I've been feverishly working on my writing all night. No rest for the wicked.

Hope and Cabba shake hands and Cabba smiles "I'm Cabba, from Planet Sadal. I'm honored to fight another Saiyan, especially one from another universe with your level of power. I'm sure this will be a good fight." Hope nods "I'm sure it will be worth talking about later." The ref raises his hand "Begin!" Cabba goes on the offensive immediately, rushing right at Hope and attacking her with a flurry of kicks and punches, forcing Hope on the defensive.

In her slightly weakened and battle worn state, Hope struggles a little to keep up with the fresh fighter Cabba, who counters her right and left, leaving her open for a spin kick to the chest that knocks her back. He takes a step back, getting in Vegeta's stance, and Hope goes wide eyed "Impossible... no. I see it now." Cabba rushes towards Hope and this time Hope has an answer for every one of his strikes, countering them with ease despite being tired.

Hope breaks Cabba's guard, knocking aside his right kick counterattack, and delivering a strong kick to his chest, knocking him back. Both fighters simultaneously form the Gallick Gun and fire it at each other, both attacks neutralizing each other out. Hope smiles "This has been fun so far. Let's go all out."
Cabba frowns and hangs his head "I... can't transform like you can. Can you teach me how to become a Super Saiyan?" Hope glares at Cabba, then looks up at Vegeta. Vegeta gives her a small nod and she turns back to Cabba, smirking "You have some nerve, kid, asking me that kind of favor!"

Five years prior, when Hope was 8.

"Uncle Vegeta!" Vegeta stops before entering the Gravity room, smiling over at Hope "Hello Hope. Come to train with me today?" She nods eagerly "I just finished my schoolwork, and I'm ready to kick your butt today!" Vegeta smirks "I'm sure you will try. But until you become a Super Saiyan, you don't have a chance against me in a real fight."

Hours pass, with Vegeta and Hope trading blows at 200 times Earth's gravity, which was much less than what Vegeta usually used, but just perfect for a long sparring session. Hope wipes the sweat from her brow on her gi, smiling over at her training partner "Hey Uncle Vegeta, how did you become a Super Saiyan?" He looks up and sighs "I was on the brink of death, literally killing myself in a desperate attempt to ascend beyond, when I finally let go of doing it in order to surpass Kakarot, and i stopped caring. I let go of everything, and as I released all that pent up rage and emotion, I finally realized my calling, and obtained the Super Saiyan form."

She smiles "But you did surpass Kakarot after all, right?" Vegeta shrugs a little "The top spot has always alluded me. It's rather irritating, though to be honest I would never miss an opportunity to fight him regardless of how much stronger than me he is, because win lose or draw battling him will only make me stronger. At the rate you are progressing, you might surpass both of us. Not surprising, considering the blood of a Legendary Super Saiyan flows through your veins."

Hope smiles up at him "Uncle Vegeta, can you make me a Super Saiyan?" Vegeta folds his arms, smirking and he growls a little "You have some nerve, kid, asking me that kind of favor!" Vegeta turns Super Saiyan, and Hope takes a few steps back from him, before he closed the distance and punches her in the gut.

Present

Hope's Super Saiyan aura flares to life. Cabba takes a few steps back, and Hope closes the distance, slugging him in the stomach hard. She spin kicks him in the side, then hits him with a hard left hook. Cabba is knocked back by her punch "Is this the best fighter Planet Sadal has?!" Cabba tries to stand, but Hope walks over to him and plants her foot firmly on his head "Ha, you want to know the secret to going Super Saiyan?"

She grinds her foot against his head, then kicks him hard in the side, walking over to his prone body "The secret is pain! You don't know pain! You don't know terror! Well, you just met me. Congratulations." Hope picks him up by his collar, glaring into his eyes "I can show you fear. I can show you pain." She punches the nearly unconscious Cabba in the stomach to keep him conscious. He gasps for air "I give-" Hope shakes him "You dare try to give up and i will vaporize you, damn the rules."

Five years prior

Vegeta throws the barely conscious Hope on the floor of the Gravity chamber, who struggles just to lift her arms and head. Vegeta outstretches his hand, forming a ki blast "Are you going to lay there and die, or are you going to rise above?!" Hope's aura flickers and her hair flashes gold for a brief second before she passes out. Vegeta turns off the gravity controls, sighing "So close."

When Hope comes to, the first thing she does is sit up and punch Vegeta in the face. He takes the hit, having anticipated it "I can't believe you would say all those mean things!" Vegeta smirks "Then you missed the point to the training Hope. Super Saiyan is a form that requires anger and the pain of loss to achieve. It doesn't just happen." Hope nods a little "I understand now Uncle Vegeta."

Present

A familiar scene plays out before Hope, but this time she stands over Cabba, threatening to end his life "Are you going to lay there and die? Fail your teammates, fail your family, fail your planet? Of course you are. Because you come from a pathetic planet. I could wipe them all out as easily as I have vanquished you. They are next." She grins wide, chuckling a little. Cabba forces himself to stand, inches from her ki blast. Cabba slaps her hand away, her blast hitting the barrier and detonating.

Hope looks at Cabba quizzically, who begins to glow yellow. Cabba clenches his fists so tightly they bleed, his eyes turning blue as yellow lightning pulses around him, his aura suddenly igniting and glowing golden as he lets his rage free "Leave Planet Sadal alone!" He hits Hope with a hard right hook, following it up with a rapid flurry of lefts and rights.

Hope barely keeps pace with the rage filled Cabba as he forces her back. Hope blocks his high kick but he goes for a followup sweeping kick, kicking her feet out from under her then dropkicking her up into the air. Cabba sledgehammer punches Hope into the ground, then fires off a wide ranged volley of ki blasts. Hope endures the blasts, then swipes her hand upward and dozens of blasts detonate, cutting off Cabba's attack. Cabba flies down at her and connects with a right to her face, but his punch doesn't phase her. Hope smiles "Now you understand what it takes to truly grow stronger."

He takes a step back, reverting to his base form "You did all that, just to help me transform?" Hope nods "Of course. Now, can you do the transformation on your own?" Cabba turns Super Saiyan and Hope smiles "Good. Don't forget this." Hope clenches her fists, yelling out as her hair grows out, her eyebrows receding and her bulk increasing slightly "This... this is Super Saiyan three. This is also where we part ways. For now." She dashes forward and knees him in the gut so hard his feet leave the ground, his Super Saiyan aura fading as he is knocked unconscious.

Hope reverts to her base form and flies up to Whis, once it was announced she had won "Some water for me and him, if you wouldn't mind." Whis conjures up a pitcher and Hope chugs half of it, tossing the rest on Cabba to wake him up "Do not ever forget the pride of a Saiyan. Our pride is something that defines us." Vegeta grins and turns to Broly, and they say in unison "Spoken like a true Saiyan."

Cabba nods "Hopefully one day I can be as strong as you, Hope-sensei!" She slams down the jug "No self respecting, prideful Saiyan would ever be satisfied with being on par with anyone! You will make it your goal to surpass me if you call yourself a Saiyan warrior!" He stands up straighter "Y-yes ma'am!" She smirks "Good."

Cabba flies up to his fighter's stands, where Champa was becoming extremely antsy "She's picking them all off one by one... I only have one fighter left!" Vados giggles "I wouldn't be concerned Lord Champa, the last fighter on our roster is our ace in the hole." Champa stands "Hey, Hope! Don't you want to take a break?! Sit down for a while and maybe let someone else fight in there? I'm sure it would be fine if you backed out of the last match! Why not make it fair?!"

Hope folds her arms "It has been fair. I've just outlasted all your fighters, and now you want to get me to back out to improve your odds of winning. Well, I'm not just here for a good fight. You threatened my home, which is unforgivable. If I ever have the chance-" She points at Champa "I will destroy you Champa!"
