Model Zero lunged at the man with his saber. It had appeared as though he had caught the man off-guard, even more so since the android blind-sided him from the side often Hadoken. However, this particular humanoid appeared to be much more competent than his counterparts. He did not allow himself to lower his guard even though it seemed as though his attack had been a sure hit, and even after that he did not allow his mortal tendency to be surprised get the better of him. As his sword came plunging down, a red layer of energy spawned once again, just like his shield, and wrapped itself around the blade like a glove. His saber was stopped and now it was stuck. Unable to budge loose, the android was open to attack and his adversary took advantage. The man promptly bashed the android in the underarm. Zero could have kept his grip on the handle of his saber, but he found it more prudent to release it and reduce the damage inflicted on his arm. He still had one hand solidly engrossed with the handle of his sword, meanwhile, his other hand moved straight towards the holster on his waist.
The man had successfully stopped Zero's movement and made him vulnerable and defenseless to coming attacks. However, in the process, he has also put himself in a vulnerable position. At such a close distance, he only had a single usable limb which was inaccessible thanks to his leg kicking up at Zero's arm. It would only take the android a second of a second to reach down towards to holster while his opponent's leg was still in the air and un-clip his pistol; another weapon, which his adversary must have been completely oblivious. The man could have never guessed what was coming as it happened in the blink of an eye. For him to dodge or block an attack as this, he must have incredible skill and speed. With that said, his and Zero's strength were a perfect match, which made it impossible to dodge. Just as his opponent's leg would begin to descend towards the ground, Model Zero raises his gun over the leg and shoots at the man's right shoulder, the shoulder wielding the kamacite blade. From his pistol, a small and rapid bullet of concentrated searing energy would be expulsed from the barrel of his gun; a bullet capable of tearing through almost any kind of material. Because they were connected by Zero's saber and his glove-like shield, the man's options were limited as he could not undo the shield in time to escape. He thought he had the android in his grasp, but it was the android who had him. Furthermore, the awkward position of his body due to the kick he recently unleashed would reduce his chances even more.

Seeing that his kick was successful, Brandon was about to send his other leg up to stop Zero in hsi tracks and disable his other arm. But as soon as Brandons leg went down, he saw that he was drawing out another weapon.
Unfortunatly, He did not have time enough to react properly. All he could do, was use his shield to push Zero away. But he was too late as Zero fired his weapon, and the bullet tore through his shoulder like it was tissue paper.
Letting out a yelp of pain, Brandons shield dissolved as he lost his balance and fell to the ground, dropping his sword. Grunting a bit in pain, Brandon had to catch his breath before he kept the battle going, but he also knew that he was not going to win in the state he was in... It was time to take the simulation up to the next level. Gritting his teeth, the ground around him began to rumble...
His bracelet started to glow before Brandons energy level started to climb quickly. The ground slowly started to shaker harder and harder, threatening to split the ground apart. His Bracelet then seemingly burst apart, and slowly mutated into a fingerless gauntlet, as Brandons energy level had doubled!
Looking back at Zero, Brandon growled at him then suddenly lunged towards him, shouting "FUS RO DAH!". Another attempt to send Zero Flying...

As expected, the bullet tore through the man's shoulder. The sharp pain and concussive impact forced his opponent to stagger back with a yelp, deactivating his shield, and fall to the ground. The sky continued to churn and roar. The thunder clouds exchanged lightning, illuminating the android's cold visage in the shadow of the night. Droplets of rain crawl down his face, simulating the tears of a mortal, though his face was as stern and unemotional as ever. Model Zero stood still, observing the man as he groveled in the dirt. This may be a simulated fight, but all the sensations were quite real. People had been said to die from the mere shock of excruciating pain, though, once the simulator was deactivated, all of the injuries would vanish along with the grim scenery. The android awaited the man's response. It was probable he would soon log out and forfeit the fight, then, Ivan could finish his deal with the contractors and get paid in a lump sum of cash.
Blood oozed from his opponent's injury as Zero watched with his saber in the right and pistol in the left. Suddenly, the ground began to shake and Zero became alert once more. It appeared his opponent still had some fight left in him. Commendable, he thought. Model Zero was forced to adopt a wider stance or the tremor of the ground would swipe him off his feet. Eyes still slanted on his adversary, the man's facial expression appeared feral and angry. The bracelet on his hand began to resonate and glow a deep red as the man's power level spiked. Zero's scouter blared, and he watched as the digits continued to rise exponentially. The bracelet soon shattered and morphed into what seemed like a finger-less gauntlet with that same jewel at its center. The android had been correct in his original inference. The jewel was the source of this man's power. By the time the gauntlet had finished forming onto his hand, the man's power level stops in an instant, now twice as high as it used to be.
The man stood and lunged at the android. Zero braced himself, though all he could do in the moment was place his sword across him defensively before the man unleashed a tameless growl from the deepest bowels of his being. Zero intended to shoot him again, leveling the pistol at his target, but he was soon overwhelmed by the man's bizarre attack. It was the same move he had used just moments ago, but now it was much MUCH more powerful. "FUS RO DAH!" he roared with the sound of thunder ruminating in the skies. Zero was dragged back against the ground, imprinting a trail of his displacement on the soil. His hair fluttered frantically behind him as he attempted to resist the blast, but his opponent's power was far above his own at the current moment. Before long, in seconds, the android was swept off his feet and propelled back into the troubled sky. Steam rose from the seams of his armor as he descended from above. Tucking his knees to his chest, he rotates the position of his body so he can land with his feet on the ground. The android peered at the gauntlet in the man's hand. His curiosity had been piked by the individual. The android wondered if he could obtain that power if he were to wear it.
Landing on the ground, the android immediately raises his pistol and shoots three individual bullets at his opponent. He could easily match his opponent's new found power, but first he needed to find time to remove his heavy weights.

Seeing that his shout was successful this time, Brandon smirked as he watched the android girl raise her pistol again and fired more shots at him. "Nows the time to start with the firepower..." He thought, as he merely side stepped the shots and glared at Zero.
He then cupped his hands to his sides, as he said "kamehame....", as a large bright ball of red energy formed in his hands. It grew in size and intensity, before he thrusted his hands forward, shouting "...HA!".
The energy in his hands exploded into a large beam that soared towards Zero. Its power tore up the ground underneath it, as it seemingly picked up speeds as it sored towards the Android.

Three individual bullets of highly condensed energy ripple through the air in search to make contact with his opponent. However, Zero never intended to actually harm the man, only distract. He already knew, based on the man's power-level, that he stood no chance against his adversary under the current conditions. As expected, the man side stepped each bullet without much effort. His pistol carried a lot of power, but despite it's lightning-like speed, it was well within the reaction time of many capable warriors; even more so for his opponent who was now far above his own power-level. Brandon took his time to casually evade the bullets, the perfect amount of time to quickly remove his weights. Gun still in hand, he awkwardly places his hand on his chest and pushes inward. Ivan had placed a switch on the center of Zero's jacket which would help him remove the weights instantly whenever in need to use his full power. Of course, he could simply ascend to his override, but something within him was urging him to take the more challenging path. If he transformed, it wouldn't be much of a fight.
By the time his weights became unbound to his body and fell to the floor, the man had cupped his hands back and begun to chant the words of an attack that sounded so familiar to the android despite it being the first time he hears it. There was no recollection of such an attack in his memory bank, which made it increasingly odd. Perhaps it had to do with that person who would occasionally see whenever Ivan shuts him off for maintenance. Regardless, having removed his heavy weights, he was now at full power -though, being an android, his opponent wouldn't have noticed the difference. A smirk crosses the android's lips as he charges forward, straight towards his opponent as he finishes chanting the name of his attack. "...HA!" He roars, pushing his cupped hands forward. The sphere of red energy that had been ruminating in his hands burst forward in a wave of energy large enough to engulf the android's entire body. If he had not removed his heavy weights, it would have dealt some serious damage to the android, but now they were on equal footing once more.
The beam of energy burrowed through the ground, ransacking the battlefield and blowing away anything within five feet, while disintegrating everything it touched. Model Zero continued to run straight ahead, towards the beam's center with his pistol on the left and saber on the right. Five feet away from the beam of pulsating energy, Zero turns on his heels and propels himself curving towards the right while rotating horizontally. The energy wave passes by him, inches apart, as the android runs along its side. In the short time observing the Kamehameha wave, he already determined it's fatal flaw and his opponent's poor execution of the attack. First, it took too long to charge, giving the enemy time to prepare for the incoming attack; not to mention, he graciously provided a verbal advent of the technique, letting Zero know that he was indeed preparing for an attack and exactly when he was going to unleash the attack. Secondly, he had not taken the steps to secure his technique's success. Although the attack definitely packed in immense amount of power, because of it's flaws it should only be used on foes who are tired, handicapped, or somehow detained from any kind of movement.
Finally, while the user of such technique releases the wave of energy, they can no longer see anything in front of themselves. Their hands are completely occupied as well, and their backs exposed, he was extremely vulnerable to attacks. Further, to exalt on the facts he has analyzed, his opponents was fighting an android -meaning he could not sense Zero's presence. The man would be completely oblivious to the following attacks until it was too late. Rushing beside the energy wave, Zero levels his pistol at Brandon's exposed right leg and shoots for the thighs. After that first bullet, he would lunge forward and swing his saber at the gauntlet on his hand in an attempt to fracture it.

Zeros assumption that Brandon couldnt sense him coming was only partially correct. While being an Android, Brandon couldnt sense Zero not only becuase he was such, but because Brandon lacked the capabilities to sense any kind of energy at all.
So when Zero shot at Brandons leg, the shots hit home, causing Brandon to buckle and stop his attack. It was then he also saw the saber come down on his gauntlet. He feared the worst, but luckily Verlith had a better reaction time then him, and put up his red shield over Brandons arm, protecting it from the sabers edge, negating damage for now.
Brandon started to think, that if Zero was going for the kill, He might as well to as the spikes on Brandons gauntlet suddenly grew into longer points that pointed outwards. Soon, they began to arc with electricity as the weather started to go even worse.
Lightning struck all around them, as each strike seemed to get closer and closer to Zero, as if he was being targeted by them. Hopefully, they would distract him enough for Brandon to push through the pain in his leg and shoulder.... and ram the spiked weapon right into Zero. If he succeeded, Brandon would then proceed to give Zero a nasty shock from his Dragon Thunder technique.

Impressive, the android thought. His attack had been so perfectly executed, he had not expected his opponent capable of blocking his saber in time. Zero had awaited the blast inches -centimeters before impact to make it seem as though he would be engulfed by the Kamehameha Wave; when, in fact, he had skillfully maneuvered towards and side and sneak up on his adversary. There was no way his opponent could have possibly detected his presence unless he had some kind of scouter built into one of his eyes, they were the only things which revealed an android's geographical location. He had given himself away the moment he pulled the trigger of his pistol; however, it did not take away from the fact that his opponent was able to brave through the pain of a fresh new wound on his leg, enough to actually think and act on the nick of time. Any other biological creature would have been paralyzed by the bundles of nerves sending so many shock signals to the brain. Regardless, he still had the sense of mind to call upon that barrier, protecting his gauntlet. Said gauntlet was sturdy and capable of protecting the man's arm from incoming attacks. The fact that his opponent would go through such extent to protect it, verified -in his mind- that the gauntlet was definitely the source of his adversary's sudden burst of strength.
Notable, the android had been aware of the thunder brewing within the clouds, but he had not been prepared for one such as this. Moments after his attack, as Zero pulled back to prepare for a follow-up attack, lightning struck down mere inches from his feet. Just a few seconds later and it might have actually struck him. The light was fierce and blindingly bright. It burrowed through the land and cast a thin sheet of debris scattering radially from the impact. Steam surged from the scorched ground he now stood upon, and the lightning strike, had -in fact- distracted the android. The fact that the lightning had been so conveniently close meant it was not a natural simulation, meaning it must have been artificially produced by his opponent. Through the sheet of dirt that riddled the air, his opponent billows out with his claws stretched out. Admirable, he thought. Not only had his adversary surpassed his mortal boundaries, he had extended himself further. Despite the underlying weakness that now rang through the human's body, he was able to think strategically; casting lightning as a distraction and lunging toward him in a desperate move to cause serious damage. With that said, perhaps it was that very weakness eating away at the man's performance which gave the android just enough time to activate his own barrier.
In the nick of time, his claw must have been millimeters away as the jewel embedded into Zero's helmet resonated, similar to his opponent's bracelet. Immediately after, a red destructive barrier burst outward from the center of his outstretched body. The difference between his barrier and the human's was fundamental. While the human's barrier had elastic properties which allowed him to manipulate it in different shapes, granting him sub-abilities -like grabbing onto the android's saber; Zero's barrier was ultimately round and extended up to five feet around his body in a destructive pulse. They say a round shape provides optimal shock resistance; that was the idea behind the design, the best offense is defense as the round shaped barrier extends -not only to block and deflect incoming attacks, but to inflict damage in the process. The blackened land beneath them would soon deteriorate under the pressure of Zero's barrier, imprinting the barrier's round shape on its depressed surface.
Jumping out of the crater and onto higher ground, the android brings his sword out in front as the cloud of dust begins to settle in the air. He is ever so alert. Although his eyes could not, at the moment, see his opponent, he could detect his location thanks to the built-in scouter. His body hid sideways behind the saber to reduce how much was exposed, with his other hand resting behind his body with fingers stilled on the trigger of his gun. Clenching his teeth, there was a disturbance in the air which he could not readily describe. After experiencing so many battles, he had the presence of mind to search for any lacerations. Looking down at his stomach, the source of his disturbance, he found a wound about a half-inch deep. Noted, he thought. It appeared he had reacted a bit too late and his opponent managed to successfully injure his body. Red liquid oozed out of the wound and slowly crawled down his slender body. The android raised his gaze once more, his eyes focused on the man before him.

Brandon grinned as he finally got to hurt his opponent, but when he saw the glowing gem on the forehead, He knew something was up. When his own barrier came up, Brandon leapt backwards as quickly as he could. However he wouldnt be quick enough, as Zero's barrier would somewhat burn Brandons arm as he skimmed off the edge of it. "Gah!" He said as he looked at the skin on his arm. The hairs were burnt clean off, and some of his skin was covered in some dirt and he could smell some burning hair. It was gross.
It was then Brandons luck had gotten worse. His transformation time had reached its end, making the gauntlet reform its shape back into its bracelet form, causing his energy level to drop to what it originally had been before.
But that was not all...
Brandons blood loss was also getting to him as he grew dizzy. Crimson liquid leaked from his leg and shoulder as Brandon fell to one knee. "Terminating Simulation due to injuries. Contacting Emergency services." Brandon heard Aeva say, as the Image of 'Zero' was frozen, and vanished all together as the simulation was terminated. Blood covered the floor as Brandon panted hard.
"Damn it...Aeva... I almost... had him." He said, frustrated that he was yet to win a single battle. "Sorry Brandon, you have suffered too much blood loss. Its time to get you into a healing pod." She replied, as Brandon summoned up the strength to limp out of the Simulation room. "Fine... Fine..." He grunted...
Who was his opponent? Was it really an android? It was so tactful and deadly, it couldnt of been generated by Aeva....

As the thin layer of debris dispersed in the air, the silhouette of his opponent emerged. The man had been on one knee, his chest heaving as blood trickled from his wounds. His gauntlet had reverted to that peculiar bracelet and his power-level stooped down lower than ever before. If the android had any doubts about the bracelet whatsoever, they were now vanquished. He was now certain that the bracelet unlocked some kind of power within the human. However, it was still not enough to defeat him. Zero had not even ascended before the battle was over, and most of his techniques remained hidden. In the entire battle he had only revealed his athleticism, his saber, his pistol, and his barrier. Having had his share of battles against biological creatures, his body remained still and steady with saber readily leveled at his opponent. It was in these bleak moments when mortals seemed to do the impossible. Zero would not be fooled again -or so he thought... Although the android fully expected his adversary to stand back up, the image of the man and his surroundings froze.
Everything became quiet. His chest was no longer expanding and retracting. The droplets of rain hung still before his eyes and lightning was painted amongst the clouds. The blades of grass were frozen, bent, just as the wind rushed over them. Time had completely stopped for everything except the android, promptly after, his surroundings disintegrated into tiny particles. Suddenly, he was back in the training chamber, staring at a blank domed wall. All the destruction they had caused; the scorched land, the craters, it was all gone. His hair was dry again, no longer drenched from the rain, and his appearance was back to normal. The only thing that traveled back with him were the wounds his opponent had inflicted. Zero's tense body soothed to the absence of danger and stowed away his weapons efficiently. He gazed at the ceiling, awaiting his masters orders.
"Well done Zero," Ivan buzzed in through the speakers. All the foreign interference from the human's friend had ceased with the simulation and they had unhindered access to their computers. There were no longer big, bold letters with silly questions and statements. The scientist was not about to stress himself over some clown program, especially when it never posed much of a threat. A door slid open within the chamber, "you can go ahead and start repairing yourself in the next chamber. Await further orders," he said. After that, the mike became silent and Model Zero headed towards the exit. Turning on his chair, Ivan addressed their contractors. "Well, I think this concludes our participation." The business men grudge, seemingly unsatisfied with the results. Ivan continued, "It wasn't a perfect session as we expected, but that was not our fault. Your software is fabulous and it's interface impeccable. However, none of this would have occurred if you focused a bit more on security. If you had sold this to your consumers, not only would you lose customers, but you would have lines of angry men and women demanding for refunds. I think I just saved your company from bankruptcy. Therefore," extending his hand outward, "I expect something of equal value as compensation."
The contractors sigh.
