Ace grinned broadly. "Really?! That'd be fantastic!"
Noru nodded. "Alright, pay attention now... First, you must focus your ki around you. Making it visible or not is up to you."

"Then, you push some ki out in the direction you wish to go."
"Is it really that simple...?" Ace asked incredulously.

"Indeed it is." Noru floated a few inches off the ground again. "I assure you, no prestidigitation here."
"Hrmm... Alright... Let me try this..."

Ace focused on his ki for a moment, a light blue aura flaring up around him as he did. "Alright..." Slowly, he lifted an inch or so off the ground.

And after a few moments, he found he was level with Noru in height. "Whoa...awesome!" And the second he spoke, he dropped to the ground. "What the...?"

Noru touched down again and smiled slightly. "You must keep focus, or else you will fall. Which could be very bad at higher altitudes."
Ace nodded. "Makes sense..."

"Well, thanks for everything, Mister popo, Noru!" Ace said, smiling. "I'll come back to visit sometime, seeing as how you don't seem to get many visitors up here."

"That would be wonderful!" Mister Popo said, and Noru nodded in agreement.
Ace smiled, then turned toward the edge of the lookout. "Alright...be seein ya!" Sprinting forward, he leaped off the edge of the lookout.

Falling for several hundred feet, Ace grinned as he gathered his ki and then shot off like a rocket, heading straight down toward korin's Tower.

Ace flew up and over the edge of the lookout, landing softly and lookign around. "Mister Popo! You here?"
Mister Popo walked out after a moment and smiled. "Ah...good to see you again!"

"Good to see you again, too, Mister Popo. I just stopped in to say hey. Sorry I can't stay longer!" Ace turned around and took off from the lookout, dropping down out of sight.
"Come back any time!" Mister Popo called out.

Ace, with Shiro and Cacao along for the ride, flickered into view on the Lookout, and Ace immediately stumbled back a step. "Whoo boy..." he mumbled, hitting the ground on his ass. "Note to self...bringing passengers along is much, much more taxing on the mind..."
He put a hand to his head, groaning slightly. "Ah...man..."

Cacao stood perfectly still, seemingly remaining as perfectly calm as when Ace had started the teleportation process. But then she immediately collapsed to one knee, just barely managing to do so. Being tugged across the world for the first time wasn't the best of experiences, that much was sure...

After a few moments, Ace jumped back to his feet. Yeesh...you'd think Goku would've mentioned the whole 'passengers' part..." he mumbled, then just shook his head. "I'll get used to it." He looked around for a moment. "Guess Mister Popo and Noru are inside..."

"What...the hell...was that...?" Cacao spoke after a few seconds, obviously quite dazed from the trip. She didn't even seem to hear what Ace had said. The hybrid tried to get to her feet only to collapse once more, her lips curving downwards into a frown.

"That...was Instant Transmission!" Ace said. "In esscence, it breaks your body up into molecules and then teleports you someplace else." He sat back down, his hand to his head again. "Pretty useful, if it is a little taxing on the mind..."

Post by Cacao on Feb 27, 2010 14:35:55 GMT -5
She just stared at Ace, expression completely blank.
"...What."
Obviously it had gone right over Cacao's head, which wasn't too surprising. After all, what kind of person would actually be able to believe that their body had been broken up into molecules and then moved to another location damn near instantaneously?

Ace just shrugged, shaking his head slightly. "Doesn't make any sense to me," he said. "But that's the explanation I got for how it works. So..." He held up his hands in his familiar "I don't know" gesture.

Deciding not to even bother asking who had taught Ace the technique, Cacao managed to get back on her feet. She took a quick look around, a bit surprised that they were actually in an entirely different location. Though, if what Ace had said was true, she pondered just how the hell anything could be above Korin's Tower...

Ace got to his feet again, the pain in his head having subsided for the most part. "Hmm..." He headed toward the structure in the middle of the Lookout, looking inside the doorway. "Mister Popo! You around?" After a moment of nothing, Ace just shrugged. "Must be busy... Ah well."

Cacao followed the kai, obviously amazed by the palace-esque structure. She had never seen such a place before, likely because she had never been so high up before...or been to an area with this style of buildings. It didn't matter though.

Post by Ace on Feb 27, 2010 15:41:23 GMT -5
Ace looked around inside the structure for a moment, then stepped further inside. "Hmm...interesting style of architecture...." he said, thinking aloud again. "If Mister Popo trained Goku and all those others so many years ago, there must have been some secret method to his training..."
"Now the only question is...what is it...and where is Mister Popo...and Noru, for that matter...?"

Post by Cacao on Feb 27, 2010 15:55:11 GMT -5
"Mister Popo...?" Cacao asked, the name itself sounding incredibly goofy. If only she knew...if only she knew the truth. The truth of the horrors behind the name of Mister Popo...
Oh wait...This isn't a parody...

Post by Ace on Feb 27, 2010 15:59:30 GMT -5
Ace walked further into the structure, turning to look at Cacao. "Yeah... Mister Popo trained a lot of strong fighters in the past, and his training is pretty harsh. I figures he might have some ideas for our training..." Turning back to where he was going, "Now, where is he..."
"Right here," a voice came from a passage down to Ace's left. Mister Popo had found them, instead of the other way around.

She glanced in the direction the voice had come from, a bit startled that someone other than Ace had finally spoken.
/He must be one amazing fighter if he has trained so many people.../ The hybrid noted. She couldn't quite see who the voice belonged to yet.

Post by Ace on Feb 27, 2010 16:08:15 GMT -5
Ace turned toward the voice, and blinked only once before a broad grin broke out on his face. "Mister Popo! There you are!"
"Of course, where else would I be?" Mister Popo walked into view at that, extending a hand which Ace shook heartily. "Good to see you again, Ace."

Shiro, unlike the others, was getting used to being carried around by Instant Transmission. So that's what the Kai's ability was. Now I just need his name. He followed the other two around, finding that whenever he was about to ask a question, Cacao would ask it first. Guess she's as confused about all this as I am. He too looked over at the ancient Genie as it approached, and blinked. "He doesn't look like a great martial arts trainer."

Cacao stopped in her tracks, once again stunned by something that she had encountered while with the duo. Of course, she was thinking what Shiro had just said, questioning how the hell a rotund genie could be the person who trained supposedly strong individuals.
/Does he sit on them until they can endure any form of pain one can imagine?/

Post by Ace on Feb 27, 2010 16:40:19 GMT -5
Ace chuckled slightly. "Yeah, I thought the same thing at first..." he said. "But Mister Popo's training is very harsh...mostly because of how good he is. It left me exhausted and covered in bruises, I'll say that. But it definitely works!"
Mister Popo just smiled.

Shiro didn't buy it. And so, without saying a word, he after imaged behind the larger-than-average genie, aiming to punchi him in the back. His fist passed through Mr. Popo's own after image, while the Genie himself appeared behind Shiro and flicked the back of his head. That alone was enough to send Shiro flying forward into a wall, or whoever happened to be between him and the wall.
"Ok, maybe he's better than he looks..."
