After what felt like many days of stiff legged walking, but was really only hours, Ander came to the crest of a hill. The blizzard had let up about a mile ago and he could now see for about a half a mile circle around himself. He spied a palace, made completely of ice. It shimmered in the little bit of light that actually made it through the clouds. This was good... it meant that there was some form of life in this place, and maybe he would find what he was sent here to find inside that palace. He set off a bit faster than before, now that he had a real direction, and in very little time, he was at the giant stair case at the foot of the front door. Climbing up these stairs one a t a time, the Namekian felt the ground shudder, not only once, but at almost regular intervals. As if a very powerful person was at a black smith's forge, beating a piece of metal into the proper shape. This just piqued his curiosity and made him walk even faster. In no time at all, he was standing out the front of the massive double doors. Without even a slight pause, Ander knocked on the door. Three sharp knocks and waited patiently, shirtless with his arms crossed in front of his chest, for whatever owned this palace to come and let him in.

When the daemon opened the door, he saw a modestly clothed being of bright green skin and what seemed to be muscle mass on the outside of the skin in places. Hachi spoke calmly as if nothing were amiss, not the skin color, not the weather, and especially not the cackling spirit which seemed to haunt his mind just to torture him “only fools tempt fate off worlder” he opened the door wide enough for him to gain passage “are you like the others who come to see me? Do you need some favor, have you heard some rumor about me and have come to learn something, or maybe..” he looked to the green man with a smile “maybe you’ve come to kill me?”

Ander now had something to prove to Hachi, he needed to show the demon that he was not to be under estimated. Since he preferred close combat to any other type of fighting he quickly thought of a way to get in close before Hachi could react too much. When the energy ball had almost bridged half of the gap between the two warriors, Ander moved fast and threw his own ball of yellow energy at Hachi's blue one. Hoping they would collide in a puff of smoke.
But as soon as his energy ball left his right hand, Ander quickly stepped forward and attempted to run to his opponent, under the cover of the smoke left behind by the energy balls. Once there he would throw three basic punches, two to the body and one to the face. This was just to see what level of physical ability Hachi stood at.

In his head he replayed what had just happened so that it would not be such a surprise next time.
It was all going to plan, his energy ball collided with his opponent's and created a cloud of smoke. He analysed that situation, the cloud of smoke was a little bit smaller than he expected, but there was nothing wrong with that scene. The next thing that happened was that the namekian pushed through the cloud and threw out three punches and in that flurry he managed to land a solid blow to the head.
Still nothing wrong.
The demon stepped back and was standing waay out of striking range, but he still threw a punch. His jaw dropped for a second as his mind showed him what looked like the head of an arrow coming out of the demon's extended fist. Here is where stuff went sideways as Ander instinctively raised his right hand to block the projectile.
It came soaring at his face, fast and his hand came up to meet it. The attack pierced right through the dead centre of his palm and the tip scraped a tiny gash into his cheek before coming to a halt halfway through his hand. Ander wondered what else his opponent could pull out during battle and he knew there was only one way to find out.
"Now that... was a COOL trick."
"I'm starting to see why students come to you for training"
Ander made it a point to control the pain coming out of his hand, it would come in very useful later on in the battle.
It was now his move and he knew that he needed to get in range again if he had any chance of winning this fight. While he searched for his opportunity he leapt up into the air and floated in a circle around his opponent, being very wary of any more projectiles. He shot three small energy balls at Hachi, hoping to lure him into making a move, or making a mistake.
