Of course, Athren had been so lost in his thoughts that he wasn't prepared for what was to come and while he knew this planet wasn't going to take kindly to him even being there, what happened was something that he couldn't even expect, at least not in the manner that it was received. Normally, he would've guessed some warriors would've gathered and demanded he leave and fight if necessary, but it wasn't this time. This time it was straight to the offensive. With his vision locked onto the landscape and his thoughts reflecting on the news of his heritage and what he was going to do next, he made himself vulnerable and that vulnerability was exploited on the unsuspecting warrior.

"Urgh!"

With a blunt kick applied to the back of his head, Athren went flying across the sky. In fact, he didn't even know what hit him. It had taken him longer to recover than normal simply because he wasn't ready for a fight, however.  The pain that he felt had immediately sparked everything inside of him, his pride, his warrior principles and his eagerness and need to fight. All of it was drawn to the surface as a smirk had crossed his face. Whomever did that, they were going to regret it.  He immediately began sensing the area around him once more as he used his Ki to catch himself in a dead stop that left him flying in the air.

His body turned quickly, his eyes scanning back in the direct of where he once stood.  "Alright then." He was about to blast forward back to where he got hit from but this.. creature had already followed and pressed her attack. His eyes went wide with surprise with just how fast she was, with the weights holding Athren back from his true power, he was almost caught off guard. She was right before him with energy spheres in her hands and the only thing he could think to do was cross his arms in an X guard to absorb the blows.  With the collision of the spheres hitting his block, it still had enough force to blow him back once more, however he caught himself much faster this time and immediately blasted forwards to meet this threat in combat.

He closed the distance fast, his knee flying up towards the creatures stomach to try and deliver a powerful blow. "Just what the hell are you?"
He had never seen a creature like this before, he couldn't identify the race or the origin of it. This was something completely new to him yet it was rather exciting. His next move would've brought both arms up behind her in a double axe handle style attack and he forced them down rapidly with great force and speed. He had hoped it would collided and send her flying towards the ground. 

From what he could sense now, she would make a great sparring partner for him at his current power level, however he couldn't help but be curious as to why he was getting attack like this.   The only explanation he could muster was that she didn't like saiyans and wanted him off this planet. While it was only a guess,  he had no evidence saying otherwise and it seemed like the most logical thing to think at the time.

With his knee making contact the way he wanted it to, he was caught by surprise with how her body shifted and stretched. It was to the point his knee was poking out the back. Now this isn't something he had ever experienced before. He had delivered and received some brutal blows before but he had never seen anything like this, how could someones body be so.. rubbery?  Even the way it felt against his knee was strange, it was something of a gummy substance, it wasn't like hitting a body but instead some kind of material that could just absorb impacts.
Just what the hell was she made of?

No matter what he was thinking, his head was still fully in this fight and with his second attack slamming hard on the top of her head, she disfigured in a way that he couldn't understand either, hell she even reformed after splattering. It was at this point it was very obvious that whoever or whatever this thing was had very unique abilities, ones that he had never come across before. It turned out that this little engagement wasn't just going to test his body and his strength, but it was going to test his mind. He was going to have to figure out something and there was questions to be answered. Just how durable was this.. thing? How much damage could she take before the damage actually started to show? Hell, COULD she take any permanent damage?  That was the primary answer he needed, COULD she actually take damage and be worn down like the average fighter? He had to find out.

All she did was laugh, she didn't reply to his words at all. He couldn't help but arch a brow as he prepared for the next engagement. "I'll just have to beat the answer out of you then, won't I?" He said with a confident smirk on his face. With another big energy wave being blasted towards him he shifted his body out of the way to narrowly avoid being hit. She wasn't a fighter that preferred hands as far as he could tell but perhaps that was just the way she was introducing herself in this fight. It was still too early to tell the extent of her abilities or even her fighting style but so far there was a pattern.

With her closing the gap from above Athren placed his arm in the wave of her hand as if he were to block but before he knew it he sensed her below but by that time it was far too late to counter. She had grabbed him by the ankles and swung him towards the blast that he narrowly dodged earlier, however he had something for this.

"Shit..!" He muttered as he saw where he was being swung, though he immediately formed his Ki barrier around himself and upon collision with the Ki barrier and the massive Ki blast, both of them shattered against each other and dispersed.  With some rapid thinking, Athren would've extended his hand towards her body and fired three ki blasts, one at her face and the other two at her arms to break him free from her grip.

With her hands being blown off Athren was given a temporary moment of relief to regain himself and reset the situation he was in. While a spectator might've thought he was losing this thing outright, he was having an absolute blast. It wasn't very often he got to be in a situation like this and with things being rather calm and quiet on Earth for the last few months, this was more than welcomed. In fact, the few fights that had been happening seemed to be coming all at once, perhaps it was just preparing him for what was to come, guiding him in preparations for his decision that he had to make. However, he wasn't going to think of that now. He was just going to get himself lost in this fight and in the moment and enjoy it to the fullest.

Before he knew it, the chunks had grown into yet another one of her and now there was a total of two opponents to deal with. This forced him to arch his brow. "The fuck..?" He mumbled to himself in a curious tone. This wasn't like any other fighter he had fought before, he couldn't even identify a race and this was an experience he needed. He knew there was races out there with strange abilities and he'd never get the chance to fight them all, however with every new one that he got to fight he'd learn to adapt to their uniqueness.  As he knew the fight was going to continue, he prepared himself for the next engagement. 

With the first of them rushing in, Athren made sure to keep his Ki sensing up. He couldn't afford to let himself get sloppy in a situation like this. He moved his body and brought his hand up to guide away the punch as he also shifted his body away from the tackle, however there was just too much pressure for him to put on an offensive right now. He had to play this defensively for now and try to figure out a pattern or some type of weakness in their style.  When the wheeled, Athren watched as he kept his guard up. He debated throwing a Ki blast but he wanted to learn right now, he wanted to take this all in and try and come up with a strategy.

With the first one shooting up towards him, he blocked it by putting his arm in the way however the second one collided with his chest with a lot of force, even forcing a cough out of the warrior. He then got hit by a massive blow that sent him down towards the other Majin. A small groan escaped his lips. However, with the majin closing the gap he decided to use his after image technique to try and trick them and move out of the way. When she went to wrap around the image of him he came back swinging with his own double axe handle strike to her head. He was hoping it'd hit and force her blasting into the ground.  If it collided, he'd blast up towards the second majin, his fist clenched tightly as aura glowed around it as he launched his Nova Punch technique right towards her center of mass.

It turned out his little trick work and luckily, the main attack hand landed too. It brought a sense of joy to Athren watching the creature light of from the inside and blow up from the inside out, hell it even brought a smirk to the warriors face. However, this thing wasn't far from over yet and as of now there was only one to deal with. He assumed that this creature could just create another copy of themself if they so desired so this was still an uphill battle for now. At least, it would be until Athren decided to truly show his power but the truth was, even if he was on the back foot he was having fun with this situation. It wasn't every day he got a fight like this, not only in terms of the fight itself but the tactics and knowledge he was gaining.

Continuing with his Ki sensing ability, it guided him to where the other fighter was at. His body shifted and turned as his eyes looked down at his opponent, though he didn't make any moves. He simply just starred down below from above. Even if he was on the back foot, his body and posture still displaying his confidence, his pride.  He hadn't been afraid or even deterred from the events of the fight and if anything he was having quite a fun time with this.  His brow arched slightly as he watched her pick up a big boulder, a massive one at that. He was rather curious to see what she was going to do with it. It wouldn't do anything but serve as a distraction for something bigger and Athren knew this, however he'd play into it a little bit. Right now, he was holding back so much of his power that he could afford to take some hits and if anything, taking those hits just motivated him and made things more interesting.

With the boulder being tossed at him Athren had immediately decided to throw a right punch at it's center of mass when it closed the distance. Upon contact the boulder exploded and crumbled as parts of it shot behind him. Yet, not a single piece of it had made contact with him. However the follow up attack was already right there and he didn't have much time to react to it, yet a smirk still crossed his face. All he could do was brace for impact. His arms moved quickly to shape an X guard as the blast collided hard with his block.



With the blast hitting his block hard Athren was blasted backwards and he collided with the side of the mountain, though there was so much force generated that it blasted him through and out the other side.  Dust filled the air and spread throughout the area as the sound of his collision echoed through the area. He blasted out the other side in a tumbling manner before catching himself with his Ki. His clothing was ripped and torn and he couldn't help but have a bigger smirk on his face now.   He wanted her to keep pressing the attack, he wanted her to keep chasing. He was going to keep playing on the back foot until he was ready to show her who she was fighting.

He watched as she closed the gap once more, she was a persistent one and kept the action going.  He enjoyed that, even admired it. However, this was still a fight that he wanted to win but for now he was just playing his cards the right way. He wanted to see as much of this.. things abilities as he could before he really started pressing the attack. He wanted her to show him as much of her hand as possible so he knew exactly what he was going to be dealing with and while it might've looked like he was getting beat now, he was still holding back a whole lot of his power and he knew at any point he could go from being on the back foot to applying a hell of a lot of pressure. 

"You're a persistent one!"

He exclaimed as she fanned herself out to stop her momentum right in front of his face. He simply kept his guard up and awaited an attack. His eyes waiting for even the slightest twice of a muscle to indicate an incoming attack. With her leg swinging towards his, Athren simply lifted and shifted his leg out of the way. This is exactly where he thrived and what he preferred. Up close and personal, he loved being in this situation and if he could make any fight come to this, that's where he'd be and now that they were there he was going to put a little more effort into this.

With her knee coming up, Athren placed both hands in the way and stopped it dead. He thrust his head forward in an attempt to collide it with hers before getting clocked with her roundhouse kick to the cheek. Instead of getting shot off into the distance, Athren maintained a strong posture and simply turned his head back to his opponent even if the mark on his face had shown that he had taken some damage.  She had then released a barrage of kicks towards him but he simply ducked and weaved them and exchanged them with his own attacks.  He raised himself on her level as he took a few kicks, however he unleashed a few punches of his own. Strategically aiming at her body before going for the head.

It came to a moment where he attempted to grab her leg and toss her down towards the ground and if he were successful, he'd fire a few Ki blasts down in her direction before rushing in to keep up the up close and personal fight going. Whoever this thing was, she wasn't only a talented fighter but she was rather relentless. Her lack of words could very easily be used as an intimidation tactic as well on somebody that wasn't so adapted to fighting.  He had to admit, he never fought anybody like this before and his blood was pumping. It had seemed like forever since he had this level of entertainment from a fight and he planned to enjoy it to it's fullest.
