Meeting the Master (Private: Shadic)

PL: 100,100; Unsensable (or whatever) trait; tier 3 transformation not accepted



Shadic lay in his oasis staring at the stone 'ceiling' above. A thought just struck him that he was very possibly thr only hero actively capable of protecting the planet. Reku had been erratic lately, Big Shot was nowhere to be seen, and everybody else was too weak to even stand a chance. Nexon's memory problems made him vulnerable and Sonnelion's intentions were unclear to Shadic. After Sythius' acceptance speech was interrupted by the terrorist attack, the planet's vulnerability was more blatant than ever.

He sighed as he turned on his side. Then there's the possibility that his heightened power, while undetectable by anybody he knew, could be detected from malicious beings planets or even galaxies away. If that was the case, even being present on Earth was a threat, since it put a huge target on the place.

While he wanted to keep thinking, so he could eventually come to a conclusion on what to do, a loud noise broke his concentration. Shadic sat up, listenin to the crumbling rocks. At first he was worried the mountain of his oasis was being attacked, but he quickly realized the sound was not that close.

He scrambled to his feet, worried some extraterrestrial decided to pay a visit. Shadic took to the air, making his way out of the oasis and high into the sky. There did not seem to be any aliens threatening the extinction of humanity, but there was somebody trying to topple a mountain.

Shadic approached cautiously. The guy appeared to be a Saiyan, judging by his hair, so he could also be hostile. To make his greeting more friendly than anything else, Shadic spoke in his usual friendly tone, after getting within speaking range obviously, "That's an interesting training regime you got there. Not sure what that's training for ya, or how, but I won't judge."

He looked at the man attacking the mountain, not recognizing him in the slightest. Another new guy he'd have to keep his eye on, to make sure he didn't become the next big bad menace.

Shadic looked at his clothes to make sure he wasn't wearing anything strange. In his mind, he thought, 'Well, gee, I'm not sure who I'm supposed to be. What an odd question.' Okora's greeting was unusual and a little standoffish, but the hybrid wasn't worried about it. If the guy wanted a fight, he'd quickly understand who Shadic was supposed to be.

He scratched the back of his head before responding to Okora's question, "Well, uh, I think I'm supposed to be Shadic. Unless something happened overnight to change that. I just noticed your attack on this mountain and wanted to comment on it. Also, just so you know, the proper way to greet somebody is by asking, 'Who are you?' and not, 'Who are you supposed to be?' I'll just use this as an example, okay?" Shadic cleared his throat before asking, "Hello stranger, who are you and what're ya doin?"

Okora did not look very intimidating, but then again, nobody looked intimidating to Shadic. He did have to say, somebody who was willing to take down a mountain automatically earned his respect. They were no joke.

"Mountain destroying is a good place to start for both of those. Helps you figure out a good balance between power and stamina, which are important in a fight. How have we not met before?" Okora, who was only about 30% of Shadic's base power, still had a substantial amount of power. It seemed unlikely that they had been on Earth for any substantial amount of time without ever crossing each other's paths, but crazier things had happened.

"If I were you, which I'm not, but I was in a similar position to you a while ago, I'd recommend training in the desert. Scorching temperatures over 120 degrees every day, freezing cold in the night, limited water and food. That really emphasizes the importance of stamina. There was also a bandit group I put a stop to during my desert training, but it was useful nonetheless. Oh, and try training on other planets, too. I don't know where you're from, or where you've been, but a lot of other planets have special techniques that most Earthlings and Saiyans don't know." He'd never really given anybody advice on how to improve before, so this was a different experience to say the least. Anybody willing to train was alright in his book, especially if they were willing to take some advice along the way.
