Once more Limax found himself in one of the training rooms, his recent defeat at the hands of Okara in the tournament fueling a fire within him. The burning desire to get stronger, to be able to protect the planet and everyone who lived on it. The fact was that no matter how far he'd come, it wasn't far enough by a long shot. He'd faced power overwhelming, power the likes he'd never seen before. And yet he survived. The Guardian said that the fate of Namek would be shifted by his choices.
He chose to be stronger.
So Limax continued to push himself, hands and knees moving in a flurry as his body shifted from one attack to the next. Practicing his forms so that the movements were second nature and reflexive. He didn't know the next time he'd have to use them in a battle so intense, but he didn't want to be unprepared.

Rhona was looking for an open training room... that was hard to do seemingly. She'd press her ear against the doors and she'd peak in a couple but the last few were certainly occupied. Then she peaked into another, recognizing the familiar Namekian up and about from his time in the Infirmary.
"Oi Limax? You all healed." She smiled. "What a relief, you looked rough." Rhona on the other hand had an incredibly dark bruise upon her eye and brow. The gash was scabby as well, but still much better off than it had been.

"I heal quick."
He would reply as he slowed down his movements to a stop, looking her over as well. She looked worse for wear compared to last time he'd seen her. And she'd already been out of the tournament by that point.
"What happened to your face?"

"Hm... Still the Wasabi battle, bruises get darker, before they get better in a couple of days it will be yellow and fade out in a week." She touched the area gently with her fingers.
It was not the only bruise she has on her body but it was certainly the most prominent one currently. Her legs are littered with slight bruising and the hair on her arms has yet to grow back from all the hot shots of Ki people like throwing around. She was pretty pale too so that never helps hiding wounds, even training outside as much as she did her skin never holds in a tan.
"I will regrettably admit the way I am training... It is not healing as well as it needs to."

"Oh..."
He wasn't used to being around people that didn't heal as quickly as he did. It was odd to see someone sporting injuries so long after a training session. Even if she didn't have the ability to regrow limbs, he had thought she would heal faster than that.
"Then why have you continued?"

Rhona kind of looked at him and scratched her head thinking about how to word the answer to that question. The ordeal might sound a bit strange especially since there were even some aspects to it that she did not understand. She even thought of the Jacket she wore that absorbed what Vo gave her. That was the big reason she trained while nursing these bumps and bruises. It was a heavy weight on her shoulders... for real. She has to master using it and pray it helps her development.
"I spoke to someone, he gave me some advice, and I have been preparing. The tournament was a good example to know where I stand, short jokes aside, but it is not very tall." She smiled and placed her hands on her hips standing as straight as possible. "I want to keep going, I don't have goals to achieve, and I don't have much to lose or tie me down. For the first time in my life I am not looking forward to the next competition, I am just looking forward. Not unlike most people here I wont let a little pain keep me down."

"I can respect that."
How could he fault her for pushing herself as hard as she could. It was what he was doing. The reason for it were not as important as the dedication was. They all had their own dreams and goals to strive toward, he couldn't reprehend her for doing what it took to reach hers.
"Is there anything I can do to assist you?"

"Well if you don't mind the intrusion, I was looking for a training room to use." She hopped light on her toes and made a pair of fists bringing them up for a boxing stance. "Do you want to see if you couple add a couple more bruises to my growing collection? She laughed at her own jest.
Limax was a round two tournament fighter, thought out of the match, she could feel that he had gotten much stronger since. There was a full list of strong people on this planet, she kind of understood why Okara was so shocked with his spike in strength. Rhona was not deterred from her friend because of this she'd looked up to him and took to his warrior spirit almost like she took her Fathers. There was inspiration and determination to be gained from.

"If that is what you wish, I won't hold back."
He slipped into his own fighting stance. Feet shoulder width apart and clawed hands outstretched ready to either strike and slash. Or defend as needed. He wouldn't hold back, that was true. But he also wouldn't go all out. Not unless she pushed him to it, because while her spirit was admirable, he had no desire to further injure her more than needed. And with the fragility of humanity that he was discovering, his fighting style alone was dangerous for her.
He had to remember to be mindful of that.

"Here we go!" She bounced in head on she'd try to get as close as possible and upper cut right through Limax's middle. If it landed it might land square in his solar plexus.
However she felt this was going to be a but too easy knowing Limax's style. If he caught her arm she'd try and come around with a knee ramming the side of his ribs. She was a bit slow and she noticed this from training before. She was still getting used to her weighted jacket, while this is what she needed it will for sure put her at a disadvantage. She was prepared for it and would accept it as a paved part of the road in front of her.

His right claw shot out to catch her arm, the nails on his hand naturally digging into her flesh as she twisted her body to send a knee flying into the side of his ribs, earning her a grunt for her effort. However, rather than letting go and stumbling from the pain Limax would whip his arm to the side, her own arm still in his grasp as he attempted to hurl her toward the wall!

Rhona got momentarily distracted by the claws in her arm to notice all too late that she was flying. When she finally got the clue she tried her flight response to brace for impact. The timing was futile as she slammed back side against the training wall. The wind was knocked from her body and you can bet there was a choking noise.
She gripped her chest getting back precious air to fill her lungs. She looked at Limax with the most wide eyed look. She remembered before he was about even with her, while she did notice his presence was stronger there was still a bit shock as to how much their difference was at this point.
She whistled. "Color me impressed, you really have made a full recovery quick." she chuckled. Both her hands were on the wall as she shoved off using her flight to make herself as fast as possible. She'd want to catch him by surprise, She crouched low still advancing in his direction. She'd get close and Leap above his shoulders to bring a Kick to the side of his head.

"I heal quick." He repeated, feeling a momentary pang of guilt as he saw the look on her face and heard the small choking sound. Perhaps he was being too hard on her? Perhaps it was best that he hold back? He truly had no desire to cause her real harm. And yet, she was still laughing. Still wanting to fight, and even praising him. That there showed that she was a true warrior, worthy of his respect. Not his pity.
So he would not hold back against her. He would treat her as an equal opponent as he would in the ring or on a real battlefield. It's what he believed she would want. His eyes followed her movement easily enough. And when she came in close, leaping over his shoulders he shifted with her movement, his right hand coming up to grab her kick, his hand jerking back with the force of her blow, barely avoiding his face before he'd toss her to the side once more. Silently hoping that this time she was ready enough to stop herself from hitting the wall.

She was able to catch herself with some decent preparation. He was different than normal, there was nothing coming out of him. She slowed her launch and gave him a discouraged look. He repeated what he said before, he was more void of any emotion than normal it seemed to her. She was not good at reading people but she felt like she was out of the loop from the distance in his responses to her.
"Oi, something eating at you?" She floated waving her gloved hands urging him on. "Come on!" She bolted from the wall again this time skating in some semi circle as fast as she could, she'd build and fire a softball sized electric hot ball at him in a matter of seconds. But if she had enough time she'd try and fire of three in her round about. She might be getting ahead of herself. Like she could tell. She was feeling the burn from her jacket, but she knew she could keep going.

Fighting against her, even in training brought back some of the thoughts he had before from his training in the wasteland. Even if he wasn't tapped into that[\i] power right now. He still felt it bubbling beneath the surface. And he had a certainty that he could life a hand up and fire a beam. He was certain that beam would be able to rip through her chest and destroy her heart before exploding out her back.
He shook his head trying to shake out those unwanted thoughts. But the distraction was enough for her balls of electricity to hit him, giving his flesh a few minor burns.
Before he even knew what he was doing his right hand shot up and fired a beam right for her. He had enough restraint for it to not be aimed at her chest, whatever morbid thoughts continued to invade his thoughts. Rather this beam would be aimed at her right shoulder.
"It's just us here."
So obviously nothing could be eating him. Still, his words had taken on a darker tone than usual. If only just. But there was no time to dwell on it as following the Beam Limax would rush toward her to send a roundhouse kick to the side of her head. Just to see of he could send her to the wall again.
