Yet even frustrated he doesn't falter on defense, blocking each and every one of your strikes. You're going to have to do something different to break through his guard. Inspiration strikes, and as you keep up the attack try something unique. With your next right, Cooler raising his own right to block, you open your fist. And instead of a punch, you grab his arm just above the blade-like growth on his forearm. “Wh-Wha-?”
And before he can react, caught by surprise you pull him to you, driving your right knee up into his guts. Off-balance he can't react in time, can't protect himself and takes a devastating heavy blow to his guts.
“GYUAAH!!?” he wheezes, you hearing the air leave his body as your blow stuns him. Immediately you go on the attack, following that knee up with a left hook to the temple while still holding his arm, keeping him from defending himself. Sending him flying as you let go of his arm, sending Cooler crashing into one of the giant tree stumps, marking the clearing as larger than it used to be when you and his brother first sparred here. His body splits it, burying him within it. You take a moment to take a breath, feeling a sharp pain in your right side, wincing in pain. He broke something in your chest, you can't take a full breath. Looks like he really damaged you with that opening attack. But you can still keep going, you've been through far worse. “SHYAAAAAAAA!!”
Cooler roars as his golden aura blazes, blowing the stump apart as he flies up into the air. Clenching his fists, gathering his power around him in a technique that looks somewhat like your Energy Body, forming a sphere around him. You recognize it as Freeza's Death Crasher attack, clearly wanting to hit you through your armor.
“Take this!” Cooler bellows, dropping down out of the air directly at you. “HIIYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!”
“BRING IT!” you roar back, planting your feet. Bracing yourself for impact, readying yourself to meet this charge head on. His power cuts through the very air itself, accelerating faster and faster as he closes the gap. Then he's right on you, you throwing out both hands and grabbing his energy. His power slams into your Energy Body, but thankfully your shield holds. Cooler's attack shreds quite a bit, but you still have a thin layer over your hands as you stop his attack in it's tracks. That doesn't stop Cooler from pouring even more energy into his charge, trying to overpower you, to break past your defenses and slam you into the ground. But as the seconds pass, you not giving an inch, he realizes that this strategy won't work.
