Taizan watched as the warrior got to his feet. "Very good, kid. You certainly fight like one who possesses a 20,000 power level. To think that that's only your standing power level..." He reassumed his stance and eased forward on his foot a bit. Taizan waited him out, all the while building a strategy to combat him. The man smiled and dashed forward. He raised his fist and was about to strike. Taizan moved to the side and threw a right uppercut aimed for his stomach. However, the man warped before he made contact, and he felt a pain between his shoulder blades as he was kicked in the back. Taizan fell but front flipped off his hand and turned in time to take a punch to the face. However, he continued to roll with it and grabbed his shoulder before hurling the man to the ground. The man landed on both palms and kicked Taizan in the face with a handstand kick. He assumed a defensive stance as the man began to throw a barrage of punches at him.
Taizan continued to block the strikes, even while his stomach and legs took a pounding. It would take more than strikes to hammer through his defenses, so the man's incessant punching would get him nowhere. Taizan waited until just the right moment and opened his arms. As soon as the man's arms went through, he closed them, effectively trapping his arms. Taizan dropped backward, and rolled, kicking the Saiyan Hunter away. The man warped once again as Taizan stood. He could not sense his energy level and that worried him. Despite the fact that the Hunter was less skilled than him, he had a few deadly tricks up his sleeve. That was OK, since he did, too. He sensed an oncoming blow and jumped back, just in time for the man's foot to rip across his shirt. He grabbed the man by the back of the throat and smashed a knee into the middle of his back, but the man was able to backflip around and land on his feet next to him.
Taizan let go and turned just as the man got ready to let loose a Ki blast. At close-range, that attack could be deadly. Thinking quickly, he charged up his own Ki and grabbed the man's hand before firing his own. The collisions nullified both blasts and Taizan leg sweeped him in the momentary confusion. The man attempted a leg sweep of his own, but Taizan saw that coming and jumped before landing with a kick on his gut. The kick was toe first, and it pierced through the armor before breaking the skin and striking the liver. The man puked up blood and grabbed at his throat. Taizan jumped back and looked at him with no expression on his face. "I did not wish to have a fight with you, so I'll walk away from this and leave you your life. The attack I just did penetrated the skin of your liver. It's not fatal, but it won't feel good for a while. I was definitely impressed with your skills, but they were no match for mine." Taizan turned and began to walk away.
Rage screamed within the mind of the Hunter. He had defeated him in honorable combat, and now would not offer him an honorable death?! A Saiyan Hunter defeated in battle was obligated to give up his own life for the cause. This prevented anyone from learning their secrets. Besides, a Hunter defeated in battle who did survive was usually killed by one of his own, anyway. No matter what he did at this junction, he was dead. Maltikin sat up and spat the blood at Taizan. "Get back here and finish me! I want to die honorably at the hands of the warrior who defeated me." Taizan continued to walk, and Maltikin pounded his fist on the ground. He would have to provoke a response, it seemed. He held up his hand and charged up Ki in the palm. When it was sufficient, he aimed it at Taizan. "Die, you son of a bitch!" He shouted before firing the blast.
Taizan continued to walk, even as the Saiyan Hunter begged for an honorable death. It was not his style to kill his opponent, and he was convinced that the man was too used to fighting Saiyans. He heard a shout and sensed a great amount of Ki coming at him. Diving to the side, he spun in the air and used the Marionette Fingers technique to fire a single blast into the man's brain. It struck right between the eyes and Taizan solidified the blast as he walked toward him. "I did not wish to kill you, but you have left me no choice. I chose this method to kill you, since it was the most merciful." He dissipated the blast and watched the man fall over. He was bleeding profusely, though it hardly mattered since he was dead. Taizan turned and began to walk home. The thought of Saiyans being on Earth disturbed him, as they were a warlike and barbaric race. However, he himself had been challenged by a Saiyan Hunter. It made him wonder which one was more dangerous.
He eventually arrived back at home and walked inside. Removing his shirt, he began to stitch the rip shut. After successfully mending the tear, he put the shirt back on and laid down on the bed. He closed his eyes and entered a state of restful meditation. It would clear his mind and recharge his energy for the training he would be doing later. His mind went completely blank and he began to breathe deeply as his power began to rise and his mind began to focus more intently on his goal.
