Explosive Entrance (OPEN)

Shadic sat at the edge of the lookout, feet dangling over the side, as he looked out at the horizon. Being guardian was cool and all, but there was a lot more waiting around than the hybrid preferred. He hated not having anything to do, which was almost always the case when he was on duty. Thankfully, his friends and allies took up the job of dealing with the lowly criminals who always wanted to cause trouble in the streets of the cities, leaving Kami to deal with bigger threats, of which there had been very little over the past few years.

He sighed, reaching for his canteen of water to take a sip. Sometimes he wished he never accepted the Kami position, since he had already been doing pretty well without the title. Shadic never met the old Kami, at least, he didn't think so, which just went to show how much the Kami really does.

As the hero gulped down some water, a strange machine flying through the sky caught his eye. Shadic stopped drinking for a second, looking at the crash-landing ship soar into the horizon and onto the planet. Clearly, something was up about that. The being(s) inside had an immense power, power that most definitely required some godly attention just in case things went sideways like they often do.

The hybrid was excited, all thoughts of boredom fled his mind as Shadic zoomed through the skies, trying to see who, or what, decided to visit good ol' planet Earth today. It was not long before he landed on a rock about 500 feet away from the crash site. The technology of the craft was unlike any he'd ever seen, since it was not Saiyan or Namekian. What could possibly be inside?

The vessel landed carefully in the canyon, not causing any damage to the environment around it. Shadic could appreciate that, since most spacecraft just carelessly planted themselves wherever they pleased, especially Saiyans. Shortly thereafter, a man stepped out and looked around, unnoticing Kami perched on the rock. Shadic did not recognize this being, but he had comparable power to his own. Obviously this somebody could be a great ally, or a terrible foe, and Shadic would prefer the former over the ladder.

When the man turned his back to the hybrid, Shadic called out, "Hey, welcome to Earth. Home of the humans and site of the best foliage in the galaxy, at least in my opinion. I'm Shadic, I'm the officially assigned guardian of this place. What brings you around these parts, fella?"

This Aspara fellow was very cocky in his mannerisms and speech. One person? It seemed like a stretch, especially with a power like that. How else could somebody increase his strength so much without fighting people who could offer them a challenge? Then the newcomer started to question Shadic himself, which was not a cool thing to do.

"Uh," The hybrid started, "Cut right to the chase, huh? No small talk, no monologue, just 'hey, let's fight.' Well, I mean, I didn't choose to be the official 'Guardian of Earth,' people just decided I was best suited for the job," Aspara obviously wanted a fight, though his intentions did not seem malicious. A quick spar would most certainly be fun. Besides, Shadic had been sitting around doing nothing for a while now.

"But," Shadic continued, unintentionally dramatically, "I'll accept your challenge," He looked around, trying to think of a good spot to battle, "I could make sure your ship is safe from harm, but going somewhere else would probably be a better bet. Where do you want to go?"

This was definitely a rare occurrence. Most people who crash land onto Earth either have already been on the planet or have plans to kill everybody and everything. Aspara wanted neither, he just wanted a solid spar. It was an attitude that reminded Shadic of Nexon, who would always just appear out of thin air to have a quick battle before he'd just disappear again. Though, Nexon was never as arrogant as this newcomer.

Shadic followed Aspara to the field, figuring the place was just as good as any for a spar. There were no people, very few animals, and not a lot of things to damage, other than the ground itself. While the alien explained that this was not his most ideal battlefield, the Guardian took a few steps back and started stretching, making sure he wouldn't pull a muscle. This being's power almost rivaled that of Reku, who always managed to give him a good fight, so this was not going to be a cakewalk by any means.

"Oh, don't worry, you're going to get yourself the battle you want. I can promise you that, and I don't break promises," The hybrid answered, smiling as he did so. He had a few tricks up his sleeve he wanted to try and utilize in this spar. Shadic put his hands together to form a hand sign and said, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu,"

One of his ki decoys appeared in a cloud of smoke next to him before it charged at Aspara. Shadic wanted to see how he would react to such an offensive pace. Meanwhile, the real hybrid stayed back, ready to react to whatever was coming next. He did not take up a fighting stance at all.
