“I can see what you’re trying to do. It’s not going to work.” he warns, Vegeta grumbling as he heads back.
Your aura flares up as you raise your power up as high as you can take it without transforming, then launch forward at Tien, who blocks your leading chop and attempts a knee strike to your gut. You avoid it by leaping up and over him, attempting a spin-kick to the back of his head. Tien ducks down and backs away, taking a defensive stance. You rush him again, but this time as you try for a swerving punch to the side of his head, he blocks your attack with one palm with ease, then countering with a Machinegun punch that you have to block in response.
Keli actually takes this opportunity to try and teleport in and deliver an axe kick down at him, but not only does he avoid it, he actually manages to grab her leg as it comes down and flings her at you. She fires off a Ki blast that does hit true, but doesn’t do as much damage as she wanted as you catch her. “I can understand testing the waters a bit, but it doesn’t quite match the bravado you were showing just now. What do you hope to accomplish with that display?”
You grin. “Already told you. You’re the main threat.”
You sense Vegeta move in, Tien attempting to hold you and Keli in place with Telekinesis… but then you show him that your own skills with that are nothing to scoff at, as you cause Vegeta to overshoot you and Keli and come crashing into Tien, Keli firing and hitting the Saiyan prince in the back as she gets out of combat.
While knocked down, it’s not enough to keep him down for the count. Tien gets back up, and Vegeta glares at you again. “Are you really going to keep up this little act, Son Peppa?” he questions. “You’re trying some little trick, but I’m going to tell you here and now it’s not going to work. In fact, you’ll only delay the inevitable.”
>A. Keep focus on Tien, Vegeta can’t stay in the ring forever>B. Bait Vegeta a bit, so he’ll be less focused on teamwork with Tien>C. Set Ki mines while making it look like you’re trying to fight like normal>D. Power up to Super Saiyan! Time to escalate!>E. Something else?
