Nexon's tactic seemed to work as Reku was focused on defending against the explosion in front of him. Managing to snake in, he would strike with a bladed hand formation, all his kinetic energy focused int he tips of his fingers. His hand would strike the outer muscle of Reku's shoulder before Nexon pulled away, grinning to himself. Reku probably wasn't hurt by it but that was not the intention of the strike, it was to weaken the nerve that connected his shoulder and triceps. "Heh...that was a nerve bundle strike. I hit your deltoid. It might not have hurt that much but you'll be having some trouble using that arm for a while."
After the little explanation, Nexon's aura would flare up around his body as he charged in to capitalize in on the opportunity. As it stood now, Reku was one arm down and there was more than enough time to ensure victory. Charging forward, Nexon would dart from side to side in order to throw off Reku's timing for a counter, closing in all the while. If he managed to make it into Reku's inside guard, Nexon would know that Reku would more than likely attempt to block his face since he was one arm down. However, Nexon's attack would be aimed at the body.
If he managed to get in, Nexon would launch a knee into the left rib cage. The tactic would be to make it difficult for Reku to breathe and therefore limit the amount of energy his muscles would get during the course of their battle.
Reku gritted his teeth as Nexon revealed his trick. ‘Crafty’ He thought, admiring his opponent’s efforts. As predicted, he lifted his one good arm to block his face as Nexon came in, only to see that knee coming in towards him, since his arm didn’t cover his whole face. He tried to spin around, coming back with a kick that would slam into his opponent’s face to send him staggering. If he succeeded, he would jump back to give himself some space. As he was currently, he knew he wouldn’t be able to compensate his lack of a limb with the overcompensation of the other. Due to this, Reku roared as he exploded into his Super Saiyan form.
Nexon managed to dodge the kick thanks to the wind up of Reku's kick, the bottom of his heel scraping against Nexon's cheek. Bringing his hand up, the red head would wipe away the scuff mark, a smirk moving onto his lips. "Come on now, you can do better than that right?" He would taunt as he moved back a bit, placing his guard up.
In a sudden flash of light, Reku suddenly transformed, a golden aura wreathing his form. The crimson haired Saiyan wouldn't be taking Reku lightly now. The sudden increase in power made him much more of a threat even if he only had one arm. Nexon suddenly found himself fighting not for revenge but because his instincts screamed at him to do so. He was beginning to enjoy the pace that the two of them had set and wanted to keep it going.
“You can’t handle everything I’ve got.” Reku replied confidently, consciously holding back his second transformation. He dashed towards Nexon using his improved speed and strength to his advantage. He would throw a knee at his chin followed by a kick to his gut with his opposite leg that would sent him back a few meters should the blow hit its mark. After he attacked, he would back up while firing a volley of blasts with his only good hand.
As Reku came forward, he seemed to close the gap between the two of them in an instant. His knee came up with a great deal of force, however, due to his guard being up, Nexon managed to squeeze his right arm in the way. The force of the knee managed to push the red head back where he was then nailed with a kick to the gut. However, rather than fly back, Nexon instead placed both hands onto Reku's leg, holding himself in place. The impact was hard, causing Nexon to gasp as the air was knocked out of him, though his grip still locked onto Reku's left leg.
Moving in close, he would move into Reku's open guard, knowing that this close, throwing a kick with his other leg would be difficult. At the same time, his left arm was dulled, meaning he could not throw close range punches and would have to try and strike with his right arm. Making it difficult for Reku to throw any offensive hits while still holding onto his leg, Nexon would focus on striking the thigh with his elbow. If he managed to bury a couple strikes into the tissue he would try to weaken Reku's left leg.
"Heh, maybe not but you won't get a chance to use everything if you keep fighting this recklessly!"
Reku was shocked as Nexon grabbed his leg. It was not long before he felt multiple hard strikes hit his thigh, the stinging pain shooting up and down his leg. Anger began to fill and fuel his body, his yellow aura flaring up. Once he was got the feel for the pattern that Nexon was striking at, he reached out with his right arm, attempting to grab Nexon’s forearm to stop the next strike. “IS THAT SO?” He yelled, attempting to fly in the opposite direction, bringing Nexon with him. Should his opponent still hold on, Reku would be flying around in circles in order to make him dizzy before flipping over and performing a heel drop to slam Nexon’s body into the ground.
Reku had a good strategy though it cost a couple hits to the thigh in order to nail the timing. As Nexon's left arm was grabbed to stop the elbow strikes, he felt himself flying around as Reku tried to shake him off. Tightening his grip on Reku's extended leg with his right arm, Nexon would grin as they were flying at a high speed. "As if this'll get me off! You're not even trying to fight are you?" Reeling his head back, Nexon would suddenly launch his forehead forward with as much force as he could muster. Aiming to strike Reku's cranium with his own if it worked.
If the headbutt landed, the force of it would daze even the red head, causing him to let go immediately, both hands moving to his hold his head. With his memory wiped, Nexon was fighting on pure instinct and muscle memory, he was part Saiyan and because of that, he was willing to use everything, even his own skull, to hit.
‘I did not see that coming.’ Reku thought as head met head. He would hold his own head in pain, looking at Nexon as he did the same. Seeing that he was left vulnerable, the half-saiyan willed himself to fight through the pain and fly towards his opponent as fast as he could. He brought his legs together and used the momentum to send a downwards drop kick right into Nexon’s cheek to send him to the ground. “You aren’t worthy of my full power. A powerful opponent you are, but you’d never last. I will restrain myself to this form to make it entertaining. Think of it as a thank you for giving me something to do.” He replied.
The flying kick managed to nail Nexon's cheek, sending the red head downward where he would collide with the ground. An explosion of debris would rise into the air, dust beginning to settle and show that a crater was formed from the impact. Standing in the center, Nexon could be seen, using his right arm to wipe away some sweat from his jaw. His clothing was covered in a few scuff marks as well as his body. Grinning to himself as he heard the other male speak, Nexon would crouch, bringing his guard up as he was ready to hop back into the fight.
"Look at you acting all high and mighty, you're not even that good. I can't transform so you've got a leg up on me there but you had to in order to keep up." The hybrid would smirk as he began to ascend from the Earth, his aura sprouting around his body slowly. Not so much of a roar this time, more like a breeze that slowly began to build up and pick up wind. The glow of he white flame that surrounded his body would gradually increase, though through control, it was not spiking, this time it was beginning to flow.
"Now, are you planning to continue or are you giving up? So far, I haven't used any real strength yet." Nexon would chuckle to himself as he spat from the corner of his mouth, waiting for Reku to make a move.
Reku chuckled at his statement. “While it’s true that you have a considerably large power, don’t get cocky. I have plenty of fight left in me.” He got into a fighting stance. “If you’re so sure you can win, then do so.” He added. His yellow aura flared up aggressively as he prepared himself to fight once more. It wouldn’t be long before he suddenly shot his body forward at Nexon, going as fast as he could before blinking behind him, firing a ki blast at his back. If this succeeded, he would try to quickly stop himself and spin around, attempting to hit in the back of his head with his opposite, but slightly weakened, leg.
