With everything that has been going on lately, with all of the powerful warriors that he'd witnessed, and forced to fight he was faced with several hard truths. The first was that he was objectively growing stronger, and quickly from these conflicts. However all of these conflicts have resulted in him scraping by, barely able to walk away from them. In some cases needing to even be rescued. While he was growing stronger, it wasn't enough.
It was this that finally pushed him to signing up for the tournament. He didn't expect to win it, he was still training to be a proper warrior. But he was hoping that training for it, by pitting himself against the best warriors on the planet that he would be able to learn something. Because it was becoming quite clear that there were threats to his home out there, people that actively wished them harm. And there were beings with abilities that he could barely comprehend. If he was going to serve his home he needed to do everything he could to get stronger, and as fast as he could.
As the tournament date approached the training rooms that were built underground were getting harder and harder to come by as fighters signed up to take them at an increasing rate. Limax himself was fortunate enough to get the last one that was open. A normal gravity room set in a flat plain. One of the most basic of rooms they had, but it would do. He accepted the key from the Android at the reception desk with a small bow of his head, still unsure on how he was supposed to respond to them, like a person or like a machine.

Rhona hovered quickly to the desk and reached the desk just as a native was leaving. "Hi! I wanted to try out one of these rooms I was told about... Oh you are out again?"
Once again Rhona was a bit late and thought about going back outside but the heat was really getting to her skin and she tanned hard core. She liked her training spot out in the Namekian wild however because of the harsh suns on this planet she really wanted to catch a break. The past couple of days she'd try here and ask if a room was open she heard about them through the other Tournament goers. It would be nice but luck was seemingly agains.
"Alright alright, maybe I will try again tomorrow and come even earlier." She yawned it was pretty early in the day for her and just waking up was slow going unless she got a good work out started.

He paused when he heard a Human ask for one of the rooms. The last key being in his own hands now. He pressed his lips together as he considered his options for a moment before deciding. Turning toward the desk and the female he'd raise a hand to get her attention.
"I will share mine if you'd like."
It was not a fancy training room like the high gravity ones. Or the exotic location ones. But it was serviceable, and in the end that was all he needed.

Rhona perked up shocked at the tall green Namekian speaking to her she almost did not believe it and thought she might still be dreaming. But there it happened as bright as day... better yet as bright as a day on Namek. She left the desk and turned to him, bo bouncing against her back and blonde hair tight in a pony tail. she wore a work-out pair of dark blue Gi, the shirt was tied around her waist as she wore a more comfortable black tank.
"If you really are okay with it, being in the tournament might make us competition. In my mind it would be foolish to turn down your generosity." She grinned. "Thanks, My name is Rhona, Rhona Hall." She stuck out her hand offering a shake.
Anything was better than nothing. But maybe this will make things more interesting. Tournament aside she might have a partner today and it will elevate the experience even more. Way better than swinging at the wind and the dirt, trying to imaging what her opponents might do.

"It is possible that we will meet in the ring, that is true. But this is supposed to be an event to unify us and in my culture the group work together, even at the cost of the individual. Should this be the difference between my victory or defeat over you then I do not truly deserve to win."
Needless to say, he wasn't worried about it at all. He'd lead her underground to the training chambers that were far more Human looking than Namekian. Taking her hand when offered with her introduction he would shake it before granting her a small bow.
"I am Limax. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
When the room was opened up it would appear that they were in a fairly nondescript field. Two 'suns' burning overhead and no breeze or any real distractions from the training that they would be doing. Ideal in it's own way.
"Did you prefer to practice on your own? Or together?"
He was comfortable either way, but thought he would allow his guest to decide out of courtesy.

Rhona was touched by his words admiring the warrior wisdom he shared with her. She always admired the warrior spirit first and foremost with in a person no matter what. She aspired to grow into that level one day, she felt it would be a long road before she'd get there though.
"Feeling is mutual, Limax." She'd see about the training room and it was more than she expected she thoguht it might be just an empty room as it felt that way but the scenery is that of the very planet they resided on. Seems like it is a lot bigger than it might actually be. Despite that it was pretty comfortable.
"I would not really say I have a preference, mostly I have trained alone... just the result of not having the option to train with someone willing to go at it together. Might as well not waste the space though, why not have a good spar?"

"I would be willing to spar you."
He said with a nod. He had the benefit of training alone, and with a group of fellow warriors. So if she lacked the opportunity to test her abilities against a real opponent who could think and maneuver, then it seemed that was the best that he could offer her. Not that it wouldn't also benefit him, he was hoping to increase his own abilities and knowledge by fighting these exotic warriors in the tournament.
This would serve the same purpose, and may even help to prepare him further for what the others may throw at him down the line. Striding deeper into the field he'd turn to face Rhona, spreading his legs shoulder width apart and bringing his arms up into a defensive position.
"Any ground rules or limitations that you would like to set?"

"well this is your training room... your house, your rules. I come packed up and ready for whatever. Still, you look like you specialize with hand-to-hand?" She assumed it, maybe since he did not bring a weapon or much except himself.
She'd unstrap her bo and take off her top gi and leave them by the door. She had on some thin fingerless gloves that were next on her list of adjustments after tightening her hair tie. She was nearly ready to go rolling her neck and shoulders to loosen up as much as she could.

"No killing. Otherwise fight like you would in the tournament."
He wanted to see what she could do, and that meant for the most part no holding back. He wanted to see what kind of style she chose, what kind of techniques she used, and how she was in a fight. He had spent his whole life watching Namekian Warriors in their way of life, but as he was quickly learning, the universe was so much bigger than his planet.
Once she seemed prepared and ready Limax would start the bout, he would start slow. Testing her guard to see how she reacted as he ducked low to send a sweeping kick for her legs. The intent was either to knock her off her footing, or to determine if she was more aggressive or defensive.

"Oh of course I would not Kiiil-yee!" Okay no "ready, set, go" count to start, or ding of the bells he was all in at the very start. She saw him coming it was obviously a test shot. With how she needed to see he was moving then react he gave her time. Just time enough for her to leap , legs pushed up and back. was not the fanciest dodge she could have done but it did the job.
"Hup!" This gave her seconds to go ahead and counter landing one foot where she now stood her other lifted high above them both and she'd bring it down like a jack hammer. Her hands close to her chest for instant access to block but who'd knows what Limax would pull out of his sleeves next. This was a new world for her and the only people she had ever fought before were her Father and his other students who were certainly not as dedicated and she might have been.
Wherever her foot would land it leave her either a good amount of time to recover her stance or he might be fast enough to see if she had some kind of opening. Her legs were good and strong but it would take time to get back up. She was hasty in a spur of the moment thought and she admitted there would be flaws in her technique.

She was quick on her feet, managing to avoid his blow as she set her guard back up. She was quick to retaliate as well, however hopping back as she did gave him just enough time to raise an arm up to grab her ankle. His arm would absorb most of the blow. But the force was still enough to send ripples of pain through his arm.
He'd attempt to squeeze her leg with as much force as he could. He'd not dream of killing her, but if they were going to fight like it was a tournament match he would do his best to treat it as such, digging his thick nails into her flesh as he squeezed. From what he knew of Humans they couldn't regrow limbs so taking one out of commission would incapacitate them until they got it treated.
So it stood to reason that limb incapacitation was the best tactic he could use.

Oh that hurt, yeah that hurt a lot. Her jaw clenched and her head rocked back before coming back, moving forward and unbent her knee. She'd use her weight instead of spiraling out of his grip in order to prevent further damage. She'd push her foot and body to him in order to bring a right arm slamming upside his head once maybe twice and kick off his chest hoping that caused him to stun and let go.
If he'd let go she'd twirl back to more of a firm stance, she depicted that he'd already recover and come back at her. If he still had a tight hold then she'd try to kick off his chest and spin out taking the worse off damage. His nails might cut deeper this way than the other still she'd feel the very prominent sting.
She did not like this move... oh no that was not what she expected to happen and she cursed herself for it. Something new for sure...

She was tougher than he had initially expected. She was a true warrior indeed, and he suspected that she would do well in the tournament. Not only was she able to keep herself composed while he exploited what he assumed was the Human weakness, she was able to turn it around. He did not expect her to possess the strength she needed to push him in that position, and committed to his strike as he was there was little defense other than moving his head back that he had against her strikes.
After the second strike his grip loosened allowing her to twirl back to a safer distance away from him. At least for the moment. Once he recovered from his stun he'd hop back to his feet from his formally prone position and give her a sharp toothed smile.
"You are quite skilled."
His compliment was in tandem with his movements as he shifted into a more defensive stance. He'd wait to draw her out this time, to see what she had up her sleeves.

Rhona cracked her neck and bounced on her foot to make sure it was not going to hinder her. "Yeow, And you got one Iron grip. Hadn't ever felt anything like it before!" Despite her initial angry reaction worked itself out she composed her cool and was smiling. The adrenaline was kicking in and she was growing quite excited.
relying on instinct was not always a clear path. She needed to plan her next moves quickly and effectively. Father's students would have never been so crafty. The seconds are counting and he was waiting.The next moves she'd try to play to the difference in height, these match ups normally evened out when she held her bow it stretched her range like another set of arms but this was just hand to hand and she had tricks up her sleeve still to come. Taking steps forward the barely 5 foot human held her arms up in a guard for her face. Her toes spread as she came with in range to brace and balance for the close proximity. Keeping one hand up and trading out each hand for a punch and a guard she'd swing left then swing right at the bottom of his ribs.
It was very forward and she'd try to be as fast as possible to get a good idea at how fast this guy really is.

She was quick on her feet he'd learned, and she was surprisingly strong. Now he got to learn that she was also smart. By aiming low like that she was making it harder for him to block with his height. Rather than trying to elevate herself, her move was to force him to act at her level where she'd have the advantage.
To counter this he'd attempt to bring his knee up with her fist as he slammed down with his elbow, hoping to hit the attacking limbs between both of his. Once more targeting what he believed to be the species weak point. The limbs.
But if she was quick enough to avoid his counter and slammed into his ribs anyways he'd stumble back after several blows to put some more distance between them.
