Wondering the Wilds [Liari]

Right as he stuck the chopsticks into the rice bowl he saw a strange thing wrap around it, something blue with what looked like a hand attached to it. Watching it snatch away his bowl he followed it towards a caped figure not far off from him, taking note the thing apparently was the figures arm. Looking at this new person who just stole his breakfast he saw blue skin and holes dotting along the persons arms. Judging by the persons appearance he figured it was a woman, a dark blue skinned woman with holes in her arms.... that was a new one on him. Getting up from the ground he made a quick dash from his position over towards the woman and while she was trying walking away trying to figure out how to use chopsticks, he grabbed her by the arm that had taken his bowl in the first place.

"Hey! Didn't anyone teach you some manners lady! If you wanted some of my food, you should have asked!" came from his mouth in an angrily annoyed tone of voice. Upon being up close to her he was definitely certain she was a woman, but he got another clue as to what kind she was. Glancing down for a second he saw her belt buckle with an M on it and he figured that explained the holes in her arms an dark blue skin; she was a majin. It was his first time ever having met a majin, but he at least had read about them while growing up. Truthfully it was surprising to him that it'd taken this long to run into one of them after his travels, least of all a rude one given her theft of his rice.

Looking at her dead in her eyes he spoke again "If you're really so hungry that you'd steal food,
apologize for stealing my breakfast, ask nicely and you can join me for breakfast."

After he was done speaking to her he waited for a response from her, still eyeing her until he saw her open her mouth wide open. Watching her throw the chopsticks away he saw her turn the bowl up and just empty it all into her mouth and began eating while looking him in the eye. If that wasn't bad enough she threw the bowl away while giving a slight smirk as she did it, making a vein appear on his forehead as he had an irritated expression growing on his face. Daigo could say without even a bit of hesitation that she wasn't just rude nor a thief, she was also a little punk to boot! Forgetting for a moment that she'd just stolen his food, the fact she ate it in front of him then tossed the bowl while smirking at him just ticked him off.

When the blue skinned punk finally started talking, she only ticked him off even more, reminding him of some teenage delinquent that liked picking fights and her last choice of words only enforced that thought. He'd have been an idiot to not sense her power before then and he knew she was roughly three times his own power or close to it, but he wasn't about to back down from her. Letting go of her arm and hopping back a few feet he crouched a bit, putting his left foot back a foot and his right foot forward a few inches. Tucking his left arm into his side with a fist formed and his right arm raised as a guard, he was all but inviting her to try and back her words up. Daigo knew not to underestimate his opponents, more so if they were stronger than he was, but if the majin fought the same way she talked and acted then he'd hopefully have the advantage in skill at least, possibly experience as well.

"I'll do something alright you little punk, I'll teach you some manners!" He said with an irritated tone of voice. After that he took a quick breath and started to calm himself as well as his mind, preparing to fight the dark blue majin consequences be damned.

Once he was in his stance he was ready for whatever she may throw at him, though for a few moments he wasn't sure what she'd do. At first he saw her head cocked to the side, but shortly there after he saw a deep frown form onto her face, giving him a bit of a worrisome reaction. Seeing her take a step forward and forming her hands into fists, he finally saw some kind of reaction from her and listened to what she said. While he couldn't that manners were stupid, he couldn't outright disagree with her claims of him being stupid for fighting her, though she wasn't wrong. He was about to fight someone roughly three times his own power, with his only advantages hopefully being skill and experience.

Daigo felt a certain edge to her words, what from he couldn't say but it was there, and it only made him more couscous of the majin. Hearing a grunt escape her mouth, he watched her raise her hand and started firing off a small volley of bullets at him. For a moment he thought about trying to deflect those bullets of hers, but the only things around them were trees and the most damage she'd have done would be to take down a few of them, so he went with his second thought; dodging. Pushing forward on his right foot he dodged her volley at top speed, vanishing between the bullets and appearing momentarily in front of them before vanishing again. When the volley of energy had finally finished he found himself only a foot away from the small majin and gave a look at her, not one of anger anymore but of focus and drive.

Taking a few leaps backs from the blue woman, he returned to his original stance and had his gaze fixated upon her once more. He wasn't certain if she was taking him seriously or not, but he was taking her seriously if nothing else and he'd have liked the same from her. Opening up his right hand, he waved his towards her in a 'come here' motion, beckoning his opponent to make her move.

His plan had been to hop back a couple of feet, take his stance once more and beckon the majin, yet it hadn't gone as planned.... at all. Having someone over a foot smaller than he grab onto his tank top was something, what followed a lot more. Watching her glare right at him as her eyes turned from grey to an off putting red was something strange, seeing one of her fists rearing back and coming to slam into his face was something very painful. Dazed by the powerful hit he stumbled barely an inch back when he felt the other fist hit him in the face and sent him spiraling towards the ground. While on the ground he rethought his idea of skill and experience possibly being in his favor, but not by much. The attack she'd landed on him was clearly his fault, he shouldn't have gotten so close to her without having prepared to attack her, so the beating he was getting was his own blunder.

Attempting to get up off the ground his action was met with a nice solid kick to his side, and unfortunately right into his ribs. He couldn't be certain how badly the damage was, but he knew for certain that his right rib cage was all fractured at the very least. Peering at the blue woman from on his back he watched as she straddled him and before he could attempt to get her off, she started literally beating him while he was down. With the speed she was punching him at and the fact he wasn't in the greatest of positions he had to grit his teeth and bare it, possibly to keep his own teeth. While he was busy trying to stay conscious from the constant beating to his head, he heard her call him stupid again and if he could have, he'd have hit him right in the face just to shut her up, but he knew he had to remain calm.

Not entirely sure if she'd gotten winded finally or just gotten bored, once she finally got off of him he laid there on the ground for a few moments, collecting himself while breathing slowly. His head was literally punched a few inches into the ground, he'd have a pair of black eyes for the next year, possibly fractured ribs for a month or more, but luckily enough his teeth felt intact. As his hand grabbed at the ground, he slowly had his fist full of dirt as he pulled himself up from the ground, setting up for a few seconds catching his breath and coughing up some blood onto the ground before raising himself fully to his feet. Daigo was shaky at first, staring at the woman a little ways away from him, planning his counterattack all the while. Taking a few more seconds to take deep breaths before he did anything else, he gritted his teeth and steeled himself for his next course of action.

Launching forward towards the majin he tried to keep himself as steady as possible on the way to her and once he was within a few feet, he started his attack. With as much strength as he could muster after the beating he'd taken, he started to throw a heavy barrage of punches at the blue skinned woman, all traveling at such high speeds that it appeared like he had suddenly grown eight arms in an instant, all of which were aimed at the opponent before him.

As their fight went on, the animals around them had long since fled, trying to keep away from the dangers of possibly getting involved with the fight. With clouds starting to pass overhead, some of them went past the sun, providing shade to those in the small clearing while at the same time giving a sudden sense of defeat for one of them in an instant. His attack had not only failed, but he hadn't even managed to get off a single punch. Before his attack could even begin the majin had just grabbed both his fists and held them in place like it was nothing to her. Daigo had thought at least he'd be able to get in one or two hits, possibly wear her down over time and manage to beat her, winning via endurance and yet she'd caught his attack like it was nothing.

When she started talking to him, she started by calling him an idiot again with a hiss and glaring at him with those red eyes once more. To make it all the more worse, she even called him hopeless and possibly threatened to kill him on top of that! The next thing he knew she just shoved him away with enough force to send him back a good ways away from her and with his already shaky body, caused him to fall flat on his rear. He'd thought at first he had a chance at victory with his skill and experience, and yet as it went on that chance kept getting smaller and smaller. Having lost so many times to his own father was frustrating, but he at least was leagues stronger than he was, but losing to someone roughly three times his own power? that was a knew kind of frustration for him. With his skill and experience he thought he could have won, yet by that point all of his experience told him one simple thing; run. Aside from the fact she was more powerful then he was, she was also more faster, to the point his fastest attack was caught by her bare hands before he'd even managed to start it.

Daigo tried to remain calm, but it wasn't going that well given the frustration he was feeling at that moment. He told her he was going to teach her some manners, and there he was bloody and bruised while she standing there without a care, maybe even looking down on him. At that point he knew the best and only course of action was to run away, simply give her the victory and be done with it, but he wasn't about to do that. He'd set out to teach the blue punk a lesson on manners and if he just admitted defeat to her then and there, she'd have probably kept going around doing god knew what to whoever was weaker than she was. Pulling himself back up off the ground once more, he returned to his shaky feet and looked dead at her "I said i was gonna teach you some manners you blue punk, and i don't give up THAT easily!" He'd shout at her, pulling his right arm back a little bit.

Gathering his energy into his right arm, he'd thrust his arm forward with a loud "HA!" as he sent a shockwave heading right for her. He knew he didn't stand much of a chance against her by that point, he knew his best course of action was to run, but he wasn't the type to just give up so easily because the odds weren't in his favor.

Watching on as his attack went threw without a hitch, what he saw filled him with something he couldn't describe, he wasn't sure if it was even a feeling at that moment. The ground and some trees were torn up and apart behind her and yet the majin just.... acted like it was a breeze. He saw her pants ruffle and some of what was probably her hair move some and that was it, to make it even more worse she just brushed the strands that did move back into position like she couldn't have cared any less. Once she said he was weak and just crossed her arms, that hit him just as hard as his attack having no effect at all on her, so much so he was gritting his teeth in anger and frustration by that point. Talking again at him, he soon saw her aura taking form and surrounding her from all sides, causing the ground around them to shake a little even.

Staring at her he saw that same aura being condensed into her palms into solid energy, just ready for an attack and he knew it all to well. His instincts told him to run away, but he couldn't by that out of sheer principle because of her, and not because she needed to be taught a lesson in manners. Daigo knew he was weak, weaker than all the powers he'd sensed over the last few years and even weaker than his opponent, but being called weak wasn't the problem but how she did it. She kept calling him stupid, saying he was weak and the way she kept acting it was like he was nothing but a toy that bored her to death. Oh it infuriated him to no end, as if all the time he'd spent getting to where he was had been for nothing, let alone the damage it did to his pride as a martial artist.

When she said he deserved what was coming, he saw the pair of energy beams heading right for him and he knew very well if they were as strong as the last attack blocking wouldn't have done much if anything, but he wouldn't falter to her. Stiffing his whole body up he put his hands out in front and caught the beams in each hand, shortly there after being launched off the ground and rocketing backwards. The sting of the beams hit his hands hard and the heat was only adding to it, but once he was shot through a tree it all went down hill from there. After going through three more trees the beams finally exploded and sent him straight into the ground by almost a foot, knocking the wind right out of him. As he lay there in the ground hurting all over, his hands bloody and stinging from the leftover heat, he could honestly say what he'd done had been the dumbest thing he'd ever done in his life.... by miles.

Daigo hurt all over, having scratches and bruises all over his body by that point and blood leaking out from every limb someplace, he wasn't even sure if he was still conscious until he tried to move and felt a sharp pain all throughout his body. Trying to get up was a fruitless endeavor at first, as the first attempt had him fall back down after only being up an inch and the second not much better. Once the third attempt came he forced himself to sit up and bit his lip from screaming from the pain of that one action. Breathing heavy as he looked towards the majin still unscathed by any of his attacks, he could have cut stone with the frustration he felt after all his attempts. Pushing himself up as best he could, once on his feet he stumbled over towards a tree to brace himself while keeping his gaze fixated upon the blue skinned woman, blood dripping from his right eyebrow.

After what felt like minutes passed by he left the tree's embrace and started to shakily walk towards her again, slowly as his breathing stayed heavy. Going towards her he coughed up some blood, having it splatter onto the ground while making his way towards her. When he was finally within a dozen or so feet from her he stopped, standing up straight while gazing directly into her eyes, his will to fight still not yet broken. If one looked at him it would have been hard to believe he still hadn't given up yet, his pants scorched with everything below the knee on his left leg completely gone and his tank top in shreds, barely hanging on to his body. With his chest heaving to and fro he finally spoke to her "T-There's more to b-being strong than just p-p-power." came from him, stuttering sometimes from the pain. He coughed a little before he went on "You t-think i'm weak? I-I've fought you with all my s-strength, took you s-seriously from the f-first moment, but you? Y-You didn't-" he went on, stopping as he coughed up a little blood into his hand.

Daigo wasn't frustrated at that point with himself, he was simply angry at the blue majin, and it unknowingly showed. He raised his aura ready to attack at any time, but it started to change, going from the normal white to a slowly changing crimson. As his aura changed, something else happened that he wasn't conscious of, the more his aura changed to crimson the higher his power started to raise, quickly going above his maximum with ease. "Y-You called me weak,
didn't t-take me seriously a-at all, and looked down on me like i was some kind of toy you'd g-grown bored of!" he said angrily, glaring at her as his power rose even more all the while. With the crimson aura enveloping him it seemed like most of his minor injuries were actually being healed, just enough so that he could fight with his full capabilities as he did at the start. Slowly his breathing went back to normal and the pressure from the rise in power kept showing, as the remains of his tank top were blown away and the small debris around them were starting to rise up from the ground and go slowly higher.

"You're a disrespectful fighter who looks down on those weaker then they are, as a person that ticks me off but as a martial artist.... that PISSES me off a lot more!" he'd shout at her, his power suddenly sky rocketing up even more as his anger reached it's peak at that point. Glaring at the little majin, he wasn't going to back down from her and he was going to show her why she shouldn't look down on those weaker than she was. "I'm gonna beat some respect into you punk, even if ends up killing me." Daigo told her in an irritated voice, and it wasn't lying to her. Bending his knees a little, he made a dash towards her at top speed, vanishing for a moment and reappearing in front of her with what looked to be eight arms ready to strike her down in an instant. His glare stayed fixated right onto her eyes as he unleashed his attack, a barrage of punches so fast he appeared to have eight arms growing out of his body.
