Attempt At Perfection [Bulla & Frostvite]

[Vanto Lux]

Van stood in the middle of a clearing, panting and sweating profusely. His raven hair was soaked and his bare, rather toned torso was glistening in the sun light. In front of him was a row of trees, some toppled over, steam billowing off them, and others with large gashes in them. The land around them was scarred, devastated by the recent onslaught of ki attacks Vanto laid on it. That's why he was so tired, he had been training for nearly three hours, and was going no where. Van felt like he didn't accomplish anything, at all. "One more time," the boy muttered, spreading his legs apart, and hunching forward, his core and arm muscles contracting slightly. Van began to sweat more and his body began to shake.

A white light began to envelope his body and ki exploded outward as Van pulled his hands back. Yellow energy began to accumulate in his palms, condensing and forming a concentrate ball of energy. He howled and thrust his arms forward, the energy balls leaving his palms in a streak of fiery yellow energy. The energy collided with the tree, causing it to explode violently, smoke and bark everywhere. Van sighed, smirking. Maybe he was getting somewhere. "Oh god, I'm so tired..." He said before falling onto the grass, looking up into the sky.

He looked to the left, closing his right eye and searched for his black shirt. After seeing it was too far away and he was too tired, Van closed his eyes. Sooner than later, the boy fell asleep in the middle of the clearing.

[Bulla]

[/b]" Muttering to herself, she kicked a small rock to the side. Her arms crossed over her chest and her facial expressions turned into a frown. Due to the demand of her mother, the aqua haired teen was in the mountains looking for a certain material that could be found in rocks. Now.. she didn't know exactly what she was looking for and the idea of gathering a bunch of rocks had crossed her mind... but her mother saw the plan before it had finished forming and set her straight.

Look through the rocks carefully. Break into them and a special mineral could be clearly seen. Boring? Indeed. Plus she didn't have the patience. Her feet barely touched the ground, as she floated lazily into the clearing. She spotted the sleeping dark haired figure pretty quickly, which made her smirk. It seemed the day was going to get a little bit interesting. Vanto.. you could say was Bulla's friend, but she didn't like using the term loosely. He was strong.. stronger than her and it would be a lie if she didn't say that she was jealous. Everyone around her was stronger. Even Vidar was stronger and she couldn't even make a simple ki blast like she could. It was annoying and made her self confidence go down a little bit each day. "Sleepy head.. wake up" Crouching down beside his sleeping form, she sighed poking him in the side with her finger. [/ul][/justify]

[Vanto Lux]

Vanto was a having a really bad dream. A nightmare, actually. He was sitting at home, in his living room, watching the television. Van was pretty happy because his favorite television show was on, but his expression soon went to a look of shock. The television suddenly went while, with a strange red symbol in the middle. He groaned; he knew what that symbol meant, it was another one of Frieza's broadcasts. Of course, the tyrant's face appeared on the television, and began to speak. Vanto stared at the screen, not really paying attention to what the bastard had to say.

"What are you going to do, boy?" Frieza suddenly said. Vanto blinked and stared at the television, a vein bulging on the side of his head. "Yes, you, boy? What can you possibly do? Nothing. You're nothing. Just a puny little boy who's in over his head."

"Shut up!" Vanto shouted, and shot a ki blast at this television. The screen exploded, and smoke filled that general part of the room. He sat on his couch, panting, sweat pouring down the sides of his face. He attempted to stand up, but he felt paralyzed by something. Van, for some reason, was confined to his couch. Through the dim smoke, he could see a figure standing there, and murderous intent filled the room. He tried to get up and run, but he couldn't. He was too scared, all he could do was sit there. The smoke cleared, and the tyrant himself was standing there, grinning manically at the boy, red eyes bright and beaming. As Van sat there, he felt something poking at his side, his wide eyes on the incoming overlord.

With a loud gasp, Vanto's eyes flipped open, black eyes staring into the clear sky. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see a blue-haired girl sitting at his side, prodding him with her index finger. He sat up and examined the girl. She was his father's boss' daughter, Bulla, or at least, he thought that was her name. He didn't find himself being around a lot except for the occasional times Van saw her at the company. The raven haired boy flicked his head slightly, moving his bangs from his eyes, and then pushed himself away from Bulla before standing up. A bit too weak from the training he did only a couple minutes ago, Vanto nearly stumbled over but quickly caught himself, standing up straight. Smiling weakly, he brought his hand up to his shoulder and began to massage gently. "So, Bulla, right?" Van asked, making sure he got the girl's name right. "What brings you out here?"

[Bulla]

[/b]" Rolling her eyes, she stood up and crossed her arms. Glaring at him lightly, Bulla let out a huff flipping her hair back behind her shoulder. "I can't tell you.. its secret Capsule Corp information" Pausing, she blinked innocently and snapped her fingers looking at him in false surprise. "Oh right.. your dad works for my mom, right?".

Nodding not waiting for his conformation, her hand slipped to her hip and she leaned a bit to the side. "And your..erm..." Her nose scrunched, shrugging slightly she sighed. "Yeah.. sorry don't remember you".[/justify][/ul]

[Vanto Lux]

Van blinked at Bulla, and smirked. Apparently, he hit a nerve. Was he supposed to know the boss' daughter? He didn't think he should. As the girl talked to him, he looked around, scanning the area for shirt, which was right behind the girl. Not wanting to be rude, he decided to just wait until the girl was done talking. He slipped his hands into his pocket, and looked her in the eyes as she spoke to him. What was so secret about her walking through the woods? Van didn't want to press the girl, but he was extremely curious. Keeping a rather indifference look on his face, trying not to show his eagerness to know, he continued to stand there, the girl speaking to him.

He wondered why the girl was so offended by Vanto not knowing her name, when she didn't even know his. He nodded to Bulla's statement about his dad, and pulled a hand out of his pocket, rubbing his shoulder again. "My name is Vanto. Vanto Lux." He said, smiling at the blue-haired girl. Vanto turned around, noticing the toppled trees behind him, blowing the path that led through the rest of the woods. He shrugged at this, but winced in pain as he did. "Ouch," he said flatly and looked at his agitated shoulder.

Vanto walked toward Bulla, stumbling slightly as he did, and then past her. Nearing his shirt and instead of kneeling down, he felt forward, holding his arm out to stop his fall. His palm pressed against the black shirt, and the dark-haired teen held that position for a while. Suddenly, the shirt slipped from under his palm, and Vanto face planted into the dry grass. "Ow." He muttered.

[Bulla]

[/b]" She did a fake smile, but nodded nonetheless. The teen already knew his name, meh she didn't have to hear him say it to her. Ouch..? Blinking in confusion, Bulla watched him quietly as he walked closer to her. Her eyes stared into his before curiosity struck. Her gaze lowered down and took in his naked chest.

....nice. Raising a brow, her head nodded slowly in approval. Yep, they would have been amazingly hot together. The blue haired teen was of course hotter. Taking a step back, she cleared her throat softly and proceed to move her gaze down lower as he past her. Still nodding her head in approval, she raised her hand in her hair, and began twisting a strand between her fingers. "Anyway I was out here bec-" Pausing, she was completely still. Blue eyes just staring at the backside of his flesh now, since his face was now apparently in the ground. Her head tilted to the side and she huffed embarrassed for him. Now if she was a really mean person, the teen would have laughed in his face and went about her business. But she wasn't.. at least she wasn't that mean. Bulla wasn't a nice person either, because if she was.. well she would have actually helped him up. Instead she did her own thing. In a matter of few seconds, she had sat herself on his back and was clicking her tongue sympathetically. "Well now... seems like your hurt there buddy..".[/ul][/justify]

[Vanto Lux]

Vanto groaned in pain, and laid there for a bit. He stuck his butt up first, and then bent his arms, his forearm pressing against the grass. As he began to get up, he hears approaching footsteps followed by a weight being slapped onto his back. Naturally, he flexed and tensed up his muscles, his arms shaking slightly under the weight. His body was sore, and the girl obviously knew that. Why was she sitting on him, then? Vanto sighed. He knew these types of girls; bitchy, extremely fashion-conscious. He looked up at the girl, turning his head to the side and making eye contact with her, deep onyx eyes meeting her aqua orbs. He found himself lost in them, and eventually, staring at her, a blank look on his face. Yeah, she was a little hot. Whatever.

After about a minute of looking at her, Vanto turned his head away and stared at a random tree in front of him. "Yeah," he said, trying to prevent the impending awkwardness. "Okay, I'm hurt. Can you get off me, please?" He asked, his voice rough. His arms were starting to hurt from holding both his weight and hers, and soon enough, he would fall back onto his face. Vanto didn't want that. He turned his head to her again, and stared her, waiting for her to get off and relief him of her extra weight.

[Bulla]

[/b]" She asked, even though the teen tucked her legs for the indian style position, while hoovering smoothly a few feet above his body. Her hands ran through her blue strands as she smirked down at him, when she noticed he was looking at her once again. Bulla tilted her head to the side and crossed her arms "Like anything you see?".[/justify][/ul]

[Frosvite]

"..."

This was odd.

"How do I start this..."

That was mostly definitely weird.

"These guys seem like they have something, but..."

This didn't seem too logical for the Changeling that just arrived. Under his hood and the turban were hiding the chestnut-like head that would tell everybody what he is, but beneath that he had the cover of a bandit lizardman with a strange device on his eye. That was the scouter that managed to pick up a reading for him earlier, a reading of Ki being used, a reading of rather high powerlevels that could trash him at any minute. But seriously, were those two really the persons those readings came from?

Either way, he needed the money, and he needed the money bad. It was a shame he had to attack more humans just so he could survive, and not that he really needed - he could live off as a caveman, but Mt. Paozu isn't a place too many humans come to, and thus stealing from them there is the best resort. That way he wouldn't have to reveal himself to the humans he lives by, but at the same time also remind himself what a terrible being he is. Living as a bandit isn't too simple.

But the money really was needed! And these two kids really seemed like that have a zenni or two up their pockets, at least a little... No helping it. They're strong. He can't kill them.

"You t-there!!"

Oh snap, he just jumped out of his hiding place and revealed himself trying to look all scary, but the trembling lips and unsure voice did a fine job killing the moment for him. This was not going to end well.

[Vanto Lux]

Vanto looked at her, finding himself lost in her beauty. "You should, because you're hurting me." he muttered, under his breath and low enough for Bulla not to hear. The young warrior examined the girl carefully, looking over her body several times then to her face. She was hot, obviously, but she was a total bitch. Well, maybe not total, more like eighty-five percent bitch. He began to dig deeper though, secreting analyzing her attitude. Maybe she was a protective bitch, but hopefully not too controlling. He went through several personality traits she could have possessed, and worked out how compatible they were. Vanto was pulled from his thoughts when Bulla made her little comment. It was then he noticed two things; his back was free from her weight, and she was floating in the air. She knew how to fly!?

Maybe he wasn't the only one. Vanto stood once more, flexing his muscles and then rubbing his shoulder. "Yeah, so what if I am?" He finally said, smirking at the girl. When he said it, though, he was using a different tone than usual. Van spoke more sweetly, but not to the point to where he sounded like a girl, and with more poise. He crossed his arms over his chest, and stepped back a couple paces from the girl. The youth took his gaze off the girl and turned to go get his shirt. As he did, there was a loud rustle, and something jumped out from behind a bush. The thirteen year old stopped dead in tracks, and immediately took a fighting stance, although it looked a bit sloppy due to his fatigue. He watched the hooded figure carefully, listening to his demand.

Then, he noticed that the apparent bandit didn't seem so sure of himself; Vanto could tell through the man's tone. The boy dropped his stance and stood upright, grinning at the man, trying to contain his laughter. "You clown." Vanto said, closing his eyes and bringing arms down to his side. He turned his head and looked toward Bulla then to the sky. "What are you doing?" the raven haired teen said, his eyes still closed, a nonchalant look plastered on his face.

[Bulla]

[/b]" Her voice trailed off and ended with a somewhat disappointing sigh. Did he really have to put on his shirt? When people had bodies like that.. it should be a law that shirts were prohibited. The rustle in the bushes made her blink in confusion and her gaze immediately turned to the figure that had jumped out.

... seriously? "... and now I don't" She huffed crossing her arms and landing on her feet on the ground. Throughout the years, the blue haired teen had came across plenty of thieves or bandits in the past. And out of all of them.. this guy or thing right here had to be the sorriest excuse of a 'bad' guy she had ever seen. "You're kidding, right?" Scoffing with a shake of her head, her eyes closed for a few seconds then reopened in amusement. At least the guy had courage though.. she had to give him that. It was two against one and unless he had some super high power level that she couldn't sense if he tried anything Bulla was pretty sure he was going to get his ass handled to him. [/ul][/justify]

[Frosvite]

Well, that was that. As predicted, the situation turned out to be the worst and as expected, Frosvite couldn't make such an offensive approach at all, and was outstaged very easily by the human duo. His Powerlevel was perhaps a little higher than theirs, maybe and maybe not, he still had his second form in case things go south, but he would never attempt to kill them just so he could get his hands on their capsules and money. Surely though, these two must have a couple of valuables so even if he screws up, an attack or some kind of approach must be conducted so he could at least live through the next month. Even just 100 Zenni would do! The problem is to get it, though.

"Uhh... What...?"

He said in almost absolute silence. His firm stance breaking into a surprised pose all of the sudden as the human asked for his doing in this place. After all, the Changeling has yet made his declaration, so that 'hey you' part was pretty unappealing. That much should not surprise him, no, but rather the fact they stood up to him so easily and went as far as mocking him while he didn't even introduce himself. These people were evil, their attitude was worse than Frieza's! At least cousin Frieza showed a little interest and listened before blowing things up. Still, not their fault, Frosvite could only blame himself and wanted to just slump down on his knees in depression and fail or just make a run for it. He couldn't do it though, more important business was on his mind.

"Hand over all capsules and Zenni you have in possession now!!"

At least that line was not as shaky as the previous one. He quickly regained his pose and pointed at the two, revealing his black leather glove. Slowly it looked like he was going to reveal parts of his clothing, as his boots and glove were seen so far, aside for the large beige robe covering the rest of his body and masking his alien face.

Even though he managed to put up the last act, his mind still drifted around on the thoughts of the 'what if', the biggest fear in his mind not being beaten to a pulp - but rather not.

[Vanto Lux]

Vanto stood there, his eyes closed, head facing toward the sky. His arms were folded behind his head, his lips curling in a smirk. This thief apparently wasn't expecting the reaction he got from the teens. The male teen brought his arms down and sighed, dropping his head and opening his eyes, staring the hidden changling from the corners of them. "Durr..what?" The boy mocked, making a weird face as he imitated the bandit. Van stomped a foot forward, and outstretched his arm, pointing at the woods behind the robe-clad man. "I suggest you get out of here before we have to take action." He demanded, a fierce look on his face. The boy glanced at Bulla, then back to the thief.

Then the guy seemed to straighten up, commanding the two teens to hand over their current possessions. Van seemed to taken back by the statement, not expecting the man to straighten up so fast. He glared at the guy for a bit; the two seemed to have a relatively even power level, but Van was weak, he had just trained his ass off. Plus, from what he understood, Bulla wasn't strong enough to fight the thief, much less protect him if Vanto blacked out from exhaustion. Maybe this guy was trying to put some sort of front, a type of manly bravado that Vanto would attempt to break down. If this guy actually meant business, then the two teens could have some trouble.

'Hand over deez nuts." Vanto snapped back, backpedaling over to where Bulla was, and stood in front of her, slipping into his sloppy stance.

He attempted to flare his aura, the white appearing for a second then fizzling out before reappearing again. The white energy stayed longer but then fizzled out again, a sign of Vanto's obvious ki exhaustion. He let out a low, audible grunt as he reached deep into his energy reserves and the ki sparked back to life, this time, staying and surrounding the young fighter. "Come and try to take it."

[Bulla]

[/b]" Frowning, Bulla tried to Vanto from in front of her. "Yeah, thanks but I can handle myself thank you. I don't need help taking care of a third rate wannabe bandit".

sucks[/ul][/justify]

[Frosvite]

Bad move. Absolutely a bad move. Frosvite straightened up quite quickly and allowed himself to make a 'more offensive approach' to these teens, but in all truth he was not mentally prepared to threaten their lives, which is why he hasn't. But these two clearly didn't even try taking him seriously, much less show any respect at all for his efforts of getting his act together only to ask them to spare some change (quite offensively though). That was that though, not much can be done about that: these two humans were going to stand up for themselves very well, unlike what Frosvite himself can do. He, as a lizardman can't live normally, how can he as a Changeling or as a bandit which should be more than just twice as hard?

The scouter showed no readings at all because of the alien not allowing it to test them. Instead, he wanted to take a lucky guess that he's stronger than both of them, hoping that this deed isn't going to cost him all his clothes and eventually any shred of trust he can earn from them later on. The way the boy stood up in-front of the girl and the blue haired had to give off the independent act gave the 'young' Changeling an idea of what he's dealing with: two annoying adolescences. They went as far as treating him like a joke, or worse than that while he held the power to destroy all of Mt. Paozu.

Not that he wanted to, of course.

"I'm warning you!"

Frosvite shouted confidentially, beginning to mold his Ki in the middle of his finger, focusing it on a Ki blast that should be fired sooner or later if these guys don't give him what he wants. Not that he's going to use it to hurt them, he'll just give a scare. Frosvite was not the kind of Changeling to harm others, so much not that kind. Instead, he would shoot beams from his fingers and make boulders explode, showing he "means business" and using that fact to threaten the lives of these pushy teenagers.

"Give me all the Zenni and Capsules you have in possession now!!"

He wanted to commit suicide at this point. Such fragile beings, exposed to such comments from such a fragile mind.
