After his training sesssion, he went into his gold plated ship and began to go over everything he learned on toffit thus far as well as many types of fighting styles and strategies, it felt like he had a break for a astral spar. He sensed a power on earth which was getting stronger... now to top it off it's a strong warrior who he needed to test himself against wit just his god ki. He sat in his captain chair and sensed the energies of earth then found a right power to warm up against.... Upa.
He was in a forest where a large tree was followed wit many tall trees as this forest was a continent as well as having tree nearly touch the skies... he decided to now be stationary, upa would be drawn to this stronger power.

"You shouldn't go messing around with things you don't understand."
Though the Saiyan lady gave the warning, Upa had decided to give the item another shot. Now understanding it held some form of mystical powers well beyond his understanding (something about an astral realm?), the boy contemplated his options. Last time, he'd fought against someone so clearly above his level- but had to attribute his success to somewhat keeping up. If this alternate dimension was anything to go by, he would likely encounter something else this time. Perhaps, something less friendly. ... It could also be that one freaky doctor.
Ultimately, the native impulsively grabbed the gem by and, entered a meditative state. Still very much unable to control his psychic self in the other realm, the native appeared as is - entirely at the mercy of the scenery.
As opposed to last time's pitch-black, empty zone - intuitively allowing him to determine the ground from the air, this time was vastly different. "...Okay," A drop of sweat rolled down the side of his face as the boy nervously looked around. Trees. Trees everywhere. Trees there, trees here, trees literally everywhere his eyes could travel. Sprawling for meters over meters above the ground, lush and green in color and decorated well through bright sunlight. This was honestly, very beautiful; and he would take this over that black space from last time, any day.
He still wasn't sure what he was doing, but the power signature perceived was taken as his opponent. And upon a short travel to find the source, he could see a single man, apparently waiting on him.
One notable feature this guy entailed was, a tail and armor similar to Paukena. This must have meant -- "I see." Another alien from a faction he didn't know!
Politely greeting with a small wave, Upa remained relatively unfazed. Despite perceiving himself as weaker, he was oddly calm. "Did you create this space?"

Now wearing his full body plated saiyan armor with his tail wrapped around his waist underneath his master sash of kanassa. He had the mark of ken on his left arm, having his ultra weighted gi and his reinforced as well as inscriptive super weighted clothing. He was here to train, not laugh and he was getting ready to fight, he then turned and spotted Upa, he's never seen this man before but he knew he wasn't your everyday rookie or hired goon. He had a sense of duty and deportment to his present look.
"To answer your question yes, i am here right now. There is something coming which threatens the balance.... something horible and sinister beyond belief. I'm just warning ya, train up and wake up. It was seen through my mantras that you will play a serious role in the future and i'd be honored to train you and coach you...well my student is on earth, she could train you. so how about that and a spar?" Middy asked.

Whatever concepts the stranger was talking about, seemed foreign to the boy. He had, after all, only been confined to his own little world: the life at the tribe, training under Korin (and recently Kami), life out of the tribe, discourse gang life and leading a dojo by himself. He couldn't begin to fathom concepts that threatened something beyond his world, that being Earth in particular. In fact, aliens coming from other planets were by itself, something he had issues accepting.
"I'm, awake," He said, somewhat confused; "As far as I'm concerned, at least." He could still feel pain. Everything around him, tangible. That was his only hint as to his own state of awareness --
Though Upa was ultimately small-minded in faith. The idea that the very order of the galaxy or worse could be upset and he would play a role, wasn't even something he could begin to picture.
Regardless, the concepts that this man gave out were crystal clear. He only made of it what he could hope to. "I don't understand about the balance you speak of," The boy admitted, though shifting his weight to the back foot as he entered a fighting stance; both hands raised to his head level as he readied himself - "But I will take you up on the spar. Help me see how far I have come!"
Upa had already acknowledged that, the people in this Astral Realm were far, far beyond his scope. So, his most dire attempts would be made with no direct impact. -- Unless, he can surprise his opponent. Just once will do.

"The balance i speak of is the middle ground we live in, for if the string of a sound instrument is touched too lightlly it won't sound but if a string is touched heavily, said string will break... the middle ground is esencial in forms of karate, kung-fu, kempo and kendo. These are some of the universe's many forms of fighting. I'll say one thing though, your just starting out, i've been around the block and i'm not evil either, just realisticly i'm an equisite expert extremist in fighting. I was groomed by my performance in the empire, fighting tough opponents and many feats i've preformed to the extreme. It was quite fun, as this will be.... now watch as i'm only going to do this once."
He now braced himself and unsuppressed his power to 75% the rocks shaking and what not. Now he had a white light come about his body and now there was another warrior beside him that was a tangible clone.
"This is gonna be fun, i can feel energy so i can just up my power at will without killing you in this realm." He said as they both sprinted towards upa and started throwing fast punches on both Upa's left and right flank.

Now there was an analogy Upa could comprehend. He came from the villages of the Sacred Land of Korin, and was familiar with the stringed instruments this person spoke of. It was just the right example for the boy to understand, evident on his expression as his eyes widened, his mouth opening slightly; only an audible "ohh" absent from the picture.
An expert, fighting fanatic, huh. "I see. Well I'm no fighting expert," not at all. "I am a dedicated hunter though." A little bit of small-talk would be allowed, right? This man may have been awfully serious, mysterious and frankly even a little eccentric in his speech - but he didn't make the impression of a bad person at all. In fact, a part of the boy tended to lean towards trusting this stranger.
Until he powered up.
Paralyzed, stuck in place. Upa was used to facing people stronger than himself, several times over, in fact. When he'd just started out, the ghastly doctor frightened him to absolute stasis at the time. It's a miracle he came out of that exchange alive, in fact. And, it was happening again. He wasn't facing someone just 'five' or 'ten' times stronger than himself: this man was, without a doubt, far out of the boy's reach.
Him splitting in two wasn't doing Upa any favors as his expression colored in stress and intimidation. Like a cornered animal, desperately trying to remove himself from danger. It's fitting that there was no way he could properly react in time to the two clones heading to punch him, getting pummeled from both sides and smacked to the ground.
...And then, there he was. Eyes opened again, standing right where he'd just fallen. The shock factor kicking in, failing to comprehend what truly had transpired. Those numerous punches were probably enough to kill him, yet there he was, uninjured. "...??"
Well, he definitely wasn't going to waste this opportunity. Getting in stance, Upa drew both arms back as he crouched -- attempting to deliver a double rising fist to the chins of both of the man's clones.
He may have been fighting a little too desperately in the face of absolute, undeniable inferiority. But then, he was the underdog in every fight so far. What's another overpowered alien to match?
