The flat plains of Earth that can usually be found in a forest clearing or near mountain sides. Though sometimes there can be lakes or rivers spread out around the areas.
These make great places to meditate, and are usually worthless hiding spots.

Since they'd left through the west side of Hercule City, Ian had sprinted out into the open fields beyond even the suburbs of the city. He came to a stop in a fairly level area. A few small rocks and a couple of large boulders could be seen at various points and distances around them. "Alright, Raynak. Hop off and get ready. I'm gonna take a moment to catch my breath and then we'll throw down." Ian looks up over his shoulder and gives a thumbs up at that.

Raynak nods, somersaulting off of Ian's shoulders, and landing a few feet in front of him. Smirking, Raynak returns the thumb's up....
"Alright then! Get ready! I wanna see what you got!"
Raynak begins to stretch at that, throwing off his robe.
"Just let me know now.... I don't wanna bring too much pain on ya!"

Ian takes off his shirt, revealing the weighted vest underneath. He rolls his head to one side, then the other, popping it. He cracks his knuckles and then clenches his fists, entering his stance. "Show me your best, Raynak! You get the first move!"

Raynak laughs at that....
"You'll regret it! Never let your foe strike first! You gotta take the intiative!"
At that, Raynak comes running in at Ian, and leaps into the air several feet above. He then comes barreling down with his right leg outstretched, aiming to kick Ian in the chest...
"Hi-yah!!"

Although wearing weights, Ian's skills aren't hindered enough to allow for such a flashy attack to get through his defenses. He brought up his left had and caught the small foot of his friend. He then jerked it to his side and brought a swift elbow up, aiming for Raynak's back.

2) "Oh snap! " Raynak was clearly thrown off by this, but keeps his cool. As his foot was caught, Raynak's senses kept track of Ian's follow up. Raynak stretches his right arm, grabbing hold of Ian's left shoulder as he tries to jerk him into his elbow. Pulling himself up, Raynak somersaults behind Ian, and attempts another kick. This time it being aimed for his back. A spinning roundhouse.

Quick and smooth. At least the kid has the stuff to back up hos mouth. Ian thought as he quickly threw his body sideways, spinning to face Raynak in mid-air. He brought his fist around and aimed a punch at Raynak's chest using the momentum of the spin for power.

Raynak couldn't do much in the air... So, the best he could do was cross-arm block the punch from Ian. Though, at the same time, Raynak's leg would stretch to kick Ian due to the gap being made from Ian's punch, and Raynak's short reach. It wouldn't pack much power, but it would snap into Ian's left hip, basically exchanging hits. Raynak would be sent sprawling back from the punch, but somersaults and lands on his feet.
Now with about 5 feet of distance between them, Raynak pulls down his left eyelid at Ian, sticking out his tounge. Taunting him.....
"Nyah! Is that all?!"

Ian scowls and frowns at Raynak, seeing his taunt. Ian's left eyebrow seemed to twitch at that. Witty or not, he's still an annoying, troublesome brat. Ian takes a quick step forward and swings a kick in a wide arc downwards towards Raynak's shoulder. "Byah!!"

Raynak braces himself as Ian comes in at him, taking note as he brought his leg back for the kick. As the kick comes, Raynak quickly ducks, curling into a ball of sorts, and rolls behind Ian. Creating more distance once again, Raynak taunts Ian.... This time sticking his butt out towards him, shaking it, and then smacking his butt a few times with right hand...
"Nah-Nah! You missed me! You gotta try harder than that Ian!"

Ian growled a bit as he turned around and was greeted by a rather rude pose from Raynak. Time for a change of methods. Ian quickly threw a ball of energy at Raynak's hind quarters while he was busy taunting.

"Owwie!! ;_;"
Clearly Raynak had let the taunting get the better of him..... As the ball hits it's mark... Raynak jumps into the air at that, holding his butt.
"You're gonna pay for that one!"
Regaining his composure, Raynak runs back in at Ian. He feints as if he's going to jump again, though instead, falls back into a baseball slide. Attempting to trip Ian up.

Ian cackled under his breath at his success. "Prove it!" Then came the slide. Ian actually did lose his balance, but only for a split second. The rest of his 'fall' he faked. At the last moment before his face would have hit the dirt he planted his hand underneath him and shoved himself into the air. He'd use his other hand to launch another ball of energy at Raynak as he finished his flip and landed on his feet.

As Raynak slid pass, he looked back as Ian caught himself and went to flip in the air. As the ki shot comes for him, Raynak rolls to his right, getting on one knee. As Ian was still in mid air, Raynak draws back his right fist, and hurls it at Ian's stomach. Of course stretching said arm to close the gap, hoping to catch him before he landed, altering his landing.
"Take that!"

Ian was quick to react to the oncoming attack. The hand he'd used to push off from the ground came upward and essentially swatted the attack to one side. It still managed to graze his side, causing him to throw off his momentum. He ended up landing on his side. He quickly rolled over and moved into push-up position before pulling his legs in underneath himself. He then kicked off with both legs, doing a lunging attack and swinging a punch for Raynak's chest.

"Aww damn.... Maybe I have been slackin' a bit....? But I do love me some ice cream ^_^b."
Raynak was a bit disheartened by Ian's skill, though he wouldn't let it discourage him too much. Besides, he enjoyed the rush of battle. Raynak quickly drew his arm back to him as Ian semi-parried the punch. As Ian lunged at him, Raynak falls back to the ground just as the punch comes for his chest. As he does, he prompts both feet to "kangaroo" kick Ian in the stomach with both his feet. In effect, trying to kick him over top of himself, in a sort of "tomoe" style throw.

Damn...the kid got me this time... I was too careless. Ian thinks as he feels both feet connect with his abdomen and throw him up and over. Ian hit the ground on his back since Raynak's kick had knocked him into an awkward front flip. He rolled over once again, coughing as he did, and got back to his feet. "Not bad. But it's clear you've been slacking!" Ian rushed forward again, swinging another simple punch down at Raynak's chest. He would release a blast of ki from his hand before his fist ever got close, though.

Raynak laughs as Ian is sent flying over top of him. Quickly getting to his feet, his smile fades as he hears Ian....
"What?! Y-You better ju-?! Hey!!"
Raynak is interupted by the unexpected ki blast, though gets his arms up to block. He is sent skidding back a few yards away from the force of the attack. He doesn't fall to the ground however, standing firm.
"Heh..... Not bad.... Not bad at all.... Maybe I have been slackin' a little... Just a little... But I can still get with the best of them!"
Raynak comes running back in to Ian now, and once within range, aims a one-two punch combination to his mid-section.

Ian smiled at Raynak. "I said you slacked off, not that you were pathetic. You're still a worthy opponent!" As the short green boy came at him with his attack, Ian dropped to both knees and crossed his arms in front of him to block the attack. Ian then opens his left palm and lets another energy blast fly forth at his friend.

Raynak smiled at that. Ian was a really cool guy, which was why they got along so well. As Ian blocked his punches, and attempted another ki blast, Raynak jumps straight up over it....
"Not this time! Take this!"
At that, Raynak interlocks his fingers and attempts an overhead, double-axe handle smash to the top of Ian's head.

Ian smirked through his defensive wall as Raynak leaped over him and came down with a fierce attack. He threw his momentum backward and launched both legs upward at the falling Namekian. His movement was quick and easy since he was already on the ground.

"Damnit! You punk!"
Raynak managed to get out as Ian had totally just ripped off his fighting style.... Catching him with the very same attack he had just scored on Ian not even 10 minutes ago. Flying over top Ian, Raynak comes crashing down back first. Rolling over to his side, Raynak gets to his feet, a smirk on his face....
"You totally just ripped that one off me! I won't let that happen again!"
Raynak then takes his own fighter's stance, signalling for Ian...
"Come on! It ain't over yet!"

Ian quickly got back to his feet laughing. "Haha...part of being a martial artist is learning new techniques and adapting to overcome your opponents. It just so happened that your own maneuver was the best suited to beat you, comrade."
"Hmph," Ian smirked again as he rushed forward again, pulling his fist back and beginning to take a swing in a very familiar manner. But this time he changed it up and brought his knee up, aiming to deliver a blow to Raynak's jaw. The punch was only a distraction.

"Yeah, yeah.... Just remember where you learned that greatness! I know what being a fighter is all about! I'll show you right now!"
As Ian came with his feint punch, Raynak lifted his arms to cross arm block. He fell for the fake punch, though his acute sense caught wind of the knee. Slightly adjusting his guard, Raynak takes the brunt of the knee to his defensive stance. As the knee connected to his arms, Raynak acts quickly, spinning to his right, while aiming a speedy low roundhouse kick aimed at Ian's leg that was still on the ground. Hoping to floor Ian by taking out his one standing leg.

Sh-Shit!!! Ian yelled mentally as Raynak spun off to the side and delivered a swift kick to the back of Ian's lower calf, kicking his leg out from under him. Ian hit the dirt flat on his back. Ian let out a heavy breath upon impact and then swung his elbow out to one side, aiming to hit Raynak, who was next to him, in the hip area or possibly the upper leg.

Raynak once again laughed at his success, though it was short lived as Ian catches him with a recovery elbow attack. Hit in his right hip area, Raynak staggers back several yards before falling to one knee....
"Aww damn... You just won't let me savor it will ya? Alright then! Time to turn it up a notch!"
Getting back to his feet, Raynak widens his stance, bringing up his right index and middle fingers up in front of him. Slanted upward, with the tips of said fingers pointing towards the sky. Gritting his teeth and baring them, a thin crimson ki aura envelops his fingers, the wind picking up around him.
"Time to show you my moves!"

Ian smirked at Raynak, "That's right. Enough warm-ups. Show me what you got, Raynak. If I want to be my best for the tournament then you'll have to be your best to make me that much stronger!"
Seeing Rayank gathering power, Ian quickly threw a ball of ki at his target. He didn't want to give him time to charge up an attack if he could prevent it. Or he could slow it down at least, couldn't he?

13) "Alright then! Don't say I didn't warn ya!" As Ian fired of his generic ki attack, Raynak fires his charged Finger Ray to intercept. Having charged it, it would have enough power to negate Ian's attack, and still come for him. It was aimed to hit Ian in the chest area. No worries though, about piercing effects, Raynak of course wouldn't be trying to hurt Ian. It'd sting, and possibly floor Ian once again if it hit, though that's about it. (OOC: Sorry bout earlier pimp. Some stuff came up and I couldn't make it. Also, I can't see the cbox now)

They were still fairly close, so Ian had minimal time to prepare for the ray being fired. He'd hoped that throwing the ki blast before would have broken his focus, but Raynak already had enough power to use the beam before Ian's blast was any trouble. Now Ian dove to his left and quickly tucked into a roll. The beam still grazed his shoulder, burning a streak across it painfully not to mention the follow-up explosion that knocked Ian out of the roll and flat onto the ground.
He grunted and growled as he got into a crouch, examining the damage quickly. His shoulder had taken a decent hit. It still hurt a fair amount and probably would for a while. Despite this he surged ki into his fist. "Not bad..." He sighed and smirked. Then he leaped into the air and came down at Raynak with a mighty Megaton Punch.
(OOC: No worries, bro. It happens. I was grumpy when I woke up though, lol, cause I didn't sleep a lot.)
