To say Komatsu was still furious was an understatement, though having spent some time with Kohlrabi had helped to calm his nerves some. He had been pacing about the inside of the Redemption trying to think of just what it was he should do at this point... He wanted to go back to the lookout and check on Jie Shan for starters. While he hadn't completely forgiven the man, he had gone toe to toe with Jarvis and lost, however on the same token Chris and Flare would most likely be there. If that was the case then he'd be sure to drive his fist through Chris' head this time and he'd no doubt let Flare have it too if she was standing. So that took that option off of the list...
If he could use telepathy he might have tried to get in contact with his mother, or Mayuri in hopes of finding out if Nasu had made it to the after life in one piece... he didn't know if the way you died had any effect on your soul in the after-life, and he truly hoped it didn't. Nasu didn't deserve any of what had happened... no matter what Nasu was still his brother and he'd never meant for things to get so out of control but Nasu really didn' give him much of a choice in the matter.
Komatsu couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh as he stepped out of the Redemption and into the bamboo forest. He looked around the immediate area before bringing his hand up to the scouter perched on the side of his head before remembering he hadn't seen Hotato with one.
"Well... that's inconvenient... hopefully he comes back soon, we should be headed back to Namek soon. I could really use another sparring partner in the gravity chamber too to vent a bit..." He murmured to himself, rubbing the back of his neck uncertainly as he just stood there waiting for Hotato to come back to the ship so that they could get started on their journey home.
WC: 348 > Using Gravity chamber as flavor since it won't affect either or us > Using Allied Edifice [The Redemption] 25% PL gains for both of us.
Finally arriving at the landing site of his and his cousin's motherships, Hotato was almost recovered from his last achievment and was slower than normal - "Just a few more times utilizing the Quake and I can call it a technique. The power increase is impressive, but with quiet the downside my body is still adapting to the stress input. Maybe later I can make it just like the super saiyan power"
Desending near his nameless ship, the teenager noticed Komatsu standing just outside his own - "Damn, is he waiting for me? Well, I told him I would meet him here...but I thought he would settle his business with the 'hero' first" - the hybrid landed and started walking towards the Alliance leader. Legs giving a little trouble to move, thought - "Tch! C'mon, I had plenty of time to recover already!". In the middle of his path, his right leg suffered from cramps and Hotato, impatient, pulled it by force. The result was a painful shock through his whole body that made him shut his face and cry a little - "What...the hell...was this...?"
Finally giving up, he used a little of his healing technique to restore the stress and arrived near his cousin.
- Sorry for the delay. I got to the place where Jarvis was and took some time to double check if anyone was left behind. I can say with ninety nice percent sure, that there's no one alive there anymore. Also... - he lift his eyes, looking at the sky, and put a hand on his neck, moving it a little to the right. A 'snap' sound can be heard coming from it - I also blown some steam and stressed my body more than I should - looking back at Komatsu - I'm alright now, better actually...and you?
The question was actually rhetorical. Hotato had a pretty good idea of how his cousin was feeling. Hell! He himself had just remembered a surpressed memory of him with his dead mother in his arms. Of course, even the might super saiyan 4 was in bad shape. And unfortunatelly for the boy, even if he could instantly heal physical injuries, emotinal trauma...there was no other way to recover besides time and nourishment - "I really hope I read Toru well. If so, he will probably help with this"

As Komatsu seemed to be massaging his own neck he could feel Hotato's energy approaching. He would let his hand slide down as he shifted to look towards where his cousin was coming in for a landing, honestly his cousin looked absolutely exhausted... it was written all over his face and when he landed, it was obvious he was having trouble just walking. Komatsu would internally sigh at that as he quickly realized that sparring with Hotato now would only get the young man hurt. It probably would be best to just suck it up until they got to Namek after all.
What made Komatsu feel worse, was that the first words out of Hotato's mouth was an apology. Honestly... How could someone raised by Koko be so gentle and kind. Koma had a lot to look up too in his younger cousin honestly... seemed everyone else had the traits Komatsu wished he had.
"Well, even if there had been survivors I doubt they would have lasted very long... Jarvis has a way of screwing you over even if you do survive an encounter with him. I can still sense Jie at least, so we know he's alive." He stated as he crossed his arms, moving his head away from Hotato for a moment as he glanced towards the lookout. He was still mad at the Earth's new Kami for what he had failed to do... but he had to respect him at the same time for going toe to toe with Jarvis... When Hotato stated he'd gone and blown off some steam Koma let the faintest of chuckles escape him lips.
"Yeah, you aren't the only one.... There's been power level spikes all over the planet, I can only assume a lot of the Earthlings are just as frustrated as we are. Look... I'm obviously not alright with any of what happened today. I... I killed my brother and there's no excuse for my actions. I'm pissed the hell off with a lot of people, including me and there's no real way to get rid of that... Honestly I just want to go home. You look like you could use the rest too." He noted, trying to keep a calm demeanor about him when all he wanted to do was scream at the top of his lungs for no reason. There was a lot he wanted to do just then... He wanted to go home, he wanted to find Karota and Miso, he wanted to train his heart out just to get this frustration out, he wanted to talk to the Sorcerer who'd given him that power... Such a long list that would no doubt get the older saiyan in a lot of trouble sooner rather than later.
Hotato would put his hands on his waist and hang his head a little to the side while listenning to Komatsu - "He looks mad talking about Jie Shan, hum...but why I feel he also worries?" - the teenager shook his head a little - "Meh, I may be wrong on this, better not to comment"
The teenager would also notice the shy chuckle made by his cousin - "Glad I can be of amusement to you" - thought Hotato making a less than happy face.
- About Jarvis, or Caesar...everything I heard about him was only half of it. I mean, I kinda respected his overthroning of planet Vegeta, but also hated him for what he had done to our people - says the hybrid saiyan with anger - While in the prison I heard the other saiyans telling of how strong he was, as much as how cruel and egotistical - his tone gets more acid - But to actually see him call himself a GOD! Pft! I just had to see to believe - he crosses his arms in front of him - I mean. He didn't even went after the big stage! He stood right where he was, playing with those weaker. So, that's a GOD? A funky god, that's what he is! Hunf! - he finishes saying, fire came out of his nostrils for a split second leaving only a two thin strings of white smoke in their place.
He wasn't lying. To him, Jarvis showed himself as a scared puny person that talked a lot but didn't actually had the courage to stand up to the those on his level. He wondered for a moment, what would've happened if all present at near the Tree went for the so called God? For all he knew, all of those present had some sort of hatred towards him, so why they choose to fight each other instead of getting rid of the blue-pink haired clown? - "It just don't make sense...besides, the if the Tree was the problem, why not focus their efforts on sneaking up on it like Blizzer did?"
The questions disappeared from the hybrid's mind when he remembered his cousin was right there - "Yeah, just like I thought. Kinda funny how I'm able to notice this kinds of things now. Before I would only look for weak spots or sploitable mistakes my targets would make. Blizzer must have something to do with this change of habits, all that training to learn healing was probably so I could learn to see more about people...he is a good doctor so I guess profiling is part of the job...wait, what did he said?!"
- Who're calling tired? - would Hotato ask quiet aggressivelly to his cousin - I was just avoiding using my healing techs. I'm one hundred percent fully recovered now, better even! Look!
Saying that, the energy of the super saiyan hybrid started rising, fast. It would go beyond the normal threshold for the super saiyan power, but not quite making to the second level. Although lightining sparks of a dense blue color would flash from time to time around Hotato's pink glowing body. This time, he could contain the energy discharge to go up instead of leveling the entire area, and so both ships were unharmed even if they were shaking like the ground.
- S-se...? Grrr...I found a...way to...get even stronger...ugh! - rushing a hand to his face, the half-breed clench his fingers around it while also clenching his other hand into a fist - Arrr...still...working on...keeping calm - and releasing the new technique, the teen looked like got lighter - Uff...there's work to be done but, I can do it. I will master it just like I did with the super saiyan power - said him confident - So I probably not on your level, but don't you go treating me like a kid, ok? I got to live all by myself for eight years in a deserted planet, I can handle pain and stress.

"Jarvis is a special kind of idiot. He's no god, no matter what kind of wish he's made to say otherwise. He'd just another moron with power on the brains. It's like anyone who gets strong enough wants to call themselves a god. It's annoying." Komatsu himself huffed, though without the flames exiting his nostrils. He actually found that part pretty amusing about Hotato but didn't say anything about it. He wasn't sure if being a hybrid was a sore spot for him or not... from his experience a lot of saiyan hybrids resented one side of their gene pool or the other. He really didn't care about people pure of half bred in the end, and held a lot more respect for half breeds who chose to follow the saiyan way.
Regardless, it did look like he had hit a sore spot as Hotato would suddenly speak up aggressively when he mentioned that Hotato could use some rest. He raised an eyebrow at that, not having meant anything by it and was about to protest until HOtato turned himself into a Super Saiyan, pushing his powers up and up until he found himself on the threshold of turning into a Super Saiyan two. He grinned at that as he brought his hands up in a slight shrug, shaking his head.
"Alright alright you aren't tired, sorry for trying to look out for my little cousin! If you're really alright then why don't you and me blow off some steam? I'm sure you can get more off your chest when hitting someone who can actually take it." Komatsu suggested with a smirk on his face as his hair began to spike up and turn gold as he activated his own base Super Saiyan transformation, keeping his power level just around the same as Hotato's so he didn't completely over power him.
"What do you say then, Hotato? Wanna have a spar before going home?" Komatsu wouldn't mind sparring on Earth now for the sole fact that if they did cause some form of damage, he honestly didn't give a shit. He would avoid blowing up the planet of course, but that wasn't to say he wouldn't leave a few good dents in it.
The aura around Hotato got brighter and more intense when Komatsu asked him to be his spar partner. HIM!
- HELL YEAH, I WANT TO SPAR!!! - shouted the teenager, eager for the chance to train with one of the most powerful in the universe. For quiet some time he had only sparred with Blizzer, who though he wasn't weak but couldn't reach half of Hotato's full power. His battles for real also ended up quiet the mess, he getting over-excited and commiting stupid mistakes - "Not this time! I'm can't let this chance pass me by! I'm going to use this chance to evolve as much as I can!!!"
Hotato kneeled for a moment just before taking a huge leap into the sky, sending strong bursts of wind everywhere. When he thought to be high enough, the half-saiyan burst his aura even more, as if calling his cousin - "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!!! I already feel more power boiling inside me and ready to come out!"
- HURRY UP HERE KOMATSU!!! TIME IS PASSING!!!! - shouted Hotato. Up there in the sky, a spar between the super saiyans, even if Komatsu was to hold his power down, would do less harm to the planet, and to their ships, than fighting in land.
Why such care? Maybe it's because he had told the earthling, Holly, he would help Earth. Maybe because he didn't want Blizzer to scold him for harm the planet even more it already is. Or he is just sick of harming planets. He "was" a soldier from the Saiyan Empire, unwillingly, but he did help destroy and conquer some planets...three of them all by himself. Afterall, at some point of his life, he lived with his parents, and despite Koko not giving a care about it, his father Pyrian was an elemi slave and thaught him about his own life before he met the young hybrid's mother.
Probably, it was all those things above that made him do want to protect the planet. Does that means he have a good heart? Who knows...the only thing he wanted right now is to fight andget stronger...and also, feel like he belonged somewhere.

Komatsu looked at Hotato with an almost surprised expression when his cousin shouted at him the fact that he did want to spar. Honestly as exhausted as he felt about battle it was a miracle everyone else didn't feel the same way as he did, though honestly the prospect of an actual spar did excite him. This wasn't going to be a life or death battle which was going to be a nice change of pace, and while HOtato wasn't on his level he wasn't going to be a pushover either.
"Heh heh, didn't think you'd be so eager to fight me" He stated honestly, rising up in a much less flashy way that Hotato into the sky as the younger saiyan yelled at him to hurry up. He couldn't help but smirk and even chuckle at the way Hotato was anxiously waiting to fight him. It was different and a lot different than what he was used too! Maybe he could relax a little bit as he fought Hotato, though he hoped he didn't let himself slip up because this wasn't a life or death battle...
As soon as Komatsu reached the same altitude as Hotato he slipped into the Soy school fighting stance, but then it was almost as if his body started to move on it's own, changing from the Soy school to a stance all his own, one that would protect his body in a more defensive style. One hand would come up in fromt of his face while the other up to guard his abdomen with a sturdy stance of his legs.
'hunh...' Komatsu thought to himself in mild confusion. This stance... it felt so natural though he'd never used it before... He felt a memory in his mind of a strange otherworldly power... one that he couldn't pinpoint though it was comforting. He focused on that power and an idea suddenly sprang to mind...
"Let's get started then shall we? I hope you don't mind I test something out! So come on and hit me with everything you've got!" Komatsu shouted back over towards Hotato, his golden ki exploding around himself as he focused on that strange mystical power he felt inside of him. He could feel his muscles and body tighten as he readied to defend himself, focusing that ki more on defense than offense as he held his guard up, waiting for Hotato to come at him.
'What is this energy... I've never used it before but it feels so familiar to me... I guess there's nothing to do but use it! Come on then, let's see what I can really do~' He egged himself on as his power level would feel like it suddenly decreased to Hotato, though his defense and his speed would sharply increase, as he would soon find out.
WC: 471 Learning [BG] [PT-1] Enhanced Defence (Speed Bulking) [-x3/+x3]: Raises the user’s defense and speed while dramatically lowering his offense.
Komatsu followed him into the sky, flaring his own golden aura and asking the teenager to attack. He seemed ready. Just as was Hotato, and though he was happy and acting like a fool with the trainning session, he soon focused his mind in showing to his cousin his own skills - "Alright, let's start by turning off the power up and save it for a crucial moment. My focus should be stress my body to the limit so I can bring out all the potential I still have inside"
Hotato would then also take his stance, that was pretty similar to the one of the Vegetan Fighting Academy but instead of horizontal, the left arm was in a vertical position ahead of his face, the right hand was stationed close to his right flank, hovering his chest, and his right leg wasn't turned to the side but also vertical like his left arm. Overall, seemed like a full offensive stance and that the hybrid was ready to charge. But Hotato discovered that the stance gives a lot of maneuverability, being ideal to fast users like himself.
"Humm...I thought he would be using the Soy School style like uncle Miso and most of the saiyans from the Alliance. Well, he did tell he would be trying something new. It seems very sturdy too...but not a lot of offensivity. I can exploit that" - the boy takes a moment to analyse the situation and decide his strategy - "Though I think I saw this before, I can't remember where. Wee, if it's new then I can't do much before checking it out. For now let's see how he reacts to an more, heh, aggressive offensive"
- You asked for it - said Hotato with a smile, answering his cousin challenge - Here, I...GO!!!
When charging, the stance closes and the hybrid seems to have become smaller. The speed of the charge is also really fast, creating a sonic boom at i'st very start. When getting close, Hotato bends his body back and let his legs slide foward, folding both of them and then pushing the right leg ahead. The kick takes the semblance of a comet - "Rapid Aggression. Mother liked to punish me with these back in my childhood. Hehe...I will tell him this later"

'I nearly forgot he was with the Saiyan Empire...' Komatsu noted to himself as he watched the saiyan power down then place himself into a stance he had seen many times in the arena of planet Vegeta. The Vegetean Academy was something he memorized but never bothered to learn... it was after all the style of his most hated enemies at the time. He left a light huff escape his lips as he watched his cousin use it, modifying it ever so slightly to accomodate his own style which was quite interesting to see.
Though it looked like Komatsu was catching him off guard as well and that made the Super Saiyan smirk as he stayed firmly planted in his airborne spot. Whenever Hotato came charging in he tensed up, channeling all of his strength into his defense and bringing both arms to his side to block Hotato's powerful kick. It was odd... there was something strangely satisfying about the sheer power behind that kick, and even more satisfying to block it. He was shifted back a short distance though had quickly grabbed onto Hotato's ankle so as to not move too far away from him. This was a feeling the young saiyan never got to enjoy before as all of his previous battles had always been life or death... This was the first time he felt his saiyan blood truly rile up at a fair challenge... was this the feeling he was missing out on the whole time!?
His adrenaline was pumping and Komatsu reacted quickly after Hotato's kick. He would shift his arm to grip HOtato's ankle, then attempt to use sheer force to spin around and launch Hotato towards the ground, away from their ships. He quickly found out the draw back to increasing his defense so much... even though he was already suppressing his powers, he could feel his physical strength had gone further down than he thought and therefore his swing wouldn't do exactly what it was he wanted...
'I need to find a way to counter balance this... the defense on this technique is fantastic but it drops my offense like crazy... I don't need to be a god damned punching bag... let's see... maybe if I manipulate this energy into the Atomic Strike I can combine my physical strength... yeah...' The image of a large golden dragon danced in the saiyan's mind as he braced himself once more in this unfamiliar stance, waiting for Hotato to recover from the toss and come back at him with everything he could.
"YES! It connected! Now for the follow uuuup...what the...?"
The attack landed, and Hotato was ready to follow up with a spinning kick when he noticed he couldn't retract the leg he first kicked. The kick landed alright, but landed in a sturdy defense and Komatsu had shown such a fast reaction speed that before the hybrid could even take notice he was being thrown down to the ground. He could've attempted to stop mid air and got back to another round, but instead he embraced the situation and started to spin. Shifting the momentum to his advantage and as he was just about to hit the forest, he managed to change directions up and as he gained back some altitude he spinned again and shifted his direction towards his sparring partner.
"As I thought, my attack was innefective but so was his. That stance is defense effective, I will need to get tricky...how was that technique father used to use?"
Again assuming his fighting style stance, the teenager hybrid crossed the distance between himself and his cousin. This time though, there was no signs of attempts to launch an attack! It seemed as if the young fighter was trying to ram down his target with his entire body, but...the stance is heavily unguarded, it seemed, and "was", too fragile for a body slam as it priorized the speed. And the hybrid counted with this weird action to confuse Komatsu, leaving him weary of him just enough to buy one mili-second longer.
"Reach him first. I think he will let me do it again, it seemed as he is still trying to figure out this new fighting style of his. As soon as I get near, my right hand comes foward...and then the surprise"
At the right distance, Hotato's would do just as he planned and his right fist was gonna be launched at Komatsu. The weird thing was, there wasn't any strenght to it, it should've been strenghtened by the charging speed. So why wasn't? Well, for starters, it wasn't a fist but and open hand, with fingers stacked and strecthed forward, that was about to touch the Alliance leader. The teen would smile:
- Shouldn't let me get this close...
And the fist would burst in flames, shaping as many small leafs exploding from Hotato's fist. Those are sharp and capable to pierce and burn flesh as any other material - "How'd ya like father's unblockable special? He called it Bursting Flame Lotus...humm, it's weaker than the original, thought. Well, I adapted it for myself so I'm changing the name...Galick Splash...? Flame Bite...? I know! Lucora Razors"

Definitely not as effective as he had hoped. While Hotato didn't stop mid flight he just ended up using his toss as a way to power himself up, bounding off of the planet and flying right back towards Komatsu himself. He fully expected to find a ki blast charging up in one of his fists but there was none... no raised fist, no movement of his leg... nothing. Hotato was just going to headbutt him? That wasn't really a smart move considering he'd just shown how strong his defense was compared to his...
He shifted his stance ever so slightly to accommodate the incoming headbutt though didn't move beyond that to dodge him or strike back. He wanted to continue testing just how much he could take with this new energy and this new stance of his. He braced himself for the impact of the attack, but at the very last moment Hotato's open palm came up and Komatsu almost laughed as it looked like Hotato was just going to try and slap him. However his hand suddenly ignited into flames and Komatsu cursed himself. Hotato was a lot smarter than he had just given him credit for. He knew Koma was going to let him in and he took advantage of that.
Fire petals began to rain down on the older saiyan who instantly broke his guard, cursing audibly as it burned into his arms and pierced his flesh. He would push himself backwards through the air to escape the rain of fire that had already done quite a number on both his arms as well as parts of his face. There were burn marks on several spots and the only reason Koma wasn't complaining about the pain was that he had spent a year training with Flare, and before that he'd been tortured by fire so much in the Empire's prisons.
"Smart move Hotato. Damn I should have been ready for that. Alright, enough standing around then! Let's switch this up!" He stated eagerly, both of his fists and feet beginning to glow with crimson energy as he charged his Atomic Strike.
'The Atomic breaker won't work against Hotato... At least I don't think it would. The impact might still push him but an explosion against a fire elemi, even just a half bred one isn't a good strategy... A straight up strike though won't be very effective either... Focus on this new energy..." He thought to himself, closing his eyes for just a brief moment as he focused on that golden energy swirling inside of him. Again the image of a Dragon pushed itself to the forefront of his mind, and as he felt that Dragon roar Komatsu opened his eyes once more and charged against Hotato. The power he was putting into his fists was massive, but what Hotato couldn't sense was the sheer force his fist would add to this strike at the very last minute... kind of like what he had done moment's before.

The new technique was a success! Hotato had gotten the lead for in the spar and that made him very happy, specially against someone like Komatsu, who surely have more combat experience than him. The young hybrid's smile, shy at first, would increase and even show his teeth - "HA! That 'left' a mark. Hehe, hope he doesn't get too angry with me. Now..." - he was starting to get some distance in order to avoid counter-attacks - "...how will you answer, cousin?"
As soon as Hotato was finished his thought his cousin got into a obviously offensive stance, and, although the half-saiyan understood he was going to be hit with a strong technique he couldn't identify what kind of attack it would be. So he did what the only thing he could and braced to impact, putting both hands forward, one ahead of his mouth and the other from his chest, while he moved his upper body as far back as he could. As his fighting style was based on fast movements, it's defensive stance was for shrug off as many of the incoming impact as it could before hitting his body.
"Given the choice I wanted to just run but..." - and Komatsu charged - "...I'm too tired for it"
The attack was a punch, a glowing red danger alert punch. And so, just as it was about to hit one hand, Hotato moved the other and stacked them both together. The impact was colossal, easily pushing through the defense and reaching the teenager, pushing him even more when a energy wave blasted from it and launched the saiyan away. While he was flying away, Hotato was trying to think in what happened - "Damn! I can barely hold to my senses...my hands are paralyzed, I'm bleeding, for sure one or more ribs are broken and I have to stop moving backwards!!!" - and so, recovering his breath, he stopped, quite a distance away from his sparring partner. Without looking away from Koma, he took this moment to check his injuries - "Breath is heavy, probably duo to the shattered ribs. I coughed blood and am still bleeding from places where my veins popped. That was some pressure...well, time for a reset"
- Hey Koma! Nice comeback, but I'm afraid I won't fall that easily. Want to knock me out, best to do it in one shot. You see, I didn't learn healing for true battles or to help others - Hotato's aura flared again but then it became more shiny and then his injuries would disappear - It was so I could keep training for longer periods of time - true that his body was in perfect shape again, but the technique wasn't without it's flaws. It took quiet all his left stamina to heal himself, nothing that a little rest wouldn't help with, he would just have to take it easy with the energy empowered attacks.
"Maybe now would be time to use the power up again...nah. I need to await for a slip of his, and then I get his ass" - again he would smile - "Another round" - and charge against Komatsu. This time he was focusing only in high speed punches, always moving as to help avoid retaliation - "Wasn't this heavy armor I could go even faster, but this is training, so I need to challenge myself"

Komatsu watched as Hotato shifted to a defensive stance mid charge, but it did little against Komatsu's fierce strike. As his fist first connected with Hotato it carried the hit of his regular punch, but by infusing his technique into the raw power of his body he felt a secondary charge of power leave his fist in the form of his Atomic Strike. It hit Hotato with a powerful impact, the energy soon exploding and causing both he and Hotato to soar away from one another. Hotato however was in far worse condition than Komatsu was and the older saiyan wondered if maybe he had overdone it... He had been so focused on channeling this strange energy he could sense inside him, so focused on the thrill of an actual sparring match that maybe he'd let himself slip and used too much power.
However Hotato seemed to be okay as he stopped himself mid flight, his cuts and injuries instantly healing up with a flare of his energy. This cause Komatsu to give an inward sigh of relief, glad to see he hadn't severely hurt his cousin... although with Hotato's continued taunts Komatsu couldn't help but give out a laugh as a smirk spread over his face and he situated himself back into the offensive fighting style he had been developing. His own aura flared up around him, healing the damage Hotato had caused to his arms and back not too long ago.
"Looks like that line of thinking runs in the family. A useful trick to have when you're the Empire's prisoner." He noted with the same cocky smirk on his lips as he displayed his own ability to heal himself. This wasn't a technique many saiyans possessed, and honestly he had thought that only he and Isis were able to do it of those who were left (at least until Hotato had healed him after his earlier fight with Nasu). It was an honestly nice change to see a saiyan being smart about the techniques they learned and not just using over powered ki blasts.
"Well, let's see how far we can take our healing abilities then shall we?" He suggested, darting forward once more and engaging Hotato into a rapid series of punches and kicks, dodging and countering any HOtato would throw back at him.
The first round was a clean show of offense versus deffense. If one was to compare, Hotato was a fast and agile fighting jet while Komatsu was a almost impenetrable fortress packing a super cannon. The round ended with Komatsu leading the points but soon the second round started and seemed that both saiyans choose the same strategy this time: attack!
Completely focused on their clash, Hotato's mind was only working into sending punches while noticing and dodging his cousin's attacks. It was a rather tiresome action but, for some reason, the teenager was feeling more happy and energetic than he normally would... - "...low...high...high again..." - this were his only thoughts, nothing more. Such 'purity' in a fight, it remembered him of an earlier period of his life...a time where he didn't have to care for anything but to fight, gettin stronger and stronger and fighting even stronger opponents. For all the hell the Vegetean Academy was, it was one of his most joyful times. For an instant the image of someone overlapped Komatsu in the hybrid's view:
- S-Sarad-... - he was going to say something when another punch went into view and he barely dodged it, but not without leaving a scratch on his face - SHIT!!!
In an attempt to break away from the Alliance leader, the half-breed throws a uppercut kick and backflips away to get some distance. Not knowing for how long the break will last, he takes deep breathes and wonder what happen'd - "It was nice and easy until that moment...when I saw that...but why?" - but he dared not to keep wondering as that almost cost him the victory - "Tch! Questions for later, now is back to figure how to beat my cousin. Heh...hehe"
- Hehe...hehehehe - he would start laughing seemingly without reason - Sorry, I just figured something out about our race, saiyans I mean - and assuming fighting stance again - Where were we?

Of course it wasn't like Komatsu hadn't been in plenty of fights lately, but as he dodged and deflected Hotato's attacks he felt very different. He could feel his blood boiling as the adrenaline course through him, exciting him more and more with every punch. Most saiyans looked forward to a fight with a stronger opponent so that they could really push themselves to the limit and even beyond that. For Komatsu it was different, he was excited at the idea of a fair match... a match where your life wasn't on the line, where you could just beat each other senseless and then laugh about it later. Even though he was suppressing his powers for now he was having an incredible amount of fun.
'I almost forgot what this felt like... The last time I had so much fun was when... urg... Jarvis. Back then he wasn't nearly as insane. I considered him a rival... he really was just like me...' He thought to himself just as Hotato mentioned someone named Sarad. It seemed both fighters had been caught off guard then, Komatsu's fist knocking the side of Hotato's face, and the hybrid retaliating with an upper cut kick that Komatsu just barely managed to leap away from before it made contact. Now that the two saiyans had created some distance, Komatsu took a moment to wipe the back of his palm across his forehead as he was breathing a little bit heavily already, not used to holding his power back in a fight which was taking quite the toll on him.
"Who's Sarad?" He asked though chose to brace himself into his new, more defensive fighting stance. He would change his tactic up a little bit, hcosing to let Hotato get in close and keep the fight at close quarters so he could practice this new form of his more. When Hotato stated he figured out something about their race though KOmatsu would raise an eyebrow at that.
"Yeah? And whats that?" He wondered curiously, there wasn't exactly a great mystery around the saiyan race was there?
