Ace threw his arms to his sides, clenching his fists. "But I'm not through yet!" He started to power up, gathering his ki as he did.

Ace's aura glowed brightly around him as he gathered more ki in his hands. "Alright, here we go again!" He threw both blasts at Mr. Popo, but failed miserably at hitting him again.

Ace gritted hsi teeth as he kept throwing ki blasts, throwing them faster now, ignoring the protest he got from his arms as he did so. "I can push through this!"

Ace's blasts started to fly off in wild directions, not even coming close to Mr. Popo as he continued to fire, but he didn't seem to notice.

Ace stopped firing for a moment to catch his breath, but only for a moment before he hurled another blast of ki at Popo.

Mr. Popo dodged it easily, stepping to the side. But he smiled. "Very good."
Ace grinned, but he didn't stop just yet.

Ace fired more ki blasts at Mr. Popo, but he started getting tricky, and firing them in awkward directions so Mr. Popo might accidetally move into one of them.

Ace was breathing even more heavily now, his arms aching and he was starting to sweat freely now, the high altitude making it diffucult to catch his breath.

Mr. Popo dodged another blast, smiling as he did. "You're very good, but not quite good enough."
Ace grinned. "So you think..."

Ace formed small orbs of ki at the end of his fingers, and threw all ten in a shotgun-like fashion at Mr. Popo, one of them catching him in his turban.

Ace flopped down to the ground. "Well... There's that, I guess..." he said, then laughed. "Harder than I thought..."

Mr. Popo smiled. "Very good," he said. "Very good indeed."
Ace smiled. "Yeah, I guess so..." he said.

Ace layed back for a moment, grinning slightly. "I guess when I recover my energy I'll feel a little stronger..." he said.

But Ace suddenly leaped to his feet. "Waitasecond! I just had a thought! I had an idea for a special technique a while back..."

Turning to Mr. Popo, Ace would start getting very excited. "Mister Popo, would you mind helping me perfect my technique?"

Mister Popo nodded. "Gladly. But first... If I may, can I get your name? It will make communication much easier."
"Oh! Right, it's Azrael Celsiin Ezekhael! But...just call me Ace."

"Well, if you say so, then, I will, Ace," Mister Popo said. "Now, what is this technique of yours?"
"Well, it's only a general idea, but..."

"The basic principle of the attack is to completely dodge any attack my opponent might use against me," Ace said, his right fist held up proudly.

"That seems very useful, but it doesn't seem like it will be easy to use at all."
"Well, that's where I need your help, Mister Popo."

Mister Popo nodded. "i suppose I can try and attack you and help you perfect dodging normally first, and then progress from there."
"Sounds great!"

"Alright then, Ace." Mister Popo pulled out his staff again. "Prepare yourself."
Ace dropped into a defensive stance and waited...

Mister Popo struck with his staf, blindingly fast, catching Ace in the shoulder and sending him spinning to the ground.
"Ouch... Man, you're fast..." Ace said, getting back to his feet.

"Alright, that didn't count!" Ace said. "Second try!" He took his stance again.
Mister Popo raised his staff above his head, spinning it in one hand.

Ace watched Mister Popo carefully, doing his best to keep track of his every move. And when he struck this time, he tried to dodge, but caught the staff in his chest instead of his shoulder.

"Agh... Damn, that stings..." Ace said. He hopped back to his feet. "Alright! Let's try again!"
Mister Popo smiled. "Alright, if you insist."

Ace took his stance again and just waited for Mister Popo's next move. And this time, whe the staff came, Ace nearly asvoided it completely.

But the staff still caught him in the tip of his shoulder, causing him to spin slightly in the direction the staff pushed him.

"Man... You're really good, Mister Popo..." Ace said, getting to his feet again. "I can see why you said your training was so diffucult..."

"Oh yes, it is very diffucult," Mister Popo said. "Only a few people have managed to complete it, and they all went on to become very powerful fighters."
Ace grinned. "Really now."

"A few of them were even the Z-Fighters of a thousand years ago," Mister Popo went on.
"Hely Hell..." Ace said, his eyes wide at that revelation.
