Fighting Against the Champion (Conri Lane/10x Gravity)

[Conri Lane]

There didn't seem to be much movement from Zero after his little run and gun maneuver that he had just pulled, which likely meant it was more to distract him than harm him. Well, that was fine, there was a way for him to fight even with the android's tricks as well. With the power of his psychokinesis being charged to the extent it was, he unleashed the wave of his powers and felt the release of such power drain his mind heartily. It was such an odd sensation being so restricted in battle again, he'd been so used to being able to used his psychokinetic powers more freely, but that wasn't important now. He closed his eyes and concentrated on the sounds that would be following that burst of power, the first was obviously the section of floor that he had uprooted being hurled into the wall with incredible force.

Now it was time to wait for his opponent to drop to the ground, and while he waited for that, he began to prepare another attack. This time his Masenko wouldn't be used as a distraction, but rather as the attacking force. Taking his time with gathering the energy this time, he needed to make sure that he waited for the right moment to unleash his attack to make it as difficult as possible to evade. There was a trick to this fight and he would need to utilize his abilities in just the right manner to figure it out, but it wouldn't be too hard. His mind was already going through the process for it, and he had a plan for if this didn't work that would allow him to compensate for his lack of sight. Keeping completely still he continued to gather Ki into his hands moving it to over his head and waiting for the right moment to unleash it upon his enemy.

He did need to decide what he wanted to do with this though, did he want to put all this to an end and reveal his hand at the moment? Would it be better to try and keep drawing it out? It was hard for him to decide which way was more appropriate right now, but he supposed he would give it a bit more time before making his decision. Now, he would get to see how the android responded to that last burst from him.

(Blargh, sorry it took so long, trying to figure out ways to work this is hard)

[Man]

Man's hands slid dumb over the ground, feeling his way towards the handle he searched. The numbers continued to swell moderately. Alert! the letters spread and flashed bright red from the corner of his vision. He could hear it, but he didn't know what it was. The sound was like that of a whisper; the birth of a storm in its simplest state. The rising figures screeched to an incredulous halt, and with that Man stood to his guns straight and erect with eyes slanted on the far off figure he could not see. It was coming, he thought. Whatever it was, Conri was done charging his attack and he was about to unleash it. But what were the chances that he would know where Man stood? He had been as careful as possible to veil his presence, was it a bluff? He could feel the ground shiver below his feet, warning him of an inescapable truth. He had been expecting to see the glow of Conri's attack, but there was none, instead he heard the sound of drums drawing increasingly nearer. Man un-clipped his pistol from its belt and shot at the air. The radiant bolt of energy slit through the darkness as a beacon of light before it began to slow down and regress backwards.

Man's eyes widened. How did the saiyan know where he was? The android expeditiously leapt to the sides in an attempt to bypass the blast, but he was inevitably caught airborne and set aback by an overwhelming force. Hurled into the witless abyss, he guessed at when his legs would meet the ground. While in the air his scouter maintained a close eye on Conri's whereabouts. Clank! the sound of metallic debris reaching the boundary line rang throughout the chamber, giving him an estimate of when he would reach such an extreme. Man moved about in the air, preparing his feet to land squarely against the oblong walls. Tink! another sound, an important sound echoed contiguously. His saber's handle! Man turns his body so it would face the direction from where originated. His legs bent with the wall as his feet made contact and languished its structure. At an angle, he impulses his body forward and uses the force of Conri's attack to sprint down the slope of the wall. Man closes his eyes and imagines the handle falling. As he approaches, something clatters on the ground and he reached out, snatching the cylindrical object before it receded back into its inert and listless state.

Got it! He thought. The design of the object in his hands were so familiar, he knew it was his handle. But Conri's energy signature was beginning to rise once more. By now, the saiyan was sure to have detected his presence, but stopping now would only waste all the momentum he had gathered thus far. Man dashed off the wall; transitioning to the floor with body arched to the side. He races towards the center of the room -where the saiyan's energy emanated from. The green blade of his saber objectified through the encoded energy within his engineered shaft, he held it erect, hidden behind his body. His pistol on the other hand, he aims and shoots consecutively, one succeeding the other. It was time to step things up. The fight had just begun!

[Conri Lane]

His burst of energy had been successful in reaching out to the walls of the chamber, he was keeping track of the sounds all around him and waiting for the right one. Should it be heard then he would be ready to unleash everything at it, if the android would continue to hide, then he would just make sure to throw out enough power to level everything around. That was the plan until he started to hear a small metallic clinking sound in the distance, something was there, but it didn't sound like the android's weight. Maybe he was over near it though, the only other thing he could think of in the room with them was the floor he'd ripped up and the weapons Zero had on him. Unless the flooring had suddenly become a lot lighter, which he doubted severely especially in this gravity. Speaking of which, he'd probably have to train a bit more later to compensate training in these higher gravities, especially since they were draining on his stamina.

Cracking his neck, he saw the sword light up for a moment before disappearing into the darkness once more, but this time it seemed that his android buddy was coming to him. Good, it was about time too, though since he was being fired at Conri would have to return fire, and with that he released his Masenko attack having held it back to mostly prevent it from lighting up the room. That didn't work so well now, as the beam raced across the room to meet the bullets that had been fired at him, but that was alright. The Half-Saiyan raced across the room to meet with his opponent, jumping at the last minute to bring down the heel of his foot onto his shoulder; putting all of his weight along with the gravity behind the kick.

Whatever Zero had to throw at him he would take it and throw everything he had in return, since his opponent was coming to him, there was no reason to not go on the offensive. Whether the kick hit or not, Conri was ready with another attack after that, aiming a bolt of lightning for Zero's head, but keeping the power down so that if it hit it wouldn't kill him.

[Man]

The figures stopped once again, a sign that the next attack was coming his way. However, he had not expected such an immense beam to resonate the way it did. The blast was over five in diameter and rocked the entire chamber with its incessant roar. The bright yellow glow emanating from it rivaled that of the sun's and illuminated the entire room. Man could feel the heat from yards away; he watched as the energy wave engulfed his bullets like a sponge. He pulled the breaks on his heels and veered to the right, escaping the blast's radius by a hair's breadth. The room flashed on and off with the fluctuating beam of light which continued to rage onward heedlessly. Man's scouter goes off again. He glances above. Conri's foot only feet away, they could see each other clearly during those few moments.

Unfortunately for the saiyan, his leg would meet air. Man dashed towards him, enveloped in a scarlet red light. The android would pass through Conri like a ghost and turn just as fast with his saber arched and ready to severe a sliver of his flesh. But the saiyan had already prepared a follow up and countered with a lightning bolt. Man thrust downward, clashing with the bundle of electricity. Sparks flickered sporadically, the two forces locked in the span of a breath before Man was able to redirect the blast towards the ground beside them. Landing at an arm's length, only his toes had reached the platform before he lunged forward with his second thrust. Man looked up to meet the saiyan's eyes one last time before the light finally vanished and they were enveloped in darkness once again. After that, it was only a bright green blade moving on its own without an owner.

Man's first thrust was aimed towards the saiyan's right shoulder in an attempt to disable him and then continue onward with continuous strikes hoping to see the blood reflected from his saber. He made sure not to make any deadly blows as it was a spar. Suddenly, throughout Man's assault, a hissing and screeching sound reverberates in the domed chamber from end to end. "Don't worry Conri!" Ivan teased, "we have plenty rejuvenation tanks to heal those poor wounds!"

[Conri Lane]

When his leg met air he was already prepared to react to it, and shifted his body around so that it was easier to launch the second attack. Though that had been deflected by the saber and the darkness had returned as he took a stab at the Half-Saiyan now, but the android wouldn't find it so easy to do as he wished either. Moving his body slightly, the saber missed piercing his shoulder, but instead left a gash on it, blood flowing freely down his arm now filling the room with the scent of copper. With the barrage of stabs continuing, Conri made half-steps to avoid the full damage inflicted, instead his body now was covered with slashes along his body.

The sounds echoing through the chamber caused the Half-Saiyan to pause and attempt to grab the android's arm by the wrist, to stop his movements for the moment. It wasn't too hard, as he has seen the full length of the blade and hilt while the lights were still on and he had measured the distance in his mind, but whether it worked was a different matter. "Are you trying to taunt me or make me angry?" his tone was actually curious, as he had been keeping his aura in check for the most part, but now it was starting to flit to life with those words. Flowing from his body like living electricity, causing a faint glow to form around him, as he looked at the area where he had entered the room as that was something he wouldn't forget.

"If you are, I'll have to tell you that it's a bad idea and that if you make me angry that I can't guarantee safety," there was no threat to his words, just a simple and honest statement. He looked in the direction of Zero, without warning his body shifted so that he was striking at the android, his open palm aiming for the the androids chin. From there he fired three Ki blasts from close range, before creating some distance between them and decided to alter the way he was fighting himself. Especially if that guy had just tried to provoke him, then he would have to show him why that was a generally bad idea, considering he'd been asked to come do this.

[Man]

Man's thrusts continued consecutively without remorse. One after the other, the green blade crossed the darkness diagonally, across, and then down. He could not physically see his opponent, but he could observe Conri's location through the coordinates on his scouter; he could hear the saiyan's movements as he evaded his saber, and he could feel and smell the blood dripping from his injuries. His saber passed like a lantern and briefly illuminates the airborne blood in a green glow. As the speaker hissed, the android's onslaught was stopped at the wrist by an unforeseen hand. However, Man was duel-wielding and raised his other arm to aim at point blank. He was about to shoot, his fingers half-way through the trigger, but he was interrupted by the saiyan's need to speak.

Suddenly, Conri's body began to emit a faint glow. Man could've sworn he saw electricity spark along his body for a second before the saiyan's hand was hovering over his face. Man grimaced and pulled the trigger, promptly after, he was ransacked by a barrage of energy blasts and sent amuck. His body took flight without rhyme or reason, but Man always landed on his feet. Having created distance between them, Man allowed for the blade of his saber to disperse so he could no longer be tracked and observed. Conri's power-level had increased slightly.

"Now you went and got him mad, what was the point of doing that?" The doctor protested. Ivan had removed his hands from the speaker button so they were no longer broadcasting. The scientist turned, met with the concerned faces of all his aides glancing at him with great worry.

"Because," Ivan explained, "Zero was winning." The doctor looked at him incomprehensibly. The silence in the room implied they wanted the scientist to elaborate, and that he would: "The point of this experiment is to simulate an actual battle between Model Zero and a saiyan without risking the android and jeopardizing our goals. We all know Zero can't defeat Conri, not yet, and Zero knows this as-well. The fact that he has been able to injure the saiyan means that Conri is holding back -and if the saiyan is holding back, then we are gaining absolutely nothing from this encounter other than exercising the monkey's muscles and exhausting the fortuity of our gravity chamber. Zero's experience is the most important factor, and ensuring he gets a beating now will make it so he can prepare for it later."

"Yes, but Ivan, remember we are dealing with a saiyan here. He is incredibly unpredictable. Anger him too much and he will destroy our entire facilities!" The doctor countered, "And Zero-"

"And Zero is part-saiyan too, is he not, Doctor?" Ivan smirked, "He may not be aware of it, but you and I have evaluated this android from every dimension possible. It is conceivable that we may be able to tap into some of that innate power possessed only by saiyans. Theoretically speaking, he should still have some degree of his biological components active; after all, even Zero lived like a normal being once."

"I suppose so..." the doctor sighed.

[Conri Lane]

Taking deep breaths, he calmed himself down again knowing that getting angry would only ruin this opportunity for the moment, and he was going to take advantage of it as much as he could. His stamina was starting to drop a bit from the fighting that had been going on along with the intensity of the gravity chamber, he had a way to be able to fight longer but he disliked overwhelming a weaker opponent in a non-life or death situation. The shot that had been fired after his attack against Zero had grazed his cheek leaving a scorch mark under his left eye, and he had lost sight of Zero with the android turning off his saber once more. It seemed that they were going to be back to playing hide and seek against each other now, but before that he would have a question for his opponent.

"So, Zero, is that guy always such a dickhole or is today a special occasion?" a slight smirk formed as he glanced towards the outer walls of the gravity chamber, he would need to do better at not letting people like the doctor get under his skin. Instead, he would need to keep his calm a lot more simply for professionalism, after all if he was to be a person for hire he couldn't let little things push his buttons. There were several ways that he could handle it, but he was trying to think of the most appropriate for the situation. Especially now that he had been taunted, something definitely felt off to him, they had wanted to get some readings for the Android and mentioned this would be a spar. Suddenly they wanted him to become angered to try and use more of his power? That kind of defeated the purpose of a spar, which was putting him a bit on edge with this whole place now.

"Then again, maybe I should demand an apology as well. I mean, I am the Champion of the Galactic Tournament and you're trying to insult me after asking me to come here?" he shrugged his shoulders slightly, wondering just how the head guy was taking his words. He kept his tone at a level that made it hard to tell if he was joking or not, waiting to hear the reaction from the man. From there he would decide what he would do, so depending on how the scientist reacted it could go very well for him or very bad.

[Man]

Man remained hidden, monitoring the saiyan's vacillating power. For a moment it appeared as if he were about to burst. Man gripped his pistol, readily waiting for the cue to attack and evade. But instead, the boiling water evaporated on its own and cooled down with the air. Conri's rising energy signature waned back into its stable state. Man eased down and lowered his gun. He wondered why the saiyan would engage into conversation during a fight. Perhaps he wanted to stall and give his body time to regain its energy. After all, he may not know it, but androids do not tire; it was arguably Man's best feat. As an android, he required no sleep, no food or water, no toys, no addictions, he was a self-sustaining device. The perfect soldier. However, he had yet to be worthy of being called a 'perfect fighter'. He was far from the strongest warrior, probably wouldn't have gotten past the first round of the Intergalactic Tournament. And he also relied on his scientists to fix him whenever he lost a screw or two.

Man raised an eyebrow. "Define Dickhole," he asked. His voice resounded throughout the cold chamber. Conri may or may not have noticed, but Man's question was as genuine and sincere as it could possibly get. He was unfamiliar with the urban term and its use; the word's derogatory nature and the complex dynamism of mortal conversation were lost to him. The saiyan continued to speak, but Man could not say a word. He felt he was required to say something, but he didn't know what he was supposed to say. So he remained silent. The room suddenly became darker. Not a sound was made for those few moments. The scientists clearly did not intend on taking back what had been said. If they did, it would defeat the purpose of taunting Conri.

[Conri Lane]

When asked to define what a dickhole was, he was a bit taken back by that, but then again this guy was an android. Still, if they wanted him to integrate properly and not stand out so much from a regular group they should bring him up to speed on these things. "Let's see...generally someone that is rude, and often annoying, doing things like insulting others a lot and what have you," it was the best explanation he could come up with on the spot. He'd have to take the time to think more of a proper definition, he just generally went with instinct on what type of person was a dickhole or not, as the word would be the first top pop into his head for them. Shrugging his shoulders, he figured it would get the general idea across to the Android, at least he hoped that it did.

"Hm," he began to think of what he might want to do at this juncture now, given that the scientist had just thrown an insult at him. Well, he could always ask a question from the Android and see what he thought about the situation as a whole, "Did you happen to watch the final match of the tournament, Zero?" If he got the answer that he was expecting, he had a few more questions to ask as follow up for the android, and then he would see if the machine understood what was important between two warriors on the battlefield. If he did then maybe he could get the android to understand a few more things about him as well, but that would have to wait to be seen. Maybe he could teach this Model Zero a thing or two about what was important in battle, they wanted something from him, but Conri could always add some of his own influence into the mix. It might be fun to see how the android responded to the things he had to say in the long run, especially if it helped him to screw with that Ivan guy a bit.

"I suppose I should ask you this as well, do you consider yourself a warrior or a fighter?" he posed the question, curious to hear the response from his opponent. Perhaps this android would give him a bit of a surprise with its answer, then again depending on the scientists knowledge, he might not know what the difference between the two of those was and he'd need to explain.

[Man]

Rude, annoying, insulting; these were the characteristics of a dickhole, according to the saiyan. Man registered it into his databases and internalized its definition. Ivan and the Doctor were nothing like that, he thought. In every sequence of memory in which he revisited his master's actions and behaviors, he had observed humbleness and refinement; even now, Ivan had put the saiyan's heart at ease by informing him of their various healing facilities. The next question, however, was a bit more difficult to answer. Technically, he had been present for the final round, but he only remembered the beginning of the battle. Promptly after throwing a large ball into the sky, the saiyan's body began to morph and grow into that of a Giant Ape. Man looked at the sky to study the ball of energy. Soon after, he blacked out even with the invisible barrier blocking out the Blutz Waves from the audience.

"A little..." Man finally replied. The truth was, he had only seen the very beginning of the match, but nobody had begun attacking anyone yet. The last thing he remembered seeing were the red glowing eyes of that raging ape which roared within his subconsciousness. Man furrowed his eyebrows, wondering why he had forgotten about that until now. Next, he was asked to classify himself between a fighter and a warrior. However, he struggled to find an answer. He could not discern the difference between the two terms as they seemed so closely linked together. If there were any difference between them, it would have to be their reasons for fighting. When thinking about the Fighter, boxers and martial artists came to mind. In that sense, almost everyone in the tournament were fighters. They compete because, according to King Arctic, they enjoyed beating each other up. However, a Warrior is usually associated throughout history by some kind of hero who faced his end against all odds whether he succeeded or not; a martyr. They don't necessarily fight because they like it, but because they feel some sense of duty towards it. If these were the definitions by which Conri was referring to; then Man didn't fit in either.

After much introspection, the android returned back to the present where he caught himself staring steadily towards the ground. The saiyan had been waiting patiently, his energy remained leveled throughout the entire conversation. "I'm a soldier," he replied. All Man did was follow orders. He didn't care about the reasons, he possessed no consciousness to make him stop and rethink, he had nothing to gain or lose, all he knew was that Ivan was his master and his sole purpose for existing in this world was to serve the living. But then again, even that didn't quite fit the picture. Soldier's served their country, they held a sense of patriotism which did not exist within an android. They may not enjoy the tasks which they were forced to uphold, but they had a reason to see it through to the end. Without that reason, not a soul could govern their will. Man lacked that will, that reason, because he had no needs or desires. He was just a machine destined to serve as a means to an end. And his lack of consciousness could never allow him to evaluate that and search for something which did not exist in his programming; identity.

[Conri Lane]

It seemed that the android was going to be quiet for a while, he supposed if he didn't understand something like the word dickhole, then taunting was also not in his repertoire. Oh well, he supposed he got an answer to his other questions then, that meant that he would just have to show the differences between the two types of people. A quick demonstration of it all was probably in order then so that these scientists wouldn't make the same mistake again, which was something important that they needed to learn. "Okay, so you probably don't know the important things to know about me and you say you're a soldier, which explains a few things," he spoke in return. Though it was more in an offhanded manner, thinking to himself about how best to approach this situation so that he could make his point clear.

To start with he would show them a bit more of his power, but he wouldn't be showing them the full amount that he possessed that was reserved for those he respected. Planting his feet, his aura came to life once more and this time stayed in effect as the energy sparked out into the air around him, it was time for him to raise his power level to a more appropriate level. His power pushed away the air around him violently as it rose to a new height for this battle, stopping at thirty thousand exactly before stopping its sharp climb. His body felt better now that he was using more of his power, his mind felt much better as well, this was the more natural state for him to be in so that he could still fight more effectively. Those clothes were a big help in increasing his power, but were also a bit of a pain with how they restricted him.

"Alright, let's do a few more exchanges and see if you can understand what I'm talking about then," he shifted into a fighting stance, from here he would be showing Zero something that he probably wouldn't understand. Still, maybe it would start the android into developing his own personality, especially if they wanted him to be effective at whatever was his job. If he couldn't learn and adapt he would never rise above anyone else, that was the truth of the universe as it came, there was no perfect program.

"Come at me when you're ready," he told Zero, this time there was a much more confident tone to it.

[Man]

From the abyssal darkness emerged powerful and sporadic winds whooshing past him like a gale of shadows. He covered his face from the typhoon with an arm and squint his eyes. Man stood witness as the saiyan's power rose to heights which were unreachable for him. He had already been in his Override state for some while and it has only served to aid him in survival. His scouter read a solid thirty thousand power-level; Conri was becoming serious, but even then he was holding back his immense strength. Man could still remember the shrill sensation caused by the saiyan's great ape transformation during the final round of the Intergalactic Tournament. The power emanating from him was surpassed by only one -and that person was Wrath. The android slid his feet back carefully and bent his knees in a slightly crouched position.

"Hahaha!" Ivan laughed vigorously across the room as he watched the monitor. The fighters couldn't hear him, he didn't want to push the saiyan too far and have him blow his entire facilities. However, the Doctor and their aides were beginning too think that his little taunt had already sealed their fate. They stood in their chairs with trembling fingers writing down scientific data. Their faces were grim. "This is where the show begins!" The scientist said.

"Come at me when you are ready."

The thought of attempting to fight him head on was inconceivable, he thought. Numbers do not lie -and with his odds, Man failed to see what it was that the saiyan wanted to demonstrate when he already knew the past, present, and future. Nevertheless, Man gripped his pistol and aimed it at the figure from afar. His plan was to revert back to long-distance fighting where it was more feasible to believe that he possessed a remote possibility of grazing his opponent. The android would commence by aggravating and eluding the saiyan with energy bullets as he swerved in the pit-less void. With each step he would approached the saiyan and summon his saber in the last second, where he would strike Conri's back and then strive to abscond like a phantom in the breeze.

[Conri Lane]

With his new power level in place all the stress and fatigue he felt lessened considerably, having forgotten how good it actually felt to fight closer to his full power. He might have to try fighting without the weights at some point to let his full power out for a test run, see how much stronger he had truly become since he purchased them. With the battle at hand though things seemed to be less bothering to him than they had been moments before, even all the slashes he had taken were hurting less now. Flexing his hands he noticed that they were reacting faster to his demands and a smirk spread across his lips, he was going to enjoy this next part. He would have to be a gracious guest and thank his hosts properly for this opportunity.

When Zero did begin his attack he noticed that the blasts seemed to be moving slower than before, of course he knew they weren't and that it was just his perception becoming sharper. Still, it was kind of fun and he was going to prove a point to the person that decided taunting him was a good idea. He didn't move from his spot and instead fired a Ki Blast of his own following the pattern of bullets point for point as small explosions erupted from the colliding energies. Although he let about three get through and hit him directly, trying to gauge the strength of his opponent to how he was now, and while they packed a punch it wasn't serious damage. He couldn't quite gauge the exact power but it was having less of an effect than it was before this moment.

Despite the wounds he had taken earlier, he seemed to be full of energy once more thanks to that increase to his power, and the hairs on the back of his head alerted him to something behind him. He didn't know what it was or where it was coming from, but his intuition told him to move and he did what he said by leaping straight into the air and letting his feet hit the ceiling of the gravity chamber. Launching himself a distance away from the place he had been moments ago, and landed with a loud thud thanks to the increased speed of descent from the gravity.

"Not too shabby overall, Zero. I have an interesting trick to show you though, so hold still for four minutes while I prepare. Don't worry, I don't have any intention of taking a cheap shot at you," he figured it would be better to try to get the android comply for a few minutes, as he started to gather more electrical energy than he had the first time he used his electrokinesis. Focusing and slowly drawing it towards his hands, while concentrating the energy.

Charge 1

[Man]

(Sorry for taking so long, haven't been feeling so great. Hopefully, posting will gradually give me a kick start.)

Bullet for bullet, they imploded and spread flickering light throughout the entire chamber. Man traveled in large leaps from one blast to the next as he made his way to Conri's back. The saiyan was sidetracked by his energy bullets as expected and ostensibly unaware of his presence. But in that last step, Man lunged forward, pulling his saber from behind with all the momentum it carried and diced through the air, where the saiyan once stood. Man gazed towards the roof. How did he know? The android wondered. There was no way he could have detected the android's presence unless he wore a scouter -or so he reasoned-. He was just about ready to pull the trigger and prepare another assault, when the saiyan echoed an odd request. He began to channel his energy like before, while asking Man to stand by. The saiyan had no reason to deceive, Man thought. His power-level was already at an overwhelming level on its own, and the battle was set in the context of a spar. Therefore, Man decided to comply with his request and lowered his pistol. Under different circumstances, he would have never done such a similar thing.

[Conri Lane]

When there was no sound from his opponent, he took that as a sign that he could continue and nodded his head slightly, this would be a good show. Especially for those viewers watching at home, who had no idea what was likely to happen once he had fully charged this attack to its fullest potential. Concentrating his mind he continued to draw electricity to himself, taking more and more away from the surrounding area, making sure to keep it tightly reigned in. Although, he was curious about something now as well, and supposed he could ask some questions to kill time until he was ready to unleash his neat little trick.

"Hey Zero, when were you created?" he figured he could start things out small, and work up to other more complicated questions. He didn't really want to drag things out, but unless he could figure a way to charge attacks faster this was all he could do for the time being. Still, maybe he could gain something useful from the android's answers. The lightning was slowly building up to a level where it was visibly lighting the area ten feet around him now, glowing quite brightly.

He supposed he could let it charge up for one more minute, but would it have the effect that he wanted if it wasn't the full amount of time? It was hard to figure out how this would work since it wasn't exactly something that he tried before, so this was essentially an experiment to see what would happen. This could be seen as either science or insanity, right now he was fine with either really, a bit of insanity was good for everybody.

Charge 2
