Terra JUMPED at the sound of someone calling to her, someone Terra had never heard before! It REALLY wasn't often strangers who came to visit Auntie's home unannounced... or EVER really! Most people either flew by or drove by, never stopping to greet the locals! This... this was NEW! Terra would spring to her feet and wheel around quickly, spotting... a Saiyan woman standing right there... as if she had been all along! Had... had she been watching her? In fact, the stranger would admit to this almost immediately, questioning if Terra was old enough to do what she was doing!

    "Momma and Auntie think so!" Terra responded cheerily! "I do it all by myself now! I get big and strong! Help people!" Terra then tilted her head... thinking. Saiyans were supposed to be strong and stuff, right? She remembered seeing some fight one time and they moved like BLURS! She had never seen anyone move that fast or fight so hard before, even her Momma when she was training in the backyard! Maybe... Maybe this saiyan could train with her? Make her strong like Auntie and Momma? FIRST THING'S FIRST, THOUGH~! Introductions! Auntie had taught her manners, after all!

    "I Terra!" The little girl greeted, walking up to the woman and holding her hand out to her! "It nice to meetcha!" Whether or not the stranger would take it, Terra would beam up towards the stranger... and let her ki flow! Suddenly, Terra's aura would BURST forth from her tiny body, pink energy surging around her like blazes of fire! her form, while still tiny and pudgy, would tone slightly, small muscles becoming obvious along her arms and neck! The ground around the majin would pulsate beneath her feet, lose stones and rocks rising and crackling under the sudden release of Ki! 

    "HA!" Terra shouted... and her ki would disperse! ...But if the stranger were able to detect ki, she would very much feel that the strength the girl had unleased remained behind! 

    "You strong right? I can tell you strong!" Terra exclaimed cheerily, her glowing red eyes scanning the woman over. Indeed, at a glance, it was easy to tell that the Saiyan had taken good care of herself! Her body was lean, but muscular, a sign that she had, at least, been staying in pretty good shape! For humans, that probably meant going on a run every morning! For saiyans, it probably meant moving mountains! 

    "Could I fightcha a bit? Wanna train! Wanna train with YOU!" She pointed a finger almost up into the woman's face, Terra's own curling upwards into a playful smile! "C'moooon! Wanna get strong! Wanna be hero!"

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh boy... Terra wasn't exactly prepared for what she was about to face! The little pink Majin hadn't exactly gotten the hang of energy sensing JUST yet. Sure, she could, more or less, tell someone was able to tell someone was alive without looking! ...But sensing someone else's POWER, the depths of its range and what someone MIGHT be capable of... Uh.. that was a little beyond the child's ability to actually guess. When Tanya powered up... the only thing Terra had to gauge her standing with her... was how FAR she was THROWN back when her power EXPLODED from her body! 

    ...And suffice it to say, Terra was skipped like a stone! The little pink majin YELPED in surprise as Tanya's aura BLEW her off her feet, the little blue girl BOUNCING off the ground once... then twice before Terra had managed to FLIP back to her feet with a sloppily executed backflip! Her sanguine eyes widened in awe... but also excitement as the woman glowed brightly with her energy, pulsating waves of power flattening the grasses around her such that the plantlife resembled a carpet! 

    "Woooow!" Terra cheered, clapping her hands in approval! "You WAY stronger than I thought! The gonna be lotsa... huh?" ...And then, Tanya was gone! Terra blinked, staring at the space where the woman had been, trying to comprehend WHERE IN THE WORLD she coulda gone! Did... did she just go invisible...? How did she-

    "GRURRFFF!" Suddenly, a punch CRACKED Terra across her cheek so hard, the majin saw stars, the impact taking her straight off her feet! Before she could fall, another fist SMACKED her jaw from the other direction, practically SPINNING Terra like a horizontal top in the air! It was funny how getting punched in the face could help you see the universe... Terra was starting to feel like she could see ALL THE STARS... or was that just her brain acting all weird after getting bopped...? She'd need another hit to confirm... AND SHE'D GET IT! Always one to please, it seemed, Tanya brought up her boot and STRAIGHT-KICKED Terra across the landscape, the little pink majin FLYING back and slamming into one of the hills in the distance! 

    "Uuuuuugh..." Terra groaned weakly, her eyes spinning in their sockets cartoonishly. "...Strong lady hit haaaaaarrrrd..." Even laying still in the rubble, Terra felt like she was STILL trapped in her spin, the world around her rotating in a slow-motion wobble. The little pink girl puffed out her cheeks as a wave of nausea washed over her... and then PASSED by some miracle. Oh, she was glad too... she didn't want to lose her lunch... already. Slowly finding her feet, the majin would dust off her dress before taking a DEEP breath, her chest EXPANDING like the throat-sack of a frog! Terra unleashed a MASSIVE mouth-blast, the beam ARCHING across the land towards the saiyan, its deep pink energy crackling with power! Should Tanya dodge or otherwise defend herself, the majin would throw her hands out to either side, the beam SPLITTING IN TWO, circling around Tanya to SLAM into her from behind! If this move was successful, Terra would RUSH her from where she stood, LEAPING in the air to land a FLYING KICK into her belly!

    Terra CHEERED as her hits struck home... but that cheer quickly fell silent when only ONE managed to actually DO anything! FIRST, her blasts! At first, it seemed as if everything was going off without a hitch! Tanya wasn't even trying to defend herself and mouth-blast the majin had fired had split in two and were SURGING towards the woman's back! ...Then... they struck... but not the Saiyan they were intended for! A bubble of ki SURGED over the warrior at the last possible second and the very last word of her monologue, the explosion kicking up dust and sending loose soil EVERYWHERE... but other than that... she didn't even put a dent in it! 

    ...Ah, but Tanya had let her guard down too soon, perhaps expecting the majin would be too stunned to follow up! Her mistake! Terra ZIPPED across the land before landing a FLYING kick STRAIGHT into Tanya's stomach! The impact was solid, she felt Tanya's body buckle a little, and there was NO barrier to stop her this time!

    "YES!" Terra cheered, PUMPING her arm with pride! "I HIT!" ...Except... Tanya didn't seem all that bothered. As the Majin leaped back, putting some distance between them, the Saiyan looked more... amused than in pain! She even went as far as to dust off her stomach where Terra had klcked her as if dirtying her up was the WORST thing she'd managed to do! The majin's jaw dropped. She was... kinda in awe at this point! Terra might've not been the strongest puncher out there, but Tanya just took a FULL-ON KICK to the gut and wasn't even fazed! 

    "...Uh-oh..." The majin uttered, a slight chill of fear arching up her spine! Terra didn't necessarily UNDERESTIMATE Tanya... but she didn't expect her to go as HARD as she was right now either! For Terra, training was just another form of play, a means to pass time and have fun while waiting for other stuff to happen! ...It seemed that if Terra underestimated Tanya of anything, it was how seriously she was taking this fight!

    "...She so cool..." Terra whispered, a grin fluttering to life on her lips! Tanya's speech was like something out of those action movies Auntie Ayu would play for her, as if she was the righteous hero facing down a dastardly, arrogant villain! Terra couldn't help but clap for the prideful warrior, giggling with excitement! "SO COOL!"

    ALMOST AS COOL AS WHAT WAS COMING NEXT! Tanya's aura EXPLODED to life around her again, pointing her hand out towards Terra! Her palm cradled a sparking purple orb of energy within it, its energy such that even from SEVERAL METERS AWAY... Terra could feel its sheer condensed MIGHT against her skin as if she were right next to it! The little pink majin gulped, an anxious bead of sweat rolling down her cheek! She could feel her heart pounding nervously in her ears, hear her blood RUSHING through her veins! 

    "Oh... That... that scary..." Terra muttered... before the COSMIC WAVE was fired RIGHT at her midsection! Crying out in fear, Terra's hands SHOT UP over her head, a DOZEN tree-trunk-thick vines ERUPTED from the ground, encompassing Terra in a protective ball of green! Even with this wall between her and Tanya... it was barely enough to slow the attack down... Stopping it outright? Please. The Cosmic wave CRUSHED through Terra's desperate defense SLICING through her shoulder as it passed by her head, EXPLODING against the background in a brilliant flash of purple! 

    "AAWWWWWWH!" Terra SCREAMED, CLUTCHING at her melting arm, BARELY hanging by her torso by a gelatinous strand of flesh! Tears rolled down her cheeks as she dropped to her knees, crying visceral, aching sobs! This would be the first time... Terra ever lost a limb. Even as her body reflexively started to knit her arm back onto her torso... Terra couldn't stop crying! The pain... It was OVERWHELMING! The poor child had NEVER felt anything like this before! ...The pain... turned to fire... and that fire... burned anger... Slowly, Terra would rise, steam beginning to bubble out of the holes lining her body, her head raising... to see her face contorted in an enraged snarl! 

    "THAT HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRT!" Terra roared before unleashing a massive cloud of STEAM from within! The cloud would SHOOT towards Tanya just as her energy-beam had a moment ago, dispersing around her the moment it connected! Terra would them CLAP her hands together upon the tail of the cloud, causing the rest to EXPLODE in a brilliant flaming blaze!

    Once more, Terra's attack had worked like a charm... and once more, Tanya seemed... less than affected! The blazing explosion LAUNCHED the saiyan through the air, skidding her back along the ground as she came down before BOUNDING back up into the sky! One would think such a harsh landing caused by an even HARSHER burning blaze would've shocked some seriousness into Tanya... If anything, the most the majin had accomplished was to splash soot all over her armor and get her attention! 

    ...Frustration fed Terra's anger, her aura BLAZING wildly around her as team billowed out of her holes. The majin glared up at the Saiyan, the pain of her wound still fresh in her mind, tears still rolling as freshly as she had the moment she'd lost her arm. "Irrational" wouldn't be the right word to describe the majin at this moment... but perhaps "vengeful" was. Terra, before now, had never lost a body-part from as small as her head-tentacle to as large as a full limb! Before now, she didn't even KNOW she could heal like that! She was young, still coming to grips with who and WHAT she was! Her momma hadn't explained to her the full intricacies of her race yet because... HOW DOES ONE EXPLAIN DISMEMBERMENT AND ITS GENERAL IRRELEVENCE TO A CHILD? 

    Tanya SHOUTED to Terra, EMPLORED her to reach down within herself and draw out her strength! ONLY THIS WAY would she be able to give a real fight to a saiyan elite like her... whatever that means! She would then ROCKET down towards the fuming majin, SWINGING her leg around in a kick... only for the majin to... DUCK under it! Tanya's leg flew over Terra's head, lightly grazing her tentacle as she passed, Terra whirling around to face Tanya, throwing her own punch RIGHT into the center of her face! The majin would let out a barrage of blows, attacking high and low and STAYING RIGHT IN HER FACE... It wasn't like she could fight her any differently! Terra's limbs were short, which meant she had to get CLOSE to throw punches... and that also meant taller foes would struggle keeping her at a distance once she was inside their space! They had to pull back more, MOVE more to get their guard where it needed to be! Terra learned this first hand fighting her 10' + Momma! 

    Suddenly, Terra would leap back from Tanya into the sky before unleashing a VICIOUS barrage of energy blasts from her hand, splattering the general area where the saiyan stood with untold numbers of energy spheres! Terra's fighting was wild... savage, almost... and sloppy. Unlike her Momma who seemed to train day in and day out for this kind of thing, Terra... hadn't exactly been keeping up with her studies as much... Her moves were almost like that of a thug, throwing her weight into her punches more than she should or over-extending herself too much and in obvious places. ...Her mind being clouded by anger and pain didn't much help either, making her moves that much more telegraphed!

    Terra wasn't exactly losing her mind... as she was losing her temper. Majin, by nature, could be some of the sweetest people you would ever meet. ...And in contrast, when they are enraged, their tempers are equally legendary. For Terra, a kindhearted soul who wished the best for everyone, to have lost her temper... something horrible must've happened... and losing an arm was that. When she came at Tanya, it was more like a child with HEROIC levels of strength going into a tantrum, FLAILING about in a rage so mighty, it actually pushed her into another echelon of power!

    ...But what good was power when you really didn't know what you were doing? Tanya answered that question by CATCHING Terra's fist the moment she got close enough, JERKING the majin to a halt so suddenly... it stunned her out of her tantrum! The majin blinked, her sanguine eyes blasting with... confusion more than anything. Before the embers of rage could BLAZE to life once again, Tayna began the process of talking her down, reminding Terra of what she had told her before! 

I get big and strong! Help people!

    Terra blinked again... and the anger was gone. Almost like a deflating balloon, the majin dropped to the ground, the fighting spirit extinguished with her temper. Terra dropped to her knees, breathing HEAVILY, holding her hands up to her face as if to see the last sparks of that new power leaving her being! She... Was that her...? Terra had never EVER gotten that mad before... OVER ANYTHING! Her life, up until then... had been nothing but a wonderful dream, a dream where she and her family were happier than clams and excited for the next day! ...Was this power inside of her all along...? Was it like her arm growing back...? Did she simply never know about it...?

    "I... I sorry..." Terra muttered, shaking her head as if trying to clear it. "...I not know what happen... It... I hurt... Then I angry... Then..." She shook her head again, this time to indicate her confusion. "...I not know what happen..." Terra felt terrible... Not just emotionally, but physically too! The fight... she remembered it vaguely through the red haze of her rage... It was... difficult... She remembered throwing some punches, her arm getting blasted and then... Ugh... Maybe that was why she was hurting so much and was drained so much... She must've came at Tanya with everything she had and THEN some! 

 "...I not mean to get mad I... I wanna be hero... I not wanna hurt people..." It looked as if Terra would cry again, her eyes growing wet around the corners. "I sorry..."
