Reku began adjusting his stance yet again, not feeling this form either. Quick jabs were hard to use considering the high level the fighters he faced were usually at. High speed combat was practically in their blood. Both of his feet were now planted firmly on the ground. He began to bring up his hands like a boxer’s again, but then changed his mind and instead lowered them. One hand was extended more than the other, as were his feet. The stance he was now taking was that of Kyokushin Karate. As the namekian took steps closer to the Saiyan King, the latter would do the same. As Reku moved to Sanctimonious Asshat, he was trying to figure out what would be his first move. One wrong move and it might be his last.

Each step Sanctimonious Asshat took, he could feel the weight of his body busting through the softer layer of dirt that rested as mud now due to the rain that had prior fallen upon them, his silken shoes were made for conditions like this, gripping the mud as if it were a solid rock beneath his feet. Each step however was easier than the last as he came closer and closer to the saiyan that stood before him. He noticed the stance shift of the saiyan, the lowering of his weight overall. It was an interesting stance, much like the last one that he saw the saiyan use, while it was an oddity that the saiyan was shifting so much, he found it interesting that the saiyan was changing his stance so frequently.
As soon as Sanctimonious Asshat was within arms length of the saiyan, he would drop to the ground, spreading his feet very far apart form one another as he went for a strike to the saiyan's lower torso, should this land he would follow up with a rising strike to the saiyan's chest with his clawed palm. Thus bringing him back to his normal standing pose, ready to strike or defend. However if his first strike did not follow up properly or failed he would be left open from behind, but otherwise cover his chest and face.
Seeing Sanctimonious Asshat drop and fire the powerful punch, Reku would turn to the side and lift his front leg, bending it at the knee. he fist would slam into the side of the hybrid’s thigh as he blocked it. The other attack, aimed at his chest, would come next, but the King would lean back as the bended leg would fire out as a kick towards the namekian’s waist. If this hit, Reku would plant the foot back down and switch to his other leg, following up with yet another kick that would push the warrior even further away.

Sanctimonious Asshat felt the first strike connect, but it was not with the torso that he initially targeted, rather it was the leg of the saiyan when he moved it to block the namekians attack. However the next move was not completely anticipated by namekian. A kick form the block aimed at the namekian, this gave Sanctimonious Asshat an idea to use this move as a means to retaliate to the saiyan. He had to move quickly in order to get this right. Grabbing the saiyan's leg and using it to push himself into the air, using the leg as a acrobatics horse.
From here he would attempt to land once more on his feet and use his grasp on the saiyan's leg to throw him aside and re poise himself in his stance. Regardless of the success of the throw, Sanctimonious Asshat would get a foot on the ground so that he wasn't vastly open for an easy strike by the saiyan.
Reku's eyes widened as Sanctimonious Asshat turned the King's attack into a tool for his own. The saiyan hybrid once again found himself being thrown by his opponent. He rolled upon landing on the muddy ground on the island they fought on. His clothes became heavily dirtied as he got onto his feet once more. Reku gritted his teeth and rushed Sanctimonious Asshat, aiming for a powerful high kick. If this succeeded, Reku would use the same leg and slam his heel back onto the namekian's head. The force behind the attack was created with the intent to put the warrior on his knees if it connected cleanly.

Sanctimonious Asshat shook his head in a means to more or less relax his muscles after successfully throwing the saiyan aside once more. Taking a deep breath and releasing the air from his nose, Sanctimonious Asshat turned to watch the saiyan recover from the throw, the saiyan drawing mud with him as he raced across the island. His recover wasn't nearly as slow as Sanctimonious Asshat could have hoped, but the fact of the matter did not have an effect on the fight as a whole.
It took his brain a moment to register the saiyan charging at him before he came up with a reaction towards the matter. Launching himself at the saiyan, swinging his right leg forwards to counter the saiyan's kick and get himself as close to him as much as he could. So that he fight could really start.
Reku gritted his teeth and growled as his kick was blocked and the two fighters got close together. The sudden awkward stop sent the saiyan’s body towards the namekian’s body uncontrollably due to be overtaken by the momentum. With nothing else to do but improvise, he pushed off the foot that was still on the ground and performed an awkward transition into a forward flip. However, upon landing, he would have his legs be specifically aimed to land on top of Sanctimonious Asshat’s head, which would be aligned right below the knee. If this attempt was successful, Reku would fall to the ground, landing on his back leaving himself vulnerable to an attack. Especially if he missed.

Sanctimonious Asshat could but step back as he witnessed the forward flip of the saiyan, he knew for a fact though he was still in range for a strike from his opponent. Reeling his right arm back and looking up at his opponent, he had to time this just right. He stood there, legs bent some and right arm bent at his side, facing out from him with an eagerness to be shot at the saiyan. A few seconds was all Sanctimonious Asshat needed, as soon as the saiyan peaked his zenith he shot himself up with his right arm tensed and the hand clenched ever tensely.
His intent was to strike the saiyan on the side of his leg, right beside the knee, swinging his arm in a left bound haymaker aimed directly at the saiyan's knee. Should this connect Sanctimonious Asshat would seek to recover bac unto his feet on the other side of the saiyan, otherwise he may as well be part of that mangle of limbs that was already airborne when the saiyan took his opportunity to front flip.
Reku gritted his teeth as the powerful punch struck him in the side of the knee. The added momentum made the King’s body move to the side, sending him rolling on the muddy ground once again. He laid on the ground for a moment, clutching his knee with his right hand. The pain took a while to die down. Not too long after, he slowly got up and growled. Nothing’s working, is this style still not good enough? He wondered. He looked over at Sanctimonious Asshat, who was already ready to go again. Reku extended his leg and stretched it out, making sure his leg was still usable. He reviewed the attacks in his head and decided that perhaps it was time to change his form again. He was beginning to wonder if he would ever figure this out.

Sanctimonious Asshat landed, flat-footed on the ground as he took a moment to recover from his own blow on the saiyan. Shaking his hand some to assure himself that he had not stiffened any of the muscles. Looking over to the saiyan, he could almost feel the abysmal distaste in the saiyan's mind. The namekian wondered if he would try any other forms against Sanctimonious Asshat as he had shifted so much already. Sanctimonious Asshat meanwhile put his hands up to his face, the palms still facing outwards and with a slight lean to his posture as he made his way over to the saiyan. His intent was to get with in the saiyan's close range.
Once he was however he would take a step towards the saiyan, but pull the leg up as soon as it hit the ground, throwing himself into a fall with the weight on his back leg barely supporting him, throwing the namekian into a forward thrust with his right arm extended at the saiyan. Whether this swing hit or net, the namekian would pull his body to the left to swerve his body into the start of a figure eight. At the precipice of each weave he would take another shot at the saiyan with the corresponding fit.
With each successful weave he would pick up speed, moving closer to the saiyan and shortening the time it would take for his fists to hit.
