While Kelvin might have in an unusual spot for the time being, it had equally seemed like Clarinet was dealing with his own problems. Apparently Korin had thought up some new sort of trick. For the time being he was no longer under attack by the same nameless and faceless entity that had assaulted him before. No, this time the creatures that he found himself fighting had a name.<br/><br/>That name was Namekian.<br/><br/>Yes, there were Namekian warriors assaulting him, or at least from his standpoint it had seemed that there was. In reality, there wasn't actually. This was another fabrication of Korin's imagination, but it was much less simple for Clarinet to simply dismiss them this time. He was stuck attempting to deal with them.<br/><br/>First off, if this were a fair fight with nothing else interrupting him, they would have still proven to be quite skillful warriors indeed. They had the ability to use any of the attacks he took a preference for. Indeed, he had more than once felt the sting of the antenna beam that he was usually so excited about using himself. Well, having been on the receiving end for once he learned rather quickly why it was such an influential attack.<br/><br/>For now Korin was remaining still. The cute rapport between him and Yajirobe had stopped. Indeed, the entire scene had gotten dead serious. At first Clarinet had decided to not do anything. In fact, he actually found himself trying to flee both both running and flying. The feeling of it was entirely foreign. He never ran at all, and always faced things head on. This time, though, he couldn't bare to fight a member of his own race.<br/><br/>"You can't do this to me, it's not fair!"<br/><br/>The exclamation only came after he had realized what was going on.<br/><br/>Korin smirked to himself and sighed. "Whoever said life was fair, Clarinet?"<br/><br/>Within a flash, Clarinet began to focus his Ki, clearing his mind now tha the was absolutely certain that the other was causing these illusions. Once he opened his eyes again the scene around him was far more serene. Regardless, he was about to get a lecture. While he might have been able to handle that at this point, the fact that the lecture was about to come from Yajirobe was a problem indeed.<br/><br/>"Hey like, sometimes you're gonna have to fight some people who are the same species as you. It's good you're learning both psychologga and ki-whatever attacks to clear your mind or whatever...but you'll have to face facts. There's bad among every people."<br/><br/>The fat boy's words was enough to make Clarinet steamed, and he had started to come for the other, but he was stopped by the white cat once again who had placed his staff in front of the Namekian. "No, you have to understand...he's actually right on this one."<br/><br/>It wasn't going to be an easy lesson to contend with.<br/><br/>What made him stand there without moving as he thought it over was that he knew it was true more than anything. That made it all the more uncomfortable. He wasn't going to be able to dispute this. That's what made it so incredibly uncomfortable.<br/><br/>After this he was once again forced, against his will of course, to fight that fat boy. Having spent some time in this, Clarinet was ready to call it a day really. Later, though, it seemed like he was going to need to fight something all over again. "No, we won't be winning this by brute force, but when we do win I'll have earned my bean. Nice move with the instant transmission by the way."<br/><br/>Two on three hardly seemed fair, but the fact that life wasn't fair had already been established thus far, so Clarinet merely got himself ready. There was some logic in picking one opponent and totally annihilating them before moving on to even up the odds a bit. Kelvin smirked as he looked into Clarinet's eyes. It looked like they were thinking the same thing.<br/><br/>If there was one thing that Kelvin had, then it was speed. He had rush attacks, acrobatics and tail whips to avail himself of. That meant that the slow and out of shape Yajirobe had little way of stopping him for now. On the other hand, though, it didn't mean much when Yajirobe was going to get some assistance in this.<br/><br/>See, while Clarinet was more than capable of handling his own in the fight against Takashira at first and was immune to the biological frequency attacks that so marked that individual's prowess, that didn't mean much in the end because the attacks were soon instead geared straight for Kelvin. Apparently it had seemed like Takashira could take plenty of punishment from Clarinet in the process, even handling the antenna beam that came straight from his forehead.<br/><br/>"Hey, Clarinet, I can't take much more of this!"<br/><br/>Kelvin blinked at the other, seeming to stop his assault of Yajirobe.<br/><br/>For the meanwhile, Clarinet had tried to focus on Kelvin. It was a fatal mistake since that gave Korin the opportunity to give him a strong whack with his cane. Kelvin shuddered, holding his head again. "It's coming from the cat too..."<br/><br/>At the moment, though, he was doing his best just to recover from the physical attack. He couldn't hear any of the things that Kelvin apparently could have, but of course getting hit with a piece of wood still hurt no matter what was going on. Swallowing again, he did his best to shift back into a pose, now in midair.<br/><br/>"You're going to have to find some way to resist it!" As he said that, he then shot his claws straight for Takashira's eyes. Maybe this would have been enough to get her off of Kelvin, but just as soon as he did this she was able to move with a smirk, wiping a small bit of blood away from her mouth.<br/><br/>"You overgrown slug can't stop me so easily!" The jibe made Clarinet grumble even worse, considering that he wasn't a slug. Well, technically he was, but that wasn't the issue at hand right now. Takashira seemed to be more than capable of moving in any direction that she had so wished at a rate of speed beyond that of even Kelvin. "Hey, she can do a transmission sort of like me!"<br/><br/>"No, that's not what it is Ox-boy. I just can send ki into my muscles more efficiently than you can. You'll have to learn how to do that yourself!" The irony was that while she had seemed to be having a ton of fun, none of this was arrogant. Everything she had said seemed to be very sincere indeed.
