Power Level: 11,936 Weighted Power Level: 2,984 Hikaru walked along the village with Peardian at her elbow. The village waved their friendly greetings. Hikaru simply raising her hand back. They knew it was simply her way and weren't offended. Some even laughed and teased her.
Hikaru lead the tuffle to Sora's home. She rapped her knuckles smartly on the door, then folded her arms behind her back. It was a soldier's parade rest, but the pose had been natural for her. Casual even.
Peardian and Sora seemed to be a two of a kind to Hikaru. Both had a passion and a sort of zeal for heroism. It was something she herself couldn't understand. So, it seemed only natural to introduce the two of them.
She just wondered if she had the energy to handle both of them at once. Word Count: 134

Peardian had went with Hikaru to return everything back to the tuffle factory and then went to the village, waving a very friendly greetings to the others who seemed to be content with them being here. Curious as to why she was taken here, the futuristic icarus looked up at the silent soldier and then back at the door and waited to see who would come out. Once Sora emerged, the tuffle girl waved an eager hello and grinned, speaking with a polite and very friendly tone. "Hello! Miss Hikaru wanted to introduce you to me, my name's Peardian! What's yours?"
Sora was in the middle of his training. This session, he was sitting in front of a large rock, meditating while keeping his eyes closed the whole time, and then every few moments he would strike the rock. The goal was to create a perfectly smooth spherical rock using only his fists. This one was far from finished, but he had a few smaller rocks done already. Then he heard a knock at the door. Sora got up from his meditation and waddled his way over to the door. Despite the visibly quaint appearance, the training method was taxing, so Sora was drenched in sweat, and his hands did have some cuts on them. He was met with his friend Hikaru, and a new person who introduced herself as Peardian. She seemed nice, though Sora was a little confused how all these people ended up on his planet, he figured she came for Hikaru. "Sora's the name!" Sora held out his fist, indicating he wanted a fist bump. "Nice to meet you! And it's nice to see you Hikaru! Sorry, the place is a mess, I was in the middle of training, but come on in!" Upon entering, Hikaru and Peardian would notice a huge mess of rocks all over the place. His laundry was all hung up by his one window, and his bed was made, and his usual center rug was rolled up and placed against the wall, replaced by the large rock.

Power Level: 11,936 Weighted Power Level: 2,984 Hikaru looked between the two of them and gave a small satisfied nod. She had been right. These two would mesh perfectly. When Sora greeted her, she raised a hand and gave him a small, “Hello.”
Sora ushered them inside and Hikaru braced herself… only to be pleasantly surprised. In spite of Sora’s claim of a ‘mess’, in truth the place was a lot cleaner, simply because his laundry no longer permeated the area with a thick musk of sweat.
As far as she was concerned, chipped stone was a great improvement over dirty laundry.
On his mention Hikaru examined the stone in closer detail. The first time Hikaru had been here she had made a private note of Sora’s collection of spherical stones. She had wondered as to their significance. And now the answer was apparent. Sora sculpted them himself. But with no visible sign of tools, and the fact that his hands were cut implied he did it himself, by hand.
Hikaru’s eyes widened just a hair in surprise, very impressed by Sora’s training method. It wasn’t so much the physical taxation of the practice, though it did cause his hands to toughen and bear some punishment. But the mental focus of needing to create precision strikes. You had to strike the rock perfectly so as to chip off pieces of the outside without cracking or shattering the stone.
Hikaru tried to imagine the creativity it would take to come up with this practice. And then how long it took Sora to perfect it, as was obvious by the collection of smooth spheres he had already crafted.
Hikaru had already respect Sora for his strength. But that respect notched up two-fold today. She would have to ask his permission to use this practice method…
“Peardian wants to become a hero. She said she wants to get strong to protect people… ” Hikaru said quietly, looking up from the rocks to Sora, “I thought… that sounded like you.”
Sora was a hero that grew strong to protect others. The perfect role model for Peardian.
While the girl had expressed that she was impressed with Hikaru’s strength, Hikaru wasn’t the hero she wanted to be. In fact… she had been the exact type of person Sora and her would have fought against…
Hikaru pushed that thought from her mind.
She wouldn’t be that person anymore. Word Count: 403 Total Word Count: 537

Peardian had seen a bunch of Namekians before, all of varying sizes and figures which interested her for as much as they looked similar each and every single one of them was different in a good way. It just went to show that everyone was special in a way, no matter what happened or what they looked like. Sure the futuristic icarus was her own special version of different from the rest, but it was a good thing at the end of the day because she didn't really mind it and instead embraced it. Sora seemed confused which earned a small head tilt from the young tuffle girl, who had been born and raised on Namek and didn't know any other planet as home.
Upon being shown the fist and introduced, an adorable grin appeared on Peardian's face as the tiny tuffle fist bumped the bigger Sora after jumping up to do it with eyes alight with excitement at meeting a new person. She didn't care said person was drenched in sweat either, but he looked to be training in a rather interesting way by having rocks in his house while the laundry was out to dry. Knowing there was different styles for everyone, the futuristic icarus didn't mind this method a bit and instead found it interesting.
When Hikaru went over to inspect the stones, the little tuffle's footsteps were a bit heavier than when they'd last met because when she went to drop the stuff back off, her uncle had given her a weighted set of her normal clothing to wear for her birthday which was going to be soon, so she'd changed it out for it quick before heading out. It was a bit hard on her lithe frame but nothing Peardian couldn't handle, and you wouldn't hear her crying about it one bit. Investigating around the place while not being too nosy, the futuristic icarus was trying her best to make sure she didn't bump into anything with her wings in the process.
Upon being mentioned, the small teenager turned to look at the human lady who mentioned her, and maybe this was why she was brought to meet this big tall green guy. Walking over to Hikaru while being a bit hindered by her clothes, the tiny tuffle warrior would then look to Sora but had to look up quite a bit to do so. Sure, Peardian was only four feet tall, but that didn't mean she wasn't a heck of a supah tough cookie. "You bet I wanna be strong, I'm gonna be so strong my parents will be super proud of me and the kids at school won't think I'm silly! I'll show them! I'll protect every single one of my friends and the planet! I'll give those Dark Namekians what for too!"
"A hero? I'd never thought of myself that way... But I guess it makes sense. And it sounds cool as hell! But I do believe you are already with someone even more amazing than myself!" Sora looked at Hikaru, indicating she was who he was talking about. At this point, Sora examined the small girl. Physically she wasn't the strongest. But the way she walked, Sora could tell she was skilled. He wondered how she would approach this test. "You want to be strong? And prove to everyone that you are strong, eh?" Sora paused to stretch, "Please let me test you! Normally I would spar with you to test you, but I have been training for a while and I am tired. Would you mind... hitting me... as hard as you can? Any method, I don't care, but It's just a much easier way to gauge your skill than reading your power level. I am curious..." Sora was clearly not deceitful, he genuinely wanted Peardian to hit him as hard as she could. Sora put both of his arms out, ready to take whatever kind of attack she would send his way. He would take all of the damage, and hopefully, he wouldn't pass out from it.

Power Level: 11,936 Weighted Power Level: 2,984 Hikaru glanced at Sora, and cocked her head. Sora actually did go out and protect people. It seemed heroic to her. And even if it didn’t make him a “hero”, he still was the kind of person Pear wanted to be. Of course, when Sora called her amazing Hikaru just kinda furrowed her brow.
Amazing? Perhaps she was strong. But she wasn’t an amazing person. Hikaru realized she was denying the compliment like Sora denied being a hero. She couldn’t help but laugh mentally.
“Hm?” Hikaru blinked when Sora asked Peardian to hit him.
Oh, boy…
Hikaru crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. Oh, she was ready for this. Peardian didn’t even reach Sora’s shoulder, but between the weight of her wings, and the new training weights Hikaru could see on her…

Peardian didn't look very strong physically if at all, but what none of them realized was the potential she held as a fighter despite the weight of her well.. weighted clothing and her natural wings which were strong enough to lift her even with these on. However, the futuristic icarus knew the potential the young girl herself had, and upon being put on the spot after the two taller and older warriors exchanged their pleasantries, Sora turned to the girl and asked her to hit him full on. With the Namekian looking to be hit full on and Hikaru looking on at them both, it made the girl feel incredibly nervous.
"I.. are you sure you want me to hit you at full strength? I.. I usually don't let that show unless I need to.. and it'd hurt you a lot if I did." Clearly both of the adults wanted the teenager to show their power off, so if Peardian couldn't wiggle her way out of it the girl would simply sigh and then move to take off her white clothes. When they landed with a thud on the ground, the young girl spread her wings powerfully and with a small grunt would let her sparkling seafoam green aura flare. With Peardian's hair spiking even more than before to the point it all stood on end before dashing forwards with a punch right to the namekian's chest at full strength.
With the futuristic icarus's weights discarded and her power displayed for all to see, the sparkling aura around the teenage fighter would cause the feathers on her wings and the young girl's hair to wave as if there was a light breeze that was only affecting her in that moment as Peardian displayed her full power under the pressure. 299

Both Hikaru and Peardian seemed to think Sora was crazy, but to him, it was a surefire way to know how strong this girl was. Once her resolve solidified, she flung out her wings and a beautiful seafoam burst of color filled the room. "Wow that's pret..." BAM! Her power spiked, and her small little fist connected to his chest. For a small, fraction of a second, time slowed. He could see her fist pressing a dent into his chest. Then for a few moments, he felt nothing, saw nothing, did nothing. By the time he looked up, he was bent over backward through a hole in his wall. Without even getting up, mostly because he wasn't sure he could, Sora looked into the eye's of the small girl that just sent him flying, "HOLY SHIT! I did NOT see that coming. I expected pain... I did not expect my heart to skip a god damn beat!" Sora slowly and barely helped himself up, stumbling quite a lot. "You are STRONG! You already seem to have the skill to be a hero. What are you trying to prove? And to who really?" Sora felt a lot with that punch. Not just pain... a lot of pain... but emotion. Feeling. She said she wanted to prove she was strong to people, but Sora wondered if maybe she had something else going on in that little head of hers.

Power Level: 11,936 Weighted Power Level: 2,984 Peardian's ki flared powerful enough to kick up a slight gust of air rustling back Hikaru's soft blue hair. Then she turned her head to the side and closed one eye from the crash Sora made through the wall. Then Hikaru looked back at Sora's prone form. She pushed away from the wall, and moved to beside Sora.
Wordlessly, she looped his arm over her shoulders to help him stand. Then she placed her palm over his chest where Peardian has struck him. There was a soft glow under her palm, and she began stimulating his body's natural healing process with her own ki.
He had a deep tissue bruise, luckily no broken ribs or ruptured organs. He must have fortified his body at least in some small way. If not, Hikaru wouldn't be surprised if Pear's fist had gone straight through him.
As it stood she would be able to heal him up easily enough.
"He'll be fine," Hikaru told Pear before she could panic. Hikaru had a feeling it wasn't going to stop Peardian from panicking. But, hey, she had to at least say something... Word Count: 187 Total Word Count: 869

Peardian's strength had been left on display for both of the fighters to see, with the girl's rippling potential despite being in a black tank and shorts shown in one fell punch that sent the namekian warrior right through the wall and left the girl standing there in a shocked guilt as she put on her clothes once again and ran back over to Sora to look up at him with very upset eyes once her strength went back down to it's hidden level. "I'm so sorry! Hikaru, he's not fine! I let you guys push me into hitting him and look at what happened! I knew this was going to happen, I tried to warn you, and look what you both made me do! I didn't want to hit him at my full potential because you and I both know this is way stronger than he is right now!"
Snapping in a panic, the young girl would then hider herself in her wings and sit in a corner for a moment to steam in guilt, hiding from her friends for the time being as all that would be visible outside of her toes was fluffy white feathers.

Hikaru started healing Sora's wounds, and while he wouldn't admit it out loud, he was very grateful... because that hurt like a bitch. Then Peardian started to panic, which Sora didn't really expect. It was at this moment Sora had to figure out how to help relieve a young girl of her guilt. Sora walked over to Peardian, regardless of if Hikaru followed, and put his hand on Pear's shoulder, "Listen... uh... Pear bear? I don't really understand why you feel bad, although the words 'way stronger' hurt a little, you are strong. And you should be proud of that strength. Pain is temporary," Sora was grasping for straws, trying to sound like the hero Peardian thought he was, "but the strength to protect those we care about forms eternal bonds. It is those eternal bonds that help people like us, what you call Hero's, always get back up and keep fighting." At this point, Sora wore himself out too much to keep acting tough and plopped down right on the floor next to Peardian. Sora felt content with his little speech and relaxed his whole body. This was going to hurt for the next few days. Guess his training regimen was going to slow down a little bit, so he could recover.

The glow eventually faded away from Hikaru’s palm as she finished healing Sora. She didn’t heal him back to 100% Mollau had advised that sometimes it was best for the body to heal itself. It made the body stronger that way. A person would lose resilience if they relied on healing themselves completely in response to any wound.
Hikaru let him go, and watched as he approached the panicked tuffle girl. Hikaru crossed her arms and leaned against the wall next to the Sora-shaped hole. Sora’s speech was simple, but it conveyed the point. Hikaru was glad she had brought Peardian to him.
“Well said,” Hikaru murmured from her place by the wall. Word Count: 118 Total Word Count:987

Peardian had flown into an upset panick, the young girl's eyes alight with tears as she hid herself from the others via the feathery wings gifted to the tuffle child less than a year ago. Her potential was immense, andd as such it reasonably resulted in a afair amount of pain from the Namekian fighter due to being slugged at the teen's full-on strength. Sora came over and sat down beside her, with Peardian looking up to see him with tears staining her usually happy little face and blue eyes glimmering with that salty liquid.
"I know that s..stuff about h..heroes and their b..bonds.. b..but I don't like hurting my f..friends, that could have killed you! It would h..have been a..all my f..fau..fauuuult!" Sniffling through the entire speech, it resulted in some stutteredf breaks before her wings once aagain proceeded to cover her back up to the point all you could see was a few tufts of brown hair out of the top of the feathery white cocoon.
