Chapter 10: The Training Continues
Zucca stands in the white void of the hyperbolic time chamber, staring over at Rekka. She stands ready in position. She was fully prepared to try and become a Super Saiyan.
"Okay, now close your eyes...imagine Planet Vegeta in ruin...imagine Aspar is standing right in front of you...laughing at you...", Rekka says.
Zucca does as he says. She powers up and begins to scream at the top of her lungs. She imagined Aspar killing the King and his followers, reducing whole cities to ruin. She cries out, "Leave my planet alone!". The energy around her intensifies...her hair begins to stand up and change color. She continues screaming as the transformation starts to take effect. Her dark eyes begin to flash to the same brilliant green that all Super Saiyans have. A minute later, there she stood, a female Super Saiyan. She couldn't believe the power that was coursing through her body. She felt more powerful than she ever had imagined she would be.
Rekka grins. "Now I won't have to hold back my power when we train together."
"Don't hold anything back...I want to be ready for Aspar."
"We will be ready for him. Of that I am sure. I can sense that there is still another plateau to climb to, and we will both do just that. We will ascend, and then we will defeat Aspar...once and for all.", Rekka says coldly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goten stands atop a cliff on a deserted island. He hurls blast after blast onto the ground below in anger.
"If only I had more Saiyan blood...I could be a Super Saiyan...then that blasted Zucca wouldn't know what hit her!", he yells.
He continues this for hours, takes a brief break and continues. Goten was determined to continue to train until he was stronger than her...no matter how long it took.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dende stood outside Capsule Corp. while Syrell fixed the space-pod.
"Someone ought to design these things to land properly.", she snorts as she works.
"How much longer?", Dende shouts.
"Calm down, Dende, you told me I had a whole day...it should be done in an hour or so.", she says. "So anyway, you say the Dragonballs are gone now?"
"Yes...when I merged with Piccolo I became a different being than the one I was before. Since the original entity that created the Dragonballs no longer exists, they also do not exist."
"That sounds like a real bummer.", she says. "I hope that we'll do alright without them."
"It's quite alright...the people of Namek sensed what happened. They most likely have a new guardian on the way as we speak, and that guardian can recreate the Dragonballs.", he says.
"Hmm...looks like I'm all done here.", Syrell says with a smile. "Now, let's go see this place of yours..."
Dende walks over and picks up the space-pod. "Can you fly?", he asks.
She floats up into the air. "Of course I can fly...", she replies. "Now let's move out! Lead the way!"
Dende takes off in the direction of Dende's place with Syrell closely behind.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, in the hyperbolic time chamber, Rekka and Zucca were fighting at an incredible pace. The two warriors were moving so fast that their voices had to catch up with them. Then Rekka stops.
"Why did you stop?", she asks.
"You're holding back...", he replies.
"How...how did you know?", she said with a surprised look.
"Because I have been too...perhaps we were both trying to lower ourselves to each other's levels, when in reality...both of us have ascended already.", he says. "Show me your true power...", he says.
"As you wish...", she replies as she begins to power up. Rekka's eyes go wide. An enormous wave of energy surrounds her, her muscles grow to large proportions, and she simply smiles. She had ascended. Rekka looked on in awe, then he snapped out of it.
"Now I will show you mine...", he says as he begins a similar transformation. This time Zucca was the one to look on in awe. She knew that as powerful as she was, Rekka was still stronger...he had also ascended.
There they stood...two ascended Saiyans, staring at each other's raw power. Zucca was the first to strike...she hit hard and she hit fast. Rekka responded with a powerful punch to the chest. The two then went into their usual sparring routine. They kept this up as they approached the end of their year in the chamber.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dende lands and sets down the space-pod. Syrell takes a look around.
Gohan comes to greet them. "Dende!", he yells. Then he sees Syrell standing next to him. He gets nervous and blushes. "Why hello there...", he says.
"Oh brother...", Syrell says as she rolls her eyes.
Gohan backs away and lowers his head.
Suddenly, the three of them look toward the time chamber in shock.
"Do you two sense that?", Syrell asks.
"They're coming out...", Dende says.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goten stops his training and looks in the direction of Dende's place.
"No! It's not possible! She's much stronger than before! Damn it!"
He fires out all the ki blasts he can muster until the island explodes from his rage. He then floats there, holding his head and wondering how he will ever be able to be stronger than Zucca.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two Saiyans walk out into the open area. Their clothes were tattered and torn. The two of them both looked older and more mature. Gohan and Syrell just gazed at them in shock at their power. Dende could tell their power was great, but he had expected them to go that far in the chamber. Syrell looked Rekka and Zucca over, and couldn't believe what she saw.
~~Unbelievable~~, she thought. ~~So this is what it felt like to be around Vegeta, I'll bet. Such intense power...it's incredible!~~
Rekka looks over to Dende. "We're ready to depart. There's no time to waste."
