Adventure Act 2 (Open)

[Thread Pl: 53,521]

The day had been nice and quiet. Celerous had spent most of it at his mansion, training himself in the lowest sub-level. Afterwards, he'd flown into Satan City, and gotten himself a big lunch at one of the various buffets. Now, he was flying over the landscape on his way back, drifting through the air at a very luxurious pace. The green grass below billowed softly in the wind, and Celerous found his eyes transfixed by the sight of it. Sighing with contentment, he lowered himself down to the ground, and flopped onto his back. He whistled a little tune and let his head rest in the palms of his hands.

The relative peace of Earth was its most charming quality, though Celerous knew it would end sooner or later. With a frown he wondered if he should be training instead of relaxing, then. He was in no condition to keep the planet safe; not at his low level of power. He needed to be at least as strong as Galen if he wanted to defend his home. Hell, he needed to be as skilled as him too. There was still a lot for him to do.

Celerous leaped to his feet and adjusted his weighted gi. As much as he wanted to rest, his training had to come first. And where better to do that than out in the open, where he wouldn't disturb anyone? 

With a mighty yell, Celerous's aura flared, and his power went with it. He raised it to his absolute base maximum, and his clear aura whipped around him, tearing up the tranquil grass beneath him. The grass, along with the dirt and rocks near him, tore through the air as they were propelled far away from where he stood. The hybrid flexed his muscles. Then he shook his head. He wasn't even close to strong enough.

Celerous had been in the middle of throwing a flurry of punches when he'd heard someone call his name. He turned to see a girl with a tail like his. She had really poofy hair, and her face seemed to bear more resemblance to Human's than a Saiyan's. With a blink, he realized this girl had to be a hybrid like him. His excitement was all but palpable. Celerous had never met another hybrid before, and certainly not one that was one part Saiyan and one part Human like him. How many others were out there? Questions for later.

"Yo," he raised a hand in greeting, "uh, I'm Celerous. This isn't even my full power, well it is in my base form. But I can get stronger than this. Just do plenty of training, and eat properly and you can hit this level pretty quickly."

He stopped for a second to ponder what she had said to him once more. He was curious, if she thought he was strong, then how far could she push her own power level? It hadn't been long ago when Celerous himself would have called his own power level "high." He knew now that in comparison, there wasn't much of a difference between himself now, and when he'd left the farm. This power he'd obtained had been gained in a matter of two months. He frowned.

"To be honest, I'm not all the strong. Not compared to some of the people out there," he paused for a moment, "do me a favor. Power up as high as you can. But, uh, avoid using the Oozaru form."

Celerous waited patiently for her to do as he requested. He'd always felt power hidden within himself; a power that he had recently mastered. He'd always assumed it came about because he was a hybrid, and if that was the case, then Sarara should have that someone inside her too. He made sure not to mention that part, not yet. He just wanted to see if it was there.

It had been a long time since Abscis's initial encounters on planet Earth.

For months, the artificial being had laid low among the Earthlings, ambushing isolated members of the species, and gradually learning more about his new surroundings. Gradually, he had begun to adapt to the strange, alien customs of Earth. The strangest restriction was the ban on simply beating down people in the street. Back on Natto, duels of ki and flesh were taken in stride, but here they were apparently very, very bad. Abscis had put together this theory while fending off several blue-suited humanoids, a couple of which even gave him a decent fight! But, as like all things, they fell quickly.

However, his rampant consumption of the humans seemed to have an unforeseen side effect that Abscis had never anticipated. He could feel his hunter's psyche shifting, changing, becoming focused on other things. Hopefully, it would assist him in his power-gathering efforts.

That day however, Abscis was not pondering such philosophical questions, but instead simply traveling. Unlike most of the powerful fighters hopping around on this planet, the bio-android did not have the ability to fly and instead had to run from place to place. The last month or so had seen him frequenting East City and the surrounding area, but after yet another altercation with the blue men, Abscis figured it was time to move on.

He had been running at top speed for almost an hour when he sensed it. Two power levels far above the human norm, both exceeding his by a significant margin. Curious, the bio-android banked left and would blur to a halt a few meters to the right of the female. Abscis would watch as the female powered up to her maximum, then would approach the pair, "You strong." The bio-terror would say flatly in a serious tone, "How?"
