While his pride was still wounded his determination to better himself and continue pushing forward along his chosen path still burned brightly. It was clear that it would contain more obstacles for him than most, that there were many Namekian's that actively wanted him to fail. To string up as an example for their Caste system. That some where born greater than others, that we belong in our respective stations. That everyone had their place in the universe, and it did not behoove anyone to cast their sights above their station.
It was not a belief held by everyone, else the Elder would not have called for a bolstering of the Warrior Caste, but it was held by enough to make true upward mobility all but impossible. If the other Warriors would not help him to grow then he had but one choice. Help himself, or admit they were right and give in. But wounded as his pride was he couldn't give up yet, the fire within still burned far to bright for him to surrender.
So alone he would train, past when the others had retired for the day he continued to train in an empty expanse of Namek, far enough away from any settlement to not risk disturbing the farmers and laborers from doing their tasks.
He'd howl as his aura flared around him, his body filling to the brim with all of the power that he could hold before unleashing a powerful Ki blast at one of the plateaus nearby.

"Ugh, why did I come here . . ."
Wasabi moaned to himself, completely taken over by his own self pity. Crossing over another blue-green hill, civilization was still nowhere in site. He'd come to Namek with the hopes of discovering his true lineage. All his life on Earth, he'd been an outsider. While there was a range of diversity of the sentient races on Earth,Wasabi of course had to be a special case. People seemed to love to remind him, they'd never seen anything like him. Pale green skin, fangs, claws, and knife like ears. Many likened him to a demon, but he was just a person -- albeit a green person, but a person nonetheless. Another oddity was his strength, he was ridiculously stronger than anyone he knew, and had to try his hardest just to hold back his strength on the most mundane of tasks.
He had no idea where he came from; nobody did. The only clue he'd gotten was from a human who'd traveled through space, saying some of his aspects were similar to a Namekians. So he'd 'borrowed' the man's space pod and flew to Namek. Sadly his pod had been wrecked in the landing, and didn't look like it'd be working anytime soon.
So he'd set off, looking for . . . something -- anything! So far he hadn't found a city or establishment; hell, he couldn't even find a Namekian; the whole reason he came here. Wasabi continued his arduous trek, each 'new' landscape looking the exact same as the old one, his frustration building until 'BOOM' he exploded.
No, seriously, he exploded. Or at least the ground under his feet did, as he was sent hard on his back. Scrambling back to his feet, he looked down from the plateau he was standing on, spying a . . . green person?
'Holy shit I found a Namekian . . . Holy shit they're trying to kill me.'
Wasabi quickly formulated a plan, his genius intellect going into overdrive as he looked around for any advantage he could. Finally his eyes settled on something, and he grinned.
Wasabi suddenly vaulted over the large crater, the namekian had made, and was now in Limax's line of sight. "HEY! FUCK YOU!" He'd shout, before hurling a baseball sized stone at the Namekian's head. With his presence now known, Wasabi sprinted at the Namekian, aiming a blow for his gut. Limax, being the first person he'd seen, Wasabi held back considerably. This stranger was the only person he'd met for hours, and he definitely would need him later.

He hadn't known anyone was even around, he was supposed to be alone out here. So when a green figure jumped over the crater and began to swear at him, his eyes widened in surprise. At first glance he thought he'd almost hit an innocent Namekian. Though a second glance was enough to prove to him that he was not Namekian, in fact he didn't exactly know what he was. But Limax was now under attack by him!
Quickly he'd blast at the rock being thrown at him with a blast of Ki as the person hurtled at him with incredible speed. Barely able to bring an arm down to block the majority of the force of the blow to his stomach, he was however unable to fully stop it as the knee still forced it's way upward slamming into his torso.
He had planned to apologize for the mishap, however it seemed that this one did not desire peaceful discourse. He'd attempt to push himself back away from his aggressor in order to weigh his options. Ideally he'd subdue the attacker without needing to resort to lethal force.

Strike hard and fast. That was his mantra when it came to fighting. Bull rush tactics were his specialty, and the Namekian had seen right through it. Not only that, he'd managed to react and even defend against his complete surprise attack. Wasabi couldn't help but grin, this guy wasn't a pushover in the slightest. He was definitely stronger than any human he'd faced. As Wasabi's knee managed to force its way into Limax's torso, he'd aim a headbutt for Limax's face, aiming to momentarily stun and knock him away.
Despite the situation, he couldn't help but laugh. For the first time in forever, he was able to cut loose against an opponent, if even just for a little bit. Smile still present, Wasabi would raise his power level. "You're pretty tough, let's see just how much you can take."

The blow of the headbutt came stronger and faster than the knee. Was he holding back? Was he laughing!? What was even going on? He stumbled backward, gripping his face with one hand as he growled through clenched teeth.
"IS THIS A GAME TO YOU!?"
He shouted, feeling blood starting to boil. It was not enough that he was a joke to his peers, but apparently this was a game to this stranger? He was not something to be toyed with! He was a proud Namekian and he would become a warrior! He would earn his place in society!
His power would infuse his hands and with a whipping motion his arm extended and stretched out toward his attacker, razor sharp nails ready to rend into his flesh with his Holy Dragon Claws.

As the Namekian staggered back, Wasabi gave a 'bring it' gesture, with a grin. Thoroughly enjoying the start of the fight Wasabi was taken aback by the sudden rage of the Namekian. Was it something he said? He'd always had a penchant for finding people's buttons and slamming on them with as much force as possible. He took a moment to consider, what the Namekian had said. Was this a game to him? Wasabi mentally slapped himself; he'd come here in search of answers, and here he was holding back, for the possibility of a fun fight. Wasabi wasn't a mean guy, but he could be ruthless when he wanted something, and right now he wanted clues as to what the hell he was.
Limax's attack knocked him out of his thoughts, as the claws raked down his exposed chest. "W-What the hell . . ." Wasabi watched as Limax's elongated arms retracted, utterly in shock. Namekians could stretch their arms? Or was that something only this person could do? He shook away the questions, he'd have time for those later, after he interrogated this guy. But first he'd have to beat him.
"You're right. Maybe it is time to get serious."
Wasabi, let out a long breath as his aura poured out of him in waves, his power climbing higher and higher. "Do me a favor, and don't die okay?" And with that Wasabi was on him. Dashing forward he'd bring his arms above his head, before aiming to smash Limax into the ground. Current PL: 1508

If he was holding back before then Limax really was going to be in trouble. What a time to be right, this had been a game, but at least it seemed like the aggressor was done toying with him? If he was going to fall he'd rather fall with dignity. It was time to see just what this person had.
"I don't intend to."
The attacker rushed him again, proving that he was an aggressive fighter. His speed was even more impressive than before, almost overwhelmingly so. Limax just barely had enough time to jump backward to narrowly avoid the attack, thanks in large part to the nature and telegraphing of the attack. But with the aggressor's raw ability it was pretty clear that he didn't need to worry about such things, because it would only be a matter of time before he was overwhelmed. Limax would need to try and wear him down, cause him to make mistakes. And attempt to utilize range. Once more his arms whipped out to attempt to slash the fighter across the face, hoping to reduce his visibility.

"Good."
As Wasabi's arms came down, Limax jumped backwards to avoid his attack. Wasabi was mildly surprised the Namekian could keep up, albeit barely. He was preparing to rush in again, when Limax's arms extended yet again. This time, Wasabi knew what the Namekian was capable of. He waited until the arm was right in his face, before opening his mouth, a blast of Ki exploding outward violently [Iblis Roar PL: 1658]
Wasabi took a deep breath, his lungs visibly swellling up with air before releasing it. [Pazuzu's Blessing PL: 2111] Wasabi would shoot forward significantly faster than before, his right arm raised across his body, before whipping it down into a chop aimed for Limax's neck. Following up the attack and carrying the momentum of the previous strike, he'd aim a left hook for Limax's temple. Wasabi was trying his best to incapacitate the Namekian as swiftly and cleanly as possible, but he could already tell this one wouldn't go down without a fight.

The blast from the mouth was a surprise and committed to his attack as he was it was impossible to avoid it in time. The blast was powerful enough to rip through his stretched arm, blowing it off just below the elbow causing him to howl in pain as what remained of his arm retracted back to him.
Wasabi would surprise him again with yet another increase to his power and speed. Just how powerful was he? The chop to the neck was too quick for him to even block and Limax was sent flying away from Wasabi, though it seemed he was able to keep up with even that as he followed up with another blow to Limax's head, slamming him into the ground.
Blood was flowing freely from his missing limb with splatter along the path that his body had flown from the impact. With his remaining hand he'd attempt to push himself off of the ground, his arm wobbling from the strain before giving out. His breathing ragged, his eyes shifting quickly between his ruined arm to Wasabi and back to his arm.
This wasn't good.

This wasn't good.
Wasabi's eyes shifted quickly between Limax and his arm, the bleeding was intense, as Limax tried to struggle back to his feet. At this rate, Wasabi was sure the Namekian wasn't long for death if he didn't step in. Eyes wide he rushed to the side of the Namekian; in his panic he left himself completely open as he approached him.
"H-Holy shit, are you gonna be alright?"
He laid a gentle hand over the Namekian's back. He cursed silently under his breath; maybe he should have held back just a little. He had no doubt the Namekian would probably be suspicious of his motives. Going from ruthless attacker, to caring individual. "I know you don't trust me, but I just want to ask you some questions, and I can't do that if you're dead. So I need you to tell me where I can get you some help." Wasabi would ask, all the while leaving himself open to counterattack.

The creature was indeed unpredictable as his whole attitude shifted to one of concern. He couldn't get a read on him, especially as their was no need to lay a trap. He was clearly the stronger fighter. Truly this must just be a game to him. How disappointing, to be toyed around with like that was shameful. His only solace was that no one had seen his failure.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
He cried out in pain and effort a moment before a fully formed arm shot out of the stump that he had just a moment before. Blood was replaced by mucus and membrane. It was exhausting, but he'd live. And if necessary he'd still be able to fight. Until his last breath.
"I won't die that easy."
He forced himself up, doing his best to swat Wasabi away. He'd make it to his feet under his own power. To do anything less was to showcase how unworthy he truly was.

He gave a concerned look as Limax shouted out in what he first assumed was pure agony. Wasabi's eyes widened in shock as a new arm, identical to the first, shot out of Limax's stump. For a moment his voice wouldn't work, as he stared slack jawed in amazement. It took him a moment to recover, as Limax shooed him away. A small smile grew on Wasabi's lips as the determined Namekian pushed himself to his feet, driven by willpower alone. "You're amazing." Wasabi would say, meaning every word.
The smile would fall away, quickly replaced with grim resignation. "How bout' me make a deal, since I obviously seem to care about your life more than you do." He paused, thinking for a moment before continuing, "We'll finish the fight right now, in this final exchange. We give it everything we got, and we both walk away satisfied. But you have to answer my questions. Or, I don't even bother finishing you off. I can dishonor you right here, and walk away." It was a complete shot in the dark, but Wasabi was banking that the Namekian was being driven by pride. Either way, he'd do whatever it takes to get his answers.

The praise was unexpected, especially for something that was natural to him, and any other Namekian. He sometimes forgot how different various species were. Chalk it up to a lack of contact with anyone outside of his race other than humans. But even with that, the compliment was foreign and enough to make him drop his guard.
"I answer your questions or you don't kill me?"
That was a weird way to try and motivate him to do something. Especially because it was already clear who the stronger fighter was. This game that the other man was playing just continued to get weirder and weirder, and he clearly didn't understand the rules.

"Grah! I don't know! I'm tryna think of a way where we both win here!"Wasabi ran his hands through his hair in frustration. Clearly unsure of what to do. Finally after a moment of thinking, he let out a long breath, a small smile forming. "Alright, fine. Ya' got me." He shook his head in a defeated way, his arms raising up in a half shrug. "I'm gonna be completely selfish here. You're strong and I got a feeling you've got something else you haven't been showing me. I want you to come at me with your strongest attack and after that I want answers. You're gonna give me both, or I'll beat you up -- but ya know, worse." Seemingly content with his 'clever' idea, Wasabi grinned smugly, nodding his head, before sliding into his stance. "Don't keep me waiting for long."

Suddenly he felt like he had the upper hand in this exchange, despite being beaten and clearly outmatched. He felt like the other one was overplaying his hand by letting on just how much he wanted answers. Backing it up with threats spoke volumes as to his need for the answers, as well as the nature of his character. If he had simply asked Limax likely would have been more than happy to help any way that he could. After all, Namekian's in general were hospitable and considerate.
"So you expect me to give in because you threaten me?"
Despite his pain he found his posture straightening. Refusing to be browbeaten and intimidated. If he was to be defeated so be it. If he was to lose his life, then he would fight with the last of his strength. But to give in to threats would be cowardice.
