Traversing the lands of this world was moderately exhausting for the android as it had to flee every now and then due to the mindset that it was going to get caught or beaten up by someone. Surely there was an entity out there that wanted Plasma retrieved due to the questionable environment it had grown up in – or rather, cultivated in. Licking its lips, Plasma sat down on the dry earth, specifically on a rock, and looked around due to taking a small break.



Critters were scurrying away whilst some birds were approaching Plasma with careful movement due to the questionable appearance of Plasma. It wasn’t an Earthling, nor did it appear specifically as any of the other species on the planet, but rather a mix of some. Perhaps it was a fellow animal that these critters and birds could get alongside with? There was one specific bird that chipped and jumped towards Plasma – taking a daring approach to the android.



This was its first and last mistake as Plasma promptly grabbed it and stuffed the bird inside of its mouth before swallowing the bird in full. Whilst it was inhumane, it wasn’t… unnatural. Plasma still had the instincts for food and could play the out of season hunting as it being an animal too – at least till it could escape whoever was questioning it if anyone at all. It was utterly delicious, tasted like bird.



Anyhow, Plasma got off its butt and stood up to eye the environment before spotting a moving shade far away in a circular fashion. Getting onto all four, Plasma crawled across the earth before pouncing at the moving shade – just to find that it was a legitimate shade. You cannot trust anything to be as simple as that these days with space species coming onto this world. Getting up onto its two feet, Plasma placed its hands on its hips before looking upward as it scratched its crown.



Oh, so that was the thing causing the shadow – a massive featherless bird up in the air. Plasma snorted as it glanced to its side to see a massive rock formation that could be used as leverage to reach that featherless stupid bird. Plasma lunged at the rock formation and climbed till it reached the top as fast as it could. Performing a leap of faith, Plasma reached for the flying dinosaur’s legs and successfully grabbed onto it – causing the creature to screech out in surprise as the duo went soaring downwards as Plasma hurled it towards the earth!





Smashing into the ground, Plasma recovered quickly as he threw up his fists at the featherless bird that growled in return. This was the training session of Plasma’s life – and this bird was going to be the challenge before it. Rolling his shoulders, the android spat on the ground as it ran forward to deliver a foul punch to the featherless bird’s face! However, to Plasma’s surprise it defended itself with its large bat-wing of an arm and threw dirt up backwards as the power forced it backwards!



It was not done however as it swiftly spun around to unleash a swift tail-sweep that made Plasma’s feet fly right off the floor! Expecting the android to drop onto its back, the bird followed up with a pecking combination, but found that Plasma was hovering in the air and caught the dinosaur’s beak underneath his arm and against his side. Raising his arm up, Plasma smashed his elbow down onto the dinosaur’s head before spinning around to hurl the featherless creature into the air.



Plasma was in hot pursuit shortly afterwards as the opponent recovered mid-air and unleashing a staggering roar! Plasma stopped moving mid-air as he looked around to see if anything had happened, and nothing physically had happened, so he continued forward for a dashing strike towards its torso!



This strike never came to fruition however as an unknown figure smashed into Plasma’s side – followed up by another one dealing a smashing strike with its tail mid-air against the android’s back. Recalibrating mid-air from the strikes, Plasma’s eyes opened to spot not only two featherless birds, but four! It was a disadvantageous fight, but the android was prepared for such an outcome.



Inhaling deeply as it wiped its mouth with its arm, Plasma charged forward to the first creature – dodging underneath its tail swipe – to deliver a successful uppercut to it before sending it downwards with a double-axe handled strike! Plasma’s back was sliced at by the claws of a second bird which sought to make its escape, which it did. The Android’s wounds quickly regenerated however as another bird sought to try its luck, just to have the bio-android disappear from sight as it ducked downwards to smash its entire body against the previously hurled bird with an elbow drop!





The earth beneath the creature broke due to the impact and the bird coughed for air as Plasma got off it to lock onto an incoming opponent that spun in the air for added momentum! Plasma raised his arms up in a crossed fashion to block the incoming damage but was ganged up by another bird that swept down for a leg-sweep which caught Plasma off-guard as the air inside of its lungs was forced out!



Plasma was quick to react however as it bounced off the earth and used the power of flight to ram into the spinning bird’s stomach with a barrage of punches that sent it flying upwards as Plasma continued to punch away! Growling in distress, the barraged bird swept with a left strike that connected with Plasma’s cheek and sent him flying as he stopped mid-air. He wasn’t done however as he sent numerous energy blasts outwards against the duo, yet where was the third?



Plasma’s sensing abilities kicked in at the last moment as he threw himself to the side with a roll as the third bird came in with a piercing thrust of its peak! It was a failed attempt at impaling Plasma, but he was quick to react as he burst through the air to catch its leg! Gripping onto the bird’s hind-leg, Plasma began to spin around at insane speed as the two began to feel the urge to puke, but Plasma was swift to react and hurled the nauseated bird at its comrades!



The bird was caught by the two, but the disgusting puke that followed up caused them to frown in disgust – a window that Plasma had sought to use – as he charged forward and underneath them as he grabbed their legs and hurled the duo downwards! His hands slashed at the air as he hurled a dozen energy blasts downwards at them, kicking up dust and sand everywhere and blocked their ability to see him! Storming downwards towards the earth, Plasma climbed onto a rock and picked up another as he took aim at the dust-cloud.



Awaiting the first moment as the bird stormed upwards with flight at his last known location, Plasma hurled the rock at the slower bird and hit it right on! It was enough to knock it out as it began seeing stars, and the last remaining combatant noticed it was alone. Plasma taunted it come down with a beckoning wave – and it did so.



This winged dinosaur’s gaze hardened as the two stared each other down. Whilst Plasma was the aggressor, he had a suspicious feeling that these creatures were trailing him due to that omelette he had earlier. It was uncalled for, but their transgression of tracking him could continue no more. Lowering himself into a combative stance, Plasma nodded at the bird as it inhaled deeply to unleash a powerful roar! It stormed forward, throwing aside the rocks with its mighty steps as it sought to ram into Plasma’s position with a tackle!



Plasma lunged forward in between its legs just to be hit by its tail! It felt the impact and swiftly turned around to slap Plasma with its tail once more – and it sent him flying into a nearby rock formation, which left an imprint of the android’s body on the rock. Coughing up dust that he had inhaled, Plasma muttered utter gibberish at the bird – complimenting its ability to fight.



In return, it screeched at him. Touché. Plasma inhaled deeply as he stepped forward and raised his arms up once more – and this time the bird came charging again. Plasma’s attempt to dodge it had failed, but this time it was going to meet the bird head on with all of his might. This dinosaur was furious, but Plasma wasn’t going to relent nor give up the omelette within its stomach.



The featherless bird reached forward with its large claw-hands to catch Plasma, but Plasma interlocked hands with the immense creature as he was forced backwards. The android knew this was a contest of strength now and held the upper hand as he began bending the creature’s hands backwards. Grinning as he made raspberry noises with his tongue, Plasma swiftly let go of the opponent’s hands to fly upwards with an upwards kick to the creatures jaw.



Feeling the powerful strike connecting, Plasma landed on-top of the rock formation and saw the highly exhausted bird lock eyes with him. Charging forward at each other, the two would deliver a sturdy yet brawny punch to each other’s faces – knocking the other out. Fortunately for Plasma however, this was but momentary due to the regenerative cells within him and kicked into overdrive.



Alone on the field of battle, Plasma got up on his feet and saw the unconscious birds and nodded at their resting bodies as he packed his metaphorical bag and continued his journey forward. To elsewhere – to somewhere one could enjoy omelettes and more fridges. A proper training session for the android, and an impression left on the local omelette population. It was Plasma’s former goal, and a goal he had succeeded on.





Days passed as Plasma continued his journey into the distant lands of the earth, and he continued till he reached a healthy forest with all kinds of animals. This was the place that the fellow was going to have his next training session – and a session that involved the wilderness present. Climbing up on a tree, Plasma inhaled deeply as he inflated himself with excessive amounts of air before unleashing a powerful screech into the forest that startled the birds and smaller animals



However, there was one party that did not relent from this challenge that Plasma had decreed to the forest – a massive bear. Plasma, on top of the tree, could see from the crown that trees far away were being bent and thrashed aside. Calmly the android waddled down the tree and reached into the mud to smear two lines across its cheeks as it had seen a guy do on television. A series Plasma had seen through someone’s window without them knowing.



It boosted his morale and courage, and the android lowered itself into a wide combative stance and raised his arms up before him in a claw-like fashion. Closing his eyes for one moment, Plasma felt the immense creature rapidly approach and promptly rolled to the side as the large bear lunged through the forest at his previous position. Mounted on the side of a tree, Plasma’s attention was fixated on the massive bear that swiped with its massive claws at the tree.



Narrowly dodging between the claws, Plasma crashed against the ground before bouncing off it to deliver a trusty kick to the bear’s side! Successfully striking, the bear roared in anger and rammed into Plasma which squeezed him against a nearby tree! Stuck and feeling the increasing pressure that cracked the tree’s bark behind him, Plasma’s chi unleashed a powerful barrier that forced the bear off him! Landing on the ground and on one knee, Plasma gasped for the unnecessary hair and saw the bear get up on its hindlegs.



Rolling forward, Plasma dodged an overhead strike from the bear as he swept though its legs to punch its rear legs as hard as he could! It caused an immediate response from the bear that swiped around itself in an attempt to catch Plasma. Bracing himself for impact, Plasma turned his body to face the claws and pressed his hardened hands against its massive paw to prevent the claws from swiping right through him.



There was a massive contest of strength going on, and Plasma was being forced back as the dirt began to pile up behind his feet as he began to make trails. Metaphorically sweating, Plasma began to press back but felt little room to nudge forward with. Roaring out with a screech, Plasma redirected the bear’s massive paw above him as he rolled forward with intent to leap upwards to pull down the bear by its ear!



Successfully dangling from its ear, Plasma used his energy downwards to cause the unstable bear to smash against the earth with its side! Forcing the air out of the bear’s lungs, Plasma swiftly retaliated by crawling up onto its throat and keeping the creature’s maw shut with both hands. Struggling to get up onto its feet, Plasma dodged as best as he could by moving around on the bear’s face as the beast sought to claw near its own face to catch him! Desperately wanting to ensure he was not sliced, and to maintain the pressure on the bear – he planted his feet right into its eyes and plugged his fingers into its nostrils which greatly angered the bear as it could only breathe through its mouth with immense pain in its eyes!





It startled onto its back, unable to see anything, and Plasma was trying to redirect the rampaging beast towards a desirable location as trees were uprooted, rocks were smashed aside and the bear sought to ram into something. It was cutting close and Plasma had to act quick with every little movement that sought to redirect the creature’s path towards somewhere else through the power of pain so the two weren’t smashed against a rock without Plasma being capable of escaping!





Twigs and branches smashed against the two as they charged forward – eventually reaching a massive road that had a car traversing the countryside. Obviously, he was shocked to witness a massive bear struggling with something that looked like a Changeling and not at the same time. Sadly for him, he was the in the path and his car was flipped onto its back as Plasma began punching away the bear’s face and head to redirect it away from the people.



Successful so far, Plasma noticed in the distance a mountain which was prime for knocking this rampaging challenge out! Reaching into its nose to pull its nose-hairs, Plasma used every tool available to redirect the bear towards the rocky surface for a dramatic finish. Awaiting for the last moment as the bear roared due to the massive pain, Plasma abandoned ship and narrowly dodged becoming squished between rock and beast. The bear was promptly knocked out and Plasma had beaten an opponent through unconventional means – and these means were only temporary, for this bear was going to wake up soon.



With that, Plasm fled the scene to the closest city, but not before flipping the car onto its wheels from earlier!
