology in ways to make life easier for all. What sounded like rocks tumbling could be heard somewhere to Nappa’s left. He immediately bent his knees, making a smaller target. There shouldn’t have been the sound of anything out where he was - so it was almost definitely Ember. Quietly, he took off his jacket, leaving only a form-fitting gray long sleeve with a pair of dark, worn leather gloves. He waited a moment, curious if she was about to strike. After counting to three, nothing had happened. Nappa decided that was his cue to start the assault. He began sprinting down the space between the two stone apartment buildings, leaping over broken bottles and various signs of what used to be life, before he saw a flash of red hair. He’d been right! Nappa chased the hair to the backyard of one of the houses, before jumping through the air. The pair had agreed before the fight not to take any damage done to each other personally, but he still couldn’t help but wince as he corkscrewed his body, aiming to land both his feet (and the heavy boots he wore on them) on the center of her back. He felt himself hit something solid (her back? The concrete?) and bounced, taking a slight step back. “Ready for that rematch?”There really wasn’t any need for them to be fighting; Ember had instigated it earlier. He could only barely remember himself, but apparently while they were in Otherworld, they had done a tournament match and he had bowed out on purpose. The Fae woman had been bothered by it ever since. This didn’t affect Nappa, though... until she had chosen to question his fighting prowess in front of the entire Mess Hall. One thing had led to another, and the result was a scheduled fight that everybody on base was waiting to hear the results of. He shook his head slightly, still a bit annoyed at her underhanded tactics. But if she wanted to see what the Saiyan could really fight like, he would show her. He waited just long enough to see if she would speak or not before bouncing forward, throwing a right hook at her jaw. Before he even pulled his arm back, his second fist was already balled up, sending a straight left at her gut to leave her winded. He wasn’t trying to demolish her or anything, but he wanted to show even with his first few punches that while her Fae traits kept her able to keep up with him in raw power, his technique was something that had to be honed over years of training.

| GONNA GETCHA GOOD Ember Word Count: 676/676
Zenkai, Champion II |
Running through the alleys felt like a game of hide and seek that Ember had played with the other Fae when she was a child - save for the rats feasting on open containers of food, along with the broken glass from where vandals had shattered windows in the desolate buildings in their attempts to get inside and loot them for whatever treasures they could find.
She had gotten there much earlier than she should have, but chalked it up to being overeager for her rematch with the hulking Saiyan; she had been practically a pile of restless energy since he had agreed to fight her, and had barely been able to contain her excitement. The night before she hadn't gotten any sleep, instead sitting up and running through battle strategies in her mind - trying to prepare for anything that Nappa would throw at her. Logically, she knew that he was much stronger than her, but she was determined to at the very least, prove that she was on par with him in some capacity. In all truth, she had been offended when he threw the match at the Fighting Grid in Other World - it had felt like a blow to her stomach, as well as her ego.
Continuing to move through the decrepit alleyways, she kept an eye on the skies - she knew that Nappa was supposed to be arriving soon, and didn't want to take the risk of being blitzed by the male. Ember had been sure to bring her scouter with her, to keep it equipped just in case she got too distracted to sense his energy barreling toward her. Unfortunately, while her eyes were on the blue sky above her, she didn't notice her foot colliding with a pile of stones that someone had just... left lying around? The same moment that she realized just how loud the noise had been, her scouter began blinking.
He was here.
A cat-like grin crossed her lips, and she began weaving through the alleyways, her heart picking up speed in her ribcage. She could hear his footsteps on the pavement behind her, like a predator closing in for the kill. She stopped running as she came to an open space that looked to be the remnants of a backyard - and spun, barely moving in time to avoid Nappa's feet slamming into her. She huffed, eyes wide - what a dirty trick! Still, she couldn't deny that she was happy to see him - between Raven joining the Saiyan Empire and his work, the two hadn't seen much of each other until this point.
"Ready for that rematch?"
"I've been waiting all week," she said, the smirk returning to her face.
She looked at him for a few beats, focusing her attention on his center of gravity - hopefully, she could anticipate his attacks a bit easier and react more effectively by doing this. Just as the thought crossed her mind, the Saiyan threw a punch - directly for her face - and instinctively, the redhead crossed her arms in an attempt to keep his large fist from colliding directly with her jaw.
"Not the face!" She cried, but was shortly cut off by his other fist colliding with her abdomen. She coughed, trying to ignore the dull throb that was now radiating through her midsection, and jumped backward, clutching at her stomach.
"Never took you for a dirty fighter," she managed, golden eyes flicking up and a purr accentuating her next words, "I can be dirty too."
Ember grinned, but lifted her hand from her stomach. There was something beginning to bubble up in her gut, and for a moment, she believed that Nappa had hit her so hard that she was going to vomit - until she realized that it was pure heat trying to escape from her lips. She opened her mouth, and flames escaped from her lips, hopefully doing enough to momentarily render the Saiyan surprised, just long enough for her to move forward through the flames and throw two quick jabs of her own at his abdomen in return.
Hopefully, the first two punches would make him focus enough on what her arms were doing so that she could lunge forward and throw her leg out, aiming for his shin - she didn't quite know how strong the muscle was, but the half-Fae used as much of her strength as she could to slam her foot into his tibia - trusting that it would land.

“I can be dirty, too.”
A Cheshire smile followed, and Nappa could feel his body start to heat up. Was this her strategy? To try and distract him to win the fight through trickery and deception? She had just said she could fight dirty... though clearly, that wasn’t what she’d meant in saying it. The Saiyan took a step back, trying to give himself a moment to collect himself because he didn’t want to make a mistake so early in the fight.
Unfortunately, he realized a moment too late that the rising heat in his cheeks had nothing to do with him being a prude, but rather was his body warning him of what was to come. A column of flames had been vomited from the Fae’s open maw, headed straight for Nappa. He had taken a step back, but it wasn’t nearly enough distance to avoid the fire licking at his clothes and singing the hair on his arms.
Quickly, he tried to pat the flames dry, before he ended up with a top that was all charcoal. It seemed like that was exactly the distraction that Ember was hoping for, because she burst through the remaining wisps of fire in the air, throwing two fast jabs right into his belly. Air whooshed out of the Saiyan, but he learned his lesson - he needed to treat her like an actual opponent and keep his eyes on her.
In fact...
He had bent over instinctively when she punched his gut, giving him a perfect view of her leg - one of which appeared to be gearing up for an attack. Before he could focus on trying to get any oxygen in his lungs, the Saiyan lifted his own leg to try and parry her kick as though their legs were two swords that met 6 inches from the ground. He stomped his foot back on the ground once he’d gone for the block, and tried to move as fast as he could to keep her from getting her balance back, striking twice with his open palms underneath the side of her ribcage.
He paused long enough to take his long-awaited inhale, before stepping even closer, removing all distance between them. At that point, he began throwing as many jabs as he could, hoping to keep her off-balance. Every chance he got, Nappa took a step forward, making sure they stayed inches away from each other. Still, he jabbed, sending dozens of fast punches at Ember in an attempt to push her up against the back wall of the house.

The half-Fae had gotten a few punches in - and maybe, in the process, allowed her ego to swell up a bit too much. The moment her leg was about to connect with the Saiyan's shin, he managed to regain his momentum, slamming his large palms against her ribcage. The attack blew the air out of her lungs, and she gasped, pupils blowing out from the force of his strikes. She stumbled backward, but Nappa closed the gap, and moved to throw more jabs at her. His fists were flying so quickly that for a moment, she wasn't able to block at least half of his attacks, and could feel various parts of her abdomen throbbing dully.
Finally, she managed to cross her arms in front of her body again, managing to take the brunt of the punches on the underside of the limbs, and wincing from the strikes.
She had to admit - he was much stronger than she had given him credit for. Maybe riling him up in front of the rest of his colleagues wasn't the best idea, but what could she have done? When she had asked him outright to fight her again, he had always changed the subject or tried to show her affection in an attempt to distract her -- and most of the time, it had worked; but she had felt as if he didn't recognize her as an opponent, seeing her as the fragile Fae that he had met on Earth all those months ago.
She wanted to change that.
Ember wasn't going to give Nappa the opportunity to get any more attacks in. As soon as he stopped assaulting her with his fists, she took off and ran toward the entrance of the alleyway that they had just come from, and skidded to a halt in front of it, drawing her bottom lip between her teeth and making eye contact with the Saiyan.
"I think you've seen this before," she called to Nappa.
Ivory Ki blasted from all areas of her body, creating a bright silhouette around the Fae, and the dust around her began to kick up, almost as if the very Earth around her was shivering in response. White wings decorated in intricate, golden patterns sprouted from her back, and she could feel the pain that he had already inflicted lessening slightly - the dull sting was still there, of course, but there was such a significant boost in power coursing through her that she was able to ignore the aching much easier.
Ember didn't feel good about what she was going to do next - it was quite literally a dirty trick, but if he was going to go all out, she would too.
"I'm really sorry about this, but no hard feelings!"
She opened her mouth, and let out a blood-curdling shriek. Nearby, windows that hadn't already been destroyed by vandals exploded, and rats fled from the spaces they were occupying. There was virtually no chance that Nappa would be able to block this attack - which would hopefully give her the opening she needed to inflict some damage of her own.
"Sorry!"

The second he hesitated for a breather, Ember took off, racing down the alleyway. Was she headed back for the street? Was she already fleeing the battle? He chased after her only to see her stop and face him right before popping out onto the road. It was so sudden that Nappa actually hesitated as well, slowing to a crawl as she called to him. “I think you’ve seen this before.”
Seen what?
Nappa looked around in all directions, thinking a trap had been laid for him. Thankfully, it wasn’t something so devious - Ember was just announcing that she planned on transforming. As the snow-white aura began to glow, illuminating everything in the vicinity, Nappa pondered if he should transform as well, and show off his red form. In the end, he decided against it. There wasn’t a need yet - she was the one on the backfoot, after all. She was transforming out of necessity, and if he chose to transform now, before it was even clear he needed to, it could come off as overly aggressive. He didn’t want to potentially fight with her later.
As the light faded, he could see her golden wings behind her back. She had even grown visibly more self-confident in transforming, as though she was now one step closer to her true self. He grinned at her, forgetting for a moment that the pair were locked in combat, until she gave him a pitying look. “...no hard feelings!” The Saiyan instinctively brought his arms up in an X form across his chest, but he needn’t have bothered; she wasn’t going for an energy attack.
Her screams pierced the air, and the Saiyan dropped to his knees, unable to focus on anything else but trying to shut the sound out. His hands were pressed against his eardrums with all his might, but he could feel himself losing balance. The noise was so disturbing that it shifted the fluid in his inner ear. Even moreso, his sight started to worsen, as the sound vibrations were making his eyeballs shake. The bald warrior shut his eyes, trying to keep from losing his breakfast, but there was no relief.
At some point, it stopped, though Nappa had no idea of how long she had screamed for. Seconds? Days? Perhaps he’d blacked out? All he knew was eventually, he heard the peaceful sound of nothingness, with her regular voice carrying an apology over to him. He didn’t immediately react, still trying to recalibrate. For whatever reason, no other attack came right after, and he knew he couldn’t sit on the ground forever.
“It’s... it’s fine. You’ve shown me that trick before,” he muttered in a daze, eyes still locked on the asphalt.
He stumbled to his feet and ran full-tilt towards the voice of the Fae. As he closed the distance between them, he could feel himself stepping on freshly shattered glass, a further result of her attack. Right before Nappa was close enough to touch Ember, a nearly translucent purple film coated both of his hands. His hands closed into fat, meaty fists, leaving only his index fingers jutting out, and he began poking as fast and as hard as he could all over her body. Making educated guesses based on her body type - a body type he knew fairly well by this point - the Saiyan attempted to force her body’s toxins to come to the surface and physically slow her down.
Once he felt like he’d done enough, the Saiyan took another step forward - closing all distance between them - and attempted to grab her in a full bear hug. He prayed he wasn’t about to grab air like a complete moron as he closed his eyes shut and squeezed as hard as he could.

Ember knew that her caterwaul was powerful - after all, she had watched from the depths of her shared consciousness with Raven as her darker half used it in a battle with Lord Frieza, and seen how it affected the crowd as well as the Changeling Emperor. Yet, seeing it affect Nappa in such a way caused a pang of guilt to flood through her system. She began to forget about their battle for a moment, taking a few steps forward, ready to comfort the Saiyan and begin to apologize profusely, but he simply responded to her initial vindication with, "It’s... it’s fine. You’ve shown me that trick before."She relaxed slightly - he was able to speak, so that wasn't a bad sign. Then, he got up, staggering, and rushed toward her. Her brain clicked into gear, remembering that they were, indeed, in the middle of fighting each other - she had to get her head on straight. As he charged toward her, she noticed a purple film covering his palms - it wasn't something she had ever seen before in battle, but then again, she hadn't been in many duels before. She barely managed to back out of the way, barely missing his thumbs jabbing into various spots on her body. It didn't seem like he was done, though. She hesitated after he had withdrawn his fists, and that was her mistake - the next moment, she was scooped into a bear hug by the Saiyan - eliciting a gasp from the redhead. "If you wanted to hug me, you could've just said so," she laughed. Unfortunately, hugging wasn't what he'd had in mind. Instead, he squeezed, and she could feel the bones in her torso screaming in pain, begging for him to release her. She winced and began to slam her hands against his shoulders - she had been hugged by him before, wrapped up in his arms but never this tightly. When he held her, she always felt safe - now, it was quite the opposite. She took a few wheezing breaths, and for a moment, just gave into the feeling. If this was how he'd planned to defeat her and walk away the victor, she couldn't say she minded much. Her body, on the other hand, was still throbbing with stinging aches by the time he finally loosened his grip. Ember took the opportunity to rear her hand back (whether he was loosening his hold on her enough for her to move out of his arms, she didn't wait to find out), and allowed her ivory ki to coat her palm, before moving to slam it into his chest in hopes of getting him to release her. "Next time you feel like cuddling, just tell me, okay? We can stop the battle to do whatever you'd like."

RP Award: Nappa Naps (This is funny to me because Nappa has no hair) Breakdown: Give this a straight read through from post 1 to post 6. Its a story. I like that. Chemistry is pretty obvious in this, but so is the battle experience. Nappa kept the edge by keeping the flow of combat rolling -- though its still a toss up. I enjoyed the reading process and didn't care for picking the Award winner, I just knew one was needed. Projected Damage: Now this is my damage which is calculated and all that stuff so its fair and stuff like that. Whatever. Do with it what you will, but when it is time to determine a winner this is what I'm going off of if you guys can't come to your own decision by then. Nappa: 5.86% Ember: 26.97% I have even further breakdown of each attack's impact if you guys are interested just hit me up. |

He didn’t look like a moron after all.
As he held her body close, squeezing with all his might, he could feel her body condensing within his grip. The ribs moved closer and the organs touched. Through what must have been at least some level of pain, though, she still managed to be upbeat: “If you wanted to hug me, you could’ve just said so.” Nappa wasn’t surprised by her tone, or the flirtatious comment - he was much more surprised that she was able to say that smoothly, as though he wasn’t even using enough effort to make it harder for her to breathe.
Did this really only feel like a warm hug to her?
Just as she slammed her arms into him, he loosened his grip, feeling the slightest bit of disappointment. Perhaps her transformation had increased her power a lot more than he’d assumed. As he loosened his grip on the Fae woman, he finally saw that she had only been pretending to be unaffected, and took a moment to wheeze. Nappa watched her closely, to make sure that she was only out of breath and hadn’t suffered a broken rib or something serious - despite this contest being mostly for her ego, he had no issue flying her to a Juve Tank to heal her should she sustain any serious damage.
He grinned when she started to raise her hand, clearly feeling better. He expected her to give a thumbs up or something to that nature, but instead her hand wound up. Was she going to slap him?? He instinctively twisted his head to avoid a potential face slap, but she wasn’t going for that at all. Instead, Nappa glanced down in confusion when he felt that she had slapped his chest.
There was an odd clunking sound associated with the slap, but he didn’t immediately feel anything that was cause for worry, so he chalked the clunking feeling up to maybe his heart bouncing and touching one of his ribs... He was a sweet man, but science wasn’t his forte. With the worry of Ember being injured gone and no concept of his own injury other than the smarting feeling of an open palmed smack on his pecs, Nappa decided to continue their brawl.
He still wanted to keep it physical for the most part, not wanting to destroy the city with unnecessarily powerful attacks. He lifted his arm to take a swing at her side when--
“Oh ho ho! So I didn’t miss anything yet!”
Nappa’s eyes darted upward and to the right to find that there was a small crowd of three Saiyans, all cheesing and watching the encounter from the rooftop of a building on the other side of the street. He didn’t recognize them by name, but had seen their faces around the Base from time to time. Nappa’s hand dropped slightly, distracted by the newcomers. One of them spoke again: “I got 50 Zeni on the redhead. Old man over there probably needs to take his second nap of the day soon.”
They were childish insults, and not even the slightest bit creative. Somehow all three of them still laughed. He shook the jokes off and refocused on the fight. Or, well, he turned away from the group as though he was ignoring them, because despite Nappa wanting to say that having an audience didn’t affect him, it did. As he lifted his fist and went for a hard right to her gut, he actually moved faster than he ever had before.
Something had changed in the atmosphere, giving everything in his peripherals a faint blue tint, but he didn’t take his eyes off Ember. He tried to elbow her multiple times, followed it up with several good shoves to her shoulders and chest (which he was careful to be respectful of), and cocked back a fist for several lean-into-it heavy punches. At that point, he’d realized that there hadn’t been a single reaction from her.
“Sweetie?” He looked up to see that the blue tint had covered everything around him, leaving him in what looked like some kind of stained glass cathedral. He wrinkled his brow, unsure what had happened. Maybe she’d trapped him in some ball of Ki? Confused, he gave her a firm kick to the shin, and as his foot flew through the air, the blue encasing around himself shattered, leaving nothing behind.

| i think about jumping Ember Word Count: 908/2,662 |
She had gotten too cocky for her own good, evidently. Nappa hadn't even reacted to her attack that was meant to throw his chakras into unbalance. In fact, he had smiled before her hand lifted to slap him - she wasn't sure he had given her anything more than a smile as a reaction, and she felt annoyance flood through her veins at the sight. Were her attacks really that weak? He lifted his hand to swing, and planted her feet into the ground, ready to block whatever he had ready for her, when a voice made her flinch, throwing her heart into the same rhythm of a kick drum. "...didn't miss anything yet!"
She wrinkled her nose slightly, annoyance flickering through her features. She didn't recall telling anyone about the location of their fight even though it had been scheduled, which made her wonder if Nappa had gone around bragging about how he was sure to win. Even as the thought crossed her mind, she felt as if it were irrational. He wasn't the type of man to go around and boast about how much stronger he was - unless he was looking for a fight. Even then, Ember wasn't sure he would do that. Still, the image of him prancing through the mess hall, laughing with other burly Saiyans about the 'little fae' that thought she could beat him flitted through her head, causing Ember's face to heat up. An irrational, instinctive anger took over her body as the warrior atop the roof finished his sentence. "...of the day soon!"
Bellowing laughs escaped from them, and she turned her head toward them, red hair getting caught in her face. She was getting tired of hearing them talk, even though they had only spoken a few sentences. All she wanted was a battle where she would be able to prove that she could indeed beat him in a fight - that she could hold her own. She had been protected by him for too long - what would happen if he was on the Lunar Base when another assassin attacked, and he couldn't get to her in time? "Shut up!"
Her emotions had once again gotten the best of her, and she felt Nappa's fist connect with her gut, causing spittle to fly from her lips. She could swear that for a moment, time stopped! The whole phenomena was strange to her - just moments before, he had to have been a few steps away from her, so how did he move so quickly? She coughed again, before spitting on the dirt and regaining her bearings. Standing up right as his elbow drew back to drive into her, she knew she wasn't going to take any more hits from him if she could help it. She waited until his hands moved to shove her, almost as if he were a child in the middle of a schoolyard fight, and Ember grabbed his wrists, squeezing as tightly as she could to gain leverage, before attempting to push him backward. If it worked how she'd hoped, he would be thrown off enough for her to get an attack in. Unfortunately, Nappa wasn't done with his assault yet. He drew his fist back, ready to hit her with his heavy punches. She crossed her arms over her torso as she had done at the beginning of their fight, taking the hits directly to her arms. She grunted at the sensation - had he gotten stronger somehow? He must have, because his punches felt as if they were bruising her instantly. "Sweetie?"
"You're punching me really hard," she gritted out. He seemed to ignore her protests, and the next moment, his leg connected with her shin, making her yelp and release the block she had put up. The half-Fae backed up from the Saiyan, panting slightly and trying to ignore how her bones felt as if they were going to splinter. She knew she would be covered in bruises the night after the fight, and made a mental note to milk the pain as much as she could so that Nappa would get her whatever she wanted. She could hear laughter coming from the rooftops now, along with one of the Saiyans booming out, "Might have to bet some Zeni on the baldy! He's hitting her hard!" Anger flooded her and she rushed forward with her full speed, moving so quickly that for a moment, she believed she may have used Instant Transmission to get behind Nappa so quickly. She lifted her right foot, and went to bring the leg down on his back as hard as she possibly could. Her goal was to send the male stumbling forward, and as long as it worked, she would teleport directly in front of him, sending yet another furious kick to his gut, with the intention of sending his body into the air. One more time.
Finally, Ember teleported once more, moving as quickly as her body would carry her, before slamming her leg into his back once again. The half-Fae skidded to a halt, her chest rising and falling as she tried to catch her breath. The anger was ebbing now, and she looked at Nappa, hoping that she hadn't done too much - the last thing she wanted was to hurt him. She moved a bit closer to him - making sure to keep a healthy distance - and murmured her next words so that the men atop the roof wouldn't hear her. "Was that too much?"

Nappa froze at her words.
You’re punching me really hard...
He should have noticed that he was taking his anger from those guys out on her - there was no point to it, and he immediately wanted to apologize.
“Might have to bet some Zeni on Baldy!”
At those words, he knew he couldn’t apologize to her directly. With the peanut gallery watching, he could only give her an apologetic look. He couldn’t even speak to her through their telepathic link, which made him think that she had shut off their connection out of hurt from what he had just done. I might have screwed up...
He blinked and she vanished. Where had she gone? He hadn’t lost focus of her like he had done earlier in the fight - she had just disappeared from view. It couldn’t have been Transmission... she hadn’t put fingers to her forehead. Was she actually that fast? The Saiyan started to crane his neck to see if she had moved to the side, when he felt a crunch in his back that sent him folded over halfway. Several of his spinal discs cried out in pain, but before he could fully register what the damage was, he saw a blast of copper hair in his vision and felt something shoved deep into his abdomen.
Nappa’s feet left the ground, and he was in the air. The pain had muted his hearing, so he wasn’t sure what was going on, but he could barely breathe. There still wasn’t any let-up, though. A third attack, this time on his back again, forced him back to the ground, face planting the asphalt brutally.
He could feel the metallic taste of blood in his mouth. All three attacks kept folding him more and more in half the same direction, and while his face had slammed into the road, his stomach had not - Nappa’s butt lay perched in the air like a mountain to be climbed. As his hearing slowly came back to him, he could hear the jeers from above them. Clearly, they had picked a new person to win this fight.
The Saiyan did his best not to look to the right as he got back to his feet, simply rubbing the gravel off his cheek and letting a mixture of blood and drool dribble from his mouth. His back still didn’t want to straighten just yet; he would have to ease into that position. There would definitely be bruises along his spine by the afternoon. Nappa didn’t plan on giving up, though; they were already cracking jokes about him being an old man; if anything, him being bent over just felt like him leaning into the insults.
He would show them - and Ember - what this old man was capable of.
Of course, he didn’t plan on doing anything to damage her; he didn’t feel an urge for vengeance, because it was still a friendly duel. Nappa just intended to make it clear that even if she had the upper hand with her transformation, he could win. At this point, he was refusing to transform, to show he could keep up with her without it. There was probably some level of toxic masculinity hidden there, but he could parse it out later. For the moment, he was not going to get dog-walked by his girlfriend.
Still bent over, his head was somewhat at chest level for Ember. That worked out perfectly. He crossed his arms over his shoulders and rushed forward, with his head jutting out. He intended to slam into her body with his skull, knowing its rock hard bone would leave her gasping for breath. He kept pushing, attempting to slide her back a few steps after the initial hit - assuming that first hit landed.
After rushing forward for several steps, he finally backed off, and raised his eyes just a bit to look at her. She was still within arm’s reach. He didn’t have the agility to do anything fancy until he had straightened back up, but he did throw a few quick jabs at the Fae woman, just to keep pressing the attack. His mind started to wander to the food they could eat after the battle. He was suddenly feeling a little hungry...
“Are you hungry?” he asked, as casually as if they were just chatting in his barracks about what to do next. “Maybe we could teleport over to Earth and eat some chicken alfredo for lunch.”

When crimson liquid tinted the gravel underneath Nappa's face, she nearly burst into tears, but thankfully managed to hold back her emotions. It wasn't easy for Ember to contain her feelings as easily as other females she had met - most of the time, if she felt something, everyone around her knew - but with the risk of being teased by everyone on Valhalla for the next few months, she managed to hold in her feelings, stand up tall, and watch as Nappa began to move. He had to have something in mind, and she didn't realized what it was until the last moment. He rushed forward, and she managed to throw her palms out just in time - he was trying to headbutt her! Even though she had managed to catch his skull in her hands, a stinging rang through the skin as if she had just stopped a moving truck. She didn't make a noise, as she'd expected to from the impact - but continued to try and push him backward even as he continued to move forward. She dug her feet into the ground, and could feel her feet making an indent in the gravel. Before too long, he finally relented, and pulled back. Ember took a breath, and smiled at him, believing that he was giving their fight a moment to rest - but he had no intention of letting up, it seemed. He threw a light punch at her, hitting her in her chest. Regaining her composure, she ducked out of the way just in time to avoid two more thrusts coming her way. She huffed, furrowing her brows. "You're good at this," she said, wiping a strand of red hair from her face. "Too strong for your own good, too." "Are you hungry? Maybe we could teleport over to Earth and grab some chicken alfredo for lunch."
She smiled at him, and thunder sounded overhead. In the midst of her battle, she hadn't even realized that the once sunny sky had become overshadowed with clouds. As quickly as she had noticed it, small droplets of rain began to fall from the sky, and purple lightning flashed amongst the horizon. Large booms sounded not even seconds after, and a small part of her thought that it might be best to cancel the battle before it began pouring, but she quickly brushed away that thought. "I could eat," she replied simply. "Just to let you know though, you need to get that appetite over before Christmas next year. If I'm going to move in with you, I can't spend all of my weekly pay on groceries." She said it mostly as a joke, but it was true - Nappa knew how to eat. It seemed that after every meal, less than an hour passed before he was asking if she wanted to grab something else to satiate their hunger - when in reality, she was still stuffed from whatever they had eaten prior. She always said yes, but most of the time, they would end up going out and grabbing food, and she would take a few bites before packing up the rest and taking it home. She couldn't complain though - he always finished his meals. The moment that she decided to make another quip at him about his appetite, a large bolt of lightning slammed into the ground beside her... or had it struck her? All she knew was that her body had gone numb, perhaps from fear or from the sight of what seemed to be the Gods themselves sending down electricity. She looked at her arms for any damage, noticing a faint lilac glow emanating from her skin. Some of the hairs on her arms had been singed, and she felt slightly dizzy - but somehow, more powerful. She looked up at Nappa, and then toward the Saiyans on the rooftop, who were staring at her, mouths wide open. The way they were gawking, she almost believed for a moment that she had been turned into a two-headed lizard. "Did I...I'm okay, right?"She craned her neck, looking at all areas of her body to see what could have possibly caused them to stare at her, and felt soft feathers tickling at her shoulders and the tips of her ears... had her wings gotten longer, somehow?

The moment the words left his lips, he felt a single drop of rain touch the top of his skull. He wiped a hand across the top of his head and looked at the wetness. He wasn’t sure why he’d done it - maybe to ensure it wasn’t blood? - but all he’d done was confirmed what he already knew. The skies had darkened, and it was about to start pouring rain. Nappa glanced up at Ember inquisitively, straightening his back a little more.
If she wanted to stop their fight until it was a sunny day, he would have no qualms about it. Her eyes betrayed nothing, though. She only said his favorite phrase: “I could eat.” She followed the comment with some jabs at his unending appetite, but Nappa wasn’t bothered. His appetite was large, but he didn’t need a lot to actually function. If she ever said no, he would be fine. Unhappy, but not starving.
Crack!
As Nappa watched Ember, grinning like an idiot at the thought of eating soon, he saw a bolt of lightning. It hadn’t hit Ember, though... not exactly. Where lightning bolts came down from the sky, this one seemed to come up from the ground and move through her, flying back up into the air. He’d never seen anything like that before. That wasn’t all, though.
Another strange thing was that the lightning had been purple.
Purple lightning bolts coming up from the ground? Nappa had spent a lot of time on Valhalla, and this was definitely new. But as the smoke from the electricity shooting through Ember’s body faded, he realized that perhaps this wasn’t some aspect of Valhalla’s weather patterns, but instead Fae genetics. She was... different. Her wings were longer. They had even changed color slightly, going from white to some kind of mix between white and gold.
Her hair had changed as well, turning even more bright red than before. Where a moment ago, her hair had been a very natural-looking bright red, it was now so shiny that it practically looked like pastel, or a crayon color. Nappa’s eyes slowly shifted to the right to look at the other Saiyans in the audience, and their jaws were also on the floor. There was no sound except the rain plopping against the concrete for several seconds, before Ember spoke.
“Did I...”
Even her voice was different. It had some kind of echo, as though multiple people were talking. Nappa’s mind immediately flitted back to the assassin he’d met after knowing Ember for only a day. Was that echo voice ability some sort of Fae transformation? Was he witnessing it in her right now? He kept his guard up, though; as much as he wanted to trust Ember, he had only ever heard this type of voice in a killer, and he needed to assess the situation before making a judgment call.
“I’m okay, right?”
She definitely was talking normal, even if she didn’t look or sound the same. He took a second before replying, still eyeing her to see if there would be any sudden personality shifts. As a Saiyan, he already knew that some transformations he might gain in the future would come from rage, so her personality changing was a possibility in his world. He didn’t keep the silence going for too long before speaking, though.
“Well... you definitely look different. How do you feel?”
He straightened up the rest of the way with a bit of effort, but with a sudden, echoing pop, he was fully able to stand tall as he’d had before her decisive kicks. After a second, he said, “Maybe we should test out what you can do. You definitely feel a lot stronger.” It was true; he could sense that her Ki had grown significantly in those few moments, though without his Scouter he couldn’t put a number to her growth. It definitely made him interested to see what her growth was.
“I’m gonna throw something at you, and I want you to just take it and see how it feels. Then you can hit me with whatever you want, and I’ll let you know how that feels.” He paused. “That way, we can see if I’m even going to be able to keep up with you. Because looking at you now, I’m not super sure I can even win this fight anymore...” He was laying it on a bit thick, seeing as he still had his red form that he could lean on in a pinch. In his defense, though, he really wanted to go eat. And he didn’t want to have to rage out to beat her; it felt wrong somehow.
Nappa took a second to wait to see if she agreed to his proposal, and if she did, he would lift his head up to the sky, shooting a stream of flames from his mouth. As the fire hit the water droplets falling from above, it made a steam cloud that left it difficult to see anything for a good range of distance. He knew she had just agreed to take the attack, but her body’s instincts might get her to try and block a hit, or toughen up her body before the blow to try and resist his power.
He wanted her to be completely blind so she couldn’t protect herself.
Once he was sure there was enough steam to make the area around them look like a sauna, the Saiyan took a couple steps, estimating about where Ember had been based on where he’d seen her moments before, and tried throwing a handful of fast jabs at her... well, he aimed for chest level, but he’d forgotten to check if she had changed height in her transformation.
He followed it all up with a simple right hook and then backed away, waiting for the steam to clear. Once he had backed away a few good steps, he called, “How are you doing?”

"Well, you definitely look different. How do you feel?"
She watched as Nappa straightened, and scanned her body quickly for any damage it may have sustained. She could tell that there as something different - the pain she had been feeling in her forearms and palms had almost completely dissipated after the buzzing feeling from the lightning had vanished, and she somehow felt lighter. Even the rain around her seemed to be bouncing off of her skin. "...feel a lot stronger."
She was listening to Nappa speak, but also examining her arms in the process. Other than a few raised hairs, there didn't seem to be any significant changes like she'd been worried about - no scaly skin or feathers, thankfully. Looking up at him, she took in his words, but also noticed how much clearer things sounded, felt, and looked. It was as if someone had fine-tuned the environment to look high-definition. She could hear the intonations of his voice, the raindrops plopping on the ground, smell petrichor in the distance, and even see the lines in his face. For a moment, everything seemed a bit overwhelming, but his last sentence caught her attention, causing her to beam. "...not super sure I can even win this fight anymore..."
She beamed, golden eyes twinkling. She couldn't tell if he meant it - there was absolutely no way that he didn't have a transformation of his own waiting in the wings, but she was glad that he lied to her, regardless. If he transformed, she would leave the battlefield... but most likely, her destination would be the nearest juve tank. "I think that's a good idea," she called. "I want to see how much I can take."She watched as he breathed flames into the air around him - a mist seemed to form over the area, and she blinked, squinting through it. She could see his shadow, continuing to breathe more steam into the air, but didn't move. Not long after, a heavy haze covered the area. Even with her heightened vision, she couldn't distinguish where the Saiyan was. In the distance, the men on the roof shouted out, "Hey! Can't see anything! Clear it up down there!" She began to bark out a laugh, amused at the idea of them squinting, eager to see more of her and Nappa's fight, but it was quickly cut off as the haze broke, and Nappa flew through, directing a light punch at her. She didn't react fast enough to dodge it, but it felt as if she had been hit by a particularly hard pillow, or maybe a snowball. Two more hits followed, before she decided that she was getting tired of taking his attacks. She felt her feet move, but the scenery changed so quickly that it nearly gave her whiplash. The half-Fae stood somewhere to the side of him, and a small smile formed on her face. Maybe now, she had the advantage? "Over here!" She shouted, a soft laugh accompanying her call. Widening her stance, she lifted her hands, one staying at her waist, and another outstretched - it was something she had learned while planet-hopping with Raven, but she couldn't recall which master had taught her it. Evidently, it was meant to give the user an opening and allow them to get more attacks in. She hadn't really understood it at the time, but hopefully now it would prove useful. After she was sure that Nappa was looking in her direction, she grinned, and thrust her palm forward. Ivory ki tinged with purple arcs of electricity lit up her hand, and for a moment, it flickered out. She tilted her head, furrowing her brows in mock confusion - of course, she already knew that it was part of this attack, meant to surprise her opponent. "Is this thing on?" She joked, before shrugging and slamming her palm against the air. The light seemed to flicker back on, and a bright, massive wall of her magic, sparking with purple bolts appeared, before moving toward Nappa to engulf him fully. "What do you think, darlin'? Am I stronger now?"

After a split second of silence, he could hear Ember’s voice somewhere to the side of him, a giggle half hidden in her words: “Over here!” He didn’t immediately react. She sounded fine, which was really all he’d needed to know. All his punches hadn’t hit something, but the ones that had felt less like they’d hit a person so much as a brick wall. Considering they were in the middle of a street, he knew that he wasn’t accidentally punching a brick house.
It was just further proof of how much tougher she had gotten since that strange purple lightning had hit her.
The steam faded over the next few seconds - it wasn’t like it was some intensely dense, unbreakable fog - it was just a really humid part of the air, after all, so the water vapor just intermingled with the less humid pockets of air near it and allowed the couple to see each other again. Ember was in a strange battle stance that he hadn’t seen her use before, grinning at him.
Her rising air of arrogance was a little concerning, but he didn’t chalk it up to anything immediately; Saiyans themselves grew incredibly arrogant throughout the course of a fight if it turned out they were on an easy path to victory - so maybe she was just very confident in her own abilities. She decided to test out her offensive power by using a Ki attack on him, which he didn’t mind.
As the red-haired Fae lifted her palm, a crackling energy began to form made of flashes of pearly white and a purple shade similar to what witches in Earthen movies would use. The energy began to grow brighter, before it suddenly petered out with no warning. That was odd. She’d barely used any Ki up to this point - how was she out? Maybe... maybe she was hungry enough to end the fight here, if she couldn’t even charge blasts in her new form.
“Is this thing on?”
It was a dumb joke, and Nappa grinned awkwardly at her to acknowledge he understood it was a joke, but he really wasn’t concerned. She clearly wasn’t out of power, so something was just--
His pupils suddenly dilated at an obnoxiously bright light in front of him. Before he could even finish his thought, the Ki attack had come back in full force - essentially a wall that stood between him and the Fae woman. He’d been so focused on thinking about other things that all he could do was stare for the brief moment before the attack hit him. His entire body froze from the shock. He felt like a vampire, as the heat and light burned at his skin, melting and searing it all away while he screeched in agony.
Nappa wasn’t sure if he screeched.
He knew the technique didn’t melt his skin off.
He could smell charred hair, and his whole body felt... sensitive. As though he’d suffered some kind of nerve damage. Shell-shocked, the Saiyan looked straight ahead; as his vision adapted to the normal light once more, he could see Ember’s mouth move, but all he heard was white noise, mixed in with random, unobtrusive thumping noises. He stared blankly for a second, shoulders slumped.
I need...
He opened his mouth, but the intense cottonmouth that he felt made it impossible to create words - or even sounds, really. He had felt mostly fresh a moment before - besides his sore mid back - but this was a completely different animal. As his mind slowly chugged along, he put the pieces together that he knew the technique she’d used. It was a twist on a Saiyan attack. Static Flicker, one of Luther’s specialities in particular. She had been training with the Saiyans here on this world, but he had largely avoided asking her any questions about the nature of her training.
Time continued to stretch while he quietly thought to himself, unable to talk. A thought struck him, though, sharply cutting through the fog: What the fuck?
The moment his mind processed those three words, heat flowed through his veins like lava, and he felt an unexpected level of anger building within him. Sure, this was supposed to be a competitive fight, and yes he had asked her to test out her power on him, but this was frankly irresponsible. She could have killed him! The amount of power that went into an attack like this was leagues beyond anything that they had thrown at each other before this point in the fight.
What the fuck?
A dark orange - almost burnt - aura wrapped around his body like a coat, licking at him like flames that did not harm him. His eyes bulged and his muscles began to multiply in size. He stared straight ahead, seeing nothing but the repeating memory of her mouth moving. He hadn’t heard her, but Nappa could lipread, and he had known what she’d been saying; it took him a moment to acknowledge it only due to how stunned he was. What do you think?
What the fuck?
Unaware of his actions, he began to float in the air. His body was acting for him, knowing that his mind was a little too slow to make the appropriate calls. As he rose into the sky, his aura grew larger and larger, looking to any bystander watching like a crimson whirlwind with a vengeful death god in the center. To complete the look, his pupils were completely gone, and his face expressionless.
For a moment, the tension hung thick in the air, before he vanished in a blur of red and black, headed back for the base as fast as he could. He didn’t even look back to see if anyone was following - the mind was elsewhere and the body focused only on getting itself to a healing tank. It would only react if it were stopped in its mission, and it would react as a cornered, wounded animal.
