Chapter Five: Introduction to the Super Saiyan
"What is this place Goku?" Hitsura asked, examining the large crome room with a small computer in it's core.
"It's a gravity room. We can change how much gravity is pumped into this single room and, well, improve. I think I'll start you off at 50 times Earth's gravity. Sound good?" Goku replied making his way to the computer.
"Fifty times Earth's gravity is ten less than the conditions on my planet."
"Oh....sure. Let's try 110 times Earth's normal gravity. Goten is at 270 right now. Maybe by the afternoon we'll have you at 160; a good match for Goten." Goku said entering the code into the computer. Hitsura felt the pressure almost instantly. "You alright there kid?"
Hitsura nodded weakly, managing to stand up straight. "We'll start you off with a couple hundred push ups. Sound good?" Hitsura sighed. He had always hated physical fitness. When he trained, he trained with katas, weapons, and basic/advanced self defense techniques. He tried the best he could to stay away from pushups, pull ups, crunches, and the like.
"Not really, but I guess it's unavoidable." With another sigh he dropped on his knuckles and began to pump them out. "How--many---am---I--doing?"
"Only about 3000. A might have mistakenly mislead you in saying a couple hundred." Goku laughed, scratching the back of his head.
"I--bet--Goten---doesn't---do---this---many....." Hitsura complained, continuing to move up and down. (Everyone get their head out of the gutter! That's not what I was suggesting!)
"Actually in 270 he does about 7000. That's my boy for ya'." This statement not only shocked Hitsura, but gave him motivation.
Time Elapse
"2998....2999...3000! Good job Hitsura!" Goku congratulated as he continued to do push ups himself; he had started at the same time Hitsura had. Hitsura collapsed as he attempted to do one more. He took the blue towel laying next to him and wiped the beading sweat from his forehead.
"I am definitely not liking this so far Goku. Now I know why that little tike was so strong. Seven thousand in 270 times? That is impressive."
"Like I said. That's my boy. Next we'll do a couple thousand crunches. Before we do that we'll do a little Ki endurance at this gravity level. Come on, you can get up Hitsura. We still have a lot more to do." Hitsura grumbled a little bit before slowly standing up, the gravity's weight still bothering him. "These walls are a unique metal. A metal that had the ability to deflect pretty much any Ki related energy. Start off with some simple ki balls and try to send them back to the wall a couple times before re-absorbing them." Goku instructed, Hitsura complying the second he stopped talking. Hitsura was fine with the first fifteen but as the number reached 20, 30, and 35 he found it smart to stop. Goku was very impressed at how fast he had become sense he had first met him. The balls never took power over him, even as he began to lose control of their direction as they began to bounce around like a bullet against a metal crate.
"How do I absorb them Goku? I am trying but they keep deflecting!" Hitsura pleaded as Goku watched and laughed.
"Let them explode on you! It may hurt, but it will definitely condition you. And....NOW!" As soon as his command rang out several tiny explosions erupted all over every part of Hitsura, bringing him to his knees. "Get up kid. This isn't the end. Now blast three Jade Cannon waves at the wall and deflect them."
"But Goku! They will slowly begin to merge! And sense I am firing three, the last two will combine to be humongous all on their own, even without the first one! That's nearly impossible! Especially with these gravity conditions!"
"I was counting on that! And now I want to add a little something extra into the mix. Temperature conditioning. Prof. Briefs added it on just a couple weeks before you arrived. I think we'll raise the temp from 110ºF to 170ºF. Have fun!" Goku laughed, entering the right code to do so. The heat stung Hitsura like a swarm of locust. As he started to say he couldn't do it at this heat, he remembered Goten.
"How hot does Goten have it?"
"About 230ºF. Not that hot. That is the one thing he doesn't tend to do that well at. Now, fire the Jade Cannon wave three times." Hitsura did as he was told and could only witness the mighty force of the combined waves as they through him against the wall, continuing to bounce of him him and go back. "Come on Hitsura. Don't give up. IF it does come to be unbearable, let it overwhelm you. It's the only way." Only about 20 minutes after Goku said this, Hitsura allowed the massive attack to consume him. When the blinding the light cleared, Goku stared at Hitsura who was still on his feet. His gi top was torn to shreds and the knees of his Gi pants were ripped, giving the young warrior shorts and nothing but that to wear. His chest seemed to be burned to an odd purple color and his arms had several wounds in them. The arm wounds were from the ki balls and the burn was from the last part of the training. Surprisingly, Hitsura spoke.
"What n-next S-sensei?" Goku couldn't help but be proud.
"I am going to increase the gravity to 140 times Earth's gravity and the temperature is going to go up 30ºF, leaving you at 200ºF. Only 30ºF from Goten. Ready?" Hitsura gave him an obviously fake smile as he nodded.
"Bring it on."
The training went on like this for another three hours. In that time Hitsura had caught up to Goten in temperature but had only gotten to 220x; not being able to go much further with his exhausted body. As he emerged from the what he had come to call the "Chamber of Eternal Pain and Suffering" Goten and Trunks were their to meet him.
"You sure look pooped Hitsura. I hope you rest up enough for another spar. I still don't plan to give Trunks a turn." Goten said hugging Hitsura's knees.
"I hope you trained enough. I want a tearn with you." Trunks said smiling.
"Okay little guy. I gotta get to bed. You better train yourself. I am confident I am gonna take you down."
"I don't know big brother--" Goten stopped; catching himself. He shrugged it off thinking that Hitsura was just like a brother. "I have a secret weapon just in case you do pose a threat." With that Goten flew away, Trunks chasing him.
`Secret weapon? Hmmmmm....no problem. I can take it. Especially with what I went through today.'
Time Elapse
After Hitsura finished dinner, he made his way onto the "ring" where Goten wasted no time stretching.
"You ready Hitsura?"
"The question is....are you ready?" Hitsura responding cracking his neck. Goku signaled for the match to commence and that it did. The two warriors clashed back and forth, matching every punch and every kick until Goten managed to slip in a knee to the jaw, sending Hitsura into a back flip followed by a loud thud as he hit the ground.
"MASENKO...........HA!" Goten shouted, firing a odd colored beam of light. The attacked nailed it's target, causing Hitsura to go further into the dry soil. "I'm coming for you!" Announced Goten giddily. When he reached the angled hold in the ground a fist met his jaw followed by a punch to the brow. "Hey! Sneak attack!" complained Goten wiping the blood before it could reach his eye.
"Not from where I was......laying." Replied Hitsura, leaping into the air. "Now for a little taste from your dad to you. KA--ME--HA--ME--HA!" Hitsura bellowed, sending an orange wave of energy towards the Xed armed of Goten, causing it to head back. Remembering his training, Hitsura slapped it away with confidence. "Not this time little bro. YAH! YAH! YAH! YAH! YAH!" Hitsura announced, sending hundreds of ki blasts towards Goten almost simultaneously. Goten had definitely found change in his battle friend, but not enough to faze him with this. As Goten slapped away the last remaining blasts a fist appeared out of no where, slamming into his eye socket. The next rush up pain was in his abs then in his back, seaming to happen all at once. When he felt safe to get up he opened his eyes and did so. He had been tossed several hundred meters away by the assault. Before he could be awed at the massive change in Hitsura another pierce of pain made itself known in the back of his head. When he landed he felt a strange and warm sensation waking its way down his head. He touched his hand to it and brought it to his left eye (his right eye swell a little from one of Hitsura's attacks).
`One more hit like that and I am gonna have to teach Hitsura a lesson.' Goten thought, swirling 180º and introducing his elbow to solar plex of Hitsura. He lifted his hand up without thought, his knuckled smashing into the nose of his attacker. Goten watched happily and Hitsura bounced off the ground, leaving the blood from his nose lingering for a while in the air. He thrusted his foot back in response to Hitsura's disappearance of image. The foot missed its mark, instead being caught in the arm pit of Hitsura. With a short laugh Hitsura blasted an odd electric shot into Goten's spinal nerves; crippling him just long enough for Hitsura to power up the serpent crush. When Goten retrieved control of his body he could once again no longer move. A ki snake strangling him.
"Come on Goku! Call me in!"
"In a second...I think Goten's about to....you know..." Goten used what strength he could mutter up and put his trembling fingers to his head.
"S-solar F-flare!" Goten managed to say, using a little of what was left of the setting sun to blinding Hitsura long enough to brake his concentration. "You've done it Hitsura. You have become a match to this form. Now I will show you a little trick I picked up." Hitsura gained sight back just as Goten bellowed with power, rocks lifting up with his call. Hitsura shielded himself as gigantic boulder began imploding with the energy the boy was giving off. His hair shot up into neat golden spikes and his eyes turned as blue as the mighty ocean.
"W-what is this?"
"Super Saiyan my friend. Prepare to suffer." Goku mocked, his Saiyan pride getting the best of him. Hitsura backed up in fear as the being known as Goten made his way towards him. Hitsura was ashamed of being so frightened by this small creature. But the power, oh the power he was giving off was unbelievable it made him freeze. His bones seemed to shake and vibrate as Goten approached.
"I apologize for this. But it will be good for you to learn a little lesson about what we Saiyans are known for." Goten said calmly, his wounds no longer bothering him. He cupped his palms on top of each other and concentrated, a large golden ball almost escaping his grasp. "KA--ME--KA--ME--HAAAAAA!!!!!!" Before Hitsura could find his mispronunciation humorous, he was tossed into an array of trees and brush with the impact of the blast. As he lay unconscious on the ground Goten approached him. "I am sorry I had to do this. It will be a good lesson to expect the unexpected." Goten said powering down to his carefree old self. "I'll bring him inside Dad." Goku nodded, watching Goten carry off the bloody beaten up body of his student.
Well my friends. That is the last of the in-depth chapters of training you will have to bare. I am glad though that hiro finds this entertaining. I do need some more reviews peeps so please r/r. Peace to you hiro for being a dedicated "fan" if you will.
