Arashi didn't expect to see Akio sensei at the top, but he was actually relieved to see him. He mustered up a smile in response to his sensei's joke and took him up on his offer of tea. He probably really needed it to replenish himself from his training. He wiped his face to clean some of the tears and sweat before taking the tea. He took a few sips of it to start and listened to Akio. He didn't know that he came up here often. Maybe one day they'd end up training up here together. It would definitely be something intense if their bell training session was anything to go off of.

When Akio said that he was here to say goodbye he wondered why he was leaving and where he was going. Fortunately his mental question was answered by his sensei. He was heading to Kumogakure to help the intelligence division for the war. He wanted to come along and perhaps train along the way, but he realized how stupid that sounded and didn't bring it up. He was surprised to hear that Team 2, Rin, and Izu would be doing special missions as a secretive task force. The thought interested him, but he wasn't even sure they were ready for something like that. Team 2 might be used to working together, but Rin and Izu might not have. Though that was probably why they were training together right now. And here he was trying to train alone.

When it was time for questions he wasn't sure if he had any left. He wouldn't ask if he believed they were ready for this special job since he already knew that he'd say that they were. "No questions. Just good luck out there, sensei." He took more sips of his tea and placed it down before standing up to stretch. He had almost forgotten that he had his weights on. "I just hope that we all come back from this war safely." He knew that if he were to look at this realistically this task force of theirs had the biggest risk of danger and considering their low ranks the danger seemed like it would be even greater.

He removed his weights slowly and placed them gently on the ground. "I actually do have questions. Do you think this guy is really Hashirama? How could he still be alive and that much of a threat? Why does he want war against us? I know you probably don't know the answers, but these are still weighing on my mind."

True. If I was on my computer I'd post a picture of a bull whip. I'll post either later tonight or tomorrow.

Teen Titans: Divided We Fall

So with Sandstorm since Grenade is busy with real life. Is he with the team right now or did he go MIA after the team became Public Enemies?

I'll wait to post just in case Alan wants to Rp Akio seeing Arashi climbing or something before he leaves Konoha.

Titans East: United We Stand

Damn. I hate when that happens because it causes you to worry more.

Titans East: United We Stand

I plan on getting a post in today.

I hope your dad's alright.

Naruto Gaiden: The Will Of Fire!! (AU)

Arashi finally made his way home and didn't stop at the door to slip off his shoes. He felt that he didn't have the time to do that and just ran right in. His parents weren't home. His dad was probably preparing for the war and his mother was probably out helping with village reconstruction. He rushed to his room and went through his closet to find what he was looking for. He found his wrist and ankle weights where he tossed them as well as the wristbands that he used to hide the former. He wore long pants and his weights weren't thick enough to cause people to notice so he felt like he didn't need to hide them with any leg warmers or anything like that.

He put everything on and started walking out of his room. He could hear the floorboards creak beneath him as he walked. Yeah, they were just about as heavy as the day before. He finally made it back to the door and was met by the sight of his mother. She didn't like the use of weights for training so he especially had to hide it from her. He looked up at her and just now realized how much she looked like the first Hokage's rival. He knew that she was from the same clan, but he was sure that she wasn't a direct descendant. It made him wonder how big of a threat this Hashirama guy was. He couldn't really be that big of a problem if he was as old as he should be, right? He didn't know of any jutsu that could keep people young. There was always a possibility though.

He waved to his mother and rushed off. His training began now. He started running away from his home and felt the weights adding more to the training. They made him feel heavier and slower and he always felt like he could be ready to quit at any moment, but that wasn't going to happen. Arashi Uchiha wasn't a quitter. He was starting off slow in his run and slowly picked up pace as he went along. His destination was the mountains of Konoha. He was told this was where some of the greatest shinobi trained. He wanted to be one of those greats.

Arashi arrived at the base and looked up to the challenge before him. He had climbed the mountains before, but not with weights on. He tried before, but was usually worn out by the time he got to this point. This time was different. He still had the energy left to do this or at least that's what he believed. He reached behind his back with his left hand to make this even more challenging than it already was. He didn't like taking shortcuts in his training so this was going to be the way he was going to do it.

He started climbing up only using his legs and right arm. He could feel the weights bearing down on the protruded rocks on the mountain. Time seemed to drag on as he slowly made his way higher and higher. When he got to the point where he had to transition into an upside down climb he could really feel himself wanting to quit, but he couldn't. He was halfway there. If he quit now then he might as well die. He really might as well have. Climbing back down wouldn't be as easy from this point if he was already struggling. He could slip and fall to his death if he wasn't careful.

He used the recent events to motivate him. Seth wasn't the only one who left someone during the Pain Invasion. He was confronted by one of them and Sasuke appeared out of nowhere and told him to run. He hesitated, but still ran regardless. He left him there and then found out that he had died then. That crushed him. He wanted to believe that if he would have stayed then they could have defeated him together. Just thinking about it brought tears to his eyes. The tears mixed with the sweat around his face causing the mixed liquids to fall to the ground below. He continued to climb and almost slipped, but regained his balance. He couldn't die here. He had to keep moving forward. He had people counting on him.

"Big Brother Sasuke... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you there. Hayashi, Seth, Akio Sensei, Itachi, Rin, and even you Izu. I won't run away ever again. I won't leave any of you to die. I swear it..." Speaking seemed to make this even harder. He decided to shut up until he got to the top. It wasn't like these guys were there to hear him say any of it.

After a while Arashi finally made it to the top and climbed over. When he did he fell down and started to pant. He'd call this second part of training complete. It was time for part three. But a break sounded nice.

Dragon Ball: Leviathan

Name
Taroga

Age
37

Species
Saiyan

Attribute
Combat Support Officer (?)

Personality & Appearance


Taroga has long, tall, and spiky black hair. He stands at 6'3 with hair being included in the measurement. He wears a black gi like outfit with a red undershirt with red and black shoes. When going into official combat he wears his shoulder pad free armor, but will remove it in cases where he gets really excited. He has a dark brown and thick monkey tail sticking out of his rear. He usually hid it, but will be wrapping it around his waist outside of his clothes by the time this Rp begins.

Taroga's personality is typical of a Saiyan. Combat and training is usually what's on his mind and doesn't care about much else. He has an aggressive attitude and chooses to speak only when he needs to or boasts about himself in battle. He thinks it's a way to distract and taunt his opponent, but it's really just him boosting his ego. He tries to care about people, but at the moment finds it not so much in his nature. The only times he showed care and concern were with his typical mission squad and when he witnessed the destruction of Planet Vegeta. He cared about the latter mostly because he lost an entire planet worth of warriors who could push him to his limits. Because of that he has built up anger and hatred for Frieza and plans to be the one to end him.

Weaponry & Equipment
Planet Trade Organization Scouter: This is a scouter that he took with him before leaving Planet Vegeta. It does have a limit of power that it's able to read and that's up until forty thousand.

Planet Trade Organization Armor: This armor provides Taroga with some protection and was worn by him before he left Planet Vegeta. He hasn't worn it in the years since landing on the new planet so it's not damaged from battle or anything like that. A powerful enough beam can pierce through the armor and a powerful enough blast could destroy it. The armor can expand to fit his growing body or Great Ape Form.

Planet Trade Organization Space Pod: This is the same space pod that he used to leave Planet Vegeta.

Abilities & Techniques

Saiyan Physiology: The Saiyan physiology is much like that of a human's, but there are some distinct differences. Their bodies are usually attuned and made for warriors. They age at a slower rate than humans and keep their youthful appearance longer so they can keep on fighting. Saiyans are born with tails and this tail helps them transform into their Oozaru form when it comes in contacts with a full moon or their retinas absorb seventeen million zenos. It causes their body to respond to a body chemical reaction produced in their tails causing them to transform into Giant Apes.

The Glow: Taroga has the ability to cover his hands with his ki to enhance his strength and durability in his hands. He believes that with enough training he'd be able to use this on his feet and eventually cover his entire body in ki to add to his defenses. At the moment this tends to drain more energy from him so he uses it for at the max two minutes at a time. It's possible the time will increase with more training as well.

Warrior's Blood Moon: This is a move Taroga created himself where he creates a ball of red ki the size of a Power Ball before it expands in size. He launches it at his opponent to deal crucial damage.

Demon's Scream: This is move that Taroga also named himself. He opens his mouth and charges the ki within his body and screams out a powerful red beam at the enemy.

Crimson Wave: This is just a beam that he shoots out of his hands while mostly using both his hands to produce it. He also named this.

Blood Parade: This is something he usually uses for multiple enemies or a fun way to destroy an area. He sends a charged up blast in the air that stops at a certain point and splits into multiple blasts to rain down on the ground and his opponents. Named this as well. He has a lot of similar themes for his attack names.

Ki Sense: Taroga can sense ki.

Backstory

Taroga remembers his life as if it happened all in one day. He grew up on Planet Vegeta training with other members of his race. His father was a mid-class level Saiyan while his mother was a low-class level Saiyan. He ended up being born the latter. Despite being a low-class Saiyan warrior training came so easily to him. He got into a lot of fights with the other kids and after each fight instinctively grew as a warrior. Most of his missions were with other Saiyans. Sometimes it was around those his age, but most of the time it was with more experienced adults.

He was thirteen when Planet Vegeta was destroyed. He was coincidentally also being sent out on a solo mission to secure a planet for Frieza. His pod was sent off right after Kakorot's and witnessed Frieza destroying the planet. He wanted so much to turn back and face him himself, but he knew that he'd be just as easily annihilated. His anger in the pod got to the point where he came to a point of being calm enough to change the destination of his pod to send it off to a different planet. He didn't know where he'd be going, but he knew that he had to be out of Frieza's reach.

It took a while, but he eventually landed on the planet that he'd temporarily called home. It was a planet of humanoids who lived a rather nice life compared to that of Saiyans. He spent most of his time training in a cave or hunting to get food. He needed to survive and build himself up. He even made sure not to look at a full moon. It wasn't until a year later when he finally cave into his warrior instincts to find someone to fight. He hid his tail and went out searching for someone to fight. He came across others who were sparring in an abandoned area. He went up to talk to them and found out that this was the only way they could fight anymore. There was a war on their planet ten years prior and the resulting proclamation outlawed all forms of martial arts and ki manipulation.

This intrigued Taroga as he really didn't like following rules. He talked them into forming an underground fighting club. It was there that he discovered more about ki and different fighting techniques. After a brutal loss to their world champion he started training under a woman who had a lot to teach him.

Many years later he had his second rematch against the world champion and his fight was discovered during the fight. At the time he didn't realize it due to his primal instincts acting up during the full moon. He didn't usually fight during one, but he couldn't say no to this fight. He ended up killing his opponent and turned to the crowd to see how they responded to it. After looking at their horrified faces he escaped into the night returning to the cave where it all began.

He was prepared to leave the planet and find a new place to settle feeling that the ISF wouldn't hesitate to arrest him for genocide and war crimes. He was a Saiyan after all and despite them not being able to stop Frieza he was sure they'd be happy to take in the last of the Saiyans. At least that's what he believed he was. He moved his pod outside the cave and started to prepare it for departure, but that was when he saw a ship coming into the planet's atmosphere. Had this been the ISF already? No, it was too soon to be them.

Suddenly the frequency in his scouter and every transmitter on the planet was hacked by the ones on the ship. They revealed themselves to be Space Pirates who planned to raid this planet for anything that they could. If anyone was to stand in there way they'd be quickly killed. He was obligated to believe them, but that was before he saw one of the pirates exiting the ship while it was still in the sky and destroyed a city. He didn't know what happened in that short time, but he wasn't going to let this stand. He also knew that he wouldn't be able to leave until after they did and that could ruin his chances of escaping before the ISF arrived.

With this motivation he decides to confront the pirates. He confronts them without using his scouter or his armor. He feels like he doesn't need to use either and especially not the former since learning how to sense the ki within others. It had been a tool that helped him in the arena. He could tell the difference in power between him and others, but couldn't exactly pinpoint where their power stood like he could with a scouter. He knew that some of these pirates were strong and some of them were weak. He'd just have to finish this as quickly as possible.

He aimed for the weak ones first to get a feel of their fighting style and form of combat. They were taken down rather quickly and he didn't even feel like it was a warm up. He needed more. Fortunately there was only three of them that were considered fodder to him. There were five more that would actually prove to be a challenge. He started facing the first one who was about equal in power to him. At first they were exchanging blow after blow after blow until another one used a sneak attack from behind sending a blast towards his back. The attack allowed his opponent to gain the advantage. He was sent crashing to the ground sending up smoke and debris in his wake. This was it. This was how he was going to die, wasn't it? He'll never get to kill Frieza now.

Just as he was about to be blasted to bits he heard a few more yells coming from the West. He recognized them as some of the fighters from the underground as well as his instructor. They may have been weak, but they could still fight. The ensuing battle raged on and he ended up knocking out his equal and heading to help the others. He defeated the one with surprise attacks just as he heard his sensei yelping in pain. She received a powerful blast at point blank range straight to her gut. She fell to the ground grasping on for life. He had one of the other fighters get her out of there so he could finish this off.

He felt it was time to use what he had been taught. He charged up the ki in his hands and caused red ki energy to surround both of his hands. It was a way to increase the power he put out with his attacks and made the difference in the fight. He charged at the remaining pirates and started sending quick and numerous attacks to their faces and bodies before sending them crashing to the ground.

When the last one fell unconscious the energy faded from his hands and he headed over to his master. He stood over her with his arms crossed giving her a look of pure acknowledgement. She had earned his respect despite this being her last moments. The ISF finally arrived as she eased into the next world. They came for him and got more than they bargained for with the pirates. They were going to arrest him too, but the other fighters vouched for him and told them that he had saved them and their planet from being ransacked.

Given his heroic actions the ISF offered him an official pardon and offered him the opportunity to join their ranks in the ISF Academy if he wished to join them defeating other planetary and interstellar threats like the men he had defeated. He decided to take the offer in the hopes that this could further his training and get him one step closer to his ultimate goal.

I should be getting a post in later today or tonight. It depends on how long I'll be out.
