I've decided to start putting more time into filling Soraxus's story. Though it's still gonna focus on the main plot for a while.
Soraxus had just been knocked down by a heavy blow from Piccolo. He was becoming too confident in his quick progress, and that distracted him long enough for the namekian to find a whole in his offense. He sat up to see a somewhat exhausted Piccolo, just having used just as much energy as he did. They were even in strength alone, but Soraxus wasn't as experienced in heavy battle. That much was apparent.
When he stood up, Piccolo wasted no time in getting back on him and not giving an inch. When ever Soraxus tried to dodge and gain some space, he was dragged back in by elastic arms. He took a few smart ones to the face before he started to learn the rhythm of Piccolo's attacks. He always trikes the wholes in your guard while setting his own like a brick wall. All he had to do was set the bait.
After a minute or two, Soraxus could focus while under constant onslaught. He intentionally left a gaping whole near his lower right side. Piccolo gave a grunt which meant he was going for a blow that would spend most of his leftover power. Soraxus put his entire body into his next move. He grabbed onto the alien's leg and swung with the momentum. He lifted him over his head and slammed him into the icy ground, then drove him deeper with a jumping kick into Piccolo's mid section, before collapsing himself.
The two lay in the ice, battered and bruised, aching all over. The alien sighed and stood, limping on his left leg. He grunted his way to a nearby igloo and began to mend his cape, yes he was still wearing it, with some cloth from other capes he has burned out over the years in his adventures with the Z Warriors. Soraxus still hasn't gotten up from his spot on the ice. He had sensed a few energies from the city he left. They were headed off towards the east towards the Highlands. One of the energies he had a vague hatred for. He couldn't explain it but it was there.
As Soraxus lay there, in a weakened manor, a deep hazy feeling swept over his body. Suddenly, he didn't quite feel like himself. This has been happening a lot lately, since he met Leon. What was wrong with him? It felt like he was drifting off into another world, losing his body to something sinister.
In Other World, there was an investigation going on. There were ogres, including King Yemma, arguing over theories and other creatures looking through files and such. Apparently, there was an energy pulse coming from somewhere in Other World, and everyone was afraid that it might have a sort of undesired effect on the Living World. But there was something odd about it: the source of the energy couldn't be traced because it was hidden by an unknown barrier. If any one attempted to sense the source of the pulse, they would be mentally blown while a small explosion occurs in front of their face.
King Kai offered his service and got only so far in the 7 or so seconds he focused. He traced the signal to a remote place in HFIL. There was much of HFIL that was yet to be used in any way, so the culprit could be anywhere. For now, the people of Other World could only hope that the energy wasn't manipulating anything of significance.
"Kai-o-ken!"
Leon's body had begun to glow a deep shade of red. His hair raised slightly as his energy spiked but settled after the initial rush. His muscle mass had expanded noticeably, arms and legs bulking within his new armor. Earlier on, he had used magic materialization which he learned from Piccolo to spawn three sets of gear, very close in resemblance to the Yardats' armor.
Any who, the two known as Zuyoi and Nebarid were watching in awe as they felt the surge on their teacher's aura, before he powered down.
"This technique was made by one of the Kais, King Kai. This technique is so difficult, that he himself has yet to master it. The first to master this move was none other than Goku. He was a powerful saiyan that lived many years ago."
"That's incredible! How does it work?" began Nebarid.
"That's an excellent question. You have to be completely in tune with your body for it to work. Then you have to go deep inside yourself and bring it out. The actual purpose of the Kaioken is to multiply your base power level to new heights for a moment. It can also be brought up to higher levels such as x2 and x3. Maybe even beyond that. But be careful how you increase your power. You can potentially kill yourself."
The brother and sister duo listened intently, gasping at the possibility of overuse. Nebarid was really excited, you could even call it hyper. Zuyoi mostly kept her emotions in check, shying away slightly when you look at her.
"Alright. I want you two to get as strong as you can possibly get as fast as possible. So I'll be attacking you randomly. Be on your guard at all times and react as quickly as possib-Ha" Leon had already began with a horizontal swipe that hit both of his students.
Zuyoi hadn't stumbled too far and stood straight before she fell back. As for Nebarid, he was already behind his attacker with a few quick ones to Leon's lower back, who in turn, tumbled towards Zuyoi. She hesitated at first but took the initiative and knocked the master in his temple with her foot.
"Good job. But don't stop until I say so-"
Once more, he took off faster than the eye, coming from above and smashing the ground, making the siblings fly off in opposite directions. Zuyoi was first, trying to withdraw the moment Leon appeared in front of her. He grabbed her ankle and dragged her into the ground, hitting a double backflip, and firing a small ki beam at Nebarid. The boy crossed his arms as the beam exploded on impact. Zuyoi used the distraction to sneak up on Leon and drove her fist into Leon's stomach, at the same time, Nebarid came zooming in and knocked his legs out from under him.
Going with the flow of battle as always, Leon made a backflip and lunged forward with a roundhouse kick that sent Zuyoi flipping into her brother. "And that's the end of it. You guys did pretty good for your first try. Now get some rest, because tomorrow is when it gets real." Leon took to the air and left the siblings with each other and their thoughts.
Zuyoi climbed off her brother and sat down next to him, while he sat up. "I... I wanna go back." She said in a very timid voice.
"Why? I thought you wanted to be away from the other kids" spoke her brother.
"I do, but... I-I. He makes me nervous..."
"C'mon sis. Everything makes you nervous. You have to get out of that shell of yours."
"W-well I didn't ask to come here!" Her soft voice took a serious undertone as she turned her back to her brother.
Nebarid stepped over to his sibling and put his hand on her shoulder, but she shrugged him off. "Whatever, I was just trying to be nice. You never appreciate what I do for you." As a spur of the moment type of thing, Nebarid blasted off into the late afternoon sky.
