I want to sincerely thank both animeprincess1452 and Trugeta for reviewing my first redone chapter of this story! You're both truly awesome, and I appreciate you reviewing again!
To animeprincess1452: Thank you for that compliment! I do hope you like it better than my original start, at least. And thank you for saying that the first one was good...Anyway, thanks for feeling okay with the change!
To Trugeta: Thank you for supporting my decision to rewrite this story! You don't know how much that means to me, so thanks! And yes, you'll see fights that are more interesting than the last (I hope), as I'm changing a few of the fights with who faces off against whom.
Second chapter then, something completely new! Hope you like!
King Kai studied their form and their actions carefully. He was proud of these women; Sena and Dea were hardworking and unrelenting, training night and day without being told. They had made remarkable progress since they were first placed under his instruction.
. . . . . .
Flashback...
"That's it, Sena. You know your goal, now achieve it!" King Kai told her while Dea stood by.
Sena started to yell, as she stood tall and tensed, her fists clenched tightly. Her eyes were widened as if she was insane, and a white, engulfing aura subtly rang as it tried to spike higher. The power-aura created a powerful wind around her, blowing her cranberry-colored hair back.
'I can get it,' she thought. 'I'm going to get it or I'm going to try until I can't any more.' For so many years she'd resented the fact that she wasn't strong enough. That being the oldest of her siblings she was the farthest behind, and that she might never catch up to their level. And she'd paid for it with more than her pride; she'd paid for it with her life! Now she almost had it. The ascension of a Super Saiyan was right at her fingertips, and she wasn't going to allow it to slip away.
Yelling even louder, she held her arms out to the sides, and mentally commanded herself to keep raising her level. She thought back to all of those times that she stood by as her younger siblings surpassed her level. What she had tortured herself to get they easily achieved, almost as if their power had just been handed to them.
Indescribable rage and jealousy started to build up inside her. Her suppressed anger and hatred was growing to the point that it would flood out past the dam.
And suddenly, they saw it. A sudden golden spike in Sena's aura, like an electric spark. For a second her energy field returned to the normal white envelopment, until two more gold flashes finally burst out to the actual ascension.
Her Ki flared out to an incredibly high degree, and a high-pitched frequency – almost like a howling ring – pierced the air. A wind-like force blew her thick blonde hair over her shoulder, and her sharp jade eyes shone brightly.
But something was amiss...her already surprisingly high aura started to grow even more. Soon the pavement beneath her feet began to crumble and break into hundreds of tiny, fractured pieces, and electric sparks flashed here and there over her Ki field.
Dea tried not to let her frightened expression show. She'd seen a Super Saiyan before, but never had it been so intimidating. For only a Super Saiyan, Sena's Ki was unusually powerful, and for some odd reason it wasn't halting in its growth. And that look...it was so calm and murderous at the same time. Dea...was scared...
"Oh, this is just going to get worse," King Kai told her, and the two slowly backed off.
Sena winced. As her strength involuntarily continued to get bigger, she found that finally turning Super Saiyan was extremely painful. A stabbing sensation was searing into her skin, very slowly and steadily. She'd pushed herself too far; this was too fast of ascension for her!
She began to groan in the horrible pain. It was gradually becoming more excruciating. Before she knew what was going on, she felt like someone was pouring hot, boiling water into her veins and applying burning metal all over her skin. Her groans rose to loud screams, until suddenly a larger golden flash in her Ki flared out.
But it was too much too soon. In the sudden eruption of a Super Saiyan Two, all of that energy overwhelmed her, and no sooner had she transformed than she suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious.
"What...happened...?" Dea stammered, one of the few times she actually spoke.
King Kai was so shocked that he never replied.
It was three entire weeks of staying in bed, recovering from her ordeal, until Sena was ready to tackle the power-up again, and practiced for months on end until she was able to harness her Super Saiyan Two abilities. Everything was a challenge, nothing was easy; but that was what made it worth the work. It was what Saiyans were driven to do.
The entirety of it was stunning. Never had King Kai (and especially Dea) seen such a thing in their lives.
. . . . . .
End Flashback...
Now the two women were in the middle of a sparring session. They threw hit after hit at one another while King Kai kept on correcting their form and their moves.
"What are you doing, Dea? More defense, and move faster. You'll never get anywhere if you keep that up."
Despite her annoyance at his never-ending remarks, she did as she was told. Bracing her body even more, she flew at Sena and brought a hit up near her face.
The elder caught the hit within her palm and held it back, then kicked Dea aside.
She landed on the ground, and got some dark grass stains on her pants and the palms of her hands. She stood back up and scowled at Sena.
"Good try, Dea. But you know you can do better," her instructor said.
"I vote we take a break for food," she said.
Sena nodded. "Agreed."
King Kai considered this. "Hm...Well, you two have been working very hard lately. You deserve a break."
The two women started to head toward the small house, leaving King Kai to gaze out at the horizon. 'Things have certainly changed since they showed up. And I'm not the only one to realize this. Well, these two certainly have been doing a good job...I just wonder how the other one's doing?'
There was the next chapter, then. I hope you guys liked it. Review!
